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  + `*fix a reference` (without any coordinates) is now an error.  The
81    `reference` token provides a way to have a list of known fixed points which
82    are not expected to all be currently used, while omitting the coordinates
83    provides a way to specify a point to arbitrarily fix rather than rely on
84    cavern picking one.  Allowing both together doesn't really make sense.
85
86  + Improve check for 180° backclino to suppress the warning about a compass
87    reading on a plumbed leg (introduced in 1.4.8) to allow a small tolerance
88    on the value.  Previously the check wasn't working on x86 Linux for
89    example.
90
91  + Enhancements and fixes to reading Walls WPJ and SRV files:
92
93    - The `RECT=` command is now fully supported.
94
95    - Fix `#DATE` with an active `.REF` to act like `DECL=`.  This matches what
96      the documentation says and what Walls seems to actually do.  Thanks to
97      Erik C. Landgraf and Joe for spotting and analysing this issue.
98
99    - Allow completely omitting the clino on a wall shot (with `ORDER=DAV` or
100      `ORDER=ADV`).  Reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
101
102    - Resolve WPJ `.PATH` relative to innermost containing book.
103
104    - Handle an empty Walls station name.  Walls allows a station with an
105      explicit prefix to have an empty name, e.g. `PEP:`.  The Walls
106      documentation doesn't mention this, though it also doesn't explicitly say
107      the name can't be empty.  This quirk seems unlikely to be intentionally
108      used and Survex doesn't allow an empty station name, so we issue a
109      warning and use the name `empty name` (which has a space in, so can't
110      collide with a real Walls station name which can't contain a space) - so
111      `PEP:` in Walls becomes `PEP.empty name` in Survex.  Reported by Erik C.
112      Landgraf.
113
114    - Flag stations with explicit Walls prefix as exported.  Suggested by Eric
115      C. Landgraf.
116
117    - Fix setting empty Walls macro with a comment right after it.
118
119    - Walls quietly ignores junk after the numeric argument in `TYPEAB=`,
120      `TYPEVB=`, `UV=`, `UVH=`, and `UVV=`.  This seems to be an undocumented
121      feature/bug so Survex emits a warning and skips the junk.  Reported by
122      Eric C. Landgraf.
123
124    - After an unknown Walls option we now process the rest of the line.
125      Previously we were skipping the rest of the line.
126
127    - We no longer skip the rest of the line after a bad Walls `ORDER=` option.
128
129    - Correct the reported column for some Walls option diagnostics.
130
131    - Support explicit units on Walls clino readings.  Reported by Eric C.
132      Landgraf.
133
134    - Allow `#` in Walls station names.  This is explicitly documented as not
135      allowed, but the documentation doesn't match the implementation and `#`
136      is present in some real-world data.  Reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
137
138    - Improve handling of Walls `RESTORE` error.  Highlight the position in the
139      line and don't skip the rest of the line.
140
141    - Don't warn about `INCH=` with a zero argument since that's the one case
142      of it we do handle!
143
144    - Fix not to skip the rest of the line after Walls `INCH=` option.
145      We currently don't support `INCH=` so we warn about it, but we were
146      skipping the rest of the line, then trying to read and discard the
147      argument to `INCH=` which gave an error.  Reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
148
149    - Relax handling of Walls `CASE=`.  It's not documented, but Walls32.exe
150      quietly treats unknown values as "Mixed".  Reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
151
152* dump3d:
153
154
155* documentation:
156
157  + The manual has been converted from DocBook to reStructured Text.  The
158    plaintext-based format is much easier for making changes, and for users the
159    output from sphinx looks nicer and has extra features (like built-in "Quick
160    search" in the HTML output).
161
162    The plain text version of the manual is no longer generated.  Sphinx can
163    produce one but the .rst sources actually seem more readable for anyone
164    wanting to read the manual in plain text.
165
166    The extra targets to generate the manual in RTF and PostScript
167    have been dropped as I doubt they are still used (we stopped
168    providing them on the website years ago).  They could probably be
169    reinstated if there's a demand for them.
170
171  + The conversion was partly automated followed by a full pass over the
172    result fixing issues with the automated conversion.  We took the
173    opportunity to also review the content and update or remove out of
174    date and other incorrect information, and to reorder some of the content.
175
176  + Document PLT export.
177
178  + The HTML version of the 1.4.9 manual was missing the Walls chapter
179    and had messed up paging links around it (due to the new CMAP chapter
180    accidentally also being given the filename `walls.htm`).  Reported by Eric
181    C. Landgraf.
182
183  + Document we don't enforce Walls' station or prefix length limits.
184
185  + Document handling of Walls `#NOTE`.
186
187  + Fix documentation of Walls `FLAG=` which is correctly handled, not skipped.
188
189  + Minor improvements to --help output
190
191* img library:
192
193
194* Build system:
195
196* testsuite:
197
198  + Add testcase for Walls `#units order=da`.
199
200  + Add expected output for more testcases
201
202  + Add testcase for exporting .3d files.
203
204  + Adjust testcases to try to avoid bogus failures due to excess precision
205    on x86 when using 387 FP instructions.
206
207* translations:
208
209  + Diagnostics can now use positional arguments which sometimes allows a
210    more natural word order in the translation.
211
212Changes in 1.4.9 (2024-07-04):
213
214* aven:
215
216  + Support showing geodata overlays in Aven.  We use the GDAL library to load
217    the data, so this should work for any format which GDAL supports so long as
218    it can be read from the filing system and is geo-referenced vector data -
219    see https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html for a list.  Currently the
220    dialog to select a file defaults to showing GPX, KML, GeoJSON and shape
221    files - set the filter to "All Files" to chose other formats.
222
223  + Reimplement display of cavern output.  The old version turned the log into
224    HTML and displayed it using wxHtmlWindow, but that adds a lot of overhead
225    and is especially inefficient if there are many diagnostics - cavern could
226    finish almost instantly yet aven could take many seconds to process the
227    output.  The new version renders directly from the log data.  It should
228    have most of the features from before - the only missing feature I'm
229    currently aware of is that you can't now select and copy text from the log
230    window, which wxHtmlWindow provided for free.  If people miss this feature,
231    we could add it to the new implementation.
232
233  + (Microsoft Windows version): Clicks in the cavern log window which load
234    files into an editor now protect the filename if it starts with a dash
235    to prevent it being interpreted as a command line option.  We already
236    do this for other platforms, but weren't on Microsoft Windows on the
237    assumption that it isn't needed because the filenames will be fully
238    qualified, but that may not be the case if aven if run by hand from the
239    command line or from some other launcher.
240
241* cavern:
242
243  + Add support for processing Walls format survey data (.SRV and .WPJ files).
244    This support is somewhat experimental but at a point where it seems useful
245    to make it easier for people to try out.  See the manual for a list of
246    known shortcomings.  Thanks to Eric C. Landgraf for a lot of testing and
247    encouragement.
248
249  + Fix bug with Compass DAT diving data.  If a survey uses the depth gauge
250    then since 1.4.6 we set its style to "diving", but we weren't clearing that
251    so all surveys after than in the same DAT file were also set as "diving".
252
253  + When parsing of Compass DAT files we report errors in more cases if the
254    input doesn't conform to the format we expect, rather than potentially
255    quietly misinterpreting the data.
256
257  + *entrance now suppresses "Unused fixed point" warning.  This warning is
258    intended to catch typos, which is much less likely for a station named
259    twice.  It's also reasonable to use only *fix and *entrance on a station at
260    the entrance of an unsurveyed cave.
261
262  + Highlight plumbed clino readings fully in diagnostics.  Now the full reading
263    is highlighted instead of just the first character.
264
265  + Report location of previous fix after "already fixed" error/warning.
266
267  + Use "info" diagnostic category for "Originally entered here" message.  This
268    is more logical as the original *begin isn't something to be warned about,
269    only the reentering is.  This was only a warning before because we didn't
270    used to have "info" diagnostics.
271
272  + Use "info" diagnostic category for message about not reporting further
273    uses of a deprecated feature.  Previously this was a warning, but the newer
274    "info" category is more appropriate here.
275
276  + The message about inventing a fixed point is now an "info" diagnostic which
277    allows us to report a location which is where that station is defined,
278    which may be useful to the user.
279
280  + Make highlighting position in error reporting more robust.  We no longer
281    try to highIight if we calculate a negative column offset, when previously
282    we would print billions of spaces.  As far as I know this has never
283    happened in a released version.
284
285  + Error messages which report the program name now remove any ".exe" suffix.
286    This helps the testsuite by making the expected output the same
287    cross-platform, but also seems slightly nicer for users.
288
289* dump3d:
290
291  + The timestamp reported by DATE_NUMERIC is now printed portably.  Previously
292    we were assuming that a time_t is the same size as a long int, which is not
293    true on all platforms.
294
295* manual:
296
297  + (Microsoft Windows version): Update information about installation
298    with/without admin rights.
299
300  + Summarise support for reading CMAP data and its assumptions and
301    limitations.
302
303  + Mention Compass, Walls and CMAP support in the importing data howto
304    section.
305
306  + Drop mention of Rosetta Stal from the manual.  The referred to link from
307    our website was removed in 2015 because Rosetta Stal hadn't been updated
308    for 13.5 years at that point.  Now the domain it was available from has
309    lapsed and is a domain squatter "for sale" page.
310
311* img library:
312
313  + The coordinates in CMAP data are in feet but we were dividing rather
314    than multiplying by the conversion factor to get metres so all
315    coordinates were about 10.76 times too large.
316
317  + Stations in CMAP "station" variant XYZ files are now flagged as
318    underground (as they always have been for "shot" variant XYZ files).
319
320  + When reading CMAP XYZ files, we no longer emit duplicate img_LABEL for
321    stations in loops.
322
323  + A CMAP XYZ file without a survey title is now handled correctly (this was
324    reporting a bogus "Out of memory" error).
325
326  + The img.h header now defines constants IMG_VERSION_SURVEX_POS, etc for the
327    values reported in the version field for non-.3d formats.
328
329  + (Microsoft Windows version): Workaround limitation of Microsoft's C
330    library so we handle dates before 1970 in Compass PLT files, CMAP XYZ
331    files, and older format .3d files.  Previously these were reported
332    as "unknown date".
333
334* We now support overriding the location of support files by setting the
335  SURVEXLIB environment variable.  We no longer look at the srcdir
336  environment variable for this.
337
338* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created automatically
339  on Github actions, which has required a few changes.  It now packages a
340  64-bit build, and is created with Innosetup 6.3.2 which no longer supports
341  Vista.  The installer is also now significantly larger, which is mostly
342  because we now need to include a large number of DLLs, most of which are
343  dependencies of the mingw64 FFmpeg and GDAL packages.
344
345* (Microsoft Windows version): If the directory where we expect the PROJ
346  support files to be does not exist for some reason we now avoid triggering
347  a segmentation fault in PROJ.
348
349* Build system:
350
351  + The GDAL library is now required to build Survex.
352
353  + (Microsoft Windows version): The probe for GL and GLU libraries now also
354    checks for Microsoft's non-standard library names.
355
356  + Correct configure --help output for --enable-werror for which the default
357    is actually "no" rather than "maintainer-mode".
358
359* testsuite:
360
361  + aven.tst: Skip a testcase when running on mingw as it seems to hang there.
362    We already skip this testcase on macos for what appears to be the same
363    problem.
364
365  + Fix comparison of output to work on platforms using DOS line endings.
366
367Changes in 1.4.8 (2024-04-23):
368
369* cavern:
370
371  + The warning for a compass reading on a plumbed leg was already suppressed
372    for a compass or backcompass reading of 0, but is now also suppressed for a
373    backcompass of 180° (or equivalent) which seems to be common in some Compass
374    datasets, but also seems sensible generally.  Thanks to Simeon Warner for
375    sharing some data which triggered such warnings.
376
377  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name is now also
378    emitted in the case where a name was used first for a station, and then as
379    a survey on an explicitly prefixed name.  Closes
380    https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4, reported by Thomas Holder.
381
382  + The error for when a survey and station use the same name now highlights
383    the problematic name within the line shown for context.
384
385  + Fix the reported token string reported by some errors with readings.  This
386    happened to work on at least x86-64 Linux, but the code was invalid and
387    failed on some architectures.
388
389* Fix to build with newer FFmpeg versions.
390
391* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now offers the choice to install
392  for just the current user, which allows installing Survex without admin
393  rights.
394
395* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix problems with valid coordinate systems being
396  rejected and aven's cavern log window not showing output.  Reported by
397  Peter Mašič, Špela Borko, Răzvan Dumbravă and detrito.  Thanks especially to
398  Špela Borko for a lot of testing to help track down the cause.
399
400Changes in 1.4.7 (2024-04-07):
401
402* cavern:
403
404  + When using *declination auto we report the range of calculated declinations
405    for each location specified.  After doing this we now reset the range
406    information we're tracking.  Previously we'd misreport the range for
407    the second and subsequent locations.
408
409  + Avoid undefined behaviour on handling filename fallback for filenames
410    containing non-ASCII characters.
411
412  + Show context line with relevant item highlighted for more errors and
413    warnings.
414
415  + The dynamic string handling routines are now more efficient.
416
417  + Fix memory leak if a Compass MAK file opens folders it doesn't close.
418
419  + Fix handling of clino-less legs in Compass DAT.  These would cause cavern
420    to fail with a lot of "NaN" messages.  Now they're treated as having a zero
421    clino with a standard deviation based on the leg length, just like in .svx
422    files.
423
424* img library:
425
426  + Compass PLT: Treat LRUD readings > 900 as omitted readings, which matches
427    what Compass does.  Thanks to Larry Fish for clarifying this.
428
429  + Avoid undefined behaviour after realloc().  We were adjusting a pointer
430    within the reallocated block by subtracting the old block address and
431    adding on the new one.  Technically this is undefined behaviour, although
432    in practice it seems likely it'll work and we've not seen misbehaviour due
433    to it.  However it's easy to avoid by calculating the offset before the
434    realloc().
435
436* Portability:
437
438  + Provide prototype for getopt() to avoid warnings with very recent compiler
439    versions.
440
441  + Avoid using sprintf(), which now triggers warnings on some platforms.
442
443* Build system:
444
445  + Add configure --enable-werror option to turn compiler warnings into errors.
446
447* Manual:
448
449  + Expand details of Compass MAK CRS support.
450
451  + Replace very out of date information about binary RPM packages.
452
453* Minor translation updates.
454
455* (Microsoft Windows version): Now uses PROJ 9.3.0 and ships all of the
456  ancillary files that PROJ comes with.  Hoping this fixes use of coordinate
457  system EPSG:3912 failing, which was reported by Peter Mašič but I've not
458  managed to reproduce.
459
460Changes in 1.4.6 (2024-03-07):
461
462* cavern:
463
464  + Workaround bug in PROJ < 9.3.0 with projected coordinate systems with
465    northing/easting axis order (such as EPSG:3042) which results in the grid
466    convergence being wrong by about 90°.  Reported by Patrick Warren on the
467    mailing list.
468
469  + If *declination auto was used before *cs out we would incorrectly calculate
470    the grid convergence as 0.  We now handle this case correctly by
471    calculating lazily when we first read a compass reading, and report an
472    error if the output coordinate system hasn't been set by then.
473
474  + When opening a file, cavern has fallback handling if the file isn't found
475    to help people processing datasets from platforms with case-insensitive
476    file systems.  Previously cavern would fold the filename to lowercase and
477    retry.  Now if this fails, it will also try the lower case version but
478    with the initial character of the leaf in upper case, and finally folding
479    the whole specified filename to upper case.
480
481  + Dynamically pick a suitable level separator character and store it in .3d
482    file, instead of it being hard-coded to '.' (we still use '.' unless it
483    has been *set as a "name" character, or for Compass DAT/MAK files unless it
484    has been used in a station name).  This is a step towards addressing the
485    situations raised by Thomas Holder in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/4
486    and https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/5 .
487
488  + Compass DAT files:
489
490    - The shot flag S is now understood to indicate a splay.
491
492    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
493      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
494      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
495      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
496      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
497      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
498
499    - Surveys which indicate a depth gauge was used for azimuth readings are
500      now marked as STYLE_DIVING in the 3d file.
501
502    - Compass and clino corrections are now implemented for backsights.
503
504    - The tape correction in Compass DAT files is now handled correctly.  The
505      specified value is in feet, but cavern was incorrectly treating it as
506      being in metres.
507
508    - We now handle the newer 15 character "FORMAT:" encoding.  Previously
509      cavern wouldn't detect when there were backsights in this case.
510
511    - We now treat survey date January 1st 1901 as "no date specified" since
512      this is the date Compass stores in this situation, and it seems very
513      unlikely to occur in real data.
514
515    - In Compass DAT files a dummy zero-length leg from a station to itself is
516      used to provide a place to specify LRUD for the start or end of a
517      traverse (depending if dimensions are measured at the from or to
518      station), and so we no longer issue a warning about equating a station to
519      itself for DAT files.
520
521  + Compass MAK files:
522
523    - The base location command is now understood.  This is how Compass
524      specifies a location to calculate magnetic declination at, and we
525      now handle this like Survex's native "*declination auto X Y Z".
526
527    - Survex uses the specified UTM zone and datum provided the combination can
528      be expressed as an EPSG code (lack of any EPSG codes for a datum suggests
529      it's obsolete; lack of a code for a particular datum+zone combination
530      suggests the zone is outside of the defined area of use of the datum).
531      Example Compass files we've seen use "North American 1927" outside of
532      where it's defined for use, presumably because some users fail to change
533      the datum from Compass' default.  To enable reading such files we return
534      a PROJ4 string of the form "+proj=utm ..." for "North American 1927" and
535      "North American 1983" for UTM zones which don't have an EPSG code.
536      Please let us know if support for additional cases which aren't currently
537      supported would be useful to you.
538
539    - Folder commands are now understood.
540
541    - Flag fixed stations as entrances.  Experimentation with Compass shows
542      this is how it treats them ("distance from entrance" in a .DAT file
543      counts from 0 at these points).
544
545  + We now support reading Compass CLP files.  These are very like DAT files,
546    except they contain loop-closed data.  You might find this useful if you
547    want to keep existing stations at the same adjusted positions Compass gave
548    (for example to be able to draw extensions on an existing drawn-up survey),
549    or if the original DAT file has been lost but you still have the CLP file.
550
551* aven:
552
553  + Fix OpenGL scaling on high DPI displays with wxWidgets 3.0. Reported by
554    Philip Balister.
555
556  + Split the filters for DAT and MAK files in the File->Open drop down list.
557    It seems more likely you'd want to see one type or the other, not both
558    together.
559
560* aven/survexport:
561
562  + Fix survey filtering when reading Compass PLT files.
563
564  + .json,.kml: Enable export of surface legs.  Currently surface and
565    underground legs aren't differentiated in these export formats when both
566    are enabled.
567
568  + .3d: The coordinate system is now set.
569
570  + .svg: Equated stations now get their correct names in the id attribute
571    of <circle> tags.  Previously one of the names would be repeated for
572    all of a set of equated stations.
573
574  + .plt:
575
576    - Anonymous stations previously resulted in an empty name in the PLT
577      file.  This isn't explicitly disallowed by the PLT format description,
578      but Compass' viewer gives an error for such lines.  Now we invent names
579      by encoding the station coordinates which should be unique.
580
581    - The S shot flag is now set for splays, and the P shot flag (hide from
582      plotting) is set for surface legs (which matches the use suggested in the
583      Compass docs).
584
585* img library:
586
587  + Fix bug handling timestamps before 1970.  In C signed integer division
588    rounds towards zero, which previously resulted in timestamps before 1970
589    getting rounded to the end of the day instead of the start when converting
590    them to a count of days so they'd be off by one day unless the time was
591    midnight.  This affected reading v3-v7 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION
592    set to 1 and writing v8 format 3d files with IMG_API_VERSION set to 0 (the
593    default).
594
595  + Improve Compass PLT support (many of these are Compass features added
596    since Survex's support for Compass was originally added):
597
598    - Survey dates are now handled fully.  We treat survey date January 1st
599      1901 as "no date specified" since this is the date Compass stores in this
600      situation, and it seems very unlikely to occur in real data.
601
602    - LRUD data is now translated to img_XSECT and img_XSECT_END.
603
604    - We now infer img_SFLAG_ENTRANCE for stations where the "Distance From
605      Entrance" field is present and zero.
606
607    - The shot flag L is now translated to img_FLAG_DUPLICATE.
608
609    - The shot flag S is now translated to img_FLAG_SPLAY.  A station at the
610      far end of a shot flagged S gets img_SFLAG_WALL set since the Compass PLT
611      format specification says:
612
613          The shot is a "splay" shot, which is a shot from a station to the
614          wall to define the passage shape.
615
616    - The shot flag P is now interpreted as marking surface data.  This flag
617      is described as "Exclude this shot from plotting", but the use suggested
618      in the Compass docs is for surface data, and legs flagged with it "[do]
619      not support passage modeling".  Even if it's actually being used for a
620      different purpose, Survex programs don't show surface legs by default so
621      the end effect is at least to not plot as intended.
622
623    - The d plot command is now supported (previously img failed to parse
624      PLT files using this command) - it's like D but implies the P shot flag.
625
626    - If a PLT file only uses one datum and it is "WGS 1984" then the UTM zone
627      is converted to the appropriate EPSG code and this is reported as the
628      coordinate system.  Other datums could be handled, but the mapping to
629      EPSG code is less simple.  Also it seems Compass supports at least
630      24 datums but it doesn't document all the strings it uses for them.
631      Files with multiple datums could be handled too, but we'd need to convert
632      coordinates to a common coordinate system in the img library, which would
633      need it to depend on PROJ.  Please let us know if support for more and/or
634      mixed datums would be useful to you.
635
636    - Duplicate img_LABEL items are no longer returned - this used to happen
637      for stations where more than two shots met within a single survey.
638
639    - We now infer img_SFLAG_EXPORTED for any station that appears in more
640      than one survey in the PLT file.
641
642    - We now set flag img_SFLAG_FIXED for any station which is listed as
643      a fixed point in the PLT file.
644
645    - If there's only one non-empty section name in a PLT file and we aren't
646      filtering by survey, we now report that section name as the title.  If
647      there are multiple different non-empty section names, we still report the
648      basename of the file as before.  If we're filtering by survey, we report
649      the comment for that survey as before.
650
651    - Fix bug handling PLT with omitted LRUD.  The format specification
652      documents that LRUD may be omitted, though it seems Compass never
653      actually omits it and at least some versions of Compass failed to handle
654      it being omitted too.
655
656* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.2.4 (was 3.1.6).
657
658* manual:
659
660  + Document Compass support in detail.
661
662  + Improve NATO mils example.
663
664* INSTALL:
665
666  + Add a link to the instructions for building from git.  Reported by Andrew
667    Northall in https://github.com/ojwb/survex/pull/13
668
669  + Document the requirement for a C99 compiler for building from source.
670    We made this a requirement in 1.4.2, but only noted it in NEWS.
671
672* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
673
674* Replace references to "libav" with "FFmpeg" since the libav project seems to
675  now be defunct, and we've always supported using either.
676
677* Update build system to eliminate use of obsolete autotools macros and drop
678  probes for features that we can safely assume now we require a C99 compiler
679  and workarounds for obsolete platforms.
680
681* Fix compilation warnings from newer compiler versions.
682
683Changes in 1.4.5 (2023-06-29):
684
685* aven: Fix rendering of crosses when drawn as sprites.  Reported by echarlie.
686
687* (macOS version): aven: Fix crash in export dialog.  Fixes #133, reported by
688  rixyane.  Thanks to Wookey for testing.
689
690* manual: Expand docs on connecting to Compass data.
691
692* Minor translation updates.
693
694Changes in 1.4.4 (2023-02-03):
695
696* aven: Fix red line in clino background to be grey (this was introduced in
697  1.4.3 and was a debugging change accidentally left in).
698
699* aven: Accept weird .3d files from Therion which have empty components in
700  station names.  That's not really valid by Survex's definition of station
701  names, but it's not very helpful to reject such files, so just disable the
702  checks that were rejecting this.
703
704  The result is empty entries in the survey tree, but I don't see what we can
705  really do that's better than that.
706
707  Reported by Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
708
709* aven: Make it more obvious you can enter a custom scale by adding a "..."
710  entry to the scale combobox - selecting this clears the value and gives focus
711  to the combo box text entry. This control has always supported clicking to
712  enter a custom scale, but there wasn't really any indication that this was
713  possible before.  Partly addresses #132, reported by Eric C. Landgraf.
714
715* aven: Force export window to resize when the export format is changed as
716  different controls are shown depending on the export format.
717
718* aven: Right-align tilt spin control value in print/export dialog to match the
719  bearing spin control.
720
721* aven,survexport: Add ability to export as Survex 3d which is useful as you
722  can filter to a subset of surveys, filter out splays, convert from other
723  formats the img library can read, etc.  This feature is a bit rough and ready
724  currently but please report issues.
725
726* dump3d: Add --legs option which converts MOVE and LINE to a single LEG line
727  per leg with the from and to coordinates.  Tools which parse dump3d output
728  should find this easier to process as it avoids having to track a "current
729  position".
730
731* Update manual to have a complete list of quantities which *calibrate accepts.
732  Reported by echarlie
733
734* cavern.tst: Fix testsuite to work with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set.
735
736Changes in 1.4.3 (2022-05-17):
737
738* aven: Much improved support for HiDPI monitors on all platforms.
739
740* aven: When started without a file make sure the window has focus so menu
741  accelerators and shortcuts work without clicking on the window.
742
743* aven,survexport: DXF export now puts splays in a separate layer and uses a
744  dotted linetype for them.  Patch from echarlie, see #60.
745
746* Improved survexport man page to include command line options and a short
747  note about DXF export.  Patch from echarlie.
748
749* Minor translation updates.
750
751* (Unix version): aven: Fix handling of EGL-based wxGLCanvas (which wxGTK 3.1.5
752  has).  Fix a build failure and don't force X11 (as the EGL-based wxGLCanvas
753  works on Wayland).
754
755* (MacOS version): aven: Fix hang on startup without a file.  Fixes #120,
756  reported by Enrico Fratnik.
757
758* (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.1.6 (was 3.0.5).
759
760* img library: Support reproducible builds which create .3d files by not
761  embedding a timestamp if environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set.
762  Requested by Martin Budaj.
763
764Changes in 1.4.2 (2022-02-25):
765
766* aven: Fix to be compatible with FFmpeg 5.0.
767
768* Improve docs for *cs and *declination.
769
770* cavern: Fix "*declination auto" not to crash when built with PROJ < 8.1.0.
771  Bug introduced in 1.4.0.
772
773* cavern: For each `*declination auto` command cavern now reports an "info"
774  message showing the range of calculated declination values and the dates at
775  which the ends of the range were obtained, and also the grid convergence
776  (which doesn't vary with time).  Fixes #92, reported by Rob Eavis.
777
778* cavern: If any of the N-S, E-W or U-D ranges includes an anonymous station
779  then also report the range in that direction excluding anonymous stations.
780  Patch from Thomas Holder.
781
782* cavern: The error from a bad `*cs custom` command now highlights the quoted
783  string properly.
784
785* cavern: "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" is now an
786  "info" rather than a "warning".  It's not really reporting a problem and the
787  ability to omit the coordinates is a deliberate feature.  It is useful for
788  the user to know where the "*fix" without coordinates is if they want to
789  change the survey to be in real coordinates, so an "info" diagnostic is a
790  good fit.  This also means aven will no longer stay on the log view after
791  processing a dataset which fixes without coordinates.
792
793* cavern: If "*fix" is used twice with no coordinates we no longer say
794  "FIX command with no coordinates - fixing at (0,0,0)" right before:
795
796  error: Already had FIX command with no coordinates for station "x"
797
798* cavern: Include errors in Compass .mak files now report the error in the line
799  where the included filename is actually specified.
800
801* cavern.tst: Add test coverage for warnings for *entrance and *export with
802  a station which doesn't exist otherwise.
803
804* aven/survexport: Change JSON export to be valid JSON.  This means the output
805  has changed incompatibly, but it wasn't valid JSON before which suggests
806  nobody was actually successfully using it. Fixes #128, reported by Pawczak.
807
808* aven.tst: Skip one testcase on macos as it seems to hang, at least when
809  running on the Continuous Integration system.
810
811* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now generated with a much
812  newer version of Innosetup.  This means Microsoft Windows Vista is now the
813  minimum supported version but 2000 and XP are both many years out of support
814  anyway.
815
816* (Microsoft Windows version): The coordinate system database for PROJ is
817  now included so "*cs" now works (broken since 1.4.0).
818
819* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
820
821* Building from source now requires a compiler with support for C99.  C99
822  seems to be universally supported by compilers now so we don't expect this to
823  inconvenience anyone.
824
825Changes in 1.4.1 (2021-11-08):
826
827* This release should work with any PROJ version >= 6.2.0.
828
829* cavern.tst: Fix to actually run tests when building outside the source
830  tree.  Previously files for testcases weren't found, and tests were skipped
831  with a warning, which lead to 1.4.0 being released with two failing testcase.
832  Fix to find the files, and make not finding them an error.
833
834* cavern.tst: Fix testcases gpxexport and require_fail which were failing
835  in 1.4.0.
836
837* 3dformat.htm: Document that coordinate system can be ESRI:<number>.
838
839Changes in 1.4.0 (2021-11-06):
840
841* New release series to mark that Survex now uses the new PROJ API, and
842  requires PROJ >= 7.2.0.  Survex 1.2.x will continue to support PROJ < 8
843  (and won't support newer PROJ versions).  Fixes #102, reported by Bas
844  Couwenberg.
845
846  Due to these changes, PROJ will now convert directly between coordinate
847  systems where it knows how to, instead of always converting via WGS84.
848  This means conversions may now be more accurate in some cases, and you may
849  notice station coordinates changing - these should be for the better.
850
851  Also, the vertical datum is now taken into account automatically, and
852  terrain data now aligns much better vertically with surveys.  Fixes #56.
853
854* aven: Clicking and holding the left mouse button on the compass or clino,
855  then (while still holding) clicking the right button no longer causes a
856  wxWidgets assertion to fail.  Reported by echarlie.
857
858* img library: Rewrite certain proj strings when reading 3d files for
859  better compatibility with newer PROJ versions, where use of proj
860  strings is strongly discouraged.
861
862  `+init=epsg:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `EPSG:`.
863
864  `+init=esri:` followed by a code number is rewritten to `ESRI:`.
865
866  The proj strings which cavern used to put in 3d files for UTM zones and
867  S-MERC are rewritten to `EPSG:` follow by the appropriate code number.
868
869* Also install survex.lang for gtksourceview 4. Fixes #125, reported by Martin
870  Green.
871
872* Fix missing data style in interleaved example in manual.  Reported by
873  echarlie.
874
875* Use jw from docbook-utils instead of sgmltools-lite to process the manual.
876  The sgmltools-lite homepage says it's no longer being developed, and suggests
877  docbook-tools (which Debian packages as docbook-utils) as a replacement.
878
879* doc/HACKING.htm: Update Debian packages to install
880
881* doc/HACKING.htm: Update details of setting up mingw cross-build environment.
882
883* Add simple tests for GPX and KML export.
884
885* Expand cavern testcase csbad.
886
887* cavern.tst: Parse warning/error counts more robustly.  Previously we'd get
888  confused if the final line just contained an integer, e.g. if we end listing
889  stations not attached to a fixed point.
890
891Changes in 1.2.45 (2021-03-09):
892
893* Avoid undefined signed shifts in 3d file handling.  Survex itself is only
894  affected on big-endian platforms (so most Linux machine, Microsoft Windows,
895  and current Macs are all OK), but this also affects the img library on all
896  platforms when used in standalone mode as it is in other programs.  Fixes
897  #119, reported by Matěj Plch.
898
899* aven:
900
901  + When reading cavern output for the log window, we need special handling
902    for the case when a chunk of output ends mid-way through a UTF-8
903    sequence.  Previously we lost the first byte of the sequence in this
904    case (and would then show it as an invalid character), but now it is
905    handled correctly.  In practice, most of the cavern log output is ASCII so
906    it's quite possible nobody's ever actually hit this.
907
908* testsuite:
909
910  + Suppress reports of leaks on exit from the LeakSanitiser debugging tool.
911    We know we don't release all memory explicitly on exit since doing so would
912    mean extra work for no reason as the OS reclaims all memory when the
913    process exits.
914
915* Convert OLDNEWS encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
916
917Changes in 1.2.44 (2021-02-10):
918
919* aven:
920
921  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.5 (was 3.0.4).
922
923* cavern:
924
925  * Add support for quadrant bearings (e.g. N30E).  Patch from echarlie.
926
927  * Report error if angle units are specified for passage dimension.
928    Previously "*units left degrees" and similar were incorrectly quietly
929    accepted.  Spotted by echarlie.
930
931  * Fix *data with no parameters to keep the current style and reset any state
932    as documented.  Previously it actually instead ignored any survey data
933    until the next *data command with parameters.
934
935  * Fix minor memory leak in *data.  We leaked a single memory allocation on
936    "*data default" or an invalid *data command.
937
938  * Improve test coverage.
939
940* survexport:
941
942  * The check for whether a format supported --elevation, --plan, --bearing and
943    --tilt was inverted.  Reported by echarlie.
944
945  * Fix reporting of export errors on Microsoft Windows.  Reported by Matic Di
946    Batista.
947
948* img library: Fix img_open() when used in other programs.  Patch from Thomas
949  Holder.
950
951* configure: Add wx-config-gtk3 to WX_CONFIG search for Arch Linux.  Patch
952  from Thomas Holder.
953
954* Improve documentation of interleaved data.  Most notably, we now document
955  that a blank line breaks the current traverse.
956
957* Fix typo in manual ('cypolar' -> 'cylpolar').  Patch from Wookey, fixes #117.
958
959* Chinese translation updates from Qingqing Li.
960
961* Russian translation updates from Vasily Vl. Suhachev.
962
963* French translation updates from Jean-Marc and from Wassil Janssen.
964
965* Bulgarian translation updates from Wassil Janssen
966
967Changes in 1.2.43 (2020-02-28):
968
969* cavern: Update to use v13 of the IGRF model for calculating declinations.
970  This was issued in December 2019 and should give slightly more accurate
971  declinations for surveys made since 2010.
972
973* aven:
974
975  + Fix colouring of "not in loop" when colouring by error.  1.2.42 introduced
976    a bug where surveys not in a loop were coloured as if they had zero error.
977    Fixes #111, reported by Bruce Mutton.
978
979  + Fix handling of grid in export.  The grid was always getting enabled
980    (probably since 1.2.8) even for formats which don't support exporting with
981    a grid.  This resulted in the bounding box being set wrongly for some
982    formats such as SVG, as reported by Richard Knapp on the mailing list.
983
984  + When showing errors processing the survey data we'd previously crash if
985    cavern incorrectly reported an error as being in a column off the end of
986    the line - now we just ignore the error column in this case.
987
988  + Support colouring by survey style ("normal", "diving", "nosurvey", etc).
989
990Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):
991
992* aven:
993
994  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.
995
996  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
997    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
998    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).
999
1000  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
1001    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
1002    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
1003    orientation.
1004
1005* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
1006  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
1007  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
1008  Richard Knapp.
1009
1010* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
1011  might still need to use them for.
1012
1013* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.
1014
1015* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.
1016
1017* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
1018  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
1019  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
1020  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.
1021
1022* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
1023  is now the recommended approach.
1024
1025Changes in 1.2.41 (2019-07-10):
1026
1027* aven:
1028
1029  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1030    of 1.2.39 and 1.2.40.  This is a recurrence of the same issue as affected
1031    1.2.33 - this time I've patched out the unnecessary check in wxWidgets
1032    which causes this problem so it shouldn't recur again.  Reported by
1033    Brian Clipstone.
1034
1035  + (macOS version): Add work around for crash on macOS 10.14 (not fully tested
1036    as I don't have access to a Mac).  Hopefully fixed #101, reported by floho.
1037
1038Changes in 1.2.40 (2019-07-04):
1039
1040* aven: Draw the measuring line ring with an even shape.  Previously the exact
1041  shape of the ring varied slightly depending on the exact coordinates, which
1042  could be visually distracting once you noticed it.
1043
1044* We were casting a function pointer with a bool return type to the same type
1045  but with a void return type.  In practice this probably works fine on most
1046  platforms, but it's undefined behaviour and also gives a compiler warning
1047  with some compilers.
1048
1049* Fix bug introduce in 1.2.39 with where the "esri" data file for PROJ is
1050  installed.
1051
1052Changes in 1.2.39 (2019-06-29):
1053
1054* Support versions 5.x and 6.x of the PROJ library we use for handling
1055  conversions between coordinate systems.  Reported by Bas Couwenberg
1056  in #102, by Richard Knapp in #103 and by Martin Sluka in email.
1057
1058* (Unix and Mac OS versions): When checking if something is a file or if it is
1059  a directory, we no longer treat a symlink as being neither, but instead
1060  return an answer based on what the symlink points to.
1061
1062* aven:
1063
1064  + Improve handling of hidden splay ends.  Previously, hidden splay ends still
1065    served as "targets" for snapping the mouse pointer to, and still got
1066    crosses when crosses were enabled.  We don't have a handy flag for "this is
1067    the outer end of a splay" and computing that on demand isn't so easy to do,
1068    so for now we use the "anonymous station" flag so at least these cases now
1069    behave properly for splays to anonymous stations (which is likely to be
1070    what people with huge numbers of splays from disto-x, etc are using).  This
1071    does mean that anonymous stations on continuation passages will incorrectly
1072    also be off when splays are hidden, but that seems an OK trade-off for now
1073    and a definite improvement over the previous situation.  The snapping of
1074    the mouse pointer was reported by Frank Tully in #105.
1075
1076  + Fix typo in export UI (CVS should be CSV).
1077
1078* Documentation:
1079
1080  + Add CSV to documented list of survexport output formats.
1081
1082  + Fix *declination syntax synopsis - "auto" is a literal string, not a
1083    placeholder.
1084
1085  + Update PROJ project name and website - the name is now "PROJ" (all caps and
1086    no ".4" suffix) and the website is now: https://proj.org/
1087
1088* Install gtksourceview-3.0 language file so .svx files now get syntax
1089  highlighting in gedit and other GtkSourceView-based editors.  Patch
1090  from Philip Withnall.  Fixes #98.
1091
1092* (Microsoft Windows version): The Survex installer doesn't uninstall the old
1093  version when you upgrade, but just overwrites it with the new version.  In
1094  1.2.35 cad3d.exe was replaced with survexport.exe, but a user upgrading from
1095  an older version would still have cad3d.exe from that old version.  We now
1096  remove any old cad3d.exe left over from a previous install in the same
1097  location to avoid confusion.
1098
1099* Add a few more message translations.
1100
1101* Fix warnings when built with a C++11 compiler.
1102
1103Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02):
1104
1105* cavern:
1106
1107  + Deprecate MILS as angular units.  Survex has long support MILS as an alias
1108    for GRADS.  However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which
1109    is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are
1110    several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in
1111    a full circle, not 400.  Reported by Andy Edwards.
1112
1113  + Fix segfault for *include "".  This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash.  It
1114    now reports "file not found" instead.
1115
1116  + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number.  This is cleaner, more robust and
1117    more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for
1118    "NaN" or "nan" in the result.
1119
1120* Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg.
1121
1122* Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0.  3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and
1123  should be easily available everywhere by now.  I'm no longer easily able to
1124  test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be
1125  removed.
1126
1127* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build
1128  environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag.  See
1129  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more
1130  information.  Patch from James Begley.
1131
1132Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):
1133
1134* aven:
1135
1136  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
1137    controllable.
1138
1139  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1140
1141  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
1142    Patch from Robert Jones.
1143
1144  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
1145    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
1146    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.
1147
1148  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
1149    code using FFmpeg 4.0.
1150
1151* cavern:
1152
1153  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
1154    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.
1155
1156  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
1157    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
1158    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
1159    go unnoticed.
1160
1161* survexport:
1162
1163  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
1164    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
1165    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.
1166
1167  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
1168    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
1169    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
1170    Stephen Crabtree.
1171
1172* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.
1173
1174* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
1175  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.
1176
1177* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
1178  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
1179  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
1180  therion's team command.
1181
1182Changes in 1.2.36 (2018-07-18):
1183
1184* aven:
1185
1186  + Add support for exporting as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
1187
1188  + Support exporting KML with altitude mode "clamp to ground".  In this mode,
1189    the altitude in the data is ignored and it's rendered on the surface of the
1190    terrain.  This is useful if your KML viewer renders the terrain as opaque
1191    so underground data isn't visible.  Rendering cave passages on the surface
1192    isn't great, but is better than not being able to see them at all.  This
1193    option may also be helpful if you want to see where to look on the surface
1194    for new entrances.
1195
1196  + Highlight surveys with a white loop as the mouse is moved over them in
1197    the survey tree.  This is akin to how we highlight a station with a
1198    white ring, and allows restoring "double-click survey in tree to zoom"
1199    which temporarily required a quadruple-click in 1.2.35.
1200
1201  + Only show checkboxes in the survey tree for surveys not stations.
1202
1203  + Fix wxWidgets assertion if the user tried to select additional surveys
1204    to show via the right-click menu.
1205
1206  + Fix multiple survey filtering when both a parent and child survey are
1207    selected.  In this case it makes most sense to show all child surveys of
1208    the parent, but we actually showed a slightly arbitrary subset of the
1209    child surveys of the parent.
1210
1211  + The checkbox area in the survey tree is now included in the area which
1212    is considered by mouse-over updates such as highlighting the station or
1213    survey.
1214
1215  + Fix display of double quotes in cavern log window (they were being replaced
1216    with control character 0x16 due to a typo in the code).
1217
1218  + Add shortcuts to buttons in cavern log window.
1219
1220  + Eliminate use of gluErrorString() function which eliminates some
1221    deprecation warnings when building on macOS.
1222
1223  + Reject multiple --survey command line options for now (only the last has
1224    been used for a long time, but now we actually support multiple survey
1225    filtering this matters more).
1226
1227* survexport:
1228
1229  + Report a useful error when trying to convert a .3d file without coordinate
1230    system information to GPS.  Reported by Mark Shinwell.
1231
1232  + Handle multiple redundant --survey command line options correctly.
1233
1234* dump3d: Report station flag "WALL", which was added in 1.2.7.
1235
1236* Minor translation updates.
1237
1238* Update manual for Microsoft Windows changes.
1239
1240* tests/: Add test coverage for warnings about suspect readings
1241
1242* Fix warning when compiling with clang.
1243
1244Changes in 1.2.35 (2018-07-03):
1245
1246* aven:
1247
1248  + Viewing can now be restricted to multiple surveys.  Use the right-button
1249    menu on a survey in the survey tree and select "Show" to enable checkboxes
1250    for that survey and all its siblings.  Only the selected surveys are shown
1251    on screen, printed and exported.
1252
1253  + Don't open a survey when its name is double clicked.  This was happening
1254    due to code added to "allow double-clicking to work on wxMSW >= 2.8.11".
1255    However, reverting that change still seems to allow double-clicking to work
1256    on both wxMSW and wxGTK, but fixes the unwanted additional opening of the
1257    survey.
1258
1259  + Pick initial survey scaling based on whichever of the window width or
1260    height gives the smaller scale.  Previously we always used the window
1261    width, which can result in parts of the cave being outside the initial
1262    view.  Reported by Wookey.
1263
1264  + Drop ability to specify a PROJ string in the export dialog.  This was added
1265    to allow exporting to formats such as GPX before we added support for
1266    specifying the projection in .svx files, and that support is now mature.
1267
1268  + DXF export now uses 2 decimal places (was 6) for the bounding box, for
1269    consistency with the precision used for coordinates.
1270
1271  + Fix handling of surface flag during export.  In formats which discriminate,
1272    legs could previously have got assigned the wrong status.
1273
1274  + Fix bug which probably prevented aven starting when OpenGL double buffering
1275    is unavailable.  This is unlikely to affect any common configurations.
1276
1277  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix loading of 3d files with non-ASCII
1278    filenames.  Issue reported by Matic.
1279
1280  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix incorrect display of some toolbar icons.
1281    Probably broken since 1.2.17.
1282
1283* survexport: New command-line export program which uses aven's export code.
1284  Replaces 3dtopos, cad3d and findentrances, since it can do all that these
1285  tools could do, plus much more.
1286
1287* Merge more Spanish i18n updates from Evaristo Quiroga.
1288
1289* Minor updates to various other translations.
1290
1291* img library:
1292
1293  + Now supports reading from and writing to an existing FILE*.
1294
1295  + Improve API documentation.
1296
1297* (Microsoft Windows version): Fix packaging to include wxWidgets translation
1298  files like it was supposed to, which fixes a few missing translations.  This
1299  was probably broken by changes in 1.2.8.  Reported by Evaristo Quiroga.
1300
1301* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop two options from explorer bindings.
1302  "Convert to DXF" and "Convert for hand plotting" have both been supported via
1303  aven for a while, and that's a more useful way to access them as you can
1304  control what gets exported.
1305
1306Changes in 1.2.34 (2018-03-24):
1307
1308* aven:
1309
1310  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error on startup in the pre-built version
1311    of 1.2.33.
1312
1313  + (Microsoft Windows version): Now using wxWidgets 3.0.4 (was 3.0.2).
1314
1315Changes in 1.2.33 (2018-03-22):
1316
1317* aven:
1318
1319  + Reliably disable scale bar in perspective view.  This is supposed to happen
1320    (because the scale across the screen varies in perspective view) but
1321    actually the scale bar stayed around until an update was forced for another
1322    reason.  Spotted thanks to Pedro Silva Pinto.
1323
1324  + Make "no date"/"not in loop" colour grey.  The white was a bit bright and
1325    made it harder to see the legs that had colours.  The grey now used is
1326    within the brightness range of the other colours.  Fixes #94, reported by
1327    Erin Lynch.
1328
1329  + Fix KML export - exporting both survey legs and station names resulted in a
1330    malformed KML file.  This bug was introduced in 1.2.30 when support for
1331    exporting passages and walls was added.  Reported by Erin Lynch in #90.
1332
1333  + Consistently use 2 decimal places for altitude in KML output.  Some places
1334    used 8 decimal places which is appropriate for lat and long, but clearly
1335    overkill for an altitude in metres and increases the file size
1336    unnecessarily.
1337
1338  + Right-align bearing widget in print/export dialog.  The change to allow the
1339    value to wrap round from 360 to 0 in 1.2.27 inadvertently made this control
1340    left-aligned (due to incorrect wxWidgets documentation of the default style
1341    for this control).
1342
1343  + (Unix version): Work around wxWidgets bug so that custom cursors work
1344    under GTK3.
1345
1346  + (Unix version): Update GTK version reporting - report GTK3, and don't
1347    bother to report subversions of GTK2 (it seems to be fairly arbitrary
1348    which subversions wxWidgets defines constants for).
1349
1350  + Update code to work without warnings when using wxWidgets 3.1.0 (the
1351    current development version).
1352
1353  + Make movie export code compatible with upcoming FFmpeg 3.5 release.
1354    It should still work with the older versions that worked before this
1355    change.  Reported by James Cowgill in https://bugs.debian.org/888334
1356
1357* cavern:
1358
1359  + Warn about 2 digit years.  We can't change the assumption that these are
1360    19xx without risking breaking existing datasets, but the further we get
1361    into this century, the more likely such an assumption is to catch someone
1362    out.  The warning can easily be quashed by explicitly adding the assumed
1363    "19".
1364
1365* The Spanish translation is now up to date once more, thanks to updates from
1366  Evaristo Quiroga.
1367
1368* Merge French translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1369
1370* Fix transposed German Northing and Easting labels.  Fixes #95, reported by
1371  milosch.
1372
1373* Fill in missing translations of "Easting", "Northing", "E" and "N" for
1374  Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Russian based on other existing
1375  translated messages.
1376
1377* Align .pos file headings better with columns of coordinates below for
1378  Indonesian and Polish.
1379
1380* Fix handling of the message string "error" before messages loaded.  If
1381  there's an error loading messages, we need this message to report it.
1382  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1383
1384* Fix a few compiler warnings.
1385
1386* img library: Fix extracting leaf survey name for survey title.  When there
1387  are three or more levels of survey, we were taking everything after the first
1388  dot rather than everything after the last dot.
1389
1390* Fix problems with testsuite on macOS:
1391
1392  + cavern.tst: Skip "ONELEG" testcase on case-insensitive filing systems
1393    - this test isn't meaningful unless the filing system is case-sensitive,
1394    but happens to fail if it isn't.
1395
1396  + cavern.tst: Workaround limitations of Apple's sed.
1397
1398  + aven.tst: Fix not to hang on macOS.
1399
1400  + smoke.tst: Remove aven testcases which duplicate those in aven.tst.
1401
1402* Clean up handling of support files in relocatable installs - this is now
1403  detected at run time on macOS.
1404
1405* Split out macOS Aven.app creation into a make rule so it can be easily used
1406  by the homebrew formula.
1407
1408* buildmacosx.sh:
1409
1410  + Fix when WX_CONFIG not specified - this was giving a confusing error like:
1411    ./buildmacosx.sh: line 163: --cc: command not found
1412
1413  + Use wxWidgets 3.0.4.
1414
1415* Stop checking wx-config --ldflags as this option was removed in wxWidgets 2.6
1416  and we currently require 2.8 or newer.
1417
1418Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
1419
1420* aven:
1421
1422  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
1423    and Anthony Day.
1424
1425  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
1426    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
1427    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1428    Erin Lynch in #89.
1429
1430  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
1431    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
1432    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
1433    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
1434    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
1435    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
1436    elevations.
1437
1438  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
1439    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
1440    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
1441
1442  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
1443    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
1444    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
1445    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
1446    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
1447    "on".
1448
1449  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
1450    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
1451
1452  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
1453    the display wouldn't update right away.
1454
1455* Manual:
1456
1457  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
1458
1459  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
1460
1461* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
1462  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
1463  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
1464  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
1465  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
1466
1467Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
1468
1469* aven:
1470
1471  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
1472    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
1473    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
1474
1475  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
1476    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
1477    before by others.
1478
1479  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
1480
1481  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
1482    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
1483    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
1484    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
1485    original change.
1486
1487  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
1488    which extends beyond the end of the line).
1489
1490  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
1491    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
1492
1493  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
1494
1495  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
1496
1497  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
1498    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
1499    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
1500    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
1501    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
1502    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
1503    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
1504
1505  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
1506    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
1507
1508  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
1509    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
1510    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
1511
1512  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
1513    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
1514    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
1515    much vertical range.
1516
1517  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
1518    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
1519    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
1520    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
1521    are drawn in this way.
1522
1523  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
1524    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
1525    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
1526    centre should be a single pixel.
1527
1528* cavern:
1529
1530  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
1531    entering passage data where there are side passages.
1532
1533  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
1534    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
1535
1536  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
1537    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
1538    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
1539    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
1540
1541  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
1542    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
1543    Reported by Erin Lynch.
1544
1545  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
1546    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
1547    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
1548    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
1549
1550  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
1551    other messages.
1552
1553* extend:
1554
1555  + Now runs a bit faster.
1556
1557  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
1558    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
1559    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
1560    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
1561    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
1562    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
1563    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
1564    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
1565    be handled better) most welcome.
1566
1567* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
1568
1569* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
1570
1571* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
1572  translations from therion.
1573
1574* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
1575  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
1576
1577* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
1578  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
1579  Footleg.
1580
1581* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
1582
1583* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
1584
1585Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
1586
1587* aven:
1588
1589  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
1590    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1591
1592  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
1593    Suggested by detrito.
1594
1595  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
1596    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
1597
1598  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
1599    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
1600
1601* Add man page for dump3d.
1602
1603Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
1604
1605* aven:
1606
1607  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
1608    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
1609
1610  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
1611    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1612
1613* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
1614  Lynch and "detrito".
1615
1616* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
1617  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
1618
1619Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
1620
1621* cavern:
1622
1623  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
1624    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
1625    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
1626    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
1627    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
1628
1629  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
1630
1631  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
1632
1633  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
1634    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
1635    degrees).
1636
1637* aven:
1638
1639  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
1640    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
1641    Day.
1642
1643  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
1644    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1645
1646  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
1647    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
1648
1649  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
1650    of the line in cavern log window.
1651
1652  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1653
1654  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
1655
1656  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
1657    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
1658    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
1659    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
1660    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
1661
1662  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
1663    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
1664    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
1665
1666  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
1667
1668  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
1669
1670  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
1671    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
1672    Atkinson and myself.
1673
1674  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
1675
1676  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
1677    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
1678    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
1679    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
1680    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
1681    survey.
1682
1683  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
1684    lines on my netbook.
1685
1686  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
1687    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
1688    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
1689
1690  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
1691    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
1692    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
1693    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
1694    glitches.
1695
1696  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
1697    we currently list, though slower to write.
1698
1699  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
1700    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
1701
1702  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
1703    warnings when building against a recent version.
1704
1705  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
1706    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
1707    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
1708    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
1709
1710  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
1711    movie export.
1712
1713  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
1714    export.
1715
1716* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
1717  James Begley.
1718
1719* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
1720  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
1721
1722* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
1723
1724* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
1725  messages get used automatically.
1726
1727* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
1728  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
1729
1730* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
1731
1732* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
1733
1734* Use https for more URLs which support it.
1735
1736Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
1737
1738* aven:
1739
1740  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
1741    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
1742    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
1743    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
1744    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
1745    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
1746    probably change in the future).
1747
1748  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
1749    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
1750    the survey tree root.
1751
1752  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
1753    the view was recentred).
1754
1755  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
1756    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
1757    wrong direction).
1758
1759  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
1760    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
1761    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
1762
1763  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
1764    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
1765    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
1766    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
1767
1768  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
1769    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
1770
1771  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
1772    addresses #60.
1773
1774  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
1775
1776  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
1777    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
1778    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
1779
1780  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
1781
1782  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
1783    360 or down past 0.
1784
1785  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
1786    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
1787    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
1788    real-valued ones.
1789
1790  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
1791    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
1792
1793  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
1794    Lynch.
1795
1796  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
1797
1798  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
1799    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
1800
1801  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
1802    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
1803    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
1804
1805  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
1806    should now work.
1807
1808* cavern:
1809
1810  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
1811
1812  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
1813    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
1814    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
1815
1816  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
1817    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
1818    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
1819
1820  + Fix check for end of version number array in *require.  We would check up
1821    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
1822    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
1823    issue.
1824
1825  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
1826    by patch from Colin Watson.
1827
1828  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
1829
1830* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
1831
1832* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
1833  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
1834
1835* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
1836  used in the same dataset.
1837
1838* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
1839  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
1840
1841* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
1842  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
1843  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
1844
1845* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
1846
1847Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
1848
1849* aven:
1850
1851  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
1852    cavern again.
1853
1854* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
1855  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
1856  location and use the same start menu folder.
1857
1858* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
1859  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
1860
1861* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
1862  by James Begley.
1863
1864Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
1865
1866* aven:
1867
1868  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
1869    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
1870    to address.
1871
1872  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
1873    over the survey tree.
1874
1875  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
1876
1877  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
1878    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
1879
1880  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
1881    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
1882    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
1883    encoded.
1884
1885  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
1886    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
1887    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
1888    terminals which do still support this.
1889
1890  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
1891    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
1892
1893* cavern:
1894
1895  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
1896    Edwards (see #78).
1897
1898  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
1899    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
1900    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
1901    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
1902
1903  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
1904    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
1905    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
1906
1907  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
1908    from Pete Smart (see #69).
1909
1910* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
1911  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
1912  Black.
1913
1914* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
1915
1916* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
1917  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
1918  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
1919  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
1920  Black.
1921
1922* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
1923  Black.
1924
1925* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
1926
1927* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
1928
1929* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
1930
1931* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
1932
1933* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
1934
1935* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
1936  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
1937
1938* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
1939  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
1940  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
1941
1942* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
1943  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
1944  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
1945  privileges or not.
1946
1947Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
1948
1949* aven:
1950
1951  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
1952    Clipstone.
1953
1954  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
1955    Reported by Jenny Black.
1956
1957  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
1958    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
1959    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
1960
1961  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
1962    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
1963    messages.
1964
1965  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
1966    the terminal in 1.2.23.
1967
1968* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
1969  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
1970
1971* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
1972
1973* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
1974  by Wookey.
1975
1976Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
1977
1978* aven:
1979
1980  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
1981    machines.
1982
1983  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
1984
1985  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
1986    already being processed.
1987
1988  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
1989    Reported by Martin Green.
1990
1991  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
1992
1993* cavern:
1994
1995  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
1996    find the original survey notes).
1997
1998  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
1999    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
2000    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
2001    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
2002    progress display to be useful.
2003
2004* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
2005
2006* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
2007  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
2008
2009* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
2010  running cavern.
2011
2012* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
2013  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
2014  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
2015
2016Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
2017
2018* aven:
2019
2020  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
2021    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
2022    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
2023    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
2024    finding this fix.
2025
2026* cavern:
2027
2028  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
2029
2030  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
2031    station.
2032
2033  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
2034    *export.
2035
2036Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
2037
2038* aven:
2039
2040  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
2041    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
2042    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
2043
2044  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
2045
2046  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
2047    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
2048    does.
2049
2050  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
2051    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
2052
2053  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
2054    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
2055
2056  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
2057    as appropriate.
2058
2059  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
2060    values on Windows.
2061
2062* cavern:
2063
2064  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
2065    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
2066    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
2067
2068  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
2069    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
2070
2071  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
2072    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
2073    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
2074    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
2075
2076  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
2077    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
2078    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
2079    Atkinson.
2080
2081  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
2082    actual error rather than on a separate line.
2083
2084  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
2085    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
2086    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
2087    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
2088
2089  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
2090    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
2091    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
2092
2093* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
2094  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
2095  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
2096  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
2097
2098* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
2099
2100* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
2101  "*DECLINATION" command.
2102
2103* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
2104  Reported by Jenny Black.
2105
2106* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
2107  documentation.
2108
2109* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
2110  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
2111
2112* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
2113
2114* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
2115
2116Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
2117
2118* aven:
2119
2120  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
2121    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
2122    the same or very similar by default.
2123
2124  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
2125    Maynard.
2126
2127  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
2128
2129  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
2130
2131  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
2132    away.
2133
2134  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
2135
2136  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
2137    display it.
2138
2139* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
2140  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
2141  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
2142  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
2143
2144* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
2145
2146* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
2147  before 1.2.19.
2148
2149* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
2150  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
2151
2152* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
2153
2154* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
2155  disk image.
2156
2157* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
2158
2159* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
2160  libav features we don't use.
2161
2162* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
2163  a load of libav features we don't use.
2164
2165* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
2166  message in the installer.
2167
2168Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
2169
2170* aven:
2171
2172  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
2173    the exported file in 1.2.18.
2174
2175  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
2176
2177  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
2178    exit full screen mode.
2179
2180  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
2181    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
2182    using since 1.2.7).
2183
2184  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
2185    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
2186    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
2187    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
2188    St. Lawrence.
2189
2190  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
2191    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
2192
2193  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
2194    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
2195    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
2196
2197  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
2198    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
2199    case like we do on other platforms.
2200
2201  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
2202
2203  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
2204    support multi-monitor setups.
2205
2206  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
2207    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
2208
2209  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
2210    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
2211
2212  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
2213    cases.
2214
2215  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
2216    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
2217    Erin Lynch)
2218
2219  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
2220    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
2221    items in in so it uses the full width.
2222
2223  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
2224    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
2225    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
2226    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
2227    window.
2228
2229  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
2230    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
2231    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
2232    only relevant on the first ever run.
2233
2234* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
2235
2236* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
2237  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
2238  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
2239  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
2240  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
2241  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
2242
2243* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
2244  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
2245
2246Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
2247
2248* aven:
2249
2250  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
2251    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
2252    rendering it as a transparent surface.
2253
2254  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
2255    sanely want to perform from the menu.
2256
2257  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
2258    colouring options.
2259
2260  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
2261
2262  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
2263    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
2264    pressing "Escape".
2265
2266  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
2267    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
2268
2269  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
2270    exporting.
2271
2272  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
2273
2274  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
2275    is quite likely to change.
2276
2277  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
2278    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
2279
2280  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
2281    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
2282    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
2283
2284  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
2285
2286  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
2287    markers in orange.
2288
2289  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
2290    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
2291
2292  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
2293    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
2294    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
2295    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
2296    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
2297    them would be better.
2298
2299  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
2300    Gee.
2301
2302  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
2303    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
2304    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
2305
2306  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
2307
2308* cavern:
2309
2310  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
2311    susscorfa).
2312
2313  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
2314    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
2315
2316  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
2317
2318  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
2319    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
2320
2321  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
2322    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
2323
2324* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
2325
2326* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
2327  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
2328  in a modern desktop.
2329
2330* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
2331  the filename in the error message.
2332
2333* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
2334  most complete translations.
2335
2336* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
2337
2338* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
2339  lacks them.
2340
2341* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
2342
2343* Manual:
2344
2345  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
2346    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
2347
2348  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
2349
2350  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
2351
2352  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
2353    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
2354    available for download.
2355
2356* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
2357  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
2358  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
2359
2360* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2361
2362* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
2363
2364Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
2365
2366* MacOS X version:
2367
2368  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
2369
2370  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
2371
2372  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
2373
2374  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
2375
2376  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
2377    currently do this for us.
2378
2379  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
2380
2381  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
2382
2383  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
2384
2385  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
2386    OS X cursor.
2387
2388  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
2389    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
2390    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
2391    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
2392    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
2393    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
2394    with TextEdit.app for example).
2395
2396  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
2397    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
2398
2399  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
2400
2401  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
2402    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
2403
2404  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
2405    Riggs.
2406
2407  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
2408    space.
2409
2410  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
2411
2412  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
2413    10.10.1.
2414
2415  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
2416    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
2417    errors.
2418
2419  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
2420    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
2421    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
2422    wxWidgets build supports by default.
2423
2424  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
2425
2426* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
2427  treat as a single leg.
2428
2429* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
2430
2431* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
2432
2433* aven:
2434
2435  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
2436    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
2437
2438  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
2439    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
2440    1:500).
2441
2442  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
2443    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
2444    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
2445    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
2446
2447  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
2448    there rather than the two animations fighting.
2449
2450  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
2451    fast.
2452
2453  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
2454    when rotating).
2455
2456  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
2457    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
2458
2459* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
2460  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
2461
2462* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
2463
2464* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
2465
2466* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
2467
2468* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
2469
2470* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
2471  we're using git.
2472
2473* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
2474
2475  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
2476    compass.
2477
2478  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
2479
2480  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
2481
2482Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
2483
2484* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
2485
2486* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
2487
2488* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
2489
2490* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
2491  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
2492
2493* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
2494
2495* tests/: Improve test coverage.
2496
2497* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
2498  Greek and Polish.
2499
2500* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
2501  by Martin Sluka.
2502
2503* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
2504  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
2505
2506Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
2507
2508* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
2509  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
2510  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
2511  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
2512  for *cs has also been improved.
2513
2514* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
2515  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
2516  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
2517  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
2518
2519* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
2520  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
2521  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
2522  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
2523  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
2524
2525* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
2526  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
2527  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
2528
2529* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
2530
2531* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
2532
2533* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
2534  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
2535  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
2536
2537* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
2538  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
2539
2540Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
2541
2542* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
2543  system in use in 3d v8 files.
2544
2545* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
2546  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
2547  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
2548  export dialog.
2549
2550* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
2551  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
2552  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
2553  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
2554  rather than having one corner there.
2555
2556* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
2557  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
2558
2559* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
2560  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
2561
2562* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
2563  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
2564  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
2565
2566* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
2567  such as 64-bit Linux.
2568
2569* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
2570  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
2571
2572* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
2573  64-bit platforms.
2574
2575* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
2576  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
2577  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
2578
2579* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
2580  the space available in the aven UI.
2581
2582* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
2583  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
2584  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
2585
2586* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
2587  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
2588
2589* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
2590  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
2591  about unconnected surveys.
2592
2593* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
2594  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
2595
2596* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
2597  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
2598  freed memory.
2599
2600* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
2601
2602* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
2603
2604* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
2605
2606* Fix a compiler warning.
2607
2608* Improve test coverage.
2609
2610Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
2611
2612* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
2613  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
2614  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
2615
2616* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
2617  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
2618  Hugh St Lawrence.
2619
2620* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
2621  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
2622  with using aven on a touch screen device.
2623
2624* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
2625  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
2626
2627* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
2628  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
2629
2630* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
2631  off and back on.
2632
2633* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
2634  up time a little.
2635
2636* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
2637  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
2638
2639* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
2640  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
2641  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
2642  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
2643  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
2644  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
2645  situation too.
2646
2647* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
2648  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
2649  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
2650
2651* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
2652
2653* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
2654
2655* Minor translation updates to French.
2656
2657* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
2658
2659* Testsuite improvements:
2660
2661  + Test that "..." anon station works.
2662
2663  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
2664    fail and give an error count.
2665
2666  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
2667
2668Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
2669
2670* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
2671  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
2672  Clipstone.
2673
2674* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
2675
2676* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
2677
2678  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
2679    overlap the scale bar ticks.
2680
2681  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
2682    clipping the border in print preview.
2683
2684  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
2685
2686* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
2687  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
2688
2689* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
2690  available.
2691
2692* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
2693
2694* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
2695
2696* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
2697  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
2698
2699* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
2700  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
2701
2702* Various translation updates.
2703
2704Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
2705
2706* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
2707  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
2708
2709* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
2710  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
2711  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
2712  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
2713
2714* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
2715  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
2716
2717* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
2718  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
2719
2720* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
2721  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
2722
2723* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
2724  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2725
2726* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
2727  box".
2728
2729* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
2730
2731* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
2732  indicators.
2733
2734* aven: All length units are now translatable.
2735
2736* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
2737  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
2738  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
2739
2740* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
2741  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
2742  measurably slower.
2743
2744* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
2745  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
2746
2747* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
2748  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
2749
2750* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
2751  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
2752  from Therion and elsewhere.
2753
2754* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
2755  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
2756  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
2757
2758* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
2759  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
2760
2761* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
2762  A. Riggs for his work on this.
2763
2764* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
2765  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
2766
2767* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
2768
2769* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
2770  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
2771  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
2772  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
2773  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
2774  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
2775
2776* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
2777
2778Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
2779
2780* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
2781  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
2782  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
2783  Clipstone.
2784
2785* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
2786  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
2787
2788* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
2789  exported SVG files.
2790
2791* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
2792
2793* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
2794  file.
2795
2796* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
2797  GPX files.
2798
2799* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
2800
2801* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
2802  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
2803
2804* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
2805  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
2806  on startup.
2807
2808* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
2809
2810* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
2811  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
2812  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
2813  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
2814  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
2815  other extensions.
2816
2817* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
2818  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
2819  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
2820  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
2821  timezone wrong.
2822
2823* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
2824
2825* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
2826  'SURVEY DATE:'.
2827
2828* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
2829
2830* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
2831
2832* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
2833  enabled.
2834
2835Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
2836
2837* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
2838
2839* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
2840
2841* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
2842
2843* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
2844  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
2845  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
2846
2847* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
2848  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
2849  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
2850
2851* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
2852  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
2853
2854* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
2855
2856* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
2857
2858* Fix some compiler warnings.
2859
2860Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
2861
2862* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
2863  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
2864  Holder.
2865
2866* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
2867  statistics when the value gets large.
2868
2869* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
2870  equations.
2871
2872* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
2873  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
2874  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
2875  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
2876  better when the "View" box is hidden.
2877
2878* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
2879  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
2880
2881* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
2882  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
2883  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
2884  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
2885  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
2886  way is coming soon.
2887
2888* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
2889  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
2890
2891* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
2892  time ago, so update references.
2893
2894* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
2895  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
2896
2897* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
2898  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
2899
2900* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
2901  Sebastian Ramacher.
2902
2903* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
2904
2905* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
2906
2907* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
2908
2909* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
2910
2911* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
2912
2913* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
2914  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
2915  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
2916
2917* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
2918
2919* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
2920
2921* img library:
2922
2923  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
2924    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
2925    reading).
2926
2927  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
2928    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
2929
2930  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
2931    support these as an extension.
2932
2933  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
2934
2935* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
2936  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
2937  itself has any translations for.
2938
2939* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
2940
2941* Minor translation updates.
2942
2943* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
2944
2945Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
2946
2947* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
2948  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
2949  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
2950  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
2951  is an anonymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
2952  separator ('...' by default) is an anonymous point (with nothing special about
2953  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
2954  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
2955
2956* New version 8 of the 3d format:
2957
2958  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
2959
2960  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
2961    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
2962
2963  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
2964    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
2965
2966  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
2967
2968  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
2969    human-readable string.
2970
2971  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
2972    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
2973
2974* img library:
2975
2976  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
2977
2978  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
2979    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
2980
2981  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
2982    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
2983    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
2984    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
2985    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
2986    explicitly in the file.
2987
2988  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
2989
2990* aven:
2991
2992  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
2993    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
2994    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
2995    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
2996    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
2997    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
2998
2999  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
3000    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
3001    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
3002    queued up.
3003
3004  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
3005    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
3006
3007  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
3008    them like other legs.
3009
3010  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
3011    station names to positions.
3012
3013  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
3014    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
3015    wrongly.
3016
3017  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
3018
3019  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
3020    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
3021    that's used by the desktop).
3022
3023  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
3024
3025  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
3026    error from cavern.
3027
3028  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
3029
3030  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
3031    in the dialog in sync.
3032
3033* cavern:
3034
3035  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
3036    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
3037    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
3038
3039  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
3040    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
3041
3042  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
3043    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
3044    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
3045    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
3046    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
3047    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
3048    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
3049    degrees.
3050
3051  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
3052    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
3053    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
3054
3055  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
3056
3057  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
3058    warnings.
3059
3060  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
3061    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
3062
3063  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
3064    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
3065
3066  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
3067    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
3068    relevant.
3069
3070  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
3071    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
3072    the same line.
3073
3074  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
3075    "End of line not blank" error.
3076
3077  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
3078    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
3079
3080  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
3081    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
3082
3083  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
3084    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
3085    include that character in the token reported.
3086
3087  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
3088    first item.
3089
3090* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
3091
3092* dump3d:
3093
3094  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
3095    info from 3d files in scripts.
3096
3097  + Add --show-dates option.
3098
3099  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
3100
3101  + Report the data style of legs.
3102
3103  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
3104
3105  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
3106
3107* Test suite:
3108
3109  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
3110    expected output so it passes reliably.
3111
3112  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
3113    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
3114
3115  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
3116    for more.
3117
3118* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
3119  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
3120  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
3121
3122* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
3123  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
3124
3125* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
3126  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
3127
3128* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
3129  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
3130  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
3131  settings.
3132
3133* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
3134  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
3135  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
3136  set correctly.
3137
3138* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
3139  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
3140  them to translate.
3141
3142* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
3143  close to complete.
3144
3145* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
3146
3147* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
3148
3149* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
3150
3151Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
3152
3153* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
3154
3155* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
3156  package (ticket#35).
3157
3158* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
3159  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
3160  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
3161
3162* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
3163  Kahler.
3164
3165* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
3166  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
3167  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
3168  libproj and build survex with:
3169
3170      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3171      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
3172
3173* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
3174
3175* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
3176
3177* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
3178  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
3179  file".
3180
3181Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
3182
3183* aven:
3184
3185  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
3186
3187  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
3188    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
3189
3190  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
3191
3192  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
3193
3194  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
3195    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
3196
3197* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
3198  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
3199  error early on).
3200
3201* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
3202  the man page source as well as in the filename.
3203
3204Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
3205
3206* aven:
3207
3208  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
3209    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
3210    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
3211    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
3212
3213  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
3214    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
3215
3216  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
3217
3218  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
3219
3220  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
3221
3222* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
3223
3224Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
3225
3226* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
3227
3228* (Mac OS X version):
3229
3230  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
3231
3232  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
3233
3234  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
3235    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
3236
3237  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
3238
3239* aven:
3240
3241  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
3242
3243  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
3244
3245    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
3246      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
3247      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
3248      character.
3249
3250    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
3251      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
3252      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
3253      and two in a few cases.
3254
3255    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
3256      8 pixels.
3257
3258  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
3259    draw crosses.
3260
3261  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
3262    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
3263    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
3264    is the start or end of a tube.
3265
3266  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
3267    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
3268
3269  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
3270    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
3271    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
3272
3273* extend:
3274
3275  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
3276
3277  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
3278    which means "no info").
3279
3280* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
3281  was no longer used - it certainly is!
3282
3283* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
3284  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
3285  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
3286  current character set.
3287
3288* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
3289
3290* Test suite:
3291
3292  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
3293
3294  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
3295
3296Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
3297
3298* aven:
3299
3300  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
3301    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
3302    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
3303    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
3304    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
3305    usable format.
3306
3307  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
3308    files.  (ticket#26)
3309
3310  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
3311    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
3312
3313  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
3314    using lines.
3315
3316  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
3317    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
3318
3319  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
3320    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
3321    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
3322    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
3323
3324  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
3325    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
3326    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
3327
3328  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
3329    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
3330    in 1.2.1.
3331
3332Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
3333
3334* Translation updates for US English.
3335
3336* aven:
3337
3338  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
3339    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
3340
3341  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
3342
3343  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
3344    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
3345    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
3346    visually similar to the survey legs.
3347
3348  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
3349    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
3350
3351  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
3352    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
3353    does still provide some useful information).
3354
3355  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
3356    a depth band boundary.
3357
3358  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
3359    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
3360    full-screen mode).
3361
3362  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
3363    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
3364    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
3365    are a little better, though still not perfect.
3366
3367  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
3368    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
3369
3370  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
3371    that station.
3372
3373  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
3374    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
3375
3376  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
3377    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
3378    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
3379    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
3380    a case as it is a bug).
3381
3382  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
3383    invalidated on window width or height changes.
3384
3385  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
3386    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
3387    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
3388    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
3389
3390  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
3391    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
3392    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
3393    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
3394    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
3395    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
3396    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
3397
3398  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
3399    similarly for other compass points.
3400
3401  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
3402    info in the "About" dialog.
3403
3404  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
3405    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
3406
3407  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
3408    as well as still working with older versions.
3409
3410  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
3411    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
3412
3413  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
3414    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
3415    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
3416    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
3417    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
3418
3419  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
3420    nicer and make better use of the available space.
3421
3422  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
3423    dialog.
3424
3425  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
3426    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
3427
3428  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
3429    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
3430
3431  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
3432
3433  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
3434
3435  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
3436    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
3437    being pressed and toggle full screen.
3438
3439* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
3440  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
3441
3442* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
3443
3444* More messages are now available to be translated.
3445
3446* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
3447  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
3448
3449* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
3450
3451* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
3452  sudo for installing on Unix.
3453
3454* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
3455  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
3456
3457* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
3458  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
3459
3460* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
3461
3462Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
3463
3464* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
3465  English.
3466
3467* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
3468  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
3469  case.
3470
3471* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
3472  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
3473  these into Survex's .msg format.
3474
3475* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
3476  an actual command).
3477
3478* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
3479  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
3480  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
3481  recurrence of that).
3482
3483* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
3484  than /usr/doc/survex.
3485
3486* aven:
3487
3488  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
3489
3490  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
3491    nicer at larger sizes.
3492
3493  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
3494    with GLX >= 1.3.
3495
3496  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
3497
3498  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
3499    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
3500    required libraries set up for building releases.
3501
3502  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
3503
3504  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
3505
3506  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
3507    rendered with icons on some platforms.
3508
3509  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
3510    ISO8859-1).
3511
3512  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
3513    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
3514
3515  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
3516    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
3517
3518* cavern:
3519
3520  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
3521    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
3522    fatal error!
3523
3524  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
3525    format to output.  (ticket#21)
3526
3527* img library:
3528
3529  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
3530    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
3531
3532* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
3533  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
3534
3535Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
3536
3537* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
3538  Portuguese, and US English.
3539
3540* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
3541  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
3542
3543* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
3544  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
3545
3546* img.c:
3547
3548  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
3549
3550  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
3551
3552* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
3553
3554* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
3555  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
3556  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
3557  translated.
3558
3559Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
3560
3561* aven:
3562
3563  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
3564    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
3565
3566  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
3567    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
3568    addresses ticket#12.
3569
3570  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
3571    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
3572    consistent shape.
3573
3574  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
3575    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
3576    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
3577    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
3578
3579  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
3580    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
3581
3582  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
3583
3584  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
3585    more places.
3586
3587  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
3588    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
3589
3590* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
3591
3592* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
3593  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
3594
3595* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
3596
3597* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
3598  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
3599  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
3600  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
3601  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
3602  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
3603
3604* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
3605  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
3606  redirecting to it.
3607
3608* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
3609  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
3610  I/O).
3611
3612* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
3613  headers.
3614
3615* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
3616
3617* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
3618  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
3619
3620* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
3621
3622Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
3623
3624* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
3625
3626* aven:
3627
3628  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
3629    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
3630    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
3631    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
3632
3633  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
3634
3635  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
3636    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
3637    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
3638    a number.
3639
3640  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
3641    log window.
3642
3643  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
3644    various cases.
3645
3646  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
3647    (ticket#9)
3648
3649  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
3650    namespace with its own "Point" class.
3651
3652  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
3653    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
3654
3655  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
3656
3657  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
3658    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
3659
3660* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
3661  give them before.
3662
3663* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
3664  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
3665  point looking for them now.
3666
3667* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
3668  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
3669  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
3670  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
3671
3672* manual:
3673
3674  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
3675
3676  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
3677    (change taken from 1.0).
3678
3679* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
3680
3681Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
3682
3683* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
3684
3685* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
3686
3687* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
3688
3689* aven:
3690
3691  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
3692
3693  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
3694    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
3695    seem to be Unicode now).
3696
3697  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
3698    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
3699
3700  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
3701    text on the survey pane:
3702
3703    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
3704
3705    - Character spacing is improved.
3706
3707    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
3708
3709  + "About" dialog:
3710
3711    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
3712      bug reporting.
3713
3714    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
3715      modern gfx card.
3716
3717    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
3718
3719  + Processing .svx files:
3720
3721    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
3722
3723    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
3724      than opening a separate frame for it.
3725
3726    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
3727
3728    - Fix small memory leak.
3729
3730  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
3731    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
3732    such a name.
3733
3734  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
3735
3736  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
3737    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
3738    invocations.
3739
3740  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
3741
3742  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
3743
3744  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
3745
3746* Documentation:
3747
3748  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
3749
3750  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
3751    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
3752    together isn't very useful.
3753
3754  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
3755
3756  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
3757    the FSF website.
3758
3759  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
3760    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
3761    the source code.
3762
3763* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
3764  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
3765
3766* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
3767  package from the source tarball.
3768
3769* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
3770  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
3771
3772Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
3773
3774* aven:
3775
3776  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
3777
3778  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
3779
3780  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
3781    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
3782    names/crosses).
3783
3784Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
3785
3786* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
3787
3788* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
3789
3790* aven:
3791
3792  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
3793
3794  + Fix character spacing.
3795
3796  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
3797    proportional fonts.
3798
3799  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
3800    rather than the filename.
3801
3802  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
3803
3804  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
3805    depth colouring.
3806
3807  + Add "Colour by Error".
3808
3809  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
3810
3811  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
3812
3813  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
3814
3815  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
3816
3817  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
3818
3819  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
3820
3821  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
3822
3823  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
3824    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
3825
3826  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
3827
3828  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
3829    default.
3830
3831* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
3832  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
3833
3834* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
3835  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
3836
3837* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
3838
3839* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
3840
3841Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
3842
3843* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
3844  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
3845  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
3846  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
3847  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
3848
3849* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
3850  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
3851  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
3852
3853* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
3854  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
3855  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
3856
3857* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
3858  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
3859  allowed).
3860
3861* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
3862
3863* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3864
3865* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
3866
3867Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
3868
3869* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
3870  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
3871
3872* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
3873  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
3874  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
3875
3876* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
3877  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
3878  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
3879  the new "*data passage" style.
3880
3881* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
3882  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
3883
3884* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
3885  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
3886  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
3887  some cases.
3888
3889* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
3890  with no survey loaded.
3891
3892* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
3893
3894* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
3895  loaded a survey.
3896
3897* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
3898
3899* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
3900
3901* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
3902  doesn't exist.
3903
3904* Updated French and Italian translations.
3905
3906* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
3907  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
3908
3909* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
3910  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
3911  update their copy).
3912
3913* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
3914  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
3915  trying to compile).
3916
3917Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
3918
3919* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
3920  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
3921
3922* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
3923  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
3924  has been disabled.
3925
3926* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
3927  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
3928  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
3929  time.
3930
3931* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
3932  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
3933  highlighted stations.
3934
3935* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
3936
3937* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
3938  the tilt from plan to elevation.
3939
3940* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
3941  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
3942
3943* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
3944  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
3945  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
3946
3947* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
3948  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
3949
3950* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
3951
3952* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
3953
3954* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
3955
3956* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
3957  run by an unprivileged user.
3958
3959* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
3960  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
3961  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
3962
3963* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
3964  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
3965
3966* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
3967
3968* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
3969  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
3970
3971* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
3972  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
3973
3974* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
3975  if it isn't.
3976
3977* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
3978  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
3979
3980* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
3981  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
3982
3983* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
3984  reset to default view as well).
3985
3986* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
3987  empty.
3988
3989* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
3990  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
3991
3992* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
3993  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
3994  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
3995
3996* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
3997  and non-zero width lines.
3998
3999* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
4000  was turned on.
4001
4002* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
4003  not always being fully written.
4004
4005Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
4006
4007* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
4008  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
4009  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
4010  date near the middle of that period).
4011
4012* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
4013  with MS Windows).
4014
4015* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
4016  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
4017  several surveys in the same directory).
4018
4019* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
4020  our check for them to include that knowledge.
4021
4022* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
4023
4024* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
4025  moved off a station.
4026
4027* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
4028  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
4029
4030* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
4031
4032* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
4033  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
4034
4035* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
4036  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
4037  dialogs.
4038
4039* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
4040  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
4041
4042* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
4043  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
4044  introduced in 1.1.6).
4045
4046* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
4047  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
4048  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
4049
4050* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
4051  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
4052
4053* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
4054
4055* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
4056
4057Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
4058
4059* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
4060  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
4061
4062* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
4063  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
4064  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
4065  3d file.
4066
4067* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
4068
4069* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
4070
4071* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
4072  Instead turn off depth colouring.
4073
4074* aven: Export as HPGL added.
4075
4076* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
4077  Martin Green).
4078
4079* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
4080  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
4081  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
4082
4083* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
4084
4085* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
4086  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
4087
4088* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
4089  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
4090  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
4091  of everything else.
4092
4093* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
4094  presentation icons.
4095
4096* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
4097  keyboard focus there.
4098
4099* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
4100
4101* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
4102
4103* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
4104
4105* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
4106
4107* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
4108  language to use for messages.
4109
4110* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
4111  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
4112
4113* Removed old printer drivers.
4114
4115* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
4116  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
4117
4118Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
4119
4120* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
4121
4122* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
4123
4124* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
4125  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
4126
4127* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
4128  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
4129
4130* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
4131
4132* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
4133  underground legs is toggled.
4134
4135* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
4136  attached to the previous data.
4137
4138* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
4139  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
4140  them.
4141
4142Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
4143
4144* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
4145
4146* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
4147  continental European countries).
4148
4149* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
4150  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
4151  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
4152
4153* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
4154
4155* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
4156  they're needed.
4157
4158* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
4159
4160* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
4161
4162* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
4163
4164* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
4165  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
4166  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
4167
4168* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
4169
4170Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
4171
4172* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
4173
4174* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
4175
4176* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
4177
4178* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
4179
4180* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
4181
4182* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
4183
4184* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
4185  when there's a presentation loaded.
4186
4187* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
4188  in cave view.
4189
4190* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
4191
4192* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
4193  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
4194  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
4195
4196* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
4197  filename for file history and window title.
4198
4199* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
4200  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
4201  only needed with GTK1.2.
4202
4203* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
4204
4205* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
4206
4207* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
4208
4209* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
4210
4211Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
4212
4213* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
4214  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
4215  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
4216
4217* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
4218  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
4219
4220* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
4221  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
4222  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
4223  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
4224
4225* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
4226
4227* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
4228  with --help and --version.
4229
4230* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
4231  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
4232  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
4233  Fixed all these problems.
4234
4235* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
4236  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
4237  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
4238
4239* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
4240  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
4241  sources.
4242
4243* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
4244
4245* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
4246
4247* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
4248  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
4249
4250* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
4251  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
4252  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
4253  animating.
4254
4255* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
4256
4257* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
4258
4259* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
4260  to this branch.
4261
4262* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
4263
4264  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
4265
4266  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
4267
4268  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
4269
4270* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
4271
4272* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
4273  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
4274
4275* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
4276
4277* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
4278  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
4279
4280* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
4281
4282* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
4283  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
4284  for anyone building from CVS).
4285
4286* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
4287
4288* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
4289
4290* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
4291
4292* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
4293
4294* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
4295  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
4296  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
4297
4298* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
4299  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
4300
4301* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
4302
4303* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
4304  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
4305  loaded).
4306
4307* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
4308
4309Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
4310
4311* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
4312  startup.
4313
4314* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
4315  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
4316
4317Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
4318
4319* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
4320  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
4321  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
4322
4323* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
4324  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
4325  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
4326
4327* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
4328  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
4329  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
4330
4331* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
4332
4333* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
4334  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
4335
4336* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
4337  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
4338
4339* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
4340  better use of screen space.
4341
4342* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
4343
4344* aven: Perspective view.
4345
4346* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
4347
4348* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
4349  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
4350
4351* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
4352  and load/save/run them.
4353
4354* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
4355
4356* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
4357
4358* aven: Depth fogging option.
4359
4360* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
4361
4362* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
4363
4364* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
4365  showing the surface legs.
4366
4367* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
Note: See TracBrowser for help on using the repository browser.
