1Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
2
3* aven:
4
5  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
6    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
7    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
8
9  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
10
11  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
12    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
13    does.
14
15  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
16    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
17
18  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
19    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
20
21  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
22    as appropriate.
23
24  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
25    values on Windows.
26
27* cavern:
28
29  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
30    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
31    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
32
33  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
34    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
35
36  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
37    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
38    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
39    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
40
41  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
42    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
43    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
44    Atkinson.
45
46  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
47    actual error rather than on a separate line.
48
49  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
50    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
51    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
52    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
53
54  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
55    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
56    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
57
58* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
59  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
60  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
61  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
62
63* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
64
65* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
66  "*DECLINATION" command.
67
68* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
69  Reported by Jenny Black.
70
71* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
72  documentation.
73
74* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
75  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
76
77* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
78
79* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
80
81Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
82
83* aven:
84
85  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
86    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
87    the same or very similar by default.
88
89  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
90    Maynard.
91
92  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
93
94  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
95
96  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
97    away.
98
99  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
100
101  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
102    display it.
103
104* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
105  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
106  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
107  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
108
109* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
110
111* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
112  before 1.2.19.
113
114* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
115  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
116
117* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
118
119* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
120  disk image.
121
122* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
123
124* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
125  libav features we don't use.
126
127* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
128  a load of libav features we don't use.
129
130* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
131  message in the installer.
132
133Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
134
135* aven:
136
137  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
138    the exported file in 1.2.18.
139
140  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
141
142  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
143    exit full screen mode.
144
145  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
146    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
147    using since 1.2.7).
148
149  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
150    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
151    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
152    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
153    St. Lawrence.
154
155  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
156    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
157
158  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
159    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
160    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
161
162  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
163    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
164    case like we do on other platforms.
165
166  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
167
168  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
169    support multi-monitor setups.
170
171  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
172    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
173
174  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
175    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
176
177  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
178    cases.
179
180  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
181    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
182    Erin Lynch)
183
184  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
185    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
186    items in in so it uses the full width.
187
188  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
189    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
190    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
191    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
192    window.
193
194  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
195    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
196    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
197    only relevant on the first ever run.
198
199* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
200
201* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
202  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
203  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
204  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
205  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
206  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
207
208* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
209  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
210
211Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
212
213* aven:
214
215  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
216    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
217    rendering it as a transparent surface.
218
219  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
220    sanely want to perform from the menu.
221
222  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
223    colouring options.
224
225  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
226
227  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
228    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
229    pressing "Escape".
230
231  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
232    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
233
234  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
235    exporting.
236
237  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
238
239  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
240    is quite likely to change.
241
242  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
243    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
244
245  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
246    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
247    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
248
249  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
250
251  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
252    markers in orange.
253
254  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
255    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
256
257  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
258    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
259    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
260    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
261    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
262    them would be better.
263
264  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
265    Gee.
266
267  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
268    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
269    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
270
271  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
272
273* cavern:
274
275  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
276    susscorfa).
277
278  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
279    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
280
281  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
282
283  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
284    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
285
286  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
287    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
288
289* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
290
291* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
292  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
293  in a modern desktop.
294
295* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
296  the filename in the error message.
297
298* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
299  most complete translations.
300
301* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
302
303* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
304  lacks them.
305
306* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
307
308* Manual:
309
310  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
311    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
312
313  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
314
315  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
316
317  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
318    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
319    available for download.
320
321* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
322  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
323  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
324
325* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
326
327* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
328
329Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
330
331* MacOS X version:
332
333  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
334
335  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
336
337  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
338
339  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
340
341  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
342    currently do this for us.
343
344  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
345
346  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
347
348  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
349
350  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
351    OS X cursor.
352
353  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
354    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
355    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
356    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
357    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
358    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
359    with TextEdit.app for example).
360
361  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
362    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
363
364  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
365
366  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
367    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
368
369  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
370    Riggs.
371
372  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
373    space.
374
375  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
376
377  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
378    10.10.1.
379
380  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
381    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
382    errors.
383
384  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
385    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
386    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
387    wxWidgets build supports by default.
388
389  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
390
391* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
392  treat as a single leg.
393
394* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
395
396* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
397
398* aven:
399
400  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
401    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
402
403  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
404    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
405    1:500).
406
407  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
408    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
409    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
410    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
411
412  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
413    there rather than the two animations fighting.
414
415  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
416    fast.
417
418  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
419    when rotating).
420
421  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
422    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
423
424* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
425  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
426
427* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
428
429* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
430
431* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
432
433* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
434
435* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
436  we're using git.
437
438* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
439
440  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
441    compass.
442
443  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
444
445  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
446
447Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
448
449* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
450
451* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
452
453* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
454
455* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
456  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
457
458* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
459
460* tests/: Improve test coverage.
461
462* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
463  Greek and Polish.
464
465* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
466  by Martin Sluka.
467
468* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
469  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
470
471Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
472
473* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
474  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
475  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
476  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
477  for *cs has also been improved.
478
479* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
480  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
481  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
482  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
483
484* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
485  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
486  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
487  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
488  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
489
490* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
491  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
492  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
493
494* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
495
496* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
497
498* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
499  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
500  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
501
502* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
503  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
504
505Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
506
507* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
508  system in use in 3d v8 files.
509
510* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
511  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
512  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
513  export dialog.
514
515* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
516  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
517  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
518  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
519  rather than having one corner there.
520
521* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
522  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
523
524* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
525  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
526
527* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
528  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
529  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
530
531* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
532  such as 64-bit Linux.
533
534* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
535  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
536
537* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
538  64-bit platforms.
539
540* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
541  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
542  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
543
544* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
545  the space available in the aven UI.
546
547* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
548  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
549  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
550
551* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
552  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
553
554* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
555  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
556  about unconnected surveys.
557
558* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
559  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
560
561* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
562  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
563  freed memory.
564
565* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
566
567* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
568
569* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
570
571* Fix a compiler warning.
572
573* Improve test coverage.
574
575Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
576
577* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
578  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
579  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
580
581* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
582  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
583  Hugh St Lawrence.
584
585* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
586  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
587  with using aven on a touch screen device.
588
589* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
590  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
591
592* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
593  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
594
595* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
596  off and back on.
597
598* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
599  up time a little.
600
601* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
602  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
603
604* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
605  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
606  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
607  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
608  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
609  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
610  situation too.
611
612* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
613  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
614  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
615
616* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
617
618* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
619
620* Minor translation updates to French.
621
622* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
623
624* Testsuite improvements:
625
626  + Test that "..." anon station works.
627
628  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
629    fail and give an error count.
630
631  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
632
633Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
634
635* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
636  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
637  Clipstone.
638
639* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
640
641* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
642
643  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
644    overlap the scale bar ticks.
645
646  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
647    clipping the border in print preview.
648
649  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
650
651* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
652  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
653
654* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
655  available.
656
657* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
658
659* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
660
661* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
662  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
663
664* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
665  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
666
667* Various translation updates.
668
669Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
670
671* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
672  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
673
674* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
675  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
676  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
677  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
678
679* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
680  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
681
682* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
683  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
684
685* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
686  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
687
688* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
689  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
690
691* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
692  box".
693
694* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
695
696* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
697  indicators.
698
699* aven: All length units are now translatable.
700
701* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
702  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
703  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
704
705* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
706  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
707  measurably slower.
708
709* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
710  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
711
712* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
713  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
714
715* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
716  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
717  from Therion and elsewhere.
718
719* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
720  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
721  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
722
723* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
724  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
725
726* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
727  A. Riggs for his work on this.
728
729* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
730  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
731
732* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
733
734* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
735  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
736  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
737  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
738  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
739  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
740
741* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
742
743Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
744
745* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
746  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
747  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
748  Clipstone.
749
750* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
751  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
752
753* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
754  exported SVG files.
755
756* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
757
758* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
759  file.
760
761* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
762  GPX files.
763
764* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
765
766* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
767  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
768
769* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
770  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
771  on startup.
772
773* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
774
775* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
776  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
777  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
778  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
779  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
780  other extensions.
781
782* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
783  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
784  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
785  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
786  timezone wrong.
787
788* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
789
790* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
791  'SURVEY DATE:'.
792
793* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
794
795* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
796
797* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
798  enabled.
799
800Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
801
802* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
803
804* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
805
806* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
807
808* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
809  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
810  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
811
812* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
813  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
814  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
815
816* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
817  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
818
819* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
820
821* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
822
823* Fix some compiler warnings.
824
825Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
826
827* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
828  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
829  Holder.
830
831* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
832  statistics when the value gets large.
833
834* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
835  equations.
836
837* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
838  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
839  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
840  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
841  better when the "View" box is hidden.
842
843* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
844  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
845
846* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
847  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
848  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
849  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
850  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
851  way is coming soon.
852
853* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
854  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
855
856* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
857  time ago, so update references.
858
859* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
860  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
861
862* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
863  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
864
865* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
866  Sebastian Ramacher.
867
868* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
869
870* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
871
872* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
873
874* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
875
876* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
877
878* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
879  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
880  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
881
882* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
883
884* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
885
886* img library:
887
888  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
889    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
890    reading).
891
892  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
893    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
894
895  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
896    support these as an extension.
897
898  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
899
900* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
901  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
902  itself has any translations for.
903
904* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
905
906* Minor translation updates.
907
908* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
909
910Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
911
912* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
913  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
914  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
915  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
916  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
917  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
918  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
919  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
920
921* New version 8 of the 3d format:
922
923  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
924
925  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
926    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
927
928  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
929    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
930
931  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
932
933  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
934    human-readable string.
935
936  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
937    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
938
939* img library:
940
941  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
942
943  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
944    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
945
946  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
947    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
948    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
949    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
950    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
951    explicitly in the file.
952
953  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
954
955* aven:
956
957  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
958    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
959    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
960    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
961    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
962    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
963
964  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
965    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
966    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
967    queued up.
968
969  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
970    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
971
972  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
973    them like other legs.
974
975  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
976    station names to positions.
977
978  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
979    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
980    wrongly.
981
982  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
983
984  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
985    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
986    that's used by the desktop).
987
988  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
989
990  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
991    error from cavern.
992
993  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
994
995  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
996    in the dialog in sync.
997
998* cavern:
999
1000  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
1001    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
1002    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
1003
1004  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
1005    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
1006
1007  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
1008    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
1009    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
1010    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
1011    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
1012    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
1013    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
1014    degrees.
1015
1016  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
1017    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
1018    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
1019
1020  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
1021
1022  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
1023    warnings.
1024
1025  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
1026    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
1027
1028  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
1029    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
1030
1031  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
1032    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
1033    relevant.
1034
1035  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
1036    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
1037    the same line.
1038
1039  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
1040    "End of line not blank" error.
1041
1042  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
1043    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
1044
1045  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
1046    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
1047
1048  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
1049    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
1050    include that character in the token reported.
1051
1052  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
1053    first item.
1054
1055* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
1056
1057* dump3d:
1058
1059  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
1060    info from 3d files in scripts.
1061
1062  + Add --show-dates option.
1063
1064  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
1065
1066  + Report the data style of legs.
1067
1068  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
1069
1070  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
1071
1072* Test suite:
1073
1074  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
1075    expected output so it passes reliably.
1076
1077  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
1078    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
1079
1080  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
1081    for more.
1082
1083* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
1084  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
1085  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
1086
1087* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
1088  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
1089
1090* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
1091  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
1092
1093* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
1094  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
1095  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
1096  settings.
1097
1098* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
1099  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
1100  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
1101  set correctly.
1102
1103* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
1104  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
1105  them to translate.
1106
1107* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
1108  close to complete.
1109
1110* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
1111
1112* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
1113
1114* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
1115
1116Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
1117
1118* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
1119
1120* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
1121  package (ticket#35).
1122
1123* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
1124  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
1125  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
1126
1127* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
1128  Kahler.
1129
1130* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
1131  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
1132  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
1133  libproj and build survex with:
1134
1135      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1136      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1137
1138* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
1139
1140* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
1141
1142* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
1143  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
1144  file".
1145
1146Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
1147
1148* aven:
1149
1150  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
1151
1152  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
1153    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
1154
1155  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
1156
1157  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
1158
1159  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
1160    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
1161
1162* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
1163  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
1164  error early on).
1165
1166* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
1167  the man page source as well as in the filename.
1168
1169Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
1170
1171* aven:
1172
1173  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
1174    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
1175    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
1176    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
1177
1178  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
1179    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
1180
1181  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
1182
1183  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
1184
1185  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
1186
1187* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
1188
1189Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
1190
1191* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
1192
1193* (Mac OS X version):
1194
1195  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
1196
1197  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
1198
1199  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
1200    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
1201
1202  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
1203
1204* aven:
1205
1206  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
1207
1208  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
1209
1210    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
1211      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
1212      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
1213      character.
1214
1215    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
1216      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
1217      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
1218      and two in a few cases.
1219
1220    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
1221      8 pixels.
1222
1223  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
1224    draw crosses.
1225
1226  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
1227    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
1228    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
1229    is the start or end of a tube.
1230
1231  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
1232    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
1233
1234  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
1235    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
1236    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
1237
1238* extend:
1239
1240  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
1241
1242  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
1243    which means "no info").
1244
1245* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
1246  was no longer used - it certainly is!
1247
1248* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
1249  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
1250  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
1251  current character set.
1252
1253* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
1254
1255* Test suite:
1256
1257  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
1258
1259  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
1260
1261Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
1262
1263* aven:
1264
1265  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
1266    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
1267    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
1268    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
1269    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
1270    usable format.
1271
1272  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
1273    files.  (ticket#26)
1274
1275  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
1276    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
1277
1278  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
1279    using lines.
1280
1281  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
1282    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
1283
1284  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
1285    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
1286    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
1287    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
1288
1289  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
1290    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
1291    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
1292
1293  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
1294    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
1295    in 1.2.1.
1296
1297Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
1298
1299* Translation updates for US English.
1300
1301* aven:
1302
1303  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
1304    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
1305
1306  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
1307
1308  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
1309    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
1310    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
1311    visually similar to the survey legs.
1312
1313  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
1314    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
1315
1316  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
1317    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
1318    does still provide some useful information).
1319
1320  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
1321    a depth band boundary.
1322
1323  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
1324    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
1325    full-screen mode).
1326
1327  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
1328    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
1329    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
1330    are a little better, though still not perfect.
1331
1332  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
1333    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
1334
1335  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
1336    that station.
1337
1338  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
1339    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
1340
1341  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
1342    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
1343    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
1344    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
1345    a case as it is a bug).
1346
1347  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
1348    invalidated on window width or height changes.
1349
1350  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
1351    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
1352    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
1353    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
1354
1355  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
1356    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
1357    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
1358    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
1359    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
1360    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
1361    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
1362
1363  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
1364    similarly for other compass points.
1365
1366  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
1367    info in the "About" dialog.
1368
1369  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
1370    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
1371
1372  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
1373    as well as still working with older versions.
1374
1375  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
1376    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
1377
1378  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
1379    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
1380    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
1381    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
1382    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
1383
1384  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
1385    nicer and make better use of the available space.
1386
1387  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
1388    dialog.
1389
1390  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
1391    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
1392
1393  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
1394    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
1395
1396  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
1397
1398  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
1399
1400  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
1401    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
1402    being pressed and toggle full screen.
1403
1404* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
1405  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
1406
1407* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
1408
1409* More messages are now available to be translated.
1410
1411* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
1412  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
1413
1414* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
1415
1416* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
1417  sudo for installing on Unix.
1418
1419* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
1420  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
1421
1422* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
1423  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
1424
1425* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1426
1427Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
1428
1429* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
1430  English.
1431
1432* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
1433  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
1434  case.
1435
1436* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
1437  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
1438  these into Survex's .msg format.
1439
1440* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
1441  an actual command).
1442
1443* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
1444  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
1445  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
1446  recurrence of that).
1447
1448* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
1449  than /usr/doc/survex.
1450
1451* aven:
1452
1453  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
1454
1455  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
1456    nicer at larger sizes.
1457
1458  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
1459    with GLX >= 1.3.
1460
1461  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
1462
1463  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
1464    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
1465    required libraries set up for building releases.
1466
1467  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
1468
1469  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
1470
1471  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
1472    rendered with icons on some platforms.
1473
1474  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
1475    ISO8859-1).
1476
1477  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
1478    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
1479
1480  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
1481    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
1482
1483* cavern:
1484
1485  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
1486    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
1487    fatal error!
1488
1489  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
1490    format to output.  (ticket#21)
1491
1492* img library:
1493
1494  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
1495    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
1496
1497* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
1498  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
1499
1500Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
1501
1502* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
1503  Portuguese, and US English.
1504
1505* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
1506  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
1507
1508* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
1509  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
1510
1511* img.c:
1512
1513  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
1514
1515  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
1516
1517* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
1518
1519* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
1520  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
1521  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
1522  translated.
1523
1524Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
1525
1526* aven:
1527
1528  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
1529    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
1530
1531  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
1532    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
1533    addresses ticket#12.
1534
1535  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
1536    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
1537    consistent shape.
1538
1539  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
1540    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
1541    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
1542    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
1543
1544  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
1545    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
1546
1547  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
1548
1549  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
1550    more places.
1551
1552  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
1553    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
1554
1555* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
1556
1557* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
1558  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
1559
1560* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
1561
1562* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
1563  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
1564  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
1565  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
1566  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
1567  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
1568
1569* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
1570  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
1571  redirecting to it.
1572
1573* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
1574  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
1575  I/O).
1576
1577* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
1578  headers.
1579
1580* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
1581
1582* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
1583  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
1584
1585* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
1586
1587Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
1588
1589* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
1590
1591* aven:
1592
1593  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
1594    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
1595    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
1596    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
1597
1598  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
1599
1600  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
1601    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
1602    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
1603    a number.
1604
1605  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
1606    log window.
1607
1608  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
1609    various cases.
1610
1611  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
1612    (ticket#9)
1613
1614  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
1615    namespace with its own "Point" class.
1616
1617  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
1618    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
1619
1620  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
1621
1622  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
1623    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
1624
1625* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
1626  give them before.
1627
1628* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
1629  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
1630  point looking for them now.
1631
1632* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
1633  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
1634  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
1635  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
1636
1637* manual:
1638
1639  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
1640
1641  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
1642    (change taken from 1.0).
1643
1644* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
1645
1646Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
1647
1648* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
1649
1650* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
1651
1652* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
1653
1654* aven:
1655
1656  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
1657
1658  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
1659    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
1660    seem to be Unicode now).
1661
1662  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
1663    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
1664
1665  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
1666    text on the survey pane:
1667
1668    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
1669
1670    - Character spacing is improved.
1671
1672    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
1673
1674  + "About" dialog:
1675
1676    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
1677      bug reporting.
1678
1679    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
1680      modern gfx card.
1681
1682    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
1683
1684  + Processing .svx files:
1685
1686    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
1687
1688    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
1689      than opening a separate frame for it.
1690
1691    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
1692
1693    - Fix small memory leak.
1694
1695  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
1696    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
1697    such a name.
1698
1699  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
1700
1701  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
1702    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
1703    invocations.
1704
1705  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
1706
1707  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
1708
1709  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
1710
1711* Documentation:
1712
1713  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
1714
1715  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
1716    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
1717    together isn't very useful.
1718
1719  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
1720
1721  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
1722    the FSF website.
1723
1724  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
1725    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
1726    the source code.
1727
1728* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
1729  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
1730
1731* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
1732  package from the source tarball.
1733
1734* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
1735  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
1736
1737Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
1738
1739* aven:
1740
1741  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
1742
1743  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
1744
1745  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
1746    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
1747    names/crosses).
1748
1749Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
1750
1751* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
1752
1753* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
1754
1755* aven:
1756
1757  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
1758
1759  + Fix character spacing.
1760
1761  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
1762    proportional fonts.
1763
1764  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
1765    rather than the filename.
1766
1767  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
1768
1769  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
1770    depth colouring.
1771
1772  + Add "Colour by Error".
1773
1774  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
1775
1776  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
1777
1778  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
1779
1780  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
1781
1782  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
1783
1784  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
1785
1786  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
1787
1788  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
1789    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
1790
1791  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
1792
1793  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
1794    default.
1795
1796* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
1797  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
1798
1799* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
1800  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
1801
1802* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
1803
1804* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
1805
1806Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
1807
1808* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
1809  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
1810  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
1811  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
1812  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
1813
1814* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
1815  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
1816  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
1817
1818* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
1819  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
1820  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
1821
1822* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
1823  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
1824  allowed).
1825
1826* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
1827
1828* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1829
1830* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
1831
1832Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
1833
1834* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
1835  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
1836
1837* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
1838  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
1839  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
1840
1841* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
1842  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
1843  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
1844  the new "*data passage" style.
1845
1846* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
1847  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
1848
1849* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
1850  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
1851  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
1852  some cases.
1853
1854* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
1855  with no survey loaded.
1856
1857* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
1858
1859* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
1860  loaded a survey.
1861
1862* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
1863
1864* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
1865
1866* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
1867  doesn't exist.
1868
1869* Updated French and Italian translations.
1870
1871* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
1872  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
1873
1874* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
1875  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
1876  update their copy).
1877
1878* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
1879  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
1880  trying to compile).
1881
1882Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
1883
1884* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
1885  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
1886
1887* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
1888  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
1889  has been disabled.
1890
1891* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
1892  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
1893  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
1894  time.
1895
1896* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
1897  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
1898  highlighted stations.
1899
1900* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
1901
1902* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
1903  the tilt from plan to elevation.
1904
1905* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
1906  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
1907
1908* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
1909  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
1910  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
1911
1912* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
1913  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
1914
1915* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
1916
1917* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
1918
1919* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
1920
1921* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
1922  run by an unprivileged user.
1923
1924* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
1925  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
1926  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
1927
1928* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
1929  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
1930
1931* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
1932
1933* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
1934  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
1935
1936* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
1937  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
1938
1939* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
1940  if it isn't.
1941
1942* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
1943  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
1944
1945* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
1946  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
1947
1948* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
1949  reset to default view as well).
1950
1951* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
1952  empty.
1953
1954* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
1955  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
1956
1957* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
1958  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
1959  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
1960
1961* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
1962  and non-zero width lines.
1963
1964* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
1965  was turned on.
1966
1967* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
1968  not always being fully written.
1969
1970Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
1971
1972* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
1973  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
1974  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
1975  date near the middle of that period).
1976
1977* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
1978  with MS Windows).
1979
1980* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
1981  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
1982  several surveys in the same directory).
1983
1984* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
1985  our check for them to include that knowledge.
1986
1987* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
1988
1989* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
1990  moved off a station.
1991
1992* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
1993  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
1994
1995* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
1996
1997* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
1998  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
1999
2000* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
2001  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
2002  dialogs.
2003
2004* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
2005  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
2006
2007* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
2008  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
2009  introduced in 1.1.6).
2010
2011* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
2012  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
2013  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
2014
2015* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
2016  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
2017
2018* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
2019
2020* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
2021
2022Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
2023
2024* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
2025  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
2026
2027* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
2028  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
2029  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
2030  3d file.
2031
2032* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
2033
2034* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
2035
2036* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
2037  Instead turn off depth colouring.
2038
2039* aven: Export as HPGL added.
2040
2041* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
2042  Martin Green).
2043
2044* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
2045  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
2046  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
2047
2048* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
2049
2050* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
2051  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
2052
2053* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
2054  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
2055  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
2056  of everything else.
2057
2058* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
2059  presentation icons.
2060
2061* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
2062  keyboard focus there.
2063
2064* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
2065
2066* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
2067
2068* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
2069
2070* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
2071
2072* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
2073  language to use for messages.
2074
2075* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
2076  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
2077
2078* Removed old printer drivers.
2079
2080* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
2081  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
2082
2083Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
2084
2085* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
2086
2087* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
2088
2089* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
2090  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
2091
2092* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
2093  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
2094
2095* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
2096
2097* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
2098  underground legs is toggled.
2099
2100* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
2101  attached to the previous data.
2102
2103* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
2104  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
2105  them.
2106
2107Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
2108
2109* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
2110
2111* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
2112  continental European countries).
2113
2114* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
2115  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
2116  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
2117
2118* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
2119
2120* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
2121  they're needed.
2122
2123* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
2124
2125* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
2126
2127* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
2128
2129* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
2130  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
2131  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
2132
2133* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
2134
2135Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
2136
2137* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
2138
2139* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
2140
2141* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
2142
2143* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
2144
2145* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
2146
2147* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
2148
2149* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
2150  when there's a presentation loaded.
2151
2152* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
2153  in cave view.
2154
2155* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
2156
2157* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
2158  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
2159  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
2160
2161* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
2162  filename for file history and window title.
2163
2164* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
2165  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
2166  only needed with GTK1.2.
2167
2168* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
2169
2170* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
2171
2172* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
2173
2174* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
2175
2176Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
2177
2178* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
2179  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
2180  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
2181
2182* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
2183  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
2184
2185* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
2186  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
2187  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
2188  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
2189
2190* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
2191
2192* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
2193  with --help and --version.
2194
2195* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
2196  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
2197  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
2198  Fixed all these problems.
2199
2200* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
2201  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
2202  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
2203
2204* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
2205  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
2206  sources.
2207
2208* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
2209
2210* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
2211
2212* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
2213  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
2214
2215* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
2216  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
2217  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
2218  animating.
2219
2220* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
2221
2222* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
2223
2224* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
2225  to this branch.
2226
2227* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
2228
2229  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
2230
2231  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
2232
2233  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
2234
2235* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
2236
2237* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
2238  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
2239
2240* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
2241
2242* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
2243  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
2244
2245* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
2246
2247* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
2248  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
2249  for anyone building from CVS).
2250
2251* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
2252
2253* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
2254
2255* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
2256
2257* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
2258
2259* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
2260  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
2261  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
2262
2263* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
2264  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
2265
2266* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
2267
2268* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
2269  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
2270  loaded).
2271
2272* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
2273
2274Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
2275
2276* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
2277  startup.
2278
2279* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
2280  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
2281
2282Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
2283
2284* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
2285  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
2286  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
2287
2288* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
2289  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
2290  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
2291
2292* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
2293  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
2294  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
2295
2296* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
2297
2298* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
2299  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
2300
2301* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
2302  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
2303
2304* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
2305  better use of screen space.
2306
2307* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
2308
2309* aven: Perspective view.
2310
2311* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
2312
2313* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
2314  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
2315
2316* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
2317  and load/save/run them.
2318
2319* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
2320
2321* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
2322
2323* aven: Depth fogging option.
2324
2325* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
2326
2327* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
2328
2329* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
2330  showing the surface legs.
2331
2332* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
