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