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