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