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