3Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-05-29):
4
5* aven:
6
7  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
8    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
9    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
10    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
11    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
12    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
13    probably change in the future).
14
15  + Any currect sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
16    option or the new UI described above) is now shown in brackets after the
17    survey tree root.
18
19  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position rather
20    than recentring.
21
22  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
23    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
24    wrong direction).
25
26  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
27    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
28    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
29
30  + Check modifier keys when processing key presses.  If Shift, Control, Alt,
31    etc are pressed along with Function keys, Escape, Delete, Space, Return,
32    etc, then don't process the key press.  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
33
34  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
35    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
36
37  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.
38    Mostly addresses #60 (when enabled, splays just export as normal
39    legs but ought to be distinguished in formats which provide an
40    appropriate way to do so).
41
42  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
43    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
44
45Use utf8_str() instead of mb_str() to get UTF-8
46- user visible effect(s)?
47
48  + Update movie export code for compatibility with the ever shifting
49    libav/ffmpeg API (AVPicture and related functions are now deprecated).
50
51* cavern:
52
53  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
54
55  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
56    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
57    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
58
59  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
60    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
61    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
62
63  + Fix check for end of version number array in *required.   We would check up
64    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
65    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
66    issue.
67
68  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
69    by patch from Colin Watson.
70
71* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
72
73* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
74  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
75
76* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
77  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
78
79* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
80  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
81  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
82
83* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
84
85Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
86
87* aven:
88
89  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
90    cavern again.
91
92* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
93  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
94  location and use the same start menu folder.
95
96* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
97  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
98
99* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
100  by James Begley.
101
102Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
103
104* aven:
105
106  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
107    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
108    to address.
109
110  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
111    over the survey tree.
112
113  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
114
115  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
116    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
117
118  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
119    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
120    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
121    encoded.
122
123  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
124    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
125    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
126    terminals which do still support this.
127
128  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
129    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
130
131* cavern:
132
133  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
134    Edwards (see #78).
135
136  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
137    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
138    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
139    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
140
141  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
142    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
143    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
144
145  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
146    from Pete Smart (see #69).
147
148* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
149  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
150  Black.
151
152* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
153
154* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
155  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
156  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
157  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
158  Black.
159
160* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
161  Black.
162
163* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
164
165* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
166
167* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
168
169* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
170
171* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
172
173* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
174  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
175
176* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
177  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
178  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
179
180* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
181  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
182  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
183  privileges or not.
184
185Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
186
187* aven:
188
189  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
190    Clipstone.
191
192  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
193    Reported by Jenny Black.
194
195  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
196    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
197    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
198
199  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
200    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
201    messages.
202
203  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
204    the terminal in 1.2.23.
205
206* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
207  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
208
209* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
210
211* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
212  by Wookey.
213
214Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
215
216* aven:
217
218  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
219    machines.
220
221  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
222
223  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
224    already being processed.
225
226  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
227    Reported by Martin Green.
228
229  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
230
231* cavern:
232
233  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
234    find the original survey notes).
235
236  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
237    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
238    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
239    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
240    progress display to be useful.
241
242* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
243
244* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
245  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
246
247* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
248  running cavern.
249
250* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
251  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
252  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
253
254Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
255
256* aven:
257
258  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
259    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
260    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
261    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
262    finding this fix.
263
264* cavern:
265
266  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
267
268  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
269    station.
270
271  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
272    *export.
273
274Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
275
276* aven:
277
278  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
279    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
280    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
281
282  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
283
284  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
285    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
286    does.
287
288  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
289    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
290
291  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
292    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
293
294  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
295    as appropriate.
296
297  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
298    values on Windows.
299
300* cavern:
301
302  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
303    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
304    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
305
306  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
307    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
308
309  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
310    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
311    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
312    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
313
314  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
315    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
316    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
317    Atkinson.
318
319  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
320    actual error rather than on a separate line.
321
322  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
323    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
324    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
325    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
326
327  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
328    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
329    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
330
331* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
332  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
333  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
334  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
335
336* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
337
338* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
339  "*DECLINATION" command.
340
341* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
342  Reported by Jenny Black.
343
344* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
345  documentation.
346
347* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
348  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
349
350* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
351
352* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
353
354Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
355
356* aven:
357
358  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
359    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
360    the same or very similar by default.
361
362  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
363    Maynard.
364
365  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
366
367  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
368
369  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
370    away.
371
372  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
373
374  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
375    display it.
376
377* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
378  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
379  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
380  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
381
382* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
383
384* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
385  before 1.2.19.
386
387* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
388  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
389
390* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
391
392* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
393  disk image.
394
395* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
396
397* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
398  libav features we don't use.
399
400* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
401  a load of libav features we don't use.
402
403* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
404  message in the installer.
405
406Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
407
408* aven:
409
410  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
411    the exported file in 1.2.18.
412
413  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
414
415  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
416    exit full screen mode.
417
418  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
419    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
420    using since 1.2.7).
421
422  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
423    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
424    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
425    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
426    St. Lawrence.
427
428  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
429    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
430
431  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
432    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
433    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
434
435  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
436    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
437    case like we do on other platforms.
438
439  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
440
441  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
442    support multi-monitor setups.
443
444  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
445    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
446
447  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
448    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
449
450  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
451    cases.
452
453  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
454    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
455    Erin Lynch)
456
457  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
458    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
459    items in in so it uses the full width.
460
461  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
462    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
463    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
464    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
465    window.
466
467  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
468    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
469    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
470    only relevant on the first ever run.
471
472* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
473
474* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
475  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
476  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
477  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
478  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
479  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
480
481* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
482  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
483
484Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
485
486* aven:
487
488  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
489    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
490    rendering it as a transparent surface.
491
492  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
493    sanely want to perform from the menu.
494
495  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
496    colouring options.
497
498  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
499
500  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
501    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
502    pressing "Escape".
503
504  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
505    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
506
507  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
508    exporting.
509
510  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
511
512  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
513    is quite likely to change.
514
515  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
516    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
517
518  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
519    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
520    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
521
522  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
523
524  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
525    markers in orange.
526
527  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
528    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
529
530  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
531    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
532    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
533    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
534    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
535    them would be better.
536
537  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
538    Gee.
539
540  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
541    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
542    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
543
544  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
545
546* cavern:
547
548  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
549    susscorfa).
550
551  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
552    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
553
554  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
555
556  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
557    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
558
559  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
560    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
561
562* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
563
564* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
565  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
566  in a modern desktop.
567
568* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
569  the filename in the error message.
570
571* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
572  most complete translations.
573
574* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
575
576* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
577  lacks them.
578
579* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
580
581* Manual:
582
583  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
584    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
585
586  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
587
588  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
589
590  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
591    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
592    available for download.
593
594* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
595  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
596  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
597
598* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
599
600* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
601
602Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
603
604* MacOS X version:
605
606  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
607
608  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
609
610  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
611
612  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
613
614  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
615    currently do this for us.
616
617  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
618
619  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
620
621  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
622
623  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
624    OS X cursor.
625
626  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
627    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
628    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
629    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
630    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
631    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
632    with TextEdit.app for example).
633
634  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
635    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
636
637  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
638
639  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
640    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
641
642  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
643    Riggs.
644
645  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
646    space.
647
648  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
649
650  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
651    10.10.1.
652
653  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
654    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
655    errors.
656
657  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
658    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
659    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
660    wxWidgets build supports by default.
661
662  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
663
664* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
665  treat as a single leg.
666
667* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
668
669* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
670
671* aven:
672
673  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
674    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
675
676  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
677    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
678    1:500).
679
680  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
681    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
682    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
683    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
684
685  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
686    there rather than the two animations fighting.
687
688  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
689    fast.
690
691  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
692    when rotating).
693
694  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
695    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
696
697* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
698  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
699
700* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
701
702* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
703
704* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
705
706* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
707
708* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
709  we're using git.
710
711* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
712
713  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
714    compass.
715
716  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
717
718  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
719
720Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
721
722* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
723
724* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
725
726* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
727
728* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
729  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
730
731* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
732
733* tests/: Improve test coverage.
734
735* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
736  Greek and Polish.
737
738* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
739  by Martin Sluka.
740
741* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
742  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
743
744Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
745
746* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
747  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
748  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
749  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
750  for *cs has also been improved.
751
752* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
753  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
754  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
755  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
756
757* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
758  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
759  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
760  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
761  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
762
763* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
764  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
765  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
766
767* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
768
769* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
770
771* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
772  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
773  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
774
775* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
776  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
777
778Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
779
780* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
781  system in use in 3d v8 files.
782
783* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
784  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
785  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
786  export dialog.
787
788* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
789  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
790  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
791  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
792  rather than having one corner there.
793
794* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
795  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
796
797* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
798  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
799
800* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
801  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
802  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
803
804* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
805  such as 64-bit Linux.
806
807* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
808  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
809
810* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
811  64-bit platforms.
812
813* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
814  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
815  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
816
817* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
818  the space available in the aven UI.
819
820* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
821  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
822  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
823
824* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
825  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
826
827* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
828  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
829  about unconnected surveys.
830
831* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
832  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
833
834* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
835  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
836  freed memory.
837
838* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
839
840* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
841
842* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
843
844* Fix a compiler warning.
845
846* Improve test coverage.
847
848Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
849
850* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
851  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
852  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
853
854* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
855  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
856  Hugh St Lawrence.
857
858* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
859  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
860  with using aven on a touch screen device.
861
862* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
863  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
864
865* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
866  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
867
868* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
869  off and back on.
870
871* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
872  up time a little.
873
874* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
875  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
876
877* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
878  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
879  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
880  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
881  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
882  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
883  situation too.
884
885* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
886  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
887  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
888
889* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
890
891* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
892
893* Minor translation updates to French.
894
895* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
896
897* Testsuite improvements:
898
899  + Test that "..." anon station works.
900
901  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
902    fail and give an error count.
903
904  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
905
906Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
907
908* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
909  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
910  Clipstone.
911
912* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
913
914* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
915
916  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
917    overlap the scale bar ticks.
918
919  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
920    clipping the border in print preview.
921
922  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
923
924* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
925  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
926
927* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
928  available.
929
930* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
931
932* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
933
934* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
935  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
936
937* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
938  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
939
940* Various translation updates.
941
942Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
943
944* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
945  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
946
947* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
948  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
949  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
950  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
951
952* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
953  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
954
955* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
956  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
957
958* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
959  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
960
961* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
962  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
963
964* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
965  box".
966
967* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
968
969* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
970  indicators.
971
972* aven: All length units are now translatable.
973
974* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
975  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
976  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
977
978* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
979  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
980  measurably slower.
981
982* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
983  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
984
985* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
986  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
987
988* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
989  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
990  from Therion and elsewhere.
991
992* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
993  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
994  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
995
996* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
997  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
998
999* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
1000  A. Riggs for his work on this.
1001
1002* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
1003  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
1004
1005* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
1006
1007* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
1008  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
1009  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
1010  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
1011  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
1012  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1013
1014* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
1015
1016Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
1017
1018* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
1019  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
1020  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
1021  Clipstone.
1022
1023* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
1024  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
1025
1026* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
1027  exported SVG files.
1028
1029* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
1030
1031* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
1032  file.
1033
1034* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
1035  GPX files.
1036
1037* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
1038
1039* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
1040  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
1041
1042* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
1043  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
1044  on startup.
1045
1046* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
1047
1048* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
1049  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
1050  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
1051  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
1052  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
1053  other extensions.
1054
1055* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
1056  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
1057  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
1058  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
1059  timezone wrong.
1060
1061* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
1062
1063* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
1064  'SURVEY DATE:'.
1065
1066* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
1067
1068* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
1069
1070* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
1071  enabled.
1072
1073Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
1074
1075* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
1076
1077* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
1078
1079* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
1080
1081* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
1082  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
1083  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
1084
1085* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
1086  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
1087  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
1088
1089* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
1090  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
1091
1092* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
1093
1094* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
1095
1096* Fix some compiler warnings.
1097
1098Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
1099
1100* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
1101  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
1102  Holder.
1103
1104* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
1105  statistics when the value gets large.
1106
1107* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
1108  equations.
1109
1110* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
1111  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
1112  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
1113  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
1114  better when the "View" box is hidden.
1115
1116* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
1117  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1118
1119* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
1120  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
1121  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
1122  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
1123  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
1124  way is coming soon.
1125
1126* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
1127  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
1128
1129* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
1130  time ago, so update references.
1131
1132* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
1133  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1134
1135* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
1136  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
1137
1138* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
1139  Sebastian Ramacher.
1140
1141* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
1142
1143* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
1144
1145* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
1146
1147* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
1148
1149* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
1150
1151* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
1152  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
1153  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
1154
1155* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
1156
1157* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
1158
1159* img library:
1160
1161  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
1162    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
1163    reading).
1164
1165  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
1166    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
1167
1168  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
1169    support these as an extension.
1170
1171  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
1172
1173* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
1174  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
1175  itself has any translations for.
1176
1177* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
1178
1179* Minor translation updates.
1180
1181* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
1182
1183Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
1184
1185* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
1186  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
1187  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
1188  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
1189  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
1190  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
1191  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
1192  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
1193
1194* New version 8 of the 3d format:
1195
1196  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
1197
1198  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
1199    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
1200
1201  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
1202    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
1203
1204  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
1205
1206  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
1207    human-readable string.
1208
1209  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
1210    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
1211
1212* img library:
1213
1214  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
1215
1216  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
1217    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
1218
1219  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
1220    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
1221    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
1222    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
1223    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
1224    explicitly in the file.
1225
1226  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
1227
1228* aven:
1229
1230  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
1231    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
1232    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
1233    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
1234    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
1235    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
1236
1237  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
1238    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
1239    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
1240    queued up.
1241
1242  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
1243    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
1244
1245  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
1246    them like other legs.
1247
1248  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
1249    station names to positions.
1250
1251  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
1252    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
1253    wrongly.
1254
1255  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
1256
1257  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
1258    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
1259    that's used by the desktop).
1260
1261  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
1262
1263  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
1264    error from cavern.
1265
1266  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
1267
1268  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
1269    in the dialog in sync.
1270
1271* cavern:
1272
1273  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
1274    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
1275    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
1276
1277  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
1278    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
1279
1280  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
1281    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
1282    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
1283    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
1284    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
1285    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
1286    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
1287    degrees.
1288
1289  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
1290    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
1291    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
1292
1293  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
1294
1295  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
1296    warnings.
1297
1298  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
1299    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
1300
1301  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
1302    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
1303
1304  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
1305    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
1306    relevant.
1307
1308  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
1309    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
1310    the same line.
1311
1312  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
1313    "End of line not blank" error.
1314
1315  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
1316    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
1317
1318  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
1319    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
1320
1321  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
1322    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
1323    include that character in the token reported.
1324
1325  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
1326    first item.
1327
1328* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
1329
1330* dump3d:
1331
1332  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
1333    info from 3d files in scripts.
1334
1335  + Add --show-dates option.
1336
1337  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
1338
1339  + Report the data style of legs.
1340
1341  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
1342
1343  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
1344
1345* Test suite:
1346
1347  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
1348    expected output so it passes reliably.
1349
1350  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
1351    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
1352
1353  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
1354    for more.
1355
1356* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
1357  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
1358  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
1359
1360* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
1361  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
1362
1363* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
1364  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
1365
1366* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
1367  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
1368  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
1369  settings.
1370
1371* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
1372  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
1373  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
1374  set correctly.
1375
1376* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
1377  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
1378  them to translate.
1379
1380* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
1381  close to complete.
1382
1383* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
1384
1385* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
1386
1387* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
1388
1389Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
1390
1391* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
1392
1393* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
1394  package (ticket#35).
1395
1396* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
1397  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
1398  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
1399
1400* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
1401  Kahler.
1402
1403* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
1404  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
1405  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
1406  libproj and build survex with:
1407
1408      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1409      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1410
1411* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
1412
1413* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
1414
1415* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
1416  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
1417  file".
1418
1419Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
1420
1421* aven:
1422
1423  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
1424
1425  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
1426    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
1427
1428  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
1429
1430  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
1431
1432  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
1433    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
1434
1435* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
1436  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
1437  error early on).
1438
1439* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
1440  the man page source as well as in the filename.
1441
1442Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
1443
1444* aven:
1445
1446  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
1447    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
1448    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
1449    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
1450
1451  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
1452    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
1453
1454  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
1455
1456  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
1457
1458  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
1459
1460* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
1461
1462Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
1463
1464* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
1465
1466* (Mac OS X version):
1467
1468  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
1469
1470  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
1471
1472  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
1473    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
1474
1475  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
1476
1477* aven:
1478
1479  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
1480
1481  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
1482
1483    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
1484      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
1485      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
1486      character.
1487
1488    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
1489      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
1490      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
1491      and two in a few cases.
1492
1493    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
1494      8 pixels.
1495
1496  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
1497    draw crosses.
1498
1499  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
1500    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
1501    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
1502    is the start or end of a tube.
1503
1504  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
1505    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
1506
1507  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
1508    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
1509    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
1510
1511* extend:
1512
1513  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
1514
1515  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
1516    which means "no info").
1517
1518* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
1519  was no longer used - it certainly is!
1520
1521* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
1522  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
1523  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
1524  current character set.
1525
1526* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
1527
1528* Test suite:
1529
1530  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
1531
1532  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
1533
1534Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
1535
1536* aven:
1537
1538  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
1539    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
1540    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
1541    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
1542    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
1543    usable format.
1544
1545  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
1546    files.  (ticket#26)
1547
1548  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
1549    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
1550
1551  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
1552    using lines.
1553
1554  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
1555    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
1556
1557  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
1558    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
1559    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
1560    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
1561
1562  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
1563    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
1564    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
1565
1566  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
1567    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
1568    in 1.2.1.
1569
1570Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
1571
1572* Translation updates for US English.
1573
1574* aven:
1575
1576  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
1577    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
1578
1579  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
1580
1581  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
1582    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
1583    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
1584    visually similar to the survey legs.
1585
1586  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
1587    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
1588
1589  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
1590    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
1591    does still provide some useful information).
1592
1593  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
1594    a depth band boundary.
1595
1596  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
1597    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
1598    full-screen mode).
1599
1600  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
1601    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
1602    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
1603    are a little better, though still not perfect.
1604
1605  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
1606    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
1607
1608  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
1609    that station.
1610
1611  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
1612    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
1613
1614  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
1615    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
1616    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
1617    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
1618    a case as it is a bug).
1619
1620  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
1621    invalidated on window width or height changes.
1622
1623  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
1624    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
1625    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
1626    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
1627
1628  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
1629    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
1630    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
1631    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
1632    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
1633    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
1634    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
1635
1636  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
1637    similarly for other compass points.
1638
1639  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
1640    info in the "About" dialog.
1641
1642  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
1643    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
1644
1645  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
1646    as well as still working with older versions.
1647
1648  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
1649    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
1650
1651  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
1652    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
1653    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
1654    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
1655    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
1656
1657  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
1658    nicer and make better use of the available space.
1659
1660  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
1661    dialog.
1662
1663  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
1664    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
1665
1666  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
1667    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
1668
1669  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
1670
1671  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
1672
1673  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
1674    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
1675    being pressed and toggle full screen.
1676
1677* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
1678  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
1679
1680* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
1681
1682* More messages are now available to be translated.
1683
1684* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
1685  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
1686
1687* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
1688
1689* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
1690  sudo for installing on Unix.
1691
1692* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
1693  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
1694
1695* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
1696  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
1697
1698* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
1699
1700Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
1701
1702* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
1703  English.
1704
1705* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
1706  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
1707  case.
1708
1709* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
1710  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
1711  these into Survex's .msg format.
1712
1713* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
1714  an actual command).
1715
1716* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
1717  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
1718  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
1719  recurrence of that).
1720
1721* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
1722  than /usr/doc/survex.
1723
1724* aven:
1725
1726  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
1727
1728  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
1729    nicer at larger sizes.
1730
1731  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
1732    with GLX >= 1.3.
1733
1734  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
1735
1736  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
1737    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
1738    required libraries set up for building releases.
1739
1740  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
1741
1742  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
1743
1744  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
1745    rendered with icons on some platforms.
1746
1747  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
1748    ISO8859-1).
1749
1750  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
1751    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
1752
1753  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
1754    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
1755
1756* cavern:
1757
1758  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
1759    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
1760    fatal error!
1761
1762  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
1763    format to output.  (ticket#21)
1764
1765* img library:
1766
1767  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
1768    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
1769
1770* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
1771  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
1772
1773Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
1774
1775* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
1776  Portuguese, and US English.
1777
1778* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
1779  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
1780
1781* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
1782  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
1783
1784* img.c:
1785
1786  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
1787
1788  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
1789
1790* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
1791
1792* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
1793  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
1794  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
1795  translated.
1796
1797Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
1798
1799* aven:
1800
1801  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
1802    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
1803
1804  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
1805    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
1806    addresses ticket#12.
1807
1808  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
1809    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
1810    consistent shape.
1811
1812  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
1813    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
1814    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
1815    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
1816
1817  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
1818    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
1819
1820  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
1821
1822  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
1823    more places.
1824
1825  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
1826    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
1827
1828* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
1829
1830* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
1831  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
1832
1833* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
1834
1835* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
1836  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
1837  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
1838  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
1839  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
1840  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
1841
1842* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
1843  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
1844  redirecting to it.
1845
1846* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
1847  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
1848  I/O).
1849
1850* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
1851  headers.
1852
1853* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
1854
1855* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
1856  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
1857
1858* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
1859
1860Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
1861
1862* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
1863
1864* aven:
1865
1866  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
1867    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
1868    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
1869    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
1870
1871  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
1872
1873  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
1874    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
1875    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
1876    a number.
1877
1878  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
1879    log window.
1880
1881  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
1882    various cases.
1883
1884  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
1885    (ticket#9)
1886
1887  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
1888    namespace with its own "Point" class.
1889
1890  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
1891    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
1892
1893  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
1894
1895  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
1896    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
1897
1898* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
1899  give them before.
1900
1901* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
1902  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
1903  point looking for them now.
1904
1905* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
1906  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
1907  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
1908  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
1909
1910* manual:
1911
1912  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
1913
1914  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
1915    (change taken from 1.0).
1916
1917* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
1918
1919Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
1920
1921* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
1922
1923* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
1924
1925* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
1926
1927* aven:
1928
1929  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
1930
1931  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
1932    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
1933    seem to be Unicode now).
1934
1935  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
1936    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
1937
1938  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
1939    text on the survey pane:
1940
1941    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
1942
1943    - Character spacing is improved.
1944
1945    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
1946
1947  + "About" dialog:
1948
1949    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
1950      bug reporting.
1951
1952    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
1953      modern gfx card.
1954
1955    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
1956
1957  + Processing .svx files:
1958
1959    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
1960
1961    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
1962      than opening a separate frame for it.
1963
1964    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
1965
1966    - Fix small memory leak.
1967
1968  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
1969    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
1970    such a name.
1971
1972  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
1973
1974  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
1975    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
1976    invocations.
1977
1978  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
1979
1980  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
1981
1982  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
1983
1984* Documentation:
1985
1986  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
1987
1988  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
1989    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
1990    together isn't very useful.
1991
1992  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
1993
1994  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
1995    the FSF website.
1996
1997  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
1998    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
1999    the source code.
2000
2001* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
2002  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
2003
2004* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
2005  package from the source tarball.
2006
2007* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
2008  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
2009
2010Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
2011
2012* aven:
2013
2014  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
2015
2016  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
2017
2018  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
2019    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
2020    names/crosses).
2021
2022Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
2023
2024* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
2025
2026* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
2027
2028* aven:
2029
2030  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
2031
2032  + Fix character spacing.
2033
2034  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
2035    proportional fonts.
2036
2037  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
2038    rather than the filename.
2039
2040  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
2041
2042  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
2043    depth colouring.
2044
2045  + Add "Colour by Error".
2046
2047  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
2048
2049  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
2050
2051  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
2052
2053  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
2054
2055  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
2056
2057  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
2058
2059  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
2060
2061  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
2062    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
2063
2064  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
2065
2066  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
2067    default.
2068
2069* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
2070  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
2071
2072* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
2073  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
2074
2075* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
2076
2077* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
2078
2079Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
2080
2081* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
2082  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
2083  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
2084  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
2085  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
2086
2087* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
2088  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
2089  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
2090
2091* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
2092  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
2093  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
2094
2095* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
2096  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
2097  allowed).
2098
2099* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
2100
2101* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
2102
2103* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
2104
2105Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
2106
2107* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
2108  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
2109
2110* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
2111  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
2112  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
2113
2114* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
2115  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
2116  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
2117  the new "*data passage" style.
2118
2119* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
2120  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
2121
2122* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
2123  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
2124  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
2125  some cases.
2126
2127* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
2128  with no survey loaded.
2129
2130* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
2131
2132* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
2133  loaded a survey.
2134
2135* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
2136
2137* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
2138
2139* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
2140  doesn't exist.
2141
2142* Updated French and Italian translations.
2143
2144* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
2145  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
2146
2147* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
2148  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
2149  update their copy).
2150
2151* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
2152  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
2153  trying to compile).
2154
2155Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
2156
2157* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
2158  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
2159
2160* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
2161  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
2162  has been disabled.
2163
2164* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
2165  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
2166  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
2167  time.
2168
2169* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
2170  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
2171  highlighted stations.
2172
2173* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
2174
2175* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
2176  the tilt from plan to elevation.
2177
2178* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
2179  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
2180
2181* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
2182  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
2183  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
2184
2185* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
2186  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
2187
2188* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
2189
2190* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
2191
2192* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
2193
2194* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
2195  run by an unprivileged user.
2196
2197* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
2198  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
2199  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
2200
2201* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
2202  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
2203
2204* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
2205
2206* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
2207  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
2208
2209* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
2210  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
2211
2212* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
2213  if it isn't.
2214
2215* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
2216  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
2217
2218* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
2219  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
2220
2221* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
2222  reset to default view as well).
2223
2224* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
2225  empty.
2226
2227* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
2228  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
2229
2230* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
2231  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
2232  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
2233
2234* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
2235  and non-zero width lines.
2236
2237* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
2238  was turned on.
2239
2240* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
2241  not always being fully written.
2242
2243Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
2244
2245* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
2246  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
2247  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
2248  date near the middle of that period).
2249
2250* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
2251  with MS Windows).
2252
2253* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
2254  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
2255  several surveys in the same directory).
2256
2257* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
2258  our check for them to include that knowledge.
2259
2260* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
2261
2262* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
2263  moved off a station.
2264
2265* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
2266  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
2267
2268* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
2269
2270* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
2271  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
2272
2273* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
2274  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
2275  dialogs.
2276
2277* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
2278  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
2279
2280* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
2281  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
2282  introduced in 1.1.6).
2283
2284* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
2285  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
2286  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
2287
2288* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
2289  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
2290
2291* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
2292
2293* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
2294
2295Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
2296
2297* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
2298  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
2299
2300* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
2301  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
2302  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
2303  3d file.
2304
2305* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
2306
2307* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
2308
2309* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
2310  Instead turn off depth colouring.
2311
2312* aven: Export as HPGL added.
2313
2314* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
2315  Martin Green).
2316
2317* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
2318  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
2319  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
2320
2321* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
2322
2323* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
2324  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
2325
2326* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
2327  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
2328  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
2329  of everything else.
2330
2331* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
2332  presentation icons.
2333
2334* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
2335  keyboard focus there.
2336
2337* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
2338
2339* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
2340
2341* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
2342
2343* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
2344
2345* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
2346  language to use for messages.
2347
2348* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
2349  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
2350
2351* Removed old printer drivers.
2352
2353* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
2354  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
2355
2356Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
2357
2358* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
2359
2360* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
2361
2362* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
2363  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
2364
2365* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
2366  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
2367
2368* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
2369
2370* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
2371  underground legs is toggled.
2372
2373* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
2374  attached to the previous data.
2375
2376* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
2377  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
2378  them.
2379
2380Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
2381
2382* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
2383
2384* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
2385  continental European countries).
2386
2387* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
2388  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
2389  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
2390
2391* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
2392
2393* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
2394  they're needed.
2395
2396* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
2397
2398* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
2399
2400* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
2401
2402* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
2403  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
2404  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
2405
2406* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
2407
2408Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
2409
2410* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
2411
2412* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
2413
2414* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
2415
2416* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
2417
2418* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
2419
2420* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
2421
2422* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
2423  when there's a presentation loaded.
2424
2425* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
2426  in cave view.
2427
2428* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
2429
2430* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
2431  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
2432  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
2433
2434* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
2435  filename for file history and window title.
2436
2437* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
2438  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
2439  only needed with GTK1.2.
2440
2441* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
2442
2443* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
2444
2445* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
2446
2447* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
2448
2449Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
2450
2451* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
2452  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
2453  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
2454
2455* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
2456  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
2457
2458* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
2459  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
2460  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
2461  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
2462
2463* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
2464
2465* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
2466  with --help and --version.
2467
2468* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
2469  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
2470  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
2471  Fixed all these problems.
2472
2473* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
2474  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
2475  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
2476
2477* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
2478  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
2479  sources.
2480
2481* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
2482
2483* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
2484
2485* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
2486  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
2487
2488* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
2489  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
2490  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
2491  animating.
2492
2493* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
2494
2495* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
2496
2497* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
2498  to this branch.
2499
2500* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
2501
2502  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
2503
2504  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
2505
2506  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
2507
2508* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
2509
2510* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
2511  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
2512
2513* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
2514
2515* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
2516  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
2517
2518* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
2519
2520* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
2521  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
2522  for anyone building from CVS).
2523
2524* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
2525
2526* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
2527
2528* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
2529
2530* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
2531
2532* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
2533  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
2534  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
2535
2536* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
2537  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
2538
2539* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
2540
2541* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
2542  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
2543  loaded).
2544
2545* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
2546
2547Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
2548
2549* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
2550  startup.
2551
2552* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
2553  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
2554
2555Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
2556
2557* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
2558  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
2559  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
2560
2561* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
2562  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
2563  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
2564
2565* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
2566  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
2567  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
2568
2569* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
2570
2571* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
2572  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
2573
2574* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
2575  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
2576
2577* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
2578  better use of screen space.
2579
2580* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
2581
2582* aven: Perspective view.
2583
2584* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
2585
2586* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
2587  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
2588
2589* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
2590  and load/save/run them.
2591
2592* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
2593
2594* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
2595
2596* aven: Depth fogging option.
2597
2598* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
2599
2600* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
2601
2602* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
2603  showing the surface legs.
2604
2605* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
