1Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
2
3* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
4  Portuguese, and US English.
5
6* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
7  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
8
9* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
10  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
11
12* img.c:
13
14  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
15
16  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
17
18* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
19
20* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
21  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
22  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
23  translated.
24
25Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
26
27* aven:
28
29  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
30    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
31
32  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
33    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
34    addresses ticket#12.
35
36  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
37    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
38    consistent shape.
39
40  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
41    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
42    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
43    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
44
45  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
46    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
47
48  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
49
50  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
51    more places.
52
53  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
54    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
55
56* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
57
58* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
59  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
60
61* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
62
63* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
64  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
65  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
66  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
67  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
68  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
69
70* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
71  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
72  redirecting to it.
73
74* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
75  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
76  I/O).
77
78* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
79  headers.
80
81* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
82
83* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
84  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
85
86* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
87
88Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
89
90* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
91
92* aven:
93
94  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
95    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
96    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
97    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
98
99  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
100
101  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
102    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
103    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
104    a number.
105
106  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
107    log window.
108
109  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
110    various cases.
111
112  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
113    (ticket#9)
114
115  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
116    namespace with its own "Point" class.
117
118  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
119    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
120
121  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
122
123  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
124    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
125
126* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
127  give them before.
128
129* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
130  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
131  point looking for them now.
132
133* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
134  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
135  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
136  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
137
138* manual:
139
140  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
141
142  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
143    (change taken from 1.0).
144
145* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
146
147Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
148
149* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
150
151* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
152
153* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
154
155* aven:
156
157  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
158
159  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
160    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
161    seem to be Unicode now).
162
163  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
164    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
165
166  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
167    text on the survey pane:
168
169    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
170
171    - Character spacing is improved.
172
173    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
174
175  + "About" dialog:
176
177    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
178      bug reporting.
179
180    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
181      modern gfx card.
182
183    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
184
185  + Processing .svx files:
186
187    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
188
189    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
190      than opening a separate frame for it.
191
192    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
193
194    - Fix small memory leak.
195
196  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
197    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
198    such a name.
199
200  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
201
202  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
203    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
204    invocations.
205
206  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
207
208  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
209
210  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
211
212* Documentation:
213
214  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
215
216  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
217    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
218    together isn't very useful.
219
220  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
221
222  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
223    the FSF website.
224
225  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
226    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
227    the source code.
228
229* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
230  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
231
232* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
233  package from the source tarball.
234
235* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
236  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
237
238Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
239
240* aven:
241
242  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
243
244  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
245
246  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
247    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
248    names/crosses).
249
250Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
251
252* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
253
254* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
255
256* aven:
257
258  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
259
260  + Fix character spacing.
261
262  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
263    proportional fonts.
264
265  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
266    rather than the filename.
267
268  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
269
270  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
271    depth colouring.
272
273  + Add "Colour by Error".
274
275  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
276
277  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
278
279  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
280
281  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
282
283  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
284
285  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
286
287  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
288
289  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
290    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
291
292  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
293
294  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
295    default.
296
297* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
298  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
299
300* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
301  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
302
303* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
304
305* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
306
307Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
308
309* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
310  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
311  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
312  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
313  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
314
315* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
316  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
317  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
318
319* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
320  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
321  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
322
323* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
324  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
325  allowed).
326
327* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
328
329* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
330
331* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
332
333Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
334
335* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
336  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
337
338* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
339  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
340  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
341
342* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
343  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
344  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
345  the new "*data passage" style.
346
347* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
348  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
349
350* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
351  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
352  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
353  some cases.
354
355* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
356  with no survey loaded.
357
358* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
359
360* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
361  loaded a survey.
362
363* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
364
365* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
366
367* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
368  doesn't exist.
369
370* Updated French and Italian translations.
371
372* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
373  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
374
375* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
376  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
377  update their copy).
378
379* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
380  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
381  trying to compile).
382
383Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
384
385* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
386  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
387
388* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
389  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
390  has been disabled.
391
392* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
393  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
394  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
395  time.
396
397* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
398  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
399  highlighted stations.
400
401* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
402
403* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
404  the tilt from plan to elevation.
405
406* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
407  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
408
409* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
410  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
411  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
412
413* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
414  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
415
416* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
417
418* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
419
420* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
421
422* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
423  run by an unprivileged user.
424
425* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
426  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
427  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
428
429* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
430  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
431
432* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
433
434* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
435  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
436
437* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
438  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
439
440* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
441  if it isn't.
442
443* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
444  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
445
446* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
447  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
448
449* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
450  reset to default view as well).
451
452* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
453  empty.
454
455* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
456  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
457
458* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
459  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
460  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
461
462* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
463  and non-zero width lines.
464
465* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
466  was turned on.
467
468* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
469  not always being fully written.
470
471Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
472
473* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
474  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
475  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
476  date near the middle of that period).
477
478* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
479  with MS Windows).
480
481* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
482  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
483  several surveys in the same directory).
484
485* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
486  our check for them to include that knowledge.
487
488* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
489
490* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
491  moved off a station.
492
493* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
494  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
495
496* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
497
498* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
499  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
500
501* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
502  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
503  dialogs.
504
505* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
506  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
507
508* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
509  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
510  introduced in 1.1.6).
511
512* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
513  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
514  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
515
516* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
517  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
518
519* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
520
521* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
522
523Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
524
525* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
526  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
527
528* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
529  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
530  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
531  3d file.
532
533* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
534
535* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
536
537* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
538  Instead turn off depth colouring.
539
540* aven: Export as HPGL added.
541
542* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
543  Martin Green).
544
545* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
546  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
547  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
548
549* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
550
551* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
552  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
553
554* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
555  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
556  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
557  of everything else.
558
559* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
560  presentation icons.
561
562* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
563  keyboard focus there.
564
565* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
566
567* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
568
569* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
570
571* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
572
573* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
574  language to use for messages.
575
576* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
577  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
578
579* Removed old printer drivers.
580
581* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
582  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
583
584Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
585
586* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
587
588* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
589
590* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
591  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
592
593* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
594  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
595
596* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
597
598* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
599  underground legs is toggled.
600
601* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
602  attached to the previous data.
603
604* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
605  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
606  them.
607
608Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
609
610* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
611
612* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
613  continental European countries).
614
615* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
616  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
617  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
618
619* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
620
621* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
622  they're needed.
623
624* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
625
626* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
627
628* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
629
630* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
631  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
632  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
633
634* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
635
636Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
637
638* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
639
640* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
641
642* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
643
644* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
645
646* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
647
648* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
649
650* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
651  when there's a presentation loaded.
652
653* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
654  in cave view.
655
656* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
657
658* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
659  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
660  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
661
662* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
663  filename for file history and window title.
664
665* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
666  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
667  only needed with GTK1.2.
668
669* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
670
671* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
672
673* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
674
675* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
676
677Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
678
679* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
680  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
681  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
682
683* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
684  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
685
686* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
687  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
688  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
689  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
690
691* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
692
693* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
694  with --help and --version.
695
696* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
697  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
698  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
699  Fixed all these problems.
700
701* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
702  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
703  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
704
705* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
706  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
707  sources.
708
709* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
710
711* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
712
713* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
714  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
715
716* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
717  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
718  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
719  animating.
720
721* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
722
723* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
724
725* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
726  to this branch.
727
728* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
729
730  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
731
732  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
733
734  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
735
736* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
737
738* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
739  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
740
741* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
742
743* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
744  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
745
746* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
747
748* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
749  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
750  for anyone building from CVS).
751
752* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
753
754* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
755
756* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
757
758* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
759
760* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
761  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
762  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
763
764* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
765  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
766
767* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
768
769* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
770  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
771  loaded).
772
773* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
774
775Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
776
777* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
778  startup.
779
780* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
781  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
782
783Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
784
785* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
786  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
787  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
788
789* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
790  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
791  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
792
793* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
794  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
795  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
796
797* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
798
799* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
800  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
801
802* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
803  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
804
805* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
806  better use of screen space.
807
808* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
809
810* aven: Perspective view.
811
812* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
813
814* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
815  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
816
817* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
818  and load/save/run them.
819
820* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
821
822* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
823
824* aven: Depth fogging option.
825
826* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
827
828* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
829
830* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
831  showing the surface legs.
832
833* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
