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