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