1Changes in 1.2.32 (2017-07-08):
2
3* aven:
4
5  + Make splays on printouts a darker shade of grey.  Reported by Erin Lynch
6    and Anthony Day.
7
8  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,
9    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
10    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
11    Erin Lynch in #89.
12
13  + Ignore viewing angles for export formats which work in 3D.  When the
14    rotation and tilt controls are hidden in the export dialog we were still
15    using their values to transform the data, so if you set them with for one
16    export format which support them, then switched to an export format which
17    doesn't, you'd get bogus coordinates in the exported file.  Bug probably
18    introduced in 1.2.27 by fixes for exports of rotated plans and tilted
19    elevations.
20
21  + Fix exporting to skencil and Survex .pos formats.  When aven's export to
22    .pos was added in 1.2.19, the ordering didn't match up and since then .pos
23    export has produced skencil files and vice versa.
24
25  + Don't leave terrain on if loading terrain data fails.  Previously if you
26    clicked the terrain icon (or via the menu) with no terrain loaded, but no
27    terrain got loaded (e.g. because the survey data lacks an explicit
28    coordinate system, or because the file failed to load, or because you
29    cancelled the dialog) then the terrain icon/menu item was still changed to
30    "on".
31
32  + Disable texturing while drawing terrain.  Previously the terrain got a bit
33    darker when "Textured Walls" were enabled.
34
35  + Force a refresh when "Textured Walls" are enabled or disabled.  Previously
36    the display wouldn't update right away.
37
38* Manual:
39
40  + Document how to specify fixed point altitude in feet.
41
42  + Explain why *fix warns about unused fixed points
43
44* Building from source now requires a compiler with decent support for C++11.
45  If you're using GCC, then GCC 4.7 should suffice.  This should not be an
46  onerous requirement - e.g. Debian wheezy and Ubuntu trusty both have a recent
47  enough GCC.  If special options are needed, these should get probed for and
48  automatically.  Fixes building 1.2.31 with GCC < 6, reported by Wookey.
49
50Changes in 1.2.31 (2017-07-01):
51
52* aven:
53
54  + Use superscript 'g' symbol instead of word 'grads' in status bar.  This
55    conserves the limited space available, and we already do this in the
56    compass and clino indicators so it's more consistent too.
57
58  + Show one decimal place on measure line bearing.  Pointed out by Benedikt
59    Hallinger on the therion list, though I'm sure this has been asked for
60    before by others.
61
62  + Show gradient of the measuring line when both ends are stations.
63
64  + Allow selection of text in cavern log window.  Selection was disabled in
65    1.2.28 because it seemed you couldn't actually copy selected text to the
66    clipboard, but retesting this now actually works fine for me, both with
67    current git master with the change reverted, and with code just before the
68    original change.
69
70  + More robust parsing of cavern output (cleanly handle context highlighting
71    which extends beyond the end of the line).
72
73  + Allow showing duplicate legs as dashed lines or hiding them entirely,
74    with dashed now being the default.  Implemented by Patrick Warren.
75
76  + Also allow "Dashed" for splays and "Faded" for duplicate legs.
77
78  + Splay legs in surface data are also shown faded.
79
80  + Check environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR when looking for editor to
81    use when a warning or error is clicked on in the cavern log window.  The
82    specified editor may have a GUI or need to run in a terminal, so we have to
83    special-case each editor supported, and that means we can pass extra
84    options needed to position the cursor on the appropriate line/column.
85    Currently these editors are supported: gvim, nvim, vim, gedit, pluma,
86    emacs, nano, jed, kate.  Suggested by Wookey.
87
88  + Fix handling of non-square terrain data files - the X and Y dimensions were
89    swapped.  Reported by detrito.
90
91  + Improve parsing of DEM data with .hdr file.  Use documented defaults for
92    more values, and where we only support a subset of values (or a particular
93    value) check for unsupported values in more cases.
94
95  + When colouring by depth, fix colouring and texturing of polygons which
96    cross depth bands.  The previous problems were most obvious with high
97    chambers and long legs down deep pitches, especially in for surveys without
98    much vertical range.
99
100  + Support for drawing blobs using point sprites was added in 1.2.28,
101    but caching that this worked wasn't hooked up properly so the test to
102    see if this worked would happen at the start of each run.  This is now
103    cached as intended which should reduce start up time a little when blobs
104    are drawn in this way.
105
106  + Fix drawing of crosses with lines.  This is a fall-back case which is
107    rarely used as most OpenGL setups will handle a better method, but it was
108    resulting in crosses with a four-pixel square in the centre - now the
109    centre should be a single pixel.
110
111* cavern:
112
113  + Allow *data with no arguments to reset the current style - useful for
114    entering passage data where there are side passages.
115
116  + Fix hang processing file without newline at end.  This bug was introduced
117    by changes in 1.2.28.  Reported by Mark Brown.
118
119  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Build with newer version of
120    PROJ library which fixes buggy handling of *fix with lat-long coordinates.
121    Also add a testcase to the testsuite to alert users building for themselves
122    with an affected PROJ version on any platform.  Reported by Ross Davidson.
123
124  + Fix cavern to handle Compass .DAT with no survey team.  Previously this
125    resulted in the bogus error: Expecting numeric field, found "FROM"
126    Reported by Erin Lynch.
127
128  + Handle UTF-8 "BOM" at start of .svx files.  Unicode doesn't recommend its
129    use, but Microsoft stuff seems to like to create files with it in, and the
130    error cavern currently reports for such files is very confusing, so it
131    seems best to just handle it.  Reported by Rob Eavis.
132
133  + Change a couple of messages to use double quotes for consistency with all
134    other messages.
135
136* extend:
137
138  + Now runs a bit faster.
139
140  + Splays are now carried over the extended survey.  The current handling
141    is simplistic, but should do a good enough job to be more useful than
142    discarding splays.  The splays at each station are all rotated together
143    based on the bearing between the stations either side of the current one
144    along the first path extended through that station.  This nicely handles
145    dead ends and the situation at the top or bottom of a pitch, and should
146    tend to pick an angle close to the passage orientation along a traverse.
147    It's weakest at junctions.  Feedback (especially examples which could
148    be handled better) most welcome.
149
150* French translation is now up to date again, thanks to Jean-Marc.
151
152* Remove erroneous menu shortcut markers from Polish translations.
153
154* Fill in some missing translations in several languages by using message
155  translations from therion.
156
157* Add note to *fix documentation to clarify the coordinate order with *cs
158  long-lat.  Issue raised by Ross Davidson.
159
160* Fix errors in documentation of *units: "DEG" should be "DEGS", and
161  "MINUTES" has been supported for ages but wasn't documented.  Reported by
162  Footleg.
163
164* Fix a few typos in the documentation.
165
166* Fix compilation warning with recent GCC.
167
168Changes in 1.2.30 (2016-10-03):
169
170* aven:
171
172  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix crash when trying to print or export
173    (probably introduced in 1.2.28).  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
174
175  + Report error if terrain file contains no terrain data in area of survey.
176    Suggested by detrito.
177
178  + Errors when writing an export file were reported with the wrong filename
179    - the .3d file, not the filename we were trying to write to.
180
181  + Export to KML now supports exporting passages, walls and cross-sections.
182    Addresses the remainder of ticket #4.
183
184* Add man page for dump3d.
185
186Changes in 1.2.29 (2016-09-27):
187
188* aven:
189
190  + Fix SVG output with non-ASCII characters (the charset in the SVG file
191    is now set to UTF-8 not ISO-8859-1).
192
193  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix error dialog on startup in pre-built
194    version.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
195
196* Manual: Add link to TerrainData wiki page.  Omission highlighted by Erin
197  Lynch and "detrito".
198
199* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav and with older versions, broken by changes
200  in 1.2.28.  Reported by James Begley.
201
202Changes in 1.2.28 (2016-09-24):
203
204* cavern:
205
206  + Show the contents of the line after error and warning messages while
207    processing survey data, and indicate the region of the line in many cases
208    in the same style that compilers such as GCC and clang use (using the
209    column number we already have, plus new width information).  Based on a
210    patch from Mateusz Golicz.
211
212  + Add column and width information for many more error and warning messages.
213
214  + Fix column for "Separator in survey name" warning.
215
216  + Improve warnings when using a backclino with range 0-180 degrees (reusing
217    the same machinery we already have for a forward clino with range 0-180
218    degrees).
219
220* aven:
221
222  + Include LRUD in printout/export of extended elevations, broken by
223    improvements to export of tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by Anthony
224    Day.
225
226  + Name <trk> tags in GPX output, so Garmin GPS units name the imported track
227    usefully.  Reported by Anthony Day.
228
229  + Remember scale from previous print or export operation in the same run of
230    aven.  Suggested by Stuart Bennett.
231
232  + Convert range indication below shown line to a highlight on that region
233    of the line in cavern log window.
234
235  + Fix colouring of error/warning without column in cavern log window.
236
237  + Fix click on error/warning without column in cavern log window.
238
239  + Fix highlight of translations of "error" or "warning" containing non-ASCII
240    characters.  This fix for this only works with a Unicode build of
241    wxWidgets, but as of wxWidgets 3.0, all builds are Unicode, so this
242    shouldn't be much of a problem as wxWidgets 2.x is close to obsolete now.
243    Reported by Mateusz Golicz.
244
245  + Disable selection of text in cavern log window - you can't currently copy
246    it to the clipboard, so until that's implemented it seems better to disable
247    the ability to select it.  Reported by Wookey.
248
249  + Avoid special "1000" scale entry when exporting.
250
251  + Show 1 page when "One Page" selected.
252
253  + Reload processed data when restricting view.  Fixes failure when
254    restricting view on data just processed via aven.  Spotted by Andrew
255    Atkinson and myself.
256
257  + Don't hide blobs and crosses behind terrain.  Reported by Jenny Black.
258
259  + Fix rendering of crosses using point sprites.  The texture being used was
260    misaligned relative to the image used for the visual fidelity check, so the
261    check always failed and point sprites would never be used.  Where point
262    sprites are supported, they're probably the fastest option - on my netbook
263    this change improves FPS by ~6 fold when displaying crosses for a large
264    survey.
265
266  + Support drawing blobs using point sprites.  About 5 times faster than using
267    lines on my netbook.
268
269  + Recheck how best to draw crosses and blobs on the first run after Survex
270    is upgraded (or downgraded) as the rendering code may have changed (we
271    already recheck when the OpenGL hardware or driver changes).
272
273  + Change "MPEG" export to be MPEG4 (.mp4) rather than MPEG1 (.mpg).
274    MPEG4 produces smaller output of higher quality, and should be widely
275    supported these days.  And I can't get the MPEG1 output to work without
276    buffer underflows, resulting in a file which doesn't play without
277    glitches.
278
279  + Add OGG video to the list of formats - it's more compact than the others
280    we currently list, though slower to write.
281
282  + Fix export to movie formats for which libav/FFmpeg needs to seek the file
283    being written.  This was broken by changes in 1.2.27.
284
285  + Overhaul movie export for the current FFmpeg API, fixing deprecation
286    warnings when building against a recent version.
287
288  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix corrupted exported movie files.  1.2.27
289    changed the movie export code to allow writing to files with non-ASCII
290    characters in the names, but the new code failed to open the file in binary
291    mode, leading to corrupt output.  Fixes #81, reported by Erin Lynch.
292
293  * (Microsoft Windows version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for
294    movie export.
295
296  * (Mac OS X version): Pre-built version now uses FFmpeg 3.1.3 for movie
297    export.
298
299* Fix to build without FFmpeg/libav, broken by changes in 1.2.27.  Reported by
300  James Begley.
301
302* The Polish translation is now very close to being complete, thanks to a
303  substantial update from Mateusz Golicz.
304
305* Merge catalan translation updates from Adolfo Jayme.
306
307* (Microsoft Windows version): Map LANG_CHINESE to zh_CN not zh so Chinese
308  messages get used automatically.
309
310* cavern.tst: Remove random : from after ] - dash ignores the extra character,
311  but it causes this test to fail if /bin/sh is a different shell (e.g. bash).
312
313* cavern.tst: Add expected output for more testcases.
314
315* Remove unwanted execute bit from some testcase data.
316
317* Use https for more URLs which support it.
318
319Changes in 1.2.27 (2016-06-06):
320
321* aven:
322
323  + Right click on a survey in the survey tree now gives a pop-up menu
324    with "Hide others", which restricts the view to just that survey
325    and any subsurveys.  Right click on the root of the survey tree
326    gives a menu with "Show all" to undo any restriction in effect.
327    (Currently these are implemented by reloading the file and using
328    the same machinery as the --survey= command line option, but that will
329    probably change in the future).
330
331  + If there's a sub-survey restriction (from the --survey= command line
332    option or the new UI described above) it is now shown in brackets after
333    the survey tree root.
334
335  + When reloading a survey, preserve the current view position (previously
336    the view was recentred).
337
338  + When reloading a survey, actually preserve the current scale factor
339    (this was meant to happen, but the adjustment was applied in the
340    wrong direction).
341
342  + New "File->Extended Elevation..." menu item provides a way to generate
343    extended elevations for simple cases without having to use the command
344    line.  Suggested by Fleur Loveridge.
345
346  + Don't process key presses if accompanied by an unexpected modifier key.
347    In particular, this means that aven no longer interferes with Alt+<function
348    key> (which is typically handled by the desktop) and Alt+<letter> (which is
349    typically a menu short cut).  Reported by Владимир Георгиев.
350
351  + Reduce file loading time by ~5%.  The station name compare function was
352    something of a hot spot, and optimising it yielded a nice improvement.
353
354  + Allow splay legs to be disabled in when printing and exporting.  Mostly
355    addresses #60.
356
357  + SVG export now shows splay legs thinner and in grey.  See #60.
358
359  + Fix export of rotated plans and tilted elevations - previously plans were
360    always aligned with North up, and elevations which weren't exactly side on
361    were exported as plans.  Reported by Stuart Bennett.
362
363  + Fix offset bounding box for exported elevations.
364
365  + In print/export dialog the bearing value now wraps if you scroll up past
366    360 or down past 0.
367
368  + Fix greying out of LRUD-based controls in the print/export dialog when the
369    view is tilted (i.e. not plan or elevation).  This stopped working in
370    1.2.18 when the pan and tilt spin controls were changed from integer- to
371    real-valued ones.
372
373  + Printouts now show LRUD as pale grey arrows from the station they are
374    measured from.  Based on patch from Michael Sargent.  Closes #65.
375
376  + Take LRUD into account for printout size.  Fixes #72, reported by Erin
377    Lynch.
378
379  + Update movie export code to work with latest version of FFmpeg.
380
381  + Make "Show Log" a toggle, so you can click on the button to take a look at
382    the log, and a second click returns you to the survey view.
383
384  + (Microsoft Windows version): Open the font file in binary mode - it looks
385    like we were lucky and the font file (or at least its current version)
386    would have loaded OK in text mode despite being binary data.
387
388  + (Microsoft Windows version): Exporting to files with non-ASCII filenames
389    should now work.
390
391* cavern:
392
393  + Allow tape or backtape to be omitted.  Reported by Erin Lynch.
394
395  + Grid convergence is now corrected for when using automatically
396    calculated declinations (*declination auto <X> <Y> <Z>).  Requested
397    by Mateusz Golicz on the mailing list.
398
399  + Clear any cached calculated declination upon another *declination auto
400    with different coordinates.  Previously if the date stayed the same,
401    a previously cached declination for the old coordinates was used.
402
403  + Fix check for end of version number array in *required.   We would check up
404    to 12 version components, the last 9 being bogus.  In practice, *require is
405    only likely to be used with up to three components, so this wouldn't be an
406    issue.
407
408  + *begin with an invalid prefix could cause a crash in some cases.  Fixed
409    by patch from Colin Watson.
410
411  + Report column locations for errors to do with readings.
412
413* Merge translation updates from Jean-Marc.
414
415* img library: Better document which members can be set when writing.
416  Highlighted by email query about use of img API from Владимир Георгиев.
417
418* Document how *declination interacts with *calibrate declination if both are
419  used in the same dataset.
420
421* doc/3dformat.htm: Update details of how changes to the current label buffer
422  are encoded to reflect changes in v8.  Reported by Angus Sawyer.
423
424* Use docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man to generated Unix man pages
425  from SGML source.  The latter seems to be no longer actively maintained, and
426  docbook2man now does a similarly good job.
427
428* Use https for survex.com links, and for other sites which support it.
429
430Changes in 1.2.26 (2016-01-07):
431
432* aven:
433
434  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix to be able to process .svx files with
435    cavern again.
436
437* (Microsoft Windows version): Simplify upgrading process with innosetup
438  installer - if Survex is already installed, we now just install to the same
439  location and use the same start menu folder.
440
441* (Linux version): survex.spec: Update for filetype metadata change in 1.2.25.
442  Fixes #79, reported by James Begley.
443
444* (Linux version): survex.spec: Fix to work with RPM 4.13.  Fixes #79, reported
445  by James Begley.
446
447Changes in 1.2.25 (2016-01-05):
448
449* aven:
450
451  + Drop broken code which attempts to fix 2D pitches.  Fixes #73, reported by
452    Erin Lynch.  #76 tracks the issue the removed code was trying (but failing)
453    to address.
454
455  + When animating, don't try to update station info based on mouse movement
456    over the survey tree.
457
458  + Further improve code to handle cavern subprocess in aven.
459
460  + Fix jump to error for filenames containing colons when the error location
461    doesn't have a column number.  Bug noted by Jenny Black.
462
463  + If we encounter bad UTF-8 in cavern output, replace it with a red and white
464    ? in a diamond (previously we gave up showing output at the first bad
465    sequence).  This can happen if you process a .svx file which isn't UTF-8
466    encoded.
467
468  + (Unix version): Don't try to set the terminal window title when opening an
469    editor from the cavern log window - gnome-terminal no longer supports this,
470    and there doesn't seem to be a portable option for specifying the title for
471    terminals which do still support this.
472
473  + (Microsoft Windows version): Also quote for cmd.exe so that paths with
474    spaces in work reliably.  Reported by Marco Cotto.
475
476* cavern:
477
478  + Improve error for mismatched fore/back-sight plumbs, reported by Andy
479    Edwards (see #78).
480
481  + Fix to use correct sd for backcompass.  We were using zero instead, the
482    most obvious effect of which was that the threshold for warning about
483    differing COMPASS and BACKCOMPASS was about 71% of what it should have
484    been, so we were warning in more cases than we should have been.
485
486  + Implement support for specifying a length on backsights - if you're using
487    something like a disto-x, you'll get a distance reading for the backsight
488    too.  Fixes #71, reported by Erin Lynch.
489
490  + Make line counting more robust to mixed line ends.  Noticed in example file
491    from Pete Smart (see #69).
492
493* extend: New --show-breaks option which adds a leg flagged as surface survey
494  between each points at which a loop has been broken.  Suggested by Jenny
495  Black.
496
497* (Unix version): Update filetype metadata to work with modern desktops.
498
499* Fix incorrect reporting of errors reading and writing processed survey data.
500  Since 1.2.8, the error strings corresponding to IMG_CANTOPENOUT,
501  IMG_BADFORMAT and IMG_DIRECTORY have been mixed up (this doesn't affect
502  external programs using the img library, only Survex).  Reported by Jenny
503  Black.
504
505* Add missing options to extend man page and --help output.  Noted by Jenny
506  Black.
507
508* Document Document Ctrl+cursor keys for rotating and tilting in aven man page.
509
510* Fix broken SGML markup in manual.
511
512* Fix typo in manual reported by Jenny Black.
513
514* Update vim syntax file for newer commands, etc.
515
516* Minor translation updates.  Thanks to Piotr Strębski and Jean-Marc.
517
518* Fix to compile with FFmpeg 2.9.  Reported by Andreas Cadhalpun in
519  https://bugs.debian.org/803863
520
521* Stop maintaining ChangeLog files.  They make merging patches harder, and stop
522  'git cherry-pick' from working as it should.  The git repo history should be
523  sufficient for complying with GPLv2 2(a).
524
525* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer requires admin privileges on Vista
526  and later and OS versions older than Vista are past end of life, so drop code
527  which tries to set up the registry differently depending if we have admin
528  privileges or not.
529
530Changes in 1.2.24 (2015-09-23):
531
532* aven:
533
534  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix the cavern log window.  Reported by Brian
535    Clipstone.
536
537  + (Microsoft Windows version): Add workaround to avoid breakage in Therion.
538    Reported by Jenny Black.
539
540  + If wx was built with thread support, aven now runs cavern from a separate
541    thread, which works much better under wxMSW (where we can't use select),
542    and also seems a bit smoother on Linux.
543
544  + Fix handling of encoding of filenames when the operating system has no
545    locale installed corresponding to the language selected for Survex's
546    messages.
547
548  + Undo accidentally committed debugging code which was sending message to
549    the terminal in 1.2.23.
550
551* (Linux version): configure now looks first for wx-config-3.0, which Fedora's
552  wx3 packages have.  Reported by James Begley.
553
554* Indonesian translation fully up to date again.
555
556* Manual: Document anonymous stations, based on the text from NEWS.  Reported
557  by Wookey.
558
559Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):
560
561* aven:
562
563  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
564    machines.
565
566  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.
567
568  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
569    already being processed.
570
571  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
572    Reported by Martin Green.
573
574  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.
575
576* cavern:
577
578  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
579    find the original survey notes).
580
581  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
582    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
583    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
584    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
585    progress display to be useful.
586
587* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.
588
589* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
590  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.
591
592* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
593  running cavern.
594
595* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
596  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
597  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
598
599Changes in 1.2.22 (2015-08-17):
600
601* aven:
602
603  + Ensure that the window has a depth buffer.  Whether it does by default
604    seems to vary depending on OS and maybe graphics card.  Fixes #55 (terrain
605    is no longer visible through itself), and also the rendering of passage
606    tubes.  Thanks to Martin Green for pointing me in the right direction for
607    finding this fix.
608
609* cavern:
610
611  + Fix *declination with an angle to actually work.
612
613  + Fix assertion if we try to identify a hanging survey by an anonymous
614    station.
615
616  + Improve errors for invalid survey names in *begin, *end, *equate and
617    *export.
618
619Changes in 1.2.21 (2015-07-28):
620
621* aven:
622
623  + Fix exporting to KML and other text-based formats to always use "." for the
624    decimal separator - previously "," would be used when the user's locale
625    specified this for the decimal separator.  Reported by Jan Schorn.
626
627  + Implement exporting of survey legs in KML format.
628
629  + Put "paddle" placemarker icons on stations in exported KML files, using the
630    same colour coding for entrances, fixed points and exported points as aven
631    does.
632
633  + Remove the "Coordinate projection" field from the print dialog, as it isn't
634    relevant there.  Reported by Wookey.
635
636  + Fix the initial scale for small caves (since 1.2.18 the initial scale has
637    been too small).  Reported by Wookey.
638
639  + Don't rescale if the same file is reloaded, but adjust the volume diameter
640    as appropriate.
641
642  + Use wxGetenv() to read the SURVEXEDITOR variable, so we can accept Unicode
643    values on Windows.
644
645* cavern:
646
647  + Fix coordinate systems using latitude and longitude - PROJ.4 wants these in
648    radians, but we were passing degrees, which would generally cause the
649    conversion to the output coordinate system to fail.  Reported by Wookey.
650
651  + Fix *fix with standard deviations when *cs is in use, give an error for use
652    of *fix with standard deviations before *cs.
653
654  + Add new *declination command with support for setting the declination
655    automatically from the IGRF model based on the survey date.  Thanks to the
656    Therion developers for the IGRF support code, which we're reusing.
657    Fixes #54, reported by Wookey.
658
659  + Allow the units for the zero error to be specified, making it easier to
660    specify calibration with a scale if you measure the zero error externally
661    (rather than using the instrument itself).  Fixes #61, reported by Andrew
662    Atkinson.
663
664  + Report the error from PROJ when coordinate conversion fails as part of the
665    actual error rather than on a separate line.
666
667  + Fix use after free after *solve.  This only occurs if a leg between the two
668    exact same stations appears right before and right after the *solve, which
669    is unlikely in real data, but the testsuite has an instance of this.  This
670    was introduced by the repeat leg averaging added in 1.2.17.
671
672  + Fix small memory leak when solving network.  This doesn't really matter
673    when solving at the end of processing as cavern will exit after that, but
674    if *solve is used we continue processing after solving.
675
676* Remove compatibility handling for specifying a country variant of a language
677  in SURVEXLANG using "-" with a lower case country code (e.g. "en-us") - we
678  changed to the standard "en_US" way back in 2001.  This code was mangling
679  character sets with a "-" in, and is no longer useful.
680
681* Ignore any "@<something>" modifier in the language code.
682
683* Improve documentation of magnetic declination handling, and cover the new
684  "*DECLINATION" command.
685
686* Document aven's command line options in the manual and its man page.
687  Reported by Jenny Black.
688
689* Point to '*case' and '*truncate' from the 'SEE ALSO' sections of each other's
690  documentation.
691
692* Remove references to SpeleoGen from the documentation - it hasn't been
693  updated for many years, and can't read recent versions of the .3d format.
694
695* Strip documentation references to obsolete versions of MS Windows.
696
697* doc/HACKING.htm: Update list of debian packages to install to build from git.
698
699Changes in 1.2.20 (2015-06-26):
700
701* aven:
702
703  + When printing, use the top margin rather than the right margin to calculate
704    the height of the printable area.  In practice, the two values seem to be
705    the same or very similar by default.
706
707  + Avoid assertion if the about dialog image fails to load.  Reported by Phil
708    Maynard.
709
710  + Optimise the size of the about dialog images.
711
712  + Add support for reading terrain data which isn't in a .zip file.
713
714  + Force a refresh after loading terrain data so that it gets displayed right
715    away.
716
717  + Make checks for terrain data extensions in zip files case insensitive.
718
719  + If reading terrain data fails, always report an error and never try to
720    display it.
721
722* cavern: Allow clino readings in diving style data, suggested by Andrew
723  Atkinson.  Currently these readings are ignored, but a future version will
724  check that they're consistent with the angle given by the depth gauge and
725  tape, and perform suitable averaging.
726
727* Remove lingering traces of svxedit.
728
729* configure: Fix to allow compiling without libav/ffmpeg, as was possible
730  before 1.2.19.
731
732* (Unix version): Install the filetype and aven application icons under
733  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where they're expected to be these days.
734
735* (Unix version): Add %f to Exec in survex-aven.desktop.
736
737* (Mac OS X version): Remove useless extra copy of about box images from OS X
738  disk image.
739
740* (Mac OS X version): Only ship one copy of each of the translations.
741
742* (Mac OS X version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling a load of
743  libav features we don't use.
744
745* (Microsoft Windows version): Reduce the size of the aven binary by disabling
746  a load of libav features we don't use.
747
748* (Microsoft Windows version): Update message files to fix a missing Chinese
749  message in the installer.
750
751Changes in 1.2.19 (2015-06-18):
752
753* aven:
754
755  + Fix exporting to GPX, KML and HPGL, which all failed to write the header to
756    the exported file in 1.2.18.
757
758  + Add exporting to Survex .pos format.
759
760  + If the measuring line isn't currently active, pressing "Escape" will now
761    exit full screen mode.
762
763  + (Mac OS X version): Change the shortcut for full screen mode to be the
764    standard Ctrl+Command+F (rather than Shift+Command+F which we have been
765    using since 1.2.7).
766
767  + (Mac OS X version): When we centre the view on the station this can
768    generate a mouse move event, so clear the variable which says we are
769    dragging before we process a left click on a station.  This avoids random
770    rotations of the survey when clicking on a station, reported in #47 by Hugh
771    St. Lawrence.
772
773  + (Mac OS X version): Force use of a non-native toolbar to stop the toolbar
774    icons from being rescaled and looking fuzzy.
775
776  + (Mac OS X version): Remove code added in 1.2.18 which tries to set stop the
777    toolbar icons from being rescaled, but which requires an unreleased version
778    of wxWidgets, had a typo in, and doesn't actually seem to work anyway.
779
780  + (Mac OS X version): Drop out of full screen mode if the mouse is mode to
781    the top of the screen, since we can't seem to display the menu bar in this
782    case like we do on other platforms.
783
784  + (Mac OS X version): Enable aven's movie export feature.
785
786  + (Mac OS X version): Enable wxDisplay when building wxWidgets to better
787    support multi-monitor setups.
788
789  + (Mac OS X version): Silence warning visible when aven is run from a
790    terminal about a missing CFBundleTypeRole.
791
792  + When reading terrain data from a .zip file, report an error if the .zip
793    file is bad, or if it doesn't contain any terrain data we recognise.
794
795  + Tweak error message in terrain reading code to distinguish two failure
796    cases.
797
798  + Add viewing angles and scale to footer, and shorten some of the other items
799    to make room for this extra information.  (Fixes ticket #52, reported by
800    Erin Lynch)
801
802  + If the footer is wider than the printout width, scale down the font used
803    so that it exactly fits; if the footer is narrower, than space out the
804    items in in so it uses the full width.
805
806  + If the saved size for aven's window exceeds the current display size
807    (mostly likely because we're now plugged into a smaller monitor), then
808    reduce the size of the window to fit the display.  If the saved size is <
809    (480x320), increase it to at least that, as aven isn't usable in a smaller
810    window.
811
812  + Remove crude bodge which tries to pick a nicer initial window size when
813    using wxWidgets without wxDisplay on a multi-monitor setup - aven now opens
814    with the same size window it had when it was closed, so the initial size is
815    only relevant on the first ever run.
816
817* Assorted translation updates.  Notably Indonesian is at 100% again.
818
819* Stop trying to catch and report signals.  The only real reason to do it is so
820  we can say "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors"
821  before we exit, but when the program crashes that's pretty obvious.  In aven
822  we try to pop up a message box for this message, which may fail due to
823  whatever caused the signal, while with the command line tools there's no
824  great benefit over just letting the shell report the signal.
825
826* Use pkg-config to probe for libav and proj, which sorts out the correct flags
827  for building on OS X against a static install of libav.
828
829Changes in 1.2.18 (2015-06-03):
830
831* aven:
832
833  + Add support for reading terrain data (from a zip file containing either an
834    SRTM .hgt file, or an ESRI .bil file and associated metadata files), and
835    rendering it as a transparent surface.
836
837  + Remove actions from 'Orientation' and 'Rotation' menus which you wouldn't
838    sanely want to perform from the menu.
839
840  + Create a "Colour by" submenu of the "View" menu to house the various
841    colouring options.
842
843  + Add "Colour by Gradient" and "Colour by Length".
844
845  + Make the button to dismiss the "About" dialog "OK" rather than "Close",
846    which seems more logical, and also allows the dialog to be closed by
847    pressing "Escape".
848
849  + Destroy any existing clipping region before we write the page footer.
850    Hopefully solves ticket #52, reported by Erin Lynch.
851
852  + Don't round bearing and tilt angles to integers when printing and
853    exporting.
854
855  + Add passage export for EPS format.  (Partly addresses ticket #4)
856
857  + Add JSON export.  This should be regarded as experimental, and the format
858    is quite likely to change.
859
860  + Pressing F6 now toggles the display of rendering stats, currently FPS
861    (Frames Per Second) and the number of triangles in the terrain mesh.
862
863  + Add a menu item and toolbar button to show the cavern log window if the
864    currently shown survey data was processed by aven.  Reported by Hugh St
865    Lawrence in #47, and by Dave Clucas and others previously on the list.
866
867  + Add "Save Log" button to Aven's cavern log window.
868
869  + In cavern log window, highlight "error" markers in red and "warning"
870    markers in orange.
871
872  + Rework code to read cavern's output.  In particular, we no longer mix
873    buffered and non-buffered system calls.
874
875  + Aven's support for reading colours and font sizes for printouts from
876    print.ini has never worked - the contents of the ini files are ignored due
877    to a bug which has been there since the code was added in 2005 - but nobody
878    has ever complained.  So just strip out that code entirely - we should
879    support setting the colours and font sizes, but a GUI interface for setting
880    them would be better.
881
882  + Fix to compile with a Unicode build of wxWidgets 2.8.  Reported by Bill
883    Gee.
884
885  + Take the width of the messages used above the compass and clino into
886    account when calculating how much space to allow for them - now the labels
887    won't overlap or be cut off in translations where they are long.
888
889  + (Mac OS X version): Attempt to address the size of the toolbar icons.
890
891* cavern:
892
893  + Reject *fix with SDs which aren't all positive.  (fixes#2, reported by
894    susscorfa).
895
896  + Use the currently set units when outputting measurements in warnings,
897    errors, and the stats at the end of the run.  Requested by Bill Gee.
898
899  + Include column number when a *include file isn't found.
900
901  + Show 'error' in front of error messages, like we show 'warning' in front of
902    warnings.  Fixes #48, reported by Wookey.
903
904  + Increase the threshold for warning that fore and back measurements differ
905    from 2 SDs to 3 SDs.
906
907* findentrances: If the 3d file specifies the coordinate system, use it.
908
909* svxedit: Remove svxedit - while an editor with built-in knowledge of survex
910  would be nice to have, svxedit doesn't really offer that, and it looks ugly
911  in a modern desktop.
912
913* If we run out of memory while reading a processed survey data file, include
914  the filename in the error message.
915
916* Many translation updates - notably Indonesian and Russian are now the two
917  most complete translations.
918
919* (Microsoft Windows version): Add code page 1252 mappings for fancy quotes.
920
921* Transliterate gradient and infinity symbols if the current character set
922  lacks them.
923
924* Add SVG version of .plt icon.
925
926* Manual:
927
928  + Add complete list of quantities you can set SDs for.  Thanks for Wookey for
929    highlighting that the previous list was incomplete.
930
931  + Document averaging of a group of repeated readings.
932
933  + Add a link to the sample data from the manual.
934
935  + Remove references to contact addresses which are no longer there.  Remove
936    offer to post people floppies, and references to a CD image which isn't
937    available for download.
938
939* Remove non-breaking spaces from the diffpos and extend manual pages, as they
940  actually make the output formatting worse (presumably these used to work
941  around a since-fixed bug in one of the docbook processing tools).
942
943* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
944
945* Fix to compile without warnings with 'g++ --std=gnu++11'.
946
947Changes in 1.2.17 (2015-02-24):
948
949* MacOS X version:
950
951  + Update INSTALL file with current status.
952
953  + Aven.app now has a custom icon.
954
955  + Add icons for all the filetypes supported.
956
957  + Add Finder actions for .svx, .3d, .plt and .pos files.
958
959  + aven: Hide the status bar and tool bar in Full Screen mode, as wx doesn't
960    currently do this for us.
961
962  + aven: Fix short-cut for toggling Full Screen mode.
963
964  + aven: Make "About" menu item appear.
965
966  + aven: Fix "Close" button in about dialog.
967
968  + aven: Make custom cursors black with a white outline to match the standard
969    OS X cursor.
970
971  + svxedit: Now wrapped up in an application bundle as svxedit.app.  It
972    still doesn't really work like a standard app though - e.g. you can't load
973    files from Finder (instead run svxedit.app and use File->Open), the font
974    size of most menu items is wrong, the icon for the app is the wish icon
975    rather than the svxedit icon, shortcuts use Ctrl not the Cmd key, and
976    probably more.  I'd probably recommend using another editor (OS X comes
977    with TextEdit.app for example).
978
979  + The documentation is now in a "Docs" directory alongside the apps, rather
980    than in the rather less obvious "share/doc/survex" directory.
981
982  + Default to building for x86_64, since all modern Macs are 64 bit.
983
984  + Disable use of liblzma when building wxWidgets for OS X, which was
985    preventing the build from working on OS X 10.6.8.
986
987  + Download wx sources from SF via redirecting link.  Thanks to David A.
988    Riggs.
989
990  + buildmacosx.sh: Handle the mount point for the disk image containing a
991    space.
992
993  + Link with a static build of PROJ for doing coordinate system conversions.
994
995  + Build wx with --disable-webview to avoid a compilation failure on OS X
996    10.10.1.
997
998  + Use wx-config --cc and --cxx to get the compilers to use for building
999    everything else, as wx adds options to them which otherwise cause linking
1000    errors.
1001
1002  + The diskimage (.dmg) file is now compressed with bzip2, which gives a
1003    smaller download.  This means OS X 10.4 is required, but we probably
1004    already need at least 10.5 because that's the minimum version which the
1005    wxWidgets build supports by default.
1006
1007  + Remove unused files and copies of files from the diskimage.
1008
1009* cavern: If the same leg is repeated consecutively, average the readings and
1010  treat as a single leg.
1011
1012* dump3d: Report SEPARATOR used by the file being read.
1013
1014* aven.svg: Fix visual glitch in SVG icon for aven.  Noted by David A. Riggs.
1015
1016* aven:
1017
1018  + Greatly reduce flicker when mouse is moved to the top of the screen in full
1019    screen mode and the menu bar reappears.
1020
1021  + For export formats where scaling is supporting, aven now actually uses the
1022    scale specified in the export dialog (previously it ignored this and used
1023    1:500).
1024
1025  + Reimplement animation so that it's based on angular change per unit of
1026    elapsed time, rather than averaging the time take for the last two scene
1027    redraws.  This gives smoother animation in the face of variable load and
1028    scene redraw time, and should be more consistent between platforms.
1029
1030  + Switching to a point of the compass during auto-rotation now jumps straight
1031    there rather than the two animations fighting.
1032
1033  + Reduce the maximum auto-rotation speed, as the previous limit was uselessly
1034    fast.
1035
1036  + Disable stepping the rotation angle when animating (previously we only did
1037    when rotating).
1038
1039  + Speed up start-up a bit - rather than loading icons from individual PNG
1040    files on disk, compile them into the aven binary.
1041
1042* (Unix version): Add "MimeType" field to desktop files so that file
1043  associations work out of the box with modern desktop environments.
1044
1045* Add start of Hungarian translation from Imre Balogh.
1046
1047* Merge in many updates to the Russian translation from "vsuhachev".
1048
1049* Assorted minor updates to other translations.
1050
1051* Create scalable (SVG) versions of file type icons.
1052
1053* doc/manual.sgml: Remove $Id and $Date markers, as they don't get expanded now
1054  we're using git.
1055
1056* tests/: Improve test coverage in a few places:
1057
1058  + Extend tests of fore and back sights to test calibration of the back
1059    compass.
1060
1061  + Test "Can't calibrate angular and length quantities together" error.
1062
1063  + Check that "*set names ." works when "." is also the decimal point.
1064
1065Changes in 1.2.16 (2014-10-17):
1066
1067* aven: Add KML export (stations only currently).
1068
1069* aven: Allow measuring line to measure from anonymous stations.  (Fixes #44)
1070
1071* aven: Fix corrupted names in exported files.
1072
1073* aven: Fix error log window under wxWidgets >= 2.9 to include the system
1074  information before the first log message like it does under wxWidgets 2.8.
1075
1076* cavern: Add support for "*cs JTSK" and "*cs JTSK03".
1077
1078* tests/: Improve test coverage.
1079
1080* Translation updates for many languages, plus the start of translations to
1081  Greek and Polish.
1082
1083* Fix to build against wxWidgets 3.0 built with assertions disabled.  Reported
1084  by Martin Sluka.
1085
1086* Fix warnings when compiling with clang (which is the default compiler on
1087  Mac OS X).  Reported by Martin Sluka.
1088
1089Changes in 1.2.15 (2014-08-14):
1090
1091* cavern: The *cs command now also supports "long-lat", "s-merc" (for "Web
1092  Mercator"), EPSG and ESRI codes, "eur79z30", "ijtsk" and "ijtsk03".  This
1093  means that we now support all the coordinates systems which Therion does,
1094  except for a few which don't have X=East and Y=North.  The documentation
1095  for *cs has also been improved.
1096
1097* aven: We no longer persist full screen mode between runs - it's not a
1098  standard behaviour of desktop programs, and it's too easy to go into full
1099  screen mode from the menu and then not be able to get out again because you
1100  don't know the required key shortcut. (ticket#39)
1101
1102* aven: When in full screen mode, moving the mouse to the top of the screen now
1103  makes the menu bar appear.  This provides a non-shortcut way out of full
1104  screen mode, as well as making it easier to perform other operations while in
1105  full screen mode.  The current implementation gives an annoyingly flickery
1106  transition, but hopefully we can improve this in future. (ticket#39)
1107
1108* (MacOS X version): If built with wxWidgets >= 3.1.0 (which is still in
1109  development), we now call EnableFullScreenView() which improves the full
1110  screen mode experience on OS X 10.7 and later.
1111
1112* img library: Improve documentation for img_ERROR_INFO.
1113
1114* tests/: Ship some missing .out files and compare.tst.
1115
1116* tests/: cavern.tst testcase back2 is now actually used.  Fix a bug in this
1117  testcase, and extend it to cover a variant of the situation reported as a bug
1118  in therion by Bill Gee to the therion list.
1119
1120* (Linux version) survex.spec: Add run-time requirement on proj and proj-epsg
1121  for the survex package and on tk for the svxedit package.
1122
1123Changes in 1.2.14 (2014-07-05):
1124
1125* img library: Add ability to store a PROJ4 string describing the coordinate
1126  system in use in 3d v8 files.
1127
1128* aven: If the 3d file specifies a coordinate system, then use it for exporting
1129  to formats which need to know (currently GPX).  If the input file doesn't
1130  specify the coordinate system, allow the user to enter a PROJ4 string in the
1131  export dialog.
1132
1133* aven: You can now quickly zoom to a particular area by holding down the
1134  "Shift" key and dragging with the left mouse button to create a rectangular
1135  "rubber band box" around the area you wish to zoom to.  If you release the
1136  "Shift" key while still dragging, the box is centred on the start point
1137  rather than having one corner there.
1138
1139* aven: Fix exporting of passage tubes in elevations and extended elevations
1140  - previously up and down were getting drawn across the page!
1141
1142* aven: Fix "Cancel" to work on the print/export dialog, broken by changes in
1143  1.2.13.  (Reported by Brian Clipstone)
1144
1145* aven: Fix the conditions on which the menu item "Cancel measuring line" is
1146  enabled - previously it was hard to actually cancel it via the menu.
1147  Reported by Hugh St Lawrence.
1148
1149* aven: Fix wx assertion failures when showing hit test debug view on platforms
1150  such as 64-bit Linux.
1151
1152* aven: When viewing from above, show "Plan" above the "clino" which indicates
1153  the tilt angle (instead of "Elevation -90°").
1154
1155* aven: The extended font data now loads faster, and also uses less memory on
1156  64-bit platforms.
1157
1158* aven: Dragging the vertical divider between the side panel and the 3D view
1159  now only updates when you finish the drag, as redrawing continuously just
1160  looks clunky except on an ultra-fast machine.
1161
1162* aven: (German translation) Abbreviate "Blickrichtung" so it doesn't overfill
1163  the space available in the aven UI.
1164
1165* cavern: Add a *cs command to allow setting the coordinate system for *fix
1166  commands, and the coordinate system used for processed survey data.  The
1167  latter is now stored in 3d v8 format files.
1168
1169* cavern: Add support for 'L' flag (exclude from length) in Compass .dat files
1170  and handle it in the same way as the "DUPLICATE" flag in .svx files.
1171
1172* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, still
1173  actually fix the second and subsequent ones, to avoid triggering bogus errors
1174  about unconnected surveys.
1175
1176* cavern: If there's more than one *fix command with coordinates, report the
1177  station name of the previous one, plus the file and line number where it was.
1178
1179* cavern: Fix handling of the rather contrived case of *fix with no coordinates
1180  followed by *solve and then another *fix with no coordinates not to access
1181  freed memory.
1182
1183* dump3d: Report any specified coordinate system.
1184
1185* doc/3dformat.htm: Update to document how the coordinate system is stored.
1186
1187* (Microsoft Windows version): Include dump3d in the installer.
1188
1189* Fix a compiler warning.
1190
1191* Improve test coverage.
1192
1193Changes in 1.2.13 (2014-05-15):
1194
1195* aven: Fix --print option to wait for printing to happen before exiting
1196  (previously it would exit right after opening the print dialog, so you
1197  couldn't actually print anything out using it).
1198
1199* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
1200  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
1201  Hugh St Lawrence.
1202
1203* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
1204  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
1205  with using aven on a touch screen device.
1206
1207* aven: The measuring line was unable to see stations which had just been
1208  revealed by toggling surface or underground legs on - this is now fixed.
1209
1210* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
1211  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).
1212
1213* aven: Pressing F4 now allows the user to toggle wxWidgets assertion messages
1214  off and back on.
1215
1216* aven: Create the empty hit-test grid data structure lazily, to reduce start
1217  up time a little.
1218
1219* cavern: Improve messages which talk about "tags" and/or "prefixes" in *begin
1220  and *end commands to instead talk about "survey names".
1221
1222* cavern: For ages cavern has warned if you reentered a survey, but this
1223  warning was suppressed if it occurred at the same line of the same file as
1224  the survey was first entered, but this can only happen if you include the
1225  same survey file more than once, which isn't a sensible thing to do for a
1226  file with actual survey data in (you might reasonably do it to set up survey
1227  grade details or something like that).  The warning is now given in this
1228  situation too.
1229
1230* cavern: After 5 warnings about reentering a survey we give up warning about
1231  it, but we used to keep reporting where the survey was originally entered -
1232  this secondary diagnostic message is now silenced when the main message is.
1233
1234* (Microsoft Windows version): Compile C code with optimisation on.
1235
1236* Add the start of a Russian translation, with messages take from therion.
1237
1238* Minor translation updates to French.
1239
1240* Fix compiler warning from GCC.
1241
1242* Testsuite improvements:
1243
1244  + Test that "..." anon station works.
1245
1246  + cavern.tst: Check number of errors returned by all testcases which should
1247    fail and give an error count.
1248
1249  + cavern.tst: Fix to actually fully test everything when builddir != srcdir.
1250
1251Changes in 1.2.12 (2014-04-14):
1252
1253* aven: Fix measuring line to show change in altitude rather than altitude
1254  itself (accidentally broken by changes in 1.2.11).  Reported by Brian
1255  Clipstone.
1256
1257* aven: Fix printing when built with wxWidgets 3.0.
1258
1259* aven: Several visual improvements to printouts:
1260
1261  + Move the numbers below the scale bar down a little so that they don't
1262    overlap the scale bar ticks.
1263
1264  + Set the clipping region after we draw the page border and info box to avoid
1265    clipping the border in print preview.
1266
1267  + Tidy up the appearance of the compass and elevation arrow.
1268
1269* aven: Fix to build with libav 10.  Reported by Moritz Muehlenhoff in
1270  <http://bugs.debian.org/739332>.
1271
1272* aven: Fix to build with older libav where avcodec_free_frame() isn't
1273  available.
1274
1275* (Linux version) survex.spec: Update spec file used for building RPM packages.
1276
1277* (Unix version): Add "Keywords:" entry to .desktop files.
1278
1279* (Unix version): Enable large file support, mostly to support filing systems
1280  which return 64 bit inode values, such as CIFS mounts.
1281
1282* (Microsoft Windows version): Only allow "A-Z" or "a-z" for driver letters,
1283  rather than any character which is a letter in the current locale.
1284
1285* Various translation updates.
1286
1287Changes in 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):
1288
1289* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
1290  Reported by Kevin Dixon.
1291
1292* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
1293  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
1294  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
1295  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).
1296
1297* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
1298  <= 256 earlier in the same string.
1299
1300* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
1301  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.
1302
1303* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
1304  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).
1305
1306* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
1307  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1308
1309* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
1310  box".
1311
1312* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.
1313
1314* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
1315  indicators.
1316
1317* aven: All length units are now translatable.
1318
1319* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
1320  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
1321  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.
1322
1323* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
1324  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
1325  measurably slower.
1326
1327* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
1328  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.
1329
1330* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
1331  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.
1332
1333* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
1334  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
1335  from Therion and elsewhere.
1336
1337* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
1338  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
1339  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().
1340
1341* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
1342  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.
1343
1344* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
1345  A. Riggs for his work on this.
1346
1347* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
1348  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.
1349
1350* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.
1351
1352* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
1353  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
1354  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
1355  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
1356  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
1357  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.
1358
1359* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
1360
1361Changes in 1.2.10 (2014-01-15):
1362
1363* aven: Fix assertion if two mouse buttons are held down at the same time.
1364  If dragging with more than one mouse button held down, releasing one causes
1365  another which is still held down to take effect.  Reported by Brian
1366  Clipstone.
1367
1368* aven: If we fail to start the external editor when the user clicks on an
1369  error or warning from cavern, show an error box.
1370
1371* aven: If the survey has a title, add it as a top-level <title> element to
1372  exported SVG files.
1373
1374* aven: Escape '<', '>', and '&' in labels in exported SVG files.
1375
1376* aven: In GPX export, set the <time> element to the datestamp from the 3d
1377  file.
1378
1379* aven: Don't try to write the title if it isn't set or is empty when exporting
1380  GPX files.
1381
1382* aven: Don't bother looking up the printer page setup info when exporting.
1383
1384* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix crash on "File->Print" or
1385  "File->Export" under Windows XP, reported by Brian Clipstone.
1386
1387* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Fix error dialog about an incorrectly
1388  encoded filename which could occur if run without being asked to load a file
1389  on startup.
1390
1391* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Compile with optimisation on.
1392
1393* img library, aven: Although processed CMAP data files are often referred to
1394  as "CMAP .XYZ files", it seems that actually, the extension .XYZ isn't used,
1395  rather .SHT (shot variant, produced by CMAP v16 and later), .UNA (unadjusted)
1396  and .ADJ (adjusted) extensions are.  Since we've long checked for .XYZ, we
1397  continue to do so in case anyone is relying on it, but also check for the
1398  other extensions.
1399
1400* img library: Add new "datestamp_numeric" field to struct img giving the
1401  datestamp as a time_t in UTC (or (time_t)-1 if there's no datestamp or we
1402  failed to convert it).  For .3d >= v8, this field is reliable.  We attempt to
1403  convert date strings in .3d <= v7 and CMAP XYZ files, but may get the
1404  timezone wrong.
1405
1406* img library: Fix my_strcasecmp() to handle top-bit set characters better.
1407
1408* cavern: Fix NULL pointer dereference when processing Compass DAT file without
1409  'SURVEY DATE:'.
1410
1411* doc/manual.sgml: Update references to Survex 1.1 which should be to 1.2.
1412
1413* doc/manual.sgml: Note the station length limit Smaps used.
1414
1415* Fix some compiler warnings if built with glibc's fortify source feature
1416  enabled.
1417
1418Changes in 1.2.9 (2014-01-08):
1419
1420* Document --3d-version in cavern man page and the manual.
1421
1422* aven: Fix compilation error in movie export code with recent libavi.
1423
1424* aven: Fix warning on stderr when export a movie as MPEG.
1425
1426* img library: In non-hosted mode, don't define GETC and PUTC if they're
1427  already defined, to allow easy overriding with getc_unlocked() and
1428  putc_unlocked() (which are significantly faster on Linux).
1429
1430* img library: In non-hosted mode, check that int is at least 32 bits,
1431  and if not, use long.  In practice, platforms with 16 bit int are mostly
1432  obsolete, but it's not hard to be portable here.
1433
1434* img library: Add test that img.c and img.h compile in non-hosted mode
1435  (regression test for issue fixed in 1.2.8).
1436
1437* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 3.0.0.
1438
1439* Update translations from launchpad and from existing similar messages.
1440
1441* Fix some compiler warnings.
1442
1443Changes in 1.2.8 (2013-10-29):
1444
1445* cavern: Fix handling of anonymous wall stations ('..' by default) to
1446  implicitly set the SPLAY leg flag, as was intended.  Reported by Thomas
1447  Holder.
1448
1449* cavern: Tweak .err file output not to lose the space in front of certain
1450  statistics when the value gets large.
1451
1452* cavern: Eliminate redundant progress message when solving simultaneous
1453  equations.
1454
1455* aven: Add a format drop down to the export dialog, and only show fields which
1456  are meaningful and supported for the currently selected export format.  The
1457  format defaults to that used most recently.  The "Elements" and "View" boxes
1458  have been swapped in the print and export dialogs as that layout works much
1459  better when the "View" box is hidden.
1460
1461* aven: Changing checkboxes in the print or export dialog didn't work in 1.2.7
1462  - now works again.  Reported by Anthony Day.
1463
1464* aven: Add GPX export (based on findentrances patch from Olaf Kähler).  In
1465  this release the projection which the survey coordinates are in defaults
1466  to the BMN M31 grid used in the Totes Gebirge in Austria.  On Unix, you
1467  can edit ~/.aven and add a new line setting 'input_projection' to a PROJ
1468  projection string.  The ability to specify this projection in a better
1469  way is coming soon.
1470
1471* aven: New export options "Origin in centre" and "Full coordinates" - the
1472  latter fixes #10.  GPX and PLT output implicitly force "full coordinates".
1473
1474* aven: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some
1475  time ago, so update references.
1476
1477* aven: Make the Presentation->Play menu item a checkbox, to avoid a warning
1478  with wxMSW 2.9.5.  Reported by Brian Clipstone.
1479
1480* aven: Make right click in an empty presentation mark the current position and
1481  open it to edit, instead of crashing.
1482
1483* aven: Update movie export code to work with latest libav API.  Reported by
1484  Sebastian Ramacher.
1485
1486* aven: Improve reporting of errors during the process of exporting a movie.
1487
1488* aven: Don't try to close the movie if we aren't producing one.
1489
1490* aven: Fix assertion failure when double-clicking on the survey with wx2.9.
1491
1492* aven: Fix to build with wxMSW 2.9.5.
1493
1494* aven: Fix to build with wx 2.9.5 with wx2.8 compatibility disabled.
1495
1496* cad3d: The "Sketch" vector drawing program got renamed to "Skencil" some time
1497  ago, so add a new --skencil option to specify this output format.  The old
1498  name (--sketch) is still recognised for compatibility.
1499
1500* cad3d: Make --marker-size work for Skencil and SVG output.
1501
1502* dump3d: Make --show-dates option show dates for XSECT.
1503
1504* img library:
1505
1506  + Fix to work once more when used outside of Survex (missing definition of
1507    max() macro and a bad call to free() in img_close() for a file opened for
1508    reading).
1509
1510  + Use lround() instead of round(), and make the tests around whether we use
1511    the library function or the our fallback implementation saner.
1512
1513  + Fix // comments in C code for portability to pre-C99 compilers which don't
1514    support these as an extension.
1515
1516  + Can now be compiled as C++ as well as as C.
1517
1518* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now built with a newer version
1519  of Innosetup, and includes translations for all the languages which Survex
1520  itself has any translations for.
1521
1522* (Microsoft Windows version): aven is now built with wxWidgets 2.9.5.
1523
1524* Minor translation updates.
1525
1526* tests/Makefile.am: Distribute files for "normal_bad" testcase.
1527
1528Changes in 1.2.7 (2013-07-27):
1529
1530* Add support for anonymous stations, which are indicated by one, two or three
1531  separator characters - with the default separator of '.', that means '.',
1532  '..', and '...' are anonymous stations.  Single separator ('.' by default)
1533  is an anonymous non-wall point, double separator ('..' by default)
1534  is an anoymous wall point at the end of an implicit splay), and triple
1535  separator ('...' by default) is an anoymous point (with nothing special about
1536  the leg).  A new *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for
1537  compatibility with pocket topo: *alias station - ..
1538
1539* New version 8 of the 3d format:
1540
1541  + Supports new flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
1542
1543  + New explicit file-wide flag for 'this is an extended elevation', rather
1544    than modifying the survey title to indicate this.
1545
1546  + The survey prefix is often unchanged from one leg to the next, so use a
1547    spare flag to compactly indicate when there's no label change.
1548
1549  + The data style of each leg is now stored.
1550
1551  + The "processed at" time is stored as seconds since 1970 rather than a
1552    human-readable string.
1553
1554  + Since 3d v8 features significant changes to the format, the format
1555    documentation for v7 and earlier has been split off into 3dformat-old.htm.
1556
1557* img library:
1558
1559  + New station flags img_SFLAG_ANON and img_SFLAG_WALL.
1560
1561  + Handle .pos files containing unnamed stations - don't suck the next line in
1562    as the station name, and set img_SFLAG_ANON for them.
1563
1564  + Repurpose the long unused fBinary parameter to img_open_write() as a flags
1565    parameter, and add img_FFLAG_EXTENDED to specify that this is an extended
1566    elevation, in place of appending " (extended)" to the title.  Internally we
1567    still append this to the title (and remove it upon reading) when writing
1568    3d v7 or earlier, but for the new 3d v8 format, this flag is stored
1569    explicitly in the file.
1570
1571  + img.h: Add comments for the lists of "Leg flags" and "Station flags".
1572
1573* aven:
1574
1575  + We now require at least wxWidgets 2.8.0 - it was released over 6 years ago
1576    now, and the wx developers consider even 2.8 to be rather long in the
1577    tooth.  We stopped testing building with wxWidgets 2.6 some time ago, and
1578    formally dropping support for older versions allows a number of workarounds
1579    to be removed from the aven source code.  Also, features deprecated in
1580    wxWidgets 2.9 are no longer used in our code.
1581
1582  + Don't run incremental search on every key-press, as on a slow machine the
1583    short initial search(es) will take a while but not be useful.  Instead only
1584    actually run the search when we're told there are no more key-presses
1585    queued up.
1586
1587  + Implement support for including cross-section information in exported SVG
1588    and DXF files (ticket#4).  The DXF export is untested currently.
1589
1590  + Show splay legs faded by default, with menu options to hide them or show
1591    them like other legs.
1592
1593  + Speed up loading a .3d file with cross-sections by using a map to convert
1594    station names to positions.
1595
1596  + In the cavern log window, don't highlight a file:linenumber if there's no
1597    message after it, which avoids highlighting the "Included from" lines
1598    wrongly.
1599
1600  + Fix not to crash when trying to report an error while starting up.
1601
1602  + (MacOS X version): Change the menu shortcut for "Full Screen Mode" to be
1603    the OS X standard shortcut Shift-Command-F (previously we used F11, but
1604    that's used by the desktop).
1605
1606  + Add checks for errors when reading the font file.
1607
1608  + Remove useless extra quoting when invoking vim to show the location of an
1609    error from cavern.
1610
1611  + Include GL/gl.h before GL/glext.h (needed on Debian wheezy).
1612
1613  + Use wxValidator to simplify keeping svxPrintDlg member variables and fields
1614    in the dialog in sync.
1615
1616* cavern:
1617
1618  + Demote errors about invalid dates to warnings, since we've accepted *date
1619    for ages without any checks on the value, and so existing datasets
1620    probably contain invalid dates and dates in other formats.  (ticket#19)
1621
1622  + New *alias command allows '-' to be mapped to '..' for compatibility with
1623    pocket topo: *alias station - ..
1624
1625  + We want to warn if there's a clino reading which it would be impossible to
1626    have read from the instrument (e.g. on a -90 to 90 degree scale you can't
1627    read "93" (it's probably a typo e.g. for "39").  However, the gradient
1628    reading from a topofil is typically in the range 0 to 180, with 90 being
1629    horizontal.  Really we should allow the valid range to be explicitly
1630    specified, but for now we infer it from the zero error - if this is within
1631    45 degrees of 90 then we assume the instrument can read between 0 and 180
1632    degrees.
1633
1634  + If the survey isn't all connected, still run survey tree checks and report
1635    errors and/or warnings which might suggest typo locations.  Thanks to Kevin
1636    Dixon for the report which highlighted this issue.
1637
1638  + Report a warning if *begin SURVEY has a separator character in SURVEY.
1639
1640  + Report column numbers as well as line numbers for some cavern errors and
1641    warnings.
1642
1643  + Adjust width of node stats table to fit longest count when there are more
1644    than 9999 of a particular order of node.
1645
1646  + If the argument to *include has an opening double quote but the closing
1647    double quote is missing, then skip trying to open the file.
1648
1649  + Move "Station X referred to just once" warning after non-existent survey
1650    check - if both fire, the non-existent survey error is likely to be more
1651    relevant.
1652
1653  + We no longer follow an error for a bad reading in passage data with a bogus
1654    "End of line not blank" error, but instead check the remaining readings on
1655    the same line.
1656
1657  + We no longer follow an error about OMIT for a required reading with a bogus
1658    "End of line not blank" error.
1659
1660  + Report an error if the scale factor in *calibrate is zero - it doesn't make
1661    sense and probably means someone reversed the arguments to *calibrate.
1662
1663  + Report the parent include files starting from the outermost, as that's more
1664    logical when there are multiple levels involved.
1665
1666  + If we were expecting a numeric field and instead get something which starts
1667    with '+', '-', or '.' but which isn't a number, then fix the error to
1668    include that character in the token reported.
1669
1670  + Simplify handling of quantity lists to only recognise 'DEFAULT' as the
1671    first item.
1672
1673* cad3d: Check for errors from img_rewind() and report them.
1674
1675* dump3d:
1676
1677  + Build, install and package dump3d as standard - it's useful for grabbing
1678    info from 3d files in scripts.
1679
1680  + Add --show-dates option.
1681
1682  + Show only 2 decimal places on coordinates and passage dimensions.
1683
1684  + Report the data style of legs.
1685
1686  + Report if the file is an extended elevation.
1687
1688  + Report img_STOP as STOP rather than CODE_0xffffffff.
1689
1690* Test suite:
1691
1692  + cavern.tst: Fix equatenosuchstn testcase (added in 1.2.6) to normalise the
1693    expected output so it passes reliably.
1694
1695  + cavern.tst: Run diffpos <expected> <actual> so the reports of 'Added' and
1696    'Deleted' stations upon failure are the more natural way round.
1697
1698  + Add more testcases, expand some existing testcases, and add expected output
1699    for more.
1700
1701* (Microsoft Windows version): Use wx-config's --cc and --cxx flags to find the
1702  appropriate C and C++ compilers to use, and link mingw build statically to
1703  avoid needing the libgcc DLL (which newer GCC seems to have by default).
1704
1705* (Unix version): When determining the character set for command-line tools,
1706  check environmental variable LANG after LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.
1707
1708* When determining the language, check environmental variable LC_ALL before
1709  LC_MESSAGES and LANG (but after SURVEXLANG).
1710
1711* If we don't find the message file, only give an error if it was specified
1712  with SURVEXLANG, since that is an explicit instruction to Survex, whereas
1713  LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES are essentially system "preferred locale"
1714  settings.
1715
1716* There are a handful of hard-coded English message strings for reporting
1717  errors trying loading message files, etc.  These are all now ASCII, as if we
1718  fail trying to open a message file, it's more likely the encoding isn't
1719  set correctly.
1720
1721* Prune strings we are no longer using and are probably unlikely to use again
1722  into a new file po_codes_dead, so that translators don't get presented with
1723  them to translate.
1724
1725* Merge lots of translation updates.  Most translations are now complete or
1726  close to complete.
1727
1728* Add start of Indonesian translation from Arief Setiadi Wibowo.
1729
1730* Fix various compiler warnings when building from source.
1731
1732* Include scripts gdtconvert and gen_img2aven in the source distribution.
1733
1734Changes in 1.2.6 (2012-02-23):
1735
1736* (Mac OS X version): Fix so that cavern finds its messages when run by aven.
1737
1738* (Microsoft Windows version): Include JPEG images for aven in the installer
1739  package (ticket#35).
1740
1741* cavern: If we have a reference to a station in a non-existent survey, give a
1742  helpful error rather than saying the station hasn't been exported from the
1743  survey.  (Bug reported by Martin Green via email)
1744
1745* aven: Fix to build with a non-Unicode wxWidgets library.  Patch from Olaf
1746  Kahler.
1747
1748* findentrances: Add findentrances utility from Olaf Kahler which produces a
1749  .gpx file with waypoints for entrances.  This needs libproj so is disabled
1750  by default for this release - to enable it install the development stuff for
1751  libproj and build survex with:
1752
1753      make FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1754      make install FINDENTRANCES=findentrances
1755
1756* dump3d: Add support for showing img_ERROR_INFO items.
1757
1758* doc/3dformat.htm: Merge in some improvements from Mike McCombe.
1759
1760* Incorporate a French translation from launchpad I'd previously copied the
1761  English version of by mistake.  Attempt to correct mistranslation of "survey
1762  file".
1763
1764Changes in 1.2.5 (2012-01-03):
1765
1766* aven:
1767
1768  + The survey tree in the left panel is now in sorted order once more.
1769
1770  + No longer fails with an assertion if used for a long time (we were leaking
1771    an OpenGL list each time one had to be regenerated).
1772
1773  + Now builds with newer FFmpeg library.
1774
1775  + Draw measuring line in front of the indicators rather than behind them.
1776
1777  + Loading a new file (or reloading the current one) no longer invalidates
1778    the OpenGL lists for the compass and clino, so will be a fraction faster.
1779
1780* Improve handling of attempts to look up translated messages before the
1781  message subsystem is fully initialised (which only happens if there's an
1782  error early on).
1783
1784* Improve the survex(7) man page text, and fix it to be marked as section 7 in
1785  the man page source as well as in the filename.
1786
1787Changes in 1.2.4 (2012-01-01):
1788
1789* aven:
1790
1791  + A change in 1.2.3 meant that aven tried to use OpenGL before it was
1792    initialised, which doesn't cause problems in some machines, but causes aven
1793    to abort on others.  This is now fixed, and there's a check in place to
1794    help avoid similar issues in future. (ticket#34)
1795
1796  + Always use metres or feet for the depth colour key, and chose a consistent
1797    precision by looking at the depth range. (ticket#30)
1798
1799  + Show the depth units below the colour bar rather than after every value.
1800
1801  + When zooming way in, stay in metres rather than switching to cm.
1802
1803  + On the scale bar, say “1 mile” rather than “1 miles”.
1804
1805* Translation updates for Catalan, French and Slovak.
1806
1807Changes in 1.2.3 (2011-12-31):
1808
1809* Fix to build with wxWidgets 2.9.2.
1810
1811* (Mac OS X version):
1812
1813  + Processing .svx files from aven now works.
1814
1815  + Remove spurious blank lines from the licence text in "Get Info".
1816
1817  + Don't create the help menu at all, as it is empty (because the "About"
1818    entry goes elsewhere) and sometimes seems to appear in the UI.
1819
1820  + INSTALL.OSX: Update to reflect current status.
1821
1822* aven:
1823
1824  + Fix Y coordinates of surface surveys on printouts.  (Closes #32)
1825
1826  + Improvements to text plotted on the survey pane:
1827
1828    - Support plotting Unicode character points > 256 by lazily loading the
1829      data for them from the font file and plotting them with a direct call to
1830      glBitmap(), which is slower but doesn't require a display list per
1831      character.
1832
1833    - Adjust the spacing from fixed width to putting a one pixel gap either
1834      side of each one character (so two between adjacent glyphs).  Mostly this
1835      reduces the horizontal width, but it adds a pixel for characters like "m"
1836      and two in a few cases.
1837
1838    - Fix .pixelfont file generation to correctly handle characters wider than
1839      8 pixels.
1840
1841  + Fix expected cross shape so don't always reject using texture mapping to
1842    draw crosses.
1843
1844  + As we read a survey file, eliminate tubes consisting of zero XSECTs as well
1845    as those consisting of just one.  Previously we would trip over the empty
1846    tube later.  Such tubes can for example be created by extend if a splay shot
1847    is the start or end of a tube.
1848
1849  + Make the green colour used for entrances in the survey tree the same
1850    (slightly darker than before) green used for the entrance blobs.
1851
1852  + Report the version of the library we're actually running with if built
1853    against wx >= 2.9.2.  Make it clear that the version reported is the
1854    version *built* with for wx < 2.9.2.
1855
1856* extend:
1857
1858  + Copy the end markers for passage tubes.
1859
1860  + Preserve left and right data for tubes (previously they were set to -1.0
1861    which means "no info").
1862
1863* img library: Fix incorrect comment in img.h which claimed that img_XFLAG_END
1864  was no longer used - it certainly is!
1865
1866* Use curly double quotes instead of "`" and "'" to quote filenames, etc in
1867  messages, and curly single right quote instead of straight ASCII apostrophe.
1868  Fall back to using straight ASCII versions if we can't represent them in the
1869  current character set.
1870
1871* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Slovak and Spanish.
1872
1873* Test suite:
1874
1875  + Add test coverage for interleaved diving data.
1876
1877  + Add testcase for diving data with topofil-style distance.
1878
1879Changes in 1.2.2 (2011-10-06):
1880
1881* aven:
1882
1883  + Replace the textured-mapped font drawing with an approach based on
1884    glBitmap.  This doesn't suffer from the character alignment issues which
1885    the textured-mapped fonts had, and is actually significantly faster on some
1886    machines.  The current font used is (mostly) fixed-width, but this isn't an
1887    inherent limitation - it was just the easiest font data to convert to a
1888    usable format.
1889
1890  + Fix assertion failure due to rounding differences on loading certain .3d
1891    files.  (ticket#26)
1892
1893  + Fix assertion failure when turning on 3D passages if they stick out higher
1894    or lower than any station.  (ticket#29)
1895
1896  + Fix grid not to disappear when blobs are turned on and blobs are drawn
1897    using lines.
1898
1899  + If a degree sign isn't available in the character set in use, transliterate
1900    it to 'dg' rather than skipping it.
1901
1902  + Fix message which should have been a degree sign but got lost in the format
1903    change for 1.2.0 and then got reassigned in 1.2.1.  Externally, this means
1904    that bearings in the status bar now have a degree sign after them if they
1905    are in degrees rather than nothing (1.2.0) or "&Hide Compass" (1.2.1).
1906
1907  + Fix print dialog to calculate the scale required for "One page" right
1908    before it calculates how many pages are required, so we don't end up
1909    something other than 1x1 being shown when the user changes settings.
1910
1911  + Update the calculations for picking a scale and for deciding how many
1912    pages are needed to take into account the change in info box height made
1913    in 1.2.1.
1914
1915Changes in 1.2.1 (2011-10-04):
1916
1917* Translation updates for US English.
1918
1919* aven:
1920
1921  + Rename the "depth bar" to "colour key" in documentation, menus, etc since
1922    it now shows colours for dates and errors as well as depths.
1923
1924  + In the colour key for "colour by date", change "No info" to "Undated".
1925
1926  + Remove the dark grey background from the colour key and just put a single
1927    pixel black border around the colours.  This is more in keeping with the
1928    other controls, and means the colours are now on a black background so more
1929    visually similar to the survey legs.
1930
1931  + Move the colour key's "Undated"/"Not in loop" entry down a little to
1932    improve the appearance.  Make each section a pixel taller.
1933
1934  + Allow "Colour by X" to be selected even if there's no data for X or only a
1935    single value of X used (the colour key is much smaller in these cases, and
1936    does still provide some useful information).
1937
1938  + Fix incorrect calculation of depth colouring for survey legs which straddle
1939    a depth band boundary.
1940
1941  + The scale bar, compass, clino, and colour key now all have right click
1942    menus which allow related actions to be performed (especially handy in
1943    full-screen mode).
1944
1945  + Improve the font used on the survey pane - it now contains the '-'
1946    character (so the clino now shows negative angles as negative, and dates
1947    in the colour key are now hyphenated).  Also the spacing and alignment
1948    are a little better, though still not perfect.
1949
1950  + PLT file export now handles spaces and control characters in station names
1951    by escaping them with '%' as in URLs.
1952
1953  + Pressing "Enter" on a station in the tree control now centres the view on
1954    that station.
1955
1956  + The scale bar is now cached in an OpenGL display list since it often gets
1957    redrawn exactly the same - for example, when rotating, panning, etc.
1958
1959  + Pressing "F5" forces all cached OpenGL drawing lists to be invalidated and
1960    then forces a refresh of the survey pane.  This is intended as a debugging
1961    aid - if pressing F5 changes the display at all then there's a missing case
1962    where a list should have been invalidated (please report if you find such
1963    a case as it is a bug).
1964
1965  + We now automatically track which OpenGL display lists need to be
1966    invalidated on window width or height changes.
1967
1968  + Increase scale bar maximum width from 65% of the window width to 75% as it
1969    was in 1.0.x (except that if that would overlap the clino we now reduce
1970    that proportion down until it reaches 50%).  Make the limit of zooming in
1971    the same as in 1.0.x.  (ticket#23)
1972
1973  + (Linux version): Previously wxGTK didn't really handle showing a dialog if
1974    the application was fullscreen (the dialog got opened under the main
1975    window!)  To work around this, aven would switch out of full screen mode
1976    temporarily while showing a dialog.  This case works properly with recent
1977    wxGTK, so disable our workaround with versions we know work.  Also, apply
1978    the workaround only for wxGTK, not everywhere except on Microsoft Windows
1979    as there's no reason to think we need it for other platforms.
1980
1981  + Grey out the "View North" action when we're already viewing North, and
1982    similarly for other compass points.
1983
1984  + (Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows versions): Fix missing newline to OpenGL
1985    info in the "About" dialog.
1986
1987  + Fix to set the correct filename on the root of the survey tree - previously
1988    the filename of the previous file loaded was used!
1989
1990  + The movie export code now works with newer versions of the FFmpeg libraries
1991    as well as still working with older versions.
1992
1993  + Fix mixed up messages - the print dialog now says "View" on the left
1994    subgroup of controls rather than some unrelated message.
1995
1996  + On printouts, combine the "Plan View"/"Elevation" info box field with the
1997    field which gives the bearing and reduce the height on the info box by the
1998    removed field, so it's now 3cm for plans and elevations, as for extended
1999    elevations.  Report the tilt angle for tilted elevations which it seems has
2000    been missing for ages (it's not in recent 1.0.x either).
2001
2002  + Tweak the exact positioning of informational text on printouts to look
2003    nicer and make better use of the available space.
2004
2005  + Add keyboard mnemonics to the "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in the print
2006    dialog.
2007
2008  + Make the sign of the tilt angle for printouts consistent with the sign
2009    shown by the "clino" in the survey pane.
2010
2011  + In the "Print" dialog, when in plan view disable the "Plan view" button,
2012    and similarly for the "Elevation" button.
2013
2014  + (Microsoft Windows version): Sort out appearance of custom cursors.
2015
2016  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8 or CP1252, fall back to ISO8859-1.
2017
2018  + (Mac OS X version): F11 puts aven into full screen mode, but apparently
2019    you can't get out again easily, so add code to explicitly check for F11
2020    being pressed and toggle full screen.
2021
2022* (Linux version): Fix the RPM .spec file for where man pages now get installed
2023  and package aven.svg and the vim support files.  (Fixes from James Begley)
2024
2025* "make check" now performs several checks on the translation files.
2026
2027* More messages are now available to be translated.
2028
2029* cavern: Fix reporting of ranges of survey coordinates, which was broken by
2030  the message handling changes in 1.2.0.
2031
2032* Fix warning when compiling with GCC.
2033
2034* INSTALL: Mention building wxWidgets with --enable-unicode.  Mention using
2035  sudo for installing on Unix.
2036
2037* In the manual, replace the instructions for building from source with a
2038  pointer to the clearer instructions in INSTALL.
2039
2040* In the manual, make it clear that installing with administrator rights
2041  also applies to newer platforms than XP.
2042
2043* doc/TODO.htm: Update.
2044
2045Changes in 1.2.0 (2011-09-20):
2046
2047* Translation updates for Catalan, French, Romanian, Spanish, Slovak, and US
2048  English.
2049
2050* tests/smoke.tst: aven no longer requires an X display for --help or
2051  --version, so replace skip of this check with a check that this remains the
2052  case.
2053
2054* We now use the standard .po and .pot file formats for storing translations
2055  (rather than the Survex-specific messages.txt format), and then translate
2056  these into Survex's .msg format.
2057
2058* (Unix version): Move survex man page to section 7 (since it isn't documenting
2059  an actual command).
2060
2061* (Unix version): Write each generated man page to a temporary file, then
2062  atomically rename, to avoid leaving an empty or partial man page behind if
2063  docbook-to-man dies (1.1.16 had an empty cad3d.1, and we want to avoid a
2064  recurrence of that).
2065
2066* (Unix version): Default to installing docs into /usr/share/doc/survex rather
2067  than /usr/doc/survex.
2068
2069* aven:
2070
2071  + Fix handling of accented characters in the survey pane.
2072
2073  + Aven icon redrawn in SVG format - it's now a vector image which looks
2074    nicer at larger sizes.
2075
2076  + Explicitly request double-buffering, which seems to be needed for systems
2077    with GLX >= 1.3.
2078
2079  + Fix crash while trying to load certain .3d files.
2080
2081  + Movie export code updated to work with more recent versions of FFmpeg.
2082    Currently this is disabled in Microsoft Windows builds, pending getting the
2083    required libraries set up for building releases.
2084
2085  + Reporting of errors during movie export improved.
2086
2087  + Force playback speed to "x1" during movie export.
2088
2089  + Use stock IDs for buttons where appropriate - such buttons may now be
2090    rendered with icons on some platforms.
2091
2092  + If a label isn't valid UTF-8, treat it as CP1252 (the Microsoft superset of
2093    ISO8859-1).
2094
2095  + (Unix version): Remove special handling for toggling "full screen" on wxGTK
2096    as it's no longer required with modern versions.
2097
2098  + Don't redraw the survey on every mouse movement in the survey pane unless
2099    the measuring line is (or just was) active.  (ticket #17)
2100
2101* cavern:
2102
2103  + Drop "non-fatal" from the report of how many errors there were at the end
2104    of the run - it just confuses users - we won't even get here if there's a
2105    fatal error!
2106
2107  + Add --3d-version option to allow the user to specify the version of the 3d
2108    format to output.  (ticket#21)
2109
2110* img library:
2111
2112  + Make the highest and lowest valid values for img_output_version available
2113    in img.h as IMG_VERSION_MIN and IMG_VERSION_MAX.
2114
2115* (Mac OS X version): Fix buildmacosx.sh script to check where the temporary
2116  volume actually gets mounted.  Fix URL for downloading wxWidgets.
2117
2118Changes in 1.1.16 (2011-05-16):
2119
2120* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian
2121  Portuguese, and US English.
2122
2123* Use horizontal ellipses character rather than '...' and right arrow character
2124  rather than '->' where these characters are available.
2125
2126* (Unix version): Link with -lGL, if it exists, to support linking with gold or
2127  GNU ld --as-needed (Debian bug #615781).
2128
2129* img.c:
2130
2131  + Fix code typo for IMG_API_VERSION == 0 case.
2132
2133  + Fix code typo in code used when IMG_HOSTED isn't defined.
2134
2135* doc/TODO.htm: Remove entries which have now been done.
2136
2137* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: We now include all the available
2138  translations for messages from wxWidgets, which means that standard widgets
2139  will appear translated where available even if Survex messages aren't
2140  translated.
2141
2142Changes in 1.1.15 (2010-10-15):
2143
2144* aven:
2145
2146  + In the cavern log window, change the "Rerun" button to "Reprocess" to
2147    follow terminology in manual and elsewhere.  Fixes ticket#15.
2148
2149  + When displaying output from cavern, don't update the window after every
2150    line, but only when we don't have data from cavern pending.  Hopefully
2151    addresses ticket#12.
2152
2153  + If we aren't using GL_POINTS for blobs, draw them using a series of
2154    abutting lines rather than with gluDisk which is faster and gives a
2155    consistent shape.
2156
2157  + Check whether blobs and crosses actually render correctly as points/point
2158    sprites, and if they don't, fall back to drawing them with lines.  The
2159    best method is cached on disk, and rechecked automatically if the graphics
2160    hardware is changed or the drivers upgraded.
2161
2162  + Fix non-USE_FNT case to work again (it's limited to ISO-8859-1 characters
2163    though, so we still enable USE_FNT by default).
2164
2165  + Don't offer "All files" wildcard in presentation save dialog.
2166
2167  + (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters in in
2168    more places.
2169
2170  + (Microsoft Windows): Quote filenames with spaces and metacharacters in
2171    when running cavern from aven.  Fixes ticket#11.
2172
2173* editwrap: (Microsoft Windows): Handle filenames with non-Latin1 characters.
2174
2175* diffpos: Handle files with duplicate labels in better - extend generates
2176  duplicate labels when it breaks a loop.
2177
2178* Enable eswap-break testcase now that diffpos handles duplicate station names.
2179
2180* New v7 of .3d format which stores survey dates as number of days since
2181  January 1st 1900, so we now support dates from 1900-2078 (rather than
2182  1970-2037) with a smaller file size.  The img API is now versioned - you
2183  can select the new "version 1" by compiling with -DIMG_API_VERSION=1, which
2184  gives the survey dates in days in days1 and days2 instead of as time_t
2185  values in date1 and date2.  Fixes ticket#14.
2186
2187* Consistently use http://survex.com/ rather than http://www.survex.com/ - the
2188  former has been the canonical name for some time, with www.survex.com just
2189  redirecting to it.
2190
2191* (Unix version): Use unlocked file I/O if available, which can be much faster
2192  in some cases (we don't need the locking as we don't do multithreaded file
2193  I/O).
2194
2195* (Mac version): Fix compilation failure due to clash with Point in Mac OS X
2196  headers.
2197
2198* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh now works again.
2199
2200* Most tests weren't actually running any testcases (looks like a sh
2201  portability issue).  This is now fixed, and fortunately all tests still pass.
2202
2203* Include the extra .isl translation files for Innosetup in the source archive.
2204
2205Changes in 1.1.14 (2010-07-26):
2206
2207* Restore compatibility with wxWidgets 2.6 (1.1.13 required wxWidgets 2.8).
2208
2209* aven:
2210
2211  + After processing survey data, if there were warnings or errors, add a
2212    "Rerun" button to allow easy reprocessing after fixing problems.  If there
2213    were only warnings, also add an "OK" button to allow moving on to viewing
2214    the processed survey data (fixes ticket#13).
2215
2216  + Optimise updating of the cavern log window (hopefully fixes ticket#12).
2217
2218  + Fix links in cavern log window to link from exactly '<file>:<line>' (and
2219    not the ': ' after), and to make the title for the terminal the
2220    warning/error message.  Avoid false positives by checking that '<line>' is
2221    a number.
2222
2223  + Don't double escape the contents of href and target in links in the cavern
2224    log window.
2225
2226  + Improve handling of the splitter window, fixing behavioural glitches in
2227    various cases.
2228
2229  + Highlight stations matching any current search when a file is loaded.
2230    (ticket#9)
2231
2232  + (Mac version): Fix build issue due to Mac OS X polluting the global
2233    namespace with its own "Point" class.
2234
2235  + (Unix version): The Gnome print dialog has its own preview window so
2236    suppress ours if using the Gnome one.
2237
2238  + (Unix version): Link aven with -lGLU which SuSE Linux needs.
2239
2240  + (Microsoft Windows version): Fix handling of a double-click on the survey
2241    tree when built with wxWidgets >= 2.8.11.
2242
2243* cavern: Report relevant file and line number for three warnings which didn't
2244  give them before.
2245
2246* (Unix and Mac versions): configure: Update the wx-config probing code -
2247  wxmac-config etc aren't present with newer wxWidgets versions so there's no
2248  point looking for them now.
2249
2250* (Mac version): buildmacosx.sh: This script builds a diskimage with Survex in
2251  for easy installation.  Update it to work with the latest Survex versions
2252  (use WX_CONFIG not WXCONFIG; use a Unicode build of wxWidgets; if building a
2253  private wxWidgets, use 2.8.11 not 2.7.0-1).
2254
2255* manual:
2256
2257  + Correctly capitalise "GTK".
2258
2259  + Note that on Linux we only regularly test builds with the GTK+ version
2260    (change taken from 1.0).
2261
2262* Fixed the cad3d man page, which was an empty file in 1.1.13.
2263
2264Changes in 1.1.13 (2010-06-16):
2265
2266* Say "wxWidgets" instead of "wxWindows" consistently.
2267
2268* img.c: Fix small memory leak (filename_opened member).
2269
2270* cad3d, aven: Fix export to SVG when a label contains a '%' character.
2271
2272* aven:
2273
2274  + wxWidgets 2.6.0 or newer is now required.
2275
2276  + A "Unicode" build of wxWidgets is now supported.  An "ANSI" build may still
2277    work but hasn't been tested recently (all packaged versions of wxWidgets
2278    seem to be Unicode now).
2279
2280  + Fix potential uses of uninitialised variables which may have been causing
2281    occasional glitches when loading a file on start-up.
2282
2283  + Improvements to the handling of the font used for plotting labels and other
2284    text on the survey pane:
2285
2286    - Loading the font file is more efficient.
2287
2288    - Character spacing is improved.
2289
2290    - Default font is now anti-aliased.
2291
2292  + "About" dialog:
2293
2294    - Add "Copy" button to copy the system info to the clipboard for easier
2295      bug reporting.
2296
2297    - List OpenGL extensions last, since there are usually lots of them with a
2298      modern gfx card.
2299
2300    - Fix 100% CPU usage while the "About" dialog is open.
2301
2302  + Processing .svx files:
2303
2304    - Passing a .svx file on the command line now works better.
2305
2306    - Put the survey data log window in a splitter in the usual frame rather
2307      than opening a separate frame for it.
2308
2309    - Auto-scroll the log window until we've reported a warning or error.
2310
2311    - Fix small memory leak.
2312
2313  + The presentation filename now defaults to using the basename of the
2314    currently loaded dataset, but we always prompt before we first save with
2315    such a name.
2316
2317  + Reduce memory usage when saving a screenshot.
2318
2319  + Allow "Toggle Fullscreen" to work even if no survey is loaded now that we
2320    persist the window size (and maximised or fullscreen state) between
2321    invocations.
2322
2323  + Fix reporting of OpenGL errors.
2324
2325  + Fix glitches when tilting while looking East.
2326
2327  + Added Portuguese and Slovak translations of wxWidgets messages.
2328
2329* Documentation:
2330
2331  + Rationalise manual formats - replace PostScript with PDF and drop RTF.
2332
2333  + Drop the "alternative manual formats" self-extracting zip file - people
2334    will generally just want one of the formats, so downloading several
2335    together isn't very useful.
2336
2337  + 3dformat.htm: Update for v6 format (thanks to Mike McCombe).
2338
2339  + GPL.htm: Replace HTML version of licence with a link to the version on
2340    the FSF website.
2341
2342  + ChngeLog.htm: Stop generating an HTML version of the ChangeLog - it's too
2343    low level to be of interest to non-developers, and developers can look at
2344    the source code.
2345
2346* (Unix version): configure: New preferred name for specifying wx-config script
2347  is WX_CONFIG.  WXCONFIG still supported for compatibility.
2348
2349* (Linux version): Source RPM package dropped as you can just build an RPM
2350  package from the source tarball.
2351
2352* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer is now created with a newer
2353  version of InnoSetup, which gives a 10% smaller download.
2354
2355Changes in 1.1.12 (2007-02-07):
2356
2357* aven:
2358
2359  + Remember the window size or maximised/fullscreen state between invocations.
2360
2361  + Add options dialog to "Export" similar to the one for "Print".
2362
2363  + The "number of pages required" in the print dialog now updates when you
2364    change what is to be shown (underground legs/surface legs/station
2365    names/crosses).
2366
2367Changes in 1.1.11 (2006-11-25):
2368
2369* Updated Czech, Spanish, and Slovak translations.
2370
2371* (MacOS X version): Assorted OS X specific tweaks and fixes.
2372
2373* aven:
2374
2375  + Pick a smaller and clearer font for labels.
2376
2377  + Fix character spacing.
2378
2379  + Tweak display of bearing and elevation angles to look nicer with
2380    proportional fonts.
2381
2382  + Use the title from the 3d (or plt, etc) file for the window title
2383    rather than the filename.
2384
2385  + Show distances to 2 decimal places rather than the nearest integer.
2386
2387  + Only consider underground legs when calculating the depth bands and
2388    depth colouring.
2389
2390  + Add "Colour by Error".
2391
2392  + Add entry for "white" in date and error keys.
2393
2394  + When setting the view to a single point, don't change the scale.
2395
2396  + If reloading the same file, don't change the view
2397
2398  + Fix filetypes selector in open dialog.
2399
2400  + Fix the charset we use for aven in certain cases.
2401
2402  + Call msg_init before using msg_lang or it won't ever be set!
2403
2404  + Pass wx the full language code to initialise the C library locale.
2405
2406  + Fix bug in generating prefix tree view which could lead to a bogus
2407    leading dot on some survey names (bug probably introduced in 1.1.10).
2408
2409  + "New Presentation" now ensures that the side panel is open
2410
2411  + Fix updating of cached opengl lists when the view is reset to the
2412    default.
2413
2414* Ignore LANG if it starts with a digit to avoid problems with bogus value for
2415  LANG which AutoCAD installation seems to set on MS Windows.
2416
2417* (Unix version): configure: Allow SGMLTOOLS and DOCBOOK_TO_MAN to be
2418  specified.  Either/both can be set to ":".
2419
2420* dump3d: Report unknown (to dump3d) codes returned by img.
2421
2422* img library: Flag all stations as underground in the old "ASCII" .3d format.
2423
2424Changes in 1.1.10 (2006-07-14):
2425
2426* aven: Clicking on a survey name in the survey tree now highlights it in
2427  the map view.  Double-clicking zooms the view to show the clicked survey
2428  highlighted.  Clicking the root clears the highlighting and double-clicking
2429  the root restores the default view.  To expand/collapse a branch, click
2430  on the "[+]" or "[-]" icon to the left of the survey name.
2431
2432* aven: The measuring line can now measure to anywhere in plan or elevation
2433  view (not just to a station!)  In plan view the horizontal distance and
2434  bearing are shown, while in elevation view the vertical distance is shown.
2435
2436* aven: Moving the mouse over a station in the survey view now highlights
2437  that station in the survey tree (though it may not be visible if the
2438  survey(s) it is in aren't expanded).
2439
2440* aven: Clicking on a station to centre the view now moves the mouse pointer
2441  to the new location of the station (except on Mac OS X where this isn't
2442  allowed).
2443
2444* aven: Fix which presentation toolbar buttons are shown as depressed.
2445
2446* Fix infinite loop reading 3d files with LRUD data (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
2447
2448* vim files are now installed with the correct paths (bug introduced in 1.1.9).
2449
2450Changes in 1.1.9 (2006-07-04):
2451
2452* (Unix version): Install desktop files for aven and svxedit contributed to the
2453  Ubuntu package by Phil Bull, and corresponding pixmaps.
2454
2455* Fix img to filter out cross-sections which don't match the subsurvey (if
2456  specified).  The API now returns img_XSECT_END to mark the end of a
2457  passage rather than setting a flag on the last img_XSECT of the passage.
2458
2459* Enhance integration with the vim editor - this can now colour .err files, run
2460  cavern from vim and parse error output, and run aven from vim.  Tweak the
2461  existing vim mode for .svx files to fix a few minor bugs and add support for
2462  the new "*data passage" style.
2463
2464* aven: fix drawing of the "blob" end of the measuring line on graphics cards
2465  which can't draw large enough blobs for us.
2466
2467* aven: sort out confusion about what encoding everything is in which means
2468  that the distance measured by the measuring line actually gets displayed
2469  and also fixes problems with empty menu items in non-English locales in
2470  some cases.
2471
2472* aven: redraw grey background after a menu is closed over the aven window
2473  with no survey loaded.
2474
2475* aven: fix bug which caused printing to crash (introduced in 1.1.8).
2476
2477* aven: avoid crash on some machines when opening "About" dialog before having
2478  loaded a survey.
2479
2480* aven: Translate "Plan" and "Elevation" buttons in print view dialog.
2481
2482* (Unix version): aven: Fix character set handling of cavern output.
2483
2484* cavern: Report an error if a cross-section is specified for a station which
2485  doesn't exist.
2486
2487* Updated French and Italian translations.
2488
2489* (Unix version): aven: Fix "Can't open message file `en_US' using path
2490  `${prefix}/share/survex'" error.
2491
2492* Fix bug in 3d file reading on 64 bit platforms when used in STANDALONE mode
2493  (doesn't affect Survex itself, but other applications which use img.c should
2494  update their copy).
2495
2496* (Unix version): Add checks that wxWidgets is a non-unicode version (wx 2.6
2497  and later are caught by configure, whereas older wx versions are caught when
2498  trying to compile).
2499
2500Changes in 1.1.8 (2006.06.30):
2501
2502* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0
2503  (which was released on 2003-01-07).
2504
2505* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section
2506  of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")
2507  has been disabled.
2508
2509* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.
2510  The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and
2511  left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same
2512  time.
2513
2514* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing
2515  "Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the
2516  highlighted stations.
2517
2518* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.
2519
2520* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like
2521  the tilt from plan to elevation.
2522
2523* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and
2524  presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".
2525
2526* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven
2527  will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as
2528  icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).
2529
2530* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell
2531  if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)
2532
2533* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.
2534
2535* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.
2536
2537* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.
2538
2539* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if
2540  run by an unprivileged user.
2541
2542* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the
2543  installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for
2544  UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.
2545
2546* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese
2547  translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).
2548
2549* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.
2550
2551* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey.  Also updates to German,
2552  Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.
2553
2554* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running
2555  (it was meant to but the code had a bug).
2556
2557* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error
2558  if it isn't.
2559
2560* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working
2561  X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).
2562
2563* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user
2564  selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".
2565
2566* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not
2567  reset to default view as well).
2568
2569* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is
2570  empty.
2571
2572* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight
2573  up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.
2574
2575* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility.  Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,
2576  Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,
2577  Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.
2578
2579* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers
2580  and non-zero width lines.
2581
2582* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data
2583  was turned on.
2584
2585* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it
2586  not always being fully written.
2587
2588Changes in 1.1.7 (2005.10.18):
2589
2590* cavern: Add validity checking for dates in *date commands (with feature
2591  test in testsuite).  A date entered as just "year" or "year.month" now
2592  becomes a date range for the relevant period (previously it became a single
2593  date near the middle of that period).
2594
2595* extend: Fixed 2 uninitialised flags (should fix erratic behaviour on
2596  with MS Windows).
2597
2598* extend: Default output name for a file called input.3d is now input_extend.3d
2599  rather than just extend.3d (which was annoying if you wanted to extend
2600  several surveys in the same directory).
2601
2602* aven: OpenGL 2.0 always includes support for point sprites so rework
2603  our check for them to include that knowledge.
2604
2605* aven: Regenerate depth bar if user switches to/from metric units.
2606
2607* aven: Don't clear the "there" mark just because the mouse pointer has
2608  moved off a station.
2609
2610* aven: When processing a .svx file, put the resultant .3d file in the
2611  same directory (since that's where we then try to load it from).
2612
2613* aven: Fix labelling of date colouring on 32 bit platforms.
2614
2615* aven: If "colour by date" is on and we load a survey with no date info
2616  (or all surveyed on the same date) then set "colour by none".
2617
2618* aven: Make the error dialog modal and remove a signal handler once it
2619  has fired to prevent endless (or seemingly endless) cascades of error
2620  dialogs.
2621
2622* aven: Enforce a minimum object volume diameter of 1m to avoid problems
2623  if a survey file with only one station in is loaded.
2624
2625* aven: Fix problems with indicators disappearing when we're drawing
2626  blobs and/or crosses the slow (but always supported) way.  (Problem
2627  introduced in 1.1.6).
2628
2629* (Unix version): aven: Really stop setting extra toolbar margin when using
2630  GTK2.0.  The attempt to fix this in 1.1.3 failed because __WXGTK12__ is
2631  set for GTK+ 1.2 or *any later release* so is true for GTK+ 2.0 too!
2632
2633* (Unix version): aven: Add details of which of wxGTK, wxMotif, and wxX11
2634  we've been compiled with, and which GTK+/Motif version where appropriate.
2635
2636* (Unix version): Fixed build on Fedora Core 3.
2637
2638* documentation: Updates to 3d file format specification from Mike McCombe.
2639
2640Changes in 1.1.6 (2005.10.10):
2641
2642* (MS Windows version): Distribution is about a third smaller than 1.1.5
2643  (mostly because mingwm10.dll is no longer required).
2644
2645* aven: If aven is asked to load a .svx, .dat, or .mak file, run cavern on
2646  it, showing cavern's output in a window (with errors and warnings clickable
2647  to load the offending file into an editor), and then loading the resulting
2648  3d file.
2649
2650* aven: Added "Colour by Date" option.
2651
2652* aven: Disable "Colour by Depth" option if there's no elevation variation.
2653
2654* aven: Don't crash if trying to load a survey with no elevation variation.
2655  Instead turn off depth colouring.
2656
2657* aven: Export as HPGL added.
2658
2659* aven: Improved update of mouse coordinates and measuring line (thanks to
2660  Martin Green).
2661
2662* aven: Show the coordinates of either the mouse pointer or the nearest
2663  survey station to it (if there is one near enough).  Showing both was
2664  confusing and meant the status bar overflowed on smaller displays.
2665
2666* aven: When printing an extended elevation, don't show bearing and elevation.
2667
2668* aven: Don't lock "flat" surveys which aren't extended elevations - a
2669  flat survey with LRUD data isn't flat any more!
2670
2671* aven: When we have to draw blobs and crosses the slow way (because the
2672  graphics hardware doesn't support the fast way), draw them so that they
2673  should appear at the correct depth into the 3D scene instead of on top
2674  of everything else.
2675
2676* aven: Make "play presentation backwards" icon green to match the other
2677  presentation icons.
2678
2679* (MS Windows version): aven: Mouse clicks on the survey view now set the
2680  keyboard focus there.
2681
2682* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix first redraw of a newly loaded survey.
2683
2684* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix redrawing of measuring line.
2685
2686* cavern: Store dates for img_XSECT.
2687
2688* cavern: Fixed small one-off memory leak if you specify -o more than once.
2689
2690* (Unix version): Check environmental variable LC_MESSAGES when deciding what
2691  language to use for messages.
2692
2693* (MS Windows version): "Print" on a 3d file now prints through aven rather
2694  than the separate printer driver (Unix has done this for some time).
2695
2696* Removed old printer drivers.
2697
2698* img library: When creating a 3d file, ignore img_XSECT if we've been asked
2699  to write a file format version which doesn't support it.
2700
2701Changes in 1.1.5 (2005.09.20):
2702
2703* (MS Windows version): aven: Fixed crash on start-up (introduced in 1.1.4).
2704
2705* aven: Make blobs round like they are in Survex 1.0.
2706
2707* aven: If the graphics drivers don't support drawing blobs using OpenGL
2708  point markers, fall back to drawing filled circles.
2709
2710* aven: If the graphics drivers support it, draw crosses as texture mapped
2711  OpenGL point markers which is much faster.
2712
2713* aven: Cross size increased to match Survex 1.0.
2714
2715* aven: We must update which blobs are displayed if display of surface or
2716  underground legs is toggled.
2717
2718* cavern: Fix handling of a *solve followed by survey data, none of which is
2719  attached to the previous data.
2720
2721* cavern: Fixed "No survey data" error when a *solve is followed by another
2722  *solve (or the implicit solve at the end of processing) with no data between
2723  them.
2724
2725Changes in 1.1.4 (2005.09.19):
2726
2727* aven: Added Aven's icon to the "About" dialog.
2728
2729* aven: Use localised character for the decimal point (e.g. "," in most
2730  continental European countries).
2731
2732* aven: Previously the survey tree would get focus and then take keypresses
2733  (e.g. "P", "L", "Delete").  Now we pass most keypresses across so they
2734  operate on the cave, and transfer the input focus across when we do.
2735
2736* aven: Make pressing "Return" in the tree control expand/collapse a subtree.
2737
2738* aven: Speed up intialisation by delaying creation of OpenGL lists until
2739  they're needed.
2740
2741* aven: Added Mark Shinwell's bounding box with shadow of the survey.
2742
2743* aven: Disable the "Tubes" button/menu item when there's no LRUD data.
2744
2745* aven: Reworded "Restore Default Settings" as "Restore Default View".
2746
2747* (Unix version): aven: Set sensible default margins for printing and preserve
2748  any margin values the user specifies between runs (previously margins
2749  defaulted to 0 each time aven was run).
2750
2751* Documentation: Document *DATA PASSAGE in the manual.
2752
2753Changes in 1.1.3 (2005.09.07):
2754
2755* (Microsoft Windows version): Fixed build problems.
2756
2757* cavern: Allow OMIT character (-) for left/right/up/down.
2758
2759* aven: Remove an unnecessary menu separator.
2760
2761* aven: Fix "Find" and "Hide" toolbar buttons to work with GTK2.0.
2762
2763* aven: Make the tooltip for "Hide" show the number of found stations.
2764
2765* aven: If * or ? is used in a glob-style pattern, force a non-substring match.
2766
2767* aven: Enable "New Presentation" when there's a 3d file loaded, rather than
2768  when there's a presentation loaded.
2769
2770* aven: Make entrances green in side panel tree list to match green blobs used
2771  in cave view.
2772
2773* aven: Don't show surface labels if we're not showing surface data, etc.
2774
2775* aven: Merge "Start Rotation" and "Stop Rotation" into "Toggle Rotation" and
2776  make "Space" the key for this.  Keep Return working "Stop Rotation" so
2777  existing users are happy, but don't advertise it.
2778
2779* aven: Normalise filename by adding any extension used, and use the normalised
2780  filename for file history and window title.
2781
2782* (Unix version): aven: Stop setting extra toolbar margin when using GTK2.0
2783  as the toolbar buttons already have a sensible margin - the extra margin is
2784  only needed with GTK1.2.
2785
2786* aven: Fix handling of plumb legs in tube model.
2787
2788* aven: Fixed swapped L and R in tube model.
2789
2790* extend: Preserve UD cross-section information in extended elevation.
2791
2792* extend: Add new messages for John Pybus' enhancements.
2793
2794Changes in 1.1.2 (never formally released):
2795
2796* Added support for LRUD data in .svx files, in .3d files, and aven can
2797  now load and display it on screen and on printouts.  The ability to "fake"
2798  LRUD data in aven is gone for now but will reappear in some form later.
2799
2800* cavern: Removed support for writing Chasm's 3dx format.  We're going to
2801  fold any desirable missing chasm functionality into aven.
2802
2803* aven: Rearranged mouse actions as discussed on the mailing list.  Added
2804  cursors for each different mouse action to help the user learn what each
2805  does.  Also added cursors for the "compass" and "clino" as well as the
2806  scalebar to suggest to the user that they can be dragged to change the view.
2807
2808* (Unix version): aven: Don't segfault if LANG isn't a known language.
2809
2810* tests/smoketest.tst: If X windows is running, check that we can run aven
2811  with --help and --version.
2812
2813* tests/cavern.tst: Fixed cavern.tst to warn if it is skipping a test because
2814  no results are listed for it.  This revealed that there was a "newline" test
2815  which should have been called "badnewline", and was a broken testcase too!
2816  Fixed all these problems.
2817
2818* cavern: Applied Simeon Warner's patch for handling backcompass, backclino,
2819  and omitted forward compass/clino readings in Compass DAT files.  Added
2820  a feature test for this to the testsuite.
2821
2822* It no longer makes sense to have an option not to build aven or to build aven
2823  without OpenGL so remove old machinery for this from configure and the
2824  sources.
2825
2826* (Unix version): configure: Check if "-lXxf86vm" is needed.
2827
2828* configure: Better output for strcasecmp test.
2829
2830* aven: Fix crosses to work much better.  Not a total fix - their position
2831  in the Z buffer isn't correct and they're rather slow to plot.
2832
2833* aven: Don't regenerate the hittest grid every time the mouse moves while
2834  animating, which solves the mysterious pausing effect (thanks go to Martin
2835  Green for spotting this!)  Also clear all the status bar coordinates when
2836  animating.
2837
2838* aven: Sort out clashing menu shortcuts in some languages.
2839
2840* aven: Fixed compilation problem on x86_64
2841
2842* SPUD: Pruned out stuff which has been done or which is not actually relevant
2843  to this branch.
2844
2845* Merge various changes from 1.0 branch:
2846
2847  + aven: Port over "printing from aven" functionality.
2848
2849  + aven: Port over "export as" functionality,
2850
2851  + Add David Loeffler's vim mode for .svx files.
2852
2853* aven: Fix check for whether a label is behind us in perspective view.
2854
2855* aven: Don't use an opengl list for drawing the indicators - we typically make
2856  a new list each time we plot them anyway.
2857
2858* Remove lingering traces of support for RISC OS and pre-386 MSDOS
2859
2860* aven: Set icon on non-Windows platforms too.  This means that with
2861  WindowMaker on Unix you get an icon on the AppIcon by default.
2862
2863* configure: Update wxWindows checks to handle newer wx versions.
2864
2865* Make all maintainer perl scripts "use bytes;" to avoid utf-8 double encoding
2866  problems.  They also all require Perl 5.8 now (hopefully this isn't an issue
2867  for anyone building from CVS).
2868
2869* acinclude.m4: Quote macro name for fix autotools warning.
2870
2871* Documentation: "tilt up" is "'" not ",".
2872
2873* aven: Add support for mousewheels (to tilt the cave).
2874
2875* aven: Fixed twisted transitions to and from pitches in certain cases.
2876
2877* aven: Pick a sensible initial window size when the user's desktop is spread
2878  over more than one monitor (works best with wx2.5 or newer, but try to do
2879  better with wx2.4 or earlier as well).
2880
2881* aven: Initialise GfxCore slightly later to avoid visual glitch from notebook
2882  contents being visible before any survey is loaded.
2883
2884* aven: Allow a coloured texture to be used
2885
2886* aven: Don't initialise until we have data (to the user, this means the window
2887  is default colour (grey for most systems) not black until a survey is
2888  loaded).
2889
2890* aven: Fixed weird "shadowed" icons.
2891
2892Changes in 1.1.1 (2004-10-06):
2893
2894* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Hopefully fix loading a survey file at
2895  startup.
2896
2897* aven: Delay loading the bitmap for the "About" dialog until it is first
2898  needed.  We want start up to be as quick as possible.
2899
2900Changes between 1.0.32 and 1.1.0 (never formally released):
2901
2902* NOTE: Survex 1.1.X releases are development snapshots made available for
2903  the purposes of allowing wider testing and getting more user feedback.  Once
2904  the code has stabilised the version number will be raised to 1.2.0.
2905
2906* aven: Now uses OpenGL for 3d rendering - you may need to install drivers if
2907  you're using Windows 95 - these can be obtained from:
2908  http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe
2909
2910* aven: Solid passages - passage dimensions are currently inferred from
2911  the leg length (pretty effective as you can measure longer legs in
2912  larger passages).  Use of real LRUD data coming soon...
2913
2914* aven: Depth colouring is now continuously varying.
2915
2916* aven: Colour by depth can now be turned off (and there's the start of a
2917  framework for properly implementing colour by date, error, etc).
2918
2919* aven: Find stations moved onto the toolbar and now uses a simple wildcarded
2920  match (? matches any character, * matches any number of characters).
2921
2922* aven: We now use the status bar for coordinates, distances, etc to make
2923  better use of screen space.
2924
2925* aven: Full screen mode (F11).
2926
2927* aven: Perspective view.
2928
2929* aven: Context sensitive cursor shape - needs more work.
2930
2931* aven: Mouse actions changed (hopefully they're now more natural, but
2932  you may find the change disorientating - feedback wanted on this).
2933
2934* aven: Added "presentations" which allow you to set up fly-through paths
2935  and load/save/run them.
2936
2937* aven: A presentation can be exported as a movie file.
2938
2939* aven: Added Save screenshot facility.
2940
2941* aven: Depth fogging option.
2942
2943* aven: Added Smooth Lines option.
2944
2945* aven: Added Textured Walls option.
2946
2947* aven: If a survey has surface legs but no underground legs, default to
2948  showing the surface legs.
2949
2950* cavern: Dates given to *date are now stored in the 3d file.
Note: See TracBrowser for help on using the repository browser.
