Survex 1.2.23 released

[Olly Betts]

Survex 1.2.23 is now available:

http://survex.com/download.html

This release improves the processing of data through aven, adds a new
'*ref' command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
find the original survey notes), and fixes ESRI and EPSG codes to work
in "*cs" on Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows, plus a few other fixes and
enhancements.

See the NEWS file entry below for a full list.

Here are SHA1 checksums should you want to verify the integrity of the

There are "release notes" on the wiki, which I'll try to keep updated
with any issues found, so take a look there for the latest information:

Please report any issues you find which are not covered in the release
notes to the bug tracker (http://trac.survex.com/).

Cheers,

Changes in 1.2.23 (2015-09-06):

* aven:

  + Updating the cavern log window is now much smoother, especially on slower
    machines.

  + Show "busy" mouse cursor while processing survey data.

  + Fix an assertion if you try to start processing a survex file while one is
    already being processed.

  + Processing a .svx file with an error now still adds it to the file history.
    Reported by Martin Green.

  + Fix the orientation of the starting end of tubes.

* cavern:

  + New *ref command to allow specifying an external reference (e.g. where to
    find the original survey notes).

  + Drop support for showing percentage progress in cavern.  It's confusing in
    a multiple-file dataset as it shows progress in the current file so jumps
    around.  It also slows down processing, and on a slow machine you'd don't
    want that, while on a fast machine processing isn't slow enough for the
    progress display to be useful.

* French translation is now completely up to date, thanks to Michel Bovey.

* Bundle proj's EPSG and ESRI code lists in the installers for MS Windows and
  OS X so that things like "*cs EPSG:29903" work.  Reported by Graham Mullan.

* (Microsoft Windows version): Process survey data with aven rather than
  running cavern.

* (Microsoft Windows version): Installer built with InnoSetup 5.5.6 (recent
  releases have been built with 5.5.3) to see if that solves Ray Duffy's
  reported issue with not having file associations for .svx files created.
