Here's the full NEWS file entry for this release:<br>
<br>
Changes in 1.4.19 (2025-12-17):<br>
<br>
* aven/survexport: Rework PLT export to use 2 character escapes for spaces<br>
 and other characters which aren't valid in Compass station names. We were<br>
 using 3 character escapes, but that's unhelpful since Compass has a 12<br>
 character station name limit.<br>
<br>
* cavern: The syntax of *instrument commands is now checked and a warning<br>
 issued for problems. The information in the command is still not yet used.<br>
<br>
* cavern: Improve description of --quiet option. Reported by Wookey.<br>
<br>
* (Microsoft Windows version): The installer now always updates DLLs it<br>
 installs rather than skipping DLLs which declare the same version number.<br>
 This avoids problems when DLLs change in an upwardly but not downwardly<br>
 compatible way but keep the same version number. It also means downgrading<br>
 now gives an install more like installing the older version from scratch<br>
 would. Our DLLs are all private and installed into our own install directory<br>
 so there are no concerns with breaking other installed software. Fixes #145.<br>
 Reported by Footleg and Juan Corrin.<br>
<br>
* Fill in some missing Czech translations.<br>
<br>
* Update unofficial Inno Setup translations for the installer.<br>
<br>
* We now require at least FFmpeg >= 3.2 to build Survex. This version was<br>
 released in 2016 so should be easily available everywhere now.<br>
<br>
* (Microsoft Windows version): Drop workaround for wx-config --rescomp not<br>
 working as this has now been fixed in the mingw package of wxWidgets.<br>
<br>
* Test suite:<br>
<br>
 + Add test coverage for `*data normal` without `clino`.<br>
<br>
Here are SHA256 checksums should you want to verify the integrity of the<br>
