Survex 0.97 prerelease 2 available

[Olly Betts]

I've uploaded the second prerelease of Survex 0.97.  Download links are on:

http://www.survex.com/

This prerelease is available for all platforms (apart from RISC OS and
pre-386 MSDOS machines - I don't have time to build it this time round I'm
afraid).

The Unix version of Aven is much improved, though some issues still remain
(detailed in the BUGS files).

I'm away skiing next week (St Anton in Austria this time) but keep the
comments coming and I'll sort them out when I return.

Full list of user-visible changes between 0.97-prerelease1 and prerelease2:

* cad3d: Fixed output from `--help'; -e, -D, -S short options now work;
  fixed infinite loop bug.

* (Unix version): aven: leaving "about" box no longer causes segfault;
  toggle status bar now works; N/S/E/W selects view rather than moving
  cave; window close now works; now have ticks on appropriate menu
  items; fixed problems with rendering (some legs missing!); 3d file
  specified on command line now loaded; fixed occasional hangs; fixed
  terrible slowness during rotation; implemented indicators; various
  other bugs fixed.

* Updated translations: pt de it (and fr partially)

* Added tests for most commands and various other cases.

* cavern: fixed *case (correct args are PRESERVE/TOUPPER/TOLOWER) and
  upper/lower were swapped.

* Documentation brought more up-to-date.

* caverot/xcaverot: fix missing end of list marker for surface data
  which typically resulted in a few extra bogus surface legs appearing.

* printer drivers: fixed .ini file reading routine (bug introduced in
  0.97-prerelease 1).

* printps: postscript file meta information now includes the date of
  creation, and also the name of the user running printps (Unix only).

* printer drivers: improved reporting of problems with print.ini files.

* (MSDOS version): fallback DPMI provider and floating point emulator
  were missing in 0.97-prerelease1.

* Better internationalisation - select localised system messages using
  setlocale().

Cheers,
Olly
