I've uploaded the fourth 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 - sorry, run out of time).
I'm off to China until June 9th, so keep the comments coming and I'll sort
them out when I return. Any aven related issues are best directed to Mark
Shinwell <Mark.Shinwell@cl.cam.ac.uk> with a cc: to me so I know what's
going on.
Brian: Note had a chance to look further at the caverot label lockup bug I'm
afraid.
Full list of user-visible changes between 0.97-prerelease3 and prerelease4:
* Updated Portuguese and German translations.
* aven: Accents now work in display; suppress "wxstd" warning box for
English; speed improvements; redesign of indicators; rescale by
dragging scalebar; allow surface legs to be hidden (they are by
default); now defaults to plan view; depth bar labelling improved;
added caverot-like handling of flat surveys (so output from extend
is locked flat).
* cavern: Complain if the same name is used for a survey and a station.
* cavern: Added --warnings-are-errors command line option.
* caverot/xcaverot: Middle button now tilts cave by dragging rather
than toggling plan/elevation.
* caverot: continue setup in background while help page is displayed;
"R" (Reverse Rotation) now only affects the auto-rotation - it used
to affect "C", "V", "/", and "'".
* cavern: unused fix point warnings now work for stations fixed with
error estimates; added test cases for this.
* testsuite: Enhanced many existing tests to check for warnings.
* Fixed to build on Solaris with Sun's compiler.
* Minor corrections to documentation and man pages.
* cavern: report *export errors at the file and line where the *begin
for the survey involved was as that's much more useful.
* cavern: allow "-" in station names by default.
Cheers,
Olly
