Survex 1.2.11 released

[Olly Betts]

Survex 1.2.11 is now available:

http://survex.com/download.html

This release fixes a number of reported bugs in aven, plus a few minor
enchancements.

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

There are also detached GPG signatures in the download directory:

There's no pre-built version for Mac OS X at the moment, but you should
be able to build a disk image from source using the "buildmacosx.sh"
script in the source tree - see the comments at the start of that script
for details.  Thanks to David A. Riggs, this script now uses wxWidgets
3.0.0, and should work on OS X 10.9.  I'm unable to test this myself,
so I'm reliant on people to report any issues they find with this.

If someone with a Mac is interested in providing builds for others, let
me know.

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:

http://trac.survex.com/wiki/ReleaseNotes/1.2.11

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 1.2.11 (2014-01-28):

* aven: Fix wxWidgets assertion when double clicking on an anonymous station.
  Reported by Kevin Dixon.

* aven: Embed the font data for the first 256 Unicode characters for use in the
  survey pane into the compiled aven binary to reduce start up overhead.  Any
  additional characters needed are loaded from a data file only if/when a
  character >= U+100 is actually needed (as before).

* aven: Fix display of Unicode characters above 256 when there's a character
  <= 256 earlier in the same string.

* aven: Use the actual width of Unicode characters above 256 rather than
  assuming they are 16 pixels wide.

* aven: If full screen, don't show the side panel when a new file is opened
  (e.g. via Ctrl+O).

* aven: Don't give an assertion failure when showing passages for a cave with
  no vertical extent.  Reported by Jonny Prouty.

* aven: Change terminology in print dialog - say "legend" instead of "info
  box".

* aven: Add option to show the tilt angle as a percentage gradient.

* aven: Show the units (degrees, grads, or percent) for the tilt and bearing
  indicators.

* aven: All length units are now translatable.

* aven: Split log_fl_error helper function out of CHECK_GL_ERROR macro, which
  will reduce code size and also the number of deprecation warnings about
  gluErrorString on Mac OS X 10.9.

* (Microsoft Windows version): aven: Try to work around redraw issues related
  to the measuring line by redrawing the whole window, which doesn't seem to be
  measurably slower.

* cavern: If *units is used to try to set units for LEVEL, PLUMB, or POSITION,
  give an error rather than quietly ignoring the attempt.

* cad3d: Make cad3d remap control characters and spaces in station names when
  generating PLT output in the same way aven does.

* Various translation updates (particular thanks to Eric Madelaine and Dennis
  Baudys), including the start of a Bulgarian translation, with messages taken
  from Therion and elsewhere.

* (Microsoft Windows version): On Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer, use
  GetUserDefaultUILanguage() to get the UI language to use.  For older
  versions, continue to use GetUserDefaultLCID().

* (Microsoft Windows version): The Indonesian translation will now be used
  automatically when the system language is set to Indonesian.

* (Mac OS X version): Fix to build with wx 3.0.0 on OS X 10.9.  Thanks to David
  A. Riggs for his work on this.

* (Mac OS X version): Update buildmacosx.sh script to use wx 3.0.0, and add a
  checksum check for the downloaded wx sources.

* Fix a lot of the compiler warnings when building with clang.

* doc/manual.sgml: Add missing quantities to the list documented as accepted by
  *units: LEFT, RIGHT, UP/CEILING, DOWN/FLOOR (missing entirely);
  BACKCOMPASS/BACKBEARING, BACKCLINO/BACKGRADIENT (missing from the main list,
  mentioned in list of the units that can be set for them); COUNT (missing
  alternative name for COUNTER); DX/EASTING, DY/NORTHING, DZ/ALTITUDE
  (incorrectly listed as X, Y, Z).  Reported by Jonny Prouty.

* Test suite: Improve test coverage for cavern.
