FWIW, the changes were (maybe some other I missed too):

1.2.13:

* aven: Increase the threshold for how close the pointer needs to be to a
  station from 5 pixels to 7 to try to help touchscreen users.  Reported by
  Hugh St Lawrence.

* aven: Add "fat finger" mode, toggled by pressing F2, to allow investigating
  if increasing the minimum pointer to station threshold helps Hugh's problems
  with using aven on a touch screen device.

* aven: Add "hit test grid debug" mode, which shows the hit test grid and how
  many entries are in each box (toggled by F3).

So it should be a bit easier to select a station with a touch screen, and
if that's not good enough, pressing F2 makes the threshold 5 times as large
(so 35 pixels).

And F3 will show you how the stations have been gridded (which is a trick
to allow us to only consider stations near the click rather than having to
check every single one and makes for smoother update when you move the
cursor around the survey).

Cheers,
