[Olly Betts]

Survex 1.2.37 is now available:

This release is mostly bug fixes.  The one new feature is the addition
of a basic "Colour by Survey" feature to aven.

Here's the full NEWS file entry for this release:

Changes in 1.2.37 (2018-11-18):

* aven:

  + Add basic "Colour by Survey" feature.  The colours used aren't currently
    controllable.

  + Fix export of splays.  Patch from Thomas Holder.

  + Fix KML export to avoid invalid geometry when a tube intersects itself.
    Patch from Robert Jones.

  + (Unix version): Fix to work under Wayland by forcing the x11 GDK backend
    for now.  This is a workaround until wxWidgets OpenGL support is updated
    to work under Wayland.  Reported by Philip Balister.

  + Fix warnings about using deprecated functions when building movie export
    code using FFmpeg 4.0.

* cavern:

  + Compass MAK files: Handle fixed point coordinates in feet - previously the
    units were ignored and the coordinates assumed to be in metres.

  + Previously the first byte in a MAK file was ignored.  Typically MAK files
    start with a comment, and since cavern currently ignores lines that start
    with characters it doesn't understand the meaning of, this bug would often
    go unnoticed.

* survexport:

  + Fix exporting of passages, walls and cross-sections by running the code
    aven uses to decide how much to rotate each cross-section.  Previously all
    cross-sections were aligned West-East.  Reported by Robert Jones.

  + Default to .pos output if the program name is 3dtopos, and install a second
    copy (or hardlink under Unix) as 3dtopos.  This provides compatibility with
    current releases of Tunnel.  Reported by Becka Lawson, Wookey and
    Stephen Crabtree.

* Fix some German translations.  Patch from Thomas Holder.

* (MacOS X version): Fix aven-create-app to not delete converted icons.
  Typo spotted by Robert Jones.

* Improve documentation for *team.  Document the requirement to quote names
  unless a person is identified by just one name.  Document that the roles are
  optional, as that information may not have been recorded, and to align with
  therion's team command.
