From olly at survex.com Wed Mar 6 04:01:52 2019 From: olly at survex.com (Olly Betts) Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2019 17:01:52 +1300 Subject: Survex 1.2.38 released Message-ID: <20190306040152.GB30718@survex.com> Survex 1.2.38 is now available: https://survex.com/download.html This is not a very exciting release - mostly I wanted to address the incorrect definition of "mils". I suspect nobody is actually using them as for bearings, you'd get a warning about the value being too large for about 93% of readings. But for clino readings it might escape notice. Here's the full NEWS file entry for this release: Changes in 1.2.38 (2019-03-02): * cavern: + Deprecate MILS as angular units. Survex has long support MILS as an alias for GRADS. However, this seems to be a bogus definition of a "mil" which is unique to Survex (except that Therion has since copied it) - there are several different definitions of a "mil" but they vary from 6000 to 6400 in a full circle, not 400. Reported by Andy Edwards. + Fix segfault for *include "". This isn't useful, but shouldn't crash. It now reports "file not found" instead. + Use isnan() to check for not-a-number. This is cleaner, more robust and more efficient than formatting the number as a string and checking for "NaN" or "nan" in the result. * Avoid unused variable warning when compiling from source with modern ffmpeg. * Drop support for wxWidgets < 3.0. 3.0.0 was released over 5 years ago and should be easily available everywhere by now. I'm no longer easily able to test with wxWidgets 2.8, and this allows a significant amount of cruft to be removed. * (Linux version): survex.spec: Fedora have removed gcc from the default build environment so need to explicitly list it in the BuildRequires tag. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot for more information. Patch from James Begley.
