The most notable changes in this release are support for colouring by
horizontal or vertical error, and a fix for how passage dimensions get
rotated when exporting with a non-zero bearing.

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

Changes in 1.2.42 (2019-09-04):

* aven:

  + Allow colouring by horizontal or vertical error.

  + (Unix version): Disable scaling for HiDPI displays with GTK3.  The OpenGL
    code needs work before this will work usefully, so just disable for now
    (which simulates how things are when using GTK2).

  + (Unix version): Fix orientation of notebook tabs when build with wxWidgets
    3.1 development versions.  We want horizontal tab orientation, but were
    passing a weird flag combination which now results in vertical tab
    orientation.

* When exporting to a format where we support rotation in the horizontal
  plane (such as SVG), the rotation was incorrectly applied to cross section
  data (except for the default rotation of zero).  Fixes #108, reported by
  Richard Knapp.

* Add a section to the manual covering the command line tools, and what you
  might still need to use them for.

* Fix compiler warning when building from source with GCC 9.

* Consistently refer to macOS not OS X - Apple have renamed it yet again.

* (macOS version): Revert the workaround for the crash on macOS 10.14.  The
  bug we were working around is fixed in git ready for wxWidgets 3.0.5 and
  there's a backported fix in the homebrew wxmac 3.0.4-2 package, which is how
  we now recommend people install on a Mac.  Closes #101, reported by floho.

* (macOS version): Remove buildmacosx.sh script since installing from homebrew
  is now the recommended approach.
