<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>A few other things I've spotted after having more of a play around:<BR>
<BR>
(3) Running Aven on a .svx file, a window marked "Aven Error Log" appears filled with errors saying<BR>
<BR>
17:41:31: No OpenGL information available yet - try opening a file.<BR>
17:41:54: Error: Failed to display HTML document in ISO-8859-1 encoding<BR>
17:41:54: Error: Failed to display HTML document in ISO-8859-1 encoding<BR>
17:41:54: Error: Failed to display HTML document in ISO-8859-1 encoding<BR>
17:41:54: Error: Failed to display HTML document in ISO-8859-1 encoding<BR>
<BR>
(the latter error repeated 50 or more times). This appears to be harmless - the file eventually opens fine.<BR>
<BR>
(4) Aven claims to accept the -s switch, but it doesn't work: if you use it, it flashes up a message saying "Bug in program detected! Please report this to the authors" and quits, printing to the console the message:<BR>
<BR>
aven: mainfrm.cc:1175: bool MainFrm::LoadData(const wxString&, wxString): Assertion `i != m_Labels.end()' failed.<BR>
Abnormal termination<BR>
<BR>
I think this error happens with Survex 1.0 as well. It's a shame because I'd actually find -s with Aven quite handy for certain things, particularly if it could be made to accept a list of prefixes rather than just one.<BR>
<BR>
(5) [Probably a wxWindows error] When the hierarchical station list loads, it is in black (or green for surface surveys etc) against a grey background. When you mouse over a station (or prefix heading) the background turns darker grey, and then when you mouse out again it turns to white, so you get a sort of trail of which ones you've moused over -- it looks very weird.<BR>

<BR>
Here are a couple of bugs I've noticed from the first attempt to build the new version. Niether of these are new; they have been present in all Survex 1.1 versions I've tried under Linux.<BR>
<BR>
(1) Where is the length reading for the measuring line? I get a blank box where I had expected it to appear.<BR>
<BR>
(2) At one end of the measuring line, there should be a filled white blob (IIRC). This blob doesn't appear; it gets plotted somewhere else on the screen, which then shifts around in a weird random way when you zoom and rotate the image.<BR>

<BR>
I've just uploaded 1.1.8:<BR>
<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.survex.com/software/1.1.8/">http://www.survex.com/software/1.1.8/</A><BR>
<BR>
Please note that this is a test build of the development version.<BR>
Things should mostly work, but you're a lot more likely to encounter<BR>
problems than with the stable 1.0.X versions. <BR>
<BR>
But please do download it, try it out, and report any problems. I<BR>
think this is getting pretty close to what I'd like to release as<BR>
Survex 1.2, so please report any problems (even if you've reported<BR>
them before!)<BR>
<BR>
Changes in 1.1.8:<BR>
<BR>
* Drop support for building with wxWidgets versions prior to 2.4.0<BR>
(which was released on 2003-01-07).<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Printing through aven now uses settings from the "[aven]" section<BR>
of print.ini, and support for hierarchical sections (using "like=")<BR>
has been disabled.<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Change mouse actions to be compatible with those in Survex 1.0.<BR>
The mousewheel now zooms in/out (it doesn't do anything in 1.0) and<BR>
left drag is now smart about not rotating and zooming at the same<BR>
time.<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Highlighting stations now happens as you type, and pressing<BR>
"Enter" or clicking the "Find" button now pans and zooms to show the<BR>
highlighted stations.<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Left-clicking away from a station now cancels measuring line.<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Setting view to North, South, East, or West is now animated like<BR>
the tilt from plan to elevation.<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Fix presentation saving to also write "." for decimal points and<BR>
presentation loading to accept either "." or ",".<BR>
<BR>
* (Unix version): aven: Add text for all toolbar items so that aven<BR>
will work with the Gnome desktop preference for displaying toolbars as<BR>
icons with text or just text (wxWidgets needs fixing first though).<BR>
<BR>
* (Unix version): aven: Remove the ability to detach the menu bar (yell<BR>
if you actually used it and I'll restore it!)<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Add "all survey files" option to the "open file" dialog.<BR>
<BR>
* (MS Windows version): aven: Fix cursor keys to pan survey.<BR>
<BR>
* (MS Windows version): Built with wxWidgets 2.6.3 instead of 2.6.2.<BR>
<BR>
* (MS Windows version): Fix installer to work on Windows 2000 or XP if<BR>
run by an unprivileged user.<BR>
<BR>
* (MS Windows version): Upgrade to the latest version of InnoSetup (the<BR>
installer builder we use) and include new installer translations for<BR>
UK English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Slovak.<BR>
<BR>
* (MS Windows version): aven: Include Catalan and Brazilian Portuguese<BR>
translations of messages for wxWidgets (the GUI library we use).<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Disable "Highlight exported points" if there aren't any.<BR>
<BR>
* Updates to French translation from Michel Bovey. Also updates to German,<BR>
Italian, Catalan, Spanish, and Romanian translations.<BR>
<BR>
* (Unix version): test suite: fix smoke test to pass even without X running<BR>
(it was meant to but the code had a bug).<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Check if OpenGL is available and exit cleanly with a helpful error<BR>
if it isn't.<BR>
<BR>
* (Unix version): aven: Fix --help and --version to work without a working<BR>
X display (provided it's built with wxWidgets 2.5.1 or newer).<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Automatically select the presentation tab of the notebook when the user<BR>
selects "New Presentation" or "Open Presentation".<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Fix "Delete" in the presentation list to not get passed on (and so not<BR>
reset to default view as well).<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Fix Ctrl+Insert in the presentation list not to segfault if the list is<BR>
empty.<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Fix Cursor Up and Down in the presentation list to move the highlight<BR>
up and down instead of being passed on and moving the survey.<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Improve SVG output compatibility. Tested with Mozilla Firefox 1.5,<BR>
Adobe's SVG browser plugin, Gimp 2.2.8, Gqview 2.0.0, Opera 8.5,<BR>
Safari 2.0.3, and InkScape 0.42.<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Put a 5mm border around exported SVG files to allow for station markers<BR>
and non-zero width lines.<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Fix crash when exporting as SVG or Sketch if labels or surface data<BR>
was turned on.<BR>
<BR>
* aven: Actually close the file we're exporting which fixes problems with it<BR>
not always being fully written.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
