Simgear contains a new helper to validate format
strings for potentially dangerous replacements, use
it to fix the issues raised by Debian bug trackers.
- Add option 'capture-events' to canvas aircraft and scenery
placements to allow events being forwarded to the respective
canvas.
- Clean up and restructure parts of the mouse event/picking
handling to support forwarding events to canvasses.
Ensure all FGPositioned related functions return SGSharedPtr
instead of raw pointers to allow automatic conversion to
nasal ghosts without custom helper functions.
This was a bogus concept, either runways have a reciprocal or not (if singled-ended), really this was simply exposing an artefact of the apt.dat encoding. Change to an API which gives what is actually wanted - the ability to extract an airport's runways without any reciprocals included.
At large search ranges (320 or 640NM range on the 777), the search time can blow up, especially if distant airports are being loaded. Add a time-bounded spatial query, and use it, so performance stays tolerable.
Allow the location of the ND centre to be set from properties instead of always using the acct position.
(I thought I'd supported this option long ago, evidently not)
To keep the tutorial looking nice, switch off the panel extent outlines for the 2.8 release. Longer-term I should remove the code, or add a separate property if this feature is actually useful.
Sink the 2D panel logic into FGPanelNode, simplifying
renderer.cxx and a few other places. Also allows potential
for unloading / paging of 2.5D panels in the future.
Replace SG_GENERAL by more specific log classes in many places.
Allow "," to separate logging classes (using "|" is odd on the
command-line).
Also add new option to make logging more useful for developers.
You can use:
--log-level=debug --log-class=environment
to only get environment debug messages, or
--log-level=debug --log-class=sound,ai
to only get debug messages related to the sound or AI subsystem.
Add helper to look for an aircraft branch path in multiple candidate locations.
Update the main subsystems to use the helper, and hence load from any aircraft dir.
Guard against invalid font names in panel XML files, and make font name
comparisons case-insensitive so that 'helvetica', 'Helvetica' or 'HELVETICA'
work as expected.
