roadnav (0.13-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Enhancements:
  * Calculating routes should now be faster (switched to A-Star shortest path algorithm).
  * Map data between the starting and ending point of a route is now automatically downloaded.
  * Waypoints can now be added by right clicking on the map, or left clicking for 2 seconds.
  * Waypoints can now be hidden by right clicking on the waypoint.
  * Multiple street labels/markers are now shown when a road covers more than 1/6th of the screen.
  * GPS window redone to show more information.
  * Address lookups should be much faster now.
  * Smarter handling of the "(Alt)" suffix.

  * Bug Fixes:
  * Fixes potential shortest path hang.
  * Compass in GPS window no longer flickers when redrawn.
  * Fixes some print scaling problems.
  * GPS window should be resizable again under GTK and other platforms that don't let miniframes be resized.
  * GPS and What's Nearby window now adhere to active theme.
  * Switches from deprecated http://geonames.usgs.gov/geonames/stategaz/ files to http://geonames.usgs.gov/docs/stategaz/ GNIS files.
  * Misc waypoints dialog usability fixes.
  * Fixes 16bpp compatibility problem under Linux.

  * Developer Visible Changes:
  * LIBROADNAV_CHECK_VERSION(x,y) macro now checks to ensure the correct version of LibRoadnav is present.
  * Adds LibRoadnavDebug logging functions.

  * Misc:
  * Roadnav now checks during compiling if the correct version of LibRoadnav is present.
  * If a map download partially fails, only one error message box should be generated per county now.
  * Adds m_bVisible element to MapMarker, which can completely hide a marker.
  * The location dialog now differentiates between addresses not being available due to maps not being downloaded, invalid city/state combinations, and invalid street addresses.
  * Recent performance improvements require changes to Roadnav's internal file formats. As such, all maps must be downloaded again and recompiled. This process can now optionally occur automatically - on the first run after upgrading, users will be asked if they wish to automatically download the maps they previously had again or if they wish to start fresh.
