TODO: 2014-06-25: v2.0.1

Mostly JRC contributions (see VECTO-29 & VECTO-35):

• IO: JSON-ize preferences, vehicle, job & criteria-files EXCEPT from Track-file.
• IO: CSVize all the rest files with a single header line and use '#' for comment lines.
• IO: Separate config/ from Declaration/ folders.
• UI: Provide default-values and help-messages in GUI/files with infos fetched from JSON-schemas.
• UI: Make the Log-window visible at all times (more necessary now that unhandled exceptions are appropriately reported).
• Log: Gather all unhandled exceptions and report them into log-window and log-file.
• Log: Improving error-reporting by including stack-traces and timestamps into the log-file, for post-mortem examination.
• Translate all file-paths against Prefs.WorkingDir, so that i.e. Job-files can be ported to other computers.
• Possible to specify any editor (not only notepad.exe) for viewing files.
• Standarize versioning using SemanticVersioning.
• Welcome developers and users with README.md, CHANGES.md and COPYING.txt files.

Internal:

• Implement an API for writing Header/Body json-files.
• Apply Object-oriented design weith resource-management when I/O files.
• Sporadic fixes to work with filenames having 2-part extensions (ie some_file.csjob.json).
• Log: Improve logging-API so now a single log-routine is used everywhere(instead of 3 different ones).
• async: Stop abusing worker-Thread with Globals, use DoWorkEventArgs instead.
• async: Start using Exceptions instead of CancelAsync() and error-flags.
• General restructuring of the folders and names in the project.

More analytically:

2014-06-23: v2.0.1-beta0

Mostly TUG improvements:

• json: Store run-results within the Job-file.
• csv: Ensure result-files are valid CSVs.
• csv: Changed comment symbol in CSV files from 'c' --> '#'
• csv: Unify hunits into header labels.

Internal:

• Use Exceptions instead of CancelAsync() and error-flags in calc-routines and input.vb.
• Remove unused distVincenty() func.
• Added EUPL preamble on all source-files.

2014-06-04: v2.0.1-pre2

JRC contributions:

• Convert Job & Criteria files to JSON and possible to store them separately.
• Still supporting old format for reading.
• Use Use WorkingDir trick for all job-file paths, so that Job-files can be ported to other computers.
• UI: Make the Log-window visible at all times (more necessary now that unhandled exceptions are appropriately reported).
• UI: Setup criteria-infobox from JSON-schema.

Internal:

• Log unhandled exceptions.
• Gather all infos related to Job-properties (type, description, units) in a single place, the JSON-schema for the job-file.
• async: Stop abusing worker-Thread with Globals, use DoWorkEventArgs instead.
• Sporadic fixes to work with filenames having 2-part extensions (ie some_file.csjob.json).
• More refactorings to simplify structure of source files and folders.

2014-05-30: v2.0.1-pre1

JRC contributions:

• Read/write Vehicle-file as JSON.
• prefsUI: Add Reload button.
• Remember window-location (use .net Settings for that).
• All logs (even those sent to msg-box) are written to log-file, with timestamps and stack-traces.

Internal:

• Start saving stack-traces into the log-file.
• Enhance JSON-files with standard header/body behavior.
• Link JSON to GUI controls (labels & toolstips)
• json: Read defaults from schemas.
• Rework logging as a single routine, whether invoked from Background Worker or not.

2014-05-23: v2.0.1-pre0

JRC contributions:

• Separate config/ from Declaration/ folders.
• Remove the versioning infos from app-name (manual, project-name, folders) and use SemanticVersioning 2.0.0 instead.
• Possible to use any editor (not only notepad.exe).
• Added README.md, CHANGES.md, COPYING.txt files.

Internal:

• Auto create config/ on the 1st run, converted to JSON with transparent error-handling.
• FIX leaking of file-descriptors by using VB's 'Using' statement (class 'cFile_v3' now implements IDisposeable).
