Recent updates to the archive

This archive is constantly being updated as the current year's work is integrated into the whole, and as "catching up" on old documentation proceeds. This page is to tell you what's been changed or added recently. Only significant changes are recorded - there are too many minor updates to links, typos and the like to list here. The change log only started in March 1996, and info on older and fairly small changes will be expired after a while to avoid the file getting too big :-(

After an interval of several years it is again possible to obtain survey data from this site. At present only the caves we are currently exploring have survey data publically available (Steinbrückenhöhle, Hauchhöhle, and Eishöhle – look at the bottom of the description pages), but it is planned to include more in the near future. (CUCC users knowing the password may naturally access the entire dataset as a .3d file or as a .tar.gz archive of .svx files; this includes data contributed by ARGE and other organisations which we are not in a position to freely redistribute.)

Merged in everything from Expo 2004. Currently this is very short on descriptions as these haven't yet been written.

General update, occasioned by having nothing else to do except revision. Updated Expedition Handbook to reflect current practice in tagging of new caves, entering survey data, etc. Changed lots of pages so they validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict. Applied Mark's funky CSS stylesheet to whole site. Also resurrected this updates page by grovelling through the last three years' CVS logs.

Ran a link checker on the site, which found all sorts of errors. Corrected the easy ones! Lots of stuff still broken, particularly in Eishöhle description.
2004.03.07 DL
Added a bunch of rigging guides for the deep stuff in 204.
2004.01.21 DL
Added 2003 logbook (no pictures yet).
2004.01.12 DL
Updated Expo members list again. Added Mike Cox and Wayne Sheldon (2001), who I had been unaware of the existence of but who appear in *team directives in files in the dataset. Also edited the HTML rather (there were no </tr> tags).
2003.09.24 DL
Updated Expo members list to include 2003 participants.
2003.07.04 AERW

dplong.htm - Updated Deep + Long Caves list. I had been worrying about this, as I haven't found any up-to-date data on deep caves outside the world's top 150, so I didn't want to delete the older but more comprehensive data. Then I realised it was demonstrably crap, as it labelled two different caves as the world's 320th deep (Eislufthohle and another one somewhere). So out it went. Unfortunately we are only in this list once now that the entry for KH is subsumed into Stellerweg.
2003.01.20 DL
Added a statement of goals for 2003, and updated Expedition Primer to link to those rather than the objectives from several years ago.
