1786	+ revert change to lib_addch.c in waddch_literal() from 20210130, since
1787	  the followup fix in PutCharLR() actually corrects the problem while
1788	  this change causes too-early filling/wrapping (report by Johannes

1813
181420210130
1815	+ correct an off-by-one in comparison in waddch_literal() which caused

1850	+ amend man/curs_terminfo.3x, to note that <curses.h> is required
1851	  for certain functions, e.g., those using chtype or attr_t for

1887	+ modify configure check for c89/c99 aliases of clang to use its
1888	  -std option instead, because some platforms, in particular macOS,

2602	+ add "Caps-ncurses" file to help with checking inconsistencies in some
2603	  user-defined capabilities.
2604	+ amend check for repeat_char to handle a case where setlocale() was

2612	+ replace check in reset command for obsolete "pt" capability using
2613	  tbc and hts capabilities as clues (report by Nicolas Marriott).

261520190216
2616	+ improve manual page description of TABSIZE.
2617	+ add test/demo_tabs program.

2625	  with Redhat's package for ncurses6.
2626	+ modify no-leaks code in test/picsmap to avoid non-standard tdestroy.
2627	+ amend change to configure script which altered the top-level makefile
2628	  to avoid attempting to install the terminfo database when it was not
2629	  configured, to allow for installing the ".pc" files which are also
2630	  in the misc directory (report by Steve Wills).
2631
263220190126
2633	+ change some "%define" statements in test-packages for RPMs to
2634	  "%global" to work around changes in rpm 4.14 from recent Redhat.
2635	+ fixes for O_INPUT_FIELD extension (patch by Leon Winter).
2636	+ eliminate fixed buffer-size when reading $TERMCAP variable.
2637	+ correct logic in read_entry.c which prevented $TERMCAP variable from
2638	  being interpreted as a fallback to terminfo entry (prompted by
2639	  Savannah #54556, cf: 20110924).
2640

2642	+ add a check in test/configure to work around non-ncurses termcap.h
2643	  file in Slackware.
2644	+ corrected flag for "seq" method of db 1.8.5 interface, needed by toe

2646	+ updated "string-hacks" feature.
2647	+ minor improvements to manpage typography.
2648	+ corrected conditionally-compiled limit on color pairs (report by
2649	  "Hudd").
2650	+ add -x option to test/pair_content, test/color_content for testing
2651	  init_extended_pair, extended_pair_content, init_extended_color,
2652	  extended_color_content
2653	+ add -p option to test/pair_content, test/color_content to show the

2672	+ add dummy "check" rule in top-level and test-Makefile to simply
2673	  building test-packages for Arch.
2674	+ modify configure script to avoid conflict with a non-POSIX feature
2675	  that enables all parts of the system headers by default.  Some
2676	  packagers have come to rely upon this behavior (FreeBSD #234049).
2677	+ update config.guess, config.sub
2678
267920181229
2680	+ improve man/curs_mouse.3x with regard to xterm
2681	+ modify tracemunch to accept filename parameters in addition to use
2682	  as a pipe/filter.
2683	+ minor optimization to reduce calls to _nc_reserve_pairs (prompted by
2684	  discussion with Bryan Christ).
2685	+ add test/pair_content.c and test/color_content.c
2686	+ modify infocmp to omit filtering of "OTxx" names which are used for
2687	  obsolete capabilities, when the output is sorted by long-names.
2688	  Doing this helps when making a table of the short/long capability
2689	  names.
2690
269120181215
2692	+ several fixes for gcc8 strict compiler warnings.
2693	+ fix a typo in comments (Aaron Gyes).
2694	+ add nsterm-build309 to replace nsterm-256color, assigning the latter
2695	  as an alias of nsterm, to make mouse work with nsterm-256color -TD
2696	+ base gnome-256color entry on "gnome", not "vte", for consistency -TD
2697	+ updates for configure macros from work on tin and xterm:
2698	  + CF_GNU_SOURCE, allow for Cygwin's newlib when checking for the
2699	    _DEFAULT_SOURCE symbol.
2700	  + CF_VA_COPY, add fallback check if neither va_copy/__va_copy is
2701	    supported, to try copying the pointers for va_list, or as an array.
2702	    Also add another fallback check, for __builtin_va_copy(), which
2703	    could be used with AIX xlc in c89 mode.
2704
270520181208
2706	+ modify wbkgd() and wbkgrnd() to improve compatibility with SVr4
2707	  curses, changing the way the window rendition is updated when the
2708	  background character is modified (report by Valery Ushakov).
2709
271020181201
2711	+ add midnightbsd to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro (patch by Urs Jansen).
2712	+ add "@" command to test/ncurses F-test, to allow rapid jump to
2713	  different character pages.
2714	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2715		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
2716
271720181125
2718	+ build-fix (reports by Chih-Hsuan Yen, Sven Joachim).
2719
272020181124
2721	+ check --with-fallbacks option to ensure there is a value, and add
2722	  the fallback information to top-level Makefile summary.
2723	+ add some traces in initialization to show whether a fallback entry is
2724	  used.
2725	+ build-fix for test/movewindow with ncurses-examples on Solaris.
2726	+ add "-l" option to test/background, to dump screen contents in a form
2727	  that lets different curses implementations be compared.
2728	+ modify the initialization checks for mouse so that the xterm+sm+1006
2729	  block will work with terminal descriptions not mentioning xterm
2730	  (report by Tomas Janousek).
2731
273220181117
2733	+ ignore the hex/b64 $TERMINFO in toe's listing.
2734	+ correct a status-check in _nc_read_tic_entry() so that if reading
2735	  a hex/b64 $TERMINFO, and the $TERM does not match, fall-through to
2736	  the compiled-in search list.
2737
273820181110
2739	+ several workarounds to ensure proper C compiler used in parts of
2740	  Ada95 tree.
2741	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2742		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git

2750	  from the infocmp -Q option.
2751	+ allow value for --with-versioned-syms to be a relative pathname
2752	+ add a couple of broken-linker symbols to the list of versioned
2753	  symbols to help with link-time optimization versus weak symbols.
2754	+ apply shift/control/alt logic when decoding xterm's 1006 mode to
2755	  wheel-mouse events (Redhat #1610681).
2756
275720181013
2758	+ amend change from 20180818, which undid a fix for the $INSTALL value
2759	  to make it an absolute path.
2760
276120181006
2762	+ improve a configure check to work with newer optimizers (report by
2763	  Denis Pronin, Gentoo #606142).
2764	+ fix typo in tput.c (Sven Joachim, cf: 20180825).
2765
276620180929
2767	+ fix typo in tvi955 -TD
2768	+ corrected acsc for regent60 -TD
2769	+ add alias n7900 -TD
2770	+ corrected acsc for tvi950 -TD
2771	+ remove bogus kf0 from tvi950 -TD

2773	+ add bel to tvi950 -TD
2774	+ add shifted function-keys to regent60 -TD
2775	+ renumber regent40 function-keys to match manual -TD
2776	+ add cd (clr_eos) to adds200 -TD
2777
277820180923
2779	+ build-fix: remove a _tracef call which was used for debugging (report
2780	  by Chris Clayton).
2781
278220180922
2783	+ ignore interrupted system-call in test/ncurses's command-line, e.g.,
2784	  if the terminal were resized.
2785	+ add shift/control/alt logic for decoding xterm's 1006 mode (Redhat
2786	  #1610681, cf: 20141011).
2787	+ modify rpm test-packages to not use --disable-relink with Redhat,
2788	  since Fedora 28's tools do not work with that feature.
2789
279020180908
2791	+ document --with-pcre2 configure option in INSTALL.
2792	+ improve workaround for special case in PutAttrChar() where a cell is
2793	  marked as alternate-character set, to handle a case where the
2794	  character in the cell does not correspond to any of the ASCII
2795	  fallbacks (report by Leon Winter, cf: 20180505).
2796	+ amend change to form library which attempted to avoid unnecessary
2797	  update of cursor position in non-public fields, to simply disable
2798	  output in this case (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20180414).
2799	+ improve check for LINE_MAX runtime limit, to accommodate broken
2800	  implementations of sysconf().
2801
280220180901
2803	+ improve manual page for wgetnstr, giving background for the length
2804	  parameter.
2805	+ define a limit for wgetnstr, wgetn_wstr when length is negative or
2806	  "too large".
2807	+ update configure script to autoconf 2.52.20180819 (Debian #887390).
2808
280920180825
2810	+ add a section to tput manual page clarifying how it determines the
2811	  terminal size (prompted by discussion with Grant Jenks).
2812	+ add "--disable-relink" to rpm test-packages, for consistency with the
2813	  deb test-packages.
2814	+ split spec-file into ncurses6.spec and ncursest6.spec to work around
2815	  toolset breakage in Fedora 28.
2816	+ drop mention of "--disable-touching", which was not in the final
2817	  20180818 updates.
2818
281920180818
2820	+ build-fix for PDCurses with ncurses-examples.
2821	+ improved CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS.
2822	+ modify configure scripts to reduce relinking/ranlib during library
2823	  install (Debian #903790):
2824	  + use "install -p" when available, to avoid need for ranlib of
2825	    static libraries.
2826	  + modify scripts which use "--disable-relink" to add a 1-second
2827	    sleep to work around tools which use whole-second timestamps, e.g.,
2828	    in utime() rather than the actual file system resolution.
2829
283020180804
2831	+ improve logic for clear with E3 extension, in case the terminal
2832	  scrolls content onto its saved-lines before actually clearing
2833	  the display, by clearing the saved-lines after clearing the
2834	  display (report/patch by Nicholas Marriott).
2835
283620180728
2837	+ improve documentation regarding feature-test macros in curses.h
2838	+ improve documentation regarding the virtual and physical screens.

2845	+ remove ansi+rep mis-added to interix in 2018-02-23 -TD
2846
284720180714
2848	+ add enum, regex examples to test/demo_forms
2849	+ add configure check for pcre-posix library to help with MinGW port.
2850
285120180707
2852	+ build-fixes for gcc8.
2853	+ correct order of WINDOW._ttytype versus WINDOW._windowlist in
2854	  report_offsets.
2855	+ fix a case where tiparm could return null if the format-string was
2856	  empty (Debian #902630).
2857
285820180630
2859	+ add acsc string to vi200 (Nibby Nebbulous)
2860	  add right/down-arrow to vi200's acsc -TD
2861	+ add "x" to tput's getopt string so that "tput -x clear" works
2862	  (Nicholas Marriott).
2863	+ minor fixes prompted by anonymous report on stack overflow:
2864	  + correct order of checks in _nc_get_locale(), for systems lacking
2865	    locale support.
2866	  + add "#error" in a few places to flag unsupported configurations
2867
286820180623
2869	+ use _WIN32/_WIN64 in preference to __MINGW32__/__MINGW64__ symbols
2870	  to simplify building with MSVC, since the former are defined in both
2871	  compiler configurations (report by Ali Abdulkadir).
2872	+ further improvements to configure-checks from work on dialog, i.e.,
2873	  updated CF_ADD_INCDIR, CF_FIND_LINKAGE, CF_GCC_WARNINGS,
2874	  CF_GNU_SOURCE, CF_LARGEFILE, CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE, CF_SIZECHANGE, and
2875	  CF_TRY_XOPEN_SOURCE.
2876	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2877		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
2878
287920180616
2880	+ build-fix for ncurses-examples related to gcc8-fixes (cf: 20180526).
2881	+ reduce use of _GNU_SOURCE for current glibc where _DEFAULT_SOURCE
2882	  combines with _XOPEN_SOURCE (Debian #900987).
2883	+ change target configure level for _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 to address
2884	  use of vsscanf and setenv.
2885	+ improved configure-checks CF_SIZECHANGE and CF_STRUCT_TERMIOS from
2886	  work on dialog.
2887
288820180609
2889	+ modify generated ncurses*config and ncurses.pc, ncursesw.pc, etc.,
2890	  to list helper libraries such as gpm for static linking (Debian
2891	  #900839).
2892	+ marked vwprintw and vwscanw as deprecated; recommend using vw_printw
2893	  and vw_scanw, respectively.
2894
289520180602
2896	+ add RPM test-package "ncursest-examples".
2897	+ modified RPM test-package to work with Mageia6.
2898
289920180526
2900	+ add note in curs_util.3x about unctrl.h
2901	+ review/improve header files to ensure that those include necessary
2902	  files except for the previously-documented cases (report by Isaac
2903	  Pascual Monells).
2904	+ improved test-package scripts, adapted from byacc 1.9 20180525.
2905	+ fix some gcc8 warnings seen in Redhat package build, but
2906	  work around bug in gcc8 compiler warnings in comp_parse.c
2907
290820180519
2909	+ formatting fixes for manpages, regenerate man-html documentation.
2910	+ trim spurious whitespace from tmux in 2018-02-24 changes;
2911	  fix some inconsistencies in/between tmux- and iterm2-entries for SGR
2912	  (report by C Anthony Risinger)
2913	+ improve iterm2 using some xterm features which it has adapted -TD
2914	+ add check in pair_content() to handle the case where caller asks
2915	  for an uninitialized pair (Debian #898658).
2916
291720180512
2918	+ remove trailing ';' from GCC_DEPRECATED definition.
2919	+ repair a change from 20110730 which left an error-check/warning dead.
2920	+ fix several minor Coverity warnings.
2921
292220180505
2923	+ add deprecation warnings for internal functions called by older
2924	  versions of tack.
2925	+ fix a special case in PutAttrChar() where a cell is marked as
2926	  alternate-character set, but the terminal does not actually support
2927	  the given graphic character.  This would happen in an older terminal
2928	  such as vt52, which lacks most line-drawing capability.
2929	+ use configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
2930	  conflict with Debian packages versus test-packages.
2931	+ update tracemunch to work with perl 5.26.2, which changed the rules
2932	  for escaping regular expressions.
2933
293420180428
2935	+ document new form-extension O_EDGE_INSERT_STAY (report by Leon
2936	  Winter).
2937	+ correct error-returns listed in manual pages for a few form functions
2938	  (report by Leon Winter).
2939	+ add a check in form-library for null-pointer dereference:
2940		unfocus_current_field (form);
2941		form_driver (form, REQ_VALIDATION);
2942	  (patch by Leon Winter).
2943
294420180414
2945	+ modify form library to optionally delay cursor movement on a field
2946	  edge/boundary (patch by Leon Winter).
2947	+ modify form library to avoid unnecessary update of cursor position in
2948	  non-public fields (patch by Leon Winter).
2949	+ remove unused _nc_import_termtype2() function.
2950	+ also add/improve null-pointer checks in other places
2951	+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_parse_entry to handle an error when
2952	  a use-name is invalid syntax (report by Chung-Yi Lin).
2953
295420180407
2955	+ clarify in manual pages that vwprintw and vwscanw are obsolete,
2956	  not part of X/Open Curses since 2007.
2957	+ use "const" in some prototypes rather than NCURSES_CONST where X/Open
2958	  Curses was updated to do this, e.g., wscanw, newterm, the terminfo
2959	  interface.  Also use "const" for consistency in the termcap
2960	  interface, which was withdrawn by X/Open Curses in Issue 5 (2007).
2961	  As of Issue 7, X/Open Curses still lacks "const" for certain return
2962	  values, e.g., keyname().
2963
296420180331
2965	+ improve terminfo write/read by modifying the fourth item of the
2966	  extended header to denote the number of valid strings in the extended
2967	  string table (prompted by a comment in unibilium's sources).
2968
296920180324
2970	+ amend Scaled256() macro in test/picsmap.c to cover the full range
2971	  0..1000 (report by Roger Pau Monne).
2972	+ add some checks in tracemunch for undefined variables.
2973	+ trim some redundant capabilities from st-0.7 -TD
2974	+ trim unnecessary setf/setb from interix -TD
2975
297620180317
2977	+ fix a check in infotocap which may not have detected a problem when
2978	  it should have.
2979	+ add a check in tic for the case where setf/setb are given using
2980	  different strings, but provide identical results to setaf/setab.
2981	+ further improve fix for terminfo.5 (patch by Kir Kolyshkin).
2982	+ reorder loop-limit checks in winsnstr() in case the string has no
2983	  terminating null and only the number of characters is used (patch
2984	  by Gyorgy Jeney).
2985
298620180303
2987	+ modify TurnOn/TurnOff macros in lib_vidattr.c and lib_vid_attr.c to
2988	  avoid expansion of "CUR" in trace.
2989	+ improve a few lintian warnings in test-packages.
2990	+ modify lib_setup to avoid calling pthread_self() without first
2991	  verifying that the address is valid, i.e., for weak symbols
2992	  (report/patch by Werner Fink).
2993	+ modify generated terminfo.5 to not use "expand" and related width
2994	  on the last column of tables, making layout on wide terminals look
2995	  better (adapted from patch by Kir Kolyshkin).
2996	+ add a category to report_offsets, e.g., "w" for wide-character, "t"
2997	  for threads to make the report more readable.  Reorganized the
2998	  structures reported to make the categories more apparent.
2999	+ simplify some ifdef's for extended-colors.
3000	+ add NCURSES_GLOBALS and NCURSES_PRESCREEN to report_offsets, to show
3001	  how similar the different tinfo configurations are.
3002
300320180224
3004	+ modify _nc_resolve_uses2() to detect incompatible types when merging
3005	  a "use=" clause of extended capabilities.  The problem was seen in a
3006	  defective terminfo integrated from simpleterm sources in 20171111,
3007	  compounded by repair in 20180121.
3008	+ correct Ss/Ms interchange in st-0.7 entry (tmux #1264) -TD
3009	+ fix remaining flash capabilities with trailing mandatory delays -TD
3010	+ correct cut/paste in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim).
3011
301220180217
3013	+ remove incorrect free() from 20170617 changes (report by David Macek).
3014	+ correct type for "U8" in user_caps.5; it is a number not boolean.
3015	+ add a null-pointer check in safe_sprintf.c (report by Steven Noonan).

3021	  the build-directory happens to have no ".pc" files when an uninstall
3022	  is performed (report by Jeffrey Walton).
3023	+ deprecate safe-sprintf, since the vsnprintf function, which does what
3024	  was needed, was standardized long ago.
3025	+ add several development/experimental options to development packages.
3026	+ minor reordering of options in configure script to make the threaded
3027	  and reentrant options distinct from the other extensions which are
3028	  normally enabled.
3029
303020180203
3031	+ minor fixes to test/*.h to make them idempotent.
3032	+ add/use test/parse_rgb.h to show how the "RGB" capability works.
3033	+ add a clarification in user_caps.5 regarding "RGB" capability.
3034	+ add extended_slk_color{,_sp} symbols to the appropriate
3035	  package/*.{map,sym} files (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20170401).

3087	> merge branch begun April 2, 2017 which provides these features:
3088	+ support read/write new binary-format for terminfo which stores
3089	  numeric capabilities as a signed 32-bit integer.  The test programs
3090	  such as picsmap, ncurses were created or updated during 2017 to use
3091	  this feature.
3092	+ the new format is written by the wide-character configuration of
3093	  tic when it finds a numeric capability larger than 32767.
3094	+ other applications such as infocmp built with the wide-character
3095	  ncurses library work as expected.
3096	+ applications built with the "narrow" (8-bit) configuration will
3097	  read the new format, but will limit those extended values to 32767.
3098	+ in either wide/narrow configuration, the structure defined in
3099	  term.h still uses signed 16-bit values.
3100	+ because it is incompatible with the legacy (mid-1980s) binary format,
3101	  a new magic value is provided for the "file" program.
3102	+ the term.5 manual page is updated to describe this new format.
3103	+ the limit on file-size for compiled terminfo is increased in the
3104	  wide-character configuration to 32768.
3105
310620180120
3107	+ build-fix in picsmap.c for stdint.h existence.
3108	+ add --disable-stripping option to configure scripts.
3109	+ modify ncurses-examples to install test-scripts in the data directory.
3110	+ work around tool-breakage in Debian 9 and later by invoking
3111	  gprconfig to specify the C compiler to be used by gnatmake,
3112	  and conditionally suppressing Library_Options line for static
3113	  libraries.
3114	+ bump the compat level for test-packages to 7, i.e., Debian 5.
3115
311620180106
3117	+ fixes for writing extended color pairs in putwin.
3118	+ modify test/savescreen.c to add test patterns that exercise 88-,
3119	  256-, etc., colors.
3120	+ modify configure option --with-build-cc, adding clang, c89 and c99
3121	  as possible default values.
3122	+ modify ncurses-examples configure script to use pkg-config for the
3123	  extra form/menu/panel libraries, to be more consistent with the
3124	  handling of the curses/ncurses library.
3125	+ modify test-packages for mingw to supply "pc" files.
3126	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to list -lpthread as a private library when
3127	  configured to access it via weak symbols.
3128	+ simplify gen-pkgconfig.in, adding -ltinfo without the special linker
3129	  checks because some versions of the linker simply hard-code the
3130	  behavior.
3131	+ update URLs for ncurses website to use https.
3132	+ modify CF_CURSES_LIBS to fill in $cf_nculib_root in case the
3133	  ncurses-examples are built with a system ncurses that lacks the
3134	  standard "curses" symbolic link, as done by SuSE.  The symbol is
3135	  needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and
3136	  would be set properly using the options "--with-screen", etc.
3137	+ generate misc/*.pc with "all" rule, as done for "sources" rule
3138	  (report by Jeffrey Walton).
3139
314020171230
3141	+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with Fedora27, adding check for
3142	  reset_color_pairs() -- not yet in Fedora's package.
3143	+ consistently add $CFLAGS to $MK_SHARED_LIB symbol in configure
3144	  script when the latter happens to use the C compiler rather than
3145	  directly using the loader (report by Jeffrey Walton).
3146	+ set ABI for upcoming 6.1 release in "*.map" files.  While there are
3147	  some remaining internals to apply, no ABI-related changes are
3148	  anticipated.
3149	+ add configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
3150	  conflict with Redhat packages versus test-packages.
3151
315220171223
3153	+ modify ncurses-examples to quiet const-warnings when building with
3154	  PDCurses.
3155	+ modify toe to not exit if unable to read a terminal description,
3156	  e.g., if there is a permission problem.
3157	+ minor fix for progs/toe.c, using _nc_free_termtype2.
3158	+ assign 0 to pointer in _nc_tgetent_leak() after freeing it. Also
3159	  avoid reusing pointer from previous successful call to tgetent
3160	  if the latest call is unsuccessful (patch by Michael Schroeder,
3161	  OpenSuSE #1070450).
3162	+ minor fix for test/tracemunch, initialize $awaiting variable.
3163
316420171216
3165	+ repair template in test/package/ncurses-examples.spec (cf: 20171111).
3166	+ improve tic's warning about the number of parameters tparm might use
3167	  for u1-u9 by making a special case for u6.
3168	+ improve curs_attr.3x discussion of color pairs.
3169
317020171209
3171	+ modify misc/ncurses-config.in to make output with --includedir
3172	  consistent with --cflags, i.e., when --disable-overwrite option was
3173	  configured the output should show the subdirectory where headers
3174	  are.
3175	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to suppress macros when calling an "implemented"
3176	  function in link_test.c
3177	+ updated ftp-url used in test-packages, etc.
3178	+ modify order of -pie/-shared options in configure script in case
3179	  LDFLAGS uses "-pie", working around a defect or limitation in the GNU
3180	  linker (prompted by patch by Yogesh Prasad, forwarded by Jay Shah).
3181	+ add entry in man_db.renames for user_caps.5
3182
318320171125
3184	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid tracing result from getstr/getnstr
3185	  before initialized.
3186	+ add "-a" aspect-ratio option to picsmap.
3187	+ add configure check for default path of rgb.txt, used in picsmap.
3188	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to truncate too-long filename (report by
3189	  Hosein Askari, Debian #882620).
3190	+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with NetBSD curses:
3191	  + it lacks the use_env() function.
3192	  + it lacks libpanel; a recent change used the wrong ifdef symbol.
3193	+ add a macro for is_linetouched() and adjust the function's return
3194	  value to make it possible for most applications to check for an
3195	  error-return (report by Midolikawa H).
3196	+ additional manpage cleanup.
3197	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
3198		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
3199
320020171118
3201	+ add a note to curs_addch.3x on portability.
3202	+ add a note to curs_pad.3x on the origin and portability of pads.
3203	+ improve manpage description of getattrs (report by Midolikawa H).
3204	+ improve manpage macros (prompted by discussion in Debian #880551.
3205	+ reviewed test-programs using KEY_RESIZE, made fixes to test/worm.c
3206	+ add a "-d" option to picsmap for default-colors.
3207	+ modify old terminology entry and a few other terminal emulators to
3208	  account for xon -TD
3209	+ correct sgr string for tmux, which used screen's "standout" code
3210	  rather than the standard code (patch by Roman Kagan)
3211	+ correct sgr/sgr0 strings in a few other cases reported by tic, making
3212	  those correspond to the non-sgr settings where they differ, but
3213	  otherwise use ECMA-48 consistently:
3214	  jaixterm, aixterm, att5420_2, att4424, att500, decansi, d410-7b,
3215	  dm80, hpterm, emu-220, hp2, iTerm2.app, mterm-ansi, ncrvt100an,
3216	  st-0.7, vi603, vwmterm -TD
3217	+ build-fix for diagnostics warning in lib_mouse.c for pre-5.0 versions
3218	  of gcc which did not recognize the diagnostic "push" pragma (patch by
3219	  Vassili Courzakis).
3220
322120171111
3222	+ add "op" to xterm+256setaf -TD
3223	+ reviewed terminology 1.0.0 -TD
3224	+ reviewed st 0.7 -TD
3225	+ suppress debug-package for ncurses-examples rpm build.
3226
322720171104
3228	+ check for interrupt in color-pair initialization of dots_curses.c,
3229	  dots_xcurses.c
3230	+ add z/Z zoom feature to test/ncurses.c C/c screens.
3231	+ add '<' and '>' commands to test/ncurses.c S/s screens, to better
3232	  test off-by-ones in the overlap/copywin functions.
3233
323420171028
3235	+ improve man/curs_inwstr.3x, correct end-logic for lib_inwstr.c
3236	  (report by Midolikawa H).
3237	+ fix typo in a few places for "improvements" (patch by Sven Joachim).
3238	+ clear the other half of a double-width character on which a line
3239	  drawing character is drawn.
3240	+ make test/ncurses.c "s" test easier to understand which subtests are
3241	  available; add a "S" wide-character overlap test-screen.
3242	+ modify test/ncurses.c C/c tests to allow for extended color pairs.
3243	+ add endwin() call in error-returns from test/ncurses.c omitted in
3244	  recent redesign of its menu (cf: 20170923).
3245	+ improve install of hashed-db by removing the ".db" file as done for
3246	  directory-tree terminal databases.
3247	+ repair a few overlooked items in include/ncurses_defs from recent
3248	  port/refactoring of test-programs (cf: 20170909).
3249	+ add test/padview.c, to compare pads with direct updates in view.c
3250
325120171021
3252	+ modify test/view.c to expand tabs using the ncurses library rather
3253	  than in the test-program.
3254	+ remove very old SIGWINCH example in test/view.c, just use KEY_RESIZE.
3255	+ add -T, -e, -f -m options to "dots" test-programs.
3256	+ fix a few typos in usage-messages for test-programs.
3257
325820171014
3259	+ minor cleanup to test/view.c:
3260	  + eliminate "-n" option by simply reading the whole file.
3261	  + implement page up/down commands.
3262	+ add check in tput for init/reset operands to ensure those use a
3263	  terminal.
3264	+ improve manual pages which discuss chtype, cchar_t types and the
3265	  attribute values which can be stored in those types.
3266	+ correct array-index when parsing "-T" command-line option in tabs
3267	  program.
3268	+ modify demo_new_pair.c to pass extended pairs to setcchar().
3269	+ add test/dots_xcurses.c to illustrate a different approach used for
3270	  extended colors which can be contrasted with dots_curses.c.
3271	+ add a check in tic to note when a description uses non-mandatory
3272	  delays without xon_xoff.  This is not an error, but some descriptions
3273	  for a terminal emulator may use the combination incorrectly.
3274
327520171007
3276	+ modify "-T" option of clear and tput to call use_tioctl() to obtain
3277	  the operating system's notion of the screensize if possible.
3278	+ review/repair some exit-codes for tput, making usage-message exit
3279	  with 2 rather than 1, and a failure to open terminal 4+errno.
3280	+ amend check in tput, tabs and clear to allow those to use the
3281	  database-only features in cron if a -T option gives a suitable
3282	  terminal name (report by Lauri Tirkkonen).
3283	+ correct an ifdef in test/ncurses.c for systems with soft-keys but
3284	  not slk_color().
3285	+ regenerate man-html documentation.
3286
328720170930
3288	+ fix a symbol conflict that made ncurses.c C/c menu not work with
3289	  Solaris xpg4 curses.
3290	+ add refresh() call to dots_mvcur.c, needed to use mvcur() with
3291	  Solaris xpg4 curses after calling newterm().
3292	+ minor fixes for configure script from work on ncurses-examples and
3293	  tin.
3294	+ improve animation in test/xmas.c by adding a time-delay in blinkit().
3295	+ modify several test programs to reflect that ncurses honors existing
3296	  signal handlers in initscr(), while other implementations do not.
3297	+ modify bs.c to make it easier to quit.
3298	+ change ncurses-examples to use attr_t vs chtype to follow X/Open
3299	  documentation more closely since Solaris xpg4-curses uses different
3300	  values for WA_xxx vs A_xxx that rely on attr_t being an unsigned
3301	  short.  Tru64 aka OSF1, HPUX, AIX did as ncurses does, equating the
3302	  two sets.
3303
330420170923
3305	+ modify menu for test/ncurses.c to fit on 24-line screen.

3310	+ minor fix to test/filter.c to avoid clearing the command in one case.
3311	+ modify filter() to discard clr_eos if back_color_erase is set.
3312
331320170909
3314	+ improve wide-character implementation of myADDNSTR() in frm_driver.c,
3315	  which was inconsistent with the normal implementation.
3316	+ save/restore cursor position in Undo_Justification(), matching
3317	  behavior of Buffer_To_Window() (report by Leon Winter).
3318	+ modify test/knight to provide the "slow" solution for small screens
3319	  using "R", noting that Warnsdorf's method is easily done with "a".
3320	+ modify several test-programs which call use_default_colors() to
3321	  consistently do this only if "-d" option is given.
3322	+ additional changes to test with non-standard variants of curses:
3323	  + modify a loop limit in firework.c to work around absence of limit
3324	    checks in some libraries.
3325	  + fill the last row of a window with "?" in firstlast if waddch does
3326	    not return ERR on the lower-right corner.
3327	+ add checks in test/configure for some functions not in 4.3BSD curses.
3328	+ fix a regression in test/configure (cf: 20170826).
3329
333020170902
3331	+ amend change for endwin-state for better consistency with the older
3332	  logic (report/patch by Jeb Rosen, cf: 20170722).
3333	+ modify check in fmt_entry() to handle a cancelled reset string
3334	  (Debian #873746).  Make similar fixes in other parts of dump_entry.c
3335	  and tput.c
3336
333720170827
3338	+ fix a bug in repeat_char logic (cf: 20170729, report by Chris Clayton).
3339
334020170826
3341	+ fixes for "iterm2" (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
3342	+ corrected a warning from tic about keys which are the same, to skip
3343	  over missing/cancelled values.
3344	+ add check in tic for unnecessary use of "2" to denote a shifted
3345	  special key.
3346	+ improve checks in trim_sgr0, comp_parse.c and parse_entry.c, for
3347	  cancelled string capabilities.
3348	+ add check in _nc_parse_entry() for invalid entry name, setting the
3349	  name to "invalid" to avoid problems storing entries.
3350	+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
3351	  + add a check in comp_scan.c to handle the special case where a
3352	    nontext file ending with a NUL rather than newline is given to tic
3353	    as input (Redhat #1484274).
3354	  + allow for cancelled capabilities in _nc_save_str (Redhat #1484276).
3355	  + add validity checks for "use=" target in _nc_parse_entry (Redhat
3356	    #1484284).
3357	  + check for invalid strings in postprocess_termcap (Redhat #1484285)
3358	  + reset secondary pointers on EOF in next_char() (Redhat #1484287).
3359	  + guard _nc_safe_strcpy() and _nc_safe_strcat() against calls using
3360	    cancelled strings (Redhat #1484291).
3361	+ correct typo in curs_memleaks.3x (Sven Joachim).
3362	+ improve test/configure checks for some curses variants not based on
3363	  X/Open Curses.
3364	+ add options for test/configure to disable checks for form, menu and
3365	  panel libraries.
3366
336720170819
3368	+ update "iterm" entry -TD

3377	+ add options -T and -V to clear command for compatibility with tput.
3378	+ add usage message to clear command (Debian #371855).
3379	+ improve usage messages for tset and tput.
3380	+ minor fixes to "RGB" extension and reset_color_pairs().
3381

3386	+ add user_caps.5 manual page to document the terminfo extensions used
3387	  by ncurses.
3388	+ improve build scripts, using SIGQUIT vs SIGTRAP; add other configure
3389	  script fixes from work on xterm, lynx and tack.
3390	+ modify install-rule for ncurses-examples to put the data files in
3391	  /usr/share/ncurses-examples
3392	+ improve tracemunch, by changing address-parameters of add_wch(),
3393	  color_content() and pair_content() to dummy parameters.
3394	+ minor optimization to _nc_change_pair, to return quickly when the
3395	  current screen is marked for clearing.
3396	+ in-progress changes to improve performance of test/picsmap.c for
3397	  loading image files.
3398	+ modify allocation for SCREEN's color-pair table to start small, grow
3399	  on demand up to the existing limit.
3400	+ add "RGB" extension capability for direct-color support, use this to
3401	  improve color_content().
3402	+ improve picsmap test-program:
3403	  + if no palette file is needed, attempt to load one based on $TERM,
3404	    checking first in the current directory, then by adding ".dat"
3405	    suffix, and finally in the data-directory, e.g.,
3406	    /usr/share/ncurses-examples
3407	  + add "-l" option for logging
3408	  + add "-d" option for debugging
3409	  + add "-s" option for stepping automatically through list of images,
3410	    with time delay.
3411	  + use tsearch to improve time for loading color table for images.
3412	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
3413		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
3414
341520170729
3416	+ update interix entry using tack and SFU on Windows 7 Ultimate -TD
3417	+ use ^? for kdch1 in interix (reported by Jonathan de Boyne Pollard)
3418	+ add "rep" to xterm-new, available since 1997/01/26 -TD
3419	+ move SGR 24 and 27 from vte-2014 to vte-2012 (request by Alain
3420	  Williams) -TD
3421	+ add a check in newline_forces_scroll() in case a program moves the
3422	  cursor outside scrolling margins (report by Robert King).
3423	+ improve _nc_tparm_analyze, using that to extend the checks made by
3424	  tic for reporting inconsistencies between the expected number of
3425	  parameters for a capability and the actual.
3426	+ amend handling of repeat_char capability in EmitRange (adapted from
3427	  report/patch by Dick Wesseling):
3428	  + translate the character to the alternate character set when the
3429	    alternate character set is enabled.
3430	  + do not use repeat_char for characters past 255.
3431	+ document "_nc_free_tinfo" in manual page, because it could be used in
3432	  tack for memory-leak checking.
3433	+ add "--without-tack" configure option to refine "--with-progs"
3434	  configure option.  Normally tack is no longer built in-tree, but
3435	  a few packagers combine it during the build.  If term_entry.h is
3436	  installed, there is no advantage to in-tree builds.
3437	+ adjust configure-script to define HAVE_CURSES_DATA_BOOLNAMES symbol
3438	  needed for tack 1.08 when built in-tree.  Rather than relying upon
3439	  internal "_nc_" functions, tack now uses the boolean, number and
3440	  string capability name-arrays provided by ncurses and SVr4 Unix
3441	  curses.  It still uses term_entry.h for the definitions of the
3442	  extended capability arrays.
3443	+ add an overlooked null-pointer check in mvcur changes from 20170722
3444
344520170722
3446	+ improve test-packages for ncurses-examples and AdaCurses for lintian
3447	+ modify logic for endwin-state to be able to detect the case where
3448	  the screen was never initialized, using that to trigger a flush of
3449	  ncurses' buffer for mvcur, e.g., in test/dots_mvcur.c for the
3450	  term-driver configuration.
3451	+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to a few other internal header
3452	  files to allow each to be compiled separately.
3453	+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to tic's header-files; any program
3454	  using tic-library will have to supply this file.  Legacy tack
3455	  versions supply this file; ongoing tack development has dropped the
3456	  dependency upon tic-library and new releases will not be affected.
3457
345820170715
3459	+ modify command-line parameters for "convert" used in picsmap to work
3460	  with ImageMagick 6.8 and newer.
3461	+ fix build-problem with tack and ABI-5 (Debian #868328).
3462	+ repair termcap-format from tic/infocmp broken in 20170701 fixes
3463	  (Debian #868266).
3464	+ reformat terminfo.src with 20170513 updates.
3465	+ improve test-packages to address lintian warnings.
3466
346720170708
3468	+ add a note to tic manual page about -W versus -f options.
3469	+ correct a limit-check in fixes from 20170701 (report by Sven Joachim).
3470
347120170701
3472	+ modify update_getenv() in db_iterator.c to ensure that environment
3473	  variables which are not initially set will be checked later if an
3474	  application happens to set them (patch by Guillaume Maudoux).
3475	+ remove initialization-check for calling napms() in the term-driver
3476	  configuration; none is needed.
3477	+ add help-screen to test/test_getstr.c and test/test_get_wstr.c
3478	+ improve compatibility between different configurations of new_prescr,
3479	  fixing a case with threaded code and term-driver where c++/demo did
3480	  not work (cf: 20160213).
3481	+ the fixes for Redhat #1464685 obscured a problem subsequently
3482	  reported in Redhat #1464687; the given test-case was no longer
3483	  reproducible.  Testing without the fixes for the earlier reports
3484	  showed a problem with buffer overflow in dump_entry.c, which is
3485	  addressed by reducing the use of a fixed-size buffer.
3486	+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
3487	  (Redhat #1464684, #1464685, #1464686, #1464691).
3488	  + alloc_entry.c, add a check for a null-pointer.
3489	  + parse_entry.c, add several checks for valid pointers as well as
3490	    one check to ensure that a single character on a line is not
3491	    treated as the 2-character termcap short-name.
3492	+ fix a memory leak in delscreen() (report by Bai Junq).
3493	+ improve tracemunch, showing thread identifiers as names.
3494	+ fix a use-after-free in NCursesMenu::~NCursesMenu()
3495	+ further amend incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
3496	  (report by Allen Hewes).
3497
349820170624
3499	+ modify c++/etip.h.in to accommodate deprecation of throw() and
3500	  throws() in c++17 (prompted by patch by Romain Geissler).
3501	+ remove some incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
3502	  (report by Allen Hewes).
3503	+ add test-programs for termattrs and term_attrs.
3504	+ modify _nc_outc_wrapper to use the standard output if the screen was
3505	  not initialized, rather than returning an error.
3506	+ improve checks for low-level terminfo functions when the terminal
3507	  has not been initialized (Redhat #1345963).
3508	+ modify make_hash to allow building with address-sanitizer,
3509	  assuming that --disable-leaks is configured.
3510	+ amend changes for number_format() in 20170506 to avoid undefined
3511	  behavior when shifting (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
3512
351320170617
3514	+ fill in some places where TERMTYPE2 vs TERMTYPE was not used
3515	  (report by Allen Hewes).
3516	+ use ExitTerminfo() internally in error-exits for ncurses' setupterm
3517	  to help with leak checking.
3518	+ use ExitProgram() in error-exit from initscr() to help with leak
3519	  checking.
3520	+ review test-programs, adding checks for cases where the terminal
3521	  cannot be initialized.
3522
352320170610
3524	+ add option "-xp" to picsmap.c, to use init_extended_pair().
3525	+ make simple performance fixes for picsmap.c
3526	+ improve aspect ratio of images read from "convert" in picsmap.c
3527
352820170603
3529	+ add option to picsmap to use color-palette files, e.g., for mapping
3530	  to xterm-256color.
3531	+ move the data in SCREEN used for the alloc_pair() function to the
3532	  end, to restore compatibility between ncurses/ncursesw libtinfo
3533	  (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
3534	+ add build-time utility "report_offsets" to help show when the various
3535	  configurations of tinfo library are compatible or not.
3536
353720170527
3538	+ improved test/picsmap.c:
3539	  + lookup named colors for xpm files in rgb.txt
3540	  + accept blanks in color-keys for xpm files.
3541	  + if neither xbm/xpm work, try "convert", which may be available.
3542
354320170520
3544	+ modify test/picsmap.c to read xpm files.
3545	+ modify package/debian/* to create documentation packages, so the
3546	  related files can be checked with lintian.
3547	+ fix some typos in manpages (report/patch by Sven Joachim).
3548
354920170513
3550	+ add test/picsmap.c to fill in some testing issues not met by dots.
3551	  The initial version reads X bitmap (".xbm") files.
3552	+ repair logic which forces a repaint where a color-pair's content is
3553	  changed (cf: 20170311).
3554	+ improve tracemunch, showing screenXX pointers as names.
3555
355620170506
3557	+ modify tic/infocmp display of numeric values to use hexadecimal when
3558	  they are "close" to a power of two, making the result more readable.
3559	+ improve discussion of portability in curs_mouse.3x
3560	+ change line-length for generated html/manpages to 78 columns from 65.
3561	+ improve discussion of line-drawing characters in curs_add_wch.3x
3562	  (prompted by discussion with Lorinczy Zsigmond).
3563	+ cleanup formatting of hackguide.html and ncurses-intro.html
3564	+ add examples for WACS_D_PLUS and WACS_T_PLUS to test/ncurses.c
3565
356620170429
3567	+ corrected a case where $with_gpm was set to "maybe" after CF_WITH_GPM,
3568	  overlooked in 20160528 fixes (report by Alexandre Bury).
3569	+ improve a couple of test-program's help-messages.
3570	+ corrected loop in rain.c from 20170415 changes.
3571	+ modify winnstr and winchnstr to return error if the output pointer is
3572	  null, as well as adding a null pointer check of the window pointer
3573	  for better compatibility with other implementations.
3574	+ improve discussion of NetBSD curses in scr_dump.5
3575	+ modify LIMIT_TYPED macro in new_pair.h to avoid changing sign of the
3576	  value to be limited (reports by Darby Payne, Rob Boudreau).
3577	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
3578		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
3579
358020170422
3581	+ build-fix for termcap-configuration (report by Chi-Hsuan Yen).
3582	+ improve terminfo manual page discussion of control- and graphics-
3583	  characters.
3584	+ remove tic warning about "^?" in string capabilities, which was
3585	  marked as an extension (cf: 20000610, 20110820); however all Unix
3586	  implementations support this and X/Open Curses does not address it.
3587	  On the other hand, termcap never did support this feature.
3588	+ correct missing comma-separator between string capabilities in
3589	  icl6402 and m2-nam -TD
3590	+ restore rmir/smir in ansi+idc to better match original ansiterm+idc,
3591	  add alias ansiterm (report by Robert King).
3592	+ amend an old check for ambiguous use of "ma" in terminfo versus
3593	  a termcap use, if the capability is cancelled to treat it as number.
3594	+ correct a case in _nc_captoinfo() which read "%%" and emitted "%".
3595	+ modify sscanf calls in _nc_infotocap() for patterns "%{number}%+%c"
3596	  and "%'char'%+%c" to check that the final character is really 'c',
3597	  avoiding a case in icl6404 which cannot be converted to termcap.
3598	+ in _nc_infotocap(), add a check to ensure that terminfo "^?" is not
3599	  written to termcap, because the BSDs did not implement that.
3600	+ in _nc_tic_expand() and _nc_infotocap(), improve string-length check
3601	  when deciding whether to use "^X" or "\xxx" format for control
3602	  characters, to make the output of tic/infocmp more predictable.
3603	+ limit termcap "%d" width to 2 digits on input, and use "%2" in
3604	  preference to "%02" on output.
3605	+ correct terminfo/termcap conversion of "%02" and "%03" into "%2" and
3606	  "%3"; the result repeated the last character.
3607	+ add man/scr_dump.5 to document screen-dump format.
3608
360920170415
3610	+ modify several test programs to use new popup_msgs, adapted from
3611	  help-screen used in test/edit_field.c
3612	+ drop two symbols obsoleted in 2004: _nc_check_termtype, and
3613	  _nc_resolve_uses
3614	+ fix some old copyright dates (cf: 20031025).
3615	+ build-fixes for test/savescreen.c to work with AIX and HPUX.
3616	+ minor fix to configure script, adding a backslash/continuation.
3617	+ extend TERMINAL structure for ABI 6 to store numbers internally as
3618	  integers rather than short, by adding new data for this purpose.
3619	+ more fixes for minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
3620
362120170408
3622	+ change logic in wins_nwstr() to avoid addressing data past the output
3623	  of mbstowcs().
3624	+ correct a call to setcchar() in Data_Entry_w() from 20131207 changes.
3625	+ fix minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
3626	+ further improve ifdef in term_entry.h for internal definitions not
3627	  used by tack.
3628
362920170401
3630	+ minor fixes for vt100+4bsd, e.g., delay in sgr for consistency -TD
3631	+ add smso for env230, to match sgr -TD
3632	+ remove p7/protect from sgr in fbterm -TD
3633	+ drop setf/setb from fbterm; setaf/setab are enough -TD
3634	+ make xterm-pcolor sgr consistent with other capabilities -TD
3635	+ add rmxx/smxx ECMA-48 strikeout extension to tmux and xterm-basic
3636	  (discussion with Nicholas Marriott)
3637	+ add test-programs sp_tinfo and extended_color
3638	+ modify no-leaks code for lib_cur_term.c to account for the tgetent()
3639	  cache.
3640	+ modify setupterm() to save original tty-modes so that erasechar()
3641	  works as expected.  Also modify _nc_setupscreen() to avoid redundant
3642	  calls to get original tty-modes.
3643	+ modify set_curterm() to update ttytype[] data used by longname().
3644	+ modify wattr_set() and wattr_get() to return ERR if win-parameter is
3645	  null, as documented.
3646	+ improve cast used for null-pointer checks in header macros, to
3647	  reduce compiler warnings.
3648	+ modify several functions, using the reserved "opts" parameter to pass
3649	  color- and pair-values larger than 16-bits:
3650	  + getcchar(), setcchar(), slk_attr_set(), vid_puts(), wattr_get(),
3651	    wattr_set(), wchgat(), wcolor_set().
3652	  + Other functions call these with the corresponding altered behavior,
3653	    including chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat(), slk_color_on(),
3654	    slk_color_off(), vid_attr().
3655	+ add new functions for manipulating color- and pair-values larger
3656	  than 16-bits.  These are extended_color_content(),
3657	  extended_pair_content(), extended_slk_color(), init_extended_color(),
3658	  init_extended_pair(), and the corresponding sp-funcs.
3659
366020170325
3661	+ fix a memory leak in the window-list when creating multiple screens
3662	  (reports by Andres Martinelli, Debian #783486).
3663	+ reviewed calls from link_test.c, added a few more null-pointer
3664	  checks.
3665	+ add a null-pointer check in ungetmouse, in case mousemask was not
3666	  called (report by "Kau").
3667	+ updated curs_sp_funcs.3x for new functions.
3668
366920170318
3670	+ change TERMINAL structure in term.h to make it opaque.  Some
3671	  applications misuse its members, e.g., directly modifying it
3672	  rather than using def_prog_mode().
3673	+ modify utility headers such as tic.h to make it clearer which are
3674	  externals that are used by tack.
3675	+ improve curs_slk.3x in particular its discussion of portability.
3676	+ fix cut/paste in legacy_encoding.3x
3677	+ add prototype for find_pair() to new_pair.3x (report by Branden
3678	  Robinson).
3679	+ fix a couple of broken links in generated man-html documentation.
3680	+ regenerate man-html documentation.
3681
368220170311
3683	+ modify vt100 rs2 string to reset vt52 mode and scrolling regions
3684	  (report/analysis by Robert King) -TD
3685	+ add vt100+4bsd building block, use that for older terminals rather
3686	  than "vt100" which is now mostly used as a building block for
3687	  terminal emulators -TD
3688	+ correct a few spelling errors in terminfo.src comments -TD
3689	+ add fbterm -TD
3690	+ fix a typo in ncurses.c test_attr legend (patch by Petr Vanek).
3691	+ changed internal colorpair_t to a struct, eliminating an internal
3692	  8-bit limit on colors
3693	+ add ncurses/new_pair.h
3694	+ add ncurses/base/new_pair.c with alloc_pair(), find_pair() and
3695	  free_pair() functions
3696	+ add test/demo_new_pair.c
3697
369820170304
3699	+ improve terminfo manual description of terminfo syntax.
3700	+ clarify the use of wint_t vs wchar_t in curs_get_wstr.3x
3701	+ improve description of endwin() in manual.
3702	+ modify setcchar() and getcchar() to treat negative color-pair as an
3703	  error.
3704	+ fix a typo in include/hashed_db.h (Andre Sa).
3705
370620170225
3707	+ fixes for CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS (report by Ross Burton).
3708
370920170218
3710	+ fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
3711	+ correct read of terminfo entry in which all strings are absent or
3712	  explicitly cancelled.  Before this fix, the result was that all were
3713	  treated as only absent.
3714	+ modify infocmp to suppress mixture of absent/cancelled capabilities
3715	  that would only show as "NULL, NULL", unless the -q option is used,
3716	  e.g., to show "-, @" or "@, -".
3717
371820170212
3719	+ build-fixes for PGI compilers (report by Adam J. Stewart)
3720	  + accept whitespace in sed expression for generating expanded.c
3721	  + modify configure check that g++ compiler warnings are not used.
3722	  + add configure check for -fPIC option needed for shared libraries.
3723	+ let configure --disable-ext-funcs override the default for the
3724	  --enable-sp-funcs option.
3725	+ mark some structs in form/menu/panel libraries as potentially opaque
3726	  without modifying API/ABI.
3727	+ add configure option --enable-opaque-curses for ncurses library and
3728	  similar options for the other libraries.
3729
373020170204
3731	+ trim newlines, tabs and escaped newlines from terminfo "paths" passed
3732	  to db-iterator.
3733	+ ignore zero-length files in db-iterator; these are useful for
3734	  instance to suppress "$HOME/.terminfo" when not wanted.
3735	+ amended "b64:" encoder to work with the terminfo reader.
3736	+ modify terminfo reader to accept "b64:" format using RFC-3548 in
3737	  as well as RFC-4648 url/filename-safe format.
3738	+ modify terminfo reader to accept "hex:" format as generated by
3739	  "infocmp -0qQ1" (cf: 20150905).
3740	+ adjust authors comment to reflect drop below 1% for SV.
3741
374220170128
3743	+ minor comment-fixes to help automate links to bug-urls -TD
3744	+ add dvtm, dvtm-256color -TD
3745	+ add settings corresponding to xterm-keys option to tmux entry to
3746	  reflect upcoming change to make that option "on" by default
3747	  (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
3748	+ uncancel Ms in tmux entry (Harry Gindi, Nicholas Marriott).
3749	+ add dumb-emacs-ansi -TD
3750
375120170121
3752	+ improve discussion of early history of tput program.
3753	+ incorporate A_COLOR mask into COLOR_PAIR(), in case user application
3754	  provides an out-of-range pair number (report by Elijah Stone).
3755	+ clarify description in tput manual page regarding support for
3756	  termcap names (prompted by FreeBSD #214709).
3757	+ remove a restriction in tput's support for termcap names which
3758	  omitted capabilities normally not shown in termcap translations
3759	  (cf: 990123).
3760	+ modify configure script for clang as used on FreeBSD, to work around
3761	  clang's differences in exit codes vs gcc.
3762
376320170114
3764	+ improve discussion of early history of tset/reset programs.
3765	+ clarify in manual pages that the optional verbose option level is
3766	  available only when ncurses is configured for tracing.
3767	+ amend change from 20161231 to avoid writing traces to the standard
3768	  error after initializing the trace feature using the environment
3769	  variable.
3770
377120170107
3772	+ amend changes for tput to reset tty modes to "sane" if the program
3773	  is run as "reset", like tset.  Likewise, ensure that tset sends
3774	  either reset- or init-strings.
3775	+ improve manual page descriptions of tput init/reset and tset/reset,
3776	  to make it easier to see how they are similar and different.
3777	+ move a static result from key_name() to _nc_globals
3778	+ modify _nc_get_screensize to allow for use_env() and use_tioctl()
3779	  state to be per-screen when sp-funcs are configured, better matching
3780	  the behavior when using the term-driver configuration.
3781	+ improve cross-references in manual pages for often used functions
3782	+ move SCREEN field for use_tioctl() data before the ncursesw fields,
3783	  and limit that to the sp-funcs configuration to improve termlib
3784	  compatibility (cf:  20120714).
3785	+ correct order of initialization for traces in use_env() and
3786	  use_tioctl() versus first trace calls.
3787
378820161231
3789	+ fix errata for ncurses-howto (report by Damien Ruscoe).
3790	+ fix a few places in configure/build scripts where DESTDIR and rpath
3791	  were combined (report by Thomas Klausner).
3792	+ merge current st description (report by Harry Gindi) -TD
3793	+ modify flash capability for linux and wyse entries to put the delay
3794	  between the reverse/normal escapes rather than after -TD
3795	+ modify program tabs to pass the actual tty file descriptor to
3796	  setupterm rather than the standard output, making padding work
3797	  consistently.
3798	+ explain in clear's manual page that it writes to stdout.
3799	+ add special case for verbose debugging traces of command-line
3800	  utilities which write to stderr (cf: 20161126).
3801	+ remove a trace with literal escapes from skip_DECSCNM(), added in
3802	  20161203.
3803	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
3804		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
3805
380620161224
3807	+ correct parameters for copywin call in _nc_Synchronize_Attributes()
3808	  (patch by Leon Winter).
3809	+ improve color-handling section in terminfo manual page (prompted by
3810	  patch by Mihail Konev).
3811	+ modify programs clear, tput and tset to pass the actual tty file
3812	  descriptor to setupterm rather than the standard output, making
3813	  padding work.
3814
381520161217
3816	+ add tput-colorcube demo script.
3817	+ add -r and -s options to tput-initc demo, to match usage in xterm.
3818	+ flush the standard output in _nc_flush for the case where SP is zero,
3819	  e.g., when called via putp.  This fixes a scenario where "tput flash"
3820	  did not work after changes in 20130112.
3821
382220161210
3823	+ add configure script option --disable-wattr-macros for use in cases
3824	  where one wants to use the same headers for ncurses5/ncurses6
3825	  development, by suppressing the wattr* macros which differ due to
3826	  the introduction of extended colors (prompted by comments in
3827	  Debian #230990, Redhat #1270534).
3828	+ add test/tput-initc to demonstrate tput used to initialize palette
3829	  from a data file.
3830	+ modify test/xterm*.dat to use the newer color4/color12 values.
3831
383220161203
3833	+ improve discussion of field validation in form_driver.3x manual page.
3834	+ update curs_trace.3x manual page.
3835
383620161126
3837	+ modify linux-16color to not mask dim, standout or reverse with the
3838	  ncv capability -TD
3839	+ add 0.1sec mandatory delay to flash capabilities using the VT100
3840	  reverse-video control -TD
3841	+ omit selection of ISO-8859-1 for G0 in enacs capability from linux2.6
3842	  entry, to avoid conflict with the user-defined mapping.  The reset
3843	  feature will use ISO-8859-1 in any case (Mikulas Patocka).
3844	+ improve check in tic for delays by also warning about beep/flash
3845	  when a delay is not embedded, or if those use the VT100 reverse
3846	  video escape without using a delay.
3847	+ minor fix for syntax-check of delays from 20161119 changes.
3848	+ modify trace() to avoid overwriting existing file (report by Maor
3849	  Shwartz).
3850
385120161119
3852	+ add check in tic for some syntax errors of delays, as well as use of
3853	  proportional delays for non-line capabilities.
3854	+ document history of the clear program and the E3 extension, prompted
3855	  by various discussions including
3856	  http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/87469/clearing-the-old-scrollback-buffer
3857
385820161112
3859	+ improve -W option in tic/infocmp:
3860	  + correct order of size-adjustments in wrapped lines
3861	  + if -f option splits line, do not further split it with -W
3862	  + begin a new line when adding "use=" after a wrapped line
3863
386420161105
3865	+ fix typo in man/terminfo.tail (Alain Williams).
3866	+ correct program-name in adacurses6-config.1 manual page.
3867
386820161029
3869	+ add new function "unfocus_current_field" (Leon Winter)
3870
387120161022
3872	+ modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the
3873	  screensize if it was already set in the system, to improve tabstop
3874	  setting which relies upon knowing the actual screensize.
3875	+ add functionality of tset -w to tput, like the "-c" feature this is
3876	  not optional in tput.
3877	+ add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput.
3878	+ improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow
3879	  for transformed names.
3880	+ split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with
3881	  tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.
3882
388320161015
3884	+ amend internal use of tputs to consistently use the number of lines
3885	  affected, e.g., for insert/delete character operations.  While
3886	  merging terminfo source early in 1995, several descriptions used the
3887	  "*" proportional delay for these operations, prompting a change in
3888	  doupdate.
3889	+ regenerate llib-* files.
3890	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
3891	+ fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
3892
389320161008
3894	+ adjust size in infocmp/tic to work with strlcpy.
3895	+ fix configure script to record when strlcat is found on OpenBSD.
3896	+ build-fix for "recent" OpenBSD vs baudrate.
3897
389820161001
3899	+ add -W option to tic/infocmp to force long strings to wrap.  This is
3900	  in addition to the -w option which attempts to fit capabilities into
3901	  a given line-length.
3902	+ add linux-m1 minitel entries (patch by Alexandre Montaron).
3903	+ correct rs2 string for vt100-nam -TD
3904
390520160924
3906	+ modify _nc_tic_expand to escape comma if it immediately follows a
3907	  percent sign, to work with minitel change.
3908	+ updated minitel and viewdata descriptions (Alexandre Montaron).
3909
391020160917
3911	+ build-fix for gnat6, which unhelpfully attempts to compile C files.
3912	+ fix typo in 20160910 changes (Debian #837892, patch by Sven Joachim).
3913
391420160910
3915	+ trim dead code ifdef'd with HIDE_EINTR since 970830 (discussion with
3916	  Leon Winter).
3917	+ trim some obsolete/incorrect wording about EINTR from wgetch manual
3918	  page (patch by Leon Winter).
3919	+ really correct 20100515 change (patch by Rich Coe).
3920	+ add "--enable-string-hacks" option to test/configure
3921	+ completed string-hacks for "sprintf", etc., including test-programs.
3922	+ make "--enable-string-hacks" work with Debian by checking for the
3923	  "bsd" library and its associated "<bsd/string.h>" header.
3924
392520160903
3926	+ correct 20100515 change for weak signals versus sigprocmask (report
3927	  by Rich Coe).
3928	+ modify misc/Makefile.in to work around OpenBSD "make" which unlike
3929	  all other versions of "make" does not recognize continuation lines
3930	  of comments.
3931	+ amend the last change to CF_C_ENV_FLAGS to move only the
3932	  preprocessor, optimization and warning flags to CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS,
3933	  leaving the residue in CC.  That happens to work for gcc's various
3934	  "model" options, but may require tuning for other compilers (report
3935	  by Sven Joachim).
3936
393720160827
3938	+ add "v" menu entry to test/ncurses.c to show baudrate and other
3939	  values.
3940	+ add "newer" baudrate symbols from Linux and FreeBSD to progs/tset.c,
3941	  lib_baudrate.c
3942	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro:
3943	  + add "uclinux" to case for "linux" (patch by Yann E. Morin)
3944	  + modify _GNU_SOURCE for cygwin headers, tested with cygwin 2.3, 2.5
3945	    (patch by Corinna Vinschen, from changes to tin).
3946	+ improve CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS macro to allow for compiler wrappers such
3947	  as "ccache" (report by Enrico Scholz).
3948	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
3949		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
3950
395120160820
3952	+ update tput manual page to reflect changes to manipulate terminal
3953	  modes by sharing functions with tset.
3954	+ add the terminal-mode parts of "reset" (aka tset) to the "tput reset"
3955	  command, making the two almost the same except for window-size.
3956	+ adapt logic used in dialog "--keep-tite" option for test/filter.c as
3957	  "-a" option.  When set, test/filter attempts to suppress the
3958	  alternate screen.
3959	+ correct a typo in interix entry -TD
3960
396120160813
3962	+ add a dependency upon generated-sources in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to
3963	  handle a case of "configure && make install".
3964	+ trim trailing blanks from include/Caps*, to work around a problem
3965	  in sed (Debian #818067).
3966
396720160806
3968	+ improve CF_GNU_SOURCE configure macro to optionally define
3969	  _DEFAULT_SOURCE work around a nuisance in recent glibc releases.
3970	+ move the terminfo-specific parts of tput's "reset" function into
3971	  the shared reset_cmd.c, making the two forms of reset use the same
3972	  strings.
3973	+ split-out the terminal initialization functions from tset as
3974	  progs/reset_cmd.c, as part of changes to merge the reset-feature
3975	  with tput.
3976
397720160730
3978	+ change tset's initialization to allow it to get settings from the
3979	  standard input as well as /dev/tty, to be more effective when
3980	  output or error are redirected.
3981	+ improve discussion of history and portability for tset/reset/tput
3982	  manual pages.
3983
398420160723
3985	+ improve error message from tset/reset when both stderr/stdout are
3986	  redirected to a file or pipe.
3987	+ improve organization of curs_attr.3x, curs_color.3x
3988
398920160709
3990	+ work around Debian's antique/unmaintained version of mawk when
3991	  building link_test.
3992	+ improve test/list_keys.c, showing ncurses's convention of modifiers
3993	  for special keys, based on xterm.
3994
399520160702
3996	+ improve test/list_keys.c, using $TERM if no parameters are given.
3997
399820160625
3999	+ build-fixes for ncurses "test_progs" rule.
4000	+ amend change to CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS in 20160521 to make multilib build
4001	  work (report by Sven Joachim).
4002
400320160618
4004	+ build-fixes for ncurses-examples with NetBSD curses.
4005	+ improve test/list_keys.c, fixing column-widths and sorting the list
4006	  to make it more readable.
4007
400820160611
4009	+ revise fix for Debian #805618 (report by Vlado Potisk, cf: 20151128).
4010	+ modify test/ncurses.c a/A screens to make exiting on an escape
4011	  character depend on the start of keypad and timeout modes, to allow
4012	  better testing of function-keys.
4013	+ modify rs1 for xterm-16color, xterm-88color and xterm-256color to
4014	  reset palette using "oc" string as in linux -TD
4015	+ use ANSI reply for u8 in xterm-new, to reflect vt220-style responses
4016	  that could be returned -TD
4017	+ added a few capabilities fixed in recent vte -TD
4018
401920160604
4020	+ correct logic for -f option in test/demo_terminfo.c
4021	+ add test/list_keys.c
4022
402320160528
4024	+ further workaround for PIE/PIC breakage which causes gpm to not link.
4025	+ fix most cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses library.
4026
402720160521
4028	+ improved manual page description of tset/reset versus window-size.
4029	+ fixes to work with a slightly broken compiler configuration which
4030	  cannot compile "Hello World!" without adding compiler options
4031	  (report by Ola x Nilsson):
4032	  + pass appropriate compiler options to the CF_PROG_CC_C_O macro.
4033	  + when separating compiler and options in CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS, ensure
4034	    that all options are split-off into CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS
4035	  + restore some -I options removed in 20140726 because they appeared
4036	    to be redundant.  In fact, they are needed for a compiler that
4037	    cannot combine -c and -o options.
4038
403920160514
4040	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
4041	+ improve manual pages for wgetch and wget_wch to point out that they
4042	  might return values without names in curses.h (Debian #822426).
4043	+ make linux3.0 entry the default linux entry (Debian #823658) -TD
4044	+ modify linux2.6 entry to improve line-drawing so that the linux3.0
4045	  entry can be used in non-UTF-8 mode -TD
4046	+ document return value of use_extended_names (report by Mike Gran).
4047
404820160507
4049	+ amend change to _nc_do_color to restore the early return for the
4050	  special case used in _nc_screen_wrap (report by Dick Streefland,
4051	  cf: 20151017).
4052	+ modify test/ncurses.c:
4053	  + check return-value of putwin
4054	  + correct ifdef which made the 'g' test's legend not reflect changes
4055	    to keypad- and scroll-modes.
4056	+ correct return-value of extended putwin (report by Mike Gran).
4057
405820160423
4059	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'd' edit-color menu to optionally read xterm
4060	  color palette directly from terminal, as well as handling KEY_RESIZE
4061	  and screen-repainting with control/L and control/R.
4062	+ add 'oc' capability to xterm+256color, allowing palette reset for
4063	  xterm -TD
4064
406520160416
4066	+ add workaround in configure script for inept transition to PIE vs
4067	  PIC builds documented in
4068		  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Harden_All_Packages
4069	+ add "reset" to list of programs whose names might change in manpages
4070	  due to program-transformation configure options.
4071	+ drop long-obsolete "-n" option from tset.
4072
407320160409
4074	+ modify test/blue.c to use Unicode values for card-glyphs when
4075	  available, as well as improving the check for CP437 and CP850.
4076
407720160402
4078	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
4079	+ improve manual pages for utilities with respect to POSIX versus
4080	  X/Open Curses.
4081
408220160326
4083	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
4084	+ improve test/demo_menus.c, allowing mouse-click on the menu-headers
4085	  to switch the active menu.  This requires a new extension option
4086	  O_MOUSE_MENU to tell the menu driver to put mouse events which do not
4087	  apply to the active menu back into the queue so that the application
4088	  can handle the event.
4089
409020160319
4091	+ improve description of tgoto parameters (report by Steffen Nurpmeso).
4092	+ amend workaround for Solaris line-drawing to restore a special case
4093	  that maps Unicode line-drawing characters into the acsc string for
4094	  non-Unicode locales (Debian #816888).
4095
409620160312
4097	+ modified test/filter.c to illustrate an alternative to getnstr, that
4098	  polls for input while updating a clock on the right margin as well
4099	  as responding to window size-changes.
4100
410120160305
4102	+ omit a redefinition of "inline" when traces are enabled, since this
4103	  does not work with gcc 5.3.x MinGW cross-compiling (cf: 20150912).
4104
410520160220
4106	+ modify test/configure script to check for pthread dependency of
4107	  ncursest or ncursestw library when building ncurses examples, e.g.,
4108	  in case weak symbols are used.
4109	+ modify configure macro for shared-library rules to use -Wl,-rpath
4110	  rather than -rpath to work around a bug in scons (FreeBSD #178732,
4111	  cf: 20061021).
4112	+ double-width multibyte characters were not counted properly in
4113	  winsnstr and wins_nwstr (report/example by Eric Pruitt).
4114	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
4115		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
4116
411720160213
4118	+ amend fix for _nc_ripoffline from 20091031 to make test/ditto.c work
4119	  in threaded configuration.
4120	+ move _nc_tracebits, _tracedump and _tracemouse to curses.priv.h,
4121	  since they are not part of the suggested ABI6.
4122
412320160206
4124	+ define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN for MinGW port, making builds faster.
4125	+ modify test/ditto.c to allow $XTERM_PROG environment variable to
4126	  override "xterm" as the name of the program to run in the threaded
4127	  configuration.
4128
412920160130
4130	+ improve formatting of man/curs_refresh.3x and man/tset.1 manpages
4131	+ regenerate HTML manpages using newer man2html to eliminate some
4132	  unwanted blank lines.
4133
413420160123
4135	+ ifdef'd header-file definition of mouse_trafo() with NCURSES_NOMACROS
4136	  (report by Corey Minyard).
4137	+ fix some strict compiler-warnings in traces.
4138
413920160116
4140	+ tidy up comments about hardcoded 256color palette (report by
4141	  Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
4142	+ add putty-noapp entry, and amend putty entry to use application mode
4143	  for better consistency with xterm (report by Leonardo Brondani
4144	  Schenkel) -TD
4145	+ modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to trace wide-characters
4146	  as a whole rather than their multibyte equivalents.
4147	+ minor fix in wadd_wchnstr() to ensure that each cell has nonzero
4148	  width.
4149	+ move PUTC_INIT calls next to wcrtomb calls, to avoid carry-over of
4150	  error status when processing Unicode values which are not mapped.
4151
415220160102
4153	+ modify ncurses c/C color test-screens to take advantage of wide
4154	  screens, reducing the number of lines used for 88- and 256-colors.
4155	+ minor refinement to check versus ncv to ignore two parameters of
4156	  SGR 38 and 48 when those come from color-capabilities.
4157
415820151226
4159	+ add check in tic for use of bold, etc., video attributes in the
4160	  color capabilities, accounting whether the feature is listed in ncv.
4161	+ add check in tic for conflict between ritm, rmso, rmul versus sgr0.
4162
416320151219
4164	+ add a paragraph to curs_getch.3x discussing key naming (discussion
4165	  with James Crippen).
4166	+ amend workaround for Solaris vs line-drawing to take the configure
4167	  check into account.
4168	+ add a configure check for wcwidth() versus the ncurses line-drawing
4169	  characters, to use in special-casing systems such as Solaris.
4170
417120151212
4172	+ improve CF_XOPEN_CURSES macro used in test/configure, to define as
4173	  needed NCURSES_WIDECHAR for platforms where _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
4174	  does not work.  Also modified the test program to ensure that if
4175	  building with ncurses, that the cchar_t type is checked, since that
4176	  normally is since 20111030 ifdef'd depending on this test.
4177	+ improve 20121222 workaround for broken acs, letting Solaris "work"
4178	  in spite of its misconfigured wcwidth which marks all of the line
4179	  drawing characters as double-width.
4180
418120151205
4182	+ update form_cursor.3x, form_post.3x, menu_attributes.3x to list
4183	  function names in NAME section (patch by Jason McIntyre).
4184	+ minor fixes to manpage NAME/SYNOPSIS sections to consistently use
4185	  rule that either all functions which are prototyped in SYNOPSIS are
4186	  listed in the NAME section, or the manual-page name is the sole item
4187	  listed in the NAME section.  The latter is used to reduce clutter,
4188	  e.g., for the top-level library manual pages as well as for certain
4189	  feature-pages such as SP-funcs and threading (prompted by patches by
4190	  Jason McIntyre).
4191
419220151128
4193	+ add option to preserve leading whitespace in form fields (patch by
4194	  Leon Winter).
4195	+ add missing assignment in lib_getch.c to make notimeout() work
4196	  (Debian #805618).
4197	+ add 't' toggle for notimeout() function in test/ncurses.c a/A screens
4198	+ add viewdata terminal description (Alexandre Montaron).
4199	+ fix a case in tic/infocmp for formatting capabilities where a
4200	  backslash at the end of a string was mishandled.
4201	+ fix some typos in curs_inopts.3x (Benno Schulenberg).
4202
420320151121
4204	+ fix some inconsistencies in the pccon* entries -TD
4205	+ add bold to pccon+sgr+acs and pccon-base (Tati Chevron).
4206	+ add keys f12-f124 to pccon+keys (Tati Chevron).
4207	+ add test/test_sgr.c program to exercise all combinations of sgr.
4208
420920151107
4210	+ modify tset's assignment to TERM in its output to reflect the name by
4211	  which the terminal description is found, rather than the primary
4212	  name.  That was an unnecessary part from the initial conversion of
4213	  tset from termcap to terminfo.  The termcap program in 4.3BSD did
4214	  this to avoid using the short 2-character name (report by Rich
4215	  Burridge).
4216	+ minor fix to configure script to ensure that rules for resulting.map
4217	  are only generated when needed (cf: 20151101).
4218	+ modify configure script to handle the case where tic-library is
4219	  renamed, but the --with-debug option is used by itself without
4220	  normal or shared libraries (prompted by comment in Debian #803482).
4221
422220151101
4223	+ amend change for pkg-config which allows build of pc-files when no
4224	  valid pkg-config library directory was configured to suppress the
4225	  actual install if it is not overridden to a valid directory at
4226	  install time (cf: 20150822).
4227	+ modify editing script which generates resulting.map to work with the
4228	  clang configuration on recent FreeBSD, which gives an error on an
4229	  empty "local" section.
4230	+ fix a spurious "(Part)" message in test/ncurses.c b/B tests due
4231	  to incorrect attribute-masking.
4232
423320151024
4234	+ modify MKexpanded.sh to update the expansion of a temporary filename
4235	  to "expanded.c", for use in trace statements.
4236	+ modify layout of b/B tests in test/ncurses.c to allow for additional
4237	  annotation on the right margin; some terminals with partial support
4238	  did not display well.
4239	+ fix typo in curs_attr.3x (patch by Sven Joachim).
4240	+ fix typo in INSTALL (patch by Tomas Cech).
4241	+ improve configure check for setting WILDCARD_SYMS variable; on ppc64
4242	  the variable is in the Data section rather than Text (patch by Michel
4243	  Normand, Novell #946048).
4244	+ using configure option "--without-fallbacks" incorrectly caused
4245	  FALLBACK_LIST to be set to "no" (patch by Tomas Cech).
4246	+ updated minitel entries to fix kel problem with emacs, and add
4247	  minitel1b-nb (Alexandre Montaron).
4248	+ reviewed/updated nsterm entry Terminal.app in OSX -TD
4249	+ replace some dead URLs in comments with equivalents from the
4250	  Internet Archive -TD

4252		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
4253
425420151017
4255	+ modify ncurses/Makefile.in to sort keys.list in POSIX locale
4256	  (Debian #801864, patch by Esa Peuha).
4257	+ remove an early-return from _nc_do_color, which can interfere with
4258	  data needed by bkgd when ncurses is configured with extended colors
4259	  (patch by Denis Tikhomirov).
4260	> fixes for OS/2 (patches by KO Myung-Hun)
4261	+ use button instead of kbuf[0] in EMX-specific part of lib_mouse.c
4262	+ support building with libtool on OS/2
4263	+ use stdc++ on OS/2 kLIBC
4264	+ clear cf_XOPEN_SOURCE on OS/2
4265
426620151010
4267	+ add configure check for openpty to test/configure script, for ditto.
4268	+ minor fixes to test/view.c in investigating Debian #790847.
4269	+ update autoconf patch to 2.52.20150926, incorporates a fix for Cdk.
4270	+ add workaround for breakage of POSIX makefiles by recent binutils
4271	  change.
4272	+ improve check for working poll() by using posix_openpt() as a
4273	  fallback in case there is no valid terminal on the standard input
4274	  (prompted by discussion on bug-ncurses mailing list, Debian #676461).
4275
427620150926
4277	+ change makefile rule for removing resulting.map to distclean rather
4278	  than clean.
4279	+ add /lib/terminfo to terminfo-dirs in ".deb" test-package.
4280	+ add note on portability of resizeterm and wresize to manual pages.
4281
428220150919
4283	+ clarify in resizeterm.3x how KEY_RESIZE is pushed onto the input
4284	  stream.
4285	+ clarify in curs_getch.3x that the keypad mode affects ability to
4286	  read KEY_MOUSE codes, but does not affect KEY_RESIZE.
4287	+ add overlooked build-fix needed with Cygwin for separate Ada95
4288	  configure script, cf: 20150606 (report by Nicolas Boulenguez)
4289
429020150912
4291	+ fixes for configure/build using clang on OSX (prompted by report by
4292	  William Gallafent).
4293	  + do not redefine "inline" in ncurses_cfg.h; this was originally to
4294	    solve a problem with gcc/g++, but is aggravated by clang's misuse
4295	    of symbols to pretend it is gcc.
4296	  + add braces to configure script to prevent unwanted add of
4297	    "-lstdc++" to the CXXLIBS symbol.
4298	  + improve/update test-program used for checking existence of stdc++
4299	    library.
4300	  + if $CXXLIBS is set, the linkage test uses that in addition to $LIBS
4301
430220150905
4303	+ add note in curs_addch.3x about line-drawing when it depends upon
4304	  UTF-8.
4305	+ add tic -q option for consistency with infocmp, use it to suppress
4306	  all comments from the "tic -I" output.
4307	+ modify infocmp -q option to suppress the "Reconstructed from"
4308	  header.
4309	+ add infocmp/tic -Q option, which allows one to dump the compiled
4310	  form of the terminal entry, in hexadecimal or base64.
4311
431220150822
4313	+ sort options in usage message for infocmp, to make it simpler to
4314	  see unused letters.
4315	+ update usage message for tic, adding "-0" option.
4316	+ documented differences in ESCDELAY versus AIX's implementation.
4317	+ fix some compiler warnings from ports.
4318	+ modify --with-pkg-config-libdir option to make it possible to install
4319	  ".pc" files even if pkg-config is not found (adapted from patch by
4320	  Joshua Root).
4321
432220150815
4323	+ disallow "no" as a possible value for "--with-shlib-version" option,
4324	  overlooked in cleanup-changes for 20000708 (report by Tommy Alex).
4325	+ update release notes in INSTALL.
4326	+ regenerate llib-* files to help with review for release notes.
4327
432820150810
4329	+ workaround for Debian #65617, which was fixed in mawk's upstream
4330	  releases in 2009 (report by Sven Joachim).  See
4331	  	https://invisible-island.net/mawk/CHANGES.html#t20090727

4338	+ update release announcement, summarizing more than 800 changes across
4339	  more than 200 snapshots.
4340	+ minor fixes to manpages, etc., to simplify linking from announcement
4341	  page.
4342
434320150725
4344	+ updated llib-* files.
4345	+ build-fixes for ncurses library "test_progs" rule.
4346	+ use alternate workaround for gcc 5.x feature (adapted from patch by
4347	  Mikhail Peselnik).
4348	+ add status line to tmux via xterm+sl (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
4349	+ fixes for st 0.5 from testing with tack -TD
4350	+ review/improve several manual pages to break up wall-of-text:
4351	  curs_add_wch.3x, curs_attr.3x, curs_bkgd.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x,
4352	  curs_getcchar.3x, curs_getch.3x, curs_kernel.3x, curs_mouse.3x,
4353	  curs_outopts.3x, curs_overlay.3x, curs_pad.3x, curs_termattrs.3x
4354	  curs_trace.3x, and curs_window.3x
4355
435620150719
4357	+ correct an old logic error for %A and %O in tparm (report by "zreed").
4358	+ improve documentation for signal handlers by adding section in the
4359	  curs_initscr.3x page.
4360	+ modify logic in make_keys.c to not assume anything about the size
4361	  of strnames and strfnames variables, since those may be functions
4362	  in the thread- or broken-linker configurations (problem found by
4363	  Coverity).
4364	+ modify test/configure script to check for pthreads configuration,
4365	  e.g., ncursestw library.
4366
436720150711
4368	+ modify scripts to build/use test-packages for the pthreads
4369	  configuration of ncurses6.
4370	+ add references to ttytype and termcap symbols in demo_terminfo.c and
4371	  demo_termcap.c to ensure that when building ncursest.map, etc., that
4372	  the corresponding names such as _nc_ttytype are added to the list of
4373	  versioned symbols (report by Werner Fink)
4374	+ fix regression from 20150704 (report/patch by Werner Fink).
4375
437620150704
4377	+ fix a few problems reported by Coverity.
4378	+ fix comparison against "/usr/include" in misc/gen-pkgconfig.in

4380
438120150627
4382	+ modify configure script to remove deprecated ABI 5 symbols when
4383	  building ABI 6.
4384	+ add symbols _nc_Default_Field, _nc_Default_Form, _nc_has_mouse to
4385	  map-files, but marked as deprecated so that they can easily be
4386	  suppressed from ABI 6 builds (Debian #788610).
4387	+ comment-out "screen.xterm" entry, and inherit screen.xterm-256color
4388	  from xterm-new (report by Richard Birkett) -TD
4389	+ modify read_entry.c to set the error-return to -1 if no terminal
4390	  databases were found, as documented for setupterm.
4391	+ add test_setupterm.c to demonstrate normal/error returns from the
4392	  setupterm and restartterm functions.
4393	+ amend cleanup change from 20110813 which removed redundant definition
4394	  of ret_error, etc., from tinfo_driver.c, to account for the fact that
4395	  it should return a bool rather than int (report/analysis by Johannes
4396	  Schindelin).
4397
439820150613
4399	+ fix overflow warning for OSX with lib_baudrate.c (cf: 20010630).
4400	+ modify script used to generate map/sym files to mark 5.9.20150530 as
4401	  the last "5.9" version, and regenerated the files.  That makes the
4402	  files not use ".current" for the post-5.9 symbols.  This also
4403	  corrects the label for _nc_sigprocmask used in when weak symbols are
4404	  configured for the ncursest/ncursestw libraries (prompted by
4405	  discussion with Sven Joachim).
4406	+ fix typo in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim).
4407
440820150606 pre-release
4409	+ make ABI 6 the default by updates to dist.mk and VERSION, with the
4410	  intention that the existing ABI 5 should build as before using the
4411	  "--with-abi-version=5" option.
4412	+ regenerate ada- and man-html documentation.
4413	+ minor fixes to color- and util-manpages.
4414	+ fix a regression in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, to handle special case of
4415	  Cygwin, which uses the broken-linker feature.
4416	+ amend fix for CF_NCURSES_CONFIG used in test/configure to assume that
4417	  ncurses package scripts work when present for cross-compiling, as the
4418	  lessor of two evils (cf: 20150530).
4419	+ add check in configure script to disallow conflicting options
4420	  "--with-termlib" and "--enable-term-driver".
4421	+ move defaults for "--disable-lp64" and "--with-versioned-syms" into
4422	  CF_ABI_DEFAULTS macro.
4423
442420150530
4425	+ change private type for Event_Mask in Ada95 binding to work when
4426	  mmask_t is set to 32-bits.
4427	+ remove spurious "%;" from st entry (report by Daniel Pitts) -TD
4428	+ add vte-2014, update vte to use that -TD
4429	+ modify tic and infocmp to "move" a diagnostic for tparm strings that
4430	  have a syntax error to tic's "-c" option (report by Daniel Pitts).
4431	+ fix two problems with configure script macros (Debian #786436,
4432	  cf: 20150425, cf: 20100529).
4433
443420150523
4435	+ add 'P' menu item to test/ncurses.c, to show pad in color.
4436	+ improve discussion in curs_color.3x about color rendering (prompted
4437	  by comment on Stack Overflow forum):
4438	+ remove screen-bce.mlterm, since mlterm does not do "bce" -TD
4439	+ add several screen.XXX entries to support the respective variations
4440	  for 256 colors -TD
4441	+ add putty+fnkeys* building-block entries -TD
4442	+ add smkx/rmkx to capabilities analyzed with infocmp "-i" option.
4443
444420150516
4445	+ amend change to ".pc" files to only use the extra loader flags which
4446	  may have rpath options (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20150502).
4447	+ change versioning for dpkg's in test-packages for Ada95 and
4448	  ncurses-examples for consistency with Debian, to work with package
4449	  updates.
4450	+ regenerate html manpages.
4451	+ clarify handling of carriage return in waddch manual page; it was
4452	  discussed only in the portability section (prompted by comment on
4453	  Stack Overflow forum):
4454
445520150509
4456	+ add test-packages for cross-compiling ncurses-examples using the
4457	  MinGW test-packages.  These are only the Debian packages; RPM later.
4458	+ cleanup format of debian/copyright files
4459	+ add pc-files to the MinGW cross-compiling test-packages.
4460	+ correct a couple of places in gen-pkgconfig.in to handle renaming of
4461	  the tinfo library.
4462
446320150502
4464	+ modify the configure script to allow different default values
4465	  for ABI 5 versus ABI 6.
4466	+ add wgetch-events to test-packages.
4467	+ add a note on how to build ncurses-examples to test/README.
4468	+ fix a memory leak in delscreen (report by Daniel Kahn Gillmor,
4469	  Debian #783486) -TD
4470	+ remove unnecessary ';' from E3 capabilities -TD
4471	+ add tmux entry, derived from screen (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
4472	+ split-out recent change to nsterm-bce as nsterm-build326, and add
4473	  nsterm-build342 to reflect changes with successive releases of OSX
4474	  (discussion with Leonardo B Schenkel)
4475	+ add xon, ich1, il1 to ibm3161 (patch by Stephen Powell, Debian
4476	  #783806)
4477	+ add sample "magic" file, to document ext-putwin.
4478	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to add explicit -ltinfo, etc., to the
4479	  generated ".pc" file when ld option "--as-needed" is used, or when
4480	  ncurses and tinfo are installed without using rpath (prompted by
4481	  discussion with Sylvain Bertrand).
4482	+ modify test-package for ncurses6 to omit rpath feature when installed
4483	  in /usr.
4484	+ add OSX's "*.dSYM" to clean-rules in makefiles.
4485	+ make extra-suffix work for OSX configuration, e.g., for shared
4486	  libraries.
4487	+ modify Ada95/configure script to work with pkg-config
4488	+ move test-package for ncurses6 to /usr, since filename-conflicts have
4489	  been eliminated.
4490	+ corrected build rules for Ada95/gen/generate; it does not depend on
4491	  the ncurses library aside from headers.
4492	+ reviewed man pages, fixed a few other spelling errors.
4493	+ fix a typo in curs_util.3x (Sven Joachim).
4494	+ use extra-suffix in some overlooked shared library dependencies
4495	  found by 20150425 changes for test-packages.
4496	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
4497		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
4498
449920150425
4500	+ expanded description of tgetstr's area pointer in manual page
4501	  (report by Todd M Lewis).
4502	+ in-progress changes to modify test-packages to use ncursesw6 rather
4503	  than ncursesw, with updated configure scripts.
4504	+ modify CF_NCURSES_CONFIG in Ada95- and test-configure scripts to
4505	  check for ".pc" files via pkg-config, but add a linkage check since
4506	  frequently pkg-config configurations are broken.
4507	+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to include EXTRA_LDFLAGS, e.g., for the
4508	  rpath option.
4509	+ add 'dim' capability to screen entry (report by Leonardo B Schenkel)
4510	+ add several key definitions to nsterm-bce to match preconfigured
4511	  keys, e.g., with OSX 10.9 and 10.10 (report by Leonardo B Schenkel)
4512	+ fix repeated "extra-suffix" in ncurses-config.in (cf: 20150418).
4513	+ improve term_variables manual page, adding section on the terminfo
4514	  long-name symbols which are defined in the term.h header.
4515	+ fix bug in lib_tracebits.c introduced in const-fixes (cf: 20150404).
4516
451720150418
4518	+ avoid a blank line in output from tabs program by ending it with
4519	  a carriage return as done in FreeBSD (patch by James Clarke).
4520	+ build-fix for the "--enable-ext-putwin" feature when not using
4521	  wide characters (report by Werner Fink).
4522	+ modify autoconf macros to use scripting improvement from xterm.
4523	+ add -brtl option to compiler options on AIX 5-7, needed to link
4524	  with the shared libraries.
4525	+ add --with-extra-suffix option to help with installing nonconflicting
4526	  ncurses6 packages, e.g., avoiding header- and library-conflicts.
4527	  NOTE: as a side-effect, this renames
4528		  adacurses-config to adacurses5-config and
4529		  adacursesw-config to adacursesw5-config
4530	+ modify debian/rules test package to suffix programs with "6".
4531	+ clarify in curs_inopts.3x that window-specific settings do not
4532	  inherit into new windows.
4533
453420150404
4535	+ improve description of start_color() in the manual.
4536	+ modify several files in ncurses- and progs-directories to allow
4537	  const data used in internal tables to be put by the linker into the
4538	  readonly text segment.
4539
454020150329
4541	+ correct cut/paste error for "--enable-ext-putwin" that made it the
4542	  same as "--enable-ext-colors" (report by Roumen Petrov)
4543
454420150328
4545	+ add "-f" option to test/savescreen.c to help with testing/debugging
4546	  the extended putwin/getwin.
4547	+ add logic for writing/reading combining characters in the extended
4548	  putwin/getwin.
4549	+ add "--enable-ext-putwin" configure option to turn on the extended
4550	  putwin/getwin.
4551
455220150321
4553	+ in-progress changes to provide an extended version of putwin and
4554	  getwin which will be capable of reading screen-dumps between the
4555	  wide/normal ncurses configurations.  These are text files, except
4556	  for a magic code at the beginning:
4557	  0       string          \210\210        Screen-dump (ncurses)
4558
455920150307
4560	+ document limitations of getwin in manual page (prompted by discussion
4561	  with John S Urban).

4563	  and graphic characters can be restored using getwin.
4564
456520150228

4567	  usable in an application which may/may not need the console window
4568	  (report by Grady Martin).
4569
457020150221
4571	+ capture define's related to -D_XOPEN_SOURCE from the configure check
4572	  and add those to the *-config and *.pc files, to simplify use for
4573	  the wide-character libraries.
4574	+ modify ncurses.spec to accommodate Fedora21's location of pkg-config
4575	  directory.
4576	+ correct sense of "--disable-lib-suffixes" configure option (report
4577	  by Nicolas Boos, cf: 20140426).
4578
457920150214
4580	+ regenerate html manpages using improved man2html from work on xterm.
4581	+ regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, accounting
4582	  for the "--enable-weak-symbols" configure option (report by Werner
4583	  Fink).
4584
458520150131
4586	+ regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, showing
4587	  the combinations of configure options used at each stage.
4588
458920150124
4590	+ add configure check to determine if "local: _*;" can be used in the
4591	  ".map" files to selectively omit symbols beginning with "_".  On at
4592	  least recent FreeBSD, the wildcard applies to all "_" symbols.
4593	+ remove obsolete/conflicting rule for ncurses.map from
4594	  ncurses/Makefile.in (cf:  20130706).
4595
459620150117
4597	+ improve description in INSTALL of the --with-versioned-syms option.
4598	+ add combination of --with-hashed-db and --with-ticlib to
4599	  configurations for ".map" files (report by Werner Fink).
4600
460120150110
4602	+ add a step to generating ".map" files, to declare any remaining
4603	  symbols beginning with "_" as local, at the last version node.
4604	+ improve configure checks for pkg-config, addressing a variant found
4605	  with FreeBSD ports.
4606	+ modify win_driver.c to provide characters for special keys, like
4607	  ansi.sys, when keypad mode is off, rather than returning nothing at
4608	  all (discussion with Eli Zaretskii).
4609	+ add "broken_linker" and "hashed-db" configure options to combinations
4610	  use for generating the ".map" and ".sym" files.
4611	+ avoid using "ld" directly when creating shared library, to simplify
4612	  cross-compiles.  Also drop "-Bsharable" option from shared-library
4613	  rules for FreeBSD and DragonFly (FreeBSD #196592).
4614	+ fix a memory leak in form library Free_RegularExpression_Type()
4615	  (report by Pavel Balaev).
4616
461720150103
4618	+ modify_nc_flush() to retry if interrupted (patch by Stian Skjelstad).
4619	+ change map files to make _nc_freeall a global, since it may be used
4620	  via the Ada95 binding when checking for memory leaks.
4621	+ improve sed script used in 20141220 to account for wide-, threaded-
4622	  variations in ABI 6.
4623
462420141227
4625	+ regenerate ".map" files, using step overlooked in 20141213 to use
4626	  the same patch-dates across each file to match ncurses.map (report by
4627	  Sven Joachim).
4628
462920141221
4630	+ fix an incorrect variable assignment in 20141220 changes (report by
4631	  Sven Joachim).
4632
463320141220
4634	+ updated Ada95/configure with macro changes from 20141213
4635	+ tie configure options --with-abi-version and --with-versioned-syms
4636	  together, so that ABI 6 libraries have distinct symbol versions from
4637	  the ABI 5 libraries.
4638	+ replace obsolete/nonworking link to man2html with current one,
4639	  regenerate html-manpages.
4640
464120141213
4642	+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to add -I option for include-directory
4643	  when using both --prefix and --disable-overwrite (report by Misty
4644	  De Meo).
4645	+ add configure option --with-pc-suffix to allow minor renaming of
4646	  ".pc" files and the corresponding library.  Use this in the test
4647	  package for ncurses6.
4648	+ modify configure script so that if pkg-config is not installed, it
4649	  is still possible to install ".pc" files (report by Misty De Meo).
4650	+ updated ".sym" files, removing symbols which are marked as "local"
4651	  in the corresponding ".map" files.
4652	+ updated ".map" files to reflect move of comp_captab and comp_hash
4653	  from tic-library to tinfo-library in 20090711 (report by Sven
4654	  Joachim).
4655
465620141206
4657	+ updated ".map" files so that each symbol that may be shared across
4658	  the different library configurations has the same label.  Some
4659	  review is needed to ensure these are really compatible.
4660	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to work around change in development version of
4661	  gcc introduced here:
4662		  https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-06/msg02185.html
4663		  https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-07/msg00236.html
4664	  (reports by Marcus Shawcroft, Maohui Lei).
4665	+ improved configure macro CF_SUBDIR_PATH, from lynx changes.
4666
466720141129
4668	+ improved ".map" files by generating them with a script that builds
4669	  ncurses with several related configurations and merges the results.
4670	  A further refinement is planned, to make the tic- and tinfo-library
4671	  symbols use the same versions across each of the four configurations
4672	  which are represented (reports by Sven Joachim, Werner Fink).
4673
467420141115
4675	+ improve description of limits for color values and color pairs in
4676	  curs_color.3x (prompted by patch by Tim van der Molen).
4677	+ add VERSION file, using first field in that to record the ABI version
4678	  used for configure --with-libtool --disable-libtool-version
4679	+ add configure options for applying the ".map" and ".sym" files to
4680	  the ncurses, form, menu and panel libraries.
4681	+ add ".map" and ".sym" files to show exported symbols, e.g., for
4682	  symbol-versioning.
4683
468420141101
4685	+ improve strict compiler-warnings by adding a cast in TRACE_RETURN
4686	  and making a new TRACE_RETURN1 macro for cases where the cast does
4687	  not apply.
4688
468920141025
4690	+ in-progress changes to integrate the win32 console driver with the
4691	  msys2 configuration.
4692
469320141018
4694	+ reviewed terminology 0.6.1, add function key definitions.  None of
4695	  the vt100-compatibility issues were improved -TD
4696	+ improve infocmp conversion of extended capabilities to termcap by
4697	  correcting the limit check against parametrized[], as well as filling
4698	  in a check if the string happens to have parameters, e.g., "xm"
4699	  in recent changes.
4700	+ add check for zero/negative dimensions for resizeterm and resize_term
4701	  (report by Mike Gran).
4702
470320141011
4704	+ add experimental support for xterm's 1005 mouse mode, to use in a
4705	  demonstration of its limitations.
4706	+ add experimental support for "%u" format to terminfo.
4707	+ modify test/ncurses.c to also show position reports in 'a' test.
4708	+ minor formatting fixes to _nc_trace_mmask_t, make this function
4709	  exported to help with debugging mouse changes.
4710	+ improve behavior of wheel-mice for xterm protocol, noting that there
4711	  are only button-presses for buttons "4" and "5", so there is no need
4712	  to wait to combine events into double-clicks (report/analysis by
4713	  Greg Field).
4714	+ provide examples xterm-1005 and xterm-1006 terminfo entries -TD
4715	+ implement decoder for xterm SGR 1006 mouse mode.
4716
471720140927
4718	+ implement curs_set in win_driver.c
4719	+ implement flash in win_driver.c
4720	+ fix an infinite loop in win_driver.c if the command-window loses
4721	  focus.
4722	+ improve the non-buffered mode, i.e., NCURSES_CONSOLE2, of
4723	  win_driver.c by temporarily changing the buffer-size to match the
4724	  window-size to eliminate the scrollback.  Also enforce a minimum
4725	  screen-size of 24x80 in the non-buffered mode.
4726	+ modify generated misc/Makefile to suppress install.data from the
4727	  dependencies if the --disable-db-install option is used, compensating
4728	  for the top-level makefile changes used to add ncurses*-config in the
4729	  20140920 changes (report by Steven Honeyman).
4730
473120140920
4732	+ add ncurses*-config to bin-directory of sample package-scripts.
4733	+ add check to ensure that getopt is available; this is a problem in
4734	  some older cross-compiler environments.
4735	+ expanded on the description of --disable-overwrite in INSTALL
4736	  (prompted by reports by Joakim Tjernlund, Thomas Klausner).
4737	  See Gentoo #522586 and NetBSD #49200 for examples.
4738	  which relates to the clarified guidelines.
4739	+ remove special logic from CF_INCLUDE_DIRS which adds the directory
4740	  for the --includedir from the build (report by Joakim Tjernlund).
4741	+ add case for Unixware to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, from lynx changes.
4742	+ update config.sub from
4743		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
4744
474520140913

4747	  C++ cross-compilers.
4748	+ build-fixes for Ada95 with gnat 4.9
4749
475020140906
4751	+ build-fix and other improvements for port of ncurses-examples to
4752	  NetBSD.
4753	+ minor compiler-warning fixes.
4754
475520140831
4756	+ modify test/demo_termcap.c and test/demo_terminfo.c to make their
4757	  options more directly comparable, and add "-i" option to specify
4758	  a terminal description filename to parse for names to lookup.
4759
476020140823
4761	+ fix special case where double-width character overwrites a single-
4762	  width character in the first column (report by Egmont Koblinger,
4763	  cf: 20050813).
4764
476520140816
4766	+ fix colors in ncurses 'b' test which did not work after changing
4767	  it to put the test-strings in subwindows (cf: 20140705).
4768	+ merge redundant SEE-ALSO sections in form and menu manpages.
4769
477020140809
4771	+ modify declarations for user-data pointers in C++ binding to use
4772	  reinterpret_cast to facilitate converting typed pointers to void*
4773	  in user's application (patch by Adam Jiang).
4774	+ regenerated html manpages.
4775	+ add note regarding cause and effect for TERM in ncurses manpage,
4776	  having noted clueless verbiage in Terminal.app's "help" file
4777	  which reverses cause/effect.
4778	+ remove special fallback definition for NCURSES_ATTR_T, since macros
4779	  have resolved type-mismatches using casts (cf: 970412).
4780	+ fixes for win_driver.c:
4781	  + handle repainting on endwin/refresh combination.
4782	  + implement beep().
4783	  + minor cleanup.
4784
478520140802
4786	+ minor portability fixes for MinGW:
4787	  + ensure WINVER is defined in makefiles rather than using headers
4788	  + add check for gnatprep "-T" option
4789	  + work around bug introduced by gcc 4.8.1 in MinGW which breaks
4790	    "trace" feature:
4791	    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20877689/gcc-4-8-1-minggw-d-option-does-not-work-as-usual
4792	+ fix most compiler warnings for Cygwin ncurses-examples.
4793	+ restore "redundant" -I options in test/Makefile.in, since they are
4794	  typically needed when building the derived ncurses-examples package
4795	  (cf: 20140726).
4796
479720140726
4798	+ eliminate some redundant -I options used for building libraries, and
4799	  ensure that ${srcdir} is added to the include-options (prompted by
4800	  discussion with Paul Gilmartin).
4801	+ modify configure script to work with Minix3.2
4802	+ add form library extension O_DYNAMIC_JUSTIFY option which can be
4803	  used to override the different treatment of justification for static
4804	  versus dynamic fields (adapted from patch by Leon Winter).
4805	+ add a null pointer check in test/edit_field.c (report/analysis by
4806	  Leon Winter, cf: 20130608).
4807
480820140719
4809	+ make workarounds for compiling test-programs with NetBSD curses.
4810	+ improve configure macro CF_ADD_LIBS, to eliminate repeated -l/-L
4811	  options, from xterm changes.
4812
481320140712
4814	+ correct Charable() macro check for A_ALTCHARSET in wide-characters.
4815	+ build-fix for position-debug code in tty_update.c, to work with or
4816	  without sp-funcs.
4817
481820140705
4819	+ add w/W toggle to ncurses.c 'B' test, to demonstrate permutation of
4820	  video-attributes and colors with double-width character strings.
4821
482220140629
4823	+ correct check in win_driver.c for saving screen contents, e.g., when
4824	  NCURSES_CONSOLE2 is set (cf: 20140503).
4825	+ reorganize b/B menu items in ncurses.c, putting the test-strings into
4826	  subwindows.  This is needed for a planned change to use Unicode
4827	  fullwidth characters in the test-screens.
4828	+ correct update to form status for _NEWTOP, broken by fixes for
4829	  compiler warnings (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20120616).
4830
483120140621
4832	+ change shared-library suffix for AIX 5 and 6 to ".so", avoiding
4833	  conflict with the static library (report by Ben Lentz).
4834	+ document RPATH_LIST in INSTALL file, as part of workarounds for
4835	  upgrading an ncurses library using the "--with-shared" option.
4836	+ modify test/ncurses.c c/C tests to cycle through subsets of the
4837	  total number of colors, to better illustrate 8/16/88/256-colors by
4838	  providing directly comparable screens.
4839	+ add test/dots_curses.c, for comparison with the low-level examples.
4840
484120140614
4842	+ fix dereference before null check found by Coverity in tic.c
4843	  (cf: 20140524).
4844	+ fix sign-extension bug in read_entry.c which prevented "toe" from
4845	  reading empty "screen+italics" entry.
4846	+ modify sgr for screen.xterm-new to support dim capability -TD
4847	+ add dim capability to nsterm+7 -TD
4848	+ cancel dim capability for iterm -TD
4849	+ add dim, invis capabilities to vte-2012 -TD
4850	+ add sitm/ritm to konsole-base and mlterm3 -TD
4851
485220140609
4853	> fix regression in screen terminfo entries (reports by Christian
4854	  Ebert, Gabriele Balducci) -TD
4855	+ revert the change to screen; see notes for why this did not work -TD
4856	+ cancel sitm/ritm for entries which extend "screen", to work around
4857	  screen's hardcoded behavior for SGR 3 -TD
4858
485920140607
4860	+ separate masking for sgr in vidputs from sitm/ritm, which do not
4861	  overlap with sgr functionality.
4862	+ remove unneeded -i option from adacurses-config; put -a in the -I
4863	  option for consistency (patch by Pascal Pignard).
4864	+ update xterm-new terminfo entry to xterm patch #305 -TD
4865	+ change format of test-scripts for Debian Ada95 and ncurses-examples
4866	  packages to quilted to work around Debian #700177 (cf: 20130907).
4867	+ build fix for form_driver_w.c as part of ncurses-examples package for
4868	  older ncurses than 20131207.
4869	+ add Hello World example to adacurses-config manpage.
4870	+ remove unused --enable-pc-files option from Ada95/configure.
4871	+ add --disable-gnat-projects option for testing.
4872	+ revert changes to Ada95 project-files configuration (cf: 20140524).
4873	+ corrected usage message in adacurses-config.
4874
487520140524
4876	+ fix typo in ncurses manpage for the NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE
4877	  environment variable.
4878	+ improve discussion of input-echoing in curs_getch.3x
4879	+ clarify discussion in curs_addch.3x of wrapping.
4880	+ modify parametrized.h to make fln non-padded.
4881	+ correct several entries which had termcap-style padding used in
4882	  terminfo: adm21, aj510, alto-h19, att605-pc, x820 -TD
4883	+ correct syntax for padding in some entries: dg211, h19 -TD
4884	+ correct ti924-8 which had confused padding versus octal escapes -TD
4885	+ correct padding in sbi entry -TD
4886	+ fix an old bug in the termcap emulation; "%i" was ignored in tparm()
4887	  because the parameters to be incremented were already on the internal
4888	  stack (report by Corinna Vinschen).
4889	+ modify tic's "-c" option to take into account the "-C" option to
4890	  activate additional checks which compare the results from running
4891	  tparm() on the terminfo expressions versus the translated termcap
4892	  expressions.
4893	+ modify tic to allow it to read from FIFOs (report by Matthieu Fronton,
4894	  cf: 20120324).
4895	> patches by Nicolas Boulenguez:
4896	+ explicit dereferences to suppress some style warnings.
4897	+ when c_varargs_to_ada.c includes its header, use double quotes
4898	  instead of <>.
4899	+ samples/ncurses2-util.adb:  removed unused with clause.  The warning
4900	  was removed by an obsolete pragma.
4901	+ replaced Unreferenced pragmas with Warnings (Off).  The latter,
4902	  available with older GNATs, needs no configure test.  This also
4903	  replaces 3 untested Unreferenced pragmas.
4904	+ simplified To_C usage in trace handling.  Using two parameters allows
4905	  some basic formatting, and avoids a warning about security with some
4906	  compiler flags.
4907	+ for generated Ada sources, replace many snippets with one pure
4908	  package.
4909	+ removed C_Chtype and its conversions.
4910	+ removed C_AttrType and its conversions.
4911	+ removed conversions between int, Item_Option_Set, Menu_Option_Set.
4912	+ removed int, Field_Option_Set, Item_Option_Set conversions.
4913	+ removed C_TraceType, Attribute_Option_Set conversions.
4914	+ replaced C.int with direct use of Eti_Error, now enumerated.  As it
4915	  was used in a case statement, values were tested by the Ada compiler
4916	  to be consecutive anyway.
4917	+ src/Makefile.in: remove duplicate stanza
4918	+ only consider using a project for shared libraries.
4919	+ style. Silent gnat-4.9 warning about misplaced "then".
4920	+ generate shared library project to honor ADAFLAGS, LDFLAGS.
4921
492220140510
4923	+ cleanup recently introduced compiler warnings for MingW port.
4924	+ workaround for ${MAKEFLAGS} configure check versus GNU make 4.0,
4925	  which introduces more than one gratuitous incompatibility.
4926
492720140503
4928	+ add vt520ansi terminfo entry (patch by Mike Gran)
4929	+ further improve MinGW support for the scenario where there is an
4930	  ANSI-escapes handler such as ansicon running in the console window
4931	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
4932
493320140426
4934	+ add --disable-lib-suffixes option (adapted from patch by Juergen
4935	  Pfeifer).
4936	+ merge some changes from Juergen Pfeifer's work with MSYS2, to
4937	  simplify later merging:
4938	  + use NC_ISATTY() macro for isatty() in library
4939	  + add _nc_mingw_isatty() and related functions to windows-driver
4940	  + rename terminal driver entrypoints to simplify grep's
4941	+ remove a check in the sp-funcs flavor of newterm() which allowed only
4942	  the first call to newterm() to succeed (report by Thomas Beierlein,
4943	  cf: 20090927).
4944
494520140419
4946	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
4947		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
4948
494920140412
4950	+ modify configure script:
4951	  + drop the -no-gcc option from Intel compiler, from lynx changes.
4952	  + extend the --with-hashed-db configure option to simplify building
4953	    with different versions of Berkeley database using FreeBSD ports.
4954	+ improve initialization for MinGW port (Juergen Pfeifer):
4955	  + enforce Windows-style path-separator if cross-compiling,
4956	  + add a driver-name method to each of the drivers,
4957	  + allow the Windows driver name to match "unknown", ignoring case,
4958	  + lengthen the built-in name for the Windows console driver to
4959	    "#win32console", and
4960	  + move the comparison of driver-names allowing abbreviation, e.g.,
4961	    to "#win32con" into the Windows console driver.
4962
496320140329
4964	+ add check in tic for mismatch between ccc and initp/initc
4965	+ cancel ccc in putty-256color and konsole-256color for consistency
4966	  with the cancelled initc capability (patch by Sven Zuhlsdorf).
4967	+ add xterm+256setaf building block for various terminals which only
4968	  get the 256-color feature half-implemented -TD
4969	+ updated "st" entry (leaving the 0.1.1 version as "simpleterm") to
4970	  0.4.1 -TD
4971
497220140323
4973	+ fix typo in "mlterm" entry (report by Gabriele Balducci) -TD
4974
497520140322
4976	+ use types from <stdint.h> in sample build-scripts for chtype, etc.
4977	+ modify configure script and curses.h.in to allow the types specified
4978	  using --with-chtype and related options to be defined in <stdint.h>
4979	+ add terminology entry -TD
4980	+ add mlterm3 entry, use that as "mlterm" -TD
4981	+ inherit mlterm-256color from mlterm -TD
4982
498320140315
4984	+ modify _nc_New_TopRow_and_CurrentItem() to ensure that the menu's
4985	  top-row is adjusted as needed to ensure that the current item is
4986	  on the screen (patch by Johann Klammer).
4987	+ add wgetdelay() to retrieve _delay member of WINDOW if it happens to
4988	  be opaque, e.g., in the pthread configuration (prompted by patch by
4989	  Soren Brinkmann).
4990
499120140308
4992	+ modify ifdef in read_entry.c to handle the case where
4993	  NCURSES_USE_DATABASE is not defined (patch by Xin Li).
4994	+ add cast in form_driver_w() to fix ARM build (patch by Xin Li).
4995	+ add logic to win_driver.c to save/restore screen contents when not
4996	  allocating a console-buffer (cf: 20140215).
4997
499820140301
4999	+ clarify error-returns from newwin (report by Ruslan Nabioullin).
5000
500120140222
5002	+ fix some compiler warnings in win_driver.c
5003	+ updated notes for wsvt25 based on tack and vttest -TD
5004	+ add teken entry to show actual properties of FreeBSD's "xterm"
5005	  console -TD
5006
500720140215
5008	+ in-progress changes to win_driver.c to implement output without
5009	  allocating a console-buffer.  This uses a pre-existing environment
5010	  variable NCGDB used by Juergen Pfeifer for debugging (prompted by
5011	  discussion with Erwin Waterlander regarding Console2, which hangs
5012	  when reading in an allocated console-buffer).
5013	+ add -t option to gdc.c, and modify to accept "S" to step through the
5014	  scrolling-stages.
5015	+ regenerate NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the broken
5016	  html emitted by docbook.
5017
501820140209
5019	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to omit followup check to determine if
5020	  _XOPEN_SOURCE can/should be defined.  g++ 4.7.2 built on Solaris 10
5021	  has some header breakage due to its own predefinition of this symbol
5022	  (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15796).
5023
502420140201

5027	+ fix build for s390x, by correcting field bit offsets in generated
5028	  representation clauses when int=32 long=64 and endian=big, or at
5029	  least on s390x (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
5030	+ minor cleanup change to test/form_driver_w.c (patch by Gaute Hope).
5031
503220140125
5033	+ remove unnecessary ifdef's in Ada95/gen/gen.c, which reportedly do
5034	  not work as is with gcc 4.8 due to fixes using chtype cast made for
5035	  new compiler warnings by gcc 4.8 in 20130824 (Debian #735753, patch
5036	  by Nicolas Boulenguez).
5037
503820140118
5039	+ apply includesubdir variable which was introduced in 20130805 to
5040	  gen-pkgconfig.in (Debian #735782).

5048	+ modify configure-script/ifdef's to allow OLD_TTY feature to be
5049	  suppressed if the type of ospeed is configured using the option
5050	  --with-ospeed to not be a short.  By default, it is a short for
5051	  termcap-compatibility (adapted from suggestion by Christian
5052	  Weisgerber).
5053	+ correct a typo in _nc_baudrate() (patch by Christian Weisgerber,
5054	  cf: 20061230).

5068	+ add special case to configure script to move _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
5069	  definition from CPPFLAGS to CFLAGS if it happens to be needed for
5070	  Solaris, because g++ errors with that definition (report by
5071	  Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15268).
5072	+ correct logic in infocmp's -i option which was intended to ignore
5073	  strings which correspond to function-keys as candidates for piecing
5074	  together initialization- or reset-strings.  The problem dates to
5075	  1.9.7a, but was overlooked until changes in -Wlogical-op warnings for
5076	  gcc 4.8 (report by David Binderman).
5077	+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, moving
5078	  checks for -Wextra and -Wdeclaration-after-statement into the macro,
5079	  and adding checks for -Wignored-qualifiers, -Wlogical-op and
5080	  -Wvarargs

5096
509720131027
5098	+ correct/simplify ifdef's for cur_term versus broken-linker and

515520130831
5156	+ modify test/ncurses.c b/B tests to display lines only for the
5157	  attributes which a given terminal supports, to make room for an
5158	  italics test.
5159	+ completed ncv table in terminfo.tail; it did not list the wide
5160	  character codes listed in X/Open Curses issue 7.

5171	+ add checks in tic to warn about terminals which lack cursor
5172	  addressing, capabilities or having those, are marked as hard_copy or
5173	  generic_type.
5174	+ use --without-progs in mingw-ncurses rpm.
5175	+ split out _nc_init_termtype() from alloc_entry.c to use in MinGW
5176	  port when tic and other programs are not needed.
5177
517820130805
5179	+ minor fixes to the --disable-overwrite logic, to ensure that the
5180	  configured $(includedir) is not cancelled by the mingwxx-filesystem
5181	  rpm macros.
5182	+ add --disable-db-install configure option, to simplify building
5183	  cross-compile support packages.

520020130720
5201	+ further improvements for setupterm manpage, clarifying the

5216
521720130622
5218	+ modify the clear program to take into account the E3 extended
5219	  capability to clear the terminal's scrollback buffer (patch by

5256	  --enable-reentrant options are combined (report by George R Goffe).
5257
525820130525
5259	+ modify mvcur() to distinguish between internal use by the ncurses
5260	  library, and external callers, preventing it from reading the content
5261	  of the screen which is only nonblank when curses calls have updated
5262	  it.  This makes test/dots_mvcur.c avoid painting colored cells in
5263	  the left margin of the display.
5264	+ minor fix to test/dots_mvcur.c
5265	+ move configured symbols USE_DATABASE and USE_TERMCAP to term.h as

5267	  use of these symbols in term_entry.h
5268
526920130518
5270	+ corrected ifdefs in test/testcurs.c to allow comparison of mouse

5279	  plausible "ansi consoles" -TD
5280	+ additional cleanup of table-of-contents by reordering -TD
5281	+ revise fix for check for 8-bit value in _nc_insert_ch(); prior fix
5282	  prevented inserts when video attributes were attached to the data
5283	  (cf: 20121215) (Redhat #959534).
5284
528520130504
5286	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
5287	  + correct FNKEY() macro in progs/dump_entry.c, allowing kf11-kf63 to
5288	    display when infocmp's -R option is used for HP or AIX subsets.
5289	  + fix dead-code issue with test/movewindow.c
5290	  + improve limited-checking in _nc_read_termtype().
5291
529220130427
5293	+ fix clang 3.2 warning in progs/dump_entry.c
5294	+ drop AC_TYPE_SIGNAL check; ncurses relies on c89 and later.

5297	+ add MinGW to cases where ncurses installs by default into /usr
5298	  (prompted by discussion with Daniel Silva Ferreira).
5299	+ add -D option to infocmp's usage-message (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).

5302	  Gribenko).
5303	+ improve configure check for static_cast, to work with clang 3.2
5304	  (report by Dmitri Gribenko).
5305	+ re-order rule for demo.o and macros defining header dependencies in
5306	  c++/Makefile.in to accommodate gmake (report by Dmitri Gribenko).
5307
530820130406
5309	+ improve parameter checking in copywin().
5310	+ modify configure script to work around OS X's "libtool" program, to
5311	  choose glibtool instead.  At the same time, chance the autoconf macro
5312	  to look for a "tool" rather than a "prog", to help with potential use
5313	  in cross-compiling.
5314	+ separate the rpath usage for c++ library from demo program
5315	  (Redhat #911540)
5316	+ update/correct header-dependencies in c++ makefile (report by Werner
5317	  Fink).

5346
534720130309

5353	  + CF_ACVERSION_CHECK, from byacc 1.9 20130304
5354	  + CF_INTEL_COMPILER, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE from luit 2.0-20130217
5355	+ add configure option --with-cxx-shared to permit building
5356	  libncurses++ as a shared library when using g++, e.g., the same
5357	  limitations as libtool but better integrated with the usual build
5358	  configuration (Redhat #911540).
5359	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to filter out build-path which was unnecessarily
5360	  shown in curses.h (Debian #689131).
5361
536220130302
5363	+ add section to terminfo manpage discussing user-defined capabilities.
5364	+ update manpage description of NCURSES_NO_SETBUF, explaining why it
5365	  is obsolete.
5366	+ add a check in waddch_nosync() to ensure that tab characters are
5367	  treated as control characters; some broken locales claim they are
5368	  printable.

5380	+ modify test/knight.c to work with mouse for pdcurses as it does for
5381	  ncurses.
5382	+ modify internal recursion in wgetch() which handles cooked mode to
5383	  check if the call to wgetnstr() returned an error.  This can happen
5384	  when both nocbreak() and nodelay() are set, for instance (report by
5385	  Nils Christopher Brause) (cf: 960418).
5386	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
5387	  + add a check for valid position in ClearToEOS()
5388	  + fix in lib_twait.c when --enable-wgetch-events is used, pointer
5389	    use after free.

5395	  of curses-related libraries, to help with linking with pdcurses in
5396	  MinGW environment.
5397	+ if the --with-terminfo-dirs configure option is not used, there is
5398	  no corresponding compiled-in value for that.  Fill in "no default
5399	  value" for that part of the manpage substitution.
5400
540120130202
5402	+ correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make
5403	  an incorrect move (cf: 20001028).
5404	+ improve documentation of the terminfo/termcap search path.
5405
540620130126
5407	+ further fixes to mvcur to pass callback function (cf: 20130112),

5410	  help reduce flicker.
5411	+ modify configure script to omit "+b" from linker options for very
5412	  old HP-UX systems (report by Dennis Grevenstein)
5413	+ add HP-UX workaround for missing EILSEQ on old HP-UX systems (patch
5414	  by Dennis Grevenstein).
5415	+ restore memmove/strdup support for antique systems (request by
5416	  Dennis Grevenstein).
5417	+ change %l behavior in tparm to push the string length onto the stack
5418	  rather than saving the formatted length into the output buffer
5419	  (report by Roy Marples, cf: 980620).
5420

5429	+ add "-y" option to test/demo_termcap and test/demo_terminfo to
5430	  demonstrate behavior with/without extended capabilities.
5431	+ updated termcap manpage to document legacy termcap behavior for
5432	  matching capability names.
5433	+ modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate legacy
5434	  applications as well as to improve compatibility with BSD 4.2
5435	  termcap implementations (Debian #698299) (cf: 980725).
5436
543720130112
5438	+ correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts.
5439	+ drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they
5440	  are unused in the current driver model.
5441	+ modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses
5442	  library.
5443	+ modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage.
5444	+ amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level
5445	  putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering.
5446	  The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674).
5447
544820130105
5449	+ add "-s" option to test/view.c to allow it to start in single-step
5450	  mode, reducing size of trace files when it is used for debugging
5451	  MinGW changes.
5452	+ revert part of 20121222 change to tinfo_driver.c
5453	+ add experimental logic in win_driver.c to improve optimization of
5454	  screen updates.  This does not yet work with double-width characters,
5455	  so it is ifdef'd out for the moment (prompted by report by Erwin
5456	  Waterlander regarding screen flicker).
5457
545820121229
5459	+ fix Coverity warnings regarding copying into fixed-size buffers.
5460	+ add throw-declarations in the c++ binding per Coverity warning.

546420121222
5465	+ add *.dSYM directories to clean-rule in ncurses directory makefile,
5466	  for Mac OS builds.
5467	+ add a configure check for gcc option -no-cpp-precomp, which is not
5468	  available in all Mac OS X configurations (report by Andras Salamon,
5469	  cf: 20011208).
5470	+ improve 20021221 workaround for broken acs, handling a case where
5471	  that ACS_xxx character is not in the acsc string but there is a known
5472	  wide-character which can be used.
5473
547420121215
5475	+ fix several warnings from clang 3.1 --analyze, includes correcting
5476	  a null-pointer check in _nc_mvcur_resume.
5477	+ correct display of double-width characters with MinGW port (report
5478	  by Erwin Waterlander).
5479	+ replace MinGW's wcrtomb(), fixing a problem with _nc_viscbuf
5480	> fixes based on Coverity report:
5481	+ correct coloring in test/bs.c
5482	+ correct check for 8-bit value in _nc_insert_ch().
5483	+ remove dead code in progs/tset.c, test/linedata.h
5484	+ add null-pointer checks in lib_tracemse.c, panel.priv.h, and some
5485	  test-programs.
5486
548720121208
5488	+ modify test/knight.c to show the number of choices possible for
5489	  each position in automove option, e.g., to allow user to follow
5490	  Warnsdorff's rule to solve the puzzle.
5491	+ modify test/hanoi.c to show the minimum number of moves possible for
5492	  the given number of tiles (prompted by patch by Lucas Gioia).
5493	> fixes based on Coverity report:
5494	+ remove a few redundant checks.
5495	+ correct logic in test/bs.c, when randomly placing a specific type of
5496	  ship.
5497	+ check return value from remove/unlink in tic.
5498	+ check return value from sscanf in test/ncurses.c
5499	+ fix a null dereference in c++/cursesw.cc
5500	+ fix two instances of uninitialized variables when configuring for the
5501	  terminal driver.
5502	+ correct scope of variable used in SetSafeOutcWrapper macro.
5503	+ set umask when calling mkstemp in tic.
5504	+ initialize wbkgrndset() temporary variable when extended-colors are
5505	  used.
5506
550720121201
5508	+ also replace MinGW's wctomb(), fixing a problem with setcchar().
5509	+ modify test/view.c to load UTF-8 when built with MinGW by using
5510	  regular win32 API because the MinGW functions mblen() and mbtowc()
5511	  do not work.
5512
551320121124
5514	+ correct order of color initialization versus display in some of the
5515	  test-programs, e.g., test_addstr.c
5516	> fixes based on Coverity report:
5517	+ delete windows on exit from some of the test-programs.
5518
551920121117
5520	> fixes based on Coverity report:
5521	+ add missing braces around FreeAndNull in two places.
5522	+ various fixes in test/ncurses.c
5523	+ improve limit-checks in tinfo/make_hash.c, tinfo/read_entry.c
5524	+ correct malloc size in progs/infocmp.c
5525	+ guard against negative array indices in test/knight.c
5526	+ fix off-by-one limit check in test/color_name.h
5527	+ add null-pointer check in progs/tabs.c, test/bs.c, test/demo_forms.c,
5528	  test/inchs.c
5529	+ fix memory-leak in tinfo/lib_setup.c, progs/toe.c,
5530	  test/clip_printw.c, test/demo_menus.c
5531	+ delete unused windows in test/chgat.c, test/clip_printw.c,
5532	  test/insdelln.c, test/newdemo.c on error-return.
5533
553420121110
5535	+ modify configure macro CF_INCLUDE_DIRS to put $CPPFLAGS after the
5536	  local -I include options in case someone has set conflicting -I
5537	  options in $CPPFLAGS (prompted by patch for ncurses/Makefile.in by
5538	  Vassili Courzakis).
5539	+ modify the ncurses*-config scripts to eliminate relative paths from
5540	  the RPATH_LIST variable, e.g., "../lib" as used in installing shared
5541	  libraries or executables.
5542
554320121102
5544	+ realign these related pages:
5545	    curs_add_wchstr.3x
5546	    curs_addchstr.3x
5547	    curs_addstr.3x
5548	    curs_addwstr.3x
5549	  and fix a long-ago error in curs_addstr.3x which said that a -1
5550	  length parameter would only write as much as fit onto one line
5551	  (report by Reuben Thomas).
5552	+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_memmove() for memmove()/bcopy().
5553	+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_strdup() for strdup().
5554	+ cancel any debug-rpm in package/ncurses.spec
5555	+ reviewed vte-2012, reverted most of the change since it was incorrect
5556	  based on testing with tack -TD
5557	+ un-cancel the initc in vte-256color, since this was implemented
5558	  starting with version 0.20 in 2009 -TD
5559
556020121026
5561	+ improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
5562	  #866989).
5563	+ add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.
5564	+ updated configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_WITH_PATHLIST.  The
5565	  first corrects pattern used for Mac OS X's customization of gcc.
5566
556720121017
5568	+ fix change to _nc_scroll_optimize(), which incorrectly freed memory
5569	  (Redhat #866989).
5570
557120121013
5572	+ add vte-2012, gnome-2012, making these the defaults for vte/gnome
5573	  (patch by Christian Persch).
5574
557520121006
5576	+ improve CF_GCC_VERSION to work around Debian's customization of gcc
5577	  --version message.
5578	+ improve configure macros as done in byacc:
5579	  + drop 2.13 compatibility; use 2.52.xxxx version only since EMX port
5580	    has used that for a while.
5581	  + add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE's to allow autoheader to run, i.e.,
5582	    for experimental use.
5583	  + remove unused configure macros.
5584	+ modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
5585	  for LIBS_TO_MAKE variable.
5586	+ modify configure script to show $PATH_SEPARATOR variable.
5587	+ update config.guess, config.sub
5588
558920120922
5590	+ modify setupterm to set its copy of TERM to "unknown" if configured
5591	  for the terminal driver and TERM was null or empty.
5592	+ modify treatment of TERM variable for MinGW port to allow explicit
5593	  use of the windows console driver by checking if $TERM is set to
5594	  "#win32con" or an abbreviation of that.
5595	+ undo recent change to fallback definition of vsscanf() to build with
5596	  older Solaris compilers (cf: 20120728).
5597
559820120908
5599	+ add test-screens to test/ncurses to show 256-characters at a time,
5600	  to help with MinGW port.
5601
560220120903
5603	+ simplify varargs logic in lib_printw.c; va_copy is no longer needed
5604	  there.
5605	+ modifications for MinGW port to make wide-character display usable.
5606
560720120902
5608	+ regenerate configure script (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20120901).
5609
561020120901
5611	+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_flush (cf: 20120825).
5612	+ fix a case in _nc_scroll_optimize() where the _oldnums_list array
5613	  might not be allocated.
5614	+ improve comparisons in configure.in for unset shell variables.
5615
561620120826
5617	+ increase size of ncurses' output-buffer, in case of very small
5618	  initial screen-sizes.
5619	+ fix evaluation of TERMINFO and TERMINFO_DIRS default values as needed
5620	  after changes to use --datarootdir (reports by Gabriele Balducci,
5621	  Roumen Petrov).
5622
562320120825
5624	+ change output buffering scheme, using buffer maintained by ncurses
5625	  rather than stdio, to avoid problems with SIGTSTP handling (report
5626	  by Brian Bloniarz).
5627
562820120811
5629	+ update autoconf patch to 2.52.20120811, adding --datarootdir
5630	  (prompted by discussion with Erwin Waterlander).
5631	+ improve description of --enable-reentrant option in README and the
5632	  INSTALL file.
5633	+ add nsterm-256color, make this the default nsterm -TD
5634	+ remove bw from nsterm-bce, per testing with tack -TD
5635
563620120804
5637	+ update test/configure, adding check for tinfo library.
5638	+ improve limit-checks for the getch fifo (report by Werner Fink).
5639	+ fix a remaining mismatch between $with_echo and the symbols updated
5640	  for CF_DISABLE_ECHO affecting parameters for mk-2nd.awk (report by
5641	  Sven Joachim, cf:  20120317).
5642	+ modify followup check for pkg-config's library directory in the
5643	  --enable-pc-files option to validate syntax (report by Sven Joachim,
5644	  cf: 20110716).
5645
564620120728
5647	+ correct path for ncurses_mingw.h in include/headers, in case build
5648	  is done outside source-tree (patch by Roumen Petrov).
5649	+ modify some older xterm entries to align with xterm source -TD
5650	+ separate "xterm-old" alias from "xterm-r6" -TD
5651	+ add E3 extended capability to xterm-basic and putty -TD
5652	+ parenthesize parameters of other macros in curses.h -TD
5653	+ parenthesize parameter of COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER in curses.h
5654	  in case it happens to be a comma-expression, etc.  (patch by Nick
5655	  Black).
5656
565720120721
5658	+ improved form_request_by_name() and menu_request_by_name().
5659	+ eliminate two fixed-size buffers in toe.c
5660	+ extend use_tioctl() to have expected behavior when use_env(FALSE) and
5661	  use_tioctl(TRUE) are called.
5662	+ modify ncurses test-program, adding -E and -T options to demonstrate
5663	  use_env() versus use_tioctl().
5664
566520120714
5666	+ add use_tioctl() function (adapted from patch by Werner Fink,
5667	  Novell #769788):
5668
566920120707
5670	+ add ncurses_mingw.h to installed headers (prompted by patch by
5671	  Juergen Pfeifer).
5672	+ clarify return-codes from wgetch() in response to SIGWINCH (prompted
5673	  by Novell #769788).
5674	+ modify resizeterm() to always push a KEY_RESIZE onto the fifo, even
5675	  if screensize is unchanged.  Modify _nc_update_screensize() to push a
5676	  KEY_RESIZE if there was a SIGWINCH, even if it does not call
5677	  resizeterm().  These changes eliminate the case where a SIGWINCH is
5678	  received, but ERR returned from wgetch or wgetnstr because the screen
5679	  dimensions did not change (Novell #769788).
5680
568120120630
5682	+ add --enable-interop to sample package scripts (suggested by Juergen
5683	  Pfeifer).
5684	+ update CF_PATH_SYNTAX macro, from mawk changes.
5685	+ modify mk-0th.awk to allow for generating llib-ltic, etc., though
5686	  some work is needed on cproto to work with lib_gen.c to update
5687	  llib-lncurses.
5688	+ remove redundant getenv() cal in database-iterator leftover from
5689	  cleanup in 20120622 changes (report by Sven Joachim).
5690
569120120622
5692	+ add -d, -e and -q options to test/demo_terminfo and test/demo_termcap
5693	+ fix caching of environment variables in database-iterator (patch by
5694	  Philippe Troin, Redhat #831366).
5695
569620120616
5697	+ add configure check to distinguish clang from gcc to eliminate
5698	  warnings about unused command-line parameters when compiler warnings
5699	  are enabled.
5700	+ improve behavior when updating terminfo entries which are hardlinked
5701	  by allowing for the possibility that an alias has been repurposed to
5702	  a new primary name.
5703	+ fix some strict compiler warnings based on package scripts.
5704	+ further fixes for configure check for working poll (Debian #676461).
5705
570620120608
5707	+ fix an uninitialized variable in -c/-n logic for infocmp changes
5708	  (cf: 20120526).
5709	+ corrected fix for building c++ binding with clang 3.0 (report/patch
5710	  by Richard Yao, Gentoo #417613, cf: 20110409)
5711	+ correct configure check for working poll, fixing the case where stdin
5712	  is redirected, e.g., in rpm/dpkg builds (Debian #676461).
5713	+ add rpm- and dpkg-scripts, to test those build-environments.
5714	  The resulting packages are used only for testing.
5715
571620120602
5717	+ add kdch1 aka "Remove" to vt220 and vt220-8 entries -TD
5718	+ add kdch1, etc., to qvt108 -TD
5719	+ add dl1/il1 to some entries based on dl/il values -TD
5720	+ add dl to simpleterm -TD
5721	+ add consistency-checks in tic for insert-line vs delete-line
5722	  controls, and insert/delete-char keys
5723	+ correct no-leaks logic in infocmp when doing comparisons, fixing
5724	  duplicate free of entries given via the command-line, and freeing
5725	  entries loaded from the last-but-one of files specified on the
5726	  command-line.
5727	+ add kdch1 to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (reported by David Lord,
5728	  analysis by Martin Husemann).
5729	+ add cnorm/civis to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (report/analysis by
5730	  Onno van der Linden).
5731
573220120526
5733	+ extend -c and -n options of infocmp to allow comparing more than two
5734	  entries.
5735	+ correct check in infocmp for number of terminal names when more than
5736	  two are given.
5737	+ correct typo in curs_threads.3x (report by Yanhui Shen on
5738	  freebsd-hackers mailing list).
5739
574020120512
5741	+ corrected 'op' for bterm (report by Samuel Thibault) -TD
5742	+ modify test/background.c to demonstrate a background character
5743	  holding a colored ACS_HLINE.  The behavior differs from SVr4 due to
5744	  the thick- and double-line extension (cf: 20091003).
5745	+ modify handling of acs characters in PutAttrChar to avoid mapping an
5746	  unmapped character to a space with A_ALTCHARSET set.
5747	+ rewrite vt520 entry based on vt420 -TD
5748
574920120505
5750	+ remove p6 (bold) from opus3n1+ for consistency -TD
5751	+ remove acs stuff from env230 per clues in Ingres termcap -TD
5752	+ modify env230 sgr/sgr0 to match other capabilities -TD
5753	+ modify smacs/rmacs in bq300-8 to match sgr/sgr0 -TD
5754	+ make sgr for dku7202 agree with other caps -TD
5755	+ make sgr for ibmpc agree with other caps -TD
5756	+ make sgr for tek4107 agree with other caps -TD
5757	+ make sgr for ndr9500 agree with other caps -TD
5758	+ make sgr for sco-ansi agree with other caps -TD
5759	+ make sgr for d410 agree with other caps -TD
5760	+ make sgr for d210 agree with other caps -TD
5761	+ make sgr for d470c, d470c-7b agree with other caps -TD
5762	+ remove redundant AC_DEFINE for NDEBUG versus Makefile definition.
5763	+ fix a back-link in _nc_delink_entry(), which is needed if ncurses is
5764	  configured with --enable-termcap and --disable-getcap.
5765
576620120428
5767	+ fix some inconsistencies between vt320/vt420, e.g., cnorm/civis -TD
5768	+ add eslok flag to dec+sl -TD
5769	+ dec+sl applies to vt320 and up -TD
5770	+ drop wsl width from xterm+sl -TD
5771	+ reuse xterm+sl in putty and nsca-m -TD
5772	+ add ansi+tabs to vt520 -TD
5773	+ add ansi+enq to vt220-vt520 -TD
5774	+ fix a compiler warning in example in ncurses-intro.doc (Paul Waring).
5775	+ added paragraph in keyname manpage telling how extended capabilities
5776	  are interpreted as key definitions.
5777	+ modify tic's check of conflicting key definitions to include extended
5778	  capability strings in addition to the existing check on predefined
5779	  keys.
5780
578120120421
5782	+ improve cleanup of temporary files in tic using atexit().
5783	+ add msgr to vt420, similar DEC vtXXX entries -TD
5784	+ add several missing vt420 capabilities from vt220 -TD
5785	+ factor out ansi+pp from several entries -TD
5786	+ change xterm+sl and xterm+sl-twm to include only the status-line
5787	  capabilities and not "use=xterm", making them more generally useful
5788	  as building-blocks -TD
5789	+ add dec+sl building block, as example -TD
5790
579120120414
5792	+ add XT to some terminfo entries to improve usefulness for other
5793	  applications than screen, which would like to pretend that xterm's
5794	  title is a status-line.  -TD
5795	+ change use-clauses in ansi-mtabs, hp2626, and hp2622 based on review
5796	  of ordering and overrides -TD
5797	+ add consistency check in tic for screen's "XT" capability.
5798	+ add section in terminfo.src summarizing the user-defined capabilities
5799	  used in that file -TD
5800
580120120407
5802	+ fix an inconsistency between tic/infocmp "-x" option; tic omits all
5803	  non-standard capabilities, while infocmp was ignoring only the user
5804	  definable capabilities.
5805	+ improve special case in tic parsing of description to allow it to be
5806	  followed by terminfo capabilities.  Previously the description had to
5807	  be the last field on an input line to allow tic to distinguish
5808	  between termcap and terminfo format while still allowing commas to be
5809	  embedded in the description.
5810	+ correct variable name in gen_edit.sh which broke configurability of
5811	  the --with-xterm-kbs option.
5812	+ revert 2011-07-16 change to "linux" alias, return to "linux2.2" -TD
5813	+ further amend 20110910 change, providing for configure-script
5814	  override of the "linux" terminfo entry to install and changing the
5815	  default for that to "linux2.2" (Debian #665959).
5816
581720120331
5818	+ update Ada95/configure to use CF_DISABLE_ECHO (cf: 20120317).
5819	+ correct order of use-clauses in st-256color -TD
5820	+ modify configure script to look for gnatgcc if the Ada95 binding
5821	  is built, in preference to the default gcc/cc (suggested by
5822	  Nicolas Boulenguez).
5823	+ modify configure script to ensure that the same -On option used for
5824	  the C compiler in CFLAGS is used for ADAFLAGS rather than simply
5825	  using "-O3" (suggested by Nicolas Boulenguez)
5826
582720120324
5828	+ amend an old fix so that next_char() exits properly for empty files,
5829	  e.g., from reading /dev/null (cf: 20080804).
5830	+ modify tic so that it can read from the standard input, or from
5831	  a character device.  Because tic uses seek's, this requires writing
5832	  the data to a temporary file first (prompted by remark by Sven
5833	  Joachim) (cf: 20000923).
5834
583520120317
5836	+ correct a check made in lib_napms.c, so that terminfo applications
5837	  can again use napms() (cf: 20110604).
5838	+ add a note in tic.h regarding required casts for ABSENT_BOOLEAN
5839	  (cf: 20040327).
5840	+ correct scripting for --disable-echo option in test/configure.
5841	+ amend check for missing c++ compiler to work when no error is
5842	  reported, and no variables set (cf: 20021206).
5843	+ add/use configure macro CF_DISABLE_ECHO.
5844
584520120310
5846	+ fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits.
5847	+ use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303).
5848	+ improve a limit-check in infocmp.c (Werner Fink):
5849
585020120303
5851	+ minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation
5852	  regarding mapping of \0 to \200
5853	+ minor improvement to _nc_copy_termtype(), using memcpy to replace
5854	  loops.
5855	+ fix no-leaks checking in test/demo_termcap.c to account for multiple
5856	  calls to setupterm().
5857	+ modified the libgpm change to show previous load as a problem in the
5858	  debug-trace.
5859	> merge some patches from OpenSUSE rpm (Werner Fink):
5860	+ ncurses-5.7-printw.dif, fixes for varargs handling in lib_printw.c
5861	+ ncurses-5.7-gpm.dif, do not dlopen libgpm if already loaded by
5862	  runtime linker
5863	+ ncurses-5.6-fallback.dif, do not free arrays and strings from static
5864	  fallback entries
5865
586620120228
5867	+ fix breakage in tic/infocmp from 20120225 (report by Werner Fink).
5868
586920120225
5870	+ modify configure script to allow creating dll's for MinGW when
5871	  cross-compiling.
5872	+ add --enable-string-hacks option to control whether strlcat and
5873	  strlcpy may be used.  The same issue applies to OpenBSD's warnings
5874	  about snprintf, noting that this function is weakly standardized.
5875	+ add configure checks for strlcat, strlcpy and snprintf, to help
5876	  reduce bogus warnings with OpenBSD builds.
5877	+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 to supply consistent intptr_t declaration
5878	  (cf:20111231)
5879	+ update config.guess, config.sub
5880
588120120218
5882	+ correct CF_ETIP_DEFINES configure macro, making it exit properly on
5883	  the first success (patch by Pierre Labastie).
5884	+ improve configure macro CF_MKSTEMP by moving existence-check for
5885	  mkstemp out of the AC_TRY_RUN, to help with cross-compiles.
5886	+ improve configure macro CF_FUNC_POLL from luit changes to detect
5887	  broken implementations, e.g., with Mac OS X.
5888	+ add configure option --with-tparm-arg
5889	+ build-fix for MinGW cross-compiling, so that make_hash does not
5890	  depend on TTY definition (cf: 20111008).
5891
589220120211
5893	+ make sgr for xterm-pcolor agree with other caps -TD
5894	+ make sgr for att5425 agree with other caps -TD
5895	+ make sgr for att630 agree with other caps -TD
5896	+ make sgr for linux entries agree with other caps -TD
5897	+ make sgr for tvi9065 agree with other caps -TD
5898	+ make sgr for ncr260vt200an agree with other caps -TD
5899	+ make sgr for ncr160vt100pp agree with other caps -TD
5900	+ make sgr for ncr260vt300an agree with other caps -TD
5901	+ make sgr for aaa-60-dec-rv, aaa+dec agree with other caps -TD
5902	+ make sgr for cygwin, cygwinDBG agree with other caps -TD
5903	+ add configure option --with-xterm-kbs to simplify configuration for
5904	  Linux versus most other systems.
5905
590620120204
5907	+ improved tic -D option, avoid making target directory and provide
5908	  better diagnostics.
5909
591020120128
5911	+ add mach-gnu (Debian #614316, patch by Samuel Thibault)
5912	+ add mach-gnu-color, tweaks to mach-gnu terminfo -TD
5913	+ make sgr for sun-color agree with smso -TD
5914	+ make sgr for prism9 agree with other caps -TD
5915	+ make sgr for icl6404 agree with other caps -TD
5916	+ make sgr for ofcons agree with other caps -TD
5917	+ make sgr for att5410v1, att4415, att620 agree with other caps -TD
5918	+ make sgr for aaa-unk, aaa-rv agree with other caps -TD
5919	+ make sgr for avt-ns agree with other caps -TD
5920	+ amend fix intended to separate fixups for acsc to allow "tic -cv" to
5921	  give verbose warnings (cf:  20110730).
5922	+ modify misc/gen-edit.sh to make the location of the tabset directory
5923	  consistent with misc/Makefile.in, i.e., using ${datadir}/tabset
5924	  (Debian #653435, patch by Sven Joachim).
5925
592620120121
5927	+ add --with-lib-prefix option to allow configuring for old/new flavors
5928	  of OS/2 EMX.
5929	+ modify check for gnat version to allow for year, as used in FreeBSD
5930	  port.
5931	+ modify check_existence() in db_iterator.c to simply check if the
5932	  path is a directory or file, according to the need.  Checking for
5933	  directory size also gives no usable result with OS/2 (cf: 20120107).
5934	+ support OS/2 kLIBC (patch by KO Myung-Hun).
5935
593620120114
5937	+ several improvements to test/movewindow.c (prompted by discussion on
5938	  Linux Mint forum):
5939	  + modify movement commands to make them continuous
5940	  + rewrote the test for mvderwin
5941	  + rewrote the test for recursive mvwin
5942	+ split-out reusable CF_WITH_NCURSES_ETC macro in test/configure.in
5943	+ updated configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, build-fixes for Mac OS X
5944	  and OpenBSD.
5945	+ regenerated html manpages.
5946
594720120107
5948	+ various improvements for MinGW (Juergen Pfeifer):
5949	  + modify stat() calls to ignore the st_size member
5950	  + drop mk-dlls.sh script.
5951	  + change recommended regular expression library.
5952	  + modify rain.c to allow for threaded configuration.
5953	  + modify tset.c to allow for case when size-change logic is not used.
5954
595520111231
5956	+ modify toe's report when -a and -s options are combined, to add
5957	  a column showing which entries belong to a given database.
5958	+ add -s option to toe, to sort its output.
5959	+ modify progs/toe.c, simplifying use of db-iterator results to use
5960	  caching improvements from 20111001 and 20111126.
5961	+ correct generation of pc-files when ticlib or termlib options are
5962	  given to rename the corresponding tic- or tinfo-libraries (report
5963	  by Sven Joachim).
5964
596520111224
5966	+ document a portability issue with tput, i.e., that scripts which work
5967	  with ncurses may fail in other implementations that do no parameter
5968	  analysis.
5969	+ add putty-sco entry -TD
5970
597120111217
5972	+ review/fix places in manpages where --program-prefix configure option
5973	  was not being used.
5974	+ add -D option to infocmp, to show the database locations that it
5975	  could use.
5976	+ fix build for the special case where term-driver, ticlib and termlib
5977	  are all enabled.  The terminal driver depends on a few features in
5978	  the base ncurses library, so tic's dependencies include both ncurses
5979	  and termlib.
5980	+ fix build work for term-driver when --enable-wgetch-events option is
5981	  enabled.
5982	+ use <stdint.h> types to fix some questionable casts to void*.
5983
598420111210
5985	+ modify configure script to check if thread library provides
5986	  pthread_mutexattr_settype(), e.g., not provided by Solaris 2.6
5987	+ modify configure script to suppress check to define _XOPEN_SOURCE
5988	  for IRIX64, since its header files have a conflict versus
5989	  _SGI_SOURCE.
5990	+ modify configure script to add ".pc" files for tic- and
5991	  tinfo-libraries, which were omitted in recent change (cf: 20111126).
5992	+ fix inconsistent checks on $PKG_CONFIG variable in configure script.
5993
599420111203
5995	+ modify configure-check for etip.h dependencies, supplying a temporary
5996	  copy of ncurses_dll.h since it is a generated file (prompted by
5997	  Debian #646977).
5998	+ modify CF_CPP_PARAM_INIT "main" function to work with current C++.
5999
600020111126
6001	+ correct database iterator's check for duplicate entries
6002	  (cf: 20111001).
6003	+ modify database iterator to ignore $TERMCAP when it is not an
6004	  absolute pathname.
6005	+ add -D option to tic, to show the database locations that it could
6006	  use.
6007	+ improve description of database locations in tic manpage.
6008	+ modify the configure script to generate a list of the ".pc" files to
6009	  generate, rather than deriving the list from the libraries which have
6010	  been built (patch by Mike Frysinger).
6011	+ use AC_CHECK_TOOLS in preference to AC_PATH_PROGS when searching for
6012	  ncurses*-config, e.g., in Ada95/configure and test/configure (adapted
6013	  from patch by Mike Frysinger).
6014
601520111119
6016	+ remove obsolete/conflicting fallback definition for _POSIX_SOURCE
6017	  from curses.priv.h, fixing a regression with IRIX64 and Tru64
6018	  (cf: 20110416)
6019	+ modify _nc_tic_dir() to ensure that its return-value is nonnull,
6020	  i.e., the database iterator was not initialized.  This case is needed
6021	  to when tic is translating to termcap, rather than loading the
6022	  database (cf:  20111001).
6023
602420111112
6025	+ add pccon entries for OpenBSD console (Alexei Malinin).
6026	+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 with gcc 4.2.1, setting _XOPEN_SOURCE to
6027	  600 to work around inconsistent ifdef'ing of wcstof between C and
6028	  C++ header files.
6029	+ modify capconvert script to accept more than exact match on "xterm",
6030	  e.g., the "xterm-*" variants, to exclude from the conversion (patch
6031	  by Robert Millan).
6032	+ add -lc_r as alternative for -lpthread, allows build of threaded code
6033	  in older FreeBSD machines.
6034	+ build-fix for MirBSD, which fails when either _XOPEN_SOURCE or
6035	  _POSIX_SOURCE are defined.
6036	+ fix a typo misc/Makefile.in, used in uninstalling pc-files.
6037
603820111030
6039	+ modify make_db_path() to allow creating "terminfo.db" in the same
6040	  directory as an existing "terminfo" directory.  This fixes a case
6041	  where switching between hashed/filesystem databases would cause the
6042	  new hashed database to be installed in the next best location -
6043	  root's home directory.
6044	+ add variable cf_cv_prog_gnat_correct to those passed to
6045	  config.status, fixing a problem with Ada95 builds (cf: 20111022).
6046	+ change feature test from _XPG5 to _XOPEN_SOURCE in two places, to
6047	  accommodate broken implementations for _XPG6.
6048	+ eliminate usage of NULL symbol from etip.h, to reduce header
6049	  interdependencies.
6050	+ add configure check to decide when to add _XOPEN_SOURCE define to
6051	  compiler options, i.e., for Solaris 10 and later (cf: 20100403).
6052	  This is a workaround for gcc 4.6, which fails to build the c++
6053	  binding if that symbol is defined by the application, due to
6054	  incorrectly combining the corresponding feature test macros
6055	  (report by Peter Kruse).
6056
605720111022
6058	+ correct logic for discarding mouse events, retaining the partial
6059	  events used to build up click, double-click, etc, until needed
6060	  (cf: 20110917).
6061	+ fix configure script to avoid creating unused Ada95 makefile when
6062	  gnat does not work.
6063	+ cleanup width-related gcc 3.4.3 warnings for 64-bit platform, for the
6064	  internal functions of libncurses.  The external interface of courses
6065	  uses bool, which still produces these warnings.
6066
606720111015
6068	+ improve description of --disable-tic-depends option to make it
6069	  clear that it may be useful whether or not the --with-termlib
6070	  option is also given (report by Sven Joachim).
6071	+ amend termcap equivalent for set_pglen_inch to use the X/Open
6072	  "YI" rather than the obsolete Solaris 2.5 "sL" (cf: 990109).
6073	+ improve manpage for tgetent differences from termcap library.
6074
607520111008
6076	+ moved static data from db_iterator.c to lib_data.c
6077	+ modify db_iterator.c for memory-leak checking, fix one leak.
6078	+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to use Requires.private for the parts
6079	  of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the
6080	  other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728).
6081
608220111001
6083	+ modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force
6084	  source-output.  That allows the same flag to control the parser for
6085	  input and output of termcap source.
6086	+ modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line,
6087	  making it consistent with ncurses' parser.
6088	+ restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap
6089	  text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924).
6090	+ modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the
6091	  conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is
6092	  normally following in the source file.  Also improved the warning
6093	  message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem.
6094	+ improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list.
6095
609620110925
6097	+ add a missing "else" in changes to _nc_read_tic_entry().
6098
609920110924
6100	+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() so that hashed-database is checked before
6101	  filesystem.
6102	+ updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
6103	+ modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
6104	  TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
6105	  to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick
6106	  Alcock aka "Nix").
6107	+ build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (cf: 20110917).
6108
610920110917
6110	+ fix compiler warning for clang 2.9
6111	+ improve merging of mouse events (integrated patch by Damien
6112	  Guibouret).
6113	+ correct mask-check used in lib_mouse for wheel mouse buttons 4/5
6114	  (patch by Damien Guibouret).
6115
611620110910
6117	+ modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with
6118	  the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0"
6119	  (cf: 20110716).
6120	+ revert a change to getmouse() which had the undesirable side-effect
6121	  of suppressing button-release events (report by Damien Guibouret,
6122	  cf: 20100102).
6123	+ add xterm+kbs fragment from xterm #272 -TD
6124	+ add configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir to provide control over
6125	  the actual directory into which pc-files are installed, do not use
6126	  the pkg-config environment variables (discussion with Frederic L W
6127	  Meunier).
6128	+ add link to mailing-list archive in announce.html.in, as done in
6129	  FAQ (prompted by question by Andrius Bentkus).
6130	+ improve manpage install by adjusting the "#include" examples to
6131	  show the ncurses-subdirectory used when --disable-overwrite option
6132	  is used.
6133	+ install an alias for "curses" to the ncurses manpage, tied to the
6134	  --with-curses-h configure option (suggested by Reuben Thomas).
6135
613620110903
6137	+ propagate error-returns from wresize, i.e., the internal
6138	  increase_size and decrease_size functions through resize_term (report
6139	  by Tim van der Molen, cf:  20020713).
6140	+ fix typo in tset manpage (patch by Sven Joachim).
6141
614220110820
6143	+ add a check to ensure that termcap files which might have "^?" do
6144	  not use the terminfo interpretation as "\177".
6145	+ minor cleanup of X-terminal emulator section of terminfo.src -TD
6146	+ add terminator entry -TD
6147	+ add simpleterm entry -TD
6148	+ improve wattr_get macros by ensuring that if the window pointer is
6149	  null, then the attribute and color values returned will be zero
6150	  (cf: 20110528).
6151
615220110813
6153	+ add substitution for $RPATH_LIST to misc/ncurses-config.in
6154	+ improve performance of tic with hashed-database by caching the
6155	  database connection, using atexit() to cleanup.
6156	+ modify treatment of 2-character aliases at the beginning of termcap
6157	  entries so they are not counted in use-resolution, since these are
6158	  guaranteed to be unique.  Also ignore these aliases when reporting
6159	  the primary name of the entry (cf: 20040501)
6160	+ double-check gn (generic) flag in terminal descriptions to
6161	  accommodate old/buggy termcap databases which misused that feature.
6162	+ minor fixes to _nc_tgetent(), ensure buffer is initialized even on
6163	  error-return.
6164
616520110807
6166	+ improve rpath fix from 20110730 by ensuring that the new $RPATH_LIST
6167	  variable is defined in the makefiles which use it.
6168	+ build-fix for DragonFlyBSD's pkgsrc in test/configure script.
6169	+ build-fixes for NetBSD 5.1 with termcap support enabled.
6170	+ corrected k9 in dg460-ansi, add other features based on manuals -TD
6171	+ improve trimming of whitespace at the end of terminfo/termcap output
6172	  from tic/infocmp.
6173	+ when writing termcap source, ensure that colons in the description
6174	  field are translated to a non-delimiter, i.e., "=".
6175	+ add "-0" option to tic/infocmp, to make the termcap/terminfo source
6176	  use a single line.
6177	+ add a null-pointer check when handling the $CC variable.
6178
617920110730
6180	+ modify configure script and makefiles in c++ and progs to allow the
6181	  directory used for rpath option to be overridden, e.g., to work
6182	  around updates to the variables used by tic during an install.
6183	+ add -K option to tic/infocmp, to provide stricter BSD-compatibility
6184	  for termcap output.
6185	+ add _nc_strict_bsd variable in tic library which controls the
6186	  "strict" BSD termcap compatibility from 20110723, plus these
6187	  features:
6188	  + allow escapes such as "\8" and "\9" when reading termcap
6189	  + disallow "\a", "\e", "\l", "\s" and "\:" escapes when reading
6190	    termcap files, passing through "a", "e", etc.
6191	  + expand "\:" as "\072" on output.
6192	+ modify _nc_get_token() to reset the token's string value in case
6193	  there is a string-typed token lacking the "=" marker.
6194	+ fix a few memory leaks in _nc_tgetent.
6195	+ fix a few places where reading from a termcap file could refer to
6196	  freed memory.
6197	+ add an overflow check when converting terminfo/termcap numeric
6198	  values, since terminfo stores those in a short, and they must be
6199	  positive.
6200	+ correct internal variables used for translating to termcap "%>"
6201	  feature, and translating from termcap %B to terminfo, needed by
6202	  tctest (cf: 19991211).
6203	+ amend a minor fix to acsc when loading a termcap file to separate it
6204	  from warnings needed for tic (cf: 20040710)
6205	+ modify logic in _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_tic_entry() to allow
6206	  a termcap file to be handled via TERMINFO_DIRS.
6207	+ modify _nc_infotocap() to include non-mandatory padding when
6208	  translating to termcap.
6209	+ modify _nc_read_termcap_entry(), passing a flag in the case where
6210	  getcap is used, to reduce interactive warning messages.
6211
621220110723
6213	+ add a check in start_color() to limit color-pairs to 256 when
6214	  extended colors are not supported (patch by David Benjamin).
6215	+ modify setcchar to omit no-longer-needed OR'ing of color pair in
6216	  the SetAttr() macro (patch by David Benjamin).
6217	+ add kich1 to sun terminfo entry (Yuri Pankov)
6218	+ use bold rather than reverse for smso in sun-color terminfo entry
6219	  (Yuri Pankov).
6220	+ improve generation of termcap using tic/infocmp -C option, e.g.,
6221	  to correspond with 4.2BSD (prompted by discussion with Yuri Pankov
6222	  regarding Schilling's test program):
6223	  + translate %02 and %03 to %2 and %3 respectively.
6224	  + suppress string capabilities which use %s, not supported by tgoto
6225	  + use \040 rather than \s
6226	  + expand null characters as \200 rather than \0
6227	+ modify configure script to support shared libraries for DragonFlyBSD.
6228
622920110716
6230	+ replace an assert() in _nc_Free_Argument() with a regular null
6231	  pointer check (report/analysis by Franjo Ivancic).
6232	+ modify configure --enable-pc-files option to take into account the
6233	  PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
6234	+ add/use xterm+tmux chunk from xterm #271 -TD
6235	+ resync xterm-new entry from xterm #271 -TD
6236	+ add E3 extended capability to linux-basic (Miroslav Lichvar)
6237	+ add linux2.2, linux2.6, linux3.0 entries to give context for E3 -TD

6242
624320110702
6244	+ add workaround from xterm #271 changes to ensure that compiler flags
6245	  are not used in the $CC variable.
6246	+ improve support for shared libraries, tested with AIX 5.3, 6.1 and
6247	  7.1 with both gcc 4.2.4 and cc.
6248	+ modify configure checks for AIX to include release 7.x
6249	+ add loader flags/libraries to libtool options so that dynamic loading
6250	  works properly, adapted from ncurses-5.7-ldflags-with-libtool.patch
6251	  at gentoo prefix repository (patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
6252
625320110626
6254	+ move include of nc_termios.h out of term_entry.h, since the latter
6255	  is installed, e.g., for tack while the former is not (report by
6256	  Sven Joachim).
6257
625820110625
6259	+ improve cleanup() function in lib_tstp.c, using _exit() rather than
6260	  exit() and checking for SIGTERM rather than SIGQUIT (prompted by
6261	  comments forwarded by Nicholas Marriott).
6262	+ reduce name pollution from term.h, moving fallback #define's for
6263	  tcgetattr(), etc., to new private header nc_termios.h (report by
6264	  Sergio NNX).
6265	+ two minor fixes for tracing (patch by Vassili Courzakis).
6266	+ improve trace initialization by starting it in use_env() and

6269
627020110611
6271	+ update minix entry to minix 3.2 (Thomas Cort).
6272	+ fix a strict compiler warning in change to wattr_get (cf: 20110528).
6273
627420110604
6275	+ fixes for MirBSD port:
6276	  + set default prefix to /usr.
6277	  + add support for shared libraries in configure script.
6278	  + use S_ISREG and S_ISDIR consistently, with fallback definitions.
6279	+ add a few more checks based on ncurses/link_test.

6281
628220110528
6283	+ add case to CF_SHARED_OPTS for Interix (patch by Markus Duft).
6284	+ used ncurses/link_test to check for behavior when the terminal has
6285	  not been initialized and when an application passes null pointers
6286	  to the library.  Added checks to cover this (prompted by Redhat
6287	  #707344).
6288	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to make its main() function call each function
6289	  with zero parameters, to help find inconsistent checking for null
6290	  pointers, etc.
6291
629220110521
6293	+ fix warnings from clang 2.7 "--analyze"
6294
629520110514
6296	+ compiler-warning fixes in panel and progs.
6297	+ modify CF_PKG_CONFIG macro, from changes to tin -TD
6298	+ modify CF_CURSES_FUNCS configure macro, used in test directory
6299	  configure script:
6300	  + work around (non-optimizer) bug in gcc 4.2.1 which caused
6301	    test-expression to be omitted from executable.
6302	  + force the linker to see a link-time expression of a symbol, to
6303	    help work around weak-symbol issues.
6304
630520110507
6306	+ update discussion of MKfallback.sh script in INSTALL; normally the
6307	  script is used automatically via the configured makefiles.  However
6308	  there are still occasions when it might be used directly by packagers
6309	  (report by Gunter Schaffler).
6310	+ modify misc/ncurses-config.in to omit the "-L" option from the
6311	  "--libs" output if the library directory is /usr/lib.
6312	+ change order of tests for curses.h versus ncurses.h headers in the
6313	  configure scripts for Ada95 and test-directories, to look for
6314	  ncurses.h, from fixes to tin -TD

6316	  (report by Joachim Schmitz).
6317
631820110430
6319	+ modify rules in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to ensure that the PIC option
6320	  is not used when building a static library (report by Nicolas
6321	  Boulenguez):
6322	+ Ada95 build-fix for big-endian architectures such as sparc.  This
6323	  undoes one of the fixes from 20110319, which added an "Unused" member
6324	  to representation clauses, replacing that with pragmas to suppress
6325	  warnings about unused bits (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
6326
632720110423
6328	+ add check in test/configure for use_window, use_screen.
6329	+ add configure-checks for getopt's variables, which may be declared
6330	  as different types on some Unix systems.
6331	+ add check in test/configure for some legacy curses types of the
6332	  function pointer passed to tputs().
6333	+ modify init_pair() to accept -1's for color value after
6334	  assume_default_colors() has been called (Debian #337095).
6335	+ modify test/background.c, adding command-line options to demonstrate
6336	  assume_default_colors() and use_default_colors().
6337
633820110416
6339	+ modify configure script/source-code to only define _POSIX_SOURCE if
6340	  the checks for sigaction and/or termios fail, and if _POSIX_C_SOURCE
6341	  and _XOPEN_SOURCE are undefined (report by Valentin Ochs).
6342	+ update config.guess, config.sub
6343

6348	  some ncurses packages.
6349	+ add "--disable-widec" option to test/configure script.
6350	+ add "--with-curses-colr" and "--with-curses-5lib" options to the
6351	  test/configure script to address testing with very old machines.
6352
635320110404 5.9 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
6354
635520110402
6356	+ various build-fixes for the rpm/dpkg scripts.
6357	+ add "--enable-rpath-link" option to Ada95/configure, to allow
6358	  packages to suppress the rpath feature which is normally used for
6359	  the in-tree build of sample programs.
6360	+ corrected definition of libdir variable in Ada95/src/Makefile.in,
6361	  needed for rpm script.
6362	+ add "--with-shared" option to Ada95/configure script, to allow
6363	  making the C-language parts of the binding use appropriate compiler
6364	  options if building a shared library with gnat.
6365
636620110329
6367	> portability fixes for Ada95 binding:
6368	+ add configure check to ensure that SIGINT works with gnat.  This is
6369	  needed for the "rain" sample program.  If SIGINT does not work, omit
6370	  that sample program.
6371	+ correct typo in check of $PKG_CONFIG variable in Ada95/configure
6372	+ add ncurses_compat.c, to supply functions used in the Ada95 binding
6373	  which were added in 5.7 and later.
6374	+ modify sed expression in CF_NCURSES_ADDON to eliminate a dependency
6375	  upon GNU sed.
6376
637720110326
6378	+ add special check in Ada95/configure script for ncurses6 reentrant
6379	  code.
6380	+ regen Ada html documentation.

6387	  libraries, i.e., collections of .ali files.
6388	+ make all dereferences in Ada95 samples explicit.
6389	+ fix typo in comment in lib_add_wch.c (patch by Petr Pavlu).
6390	+ add configure check for, ifdef's for math.h which is in a separate
6391	  package on Solaris and potentially not installed (report by Petr
6392	  Pavlu).
6393	> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
6394	+ improve type-checking in Ada95 by eliminating a few warning-suppress
6395	  pragmas.
6396	+ suppress unreferenced warnings.
6397	+ make all dereferences in binding explicit.
6398
639920110319
6400	+ regen Ada html documentation.
6401	+ change order of -I options from ncurses*-config script when the
6402	  --disable-overwrite option was used, so that the subdirectory include
6403	  is listed first.
6404	+ modify the make-tar.sh scripts to add a MANIFEST and NEWS file.
6405	+ modify configure script to provide value for HTML_DIR in
6406	  Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, which depends on whether the Ada95 binding is
6407	  distributed separately (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
6408	+ modify configure script to add "-g" and/or "-O3" to ADAFLAGS if the
6409	  CFLAGS for the build has these options.
6410	+ amend change from 20070324, to not add 1 to the result of getmaxx
6411	  and getmaxy in the Ada binding (report by Nicolas Boulenguez for
6412	  thread in comp.lang.ada).
6413	+ build-fix Ada95/samples for gnat 4.5
6414	+ spelling fixes for Ada95/samples/explain.txt
6415	> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
6416	+ add item in Trace_Attribute_Set corresponding to TRACE_ATTRS.
6417	+ add workaround for binding to set_field_type(), which uses varargs.
6418	  The original binding from 990220 relied on the prevalent
6419	  implementation of varargs which did not support or need va_copy().
6420	+ add dependency on gen/Makefile.in needed for *-panels.ads
6421	+ add Library_Options to library.gpr
6422	+ add Languages to library.gpr, for gprbuild
6423
642420110307
6425	+ revert changes to limit-checks from 20110122 (Debian #616711).
6426	> minor type-cleanup of Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
6427	+ corrected a minor sign error in a field of Low_Level_Field_Type, to
6428	  conform to form.h.
6429	+ replaced C_Int by Curses_Bool as return type for some callbacks, see
6430	  fieldtype(3FORM).
6431	+ modify samples/sample-explain.adb to provide explicit message when
6432	  explain.txt is not found.
6433
643420110305
6435	+ improve makefiles for Ada95 tree (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).

6449	  a new install of hashed database.
6450	+ fix typo in Ada95/mk-1st.awk which causes error with original awk.
6451
645220110220
6453	+ configure script rpath fixes from xterm #269.

6464
646520110205
6466	+ add xterm-utf8 entry as a demo of the U8 feature -TD
6467	+ add U8 feature to denote entries for terminal emulators which do not
6468	  support VT100 SI/SO when processing UTF-8 encoding -TD
6469	+ improve the NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS feature by adding a check for an
6470	  extended terminfo capability U8 (prompted by mailing list
6471	  discussion).

6540
654120101120
6542	+ improve checks in test/configure for X libraries, from xterm #267
6543	  changes.
6544	+ modify test/configure to allow it to use the build-tree's libraries
6545	  e.g., when using that to configure the test-programs without the
6546	  rpath feature (request by Sven Joachim).
6547	+ repurpose "gnome" terminfo entries as "vte", retaining "gnome" items
6548	  for compatibility, but generally deprecating those since the VTE
6549	  library is what actually defines the behavior of "gnome", etc.,
6550	  since 2003 -TD

6570	  more closely match the non-thread naming (report by Werner Fink).
6571	+ modify configure check for tic program, used for fallbacks, to a
6572	  warning if not found.  This makes it simpler to use additional

6593	  inconsistent printer-controls.
6594	+ fill in no-parameter forms of cursor-movement where a parameterized

6609
661020100925
6611	+ add "XT" capability to entries for terminals that support both
6612	  xterm-style mouse- and title-controls, for "screen" which
6613	  special-cases TERM beginning with "xterm" or "rxvt" -TD
6614	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6615	+ use 64-Bit MinGW toolchain (recommended package from TDM, see
6616	  README.MinGW).
6617	+ support pthreads when using the TDM MinGW toolchain
6618
661920100918
6620	+ regenerated html manpages.
6621	+ minor fixes for symlinks to curs_legacy.3x and curs_slk.3x manpages.

6644	  descriptions from text-files (Debian #593920).
6645	+ improve acsc string for vt52, show arrow keys (patch by Benjamin
6646	  Sittler).
6647
664820100814
6649	+ document in manpages that "mv" functions first use wmove() to check
6650	  the window pointer and whether the position lies within the window
6651	  (suggested by Poul-Henning Kamp).
6652	+ fixes to curs_color.3x, curs_kernel.3x and wresize.3x manpages (patch
6653	  by Tim van der Molen).

6658	  directory leftover on checks with Mac OS X.
6659	+ modify configure script to cleanup after check for symbolic links.
6660
666120100807

6665	  used for installing database and for generating fallback data,
6666	  e.g., for cross-compiling.
6667	+ add Markus Kuhn's wcwidth function for compiling MinGW
6668	+ add special case to CF_REGEX for cross-compiling to MinGW target.
6669
667020100731
6671	+ modify initialization check for win32con driver to eliminate need for
6672	  special case for TERM "unknown", using terminal database if available
6673	  (prompted by discussion with Roumen Petrov).
6674	+ for MinGW port, ensure that terminal driver is setup if tgetent()

6681	+ add a check in tic for missing set_tab if clear_all_tabs given.
6682	+ improve use of symbolic links in makefiles by using "-f" option if
6683	  it is supported, to eliminate temporary removal of the target
6684	  (prompted by http://www.t2-project.org/packages/ncurses.html)
6685	+ minor improvement to test/ncurses.c, reset color pairs in 'd' test
6686	  after exit from 'm' main-menu command.
6687	+ improved ncu-indent, from mawk changes, allows more than one of
6688	  GCC_NORETURN, GCC_PRINTFLIKE and GCC_SCANFLIKE on a single line.
6689
669020100717
6691	+ add hard-reset for rs2 to wsvt25 to help ensure that reset ends
6692	  the alternate character set (patch by Nicholas Marriott)
6693	+ remove tar-copy.sh and related configure/Makefile chunks, since the
6694	  Ada95 binding is now installed using rules in Ada95/src.
6695
669620100703
6697	+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
6698	  + add/use configure check to turn on project rules for Ada95/src.
6699	+ revert the vfork change from 20100130, since it does not work.
6700
670120100626
6702	+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
6703	  + old gnatmake (3.15) does not produce libraries using project-file;
6704	    work around by adding script to generate alternate makefile.
6705
670620100619
6707	+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
6708	  + add configure --with-ada-sharedlib option, for the test_make rule.
6709	  + move Ada95-related logic into aclocal.m4, since additional checks
6710	    will be needed to distinguish old/new implementations of gnat.
6711
671220100612
6713	+ start integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95 tree
6714	  + add test_make / test_clean / test_install rules in Ada95/src
6715	  + change install-path for adainclude directory to /usr/share/ada (was
6716	    /usr/lib/ada).
6717	+ update Ada95/configure.
6718	+ add mlterm+256color entry, for mlterm 3.0.0 -TD
6719	+ modify test/configure to use macros to ensure consistent order
6720	  of updating LIBS variable.
6721
672220100605
6723	+ change search order of options for Solaris in CF_SHARED_OPTS, to
6724	  work with 64-bit compiles.
6725	+ correct quoting of assignment in CF_SHARED_OPTS case for aix
6726	  (cf: 20081227)
6727

6729	+ regenerated html documentation.
6730	+ modify test/configure to support pkg-config for checking X libraries
6731	  used by PDCurses.

6733	  assignments to $LIBS, etc.
6734	+ fix configure script for combining --with-pthread
6735	  and --enable-weak-symbols options.
6736
673720100522
6738	+ correct cross-compiling configure check for CF_MKSTEMP macro, by
6739	  adding a check cache variable set by AC_CHECK_FUNC (report by
6740	  Pierre Labastie).
6741	+ simplify include-dependencies of make_hash and make_keys, to reduce
6742	  the need for setting BUILD_CPPFLAGS in cross-compiling when the
6743	  build- and target-machines differ.
6744	+ repair broken-linker configuration by restoring a definition of SP
6745	  variable to curses.priv.h, and adjusting for cases where sp-funcs
6746	  are used.
6747	+ improve configure macro CF_AR_FLAGS, allowing ARFLAGS environment
6748	  variable to override (prompted by report by Pablo Cazallas).
6749
675020100515
6751	+ add configure option --enable-pthreads-eintr to control whether the
6752	  new EINTR feature is enabled.
6753	+ modify logic in pthread configuration to allow EINTR to interrupt
6754	  a read operation in wgetch() (Novell #540571, patch by Werner Fink).
6755	+ drop mkdirs.sh, use "mkdir -p".
6756	+ add configure option --disable-libtool-version, to use the
6757	  "-version-number" feature which was added in libtool 1.5 (report by
6758	  Peter Haering).  The default value for the option uses the newer
6759	  feature, which makes libraries generated using libtool compatible
6760	  with the standard builds of ncurses.
6761	+ updated test/configure to match configure script macros.
6762	+ fixes for configure script from lynx changes:
6763	  + improve CF_FIND_LINKAGE logic for the case where a function is
6764	    found in predefined libraries.
6765	  + revert part of change to CF_HEADER (cf: 20100424)
6766
676720100501
6768	+ correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for begy/begx values
6769	  (patch by David Benjamin).
6770	+ fix most compiler warnings from clang.
6771	+ amend build-fix for OpenSolaris, to ensure that a system header is
6772	  included in curses.h before testing feature symbols, since they
6773	  may be defined by that route.
6774
677520100424
6776	+ fix some strict compiler warnings in ncurses library.
6777	+ modify configure macro CF_HEADER_PATH to not look for variations in
6778	  the predefined include directories.
6779	+ improve configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GCC_WARNINGS to work
6780	  with gcc 4.x's c89 alias, which gives warning messages for cases
6781	  where older versions would produce an error.
6782
678320100417
6784	+ modify _nc_capcmp() to work with cancelled strings.
6785	+ correct translation of "^" in _nc_infotocap(), used to transform
6786	  terminfo to termcap strings
6787	+ add configure --disable-rpath-hack, to allow disabling the feature
6788	  which adds rpath options for libraries in unusual places.
6789	+ improve CF_RPATH_HACK_2 by checking if the rpath option for a given
6790	  directory was already added.
6791	+ improve CF_RPATH_HACK_2 by using ldd to provide a standard list of
6792	  directories (which will be ignored).
6793
679420100410
6795	+ improve win_driver.c handling of mouse:
6796	  + discard motion events
6797	  + avoid calling _nc_timed_wait when there is a mouse event
6798	  + handle 4th and "rightmost" buttons.
6799	+ quote substitutions in CF_RPATH_HACK_2 configure macro, needed for
6800	  cases where there are embedded blanks in the rpath option.
6801
680220100403
6803	+ add configure check for exctags vs ctags, to work around pkgsrc.
6804	+ simplify logic in _nc_get_screensize() to make it easier to see how
6805	  environment variables may override system- and terminfo-values
6806	  (prompted by discussion with Igor Bujna).
6807	+ make debug-traces for COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER less verbose.
6808	+ improve handling of color-pairs embedded in attributes for the
6809	  extended-colors configuration.
6810	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to build link_test with sp-funcs.
6811	+ build-fixes for OpenSolaris aka Solaris 11, for wide-character
6812	  configuration as well as for rpath feature in *-config scripts.
6813
681420100327
6815	+ refactor CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro, making CF_RPATH_HACK more
6816	  reusable.
6817	+ improve configure CF_REGEX, similar fixes.
6818	+ improve configure CF_FIND_LINKAGE, adding add check between system
6819	  (default) and explicit paths, where we can find the entrypoint in the
6820	  given library.
6821	+ add check if Gpm_Open() returns a -2, e.g., for "xterm".  This is
6822	  normally suppressed but can be overridden using $NCURSES_GPM_TERMS.
6823	  Ensure that Gpm_Close() is called in this case.
6824
682520100320
6826	+ rename atari and st52 terminfo entries to atari-old, st52-old, use
6827	  newer entries from FreeMiNT by Guido Flohr (from patch/report by Alan
6828	  Hourihane).
6829
683020100313
6831	+ modify install-rule for manpages so that *-config manpages will
6832	  install when building with --srcdir (report by Sven Joachim).
6833	+ modify CF_DISABLE_LEAKS configure macro so that the --enable-leaks
6834	  option is not the same as --disable-leaks (GenToo #305889).
6835	+ modify #define's for build-compiler to suppress cchar_t symbol from
6836	  compile of make_hash and make_keys, improving cross-compilation of
6837	  ncursesw (report by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
6838	+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to replace all occurrences of
6839	  TPUT in tput.1's manpage (Debian #573597, report/analysis by Anders
6840	  Kaseorg).
6841
684220100306
6843	+ generate manpages for the *-config scripts, adapted from help2man
6844	  (suggested by Sven Joachim).
6845	+ use va_copy() in _nc_printf_string() to avoid conflicting use of
6846	  va_list value in _nc_printf_length() (report by Wim Lewis).
6847
684820100227
6849	+ add Ada95/configure script, to use in tar-file created by
6850	  Ada95/make-tar.sh
6851	+ fix typo in wresize.3x (patch by Tim van der Molen).
6852	+ modify screen-bce.XXX entries to exclude ech, since screen's color
6853	  model does not clear with color for that feature -TD
6854
685520100220
6856	+ add make-tar.sh scripts to Ada95 and test subdirectories to help with
6857	  making those separately distributable.
6858	+ build-fix for static libraries without dlsym (Debian #556378).
6859	+ fix a syntax error in man/form_field_opts.3x (patch by Ingo
6860	  Schwarze).
6861
686220100213
6863	+ add several screen-bce.XXX entries -TD
6864
686520100206
6866	+ update mrxvt terminfo entry -TD
6867	+ modify win_driver.c to support mouse single-clicks.
6868	+ correct name for termlib in ncurses*-config, e.g., if it is renamed
6869	  to provide a single file for ncurses/ncursesw libraries (patch by
6870	  Miroslav Lichvar).
6871
687220100130
6873	+ use vfork in test/ditto.c if available (request by Mike Frysinger).
6874	+ miscellaneous cleanup of manpages.
6875	+ fix typo in curs_bkgd.3x (patch by Tim van der Molen).
6876	+ build-fix for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
6877
687820100123
6879	+ for term-driver configuration, ensure that the driver pointer is
6880	  initialized in setupterm so that terminfo/termcap programs work.
6881	+ amend fix for Debian #542031 to ensure that wattrset() returns only
6882	  OK or ERR, rather than the attribute value (report by Miroslav
6883	  Lichvar).
6884	+ reorder WINDOWLIST to put WINDOW data after SCREEN pointer, making
6885	  _nc_screen_of() compatible between normal/wide libraries again (patch
6886	  by Miroslav Lichvar)
6887	+ review/fix include-dependencies in modules files (report by Miroslav
6888	  Lichvar).
6889
689020100116
6891	+ modify win_driver.c to initialize acs_map for win32 console, so
6892	  that line-drawing works.
6893	+ modify win_driver.c to initialize TERMINAL struct so that programs
6894	  such as test/lrtest.c and test/ncurses.c which test string
6895	  capabilities can run.
6896	+ modify term-driver modules to eliminate forward-reference
6897	  declarations.
6898
689920100109
6900	+ modify configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., to use CF_ADD_CFLAGS
6901	  consistently to add new -D's while removing duplicates.
6902	+ modify a few configure macros to consistently put new options
6903	  before older in the list.
6904	+ add tiparm(), based on review of X/Open Curses Issue 7.
6905	+ minor documentation cleanup.
6906	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
6907		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
6908	  (caveat - its maintainer put 2010 copyright date on files dated 2009)
6909
691020100102
6911	+ minor improvement to tic's checking of similar SGR's to allow for the
6912	  most common case of SGR 0.
6913	+ modify getmouse() to act as its documentation implied, returning on
6914	  each call the preceding event until none are left.  When no more
6915	  events remain, it will return ERR.
6916
691720091227
6918	+ change order of lookup in progs/tput.c, looking for terminfo data
6919	  first.  This fixes a confusion between termcap "sg" and terminfo
6920	  "sgr" or "sgr0", originally from 990123 changes, but exposed by
6921	  20091114 fixes for hashing.  With this change, only "dl" and "ed" are
6922	  ambiguous (Mandriva #56272).
6923
692420091226
6925	+ add bterm terminfo entry, based on bogl 0.1.18 -TD
6926	+ minor fix to rxvt+pcfkeys terminfo entry -TD
6927	+ build-fixes for Ada95 tree for gnat 4.4 "style".
6928
692920091219
6930	+ remove old check in mvderwin() which prevented moving a derived
6931	  window whose origin happened to coincide with its parent's origin
6932	  (report by Katarina Machalkova).
6933	+ improve test/ncurses.c to put mouse droppings in the proper window.
6934	+ update minix terminfo entry -TD
6935	+ add bw (auto-left-margin) to nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler)
6936
693720091212
6938	+ correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
6939	  field_buffer(), which stopped at the end of the first row due to
6940	  filling of unused entries in a cchar_t array with nulls.
6941	+ updated nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler, Emanuele Giaquinta)
6942	+ modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to show wide-character
6943	  nulls.
6944	+ use strdup() in set_menu_mark(), restore .marklen struct member on
6945	  failure.
6946	+ eliminate clause 3 from the UCB copyrights in read_termcap.c and
6947	  tset.c per
6948		ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change
6949	  (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
6950	+ replace a malloc in tic.c with strdup, checking for failure (patch by
6951	  Nicholas Marriott).
6952	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
6953		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
6954
695520091205
6956	+ correct layout of working window used to extract data in
6957	  wide-character configured by set_field_buffer (patch by Rafael
6958	  Garrido Fernandez)
6959	+ improve some limit-checks related to filename length in reading and
6960	  writing terminfo entries.
6961	+ ensure that filename is always filled in when attempting to read
6962	  a terminfo entry, so that infocmp can report the filename (patch
6963	  by Nicholas Marriott).
6964
696520091128
6966	+ modify mk-1st.awk to allow tinfo library to be built when term-driver
6967	  is enabled.
6968	+ add error-check to configure script to ensure that sp-funcs is
6969	  enabled if term-driver is, since some internal interfaces rely upon
6970	  this.
6971
697220091121
6973	+ fix case where progs/tput is used while sp-funcs is configure; this
6974	  requires save/restore of out-character function from _nc_prescreen
6975	  rather than the SCREEN structure (report by Charles Wilson).
6976	+ fix typo in man/curs_trace.3x which caused incorrect symbolic links
6977	+ improved configure macros CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_PROG_LINT.
6978
697920091114
6980	+ updated man/curs_trace.3x
6981	+ limit hashing for termcap-names to 2-characters (Ubuntu #481740).
6982	+ change a variable name in lib_newwin.c to make it clearer which
6983	  value is being freed on error (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
6984
698520091107
6986	+ improve test/ncurses.c color-cycling test by reusing attribute-
6987	  and color-cycling logic from the video-attributes screen.
6988	+ add ifdef'd with NCURSES_INTEROP_FUNCS experimental bindings in form
6989	  library which help make it compatible with interop applications
6990	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6991	+ add configure option --enable-interop, for integrating changes
6992	  for generic/interop support to form-library by Juergen Pfeifer
6993
699420091031
6995	+ modify use of $CC environment variable which is defined by X/Open
6996	  as a curses feature, to ignore it if it is not a single character
6997	  (prompted by discussion with Benjamin C W Sittler).
6998	+ add START_TRACE in slk_init
6999	+ fix a regression in _nc_ripoffline which made test/ncurses.c not show
7000	  soft-keys, broken in 20090927 merging.
7001	+ change initialization of "hidden" flag for soft-keys from true to
7002	  false, broken in 20090704 merging (Ubuntu #464274).
7003	+ update nsterm entries (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler, prompted by
7004	  discussion with Fabian Groffen in GenToo #206201).
7005	+ add test/xterm-256color.dat
7006
700720091024
7008	+ quiet some pedantic gcc warnings.
7009	+ modify _nc_wgetch() to check for a -1 in the fifo, e.g., after a
7010	  SIGWINCH, and discard that value, to avoid confusing application
7011	  (patch by Eygene Ryabinkin, FreeBSD #136223).
7012
701320091017
7014	+ modify handling of $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to use only the first item in
7015	  a possibly colon-separated list (Debian #550716).
7016
701720091010
7018	+ supply a null-terminator to buffer in _nc_viswibuf().
7019	+ fix a sign-extension bug in unget_wch() (report by Mike Gran).
7020	+ minor fixes to error-returns in default function for tputs, as well
7021	  as in lib_screen.c
7022
702320091003
7024	+ add WACS_xxx definitions to wide-character configuration for thick-
7025	  and double-lines (discussion with Slava Zanko).
7026	+ remove unnecessary kcan assignment to ^C from putty (Sven Joachim)
7027	+ add ccc and initc capabilities to xterm-16color -TD
7028	> patch by Benjamin C W Sittler:
7029	+ add linux-16color
7030	+ correct initc capability of linux-c-nc end-of-range
7031	+ similar change for dg+ccc and dgunix+ccc
7032
703320090927
7034	+ move leak-checking for comp_captab.c into _nc_leaks_tinfo() since
7035	  that module since 20090711 is in libtinfo.
7036	+ add configure option --enable-term-driver, to allow compiling with
7037	  terminal-driver.  That is used in MinGW port, and (being somewhat
7038	  more complicated) is an experimental alternative to the conventional
7039	  termlib internals.  Currently, it requires the sp-funcs feature to
7040	  be enabled.
7041	+ completed integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer in ncurses
7042	  library (some work remains for forms library).
7043
704420090919
7045	+ document return code from define_key (report by Mike Gran).
7046	+ make some symbolic links in the terminfo directory-tree shorter
7047	  (patch by Daniel Jacobowitz, forwarded by Sven Joachim).).
7048	+ fix some groff warnings in terminfo.5, etc., from recent Debian
7049	  changes.
7050	+ change ncv and op capabilities in sun-color terminfo entry to match
7051	  Sun's entry for this (report by Laszlo Peter).
7052	+ improve interix smso terminfo capability by using reverse rather than
7053	  bold (report by Kristof Zelechovski).
7054
705520090912
7056	+ add some test programs (and make these use the same special keys
7057	  by sharing linedata.h functions):
7058	  test/test_addstr.c
7059	  test/test_addwstr.c
7060	  test/test_addchstr.c
7061	  test/test_add_wchstr.c
7062	+ correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when
7063	  inserting wide characters, since the wins_wch() function that it used
7064	  did not update the cursor position (report by Ciprian Craciun).
7065
706620090906
7067	+ fix typo s/is_timeout/is_notimeout/ which made "man is_notimeout" not
7068	  work.
7069	+ add null-pointer checks to other opaque-functions.
7070	+ add is_pad() and is_subwin() functions for opaque access to WINDOW
7071	  (discussion with Mark Dickinson).
7072	+ correct merge to lib_newterm.c, which broke when sp-funcs was
7073	  enabled.
7074

7088
708920090815
7090	+ correct use of terminfo capabilities for initializing soft-keys,
7091	  broken in 20090510 merging.
7092	+ modify wgetch() to ensure it checks SIGWINCH when it gets an error
7093	  in non-blocking mode (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
7094	+ use PATH_SEPARATOR symbol when substituting into run_tic.sh, to
7095	  help with builds on non-Unix platforms such as OS/2 EMX.
7096	+ modify scripting for misc/run_tic.sh to test configure script's
7097	  $cross_compiling variable directly rather than comparing host/build
7098	  compiler names (prompted by comment in GenToo #249363).
7099	+ fix configure script option --with-database, which was coded as an
7100	  enable-type switch.
7101	+ build-fixes for --srcdir (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
7102
710320090808

7106
710720090803
7108	+ add tabs.1 to man/man_db.renames
7109	+ modify lib_addch.c to compensate for removal of wide-character test
7110	  from unctrl() in 20090704 (Debian #539735).

7122	  string capabilities as numeric (report by Rajeev V Pillai,
7123	  cf: 20090711).
7124

7130	  20090704 changes.
7131	+ modify _nc_find_type_entry() to use hashing.
7132	+ make CCHARW_MAX value configurable, noting that changing this would
7133	  change the size of cchar_t, and would be ABI-incompatible.
7134	+ modify test-programs, e.g,.  test/view.c, to address subtle
7135	  differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX getcchar() return
7136	  values.

7155	  option.
7156	+ add several new files from Juergen Pfeifer which will be used when

7159
716020090613
7161	+ move definition for NCURSES_WRAPPED_VAR back to ncurses_dll.h, to

7208
720920090404
7210	+ suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on

7212
721320090328
7214	+ extend ansi.sys pfkey capability from kf1-kf10 to kf1-kf48, moving
7215	  function key definitions from emx-base for consistency -TD
7216	+ correct missing final 'p' in pfkey capability of ansi.sys-old (report
7217	  by Kalle Olavi Niemitalo).
7218	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'F' test, show combining characters in color.
7219	+ quiet a false report by cppcheck in c++/cursesw.cc by eliminating
7220	  a temporary variable.
7221	+ use _nc_doalloc() rather than realloc() in a few places in ncurses
7222	  library to avoid leak in out-of-memory condition (reports by William
7223	  Egert and Martin Ettl based on cppcheck tool).
7224	+ add --with-ncurses-wrap-prefix option to test/configure (discussion
7225	  with Charles Wilson).
7226	+ use ncurses*-config scripts if available for test/configure.
7227	+ update test/aclocal.m4 and test/configure
7228	> patches by Charles Wilson:
7229	+ modify CF_WITH_LIBTOOL configure check to allow unreleased libtool
7230	  version numbers (e.g.  which include alphabetic chars, as well as
7231	  digits, after the final '.').
7232	+ improve use of -no-undefined option for libtool by setting an
7233	  intermediate variable LT_UNDEF in the configure script, and then
7234	  using that in the libtool link-commands.
7235	+ fix an missing use of NCURSES_PUBLIC_VAR() in tinfo/MKcodes.awk
7236	  from 20090321 changes.
7237	+ improve mk-1st.awk script by writing separate cases for the
7238	  LIBTOOL_LINK command, depending on which library (ncurses, ticlib,
7239	  termlib) is to be linked.
7240	+ modify configure.in to allow broken-linker configurations, not just
7241	  enable-reentrant, to set public wrap prefix.
7242
724320090321
7244	+ add TICS_LIST and SHLIB_LIST to allow libtool 2.2.6 on Cygwin to
7245	  build with tic and term libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).
7246	+ add -no-undefined option to libtool for Cygwin, MinGW, U/Win and AIX
7247	  (report by Charles Wilson).
7248	+ fix definition for c++/Makefile.in's SHLIB_LIST, which did not list
7249	  the form, menu or panel libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).
7250	+ add configure option --with-wrap-prefix to allow setting the prefix
7251	  for functions used to wrap global variables to something other than
7252	  "_nc_" (discussion with Charles Wilson).
7253
725420090314
7255	+ modify scripts to generate ncurses*-config and pc-files to add
7256	  dependency for tinfo library (patch by Charles Wilson).
7257	+ improve comparison of program-names when checking for linked flavors
7258	  such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix (reports by Charles
7259	  Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing
7260	  list).
7261	+ suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on
7262	  Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static libc, and
7263	  does not switch back to dynamic mode before finishing the libraries
7264	  (reports by Joel Bertrand, Alan Pae).
7265	+ minor fixes to Intel compiler warning checks in configure script.
7266	+ modify _nc_leaks_tinfo() so leak-checking in test/railroad.c works.
7267	+ modify set_curterm() to make broken-linker configuration work with
7268	  changes from 20090228 (report by Charles Wilson).
7269
727020090228
7271	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
7272	+ modify declaration of cur_term when broken-linker is used, but
7273	  enable-reentrant is not, to match pre-5.7 (report by Charles Wilson).
7274
727520090221
7276	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
7277
727820090214
7279	+ add configure script --enable-sp-funcs to enable the new set of
7280	  extended functions.
7281	+ start integrating patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
7282	  + add extended functions which specify the SCREEN pointer for several
7283	    curses functions which use the global SP (these are incomplete;
7284	    some internals work is needed to complete these).
7285	  + add special cases to configure script for MinGW port.
7286
728720090207
7288	+ update several configure macros from lynx changes
7289	  + append (not prepend) to CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS
7290	  + change variable from PATHSEP to PATH_SEPARATOR
7291	+ improve install-rules for pc-files (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
7292	  + make it work with $DESTDIR
7293	  + create the pkg-config library directory if needed.
7294
729520090124
7296	+ modify init_pair() to allow caller to create extra color pairs beyond
7297	  the color_pairs limit, which use default colors (request by Emanuele
7298	  Giaquinta).
7299	+ add misc/terminfo.tmp and misc/*.pc to "sources" rule.
7300	+ fix typo "==" where "=" is needed in ncurses-config.in and
7301	  gen-pkgconfig.in files (Debian #512161).
7302
730320090117
7304	+ add -shared option to MK_SHARED_LIB when -Bsharable is used, for
7305	  *BSD's, without which "main" might be one of the shared library's
7306	  dependencies (report/analysis by Ken Dickey).
7307	+ modify waddch_literal(), updating line-pointer after a multicolumn
7308	  character is found to not fit on the current row, and wrapping is
7309	  done.  Since the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped
7310	  multicolumn character was written to the beginning of the current row
7311	  (cf: 20041023, reported by "Nick" regarding problem with ncmpc
7312	  http://musicpd.org/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1930).
7313
731420090110
7315	+ add screen.Eterm terminfo entry (GenToo #124887) -TD
7316	+ modify adacurses-config to look for ".ali" files in the adalib
7317	  directory.
7318	+ correct install for Ada95, which omitted libAdaCurses.a used in
7319	  adacurses-config
7320	+ change install for adacurses-config to provide additional flavors
7321	  such as adacursesw-config, for ncursesw (GenToo #167849).
7322
732320090105
7324	+ remove undeveloped feature in ncurses-config.in for setting
7325	  prefix variable.
7326	+ recent change to ncurses-config.in did not take into account the
7327	  --disable-overwrite option, which sets $includedir to the
7328	  subdirectory and using just that for a -I option does not work - fix
7329	  (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
7330
733120090104
7332	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to eliminate a dependency on rpath when
7333	  deciding whether to add $LIBS to --libs output; that should be shown
7334	  for the ncurses and tinfo libraries without taking rpath into
7335	  account.
7336	+ fix an overlooked change from $AR_OPTS to $ARFLAGS in mk-1st.awk,
7337	  used in static libraries (report by Marty Jack).
7338
733920090103
7340	+ add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
7341	  CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris (report by Dagobert Michelsen).
7342	+ add configure --with-pkg-config and --enable-pc-files options, along
7343	  with misc/gen-pkgconfig.in which can be used to generate ".pc" files
7344	  for pkg-config (request by Jan Engelhardt).
7345	+ use $includedir symbol in misc/ncurses-config.in, add --includedir
7346	  option.
7347	+ change makefiles to use $ARFLAGS rather than $AR_OPTS, provide a
7348	  configure check to detect whether a "-" is needed before "ar"
7349	  options.
7350	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
7351		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
7352
735320081227
7354	+ modify mk-1st.awk to work with extra categories for tinfo library.
7355	+ modify configure script to allow building shared libraries with gcc
7356	  on AIX 5 or 6 (adapted from patch by Lital Natan).
7357
735820081220
7359	+ modify to omit the opaque-functions from lib_gen.o when
7360	  --disable-ext-funcs is used.
7361	+ add test/clip_printw.c to illustrate how to use printw without
7362	  wrapping.
7363	+ modify ncurses 'F' test to demo wborder_set() with colored lines.
7364	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder() with colored lines.
7365
736620081213
7367	+ add check for failure to open hashed-database needed for db4.6
7368	  (GenToo #245370).
7369	+ corrected --without-manpages option; previous change only suppressed
7370	  the auxiliary rules install.man and uninstall.man
7371	+ add case for FreeMINT to configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE (patch from
7372	  GenToo #250454).
7373	+ fixes from NetBSD port at
7374	  http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/patches
7375	  patch-ac (build-fix for DragonFly)
7376	  patch-ae (use INSTALL_SCRIPT for installing misc/ncurses*-config).
7377	+ improve configure script macros CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_LIBRARY_PATH
7378	  by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS values to the
7379	  search-lists.
7380	+ correct title string for keybound manpage (patch by Frederic Culot,
7381	  OpenBSD documentation/6019),
7382
738320081206
7384	+ move del_curterm() call from _nc_freeall() to _nc_leaks_tinfo() to
7385	  work for progs/clear, progs/tabs, etc.
7386	+ correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character
7387	  set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran).
7388	+ add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather
7389	  than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that
7390	  ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue
7391	  was xterm's alternate screen feature).
7392	+ add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a
7393	  zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717,
7394	  adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault).
7395
739620081129
7397	+ improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control
7398	  character is found.  The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to
7399	  obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not
7400	  passing color or video attributes.
7401	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl() more consistently to
7402	  display meta-characters.
7403	+ turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h
7404	+ add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD
7405	+ correct use of key_name() in test/ncurses.c 'A' test, which only
7406	  displays wide-characters, not key-codes since 20070612 (report by
7407	  Ricardo Cantu).
7408
740920081122
7410	+ change _nc_has_mouse() to has_mouse(), reflect its use in C++ and
7411	  Ada95 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
7412	+ document in TO-DO an issue with Cygwin's package for GNAT (report
7413	  by Mike Dennison).
7414	+ improve error-checking of command-line options in "tabs" program.
7415
741620081115
7417	+ change several terminfo entries to make consistent use of ANSI
7418	  clear-all-tabs -TD
7419	+ add "tabs" program (prompted by Debian #502260).
7420	+ add configure --without-manpages option (request by Mike Frysinger).
7421
742220081102 5.7 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
7423
742420081025
7425	+ add a manpage to discuss memory leaks.
7426	+ add support for shared libraries for QNX (other than libtool, which
7427	  does not work well on that platform).
7428	+ build-fix for QNX C++ binding.
7429
743020081018
7431	+ build-fixes for OS/2 EMX.
7432	+ modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
7433	  in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris (report by
7434	  Nit Khair).
7435	+ modify configure script to assume --without-hashed-db when
7436	  --disable-database is used.
7437	+ add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating source-files
7438	  to force earlier exit if the build environment fails unexpectedly
7439	  (prompted by patch by Adrian Bunk).
7440	+ change configure script to use CF_UTF8_LIB, improved variant of
7441	  CF_LIBUTF8.
7442
744320081012
7444	+ add teraterm4.59 terminfo entry, use that as primary teraterm entry, rename
7445	  original to teraterm2.3 -TD
7446	+ update "gnome" terminfo to 2.22.3 -TD
7447	+ update "konsole" terminfo to 1.6.6, needs today's fix for tic -TD
7448	+ add "aterm" terminfo -TD
7449	+ add "linux2.6.26" terminfo -TD
7450	+ add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined capabilities,
7451	  overlooked til now.
7452
745320081011
7454	+ regenerated html documentation.
7455	+ add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
7456	  the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
7457	+ correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
7458	+ document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
7459	+ fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
7460	+ add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
7461	  tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
7462	  20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
7463
746420081004
7465	+ some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
7466	  works for C/C++ parts).
7467	+ improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
7468	  AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
7469
747020080927
7471	+ fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
7472	  strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
7473	+ fix build for --disable-sigwinch
7474	+ add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
7475	  GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
7476	+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
7477	  "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
7478	  that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
7479	+ reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
7480	  Miroslav Lichvar).
7481	+ fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
7482	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7483	+ use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.
7484	+ discard internal symbol _nc_slk_format (unused since 20080112).
7485	+ move call of slk_paint_info() from _nc_slk_initialize() to
7486	  slk_intern_refresh(), improving initialization.
7487

7506	  Meunier).
7507
750820080906
7509	+ corrected gcc options for building shared libraries on IRIX64.
7510	+ add configure check for awk programs unable to handle big-strings,
7511	  use that to improve the default for --enable-big-strings option.
7512	+ makefile-fixes for --enable-weak-symbols (report by Frederic L W
7513	  Meunier).
7514	+ update test/configure script.
7515	+ adapt ifdef's from library to make test/view.c build when mbrtowc()
7516	  is unavailable, e.g., with HPUX 10.20.
7517	+ add configure check for wcsrtombs, mbsrtowcs, which are used in
7518	  test/ncurses.c, and use wcstombs, mbstowcs instead if available,
7519	  fixing build of ncursew for HPUX 11.00
7520
752120080830
7522	+ fixes to make Ada95 demo_panels() example work.
7523	+ modify Ada95 'rain' test program to accept keyboard commands like the
7524	  C-version.
7525	+ modify BeOS-specific ifdef's to build on Haiku (patch by Scott
7526	  Mccreary).
7527	+ add configure-check to see if the std namespace is legal for cerr
7528	  and endl, to fix a build issue with Tru64.
7529	+ consistently use NCURSES_BOOL in lib_gen.c
7530	+ filter #line's from lib_gen.c
7531	+ change delimiter in MKlib_gen.sh from '%' to '@', to avoid
7532	  substitution by IBM xlc to '#' as part of its extensions to digraphs.
7533	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
7534		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
7535	  (caveat - its maintainer removed support for older Linux systems).
7536
753720080823
7538	+ modify configure check for pthread library to work with OSF/1 5.1,
7539	  which uses #define's to associate its header and library.
7540	+ use pthread_mutexattr_init() for initializing pthread_mutexattr_t,
7541	  makes threaded code work on HPUX 11.23
7542	+ fix a bug in demo_menus in freeing menus (cf: 20080804).
7543	+ modify configure script for the case where tic library is used (and
7544	  possibly renamed) to remove its dependency upon ncurses/ncursew
7545	  library (patch by Dr Werner Fink).
7546	+ correct manpage for menu_fore() which gave wrong default for
7547	  the attribute used to display a selected entry (report by Mike Gran).
7548	+ add Eterm-256color, Eterm-88color and rxvt-88color (prompted by
7549	  Debian #495815) -TD
7550
755120080816
7552	+ add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
7553	+ add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
7554	+ modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
7555	  applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
7556	  etc.  This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
7557	  Werner Fink).
7558	+ add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
7559	  using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
7560	+ document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted

7567	+ fix most warnings from Klocwork tool (report by Larry Zhou).
7568	+ modify configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to add case for
7569	  "dragonfly" from xterm #236 changes.
7570	+ modify configure script --with-hashed-db to let $LIBS override the
7571	  search for the db library (prompted by report by Samson Pierre).
7572
757320080726
7574	+ build-fixes for gcc 4.3.1 (changes to gnat "warnings", and C inlining
7575	  thresholds).
7576
757720080713
7578	+ build-fix (reports by Christian Ebert, Funda Wang).
7579
758020080712
7581	+ compiler-warning fixes for Solaris.
7582
758320080705
7584	+ use NCURSES_MOUSE_MASK() in definition of BUTTON_RELEASE(), etc., to
7585	  make those work properly with the "--enable-ext-mouse" configuration
7586	  (cf: 20050205).
7587	+ improve documentation of build-cc options in INSTALL.
7588	+ work-around a bug in gcc 4.2.4 on AIX, which does not pass the
7589	  -static/-dynamic flags properly to linker, causing test/bs to
7590	  not link.
7591
759220080628
7593	+ correct some ifdef's needed for the broken-linker configuration.
7594	+ make debugging library's $BAUDRATE feature work for termcap
7595	  interface.
7596	+ make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface (prompted
7597	  by comment on FreeBSD mailing list).
7598	+ add screen.mlterm terminfo entry -TD
7599	+ improve mlterm and mlterm+pcfkeys terminfo entries -TD
7600
760120080621
7602	+ regenerated html documentation.
7603	+ expand manpage description of parameters for form_driver() and
7604	  menu_driver() (prompted by discussion with Adam Spragg).
7605	+ add null-pointer checks for cur_term in baudrate() and
7606	  def_shell_mode(), def_prog_mode()
7607	+ fix some memory leaks in delscreen() and wide acs.
7608
760920080614
7610	+ modify test/ditto.c to illustrate multi-threaded use_screen().
7611	+ change CC_SHARED_OPTS from -KPIC to -xcode=pic32 for Solaris.
7612	+ add "-shared" option to MK_SHARED_LIB for gcc on Solaris (report
7613	  by Poor Yorick).
7614
761520080607
7616	+ finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the
7617	  window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr().  That
7618	  allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with
7619	  some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a
7620	  window which is being used in a wgetch().
7621	+ simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
7622
762320080531
7624	+ modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
7625	  parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
7626	  use SP internally.
7627	+ factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
7628	+ add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a
7629	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
7630	+ add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a
7631	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
7632	+ add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate
7633	  its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN.
7634	+ add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in
7635	  preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer.
7636
763720080524
7638	+ modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
7639	  screen which must be updated.
7640	+ wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and
7641	  always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm().
7642	+ restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch
7643	  Miroslav Lichvar)
7644
764520080517
7646	+ modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and
7647	  --enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from
7648	  the ncurses ABI 5.
7649	+ corrected manpage description of setcchar() (discussion with
7650	  Emanuele Giaquinta).
7651	+ fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line
7652	  (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
7653
765420080503
7655	+ modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix
7656	  overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD
7657	+ modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the
7658	  global SP.
7659	+ simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and
7660	  each_ripoff().
7661
766220080426
7663	+ continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate
7664	  multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens.
7665	+ fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran).
7666
766720080419
7668	+ add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD
7669	+ modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from
7670	  being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings.
7671	+ improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout.
7672
767320080412
7674	+ change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm.
7675	+ add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their
7676	  window parameters.
7677	+ add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN
7678	  pointer.
7679	+ finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.
7680
768120080405
7682	+ begin table in curs_thread.3x manpage describing the scope of data
7683	  used by each function (or symbol) for threading analysis.
7684	+ add null-pointer checks to setsyx() and getsyx() (prompted by
7685	  discussion by Martin v. Lowis and Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on
7686	  python-dev2 mailing list).
7687
768820080329
7689	+ add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen().
7690	+ move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which
7691	  are not associated with a particular screen.
7692	+ change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than
7693	  stdscr to the callback function.
7694	+ force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this,
7695	  e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc
7696	  (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
7697	+ override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on
7698	  platforms such as AIX where libtool may use a different suffix for
7699	  the object files than ".o" (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
7700	+ add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX
7701	  thread library.
7702
770320080322
7704	+ fill in extended-color pair two more places in wbkgrndset() and
7705	  waddch_nosync() (prompted by Sedeno's patch).
7706	+ fill in extended-color pair in _nc_build_wch() to make colors work
7707	  for wide-characters using extended-colors (patch by Alejandro R
7708	  Sedeno).
7709	+ add x/X toggles to ncurses.c C color test to test/demo
7710	  wide-characters with extended-colors.
7711	+ add a/A toggles to ncurses.c c/C color tests.
7712	+ modify test/ditto.c to use use_screen().
7713	+ finish modifying test/rain.c to demonstrate threads.
7714
771520080308
7716	+ start modifying test/rain.c for threading demo.
7717	+ modify test/ncurses.c to make 'f' test accept the f/F/b/F/</> toggles
7718	  that the 'F' accepts.
7719	+ modify test/worm.c to show trail in reverse-video when other threads
7720	  are working concurrently.
7721	+ fix a deadlock from improper nesting of mutexes for windowlist and
7722	  window.
7723
772420080301
7725	+ fixes from 20080223 resolved issue with mutexes; change to use
7726	  recursive mutexes to fix memory leak in delwin() as called from
7727	  _nc_free_and_exit().
7728
772920080223
7730	+ fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex
7731	  lock/unlock when termlib was built separately.
7732
773320080216
7734	+ avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often
7735	  is implemented to suspend the entire process.
7736
773720080209
7738	+ update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for
7739	  comparisons.  This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open Curses
7740	  that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping.  None of the Unix-branded
7741	  implementations do this, as noted in manpage (cf: 20040228).
7742
774320080203
7744	+ modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same
7745	  for both narrow/wide models.  It had been set only for wide model,
7746	  but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model.
7747	+ improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by
7748	  using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append
7749	  further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A
7750	  Chernov).
7751	+ modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint().
7752	  If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
7753	  sequence.
7754
775520080126
7756	+ improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE
7757	  handling).  Now it hangs in napms(), no matter whether nanosleep()
7758	  or poll() or select() are used on Linux.
7759
776020080119
7761	+ fixes to build with --disable-ext-funcs
7762	+ add manpage for use_window and use_screen.
7763	+ add set_tabsize() and set_escdelay() functions.
7764
776520080112
7766	+ remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c
7767	+ remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's
7768	  adjust_window() which caused occasional misadjustment of stdscr when
7769	  softkeys were used.
7770
777120080105
7772	+ several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD
7773	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the
7774	  "link_test" builds properly.
7775	+ fix for toe command-line options -u/-U to ensure filename is given.
7776	+ fix allocation-size for command-line parsing in infocmp from 20070728
7777	  (report by Miroslav Lichvar)
7778	+ improve resizeterm() by moving ripped-off lines, and repainting the
7779	  soft-keys (report by Katarina Machalkova)
7780	+ add clarification in wclear's manpage noting that the screen will be
7781	  cleared even if a subwindow is cleared (prompted by Christer Enfors
7782	  question).
7783	+ change test/ncurses.c soft-key tests to work with KEY_RESIZE.
7784
778520071222
7786	+ continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
7787	  for delwin().
7788
778920071215
7790	+ add several functions to C++ binding which wrap C functions that
7791	  pass a WINDOW* parameter (request by Chris Lee).
7792
779320071201
7794	+ add note about configure options needed for Berkeley database to the
7795	  INSTALL file.
7796	+ improve checks for version of Berkeley database libraries.
7797	+ amend fix for rpath to not modify LDFLAGS if the platform has no
7798	  applicable transformation (report by Christian Ebert, cf: 20071124).
7799
780020071124
7801	+ modify configure option --with-hashed-db to accept a parameter which
7802	  is the install-prefix of a given Berkeley Database (prompted by
7803	  pierre4d2 comments).
7804	+ rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb(), making it work on Solaris.  This is
7805	  used in the form library to determine the length of the buffer needed
7806	  by field_buffer (report by Alfred Fung).
7807	+ remove unneeded window-parameter from C++ binding for wresize (report
7808	  by Chris Lee).
7809
781020071117
7811	+ modify the support for filesystems which do not support mixed-case to
7812	  generate 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the lower-level of the
7813	  filesystem terminfo database (request by Michail Vidiassov).
7814	+ add configure option --enable-mixed-case, to allow overriding the
7815	  configure script's check if the filesystem supports mixed-case
7816	  filenames.
7817	+ add wresize() to C++ binding (request by Chris Lee).
7818	+ define NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS and NCURSES_EXT_COLORS in curses.h to make
7819	  it simpler to tell if the extended functions and/or colors are
7820	  declared.
7821
782220071103
7823	+ update memory-leak checks for changes to names.c and codes.c
7824	+ correct acsc strings in h19, z100 (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler).
7825
782620071020
7827	+ continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
7828	  for use_window().
7829	+ add mrxvt terminfo entry, add/fix xterm building blocks for modified
7830	  cursor keys -TD
7831	+ compile with FreeBSD "contemporary" TTY interface (patch by
7832	  Rong-En Fan).
7833
783420071013
7835	+ modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built
7836	  without libtic.  The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
7837	  that library.
7838	+ add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
7839	  the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).
7840	+ fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat #310071,
7841	  patches by Miroslav Lichvar).
7842	+ improve performance of NCURSES_CHAR_EQ code (patch by Miroslav
7843	  Lichvar).
7844	+ update/improve mlterm and rxvt terminfo entries, e.g., for
7845	  the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
7846
784720071006
7848	+ add code to curses.priv.h ifdef'd with NCURSES_CHAR_EQ, which
7849	  changes the CharEq() macro to an inline function to allow comparing
7850	  cchar_t struct's without comparing gaps in a possibly unpacked
7851	  memory layout (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
7852
785320070929
7854	+ add new functions to lib_trace.c to setup mutex's for the _tracef()
7855	  calls within the ncurses library.
7856	+ for the reentrant model, move _nc_tputs_trace and _nc_outchars into
7857	  the SCREEN.
7858	+ start modifying test/worm.c to provide threading demo (incomplete).
7859	+ separated ifdef's for some BSD-related symbols in tset.c, to make
7860	  it compile on LynxOS (report by Greg Gemmer).
786120070915
7862	+ modify Ada95/gen/Makefile to use shlib script, to simplify building
7863	  shared-library configuration on platforms lacking rpath support.
7864	+ build-fix for Ada95/src/Makefile to reflect changed dependency for
7865	  the terminal-interface-curses-aux.adb file which is now generated.
7866	+ restructuring test/worm.c, for use_window() example.
7867
786820070908
7869	+ add use_window() and use_screen() functions, to develop into support
7870	  for threaded library (incomplete).
7871	+ fix typos in man/curs_opaque.3x which kept the install script from
7872	  creating symbolic links to two aliases created in 20070818 (report by
7873	  Rong-En Fan).
7874
787520070901
7876	+ remove a spurious newline from output of html.m4, which caused links
7877	  for Ada95 html to be incorrect for the files generated using m4.
7878	+ start investigating mutex's for SCREEN manipulation (incomplete).
7879	+ minor cleanup of codes.c/names.c for --enable-const
7880	+ expand/revise "Routine and Argument Names" section of ncurses manpage
7881	  to address report by David Givens in newsgroup discussion.
7882	+ fix interaction between --without-progs/--with-termcap configure
7883	  options (report by Michail Vidiassov).
7884	+ fix typo in "--disable-relink" option (report by Michail Vidiassov).
7885
788620070825
7887	+ fix a sign-extension bug in infocmp's repair_acsc() function
7888	  (cf: 971004).
7889	+ fix old configure script bug which prevented "--disable-warnings"
7890	  option from working (patch by Mike Frysinger).
7891
789220070818
7893	+ add 9term terminal description (request by Juhapekka Tolvanen) -TD
7894	+ modify comp_hash.c's string output to avoid misinterpreting a null
7895	  "\0" followed by a digit.
7896	+ modify MKnames.awk and MKcodes.awk to support big-strings.
7897	  This only applies to the cases (broken linker, reentrant) where
7898	  the corresponding arrays are accessed via wrapper functions.
7899	+ split MKnames.awk into two scripts, eliminating the shell redirection
7900	  which complicated the make process and also the bogus timestamp file
7901	  which was introduced to fix "make -j".
7902	+ add test/test_opaque.c, test/test_arrays.c
7903	+ add wgetscrreg() and wgetparent() for applications that may need it
7904	  when NCURSES_OPAQUE is defined (prompted by Bryan Christ).
7905
790620070812
7907	+ amend treatment of infocmp "-r" option to retain the 1023-byte limit
7908	  unless "-T" is given (cf: 981017).

7912	  library.
7913	+ modify configure script to skip Intel compiler in CF_C_INLINE.
7914	+ make _nc_info_hash_table and _nc_cap_hash_table private accessed via

7916	  library.
7917
791820070728
7919	+ make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private, accessed via

7921	+ make _nc_key_names private since it is used only by lib_keyname.c
7922	+ add --disable-big-strings configure option to control whether
7923	  unctrl.c is generated using the big-string optimization - which may
7924	  use strings longer than supported by a given compiler.
7925	+ reduce relocation tables for tic, infocmp by changing type of
7926	  internal hash tables to short, and make those private symbols.
7927	+ eliminate large fixed arrays from progs/infocmp.c
7928
792920070721
7930	+ change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line (cf: 970315).

7939	  (Debian #433357, reported by Florent Bayle, Christian Ohm,
7940	  cf: 20070310).
7941
794220070714

795520070707
7956	+ add continuous-move "M" to demo_panels to help test refresh changes.

7968	+ add setlocale() call to demo_panels.c, needed for wide-characters.
7969	+ add some output flags to _nc_trace_ttymode to help diagnose a bug
7970	  report by Larry Virden, i.e., ONLCR, OCRNL, ONOCR and ONLRET,
7971
797220070623
7973	+ add test/demo_panels.c

7981
798220070609
7983	+ add test/key_name.c
7984	+ add stdscr cases to test/inchs.c and test/inch_wide.c

7998	  is overwritten by chgat (report by Aleksi Torhamo).
7999	+ correct buffer-size for _nc_viswbuf2n() (report by Aleksi Torhamo).
8000	+ build-fixes for Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 (patch by Peter O'Gorman).
8001
800220070526
8003	+ modify keyname() to use "^X" form only if meta() has been called, or
8004	  if keyname() is called without initializing curses, e.g., via
8005	  initscr() or newterm() (prompted by LinuxBase #1604).
8006	+ document some portability issues in man/curs_util.3x
8007	+ add a shadow copy of TTY buffer to _nc_prescreen to fix applications
8008	  broken by moving that data into SCREEN (cf: 20061230).
8009
801020070512
8011	+ add 'O' (wide-character panel test) in ncurses.c to demonstrate a
8012	  problem reported by Sadrul H Chowdhury with repainting parts of
8013	  a fullwidth cell.
8014	+ modify slk_init() so that if there are preceding calls to
8015	  ripoffline(), those affect the available lines for soft-keys (adapted
8016	  from patch by Clive Nicolson).
8017	+ document some portability issues in man/curs_getyx.3x
8018
801920070505
8020	+ fix a bug in Ada95/samples/ncurses which caused a variable to
8021	  become uninitialized in the "b" test.
8022	+ fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in adahtml rule to account for recent
8023	  movement of files, fix a few incorrect manpage references in the
8024	  generated html.
8025	+ add Ada95 binding to _nc_freeall() as Curses_Free_All to help with
8026	  memory-checking.
8027	+ correct some functions in Ada95 binding which were using return value
8028	  from C where none was returned:  idcok(), immedok() and wtimeout().
8029	+ amend recent changes for Ada95 binding to make it build with
8030	  Cygwin's linker, e.g., with configure options
8031		--enable-broken-linker --with-ticlib
8032
803320070428
8034	+ add a configure check for gcc's options for inlining, use that to
8035	  quiet a warning message where gcc's default behavior changed from
8036	  3.x to 4.x.
8037	+ improve warning message when checking if GPM is linked to curses
8038	  library by not warning if its use of "wgetch" is via a weak symbol.
8039	+ add loader options when building with static libraries to ensure that
8040	  an installed shared library for ncurses does not conflict.  This is
8041	  reported as problem with Tru64, but could affect other platforms
8042	  (report Martin Mokrejs, analysis by Tim Mooney).
8043	+ fix build on cygwin after recent ticlib/termlib changes, i.e.,
8044	  + adjust TINFO_SUFFIX value to work with cygwin's dll naming
8045	  + revert a change from 20070303 which commented out dependency of
8046	    SHLIB_LIST in form/menu/panel/c++ libraries.
8047	+ fix initialization of ripoff stack pointer (cf: 20070421).
8048
804920070421
8050	+ move most static variables into structures _nc_globals and
8051	  _nc_prescreen, to simplify storage.
8052	+ add/use configure script macro CF_SIG_ATOMIC_T, use the corresponding
8053	  type for data manipulated by signal handlers (prompted by comments
8054	  in mailing.openbsd.bugs newsgroup).
8055	+ modify CF_WITH_LIBTOOL to allow one to pass options such as -static
8056	  to the libtool create- and link-operations.
8057
805820070414
8059	+ fix whitespace in curs_opaque.3x which caused a spurious ';' in
8060	  the installed aliases (report by Peter Santoro).
8061	+ fix configure script to not try to generate adacurses-config when
8062	  Ada95 tree is not built.
8063
806420070407
8065	+ add man/curs_legacy.3x, man/curs_opaque.3x
8066	+ fix acs_map binding for Ada95 when --enable-reentrant is used.
8067	+ add adacurses-config to the Ada95 install, based on version from
8068	  FreeBSD port, in turn by Juergen Pfeifer in 2000 (prompted by
8069	  comment on comp.lang.ada newsgroup).
8070	+ fix includes in c++ binding to build with Intel compiler
8071	  (cf: 20061209).
8072	+ update install rule in Ada95 to use mkdirs.sh
8073	> other fixes prompted by inspection for Coverity report:
8074	+ modify ifdef's for c++ binding to use try/catch/throw statements

8081	+ remove dead code in test/demo_defkey.c
8082	+ remove an unused assignment in progs/infocmp.c
8083	+ fix a limit check in tack/ansi.c tools_charset()
8084	+ fix tack/ansi.c tools_status() to perform the VT320/VT420
8085	  tests in request_cfss().  The function had exited too soon.

8087	+ fix a couple of places in tack/output.c which did not check for EOF.
8088	+ fix a loop-condition in test/bs.c

8092	+ fix a possible null-pointer dereference in copywin()
8093	+ fix a possible null-pointer dereference in waddchnstr()

8099	+ fix a double-free in ncurses/base/wresize.c
8100	+ add try/catch block to c++/cursesmain.cc
8101
810220070331
8103	+ modify Ada95 binding to build with --enable-reentrant by wrapping
8104	  global variables (bug: acs_map does not yet work).
8105	+ modify Ada95 binding to use the new access-functions, allowing it
8106	  to build/run when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
8107	+ add access-functions and macros to return properties of the WINDOW
8108	  structure, e.g., when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
8109	+ improved install-sh's quoting.
8110	+ use mkdirs.sh rather than mkinstalldirs, e.g., to use fixes from
8111	  other programs.
8112
811320070324
8114	+ eliminate part of the direct use of WINDOW data from Ada95 interface.
8115	+ fix substitutions for termlib filename to make configure option
8116	  --enable-reentrant work with --with-termlib.
8117	+ change a constructor for NCursesWindow to allow compiling with
8118	  NCURSES_OPAQUE set, since we cannot pass a reference to
8119	  an opaque pointer.
8120
812120070317
8122	+ ignore --with-chtype=unsigned since unsigned is always added to
8123	  the type in curses.h; do the same for --with-mmask-t.
8124	+ change warning regarding --enable-ext-colors and wide-character
8125	  in the configure script to an error.
8126	+ tweak error message in CF_WITH_LIBTOOL to distinguish other programs
8127	  such as Darwin's libtool program (report by Michail Vidiassov)
8128	+ modify edit_man.sh to allow for multiple substitutions per line.
8129	+ set locale in misc/ncurses-config.in since it uses a range
8130	+ change permissions libncurses++.a install (report by Michail
8131	  Vidiassov).
8132	+ corrected length of temporary buffer in wide-character version
8133	  of set_field_buffer() (related to report by Bryan Christ).
8134
813520070311
8136	+ fix mk-1st.awk script install_shlib() function, broken in 20070224
8137	  changes for cygwin (report by  Michail Vidiassov).
8138
813920070310
8140	+ increase size of array in _nc_visbuf2n() to make "tic -v" work
8141	  properly in its similar_sgr() function (report/analysis by Peter
8142	  Santoro).
8143	+ add --enable-reentrant configure option for ongoing changes to
8144	  implement a reentrant version of ncurses:
8145	  + libraries are suffixed with "t"
8146	  + wrap several global variables (curscr, newscr, stdscr, ttytype,
8147	    COLORS, COLOR_PAIRS, COLS, ESCDELAY, LINES and TABSIZE) as
8148	    functions returning values stored in SCREEN or cur_term.
8149	  + move some initialization (LINES, COLS) from lib_setup.c,
8150	    i.e., setupterm() to _nc_setupscreen(), i.e., newterm().
8151
815220070303
8153	+ regenerated html documentation.
8154	+ add NCURSES_OPAQUE symbol to curses.h, will use to make structs
8155	  opaque in selected configurations.
8156	+ move the chunk in lib_acs.c which resets acs capabilities when
8157	  running on a terminal whose locale interferes with those into
8158	  _nc_setupscreen(), so the libtinfo/libtinfow files can be made
8159	  identical (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
8160	+ do not use configure variable SHLIB_LIBS for building libraries
8161	  outside the ncurses directory, since that symbol is customized
8162	  only for that directory, and using it introduces an unneeded
8163	  dependency on libdl (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
8164	+ modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or
8165	  installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in
8166	  case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh (report by Jeff
8167	  Chua).
8168	+ revised section "Using NCURSES under XTERM" in ncurses-intro.html
8169	  (prompted by newsgroup comment by Nick Guenther).
8170
817120070224
8172	+ change internal return codes of _nc_wgetch() to check for cases
8173	  where KEY_CODE_YES should be returned, e.g., if a KEY_RESIZE was
8174	  ungetch'd, and read by wget_wch().
8175	+ fix static-library build broken in 20070217 changes to remove "-ldl"
8176	  (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
8177	+ change makefile/scripts for cygwin to allow building termlib.
8178	+ use Form_Hook in manpages to match form.h
8179	+ use Menu_Hook in manpages, as well as a few places in menu.h
8180	+ correct form- and menu-manpages to use specific Field_Options,
8181	  Menu_Options and Item_Options types.
8182	+ correct prototype for _tracechar() in manpage (cf: 20011229).
8183	+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
8184
818520070217
8186	+ fixes for $(TICS_LIST) in ncurses/Makefile (report by Miroslav
8187	  Lichvar).
8188	+ modify relinking of shared libraries to apply only when rpath is
8189	  enabled, and add --disable-relink option which can be used to
8190	  disable the feature altogether (reports by Michail Vidiassov,
8191	  Adam J Richter).
8192	+ fix --with-termlib option for wide-character configuration, stripping
8193	  the "w" suffix in one place (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
8194	+ remove "-ldl" from some library lists to reduce dependencies in
8195	  programs (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
8196	+ correct description of --enable-signed-char in configure --help
8197	  (report by Michail Vidiassov).
8198	+ add pattern for GNU/kFreeBSD configuration to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE,
8199	  which matches an earlier change to CF_SHARED_OPTS, from xterm #224
8200	  fixes.
8201	+ remove "${DESTDIR}" from -install_name option used for linking
8202	  shared libraries on Darwin (report by Michail Vidiassov).
8203
820420070210
8205	+ add test/inchs.c, test/inch_wide.c, to test win_wchnstr().
8206	+ remove libdl from library list for termlib (report by Miroslav
8207	  Lichvar).
8208	+ fix configure.in to allow --without-progs --with-termlib (patch by
8209	  Miroslav Lichvar).
8210	+ modify win_wchnstr() to ensure that only a base cell is returned
8211	  for each multi-column character (prompted by report by Wei Kong
8212	  regarding change in mvwin_wch() cf: 20041023).
8213
821420070203
8215	+ modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
8216	  from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
8217	  Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
8218	  associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
8219	  Ricardo Cantu).
8220	+ improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
8221	+ ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
8222	+ add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
8223	  to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
8224	+ drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
8225	  no longer relies on it.
8226	+ disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
8227	  --enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
8228	+ remove tack from ncurses tree.
8229
823020070128
8231	+ fix typo in configure script that broke --with-termlib option
8232	  (report by Rong-En Fan).
8233
823420070127
8235	+ improve fix for FreeBSD gnu/98975, to allow for null pointer passed
8236	  to tgetent() (report by Rong-en Fan).
8237	+ update tack/HISTORY and tack/README to tell how to build it after
8238	  it is removed from the ncurses tree.
8239	+ fix configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
8240	  (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
8241	+ review/eliminate other original-file artifacts in cursesw.cc, making
8242	  its license consistent with ncurses.
8243	+ use ncurses vw_scanw() rather than reading into a fixed buffer in
8244	  the c++ binding for scanw() methods (prompted by report by Nuno Dias).
8245	+ eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding.
8246
824720070120
8248	+ add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from
8249	  term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency.
8250	+ fix test/mk-test.awk to ignore blank lines.
8251	+ correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav
8252	  Lichvar).
8253
825420070113
8255	+ add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the
8256	  _first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak).
8257	+ add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the
8258	  ncurses build-tree.
8259	+ add --with-ticlib option, to build/install the tic-support functions
8260	  in a separate library (suggested by Miroslav Lichvar).
8261
826220070106
8263	+ change MKunctrl.awk to reduce relocation table for unctrl.o
8264	+ change MKkeyname.awk to reduce relocation table for keyname.o
8265	  (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
8266
826720061230
8268	+ modify configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
8269	  (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
8270	+ modify some modules to allow them to be reentrant if _REENTRANT is
8271	  defined: lib_baudrate.c, resizeterm.c (local data only)
8272	+ eliminate static data from some modules: add_tries.c, hardscroll.c,
8273	  lib_ttyflags.c, lib_twait.c
8274	+ improve manpage install to add aliases for the transformed program
8275	  names, e.g., from --program-prefix.
8276	+ used linklint to verify links in the HTML documentation, made fixes
8277	  to manpages as needed.
8278	+ fix a typo in curs_mouse.3x (report by William McBrine).
8279	+ fix install-rule for ncurses5-config to make the bin-directory.
8280
828120061223
8282	+ modify configure script to omit the tic (terminfo compiler) support
8283	  from ncurses library if --without-progs option is given.
8284	+ modify install rule for ncurses5-config to do this via "install.libs"
8285	+ modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath.
8286	+ update config.guess, config.sub
8287
828820061217 5.6 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
8289
829020061217
8291	+ add ifdef's for <wctype.h> for HPUX, which has the corresponding
8292	  definitions in <wchar.h>.
8293	+ revert the va_copy() change from 20061202, since it was neither
8294	  correct nor portable.
8295	+ add $(LOCAL_LIBS) definition to progs/Makefile.in, needed for
8296	  rpath on Solaris.
8297	+ ignore wide-acs line-drawing characters that wcwidth() claims are
8298	  not one-column.  This is a workaround for Solaris' broken locale
8299	  support.
8300
830120061216
8302	+ modify configure --with-gpm option to allow it to accept a parameter,
8303	  i.e., the name of the dynamic GPM library to load via dlopen()
8304	  (requested by Bryan Henderson).
8305	+ add configure option --with-valgrind, changes from vile.
8306	+ modify configure script AC_TRY_RUN and AC_TRY_LINK checks to use
8307	  'return' in preference to 'exit()'.
8308
830920061209
8310	+ change default for --with-develop back to "no".
8311	+ add XTABS to tracing of TTY bits.
8312	+ updated autoconf patch to ifdef-out the misfeature which declares
8313	  exit() for configure tests.  This fixes a redefinition warning on
8314	  Solaris.
8315	+ use ${CC} rather than ${LD} in shared library rules for IRIX64,
8316	  Solaris to help ensure that initialization sections are provided for
8317	  extra linkage requirements, e.g., of C++ applications (prompted by
8318	  comment by Casper Dik in newsgroup).
8319	+ rename "$target" in CF_MAN_PAGES to make it easier to distinguish
8320	  from the autoconf predefined symbol.  There was no conflict,
8321	  since "$target" was used only in the generated edit_man.sh file,
8322	  but SuSE's rpm package contains a patch.
8323
832420061202
8325	+ update man/term.5 to reflect extended terminfo support and hashed
8326	  database configuration.
8327	+ updates for test/configure script.
8328	+ adapted from SuSE rpm package:
8329	  + remove long-obsolete workaround for broken-linker which declared
8330	    cur_term in tic.c
8331	  + improve error recovery in PUTC() macro when wcrtomb() does not
8332	    return usable results for an 8-bit character.
8333	+ patches from rpm package (SuSE):
8334	  + use va_copy() in extra varargs manipulation for tracing version
8335	    of printw, etc.
8336	  + use a va_list rather than a null in _nc_freeall()'s call to
8337	    _nc_printf_string().
8338	+ add some see-also references in manpages to show related
8339	  wide-character functions (suggested by Claus Fischer).
8340
834120061125
8342	+ add a check in lib_color.c to ensure caller does not increase COLORS
8343	  above max_colors, which is used as an array index (discussion with
8344	  Simon Sasburg).
8345	+ add ifdef's allowing ncurses to be built with tparm() using either
8346	  varargs (the existing status), or using a fixed-parameter list (to
8347	  match X/Open).
8348
834920061104
8350	+ fix redrawing of windows other than stdscr using wredrawln() by
8351	  touching the corresponding rows in curscr (discussion with Dan
8352	  Gookin).
8353	+ add test/redraw.c
8354	+ add test/echochar.c
8355	+ review/cleanup manpage descriptions of error-returns for form- and
8356	  menu-libraries (prompted by FreeBSD docs/46196).
8357
835820061028
8359	+ add AUTHORS file -TD
8360	+ omit the -D options from output of the new config script --cflags
8361	  option (suggested by Ralf S Engelschall).
8362	+ make NCURSES_INLINE unconditionally defined in curses.h
8363
836420061021
8365	+ revert change to accommodate bash 3.2, since that breaks other
8366	  platforms, e.g., Solaris.
8367	+ minor fixes to NEWS file to simplify scripting to obtain list of
8368	  contributors.
8369	+ improve some shared-library configure scripting for Linux, FreeBSD
8370	  and NetBSD to make "--with-shlib-version" work.
8371	+ change configure-script rules for FreeBSD shared libraries to allow
8372	  for rpath support in versions past 3.
8373	+ use $(DESTDIR) in makefile rules for installing/uninstalling the
8374	  package config script (reports/patches by Christian Wiese,
8375	  Ralf S Engelschall).
8376	+ fix a warning in the configure script for NetBSD 2.0, working around
8377	  spurious blanks embedded in its ${MAKEFLAGS} symbol.
8378	+ change test/Makefile to simplify installing test programs in a
8379	  different directory when --enable-rpath is used.
8380
838120061014
8382	+ work around bug in bash 3.2 by adding extra quotes (Jim Gifford).
8383	+ add/install a package config script, e.g., "ncurses5-config" or
8384	  "ncursesw5-config", according to configuration options.
8385
838620061007
8387	+ add several GNU Screen terminfo variations with 16- and 256-colors,
8388	  and status line (Alain Bench).
8389	+ change the way shared libraries (other than libtool) are installed.
8390	  Rather than copying the build-tree's libraries, link the shared
8391	  objects into the install directory.  This makes the --with-rpath
8392	  option work except with $(DESTDIR) (cf: 20000930).
8393
839420060930
8395	+ fix ifdef in c++/internal.h for QNX 6.1
8396	+ test-compiled with (old) egcs-1.1.2, modified configure script to
8397	  not unset the $CXX and related variables which would prevent this.
8398	+ fix a few terminfo.src typos exposed by improvements to "-f" option.
8399	+ improve infocmp/tic "-f" option formatting.
8400
840120060923
8402	+ make --disable-largefile option work (report by Thomas M Ott).
8403	+ updated html documentation.
8404	+ add ka2, kb1, kb3, kc2 to vt220-keypad as an extension -TD
8405	+ minor improvements to rxvt+pcfkeys -TD
8406
840720060916
8408	+ move static data from lib_mouse.c into SCREEN struct.
8409	+ improve ifdef's for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset to work with Mac OS X
8410	  (report by Michail Vidiassov).
8411	+ modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX to ensure it uses the result from --prefix
8412	  option (from lynx changes) -TD
8413	+ adapt AC_PROG_EGREP check, noting that this is likely to be another
8414	  place aggravated by POSIXLY_CORRECT.
8415	+ modify configure check for awk to ensure that it is found (prompted
8416	  by report by Christopher Parker).
8417	+ update config.sub
8418
841920060909
8420	+ add kon, kon2 and jfbterm terminfo entry (request by Till Maas) -TD
8421	+ remove invis capability from klone+sgr, mainly used by linux entry,
8422	  since it does not really do this -TD
8423
842420060903
8425	+ correct logic in wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not guard
8426	  against passing the multi-column attribute into a call on waddch(),
8427	  e.g., using data returned by win_wch() (cf: 20041023)
8428	  (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
8429
843020060902
8431	+ fix kterm's acsc string -TD
8432	+ fix for change to tic/infocmp in 20060819 to ensure no blank is
8433	  embedded into a termcap description.
8434	+ workaround for 20050806 ifdef's change to allow visbuf.c to compile
8435	  when using --with-termlib --with-trace options.
8436	+ improve tgetstr() by making the return value point into the user's
8437	  buffer, if provided (patch by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat #202480)).
8438	+ correct libraries needed for foldkeys (report by Stanislav Ievlev)
8439
844020060826
8441	+ add terminfo entries for xfce terminal (xfce) and multi gnome
8442	  terminal (mgt) -TD
8443	+ add test/foldkeys.c
8444
844520060819
8446	+ modify tic and infocmp to avoid writing trailing blanks on terminfo
8447	  source output (Debian #378783).
8448	+ modify configure script to ensure that if the C compiler is used
8449	  rather than the loader in making shared libraries, the $(CFLAGS)
8450	  variable is also used (Redhat #199369).
8451	+ port hashed-db code to db2 and db3.
8452	+ fix a bug in tgetent() from 20060625 and 20060715 changes
8453	  (patch/analysis by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat #202480)).
8454
845520060805
8456	+ updated xterm function-keys terminfo to match xterm #216 -TD
8457	+ add configure --with-hashed-db option (tested only with FreeBSD 6.0,
8458	  e.g., the db 1.8.5 interface).
8459
846020060729
8461	+ modify toe to access termcap data, e.g., via cgetent() functions,
8462	  or as a text file if those are not available.
8463	+ use _nc_basename() in tset to improve $SHELL check for csh/sh.
8464	+ modify _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_termcap_entry() so infocmp,
8465	  can access termcap data when the terminfo database is disabled.
8466
846720060722
8468	+ widen the test for xterm kmous a little to allow for other strings
8469	  than \E[M, e.g., for xterm-sco functionality in xterm.
8470	+ update xterm-related terminfo entries to match xterm patch #216 -TD
8471	+ update config.guess, config.sub
8472
847320060715
8474	+ fix for install-rule in Ada95 to add terminal_interface.ads
8475	  and terminal_interface.ali (anonymous posting in comp.lang.ada).
8476	+ correction to manpage for getcchar() (report by William McBrine).
8477	+ add test/chgat.c
8478	+ modify wchgat() to mark updated cells as changed so a refresh will
8479	  repaint those cells (comments by Sadrul H Chowdhury and William
8480	  McBrine).
8481	+ split up dependency of names.c and codes.c in ncurses/Makefile to
8482	  work with parallel make (report/analysis by Joseph S Myers).
8483	+ suppress a warning message (which is ignored) for systems without
8484	  an ldconfig program (patch by Justin Hibbits).
8485	+ modify configure script --disable-symlinks option to allow one to
8486	  disable symlink() in tic even when link() does not work (report by
8487	  Nigel Horne).
8488	+ modify MKfallback.sh to use tic -x when constructing fallback tables
8489	  to allow extended capabilities to be retrieved from a fallback entry.
8490	+ improve leak-checking logic in tgetent() from 20060625 to ensure that
8491	  it does not free the current screen (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
8492
849320060708
8494	+ add a check for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset (NetBSD #33916).
8495	+ correct _nc_free_entries() and related functions used for memory leak
8496	  checking of tic.
8497
849820060701
8499	+ revert a minor change for magic-cookie support from 20060513, which
8500	  caused unexpected reset of attributes, e.g., when resizing test/view
8501	  in color mode.
8502	+ note in clear manpage that the program ignores command-line
8503	  parameters (prompted by Debian #371855).
8504	+ fixes to make lib_gen.c build properly with changes to the configure
8505	  --disable-macros option and NCURSES_NOMACROS (cf:  20060527)
8506	+ update/correct several terminfo entries -TD
8507	+ add some notes regarding copyright to terminfo.src -TD
8508
850920060625
8510	+ fixes to build Ada95 binding with gnat-4.1.0
8511	+ modify read_termtype() so the term_names data is always allocated as
8512	  part of the str_table, a better fix for a memory leak (cf: 20030809).
8513	+ reduce memory leaks in repeated calls to tgetent() by remembering the
8514	  last TERMINAL* value allocated to hold the corresponding data and
8515	  freeing that if the tgetent() result buffer is the same as the
8516	  previous call (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
8517	+ modify tack to test extended capability function-key strings.
8518	+ improved gnome terminfo entry (GenToo #122566).
8519	+ improved xterm-256color terminfo entry (patch by Alain Bench).
8520
852120060617
8522	+ fix two small memory leaks related to repeated tgetent() calls
8523	  with TERM=screen (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
8524	+ add --enable-signed-char to simplify Debian package.
8525	+ reduce name-pollution in term.h by removing #define's for HAVE_xxx
8526	  symbols.
8527	+ correct typo in curs_terminfo.3x (Debian #369168).
8528
852920060603
8530	+ enable the mouse in test/movewindow.c
8531	+ improve a limit-check in frm_def.c (John Heasley).
8532	+ minor copyright fixes.
8533	+ change configure script to produce test/Makefile from data file.
8534
853520060527
8536	+ add a configure option --enable-wgetch-events to enable
8537	  NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS, and correct the associated loop-logic in
8538	  lib_twait.c (report by Bernd Jendrissek).
8539	+ remove include/nomacros.h from build, since the ifdef for
8540	  NCURSES_NOMACROS makes that obsolete.
8541	+ add entrypoints for some functions which were only provided as macros
8542	  to make NCURSES_NOMACROS ifdef work properly:  getcurx(), getcury(),
8543	  getbegx(), getbegy(), getmaxx(), getmaxy(), getparx() and getpary(),
8544	  wgetbkgrnd().
8545	+ provide ifdef for NCURSES_NOMACROS which suppresses most macro
8546	  definitions from curses.h, i.e., where a macro is defined to override
8547	  a function to improve performance.  Allowing a developer to suppress
8548	  these definitions can simplify some application (discussion with
8549	  Stanislav Ievlev).
8550	+ improve description of memu/meml in terminfo manpage.
8551
855220060520
8553	+ if msgr is false, reset video attributes when doing an automargin
8554	  wrap to the next line.  This makes the ncurses 'k' test work properly
8555	  for hpterm.
8556	+ correct caching of keyname(), which was using only half of its table.
8557	+ minor fixes to memory-leak checking.
8558	+ make SCREEN._acs_map and SCREEN._screen_acs_map pointers rather than
8559	  arrays, making ACS_LEN less visible to applications (suggested by
8560	  Stanislav Ievlev).
8561	+ move chunk in SCREEN ifdef'd for USE_WIDEC_SUPPORT to the end, so
8562	  _screen_acs_map will have the same offset in both ncurses/ncursesw,
8563	  making the corresponding tinfo/tinfow libraries binary-compatible
8564	  (cf: 20041016, report by Stanislav Ievlev).
8565
856620060513
8567	+ improve debug-tracing for EmitRange().
8568	+ change default for --with-develop to "yes".  Add NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS
8569	  and NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE environment variables to allow runtime
8570	  suppression of the related hard-tabs and xmc-glitch features.
8571	+ add ncurses version number to top-level manpages, e.g., ncurses, tic,
8572	  infocmp, terminfo as well as form, menu, panel.
8573	+ update config.guess, config.sub
8574	+ modify ncurses.c to work around a bug in NetBSD 3.0 curses
8575	  (field_buffer returning null for a valid field).  The 'r' test
8576	  appears to not work with that configuration since the new_fieldtype()
8577	  function is broken in that implementation.
8578
857920060506
8580	+ add hpterm-color terminfo entry -TD
8581	+ fixes to compile test-programs with HPUX 11.23
8582
858320060422
8584	+ add copyright notices to files other than those that are generated,
8585	  data or adapted from pdcurses (reports by William McBrine, David
8586	  Taylor).
8587	+ improve rendering on hpterm by not resetting attributes at the end
8588	  of doupdate() if the terminal has the magic-cookie feature (report
8589	  by Bernd Rieke).
8590	+ add 256color variants of terminfo entries for programs which are
8591	  reported to implement this feature -TD
8592
859320060416
8594	+ fix typo in change to NewChar() macro from 20060311 changes, which
8595	  broke tab-expansion (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
8596
859720060415
8598	+ document -U option of tic and infocmp.
8599	+ modify tic/infocmp to suppress smacs/rmacs when acsc is suppressed
8600	  due to size limit, e.g., converting to termcap format.  Also
8601	  suppress them if the output format does not contain acsc and it
8602	  was not VT100-like, i.e., a one-one mapping (Novell #163715).
8603	+ add configure check to ensure that SIGWINCH is defined on platforms
8604	  such as OS X which exclude that when _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., are
8605	  defined (report by Nicholas Cole)
8606
860720060408
8608	+ modify write_object() to not write coincidental extensions of an
8609	  entry made due to it being referenced in a use= clause (report by
8610	  Alain Bench).
8611	+ another fix for infocmp -i option, which did not ensure that some
8612	  escape sequences had comparable prefixes (report by Alain Bench).
8613
861420060401
8615	+ improve discussion of init/reset in terminfo and tput manpages
8616	  (report by Alain Bench).
8617	+ use is3 string for a fallback of rs3 in the reset program; it was
8618	  using is2 (report by Alain Bench).
8619	+ correct logic for infocmp -i option, which did not account for
8620	  multiple digits in a parameter (cf: 20040828) (report by Alain
8621	  Bench).
8622	+ move _nc_handle_sigwinch() to lib_setup.c to make --with-termlib
8623	  option work after 20060114 changes (report by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz).
8624	+ add copyright notices to test-programs as needed (report by William
8625	  McBrine).
8626
862720060318
8628	+ modify ncurses.c 'F' test to combine the wide-characters with color
8629	  and/or video attributes.
8630	+ modify test/ncurses to use CTL/Q or ESC consistently for exiting
8631	  a test-screen (some commands used 'x' or 'q').
8632
863320060312
8634	+ fix an off-by-one in the scrolling-region change (cf_ 20060311).
8635
863620060311
8637	+ add checks in waddchnstr() and wadd_wchnstr() to stop copying when
8638	  a null character is found (report by Igor Bogomazov).
8639	+ modify progs/Makefile.in to make "tput init" work properly with
8640	  cygwin, i.e., do not pass a ".exe" in the reference string used
8641	  in check_aliases (report by Samuel Thibault).
8642	+ add some checks to ensure current position is within scrolling
8643	  region before scrolling on a new line (report by Dan Gookin).
8644	+ change some NewChar() usage to static variables to work around
8645	  stack garbage introduced when cchar_t is not packed (Redhat #182024).
8646
864720060225
8648	+ workarounds to build test/movewindow with PDcurses 2.7.
8649	+ fix for nsterm-16color entry (patch by Alain Bench).
8650	+ correct a typo in infocmp manpage (Debian #354281).
8651
865220060218
8653	+ add nsterm-16color entry -TD
8654	+ updated mlterm terminfo entry -TD
8655	+ remove 970913 feature for copying subwindows as they are moved in
8656	  mvwin() (discussion with Bryan Christ).
8657	+ modify test/demo_menus.c to demonstrate moving a menu (both the
8658	  window and subwindow) using shifted cursor-keys.
8659	+ start implementing recursive mvwin() in movewindow.c (incomplete).
8660	+ add a fallback definition for GCC_PRINTFLIKE() in test.priv.h,
8661	  for movewindow.c (report by William McBrine).
8662	+ add help-message to test/movewindow.c
8663
866420060211
8665	+ add test/movewindow.c, to test mvderwin().
8666	+ fix ncurses soft-key test so color changes are shown immediately
8667	  rather than delayed.
8668	+ modify ncurses soft-key test to hide the keys when exiting the test
8669	  screen.
8670	+ fixes to build test programs with PDCurses 2.7, e.g., its headers
8671	  rely on autoconf symbols, and it declares stubs for nonfunctional
8672	  terminfo and termcap entrypoints.
8673
867420060204
8675	+ improved test/configure to build test/ncurses on HPUX 11 using the
8676	  vendor curses.
8677	+ documented ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS in the ncurses manpage, for the
8678	  benefit of developers who do not read INSTALL.
8679
868020060128
8681	+ correct form library Window_To_Buffer() change (cf:  20040516), which
8682	  should ignore the video attributes (report by Ricardo Cantu).
8683
868420060121
8685	+ minor fixes to xmc-glitch experimental code:
8686	  + suppress line-drawing
8687	  + implement max_attributes
8688	  tested with xterm.
8689	+ minor fixes for the database iterator.
8690	+ fix some buffer limits in c++ demo (comment by Falk Hueffner in
8691	  Debian #348117).
8692
869320060114
8694	+ add toe -a option, to show all databases.  This uses new private
8695	  interfaces in the ncurses library for iterating through the list of
8696	  databases.
8697	+ fix toe from 20000909 changes which made it not look at
8698	  $HOME/.terminfo
8699	+ make toe's -v option parameter optional as per manpage.
8700	+ improve SIGWINCH handling by postponing its effect during newterm(),
8701	  etc., when allocating screens.
8702
870320060111
8704	+ modify wgetnstr() to return KEY_RESIZE if a sigwinch occurs.  Use
8705	  this in test/filter.c
8706	+ fix an error in filter() modification which caused some applications
8707	  to fail.
8708
870920060107
8710	+ check if filter() was called when getting the screensize.  Keep it
8711	  at 1 if so (based on Redhat #174498).
8712	+ add extension nofilter().
8713	+ refined the workaround for ACS mapping.
8714	+ make ifdef's consistent in curses.h for the extended colors so the
8715	  header file can be used for the normal curses library.  The header
8716	  file installed for extended colors is a variation of the
8717	  wide-character configuration (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
8718
871920051231
8720	+ add a workaround to ACS mapping to allow applications such as
8721	  test/blue.c to use the "PC ROM" characters by masking them with
8722	  A_ALTCHARSET.  This worked up til 5.5, but was lost in the revision
8723	  of legacy coding (report by Michael Deutschmann).
8724	+ add a null-pointer check in the wide-character version of
8725	  calculate_actual_width() (report by Victor Julien).
8726	+ improve test/ncurses 'd' (color-edit) test by allowing the RGB
8727	  values to be set independently (patch by William McBrine).
8728	+ modify test/configure script to allow building test programs with
8729	  PDCurses/X11.
8730	+ modified test programs to allow some to work with NetBSD curses.
8731	  Several do not because NetBSD curses implements a subset of X/Open
8732	  curses, and also lacks much of SVr4 additions.  But it's enough for
8733	  comparison.
8734	+ update config.guess and config.sub
8735
873620051224
8737	+ use BSD-specific fix for return-value from cgetent() from CVS where
8738	  an unknown terminal type would be reportd as "database not found".
8739	+ make tgetent() return code more readable using new symbols
8740	  TGETENT_YES, etc.
8741	+ remove references to non-existent "tctest" program.
8742	+ remove TESTPROGS from progs/Makefile.in (it was referring to code
8743	  that was never built in that directory).
8744	+ typos in curs_addchstr.3x, some doc files (noticed in OpenBSD CVS).
8745
874620051217
8747	+ add use_legacy_coding() function to support lynx's font-switching
8748	  feature.
8749	+ fix formatting in curs_termcap.3x (report by Mike Frysinger).
8750	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to change preprocessor-expanded _Bool back to
8751	  bool.
8752
875320051210
8754	+ extend test/ncurses.c 's' (overlay window) test to exercise overlay(),
8755	  overwrite() and copywin() with different combinations of colors and
8756	  attributes (including background color) to make it easy to see the
8757	  effect of the different functions.
8758	+ corrections to menu/m_global.c for wide-characters (report by
8759	  Victor Julien).
8760
876120051203
8762	+ add configure option --without-dlsym, allowing developers to
8763	  configure GPM support without using dlsym() (discussion with Michael
8764	  Setzer).
8765	+ fix wins_nwstr(), which did not handle single-column non-8bit codes
8766	  (Debian #341661).
8767
876820051126
8769	+ move prototypes for wide-character trace functions from curses.tail
8770	  to curses.wide to avoid accidental reference to those if
8771	  _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined without ensuring that <wchar.h> is
8772	  included.
8773	+ add/use NCURSES_INLINE definition.
8774	+ change some internal functions to use int/unsigned rather than the
8775	  short equivalents.
8776
877720051119
8778	+ remove a redundant check in lib_color.c (Debian #335655).
8779	+ use ld's -search_paths_first option on Darwin to work around odd
8780	  search rules on that platform (report by Christian Gennerat, analysis
8781	  by Andrea Govoni).
8782	+ remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro.
8783	+ ignore EINTR in tcgetattr/tcsetattr calls (Debian #339518).
8784	+ fix several bugs in test/bs.c (patch by Stephen Lindholm).
8785
878620051112
8787	+ other minor fixes to cygwin based on tack -TD
8788	+ correct smacs in cygwin (Debian #338234, report by Baurzhan
8789	  Ismagulov, who noted that it was fixed in Cygwin).
8790
879120051029
8792	+ add shifted up/down arrow codes to xterm-new as kind/kri strings -TD
8793	+ modify wbkgrnd() to avoid clearing the A_CHARTEXT attribute bits
8794	  since those record the state of multicolumn characters (Debian
8795	  #316663).
8796	+ modify werase to clear multicolumn characters that extend into
8797	  a derived window (Debian #316663).
8798
879920051022
8800	+ move assignment from environment variable ESCDELAY from initscr()
8801	  down to newterm() so the environment variable affects timeouts for
8802	  terminals opened with newterm() as well.
8803	+ fix a memory leak in keyname().
8804	+ add test/demo_altkeys.c
8805	+ modify test/demo_defkey.c to exit from loop via 'q' to allow
8806	  leak-checking, as well as fix a buffer size in winnstr() call.
8807
880820051015
8809	+ correct order of use-clauses in rxvt-basic entry which made codes for
8810	  f1-f4 vt100-style rather than vt220-style (report by Gabor Z Papp).
8811	+ suppress configure check for gnatmake if Ada95/Makefile.in is not
8812	  found.
8813	+ correct a typo in configure --with-bool option for the case where
8814	  --without-cxx is used (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
8815	+ add a note to INSTALL's discussion of --with-normal, pointing out
8816	  that one may wish to use --without-gpm to ensure a completely
8817	  static link (prompted by report by Felix von Leitner).
8818
881920051010 5.5 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
8820
882120051008
8822	+ document in demo_forms.c some portability issues.
8823
882420051001
8825	+ document side-effect of werase() which sets the cursor position.
8826	+ save/restore the current position in form field editing to make
8827	  overlay mode work.
8828
882920050924
8830	+ correct header dependencies in progs, allowing parallel make (report
8831	  by Daniel Jacobowitz).
8832	+ modify CF_BUILD_CC to ensure that pre-setting $BUILD_CC overrides
8833	  the configure check for --with-build-cc (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
8834	+ modify CF_CFG_DEFAULTS to not use /usr as the default prefix for
8835	  NetBSD.
8836	+ update config.guess and config.sub from
8837		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
8838
883920050917
8840	+ modify sed expression which computes path for /usr/lib/terminfo
8841	  symbolic link in install to ensure that it does not change unexpected
8842	  levels of the path (Gentoo #42336).
8843	+ modify default for --disable-lp64 configure option to reduce impact
8844	  on existing 64-bit builds.  Enabling the _LP64 option may change the
8845	  size of chtype and mmask_t.  However, for ABI 6, it is enabled by
8846	  default (report by Mike Frysinger).
8847	+ add configure script check for --enable-ext-mouse, bump ABI to 6 by
8848	  default if it is used.
8849	+ improve configure script logic for bumping ABI to omit this if the
8850	  --with-abi-version option was used.
8851	+ update address for Free Software Foundation in tack's source.
8852	+ correct wins_wch(), which was not marking the filler-cells of
8853	  multi-column characters (cf:  20041023).
8854
885520050910
8856	+ modify mouse initialization to ensure that Gpm_Open() is called only
8857	  once.  Otherwise GPM gets confused in its initialization of signal
8858	  handlers (Debian #326709).
8859
886020050903
8861	+ modify logic for backspacing in a multiline form field to ensure that
8862	  it works even when the preceding line is full (report by Frank van
8863	  Vugt).
8864	+ remove comment about BUGS section of ncurses manpage (Debian #325481)
8865
886620050827
8867	+ document some workarounds for shared and libtool library
8868	  configurations in INSTALL (see --with-shared and --with-libtool).
8869	+ modify CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GXX_VERSION macros to accommodate
8870	  cross-compilers which emit the platform name in their version
8871	  message, e.g.,
8872		arm-sa1100-linux-gnu-g++ (GCC) 4.0.1
8873	  (report by Frank van Vugt).
8874
887520050820
8876	+ start updating documentation for upcoming 5.5 release.
8877	+ fix to make libtool  and libtinfo work together again (cf: 20050122).
8878	+ fixes to allow building traces into libtinfo
8879	+ add debug trace to tic that shows if/how ncurses will write to the
8880	  lower corner of a terminal's screen.
8881	+ update llib-l* files.
8882
888320050813
8884	+ modify initializers in c++ binding to build with old versions of g++.
8885	+ improve special case for 20050115 repainting fix, ensuring that if
8886	  the first changed cell is not a character that the range to be
8887	  repainted is adjusted to start at a character's beginning (Debian
8888	  #316663).
8889
889020050806
8891	+ fixes to build on QNX 6.1
8892	+ improve configure script checks for Intel 9.0 compiler.
8893	+ remove #include's for libc.h (obsolete).
8894	+ adjust ifdef's in curses.priv.h so that when cross-compiling to
8895	  produce comp_hash and make_keys, no dependency on wchar.h is needed.
8896	  That simplifies the build-cppflags (report by Frank van Vugt).
8897	+ move modules related to key-binding into libtinfo to fix linkage
8898	  problem caused by 20050430 changes to MKkeyname.sh (report by
8899	  Konstantin Andreev).
8900
890120050723
8902	+ updates/fixes for configure script macros from vile -TD
8903	+ make prism9's sgr string agree with the rest of the terminfo -TD
8904	+ make vt220's sgr0 string consistent with sgr string, do this for
8905	  several related cases -TD
8906	+ improve translation to termcap by filtering the 'me' (sgr0) strings
8907	  as in the runtime call to tgetent() (prompted by a discussion with
8908	  Thomas Klausner).
8909	+ improve tic check for sgr0 versus sgr(0), to help ensure that sgr0
8910	  resets line-drawing.
8911
891220050716
8913	+ fix special cases for trimming sgr0 for hurd and vt220 (Debian
8914	  #318621).
8915	+ split-out _nc_trim_sgr0() from modifications made to tgetent(), to
8916	  allow it to be used by tic to provide information about the runtime
8917	  changes that would be made to sgr0 for termcap applications.
8918	+ modify make_sed.sh to make the group-name in the NAME section of
8919	  form/menu library manpage agree with the TITLE string when renaming
8920	  is done for Debian (Debian #78866).
8921
892220050702
8923	+ modify parameter type in c++ binding for insch() and mvwinsch() to
8924	  be consistent with underlying ncurses library (was char, is chtype).
8925	+ modify treatment of Intel compiler to allow _GNU_SOURCE to be defined
8926	  on Linux.
8927	+ improve configure check for nanosleep(), checking that it works since
8928	  some older systems such as AIX 4.3 have a nonworking version.
8929
893020050625
8931	+ update config.guess and config.sub from
8932		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
8933	+ modify misc/shlib to work in test-directory.
8934	+ suppress $suffix in misc/run_tic.sh when cross-compiling.  This
8935	  allows cross-compiles to use the host's tic program to handle the
8936	  "make install.data" step.
8937	+ improve description of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables in manpages
8938	  (prompted by report by Dave Ulrick).
8939	+ improve description of cross-compiling in INSTALL
8940	+ add NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html by Pradeep Padala
8941	  (see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/).
8942	+ modify configure script to obtain soname for GPM library (discussion
8943	  with Daniel Jacobowitz).
8944	+ modify configure script so that --with-chtype option will still
8945	  compute the unsigned literals suffix for constants in curses.h
8946	  (report by Daniel Jacobowitz:
8947	+ patches from Daniel Jacobowitz:
8948	  + the man_db.renames entry for tack.1 was backwards.
8949	  + tack.1 had some 1m's that should have been 1M's.
8950	  + the section for curs_inwstr.3 was wrong.
8951
895220050619
8953	+ correction to --with-chtype option (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
8954
895520050618
8956	+ move build-time edit_man.sh and edit_man.sed scripts to top directory
8957	  to simplify reusing them for renaming tack's manpage (prompted by a
8958	  review of Debian package).
8959	+ revert minor optimization from 20041030 (Debian #313609).
8960	+ libtool-specific fixes, tested with libtool 1.4.3, 1.5.0, 1.5.6,
8961	  1.5.10 and 1.5.18 (all work except as noted previously for the c++
8962	  install using libtool 1.5.0):
8963	  + modify the clean-rule in c++/Makefile.in to work with IRIX64 make
8964	    program.
8965	  + use $(LIBTOOL_UNINSTALL) symbol, overlooked in 20030830
8966	+ add configure options --with-chtype and --with-mmask-t, to allow
8967	  overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of the corresponding types.
8968	+ revise test for size of chtype (and mmask_t), which always returned
8969	  "long" due to an uninitialized variable (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
8970
897120050611
8972	+ change _tracef's that used "%p" format for va_list values to ignore
8973	  that, since on some platforms those are not pointers.
8974	+ fixes for long-formats in printf's due to largefile support.
8975
897620050604
8977	+ fixes for termcap support:
8978	  + reset pointer to _nc_curr_token.tk_name when the input stream is
8979	    closed, which could point to free memory (cf: 20030215).
8980	  + delink TERMTYPE data which is used by the termcap reader, so that
8981	    extended names data will be freed consistently.
8982	  + free pointer to TERMTYPE data in _nc_free_termtype() rather than
8983	    its callers.
8984	  + add some entrypoints for freeing permanently allocated data via
8985	    _nc_freeall() when NO_LEAKS is defined.
8986	+ amend 20041030 change to _nc_do_color to ensure that optimization is
8987	  applied only when the terminal supports back_color_erase (bce).
8988
898920050528
8990	+ add sun-color terminfo entry -TD
8991	+ correct a missing assignment in c++ binding's method
8992	  NCursesPanel::UserPointer() from 20050409 changes.
8993	+ improve configure check for large-files, adding check for dirent64
8994	  from vile -TD
8995	+ minor change to configure script to improve linker options for the
8996	  Ada95 tree.
8997
899820050515
8999	+ document error conditions for ncurses library functions (report by
9000	  Stanislav Ievlev).
9001	+ regenerated html documentation for ada binding.
9002	  see ftp://ftp.invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/gnathtml
9003
900420050507
9005	+ regenerated html documentation for manpages.
9006	+ add $(BUILD_EXEEXT) suffix to invocation of make_keys in
9007	  ncurses/Makefile (Gentoo #89772).
9008	+ modify c++/demo.cc to build with g++ -fno-implicit-templates option
9009	  (patch by Mike Frysinger).
9010	+ modify tic to filter out long extended names when translating to
9011	  termcap format.  Only two characters are permissible for termcap
9012	  capability names.
9013
901420050430
9015	+ modify terminfo entries xterm-new and rxvt to add strings for
9016	  shift-, control-cursor keys.
9017	+ workaround to allow c++ binding to compile with g++ 2.95.3, which
9018	  has a broken implementation of static_cast<> (patch by Jeff Chua).
9019	+ modify initialization of key lookup table so that if an extended
9020	  capability (tic -x) string is defined, and its name begins with 'k',
9021	  it will automatically be treated as a key.
9022	+ modify test/keynames.c to allow for the possibility of extended
9023	  key names, e.g., via define_key(), or via "tic -x".
9024	+ add test/demo_termcap.c to show the contents of given entry via the
9025	  termcap interface.
9026
902720050423
9028	+ minor fixes for vt100/vt52 entries -TD
9029	+ add configure option --enable-largefile
9030	+ corrected libraries used to build Ada95/gen/gen, found in testing
9031	  gcc 4.0.0.
9032
903320050416
9034	+ update config.guess, config.sub
9035	+ modify configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, disable that on
9036	  Darwin whose header files have problems (patch by Chris Zubrzycki).
9037	+ modify form library Is_Printable_String() to use iswprint() rather
9038	  than wcwidth() for determining if a character is printable.  The
9039	  latter caused it to reject menu items containing non-spacing
9040	  characters.
9041	+ modify ncurses test program's F-test to handle non-spacing characters
9042	  by combining them with a reverse-video blank.
9043	+ review/fix several gcc -Wconversion warnings.
9044
904520050409
9046	+ correct an off-by-one error in m_driver() for mouse-clicks used to
9047	  position the mouse to a particular item.
9048	+ implement test/demo_menus.c
9049	+ add some checks in lib_mouse to ensure SP is set.
9050	+ modify C++ binding to make 20050403 changes work with the configure
9051	  --enable-const option.
9052
905320050403
9054	+ modify start_color() to return ERR if it cannot allocate memory.
9055	+ address g++ compiler warnings in C++ binding by adding explicit
9056	  member initialization, assignment operators and copy constructors.
9057	  Most of the changes simply preserve the existing semantics of the
9058	  binding, which can leak memory, etc., but by making these features
9059	  visible, it provides a framework for improving the binding.
9060	+ improve C++ binding using static_cast, etc.
9061	+ modify configure script --enable-warnings to add options to g++ to
9062	  correspond to the gcc --enable-warnings.
9063	+ modify C++ binding to use some C internal functions to make it
9064	  compile properly on Solaris (and other platforms).
9065
906620050327
9067	+ amend change from 20050320 to limit it to configurations with a
9068	  valid locale.
9069	+ fix a bug introduced in 20050320 which broke the translation of
9070	  nonprinting characters to uparrow form (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
9071
907220050326
9073	+ add ifdef's for _LP64 in curses.h to avoid using wasteful 64-bits for
9074	  chtype and mmask_t, but add configure option --disable-lp64 in case
9075	  anyone used that configuration.
9076	+ update misc/shlib script to account for Mac OS X (report by Michail
9077	  Vidiassov).
9078	+ correct comparison for wrapping multibyte characters in
9079	  waddch_literal() (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
9080
908120050320
9082	+ add -c and -w options to tset to allow user to suppress ncurses'
9083	  resizing of the terminal emulator window in the special case where it
9084	  is not able to detect the true size (report by Win Delvaux, Debian
9085	  #300419).
9086	+ modify waddch_nosync() to account for locale zn_CH.GBK, which uses
9087	  codes 128-159 as part of multibyte characters (report by Wang
9088	  WenRui, Debian #300512).
9089
909020050319
9091	+ modify ncurses.c 'd' test to make it work with 88-color
9092	  configuration, i.e., by implementing scrolling.
9093	+ improve scrolling in ncurses.c 'c' and 'C' tests, e.g., for 88-color
9094	  configuration.
9095
909620050312
9097	+ change tracemunch to use strict checking.
9098	+ modify ncurses.c 'p' test to test line-drawing within a pad.
9099	+ implement environment variable NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS to support
9100	  miscellaneous terminal emulators which ignore alternate character
9101	  set escape sequences when in UTF-8 mode.
9102
910320050305
9104	+ change NCursesWindow::err_handler() to a virtual function (request by
9105	  Steve Beal).
9106	+ modify fty_int.c and fty_num.c to handle wide characters (report by
9107	  Wolfgang Gutjahr).
9108	+ adapt fix for fty_alpha.c to fty_alnum.c, which also handled normal
9109	  and wide characters inconsistently (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
9110	+ update llib-* files to reflect internal interface additions/changes.
9111
911220050226
9113	+ improve test/configure script, adding tests for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc.,
9114	  from lynx.
9115	+ add aixterm-16color terminfo entry -TD
9116	+ modified xterm-new terminfo entry to work with tgetent() changes -TD
9117	+ extended changes in tgetent() from 20040710 to allow the substring of
9118	  sgr0 which matches rmacs to be at the beginning of the sgr0 string
9119	  (request by Thomas Wolff).  Wolff says the visual effect in
9120	  combination with pre-20040710 ncurses is improved.
9121	+ fix off-by-one in winnstr() call which caused form field validation
9122	  of multibyte characters to ignore the last character in a field.
9123	+ correct logic in winsch() for inserting multibyte strings; the code
9124	  would clear cells after the insertion rather than push them to the
9125	  right (cf: 20040228).
9126	+ fix an inconsistency in Check_Alpha_Field() between normal and wide
9127	  character logic (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
9128
912920050219
9130	+ fix a bug in editing wide-characters in form library: deleting a
9131	  nonwide character modified the previous wide-character.
9132	+ update manpage to describe NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2.
9133	+ correct manpage description of mouseinterval() (Debian #280687).
9134	+ add a note to default_colors.3x explaining why this extension was
9135	  added (Debian #295083).
9136	+ add traces to panel library.
9137
913820050212
9139	+ improve editing of wide-characters in form library:  left/right
9140	  cursor movement, and single-character deletions work properly.
9141	+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM happens to be prefixed with
9142	  "xterm".  Gpm_Open() would otherwise assert that it can deal with
9143	  mouse events in this case.
9144	+ modify GPM mouse support so it closes the server connection when
9145	  the caller disables the mouse (report by Stanislav Ievlev).
9146
914720050205
9148	+ add traces for callback functions in form library.
9149	+ add experimental configure option --enable-ext-mouse, which defines
9150	  NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies the encoding of mouse events to
9151	  support wheel mice, which may transmit buttons 4 and 5.  This works
9152	  with xterm and similar X terminal emulators (prompted by question by
9153	  Andreas Henningsson, this is also related to Debian #230990).
9154	+ improve configure macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE to
9155	  avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin.
9156
915720050129
9158	+ merge remaining development changes for extended colors (mostly
9159	  complete, does not appear to break other configurations).
9160	+ add xterm-88color.dat (part of extended colors testing).
9161	+ improve _tracedump() handling of color pairs past 96.
9162	+ modify return-value from start_color() to return OK if colors have
9163	  already been started.
9164	+ modify curs_color.3x list error conditions for init_pair(),
9165	  pair_content() and color_content().
9166	+ modify pair_content() to return -1 for consistency with init_pair()
9167	  if it corresponds to the default-color.
9168	+ change internal representation of default-color to allow application
9169	  to use color number 255.  This does not affect the total number of
9170	  color pairs which are allowed.
9171	+ add a top-level tags rule.
9172
917320050122
9174	+ add a null-pointer check in wgetch() in case it is called without
9175	  first calling initscr().
9176	+ add some null-pointer checks for SP, which is not set by libtinfo.
9177	+ modify misc/shlib to ensure that absolute pathnames are used.
9178	+ modify test/Makefile.in, etc., to link test programs only against the
9179	  libraries needed, e.g., omit form/menu/panel library for the ones
9180	  that are curses-specific.
9181	+ change SP->_current_attr to a pointer, adjust ifdef's to ensure that
9182	  libtinfo.so and libtinfow.so have the same ABI.  The reason for this
9183	  is that the corresponding data which belongs to the upper-level
9184	  ncurses library has a different size in each model (report by
9185	  Stanislav Ievlev).
9186
918720050115
9188	+ minor fixes to allow test-compiles with g++.
9189	+ correct column value shown in tic's warnings, which did not account
9190	  for leading whitespace.
9191	+ add a check in _nc_trans_string() for improperly ended strings, i.e.,
9192	  where a following line begins in column 1.
9193	+ modify _nc_save_str() to return a null pointer on buffer overflow.
9194	+ improve repainting while scrolling wide-character data (Eungkyu Song).
9195
919620050108
9197	+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
9198
919920050101
9200	+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
9201	+ fix manpage typo (FreeBSD report docs/75544).
9202	+ update config.guess, config.sub
9203	> patches for configure script (Albert Chin-A-Young):
9204	+ improved fix to make mbstate_t recognized on HPUX 11i (cf:
9205	  20030705), making vsscanf() prototype visible on IRIX64.  Tested for
9206	  on HP-UX 11i, Solaris 7, 8, 9, AIX 4.3.3, 5.2, Tru64 UNIX 4.0D, 5.1,
9207	  IRIX64 6.5, Redhat Linux 7.1, 9, and RHEL 2.1, 3.0.
9208	+ print the result of the --disable-home-terminfo option.
9209	+ use -rpath when compiling with SGI C compiler.
9210
921120041225
9212	+ add trace calls to remaining public functions in form and menu
9213	  libraries.
9214	+ fix check for numeric digits in test/ncurses.c 'b' and 'B' tests.
9215	+ fix typo in test/ncurses.c 'c' test from 20041218.
9216
921720041218
9218	+ revise test/ncurses.c 'c' color test to improve use for xterm-88color
9219	  and xterm-256color, added 'C' test using the wide-character color_set
9220	  and attr_set functions.
9221
922220041211
9223	+ modify configure script to work with Intel compiler.
9224	+ fix an limit-check in wadd_wchnstr() which caused labels in the
9225	  forms-demo to be one character short.
9226	+ fix typo in curs_addchstr.3x (Jared Yanovich).
9227	+ add trace calls to most functions in form and menu libraries.
9228	+ update working-position for adding wide-characters when window is
9229	  scrolled (prompted by related report by Eungkyu Song).
9230
923120041204
9232	+ replace some references on Linux to wcrtomb() which use it to obtain
9233	  the length of a multibyte string with _nc_wcrtomb, since wcrtomb() is
9234	  broken in glibc (see Debian #284260).
9235	+ corrected length-computation in wide-character support for
9236	  field_buffer().
9237	+ some fixes to frm_driver.c to allow it to accept multibyte input.
9238	+ modify configure script to work with Intel 8.0 compiler.
9239
924020041127
9241	+ amend change to setupterm() in 20030405 which would reuse the value
9242	  of cur_term if the same output was selected.  This now reuses it only
9243	  when setupterm() is called from tgetent(), which has no notion of
9244	  separate SCREENs.  Note that tgetent() must be called after initscr()
9245	  or newterm() to use this feature (Redhat #140326).
9246	+ add a check in CF_BUILD_CC macro to ensure that developer has given
9247	  the --with-build-cc option when cross-compiling (report by Alexandre
9248	  Campo).
9249	+ improved configure script checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE and
9250	  _POSIX_C_SOURCE (fix for IRIX 5.3 from Georg Schwarz, _POSIX_C_SOURCE
9251	  updates from lynx).
9252	+ cosmetic fix to test/gdc.c to recolor the bottom edge of the box
9253	  for consistency (comment by Dan Nelson).
9254
925520041120
9256	+ update wsvt25 terminfo entry -TD
9257	+ modify test/ins_wide.c to test all flavors of ins_wstr().
9258	+ ignore filler-cells in wadd_wchnstr() when adding a cchar_t array
9259	  which consists of multi-column characters, since this function
9260	  constructs them (cf: 20041023).
9261	+ modify winnstr() to return multibyte character strings for the
9262	  wide-character configuration.
9263
926420041106
9265	+ fixes to make slk_set() and slk_wset() accept and store multibyte
9266	  or multicolumn characters.
9267
926820041030
9269	+ improve color optimization a little by making _nc_do_color() check
9270	  if the old/new pairs are equivalent to the default pair 0.
9271	+ modify assume_default_colors() to not require that
9272	  use_default_colors() be called first.
9273
927420041023
9275	+ modify term_attrs() to use termattrs(), add the extended attributes
9276	  such as enter_horizontal_hl_mode for WA_HORIZONTAL to term_attrs().
9277	+ add logic in waddch_literal() to clear orphaned cells when one
9278	  multi-column character partly overwrites another.
9279	+ improved logic for clearing cells when a multi-column character
9280	  must be wrapped to a new line.
9281	+ revise storage of cells for multi-column characters to correct a
9282	  problem with repainting.  In the old scheme, it was possible for
9283	  doupdate() to decide that only part of a multi-column character
9284	  should be repainted since the filler cells stored only an attribute
9285	  to denote them as fillers, rather than the character value and the
9286	  attribute.
9287
928820041016
9289	+ minor fixes for traces.
9290	+ add SP->_screen_acs_map[], used to ensure that mapping of missing
9291	  line-drawing characters is handled properly.  For example, ACS_DARROW
9292	  is absent from xterm-new, and it was coincidentally displayed the
9293	  same as ACS_BTEE.
9294
929520041009
9296	+ amend 20021221 workaround for broken acs to reset the sgr, rmacs
9297	  and smacs strings as well.  Also modify the check for screen's
9298	  limitations in that area to allow the multi-character shift-in
9299	  and shift-out which seem to work.
9300	+ change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it dynamically
9301	  at runtime (Debian #110586).
9302
930320041002
9304	+ correct logic for color pair in setcchar() and getcchar() (patch by
9305	  Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
9306	+ add t/T commands to ncurses b/B tests to allow a different color to
9307	  be tested for the attrset part of the test than is used in the
9308	  background color.
9309
931020040925
9311	+ fix to make setcchar() to work when its wchar_t* parameter is
9312	  pointing to a string which contains more data than can be converted.
9313	+ modify wget_wstr() and example in ncurses.c to work if wchar_t and
9314	  wint_t are different sizes (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
9315
931620040918
9317	+ remove check in wget_wch() added to fix an infinite loop, appears to
9318	  have been working around a transitory glibc bug, and interferes
9319	  with normal operation (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
9320	+ correct wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not pass the rendition
9321	  information (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
9322	+ fix aclocal.m4 so that the wide-character version of ncurses gets
9323	  compiled as libncursesw.5.dylib, instead of libncurses.5w.dylib
9324	  (adapted from patch by James J Ramsey).
9325	+ change configure script for --with-caps option to indicate that it
9326	  is no longer experimental.
9327	+ change configure script to reflect the fact that --enable-widec has
9328	  not been "experimental" since 5.3 (report by Bruno Lustosa).
9329
933020040911
9331	+ add 'B' test to ncurses.c, to exercise some wide-character functions.
9332
933320040828
9334	+ modify infocmp -i option to match 8-bit controls against its table
9335	  entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry.
9336	+ add morphos terminfo entry, improve amiga-8bit entry (Pavel Fedin).
9337	+ correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap, e.g.,
9338	  using "tic -C" (Redhat #130921).
9339	+ modified configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to ensure that if
9340	  it defines _POSIX_C_SOURCE, that it defines it to a specific value
9341	  (comp.os.stratus newsgroup comment).
9342
934320040821
9344	+ fixes to build with Ada95 binding with gnat 3.4 (all warnings are
9345	  fatal, and gnat does not follow the guidelines for pragmas).
9346	  However that did find a coding error in Assume_Default_Colors().
9347	+ modify several terminfo entries to ensure xterm mouse and cursor
9348	  visibility are reset in rs2 string:  hurd, putty, gnome,
9349	  konsole-base, mlterm, Eterm, screen (Debian #265784, Debian #55637).
9350	  The xterm entries are left alone - old ones for compatibility, and
9351	  the new ones do not require this change. -TD
9352
935320040814
9354	+ fake a SIGWINCH in newterm() to accommodate buggy terminal emulators
9355	  and window managers (Debian #265631).
9356	> terminfo updates -TD
9357	+ remove dch/dch1 from rxvt because they are implemented inconsistently
9358	  with the common usage of bce/ech
9359	+ remove khome from vt220 (vt220's have no home key)
9360	+ add rxvt+pcfkeys
9361
936220040807
9363	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test, adding v/V toggles to cycle through
9364	  combinations of video attributes so that for instance bold and
9365	  underline can be tested.  This made the legend too crowded, added
9366	  a help window as well.
9367	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test to cycle through default colors if
9368	  the -d option is set.
9369	+ update putty terminfo entry (Robert de Bath).
9370
937120040731
9372	+ modify test/cardfile.c to allow it to read more data than can be
9373	  displayed.
9374	+ correct logic in resizeterm.c which kept it from processing all
9375	  levels of window hierarchy (reports by Folkert van Heusden,
9376	  Chris Share).
9377
937820040724
9379	+ modify "tic -cv" to ignore delays when comparing strings.  Also
9380	  modify it to ignore a canceled sgr string, e.g., for terminals which
9381	  cannot properly combine attributes in one control sequence.
9382	+ corrections for gnome and konsole entries (Redhat #122815, patch by
9383	  Hans de Goede)
9384	> terminfo updates -TD
9385	+ make ncsa-m rmacs/smacs consistent with sgr
9386	+ add sgr, rc/sc and ech to syscons entries
9387	+ add function-keys to decansi
9388	+ add sgr to mterm-ansi
9389	+ add sgr, civis, cnorm to emu
9390	+ correct/simplify cup in addrinfo
9391
939220040717
9393	> terminfo updates -TD
9394	+ add xterm-pc-fkeys
9395	+ review/update gnome and gnome-rh90 entries (prompted by Redhat
9396	  #122815).
9397	+ review/update konsole entries
9398	+ add sgr, correct sgr0 for kterm and mlterm
9399	+ correct tsl string in kterm
9400
940120040711
9402	+ add configure option --without-xterm-new
9403
940420040710
9405	+ add check in wget_wch() for printable bytes that are not part of a
9406	  multibyte character.
9407	+ modify wadd_wchnstr() to render text using window's background
9408	  attributes.
9409	+ improve tic's check to compare sgr and sgr0.
9410	+ fix c++ directory's .cc.i rule.
9411	+ modify logic in tgetent() which adjusts the termcap "me" string
9412	  to work with ISO-2022 string used in xterm-new (cf: 20010908).
9413	+ modify tic's check for conflicting function keys to omit that if
9414	  converting termcap to termcap format.
9415	+ add -U option to tic and infocmp.
9416	+ add rmam/smam to linux terminfo entry (Trevor Van Bremen)
9417	> terminfo updates -TD
9418	+ minor fixes for emu
9419	+ add emu-220
9420	+ change wyse acsc strings to use 'i' map rather than 'I'
9421	+ fixes for avatar0
9422	+ fixes for vp3a+
9423
942420040703
9425	+ use tic -x to install terminfo database -TD
9426	+ add -x to infocmp's usage message.
9427	+ correct field used for comparing O_ROWMAJOR in set_menu_format()
9428	  (report/patch by Tony Li).
9429	+ fix a missing nul check in set_field_buffer() from 20040508 changes.
9430	> terminfo updates -TD
9431	  + make xterm-xf86-v43 derived from xterm-xf86-v40 rather than
9432	    xterm-basic -TD
9433	  + align with xterm patch #192's use of xterm-new -TD
9434	  + update xterm-new and xterm-8bit for cvvis/cnorm strings -TD
9435	  + make xterm-new the default "xterm" entry -TD
9436
943720040626
9438	+ correct BUILD_CPPFLAGS substitution in ncurses/Makefile.in, to allow
9439	  cross-compiling from a separate directory tree (report/patch by
9440	  Dan Engel).
9441	+ modify is_term_resized() to ensure that window sizes are nonzero,
9442	  as documented in the manpage (report by Ian Collier).
9443	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro to make Hurd port build
9444	  (Debian #249214, report/patch by Jeff Bailey).
9445	+ configure-script mods from xterm, e.g., updates to CF_ADD_CFLAGS
9446	+ update config.guess, config.sub
9447	> terminfo updates -TD
9448	  + add mlterm
9449	  + add xterm-xf86-v44
9450	  + modify xterm-new aka xterm-xfree86 to accommodate luit, which
9451	    relies on G1 being used via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (report by
9452	    Juliusz Chroboczek)
9453	  + add 'hurd' entry
9454
945520040619
9456	+ reconsidered winsnstr(), decided after comparing other
9457	  implementations that wrapping is an X/Open documentation error.
9458	+ modify test/inserts.c to test all flavors of insstr().
9459
946020040605
9461	+ add setlocale() calls to a few test programs which may require it:
9462	  demo_forms.c, filter.c, ins_wide.c, inserts.c
9463	+ correct a few misspelled function names in ncurses-intro.html (report
9464	  by Tony Li).
9465	+ correct internal name of key_defined() manpage, which conflicted with
9466	  define_key().
9467
946820040529
9469	+ correct size of internal pad used for holding wide-character
9470	  field_buffer() results.
9471	+ modify data_ahead() to work with wide-characters.
9472
947320040522
9474	+ improve description of terminfo if-then-else expressions (suggested
9475	  by Arne Thomassen).
9476	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'd' test, allow it to use external file for
9477	  initial palette (added xterm-16color.dat and linux-color.dat), and
9478	  reset colors to the initial palette when starting/ending the test.
9479	+ change limit-check in init_color() to allow r/g/b component to
9480	  reach 1000 (cf: 20020928).
9481
948220040516
9483	+ modify form library to use cchar_t's rather than char's in the
9484	  wide-character configuration for storing data for field buffers.
9485	+ correct logic of win_wchnstr(), which did not work for more than
9486	  one cell.
9487
948820040508
9489	+ replace memset/memcpy usage in form library with for-loops to
9490	  simplify changing the datatype of FIELD.buf, part of wide-character
9491	  changes.
9492	+ fix some inconsistent use of #if/#ifdef (report by Alain Guibert).
9493
949420040501
9495	+ modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by
9496	  multibyte character strings, in the wide-character configuration
9497	  (adapted from patch by Philipp Tomsich).
9498	+ add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F"
9499	  comparisons.  This modifies infocmp to only report extended
9500	  capabilities if the -x option is given, making this more consistent
9501	  with tic.  Some scripts may break, since infocmp previous gave this
9502	  information without an option.
9503	+ modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the beginning
9504	  of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic.
9505
950620040424
9507	+ minor compiler-warning and test-program fixes.
9508
950920040417
9510	+ modify tic's missing-sgr warning to apply to terminfo only.
9511	+ free some memory leaks in tic.
9512	+ remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending
9513	  beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner).
9514	+ remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
9515	  that extend beyond the screen.  Solaris curses does this.
9516	+ add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older
9517	  curses.
9518	+ add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog.
9519
952020040403
9521	+ modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond
9522	  to an unsigned char.
9523	+ add some limit-checks to guard isprint(), etc., from being used on
9524	  values that do not fit into an unsigned char (report by Sami Farin).
9525
952620040328
9527	+ fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change.
9528
952920040327
9530	+ modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's
9531	  current locale rather than using getenv().  This fixes a case in tin
9532	  which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale
9533	  is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen).
9534	+ add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD.
9535	+ add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr
9536	  string.  This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with
9537	  color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places.
9538	+ correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the
9539	  original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before
9540	  20030802 (Debian #237629).
9541
954220040320
9543	+ modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of
9544	  A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from
9545	  being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the
9546	  raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879).
9547
954820040313
9549	+ fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report
9550	  by Jim Idle).
9551	+ remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses
9552	  some apropos script (Debian #237831).
9553
955420040306
9555	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text,
9556	  set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing
9557	  mode is shown in that test.
9558	+ change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake.
9559	+ correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which
9560	  did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419).
9561
956220040228
9563	+ modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a
9564	  multibyte string.
9565	+ split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it.  X/Open states
9566	  that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other
9567	  insert-functions.  Currently it does not wrap.
9568	+ check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by
9569	  Stanislav Ievlev).
9570	+ split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first.
9571	+ fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC,
9572	  which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report
9573	  by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev).
9574
957520040221
9576	+ some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete
9577	  (request by Mike Aubury).
9578	+ add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of
9579	  stdbool.h, e.g.,
9580		#define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0
9581		#include <curses.h>
9582	  (discussion on XFree86 mailing list).
9583
958420040214
9585	+ modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets
9586	  the name of the terminfo library.  This would allow a packager to
9587	  build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion
9588	  with Stanislav Ievlev).
9589	+ improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and
9590	  $(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew).
9591	+ add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename
9592	  its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to
9593	  ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory
9594	  (prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs).
9595
959620040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
9597	+ update TO-DO.
9598
959920040207 pre-release
9600	+ minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param,
9601	  and do not count %d if it follows a %p.
9602	+ correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255
9603	  range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests.  In POSIX
9604	  locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former
9605	  did.
9606	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac
9607	  OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix
9608	  verified by Scott Corscadden).
9609
961020040131 pre-release
9611	+ modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors
9612	  to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo
9613	  (patch by Stanislav Ievlev).
9614	+ document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage.
9615	+ document special features of unctrl() in manpage.
9616	+ documented interface changes in INSTALL.
9617	+ corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale
9618	  (Debian #230335, cf: 971206).
9619	+ updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
9620	+ fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package.
9621	+ minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5.
9622
962320040125 pre-release
9624	+ amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number
9625	  of cells for a possibly multi-cell character.  The 20030614 change
9626	  forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not
9627	  greater than zero.  However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the
9628	  range 128-255 can give this return value.  The logic now simply
9629	  ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without
9630	  modifying the displayed value.
9631
963220040124 pre-release
9633	+ looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above)
9634	+ modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since
9635	  that works better for cross-compiling.
9636
963720040117 pre-release
9638	+ modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
9639	  work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
9640	  zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
9641	+ add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
9642	  to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
9643	+ add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
9644	+ add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
9645	  Bianchi).
9646	+ modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
9647	  (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz (see Debian
9648	  #227586)).
9649	+ correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
9650	  exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss (see Debian #224443)).
9651	+ modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
9652	+ remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
9653	+ make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
9654	+ improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
9655	  CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
9656	+ add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
9657	  simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
9658	+ add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
9659	  patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
9660	+ fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
9661	  HPUX .so/.sl case.
9662	+ resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
9663	  NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
9664	+ make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
9665	  will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
9666	+ rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool.  The
9667	  intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
9668	  compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
9669	  does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).
9670
967120040110 pre-release
9672	+ change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4
9673	+ revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W
9674	  Sittler).
9675	+ simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the
9676	  configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav
9677	  Ievlev).
9678	+ remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav
9679	  Ievlev).
9680	+ modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs
9681	  such as tic are not linked with the upper-level ncurses library
9682	  (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
9683	+ move version.c from ncurses/base to ncurses/tinfo to allow linking
9684	  of tic, etc., using libtinfo (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
9685
968620040103
9687	+ adjust -D's to build ncursesw on OpenBSD.
9688	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT to make OS/2 build with EXEEXT.
9689	+ add pecho_wchar().
9690	+ remove <wctype.h> include from lib_slk_wset.c which is not needed (or
9691	  available) on older platforms.
9692
969320031227
9694	+ add -D's to build ncursew on FreeBSD 5.1.
9695	+ modify shared library configuration for FreeBSD 4.x/5.x to add the
9696	  soname information (request by Marc Glisse).
9697	+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() to not use MAX_ALIAS, but PATH_MAX only
9698	  for limiting the length of a filename in the terminfo database.
9699	+ modify termname() to return the terminal name used by setupterm()
9700	  rather than $TERM, without truncating to 14 characters as documented
9701	  by X/Open (report by Stanislav Ievlev, cf:  970719).
9702	+ re-add definition for _BSD_TYPES, lost in merge (cf: 20031206).
9703
970420031220
9705	+ add configure option --with-manpage-format=catonly to address
9706	  behavior of BSDI, allow install of man+cat files on NetBSD, whose
9707	  behavior has diverged by requiring both to be present.
9708	+ remove leading blanks from comment-lines in manlinks.sed script to
9709	  work with Tru64 4.0d.
9710	+ add screen.linux terminfo entry (discussion on mutt-users mailing
9711	  list).
9712
971320031213
9714	+ add a check for tic to flag missing backslashes for termcap
9715	  continuation lines.  ncurses reads the whole entry, but termcap
9716	  applications do not.
9717	+ add configure option "--with-manpage-aliases" extending
9718	  "--with-manpage-aliases" to provide the option of generating ".so"
9719	  files rather than symbolic links for manpage aliases.
9720	+ add bool definition in include/curses.h.in for configurations with no
9721	  usable C++ compiler (cf: 20030607).
9722	+ fix pathname of SigAction.h for building with --srcdir (reported by
9723	  Mike Castle).
9724
972520031206
9726	+ folded ncurses/base/sigaction.c into includes of ncurses/SigAction.h,
9727	  since that header is used only within ncurses/tty/lib_tstp.c, for
9728	  non-POSIX systems (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev).
9729	+ remove obsolete _nc_outstr() function (report by Stanislav Ievlev
9730	  <inger@altlinux.org>).
9731	+ add test/background.c and test/color_set.c
9732	+ modify color_set() function to work with color pair 0 (report by
9733	  George Andreou <gbandreo@tem.uoc.gr>).
9734	+ add configure option --with-trace, since defining TRACE seems too
9735	  awkward for some cases.
9736	+ remove a call to _nc_free_termtype() from read_termtype(), since the
9737	  corresponding buffer contents were already zeroed by a memset (cf:
9738	  20000101).
9739	+ improve configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and related definitions,
9740	  adding special cases for Solaris' __EXTENSIONS__ and FreeBSD's
9741	  __BSD_TYPES (reports by Marc Glisse <marc.glisse@normalesup.org>).
9742	+ small fixes to compile on Solaris and IRIX64 using cc.
9743	+ correct typo in check for pre-POSIX sort options in MKkey_defs.sh
9744	  (cf: 20031101).
9745
974620031129
9747	+ modify _nc_gettime() to avoid a problem with arithmetic on unsigned
9748	  values (Philippe Blain).
9749	+ improve the nanosleep() logic in napms() by checking for EINTR and
9750	  restarting (Philippe Blain).
9751	+ correct expression for "%D" in lib_tgoto.c (Juha Jarvi
9752	  <mooz@welho.com>).
9753
975420031122
9755	+ add linux-vt terminfo entry (Andrey V Lukyanov <land@long.yar.ru>).
9756	+ allow "\|" escape in terminfo; tic should not warn about this.
9757	+ save the full pathname of the trace-file the first time it is opened,
9758	  to avoid creating it in different directories if the application
9759	  opens and closes it while changing its working directory.
9760	+ modify configure script to provide a non-empty default for
9761	  $BROKEN_LINKER
9762
976320031108
9764	+ add DJGPP to special case of DOS-style drive letters potentially
9765	  appearing in TERMCAP environment variable.
9766	+ fix some spelling in comments (reports by Jason McIntyre, Jonathon
9767	  Gray).
9768	+ update config.guess, config.sub
9769
977020031101
9771	+ fix a memory leak in error-return from setupterm() (report by
9772	  Stanislav Ievlev <inger@altlinux.org>).
9773	+ use EXEEXT and OBJEXT consistently in makefiles.
9774	+ amend fixes for cross-compiling to use separate executable-suffix
9775	  BUILD_EXEEXT (cf: 20031018).
9776	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for sort utility that does not
9777	  recognize key options, e.g., busybox (report by Peter S Mazinger
9778	  <ps.m@gmx.net>).
9779	+ fix potential out-of-bounds indexing in _nc_infotocap() (found by
9780	  David Krause using some of the new malloc debugging features
9781	  under OpenBSD, patch by Ted Unangst).
9782	+ modify CF_LIB_SUFFIX for Itanium releases of HP-UX, which use a
9783	  ".so" suffix (patch by Jonathan Ward <Jonathan.Ward@hp.com>).
9784
978520031025
9786	+ update terminfo for xterm-xfree86 -TD
9787	+ add check for multiple "tc=" clauses in a termcap to tic.
9788	+ check for missing op/oc in tic.
9789	+ correct _nc_resolve_uses() and _nc_merge_entry() to allow infocmp and
9790	  tic to show cancelled capabilities.  These functions were ignoring
9791	  the state of the target entry, which should be untouched if cancelled.
9792	+ correct comment in tack/output.c (Debian #215806).
9793	+ add some null-pointer checks to lib_options.c (report by Michael
9794	  Bienia).
9795	+ regenerated html documentation.
9796	+ correction to tar-copy.sh, remove a trap command that resulted in
9797	  leaving temporary files (cf: 20030510).
9798	+ remove contact/maintainer addresses for Juergen Pfeifer (his request).
9799
980020031018
9801	+ updated test/configure to reflect changes for libtool (cf: 20030830).
9802	+ fix several places in tack/pad.c which tested and used the parameter-
9803	  and parameterless strings inconsistently, i.e., in pad_rin(),
9804	  pad_il(), pad_indn() and pad_dl() (Debian #215805).
9805	+ minor fixes for configure script and makefiles to cleanup executables
9806	  generated when cross-compiling for DJGPP.
9807	+ modify infocmp to omit check for $TERM for operations that do not
9808	  require it, e.g., "infocmp -e" used to build fallback list (report by
9809	  Egmont Koblinger).
9810
981120031004
9812	+ add terminfo entries for DJGPP.
9813	+ updated note about maintainer in ncurses-intro.html
9814
981520030927
9816	+ update terminfo entries for gnome terminal.
9817	+ modify tack to reset colors after each color test, correct a place
9818	  where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode.
9819	+ improve tack's bce test by making it set colors other than black
9820	  on white.
9821	+ plug a potential recursion between napms() and _nc_timed_wait()
9822	  (report by Philippe Blain).
9823
982420030920
9825	+ add --with-rel-version option to allow workaround to allow making
9826	  libtool on Darwin generate the "same" library names as with the
9827	  --with-shared option.  The Darwin ld program does not work well
9828	  with a zero as the minor-version value (request by Chris Zubrzycki).
9829	+ modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro to work with cross-compiling.
9830	+ modify tack to allow it to run from fallback terminfo data.
9831	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9832	+ improve PutRange() by adjusting call to EmitRange() and corresponding
9833	  return-value to not emit unchanged characters on the end of the
9834	  range.
9835	+ improve a check for changed-attribute by exiting a loop when the
9836	  change is found.
9837	+ improve logic in TransformLine(), eliminating a duplicated comparison
9838	  in the clr_bol logic.
9839
984020030913
9841	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9842	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
9843	  move the label 'nonlocal' just before the second gettimeofday() to
9844	  be able to compute the diff time when 'goto nonlocal' used.
9845	  Rename 'msec' to 'microsec' in the debug-message.
9846	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
9847	  Use _nc_outch() in carriage return/newline movement instead of
9848	  putchar() which goes to stdout.  Move test for xold>0 out of loop.
9849	+ in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c,
9850	  Set the flag SP->_buffered at the end of operations when all has been
9851	  successful (typeMalloc can fail).
9852	+ simplify NC_BUFFERED macro by moving check inside _nc_setbuf().
9853
985420030906
9855	+ modify configure script to avoid using "head -1", which does not
9856	  work if POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set.
9857	+ modify run_tic.in to avoid using wrong shared libraries when
9858	  cross-compiling (Dan Kegel).
9859
986020030830
9861	+ alter configure script help message to make it clearer that
9862	  --with-build-cc does not specify a cross-compiler (suggested by Dan
9863	  Kegel <dank@kegel.com>).
9864	+ modify configure script to accommodate libtool 1.5, as well as add an
9865	  parameter to the "--with-libtool" option which can specify the
9866	  pathname of libtool (report by Chris Zubrzycki).  We note that
9867	  libtool 1.5 has more than one bug in its C++ support, so it is not
9868	  able to install libncurses++, for instance, if $DESTDIR or the option
9869	  --with-install-prefix is used.
9870
987120030823
9872	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9873	+ move assignments to SP->_cursrow, SP->_curscol into online_mvcur().
9874	+ make baudrate computation in delay_output() consistent with the
9875	  assumption in _nc_mvcur_init(), i.e., a byte is 9 bits.
9876
987720030816
9878	+ modify logic in waddch_literal() to take into account zh_TW.Big5
9879	  whose multibyte sequences may contain "printable" characters, e.g.,
9880	  a "g" in the sequence "\247g" (Debian #204889, cf: 20030621).
9881	+ improve storage used by _nc_safe_strcpy() by ensuring that the size
9882	  is reset based on the initialization call, in case it were called
9883	  after other strcpy/strcat calls (report by Philippe Blain).
9884	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9885	+ remove an unused ifdef for REAL_ATTR & WANT_CHAR
9886	+ correct a place where _cup_cost was used rather than _cuu_cost
9887
988820030809
9889	+ fix a small memory leak in _nc_free_termtype().
9890	+ close trace-file if trace() is called with a zero parameter.
9891	+ free memory allocated for soft-key strings, in delscreen().
9892	+ fix an allocation size in safe_sprintf.c for the "*" format code.
9893	+ correct safe_sprintf.c to not return a null pointer if the format
9894	  happens to be an empty string.  This applies to the "configure
9895	  --enable-safe-sprintf" option (Redhat #101486).
9896
989720030802
9898	+ modify casts used for ABSENT_BOOLEAN and CANCELLED_BOOLEAN (report by
9899	  Daniel Jacobowitz).
9900	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9901	+ change padding for change_scroll_region to not be proportional to
9902	  the size of the scroll-region.
9903	+ correct error-return in _nc_safe_strcat().
9904
990520030726
9906	+ correct limit-checks in _nc_scroll_window() (report and test-case by
9907	  Thomas Graf <graf@dms.at> cf: 20011020).
9908	+ re-order configure checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE to avoid conflict with
9909	  _GNU_SOURCE check.
9910
991120030719
9912	+ use clr_eol in preference to blanks for bce terminals, so select and
9913	  paste will have fewer trailing blanks, e.g., when using xterm
9914	  (request by Vincent Lefevre).
9915	+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
9916	+ add configure --with-abi-version option (discussion with Charles
9917	  Wilson).
9918	> cygwin changes from Charles Wilson:
9919	  + aclocal.m4: on cygwin, use autodetected prefix for import
9920	    and static lib, but use "cyg" for DLL.
9921	  + include/ncurses_dll.h: correct the comments to reflect current
9922	    status of cygwin/mingw port.  Fix compiler warning.
9923	  + misc/run_tic.in: ensure that tic.exe can find the uninstalled
9924	    DLL, by adding the lib-directory to the PATH variable.
9925	  + misc/terminfo.src (nxterm|xterm-color): make xterm-color
9926	    primary instead of nxterm, to match XFree86's xterm.terminfo
9927	    usage and to prevent circular links.
9928	    (rxvt): add additional codes from rxvt.org.
9929	    (rxvt-color): new alias
9930	    (rxvt-xpm): new alias
9931	    (rxvt-cygwin): like rxvt, but with special acsc codes.
9932	    (rxvt-cygwin-native): ditto.  rxvt may be run under XWindows, or
9933	    with a "native" MSWin GUI.	Each takes different acsc codes,
9934	    which are both different from the "normal" rxvt's acsc.
9935	    (cygwin): cygwin-in-cmd.exe window.	 Lots of fixes.
9936	    (cygwinDBG): ditto.
9937	  + mk-1st.awk: use "cyg" for the DLL prefix, but "lib" for import
9938	    and static libs.
9939
994020030712
9941	+ update config.guess, config.sub
9942	+ add triples for configuring shared libraries with the Debian
9943	  GNU/FreeBSD packages (patch by Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>).
9944
994520030705
9946	+ modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS so it only applies to gcc, not g++.  Some
9947	  platforms have installed g++ along with the native C compiler, which
9948	  would not accept gcc warning options.
9949	+ add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 when configuring with --enable-widec, to
9950	  get mbstate_t declaration on HPUX 11.11 (report by David Ellement).
9951	+ add _nc_pathlast() to get rid of casts in _nc_basename() calls.
9952	+ correct a sign-extension in wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() from
9953	  20030628 (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
9954	+ work around omission of btowc() and wctob() from wide-character
9955	  support (sic) in NetBSD 1.6 using mbtowc() and wctomb() (report by
9956	  Gabor Z Papp).
9957	+ add portability note to curs_get_wstr.3x (Debian #199957).
9958
995920030628
9960	+ rewrite wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to call waddch() and wechochar()
9961	  respectively, to avoid calling waddch_noecho() with wide-character
9962	  data, since that function assumes its input is 8-bit data.
9963	  Similarly, modify waddnwstr() to call wadd_wch().
9964	+ remove logic from waddnstr() which transformed multibyte character
9965	  strings into wide-characters.  Rewrite of waddch_literal() from
9966	  20030621 assumes its input is raw multibyte data rather than wide
9967	  characters (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
9968
996920030621
9970	+ write getyx() and related 2-return macros in terms of getcury(),
9971	  getcurx(), etc.
9972	+ modify waddch_literal() in case an application passes bytes of a
9973	  multibyte character directly to waddch().  In this case, waddch()
9974	  must reassemble the bytes into a wide-character (report by Tomohiro
9975	  Kubota <kubota@debian.org>).
9976
997720030614
9978	+ modify waddch_literal() in case a multibyte value occupies more than
9979	  two cells.
9980	+ modify PutAttrChar() to compute the number of character cells that
9981	  are used in multibyte values.  This fixes a problem displaying
9982	  double-width characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen
9983	  <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
9984	+ add a null-pointer check for result of keyname() in _tracechar()
9985	+ modify _tracechar() to work around glibc sprintf bug.
9986
998720030607
9988	+ add a call to setlocale() in cursesmain.cc, making demo display
9989	  properly in a UTF-8 locale.
9990	+ add a fallback definition in curses.priv.h for MB_LEN_MAX (prompted
9991	  by discussion with Gabor Z Papp).
9992	+ use macros NCURSES_ACS() and NCURSES_WACS() to hide cast needed to
9993	  appease -Wchar-subscript with g++ 3.3 (Debian #195732).
9994	+ fix a redefinition of $RANLIB in the configure script when libtool
9995	  is used, which broke configure on Mac OS X (report by Chris Zubrzycki
9996	  <beren@mac.com>).
9997	+ simplify ifdef for bool declaration in curses.h.in (suggested by
9998	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
9999	+ remove configure script check to allow -Wconversion for older
10000	  versions of gcc (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young).
10001
1000220030531
10003	+ regenerated html manpages.
10004	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in that disabled use of __attribute__()
10005	  for g++, since recent versions implement the cases which ncurses uses
10006	  (Debian #195230).
10007	+ modify _nc_get_token() to handle a case where an entry has no
10008	  description, and capabilities begin on the same line as the entry
10009	  name.
10010	+ fix a typo in ncurses_dll.h reported by gcc 3.3.
10011	+ add an entry for key_defined.3x to man_db.renames.
10012
1001320030524
10014	+ modify setcchar() to allow converting control characters to complex
10015	  characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
10016	+ add tkterm entry -TD
10017	+ modify parse_entry.c to allow a terminfo entry with a leading
10018	  2-character name (report by Don Libes).
10019	+ corrected acsc in screen.teraterm, which requires a PC-style mapping.
10020	+ fix trace statements in read_entry.c to use lseek() rather than
10021	  tell().
10022	+ fix signed/unsigned warnings from Sun's compiler (gcc should give
10023	  these warnings, but it is unpredictable).
10024	+ modify configure script to omit -Winline for gcc 3.3, since that
10025	  feature is broken.
10026	+ modify manlinks.sed to add a few functions that were overlooked since
10027	  they return function pointers:  field_init, field_term, form_init,
10028	  form_term, item_init, item_term, menu_init and menu_term.
10029
1003020030517
10031	+ prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot
10032	  be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report
10033	  by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.com>).
10034	+ change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted
10035	  by Debian #192860).
10036	+ add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there
10037	  are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the
10038	  current test programs.
10039	+ corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not
10040	  convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it.
10041	+ corrections to lib_get_wstr.c:
10042	  + null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally
10043	    failed.
10044	  + map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into
10045	    key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not
10046	    mentioned in the terminfo.
10047	+ modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line
10048	  drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221).
10049
1005020030510
10051	+ make typography for program options in manpages consistent (report
10052	  by Miloslav Trmac <mitr@volny.cz>).
10053	+ correct dependencies in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, so the builds with
10054	  "--srcdir" work (report by Warren L Dodge).
10055	+ correct missing definition of $(CC) in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in
10056	  (reported by Warren L Dodge <warrend@mdhost.cse.tek.com>).
10057	+ fix typos and whitespace in manpages (patch by Jason McIntyre
10058	  <jmc@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl>).
10059
1006020030503
10061	+ fix form_driver() cases for REQ_CLR_EOF, REQ_CLR_EOL, REQ_DEL_CHAR,
10062	  REQ_DEL_PREV and REQ_NEW_LINE, which did not ensure the cursor was at
10063	  the editing position before making modifications.
10064	+ add test/demo_forms and associated test/edit_field.c demos.
10065	+ modify test/configure.in to use test/modules for the list of objects
10066	  to compile rather than using the list of programs.
10067
1006820030419
10069	+ modify logic of acsc to use the original character if no mapping is
10070	  defined, noting that Solaris does this.
10071	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to avoid using the acs_map[] array since
10072	  20021231 changes it to no longer contain information from the acsc
10073	  string.
10074	+ modify makefile rules in c++, progs, tack and test to ensure that
10075	  the compiler flags (e.g., $CFLAGS or $CCFLAGS) are used in the link
10076	  command (report by Jose Luis Rico Botella <informatica@serpis.com>).
10077	+ modify soft-key initialization to use A_REVERSE if A_STANDOUT would
10078	  not be shown when colors are used, i.e., if ncv#1 is set in the
10079	  terminfo as is done in "screen".
10080
1008120030412
10082	+ add a test for slk_color(), in ncurses.c
10083	+ fix some issues reported by valgrind in the slk_set() and slk_wset()
10084	  code, from recent rewrite.
10085	+ modify ncurses 'E' test to use show previous label via slk_label(),
10086	  as in 'e' test.
10087	+ modify wide-character versions of NewChar(), NewChar2() macros to
10088	  ensure that the whole struct is initialized.
10089
1009020030405
10091	+ modify setupterm() to check if the terminfo and terminal-modes have
10092	  already been read.  This ensures that it does not reinvoke
10093	  def_prog_mode() when an application calls more than one function,
10094	  such as tgetent() and initscr() (report by Olaf Buddenhagen).
10095
1009620030329
10097	+ add 'E' test to ncurses.c, to exercise slk_wset().
10098	+ correct handling of carriage-return in wgetn_wstr(), used in demo of
10099	  slk_wset().
10100	+ first draft of slk_wset() function.
10101
1010220030322
10103	+ improved warnings in tic when suppressing items to fit in termcap's
10104	  1023-byte limit.
10105	+ built a list in test/README showing which externals are being used
10106	  by either programs in the test-directory or via internal library
10107	  calls.
10108	+ adjust include-options in CF_ETIP_DEFINES to avoid missing
10109	  ncurses_dll.h, fixing special definitions that may be needed for
10110	  etip.h (reported by Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>).
10111
1011220030315
10113	+ minor fixes for cardfile.c, to make it write the updated fields to
10114	  a file when ^W is given.
10115	+ add/use _nc_trace_bufcat() to eliminate some fixed buffer limits in
10116	  trace code.
10117
1011820030308
10119	+ correct a case in _nc_remove_string(), used by define_key(), to avoid
10120	  infinite loop if the given string happens to be a substring of other
10121	  strings which are assigned to keys (report by John McCutchan).
10122	+ add key_defined() function, to tell which keycode a string is bound
10123	  to (discussion with John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org>).
10124	+ correct keybound(), which reported definitions in the wrong table,
10125	  i.e., the list of definitions which are disabled by keyok().
10126	+ modify demo_keydef.c to show the details it changes, and to check
10127	  for errors.
10128
1012920030301
10130	+ restructured test/configure script, make it work for libncursesw.
10131	+ add description of link_fieldtype() to manpage (report by
10132	  L Dee Holtsclaw <dee@sunbeltsoft.com>).
10133
1013420030222
10135	+ corrected ifdef's relating to configure check for wchar_t, etc.
10136	+ if the output is a socket or other non-tty device, use 1 millisecond
10137	  for the cost in mvcur; previously it was 9 milliseconds because the
10138	  baudrate was not known.
10139	+ in _nc_get_tty_mode(), initialize the TTY buffer on error, since
10140	  glibc copies uninitialized data in that case, as noted by valgrind.
10141	+ modify tput to use the same parameter analysis as tparm() does, to
10142	  provide for user-defined strings, e.g., for xterm title, a
10143	  corresponding capability might be
10144		title=\E]2;%p1%s^G,
10145	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid passing "#" tokens through the C
10146	  preprocessor.  This works around Mac OS X's preprocessor, which
10147	  insists on adding a blank on each side of the token (report/analysis
10148	  by Kevin Murphy <murphy@genome.chop.edu>).
10149
1015020030215
10151	+ add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely
10152	  on preprocessor definitions.  Also work around for gcc fixinclude
10153	  bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols
10154	  apparently typedef'd.
10155	+ if database is disabled, do not generate run_tic.sh
10156	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking when termcap is read.
10157
1015820030208
10159	+ add checking in tic for incomplete line-drawing character mapping.
10160	+ updated configure script to reflect fix for AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL,
10161	  which is broken in autoconf 2.5x for Mac OS X 10.2.3 (report by
10162	  Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl>).
10163	+ make return value from _nc_printf_string() consistent.  Before,
10164	  depending on whether --enable-safe-sprintf was used, it might not be
10165	  cached for reallocating.
10166
1016720030201
10168	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking in lib_tparm.c, hardscroll.c
10169	+ correct a potentially-uninitialized value if _read_termtype() does
10170	  not read as much data as expected (report by Wolfgang Rohdewald
10171	  <wr6@uni.de>).
10172	+ correct several places where the aclocal.m4 macros relied on cache
10173	  variable names which were incompatible (as usual) between autoconf
10174	  2.13 and 2.5x, causing the test for broken-linker to give incorrect
10175	  results (reports by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl> and Thomas Esser
10176	  <te@dbs.uni-hannover.de>).
10177	+ do not try to open gpm mouse driver if standard output is not a tty;
10178	  the gpm library does not make this check (bug report for dialog
10179	  by David Oliveira <davidoliveira@develop.prozone.ws>).
10180
1018120030125
10182	+ modified emx.src to correspond more closely to terminfo.src, added
10183	  emx-base to the latter -TD
10184	+ add configure option for FreeBSD sysmouse, --with-sysmouse, and
10185	  implement support for that in lib_mouse.c, lib_getch.c
10186
1018720030118
10188	+ revert 20030105 change to can_clear_with(), does not work for the
10189	  case where the update is made on cells which are blanks with
10190	  attributes, e.g., reverse.
10191	+ improve ifdef's to guard against redefinition of wchar_t and wint_t
10192	  in curses.h (report by Urs Jansen).
10193
1019420030111
10195	+ improve mvcur() by checking if it is safe to move when video
10196	  attributes are set (msgr), and if not, reset/restore attributes
10197	  within that function rather than doing it separately in the GoTo()
10198	  function in tty_update.c (suggested by Philippe Blain).
10199	+ add a message in run_tic.in to explain more clearly what does not
10200	  work when attempting to create a symbolic link for /usr/lib/terminfo
10201	  on OS/2 and other platforms with no symbolic links (report by John
10202	  Polterak).
10203	+ change several sed scripts to avoid using "\+" since it is not a BRE
10204	  (basic regular expression).  One instance caused terminfo.5 to be
10205	  misformatted on FreeBSD (report by Kazuo Horikawa
10206	  <horikawa@FreeBSD.org> (see FreeBSD docs/46709)).
10207	+ correct misspelled 'wint_t' in curs_get_wch.3x (Michael Elkins).
10208
1020920030105
10210	+ improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic
10211	  variables (comments by Mark I Manning IV <mark4th@earthlink.net>).
10212	+ demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to
10213	  use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a
10214	  specialized type for the middle initial/name.
10215	+ fix MKterminfo.sh, another workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature
10216	  of sed 4.0
10217	> patch by Philippe Blain:
10218	+ optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter
10219	  is indeed a "blank".
10220	+ simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear
10221	  sections as small as one line.
10222	+ improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying
10223	  to use it.
10224	+ use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since
10225	  the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines
10226	  affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region.
10227
1022820021231
10229	+ rewrite of lib_acs.c conflicts with copying of SCREEN acs_map to/from
10230	  global acs_map[] array; removed the lines that did the copying.
10231
1023220021228
10233	+ change some overlooked tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp()
10234	  (report by Philippe Blain).
10235	+ modify lib_getch.c to avoid recursion via wgetnstr() when the input
10236	  is not a tty and consequently mode-changes do not work (report by
10237	  <R.Chamberlin@querix.com>).
10238	+ rewrote lib_acs.c to allow PutAttrChar() to decide how to render
10239	  alternate-characters, i.e., to work with Linux console and UTF-8
10240	  locale.
10241	+ correct line/column reference in adjust_window(), needed to make
10242	  special windows such as curscr track properly when resizing (report
10243	  by Lucas Gonze <lgonze@panix.com>).
10244	> patch by Philippe Blain:
10245	+ correct the value used for blank in ClrBottom() (broken in 20000708).
10246	+ correct an off-by-one in GoTo() parameter in _nc_scrolln().
10247
1024820021221
10249	+ change several tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp(), to
10250	  enable padding which may be needed for some terminals (patch by
10251	  Philippe Blain).
10252	+ use '%' as sed substitute delimiter in run_tic script to avoid
10253	  problems with pathname delimiters such as ':' and '@' (report by John
10254	  Polterak).
10255	+ implement a workaround so that line-drawing works with screen's
10256	  crippled UTF-8 support (tested with 3.9.13).  This only works with
10257	  the wide-character support (--enable-widec); the normal library will
10258	  simply suppress line-drawing when running in a UTF-8 locale in screen.
10259
1026020021214
10261	+ allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
10262	  overridden from the environment.
10263	+ make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with
10264	  the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki).
10265	+ modify ncurses/modules to allow
10266		configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs
10267	  to build (report by Gary Samuelson).
10268	+ fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by
10269	  Gary Samuelson <gary.samuelson@verizon.com>).
10270	+ correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which
10271	  force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report
10272	  by Sam Varshavchik).
10273	+ small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which
10274	  gnatmake adds to its version-message.
10275	> Maciej W Rozycki <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>:
10276	+ use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross
10277	  compiling.
10278	+ use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
10279	  comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
10280	  traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.
10281	+ change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host"
10282	  when referring to the --with-build-XXX options.
10283
1028420021206
10285	+ modify CF_GNAT_VERSION to print gnatmake's version, and to allow for
10286	  possible gnat versions such as 3.2 (report by Chris Lingard
10287	  <chris@stockwith.co.uk>).
10288	+ modify #define's for CKILL and other default control characters in
10289	  tset to use the system's default values if they are defined.
10290	+ correct interchanged defaults for kill and interrupt characters
10291	  in tset, which caused it to report unnecessarily (Debian #171583).
10292	+ repair check for missing C++ compiler, which is broken in autoconf
10293	  2.5x by hardcoding it to g++ (report by Martin Mokrejs).
10294	+ update config.guess, config.sub (2002-11-30)
10295	+ modify configure script to skip --with-shared, etc., when the
10296	  --with-libtool option is given, since they would be ignored anyway.
10297	+ fix to allow "configure --with-libtool --with-termlib" to build.
10298	+ modify configure script to show version number of libtool, to help
10299	  with bug reports.  libtool still gets confused if the installed
10300	  ncurses libraries are old, since it ignores the -L options at some
10301	  point (tested with libtool 1.3.3 and 1.4.3).
10302	+ reorder configure script's updating of $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to
10303	  prevent -I options in the user's environment from introducing
10304	  conflicts with the build -I options (may be related to reports by
10305	  Patrick Ash and George Goffe).
10306	+ rename test/define_key.c to test/demo_defkey.c, test/keyok.c to
10307	  test/demo_keyok.c to allow building these with libtool.
10308
1030920021123
10310	+ add example program test/define_key.c for define_key().
10311	+ add example program test/keyok.c for keyok().
10312	+ add example program test/ins_wide.c for wins_wch() and wins_wstr().
10313	+ modify wins_wch() and wins_wstr() to interpret tabs by using the
10314	  winsch() internal function.
10315	+ modify setcchar() to allow for wchar_t input strings that have
10316	  more than one spacing character.
10317
1031820021116
10319	+ fix a boundary check in lib_insch.c (patch by Philippe Blain).
10320	+ change type for *printw functions from NCURSES_CONST to const
10321	  (prompted by comment by Pedro Palhoto Matos <plpm@mega.ist.utl.pt>,
10322	  but really from a note on X/Open's website stating that either is
10323	  acceptable, and the latter will be used in a future revision).
10324	+ add xterm-1002, xterm-1003 terminfo entries to demonstrate changes in
10325	  lib_mouse.c (20021026) -TD
10326	+ add screen-bce, screen-s entries from screen 3.9.13 (report by
10327	  Adam Lazur <zal@debian.org>) -TD
10328	+ add mterm terminfo entries -TD
10329
1033020021109
10331	+ split-out useful fragments in terminfo for vt100 and vt220 numeric
10332	  keypad, i.e., vt100+keypad, vt100+pfkeys, vt100+fnkeys and
10333	  vt220+keypad.  The last as embedded in various entries had ka3 and
10334	  kb2 interchanged (report/discussion with Leonard den Ottolander
10335	  <leonardjo@hetnet.nl>).
10336	+ add check in tic for keypads consistent with vt100 layout.
10337	+ improve checks in tic for color capabilities
10338
1033920021102
10340	+ check for missing/empty/illegal terminfo name in _nc_read_entry()
10341	  (report by Martin Mokrejs, where $TERM was set to an empty string).
10342	+ rewrote lib_insch.c, combining it with lib_insstr.c so both handle
10343	  tab and other control characters consistently (report by Philippe
10344	  Blain).
10345	+ remove an #undef for KEY_EVENT from curses.tail used in the
10346	  experimental NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS feature.  The #undef confuses
10347	  dpkg's build script (Debian #165897).
10348	+ fix MKlib_gen.sh, working around the ironically named POSIXLY_CORRECT
10349	  feature of GNU sed 4.0 (reported by Ervin Nemeth <airwin@inf.bme.hu>).
10350
1035120021026
10352	+ implement logic in lib_mouse.c to handle position reports which are
10353	  generated when XFree86 xterm is initialized with private modes 1002
10354	  or 1003.  These are returned to the application as the
10355	  REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION mask, which was not implemented.  Tested both
10356	  with ncurses 'a' menu (prompted by discussion with Larry Riedel
10357	  <Larry@Riedel.org>).
10358	+ modify lib_mouse.c to look for "XM" terminfo string, which allows
10359	  one to override the escape sequence used to enable/disable mouse
10360	  mode.  In particular this works for XFree86 xterm private modes
10361	  1002 and 1003.  If "XM" is missing (note that this is an extended
10362	  name), lib_mouse uses the conventional private mode 1000.
10363	+ correct NOT_LOCAL() macro in lib_mvcur.c to refer to screen_columns
10364	  where it used screen_lines (report by Philippe Blain).
10365	+ correct makefile rules for the case when both --with-libtool and
10366	  --with-gpm are given (report by Mr E_T <troll@logi.net.au>).
10367	+ add note to terminfo manpage regarding the differences between
10368	  setaf/setab and setf/setb capabilities (report by Pavel Roskin).
10369
1037020021019
10371	+ remove redundant initialization of TABSIZE in newterm(), since it is
10372	  already done in setupterm() (report by Philippe Blain).
10373	+ add test/inserts.c, to test winnstr() and winsch().
10374	+ replace 'sort' in dist.mk with script that sets locale to POSIX.
10375	+ update URLs in announce.html.in (patch by Frederic L W Meunier).
10376	+ remove glibc add-on files, which are no longer needed (report by
10377	  Frederic L W Meunier).
10378
1037920021012 5.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
10380	+ modify ifdef's in etip.h.in to allow the etip.h header to compile
10381	  with gcc 3.2 (patch by Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy@is-vn.bg>).
10382	+ add logic to setupterm() to make it like initscr() and newterm(),
10383	  by checking for $NCURSES_TRACE environment variable and enabling
10384	  the debug trace in that case.
10385	+ modify setupterm() to ensure that it initializes the baudrate, for
10386	  applications such as tput (report by Frank Henigman).
10387	+ modify definition of bits used for command-line and library debug
10388	  traces to avoid overlap, using new definition TRACE_SHIFT to relate
10389	  the two.
10390	+ document tput's interpretation of parameterized strings according to
10391	  whether parameters are given, etc. (discussion with Robert De Bath).
10392
1039320021005 pre-release
10394	+ correct winnwstr() to account for non-character cells generated when
10395	  a double-width character is added (report by Michael Bienia
10396	  <michael@vorlon.ping.de>).
10397	+ modify _nc_viswbuf2n() to provide better results using wctomb().
10398	+ correct logic in _nc_varargs() which broke tracing of parameters for
10399	  formats such as "%.*s".
10400	+ correct scale factor in linux-c and linux-c-nc terminfo entries
10401	  (report Floyd Davidson).
10402	+ change tic -A option to -t, add the same option to infocmp for
10403	  consistency.
10404	+ correct "%c" implementation in lib_tparm.c, which did not map a null
10405	  character to a 128 (cf: 980620) (patch by Frank Henigman
10406	  <fjhenigman@mud.cgl.uwaterloo.ca>).
10407
1040820020928 pre-release
10409	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for POSIX sort -k option, use that if
10410	  it is found, to accommodate newer utility which dropped the
10411	  compatibility support for +number options (reported by Andrey A
10412	  Chernov).
10413	+ modify linux terminfo entry to use color palette feature from
10414	  linux-c-nc entry (comments by Tomasz Wasiak and Floyd Davidson).
10415	+ restore original color definitions in endwin() if init_color() was
10416	  used, and resume those colors on the next doupdate() or refresh()
10417	  (report by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@komputom.com.pl>).
10418	+ improve debug-traces by modifying MKlib_gen.sh to generate calls
10419	  to returnBool() and returnAttr().
10420	+ add/use _nc_visbufn() and _nc_viswbufn() to limit the debug trace
10421	  of waddnstr() and similar functions to match the parameters as used.
10422	+ add/use _nc_retrace_bool() and _nc_retrace_unsigned().
10423	+ correct type used by _nc_retrace_chtype().
10424	+ add debug traces to some functions in lib_mouse.c
10425	+ modify lib_addch.c to handle non-spacing characters.
10426	+ correct parameter of RemAttr() in lib_bkgd.c, which caused the c++
10427	  demo's boxes to lose the A_ALTCHARSET flag (broken in 20020629).
10428	+ correct width computed in _tracedump(), which did not account for
10429	  the attributes (broken in 20010602).
10430	+ modify test/tracemunch to replace addresses for windows other than
10431	  curscr, newscr and stdscr with window0, window1, etc.
10432
1043320020921 pre-release
10434	+ redid fix for edit_man.sed path.
10435	+ workaround for Cygwin bug which makes subprocess writes to stdout
10436	  result in core dump.
10437	+ documented getbegx(), etc.
10438	+ minor fixes to configure script to use '%' consistently as a sed
10439	  delimiter rather than '@'.
10440	> patch by Philippe Blain:
10441	+ add check in lib_overlay.c to ensure that the windows to be merged
10442	  actually overlap, and in copywin(), limit the area to be touched
10443	  to the lines given for the destination window.
10444
1044520020914 pre-release
10446	+ modified curses.h so that if the wide-character version is installed
10447	  overwriting /usr/include/curses.h, and if it relied on libutf8.h,
10448	  then applications that use that header for wide-character support
10449	  must define HAVE_LIBUTF8_H.
10450	+ modify putwin(), getwin() and dupwin() to allow them to operate on
10451	  pads (request by Philippe Blain).
10452	+ correct attribute-merging in wborder(), broken in 20020216 (report
10453	  by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@grubasek.komputom.com.pl>).
10454	> patch by Philippe Blain:
10455	+ corrected pop-counts in tparam_internal() to '!' and '~' cases.
10456	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in one place that used sizeof(chtype).
10457	+ remove some unused variables from mvcur test-driver.
10458
1045920020907 pre-release
10460	+ change configure script to allow install of widec-character
10461	  (ncursesw) headers to overwrite normal (ncurses) headers, since the
10462	  latter is a compatible subset of the former.
10463	+ fix path of edit_man.sed in configure script, needed to regenerate
10464	  html manpages on Debian.
10465	+ fix mismatched enums in vsscanf.c, which caused warning on Solaris.
10466	+ update README.emx to reflect current patch used for autoconf.
10467	+ change web- and ftp-site to invisible-island.net
10468	> patch by Philippe Blain:
10469	+ change case for 'P' in tparam_internal() to indicate that it pops
10470	  a variable from the stack.
10471	+ correct sense of precision and width in parse_format(), to avoid
10472	  confusion.
10473	+ modify lib_tparm.c, absorb really_get_space() into get_space().
10474	+ modify getwin() and dupwin() to copy the _notimeout, _idlok and
10475	  _idcok window fields.
10476	+ better fix for _nc_set_type(), using typeMalloc().
10477
1047820020901 pre-release
10479	+ change minor version to 3, i.e., ncurses 5.3
10480	+ update config.guess, config.sub
10481	+ retest build with each configure option; minor ifdef fixes.
10482	+ make keyname() return a null pointer rather than "UNKNOWN STRING" to
10483	  match XSI.
10484	+ modify handling of wide line-drawing character functions to use the
10485	  normal line-drawing characters when not in UTF-8 locale.
10486	+ add check/fix to comp_parse.c to suppress warning about missing acsc
10487	  string.  This happens in configurations where raw termcap information
10488	  is processed; tic already does this and other checks.
10489	+ modify tic's check for ich/ich1 versus rmir/smir to only warn about
10490	  ich1, to match xterm patch #70 notes.
10491	+ moved information for ripped-off lines into SCREEN struct to allow
10492	  use in resizeterm().
10493	+ add experimental wgetch_events(), ifdef'd with NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
10494	  (adapted from patch by Ilya Zakharevich - see ncurses/README.IZ).
10495	+ amend check in kgetch() from 20020824 to look only for function-keys,
10496	  otherwise escape sequences are not resolved properly.
10497	> patch by Philippe Blain:
10498	+ removed redundant assignment to SP->_checkfd from newterm().
10499	+ check return-value of setupterm() in restartterm().
10500	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in a few places that used sizeof(chtype).
10501	+ prevent dupwin() from duplicating a pad.
10502	+ prevent putwin() from writing a pad.
10503	+ use typeRealloc() or typeMalloc() in preference to direct calls on
10504	  _nc_doalloc().
10505
1050620020824
10507	+ add a check in kgetch() for cooked characters in the fifo to avoid
10508	  calling fifo_push() when a KEY_RESIZE is available (report/analysis
10509	  by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>).
10510	+ fix an overlooked case for Redhat #68199 (Philippe Blain).
10511	+ ensure clearerr() is called before using ferror() e.g., in
10512	  lib_screen.c (report by Philippe Blain).
10513
1051420020817
10515	+ modify lib_screen.c and lib_newwin.c to maintain the SCREEN-specific
10516	  pointers for curscr/stdscr/newscr when scr_save() and scr_restore()
10517	  modify the global curscr/stdscr/newscr variables.  Fixes Redhat
10518	  #68199.
10519	+ add checks for null pointer in calls to tparm() and tgoto() based on
10520	  FreeBSD bug report.  If ncurses were built with termcap support, and
10521	  the first call to tgoto() were a zero-length string, the result would
10522	  be a null pointer, which was not handled properly.
10523	+ correct a typo in terminfo.head, which gave the octal code for colon
10524	  rather than comma.
10525	+ remove the "tic -u" option from 20020810, since it did not account
10526	  for nested "tc=" clauses, and when that was addressed, was still
10527	  unsatisfactory.
10528
1052920020810
10530	+ add tic -A option to suppress capabilities which are commented out
10531	  when translating to termcap.
10532	+ add tic -u option to provide older behavior of "tc=" clauses.
10533	+ modified tic to expand all but the final "tc=" clause in a termcap
10534	  entry, to accommodate termcap libraries which do not handle multiple
10535	  tc clauses.
10536	+ correct typo in curs_inopts.3x regarding CS8/CS7 usage (report by
10537	  Philippe Blain).
10538	+ remove a couple of redundant uses of A_ATTRIBUTES in expressions
10539	  using AttrOf(), which already incorporates that mask (report by
10540	  Philippe Blain).
10541	+ document TABSIZE variable.
10542	+ add NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS environment variable, to allow users to
10543	  override compiled-in default black-on-white assumption used in
10544	  assume_default_colors().
10545	+ correct an off-by-one comparison against max_colors in COLORFGBG
10546	  logic.
10547	+ correct a use of uninitialized memory found by valgrind (reported by
10548	  Olaf Buddenhagen <olafBuddenhagen@web.de>).
10549	+ modified wresize() to ensure that a failed realloc will not corrupt
10550	  the window structure, and to make subwindows fit within the resized
10551	  window (completes Debian #87678, Debian #101699)
10552
1055320020803
10554	+ fix an off-by-one in lib_pad.c check for limits of pad (patch by
10555	  Philippe Blain).
10556	+ revise logic for BeOS in lib_twait.c altered in 20011013 to restore
10557	  logic used by lib_getch.c's support for GPM or EMX mouse (report by
10558	  Philippe Blain)
10559	+ remove NCURSES_CONST from several prototypes in curses.wide, to make
10560	  the --enable-const --enable-widec configure options to work together
10561	  (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@yahoo.com>).
10562
1056320020727
10564	+ finish no-leak checking in cardfile.c, using this for testing changes
10565	  to resizeterm().
10566	+ simplify _nc_freeall() using delscreen().
10567
1056820020720
10569	+ check error-return from _nc_set_tty_mode() in _nc_initscr() and
10570	  reset_prog_mode() (report/patch by Philippe Blain).
10571	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52, to address
10572	  problem with identifying C++ bool type.
10573	+ correct/improve logic to produce an exit status for errors in tput,
10574	  which did not exit with an error when told to put a string not in the
10575	  current terminfo entry (report by David Gomez <david@pleyades.net>).
10576	+ modify configure script AC_OUTPUT() call to work around defect in
10577	  autoconf 2.52 which adds an ifdef'd include to the generated
10578	  configure definitions.
10579	+ remove fstat() check from scr_init(), which also fixes a missing
10580	  include for <sys/stat.h> from 20020713 (reported by David Ellement,
10581	  fix suggested by Philippe Blain).
10582	+ update curs_scanw.3x manpage to note that XSI curses differs from
10583	  SVr4 curses: return-values are incompatible.
10584	+ correct several prototypes in manpages which used const
10585	  inconsistently with the curses.h file, and removed spurious const's
10586	  in a few places from curses.h, e.g., for wbkgd() (report by Glenn
10587	  Maynard <glenn@zewt.org>).
10588	+ change internal type used by tparm() to long, to work with LP64 model.
10589	+ modify nc_alloc.h to allow building with g++, for testing.
10590
1059120020713
10592	+ add resize-handling to cardfile.c test program.
10593	+ altered resizeterm() to avoid having it fail when a child window
10594	  cannot be resized because it would be larger than its parent.  (More
10595	  work must be done on this, but it works well enough to integrate).
10596	+ improve a limit-check in lib_refresh.c
10597	+ remove check in lib_screen.c relating dumptime to file's modification
10598	  times, since that would not necessarily work for remotely mounted
10599	  filesystems.
10600	+ modify lrtest to simplify debugging changes to resizeterm, e.g.,
10601	  t/T commands to enable/disable tracing.
10602	+ updated status of multibyte support in TO-DO.
10603	+ update contact info in source-files (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10604
1060520020706
10606	+ add Caps.hpux11, as an example.
10607	+ modify version_filter(), used to implement -R option for tic and
10608	  infocmp, to use computed array offsets based on the Caps.* file which
10609	  is actually configured, rather than constants which correspond to
10610	  the Caps file.
10611	+ reorganized lib_raw.c to avoid updating SP and cur_term state if the
10612	  functions fail (reported by Philippe Blain).
10613	+ add -Wundef to gcc warnings, adjust a few ifdef's to accommodate gcc.
10614
1061520020629
10616	+ correct parameters to setcchar() in ncurses.c (cf: 20020406).
10617	+ set locale in most test programs (view.c and ncurses.c were the
10618	  only ones).
10619	+ add configure option --with-build-cppflags (report by Maksim A
10620	  Nikulin <M.A.Nikulin@inp.nsk.su>).
10621	+ correct a typo in wide-character logic for lib_bkgnd.c (Philippe
10622	  Blain).
10623	+ modify lib_wacs.c to not cancel the acsc, smacs, rmacs strings when
10624	  in UTF-8 locale.  Wide-character functions use Unicode values, while
10625	  narrow-character functions use the terminfo data.
10626	+ fix a couple of places in Ada95/samples which did not compile with
10627	  gnat 3.14
10628	+ modify mkinstalldirs so the DOS-pathname case is locale-independent.
10629	+ fix locale problem in MKlib_gen.sh by forcing related variables to
10630	  POSIX (C), using same approach as autoconf (set variables only if
10631	  they were set before).  Update MKterminfo.sh and MKtermsort.sh to
10632	  match.
10633
1063420020622
10635	+ add charset to generated html.
10636	+ add mvterm entry, adapted from a FreeBSD bug-report by Daniel Rudy
10637	  <dcrudy@pacbell.net> -TD
10638	+ add rxvt-16color, ibm+16color entries -TD
10639	+ modify check in --disable-overwrite option so that it is used by
10640	  default unless the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr, in attempt to
10641	  work around packagers, e.g., for Sun's freeware, who do not read the
10642	  INSTALL notes.
10643
1064420020615
10645	+ modify wgetch() to allow returning ungetch'd KEY_RESIZE as a function
10646	  key code in get_wch().
10647	+ extended resize-handling in test/ncurses 'a' menu to the entire
10648	  stack of windows created with 'w' commands.
10649	+ improve $COLORFGBG feature by interpreting an out-of-range color
10650	  value as an SGR 39 or 49, for foreground/background respectively.
10651	+ correct a typo in configure --enable-colorfgbg option, and move it
10652	  to the experimental section (cf: 20011208).
10653
1065420020601
10655	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to remove function-key definitions that do
10656	  not fit into the 1023-byte limit for generated termcaps.  This makes
10657	  hds200 fit.
10658	+ more improvements to tic's warnings, including logic to ignore
10659	  differences between delay values in sgr strings.
10660	+ move definition of KEY_RESIZE into MKkeydefs.sh script, to
10661	  accommodate Caps.osf1r5 which introduced a conflicting definition.
10662
1066320020525
10664	+ add simple resize-handling in test/ncurses.c 'a' menu.
10665	+ fixes in keyname() and _tracechar() to handle negative values.
10666	+ make tic's warnings about mismatches in sgr strings easier to follow.
10667	+ correct tic checks for number of parameters in smgbp and smglp.
10668	+ improve scoansi terminfo entry, and add scoansi-new entry -TD
10669	+ add pcvt25-color terminfo entry -TD
10670	+ add kf13-kf48 strings to cons25w terminfo entry (reported by Stephen
10671	  Hurd <deuce@lordlegacy.org> in newsgroup lucky.freebsd.bugs) -TD
10672	+ add entrypoint _nc_trace_ttymode(), use this to distinguish the
10673	  Ottyb and Nttyb members of terminal (aka cur_term), for tracing.
10674
1067520020523
10676	+ correct and simplify logic for lib_pad.c change in 20020518 (reported
10677	  by Mike Castle).
10678
1067920020518
10680	+ fix lib_pad.c for case of drawing a double-width character which
10681	  falls off the left margin of the pad (patch by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij
10682	  <lerdsuwa@users.sourceforge.net>)
10683	+ modify configure script to work around broken gcc 3.1 "--version"
10684	  option, which adds unnecessary trash to the requested information.
10685	+ adjust ifdef's in case SIGWINCH is not defined, e.g., with DJGPP
10686	  (reported by Ben Decker <deckerben@freenet.de>).
10687
1068820020511
10689	+ implement vid_puts(), vid_attr(), term_attrs() based on the narrow-
10690	  character versions as well.
10691	+ implement erasewchar(), killwchar() based on erasechar() and
10692	  killchar().
10693	+ modify erasechar() and killchar() to return ERR if the value was
10694	  VDISABLE.
10695	+ correct a bug in wresize() in handling subwindows (based on patch by
10696	  Roger Gammans <rgammans@computer-surgery.co.uk>, report by Scott Beck
10697	  <scott@gossamer-threads.com>).
10698	+ improve test/tclock.c by making the second-hand update more often
10699	  if gettimeofday() is available.
10700
1070120020429
10702	+ workaround for Solaris sed with MKlib_gen.sh (reported by Andy
10703	  Tsouladze <andyt@mypoints.com>).
10704
1070520020427
10706	+ correct return-value from getcchar(), making it consistent with
10707	  Solaris and Tru64.
10708	+ reorder loops that generate makefile rules for different models vs
10709	  subsets so configure --with-termlib works again.  This was broken by
10710	  logic added to avoid duplicate rules in changes to accommodate cygwin
10711	  dll's (reported by George.R.Goffe@seagate.com).
10712	+ update config.guess, config.sub
10713
1071420020421
10715	+ modify ifdef's in write_entry.c to allow use of symbolic links on
10716	  platforms with no hard links, e.g., BeOS.
10717	+ modify a few includes to allow compile with BeOS, which has stdbool.h
10718	  with a conflicting definition for 'bool' versus its OS.h definition.
10719	+ amend MKlib_gen.sh to work with gawk, which defines 'func' as an
10720	  alias for 'function'.
10721
1072220020420
10723	+ correct form of prototype for ripoffline().
10724	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to test that all functions marked as implemented
10725	  can be linked.
10726
1072720020413
10728	+ add manpages: curs_get_wstr.3x, curs_in_wchstr.3x
10729	+ implement wgetn_wstr().
10730	+ implement win_wchnstr().
10731	+ remove redefinition of unget_wch() in lib_gen.c (reported by
10732	  Jungshik Shin <jshin@jtan.com>).
10733
1073420020406
10735	+ modified several of the test programs to allow them to compile with
10736	  vendor curses implementations, e.g., Solaris, AIX -TD
10737
1073820020323
10739	+ modified test/configure to allow configuring against ncursesw.
10740	+ change WACS_xxx definition to use address, to work like Tru64 curses.
10741
1074220020317
10743	+ add 'e' and 'm' toggles to 'a', 'A' tests in ncurses.c to demonstrate
10744	  effect of echo/noecho and meta modes.
10745	+ add 'A' test to ncurses.c to demonstrate wget_wch() and related
10746	  functions.
10747	+ add manpage: curs_get_wch.3x
10748	+ implement unget_wch().
10749	+ implement wget_wch().
10750
1075120020310
10752	+ regenerated html manpages.
10753	+ add manpages: curs_in_wch.3x, curs_ins_wch.3x, curs_ins_wstr.3x
10754	+ implement wins_wch().
10755	+ implement win_wch().
10756	+ implement wins_nwstr(), wins_wstr().
10757
1075820020309
10759	+ add manpages: curs_addwstr.3x, curs_winwstr.3x
10760	+ implement winnwstr(), winwstr().
10761
1076220020223
10763	+ add manpages: curs_add_wchstr.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x
10764	+ document wunctrl, key_name.
10765	+ implement key_name().
10766	+ remove const's in lib_box.c incorrectly leftover after splitting off
10767	  lib_box_set.c
10768	+ update llib-lncurses, llib-ncursesw, fix configure script related to
10769	  these.
10770
1077120020218
10772	+ remove quotes on "SYNOPSIS" in man/curs_box_set.3x, which resulted
10773	  in spurious symlinks on install.
10774
1077520020216
10776	+ implement whline_set(), wvline_set(), add manpage curs_border_set.
10777	+ add subtest 'b' to 'F' and 'f' in ncurses.c to demonstrate use of
10778	  box() and box_set() functions.
10779	+ add subtest 'u' to 'F' in ncurses.c, to demonstrate use of addstr()
10780	  given UTF-8 string equivalents of WACS_xxx symbols.
10781	+ minor fixes to several manpages based on groff -ww output.
10782	+ add descriptions of external variables of termcap interface to
10783	  the manpage (report by Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au>).
10784	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
10785	+ correct configure option --with-bool, which was executed as
10786	  --with-ospeed.
10787	+ add quotes for parameters of --with-bool and --with-ospeed configure
10788	  options.
10789	> patch by Sven Verdoolaege (report by Gerhard Haering
10790	  <haering_linux@gmx.de>):
10791	+ correct typos in definitions of several wide-character macros:
10792	  waddwstr, wgetbkgrnd, mvaddwstr, mvwadd_wchnstr, mvwadd_wchnstr,
10793	  mvwaddwstr.
10794	+ pass $(CPPFLAGS) to MKlib_gen.sh, thereby fixing a missing definition
10795	  of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, e.g., on Solaris
10796
1079720020209
10798	+ implement wide-acs characters for UTF-8 locales.  When in UTF-8
10799	  locale, ignore narrow version of acs.  Add 'F' test to test/ncurses.c
10800	  to demonstrate.
10801	+ correct prototype in keybound manpage (noted from a Debian mailing
10802	  list item).
10803
1080420020202
10805	+ add several cases to the wscanw() example in testcurs.c, showing the
10806	  format.
10807	+ implement a simple vsscanf() fallback function which uses the %n
10808	  conversion to help parse the input data (prompted by discussion with
10809	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
10810	+ modify mk-1st.awk and test/Makefile.in to add $(LDFLAGS) when making
10811	  shared libraries, and to use $(CFLAGS) when linking test programs
10812	  (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
10813	+ add a call to _nc_keypad() in keypad() to accommodate applications
10814	  such as nvi, which use curses for output but not for input (fixes
10815	  Debian #131263, cf: 20011215).
10816	+ add entrypoints to resizeterm.c which provide better control over the
10817	  process:  is_term_resized() and resize_term().  The latter restores
10818	  the original design of resizeterm() before KEY_RESIZE was added in
10819	  970906.  Do this to accommodate 20010922 changes to view.c, but allow
10820	  for programs with their own sigwinch handler, such as lynx (reported
10821	  by Russell Ruby <russ@math.orst.edu>).
10822
1082320020127
10824	+ fix a typo in change to mk-1st.awk, which broke the shared-library
10825	  makefile rules (reported by Martin Mokrejs).
10826
1082720020126
10828	+ update config.guess, config.sub
10829	+ finish changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
10830	+ fix a typo in mvwchat() macro (reported by Cy <yam@homerow.net).
10831
1083220020119
10833	+ add case in lib_baudrate.c for B921600 (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
10834	+ correct missing sed-editing stage in manpage installs which is used
10835	  to rename manpages, broken in 20010324 fix for Debian #89939 (Debian
10836	  #78866).
10837	+ remove -L$(libdir) from linker flags, probably not needed any more
10838	  since HPUX is handled properly (reported by Niibe Yutaka
10839	  <gniibe@m17n.org>).
10840	+ add configure check for mbstate_t, needed for wide-character
10841	  configuration.  On some platforms we must include <wchar.h> to
10842	  define this (reported by Daniel Jacobowitz).
10843	+ incorporate some of the changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
10844
1084520020112a
10846	+ workaround for awk did not work with mawk, adjusted shell script.
10847
1084820020112
10849	+ add Caps.osf1r5, as an example.
10850	+ modify behavior of can_clear_with() so that if an application is
10851	  running in a non-bce terminals with default colors enabled, it
10852	  returns true, allowing the user to select/paste text without picking
10853	  up extraneous trailing blanks (adapted from patch by Daniel
10854	  Jacobowitz <dmj+@andrew.cmu.edu>).
10855	+ modify generated curses.h to ifdef-out prototypes for extensions if
10856	  they are disabled, and to define curses_version() as a string in that
10857	  case.  This is needed to make the programs such as tic build in that
10858	  configuration.
10859	+ modified generated headers.sh to remove a gzip'd version of the
10860	  target file if it exists, in case non-gzip'd manpages are installed
10861	  into a directory where gzip'd ones exist.  In that case, the latter
10862	  would be found.
10863	+ corrected a redundant initialization of signal handlers from 20010922
10864	  changes.
10865	+ clarified bug-reporting address in terminfo.src (report by John H
10866	  DuBois III <spcecdt@armory.com>).
10867	> several fixes from Robert Joop:
10868	+ do not use "-v" option of awk in MKkey_defs.sh because it does not
10869	  work with SunOS nawk.
10870	+ modify definitions for libutf8 in curses.h to avoid redefinition
10871	  warnings for mblen
10872	+ quoted references to compiler in shell command in misc/Makefile, in
10873	  case it uses multiple tokens.
10874
1087520011229
10876	+ restore special case from 20010922 changes to omit SA_RESTART when
10877	  setting up SIGWINCH handler, which is needed to allow wgetch() to be
10878	  interrupted by that signal.
10879	+ updated configure macro CF_WITH_PATHLIST, to omit some double quotes
10880	  not needed with autoconf 2.52
10881	+ revert configure script to autoconf 2.13 patched with
10882		autoconf-2.13-19990117.patch.gz (or later)
10883	  from
10884		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
10885	  because autoconf 2.52 macro AC_PROG_AWK does not work on HPUX 11.0
10886	  (report by David Ellement <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).  This also fixes a
10887	  different problem configuring with Mac OS X (reported by Marc Smith
10888	  <marc.a.smith@home.com>).
10889
1089020011222
10891	+ modify include/edit_cfg.h to eliminate BROKEN_LINKER symbol from
10892	  term.h
10893	+ move prototype for _nc_vsscanf() into curses.h.in to omit
10894	  HAVE_VSSCANF symbol from curses.h, which was dependent upon the
10895	  ncurses_cfg.h file which is not installed.
10896	+ use ACS_LEN rather than SIZEOF(acs_map) in trace code of lib_acs.c,
10897	  to work with broken linker configuration, e.g., cygwin (report by
10898	  Robert Joop <rj@rainbow.in-berlin.de>).
10899	+ make napms() call _nc_timed_wait() rather than poll() or select(),
10900	  to work around broken implementations of these on cygwin.
10901
1090220011218
10903	+ drop configure macro CF_WIDEC_SHIFT, since that was rendered obsolete
10904	  by Sven Verdoolaege's rewrite of wide-character support.  This makes
10905	  libncursesw incompatible again, but makes the header files almost the
10906	  same as in the narrow-character configuration.
10907	+ simplify definitions that combine wide/narrow versions of bkgd, etc.,
10908	  to eliminate differences between the wide/narrow versions of curses.h
10909	+ correct typo in configure macro CF_FUNC_VSSCANF
10910	+ correct location of call to _nc_keypad() from 20011215 changes which
10911	  prevented keypad() from being disabled (reported by Lars Hecking).
10912
1091320011215
10914	+ rewrote ncurses 'a' test to exercise wgetch() and keypad() functions
10915	  better, e.g., by adding a 'w' command to create new windows which
10916	  may have different keypad() settings.
10917	+ corrected logic of keypad() by adding internal screen state to track
10918	  whether the terminal's keypad-mode has been set.  Use this in
10919	  wgetch() to update the keypad-mode according to whether the
10920	  associated window's keypad-mode has been set with keypad().  This
10921	  corrects a related problem restoring terminal state after handling
10922	  SIGTSTP (reported by Mike Castle).
10923	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52
10924		autoconf-2.52-patch.gz
10925	  at
10926		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
10927	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
10928		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
10929	+ minor changes to quoting in configure script to allow it to work
10930	  with autoconf 2.52
10931
1093220011208
10933	+ modify final checks in lib_setup.c for line and col values, making
10934	  them independent.
10935	+ modify acs_map[] if configure --broken-linker is specified, to make
10936	  it use a function rather than an array (prompted by an incorrect
10937	  implementation in cygwin package).
10938	+ correct spelling of configure option --enable-colorfgbg, which
10939	  happened to work if --with-develop was set (noted in cygwin package
10940	  for ncurses).
10941	+ modify ifdef for genericerror() to compile with SUNWspro Sun WorkShop
10942	  6 update 1 C++ 5.2 (patch by Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>).
10943	+ add configure checks to see if ncurses' fallback vsscanf() will
10944	  compile either of the special cases for FILE structs, and if not,
10945	  force it to the case which simply returns an error (report by
10946	  Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu> indicates that Solaris 8 with
10947	  64-bits does not allow access to FILE's fields).
10948	+ modify ifdef's for c++/cursesw.cc to use the fallback vsscanf() in
10949	  the ncurses library if no better substitute for this can be found
10950	  in the C++ runtime.
10951	+ modify the build to name dynamic libraries according to the
10952	  convention used on OS X and Darwin.  Rather than something like
10953	  libncurses.dylib.5.2, Darwin would name it libncurses.  5.dylib.
10954	  There are a few additional minor fixes, such as setting the library
10955	  version and compatibility version numbers (patch by Jason Evans
10956	  <jevans@apple.com>).
10957	+ use 'sh' to run mkinstalldirs, to work around problems with buggy
10958	  versions of 'make' on OS/2 (report by John Polterak <jp@eyup.org>).
10959	+ correct typo in manpage description of curs_set() (Debian #121548).
10960	+ replace the configure script existence-check for mkstemp() by one
10961	  that checks if the function works, needed for older glibc and
10962	  AmigaOS.
10963
1096420011201
10965	+ modify script that generates fallbacks.c to compile a temporary
10966	  copy of the terminfo source in case the host does not contain all of
10967	  the entries requested for fallbacks (request by Greg Roelofs).
10968	+ modify configure script to accommodate systems such as Mac OS X whose
10969	  <stdbool.h> header defines a 'bool' type inconsistent with ncurses,
10970	  which normally makes 'bool' consistent with C++.  Include <stdbool.h>
10971	  from curses.h to force consistent usage, define a new type
10972	  NCURSES_BOOL and related that to the exported 'bool' as either a
10973	  typedef or definition, according to whether <stdbool.h> is present
10974	  (based on a bug report for tin 1.5.9 by Aaron Adams <adamsa@mac.com>).
10975
1097620011124
10977	+ added/updated terminfo entries for M$ telnet and KDE konsole -TD
10978
1097920011117
10980	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
10981	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
10982	+ add putty terminfo entry -TD
10983	+ if configuring for wide-curses, define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, since
10984	  this may not otherwise be defined to make test/view.c compile.
10985
1098620011110
10987	+ review/correct several missing/generated items in curses.wide, sorted
10988	  the lists to make subsequent diff's easier to track.
10989
1099020011103
10991	+ add manual pages for add_wch(), echo_wchar(), getcchar(),
10992	  mvadd_wch(), mvwadd_wch(), setcchar(), wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar().
10993	+ implement wecho_wchar()
10994	+ modify _tracedump() to handle wide-characters by mapping them to '?'
10995	  and control-characters to '.', to make the trace file readable.  Also
10996	  dynamically allocate the buffer used by _tracedump() for formatting
10997	  the results.
10998	+ modify T_CALLED/T_RETURN macros to ease balancing call/return lines
10999	  in a trace by using curly braces.
11000	+ implement _nc_viscbuf(), for tracing cchar_t arrays.
11001	+ correct trace-calls in setcchar() and getcchar() functions, which
11002	  traced the return values but not the entry to each function.
11003	+ correct usage message in test/view.c, which still mentioned -u flag.
11004
1100520011027
11006	+ modify configure script to allow building with termcap only, or with
11007	  fallbacks only.  In this case, we do not build tic and toe.
11008	+ add configure --with-termpath option, to override default TERMPATH
11009	  value of /etc/termcap:/usr/share/misc/termcap.
11010	+ cosmetic change to tack: make menu descriptions agree with menu
11011	  titles.
11012
1101320011020
11014	+ rewrote limit-checks in wscrl() and associated _nc_scroll_window(),
11015	  to ensure that if the parameter of wscrl() is larger than the size of
11016	  the scrolling region, then the scrolling region will be cleared
11017	  (report by Ben Kohlen <bckohlen@yahoo.com>).
11018	+ add trace/varargs.c, using this to trace parameters in lib_printw.c
11019	+ implement _tracecchar_t2() and _tracecchar_t().
11020	+ split-out trace/visbuf.c
11021	+ correct typo in lib_printw.c changes from 20010922 (report by Mike
11022	  Castle).
11023
1102420011013
11025	+ modify run_tic.sh to check if the build is a cross-compile.  In that
11026	  case, do not use the build's tic to install the terminfo database
11027	  (report by Rafael Rodriguez Velilla <rrv@tid.es>).
11028	+ modify mouse click resolution so that mouseinterval(-1) will disable
11029	  it, e.g., to handle touchscreens via a slow connection (request by
11030	  Byron Stanoszek <gandalf@winds.org>).
11031	+ correct mouseinterval() default value shown in curs_mouse.3x
11032	+ remove conflicting definition of mouse_trafo() (reported by Lars
11033	  Hecking, using gcc 2.95.3).
11034
1103520011001
11036	+ simpler fix for signal_name(), to replace the one overlooked in
11037	  20010929 (reported by Larry Virden).
11038
1103920010929
11040	+ add -i option to view.c, to test ncurses' check for non-default
11041	  signal handler for SIGINT, etc.
11042	+ add cases for shared-libraries on Darwin/OS X (patch by Rob Braun
11043	  <bbraun@synack.net>).
11044	+ modify tset to restore original I/O modes if an error is encountered.
11045	  Also modify to use buffered stderr consistently rather than mixing
11046	  with write().
11047	+ change signal_name() function to use if-then-else rather than case
11048	  statement, since signal-values aren't really integers (reported by
11049	  Larry Virden).
11050	+ add limit checks in wredrawln(), fixing a problem where lynx was
11051	  repainting a pad which was much larger than the screen.

1105320010922
11054	+ fix:  PutRange() was counting the second part of a wide character as
11055	  part of a run, resulting in a cursor position that was one too far
11056	  (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
11057	+ modify resizeterm() to not queue a KEY_RESIZE if there was no
11058	  SIGWINCH, thereby separating the two styles of SIGWINCH handling
11059	  in test/view.c
11060	+ simplified lib_tstp.c, modify it to use SA_RESTART flag for SIGWINCH.
11061	+ eliminate several static buffers in the terminfo compiler, using
11062	  allocated buffers.
11063	+ modify MKkeyname.awk so that keyname() does not store its result into
11064	  a static buffer that is overwritten by the next call.
11065	+ reorganize the output of infocmp -E and -e options to compile cleanly
11066	  with gcc -Wwrite-strings warnings.
11067	+ remove redefinition of chgat/wchgat/mvwchgat from curses.wide
11068
1106920010915
11070	+ add label to test/view.c, showing the name of the last key or signal
11071	  that made the screen repaint, to make it clearer when a sigwinch
11072	  does this.
11073	+ use ExitProgram() consistently in the test-programs to make it
11074	  simpler to test leaks with dmalloc, etc.
11075	+ move hashtab static data out of hashmap.c into SCREEN struct.
11076	+ make NO_LEAK code compile with revised WINDOWLIST structs.
11077
1107820010908
11079	+ modify tgetent() to check if exit_attribute_mode resets the alternate
11080	  character set, and if so, attempt to adjust the copy of the termcap
11081	  "me" string which it will return to eliminate that part.  In
11082	  particular, 'screen' would lose track of line-drawing characters
11083	  (report by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>, analysis by
11084	  Michael Schroeder).
11085
1108620010901
11087	+ specify DOCTYPE in html manpages.
11088	+ add missing macros for several "generated" functions:  attr_get(),
11089	  attr_off(), attr_on(), attr_set(), chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat() and
11090	  mouse_trafo().
11091	+ modify view.c to agree with non-experimental status of ncurses'
11092	  sigwinch handler:
11093	  + change the sense of the -r option, making it default to ncurses'
11094	    sigwinch handler.
11095	  + add a note explaining what functions are unsafe in a signal
11096	    handler.
11097	  + add a -c option, to set color display, for testing.
11098	+ unset $data variable in MKterminfo.sh script, to address potential
11099	  infinite loop if shell malfunction (report by Samuel Mikes
11100	  <smikes@cubane.com>, for bash 2.05.0 on a Linux 2.0.36 system).
11101	+ change kbs in mach terminfo entries to ^?  (Marcus Brinkmann
11102	  <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>).
11103	+ correct logic for COLORFGBG environment variable: if rxvt is compiled
11104	  with xpm support, the variable has three fields, making it slightly
11105	  incompatible with itself.  In either case, the background color is
11106	  the last field.
11107
1110820010825
11109	+ move calls to def_shell_mode() and def_prog_mode() before loop with
11110	  callbacks in lib_set_term.c, since the c++ demo otherwise initialized
11111	  the tty modes before saving them (patch by John David Anglin
11112	  <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>).
11113	+ duplicate logic used to initialize trace in newterm(), in initscr()
11114	  to avoid confusing trace of initscr().
11115	+ simplify allocation of WINDOW and WINDOWLIST structs by making the
11116	  first a part of the second rather than storing a pointer.  This saves
11117	  a call to malloc for each window (discussion with Philippe Blain).
11118	+ remove unused variable 'used_ncv' from lib_vidattr.c (Philippe
11119	  Blain).
11120	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to accommodate archive programs that are
11121	  different for C++ than for C, and add cases for vendor's C++
11122	  compilers on Solaris and IRIX (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
11123	+ correct manpage description of criteria for deciding if the terminal
11124	  supports xterm mouse controls.
11125	+ add several configure script options to aid with cross-compiling:
11126	  --with-build-cc, --with-build-cflags, --with-build-ldflags, and
11127	  --with-build-libs (request by Greg Roelofs).
11128	+ change criteria for deciding if configure is cross-compiling from
11129	  host/build mismatch to host/target mismatch (request by Greg Roelofs
11130	  <greg.roelofs@philips.com>).
11131	+ correct logic for infocmp -e and -E options which writes the data for
11132	  the ext_Names[] array.  This is needed if one constructs a fallback
11133	  table for a terminfo entry which uses extended termcap names, e.g.,
11134	  AX in a color xterm.
11135	+ fix undefined NCURSES_PATHSEP when configure --disable-database
11136	  option is given.
11137
1113820010811
11139	+ fix for VALID_BOOLEAN() macro when char is not signed.
11140	+ modify 'clean' rule for C++ binding to work with Sun compiler, which
11141	  caches additional information in a subdirectory of the objects.
11142	+ added llib-ncursesw.
11143
1114420010804
11145	+ add Caps.keys example for experimental extended function keys
11146	  (adapted from a patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
11147	+ correct parameter types of vidputs() and vidattr() to agree with
11148	  header files (report by William P Setzer).
11149	+ fix typos in several man pages (patch by William P Setzer).
11150	+ remove unneeded ifdef for __GNUG__ in CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC configure
11151	  macro, which made ncurses C++ binding fail to build with other
11152	  C++ compilers such as HPUX 11.x (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
11153	+ workaround for bug in HPUX 11.x C compiler: add a blank after
11154	  NCURSES_EXPORT macro in form.h (report by Albert Chin-A-Young)
11155	+ ignore blank lines in Caps* files in MKkey_defs.sh script (report by
11156	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
11157	+ correct definition of key_end in Caps.aix4, which left KEY_END
11158	  undefined (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
11159	+ remove a QNX-specific fallback prototype for vsscanf(), which is
11160	  obsolete with QNX RTP.
11161	+ review/fix some of the T() and TR() macro calls, having noticed that
11162	  there was no data for delwin() in a trace of dialog because there was
11163	  no returnVoid call for wtimeout().  Also, traces in lib_twait.c are
11164	  now selected under TRACE_IEVENT rather than TRACE_CALLS.
11165
1116620010728
11167	+ add a _nc_access() check before opening files listed via $TERMPATH.
11168	+ using modified man2html, regenerate some of the html manpages to fix
11169	  broken HREF's where the link was hyphenated.
11170
1117120010721
11172	+ add some limit/pointer checks to -S option of tputs.
11173	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
11174	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
11175	+ add a note in curs_termcap.3x regarding a defect in the XSI
11176	  description of tgetent (based on a discussion with Urs Jansen
11177	  regarding the HPUX 11.x implementation, whose termcap interface is
11178	  not compatible with existing termcap programs).
11179	+ modify manhtml rule in dist.mk to preserve copyright notice on the
11180	  generated files, as well as to address HTML style issues reported by
11181	  tidy and weblint.  Regenerated/updated corresponding html files.
11182	+ comment out use of Protected_Character and related rarely used
11183	  attributes in ncurses Ada95 test/demo to compile with wide-character
11184	  configuration.
11185
1118620010714
11187	+ implement a simple example in C++ demo to test scanw().
11188	+ corrected stdio function used to implement scanw() in cursesw.cc
11189	+ correct definition of RemAttr() macro from 20010602 changes, which
11190	  caused C++ SillyDemo to not show line-drawing characters.
11191	+ modify C++ binding, adding getKey() which can be overridden by user
11192	  to substitute functions other than getch() for keyboard processing
11193	  of forms and menus (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11194
1119520010707
11196	+ fix some of the trace calls which needed modification to work with
11197	  new wide-character structures.
11198	+ modify magic-cookie code in tty_update.c to compile with new
11199	  wide-character structures (report by <George.R.Goffe@seagate.com>).
11200	+ ensure that _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined in curses.priv.h if
11201	  compiling for wide-character configuration.
11202	+ make addnwstr() handle non-spacing characters (patch by Sven
11203	  Verdoolaege).
11204
1120520010630
11206	+ add configure check to define _GNU_SOURCE, needed to prop up glibc
11207	  header files.
11208	+ split-out include/curses.wide to solve spurious redefinitions caused
11209	  by defining _GNU_SOURCE, and move includes for <signal.h> before
11210	  <curses.h> to work around misdefinition of ERR in glibc 2.1.3 header
11211	  file.
11212	+ extended ospeed change to NetBSD and OpenBSD -TD
11213	+ modify logic in lib_baudrate.c for ospeed, for FreeBSD to make it
11214	  work properly for termcap applications (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
11215
1121620010623
11217	+ correct an overlooked CharOf/UChar instance (reports by Eugene Lee
11218	  <eugene@anime.net>, Sven Verdoolaege).
11219	+ correct unneeded ifdef for wunctrl() (reported by Sven Verdoolaege)
11220
1122120010618
11222	+ change overlooked several CharOf/UChar instances.
11223	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
11224	+ correct a typo in wunctrl(), which made it appear that botwc() was
11225	  needed (no such function: use btowc()).
11226	+ reimplement wide-character demo in test/view.c, using new functions.
11227	+ implement getcchar(), setcchar(), wadd_wchnstr() and related macros.
11228	+ fix a syntax problem with do/if/while in PUTC macro (curses.priv.h).
11229
1123020010616
11231	+ add parentheses in macros for malloc in test.priv.h, fixes an
11232	  expression in view.c (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.co.at>).
11233	+ add Caps.uwin, as an example.
11234	+ change the way curses.h is generated, making the list of function
11235	  key definitions extracted from the Caps file.
11236	+ add #undef's before possible redefinition of ERR and OK in curses.h
11237	+ modify logic in tic, toe, tput and tset which checks for basename of
11238	  argv[0] to work properly on systems such as OS/2 which have
11239	  case-independent filenames and/or program suffixes, e.g., ".ext".
11240
1124120010609
11242	+ add a configure check, if --enable-widec is specified, for putwc(),
11243	  which may be in libutf8.
11244	+ remove some unnecessary text from curs_extend.3x and
11245	  default_colors.3x which caused man-db to make incorrect symbolic
11246	  links (Debian #99550).
11247	+ add configure check if cast for _IO_va_list is needed to compile
11248	  C++ vscan code (Debian #97945).
11249	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
11250	+ correct code that used non-standard auto-initialization of a struct,
11251	  which gcc allows (report by Larry Virden).
11252	+ use putwc() in PUTC() macro.
11253	+ make addstr() work for the special case where the codeset is
11254	  non-stateful (eg. UTF-8), as well as stateful codesets.
11255
1125620010603
11257	+ correct loop expression in NEXT_CHAR macro for lib_addstr.c changes
11258	  from 20010602 (report by Mike Castle).
11259
1126020010602
11261	+ modify mvcur() to avoid emitting newline characters when nonl() mode
11262	  is set.  Normally this is not a problem since the actual terminal
11263	  mode is set to suppress nl/crlf translations, however it is useful to
11264	  allow the caller to manipulate the terminal mode to avoid staircasing
11265	  effects after spawning a process which writes messages (for lynx
11266	  2.8.4) -TD
11267	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org>:
11268	+ remove redundant type-conversion in fifo_push()
11269	+ correct definition of addwstr() macro in curses.h.in
11270	+ remove _nc_utf8_outch()
11271	+ rename most existing uses of CharOf() to UChar(), e.g., where it is
11272	  used to prevent sign-extension in ctype macros.
11273	+ change some chtype's to attr_t's where the corresponding variables
11274	  are used to manipulate attributes.
11275	+ UpdateAttr() was applied to both attributes (attr_t) and characters
11276	  (chtype).  Modify macro and calls to it to make these distinct.
11277	+ add CharEq() macro, use in places where wide-character configuration
11278	  implementation uses a struct for cchar_t.
11279	+ moved struct ldat into curses.priv.h, to hide implementation details.
11280	+ change CharOf() macro to use it for masking A_CHARTEXT data from
11281	  chtype's.
11282	+ add L() macro to curses.priv.h, for long-character literals.
11283	+ replace several assignments from struct ldat entries to chtype or
11284	  char values with combinations of CharOf() and AttrOf() macros.
11285	+ add/use intermediate ChAttrOf() and ChCharOf() macros where we know
11286	  we are using chtype data.
11287	+ add/use lowlevel attribute manipulation macros AddAttr(), RemAttr()
11288	  and SetAttr().
11289	+ add/use SetChar() macro, to change a cchar_t based on a character and
11290	  attributes.
11291	+ convert most internal use of chtype to NCURSES_CH_T, to simplify use
11292	  of cchar_t for wide-character configuration.  Similarly, use ARG_CH_T
11293	  where a pointer would be more useful.
11294	+ add stubs for tracing cchar_t values.
11295	+ add/use macro ISBLANK()
11296	+ add/use constructors for cchar_t's: NewChar(), NewChar2().
11297	+ add/use macros CHREF(), CHDEREF(), AttrOfD(), CharOfD() to facilitate
11298	  passing cchar_t's by address.
11299	+ add/use PUTC_DATA, PUTC() macros.
11300	+ for wide-character configuration, move the window background data to
11301	  the end of the WINDOW struct so that whether _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
11302	  is defined or not, the offsets in the struct will not change.
11303	+ modify addch() to work with wide-characters.
11304	+ mark several wide-character functions as generated in curses.h.in
11305	+ implement wunctrl(), wadd_wch(), wbkgrndset(), wbkgrnd(),
11306	  wborder_set() and waddnwstr().
11307
1130820010526
11309	+ add experimental --with-caps=XXX option to customize to similar
11310	  terminfo database formats such as AIX 4.x
11311	+ add Caps.aix4 as an example.
11312	+ modify Caps to add columns for the the KEY_xxx symbols.
11313	+ modify configure --with-widec to suppress overwrite of libcurses.so
11314	  and curses.h
11315	+ add checks to toe.c to avoid being confused by files and directories
11316	  where we would expect the reverse, e.g., source-files in the
11317	  top-level terminfo levels as is the case for AIX.
11318
1131920010519
11320	+ add top-level 'depend' rule for the C sources, assuming that the
11321	  makedepend program is available.  As a side-effect, this makes
11322	  the generated sources, as in "make sources" (prompted by a report
11323	  by Mike Castle that "make -j" fails because the resulting parallel
11324	  processes race to generate ncurses/names.c).
11325	+ modify configure script so that --disable-overwrite option's action
11326	  to add a symbolic link for libcurses applies to the static library as
11327	  well as the shared library when both are configured (report by Felix
11328	  Natter <f.natter@ndh.net>).
11329	+ add ELKS terminfo entries (Federico Bianchi
11330	  <bianchi@www.arte.unipi.it>)
11331	+ add u6 (CSR) to Eterm (Michael Jennings).
11332
1133320010512
11334	+ modify test/ncurses.c to work with xterm-256color, which has fewer
11335	  color pairs than colors*colors (report by David Ellement
11336	  <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).
11337
1133820010505
11339	+ corrected screen.xterm-xfree86 entry.
11340	+ update comment in Caps regarding IBM (AIX) function-key definitions.
11341
1134220010421
11343	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to link with libncurses++w.a when configured
11344	  for wide-characters (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
11345	+ add check in _nc_trace_buf() to refrain from freeing a null pointer.
11346	+ improve CF_PROG_INSTALL macro using CF_DIRNAME.
11347	+ update config.guess, config.sub from autoconf 2.49e (alpha).
11348
1134920010414
11350	+ add secondary check in tic.c, similar_sgr() to see if the reason
11351	  for mismatch was that the individual capabilities used a time-delay
11352	  while sgr did not.  Used this to cleanup mismatches, e.g., in vt100,
11353	  and remove time-delay from Apple_Terminal entries.
11354	+ add Apple_Terminal terminfo entries (Benjamin C W Sittler
11355	  <bsittler@iname.com>).
11356	+ correct definitions of shifted editing keys for xterm-xfree86 -TD
11357	+ fix a bug in test/bs.c from 20010407 (patch by Erik Sigra).
11358	+ prevent relative_move() from doing an overwrite if it detects 8-bit
11359	  characters when configured for UTF-8 (reported by Sven Verdoolaege
11360	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
11361
1136220010407
11363	+ add configure checks for strstream.h vscan function, and similar
11364	  stdio-based function which may be used in C++ binding for gcc 3.0
11365	  (reports by George Goffe, Lars Hecking, Mike Castle).
11366	+ rewrite parts of configure.in which used changequote().  That feature
11367	  is broken in the latest autoconf alphas (e.g., 2.49d).
11368	+ add a missing pathname for ncurses_dll.h, needed when building in
11369	  a directory outside the source tree (patch by Sven Verdoolaege
11370	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
11371	> fix 2 bugs in test/bs.c Erik Sigra <sigra@home.se>:
11372	+ no ships were ever placed in the last row or in the last column.
11373	  This made the game very easy to win, because you never had to waste
11374	  any shots there, but the computer did.
11375	+ the squares around a sunken ship that belonged to the player were not
11376	  displayed as already hit by the computer, like it does for the
11377	  player.
11378
1137920010331
11380	+ add some examples of customizing screen's terminfo:
11381	  screen.xterm-xfree86, screen.xterm-r6, screen.teraterm -TD
11382	+ modify screen's terminfo entry to match the khome/kend in screen
11383	  3.09.08 (Debian #92215).
11384	+ correct a memory leak in forms library (report by Stefan Vogtner
11385	  <stefan@vogtner.de>) (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11386
1138720010324
11388	+ change symbols used to guard against repeated includes to begin
11389	  consistently with "NCURSES_" rather than a leading underscore.  There
11390	  are other symbols defined in the header files which begin with a
11391	  leading underscore, but they are part of the legacy interface.
11392	+ reorder includes in c++ binding so that rcs identifiers can be
11393	  compiled-in.
11394	+ add .cc.ii rule to c++ makefile, to get preprocessor output for
11395	  debugging.
11396	+ correct configure script handling of @keyword@ substitutions when the
11397	  --with-manpage-renames option is given (cf: 20000715, fixes Debian
11398	  #89939).
11399	+ report stack underflow/overflow in tparm() when tic -cv option is
11400	  given.
11401	+ remove spurious "%|" operator from xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry,
11402	  (reported by Adam Costello <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, Debian #89222).
11403
1140420010310
11405	+ cleanup of newdemo.c, fixing some ambiguous expressions noted by gcc
11406	  2.95.2, and correcting some conflicting color pair initializations.
11407	+ add missing copyright notice for cursesw.h
11408	+ review, make minor fixes for use of '::' for referring to C-language
11409	  interface from C++ binding.
11410	+ modify configure check for g++ library slightly to accommodate
11411	  nonstandard version number, e.g., <vendor>-2.7 (report by Ronald Ho
11412	  <rho@mipos2.intel.com>).
11413	+ add configure check for c++ <sstream> header, replace hardcoded
11414	  ifdef.
11415	+ workaround for pre-release of gcc 3.0 libstdc++, which has dropped
11416	  vscan from strstreambuf to follow standard, use wrapper for C vscanf
11417	  instead (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@excite.com> and Matt Taggart
11418	  <taggart@carmen.fc.hp.com>, fixes Debian .
11419
1142020010303
11421	+ modify interface of _nc_get_token() to pass 'silent' parameter to it,
11422	  to make quieter loading of /etc/termcap (patch by Todd C Miller).
11423	+ correct a few typos in curs_slk.3x and curs_outopts.3x manpages
11424	  (patch by Todd C Miller).
11425
1142620010224
11427	+ compiler-warning fixes (reported by Nelson Beebe).
11428
1142920010210
11430	+ modify screen terminfo entry to use new 3.9.8 feature allowing xterm
11431	  mouse controls -TD
11432
1143320010203
11434	+ broaden patterns used to match OS/2 EMX in configure script to cover
11435	  variant used in newer config.guess/config.sub
11436	+ remove changequote() calls from configure script, since this feature
11437	  is broken in the autoconf 2.49c alpha, maintainers decline to fix.
11438	+ remove macro callPutChar() from tty_update.c, since this is no longer
11439	  needed (reported by Philippe Blain).
11440	+ add a null-pointer check in tic.c to handle the case when the input
11441	  file is really empty.  Modify the next_char() function in comp_scan.c
11442	  to allow arbitrarily long lines, and incidentally supply a newline to
11443	  files that do not end in a newline.  These changes improve tic's
11444	  recovery from attempts to read binary files, e.g., its output from
11445	  the terminfo database (reported by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
11446
1144720010127
11448	+ revert change to c++/demo.cc from 20001209, which changed definition
11449	  of main() apparently to accommodate cygwin linker, but broke the demo
11450	  program.
11451	+ workaround for broken egcs 2.91.66 which calls member functions
11452	  (i.e., lines() and colors() of NCursesWindow before calling its
11453	  constructor.  Add calls to initialize() in a few constructors which
11454	  did not do this already.
11455	+ use the GNAT preprocessor to make the necessary switch between TRACE
11456	  and NO_TRACE configurations (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11457	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
11458	+ modify kterm terminfo entry to use SCS sequence to support alternate
11459	  character set (it does not work with SI/SO).
11460	+ --with-ospeed=something didn't work.  configure.in checked for a
11461	  $enableval where it should check for $withval.  Also,
11462	  ncurses/llib-lncurses still had a hardcoded short.
11463
1146420010114
11465	+ correction to my merge of Tom Riddle's patch that broke tic in some
11466	  conditions (reported by Enoch Wexler <enoch@wexler.co.il>) -TD
11467
1146820010113
11469	+ modify view.c to test halfdelay().  Like other tests, this recognizes
11470	  the 's' and space commands for stopping/starting polled input, shows
11471	  a freerunning clock in the header.  If given a parameter to 's', that
11472	  makes view.c use halfdelay() with that parameter rather than
11473	  nodelay().
11474	+ fix to allow compile with the experimental configure option
11475	  --disable-hashmap.
11476	+ modify postprocess_termcap() to avoid overwriting key_backspace,
11477	  key_left, key_down when processing a non-base entry (report/patch by
11478	  Tom Riddle).
11479	+ modify _nc_wrap_entry(), adding option to reallocate the string
11480	  table, needed in _nc_merge_entry() when merging termcap entries.
11481	  (adapted from report/patch by Tom Riddle <ftr@oracom.com>).
11482	+ modify a few configure script macros to keep $CFLAGS used only for
11483	  compiler options, preprocessor options in $CPPFLAGS.
11484
1148520001230
11486	+ correct marker positions in lrtest.c after receiving a sigwinch.
11487	+ fix ifdef's in ncurses.c to build against pre-5.2 for testing.
11488	+ fixes to tclock for resizing behavior, redundant computation (report
11489	  and patch by A M Kuchling <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>).
11490
1149120001216
11492	+ improved scoansi terminfo entry -TD
11493	+ modify configure script and makefile in Ada95/src to compile a stub
11494	  for the trace functions when ncurses does not provide those.
11495
1149620001209
11497	+ add ncurses_dll.h and related definitions to support generating DLL's
11498	  with cygwin (adapted from a patch by Charles Wilson
11499	  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>, changed NCURSES_EXPORT macro to make it
11500	  work with 'indent') -TD
11501
1150220001202
11503	+ correct prototypes for some functions in curs_termcap.3x, matching
11504	  termcap.h, which matches X/Open.
11505	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
11506	+ a revised version of the Ada enhancements sent in by "H.
11507	  Nanosecond", aka Eugene V Melaragno <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>.  This
11508	  patch includes
11509	  - small fixes to the existing ncurses binding
11510	  - addition of some more low-level functions to the binding, including
11511	    termcap and terminfo functions
11512	  - An Ada implementation of the "ncurses" test application originally
11513	    written in C.
11514
1151520001125
11516	+ modify logic in lib_setup.c to allow either lines or columns value
11517	  from terminfo to be used if the screen size cannot be determined
11518	  dynamically rather than requiring both (patch by Ehud Karni
11519	  <ehud@unix.simonwiesel.co.il>).
11520	+ add check in lib_tgoto.c's is_termcap() function to reject null or
11521	  empty strings (reported by Valentin Nechayev <netch@netch.kiev.ua> to
11522	  freebsd-bugs).
11523	+ add definition from configure script that denotes the path-separator,
11524	  which is normally a colon.  The path-separator is a semicolon on
11525	  OS/2 EMX and similar systems which may use a colon within pathnames.
11526	+ alter logic to set default for --disable-overwrite option to set it
11527	  to 'yes' if the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr/local, thereby
11528	  accommodating the most common cause of problems: gcc's nonstandard
11529	  search rules.  Other locations such as /usr/local/ncurses will
11530	  default to overwriting (report by Lars Hecking <lhecking@nmrc.ie>).
11531
1153220001118
11533	+ modify default for --disable-overwrite configure option to disable
11534	  if the --prefix or $prefix value is not /usr.
11535	+ add cygwin to systems for which ncurses is installed by default into
11536	  /usr rather than /usr/local.
11537
1153820001111
11539	+ minor optimization in comp_error.c and lib_termname.c, using
11540	  strncat() to replace strncpy() (patch by Solar Designer).
11541	+ add a use_terminfo_vars() check for $HOME/.termcap, and check for
11542	  geteuid() to use_terminfo_vars() (patch by Solar Designer
11543	  <solar@false.com>).
11544	+ improved cygwin terminfo entry, based on patch by
11545	  <ernie_boyd@yahoo.com>.
11546	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to allow for the possibility that linking
11547	  aliases on a filesystem that ignores case would not succeed because
11548	  the source and destination differ only by case, e.g., NCR260VT300WPP0
11549	  on cygwin (report by Neil Zanella).
11550	+ fix a typo in the curs_deleteln.3x man page (patch by Bernhard
11551	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
11552
1155320001104
11554	+ add configure option --with-ospeed to assist packagers in transition
11555	  to 5.3 change to ospeed type.
11556	+ add/use CharOf() macro to suppress sign-extension of char type on
11557	  platforms where this is a problem in ctype macros, e.g., Solaris.
11558	+ change trace output to binary format.
11559	+ correct a missing quote adjustment in CF_PATH_SYNTAX autoconf
11560	  macro, for OS/2 EMX configuration.
11561	+ rearrange a few configure macros, moving preprocessor options to
11562	  $CPPFLAGS (a now-obsolete version of autoconf did not consistently
11563	  use $CPPFLAGS in both the compile and preprocessor checks).
11564	+ add a check in relative_move() to guard against buffer overflow in
11565	  the overwrite logic.
11566
1156720001028
11568	+ add message to configure script showing g++ version.
11569	+ resync config.guess, config.sub
11570	+ modify lib_delwin.c, making it return ERR if the window did not exist
11571	  (suggested by Neil Zanella).
11572	+ add cases for FreeBSD 3.1 to tdlint and makellib scripts, used this
11573	  to test/review ncurses library.  (Would use lclint, but it doesn't
11574	  work).
11575	+ reorganized knight.c to avoid forward references.  Correct screen
11576	  updates when backtracking, especially to the first cell.  Add F/B/a
11577	  commands.
11578
1157920001021 5.2 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
11580	+ update generated html files from manpages.
11581	+ modify dist.mk to use edit_man.sh to substitute autoconf'd variables
11582	  in html manpages.
11583	+ fix an uninitialized pointer in read_termcap.c (report by Todd C
11584	  Miller, from report/patch by Philip Guenther <guenther@gac.edu>).
11585	+ correct help-message and array limit in knight.c (patch by Brian
11586	  Raiter <breadbox@muppetlabs.com>).
11587	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
11588	+ fix to avoid warning by GNAT-3.13p about use of inconsistent casing
11589	  for some identifiers defined in the standard package.
11590	+ cosmetic change to forms/fty_enum.c
11591
1159220001014
11593	+ correct an off-by-one position in test/railroad.c which could cause
11594	  wrapping at the right margin.
11595	+ test/repair some issues with libtool configuration.  Make
11596	  --disable-echo force libtool --silent.  (Libtool does not work for
11597	  OS/2 EMX, works partly for SCO - libtool is still very specific to
11598	  gcc).
11599	+ change default of --with-manpage-tbl to "no", since for most of the
11600	  platforms which do have tbl installed, the system "man" program
11601	  understands how to run tbl automatically.
11602	+ minor improvement to force_bar() in comp_parse.c (Bernhard
11603	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
11604	+ modify lib_tparm.c to use get_space() before writing terminating
11605	  null character, both for consistency as well as to ensure that if
11606	  save_char() was called immediately before, that the allocated memory
11607	  is enough (patch by Sergei Ivanov).
11608	+ add note about termcap ML capability which is duplicated between two
11609	  different capabilities:  smgl and smglr (reported by Sergei Ivanov
11610	  <svivanov@pdmi.ras.ru>).
11611	+ correct parameter counts in include/Caps for dclk as well as some
11612	  printer-specific capabilities: csnm, defc, scs, scsd, smgtp, smglp.
11613	> patch by Johnny C Lam <lamj@stat.cmu.edu>:
11614	+ add support for building with libtool (apparently version 1.3.5,
11615	  since old versions do not handle -L../lib), using new configure
11616	  option --with-libtool.
11617	+ add configure option --with-manpage-tbl, which causes the manpages to
11618	  be preprocessed by tbl(1) prior to installation,
11619	+ add configure option --without-curses-h, which causes the
11620	  installation process to install curses.h as ncurses.h and make
11621	  appropriate changes to headers and manpages.
11622
1162320001009
11624	+ correct order of options/parameters in run_tic.in invocation of tic,
11625	  which did not work with standard getopt() (reported by Ethan
11626	  Butterfield <primus@veris.org>).
11627	+ correct logic for 'reverse' variable in lib_vidattr.c, which was
11628	  setting it true without checking if newmode had A_REVERSE set, e.g.,
11629	  using $TERM=ansi on OS/2 EMX (see 20000917).
11630	> patch by Todd C Miller:
11631	+ add a few missing use_terminfo_vars() and fixes up _nc_tgetent().
11632	  Previously, _nc_cgetset() would still get called on cp so the
11633	  simplest thing is to set cp to NULL if !use_terminfo_vars().
11634	+ added checks for an empty $HOME environment variable.
11635	> patches for OS/2 EMX (Ilya Zakharevich):
11636	+ modify convert_configure.pl to support INSTALL.  Change compiler
11637	  options in that script to use multithreading, needed for the mouse.
11638	+ modify OS/2 mouse support, retrying as a 2-button mouse if code fails
11639	  to set up a 3-button mouse.
11640	+ improve code for OS/2 mouse support, using _nc_timed_wait() to
11641	  replace select() call.
11642
1164320001007
11644	+ change type of ospeed variable back to short to match its use in
11645	  legacy applications (reported by Andrey A Chernov).
11646	+ add case to configure script for --enable-rpath on IRIX (patch by
11647	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
11648	+ minor fix to position_check() function, to ensure it gets the whole
11649	  cursor report before decoding.
11650	+ add configure option --disable-assumed-color, to allow pre-5.1
11651	  convention of default colors used for color-pair 0 to be configured
11652	  (see assume_default_colors()).
11653	+ rename configure option --enable-hashmap --disable-hashmap, and
11654	  reorder the configure options, splitting the experimental and
11655	  development
11656	+ add configure option --disable-root-environ, which tells ncurses to
11657	  disregard $TERMINFO and similar environment variables if the current
11658	  user is root, or running setuid/setgid (based on discussion with
11659	  several people).
11660	+ modified misc/run_tic.in to use tic -o, to eliminate dependency on
11661	  $TERMINFO variable for installs.
11662	+ add table entry for plab_norm to tput, so it passes in strings
11663	  for that capability.
11664	+ modify parse_format() in lib_tparm.c to ignore precision if it is
11665	  longer than 10000 (report by Jouko Pynnonen).
11666	+ rewrote limit checks in lib_mvcur.c using new functions
11667	  _nc_safe_strcat(), etc.  Made other related changes to check lengths
11668	  used for strcat/strcpy (report by Jouko Pynnonen
11669	  <jouko@solutions.fi>).
11670
1167120000930
11672	+ modify several descriptions, including those for setaf, setab, in
11673	  include/Caps to indicate that the entries are parameterized.  This
11674	  information is used to tell which strings are translated when
11675	  converting to termcap.  Fixes a problem where the generated termcap
11676	  would contain a spurious "%p1" for the terminfo "%p1%d".
11677	+ modify ld -rpath options (e.g., Linux, and Solaris) to use an
11678	  absolute pathname for the build tree's lib directory (prompted by
11679	  discussion with Albert Chin-A-Young).
11680	+ modify "make install.man" and "make uninstall.man" to include tack's
11681	  man page.
11682	+ various fixes for install scripts used to support configure --srcdir
11683	  and --with-install-prefix (reported by Matthew Clarke
11684	  <Matthew_Clarke@mindlink.bc.ca>).
11685	+ make configure script checks on variables $GCC and $GXX consistently
11686	  compare against 'yes' rather than test if they are nonnull, since
11687	  either may be set to the corresponding name of the C or C++ compiler
11688	  (report/patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
11689
1169020000923
11691	+ modify rs2 capability in xterm-r6 and similar where cursor
11692	  save/restore bracketed the sequence for resetting video attributes.
11693	  The cursor restore would undo that (report by John Hawkinson
11694	  <jhawk@MIT.EDU> (see NetBSD misc/11052)).
11695	+ using parameter check added to tic, corrected 27 typos in
11696	  terminfo.src -TD
11697	+ modify tic to verify that its inputs are really files, in case
11698	  someone tries to read a directory (or /dev/zero).
11699	+ add a check for empty buffers returned by fgets() in comp_scan.c
11700	  next_char() function, in case tic is run on a non-text file (fixes
11701	  a core dump reported by Aaron Campbell <aaron@cs.dal.ca>).
11702	+ add to railroad.c some code exercising tgoto(), providing an
11703	  alternate form of display if the terminal supports cursor addressing.
11704	+ split-out tgoto() again, this time into new file lib_tgoto.c, and
11705	  implement a conventional BSD-style tgoto() which is used if the
11706	  capability string does not contain terminfo-style padding or
11707	  parameters (requested by Andrey A Chernov).
11708	+ add check to tic which reports capabilities that do not reference
11709	  the expected number of parameters.
11710	+ add error checking to infocmp's -v and -m options to ensure that
11711	  the option value is indeed a number.
11712	+ some cleanup of logic in _nc_signal_handler() to verify if SIGWINCH
11713	  handler is setup.  Separated the old/new sigaction data for SIGTSTP
11714	  from the other signals.
11715
1171620000917
11717	+ add S0, E0 extensions to screen's terminfo entry, which is another
11718	  way to solve the misconfiguration issue -TD
11719	+ completed special case for tgoto from 20000916
11720
1172120000916
11722	+ update xterm terminfo entries to match XFree86 xterm patch #146 -TD
11723	+ add Matrix Orbital terminfo entries (from Eric Z Ayers
11724	  <eric@ale.org>).
11725	+ add special case to lib_tparm.c to allow 'screen' program to use a
11726	  termcap-style parameter "%." to tgoto() for switching character sets.
11727	+ use LN_S substitution in run_tic.in, to work on OS/2 EMX which has
11728	  no symbolic links.
11729	+ updated notes in README.emx regarding autoconf patches.
11730	+ replace a lookup table in lib_vidattr.c used to decode no_color_video
11731	  with a logic expression (suggested by Philippe Blain).
11732	+ add a/A toggle to ncurses.c 'b' test, which clears/sets alternate
11733	  character set attribute from the displayed text.
11734	+ correct inequality in parameter analysis of rewritten lib_tparm.c
11735	  which had the effect of ignoring p9 in set_attributes (sgr), breaking
11736	  alternate character set (reported by Piotr Majka <charvel@link.pl>).
11737	+ correct ifdef'ing for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF which would not compile
11738	  with Sun WorkShop compilers since these tokens were empty (cf:
11739	  20000902, reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
11740
1174120000909
11742	+ correct an uninitialized parameter to open_tempfile() in tic.c which
11743	  made "tic -I" give an ambiguous error message about tmpnam.
11744	+ add special case in lib_vidattr.c to reset underline and standout for
11745	  devices that have no sgr0 defined (patch by Don Lewis
11746	  <Don.Lewis@tsc.tdk.com>).  Note that this will not work for bold
11747	  mode, since there is no exit-bold-mode capability.
11748	+ improved patch for Make_Enum_Type (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11749	+ modify tparm to disallow arithmetic on strings, analyze the varargs
11750	  list to read strings as strings and numbers as numbers.
11751	+ modify tparm's internal function spop() to treat a null pointer as
11752	  an empty string.
11753	+ modify tput program so it can be renamed or invoked via a link as
11754	  'reset' or 'init', producing the same effect as 'tput reset' or 'tput
11755	  init'.
11756	+ add private entrypoint _nc_basename(), use to consolidate related
11757	  code in progs, as well as accommodating OS/2 EMX pathnames.
11758	+ remove NCURSES_CONST line from edit_cfg.sh to compensate for its
11759	  removal (except via AC_SUBST) from configure.in, making
11760	  --enable-const work again (reported by Juergen Pfeifer).
11761	+ regen'd configure to pick up "hpux*" change from 20000902.
11762
1176320000902
11764	+ modify tset.c to check for transformed "reset" program name, if any.
11765	+ add a check for null pointer in Make_Enum_Type() (reported by Steven
11766	  W Orr <steveo@world.std.com>).
11767	+ change functions _nc_parse_entry() and postprocess_termcap() to avoid
11768	  using strtok(), because it is non-reentrant (reported by Andrey A
11769	  Chernov <ache@nagual.pp.ru>).
11770	+ remove "hpux10.*" case from CF_SHARED_OPTS configure script macro.
11771	  This differed from the "hpux*" case by using reversed symbolic
11772	  links, which made the 5.1 version not match the configuration of
11773	  5.0 shared libraries (reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
11774	+ correct a dependency in Ada95/src/Makefile.in which prevented
11775	  building with configure --srcdir (patch by H Nanosecond
11776	  <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>).
11777	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in to avoid warning if GCC_PRINTF or
11778	  GCC_SCANF was not previously defined (reported by Pavel Roskin
11779	  <proski@gnu.org>).
11780	+ add MKncurses_def.sh to generate fallback definitions for
11781	  ncurses_cfg.h, to quiet gcc -Wundef warnings, modified ifdef's in
11782	  code to consistently use "#if" rather than "#ifdef".
11783
1178420000826
11785	+ add QNX qansi entries to terminfo -TD
11786	+ add os2 entry to misc/emx.src (<jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
11787	+ add configure option --with-database to allow specifying a different
11788	  terminfo source-file to install.  On OS/2 EMX, this defaults to
11789	  misc/emx.src
11790	+ change misc/run_tic.sh to derive it from misc/run_tic.in, to simplify
11791	  setting .exe extension on OS/2 EMX.
11792	+ add .exe extension in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in,
11793	  Ada95/samples/Makefile.in, for OS/2 EMX (reported by
11794	  <jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
11795	+ add configure check for filesystems (such as OS/2 EMX) which do not
11796	  distinguish between upper/lowercase filenames, use this to fix tags
11797	  rules in makefiles.
11798	+ initialize fds[] array to 0's in _nc_timed_wait(); apparently poll()
11799	  only sets the revents members of that array when there is activity
11800	  corresponding to the related file (report by Glenn Cooper
11801	  <gcooper@qantas.com.au>, using Purify on Solaris 5.6).
11802	+ change configure script to use AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM rather than
11803	  AC_CANONICAL_HOST, which means that configure --target will set
11804	  a default program-prefix.
11805	+ add note on cross-compiling to INSTALL (which does not rely on the
11806	  AC_CANONICAL_* macros).
11807
1180820000819
11809	+ add cases for EMX OS/2 to config.guess, config.sub
11810	+ new version of config.guess, config.sub from lynx 2.8.4dev.7
11811	+ add definitions via transform.h to allow tic and tput to check for
11812	  the transformed aliases rather than the original infotocap, etc.
11813	+ simplify transform-expressions in progs/Makefile.in, make the
11814	  uninstall rule work for transformed program names.
11815	+ change symbol used by --install-prefix configure option from
11816	  INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR (the latter has become common usage
11817	  although the name is misleading).
11818	+ modify programs to use curses_version() string to report the version
11819	  of ncurses with which they are compiled rather than the
11820	  NCURSES_VERSION string.  The function returns the patch level in
11821	  addition to the major and minor version numbers.
11822
1182320000812
11824	+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to make transformed program names
11825	  a parameter to that macro rather than embedding them in the macro.
11826	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in lynx
11827	  2.8.4dev.7).
11828	+ add configure option --with-default-terminfo-dir=DIR to allow
11829	  specifying the default terminfo database directory (request by Albert
11830	  Chin-A-Young).
11831	+ minor updates for terminfo.src from FreeBSD termcap change-history.
11832	+ correct notes in README and INSTALL regarding documentation files
11833	  that were moved from misc directory to doc (report by Rich Kulawiec
11834	  <rsk@gsp.org>).
11835	+ change most remaining unquoted parameters of 'test' in configure
11836	  script to use quotes, for instance fixing a problem in the
11837	  --disable-database option (reported by Christian Mondrup
11838	  <scancm@biobase.dk>).
11839	+ minor adjustments to work around some of the incompatibilities/bugs
11840	  in autoconf 2.29a alpha.
11841	+ add -I/usr/local/include when --with-ncurses option is used in
11842	  test/configure script.
11843	+ correct logic in adjust_cancels(), which did not check both
11844	  alternatives when reclassifying an extended name between boolean,
11845	  number and string, causing an infinite loop in tic.
11846
1184720000730
11848	+ correct a missing backslash in curses.priv.h
11849
1185020000729
11851	+ change handling of non_dest_scroll_region in tty_update.c to clear
11852	  text after it is shifted in rather than before shifting out.  Also
11853	  correct row computation (reported by Ruediger Kuhlmann
11854	  <uck4@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>).
11855	+ add/use new trace function to display chtype values from winch() and
11856	  getbkgd().
11857	+ add trace mask TRACE_ATTRS, alter several existing _tracef calls that
11858	  trace attribute changes under TRACE_CALLS to use this.
11859	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh so that functions returning chtype will call
11860	  returnChar().
11861	+ add returnChar() trace, for functions returning chtype.
11862	+ change indent.pro to line up parenthesis.
11863
1186420000722
11865	+ fix a heap problem with the c++ binding (report by
11866	  <alexander_liberson@ninewest.com>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11867	+ minor adjustment to ClrToEOL() to handle an out-of-bounds parameter.
11868	+ modify the check for big-core to force a couple of memory accesses,
11869	  which may work as needed for older/less-capable machines (if not,
11870	  there's still the explicit configure option).
11871	> fixes based on diff's for Amiga and BeOS found at
11872	  http://www.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~kuhlmann/cross/ncurses/
11873	+ alter definition of NCURSES_CONST to make it non-empty.
11874	+ add amiga-vnc terminfo entry.
11875	+ redefine 'TEXT' in menu.h for AMIGA, since it is reported to have
11876	  an (unspecified) symbol conflict.
11877	+ replaced case-statement in _nc_tracebits() for CSIZE with a table to
11878	  simplify working around implementations that define random
11879	  combinations of the related macros to zero.
11880	+ modify configure test for tcgetattr() to allow for old
11881	  implementations, e.g., on BeOS, which only defined it as a macro.
11882	> patches by Bruno Haible:
11883	+ when checking LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG environment variables for UTF-8
11884	  locale, ignore those which are set to an empty value, as per SUSV2.
11885	+ encode 0xFFFD in UTF-8 with 3 bytes, not 2.
11886	+ modify _nc_utf8_outch() to avoid sign-extension when checking for
11887	  out-of-range value.
11888
1188920000715
11890	+ correct manlinks.sed script to avoid using ERE "\+", which is not
11891	  understood by older versions of sed (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
11892	+ implement configure script options that transform installed program
11893	  names, e.g., --program-prefix, including the manpage names and cross
11894	  references (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>).
11895	+ correct several mismatches between manpage filename and ".TH"
11896	  directives, renaming dft_fgbg.3x to default_colors.3x and
11897	  menu_attribs.3x to menu_attributes.3x (report by Todd C Miller).
11898	+ correct missing includes for <string.h> in several places, including
11899	  the C++ binding.  This is not noted by gcc unless we use the
11900	  -fno-builtin option (reported by Igor Schein <igor@txc.com>).
11901	+ modified progs/tset.c and tack/sysdep.c to build with sgttyb
11902	  interface if neither termio or termios is available.  Tested this
11903	  with FreeBSD 2.1.5 (which does have termios - but the sgttyb does
11904	  work).
11905
1190620000708 5.1 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
11907	+ document configure options in INSTALL.
11908	+ add man page for ncurses trace functions.
11909	+ correct return value shown in curs_touch.3x for is_linetouched() and
11910	  is_wintouched(), in curs_initscr.3x for isendwin(), and in
11911	  curs_termattr.3x for has_ic() and has_il().
11912	+ add prototypes for touchline() and touchwin(), adding them to the
11913	  list of generated functions.
11914	+ modify fifo_push() to put ERR into the fifo just like other values to
11915	  return from wgetch().  It was returning without doing that, making
11916	  end-of-file condition incorrectly return a 0 (reported by Todd C
11917	  Miller).
11918	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS for progs and tack (see 971115), since they
11919	  are needed for SCO OpenServer.
11920	+ move _nc_disable_period from free_ttype.c to comp_scan.c to appease
11921	  dynamic loaders on SCO and IRIX64.
11922	+ add "-a" option to test/ncurses.c to invoke assume_default_colors()
11923	  for testing.
11924	+ correct assignment in assume_default_colors() which tells ncurses
11925	  whether to use default colors, or the assumed ones (reported by Gary
11926	  Funck <gary@Intrepid.Com>).
11927	+ review/correct logic in mk-1st.awk for making symbolic links for
11928	  shared libraries, in particular for FreeBSD, etc.
11929	+ regenerate misc/*.def files for OS/2 EMX dll's.
11930	+ correct quoting of values for CC_SHARED_OPTS in aclocal.m4 for
11931	  cases openbsd2*, openbsd*, freebsd* and netbsd* (patch by Peter
11932	  Wemm) (err in 20000610).
11933	+ minor updates to release notes, as well as adding/updating URLs for
11934	  examples cited in announce.html
11935	> several fixes from Philippe Blain <philippe.blain2@freesbee.fr>:
11936	+ correct placement of ifdef for NCURSES_XNAMES in function
11937	  _nc_free_termtype(), fixes a memory leak.
11938	+ add a call to _nc_synchook() to the end of function whline() like
11939	  that in wvline() (difference was in 1.9.4).
11940	+ make ClearScreen() a little faster by moving two instances of
11941	  UpdateAttr() out of for-loops.
11942	+ simplify ClrBottom() by eliminating the tstLine data, using for-loops
11943	  (cf: 960428).
11944
1194520000701 pre-release
11946	+ change minor version to 1, i.e., ncurses 5.1
11947	+ add experimental configure option --enable-colorfgbg to check for
11948	  $COLORFGBG variable as set by rxvt/aterm/Eterm.
11949	+ add Eterm terminfo entry (Michael Jennings <mej@valinux.com>).
11950	+ modify manlinks.sed to pick aliases from the SYNOPSIS section, and
11951	  several manpages so manlinks.sed can find aliases for creating
11952	  symbolic links.
11953	+ add explanation to run_tic.sh regarding extended terminal
11954	  capabilities.
11955	+ change message format for edit_cfg.sh, since some people interpret
11956	  it as a warning.
11957	+ correct unescaped '$' in sysv5uw7*|unix_sv* rule for CF_SHARED_OPTS
11958	  configure macro (report by Thanh Ma <Thanh.Ma@casi-rusco.com>).
11959	+ correct logic in lib_twait.c as used by lib_mouse.c for GPM mouse
11960	  support when poll() is used rather than select() (prompted by
11961	  discussion with David Allen <DAllen24@aol.com>).
11962
1196320000624 pre-release
11964	+ modify TransformLine() to check for cells with different color pairs
11965	  that happen to render the same display colors.
11966	+ apply $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to cost-computation in mvcur().
11967	+ improve cost computation in PutRange() by accounting for the use
11968	  of parm_right_cursor in mvcur().
11969	+ correct cost computation in EmitRange(), which was not using the
11970	  normalized value for cursor_address.
11971	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in TIN 1.5.6).
11972
1197320000617
11974	+ update config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in PCRE 3.2).
11975	+ resync changes to gnathtml against version 1.22, regenerated html
11976	  files under doc/html/ada using this (1.22.1.1).
11977	+ regenerated html files under doc/html/man after correcting top and
11978	  bottom margin options for man2html in dist.mk
11979	+ minor fixes to test programs ncurses 'i' and testcurs program to make
11980	  the subwindow's background color cover the subwindow.
11981	+ modify configure script so AC_MSG_ERROR is temporarily defined to a
11982	  warning in AC_PROG_CXX to make it recover from a missing C++ compiler
11983	  without requiring user to add --without-cxx option (adapted from
11984	  comment by Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> to autoconf mailing list).
11985	+ modify headers.sh to avoid creating temporary files in the build
11986	  directory when installing headers (reported by Sergei Pokrovsky
11987	  <pok@nbsp.nsk.su>)
11988
1198920000610
11990	+ regenerated the html files under doc/html/ada/files and
11991	  doc/html/ada/funcs with a slightly-improved gnathtml.
11992	+ add kmous capability to linux terminfo entry to allow it to use
11993	  xterm-style events provided by gpm patch by Joerg Schoen.
11994	+ make the configure macro CF_SHARED_OPTS a little smarter by testing
11995	  if -fPIC is supported by gcc rather than -fpic.  The former option
11996	  allows larger symbol tables.
11997	+ update config.guess and config.sub (patches by
11998	  Kevin Buettner <kev@primenet.com> (for elf64_ia64),
11999	  Bernd Kuemmerlen <bkuemmer@mevis.de> (for MacOS X)).
12000	+ add warning for 'tic -cv' about use of '^?' in terminfo source, which
12001	  is an extension.
12002
1200320000527
12004	+ modify echo() behavior of getch() to match Solaris curses for
12005	  carriage return and backspace (reported by Neil Zanella).
12006	+ change _nc_flush() to a function.
12007	+ modify delscreen() to check if the output stream has been closed, and
12008	  if so, free the buffer allocated for setbuf (this provides an
12009	  ncurses-specific way to avoid a memory leak when repeatedly calling
12010	  newterm reported by Chipp C <at_1@zdnetonebox.com>).
12011	+ correct typo in curs_getch.3x manpage regarding noecho (reported by
12012	  David Malone <dwmalone@maths.tcd.ie>).
12013	+ add a "make libs" rule.
12014	+ make the Ada95 interface build with configure --enable-widec.
12015	+ if the configure --enable-widec option is given, append 'w' to names
12016	  of the generated libraries (e.g., libncursesw.so) to avoid conflict
12017	  with existing ncurses libraries.
12018
1201920000520
12020	+ modify view.c to make a rudimentary viewer of UTF-8 text if ncurses
12021	  is configured with the experimental wide-character support.
12022	+ add a simple UTF-8 output driver to the experimental wide-character
12023	  support.  If any of the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or
12024	  LANG contain the string "UTF-8", this driver will be used to
12025	  translate the output to UTF-8.  This works with XFree86 xterm.
12026	+ modify configure script to allow building shared libraries on BeOS
12027	  (from a patch by Valeriy E Ushakov).
12028	+ modify lib_addch.c to allow repeated update to the lower-right
12029	  corner, rather than displaying only the first character written until
12030	  the cursor is moved.  Recent versions of SVr4 curses can update the
12031	  lower-right corner, and behave this way (reported by Neil Zanella).
12032	+ add a limit-check in _nc_do_color(), to avoid using invalid color
12033	  pair value (report by Brendan O'Dea <bod@compusol.com.au>).
12034
1203520000513
12036	+ the tack program knows how to use smcup and rmcup but the "show caps
12037	  that can be tested" feature did not reflect this knowledge.  Correct
12038	  the display in the menu tack/test/edit/c (patch by Daniel Weaver).
12039	+ xterm-16color does allow bold+colors, removed ncv#32 from that
12040	  terminfo entry.
12041
1204220000506
12043	+ correct assignment to SP->_has_sgr_39_49 in lib_dft_fgbg.c, which
12044	  broke check for screen's AX capability (reported by Valeriy E Ushakov
12045	  <uwe@ptc.spbu.ru>).
12046	+ change man2html rule in dist.mk to workaround bug in some
12047	  man-programs that ignores locale when rendering hyphenation.
12048	+ change web- and ftp-site to dickey.his.com
12049
1205020000429
12051	+ move _nc_curr_token from parse_entry.c to comp_scan.c, to work around
12052	  problem linking tack on MacOS X DP3.
12053	+ include <sys/time.h> in lib_napms.c to compile on MacOS X DP3
12054	  (reported by Gerben Wierda <wierda@holmes.nl>).
12055	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to check for ncv fixes when pair-0 is not
12056	  default colors.
12057	+ add -d option to ncurses.c, to turn on default-colors for testing.
12058	+ add a check to _nc_makenew() to ensure that newwin() and newpad()
12059	  calls do not silently fail by passing too-large limits.
12060	+ add symbol NCURSES_SIZE_T to use rather than explicit 'short' for
12061	  internal window and pad sizes.  Note that since this is visible in
12062	  the WINDOW struct, it would be an ABI change to make this an 'int'
12063	  (prompted by a question by Bastian Trompetter
12064	  <btrompetter@firemail.de>, who attempted to create a 96000-line pad).
12065
1206620000422
12067	+ add mgterm terminfo entry from NetBSD, minor adjustments to sun-ss5,
12068	  aixterm entries -TD
12069	+ modify tack/ansi.c to make it more tolerant of bad ANSI replies.  An
12070	  example of an illegal ANSI response can be found using Microsoft's
12071	  Telnet client.  A correct display can be found using a VT-4xx
12072	  terminal or XFree86 xterm with:
12073		XTerm*VT100*decTerminalID:  450
12074	  (patch by Daniel Weaver).
12075	+ modify gdc.c to recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' '
12076	  for resume.  Add '-n' option to force gdc's standard input to
12077	  /dev/null, to both illustrate the use of newterm() for specifying
12078	  alternate inputs as well as for testing signal handling.
12079	+ minor fix for configure option --with-manpage-symlinks, for target
12080	  directories that contain a period ('.') (reported by Larry Virden).
12081
1208220000415
12083	+ minor additions to beterm entry (feedback from Rico Tudor) -TD
12084	+ corrections/updates for some IBM terminfo entries -TD
12085	+ modify _nc_screen_wrap() so that when exiting curses mode with
12086	  non-default colors, the last line on the screen will be cleared to
12087	  the screen's default colors (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12088	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' example to set nonl(), allowing control/M to be
12089	  read for demonstrating the REQ_NEW_LINE operation (prompted by a
12090	  question by Tony L Keith <tlkeith@keithconsulting.com>).
12091	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' example of field_info() to work on Solaris 2.7,
12092	  documented extension of ncurses which allows a zero pointer.
12093	+ modify fmt_complex() to avoid buffer overflow in case of excess
12094	  recursion, and to recognize "%e%?" as a synonym for else-if, which
12095	  means that it will not recur for that special case.
12096	+ add logic to support $TERMCAP variable in case the USE_GETCAP symbol
12097	  is defined (patch by Todd C Miller).
12098	+ modify one of the m4 files used to generate the Ada95 sources,
12099	  to avoid using the token "symbols" (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12100
1210120000408
12102	+ add terminfo entries bsdos-pc-m, bsdos-pc-mono (Jeffrey C Honig)
12103	+ correct spelling error in terminfo entry name:  bq300-rv was given as
12104	  bg300-rv in esr's version.
12105	+ modify redrawwin() macro so its parameter is fully parenthesized
12106	  (fixes Debian #61088).
12107	+ correct formatting error in dump_entry() which set incorrect column
12108	  value when no newline trimming was needed at the end of an entry,
12109	  before appending "use=" clauses (cf: 960406).
12110
1211120000401
12112	+ add configure option --with-manpage-symlinks
12113	+ change unctrl() to render C1 characters (128-159) as ~@, ~A, etc.
12114	+ change makefiles so trace() function is provided only if TRACE is
12115	  defined, e.g., in the debug library.  Modify related calls to
12116	  _tracechar() to use unctrl() instead.
12117
1211820000325
12119	+ add screen's AX capability (for ECMA SGR 39 and 49) to applicable
12120	  terminfo entries, use presence of this as a check for a small
12121	  improvement in setting default colors.
12122	+ improve logic in _nc_do_color() implementing assume_default_colors()
12123	  by passing in previous color pair info to eliminate redundant call to
12124	  set_original_colors().  (Part of this is from a patch by Alexander
12125	  V Lukyanov).
12126	+ modify warning in _nc_trans_string() about a possibly too-long string
12127	  to do this once only rather than for each character past the
12128	  threshold (600).  Change interface of _nc_trans_string() to allow
12129	  check for buffer overflow.
12130	+ correct use of memset in _nc_read_entry_source() to initialize ENTRY
12131	  struct each time before reading new data into it, rather than once
12132	  per loop (cf:  990301).  This affects multi-entry in-core operations
12133	  such as "infocmp -Fa".
12134
1213520000319
12136	+ remove a spurious pointer increment in _nc_infotocap() changes from
12137	  20000311.  Add check for '.' in format of number, since that also
12138	  is not permitted in termcap.
12139	+ correct typo in rxvt-basic terminfo from temporary change made while
12140	  integrating 20000318.
12141
1214220000318
12143	+ revert part of the vt220 change (request by Todd C Miller).
12144	+ add ansi-* terminfo entries from ESR's version.
12145	+ add -a option to tic and infocmp, which retains commented-out
12146	  capabilities during source translation/comparison, e.g., captoinfo
12147	  and infotocap.
12148	+ modify cardfile.c to display an empty card if no input data file is
12149	  found, fixes a core dump in that case (reported by Bruno Haible).
12150	+ correct bracketing in CF_MATH_LIB configure macro, which gave wrong
12151	  result for OS/2 EMX.
12152	+ supply required parameter for _nc_resolve_uses() call in
12153	  read_termcap.c, overlooked in 20000311 (reported by Todd C Miller).
12154	> patches by Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>:
12155	+ fix a compiler warning in fty_enum.c
12156	+ correct LIB_PREFIX expression for DEPS_CURSES in progs, tack
12157	  makefiles, which resulted in redundant linking (cf: 20000122).
12158
1215920000311
12160	+ make ifdef's for BROKEN_LINKER consistent (patch by Todd C Miller).
12161	+ improved tack/README (patch by Daniel Weaver).
12162	+ modify tput.c to ensure that unspecified parameters are passed to
12163	  tparm() as 0's.
12164	+ add a few checks in infocmp to guard against buffer overflow when
12165	  displaying string capabilities.
12166	+ add check for zero-uses in infocmp's file_comparison() function
12167	  before calling _nc_align_termtype().  Otherwise one parameter is
12168	  indexed past the end of the uses-array.
12169	+ add an option -q to infocmp to specify the less verbose output,
12170	  keeping the existing format as the default, though not retaining the
12171	  previous behavior that made the -F option compare each entry to
12172	  itself.
12173	+ adapted patch by ESR to make infocmp -F less verbose -TD
12174	  (the submitted patch was unusable because it did not compile
12175	  properly)
12176	  + modify write_entry.c to ensure that absent or cancelled booleans
12177	    are written as FALSE, for consistency with infocmp which now
12178	    assumes this.  Note that for the small-core configuration, tic
12179	    may not produce the same result as before.
12180	  + change some private library interfaces used by infocmp, e.g.,
12181	    _nc_resolve_uses().
12182	  + add a check in _nc_infotocap() to ensure that cm-style capabilities
12183	    accept only %d codes when converting the format from terminfo to
12184	    termcap.
12185	  + modify ENTRY struct to separate the data in 'parent' into the name
12186	    and link values (the original idea to merge both into 'parent' was
12187	    not good).
12188	  + discard repair_acsc(tterm);
12189	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12190	+ drop support for gnat 3.10
12191	+ move generated documentation and html files under ./doc directory,
12192	  adding makefile rules for this to dist.mk
12193
1219420000304
12195	+ correct conflicting use of tparm() in 20000226 change to tic, which
12196	  made it check only one entry at a time.
12197	+ fix errors in ncurses-intro.html and hackguide.html shown by Dave
12198	  Raggett's tidy.
12199	+ make the example in ncurses-intro.html do something plausible, and
12200	  corrected misleading comment (reported by Neil Zanella).
12201	+ modify pnoutrefresh() to set newscr->_leaveok as wnoutrefresh() does,
12202	  to fix a case where the cursor position was not updated as in
12203	  Solaris  (patch by David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>).
12204	+ add a limit-check for wresize() to ensure that a subwindow does not
12205	  address out of bounds.
12206	+ correct offsets used for subwindows in wresize() (patch by Michael
12207	  Andres <ma@suse.de>).
12208	+ regenerate html'ized manual pages with man2html 3.0.1 (patch by
12209	  Juergen Pfeifer).  This generated a file with a space in its name,
12210	  which I removed.
12211	+ fix a few spelling errors in tack.
12212	+ modify tack/Makefile.in to match linker options of progs/Makefile.in;
12213	  otherwise it does not build properly for older HPUX shared library
12214	  configurations.
12215	+ add several terminfo entries from esr's "11.0".
12216
1221720000226
12218	+ make 'tput flash' work properly for xterm by flushing output in
12219	  delay_output() when using napms(), and modifying xterm's terminfo to
12220	  specify no padding character.  Otherwise, xterm's reported baud rate
12221	  can mislead ncurses into producing too few padding characters
12222	  (Debian #58530).
12223	+ add a check to tic for consistency between sgr and the separate
12224	  capabilities such as smso, use this to check/correct several
12225	  terminfo entries (Debian #58530).
12226	+ add a check to tic if cvvis is the same as cnorm, adjusted several
12227	  terminfo entries to remove the conflict (Debian #58530).
12228	+ correct prototype shown in attr_set()/wattr_set() manpages (fixes
12229	  Debian #53962).
12230	+ minor clarification for curs_set() and leaveok() manpages.
12231	+ use mkstemp() for creating temporary file for tic's processing of
12232	  $TERMCAP contents (fixes Debian #56465).
12233	+ correct two errors from integrating Alexander's changes:  did not
12234	  handle the non-bce case properly in can_erase_with() (noted by
12235	  Alexander), and left fg/bg uninitialized in the pair-zero case of
12236	  _nc_do_color() (reported by Dr Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> and
12237	  Ismael Cordeiro <ismael@cordeiro.com>).
12238
1223920000219
12240	+ store default-color code consistently as C_MASK, even if given as
12241	  -1 for convenience (adapted from patches by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12242	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
12243	+ change can_clear_with() macro to accommodate logic for
12244	  assume_default_colors(), making most of the FILL_BCE logic
12245	  unnecessary.  Made can_clear_with() an inline function to make it
12246	  simpler to read.
12247
1224820000212
12249	+ corrected form of recent copyright dates.
12250	+ minor corrections to xterm-xf86-v333 terminfo entry -TD
12251	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
12252	+ reworded dft_fgbg.3x to avoid assuming that the terminal's default
12253	  colors are white on black.
12254	+ fix initialization of tstLine so that it is filled with current blank
12255	  character in any case.  Previously it was possible to have it filled
12256	  with old blank.  The wrong over-optimization was introduced in 991002
12257	  patch.  (it is not very critical as the only bad effect is not using
12258	  clr_eos for clearing if blank has changed).
12259
1226020000205
12261	+ minor corrections/updates to several terminfo entries: rxvt-basic,
12262	  vt520, vt525, ibm5151, xterm-xf86-v40 -TD
12263	+ modify ifdef's for poll() to allow it to use <sys/poll.h>, thereby
12264	  allowing poll() to be used on Linux.
12265	+ add CF_FUNC_POLL macro to check if poll() is able to select from
12266	  standard input.  If not we will not use it, preferring select()
12267	  (adapted from patch by Michael Pakovic <mpakovic@fdn.com>).
12268	+ update CF_SHARED_OPTS macro for SCO Unixware 7.1 to allow building
12269	  shared libraries (reported/tested by Thanh <thanhma@mediaone.net>).
12270	+ override $LANGUAGE in build to avoid incorrect ordering of keynames.
12271	+ correct CF_MATH_LIB parameter, must be sin(x), not sqrt(x).
12272
1227320000122
12274	+ resync CF_CHECK_ERRNO and CF_LIB_PREFIX macros from tin and xterm -TD
12275	+ modify CF_MATH_LIB configure macro to parameterize the test function
12276	  used, for reuse in dialog and similar packages.
12277	+ correct tests for file-descriptors in OS/2 EMX mouse support.  A
12278	  negative value could be used by FD_SET, causing the select() call
12279	  to wait indefinitely.
12280
1228120000115
12282	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of delete_character)
12283	  to work when assume_default_colors() is not specified.
12284	+ modify warning message from _nc_parse_entry() regarding extended
12285	  capability names to print only if tic/infocmp/toe have the -v flag
12286	  set, and not at all in ordinary user applications.  Otherwise, this
12287	  warning would be shown for screen's extended capabilities in programs
12288	  that use the termcap interface (reported by Todd C Miller).
12289	+ modify use of _nc_tracing from programs such as tic so their debug
12290	  level is not in the same range as values set by trace() function.
12291	+ small panel header cleanup (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12292	+ add 'railroad' demo for termcap interface.
12293	+ modify 'tic' to write its usage message to stderr (patch by Todd C
12294	  Miller).
12295
1229620000108
12297	+ add prototype for erase() to curses.h.in, needed to make test
12298	  programs build with c++/g++.
12299	+ add .c.i and .c.h suffix rules to generated makefiles, for debugging.
12300	+ correct install rule for tack.1; it assumed that file was in the
12301	  current directory (reported by Mike Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com>).
12302	+ modify terminfo/termcap translation to suppress acsc before trying
12303	  sgr if the entry would be too large (patch by Todd C Miller).
12304	+ document a special case of incompatibility between ncurses 4.2 and
12305	  5.0, add a section for this in INSTALL.
12306	+ add TRACE_DATABASE flag for trace().
12307
1230820000101
12309	+ update mach, add mach-color terminfo entries based on Debian diffs
12310	  for ncurses 5.0 -TD
12311	+ add entries for xterm-hp, xterm-vt220, xterm-vt52 and xterm-noapp
12312	  terminfo entries -TD
12313	+ change OTrs capabilities to rs2 in terminfo.src -TD
12314	+ add obsolete and extended capabilities to 'screen' terminfo -TD
12315	+ corrected conversion from terminfo rs2 to termcap rs (cf: 980704)
12316	+ make conversion to termcap ug (underline glitch) more consistently
12317	  applied.
12318	+ fix out-of-scope use of 'personal[]' buffer in 'toe' (this error
12319	  was in the original pre-1.9.7 version, when $HOME/.terminfo was
12320	  introduced).
12321	+ modify 'toe' to ignore terminfo directories to which it has no
12322	  permissions.
12323	+ modify read_termtype(), fixing 'toe', which could dump core when it
12324	  found an incomplete entry such as "dumb" because it did not
12325	  initialize its buffer for _nc_read_file_entry().
12326	+ use -fPIC rather than -fpic for shared libraries on Linux, not
12327	  needed for i386 but some ports (from Debian diffs for 5.0) -TD
12328	+ use explicit VALID_NUMERIC() checks in a few places that had been
12329	  overlooked, and add a check to ensure that init_tabs is nonzero,
12330	  to avoid divide-by-zero (reported by Todd C Miller).
12331	+ minor fix for CF_ANSI_CC_CHECK configure macro, for HPUX 10.x (from
12332	  tin) -TD
12333
1233419991218
12335	+ reorder tests during mouse initialization to allow for gpm to run in
12336	  xterm, or for xterm to be used under OS/2 EMX.  Also drop test for
12337	  $DISPLAY in favor of kmous=\E[M or $TERM containing "xterm" (report
12338	  by Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>).
12339	+ modify raw() and noraw() to clear/restore IEXTEN flag which affects
12340	  stty lnext on systems such as FreeBSD (report by Bruce Evans
12341	  <bde@zeta.org.au>, via Jason Evans <jasone@canonware.com>).
12342	+ fix a potential (but unlikely) buffer overflow in failed() function
12343	  of tset.c (reported by Todd C Miller).
12344	+ add manual-page for ncurses extensions, documented curses_version(),
12345	  use_extended_names().
12346
1234719991211
12348	+ treat as untranslatable to termcap those terminfo strings which
12349	  contain non-decimal formatting, e.g., hexadecimal or octal.
12350	+ correct commented-out capabilities that cannot be translated to
12351	  termcap, which did not check if a colon must be escaped.
12352	+ correct termcap translation for "%>" and "%+", which did not check
12353	  if a colon must be escaped, for instance.
12354	+ use save_string/save_char for _nc_captoinfo() to eliminate fixed
12355	  buffer (originally for _nc_infotocap() in 960301 -TD).
12356	+ correct expression used for terminfo equivalent of termcap %B,
12357	  adjust regent100 entry which uses this.
12358	+ some cleanup and commenting of ad hoc cases in _nc_infotocap().
12359	+ eliminate a fixed-buffer in tic, used for translating comments.
12360	+ add manpage for infotocap
12361
1236219991204
12363	+ add kvt and gnome terminfo entries -TD
12364	+ correct translation of "%%" by infotocap, which was emitted as "%".
12365	+ add "obsolete" termcap strings to terminfo.src
12366	+ modify infocmp to default to showing obsolete capabilities rather
12367	  than terminfo only.
12368	+ modify write_entry.c so that if extended names (i.e., configure
12369	  --enable-tcap-names) are active, then tic will also write "obsolete"
12370	  capabilities that are present in the terminfo source.
12371	+ modify tic so that when running as captoinfo or infotocap, it
12372	  initializes the output format as in -C and -I options, respectively.
12373	+ improve infocmp and tic -f option by splitting long strings that do
12374	  not have if-then-else construct, but do have parameters, e.g., the
12375	  initc for xterm-88color.
12376	+ refine MKtermsort.sh slightly by using bool for the *_from_termcap
12377	  arrays.
12378
1237919991127
12380	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of clear_screen,
12381	  clr_eol, clr_eos, scrolling) to work when assume_default_colors() is
12382	  not specified.
12383	+ several small changes to xterm terminfo entries -TD.
12384	+ move logic for _nc_windows in lib_freeall.c inside check for nonnull
12385	  SP, since it is part of that struct.
12386	+ remove obsolete shlib-versions, which was unintentionally re-added
12387	  in 970927.
12388	+ modify infocmp -e, -E options to ensure that generated fallback.c
12389	  type for Booleans agrees with term.h (reported by Eric Norum
12390	  <eric@cls.usask.ca>).
12391	+ correct configure script's use of $LIB_PREFIX, which did not work
12392	  for installing the c++ directory if $libdir did not end with "/lib"
12393	  (reported by Huy Le <huyle@ugcs.caltech.edu>).
12394	+ modify infocmp so -L and -f options work together.
12395	+ modify the initialization of SP->_color_table[] in start_color() so
12396	  that color_content() will return usable values for COLORS greater
12397	  than 8.
12398	+ modify ncurses 'd' test in case COLORS is greater than 16, e.g., for
12399	  xterm-88color, to limit the displayed/computed colors to 16.
12400	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12401	+ simplify coding of the panel library according to suggestions by
12402	  Philippe Blain.
12403	+ improve macro coding for a few macros in curses.priv.h
12404
1240519991113
12406	+ modify treatment of color pair 0 so that if ncurses is configured
12407	  to support default colors, and they are not active, then ncurses
12408	  will set that explicitly, not relying on orig_colors or orig_pair.
12409	+ add new extension, assume_default_colors() to provide better control
12410	  over the use of default colors.
12411	+ modify test programs to use more-specific ifdef's for existence of
12412	  wresize(), resizeterm() and use_default_colors().
12413	+ modify configure script to add specific ifdef's for some functions
12414	  that are included when --enable-ext-funcs is in effect, so their
12415	  existence can be ifdef'd in the test programs.
12416	+ reorder some configure options, moving those extensions that have
12417	  evolved from experimental status into a new section.
12418	+ change configure --enable-tcap-names to enable this by default.
12419
1242019991106
12421	+ install tack's manpage (reported by Robert Weiner
12422	  <robert@progplus.com>)
12423	+ correct worm.c's handling of KEY_RESIZE (patch by Frank Heckenbach).
12424	+ modify curses.h.in, undef'ing some symbols to avoid conflict with C++
12425	  STL (reported by Matt Gerassimoff <mgeras@ticon.net>)
12426
1242719991030
12428	+ modify linux terminfo entry to indicate that dim does not mix with
12429	  color (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@enteract.com>).
12430	+ correct several typos in terminfo entries related to missing '['
12431	  in CSI's -TD
12432	+ fix several compiler warnings in c++ binding (reported by Tim
12433	  Mooney for alphaev56-dec-osf4.0f
12434	+ rename parameter of _nc_free_entries() to accommodate lint.
12435	+ correct lint rule for tack, used incorrect list of source files.
12436	+ add case to config.guess, config.sub for Rhapsody.
12437	+ improve configure tests for libg++ and libstdc++ by omitting the
12438	  math library (which is missing on Rhapsody), and improved test for
12439	  the math library itself (adapted from path by Nelson H. F. Beebe).
12440	+ explicitly initialize to zero several data items which were
12441	  implicitly initialized, e.g., cur_term.  If not explicitly
12442	  initialized, their storage type is C (common), and causes problems
12443	  linking on Rhapsody 5.5 using gcc 2.7.2.1 (reported by Nelson H. F.
12444	  Beebe).
12445	+ modify Ada95 binding to not include the linker option for Ada
12446	  bindings in the Ada headers, but in the Makefiles instead (patch by
12447	  Juergen Pfeifer).
12448
1244919991023 5.0 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
12450	+ effective with release of 5.0, change NCURSES_VERSION_PATCH to
12451	  4-digit year.
12452	+ add function curses_version(), to return ncurses library version
12453	  (request by Bob van der Poel).
12454	+ remove rmam, smam from cygwin terminfo entry.
12455	+ modify FreeBSD cons25 terminfo entry to add cnorm and cvvis, as well
12456	  as update ncv to indicate that 'dim' conflicts with colors.
12457	+ modify configure script to use symbolic links for FreeBSD shared
12458	  libraries by default.
12459	+ correct ranf() function in rain and worm programs to ensure it does
12460	  not return 1.0
12461	+ hide the cursor in hanoi.c if it is running automatically.
12462	+ amend lrtest.c to account for optimizations that exploit margin
12463	  wrapping.
12464	+ add a simple terminfo demo, dots.c
12465	+ modify SIGINT/SIGQUIT handler to set a flag used in _nc_outch() to
12466	  tell it to use write() rather than putc(), since the latter is not
12467	  safe in a signal handler according to POSIX.
12468	+ add/use internal macros _nc_flush() and NC_OUTPUT to hide details
12469	  of output-file pointer in ncurses library.
12470	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS (see 971115), since they are needed for SCO
12471	  OpenServer.
12472	+ correct CC_SHARED_OPTS for building shared libraries for SCO
12473	  OpenServer.
12474	+ remove usleep() from alternatives in napms(), since it may interact
12475	  with alarm(), causing a process to be interrupted by SIGALRM (with
12476	  advice from Bela Lubkin).
12477	+ modify terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4 to build/work with
12478	  GNAT 3.10 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12479	+ remove part of CF_GPP_LIBRARY configure-script macro, which did not
12480	  work with gcc 2.7.2.3
12481	+ minor fix to test/tclock.c to avoid beeping more than once per second
12482	+ add 's' and ' ' decoding to test/rain.c
12483
12484991016	pre-release
12485	+ corrected BeOS code for lib_twait.c, making nodelay() function work.
12486
12487991009	pre-release
12488	+ correct ncurses' value for cursor-column in PutCharLR(), which was
12489	  off-by-one in one case (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
12490	+ fix some minor errors in position_check() debugging code, found while
12491	  using this to validate the PutCharLR() patch.
12492	+ modify firework, lrtest, worm examples to be resizable, and to
12493	  recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' ' for resume.
12494	+ restore reverted change to  terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
12495	  add a note on building with gnat 3.10p to Ada95/TODO.
12496	+ add a copy of the standalone configure script for the test-directory
12497	  to simplify testing on SCO and Solaris.
12498
12499991002	pre-release
12500	+ minor fixes for _nc_msec_cost(), color_content(), pair_content(),
12501	  _nc_freewin(), ClrBottom() and onscreen_mvcur() (analysis by Philippe
12502	  Blain, comments by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12503	+ simplify definition of PANEL and eliminate internal functions
12504	  _nc_calculate_obscure(), _nc_free_obscure() and _nc_override(),
12505	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, analysis by Philippe Blain
12506	  <bledp@voila.fr>)).
12507	+ change renaming of dft_fgbg.3x to use_default_colors.3ncurses in
12508	  man_db.renames, since Debian is not concerned with 14-character
12509	  filename limitation (Debian bug report by Josip Rodin
12510	  <joy@cibalia.gkvk.hr>).
12511	+ corrected scoansi terminfo entry by testing with scoterm and console.
12512	+ revert change from 990614 to terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
12513	  since this does not work for gnat 3.10p
12514	+ modify tclock example to be resizable (if ncurses' sigwinch handler
12515	  is used), and in color.
12516	+ use $(CC) rather than 'gcc' in MK_SHARED_LIB symbols, used for Linux
12517	  shared library rules.
12518
12519990925	pre-release
12520	+ add newer NetBSD console terminfo entries
12521	+ add amiga-8bit terminfo entry (from Henning 'Faroul' Peters
12522	  <Faroul@beyond.kn-bremen.de>)
12523	+ remove -lcurses -ltermcap from configure script's check for the gpm
12524	  library, since they are not really necessary (a properly configured
12525	  gpm library has no dependency on any curses library), and if the
12526	  curses library is not installed, this would cause the test to fail.
12527	+ modify tic's -C option so that terminfo "use=" clauses are translated
12528	  to "tc=" clauses even when running it as captoinfo.
12529	+ modify CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY configure macro to perform its check only
12530	  for GNU C++, since that library conflicts with SGI's libC on IRIX-6.2
12531	+ modify CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro to support build on NetBSD with
12532	  ELF libraries (patch by Bernd Ernesti <bernd@arresum.inka.de>).
12533	+ correct a problem in libpanel, where the _nc_top_panel variable was
12534	  not set properly when bottom_panel() is called to hide a panel which
12535	  is the only one on the stack (report/analysis by Michael Andres
12536	  <ma@suse.de>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12537
12538990918	pre-release
12539	+ add acsc string to HP 70092 terminfo entry (patch by Joerg Wunsch
12540	  <j@interface-business.de>).
12541	+ add top-level uninstall.data and uninstall.man makefile rules.
12542	+ correct logic of CF_LINK_FUNCS configure script, from BeOS changes so
12543	  that hard-links work on Unix again.
12544	+ change default value of cf_cv_builtin_bool to 1 (suggested by
12545	  Jeremy Buhler), making it less likely that a conflicting declaration
12546	  of bool will be seen when compiling with C++.
12547
12548990911	pre-release
12549	+ improved configure checks for builtin.h
12550	+ minor changes to C++ binding (remove static initializations, and make
12551	  configure-test for parameter initializations) for features not
12552	  allowed by vendor's C++ compilers (reported by Martin Mokrejs, this
12553	  applies to SGI, though I found SCO has the same characteristics).
12554	+ corrected quoting of ETIP_xxx definitions which support old versions
12555	  of g++, e.g., those using -lg++
12556	+ remove 'L' code from safe_sprintf.c, since 'long double' is not
12557	  widely portable.  safe_sprintf.c is experimental, however, and
12558	  exists mainly as a fallback for systems without snprintf (reported
12559	  by Martin Mokrejs <mmokrejs@natur.cuni.cz>, for IRIX 6.2)
12560	+ modify definition of _nc_tinfo_fkeys in broken-linker configuration
12561	  so that it is not unnecessarily made extern (Jeffrey C Honig).
12562
12563990904	pre-release
12564	+ move definition for builtin.h in configure tests to specific check
12565	  for libg++, since qt uses the same filename incompatibly.
12566	+ correct logic of lib_termcap.c tgetstr function, which did not copy
12567	  the result to the buffer parameter.  Testing shows Solaris does
12568	  update this, though of course tgetent's buffer is untouched (reported
12569	  in Peter Edwards <peter.edwards@ireland.com> in
12570	  mpc.lists.freebsd.current newsgroup.
12571	+ corrected beterm terminfo entry, which lists some capabilities which
12572	  are not actually provided by the BeOS Terminal.
12573	+ add special logic to replace select() calls on BeOS, whose select()
12574	  function works only for sockets.
12575	+ correct missing escape in mkterm.h.awk.in, which caused part
12576	  of the copyright noticed to be omitted (reported by Peter
12577	  Wemm <peter@netplex.com.au>).
12578	> several small changes to make the c++ binding and demo work on OS/2
12579	  EMX (related to a clean reinstall of EMX):
12580	+ correct library-prefix for c++ binding; none is needed.
12581	+ add $x suffix to make_hash and make_keys so 'make distclean' works.
12582	+ correct missing $x suffix for tack, c++ demo executables.
12583	+ split CF_CXX_LIBRARY into CF_GPP_LIBRARY (for -lg++) and
12584	  CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY (for -lstdc++)
12585
12586990828	pre-release
12587	+ add cygwin terminfo entry -TD
12588	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT configure macro to set .exe extension for cygwin.
12589	+ add configure option --without-cxx-binding, modifying the existing
12590	  --without-cxx option to check only for the C++ compiler
12591	  characteristics.  Whether or not the C++ binding is needed, the
12592	  configure script checks for the size/type of bool, to make ncurses
12593	  match.  Otherwise C++ applications cannot use ncurses.
12594
12595990821	pre-release
12596	+ updated configure macros CF_MAKEFLAGS, CF_CHECK_ERRNO
12597	+ minor corrections to beterm terminfo entry.
12598	+ modify lib_setup.c to reject values of $TERM which have a '/' in
12599	  them.
12600	+ add ifdef's to guard against CS5, CS6, CS7, CS8 being zero, as more
12601	  than one is on BeOS.  That would break a switch statement.
12602	+ add configure macro CF_LINK_FUNCS to detect and work around BeOS's
12603	  nonfunctional link().
12604	+ improved configure macros CF_BOOL_DECL and CF_BOOL_SIZE to detect
12605	  BeOS's bool, which is declared as an unsigned char.
12606
12607990814	pre-release
12608	+ add ms-vt100 terminfo entry -TD
12609	+ minor fixes for misc/emx.src, based on testing with tack.
12610	+ minor fix for test/ncurses.c, test 'a', in case ncv is not set.
12611
12612990731	pre-release
12613	+ minor correction for 'screen' terminfo entry.
12614	+ clarify description of errret values for setupterm in manpage.
12615	+ modify tput to allow it to emit capabilities for hardcopy terminals
12616	  (patch by Goran Uddeborg <goeran@uddeborg.pp.se>).
12617	+ modify the 'o' (panel) test in ncurses.c to show the panels in color
12618	  or at least in bold, to test Juergen's change to wrefresh().
12619	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
12620	+ Fixes a problem using wbkgdset() with panels.  It has actually
12621	  nothing to with panels but is a problem in the implementation of
12622	  wrefresh().  Whenever a window changes its background attribute to
12623	  something different than newscr's background attribute, the whole
12624	  window is touched to force a copy to newscr.  This is an unwanted
12625	  side-effect of wrefresh() and it is actually not necessary.  A
12626	  changed background attribute affects only further outputs of
12627	  background it doesn't mean anything to the current content of the
12628	  window.  So there is no need to force a copy.  (reported by Frank
12629	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>).
12630	+ an upward compatible enhancement of the NCursesPad class in the C++
12631	  binding.  It allows one to add a "viewport" window to a pad and then
12632	  to use panning to view the pad through the viewport window.
12633
12634990724	pre-release
12635	+ suppress a call to def_prog_mode() in the SIGTSTP handler if the
12636	  signal was received while not in curses mode, e.g., endwin() was
12637	  called in preparation for spawning a shell command (reported by Frank
12638	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
12639	+ corrected/enhanced xterm-r5, xterm+sl, xterm+sl-twm terminfo entries.
12640	+ change test for xterm mouse capability:  it now checks only if the
12641	  user's $DISPLAY variable is set in conjunction with the kmous
12642	  capability being present in the terminfo.  Before, it checked if any
12643	  of "xterm", "rxvt" or "kterm" were substrings of the terminal name.
12644	  However, some emulators which are incompatible with xterm in other
12645	  ways do support the xterm mouse capability.
12646	+ reviewed and made minor changes in ncurses to quiet g++ warnings
12647	  about shadowed or uninitialized variables.  g++ incorrectly warns
12648	  about uninitialized variables because it does not take into account
12649	  short-circuit expression evaluation.
12650	+ change ncurses 'b' test to start in color pair 0 and to show in the
12651	  right margin those attributes which are suppressed by no_color_video,
12652	  i.e., "(NCV)".
12653	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h so that __attribute__ is not redefined
12654	  when compiling with g++, but instead disabled the macros derived for
12655	  __attribute__ since g++ does not consistently recognize the same
12656	  keywords as gcc (reported by Stephan K Zitz <zitz@erf.net>).
12657	+ update dependencies for term.h in ncurses/modules (reported by
12658	  Ilya Zakharevich).
12659
12660990710	pre-release
12661	+ modify the form demo in ncurses.c to illustrate how to manipulate the
12662	  field appearance, e.g, for highlighting or translating the field
12663	  contents.
12664	+ correct logic in write_entry from split-out of home_terminfo in
12665	  980919, which prevented update of $HOME/.terminfo (reported by Philip
12666	  Spencer <pspencer@fields.utoronto.ca>).
12667
12668990703	pre-release
12669	+ modify linux terminfo description to make use of kernel 2.2.x mods
12670	  that support cursor style, e.g., to implement cvvis (patch by Frank
12671	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
12672	+ add special-case in setupterm to retain previously-saved terminal
12673	  settings in cur_term, which happens when curses and termcap calls are
12674	  mixed (from report by Bjorn Helgaas <helgaas@dhc.net>).
12675	+ suppress initialization of key-tries in _nc_keypad() if we are only
12676	  disabling keypad mode, e.g., in endwin() called when keypad() was
12677	  not.
12678	+ modify the Ada95 makefile to ensure that always the Ada files from
12679	  the development tree are used for building and not the eventually
12680	  installed ones (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12681
12682990626	pre-release
12683	+ use TTY definition in tack/sysdep.c rather than struct termios
12684	  (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
12685	+ add a fallback for strstr, used in lib_mvcur.c and tack/edit.c,
12686	  not present on sysV68 (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
12687	+ correct definition in comp_hash.c to build with configure
12688	  --with-rcs-ids option.
12689
12690990619	pre-release
12691	+ modified ifdef's for sigaction and sigvec to ensure we do not try to
12692	  handle SIGTSTP if neither is available (from report by Philippe De
12693	  Muyter).
12694	> patch by Philippe De Muyter:
12695	+ in tic.c, use `unlink' if `remove' is not available.
12696	+ use only `unsigned' as fallback value for `speed_t'.  Some files used
12697	  `short' instead.
12698
12699990616	pre-release
12700	+ fix some compiler warnings in tack.
12701	+ add a check for predefined bool type in CC, based on report that
12702	  BeOS predefines a bool type.
12703	+ correct logic for infocmp -e option, i.e., the configure
12704	  --with-fallbacks option, which I'd not updated when implementing
12705	  extended names (cf:  990301).  The new implementation adds a "-E"
12706	  option to infocmp -TD
12707	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12708	+ introduce the private type Curses_Bool in the Ada95 binding
12709	  implementation.  This is to clearly represent the use of "bool" also
12710	  in the binding.  It should have no effect on the generated code.
12711	+ improve the man page for field_buffer() to tell the people, that the
12712	  whole buffer including leading/trailing spaces is returned.  This is
12713	  a common source of confusion, so it's better to document it clearly.
12714
12715990614	pre-release
12716	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12717	+ use pragma PreElaborate in several places.
12718	+ change a few System.Address uses to more specific types.
12719	+ change interface version-number to 1.0
12720	+ regenerate Ada95 HTML files.
12721
12722990612	pre-release
12723	+ modify lib_endwin.c to avoid calling reset_shell_mode(), return ERR
12724	  if it appears that curses was never initialized, e.g., by initscr().
12725	  For instance, this guards against setting the terminal modes to
12726	  strange values if endwin() is called after setupterm().  In the same
12727	  context, Solaris curses will dump core.
12728	+ modify logic that avoids a conflict in lib_vidattr.c between sgr0 and
12729	  equivalent values in rmso or rmul by ensuring we do not modify the
12730	  data which would be returned by the terminfo or termcap interfaces
12731	  (reported by Brad Pepers <brad@linuxcanada.com>, cf:  960706).
12732	+ add a null-pointer check for SP in lib_vidattr.c to logic that checks
12733	  for magic cookies.
12734	+ improve fallback declaration of 'bool' when the --without-cxx option
12735	  is given, by using a 'char' on i386 and related hosts (prompted by
12736	  discussion with Alexander V Lukyanov).
12737
12738990605	pre-release
12739	+ include time.h in lib_napms.c if nanosleep is used (patch by
12740	  R Lindsay Todd <toddr@rpi.edu>).
12741	+ add an "#undef bool" to curses.h, in case someone tries to define it,
12742	  e.g., perl.
12743	+ add check to tparm to guard against divide by zero (reported by Aaron
12744	  Campbell <aaron@ug.cs.dal.ca>).
12745
12746990516	pre-release
12747	+ minor fix to build tack on CLIX (mismatched const).
12748	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12749	+ change Juergen's old email address with new one in the files where it
12750	  is referenced.  The Ada95 HTML pages are regenerated.
12751	+ update MANIFEST to list the tack files.
12752
12753990509	pre-release
12754	+ minor fixes to make 'tack' build/link on NeXT (reported by Francisco
12755	  A. Tomei Torres).
12756
12757990417	pre-release
12758	+ add 'tack' program (which is GPL'd), updating it to work with the
12759	  modified TERMTYPE struct and making a fix to support setaf/setab
12760	  capabilities.  Note that the tack program is not part of the
12761	  ncurses libraries, but an application which can be distributed with
12762	  ncurses.  The configure script will ignore the directory if it is
12763	  omitted, however.
12764	+ modify gpm mouse support so that buttons 2 and 3 are used for
12765	  select/paste only when shift key is pressed, making them available
12766	  for use by an application (patch by Klaus Weide).
12767	+ add complete list of function keys to scoansi terminfo entry - TD
12768
12769990410	pre-release
12770	+ add a simple test program cardfile.c to illustrate how to read form
12771	  fields, and showing forms within panels.
12772	+ change shared-library versioning for the Hurd to be like Linux rather
12773	  than *BSD (patch by Mark Kettenis <kettenis@wins.uva.nl>).
12774	+ add linux-lat terminfo entry.
12775	+ back-out _nc_access check in read_termcap.c (both incorrect and
12776	  unnecessary, except to guard against a small window where the file's
12777	  ownership may change).
12778
12779990403	pre-release
12780	+ remove conflicting _nc_free_termtype() function from test module
12781	  lib_freeall.c
12782	+ use _nc_access check in read_termcap.c for termpaths[] array (noted
12783	  by Jeremy Buhler, indicating that Alan Cox made a similar patch).
12784	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12785	+ modify menu creation to not inherit status flag from the default menu
12786	  which says that the associated marker string has been allocated and
12787	  should be freed (bug reported by Marek Paliwoda"
12788	  <paliwoda@kki.net.pl>)
12789
12790990327	pre-release (alpha.gnu.org:/gnu/ncurses-5.0-beta1.tar.gz)
12791	+ minor fixes to xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry - TD.
12792	+ split up an expression in configure script check for ldconfig to
12793	  workaround limitation of BSD/OS sh (reported by Jeff Haas
12794	  <jmh@mail.msen.com>).
12795	+ correct a typo in man/form_hook.3x (Todd C Miller).
12796
12797990318	pre-release
12798	+ parenthesize and undef 'index' symbol in c++ binding and demo, to
12799	  accommodate its definition on NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei
12800	  Torres).
12801	+ add sigismember() to base/sigaction.c compatibility to link on NeXT
12802	  (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
12803	+ further refinements to inequality in hashmap.c to cover a case with
12804	  ^U in nvi (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12805
12806990316	pre-release
12807	+ add fallback definition for getcwd, to link on NeXT.
12808	+ add a copy of cur_term to tic.c to make it link properly on NeXT
12809	  (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
12810	+ change inequality in hashmap.c which checks the distance traveled by
12811	  a chunk so that ^D command in nvi (scrolls 1/2 screen) will use
12812	  scrolling logic (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov, reported by Jeffrey
12813	  C Honig).
12814
12815990314	pre-release
12816	+ modify lib_color.c to handle a special case where the curscr
12817	  attributes have been made obsolete (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12818	+ update BSD/OS console terminfo entries to use klone+sgr and
12819	  klone+color (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
12820	+ update glibc addon configure script for extended capabilities.
12821	+ correct a couple of warnings in the --enable-const configuration.
12822	+ make comp_hash build properly with _nc_strdup(), on NeXT (reported by
12823	  Francisco A. Tomei Torres <francisco.tomei@cwix.com>).
12824
12825990313	pre-release
12826	+ correct typos in linux-c initc string - TD
12827	+ add 'crt' terminfo entry, update xterm-xfree86 entry - TD
12828	+ remove a spurious argument to tparm() in lib_sklrefr.c (patch by
12829	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
12830
12831990307	pre-release
12832	+ back-out change to wgetch because it causes a problem with ^Z
12833	  handling in lynx (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
12834
12835990306	pre-release
12836	+ add -G option to tic and infocmp, to reverse the "-g" option.
12837	+ recode functions in name_match.c to avoid use of strncpy, which
12838	  caused a 4-fold slowdown in tic (cf: 980530).
12839	+ correct a few warnings about sign-extension in recent changes.
12840	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12841	+ fixes suggested by Jeff Bradbury <jibradbury@lucent.com>:
12842	  + improved parameter checking in new_fieldtype().
12843	  + fixed a typo in wgetch() timeout handling.
12844	  + allow slk_init() to be called per newterm call.  The internal SLK
12845	    state is stored in the SCREEN struct after every newterm() and then
12846	    reset for the next newterm.
12847	  + fix the problem that a slk_refresh() refreshes stdscr if the
12848	    terminal has true SLKs.
12849	+ update HTML documentation for Ada binding.
12850
12851990301	pre-release
12852	+ remove 'bool' casts from definitions of TRUE/FALSE so that statements
12853	  such as "#if TRUE" work.  This was originally done to allow for a C++
12854	  compiler which would warn of implicit conversions between enum and
12855	  int, but is not needed for g++ (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
12856	+ add use_extended_names() function to allow applications to suppress
12857	  read of the extended capabilities.
12858	+ add configure option --enable-tcap-names to support logic which
12859	  allows ncurses' tic to define new (i.e., extended) terminal
12860	  capabilities.  This is activated by the tic -x switch.  The infocmp
12861	  program automatically shows or compares extended capabilities.
12862	  Note:  This changes the Strings and similar arrays in the TERMTYPE
12863	  struct so that applications which manipulate it must be recompiled.
12864	+ use macros typeMalloc, typeCalloc and typeRealloc consistently
12865	  throughout ncurses library.
12866	+ add _nc_strdup() to doalloc.c.
12867	+ modify define_key() to allow multiple strings to be bound to the
12868	  same keycode.
12869	+ correct logic error in _nc_remove_string, from 990220.
12870	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
12871	+ regenerate some of the html documentation
12872	+ minor cleanup in terminal_interface-curses.adb
12873
12874990220	pre-release
12875	+ resolve ambiguity of kend/kll/kslt and khome/kfnd/kich1 strings in
12876	  xterm and ncsa terminfo entries by removing the unneeded ones.  Note
12877	  that some entries will return kend & khome versus kslt and kfnd, for
12878	  PC-style keyboards versus strict vt220 compatibility - TD
12879	+ add function keybound(), which returns the definition associated with
12880	  a given keycode.
12881	+ modify define_key() to undefine the given string when no keycode is
12882	  given.
12883	+ modify keyok() so it works properly if there is more than one string
12884	  defined for a keycode.
12885	+ add check to tic to warn about terminfo descriptions that contain
12886	  more than one key assigned to the same string.  This is shown only if
12887	  the verbose (-v) option is given.  Moved related logic (tic -v) from
12888	  comp_parse.c into the tic program.
12889	+ add/use _nc_trace_tries() to show the function keys that will be
12890	  recognized.
12891	+ rename init_acs to _nc_init_acs (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12892	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
12893	+ remove all the *_adabind.c from ncurses, menu and form projects.
12894	  Those little helper routines have all been implemented in Ada and are
12895	  no longer required.
12896	+ The option handling routines in menu and form have been made more
12897	  save.  They now make sure that the unused bits in options are always
12898	  zero.
12899	+ modify configuration scripts to
12900	  + use gnatmake as default compiler name.  This is a safer choice than
12901	    gcc, because some GNAT implementations use other names for the
12902	    compilerdriver to avoid conflicts.
12903	  + use new default installation locations for the Ada files according
12904	    to the proposed GNU Ada filesystem standard (for Linux).
12905	+ simplify the Makefiles for the Ada binding
12906	+ rename ada_include directory to src.
12907
12908990213
12909	+ enable sigwinch handler by default.
12910	+ disable logic that allows setbuf to be turned off/on, because some
12911	  implementations will overrun the buffer after it has been disabled
12912	  once.
12913
12914990206
12915	+ suppress sc/rc capabilities from terminal description if they appear
12916	  in smcup/rmcup.  This affects only scrolling optimization, to fix a
12917	  problem reported by several people with xterm's alternate screen,
12918	  though the problem is more general.
12919	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
12920	+ removed all pragma Preelaborate() stuff, because the just released
12921	  gnat-3.11p complains on some constructs.
12922	+ fixed some upper/lower case notations because gnat-3.11p found
12923	  inconsistent use.
12924	+ used a new method to generate the HTML documentation of the Ada95
12925	  binding.  This invalidates nearly the whole ./Ada95/html subtree.
12926	  Nearly all current files in this subtree are removed
12927
12928990130
12929	+ cache last result from _nc_baudrate, for performance (suggested by
12930	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
12931	+ modify ClrUpdate() function to workaround a problem in nvi, which
12932	  uses redrawwin in SIGTSTP handling.  Jeffrey C Honig reported that
12933	  ncurses repainted the screen with nulls before resuming normal
12934	  operation (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12935	+ generalize is_xterm() function a little by letting xterm/rxvt/kterm
12936	  be any substring rather than the prefix.
12937	+ modify lib_data.c to initialize SP.  Some linkers, e.g., IBM's, will
12938	  not link a module if the only symbols exported from the module are
12939	  uninitialized ones (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).  Ilya says that he
12940	  has seen messages claiming this behavior conforms to the standard.)
12941	+ move call on _nc_signal_handler past _nc_initscr, to avoid a small
12942	  window where Nttyb hasn't yet been filled (reported by Klaus Weide).
12943	+ modify lib_tstp.c to block SIGTTOU when handling SIGTSTP, fixes a
12944	  problem where ncurses applications which were run via a shell script
12945	  would hang when given a ^Z.  Also, check if the terminal's process
12946	  group is consistent, i.e., a shell has not taken ownership of it,
12947	  before deciding to save the current terminal settings in the SIGTSTP
12948	  handler (patch by Klaus Weide).
12949	+ correct spelling of ACS_ names in curs_border.3x (reported by Bob van
12950	  der Poel <bvdpoel@kootenay.com>).
12951	+ correct a couple of typos in the macros supporting the configure
12952	  --with-shlib-version option.
12953
12954990123
12955	+ modify fty_regex.c to compile on HAVE_REGEXPR_H_FUNCS machine (patch
12956	  by Kimio Ishii <ishii@csl.sony.co.jp>).
12957	+ rename BSDI console terminfo entries:  bsdos to bsdos-pc-nobold, and
12958	  bsdos-bold to bsdos-pc (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
12959	+ modify tput to accept termcap names as an alternative to terminfo
12960	  names (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
12961	+ correct a typo in term.7 (Todd C Miller).
12962	+ add configure --with-shlib-version option to allow installing shared
12963	  libraries named according to release or ABI versions.  This
12964	  parametrizes some existing logic in the configure script, and is
12965	  intended for compatibility upgrades on Digital Unix, which used
12966	  versioned libraries in ncurses 4.2, but no longer does (cf:  980425).
12967	+ resync configure script against autoconf 2.13 + patches
12968	+ minor improvements for teraterm terminfo entry based on the program's
12969	  source distribution.
12970
12971990116
12972	+ change default for configure --enable-big-core to assume machines do
12973	  have enough memory to resolve terminfo.src in-memory.
12974	+ correct name of ncurses library in TEST_ARGS when configuring with
12975	  debug library.
12976	+ minor fixes to compile ncurses library with broken-linker with g++.
12977	+ add --enable-broken-linker configure option, default to environment
12978	  variable $BROKEN_LINKER (request by Jeffrey C Honig).
12979	+ change key_names[] array to static since it is not part of the curses
12980	  interface (reported by Jeffrey C Honig <jch@bsdi.com>).
12981
12982990110
12983	+ add Tera Term terminfo entry - TD
12984
12985990109
12986	+ reviewed/corrected macros in curses.h as per XSI document.
12987	+ provide support for termcap PC variable by copying it from terminfo
12988	  data and using it as the padding character in tputs (reported by
12989	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
12990	+ corrected iris-ansi and iris-ansi-ap terminfo entries for kent and
12991	  kf9-kf12 capabilities, as well as adding kcbt.
12992	+ document the mouse handling mechanism in menu_driver and make a small
12993	  change in menu_driver's return codes to provide more consistency
12994	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12995	+ add fallback definition for NCURSES_CONST to termcap.h.in (reported
12996	  by Uchiyama Yasushi <uch@nop.or.jp>).
12997	+ move lib_restart.c to ncurses/base, since it uses curses functions
12998	  directly, and therefore cannot be used in libtinfo.so
12999	+ rename micro_char_size to micro_col_size, adding #define to retain
13000	  old name.
13001	+ add set_a_attributes and set_pglen_inch to terminfo structure, as per
13002	  XSI and Solaris 2.5.
13003	+ minor makefile files to build ncurses test_progs
13004	+ update html files in misc directory to reflect changes since 4.2
13005
13006990102
13007	+ disable scroll hints when hashmap is enabled (patch by Alexander
13008	  V Lukyanov).
13009	+ move logic for tic's verify of -e option versus -I and -C so that the
13010	  terminfo data is not processed if we cannot handle -e (reported by
13011	  Steven Schwartz <steves@unitrends.com>.
13012	+ add test-driver traces to terminfo and termcap functions.
13013	+ provide support for termcap ospeed variable by copying it from the
13014	  internal cur_term member, and using ospeed as the baudrate reference
13015	  for the delay_output and tputs functions.  If an application does not
13016	  set ospeed, the library behaves as before, except that _nc_timed_wait
13017	  is no longer used, or needed, since ospeed always has a value.  But
13018	  the application can modify ospeed to adjust the output of padding
13019	  characters (prompted by a bug report for screen 3.7.6 and email from
13020	  Michael Schroeder <Michael.Schroeder@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>).
13021	+ removed some unused ifdef's as part of Alexander's restructuring.
13022	+ reviewed/updated curses.h, term.h against X/Open Curses Issue 4
13023	  Version 2.  This includes making some parameters NCURSES_CONST
13024	  rather than const, e.g., in termcap.h.
13025	+ change linux terminfo entry to use ncv#2, since underline does not
13026	  work with color
13027
13028981226
13029	+ miscellaneous corrections for curses.h to match XSI.
13030	+ change --enable-no-padding configure option to be normally enabled.
13031	+ add section to ncurses manpage for environment variables.
13032	+ investigated Debian bug report that pertains to screen 3.7.4/3.7.6
13033	  changes, found no sign of problems on Linux (or on SunOS, Solaris)
13034	  running screen built with ncurses.
13035	+ check if tmp_fp is opened in tic.c before closing it (patch by Pavel
13036	  Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>).
13037	+ correct several font specification typos in man pages.
13038
13039981220
13040	+ correct default value for BUILD_CC (reported by Larry Virden).
13041
13042981219
13043	+ modify _nc_set_writedir() to set a flag in _nc_tic_dir() to prevent
13044	  it from changing the terminfo directory after chdir'ing to it.
13045	  Otherwise, a relative path in $TERMINFO would confuse tic (prompted
13046	  by a Debian bug report).
13047	+ correct/update ncsa terminfo entry (report by Larry Virden).
13048	+ update xterm-xfree86 terminfo to current (patch 90), smcur/rmcur
13049	  changes
13050	+ add Mathew Vernon's mach console entries to terminfo.src
13051	+ more changes, moving functions, as part of Alexander's restructuring.
13052	+ modify configure script for GNU/Hurd share-library support, introduce
13053	  BUILD_CC variable for cross compiling (patch by Uchiyama Yasushi
13054	  <uch@nop.or.jp>)
13055
13056981212
13057	+ add environment variable NCURSES_NO_SETBUF to allow disabling the
13058	  setbuf feature, for testing purposes.
13059	+ correct ifdef's for termcap.h versus term.h that suppress redundant
13060	  declarations of prototypes (reported by H.J.Lu).
13061	+ modify Makefile.os2 to add linker flags which allow multiple copies
13062	  of an application to coexist (reported by Ilya Zakharevich).
13063	+ update Makefile.glibc and associated configure script so that ncurses
13064	  builds as a glibc add-on with the new directory configuration
13065	  (reported by H.J.Lu).
13066
13067981205
13068	+ modify gen_reps() function in gen.c to work properly on SunOS
13069	  (sparc), which is a left-to-right architecture.
13070	+ modify relative_move and tputs to avoid an interaction with the
13071	  BSD-style padding.  The relative_move function could produce a string
13072	  to replace on the screen which began with a numeric character, which
13073	  was then interpreted by tputs as padding.  Now relative_move will not
13074	  generate a string with a leading digit in that case (overwrite).
13075	  Also, tputs will only interpret padding if the string begins with a
13076	  digit; as coded it permitted a string to begin with a decimal point
13077	  or asterisk (reported by Larry Virden).
13078	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
13079	+ fix a typo in m_driver.c mouse handling and improves the error
13080	  handling.
13081	+ fix broken mouse handling in the Ada95 binding
13082	+ make the Ada95 sample application menus work with the new menu mouse
13083	  support
13084	+ improve the mouse handling introduced by Ilya; it now handles menus
13085	  with spacing.
13086	+ repair a minor bug in the menu_driver code discovered during this
13087	  rework.
13088	+ add new function wmouse_trafo() to hide implementation details of
13089	  _yoffset member of WINDOW struct needed for mouse coordinate
13090	  transformation.
13091
13092981128
13093	+ modify Ada95/gen/gen.c to avoid using return-value of sprintf, since
13094	  some older implementations (e.g., SunOS 4.x) return the buffer
13095	  address rather than its length.
13096	> patch by Rick Ohnemus:
13097	+ modify demo.cc to get it to compile with newer versions of egcs.
13098	+ trim a space that appears at the end of the table preprocessor lines
13099	  ('\" t).  This space prevents some versions of man from displaying
13100	  the pages - changed to remove all trailing whitespace (TD)
13101	+ finally, 'make clean' does not remove panel objects.
13102	> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
13103	+ allow remapping of OS/2 mouse buttons using environment variable
13104	  MOUSE_BUTTONS_123 with the default value 132.
13105	+ add mouse support to ncurses menus.
13106
13107981121
13108	+ modify misc/makedef.cmd to report old-style .def file symbols, and to
13109	  generate the .def files sorted by increasing names rather than the
13110	  reverse.
13111	+ add misc/*.ref which are J.J.G.Ripoll's dll definition files (renamed
13112	  from misc/*.old), and updated based on the entrypoint coding he used
13113	  for an older version of ncurses.
13114	+ add README.emx, to document how to build on OS/2 EMX.
13115	+ updates for config.guess, config.sub from Lynx
13116	> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
13117	+ minor fixes for mouse handling mode:
13118	  a) Do not initialize mouse if the request is to have no mouse;
13119	  b) Allow switching of OS/2 VIO mouse on and off.
13120	+ modify Makefile.os2 to support alternative means of generating
13121	  configure script, by translating Unix script with Perl.
13122	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
13123	+ Updates MANIFEST to reflect changes in source structure
13124	+ Eliminates a problem introduced with my last patch for the C++
13125	  binding in the panels code.  It removes the update() call done in the
13126	  panel destructor.
13127	+ Changes in the Ada95 binding to better support systems where
13128	  sizeof(chtype)!=sizeof(int) (e.g.  DEC Alpha).
13129
13130981114
13131	+ modify install-script for manpages to skip over .orig and .rej files
13132	  (request by Larry Virden).
13133	> patches/discussion by Alexander V Lukyanov:
13134	+ move base-library sources into ncurses/base and tty (serial terminal)
13135	  sources into ncurses/tty, as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's proposed
13136	  changes to ncurses library.
13137	+ copy _tracemouse() into ncurses.c so that lib_tracemse.c need not
13138	  be linked into the normal ncurses library.
13139	+ move macro winch to a function, to hide details of struct ldat
13140	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
13141	+ fix a potential compile problem in cursesw.cc
13142	+ some Ada95 cosmetics
13143	+ fix a gen.c problem when compiling on 64-Bit machines
13144	+ fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in "-L" linker switch
13145	+ modify Ada95 makefiles to use the INSTALL_PREFIX setting.
13146
13147981107
13148	+ ifdef'd out lib_freeall.c when not configured.
13149	+ rename _tracebits() to _nc_tracebits().
13150	+ move terminfo-library sources into ncurses/tinfo, and trace-support
13151	  functions into ncurses/trace as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's
13152	  proposed changes to ncurses library.
13153	+ modify generated term.h to always specify its own definitions for
13154	  HAVE_TERMIOS_H, etc., to guard against inclusion by programs with
13155	  broken configure scripts.
13156
13157981031
13158	+ modify terminfo parsing to accept octal and hexadecimal constants,
13159	  like Solaris.
13160	+ remove an autoconf 2.10 artifact from the configure script's check
13161	  for "-g" compiler options.  (Though harmless, this confused someone
13162	  at Debian, who recently issued a patch that results in the opposite
13163	  effect).
13164	+ add configure option --with-ada-compiler to accommodate installations
13165	  that do not use gcc as the driver for GNAT (patch by Juergen
13166	  Pfeifer).
13167
13168981017
13169	+ ensure ./man exists in configure script, needed when configuring
13170	  with --srcdir option.
13171	+ modify infocmp "-r" option to remove limit on formatted termcap
13172	  output, which makes it more like Solaris' version.
13173	+ modify captoinfo to treat no-argument case more like Solaris'
13174	  version, which uses the contents of $TERMCAP as the entry to format.
13175	+ modify mk-2nd.awk to handle subdirectories, e.g., ncurses/tty
13176	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
13177
13178981010
13179	+ modify --with-terminfo-dirs option so that the default value is the
13180	  ${datadir} value, unless $TERMINFO_DIRS is already set.  This gets
13181	  rid of a hardcoded list of candidate directories in the configure
13182	  script.
13183	+ add some error-checking to _nc_read_file_entry() to ensure that
13184	  strings are properly terminated (Todd C Miller).
13185	+ rename manpage file curs_scr_dmp.3x to curs_scr_dump.3x, to
13186	  correspond with contents (reported by Neil Zanella
13187	  <nzanella@cs.mun.ca>).
13188	+ remove redundant configure check for C++ which did not work when $CXX
13189	  was specified with a full pathname (reported by Andreas Jaeger).
13190	+ corrected bcopy/memmove check; the macro was not standalone.
13191
13192981003
13193	+ remove unnecessary portion of OS/2 EMX mouse change from
13194	  check_pending() (reported by Alexander V Lukyanov).
13195
13196980926
13197	+ implement mouse support for OS/2 EMX (adapted from patch against
13198	  4.2(?) by Ilya Zakharevich).
13199	+ add configure-check for bcopy/memmove, for 980919 changes to hashmap.
13200	+ merge Data General terminfo from Hasufin <hasufin@vidnet.net> - TD
13201	+ merge AIX 3.2.5 terminfo descriptions for IBM terminals, replaces
13202	  some older entries - TD
13203	+ modify tic to compile into %'char' form in preference to %{number},
13204	  since that is a little more efficient.
13205	+ minor correction to infocmp to avoid displaying "difference" between
13206	  two capabilities that are rendered in equivalent forms.
13207	+ add "-g" option to tic/infocmp to force character constants to be
13208	  displayed in quoted form.  Otherwise their decimal values are shown.
13209	+ modify setupterm so that cancelled strings are treated the same as
13210	  absent strings, cancelled and absent booleans false (does not affect
13211	  tic, infocmp).
13212	+ modify tic, infocmp to discard redundant i3, r3 strings when output
13213	  to termcap format.
13214	> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
13215	+ improve performance of tparm, now it takes 19% instead of 25% when
13216	  profiling worm.
13217	+ rename maxlen/minlen to prec/width for better readability.
13218	+ use format string for printing strings.
13219	+ use len argument correctly in save_text, and pass it to save_number.
13220
13221980919
13222	+ make test_progs compile (but hashmap does not function).
13223	+ correct NC_BUFFERED macro, used in lib_mvcur test-driver, modify
13224	  associated logic to avoid freeing the SP->_setbuf data.
13225	+ add modules home_terminfo and getenv_num to libtinfo.
13226	+ move write_entry to libtinfo, to work with termcap caching.
13227	+ minor fixes to blue.c to build with atac.
13228	+ remove softscroll.c module; no longer needed for testing.
13229	> patches by Todd C Miller:
13230	+ use strtol(3) instead of atoi(3) when parsing env variables so we can
13231	  detect a bogus (non-numeric) value.
13232	+ check for terminal names > MAX_NAME_SIZE in a few more places when
13233	  dealing with env variables again.
13234	+ fix a MAX_NAME_SIZE that should be MAX_NAME_SIZE+1
13235	+ use sizeof instead of strlen(3) on PRIVATE_INFO since it is a fixed
13236	  string #define (compile time vs runtime).
13237	+ when setting errno to ENOMEM, set it right before the return, not
13238	  before code that could, possibly, set errno to a different value.
13239	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
13240	+ use default background in update_cost_from_blank()
13241	+ disable scroll-hints when hashmap is configured.
13242	+ improve integration of hashmap scrolling code, by adding oldhash and
13243	  newhash data to SP struct.
13244	+ invoke del_curterm from delscreen.
13245	+ modify del_curterm to set cur_term to null if it matches the
13246	  function's parameter which is deleted.
13247	+ modify lib_doupdate to prefer parm_ich to the enter_insert_mode and
13248	  exit_insert_mode combination, adjusting InsCharCost to check
13249	  enter_insert_mode, exit_insert_mode and insert_padding.  Add
13250	  insert_padding in insert mode after each char.  This adds new costs
13251	  to the SP struct.
13252
13253980912
13254	+ modify test-driver in lib_mvcur.s to use _nc_setbuffer, for
13255	  consistent treatment.
13256	+ modify ncurses to restore output to unbuffered on endwin, and resume
13257	  buffering in refresh (see lib_set_term.c and NC_BUFFERED macro).
13258	+ corrected HTML version numbers (according to the W3C validator, they
13259	  never were HTML 2.0-compliant, but are acceptable 3.0).
13260
13261980905
13262	+ modify MKterminfo.sh to generate terminfo.5 with tables sorted by
13263	  capability name, as in SVr4.
13264	+ modified term.h, termcap.h headers to avoid redundant declarations.
13265	+ change 'u_int' type in tset.c to unsigned, making this compile on
13266	  Sequent PRX 4.1 (reported by Michael Sterrett <msterret@coat.com>).
13267
13268980829
13269	+ corrections to mailing addresses, and moving the magic line that
13270	  causes the man program to invoke tbl to the first line of each
13271	  manpage (patch by Rick Ohnemus <rick@ecompcon.com>).
13272	+ add Makefile.os2 and supporting scripts to generate dll's on OS/2 EMX
13273	  (from J.J.G.Ripoll, with further integration by TD).
13274	+ correct a typo in icl6404 terminfo entry.
13275	+ add xtermm and xtermc terminfo entries.
13276	> from esr's terminfo version:
13277	+ Added Francesco Potorti's tuned Wyse 99 entries.
13278	+ dtterm enacs (from Alexander V Lukyanov).
13279	+ Add ncsa-ns, ncsa-m-ns and ncsa-m entries from esr version.
13280
13281980822
13282	+ document AT&T acs characters in terminfo.5 manpage.
13283	+ use EMX _scrsize() function if terminfo and environment do not
13284	  declare the screen size (reported by Ilya Zakharevich
13285	  <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>).
13286	+ remove spurious '\' characters from eterm and osborne terminfo
13287	  entries (prompted by an old Debian bug report).
13288	+ correct reversed malloc/realloc calls in _nc_doalloc (reported by
13289	  Hans-Joachim Widmaier <hjwidmai@foxboro.com>).
13290	+ correct misplaced parenthesis which caused file-descriptor from
13291	  opening termcap to be lost, from 980725 changes (reported by Andreas
13292	  Jaeger).
13293
13294980815
13295	+ modify lib_setup.c to eliminate unneeded include of <sys/ioctl.h>
13296	  when termios is not used (patch by Todd C Miller).
13297	+ add function _nc_doalloc, to ensure that failed realloc calls do not
13298	  leak memory (reported by Todd C Miller).
13299	+ improved ncsa-telnet terminfo entry.
13300
13301980809
13302	+ correct missing braces around a trace statement in read_entry.c,
13303	  from 980808 (reported by Kim DeVaughn <kimdv@best.com> and Liviu
13304	  Daia).
13305
13306980808
13307	+ fix missing include <errno.h> in ditto.c (reported by Bernhard
13308	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@k5.sucks.eu.org>)
13309	+ add NCSA telnet terminfo entries from Francesco Potorti
13310	  <F.Potorti@cnuce.cnr.it>, from Debian bug reports.
13311	+ make handling of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables more compatible with
13312	  Solaris by allowing them to individually override the window size
13313	  as obtained via ioctl.
13314
13315980801
13316	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to allow for terminal types (e.g., xterm-color)
13317	  which may reset all attributes in the 'op' capability, so that colors
13318	  are set before turning on bold and other attributes, but still after
13319	  turning attributes off.
13320	+ add 'ditto.c' to test directory to illustrate use of newterm for
13321	  initializing multiple screens.
13322	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to recover from failed attempt to link alias
13323	  for a terminfo on a filesystem which does not preserve character case
13324	  (reported by Peter L Jordan <PJordan@chla.usc.edu>).
13325
13326980725
13327	+ updated versions of config.guess and config.sub based on automake 1.3
13328	+ change name-comparisons in lib_termcap to compare no more than 2
13329	  characters (gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8, verified
13330	  with Solaris curses).
13331	+ fix typo in curs_insstr.3x (patch by Todd C Miller)
13332	+ use 'access()' to check if ncurses library should be permitted to
13333	  open or modify files with fopen/open/link/unlink/remove calls, in
13334	  case the calling application is running in setuid mode (request by
13335	  Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>, responding to Duncan Simpson
13336	  <dps@io.stargate.co.uk>).
13337	+ arm100 terminfo entries from Dave Millen <dmill@globalnet.co.uk>).
13338	+ qnxt2 and minitel terminfo entries from esr's version.
13339
13340980718
13341	+ use -R option with ldconfig on FreeBSD because otherwise it resets
13342	  the search path to /usr/lib (reported by Dan Nelson).
13343	+ add -soname option when building shared libraries on OpenBSD 2.x
13344	  (request by QingLong).
13345	+ add configure options --with-manpage-format and
13346	  --with-manpage-renames (request by QingLong).
13347	+ correct conversion of CANCELLED_NUMERIC in write_object(), which was
13348	  omitting the high-order byte, producing a 254 in the compiled
13349	  terminfo.
13350	+ modify return-values of tgetflag, tgetnum, tgetstr, tigetflag,
13351	  tigetnum and tigetstr to be compatible with Solaris (gleaned from
13352	  Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8).
13353	+ modify _nc_syserr_abort to abort only when compiled for debugging,
13354	  otherwise simply exit with an error.
13355
13356980711
13357	+ modify Ada95 'gen' program to use appropriate library suffix (e.g.,
13358	  "_g" for a debug build).
13359	+ update Ada95 'make clean' rule to include generics .ali files
13360	+ add a configure test to ensure that if GNAT is found, that it can
13361	  compile/link working Ada95 program.
13362	+ flush output in beep and flash functions, fixing a problem with
13363	  getstr (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov)
13364	+ fix egcs 1.0.2 warning for etip.h (patch by Chris Johns).
13365	+ correct ifdef/brace nesting in lib_sprintf.c (patch by Bernhard
13366	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@Pool.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE>).
13367	+ correct typo in wattr_get macro from 980509 fixes (patch by Dan
13368	  Nelson).
13369
13370980704
13371	+ merge changes from current XFree86 xterm terminfo descriptions.
13372	+ add configure option '--without-ada'.
13373	+ add a smart-default for termcap 'ac' to terminfo 'acs_chars' which
13374	  corresponds to vt100.
13375	+ change translation for termcap 'rs' to terminfo 'rs2', which is
13376	  the documented equivalent, rather than 'rs1'.
13377
13378980627
13379	+ slow 'worm' down a little, for very fast machines.
13380	+ corrected firstchar/lastchar computation in lib_hline.c
13381	+ simplify some expressions with CHANGED_CELL, CHANGED_RANGE and
13382	  CHANGED_TO_EOL macros.
13383	+ modify init_pair so that if a color-pair is reinitialized, we will
13384	  repaint the areas of the screen whose color changes, like SVr4 curses
13385	  (reported by Christian Maurer <maurer@inf.fu-berlin.de>).
13386	+ modify getsyx/setsyx macros to comply with SVr4 man page which
13387	  says that leaveok() affects their behavior (report by Darryl Miles,
13388	  patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
13389
13390980620
13391	+ review terminfo.5 against Solaris 2.6 curses version, corrected
13392	  several minor errors/omissions.
13393	+ implement tparm %l format.
13394	+ implement tparm printf-style width and precision for %s, %d, %x, %o
13395	  as per XSI.
13396	+ implement tparm dynamic variables (reported by Xiaodan Tang).
13397
13398980613
13399	+ update man page for wattr_set, wattr_get (cf:  980509)
13400	+ correct limits in hashtest, which would cause nonprinting characters
13401	  to be written to large screens.
13402	+ correct configure script, when --without-cxx was specified:  the
13403	  wrong variable was used for cf_cv_type_of_bool.  Compilers up to gcc
13404	  2.8 tolerated the missing 'int'.
13405	+ remove the hardcoded name "gcc" for the GNU Ada compiler.  The
13406	  compiler's name might be something like "egcs" (patch by Juergen
13407	  Pfeifer).
13408	+ correct curs_addch.3x, which implied that echochar could directly
13409	  display control characters (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
13410	+ fix typos in ncurses-intro.html (patch by Sidik Isani
13411	  <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
13412
13413980606
13414	+ add configure test for conflicting use of exception in math.h and
13415	  other headers.
13416	+ minor optimization to 'hash()' function in hashmap.c, reduces its
13417	  time by 10%.
13418	+ correct form of LD_SHARED_OPTS for HP-UX 10.x (patch by Tim Mooney).
13419	+ fix missing quotes for 'print' in MKunctrl.awk script (reported by
13420	  Mihai Budiu <mihaib@gs41.sp.cs.cmu.edu>).
13421	> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
13422	+ correct problem on Solaris (with poll() function) where getch could
13423	  hang indefinitely even if timeout(x) was called.  This turned out to
13424	  be because milliseconds was not updated before 'goto retry' in
13425	  _nc_timed_wait.
13426	+ simplified the function _nc_timed_wait and fixed another bug, which
13427	  was the assumption of !GOOD_SELECT && HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY in *timeleft
13428	  assignment.
13429	+ removed the cycle on EINTR, as it seems to be useless.
13430
13431980530
13432	+ add makefile-rule for test/keynames
13433	+ modify run_tic.sh and shlib to ensure that user's .profile does not
13434	  override the $PATH used to run tic (patch by Tim Mooney).
13435	+ restore LD_SHARED_OPTS to $(LD_SHARED_FLAGS) when linking programs,
13436	  needed for HP-UX shared-library path (recommended by Tim Mooney).
13437	+ remove special case of HP-UX -L options, use +b options to embed
13438	  $(libdir) in the shared libraries (recommended by Tim Mooney).
13439	+ add checks for some possible buffer overflows and unchecked
13440	  malloc/realloc/calloc/strdup return values (patch by Todd C Miller
13441	  <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com>)
13442
13443980523
13444	+ correct maxx/maxy expression for num_columns/num_lines in derwin
13445	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
13446	+ add /usr/share/lib/terminfo and /usr/lib/terminfo as compatibility
13447	  fallbacks to _nc_read_entry(), along with --with-terminfo-dirs
13448	  configure option (suggested by Mike Hopkirk).
13449	+ modify config.guess to recognize Unixware 2.1 and 7 (patch by Mike
13450	  Hopkirk <hops@sco.com>).
13451	+ suppress definition of CC_SHARED_OPTS in LDFLAGS_SHARED in c++
13452	  Makefile.in, since this conflicts when g++ is used with HP-UX
13453	  compiler (reported by Tim Mooney).
13454	+ parenthesize 'strcpy' calls in c++ binding to workaround redefinition
13455	  in some C++ implementations (reported by several people running
13456	  egcs with glibc 2.0.93, analysis by Andreas Jaeger.
13457
13458980516
13459	+ modify write_entry.c so that it will not attempt to link aliases
13460	  with embedded '/', but give only a warning.
13461	+ put -L$(libdir) first when linking programs, except for HP-UX.
13462	+ modify comp_scan.c to handle SVr4 terminfo description for att477,
13463	  which contains a colon in the description field.
13464	+ modify configure script to support SCO osr5.0.5 shared libraries,
13465	  from comp.unix.sco.programmer newsgroup item (Mike Hopkirk).
13466	+ eliminate extra GoTo call in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
13467	  Lukyanov).
13468	+ minor adjustments of const/NCURSES_CONST from IRIX compile.
13469	+ add updates based on esr's 980509 version of terminfo.src.
13470
13471980509
13472	+ correct macros for wattr_set, wattr_get, separate wattrset macro from
13473	  these to preserve behavior that allows attributes to be combined with
13474	  color pair numbers.
13475	+ add configure option --enable-no-padding, to allow environment
13476	  variable $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to eliminate non-mandatory padding,
13477	  thereby making terminal emulators (e.g., for vt100) a little more
13478	  efficient (request by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
13479	+ modify configure script to embed ABI in shared libraries for HP-UX
13480	  10.x (detailed request by Tim Mooney).
13481	+ add test/example of the 'filter()' function.
13482	+ add nxterm and xterm-color terminfo description (request by Cristian
13483	  Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>).
13484	+ modify rxvt terminfo description to clear alternate screen before
13485	  switching back to normal screen, for compatibility with applications
13486	  which use xterm (reported by Manoj Kasichainula <manojk@io.com>).
13487	+ modify linux terminfo description to reset color palette (reported
13488	  by Telford Tendys <telford@eng.uts.edu.au>).
13489	+ correction to doupdate, for case where terminal does not support
13490	  insert/delete character.  The logic did not check that there was a
13491	  difference in alignment of changes to old/new screens before
13492	  repainting the whole non-blank portion of the line.  Modified to fall
13493	  through into logic that reduces by the portion which does not differ
13494	  (reported by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
13495	+ minor performance improvement to wnoutrefresh by moving some
13496	  comparisons out of inner loop.
13497
13498980425
13499	+ modify configure script to substitute NCURSES_CONST in curses.h
13500	+ updated terminfo entries for xterm-xf86-v40, xterm-16color,
13501	  xterm-8bit to correspond to XFree86 3.9Ag.
13502	+ remove restriction that forces ncurses to use setaf/setab if the
13503	  number of colors is greater than 8.  (see 970524 for xterm-16color).
13504	+ change order of -L options (so that $(libdir) is searched first) when
13505	  linking tic and other programs, to workaround HP's linker.
13506	  Otherwise, the -L../lib is embedded when linking against shared
13507	  libraries and the installed program does not run (reported by Ralf
13508	  Hildebrandt).
13509	+ modify configuration of shared libraries on Digital Unix so that
13510	  versioning is embedded in the library, rather than implied by
13511	  links (patch by Tim Mooney).
13512
13513980418
13514	+ modify etip.h to avoid conflict with math.h on HP-UX 9.03 with gcc
13515	  2.8.1 which redefines 'exception' (reported by Ralf Hildebrandt
13516	  <R.Hildebrandt@tu-bs.de>).
13517	+ correct configure tests in CF_SHARED_OPTS which used $CC value to
13518	  check for gcc, rather than autoconf's $GCC value.  This did not
13519	  work properly if the full pathname of the compiler were given
13520	  (reported by Michael Yount <yount@csf.Colorado.edu>).
13521	+ revise check for compiler options to force ANSI mode since repeating
13522	  an option such as -Aa causes HP's compiler to fail on its own headers
13523	  (reported by Clint Olsen <olsenc@ichips.intel.com>).
13524
13525980411
13526	+ ifdef'd has_key() and mcprint() as extended functions.
13527	+ modified several prototypes to correspond with 1997 version of
13528	  X/Open Curses (affects ABI since developers have used attr_get).
13529	+ remove spurious trailing blanks in glibc addon-scripts (patch by
13530	  H.J.Lu).
13531	+ insert a few braces at locations where gcc-2.8.x asks to use them to
13532	  avoid ambiguous else's, use -fpic rather than -fPIC for Linux (patch
13533	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
13534
13535980404
13536	+ split SHLIB_LIST into SHLIB_DIRS/SHLIB_LIST to keep -L options
13537	  before -l to accommodate Solaris' linker (reported by Larry Virden).
13538
13539980328
13540	+ modify lib_color.c to eliminate dependency on orig_colors and
13541	  orig_pair, since SVr4 curses does not require these either, but
13542	  uses them when they are available.
13543	+ add detailed usage-message to infocmp.
13544	+ correct a typo in att6386 entry (a "%?" which was "?").
13545	+ add -f option to infocmp and tic, which formats the terminfo
13546	  if/then/else/endif so that they are readable (with newlines and
13547	  tabs).
13548	+ fixes for glibc addon scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
13549
13550980321
13551	+ revise configure macro CF_SPEED_TYPE so that termcap.h has speed_t
13552	  declared (from Adam J Richter <adam@yggdrasil.com>)
13553	+ remove spurious curs_set() call from leaveok() (J T Conklin).
13554	+ corrected handling leaveok() in doupdate() (patch by Alexander V.
13555	  Lukyanov).
13556	+ improved version of wredrawln (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13557	+ correct c++/Makefile.in so install target do not have embedded ../lib
13558	  to confuse it (patch by Thomas Graf <graf@essi.fr>).
13559	+ add warning to preinstall rule which checks if the installer would
13560	  overwrite a curses.h or termcap.h that is not derived from ncurses.
13561	  (The recommended configuration for developers who need both is to
13562	  use --disable-overwrite).
13563	+ modify preinstall rule in top-level Makefile to avoid implicit
13564	  use of 'sh', to accommodate Ultrix 4.4 (reported by Joao Palhoto
13565	  Matos <jmatos@math.ist.utl.pt>, patch by Thomas Esser
13566	  <te@informatik.uni-hannover.de>)
13567	+ refine ifdef's for TRACE so that libncurses has fewer dependencies
13568	  on libtinfo when TRACE is disabled.
13569	+ modify configure script so that if the --with-termlib option is used
13570	  to generate a separate terminfo library, we chain it to the ncurses
13571	  library with a "-l" option (reported by Darryl Miles and Ian T.
13572	  Zimmerman).
13573
13574980314
13575	+ correct limits and window in wredrawln function (reported/analysis by
13576	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13577	+ correct sed expression in configure script for --with-fallback
13578	  option (patch by Jesse Thilo).
13579	+ correct some places in configure script where $enableval was used
13580	  rather than $withval (patch by Darryl Miles <dlm@g7led.demon.co.uk>).
13581	+ modify some man pages so no '.' or '..' falls between TH and SH
13582	  macros, to accommodate man_db program (reported by Ian T. Zimmerman
13583	  <itz@rahul.net>).
13584	+ terminfo.src 10.2.1 downloaded from ESR's webpage (ESR).
13585	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
13586	+ add copyright notices (and rcs id's) on remaining man pages.
13587	+ corrected prototypes for slk_* functions, using chtype rather than
13588	  attr_t.
13589	+ implemented the wcolor_set() and slk_color() functions
13590	+ the slk_attr_{set,off,on} functions need an additional void*
13591	  parameter according to XSI.
13592	+ fix the C++ and Ada95 binding as well as the man pages to
13593	  reflect above enhancements.
13594
13595980307
13596	+ use 'stat()' rather than 'access()' in toe.c to check for the
13597	  existence of $HOME/.terminfo, since it may be a file.
13598	+ suppress configure CF_CXX_LIBRARY check if we are not using g++
13599	  2.7.x, since this is not needed with g++ 2.8 or egcs (patch by
13600	  Juergen Pfeifer).
13601	+ turn on hashmap scrolling code by default, intend to remedy defects
13602	  by 4.3 release.
13603	+ minor corrections to terminfo.src changelog.
13604
13605980302	4.2 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
13606	+ correct Florian's email address in ncurses-intro.html
13607	+ terminfo.src 10.2.0 (ESR).
13608
13609980228	pre-release
13610	+ add linux-koi8r replace linux-koi8, which is not KOI8 (patch by
13611	  QingLong <qinglong@Bolizm.ihep.su>).
13612	+ minor documentation fixes (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
13613	+ add setlocale() call to ncurses.c (reported by Claes G. Lindblad
13614	  <claesg@algonet.se>).
13615	+ correct sign-extension in lib_insstr.c (reported by Sotiris
13616	  Vassilopoulos <svas@leon.nrcps.ariadne-t.gr>)
13617
13618980221	pre-release
13619	+ regenerated some documentation overlooked in 980214 patch
13620	  (ncurses-intro.doc, curs_outopts.3x.html)
13621	+ minor ifdef change to C++ binding to work with gcc 2.8.0 (patch by
13622	  Juergen Pfeifer).
13623	+ change maintainer's mailing address to florian@gnu.org, change
13624	  tentative mailing list address to bug-ncurses-request@gnu.org (patch
13625	  by Florian La Roche).
13626	+ add definition of $(REL_VERSION) to c++/Makefile.in (reported by Gran
13627	  Hasse <gh@raditex.se>).
13628	+ restore version numbers to Ada95 binding, accidentally deleted by
13629	  copyright patch (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
13630
13631980214	pre-release
13632	+ remove ncurses.lsm from MANIFEST so that it won't be used in FSF
13633	  distributions, though it is retained in development.
13634	+ correct scaling of milliseconds to nanoseconds in lib_napms.c (patch
13635	  by Jeremy Buhler).
13636	+ update mailing-list information (bug-ncurses@gnu.org).
13637	+ update announcement for upcoming 4.2 release.
13638	+ modify -lm test to check for 'sin()' rather than 'floor()'
13639	+ remove spurious commas from terminfo.src descriptions.
13640	+ change copyright notices to Free Software Foundation
13641
13642980207
13643	+ minor fixes for autoconf macros CF_ERRNO, CF_HELP_MESSAGE and
13644	  CF_SIZECHANGE
13645	+ modify Makefile.glibc so that $(objpfx) is defined (H.J.Lu).
13646	+ ifdef-out true-return from _nc_mouse_inline() which depends on
13647	  merge of QNX patch (pending 4.2 release).
13648	> patch to split off seldom-used modules in ncurses (J T Conklin):
13649	  This reduces size by up to 2.6kb.
13650	+ move functionality of _nc_usleep into napms, add configuration case
13651	  for nanosleep().
13652	+ moved wchgat() from lib_addch.c to lib_chgat.c
13653	+ moved clearok(), immedok(), leaveok(), and scrollok() from
13654	  lib_options.c to lib_clearok.c, lib_immedok.c, lib_leaveok.c and
13655	  lib_scrollok.c.
13656	+ moved napms() from lib_kernel.c to lib_napms.c
13657	+ moved echo() and noecho() from lib_raw.c to lib_echo.c
13658	+ moved nl() and nonl() from lib_raw.c to lib_nl.c
13659
13660980131
13661	+ corrected conversion in tclock.c (cf: 971018).
13662	+ updates to Makefile.glibc and associated Linux configure script
13663	  (patch by H.J.Lu).
13664	+ workaround a quoting problem on SunOS with tar-copy.sh
13665	+ correct init_pair() calls in worm.c to work when use_default_colors()
13666	  is not available.
13667	+ include <sys/types.h> in CF_SYS_TIME_SELECT to work with FreeBSD
13668	  2.1.5
13669	+ add ncv capability to FreeBSD console (cons25w), making reverse
13670	  work with color.
13671	+ correct sense of configure-test for sys/time.h inclusion with
13672	  sys/select.h
13673	+ fixes for Ada95/ada_include/Makefile.in to work with --srcdir option.
13674	+ remove unused/obsolete test-program rules from progs/Makefile.in
13675	  (the rules in ncurses/Makefile.in work).
13676	+ remove shared-library loader flags from test/Makefile.in, etc.
13677	+ simplify test/configure.in using new version of autoconf to create
13678	  test/ncurses_cfg.h
13679	+ suppress suffix rules in test/Makefile.in, provide explicit
13680	  dependency to work with --srcdir option and less capable 'make'
13681	  programs.
13682	> adapted from patch for QNX by Xiaodan Tang:
13683	+ initialize %P and %g variables set/used in tparm, and also ensure
13684	  that empty strings don't return a null result from tparam_internal
13685	+ add QNX-specific prototype for vsscanf()
13686	+ move initialization of SP->_keytry from init_keytry() to newterm() to
13687	  avoid resetting it via a keyok() call by mouse_activate().
13688	+ reorganized some functions in lib_mouse() to use case-statements.
13689	+ remove sgr string from qnx terminfo entry since it is reported to
13690	  turn off attributes inconsistently.
13691
13692980124
13693	+ add f/F/b/B commands to ncurses 'b' test to toggle colors, providing
13694	  test for no_color_video.
13695	+ adjusted emx.src to use no_color_video, now works with ncurses 'b'
13696	  and 'k' tests.
13697	+ implement no_color_video attribute, and as a special case, reverse
13698	  colors when the reverse attribute cannot be combined with color.
13699	+ check for empty string in $TERM variable (reported by Brett Michaels
13700	  <brett@xylan.com>).
13701	> from reports by Fred Fish:
13702	+ add configure-test for isascii
13703	+ add configure-test for -lm library.
13704	+ modify CF_BOOL_SIZE to check if C++ bool types are unsigned.
13705	> patches by J.J.G.Ripoll
13706	+ add configure/makefile variables to support .exe extension on
13707	  OS/2 EMX (requires additional autoconf patches).
13708	+ explicitly initialize variables in lib_data.c to appease OS/2 linker
13709	> patches by Fred Fish <fnf@ninemoons.com>
13710	+ misc/Makefile.in (install.data):  Avoid trying to install the CVS
13711	  directory.
13712	+ aclocal.m4 (install.includes):  Remove files in the include directory
13713	  where we are going to install new ones, not the original source
13714	  files.
13715	+ misc/terminfo.src:  Add entry for "beterm", derived from termcap
13716	  distributed with BeOS PR2 using captoinfo.
13717	+ aclocal.m4: Wrap $cf_cv_type_of_bool with quotes (contains space)
13718	+ aclocal.m4: Assume bool types are unsigned.
13719	+ progs/infocmp.c: workaround mwcc 32k function data limit
13720
13721980117
13722	+ correct initialization of color-pair (cf: 970524) in xmas.c, which
13723	  was using only one color-pair for all colors (reported by
13724	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
13725	+ add multithread options for objects build on EMX, for compatibility
13726	  with XFree86.
13727	+ split up an expression in MKlib_gen.sh to work around a problem on
13728	  OS/2 EMX, with 'ash' (patch by J.J.G.Ripoll).
13729	+ change terminfo entries xterm (xterm-xf86-v40), xterm-8bit rs1 to use
13730	  hard reset.
13731	+ rename terminfo entry xterm-xf86-v39t to xterm-xf86-v40
13732	+ remove bold/underline from sun console entries since they're not
13733	  implemented.
13734	+ correct _tracef calls in _tracedump(), which did not separate format
13735	  from parameters.
13736	+ correct getopt string for tic "-o" option, and add it to man page
13737	  synopsis (reported by Darren Hiebert <darren@hmi.com>).
13738	+ correct typo in panel/Makefile.in, reversed if-statement in scrolling
13739	  optimization (Alexander V.  Lukyanov).
13740	+ test for 'remove()', use 'unlink() if not found (patch by Philippe De
13741	  Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>).
13742	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
13743	+ Improve a feature of the forms driver.  For invisible fields
13744	  (O_VISIBLE off) only the contents but not the attributes are cleared.
13745	  We now clear both.  (Reported by Javier Kohan
13746	  <jkohan@adan.fceia.unr.edu.ar>)
13747	+ The man page form_field_opts.3x makes now clear, that invisible
13748	  fields are also always inactive.
13749	+ adjust ifdef's to compile the C++ binding with the just released
13750	  gcc-2.8.0 c++ and the corresponding new C++ libraries.
13751
13752980110
13753	+ correct "?" command in ncurses.c; it was performing non-screen writes
13754	  while the program was in screen mode.  (It "worked" in 1.9.9e because
13755	  that version sets OPOST and OCRNL incorrectly).
13756	+ return error from functions in lib_kernel, lib_raw and lib_ti if
13757	  cur_term is null, or if underlying I/O fails.
13758	+ amend change to tputs() so that it does not return an error if
13759	  cur_term is null, since some applications depend on being able to use
13760	  tputs without initializing the terminal (reported by Christian J.
13761	  Robinson <infynity@cyberhighway.net>).
13762
13763980103
13764	+ add a copy of emx.src from J.J.G.Ripoll's OS/2 EMX version of ncurses
13765	  1.9.9e, together with fixes/additions for the "ansi" terminal type.
13766	+ add tic check for save/restore cursor if change_scroll_region is
13767	  defined (reference: O'Reilly book).
13768	+ modify read_termcap.c to handle EMX-style pathnames (reported by
13769	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
13770	+ modify lib_raw.c to use EMX's setmode (patch from J.J.G.Ripoll).
13771	  Ripoll says EMX's curses does this.
13772	+ modify _nc_tic_expand() to generate \0 rather than \200.
13773	+ move/revise 'expand()' from dump_entry.c to ncurses library as
13774	  _nc_tic_expand(), for use by tack.
13775	+ decode \a as \007 for terminfo, as per XSI.
13776	+ correct translation of terminfo "^@", to \200, like \0.
13777	+ modify next_char() to treat <cr><lf> the same as <newline>, for
13778	  cross-platform compatibility.
13779	+ use new version of autoconf (971230) to work around limited
13780	  environment on CLIX, due to the way autoconf builds --help message.
13781	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
13782	+ check that the Ada95 binding runs against the correct version of
13783	  ncurses.
13784	+ insert constants about the library version into the main spec-file of
13785	  the Ada95 binding.
13786
13787971227
13788	+ modify open/fopen calls to use binary mode, needed for EMX.
13789	+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.10 mods for OS/2
13790	  EMX (from J.J.G.Ripoll).
13791	+ generated ncurses_cfg.h with patch (971222) to autoconf 2.12 which
13792	  bypasses limited sed buffer length.
13793	> several changes from Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll <worm@arrakis.es>
13794	  (J.J.G.Ripoll) to support OS/2 EMX:
13795	+ add a _scrolling flag to SP, to set when we encounter a terminal
13796	  that simply cannot scroll.
13797	+ corrected logic in _nc_add_to_try(), by ensuring that strings with
13798	  embedded \200 characters are matched.
13799	+ don't assume the host has 'link()' function, for linking terminfo
13800	  entries.
13801
13802971220
13803	+ if there's no ioctl's to support sigwinch handler, disable it.
13804	+ add configure option --disable-ext-funcs to remove the extended
13805	  functions from the build.
13806	+ add configure option --with-termlib to generate the terminfo
13807	  functions as a separate library.
13808	+ add 'sources' rule to facilitate cross-compiling.
13809	+ review/fix order of mostlyclean/clean/distclean rules.
13810	+ modify install-rule for headers to first remove old header, in
13811	  case there was a symbolic link that confuses the install script.
13812	+ corrected substitution for NCURSES_CONST in term.h (cf: 971108)
13813	+ add null pointer checks in wnoutrefresh(), overlap() (patch by
13814	  Xiaodan Tang <xtang@qnx.com>)
13815	+ correct tputs(), which could dereference a null cur_term if invoked
13816	  before terminal is initialized (patch by Christopher Seawood
13817	  <cls@seawood.org>)
13818	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
13819	+ makes better use of "pragma Inline" in the Ada95 binding
13820	+ resynchronizes the generated html manpages
13821
13822971213
13823	+ additional fixes for man pages' section references
13824	+ add (for debugging) a check for ich/ich1 conflict with smir/rmir
13825	  to tic, etc.
13826	+ remove hpa/vpa from rxvt terminal description because they are not
13827	  implemented correctly, added sgr0.
13828	+ change ncurses 's' to use raw mode, so ^Q works (reported by Rudolf
13829	  Leitgeb <leitgeb@leland.stanford.edu>)
13830
13831971206
13832	+ modify protection when installing libraries to (normally) not
13833	  executable.  HP-UX shared libraries are an exception.
13834	+ add configure check for 'tack'.
13835	+ implement script for renaming section references in man page install,
13836	  for Debian configuration.
13837	+ add validity-check for SP in trace code in baudrate() (reported by
13838	  Daniel Weaver).
13839	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov (fixes to match sol25 curses)
13840	+ modify 'overlay()' so that copy applies target window background to
13841	  characters.
13842	+ correct 'mvwin()' so that it does not clear the previous locations.
13843	+ correct lib_acs.c so that 8-bit character is not sign expanded in
13844	  case of wide characters in chtype.
13845	+ correct control-char test in lib_addch.c for use with wide chars
13846	+ use attribute in the chtype when adding a control character in
13847	  lib_addch.c control char was added with current attribute
13848
13849971129
13850	+ save/restore errno in _tracef() function
13851	+ change treatment of initialize_color to use a range of 0..1000
13852	  (recommended by Daniel Weaver).
13853	+ set umask in mkinstalldirs, fixing problems reported by users who
13854	  have set root's umask to 077.
13855	+ correct bug in tic that caused capabilities to be reprinted at the
13856	  end of output when they had embedded comments.
13857	+ rewrote wredrawln to correspond to XSI, and split-out since it is
13858	  not often used (from report by Alexander V. Lukyanov, 970825)
13859	+ rewrote Dan Nelson's change to make it portable, as well as to
13860	  correct logic for handling backslashes.
13861	+ add code to _nc_tgetent() to make it work more like a real tgetent().
13862	  It removes all empty fields, and removes all but the first in a group
13863	  of duplicate caps.  The code was pulled from the BSD libtermcap code
13864	  in termcap.c (patch by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>
13865	+ don't include --enable-widec in the --with-develop configure option,
13866	  since it is not binary-compatible with 4.1 (noted by Alexander V.
13867	  Lukyanov)
13868	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
13869	+ further improvements of the usage of elaboration pragmas in the Ada95
13870	  binding
13871	+ enhanced Ada95 sample to use the user_data mechanism for panels.
13872	+ a fix for the configuration script to make gnat-3.10 the required
13873	  version.
13874	+ resync of the html version of the manpages
13875
13876971122
13877	> fixes/updates for terminfo.src:
13878	+ add vt220-js, pilot, rbcomm, datapoint entries from esr's 27-jun-97
13879	  version.
13880	+ add hds200 description (Walter Skorski)
13881	+ add EMX 0.9b descriptions
13882	+ correct rmso/smso capabilities in wy30-mc and wy50-mc (Daniel Weaver)
13883	+ rename xhpterm back to hpterm.
13884	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
13885	+ Improves the usage of elaboration pragmas for the Ada95 binding.
13886	+ Adds a translation of the test/rain.c into Ada95 to the samples.
13887	  This has been contributed to the project by Laurent Pautet
13888	  (pautet@gnat.com)
13889
13890971115
13891	+ increase MAX_NAME_SIZE to 512 to handle extremely long alias list
13892	  in HP-UX terminfo.
13893	+ correction & simplification of delay computation in tputs, based on
13894	  comments from Daniel Weaver.
13895	+ replace test for SCO with more precise header tests.
13896	+ add configure test for unsigned literals, use in NCURSES_BITS macro.
13897	+ comment-out the -PIC, etc., flags from c++, progs and test makefiles
13898	  since they probably are not needed, and are less efficient (noted by
13899	  Juergen Fluk)
13900	+ add -L$(libdir) to loader options, after -L../lib so that loaders
13901	  that record this information will tend to do the right thing if
13902	  the programs are moved around after installing them (suggested by
13903	  Juergen Fluk).
13904	+ add -R option to loader options for programs for Solaris if the
13905	  --enable-rpath option is specified for the libraries.
13906
13907971112
13908	+ correct installed filename for shared libraries on *BSD (reported by
13909	  Juergen Fluk).
13910
13911971108
13912	+ cleanup logic for deciding when tputs() should call delay_output(),
13913	  based on comments from Daniel Weaver.
13914	+ modified tputs() to avoid use of float.
13915	+ correct use of trailpad in tputs(), which used the wrong variable
13916	  in call to delay_output().
13917	+ correct inverted expression for null-count in delay_output()
13918	  (analysis by Daniel Weaver).
13919	+ apply --enable-rpath option to Solaris (requested by Larry Virden).
13920	+ correct substitution of EXTRA_CFLAGS for gcc 2.6.3
13921	+ correct check for error-return by _nc_tgetent(), which returns 0
13922	  for success.
13923	+ add configure test for BSD 4.4 cgetent() function, modify
13924	  read_termcap.c to use the host's version of that if found, using the
13925	  terminal database on FreeBSD (reported by Peter Wemm).
13926	+ add u8, u9 strings to sun-il description for Daniel Weaver.
13927	+ use NCURSES_CONST in panel's user-pointer.
13928	+ modify edit_cfg.sh and MKterm.h.awk.in to substitute NCURSES_CONST
13929	  so that will work on NeXT.
13930	+ use _nc_set_screen() rather than assignments to SP to fix port to
13931	  NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
13932
13933971101
13934	+ force mandatory padding in bell and flash_screen, as specified in
13935	  XSI.
13936	+ don't allow padding_baud_rate to override mandatory delays (reported
13937	  by Daniel Weaver).
13938	+ modify delay_output() to use _nc_timed_wait() if no baudrate has been
13939	  defined, or if the cur_term pointer is not initialized.  XSI treats
13940	  this as unspecified.  (requested by Daniel Weaver).
13941	+ change getcap-cache ifdef's to eliminate unnecessary chdir/mkdir
13942	  when that feature is not configured.
13943	+ remove _nc_err_abort() calls when write_entry.c finds a directory but
13944	  cannot write to it, e.g., when translating part/all of /etc/termcap
13945	  (reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>).
13946	  (this dates back to 951102 in 1.9.7a).
13947	+ minor ifdef fixes to compile with atac and glibc 2.0.5c
13948	+ add check for -lgen when configuring regexpr.h
13949	+ modify Solaris shared-library option "-d y" to "-dy" to workaround
13950	  incompatibility of gcc 2.7.2 vs vendor's tools.
13951
13952971026
13953	+ correct ifdef's for struct winsize vs struct ttysize in lib_setup.c
13954	  to compile on SCO.
13955	+ remove dangling backslash in panel/Makefile.in
13956	+ modify MKkeyname.awk to work with SCO's nawk, which dumps core in the
13957	  length() function.
13958	+ correct length of allocation in _nc_add_to_try(), to allow for
13959	  trailing null.
13960	+ correct logic in _nc_remove_key(), which was discarding too many
13961	  nodes (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov)
13962
13963971025
13964	+ add definition for $(REL_VERSION) to test/Makefile.in, so *BSD
13965	  shared libraries link properly (see 970524).
13966	+ modify Linux shared-library generation to include library
13967	  dependencies (e.g., -lncurses and -lgpm) in the forms, menu and
13968	  panel libraries (suggested by Juergen Pfeifer).
13969	+ modify configure script to use config.guess and config.sub rather
13970	  than uname, which is unreliable on some systems.
13971	+ updated Makefile.glibc, test-built with glibc 2.0.5c
13972	+ modify keyname() to return values consistent with SVr4 curses (patch
13973	  by Juergen Fluk).
13974	> changes requested by Daniel Weaver:
13975	+ modify delay_output() so that it uses the same output function as
13976	  tputs() if called from that function.
13977	+ move _baudrate from SCREEN to TERMINAL so that low-level use of
13978	  tputs works when SP is not set.
13979	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
13980	+ factor lib_menu and lib_form into smaller modules
13981	+ clean up the interface between panel and SCREEN
13982	+ minor changes to the Ada95 mouse support implementation
13983	+ minor bugfix in C++ binding to ripoff windows
13984	+ fix a few Ada95 html documentation pages
13985
13986971018
13987	+ split-out lib_ungetch.c, make runtime link to resizeterm() to
13988	  decouple those modules from lib_restart.c
13989	+ add xterm-xf86-v39t description to terminfo.src
13990	+ reset SP->_endwin in lib_tstp.c cleanup() function after calling
13991	  endwin() to avoid unnecessary repainting if the application has
13992	  established an atexit function, etc.  Encountered this problem in
13993	  the c++ demo, whose destructors repaint the screen.
13994	+ combine _nc_get_screensize() and resizeterm() calls as new function
13995	  _nc_update_screensize().
13996	+ minor fixes to allow compile with g++ (suggested by Nelson H. F.
13997	  Beebe).
13998	+ implement install-rules for Ada95 makefiles.
13999	+ use screen_lines or MAXLINES as needed where LINES was coded,
14000	  as well as screen_columns for COLS, in the ncurses library.
14001	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
14002	+ modify logic for ripped-off lines to handle several SCREENs.
14003	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
14004	+ factors lib_slk.c into some smaller modules
14005	+ factors panel.c into some smaller modules
14006	+ puts the static information about the current panel stack into the
14007	  SCREEN structure to allow different panel stacks on different
14008	  screens.
14009	+ preliminary fix for an error adjusting LINES to account for
14010	  ripped-off lines.
14011
14012971011
14013	+ move _nc_max_click_interval and other mouse interface items to SCREEN
14014	  struct so that they are associated with a single terminal, and also
14015	  save memory when the application does not need a mouse (roughly 3k vs
14016	  0.5k on Linux).
14017	+ modify mouseinterval() so that a negative parameter queries the
14018	  click-interval without modifying it.
14019	+ modify ncurses 'i' test to work with ncurses' apparent extension from
14020	  SVr4, i.e., allows nocbreak+noecho (analysis by Alexander V.
14021	  Lukyanov).
14022	+ add configure options --with-ada-includes and --with-ada-objects,
14023	  to drive Ada95 binding install (not yet implemented).
14024	+ install C++ binding as -lncurses++ and associated headers with the
14025	  other ncurses headers.
14026	+ fix header uninstall if configure --srcdir is used.
14027	> minor interface changes to support 'tack' program -TD
14028	  (request by Daniel Weaver <danw@znyx.com>).
14029	+ export functions _nc_trans_string() and _nc_msec_cost().
14030	+ add variable _nc_nulls_sent, to record the number of padding
14031	  characters output in delay_output().
14032	+ move tests for generic_type and hard_copy terminals in setupterm()
14033	  to the end of that function so that the library will still be
14034	  initialized, though not generally useful for curses programs.
14035	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
14036	+ modify ClrBottom() to avoid using clr_eos if there is only one line
14037	  to erase.
14038	+ typo in configure --help.
14039	> patch by J T Conklin (with minor resync against Juergen's changes)
14040	+ split-out lib_flash.c from lib_beep.c
14041	+ split-out lib_hline.c and lib_vline.c from lib_box.c
14042	+ split-out lib_wattron.c, lib_wattroff.c from lib_addch.c
14043
14044971005
14045	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
14046	+ correct source/target of c++/edit_cfg.sh
14047
14048971004
14049	+ add color, mouse support to kterm terminfo entry.
14050	+ modify lib_mouse.c to recognize rxvt, kterm, color_xterm also as
14051	  providing "xterm"-style mouse.
14052	+ updated rxvt's terminfo description to correspond to 2.21b, with
14053	  fixes for the acsc (the box1 capability is incorrect, ech1 does not
14054	  work).
14055	+ fix logic in parse_entry.c that discarded acsc when 'synthesizing'
14056	  an entry from equivalents in XENIX or AIX.  This lets ncurses handle
14057	  the distribution copy of rxvt's terminfo.
14058	+ modify acsc capability for linux and linux-koi8 terminfo descriptions
14059	  (from Pavel Roskin <pavel@absolute.spb.su>).
14060	+ corrected definition in curses.h for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I'
14061	  rather than 'i' (see 970802).
14062	+ updated terminfo.src with reformatted acsc entries, and repaired the
14063	  trashed entries with spurious '\' characters that this exposed.
14064	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to reformat acsc entries into canonical
14065	  form (sorted, unique mapping).
14066	+ add configure script to generate c++/etip.h
14067	+ add configure --with-develop option, to enable by default most of the
14068	  experimental options (requested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14069	+ rename 'deinstall' to 'uninstall', following GNU convention
14070	  (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14071	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
14072	+ modify tactics 2 and 5 in onscreen_mvcur(), to allow them on the last
14073	  line of the screen, since carriage return will not cause a newline.
14074	+ remove clause from PutCharLR() that would try to use
14075	  eat_newline_glitch since that apparently does not work on some
14076	  terminals (e.g., M$ telnet).
14077	+ correct a limit check in scroll_csr_backward()
14078	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
14079	+ adds dummy implementations of methods above() and below() to the
14080	  NCursesPanel class.
14081	+ fixes missing returncode in NCursesWindow::ripoffline()
14082	+ fixes missing returncode in TestApplication::run() in demo.cc
14083	+ We should at least give a comment in etip.h why it is currently a
14084	  problem to install the C++ binding somewhere
14085	+ makes the WINDOW* argument of wenclose() a const.
14086	+ modifies several of the routines in lib_adabind.c to use a const
14087	  WINDOW* argument.
14088
14089970927
14090	+ add 'deinstall' rules.
14091	+ use explicit assignments in configure --without-progs option to
14092	  work around autoconf bug which doesn't always set $withval.
14093	+ check for ldconfig, don't try to run it if not found.
14094	+ implement simple/unoptimized case in lib_doupdate.c to handle
14095	  display with magic cookie glitch, tested with ncurses.c program.
14096	+ correct missing _tracef in getmouse(), to balance the returnCode
14097	  macro.
14098	+ simplify show_attr() in ncurses.c using termattrs().
14099	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
14100	+ provides missing inlines for mvw[hv]line in cursesw.h of the C++
14101	  binding
14102	+ fixes a typo in a comment of frm_driver.c
14103	+ Enhances Ada95 Makefiles to fulfill the requirement of GNAT-3.10 that
14104	  generics should be compiled.  Proper fixes to the configuration
14105	  scripts are also provided.
14106
14107970920
14108	+ several modifications to the configure script (requested by Ward
14109	  Horner):
14110	  + add configure options --without-progs, to suppress the build of the
14111	    utility programs, e.g., for cross-compiling.
14112	  + add $(HOSTCCFLAGS) and $(HOSTLDFLAGS) symbols to ncurses
14113	    Makefile.in, to simplify setup for cross compiling.
14114	  + add logic in configure script to recognize "--target=vxworks", and
14115	    generate load/install actions for VxWorks objects.
14116	+ move typedef for sigaction_t into SigAction.h to work around problem
14117	  generating lint library.
14118	+ modify fty_regex.c to reflect renaming of ifdef's for regular
14119	  expressions.
14120	+ simplify ifdef in lib_setup.c for TIOCGWINSZ since that symbol may
14121	  reside in <sys/ioctl.h>.
14122	+ merge testcurs.c with version from PDCurses 2.3, clarifying some of
14123	  the more obscure tests, which rely upon color.
14124	+ use macros getbegyx() and getmaxyx() in newdemo.c and testcurs.c
14125	+ modify ncurses.c to use getbegyx() and getmaxyx() macros to cover up
14126	  implementation difference wrt SVr4 curses, allow 's' test to work.
14127	+ add missing endwin() to testscanw.c program (reported by Fausto
14128	  Saporito <fausap@itb.it>).
14129	+ fixes/updates for Makefile.glibc and related files under sysdeps
14130	  (patch by H.J.Lu).
14131	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
14132	+ add checks for null pointers, especially WINDOW's throughout the
14133	  ncurses library.
14134	+ solve a problem with wrong calculation of panel overlapping (reported
14135	  by Ward Horner):
14136	  + make sure that a panel's window isn't a pad.
14137	  + do more error checking in module lib_touch.c
14138	+ missing files for Ada95 binding from the last patch
14139	+ synch. of generated html pages (RCS-Id's were wrong in html files)
14140	+ support for Key_Resize in Ada binding
14141	+ changed documentation style in ./c++/cursesm.h
14142	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
14143	+ undo attempt to do recursive inlining for PutChar(), noting that it
14144	  did not improve timing measurably, but inflated the size of
14145	  lib_doupdate.o
14146
14147970913
14148	+ modify rain.c to use color.
14149	+ correct scroll_csr_backward() to match scroll_csr_forward().
14150	+ minor adjustment to llib-lncurses, to work with Solaris 2.5.1
14151	+ minor fixes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure to reflect renaming
14152	  of configure cache variables in 970906.
14153	+ correct logic involving changes to O_VISIBLE option in
14154	  Synchronize_Options function in frm_driver.c (Tony Hoffmann
14155	  <Tony.Hoffmann@hia.nrc.ca>)
14156	+ add $(HOSTCC) symbol to ncurses Makefile.in, to simplify setup for
14157	  cross compiling (suggested by Chris Johns).
14158	+ modify ifdef in lib_setup.c to only include <sys/ioctl.h> if we can
14159	  use it to support screen-size calculation (reported by Chris Johns).
14160	+ #undef unctrl to avoid symbol conflict in port to RTEMS (reported by
14161	  Chris Johns <cjohns@plessey.com.au>)
14162	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
14163	+ simplified, made minor corrections to Ada95 binding to form
14164	  fieldtype.
14165	+ The C++ binding has been enhanced:
14166	  + Improve NCursesWindow class:  added additional methods to cover
14167	    more ncurses functionality.  Make refresh() and noutrefresh()
14168	    virtual members to allow different implementation in the
14169	    NCursesPanel class.
14170	  + CAUTION:  changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of
14171	    NCursesWindow class.
14172	  + Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a
14173	    reimplementation of refresh() in the base class.  Added
14174	    noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel.
14175	  + Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform
14176	    functionality.
14177	  + Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to etip.h
14178	  + Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration of
14179	    menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of title lines
14180	    and Soft-Label-Keys for an application.
14181	  + Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menu's fieldlist.
14182	  + Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for menus.
14183	  + Enhanced demo.
14184	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_def.c:  take into account that copyarg and
14185	  freearg for a fieldtype may be NULL, makearg must not be NULL
14186	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_type.c:  in set_fieldtype_arg() makearg must
14187	  not be NULL, copyarg and freearg may be NULL.
14188	+ Fixed a bug in form/frm_def.c:  Allow Disconnect_Fields() if it is
14189	  already disconnected.
14190	+ Enhance form/frm_driver.c:  Allow growth of dynamic fields also on
14191	  navigation requests.
14192	+ Fixed a bug in form/fty_enum.c:  wrong position of postincrement in
14193	  case-insensitiva comparison routine.
14194	+ Enhanced form/lib_adabind.c with function _nc_get_field() to get a
14195	  forms field by index.
14196	+ Enhanced menu/m_adabind.c with function _nc_get_item() to get a menus
14197	  item by index.
14198	+ Fixed in curses.h.in:  make chtype argument for pechochar() constant.
14199	  Mark wbkgdset() as implemented, remove wbkgdset macro, because it was
14200	  broken (didn't handle colors correctly).
14201	+ Enhanced lib_mouse.c: added _nc_has_mouse() function
14202	+ Added _nc_has_mouse() prototype to curses.priv.h
14203	+ Modified lib_bkgd.c:  hopefully correct implementation of wbkgdset();
14204	  streamlined implementation of wbkgd()
14205	+ Modified lib_mvwin.c:  Disable move of a pad.  Implement (costly)
14206	  move of subwindows.  Fixed update behavior of movements of regular
14207	  windows.
14208	+ Fixed lib_pad.c:  make chtype argument of pechochar() const.
14209	+ Fixed lib_window.c:  dupwin() is not(!) in every bit a really clone
14210	  of the original.  Subwindows become regular windows by doing a
14211	  dupwin().
14212	+ Improved manpage form_fieldtype.3x
14213	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
14214	+ simplify the PutChar() handling of exit_am_mode, because we already
14215	  know that auto_right_margin is true.
14216	+ add a check in PutChar() for ability to insert to the case of
14217	  shifting character to LR corner.
14218	+ in terminal initialization by _nc_screen_resume(), make sure that
14219	  terminal right margin mode is known.
14220	+ move logic that invokes touchline(), or does the equivalent, into
14221	  _nc_scroll_window().
14222	+ modify scrolling logic use of insert/delete line capability, assuming
14223	  that they affect the screen contents only within the current
14224	  scrolling region.
14225	+ modify rain.c to demonstrate SIGWINCH handler.
14226	+ remove logic from getch() that would return an ERR if the application
14227	  called getch() when the cursor was at the lower-right corner of the
14228	  physical screen, and the terminal does not have insert-character
14229	  ability.
14230	+ change view.c so that it breaks out of getch() loop if a KEY_RESIZE
14231	  is read, and modify logic in getch() so this fix will yield the
14232	  desired behavior, i.e., the screen is repainted automatically when
14233	  the terminal window is resized.
14234
14235970906
14236	+ add configure option --enable-sigwinch
14237	+ modify view.c to test KEY_RESIZE logic, with "-r" option.
14238	+ modify testcurs.c to eliminate misleading display wrt cursor type
14239	  by testing if the terminal supports cnorm, civis, cvvis.
14240	+ several fixes for m68k/NeXT 4.0, to bring cur_term, _nc_curr_line and
14241	  _nc_curr_col variables into linked programs:  move these variables,
14242	  making new modules lib_cur_term and trace_buf (reported by Francisco
14243	  Alberto Tomei Torres <fatomei@sandburg.unm.edu>).
14244	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
14245	+ add pseudo-functionkey KEY_RESIZE which is returned by getch() when
14246	  the SIGWINCH handler has been called since the last call to
14247	  doupdate().
14248	+ modify lib_twait.c to hide EINTR only if HIDE_EINTR is defined.
14249	+ add SIGWINCH handler to ncurses library which is used if there is no
14250	  application SIGWINCH handler in effect when the screen is
14251	  initialized.
14252	+ make linked list of all SCREEN structures.
14253	+ move curses.h include before definition of SCREEN to use types in
14254	  that structure.
14255	+ correction to ensure that wgetstr uses only a newline to force a
14256	  scroll (970831).
14257
14258970831
14259	+ add experimental configure option --enable-safe-sprintf; the normal
14260	  mode now allocates a buffer as large as the screen for the
14261	  lib_printw.c functions.
14262	+ modify wgetch to refresh screen when reading ungetch'd characters,
14263	  since the application may require this - SVr4 does this.
14264	+ refine treatment of newline in wgetstr to echo only when this would
14265	  force the screen to scroll.
14266
14267970830
14268	+ remove override in wgetstr() that forces keypad(), since SVr4 does
14269	  not do this.
14270	+ correct y-reference for erasure in wgetstr() when a wrap forces a
14271	  scroll.
14272	+ correct x-position in waddch() after a wrap forces a scroll.
14273	+ echo newline in wgetstr(), making testscanw.c scroll properly when
14274	  scanw is done.
14275	+ modify vwscanw() to avoid potential buffer overflow.
14276	+ rewrote lib_printw.c to eliminate fixed-buffer limits.
14277	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
14278	+ correct an error in handling cooked mode in wgetch(); processing
14279	  was in the wrong order.
14280	+ simplified logic in wgetch() that handles backspace, etc., by using
14281	  wechochar().
14282	+ correct wechochar() so that it interprets the output character as
14283	  in waddch().
14284	+ modify pechochar() to use prefresh() rather than doupdate(), since
14285	  the latter does not guarantee immediate refresh of the pad.
14286	+ modify pechochar() so that if called with a non-pad WINDOW, will
14287	  invoke wechochar() instead.
14288	+ modify fifo indices to allow fifo to be longer than 127 bytes.
14289
14290970823
14291	+ add xterm-8bit to terminfo.src
14292	+ moved logic for SP->_fifohold inside check_pending() to make it
14293	  work properly when we add calls to that function.
14294	+ ensure that bool functions return only TRUE or FALSE, and TRUE/FALSE
14295	  are assigned to bool values (patch by H.J.Lu).
14296	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
14297	+ several fixes to getch:
14298	  1.  Separate cooked and raw keys in fifo
14299	  2.  Fix the case of ungetch'ed KEY_MOUSE
14300	  3.  wrap the code for hiding EINTR with ifdef HIDE_EINTR
14301	  4.  correctly handle input errors (i.e., EINTR) without loss of raw
14302	      keys
14303	  5.  recognize ESC KEY_LEFT and similar
14304	  6.  correctly handle the case of reception of KEY_MOUSE from gpm
14305	+ correct off-by-one indexing error in _nc_mouse_parse(), that caused
14306	  single mouse events (press/release) to be ignored in favor of
14307	  composed events (click).  Improves on a fix from integrating gpm
14308	  support in 961229.
14309	+ add another call to check_pending, before scrolling, for
14310	  line-breakout optimization
14311	+ improve hashmap.c by
14312	  1.  fixed loop condition in grow_hunks()
14313	  2.  not marking lines with offset 0
14314	  3.  fixed condition of 'too far' criteria, thus one-line hunks are
14315	  ignored and two lines interchanged won't pass.
14316	+ rewrote/simplified _nc_scroll_optimize() by separating into two
14317	  passes, forward/backward, looking for chunks moving only in the given
14318	  direction.
14319	+ move logic that emits sgr0 when initializing the screen to
14320	  _nc_screen_init(), now invoked from newterm.
14321	+ move cursor-movement cleanup from endwin() into _nc_mvcur_wrap()
14322	  function and screen cleanup (i.e., color) into _nc_screen_wrap()
14323	  function.
14324	+ add new functions _nc_screen_init(), _nc_screen_resume() and
14325	  _nc_screen_wrap().
14326	+ rename _nc_mvcur_scrolln() to _nc_scrolln().
14327	+ add a copy of acs_map[] to the SCREEN structure, where it can be
14328	  stored/retrieved via set_term().
14329	+ move variables _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok, _nc_windows into the SCREEN
14330	  structure.
14331
14332970816
14333	+ implement experimental _nc_perform_scroll().
14334	+ modify newterm (actually _nc_setupscreen()) to emit an sgr0 when
14335	  initializing the screen, as does SVr4 (reported by Alexander V.
14336	  Lukyanov).
14337	+ added test_progs rule to ncurses/Makefile.
14338	+ modify test/configure.in to check if initscr is already in $LIBS
14339	  before looking for (n)curses library.
14340	+ correct version-number in configure script for OSF1 shared-library
14341	  options (patch by Tim Mooney).
14342	+ add -DNDEBUG to CPPFLAGS for --enable-assertions (as Juergen
14343	  originally patched) since the c++ demo files do not necessarily
14344	  include ncurses_cfg.h
14345	+ supply default value for --enable-assertions option in configure
14346	  script (reported by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu>).
14347	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
14348	+ correct/simplify logic of werase(), wclrtoeol() and wclrbot().  See
14349	  example firstlast.c
14350	+ optimize waddch_literal() and waddch_nosync() by factoring out
14351	  common subexpressions.
14352	+ correct sense of NDEBUG ifdef for CHECK_POSITION macro.
14353	+ corrections to render_char(), to make handling of colored blanks
14354	  match SVr4 curses, as well as to correct a bug that xor'd space
14355	  against the background character.
14356	+ replaced hash function with a faster one (timed it)
14357	+ rewrote the hashmap algorithm to be one-pass, this avoids multiple
14358	  cost_effective() calls on the same lines.
14359	+ modified cost_effective() so it is now slightly more precise.
14360	> patches for glibc integration (H.J.Lu):
14361	+ add modules define_key, keyok, name_match, tries
14362	+ add makefile rules for some of the unit tests in ncurses (mvcur,
14363	  captoinfo, hardscroll, hashmap).
14364	+ update Linux configure-script for wide-character definitions.
14365
14366970809
14367	+ modify _tracebits() to show the character size (e.g., CS8).
14368	+ modify tparm() to emit '\200' where the generated string would have a
14369	  null (reported by From:  Ian Dall <Ian.Dall@dsto.defence.gov.au> for
14370	  terminal type ncr7900).
14371	+ modify install process so that ldconfig is not invoked if the
14372	  package is built with an install-prefix.
14373	+ correct test program for chtype size (reported by Tim Mooney).
14374	+ add configure option --disable-scroll-hints, using this to ifdef the
14375	  logic that computes indices for _nc_scroll_optimize().
14376	+ add module ncurses/softscroll.c, to perform single-stage computation
14377	  of scroll indices used in _nc_scroll_optimize().  This is faster than
14378	  the existing scrolling algorithm, but tends to make too-small hunks.
14379	+ eliminate fixed buffer size in _nc_linedump().
14380	+ minor fixes to lib_doupdate.c to add tradeoff between clr_eol (el)
14381	  and clr_bol (el1), refine logic in ClrUpdate() and ClrBottom() (patch
14382	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14383	+ add test/testaddch.c, from a pending patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov.
14384	+ correct processing of "configure --enable-assertions" option (patch
14385	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
14386
14387970802
14388	+ add '-s' (single-step) option too test/hashtest.c, correct an error
14389	  in loop limit for '-f' (footer option), toggle scrollok() when
14390	  writing footer to avoid wrap at lower-right corner.
14391	+ correct behavior of clrtoeol() immediately after wrapping cursor,
14392	  which was not clearing the line at the cursor position (reported by
14393	  Liviu Daia <daia@stoilow.imar.ro>).
14394	+ corrected mapping for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I' rather than 'i'
14395	  (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@tezcat.com>).
14396	+ many corrections to make progs/capconvert work, as well as make it
14397	  reasonably portable and integrated with ncurses 4.1 (reported by Dave
14398	  Furstenau <df@ravine.binary.net>).
14399
14400970726
14401	+ add flag SP->_fifohold, corresponding logic to modify the behavior of
14402	  the line breakout logic so that if the application does not read
14403	  input, refreshes will not be stopped, but only slowed.
14404	+ generate slk_attr_off(), slk_attr_on(), slk_attr_set(), vid_attr(),
14405	  ifdef'd for wide-character support, since ncurses' WA_xxx attribute
14406	  masks are identical with the A_xxx masks.
14407	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to generate ifdef'd functions to support optional
14408	  configuration of wide-characters.
14409	+ modify tset to behave more like SVr4's tset, which does not modify
14410	  the settings of intr, quit or erase unless they are given as command
14411	  options (reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>).
14412	+ modify tset to look in /etc/ttys or /etc/ttytype if the configuration
14413	  does not have getttynam().
14414	+ extend baudrate table in tset.c to match baudrate() function.
14415	+ add table entries for B230400 and B460800 to baudrate() function.
14416	+ improve breakout logic by allowing it before the first line updated,
14417	  which is what SVr4 curses does (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14418	+ correct initialization of vcost in relative_move(), for cursor-down
14419	  case (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14420	> nits gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-3:
14421	+ install symbolic link for intotocap.
14422	+ reference libc directly when making shared libraries.
14423	+ correct renaming of curs_scr_dmp.3x in man_db.renames.
14424	+ guard tgetflag() and other termcap functions against null cur_term
14425	  pointer.
14426
14427970719
14428	+ corrected initial state of software echo (error in 970405, reported
14429	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14430	+ reviewed/added messages to configure script, so that all non-test
14431	  options should be accompanied by a message.
14432	+ add configure check for long filenames, using this to determine if
14433	  it is safe to allow long aliases for terminal descriptions as does
14434	  SVr4.
14435	+ add configure options for widec (wide character), hashmap (both
14436	  experimental).
14437	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
14438	+ hashmap.c - improved by heuristic, so that scroll test works much
14439	  better when csr is not available.
14440	+ hardscroll.c - patched so that it continues to scroll other chunks
14441	  after failure to scroll one.
14442	+ lib_doupdate.c - _nc_mvcur_scrolln extended to handle more cases; csr
14443	  is avoided as it is relative costly.  Fixed wrong coordinates in one
14444	  case and wrong string in TRACE.
14445	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
14446	+ modify C++ binding to compile on AIX 4.x with the IBM C-SET++
14447	  compiler.
14448
14449970712
14450	+ remove alternate character set from kterm terminfo entry; it uses the
14451	  shift-out control for a purpose incompatible with curses, i.e., font
14452	  switching.
14453	+ disentangle 'xterm' terminfo entry from some derived entries that
14454	  should be based on xterm-r6 instead.
14455	+ add cbt to xterm-xf86-xv32 terminfo entry; I added the emulation for
14456	  XFree86 3.1.2F, but overlooked its use in terminfo then - T.Dickey.
14457	+ correct logic in lib_mvcur.c that uses back_tab.
14458
14459970706
14460	+ correct change from 970628 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
14461	  contents of curscr are saved in newscr before clearing the screen.
14462	  This is needed to make repainting work with the present logic of
14463	  TransformLine().
14464	+ use napms() rather than sleep() in tset.c to avoid interrupting I/O.
14465
14466970705
14467	+ add limit checks to _nc_read_file_entry() to guard against overflow
14468	  of buffer when reading incompatible terminfo format, e.g, from OSF/1.
14469	+ correct some loop-variable errors in xmc support in lib_doupdate.c
14470	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to add gaps, specified by user, to allow
14471	  investigation of interaction with xmc (magic cookie) code.
14472	+ correct typo in 970524 mods to xmas.c, had omitted empty parameter
14473	  list from has_colors(), which gcc ignores, but SVr4 does not
14474	  (reported by Larry Virden).
14475	+ correct rmso capability in wy50-mc description.
14476	+ add configure option "--enable-hard-tabs", renamed TABS_OK ifdef to
14477	  USE_HARD_TABS.
14478	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
14479	+ Add bindings for keyok() and define_key() to the Ada95 packages.
14480	+ Improve man pages menu_post.3x and menu_format.3x
14481	+ Fix the HTML pages in the Ada95/html directory to reflect the above
14482	  changes.
14483
14484970628
14485	+ modify change from 970101 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
14486	  pending changes to both curscr and newscr are flushed properly.
14487	  This fixes a case where the first scrolling operation in nvi would
14488	  cause the screen to be cleared unnecessarily and repainted before
14489	  doing the indexing, i.e., by repeatedly pressing 'j' (reported by
14490	  Juergen Pfeifer).
14491	+ correct error in trans_string() which added embedded newlines in a
14492	  terminfo description to the stored strings.
14493	+ remove spurious newlines from sgr in wyse50 (and several other)
14494	  terminfo descriptions.
14495	+ add configure option for experimental xmc (magic cookie) code,
14496	  "--enable-xmc-glitch".  When disabled (the default), attributes that
14497	  would store a magic cookie are suppressed in vidputs().  The magic
14498	  cookie code is far from workable at this stage; the configuration
14499	  option is a stopgap.
14500	+ move _nc_initscr() from lib_initscr.c to lib_newterm.c
14501	+ correct path for invoking make_keys (a missing "./").
14502
14503970621
14504	+ correct sign-extension problem with "infocmp -e", which corrupted
14505	  acsc values computed for linux fallback data.
14506	+ correct dependency on ncurses/names.c (a missing "./").
14507	+ modify configure script to use '&&' even for cd'ing to existing
14508	  directories to work around broken shell interpreters.
14509	+ correct a loop-limit in _nc_hash_map() (patch by Alexander V.
14510	  Lukyanov).
14511
14512970615
14513	+ restore logic in _nc_scroll_optimize() which marks as touched the
14514	  lines in curscr that are shifted.
14515	+ add new utility 'make_keys' to compute keys.tries as a table rather
14516	  than a series of function calls.
14517	+ correct include-dependency for tic.h used by name_match
14518	+ removed buffer-allocation for name and description from m_item_new.c,
14519	  since this might result in incompatibilities with SVr4.  Also fixed
14520	  the corresponding Ada95 binding module (patch by Juergen Pfeifer,
14521	  report by Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@foxnet.net>)
14522	+ removed the mechanism to timestamp the generated Ada95 sources.  This
14523	  resulted always in generating patches for the HTML doc, even when
14524	  nothing really changed (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
14525	+ improve man page mitem_new.3x (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
14526
14527970614
14528	+ remove ech capability from rxvt description because it does not work.
14529	+ add missing case logic for infocmp -I option (reported by Lorenzo M.
14530	  Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>)
14531	+ correct old bug in pnoutrefresh() unmasked by fix in 970531; this
14532	  caused glitches in the ncurses 'p' test since the area outside the
14533	  pad was not compared when setting up indices for _nc_scroll_optimize.
14534	+ rewrote tracebits() to workaround misdefinition of TOSTOP on Ultrix
14535	  4.4, as well as to eliminate fixed-size buffer (reported by Chris
14536	  Tanner <tannerc@aecl.ca>)
14537	+ correct prototype for termattrs() as per XPG4 version 2.
14538	+ add placeholder prototypes for color_set(), erasewchar(),
14539	  term_attrs(), wcolor_set() as per XPG4 version 2.
14540	+ correct attribution for progs/progs.priv.h and lib_twait.c
14541	+ improve line-breakout logic by checking based on changed lines rather
14542	  than total lines (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14543	+ correct loop limits for table-lookup of enumerated value in form
14544	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
14545	+ improve threshold computation for determining when to call ClrToEOL
14546	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14547
14548970531
14549	+ add configure option --disable-database to force the library to
14550	  use only the fallback data.
14551	+ add configure option --with-fallbacks, to specify list of fallback
14552	  terminal descriptions.
14553	+ add a symbolic link for ncurses.h during install; too many programs
14554	  still assume there's an ncurses.h
14555	+ add new terminfo.src entry for xterm-xf86-v33.
14556	+ restore terminfo.src entry for emu to using setf/setb, since it is
14557	  not, after all, generating ANSI sequences.  Corrected missing comma
14558	  that caused setf/setb entries to merge.
14559	+ modify mousemask() to use keyok() to enable/disable KEY_MOUSE, so
14560	  that applications can disable ncurses' mouse and supply their own
14561	  handler.
14562	+ add extensions keyok() and define_key().  These are designed to allow
14563	  the user's application better control over the use of function keys,
14564	  e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE.  (The define_key idea was from
14565	  a mailing-list thread started by Kenneth Albanowski
14566	  <kjahds@kjahds.com> Nov'1995).
14567	+ restore original behavior in ncurses 'g' test, i.e., explicitly
14568	  set the keypad mode rather than use the default, since it confuses
14569	  people.
14570	+ rewrote the newdemo banner so it's readable (reported by Hugh
14571	  Daniel).
14572	+ tidy up exit from hashtest (reported by Hugh Daniel).
14573	+ restore check for ^Q in ncurses 'g' test broken in 970510 (reported
14574	  by Hugh Daniel)
14575	+ correct tput program, checking return-value of setupterm (patch by
14576	  Florian La Roche).
14577	+ correct logic in pnoutrefresh() and pechochar() functions (reported
14578	  by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf.usc.edu>).  The computation
14579	  of 'wide' date to eric's #283 (1.9.9), and the pechochar bug to the
14580	  original implementation (1.9.6).
14581	+ correct typo in vt102-w terminfo.src entry (patch by Robert Wuest
14582	  <rwuest@sire.vt.com>)
14583	+ move calls of _nc_background() out of various loops, as its return
14584	  value will be the same for the whole window being operated on (patch
14585	  by J T Conklin).
14586	+ add macros getcur[xy] getbeg[xy] getpar[xy], which are defined in
14587	  SVr4 headers (patch by J T Conklin <jtc@NetBSD.ORG>)
14588	+ modify glibc addon-configure scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
14589	+ correct a bug in hashmap.c: the size used for clearing the hashmap
14590	  table was incorrect, causing stack corruption for large values of
14591	  LINES, e.g., >MAXLINES/2 (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14592	+ eric's terminfo 9.13.23 & 9.13.24 changes: replaced minitel-2 entry,
14593	  added MGR, ansi-nt (note: the changes described for 9.13.24 have not
14594	  been applied).
14595	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
14596	+ correct a missing error-return in form_driver.c when wrapping of a
14597	  field is not possible.
14598	+ correct logic in form_driver.c for configurations that do not have
14599	  memccpy() (reported by Sidik Isani <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
14600	+ change several c++ binding functions to inline.
14601	+ modify c++ menu binding to inherit from panels, for proper
14602	  initialization.
14603	+ correct freeing of menu items in c++ binding.
14604	+ modify c++ binding to reflect removal of const from user data pointer
14605	  in forms/menus libraries.
14606
14607970524
14608	+ add description of xterm-16color.
14609	+ modify name of shared-library on *BSD to end with $(REL_VERSION)
14610	  rather than $(ABI_VERSION) to match actual convention on FreeBSD
14611	  (cf: 960713).
14612	+ add OpenBSD to shared-library case, same as NetBSD and FreeBSD
14613	  (reported by Hugh Daniel <hugh@rat.toad.com>).
14614	+ corrected include-dependency in menu/Makefile so that "make install"
14615	  works properly w/o first doing "make".
14616	+ add fallback definition for isascii, used in infocmp.
14617	+ modify xmas to use color, and to exit right away when a key is
14618	  pressed.
14619	+ modify gdc so that the scrolled digits function as described (there
14620	  was no time delay between the stages, and the digits overwrote the
14621	  bounding box without tidying up).
14622	+ modify lib_color.c to use setaf/setab only for the ANSI color codes
14623	  0 through 7.  Using 16 colors requires setf/setb.
14624	+ modify ncurses 'c' test to work with 16 colors, as well as the normal
14625	  8 colors.
14626	+ remove const qualifier from user data pointer in forms and menus
14627	  libraries (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
14628	+ rewrote 'waddchnstr()' to avoid using the _nc_waddch_nosync()
14629	  function, thereby not interpreting tabs, etc., as per spec (patch by
14630	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14631
14632970517
14633	+ suppress check for pre-existing ncurses header if the --prefix
14634	  option is specified.
14635	+ add configure options "--with-system-type" and
14636	  "--with-system-release" to assist in checking the generated
14637	  makefiles.
14638	+ add configure option "--enable-rpath" to allow installers to specify
14639	  that programs linked against shared libraries will have their library
14640	  path embedded, allowing installs into nonstandard locations.
14641	+ add flags to OSF1 shared-library options to specify version and
14642	  symbol file (patch by Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>)
14643	+ add missing definition for ABI_VERSION to c++/Makefile.in (reported
14644	  by Satoshi Adachi <adachi@wisdom.aa.ap.titech.ac.jp>).
14645	+ modify link flags to accommodate HP-UX linker which embeds absolute
14646	  pathnames in executables linked against shared libraries (reported by
14647	  Jason Evans <jasone@mrc.uidaho.edu>, solved by Alan Shutko
14648	  <ats@hubert.wustl.edu>).
14649	+ drop unnecessary check for attribute-change in onscreen_mvcur() since
14650	  mvcur() is the only caller within the library, and that check in turn
14651	  is exercised only from lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
14652	  Lukyanov).
14653	+ add 'blank' parameter to _nc_scroll_window() so _nc_mvcur_scrolln()
14654	  can use the background of stdscr as a parameter to that function
14655	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14656	+ moved _nc_mvcur_scrolln() from lib_mvcur.c to lib_doupdate.c, to use
14657	  the latter's internal functions, as well as to eliminate unnecessary
14658	  cursor save/restore operations (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14659	+ omit parameter of ClrUpdate(), since it is called only for newscr,
14660	  further optimized/reduced by using ClearScreen() and TransformLine()
14661	  to get rid of duplicate code (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14662	+ modify scrolling algorithm in _nc_scroll_optimize() to reject hunks
14663	  that are smaller than the distance to be moved (patch by Alexander V.
14664	  Lukyanov).
14665	+ correct a place where the panel library was not ifdef'd in ncurses.c
14666	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
14667	+ documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer)
14668
14669970515	4.1 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
14670	+ re-tag changes since 970505 as 4.1 release.
14671
14672970510
14673	+ modify ncurses 'g' test to allow mouse input
14674	+ modify default xterm description to include mouse.
14675	+ modify configure script to add -Wwrite-strings if gcc warnings are
14676	  enabled while configuring --enable-const (and fixed related
14677	  warnings).
14678	+ add toggle, status display for keypad mode to ncurses 'g' test to
14679	  verify that keypad and scrollok are not inherited from parent window
14680	  during a call to newwin.
14681	+ correction to MKexpanded.sh to make it work when configure --srcdir
14682	  is used (reported by H.J.Lu).
14683	+ revise test for bool-type, ensuring that it checks if builtin.h is
14684	  available before including it, adding test for sizeof(bool) equal
14685	  to sizeof(short), and warning user if the size cannot be determined
14686	  (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14687	+ add files to support configuration of ncurses as an add-on library
14688	  for GNU libc (patch by H.J.Lu <hjl@lucon.org>)
14689
14690970506
14691	+ correct buffer overrun in lib_traceatr.c
14692	+ modify change to lib_vidattr.c to avoid redundant orig_pair.
14693	+ turn on 'echo()' in hanoi.c, since it is initially off.
14694	+ rename local 'errno' variable in etip.h to avoid conflict with global
14695	  (H.J.Lu).
14696	+ modify configure script to cache LD, AR, AR_OPTS (patch by H.J.Lu
14697	  <hjl@lucon.org>)
14698
14699970505	4.1 pre-release
14700	+ regenerate the misc directory html dumps without the link list, which
14701	  is not useful.
14702	+ correct dependency in form directory makefile which caused
14703	  unnecessary recompiles.
14704	+ correct substitution for ABI_VERSION in test-makefile
14705	+ modify install rules for shared-library targets to remove the target
14706	  before installing, since some install programs do not properly handle
14707	  overwrite of symbolic links.
14708	+ change order of top-level targets so that 'include' immediate
14709	  precedes the 'ncurses' directory, reducing the time between new
14710	  headers and new libraries (requested by Larry Virden).
14711	+ modify lib_vidattr.c so that colors are turned off only before
14712	  modifying other attributes, turned on after others.  This makes the
14713	  hanoi.c program display correctly on FreeBSD console.
14714	+ modify debug code in panel library to print user-data addresses
14715	  rather than the strings which they (may) point to.
14716	+ add check to ensure that C++ binding and demo are not built with g++
14717	  versions below 2.7, since the binding uses templates.
14718	+ modify c++ binding and demo to build and run with SGI's c++ compiler.
14719	  (It also compiles with the Sun SparcWorks compiler, but the demo does
14720	  not link, due to a vtbl problem).
14721	+ corrections to demo.cc, to fix out-of-scope variables (Juergen
14722	  Pfeifer).
14723
14724970503
14725	+ correct memory leak in _nc_trace_buf().
14726	+ add configure test for regexpr.h, for Unixware 1.x.
14727	+ correct missing "./" prefixing names of generated files in ncurses
14728	  directory.
14729	+ use single-quotes in configure scripts assignments for MK_SHARED_LIB
14730	  to workaround shell bug on FreeBSD 2.1.5
14731	+ remove tabs from intermediate #define's for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF
14732	  that caused incorrect result in ncurses_cfg.h
14733	+ correct initialization in lib_trace.c, which omitted version info.
14734	+ remove ech, el1 attributes from cons25w description; they appear to
14735	  malfunction in FreeBSD 2.1.5
14736	+ correct color attributes in terminfo.src and lib_color.c to match
14737	  SVr4 behavior by interchanging codes 1,4, 3,6 in the setf/setb
14738	  capabilities.
14739	+ use curs_set() rather than checks via tigetstr() for test programs
14740	  that hide the cursor: firework, rain, worm.
14741	+ ensure that if the terminal lacks change_scroll_region, parm_index
14742	  and parm_rindex are used only to scroll the whole screen (patch by
14743	  Peter Wemm).
14744	+ correct curs_set() logic, which did not return ERR if the requested
14745	  attributes did not exist, nor did it assume an unknown initial state
14746	  for the cursor (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14747	+ combine IDcTransformLine and NoIDcTransformLine to new TransformLine
14748	  function in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14749	+ correct hashmap.c, which did not update index information (patch by
14750	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14751	+ fixes for C++ binding and demo (see c++/NEWS) (Juergen Pfeifer).
14752	+ correct index in lib_instr.c (Juergen Pfeifer).
14753	+ correct typo in 970426 patch from Tom's cleanup of lib_overlay.c
14754	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
14755
14756970426
14757	+ corrected cost computation in PutRange(), which was using
14758	  milliseconds compared to characters by adding two new members to the
14759	  SCREEN struct, _hpa_ch_cost and _cup_ch_cost.
14760	+ drop ncurses/lib_unctrl.c, add ncurses/MKunctrl.awk to generate a
14761	  const array of strings (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).  The
14762	  original suggestion in 970118 used a perl script.
14763	+ rewrote ncurses 'b' test to better exercise magic-cookie (xmc), as
14764	  well as noting the attributes that are not supported by a terminal.
14765	+ trace the computation of cost values in lib_mvcur.c
14766	+ modify _nc_visbuf() to use octal rather than hex, corrected sign
14767	  extension bug in that function that caused buffer overflow.
14768	+ modify trace in lib_acs.c to use _nc_visbuf().
14769	+ suppress trace within _traceattr2().
14770	+ correct logic of _tracechtype2(), which did not account for repeats
14771	  or redefinition within an acsc string.
14772	+ modify debug-library version baudrate() to use environment variable
14773	  $BAUDRATE to override speed computation.  This is needed for
14774	  regression testing.
14775	+ correct problems shown by "weblint -pedantic".
14776	+ update mailing-list information (now ncurses@bsdi.com).
14777
14778970419
14779	+ Improve form_field_validation.3x manpage to better describe the
14780	  precision parameter for TYPE_NUMERIC and TYPE_INTEGER.  Provide more
14781	  precise information how the range checking can be avoided.  (patch by
14782	  Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan Henderson)
14783	+ change type of min/max value of form types TYPE_INTEGER to long to
14784	  match SVr4 documentation.
14785	+ set the form window to stdscr in set_form_win() so that form_win()
14786	  won't return null (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan
14787	  Henderson <bryanh@giraffe.netgate.net>).
14788
14789970412
14790	+ corrected ifdef'ing of inline (cf: 970321) for TRACE vs C++.
14791	+ corrected toggle_attr_off() macro (patch by Andries Brouwer).
14792	+ modify treatment of empty token in $MANPATH to /usr/man (reported by
14793	  <Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>)
14794	+ modify traces that record functions-called so that chtype and attr_t
14795	  values are expressed symbolically, to simplify reuse of generated
14796	  test-scripts on SVr4 regression testing.
14797	+ add new trace functions _traceattr2() and _tracechtype2()
14798
14799970405
14800	+ add configure option --enable-const, to support the use of 'const'
14801	  where XSI should have, but did not, specify.  This defines
14802	  NCURSES_CONST, which is an empty token otherwise, for strict
14803	  compatibility.
14804	+ make processing of configure options more verbose by echoing the
14805	  --enable/--with values.
14806	+ add configure option --enable-big-core
14807	+ set initial state of software echo off as per XSI.
14808	+ check for C++ builtin.h header
14809	+ correct computation of absolute-path for $INSTALL that dropped "-c"
14810	  parameter from the expression.
14811	+ rename config.h to ncurses_cfg.h to avoid naming-conflict when
14812	  ncurses is integrated into larger systems (adapted from diffs by
14813	  H.J.Lu for libc).
14814	+ correct inequality in lib_doupdate.c that caused a single-char to not
14815	  be updated when the char on the right-margin was not blank, idcok()
14816	  was true (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov (in 970124), reported
14817	  by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu> in 970329).
14818	+ modify 'clean' rule in include/Makefile so that files created by
14819	  configure script are removed in 'distclean' rule instead.
14820
14821970328
14822	+ correct array limit in tparam_internal(), add case to interpret "%x"
14823	  (patch by Andreas Schwab)
14824	+ rewrote number-parsing in ncurses.c 'd' test; it did not reset the
14825	  value properly when non-numeric characters were given (reported by
14826	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
14827
14828970321
14829	+ move definition of __INTERNAL_CAPS_VISIBLE before include for
14830	  progs.priv.h (patch by David MacKenzie).
14831	+ add configuration summary, reordered check for default include
14832	  directory to better accommodate a case where installer is configuring
14833	  a second copy of ncurses (reported by Klaus Weide
14834	  <kweide@tezcat.com>)
14835	+ moved the #define for 'inline' as an empty token from the
14836	  $(CFLAGS_DEBUG) symbol into config.h, to avoid redefinition warning
14837	  (reported by Ward Horner).
14838	+ modify test for bool builtin type to use 'unsigned' rather than
14839	  'unknown' when cross-compiling (reported by Ward Horner).
14840
14841970315
14842	+ add header dependencies so that "make install.libs" will succeed
14843	  even if "make all" is not done first.
14844	+ moved some macros from lib_doupdate.c to curses.priv.h to use in
14845	  expanded functions with ATAC.
14846	+ correct implementation of lib_instr.c; both XSI and SVr4 agree that
14847	  the winnstr functions can return more characters than will fit on one
14848	  line.
14849
14850970308
14851	+ modify script that generates lib_gen.c to support traces of called &
14852	  return.
14853	+ add new configure option "--disable-macros", for testing calls within
14854	  lib_gen.c
14855	+ corrected logic that screens level-checking of called/return traces.
14856
14857970301
14858	+ use new configure macro NC_SUBST to replace AC_PATH_PROG, better
14859	  addressing request by Ward Horner.
14860	+ check for cross-compiling before trying to invoke the autoconf
14861	  AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED macro (reported by Ward Horner)
14862	+ correct/simplify loop in _nc_visbuf(), 970201 changes omitted
14863	  a pointer-increment.
14864	+ eliminate obsolete symbol SHARED_ABI from dist.mk (noted by
14865	  Florian La Roche).
14866
14867970215
14868	+ add configure option --enable-expanded, together with code that
14869	  implements an expanded form of certain complex macros, for testing
14870	  with ATAC.
14871	+ disable CHECK_POSITION unless --with-assertions is configured
14872	  (Alexander V Lukyanov pointed out that this is redundant).
14873	+ use keyname() to show traced chtype values where applicable rather
14874	  than _tracechar(), which truncates the value to 8-bits.
14875	+ minor fixes to TRACE_ICALLS, added T_CREATE, TRACE_CCALLS macros.
14876	+ modify makefiles in progs and test directories to avoid using C
14877	  preprocessor options on link commands (reported by Ward Horner)
14878	+ correct ifdef/include-order for nc_alloc.h vs lib_freeall.c (reported
14879	  by Ward Horner)
14880	+ modify ifdef's to use configure-defined symbols consistently
14881	  (reported by Ward Horner)
14882	+ add/use new makefile symbols AR, AR_OPTS and LD to assist in non-UNIX
14883	  ports (reported by Ward Horner <whorner@tsi-telsys.com>)
14884	+ rename struct try to struct tries, to avoid name conflict with C++
14885	  (reported by Gary Johnson).
14886	+ modify worm.c to hide cursor while running.
14887	+ add -Wcast-qual to gcc warnings, fix accordingly.
14888	+ use PutChar rather than PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to properly handle
14889	  wrapping (Alexander V Lukyanov).
14890	+ correct spurious echoing of input in hanoi.c from eric's #291 & #292
14891	  patches (reported by Vernon C. Hoxie <vern@zebra.alphacdc.com>).
14892	+ extend IRIX configuration to IRIX64
14893	+ supply missing install.libs rule needed after restructuring
14894	  test/Makefile.in
14895
14896970208
14897	+ modify "make mostlyclean" to leave automatically-generated source
14898	  in the ncurses directory, for use in cross-compiles.
14899	+ autogenerated object-dependencies for test directory
14900	+ add configure option --with-rcs-ids
14901	+ modify configuration scripts to generate major/minor/patch versions
14902	  (suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
14903	+ supply missing va_end's in lib_scanw.c
14904	+ use stream I/O for trace-output, to eliminate fixed-size buffer
14905	+ add TRACE_ICALLS definition/support to lib_trace.c
14906	+ modify Ada95 binding to work with GNAT 3.09 (Juergen Pfeifer).
14907
14908970201
14909	+ add/modify traces for called/return values to simplify extraction
14910	  for test scripts.
14911	+ changed _nc_visbuf to quote its result, and to dynamically allocate
14912	  the returned buffer.
14913	+ invoke ldconfig after installing shared library
14914	+ modify install so that overwrite applies to shared library -lcurses
14915	  in preference to static library (reported by Zeyd M Ben-Halim 960928).
14916	+ correct missing ';' in 961221 mod to overwrite optional use of $(LN_S)
14917	  symbol.
14918	+ fixes to allow "make install" to work without first doing a "make
14919	  all" (suggested by Larry Virden).
14920
14921970125
14922	+ correct order of #ifdef for TABS_OK.
14923	+ instrumented toe.c to test memory-leaks.
14924	+ correct memory-deallocation in toe.c (patch by Jesse Thilo).
14925	+ include <sys/types.h> in configuration test for regex.h (patch by
14926	  Andreas Schwab)
14927	+ make infocmp recognize -I option, for SVr4 compatibility (reported by
14928	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
14929
14930970118
14931	+ add extension 'use_default_colors()', modified test applications that
14932	  use default background (firework, gdc, hanoi, knight, worm) to
14933	  demonstrate.
14934	+ correct some limit checks in lib_doupdate.c exposed while running
14935	  worm.
14936	+ use typeCalloc macro for readability.
14937	+ add/use definition for CONST to accommodate testing with Solaris
14938	  (SVr4) curses, which doesn't use 'const' in its prototypes.
14939	+ modify ifdef's in test/hashtest.c and test/view.c to compile with
14940	  Solaris curses.
14941	+ modify _tracedump() to pad colors & attrs lines to match change
14942	  in 970101 showing first/last changes.
14943	+ corrected location of terminating null on dynamically allocated forms
14944	  fields (patch by Per Foreby).
14945
14946970111
14947	+ added headers to make view.c compile on SCO with the resizeterm()
14948	  code (i.e., struct winsize) - though this compiles, I don't have a
14949	  suitable test configuration since SIGWINCH doesn't pass my network to
14950	  that machine - T.Dickey.
14951	+ update test/configure.in to supply some default substitutions.
14952	+ modify configure script to add -lncurses after -lgpm to fix problem
14953	  linking against static libraries.
14954	+ add a missing noraw() to test/ncurses.c (places noted by Jeremy
14955	  Buhler)
14956	+ add a missing wclear() to test/testcurs.c (patch by Jeremy Buhler
14957	  <jbuhler@cs.washington.edu>)
14958	+ modify headers to accommodate compilers that don't allow duplicate
14959	  "#define" lines for NCURSES_VERSION (reported by Larry W. Virden
14960	  <lvirden@cas.org>)
14961	+ fix formatting glitch in curs_getch.3x (patch by Jesse Thilo).
14962	+ modify lib_doupdate to make el, el1 and ed optimization use the
14963	  can_clear_with macro, and change EmitRange to allow leaving cursor at
14964	  the middle of interval, rather than always at the end (patch by
14965	  Alexander V Lukyanov).  This was originally 960929, resync 970106.
14966
14967970104
14968	+ workaround defect in autoconf 2.12 (which terminates configuration
14969	  if no C++ compiler is found) by adding an option --without-cxx.
14970	+ modify several man pages to use tbl, where .nf/.fi was used (reported
14971	  by Jesse Thilo).
14972	+ correct font codes in some man pages (patch by Jesse Thilo
14973	  <Jesse.Thilo@pobox.com>)
14974	+ use configure script's knowledge of existence of g++ library for the
14975	  c++ Makefile (reported by Paul Jackson).
14976	+ correct misleading description of --datadir configuration option
14977	  (reported by Paul Jackson <pj@sam.engr.sgi.com>)
14978
14979970101
14980	+ several corrections to _nc_mvcur_scrolln(), prompted by a bug report
14981	  from Peter Wemm:
14982	> the logic for non_dest_scroll_region was interchanged between the
14983	  forward & reverse scrolling cases.
14984	> multiple returns from the function allowed certain conditions to do
14985	  part of an operation before discovering that it couldn't be
14986	  completed, returning an error without restoring the cursor.
14987	> some returns were ERR, where the function had completed the
14988	  operation, because the insert/delete line logic was improperly
14989	  tested (this was probably the case Peter saw).
14990	> contrary to comments, some scrolling cases were tested after the
14991	  insert/delete line method.
14992	+ modify _tracedump() to show first/last changes.
14993	+ modify param of ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c to 'newscr', fixes
14994	  refresh problem (reported by Peter Wemm) that caused nvi to not show
14995	  result of ":r !ls" until a ^L was typed.
14996
14997961229	(internal alpha)
14998	+ correct some of the writable-strings warnings (reported by Gary
14999	  Johnson <gjohnson@season.com>).  Note that most of the remaining ones
15000	  are part of the XSI specification, and can't be "fixed".
15001	+ improve include-dependencies in form, menu, panel directories.
15002	+ correct logic of delay_output(), which would return early if
15003	  there is data on stdin.
15004	+ modify interface & logic of _nc_timed_wait() to support 2 file
15005	  descriptors, needed for GPM.
15006	+ integrate patch by Andrew Kuchling <amk@magnet.com> for GPM (mouse)
15007	  support, correcting logic in wgetch() and _nc_mouse_parse() which
15008	  prevented patch from working properly -TD
15009	+ improve performance of panel algorithm (Juergen Pfeifer 961203).
15010	+ strip RCS id's from generated .html files in Ada95 subtree.
15011	+ resync with generated .html files (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
15012	+ terminfo.src 10.1.0 (ESR).
15013
15014961224	4.0 release
15015	+ release as 4.0 to accommodate Linux ld.so.1.8.5
15016	+ correct syntax/spelling, regenerated .doc files from .html using
15017	  lynx 2.5
15018	+ refined forms/menus makefiles (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
15019
15020961221	- snapshot
15021	+ remove logic in read_entry.c that attempts to refine errno by using
15022	  'access()' for the directory (from patch by Florian La Roche).
15023	+ correct configure test/substitution that inhibits generating
15024	  include-path to /usr/include if gcc is used (reported by Florian La
15025	  Roche).
15026	+ modify setupterm() to allocate new TERMINAL for each call, just as
15027	  solaris' curses does (Alexander V Lukyanov 960829).
15028	+ corrected memory leaks in read_entry.c
15029	+ add configure options --with-dbmalloc, --with-dmalloc, and
15030	  --disable-leaks, tested by instrumenting infocmp, ncurses programs.
15031	+ move #include's for stdlib.h and string.h to *.priv.h to accommodate
15032	  use of dbmalloc.
15033	+ modify use of $(LN_S) to follow recommendation in autoconf 2.12,
15034	  i.e., set current directory before linking.
15035	+ split-out panel.priv.h, improve dependencies for forms, menus
15036	  (Juergen Pfeifer 961204).
15037	+ modify _nc_freewin() to reset globals curscr/newscr/stdscr when
15038	  freeing the corresponding WINDOW (found using Purify).
15039	+ modify delwin() to return ERR if the window to be deleted has
15040	  subwindows, needed as a side-effect of resizeterm() (found using
15041	  Purify).  Tested and found that SVr4 curses behaves this way.
15042	+ implement logic for _nc_freeall(), bringing stub up to date.
15043
15044961215
15045	+ modify wbkgd() so that it doesn't set nulls in the rendered text,
15046	  even if its argument doesn't specify a character (fixes test case by
15047	  Juergen Pfeifer for bug-report).
15048	+ set window-attributes in wbkgd(), to simplify comparison against
15049	  Solaris curses, which does this.
15050
15051961214	- snapshot
15052	+ replace most constants in ncurses 'o' test by expressions, making it
15053	  work with wider range of screen sizes.
15054	+ add options to ncurses.c to specify 'e' test softkey format, and the
15055	  number of header/footer lines to rip-off.
15056	+ add ^R (repaint after resize), ^L (refresh) commands to ncurses 'p'
15057	  test.
15058	+ add shell-out (!) command to ncurses 'p' test to allow test of
15059	  resize between endwin/refresh.
15060	+ correct line-wrap case in mvcur() by emitting carriage return,
15061	  overlooked in 960928, but needed due to SVr4 compatibility changes to
15062	  terminal modes in 960907.
15063	+ correct logic in wresize that causes new lines to be allocated,
15064	  broken for the special case of increasing rows only in 960907's fix
15065	  for subwindows.
15066	+ modify configure script to generate $(LDFLAGS) with -L and -l options
15067	  in preference to explicit library filenames.  (NOTE: this may
15068	  require further amending, since I vaguely recall a dynamic loader
15069	  that did not work properly without the full names, but it should be
15070	  handled as an exception to the rule, since some linkers do bulk
15071	  inclusion of libraries when given the full name - T.Dickey).
15072	+ modify configure script to allow user-supplied $CFLAGS to set the
15073	  debug-option in all libraries (requested by lots of people) -TD
15074	+ use return consistently from main(), rather than exit (reported by
15075	  Florian La Roche).
15076	+ add --enable-getcap-cache option to configure, normally disabled
15077	  (requested by Florian La Roche).
15078	+ make configure test for gettimeofday() and possibly -lbsd more
15079	  efficient (requested by Florian La Roche <florian@knorke.saar.de>)
15080	+ minor adjustments to Ada95 binding (patches by Juergen Pfeifer)
15081	+ correct attributes after emitting orig_pair in lib_vidattr.c (patch
15082	  by Alexander V Lukyanov).
15083
15084961208
15085	+ corrected README wrt Ada95 (Juergen Pfeifer)
15086
15087961207	- snapshot
15088	+ integrate resizeterm() into doupdate(), so that if screen size
15089	  changes between endwin/refresh, ncurses will resize windows to fit
15090	  (this needs additional testing with pads and softkeys).
15091	+ add, for memory-leak testing, _nc_freeall() entrypoint to free all
15092	  data used in ncurses library.
15093	+ initialize _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok statically to resolve discrepancy
15094	  between initscr() and newwin() initialization (reported by
15095	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
15096	+ test built VERSION=4.0, SHARED_ABI=4 with Linux ld.so.1.8.5
15097	  (set beta versions to those values -- NOTE that subsequent pre-4.0
15098	  beta may not be interchangeable).
15099	+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.12
15100
15101961130	1.9.9g release
15102	+ add copyright notices to configuration scripts (written by Thomas
15103	  Dickey).
15104
15105961127
15106	> patch, mostly for panel (Juergen Pfeifer):
15107	+ cosmetic improvement for a few routines in the ncurses core library
15108	  to avoid warning messages.
15109	+ the panel overlap detection was broken
15110	+ the panel_window() function was not fool-proof.
15111	+ Some inlining...
15112	+ Cosmetic changes (also to avoid warning messages when compiling with
15113	  -DTRACE).
15114
15115961126
15116	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
15117	+ eliminates warning messages for the compile of libform.
15118	+ inserts Per Foreby's new field type TYPE_IPV4 into libform.
15119	+ Updates man page and the Ada95 binding to reflect this.
15120	+ Improves inlining in libmenu and libform.
15121
15122961120
15123	+ improve the use of the "const" qualifier in the
15124	  panel library (Juergen Pfeifer)
15125	+ change set_panel_userptr() and panel_userptr() to use void*
15126	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
15127
15128961119
15129	+ change ABI to 3.4
15130	+ package with 961119 version of Ada95 binding (fixes for gnat-3.07).
15131	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
15132	+ correct initialization of the stdscr pseudo panel in panel library
15133	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
15134	+ use MODULE_ID (rcs keywords) in forms and menus libraries (Juergen
15135	  Pfeifer).
15136	> patch #324 (ESR):
15137	+ typo in curs_termcap man page (reported by Hendrik Reichel
15138	  <106065.2344@compuserve.com>)
15139	+ change default xterm entry to xterm-r6.
15140	+ add entry for color_xterm
15141
15142961116	- snapshot
15143	+ lint found several functions that had only #define implementations
15144	  (e.g., attr_off), modified curses.h.in to generate them as per XSI
15145	  Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
15146	+ add check in infocmp.c to guard against string compare of
15147	  CANCELLED_STRING values.
15148	+ modify firework.c, rain.c to hide cursor while running.
15149	+ correct missing va_end in lib_tparm.c
15150	+ modify hanoi.c to work on non-color terminals, and to use timing
15151	  delays when in autoplay mode.
15152	+ correct 'echochar()' to refresh immediately (reported by Adrian
15153	  Garside <94ajg2@eng.cam.ac.uk>)
15154	> patch #322 (ESR):
15155	+ reorganize terminfo.src entries for xterm.
15156
15157961109	- snapshot
15158	+ corrected error in line-breakout logic (lib_doupdate.c)
15159	+ modified newdemo to use wgetch(win) rather than getch() to eliminate
15160	  a spurious clear-screen.
15161	+ corrected ifdef's for 'poll()' configuration.
15162	+ added modules to ncurses, form, menu for Ada95 binding (Juergen
15163	  Pfeifer).
15164	+ modify set_field_buffer() to allow assignment of string longer than
15165	  the initial buffer length, and to return the complete string rather
15166	  than only the initial size (Juergen Pfeifer and Per Foreby
15167	  <perf@efd.lth.se>).
15168
15169961102	- snapshot
15170	+ configure for 'poll()' in preference to 'select()', since older
15171	  systems are more likely to have a broken 'select()'.
15172	+ modified render_char() to avoid OR'ing colors.
15173	+ minor fixes to testcurs.c, newdemo.c test programs: ifdef'd out the
15174	  resize test, use wbkgd and corrected box() parameters.
15175	+ make flushinp() test work in ncurses.c by using napms() instead of
15176	  sleep().
15177	+ undo ESR's changes to xterm-x11r6 (it no longer matched the X11R6.1
15178	  distribution, as stated)
15179	+ terminfo 9.13.18 resync (ESR)
15180	+ check for getenv("HOME") returning null (ESR).
15181	+ change buffer used to decode xterm-mouse commands to unsigned to
15182	  handle displays wider than 128 chars (Juergen Pfeifer).

15184	+ correct limit-checking in wenclose() (Juergen Pfeifer).
15185	+ correction to Peter Wemm's newwin change (Thomas Fehr
15186	  <fehr@suse.de>).
15187	+ corrections to logic that combines colors and attributes; they must
15188	  not be OR'd (Juergen Pfeifer, extending from report/patch by Rick
15189	  Marshall).
15190
15191961026	- snapshot
15192	+ reset flags in 'getwin()' that might cause refresh to attempt to
15193	  manipulate the non-existent parent of a window that is read from a
15194	  file (lib_screen.c).
15195	+ restructure _nc_timed_wait() to log more information, and to try to
15196	  recover from badly-behaved 'select()' calls (still testing this).
15197	+ move define for GOOD_SELECT into configure script.
15198	+ corrected extra '\' character inserted before ',' in comp_scan.c
15199	+ corrected expansion of %-format characters in dump_entry.c; some were
15200	  rendered as octal constants.
15201	+ modify dump_entry.c to make terminfo output more readable and like
15202	  SVr4, by using "\s" for spaces (leading/trailing only), "\," for
15203	  comma, "\^" and "\:" as well.
15204	+ corrected some memory leaks in ncurses.c, and a minor logic error
15205	  in the top-level command-parser.
15206	+ correction for label format 4 (PC style with info line), a
15207	  slk_clear(), slk_restore() sequence didn't redraw the info line
15208	  (Juergen Pfeifer).
15209	+ modified the slk window (if simulated) to inherit the background and
15210	  default character attributes from stdscr (Juergen Pfeifer).
15211	+ corrected limit-check in set_top_row (Juergen Pfeifer).
15212
15213961019	- snapshot
15214	+ correct loop-limit in wnoutrefresh(), bug exposed during pipe-testing
15215	  had '.lastchar' entry one beyond '._maxx'.
15216	+ modify ncurses test-program to work with data piped to it.
15217	+ corrected pathname computation in run_tic.sh, removing extra "../"
15218	  (reported by Tim Mooney).
15219	+ modified configure script to use previous install's location for
15220	  curses.h
15221	+ added NetBSD and FreeBSD to platforms that use --prefix=/usr as
15222	  a default.
15223
15224961013
15225	+ revised xterm terminfo descriptions to reflect the several versions
15226	  that are available.
15227	+ corrected a pointer reference in dump_entry.c that didn't test if
15228	  the pointer was -1.
15229
15230961005	- snapshot
15231	+ correct _nc_mvcur_scrolln for terminals w/o scrolling region.
15232	+ add -x option to hashtest to control whether it allows writes to the
15233	  lower-right corner.
15234	+ ifdef'd (NCURSES_TEST) the logic for _nc_optimize_enable to make it
15235	  simpler to construct tests (for double-check of _nc_hash_map tests).
15236	+ correct ifdef's for c++ in curses.h
15237	+ change default xterm type to xterm-x11r6.
15238	+ correct quoting in configure that made man pages installed with
15239	  $datadir instead of actual terminfo path.
15240	+ correct whitespace in include/Caps, which caused kf11, clr_eol and
15241	  clr_end to be omitted from terminfo.5
15242	+ fix memory leaks in delscreen() (adapted from Alexander V Lukyanov).
15243	+ improve appearance of marker in multi-selection menu (Juergen
15244	  Pfeifer)
15245	+ fix behavior for forms with all fields inactive (Juergen Pfeifer)
15246	+ document 'field_index()' (Juergen Pfeifer)

15249	+ modify newwin to set initial state of each line to 'touched'
15250	  (from patch by Peter Wemm <peter@spinner.dialix.com>)
15251	+ in SET_TTY, replace TCSANOW with TCSADRAIN (Alexander V Lukyanov).
15252
15253960928	- snapshot
15254	+ ifdef'd out _nc_hash_map (still slower)
15255	+ add graphic characters to vt52 description.
15256	+ use PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to ensure proper background, position.
15257	+ simplify/correct logic in 'mvcur()' that does wrapping; it was
15258	  updating the position w/o actually moving the cursor, which broke
15259	  relative moves.
15260	+ ensure that 'doupdate()' sets the .oldindex values back to a sane
15261	  state; this was causing a spurious refresh in ncurses 'r'.
15262	+ add logic to configure (from vile) to guard against builders who
15263	  don't remove config.cache & config.status when doing new builds -TD
15264	+ corrected logic for 'repeat_char' in EmitRange (cf: eric #317), which
15265	  did not follow the 2-parameter scheme specified in XSI.
15266	+ corrected logic of wrefresh, wnoutrefresh broken in #319, making
15267	  clearok work properly (report by Michael Elkins).
15268	+ corrected problem with endwin introduced by #314 (removing the
15269	  scrolling-region reset) that broke ncurses.c tests.
15270	+ corrected order of args in AC_CHECK_LIB (from report by Ami Fischman
15271	  <fischman@math.ucla.edu>).
15272	+ corrected formatting of terminfo.5 tables (Juergen Ehling)
15273	> patch 320 (ESR):
15274	+ change ABI to 3.3
15275	+ emit a carriage-return in 'endwin()' to workaround a kernel bug in
15276	  BSDI.  (requested by Mike Karels <karels@redrock.bsdi.com>)
15277	+ reverse the default o configure --enable-termcap (consensus).
15278	> patch 319 (ESR):
15279	+ modified logic for clearok and related functions (from report by
15280	  Michael Elkins) - untested
15281	> patch 318 (ESR):
15282	+ correction to #317.
15283	> patch 317 (ESR):

15285	+ modify EmitRange to maintain position as per original design
15286	  (patch by A. Lukyanov).
15287	+ modify test/ncurses.c and tputs, etc., to allow trace counting
15288	  output characters.
15289	+ add hashtest.c program to time the hashmap optimization.
15290	> patch 316 (ESR):
15291	+ add logic to deal with magic-cookie (how was this tested?)
15292	  (lib_doupdate.c).
15293	+ add ncurses.c driver for magic-cookie, some fixes to ncurses.c
15294	> patch 315 (ESR):
15295	+ merge changes to lib_doupdate.c to use ech and rep - untested
15296	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
15297	+ modified handling of interrupted system calls - untested
15298	  (lib_getch.c, lib_twait.c).
15299	+ new function _nc_mvcur_resume()
15300	+ fix return value for 'overlay()', 'overwrite()'
15301
15302960914	- snapshot
15303	+ implement subwindow-logic in wresize, minor fixes to ncurses 'g'
15304	  test.
15305	+ corrected bracketing of fallback.c (reported/suggested fix by Juergen
15306	  Ehling <eh@eclipse.aball.de>).
15307	+ update xterm-color to reflect XFree86 3.1.3G release.
15308	+ correct broken dtterm description from #314 patch (e.g., spurious
15309	  newline.  The 'pairs' change might work, but no one's tested it
15310	  either ;-)
15311	+ clarify the documentation for the builtin form fieldtypes (Juergen
15312	  Pfeifer)
15313	> patch 314 (ESR):
15314	+ reset scroll region on startup rather than at wrapup time
15315	  (enhancement suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
15316	+ make storage of palette tables and their size counts per-screen for
15317	  multi-terminal applications (suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
15318	+ Improved error reporting for infotocap translation errors.
15319	+ Update terminfo.src to 9.13.14.
15320
15321960907	- snapshot
15322	+ rewrote wgetstr to make it erase control chars and also fix bogus use
15323	  of _nc_outstr which caused the display to not wrap properly (display
15324	  problem reported by John M. Flinchbaugh <glynis@netrax.net>)
15325	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to accommodate terminal responses to C1 codes
15326	  (and split up this screen to accommodate non-ANSI terminals).
15327	+ test enter_insert_mode and exit_insert_mode in has_ic().
15328	+ removed bogus logic in mvcur that assumes nl/nonl set output modes
15329	  (XSI says they are input modes; SVr4 implements this).
15330	+ added macros SET_TTY, GET_TTY to term.h
15331	+ correct getstr() logic that altered terminal modes w/o restoring.
15332	+ disable ICRNL, etc., during initialization to match SVr4, removing
15333	  the corresponding logic from raw, cbreak, etc.
15334	+ disable ONLCR during initialization, to match SVr4 (this is needed
15335	  for cursor optimization when the cursor-down is a newline).
15336	+ replaced ESR's imitation of wresize with my original (his didn't
15337	  work).
15338
15339960831	- snapshot
15340	+ memory leaks (Alexander V. Lukyanov).
15341	+ modified pnoutrefresh() to be more tolerant of too-large screen
15342	  size (reported by Michael Elkins).

15345	+ correct "tic -s" to take into account -I, -C options.
15346	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to not print codes 80 through 9F, since they
15347	  are considered control codes by ANSI terminals.
15348
15349960824	- snapshot
15350	+ correct speed variable-type in 'tgetent()' (reported by Peter Wemm)
15351	+ make "--enable-getcap" configuration-option work (reported by

15372	+ minor fixes to ncurses.c (use 'noraw()', mvscanw return-code)
15373	+ refine configure-test for "-g" option (Tim Mooney).
15374	+ correct interaction between O_BLANK and NEW_LINE request in form
15375	  library (Juergen Pfeifer)
15376
15377960804
15378	+ revised fix to tparm; previous fix reversed parameter order.
15379	> patch 312 (ESR):
15380	  correct terminfo.src corrupted by #310
15381	> patch 311 (ESR):
15382	+ fix idlok() and idcok() and the default of the idlok switch (report
15383	  by Ville Sulko).
15384
15385960803	- snapshot
15386	+ corrected tparm to handle capability strings without explicit pop
15387	  (reported by William P Setzer)

15393	+ updated qnx terminfo entry (patch by Michael Hunter)
15394
15395960730
15396	+ eliminate quoted includes in ncurses subdirectory, ensure config.h
15397	  is included first.
15398	+ newterm initializes terminal settings the same as initscr (reported
15399	  by Tim Mooney).
15400
15401960727	- snapshot
15402	+ call cbreak() in initscr(), as per XSI & SVr4.
15403	+ turn off hardware echo in initscr() as per XSI & SVr4

15412	+ corrected calls on _nc_render so that background character is set
15413	  as per XSI.
15414	+ corrected wbkgdset macro (XSI allows background character to be
15415	  null), and tests that use it.
15416	+ more corrections to terminfo (xterm & rxvt)
15417	+ undid change to mcprint prototype (cannot use size_t in curses.h
15418	  because not all systems declare it in the headers that we can safely
15419	  include therein).
15420	+ move the ifdefs for errno into curses.priv.h
15421	> patch 308 (ESR):

15439	+ cosmetic fixes to test/ncurses.c
15440	+ modify open() call in ncurses/read_entry.c to use O_RDONLY symbol
15441	  rather than constant (report by mib).

15443	  Muyter).
15444	+ modify ncurses/comp_parse.c so that entries containing a "+" can
15445	  have missing rmcup vs smcup.
15446
15447960707
15448	+ rollback ESR's #305 change to terminfo.src (it breaks existing

15450	+ correct path of edit_man.sh, and fix typo that made all man pages
15451	  preformatted.
15452	+ restore man/menu_requestname.3x omitted in Zeyd's resync (oops).
15453	+ auto-configure the GCC_PRINTFLIKE/GCC_SCANFLIKE macros (reported by

15459	  descriptions.
15460	+ work around autoconf bug, force $INSTALL to absolute path
15461	  (reported by Zeyd).

15463	  (reported by David MacKenzie).
15464	+ add/use gcc __attribute__ for printf and scanf in curses.h
15465	+ added SGR attributes test-case to ncurses
15466	+ revised ncurses 't' logic to show trace-disable effect in the menu.
15467	+ use getopt in ncurses program to process -s and -t options.
15468	+ make ncurses 'p' legend toggle with '?'
15469	+ disable scrollok during the ncurses 'p' test; if it is enabled the
15470	  stdscr will scroll when putting the box-corners in the lower-right
15471	  of the screen.
15472	> patch 305 (ESR):
15473	+ added sanity-checking of various paired string attributes.
15474	+ misc/terminfo.src update to 9.13.7 (report by A. Lukyanov).
15475	+ modify man/Makefile.in to make terminfo.5 during normal build.
15476	> patch 304 (ESR):
15477	+ corrected allocation-length for $HOME/.terminfo path.
15478
15479960629	- snapshot
15480	+ check return code of _nc_mvcur_scrolln() in _nc_scroll_optimize() for
15481	  terminals with no scrolling-support (reported by Nikolay Shadrin
15482	  <queen@qh.mirea.ac.ru>)
15483	+ added ^S scrollok-toggle to ncurses 'g' test.
15484	+ added ^T trace-toggle to ncurses tests.
15485	+ modified ncurses test program to use ^Q or ESC consistently for
15486	  terminating tests (rather than ^D), and to use control keys rather
15487	  than function keys in 'g' test.
15488	+ corrected misplaced wclrtoeol calls in addch to accommodate wrapping
15489	  (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
15490	+ modify lib_doupdate.c to use effective costs to tradeoff between
15491	  delete-character/insert-character vs normal updating (reported by
15492	  David MacKenzie).
15493	+ compute effective costs for screen update operations (e.g., clr_eos,
15494	  delete_character).
15495	+ corrected error in knight.c exposed by wrap fixes in 960622; the
15496	  msgwin needed scrollok set.
15497	+ corrected last change to IDcTransformLine logic to avoid conflict
15498	  between PutRange and InsStr
15499	+ modified run_tic.sh to not use /usr/tmp (reported by David

15503
15504960622	- snapshot
15505	+ modified logic that wraps cursor in addch to follow the XSI spec,
15506	  (implemented in SVr4) which states that the cursor position is
15507	  updated when wrapping.  Renamed _NEED_WRAP to _WRAPPED to reflect the
15508	  actual semantics.
15509	+ added -s option to tic, to provide better diagnostics in run_tic.sh
15510	+ improved error-recovery for tabset install.
15511	+ change ABI to 3.1 (dropped tparam, corrected getbkgd(), added
15512	  _yoffset to WINDOW).
15513	+ modified initialization of SP->_ofp so that init_acs() is called with
15514	  the "right" file pointer (reported by Rick Marshall <rjm@nlc.net.au>
15515	+ documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer).
15516	+ corrected, using new SCREEN and WINDOW members, the behavior of
15517	  ncurses if one uses ripoffline() to remove a line from the top of the
15518	  screen (Juergen Pfeifer).
15519	+ modified autoconf scripts to prepare for Ada95 (GNAT) binding to
15520	  ncurses (Juergen Pfeifer).

15522
15523960617
15524	+ corrected two logic errors in read_entry.c, write_entry.c (called by
15525	  tic, the write/read of terminfo entries used inconsistent rules for
15526	  locating the entries; the $TERMINFO_DIRS code would find only the
15527	  first entry in a list).
15528	+ refined pathname computation in run_tic.sh and shlib.
15529	+ corrected initialization of $IP in misc/run_tic.sh

15536	  with a shared-library configuration.
15537	+ adjusted configure script so that it doesn't run tests with the
15538	  warnings turned on, which makes config.log hard to read.
15539	+ added 'lint' rule to top-level Makefile.
15540	+ added configure option '--with-install-prefix' for use by system
15541	  builders to install into staging locations (requested by
15542	  Charles Levert <charles@comm.polymtl.ca>).
15543	+ corrected autoconfigure for Debian man program; it's not installed
15544	  as "man_db".

15546	+ updated test/configure.in for timing-display in ncurses 'p' test
15547	+ corrected misspelled 'getbkgd()'.
15548	+ corrected wbkgdset to work like observed syvr4 (sets A_CHARTEXT part
15549	  to blank if no character given, copies attributes to window's
15550	  attributes).
15551	+ modified lib_doupdate.c to use lower-level SP's current_attr state
15552	  instead of curscr's state, since it is redundant.
15553	+ correction to IDcTransformLine logic which controls where InsStr is
15554	  invoked (refined by Alexander V Lukyanov).
15555	> patch 303 (ESR):

15594960518	- snapshot
15595	+ revised ncurses.c panner test, let pad abut all 4 sides of screen.
15596	+ refined case in lib_doupdate.c for ClrToEOL().
15597	+ corrected prior change for PutRange (Alexander V Lukyanov
15598	  <lav@yars.free.net>).
15599	+ autoconf mods (Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>).
15600	+ locale fix for forms (Philippe De Muyter <phdemuyt@ulb.ac.be>)
15601	+ renamed "--with-datadir" option to "--with-ticdir" to avoid
15602	  confusion, and made this check for the /usr/lib/terminfo pre-existing

15613960512
15614	+ use getopt in 'tic'; added -L option and modified -e option to allow
15615	  list from a file.
15616
15617960511
15618	+ don't use fixed buffer-size in tparm().

15672	  J Novoa III).
15673	+ restore working-directory in read_termcap.c (report by Kayvan
15674	  Sylvan).
15675	+ use "-h" option on Solaris when generating shared libraries on
15676	  Solaris 2.5 to record the library name in the file, for assisting
15677	  the loader (patch by Scott Kramer).
15678	+ undo patch #294 changes to form and menu libraries (request by
15679	  Juergen Pfeifer).
15680
15681960418	- snapshot
15682	+ use autoconf 2.9
15683	+ fix for AIX 3.2.5 (must define _POSIX_SOURCE to get termios struct
15684	  definitions via <termios.h>, modified macros in lib_raw.c to avoid
15685	  K&R-style substitution)
15686	> patches 293, 294 (ESR):
15687	+ rewrite wsyncup(), wsyncdown(), as well as small fixes to form and
15688	  menu libraries to fix echo-breakage introduced by 1.8.9, 1.9.9e
15689	  changes (patches by Juergen Pfeifer).
15690	+ fix compile under QNX 4.2 by defining ONLCR in lib_raw.c when
15691	  __QNX__ is defined (patch by Michael Hunter).
15692	+ modify setupterm() to match documentation for its return value, fix
15693	  newterm to work with this change (report by Emmet Lazich).
15694	+ add checks in getch() for error, return ERR as appropriate (report by
15695	  Emmet Lazich).

15711	+ modify tic to generate directories only as-needed (and corrected
15712	  instance of use of data from function that had already returned).
15713
15714### ncurses-1.9.8a -> 1.9.9e
15715
15716* fixed broken wsyncup()/wysncdown(), as a result wnoutrefresh() now has
15717  copy-changed-lines behavior.
15718* added and documented wresize() function.
15719* more fixes to LOWER-RIGHT corner handling.
15720* changed the line-breakout optimization code to allow some lines to be
15721  emitted before the first check.
15722* added option for tic to use symbolic instead of hard links (for AFS)
15723* fix to restore auto-wrap mode.
15724* trace level can be controlled by environment variable.
15725* better handling of NULs in terminal descriptions.
15726* improved compatibility with observed SVR4 behavior.
15727* the refresh behavior of over-lapping windows is now more efficient and
15728  behaves like SVR4.
15729* use autoconf 2.7, which results in a working setup for SCO 5.0.
15730* support for ESCDELAY.
15731* small fixes for menu/form code.
15732* the test directory has its own configure.
15733* fixes to pads when optimizing scrolling.
15734* fixed several off-by-one bugs.
15735* fixes for termcap->terminfo translation; less restrictions more correct
15736  behavior.
15737
15738### ncurses-1.9.7 -> 1.9.8a
15739
15740* teach infocmp -i to recognize ECMA highlight sequences
15741* infocmp now dumps all SVr4 termcaps (not just the SVr4 ones) on -C
15742* support infocmp -RBSD.
15743* satisfy XSI Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
15744* This represents the last big change to the public interface of ncurses. The
15745  ABI_VERSION has now been set at 3.0 and should stay there barring any great
15746  catastrophies or acts of God.
15747* The C++ has been cleaned up in reaction to the changes to satisfy XSI's
15748  requirements.
15749* libncurses now gets linked to libcurses to help seamless emulation
15750  (replacement) of a vendor's curses. --disable-overwrite turns this behavior
15751  off.
15752
15753### ncurses-1.9.6 -> 1.9.7
15754
15755* corrected return values of setupterm()
15756* Fixed some bugs in tput (it does padding now)
15757* fixed a bug in tic that made it do the wrong thing on entries with more than
15758  one `use' capability.
15759* corrected the screen-size calculation at startup time to alter the
15760  numeric capabilities as per SVr4, not just LINES and COLS.
15761* toe(1) introduced; does what infocmp -T used to.
15762* tic(1) can now translate AIX box1 and font[0123] capabilities.
15763* tic uses much less core, the dotic.sh kluge can go away now.
15764* fix read_entry() and write_entry() to pass through cancelled capabilities OK.
15765* Add $HOME/.terminfo as source/target directory for terminfo entries.
15766* termcap compilation now automatically dumps an entry to $HOME/.terminfo.
15767* added -h option to toe(1).
15768* added -R option to tic(1) and infocmp(1).
15769* added fallback-entry-list feature.
15770* added -i option to infocmp(1).
15771* do a better job at detecting if we're on SCO.
15772
15773### ncurses-1.9.5 -> 1.9.6
15774
15775* handling of TERMCAP environment variables now works correctly.
15776* various changes to shorten termcap translations to less that 1024 chars.
15777* tset(1) added
15778* mouse support for xterm.
15779* most data tables are now const and accordingly live in shareable text space.
15780* Obey the XPG4/SVr4 practice that echo() is initially off.
15781* tic is much better at translating XENIX and AIX termcap entries now.
15782* tic can interpret ko capabilities now.
15783* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's forms library.
15784* taught write_entry() how not to write more than it needs to; this change
15785  reduces the size of the terminfo tree by a full 26%!
15786* infocmp -T option added.
15787* better warnings about historical tic quirks from tic.
15788
15789### ncurses 1.9.4 -> 1.9.5
15790
15791* menus library is now included with documentation.
15792* lib_mvcur has been carefully profiled and tuned.
15793* Fixed a ^Z-handling bug that was tanking lynx(1).
15794* HJ Lu's patches for ELF shared libraries under Linux
15795* terminfo.src 9.8.2
15796* tweaks for compiling in separate directories.
15797* Thomas Dickey's patches to support NeXT's brain-dead linker
15798* Eric Raymond's patches to fix problems with long termcap entries.
15799* more support for shared libraries under SunOS and IRIX.
15800
15801### ncurses 1.9.3 -> 1.9.4
15802
15803* fixed an undefined-order-of-evaluation bug in lib_acs.c
15804* systematically gave non-API public functions and data an _nc_ prefix.
15805* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's menu code into the distribution.
15806* totally rewrote the knight test game's interface
15807
15808### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.3
15809
15810* fixed the TERMCAP_FILE Support.
15811* fixed off-by-one errors in scrolling code
15812* added tracemunch to the test tools
15813* took steps to cut the running time of make install.data
15814
15815### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.2d
15816
15817* revised 'configure' script to produce libraries for normal, debug,
15818  profile and shared object models.
15819
15820### ncurses 1.9.1 -> 1.9.2
15821
15822* use 'autoconf' to implement 'configure' script.
15823* panels support added
15824* tic now checks for excessively long termcap entries when doing translation
15825* first cut at eliminating namespace pollution.
15826
15827### ncurses 1.8.9 -> 1.9
15828
15829* cleanup gcc warnings for the following: use size_t where 'int' is not
15830  appropriate, fixed some shadowed variables, change attr_t to compatible with
15831  chtype, use attr_t in some places where it was confused with 'int'.
15832* use chtype/attr_t casts as appropriate to ensure portability of masking
15833  operations.
15834* added-back waddchnstr() to lib_addstr.c (it had been deleted).
15835* supplied missing prototypes in curses.h
15836* include <termcap.h> in lib_termcap.c to ensure that the prototypes
15837  are consistent (they weren't).
15838* corrected prototype of tputs in <termcap.h>
15839* rewrote varargs parsing in lib_tparm.c (to avoid referencing memory
15840  that may be out of bounds on the stack) -- Purify found this.
15841* ensure that TRACE is defined in lib_trace.c (to solve prototype
15842  warnings from gcc).
15843* corrected scrolling-region size in 'mvcur_wrap()'
15844* more spelling fixes
15845* use 'calloc()' to allocate WINDOW struct in lib_newwin.c (Purify).
15846* set default value for SP->_ofp in lib_set_term.c (otherwise SunOS dumps
15847  core in init_acs()).
15848* include <errno.h> in write_entry.c (most "braindead" includes declare errno
15849  in that file).
15850
15851### ncurses 1.8.8 -> 1.8.9
15852
15853* compile (mostly) clean with gcc 2.5.8 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
15854  -Wmissing-prototypes -Wconversion and using __attribute__ to flush out
15855  non-portable use of "%x" for pointers, or for chtype data (which is declared
15856  as a long).
15857* modified doupdate to ensure that typahead was turned on before attempting
15858  select-call (otherwise, some implementations hang).
15859* added trace mask TRACE_FIFO, use this in lib_getch.c to allow finer
15860  resolution of traces.
15861* improved bounds checking on several critical functions.
15862* the data directory has been replaced by the new master terminfo file.
15863* -F file-comparison option added to infocmp.
15864* compatibility with XSI Curses is now documented in the man bages.
15865* wsyncup/wsyncdown functions are reliable now; subwindow code in general
15866  is much less flaky.
15867* capabilities ~msgr, tilde_glitch, insert_padding, generic_type, no_pad_char,
15868  memory_above, memory_below, and hard_copy are now used properly.
15869* cursor-movement optimization has been completely rewritten.
15870* vertical-movement optimization now uses hardware scrolling, il, dl.
15871
15872### ncurses 1.8.7 -> 1.8.8
15873* untic no longer exists, infocmp replaces it.
15874* tic can understand termcap now, especially if it is called captoinfo.
15875* The Linux Standard Console terminfo entry is called linux insead of console.
15876  It also uses the kernel's new method of changing charsets.
15877* initscr() will EXIT upon error (as the docs say) This will mostly happen if
15878  you try to run on an undefined terminal.
15879* I can get things running on AIX but tic can't compile terminfo. I have to
15880  compile entries on another machine. Volunteers to hunt this bug are welcome.
15881* wbkgd() and wbkgdset() can be used to set a windows background to color.
15882  wclear()/werase() DO NOT use the current attribute to clear the screen.
15883  This is the way SVR4 curses works. PDCurses 2.1 is broken in this respect,
15884  though PDCurses 2.2 has been fixed.
15885* cleaned up the test/ directory.
15886* test/worm will segfault after quite a while.
15887* many spelling corrections courtesy of Thomas E. Dickey
15888
15889### ncurses 1.8.6 -> 1.8.7
15890* cleaned up programs in test/ directory.
15891* fixed wbkgdset() macro.
15892* modified getstr() to stop it from advancing cursor in noecho mode.
15893* modified linux terminfo entry to work with the latest kernel to get
15894  the correct alternate character set.
15895* also added a linux-mono entry for those running on monochrome screens.
15896* changed initscr() so that it behaves like the man page says it does.
15897  this fixes the problem with programs in test/ crashing with SIGSEV if
15898  a terminal is undefined.
15899* modified addch() to avoid using any term.h #define's
15900* removed duplicate tgoto() in lib_tparm.c
15901* modified dump_entry.c so that infocmp deals correctly with ',' in acsc
15902* modified delwin() to correctly handle deleting subwindows.
15903* fixed Makefile.dist to stop installing an empty curses.h
15904* fixed a couple of out-of-date notes in man pages.
15905
15906### ncurses 1.8.5 -> 1.8.6
15907* Implemented wbkgd(), bkgd(), bkgdset(), and wbkgdset().
15908* The handling of attributes has been improved and now does not turn off color
15909  if other attributes are turned off.
15910* scrolling code is improved. Scrolling in subwindows is still broken.
15911* Fixes to several bugs that manifest them on platforms other than Linux.
15912* The default to meta now depends on the status of the terminal when ncurses
15913  is started.
15914* The interface to the tracing facility has changed.  Instead of the pair of
15915  functions traceon() and traceoff(), there is just one function trace() which
15916  takes a trace mask argument.  The trace masks, defined in curses.h, are
15917  as follows:
15918
15919	#define TRACE_DISABLE   0x00    /* turn off tracing */
15920	#define TRACE_ORDINARY  0x01    /* ordinary trace mode */
15921	#define TRACE_CHARPUT   0x02    /* also trace all character outputs */
15922	#define TRACE_MAXIMUM   0x0f    /* maximum trace level */
15923
15924  More trace masks may be added, or these may be changed, in future releases.
15925* The pad code has been improved and the pad test code in test/ncurses.c has
15926  been improved.
15927* The prototype ansi entry has been changed to work with a wider variety
15928  of emulators.
15929* Fix to the prototype ansi entry that enables it to work with PC emulators
15930  that treat trailing ";m" in a highlight sequence as ";0m"; this doesn't
15931  break operation with any emulators.
15932* There are now working infocmp, captoinfo, tput, and tclear utilities.
15933* tic can now compile entries in termcap syntax.
15934* Core-dump bug in pnoutrefresh fixed.
15935* We now recognize and compile all the nonstandard capabilities in Ross
15936  Ridge's mytinfo package (rendering it obsolete).
15937* General cleanup and documentation improvements.
15938* Fixes and additions to the installation-documentation files.
15939* Take cursor to normal mode on endwin.
15940
15941### ncurses 1.8.4 -> 1.8.5
15942* serious bugs in updating screen which caused erratic non-display,
15943  fixed.
15944* fixed initialization for getch() related variable which cause
15945  unpredictable results.
15946* fixed another doupdate bug which only appeared if you have
15947  parm_char.
15948* implemented redrawln() and redrawwin().
15949* implemented winsnstr() and related functions.
15950* cleaned up insertln() and deleteln() and implemented (w)insdeln().
15951* changed Makefile.dist so that installation of man pages will
15952  take note of the terminfo directory.
15953* fixed Configure (removed the mysterious 'X').
15954* Eric S. Raymond fixed the script.* files so that they work with
15955  stock awk.
15956
15957#### ncurses 1.8.3 -> 1.8.4 #### ####
15958* fixed bug in refreshing the screen after return from shell_mode.
15959  There are still problems but they don't manifest themselves on
15960  my machine (Linux 0.99.14f).
15961* added wgetnstr() and modified things accordingly.
15962* fixed the script.src script.test to work with awk not just gawk.
15963* Configure can now take an argument of the target system.
15964* added test/ncurses.c which replaces several other programs and
15965  performs more testing.
15966[Thanks to Eric S Raymond for the last 4]
15967* more fixes to lib_overlay.c and added test/over.c to illustrate
15968  how it works.
15969* fixed ungetch() to take int instead of ch.
15970* fixes to cure wgetch() if flushinp() is called.
15971
15972One note I forgot to mention in 1.8.3 is that tracing is off by
15973default starting in the version. If you want tracing output, put
15974traceon(); in your code and link with -ldcurses.
15975
15976#### ncurses 1.8.2 -> ncurses 1.8.3 #### ####
15977MAJOR CHANGES:
159781) The order of capabilities has been changed in order to achieve
15979binary compatibility with SVR4 terminfo database. This has the
15980unfortunate effect of breaking application currently linked with
15981ncurses. To ensure correct behavior, recompile all such programs.
15982Most programs using color or newer capabilities will break, others
15983will probably continue to work ok.
15984
159852) Pavel Curtis has renounced his copyright to the public domain.
15986This means that his original sources (posted to comp.sources.unix,
15987volume 1) are now in the public domain.  The current sources are
15988NOT in the public domain, they are copyrighted by me.  I'm
15989entertaining ideas on what the new terms ncurses is released under.
15990
159913) Eric S. Raymond has supplied a complete set of man pages for
15992ncurses in ?roff format. They will eventually replace most of the
15993current docs. Both sets are included in this release.
15994
15995Other changes and notes from 1.8.2 include:
15996* SIGSEGV during scrolling no longer occurs.
15997* Other problems with scrolling and use of idl have been corrected.
15998* lib_getch.c has been re-written and should perform flawlessly.
15999  please use test/getch.c and any other programs to test this.
16000* ripoffline() is implemented (Thanks to Eric) and slk_ functions
16001  changed accordingly.
16002* I've added support for terminals that scroll if you write in the
16003  bottom-right corner.
16004* fixed more bugs in pads code. If anybody has a program that uses
16005  pads I'd love a copy.
16006* correct handling for terminal with back_color_erase capability
16007  (such as Linux console, and most PC terminals)
16008* ^Z handling apparently didn't work (I should never trust code
16009  sent me to me without extensive testing). It now seems to be
16010  fixed. Let me know if you have problems.
16011* I've added support for Apollo and NeXT, but it may still be
16012  incomplete, especially when dealing with the lack of POSIX
16013  features.
16014* scrolling should be more efficient on terminals with idl
16015  capabilities. Please see src/lib_scroll.c for more notes.
16016* The line drawing routines were offset by 1 at both ends. This
16017  is now fixed.
16018* added a few missing prototypes and macros (e.g. setterm())
16019* fixed code in src/lib_overlay.c which used to crash.
16020* added a few more programs in test/ The ones from the PDCurses
16021  package are useful, especially if you have SVR4 proper. I'm
16022  interested in the results you get on such a systems (Eric? ;-).
16023  They already exposed certain bugs in ncurses.
16024* See src/README for porting notes.
16025* The C++ code should really replace ncurses.h instead of working
16026  around it. It should avoid name-space clashes with nterm.h (use
16027  rows instead of lines, etc.)
16028* The C++ should compile ok. I've added explicit rules to the
16029  Makefile because no C++ defaults are documented on the suns.
16030* The docs say that echo() and nocbreak() are mutually exclusive.
16031  At the moment ncurses will switch to cbreak() if the case above
16032  occurs. Should it continue to do so? How about echo() and noraw()?
16033* PDCurses seem to assume that wclear() will use current attribute
16034  when clearing the screen. According to Eric this is not the case
16035  with SVR4.
16036* I have discovered, to my chagrin, SunOS 4.x (and probably other systems)
16037  * doesn't have vsscanf and God knows what else!  I've will do a vsscanf().
16038* I've also found out that the src/script.* rely on gawk and will not
16039  work with stock awk or even with nawk. Any changes are welcome.
16040* Linux is more tolerant of NULL dereferences than most systems. This
16041  fact was exposed by hanoi.
16042* ncurses still seems inefficient in drawing the screen on a serial
16043  link between Linux and suns. The padding may be the culprit.
16044* There seems to be one lingering problem with doupdate() after shelling
16045  out. Despite the fact the it is sending out the correct information
16046  to the terminal, nothing takes effect until you press ^L or another
16047  refresh takes place. And yes, output does get flushed.
16048
16049#### ncurses 1.8.1 -> ncurses 1.8.2 #### Nov 28, 1993 ####
16050
16051* added support for SVR4 and BSDI's BSD/386.
16052* major update and fix to scrolling routine.
16053* MORE fixes to stuff in lib_getch.c.
16054* cleaned-up configuration options and can now generate
16055	Config.* files through an awk script.
16056* changed setupterm() so it can be called more than once,
16057	add added set_curterm(), del_curterm().
16058* a few minor cleanups.
16059* added more prototypes in curses.h
16060
16061#### ncurses 1.8 -> ncurses 1.8.1 #### Nov 4, 1993 ####
16062
16063* added support for NeXTStep 3.0
16064* added termcap emulation (not well tested).
16065* more complete C++ interface to ncurses.

16067* a couple of bug fixes.
16068* a few code cleanups.
16069
16070#### ncurses 0.7.2/0.7.3 -> ncurses 1.8 #### Aug 31, 1993 ####
16071
16072* The annoying message "can't open file." was due to missing
16073  terminfo entry for the used terminal. It has now been
16074  replaced by a hopefully more helpful message.
16075* Problems with running on serial lines are now fixed.
16076* Added configuration files for SunOS, Linux, HP/UX, Ultrix,
16077  386bsd/BSDI (if you have others send'em to me)
16078* Cleaner Makefile.
16079* The documentation in manual.doc is now more uptodate.
16080* update optimization and support for hp terminals, and 386bsd
16081  console driver(s).
16082* mvcur optimization for terminals without cursor addressing
16083  (doesn't work on Linux)
16084* if cursor moved since last update, getch() will refresh the
16085  screen before working.
16086* getch() & alarm() can now live together. in 0.7.3 a signal
16087  interrupted getch() (bug or feature?) now the getch is
16088  restarted.
16089* scanw() et all were sick, now fixed.
16090* support for 8-bit input (use meta()).
16091* added default screen size to all terminfos.
16092* added c++ Ncursesw class.
16093* several minor bug fixes.
16094
16095#### ncurses 0.7.2 -> ncurses 0.7.3 #### May 27, 1993 ####
16096

16099* changes related to Config
16100
16101#### ncurses 0.7 -> ncurses 0.7.2 #### May 22, 1993 ####
16102
16103* docs updated slightly (color usage is now documented).
16104* yet another fix for getch(), this one fixes problems with ESC being swallowed
16105  if another character is typed before the 1 second timeout.
16106* Hopefully, addstr() and addch() are 8-bit clean.
16107* fixed lib_tparm.c to use stdarg.h (should run on suns now)
16108* order of capabilities changed to reflect that specified in SYSV
16109  this will allow for binary-compatibility with existing terminfo dbs.
16110* added halfdelay()
16111* fixed problems with asc_init()
16112* added A_PROTECT and A_INVIS
16113* cleaned up vidputs()
16114* general cleanup of the code
16115* more attention to portability to other systems
16116* added terminfos for hp70092 (won't work until changes to lib_update.c are
16117  made) and 386BSD pcvt drivers.
16118
16119Thanks to Hellmuth Michaelis for his help.
16120optimization code is slated for the next major release, stay tuned!
16121
16122#### ncurses 0.6/0.61 -> ncurses 0.7 #### April 1, 1993
16123Please note that the next release will be called 1.8. If you want to know about
16124the rationale drop me a line.
16125
16126Included are several test programs in test/.

16128available separately from netcom.com:pub/zmbenhal/
16129
16130* color and ACS support is now fully compatible with SYSV at the terminfo
16131  level.
16132* Capabilities now includes as many SYSV caps I could find.
16133* tigetflag,tigetnum,tigetstr functions added.

16135  strnames, strfnames, strcodes arrays are now added.
16136* keyname() is added.
16137* All function keys can be defined in terminfo entries.

16141* included fixes from 0.6.1
16142* added a few more missing functions.
16143* fixed a couple of minor bugs.

16152
161533) corrected usage of win->_delay value.
16154
161554) fixed a bug in lib_getch.c. if it didn't recognize a sequence it would
16156	simply return the last character in the sequence. The correct
16157	behavior is to return the entire sequence one character at a time.
16158
