2156	+ build-fix for test/movewindow with ncurses-examples on Solaris.
2157	+ add "-l" option to test/background, to dump screen contents in a form
2158	  that lets different curses implementations be compared.
2159	+ modify the initialization checks for mouse so that the xterm+sm+1006
2160	  block will work with terminal descriptions not mentioning xterm
2161	  (report by Tomas Janousek).
2162
216320181117
2164	+ ignore the hex/b64 $TERMINFO in toe's listing.
2165	+ correct a status-check in _nc_read_tic_entry() so that if reading
2166	  a hex/b64 $TERMINFO, and the $TERM does not match, fall-through to
2167	  the compiled-in search list.

2182	+ allow value for --with-versioned-syms to be a relative pathname
2183	+ add a couple of broken-linker symbols to the list of versioned
2184	  symbols to help with link-time optimization versus weak symbols.
2185	+ apply shift/control/alt logic when decoding xterm's 1006 mode to

2187
218820181013
2189	+ amend change from 20180818, which undid a fix for the $INSTALL value
2190	  to make it an absolute path.
2191
219220181006
2193	+ improve a configure check to work with newer optimizers (report by
2194	  Denis Pronin, Gentoo #606142).

2211	  by Chris Clayton).
2212
221320180922
2214	+ ignore interrupted system-call in test/ncurses's command-line, e.g.,
2215	  if the terminal were resized.
2216	+ add shift/control/alt logic for decoding xterm's 1006 mode (Redhat
2217	  #1610681, cf: 20141011).
2218	+ modify rpm test-packages to not use --disable-relink with Redhat,
2219	  since Fedora 28's tools do not work with that feature.
2220
222120180908
2222	+ document --with-pcre2 configure option in INSTALL.
2223	+ improve workaround for special case in PutAttrChar() where a cell is
2224	  marked as alternate-character set, to handle a case where the
2225	  character in the cell does not correspond to any of the ASCII
2226	  fallbacks (report by Leon Winter, cf: 20180505).
2227	+ amend change to form library which attempted to avoid unnecessary
2228	  update of cursor position in non-public fields, to simply disable
2229	  output in this case (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20180414).
2230	+ improve check for LINE_MAX runtime limit, to accommodate broken
2231	  implementations of sysconf().
2232
223320180901
2234	+ improve manual page for wgetnstr, giving background for the length
2235	  parameter.
2236	+ define a limit for wgetnstr, wgetn_wstr when length is negative or
2237	  "too large".
2238	+ update configure script to autoconf 2.52.20180819 (Debian #887390).
2239
224020180825
2241	+ add a section to tput manual page clarifying how it determines the
2242	  terminal size (prompted by discussion with Grant Jenks).
2243	+ add "--disable-relink" to rpm test-packages, for consistency with the
2244	  deb test-packages.
2245	+ split spec-file into ncurses6.spec and ncursest6.spec to work around
2246	  toolset breakage in Fedora 28.
2247	+ drop mention of "--disable-touching", which was not in the final

2252	+ improved CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS.
2253	+ modify configure scripts to reduce relinking/ranlib during library
2254	  install (Debian #903790):
2255	  + use "install -p" when available, to avoid need for ranlib of
2256	    static libraries.
2257	  + modify scripts which use "--disable-relink" to add a 1-second
2258	    sleep to work around tools which use whole-second timestamps, e.g.,
2259	    in utime() rather than the actual file system resolution.
2260
226120180804
2262	+ improve logic for clear with E3 extension, in case the terminal
2263	  scrolls content onto its saved-lines before actually clearing
2264	  the display, by clearing the saved-lines after clearing the
2265	  display (report/patch by Nicholas Marriott).
2266

2277
227820180714
2279	+ add enum, regex examples to test/demo_forms
2280	+ add configure check for pcre-posix library to help with MinGW port.
2281
228220180707
2283	+ build-fixes for gcc8.
2284	+ correct order of WINDOW._ttytype versus WINDOW._windowlist in
2285	  report_offsets.
2286	+ fix a case where tiparm could return null if the format-string was
2287	  empty (Debian #902630).
2288
228920180630
2290	+ add acsc string to vi200 (Nibby Nebbulous)
2291	  add right/down-arrow to vi200's acsc -TD
2292	+ add "x" to tput's getopt string so that "tput -x clear" works
2293	  (Nicholas Marriott).
2294	+ minor fixes prompted by anonymous report on stack overflow:
2295	  + correct order of checks in _nc_get_locale(), for systems lacking
2296	    locale support.
2297	  + add "#error" in a few places to flag unsupported configurations
2298
229920180623
2300	+ use _WIN32/_WIN64 in preference to __MINGW32__/__MINGW64__ symbols
2301	  to simplify building with MSVC, since the former are defined in both
2302	  compiler configurations (report by Ali Abdulkadir).
2303	+ further improvements to configure-checks from work on dialog, i.e.,
2304	  updated CF_ADD_INCDIR, CF_FIND_LINKAGE, CF_GCC_WARNINGS,
2305	  CF_GNU_SOURCE, CF_LARGEFILE, CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE, CF_SIZECHANGE, and
2306	  CF_TRY_XOPEN_SOURCE.
2307	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2308		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
2309
231020180616
2311	+ build-fix for ncurses-examples related to gcc8-fixes (cf: 20180526).
2312	+ reduce use of _GNU_SOURCE for current glibc where _DEFAULT_SOURCE
2313	  combines with _XOPEN_SOURCE (Debian #900987).
2314	+ change target configure level for _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 to address
2315	  use of vsscanf and setenv.
2316	+ improved configure-checks CF_SIZECHANGE and CF_STRUCT_TERMIOS from
2317	  work on dialog.
2318
231920180609
2320	+ modify generated ncurses*config and ncurses.pc, ncursesw.pc, etc.,
2321	  to list helper libraries such as gpm for static linking (Debian
2322	  #900839).
2323	+ marked vwprintw and vwscanw as deprecated; recommend using vw_printw
2324	  and vw_scanw, respectively.
2325
232620180602
2327	+ add RPM test-package "ncursest-examples".
2328	+ modified RPM test-package to work with Mageia6.
2329
233020180526
2331	+ add note in curs_util.3x about unctrl.h
2332	+ review/improve header files to ensure that those include necessary
2333	  files except for the previously-documented cases (report by Isaac
2334	  Pascual Monells).
2335	+ improved test-package scripts, adapted from byacc 1.9 20180525.
2336	+ fix some gcc8 warnings seen in Redhat package build, but
2337	  work around bug in gcc8 compiler warnings in comp_parse.c
2338
233920180519
2340	+ formatting fixes for manpages, regenerate man-html documentation.
2341	+ trim spurious whitespace from tmux in 2018-02-24 changes;
2342	  fix some inconsistencies in/between tmux- and iterm2-entries for SGR
2343	  (report by C Anthony Risinger)
2344	+ improve iterm2 using some xterm features which it has adapted -TD
2345	+ add check in pair_content() to handle the case where caller asks
2346	  for an uninitialized pair (Debian #898658).
2347
234820180512
2349	+ remove trailing ';' from GCC_DEPRECATED definition.
2350	+ repair a change from 20110730 which left an error-check/warning dead.
2351	+ fix several minor Coverity warnings.
2352
235320180505
2354	+ add deprecation warnings for internal functions called by older
2355	  versions of tack.
2356	+ fix a special case in PutAttrChar() where a cell is marked as
2357	  alternate-character set, but the terminal does not actually support
2358	  the given graphic character.  This would happen in an older terminal
2359	  such as vt52, which lacks most line-drawing capability.
2360	+ use configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
2361	  conflict with Debian packages versus test-packages.
2362	+ update tracemunch to work with perl 5.26.2, which changed the rules
2363	  for escaping regular expressions.
2364
236520180428
2366	+ document new form-extension O_EDGE_INSERT_STAY (report by Leon
2367	  Winter).
2368	+ correct error-returns listed in manual pages for a few form functions
2369	  (report by Leon Winter).
2370	+ add a check in form-library for null-pointer dereference:
2371		unfocus_current_field (form);
2372		form_driver (form, REQ_VALIDATION);
2373	  (patch by Leon Winter).
2374
237520180414
2376	+ modify form library to optionally delay cursor movement on a field
2377	  edge/boundary (patch by Leon Winter).
2378	+ modify form library to avoid unnecessary update of cursor position in
2379	  non-public fields (patch by Leon Winter).
2380	+ remove unused _nc_import_termtype2() function.
2381	+ also add/improve null-pointer checks in other places
2382	+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_parse_entry to handle an error when
2383	  a use-name is invalid syntax (report by Chung-Yi Lin).
2384
238520180407
2386	+ clarify in manual pages that vwprintw and vwscanw are obsolete,
2387	  not part of X/Open Curses since 2007.
2388	+ use "const" in some prototypes rather than NCURSES_CONST where X/Open
2389	  Curses was updated to do this, e.g., wscanw, newterm, the terminfo
2390	  interface.  Also use "const" for consistency in the termcap
2391	  interface, which was withdrawn by X/Open Curses in Issue 5 (2007).
2392	  As of Issue 7, X/Open Curses still lacks "const" for certain return
2393	  values, e.g., keyname().
2394
239520180331
2396	+ improve terminfo write/read by modifying the fourth item of the
2397	  extended header to denote the number of valid strings in the extended
2398	  string table (prompted by a comment in unibilium's sources).
2399
240020180324
2401	+ amend Scaled256() macro in test/picsmap.c to cover the full range
2402	  0..1000 (report by Roger Pau Monne).
2403	+ add some checks in tracemunch for undefined variables.
2404	+ trim some redundant capabilities from st-0.7 -TD
2405	+ trim unnecessary setf/setb from interix -TD
2406
240720180317
2408	+ fix a check in infotocap which may not have detected a problem when
2409	  it should have.
2410	+ add a check in tic for the case where setf/setb are given using
2411	  different strings, but provide identical results to setaf/setab.
2412	+ further improve fix for terminfo.5 (patch by Kir Kolyshkin).
2413	+ reorder loop-limit checks in winsnstr() in case the string has no
2414	  terminating null and only the number of characters is used (patch
2415	  by Gyorgy Jeney).
2416
241720180303
2418	+ modify TurnOn/TurnOff macros in lib_vidattr.c and lib_vid_attr.c to
2419	  avoid expansion of "CUR" in trace.
2420	+ improve a few lintian warnings in test-packages.
2421	+ modify lib_setup to avoid calling pthread_self() without first
2422	  verifying that the address is valid, i.e., for weak symbols
2423	  (report/patch by Werner Fink).
2424	+ modify generated terminfo.5 to not use "expand" and related width
2425	  on the last column of tables, making layout on wide terminals look
2426	  better (adapted from patch by Kir Kolyshkin).
2427	+ add a category to report_offsets, e.g., "w" for wide-character, "t"
2428	  for threads to make the report more readable.  Reorganized the
2429	  structures reported to make the categories more apparent.
2430	+ simplify some ifdef's for extended-colors.
2431	+ add NCURSES_GLOBALS and NCURSES_PRESCREEN to report_offsets, to show
2432	  how similar the different tinfo configurations are.
2433
243420180224
2435	+ modify _nc_resolve_uses2() to detect incompatible types when merging
2436	  a "use=" clause of extended capabilities.  The problem was seen in a
2437	  defective terminfo integrated from simpleterm sources in 20171111,
2438	  compounded by repair in 20180121.
2439	+ correct Ss/Ms interchange in st-0.7 entry (tmux #1264) -TD
2440	+ fix remaining flash capabilities with trailing mandatory delays -TD
2441	+ correct cut/paste in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim).
2442
244320180217
2444	+ remove incorrect free() from 20170617 changes (report by David Macek).
2445	+ correct type for "U8" in user_caps.5; it is a number not boolean.
2446	+ add a null-pointer check in safe_sprintf.c (report by Steven Noonan).
2447	+ improve fix for Debian #882620 by reusing limit2 variable (report by
2448	  Julien Cristau, Sven Joachim).
2449
245020180210
2451	+ modify misc/Makefile.in to install/uninstall explicit list in case
2452	  the build-directory happens to have no ".pc" files when an uninstall
2453	  is performed (report by Jeffrey Walton).
2454	+ deprecate safe-sprintf, since the vsnprintf function, which does what
2455	  was needed, was standardized long ago.
2456	+ add several development/experimental options to development packages.
2457	+ minor reordering of options in configure script to make the threaded
2458	  and reentrant options distinct from the other extensions which are
2459	  normally enabled.
2460
246120180203
2462	+ minor fixes to test/*.h to make them idempotent.
2463	+ add/use test/parse_rgb.h to show how the "RGB" capability works.
2464	+ add a clarification in user_caps.5 regarding "RGB" capability.
2465	+ add extended_slk_color{,_sp} symbols to the appropriate
2466	  package/*.{map,sym} files (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20170401).
2467
246820180129
2469	+ update "VERSION" file, used in shared-library naming.
2470
247120180127 6.1 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org

247320180127
2474	+ updated release notes
2475	+ amend a warning message from tic which should have flagged misuse
2476	  of "XT" capability in "screen" terminal description.

2479	  not suitable -TD
2480	+ modify iterm to use xterm+sl-twm building block -TD
2481	+ mark konsole-420pc, konsole-vt100, konsole-xf3x obsolete reflecting
2482	  konsole's removal in 2008 -TD
2483	+ expanded the history section of konsole to explain its flawed
2484	  imitation of xterm's keyboard -TD
2485	+ use xterm+x11mouse in screen.* entries because screen does not yet
2486	  support xterm's 1006 mode -TD
2487	+ add nsterm-build400 for macOS 10.13 -TD
2488	+ add ansi+idc1, use that in ansi+idc adding dch for consistency -TD

2501	  #331 -TD
2502	+ modify xterm+256color and xterm+256setaf to use correct number of
2503	  color pairs, for ncurses 6.1 -TD
2504	+ add rs1 capability to xterm-256color -TD
2505	+ modify xterm-r5, xterm-r6 and xterm-xf86-v32 to use xterm+kbs to
2506	  match xterm #272, reflecting packager's changes -TD
2507	+ remove "boolean" Se, Ss from st-0.7 -TD

2512	+ add XT, hpa, indn, and vpa to screen, and invis, E3 to tmux (patch by
2513	  Pierre Carru)
2514	+ use xterm+sm+1006 in xterm-new, vte-2014 -TD
2515	+ use xterm+x11mouse in iterm, iterm2, mlterm3 because xterm's 1006
2516	  mode does not work with those programs.  konsole is debatable -TD
2517	+ add "termite" entry (report by Markus Pfeiffer) -TD
2518	> merge branch begun April 2, 2017 which provides these features:
2519	+ support read/write new binary-format for terminfo which stores
2520	  numeric capabilities as a signed 32-bit integer.  The test programs
2521	  such as picsmap, ncurses were created or updated during 2017 to use
2522	  this feature.
2523	+ the new format is written by the wide-character configuration of
2524	  tic when it finds a numeric capability larger than 32767.
2525	+ other applications such as infocmp built with the wide-character
2526	  ncurses library work as expected.
2527	+ applications built with the "narrow" (8-bit) configuration will
2528	  read the new format, but will limit those extended values to 32767.
2529	+ in either wide/narrow configuration, the structure defined in
2530	  term.h still uses signed 16-bit values.
2531	+ because it is incompatible with the legacy (mid-1980s) binary format,
2532	  a new magic value is provided for the "file" program.
2533	+ the term.5 manual page is updated to describe this new format.
2534	+ the limit on file-size for compiled terminfo is increased in the
2535	  wide-character configuration to 32768.
2536
253720180120
2538	+ build-fix in picsmap.c for stdint.h existence.
2539	+ add --disable-stripping option to configure scripts.
2540	+ modify ncurses-examples to install test-scripts in the data directory.
2541	+ work around tool-breakage in Debian 9 and later by invoking
2542	  gprconfig to specify the C compiler to be used by gnatmake,
2543	  and conditionally suppressing Library_Options line for static
2544	  libraries.
2545	+ bump the compat level for test-packages to 7, i.e., Debian 5.
2546
254720180106
2548	+ fixes for writing extended color pairs in putwin.
2549	+ modify test/savescreen.c to add test patterns that exercise 88-,
2550	  256-, etc., colors.
2551	+ modify configure option --with-build-cc, adding clang, c89 and c99
2552	  as possible default values.
2553	+ modify ncurses-examples configure script to use pkg-config for the
2554	  extra form/menu/panel libraries, to be more consistent with the
2555	  handling of the curses/ncurses library.
2556	+ modify test-packages for mingw to supply "pc" files.
2557	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to list -lpthread as a private library when
2558	  configured to access it via weak symbols.
2559	+ simplify gen-pkgconfig.in, adding -ltinfo without the special linker
2560	  checks because some versions of the linker simply hard-code the
2561	  behavior.
2562	+ update URLs for ncurses website to use https.
2563	+ modify CF_CURSES_LIBS to fill in $cf_nculib_root in case the
2564	  ncurses-examples are built with a system ncurses that lacks the
2565	  standard "curses" symbolic link, as done by SuSE.  The symbol is
2566	  needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and
2567	  would be set properly using the options "--with-screen", etc.
2568	+ generate misc/*.pc with "all" rule, as done for "sources" rule
2569	  (report by Jeffrey Walton).
2570
257120171230
2572	+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with Fedora27, adding check for
2573	  reset_color_pairs() -- not yet in Fedora's package.
2574	+ consistently add $CFLAGS to $MK_SHARED_LIB symbol in configure
2575	  script when the latter happens to use the C compiler rather than
2576	  directly using the loader (report by Jeffrey Walton).
2577	+ set ABI for upcoming 6.1 release in "*.map" files.  While there are
2578	  some remaining internals to apply, no ABI-related changes are
2579	  anticipated.
2580	+ add configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
2581	  conflict with Redhat packages versus test-packages.
2582
258320171223
2584	+ modify ncurses-examples to quiet const-warnings when building with
2585	  PDCurses.
2586	+ modify toe to not exit if unable to read a terminal description,
2587	  e.g., if there is a permission problem.
2588	+ minor fix for progs/toe.c, using _nc_free_termtype2.
2589	+ assign 0 to pointer in _nc_tgetent_leak() after freeing it. Also
2590	  avoid reusing pointer from previous successful call to tgetent
2591	  if the latest call is unsuccessful (patch by Michael Schroeder,
2592	  OpenSuSE #1070450).
2593	+ minor fix for test/tracemunch, initialize $awaiting variable.
2594
259520171216
2596	+ repair template in test/package/ncurses-examples.spec (cf: 20171111).
2597	+ improve tic's warning about the number of parameters tparm might use
2598	  for u1-u9 by making a special case for u6.
2599	+ improve curs_attr.3x discussion of color pairs.
2600
260120171209
2602	+ modify misc/ncurses-config.in to make output with --includedir
2603	  consistent with --cflags, i.e., when --disable-overwrite option was
2604	  configured the output should show the subdirectory where headers
2605	  are.
2606	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to suppress macros when calling an "implemented"
2607	  function in link_test.c
2608	+ updated ftp-url used in test-packages, etc.
2609	+ modify order of -pie/-shared options in configure script in case
2610	  LDFLAGS uses "-pie", working around a defect or limitation in the GNU
2611	  linker (prompted by patch by Yogesh Prasad, forwarded by Jay Shah).
2612	+ add entry in man_db.renames for user_caps.5
2613
261420171125
2615	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid tracing result from getstr/getnstr
2616	  before initialized.
2617	+ add "-a" aspect-ratio option to picsmap.
2618	+ add configure check for default path of rgb.txt, used in picsmap.
2619	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to truncate too-long filename (report by
2620	  Hosein Askari, Debian #882620).
2621	+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with NetBSD curses:
2622	  + it lacks the use_env() function.
2623	  + it lacks libpanel; a recent change used the wrong ifdef symbol.
2624	+ add a macro for is_linetouched() and adjust the function's return
2625	  value to make it possible for most applications to check for an
2626	  error-return (report by Midolikawa H).
2627	+ additional manpage cleanup.
2628	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2629		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
2630
263120171118
2632	+ add a note to curs_addch.3x on portability.
2633	+ add a note to curs_pad.3x on the origin and portability of pads.
2634	+ improve manpage description of getattrs (report by Midolikawa H).
2635	+ improve manpage macros (prompted by discussion in Debian #880551.
2636	+ reviewed test-programs using KEY_RESIZE, made fixes to test/worm.c
2637	+ add a "-d" option to picsmap for default-colors.
2638	+ modify old terminology entry and a few other terminal emulators to
2639	  account for xon -TD
2640	+ correct sgr string for tmux, which used screen's "standout" code
2641	  rather than the standard code (patch by Roman Kagan)
2642	+ correct sgr/sgr0 strings in a few other cases reported by tic, making
2643	  those correspond to the non-sgr settings where they differ, but
2644	  otherwise use ECMA-48 consistently:
2645	  jaixterm, aixterm, att5420_2, att4424, att500, decansi, d410-7b,
2646	  dm80, hpterm, emu-220, hp2, iTerm2.app, mterm-ansi, ncrvt100an,
2647	  st-0.7, vi603, vwmterm -TD
2648	+ build-fix for diagnostics warning in lib_mouse.c for pre-5.0 versions
2649	  of gcc which did not recognize the diagnostic "push" pragma (patch by
2650	  Vassili Courzakis).
2651
265220171111
2653	+ add "op" to xterm+256setaf -TD
2654	+ reviewed terminology 1.0.0 -TD
2655	+ reviewed st 0.7 -TD
2656	+ suppress debug-package for ncurses-examples rpm build.
2657
265820171104
2659	+ check for interrupt in color-pair initialization of dots_curses.c,
2660	  dots_xcurses.c
2661	+ add z/Z zoom feature to test/ncurses.c C/c screens.
2662	+ add '<' and '>' commands to test/ncurses.c S/s screens, to better
2663	  test off-by-ones in the overlap/copywin functions.
2664
266520171028
2666	+ improve man/curs_inwstr.3x, correct end-logic for lib_inwstr.c
2667	  (report by Midolikawa H).
2668	+ fix typo in a few places for "improvements" (patch by Sven Joachim).
2669	+ clear the other half of a double-width character on which a line
2670	  drawing character is drawn.
2671	+ make test/ncurses.c "s" test easier to understand which subtests are
2672	  available; add a "S" wide-character overlap test-screen.
2673	+ modify test/ncurses.c C/c tests to allow for extended color pairs.
2674	+ add endwin() call in error-returns from test/ncurses.c omitted in
2675	  recent redesign of its menu (cf: 20170923).
2676	+ improve install of hashed-db by removing the ".db" file as done for
2677	  directory-tree terminal databases.
2678	+ repair a few overlooked items in include/ncurses_defs from recent
2679	  port/refactoring of test-programs (cf: 20170909).
2680	+ add test/padview.c, to compare pads with direct updates in view.c
2681
268220171021
2683	+ modify test/view.c to expand tabs using the ncurses library rather
2684	  than in the test-program.
2685	+ remove very old SIGWINCH example in test/view.c, just use KEY_RESIZE.
2686	+ add -T, -e, -f -m options to "dots" test-programs.
2687	+ fix a few typos in usage-messages for test-programs.
2688
268920171014
2690	+ minor cleanup to test/view.c:
2691	  + eliminate "-n" option by simply reading the whole file.
2692	  + implement page up/down commands.
2693	+ add check in tput for init/reset operands to ensure those use a
2694	  terminal.
2695	+ improve manual pages which discuss chtype, cchar_t types and the
2696	  attribute values which can be stored in those types.
2697	+ correct array-index when parsing "-T" command-line option in tabs
2698	  program.
2699	+ modify demo_new_pair.c to pass extended pairs to setcchar().
2700	+ add test/dots_xcurses.c to illustrate a different approach used for
2701	  extended colors which can be contrasted with dots_curses.c.
2702	+ add a check in tic to note when a description uses non-mandatory
2703	  delays without xon_xoff.  This is not an error, but some descriptions
2704	  for a terminal emulator may use the combination incorrectly.
2705
270620171007
2707	+ modify "-T" option of clear and tput to call use_tioctl() to obtain
2708	  the operating system's notion of the screensize if possible.
2709	+ review/repair some exit-codes for tput, making usage-message exit
2710	  with 2 rather than 1, and a failure to open terminal 4+errno.
2711	+ amend check in tput, tabs and clear to allow those to use the
2712	  database-only features in cron if a -T option gives a suitable
2713	  terminal name (report by Lauri Tirkkonen).
2714	+ correct an ifdef in test/ncurses.c for systems with soft-keys but
2715	  not slk_color().
2716	+ regenerate man-html documentation.
2717
271820170930
2719	+ fix a symbol conflict that made ncurses.c C/c menu not work with
2720	  Solaris xpg4 curses.
2721	+ add refresh() call to dots_mvcur.c, needed to use mvcur() with
2722	  Solaris xpg4 curses after calling newterm().
2723	+ minor fixes for configure script from work on ncurses-examples and
2724	  tin.
2725	+ improve animation in test/xmas.c by adding a time-delay in blinkit().
2726	+ modify several test programs to reflect that ncurses honors existing
2727	  signal handlers in initscr(), while other implementations do not.
2728	+ modify bs.c to make it easier to quit.
2729	+ change ncurses-examples to use attr_t vs chtype to follow X/Open
2730	  documentation more closely since Solaris xpg4-curses uses different
2731	  values for WA_xxx vs A_xxx that rely on attr_t being an unsigned
2732	  short.  Tru64 aka OSF1, HPUX, AIX did as ncurses does, equating the
2733	  two sets.
2734
273520170923
2736	+ modify menu for test/ncurses.c to fit on 24-line screen.
2737	+ build-fix for configure --with-caps=uwin
2738	+ add options to test_arrays.c, for selecting termcap vs terminfo, etc.
2739
274020170916
2741	+ minor fix to test/filter.c to avoid clearing the command in one case.
2742	+ modify filter() to discard clr_eos if back_color_erase is set.
2743
274420170909
2745	+ improve wide-character implementation of myADDNSTR() in frm_driver.c,
2746	  which was inconsistent with the normal implementation.
2747	+ save/restore cursor position in Undo_Justification(), matching
2748	  behavior of Buffer_To_Window() (report by Leon Winter).
2749	+ modify test/knight to provide the "slow" solution for small screens
2750	  using "R", noting that Warnsdorf's method is easily done with "a".
2751	+ modify several test-programs which call use_default_colors() to
2752	  consistently do this only if "-d" option is given.
2753	+ additional changes to test with non-standard variants of curses:
2754	  + modify a loop limit in firework.c to work around absence of limit
2755	    checks in some libraries.
2756	  + fill the last row of a window with "?" in firstlast if waddch does
2757	    not return ERR on the lower-right corner.
2758	+ add checks in test/configure for some functions not in 4.3BSD curses.
2759	+ fix a regression in test/configure (cf: 20170826).
2760
276120170902
2762	+ amend change for endwin-state for better consistency with the older
2763	  logic (report/patch by Jeb Rosen, cf: 20170722).
2764	+ modify check in fmt_entry() to handle a cancelled reset string
2765	  (Debian #873746).  Make similar fixes in other parts of dump_entry.c
2766	  and tput.c
2767
276820170827
2769	+ fix a bug in repeat_char logic (cf: 20170729, report by Chris Clayton).
2770
277120170826
2772	+ fixes for "iterm2" (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
2773	+ corrected a warning from tic about keys which are the same, to skip
2774	  over missing/cancelled values.
2775	+ add check in tic for unnecessary use of "2" to denote a shifted
2776	  special key.
2777	+ improve checks in trim_sgr0, comp_parse.c and parse_entry.c, for
2778	  cancelled string capabilities.
2779	+ add check in _nc_parse_entry() for invalid entry name, setting the
2780	  name to "invalid" to avoid problems storing entries.
2781	+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
2782	  + add a check in comp_scan.c to handle the special case where a
2783	    nontext file ending with a NUL rather than newline is given to tic
2784	    as input (Redhat #1484274).
2785	  + allow for cancelled capabilities in _nc_save_str (Redhat #1484276).
2786	  + add validity checks for "use=" target in _nc_parse_entry (Redhat
2787	    #1484284).
2788	  + check for invalid strings in postprocess_termcap (Redhat #1484285)
2789	  + reset secondary pointers on EOF in next_char() (Redhat #1484287).
2790	  + guard _nc_safe_strcpy() and _nc_safe_strcat() against calls using
2791	    cancelled strings (Redhat #1484291).
2792	+ correct typo in curs_memleaks.3x (Sven Joachim).
2793	+ improve test/configure checks for some curses variants not based on
2794	  X/Open Curses.
2795	+ add options for test/configure to disable checks for form, menu and
2796	  panel libraries.
2797
279820170819
2799	+ update "iterm" entry -TD
2800	+ add "iterm2" entry (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
2801	+ regenerate llib-* files.
2802	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
2803	+ improve picsmap test-program:
2804	  + reduce memory used for tsearch
2805	  + add report in log file showing cumulative color coverage.
2806	+ add -x option to clear/tput to make the E3 extension optional
2807	  (cf: 20130622).
2808	+ add options -T and -V to clear command for compatibility with tput.
2809	+ add usage message to clear command (Debian #371855).
2810	+ improve usage messages for tset and tput.
2811	+ minor fixes to "RGB" extension and reset_color_pairs().
2812
281320170812
2814	+ improve description of -R option in infocmp manual page (report by
2815	  Stephane Chazelas).
2816	+ add reset_color_pairs() function.
2817	+ add user_caps.5 manual page to document the terminfo extensions used
2818	  by ncurses.
2819	+ improve build scripts, using SIGQUIT vs SIGTRAP; add other configure
2820	  script fixes from work on xterm, lynx and tack.
2821	+ modify install-rule for ncurses-examples to put the data files in
2822	  /usr/share/ncurses-examples
2823	+ improve tracemunch, by changing address-parameters of add_wch(),
2824	  color_content() and pair_content() to dummy parameters.
2825	+ minor optimization to _nc_change_pair, to return quickly when the
2826	  current screen is marked for clearing.
2827	+ in-progress changes to improve performance of test/picsmap.c for
2828	  loading image files.
2829	+ modify allocation for SCREEN's color-pair table to start small, grow
2830	  on demand up to the existing limit.
2831	+ add "RGB" extension capability for direct-color support, use this to
2832	  improve color_content().
2833	+ improve picsmap test-program:
2834	  + if no palette file is needed, attempt to load one based on $TERM,
2835	    checking first in the current directory, then by adding ".dat"
2836	    suffix, and finally in the data-directory, e.g.,
2837	    /usr/share/ncurses-examples
2838	  + add "-l" option for logging
2839	  + add "-d" option for debugging
2840	  + add "-s" option for stepping automatically through list of images,
2841	    with time delay.
2842	  + use tsearch to improve time for loading color table for images.
2843	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2844		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
2845
284620170729
2847	+ update interix entry using tack and SFU on Windows 7 Ultimate -TD
2848	+ use ^? for kdch1 in interix (reported by Jonathan de Boyne Pollard)
2849	+ add "rep" to xterm-new, available since 1997/01/26 -TD
2850	+ move SGR 24 and 27 from vte-2014 to vte-2012 (request by Alain
2851	  Williams) -TD
2852	+ add a check in newline_forces_scroll() in case a program moves the
2853	  cursor outside scrolling margins (report by Robert King).
2854	+ improve _nc_tparm_analyze, using that to extend the checks made by
2855	  tic for reporting inconsistencies between the expected number of
2856	  parameters for a capability and the actual.
2857	+ amend handling of repeat_char capability in EmitRange (adapted from
2858	  report/patch by Dick Wesseling):
2859	  + translate the character to the alternate character set when the
2860	    alternate character set is enabled.
2861	  + do not use repeat_char for characters past 255.
2862	+ document "_nc_free_tinfo" in manual page, because it could be used in
2863	  tack for memory-leak checking.
2864	+ add "--without-tack" configure option to refine "--with-progs"
2865	  configure option.  Normally tack is no longer built in-tree, but
2866	  a few packagers combine it during the build.  If term_entry.h is
2867	  installed, there is no advantage to in-tree builds.
2868	+ adjust configure-script to define HAVE_CURSES_DATA_BOOLNAMES symbol
2869	  needed for tack 1.08 when built in-tree.  Rather than relying upon
2870	  internal "_nc_" functions, tack now uses the boolean, number and
2871	  string capability name-arrays provided by ncurses and SVr4 Unix
2872	  curses.  It still uses term_entry.h for the definitions of the
2873	  extended capability arrays.
2874	+ add an overlooked null-pointer check in mvcur changes from 20170722
2875
287620170722
2877	+ improve test-packages for ncurses-examples and AdaCurses for lintian
2878	+ modify logic for endwin-state to be able to detect the case where
2879	  the screen was never initialized, using that to trigger a flush of
2880	  ncurses' buffer for mvcur, e.g., in test/dots_mvcur.c for the
2881	  term-driver configuration.
2882	+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to a few other internal header
2883	  files to allow each to be compiled separately.
2884	+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to tic's header-files; any program
2885	  using tic-library will have to supply this file.  Legacy tack
2886	  versions supply this file; ongoing tack development has dropped the
2887	  dependency upon tic-library and new releases will not be affected.
2888
288920170715
2890	+ modify command-line parameters for "convert" used in picsmap to work
2891	  with ImageMagick 6.8 and newer.
2892	+ fix build-problem with tack and ABI-5 (Debian #868328).
2893	+ repair termcap-format from tic/infocmp broken in 20170701 fixes
2894	  (Debian #868266).
2895	+ reformat terminfo.src with 20170513 updates.
2896	+ improve test-packages to address lintian warnings.
2897
289820170708
2899	+ add a note to tic manual page about -W versus -f options.
2900	+ correct a limit-check in fixes from 20170701 (report by Sven Joachim).
2901
290220170701
2903	+ modify update_getenv() in db_iterator.c to ensure that environment
2904	  variables which are not initially set will be checked later if an
2905	  application happens to set them (patch by Guillaume Maudoux).
2906	+ remove initialization-check for calling napms() in the term-driver
2907	  configuration; none is needed.
2908	+ add help-screen to test/test_getstr.c and test/test_get_wstr.c
2909	+ improve compatibility between different configurations of new_prescr,
2910	  fixing a case with threaded code and term-driver where c++/demo did
2911	  not work (cf: 20160213).
2912	+ the fixes for Redhat #1464685 obscured a problem subsequently
2913	  reported in Redhat #1464687; the given test-case was no longer
2914	  reproducible.  Testing without the fixes for the earlier reports
2915	  showed a problem with buffer overflow in dump_entry.c, which is
2916	  addressed by reducing the use of a fixed-size buffer.
2917	+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
2918	  (Redhat #1464684, #1464685, #1464686, #1464691).
2919	  + alloc_entry.c, add a check for a null-pointer.
2920	  + parse_entry.c, add several checks for valid pointers as well as
2921	    one check to ensure that a single character on a line is not
2922	    treated as the 2-character termcap short-name.
2923	+ fix a memory leak in delscreen() (report by Bai Junq).
2924	+ improve tracemunch, showing thread identifiers as names.
2925	+ fix a use-after-free in NCursesMenu::~NCursesMenu()
2926	+ further amend incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
2927	  (report by Allen Hewes).
2928
292920170624
2930	+ modify c++/etip.h.in to accommodate deprecation of throw() and
2931	  throws() in c++17 (prompted by patch by Romain Geissler).
2932	+ remove some incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
2933	  (report by Allen Hewes).
2934	+ add test-programs for termattrs and term_attrs.
2935	+ modify _nc_outc_wrapper to use the standard output if the screen was
2936	  not initialized, rather than returning an error.
2937	+ improve checks for low-level terminfo functions when the terminal
2938	  has not been initialized (Redhat #1345963).
2939	+ modify make_hash to allow building with address-sanitizer,
2940	  assuming that --disable-leaks is configured.
2941	+ amend changes for number_format() in 20170506 to avoid undefined
2942	  behavior when shifting (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
2943
294420170617
2945	+ fill in some places where TERMTYPE2 vs TERMTYPE was not used
2946	  (report by Allen Hewes).
2947	+ use ExitTerminfo() internally in error-exits for ncurses' setupterm
2948	  to help with leak checking.
2949	+ use ExitProgram() in error-exit from initscr() to help with leak
2950	  checking.
2951	+ review test-programs, adding checks for cases where the terminal
2952	  cannot be initialized.
2953
295420170610
2955	+ add option "-xp" to picsmap.c, to use init_extended_pair().
2956	+ make simple performance fixes for picsmap.c
2957	+ improve aspect ratio of images read from "convert" in picsmap.c
2958
295920170603
2960	+ add option to picsmap to use color-palette files, e.g., for mapping
2961	  to xterm-256color.
2962	+ move the data in SCREEN used for the alloc_pair() function to the
2963	  end, to restore compatibility between ncurses/ncursesw libtinfo
2964	  (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
2965	+ add build-time utility "report_offsets" to help show when the various
2966	  configurations of tinfo library are compatible or not.
2967
296820170527
2969	+ improved test/picsmap.c:
2970	  + lookup named colors for xpm files in rgb.txt
2971	  + accept blanks in color-keys for xpm files.
2972	  + if neither xbm/xpm work, try "convert", which may be available.
2973
297420170520
2975	+ modify test/picsmap.c to read xpm files.
2976	+ modify package/debian/* to create documentation packages, so the
2977	  related files can be checked with lintian.
2978	+ fix some typos in manpages (report/patch by Sven Joachim).
2979
298020170513
2981	+ add test/picsmap.c to fill in some testing issues not met by dots.
2982	  The initial version reads X bitmap (".xbm") files.
2983	+ repair logic which forces a repaint where a color-pair's content is
2984	  changed (cf: 20170311).
2985	+ improve tracemunch, showing screenXX pointers as names.
2986
298720170506
2988	+ modify tic/infocmp display of numeric values to use hexadecimal when
2989	  they are "close" to a power of two, making the result more readable.
2990	+ improve discussion of portability in curs_mouse.3x
2991	+ change line-length for generated html/manpages to 78 columns from 65.
2992	+ improve discussion of line-drawing characters in curs_add_wch.3x
2993	  (prompted by discussion with Lorinczy Zsigmond).
2994	+ cleanup formatting of hackguide.html and ncurses-intro.html
2995	+ add examples for WACS_D_PLUS and WACS_T_PLUS to test/ncurses.c
2996
299720170429
2998	+ corrected a case where $with_gpm was set to "maybe" after CF_WITH_GPM,
2999	  overlooked in 20160528 fixes (report by Alexandre Bury).
3000	+ improve a couple of test-program's help-messages.
3001	+ corrected loop in rain.c from 20170415 changes.
3002	+ modify winnstr and winchnstr to return error if the output pointer is
3003	  null, as well as adding a null pointer check of the window pointer
3004	  for better compatibility with other implementations.
3005	+ improve discussion of NetBSD curses in scr_dump.5
3006	+ modify LIMIT_TYPED macro in new_pair.h to avoid changing sign of the
3007	  value to be limited (reports by Darby Payne, Rob Boudreau).
3008	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
3009		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
3010
301120170422
3012	+ build-fix for termcap-configuration (report by Chi-Hsuan Yen).
3013	+ improve terminfo manual page discussion of control- and graphics-
3014	  characters.
3015	+ remove tic warning about "^?" in string capabilities, which was
3016	  marked as an extension (cf: 20000610, 20110820); however all Unix
3017	  implementations support this and X/Open Curses does not address it.
3018	  On the other hand, termcap never did support this feature.
3019	+ correct missing comma-separator between string capabilities in
3020	  icl6402 and m2-nam -TD
3021	+ restore rmir/smir in ansi+idc to better match original ansiterm+idc,
3022	  add alias ansiterm (report by Robert King).
3023	+ amend an old check for ambiguous use of "ma" in terminfo versus
3024	  a termcap use, if the capability is cancelled to treat it as number.
3025	+ correct a case in _nc_captoinfo() which read "%%" and emitted "%".
3026	+ modify sscanf calls in _nc_infotocap() for patterns "%{number}%+%c"
3027	  and "%'char'%+%c" to check that the final character is really 'c',
3028	  avoiding a case in icl6404 which cannot be converted to termcap.
3029	+ in _nc_infotocap(), add a check to ensure that terminfo "^?" is not
3030	  written to termcap, because the BSDs did not implement that.
3031	+ in _nc_tic_expand() and _nc_infotocap(), improve string-length check
3032	  when deciding whether to use "^X" or "\xxx" format for control
3033	  characters, to make the output of tic/infocmp more predictable.
3034	+ limit termcap "%d" width to 2 digits on input, and use "%2" in
3035	  preference to "%02" on output.
3036	+ correct terminfo/termcap conversion of "%02" and "%03" into "%2" and
3037	  "%3"; the result repeated the last character.
3038	+ add man/scr_dump.5 to document screen-dump format.
3039
304020170415
3041	+ modify several test programs to use new popup_msgs, adapted from
3042	  help-screen used in test/edit_field.c
3043	+ drop two symbols obsoleted in 2004: _nc_check_termtype, and
3044	  _nc_resolve_uses
3045	+ fix some old copyright dates (cf: 20031025).
3046	+ build-fixes for test/savescreen.c to work with AIX and HPUX.
3047	+ minor fix to configure script, adding a backslash/continuation.
3048	+ extend TERMINAL structure for ABI 6 to store numbers internally as
3049	  integers rather than short, by adding new data for this purpose.
3050	+ more fixes for minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
3051
305220170408
3053	+ change logic in wins_nwstr() to avoid addressing data past the output
3054	  of mbstowcs().
3055	+ correct a call to setcchar() in Data_Entry_w() from 20131207 changes.
3056	+ fix minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
3057	+ further improve ifdef in term_entry.h for internal definitions not
3058	  used by tack.
3059
306020170401
3061	+ minor fixes for vt100+4bsd, e.g., delay in sgr for consistency -TD
3062	+ add smso for env230, to match sgr -TD
3063	+ remove p7/protect from sgr in fbterm -TD
3064	+ drop setf/setb from fbterm; setaf/setab are enough -TD
3065	+ make xterm-pcolor sgr consistent with other capabilities -TD
3066	+ add rmxx/smxx ECMA-48 strikeout extension to tmux and xterm-basic
3067	  (discussion with Nicholas Marriott)
3068	+ add test-programs sp_tinfo and extended_color
3069	+ modify no-leaks code for lib_cur_term.c to account for the tgetent()
3070	  cache.
3071	+ modify setupterm() to save original tty-modes so that erasechar()
3072	  works as expected.  Also modify _nc_setupscreen() to avoid redundant
3073	  calls to get original tty-modes.
3074	+ modify set_curterm() to update ttytype[] data used by longname().
3075	+ modify wattr_set() and wattr_get() to return ERR if win-parameter is
3076	  null, as documented.
3077	+ improve cast used for null-pointer checks in header macros, to
3078	  reduce compiler warnings.
3079	+ modify several functions, using the reserved "opts" parameter to pass
3080	  color- and pair-values larger than 16-bits:
3081	  + getcchar(), setcchar(), slk_attr_set(), vid_puts(), wattr_get(),
3082	    wattr_set(), wchgat(), wcolor_set().
3083	  + Other functions call these with the corresponding altered behavior,
3084	    including chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat(), slk_color_on(),
3085	    slk_color_off(), vid_attr().
3086	+ add new functions for manipulating color- and pair-values larger
3087	  than 16-bits.  These are extended_color_content(),
3088	  extended_pair_content(), extended_slk_color(), init_extended_color(),
3089	  init_extended_pair(), and the corresponding sp-funcs.
3090
309120170325
3092	+ fix a memory leak in the window-list when creating multiple screens
3093	  (reports by Andres Martinelli, Debian #783486).
3094	+ reviewed calls from link_test.c, added a few more null-pointer
3095	  checks.
3096	+ add a null-pointer check in ungetmouse, in case mousemask was not
3097	  called (report by "Kau").
3098	+ updated curs_sp_funcs.3x for new functions.
3099
310020170318
3101	+ change TERMINAL structure in term.h to make it opaque.  Some
3102	  applications misuse its members, e.g., directly modifying it
3103	  rather than using def_prog_mode().
3104	+ modify utility headers such as tic.h to make it clearer which are
3105	  externals that are used by tack.
3106	+ improve curs_slk.3x in particular its discussion of portability.
3107	+ fix cut/paste in legacy_encoding.3x
3108	+ add prototype for find_pair() to new_pair.3x (report by Branden
3109	  Robinson).
3110	+ fix a couple of broken links in generated man-html documentation.
3111	+ regenerate man-html documentation.
3112
311320170311
3114	+ modify vt100 rs2 string to reset vt52 mode and scrolling regions
3115	  (report/analysis by Robert King) -TD
3116	+ add vt100+4bsd building block, use that for older terminals rather
3117	  than "vt100" which is now mostly used as a building block for
3118	  terminal emulators -TD
3119	+ correct a few spelling errors in terminfo.src comments -TD
3120	+ add fbterm -TD
3121	+ fix a typo in ncurses.c test_attr legend (patch by Petr Vanek).
3122	+ changed internal colorpair_t to a struct, eliminating an internal
3123	  8-bit limit on colors
3124	+ add ncurses/new_pair.h
3125	+ add ncurses/base/new_pair.c with alloc_pair(), find_pair() and
3126	  free_pair() functions
3127	+ add test/demo_new_pair.c
3128
312920170304
3130	+ improve terminfo manual description of terminfo syntax.
3131	+ clarify the use of wint_t vs wchar_t in curs_get_wstr.3x
3132	+ improve description of endwin() in manual.
3133	+ modify setcchar() and getcchar() to treat negative color-pair as an
3134	  error.
3135	+ fix a typo in include/hashed_db.h (Andre Sa).
3136
313720170225
3138	+ fixes for CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS (report by Ross Burton).
3139
314020170218
3141	+ fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
3142	+ correct read of terminfo entry in which all strings are absent or
3143	  explicitly cancelled.  Before this fix, the result was that all were
3144	  treated as only absent.
3145	+ modify infocmp to suppress mixture of absent/cancelled capabilities
3146	  that would only show as "NULL, NULL", unless the -q option is used,
3147	  e.g., to show "-, @" or "@, -".
3148
314920170212
3150	+ build-fixes for PGI compilers (report by Adam J. Stewart)
3151	  + accept whitespace in sed expression for generating expanded.c
3152	  + modify configure check that g++ compiler warnings are not used.
3153	  + add configure check for -fPIC option needed for shared libraries.
3154	+ let configure --disable-ext-funcs override the default for the
3155	  --enable-sp-funcs option.
3156	+ mark some structs in form/menu/panel libraries as potentially opaque
3157	  without modifying API/ABI.
3158	+ add configure option --enable-opaque-curses for ncurses library and
3159	  similar options for the other libraries.
3160
316120170204
3162	+ trim newlines, tabs and escaped newlines from terminfo "paths" passed
3163	  to db-iterator.
3164	+ ignore zero-length files in db-iterator; these are useful for
3165	  instance to suppress "$HOME/.terminfo" when not wanted.
3166	+ amended "b64:" encoder to work with the terminfo reader.
3167	+ modify terminfo reader to accept "b64:" format using RFC-3548 in
3168	  as well as RFC-4648 url/filename-safe format.
3169	+ modify terminfo reader to accept "hex:" format as generated by
3170	  "infocmp -0qQ1" (cf: 20150905).
3171	+ adjust authors comment to reflect drop below 1% for SV.
3172
317320170128
3174	+ minor comment-fixes to help automate links to bug-urls -TD
3175	+ add dvtm, dvtm-256color -TD
3176	+ add settings corresponding to xterm-keys option to tmux entry to
3177	  reflect upcoming change to make that option "on" by default
3178	  (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
3179	+ uncancel Ms in tmux entry (Harry Gindi, Nicholas Marriott).
3180	+ add dumb-emacs-ansi -TD
3181
318220170121
3183	+ improve discussion of early history of tput program.
3184	+ incorporate A_COLOR mask into COLOR_PAIR(), in case user application
3185	  provides an out-of-range pair number (report by Elijah Stone).
3186	+ clarify description in tput manual page regarding support for
3187	  termcap names (prompted by FreeBSD #214709).
3188	+ remove a restriction in tput's support for termcap names which
3189	  omitted capabilities normally not shown in termcap translations
3190	  (cf: 990123).
3191	+ modify configure script for clang as used on FreeBSD, to work around
3192	  clang's differences in exit codes vs gcc.
3193
319420170114
3195	+ improve discussion of early history of tset/reset programs.
3196	+ clarify in manual pages that the optional verbose option level is
3197	  available only when ncurses is configured for tracing.
3198	+ amend change from 20161231 to avoid writing traces to the standard
3199	  error after initializing the trace feature using the environment
3200	  variable.
3201
320220170107
3203	+ amend changes for tput to reset tty modes to "sane" if the program
3204	  is run as "reset", like tset.  Likewise, ensure that tset sends
3205	  either reset- or init-strings.
3206	+ improve manual page descriptions of tput init/reset and tset/reset,
3207	  to make it easier to see how they are similar and different.
3208	+ move a static result from key_name() to _nc_globals
3209	+ modify _nc_get_screensize to allow for use_env() and use_tioctl()
3210	  state to be per-screen when sp-funcs are configured, better matching
3211	  the behavior when using the term-driver configuration.
3212	+ improve cross-references in manual pages for often used functions
3213	+ move SCREEN field for use_tioctl() data before the ncursesw fields,
3214	  and limit that to the sp-funcs configuration to improve termlib
3215	  compatibility (cf:  20120714).
3216	+ correct order of initialization for traces in use_env() and
3217	  use_tioctl() versus first trace calls.
3218
321920161231
3220	+ fix errata for ncurses-howto (report by Damien Ruscoe).
3221	+ fix a few places in configure/build scripts where DESTDIR and rpath
3222	  were combined (report by Thomas Klausner).
3223	+ merge current st description (report by Harry Gindi) -TD
3224	+ modify flash capability for linux and wyse entries to put the delay
3225	  between the reverse/normal escapes rather than after -TD
3226	+ modify program tabs to pass the actual tty file descriptor to
3227	  setupterm rather than the standard output, making padding work
3228	  consistently.
3229	+ explain in clear's manual page that it writes to stdout.
3230	+ add special case for verbose debugging traces of command-line
3231	  utilities which write to stderr (cf: 20161126).
3232	+ remove a trace with literal escapes from skip_DECSCNM(), added in
3233	  20161203.
3234	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
3235		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
3236
323720161224
3238	+ correct parameters for copywin call in _nc_Synchronize_Attributes()
3239	  (patch by Leon Winter).
3240	+ improve color-handling section in terminfo manual page (prompted by
3241	  patch by Mihail Konev).
3242	+ modify programs clear, tput and tset to pass the actual tty file
3243	  descriptor to setupterm rather than the standard output, making
3244	  padding work.
3245
324620161217
3247	+ add tput-colorcube demo script.
3248	+ add -r and -s options to tput-initc demo, to match usage in xterm.
3249	+ flush the standard output in _nc_flush for the case where SP is zero,
3250	  e.g., when called via putp.  This fixes a scenario where "tput flash"
3251	  did not work after changes in 20130112.
3252
325320161210
3254	+ add configure script option --disable-wattr-macros for use in cases
3255	  where one wants to use the same headers for ncurses5/ncurses6
3256	  development, by suppressing the wattr* macros which differ due to
3257	  the introduction of extended colors (prompted by comments in
3258	  Debian #230990, Redhat #1270534).
3259	+ add test/tput-initc to demonstrate tput used to initialize palette
3260	  from a data file.
3261	+ modify test/xterm*.dat to use the newer color4/color12 values.
3262
326320161203
3264	+ improve discussion of field validation in form_driver.3x manual page.
3265	+ update curs_trace.3x manual page.
3266
326720161126
3268	+ modify linux-16color to not mask dim, standout or reverse with the
3269	  ncv capability -TD
3270	+ add 0.1sec mandatory delay to flash capabilities using the VT100
3271	  reverse-video control -TD
3272	+ omit selection of ISO-8859-1 for G0 in enacs capability from linux2.6
3273	  entry, to avoid conflict with the user-defined mapping.  The reset
3274	  feature will use ISO-8859-1 in any case (Mikulas Patocka).
3275	+ improve check in tic for delays by also warning about beep/flash
3276	  when a delay is not embedded, or if those use the VT100 reverse
3277	  video escape without using a delay.
3278	+ minor fix for syntax-check of delays from 20161119 changes.
3279	+ modify trace() to avoid overwriting existing file (report by Maor
3280	  Shwartz).
3281
328220161119
3283	+ add check in tic for some syntax errors of delays, as well as use of
3284	  proportional delays for non-line capabilities.
3285	+ document history of the clear program and the E3 extension, prompted
3286	  by various discussions including
3287	  http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/87469/clearing-the-old-scrollback-buffer
3288
328920161112
3290	+ improve -W option in tic/infocmp:
3291	  + correct order of size-adjustments in wrapped lines
3292	  + if -f option splits line, do not further split it with -W
3293	  + begin a new line when adding "use=" after a wrapped line
3294
329520161105
3296	+ fix typo in man/terminfo.tail (Alain Williams).
3297	+ correct program-name in adacurses6-config.1 manual page.
3298
329920161029
3300	+ add new function "unfocus_current_field" (Leon Winter)
3301
330220161022
3303	+ modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the
3304	  screensize if it was already set in the system, to improve tabstop
3305	  setting which relies upon knowing the actual screensize.
3306	+ add functionality of tset -w to tput, like the "-c" feature this is
3307	  not optional in tput.
3308	+ add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput.
3309	+ improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow
3310	  for transformed names.
3311	+ split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with
3312	  tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.
3313
331420161015
3315	+ amend internal use of tputs to consistently use the number of lines
3316	  affected, e.g., for insert/delete character operations.  While
3317	  merging terminfo source early in 1995, several descriptions used the
3318	  "*" proportional delay for these operations, prompting a change in
3319	  doupdate.
3320	+ regenerate llib-* files.
3321	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
3322	+ fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
3323
332420161008
3325	+ adjust size in infocmp/tic to work with strlcpy.
3326	+ fix configure script to record when strlcat is found on OpenBSD.
3327	+ build-fix for "recent" OpenBSD vs baudrate.
3328
332920161001
3330	+ add -W option to tic/infocmp to force long strings to wrap.  This is
3331	  in addition to the -w option which attempts to fit capabilities into
3332	  a given line-length.
3333	+ add linux-m1 minitel entries (patch by Alexandre Montaron).
3334	+ correct rs2 string for vt100-nam -TD
3335
333620160924
3337	+ modify _nc_tic_expand to escape comma if it immediately follows a
3338	  percent sign, to work with minitel change.
3339	+ updated minitel and viewdata descriptions (Alexandre Montaron).
3340
334120160917
3342	+ build-fix for gnat6, which unhelpfully attempts to compile C files.
3343	+ fix typo in 20160910 changes (Debian #837892, patch by Sven Joachim).
3344
334520160910
3346	+ trim dead code ifdef'd with HIDE_EINTR since 970830 (discussion with
3347	  Leon Winter).
3348	+ trim some obsolete/incorrect wording about EINTR from wgetch manual
3349	  page (patch by Leon Winter).
3350	+ really correct 20100515 change (patch by Rich Coe).
3351	+ add "--enable-string-hacks" option to test/configure
3352	+ completed string-hacks for "sprintf", etc., including test-programs.
3353	+ make "--enable-string-hacks" work with Debian by checking for the
3354	  "bsd" library and its associated "<bsd/string.h>" header.
3355
335620160903
3357	+ correct 20100515 change for weak signals versus sigprocmask (report
3358	  by Rich Coe).
3359	+ modify misc/Makefile.in to work around OpenBSD "make" which unlike
3360	  all other versions of "make" does not recognize continuation lines
3361	  of comments.
3362	+ amend the last change to CF_C_ENV_FLAGS to move only the
3363	  preprocessor, optimization and warning flags to CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS,
3364	  leaving the residue in CC.  That happens to work for gcc's various
3365	  "model" options, but may require tuning for other compilers (report
3366	  by Sven Joachim).
3367
336820160827
3369	+ add "v" menu entry to test/ncurses.c to show baudrate and other
3370	  values.
3371	+ add "newer" baudrate symbols from Linux and FreeBSD to progs/tset.c,
3372	  lib_baudrate.c
3373	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro:
3374	  + add "uclinux" to case for "linux" (patch by Yann E. Morin)
3375	  + modify _GNU_SOURCE for cygwin headers, tested with cygwin 2.3, 2.5
3376	    (patch by Corinna Vinschen, from changes to tin).
3377	+ improve CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS macro to allow for compiler wrappers such
3378	  as "ccache" (report by Enrico Scholz).
3379	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
3380		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
3381
338220160820
3383	+ update tput manual page to reflect changes to manipulate terminal
3384	  modes by sharing functions with tset.
3385	+ add the terminal-mode parts of "reset" (aka tset) to the "tput reset"
3386	  command, making the two almost the same except for window-size.
3387	+ adapt logic used in dialog "--keep-tite" option for test/filter.c as
3388	  "-a" option.  When set, test/filter attempts to suppress the
3389	  alternate screen.
3390	+ correct a typo in interix entry -TD
3391
339220160813
3393	+ add a dependency upon generated-sources in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to
3394	  handle a case of "configure && make install".
3395	+ trim trailing blanks from include/Caps*, to work around a problem
3396	  in sed (Debian #818067).
3397
339820160806
3399	+ improve CF_GNU_SOURCE configure macro to optionally define
3400	  _DEFAULT_SOURCE work around a nuisance in recent glibc releases.
3401	+ move the terminfo-specific parts of tput's "reset" function into
3402	  the shared reset_cmd.c, making the two forms of reset use the same
3403	  strings.
3404	+ split-out the terminal initialization functions from tset as
3405	  progs/reset_cmd.c, as part of changes to merge the reset-feature
3406	  with tput.
3407
340820160730
3409	+ change tset's initialization to allow it to get settings from the
3410	  standard input as well as /dev/tty, to be more effective when
3411	  output or error are redirected.
3412	+ improve discussion of history and portability for tset/reset/tput
3413	  manual pages.
3414
341520160723
3416	+ improve error message from tset/reset when both stderr/stdout are
3417	  redirected to a file or pipe.
3418	+ improve organization of curs_attr.3x, curs_color.3x
3419
342020160709
3421	+ work around Debian's antique/unmaintained version of mawk when
3422	  building link_test.
3423	+ improve test/list_keys.c, showing ncurses's convention of modifiers
3424	  for special keys, based on xterm.
3425
342620160702
3427	+ improve test/list_keys.c, using $TERM if no parameters are given.
3428
342920160625
3430	+ build-fixes for ncurses "test_progs" rule.
3431	+ amend change to CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS in 20160521 to make multilib build
3432	  work (report by Sven Joachim).
3433
343420160618
3435	+ build-fixes for ncurses-examples with NetBSD curses.
3436	+ improve test/list_keys.c, fixing column-widths and sorting the list
3437	  to make it more readable.
3438
343920160611
3440	+ revise fix for Debian #805618 (report by Vlado Potisk, cf: 20151128).
3441	+ modify test/ncurses.c a/A screens to make exiting on an escape
3442	  character depend on the start of keypad and timeout modes, to allow
3443	  better testing of function-keys.
3444	+ modify rs1 for xterm-16color, xterm-88color and xterm-256color to
3445	  reset palette using "oc" string as in linux -TD
3446	+ use ANSI reply for u8 in xterm-new, to reflect vt220-style responses
3447	  that could be returned -TD
3448	+ added a few capabilities fixed in recent vte -TD
3449
345020160604
3451	+ correct logic for -f option in test/demo_terminfo.c
3452	+ add test/list_keys.c
3453
345420160528
3455	+ further workaround for PIE/PIC breakage which causes gpm to not link.
3456	+ fix most cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses library.
3457
345820160521
3459	+ improved manual page description of tset/reset versus window-size.
3460	+ fixes to work with a slightly broken compiler configuration which
3461	  cannot compile "Hello World!" without adding compiler options
3462	  (report by Ola x Nilsson):
3463	  + pass appropriate compiler options to the CF_PROG_CC_C_O macro.
3464	  + when separating compiler and options in CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS, ensure
3465	    that all options are split-off into CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS
3466	  + restore some -I options removed in 20140726 because they appeared
3467	    to be redundant.  In fact, they are needed for a compiler that
3468	    cannot combine -c and -o options.
3469
347020160514
3471	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
3472	+ improve manual pages for wgetch and wget_wch to point out that they
3473	  might return values without names in curses.h (Debian #822426).
3474	+ make linux3.0 entry the default linux entry (Debian #823658) -TD
3475	+ modify linux2.6 entry to improve line-drawing so that the linux3.0
3476	  entry can be used in non-UTF-8 mode -TD
3477	+ document return value of use_extended_names (report by Mike Gran).
3478
347920160507
3480	+ amend change to _nc_do_color to restore the early return for the
3481	  special case used in _nc_screen_wrap (report by Dick Streefland,
3482	  cf: 20151017).
3483	+ modify test/ncurses.c:
3484	  + check return-value of putwin
3485	  + correct ifdef which made the 'g' test's legend not reflect changes
3486	    to keypad- and scroll-modes.
3487	+ correct return-value of extended putwin (report by Mike Gran).
3488
348920160423
3490	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'd' edit-color menu to optionally read xterm
3491	  color palette directly from terminal, as well as handling KEY_RESIZE
3492	  and screen-repainting with control/L and control/R.
3493	+ add 'oc' capability to xterm+256color, allowing palette reset for
3494	  xterm -TD
3495
349620160416
3497	+ add workaround in configure script for inept transition to PIE vs
3498	  PIC builds documented in
3499		  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Harden_All_Packages
3500	+ add "reset" to list of programs whose names might change in manpages
3501	  due to program-transformation configure options.
3502	+ drop long-obsolete "-n" option from tset.
3503
350420160409
3505	+ modify test/blue.c to use Unicode values for card-glyphs when
3506	  available, as well as improving the check for CP437 and CP850.
3507
350820160402
3509	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
3510	+ improve manual pages for utilities with respect to POSIX versus
3511	  X/Open Curses.
3512
351320160326
3514	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
3515	+ improve test/demo_menus.c, allowing mouse-click on the menu-headers
3516	  to switch the active menu.  This requires a new extension option
3517	  O_MOUSE_MENU to tell the menu driver to put mouse events which do not
3518	  apply to the active menu back into the queue so that the application
3519	  can handle the event.
3520
352120160319
3522	+ improve description of tgoto parameters (report by Steffen Nurpmeso).
3523	+ amend workaround for Solaris line-drawing to restore a special case
3524	  that maps Unicode line-drawing characters into the acsc string for
3525	  non-Unicode locales (Debian #816888).
3526
352720160312
3528	+ modified test/filter.c to illustrate an alternative to getnstr, that
3529	  polls for input while updating a clock on the right margin as well
3530	  as responding to window size-changes.
3531
353220160305
3533	+ omit a redefinition of "inline" when traces are enabled, since this
3534	  does not work with gcc 5.3.x MinGW cross-compiling (cf: 20150912).
3535
353620160220
3537	+ modify test/configure script to check for pthread dependency of
3538	  ncursest or ncursestw library when building ncurses examples, e.g.,
3539	  in case weak symbols are used.
3540	+ modify configure macro for shared-library rules to use -Wl,-rpath
3541	  rather than -rpath to work around a bug in scons (FreeBSD #178732,
3542	  cf: 20061021).
3543	+ double-width multibyte characters were not counted properly in
3544	  winsnstr and wins_nwstr (report/example by Eric Pruitt).
3545	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
3546		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
3547
354820160213
3549	+ amend fix for _nc_ripoffline from 20091031 to make test/ditto.c work
3550	  in threaded configuration.
3551	+ move _nc_tracebits, _tracedump and _tracemouse to curses.priv.h,
3552	  since they are not part of the suggested ABI6.
3553
355420160206
3555	+ define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN for MinGW port, making builds faster.
3556	+ modify test/ditto.c to allow $XTERM_PROG environment variable to
3557	  override "xterm" as the name of the program to run in the threaded
3558	  configuration.
3559
356020160130
3561	+ improve formatting of man/curs_refresh.3x and man/tset.1 manpages
3562	+ regenerate HTML manpages using newer man2html to eliminate some
3563	  unwanted blank lines.
3564
356520160123
3566	+ ifdef'd header-file definition of mouse_trafo() with NCURSES_NOMACROS
3567	  (report by Corey Minyard).
3568	+ fix some strict compiler-warnings in traces.
3569
357020160116
3571	+ tidy up comments about hardcoded 256color palette (report by
3572	  Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
3573	+ add putty-noapp entry, and amend putty entry to use application mode
3574	  for better consistency with xterm (report by Leonardo Brondani
3575	  Schenkel) -TD
3576	+ modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to trace wide-characters
3577	  as a whole rather than their multibyte equivalents.
3578	+ minor fix in wadd_wchnstr() to ensure that each cell has nonzero
3579	  width.
3580	+ move PUTC_INIT calls next to wcrtomb calls, to avoid carry-over of
3581	  error status when processing Unicode values which are not mapped.
3582
358320160102
3584	+ modify ncurses c/C color test-screens to take advantage of wide
3585	  screens, reducing the number of lines used for 88- and 256-colors.
3586	+ minor refinement to check versus ncv to ignore two parameters of
3587	  SGR 38 and 48 when those come from color-capabilities.
3588
358920151226
3590	+ add check in tic for use of bold, etc., video attributes in the
3591	  color capabilities, accounting whether the feature is listed in ncv.
3592	+ add check in tic for conflict between ritm, rmso, rmul versus sgr0.
3593
359420151219
3595	+ add a paragraph to curs_getch.3x discussing key naming (discussion
3596	  with James Crippen).
3597	+ amend workaround for Solaris vs line-drawing to take the configure
3598	  check into account.
3599	+ add a configure check for wcwidth() versus the ncurses line-drawing
3600	  characters, to use in special-casing systems such as Solaris.
3601
360220151212
3603	+ improve CF_XOPEN_CURSES macro used in test/configure, to define as
3604	  needed NCURSES_WIDECHAR for platforms where _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
3605	  does not work.  Also modified the test program to ensure that if
3606	  building with ncurses, that the cchar_t type is checked, since that
3607	  normally is since 20111030 ifdef'd depending on this test.
3608	+ improve 20121222 workaround for broken acs, letting Solaris "work"
3609	  in spite of its misconfigured wcwidth which marks all of the line
3610	  drawing characters as double-width.
3611
361220151205
3613	+ update form_cursor.3x, form_post.3x, menu_attributes.3x to list
3614	  function names in NAME section (patch by Jason McIntyre).
3615	+ minor fixes to manpage NAME/SYNOPSIS sections to consistently use
3616	  rule that either all functions which are prototyped in SYNOPSIS are
3617	  listed in the NAME section, or the manual-page name is the sole item
3618	  listed in the NAME section.  The latter is used to reduce clutter,
3619	  e.g., for the top-level library manual pages as well as for certain
3620	  feature-pages such as SP-funcs and threading (prompted by patches by
3621	  Jason McIntyre).
3622
362320151128
3624	+ add option to preserve leading whitespace in form fields (patch by
3625	  Leon Winter).
3626	+ add missing assignment in lib_getch.c to make notimeout() work
3627	  (Debian #805618).
3628	+ add 't' toggle for notimeout() function in test/ncurses.c a/A screens
3629	+ add viewdata terminal description (Alexandre Montaron).
3630	+ fix a case in tic/infocmp for formatting capabilities where a
3631	  backslash at the end of a string was mishandled.
3632	+ fix some typos in curs_inopts.3x (Benno Schulenberg).
3633
363420151121
3635	+ fix some inconsistencies in the pccon* entries -TD
3636	+ add bold to pccon+sgr+acs and pccon-base (Tati Chevron).
3637	+ add keys f12-f124 to pccon+keys (Tati Chevron).
3638	+ add test/test_sgr.c program to exercise all combinations of sgr.
3639
364020151107
3641	+ modify tset's assignment to TERM in its output to reflect the name by
3642	  which the terminal description is found, rather than the primary
3643	  name.  That was an unnecessary part from the initial conversion of
3644	  tset from termcap to terminfo.  The termcap program in 4.3BSD did
3645	  this to avoid using the short 2-character name (report by Rich
3646	  Burridge).
3647	+ minor fix to configure script to ensure that rules for resulting.map
3648	  are only generated when needed (cf: 20151101).
3649	+ modify configure script to handle the case where tic-library is
3650	  renamed, but the --with-debug option is used by itself without
3651	  normal or shared libraries (prompted by comment in Debian #803482).
3652
365320151101
3654	+ amend change for pkg-config which allows build of pc-files when no
3655	  valid pkg-config library directory was configured to suppress the
3656	  actual install if it is not overridden to a valid directory at
3657	  install time (cf: 20150822).
3658	+ modify editing script which generates resulting.map to work with the
3659	  clang configuration on recent FreeBSD, which gives an error on an
3660	  empty "local" section.
3661	+ fix a spurious "(Part)" message in test/ncurses.c b/B tests due
3662	  to incorrect attribute-masking.
3663
366420151024
3665	+ modify MKexpanded.sh to update the expansion of a temporary filename
3666	  to "expanded.c", for use in trace statements.
3667	+ modify layout of b/B tests in test/ncurses.c to allow for additional
3668	  annotation on the right margin; some terminals with partial support
3669	  did not display well.
3670	+ fix typo in curs_attr.3x (patch by Sven Joachim).
3671	+ fix typo in INSTALL (patch by Tomas Cech).
3672	+ improve configure check for setting WILDCARD_SYMS variable; on ppc64
3673	  the variable is in the Data section rather than Text (patch by Michel
3674	  Normand, Novell #946048).
3675	+ using configure option "--without-fallbacks" incorrectly caused
3676	  FALLBACK_LIST to be set to "no" (patch by Tomas Cech).
3677	+ updated minitel entries to fix kel problem with emacs, and add
3678	  minitel1b-nb (Alexandre Montaron).
3679	+ reviewed/updated nsterm entry Terminal.app in OSX -TD
3680	+ replace some dead URLs in comments with equivalents from the
3681	  Internet Archive -TD
3682	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
3683		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
3684
368520151017
3686	+ modify ncurses/Makefile.in to sort keys.list in POSIX locale
3687	  (Debian #801864, patch by Esa Peuha).
3688	+ remove an early-return from _nc_do_color, which can interfere with
3689	  data needed by bkgd when ncurses is configured with extended colors
3690	  (patch by Denis Tikhomirov).
3691	> fixes for OS/2 (patches by KO Myung-Hun)
3692	+ use button instead of kbuf[0] in EMX-specific part of lib_mouse.c
3693	+ support building with libtool on OS/2
3694	+ use stdc++ on OS/2 kLIBC
3695	+ clear cf_XOPEN_SOURCE on OS/2
3696
369720151010
3698	+ add configure check for openpty to test/configure script, for ditto.
3699	+ minor fixes to test/view.c in investigating Debian #790847.
3700	+ update autoconf patch to 2.52.20150926, incorporates a fix for Cdk.
3701	+ add workaround for breakage of POSIX makefiles by recent binutils
3702	  change.
3703	+ improve check for working poll() by using posix_openpt() as a
3704	  fallback in case there is no valid terminal on the standard input
3705	  (prompted by discussion on bug-ncurses mailing list, Debian #676461).
3706
370720150926
3708	+ change makefile rule for removing resulting.map to distclean rather
3709	  than clean.
3710	+ add /lib/terminfo to terminfo-dirs in ".deb" test-package.
3711	+ add note on portability of resizeterm and wresize to manual pages.
3712
371320150919
3714	+ clarify in resizeterm.3x how KEY_RESIZE is pushed onto the input
3715	  stream.
3716	+ clarify in curs_getch.3x that the keypad mode affects ability to
3717	  read KEY_MOUSE codes, but does not affect KEY_RESIZE.
3718	+ add overlooked build-fix needed with Cygwin for separate Ada95
3719	  configure script, cf: 20150606 (report by Nicolas Boulenguez)
3720
372120150912
3722	+ fixes for configure/build using clang on OSX (prompted by report by
3723	  William Gallafent).
3724	  + do not redefine "inline" in ncurses_cfg.h; this was originally to
3725	    solve a problem with gcc/g++, but is aggravated by clang's misuse
3726	    of symbols to pretend it is gcc.
3727	  + add braces to configure script to prevent unwanted add of
3728	    "-lstdc++" to the CXXLIBS symbol.
3729	  + improve/update test-program used for checking existence of stdc++
3730	    library.
3731	  + if $CXXLIBS is set, the linkage test uses that in addition to $LIBS
3732
373320150905
3734	+ add note in curs_addch.3x about line-drawing when it depends upon
3735	  UTF-8.
3736	+ add tic -q option for consistency with infocmp, use it to suppress
3737	  all comments from the "tic -I" output.
3738	+ modify infocmp -q option to suppress the "Reconstructed from"
3739	  header.
3740	+ add infocmp/tic -Q option, which allows one to dump the compiled
3741	  form of the terminal entry, in hexadecimal or base64.
3742
374320150822
3744	+ sort options in usage message for infocmp, to make it simpler to
3745	  see unused letters.
3746	+ update usage message for tic, adding "-0" option.
3747	+ documented differences in ESCDELAY versus AIX's implementation.
3748	+ fix some compiler warnings from ports.
3749	+ modify --with-pkg-config-libdir option to make it possible to install
3750	  ".pc" files even if pkg-config is not found (adapted from patch by
3751	  Joshua Root).
3752
375320150815
3754	+ disallow "no" as a possible value for "--with-shlib-version" option,
3755	  overlooked in cleanup-changes for 20000708 (report by Tommy Alex).
3756	+ update release notes in INSTALL.
3757	+ regenerate llib-* files to help with review for release notes.
3758
375920150810
3760	+ workaround for Debian #65617, which was fixed in mawk's upstream
3761	  releases in 2009 (report by Sven Joachim).  See
3762	  	https://invisible-island.net/mawk/CHANGES.html#t20090727
3763

3770	  more than 200 snapshots.
3771	+ minor fixes to manpages, etc., to simplify linking from announcement
3772	  page.
3773
377420150725
3775	+ updated llib-* files.
3776	+ build-fixes for ncurses library "test_progs" rule.
3777	+ use alternate workaround for gcc 5.x feature (adapted from patch by
3778	  Mikhail Peselnik).
3779	+ add status line to tmux via xterm+sl (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
3780	+ fixes for st 0.5 from testing with tack -TD
3781	+ review/improve several manual pages to break up wall-of-text:
3782	  curs_add_wch.3x, curs_attr.3x, curs_bkgd.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x,
3783	  curs_getcchar.3x, curs_getch.3x, curs_kernel.3x, curs_mouse.3x,
3784	  curs_outopts.3x, curs_overlay.3x, curs_pad.3x, curs_termattrs.3x
3785	  curs_trace.3x, and curs_window.3x
3786
378720150719
3788	+ correct an old logic error for %A and %O in tparm (report by "zreed").
3789	+ improve documentation for signal handlers by adding section in the
3790	  curs_initscr.3x page.
3791	+ modify logic in make_keys.c to not assume anything about the size
3792	  of strnames and strfnames variables, since those may be functions
3793	  in the thread- or broken-linker configurations (problem found by
3794	  Coverity).
3795	+ modify test/configure script to check for pthreads configuration,
3796	  e.g., ncursestw library.
3797
379820150711
3799	+ modify scripts to build/use test-packages for the pthreads
3800	  configuration of ncurses6.
3801	+ add references to ttytype and termcap symbols in demo_terminfo.c and
3802	  demo_termcap.c to ensure that when building ncursest.map, etc., that
3803	  the corresponding names such as _nc_ttytype are added to the list of
3804	  versioned symbols (report by Werner Fink)
3805	+ fix regression from 20150704 (report/patch by Werner Fink).
3806
380720150704
3808	+ fix a few problems reported by Coverity.
3809	+ fix comparison against "/usr/include" in misc/gen-pkgconfig.in
3810	  (report by Daiki Ueno, Debian #790548, cf:  20141213).
3811
381220150627
3813	+ modify configure script to remove deprecated ABI 5 symbols when
3814	  building ABI 6.
3815	+ add symbols _nc_Default_Field, _nc_Default_Form, _nc_has_mouse to
3816	  map-files, but marked as deprecated so that they can easily be
3817	  suppressed from ABI 6 builds (Debian #788610).
3818	+ comment-out "screen.xterm" entry, and inherit screen.xterm-256color
3819	  from xterm-new (report by Richard Birkett) -TD
3820	+ modify read_entry.c to set the error-return to -1 if no terminal
3821	  databases were found, as documented for setupterm.
3822	+ add test_setupterm.c to demonstrate normal/error returns from the
3823	  setupterm and restartterm functions.
3824	+ amend cleanup change from 20110813 which removed redundant definition
3825	  of ret_error, etc., from tinfo_driver.c, to account for the fact that
3826	  it should return a bool rather than int (report/analysis by Johannes
3827	  Schindelin).
3828
382920150613
3830	+ fix overflow warning for OSX with lib_baudrate.c (cf: 20010630).
3831	+ modify script used to generate map/sym files to mark 5.9.20150530 as
3832	  the last "5.9" version, and regenerated the files.  That makes the
3833	  files not use ".current" for the post-5.9 symbols.  This also
3834	  corrects the label for _nc_sigprocmask used in when weak symbols are
3835	  configured for the ncursest/ncursestw libraries (prompted by
3836	  discussion with Sven Joachim).
3837	+ fix typo in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim).
3838
383920150606 pre-release
3840	+ make ABI 6 the default by updates to dist.mk and VERSION, with the
3841	  intention that the existing ABI 5 should build as before using the
3842	  "--with-abi-version=5" option.
3843	+ regenerate ada- and man-html documentation.
3844	+ minor fixes to color- and util-manpages.
3845	+ fix a regression in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, to handle special case of
3846	  Cygwin, which uses the broken-linker feature.
3847	+ amend fix for CF_NCURSES_CONFIG used in test/configure to assume that
3848	  ncurses package scripts work when present for cross-compiling, as the
3849	  lessor of two evils (cf: 20150530).
3850	+ add check in configure script to disallow conflicting options
3851	  "--with-termlib" and "--enable-term-driver".
3852	+ move defaults for "--disable-lp64" and "--with-versioned-syms" into
3853	  CF_ABI_DEFAULTS macro.
3854
385520150530
3856	+ change private type for Event_Mask in Ada95 binding to work when
3857	  mmask_t is set to 32-bits.
3858	+ remove spurious "%;" from st entry (report by Daniel Pitts) -TD
3859	+ add vte-2014, update vte to use that -TD
3860	+ modify tic and infocmp to "move" a diagnostic for tparm strings that
3861	  have a syntax error to tic's "-c" option (report by Daniel Pitts).
3862	+ fix two problems with configure script macros (Debian #786436,
3863	  cf: 20150425, cf: 20100529).
3864
386520150523
3866	+ add 'P' menu item to test/ncurses.c, to show pad in color.
3867	+ improve discussion in curs_color.3x about color rendering (prompted
3868	  by comment on Stack Overflow forum):
3869	+ remove screen-bce.mlterm, since mlterm does not do "bce" -TD
3870	+ add several screen.XXX entries to support the respective variations
3871	  for 256 colors -TD
3872	+ add putty+fnkeys* building-block entries -TD
3873	+ add smkx/rmkx to capabilities analyzed with infocmp "-i" option.
3874
387520150516
3876	+ amend change to ".pc" files to only use the extra loader flags which
3877	  may have rpath options (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20150502).
3878	+ change versioning for dpkg's in test-packages for Ada95 and
3879	  ncurses-examples for consistency with Debian, to work with package
3880	  updates.
3881	+ regenerate html manpages.
3882	+ clarify handling of carriage return in waddch manual page; it was
3883	  discussed only in the portability section (prompted by comment on
3884	  Stack Overflow forum):
3885
388620150509
3887	+ add test-packages for cross-compiling ncurses-examples using the
3888	  MinGW test-packages.  These are only the Debian packages; RPM later.
3889	+ cleanup format of debian/copyright files
3890	+ add pc-files to the MinGW cross-compiling test-packages.
3891	+ correct a couple of places in gen-pkgconfig.in to handle renaming of
3892	  the tinfo library.
3893
389420150502
3895	+ modify the configure script to allow different default values
3896	  for ABI 5 versus ABI 6.
3897	+ add wgetch-events to test-packages.
3898	+ add a note on how to build ncurses-examples to test/README.
3899	+ fix a memory leak in delscreen (report by Daniel Kahn Gillmor,
3900	  Debian #783486) -TD
3901	+ remove unnecessary ';' from E3 capabilities -TD
3902	+ add tmux entry, derived from screen (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
3903	+ split-out recent change to nsterm-bce as nsterm-build326, and add
3904	  nsterm-build342 to reflect changes with successive releases of OSX
3905	  (discussion with Leonardo B Schenkel)
3906	+ add xon, ich1, il1 to ibm3161 (patch by Stephen Powell, Debian
3907	  #783806)
3908	+ add sample "magic" file, to document ext-putwin.
3909	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to add explicit -ltinfo, etc., to the
3910	  generated ".pc" file when ld option "--as-needed" is used, or when
3911	  ncurses and tinfo are installed without using rpath (prompted by
3912	  discussion with Sylvain Bertrand).
3913	+ modify test-package for ncurses6 to omit rpath feature when installed
3914	  in /usr.
3915	+ add OSX's "*.dSYM" to clean-rules in makefiles.
3916	+ make extra-suffix work for OSX configuration, e.g., for shared
3917	  libraries.
3918	+ modify Ada95/configure script to work with pkg-config
3919	+ move test-package for ncurses6 to /usr, since filename-conflicts have
3920	  been eliminated.
3921	+ corrected build rules for Ada95/gen/generate; it does not depend on
3922	  the ncurses library aside from headers.
3923	+ reviewed man pages, fixed a few other spelling errors.
3924	+ fix a typo in curs_util.3x (Sven Joachim).
3925	+ use extra-suffix in some overlooked shared library dependencies
3926	  found by 20150425 changes for test-packages.
3927	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
3928		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
3929
393020150425
3931	+ expanded description of tgetstr's area pointer in manual page
3932	  (report by Todd M Lewis).
3933	+ in-progress changes to modify test-packages to use ncursesw6 rather
3934	  than ncursesw, with updated configure scripts.
3935	+ modify CF_NCURSES_CONFIG in Ada95- and test-configure scripts to
3936	  check for ".pc" files via pkg-config, but add a linkage check since
3937	  frequently pkg-config configurations are broken.
3938	+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to include EXTRA_LDFLAGS, e.g., for the
3939	  rpath option.
3940	+ add 'dim' capability to screen entry (report by Leonardo B Schenkel)
3941	+ add several key definitions to nsterm-bce to match preconfigured
3942	  keys, e.g., with OSX 10.9 and 10.10 (report by Leonardo B Schenkel)
3943	+ fix repeated "extra-suffix" in ncurses-config.in (cf: 20150418).
3944	+ improve term_variables manual page, adding section on the terminfo
3945	  long-name symbols which are defined in the term.h header.
3946	+ fix bug in lib_tracebits.c introduced in const-fixes (cf: 20150404).
3947
394820150418
3949	+ avoid a blank line in output from tabs program by ending it with
3950	  a carriage return as done in FreeBSD (patch by James Clarke).
3951	+ build-fix for the "--enable-ext-putwin" feature when not using
3952	  wide characters (report by Werner Fink).
3953	+ modify autoconf macros to use scripting improvement from xterm.
3954	+ add -brtl option to compiler options on AIX 5-7, needed to link
3955	  with the shared libraries.
3956	+ add --with-extra-suffix option to help with installing nonconflicting
3957	  ncurses6 packages, e.g., avoiding header- and library-conflicts.
3958	  NOTE: as a side-effect, this renames
3959		  adacurses-config to adacurses5-config and
3960		  adacursesw-config to adacursesw5-config
3961	+ modify debian/rules test package to suffix programs with "6".
3962	+ clarify in curs_inopts.3x that window-specific settings do not
3963	  inherit into new windows.
3964
396520150404
3966	+ improve description of start_color() in the manual.
3967	+ modify several files in ncurses- and progs-directories to allow
3968	  const data used in internal tables to be put by the linker into the
3969	  readonly text segment.
3970
397120150329
3972	+ correct cut/paste error for "--enable-ext-putwin" that made it the
3973	  same as "--enable-ext-colors" (report by Roumen Petrov)
3974
397520150328
3976	+ add "-f" option to test/savescreen.c to help with testing/debugging
3977	  the extended putwin/getwin.
3978	+ add logic for writing/reading combining characters in the extended
3979	  putwin/getwin.
3980	+ add "--enable-ext-putwin" configure option to turn on the extended
3981	  putwin/getwin.
3982
398320150321
3984	+ in-progress changes to provide an extended version of putwin and
3985	  getwin which will be capable of reading screen-dumps between the
3986	  wide/normal ncurses configurations.  These are text files, except
3987	  for a magic code at the beginning:
3988	  0       string          \210\210        Screen-dump (ncurses)
3989
399020150307
3991	+ document limitations of getwin in manual page (prompted by discussion
3992	  with John S Urban).
3993	+ extend test/savescreen.c to demonstrate that color pair values
3994	  and graphic characters can be restored using getwin.
3995
399620150228
3997	+ modify win_driver.c to eliminate the constructor, to make it more
3998	  usable in an application which may/may not need the console window
3999	  (report by Grady Martin).
4000
400120150221
4002	+ capture define's related to -D_XOPEN_SOURCE from the configure check
4003	  and add those to the *-config and *.pc files, to simplify use for
4004	  the wide-character libraries.
4005	+ modify ncurses.spec to accommodate Fedora21's location of pkg-config
4006	  directory.
4007	+ correct sense of "--disable-lib-suffixes" configure option (report
4008	  by Nicolas Boos, cf: 20140426).
4009
401020150214
4011	+ regenerate html manpages using improved man2html from work on xterm.
4012	+ regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, accounting
4013	  for the "--enable-weak-symbols" configure option (report by Werner
4014	  Fink).
4015
401620150131
4017	+ regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, showing
4018	  the combinations of configure options used at each stage.
4019
402020150124
4021	+ add configure check to determine if "local: _*;" can be used in the
4022	  ".map" files to selectively omit symbols beginning with "_".  On at
4023	  least recent FreeBSD, the wildcard applies to all "_" symbols.
4024	+ remove obsolete/conflicting rule for ncurses.map from
4025	  ncurses/Makefile.in (cf:  20130706).
4026
402720150117
4028	+ improve description in INSTALL of the --with-versioned-syms option.
4029	+ add combination of --with-hashed-db and --with-ticlib to
4030	  configurations for ".map" files (report by Werner Fink).
4031
403220150110
4033	+ add a step to generating ".map" files, to declare any remaining
4034	  symbols beginning with "_" as local, at the last version node.
4035	+ improve configure checks for pkg-config, addressing a variant found
4036	  with FreeBSD ports.
4037	+ modify win_driver.c to provide characters for special keys, like
4038	  ansi.sys, when keypad mode is off, rather than returning nothing at
4039	  all (discussion with Eli Zaretskii).
4040	+ add "broken_linker" and "hashed-db" configure options to combinations
4041	  use for generating the ".map" and ".sym" files.
4042	+ avoid using "ld" directly when creating shared library, to simplify
4043	  cross-compiles.  Also drop "-Bsharable" option from shared-library
4044	  rules for FreeBSD and DragonFly (FreeBSD #196592).
4045	+ fix a memory leak in form library Free_RegularExpression_Type()
4046	  (report by Pavel Balaev).
4047
404820150103
4049	+ modify_nc_flush() to retry if interrupted (patch by Stian Skjelstad).
4050	+ change map files to make _nc_freeall a global, since it may be used
4051	  via the Ada95 binding when checking for memory leaks.
4052	+ improve sed script used in 20141220 to account for wide-, threaded-
4053	  variations in ABI 6.
4054
405520141227
4056	+ regenerate ".map" files, using step overlooked in 20141213 to use
4057	  the same patch-dates across each file to match ncurses.map (report by
4058	  Sven Joachim).
4059
406020141221
4061	+ fix an incorrect variable assignment in 20141220 changes (report by
4062	  Sven Joachim).
4063
406420141220
4065	+ updated Ada95/configure with macro changes from 20141213
4066	+ tie configure options --with-abi-version and --with-versioned-syms
4067	  together, so that ABI 6 libraries have distinct symbol versions from
4068	  the ABI 5 libraries.
4069	+ replace obsolete/nonworking link to man2html with current one,
4070	  regenerate html-manpages.
4071
407220141213
4073	+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to add -I option for include-directory
4074	  when using both --prefix and --disable-overwrite (report by Misty
4075	  De Meo).
4076	+ add configure option --with-pc-suffix to allow minor renaming of
4077	  ".pc" files and the corresponding library.  Use this in the test
4078	  package for ncurses6.
4079	+ modify configure script so that if pkg-config is not installed, it
4080	  is still possible to install ".pc" files (report by Misty De Meo).
4081	+ updated ".sym" files, removing symbols which are marked as "local"
4082	  in the corresponding ".map" files.
4083	+ updated ".map" files to reflect move of comp_captab and comp_hash
4084	  from tic-library to tinfo-library in 20090711 (report by Sven
4085	  Joachim).
4086
408720141206
4088	+ updated ".map" files so that each symbol that may be shared across
4089	  the different library configurations has the same label.  Some
4090	  review is needed to ensure these are really compatible.
4091	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to work around change in development version of
4092	  gcc introduced here:
4093		  https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-06/msg02185.html
4094		  https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-07/msg00236.html
4095	  (reports by Marcus Shawcroft, Maohui Lei).
4096	+ improved configure macro CF_SUBDIR_PATH, from lynx changes.
4097
409820141129
4099	+ improved ".map" files by generating them with a script that builds
4100	  ncurses with several related configurations and merges the results.
4101	  A further refinement is planned, to make the tic- and tinfo-library
4102	  symbols use the same versions across each of the four configurations
4103	  which are represented (reports by Sven Joachim, Werner Fink).
4104
410520141115
4106	+ improve description of limits for color values and color pairs in
4107	  curs_color.3x (prompted by patch by Tim van der Molen).
4108	+ add VERSION file, using first field in that to record the ABI version
4109	  used for configure --with-libtool --disable-libtool-version
4110	+ add configure options for applying the ".map" and ".sym" files to
4111	  the ncurses, form, menu and panel libraries.
4112	+ add ".map" and ".sym" files to show exported symbols, e.g., for
4113	  symbol-versioning.
4114
411520141101
4116	+ improve strict compiler-warnings by adding a cast in TRACE_RETURN
4117	  and making a new TRACE_RETURN1 macro for cases where the cast does
4118	  not apply.
4119
412020141025
4121	+ in-progress changes to integrate the win32 console driver with the
4122	  msys2 configuration.
4123
412420141018
4125	+ reviewed terminology 0.6.1, add function key definitions.  None of
4126	  the vt100-compatibility issues were improved -TD
4127	+ improve infocmp conversion of extended capabilities to termcap by
4128	  correcting the limit check against parametrized[], as well as filling
4129	  in a check if the string happens to have parameters, e.g., "xm"
4130	  in recent changes.
4131	+ add check for zero/negative dimensions for resizeterm and resize_term
4132	  (report by Mike Gran).
4133
413420141011
4135	+ add experimental support for xterm's 1005 mouse mode, to use in a
4136	  demonstration of its limitations.
4137	+ add experimental support for "%u" format to terminfo.
4138	+ modify test/ncurses.c to also show position reports in 'a' test.
4139	+ minor formatting fixes to _nc_trace_mmask_t, make this function
4140	  exported to help with debugging mouse changes.
4141	+ improve behavior of wheel-mice for xterm protocol, noting that there
4142	  are only button-presses for buttons "4" and "5", so there is no need
4143	  to wait to combine events into double-clicks (report/analysis by
4144	  Greg Field).
4145	+ provide examples xterm-1005 and xterm-1006 terminfo entries -TD
4146	+ implement decoder for xterm SGR 1006 mouse mode.
4147
414820140927
4149	+ implement curs_set in win_driver.c
4150	+ implement flash in win_driver.c
4151	+ fix an infinite loop in win_driver.c if the command-window loses
4152	  focus.
4153	+ improve the non-buffered mode, i.e., NCURSES_CONSOLE2, of
4154	  win_driver.c by temporarily changing the buffer-size to match the
4155	  window-size to eliminate the scrollback.  Also enforce a minimum
4156	  screen-size of 24x80 in the non-buffered mode.
4157	+ modify generated misc/Makefile to suppress install.data from the
4158	  dependencies if the --disable-db-install option is used, compensating
4159	  for the top-level makefile changes used to add ncurses*-config in the
4160	  20140920 changes (report by Steven Honeyman).
4161
416220140920
4163	+ add ncurses*-config to bin-directory of sample package-scripts.
4164	+ add check to ensure that getopt is available; this is a problem in
4165	  some older cross-compiler environments.
4166	+ expanded on the description of --disable-overwrite in INSTALL
4167	  (prompted by reports by Joakim Tjernlund, Thomas Klausner).
4168	  See Gentoo #522586 and NetBSD #49200 for examples.
4169	  which relates to the clarified guidelines.
4170	+ remove special logic from CF_INCLUDE_DIRS which adds the directory
4171	  for the --includedir from the build (report by Joakim Tjernlund).
4172	+ add case for Unixware to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, from lynx changes.
4173	+ update config.sub from
4174		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
4175
417620140913
4177	+ add a configure check to ignore some of the plethora of non-working
4178	  C++ cross-compilers.
4179	+ build-fixes for Ada95 with gnat 4.9
4180
418120140906
4182	+ build-fix and other improvements for port of ncurses-examples to
4183	  NetBSD.
4184	+ minor compiler-warning fixes.
4185
418620140831
4187	+ modify test/demo_termcap.c and test/demo_terminfo.c to make their
4188	  options more directly comparable, and add "-i" option to specify
4189	  a terminal description filename to parse for names to lookup.
4190
419120140823
4192	+ fix special case where double-width character overwrites a single-
4193	  width character in the first column (report by Egmont Koblinger,
4194	  cf: 20050813).
4195
419620140816
4197	+ fix colors in ncurses 'b' test which did not work after changing
4198	  it to put the test-strings in subwindows (cf: 20140705).
4199	+ merge redundant SEE-ALSO sections in form and menu manpages.
4200
420120140809
4202	+ modify declarations for user-data pointers in C++ binding to use
4203	  reinterpret_cast to facilitate converting typed pointers to void*
4204	  in user's application (patch by Adam Jiang).
4205	+ regenerated html manpages.
4206	+ add note regarding cause and effect for TERM in ncurses manpage,
4207	  having noted clueless verbiage in Terminal.app's "help" file
4208	  which reverses cause/effect.
4209	+ remove special fallback definition for NCURSES_ATTR_T, since macros
4210	  have resolved type-mismatches using casts (cf: 970412).
4211	+ fixes for win_driver.c:
4212	  + handle repainting on endwin/refresh combination.
4213	  + implement beep().
4214	  + minor cleanup.
4215
421620140802
4217	+ minor portability fixes for MinGW:
4218	  + ensure WINVER is defined in makefiles rather than using headers
4219	  + add check for gnatprep "-T" option
4220	  + work around bug introduced by gcc 4.8.1 in MinGW which breaks
4221	    "trace" feature:
4222	    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20877689/gcc-4-8-1-minggw-d-option-does-not-work-as-usual
4223	+ fix most compiler warnings for Cygwin ncurses-examples.
4224	+ restore "redundant" -I options in test/Makefile.in, since they are
4225	  typically needed when building the derived ncurses-examples package
4226	  (cf: 20140726).
4227
422820140726
4229	+ eliminate some redundant -I options used for building libraries, and
4230	  ensure that ${srcdir} is added to the include-options (prompted by
4231	  discussion with Paul Gilmartin).
4232	+ modify configure script to work with Minix3.2
4233	+ add form library extension O_DYNAMIC_JUSTIFY option which can be
4234	  used to override the different treatment of justification for static
4235	  versus dynamic fields (adapted from patch by Leon Winter).
4236	+ add a null pointer check in test/edit_field.c (report/analysis by
4237	  Leon Winter, cf: 20130608).
4238
423920140719
4240	+ make workarounds for compiling test-programs with NetBSD curses.
4241	+ improve configure macro CF_ADD_LIBS, to eliminate repeated -l/-L
4242	  options, from xterm changes.
4243
424420140712
4245	+ correct Charable() macro check for A_ALTCHARSET in wide-characters.
4246	+ build-fix for position-debug code in tty_update.c, to work with or
4247	  without sp-funcs.
4248
424920140705
4250	+ add w/W toggle to ncurses.c 'B' test, to demonstrate permutation of
4251	  video-attributes and colors with double-width character strings.
4252
425320140629
4254	+ correct check in win_driver.c for saving screen contents, e.g., when
4255	  NCURSES_CONSOLE2 is set (cf: 20140503).
4256	+ reorganize b/B menu items in ncurses.c, putting the test-strings into
4257	  subwindows.  This is needed for a planned change to use Unicode
4258	  fullwidth characters in the test-screens.
4259	+ correct update to form status for _NEWTOP, broken by fixes for
4260	  compiler warnings (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20120616).
4261
426220140621
4263	+ change shared-library suffix for AIX 5 and 6 to ".so", avoiding
4264	  conflict with the static library (report by Ben Lentz).
4265	+ document RPATH_LIST in INSTALLATION file, as part of workarounds for
4266	  upgrading an ncurses library using the "--with-shared" option.
4267	+ modify test/ncurses.c c/C tests to cycle through subsets of the
4268	  total number of colors, to better illustrate 8/16/88/256-colors by
4269	  providing directly comparable screens.
4270	+ add test/dots_curses.c, for comparison with the low-level examples.
4271
427220140614
4273	+ fix dereference before null check found by Coverity in tic.c
4274	  (cf: 20140524).
4275	+ fix sign-extension bug in read_entry.c which prevented "toe" from
4276	  reading empty "screen+italics" entry.
4277	+ modify sgr for screen.xterm-new to support dim capability -TD
4278	+ add dim capability to nsterm+7 -TD
4279	+ cancel dim capability for iterm -TD
4280	+ add dim, invis capabilities to vte-2012 -TD
4281	+ add sitm/ritm to konsole-base and mlterm3 -TD
4282
428320140609
4284	> fix regression in screen terminfo entries (reports by Christian
4285	  Ebert, Gabriele Balducci) -TD
4286	+ revert the change to screen; see notes for why this did not work -TD
4287	+ cancel sitm/ritm for entries which extend "screen", to work around
4288	  screen's hardcoded behavior for SGR 3 -TD
4289
429020140607
4291	+ separate masking for sgr in vidputs from sitm/ritm, which do not
4292	  overlap with sgr functionality.
4293	+ remove unneeded -i option from adacurses-config; put -a in the -I
4294	  option for consistency (patch by Pascal Pignard).
4295	+ update xterm-new terminfo entry to xterm patch #305 -TD
4296	+ change format of test-scripts for Debian Ada95 and ncurses-examples
4297	  packages to quilted to work around Debian #700177 (cf: 20130907).
4298	+ build fix for form_driver_w.c as part of ncurses-examples package for
4299	  older ncurses than 20131207.
4300	+ add Hello World example to adacurses-config manpage.
4301	+ remove unused --enable-pc-files option from Ada95/configure.
4302	+ add --disable-gnat-projects option for testing.
4303	+ revert changes to Ada95 project-files configuration (cf: 20140524).
4304	+ corrected usage message in adacurses-config.
4305
430620140524
4307	+ fix typo in ncurses manpage for the NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE
4308	  environment variable.
4309	+ improve discussion of input-echoing in curs_getch.3x
4310	+ clarify discussion in curs_addch.3x of wrapping.
4311	+ modify parametrized.h to make fln non-padded.
4312	+ correct several entries which had termcap-style padding used in
4313	  terminfo: adm21, aj510, alto-h19, att605-pc, x820 -TD
4314	+ correct syntax for padding in some entries: dg211, h19 -TD
4315	+ correct ti924-8 which had confused padding versus octal escapes -TD
4316	+ correct padding in sbi entry -TD
4317	+ fix an old bug in the termcap emulation; "%i" was ignored in tparm()
4318	  because the parameters to be incremented were already on the internal
4319	  stack (report by Corinna Vinschen).
4320	+ modify tic's "-c" option to take into account the "-C" option to
4321	  activate additional checks which compare the results from running
4322	  tparm() on the terminfo expressions versus the translated termcap
4323	  expressions.
4324	+ modify tic to allow it to read from FIFOs (report by Matthieu Fronton,
4325	  cf: 20120324).
4326	> patches by Nicolas Boulenguez:
4327	+ explicit dereferences to suppress some style warnings.
4328	+ when c_varargs_to_ada.c includes its header, use double quotes
4329	  instead of <>.
4330	+ samples/ncurses2-util.adb:  removed unused with clause.  The warning
4331	  was removed by an obsolete pragma.
4332	+ replaced Unreferenced pragmas with Warnings (Off).  The latter,
4333	  available with older GNATs, needs no configure test.  This also
4334	  replaces 3 untested Unreferenced pragmas.
4335	+ simplified To_C usage in trace handling.  Using two parameters allows
4336	  some basic formatting, and avoids a warning about security with some
4337	  compiler flags.
4338	+ for generated Ada sources, replace many snippets with one pure
4339	  package.
4340	+ removed C_Chtype and its conversions.
4341	+ removed C_AttrType and its conversions.
4342	+ removed conversions between int, Item_Option_Set, Menu_Option_Set.
4343	+ removed int, Field_Option_Set, Item_Option_Set conversions.
4344	+ removed C_TraceType, Attribute_Option_Set conversions.
4345	+ replaced C.int with direct use of Eti_Error, now enumerated.  As it
4346	  was used in a case statement, values were tested by the Ada compiler
4347	  to be consecutive anyway.
4348	+ src/Makefile.in: remove duplicate stanza
4349	+ only consider using a project for shared libraries.
4350	+ style. Silent gnat-4.9 warning about misplaced "then".
4351	+ generate shared library project to honor ADAFLAGS, LDFLAGS.
4352
435320140510
4354	+ cleanup recently introduced compiler warnings for MingW port.
4355	+ workaround for ${MAKEFLAGS} configure check versus GNU make 4.0,
4356	  which introduces more than one gratuitous incompatibility.
4357
435820140503
4359	+ add vt520ansi terminfo entry (patch by Mike Gran)
4360	+ further improve MinGW support for the scenario where there is an
4361	  ANSI-escapes handler such as ansicon running in the console window
4362	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
4363
436420140426
4365	+ add --disable-lib-suffixes option (adapted from patch by Juergen
4366	  Pfeifer).
4367	+ merge some changes from Juergen Pfeifer's work with MSYS2, to
4368	  simplify later merging:
4369	  + use NC_ISATTY() macro for isatty() in library
4370	  + add _nc_mingw_isatty() and related functions to windows-driver
4371	  + rename terminal driver entrypoints to simplify grep's
4372	+ remove a check in the sp-funcs flavor of newterm() which allowed only
4373	  the first call to newterm() to succeed (report by Thomas Beierlein,
4374	  cf: 20090927).
4375
437620140419
4377	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
4378		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
4379
438020140412
4381	+ modify configure script:
4382	  + drop the -no-gcc option from Intel compiler, from lynx changes.
4383	  + extend the --with-hashed-db configure option to simplify building
4384	    with different versions of Berkeley database using FreeBSD ports.
4385	+ improve initialization for MinGW port (Juergen Pfeifer):
4386	  + enforce Windows-style path-separator if cross-compiling,
4387	  + add a driver-name method to each of the drivers,
4388	  + allow the Windows driver name to match "unknown", ignoring case,
4389	  + lengthen the built-in name for the Windows console driver to
4390	    "#win32console", and
4391	  + move the comparison of driver-names allowing abbreviation, e.g.,
4392	    to "#win32con" into the Windows console driver.
4393
439420140329
4395	+ add check in tic for mismatch between ccc and initp/initc
4396	+ cancel ccc in putty-256color and konsole-256color for consistency
4397	  with the cancelled initc capability (patch by Sven Zuhlsdorf).
4398	+ add xterm+256setaf building block for various terminals which only
4399	  get the 256-color feature half-implemented -TD
4400	+ updated "st" entry (leaving the 0.1.1 version as "simpleterm") to
4401	  0.4.1 -TD
4402
440320140323
4404	+ fix typo in "mlterm" entry (report by Gabriele Balducci) -TD
4405
440620140322
4407	+ use types from <stdint.h> in sample build-scripts for chtype, etc.
4408	+ modify configure script and curses.h.in to allow the types specified
4409	  using --with-chtype and related options to be defined in <stdint.h>
4410	+ add terminology entry -TD
4411	+ add mlterm3 entry, use that as "mlterm" -TD
4412	+ inherit mlterm-256color from mlterm -TD
4413
441420140315
4415	+ modify _nc_New_TopRow_and_CurrentItem() to ensure that the menu's
4416	  top-row is adjusted as needed to ensure that the current item is
4417	  on the screen (patch by Johann Klammer).
4418	+ add wgetdelay() to retrieve _delay member of WINDOW if it happens to
4419	  be opaque, e.g., in the pthread configuration (prompted by patch by
4420	  Soren Brinkmann).
4421
442220140308
4423	+ modify ifdef in read_entry.c to handle the case where
4424	  NCURSES_USE_DATABASE is not defined (patch by Xin Li).
4425	+ add cast in form_driver_w() to fix ARM build (patch by Xin Li).
4426	+ add logic to win_driver.c to save/restore screen contents when not
4427	  allocating a console-buffer (cf: 20140215).
4428
442920140301
4430	+ clarify error-returns from newwin (report by Ruslan Nabioullin).
4431
443220140222
4433	+ fix some compiler warnings in win_driver.c
4434	+ updated notes for wsvt25 based on tack and vttest -TD
4435	+ add teken entry to show actual properties of FreeBSD's "xterm"
4436	  console -TD
4437
443820140215
4439	+ in-progress changes to win_driver.c to implement output without
4440	  allocating a console-buffer.  This uses a pre-existing environment
4441	  variable NCGDB used by Juergen Pfeifer for debugging (prompted by
4442	  discussion with Erwin Waterlander regarding Console2, which hangs
4443	  when reading in an allocated console-buffer).
4444	+ add -t option to gdc.c, and modify to accept "S" to step through the
4445	  scrolling-stages.
4446	+ regenerate NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the broken
4447	  html emitted by docbook.
4448
444920140209
4450	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to omit followup check to determine if
4451	  _XOPEN_SOURCE can/should be defined.  g++ 4.7.2 built on Solaris 10
4452	  has some header breakage due to its own predefinition of this symbol
4453	  (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15796).
4454
445520140201
4456	+ add/use symbol NCURSES_PAIRS_T like NCURSES_COLOR_T, to illustrate
4457	  which "short" types are for color pairs and which are color values.
4458	+ fix build for s390x, by correcting field bit offsets in generated
4459	  representation clauses when int=32 long=64 and endian=big, or at
4460	  least on s390x (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
4461	+ minor cleanup change to test/form_driver_w.c (patch by Gaute Hope).
4462
446320140125
4464	+ remove unnecessary ifdef's in Ada95/gen/gen.c, which reportedly do
4465	  not work as is with gcc 4.8 due to fixes using chtype cast made for
4466	  new compiler warnings by gcc 4.8 in 20130824 (Debian #735753, patch
4467	  by Nicolas Boulenguez).
4468
446920140118
4470	+ apply includesubdir variable which was introduced in 20130805 to
4471	  gen-pkgconfig.in (Debian #735782).
4472
447320131221
4474	+ further improved man2html, used this to fix broken links in html
4475	  manpages.  See
4476	  ftp://ftp.invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/man2html
4477
447820131214
4479	+ modify configure-script/ifdef's to allow OLD_TTY feature to be
4480	  suppressed if the type of ospeed is configured using the option
4481	  --with-ospeed to not be a short.  By default, it is a short for
4482	  termcap-compatibility (adapted from suggestion by Christian
4483	  Weisgerber).
4484	+ correct a typo in _nc_baudrate() (patch by Christian Weisgerber,
4485	  cf: 20061230).
4486	+ fix a few -Wlogical-op warnings.
4487	+ updated llib-l* files.
4488
448920131207
4490	+ add form_driver_w() entrypoint to wide-character forms library, as
4491	  well as test program form_driver_w (adapted from patch by Gaute
4492	  Hope).
4493
449420131123
4495	+ minor fix for CF_GCC_WARNINGS to special-case options which are not
4496	  recognized by clang.
4497
449820131116
4499	+ add special case to configure script to move _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
4500	  definition from CPPFLAGS to CFLAGS if it happens to be needed for
4501	  Solaris, because g++ errors with that definition (report by
4502	  Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15268).
4503	+ correct logic in infocmp's -i option which was intended to ignore
4504	  strings which correspond to function-keys as candidates for piecing
4505	  together initialization- or reset-strings.  The problem dates to
4506	  1.9.7a, but was overlooked until changes in -Wlogical-op warnings for
4507	  gcc 4.8 (report by David Binderman).
4508	+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, moving
4509	  checks for -Wextra and -Wdeclaration-after-statement into the macro,
4510	  and adding checks for -Wignored-qualifiers, -Wlogical-op and
4511	  -Wvarargs
4512	+ updated CF_CURSES_UNCTRL_H and CF_SHARED_OPTS macros from ongoing
4513	  work on cdk.
4514	+ update config.sub from
4515		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
4516
451720131110
4518	+ minor cleanup of terminfo.tail
4519
452020131102
4521	+ use TS extension to describe xterm's title-escapes -TD
4522	+ modify terminator and nsterm-s to use xterm+sl-twm building block -TD
4523	+ update hurd.ti, add xenl to reflect 2011-03-06 change in
4524	  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/hurd.git/log/console/display.c
4525	  (Debian #727119).
4526	+ simplify pfkey expression in ansi.sys -TD
4527
452820131027
4529	+ correct/simplify ifdef's for cur_term versus broken-linker and
4530	  reentrant options (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, cf: 20090530).
4531	+ modify release/version combinations in test build-scripts to make
4532	  them more consistent with other packages.
4533
453420131019
4535	+ add nc_mingw.h to installed headers for MinGW port; needed for
4536	  compiling ncurses-examples.
4537	+ add rpm-script for testing cross-compile of ncurses-examples.
4538
453920131014
4540	+ fix new typo in CF_ADA_INCLUDE_DIRS macro (report by Roumen Petrov).
4541
454220131012
4543	+ fix a few compiler warnings in progs and test.
4544	+ minor fix to package/debian-mingw/rules, do not strip dll's.
4545	+ minor fixes to configure script for empty $prefix, e.g., when doing
4546	  cross-compiles to MinGW.
4547	+ add script for building test-packages of binaries cross-compiled to
4548	  MinGW using NSIS.
4549
455020131005
4551	+ minor fixes for ncurses-example package and makefile.
4552	+ add scripts for test-builds of cross-compiler packages for ncurses6
4553	  to MinGW.
4554
455520130928
4556	+ some build-fixes for ncurses-examples with NetBSD-6.0 curses, though
4557	  it lacks some common functions such as use_env() which is not yet
4558	  addressed.
4559	+ build-fix and some compiler warning fixes for ncurses-examples with
4560	  OpenBSD 5.3
4561	+ fix a possible null-pointer reference in a trace message from newterm.
4562	+ quiet a few warnings from NetBSD 6.0 namespace pollution by
4563	  nonstandard popcount() function in standard strings.h header.
4564	+ ignore g++ 4.2.1 warnings for "-Weffc++" in c++/cursesmain.cc
4565	+ fix a few overlooked places for --enable-string-hacks option.
4566
456720130921
4568	+ fix typo in curs_attr.3x (patch by Sven Joachim, cf: 20130831).
4569	+ build-fix for --with-shared option for DragonFly and FreeBSD (report
4570	  by Rong-En Fan, cf: 20130727).
4571
457220130907
4573	+ build-fixes for MSYS for two test-programs (patches by Ray Donnelly,
4574	  Alexey Pavlov).

4584		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
4585
458620130831
4587	+ modify test/ncurses.c b/B tests to display lines only for the
4588	  attributes which a given terminal supports, to make room for an
4589	  italics test.
4590	+ completed ncv table in terminfo.tail; it did not list the wide
4591	  character codes listed in X/Open Curses issue 7.
4592	+ add A_ITALIC extension (prompted by discussion with Egmont Koblinger).
4593
459420130824

4611	  configured $(includedir) is not cancelled by the mingwxx-filesystem
4612	  rpm macros.
4613	+ add --disable-db-install configure option, to simplify building
4614	  cross-compile support packages.
4615	+ add mingw-ncurses.spec file, for testing cross-compiles.
4616

4619	  + CF_ADD_LIB_AFTER - fix a problem with -Wl options
4620	  + CF_RPATH_HACK - add missing result-message
4621	  + CF_SHARED_OPTS - modify to use $rel_builddir in cygwin and mingw

4647
464820130622
4649	+ modify the clear program to take into account the E3 extended
4650	  capability to clear the terminal's scrollback buffer (patch by

4660	+ minor changes to some configure macros to make them more reusable.
4661	+ fixes for tabs program (prompted by report by Nick Andrik).
4662	  + corrected logic in command-line parsing of -a and -c predefined
4663	    tab-lists options.
4664	  + allow "-0" and "-8" options to be combined with others, e.g.,"-0d".
4665	  + make warning messages more consistent with the other utilities by

4675	+ add test/dots_termcap.c
4676	+ remove setupterm call from test/demo_termcap.c
4677	+ build-fix if --disable-ext-funcs configure option is used.
4678	+ modified test/edit_field.c and test/demo_forms.c to move the lengths

4687	  --enable-reentrant options are combined (report by George R Goffe).
4688
468920130525
4690	+ modify mvcur() to distinguish between internal use by the ncurses
4691	  library, and external callers, preventing it from reading the content
4692	  of the screen which is only nonblank when curses calls have updated
4693	  it.  This makes test/dots_mvcur.c avoid painting colored cells in
4694	  the left margin of the display.
4695	+ minor fix to test/dots_mvcur.c
4696	+ move configured symbols USE_DATABASE and USE_TERMCAP to term.h as
4697	  NCURSES_USE_DATABASE and NCURSES_USE_TERMCAP to allow consistent
4698	  use of these symbols in term_entry.h
4699
470020130518
4701	+ corrected ifdefs in test/testcurs.c to allow comparison of mouse

4713	  prevented inserts when video attributes were attached to the data
4714	  (cf: 20121215) (Redhat #959534).
4715
471620130504
4717	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
4718	  + correct FNKEY() macro in progs/dump_entry.c, allowing kf11-kf63 to
4719	    display when infocmp's -R option is used for HP or AIX subsets.
4720	  + fix dead-code issue with test/movewindow.c
4721	  + improve limited-checking in _nc_read_termtype().
4722
472320130427
4724	+ fix clang 3.2 warning in progs/dump_entry.c
4725	+ drop AC_TYPE_SIGNAL check; ncurses relies on c89 and later.

4728	+ add MinGW to cases where ncurses installs by default into /usr
4729	  (prompted by discussion with Daniel Silva Ferreira).
4730	+ add -D option to infocmp's usage-message (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
4731	+ add a missing 'int' type for main function in configure check for
4732	  type of bool variable, to work with clang 3.2 (report by Dmitri
4733	  Gribenko).
4734	+ improve configure check for static_cast, to work with clang 3.2
4735	  (report by Dmitri Gribenko).
4736	+ re-order rule for demo.o and macros defining header dependencies in
4737	  c++/Makefile.in to accommodate gmake (report by Dmitri Gribenko).
4738
473920130406
4740	+ improve parameter checking in copywin().
4741	+ modify configure script to work around OS X's "libtool" program, to
4742	  choose glibtool instead.  At the same time, chance the autoconf macro
4743	  to look for a "tool" rather than a "prog", to help with potential use
4744	  in cross-compiling.
4745	+ separate the rpath usage for c++ library from demo program
4746	  (Redhat #911540)
4747	+ update/correct header-dependencies in c++ makefile (report by Werner
4748	  Fink).

4772	  operator by tic/infocmp by showing the entry name and capability.
4773	+ minor formatting improvement to tic/infocmp -f option to ensure
4774	  line split after "%;".
4775	+ amend scripting for --with-cxx-shared option to handle the debug

4777
477820130309
4779	+ amend change to toe.c for reading from /dev/zero, to ensure that
4780	  there is a buffer for the temporary filename (cf: 20120324).

4785	  + CF_INTEL_COMPILER, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE from luit 2.0-20130217
4786	+ add configure option --with-cxx-shared to permit building
4787	  libncurses++ as a shared library when using g++, e.g., the same
4788	  limitations as libtool but better integrated with the usual build
4789	  configuration (Redhat #911540).
4790	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to filter out build-path which was unnecessarily
4791	  shown in curses.h (Debian #689131).
4792
479320130302
4794	+ add section to terminfo manpage discussing user-defined capabilities.
4795	+ update manpage description of NCURSES_NO_SETBUF, explaining why it
4796	  is obsolete.
4797	+ add a check in waddch_nosync() to ensure that tab characters are
4798	  treated as control characters; some broken locales claim they are
4799	  printable.
4800	+ add some traces to the Windows console driver.
4801	+ initialize a temporary array in _nc_mbtowc, needed for some cases
4802	  of raw input in MinGW port.

4811	+ modify test/knight.c to work with mouse for pdcurses as it does for
4812	  ncurses.
4813	+ modify internal recursion in wgetch() which handles cooked mode to
4814	  check if the call to wgetnstr() returned an error.  This can happen
4815	  when both nocbreak() and nodelay() are set, for instance (report by
4816	  Nils Christopher Brause) (cf: 960418).
4817	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
4818	  + add a check for valid position in ClearToEOS()
4819	  + fix in lib_twait.c when --enable-wgetch-events is used, pointer
4820	    use after free.

4826	  of curses-related libraries, to help with linking with pdcurses in
4827	  MinGW environment.
4828	+ if the --with-terminfo-dirs configure option is not used, there is
4829	  no corresponding compiled-in value for that.  Fill in "no default
4830	  value" for that part of the manpage substitution.
4831
483220130202
4833	+ correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make
4834	  an incorrect move (cf: 20001028).
4835	+ improve documentation of the terminfo/termcap search path.
4836
483720130126
4838	+ further fixes to mvcur to pass callback function (cf: 20130112),
4839	  needed to make test/dots_mvcur work.
4840	+ reduce calls to SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer in win_driver.c, to
4841	  help reduce flicker.
4842	+ modify configure script to omit "+b" from linker options for very
4843	  old HP-UX systems (report by Dennis Grevenstein)
4844	+ add HP-UX workaround for missing EILSEQ on old HP-UX systems (patch
4845	  by Dennis Grevenstein).
4846	+ restore memmove/strdup support for antique systems (request by
4847	  Dennis Grevenstein).
4848	+ change %l behavior in tparm to push the string length onto the stack
4849	  rather than saving the formatted length into the output buffer
4850	  (report by Roy Marples, cf: 980620).
4851
485220130119
4853	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:

4859	+ add advice in infocmp manpage for termcap users (Debian #698469).
4860	+ add "-y" option to test/demo_termcap and test/demo_terminfo to
4861	  demonstrate behavior with/without extended capabilities.
4862	+ updated termcap manpage to document legacy termcap behavior for
4863	  matching capability names.
4864	+ modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate legacy
4865	  applications as well as to improve compatibility with BSD 4.2
4866	  termcap implementations (Debian #698299) (cf: 980725).
4867
486820130112
4869	+ correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts.
4870	+ drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they
4871	  are unused in the current driver model.
4872	+ modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses
4873	  library.
4874	+ modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage.
4875	+ amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level
4876	  putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering.
4877	  The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674).
4878
487920130105
4880	+ add "-s" option to test/view.c to allow it to start in single-step
4881	  mode, reducing size of trace files when it is used for debugging
4882	  MinGW changes.
4883	+ revert part of 20121222 change to tinfo_driver.c
4884	+ add experimental logic in win_driver.c to improve optimization of
4885	  screen updates.  This does not yet work with double-width characters,
4886	  so it is ifdef'd out for the moment (prompted by report by Erwin
4887	  Waterlander regarding screen flicker).
4888
488920121229
4890	+ fix Coverity warnings regarding copying into fixed-size buffers.

4896	+ add *.dSYM directories to clean-rule in ncurses directory makefile,
4897	  for Mac OS builds.
4898	+ add a configure check for gcc option -no-cpp-precomp, which is not
4899	  available in all Mac OS X configurations (report by Andras Salamon,
4900	  cf: 20011208).
4901	+ improve 20021221 workaround for broken acs, handling a case where
4902	  that ACS_xxx character is not in the acsc string but there is a known
4903	  wide-character which can be used.
4904
490520121215
4906	+ fix several warnings from clang 3.1 --analyze, includes correcting

4920	  each position in automove option, e.g., to allow user to follow
4921	  Warnsdorff's rule to solve the puzzle.
4922	+ modify test/hanoi.c to show the minimum number of moves possible for
4923	  the given number of tiles (prompted by patch by Lucas Gioia).
4924	> fixes based on Coverity report:
4925	+ remove a few redundant checks.
4926	+ correct logic in test/bs.c, when randomly placing a specific type of

4932	  terminal driver.
4933	+ correct scope of variable used in SetSafeOutcWrapper macro.
4934	+ set umask when calling mkstemp in tic.
4935	+ initialize wbkgrndset() temporary variable when extended-colors are
4936	  used.
4937
493820121201
4939	+ also replace MinGW's wctomb(), fixing a problem with setcchar().
4940	+ modify test/view.c to load UTF-8 when built with MinGW by using
4941	  regular win32 API because the MinGW functions mblen() and mbtowc()
4942	  do not work.
4943
494420121124
4945	+ correct order of color initialization versus display in some of the
4946	  test-programs, e.g., test_addstr.c
4947	> fixes based on Coverity report:
4948	+ delete windows on exit from some of the test-programs.
4949

4967	  local -I include options in case someone has set conflicting -I
4968	  options in $CPPFLAGS (prompted by patch for ncurses/Makefile.in by
4969	  Vassili Courzakis).

4971	  the RPATH_LIST variable, e.g., "../lib" as used in installing shared
4972	  libraries or executables.
4973
497420121102
4975	+ realign these related pages:
4976	    curs_add_wchstr.3x
4977	    curs_addchstr.3x

4984	+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_strdup() for strdup().
4985	+ cancel any debug-rpm in package/ncurses.spec
4986	+ reviewed vte-2012, reverted most of the change since it was incorrect
4987	  based on testing with tack -TD
4988	+ un-cancel the initc in vte-256color, since this was implemented
4989	  starting with version 0.20 in 2009 -TD
4990
499120121026
4992	+ improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
4993	  #866989).
4994	+ add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.
4995	+ updated configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_WITH_PATHLIST.  The
4996	  first corrects pattern used for Mac OS X's customization of gcc.
4997
499820121017
4999	+ fix change to _nc_scroll_optimize(), which incorrectly freed memory
5000	  (Redhat #866989).
5001
500220121013
5003	+ add vte-2012, gnome-2012, making these the defaults for vte/gnome
5004	  (patch by Christian Persch).
5005
500620121006
5007	+ improve CF_GCC_VERSION to work around Debian's customization of gcc
5008	  --version message.
5009	+ improve configure macros as done in byacc:
5010	  + drop 2.13 compatibility; use 2.52.xxxx version only since EMX port
5011	    has used that for a while.
5012	  + add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE's to allow autoheader to run, i.e.,
5013	    for experimental use.
5014	  + remove unused configure macros.
5015	+ modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
5016	  for LIBS_TO_MAKE variable.
5017	+ modify configure script to show $PATH_SEPARATOR variable.
5018	+ update config.guess, config.sub
5019
502020120922
5021	+ modify setupterm to set its copy of TERM to "unknown" if configured
5022	  for the terminal driver and TERM was null or empty.
5023	+ modify treatment of TERM variable for MinGW port to allow explicit
5024	  use of the windows console driver by checking if $TERM is set to
5025	  "#win32con" or an abbreviation of that.
5026	+ undo recent change to fallback definition of vsscanf() to build with
5027	  older Solaris compilers (cf: 20120728).
5028
502920120908
5030	+ add test-screens to test/ncurses to show 256-characters at a time,
5031	  to help with MinGW port.
5032
503320120903
5034	+ simplify varargs logic in lib_printw.c; va_copy is no longer needed
5035	  there.
5036	+ modifications for MinGW port to make wide-character display usable.
5037
503820120902
5039	+ regenerate configure script (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20120901).
5040
504120120901
5042	+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_flush (cf: 20120825).
5043	+ fix a case in _nc_scroll_optimize() where the _oldnums_list array
5044	  might not be allocated.
5045	+ improve comparisons in configure.in for unset shell variables.
5046
504720120826
5048	+ increase size of ncurses' output-buffer, in case of very small
5049	  initial screen-sizes.
5050	+ fix evaluation of TERMINFO and TERMINFO_DIRS default values as needed
5051	  after changes to use --datarootdir (reports by Gabriele Balducci,
5052	  Roumen Petrov).
5053
505420120825
5055	+ change output buffering scheme, using buffer maintained by ncurses
5056	  rather than stdio, to avoid problems with SIGTSTP handling (report
5057	  by Brian Bloniarz).
5058
505920120811
5060	+ update autoconf patch to 2.52.20120811, adding --datarootdir
5061	  (prompted by discussion with Erwin Waterlander).
5062	+ improve description of --enable-reentrant option in README and the
5063	  INSTALL file.
5064	+ add nsterm-256color, make this the default nsterm -TD
5065	+ remove bw from nsterm-bce, per testing with tack -TD
5066
506720120804
5068	+ update test/configure, adding check for tinfo library.
5069	+ improve limit-checks for the getch fifo (report by Werner Fink).
5070	+ fix a remaining mismatch between $with_echo and the symbols updated
5071	  for CF_DISABLE_ECHO affecting parameters for mk-2nd.awk (report by
5072	  Sven Joachim, cf:  20120317).
5073	+ modify followup check for pkg-config's library directory in the
5074	  --enable-pc-files option to validate syntax (report by Sven Joachim,
5075	  cf: 20110716).
5076
507720120728
5078	+ correct path for ncurses_mingw.h in include/headers, in case build
5079	  is done outside source-tree (patch by Roumen Petrov).
5080	+ modify some older xterm entries to align with xterm source -TD
5081	+ separate "xterm-old" alias from "xterm-r6" -TD
5082	+ add E3 extended capability to xterm-basic and putty -TD
5083	+ parenthesize parameters of other macros in curses.h -TD
5084	+ parenthesize parameter of COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER in curses.h
5085	  in case it happens to be a comma-expression, etc.  (patch by Nick
5086	  Black).
5087
508820120721
5089	+ improved form_request_by_name() and menu_request_by_name().
5090	+ eliminate two fixed-size buffers in toe.c
5091	+ extend use_tioctl() to have expected behavior when use_env(FALSE) and
5092	  use_tioctl(TRUE) are called.
5093	+ modify ncurses test-program, adding -E and -T options to demonstrate
5094	  use_env() versus use_tioctl().
5095
509620120714
5097	+ add use_tioctl() function (adapted from patch by Werner Fink,
5098	  Novell #769788):
5099
510020120707
5101	+ add ncurses_mingw.h to installed headers (prompted by patch by
5102	  Juergen Pfeifer).
5103	+ clarify return-codes from wgetch() in response to SIGWINCH (prompted
5104	  by Novell #769788).
5105	+ modify resizeterm() to always push a KEY_RESIZE onto the fifo, even
5106	  if screensize is unchanged.  Modify _nc_update_screensize() to push a
5107	  KEY_RESIZE if there was a SIGWINCH, even if it does not call
5108	  resizeterm().  These changes eliminate the case where a SIGWINCH is
5109	  received, but ERR returned from wgetch or wgetnstr because the screen
5110	  dimensions did not change (Novell #769788).
5111
511220120630
5113	+ add --enable-interop to sample package scripts (suggested by Juergen
5114	  Pfeifer).
5115	+ update CF_PATH_SYNTAX macro, from mawk changes.
5116	+ modify mk-0th.awk to allow for generating llib-ltic, etc., though
5117	  some work is needed on cproto to work with lib_gen.c to update
5118	  llib-lncurses.
5119	+ remove redundant getenv() cal in database-iterator leftover from
5120	  cleanup in 20120622 changes (report by Sven Joachim).
5121
512220120622
5123	+ add -d, -e and -q options to test/demo_terminfo and test/demo_termcap
5124	+ fix caching of environment variables in database-iterator (patch by
5125	  Philippe Troin, Redhat #831366).
5126
512720120616
5128	+ add configure check to distinguish clang from gcc to eliminate
5129	  warnings about unused command-line parameters when compiler warnings
5130	  are enabled.
5131	+ improve behavior when updating terminfo entries which are hardlinked
5132	  by allowing for the possibility that an alias has been repurposed to
5133	  a new primary name.
5134	+ fix some strict compiler warnings based on package scripts.
5135	+ further fixes for configure check for working poll (Debian #676461).
5136
513720120608
5138	+ fix an uninitialized variable in -c/-n logic for infocmp changes
5139	  (cf: 20120526).
5140	+ corrected fix for building c++ binding with clang 3.0 (report/patch
5141	  by Richard Yao, Gentoo #417613, cf: 20110409)
5142	+ correct configure check for working poll, fixing the case where stdin
5143	  is redirected, e.g., in rpm/dpkg builds (Debian #676461).
5144	+ add rpm- and dpkg-scripts, to test those build-environments.
5145	  The resulting packages are used only for testing.
5146
514720120602
5148	+ add kdch1 aka "Remove" to vt220 and vt220-8 entries -TD
5149	+ add kdch1, etc., to qvt108 -TD
5150	+ add dl1/il1 to some entries based on dl/il values -TD
5151	+ add dl to simpleterm -TD
5152	+ add consistency-checks in tic for insert-line vs delete-line
5153	  controls, and insert/delete-char keys
5154	+ correct no-leaks logic in infocmp when doing comparisons, fixing
5155	  duplicate free of entries given via the command-line, and freeing
5156	  entries loaded from the last-but-one of files specified on the
5157	  command-line.
5158	+ add kdch1 to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (reported by David Lord,
5159	  analysis by Martin Husemann).
5160	+ add cnorm/civis to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (report/analysis by
5161	  Onno van der Linden).
5162
516320120526
5164	+ extend -c and -n options of infocmp to allow comparing more than two
5165	  entries.
5166	+ correct check in infocmp for number of terminal names when more than
5167	  two are given.
5168	+ correct typo in curs_threads.3x (report by Yanhui Shen on
5169	  freebsd-hackers mailing list).
5170
517120120512
5172	+ corrected 'op' for bterm (report by Samuel Thibault) -TD
5173	+ modify test/background.c to demonstrate a background character
5174	  holding a colored ACS_HLINE.  The behavior differs from SVr4 due to
5175	  the thick- and double-line extension (cf: 20091003).
5176	+ modify handling of acs characters in PutAttrChar to avoid mapping an
5177	  unmapped character to a space with A_ALTCHARSET set.
5178	+ rewrite vt520 entry based on vt420 -TD
5179
518020120505
5181	+ remove p6 (bold) from opus3n1+ for consistency -TD
5182	+ remove acs stuff from env230 per clues in Ingres termcap -TD
5183	+ modify env230 sgr/sgr0 to match other capabilities -TD
5184	+ modify smacs/rmacs in bq300-8 to match sgr/sgr0 -TD
5185	+ make sgr for dku7202 agree with other caps -TD
5186	+ make sgr for ibmpc agree with other caps -TD
5187	+ make sgr for tek4107 agree with other caps -TD
5188	+ make sgr for ndr9500 agree with other caps -TD
5189	+ make sgr for sco-ansi agree with other caps -TD
5190	+ make sgr for d410 agree with other caps -TD
5191	+ make sgr for d210 agree with other caps -TD
5192	+ make sgr for d470c, d470c-7b agree with other caps -TD
5193	+ remove redundant AC_DEFINE for NDEBUG versus Makefile definition.
5194	+ fix a back-link in _nc_delink_entry(), which is needed if ncurses is
5195	  configured with --enable-termcap and --disable-getcap.
5196
519720120428
5198	+ fix some inconsistencies between vt320/vt420, e.g., cnorm/civis -TD
5199	+ add eslok flag to dec+sl -TD
5200	+ dec+sl applies to vt320 and up -TD
5201	+ drop wsl width from xterm+sl -TD
5202	+ reuse xterm+sl in putty and nsca-m -TD
5203	+ add ansi+tabs to vt520 -TD
5204	+ add ansi+enq to vt220-vt520 -TD
5205	+ fix a compiler warning in example in ncurses-intro.doc (Paul Waring).
5206	+ added paragraph in keyname manpage telling how extended capabilities
5207	  are interpreted as key definitions.
5208	+ modify tic's check of conflicting key definitions to include extended
5209	  capability strings in addition to the existing check on predefined
5210	  keys.
5211
521220120421
5213	+ improve cleanup of temporary files in tic using atexit().
5214	+ add msgr to vt420, similar DEC vtXXX entries -TD
5215	+ add several missing vt420 capabilities from vt220 -TD
5216	+ factor out ansi+pp from several entries -TD
5217	+ change xterm+sl and xterm+sl-twm to include only the status-line
5218	  capabilities and not "use=xterm", making them more generally useful
5219	  as building-blocks -TD
5220	+ add dec+sl building block, as example -TD
5221
522220120414
5223	+ add XT to some terminfo entries to improve usefulness for other
5224	  applications than screen, which would like to pretend that xterm's
5225	  title is a status-line.  -TD
5226	+ change use-clauses in ansi-mtabs, hp2626, and hp2622 based on review
5227	  of ordering and overrides -TD
5228	+ add consistency check in tic for screen's "XT" capability.
5229	+ add section in terminfo.src summarizing the user-defined capabilities
5230	  used in that file -TD
5231
523220120407
5233	+ fix an inconsistency between tic/infocmp "-x" option; tic omits all
5234	  non-standard capabilities, while infocmp was ignoring only the user
5235	  definable capabilities.
5236	+ improve special case in tic parsing of description to allow it to be
5237	  followed by terminfo capabilities.  Previously the description had to
5238	  be the last field on an input line to allow tic to distinguish
5239	  between termcap and terminfo format while still allowing commas to be
5240	  embedded in the description.
5241	+ correct variable name in gen_edit.sh which broke configurability of
5242	  the --with-xterm-kbs option.
5243	+ revert 2011-07-16 change to "linux" alias, return to "linux2.2" -TD
5244	+ further amend 20110910 change, providing for configure-script
5245	  override of the "linux" terminfo entry to install and changing the
5246	  default for that to "linux2.2" (Debian #665959).
5247
524820120331
5249	+ update Ada95/configure to use CF_DISABLE_ECHO (cf: 20120317).
5250	+ correct order of use-clauses in st-256color -TD
5251	+ modify configure script to look for gnatgcc if the Ada95 binding
5252	  is built, in preference to the default gcc/cc (suggested by
5253	  Nicolas Boulenguez).
5254	+ modify configure script to ensure that the same -On option used for
5255	  the C compiler in CFLAGS is used for ADAFLAGS rather than simply
5256	  using "-O3" (suggested by Nicolas Boulenguez)
5257
525820120324
5259	+ amend an old fix so that next_char() exits properly for empty files,
5260	  e.g., from reading /dev/null (cf: 20080804).
5261	+ modify tic so that it can read from the standard input, or from
5262	  a character device.  Because tic uses seek's, this requires writing
5263	  the data to a temporary file first (prompted by remark by Sven
5264	  Joachim) (cf: 20000923).
5265
526620120317
5267	+ correct a check made in lib_napms.c, so that terminfo applications
5268	  can again use napms() (cf: 20110604).
5269	+ add a note in tic.h regarding required casts for ABSENT_BOOLEAN
5270	  (cf: 20040327).
5271	+ correct scripting for --disable-echo option in test/configure.
5272	+ amend check for missing c++ compiler to work when no error is
5273	  reported, and no variables set (cf: 20021206).
5274	+ add/use configure macro CF_DISABLE_ECHO.
5275
527620120310
5277	+ fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits.
5278	+ use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303).
5279	+ improve a limit-check in infocmp.c (Werner Fink):
5280
528120120303
5282	+ minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation
5283	  regarding mapping of \0 to \200
5284	+ minor improvement to _nc_copy_termtype(), using memcpy to replace
5285	  loops.
5286	+ fix no-leaks checking in test/demo_termcap.c to account for multiple
5287	  calls to setupterm().
5288	+ modified the libgpm change to show previous load as a problem in the
5289	  debug-trace.
5290	> merge some patches from OpenSUSE rpm (Werner Fink):
5291	+ ncurses-5.7-printw.dif, fixes for varargs handling in lib_printw.c
5292	+ ncurses-5.7-gpm.dif, do not dlopen libgpm if already loaded by
5293	  runtime linker
5294	+ ncurses-5.6-fallback.dif, do not free arrays and strings from static
5295	  fallback entries
5296
529720120228
5298	+ fix breakage in tic/infocmp from 20120225 (report by Werner Fink).
5299
530020120225
5301	+ modify configure script to allow creating dll's for MinGW when
5302	  cross-compiling.
5303	+ add --enable-string-hacks option to control whether strlcat and
5304	  strlcpy may be used.  The same issue applies to OpenBSD's warnings
5305	  about snprintf, noting that this function is weakly standardized.
5306	+ add configure checks for strlcat, strlcpy and snprintf, to help
5307	  reduce bogus warnings with OpenBSD builds.
5308	+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 to supply consistent intptr_t declaration
5309	  (cf:20111231)
5310	+ update config.guess, config.sub
5311
531220120218
5313	+ correct CF_ETIP_DEFINES configure macro, making it exit properly on
5314	  the first success (patch by Pierre Labastie).
5315	+ improve configure macro CF_MKSTEMP by moving existence-check for
5316	  mkstemp out of the AC_TRY_RUN, to help with cross-compiles.
5317	+ improve configure macro CF_FUNC_POLL from luit changes to detect
5318	  broken implementations, e.g., with Mac OS X.
5319	+ add configure option --with-tparm-arg
5320	+ build-fix for MinGW cross-compiling, so that make_hash does not
5321	  depend on TTY definition (cf: 20111008).
5322
532320120211
5324	+ make sgr for xterm-pcolor agree with other caps -TD
5325	+ make sgr for att5425 agree with other caps -TD
5326	+ make sgr for att630 agree with other caps -TD
5327	+ make sgr for linux entries agree with other caps -TD

5332	+ make sgr for aaa-60-dec-rv, aaa+dec agree with other caps -TD
5333	+ make sgr for cygwin, cygwinDBG agree with other caps -TD
5334	+ add configure option --with-xterm-kbs to simplify configuration for
5335	  Linux versus most other systems.
5336
533720120204
5338	+ improved tic -D option, avoid making target directory and provide
5339	  better diagnostics.
5340
534120120128
5342	+ add mach-gnu (Debian #614316, patch by Samuel Thibault)
5343	+ add mach-gnu-color, tweaks to mach-gnu terminfo -TD
5344	+ make sgr for sun-color agree with smso -TD
5345	+ make sgr for prism9 agree with other caps -TD
5346	+ make sgr for icl6404 agree with other caps -TD
5347	+ make sgr for ofcons agree with other caps -TD
5348	+ make sgr for att5410v1, att4415, att620 agree with other caps -TD
5349	+ make sgr for aaa-unk, aaa-rv agree with other caps -TD
5350	+ make sgr for avt-ns agree with other caps -TD
5351	+ amend fix intended to separate fixups for acsc to allow "tic -cv" to
5352	  give verbose warnings (cf:  20110730).
5353	+ modify misc/gen-edit.sh to make the location of the tabset directory
5354	  consistent with misc/Makefile.in, i.e., using ${datadir}/tabset
5355	  (Debian #653435, patch by Sven Joachim).
5356
535720120121
5358	+ add --with-lib-prefix option to allow configuring for old/new flavors
5359	  of OS/2 EMX.
5360	+ modify check for gnat version to allow for year, as used in FreeBSD
5361	  port.
5362	+ modify check_existence() in db_iterator.c to simply check if the
5363	  path is a directory or file, according to the need.  Checking for
5364	  directory size also gives no usable result with OS/2 (cf: 20120107).
5365	+ support OS/2 kLIBC (patch by KO Myung-Hun).
5366
536720120114
5368	+ several improvements to test/movewindow.c (prompted by discussion on
5369	  Linux Mint forum):
5370	  + modify movement commands to make them continuous
5371	  + rewrote the test for mvderwin
5372	  + rewrote the test for recursive mvwin
5373	+ split-out reusable CF_WITH_NCURSES_ETC macro in test/configure.in
5374	+ updated configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, build-fixes for Mac OS X
5375	  and OpenBSD.
5376	+ regenerated html manpages.
5377
537820120107
5379	+ various improvements for MinGW (Juergen Pfeifer):
5380	  + modify stat() calls to ignore the st_size member
5381	  + drop mk-dlls.sh script.
5382	  + change recommended regular expression library.
5383	  + modify rain.c to allow for threaded configuration.
5384	  + modify tset.c to allow for case when size-change logic is not used.
5385
538620111231
5387	+ modify toe's report when -a and -s options are combined, to add
5388	  a column showing which entries belong to a given database.
5389	+ add -s option to toe, to sort its output.
5390	+ modify progs/toe.c, simplifying use of db-iterator results to use
5391	  caching improvements from 20111001 and 20111126.
5392	+ correct generation of pc-files when ticlib or termlib options are
5393	  given to rename the corresponding tic- or tinfo-libraries (report
5394	  by Sven Joachim).
5395
539620111224
5397	+ document a portability issue with tput, i.e., that scripts which work
5398	  with ncurses may fail in other implementations that do no parameter
5399	  analysis.
5400	+ add putty-sco entry -TD
5401
540220111217
5403	+ review/fix places in manpages where --program-prefix configure option
5404	  was not being used.
5405	+ add -D option to infocmp, to show the database locations that it
5406	  could use.
5407	+ fix build for the special case where term-driver, ticlib and termlib
5408	  are all enabled.  The terminal driver depends on a few features in
5409	  the base ncurses library, so tic's dependencies include both ncurses
5410	  and termlib.
5411	+ fix build work for term-driver when --enable-wgetch-events option is
5412	  enabled.
5413	+ use <stdint.h> types to fix some questionable casts to void*.
5414
541520111210
5416	+ modify configure script to check if thread library provides
5417	  pthread_mutexattr_settype(), e.g., not provided by Solaris 2.6
5418	+ modify configure script to suppress check to define _XOPEN_SOURCE
5419	  for IRIX64, since its header files have a conflict versus
5420	  _SGI_SOURCE.
5421	+ modify configure script to add ".pc" files for tic- and
5422	  tinfo-libraries, which were omitted in recent change (cf: 20111126).
5423	+ fix inconsistent checks on $PKG_CONFIG variable in configure script.
5424
542520111203
5426	+ modify configure-check for etip.h dependencies, supplying a temporary
5427	  copy of ncurses_dll.h since it is a generated file (prompted by
5428	  Debian #646977).
5429	+ modify CF_CPP_PARAM_INIT "main" function to work with current C++.
5430
543120111126
5432	+ correct database iterator's check for duplicate entries
5433	  (cf: 20111001).
5434	+ modify database iterator to ignore $TERMCAP when it is not an
5435	  absolute pathname.
5436	+ add -D option to tic, to show the database locations that it could
5437	  use.
5438	+ improve description of database locations in tic manpage.
5439	+ modify the configure script to generate a list of the ".pc" files to
5440	  generate, rather than deriving the list from the libraries which have
5441	  been built (patch by Mike Frysinger).
5442	+ use AC_CHECK_TOOLS in preference to AC_PATH_PROGS when searching for
5443	  ncurses*-config, e.g., in Ada95/configure and test/configure (adapted
5444	  from patch by Mike Frysinger).
5445
544620111119
5447	+ remove obsolete/conflicting fallback definition for _POSIX_SOURCE
5448	  from curses.priv.h, fixing a regression with IRIX64 and Tru64
5449	  (cf: 20110416)
5450	+ modify _nc_tic_dir() to ensure that its return-value is nonnull,
5451	  i.e., the database iterator was not initialized.  This case is needed
5452	  to when tic is translating to termcap, rather than loading the
5453	  database (cf:  20111001).
5454
545520111112
5456	+ add pccon entries for OpenBSD console (Alexei Malinin).
5457	+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 with gcc 4.2.1, setting _XOPEN_SOURCE to
5458	  600 to work around inconsistent ifdef'ing of wcstof between C and
5459	  C++ header files.
5460	+ modify capconvert script to accept more than exact match on "xterm",
5461	  e.g., the "xterm-*" variants, to exclude from the conversion (patch
5462	  by Robert Millan).
5463	+ add -lc_r as alternative for -lpthread, allows build of threaded code
5464	  in older FreeBSD machines.
5465	+ build-fix for MirBSD, which fails when either _XOPEN_SOURCE or
5466	  _POSIX_SOURCE are defined.
5467	+ fix a typo misc/Makefile.in, used in uninstalling pc-files.
5468
546920111030
5470	+ modify make_db_path() to allow creating "terminfo.db" in the same
5471	  directory as an existing "terminfo" directory.  This fixes a case
5472	  where switching between hashed/filesystem databases would cause the
5473	  new hashed database to be installed in the next best location -
5474	  root's home directory.
5475	+ add variable cf_cv_prog_gnat_correct to those passed to
5476	  config.status, fixing a problem with Ada95 builds (cf: 20111022).
5477	+ change feature test from _XPG5 to _XOPEN_SOURCE in two places, to
5478	  accommodate broken implementations for _XPG6.
5479	+ eliminate usage of NULL symbol from etip.h, to reduce header
5480	  interdependencies.
5481	+ add configure check to decide when to add _XOPEN_SOURCE define to
5482	  compiler options, i.e., for Solaris 10 and later (cf: 20100403).
5483	  This is a workaround for gcc 4.6, which fails to build the c++
5484	  binding if that symbol is defined by the application, due to
5485	  incorrectly combining the corresponding feature test macros
5486	  (report by Peter Kruse).
5487
548820111022
5489	+ correct logic for discarding mouse events, retaining the partial
5490	  events used to build up click, double-click, etc, until needed
5491	  (cf: 20110917).
5492	+ fix configure script to avoid creating unused Ada95 makefile when
5493	  gnat does not work.
5494	+ cleanup width-related gcc 3.4.3 warnings for 64-bit platform, for the
5495	  internal functions of libncurses.  The external interface of courses
5496	  uses bool, which still produces these warnings.
5497
549820111015
5499	+ improve description of --disable-tic-depends option to make it
5500	  clear that it may be useful whether or not the --with-termlib
5501	  option is also given (report by Sven Joachim).
5502	+ amend termcap equivalent for set_pglen_inch to use the X/Open
5503	  "YI" rather than the obsolete Solaris 2.5 "sL" (cf: 990109).
5504	+ improve manpage for tgetent differences from termcap library.
5505
550620111008
5507	+ moved static data from db_iterator.c to lib_data.c
5508	+ modify db_iterator.c for memory-leak checking, fix one leak.
5509	+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to use Requires.private for the parts
5510	  of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the
5511	  other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728).
5512
551320111001
5514	+ modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force
5515	  source-output.  That allows the same flag to control the parser for
5516	  input and output of termcap source.
5517	+ modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line,
5518	  making it consistent with ncurses' parser.
5519	+ restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap
5520	  text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924).
5521	+ modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the
5522	  conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is
5523	  normally following in the source file.  Also improved the warning
5524	  message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem.
5525	+ improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list.
5526
552720110925
5528	+ add a missing "else" in changes to _nc_read_tic_entry().
5529
553020110924
5531	+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() so that hashed-database is checked before
5532	  filesystem.
5533	+ updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
5534	+ modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
5535	  TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
5536	  to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick
5537	  Alcock aka "Nix").
5538	+ build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (cf: 20110917).
5539
554020110917
5541	+ fix compiler warning for clang 2.9
5542	+ improve merging of mouse events (integrated patch by Damien
5543	  Guibouret).
5544	+ correct mask-check used in lib_mouse for wheel mouse buttons 4/5
5545	  (patch by Damien Guibouret).
5546
554720110910
5548	+ modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with
5549	  the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0"
5550	  (cf: 20110716).
5551	+ revert a change to getmouse() which had the undesirable side-effect
5552	  of suppressing button-release events (report by Damien Guibouret,
5553	  cf: 20100102).
5554	+ add xterm+kbs fragment from xterm #272 -TD
5555	+ add configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir to provide control over
5556	  the actual directory into which pc-files are installed, do not use
5557	  the pkg-config environment variables (discussion with Frederic L W
5558	  Meunier).
5559	+ add link to mailing-list archive in announce.html.in, as done in
5560	  FAQ (prompted by question by Andrius Bentkus).
5561	+ improve manpage install by adjusting the "#include" examples to
5562	  show the ncurses-subdirectory used when --disable-overwrite option
5563	  is used.
5564	+ install an alias for "curses" to the ncurses manpage, tied to the
5565	  --with-curses-h configure option (suggested by Reuben Thomas).
5566
556720110903
5568	+ propagate error-returns from wresize, i.e., the internal
5569	  increase_size and decrease_size functions through resize_term (report
5570	  by Tim van der Molen, cf:  20020713).
5571	+ fix typo in tset manpage (patch by Sven Joachim).
5572
557320110820
5574	+ add a check to ensure that termcap files which might have "^?" do
5575	  not use the terminfo interpretation as "\177".
5576	+ minor cleanup of X-terminal emulator section of terminfo.src -TD
5577	+ add terminator entry -TD
5578	+ add simpleterm entry -TD
5579	+ improve wattr_get macros by ensuring that if the window pointer is
5580	  null, then the attribute and color values returned will be zero
5581	  (cf: 20110528).
5582
558320110813
5584	+ add substitution for $RPATH_LIST to misc/ncurses-config.in
5585	+ improve performance of tic with hashed-database by caching the
5586	  database connection, using atexit() to cleanup.
5587	+ modify treatment of 2-character aliases at the beginning of termcap
5588	  entries so they are not counted in use-resolution, since these are
5589	  guaranteed to be unique.  Also ignore these aliases when reporting
5590	  the primary name of the entry (cf: 20040501)
5591	+ double-check gn (generic) flag in terminal descriptions to
5592	  accommodate old/buggy termcap databases which misused that feature.
5593	+ minor fixes to _nc_tgetent(), ensure buffer is initialized even on
5594	  error-return.
5595
559620110807
5597	+ improve rpath fix from 20110730 by ensuring that the new $RPATH_LIST
5598	  variable is defined in the makefiles which use it.
5599	+ build-fix for DragonFlyBSD's pkgsrc in test/configure script.
5600	+ build-fixes for NetBSD 5.1 with termcap support enabled.
5601	+ corrected k9 in dg460-ansi, add other features based on manuals -TD
5602	+ improve trimming of whitespace at the end of terminfo/termcap output
5603	  from tic/infocmp.
5604	+ when writing termcap source, ensure that colons in the description
5605	  field are translated to a non-delimiter, i.e., "=".
5606	+ add "-0" option to tic/infocmp, to make the termcap/terminfo source
5607	  use a single line.
5608	+ add a null-pointer check when handling the $CC variable.
5609
561020110730
5611	+ modify configure script and makefiles in c++ and progs to allow the
5612	  directory used for rpath option to be overridden, e.g., to work
5613	  around updates to the variables used by tic during an install.
5614	+ add -K option to tic/infocmp, to provide stricter BSD-compatibility
5615	  for termcap output.
5616	+ add _nc_strict_bsd variable in tic library which controls the
5617	  "strict" BSD termcap compatibility from 20110723, plus these
5618	  features:
5619	  + allow escapes such as "\8" and "\9" when reading termcap
5620	  + disallow "\a", "\e", "\l", "\s" and "\:" escapes when reading
5621	    termcap files, passing through "a", "e", etc.
5622	  + expand "\:" as "\072" on output.
5623	+ modify _nc_get_token() to reset the token's string value in case
5624	  there is a string-typed token lacking the "=" marker.
5625	+ fix a few memory leaks in _nc_tgetent.
5626	+ fix a few places where reading from a termcap file could refer to
5627	  freed memory.
5628	+ add an overflow check when converting terminfo/termcap numeric
5629	  values, since terminfo stores those in a short, and they must be
5630	  positive.
5631	+ correct internal variables used for translating to termcap "%>"
5632	  feature, and translating from termcap %B to terminfo, needed by
5633	  tctest (cf: 19991211).
5634	+ amend a minor fix to acsc when loading a termcap file to separate it
5635	  from warnings needed for tic (cf: 20040710)
5636	+ modify logic in _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_tic_entry() to allow
5637	  a termcap file to be handled via TERMINFO_DIRS.
5638	+ modify _nc_infotocap() to include non-mandatory padding when
5639	  translating to termcap.
5640	+ modify _nc_read_termcap_entry(), passing a flag in the case where
5641	  getcap is used, to reduce interactive warning messages.
5642
564320110723
5644	+ add a check in start_color() to limit color-pairs to 256 when
5645	  extended colors are not supported (patch by David Benjamin).
5646	+ modify setcchar to omit no-longer-needed OR'ing of color pair in
5647	  the SetAttr() macro (patch by David Benjamin).
5648	+ add kich1 to sun terminfo entry (Yuri Pankov)
5649	+ use bold rather than reverse for smso in sun-color terminfo entry
5650	  (Yuri Pankov).
5651	+ improve generation of termcap using tic/infocmp -C option, e.g.,
5652	  to correspond with 4.2BSD (prompted by discussion with Yuri Pankov
5653	  regarding Schilling's test program):
5654	  + translate %02 and %03 to %2 and %3 respectively.
5655	  + suppress string capabilities which use %s, not supported by tgoto
5656	  + use \040 rather than \s
5657	  + expand null characters as \200 rather than \0
5658	+ modify configure script to support shared libraries for DragonFlyBSD.
5659
566020110716
5661	+ replace an assert() in _nc_Free_Argument() with a regular null
5662	  pointer check (report/analysis by Franjo Ivancic).
5663	+ modify configure --enable-pc-files option to take into account the
5664	  PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
5665	+ add/use xterm+tmux chunk from xterm #271 -TD
5666	+ resync xterm-new entry from xterm #271 -TD
5667	+ add E3 extended capability to linux-basic (Miroslav Lichvar)
5668	+ add linux2.2, linux2.6, linux3.0 entries to give context for E3 -TD
5669	+ add SI/SO change to linux2.6 entry (Debian #515609) -TD
5670	+ fix inconsistent tabset path in pcmw (Todd C. Miller).
5671	+ remove a backslash which continued comment, obscuring altos3
5672	  definition with OpenBSD toolset (Nicholas Marriott).
5673
567420110702
5675	+ add workaround from xterm #271 changes to ensure that compiler flags
5676	  are not used in the $CC variable.
5677	+ improve support for shared libraries, tested with AIX 5.3, 6.1 and
5678	  7.1 with both gcc 4.2.4 and cc.
5679	+ modify configure checks for AIX to include release 7.x
5680	+ add loader flags/libraries to libtool options so that dynamic loading
5681	  works properly, adapted from ncurses-5.7-ldflags-with-libtool.patch
5682	  at gentoo prefix repository (patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
5683
568420110626
5685	+ move include of nc_termios.h out of term_entry.h, since the latter
5686	  is installed, e.g., for tack while the former is not (report by
5687	  Sven Joachim).
5688
568920110625
5690	+ improve cleanup() function in lib_tstp.c, using _exit() rather than
5691	  exit() and checking for SIGTERM rather than SIGQUIT (prompted by
5692	  comments forwarded by Nicholas Marriott).
5693	+ reduce name pollution from term.h, moving fallback #define's for
5694	  tcgetattr(), etc., to new private header nc_termios.h (report by
5695	  Sergio NNX).
5696	+ two minor fixes for tracing (patch by Vassili Courzakis).
5697	+ improve trace initialization by starting it in use_env() and
5698	  ripoffline().
5699	+ review old email, add details for some changelog entries.
5700
570120110611
5702	+ update minix entry to minix 3.2 (Thomas Cort).
5703	+ fix a strict compiler warning in change to wattr_get (cf: 20110528).
5704
570520110604
5706	+ fixes for MirBSD port:
5707	  + set default prefix to /usr.
5708	  + add support for shared libraries in configure script.
5709	  + use S_ISREG and S_ISDIR consistently, with fallback definitions.
5710	+ add a few more checks based on ncurses/link_test.
5711	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle sp-funcs renaming of NCURSES_OUTC type.
5712
571320110528
5714	+ add case to CF_SHARED_OPTS for Interix (patch by Markus Duft).
5715	+ used ncurses/link_test to check for behavior when the terminal has
5716	  not been initialized and when an application passes null pointers
5717	  to the library.  Added checks to cover this (prompted by Redhat
5718	  #707344).
5719	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to make its main() function call each function
5720	  with zero parameters, to help find inconsistent checking for null
5721	  pointers, etc.
5722
572320110521
5724	+ fix warnings from clang 2.7 "--analyze"
5725
572620110514
5727	+ compiler-warning fixes in panel and progs.
5728	+ modify CF_PKG_CONFIG macro, from changes to tin -TD
5729	+ modify CF_CURSES_FUNCS configure macro, used in test directory
5730	  configure script:
5731	  + work around (non-optimizer) bug in gcc 4.2.1 which caused
5732	    test-expression to be omitted from executable.
5733	  + force the linker to see a link-time expression of a symbol, to
5734	    help work around weak-symbol issues.
5735
573620110507
5737	+ update discussion of MKfallback.sh script in INSTALL; normally the
5738	  script is used automatically via the configured makefiles.  However
5739	  there are still occasions when it might be used directly by packagers
5740	  (report by Gunter Schaffler).
5741	+ modify misc/ncurses-config.in to omit the "-L" option from the
5742	  "--libs" output if the library directory is /usr/lib.
5743	+ change order of tests for curses.h versus ncurses.h headers in the
5744	  configure scripts for Ada95 and test-directories, to look for
5745	  ncurses.h, from fixes to tin -TD
5746	+ modify ncurses/tinfo/access.c to account for Tandem's root uid
5747	  (report by Joachim Schmitz).
5748
574920110430
5750	+ modify rules in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to ensure that the PIC option
5751	  is not used when building a static library (report by Nicolas
5752	  Boulenguez):
5753	+ Ada95 build-fix for big-endian architectures such as sparc.  This
5754	  undoes one of the fixes from 20110319, which added an "Unused" member
5755	  to representation clauses, replacing that with pragmas to suppress
5756	  warnings about unused bits (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
5757
575820110423
5759	+ add check in test/configure for use_window, use_screen.
5760	+ add configure-checks for getopt's variables, which may be declared
5761	  as different types on some Unix systems.
5762	+ add check in test/configure for some legacy curses types of the
5763	  function pointer passed to tputs().
5764	+ modify init_pair() to accept -1's for color value after
5765	  assume_default_colors() has been called (Debian #337095).
5766	+ modify test/background.c, adding command-line options to demonstrate
5767	  assume_default_colors() and use_default_colors().
5768
576920110416
5770	+ modify configure script/source-code to only define _POSIX_SOURCE if
5771	  the checks for sigaction and/or termios fail, and if _POSIX_C_SOURCE
5772	  and _XOPEN_SOURCE are undefined (report by Valentin Ochs).
5773	+ update config.guess, config.sub
5774
577520110409
5776	+ fixes to build c++ binding with clang 3.0 (patch by Alexander
5777	  Kolesen).
5778	+ add check for unctrl.h in test/configure, to work around breakage in
5779	  some ncurses packages.
5780	+ add "--disable-widec" option to test/configure script.
5781	+ add "--with-curses-colr" and "--with-curses-5lib" options to the
5782	  test/configure script to address testing with very old machines.
5783
578420110404 5.9 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
5785
578620110402
5787	+ various build-fixes for the rpm/dpkg scripts.
5788	+ add "--enable-rpath-link" option to Ada95/configure, to allow
5789	  packages to suppress the rpath feature which is normally used for
5790	  the in-tree build of sample programs.
5791	+ corrected definition of libdir variable in Ada95/src/Makefile.in,
5792	  needed for rpm script.
5793	+ add "--with-shared" option to Ada95/configure script, to allow
5794	  making the C-language parts of the binding use appropriate compiler
5795	  options if building a shared library with gnat.
5796
579720110329
5798	> portability fixes for Ada95 binding:
5799	+ add configure check to ensure that SIGINT works with gnat.  This is
5800	  needed for the "rain" sample program.  If SIGINT does not work, omit
5801	  that sample program.
5802	+ correct typo in check of $PKG_CONFIG variable in Ada95/configure
5803	+ add ncurses_compat.c, to supply functions used in the Ada95 binding
5804	  which were added in 5.7 and later.
5805	+ modify sed expression in CF_NCURSES_ADDON to eliminate a dependency
5806	  upon GNU sed.
5807

5818	  libraries, i.e., collections of .ali files.
5819	+ make all dereferences in Ada95 samples explicit.
5820	+ fix typo in comment in lib_add_wch.c (patch by Petr Pavlu).

5836	+ modify configure script to provide value for HTML_DIR in
5837	  Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, which depends on whether the Ada95 binding is
5838	  distributed separately (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
5839	+ modify configure script to add "-g" and/or "-O3" to ADAFLAGS if the
5840	  CFLAGS for the build has these options.
5841	+ amend change from 20070324, to not add 1 to the result of getmaxx
5842	  and getmaxy in the Ada binding (report by Nicolas Boulenguez for
5843	  thread in comp.lang.ada).
5844	+ build-fix Ada95/samples for gnat 4.5
5845	+ spelling fixes for Ada95/samples/explain.txt
5846	> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
5847	+ add item in Trace_Attribute_Set corresponding to TRACE_ATTRS.
5848	+ add workaround for binding to set_field_type(), which uses varargs.
5849	  The original binding from 990220 relied on the prevalent
5850	  implementation of varargs which did not support or need va_copy().
5851	+ add dependency on gen/Makefile.in needed for *-panels.ads
5852	+ add Library_Options to library.gpr
5853	+ add Languages to library.gpr, for gprbuild

5977	  rpath feature (request by Sven Joachim).
5978	+ repurpose "gnome" terminfo entries as "vte", retaining "gnome" items
5979	  for compatibility, but generally deprecating those since the VTE
5980	  library is what actually defines the behavior of "gnome", etc.,
5981	  since 2003 -TD

6001	  more closely match the non-thread naming (report by Werner Fink).
6002	+ modify configure check for tic program, used for fallbacks, to a
6003	  warning if not found.  This makes it simpler to use additional

6005	  tree (report by Werner Fink).
6006	+ fix several places in configure script using ${variable-value} form.

6030	  Sven Joachim).
6031	+ add parameterized cursor-controls to linux-basic (report by Dae) -TD
6032	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6033	+ document how to build 32-bit libraries in README.MinGW
6034	+ fixes to filename computation in mk-dlls.sh.in
6035	+ use POSIX locale in mk-dlls.sh.in rather than en_US (report by Sven
6036	  Joachim).
6037	+ add a check in mk-dlls.sh.in to obtain the size of a pointer to
6038	  distinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit hosts.  The result is stored
6039	  in mingw_arch
6040
604120100925
6042	+ add "XT" capability to entries for terminals that support both
6043	  xterm-style mouse- and title-controls, for "screen" which

6070	+ modify nsterm, xnuppc and tek4115 to make sgr/sgr0 consistent -TD
6071	+ add check in terminfo source-reader to provide more informative
6072	  message when someone attempts to run tic on a compiled terminal
6073	  description (prompted by Debian #593920).
6074	+ note in infotocap and captoinfo manpages that they read terminal
6075	  descriptions from text-files (Debian #593920).
6076	+ improve acsc string for vt52, show arrow keys (patch by Benjamin
6077	  Sittler).
6078
607920100814
6080	+ document in manpages that "mv" functions first use wmove() to check

6112	+ add a check in tic for missing set_tab if clear_all_tabs given.
6113	+ improve use of symbolic links in makefiles by using "-f" option if
6114	  it is supported, to eliminate temporary removal of the target
6115	  (prompted by http://www.t2-project.org/packages/ncurses.html)
6116	+ minor improvement to test/ncurses.c, reset color pairs in 'd' test

6125	  Ada95 binding is now installed using rules in Ada95/src.
6126
612720100703
6128	+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
6129	  + add/use configure check to turn on project rules for Ada95/src.

6136
613720100619
6138	+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
6139	  + add configure --with-ada-sharedlib option, for the test_make rule.
6140	  + move Ada95-related logic into aclocal.m4, since additional checks

6142
614320100612
6144	+ start integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95 tree
6145	  + add test_make / test_clean / test_install rules in Ada95/src
6146	  + change install-path for adainclude directory to /usr/share/ada (was

6148	+ update Ada95/configure.
6149	+ add mlterm+256color entry, for mlterm 3.0.0 -TD
6150	+ modify test/configure to use macros to ensure consistent order
6151	  of updating LIBS variable.
6152
615320100605
6154	+ change search order of options for Solaris in CF_SHARED_OPTS, to

6167
616820100522
6169	+ correct cross-compiling configure check for CF_MKSTEMP macro, by
6170	  adding a check cache variable set by AC_CHECK_FUNC (report by
6171	  Pierre Labastie).
6172	+ simplify include-dependencies of make_hash and make_keys, to reduce
6173	  the need for setting BUILD_CPPFLAGS in cross-compiling when the
6174	  build- and target-machines differ.

6183	  new EINTR feature is enabled.
6184	+ modify logic in pthread configuration to allow EINTR to interrupt
6185	  a read operation in wgetch() (Novell #540571, patch by Werner Fink).
6186	+ drop mkdirs.sh, use "mkdir -p".
6187	+ add configure option --disable-libtool-version, to use the
6188	  "-version-number" feature which was added in libtool 1.5 (report by
6189	  Peter Haering).  The default value for the option uses the newer
6190	  feature, which makes libraries generated using libtool compatible
6191	  with the standard builds of ncurses.
6192	+ updated test/configure to match configure script macros.
6193	+ fixes for configure script from lynx changes:
6194	  + improve CF_FIND_LINKAGE logic for the case where a function is

6200	  (patch by David Benjamin).
6201	+ fix most compiler warnings from clang.
6202	+ amend build-fix for OpenSolaris, to ensure that a system header is
6203	  included in curses.h before testing feature symbols, since they
6204	  may be defined by that route.
6205
620620100424
6207	+ fix some strict compiler warnings in ncurses library.
6208	+ modify configure macro CF_HEADER_PATH to not look for variations in
6209	  the predefined include directories.
6210	+ improve configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GCC_WARNINGS to work
6211	  with gcc 4.x's c89 alias, which gives warning messages for cases
6212	  where older versions would produce an error.
6213
621420100417
6215	+ modify _nc_capcmp() to work with cancelled strings.
6216	+ correct translation of "^" in _nc_infotocap(), used to transform
6217	  terminfo to termcap strings
6218	+ add configure --disable-rpath-hack, to allow disabling the feature
6219	  which adds rpath options for libraries in unusual places.
6220	+ improve CF_RPATH_HACK_2 by checking if the rpath option for a given
6221	  directory was already added.
6222	+ improve CF_RPATH_HACK_2 by using ldd to provide a standard list of
6223	  directories (which will be ignored).
6224
622520100410
6226	+ improve win_driver.c handling of mouse:
6227	  + discard motion events
6228	  + avoid calling _nc_timed_wait when there is a mouse event
6229	  + handle 4th and "rightmost" buttons.
6230	+ quote substitutions in CF_RPATH_HACK_2 configure macro, needed for
6231	  cases where there are embedded blanks in the rpath option.
6232
623320100403
6234	+ add configure check for exctags vs ctags, to work around pkgsrc.
6235	+ simplify logic in _nc_get_screensize() to make it easier to see how
6236	  environment variables may override system- and terminfo-values
6237	  (prompted by discussion with Igor Bujna).
6238	+ make debug-traces for COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER less verbose.
6239	+ improve handling of color-pairs embedded in attributes for the
6240	  extended-colors configuration.
6241	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to build link_test with sp-funcs.
6242	+ build-fixes for OpenSolaris aka Solaris 11, for wide-character
6243	  configuration as well as for rpath feature in *-config scripts.
6244
624520100327
6246	+ refactor CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro, making CF_RPATH_HACK more
6247	  reusable.
6248	+ improve configure CF_REGEX, similar fixes.
6249	+ improve configure CF_FIND_LINKAGE, adding add check between system
6250	  (default) and explicit paths, where we can find the entrypoint in the
6251	  given library.
6252	+ add check if Gpm_Open() returns a -2, e.g., for "xterm".  This is
6253	  normally suppressed but can be overridden using $NCURSES_GPM_TERMS.
6254	  Ensure that Gpm_Close() is called in this case.
6255
625620100320
6257	+ rename atari and st52 terminfo entries to atari-old, st52-old, use
6258	  newer entries from FreeMiNT by Guido Flohr (from patch/report by Alan
6259	  Hourihane).
6260
626120100313
6262	+ modify install-rule for manpages so that *-config manpages will
6263	  install when building with --srcdir (report by Sven Joachim).
6264	+ modify CF_DISABLE_LEAKS configure macro so that the --enable-leaks
6265	  option is not the same as --disable-leaks (GenToo #305889).
6266	+ modify #define's for build-compiler to suppress cchar_t symbol from
6267	  compile of make_hash and make_keys, improving cross-compilation of
6268	  ncursesw (report by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
6269	+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to replace all occurrences of
6270	  TPUT in tput.1's manpage (Debian #573597, report/analysis by Anders
6271	  Kaseorg).
6272
627320100306
6274	+ generate manpages for the *-config scripts, adapted from help2man
6275	  (suggested by Sven Joachim).
6276	+ use va_copy() in _nc_printf_string() to avoid conflicting use of
6277	  va_list value in _nc_printf_length() (report by Wim Lewis).
6278
627920100227
6280	+ add Ada95/configure script, to use in tar-file created by
6281	  Ada95/make-tar.sh
6282	+ fix typo in wresize.3x (patch by Tim van der Molen).
6283	+ modify screen-bce.XXX entries to exclude ech, since screen's color
6284	  model does not clear with color for that feature -TD
6285
628620100220
6287	+ add make-tar.sh scripts to Ada95 and test subdirectories to help with
6288	  making those separately distributable.
6289	+ build-fix for static libraries without dlsym (Debian #556378).
6290	+ fix a syntax error in man/form_field_opts.3x (patch by Ingo
6291	  Schwarze).
6292

6294	+ add several screen-bce.XXX entries -TD
6295
629620100206
6297	+ update mrxvt terminfo entry -TD
6298	+ modify win_driver.c to support mouse single-clicks.
6299	+ correct name for termlib in ncurses*-config, e.g., if it is renamed
6300	  to provide a single file for ncurses/ncursesw libraries (patch by
6301	  Miroslav Lichvar).
6302
630320100130
6304	+ use vfork in test/ditto.c if available (request by Mike Frysinger).
6305	+ miscellaneous cleanup of manpages.
6306	+ fix typo in curs_bkgd.3x (patch by Tim van der Molen).
6307	+ build-fix for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
6308
630920100123
6310	+ for term-driver configuration, ensure that the driver pointer is
6311	  initialized in setupterm so that terminfo/termcap programs work.
6312	+ amend fix for Debian #542031 to ensure that wattrset() returns only
6313	  OK or ERR, rather than the attribute value (report by Miroslav
6314	  Lichvar).
6315	+ reorder WINDOWLIST to put WINDOW data after SCREEN pointer, making
6316	  _nc_screen_of() compatible between normal/wide libraries again (patch
6317	  by Miroslav Lichvar)
6318	+ review/fix include-dependencies in modules files (report by Miroslav
6319	  Lichvar).
6320
632120100116
6322	+ modify win_driver.c to initialize acs_map for win32 console, so
6323	  that line-drawing works.
6324	+ modify win_driver.c to initialize TERMINAL struct so that programs
6325	  such as test/lrtest.c and test/ncurses.c which test string
6326	  capabilities can run.
6327	+ modify term-driver modules to eliminate forward-reference
6328	  declarations.
6329
633020100109
6331	+ modify configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., to use CF_ADD_CFLAGS
6332	  consistently to add new -D's while removing duplicates.
6333	+ modify a few configure macros to consistently put new options
6334	  before older in the list.
6335	+ add tiparm(), based on review of X/Open Curses Issue 7.
6336	+ minor documentation cleanup.
6337	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
6338		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
6339	  (caveat - its maintainer put 2010 copyright date on files dated 2009)
6340
634120100102
6342	+ minor improvement to tic's checking of similar SGR's to allow for the
6343	  most common case of SGR 0.
6344	+ modify getmouse() to act as its documentation implied, returning on
6345	  each call the preceding event until none are left.  When no more
6346	  events remain, it will return ERR.
6347
634820091227
6349	+ change order of lookup in progs/tput.c, looking for terminfo data
6350	  first.  This fixes a confusion between termcap "sg" and terminfo
6351	  "sgr" or "sgr0", originally from 990123 changes, but exposed by
6352	  20091114 fixes for hashing.  With this change, only "dl" and "ed" are
6353	  ambiguous (Mandriva #56272).
6354
635520091226
6356	+ add bterm terminfo entry, based on bogl 0.1.18 -TD
6357	+ minor fix to rxvt+pcfkeys terminfo entry -TD
6358	+ build-fixes for Ada95 tree for gnat 4.4 "style".
6359
636020091219
6361	+ remove old check in mvderwin() which prevented moving a derived
6362	  window whose origin happened to coincide with its parent's origin
6363	  (report by Katarina Machalkova).
6364	+ improve test/ncurses.c to put mouse droppings in the proper window.
6365	+ update minix terminfo entry -TD
6366	+ add bw (auto-left-margin) to nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler)
6367
636820091212
6369	+ correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
6370	  field_buffer(), which stopped at the end of the first row due to
6371	  filling of unused entries in a cchar_t array with nulls.
6372	+ updated nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler, Emanuele Giaquinta)
6373	+ modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to show wide-character
6374	  nulls.
6375	+ use strdup() in set_menu_mark(), restore .marklen struct member on
6376	  failure.
6377	+ eliminate clause 3 from the UCB copyrights in read_termcap.c and
6378	  tset.c per
6379		ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change
6380	  (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
6381	+ replace a malloc in tic.c with strdup, checking for failure (patch by
6382	  Nicholas Marriott).
6383	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
6384		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
6385
638620091205
6387	+ correct layout of working window used to extract data in
6388	  wide-character configured by set_field_buffer (patch by Rafael
6389	  Garrido Fernandez)
6390	+ improve some limit-checks related to filename length in reading and
6391	  writing terminfo entries.
6392	+ ensure that filename is always filled in when attempting to read
6393	  a terminfo entry, so that infocmp can report the filename (patch
6394	  by Nicholas Marriott).
6395
639620091128
6397	+ modify mk-1st.awk to allow tinfo library to be built when term-driver
6398	  is enabled.
6399	+ add error-check to configure script to ensure that sp-funcs is
6400	  enabled if term-driver is, since some internal interfaces rely upon
6401	  this.
6402
640320091121
6404	+ fix case where progs/tput is used while sp-funcs is configure; this
6405	  requires save/restore of out-character function from _nc_prescreen
6406	  rather than the SCREEN structure (report by Charles Wilson).
6407	+ fix typo in man/curs_trace.3x which caused incorrect symbolic links
6408	+ improved configure macros CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_PROG_LINT.
6409
641020091114
6411	+ updated man/curs_trace.3x
6412	+ limit hashing for termcap-names to 2-characters (Ubuntu #481740).
6413	+ change a variable name in lib_newwin.c to make it clearer which
6414	  value is being freed on error (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
6415
641620091107
6417	+ improve test/ncurses.c color-cycling test by reusing attribute-
6418	  and color-cycling logic from the video-attributes screen.
6419	+ add ifdef'd with NCURSES_INTEROP_FUNCS experimental bindings in form
6420	  library which help make it compatible with interop applications
6421	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6422	+ add configure option --enable-interop, for integrating changes
6423	  for generic/interop support to form-library by Juergen Pfeifer
6424
642520091031
6426	+ modify use of $CC environment variable which is defined by X/Open
6427	  as a curses feature, to ignore it if it is not a single character
6428	  (prompted by discussion with Benjamin C W Sittler).
6429	+ add START_TRACE in slk_init
6430	+ fix a regression in _nc_ripoffline which made test/ncurses.c not show
6431	  soft-keys, broken in 20090927 merging.
6432	+ change initialization of "hidden" flag for soft-keys from true to
6433	  false, broken in 20090704 merging (Ubuntu #464274).
6434	+ update nsterm entries (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler, prompted by
6435	  discussion with Fabian Groffen in GenToo #206201).
6436	+ add test/xterm-256color.dat
6437
643820091024
6439	+ quiet some pedantic gcc warnings.
6440	+ modify _nc_wgetch() to check for a -1 in the fifo, e.g., after a
6441	  SIGWINCH, and discard that value, to avoid confusing application
6442	  (patch by Eygene Ryabinkin, FreeBSD #136223).
6443
644420091017
6445	+ modify handling of $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to use only the first item in
6446	  a possibly colon-separated list (Debian #550716).
6447
644820091010
6449	+ supply a null-terminator to buffer in _nc_viswibuf().
6450	+ fix a sign-extension bug in unget_wch() (report by Mike Gran).
6451	+ minor fixes to error-returns in default function for tputs, as well
6452	  as in lib_screen.c
6453
645420091003
6455	+ add WACS_xxx definitions to wide-character configuration for thick-
6456	  and double-lines (discussion with Slava Zanko).
6457	+ remove unnecessary kcan assignment to ^C from putty (Sven Joachim)
6458	+ add ccc and initc capabilities to xterm-16color -TD
6459	> patch by Benjamin C W Sittler:
6460	+ add linux-16color
6461	+ correct initc capability of linux-c-nc end-of-range
6462	+ similar change for dg+ccc and dgunix+ccc
6463
646420090927
6465	+ move leak-checking for comp_captab.c into _nc_leaks_tinfo() since
6466	  that module since 20090711 is in libtinfo.
6467	+ add configure option --enable-term-driver, to allow compiling with
6468	  terminal-driver.  That is used in MinGW port, and (being somewhat
6469	  more complicated) is an experimental alternative to the conventional
6470	  termlib internals.  Currently, it requires the sp-funcs feature to
6471	  be enabled.
6472	+ completed integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer in ncurses
6473	  library (some work remains for forms library).
6474
647520090919
6476	+ document return code from define_key (report by Mike Gran).
6477	+ make some symbolic links in the terminfo directory-tree shorter
6478	  (patch by Daniel Jacobowitz, forwarded by Sven Joachim).).
6479	+ fix some groff warnings in terminfo.5, etc., from recent Debian
6480	  changes.
6481	+ change ncv and op capabilities in sun-color terminfo entry to match
6482	  Sun's entry for this (report by Laszlo Peter).
6483	+ improve interix smso terminfo capability by using reverse rather than
6484	  bold (report by Kristof Zelechovski).
6485
648620090912
6487	+ add some test programs (and make these use the same special keys
6488	  by sharing linedata.h functions):
6489	  test/test_addstr.c
6490	  test/test_addwstr.c
6491	  test/test_addchstr.c
6492	  test/test_add_wchstr.c
6493	+ correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when
6494	  inserting wide characters, since the wins_wch() function that it used
6495	  did not update the cursor position (report by Ciprian Craciun).
6496
649720090906
6498	+ fix typo s/is_timeout/is_notimeout/ which made "man is_notimeout" not
6499	  work.
6500	+ add null-pointer checks to other opaque-functions.
6501	+ add is_pad() and is_subwin() functions for opaque access to WINDOW
6502	  (discussion with Mark Dickinson).
6503	+ correct merge to lib_newterm.c, which broke when sp-funcs was
6504	  enabled.
6505
650620090905
6507	+ build-fix for building outside source-tree (report by Sven Joachim).
6508	+ fix Debian lintian warning for man/tabs.1 by making section number
6509	  agree with file-suffix (report by Sven Joachim).
6510	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
6511
651220090829
6513	+ workaround for bug in g++ 4.1-4.4 warnings for wattrset() macro on
6514	  amd64 (Debian #542031).
6515	+ fix typo in curs_mouse.3x (Debian #429198).
6516
651720090822
6518	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
6519
652020090815
6521	+ correct use of terminfo capabilities for initializing soft-keys,
6522	  broken in 20090510 merging.
6523	+ modify wgetch() to ensure it checks SIGWINCH when it gets an error
6524	  in non-blocking mode (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
6525	+ use PATH_SEPARATOR symbol when substituting into run_tic.sh, to
6526	  help with builds on non-Unix platforms such as OS/2 EMX.
6527	+ modify scripting for misc/run_tic.sh to test configure script's
6528	  $cross_compiling variable directly rather than comparing host/build
6529	  compiler names (prompted by comment in GenToo #249363).
6530	+ fix configure script option --with-database, which was coded as an
6531	  enable-type switch.
6532	+ build-fixes for --srcdir (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
6533
653420090808
6535	+ separate _nc_find_entry() and _nc_find_type_entry() from
6536	  implementation details of hash function.
6537
653820090803
6539	+ add tabs.1 to man/man_db.renames
6540	+ modify lib_addch.c to compensate for removal of wide-character test
6541	  from unctrl() in 20090704 (Debian #539735).
6542
654320090801
6544	+ improve discussion in INSTALL for use of system's tic/infocmp for
6545	  cross-compiling and building fallbacks.
6546	+ modify test/demo_termcap.c to correspond better to options in
6547	  test/demo_terminfo.c
6548	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
6549	+ fix logic for 'V' in test/ncurses.c tests f/F.
6550
655120090728
6552	+ correct logic in tigetnum(), which caused tput program to treat all
6553	  string capabilities as numeric (report by Rajeev V Pillai,
6554	  cf: 20090711).
6555
655620090725

6561	  20090704 changes.
6562	+ modify _nc_find_type_entry() to use hashing.
6563	+ make CCHARW_MAX value configurable, noting that changing this would
6564	  change the size of cchar_t, and would be ABI-incompatible.
6565	+ modify test-programs, e.g,.  test/view.c, to address subtle
6566	  differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX getcchar() return
6567	  values.
6568	+ modify length returned by getcchar() to count the trailing null
6569	  which is documented in X/Open (cf: 20020427).
6570	+ fixes for test programs to build/work on HPUX and AIX, etc.
6571
657220090711
6573	+ improve performance of tigetstr, etc., by using hashing code from tic.

6576
657720090704
6578	+ remove wide-character checks from unctrl() (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
6579	+ revise wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to eliminate dependency on

6613	  SCREEN's copy of the pointer (Debian #528411).
6614	+ add a cast to wattrset macro to avoid compiler warning when comparing
6615	  its result against ERR (adapted from patch by Matt Kraii, Debian
6616	  #528374).
6617
661820090510

6634
663520090411
6636	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
6637	  This change finishes merging for menu and panel libraries, does
6638	  part of the form library.
6639
664020090404
6641	+ suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on
6642	  Darwin (report by Nelson Beebe).
6643
664420090328
6645	+ extend ansi.sys pfkey capability from kf1-kf10 to kf1-kf48, moving
6646	  function key definitions from emx-base for consistency -TD
6647	+ correct missing final 'p' in pfkey capability of ansi.sys-old (report
6648	  by Kalle Olavi Niemitalo).
6649	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'F' test, show combining characters in color.
6650	+ quiet a false report by cppcheck in c++/cursesw.cc by eliminating
6651	  a temporary variable.
6652	+ use _nc_doalloc() rather than realloc() in a few places in ncurses
6653	  library to avoid leak in out-of-memory condition (reports by William
6654	  Egert and Martin Ettl based on cppcheck tool).
6655	+ add --with-ncurses-wrap-prefix option to test/configure (discussion
6656	  with Charles Wilson).
6657	+ use ncurses*-config scripts if available for test/configure.
6658	+ update test/aclocal.m4 and test/configure
6659	> patches by Charles Wilson:
6660	+ modify CF_WITH_LIBTOOL configure check to allow unreleased libtool
6661	  version numbers (e.g.  which include alphabetic chars, as well as
6662	  digits, after the final '.').
6663	+ improve use of -no-undefined option for libtool by setting an
6664	  intermediate variable LT_UNDEF in the configure script, and then
6665	  using that in the libtool link-commands.
6666	+ fix an missing use of NCURSES_PUBLIC_VAR() in tinfo/MKcodes.awk
6667	  from 20090321 changes.
6668	+ improve mk-1st.awk script by writing separate cases for the
6669	  LIBTOOL_LINK command, depending on which library (ncurses, ticlib,
6670	  termlib) is to be linked.
6671	+ modify configure.in to allow broken-linker configurations, not just
6672	  enable-reentrant, to set public wrap prefix.
6673
667420090321
6675	+ add TICS_LIST and SHLIB_LIST to allow libtool 2.2.6 on Cygwin to
6676	  build with tic and term libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).
6677	+ add -no-undefined option to libtool for Cygwin, MinGW, U/Win and AIX
6678	  (report by Charles Wilson).
6679	+ fix definition for c++/Makefile.in's SHLIB_LIST, which did not list
6680	  the form, menu or panel libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).
6681	+ add configure option --with-wrap-prefix to allow setting the prefix
6682	  for functions used to wrap global variables to something other than
6683	  "_nc_" (discussion with Charles Wilson).
6684
668520090314
6686	+ modify scripts to generate ncurses*-config and pc-files to add
6687	  dependency for tinfo library (patch by Charles Wilson).
6688	+ improve comparison of program-names when checking for linked flavors
6689	  such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix (reports by Charles
6690	  Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing
6691	  list).
6692	+ suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on
6693	  Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static libc, and
6694	  does not switch back to dynamic mode before finishing the libraries
6695	  (reports by Joel Bertrand, Alan Pae).
6696	+ minor fixes to Intel compiler warning checks in configure script.
6697	+ modify _nc_leaks_tinfo() so leak-checking in test/railroad.c works.
6698	+ modify set_curterm() to make broken-linker configuration work with
6699	  changes from 20090228 (report by Charles Wilson).
6700
670120090228
6702	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
6703	+ modify declaration of cur_term when broken-linker is used, but
6704	  enable-reentrant is not, to match pre-5.7 (report by Charles Wilson).
6705
670620090221
6707	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
6708
670920090214
6710	+ add configure script --enable-sp-funcs to enable the new set of
6711	  extended functions.
6712	+ start integrating patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
6713	  + add extended functions which specify the SCREEN pointer for several
6714	    curses functions which use the global SP (these are incomplete;
6715	    some internals work is needed to complete these).
6716	  + add special cases to configure script for MinGW port.
6717
671820090207
6719	+ update several configure macros from lynx changes
6720	  + append (not prepend) to CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS
6721	  + change variable from PATHSEP to PATH_SEPARATOR
6722	+ improve install-rules for pc-files (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
6723	  + make it work with $DESTDIR
6724	  + create the pkg-config library directory if needed.
6725
672620090124
6727	+ modify init_pair() to allow caller to create extra color pairs beyond
6728	  the color_pairs limit, which use default colors (request by Emanuele
6729	  Giaquinta).
6730	+ add misc/terminfo.tmp and misc/*.pc to "sources" rule.
6731	+ fix typo "==" where "=" is needed in ncurses-config.in and
6732	  gen-pkgconfig.in files (Debian #512161).
6733
673420090117
6735	+ add -shared option to MK_SHARED_LIB when -Bsharable is used, for
6736	  *BSD's, without which "main" might be one of the shared library's
6737	  dependencies (report/analysis by Ken Dickey).
6738	+ modify waddch_literal(), updating line-pointer after a multicolumn
6739	  character is found to not fit on the current row, and wrapping is
6740	  done.  Since the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped
6741	  multicolumn character was written to the beginning of the current row
6742	  (cf: 20041023, reported by "Nick" regarding problem with ncmpc
6743	  http://musicpd.org/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1930).
6744
674520090110
6746	+ add screen.Eterm terminfo entry (GenToo #124887) -TD
6747	+ modify adacurses-config to look for ".ali" files in the adalib
6748	  directory.
6749	+ correct install for Ada95, which omitted libAdaCurses.a used in
6750	  adacurses-config
6751	+ change install for adacurses-config to provide additional flavors
6752	  such as adacursesw-config, for ncursesw (GenToo #167849).
6753
675420090105
6755	+ remove undeveloped feature in ncurses-config.in for setting
6756	  prefix variable.
6757	+ recent change to ncurses-config.in did not take into account the
6758	  --disable-overwrite option, which sets $includedir to the
6759	  subdirectory and using just that for a -I option does not work - fix
6760	  (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
6761
676220090104
6763	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to eliminate a dependency on rpath when
6764	  deciding whether to add $LIBS to --libs output; that should be shown
6765	  for the ncurses and tinfo libraries without taking rpath into
6766	  account.
6767	+ fix an overlooked change from $AR_OPTS to $ARFLAGS in mk-1st.awk,
6768	  used in static libraries (report by Marty Jack).
6769
677020090103
6771	+ add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
6772	  CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris (report by Dagobert Michelsen).
6773	+ add configure --with-pkg-config and --enable-pc-files options, along
6774	  with misc/gen-pkgconfig.in which can be used to generate ".pc" files
6775	  for pkg-config (request by Jan Engelhardt).
6776	+ use $includedir symbol in misc/ncurses-config.in, add --includedir
6777	  option.
6778	+ change makefiles to use $ARFLAGS rather than $AR_OPTS, provide a
6779	  configure check to detect whether a "-" is needed before "ar"
6780	  options.
6781	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
6782		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
6783
678420081227
6785	+ modify mk-1st.awk to work with extra categories for tinfo library.
6786	+ modify configure script to allow building shared libraries with gcc
6787	  on AIX 5 or 6 (adapted from patch by Lital Natan).
6788
678920081220
6790	+ modify to omit the opaque-functions from lib_gen.o when
6791	  --disable-ext-funcs is used.
6792	+ add test/clip_printw.c to illustrate how to use printw without
6793	  wrapping.
6794	+ modify ncurses 'F' test to demo wborder_set() with colored lines.
6795	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder() with colored lines.
6796
679720081213
6798	+ add check for failure to open hashed-database needed for db4.6
6799	  (GenToo #245370).
6800	+ corrected --without-manpages option; previous change only suppressed
6801	  the auxiliary rules install.man and uninstall.man
6802	+ add case for FreeMINT to configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE (patch from
6803	  GenToo #250454).
6804	+ fixes from NetBSD port at
6805	  http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/patches
6806	  patch-ac (build-fix for DragonFly)
6807	  patch-ae (use INSTALL_SCRIPT for installing misc/ncurses*-config).
6808	+ improve configure script macros CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_LIBRARY_PATH
6809	  by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS values to the
6810	  search-lists.
6811	+ correct title string for keybound manpage (patch by Frederic Culot,
6812	  OpenBSD documentation/6019),
6813
681420081206
6815	+ move del_curterm() call from _nc_freeall() to _nc_leaks_tinfo() to
6816	  work for progs/clear, progs/tabs, etc.
6817	+ correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character
6818	  set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran).
6819	+ add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather
6820	  than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that
6821	  ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue
6822	  was xterm's alternate screen feature).
6823	+ add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a
6824	  zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717,
6825	  adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault).
6826
682720081129
6828	+ improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control
6829	  character is found.  The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to
6830	  obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not
6831	  passing color or video attributes.
6832	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl() more consistently to
6833	  display meta-characters.
6834	+ turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h
6835	+ add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD
6836	+ correct use of key_name() in test/ncurses.c 'A' test, which only
6837	  displays wide-characters, not key-codes since 20070612 (report by
6838	  Ricardo Cantu).
6839
684020081122
6841	+ change _nc_has_mouse() to has_mouse(), reflect its use in C++ and
6842	  Ada95 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6843	+ document in TO-DO an issue with Cygwin's package for GNAT (report
6844	  by Mike Dennison).
6845	+ improve error-checking of command-line options in "tabs" program.
6846
684720081115
6848	+ change several terminfo entries to make consistent use of ANSI
6849	  clear-all-tabs -TD
6850	+ add "tabs" program (prompted by Debian #502260).
6851	+ add configure --without-manpages option (request by Mike Frysinger).

6854
685520081025
6856	+ add a manpage to discuss memory leaks.
6857	+ add support for shared libraries for QNX (other than libtool, which
6858	  does not work well on that platform).
6859	+ build-fix for QNX C++ binding.
6860
686120081018
6862	+ build-fixes for OS/2 EMX.
6863	+ modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
6864	  in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris (report by
6865	  Nit Khair).
6866	+ modify configure script to assume --without-hashed-db when
6867	  --disable-database is used.
6868	+ add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating source-files
6869	  to force earlier exit if the build environment fails unexpectedly
6870	  (prompted by patch by Adrian Bunk).
6871	+ change configure script to use CF_UTF8_LIB, improved variant of
6872	  CF_LIBUTF8.
6873
687420081012
6875	+ add teraterm4.59 terminfo entry, use that as primary teraterm entry, rename
6876	  original to teraterm2.3 -TD
6877	+ update "gnome" terminfo to 2.22.3 -TD
6878	+ update "konsole" terminfo to 1.6.6, needs today's fix for tic -TD
6879	+ add "aterm" terminfo -TD
6880	+ add "linux2.6.26" terminfo -TD
6881	+ add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined capabilities,
6882	  overlooked til now.
6883
688420081011
6885	+ regenerated html documentation.
6886	+ add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
6887	  the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
6888	+ correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
6889	+ document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
6890	+ fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
6891	+ add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
6892	  tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
6893	  20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
6894
689520081004
6896	+ some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
6897	  works for C/C++ parts).
6898	+ improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
6899	  AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
6900
690120080927
6902	+ fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
6903	  strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
6904	+ fix build for --disable-sigwinch
6905	+ add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
6906	  GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
6907	+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
6908	  "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
6909	  that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
6910	+ reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
6911	  Miroslav Lichvar).
6912	+ fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
6913	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6914	+ use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.
6915	+ discard internal symbol _nc_slk_format (unused since 20080112).
6916	+ move call of slk_paint_info() from _nc_slk_initialize() to
6917	  slk_intern_refresh(), improving initialization.
6918
691920080925

6921	  Debian #500103, also Miroslav Lichvar).
6922
692320080920
6924	+ fix shared-library rules for cygwin with tic- and tinfo-libraries.
6925	+ fix a memory leak when failure to connect to GPM.
6926	+ correct check for notimeout() in wgetch() (report on linux.redhat
6927	  newsgroup by FurtiveBertie).
6928	+ add an example warning-suppression file for valgrind,
6929	  misc/ncurses.supp (based on example from Reuben Thomas)
6930
693120080913
6932	+ change shared-library configuration for OpenBSD, make rpath work.

6944	  Meunier).
6945	+ update test/configure script.
6946	+ adapt ifdef's from library to make test/view.c build when mbrtowc()
6947	  is unavailable, e.g., with HPUX 10.20.
6948	+ add configure check for wcsrtombs, mbsrtowcs, which are used in
6949	  test/ncurses.c, and use wcstombs, mbstowcs instead if available,
6950	  fixing build of ncursew for HPUX 11.00
6951
695220080830
6953	+ fixes to make Ada95 demo_panels() example work.
6954	+ modify Ada95 'rain' test program to accept keyboard commands like the
6955	  C-version.
6956	+ modify BeOS-specific ifdef's to build on Haiku (patch by Scott
6957	  Mccreary).
6958	+ add configure-check to see if the std namespace is legal for cerr
6959	  and endl, to fix a build issue with Tru64.
6960	+ consistently use NCURSES_BOOL in lib_gen.c
6961	+ filter #line's from lib_gen.c
6962	+ change delimiter in MKlib_gen.sh from '%' to '@', to avoid
6963	  substitution by IBM xlc to '#' as part of its extensions to digraphs.
6964	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
6965		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
6966	  (caveat - its maintainer removed support for older Linux systems).
6967
696820080823
6969	+ modify configure check for pthread library to work with OSF/1 5.1,
6970	  which uses #define's to associate its header and library.
6971	+ use pthread_mutexattr_init() for initializing pthread_mutexattr_t,
6972	  makes threaded code work on HPUX 11.23
6973	+ fix a bug in demo_menus in freeing menus (cf: 20080804).
6974	+ modify configure script for the case where tic library is used (and
6975	  possibly renamed) to remove its dependency upon ncurses/ncursew
6976	  library (patch by Dr Werner Fink).
6977	+ correct manpage for menu_fore() which gave wrong default for
6978	  the attribute used to display a selected entry (report by Mike Gran).
6979	+ add Eterm-256color, Eterm-88color and rxvt-88color (prompted by
6980	  Debian #495815) -TD

6983	+ add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
6984	+ add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
6985	+ modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
6986	  applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
6987	  etc.  This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
6988	  Werner Fink).
6989	+ add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
6990	  using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).

7006	  thresholds).
7007
700820080713
7009	+ build-fix (reports by Christian Ebert, Funda Wang).
7010
701120080712
7012	+ compiler-warning fixes for Solaris.
7013
701420080705
7015	+ use NCURSES_MOUSE_MASK() in definition of BUTTON_RELEASE(), etc., to
7016	  make those work properly with the "--enable-ext-mouse" configuration
7017	  (cf: 20050205).
7018	+ improve documentation of build-cc options in INSTALL.
7019	+ work-around a bug in gcc 4.2.4 on AIX, which does not pass the

702320080628
7024	+ correct some ifdef's needed for the broken-linker configuration.
7025	+ make debugging library's $BAUDRATE feature work for termcap

7035	  menu_driver() (prompted by discussion with Adam Spragg).
7036	+ add null-pointer checks for cur_term in baudrate() and
7037	  def_shell_mode(), def_prog_mode()
7038	+ fix some memory leaks in delscreen() and wide acs.
7039
704020080614
7041	+ modify test/ditto.c to illustrate multi-threaded use_screen().
7042	+ change CC_SHARED_OPTS from -KPIC to -xcode=pic32 for Solaris.
7043	+ add "-shared" option to MK_SHARED_LIB for gcc on Solaris (report
7044	  by Poor Yorick).
7045
704620080607
7047	+ finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the
7048	  window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr().  That
7049	  allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with
7050	  some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a
7051	  window which is being used in a wgetch().
7052	+ simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
7053
705420080531
7055	+ modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
7056	  parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
7057	  use SP internally.
7058	+ factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
7059	+ add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a
7060	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
7061	+ add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a
7062	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
7063	+ add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate
7064	  its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN.
7065	+ add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in
7066	  preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer.
7067
706820080524
7069	+ modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
7070	  screen which must be updated.
7071	+ wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and
7072	  always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm().
7073	+ restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch
7074	  Miroslav Lichvar)
7075
707620080517
7077	+ modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and
7078	  --enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from
7079	  the ncurses ABI 5.
7080	+ corrected manpage description of setcchar() (discussion with
7081	  Emanuele Giaquinta).
7082	+ fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line
7083	  (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
7084
708520080503
7086	+ modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix
7087	  overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD
7088	+ modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the
7089	  global SP.
7090	+ simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and
7091	  each_ripoff().
7092
709320080426
7094	+ continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate
7095	  multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens.
7096	+ fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran).
7097
709820080419
7099	+ add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD
7100	+ modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from
7101	  being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings.
7102	+ improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout.
7103
710420080412
7105	+ change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm.
7106	+ add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their
7107	  window parameters.
7108	+ add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN
7109	  pointer.
7110	+ finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.
7111
711220080405
7113	+ begin table in curs_thread.3x manpage describing the scope of data
7114	  used by each function (or symbol) for threading analysis.
7115	+ add null-pointer checks to setsyx() and getsyx() (prompted by
7116	  discussion by Martin v. Lowis and Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on
7117	  python-dev2 mailing list).
7118
711920080329
7120	+ add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen().
7121	+ move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which
7122	  are not associated with a particular screen.
7123	+ change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than
7124	  stdscr to the callback function.
7125	+ force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this,
7126	  e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc
7127	  (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
7128	+ override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on
7129	  platforms such as AIX where libtool may use a different suffix for
7130	  the object files than ".o" (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
7131	+ add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX
7132	  thread library.
7133
713420080322
7135	+ fill in extended-color pair two more places in wbkgrndset() and
7136	  waddch_nosync() (prompted by Sedeno's patch).
7137	+ fill in extended-color pair in _nc_build_wch() to make colors work
7138	  for wide-characters using extended-colors (patch by Alejandro R
7139	  Sedeno).
7140	+ add x/X toggles to ncurses.c C color test to test/demo
7141	  wide-characters with extended-colors.
7142	+ add a/A toggles to ncurses.c c/C color tests.
7143	+ modify test/ditto.c to use use_screen().
7144	+ finish modifying test/rain.c to demonstrate threads.
7145
714620080308
7147	+ start modifying test/rain.c for threading demo.
7148	+ modify test/ncurses.c to make 'f' test accept the f/F/b/F/</> toggles
7149	  that the 'F' accepts.
7150	+ modify test/worm.c to show trail in reverse-video when other threads
7151	  are working concurrently.
7152	+ fix a deadlock from improper nesting of mutexes for windowlist and
7153	  window.
7154
715520080301
7156	+ fixes from 20080223 resolved issue with mutexes; change to use
7157	  recursive mutexes to fix memory leak in delwin() as called from
7158	  _nc_free_and_exit().
7159
716020080223
7161	+ fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex
7162	  lock/unlock when termlib was built separately.
7163
716420080216
7165	+ avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often
7166	  is implemented to suspend the entire process.
7167
716820080209
7169	+ update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for
7170	  comparisons.  This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open Curses
7171	  that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping.  None of the Unix-branded
7172	  implementations do this, as noted in manpage (cf: 20040228).
7173
717420080203
7175	+ modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same
7176	  for both narrow/wide models.  It had been set only for wide model,
7177	  but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model.
7178	+ improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by
7179	  using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append
7180	  further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A
7181	  Chernov).
7182	+ modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint().
7183	  If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
7184	  sequence.
7185
718620080126
7187	+ improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE
7188	  handling).  Now it hangs in napms(), no matter whether nanosleep()
7189	  or poll() or select() are used on Linux.
7190
719120080119
7192	+ fixes to build with --disable-ext-funcs
7193	+ add manpage for use_window and use_screen.
7194	+ add set_tabsize() and set_escdelay() functions.
7195
719620080112
7197	+ remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c
7198	+ remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's
7199	  adjust_window() which caused occasional misadjustment of stdscr when
7200	  softkeys were used.
7201
720220080105
7203	+ several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD
7204	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the
7205	  "link_test" builds properly.
7206	+ fix for toe command-line options -u/-U to ensure filename is given.
7207	+ fix allocation-size for command-line parsing in infocmp from 20070728
7208	  (report by Miroslav Lichvar)
7209	+ improve resizeterm() by moving ripped-off lines, and repainting the
7210	  soft-keys (report by Katarina Machalkova)
7211	+ add clarification in wclear's manpage noting that the screen will be
7212	  cleared even if a subwindow is cleared (prompted by Christer Enfors
7213	  question).
7214	+ change test/ncurses.c soft-key tests to work with KEY_RESIZE.
7215
721620071222
7217	+ continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
7218	  for delwin().
7219
722020071215
7221	+ add several functions to C++ binding which wrap C functions that
7222	  pass a WINDOW* parameter (request by Chris Lee).
7223
722420071201
7225	+ add note about configure options needed for Berkeley database to the
7226	  INSTALL file.
7227	+ improve checks for version of Berkeley database libraries.
7228	+ amend fix for rpath to not modify LDFLAGS if the platform has no
7229	  applicable transformation (report by Christian Ebert, cf: 20071124).
7230
723120071124
7232	+ modify configure option --with-hashed-db to accept a parameter which
7233	  is the install-prefix of a given Berkeley Database (prompted by
7234	  pierre4d2 comments).
7235	+ rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb(), making it work on Solaris.  This is
7236	  used in the form library to determine the length of the buffer needed
7237	  by field_buffer (report by Alfred Fung).
7238	+ remove unneeded window-parameter from C++ binding for wresize (report
7239	  by Chris Lee).
7240
724120071117
7242	+ modify the support for filesystems which do not support mixed-case to
7243	  generate 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the lower-level of the
7244	  filesystem terminfo database (request by Michail Vidiassov).
7245	+ add configure option --enable-mixed-case, to allow overriding the
7246	  configure script's check if the filesystem supports mixed-case
7247	  filenames.
7248	+ add wresize() to C++ binding (request by Chris Lee).
7249	+ define NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS and NCURSES_EXT_COLORS in curses.h to make
7250	  it simpler to tell if the extended functions and/or colors are
7251	  declared.
7252
725320071103
7254	+ update memory-leak checks for changes to names.c and codes.c
7255	+ correct acsc strings in h19, z100 (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler).
7256
725720071020
7258	+ continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
7259	  for use_window().
7260	+ add mrxvt terminfo entry, add/fix xterm building blocks for modified
7261	  cursor keys -TD
7262	+ compile with FreeBSD "contemporary" TTY interface (patch by
7263	  Rong-En Fan).
7264
726520071013
7266	+ modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built
7267	  without libtic.  The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
7268	  that library.
7269	+ add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
7270	  the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).
7271	+ fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat #310071,
7272	  patches by Miroslav Lichvar).
7273	+ improve performance of NCURSES_CHAR_EQ code (patch by Miroslav
7274	  Lichvar).
7275	+ update/improve mlterm and rxvt terminfo entries, e.g., for
7276	  the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
7277
727820071006
7279	+ add code to curses.priv.h ifdef'd with NCURSES_CHAR_EQ, which
7280	  changes the CharEq() macro to an inline function to allow comparing
7281	  cchar_t struct's without comparing gaps in a possibly unpacked
7282	  memory layout (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
7283
728420070929
7285	+ add new functions to lib_trace.c to setup mutex's for the _tracef()
7286	  calls within the ncurses library.
7287	+ for the reentrant model, move _nc_tputs_trace and _nc_outchars into
7288	  the SCREEN.
7289	+ start modifying test/worm.c to provide threading demo (incomplete).
7290	+ separated ifdef's for some BSD-related symbols in tset.c, to make
7291	  it compile on LynxOS (report by Greg Gemmer).
729220070915
7293	+ modify Ada95/gen/Makefile to use shlib script, to simplify building
7294	  shared-library configuration on platforms lacking rpath support.
7295	+ build-fix for Ada95/src/Makefile to reflect changed dependency for
7296	  the terminal-interface-curses-aux.adb file which is now generated.
7297	+ restructuring test/worm.c, for use_window() example.
7298
729920070908
7300	+ add use_window() and use_screen() functions, to develop into support
7301	  for threaded library (incomplete).
7302	+ fix typos in man/curs_opaque.3x which kept the install script from
7303	  creating symbolic links to two aliases created in 20070818 (report by
7304	  Rong-En Fan).
7305
730620070901
7307	+ remove a spurious newline from output of html.m4, which caused links
7308	  for Ada95 html to be incorrect for the files generated using m4.
7309	+ start investigating mutex's for SCREEN manipulation (incomplete).
7310	+ minor cleanup of codes.c/names.c for --enable-const
7311	+ expand/revise "Routine and Argument Names" section of ncurses manpage
7312	  to address report by David Givens in newsgroup discussion.
7313	+ fix interaction between --without-progs/--with-termcap configure
7314	  options (report by Michail Vidiassov).
7315	+ fix typo in "--disable-relink" option (report by Michail Vidiassov).
7316
731720070825
7318	+ fix a sign-extension bug in infocmp's repair_acsc() function
7319	  (cf: 971004).
7320	+ fix old configure script bug which prevented "--disable-warnings"
7321	  option from working (patch by Mike Frysinger).
7322
732320070818
7324	+ add 9term terminal description (request by Juhapekka Tolvanen) -TD
7325	+ modify comp_hash.c's string output to avoid misinterpreting a null
7326	  "\0" followed by a digit.
7327	+ modify MKnames.awk and MKcodes.awk to support big-strings.
7328	  This only applies to the cases (broken linker, reentrant) where
7329	  the corresponding arrays are accessed via wrapper functions.
7330	+ split MKnames.awk into two scripts, eliminating the shell redirection
7331	  which complicated the make process and also the bogus timestamp file
7332	  which was introduced to fix "make -j".
7333	+ add test/test_opaque.c, test/test_arrays.c
7334	+ add wgetscrreg() and wgetparent() for applications that may need it
7335	  when NCURSES_OPAQUE is defined (prompted by Bryan Christ).
7336
733720070812
7338	+ amend treatment of infocmp "-r" option to retain the 1023-byte limit
7339	  unless "-T" is given (cf: 981017).
7340	+ modify comp_captab.c generation to use big-strings.
7341	+ make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private accessed via
7342	  _nc_get_alias_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
7343	  library.
7344	+ modify configure script to skip Intel compiler in CF_C_INLINE.
7345	+ make _nc_info_hash_table and _nc_cap_hash_table private accessed via
7346	  _nc_get_hash_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
7347	  library.
7348
734920070728
7350	+ make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private, accessed via
7351	  _nc_get_alias_table() since they are used only by parse_entry.c
7352	+ make _nc_key_names private since it is used only by lib_keyname.c
7353	+ add --disable-big-strings configure option to control whether
7354	  unctrl.c is generated using the big-string optimization - which may
7355	  use strings longer than supported by a given compiler.
7356	+ reduce relocation tables for tic, infocmp by changing type of
7357	  internal hash tables to short, and make those private symbols.
7358	+ eliminate large fixed arrays from progs/infocmp.c
7359
736020070721
7361	+ change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line (cf: 970315).
7362	+ add test/test_get_wstr.c
7363	+ add test/test_getstr.c
7364	+ add test/test_inwstr.c
7365	+ add test/test_instr.c
7366
736720070716
7368	+ restore a call to obtain screen-size in _nc_setupterm(), which
7369	  is used in tput and other non-screen applications via setupterm()
7370	  (Debian #433357, reported by Florent Bayle, Christian Ohm,
7371	  cf: 20070310).
7372
737320070714
7374	+ add test/savescreen.c test-program
7375	+ add check to trace-file open, if the given name is a directory, add
7376	  ".log" to the name and try again.
7377	+ add konsole-256color entry -TD
7378	+ add extra gcc warning options from xterm.
7379	+ minor fixes for ncurses/hashmap test-program.
7380	+ modify configure script to quiet c++ build with libtool when the
7381	  --disable-echo option is used.
7382	+ modify configure script to disable ada95 if libtool is selected,
7383	  writing a warning message (addresses FreeBSD #114493).
7384	+ update config.guess, config.sub
7385
738620070707
7387	+ add continuous-move "M" to demo_panels to help test refresh changes.
7388	+ improve fix for refresh of window on top of multi-column characters,
7389	  taking into account some split characters on left/right window
7390	  boundaries.
7391
739220070630
7393	+ add "widec" row to _tracedump() output to help diagnose remaining
7394	  problems with multi-column characters.
7395	+ partial fix for refresh of window on top of multi-column characters
7396	  which are partly overwritten (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
7397	+ ignore A_CHARTEXT bits in vidattr() and vid_attr(), in case
7398	  multi-column extension bits are passed there.
7399	+ add setlocale() call to demo_panels.c, needed for wide-characters.
7400	+ add some output flags to _nc_trace_ttymode to help diagnose a bug
7401	  report by Larry Virden, i.e., ONLCR, OCRNL, ONOCR and ONLRET,
7402
740320070623
7404	+ add test/demo_panels.c
7405	+ implement opaque version of setsyx() and getsyx().
7406
740720070612
7408	+ corrected xterm+pcf2 terminfo modifiers for F1-F4, to match xterm
7409	  #226 -TD
7410	+ split-out key_name() from MKkeyname.awk since it now depends upon
7411	  wunctrl() which is not in libtinfo (report by Rong-En Fan).
7412
741320070609
7414	+ add test/key_name.c
7415	+ add stdscr cases to test/inchs.c and test/inch_wide.c
7416	+ update test/configure
7417	+ correct formatting of DEL (0x7f) in _nc_vischar().
7418	+ null-terminate result of wunctrl().
7419	+ add null-pointer check in key_name() (report by Andreas Krennmair,
7420	  cf: 20020901).
7421
742220070602
7423	+ adapt mouse-handling code from menu library in form-library
7424	  (discussion with Clive Nicolson).
7425	+ add a modification of test/dots.c, i.e., test/dots_mvcur.c to
7426	  illustrate how to use mvcur().
7427	+ modify wide-character flavor of SetAttr() to preserve the
7428	  WidecExt() value stored in the .attr field, e.g., in case it
7429	  is overwritten by chgat (report by Aleksi Torhamo).
7430	+ correct buffer-size for _nc_viswbuf2n() (report by Aleksi Torhamo).
7431	+ build-fixes for Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 (patch by Peter O'Gorman).
7432
743320070526
7434	+ modify keyname() to use "^X" form only if meta() has been called, or
7435	  if keyname() is called without initializing curses, e.g., via
7436	  initscr() or newterm() (prompted by LinuxBase #1604).
7437	+ document some portability issues in man/curs_util.3x
7438	+ add a shadow copy of TTY buffer to _nc_prescreen to fix applications
7439	  broken by moving that data into SCREEN (cf: 20061230).
7440
744120070512
7442	+ add 'O' (wide-character panel test) in ncurses.c to demonstrate a
7443	  problem reported by Sadrul H Chowdhury with repainting parts of
7444	  a fullwidth cell.
7445	+ modify slk_init() so that if there are preceding calls to
7446	  ripoffline(), those affect the available lines for soft-keys (adapted
7447	  from patch by Clive Nicolson).
7448	+ document some portability issues in man/curs_getyx.3x
7449
745020070505
7451	+ fix a bug in Ada95/samples/ncurses which caused a variable to
7452	  become uninitialized in the "b" test.
7453	+ fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in adahtml rule to account for recent
7454	  movement of files, fix a few incorrect manpage references in the
7455	  generated html.
7456	+ add Ada95 binding to _nc_freeall() as Curses_Free_All to help with
7457	  memory-checking.
7458	+ correct some functions in Ada95 binding which were using return value
7459	  from C where none was returned:  idcok(), immedok() and wtimeout().
7460	+ amend recent changes for Ada95 binding to make it build with
7461	  Cygwin's linker, e.g., with configure options
7462		--enable-broken-linker --with-ticlib
7463
746420070428
7465	+ add a configure check for gcc's options for inlining, use that to
7466	  quiet a warning message where gcc's default behavior changed from
7467	  3.x to 4.x.
7468	+ improve warning message when checking if GPM is linked to curses
7469	  library by not warning if its use of "wgetch" is via a weak symbol.
7470	+ add loader options when building with static libraries to ensure that
7471	  an installed shared library for ncurses does not conflict.  This is
7472	  reported as problem with Tru64, but could affect other platforms
7473	  (report Martin Mokrejs, analysis by Tim Mooney).
7474	+ fix build on cygwin after recent ticlib/termlib changes, i.e.,
7475	  + adjust TINFO_SUFFIX value to work with cygwin's dll naming
7476	  + revert a change from 20070303 which commented out dependency of
7477	    SHLIB_LIST in form/menu/panel/c++ libraries.
7478	+ fix initialization of ripoff stack pointer (cf: 20070421).
7479
748020070421
7481	+ move most static variables into structures _nc_globals and
7482	  _nc_prescreen, to simplify storage.
7483	+ add/use configure script macro CF_SIG_ATOMIC_T, use the corresponding
7484	  type for data manipulated by signal handlers (prompted by comments
7485	  in mailing.openbsd.bugs newsgroup).
7486	+ modify CF_WITH_LIBTOOL to allow one to pass options such as -static
7487	  to the libtool create- and link-operations.
7488
748920070414
7490	+ fix whitespace in curs_opaque.3x which caused a spurious ';' in
7491	  the installed aliases (report by Peter Santoro).
7492	+ fix configure script to not try to generate adacurses-config when
7493	  Ada95 tree is not built.
7494
749520070407
7496	+ add man/curs_legacy.3x, man/curs_opaque.3x
7497	+ fix acs_map binding for Ada95 when --enable-reentrant is used.
7498	+ add adacurses-config to the Ada95 install, based on version from
7499	  FreeBSD port, in turn by Juergen Pfeifer in 2000 (prompted by
7500	  comment on comp.lang.ada newsgroup).
7501	+ fix includes in c++ binding to build with Intel compiler
7502	  (cf: 20061209).
7503	+ update install rule in Ada95 to use mkdirs.sh
7504	> other fixes prompted by inspection for Coverity report:
7505	+ modify ifdef's for c++ binding to use try/catch/throw statements
7506	+ add a null-pointer check in tack/ansi.c request_cfss()
7507	+ fix a memory leak in ncurses/base/wresize.c
7508	+ corrected check for valid memu/meml capabilities in
7509	  progs/dump_entry.c when handling V_HPUX case.
7510	> fixes based on Coverity report:
7511	+ remove dead code in test/bs.c
7512	+ remove dead code in test/demo_defkey.c
7513	+ remove an unused assignment in progs/infocmp.c
7514	+ fix a limit check in tack/ansi.c tools_charset()
7515	+ fix tack/ansi.c tools_status() to perform the VT320/VT420
7516	  tests in request_cfss().  The function had exited too soon.
7517	+ fix a memory leak in tic.c's make_namelist()
7518	+ fix a couple of places in tack/output.c which did not check for EOF.
7519	+ fix a loop-condition in test/bs.c
7520	+ add index checks in lib_color.c for color palettes
7521	+ add index checks in progs/dump_entry.c for version_filter() handling
7522	  of V_BSD case.
7523	+ fix a possible null-pointer dereference in copywin()
7524	+ fix a possible null-pointer dereference in waddchnstr()
7525	+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_expand_try()
7526	+ add a null-pointer check in tic.c's make_namelist()
7527	+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_expand_try()
7528	+ add null-pointer checks in test/cardfile.c
7529	+ fix a double-free in ncurses/tinfo/trim_sgr0.c
7530	+ fix a double-free in ncurses/base/wresize.c
7531	+ add try/catch block to c++/cursesmain.cc
7532
753320070331
7534	+ modify Ada95 binding to build with --enable-reentrant by wrapping
7535	  global variables (bug: acs_map does not yet work).
7536	+ modify Ada95 binding to use the new access-functions, allowing it
7537	  to build/run when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
7538	+ add access-functions and macros to return properties of the WINDOW
7539	  structure, e.g., when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
7540	+ improved install-sh's quoting.
7541	+ use mkdirs.sh rather than mkinstalldirs, e.g., to use fixes from
7542	  other programs.
7543
754420070324
7545	+ eliminate part of the direct use of WINDOW data from Ada95 interface.
7546	+ fix substitutions for termlib filename to make configure option
7547	  --enable-reentrant work with --with-termlib.
7548	+ change a constructor for NCursesWindow to allow compiling with
7549	  NCURSES_OPAQUE set, since we cannot pass a reference to
7550	  an opaque pointer.
7551
755220070317
7553	+ ignore --with-chtype=unsigned since unsigned is always added to
7554	  the type in curses.h; do the same for --with-mmask-t.
7555	+ change warning regarding --enable-ext-colors and wide-character
7556	  in the configure script to an error.
7557	+ tweak error message in CF_WITH_LIBTOOL to distinguish other programs
7558	  such as Darwin's libtool program (report by Michail Vidiassov)
7559	+ modify edit_man.sh to allow for multiple substitutions per line.
7560	+ set locale in misc/ncurses-config.in since it uses a range
7561	+ change permissions libncurses++.a install (report by Michail
7562	  Vidiassov).
7563	+ corrected length of temporary buffer in wide-character version
7564	  of set_field_buffer() (related to report by Bryan Christ).
7565
756620070311
7567	+ fix mk-1st.awk script install_shlib() function, broken in 20070224
7568	  changes for cygwin (report by  Michail Vidiassov).
7569
757020070310
7571	+ increase size of array in _nc_visbuf2n() to make "tic -v" work
7572	  properly in its similar_sgr() function (report/analysis by Peter
7573	  Santoro).
7574	+ add --enable-reentrant configure option for ongoing changes to
7575	  implement a reentrant version of ncurses:
7576	  + libraries are suffixed with "t"
7577	  + wrap several global variables (curscr, newscr, stdscr, ttytype,
7578	    COLORS, COLOR_PAIRS, COLS, ESCDELAY, LINES and TABSIZE) as
7579	    functions returning values stored in SCREEN or cur_term.
7580	  + move some initialization (LINES, COLS) from lib_setup.c,
7581	    i.e., setupterm() to _nc_setupscreen(), i.e., newterm().
7582
758320070303
7584	+ regenerated html documentation.
7585	+ add NCURSES_OPAQUE symbol to curses.h, will use to make structs
7586	  opaque in selected configurations.
7587	+ move the chunk in lib_acs.c which resets acs capabilities when
7588	  running on a terminal whose locale interferes with those into
7589	  _nc_setupscreen(), so the libtinfo/libtinfow files can be made
7590	  identical (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
7591	+ do not use configure variable SHLIB_LIBS for building libraries
7592	  outside the ncurses directory, since that symbol is customized
7593	  only for that directory, and using it introduces an unneeded
7594	  dependency on libdl (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
7595	+ modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or
7596	  installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in
7597	  case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh (report by Jeff
7598	  Chua).
7599	+ revised section "Using NCURSES under XTERM" in ncurses-intro.html
7600	  (prompted by newsgroup comment by Nick Guenther).
7601
760220070224
7603	+ change internal return codes of _nc_wgetch() to check for cases
7604	  where KEY_CODE_YES should be returned, e.g., if a KEY_RESIZE was
7605	  ungetch'd, and read by wget_wch().
7606	+ fix static-library build broken in 20070217 changes to remove "-ldl"
7607	  (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
7608	+ change makefile/scripts for cygwin to allow building termlib.
7609	+ use Form_Hook in manpages to match form.h
7610	+ use Menu_Hook in manpages, as well as a few places in menu.h
7611	+ correct form- and menu-manpages to use specific Field_Options,
7612	  Menu_Options and Item_Options types.
7613	+ correct prototype for _tracechar() in manpage (cf: 20011229).
7614	+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
7615
761620070217
7617	+ fixes for $(TICS_LIST) in ncurses/Makefile (report by Miroslav
7618	  Lichvar).
7619	+ modify relinking of shared libraries to apply only when rpath is
7620	  enabled, and add --disable-relink option which can be used to
7621	  disable the feature altogether (reports by Michail Vidiassov,
7622	  Adam J Richter).
7623	+ fix --with-termlib option for wide-character configuration, stripping
7624	  the "w" suffix in one place (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
7625	+ remove "-ldl" from some library lists to reduce dependencies in
7626	  programs (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
7627	+ correct description of --enable-signed-char in configure --help
7628	  (report by Michail Vidiassov).
7629	+ add pattern for GNU/kFreeBSD configuration to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE,
7630	  which matches an earlier change to CF_SHARED_OPTS, from xterm #224
7631	  fixes.
7632	+ remove "${DESTDIR}" from -install_name option used for linking
7633	  shared libraries on Darwin (report by Michail Vidiassov).
7634
763520070210
7636	+ add test/inchs.c, test/inch_wide.c, to test win_wchnstr().
7637	+ remove libdl from library list for termlib (report by Miroslav
7638	  Lichvar).
7639	+ fix configure.in to allow --without-progs --with-termlib (patch by
7640	  Miroslav Lichvar).
7641	+ modify win_wchnstr() to ensure that only a base cell is returned
7642	  for each multi-column character (prompted by report by Wei Kong
7643	  regarding change in mvwin_wch() cf: 20041023).
7644
764520070203
7646	+ modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
7647	  from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
7648	  Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
7649	  associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
7650	  Ricardo Cantu).
7651	+ improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
7652	+ ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
7653	+ add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
7654	  to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
7655	+ drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
7656	  no longer relies on it.
7657	+ disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
7658	  --enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
7659	+ remove tack from ncurses tree.
7660
766120070128
7662	+ fix typo in configure script that broke --with-termlib option
7663	  (report by Rong-En Fan).
7664
766520070127
7666	+ improve fix for FreeBSD gnu/98975, to allow for null pointer passed
7667	  to tgetent() (report by Rong-en Fan).
7668	+ update tack/HISTORY and tack/README to tell how to build it after
7669	  it is removed from the ncurses tree.
7670	+ fix configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
7671	  (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
7672	+ review/eliminate other original-file artifacts in cursesw.cc, making
7673	  its license consistent with ncurses.
7674	+ use ncurses vw_scanw() rather than reading into a fixed buffer in
7675	  the c++ binding for scanw() methods (prompted by report by Nuno Dias).
7676	+ eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding.
7677
767820070120
7679	+ add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from
7680	  term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency.
7681	+ fix test/mk-test.awk to ignore blank lines.
7682	+ correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav
7683	  Lichvar).
7684
768520070113
7686	+ add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the
7687	  _first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak).
7688	+ add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the
7689	  ncurses build-tree.
7690	+ add --with-ticlib option, to build/install the tic-support functions
7691	  in a separate library (suggested by Miroslav Lichvar).
7692
769320070106
7694	+ change MKunctrl.awk to reduce relocation table for unctrl.o
7695	+ change MKkeyname.awk to reduce relocation table for keyname.o
7696	  (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
7697
769820061230
7699	+ modify configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
7700	  (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
7701	+ modify some modules to allow them to be reentrant if _REENTRANT is
7702	  defined: lib_baudrate.c, resizeterm.c (local data only)
7703	+ eliminate static data from some modules: add_tries.c, hardscroll.c,
7704	  lib_ttyflags.c, lib_twait.c
7705	+ improve manpage install to add aliases for the transformed program
7706	  names, e.g., from --program-prefix.
7707	+ used linklint to verify links in the HTML documentation, made fixes
7708	  to manpages as needed.
7709	+ fix a typo in curs_mouse.3x (report by William McBrine).
7710	+ fix install-rule for ncurses5-config to make the bin-directory.
7711
771220061223
7713	+ modify configure script to omit the tic (terminfo compiler) support
7714	  from ncurses library if --without-progs option is given.
7715	+ modify install rule for ncurses5-config to do this via "install.libs"
7716	+ modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath.
7717	+ update config.guess, config.sub
7718
771920061217 5.6 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
7720
772120061217
7722	+ add ifdef's for <wctype.h> for HPUX, which has the corresponding
7723	  definitions in <wchar.h>.
7724	+ revert the va_copy() change from 20061202, since it was neither
7725	  correct nor portable.
7726	+ add $(LOCAL_LIBS) definition to progs/Makefile.in, needed for
7727	  rpath on Solaris.
7728	+ ignore wide-acs line-drawing characters that wcwidth() claims are
7729	  not one-column.  This is a workaround for Solaris' broken locale
7730	  support.
7731
773220061216
7733	+ modify configure --with-gpm option to allow it to accept a parameter,
7734	  i.e., the name of the dynamic GPM library to load via dlopen()
7735	  (requested by Bryan Henderson).
7736	+ add configure option --with-valgrind, changes from vile.
7737	+ modify configure script AC_TRY_RUN and AC_TRY_LINK checks to use
7738	  'return' in preference to 'exit()'.
7739
774020061209
7741	+ change default for --with-develop back to "no".
7742	+ add XTABS to tracing of TTY bits.
7743	+ updated autoconf patch to ifdef-out the misfeature which declares
7744	  exit() for configure tests.  This fixes a redefinition warning on
7745	  Solaris.
7746	+ use ${CC} rather than ${LD} in shared library rules for IRIX64,
7747	  Solaris to help ensure that initialization sections are provided for
7748	  extra linkage requirements, e.g., of C++ applications (prompted by
7749	  comment by Casper Dik in newsgroup).
7750	+ rename "$target" in CF_MAN_PAGES to make it easier to distinguish
7751	  from the autoconf predefined symbol.  There was no conflict,
7752	  since "$target" was used only in the generated edit_man.sh file,
7753	  but SuSE's rpm package contains a patch.
7754
775520061202
7756	+ update man/term.5 to reflect extended terminfo support and hashed
7757	  database configuration.
7758	+ updates for test/configure script.
7759	+ adapted from SuSE rpm package:
7760	  + remove long-obsolete workaround for broken-linker which declared
7761	    cur_term in tic.c
7762	  + improve error recovery in PUTC() macro when wcrtomb() does not
7763	    return usable results for an 8-bit character.
7764	+ patches from rpm package (SuSE):
7765	  + use va_copy() in extra varargs manipulation for tracing version
7766	    of printw, etc.
7767	  + use a va_list rather than a null in _nc_freeall()'s call to
7768	    _nc_printf_string().
7769	+ add some see-also references in manpages to show related
7770	  wide-character functions (suggested by Claus Fischer).
7771
777220061125
7773	+ add a check in lib_color.c to ensure caller does not increase COLORS
7774	  above max_colors, which is used as an array index (discussion with
7775	  Simon Sasburg).
7776	+ add ifdef's allowing ncurses to be built with tparm() using either
7777	  varargs (the existing status), or using a fixed-parameter list (to
7778	  match X/Open).
7779
778020061104
7781	+ fix redrawing of windows other than stdscr using wredrawln() by
7782	  touching the corresponding rows in curscr (discussion with Dan
7783	  Gookin).
7784	+ add test/redraw.c
7785	+ add test/echochar.c
7786	+ review/cleanup manpage descriptions of error-returns for form- and
7787	  menu-libraries (prompted by FreeBSD docs/46196).
7788
778920061028
7790	+ add AUTHORS file -TD
7791	+ omit the -D options from output of the new config script --cflags
7792	  option (suggested by Ralf S Engelschall).
7793	+ make NCURSES_INLINE unconditionally defined in curses.h
7794
779520061021
7796	+ revert change to accommodate bash 3.2, since that breaks other
7797	  platforms, e.g., Solaris.
7798	+ minor fixes to NEWS file to simplify scripting to obtain list of
7799	  contributors.
7800	+ improve some shared-library configure scripting for Linux, FreeBSD
7801	  and NetBSD to make "--with-shlib-version" work.
7802	+ change configure-script rules for FreeBSD shared libraries to allow
7803	  for rpath support in versions past 3.
7804	+ use $(DESTDIR) in makefile rules for installing/uninstalling the
7805	  package config script (reports/patches by Christian Wiese,
7806	  Ralf S Engelschall).
7807	+ fix a warning in the configure script for NetBSD 2.0, working around
7808	  spurious blanks embedded in its ${MAKEFLAGS} symbol.
7809	+ change test/Makefile to simplify installing test programs in a
7810	  different directory when --enable-rpath is used.
7811
781220061014
7813	+ work around bug in bash 3.2 by adding extra quotes (Jim Gifford).
7814	+ add/install a package config script, e.g., "ncurses5-config" or
7815	  "ncursesw5-config", according to configuration options.
7816
781720061007
7818	+ add several GNU Screen terminfo variations with 16- and 256-colors,
7819	  and status line (Alain Bench).
7820	+ change the way shared libraries (other than libtool) are installed.
7821	  Rather than copying the build-tree's libraries, link the shared
7822	  objects into the install directory.  This makes the --with-rpath
7823	  option work except with $(DESTDIR) (cf: 20000930).
7824
782520060930
7826	+ fix ifdef in c++/internal.h for QNX 6.1
7827	+ test-compiled with (old) egcs-1.1.2, modified configure script to
7828	  not unset the $CXX and related variables which would prevent this.
7829	+ fix a few terminfo.src typos exposed by improvements to "-f" option.
7830	+ improve infocmp/tic "-f" option formatting.
7831
783220060923
7833	+ make --disable-largefile option work (report by Thomas M Ott).
7834	+ updated html documentation.
7835	+ add ka2, kb1, kb3, kc2 to vt220-keypad as an extension -TD
7836	+ minor improvements to rxvt+pcfkeys -TD
7837
783820060916
7839	+ move static data from lib_mouse.c into SCREEN struct.
7840	+ improve ifdef's for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset to work with Mac OS X
7841	  (report by Michail Vidiassov).
7842	+ modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX to ensure it uses the result from --prefix
7843	  option (from lynx changes) -TD
7844	+ adapt AC_PROG_EGREP check, noting that this is likely to be another
7845	  place aggravated by POSIXLY_CORRECT.
7846	+ modify configure check for awk to ensure that it is found (prompted
7847	  by report by Christopher Parker).
7848	+ update config.sub
7849
785020060909
7851	+ add kon, kon2 and jfbterm terminfo entry (request by Till Maas) -TD
7852	+ remove invis capability from klone+sgr, mainly used by linux entry,
7853	  since it does not really do this -TD
7854
785520060903
7856	+ correct logic in wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not guard
7857	  against passing the multi-column attribute into a call on waddch(),
7858	  e.g., using data returned by win_wch() (cf: 20041023)
7859	  (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
7860
786120060902
7862	+ fix kterm's acsc string -TD
7863	+ fix for change to tic/infocmp in 20060819 to ensure no blank is
7864	  embedded into a termcap description.
7865	+ workaround for 20050806 ifdef's change to allow visbuf.c to compile
7866	  when using --with-termlib --with-trace options.
7867	+ improve tgetstr() by making the return value point into the user's
7868	  buffer, if provided (patch by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat #202480)).
7869	+ correct libraries needed for foldkeys (report by Stanislav Ievlev)
7870
787120060826
7872	+ add terminfo entries for xfce terminal (xfce) and multi gnome
7873	  terminal (mgt) -TD
7874	+ add test/foldkeys.c
7875
787620060819
7877	+ modify tic and infocmp to avoid writing trailing blanks on terminfo
7878	  source output (Debian #378783).
7879	+ modify configure script to ensure that if the C compiler is used
7880	  rather than the loader in making shared libraries, the $(CFLAGS)
7881	  variable is also used (Redhat #199369).
7882	+ port hashed-db code to db2 and db3.
7883	+ fix a bug in tgetent() from 20060625 and 20060715 changes
7884	  (patch/analysis by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat #202480)).
7885
788620060805
7887	+ updated xterm function-keys terminfo to match xterm #216 -TD
7888	+ add configure --with-hashed-db option (tested only with FreeBSD 6.0,
7889	  e.g., the db 1.8.5 interface).
7890
789120060729
7892	+ modify toe to access termcap data, e.g., via cgetent() functions,
7893	  or as a text file if those are not available.
7894	+ use _nc_basename() in tset to improve $SHELL check for csh/sh.
7895	+ modify _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_termcap_entry() so infocmp,
7896	  can access termcap data when the terminfo database is disabled.
7897
789820060722
7899	+ widen the test for xterm kmous a little to allow for other strings
7900	  than \E[M, e.g., for xterm-sco functionality in xterm.
7901	+ update xterm-related terminfo entries to match xterm patch #216 -TD
7902	+ update config.guess, config.sub
7903
790420060715
7905	+ fix for install-rule in Ada95 to add terminal_interface.ads
7906	  and terminal_interface.ali (anonymous posting in comp.lang.ada).
7907	+ correction to manpage for getcchar() (report by William McBrine).
7908	+ add test/chgat.c
7909	+ modify wchgat() to mark updated cells as changed so a refresh will
7910	  repaint those cells (comments by Sadrul H Chowdhury and William
7911	  McBrine).
7912	+ split up dependency of names.c and codes.c in ncurses/Makefile to
7913	  work with parallel make (report/analysis by Joseph S Myers).
7914	+ suppress a warning message (which is ignored) for systems without
7915	  an ldconfig program (patch by Justin Hibbits).
7916	+ modify configure script --disable-symlinks option to allow one to
7917	  disable symlink() in tic even when link() does not work (report by
7918	  Nigel Horne).
7919	+ modify MKfallback.sh to use tic -x when constructing fallback tables
7920	  to allow extended capabilities to be retrieved from a fallback entry.
7921	+ improve leak-checking logic in tgetent() from 20060625 to ensure that
7922	  it does not free the current screen (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
7923
792420060708
7925	+ add a check for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset (NetBSD #33916).
7926	+ correct _nc_free_entries() and related functions used for memory leak
7927	  checking of tic.
7928
792920060701
7930	+ revert a minor change for magic-cookie support from 20060513, which
7931	  caused unexpected reset of attributes, e.g., when resizing test/view
7932	  in color mode.
7933	+ note in clear manpage that the program ignores command-line
7934	  parameters (prompted by Debian #371855).
7935	+ fixes to make lib_gen.c build properly with changes to the configure
7936	  --disable-macros option and NCURSES_NOMACROS (cf:  20060527)
7937	+ update/correct several terminfo entries -TD
7938	+ add some notes regarding copyright to terminfo.src -TD
7939
794020060625
7941	+ fixes to build Ada95 binding with gnat-4.1.0
7942	+ modify read_termtype() so the term_names data is always allocated as
7943	  part of the str_table, a better fix for a memory leak (cf: 20030809).
7944	+ reduce memory leaks in repeated calls to tgetent() by remembering the
7945	  last TERMINAL* value allocated to hold the corresponding data and
7946	  freeing that if the tgetent() result buffer is the same as the
7947	  previous call (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
7948	+ modify tack to test extended capability function-key strings.
7949	+ improved gnome terminfo entry (GenToo #122566).
7950	+ improved xterm-256color terminfo entry (patch by Alain Bench).
7951
795220060617
7953	+ fix two small memory leaks related to repeated tgetent() calls
7954	  with TERM=screen (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
7955	+ add --enable-signed-char to simplify Debian package.
7956	+ reduce name-pollution in term.h by removing #define's for HAVE_xxx
7957	  symbols.
7958	+ correct typo in curs_terminfo.3x (Debian #369168).
7959
796020060603
7961	+ enable the mouse in test/movewindow.c
7962	+ improve a limit-check in frm_def.c (John Heasley).
7963	+ minor copyright fixes.
7964	+ change configure script to produce test/Makefile from data file.
7965
796620060527
7967	+ add a configure option --enable-wgetch-events to enable
7968	  NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS, and correct the associated loop-logic in
7969	  lib_twait.c (report by Bernd Jendrissek).
7970	+ remove include/nomacros.h from build, since the ifdef for
7971	  NCURSES_NOMACROS makes that obsolete.
7972	+ add entrypoints for some functions which were only provided as macros
7973	  to make NCURSES_NOMACROS ifdef work properly:  getcurx(), getcury(),
7974	  getbegx(), getbegy(), getmaxx(), getmaxy(), getparx() and getpary(),
7975	  wgetbkgrnd().
7976	+ provide ifdef for NCURSES_NOMACROS which suppresses most macro
7977	  definitions from curses.h, i.e., where a macro is defined to override
7978	  a function to improve performance.  Allowing a developer to suppress
7979	  these definitions can simplify some application (discussion with
7980	  Stanislav Ievlev).
7981	+ improve description of memu/meml in terminfo manpage.
7982
798320060520
7984	+ if msgr is false, reset video attributes when doing an automargin
7985	  wrap to the next line.  This makes the ncurses 'k' test work properly
7986	  for hpterm.
7987	+ correct caching of keyname(), which was using only half of its table.
7988	+ minor fixes to memory-leak checking.
7989	+ make SCREEN._acs_map and SCREEN._screen_acs_map pointers rather than
7990	  arrays, making ACS_LEN less visible to applications (suggested by
7991	  Stanislav Ievlev).
7992	+ move chunk in SCREEN ifdef'd for USE_WIDEC_SUPPORT to the end, so
7993	  _screen_acs_map will have the same offset in both ncurses/ncursesw,
7994	  making the corresponding tinfo/tinfow libraries binary-compatible
7995	  (cf: 20041016, report by Stanislav Ievlev).
7996
799720060513
7998	+ improve debug-tracing for EmitRange().
7999	+ change default for --with-develop to "yes".  Add NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS
8000	  and NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE environment variables to allow runtime
8001	  suppression of the related hard-tabs and xmc-glitch features.
8002	+ add ncurses version number to top-level manpages, e.g., ncurses, tic,
8003	  infocmp, terminfo as well as form, menu, panel.
8004	+ update config.guess, config.sub
8005	+ modify ncurses.c to work around a bug in NetBSD 3.0 curses
8006	  (field_buffer returning null for a valid field).  The 'r' test
8007	  appears to not work with that configuration since the new_fieldtype()
8008	  function is broken in that implementation.
8009
801020060506
8011	+ add hpterm-color terminfo entry -TD
8012	+ fixes to compile test-programs with HPUX 11.23
8013
801420060422
8015	+ add copyright notices to files other than those that are generated,
8016	  data or adapted from pdcurses (reports by William McBrine, David
8017	  Taylor).
8018	+ improve rendering on hpterm by not resetting attributes at the end
8019	  of doupdate() if the terminal has the magic-cookie feature (report
8020	  by Bernd Rieke).
8021	+ add 256color variants of terminfo entries for programs which are
8022	  reported to implement this feature -TD
8023
802420060416
8025	+ fix typo in change to NewChar() macro from 20060311 changes, which
8026	  broke tab-expansion (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
8027
802820060415
8029	+ document -U option of tic and infocmp.
8030	+ modify tic/infocmp to suppress smacs/rmacs when acsc is suppressed
8031	  due to size limit, e.g., converting to termcap format.  Also
8032	  suppress them if the output format does not contain acsc and it
8033	  was not VT100-like, i.e., a one-one mapping (Novell #163715).
8034	+ add configure check to ensure that SIGWINCH is defined on platforms
8035	  such as OS X which exclude that when _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., are
8036	  defined (report by Nicholas Cole)
8037
803820060408
8039	+ modify write_object() to not write coincidental extensions of an
8040	  entry made due to it being referenced in a use= clause (report by
8041	  Alain Bench).
8042	+ another fix for infocmp -i option, which did not ensure that some
8043	  escape sequences had comparable prefixes (report by Alain Bench).
8044
804520060401
8046	+ improve discussion of init/reset in terminfo and tput manpages
8047	  (report by Alain Bench).
8048	+ use is3 string for a fallback of rs3 in the reset program; it was
8049	  using is2 (report by Alain Bench).
8050	+ correct logic for infocmp -i option, which did not account for
8051	  multiple digits in a parameter (cf: 20040828) (report by Alain
8052	  Bench).
8053	+ move _nc_handle_sigwinch() to lib_setup.c to make --with-termlib
8054	  option work after 20060114 changes (report by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz).
8055	+ add copyright notices to test-programs as needed (report by William
8056	  McBrine).
8057
805820060318
8059	+ modify ncurses.c 'F' test to combine the wide-characters with color
8060	  and/or video attributes.
8061	+ modify test/ncurses to use CTL/Q or ESC consistently for exiting
8062	  a test-screen (some commands used 'x' or 'q').
8063
806420060312
8065	+ fix an off-by-one in the scrolling-region change (cf_ 20060311).
8066
806720060311
8068	+ add checks in waddchnstr() and wadd_wchnstr() to stop copying when
8069	  a null character is found (report by Igor Bogomazov).
8070	+ modify progs/Makefile.in to make "tput init" work properly with
8071	  cygwin, i.e., do not pass a ".exe" in the reference string used
8072	  in check_aliases (report by Samuel Thibault).
8073	+ add some checks to ensure current position is within scrolling
8074	  region before scrolling on a new line (report by Dan Gookin).
8075	+ change some NewChar() usage to static variables to work around
8076	  stack garbage introduced when cchar_t is not packed (Redhat #182024).
8077
807820060225
8079	+ workarounds to build test/movewindow with PDcurses 2.7.
8080	+ fix for nsterm-16color entry (patch by Alain Bench).
8081	+ correct a typo in infocmp manpage (Debian #354281).
8082
808320060218
8084	+ add nsterm-16color entry -TD
8085	+ updated mlterm terminfo entry -TD
8086	+ remove 970913 feature for copying subwindows as they are moved in
8087	  mvwin() (discussion with Bryan Christ).
8088	+ modify test/demo_menus.c to demonstrate moving a menu (both the
8089	  window and subwindow) using shifted cursor-keys.
8090	+ start implementing recursive mvwin() in movewindow.c (incomplete).
8091	+ add a fallback definition for GCC_PRINTFLIKE() in test.priv.h,
8092	  for movewindow.c (report by William McBrine).
8093	+ add help-message to test/movewindow.c
8094
809520060211
8096	+ add test/movewindow.c, to test mvderwin().
8097	+ fix ncurses soft-key test so color changes are shown immediately
8098	  rather than delayed.
8099	+ modify ncurses soft-key test to hide the keys when exiting the test
8100	  screen.
8101	+ fixes to build test programs with PDCurses 2.7, e.g., its headers
8102	  rely on autoconf symbols, and it declares stubs for nonfunctional
8103	  terminfo and termcap entrypoints.
8104
810520060204
8106	+ improved test/configure to build test/ncurses on HPUX 11 using the
8107	  vendor curses.
8108	+ documented ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS in the ncurses manpage, for the
8109	  benefit of developers who do not read INSTALL.
8110
811120060128
8112	+ correct form library Window_To_Buffer() change (cf:  20040516), which
8113	  should ignore the video attributes (report by Ricardo Cantu).
8114
811520060121
8116	+ minor fixes to xmc-glitch experimental code:
8117	  + suppress line-drawing
8118	  + implement max_attributes
8119	  tested with xterm.
8120	+ minor fixes for the database iterator.
8121	+ fix some buffer limits in c++ demo (comment by Falk Hueffner in
8122	  Debian #348117).
8123
812420060114
8125	+ add toe -a option, to show all databases.  This uses new private
8126	  interfaces in the ncurses library for iterating through the list of
8127	  databases.
8128	+ fix toe from 20000909 changes which made it not look at
8129	  $HOME/.terminfo
8130	+ make toe's -v option parameter optional as per manpage.
8131	+ improve SIGWINCH handling by postponing its effect during newterm(),
8132	  etc., when allocating screens.
8133
813420060111
8135	+ modify wgetnstr() to return KEY_RESIZE if a sigwinch occurs.  Use
8136	  this in test/filter.c
8137	+ fix an error in filter() modification which caused some applications
8138	  to fail.
8139
814020060107
8141	+ check if filter() was called when getting the screensize.  Keep it
8142	  at 1 if so (based on Redhat #174498).
8143	+ add extension nofilter().
8144	+ refined the workaround for ACS mapping.
8145	+ make ifdef's consistent in curses.h for the extended colors so the
8146	  header file can be used for the normal curses library.  The header
8147	  file installed for extended colors is a variation of the
8148	  wide-character configuration (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
8149
815020051231
8151	+ add a workaround to ACS mapping to allow applications such as
8152	  test/blue.c to use the "PC ROM" characters by masking them with
8153	  A_ALTCHARSET.  This worked up til 5.5, but was lost in the revision
8154	  of legacy coding (report by Michael Deutschmann).
8155	+ add a null-pointer check in the wide-character version of
8156	  calculate_actual_width() (report by Victor Julien).
8157	+ improve test/ncurses 'd' (color-edit) test by allowing the RGB
8158	  values to be set independently (patch by William McBrine).
8159	+ modify test/configure script to allow building test programs with
8160	  PDCurses/X11.
8161	+ modified test programs to allow some to work with NetBSD curses.
8162	  Several do not because NetBSD curses implements a subset of X/Open
8163	  curses, and also lacks much of SVr4 additions.  But it's enough for
8164	  comparison.
8165	+ update config.guess and config.sub
8166
816720051224
8168	+ use BSD-specific fix for return-value from cgetent() from CVS where
8169	  an unknown terminal type would be reportd as "database not found".
8170	+ make tgetent() return code more readable using new symbols
8171	  TGETENT_YES, etc.
8172	+ remove references to non-existent "tctest" program.
8173	+ remove TESTPROGS from progs/Makefile.in (it was referring to code
8174	  that was never built in that directory).
8175	+ typos in curs_addchstr.3x, some doc files (noticed in OpenBSD CVS).
8176
817720051217
8178	+ add use_legacy_coding() function to support lynx's font-switching
8179	  feature.
8180	+ fix formatting in curs_termcap.3x (report by Mike Frysinger).
8181	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to change preprocessor-expanded _Bool back to
8182	  bool.
8183
818420051210
8185	+ extend test/ncurses.c 's' (overlay window) test to exercise overlay(),
8186	  overwrite() and copywin() with different combinations of colors and
8187	  attributes (including background color) to make it easy to see the
8188	  effect of the different functions.
8189	+ corrections to menu/m_global.c for wide-characters (report by
8190	  Victor Julien).
8191
819220051203
8193	+ add configure option --without-dlsym, allowing developers to
8194	  configure GPM support without using dlsym() (discussion with Michael
8195	  Setzer).
8196	+ fix wins_nwstr(), which did not handle single-column non-8bit codes
8197	  (Debian #341661).
8198
819920051126
8200	+ move prototypes for wide-character trace functions from curses.tail
8201	  to curses.wide to avoid accidental reference to those if
8202	  _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined without ensuring that <wchar.h> is
8203	  included.
8204	+ add/use NCURSES_INLINE definition.
8205	+ change some internal functions to use int/unsigned rather than the
8206	  short equivalents.
8207
820820051119
8209	+ remove a redundant check in lib_color.c (Debian #335655).
8210	+ use ld's -search_paths_first option on Darwin to work around odd
8211	  search rules on that platform (report by Christian Gennerat, analysis
8212	  by Andrea Govoni).
8213	+ remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro.
8214	+ ignore EINTR in tcgetattr/tcsetattr calls (Debian #339518).
8215	+ fix several bugs in test/bs.c (patch by Stephen Lindholm).
8216
821720051112
8218	+ other minor fixes to cygwin based on tack -TD
8219	+ correct smacs in cygwin (Debian #338234, report by Baurzhan
8220	  Ismagulov, who noted that it was fixed in Cygwin).
8221
822220051029
8223	+ add shifted up/down arrow codes to xterm-new as kind/kri strings -TD
8224	+ modify wbkgrnd() to avoid clearing the A_CHARTEXT attribute bits
8225	  since those record the state of multicolumn characters (Debian
8226	  #316663).
8227	+ modify werase to clear multicolumn characters that extend into
8228	  a derived window (Debian #316663).
8229
823020051022
8231	+ move assignment from environment variable ESCDELAY from initscr()
8232	  down to newterm() so the environment variable affects timeouts for
8233	  terminals opened with newterm() as well.
8234	+ fix a memory leak in keyname().
8235	+ add test/demo_altkeys.c
8236	+ modify test/demo_defkey.c to exit from loop via 'q' to allow
8237	  leak-checking, as well as fix a buffer size in winnstr() call.
8238
823920051015
8240	+ correct order of use-clauses in rxvt-basic entry which made codes for
8241	  f1-f4 vt100-style rather than vt220-style (report by Gabor Z Papp).
8242	+ suppress configure check for gnatmake if Ada95/Makefile.in is not
8243	  found.
8244	+ correct a typo in configure --with-bool option for the case where
8245	  --without-cxx is used (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
8246	+ add a note to INSTALL's discussion of --with-normal, pointing out
8247	  that one may wish to use --without-gpm to ensure a completely
8248	  static link (prompted by report by Felix von Leitner).
8249
825020051010 5.5 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
8251
825220051008
8253	+ document in demo_forms.c some portability issues.
8254
825520051001
8256	+ document side-effect of werase() which sets the cursor position.
8257	+ save/restore the current position in form field editing to make
8258	  overlay mode work.
8259
826020050924
8261	+ correct header dependencies in progs, allowing parallel make (report
8262	  by Daniel Jacobowitz).
8263	+ modify CF_BUILD_CC to ensure that pre-setting $BUILD_CC overrides
8264	  the configure check for --with-build-cc (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
8265	+ modify CF_CFG_DEFAULTS to not use /usr as the default prefix for
8266	  NetBSD.
8267	+ update config.guess and config.sub from
8268		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
8269
827020050917
8271	+ modify sed expression which computes path for /usr/lib/terminfo
8272	  symbolic link in install to ensure that it does not change unexpected
8273	  levels of the path (Gentoo #42336).
8274	+ modify default for --disable-lp64 configure option to reduce impact
8275	  on existing 64-bit builds.  Enabling the _LP64 option may change the
8276	  size of chtype and mmask_t.  However, for ABI 6, it is enabled by
8277	  default (report by Mike Frysinger).
8278	+ add configure script check for --enable-ext-mouse, bump ABI to 6 by
8279	  default if it is used.
8280	+ improve configure script logic for bumping ABI to omit this if the
8281	  --with-abi-version option was used.
8282	+ update address for Free Software Foundation in tack's source.
8283	+ correct wins_wch(), which was not marking the filler-cells of
8284	  multi-column characters (cf:  20041023).
8285
828620050910
8287	+ modify mouse initialization to ensure that Gpm_Open() is called only
8288	  once.  Otherwise GPM gets confused in its initialization of signal
8289	  handlers (Debian #326709).
8290
829120050903
8292	+ modify logic for backspacing in a multiline form field to ensure that
8293	  it works even when the preceding line is full (report by Frank van
8294	  Vugt).
8295	+ remove comment about BUGS section of ncurses manpage (Debian #325481)
8296
829720050827
8298	+ document some workarounds for shared and libtool library
8299	  configurations in INSTALL (see --with-shared and --with-libtool).
8300	+ modify CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GXX_VERSION macros to accommodate
8301	  cross-compilers which emit the platform name in their version
8302	  message, e.g.,
8303		arm-sa1100-linux-gnu-g++ (GCC) 4.0.1
8304	  (report by Frank van Vugt).
8305
830620050820
8307	+ start updating documentation for upcoming 5.5 release.
8308	+ fix to make libtool  and libtinfo work together again (cf: 20050122).
8309	+ fixes to allow building traces into libtinfo
8310	+ add debug trace to tic that shows if/how ncurses will write to the
8311	  lower corner of a terminal's screen.
8312	+ update llib-l* files.
8313
831420050813
8315	+ modify initializers in c++ binding to build with old versions of g++.
8316	+ improve special case for 20050115 repainting fix, ensuring that if
8317	  the first changed cell is not a character that the range to be
8318	  repainted is adjusted to start at a character's beginning (Debian
8319	  #316663).
8320
832120050806
8322	+ fixes to build on QNX 6.1
8323	+ improve configure script checks for Intel 9.0 compiler.
8324	+ remove #include's for libc.h (obsolete).
8325	+ adjust ifdef's in curses.priv.h so that when cross-compiling to
8326	  produce comp_hash and make_keys, no dependency on wchar.h is needed.
8327	  That simplifies the build-cppflags (report by Frank van Vugt).
8328	+ move modules related to key-binding into libtinfo to fix linkage
8329	  problem caused by 20050430 changes to MKkeyname.sh (report by
8330	  Konstantin Andreev).
8331
833220050723
8333	+ updates/fixes for configure script macros from vile -TD
8334	+ make prism9's sgr string agree with the rest of the terminfo -TD
8335	+ make vt220's sgr0 string consistent with sgr string, do this for
8336	  several related cases -TD
8337	+ improve translation to termcap by filtering the 'me' (sgr0) strings
8338	  as in the runtime call to tgetent() (prompted by a discussion with
8339	  Thomas Klausner).
8340	+ improve tic check for sgr0 versus sgr(0), to help ensure that sgr0
8341	  resets line-drawing.
8342
834320050716
8344	+ fix special cases for trimming sgr0 for hurd and vt220 (Debian
8345	  #318621).
8346	+ split-out _nc_trim_sgr0() from modifications made to tgetent(), to
8347	  allow it to be used by tic to provide information about the runtime
8348	  changes that would be made to sgr0 for termcap applications.
8349	+ modify make_sed.sh to make the group-name in the NAME section of
8350	  form/menu library manpage agree with the TITLE string when renaming
8351	  is done for Debian (Debian #78866).
8352
835320050702
8354	+ modify parameter type in c++ binding for insch() and mvwinsch() to
8355	  be consistent with underlying ncurses library (was char, is chtype).
8356	+ modify treatment of Intel compiler to allow _GNU_SOURCE to be defined
8357	  on Linux.
8358	+ improve configure check for nanosleep(), checking that it works since
8359	  some older systems such as AIX 4.3 have a nonworking version.
8360
836120050625
8362	+ update config.guess and config.sub from
8363		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
8364	+ modify misc/shlib to work in test-directory.
8365	+ suppress $suffix in misc/run_tic.sh when cross-compiling.  This
8366	  allows cross-compiles to use the host's tic program to handle the
8367	  "make install.data" step.
8368	+ improve description of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables in manpages
8369	  (prompted by report by Dave Ulrick).
8370	+ improve description of cross-compiling in INSTALL
8371	+ add NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html by Pradeep Padala
8372	  (see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/).
8373	+ modify configure script to obtain soname for GPM library (discussion
8374	  with Daniel Jacobowitz).
8375	+ modify configure script so that --with-chtype option will still
8376	  compute the unsigned literals suffix for constants in curses.h
8377	  (report by Daniel Jacobowitz:
8378	+ patches from Daniel Jacobowitz:
8379	  + the man_db.renames entry for tack.1 was backwards.
8380	  + tack.1 had some 1m's that should have been 1M's.
8381	  + the section for curs_inwstr.3 was wrong.
8382
838320050619
8384	+ correction to --with-chtype option (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
8385
838620050618
8387	+ move build-time edit_man.sh and edit_man.sed scripts to top directory
8388	  to simplify reusing them for renaming tack's manpage (prompted by a
8389	  review of Debian package).
8390	+ revert minor optimization from 20041030 (Debian #313609).
8391	+ libtool-specific fixes, tested with libtool 1.4.3, 1.5.0, 1.5.6,
8392	  1.5.10 and 1.5.18 (all work except as noted previously for the c++
8393	  install using libtool 1.5.0):
8394	  + modify the clean-rule in c++/Makefile.in to work with IRIX64 make
8395	    program.
8396	  + use $(LIBTOOL_UNINSTALL) symbol, overlooked in 20030830
8397	+ add configure options --with-chtype and --with-mmask-t, to allow
8398	  overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of the corresponding types.
8399	+ revise test for size of chtype (and mmask_t), which always returned
8400	  "long" due to an uninitialized variable (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
8401
840220050611
8403	+ change _tracef's that used "%p" format for va_list values to ignore
8404	  that, since on some platforms those are not pointers.
8405	+ fixes for long-formats in printf's due to largefile support.
8406
840720050604
8408	+ fixes for termcap support:
8409	  + reset pointer to _nc_curr_token.tk_name when the input stream is
8410	    closed, which could point to free memory (cf: 20030215).
8411	  + delink TERMTYPE data which is used by the termcap reader, so that
8412	    extended names data will be freed consistently.
8413	  + free pointer to TERMTYPE data in _nc_free_termtype() rather than
8414	    its callers.
8415	  + add some entrypoints for freeing permanently allocated data via
8416	    _nc_freeall() when NO_LEAKS is defined.
8417	+ amend 20041030 change to _nc_do_color to ensure that optimization is
8418	  applied only when the terminal supports back_color_erase (bce).
8419
842020050528
8421	+ add sun-color terminfo entry -TD
8422	+ correct a missing assignment in c++ binding's method
8423	  NCursesPanel::UserPointer() from 20050409 changes.
8424	+ improve configure check for large-files, adding check for dirent64
8425	  from vile -TD
8426	+ minor change to configure script to improve linker options for the
8427	  Ada95 tree.
8428
842920050515
8430	+ document error conditions for ncurses library functions (report by
8431	  Stanislav Ievlev).
8432	+ regenerated html documentation for ada binding.
8433	  see ftp://ftp.invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/gnathtml
8434
843520050507
8436	+ regenerated html documentation for manpages.
8437	+ add $(BUILD_EXEEXT) suffix to invocation of make_keys in
8438	  ncurses/Makefile (Gentoo #89772).
8439	+ modify c++/demo.cc to build with g++ -fno-implicit-templates option
8440	  (patch by Mike Frysinger).
8441	+ modify tic to filter out long extended names when translating to
8442	  termcap format.  Only two characters are permissible for termcap
8443	  capability names.
8444
844520050430
8446	+ modify terminfo entries xterm-new and rxvt to add strings for
8447	  shift-, control-cursor keys.
8448	+ workaround to allow c++ binding to compile with g++ 2.95.3, which
8449	  has a broken implementation of static_cast<> (patch by Jeff Chua).
8450	+ modify initialization of key lookup table so that if an extended
8451	  capability (tic -x) string is defined, and its name begins with 'k',
8452	  it will automatically be treated as a key.
8453	+ modify test/keynames.c to allow for the possibility of extended
8454	  key names, e.g., via define_key(), or via "tic -x".
8455	+ add test/demo_termcap.c to show the contents of given entry via the
8456	  termcap interface.
8457
845820050423
8459	+ minor fixes for vt100/vt52 entries -TD
8460	+ add configure option --enable-largefile
8461	+ corrected libraries used to build Ada95/gen/gen, found in testing
8462	  gcc 4.0.0.
8463
846420050416
8465	+ update config.guess, config.sub
8466	+ modify configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, disable that on
8467	  Darwin whose header files have problems (patch by Chris Zubrzycki).
8468	+ modify form library Is_Printable_String() to use iswprint() rather
8469	  than wcwidth() for determining if a character is printable.  The
8470	  latter caused it to reject menu items containing non-spacing
8471	  characters.
8472	+ modify ncurses test program's F-test to handle non-spacing characters
8473	  by combining them with a reverse-video blank.
8474	+ review/fix several gcc -Wconversion warnings.
8475
847620050409
8477	+ correct an off-by-one error in m_driver() for mouse-clicks used to
8478	  position the mouse to a particular item.
8479	+ implement test/demo_menus.c
8480	+ add some checks in lib_mouse to ensure SP is set.
8481	+ modify C++ binding to make 20050403 changes work with the configure
8482	  --enable-const option.
8483
848420050403
8485	+ modify start_color() to return ERR if it cannot allocate memory.
8486	+ address g++ compiler warnings in C++ binding by adding explicit
8487	  member initialization, assignment operators and copy constructors.
8488	  Most of the changes simply preserve the existing semantics of the
8489	  binding, which can leak memory, etc., but by making these features
8490	  visible, it provides a framework for improving the binding.
8491	+ improve C++ binding using static_cast, etc.
8492	+ modify configure script --enable-warnings to add options to g++ to
8493	  correspond to the gcc --enable-warnings.
8494	+ modify C++ binding to use some C internal functions to make it
8495	  compile properly on Solaris (and other platforms).
8496
849720050327
8498	+ amend change from 20050320 to limit it to configurations with a
8499	  valid locale.
8500	+ fix a bug introduced in 20050320 which broke the translation of
8501	  nonprinting characters to uparrow form (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
8502
850320050326
8504	+ add ifdef's for _LP64 in curses.h to avoid using wasteful 64-bits for
8505	  chtype and mmask_t, but add configure option --disable-lp64 in case
8506	  anyone used that configuration.
8507	+ update misc/shlib script to account for Mac OS X (report by Michail
8508	  Vidiassov).
8509	+ correct comparison for wrapping multibyte characters in
8510	  waddch_literal() (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
8511
851220050320
8513	+ add -c and -w options to tset to allow user to suppress ncurses'
8514	  resizing of the terminal emulator window in the special case where it
8515	  is not able to detect the true size (report by Win Delvaux, Debian
8516	  #300419).
8517	+ modify waddch_nosync() to account for locale zn_CH.GBK, which uses
8518	  codes 128-159 as part of multibyte characters (report by Wang
8519	  WenRui, Debian #300512).
8520
852120050319
8522	+ modify ncurses.c 'd' test to make it work with 88-color
8523	  configuration, i.e., by implementing scrolling.
8524	+ improve scrolling in ncurses.c 'c' and 'C' tests, e.g., for 88-color
8525	  configuration.
8526
852720050312
8528	+ change tracemunch to use strict checking.
8529	+ modify ncurses.c 'p' test to test line-drawing within a pad.
8530	+ implement environment variable NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS to support
8531	  miscellaneous terminal emulators which ignore alternate character
8532	  set escape sequences when in UTF-8 mode.
8533
853420050305
8535	+ change NCursesWindow::err_handler() to a virtual function (request by
8536	  Steve Beal).
8537	+ modify fty_int.c and fty_num.c to handle wide characters (report by
8538	  Wolfgang Gutjahr).
8539	+ adapt fix for fty_alpha.c to fty_alnum.c, which also handled normal
8540	  and wide characters inconsistently (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
8541	+ update llib-* files to reflect internal interface additions/changes.
8542
854320050226
8544	+ improve test/configure script, adding tests for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc.,
8545	  from lynx.
8546	+ add aixterm-16color terminfo entry -TD
8547	+ modified xterm-new terminfo entry to work with tgetent() changes -TD
8548	+ extended changes in tgetent() from 20040710 to allow the substring of
8549	  sgr0 which matches rmacs to be at the beginning of the sgr0 string
8550	  (request by Thomas Wolff).  Wolff says the visual effect in
8551	  combination with pre-20040710 ncurses is improved.
8552	+ fix off-by-one in winnstr() call which caused form field validation
8553	  of multibyte characters to ignore the last character in a field.
8554	+ correct logic in winsch() for inserting multibyte strings; the code
8555	  would clear cells after the insertion rather than push them to the
8556	  right (cf: 20040228).
8557	+ fix an inconsistency in Check_Alpha_Field() between normal and wide
8558	  character logic (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
8559
856020050219
8561	+ fix a bug in editing wide-characters in form library: deleting a
8562	  nonwide character modified the previous wide-character.
8563	+ update manpage to describe NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2.
8564	+ correct manpage description of mouseinterval() (Debian #280687).
8565	+ add a note to default_colors.3x explaining why this extension was
8566	  added (Debian #295083).
8567	+ add traces to panel library.
8568
856920050212
8570	+ improve editing of wide-characters in form library:  left/right
8571	  cursor movement, and single-character deletions work properly.
8572	+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM happens to be prefixed with
8573	  "xterm".  Gpm_Open() would otherwise assert that it can deal with
8574	  mouse events in this case.
8575	+ modify GPM mouse support so it closes the server connection when
8576	  the caller disables the mouse (report by Stanislav Ievlev).
8577
857820050205
8579	+ add traces for callback functions in form library.
8580	+ add experimental configure option --enable-ext-mouse, which defines
8581	  NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies the encoding of mouse events to
8582	  support wheel mice, which may transmit buttons 4 and 5.  This works
8583	  with xterm and similar X terminal emulators (prompted by question by
8584	  Andreas Henningsson, this is also related to Debian #230990).
8585	+ improve configure macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE to
8586	  avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin.
8587
858820050129
8589	+ merge remaining development changes for extended colors (mostly
8590	  complete, does not appear to break other configurations).
8591	+ add xterm-88color.dat (part of extended colors testing).
8592	+ improve _tracedump() handling of color pairs past 96.
8593	+ modify return-value from start_color() to return OK if colors have
8594	  already been started.
8595	+ modify curs_color.3x list error conditions for init_pair(),
8596	  pair_content() and color_content().
8597	+ modify pair_content() to return -1 for consistency with init_pair()
8598	  if it corresponds to the default-color.
8599	+ change internal representation of default-color to allow application
8600	  to use color number 255.  This does not affect the total number of
8601	  color pairs which are allowed.
8602	+ add a top-level tags rule.
8603
860420050122
8605	+ add a null-pointer check in wgetch() in case it is called without
8606	  first calling initscr().
8607	+ add some null-pointer checks for SP, which is not set by libtinfo.
8608	+ modify misc/shlib to ensure that absolute pathnames are used.
8609	+ modify test/Makefile.in, etc., to link test programs only against the
8610	  libraries needed, e.g., omit form/menu/panel library for the ones
8611	  that are curses-specific.
8612	+ change SP->_current_attr to a pointer, adjust ifdef's to ensure that
8613	  libtinfo.so and libtinfow.so have the same ABI.  The reason for this
8614	  is that the corresponding data which belongs to the upper-level
8615	  ncurses library has a different size in each model (report by
8616	  Stanislav Ievlev).
8617
861820050115
8619	+ minor fixes to allow test-compiles with g++.
8620	+ correct column value shown in tic's warnings, which did not account
8621	  for leading whitespace.
8622	+ add a check in _nc_trans_string() for improperly ended strings, i.e.,
8623	  where a following line begins in column 1.
8624	+ modify _nc_save_str() to return a null pointer on buffer overflow.
8625	+ improve repainting while scrolling wide-character data (Eungkyu Song).
8626
862720050108
8628	+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
8629
863020050101
8631	+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
8632	+ fix manpage typo (FreeBSD report docs/75544).
8633	+ update config.guess, config.sub
8634	> patches for configure script (Albert Chin-A-Young):
8635	+ improved fix to make mbstate_t recognized on HPUX 11i (cf:
8636	  20030705), making vsscanf() prototype visible on IRIX64.  Tested for
8637	  on HP-UX 11i, Solaris 7, 8, 9, AIX 4.3.3, 5.2, Tru64 UNIX 4.0D, 5.1,
8638	  IRIX64 6.5, Redhat Linux 7.1, 9, and RHEL 2.1, 3.0.
8639	+ print the result of the --disable-home-terminfo option.
8640	+ use -rpath when compiling with SGI C compiler.
8641
864220041225
8643	+ add trace calls to remaining public functions in form and menu
8644	  libraries.
8645	+ fix check for numeric digits in test/ncurses.c 'b' and 'B' tests.
8646	+ fix typo in test/ncurses.c 'c' test from 20041218.
8647
864820041218
8649	+ revise test/ncurses.c 'c' color test to improve use for xterm-88color
8650	  and xterm-256color, added 'C' test using the wide-character color_set
8651	  and attr_set functions.
8652
865320041211
8654	+ modify configure script to work with Intel compiler.
8655	+ fix an limit-check in wadd_wchnstr() which caused labels in the
8656	  forms-demo to be one character short.
8657	+ fix typo in curs_addchstr.3x (Jared Yanovich).
8658	+ add trace calls to most functions in form and menu libraries.
8659	+ update working-position for adding wide-characters when window is
8660	  scrolled (prompted by related report by Eungkyu Song).
8661
866220041204
8663	+ replace some references on Linux to wcrtomb() which use it to obtain
8664	  the length of a multibyte string with _nc_wcrtomb, since wcrtomb() is
8665	  broken in glibc (see Debian #284260).
8666	+ corrected length-computation in wide-character support for
8667	  field_buffer().
8668	+ some fixes to frm_driver.c to allow it to accept multibyte input.
8669	+ modify configure script to work with Intel 8.0 compiler.
8670
867120041127
8672	+ amend change to setupterm() in 20030405 which would reuse the value
8673	  of cur_term if the same output was selected.  This now reuses it only
8674	  when setupterm() is called from tgetent(), which has no notion of
8675	  separate SCREENs.  Note that tgetent() must be called after initscr()
8676	  or newterm() to use this feature (Redhat #140326).
8677	+ add a check in CF_BUILD_CC macro to ensure that developer has given
8678	  the --with-build-cc option when cross-compiling (report by Alexandre
8679	  Campo).
8680	+ improved configure script checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE and
8681	  _POSIX_C_SOURCE (fix for IRIX 5.3 from Georg Schwarz, _POSIX_C_SOURCE
8682	  updates from lynx).
8683	+ cosmetic fix to test/gdc.c to recolor the bottom edge of the box
8684	  for consistency (comment by Dan Nelson).
8685
868620041120
8687	+ update wsvt25 terminfo entry -TD
8688	+ modify test/ins_wide.c to test all flavors of ins_wstr().
8689	+ ignore filler-cells in wadd_wchnstr() when adding a cchar_t array
8690	  which consists of multi-column characters, since this function
8691	  constructs them (cf: 20041023).
8692	+ modify winnstr() to return multibyte character strings for the
8693	  wide-character configuration.
8694
869520041106
8696	+ fixes to make slk_set() and slk_wset() accept and store multibyte
8697	  or multicolumn characters.
8698
869920041030
8700	+ improve color optimization a little by making _nc_do_color() check
8701	  if the old/new pairs are equivalent to the default pair 0.
8702	+ modify assume_default_colors() to not require that
8703	  use_default_colors() be called first.
8704
870520041023
8706	+ modify term_attrs() to use termattrs(), add the extended attributes
8707	  such as enter_horizontal_hl_mode for WA_HORIZONTAL to term_attrs().
8708	+ add logic in waddch_literal() to clear orphaned cells when one
8709	  multi-column character partly overwrites another.
8710	+ improved logic for clearing cells when a multi-column character
8711	  must be wrapped to a new line.
8712	+ revise storage of cells for multi-column characters to correct a
8713	  problem with repainting.  In the old scheme, it was possible for
8714	  doupdate() to decide that only part of a multi-column character
8715	  should be repainted since the filler cells stored only an attribute
8716	  to denote them as fillers, rather than the character value and the
8717	  attribute.
8718
871920041016
8720	+ minor fixes for traces.
8721	+ add SP->_screen_acs_map[], used to ensure that mapping of missing
8722	  line-drawing characters is handled properly.  For example, ACS_DARROW
8723	  is absent from xterm-new, and it was coincidentally displayed the
8724	  same as ACS_BTEE.
8725
872620041009
8727	+ amend 20021221 workaround for broken acs to reset the sgr, rmacs
8728	  and smacs strings as well.  Also modify the check for screen's
8729	  limitations in that area to allow the multi-character shift-in
8730	  and shift-out which seem to work.
8731	+ change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it dynamically
8732	  at runtime (Debian #110586).
8733
873420041002
8735	+ correct logic for color pair in setcchar() and getcchar() (patch by
8736	  Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
8737	+ add t/T commands to ncurses b/B tests to allow a different color to
8738	  be tested for the attrset part of the test than is used in the
8739	  background color.
8740
874120040925
8742	+ fix to make setcchar() to work when its wchar_t* parameter is
8743	  pointing to a string which contains more data than can be converted.
8744	+ modify wget_wstr() and example in ncurses.c to work if wchar_t and
8745	  wint_t are different sizes (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
8746
874720040918
8748	+ remove check in wget_wch() added to fix an infinite loop, appears to
8749	  have been working around a transitory glibc bug, and interferes
8750	  with normal operation (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
8751	+ correct wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not pass the rendition
8752	  information (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
8753	+ fix aclocal.m4 so that the wide-character version of ncurses gets
8754	  compiled as libncursesw.5.dylib, instead of libncurses.5w.dylib
8755	  (adapted from patch by James J Ramsey).
8756	+ change configure script for --with-caps option to indicate that it
8757	  is no longer experimental.
8758	+ change configure script to reflect the fact that --enable-widec has
8759	  not been "experimental" since 5.3 (report by Bruno Lustosa).
8760
876120040911
8762	+ add 'B' test to ncurses.c, to exercise some wide-character functions.
8763
876420040828
8765	+ modify infocmp -i option to match 8-bit controls against its table
8766	  entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry.
8767	+ add morphos terminfo entry, improve amiga-8bit entry (Pavel Fedin).
8768	+ correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap, e.g.,
8769	  using "tic -C" (Redhat #130921).
8770	+ modified configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to ensure that if
8771	  it defines _POSIX_C_SOURCE, that it defines it to a specific value
8772	  (comp.os.stratus newsgroup comment).
8773
877420040821
8775	+ fixes to build with Ada95 binding with gnat 3.4 (all warnings are
8776	  fatal, and gnat does not follow the guidelines for pragmas).
8777	  However that did find a coding error in Assume_Default_Colors().
8778	+ modify several terminfo entries to ensure xterm mouse and cursor
8779	  visibility are reset in rs2 string:  hurd, putty, gnome,
8780	  konsole-base, mlterm, Eterm, screen (Debian #265784, Debian #55637).
8781	  The xterm entries are left alone - old ones for compatibility, and
8782	  the new ones do not require this change. -TD
8783
878420040814
8785	+ fake a SIGWINCH in newterm() to accommodate buggy terminal emulators
8786	  and window managers (Debian #265631).
8787	> terminfo updates -TD
8788	+ remove dch/dch1 from rxvt because they are implemented inconsistently
8789	  with the common usage of bce/ech
8790	+ remove khome from vt220 (vt220's have no home key)
8791	+ add rxvt+pcfkeys
8792
879320040807
8794	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test, adding v/V toggles to cycle through
8795	  combinations of video attributes so that for instance bold and
8796	  underline can be tested.  This made the legend too crowded, added
8797	  a help window as well.
8798	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test to cycle through default colors if
8799	  the -d option is set.
8800	+ update putty terminfo entry (Robert de Bath).
8801
880220040731
8803	+ modify test/cardfile.c to allow it to read more data than can be
8804	  displayed.
8805	+ correct logic in resizeterm.c which kept it from processing all
8806	  levels of window hierarchy (reports by Folkert van Heusden,
8807	  Chris Share).
8808
880920040724
8810	+ modify "tic -cv" to ignore delays when comparing strings.  Also
8811	  modify it to ignore a canceled sgr string, e.g., for terminals which
8812	  cannot properly combine attributes in one control sequence.
8813	+ corrections for gnome and konsole entries (Redhat #122815, patch by
8814	  Hans de Goede)
8815	> terminfo updates -TD
8816	+ make ncsa-m rmacs/smacs consistent with sgr
8817	+ add sgr, rc/sc and ech to syscons entries
8818	+ add function-keys to decansi
8819	+ add sgr to mterm-ansi
8820	+ add sgr, civis, cnorm to emu
8821	+ correct/simplify cup in addrinfo
8822
882320040717
8824	> terminfo updates -TD
8825	+ add xterm-pc-fkeys
8826	+ review/update gnome and gnome-rh90 entries (prompted by Redhat
8827	  #122815).
8828	+ review/update konsole entries
8829	+ add sgr, correct sgr0 for kterm and mlterm
8830	+ correct tsl string in kterm
8831
883220040711
8833	+ add configure option --without-xterm-new
8834
883520040710
8836	+ add check in wget_wch() for printable bytes that are not part of a
8837	  multibyte character.
8838	+ modify wadd_wchnstr() to render text using window's background
8839	  attributes.
8840	+ improve tic's check to compare sgr and sgr0.
8841	+ fix c++ directory's .cc.i rule.
8842	+ modify logic in tgetent() which adjusts the termcap "me" string
8843	  to work with ISO-2022 string used in xterm-new (cf: 20010908).
8844	+ modify tic's check for conflicting function keys to omit that if
8845	  converting termcap to termcap format.
8846	+ add -U option to tic and infocmp.
8847	+ add rmam/smam to linux terminfo entry (Trevor Van Bremen)
8848	> terminfo updates -TD
8849	+ minor fixes for emu
8850	+ add emu-220
8851	+ change wyse acsc strings to use 'i' map rather than 'I'
8852	+ fixes for avatar0
8853	+ fixes for vp3a+
8854
885520040703
8856	+ use tic -x to install terminfo database -TD
8857	+ add -x to infocmp's usage message.
8858	+ correct field used for comparing O_ROWMAJOR in set_menu_format()
8859	  (report/patch by Tony Li).
8860	+ fix a missing nul check in set_field_buffer() from 20040508 changes.
8861	> terminfo updates -TD
8862	  + make xterm-xf86-v43 derived from xterm-xf86-v40 rather than
8863	    xterm-basic -TD
8864	  + align with xterm patch #192's use of xterm-new -TD
8865	  + update xterm-new and xterm-8bit for cvvis/cnorm strings -TD
8866	  + make xterm-new the default "xterm" entry -TD
8867
886820040626
8869	+ correct BUILD_CPPFLAGS substitution in ncurses/Makefile.in, to allow
8870	  cross-compiling from a separate directory tree (report/patch by
8871	  Dan Engel).
8872	+ modify is_term_resized() to ensure that window sizes are nonzero,
8873	  as documented in the manpage (report by Ian Collier).
8874	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro to make Hurd port build
8875	  (Debian #249214, report/patch by Jeff Bailey).
8876	+ configure-script mods from xterm, e.g., updates to CF_ADD_CFLAGS
8877	+ update config.guess, config.sub
8878	> terminfo updates -TD
8879	  + add mlterm
8880	  + add xterm-xf86-v44
8881	  + modify xterm-new aka xterm-xfree86 to accommodate luit, which
8882	    relies on G1 being used via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (report by
8883	    Juliusz Chroboczek)
8884	  + add 'hurd' entry
8885
888620040619
8887	+ reconsidered winsnstr(), decided after comparing other
8888	  implementations that wrapping is an X/Open documentation error.
8889	+ modify test/inserts.c to test all flavors of insstr().
8890
889120040605
8892	+ add setlocale() calls to a few test programs which may require it:
8893	  demo_forms.c, filter.c, ins_wide.c, inserts.c
8894	+ correct a few misspelled function names in ncurses-intro.html (report
8895	  by Tony Li).
8896	+ correct internal name of key_defined() manpage, which conflicted with
8897	  define_key().
8898
889920040529
8900	+ correct size of internal pad used for holding wide-character
8901	  field_buffer() results.
8902	+ modify data_ahead() to work with wide-characters.
8903
890420040522
8905	+ improve description of terminfo if-then-else expressions (suggested
8906	  by Arne Thomassen).
8907	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'd' test, allow it to use external file for
8908	  initial palette (added xterm-16color.dat and linux-color.dat), and
8909	  reset colors to the initial palette when starting/ending the test.
8910	+ change limit-check in init_color() to allow r/g/b component to
8911	  reach 1000 (cf: 20020928).
8912
891320040516
8914	+ modify form library to use cchar_t's rather than char's in the
8915	  wide-character configuration for storing data for field buffers.
8916	+ correct logic of win_wchnstr(), which did not work for more than
8917	  one cell.
8918
891920040508
8920	+ replace memset/memcpy usage in form library with for-loops to
8921	  simplify changing the datatype of FIELD.buf, part of wide-character
8922	  changes.
8923	+ fix some inconsistent use of #if/#ifdef (report by Alain Guibert).
8924
892520040501
8926	+ modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by
8927	  multibyte character strings, in the wide-character configuration
8928	  (adapted from patch by Philipp Tomsich).
8929	+ add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F"
8930	  comparisons.  This modifies infocmp to only report extended
8931	  capabilities if the -x option is given, making this more consistent
8932	  with tic.  Some scripts may break, since infocmp previous gave this
8933	  information without an option.
8934	+ modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the beginning
8935	  of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic.
8936
893720040424
8938	+ minor compiler-warning and test-program fixes.
8939
894020040417
8941	+ modify tic's missing-sgr warning to apply to terminfo only.
8942	+ free some memory leaks in tic.
8943	+ remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending
8944	  beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner).
8945	+ remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
8946	  that extend beyond the screen.  Solaris curses does this.
8947	+ add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older
8948	  curses.
8949	+ add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog.
8950
895120040403
8952	+ modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond
8953	  to an unsigned char.
8954	+ add some limit-checks to guard isprint(), etc., from being used on
8955	  values that do not fit into an unsigned char (report by Sami Farin).
8956
895720040328
8958	+ fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change.
8959
896020040327
8961	+ modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's
8962	  current locale rather than using getenv().  This fixes a case in tin
8963	  which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale
8964	  is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen).
8965	+ add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD.
8966	+ add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr
8967	  string.  This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with
8968	  color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places.
8969	+ correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the
8970	  original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before
8971	  20030802 (Debian #237629).
8972
897320040320
8974	+ modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of
8975	  A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from
8976	  being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the
8977	  raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879).
8978
897920040313
8980	+ fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report
8981	  by Jim Idle).
8982	+ remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses
8983	  some apropos script (Debian #237831).
8984
898520040306
8986	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text,
8987	  set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing
8988	  mode is shown in that test.
8989	+ change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake.
8990	+ correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which
8991	  did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419).
8992
899320040228
8994	+ modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a
8995	  multibyte string.
8996	+ split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it.  X/Open states
8997	  that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other
8998	  insert-functions.  Currently it does not wrap.
8999	+ check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by
9000	  Stanislav Ievlev).
9001	+ split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first.
9002	+ fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC,
9003	  which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report
9004	  by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev).
9005
900620040221
9007	+ some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete
9008	  (request by Mike Aubury).
9009	+ add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of
9010	  stdbool.h, e.g.,
9011		#define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0
9012		#include <curses.h>
9013	  (discussion on XFree86 mailing list).
9014
901520040214
9016	+ modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets
9017	  the name of the terminfo library.  This would allow a packager to
9018	  build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion
9019	  with Stanislav Ievlev).
9020	+ improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and
9021	  $(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew).
9022	+ add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename
9023	  its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to
9024	  ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory
9025	  (prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs).
9026
902720040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
9028	+ update TO-DO.
9029
903020040207 pre-release
9031	+ minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param,
9032	  and do not count %d if it follows a %p.
9033	+ correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255
9034	  range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests.  In POSIX
9035	  locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former
9036	  did.
9037	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac
9038	  OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix
9039	  verified by Scott Corscadden).
9040
904120040131 pre-release
9042	+ modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors
9043	  to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo
9044	  (patch by Stanislav Ievlev).
9045	+ document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage.
9046	+ document special features of unctrl() in manpage.
9047	+ documented interface changes in INSTALL.
9048	+ corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale
9049	  (Debian #230335, cf: 971206).
9050	+ updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
9051	+ fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package.
9052	+ minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5.
9053
905420040125 pre-release
9055	+ amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number
9056	  of cells for a possibly multi-cell character.  The 20030614 change
9057	  forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not
9058	  greater than zero.  However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the
9059	  range 128-255 can give this return value.  The logic now simply
9060	  ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without
9061	  modifying the displayed value.
9062
906320040124 pre-release
9064	+ looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above)
9065	+ modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since
9066	  that works better for cross-compiling.
9067
906820040117 pre-release
9069	+ modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
9070	  work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
9071	  zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
9072	+ add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
9073	  to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
9074	+ add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
9075	+ add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
9076	  Bianchi).
9077	+ modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
9078	  (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz (see Debian
9079	  #227586)).
9080	+ correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
9081	  exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss (see Debian #224443)).
9082	+ modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
9083	+ remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
9084	+ make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
9085	+ improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
9086	  CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
9087	+ add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
9088	  simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
9089	+ add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
9090	  patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
9091	+ fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
9092	  HPUX .so/.sl case.
9093	+ resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
9094	  NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
9095	+ make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
9096	  will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
9097	+ rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool.  The
9098	  intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
9099	  compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
9100	  does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).
9101
910220040110 pre-release
9103	+ change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4
9104	+ revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W
9105	  Sittler).
9106	+ simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the
9107	  configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav
9108	  Ievlev).
9109	+ remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav
9110	  Ievlev).
9111	+ modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs
9112	  such as tic are not linked with the upper-level ncurses library
9113	  (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
9114	+ move version.c from ncurses/base to ncurses/tinfo to allow linking
9115	  of tic, etc., using libtinfo (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
9116
911720040103
9118	+ adjust -D's to build ncursesw on OpenBSD.
9119	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT to make OS/2 build with EXEEXT.
9120	+ add pecho_wchar().
9121	+ remove <wctype.h> include from lib_slk_wset.c which is not needed (or
9122	  available) on older platforms.
9123
912420031227
9125	+ add -D's to build ncursew on FreeBSD 5.1.
9126	+ modify shared library configuration for FreeBSD 4.x/5.x to add the
9127	  soname information (request by Marc Glisse).
9128	+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() to not use MAX_ALIAS, but PATH_MAX only
9129	  for limiting the length of a filename in the terminfo database.
9130	+ modify termname() to return the terminal name used by setupterm()
9131	  rather than $TERM, without truncating to 14 characters as documented
9132	  by X/Open (report by Stanislav Ievlev, cf:  970719).
9133	+ re-add definition for _BSD_TYPES, lost in merge (cf: 20031206).
9134
913520031220
9136	+ add configure option --with-manpage-format=catonly to address
9137	  behavior of BSDI, allow install of man+cat files on NetBSD, whose
9138	  behavior has diverged by requiring both to be present.
9139	+ remove leading blanks from comment-lines in manlinks.sed script to
9140	  work with Tru64 4.0d.
9141	+ add screen.linux terminfo entry (discussion on mutt-users mailing
9142	  list).
9143
914420031213
9145	+ add a check for tic to flag missing backslashes for termcap
9146	  continuation lines.  ncurses reads the whole entry, but termcap
9147	  applications do not.
9148	+ add configure option "--with-manpage-aliases" extending
9149	  "--with-manpage-aliases" to provide the option of generating ".so"
9150	  files rather than symbolic links for manpage aliases.
9151	+ add bool definition in include/curses.h.in for configurations with no
9152	  usable C++ compiler (cf: 20030607).
9153	+ fix pathname of SigAction.h for building with --srcdir (reported by
9154	  Mike Castle).
9155
915620031206
9157	+ folded ncurses/base/sigaction.c into includes of ncurses/SigAction.h,
9158	  since that header is used only within ncurses/tty/lib_tstp.c, for
9159	  non-POSIX systems (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev).
9160	+ remove obsolete _nc_outstr() function (report by Stanislav Ievlev
9161	  <inger@altlinux.org>).
9162	+ add test/background.c and test/color_set.c
9163	+ modify color_set() function to work with color pair 0 (report by
9164	  George Andreou <gbandreo@tem.uoc.gr>).
9165	+ add configure option --with-trace, since defining TRACE seems too
9166	  awkward for some cases.
9167	+ remove a call to _nc_free_termtype() from read_termtype(), since the
9168	  corresponding buffer contents were already zeroed by a memset (cf:
9169	  20000101).
9170	+ improve configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and related definitions,
9171	  adding special cases for Solaris' __EXTENSIONS__ and FreeBSD's
9172	  __BSD_TYPES (reports by Marc Glisse <marc.glisse@normalesup.org>).
9173	+ small fixes to compile on Solaris and IRIX64 using cc.
9174	+ correct typo in check for pre-POSIX sort options in MKkey_defs.sh
9175	  (cf: 20031101).
9176
917720031129
9178	+ modify _nc_gettime() to avoid a problem with arithmetic on unsigned
9179	  values (Philippe Blain).
9180	+ improve the nanosleep() logic in napms() by checking for EINTR and
9181	  restarting (Philippe Blain).
9182	+ correct expression for "%D" in lib_tgoto.c (Juha Jarvi
9183	  <mooz@welho.com>).
9184
918520031122
9186	+ add linux-vt terminfo entry (Andrey V Lukyanov <land@long.yar.ru>).
9187	+ allow "\|" escape in terminfo; tic should not warn about this.
9188	+ save the full pathname of the trace-file the first time it is opened,
9189	  to avoid creating it in different directories if the application
9190	  opens and closes it while changing its working directory.
9191	+ modify configure script to provide a non-empty default for
9192	  $BROKEN_LINKER
9193
919420031108
9195	+ add DJGPP to special case of DOS-style drive letters potentially
9196	  appearing in TERMCAP environment variable.
9197	+ fix some spelling in comments (reports by Jason McIntyre, Jonathon
9198	  Gray).
9199	+ update config.guess, config.sub
9200
920120031101
9202	+ fix a memory leak in error-return from setupterm() (report by
9203	  Stanislav Ievlev <inger@altlinux.org>).
9204	+ use EXEEXT and OBJEXT consistently in makefiles.
9205	+ amend fixes for cross-compiling to use separate executable-suffix
9206	  BUILD_EXEEXT (cf: 20031018).
9207	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for sort utility that does not
9208	  recognize key options, e.g., busybox (report by Peter S Mazinger
9209	  <ps.m@gmx.net>).
9210	+ fix potential out-of-bounds indexing in _nc_infotocap() (found by
9211	  David Krause using some of the new malloc debugging features
9212	  under OpenBSD, patch by Ted Unangst).
9213	+ modify CF_LIB_SUFFIX for Itanium releases of HP-UX, which use a
9214	  ".so" suffix (patch by Jonathan Ward <Jonathan.Ward@hp.com>).
9215
921620031025
9217	+ update terminfo for xterm-xfree86 -TD
9218	+ add check for multiple "tc=" clauses in a termcap to tic.
9219	+ check for missing op/oc in tic.
9220	+ correct _nc_resolve_uses() and _nc_merge_entry() to allow infocmp and
9221	  tic to show cancelled capabilities.  These functions were ignoring
9222	  the state of the target entry, which should be untouched if cancelled.
9223	+ correct comment in tack/output.c (Debian #215806).
9224	+ add some null-pointer checks to lib_options.c (report by Michael
9225	  Bienia).
9226	+ regenerated html documentation.
9227	+ correction to tar-copy.sh, remove a trap command that resulted in
9228	  leaving temporary files (cf: 20030510).
9229	+ remove contact/maintainer addresses for Juergen Pfeifer (his request).
9230
923120031018
9232	+ updated test/configure to reflect changes for libtool (cf: 20030830).
9233	+ fix several places in tack/pad.c which tested and used the parameter-
9234	  and parameterless strings inconsistently, i.e., in pad_rin(),
9235	  pad_il(), pad_indn() and pad_dl() (Debian #215805).
9236	+ minor fixes for configure script and makefiles to cleanup executables
9237	  generated when cross-compiling for DJGPP.
9238	+ modify infocmp to omit check for $TERM for operations that do not
9239	  require it, e.g., "infocmp -e" used to build fallback list (report by
9240	  Egmont Koblinger).
9241
924220031004
9243	+ add terminfo entries for DJGPP.
9244	+ updated note about maintainer in ncurses-intro.html
9245
924620030927
9247	+ update terminfo entries for gnome terminal.
9248	+ modify tack to reset colors after each color test, correct a place
9249	  where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode.
9250	+ improve tack's bce test by making it set colors other than black
9251	  on white.
9252	+ plug a potential recursion between napms() and _nc_timed_wait()
9253	  (report by Philippe Blain).
9254
925520030920
9256	+ add --with-rel-version option to allow workaround to allow making
9257	  libtool on Darwin generate the "same" library names as with the
9258	  --with-shared option.  The Darwin ld program does not work well
9259	  with a zero as the minor-version value (request by Chris Zubrzycki).
9260	+ modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro to work with cross-compiling.
9261	+ modify tack to allow it to run from fallback terminfo data.
9262	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9263	+ improve PutRange() by adjusting call to EmitRange() and corresponding
9264	  return-value to not emit unchanged characters on the end of the
9265	  range.
9266	+ improve a check for changed-attribute by exiting a loop when the
9267	  change is found.
9268	+ improve logic in TransformLine(), eliminating a duplicated comparison
9269	  in the clr_bol logic.
9270
927120030913
9272	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9273	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
9274	  move the label 'nonlocal' just before the second gettimeofday() to
9275	  be able to compute the diff time when 'goto nonlocal' used.
9276	  Rename 'msec' to 'microsec' in the debug-message.
9277	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
9278	  Use _nc_outch() in carriage return/newline movement instead of
9279	  putchar() which goes to stdout.  Move test for xold>0 out of loop.
9280	+ in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c,
9281	  Set the flag SP->_buffered at the end of operations when all has been
9282	  successful (typeMalloc can fail).
9283	+ simplify NC_BUFFERED macro by moving check inside _nc_setbuf().
9284
928520030906
9286	+ modify configure script to avoid using "head -1", which does not
9287	  work if POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set.
9288	+ modify run_tic.in to avoid using wrong shared libraries when
9289	  cross-compiling (Dan Kegel).
9290
929120030830
9292	+ alter configure script help message to make it clearer that
9293	  --with-build-cc does not specify a cross-compiler (suggested by Dan
9294	  Kegel <dank@kegel.com>).
9295	+ modify configure script to accommodate libtool 1.5, as well as add an
9296	  parameter to the "--with-libtool" option which can specify the
9297	  pathname of libtool (report by Chris Zubrzycki).  We note that
9298	  libtool 1.5 has more than one bug in its C++ support, so it is not
9299	  able to install libncurses++, for instance, if $DESTDIR or the option
9300	  --with-install-prefix is used.
9301
930220030823
9303	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9304	+ move assignments to SP->_cursrow, SP->_curscol into online_mvcur().
9305	+ make baudrate computation in delay_output() consistent with the
9306	  assumption in _nc_mvcur_init(), i.e., a byte is 9 bits.
9307
930820030816
9309	+ modify logic in waddch_literal() to take into account zh_TW.Big5
9310	  whose multibyte sequences may contain "printable" characters, e.g.,
9311	  a "g" in the sequence "\247g" (Debian #204889, cf: 20030621).
9312	+ improve storage used by _nc_safe_strcpy() by ensuring that the size
9313	  is reset based on the initialization call, in case it were called
9314	  after other strcpy/strcat calls (report by Philippe Blain).
9315	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9316	+ remove an unused ifdef for REAL_ATTR & WANT_CHAR
9317	+ correct a place where _cup_cost was used rather than _cuu_cost
9318
931920030809
9320	+ fix a small memory leak in _nc_free_termtype().
9321	+ close trace-file if trace() is called with a zero parameter.
9322	+ free memory allocated for soft-key strings, in delscreen().
9323	+ fix an allocation size in safe_sprintf.c for the "*" format code.
9324	+ correct safe_sprintf.c to not return a null pointer if the format
9325	  happens to be an empty string.  This applies to the "configure
9326	  --enable-safe-sprintf" option (Redhat #101486).
9327
932820030802
9329	+ modify casts used for ABSENT_BOOLEAN and CANCELLED_BOOLEAN (report by
9330	  Daniel Jacobowitz).
9331	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9332	+ change padding for change_scroll_region to not be proportional to
9333	  the size of the scroll-region.
9334	+ correct error-return in _nc_safe_strcat().
9335
933620030726
9337	+ correct limit-checks in _nc_scroll_window() (report and test-case by
9338	  Thomas Graf <graf@dms.at> cf: 20011020).
9339	+ re-order configure checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE to avoid conflict with
9340	  _GNU_SOURCE check.
9341
934220030719
9343	+ use clr_eol in preference to blanks for bce terminals, so select and
9344	  paste will have fewer trailing blanks, e.g., when using xterm
9345	  (request by Vincent Lefevre).
9346	+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
9347	+ add configure --with-abi-version option (discussion with Charles
9348	  Wilson).
9349	> cygwin changes from Charles Wilson:
9350	  + aclocal.m4: on cygwin, use autodetected prefix for import
9351	    and static lib, but use "cyg" for DLL.
9352	  + include/ncurses_dll.h: correct the comments to reflect current
9353	    status of cygwin/mingw port.  Fix compiler warning.
9354	  + misc/run_tic.in: ensure that tic.exe can find the uninstalled
9355	    DLL, by adding the lib-directory to the PATH variable.
9356	  + misc/terminfo.src (nxterm|xterm-color): make xterm-color
9357	    primary instead of nxterm, to match XFree86's xterm.terminfo
9358	    usage and to prevent circular links.
9359	    (rxvt): add additional codes from rxvt.org.
9360	    (rxvt-color): new alias
9361	    (rxvt-xpm): new alias
9362	    (rxvt-cygwin): like rxvt, but with special acsc codes.
9363	    (rxvt-cygwin-native): ditto.  rxvt may be run under XWindows, or
9364	    with a "native" MSWin GUI.	Each takes different acsc codes,
9365	    which are both different from the "normal" rxvt's acsc.
9366	    (cygwin): cygwin-in-cmd.exe window.	 Lots of fixes.
9367	    (cygwinDBG): ditto.
9368	  + mk-1st.awk: use "cyg" for the DLL prefix, but "lib" for import
9369	    and static libs.
9370
937120030712
9372	+ update config.guess, config.sub
9373	+ add triples for configuring shared libraries with the Debian
9374	  GNU/FreeBSD packages (patch by Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>).
9375
937620030705
9377	+ modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS so it only applies to gcc, not g++.  Some
9378	  platforms have installed g++ along with the native C compiler, which
9379	  would not accept gcc warning options.
9380	+ add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 when configuring with --enable-widec, to
9381	  get mbstate_t declaration on HPUX 11.11 (report by David Ellement).
9382	+ add _nc_pathlast() to get rid of casts in _nc_basename() calls.
9383	+ correct a sign-extension in wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() from
9384	  20030628 (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
9385	+ work around omission of btowc() and wctob() from wide-character
9386	  support (sic) in NetBSD 1.6 using mbtowc() and wctomb() (report by
9387	  Gabor Z Papp).
9388	+ add portability note to curs_get_wstr.3x (Debian #199957).
9389
939020030628
9391	+ rewrite wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to call waddch() and wechochar()
9392	  respectively, to avoid calling waddch_noecho() with wide-character
9393	  data, since that function assumes its input is 8-bit data.
9394	  Similarly, modify waddnwstr() to call wadd_wch().
9395	+ remove logic from waddnstr() which transformed multibyte character
9396	  strings into wide-characters.  Rewrite of waddch_literal() from
9397	  20030621 assumes its input is raw multibyte data rather than wide
9398	  characters (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
9399
940020030621
9401	+ write getyx() and related 2-return macros in terms of getcury(),
9402	  getcurx(), etc.
9403	+ modify waddch_literal() in case an application passes bytes of a
9404	  multibyte character directly to waddch().  In this case, waddch()
9405	  must reassemble the bytes into a wide-character (report by Tomohiro
9406	  Kubota <kubota@debian.org>).
9407
940820030614
9409	+ modify waddch_literal() in case a multibyte value occupies more than
9410	  two cells.
9411	+ modify PutAttrChar() to compute the number of character cells that
9412	  are used in multibyte values.  This fixes a problem displaying
9413	  double-width characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen
9414	  <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
9415	+ add a null-pointer check for result of keyname() in _tracechar()
9416	+ modify _tracechar() to work around glibc sprintf bug.
9417
941820030607
9419	+ add a call to setlocale() in cursesmain.cc, making demo display
9420	  properly in a UTF-8 locale.
9421	+ add a fallback definition in curses.priv.h for MB_LEN_MAX (prompted
9422	  by discussion with Gabor Z Papp).
9423	+ use macros NCURSES_ACS() and NCURSES_WACS() to hide cast needed to
9424	  appease -Wchar-subscript with g++ 3.3 (Debian #195732).
9425	+ fix a redefinition of $RANLIB in the configure script when libtool
9426	  is used, which broke configure on Mac OS X (report by Chris Zubrzycki
9427	  <beren@mac.com>).
9428	+ simplify ifdef for bool declaration in curses.h.in (suggested by
9429	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
9430	+ remove configure script check to allow -Wconversion for older
9431	  versions of gcc (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young).
9432
943320030531
9434	+ regenerated html manpages.
9435	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in that disabled use of __attribute__()
9436	  for g++, since recent versions implement the cases which ncurses uses
9437	  (Debian #195230).
9438	+ modify _nc_get_token() to handle a case where an entry has no
9439	  description, and capabilities begin on the same line as the entry
9440	  name.
9441	+ fix a typo in ncurses_dll.h reported by gcc 3.3.
9442	+ add an entry for key_defined.3x to man_db.renames.
9443
944420030524
9445	+ modify setcchar() to allow converting control characters to complex
9446	  characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
9447	+ add tkterm entry -TD
9448	+ modify parse_entry.c to allow a terminfo entry with a leading
9449	  2-character name (report by Don Libes).
9450	+ corrected acsc in screen.teraterm, which requires a PC-style mapping.
9451	+ fix trace statements in read_entry.c to use lseek() rather than
9452	  tell().
9453	+ fix signed/unsigned warnings from Sun's compiler (gcc should give
9454	  these warnings, but it is unpredictable).
9455	+ modify configure script to omit -Winline for gcc 3.3, since that
9456	  feature is broken.
9457	+ modify manlinks.sed to add a few functions that were overlooked since
9458	  they return function pointers:  field_init, field_term, form_init,
9459	  form_term, item_init, item_term, menu_init and menu_term.
9460
946120030517
9462	+ prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot
9463	  be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report
9464	  by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.com>).
9465	+ change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted
9466	  by Debian #192860).
9467	+ add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there
9468	  are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the
9469	  current test programs.
9470	+ corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not
9471	  convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it.
9472	+ corrections to lib_get_wstr.c:
9473	  + null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally
9474	    failed.
9475	  + map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into
9476	    key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not
9477	    mentioned in the terminfo.
9478	+ modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line
9479	  drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221).
9480
948120030510
9482	+ make typography for program options in manpages consistent (report
9483	  by Miloslav Trmac <mitr@volny.cz>).
9484	+ correct dependencies in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, so the builds with
9485	  "--srcdir" work (report by Warren L Dodge).
9486	+ correct missing definition of $(CC) in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in
9487	  (reported by Warren L Dodge <warrend@mdhost.cse.tek.com>).
9488	+ fix typos and whitespace in manpages (patch by Jason McIntyre
9489	  <jmc@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl>).
9490
949120030503
9492	+ fix form_driver() cases for REQ_CLR_EOF, REQ_CLR_EOL, REQ_DEL_CHAR,
9493	  REQ_DEL_PREV and REQ_NEW_LINE, which did not ensure the cursor was at
9494	  the editing position before making modifications.
9495	+ add test/demo_forms and associated test/edit_field.c demos.
9496	+ modify test/configure.in to use test/modules for the list of objects
9497	  to compile rather than using the list of programs.
9498
949920030419
9500	+ modify logic of acsc to use the original character if no mapping is
9501	  defined, noting that Solaris does this.
9502	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to avoid using the acs_map[] array since
9503	  20021231 changes it to no longer contain information from the acsc
9504	  string.
9505	+ modify makefile rules in c++, progs, tack and test to ensure that
9506	  the compiler flags (e.g., $CFLAGS or $CCFLAGS) are used in the link
9507	  command (report by Jose Luis Rico Botella <informatica@serpis.com>).
9508	+ modify soft-key initialization to use A_REVERSE if A_STANDOUT would
9509	  not be shown when colors are used, i.e., if ncv#1 is set in the
9510	  terminfo as is done in "screen".
9511
951220030412
9513	+ add a test for slk_color(), in ncurses.c
9514	+ fix some issues reported by valgrind in the slk_set() and slk_wset()
9515	  code, from recent rewrite.
9516	+ modify ncurses 'E' test to use show previous label via slk_label(),
9517	  as in 'e' test.
9518	+ modify wide-character versions of NewChar(), NewChar2() macros to
9519	  ensure that the whole struct is initialized.
9520
952120030405
9522	+ modify setupterm() to check if the terminfo and terminal-modes have
9523	  already been read.  This ensures that it does not reinvoke
9524	  def_prog_mode() when an application calls more than one function,
9525	  such as tgetent() and initscr() (report by Olaf Buddenhagen).
9526
952720030329
9528	+ add 'E' test to ncurses.c, to exercise slk_wset().
9529	+ correct handling of carriage-return in wgetn_wstr(), used in demo of
9530	  slk_wset().
9531	+ first draft of slk_wset() function.
9532
953320030322
9534	+ improved warnings in tic when suppressing items to fit in termcap's
9535	  1023-byte limit.
9536	+ built a list in test/README showing which externals are being used
9537	  by either programs in the test-directory or via internal library
9538	  calls.
9539	+ adjust include-options in CF_ETIP_DEFINES to avoid missing
9540	  ncurses_dll.h, fixing special definitions that may be needed for
9541	  etip.h (reported by Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>).
9542
954320030315
9544	+ minor fixes for cardfile.c, to make it write the updated fields to
9545	  a file when ^W is given.
9546	+ add/use _nc_trace_bufcat() to eliminate some fixed buffer limits in
9547	  trace code.
9548
954920030308
9550	+ correct a case in _nc_remove_string(), used by define_key(), to avoid
9551	  infinite loop if the given string happens to be a substring of other
9552	  strings which are assigned to keys (report by John McCutchan).
9553	+ add key_defined() function, to tell which keycode a string is bound
9554	  to (discussion with John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org>).
9555	+ correct keybound(), which reported definitions in the wrong table,
9556	  i.e., the list of definitions which are disabled by keyok().
9557	+ modify demo_keydef.c to show the details it changes, and to check
9558	  for errors.
9559
956020030301
9561	+ restructured test/configure script, make it work for libncursesw.
9562	+ add description of link_fieldtype() to manpage (report by
9563	  L Dee Holtsclaw <dee@sunbeltsoft.com>).
9564
956520030222
9566	+ corrected ifdef's relating to configure check for wchar_t, etc.
9567	+ if the output is a socket or other non-tty device, use 1 millisecond
9568	  for the cost in mvcur; previously it was 9 milliseconds because the
9569	  baudrate was not known.
9570	+ in _nc_get_tty_mode(), initialize the TTY buffer on error, since
9571	  glibc copies uninitialized data in that case, as noted by valgrind.
9572	+ modify tput to use the same parameter analysis as tparm() does, to
9573	  provide for user-defined strings, e.g., for xterm title, a
9574	  corresponding capability might be
9575		title=\E]2;%p1%s^G,
9576	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid passing "#" tokens through the C
9577	  preprocessor.  This works around Mac OS X's preprocessor, which
9578	  insists on adding a blank on each side of the token (report/analysis
9579	  by Kevin Murphy <murphy@genome.chop.edu>).
9580
958120030215
9582	+ add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely
9583	  on preprocessor definitions.  Also work around for gcc fixinclude
9584	  bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols
9585	  apparently typedef'd.
9586	+ if database is disabled, do not generate run_tic.sh
9587	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking when termcap is read.
9588
958920030208
9590	+ add checking in tic for incomplete line-drawing character mapping.
9591	+ updated configure script to reflect fix for AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL,
9592	  which is broken in autoconf 2.5x for Mac OS X 10.2.3 (report by
9593	  Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl>).
9594	+ make return value from _nc_printf_string() consistent.  Before,
9595	  depending on whether --enable-safe-sprintf was used, it might not be
9596	  cached for reallocating.
9597
959820030201
9599	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking in lib_tparm.c, hardscroll.c
9600	+ correct a potentially-uninitialized value if _read_termtype() does
9601	  not read as much data as expected (report by Wolfgang Rohdewald
9602	  <wr6@uni.de>).
9603	+ correct several places where the aclocal.m4 macros relied on cache
9604	  variable names which were incompatible (as usual) between autoconf
9605	  2.13 and 2.5x, causing the test for broken-linker to give incorrect
9606	  results (reports by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl> and Thomas Esser
9607	  <te@dbs.uni-hannover.de>).
9608	+ do not try to open gpm mouse driver if standard output is not a tty;
9609	  the gpm library does not make this check (bug report for dialog
9610	  by David Oliveira <davidoliveira@develop.prozone.ws>).
9611
961220030125
9613	+ modified emx.src to correspond more closely to terminfo.src, added
9614	  emx-base to the latter -TD
9615	+ add configure option for FreeBSD sysmouse, --with-sysmouse, and
9616	  implement support for that in lib_mouse.c, lib_getch.c
9617
961820030118
9619	+ revert 20030105 change to can_clear_with(), does not work for the
9620	  case where the update is made on cells which are blanks with
9621	  attributes, e.g., reverse.
9622	+ improve ifdef's to guard against redefinition of wchar_t and wint_t
9623	  in curses.h (report by Urs Jansen).
9624
962520030111
9626	+ improve mvcur() by checking if it is safe to move when video
9627	  attributes are set (msgr), and if not, reset/restore attributes
9628	  within that function rather than doing it separately in the GoTo()
9629	  function in tty_update.c (suggested by Philippe Blain).
9630	+ add a message in run_tic.in to explain more clearly what does not
9631	  work when attempting to create a symbolic link for /usr/lib/terminfo
9632	  on OS/2 and other platforms with no symbolic links (report by John
9633	  Polterak).
9634	+ change several sed scripts to avoid using "\+" since it is not a BRE
9635	  (basic regular expression).  One instance caused terminfo.5 to be
9636	  misformatted on FreeBSD (report by Kazuo Horikawa
9637	  <horikawa@FreeBSD.org> (see FreeBSD docs/46709)).
9638	+ correct misspelled 'wint_t' in curs_get_wch.3x (Michael Elkins).
9639
964020030105
9641	+ improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic
9642	  variables (comments by Mark I Manning IV <mark4th@earthlink.net>).
9643	+ demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to
9644	  use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a
9645	  specialized type for the middle initial/name.
9646	+ fix MKterminfo.sh, another workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature
9647	  of sed 4.0
9648	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9649	+ optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter
9650	  is indeed a "blank".
9651	+ simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear
9652	  sections as small as one line.
9653	+ improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying
9654	  to use it.
9655	+ use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since
9656	  the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines
9657	  affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region.
9658
965920021231
9660	+ rewrite of lib_acs.c conflicts with copying of SCREEN acs_map to/from
9661	  global acs_map[] array; removed the lines that did the copying.
9662
966320021228
9664	+ change some overlooked tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp()
9665	  (report by Philippe Blain).
9666	+ modify lib_getch.c to avoid recursion via wgetnstr() when the input
9667	  is not a tty and consequently mode-changes do not work (report by
9668	  <R.Chamberlin@querix.com>).
9669	+ rewrote lib_acs.c to allow PutAttrChar() to decide how to render
9670	  alternate-characters, i.e., to work with Linux console and UTF-8
9671	  locale.
9672	+ correct line/column reference in adjust_window(), needed to make
9673	  special windows such as curscr track properly when resizing (report
9674	  by Lucas Gonze <lgonze@panix.com>).
9675	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9676	+ correct the value used for blank in ClrBottom() (broken in 20000708).
9677	+ correct an off-by-one in GoTo() parameter in _nc_scrolln().
9678
967920021221
9680	+ change several tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp(), to
9681	  enable padding which may be needed for some terminals (patch by
9682	  Philippe Blain).
9683	+ use '%' as sed substitute delimiter in run_tic script to avoid
9684	  problems with pathname delimiters such as ':' and '@' (report by John
9685	  Polterak).
9686	+ implement a workaround so that line-drawing works with screen's
9687	  crippled UTF-8 support (tested with 3.9.13).  This only works with
9688	  the wide-character support (--enable-widec); the normal library will
9689	  simply suppress line-drawing when running in a UTF-8 locale in screen.
9690
969120021214
9692	+ allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
9693	  overridden from the environment.
9694	+ make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with
9695	  the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki).
9696	+ modify ncurses/modules to allow
9697		configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs
9698	  to build (report by Gary Samuelson).
9699	+ fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by
9700	  Gary Samuelson <gary.samuelson@verizon.com>).
9701	+ correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which
9702	  force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report
9703	  by Sam Varshavchik).
9704	+ small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which
9705	  gnatmake adds to its version-message.
9706	> Maciej W Rozycki <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>:
9707	+ use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross
9708	  compiling.
9709	+ use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
9710	  comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
9711	  traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.
9712	+ change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host"
9713	  when referring to the --with-build-XXX options.
9714
971520021206
9716	+ modify CF_GNAT_VERSION to print gnatmake's version, and to allow for
9717	  possible gnat versions such as 3.2 (report by Chris Lingard
9718	  <chris@stockwith.co.uk>).
9719	+ modify #define's for CKILL and other default control characters in
9720	  tset to use the system's default values if they are defined.
9721	+ correct interchanged defaults for kill and interrupt characters
9722	  in tset, which caused it to report unnecessarily (Debian #171583).
9723	+ repair check for missing C++ compiler, which is broken in autoconf
9724	  2.5x by hardcoding it to g++ (report by Martin Mokrejs).
9725	+ update config.guess, config.sub (2002-11-30)
9726	+ modify configure script to skip --with-shared, etc., when the
9727	  --with-libtool option is given, since they would be ignored anyway.
9728	+ fix to allow "configure --with-libtool --with-termlib" to build.
9729	+ modify configure script to show version number of libtool, to help
9730	  with bug reports.  libtool still gets confused if the installed
9731	  ncurses libraries are old, since it ignores the -L options at some
9732	  point (tested with libtool 1.3.3 and 1.4.3).
9733	+ reorder configure script's updating of $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to
9734	  prevent -I options in the user's environment from introducing
9735	  conflicts with the build -I options (may be related to reports by
9736	  Patrick Ash and George Goffe).
9737	+ rename test/define_key.c to test/demo_defkey.c, test/keyok.c to
9738	  test/demo_keyok.c to allow building these with libtool.
9739
974020021123
9741	+ add example program test/define_key.c for define_key().
9742	+ add example program test/keyok.c for keyok().
9743	+ add example program test/ins_wide.c for wins_wch() and wins_wstr().
9744	+ modify wins_wch() and wins_wstr() to interpret tabs by using the
9745	  winsch() internal function.
9746	+ modify setcchar() to allow for wchar_t input strings that have
9747	  more than one spacing character.
9748
974920021116
9750	+ fix a boundary check in lib_insch.c (patch by Philippe Blain).
9751	+ change type for *printw functions from NCURSES_CONST to const
9752	  (prompted by comment by Pedro Palhoto Matos <plpm@mega.ist.utl.pt>,
9753	  but really from a note on X/Open's website stating that either is
9754	  acceptable, and the latter will be used in a future revision).
9755	+ add xterm-1002, xterm-1003 terminfo entries to demonstrate changes in
9756	  lib_mouse.c (20021026) -TD
9757	+ add screen-bce, screen-s entries from screen 3.9.13 (report by
9758	  Adam Lazur <zal@debian.org>) -TD
9759	+ add mterm terminfo entries -TD
9760
976120021109
9762	+ split-out useful fragments in terminfo for vt100 and vt220 numeric
9763	  keypad, i.e., vt100+keypad, vt100+pfkeys, vt100+fnkeys and
9764	  vt220+keypad.  The last as embedded in various entries had ka3 and
9765	  kb2 interchanged (report/discussion with Leonard den Ottolander
9766	  <leonardjo@hetnet.nl>).
9767	+ add check in tic for keypads consistent with vt100 layout.
9768	+ improve checks in tic for color capabilities
9769
977020021102
9771	+ check for missing/empty/illegal terminfo name in _nc_read_entry()
9772	  (report by Martin Mokrejs, where $TERM was set to an empty string).
9773	+ rewrote lib_insch.c, combining it with lib_insstr.c so both handle
9774	  tab and other control characters consistently (report by Philippe
9775	  Blain).
9776	+ remove an #undef for KEY_EVENT from curses.tail used in the
9777	  experimental NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS feature.  The #undef confuses
9778	  dpkg's build script (Debian #165897).
9779	+ fix MKlib_gen.sh, working around the ironically named POSIXLY_CORRECT
9780	  feature of GNU sed 4.0 (reported by Ervin Nemeth <airwin@inf.bme.hu>).
9781
978220021026
9783	+ implement logic in lib_mouse.c to handle position reports which are
9784	  generated when XFree86 xterm is initialized with private modes 1002
9785	  or 1003.  These are returned to the application as the
9786	  REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION mask, which was not implemented.  Tested both
9787	  with ncurses 'a' menu (prompted by discussion with Larry Riedel
9788	  <Larry@Riedel.org>).
9789	+ modify lib_mouse.c to look for "XM" terminfo string, which allows
9790	  one to override the escape sequence used to enable/disable mouse
9791	  mode.  In particular this works for XFree86 xterm private modes
9792	  1002 and 1003.  If "XM" is missing (note that this is an extended
9793	  name), lib_mouse uses the conventional private mode 1000.
9794	+ correct NOT_LOCAL() macro in lib_mvcur.c to refer to screen_columns
9795	  where it used screen_lines (report by Philippe Blain).
9796	+ correct makefile rules for the case when both --with-libtool and
9797	  --with-gpm are given (report by Mr E_T <troll@logi.net.au>).
9798	+ add note to terminfo manpage regarding the differences between
9799	  setaf/setab and setf/setb capabilities (report by Pavel Roskin).
9800
980120021019
9802	+ remove redundant initialization of TABSIZE in newterm(), since it is
9803	  already done in setupterm() (report by Philippe Blain).
9804	+ add test/inserts.c, to test winnstr() and winsch().
9805	+ replace 'sort' in dist.mk with script that sets locale to POSIX.
9806	+ update URLs in announce.html.in (patch by Frederic L W Meunier).
9807	+ remove glibc add-on files, which are no longer needed (report by
9808	  Frederic L W Meunier).
9809
981020021012 5.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
9811	+ modify ifdef's in etip.h.in to allow the etip.h header to compile
9812	  with gcc 3.2 (patch by Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy@is-vn.bg>).
9813	+ add logic to setupterm() to make it like initscr() and newterm(),
9814	  by checking for $NCURSES_TRACE environment variable and enabling
9815	  the debug trace in that case.
9816	+ modify setupterm() to ensure that it initializes the baudrate, for
9817	  applications such as tput (report by Frank Henigman).
9818	+ modify definition of bits used for command-line and library debug
9819	  traces to avoid overlap, using new definition TRACE_SHIFT to relate
9820	  the two.
9821	+ document tput's interpretation of parameterized strings according to
9822	  whether parameters are given, etc. (discussion with Robert De Bath).
9823
982420021005 pre-release
9825	+ correct winnwstr() to account for non-character cells generated when
9826	  a double-width character is added (report by Michael Bienia
9827	  <michael@vorlon.ping.de>).
9828	+ modify _nc_viswbuf2n() to provide better results using wctomb().
9829	+ correct logic in _nc_varargs() which broke tracing of parameters for
9830	  formats such as "%.*s".
9831	+ correct scale factor in linux-c and linux-c-nc terminfo entries
9832	  (report Floyd Davidson).
9833	+ change tic -A option to -t, add the same option to infocmp for
9834	  consistency.
9835	+ correct "%c" implementation in lib_tparm.c, which did not map a null
9836	  character to a 128 (cf: 980620) (patch by Frank Henigman
9837	  <fjhenigman@mud.cgl.uwaterloo.ca>).
9838
983920020928 pre-release
9840	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for POSIX sort -k option, use that if
9841	  it is found, to accommodate newer utility which dropped the
9842	  compatibility support for +number options (reported by Andrey A
9843	  Chernov).
9844	+ modify linux terminfo entry to use color palette feature from
9845	  linux-c-nc entry (comments by Tomasz Wasiak and Floyd Davidson).
9846	+ restore original color definitions in endwin() if init_color() was
9847	  used, and resume those colors on the next doupdate() or refresh()
9848	  (report by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@komputom.com.pl>).
9849	+ improve debug-traces by modifying MKlib_gen.sh to generate calls
9850	  to returnBool() and returnAttr().
9851	+ add/use _nc_visbufn() and _nc_viswbufn() to limit the debug trace
9852	  of waddnstr() and similar functions to match the parameters as used.
9853	+ add/use _nc_retrace_bool() and _nc_retrace_unsigned().
9854	+ correct type used by _nc_retrace_chtype().
9855	+ add debug traces to some functions in lib_mouse.c
9856	+ modify lib_addch.c to handle non-spacing characters.
9857	+ correct parameter of RemAttr() in lib_bkgd.c, which caused the c++
9858	  demo's boxes to lose the A_ALTCHARSET flag (broken in 20020629).
9859	+ correct width computed in _tracedump(), which did not account for
9860	  the attributes (broken in 20010602).
9861	+ modify test/tracemunch to replace addresses for windows other than
9862	  curscr, newscr and stdscr with window0, window1, etc.
9863
986420020921 pre-release
9865	+ redid fix for edit_man.sed path.
9866	+ workaround for Cygwin bug which makes subprocess writes to stdout
9867	  result in core dump.
9868	+ documented getbegx(), etc.
9869	+ minor fixes to configure script to use '%' consistently as a sed
9870	  delimiter rather than '@'.
9871	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9872	+ add check in lib_overlay.c to ensure that the windows to be merged
9873	  actually overlap, and in copywin(), limit the area to be touched
9874	  to the lines given for the destination window.
9875
987620020914 pre-release
9877	+ modified curses.h so that if the wide-character version is installed
9878	  overwriting /usr/include/curses.h, and if it relied on libutf8.h,
9879	  then applications that use that header for wide-character support
9880	  must define HAVE_LIBUTF8_H.
9881	+ modify putwin(), getwin() and dupwin() to allow them to operate on
9882	  pads (request by Philippe Blain).
9883	+ correct attribute-merging in wborder(), broken in 20020216 (report
9884	  by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@grubasek.komputom.com.pl>).
9885	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9886	+ corrected pop-counts in tparam_internal() to '!' and '~' cases.
9887	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in one place that used sizeof(chtype).
9888	+ remove some unused variables from mvcur test-driver.
9889
989020020907 pre-release
9891	+ change configure script to allow install of widec-character
9892	  (ncursesw) headers to overwrite normal (ncurses) headers, since the
9893	  latter is a compatible subset of the former.
9894	+ fix path of edit_man.sed in configure script, needed to regenerate
9895	  html manpages on Debian.
9896	+ fix mismatched enums in vsscanf.c, which caused warning on Solaris.
9897	+ update README.emx to reflect current patch used for autoconf.
9898	+ change web- and ftp-site to invisible-island.net
9899	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9900	+ change case for 'P' in tparam_internal() to indicate that it pops
9901	  a variable from the stack.
9902	+ correct sense of precision and width in parse_format(), to avoid
9903	  confusion.
9904	+ modify lib_tparm.c, absorb really_get_space() into get_space().
9905	+ modify getwin() and dupwin() to copy the _notimeout, _idlok and
9906	  _idcok window fields.
9907	+ better fix for _nc_set_type(), using typeMalloc().
9908
990920020901 pre-release
9910	+ change minor version to 3, i.e., ncurses 5.3
9911	+ update config.guess, config.sub
9912	+ retest build with each configure option; minor ifdef fixes.
9913	+ make keyname() return a null pointer rather than "UNKNOWN STRING" to
9914	  match XSI.
9915	+ modify handling of wide line-drawing character functions to use the
9916	  normal line-drawing characters when not in UTF-8 locale.
9917	+ add check/fix to comp_parse.c to suppress warning about missing acsc
9918	  string.  This happens in configurations where raw termcap information
9919	  is processed; tic already does this and other checks.
9920	+ modify tic's check for ich/ich1 versus rmir/smir to only warn about
9921	  ich1, to match xterm patch #70 notes.
9922	+ moved information for ripped-off lines into SCREEN struct to allow
9923	  use in resizeterm().
9924	+ add experimental wgetch_events(), ifdef'd with NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
9925	  (adapted from patch by Ilya Zakharevich - see ncurses/README.IZ).
9926	+ amend check in kgetch() from 20020824 to look only for function-keys,
9927	  otherwise escape sequences are not resolved properly.
9928	> patch by Philippe Blain:
9929	+ removed redundant assignment to SP->_checkfd from newterm().
9930	+ check return-value of setupterm() in restartterm().
9931	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in a few places that used sizeof(chtype).
9932	+ prevent dupwin() from duplicating a pad.
9933	+ prevent putwin() from writing a pad.
9934	+ use typeRealloc() or typeMalloc() in preference to direct calls on
9935	  _nc_doalloc().
9936
993720020824
9938	+ add a check in kgetch() for cooked characters in the fifo to avoid
9939	  calling fifo_push() when a KEY_RESIZE is available (report/analysis
9940	  by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>).
9941	+ fix an overlooked case for Redhat #68199 (Philippe Blain).
9942	+ ensure clearerr() is called before using ferror() e.g., in
9943	  lib_screen.c (report by Philippe Blain).
9944
994520020817
9946	+ modify lib_screen.c and lib_newwin.c to maintain the SCREEN-specific
9947	  pointers for curscr/stdscr/newscr when scr_save() and scr_restore()
9948	  modify the global curscr/stdscr/newscr variables.  Fixes Redhat
9949	  #68199.
9950	+ add checks for null pointer in calls to tparm() and tgoto() based on
9951	  FreeBSD bug report.  If ncurses were built with termcap support, and
9952	  the first call to tgoto() were a zero-length string, the result would
9953	  be a null pointer, which was not handled properly.
9954	+ correct a typo in terminfo.head, which gave the octal code for colon
9955	  rather than comma.
9956	+ remove the "tic -u" option from 20020810, since it did not account
9957	  for nested "tc=" clauses, and when that was addressed, was still
9958	  unsatisfactory.
9959
996020020810
9961	+ add tic -A option to suppress capabilities which are commented out
9962	  when translating to termcap.
9963	+ add tic -u option to provide older behavior of "tc=" clauses.
9964	+ modified tic to expand all but the final "tc=" clause in a termcap
9965	  entry, to accommodate termcap libraries which do not handle multiple
9966	  tc clauses.
9967	+ correct typo in curs_inopts.3x regarding CS8/CS7 usage (report by
9968	  Philippe Blain).
9969	+ remove a couple of redundant uses of A_ATTRIBUTES in expressions
9970	  using AttrOf(), which already incorporates that mask (report by
9971	  Philippe Blain).
9972	+ document TABSIZE variable.
9973	+ add NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS environment variable, to allow users to
9974	  override compiled-in default black-on-white assumption used in
9975	  assume_default_colors().
9976	+ correct an off-by-one comparison against max_colors in COLORFGBG
9977	  logic.
9978	+ correct a use of uninitialized memory found by valgrind (reported by
9979	  Olaf Buddenhagen <olafBuddenhagen@web.de>).
9980	+ modified wresize() to ensure that a failed realloc will not corrupt
9981	  the window structure, and to make subwindows fit within the resized
9982	  window (completes Debian #87678, Debian #101699)
9983
998420020803
9985	+ fix an off-by-one in lib_pad.c check for limits of pad (patch by
9986	  Philippe Blain).
9987	+ revise logic for BeOS in lib_twait.c altered in 20011013 to restore
9988	  logic used by lib_getch.c's support for GPM or EMX mouse (report by
9989	  Philippe Blain)
9990	+ remove NCURSES_CONST from several prototypes in curses.wide, to make
9991	  the --enable-const --enable-widec configure options to work together
9992	  (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@yahoo.com>).
9993
999420020727
9995	+ finish no-leak checking in cardfile.c, using this for testing changes
9996	  to resizeterm().
9997	+ simplify _nc_freeall() using delscreen().
9998
999920020720
10000	+ check error-return from _nc_set_tty_mode() in _nc_initscr() and
10001	  reset_prog_mode() (report/patch by Philippe Blain).
10002	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52, to address
10003	  problem with identifying C++ bool type.
10004	+ correct/improve logic to produce an exit status for errors in tput,
10005	  which did not exit with an error when told to put a string not in the
10006	  current terminfo entry (report by David Gomez <david@pleyades.net>).
10007	+ modify configure script AC_OUTPUT() call to work around defect in
10008	  autoconf 2.52 which adds an ifdef'd include to the generated
10009	  configure definitions.
10010	+ remove fstat() check from scr_init(), which also fixes a missing
10011	  include for <sys/stat.h> from 20020713 (reported by David Ellement,
10012	  fix suggested by Philippe Blain).
10013	+ update curs_scanw.3x manpage to note that XSI curses differs from
10014	  SVr4 curses: return-values are incompatible.
10015	+ correct several prototypes in manpages which used const
10016	  inconsistently with the curses.h file, and removed spurious const's
10017	  in a few places from curses.h, e.g., for wbkgd() (report by Glenn
10018	  Maynard <glenn@zewt.org>).
10019	+ change internal type used by tparm() to long, to work with LP64 model.
10020	+ modify nc_alloc.h to allow building with g++, for testing.
10021
1002220020713
10023	+ add resize-handling to cardfile.c test program.
10024	+ altered resizeterm() to avoid having it fail when a child window
10025	  cannot be resized because it would be larger than its parent.  (More
10026	  work must be done on this, but it works well enough to integrate).
10027	+ improve a limit-check in lib_refresh.c
10028	+ remove check in lib_screen.c relating dumptime to file's modification
10029	  times, since that would not necessarily work for remotely mounted
10030	  filesystems.
10031	+ modify lrtest to simplify debugging changes to resizeterm, e.g.,
10032	  t/T commands to enable/disable tracing.
10033	+ updated status of multibyte support in TO-DO.
10034	+ update contact info in source-files (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10035
1003620020706
10037	+ add Caps.hpux11, as an example.
10038	+ modify version_filter(), used to implement -R option for tic and
10039	  infocmp, to use computed array offsets based on the Caps.* file which
10040	  is actually configured, rather than constants which correspond to
10041	  the Caps file.
10042	+ reorganized lib_raw.c to avoid updating SP and cur_term state if the
10043	  functions fail (reported by Philippe Blain).
10044	+ add -Wundef to gcc warnings, adjust a few ifdef's to accommodate gcc.
10045
1004620020629
10047	+ correct parameters to setcchar() in ncurses.c (cf: 20020406).
10048	+ set locale in most test programs (view.c and ncurses.c were the
10049	  only ones).
10050	+ add configure option --with-build-cppflags (report by Maksim A
10051	  Nikulin <M.A.Nikulin@inp.nsk.su>).
10052	+ correct a typo in wide-character logic for lib_bkgnd.c (Philippe
10053	  Blain).
10054	+ modify lib_wacs.c to not cancel the acsc, smacs, rmacs strings when
10055	  in UTF-8 locale.  Wide-character functions use Unicode values, while
10056	  narrow-character functions use the terminfo data.
10057	+ fix a couple of places in Ada95/samples which did not compile with
10058	  gnat 3.14
10059	+ modify mkinstalldirs so the DOS-pathname case is locale-independent.
10060	+ fix locale problem in MKlib_gen.sh by forcing related variables to
10061	  POSIX (C), using same approach as autoconf (set variables only if
10062	  they were set before).  Update MKterminfo.sh and MKtermsort.sh to
10063	  match.
10064
1006520020622
10066	+ add charset to generated html.
10067	+ add mvterm entry, adapted from a FreeBSD bug-report by Daniel Rudy
10068	  <dcrudy@pacbell.net> -TD
10069	+ add rxvt-16color, ibm+16color entries -TD
10070	+ modify check in --disable-overwrite option so that it is used by
10071	  default unless the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr, in attempt to
10072	  work around packagers, e.g., for Sun's freeware, who do not read the
10073	  INSTALL notes.
10074
1007520020615
10076	+ modify wgetch() to allow returning ungetch'd KEY_RESIZE as a function
10077	  key code in get_wch().
10078	+ extended resize-handling in test/ncurses 'a' menu to the entire
10079	  stack of windows created with 'w' commands.
10080	+ improve $COLORFGBG feature by interpreting an out-of-range color
10081	  value as an SGR 39 or 49, for foreground/background respectively.
10082	+ correct a typo in configure --enable-colorfgbg option, and move it
10083	  to the experimental section (cf: 20011208).
10084
1008520020601
10086	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to remove function-key definitions that do
10087	  not fit into the 1023-byte limit for generated termcaps.  This makes
10088	  hds200 fit.
10089	+ more improvements to tic's warnings, including logic to ignore
10090	  differences between delay values in sgr strings.
10091	+ move definition of KEY_RESIZE into MKkeydefs.sh script, to
10092	  accommodate Caps.osf1r5 which introduced a conflicting definition.
10093
1009420020525
10095	+ add simple resize-handling in test/ncurses.c 'a' menu.
10096	+ fixes in keyname() and _tracechar() to handle negative values.
10097	+ make tic's warnings about mismatches in sgr strings easier to follow.
10098	+ correct tic checks for number of parameters in smgbp and smglp.
10099	+ improve scoansi terminfo entry, and add scoansi-new entry -TD
10100	+ add pcvt25-color terminfo entry -TD
10101	+ add kf13-kf48 strings to cons25w terminfo entry (reported by Stephen
10102	  Hurd <deuce@lordlegacy.org> in newsgroup lucky.freebsd.bugs) -TD
10103	+ add entrypoint _nc_trace_ttymode(), use this to distinguish the
10104	  Ottyb and Nttyb members of terminal (aka cur_term), for tracing.
10105
1010620020523
10107	+ correct and simplify logic for lib_pad.c change in 20020518 (reported
10108	  by Mike Castle).
10109
1011020020518
10111	+ fix lib_pad.c for case of drawing a double-width character which
10112	  falls off the left margin of the pad (patch by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij
10113	  <lerdsuwa@users.sourceforge.net>)
10114	+ modify configure script to work around broken gcc 3.1 "--version"
10115	  option, which adds unnecessary trash to the requested information.
10116	+ adjust ifdef's in case SIGWINCH is not defined, e.g., with DJGPP
10117	  (reported by Ben Decker <deckerben@freenet.de>).
10118
1011920020511
10120	+ implement vid_puts(), vid_attr(), term_attrs() based on the narrow-
10121	  character versions as well.
10122	+ implement erasewchar(), killwchar() based on erasechar() and
10123	  killchar().
10124	+ modify erasechar() and killchar() to return ERR if the value was
10125	  VDISABLE.
10126	+ correct a bug in wresize() in handling subwindows (based on patch by
10127	  Roger Gammans <rgammans@computer-surgery.co.uk>, report by Scott Beck
10128	  <scott@gossamer-threads.com>).
10129	+ improve test/tclock.c by making the second-hand update more often
10130	  if gettimeofday() is available.
10131
1013220020429
10133	+ workaround for Solaris sed with MKlib_gen.sh (reported by Andy
10134	  Tsouladze <andyt@mypoints.com>).
10135
1013620020427
10137	+ correct return-value from getcchar(), making it consistent with
10138	  Solaris and Tru64.
10139	+ reorder loops that generate makefile rules for different models vs
10140	  subsets so configure --with-termlib works again.  This was broken by
10141	  logic added to avoid duplicate rules in changes to accommodate cygwin
10142	  dll's (reported by George.R.Goffe@seagate.com).
10143	+ update config.guess, config.sub
10144
1014520020421
10146	+ modify ifdef's in write_entry.c to allow use of symbolic links on
10147	  platforms with no hard links, e.g., BeOS.
10148	+ modify a few includes to allow compile with BeOS, which has stdbool.h
10149	  with a conflicting definition for 'bool' versus its OS.h definition.
10150	+ amend MKlib_gen.sh to work with gawk, which defines 'func' as an
10151	  alias for 'function'.
10152
1015320020420
10154	+ correct form of prototype for ripoffline().
10155	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to test that all functions marked as implemented
10156	  can be linked.
10157
1015820020413
10159	+ add manpages: curs_get_wstr.3x, curs_in_wchstr.3x
10160	+ implement wgetn_wstr().
10161	+ implement win_wchnstr().
10162	+ remove redefinition of unget_wch() in lib_gen.c (reported by
10163	  Jungshik Shin <jshin@jtan.com>).
10164
1016520020406
10166	+ modified several of the test programs to allow them to compile with
10167	  vendor curses implementations, e.g., Solaris, AIX -TD
10168
1016920020323
10170	+ modified test/configure to allow configuring against ncursesw.
10171	+ change WACS_xxx definition to use address, to work like Tru64 curses.
10172
1017320020317
10174	+ add 'e' and 'm' toggles to 'a', 'A' tests in ncurses.c to demonstrate
10175	  effect of echo/noecho and meta modes.
10176	+ add 'A' test to ncurses.c to demonstrate wget_wch() and related
10177	  functions.
10178	+ add manpage: curs_get_wch.3x
10179	+ implement unget_wch().
10180	+ implement wget_wch().
10181
1018220020310
10183	+ regenerated html manpages.
10184	+ add manpages: curs_in_wch.3x, curs_ins_wch.3x, curs_ins_wstr.3x
10185	+ implement wins_wch().
10186	+ implement win_wch().
10187	+ implement wins_nwstr(), wins_wstr().
10188
1018920020309
10190	+ add manpages: curs_addwstr.3x, curs_winwstr.3x
10191	+ implement winnwstr(), winwstr().
10192
1019320020223
10194	+ add manpages: curs_add_wchstr.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x
10195	+ document wunctrl, key_name.
10196	+ implement key_name().
10197	+ remove const's in lib_box.c incorrectly leftover after splitting off
10198	  lib_box_set.c
10199	+ update llib-lncurses, llib-ncursesw, fix configure script related to
10200	  these.
10201
1020220020218
10203	+ remove quotes on "SYNOPSIS" in man/curs_box_set.3x, which resulted
10204	  in spurious symlinks on install.
10205
1020620020216
10207	+ implement whline_set(), wvline_set(), add manpage curs_border_set.
10208	+ add subtest 'b' to 'F' and 'f' in ncurses.c to demonstrate use of
10209	  box() and box_set() functions.
10210	+ add subtest 'u' to 'F' in ncurses.c, to demonstrate use of addstr()
10211	  given UTF-8 string equivalents of WACS_xxx symbols.
10212	+ minor fixes to several manpages based on groff -ww output.
10213	+ add descriptions of external variables of termcap interface to
10214	  the manpage (report by Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au>).
10215	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
10216	+ correct configure option --with-bool, which was executed as
10217	  --with-ospeed.
10218	+ add quotes for parameters of --with-bool and --with-ospeed configure
10219	  options.
10220	> patch by Sven Verdoolaege (report by Gerhard Haering
10221	  <haering_linux@gmx.de>):
10222	+ correct typos in definitions of several wide-character macros:
10223	  waddwstr, wgetbkgrnd, mvaddwstr, mvwadd_wchnstr, mvwadd_wchnstr,
10224	  mvwaddwstr.
10225	+ pass $(CPPFLAGS) to MKlib_gen.sh, thereby fixing a missing definition
10226	  of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, e.g., on Solaris
10227
1022820020209
10229	+ implement wide-acs characters for UTF-8 locales.  When in UTF-8
10230	  locale, ignore narrow version of acs.  Add 'F' test to test/ncurses.c
10231	  to demonstrate.
10232	+ correct prototype in keybound manpage (noted from a Debian mailing
10233	  list item).
10234
1023520020202
10236	+ add several cases to the wscanw() example in testcurs.c, showing the
10237	  format.
10238	+ implement a simple vsscanf() fallback function which uses the %n
10239	  conversion to help parse the input data (prompted by discussion with
10240	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
10241	+ modify mk-1st.awk and test/Makefile.in to add $(LDFLAGS) when making
10242	  shared libraries, and to use $(CFLAGS) when linking test programs
10243	  (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
10244	+ add a call to _nc_keypad() in keypad() to accommodate applications
10245	  such as nvi, which use curses for output but not for input (fixes
10246	  Debian #131263, cf: 20011215).
10247	+ add entrypoints to resizeterm.c which provide better control over the
10248	  process:  is_term_resized() and resize_term().  The latter restores
10249	  the original design of resizeterm() before KEY_RESIZE was added in
10250	  970906.  Do this to accommodate 20010922 changes to view.c, but allow
10251	  for programs with their own sigwinch handler, such as lynx (reported
10252	  by Russell Ruby <russ@math.orst.edu>).
10253
1025420020127
10255	+ fix a typo in change to mk-1st.awk, which broke the shared-library
10256	  makefile rules (reported by Martin Mokrejs).
10257
1025820020126
10259	+ update config.guess, config.sub
10260	+ finish changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
10261	+ fix a typo in mvwchat() macro (reported by Cy <yam@homerow.net).
10262
1026320020119
10264	+ add case in lib_baudrate.c for B921600 (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
10265	+ correct missing sed-editing stage in manpage installs which is used
10266	  to rename manpages, broken in 20010324 fix for Debian #89939 (Debian
10267	  #78866).
10268	+ remove -L$(libdir) from linker flags, probably not needed any more
10269	  since HPUX is handled properly (reported by Niibe Yutaka
10270	  <gniibe@m17n.org>).
10271	+ add configure check for mbstate_t, needed for wide-character
10272	  configuration.  On some platforms we must include <wchar.h> to
10273	  define this (reported by Daniel Jacobowitz).
10274	+ incorporate some of the changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
10275
1027620020112a
10277	+ workaround for awk did not work with mawk, adjusted shell script.
10278
1027920020112
10280	+ add Caps.osf1r5, as an example.
10281	+ modify behavior of can_clear_with() so that if an application is
10282	  running in a non-bce terminals with default colors enabled, it
10283	  returns true, allowing the user to select/paste text without picking
10284	  up extraneous trailing blanks (adapted from patch by Daniel
10285	  Jacobowitz <dmj+@andrew.cmu.edu>).
10286	+ modify generated curses.h to ifdef-out prototypes for extensions if
10287	  they are disabled, and to define curses_version() as a string in that
10288	  case.  This is needed to make the programs such as tic build in that
10289	  configuration.
10290	+ modified generated headers.sh to remove a gzip'd version of the
10291	  target file if it exists, in case non-gzip'd manpages are installed
10292	  into a directory where gzip'd ones exist.  In that case, the latter
10293	  would be found.
10294	+ corrected a redundant initialization of signal handlers from 20010922
10295	  changes.
10296	+ clarified bug-reporting address in terminfo.src (report by John H
10297	  DuBois III <spcecdt@armory.com>).
10298	> several fixes from Robert Joop:
10299	+ do not use "-v" option of awk in MKkey_defs.sh because it does not
10300	  work with SunOS nawk.
10301	+ modify definitions for libutf8 in curses.h to avoid redefinition
10302	  warnings for mblen
10303	+ quoted references to compiler in shell command in misc/Makefile, in
10304	  case it uses multiple tokens.
10305
1030620011229
10307	+ restore special case from 20010922 changes to omit SA_RESTART when
10308	  setting up SIGWINCH handler, which is needed to allow wgetch() to be
10309	  interrupted by that signal.
10310	+ updated configure macro CF_WITH_PATHLIST, to omit some double quotes
10311	  not needed with autoconf 2.52
10312	+ revert configure script to autoconf 2.13 patched with
10313		autoconf-2.13-19990117.patch.gz (or later)
10314	  from
10315		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
10316	  because autoconf 2.52 macro AC_PROG_AWK does not work on HPUX 11.0
10317	  (report by David Ellement <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).  This also fixes a
10318	  different problem configuring with Mac OS X (reported by Marc Smith
10319	  <marc.a.smith@home.com>).
10320
1032120011222
10322	+ modify include/edit_cfg.h to eliminate BROKEN_LINKER symbol from
10323	  term.h
10324	+ move prototype for _nc_vsscanf() into curses.h.in to omit
10325	  HAVE_VSSCANF symbol from curses.h, which was dependent upon the
10326	  ncurses_cfg.h file which is not installed.
10327	+ use ACS_LEN rather than SIZEOF(acs_map) in trace code of lib_acs.c,
10328	  to work with broken linker configuration, e.g., cygwin (report by
10329	  Robert Joop <rj@rainbow.in-berlin.de>).
10330	+ make napms() call _nc_timed_wait() rather than poll() or select(),
10331	  to work around broken implementations of these on cygwin.
10332
1033320011218
10334	+ drop configure macro CF_WIDEC_SHIFT, since that was rendered obsolete
10335	  by Sven Verdoolaege's rewrite of wide-character support.  This makes
10336	  libncursesw incompatible again, but makes the header files almost the
10337	  same as in the narrow-character configuration.
10338	+ simplify definitions that combine wide/narrow versions of bkgd, etc.,
10339	  to eliminate differences between the wide/narrow versions of curses.h
10340	+ correct typo in configure macro CF_FUNC_VSSCANF
10341	+ correct location of call to _nc_keypad() from 20011215 changes which
10342	  prevented keypad() from being disabled (reported by Lars Hecking).
10343
1034420011215
10345	+ rewrote ncurses 'a' test to exercise wgetch() and keypad() functions
10346	  better, e.g., by adding a 'w' command to create new windows which
10347	  may have different keypad() settings.
10348	+ corrected logic of keypad() by adding internal screen state to track
10349	  whether the terminal's keypad-mode has been set.  Use this in
10350	  wgetch() to update the keypad-mode according to whether the
10351	  associated window's keypad-mode has been set with keypad().  This
10352	  corrects a related problem restoring terminal state after handling
10353	  SIGTSTP (reported by Mike Castle).
10354	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52
10355		autoconf-2.52-patch.gz
10356	  at
10357		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
10358	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
10359		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
10360	+ minor changes to quoting in configure script to allow it to work
10361	  with autoconf 2.52
10362
1036320011208
10364	+ modify final checks in lib_setup.c for line and col values, making
10365	  them independent.
10366	+ modify acs_map[] if configure --broken-linker is specified, to make
10367	  it use a function rather than an array (prompted by an incorrect
10368	  implementation in cygwin package).
10369	+ correct spelling of configure option --enable-colorfgbg, which
10370	  happened to work if --with-develop was set (noted in cygwin package
10371	  for ncurses).
10372	+ modify ifdef for genericerror() to compile with SUNWspro Sun WorkShop
10373	  6 update 1 C++ 5.2 (patch by Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>).
10374	+ add configure checks to see if ncurses' fallback vsscanf() will
10375	  compile either of the special cases for FILE structs, and if not,
10376	  force it to the case which simply returns an error (report by
10377	  Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu> indicates that Solaris 8 with
10378	  64-bits does not allow access to FILE's fields).
10379	+ modify ifdef's for c++/cursesw.cc to use the fallback vsscanf() in
10380	  the ncurses library if no better substitute for this can be found
10381	  in the C++ runtime.
10382	+ modify the build to name dynamic libraries according to the
10383	  convention used on OS X and Darwin.  Rather than something like
10384	  libncurses.dylib.5.2, Darwin would name it libncurses.  5.dylib.
10385	  There are a few additional minor fixes, such as setting the library
10386	  version and compatibility version numbers (patch by Jason Evans
10387	  <jevans@apple.com>).
10388	+ use 'sh' to run mkinstalldirs, to work around problems with buggy
10389	  versions of 'make' on OS/2 (report by John Polterak <jp@eyup.org>).
10390	+ correct typo in manpage description of curs_set() (Debian #121548).
10391	+ replace the configure script existence-check for mkstemp() by one
10392	  that checks if the function works, needed for older glibc and
10393	  AmigaOS.
10394
1039520011201
10396	+ modify script that generates fallbacks.c to compile a temporary
10397	  copy of the terminfo source in case the host does not contain all of
10398	  the entries requested for fallbacks (request by Greg Roelofs).
10399	+ modify configure script to accommodate systems such as Mac OS X whose
10400	  <stdbool.h> header defines a 'bool' type inconsistent with ncurses,
10401	  which normally makes 'bool' consistent with C++.  Include <stdbool.h>
10402	  from curses.h to force consistent usage, define a new type
10403	  NCURSES_BOOL and related that to the exported 'bool' as either a
10404	  typedef or definition, according to whether <stdbool.h> is present
10405	  (based on a bug report for tin 1.5.9 by Aaron Adams <adamsa@mac.com>).
10406
1040720011124
10408	+ added/updated terminfo entries for M$ telnet and KDE konsole -TD
10409
1041020011117
10411	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
10412	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
10413	+ add putty terminfo entry -TD
10414	+ if configuring for wide-curses, define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, since
10415	  this may not otherwise be defined to make test/view.c compile.
10416
1041720011110
10418	+ review/correct several missing/generated items in curses.wide, sorted
10419	  the lists to make subsequent diff's easier to track.
10420
1042120011103
10422	+ add manual pages for add_wch(), echo_wchar(), getcchar(),
10423	  mvadd_wch(), mvwadd_wch(), setcchar(), wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar().
10424	+ implement wecho_wchar()
10425	+ modify _tracedump() to handle wide-characters by mapping them to '?'
10426	  and control-characters to '.', to make the trace file readable.  Also
10427	  dynamically allocate the buffer used by _tracedump() for formatting
10428	  the results.
10429	+ modify T_CALLED/T_RETURN macros to ease balancing call/return lines
10430	  in a trace by using curly braces.
10431	+ implement _nc_viscbuf(), for tracing cchar_t arrays.
10432	+ correct trace-calls in setcchar() and getcchar() functions, which
10433	  traced the return values but not the entry to each function.
10434	+ correct usage message in test/view.c, which still mentioned -u flag.
10435
1043620011027
10437	+ modify configure script to allow building with termcap only, or with
10438	  fallbacks only.  In this case, we do not build tic and toe.
10439	+ add configure --with-termpath option, to override default TERMPATH
10440	  value of /etc/termcap:/usr/share/misc/termcap.
10441	+ cosmetic change to tack: make menu descriptions agree with menu
10442	  titles.
10443
1044420011020
10445	+ rewrote limit-checks in wscrl() and associated _nc_scroll_window(),
10446	  to ensure that if the parameter of wscrl() is larger than the size of
10447	  the scrolling region, then the scrolling region will be cleared
10448	  (report by Ben Kohlen <bckohlen@yahoo.com>).
10449	+ add trace/varargs.c, using this to trace parameters in lib_printw.c
10450	+ implement _tracecchar_t2() and _tracecchar_t().
10451	+ split-out trace/visbuf.c
10452	+ correct typo in lib_printw.c changes from 20010922 (report by Mike
10453	  Castle).
10454
1045520011013
10456	+ modify run_tic.sh to check if the build is a cross-compile.  In that
10457	  case, do not use the build's tic to install the terminfo database
10458	  (report by Rafael Rodriguez Velilla <rrv@tid.es>).
10459	+ modify mouse click resolution so that mouseinterval(-1) will disable
10460	  it, e.g., to handle touchscreens via a slow connection (request by
10461	  Byron Stanoszek <gandalf@winds.org>).
10462	+ correct mouseinterval() default value shown in curs_mouse.3x
10463	+ remove conflicting definition of mouse_trafo() (reported by Lars
10464	  Hecking, using gcc 2.95.3).
10465
1046620011001
10467	+ simpler fix for signal_name(), to replace the one overlooked in
10468	  20010929 (reported by Larry Virden).
10469
1047020010929
10471	+ add -i option to view.c, to test ncurses' check for non-default
10472	  signal handler for SIGINT, etc.
10473	+ add cases for shared-libraries on Darwin/OS X (patch by Rob Braun
10474	  <bbraun@synack.net>).
10475	+ modify tset to restore original I/O modes if an error is encountered.
10476	  Also modify to use buffered stderr consistently rather than mixing
10477	  with write().
10478	+ change signal_name() function to use if-then-else rather than case
10479	  statement, since signal-values aren't really integers (reported by
10480	  Larry Virden).
10481	+ add limit checks in wredrawln(), fixing a problem where lynx was
10482	  repainting a pad which was much larger than the screen.
10483
1048420010922
10485	+ fix:  PutRange() was counting the second part of a wide character as
10486	  part of a run, resulting in a cursor position that was one too far
10487	  (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
10488	+ modify resizeterm() to not queue a KEY_RESIZE if there was no
10489	  SIGWINCH, thereby separating the two styles of SIGWINCH handling
10490	  in test/view.c
10491	+ simplified lib_tstp.c, modify it to use SA_RESTART flag for SIGWINCH.
10492	+ eliminate several static buffers in the terminfo compiler, using
10493	  allocated buffers.
10494	+ modify MKkeyname.awk so that keyname() does not store its result into
10495	  a static buffer that is overwritten by the next call.
10496	+ reorganize the output of infocmp -E and -e options to compile cleanly
10497	  with gcc -Wwrite-strings warnings.
10498	+ remove redefinition of chgat/wchgat/mvwchgat from curses.wide
10499
1050020010915
10501	+ add label to test/view.c, showing the name of the last key or signal
10502	  that made the screen repaint, to make it clearer when a sigwinch
10503	  does this.
10504	+ use ExitProgram() consistently in the test-programs to make it
10505	  simpler to test leaks with dmalloc, etc.
10506	+ move hashtab static data out of hashmap.c into SCREEN struct.
10507	+ make NO_LEAK code compile with revised WINDOWLIST structs.
10508
1050920010908
10510	+ modify tgetent() to check if exit_attribute_mode resets the alternate
10511	  character set, and if so, attempt to adjust the copy of the termcap
10512	  "me" string which it will return to eliminate that part.  In
10513	  particular, 'screen' would lose track of line-drawing characters
10514	  (report by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>, analysis by
10515	  Michael Schroeder).
10516
1051720010901
10518	+ specify DOCTYPE in html manpages.
10519	+ add missing macros for several "generated" functions:  attr_get(),
10520	  attr_off(), attr_on(), attr_set(), chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat() and
10521	  mouse_trafo().
10522	+ modify view.c to agree with non-experimental status of ncurses'
10523	  sigwinch handler:
10524	  + change the sense of the -r option, making it default to ncurses'
10525	    sigwinch handler.
10526	  + add a note explaining what functions are unsafe in a signal
10527	    handler.
10528	  + add a -c option, to set color display, for testing.
10529	+ unset $data variable in MKterminfo.sh script, to address potential
10530	  infinite loop if shell malfunction (report by Samuel Mikes
10531	  <smikes@cubane.com>, for bash 2.05.0 on a Linux 2.0.36 system).
10532	+ change kbs in mach terminfo entries to ^?  (Marcus Brinkmann
10533	  <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>).
10534	+ correct logic for COLORFGBG environment variable: if rxvt is compiled
10535	  with xpm support, the variable has three fields, making it slightly
10536	  incompatible with itself.  In either case, the background color is
10537	  the last field.
10538
1053920010825
10540	+ move calls to def_shell_mode() and def_prog_mode() before loop with
10541	  callbacks in lib_set_term.c, since the c++ demo otherwise initialized
10542	  the tty modes before saving them (patch by John David Anglin
10543	  <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>).
10544	+ duplicate logic used to initialize trace in newterm(), in initscr()
10545	  to avoid confusing trace of initscr().
10546	+ simplify allocation of WINDOW and WINDOWLIST structs by making the
10547	  first a part of the second rather than storing a pointer.  This saves
10548	  a call to malloc for each window (discussion with Philippe Blain).
10549	+ remove unused variable 'used_ncv' from lib_vidattr.c (Philippe
10550	  Blain).
10551	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to accommodate archive programs that are
10552	  different for C++ than for C, and add cases for vendor's C++
10553	  compilers on Solaris and IRIX (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
10554	+ correct manpage description of criteria for deciding if the terminal
10555	  supports xterm mouse controls.
10556	+ add several configure script options to aid with cross-compiling:
10557	  --with-build-cc, --with-build-cflags, --with-build-ldflags, and
10558	  --with-build-libs (request by Greg Roelofs).
10559	+ change criteria for deciding if configure is cross-compiling from
10560	  host/build mismatch to host/target mismatch (request by Greg Roelofs
10561	  <greg.roelofs@philips.com>).
10562	+ correct logic for infocmp -e and -E options which writes the data for
10563	  the ext_Names[] array.  This is needed if one constructs a fallback
10564	  table for a terminfo entry which uses extended termcap names, e.g.,
10565	  AX in a color xterm.
10566	+ fix undefined NCURSES_PATHSEP when configure --disable-database
10567	  option is given.
10568
1056920010811
10570	+ fix for VALID_BOOLEAN() macro when char is not signed.
10571	+ modify 'clean' rule for C++ binding to work with Sun compiler, which
10572	  caches additional information in a subdirectory of the objects.
10573	+ added llib-ncursesw.
10574
1057520010804
10576	+ add Caps.keys example for experimental extended function keys
10577	  (adapted from a patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
10578	+ correct parameter types of vidputs() and vidattr() to agree with
10579	  header files (report by William P Setzer).
10580	+ fix typos in several man-pages (patch by William P Setzer).
10581	+ remove unneeded ifdef for __GNUG__ in CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC configure
10582	  macro, which made ncurses C++ binding fail to build with other
10583	  C++ compilers such as HPUX 11.x (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
10584	+ workaround for bug in HPUX 11.x C compiler: add a blank after
10585	  NCURSES_EXPORT macro in form.h (report by Albert Chin-A-Young)
10586	+ ignore blank lines in Caps* files in MKkey_defs.sh script (report by
10587	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
10588	+ correct definition of key_end in Caps.aix4, which left KEY_END
10589	  undefined (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
10590	+ remove a QNX-specific fallback prototype for vsscanf(), which is
10591	  obsolete with QNX RTP.
10592	+ review/fix some of the T() and TR() macro calls, having noticed that
10593	  there was no data for delwin() in a trace of dialog because there was
10594	  no returnVoid call for wtimeout().  Also, traces in lib_twait.c are
10595	  now selected under TRACE_IEVENT rather than TRACE_CALLS.
10596
1059720010728
10598	+ add a _nc_access() check before opening files listed via $TERMPATH.
10599	+ using modified man2html, regenerate some of the html manpages to fix
10600	  broken HREF's where the link was hyphenated.
10601
1060220010721
10603	+ add some limit/pointer checks to -S option of tputs.
10604	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
10605	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
10606	+ add a note in curs_termcap.3x regarding a defect in the XSI
10607	  description of tgetent (based on a discussion with Urs Jansen
10608	  regarding the HPUX 11.x implementation, whose termcap interface is
10609	  not compatible with existing termcap programs).
10610	+ modify manhtml rule in dist.mk to preserve copyright notice on the
10611	  generated files, as well as to address HTML style issues reported by
10612	  tidy and weblint.  Regenerated/updated corresponding html files.
10613	+ comment out use of Protected_Character and related rarely used
10614	  attributes in ncurses Ada95 test/demo to compile with wide-character
10615	  configuration.
10616
1061720010714
10618	+ implement a simple example in C++ demo to test scanw().
10619	+ corrected stdio function used to implement scanw() in cursesw.cc
10620	+ correct definition of RemAttr() macro from 20010602 changes, which
10621	  caused C++ SillyDemo to not show line-drawing characters.
10622	+ modify C++ binding, adding getKey() which can be overridden by user
10623	  to substitute functions other than getch() for keyboard processing
10624	  of forms and menus (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10625
1062620010707
10627	+ fix some of the trace calls which needed modification to work with
10628	  new wide-character structures.
10629	+ modify magic-cookie code in tty_update.c to compile with new
10630	  wide-character structures (report by <George.R.Goffe@seagate.com>).
10631	+ ensure that _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined in curses.priv.h if
10632	  compiling for wide-character configuration.
10633	+ make addwnstr() handle non-spacing characters (patch by Sven
10634	  Verdoolaege).
10635
1063620010630
10637	+ add configure check to define _GNU_SOURCE, needed to prop up glibc
10638	  header files.
10639	+ split-out include/curses.wide to solve spurious redefinitions caused
10640	  by defining _GNU_SOURCE, and move includes for <signal.h> before
10641	  <curses.h> to work around misdefinition of ERR in glibc 2.1.3 header
10642	  file.
10643	+ extended ospeed change to NetBSD and OpenBSD -TD
10644	+ modify logic in lib_baudrate.c for ospeed, for FreeBSD to make it
10645	  work properly for termcap applications (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
10646
1064720010623
10648	+ correct an overlooked CharOf/UChar instance (reports by Eugene Lee
10649	  <eugene@anime.net>, Sven Verdoolaege).
10650	+ correct unneeded ifdef for wunctrl() (reported by Sven Verdoolaege)
10651
1065220010618
10653	+ change overlooked several CharOf/UChar instances.
10654	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
10655	+ correct a typo in wunctrl(), which made it appear that botwc() was
10656	  needed (no such function: use btowc()).
10657	+ reimplement wide-character demo in test/view.c, using new functions.
10658	+ implement getcchar(), setcchar(), wadd_wchnstr() and related macros.
10659	+ fix a syntax problem with do/if/while in PUTC macro (curses.priv.h).
10660
1066120010616
10662	+ add parentheses in macros for malloc in test.priv.h, fixes an
10663	  expression in view.c (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.co.at>).
10664	+ add Caps.uwin, as an example.
10665	+ change the way curses.h is generated, making the list of function
10666	  key definitions extracted from the Caps file.
10667	+ add #undef's before possible redefinition of ERR and OK in curses.h
10668	+ modify logic in tic, toe, tput and tset which checks for basename of
10669	  argv[0] to work properly on systems such as OS/2 which have
10670	  case-independent filenames and/or program suffixes, e.g., ".ext".
10671
1067220010609
10673	+ add a configure check, if --enable-widec is specified, for putwc(),
10674	  which may be in libutf8.
10675	+ remove some unnecessary text from curs_extend.3x and
10676	  default_colors.3x which caused man-db to make incorrect symbolic
10677	  links (Debian #99550).
10678	+ add configure check if cast for _IO_va_list is needed to compile
10679	  C++ vscan code (Debian #97945).
10680	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
10681	+ correct code that used non-standard auto-initialization of a struct,
10682	  which gcc allows (report by Larry Virden).
10683	+ use putwc() in PUTC() macro.
10684	+ make addstr() work for the special case where the codeset is
10685	  non-stateful (eg. UTF-8), as well as stateful codesets.
10686
1068720010603
10688	+ correct loop expression in NEXT_CHAR macro for lib_addstr.c changes
10689	  from 20010602 (report by Mike Castle).
10690
1069120010602
10692	+ modify mvcur() to avoid emitting newline characters when nonl() mode
10693	  is set.  Normally this is not a problem since the actual terminal
10694	  mode is set to suppress nl/crlf translations, however it is useful to
10695	  allow the caller to manipulate the terminal mode to avoid staircasing
10696	  effects after spawning a process which writes messages (for lynx
10697	  2.8.4) -TD
10698	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org>:
10699	+ remove redundant type-conversion in fifo_push()
10700	+ correct definition of addwstr() macro in curses.h.in
10701	+ remove _nc_utf8_outch()
10702	+ rename most existing uses of CharOf() to UChar(), e.g., where it is
10703	  used to prevent sign-extension in ctype macros.
10704	+ change some chtype's to attr_t's where the corresponding variables
10705	  are used to manipulate attributes.
10706	+ UpdateAttr() was applied to both attributes (attr_t) and characters
10707	  (chtype).  Modify macro and calls to it to make these distinct.
10708	+ add CharEq() macro, use in places where wide-character configuration
10709	  implementation uses a struct for cchar_t.
10710	+ moved struct ldat into curses.priv.h, to hide implementation details.
10711	+ change CharOf() macro to use it for masking A_CHARTEXT data from
10712	  chtype's.
10713	+ add L() macro to curses.priv.h, for long-character literals.
10714	+ replace several assignments from struct ldat entries to chtype or
10715	  char values with combinations of CharOf() and AttrOf() macros.
10716	+ add/use intermediate ChAttrOf() and ChCharOf() macros where we know
10717	  we are using chtype data.
10718	+ add/use lowlevel attribute manipulation macros AddAttr(), RemAttr()
10719	  and SetAttr().
10720	+ add/use SetChar() macro, to change a cchar_t based on a character and
10721	  attributes.
10722	+ convert most internal use of chtype to NCURSES_CH_T, to simplify use
10723	  of cchar_t for wide-character configuration.  Similarly, use ARG_CH_T
10724	  where a pointer would be more useful.
10725	+ add stubs for tracing cchar_t values.
10726	+ add/use macro ISBLANK()
10727	+ add/use constructors for cchar_t's: NewChar(), NewChar2().
10728	+ add/use macros CHREF(), CHDEREF(), AttrOfD(), CharOfD() to facilitate
10729	  passing cchar_t's by address.
10730	+ add/use PUTC_DATA, PUTC() macros.
10731	+ for wide-character configuration, move the window background data to
10732	  the end of the WINDOW struct so that whether _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
10733	  is defined or not, the offsets in the struct will not change.
10734	+ modify addch() to work with wide-characters.
10735	+ mark several wide-character functions as generated in curses.h.in
10736	+ implement wunctrl(), wadd_wch(), wbkgrndset(), wbkgrnd(),
10737	  wborder_set() and waddnwstr().
10738
1073920010526
10740	+ add experimental --with-caps=XXX option to customize to similar
10741	  terminfo database formats such as AIX 4.x
10742	+ add Caps.aix4 as an example.
10743	+ modify Caps to add columns for the the KEY_xxx symbols.
10744	+ modify configure --with-widec to suppress overwrite of libcurses.so
10745	  and curses.h
10746	+ add checks to toe.c to avoid being confused by files and directories
10747	  where we would expect the reverse, e.g., source-files in the
10748	  top-level terminfo levels as is the case for AIX.
10749
1075020010519
10751	+ add top-level 'depend' rule for the C sources, assuming that the
10752	  makedepend program is available.  As a side-effect, this makes
10753	  the generated sources, as in "make sources" (prompted by a report
10754	  by Mike Castle that "make -j" fails because the resulting parallel
10755	  processes race to generate ncurses/names.c).
10756	+ modify configure script so that --disable-overwrite option's action
10757	  to add a symbolic link for libcurses applies to the static library as
10758	  well as the shared library when both are configured (report by Felix
10759	  Natter <f.natter@ndh.net>).
10760	+ add ELKS terminfo entries (Federico Bianchi
10761	  <bianchi@www.arte.unipi.it>)
10762	+ add u6 (CSR) to Eterm (Michael Jennings).
10763
1076420010512
10765	+ modify test/ncurses.c to work with xterm-256color, which has fewer
10766	  color pairs than colors*colors (report by David Ellement
10767	  <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).
10768
1076920010505
10770	+ corrected screen.xterm-xfree86 entry.
10771	+ update comment in Caps regarding IBM (AIX) function-key definitions.
10772
1077320010421
10774	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to link with libncurses++w.a when configured
10775	  for wide-characters (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
10776	+ add check in _nc_trace_buf() to refrain from freeing a null pointer.
10777	+ improve CF_PROG_INSTALL macro using CF_DIRNAME.
10778	+ update config.guess, config.sub from autoconf 2.49e (alpha).
10779
1078020010414
10781	+ add secondary check in tic.c, similar_sgr() to see if the reason
10782	  for mismatch was that the individual capabilities used a time-delay
10783	  while sgr did not.  Used this to cleanup mismatches, e.g., in vt100,
10784	  and remove time-delay from Apple_Terminal entries.
10785	+ add Apple_Terminal terminfo entries (Benjamin C W Sittler
10786	  <bsittler@iname.com>).
10787	+ correct definitions of shifted editing keys for xterm-xfree86 -TD
10788	+ fix a bug in test/bs.c from 20010407 (patch by Erik Sigra).
10789	+ prevent relative_move() from doing an overwrite if it detects 8-bit
10790	  characters when configured for UTF-8 (reported by Sven Verdoolaege
10791	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
10792
1079320010407
10794	+ add configure checks for strstream.h vscan function, and similar
10795	  stdio-based function which may be used in C++ binding for gcc 3.0
10796	  (reports by George Goffe, Lars Hecking, Mike Castle).
10797	+ rewrite parts of configure.in which used changequote().  That feature
10798	  is broken in the latest autoconf alphas (e.g., 2.49d).
10799	+ add a missing pathname for ncurses_dll.h, needed when building in
10800	  a directory outside the source tree (patch by Sven Verdoolaege
10801	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
10802	> fix 2 bugs in test/bs.c Erik Sigra <sigra@home.se>:
10803	+ no ships were ever placed in the last row or in the last column.
10804	  This made the game very easy to win, because you never had to waste
10805	  any shots there, but the computer did.
10806	+ the squares around a sunken ship that belonged to the player were not
10807	  displayed as already hit by the computer, like it does for the
10808	  player.
10809
1081020010331
10811	+ add some examples of customizing screen's terminfo:
10812	  screen.xterm-xfree86, screen.xterm-r6, screen.teraterm -TD
10813	+ modify screen's terminfo entry to match the khome/kend in screen
10814	  3.09.08 (Debian #92215).
10815	+ correct a memory leak in forms library (report by Stefan Vogtner
10816	  <stefan@vogtner.de>) (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10817
1081820010324
10819	+ change symbols used to guard against repeated includes to begin
10820	  consistently with "NCURSES_" rather than a leading underscore.  There
10821	  are other symbols defined in the header files which begin with a
10822	  leading underscore, but they are part of the legacy interface.
10823	+ reorder includes in c++ binding so that rcs identifiers can be
10824	  compiled-in.
10825	+ add .cc.ii rule to c++ makefile, to get preprocessor output for
10826	  debugging.
10827	+ correct configure script handling of @keyword@ substitutions when the
10828	  --with-manpage-renames option is given (cf: 20000715, fixes Debian
10829	  #89939).
10830	+ report stack underflow/overflow in tparm() when tic -cv option is
10831	  given.
10832	+ remove spurious "%|" operator from xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry,
10833	  (reported by Adam Costello <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, Debian #89222).
10834
1083520010310
10836	+ cleanup of newdemo.c, fixing some ambiguous expressions noted by gcc
10837	  2.95.2, and correcting some conflicting color pair initializations.
10838	+ add missing copyright notice for cursesw.h
10839	+ review, make minor fixes for use of '::' for referring to C-language
10840	  interface from C++ binding.
10841	+ modify configure check for g++ library slightly to accommodate
10842	  nonstandard version number, e.g., <vendor>-2.7 (report by Ronald Ho
10843	  <rho@mipos2.intel.com>).
10844	+ add configure check for c++ <sstream> header, replace hardcoded
10845	  ifdef.
10846	+ workaround for pre-release of gcc 3.0 libstdc++, which has dropped
10847	  vscan from strstreambuf to follow standard, use wrapper for C vscanf
10848	  instead (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@excite.com> and Matt Taggart
10849	  <taggart@carmen.fc.hp.com>, fixes Debian .
10850
1085120010303
10852	+ modify interface of _nc_get_token() to pass 'silent' parameter to it,
10853	  to make quieter loading of /etc/termcap (patch by Todd C Miller).
10854	+ correct a few typos in curs_slk.3x and curs_outopts.3x manpages
10855	  (patch by Todd C Miller).
10856
1085720010224
10858	+ compiler-warning fixes (reported by Nelson Beebe).
10859
1086020010210
10861	+ modify screen terminfo entry to use new 3.9.8 feature allowing xterm
10862	  mouse controls -TD
10863
1086420010203
10865	+ broaden patterns used to match OS/2 EMX in configure script to cover
10866	  variant used in newer config.guess/config.sub
10867	+ remove changequote() calls from configure script, since this feature
10868	  is broken in the autoconf 2.49c alpha, maintainers decline to fix.
10869	+ remove macro callPutChar() from tty_update.c, since this is no longer
10870	  needed (reported by Philippe Blain).
10871	+ add a null-pointer check in tic.c to handle the case when the input
10872	  file is really empty.  Modify the next_char() function in comp_scan.c
10873	  to allow arbitrarily long lines, and incidentally supply a newline to
10874	  files that do not end in a newline.  These changes improve tic's
10875	  recovery from attempts to read binary files, e.g., its output from
10876	  the terminfo database (reported by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
10877
1087820010127
10879	+ revert change to c++/demo.cc from 20001209, which changed definition
10880	  of main() apparently to accommodate cygwin linker, but broke the demo
10881	  program.
10882	+ workaround for broken egcs 2.91.66 which calls member functions
10883	  (i.e., lines() and colors() of NCursesWindow before calling its
10884	  constructor.  Add calls to initialize() in a few constructors which
10885	  did not do this already.
10886	+ use the GNAT preprocessor to make the necessary switch between TRACE
10887	  and NO_TRACE configurations (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10888	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
10889	+ modify kterm terminfo entry to use SCS sequence to support alternate
10890	  character set (it does not work with SI/SO).
10891	+ --with-ospeed=something didn't work.  configure.in checked for a
10892	  $enableval where it should check for $withval.  Also,
10893	  ncurses/llib-lncurses still had a hardcoded short.
10894
1089520010114
10896	+ correction to my merge of Tom Riddle's patch that broke tic in some
10897	  conditions (reported by Enoch Wexler <enoch@wexler.co.il>) -TD
10898
1089920010113
10900	+ modify view.c to test halfdelay().  Like other tests, this recognizes
10901	  the 's' and space commands for stopping/starting polled input, shows
10902	  a freerunning clock in the header.  If given a parameter to 's', that
10903	  makes view.c use halfdelay() with that parameter rather than
10904	  nodelay().
10905	+ fix to allow compile with the experimental configure option
10906	  --disable-hashmap.
10907	+ modify postprocess_termcap() to avoid overwriting key_backspace,
10908	  key_left, key_down when processing a non-base entry (report/patch by
10909	  Tom Riddle).
10910	+ modify _nc_wrap_entry(), adding option to reallocate the string
10911	  table, needed in _nc_merge_entry() when merging termcap entries.
10912	  (adapted from report/patch by Tom Riddle <ftr@oracom.com>).
10913	+ modify a few configure script macros to keep $CFLAGS used only for
10914	  compiler options, preprocessor options in $CPPFLAGS.
10915
1091620001230
10917	+ correct marker positions in lrtest.c after receiving a sigwinch.
10918	+ fix ifdef's in ncurses.c to build against pre-5.2 for testing.
10919	+ fixes to tclock for resizing behavior, redundant computation (report
10920	  and patch by A M Kuchling <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>).
10921
1092220001216
10923	+ improved scoansi terminfo entry -TD
10924	+ modify configure script and makefile in Ada95/src to compile a stub
10925	  for the trace functions when ncurses does not provide those.
10926
1092720001209
10928	+ add ncurses_dll.h and related definitions to support generating DLL's
10929	  with cygwin (adapted from a patch by Charles Wilson
10930	  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>, changed NCURSES_EXPORT macro to make it
10931	  work with 'indent') -TD
10932
1093320001202
10934	+ correct prototypes for some functions in curs_termcap.3x, matching
10935	  termcap.h, which matches X/Open.
10936	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
10937	+ a revised version of the Ada enhancements sent in by "H.
10938	  Nanosecond", aka Eugene V Melaragno <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>.  This
10939	  patch includes
10940	  - small fixes to the existing ncurses binding
10941	  - addition of some more low-level functions to the binding, including
10942	    termcap and terminfo functions
10943	  - An Ada implementation of the "ncurses" test application originally
10944	    written in C.
10945
1094620001125
10947	+ modify logic in lib_setup.c to allow either lines or columns value
10948	  from terminfo to be used if the screen size cannot be determined
10949	  dynamically rather than requiring both (patch by Ehud Karni
10950	  <ehud@unix.simonwiesel.co.il>).
10951	+ add check in lib_tgoto.c's is_termcap() function to reject null or
10952	  empty strings (reported by Valentin Nechayev <netch@netch.kiev.ua> to
10953	  freebsd-bugs).
10954	+ add definition from configure script that denotes the path-separator,
10955	  which is normally a colon.  The path-separator is a semicolon on
10956	  OS/2 EMX and similar systems which may use a colon within pathnames.
10957	+ alter logic to set default for --disable-overwrite option to set it
10958	  to 'yes' if the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr/local, thereby
10959	  accommodating the most common cause of problems: gcc's nonstandard
10960	  search rules.  Other locations such as /usr/local/ncurses will
10961	  default to overwriting (report by Lars Hecking <lhecking@nmrc.ie>).
10962
1096320001118
10964	+ modify default for --disable-overwrite configure option to disable
10965	  if the --prefix or $prefix value is not /usr.
10966	+ add cygwin to systems for which ncurses is installed by default into
10967	  /usr rather than /usr/local.
10968
1096920001111
10970	+ minor optimization in comp_error.c and lib_termname.c, using
10971	  strncat() to replace strncpy() (patch by Solar Designer).
10972	+ add a use_terminfo_vars() check for $HOME/.termcap, and check for
10973	  geteuid() to use_terminfo_vars() (patch by Solar Designer
10974	  <solar@false.com>).
10975	+ improved cygwin terminfo entry, based on patch by
10976	  <ernie_boyd@yahoo.com>.
10977	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to allow for the possibility that linking
10978	  aliases on a filesystem that ignores case would not succeed because
10979	  the source and destination differ only by case, e.g., NCR260VT300WPP0
10980	  on cygwin (report by Neil Zanella).
10981	+ fix a typo in the curs_deleteln.3x man page (patch by Bernhard
10982	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
10983
1098420001104
10985	+ add configure option --with-ospeed to assist packagers in transition
10986	  to 5.3 change to ospeed type.
10987	+ add/use CharOf() macro to suppress sign-extension of char type on
10988	  platforms where this is a problem in ctype macros, e.g., Solaris.
10989	+ change trace output to binary format.
10990	+ correct a missing quote adjustment in CF_PATH_SYNTAX autoconf
10991	  macro, for OS/2 EMX configuration.
10992	+ rearrange a few configure macros, moving preprocessor options to
10993	  $CPPFLAGS (a now-obsolete version of autoconf did not consistently
10994	  use $CPPFLAGS in both the compile and preprocessor checks).
10995	+ add a check in relative_move() to guard against buffer overflow in
10996	  the overwrite logic.
10997
1099820001028
10999	+ add message to configure script showing g++ version.
11000	+ resync config.guess, config.sub
11001	+ modify lib_delwin.c, making it return ERR if the window did not exist
11002	  (suggested by Neil Zanella).
11003	+ add cases for FreeBSD 3.1 to tdlint and makellib scripts, used this
11004	  to test/review ncurses library.  (Would use lclint, but it doesn't
11005	  work).
11006	+ reorganized knight.c to avoid forward references.  Correct screen
11007	  updates when backtracking, especially to the first cell.  Add F/B/a
11008	  commands.
11009
1101020001021 5.2 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
11011	+ update generated html files from manpages.
11012	+ modify dist.mk to use edit_man.sh to substitute autoconf'd variables
11013	  in html manpages.
11014	+ fix an uninitialized pointer in read_termcap.c (report by Todd C
11015	  Miller, from report/patch by Philip Guenther <guenther@gac.edu>).
11016	+ correct help-message and array limit in knight.c (patch by Brian
11017	  Raiter <breadbox@muppetlabs.com>).
11018	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
11019	+ fix to avoid warning by GNAT-3.13p about use of inconsistent casing
11020	  for some identifiers defined in the standard package.
11021	+ cosmetic change to forms/fty_enum.c
11022
1102320001014
11024	+ correct an off-by-one position in test/railroad.c which could cause
11025	  wrapping at the right margin.
11026	+ test/repair some issues with libtool configuration.  Make
11027	  --disable-echo force libtool --silent.  (Libtool does not work for
11028	  OS/2 EMX, works partly for SCO - libtool is still very specific to
11029	  gcc).
11030	+ change default of --with-manpage-tbl to "no", since for most of the
11031	  platforms which do have tbl installed, the system "man" program
11032	  understands how to run tbl automatically.
11033	+ minor improvement to force_bar() in comp_parse.c (Bernhard
11034	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
11035	+ modify lib_tparm.c to use get_space() before writing terminating
11036	  null character, both for consistency as well as to ensure that if
11037	  save_char() was called immediately before, that the allocated memory
11038	  is enough (patch by Sergei Ivanov).
11039	+ add note about termcap ML capability which is duplicated between two
11040	  different capabilities:  smgl and smglr (reported by Sergei Ivanov
11041	  <svivanov@pdmi.ras.ru>).
11042	+ correct parameter counts in include/Caps for dclk as well as some
11043	  printer-specific capabilities: csnm, defc, scs, scsd, smgtp, smglp.
11044	> patch by Johnny C Lam <lamj@stat.cmu.edu>:
11045	+ add support for building with libtool (apparently version 1.3.5,
11046	  since old versions do not handle -L../lib), using new configure
11047	  option --with-libtool.
11048	+ add configure option --with-manpage-tbl, which causes the manpages to
11049	  be preprocessed by tbl(1) prior to installation,
11050	+ add configure option --without-curses-h, which causes the
11051	  installation process to install curses.h as ncurses.h and make
11052	  appropriate changes to headers and manpages.
11053
1105420001009
11055	+ correct order of options/parameters in run_tic.in invocation of tic,
11056	  which did not work with standard getopt() (reported by Ethan
11057	  Butterfield <primus@veris.org>).
11058	+ correct logic for 'reverse' variable in lib_vidattr.c, which was
11059	  setting it true without checking if newmode had A_REVERSE set, e.g.,
11060	  using $TERM=ansi on OS/2 EMX (see 20000917).
11061	> patch by Todd C Miller:
11062	+ add a few missing use_terminfo_vars() and fixes up _nc_tgetent().
11063	  Previously, _nc_cgetset() would still get called on cp so the
11064	  simplest thing is to set cp to NULL if !use_terminfo_vars().
11065	+ added checks for an empty $HOME environment variable.
11066	> patches for OS/2 EMX (Ilya Zakharevich):
11067	+ modify convert_configure.pl to support INSTALL.  Change compiler
11068	  options in that script to use multithreading, needed for the mouse.
11069	+ modify OS/2 mouse support, retrying as a 2-button mouse if code fails
11070	  to set up a 3-button mouse.
11071	+ improve code for OS/2 mouse support, using _nc_timed_wait() to
11072	  replace select() call.
11073
1107420001007
11075	+ change type of ospeed variable back to short to match its use in
11076	  legacy applications (reported by Andrey A Chernov).
11077	+ add case to configure script for --enable-rpath on IRIX (patch by
11078	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
11079	+ minor fix to position_check() function, to ensure it gets the whole
11080	  cursor report before decoding.
11081	+ add configure option --disable-assumed-color, to allow pre-5.1
11082	  convention of default colors used for color-pair 0 to be configured
11083	  (see assume_default_colors()).
11084	+ rename configure option --enable-hashmap --disable-hashmap, and
11085	  reorder the configure options, splitting the experimental and
11086	  development
11087	+ add configure option --disable-root-environ, which tells ncurses to
11088	  disregard $TERMINFO and similar environment variables if the current
11089	  user is root, or running setuid/setgid (based on discussion with
11090	  several people).
11091	+ modified misc/run_tic.in to use tic -o, to eliminate dependency on
11092	  $TERMINFO variable for installs.
11093	+ add table entry for plab_norm to tput, so it passes in strings
11094	  for that capability.
11095	+ modify parse_format() in lib_tparm.c to ignore precision if it is
11096	  longer than 10000 (report by Jouko Pynnonen).
11097	+ rewrote limit checks in lib_mvcur.c using new functions
11098	  _nc_safe_strcat(), etc.  Made other related changes to check lengths
11099	  used for strcat/strcpy (report by Jouko Pynnonen
11100	  <jouko@solutions.fi>).
11101
1110220000930
11103	+ modify several descriptions, including those for setaf, setab, in
11104	  include/Caps to indicate that the entries are parameterized.  This
11105	  information is used to tell which strings are translated when
11106	  converting to termcap.  Fixes a problem where the generated termcap
11107	  would contain a spurious "%p1" for the terminfo "%p1%d".
11108	+ modify ld -rpath options (e.g., Linux, and Solaris) to use an
11109	  absolute pathname for the build tree's lib directory (prompted by
11110	  discussion with Albert Chin-A-Young).
11111	+ modify "make install.man" and "make uninstall.man" to include tack's
11112	  man-page.
11113	+ various fixes for install scripts used to support configure --srcdir
11114	  and --with-install-prefix (reported by Matthew Clarke
11115	  <Matthew_Clarke@mindlink.bc.ca>).
11116	+ make configure script checks on variables $GCC and $GXX consistently
11117	  compare against 'yes' rather than test if they are nonnull, since
11118	  either may be set to the corresponding name of the C or C++ compiler
11119	  (report/patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
11120
1112120000923
11122	+ modify rs2 capability in xterm-r6 and similar where cursor
11123	  save/restore bracketed the sequence for resetting video attributes.
11124	  The cursor restore would undo that (report by John Hawkinson
11125	  <jhawk@MIT.EDU> (see NetBSD misc/11052)).
11126	+ using parameter check added to tic, corrected 27 typos in
11127	  terminfo.src -TD
11128	+ modify tic to verify that its inputs are really files, in case
11129	  someone tries to read a directory (or /dev/zero).
11130	+ add a check for empty buffers returned by fgets() in comp_scan.c
11131	  next_char() function, in case tic is run on a non-text file (fixes
11132	  a core dump reported by Aaron Campbell <aaron@cs.dal.ca>).
11133	+ add to railroad.c some code exercising tgoto(), providing an
11134	  alternate form of display if the terminal supports cursor addressing.
11135	+ split-out tgoto() again, this time into new file lib_tgoto.c, and
11136	  implement a conventional BSD-style tgoto() which is used if the
11137	  capability string does not contain terminfo-style padding or
11138	  parameters (requested by Andrey A Chernov).
11139	+ add check to tic which reports capabilities that do not reference
11140	  the expected number of parameters.
11141	+ add error checking to infocmp's -v and -m options to ensure that
11142	  the option value is indeed a number.
11143	+ some cleanup of logic in _nc_signal_handler() to verify if SIGWINCH
11144	  handler is setup.  Separated the old/new sigaction data for SIGTSTP
11145	  from the other signals.
11146
1114720000917
11148	+ add S0, E0 extensions to screen's terminfo entry, which is another
11149	  way to solve the misconfiguration issue -TD
11150	+ completed special case for tgoto from 20000916
11151
1115220000916
11153	+ update xterm terminfo entries to match XFree86 xterm patch #146 -TD
11154	+ add Matrix Orbital terminfo entries (from Eric Z Ayers
11155	  <eric@ale.org>).
11156	+ add special case to lib_tparm.c to allow 'screen' program to use a
11157	  termcap-style parameter "%." to tgoto() for switching character sets.
11158	+ use LN_S substitution in run_tic.in, to work on OS/2 EMX which has
11159	  no symbolic links.
11160	+ updated notes in README.emx regarding autoconf patches.
11161	+ replace a lookup table in lib_vidattr.c used to decode no_color_video
11162	  with a logic expression (suggested by Philippe Blain).
11163	+ add a/A toggle to ncurses.c 'b' test, which clears/sets alternate
11164	  character set attribute from the displayed text.
11165	+ correct inequality in parameter analysis of rewritten lib_tparm.c
11166	  which had the effect of ignoring p9 in set_attributes (sgr), breaking
11167	  alternate character set (reported by Piotr Majka <charvel@link.pl>).
11168	+ correct ifdef'ing for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF which would not compile
11169	  with Sun WorkShop compilers since these tokens were empty (cf:
11170	  20000902, reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
11171
1117220000909
11173	+ correct an uninitialized parameter to open_tempfile() in tic.c which
11174	  made "tic -I" give an ambiguous error message about tmpnam.
11175	+ add special case in lib_vidattr.c to reset underline and standout for
11176	  devices that have no sgr0 defined (patch by Don Lewis
11177	  <Don.Lewis@tsc.tdk.com>).  Note that this will not work for bold
11178	  mode, since there is no exit-bold-mode capability.
11179	+ improved patch for Make_Enum_Type (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11180	+ modify tparm to disallow arithmetic on strings, analyze the varargs
11181	  list to read strings as strings and numbers as numbers.
11182	+ modify tparm's internal function spop() to treat a null pointer as
11183	  an empty string.
11184	+ modify tput program so it can be renamed or invoked via a link as
11185	  'reset' or 'init', producing the same effect as 'tput reset' or 'tput
11186	  init'.
11187	+ add private entrypoint _nc_basename(), use to consolidate related
11188	  code in progs, as well as accommodating OS/2 EMX pathnames.
11189	+ remove NCURSES_CONST line from edit_cfg.sh to compensate for its
11190	  removal (except via AC_SUBST) from configure.in, making
11191	  --enable-const work again (reported by Juergen Pfeifer).
11192	+ regen'd configure to pick up "hpux*" change from 20000902.
11193
1119420000902
11195	+ modify tset.c to check for transformed "reset" program name, if any.
11196	+ add a check for null pointer in Make_Enum_Type() (reported by Steven
11197	  W Orr <steveo@world.std.com>).
11198	+ change functions _nc_parse_entry() and postprocess_termcap() to avoid
11199	  using strtok(), because it is non-reentrant (reported by Andrey A
11200	  Chernov <ache@nagual.pp.ru>).
11201	+ remove "hpux10.*" case from CF_SHARED_OPTS configure script macro.
11202	  This differed from the "hpux*" case by using reversed symbolic
11203	  links, which made the 5.1 version not match the configuration of
11204	  5.0 shared libraries (reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
11205	+ correct a dependency in Ada95/src/Makefile.in which prevented
11206	  building with configure --srcdir (patch by H Nanosecond
11207	  <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>).
11208	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in to avoid warning if GCC_PRINTF or
11209	  GCC_SCANF was not previously defined (reported by Pavel Roskin
11210	  <proski@gnu.org>).
11211	+ add MKncurses_def.sh to generate fallback definitions for
11212	  ncurses_cfg.h, to quiet gcc -Wundef warnings, modified ifdef's in
11213	  code to consistently use "#if" rather than "#ifdef".
11214
1121520000826
11216	+ add QNX qansi entries to terminfo -TD
11217	+ add os2 entry to misc/emx.src (<jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
11218	+ add configure option --with-database to allow specifying a different
11219	  terminfo source-file to install.  On OS/2 EMX, this defaults to
11220	  misc/emx.src
11221	+ change misc/run_tic.sh to derive it from misc/run_tic.in, to simplify
11222	  setting .exe extension on OS/2 EMX.
11223	+ add .exe extension in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in,
11224	  Ada95/samples/Makefile.in, for OS/2 EMX (reported by
11225	  <jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
11226	+ add configure check for filesystems (such as OS/2 EMX) which do not
11227	  distinguish between upper/lowercase filenames, use this to fix tags
11228	  rules in makefiles.
11229	+ initialize fds[] array to 0's in _nc_timed_wait(); apparently poll()
11230	  only sets the revents members of that array when there is activity
11231	  corresponding to the related file (report by Glenn Cooper
11232	  <gcooper@qantas.com.au>, using Purify on Solaris 5.6).
11233	+ change configure script to use AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM rather than
11234	  AC_CANONICAL_HOST, which means that configure --target will set
11235	  a default program-prefix.
11236	+ add note on cross-compiling to INSTALL (which does not rely on the
11237	  AC_CANONICAL_* macros).
11238
1123920000819
11240	+ add cases for EMX OS/2 to config.guess, config.sub
11241	+ new version of config.guess, config.sub from lynx 2.8.4dev.7
11242	+ add definitions via transform.h to allow tic and tput to check for
11243	  the transformed aliases rather than the original infotocap, etc.
11244	+ simplify transform-expressions in progs/Makefile.in, make the
11245	  uninstall rule work for transformed program names.
11246	+ change symbol used by --install-prefix configure option from
11247	  INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR (the latter has become common usage
11248	  although the name is misleading).
11249	+ modify programs to use curses_version() string to report the version
11250	  of ncurses with which they are compiled rather than the
11251	  NCURSES_VERSION string.  The function returns the patch level in
11252	  addition to the major and minor version numbers.
11253
1125420000812
11255	+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to make transformed program names
11256	  a parameter to that macro rather than embedding them in the macro.
11257	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in lynx
11258	  2.8.4dev.7).
11259	+ add configure option --with-default-terminfo-dir=DIR to allow
11260	  specifying the default terminfo database directory (request by Albert
11261	  Chin-A-Young).
11262	+ minor updates for terminfo.src from FreeBSD termcap change-history.
11263	+ correct notes in README and INSTALL regarding documentation files
11264	  that were moved from misc directory to doc (report by Rich Kulawiec
11265	  <rsk@gsp.org>).
11266	+ change most remaining unquoted parameters of 'test' in configure
11267	  script to use quotes, for instance fixing a problem in the
11268	  --disable-database option (reported by Christian Mondrup
11269	  <scancm@biobase.dk>).
11270	+ minor adjustments to work around some of the incompatibilities/bugs
11271	  in autoconf 2.29a alpha.
11272	+ add -I/usr/local/include when --with-ncurses option is used in
11273	  test/configure script.
11274	+ correct logic in adjust_cancels(), which did not check both
11275	  alternatives when reclassifying an extended name between boolean,
11276	  number and string, causing an infinite loop in tic.
11277
1127820000730
11279	+ correct a missing backslash in curses.priv.h
11280
1128120000729
11282	+ change handling of non_dest_scroll_region in tty_update.c to clear
11283	  text after it is shifted in rather than before shifting out.  Also
11284	  correct row computation (reported by Ruediger Kuhlmann
11285	  <uck4@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>).
11286	+ add/use new trace function to display chtype values from winch() and
11287	  getbkgd().
11288	+ add trace mask TRACE_ATTRS, alter several existing _tracef calls that
11289	  trace attribute changes under TRACE_CALLS to use this.
11290	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh so that functions returning chtype will call
11291	  returnChar().
11292	+ add returnChar() trace, for functions returning chtype.
11293	+ change indent.pro to line up parenthesis.
11294
1129520000722
11296	+ fix a heap problem with the c++ binding (report by
11297	  <alexander_liberson@ninewest.com>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11298	+ minor adjustment to ClrToEOL() to handle an out-of-bounds parameter.
11299	+ modify the check for big-core to force a couple of memory accesses,
11300	  which may work as needed for older/less-capable machines (if not,
11301	  there's still the explicit configure option).
11302	> fixes based on diff's for Amiga and BeOS found at
11303	  http://www.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~kuhlmann/cross/ncurses/
11304	+ alter definition of NCURSES_CONST to make it non-empty.
11305	+ add amiga-vnc terminfo entry.
11306	+ redefine 'TEXT' in menu.h for AMIGA, since it is reported to have
11307	  an (unspecified) symbol conflict.
11308	+ replaced case-statement in _nc_tracebits() for CSIZE with a table to
11309	  simplify working around implementations that define random
11310	  combinations of the related macros to zero.
11311	+ modify configure test for tcgetattr() to allow for old
11312	  implementations, e.g., on BeOS, which only defined it as a macro.
11313	> patches by Bruno Haible:
11314	+ when checking LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG environment variables for UTF-8
11315	  locale, ignore those which are set to an empty value, as per SUSV2.
11316	+ encode 0xFFFD in UTF-8 with 3 bytes, not 2.
11317	+ modify _nc_utf8_outch() to avoid sign-extension when checking for
11318	  out-of-range value.
11319
1132020000715
11321	+ correct manlinks.sed script to avoid using ERE "\+", which is not
11322	  understood by older versions of sed (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
11323	+ implement configure script options that transform installed program
11324	  names, e.g., --program-prefix, including the manpage names and cross
11325	  references (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>).
11326	+ correct several mismatches between manpage filename and ".TH"
11327	  directives, renaming dft_fgbg.3x to default_colors.3x and
11328	  menu_attribs.3x to menu_attributes.3x (report by Todd C Miller).
11329	+ correct missing includes for <string.h> in several places, including
11330	  the C++ binding.  This is not noted by gcc unless we use the
11331	  -fno-builtin option (reported by Igor Schein <igor@txc.com>).
11332	+ modified progs/tset.c and tack/sysdep.c to build with sgttyb
11333	  interface if neither termio or termios is available.  Tested this
11334	  with FreeBSD 2.1.5 (which does have termios - but the sgttyb does
11335	  work).
11336
1133720000708 5.1 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
11338	+ document configure options in INSTALL.
11339	+ add man-page for ncurses trace functions.
11340	+ correct return value shown in curs_touch.3x for is_linetouched() and
11341	  is_wintouched(), in curs_initscr.3x for isendwin(), and in
11342	  curs_termattr.3x for has_ic() and has_il().
11343	+ add prototypes for touchline() and touchwin(), adding them to the
11344	  list of generated functions.
11345	+ modify fifo_push() to put ERR into the fifo just like other values to
11346	  return from wgetch().  It was returning without doing that, making
11347	  end-of-file condition incorrectly return a 0 (reported by Todd C
11348	  Miller).
11349	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS for progs and tack (see 971115), since they
11350	  are needed for SCO OpenServer.
11351	+ move _nc_disable_period from free_ttype.c to comp_scan.c to appease
11352	  dynamic loaders on SCO and IRIX64.
11353	+ add "-a" option to test/ncurses.c to invoke assume_default_colors()
11354	  for testing.
11355	+ correct assignment in assume_default_colors() which tells ncurses
11356	  whether to use default colors, or the assumed ones (reported by Gary
11357	  Funck <gary@Intrepid.Com>).
11358	+ review/correct logic in mk-1st.awk for making symbolic links for
11359	  shared libraries, in particular for FreeBSD, etc.
11360	+ regenerate misc/*.def files for OS/2 EMX dll's.
11361	+ correct quoting of values for CC_SHARED_OPTS in aclocal.m4 for
11362	  cases openbsd2*, openbsd*, freebsd* and netbsd* (patch by Peter
11363	  Wemm) (err in 20000610).
11364	+ minor updates to release notes, as well as adding/updating URLs for
11365	  examples cited in announce.html
11366	> several fixes from Philippe Blain <philippe.blain2@freesbee.fr>:
11367	+ correct placement of ifdef for NCURSES_XNAMES in function
11368	  _nc_free_termtype(), fixes a memory leak.
11369	+ add a call to _nc_synchook() to the end of function whline() like
11370	  that in wvline() (difference was in 1.9.4).
11371	+ make ClearScreen() a little faster by moving two instances of
11372	  UpdateAttr() out of for-loops.
11373	+ simplify ClrBottom() by eliminating the tstLine data, using for-loops
11374	  (cf: 960428).
11375
1137620000701 pre-release
11377	+ change minor version to 1, i.e., ncurses 5.1
11378	+ add experimental configure option --enable-colorfgbg to check for
11379	  $COLORFGBG variable as set by rxvt/aterm/Eterm.
11380	+ add Eterm terminfo entry (Michael Jennings <mej@valinux.com>).
11381	+ modify manlinks.sed to pick aliases from the SYNOPSIS section, and
11382	  several manpages so manlinks.sed can find aliases for creating
11383	  symbolic links.
11384	+ add explanation to run_tic.sh regarding extended terminal
11385	  capabilities.
11386	+ change message format for edit_cfg.sh, since some people interpret
11387	  it as a warning.
11388	+ correct unescaped '$' in sysv5uw7*|unix_sv* rule for CF_SHARED_OPTS
11389	  configure macro (report by Thanh Ma <Thanh.Ma@casi-rusco.com>).
11390	+ correct logic in lib_twait.c as used by lib_mouse.c for GPM mouse
11391	  support when poll() is used rather than select() (prompted by
11392	  discussion with David Allen <DAllen24@aol.com>).
11393
1139420000624 pre-release
11395	+ modify TransformLine() to check for cells with different color pairs
11396	  that happen to render the same display colors.
11397	+ apply $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to cost-computation in mvcur().
11398	+ improve cost computation in PutRange() by accounting for the use
11399	  of parm_right_cursor in mvcur().
11400	+ correct cost computation in EmitRange(), which was not using the
11401	  normalized value for cursor_address.
11402	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in TIN 1.5.6).
11403
1140420000617
11405	+ update config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in PCRE 3.2).
11406	+ resync changes to gnathtml against version 1.22, regenerated html
11407	  files under doc/html/ada using this (1.22.1.1).
11408	+ regenerated html files under doc/html/man after correcting top and
11409	  bottom margin options for man2html in dist.mk
11410	+ minor fixes to test programs ncurses 'i' and testcurs program to make
11411	  the subwindow's background color cover the subwindow.
11412	+ modify configure script so AC_MSG_ERROR is temporarily defined to a
11413	  warning in AC_PROG_CXX to make it recover from a missing C++ compiler
11414	  without requiring user to add --without-cxx option (adapted from
11415	  comment by Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> to autoconf mailing list).
11416	+ modify headers.sh to avoid creating temporary files in the build
11417	  directory when installing headers (reported by Sergei Pokrovsky
11418	  <pok@nbsp.nsk.su>)
11419
1142020000610
11421	+ regenerated the html files under doc/html/ada/files and
11422	  doc/html/ada/funcs with a slightly-improved gnathtml.
11423	+ add kmous capability to linux terminfo entry to allow it to use
11424	  xterm-style events provided by gpm patch by Joerg Schoen.
11425	+ make the configure macro CF_SHARED_OPTS a little smarter by testing
11426	  if -fPIC is supported by gcc rather than -fpic.  The former option
11427	  allows larger symbol tables.
11428	+ update config.guess and config.sub (patches by
11429	  Kevin Buettner <kev@primenet.com> (for elf64_ia64),
11430	  Bernd Kuemmerlen <bkuemmer@mevis.de> (for MacOS X)).
11431	+ add warning for 'tic -cv' about use of '^?' in terminfo source, which
11432	  is an extension.
11433
1143420000527
11435	+ modify echo() behavior of getch() to match Solaris curses for
11436	  carriage return and backspace (reported by Neil Zanella).
11437	+ change _nc_flush() to a function.
11438	+ modify delscreen() to check if the output stream has been closed, and
11439	  if so, free the buffer allocated for setbuf (this provides an
11440	  ncurses-specific way to avoid a memory leak when repeatedly calling
11441	  newterm reported by Chipp C <at_1@zdnetonebox.com>).
11442	+ correct typo in curs_getch.3x manpage regarding noecho (reported by
11443	  David Malone <dwmalone@maths.tcd.ie>).
11444	+ add a "make libs" rule.
11445	+ make the Ada95 interface build with configure --enable-widec.
11446	+ if the configure --enable-widec option is given, append 'w' to names
11447	  of the generated libraries (e.g., libncursesw.so) to avoid conflict
11448	  with existing ncurses libraries.
11449
1145020000520
11451	+ modify view.c to make a rudimentary viewer of UTF-8 text if ncurses
11452	  is configured with the experimental wide-character support.
11453	+ add a simple UTF-8 output driver to the experimental wide-character
11454	  support.  If any of the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or
11455	  LANG contain the string "UTF-8", this driver will be used to
11456	  translate the output to UTF-8.  This works with XFree86 xterm.
11457	+ modify configure script to allow building shared libraries on BeOS
11458	  (from a patch by Valeriy E Ushakov).
11459	+ modify lib_addch.c to allow repeated update to the lower-right
11460	  corner, rather than displaying only the first character written until
11461	  the cursor is moved.  Recent versions of SVr4 curses can update the
11462	  lower-right corner, and behave this way (reported by Neil Zanella).
11463	+ add a limit-check in _nc_do_color(), to avoid using invalid color
11464	  pair value (report by Brendan O'Dea <bod@compusol.com.au>).
11465
1146620000513
11467	+ the tack program knows how to use smcup and rmcup but the "show caps
11468	  that can be tested" feature did not reflect this knowledge.  Correct
11469	  the display in the menu tack/test/edit/c (patch by Daniel Weaver).
11470	+ xterm-16color does allow bold+colors, removed ncv#32 from that
11471	  terminfo entry.
11472
1147320000506
11474	+ correct assignment to SP->_has_sgr_39_49 in lib_dft_fgbg.c, which
11475	  broke check for screen's AX capability (reported by Valeriy E Ushakov
11476	  <uwe@ptc.spbu.ru>).
11477	+ change man2html rule in dist.mk to workaround bug in some
11478	  man-programs that ignores locale when rendering hyphenation.
11479	+ change web- and ftp-site to dickey.his.com
11480
1148120000429
11482	+ move _nc_curr_token from parse_entry.c to comp_scan.c, to work around
11483	  problem linking tack on MacOS X DP3.
11484	+ include <sys/time.h> in lib_napms.c to compile on MacOS X DP3
11485	  (reported by Gerben Wierda <wierda@holmes.nl>).
11486	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to check for ncv fixes when pair-0 is not
11487	  default colors.
11488	+ add -d option to ncurses.c, to turn on default-colors for testing.
11489	+ add a check to _nc_makenew() to ensure that newwin() and newpad()
11490	  calls do not silently fail by passing too-large limits.
11491	+ add symbol NCURSES_SIZE_T to use rather than explicit 'short' for
11492	  internal window and pad sizes.  Note that since this is visible in
11493	  the WINDOW struct, it would be an ABI change to make this an 'int'
11494	  (prompted by a question by Bastian Trompetter
11495	  <btrompetter@firemail.de>, who attempted to create a 96000-line pad).
11496
1149720000422
11498	+ add mgterm terminfo entry from NetBSD, minor adjustments to sun-ss5,
11499	  aixterm entries -TD
11500	+ modify tack/ansi.c to make it more tolerant of bad ANSI replies.  An
11501	  example of an illegal ANSI response can be found using Microsoft's
11502	  Telnet client.  A correct display can be found using a VT-4xx
11503	  terminal or XFree86 xterm with:
11504		XTerm*VT100*decTerminalID:  450
11505	  (patch by Daniel Weaver).
11506	+ modify gdc.c to recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' '
11507	  for resume.  Add '-n' option to force gdc's standard input to
11508	  /dev/null, to both illustrate the use of newterm() for specifying
11509	  alternate inputs as well as for testing signal handling.
11510	+ minor fix for configure option --with-manpage-symlinks, for target
11511	  directories that contain a period ('.') (reported by Larry Virden).
11512
1151320000415
11514	+ minor additions to beterm entry (feedback from Rico Tudor) -TD
11515	+ corrections/updates for some IBM terminfo entries -TD
11516	+ modify _nc_screen_wrap() so that when exiting curses mode with
11517	  non-default colors, the last line on the screen will be cleared to
11518	  the screen's default colors (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
11519	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' example to set nonl(), allowing control/M to be
11520	  read for demonstrating the REQ_NEW_LINE operation (prompted by a
11521	  question by Tony L Keith <tlkeith@keithconsulting.com>).
11522	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' example of field_info() to work on Solaris 2.7,
11523	  documented extension of ncurses which allows a zero pointer.
11524	+ modify fmt_complex() to avoid buffer overflow in case of excess
11525	  recursion, and to recognize "%e%?" as a synonym for else-if, which
11526	  means that it will not recur for that special case.
11527	+ add logic to support $TERMCAP variable in case the USE_GETCAP symbol
11528	  is defined (patch by Todd C Miller).
11529	+ modify one of the m4 files used to generate the Ada95 sources,
11530	  to avoid using the token "symbols" (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11531
1153220000408
11533	+ add terminfo entries bsdos-pc-m, bsdos-pc-mono (Jeffrey C Honig)
11534	+ correct spelling error in terminfo entry name:  bq300-rv was given as
11535	  bg300-rv in esr's version.
11536	+ modify redrawwin() macro so its parameter is fully parenthesized
11537	  (fixes Debian #61088).
11538	+ correct formatting error in dump_entry() which set incorrect column
11539	  value when no newline trimming was needed at the end of an entry,
11540	  before appending "use=" clauses (cf: 960406).
11541
1154220000401
11543	+ add configure option --with-manpage-symlinks
11544	+ change unctrl() to render C1 characters (128-159) as ~@, ~A, etc.
11545	+ change makefiles so trace() function is provided only if TRACE is
11546	  defined, e.g., in the debug library.  Modify related calls to
11547	  _tracechar() to use unctrl() instead.
11548
1154920000325
11550	+ add screen's AX capability (for ECMA SGR 39 and 49) to applicable
11551	  terminfo entries, use presence of this as a check for a small
11552	  improvement in setting default colors.
11553	+ improve logic in _nc_do_color() implementing assume_default_colors()
11554	  by passing in previous color pair info to eliminate redundant call to
11555	  set_original_colors().  (Part of this is from a patch by Alexander
11556	  V Lukyanov).
11557	+ modify warning in _nc_trans_string() about a possibly too-long string
11558	  to do this once only rather than for each character past the
11559	  threshold (600).  Change interface of _nc_trans_string() to allow
11560	  check for buffer overflow.
11561	+ correct use of memset in _nc_read_entry_source() to initialize ENTRY
11562	  struct each time before reading new data into it, rather than once
11563	  per loop (cf:  990301).  This affects multi-entry in-core operations
11564	  such as "infocmp -Fa".
11565
1156620000319
11567	+ remove a spurious pointer increment in _nc_infotocap() changes from
11568	  20000311.  Add check for '.' in format of number, since that also
11569	  is not permitted in termcap.
11570	+ correct typo in rxvt-basic terminfo from temporary change made while
11571	  integrating 20000318.
11572
1157320000318
11574	+ revert part of the vt220 change (request by Todd C Miller).
11575	+ add ansi-* terminfo entries from ESR's version.
11576	+ add -a option to tic and infocmp, which retains commented-out
11577	  capabilities during source translation/comparison, e.g., captoinfo
11578	  and infotocap.
11579	+ modify cardfile.c to display an empty card if no input data file is
11580	  found, fixes a core dump in that case (reported by Bruno Haible).
11581	+ correct bracketing in CF_MATH_LIB configure macro, which gave wrong
11582	  result for OS/2 EMX.
11583	+ supply required parameter for _nc_resolve_uses() call in
11584	  read_termcap.c, overlooked in 20000311 (reported by Todd C Miller).
11585	> patches by Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>:
11586	+ fix a compiler warning in fty_enum.c
11587	+ correct LIB_PREFIX expression for DEPS_CURSES in progs, tack
11588	  makefiles, which resulted in redundant linking (cf: 20000122).
11589
1159020000311
11591	+ make ifdef's for BROKEN_LINKER consistent (patch by Todd C Miller).
11592	+ improved tack/README (patch by Daniel Weaver).
11593	+ modify tput.c to ensure that unspecified parameters are passed to
11594	  tparm() as 0's.
11595	+ add a few checks in infocmp to guard against buffer overflow when
11596	  displaying string capabilities.
11597	+ add check for zero-uses in infocmp's file_comparison() function
11598	  before calling _nc_align_termtype().  Otherwise one parameter is
11599	  indexed past the end of the uses-array.
11600	+ add an option -q to infocmp to specify the less verbose output,
11601	  keeping the existing format as the default, though not retaining the
11602	  previous behavior that made the -F option compare each entry to
11603	  itself.
11604	+ adapted patch by ESR to make infocmp -F less verbose -TD
11605	  (the submitted patch was unusable because it did not compile
11606	  properly)
11607	  + modify write_entry.c to ensure that absent or cancelled booleans
11608	    are written as FALSE, for consistency with infocmp which now
11609	    assumes this.  Note that for the small-core configuration, tic
11610	    may not produce the same result as before.
11611	  + change some private library interfaces used by infocmp, e.g.,
11612	    _nc_resolve_uses().
11613	  + add a check in _nc_infotocap() to ensure that cm-style capabilities
11614	    accept only %d codes when converting the format from terminfo to
11615	    termcap.
11616	  + modify ENTRY struct to separate the data in 'parent' into the name
11617	    and link values (the original idea to merge both into 'parent' was
11618	    not good).
11619	  + discard repair_acsc(tterm);
11620	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
11621	+ drop support for gnat 3.10
11622	+ move generated documentation and html files under ./doc directory,
11623	  adding makefile rules for this to dist.mk
11624
1162520000304
11626	+ correct conflicting use of tparm() in 20000226 change to tic, which
11627	  made it check only one entry at a time.
11628	+ fix errors in ncurses-intro.html and hackguide.html shown by Dave
11629	  Raggett's tidy.
11630	+ make the example in ncurses-intro.html do something plausible, and
11631	  corrected misleading comment (reported by Neil Zanella).
11632	+ modify pnoutrefresh() to set newscr->_leaveok as wnoutrefresh() does,
11633	  to fix a case where the cursor position was not updated as in
11634	  Solaris  (patch by David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>).
11635	+ add a limit-check for wresize() to ensure that a subwindow does not
11636	  address out of bounds.
11637	+ correct offsets used for subwindows in wresize() (patch by Michael
11638	  Andres <ma@suse.de>).
11639	+ regenerate html'ized manual pages with man2html 3.0.1 (patch by
11640	  Juergen Pfeifer).  This generated a file with a space in its name,
11641	  which I removed.
11642	+ fix a few spelling errors in tack.
11643	+ modify tack/Makefile.in to match linker options of progs/Makefile.in;
11644	  otherwise it does not build properly for older HPUX shared library
11645	  configurations.
11646	+ add several terminfo entries from esr's "11.0".
11647
1164820000226
11649	+ make 'tput flash' work properly for xterm by flushing output in
11650	  delay_output() when using napms(), and modifying xterm's terminfo to
11651	  specify no padding character.  Otherwise, xterm's reported baud rate
11652	  can mislead ncurses into producing too few padding characters
11653	  (Debian #58530).
11654	+ add a check to tic for consistency between sgr and the separate
11655	  capabilities such as smso, use this to check/correct several
11656	  terminfo entries (Debian #58530).
11657	+ add a check to tic if cvvis is the same as cnorm, adjusted several
11658	  terminfo entries to remove the conflict (Debian #58530).
11659	+ correct prototype shown in attr_set()/wattr_set() manpages (fixes
11660	  Debian #53962).
11661	+ minor clarification for curs_set() and leaveok() manpages.
11662	+ use mkstemp() for creating temporary file for tic's processing of
11663	  $TERMCAP contents (fixes Debian #56465).
11664	+ correct two errors from integrating Alexander's changes:  did not
11665	  handle the non-bce case properly in can_erase_with() (noted by
11666	  Alexander), and left fg/bg uninitialized in the pair-zero case of
11667	  _nc_do_color() (reported by Dr Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> and
11668	  Ismael Cordeiro <ismael@cordeiro.com>).
11669
1167020000219
11671	+ store default-color code consistently as C_MASK, even if given as
11672	  -1 for convenience (adapted from patches by Alexander V Lukyanov).
11673	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
11674	+ change can_clear_with() macro to accommodate logic for
11675	  assume_default_colors(), making most of the FILL_BCE logic
11676	  unnecessary.  Made can_clear_with() an inline function to make it
11677	  simpler to read.
11678
1167920000212
11680	+ corrected form of recent copyright dates.
11681	+ minor corrections to xterm-xf86-v333 terminfo entry -TD
11682	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
11683	+ reworded dft_fgbg.3x to avoid assuming that the terminal's default
11684	  colors are white on black.
11685	+ fix initialization of tstLine so that it is filled with current blank
11686	  character in any case.  Previously it was possible to have it filled
11687	  with old blank.  The wrong over-optimization was introduced in 991002
11688	  patch.  (it is not very critical as the only bad effect is not using
11689	  clr_eos for clearing if blank has changed).
11690
1169120000205
11692	+ minor corrections/updates to several terminfo entries: rxvt-basic,
11693	  vt520, vt525, ibm5151, xterm-xf86-v40 -TD
11694	+ modify ifdef's for poll() to allow it to use <sys/poll.h>, thereby
11695	  allowing poll() to be used on Linux.
11696	+ add CF_FUNC_POLL macro to check if poll() is able to select from
11697	  standard input.  If not we will not use it, preferring select()
11698	  (adapted from patch by Michael Pakovic <mpakovic@fdn.com>).
11699	+ update CF_SHARED_OPTS macro for SCO Unixware 7.1 to allow building
11700	  shared libraries (reported/tested by Thanh <thanhma@mediaone.net>).
11701	+ override $LANGUAGE in build to avoid incorrect ordering of keynames.
11702	+ correct CF_MATH_LIB parameter, must be sin(x), not sqrt(x).
11703
1170420000122
11705	+ resync CF_CHECK_ERRNO and CF_LIB_PREFIX macros from tin and xterm -TD
11706	+ modify CF_MATH_LIB configure macro to parameterize the test function
11707	  used, for reuse in dialog and similar packages.
11708	+ correct tests for file-descriptors in OS/2 EMX mouse support.  A
11709	  negative value could be used by FD_SET, causing the select() call
11710	  to wait indefinitely.
11711
1171220000115
11713	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of delete_character)
11714	  to work when assume_default_colors() is not specified.
11715	+ modify warning message from _nc_parse_entry() regarding extended
11716	  capability names to print only if tic/infocmp/toe have the -v flag
11717	  set, and not at all in ordinary user applications.  Otherwise, this
11718	  warning would be shown for screen's extended capabilities in programs
11719	  that use the termcap interface (reported by Todd C Miller).
11720	+ modify use of _nc_tracing from programs such as tic so their debug
11721	  level is not in the same range as values set by trace() function.
11722	+ small panel header cleanup (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11723	+ add 'railroad' demo for termcap interface.
11724	+ modify 'tic' to write its usage message to stderr (patch by Todd C
11725	  Miller).
11726
1172720000108
11728	+ add prototype for erase() to curses.h.in, needed to make test
11729	  programs build with c++/g++.
11730	+ add .c.i and .c.h suffix rules to generated makefiles, for debugging.
11731	+ correct install rule for tack.1; it assumed that file was in the
11732	  current directory (reported by Mike Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com>).
11733	+ modify terminfo/termcap translation to suppress acsc before trying
11734	  sgr if the entry would be too large (patch by Todd C Miller).
11735	+ document a special case of incompatibility between ncurses 4.2 and
11736	  5.0, add a section for this in INSTALL.
11737	+ add TRACE_DATABASE flag for trace().
11738
1173920000101
11740	+ update mach, add mach-color terminfo entries based on Debian diffs
11741	  for ncurses 5.0 -TD
11742	+ add entries for xterm-hp, xterm-vt220, xterm-vt52 and xterm-noapp
11743	  terminfo entries -TD
11744	+ change OTrs capabilities to rs2 in terminfo.src -TD
11745	+ add obsolete and extended capabilities to 'screen' terminfo -TD
11746	+ corrected conversion from terminfo rs2 to termcap rs (cf: 980704)
11747	+ make conversion to termcap ug (underline glitch) more consistently
11748	  applied.
11749	+ fix out-of-scope use of 'personal[]' buffer in 'toe' (this error
11750	  was in the original pre-1.9.7 version, when $HOME/.terminfo was
11751	  introduced).
11752	+ modify 'toe' to ignore terminfo directories to which it has no
11753	  permissions.
11754	+ modify read_termtype(), fixing 'toe', which could dump core when it
11755	  found an incomplete entry such as "dumb" because it did not
11756	  initialize its buffer for _nc_read_file_entry().
11757	+ use -fPIC rather than -fpic for shared libraries on Linux, not
11758	  needed for i386 but some ports (from Debian diffs for 5.0) -TD
11759	+ use explicit VALID_NUMERIC() checks in a few places that had been
11760	  overlooked, and add a check to ensure that init_tabs is nonzero,
11761	  to avoid divide-by-zero (reported by Todd C Miller).
11762	+ minor fix for CF_ANSI_CC_CHECK configure macro, for HPUX 10.x (from
11763	  tin) -TD
11764
1176519991218
11766	+ reorder tests during mouse initialization to allow for gpm to run in
11767	  xterm, or for xterm to be used under OS/2 EMX.  Also drop test for
11768	  $DISPLAY in favor of kmous=\E[M or $TERM containing "xterm" (report
11769	  by Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>).
11770	+ modify raw() and noraw() to clear/restore IEXTEN flag which affects
11771	  stty lnext on systems such as FreeBSD (report by Bruce Evans
11772	  <bde@zeta.org.au>, via Jason Evans <jasone@canonware.com>).
11773	+ fix a potential (but unlikely) buffer overflow in failed() function
11774	  of tset.c (reported by Todd C Miller).
11775	+ add manual-page for ncurses extensions, documented curses_version(),
11776	  use_extended_names().
11777
1177819991211
11779	+ treat as untranslatable to termcap those terminfo strings which
11780	  contain non-decimal formatting, e.g., hexadecimal or octal.
11781	+ correct commented-out capabilities that cannot be translated to
11782	  termcap, which did not check if a colon must be escaped.
11783	+ correct termcap translation for "%>" and "%+", which did not check
11784	  if a colon must be escaped, for instance.
11785	+ use save_string/save_char for _nc_captoinfo() to eliminate fixed
11786	  buffer (originally for _nc_infotocap() in 960301 -TD).
11787	+ correct expression used for terminfo equivalent of termcap %B,
11788	  adjust regent100 entry which uses this.
11789	+ some cleanup and commenting of ad hoc cases in _nc_infotocap().
11790	+ eliminate a fixed-buffer in tic, used for translating comments.
11791	+ add manpage for infotocap
11792
1179319991204
11794	+ add kvt and gnome terminfo entries -TD
11795	+ correct translation of "%%" by infotocap, which was emitted as "%".
11796	+ add "obsolete" termcap strings to terminfo.src
11797	+ modify infocmp to default to showing obsolete capabilities rather
11798	  than terminfo only.
11799	+ modify write_entry.c so that if extended names (i.e., configure
11800	  --enable-tcap-names) are active, then tic will also write "obsolete"
11801	  capabilities that are present in the terminfo source.
11802	+ modify tic so that when running as captoinfo or infotocap, it
11803	  initializes the output format as in -C and -I options, respectively.
11804	+ improve infocmp and tic -f option by splitting long strings that do
11805	  not have if-then-else construct, but do have parameters, e.g., the
11806	  initc for xterm-88color.
11807	+ refine MKtermsort.sh slightly by using bool for the *_from_termcap
11808	  arrays.
11809
1181019991127
11811	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of clear_screen,
11812	  clr_eol, clr_eos, scrolling) to work when assume_default_colors() is
11813	  not specified.
11814	+ several small changes to xterm terminfo entries -TD.
11815	+ move logic for _nc_windows in lib_freeall.c inside check for nonnull
11816	  SP, since it is part of that struct.
11817	+ remove obsolete shlib-versions, which was unintentionally re-added
11818	  in 970927.
11819	+ modify infocmp -e, -E options to ensure that generated fallback.c
11820	  type for Booleans agrees with term.h (reported by Eric Norum
11821	  <eric@cls.usask.ca>).
11822	+ correct configure script's use of $LIB_PREFIX, which did not work
11823	  for installing the c++ directory if $libdir did not end with "/lib"
11824	  (reported by Huy Le <huyle@ugcs.caltech.edu>).
11825	+ modify infocmp so -L and -f options work together.
11826	+ modify the initialization of SP->_color_table[] in start_color() so
11827	  that color_content() will return usable values for COLORS greater
11828	  than 8.
11829	+ modify ncurses 'd' test in case COLORS is greater than 16, e.g., for
11830	  xterm-88color, to limit the displayed/computed colors to 16.
11831	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
11832	+ simplify coding of the panel library according to suggestions by
11833	  Philippe Blain.
11834	+ improve macro coding for a few macros in curses.priv.h
11835
1183619991113
11837	+ modify treatment of color pair 0 so that if ncurses is configured
11838	  to support default colors, and they are not active, then ncurses
11839	  will set that explicitly, not relying on orig_colors or orig_pair.
11840	+ add new extension, assume_default_colors() to provide better control
11841	  over the use of default colors.
11842	+ modify test programs to use more-specific ifdef's for existence of
11843	  wresize(), resizeterm() and use_default_colors().
11844	+ modify configure script to add specific ifdef's for some functions
11845	  that are included when --enable-ext-funcs is in effect, so their
11846	  existence can be ifdef'd in the test programs.
11847	+ reorder some configure options, moving those extensions that have
11848	  evolved from experimental status into a new section.
11849	+ change configure --enable-tcap-names to enable this by default.
11850
1185119991106
11852	+ install tack's manpage (reported by Robert Weiner
11853	  <robert@progplus.com>)
11854	+ correct worm.c's handling of KEY_RESIZE (patch by Frank Heckenbach).
11855	+ modify curses.h.in, undef'ing some symbols to avoid conflict with C++
11856	  STL (reported by Matt Gerassimoff <mgeras@ticon.net>)
11857
1185819991030
11859	+ modify linux terminfo entry to indicate that dim does not mix with
11860	  color (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@enteract.com>).
11861	+ correct several typos in terminfo entries related to missing '['
11862	  in CSI's -TD
11863	+ fix several compiler warnings in c++ binding (reported by Tim
11864	  Mooney for alphaev56-dec-osf4.0f
11865	+ rename parameter of _nc_free_entries() to accommodate lint.
11866	+ correct lint rule for tack, used incorrect list of source files.
11867	+ add case to config.guess, config.sub for Rhapsody.
11868	+ improve configure tests for libg++ and libstdc++ by omitting the
11869	  math library (which is missing on Rhapsody), and improved test for
11870	  the math library itself (adapted from path by Nelson H. F. Beebe).
11871	+ explicitly initialize to zero several data items which were
11872	  implicitly initialized, e.g., cur_term.  If not explicitly
11873	  initialized, their storage type is C (common), and causes problems
11874	  linking on Rhapsody 5.5 using gcc 2.7.2.1 (reported by Nelson H. F.
11875	  Beebe).
11876	+ modify Ada95 binding to not include the linker option for Ada
11877	  bindings in the Ada headers, but in the Makefiles instead (patch by
11878	  Juergen Pfeifer).
11879
1188019991023 5.0 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
11881	+ effective with release of 5.0, change NCURSES_VERSION_PATCH to
11882	  4-digit year.
11883	+ add function curses_version(), to return ncurses library version
11884	  (request by Bob van der Poel).
11885	+ remove rmam, smam from cygwin terminfo entry.
11886	+ modify FreeBSD cons25 terminfo entry to add cnorm and cvvis, as well
11887	  as update ncv to indicate that 'dim' conflicts with colors.
11888	+ modify configure script to use symbolic links for FreeBSD shared
11889	  libraries by default.
11890	+ correct ranf() function in rain and worm programs to ensure it does
11891	  not return 1.0
11892	+ hide the cursor in hanoi.c if it is running automatically.
11893	+ amend lrtest.c to account for optimizations that exploit margin
11894	  wrapping.
11895	+ add a simple terminfo demo, dots.c
11896	+ modify SIGINT/SIGQUIT handler to set a flag used in _nc_outch() to
11897	  tell it to use write() rather than putc(), since the latter is not
11898	  safe in a signal handler according to POSIX.
11899	+ add/use internal macros _nc_flush() and NC_OUTPUT to hide details
11900	  of output-file pointer in ncurses library.
11901	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS (see 971115), since they are needed for SCO
11902	  OpenServer.
11903	+ correct CC_SHARED_OPTS for building shared libraries for SCO
11904	  OpenServer.
11905	+ remove usleep() from alternatives in napms(), since it may interact
11906	  with alarm(), causing a process to be interrupted by SIGALRM (with
11907	  advice from Bela Lubkin).
11908	+ modify terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4 to build/work with
11909	  GNAT 3.10 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11910	+ remove part of CF_GPP_LIBRARY configure-script macro, which did not
11911	  work with gcc 2.7.2.3
11912	+ minor fix to test/tclock.c to avoid beeping more than once per second
11913	+ add 's' and ' ' decoding to test/rain.c
11914
11915991016	pre-release
11916	+ corrected BeOS code for lib_twait.c, making nodelay() function work.
11917
11918991009	pre-release
11919	+ correct ncurses' value for cursor-column in PutCharLR(), which was
11920	  off-by-one in one case (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
11921	+ fix some minor errors in position_check() debugging code, found while
11922	  using this to validate the PutCharLR() patch.
11923	+ modify firework, lrtest, worm examples to be resizable, and to
11924	  recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' ' for resume.
11925	+ restore reverted change to  terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
11926	  add a note on building with gnat 3.10p to Ada95/TODO.
11927	+ add a copy of the standalone configure script for the test-directory
11928	  to simplify testing on SCO and Solaris.
11929
11930991002	pre-release
11931	+ minor fixes for _nc_msec_cost(), color_content(), pair_content(),
11932	  _nc_freewin(), ClrBottom() and onscreen_mvcur() (analysis by Philippe
11933	  Blain, comments by Alexander V Lukyanov).
11934	+ simplify definition of PANEL and eliminate internal functions
11935	  _nc_calculate_obscure(), _nc_free_obscure() and _nc_override(),
11936	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, analysis by Philippe Blain
11937	  <bledp@voila.fr>)).
11938	+ change renaming of dft_fgbg.3x to use_default_colors.3ncurses in
11939	  man_db.renames, since Debian is not concerned with 14-character
11940	  filename limitation (Debian bug report by Josip Rodin
11941	  <joy@cibalia.gkvk.hr>).
11942	+ corrected scoansi terminfo entry by testing with scoterm and console.
11943	+ revert change from 990614 to terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
11944	  since this does not work for gnat 3.10p
11945	+ modify tclock example to be resizable (if ncurses' sigwinch handler
11946	  is used), and in color.
11947	+ use $(CC) rather than 'gcc' in MK_SHARED_LIB symbols, used for Linux
11948	  shared library rules.
11949
11950990925	pre-release
11951	+ add newer NetBSD console terminfo entries
11952	+ add amiga-8bit terminfo entry (from Henning 'Faroul' Peters
11953	  <Faroul@beyond.kn-bremen.de>)
11954	+ remove -lcurses -ltermcap from configure script's check for the gpm
11955	  library, since they are not really necessary (a properly configured
11956	  gpm library has no dependency on any curses library), and if the
11957	  curses library is not installed, this would cause the test to fail.
11958	+ modify tic's -C option so that terminfo "use=" clauses are translated
11959	  to "tc=" clauses even when running it as captoinfo.
11960	+ modify CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY configure macro to perform its check only
11961	  for GNU C++, since that library conflicts with SGI's libC on IRIX-6.2
11962	+ modify CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro to support build on NetBSD with
11963	  ELF libraries (patch by Bernd Ernesti <bernd@arresum.inka.de>).
11964	+ correct a problem in libpanel, where the _nc_top_panel variable was
11965	  not set properly when bottom_panel() is called to hide a panel which
11966	  is the only one on the stack (report/analysis by Michael Andres
11967	  <ma@suse.de>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11968
11969990918	pre-release
11970	+ add acsc string to HP 70092 terminfo entry (patch by Joerg Wunsch
11971	  <j@interface-business.de>).
11972	+ add top-level uninstall.data and uninstall.man makefile rules.
11973	+ correct logic of CF_LINK_FUNCS configure script, from BeOS changes so
11974	  that hard-links work on Unix again.
11975	+ change default value of cf_cv_builtin_bool to 1 (suggested by
11976	  Jeremy Buhler), making it less likely that a conflicting declaration
11977	  of bool will be seen when compiling with C++.
11978
11979990911	pre-release
11980	+ improved configure checks for builtin.h
11981	+ minor changes to C++ binding (remove static initializations, and make
11982	  configure-test for parameter initializations) for features not
11983	  allowed by vendor's C++ compilers (reported by Martin Mokrejs, this
11984	  applies to SGI, though I found SCO has the same characteristics).
11985	+ corrected quoting of ETIP_xxx definitions which support old versions
11986	  of g++, e.g., those using -lg++
11987	+ remove 'L' code from safe_sprintf.c, since 'long double' is not
11988	  widely portable.  safe_sprintf.c is experimental, however, and
11989	  exists mainly as a fallback for systems without snprintf (reported
11990	  by Martin Mokrejs <mmokrejs@natur.cuni.cz>, for IRIX 6.2)
11991	+ modify definition of _nc_tinfo_fkeys in broken-linker configuration
11992	  so that it is not unnecessarily made extern (Jeffrey C Honig).
11993
11994990904	pre-release
11995	+ move definition for builtin.h in configure tests to specific check
11996	  for libg++, since qt uses the same filename incompatibly.
11997	+ correct logic of lib_termcap.c tgetstr function, which did not copy
11998	  the result to the buffer parameter.  Testing shows Solaris does
11999	  update this, though of course tgetent's buffer is untouched (reported
12000	  in Peter Edwards <peter.edwards@ireland.com> in
12001	  mpc.lists.freebsd.current newsgroup.
12002	+ corrected beterm terminfo entry, which lists some capabilities which
12003	  are not actually provided by the BeOS Terminal.
12004	+ add special logic to replace select() calls on BeOS, whose select()
12005	  function works only for sockets.
12006	+ correct missing escape in mkterm.h.awk.in, which caused part
12007	  of the copyright noticed to be omitted (reported by Peter
12008	  Wemm <peter@netplex.com.au>).
12009	> several small changes to make the c++ binding and demo work on OS/2
12010	  EMX (related to a clean reinstall of EMX):
12011	+ correct library-prefix for c++ binding; none is needed.
12012	+ add $x suffix to make_hash and make_keys so 'make distclean' works.
12013	+ correct missing $x suffix for tack, c++ demo executables.
12014	+ split CF_CXX_LIBRARY into CF_GPP_LIBRARY (for -lg++) and
12015	  CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY (for -lstdc++)
12016
12017990828	pre-release
12018	+ add cygwin terminfo entry -TD
12019	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT configure macro to set .exe extension for cygwin.
12020	+ add configure option --without-cxx-binding, modifying the existing
12021	  --without-cxx option to check only for the C++ compiler
12022	  characteristics.  Whether or not the C++ binding is needed, the
12023	  configure script checks for the size/type of bool, to make ncurses
12024	  match.  Otherwise C++ applications cannot use ncurses.
12025
12026990821	pre-release
12027	+ updated configure macros CF_MAKEFLAGS, CF_CHECK_ERRNO
12028	+ minor corrections to beterm terminfo entry.
12029	+ modify lib_setup.c to reject values of $TERM which have a '/' in
12030	  them.
12031	+ add ifdef's to guard against CS5, CS6, CS7, CS8 being zero, as more
12032	  than one is on BeOS.  That would break a switch statement.
12033	+ add configure macro CF_LINK_FUNCS to detect and work around BeOS's
12034	  nonfunctional link().
12035	+ improved configure macros CF_BOOL_DECL and CF_BOOL_SIZE to detect
12036	  BeOS's bool, which is declared as an unsigned char.
12037
12038990814	pre-release
12039	+ add ms-vt100 terminfo entry -TD
12040	+ minor fixes for misc/emx.src, based on testing with tack.
12041	+ minor fix for test/ncurses.c, test 'a', in case ncv is not set.
12042
12043990731	pre-release
12044	+ minor correction for 'screen' terminfo entry.
12045	+ clarify description of errret values for setupterm in manpage.
12046	+ modify tput to allow it to emit capabilities for hardcopy terminals
12047	  (patch by Goran Uddeborg <goeran@uddeborg.pp.se>).
12048	+ modify the 'o' (panel) test in ncurses.c to show the panels in color
12049	  or at least in bold, to test Juergen's change to wrefresh().
12050	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
12051	+ Fixes a problem using wbkgdset() with panels.  It has actually
12052	  nothing to with panels but is a problem in the implementation of
12053	  wrefresh().  Whenever a window changes its background attribute to
12054	  something different than newscr's background attribute, the whole
12055	  window is touched to force a copy to newscr.  This is an unwanted
12056	  side-effect of wrefresh() and it is actually not necessary.  A
12057	  changed background attribute affects only further outputs of
12058	  background it doesn't mean anything to the current content of the
12059	  window.  So there is no need to force a copy.  (reported by Frank
12060	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>).
12061	+ an upward compatible enhancement of the NCursesPad class in the C++
12062	  binding.  It allows one to add a "viewport" window to a pad and then
12063	  to use panning to view the pad through the viewport window.
12064
12065990724	pre-release
12066	+ suppress a call to def_prog_mode() in the SIGTSTP handler if the
12067	  signal was received while not in curses mode, e.g., endwin() was
12068	  called in preparation for spawning a shell command (reported by Frank
12069	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
12070	+ corrected/enhanced xterm-r5, xterm+sl, xterm+sl-twm terminfo entries.
12071	+ change test for xterm mouse capability:  it now checks only if the
12072	  user's $DISPLAY variable is set in conjunction with the kmous
12073	  capability being present in the terminfo.  Before, it checked if any
12074	  of "xterm", "rxvt" or "kterm" were substrings of the terminal name.
12075	  However, some emulators which are incompatible with xterm in other
12076	  ways do support the xterm mouse capability.
12077	+ reviewed and made minor changes in ncurses to quiet g++ warnings
12078	  about shadowed or uninitialized variables.  g++ incorrectly warns
12079	  about uninitialized variables because it does not take into account
12080	  short-circuit expression evaluation.
12081	+ change ncurses 'b' test to start in color pair 0 and to show in the
12082	  right margin those attributes which are suppressed by no_color_video,
12083	  i.e., "(NCV)".
12084	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h so that __attribute__ is not redefined
12085	  when compiling with g++, but instead disabled the macros derived for
12086	  __attribute__ since g++ does not consistently recognize the same
12087	  keywords as gcc (reported by Stephan K Zitz <zitz@erf.net>).
12088	+ update dependencies for term.h in ncurses/modules (reported by
12089	  Ilya Zakharevich).
12090
12091990710	pre-release
12092	+ modify the form demo in ncurses.c to illustrate how to manipulate the
12093	  field appearance, e.g, for highlighting or translating the field
12094	  contents.
12095	+ correct logic in write_entry from split-out of home_terminfo in
12096	  980919, which prevented update of $HOME/.terminfo (reported by Philip
12097	  Spencer <pspencer@fields.utoronto.ca>).
12098
12099990703	pre-release
12100	+ modify linux terminfo description to make use of kernel 2.2.x mods
12101	  that support cursor style, e.g., to implement cvvis (patch by Frank
12102	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
12103	+ add special-case in setupterm to retain previously-saved terminal
12104	  settings in cur_term, which happens when curses and termcap calls are
12105	  mixed (from report by Bjorn Helgaas <helgaas@dhc.net>).
12106	+ suppress initialization of key-tries in _nc_keypad() if we are only
12107	  disabling keypad mode, e.g., in endwin() called when keypad() was
12108	  not.
12109	+ modify the Ada95 makefile to ensure that always the Ada files from
12110	  the development tree are used for building and not the eventually
12111	  installed ones (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12112
12113990626	pre-release
12114	+ use TTY definition in tack/sysdep.c rather than struct termios
12115	  (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
12116	+ add a fallback for strstr, used in lib_mvcur.c and tack/edit.c,
12117	  not present on sysV68 (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
12118	+ correct definition in comp_hash.c to build with configure
12119	  --with-rcs-ids option.
12120
12121990619	pre-release
12122	+ modified ifdef's for sigaction and sigvec to ensure we do not try to
12123	  handle SIGTSTP if neither is available (from report by Philippe De
12124	  Muyter).
12125	> patch by Philippe De Muyter:
12126	+ in tic.c, use `unlink' if `remove' is not available.
12127	+ use only `unsigned' as fallback value for `speed_t'.  Some files used
12128	  `short' instead.
12129
12130990616	pre-release
12131	+ fix some compiler warnings in tack.
12132	+ add a check for predefined bool type in CC, based on report that
12133	  BeOS predefines a bool type.
12134	+ correct logic for infocmp -e option, i.e., the configure
12135	  --with-fallbacks option, which I'd not updated when implementing
12136	  extended names (cf:  990301).  The new implementation adds a "-E"
12137	  option to infocmp -TD
12138	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12139	+ introduce the private type Curses_Bool in the Ada95 binding
12140	  implementation.  This is to clearly represent the use of "bool" also
12141	  in the binding.  It should have no effect on the generated code.
12142	+ improve the man page for field_buffer() to tell the people, that the
12143	  whole buffer including leading/trailing spaces is returned.  This is
12144	  a common source of confusion, so it's better to document it clearly.
12145
12146990614	pre-release
12147	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12148	+ use pragma PreElaborate in several places.
12149	+ change a few System.Address uses to more specific types.
12150	+ change interface version-number to 1.0
12151	+ regenerate Ada95 HTML files.
12152
12153990612	pre-release
12154	+ modify lib_endwin.c to avoid calling reset_shell_mode(), return ERR
12155	  if it appears that curses was never initialized, e.g., by initscr().
12156	  For instance, this guards against setting the terminal modes to
12157	  strange values if endwin() is called after setupterm().  In the same
12158	  context, Solaris curses will dump core.
12159	+ modify logic that avoids a conflict in lib_vidattr.c between sgr0 and
12160	  equivalent values in rmso or rmul by ensuring we do not modify the
12161	  data which would be returned by the terminfo or termcap interfaces
12162	  (reported by Brad Pepers <brad@linuxcanada.com>, cf:  960706).
12163	+ add a null-pointer check for SP in lib_vidattr.c to logic that checks
12164	  for magic cookies.
12165	+ improve fallback declaration of 'bool' when the --without-cxx option
12166	  is given, by using a 'char' on i386 and related hosts (prompted by
12167	  discussion with Alexander V Lukyanov).
12168
12169990605	pre-release
12170	+ include time.h in lib_napms.c if nanosleep is used (patch by
12171	  R Lindsay Todd <toddr@rpi.edu>).
12172	+ add an "#undef bool" to curses.h, in case someone tries to define it,
12173	  e.g., perl.
12174	+ add check to tparm to guard against divide by zero (reported by Aaron
12175	  Campbell <aaron@ug.cs.dal.ca>).
12176
12177990516	pre-release
12178	+ minor fix to build tack on CLIX (mismatched const).
12179	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12180	+ change Juergen's old email address with new one in the files where it
12181	  is referenced.  The Ada95 HTML pages are regenerated.
12182	+ update MANIFEST to list the tack files.
12183
12184990509	pre-release
12185	+ minor fixes to make 'tack' build/link on NeXT (reported by Francisco
12186	  A. Tomei Torres).
12187
12188990417	pre-release
12189	+ add 'tack' program (which is GPL'd), updating it to work with the
12190	  modified TERMTYPE struct and making a fix to support setaf/setab
12191	  capabilities.  Note that the tack program is not part of the
12192	  ncurses libraries, but an application which can be distributed with
12193	  ncurses.  The configure script will ignore the directory if it is
12194	  omitted, however.
12195	+ modify gpm mouse support so that buttons 2 and 3 are used for
12196	  select/paste only when shift key is pressed, making them available
12197	  for use by an application (patch by Klaus Weide).
12198	+ add complete list of function keys to scoansi terminfo entry - TD
12199
12200990410	pre-release
12201	+ add a simple test program cardfile.c to illustrate how to read form
12202	  fields, and showing forms within panels.
12203	+ change shared-library versioning for the Hurd to be like Linux rather
12204	  than *BSD (patch by Mark Kettenis <kettenis@wins.uva.nl>).
12205	+ add linux-lat terminfo entry.
12206	+ back-out _nc_access check in read_termcap.c (both incorrect and
12207	  unnecessary, except to guard against a small window where the file's
12208	  ownership may change).
12209
12210990403	pre-release
12211	+ remove conflicting _nc_free_termtype() function from test module
12212	  lib_freeall.c
12213	+ use _nc_access check in read_termcap.c for termpaths[] array (noted
12214	  by Jeremy Buhler, indicating that Alan Cox made a similar patch).
12215	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12216	+ modify menu creation to not inherit status flag from the default menu
12217	  which says that the associated marker string has been allocated and
12218	  should be freed (bug reported by Marek Paliwoda"
12219	  <paliwoda@kki.net.pl>)
12220
12221990327	pre-release (alpha.gnu.org:/gnu/ncurses-5.0-beta1.tar.gz)
12222	+ minor fixes to xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry - TD.
12223	+ split up an expression in configure script check for ldconfig to
12224	  workaround limitation of BSD/OS sh (reported by Jeff Haas
12225	  <jmh@mail.msen.com>).
12226	+ correct a typo in man/form_hook.3x (Todd C Miller).
12227
12228990318	pre-release
12229	+ parenthesize and undef 'index' symbol in c++ binding and demo, to
12230	  accommodate its definition on NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei
12231	  Torres).
12232	+ add sigismember() to base/sigaction.c compatibility to link on NeXT
12233	  (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
12234	+ further refinements to inequality in hashmap.c to cover a case with
12235	  ^U in nvi (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12236
12237990316	pre-release
12238	+ add fallback definition for getcwd, to link on NeXT.
12239	+ add a copy of cur_term to tic.c to make it link properly on NeXT
12240	  (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
12241	+ change inequality in hashmap.c which checks the distance traveled by
12242	  a chunk so that ^D command in nvi (scrolls 1/2 screen) will use
12243	  scrolling logic (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov, reported by Jeffrey
12244	  C Honig).
12245
12246990314	pre-release
12247	+ modify lib_color.c to handle a special case where the curscr
12248	  attributes have been made obsolete (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12249	+ update BSD/OS console terminfo entries to use klone+sgr and
12250	  klone+color (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
12251	+ update glibc addon configure script for extended capabilities.
12252	+ correct a couple of warnings in the --enable-const configuration.
12253	+ make comp_hash build properly with _nc_strdup(), on NeXT (reported by
12254	  Francisco A. Tomei Torres <francisco.tomei@cwix.com>).
12255
12256990313	pre-release
12257	+ correct typos in linux-c initc string - TD
12258	+ add 'crt' terminfo entry, update xterm-xfree86 entry - TD
12259	+ remove a spurious argument to tparm() in lib_sklrefr.c (patch by
12260	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
12261
12262990307	pre-release
12263	+ back-out change to wgetch because it causes a problem with ^Z
12264	  handling in lynx (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
12265
12266990306	pre-release
12267	+ add -G option to tic and infocmp, to reverse the "-g" option.
12268	+ recode functions in name_match.c to avoid use of strncpy, which
12269	  caused a 4-fold slowdown in tic (cf: 980530).
12270	+ correct a few warnings about sign-extension in recent changes.
12271	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12272	+ fixes suggested by Jeff Bradbury <jibradbury@lucent.com>:
12273	  + improved parameter checking in new_fieldtype().
12274	  + fixed a typo in wgetch() timeout handling.
12275	  + allow slk_init() to be called per newterm call.  The internal SLK
12276	    state is stored in the SCREEN struct after every newterm() and then
12277	    reset for the next newterm.
12278	  + fix the problem that a slk_refresh() refreshes stdscr if the
12279	    terminal has true SLKs.
12280	+ update HTML documentation for Ada binding.
12281
12282990301	pre-release
12283	+ remove 'bool' casts from definitions of TRUE/FALSE so that statements
12284	  such as "#if TRUE" work.  This was originally done to allow for a C++
12285	  compiler which would warn of implicit conversions between enum and
12286	  int, but is not needed for g++ (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
12287	+ add use_extended_names() function to allow applications to suppress
12288	  read of the extended capabilities.
12289	+ add configure option --enable-tcap-names to support logic which
12290	  allows ncurses' tic to define new (i.e., extended) terminal
12291	  capabilities.  This is activated by the tic -x switch.  The infocmp
12292	  program automatically shows or compares extended capabilities.
12293	  Note:  This changes the Strings and similar arrays in the TERMTYPE
12294	  struct so that applications which manipulate it must be recompiled.
12295	+ use macros typeMalloc, typeCalloc and typeRealloc consistently
12296	  throughout ncurses library.
12297	+ add _nc_strdup() to doalloc.c.
12298	+ modify define_key() to allow multiple strings to be bound to the
12299	  same keycode.
12300	+ correct logic error in _nc_remove_string, from 990220.
12301	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
12302	+ regenerate some of the html documentation
12303	+ minor cleanup in terminal_interface-curses.adb
12304
12305990220	pre-release
12306	+ resolve ambiguity of kend/kll/kslt and khome/kfnd/kich1 strings in
12307	  xterm and ncsa terminfo entries by removing the unneeded ones.  Note
12308	  that some entries will return kend & khome versus kslt and kfnd, for
12309	  PC-style keyboards versus strict vt220 compatibility - TD
12310	+ add function keybound(), which returns the definition associated with
12311	  a given keycode.
12312	+ modify define_key() to undefine the given string when no keycode is
12313	  given.
12314	+ modify keyok() so it works properly if there is more than one string
12315	  defined for a keycode.
12316	+ add check to tic to warn about terminfo descriptions that contain
12317	  more than one key assigned to the same string.  This is shown only if
12318	  the verbose (-v) option is given.  Moved related logic (tic -v) from
12319	  comp_parse.c into the tic program.
12320	+ add/use _nc_trace_tries() to show the function keys that will be
12321	  recognized.
12322	+ rename init_acs to _nc_init_acs (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12323	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
12324	+ remove all the *_adabind.c from ncurses, menu and form projects.
12325	  Those little helper routines have all been implemented in Ada and are
12326	  no longer required.
12327	+ The option handling routines in menu and form have been made more
12328	  save.  They now make sure that the unused bits in options are always
12329	  zero.
12330	+ modify configuration scripts to
12331	  + use gnatmake as default compiler name.  This is a safer choice than
12332	    gcc, because some GNAT implementations use other names for the
12333	    compilerdriver to avoid conflicts.
12334	  + use new default installation locations for the Ada files according
12335	    to the proposed GNU Ada filesystem standard (for Linux).
12336	+ simplify the Makefiles for the Ada binding
12337	+ rename ada_include directory to src.
12338
12339990213
12340	+ enable sigwinch handler by default.
12341	+ disable logic that allows setbuf to be turned off/on, because some
12342	  implementations will overrun the buffer after it has been disabled
12343	  once.
12344
12345990206
12346	+ suppress sc/rc capabilities from terminal description if they appear
12347	  in smcup/rmcup.  This affects only scrolling optimization, to fix a
12348	  problem reported by several people with xterm's alternate screen,
12349	  though the problem is more general.
12350	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
12351	+ removed all pragma Preelaborate() stuff, because the just released
12352	  gnat-3.11p complains on some constructs.
12353	+ fixed some upper/lower case notations because gnat-3.11p found
12354	  inconsistent use.
12355	+ used a new method to generate the HTML documentation of the Ada95
12356	  binding.  This invalidates nearly the whole ./Ada95/html subtree.
12357	  Nearly all current files in this subtree are removed
12358
12359990130
12360	+ cache last result from _nc_baudrate, for performance (suggested by
12361	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
12362	+ modify ClrUpdate() function to workaround a problem in nvi, which
12363	  uses redrawwin in SIGTSTP handling.  Jeffrey C Honig reported that
12364	  ncurses repainted the screen with nulls before resuming normal
12365	  operation (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12366	+ generalize is_xterm() function a little by letting xterm/rxvt/kterm
12367	  be any substring rather than the prefix.
12368	+ modify lib_data.c to initialize SP.  Some linkers, e.g., IBM's, will
12369	  not link a module if the only symbols exported from the module are
12370	  uninitialized ones (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).  Ilya says that he
12371	  has seen messages claiming this behavior conforms to the standard.)
12372	+ move call on _nc_signal_handler past _nc_initscr, to avoid a small
12373	  window where Nttyb hasn't yet been filled (reported by Klaus Weide).
12374	+ modify lib_tstp.c to block SIGTTOU when handling SIGTSTP, fixes a
12375	  problem where ncurses applications which were run via a shell script
12376	  would hang when given a ^Z.  Also, check if the terminal's process
12377	  group is consistent, i.e., a shell has not taken ownership of it,
12378	  before deciding to save the current terminal settings in the SIGTSTP
12379	  handler (patch by Klaus Weide).
12380	+ correct spelling of ACS_ names in curs_border.3x (reported by Bob van
12381	  der Poel <bvdpoel@kootenay.com>).
12382	+ correct a couple of typos in the macros supporting the configure
12383	  --with-shlib-version option.
12384
12385990123
12386	+ modify fty_regex.c to compile on HAVE_REGEXPR_H_FUNCS machine (patch
12387	  by Kimio Ishii <ishii@csl.sony.co.jp>).
12388	+ rename BSDI console terminfo entries:  bsdos to bsdos-pc-nobold, and
12389	  bsdos-bold to bsdos-pc (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
12390	+ modify tput to accept termcap names as an alternative to terminfo
12391	  names (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
12392	+ correct a typo in term.7 (Todd C Miller).
12393	+ add configure --with-shlib-version option to allow installing shared
12394	  libraries named according to release or ABI versions.  This
12395	  parametrizes some existing logic in the configure script, and is
12396	  intended for compatibility upgrades on Digital Unix, which used
12397	  versioned libraries in ncurses 4.2, but no longer does (cf:  980425).
12398	+ resync configure script against autoconf 2.13 + patches
12399	+ minor improvements for teraterm terminfo entry based on the program's
12400	  source distribution.
12401
12402990116
12403	+ change default for configure --enable-big-core to assume machines do
12404	  have enough memory to resolve terminfo.src in-memory.
12405	+ correct name of ncurses library in TEST_ARGS when configuring with
12406	  debug library.
12407	+ minor fixes to compile ncurses library with broken-linker with g++.
12408	+ add --enable-broken-linker configure option, default to environment
12409	  variable $BROKEN_LINKER (request by Jeffrey C Honig).
12410	+ change key_names[] array to static since it is not part of the curses
12411	  interface (reported by Jeffrey C Honig <jch@bsdi.com>).
12412
12413990110
12414	+ add Tera Term terminfo entry - TD
12415
12416990109
12417	+ reviewed/corrected macros in curses.h as per XSI document.
12418	+ provide support for termcap PC variable by copying it from terminfo
12419	  data and using it as the padding character in tputs (reported by
12420	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
12421	+ corrected iris-ansi and iris-ansi-ap terminfo entries for kent and
12422	  kf9-kf12 capabilities, as well as adding kcbt.
12423	+ document the mouse handling mechanism in menu_driver and make a small
12424	  change in menu_driver's return codes to provide more consistency
12425	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12426	+ add fallback definition for NCURSES_CONST to termcap.h.in (reported
12427	  by Uchiyama Yasushi <uch@nop.or.jp>).
12428	+ move lib_restart.c to ncurses/base, since it uses curses functions
12429	  directly, and therefore cannot be used in libtinfo.so
12430	+ rename micro_char_size to micro_col_size, adding #define to retain
12431	  old name.
12432	+ add set_a_attributes and set_pglen_inch to terminfo structure, as per
12433	  XSI and Solaris 2.5.
12434	+ minor makefile files to build ncurses test_progs
12435	+ update html files in misc directory to reflect changes since 4.2
12436
12437990102
12438	+ disable scroll hints when hashmap is enabled (patch by Alexander
12439	  V Lukyanov).
12440	+ move logic for tic's verify of -e option versus -I and -C so that the
12441	  terminfo data is not processed if we cannot handle -e (reported by
12442	  Steven Schwartz <steves@unitrends.com>.
12443	+ add test-driver traces to terminfo and termcap functions.
12444	+ provide support for termcap ospeed variable by copying it from the
12445	  internal cur_term member, and using ospeed as the baudrate reference
12446	  for the delay_output and tputs functions.  If an application does not
12447	  set ospeed, the library behaves as before, except that _nc_timed_wait
12448	  is no longer used, or needed, since ospeed always has a value.  But
12449	  the application can modify ospeed to adjust the output of padding
12450	  characters (prompted by a bug report for screen 3.7.6 and email from
12451	  Michael Schroeder <Michael.Schroeder@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>).
12452	+ removed some unused ifdef's as part of Alexander's restructuring.
12453	+ reviewed/updated curses.h, term.h against X/Open Curses Issue 4
12454	  Version 2.  This includes making some parameters NCURSES_CONST
12455	  rather than const, e.g., in termcap.h.
12456	+ change linux terminfo entry to use ncv#2, since underline does not
12457	  work with color
12458
12459981226
12460	+ miscellaneous corrections for curses.h to match XSI.
12461	+ change --enable-no-padding configure option to be normally enabled.
12462	+ add section to ncurses manpage for environment variables.
12463	+ investigated Debian bug report that pertains to screen 3.7.4/3.7.6
12464	  changes, found no sign of problems on Linux (or on SunOS, Solaris)
12465	  running screen built with ncurses.
12466	+ check if tmp_fp is opened in tic.c before closing it (patch by Pavel
12467	  Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>).
12468	+ correct several font specification typos in man-pages.
12469
12470981220
12471	+ correct default value for BUILD_CC (reported by Larry Virden).
12472
12473981219
12474	+ modify _nc_set_writedir() to set a flag in _nc_tic_dir() to prevent
12475	  it from changing the terminfo directory after chdir'ing to it.
12476	  Otherwise, a relative path in $TERMINFO would confuse tic (prompted
12477	  by a Debian bug report).
12478	+ correct/update ncsa terminfo entry (report by Larry Virden).
12479	+ update xterm-xfree86 terminfo to current (patch 90), smcur/rmcur
12480	  changes
12481	+ add Mathew Vernon's mach console entries to terminfo.src
12482	+ more changes, moving functions, as part of Alexander's restructuring.
12483	+ modify configure script for GNU/Hurd share-library support, introduce
12484	  BUILD_CC variable for cross compiling (patch by Uchiyama Yasushi
12485	  <uch@nop.or.jp>)
12486
12487981212
12488	+ add environment variable NCURSES_NO_SETBUF to allow disabling the
12489	  setbuf feature, for testing purposes.
12490	+ correct ifdef's for termcap.h versus term.h that suppress redundant
12491	  declarations of prototypes (reported by H.J.Lu).
12492	+ modify Makefile.os2 to add linker flags which allow multiple copies
12493	  of an application to coexist (reported by Ilya Zakharevich).
12494	+ update Makefile.glibc and associated configure script so that ncurses
12495	  builds as a glibc add-on with the new directory configuration
12496	  (reported by H.J.Lu).
12497
12498981205
12499	+ modify gen_reps() function in gen.c to work properly on SunOS
12500	  (sparc), which is a left-to-right architecture.
12501	+ modify relative_move and tputs to avoid an interaction with the
12502	  BSD-style padding.  The relative_move function could produce a string
12503	  to replace on the screen which began with a numeric character, which
12504	  was then interpreted by tputs as padding.  Now relative_move will not
12505	  generate a string with a leading digit in that case (overwrite).
12506	  Also, tputs will only interpret padding if the string begins with a
12507	  digit; as coded it permitted a string to begin with a decimal point
12508	  or asterisk (reported by Larry Virden).
12509	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
12510	+ fix a typo in m_driver.c mouse handling and improves the error
12511	  handling.
12512	+ fix broken mouse handling in the Ada95 binding
12513	+ make the Ada95 sample application menus work with the new menu mouse
12514	  support
12515	+ improve the mouse handling introduced by Ilya; it now handles menus
12516	  with spacing.
12517	+ repair a minor bug in the menu_driver code discovered during this
12518	  rework.
12519	+ add new function wmouse_trafo() to hide implementation details of
12520	  _yoffset member of WINDOW struct needed for mouse coordinate
12521	  transformation.
12522
12523981128
12524	+ modify Ada95/gen/gen.c to avoid using return-value of sprintf, since
12525	  some older implementations (e.g., SunOS 4.x) return the buffer
12526	  address rather than its length.
12527	> patch by Rick Ohnemus:
12528	+ modify demo.cc to get it to compile with newer versions of egcs.
12529	+ trim a space that appears at the end of the table preprocessor lines
12530	  ('\" t).  This space prevents some versions of man from displaying
12531	  the pages - changed to remove all trailing whitespace (TD)
12532	+ finally, 'make clean' does not remove panel objects.
12533	> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
12534	+ allow remapping of OS/2 mouse buttons using environment variable
12535	  MOUSE_BUTTONS_123 with the default value 132.
12536	+ add mouse support to ncurses menus.
12537
12538981121
12539	+ modify misc/makedef.cmd to report old-style .def file symbols, and to
12540	  generate the .def files sorted by increasing names rather than the
12541	  reverse.
12542	+ add misc/*.ref which are J.J.G.Ripoll's dll definition files (renamed
12543	  from misc/*.old), and updated based on the entrypoint coding he used
12544	  for an older version of ncurses.
12545	+ add README.emx, to document how to build on OS/2 EMX.
12546	+ updates for config.guess, config.sub from Lynx
12547	> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
12548	+ minor fixes for mouse handling mode:
12549	  a) Do not initialize mouse if the request is to have no mouse;
12550	  b) Allow switching of OS/2 VIO mouse on and off.
12551	+ modify Makefile.os2 to support alternative means of generating
12552	  configure script, by translating Unix script with Perl.
12553	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
12554	+ Updates MANIFEST to reflect changes in source structure
12555	+ Eliminates a problem introduced with my last patch for the C++
12556	  binding in the panels code.  It removes the update() call done in the
12557	  panel destructor.
12558	+ Changes in the Ada95 binding to better support systems where
12559	  sizeof(chtype)!=sizeof(int) (e.g.  DEC Alpha).
12560
12561981114
12562	+ modify install-script for manpages to skip over .orig and .rej files
12563	  (request by Larry Virden).
12564	> patches/discussion by Alexander V Lukyanov:
12565	+ move base-library sources into ncurses/base and tty (serial terminal)
12566	  sources into ncurses/tty, as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's proposed
12567	  changes to ncurses library.
12568	+ copy _tracemouse() into ncurses.c so that lib_tracemse.c need not
12569	  be linked into the normal ncurses library.
12570	+ move macro winch to a function, to hide details of struct ldat
12571	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
12572	+ fix a potential compile problem in cursesw.cc
12573	+ some Ada95 cosmetics
12574	+ fix a gen.c problem when compiling on 64-Bit machines
12575	+ fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in "-L" linker switch
12576	+ modify Ada95 makefiles to use the INSTALL_PREFIX setting.
12577
12578981107
12579	+ ifdef'd out lib_freeall.c when not configured.
12580	+ rename _tracebits() to _nc_tracebits().
12581	+ move terminfo-library sources into ncurses/tinfo, and trace-support
12582	  functions into ncurses/trace as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's
12583	  proposed changes to ncurses library.
12584	+ modify generated term.h to always specify its own definitions for
12585	  HAVE_TERMIOS_H, etc., to guard against inclusion by programs with
12586	  broken configure scripts.
12587
12588981031
12589	+ modify terminfo parsing to accept octal and hexadecimal constants,
12590	  like Solaris.
12591	+ remove an autoconf 2.10 artifact from the configure script's check
12592	  for "-g" compiler options.  (Though harmless, this confused someone
12593	  at Debian, who recently issued a patch that results in the opposite
12594	  effect).
12595	+ add configure option --with-ada-compiler to accommodate installations
12596	  that do not use gcc as the driver for GNAT (patch by Juergen
12597	  Pfeifer).
12598
12599981017
12600	+ ensure ./man exists in configure script, needed when configuring
12601	  with --srcdir option.
12602	+ modify infocmp "-r" option to remove limit on formatted termcap
12603	  output, which makes it more like Solaris' version.
12604	+ modify captoinfo to treat no-argument case more like Solaris'
12605	  version, which uses the contents of $TERMCAP as the entry to format.
12606	+ modify mk-2nd.awk to handle subdirectories, e.g., ncurses/tty
12607	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12608
12609981010
12610	+ modify --with-terminfo-dirs option so that the default value is the
12611	  ${datadir} value, unless $TERMINFO_DIRS is already set.  This gets
12612	  rid of a hardcoded list of candidate directories in the configure
12613	  script.
12614	+ add some error-checking to _nc_read_file_entry() to ensure that
12615	  strings are properly terminated (Todd C Miller).
12616	+ rename manpage file curs_scr_dmp.3x to curs_scr_dump.3x, to
12617	  correspond with contents (reported by Neil Zanella
12618	  <nzanella@cs.mun.ca>).
12619	+ remove redundant configure check for C++ which did not work when $CXX
12620	  was specified with a full pathname (reported by Andreas Jaeger).
12621	+ corrected bcopy/memmove check; the macro was not standalone.
12622
12623981003
12624	+ remove unnecessary portion of OS/2 EMX mouse change from
12625	  check_pending() (reported by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12626
12627980926
12628	+ implement mouse support for OS/2 EMX (adapted from patch against
12629	  4.2(?) by Ilya Zakharevich).
12630	+ add configure-check for bcopy/memmove, for 980919 changes to hashmap.
12631	+ merge Data General terminfo from Hasufin <hasufin@vidnet.net> - TD
12632	+ merge AIX 3.2.5 terminfo descriptions for IBM terminals, replaces
12633	  some older entries - TD
12634	+ modify tic to compile into %'char' form in preference to %{number},
12635	  since that is a little more efficient.
12636	+ minor correction to infocmp to avoid displaying "difference" between
12637	  two capabilities that are rendered in equivalent forms.
12638	+ add "-g" option to tic/infocmp to force character constants to be
12639	  displayed in quoted form.  Otherwise their decimal values are shown.
12640	+ modify setupterm so that cancelled strings are treated the same as
12641	  absent strings, cancelled and absent booleans false (does not affect
12642	  tic, infocmp).
12643	+ modify tic, infocmp to discard redundant i3, r3 strings when output
12644	  to termcap format.
12645	> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
12646	+ improve performance of tparm, now it takes 19% instead of 25% when
12647	  profiling worm.
12648	+ rename maxlen/minlen to prec/width for better readability.
12649	+ use format string for printing strings.
12650	+ use len argument correctly in save_text, and pass it to save_number.
12651
12652980919
12653	+ make test_progs compile (but hashmap does not function).
12654	+ correct NC_BUFFERED macro, used in lib_mvcur test-driver, modify
12655	  associated logic to avoid freeing the SP->_setbuf data.
12656	+ add modules home_terminfo and getenv_num to libtinfo.
12657	+ move write_entry to libtinfo, to work with termcap caching.
12658	+ minor fixes to blue.c to build with atac.
12659	+ remove softscroll.c module; no longer needed for testing.
12660	> patches by Todd C Miller:
12661	+ use strtol(3) instead of atoi(3) when parsing env variables so we can
12662	  detect a bogus (non-numeric) value.
12663	+ check for terminal names > MAX_NAME_SIZE in a few more places when
12664	  dealing with env variables again.
12665	+ fix a MAX_NAME_SIZE that should be MAX_NAME_SIZE+1
12666	+ use sizeof instead of strlen(3) on PRIVATE_INFO since it is a fixed
12667	  string #define (compile time vs runtime).
12668	+ when setting errno to ENOMEM, set it right before the return, not
12669	  before code that could, possibly, set errno to a different value.
12670	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
12671	+ use default background in update_cost_from_blank()
12672	+ disable scroll-hints when hashmap is configured.
12673	+ improve integration of hashmap scrolling code, by adding oldhash and
12674	  newhash data to SP struct.
12675	+ invoke del_curterm from delscreen.
12676	+ modify del_curterm to set cur_term to null if it matches the
12677	  function's parameter which is deleted.
12678	+ modify lib_doupdate to prefer parm_ich to the enter_insert_mode and
12679	  exit_insert_mode combination, adjusting InsCharCost to check
12680	  enter_insert_mode, exit_insert_mode and insert_padding.  Add
12681	  insert_padding in insert mode after each char.  This adds new costs
12682	  to the SP struct.
12683
12684980912
12685	+ modify test-driver in lib_mvcur.s to use _nc_setbuffer, for
12686	  consistent treatment.
12687	+ modify ncurses to restore output to unbuffered on endwin, and resume
12688	  buffering in refresh (see lib_set_term.c and NC_BUFFERED macro).
12689	+ corrected HTML version numbers (according to the W3C validator, they
12690	  never were HTML 2.0-compliant, but are acceptable 3.0).
12691
12692980905
12693	+ modify MKterminfo.sh to generate terminfo.5 with tables sorted by
12694	  capability name, as in SVr4.
12695	+ modified term.h, termcap.h headers to avoid redundant declarations.
12696	+ change 'u_int' type in tset.c to unsigned, making this compile on
12697	  Sequent PRX 4.1 (reported by Michael Sterrett <msterret@coat.com>).
12698
12699980829
12700	+ corrections to mailing addresses, and moving the magic line that
12701	  causes the man program to invoke tbl to the first line of each
12702	  manpage (patch by Rick Ohnemus <rick@ecompcon.com>).
12703	+ add Makefile.os2 and supporting scripts to generate dll's on OS/2 EMX
12704	  (from J.J.G.Ripoll, with further integration by TD).
12705	+ correct a typo in icl6404 terminfo entry.
12706	+ add xtermm and xtermc terminfo entries.
12707	> from esr's terminfo version:
12708	+ Added Francesco Potorti's tuned Wyse 99 entries.
12709	+ dtterm enacs (from Alexander V Lukyanov).
12710	+ Add ncsa-ns, ncsa-m-ns and ncsa-m entries from esr version.
12711
12712980822
12713	+ document AT&T acs characters in terminfo.5 manpage.
12714	+ use EMX _scrsize() function if terminfo and environment do not
12715	  declare the screen size (reported by Ilya Zakharevich
12716	  <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>).
12717	+ remove spurious '\' characters from eterm and osborne terminfo
12718	  entries (prompted by an old Debian bug report).
12719	+ correct reversed malloc/realloc calls in _nc_doalloc (reported by
12720	  Hans-Joachim Widmaier <hjwidmai@foxboro.com>).
12721	+ correct misplaced parenthesis which caused file-descriptor from
12722	  opening termcap to be lost, from 980725 changes (reported by Andreas
12723	  Jaeger).
12724
12725980815
12726	+ modify lib_setup.c to eliminate unneeded include of <sys/ioctl.h>
12727	  when termios is not used (patch by Todd C Miller).
12728	+ add function _nc_doalloc, to ensure that failed realloc calls do not
12729	  leak memory (reported by Todd C Miller).
12730	+ improved ncsa-telnet terminfo entry.
12731
12732980809
12733	+ correct missing braces around a trace statement in read_entry.c,
12734	  from 980808 (reported by Kim DeVaughn <kimdv@best.com> and Liviu
12735	  Daia).
12736
12737980808
12738	+ fix missing include <errno.h> in ditto.c (reported by Bernhard
12739	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@k5.sucks.eu.org>)
12740	+ add NCSA telnet terminfo entries from Francesco Potorti
12741	  <F.Potorti@cnuce.cnr.it>, from Debian bug reports.
12742	+ make handling of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables more compatible with
12743	  Solaris by allowing them to individually override the window size
12744	  as obtained via ioctl.
12745
12746980801
12747	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to allow for terminal types (e.g., xterm-color)
12748	  which may reset all attributes in the 'op' capability, so that colors
12749	  are set before turning on bold and other attributes, but still after
12750	  turning attributes off.
12751	+ add 'ditto.c' to test directory to illustrate use of newterm for
12752	  initializing multiple screens.
12753	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to recover from failed attempt to link alias
12754	  for a terminfo on a filesystem which does not preserve character case
12755	  (reported by Peter L Jordan <PJordan@chla.usc.edu>).
12756
12757980725
12758	+ updated versions of config.guess and config.sub based on automake 1.3
12759	+ change name-comparisons in lib_termcap to compare no more than 2
12760	  characters (gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8, verified
12761	  with Solaris curses).
12762	+ fix typo in curs_insstr.3x (patch by Todd C Miller)
12763	+ use 'access()' to check if ncurses library should be permitted to
12764	  open or modify files with fopen/open/link/unlink/remove calls, in
12765	  case the calling application is running in setuid mode (request by
12766	  Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>, responding to Duncan Simpson
12767	  <dps@io.stargate.co.uk>).
12768	+ arm100 terminfo entries from Dave Millen <dmill@globalnet.co.uk>).
12769	+ qnxt2 and minitel terminfo entries from esr's version.
12770
12771980718
12772	+ use -R option with ldconfig on FreeBSD because otherwise it resets
12773	  the search path to /usr/lib (reported by Dan Nelson).
12774	+ add -soname option when building shared libraries on OpenBSD 2.x
12775	  (request by QingLong).
12776	+ add configure options --with-manpage-format and
12777	  --with-manpage-renames (request by QingLong).
12778	+ correct conversion of CANCELLED_NUMERIC in write_object(), which was
12779	  omitting the high-order byte, producing a 254 in the compiled
12780	  terminfo.
12781	+ modify return-values of tgetflag, tgetnum, tgetstr, tigetflag,
12782	  tigetnum and tigetstr to be compatible with Solaris (gleaned from
12783	  Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8).
12784	+ modify _nc_syserr_abort to abort only when compiled for debugging,
12785	  otherwise simply exit with an error.
12786
12787980711
12788	+ modify Ada95 'gen' program to use appropriate library suffix (e.g.,
12789	  "_g" for a debug build).
12790	+ update Ada95 'make clean' rule to include generics .ali files
12791	+ add a configure test to ensure that if GNAT is found, that it can
12792	  compile/link working Ada95 program.
12793	+ flush output in beep and flash functions, fixing a problem with
12794	  getstr (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov)
12795	+ fix egcs 1.0.2 warning for etip.h (patch by Chris Johns).
12796	+ correct ifdef/brace nesting in lib_sprintf.c (patch by Bernhard
12797	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@Pool.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE>).
12798	+ correct typo in wattr_get macro from 980509 fixes (patch by Dan
12799	  Nelson).
12800
12801980704
12802	+ merge changes from current XFree86 xterm terminfo descriptions.
12803	+ add configure option '--without-ada'.
12804	+ add a smart-default for termcap 'ac' to terminfo 'acs_chars' which
12805	  corresponds to vt100.
12806	+ change translation for termcap 'rs' to terminfo 'rs2', which is
12807	  the documented equivalent, rather than 'rs1'.
12808
12809980627
12810	+ slow 'worm' down a little, for very fast machines.
12811	+ corrected firstchar/lastchar computation in lib_hline.c
12812	+ simplify some expressions with CHANGED_CELL, CHANGED_RANGE and
12813	  CHANGED_TO_EOL macros.
12814	+ modify init_pair so that if a color-pair is reinitialized, we will
12815	  repaint the areas of the screen whose color changes, like SVr4 curses
12816	  (reported by Christian Maurer <maurer@inf.fu-berlin.de>).
12817	+ modify getsyx/setsyx macros to comply with SVr4 man-page which
12818	  says that leaveok() affects their behavior (report by Darryl Miles,
12819	  patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12820
12821980620
12822	+ review terminfo.5 against Solaris 2.6 curses version, corrected
12823	  several minor errors/omissions.
12824	+ implement tparm %l format.
12825	+ implement tparm printf-style width and precision for %s, %d, %x, %o
12826	  as per XSI.
12827	+ implement tparm dynamic variables (reported by Xiaodan Tang).
12828
12829980613
12830	+ update man-page for for wattr_set, wattr_get (cf:  980509)
12831	+ correct limits in hashtest, which would cause nonprinting characters
12832	  to be written to large screens.
12833	+ correct configure script, when --without-cxx was specified:  the
12834	  wrong variable was used for cf_cv_type_of_bool.  Compilers up to gcc
12835	  2.8 tolerated the missing 'int'.
12836	+ remove the hardcoded name "gcc" for the GNU Ada compiler.  The
12837	  compiler's name might be something like "egcs" (patch by Juergen
12838	  Pfeifer).
12839	+ correct curs_addch.3x, which implied that echochar could directly
12840	  display control characters (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12841	+ fix typos in ncurses-intro.html (patch by Sidik Isani
12842	  <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
12843
12844980606
12845	+ add configure test for conflicting use of exception in math.h and
12846	  other headers.
12847	+ minor optimization to 'hash()' function in hashmap.c, reduces its
12848	  time by 10%.
12849	+ correct form of LD_SHARED_OPTS for HP-UX 10.x (patch by Tim Mooney).
12850	+ fix missing quotes for 'print' in MKunctrl.awk script (reported by
12851	  Mihai Budiu <mihaib@gs41.sp.cs.cmu.edu>).
12852	> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
12853	+ correct problem on Solaris (with poll() function) where getch could
12854	  hang indefinitely even if timeout(x) was called.  This turned out to
12855	  be because milliseconds was not updated before 'goto retry' in
12856	  _nc_timed_wait.
12857	+ simplified the function _nc_timed_wait and fixed another bug, which
12858	  was the assumption of !GOOD_SELECT && HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY in *timeleft
12859	  assignment.
12860	+ removed the cycle on EINTR, as it seems to be useless.
12861
12862980530
12863	+ add makefile-rule for test/keynames
12864	+ modify run_tic.sh and shlib to ensure that user's .profile does not
12865	  override the $PATH used to run tic (patch by Tim Mooney).
12866	+ restore LD_SHARED_OPTS to $(LD_SHARED_FLAGS) when linking programs,
12867	  needed for HP-UX shared-library path (recommended by Tim Mooney).
12868	+ remove special case of HP-UX -L options, use +b options to embed
12869	  $(libdir) in the shared libraries (recommended by Tim Mooney).
12870	+ add checks for some possible buffer overflows and unchecked
12871	  malloc/realloc/calloc/strdup return values (patch by Todd C Miller
12872	  <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com>)
12873
12874980523
12875	+ correct maxx/maxy expression for num_columns/num_lines in derwin
12876	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12877	+ add /usr/share/lib/terminfo and /usr/lib/terminfo as compatibility
12878	  fallbacks to _nc_read_entry(), along with --with-terminfo-dirs
12879	  configure option (suggested by Mike Hopkirk).
12880	+ modify config.guess to recognize Unixware 2.1 and 7 (patch by Mike
12881	  Hopkirk <hops@sco.com>).
12882	+ suppress definition of CC_SHARED_OPTS in LDFLAGS_SHARED in c++
12883	  Makefile.in, since this conflicts when g++ is used with HP-UX
12884	  compiler (reported by Tim Mooney).
12885	+ parenthesize 'strcpy' calls in c++ binding to workaround redefinition
12886	  in some C++ implementations (reported by several people running
12887	  egcs with glibc 2.0.93, analysis by Andreas Jaeger.
12888
12889980516
12890	+ modify write_entry.c so that it will not attempt to link aliases
12891	  with embedded '/', but give only a warning.
12892	+ put -L$(libdir) first when linking programs, except for HP-UX.
12893	+ modify comp_scan.c to handle SVr4 terminfo description for att477,
12894	  which contains a colon in the description field.
12895	+ modify configure script to support SCO osr5.0.5 shared libraries,
12896	  from comp.unix.sco.programmer newsgroup item (Mike Hopkirk).
12897	+ eliminate extra GoTo call in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
12898	  Lukyanov).
12899	+ minor adjustments of const/NCURSES_CONST from IRIX compile.
12900	+ add updates based on esr's 980509 version of terminfo.src.
12901
12902980509
12903	+ correct macros for wattr_set, wattr_get, separate wattrset macro from
12904	  these to preserve behavior that allows attributes to be combined with
12905	  color pair numbers.
12906	+ add configure option --enable-no-padding, to allow environment
12907	  variable $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to eliminate non-mandatory padding,
12908	  thereby making terminal emulators (e.g., for vt100) a little more
12909	  efficient (request by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
12910	+ modify configure script to embed ABI in shared libraries for HP-UX
12911	  10.x (detailed request by Tim Mooney).
12912	+ add test/example of the 'filter()' function.
12913	+ add nxterm and xterm-color terminfo description (request by Cristian
12914	  Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>).
12915	+ modify rxvt terminfo description to clear alternate screen before
12916	  switching back to normal screen, for compatibility with applications
12917	  which use xterm (reported by Manoj Kasichainula <manojk@io.com>).
12918	+ modify linux terminfo description to reset color palette (reported
12919	  by Telford Tendys <telford@eng.uts.edu.au>).
12920	+ correction to doupdate, for case where terminal does not support
12921	  insert/delete character.  The logic did not check that there was a
12922	  difference in alignment of changes to old/new screens before
12923	  repainting the whole non-blank portion of the line.  Modified to fall
12924	  through into logic that reduces by the portion which does not differ
12925	  (reported by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
12926	+ minor performance improvement to wnoutrefresh by moving some
12927	  comparisons out of inner loop.
12928
12929980425
12930	+ modify configure script to substitute NCURSES_CONST in curses.h
12931	+ updated terminfo entries for xterm-xf86-v40, xterm-16color,
12932	  xterm-8bit to correspond to XFree86 3.9Ag.
12933	+ remove restriction that forces ncurses to use setaf/setab if the
12934	  number of colors is greater than 8.  (see 970524 for xterm-16color).
12935	+ change order of -L options (so that $(libdir) is searched first) when
12936	  linking tic and other programs, to workaround HP's linker.
12937	  Otherwise, the -L../lib is embedded when linking against shared
12938	  libraries and the installed program does not run (reported by Ralf
12939	  Hildebrandt).
12940	+ modify configuration of shared libraries on Digital Unix so that
12941	  versioning is embedded in the library, rather than implied by
12942	  links (patch by Tim Mooney).
12943
12944980418
12945	+ modify etip.h to avoid conflict with math.h on HP-UX 9.03 with gcc
12946	  2.8.1 which redefines 'exception' (reported by Ralf Hildebrandt
12947	  <R.Hildebrandt@tu-bs.de>).
12948	+ correct configure tests in CF_SHARED_OPTS which used $CC value to
12949	  check for gcc, rather than autoconf's $GCC value.  This did not
12950	  work properly if the full pathname of the compiler were given
12951	  (reported by Michael Yount <yount@csf.Colorado.edu>).
12952	+ revise check for compiler options to force ANSI mode since repeating
12953	  an option such as -Aa causes HP's compiler to fail on its own headers
12954	  (reported by Clint Olsen <olsenc@ichips.intel.com>).
12955
12956980411
12957	+ ifdef'd has_key() and mcprint() as extended functions.
12958	+ modified several prototypes to correspond with 1997 version of
12959	  X/Open Curses (affects ABI since developers have used attr_get).
12960	+ remove spurious trailing blanks in glibc addon-scripts (patch by
12961	  H.J.Lu).
12962	+ insert a few braces at locations where gcc-2.8.x asks to use them to
12963	  avoid ambiguous else's, use -fpic rather than -fPIC for Linux (patch
12964	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
12965
12966980404
12967	+ split SHLIB_LIST into SHLIB_DIRS/SHLIB_LIST to keep -L options
12968	  before -l to accommodate Solaris' linker (reported by Larry Virden).
12969
12970980328
12971	+ modify lib_color.c to eliminate dependency on orig_colors and
12972	  orig_pair, since SVr4 curses does not require these either, but
12973	  uses them when they are available.
12974	+ add detailed usage-message to infocmp.
12975	+ correct a typo in att6386 entry (a "%?" which was "?").
12976	+ add -f option to infocmp and tic, which formats the terminfo
12977	  if/then/else/endif so that they are readable (with newlines and
12978	  tabs).
12979	+ fixes for glibc addon scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
12980
12981980321
12982	+ revise configure macro CF_SPEED_TYPE so that termcap.h has speed_t
12983	  declared (from Adam J Richter <adam@yggdrasil.com>)
12984	+ remove spurious curs_set() call from leaveok() (J T Conklin).
12985	+ corrected handling leaveok() in doupdate() (patch by Alexander V.
12986	  Lukyanov).
12987	+ improved version of wredrawln (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12988	+ correct c++/Makefile.in so install target do not have embedded ../lib
12989	  to confuse it (patch by Thomas Graf <graf@essi.fr>).
12990	+ add warning to preinstall rule which checks if the installer would
12991	  overwrite a curses.h or termcap.h that is not derived from ncurses.
12992	  (The recommended configuration for developers who need both is to
12993	  use --disable-overwrite).
12994	+ modify preinstall rule in top-level Makefile to avoid implicit
12995	  use of 'sh', to accommodate Ultrix 4.4 (reported by Joao Palhoto
12996	  Matos <jmatos@math.ist.utl.pt>, patch by Thomas Esser
12997	  <te@informatik.uni-hannover.de>)
12998	+ refine ifdef's for TRACE so that libncurses has fewer dependencies
12999	  on libtinfo when TRACE is disabled.
13000	+ modify configure script so that if the --with-termlib option is used
13001	  to generate a separate terminfo library, we chain it to the ncurses
13002	  library with a "-l" option (reported by Darryl Miles and Ian T.
13003	  Zimmerman).
13004
13005980314
13006	+ correct limits and window in wredrawln function (reported/analysis by
13007	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13008	+ correct sed expression in configure script for --with-fallback
13009	  option (patch by Jesse Thilo).
13010	+ correct some places in configure script where $enableval was used
13011	  rather than $withval (patch by Darryl Miles <dlm@g7led.demon.co.uk>).
13012	+ modify some man-pages so no '.' or '..' falls between TH and SH
13013	  macros, to accommodate man_db program (reported by Ian T. Zimmerman
13014	  <itz@rahul.net>).
13015	+ terminfo.src 10.2.1 downloaded from ESR's webpage (ESR).
13016	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
13017	+ add copyright notices (and rcs id's) on remaining man-pages.
13018	+ corrected prototypes for slk_* functions, using chtype rather than
13019	  attr_t.
13020	+ implemented the wcolor_set() and slk_color() functions
13021	+ the slk_attr_{set,off,on} functions need an additional void*
13022	  parameter according to XSI.
13023	+ fix the C++ and Ada95 binding as well as the man pages to
13024	  reflect above enhancements.
13025
13026980307
13027	+ use 'stat()' rather than 'access()' in toe.c to check for the
13028	  existence of $HOME/.terminfo, since it may be a file.
13029	+ suppress configure CF_CXX_LIBRARY check if we are not using g++
13030	  2.7.x, since this is not needed with g++ 2.8 or egcs (patch by
13031	  Juergen Pfeifer).
13032	+ turn on hashmap scrolling code by default, intend to remedy defects
13033	  by 4.3 release.
13034	+ minor corrections to terminfo.src changelog.
13035
13036980302	4.2 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
13037	+ correct Florian's email address in ncurses-intro.html
13038	+ terminfo.src 10.2.0 (ESR).
13039
13040980228	pre-release
13041	+ add linux-koi8r replace linux-koi8, which is not KOI8 (patch by
13042	  QingLong <qinglong@Bolizm.ihep.su>).
13043	+ minor documentation fixes (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
13044	+ add setlocale() call to ncurses.c (reported by Claes G. Lindblad
13045	  <claesg@algonet.se>).
13046	+ correct sign-extension in lib_insstr.c (reported by Sotiris
13047	  Vassilopoulos <svas@leon.nrcps.ariadne-t.gr>)
13048
13049980221	pre-release
13050	+ regenerated some documentation overlooked in 980214 patch
13051	  (ncurses-intro.doc, curs_outopts.3x.html)
13052	+ minor ifdef change to C++ binding to work with gcc 2.8.0 (patch by
13053	  Juergen Pfeifer).
13054	+ change maintainer's mailing address to florian@gnu.org, change
13055	  tentative mailing list address to bug-ncurses-request@gnu.org (patch
13056	  by Florian La Roche).
13057	+ add definition of $(REL_VERSION) to c++/Makefile.in (reported by Gran
13058	  Hasse <gh@raditex.se>).
13059	+ restore version numbers to Ada95 binding, accidentally deleted by
13060	  copyright patch (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
13061
13062980214	pre-release
13063	+ remove ncurses.lsm from MANIFEST so that it won't be used in FSF
13064	  distributions, though it is retained in development.
13065	+ correct scaling of milliseconds to nanoseconds in lib_napms.c (patch
13066	  by Jeremy Buhler).
13067	+ update mailing-list information (bug-ncurses@gnu.org).
13068	+ update announcement for upcoming 4.2 release.
13069	+ modify -lm test to check for 'sin()' rather than 'floor()'
13070	+ remove spurious commas from terminfo.src descriptions.
13071	+ change copyright notices to Free Software Foundation
13072
13073980207
13074	+ minor fixes for autoconf macros CF_ERRNO, CF_HELP_MESSAGE and
13075	  CF_SIZECHANGE
13076	+ modify Makefile.glibc so that $(objpfx) is defined (H.J.Lu).
13077	+ ifdef-out true-return from _nc_mouse_inline() which depends on
13078	  merge of QNX patch (pending 4.2 release).
13079	> patch to split off seldom-used modules in ncurses (J T Conklin):
13080	  This reduces size by up to 2.6kb.
13081	+ move functionality of _nc_usleep into napms, add configuration case
13082	  for nanosleep().
13083	+ moved wchgat() from lib_addch.c to lib_chgat.c
13084	+ moved clearok(), immedok(), leaveok(), and scrollok() from
13085	  lib_options.c to lib_clearok.c, lib_immedok.c, lib_leaveok.c and
13086	  lib_scrollok.c.
13087	+ moved napms() from lib_kernel.c to lib_napms.c
13088	+ moved echo() and noecho() from lib_raw.c to lib_echo.c
13089	+ moved nl() and nonl() from lib_raw.c to lib_nl.c
13090
13091980131
13092	+ corrected conversion in tclock.c (cf: 971018).
13093	+ updates to Makefile.glibc and associated Linux configure script
13094	  (patch by H.J.Lu).
13095	+ workaround a quoting problem on SunOS with tar-copy.sh
13096	+ correct init_pair() calls in worm.c to work when use_default_colors()
13097	  is not available.
13098	+ include <sys/types.h> in CF_SYS_TIME_SELECT to work with FreeBSD
13099	  2.1.5
13100	+ add ncv capability to FreeBSD console (cons25w), making reverse
13101	  work with color.
13102	+ correct sense of configure-test for sys/time.h inclusion with
13103	  sys/select.h
13104	+ fixes for Ada95/ada_include/Makefile.in to work with --srcdir option.
13105	+ remove unused/obsolete test-program rules from progs/Makefile.in
13106	  (the rules in ncurses/Makefile.in work).
13107	+ remove shared-library loader flags from test/Makefile.in, etc.
13108	+ simplify test/configure.in using new version of autoconf to create
13109	  test/ncurses_cfg.h
13110	+ suppress suffix rules in test/Makefile.in, provide explicit
13111	  dependency to work with --srcdir option and less capable 'make'
13112	  programs.
13113	> adapted from patch for QNX by Xiaodan Tang:
13114	+ initialize %P and %g variables set/used in tparm, and also ensure
13115	  that empty strings don't return a null result from tparam_internal
13116	+ add QNX-specific prototype for vsscanf()
13117	+ move initialization of SP->_keytry from init_keytry() to newterm() to
13118	  avoid resetting it via a keyok() call by mouse_activate().
13119	+ reorganized some functions in lib_mouse() to use case-statements.
13120	+ remove sgr string from qnx terminfo entry since it is reported to
13121	  turn off attributes inconsistently.
13122
13123980124
13124	+ add f/F/b/B commands to ncurses 'b' test to toggle colors, providing
13125	  test for no_color_video.
13126	+ adjusted emx.src to use no_color_video, now works with ncurses 'b'
13127	  and 'k' tests.
13128	+ implement no_color_video attribute, and as a special case, reverse
13129	  colors when the reverse attribute cannot be combined with color.
13130	+ check for empty string in $TERM variable (reported by Brett Michaels
13131	  <brett@xylan.com>).
13132	> from reports by Fred Fish:
13133	+ add configure-test for isascii
13134	+ add configure-test for -lm library.
13135	+ modify CF_BOOL_SIZE to check if C++ bool types are unsigned.
13136	> patches by J.J.G.Ripoll
13137	+ add configure/makefile variables to support .exe extension on
13138	  OS/2 EMX (requires additional autoconf patches).
13139	+ explicitly initialize variables in lib_data.c to appease OS/2 linker
13140	> patches by Fred Fish <fnf@ninemoons.com>
13141	+ misc/Makefile.in (install.data):  Avoid trying to install the CVS
13142	  directory.
13143	+ aclocal.m4 (install.includes):  Remove files in the include directory
13144	  where we are going to install new ones, not the original source
13145	  files.
13146	+ misc/terminfo.src:  Add entry for "beterm", derived from termcap
13147	  distributed with BeOS PR2 using captoinfo.
13148	+ aclocal.m4: Wrap $cf_cv_type_of_bool with quotes (contains space)
13149	+ aclocal.m4: Assume bool types are unsigned.
13150	+ progs/infocmp.c: workaround mwcc 32k function data limit
13151
13152980117
13153	+ correct initialization of color-pair (cf: 970524) in xmas.c, which
13154	  was using only one color-pair for all colors (reported by
13155	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
13156	+ add multithread options for objects build on EMX, for compatibility
13157	  with XFree86.
13158	+ split up an expression in MKlib_gen.sh to work around a problem on
13159	  OS/2 EMX, with 'ash' (patch by J.J.G.Ripoll).
13160	+ change terminfo entries xterm (xterm-xf86-v40), xterm-8bit rs1 to use
13161	  hard reset.
13162	+ rename terminfo entry xterm-xf86-v39t to xterm-xf86-v40
13163	+ remove bold/underline from sun console entries since they're not
13164	  implemented.
13165	+ correct _tracef calls in _tracedump(), which did not separate format
13166	  from parameters.
13167	+ correct getopt string for tic "-o" option, and add it to man-page
13168	  synopsis (reported by Darren Hiebert <darren@hmi.com>).
13169	+ correct typo in panel/Makefile.in, reversed if-statement in scrolling
13170	  optimization (Alexander V.  Lukyanov).
13171	+ test for 'remove()', use 'unlink() if not found (patch by Philippe De
13172	  Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>).
13173	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
13174	+ Improve a feature of the forms driver.  For invisible fields
13175	  (O_VISIBLE off) only the contents but not the attributes are cleared.
13176	  We now clear both.  (Reported by Javier Kohan
13177	  <jkohan@adan.fceia.unr.edu.ar>)
13178	+ The man page form_field_opts.3x makes now clear, that invisible
13179	  fields are also always inactive.
13180	+ adjust ifdef's to compile the C++ binding with the just released
13181	  gcc-2.8.0 c++ and the corresponding new C++ libraries.
13182
13183980110
13184	+ correct "?" command in ncurses.c; it was performing non-screen writes
13185	  while the program was in screen mode.  (It "worked" in 1.9.9e because
13186	  that version sets OPOST and OCRNL incorrectly).
13187	+ return error from functions in lib_kernel, lib_raw and lib_ti if
13188	  cur_term is null, or if underlying I/O fails.
13189	+ amend change to tputs() so that it does not return an error if
13190	  cur_term is null, since some applications depend on being able to use
13191	  tputs without initializing the terminal (reported by Christian J.
13192	  Robinson <infynity@cyberhighway.net>).
13193
13194980103
13195	+ add a copy of emx.src from J.J.G.Ripoll's OS/2 EMX version of ncurses
13196	  1.9.9e, together with fixes/additions for the "ansi" terminal type.
13197	+ add tic check for save/restore cursor if change_scroll_region is
13198	  defined (reference: O'Reilly book).
13199	+ modify read_termcap.c to handle EMX-style pathnames (reported by
13200	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
13201	+ modify lib_raw.c to use EMX's setmode (patch from J.J.G.Ripoll).
13202	  Ripoll says EMX's curses does this.
13203	+ modify _nc_tic_expand() to generate \0 rather than \200.
13204	+ move/revise 'expand()' from dump_entry.c to ncurses library as
13205	  _nc_tic_expand(), for use by tack.
13206	+ decode \a as \007 for terminfo, as per XSI.
13207	+ correct translation of terminfo "^@", to \200, like \0.
13208	+ modify next_char() to treat <cr><lf> the same as <newline>, for
13209	  cross-platform compatibility.
13210	+ use new version of autoconf (971230) to work around limited
13211	  environment on CLIX, due to the way autoconf builds --help message.
13212	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
13213	+ check that the Ada95 binding runs against the correct version of
13214	  ncurses.
13215	+ insert constants about the library version into the main spec-file of
13216	  the Ada95 binding.
13217
13218971227
13219	+ modify open/fopen calls to use binary mode, needed for EMX.
13220	+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.10 mods for OS/2
13221	  EMX (from J.J.G.Ripoll).
13222	+ generated ncurses_cfg.h with patch (971222) to autoconf 2.12 which
13223	  bypasses limited sed buffer length.
13224	> several changes from Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll <worm@arrakis.es>
13225	  (J.J.G.Ripoll) to support OS/2 EMX:
13226	+ add a _scrolling flag to SP, to set when we encounter a terminal
13227	  that simply cannot scroll.
13228	+ corrected logic in _nc_add_to_try(), by ensuring that strings with
13229	  embedded \200 characters are matched.
13230	+ don't assume the host has 'link()' function, for linking terminfo
13231	  entries.
13232
13233971220
13234	+ if there's no ioctl's to support sigwinch handler, disable it.
13235	+ add configure option --disable-ext-funcs to remove the extended
13236	  functions from the build.
13237	+ add configure option --with-termlib to generate the terminfo
13238	  functions as a separate library.
13239	+ add 'sources' rule to facilitate cross-compiling.
13240	+ review/fix order of mostlyclean/clean/distclean rules.
13241	+ modify install-rule for headers to first remove old header, in
13242	  case there was a symbolic link that confuses the install script.
13243	+ corrected substitution for NCURSES_CONST in term.h (cf: 971108)
13244	+ add null pointer checks in wnoutrefresh(), overlap() (patch by
13245	  Xiaodan Tang <xtang@qnx.com>)
13246	+ correct tputs(), which could dereference a null cur_term if invoked
13247	  before terminal is initialized (patch by Christopher Seawood
13248	  <cls@seawood.org>)
13249	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
13250	+ makes better use of "pragma Inline" in the Ada95 binding
13251	+ resynchronizes the generated html manpages
13252
13253971213
13254	+ additional fixes for man-pages section-references
13255	+ add (for debugging) a check for ich/ich1 conflict with smir/rmir
13256	  to tic, etc.
13257	+ remove hpa/vpa from rxvt terminal description because they are not
13258	  implemented correctly, added sgr0.
13259	+ change ncurses 's' to use raw mode, so ^Q works (reported by Rudolf
13260	  Leitgeb <leitgeb@leland.stanford.edu>)
13261
13262971206
13263	+ modify protection when installing libraries to (normally) not
13264	  executable.  HP-UX shared libraries are an exception.
13265	+ add configure check for 'tack'.
13266	+ implement script for renaming section-references in man-page install,
13267	  for Debian configuration.
13268	+ add validity-check for SP in trace code in baudrate() (reported by
13269	  Daniel Weaver).
13270	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov (fixes to match sol25 curses)
13271	+ modify 'overlay()' so that copy applies target window background to
13272	  characters.
13273	+ correct 'mvwin()' so that it does not clear the previous locations.
13274	+ correct lib_acs.c so that 8-bit character is not sign expanded in
13275	  case of wide characters in chtype.
13276	+ correct control-char test in lib_addch.c for use with wide chars
13277	+ use attribute in the chtype when adding a control character in
13278	  lib_addch.c control char was added with current attribute
13279
13280971129
13281	+ save/restore errno in _tracef() function
13282	+ change treatment of initialize_color to use a range of 0..1000
13283	  (recommended by Daniel Weaver).
13284	+ set umask in mkinstalldirs, fixing problems reported by users who
13285	  have set root's umask to 077.
13286	+ correct bug in tic that caused capabilities to be reprinted at the
13287	  end of output when they had embedded comments.
13288	+ rewrote wredrawln to correspond to XSI, and split-out since it is
13289	  not often used (from report by Alexander V. Lukyanov, 970825)
13290	+ rewrote Dan Nelson's change to make it portable, as well as to
13291	  correct logic for handling backslashes.
13292	+ add code to _nc_tgetent() to make it work more like a real tgetent().
13293	  It removes all empty fields, and removes all but the first in a group
13294	  of duplicate caps.  The code was pulled from the BSD libtermcap code
13295	  in termcap.c (patch by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>
13296	+ don't include --enable-widec in the --with-develop configure option,
13297	  since it is not binary-compatible with 4.1 (noted by Alexander V.
13298	  Lukyanov)
13299	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
13300	+ further improvements of the usage of elaboration pragmas in the Ada95
13301	  binding
13302	+ enhanced Ada95 sample to use the user_data mechanism for panels.
13303	+ a fix for the configuration script to make gnat-3.10 the required
13304	  version.
13305	+ resync of the html version of the manpages
13306
13307971122
13308	> fixes/updates for terminfo.src:
13309	+ add vt220-js, pilot, rbcomm, datapoint entries from esr's 27-jun-97
13310	  version.
13311	+ add hds200 description (Walter Skorski)
13312	+ add EMX 0.9b descriptions
13313	+ correct rmso/smso capabilities in wy30-mc and wy50-mc (Daniel Weaver)
13314	+ rename xhpterm back to hpterm.
13315	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
13316	+ Improves the usage of elaboration pragmas for the Ada95 binding.
13317	+ Adds a translation of the test/rain.c into Ada95 to the samples.
13318	  This has been contributed to the project by Laurent Pautet
13319	  (pautet@gnat.com)
13320
13321971115
13322	+ increase MAX_NAME_SIZE to 512 to handle extremely long alias list
13323	  in HP-UX terminfo.
13324	+ correction & simplification of delay computation in tputs, based on
13325	  comments from Daniel Weaver.
13326	+ replace test for SCO with more precise header tests.
13327	+ add configure test for unsigned literals, use in NCURSES_BITS macro.
13328	+ comment-out the -PIC, etc., flags from c++, progs and test makefiles
13329	  since they probably are not needed, and are less efficient (noted by
13330	  Juergen Fluk)
13331	+ add -L$(libdir) to loader options, after -L../lib so that loaders
13332	  that record this information will tend to do the right thing if
13333	  the programs are moved around after installing them (suggested by
13334	  Juergen Fluk).
13335	+ add -R option to loader options for programs for Solaris if the
13336	  --enable-rpath option is specified for the libraries.
13337
13338971112
13339	+ correct installed filename for shared libraries on *BSD (reported by
13340	  Juergen Fluk).
13341
13342971108
13343	+ cleanup logic for deciding when tputs() should call delay_output(),
13344	  based on comments from Daniel Weaver.
13345	+ modified tputs() to avoid use of float.
13346	+ correct use of trailpad in tputs(), which used the wrong variable
13347	  in call to delay_output().
13348	+ correct inverted expression for null-count in delay_output()
13349	  (analysis by Daniel Weaver).
13350	+ apply --enable-rpath option to Solaris (requested by Larry Virden).
13351	+ correct substitution of EXTRA_CFLAGS for gcc 2.6.3
13352	+ correct check for error-return by _nc_tgetent(), which returns 0
13353	  for success.
13354	+ add configure test for BSD 4.4 cgetent() function, modify
13355	  read_termcap.c to use the host's version of that if found, using the
13356	  terminal database on FreeBSD (reported by Peter Wemm).
13357	+ add u8, u9 strings to sun-il description for Daniel Weaver.
13358	+ use NCURSES_CONST in panel's user-pointer.
13359	+ modify edit_cfg.sh and MKterm.h.awk.in to substitute NCURSES_CONST
13360	  so that will work on NeXT.
13361	+ use _nc_set_screen() rather than assignments to SP to fix port to
13362	  NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
13363
13364971101
13365	+ force mandatory padding in bell and flash_screen, as specified in
13366	  XSI.
13367	+ don't allow padding_baud_rate to override mandatory delays (reported
13368	  by Daniel Weaver).
13369	+ modify delay_output() to use _nc_timed_wait() if no baudrate has been
13370	  defined, or if the cur_term pointer is not initialized.  XSI treats
13371	  this as unspecified.  (requested by Daniel Weaver).
13372	+ change getcap-cache ifdef's to eliminate unnecessary chdir/mkdir
13373	  when that feature is not configured.
13374	+ remove _nc_err_abort() calls when write_entry.c finds a directory but
13375	  cannot write to it, e.g., when translating part/all of /etc/termcap
13376	  (reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>).
13377	  (this dates back to 951102 in 1.9.7a).
13378	+ minor ifdef fixes to compile with atac and glibc 2.0.5c
13379	+ add check for -lgen when configuring regexpr.h
13380	+ modify Solaris shared-library option "-d y" to "-dy" to workaround
13381	  incompatibility of gcc 2.7.2 vs vendor's tools.
13382
13383971026
13384	+ correct ifdef's for struct winsize vs struct ttysize in lib_setup.c
13385	  to compile on SCO.
13386	+ remove dangling backslash in panel/Makefile.in
13387	+ modify MKkeyname.awk to work with SCO's nawk, which dumps core in the
13388	  length() function.
13389	+ correct length of allocation in _nc_add_to_try(), to allow for
13390	  trailing null.
13391	+ correct logic in _nc_remove_key(), which was discarding too many
13392	  nodes (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov)
13393
13394971025
13395	+ add definition for $(REL_VERSION) to test/Makefile.in, so *BSD
13396	  shared libraries link properly (see 970524).
13397	+ modify Linux shared-library generation to include library
13398	  dependencies (e.g., -lncurses and -lgpm) in the forms, menu and
13399	  panel libraries (suggested by Juergen Pfeifer).
13400	+ modify configure script to use config.guess and config.sub rather
13401	  than uname, which is unreliable on some systems.
13402	+ updated Makefile.glibc, test-built with glibc 2.0.5c
13403	+ modify keyname() to return values consistent with SVr4 curses (patch
13404	  by Juergen Fluk).
13405	> changes requested by Daniel Weaver:
13406	+ modify delay_output() so that it uses the same output function as
13407	  tputs() if called from that function.
13408	+ move _baudrate from SCREEN to TERMINAL so that low-level use of
13409	  tputs works when SP is not set.
13410	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
13411	+ factor lib_menu and lib_form into smaller modules
13412	+ clean up the interface between panel and SCREEN
13413	+ minor changes to the Ada95 mouse support implementation
13414	+ minor bugfix in C++ binding to ripoff windows
13415	+ fix a few Ada95 html documentation pages
13416
13417971018
13418	+ split-out lib_ungetch.c, make runtime link to resizeterm() to
13419	  decouple those modules from lib_restart.c
13420	+ add xterm-xf86-v39t description to terminfo.src
13421	+ reset SP->_endwin in lib_tstp.c cleanup() function after calling
13422	  endwin() to avoid unnecessary repainting if the application has
13423	  established an atexit function, etc.  Encountered this problem in
13424	  the c++ demo, whose destructors repaint the screen.
13425	+ combine _nc_get_screensize() and resizeterm() calls as new function
13426	  _nc_update_screensize().
13427	+ minor fixes to allow compile with g++ (suggested by Nelson H. F.
13428	  Beebe).
13429	+ implement install-rules for Ada95 makefiles.
13430	+ use screen_lines or MAXLINES as needed where LINES was coded,
13431	  as well as screen_columns for COLS, in the ncurses library.
13432	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
13433	+ modify logic for ripped-off lines to handle several SCREENs.
13434	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
13435	+ factors lib_slk.c into some smaller modules
13436	+ factors panel.c into some smaller modules
13437	+ puts the static information about the current panel stack into the
13438	  SCREEN structure to allow different panel stacks on different
13439	  screens.
13440	+ preliminary fix for an error adjusting LINES to account for
13441	  ripped-off lines.
13442
13443971011
13444	+ move _nc_max_click_interval and other mouse interface items to SCREEN
13445	  struct so that they are associated with a single terminal, and also
13446	  save memory when the application does not need a mouse (roughly 3k vs
13447	  0.5k on Linux).
13448	+ modify mouseinterval() so that a negative parameter queries the
13449	  click-interval without modifying it.
13450	+ modify ncurses 'i' test to work with ncurses' apparent extension from
13451	  SVr4, i.e., allows nocbreak+noecho (analysis by Alexander V.
13452	  Lukyanov).
13453	+ add configure options --with-ada-includes and --with-ada-objects,
13454	  to drive Ada95 binding install (not yet implemented).
13455	+ install C++ binding as -lncurses++ and associated headers with the
13456	  other ncurses headers.
13457	+ fix header uninstall if configure --srcdir is used.
13458	> minor interface changes to support 'tack' program -TD
13459	  (request by Daniel Weaver <danw@znyx.com>).
13460	+ export functions _nc_trans_string() and _nc_msec_cost().
13461	+ add variable _nc_nulls_sent, to record the number of padding
13462	  characters output in delay_output().
13463	+ move tests for generic_type and hard_copy terminals in setupterm()
13464	  to the end of that function so that the library will still be
13465	  initialized, though not generally useful for curses programs.
13466	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
13467	+ modify ClrBottom() to avoid using clr_eos if there is only one line
13468	  to erase.
13469	+ typo in configure --help.
13470	> patch by J T Conklin (with minor resync against Juergen's changes)
13471	+ split-out lib_flash.c from lib_beep.c
13472	+ split-out lib_hline.c and lib_vline.c from lib_box.c
13473	+ split-out lib_wattron.c, lib_wattroff.c from lib_addch.c
13474
13475971005
13476	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
13477	+ correct source/target of c++/edit_cfg.sh
13478
13479971004
13480	+ add color, mouse support to kterm terminfo entry.
13481	+ modify lib_mouse.c to recognize rxvt, kterm, color_xterm also as
13482	  providing "xterm"-style mouse.
13483	+ updated rxvt's terminfo description to correspond to 2.21b, with
13484	  fixes for the acsc (the box1 capability is incorrect, ech1 does not
13485	  work).
13486	+ fix logic in parse_entry.c that discarded acsc when 'synthesizing'
13487	  an entry from equivalents in XENIX or AIX.  This lets ncurses handle
13488	  the distribution copy of rxvt's terminfo.
13489	+ modify acsc capability for linux and linux-koi8 terminfo descriptions
13490	  (from Pavel Roskin <pavel@absolute.spb.su>).
13491	+ corrected definition in curses.h for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I'
13492	  rather than 'i' (see 970802).
13493	+ updated terminfo.src with reformatted acsc entries, and repaired the
13494	  trashed entries with spurious '\' characters that this exposed.
13495	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to reformat acsc entries into canonical
13496	  form (sorted, unique mapping).
13497	+ add configure script to generate c++/etip.h
13498	+ add configure --with-develop option, to enable by default most of the
13499	  experimental options (requested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13500	+ rename 'deinstall' to 'uninstall', following GNU convention
13501	  (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13502	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
13503	+ modify tactics 2 and 5 in onscreen_mvcur(), to allow them on the last
13504	  line of the screen, since carriage return will not cause a newline.
13505	+ remove clause from PutCharLR() that would try to use
13506	  eat_newline_glitch since that apparently does not work on some
13507	  terminals (e.g., M$ telnet).
13508	+ correct a limit check in scroll_csr_backward()
13509	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
13510	+ adds dummy implementations of methods above() and below() to the
13511	  NCursesPanel class.
13512	+ fixes missing returncode in NCursesWindow::ripoffline()
13513	+ fixes missing returncode in TestApplication::run() in demo.cc
13514	+ We should at least give a comment in etip.h why it is currently a
13515	  problem to install the C++ binding somewhere
13516	+ makes the WINDOW* argument of wenclose() a const.
13517	+ modifies several of the routines in lib_adabind.c to use a const
13518	  WINDOW* argument.
13519
13520970927
13521	+ add 'deinstall' rules.
13522	+ use explicit assignments in configure --without-progs option to
13523	  work around autoconf bug which doesn't always set $withval.
13524	+ check for ldconfig, don't try to run it if not found.
13525	+ implement simple/unoptimized case in lib_doupdate.c to handle
13526	  display with magic cookie glitch, tested with ncurses.c program.
13527	+ correct missing _tracef in getmouse(), to balance the returnCode
13528	  macro.
13529	+ simplify show_attr() in ncurses.c using termattrs().
13530	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
13531	+ provides missing inlines for mvw[hv]line in cursesw.h of the C++
13532	  binding
13533	+ fixes a typo in a comment of frm_driver.c
13534	+ Enhances Ada95 Makefiles to fulfill the requirement of GNAT-3.10 that
13535	  generics should be compiled.  Proper fixes to the configuration
13536	  scripts are also provided.
13537
13538970920
13539	+ several modifications to the configure script (requested by Ward
13540	  Horner):
13541	  + add configure options --without-progs, to suppress the build of the
13542	    utility programs, e.g., for cross-compiling.
13543	  + add $(HOSTCCFLAGS) and $(HOSTLDFLAGS) symbols to ncurses
13544	    Makefile.in, to simplify setup for cross compiling.
13545	  + add logic in configure script to recognize "--target=vxworks", and
13546	    generate load/install actions for VxWorks objects.
13547	+ move typedef for sigaction_t into SigAction.h to work around problem
13548	  generating lint library.
13549	+ modify fty_regex.c to reflect renaming of ifdef's for regular
13550	  expressions.
13551	+ simplify ifdef in lib_setup.c for TIOCGWINSZ since that symbol may
13552	  reside in <sys/ioctl.h>.
13553	+ merge testcurs.c with version from PDCurses 2.3, clarifying some of
13554	  the more obscure tests, which rely upon color.
13555	+ use macros getbegyx() and getmaxyx() in newdemo.c and testcurs.c
13556	+ modify ncurses.c to use getbegyx() and getmaxyx() macros to cover up
13557	  implementation difference wrt SVr4 curses, allow 's' test to work.
13558	+ add missing endwin() to testscanw.c program (reported by Fausto
13559	  Saporito <fausap@itb.it>).
13560	+ fixes/updates for Makefile.glibc and related files under sysdeps
13561	  (patch by H.J.Lu).
13562	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
13563	+ add checks for null pointers, especially WINDOW's throughout the
13564	  ncurses library.
13565	+ solve a problem with wrong calculation of panel overlapping (reported
13566	  by Ward Horner):
13567	  + make sure that a panel's window isn't a pad.
13568	  + do more error checking in module lib_touch.c
13569	+ missing files for Ada95 binding from the last patch
13570	+ synch. of generated html pages (RCS-Id's were wrong in html files)
13571	+ support for Key_Resize in Ada binding
13572	+ changed documentation style in ./c++/cursesm.h
13573	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
13574	+ undo attempt to do recursive inlining for PutChar(), noting that it
13575	  did not improve timing measurably, but inflated the size of
13576	  lib_doupdate.o
13577
13578970913
13579	+ modify rain.c to use color.
13580	+ correct scroll_csr_backward() to match scroll_csr_forward().
13581	+ minor adjustment to llib-lncurses, to work with Solaris 2.5.1
13582	+ minor fixes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure to reflect renaming
13583	  of configure cache variables in 970906.
13584	+ correct logic involving changes to O_VISIBLE option in
13585	  Synchronize_Options function in frm_driver.c (Tony Hoffmann
13586	  <Tony.Hoffmann@hia.nrc.ca>)
13587	+ add $(HOSTCC) symbol to ncurses Makefile.in, to simplify setup for
13588	  cross compiling (suggested by Chris Johns).
13589	+ modify ifdef in lib_setup.c to only include <sys/ioctl.h> if we can
13590	  use it to support screen-size calculation (reported by Chris Johns).
13591	+ #undef unctrl to avoid symbol conflict in port to RTEMS (reported by
13592	  Chris Johns <cjohns@plessey.com.au>)
13593	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
13594	+ simplified, made minor corrections to Ada95 binding to form
13595	  fieldtype.
13596	+ The C++ binding has been enhanced:
13597	  + Improve NCursesWindow class:  added additional methods to cover
13598	    more ncurses functionality.  Make refresh() and noutrefresh()
13599	    virtual members to allow different implementation in the
13600	    NCursesPanel class.
13601	  + CAUTION:  changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of
13602	    NCursesWindow class.
13603	  + Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a
13604	    reimplementation of refresh() in the base class.  Added
13605	    noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel.
13606	  + Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform
13607	    functionality.
13608	  + Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to etip.h
13609	  + Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration of
13610	    menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of title lines
13611	    and Soft-Label-Keys for an application.
13612	  + Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menu's fieldlist.
13613	  + Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for menus.
13614	  + Enhanced demo.
13615	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_def.c:  take into account that copyarg and
13616	  freearg for a fieldtype may be NULL, makearg must not be NULL
13617	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_type.c:  in set_fieldtype_arg() makearg must
13618	  not be NULL, copyarg and freearg may be NULL.
13619	+ Fixed a bug in form/frm_def.c:  Allow Disconnect_Fields() if it is
13620	  already disconnected.
13621	+ Enhance form/frm_driver.c:  Allow growth of dynamic fields also on
13622	  navigation requests.
13623	+ Fixed a bug in form/fty_enum.c:  wrong position of postincrement in
13624	  case-insensitiva comparison routine.
13625	+ Enhanced form/lib_adabind.c with function _nc_get_field() to get a
13626	  forms field by index.
13627	+ Enhanced menu/m_adabind.c with function _nc_get_item() to get a menus
13628	  item by index.
13629	+ Fixed in curses.h.in:  make chtype argument for pechochar() constant.
13630	  Mark wbkgdset() as implemented, remove wbkgdset macro, because it was
13631	  broken (didn't handle colors correctly).
13632	+ Enhanced lib_mouse.c: added _nc_has_mouse() function
13633	+ Added _nc_has_mouse() prototype to curses.priv.h
13634	+ Modified lib_bkgd.c:  hopefully correct implementation of wbkgdset();
13635	  streamlined implementation of wbkgd()
13636	+ Modified lib_mvwin.c:  Disable move of a pad.  Implement (costly)
13637	  move of subwindows.  Fixed update behavior of movements of regular
13638	  windows.
13639	+ Fixed lib_pad.c:  make chtype argument of pechochar() const.
13640	+ Fixed lib_window.c:  dupwin() is not(!) in every bit a really clone
13641	  of the original.  Subwindows become regular windows by doing a
13642	  dupwin().
13643	+ Improved manpage form_fieldtype.3x
13644	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
13645	+ simplify the PutChar() handling of exit_am_mode, because we already
13646	  know that auto_right_margin is true.
13647	+ add a check in PutChar() for ability to insert to the case of
13648	  shifting character to LR corner.
13649	+ in terminal initialization by _nc_screen_resume(), make sure that
13650	  terminal right margin mode is known.
13651	+ move logic that invokes touchline(), or does the equivalent, into
13652	  _nc_scroll_window().
13653	+ modify scrolling logic use of insert/delete line capability, assuming
13654	  that they affect the screen contents only within the current
13655	  scrolling region.
13656	+ modify rain.c to demonstrate SIGWINCH handler.
13657	+ remove logic from getch() that would return an ERR if the application
13658	  called getch() when the cursor was at the lower-right corner of the
13659	  physical screen, and the terminal does not have insert-character
13660	  ability.
13661	+ change view.c so that it breaks out of getch() loop if a KEY_RESIZE
13662	  is read, and modify logic in getch() so this fix will yield the
13663	  desired behavior, i.e., the screen is repainted automatically when
13664	  the terminal window is resized.
13665
13666970906
13667	+ add configure option --enable-sigwinch
13668	+ modify view.c to test KEY_RESIZE logic, with "-r" option.
13669	+ modify testcurs.c to eliminate misleading display wrt cursor type
13670	  by testing if the terminal supports cnorm, civis, cvvis.
13671	+ several fixes for m68k/NeXT 4.0, to bring cur_term, _nc_curr_line and
13672	  _nc_curr_col variables into linked programs:  move these variables,
13673	  making new modules lib_cur_term and trace_buf (reported by Francisco
13674	  Alberto Tomei Torres <fatomei@sandburg.unm.edu>).
13675	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
13676	+ add pseudo-functionkey KEY_RESIZE which is returned by getch() when
13677	  the SIGWINCH handler has been called since the last call to
13678	  doupdate().
13679	+ modify lib_twait.c to hide EINTR only if HIDE_EINTR is defined.
13680	+ add SIGWINCH handler to ncurses library which is used if there is no
13681	  application SIGWINCH handler in effect when the screen is
13682	  initialized.
13683	+ make linked list of all SCREEN structures.
13684	+ move curses.h include before definition of SCREEN to use types in
13685	  that structure.
13686	+ correction to ensure that wgetstr uses only a newline to force a
13687	  scroll (970831).
13688
13689970831
13690	+ add experimental configure option --enable-safe-sprintf; the normal
13691	  mode now allocates a buffer as large as the screen for the
13692	  lib_printw.c functions.
13693	+ modify wgetch to refresh screen when reading ungetch'd characters,
13694	  since the application may require this - SVr4 does this.
13695	+ refine treatment of newline in wgetstr to echo only when this would
13696	  force the screen to scroll.
13697
13698970830
13699	+ remove override in wgetstr() that forces keypad(), since SVr4 does
13700	  not do this.
13701	+ correct y-reference for erasure in wgetstr() when a wrap forces a
13702	  scroll.
13703	+ correct x-position in waddch() after a wrap forces a scroll.
13704	+ echo newline in wgetstr(), making testscanw.c scroll properly when
13705	  scanw is done.
13706	+ modify vwscanw() to avoid potential buffer overflow.
13707	+ rewrote lib_printw.c to eliminate fixed-buffer limits.
13708	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
13709	+ correct an error in handling cooked mode in wgetch(); processing
13710	  was in the wrong order.
13711	+ simplified logic in wgetch() that handles backspace, etc., by using
13712	  wechochar().
13713	+ correct wechochar() so that it interprets the output character as
13714	  in waddch().
13715	+ modify pechochar() to use prefresh() rather than doupdate(), since
13716	  the latter does not guarantee immediate refresh of the pad.
13717	+ modify pechochar() so that if called with a non-pad WINDOW, will
13718	  invoke wechochar() instead.
13719	+ modify fifo indices to allow fifo to be longer than 127 bytes.
13720
13721970823
13722	+ add xterm-8bit to terminfo.src
13723	+ moved logic for SP->_fifohold inside check_pending() to make it
13724	  work properly when we add calls to that function.
13725	+ ensure that bool functions return only TRUE or FALSE, and TRUE/FALSE
13726	  are assigned to bool values (patch by H.J.Lu).
13727	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
13728	+ several fixes to getch:
13729	  1.  Separate cooked and raw keys in fifo
13730	  2.  Fix the case of ungetch'ed KEY_MOUSE
13731	  3.  wrap the code for hiding EINTR with ifdef HIDE_EINTR
13732	  4.  correctly handle input errors (i.e., EINTR) without loss of raw
13733	      keys
13734	  5.  recognize ESC KEY_LEFT and similar
13735	  6.  correctly handle the case of reception of KEY_MOUSE from gpm
13736	+ correct off-by-one indexing error in _nc_mouse_parse(), that caused
13737	  single mouse events (press/release) to be ignored in favor of
13738	  composed events (click).  Improves on a fix from integrating gpm
13739	  support in 961229.
13740	+ add another call to check_pending, before scrolling, for
13741	  line-breakout optimization
13742	+ improve hashmap.c by
13743	  1.  fixed loop condition in grow_hunks()
13744	  2.  not marking lines with offset 0
13745	  3.  fixed condition of 'too far' criteria, thus one-line hunks are
13746	  ignored and two lines interchanged won't pass.
13747	+ rewrote/simplified _nc_scroll_optimize() by separating into two
13748	  passes, forward/backward, looking for chunks moving only in the given
13749	  direction.
13750	+ move logic that emits sgr0 when initializing the screen to
13751	  _nc_screen_init(), now invoked from newterm.
13752	+ move cursor-movement cleanup from endwin() into _nc_mvcur_wrap()
13753	  function and screen cleanup (i.e., color) into _nc_screen_wrap()
13754	  function.
13755	+ add new functions _nc_screen_init(), _nc_screen_resume() and
13756	  _nc_screen_wrap().
13757	+ rename _nc_mvcur_scrolln() to _nc_scrolln().
13758	+ add a copy of acs_map[] to the SCREEN structure, where it can be
13759	  stored/retrieved via set_term().
13760	+ move variables _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok, _nc_windows into the SCREEN
13761	  structure.
13762
13763970816
13764	+ implement experimental _nc_perform_scroll().
13765	+ modify newterm (actually _nc_setupscreen()) to emit an sgr0 when
13766	  initializing the screen, as does SVr4 (reported by Alexander V.
13767	  Lukyanov).
13768	+ added test_progs rule to ncurses/Makefile.
13769	+ modify test/configure.in to check if initscr is already in $LIBS
13770	  before looking for (n)curses library.
13771	+ correct version-number in configure script for OSF1 shared-library
13772	  options (patch by Tim Mooney).
13773	+ add -DNDEBUG to CPPFLAGS for --enable-assertions (as Juergen
13774	  originally patched) since the c++ demo files do not necessarily
13775	  include ncurses_cfg.h
13776	+ supply default value for --enable-assertions option in configure
13777	  script (reported by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu>).
13778	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
13779	+ correct/simplify logic of werase(), wclrtoeol() and wclrbot().  See
13780	  example firstlast.c
13781	+ optimize waddch_literal() and waddch_nosync() by factoring out
13782	  common subexpressions.
13783	+ correct sense of NDEBUG ifdef for CHECK_POSITION macro.
13784	+ corrections to render_char(), to make handling of colored blanks
13785	  match SVr4 curses, as well as to correct a bug that xor'd space
13786	  against the background character.
13787	+ replaced hash function with a faster one (timed it)
13788	+ rewrote the hashmap algorithm to be one-pass, this avoids multiple
13789	  cost_effective() calls on the same lines.
13790	+ modified cost_effective() so it is now slightly more precise.
13791	> patches for glibc integration (H.J.Lu):
13792	+ add modules define_key, keyok, name_match, tries
13793	+ add makefile rules for some of the unit tests in ncurses (mvcur,
13794	  captoinfo, hardscroll, hashmap).
13795	+ update Linux configure-script for wide-character definitions.
13796
13797970809
13798	+ modify _tracebits() to show the character size (e.g., CS8).
13799	+ modify tparm() to emit '\200' where the generated string would have a
13800	  null (reported by From:  Ian Dall <Ian.Dall@dsto.defence.gov.au> for
13801	  terminal type ncr7900).
13802	+ modify install process so that ldconfig is not invoked if the
13803	  package is built with an install-prefix.
13804	+ correct test program for chtype size (reported by Tim Mooney).
13805	+ add configure option --disable-scroll-hints, using this to ifdef the
13806	  logic that computes indices for _nc_scroll_optimize().
13807	+ add module ncurses/softscroll.c, to perform single-stage computation
13808	  of scroll indices used in _nc_scroll_optimize().  This is faster than
13809	  the existing scrolling algorithm, but tends to make too-small hunks.
13810	+ eliminate fixed buffer size in _nc_linedump().
13811	+ minor fixes to lib_doupdate.c to add tradeoff between clr_eol (el)
13812	  and clr_bol (el1), refine logic in ClrUpdate() and ClrBottom() (patch
13813	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13814	+ add test/testaddch.c, from a pending patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov.
13815	+ correct processing of "configure --enable-assertions" option (patch
13816	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
13817
13818970802
13819	+ add '-s' (single-step) option too test/hashtest.c, correct an error
13820	  in loop limit for '-f' (footer option), toggle scrollok() when
13821	  writing footer to avoid wrap at lower-right corner.
13822	+ correct behavior of clrtoeol() immediately after wrapping cursor,
13823	  which was not clearing the line at the cursor position (reported by
13824	  Liviu Daia <daia@stoilow.imar.ro>).
13825	+ corrected mapping for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I' rather than 'i'
13826	  (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@tezcat.com>).
13827	+ many corrections to make progs/capconvert work, as well as make it
13828	  reasonably portable and integrated with ncurses 4.1 (reported by Dave
13829	  Furstenau <df@ravine.binary.net>).
13830
13831970726
13832	+ add flag SP->_fifohold, corresponding logic to modify the behavior of
13833	  the line breakout logic so that if the application does not read
13834	  input, refreshes will not be stopped, but only slowed.
13835	+ generate slk_attr_off(), slk_attr_on(), slk_attr_set(), vid_attr(),
13836	  ifdef'd for wide-character support, since ncurses' WA_xxx attribute
13837	  masks are identical with the A_xxx masks.
13838	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to generate ifdef'd functions to support optional
13839	  configuration of wide-characters.
13840	+ modify tset to behave more like SVr4's tset, which does not modify
13841	  the settings of intr, quit or erase unless they are given as command
13842	  options (reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>).
13843	+ modify tset to look in /etc/ttys or /etc/ttytype if the configuration
13844	  does not have getttynam().
13845	+ extend baudrate table in tset.c to match baudrate() function.
13846	+ add table entries for B230400 and B460800 to baudrate() function.
13847	+ improve breakout logic by allowing it before the first line updated,
13848	  which is what SVr4 curses does (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13849	+ correct initialization of vcost in relative_move(), for cursor-down
13850	  case (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13851	> nits gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-3:
13852	+ install symbolic link for intotocap.
13853	+ reference libc directly when making shared libraries.
13854	+ correct renaming of curs_scr_dmp.3x in man_db.renames.
13855	+ guard tgetflag() and other termcap functions against null cur_term
13856	  pointer.
13857
13858970719
13859	+ corrected initial state of software echo (error in 970405, reported
13860	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13861	+ reviewed/added messages to configure script, so that all non-test
13862	  options should be accompanied by a message.
13863	+ add configure check for long filenames, using this to determine if
13864	  it is safe to allow long aliases for terminal descriptions as does
13865	  SVr4.
13866	+ add configure options for widec (wide character), hashmap (both
13867	  experimental).
13868	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
13869	+ hashmap.c - improved by heuristic, so that scroll test works much
13870	  better when csr is not available.
13871	+ hardscroll.c - patched so that it continues to scroll other chunks
13872	  after failure to scroll one.
13873	+ lib_doupdate.c - _nc_mvcur_scrolln extended to handle more cases; csr
13874	  is avoided as it is relative costly.  Fixed wrong coordinates in one
13875	  case and wrong string in TRACE.
13876	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
13877	+ modify C++ binding to compile on AIX 4.x with the IBM C-SET++
13878	  compiler.
13879
13880970712
13881	+ remove alternate character set from kterm terminfo entry; it uses the
13882	  shift-out control for a purpose incompatible with curses, i.e., font
13883	  switching.
13884	+ disentangle 'xterm' terminfo entry from some derived entries that
13885	  should be based on xterm-r6 instead.
13886	+ add cbt to xterm-xf86-xv32 terminfo entry; I added the emulation for
13887	  XFree86 3.1.2F, but overlooked its use in terminfo then - T.Dickey.
13888	+ correct logic in lib_mvcur.c that uses back_tab.
13889
13890970706
13891	+ correct change from 970628 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
13892	  contents of curscr are saved in newscr before clearing the screen.
13893	  This is needed to make repainting work with the present logic of
13894	  TransformLine().
13895	+ use napms() rather than sleep() in tset.c to avoid interrupting I/O.
13896
13897970705
13898	+ add limit checks to _nc_read_file_entry() to guard against overflow
13899	  of buffer when reading incompatible terminfo format, e.g, from OSF/1.
13900	+ correct some loop-variable errors in xmc support in lib_doupdate.c
13901	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to add gaps, specified by user, to allow
13902	  investigation of interaction with xmc (magic cookie) code.
13903	+ correct typo in 970524 mods to xmas.c, had omitted empty parameter
13904	  list from has_colors(), which gcc ignores, but SVr4 does not
13905	  (reported by Larry Virden).
13906	+ correct rmso capability in wy50-mc description.
13907	+ add configure option "--enable-hard-tabs", renamed TABS_OK ifdef to
13908	  USE_HARD_TABS.
13909	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
13910	+ Add bindings for keyok() and define_key() to the Ada95 packages.
13911	+ Improve man pages menu_post.3x and menu_format.3x
13912	+ Fix the HTML pages in the Ada95/html directory to reflect the above
13913	  changes.
13914
13915970628
13916	+ modify change from 970101 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
13917	  pending changes to both curscr and newscr are flushed properly.
13918	  This fixes a case where the first scrolling operation in nvi would
13919	  cause the screen to be cleared unnecessarily and repainted before
13920	  doing the indexing, i.e., by repeatedly pressing 'j' (reported by
13921	  Juergen Pfeifer).
13922	+ correct error in trans_string() which added embedded newlines in a
13923	  terminfo description to the stored strings.
13924	+ remove spurious newlines from sgr in wyse50 (and several other)
13925	  terminfo descriptions.
13926	+ add configure option for experimental xmc (magic cookie) code,
13927	  "--enable-xmc-glitch".  When disabled (the default), attributes that
13928	  would store a magic cookie are suppressed in vidputs().  The magic
13929	  cookie code is far from workable at this stage; the configuration
13930	  option is a stopgap.
13931	+ move _nc_initscr() from lib_initscr.c to lib_newterm.c
13932	+ correct path for invoking make_keys (a missing "./").
13933
13934970621
13935	+ correct sign-extension problem with "infocmp -e", which corrupted
13936	  acsc values computed for linux fallback data.
13937	+ correct dependency on ncurses/names.c (a missing "./").
13938	+ modify configure script to use '&&' even for cd'ing to existing
13939	  directories to work around broken shell interpreters.
13940	+ correct a loop-limit in _nc_hash_map() (patch by Alexander V.
13941	  Lukyanov).
13942
13943970615
13944	+ restore logic in _nc_scroll_optimize() which marks as touched the
13945	  lines in curscr that are shifted.
13946	+ add new utility 'make_keys' to compute keys.tries as a table rather
13947	  than a series of function calls.
13948	+ correct include-dependency for tic.h used by name_match
13949	+ removed buffer-allocation for name and description from m_item_new.c,
13950	  since this might result in incompatibilities with SVr4.  Also fixed
13951	  the corresponding Ada95 binding module (patch by Juergen Pfeifer,
13952	  report by Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@foxnet.net>)
13953	+ removed the mechanism to timestamp the generated Ada95 sources.  This
13954	  resulted always in generating patches for the HTML doc, even when
13955	  nothing really changed (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
13956	+ improve man page mitem_new.3x (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
13957
13958970614
13959	+ remove ech capability from rxvt description because it does not work.
13960	+ add missing case logic for infocmp -I option (reported by Lorenzo M.
13961	  Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>)
13962	+ correct old bug in pnoutrefresh() unmasked by fix in 970531; this
13963	  caused glitches in the ncurses 'p' test since the area outside the
13964	  pad was not compared when setting up indices for _nc_scroll_optimize.
13965	+ rewrote tracebits() to workaround misdefinition of TOSTOP on Ultrix
13966	  4.4, as well as to eliminate fixed-size buffer (reported by Chris
13967	  Tanner <tannerc@aecl.ca>)
13968	+ correct prototype for termattrs() as per XPG4 version 2.
13969	+ add placeholder prototypes for color_set(), erasewchar(),
13970	  term_attrs(), wcolor_set() as per XPG4 version 2.
13971	+ correct attribution for progs/progs.priv.h and lib_twait.c
13972	+ improve line-breakout logic by checking based on changed lines rather
13973	  than total lines (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13974	+ correct loop limits for table-lookup of enumerated value in form
13975	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
13976	+ improve threshold computation for determining when to call ClrToEOL
13977	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13978
13979970531
13980	+ add configure option --disable-database to force the library to
13981	  use only the fallback data.
13982	+ add configure option --with-fallbacks, to specify list of fallback
13983	  terminal descriptions.
13984	+ add a symbolic link for ncurses.h during install; too many programs
13985	  still assume there's an ncurses.h
13986	+ add new terminfo.src entry for xterm-xf86-v33.
13987	+ restore terminfo.src entry for emu to using setf/setb, since it is
13988	  not, after all, generating ANSI sequences.  Corrected missing comma
13989	  that caused setf/setb entries to merge.
13990	+ modify mousemask() to use keyok() to enable/disable KEY_MOUSE, so
13991	  that applications can disable ncurses' mouse and supply their own
13992	  handler.
13993	+ add extensions keyok() and define_key().  These are designed to allow
13994	  the user's application better control over the use of function keys,
13995	  e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE.  (The define_key idea was from
13996	  a mailing-list thread started by Kenneth Albanowski
13997	  <kjahds@kjahds.com> Nov'1995).
13998	+ restore original behavior in ncurses 'g' test, i.e., explicitly
13999	  set the keypad mode rather than use the default, since it confuses
14000	  people.
14001	+ rewrote the newdemo banner so it's readable (reported by Hugh
14002	  Daniel).
14003	+ tidy up exit from hashtest (reported by Hugh Daniel).
14004	+ restore check for ^Q in ncurses 'g' test broken in 970510 (reported
14005	  by Hugh Daniel)
14006	+ correct tput program, checking return-value of setupterm (patch by
14007	  Florian La Roche).
14008	+ correct logic in pnoutrefresh() and pechochar() functions (reported
14009	  by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf.usc.edu>).  The computation
14010	  of 'wide' date to eric's #283 (1.9.9), and the pechochar bug to the
14011	  original implementation (1.9.6).
14012	+ correct typo in vt102-w terminfo.src entry (patch by Robert Wuest
14013	  <rwuest@sire.vt.com>)
14014	+ move calls of _nc_background() out of various loops, as its return
14015	  value will be the same for the whole window being operated on (patch
14016	  by J T Conklin).
14017	+ add macros getcur[xy] getbeg[xy] getpar[xy], which are defined in
14018	  SVr4 headers (patch by J T Conklin <jtc@NetBSD.ORG>)
14019	+ modify glibc addon-configure scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
14020	+ correct a bug in hashmap.c: the size used for clearing the hashmap
14021	  table was incorrect, causing stack corruption for large values of
14022	  LINES, e.g., >MAXLINES/2 (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14023	+ eric's terminfo 9.13.23 & 9.13.24 changes: replaced minitel-2 entry,
14024	  added MGR, ansi-nt (note: the changes described for 9.13.24 have not
14025	  been applied).
14026	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
14027	+ correct a missing error-return in form_driver.c when wrapping of a
14028	  field is not possible.
14029	+ correct logic in form_driver.c for configurations that do not have
14030	  memccpy() (reported by Sidik Isani <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
14031	+ change several c++ binding functions to inline.
14032	+ modify c++ menu binding to inherit from panels, for proper
14033	  initialization.
14034	+ correct freeing of menu items in c++ binding.
14035	+ modify c++ binding to reflect removal of const from user data pointer
14036	  in forms/menus libraries.
14037
14038970524
14039	+ add description of xterm-16color.
14040	+ modify name of shared-library on *BSD to end with $(REL_VERSION)
14041	  rather than $(ABI_VERSION) to match actual convention on FreeBSD
14042	  (cf: 960713).
14043	+ add OpenBSD to shared-library case, same as NetBSD and FreeBSD
14044	  (reported by Hugh Daniel <hugh@rat.toad.com>).
14045	+ corrected include-dependency in menu/Makefile so that "make install"
14046	  works properly w/o first doing "make".
14047	+ add fallback definition for isascii, used in infocmp.
14048	+ modify xmas to use color, and to exit right away when a key is
14049	  pressed.
14050	+ modify gdc so that the scrolled digits function as described (there
14051	  was no time delay between the stages, and the digits overwrote the
14052	  bounding box without tidying up).
14053	+ modify lib_color.c to use setaf/setab only for the ANSI color codes
14054	  0 through 7.  Using 16 colors requires setf/setb.
14055	+ modify ncurses 'c' test to work with 16 colors, as well as the normal
14056	  8 colors.
14057	+ remove const qualifier from user data pointer in forms and menus
14058	  libraries (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
14059	+ rewrote 'waddchnstr()' to avoid using the _nc_waddch_nosync()
14060	  function, thereby not interpreting tabs, etc., as per spec (patch by
14061	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14062
14063970517
14064	+ suppress check for pre-existing ncurses header if the --prefix
14065	  option is specified.
14066	+ add configure options "--with-system-type" and
14067	  "--with-system-release" to assist in checking the generated
14068	  makefiles.
14069	+ add configure option "--enable-rpath" to allow installers to specify
14070	  that programs linked against shared libraries will have their library
14071	  path embedded, allowing installs into nonstandard locations.
14072	+ add flags to OSF1 shared-library options to specify version and
14073	  symbol file (patch by Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>)
14074	+ add missing definition for ABI_VERSION to c++/Makefile.in (reported
14075	  by Satoshi Adachi <adachi@wisdom.aa.ap.titech.ac.jp>).
14076	+ modify link flags to accommodate HP-UX linker which embeds absolute
14077	  pathnames in executables linked against shared libraries (reported by
14078	  Jason Evans <jasone@mrc.uidaho.edu>, solved by Alan Shutko
14079	  <ats@hubert.wustl.edu>).
14080	+ drop unnecessary check for attribute-change in onscreen_mvcur() since
14081	  mvcur() is the only caller within the library, and that check in turn
14082	  is exercised only from lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
14083	  Lukyanov).
14084	+ add 'blank' parameter to _nc_scroll_window() so _nc_mvcur_scrolln()
14085	  can use the background of stdscr as a parameter to that function
14086	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14087	+ moved _nc_mvcur_scrolln() from lib_mvcur.c to lib_doupdate.c, to use
14088	  the latter's internal functions, as well as to eliminate unnecessary
14089	  cursor save/restore operations (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14090	+ omit parameter of ClrUpdate(), since it is called only for newscr,
14091	  further optimized/reduced by using ClearScreen() and TransformLine()
14092	  to get rid of duplicate code (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14093	+ modify scrolling algorithm in _nc_scroll_optimize() to reject hunks
14094	  that are smaller than the distance to be moved (patch by Alexander V.
14095	  Lukyanov).
14096	+ correct a place where the panel library was not ifdef'd in ncurses.c
14097	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
14098	+ documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer)
14099
14100970515	4.1 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
14101	+ re-tag changes since 970505 as 4.1 release.
14102
14103970510
14104	+ modify ncurses 'g' test to allow mouse input
14105	+ modify default xterm description to include mouse.
14106	+ modify configure script to add -Wwrite-strings if gcc warnings are
14107	  enabled while configuring --enable-const (and fixed related
14108	  warnings).
14109	+ add toggle, status display for keypad mode to ncurses 'g' test to
14110	  verify that keypad and scrollok are not inherited from parent window
14111	  during a call to newwin.
14112	+ correction to MKexpanded.sh to make it work when configure --srcdir
14113	  is used (reported by H.J.Lu).
14114	+ revise test for bool-type, ensuring that it checks if builtin.h is
14115	  available before including it, adding test for sizeof(bool) equal
14116	  to sizeof(short), and warning user if the size cannot be determined
14117	  (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14118	+ add files to support configuration of ncurses as an add-on library
14119	  for GNU libc (patch by H.J.Lu <hjl@lucon.org>)
14120
14121970506
14122	+ correct buffer overrun in lib_traceatr.c
14123	+ modify change to lib_vidattr.c to avoid redundant orig_pair.
14124	+ turn on 'echo()' in hanoi.c, since it is initially off.
14125	+ rename local 'errno' variable in etip.h to avoid conflict with global
14126	  (H.J.Lu).
14127	+ modify configure script to cache LD, AR, AR_OPTS (patch by H.J.Lu
14128	  <hjl@lucon.org>)
14129
14130970505	4.1 pre-release
14131	+ regenerate the misc directory html dumps without the link list, which
14132	  is not useful.
14133	+ correct dependency in form directory makefile which caused
14134	  unnecessary recompiles.
14135	+ correct substitution for ABI_VERSION in test-makefile
14136	+ modify install rules for shared-library targets to remove the target
14137	  before installing, since some install programs do not properly handle
14138	  overwrite of symbolic links.
14139	+ change order of top-level targets so that 'include' immediate
14140	  precedes the 'ncurses' directory, reducing the time between new
14141	  headers and new libraries (requested by Larry Virden).
14142	+ modify lib_vidattr.c so that colors are turned off only before
14143	  modifying other attributes, turned on after others.  This makes the
14144	  hanoi.c program display correctly on FreeBSD console.
14145	+ modify debug code in panel library to print user-data addresses
14146	  rather than the strings which they (may) point to.
14147	+ add check to ensure that C++ binding and demo are not built with g++
14148	  versions below 2.7, since the binding uses templates.
14149	+ modify c++ binding and demo to build and run with SGI's c++ compiler.
14150	  (It also compiles with the Sun SparcWorks compiler, but the demo does
14151	  not link, due to a vtbl problem).
14152	+ corrections to demo.cc, to fix out-of-scope variables (Juergen
14153	  Pfeifer).
14154
14155970503
14156	+ correct memory leak in _nc_trace_buf().
14157	+ add configure test for regexpr.h, for Unixware 1.x.
14158	+ correct missing "./" prefixing names of generated files in ncurses
14159	  directory.
14160	+ use single-quotes in configure scripts assignments for MK_SHARED_LIB
14161	  to workaround shell bug on FreeBSD 2.1.5
14162	+ remove tabs from intermediate #define's for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF
14163	  that caused incorrect result in ncurses_cfg.h
14164	+ correct initialization in lib_trace.c, which omitted version info.
14165	+ remove ech, el1 attributes from cons25w description; they appear to
14166	  malfunction in FreeBSD 2.1.5
14167	+ correct color attributes in terminfo.src and lib_color.c to match
14168	  SVr4 behavior by interchanging codes 1,4, 3,6 in the setf/setb
14169	  capabilities.
14170	+ use curs_set() rather than checks via tigetstr() for test programs
14171	  that hide the cursor: firework, rain, worm.
14172	+ ensure that if the terminal lacks change_scroll_region, parm_index
14173	  and parm_rindex are used only to scroll the whole screen (patch by
14174	  Peter Wemm).
14175	+ correct curs_set() logic, which did not return ERR if the requested
14176	  attributes did not exist, nor did it assume an unknown initial state
14177	  for the cursor (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14178	+ combine IDcTransformLine and NoIDcTransformLine to new TransformLine
14179	  function in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14180	+ correct hashmap.c, which did not update index information (patch by
14181	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
14182	+ fixes for C++ binding and demo (see c++/NEWS) (Juergen Pfeifer).
14183	+ correct index in lib_instr.c (Juergen Pfeifer).
14184	+ correct typo in 970426 patch from Tom's cleanup of lib_overlay.c
14185	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
14186
14187970426
14188	+ corrected cost computation in PutRange(), which was using
14189	  milliseconds compared to characters by adding two new members to the
14190	  SCREEN struct, _hpa_ch_cost and _cup_ch_cost.
14191	+ drop ncurses/lib_unctrl.c, add ncurses/MKunctrl.awk to generate a
14192	  const array of strings (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).  The
14193	  original suggestion in 970118 used a perl script.
14194	+ rewrote ncurses 'b' test to better exercise magic-cookie (xmc), as
14195	  well as noting the attributes that are not supported by a terminal.
14196	+ trace the computation of cost values in lib_mvcur.c
14197	+ modify _nc_visbuf() to use octal rather than hex, corrected sign
14198	  extension bug in that function that caused buffer overflow.
14199	+ modify trace in lib_acs.c to use _nc_visbuf().
14200	+ suppress trace within _traceattr2().
14201	+ correct logic of _tracechtype2(), which did not account for repeats
14202	  or redefinition within an acsc string.
14203	+ modify debug-library version baudrate() to use environment variable
14204	  $BAUDRATE to override speed computation.  This is needed for
14205	  regression testing.
14206	+ correct problems shown by "weblint -pedantic".
14207	+ update mailing-list information (now ncurses@bsdi.com).
14208
14209970419
14210	+ Improve form_field_validation.3x manpage to better describe the
14211	  precision parameter for TYPE_NUMERIC and TYPE_INTEGER.  Provide more
14212	  precise information how the range checking can be avoided.  (patch by
14213	  Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan Henderson)
14214	+ change type of min/max value of form types TYPE_INTEGER to long to
14215	  match SVr4 documentation.
14216	+ set the form window to stdscr in set_form_win() so that form_win()
14217	  won't return null (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan
14218	  Henderson <bryanh@giraffe.netgate.net>).
14219
14220970412
14221	+ corrected ifdef'ing of inline (cf: 970321) for TRACE vs C++.
14222	+ corrected toggle_attr_off() macro (patch by Andries Brouwer).
14223	+ modify treatment of empty token in $MANPATH to /usr/man (reported by
14224	  <Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>)
14225	+ modify traces that record functions-called so that chtype and attr_t
14226	  values are expressed symbolically, to simplify reuse of generated
14227	  test-scripts on SVr4 regression testing.
14228	+ add new trace functions _traceattr2() and _tracechtype2()
14229
14230970405
14231	+ add configure option --enable-const, to support the use of 'const'
14232	  where XSI should have, but did not, specify.  This defines
14233	  NCURSES_CONST, which is an empty token otherwise, for strict
14234	  compatibility.
14235	+ make processing of configure options more verbose by echoing the
14236	  --enable/--with values.
14237	+ add configure option --enable-big-core
14238	+ set initial state of software echo off as per XSI.
14239	+ check for C++ builtin.h header
14240	+ correct computation of absolute-path for $INSTALL that dropped "-c"
14241	  parameter from the expression.
14242	+ rename config.h to ncurses_cfg.h to avoid naming-conflict when
14243	  ncurses is integrated into larger systems (adapted from diffs by
14244	  H.J.Lu for libc).
14245	+ correct inequality in lib_doupdate.c that caused a single-char to not
14246	  be updated when the char on the right-margin was not blank, idcok()
14247	  was true (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov (in 970124), reported
14248	  by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu> in 970329).
14249	+ modify 'clean' rule in include/Makefile so that files created by
14250	  configure script are removed in 'distclean' rule instead.
14251
14252970328
14253	+ correct array limit in tparam_internal(), add case to interpret "%x"
14254	  (patch by Andreas Schwab)
14255	+ rewrote number-parsing in ncurses.c 'd' test; it did not reset the
14256	  value properly when non-numeric characters were given (reported by
14257	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
14258
14259970321
14260	+ move definition of __INTERNAL_CAPS_VISIBLE before include for
14261	  progs.priv.h (patch by David MacKenzie).
14262	+ add configuration summary, reordered check for default include
14263	  directory to better accommodate a case where installer is configuring
14264	  a second copy of ncurses (reported by Klaus Weide
14265	  <kweide@tezcat.com>)
14266	+ moved the #define for 'inline' as an empty token from the
14267	  $(CFLAGS_DEBUG) symbol into config.h, to avoid redefinition warning
14268	  (reported by Ward Horner).
14269	+ modify test for bool builtin type to use 'unsigned' rather than
14270	  'unknown' when cross-compiling (reported by Ward Horner).
14271
14272970315
14273	+ add header dependencies so that "make install.libs" will succeed
14274	  even if "make all" is not done first.
14275	+ moved some macros from lib_doupdate.c to curses.priv.h to use in
14276	  expanded functions with ATAC.
14277	+ correct implementation of lib_instr.c; both XSI and SVr4 agree that
14278	  the winnstr functions can return more characters than will fit on one
14279	  line.
14280
14281970308
14282	+ modify script that generates lib_gen.c to support traces of called &
14283	  return.
14284	+ add new configure option "--disable-macros", for testing calls within
14285	  lib_gen.c
14286	+ corrected logic that screens level-checking of called/return traces.
14287
14288970301
14289	+ use new configure macro NC_SUBST to replace AC_PATH_PROG, better
14290	  addressing request by Ward Horner.
14291	+ check for cross-compiling before trying to invoke the autoconf
14292	  AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED macro (reported by Ward Horner)
14293	+ correct/simplify loop in _nc_visbuf(), 970201 changes omitted
14294	  a pointer-increment.
14295	+ eliminate obsolete symbol SHARED_ABI from dist.mk (noted by
14296	  Florian La Roche).
14297
14298970215
14299	+ add configure option --enable-expanded, together with code that
14300	  implements an expanded form of certain complex macros, for testing
14301	  with ATAC.
14302	+ disable CHECK_POSITION unless --with-assertions is configured
14303	  (Alexander V Lukyanov pointed out that this is redundant).
14304	+ use keyname() to show traced chtype values where applicable rather
14305	  than _tracechar(), which truncates the value to 8-bits.
14306	+ minor fixes to TRACE_ICALLS, added T_CREATE, TRACE_CCALLS macros.
14307	+ modify makefiles in progs and test directories to avoid using C
14308	  preprocessor options on link commands (reported by Ward Horner)
14309	+ correct ifdef/include-order for nc_alloc.h vs lib_freeall.c (reported
14310	  by Ward Horner)
14311	+ modify ifdef's to use configure-defined symbols consistently
14312	  (reported by Ward Horner)
14313	+ add/use new makefile symbols AR, AR_OPTS and LD to assist in non-UNIX
14314	  ports (reported by Ward Horner <whorner@tsi-telsys.com>)
14315	+ rename struct try to struct tries, to avoid name conflict with C++
14316	  (reported by Gary Johnson).
14317	+ modify worm.c to hide cursor while running.
14318	+ add -Wcast-qual to gcc warnings, fix accordingly.
14319	+ use PutChar rather than PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to properly handle
14320	  wrapping (Alexander V Lukyanov).
14321	+ correct spurious echoing of input in hanoi.c from eric's #291 & #292
14322	  patches (reported by Vernon C. Hoxie <vern@zebra.alphacdc.com>).
14323	+ extend IRIX configuration to IRIX64
14324	+ supply missing install.libs rule needed after restructuring
14325	  test/Makefile.in
14326
14327970208
14328	+ modify "make mostlyclean" to leave automatically-generated source
14329	  in the ncurses directory, for use in cross-compiles.
14330	+ autogenerated object-dependencies for test directory
14331	+ add configure option --with-rcs-ids
14332	+ modify configuration scripts to generate major/minor/patch versions
14333	  (suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
14334	+ supply missing va_end's in lib_scanw.c
14335	+ use stream I/O for trace-output, to eliminate fixed-size buffer
14336	+ add TRACE_ICALLS definition/support to lib_trace.c
14337	+ modify Ada95 binding to work with GNAT 3.09 (Juergen Pfeifer).
14338
14339970201
14340	+ add/modify traces for called/return values to simplify extraction
14341	  for test scripts.
14342	+ changed _nc_visbuf to quote its result, and to dynamically allocate
14343	  the returned buffer.
14344	+ invoke ldconfig after installing shared library
14345	+ modify install so that overwrite applies to shared library -lcurses
14346	  in preference to static library (reported by Zeyd M Ben-Halim 960928).
14347	+ correct missing ';' in 961221 mod to overwrite optional use of $(LN_S)
14348	  symbol.
14349	+ fixes to allow "make install" to work without first doing a "make
14350	  all" (suggested by Larry Virden).
14351
14352970125
14353	+ correct order of #ifdef for TABS_OK.
14354	+ instrumented toe.c to test memory-leaks.
14355	+ correct memory-deallocation in toe.c (patch by Jesse Thilo).
14356	+ include <sys/types.h> in configuration test for regex.h (patch by
14357	  Andreas Schwab)
14358	+ make infocmp recognize -I option, for SVr4 compatibility (reported by
14359	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
14360
14361970118
14362	+ add extension 'use_default_colors()', modified test applications that
14363	  use default background (firework, gdc, hanoi, knight, worm) to
14364	  demonstrate.
14365	+ correct some limit checks in lib_doupdate.c exposed while running
14366	  worm.
14367	+ use typeCalloc macro for readability.
14368	+ add/use definition for CONST to accommodate testing with Solaris
14369	  (SVr4) curses, which doesn't use 'const' in its prototypes.
14370	+ modify ifdef's in test/hashtest.c and test/view.c to compile with
14371	  Solaris curses.
14372	+ modify _tracedump() to pad colors & attrs lines to match change
14373	  in 970101 showing first/last changes.
14374	+ corrected location of terminating null on dynamically allocated forms
14375	  fields (patch by Per Foreby).
14376
14377970111
14378	+ added headers to make view.c compile on SCO with the resizeterm()
14379	  code (i.e., struct winsize) - though this compiles, I don't have a
14380	  suitable test configuration since SIGWINCH doesn't pass my network to
14381	  that machine - T.Dickey.
14382	+ update test/configure.in to supply some default substitutions.
14383	+ modify configure script to add -lncurses after -lgpm to fix problem
14384	  linking against static libraries.
14385	+ add a missing noraw() to test/ncurses.c (places noted by Jeremy
14386	  Buhler)
14387	+ add a missing wclear() to test/testcurs.c (patch by Jeremy Buhler
14388	  <jbuhler@cs.washington.edu>)
14389	+ modify headers to accommodate compilers that don't allow duplicate
14390	  "#define" lines for NCURSES_VERSION (reported by Larry W. Virden
14391	  <lvirden@cas.org>)
14392	+ fix formatting glitch in curs_getch.3x (patch by Jesse Thilo).
14393	+ modify lib_doupdate to make el, el1 and ed optimization use the
14394	  can_clear_with macro, and change EmitRange to allow leaving cursor at
14395	  the middle of interval, rather than always at the end (patch by
14396	  Alexander V Lukyanov).  This was originally 960929, resync 970106.
14397
14398970104
14399	+ workaround defect in autoconf 2.12 (which terminates configuration
14400	  if no C++ compiler is found) by adding an option --without-cxx.
14401	+ modify several man-pages to use tbl, where .nf/.fi was used (reported
14402	  by Jesse Thilo).
14403	+ correct font-codes in some man-pages (patch by Jesse Thilo
14404	  <Jesse.Thilo@pobox.com>)
14405	+ use configure script's knowledge of existence of g++ library for the
14406	  c++ Makefile (reported by Paul Jackson).
14407	+ correct misleading description of --datadir configuration option
14408	  (reported by Paul Jackson <pj@sam.engr.sgi.com>)
14409
14410970101
14411	+ several corrections to _nc_mvcur_scrolln(), prompted by a bug report
14412	  from Peter Wemm:
14413	> the logic for non_dest_scroll_region was interchanged between the
14414	  forward & reverse scrolling cases.
14415	> multiple returns from the function allowed certain conditions to do
14416	  part of an operation before discovering that it couldn't be
14417	  completed, returning an error without restoring the cursor.
14418	> some returns were ERR, where the function had completed the
14419	  operation, because the insert/delete line logic was improperly
14420	  tested (this was probably the case Peter saw).
14421	> contrary to comments, some scrolling cases were tested after the
14422	  insert/delete line method.
14423	+ modify _tracedump() to show first/last changes.
14424	+ modify param of ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c to 'newscr', fixes
14425	  refresh problem (reported by Peter Wemm) that caused nvi to not show
14426	  result of ":r !ls" until a ^L was typed.
14427
14428961229	(internal alpha)
14429	+ correct some of the writable-strings warnings (reported by Gary
14430	  Johnson <gjohnson@season.com>).  Note that most of the remaining ones
14431	  are part of the XSI specification, and can't be "fixed".
14432	+ improve include-dependencies in form, menu, panel directories.
14433	+ correct logic of delay_output(), which would return early if
14434	  there is data on stdin.
14435	+ modify interface & logic of _nc_timed_wait() to support 2 file
14436	  descriptors, needed for GPM.
14437	+ integrate patch by Andrew Kuchling <amk@magnet.com> for GPM (mouse)
14438	  support, correcting logic in wgetch() and _nc_mouse_parse() which
14439	  prevented patch from working properly -TD
14440	+ improve performance of panel algorithm (Juergen Pfeifer 961203).
14441	+ strip RCS id's from generated .html files in Ada95 subtree.
14442	+ resync with generated .html files (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
14443	+ terminfo.src 10.1.0 (ESR).
14444
14445961224	4.0 release
14446	+ release as 4.0 to accommodate Linux ld.so.1.8.5
14447	+ correct syntax/spelling, regenerated .doc files from .html using
14448	  lynx 2.5
14449	+ refined forms/menus makefiles (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
14450
14451961221	- snapshot
14452	+ remove logic in read_entry.c that attempts to refine errno by using
14453	  'access()' for the directory (from patch by Florian La Roche).
14454	+ correct configure test/substitution that inhibits generating
14455	  include-path to /usr/include if gcc is used (reported by Florian La
14456	  Roche).
14457	+ modify setupterm() to allocate new TERMINAL for each call, just as
14458	  solaris' curses does (Alexander V Lukyanov 960829).
14459	+ corrected memory leaks in read_entry.c
14460	+ add configure options --with-dbmalloc, --with-dmalloc, and
14461	  --disable-leaks, tested by instrumenting infocmp, ncurses programs.
14462	+ move #include's for stdlib.h and string.h to *.priv.h to accommodate
14463	  use of dbmalloc.
14464	+ modify use of $(LN_S) to follow recommendation in autoconf 2.12,
14465	  i.e., set current directory before linking.
14466	+ split-out panel.priv.h, improve dependencies for forms, menus
14467	  (Juergen Pfeifer 961204).
14468	+ modify _nc_freewin() to reset globals curscr/newscr/stdscr when
14469	  freeing the corresponding WINDOW (found using Purify).
14470	+ modify delwin() to return ERR if the window to be deleted has
14471	  subwindows, needed as a side-effect of resizeterm() (found using
14472	  Purify).  Tested and found that SVr4 curses behaves this way.
14473	+ implement logic for _nc_freeall(), bringing stub up to date.
14474
14475961215
14476	+ modify wbkgd() so that it doesn't set nulls in the rendered text,
14477	  even if its argument doesn't specify a character (fixes test case by
14478	  Juergen Pfeifer for bug-report).
14479	+ set window-attributes in wbkgd(), to simplify comparison against
14480	  Solaris curses, which does this.
14481
14482961214	- snapshot
14483	+ replace most constants in ncurses 'o' test by expressions, making it
14484	  work with wider range of screen sizes.
14485	+ add options to ncurses.c to specify 'e' test softkey format, and the
14486	  number of header/footer lines to rip-off.
14487	+ add ^R (repaint after resize), ^L (refresh) commands to ncurses 'p'
14488	  test.
14489	+ add shell-out (!) command to ncurses 'p' test to allow test of
14490	  resize between endwin/refresh.
14491	+ correct line-wrap case in mvcur() by emitting carriage return,
14492	  overlooked in 960928, but needed due to SVr4 compatibility changes to
14493	  terminal modes in 960907.
14494	+ correct logic in wresize that causes new lines to be allocated,
14495	  broken for the special case of increasing rows only in 960907's fix
14496	  for subwindows.
14497	+ modify configure script to generate $(LDFLAGS) with -L and -l options
14498	  in preference to explicit library filenames.  (NOTE: this may
14499	  require further amending, since I vaguely recall a dynamic loader
14500	  that did not work properly without the full names, but it should be
14501	  handled as an exception to the rule, since some linkers do bulk
14502	  inclusion of libraries when given the full name - T.Dickey).
14503	+ modify configure script to allow user-supplied $CFLAGS to set the
14504	  debug-option in all libraries (requested by lots of people) -TD
14505	+ use return consistently from main(), rather than exit (reported by
14506	  Florian La Roche).
14507	+ add --enable-getcap-cache option to configure, normally disabled
14508	  (requested by Florian La Roche).
14509	+ make configure test for gettimeofday() and possibly -lbsd more
14510	  efficient (requested by Florian La Roche <florian@knorke.saar.de>)
14511	+ minor adjustments to Ada95 binding (patches by Juergen Pfeifer)
14512	+ correct attributes after emitting orig_pair in lib_vidattr.c (patch
14513	  by Alexander V Lukyanov).
14514
14515961208
14516	+ corrected README wrt Ada95 (Juergen Pfeifer)
14517
14518961207	- snapshot
14519	+ integrate resizeterm() into doupdate(), so that if screen size
14520	  changes between endwin/refresh, ncurses will resize windows to fit
14521	  (this needs additional testing with pads and softkeys).
14522	+ add, for memory-leak testing, _nc_freeall() entrypoint to free all
14523	  data used in ncurses library.
14524	+ initialize _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok statically to resolve discrepancy
14525	  between initscr() and newwin() initialization (reported by
14526	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
14527	+ test built VERSION=4.0, SHARED_ABI=4 with Linux ld.so.1.8.5
14528	  (set beta versions to those values -- NOTE that subsequent pre-4.0
14529	  beta may not be interchangeable).
14530	+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.12
14531
14532961130	1.9.9g release
14533	+ add copyright notices to configuration scripts (written by Thomas
14534	  Dickey).
14535
14536961127
14537	> patch, mostly for panel (Juergen Pfeifer):
14538	+ cosmetic improvement for a few routines in the ncurses core library
14539	  to avoid warning messages.
14540	+ the panel overlap detection was broken
14541	+ the panel_window() function was not fool-proof.
14542	+ Some inlining...
14543	+ Cosmetic changes (also to avoid warning messages when compiling with
14544	  -DTRACE).
14545
14546961126
14547	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
14548	+ eliminates warning messages for the compile of libform.
14549	+ inserts Per Foreby's new field type TYPE_IPV4 into libform.
14550	+ Updates man page and the Ada95 binding to reflect this.
14551	+ Improves inlining in libmenu and libform.
14552
14553961120
14554	+ improve the use of the "const" qualifier in the
14555	  panel library (Juergen Pfeifer)
14556	+ change set_panel_userptr() and panel_userptr() to use void*
14557	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
14558
14559961119
14560	+ change ABI to 3.4
14561	+ package with 961119 version of Ada95 binding (fixes for gnat-3.07).
14562	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
14563	+ correct initialization of the stdscr pseudo panel in panel library
14564	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
14565	+ use MODULE_ID (rcs keywords) in forms and menus libraries (Juergen
14566	  Pfeifer).
14567	> patch #324 (ESR):
14568	+ typo in curs_termcap man page (reported by Hendrik Reichel
14569	  <106065.2344@compuserve.com>)
14570	+ change default xterm entry to xterm-r6.
14571	+ add entry for color_xterm
14572
14573961116	- snapshot
14574	+ lint found several functions that had only #define implementations
14575	  (e.g., attr_off), modified curses.h.in to generate them as per XSI
14576	  Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
14577	+ add check in infocmp.c to guard against string compare of
14578	  CANCELLED_STRING values.
14579	+ modify firework.c, rain.c to hide cursor while running.
14580	+ correct missing va_end in lib_tparm.c
14581	+ modify hanoi.c to work on non-color terminals, and to use timing
14582	  delays when in autoplay mode.
14583	+ correct 'echochar()' to refresh immediately (reported by Adrian
14584	  Garside <94ajg2@eng.cam.ac.uk>)
14585	> patch #322 (ESR):
14586	+ reorganize terminfo.src entries for xterm.
14587
14588961109	- snapshot
14589	+ corrected error in line-breakout logic (lib_doupdate.c)
14590	+ modified newdemo to use wgetch(win) rather than getch() to eliminate
14591	  a spurious clear-screen.
14592	+ corrected ifdef's for 'poll()' configuration.
14593	+ added modules to ncurses, form, menu for Ada95 binding (Juergen
14594	  Pfeifer).
14595	+ modify set_field_buffer() to allow assignment of string longer than
14596	  the initial buffer length, and to return the complete string rather
14597	  than only the initial size (Juergen Pfeifer and Per Foreby
14598	  <perf@efd.lth.se>).
14599
14600961102	- snapshot
14601	+ configure for 'poll()' in preference to 'select()', since older
14602	  systems are more likely to have a broken 'select()'.
14603	+ modified render_char() to avoid OR'ing colors.
14604	+ minor fixes to testcurs.c, newdemo.c test programs: ifdef'd out the
14605	  resize test, use wbkgd and corrected box() parameters.
14606	+ make flushinp() test work in ncurses.c by using napms() instead of
14607	  sleep().
14608	+ undo ESR's changes to xterm-x11r6 (it no longer matched the X11R6.1
14609	  distribution, as stated)
14610	+ terminfo 9.13.18 resync (ESR)
14611	+ check for getenv("HOME") returning null (ESR).
14612	+ change buffer used to decode xterm-mouse commands to unsigned to
14613	  handle displays wider than 128 chars (Juergen Pfeifer).
14614	+ correct typo curs_outopts.3x (Juergen Pfeifer).
14615	+ correct limit-checking in wenclose() (Juergen Pfeifer).
14616	+ correction to Peter Wemm's newwin change (Thomas Fehr
14617	  <fehr@suse.de>).
14618	+ corrections to logic that combines colors and attributes; they must
14619	  not be OR'd (Juergen Pfeifer, extending from report/patch by Rick
14620	  Marshall).
14621
14622961026	- snapshot
14623	+ reset flags in 'getwin()' that might cause refresh to attempt to
14624	  manipulate the non-existent parent of a window that is read from a
14625	  file (lib_screen.c).
14626	+ restructure _nc_timed_wait() to log more information, and to try to
14627	  recover from badly-behaved 'select()' calls (still testing this).
14628	+ move define for GOOD_SELECT into configure script.
14629	+ corrected extra '\' character inserted before ',' in comp_scan.c
14630	+ corrected expansion of %-format characters in dump_entry.c; some were
14631	  rendered as octal constants.
14632	+ modify dump_entry.c to make terminfo output more readable and like
14633	  SVr4, by using "\s" for spaces (leading/trailing only), "\," for
14634	  comma, "\^" and "\:" as well.
14635	+ corrected some memory leaks in ncurses.c, and a minor logic error
14636	  in the top-level command-parser.
14637	+ correction for label format 4 (PC style with info line), a
14638	  slk_clear(), slk_restore() sequence didn't redraw the info line
14639	  (Juergen Pfeifer).
14640	+ modified the slk window (if simulated) to inherit the background and
14641	  default character attributes from stdscr (Juergen Pfeifer).
14642	+ corrected limit-check in set_top_row (Juergen Pfeifer).
14643
14644961019	- snapshot
14645	+ correct loop-limit in wnoutrefresh(), bug exposed during pipe-testing
14646	  had '.lastchar' entry one beyond '._maxx'.
14647	+ modify ncurses test-program to work with data piped to it.
14648	+ corrected pathname computation in run_tic.sh, removing extra "../"
14649	  (reported by Tim Mooney).
14650	+ modified configure script to use previous install's location for
14651	  curses.h
14652	+ added NetBSD and FreeBSD to platforms that use --prefix=/usr as
14653	  a default.
14654
14655961013
14656	+ revised xterm terminfo descriptions to reflect the several versions
14657	  that are available.
14658	+ corrected a pointer reference in dump_entry.c that didn't test if
14659	  the pointer was -1.
14660
14661961005	- snapshot
14662	+ correct _nc_mvcur_scrolln for terminals w/o scrolling region.
14663	+ add -x option to hashtest to control whether it allows writes to the
14664	  lower-right corner.
14665	+ ifdef'd (NCURSES_TEST) the logic for _nc_optimize_enable to make it
14666	  simpler to construct tests (for double-check of _nc_hash_map tests).
14667	+ correct ifdef's for c++ in curses.h
14668	+ change default xterm type to xterm-x11r6.
14669	+ correct quoting in configure that made man-pages installed with
14670	  $datadir instead of actual terminfo path.
14671	+ correct whitespace in include/Caps, which caused kf11, clr_eol and
14672	  clr_end to be omitted from terminfo.5
14673	+ fix memory leaks in delscreen() (adapted from Alexander V Lukyanov).
14674	+ improve appearance of marker in multi-selection menu (Juergen
14675	  Pfeifer)
14676	+ fix behavior for forms with all fields inactive (Juergen Pfeifer)
14677	+ document 'field_index()' (Juergen Pfeifer)
14678	> patch #321 (ESR):
14679	+ add some more XENIX keycap translations to include/Caps.
14680	+ modify newwin to set initial state of each line to 'touched'
14681	  (from patch by Peter Wemm <peter@spinner.dialix.com>)
14682	+ in SET_TTY, replace TCSANOW with TCSADRAIN (Alexander V Lukyanov).
14683
14684960928	- snapshot
14685	+ ifdef'd out _nc_hash_map (still slower)
14686	+ add graphic characters to vt52 description.
14687	+ use PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to ensure proper background, position.
14688	+ simplify/correct logic in 'mvcur()' that does wrapping; it was
14689	  updating the position w/o actually moving the cursor, which broke
14690	  relative moves.
14691	+ ensure that 'doupdate()' sets the .oldindex values back to a sane
14692	  state; this was causing a spurious refresh in ncurses 'r'.
14693	+ add logic to configure (from vile) to guard against builders who
14694	  don't remove config.cache & config.status when doing new builds -TD
14695	+ corrected logic for 'repeat_char' in EmitRange (cf: eric #317), which
14696	  did not follow the 2-parameter scheme specified in XSI.
14697	+ corrected logic of wrefresh, wnoutrefresh broken in #319, making
14698	  clearok work properly (report by Michael Elkins).
14699	+ corrected problem with endwin introduced by #314 (removing the
14700	  scrolling-region reset) that broke ncurses.c tests.
14701	+ corrected order of args in AC_CHECK_LIB (from report by Ami Fischman
14702	  <fischman@math.ucla.edu>).
14703	+ corrected formatting of terminfo.5 tables (Juergen Ehling)
14704	> patch 320 (ESR):
14705	+ change ABI to 3.3
14706	+ emit a carriage-return in 'endwin()' to workaround a kernel bug in
14707	  BSDI.  (requested by Mike Karels <karels@redrock.bsdi.com>)

14719	  output characters.
14720	+ add hashtest.c program to time the hashmap optimization.
14721	> patch 316 (ESR):
14722	+ add logic to deal with magic-cookie (how was this tested?)
14723	  (lib_doupdate.c).
14724	+ add ncurses.c driver for magic-cookie, some fixes to ncurses.c
14725	> patch 315 (ESR):
14726	+ merge changes to lib_doupdate.c to use ech and rep - untested
14727	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).

14738	+ update xterm-color to reflect XFree86 3.1.3G release.
14739	+ correct broken dtterm description from #314 patch (e.g., spurious
14740	  newline.  The 'pairs' change might work, but no one's tested it
14741	  either ;-)
14742	+ clarify the documentation for the builtin form fieldtypes (Juergen
14743	  Pfeifer)
14744	> patch 314 (ESR):

14750	+ Update terminfo.src to 9.13.14.
14751
14752960907	- snapshot

14756	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to accommodate terminal responses to C1 codes
14757	  (and split up this screen to accommodate non-ANSI terminals).
14758	+ test enter_insert_mode and exit_insert_mode in has_ic().
14759	+ removed bogus logic in mvcur that assumes nl/nonl set output modes

14762	+ correct getstr() logic that altered terminal modes w/o restoring.
14763	+ disable ICRNL, etc., during initialization to match SVr4, removing
14764	  the corresponding logic from raw, cbreak, etc.
14765	+ disable ONLCR during initialization, to match SVr4 (this is needed
14766	  for cursor optimization when the cursor-down is a newline).
14767	+ replaced ESR's imitation of wresize with my original (his didn't
14768	  work).
14769
14770960831	- snapshot

14776	+ correct "tic -s" to take into account -I, -C options.
14777	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to not print codes 80 through 9F, since they
14778	  are considered control codes by ANSI terminals.

14805	+ correct interaction between O_BLANK and NEW_LINE request in form
14806	  library (Juergen Pfeifer)
14807
14808960804

14811	  correct terminfo.src corrupted by #310
14812	> patch 311 (ESR):
14813	+ fix idlok() and idcok() and the default of the idlok switch (report

14824	+ updated qnx terminfo entry (patch by Michael Hunter)
14825
14826960730
14827	+ eliminate quoted includes in ncurses subdirectory, ensure config.h
14828	  is included first.
14829	+ newterm initializes terminal settings the same as initscr (reported
14830	  by Tim Mooney).
14831
14832960727	- snapshot
14833	+ call cbreak() in initscr(), as per XSI & SVr4.
14834	+ turn off hardware echo in initscr() as per XSI & SVr4

14843	+ corrected calls on _nc_render so that background character is set
14844	  as per XSI.
14845	+ corrected wbkgdset macro (XSI allows background character to be
14846	  null), and tests that use it.
14847	+ more corrections to terminfo (xterm & rxvt)
14848	+ undid change to mcprint prototype (cannot use size_t in curses.h

14850	  include therein).
14851	+ move the ifdefs for errno into curses.priv.h

14870	+ cosmetic fixes to test/ncurses.c
14871	+ modify open() call in ncurses/read_entry.c to use O_RDONLY symbol

14877
14878960707
14879	+ rollback ESR's #305 change to terminfo.src (it breaks existing

14901	  stdscr will scroll when putting the box-corners in the lower-right
14902	  of the screen.
14903	> patch 305 (ESR):

14913	  <queen@qh.mirea.ac.ru>)
14914	+ added ^S scrollok-toggle to ncurses 'g' test.
14915	+ added ^T trace-toggle to ncurses tests.
14916	+ modified ncurses test program to use ^Q or ESC consistently for
14917	  terminating tests (rather than ^D), and to use control keys rather
14918	  than function keys in 'g' test.
14919	+ corrected misplaced wclrtoeol calls in addch to accommodate wrapping
14920	  (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
14921	+ modify lib_doupdate.c to use effective costs to tradeoff between
14922	  delete-character/insert-character vs normal updating (reported by
14923	  David MacKenzie).
14924	+ compute effective costs for screen update operations (e.g., clr_eos,
14925	  delete_character).
14926	+ corrected error in knight.c exposed by wrap fixes in 960622; the
14927	  msgwin needed scrollok set.
14928	+ corrected last change to IDcTransformLine logic to avoid conflict
14929	  between PutRange and InsStr
14930	+ modified run_tic.sh to not use /usr/tmp (reported by David

14934
14935960622	- snapshot
14936	+ modified logic that wraps cursor in addch to follow the XSI spec,
14937	  (implemented in SVr4) which states that the cursor position is
14938	  updated when wrapping.  Renamed _NEED_WRAP to _WRAPPED to reflect the
14939	  actual semantics.
14940	+ added -s option to tic, to provide better diagnostics in run_tic.sh
14941	+ improved error-recovery for tabset install.
14942	+ change ABI to 3.1 (dropped tparam, corrected getbkgd(), added
14943	  _yoffset to WINDOW).
14944	+ modified initialization of SP->_ofp so that init_acs() is called with

14946	+ documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer).
14947	+ corrected, using new SCREEN and WINDOW members, the behavior of

14953
14954960617
14955	+ corrected two logic errors in read_entry.c, write_entry.c (called by
14956	  tic, the write/read of terminfo entries used inconsistent rules for
14957	  locating the entries; the $TERMINFO_DIRS code would find only the
14958	  first entry in a list).
14959	+ refined pathname computation in run_tic.sh and shlib.
14960	+ corrected initialization of $IP in misc/run_tic.sh
14961
14962960615	- snapshot

14964	+ display version of gcc if configure script identifies it.
14965	+ modify configure script to use /usr as Linux's default prefix.
14966	+ modify run_tic.sh to use shlib script, fixes some problems installing
14967	  with a shared-library configuration.
14968	+ adjusted configure script so that it doesn't run tests with the
14969	  warnings turned on, which makes config.log hard to read.
14970	+ added 'lint' rule to top-level Makefile.
14971	+ added configure option '--with-install-prefix' for use by system
14972	  builders to install into staging locations (requested by
14973	  Charles Levert <charles@comm.polymtl.ca>).
14974	+ corrected autoconfigure for Debian man program; it's not installed
14975	  as "man_db".
14976	+ set noecho in 'worm'; it was ifdef'd for debug only
14977	+ updated test/configure.in for timing-display in ncurses 'p' test
14978	+ corrected misspelled 'getbkgd()'.
14979	+ corrected wbkgdset to work like observed syvr4 (sets A_CHARTEXT part
14980	  to blank if no character given, copies attributes to window's
14981	  attributes).
14982	+ modified lib_doupdate.c to use lower-level SP's current_attr state
14983	  instead of curscr's state, since it is redundant.
14984	+ correction to IDcTransformLine logic which controls where InsStr is
14985	  invoked (refined by Alexander V Lukyanov).
14986	> patch 303 (ESR):

15111
15112960418	- snapshot
15113	+ use autoconf 2.9
15114	+ fix for AIX 3.2.5 (must define _POSIX_SOURCE to get termios struct
15115	  definitions via <termios.h>, modified macros in lib_raw.c to avoid
15116	  K&R-style substitution)
15117	> patches 293, 294 (ESR):
15118	+ rewrite wsyncup(), wsyncdown(), as well as small fixes to form and
15119	  menu libraries to fix echo-breakage introduced by 1.8.9, 1.9.9e
15120	  changes (patches by Juergen Pfeifer).
15121	+ fix compile under QNX 4.2 by defining ONLCR in lib_raw.c when

15144
15145### ncurses-1.9.8a -> 1.9.9e
15146
15147* fixed broken wsyncup()/wysncdown(), as a result wnoutrefresh() now has
15148  copy-changed-lines behavior.
15149* added and documented wresize() function.
15150* more fixes to LOWER-RIGHT corner handling.
15151* changed the line-breakout optimization code to allow some lines to be
15152  emitted before the first check.
15153* added option for tic to use symbolic instead of hard links (for AFS)
15154* fix to restore auto-wrap mode.
15155* trace level can be controlled by environment variable.
15156* better handling of NULs in terminal descriptions.
15157* improved compatibility with observed SVR4 behavior.
15158* the refresh behavior of over-lapping windows is now more efficient and
15159  behaves like SVR4.
15160* use autoconf 2.7, which results in a working setup for SCO 5.0.
15161* support for ESCDELAY.
15162* small fixes for menu/form code.
15163* the test directory has its own configure.
15164* fixes to pads when optimizing scrolling.
15165* fixed several off-by-one bugs.
15166* fixes for termcap->terminfo translation; less restrictions more correct
15167  behavior.
15168
15169### ncurses-1.9.7 -> 1.9.8a
15170
15171* teach infocmp -i to recognize ECMA highlight sequences
15172* infocmp now dumps all SVr4 termcaps (not just the SVr4 ones) on -C
15173* support infocmp -RBSD.
15174* satisfy XSI Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
15175* This represents the last big change to the public interface of ncurses. The
15176  ABI_VERSION has now been set at 3.0 and should stay there barring any great
15177  catastrophies or acts of God.
15178* The C++ has been cleaned up in reaction to the changes to satisfy XSI's
15179  requirements.
15180* libncurses now gets linked to libcurses to help seamless emulation
15181  (replacement) of a vendor's curses. --disable-overwrite turns this behavior
15182  off.
15183
15184### ncurses-1.9.6 -> 1.9.7
15185
15186* corrected return values of setupterm()
15187* Fixed some bugs in tput (it does padding now)
15188* fixed a bug in tic that made it do the wrong thing on entries with more than
15189  one `use' capability.
15190* corrected the screen-size calculation at startup time to alter the
15191  numeric capabilities as per SVr4, not just LINES and COLS.
15192* toe(1) introduced; does what infocmp -T used to.
15193* tic(1) can now translate AIX box1 and font[0123] capabilities.
15194* tic uses much less core, the dotic.sh kluge can go away now.
15195* fix read_entry() and write_entry() to pass through cancelled capabilities OK.
15196* Add $HOME/.terminfo as source/target directory for terminfo entries.
15197* termcap compilation now automatically dumps an entry to $HOME/.terminfo.
15198* added -h option to toe(1).
15199* added -R option to tic(1) and infocmp(1).
15200* added fallback-entry-list feature.
15201* added -i option to infocmp(1).
15202* do a better job at detecting if we're on SCO.
15203
15204### ncurses-1.9.5 -> 1.9.6
15205
15206* handling of TERMCAP environment variables now works correctly.
15207* various changes to shorten termcap translations to less that 1024 chars.
15208* tset(1) added
15209* mouse support for xterm.
15210* most data tables are now const and accordingly live in shareable text space.
15211* Obey the XPG4/SVr4 practice that echo() is initially off.
15212* tic is much better at translating XENIX and AIX termcap entries now.
15213* tic can interpret ko capabilities now.
15214* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's forms library.
15215* taught write_entry() how not to write more than it needs to; this change
15216  reduces the size of the terminfo tree by a full 26%!
15217* infocmp -T option added.
15218* better warnings about historical tic quirks from tic.
15219
15220### ncurses 1.9.4 -> 1.9.5
15221
15222* menus library is now included with documentation.
15223* lib_mvcur has been carefully profiled and tuned.
15224* Fixed a ^Z-handling bug that was tanking lynx(1).
15225* HJ Lu's patches for ELF shared libraries under Linux
15226* terminfo.src 9.8.2
15227* tweaks for compiling in separate directories.
15228* Thomas Dickey's patches to support NeXT's brain-dead linker
15229* Eric Raymond's patches to fix problems with long termcap entries.
15230* more support for shared libraries under SunOS and IRIX.
15231
15232### ncurses 1.9.3 -> 1.9.4
15233
15234* fixed an undefined-order-of-evaluation bug in lib_acs.c
15235* systematically gave non-API public functions and data an _nc_ prefix.
15236* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's menu code into the distribution.
15237* totally rewrote the knight test game's interface
15238
15239### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.3
15240
15241* fixed the TERMCAP_FILE Support.
15242* fixed off-by-one errors in scrolling code
15243* added tracemunch to the test tools
15244* took steps to cut the running time of make install.data
15245
15246### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.2d
15247
15248* revised 'configure' script to produce libraries for normal, debug,
15249  profile and shared object models.
15250
15251### ncurses 1.9.1 -> 1.9.2
15252
15253* use 'autoconf' to implement 'configure' script.
15254* panels support added
15255* tic now checks for excessively long termcap entries when doing translation
15256* first cut at eliminating namespace pollution.
15257
15258### ncurses 1.8.9 -> 1.9
15259
15260* cleanup gcc warnings for the following: use size_t where 'int' is not
15261  appropriate, fixed some shadowed variables, change attr_t to compatible with
15262  chtype, use attr_t in some places where it was confused with 'int'.
15263* use chtype/attr_t casts as appropriate to ensure portability of masking
15264  operations.
15265* added-back waddchnstr() to lib_addstr.c (it had been deleted).
15266* supplied missing prototypes in curses.h
15267* include <termcap.h> in lib_termcap.c to ensure that the prototypes
15268  are consistent (they weren't).
15269* corrected prototype of tputs in <termcap.h>
15270* rewrote varargs parsing in lib_tparm.c (to avoid referencing memory
15271  that may be out of bounds on the stack) -- Purify found this.
15272* ensure that TRACE is defined in lib_trace.c (to solve prototype
15273  warnings from gcc).
15274* corrected scrolling-region size in 'mvcur_wrap()'
15275* more spelling fixes
15276* use 'calloc()' to allocate WINDOW struct in lib_newwin.c (Purify).
15277* set default value for SP->_ofp in lib_set_term.c (otherwise SunOS dumps
15278  core in init_acs()).
15279* include <errno.h> in write_entry.c (most "braindead" includes declare errno
15280  in that file).
15281
15282### ncurses 1.8.8 -> 1.8.9
15283
15284* compile (mostly) clean with gcc 2.5.8 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
15285  -Wmissing-prototypes -Wconversion and using __attribute__ to flush out
15286  non-portable use of "%x" for pointers, or for chtype data (which is declared
15287  as a long).
15288* modified doupdate to ensure that typahead was turned on before attempting
15289  select-call (otherwise, some implementations hang).
15290* added trace mask TRACE_FIFO, use this in lib_getch.c to allow finer
15291  resolution of traces.
15292* improved bounds checking on several critical functions.
15293* the data directory has been replaced by the new master terminfo file.
15294* -F file-comparison option added to infocmp.
15295* compatibility with XSI Curses is now documented in the man bages.
15296* wsyncup/wsyncdown functions are reliable now; subwindow code in general
15297  is much less flaky.
15298* capabilities ~msgr, tilde_glitch, insert_padding, generic_type, no_pad_char,
15299  memory_above, memory_below, and hard_copy are now used properly.
15300* cursor-movement optimization has been completely rewritten.
15301* vertical-movement optimization now uses hardware scrolling, il, dl.
15302
15303### ncurses 1.8.7 -> 1.8.8
15304* untic no longer exists, infocmp replaces it.
15305* tic can understand termcap now, especially if it is called captoinfo.
15306* The Linux Standard Console terminfo entry is called linux insead of console.
15307  It also uses the kernel's new method of changing charsets.
15308* initscr() will EXIT upon error (as the docs say) This will mostly happen if
15309  you try to run on an undefined terminal.
15310* I can get things running on AIX but tic can't compile terminfo. I have to
15311  compile entries on another machine. Volunteers to hunt this bug are welcome.
15312* wbkgd() and wbkgdset() can be used to set a windows background to color.
15313  wclear()/werase() DO NOT use the current attribute to clear the screen.
15314  This is the way SVR4 curses works. PDCurses 2.1 is broken in this respect,
15315  though PDCurses 2.2 has been fixed.
15316* cleaned up the test/ directory.
15317* test/worm will segfault after quite a while.
15318* many spelling corrections courtesy of Thomas E. Dickey
15319
15320### ncurses 1.8.6 -> 1.8.7
15321* cleaned up programs in test/ directory.
15322* fixed wbkgdset() macro.
15323* modified getstr() to stop it from advancing cursor in noecho mode.
15324* modified linux terminfo entry to work with the latest kernel to get
15325  the correct alternate character set.
15326* also added a linux-mono entry for those running on monochrome screens.
15327* changed initscr() so that it behaves like the man page says it does.
15328  this fixes the problem with programs in test/ crashing with SIGSEV if
15329  a terminal is undefined.
15330* modified addch() to avoid using any term.h #define's
15331* removed duplicate tgoto() in lib_tparm.c
15332* modified dump_entry.c so that infocmp deals correctly with ',' in acsc
15333* modified delwin() to correctly handle deleting subwindows.
15334* fixed Makefile.dist to stop installing an empty curses.h
15335* fixed a couple of out-of-date notes in man pages.
15336
15337### ncurses 1.8.5 -> 1.8.6
15338* Implemented wbkgd(), bkgd(), bkgdset(), and wbkgdset().
15339* The handling of attributes has been improved and now does not turn off color
15340  if other attributes are turned off.
15341* scrolling code is improved. Scrolling in subwindows is still broken.
15342* Fixes to several bugs that manifest them on platforms other than Linux.
15343* The default to meta now depends on the status of the terminal when ncurses
15344  is started.
15345* The interface to the tracing facility has changed.  Instead of the pair of
15346  functions traceon() and traceoff(), there is just one function trace() which
15347  takes a trace mask argument.  The trace masks, defined in curses.h, are
15348  as follows:
15349
15350	#define TRACE_DISABLE   0x00    /* turn off tracing */
15351	#define TRACE_ORDINARY  0x01    /* ordinary trace mode */
15352	#define TRACE_CHARPUT   0x02    /* also trace all character outputs */
15353	#define TRACE_MAXIMUM   0x0f    /* maximum trace level */
15354
15355  More trace masks may be added, or these may be changed, in future releases.
15356* The pad code has been improved and the pad test code in test/ncurses.c has
15357  been improved.
15358* The prototype ansi entry has been changed to work with a wider variety
15359  of emulators.
15360* Fix to the prototype ansi entry that enables it to work with PC emulators
15361  that treat trailing ";m" in a highlight sequence as ";0m"; this doesn't
15362  break operation with any emulators.
15363* There are now working infocmp, captoinfo, tput, and tclear utilities.
15364* tic can now compile entries in termcap syntax.
15365* Core-dump bug in pnoutrefresh fixed.
15366* We now recognize and compile all the nonstandard capabilities in Ross
15367  Ridge's mytinfo package (rendering it obsolete).
15368* General cleanup and documentation improvements.
15369* Fixes and additions to the installation-documentation files.
15370* Take cursor to normal mode on endwin.
15371
15372### ncurses 1.8.4 -> 1.8.5
15373* serious bugs in updating screen which caused erratic non-display,
15374  fixed.
15375* fixed initialization for getch() related variable which cause
15376  unpredictable results.
15377* fixed another doupdate bug which only appeared if you have
15378  parm_char.
15379* implemented redrawln() and redrawwin().
15380* implemented winsnstr() and related functions.
15381* cleaned up insertln() and deleteln() and implemented (w)insdeln().
15382* changed Makefile.dist so that installation of man pages will
15383  take note of the terminfo directory.
15384* fixed Configure (removed the mysterious 'X').
15385* Eric S. Raymond fixed the script.* files so that they work with
15386  stock awk.
15387
15388#### ncurses 1.8.3 -> 1.8.4 #### ####
15389* fixed bug in refreshing the screen after return from shell_mode.
15390  There are still problems but they don't manifest themselves on
15391  my machine (Linux 0.99.14f).
15392* added wgetnstr() and modified things accordingly.
15393* fixed the script.src script.test to work with awk not just gawk.
15394* Configure can now take an argument of the target system.
15395* added test/ncurses.c which replaces several other programs and
15396  performs more testing.
15397[Thanks to Eric S Raymond for the last 4]
15398* more fixes to lib_overlay.c and added test/over.c to illustrate
15399  how it works.
15400* fixed ungetch() to take int instead of ch.
15401* fixes to cure wgetch() if flushinp() is called.
15402
15403One note I forgot to mention in 1.8.3 is that tracing is off by
15404default starting in the version. If you want tracing output, put
15405traceon(); in your code and link with -ldcurses.
15406
15407#### ncurses 1.8.2 -> ncurses 1.8.3 #### ####
15408MAJOR CHANGES:
154091) The order of capabilities has been changed in order to achieve
15410binary compatibility with SVR4 terminfo database. This has the
15411unfortunate effect of breaking application currently linked with
15412ncurses. To ensure correct behavior, recompile all such programs.
15413Most programs using color or newer capabilities will break, others
15414will probably continue to work ok.
15415
154162) Pavel Curtis has renounced his copyright to the public domain.
15417This means that his original sources (posted to comp.sources.unix,
15418volume 1) are now in the public domain.  The current sources are
15419NOT in the public domain, they are copyrighted by me.  I'm
15420entertaining ideas on what the new terms ncurses is released under.
15421
154223) Eric S. Raymond has supplied a complete set of man pages for
15423ncurses in ?roff format. They will eventually replace most of the
15424current docs. Both sets are included in this release.
15425
15426Other changes and notes from 1.8.2 include:
15427* SIGSEGV during scrolling no longer occurs.
15428* Other problems with scrolling and use of idl have been corrected.
15429* lib_getch.c has been re-written and should perform flawlessly.
15430  please use test/getch.c and any other programs to test this.
15431* ripoffline() is implemented (Thanks to Eric) and slk_ functions
15432  changed accordingly.
15433* I've added support for terminals that scroll if you write in the
15434  bottom-right corner.
15435* fixed more bugs in pads code. If anybody has a program that uses
15436  pads I'd love a copy.
15437* correct handling for terminal with back_color_erase capability
15438  (such as Linux console, and most PC terminals)
15439* ^Z handling apparently didn't work (I should never trust code
15440  sent me to me without extensive testing). It now seems to be
15441  fixed. Let me know if you have problems.
15442* I've added support for Apollo and NeXT, but it may still be
15443  incomplete, especially when dealing with the lack of POSIX
15444  features.
15445* scrolling should be more efficient on terminals with idl
15446  capabilities. Please see src/lib_scroll.c for more notes.
15447* The line drawing routines were offset by 1 at both ends. This
15448  is now fixed.
15449* added a few missing prototypes and macros (e.g. setterm())
15450* fixed code in src/lib_overlay.c which used to crash.
15451* added a few more programs in test/ The ones from the PDCurses
15452  package are useful, especially if you have SVR4 proper. I'm
15453  interested in the results you get on such a systems (Eric? ;-).
15454  They already exposed certain bugs in ncurses.
15455* See src/README for porting notes.
15456* The C++ code should really replace ncurses.h instead of working
15457  around it. It should avoid name-space clashes with nterm.h (use
15458  rows instead of lines, etc.)
15459* The C++ should compile ok. I've added explicit rules to the
15460  Makefile because no C++ defaults are documented on the suns.
15461* The docs say that echo() and nocbreak() are mutually exclusive.
15462  At the moment ncurses will switch to cbreak() if the case above
15463  occurs. Should it continue to do so? How about echo() and noraw()?
15464* PDCurses seem to assume that wclear() will use current attribute
15465  when clearing the screen. According to Eric this is not the case
15466  with SVR4.
15467* I have discovered, to my chagrin, SunOS 4.x (and probably other systems)
15468  * doesn't have vsscanf and God knows what else!  I've will do a vsscanf().
15469* I've also found out that the src/script.* rely on gawk and will not
15470  work with stock awk or even with nawk. Any changes are welcome.
15471* Linux is more tolerant of NULL dereferences than most systems. This
15472  fact was exposed by hanoi.
15473* ncurses still seems inefficient in drawing the screen on a serial
15474  link between Linux and suns. The padding may be the culprit.
15475* There seems to be one lingering problem with doupdate() after shelling
15476  out. Despite the fact the it is sending out the correct information
15477  to the terminal, nothing takes effect until you press ^L or another
15478  refresh takes place. And yes, output does get flushed.
15479
15480#### ncurses 1.8.1 -> ncurses 1.8.2 #### Nov 28, 1993 ####
15481
15482* added support for SVR4 and BSDI's BSD/386.
15483* major update and fix to scrolling routine.
15484* MORE fixes to stuff in lib_getch.c.
15485* cleaned-up configuration options and can now generate
15486	Config.* files through an awk script.
15487* changed setupterm() so it can be called more than once,
15488	add added set_curterm(), del_curterm().
15489* a few minor cleanups.
15490* added more prototypes in curses.h
15491
15492#### ncurses 1.8 -> ncurses 1.8.1 #### Nov 4, 1993 ####
15493
15494* added support for NeXTStep 3.0
15495* added termcap emulation (not well tested).
15496* more complete C++ interface to ncurses.
15497* fixed overlay(), overwrite(), and added copywin().
15498* a couple of bug fixes.
15499* a few code cleanups.
15500
15501#### ncurses 0.7.2/0.7.3 -> ncurses 1.8 #### Aug 31, 1993 ####
15502
15503* The annoying message "can't open file." was due to missing
15504  terminfo entry for the used terminal. It has now been
15505  replaced by a hopefully more helpful message.
15506* Problems with running on serial lines are now fixed.
15507* Added configuration files for SunOS, Linux, HP/UX, Ultrix,
15508  386bsd/BSDI (if you have others send'em to me)
15509* Cleaner Makefile.
15510* The documentation in manual.doc is now more uptodate.
15511* update optimization and support for hp terminals, and 386bsd
15512  console driver(s).
15513* mvcur optimization for terminals without cursor addressing
15514  (doesn't work on Linux)
15515* if cursor moved since last update, getch() will refresh the
15516  screen before working.
15517* getch() & alarm() can now live together. in 0.7.3 a signal
15518  interrupted getch() (bug or feature?) now the getch is
15519  restarted.
15520* scanw() et all were sick, now fixed.
15521* support for 8-bit input (use meta()).
15522* added default screen size to all terminfos.
15523* added c++ Ncursesw class.
15524* several minor bug fixes.

15535* yet another fix for getch(), this one fixes problems with ESC being swallowed
15536  if another character is typed before the 1 second timeout.
15537* Hopefully, addstr() and addch() are 8-bit clean.
15538* fixed lib_tparm.c to use stdarg.h (should run on suns now)
15539* order of capabilities changed to reflect that specified in SYSV
15540  this will allow for binary-compatibility with existing terminfo dbs.
15541* added halfdelay()
15542* fixed problems with asc_init()
15543* added A_PROTECT and A_INVIS
15544* cleaned up vidputs()
15545* general cleanup of the code
15546* more attention to portability to other systems

15548  made) and 386BSD pcvt drivers.
15549
15550Thanks to Hellmuth Michaelis for his help.
15551optimization code is slated for the next major release, stay tuned!
15552
15553#### ncurses 0.6/0.61 -> ncurses 0.7 #### April 1, 1993
15554Please note that the next release will be called 1.8. If you want to know about
15555the rationale drop me a line.
15556

15559available separately from netcom.com:pub/zmbenhal/
15560
15561* color and ACS support is now fully compatible with SYSV at the terminfo
15562  level.

15564* tigetflag,tigetnum,tigetstr functions added.
15565* boolnames, boolfnames, boolcodes numnames, numfnames, numcodes,
15566  strnames, strfnames, strcodes arrays are now added.
15567* keyname() is added.
15568* All function keys can be defined in terminfo entries.

15583
155843) corrected usage of win->_delay value.
15585
155864) fixed a bug in lib_getch.c. if it didn't recognize a sequence it would
15587	simply return the last character in the sequence. The correct
15588	behavior is to return the entire sequence one character at a time.
15589
