45
46Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions;
47it is not possible to add this information.
48
4920210220

51	  compatible XT flag.
52	+ revert change to lib_addch.c in waddch_literal() from 20210130, since
53	  the followup fix in PutCharLR() actually corrects the problem while
54	  this change causes too-early filling/wrapping (report by Johannes
55	  Altmanninger).
56	+ add/use vt220+pcedit and vt220+vtedit  -TD
57	+ add scrt/securecrt and absolute -TD
58	+ add nel to xterm-new, though supported since X11R5 -TD
59	+ add/use xterm+nofkeys -TD
60	+ move use of ecma+italics from xterm-basic to xterm+nofkeys -TD
61
6220210213
63	+ add test/back_ground.c, to exercise the wide-character background
64	  functions.
65	+ add a check in _nc_build_wch() in case the background character is a
66	  wide-character, rather than a new part of a multibyte character.
67	+ improve tracemunch's coverage of form/menu/panel libraries.
68	+ improve tracemunch's checking/reporting the type for the first
69	  parameter, e.g., "WINDOW*" rather than "#1".

73	  (report/testcase by Anton Vidovic)
74	+ add name for Fedora's pcre2 to configure check for "--with-pcre2"
75	  option, from xterm #363 -TD
76	+ modify adjustment in PutCharLR to restore the cursor position before
77	  writing to the lower-right corner, rather than decrementing the
78	  cursor column, in case it was a double-width character (cf: 20210130).
79
8020210130
81	+ correct an off-by-one in comparison in waddch_literal() which caused
82	  scrolling when a double-cell character would not fit at the lower
83	  right corner of the screen (report by Benno Schulenberg).
84	+ split-out att610+cvis, vt220+cvis, vt220+cvis8 -TD
85	+ add vt220-base, for terminal emulators which generally have not
86	  supported att610's blinking cursor control -TD

91
9220210123
93	+ modify package/config scripts to provide an explicit -L option for
94	  cases when the loader search path has other directories preceding
95	  the one in which ncurses is installed (report by Yuri Victorovich).
96	+ minor build-fixes in configure script and makefiles to work around
97	  quirks of pmake.
98
9920210116
100	+ add comment for linux2.6 regarding CONFIG_CONSOLE_TRANSLATIONS
101	  (report by Patrick McDermott) -TD
102	+ make opts extension for getcchar work as documented for ncurses 6.1,
103	  adding "-g" flag to test/demo_new_pair to illustrate.
104
10520210109
106	+ fix errata in man/ncurses.3x from recent updates.
107	+ improve quoting/escaping in configure script, uses some features of
108	  autoconf 2.52.20210105
109
11020210102
111	+ update man/curs_memleaks.3x, to include <term.h> which declares
112	  exit_terminfo.
113	+ clarify man/curs_terminfo.3x, to mention why the macro setterm is
114	  defined in <curses.h>, and remove it from the list of prototypes
115	  (prompted by patch by Graeme McCutcheon).
116	+ amend man/curs_terminfo.3x, to note that <curses.h> is required
117	  for certain functions, e.g., those using chtype or attr_t for
118	  types, as well as mvcur (cf: 20201031).
119	+ use parameter-names in prototypes in curs_sp_funcs.3x, for
120	  consistency with other manpages.
121
12220201227
123	+ update terminology entry to 1.8.1 -TD
124	+ fix some compiler-warnings which gcc8 reports incorrectly.
125
12620201219
127	+ suppress hyphenation in generated html for manpages, to address
128	  regression in upgrade of groff 1.22.2 to 1.22.3.
129	+ fix inconsistent sort-order in see-also sections of manpages (report
130	  by Chris Bennett).
131
13220201212
133	+ improve manual pages for form field-types.
134

145
14620201128
147	+ add Smulx to alacritty (Christian Duerr).
148	+ add rep to PuTTY -TD
149	+ add putty+keypad -TD
150	+ add another fflush(stdout) in _nc_flush() to handle time-delays in
151	  the middle of strings such as flash when the application uses
152	  low-level calls rather than curses (cf: 20161217).
153	+ modify configure check for c89/c99 aliases of clang to use its
154	  -std option instead, because some platforms, in particular macOS,
155	  do not provide workable c89/c99 aliases.
156
15720201121
158	+ fix some compiler-warnings in experimental Windows-10 driver.
159	+ add the definitions needed in recent configure-check for clang
160	  (report by Steven Pitman).
161
16220201114
163	+ fix some compiler-warnings in experimental Windows-10 driver.

165	  special case where short extended capability strings were not
166	  converted from terminfo to termcap format.
167	+ modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro, adding darwin as special case
168	  when cross-compiling (report by Eli Rykoff).

172	+ add putty+screen and putty-screen (suggested by Alexandre Montaron).
173	+ explain in ncurses.3x that functions in the tinfo library do not rely
174	  upon wide-characters (prompted by discussion with Reuben Thomas).
175

179	+ review/improve synopsis for curs_sp_funcs.3x (prompted by discussion
180	  with Reuben Thomas).
181	+ improve format of output in tic's check_infotocap() function, to
182	  ensure that the messages contain only printable text.
183	+ modify configure-check for clang to verify that -Qunused-arguments
184	  is supported.  IBM's xlclang does not support it (report by Steven
185	  Pitman).
186
18720201024
188	+ provide workaround configure-check for bool when cross-compiling.
189	+ fix a potential indexing error in _nc_parse_entry(), seen with
190	  Herlim's test data using address-sanitizer.
191	+ change a null-pointer check in set_curterm to a valid-string check,
192	  needed in to tic's use-resolution when pad_char is cancelled
193	  (report/testcase by Robert Sebastian Herlim)
194	+ improve tic's -c option to validate the number and type of parameters
195	  and compare against expected number/type before deciding which set of
196	  parameter-lists to use in tparm calls (report/testcase by Robert
197	  Sebastian Herlim).
198	+ fix a link for tabs.1 manpage in announce.html.in (report by Nick

200
20120201017
202	+ improve manpage typography.
203	+ improve discussion in curs_addch.3x of the use of unctrl to display
204	  nonprintable characters.
205	+ add a note in terminfo.5 explaining that no-parameter strings such
206	  as sgr0 or cnorm should not be used with tparm.
207
20820201010
209	+ correct sgr in aaa+rv (report by Florian Weimer) -TD

212	+ improve tic's check for errors detected in tparm (prompted by
213	  discussion with Florian Weimer).

281
28220200817
283	+ reduce build-warnings by excluding ncurses-internals from deprecation
284	  warnings.

290
29120200816
292	+ amend tic/infocmp check to allow for the respective tool's absence

294	+ improved some of the build-scripts with shellcheck
295	+ filter out -MT/-MD/-MTd/-MDd options in script for Visual Studio C++
296	  (discussion with "Maarten Anonymous").
297

299	+ improve discussion of the system's tic utility when used as part
300	  of cross-compiling (discussion with Keith Marshall).
301	+ modify configuration checks for build-time tic/infocmp to use

305	  (discussion with Keith Marshall).
306	+ other build-fixes for Ada95 with MinGW.
307	+ modify Ada95 source-generation utility to write to a file given as
308	  parameter rather than to the standard output, allowing builds with

318
31920200725
320	+ set LINK_TESTS in CF_SHARED_OPTS for msvc (patch by
321	  "Maarten Anonymous")
322	+ improved workaround for redefinition-warnings for KEY_EVENT.
323	+ improve man/term.5 section on legacy storage format (report by
324	  Florian Weimer).
325
32620200718
327	+ reduce redefinition-warnings for KEY_EVENT when building with Visual
328	  Studio C++.
329	+ define NCURSES_STATIC when compiling programs to link with static

331	> additional changes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2
332	  (reports/patches by "Maarten Anonymous")
333	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to set the current directory while compiling
334	  the main program, so the linker can find related objects.

347	  buffer (report/testcases by Zhang Gan).
348	+ update length of strings in infocmp's usage function to restore a
349	  trailing null on the longest string (report/testcase by Zhang Gen).
350
35120200704
352	+ modify version-check with Ada generics to use the same pattern as in
353	  the check for supported gnat versions (report by Pascal Pignard).
354	> additional changes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2
355	  (patches by "Maarten Anonymous"):
356	+ adjust headers/declarations to provide for "dllimport" vs "dllexport"
357	  declarations when constructing DLLs, to worko with Visual Studio C++.
358

363
36420200613
365	+ update list of functions in ncurses.3x
366	+ move dlclose() call from lib_mouse.c to delscreen() to avoid a case

382	+ drop long-obsolete convert_configure.pl
383	+ add test/test_parm.c, for checking tparm changes.
384	+ improve parameter-checking for tparm, adding function _nc_tiparm() to
385	  handle the most-used case, which accepts only numeric parameters
386	  (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
387	+ use a more conservative estimate of the buffer-size in lib_tparm.c's
388	  save_text() and save_number(), in case the sprintf() function
389	  passes-through unexpected characters from a format specifier
390	  (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
391	+ add a check for end-of-string in cvtchar to handle a malformed
392	  string in infotocap (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
393
39420200523
395	+ update version-check for gnat to allow for gnat 10.x to 99.x
396	+ fix an uninitialized variable in lib_mouse.c changes (cf: 20200502)

401	  generated pkg-config and ncurses*-config files, to simplify
402	  configuring in the case where rpath is used but the packager wants
403	  to hide the feature (report by Michael Stapelberg).
404	> fixes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2 (patches by
405	  "Maarten Anonymous"):
406	+ modify CF_SHARED_OPTS to generate a script which translates linker
407	  options into Visual Studio's dialect.
408	+ omit parentheses around function-names in generated lib_gen.c to
409	  work around a Visual Studio C++ limitation.
410

412	+ add notes on termcap.h header in curs_termcap.3x
413	+ update notes on vscode / xterm.js -TD
414

874	+ fix typo in adds200 -TD
875	+ add tic check for consistent alternate character set capabilities.
876	+ improve check in mvcur() to decide whether to use hard-tabs, using
877	  xt, tbc and hts as clues.

890	+ modify rpm test-package ".spec" file to work around naming conflict
891	  with Redhat's package for ncurses6.
892	+ modify no-leaks code in test/picsmap to avoid non-standard tdestroy.
893	+ amend change to configure script which altered the top-level makefile
894	  to avoid attempting to install the terminfo database when it was not
895	  configured, to allow for installing the ".pc" files which are also
896	  in the misc directory (report by Steve Wills).
897
89820190126
899	+ change some "%define" statements in test-packages for RPMs to
900	  "%global" to work around changes in rpm 4.14 from recent Redhat.
901	+ fixes for O_INPUT_FIELD extension (patch by Leon Winter).
902	+ eliminate fixed buffer-size when reading $TERMCAP variable.
903	+ correct logic in read_entry.c which prevented $TERMCAP variable from
904	  being interpreted as a fallback to terminfo entry (prompted by
905	  Savannah #54556, cf: 20110924).
906
90720190121
908	+ add a check in test/configure to work around non-ncurses termcap.h
909	  file in Slackware.
910	+ corrected flag for "seq" method of db 1.8.5 interface, needed by toe
911	  on some of the BSDs.
912	+ updated "string-hacks" feature.
913	+ minor improvements to manpage typography.
914	+ corrected conditionally-compiled limit on color pairs (report by

922	  extensions.
923	+ add O_INPUT_FIELD extension to form library (patch by Leon Winter).

928
92920190112
930	+ fix typo in term(5), improve explanation of format (report by Otto
931	  Modinos).
932	+ add nsterm-direct -TD
933	+ use SGR 1006 mouse for konsole-base -TD
934	+ use SGR 1006 mouse for putty -TD
935	+ add ti703/ti707, ti703-w/ti707-w (Robert Clausecker)

938	+ add dummy "check" rule in top-level and test-Makefile to simply
939	  building test-packages for Arch.
940	+ modify configure script to avoid conflict with a non-POSIX feature
941	  that enables all parts of the system headers by default.  Some
942	  packagers have come to rely upon this behavior (FreeBSD #234049).
943	+ update config.guess, config.sub
944
94520181229
946	+ improve man/curs_mouse.3x with regard to xterm
947	+ modify tracemunch to accept filename parameters in addition to use
948	  as a pipe/filter.
949	+ minor optimization to reduce calls to _nc_reserve_pairs (prompted by
950	  discussion with Bryan Christ).
951	+ add test/pair_content.c and test/color_content.c
952	+ modify infocmp to omit filtering of "OTxx" names which are used for
953	  obsolete capabilities, when the output is sorted by long-names.
954	  Doing this helps when making a table of the short/long capability
955	  names.
956
95720181215
958	+ several fixes for gcc8 strict compiler warnings.
959	+ fix a typo in comments (Aaron Gyes).
960	+ add nsterm-build309 to replace nsterm-256color, assigning the latter
961	  as an alias of nsterm, to make mouse work with nsterm-256color -TD
962	+ base gnome-256color entry on "gnome", not "vte", for consistency -TD
963	+ updates for configure macros from work on tin and xterm:
964	  + CF_GNU_SOURCE, allow for Cygwin's newlib when checking for the
965	    _DEFAULT_SOURCE symbol.
966	  + CF_VA_COPY, add fallback check if neither va_copy/__va_copy is
967	    supported, to try copying the pointers for va_list, or as an array.
968	    Also add another fallback check, for __builtin_va_copy(), which
969	    could be used with AIX xlc in c89 mode.
970
97120181208
972	+ modify wbkgd() and wbkgrnd() to improve compatibility with SVr4
973	  curses, changing the way the window rendition is updated when the
974	  background character is modified (report by Valery Ushakov).
975
97620181201
977	+ add midnightbsd to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro (patch by Urs Jansen).
978	+ add "@" command to test/ncurses F-test, to allow rapid jump to
979	  different character pages.
980	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
981		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
982
98320181125
984	+ build-fix (reports by Chih-Hsuan Yen, Sven Joachim).
985
98620181124
987	+ check --with-fallbacks option to ensure there is a value, and add
988	  the fallback information to top-level Makefile summary.
989	+ add some traces in initialization to show whether a fallback entry is
990	  used.
991	+ build-fix for test/movewindow with ncurses-examples on Solaris.
992	+ add "-l" option to test/background, to dump screen contents in a form
993	  that lets different curses implementations be compared.
994	+ modify the initialization checks for mouse so that the xterm+sm+1006
995	  block will work with terminal descriptions not mentioning xterm
996	  (report by Tomas Janousek).
997
99820181117
999	+ ignore the hex/b64 $TERMINFO in toe's listing.
1000	+ correct a status-check in _nc_read_tic_entry() so that if reading
1001	  a hex/b64 $TERMINFO, and the $TERM does not match, fall-through to
1002	  the compiled-in search list.
1003
100420181110
1005	+ several workarounds to ensure proper C compiler used in parts of
1006	  Ada95 tree.
1007	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
1008		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
1009

1016	  from the infocmp -Q option.
1017	+ allow value for --with-versioned-syms to be a relative pathname
1018	+ add a couple of broken-linker symbols to the list of versioned
1019	  symbols to help with link-time optimization versus weak symbols.
1020	+ apply shift/control/alt logic when decoding xterm's 1006 mode to
1021	  wheel-mouse events (Redhat #1610681).
1022
102320181013
1024	+ amend change from 20180818, which undid a fix for the $INSTALL value
1025	  to make it an absolute path.
1026
102720181006
1028	+ improve a configure check to work with newer optimizers (report by
1029	  Denis Pronin, Gentoo #606142).
1030	+ fix typo in tput.c (Sven Joachim, cf: 20180825).
1031
103220180929
1033	+ fix typo in tvi955 -TD
1034	+ corrected acsc for regent60 -TD
1035	+ add alias n7900 -TD
1036	+ corrected acsc for tvi950 -TD
1037	+ remove bogus kf0 from tvi950 -TD
1038	+ added function-key definitions to agree with Televideo 950 manual -TD
1039	+ add bel to tvi950 -TD
1040	+ add shifted function-keys to regent60 -TD
1041	+ renumber regent40 function-keys to match manual -TD
1042	+ add cd (clr_eos) to adds200 -TD
1043
104420180923
1045	+ build-fix: remove a _tracef call which was used for debugging (report
1046	  by Chris Clayton).
1047
104820180922
1049	+ ignore interrupted system-call in test/ncurses's command-line, e.g.,
1050	  if the terminal were resized.
1051	+ add shift/control/alt logic for decoding xterm's 1006 mode (Redhat
1052	  #1610681, cf: 20141011).
1053	+ modify rpm test-packages to not use --disable-relink with Redhat,
1054	  since Fedora 28's tools do not work with that feature.
1055
105620180908
1057	+ document --with-pcre2 configure option in INSTALL.
1058	+ improve workaround for special case in PutAttrChar() where a cell is
1059	  marked as alternate-character set, to handle a case where the
1060	  character in the cell does not correspond to any of the ASCII
1061	  fallbacks (report by Leon Winter, cf: 20180505).
1062	+ amend change to form library which attempted to avoid unnecessary
1063	  update of cursor position in non-public fields, to simply disable
1064	  output in this case (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20180414).
1065	+ improve check for LINE_MAX runtime limit, to accommodate broken
1066	  implementations of sysconf().
1067
106820180901
1069	+ improve manual page for wgetnstr, giving background for the length
1070	  parameter.
1071	+ define a limit for wgetnstr, wgetn_wstr when length is negative or
1072	  "too large".
1073	+ update configure script to autoconf 2.52.20180819 (Debian #887390).
1074
107520180825
1076	+ add a section to tput manual page clarifying how it determines the
1077	  terminal size (prompted by discussion with Grant Jenks).
1078	+ add "--disable-relink" to rpm test-packages, for consistency with the
1079	  deb test-packages.
1080	+ split spec-file into ncurses6.spec and ncursest6.spec to work around
1081	  toolset breakage in Fedora 28.
1082	+ drop mention of "--disable-touching", which was not in the final
1083	  20180818 updates.
1084
108520180818
1086	+ build-fix for PDCurses with ncurses-examples.
1087	+ improved CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS.
1088	+ modify configure scripts to reduce relinking/ranlib during library
1089	  install (Debian #903790):
1090	  + use "install -p" when available, to avoid need for ranlib of
1091	    static libraries.
1092	  + modify scripts which use "--disable-relink" to add a 1-second
1093	    sleep to work around tools which use whole-second timestamps, e.g.,
1094	    in utime() rather than the actual file system resolution.
1095
109620180804
1097	+ improve logic for clear with E3 extension, in case the terminal
1098	  scrolls content onto its saved-lines before actually clearing
1099	  the display, by clearing the saved-lines after clearing the
1100	  display (report/patch by Nicholas Marriott).
1101
110220180728
1103	+ improve documentation regarding feature-test macros in curses.h
1104	+ improve documentation regarding the virtual and physical screens.

1106
110720180721
1108	+ build-fixes for gcc8.
1109	+ corrected acsc for wy50 -TD
1110	+ add wy50 and wy60 shifted function-keys as kF1 to kF16 -TD
1111	+ remove ansi+rep mis-added to interix in 2018-02-23 -TD
1112
111320180714
1114	+ add enum, regex examples to test/demo_forms
1115	+ add configure check for pcre-posix library to help with MinGW port.
1116
111720180707
1118	+ build-fixes for gcc8.
1119	+ correct order of WINDOW._ttytype versus WINDOW._windowlist in
1120	  report_offsets.
1121	+ fix a case where tiparm could return null if the format-string was
1122	  empty (Debian #902630).
1123
112420180630
1125	+ add acsc string to vi200 (Nibby Nebbulous)
1126	  add right/down-arrow to vi200's acsc -TD
1127	+ add "x" to tput's getopt string so that "tput -x clear" works
1128	  (Nicholas Marriott).
1129	+ minor fixes prompted by anonymous report on stack overflow:
1130	  + correct order of checks in _nc_get_locale(), for systems lacking
1131	    locale support.
1132	  + add "#error" in a few places to flag unsupported configurations
1133
113420180623
1135	+ use _WIN32/_WIN64 in preference to __MINGW32__/__MINGW64__ symbols
1136	  to simplify building with MSVC, since the former are defined in both
1137	  compiler configurations (report by Ali Abdulkadir).
1138	+ further improvements to configure-checks from work on dialog, i.e.,
1139	  updated CF_ADD_INCDIR, CF_FIND_LINKAGE, CF_GCC_WARNINGS,
1140	  CF_GNU_SOURCE, CF_LARGEFILE, CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE, CF_SIZECHANGE, and
1141	  CF_TRY_XOPEN_SOURCE.
1142	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
1143		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
1144
114520180616
1146	+ build-fix for ncurses-examples related to gcc8-fixes (cf: 20180526).
1147	+ reduce use of _GNU_SOURCE for current glibc where _DEFAULT_SOURCE
1148	  combines with _XOPEN_SOURCE (Debian #900987).
1149	+ change target configure level for _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 to address
1150	  use of vsscanf and setenv.
1151	+ improved configure-checks CF_SIZECHANGE and CF_STRUCT_TERMIOS from
1152	  work on dialog.
1153
115420180609
1155	+ modify generated ncurses*config and ncurses.pc, ncursesw.pc, etc.,
1156	  to list helper libraries such as gpm for static linking (Debian
1157	  #900839).
1158	+ marked vwprintw and vwscanw as deprecated; recommend using vw_printw
1159	  and vw_scanw, respectively.
1160
116120180602
1162	+ add RPM test-package "ncursest-examples".
1163	+ modified RPM test-package to work with Mageia6.
1164
116520180526
1166	+ add note in curs_util.3x about unctrl.h
1167	+ review/improve header files to ensure that those include necessary
1168	  files except for the previously-documented cases (report by Isaac
1169	  Pascual Monells).
1170	+ improved test-package scripts, adapted from byacc 1.9 20180525.
1171	+ fix some gcc8 warnings seen in Redhat package build, but
1172	  work around bug in gcc8 compiler warnings in comp_parse.c
1173
117420180519
1175	+ formatting fixes for manpages, regenerate man-html documentation.
1176	+ trim spurious whitespace from tmux in 2018-02-24 changes;
1177	  fix some inconsistencies in/between tmux- and iterm2-entries for SGR
1178	  (report by C Anthony Risinger)
1179	+ improve iterm2 using some xterm features which it has adapted -TD
1180	+ add check in pair_content() to handle the case where caller asks
1181	  for an uninitialized pair (Debian #898658).
1182
118320180512
1184	+ remove trailing ';' from GCC_DEPRECATED definition.
1185	+ repair a change from 20110730 which left an error-check/warning dead.
1186	+ fix several minor Coverity warnings.
1187
118820180505
1189	+ add deprecation warnings for internal functions called by older
1190	  versions of tack.
1191	+ fix a special case in PutAttrChar() where a cell is marked as
1192	  alternate-character set, but the terminal does not actually support
1193	  the given graphic character.  This would happen in an older terminal
1194	  such as vt52, which lacks most line-drawing capability.
1195	+ use configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
1196	  conflict with Debian packages versus test-packages.
1197	+ update tracemunch to work with perl 5.26.2, which changed the rules
1198	  for escaping regular expressions.
1199
120020180428
1201	+ document new form-extension O_EDGE_INSERT_STAY (report by Leon
1202	  Winter).
1203	+ correct error-returns listed in manual pages for a few form functions
1204	  (report by Leon Winter).
1205	+ add a check in form-library for null-pointer dereference:
1206		unfocus_current_field (form);
1207		form_driver (form, REQ_VALIDATION);
1208	  (patch by Leon Winter).
1209
121020180414
1211	+ modify form library to optionally delay cursor movement on a field
1212	  edge/boundary (patch by Leon Winter).
1213	+ modify form library to avoid unnecessary update of cursor position in
1214	  non-public fields (patch by Leon Winter).
1215	+ remove unused _nc_import_termtype2() function.
1216	+ also add/improve null-pointer checks in other places
1217	+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_parse_entry to handle an error when
1218	  a use-name is invalid syntax (report by Chung-Yi Lin).
1219
122020180407
1221	+ clarify in manual pages that vwprintw and vwscanw are obsolete,
1222	  not part of X/Open Curses since 2007.
1223	+ use "const" in some prototypes rather than NCURSES_CONST where X/Open
1224	  Curses was updated to do this, e.g., wscanw, newterm, the terminfo
1225	  interface.  Also use "const" for consistency in the termcap
1226	  interface, which was withdrawn by X/Open Curses in Issue 5 (2007).
1227	  As of Issue 7, X/Open Curses still lacks "const" for certain return
1228	  values, e.g., keyname().
1229
123020180331
1231	+ improve terminfo write/read by modifying the fourth item of the
1232	  extended header to denote the number of valid strings in the extended
1233	  string table (prompted by a comment in unibilium's sources).
1234
123520180324
1236	+ amend Scaled256() macro in test/picsmap.c to cover the full range
1237	  0..1000 (report by Roger Pau Monne).
1238	+ add some checks in tracemunch for undefined variables.
1239	+ trim some redundant capabilities from st-0.7 -TD
1240	+ trim unnecessary setf/setb from interix -TD
1241
124220180317
1243	+ fix a check in infotocap which may not have detected a problem when
1244	  it should have.
1245	+ add a check in tic for the case where setf/setb are given using
1246	  different strings, but provide identical results to setaf/setab.
1247	+ further improve fix for terminfo.5 (patch by Kir Kolyshkin).
1248	+ reorder loop-limit checks in winsnstr() in case the string has no
1249	  terminating null and only the number of characters is used (patch
1250	  by Gyorgy Jeney).
1251
125220180303
1253	+ modify TurnOn/TurnOff macros in lib_vidattr.c and lib_vid_attr.c to
1254	  avoid expansion of "CUR" in trace.
1255	+ improve a few lintian warnings in test-packages.
1256	+ modify lib_setup to avoid calling pthread_self() without first
1257	  verifying that the address is valid, i.e., for weak symbols
1258	  (report/patch by Werner Fink).
1259	+ modify generated terminfo.5 to not use "expand" and related width
1260	  on the last column of tables, making layout on wide terminals look
1261	  better (adapted from patch by Kir Kolyshkin).
1262	+ add a category to report_offsets, e.g., "w" for wide-character, "t"
1263	  for threads to make the report more readable.  Reorganized the
1264	  structures reported to make the categories more apparent.
1265	+ simplify some ifdef's for extended-colors.
1266	+ add NCURSES_GLOBALS and NCURSES_PRESCREEN to report_offsets, to show
1267	  how similar the different tinfo configurations are.
1268
126920180224
1270	+ modify _nc_resolve_uses2() to detect incompatible types when merging
1271	  a "use=" clause of extended capabilities.  The problem was seen in a
1272	  defective terminfo integrated from simpleterm sources in 20171111,
1273	  compounded by repair in 20180121.
1274	+ correct Ss/Ms interchange in st-0.7 entry (tmux #1264) -TD
1275	+ fix remaining flash capabilities with trailing mandatory delays -TD
1276	+ correct cut/paste in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim).
1277
127820180217
1279	+ remove incorrect free() from 20170617 changes (report by David Macek).
1280	+ correct type for "U8" in user_caps.5; it is a number not boolean.
1281	+ add a null-pointer check in safe_sprintf.c (report by Steven Noonan).
1282	+ improve fix for Debian #882620 by reusing limit2 variable (report by
1283	  Julien Cristau, Sven Joachim).
1284
128520180210
1286	+ modify misc/Makefile.in to install/uninstall explicit list in case
1287	  the build-directory happens to have no ".pc" files when an uninstall
1288	  is performed (report by Jeffrey Walton).
1289	+ deprecate safe-sprintf, since the vsnprintf function, which does what
1290	  was needed, was standardized long ago.
1291	+ add several development/experimental options to development packages.
1292	+ minor reordering of options in configure script to make the threaded
1293	  and reentrant options distinct from the other extensions which are
1294	  normally enabled.
1295

1353	> merge branch begun April 2, 2017 which provides these features:
1354	+ support read/write new binary-format for terminfo which stores
1355	  numeric capabilities as a signed 32-bit integer.  The test programs
1356	  such as picsmap, ncurses were created or updated during 2017 to use
1357	  this feature.
1358	+ the new format is written by the wide-character configuration of
1359	  tic when it finds a numeric capability larger than 32767.
1360	+ other applications such as infocmp built with the wide-character
1361	  ncurses library work as expected.
1362	+ applications built with the "narrow" (8-bit) configuration will
1363	  read the new format, but will limit those extended values to 32767.
1364	+ in either wide/narrow configuration, the structure defined in
1365	  term.h still uses signed 16-bit values.
1366	+ because it is incompatible with the legacy (mid-1980s) binary format,
1367	  a new magic value is provided for the "file" program.
1368	+ the term.5 manual page is updated to describe this new format.
1369	+ the limit on file-size for compiled terminfo is increased in the
1370	  wide-character configuration to 32768.
1371
137220180120
1373	+ build-fix in picsmap.c for stdint.h existence.
1374	+ add --disable-stripping option to configure scripts.
1375	+ modify ncurses-examples to install test-scripts in the data directory.
1376	+ work around tool-breakage in Debian 9 and later by invoking
1377	  gprconfig to specify the C compiler to be used by gnatmake,
1378	  and conditionally suppressing Library_Options line for static
1379	  libraries.
1380	+ bump the compat level for test-packages to 7, i.e., Debian 5.
1381
138220180106
1383	+ fixes for writing extended color pairs in putwin.
1384	+ modify test/savescreen.c to add test patterns that exercise 88-,
1385	  256-, etc., colors.
1386	+ modify configure option --with-build-cc, adding clang, c89 and c99
1387	  as possible default values.
1388	+ modify ncurses-examples configure script to use pkg-config for the
1389	  extra form/menu/panel libraries, to be more consistent with the
1390	  handling of the curses/ncurses library.
1391	+ modify test-packages for mingw to supply "pc" files.
1392	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to list -lpthread as a private library when
1393	  configured to access it via weak symbols.
1394	+ simplify gen-pkgconfig.in, adding -ltinfo without the special linker
1395	  checks because some versions of the linker simply hard-code the
1396	  behavior.
1397	+ update URLs for ncurses website to use https.
1398	+ modify CF_CURSES_LIBS to fill in $cf_nculib_root in case the
1399	  ncurses-examples are built with a system ncurses that lacks the
1400	  standard "curses" symbolic link, as done by SuSE.  The symbol is
1401	  needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and
1402	  would be set properly using the options "--with-screen", etc.
1403	+ generate misc/*.pc with "all" rule, as done for "sources" rule
1404	  (report by Jeffrey Walton).
1405
140620171230
1407	+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with Fedora27, adding check for
1408	  reset_color_pairs() -- not yet in Fedora's package.
1409	+ consistently add $CFLAGS to $MK_SHARED_LIB symbol in configure
1410	  script when the latter happens to use the C compiler rather than
1411	  directly using the loader (report by Jeffrey Walton).
1412	+ set ABI for upcoming 6.1 release in "*.map" files.  While there are
1413	  some remaining internals to apply, no ABI-related changes are
1414	  anticipated.
1415	+ add configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
1416	  conflict with Redhat packages versus test-packages.
1417
141820171223
1419	+ modify ncurses-examples to quiet const-warnings when building with
1420	  PDCurses.
1421	+ modify toe to not exit if unable to read a terminal description,
1422	  e.g., if there is a permission problem.
1423	+ minor fix for progs/toe.c, using _nc_free_termtype2.
1424	+ assign 0 to pointer in _nc_tgetent_leak() after freeing it. Also
1425	  avoid reusing pointer from previous successful call to tgetent
1426	  if the latest call is unsuccessful (patch by Michael Schroeder,
1427	  OpenSuSE #1070450).
1428	+ minor fix for test/tracemunch, initialize $awaiting variable.
1429
143020171216
1431	+ repair template in test/package/ncurses-examples.spec (cf: 20171111).
1432	+ improve tic's warning about the number of parameters tparm might use
1433	  for u1-u9 by making a special case for u6.
1434	+ improve curs_attr.3x discussion of color pairs.
1435
143620171209
1437	+ modify misc/ncurses-config.in to make output with --includedir
1438	  consistent with --cflags, i.e., when --disable-overwrite option was
1439	  configured the output should show the subdirectory where headers
1440	  are.
1441	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to suppress macros when calling an "implemented"
1442	  function in link_test.c
1443	+ updated ftp-url used in test-packages, etc.
1444	+ modify order of -pie/-shared options in configure script in case
1445	  LDFLAGS uses "-pie", working around a defect or limitation in the GNU
1446	  linker (prompted by patch by Yogesh Prasad, forwarded by Jay Shah).
1447	+ add entry in man_db.renames for user_caps.5
1448
144920171125
1450	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid tracing result from getstr/getnstr
1451	  before initialized.
1452	+ add "-a" aspect-ratio option to picsmap.
1453	+ add configure check for default path of rgb.txt, used in picsmap.
1454	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to truncate too-long filename (report by
1455	  Hosein Askari, Debian #882620).
1456	+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with NetBSD curses:
1457	  + it lacks the use_env() function.
1458	  + it lacks libpanel; a recent change used the wrong ifdef symbol.
1459	+ add a macro for is_linetouched() and adjust the function's return
1460	  value to make it possible for most applications to check for an
1461	  error-return (report by Midolikawa H).
1462	+ additional manpage cleanup.
1463	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
1464		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
1465
146620171118
1467	+ add a note to curs_addch.3x on portability.
1468	+ add a note to curs_pad.3x on the origin and portability of pads.
1469	+ improve manpage description of getattrs (report by Midolikawa H).
1470	+ improve manpage macros (prompted by discussion in Debian #880551.
1471	+ reviewed test-programs using KEY_RESIZE, made fixes to test/worm.c
1472	+ add a "-d" option to picsmap for default-colors.
1473	+ modify old terminology entry and a few other terminal emulators to
1474	  account for xon -TD
1475	+ correct sgr string for tmux, which used screen's "standout" code
1476	  rather than the standard code (patch by Roman Kagan)
1477	+ correct sgr/sgr0 strings in a few other cases reported by tic, making
1478	  those correspond to the non-sgr settings where they differ, but
1479	  otherwise use ECMA-48 consistently:
1480	  jaixterm, aixterm, att5420_2, att4424, att500, decansi, d410-7b,
1481	  dm80, hpterm, emu-220, hp2, iTerm2.app, mterm-ansi, ncrvt100an,
1482	  st-0.7, vi603, vwmterm -TD
1483	+ build-fix for diagnostics warning in lib_mouse.c for pre-5.0 versions
1484	  of gcc which did not recognize the diagnostic "push" pragma (patch by
1485	  Vassili Courzakis).
1486
148720171111
1488	+ add "op" to xterm+256setaf -TD
1489	+ reviewed terminology 1.0.0 -TD

1492
149320171104
1494	+ check for interrupt in color-pair initialization of dots_curses.c,
1495	  dots_xcurses.c
1496	+ add z/Z zoom feature to test/ncurses.c C/c screens.
1497	+ add '<' and '>' commands to test/ncurses.c S/s screens, to better
1498	  test off-by-ones in the overlap/copywin functions.
1499
150020171028
1501	+ improve man/curs_inwstr.3x, correct end-logic for lib_inwstr.c
1502	  (report by Midolikawa H).
1503	+ fix typo in a few places for "improvements" (patch by Sven Joachim).
1504	+ clear the other half of a double-width character on which a line
1505	  drawing character is drawn.
1506	+ make test/ncurses.c "s" test easier to understand which subtests are
1507	  available; add a "S" wide-character overlap test-screen.
1508	+ modify test/ncurses.c C/c tests to allow for extended color pairs.
1509	+ add endwin() call in error-returns from test/ncurses.c omitted in
1510	  recent redesign of its menu (cf: 20170923).

1512	  directory-tree terminal databases.
1513	+ repair a few overlooked items in include/ncurses_defs from recent
1514	  port/refactoring of test-programs (cf: 20170909).
1515	+ add test/padview.c, to compare pads with direct updates in view.c
1516
151720171021
1518	+ modify test/view.c to expand tabs using the ncurses library rather
1519	  than in the test-program.
1520	+ remove very old SIGWINCH example in test/view.c, just use KEY_RESIZE.
1521	+ add -T, -e, -f -m options to "dots" test-programs.
1522	+ fix a few typos in usage-messages for test-programs.
1523
152420171014
1525	+ minor cleanup to test/view.c:
1526	  + eliminate "-n" option by simply reading the whole file.
1527	  + implement page up/down commands.
1528	+ add check in tput for init/reset operands to ensure those use a
1529	  terminal.
1530	+ improve manual pages which discuss chtype, cchar_t types and the
1531	  attribute values which can be stored in those types.
1532	+ correct array-index when parsing "-T" command-line option in tabs
1533	  program.
1534	+ modify demo_new_pair.c to pass extended pairs to setcchar().
1535	+ add test/dots_xcurses.c to illustrate a different approach used for
1536	  extended colors which can be contrasted with dots_curses.c.
1537	+ add a check in tic to note when a description uses non-mandatory
1538	  delays without xon_xoff.  This is not an error, but some descriptions
1539	  for a terminal emulator may use the combination incorrectly.
1540
154120171007
1542	+ modify "-T" option of clear and tput to call use_tioctl() to obtain
1543	  the operating system's notion of the screensize if possible.
1544	+ review/repair some exit-codes for tput, making usage-message exit
1545	  with 2 rather than 1, and a failure to open terminal 4+errno.
1546	+ amend check in tput, tabs and clear to allow those to use the
1547	  database-only features in cron if a -T option gives a suitable
1548	  terminal name (report by Lauri Tirkkonen).
1549	+ correct an ifdef in test/ncurses.c for systems with soft-keys but
1550	  not slk_color().
1551	+ regenerate man-html documentation.
1552
155320170930
1554	+ fix a symbol conflict that made ncurses.c C/c menu not work with
1555	  Solaris xpg4 curses.
1556	+ add refresh() call to dots_mvcur.c, needed to use mvcur() with
1557	  Solaris xpg4 curses after calling newterm().
1558	+ minor fixes for configure script from work on ncurses-examples and
1559	  tin.
1560	+ improve animation in test/xmas.c by adding a time-delay in blinkit().
1561	+ modify several test programs to reflect that ncurses honors existing
1562	  signal handlers in initscr(), while other implementations do not.
1563	+ modify bs.c to make it easier to quit.
1564	+ change ncurses-examples to use attr_t vs chtype to follow X/Open
1565	  documentation more closely since Solaris xpg4-curses uses different
1566	  values for WA_xxx vs A_xxx that rely on attr_t being an unsigned
1567	  short.  Tru64 aka OSF1, HPUX, AIX did as ncurses does, equating the
1568	  two sets.
1569
157020170923
1571	+ modify menu for test/ncurses.c to fit on 24-line screen.

1577	+ modify filter() to discard clr_eos if back_color_erase is set.
1578
157920170909
1580	+ improve wide-character implementation of myADDNSTR() in frm_driver.c,
1581	  which was inconsistent with the normal implementation.
1582	+ save/restore cursor position in Undo_Justification(), matching
1583	  behavior of Buffer_To_Window() (report by Leon Winter).
1584	+ modify test/knight to provide the "slow" solution for small screens
1585	  using "R", noting that Warnsdorf's method is easily done with "a".
1586	+ modify several test-programs which call use_default_colors() to
1587	  consistently do this only if "-d" option is given.
1588	+ additional changes to test with non-standard variants of curses:
1589	  + modify a loop limit in firework.c to work around absence of limit
1590	    checks in some libraries.
1591	  + fill the last row of a window with "?" in firstlast if waddch does
1592	    not return ERR on the lower-right corner.
1593	+ add checks in test/configure for some functions not in 4.3BSD curses.
1594	+ fix a regression in test/configure (cf: 20170826).
1595
159620170902
1597	+ amend change for endwin-state for better consistency with the older
1598	  logic (report/patch by Jeb Rosen, cf: 20170722).
1599	+ modify check in fmt_entry() to handle a cancelled reset string
1600	  (Debian #873746).  Make similar fixes in other parts of dump_entry.c
1601	  and tput.c
1602
160320170827
1604	+ fix a bug in repeat_char logic (cf: 20170729, report by Chris Clayton).
1605
160620170826
1607	+ fixes for "iterm2" (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
1608	+ corrected a warning from tic about keys which are the same, to skip
1609	  over missing/cancelled values.
1610	+ add check in tic for unnecessary use of "2" to denote a shifted
1611	  special key.
1612	+ improve checks in trim_sgr0, comp_parse.c and parse_entry.c, for
1613	  cancelled string capabilities.
1614	+ add check in _nc_parse_entry() for invalid entry name, setting the
1615	  name to "invalid" to avoid problems storing entries.
1616	+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
1617	  + add a check in comp_scan.c to handle the special case where a
1618	    nontext file ending with a NUL rather than newline is given to tic
1619	    as input (Redhat #1484274).
1620	  + allow for cancelled capabilities in _nc_save_str (Redhat #1484276).
1621	  + add validity checks for "use=" target in _nc_parse_entry (Redhat
1622	    #1484284).
1623	  + check for invalid strings in postprocess_termcap (Redhat #1484285)
1624	  + reset secondary pointers on EOF in next_char() (Redhat #1484287).
1625	  + guard _nc_safe_strcpy() and _nc_safe_strcat() against calls using
1626	    cancelled strings (Redhat #1484291).
1627	+ correct typo in curs_memleaks.3x (Sven Joachim).
1628	+ improve test/configure checks for some curses variants not based on
1629	  X/Open Curses.
1630	+ add options for test/configure to disable checks for form, menu and
1631	  panel libraries.
1632

1656	+ modify install-rule for ncurses-examples to put the data files in
1657	  /usr/share/ncurses-examples
1658	+ improve tracemunch, by changing address-parameters of add_wch(),
1659	  color_content() and pair_content() to dummy parameters.
1660	+ minor optimization to _nc_change_pair, to return quickly when the
1661	  current screen is marked for clearing.
1662	+ in-progress changes to improve performance of test/picsmap.c for
1663	  loading image files.
1664	+ modify allocation for SCREEN's color-pair table to start small, grow
1665	  on demand up to the existing limit.
1666	+ add "RGB" extension capability for direct-color support, use this to
1667	  improve color_content().
1668	+ improve picsmap test-program:
1669	  + if no palette file is needed, attempt to load one based on $TERM,
1670	    checking first in the current directory, then by adding ".dat"
1671	    suffix, and finally in the data-directory, e.g.,

1683	+ use ^? for kdch1 in interix (reported by Jonathan de Boyne Pollard)
1684	+ add "rep" to xterm-new, available since 1997/01/26 -TD
1685	+ move SGR 24 and 27 from vte-2014 to vte-2012 (request by Alain
1686	  Williams) -TD
1687	+ add a check in newline_forces_scroll() in case a program moves the
1688	  cursor outside scrolling margins (report by Robert King).
1689	+ improve _nc_tparm_analyze, using that to extend the checks made by
1690	  tic for reporting inconsistencies between the expected number of
1691	  parameters for a capability and the actual.
1692	+ amend handling of repeat_char capability in EmitRange (adapted from
1693	  report/patch by Dick Wesseling):
1694	  + translate the character to the alternate character set when the
1695	    alternate character set is enabled.
1696	  + do not use repeat_char for characters past 255.
1697	+ document "_nc_free_tinfo" in manual page, because it could be used in
1698	  tack for memory-leak checking.
1699	+ add "--without-tack" configure option to refine "--with-progs"
1700	  configure option.  Normally tack is no longer built in-tree, but
1701	  a few packagers combine it during the build.  If term_entry.h is
1702	  installed, there is no advantage to in-tree builds.
1703	+ adjust configure-script to define HAVE_CURSES_DATA_BOOLNAMES symbol
1704	  needed for tack 1.08 when built in-tree.  Rather than relying upon
1705	  internal "_nc_" functions, tack now uses the boolean, number and
1706	  string capability name-arrays provided by ncurses and SVr4 Unix
1707	  curses.  It still uses term_entry.h for the definitions of the
1708	  extended capability arrays.
1709	+ add an overlooked null-pointer check in mvcur changes from 20170722
1710
171120170722
1712	+ improve test-packages for ncurses-examples and AdaCurses for lintian
1713	+ modify logic for endwin-state to be able to detect the case where
1714	  the screen was never initialized, using that to trigger a flush of
1715	  ncurses' buffer for mvcur, e.g., in test/dots_mvcur.c for the
1716	  term-driver configuration.
1717	+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to a few other internal header
1718	  files to allow each to be compiled separately.
1719	+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to tic's header-files; any program
1720	  using tic-library will have to supply this file.  Legacy tack
1721	  versions supply this file; ongoing tack development has dropped the
1722	  dependency upon tic-library and new releases will not be affected.
1723
172420170715
1725	+ modify command-line parameters for "convert" used in picsmap to work
1726	  with ImageMagick 6.8 and newer.
1727	+ fix build-problem with tack and ABI-5 (Debian #868328).
1728	+ repair termcap-format from tic/infocmp broken in 20170701 fixes
1729	  (Debian #868266).
1730	+ reformat terminfo.src with 20170513 updates.
1731	+ improve test-packages to address lintian warnings.
1732
173320170708
1734	+ add a note to tic manual page about -W versus -f options.
1735	+ correct a limit-check in fixes from 20170701 (report by Sven Joachim).
1736
173720170701
1738	+ modify update_getenv() in db_iterator.c to ensure that environment
1739	  variables which are not initially set will be checked later if an
1740	  application happens to set them (patch by Guillaume Maudoux).
1741	+ remove initialization-check for calling napms() in the term-driver
1742	  configuration; none is needed.
1743	+ add help-screen to test/test_getstr.c and test/test_get_wstr.c
1744	+ improve compatibility between different configurations of new_prescr,
1745	  fixing a case with threaded code and term-driver where c++/demo did
1746	  not work (cf: 20160213).
1747	+ the fixes for Redhat #1464685 obscured a problem subsequently
1748	  reported in Redhat #1464687; the given test-case was no longer
1749	  reproducible.  Testing without the fixes for the earlier reports
1750	  showed a problem with buffer overflow in dump_entry.c, which is
1751	  addressed by reducing the use of a fixed-size buffer.
1752	+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
1753	  (Redhat #1464684, #1464685, #1464686, #1464691).
1754	  + alloc_entry.c, add a check for a null-pointer.
1755	  + parse_entry.c, add several checks for valid pointers as well as
1756	    one check to ensure that a single character on a line is not
1757	    treated as the 2-character termcap short-name.
1758	+ fix a memory leak in delscreen() (report by Bai Junq).
1759	+ improve tracemunch, showing thread identifiers as names.
1760	+ fix a use-after-free in NCursesMenu::~NCursesMenu()
1761	+ further amend incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
1762	  (report by Allen Hewes).
1763
176420170624
1765	+ modify c++/etip.h.in to accommodate deprecation of throw() and
1766	  throws() in c++17 (prompted by patch by Romain Geissler).
1767	+ remove some incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
1768	  (report by Allen Hewes).
1769	+ add test-programs for termattrs and term_attrs.
1770	+ modify _nc_outc_wrapper to use the standard output if the screen was
1771	  not initialized, rather than returning an error.
1772	+ improve checks for low-level terminfo functions when the terminal
1773	  has not been initialized (Redhat #1345963).
1774	+ modify make_hash to allow building with address-sanitizer,
1775	  assuming that --disable-leaks is configured.
1776	+ amend changes for number_format() in 20170506 to avoid undefined
1777	  behavior when shifting (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
1778
177920170617
1780	+ fill in some places where TERMTYPE2 vs TERMTYPE was not used
1781	  (report by Allen Hewes).
1782	+ use ExitTerminfo() internally in error-exits for ncurses' setupterm
1783	  to help with leak checking.
1784	+ use ExitProgram() in error-exit from initscr() to help with leak
1785	  checking.
1786	+ review test-programs, adding checks for cases where the terminal
1787	  cannot be initialized.
1788
178920170610
1790	+ add option "-xp" to picsmap.c, to use init_extended_pair().
1791	+ make simple performance fixes for picsmap.c
1792	+ improve aspect ratio of images read from "convert" in picsmap.c
1793
179420170603
1795	+ add option to picsmap to use color-palette files, e.g., for mapping
1796	  to xterm-256color.
1797	+ move the data in SCREEN used for the alloc_pair() function to the
1798	  end, to restore compatibility between ncurses/ncursesw libtinfo
1799	  (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
1800	+ add build-time utility "report_offsets" to help show when the various
1801	  configurations of tinfo library are compatible or not.
1802
180320170527
1804	+ improved test/picsmap.c:
1805	  + lookup named colors for xpm files in rgb.txt
1806	  + accept blanks in color-keys for xpm files.
1807	  + if neither xbm/xpm work, try "convert", which may be available.
1808
180920170520
1810	+ modify test/picsmap.c to read xpm files.
1811	+ modify package/debian/* to create documentation packages, so the
1812	  related files can be checked with lintian.
1813	+ fix some typos in manpages (report/patch by Sven Joachim).
1814
181520170513
1816	+ add test/picsmap.c to fill in some testing issues not met by dots.
1817	  The initial version reads X bitmap (".xbm") files.
1818	+ repair logic which forces a repaint where a color-pair's content is
1819	  changed (cf: 20170311).
1820	+ improve tracemunch, showing screenXX pointers as names.
1821
182220170506
1823	+ modify tic/infocmp display of numeric values to use hexadecimal when
1824	  they are "close" to a power of two, making the result more readable.
1825	+ improve discussion of portability in curs_mouse.3x
1826	+ change line-length for generated html/manpages to 78 columns from 65.
1827	+ improve discussion of line-drawing characters in curs_add_wch.3x
1828	  (prompted by discussion with Lorinczy Zsigmond).
1829	+ cleanup formatting of hackguide.html and ncurses-intro.html
1830	+ add examples for WACS_D_PLUS and WACS_T_PLUS to test/ncurses.c
1831
183220170429
1833	+ corrected a case where $with_gpm was set to "maybe" after CF_WITH_GPM,
1834	  overlooked in 20160528 fixes (report by Alexandre Bury).
1835	+ improve a couple of test-program's help-messages.
1836	+ corrected loop in rain.c from 20170415 changes.
1837	+ modify winnstr and winchnstr to return error if the output pointer is
1838	  null, as well as adding a null pointer check of the window pointer
1839	  for better compatibility with other implementations.
1840	+ improve discussion of NetBSD curses in scr_dump.5
1841	+ modify LIMIT_TYPED macro in new_pair.h to avoid changing sign of the
1842	  value to be limited (reports by Darby Payne, Rob Boudreau).
1843	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
1844		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
1845
184620170422
1847	+ build-fix for termcap-configuration (report by Chi-Hsuan Yen).
1848	+ improve terminfo manual page discussion of control- and graphics-
1849	  characters.
1850	+ remove tic warning about "^?" in string capabilities, which was
1851	  marked as an extension (cf: 20000610, 20110820); however all Unix
1852	  implementations support this and X/Open Curses does not address it.
1853	  On the other hand, termcap never did support this feature.
1854	+ correct missing comma-separator between string capabilities in
1855	  icl6402 and m2-nam -TD
1856	+ restore rmir/smir in ansi+idc to better match original ansiterm+idc,
1857	  add alias ansiterm (report by Robert King).
1858	+ amend an old check for ambiguous use of "ma" in terminfo versus
1859	  a termcap use, if the capability is cancelled to treat it as number.
1860	+ correct a case in _nc_captoinfo() which read "%%" and emitted "%".
1861	+ modify sscanf calls in _nc_infotocap() for patterns "%{number}%+%c"
1862	  and "%'char'%+%c" to check that the final character is really 'c',
1863	  avoiding a case in icl6404 which cannot be converted to termcap.
1864	+ in _nc_infotocap(), add a check to ensure that terminfo "^?" is not
1865	  written to termcap, because the BSDs did not implement that.
1866	+ in _nc_tic_expand() and _nc_infotocap(), improve string-length check
1867	  when deciding whether to use "^X" or "\xxx" format for control
1868	  characters, to make the output of tic/infocmp more predictable.
1869	+ limit termcap "%d" width to 2 digits on input, and use "%2" in
1870	  preference to "%02" on output.
1871	+ correct terminfo/termcap conversion of "%02" and "%03" into "%2" and
1872	  "%3"; the result repeated the last character.
1873	+ add man/scr_dump.5 to document screen-dump format.
1874
187520170415
1876	+ modify several test programs to use new popup_msgs, adapted from
1877	  help-screen used in test/edit_field.c
1878	+ drop two symbols obsoleted in 2004: _nc_check_termtype, and
1879	  _nc_resolve_uses
1880	+ fix some old copyright dates (cf: 20031025).
1881	+ build-fixes for test/savescreen.c to work with AIX and HPUX.
1882	+ minor fix to configure script, adding a backslash/continuation.
1883	+ extend TERMINAL structure for ABI 6 to store numbers internally as
1884	  integers rather than short, by adding new data for this purpose.
1885	+ more fixes for minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
1886
188720170408
1888	+ change logic in wins_nwstr() to avoid addressing data past the output
1889	  of mbstowcs().
1890	+ correct a call to setcchar() in Data_Entry_w() from 20131207 changes.
1891	+ fix minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
1892	+ further improve ifdef in term_entry.h for internal definitions not
1893	  used by tack.
1894
189520170401
1896	+ minor fixes for vt100+4bsd, e.g., delay in sgr for consistency -TD
1897	+ add smso for env230, to match sgr -TD
1898	+ remove p7/protect from sgr in fbterm -TD
1899	+ drop setf/setb from fbterm; setaf/setab are enough -TD
1900	+ make xterm-pcolor sgr consistent with other capabilities -TD
1901	+ add rmxx/smxx ECMA-48 strikeout extension to tmux and xterm-basic
1902	  (discussion with Nicholas Marriott)
1903	+ add test-programs sp_tinfo and extended_color
1904	+ modify no-leaks code for lib_cur_term.c to account for the tgetent()
1905	  cache.
1906	+ modify setupterm() to save original tty-modes so that erasechar()
1907	  works as expected.  Also modify _nc_setupscreen() to avoid redundant
1908	  calls to get original tty-modes.
1909	+ modify set_curterm() to update ttytype[] data used by longname().
1910	+ modify wattr_set() and wattr_get() to return ERR if win-parameter is
1911	  null, as documented.
1912	+ improve cast used for null-pointer checks in header macros, to
1913	  reduce compiler warnings.
1914	+ modify several functions, using the reserved "opts" parameter to pass
1915	  color- and pair-values larger than 16-bits:
1916	  + getcchar(), setcchar(), slk_attr_set(), vid_puts(), wattr_get(),
1917	    wattr_set(), wchgat(), wcolor_set().
1918	  + Other functions call these with the corresponding altered behavior,
1919	    including chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat(), slk_color_on(),
1920	    slk_color_off(), vid_attr().
1921	+ add new functions for manipulating color- and pair-values larger
1922	  than 16-bits.  These are extended_color_content(),
1923	  extended_pair_content(), extended_slk_color(), init_extended_color(),
1924	  init_extended_pair(), and the corresponding sp-funcs.
1925
192620170325
1927	+ fix a memory leak in the window-list when creating multiple screens
1928	  (reports by Andres Martinelli, Debian #783486).
1929	+ reviewed calls from link_test.c, added a few more null-pointer
1930	  checks.
1931	+ add a null-pointer check in ungetmouse, in case mousemask was not
1932	  called (report by "Kau").
1933	+ updated curs_sp_funcs.3x for new functions.
1934
193520170318
1936	+ change TERMINAL structure in term.h to make it opaque.  Some
1937	  applications misuse its members, e.g., directly modifying it
1938	  rather than using def_prog_mode().
1939	+ modify utility headers such as tic.h to make it clearer which are
1940	  externals that are used by tack.
1941	+ improve curs_slk.3x in particular its discussion of portability.
1942	+ fix cut/paste in legacy_encoding.3x
1943	+ add prototype for find_pair() to new_pair.3x (report by Branden
1944	  Robinson).
1945	+ fix a couple of broken links in generated man-html documentation.
1946	+ regenerate man-html documentation.
1947
194820170311
1949	+ modify vt100 rs2 string to reset vt52 mode and scrolling regions
1950	  (report/analysis by Robert King) -TD
1951	+ add vt100+4bsd building block, use that for older terminals rather
1952	  than "vt100" which is now mostly used as a building block for
1953	  terminal emulators -TD
1954	+ correct a few spelling errors in terminfo.src comments -TD
1955	+ add fbterm -TD
1956	+ fix a typo in ncurses.c test_attr legend (patch by Petr Vanek).
1957	+ changed internal colorpair_t to a struct, eliminating an internal
1958	  8-bit limit on colors
1959	+ add ncurses/new_pair.h
1960	+ add ncurses/base/new_pair.c with alloc_pair(), find_pair() and
1961	  free_pair() functions
1962	+ add test/demo_new_pair.c
1963
196420170304
1965	+ improve terminfo manual description of terminfo syntax.
1966	+ clarify the use of wint_t vs wchar_t in curs_get_wstr.3x
1967	+ improve description of endwin() in manual.
1968	+ modify setcchar() and getcchar() to treat negative color-pair as an
1969	  error.
1970	+ fix a typo in include/hashed_db.h (Andre Sa).
1971
197220170225
1973	+ fixes for CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS (report by Ross Burton).
1974
197520170218
1976	+ fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
1977	+ correct read of terminfo entry in which all strings are absent or
1978	  explicitly cancelled.  Before this fix, the result was that all were
1979	  treated as only absent.
1980	+ modify infocmp to suppress mixture of absent/cancelled capabilities
1981	  that would only show as "NULL, NULL", unless the -q option is used,
1982	  e.g., to show "-, @" or "@, -".
1983
198420170212
1985	+ build-fixes for PGI compilers (report by Adam J. Stewart)
1986	  + accept whitespace in sed expression for generating expanded.c
1987	  + modify configure check that g++ compiler warnings are not used.
1988	  + add configure check for -fPIC option needed for shared libraries.
1989	+ let configure --disable-ext-funcs override the default for the
1990	  --enable-sp-funcs option.
1991	+ mark some structs in form/menu/panel libraries as potentially opaque
1992	  without modifying API/ABI.
1993	+ add configure option --enable-opaque-curses for ncurses library and
1994	  similar options for the other libraries.
1995
199620170204
1997	+ trim newlines, tabs and escaped newlines from terminfo "paths" passed
1998	  to db-iterator.
1999	+ ignore zero-length files in db-iterator; these are useful for
2000	  instance to suppress "$HOME/.terminfo" when not wanted.
2001	+ amended "b64:" encoder to work with the terminfo reader.
2002	+ modify terminfo reader to accept "b64:" format using RFC-3548 in
2003	  as well as RFC-4648 url/filename-safe format.
2004	+ modify terminfo reader to accept "hex:" format as generated by
2005	  "infocmp -0qQ1" (cf: 20150905).
2006	+ adjust authors comment to reflect drop below 1% for SV.
2007
200820170128
2009	+ minor comment-fixes to help automate links to bug-urls -TD
2010	+ add dvtm, dvtm-256color -TD
2011	+ add settings corresponding to xterm-keys option to tmux entry to
2012	  reflect upcoming change to make that option "on" by default
2013	  (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
2014	+ uncancel Ms in tmux entry (Harry Gindi, Nicholas Marriott).
2015	+ add dumb-emacs-ansi -TD
2016
201720170121
2018	+ improve discussion of early history of tput program.
2019	+ incorporate A_COLOR mask into COLOR_PAIR(), in case user application
2020	  provides an out-of-range pair number (report by Elijah Stone).
2021	+ clarify description in tput manual page regarding support for
2022	  termcap names (prompted by FreeBSD #214709).
2023	+ remove a restriction in tput's support for termcap names which
2024	  omitted capabilities normally not shown in termcap translations
2025	  (cf: 990123).
2026	+ modify configure script for clang as used on FreeBSD, to work around
2027	  clang's differences in exit codes vs gcc.
2028
202920170114
2030	+ improve discussion of early history of tset/reset programs.
2031	+ clarify in manual pages that the optional verbose option level is
2032	  available only when ncurses is configured for tracing.
2033	+ amend change from 20161231 to avoid writing traces to the standard
2034	  error after initializing the trace feature using the environment
2035	  variable.
2036
203720170107
2038	+ amend changes for tput to reset tty modes to "sane" if the program
2039	  is run as "reset", like tset.  Likewise, ensure that tset sends
2040	  either reset- or init-strings.
2041	+ improve manual page descriptions of tput init/reset and tset/reset,
2042	  to make it easier to see how they are similar and different.
2043	+ move a static result from key_name() to _nc_globals
2044	+ modify _nc_get_screensize to allow for use_env() and use_tioctl()
2045	  state to be per-screen when sp-funcs are configured, better matching
2046	  the behavior when using the term-driver configuration.
2047	+ improve cross-references in manual pages for often used functions
2048	+ move SCREEN field for use_tioctl() data before the ncursesw fields,
2049	  and limit that to the sp-funcs configuration to improve termlib
2050	  compatibility (cf:  20120714).
2051	+ correct order of initialization for traces in use_env() and
2052	  use_tioctl() versus first trace calls.
2053
205420161231
2055	+ fix errata for ncurses-howto (report by Damien Ruscoe).
2056	+ fix a few places in configure/build scripts where DESTDIR and rpath
2057	  were combined (report by Thomas Klausner).
2058	+ merge current st description (report by Harry Gindi) -TD
2059	+ modify flash capability for linux and wyse entries to put the delay
2060	  between the reverse/normal escapes rather than after -TD
2061	+ modify program tabs to pass the actual tty file descriptor to
2062	  setupterm rather than the standard output, making padding work
2063	  consistently.
2064	+ explain in clear's manual page that it writes to stdout.
2065	+ add special case for verbose debugging traces of command-line
2066	  utilities which write to stderr (cf: 20161126).
2067	+ remove a trace with literal escapes from skip_DECSCNM(), added in
2068	  20161203.
2069	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2070		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
2071
207220161224
2073	+ correct parameters for copywin call in _nc_Synchronize_Attributes()
2074	  (patch by Leon Winter).
2075	+ improve color-handling section in terminfo manual page (prompted by
2076	  patch by Mihail Konev).
2077	+ modify programs clear, tput and tset to pass the actual tty file
2078	  descriptor to setupterm rather than the standard output, making
2079	  padding work.
2080
208120161217
2082	+ add tput-colorcube demo script.
2083	+ add -r and -s options to tput-initc demo, to match usage in xterm.
2084	+ flush the standard output in _nc_flush for the case where SP is zero,
2085	  e.g., when called via putp.  This fixes a scenario where "tput flash"
2086	  did not work after changes in 20130112.
2087
208820161210
2089	+ add configure script option --disable-wattr-macros for use in cases
2090	  where one wants to use the same headers for ncurses5/ncurses6
2091	  development, by suppressing the wattr* macros which differ due to
2092	  the introduction of extended colors (prompted by comments in
2093	  Debian #230990, Redhat #1270534).
2094	+ add test/tput-initc to demonstrate tput used to initialize palette
2095	  from a data file.
2096	+ modify test/xterm*.dat to use the newer color4/color12 values.
2097
209820161203
2099	+ improve discussion of field validation in form_driver.3x manual page.
2100	+ update curs_trace.3x manual page.
2101
210220161126
2103	+ modify linux-16color to not mask dim, standout or reverse with the
2104	  ncv capability -TD
2105	+ add 0.1sec mandatory delay to flash capabilities using the VT100
2106	  reverse-video control -TD
2107	+ omit selection of ISO-8859-1 for G0 in enacs capability from linux2.6
2108	  entry, to avoid conflict with the user-defined mapping.  The reset
2109	  feature will use ISO-8859-1 in any case (Mikulas Patocka).
2110	+ improve check in tic for delays by also warning about beep/flash
2111	  when a delay is not embedded, or if those use the VT100 reverse
2112	  video escape without using a delay.
2113	+ minor fix for syntax-check of delays from 20161119 changes.
2114	+ modify trace() to avoid overwriting existing file (report by Maor
2115	  Shwartz).
2116
211720161119
2118	+ add check in tic for some syntax errors of delays, as well as use of
2119	  proportional delays for non-line capabilities.
2120	+ document history of the clear program and the E3 extension, prompted
2121	  by various discussions including
2122	  http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/87469/clearing-the-old-scrollback-buffer
2123
212420161112
2125	+ improve -W option in tic/infocmp:
2126	  + correct order of size-adjustments in wrapped lines
2127	  + if -f option splits line, do not further split it with -W
2128	  + begin a new line when adding "use=" after a wrapped line
2129
213020161105
2131	+ fix typo in man/terminfo.tail (Alain Williams).
2132	+ correct program-name in adacurses6-config.1 manual page.
2133
213420161029
2135	+ add new function "unfocus_current_field" (Leon Winter)
2136
213720161022
2138	+ modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the
2139	  screensize if it was already set in the system, to improve tabstop
2140	  setting which relies upon knowing the actual screensize.
2141	+ add functionality of tset -w to tput, like the "-c" feature this is
2142	  not optional in tput.
2143	+ add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput.
2144	+ improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow
2145	  for transformed names.
2146	+ split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with
2147	  tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.
2148
214920161015
2150	+ amend internal use of tputs to consistently use the number of lines
2151	  affected, e.g., for insert/delete character operations.  While
2152	  merging terminfo source early in 1995, several descriptions used the
2153	  "*" proportional delay for these operations, prompting a change in
2154	  doupdate.
2155	+ regenerate llib-* files.
2156	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
2157	+ fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
2158
215920161008
2160	+ adjust size in infocmp/tic to work with strlcpy.
2161	+ fix configure script to record when strlcat is found on OpenBSD.
2162	+ build-fix for "recent" OpenBSD vs baudrate.
2163
216420161001
2165	+ add -W option to tic/infocmp to force long strings to wrap.  This is
2166	  in addition to the -w option which attempts to fit capabilities into
2167	  a given line-length.
2168	+ add linux-m1 minitel entries (patch by Alexandre Montaron).
2169	+ correct rs2 string for vt100-nam -TD
2170
217120160924
2172	+ modify _nc_tic_expand to escape comma if it immediately follows a
2173	  percent sign, to work with minitel change.
2174	+ updated minitel and viewdata descriptions (Alexandre Montaron).
2175
217620160917
2177	+ build-fix for gnat6, which unhelpfully attempts to compile C files.
2178	+ fix typo in 20160910 changes (Debian #837892, patch by Sven Joachim).
2179
218020160910
2181	+ trim dead code ifdef'd with HIDE_EINTR since 970830 (discussion with
2182	  Leon Winter).
2183	+ trim some obsolete/incorrect wording about EINTR from wgetch manual
2184	  page (patch by Leon Winter).
2185	+ really correct 20100515 change (patch by Rich Coe).
2186	+ add "--enable-string-hacks" option to test/configure
2187	+ completed string-hacks for "sprintf", etc., including test-programs.
2188	+ make "--enable-string-hacks" work with Debian by checking for the
2189	  "bsd" library and its associated "<bsd/string.h>" header.
2190
219120160903
2192	+ correct 20100515 change for weak signals versus sigprocmask (report
2193	  by Rich Coe).
2194	+ modify misc/Makefile.in to work around OpenBSD "make" which unlike
2195	  all other versions of "make" does not recognize continuation lines
2196	  of comments.
2197	+ amend the last change to CF_C_ENV_FLAGS to move only the
2198	  preprocessor, optimization and warning flags to CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS,
2199	  leaving the residue in CC.  That happens to work for gcc's various
2200	  "model" options, but may require tuning for other compilers (report
2201	  by Sven Joachim).
2202
220320160827
2204	+ add "v" menu entry to test/ncurses.c to show baudrate and other
2205	  values.
2206	+ add "newer" baudrate symbols from Linux and FreeBSD to progs/tset.c,
2207	  lib_baudrate.c
2208	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro:
2209	  + add "uclinux" to case for "linux" (patch by Yann E. Morin)
2210	  + modify _GNU_SOURCE for cygwin headers, tested with cygwin 2.3, 2.5
2211	    (patch by Corinna Vinschen, from changes to tin).
2212	+ improve CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS macro to allow for compiler wrappers such
2213	  as "ccache" (report by Enrico Scholz).
2214	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2215		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
2216
221720160820
2218	+ update tput manual page to reflect changes to manipulate terminal
2219	  modes by sharing functions with tset.
2220	+ add the terminal-mode parts of "reset" (aka tset) to the "tput reset"
2221	  command, making the two almost the same except for window-size.
2222	+ adapt logic used in dialog "--keep-tite" option for test/filter.c as
2223	  "-a" option.  When set, test/filter attempts to suppress the
2224	  alternate screen.
2225	+ correct a typo in interix entry -TD
2226
222720160813
2228	+ add a dependency upon generated-sources in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to
2229	  handle a case of "configure && make install".
2230	+ trim trailing blanks from include/Caps*, to work around a problem
2231	  in sed (Debian #818067).
2232
223320160806
2234	+ improve CF_GNU_SOURCE configure macro to optionally define
2235	  _DEFAULT_SOURCE work around a nuisance in recent glibc releases.
2236	+ move the terminfo-specific parts of tput's "reset" function into
2237	  the shared reset_cmd.c, making the two forms of reset use the same
2238	  strings.
2239	+ split-out the terminal initialization functions from tset as
2240	  progs/reset_cmd.c, as part of changes to merge the reset-feature
2241	  with tput.
2242
224320160730
2244	+ change tset's initialization to allow it to get settings from the
2245	  standard input as well as /dev/tty, to be more effective when
2246	  output or error are redirected.
2247	+ improve discussion of history and portability for tset/reset/tput
2248	  manual pages.
2249
225020160723
2251	+ improve error message from tset/reset when both stderr/stdout are
2252	  redirected to a file or pipe.
2253	+ improve organization of curs_attr.3x, curs_color.3x
2254
225520160709
2256	+ work around Debian's antique/unmaintained version of mawk when
2257	  building link_test.
2258	+ improve test/list_keys.c, showing ncurses's convention of modifiers
2259	  for special keys, based on xterm.
2260
226120160702
2262	+ improve test/list_keys.c, using $TERM if no parameters are given.
2263
226420160625
2265	+ build-fixes for ncurses "test_progs" rule.
2266	+ amend change to CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS in 20160521 to make multilib build
2267	  work (report by Sven Joachim).
2268
226920160618
2270	+ build-fixes for ncurses-examples with NetBSD curses.
2271	+ improve test/list_keys.c, fixing column-widths and sorting the list
2272	  to make it more readable.
2273
227420160611
2275	+ revise fix for Debian #805618 (report by Vlado Potisk, cf: 20151128).
2276	+ modify test/ncurses.c a/A screens to make exiting on an escape
2277	  character depend on the start of keypad and timeout modes, to allow
2278	  better testing of function-keys.
2279	+ modify rs1 for xterm-16color, xterm-88color and xterm-256color to
2280	  reset palette using "oc" string as in linux -TD
2281	+ use ANSI reply for u8 in xterm-new, to reflect vt220-style responses
2282	  that could be returned -TD
2283	+ added a few capabilities fixed in recent vte -TD
2284
228520160604
2286	+ correct logic for -f option in test/demo_terminfo.c
2287	+ add test/list_keys.c
2288
228920160528
2290	+ further workaround for PIE/PIC breakage which causes gpm to not link.
2291	+ fix most cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses library.
2292
229320160521
2294	+ improved manual page description of tset/reset versus window-size.
2295	+ fixes to work with a slightly broken compiler configuration which
2296	  cannot compile "Hello World!" without adding compiler options
2297	  (report by Ola x Nilsson):
2298	  + pass appropriate compiler options to the CF_PROG_CC_C_O macro.
2299	  + when separating compiler and options in CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS, ensure
2300	    that all options are split-off into CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS
2301	  + restore some -I options removed in 20140726 because they appeared
2302	    to be redundant.  In fact, they are needed for a compiler that
2303	    cannot combine -c and -o options.
2304
230520160514
2306	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
2307	+ improve manual pages for wgetch and wget_wch to point out that they
2308	  might return values without names in curses.h (Debian #822426).
2309	+ make linux3.0 entry the default linux entry (Debian #823658) -TD
2310	+ modify linux2.6 entry to improve line-drawing so that the linux3.0
2311	  entry can be used in non-UTF-8 mode -TD
2312	+ document return value of use_extended_names (report by Mike Gran).
2313
231420160507
2315	+ amend change to _nc_do_color to restore the early return for the
2316	  special case used in _nc_screen_wrap (report by Dick Streefland,
2317	  cf: 20151017).
2318	+ modify test/ncurses.c:
2319	  + check return-value of putwin
2320	  + correct ifdef which made the 'g' test's legend not reflect changes
2321	    to keypad- and scroll-modes.
2322	+ correct return-value of extended putwin (report by Mike Gran).
2323
232420160423
2325	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'd' edit-color menu to optionally read xterm
2326	  color palette directly from terminal, as well as handling KEY_RESIZE
2327	  and screen-repainting with control/L and control/R.
2328	+ add 'oc' capability to xterm+256color, allowing palette reset for
2329	  xterm -TD
2330
233120160416
2332	+ add workaround in configure script for inept transition to PIE vs
2333	  PIC builds documented in
2334		  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Harden_All_Packages
2335	+ add "reset" to list of programs whose names might change in manpages
2336	  due to program-transformation configure options.
2337	+ drop long-obsolete "-n" option from tset.
2338
233920160409
2340	+ modify test/blue.c to use Unicode values for card-glyphs when
2341	  available, as well as improving the check for CP437 and CP850.
2342
234320160402
2344	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
2345	+ improve manual pages for utilities with respect to POSIX versus
2346	  X/Open Curses.
2347
234820160326
2349	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
2350	+ improve test/demo_menus.c, allowing mouse-click on the menu-headers
2351	  to switch the active menu.  This requires a new extension option
2352	  O_MOUSE_MENU to tell the menu driver to put mouse events which do not
2353	  apply to the active menu back into the queue so that the application
2354	  can handle the event.
2355
235620160319
2357	+ improve description of tgoto parameters (report by Steffen Nurpmeso).
2358	+ amend workaround for Solaris line-drawing to restore a special case
2359	  that maps Unicode line-drawing characters into the acsc string for
2360	  non-Unicode locales (Debian #816888).
2361
236220160312
2363	+ modified test/filter.c to illustrate an alternative to getnstr, that
2364	  polls for input while updating a clock on the right margin as well
2365	  as responding to window size-changes.
2366
236720160305
2368	+ omit a redefinition of "inline" when traces are enabled, since this
2369	  does not work with gcc 5.3.x MinGW cross-compiling (cf: 20150912).
2370
237120160220
2372	+ modify test/configure script to check for pthread dependency of
2373	  ncursest or ncursestw library when building ncurses examples, e.g.,
2374	  in case weak symbols are used.
2375	+ modify configure macro for shared-library rules to use -Wl,-rpath
2376	  rather than -rpath to work around a bug in scons (FreeBSD #178732,
2377	  cf: 20061021).
2378	+ double-width multibyte characters were not counted properly in
2379	  winsnstr and wins_nwstr (report/example by Eric Pruitt).
2380	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2381		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
2382
238320160213
2384	+ amend fix for _nc_ripoffline from 20091031 to make test/ditto.c work
2385	  in threaded configuration.
2386	+ move _nc_tracebits, _tracedump and _tracemouse to curses.priv.h,
2387	  since they are not part of the suggested ABI6.
2388
238920160206
2390	+ define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN for MinGW port, making builds faster.
2391	+ modify test/ditto.c to allow $XTERM_PROG environment variable to
2392	  override "xterm" as the name of the program to run in the threaded
2393	  configuration.
2394
239520160130
2396	+ improve formatting of man/curs_refresh.3x and man/tset.1 manpages
2397	+ regenerate HTML manpages using newer man2html to eliminate some
2398	  unwanted blank lines.
2399
240020160123
2401	+ ifdef'd header-file definition of mouse_trafo() with NCURSES_NOMACROS
2402	  (report by Corey Minyard).
2403	+ fix some strict compiler-warnings in traces.
2404
240520160116
2406	+ tidy up comments about hardcoded 256color palette (report by
2407	  Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
2408	+ add putty-noapp entry, and amend putty entry to use application mode
2409	  for better consistency with xterm (report by Leonardo Brondani
2410	  Schenkel) -TD
2411	+ modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to trace wide-characters
2412	  as a whole rather than their multibyte equivalents.
2413	+ minor fix in wadd_wchnstr() to ensure that each cell has nonzero
2414	  width.
2415	+ move PUTC_INIT calls next to wcrtomb calls, to avoid carry-over of
2416	  error status when processing Unicode values which are not mapped.
2417
241820160102
2419	+ modify ncurses c/C color test-screens to take advantage of wide
2420	  screens, reducing the number of lines used for 88- and 256-colors.
2421	+ minor refinement to check versus ncv to ignore two parameters of
2422	  SGR 38 and 48 when those come from color-capabilities.
2423
242420151226
2425	+ add check in tic for use of bold, etc., video attributes in the
2426	  color capabilities, accounting whether the feature is listed in ncv.
2427	+ add check in tic for conflict between ritm, rmso, rmul versus sgr0.
2428
242920151219
2430	+ add a paragraph to curs_getch.3x discussing key naming (discussion
2431	  with James Crippen).
2432	+ amend workaround for Solaris vs line-drawing to take the configure
2433	  check into account.
2434	+ add a configure check for wcwidth() versus the ncurses line-drawing
2435	  characters, to use in special-casing systems such as Solaris.
2436
243720151212
2438	+ improve CF_XOPEN_CURSES macro used in test/configure, to define as
2439	  needed NCURSES_WIDECHAR for platforms where _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
2440	  does not work.  Also modified the test program to ensure that if
2441	  building with ncurses, that the cchar_t type is checked, since that
2442	  normally is since 20111030 ifdef'd depending on this test.
2443	+ improve 20121222 workaround for broken acs, letting Solaris "work"
2444	  in spite of its misconfigured wcwidth which marks all of the line
2445	  drawing characters as double-width.
2446
244720151205
2448	+ update form_cursor.3x, form_post.3x, menu_attributes.3x to list
2449	  function names in NAME section (patch by Jason McIntyre).
2450	+ minor fixes to manpage NAME/SYNOPSIS sections to consistently use
2451	  rule that either all functions which are prototyped in SYNOPSIS are
2452	  listed in the NAME section, or the manual-page name is the sole item
2453	  listed in the NAME section.  The latter is used to reduce clutter,
2454	  e.g., for the top-level library manual pages as well as for certain
2455	  feature-pages such as SP-funcs and threading (prompted by patches by
2456	  Jason McIntyre).
2457
245820151128
2459	+ add option to preserve leading whitespace in form fields (patch by
2460	  Leon Winter).
2461	+ add missing assignment in lib_getch.c to make notimeout() work
2462	  (Debian #805618).
2463	+ add 't' toggle for notimeout() function in test/ncurses.c a/A screens
2464	+ add viewdata terminal description (Alexandre Montaron).
2465	+ fix a case in tic/infocmp for formatting capabilities where a
2466	  backslash at the end of a string was mishandled.
2467	+ fix some typos in curs_inopts.3x (Benno Schulenberg).
2468
246920151121
2470	+ fix some inconsistencies in the pccon* entries -TD
2471	+ add bold to pccon+sgr+acs and pccon-base (Tati Chevron).
2472	+ add keys f12-f124 to pccon+keys (Tati Chevron).
2473	+ add test/test_sgr.c program to exercise all combinations of sgr.
2474
247520151107
2476	+ modify tset's assignment to TERM in its output to reflect the name by
2477	  which the terminal description is found, rather than the primary
2478	  name.  That was an unnecessary part from the initial conversion of
2479	  tset from termcap to terminfo.  The termcap program in 4.3BSD did
2480	  this to avoid using the short 2-character name (report by Rich
2481	  Burridge).
2482	+ minor fix to configure script to ensure that rules for resulting.map
2483	  are only generated when needed (cf: 20151101).
2484	+ modify configure script to handle the case where tic-library is
2485	  renamed, but the --with-debug option is used by itself without
2486	  normal or shared libraries (prompted by comment in Debian #803482).
2487
248820151101
2489	+ amend change for pkg-config which allows build of pc-files when no
2490	  valid pkg-config library directory was configured to suppress the
2491	  actual install if it is not overridden to a valid directory at
2492	  install time (cf: 20150822).
2493	+ modify editing script which generates resulting.map to work with the
2494	  clang configuration on recent FreeBSD, which gives an error on an
2495	  empty "local" section.
2496	+ fix a spurious "(Part)" message in test/ncurses.c b/B tests due
2497	  to incorrect attribute-masking.

2500	+ modify MKexpanded.sh to update the expansion of a temporary filename
2501	  to "expanded.c", for use in trace statements.
2502	+ modify layout of b/B tests in test/ncurses.c to allow for additional
2503	  annotation on the right margin; some terminals with partial support

2505	+ fix typo in curs_attr.3x (patch by Sven Joachim).
2506	+ fix typo in INSTALL (patch by Tomas Cech).
2507	+ improve configure check for setting WILDCARD_SYMS variable; on ppc64
2508	  the variable is in the Data section rather than Text (patch by Michel
2509	  Normand, Novell #946048).
2510	+ using configure option "--without-fallbacks" incorrectly caused
2511	  FALLBACK_LIST to be set to "no" (patch by Tomas Cech).
2512	+ updated minitel entries to fix kel problem with emacs, and add
2513	  minitel1b-nb (Alexandre Montaron).

2519
252020151017
2521	+ modify ncurses/Makefile.in to sort keys.list in POSIX locale
2522	  (Debian #801864, patch by Esa Peuha).
2523	+ remove an early-return from _nc_do_color, which can interfere with
2524	  data needed by bkgd when ncurses is configured with extended colors
2525	  (patch by Denis Tikhomirov).
2526	> fixes for OS/2 (patches by KO Myung-Hun)

2528	+ support building with libtool on OS/2
2529	+ use stdc++ on OS/2 kLIBC
2530	+ clear cf_XOPEN_SOURCE on OS/2

2535	+ update autoconf patch to 2.52.20150926, incorporates a fix for Cdk.
2536	+ add workaround for breakage of POSIX makefiles by recent binutils
2537	  change.
2538	+ improve check for working poll() by using posix_openpt() as a
2539	  fallback in case there is no valid terminal on the standard input
2540	  (prompted by discussion on bug-ncurses mailing list, Debian #676461).
2541
254220150926
2543	+ change makefile rule for removing resulting.map to distclean rather
2544	  than clean.
2545	+ add /lib/terminfo to terminfo-dirs in ".deb" test-package.
2546	+ add note on portability of resizeterm and wresize to manual pages.

254820150919
2549	+ clarify in resizeterm.3x how KEY_RESIZE is pushed onto the input
2550	  stream.
2551	+ clarify in curs_getch.3x that the keypad mode affects ability to
2552	  read KEY_MOUSE codes, but does not affect KEY_RESIZE.
2553	+ add overlooked build-fix needed with Cygwin for separate Ada95
2554	  configure script, cf: 20150606 (report by Nicolas Boulenguez)
2555
255620150912
2557	+ fixes for configure/build using clang on OSX (prompted by report by
2558	  William Gallafent).
2559	  + do not redefine "inline" in ncurses_cfg.h; this was originally to
2560	    solve a problem with gcc/g++, but is aggravated by clang's misuse
2561	    of symbols to pretend it is gcc.
2562	  + add braces to configure script to prevent unwanted add of
2563	    "-lstdc++" to the CXXLIBS symbol.
2564	  + improve/update test-program used for checking existence of stdc++
2565	    library.
2566	  + if $CXXLIBS is set, the linkage test uses that in addition to $LIBS
2567
256820150905
2569	+ add note in curs_addch.3x about line-drawing when it depends upon
2570	  UTF-8.
2571	+ add tic -q option for consistency with infocmp, use it to suppress
2572	  all comments from the "tic -I" output.
2573	+ modify infocmp -q option to suppress the "Reconstructed from"
2574	  header.
2575	+ add infocmp/tic -Q option, which allows one to dump the compiled
2576	  form of the terminal entry, in hexadecimal or base64.
2577
257820150822
2579	+ sort options in usage message for infocmp, to make it simpler to
2580	  see unused letters.
2581	+ update usage message for tic, adding "-0" option.
2582	+ documented differences in ESCDELAY versus AIX's implementation.
2583	+ fix some compiler warnings from ports.
2584	+ modify --with-pkg-config-libdir option to make it possible to install
2585	  ".pc" files even if pkg-config is not found (adapted from patch by
2586	  Joshua Root).
2587
258820150815
2589	+ disallow "no" as a possible value for "--with-shlib-version" option,
2590	  overlooked in cleanup-changes for 20000708 (report by Tommy Alex).

2592	+ regenerate llib-* files to help with review for release notes.
2593

2604	+ update release announcement, summarizing more than 800 changes across
2605	  more than 200 snapshots.
2606	+ minor fixes to manpages, etc., to simplify linking from announcement
2607	  page.
2608
260920150725
2610	+ updated llib-* files.
2611	+ build-fixes for ncurses library "test_progs" rule.
2612	+ use alternate workaround for gcc 5.x feature (adapted from patch by

2619	  curs_outopts.3x, curs_overlay.3x, curs_pad.3x, curs_termattrs.3x
2620	  curs_trace.3x, and curs_window.3x
2621
262220150719
2623	+ correct an old logic error for %A and %O in tparm (report by "zreed").
2624	+ improve documentation for signal handlers by adding section in the
2625	  curs_initscr.3x page.
2626	+ modify logic in make_keys.c to not assume anything about the size
2627	  of strnames and strfnames variables, since those may be functions
2628	  in the thread- or broken-linker configurations (problem found by
2629	  Coverity).
2630	+ modify test/configure script to check for pthreads configuration,
2631	  e.g., ncursestw library.
2632
263320150711
2634	+ modify scripts to build/use test-packages for the pthreads
2635	  configuration of ncurses6.
2636	+ add references to ttytype and termcap symbols in demo_terminfo.c and
2637	  demo_termcap.c to ensure that when building ncursest.map, etc., that
2638	  the corresponding names such as _nc_ttytype are added to the list of
2639	  versioned symbols (report by Werner Fink)
2640	+ fix regression from 20150704 (report/patch by Werner Fink).
2641
264220150704
2643	+ fix a few problems reported by Coverity.
2644	+ fix comparison against "/usr/include" in misc/gen-pkgconfig.in

2646
264720150627
2648	+ modify configure script to remove deprecated ABI 5 symbols when
2649	  building ABI 6.
2650	+ add symbols _nc_Default_Field, _nc_Default_Form, _nc_has_mouse to
2651	  map-files, but marked as deprecated so that they can easily be
2652	  suppressed from ABI 6 builds (Debian #788610).
2653	+ comment-out "screen.xterm" entry, and inherit screen.xterm-256color
2654	  from xterm-new (report by Richard Birkett) -TD
2655	+ modify read_entry.c to set the error-return to -1 if no terminal
2656	  databases were found, as documented for setupterm.
2657	+ add test_setupterm.c to demonstrate normal/error returns from the
2658	  setupterm and restartterm functions.
2659	+ amend cleanup change from 20110813 which removed redundant definition
2660	  of ret_error, etc., from tinfo_driver.c, to account for the fact that
2661	  it should return a bool rather than int (report/analysis by Johannes
2662	  Schindelin).
2663
266420150613
2665	+ fix overflow warning for OSX with lib_baudrate.c (cf: 20010630).
2666	+ modify script used to generate map/sym files to mark 5.9.20150530 as
2667	  the last "5.9" version, and regenerated the files.  That makes the
2668	  files not use ".current" for the post-5.9 symbols.  This also
2669	  corrects the label for _nc_sigprocmask used in when weak symbols are
2670	  configured for the ncursest/ncursestw libraries (prompted by
2671	  discussion with Sven Joachim).
2672	+ fix typo in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim).
2673
267420150606 pre-release
2675	+ make ABI 6 the default by updates to dist.mk and VERSION, with the
2676	  intention that the existing ABI 5 should build as before using the
2677	  "--with-abi-version=5" option.
2678	+ regenerate ada- and man-html documentation.
2679	+ minor fixes to color- and util-manpages.
2680	+ fix a regression in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, to handle special case of
2681	  Cygwin, which uses the broken-linker feature.
2682	+ amend fix for CF_NCURSES_CONFIG used in test/configure to assume that
2683	  ncurses package scripts work when present for cross-compiling, as the
2684	  lessor of two evils (cf: 20150530).
2685	+ add check in configure script to disallow conflicting options
2686	  "--with-termlib" and "--enable-term-driver".
2687	+ move defaults for "--disable-lp64" and "--with-versioned-syms" into
2688	  CF_ABI_DEFAULTS macro.
2689
269020150530
2691	+ change private type for Event_Mask in Ada95 binding to work when
2692	  mmask_t is set to 32-bits.
2693	+ remove spurious "%;" from st entry (report by Daniel Pitts) -TD
2694	+ add vte-2014, update vte to use that -TD
2695	+ modify tic and infocmp to "move" a diagnostic for tparm strings that
2696	  have a syntax error to tic's "-c" option (report by Daniel Pitts).
2697	+ fix two problems with configure script macros (Debian #786436,
2698	  cf: 20150425, cf: 20100529).
2699
270020150523
2701	+ add 'P' menu item to test/ncurses.c, to show pad in color.
2702	+ improve discussion in curs_color.3x about color rendering (prompted
2703	  by comment on Stack Overflow forum):
2704	+ remove screen-bce.mlterm, since mlterm does not do "bce" -TD
2705	+ add several screen.XXX entries to support the respective variations
2706	  for 256 colors -TD
2707	+ add putty+fnkeys* building-block entries -TD
2708	+ add smkx/rmkx to capabilities analyzed with infocmp "-i" option.
2709
271020150516
2711	+ amend change to ".pc" files to only use the extra loader flags which
2712	  may have rpath options (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20150502).
2713	+ change versioning for dpkg's in test-packages for Ada95 and
2714	  ncurses-examples for consistency with Debian, to work with package
2715	  updates.
2716	+ regenerate html manpages.
2717	+ clarify handling of carriage return in waddch manual page; it was
2718	  discussed only in the portability section (prompted by comment on
2719	  Stack Overflow forum):
2720
272120150509
2722	+ add test-packages for cross-compiling ncurses-examples using the
2723	  MinGW test-packages.  These are only the Debian packages; RPM later.
2724	+ cleanup format of debian/copyright files
2725	+ add pc-files to the MinGW cross-compiling test-packages.
2726	+ correct a couple of places in gen-pkgconfig.in to handle renaming of
2727	  the tinfo library.
2728
272920150502
2730	+ modify the configure script to allow different default values
2731	  for ABI 5 versus ABI 6.
2732	+ add wgetch-events to test-packages.
2733	+ add a note on how to build ncurses-examples to test/README.
2734	+ fix a memory leak in delscreen (report by Daniel Kahn Gillmor,
2735	  Debian #783486) -TD
2736	+ remove unnecessary ';' from E3 capabilities -TD
2737	+ add tmux entry, derived from screen (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
2738	+ split-out recent change to nsterm-bce as nsterm-build326, and add
2739	  nsterm-build342 to reflect changes with successive releases of OSX
2740	  (discussion with Leonardo B Schenkel)
2741	+ add xon, ich1, il1 to ibm3161 (patch by Stephen Powell, Debian
2742	  #783806)
2743	+ add sample "magic" file, to document ext-putwin.
2744	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to add explicit -ltinfo, etc., to the
2745	  generated ".pc" file when ld option "--as-needed" is used, or when
2746	  ncurses and tinfo are installed without using rpath (prompted by
2747	  discussion with Sylvain Bertrand).
2748	+ modify test-package for ncurses6 to omit rpath feature when installed
2749	  in /usr.
2750	+ add OSX's "*.dSYM" to clean-rules in makefiles.
2751	+ make extra-suffix work for OSX configuration, e.g., for shared
2752	  libraries.
2753	+ modify Ada95/configure script to work with pkg-config
2754	+ move test-package for ncurses6 to /usr, since filename-conflicts have
2755	  been eliminated.
2756	+ corrected build rules for Ada95/gen/generate; it does not depend on
2757	  the ncurses library aside from headers.
2758	+ reviewed man pages, fixed a few other spelling errors.
2759	+ fix a typo in curs_util.3x (Sven Joachim).
2760	+ use extra-suffix in some overlooked shared library dependencies
2761	  found by 20150425 changes for test-packages.
2762	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2763		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
2764
276520150425
2766	+ expanded description of tgetstr's area pointer in manual page
2767	  (report by Todd M Lewis).
2768	+ in-progress changes to modify test-packages to use ncursesw6 rather
2769	  than ncursesw, with updated configure scripts.
2770	+ modify CF_NCURSES_CONFIG in Ada95- and test-configure scripts to
2771	  check for ".pc" files via pkg-config, but add a linkage check since
2772	  frequently pkg-config configurations are broken.
2773	+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to include EXTRA_LDFLAGS, e.g., for the
2774	  rpath option.
2775	+ add 'dim' capability to screen entry (report by Leonardo B Schenkel)
2776	+ add several key definitions to nsterm-bce to match preconfigured
2777	  keys, e.g., with OSX 10.9 and 10.10 (report by Leonardo B Schenkel)
2778	+ fix repeated "extra-suffix" in ncurses-config.in (cf: 20150418).
2779	+ improve term_variables manual page, adding section on the terminfo
2780	  long-name symbols which are defined in the term.h header.
2781	+ fix bug in lib_tracebits.c introduced in const-fixes (cf: 20150404).
2782
278320150418
2784	+ avoid a blank line in output from tabs program by ending it with
2785	  a carriage return as done in FreeBSD (patch by James Clarke).
2786	+ build-fix for the "--enable-ext-putwin" feature when not using
2787	  wide characters (report by Werner Fink).
2788	+ modify autoconf macros to use scripting improvement from xterm.
2789	+ add -brtl option to compiler options on AIX 5-7, needed to link
2790	  with the shared libraries.
2791	+ add --with-extra-suffix option to help with installing nonconflicting
2792	  ncurses6 packages, e.g., avoiding header- and library-conflicts.
2793	  NOTE: as a side-effect, this renames
2794		  adacurses-config to adacurses5-config and
2795		  adacursesw-config to adacursesw5-config
2796	+ modify debian/rules test package to suffix programs with "6".
2797	+ clarify in curs_inopts.3x that window-specific settings do not
2798	  inherit into new windows.
2799
280020150404
2801	+ improve description of start_color() in the manual.
2802	+ modify several files in ncurses- and progs-directories to allow
2803	  const data used in internal tables to be put by the linker into the
2804	  readonly text segment.
2805
280620150329
2807	+ correct cut/paste error for "--enable-ext-putwin" that made it the
2808	  same as "--enable-ext-colors" (report by Roumen Petrov)
2809
281020150328
2811	+ add "-f" option to test/savescreen.c to help with testing/debugging
2812	  the extended putwin/getwin.
2813	+ add logic for writing/reading combining characters in the extended
2814	  putwin/getwin.
2815	+ add "--enable-ext-putwin" configure option to turn on the extended
2816	  putwin/getwin.
2817
281820150321
2819	+ in-progress changes to provide an extended version of putwin and
2820	  getwin which will be capable of reading screen-dumps between the
2821	  wide/normal ncurses configurations.  These are text files, except
2822	  for a magic code at the beginning:
2823	  0       string          \210\210        Screen-dump (ncurses)
2824
282520150307
2826	+ document limitations of getwin in manual page (prompted by discussion
2827	  with John S Urban).

2829	  and graphic characters can be restored using getwin.
2830
283120150228

2833	  usable in an application which may/may not need the console window
2834	  (report by Grady Martin).
2835
283620150221
2837	+ capture define's related to -D_XOPEN_SOURCE from the configure check
2838	  and add those to the *-config and *.pc files, to simplify use for
2839	  the wide-character libraries.
2840	+ modify ncurses.spec to accommodate Fedora21's location of pkg-config
2841	  directory.
2842	+ correct sense of "--disable-lib-suffixes" configure option (report
2843	  by Nicolas Boos, cf: 20140426).
2844
284520150214
2846	+ regenerate html manpages using improved man2html from work on xterm.
2847	+ regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, accounting
2848	  for the "--enable-weak-symbols" configure option (report by Werner
2849	  Fink).
2850
285120150131
2852	+ regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, showing
2853	  the combinations of configure options used at each stage.
2854
285520150124
2856	+ add configure check to determine if "local: _*;" can be used in the
2857	  ".map" files to selectively omit symbols beginning with "_".  On at
2858	  least recent FreeBSD, the wildcard applies to all "_" symbols.
2859	+ remove obsolete/conflicting rule for ncurses.map from
2860	  ncurses/Makefile.in (cf:  20130706).
2861
286220150117
2863	+ improve description in INSTALL of the --with-versioned-syms option.
2864	+ add combination of --with-hashed-db and --with-ticlib to
2865	  configurations for ".map" files (report by Werner Fink).
2866
286720150110
2868	+ add a step to generating ".map" files, to declare any remaining
2869	  symbols beginning with "_" as local, at the last version node.
2870	+ improve configure checks for pkg-config, addressing a variant found
2871	  with FreeBSD ports.
2872	+ modify win_driver.c to provide characters for special keys, like
2873	  ansi.sys, when keypad mode is off, rather than returning nothing at
2874	  all (discussion with Eli Zaretskii).
2875	+ add "broken_linker" and "hashed-db" configure options to combinations
2876	  use for generating the ".map" and ".sym" files.
2877	+ avoid using "ld" directly when creating shared library, to simplify
2878	  cross-compiles.  Also drop "-Bsharable" option from shared-library
2879	  rules for FreeBSD and DragonFly (FreeBSD #196592).
2880	+ fix a memory leak in form library Free_RegularExpression_Type()
2881	  (report by Pavel Balaev).
2882
288320150103
2884	+ modify_nc_flush() to retry if interrupted (patch by Stian Skjelstad).
2885	+ change map files to make _nc_freeall a global, since it may be used
2886	  via the Ada95 binding when checking for memory leaks.
2887	+ improve sed script used in 20141220 to account for wide-, threaded-
2888	  variations in ABI 6.
2889
289020141227
2891	+ regenerate ".map" files, using step overlooked in 20141213 to use
2892	  the same patch-dates across each file to match ncurses.map (report by
2893	  Sven Joachim).
2894
289520141221
2896	+ fix an incorrect variable assignment in 20141220 changes (report by
2897	  Sven Joachim).
2898
289920141220
2900	+ updated Ada95/configure with macro changes from 20141213
2901	+ tie configure options --with-abi-version and --with-versioned-syms
2902	  together, so that ABI 6 libraries have distinct symbol versions from
2903	  the ABI 5 libraries.
2904	+ replace obsolete/nonworking link to man2html with current one,
2905	  regenerate html-manpages.
2906
290720141213
2908	+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to add -I option for include-directory
2909	  when using both --prefix and --disable-overwrite (report by Misty
2910	  De Meo).
2911	+ add configure option --with-pc-suffix to allow minor renaming of
2912	  ".pc" files and the corresponding library.  Use this in the test
2913	  package for ncurses6.
2914	+ modify configure script so that if pkg-config is not installed, it
2915	  is still possible to install ".pc" files (report by Misty De Meo).
2916	+ updated ".sym" files, removing symbols which are marked as "local"
2917	  in the corresponding ".map" files.
2918	+ updated ".map" files to reflect move of comp_captab and comp_hash
2919	  from tic-library to tinfo-library in 20090711 (report by Sven
2920	  Joachim).
2921
292220141206
2923	+ updated ".map" files so that each symbol that may be shared across
2924	  the different library configurations has the same label.  Some
2925	  review is needed to ensure these are really compatible.
2926	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to work around change in development version of
2927	  gcc introduced here:
2928		  https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-06/msg02185.html
2929		  https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-07/msg00236.html
2930	  (reports by Marcus Shawcroft, Maohui Lei).
2931	+ improved configure macro CF_SUBDIR_PATH, from lynx changes.
2932
293320141129
2934	+ improved ".map" files by generating them with a script that builds
2935	  ncurses with several related configurations and merges the results.
2936	  A further refinement is planned, to make the tic- and tinfo-library
2937	  symbols use the same versions across each of the four configurations
2938	  which are represented (reports by Sven Joachim, Werner Fink).
2939
294020141115
2941	+ improve description of limits for color values and color pairs in
2942	  curs_color.3x (prompted by patch by Tim van der Molen).
2943	+ add VERSION file, using first field in that to record the ABI version
2944	  used for configure --with-libtool --disable-libtool-version
2945	+ add configure options for applying the ".map" and ".sym" files to
2946	  the ncurses, form, menu and panel libraries.
2947	+ add ".map" and ".sym" files to show exported symbols, e.g., for
2948	  symbol-versioning.
2949
295020141101
2951	+ improve strict compiler-warnings by adding a cast in TRACE_RETURN
2952	  and making a new TRACE_RETURN1 macro for cases where the cast does
2953	  not apply.
2954
295520141025
2956	+ in-progress changes to integrate the win32 console driver with the
2957	  msys2 configuration.
2958
295920141018
2960	+ reviewed terminology 0.6.1, add function key definitions.  None of
2961	  the vt100-compatibility issues were improved -TD
2962	+ improve infocmp conversion of extended capabilities to termcap by
2963	  correcting the limit check against parametrized[], as well as filling
2964	  in a check if the string happens to have parameters, e.g., "xm"
2965	  in recent changes.
2966	+ add check for zero/negative dimensions for resizeterm and resize_term
2967	  (report by Mike Gran).
2968
296920141011
2970	+ add experimental support for xterm's 1005 mouse mode, to use in a
2971	  demonstration of its limitations.
2972	+ add experimental support for "%u" format to terminfo.
2973	+ modify test/ncurses.c to also show position reports in 'a' test.
2974	+ minor formatting fixes to _nc_trace_mmask_t, make this function
2975	  exported to help with debugging mouse changes.
2976	+ improve behavior of wheel-mice for xterm protocol, noting that there
2977	  are only button-presses for buttons "4" and "5", so there is no need
2978	  to wait to combine events into double-clicks (report/analysis by
2979	  Greg Field).
2980	+ provide examples xterm-1005 and xterm-1006 terminfo entries -TD
2981	+ implement decoder for xterm SGR 1006 mouse mode.
2982
298320140927
2984	+ implement curs_set in win_driver.c
2985	+ implement flash in win_driver.c
2986	+ fix an infinite loop in win_driver.c if the command-window loses
2987	  focus.
2988	+ improve the non-buffered mode, i.e., NCURSES_CONSOLE2, of
2989	  win_driver.c by temporarily changing the buffer-size to match the
2990	  window-size to eliminate the scrollback.  Also enforce a minimum
2991	  screen-size of 24x80 in the non-buffered mode.
2992	+ modify generated misc/Makefile to suppress install.data from the
2993	  dependencies if the --disable-db-install option is used, compensating
2994	  for the top-level makefile changes used to add ncurses*-config in the
2995	  20140920 changes (report by Steven Honeyman).
2996
299720140920
2998	+ add ncurses*-config to bin-directory of sample package-scripts.
2999	+ add check to ensure that getopt is available; this is a problem in
3000	  some older cross-compiler environments.
3001	+ expanded on the description of --disable-overwrite in INSTALL
3002	  (prompted by reports by Joakim Tjernlund, Thomas Klausner).
3003	  See Gentoo #522586 and NetBSD #49200 for examples.
3004	  which relates to the clarified guidelines.
3005	+ remove special logic from CF_INCLUDE_DIRS which adds the directory
3006	  for the --includedir from the build (report by Joakim Tjernlund).
3007	+ add case for Unixware to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, from lynx changes.
3008	+ update config.sub from
3009		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
3010
301120140913
3012	+ add a configure check to ignore some of the plethora of non-working
3013	  C++ cross-compilers.
3014	+ build-fixes for Ada95 with gnat 4.9
3015
301620140906
3017	+ build-fix and other improvements for port of ncurses-examples to
3018	  NetBSD.
3019	+ minor compiler-warning fixes.
3020
302120140831
3022	+ modify test/demo_termcap.c and test/demo_terminfo.c to make their
3023	  options more directly comparable, and add "-i" option to specify
3024	  a terminal description filename to parse for names to lookup.
3025
302620140823
3027	+ fix special case where double-width character overwrites a single-
3028	  width character in the first column (report by Egmont Koblinger,
3029	  cf: 20050813).
3030
303120140816
3032	+ fix colors in ncurses 'b' test which did not work after changing
3033	  it to put the test-strings in subwindows (cf: 20140705).
3034	+ merge redundant SEE-ALSO sections in form and menu manpages.
3035
303620140809
3037	+ modify declarations for user-data pointers in C++ binding to use
3038	  reinterpret_cast to facilitate converting typed pointers to void*
3039	  in user's application (patch by Adam Jiang).
3040	+ regenerated html manpages.
3041	+ add note regarding cause and effect for TERM in ncurses manpage,
3042	  having noted clueless verbiage in Terminal.app's "help" file
3043	  which reverses cause/effect.
3044	+ remove special fallback definition for NCURSES_ATTR_T, since macros
3045	  have resolved type-mismatches using casts (cf: 970412).
3046	+ fixes for win_driver.c:
3047	  + handle repainting on endwin/refresh combination.
3048	  + implement beep().
3049	  + minor cleanup.
3050
305120140802
3052	+ minor portability fixes for MinGW:
3053	  + ensure WINVER is defined in makefiles rather than using headers
3054	  + add check for gnatprep "-T" option
3055	  + work around bug introduced by gcc 4.8.1 in MinGW which breaks
3056	    "trace" feature:
3057	    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20877689/gcc-4-8-1-minggw-d-option-does-not-work-as-usual
3058	+ fix most compiler warnings for Cygwin ncurses-examples.
3059	+ restore "redundant" -I options in test/Makefile.in, since they are
3060	  typically needed when building the derived ncurses-examples package
3061	  (cf: 20140726).
3062
306320140726
3064	+ eliminate some redundant -I options used for building libraries, and
3065	  ensure that ${srcdir} is added to the include-options (prompted by
3066	  discussion with Paul Gilmartin).
3067	+ modify configure script to work with Minix3.2
3068	+ add form library extension O_DYNAMIC_JUSTIFY option which can be
3069	  used to override the different treatment of justification for static
3070	  versus dynamic fields (adapted from patch by Leon Winter).
3071	+ add a null pointer check in test/edit_field.c (report/analysis by
3072	  Leon Winter, cf: 20130608).
3073
307420140719
3075	+ make workarounds for compiling test-programs with NetBSD curses.
3076	+ improve configure macro CF_ADD_LIBS, to eliminate repeated -l/-L
3077	  options, from xterm changes.
3078
307920140712
3080	+ correct Charable() macro check for A_ALTCHARSET in wide-characters.
3081	+ build-fix for position-debug code in tty_update.c, to work with or
3082	  without sp-funcs.
3083
308420140705
3085	+ add w/W toggle to ncurses.c 'B' test, to demonstrate permutation of
3086	  video-attributes and colors with double-width character strings.
3087
308820140629
3089	+ correct check in win_driver.c for saving screen contents, e.g., when
3090	  NCURSES_CONSOLE2 is set (cf: 20140503).
3091	+ reorganize b/B menu items in ncurses.c, putting the test-strings into
3092	  subwindows.  This is needed for a planned change to use Unicode
3093	  fullwidth characters in the test-screens.
3094	+ correct update to form status for _NEWTOP, broken by fixes for
3095	  compiler warnings (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20120616).
3096
309720140621
3098	+ change shared-library suffix for AIX 5 and 6 to ".so", avoiding
3099	  conflict with the static library (report by Ben Lentz).
3100	+ document RPATH_LIST in INSTALLATION file, as part of workarounds for
3101	  upgrading an ncurses library using the "--with-shared" option.
3102	+ modify test/ncurses.c c/C tests to cycle through subsets of the
3103	  total number of colors, to better illustrate 8/16/88/256-colors by
3104	  providing directly comparable screens.
3105	+ add test/dots_curses.c, for comparison with the low-level examples.
3106
310720140614
3108	+ fix dereference before null check found by Coverity in tic.c
3109	  (cf: 20140524).
3110	+ fix sign-extension bug in read_entry.c which prevented "toe" from
3111	  reading empty "screen+italics" entry.
3112	+ modify sgr for screen.xterm-new to support dim capability -TD
3113	+ add dim capability to nsterm+7 -TD
3114	+ cancel dim capability for iterm -TD
3115	+ add dim, invis capabilities to vte-2012 -TD
3116	+ add sitm/ritm to konsole-base and mlterm3 -TD
3117
311820140609
3119	> fix regression in screen terminfo entries (reports by Christian
3120	  Ebert, Gabriele Balducci) -TD
3121	+ revert the change to screen; see notes for why this did not work -TD
3122	+ cancel sitm/ritm for entries which extend "screen", to work around
3123	  screen's hardcoded behavior for SGR 3 -TD
3124
312520140607
3126	+ separate masking for sgr in vidputs from sitm/ritm, which do not
3127	  overlap with sgr functionality.
3128	+ remove unneeded -i option from adacurses-config; put -a in the -I
3129	  option for consistency (patch by Pascal Pignard).
3130	+ update xterm-new terminfo entry to xterm patch #305 -TD
3131	+ change format of test-scripts for Debian Ada95 and ncurses-examples
3132	  packages to quilted to work around Debian #700177 (cf: 20130907).
3133	+ build fix for form_driver_w.c as part of ncurses-examples package for
3134	  older ncurses than 20131207.
3135	+ add Hello World example to adacurses-config manpage.
3136	+ remove unused --enable-pc-files option from Ada95/configure.
3137	+ add --disable-gnat-projects option for testing.
3138	+ revert changes to Ada95 project-files configuration (cf: 20140524).
3139	+ corrected usage message in adacurses-config.
3140
314120140524
3142	+ fix typo in ncurses manpage for the NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE
3143	  environment variable.
3144	+ improve discussion of input-echoing in curs_getch.3x
3145	+ clarify discussion in curs_addch.3x of wrapping.
3146	+ modify parametrized.h to make fln non-padded.
3147	+ correct several entries which had termcap-style padding used in
3148	  terminfo: adm21, aj510, alto-h19, att605-pc, x820 -TD
3149	+ correct syntax for padding in some entries: dg211, h19 -TD
3150	+ correct ti924-8 which had confused padding versus octal escapes -TD
3151	+ correct padding in sbi entry -TD
3152	+ fix an old bug in the termcap emulation; "%i" was ignored in tparm()
3153	  because the parameters to be incremented were already on the internal
3154	  stack (report by Corinna Vinschen).
3155	+ modify tic's "-c" option to take into account the "-C" option to
3156	  activate additional checks which compare the results from running
3157	  tparm() on the terminfo expressions versus the translated termcap
3158	  expressions.
3159	+ modify tic to allow it to read from FIFOs (report by Matthieu Fronton,
3160	  cf: 20120324).
3161	> patches by Nicolas Boulenguez:
3162	+ explicit dereferences to suppress some style warnings.
3163	+ when c_varargs_to_ada.c includes its header, use double quotes
3164	  instead of <>.
3165	+ samples/ncurses2-util.adb:  removed unused with clause.  The warning
3166	  was removed by an obsolete pragma.
3167	+ replaced Unreferenced pragmas with Warnings (Off).  The latter,
3168	  available with older GNATs, needs no configure test.  This also
3169	  replaces 3 untested Unreferenced pragmas.
3170	+ simplified To_C usage in trace handling.  Using two parameters allows
3171	  some basic formatting, and avoids a warning about security with some
3172	  compiler flags.
3173	+ for generated Ada sources, replace many snippets with one pure
3174	  package.
3175	+ removed C_Chtype and its conversions.
3176	+ removed C_AttrType and its conversions.
3177	+ removed conversions between int, Item_Option_Set, Menu_Option_Set.
3178	+ removed int, Field_Option_Set, Item_Option_Set conversions.
3179	+ removed C_TraceType, Attribute_Option_Set conversions.
3180	+ replaced C.int with direct use of Eti_Error, now enumerated.  As it
3181	  was used in a case statement, values were tested by the Ada compiler
3182	  to be consecutive anyway.
3183	+ src/Makefile.in: remove duplicate stanza
3184	+ only consider using a project for shared libraries.
3185	+ style. Silent gnat-4.9 warning about misplaced "then".
3186	+ generate shared library project to honor ADAFLAGS, LDFLAGS.
3187
318820140510
3189	+ cleanup recently introduced compiler warnings for MingW port.
3190	+ workaround for ${MAKEFLAGS} configure check versus GNU make 4.0,
3191	  which introduces more than one gratuitous incompatibility.
3192
319320140503
3194	+ add vt520ansi terminfo entry (patch by Mike Gran)
3195	+ further improve MinGW support for the scenario where there is an
3196	  ANSI-escapes handler such as ansicon running in the console window
3197	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
3198
319920140426
3200	+ add --disable-lib-suffixes option (adapted from patch by Juergen
3201	  Pfeifer).
3202	+ merge some changes from Juergen Pfeifer's work with MSYS2, to
3203	  simplify later merging:
3204	  + use NC_ISATTY() macro for isatty() in library
3205	  + add _nc_mingw_isatty() and related functions to windows-driver
3206	  + rename terminal driver entrypoints to simplify grep's
3207	+ remove a check in the sp-funcs flavor of newterm() which allowed only
3208	  the first call to newterm() to succeed (report by Thomas Beierlein,
3209	  cf: 20090927).
3210
321120140419
3212	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
3213		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
3214
321520140412
3216	+ modify configure script:
3217	  + drop the -no-gcc option from Intel compiler, from lynx changes.
3218	  + extend the --with-hashed-db configure option to simplify building
3219	    with different versions of Berkeley database using FreeBSD ports.
3220	+ improve initialization for MinGW port (Juergen Pfeifer):
3221	  + enforce Windows-style path-separator if cross-compiling,
3222	  + add a driver-name method to each of the drivers,
3223	  + allow the Windows driver name to match "unknown", ignoring case,
3224	  + lengthen the built-in name for the Windows console driver to
3225	    "#win32console", and
3226	  + move the comparison of driver-names allowing abbreviation, e.g.,
3227	    to "#win32con" into the Windows console driver.
3228
322920140329
3230	+ add check in tic for mismatch between ccc and initp/initc
3231	+ cancel ccc in putty-256color and konsole-256color for consistency
3232	  with the cancelled initc capability (patch by Sven Zuhlsdorf).
3233	+ add xterm+256setaf building block for various terminals which only
3234	  get the 256-color feature half-implemented -TD
3235	+ updated "st" entry (leaving the 0.1.1 version as "simpleterm") to
3236	  0.4.1 -TD
3237
323820140323
3239	+ fix typo in "mlterm" entry (report by Gabriele Balducci) -TD
3240
324120140322
3242	+ use types from <stdint.h> in sample build-scripts for chtype, etc.
3243	+ modify configure script and curses.h.in to allow the types specified
3244	  using --with-chtype and related options to be defined in <stdint.h>
3245	+ add terminology entry -TD
3246	+ add mlterm3 entry, use that as "mlterm" -TD
3247	+ inherit mlterm-256color from mlterm -TD
3248
324920140315
3250	+ modify _nc_New_TopRow_and_CurrentItem() to ensure that the menu's
3251	  top-row is adjusted as needed to ensure that the current item is
3252	  on the screen (patch by Johann Klammer).
3253	+ add wgetdelay() to retrieve _delay member of WINDOW if it happens to
3254	  be opaque, e.g., in the pthread configuration (prompted by patch by
3255	  Soren Brinkmann).
3256
325720140308
3258	+ modify ifdef in read_entry.c to handle the case where
3259	  NCURSES_USE_DATABASE is not defined (patch by Xin Li).
3260	+ add cast in form_driver_w() to fix ARM build (patch by Xin Li).
3261	+ add logic to win_driver.c to save/restore screen contents when not
3262	  allocating a console-buffer (cf: 20140215).
3263
326420140301
3265	+ clarify error-returns from newwin (report by Ruslan Nabioullin).
3266
326720140222
3268	+ fix some compiler warnings in win_driver.c
3269	+ updated notes for wsvt25 based on tack and vttest -TD
3270	+ add teken entry to show actual properties of FreeBSD's "xterm"
3271	  console -TD
3272
327320140215
3274	+ in-progress changes to win_driver.c to implement output without
3275	  allocating a console-buffer.  This uses a pre-existing environment
3276	  variable NCGDB used by Juergen Pfeifer for debugging (prompted by
3277	  discussion with Erwin Waterlander regarding Console2, which hangs
3278	  when reading in an allocated console-buffer).
3279	+ add -t option to gdc.c, and modify to accept "S" to step through the
3280	  scrolling-stages.
3281	+ regenerate NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the broken
3282	  html emitted by docbook.
3283
328420140209
3285	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to omit followup check to determine if
3286	  _XOPEN_SOURCE can/should be defined.  g++ 4.7.2 built on Solaris 10
3287	  has some header breakage due to its own predefinition of this symbol
3288	  (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15796).
3289
329020140201
3291	+ add/use symbol NCURSES_PAIRS_T like NCURSES_COLOR_T, to illustrate
3292	  which "short" types are for color pairs and which are color values.
3293	+ fix build for s390x, by correcting field bit offsets in generated
3294	  representation clauses when int=32 long=64 and endian=big, or at
3295	  least on s390x (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
3296	+ minor cleanup change to test/form_driver_w.c (patch by Gaute Hope).
3297
329820140125
3299	+ remove unnecessary ifdef's in Ada95/gen/gen.c, which reportedly do
3300	  not work as is with gcc 4.8 due to fixes using chtype cast made for
3301	  new compiler warnings by gcc 4.8 in 20130824 (Debian #735753, patch
3302	  by Nicolas Boulenguez).
3303
330420140118
3305	+ apply includesubdir variable which was introduced in 20130805 to
3306	  gen-pkgconfig.in (Debian #735782).

3314	+ modify configure-script/ifdef's to allow OLD_TTY feature to be
3315	  suppressed if the type of ospeed is configured using the option
3316	  --with-ospeed to not be a short.  By default, it is a short for
3317	  termcap-compatibility (adapted from suggestion by Christian
3318	  Weisgerber).
3319	+ correct a typo in _nc_baudrate() (patch by Christian Weisgerber,
3320	  cf: 20061230).

3336	  Solaris, because g++ errors with that definition (report by
3337	  Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15268).
3338	+ correct logic in infocmp's -i option which was intended to ignore
3339	  strings which correspond to function-keys as candidates for piecing
3340	  together initialization- or reset-strings.  The problem dates to
3341	  1.9.7a, but was overlooked until changes in -Wlogical-op warnings for
3342	  gcc 4.8 (report by David Binderman).
3343	+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, moving
3344	  checks for -Wextra and -Wdeclaration-after-statement into the macro,

3362
336320131027
3364	+ correct/simplify ifdef's for cur_term versus broken-linker and

342120130831
3422	+ modify test/ncurses.c b/B tests to display lines only for the
3423	  attributes which a given terminal supports, to make room for an
3424	  italics test.
3425	+ completed ncv table in terminfo.tail; it did not list the wide
3426	  character codes listed in X/Open Curses issue 7.

3439	  generic_type.
3440	+ use --without-progs in mingw-ncurses rpm.
3441	+ split out _nc_init_termtype() from alloc_entry.c to use in MinGW
3442	  port when tic and other programs are not needed.
3443
344420130805
3445	+ minor fixes to the --disable-overwrite logic, to ensure that the
3446	  configured $(includedir) is not cancelled by the mingwxx-filesystem
3447	  rpm macros.
3448	+ add --disable-db-install configure option, to simplify building
3449	  cross-compile support packages.

346620130720
3467	+ further improvements for setupterm manpage, clarifying the

3484	+ modify the clear program to take into account the E3 extended
3485	  capability to clear the terminal's scrollback buffer (patch by

3522	  --enable-reentrant options are combined (report by George R Goffe).
3523
352420130525
3525	+ modify mvcur() to distinguish between internal use by the ncurses
3526	  library, and external callers, preventing it from reading the content
3527	  of the screen which is only nonblank when curses calls have updated

3529	  the left margin of the display.
3530	+ minor fix to test/dots_mvcur.c
3531	+ move configured symbols USE_DATABASE and USE_TERMCAP to term.h as

3533	  use of these symbols in term_entry.h
3534
353520130518
3536	+ corrected ifdefs in test/testcurs.c to allow comparison of mouse

3545	  plausible "ansi consoles" -TD
3546	+ additional cleanup of table-of-contents by reordering -TD
3547	+ revise fix for check for 8-bit value in _nc_insert_ch(); prior fix
3548	  prevented inserts when video attributes were attached to the data
3549	  (cf: 20121215) (Redhat #959534).
3550
355120130504
3552	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:

3555	  + fix dead-code issue with test/movewindow.c
3556	  + improve limited-checking in _nc_read_termtype().
3557
355820130427
3559	+ fix clang 3.2 warning in progs/dump_entry.c

3563	+ add MinGW to cases where ncurses installs by default into /usr
3564	  (prompted by discussion with Daniel Silva Ferreira).
3565	+ add -D option to infocmp's usage-message (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).

3568	  Gribenko).
3569	+ improve configure check for static_cast, to work with clang 3.2
3570	  (report by Dmitri Gribenko).
3571	+ re-order rule for demo.o and macros defining header dependencies in
3572	  c++/Makefile.in to accommodate gmake (report by Dmitri Gribenko).
3573
357420130406
3575	+ improve parameter checking in copywin().
3576	+ modify configure script to work around OS X's "libtool" program, to
3577	  choose glibtool instead.  At the same time, chance the autoconf macro
3578	  to look for a "tool" rather than a "prog", to help with potential use
3579	  in cross-compiling.
3580	+ separate the rpath usage for c++ library from demo program
3581	  (Redhat #911540)
3582	+ update/correct header-dependencies in c++ makefile (report by Werner

3620	  + CF_INTEL_COMPILER, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE from luit 2.0-20130217
3621	+ add configure option --with-cxx-shared to permit building
3622	  libncurses++ as a shared library when using g++, e.g., the same
3623	  limitations as libtool but better integrated with the usual build
3624	  configuration (Redhat #911540).
3625	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to filter out build-path which was unnecessarily
3626	  shown in curses.h (Debian #689131).
3627
362820130302
3629	+ add section to terminfo manpage discussing user-defined capabilities.
3630	+ update manpage description of NCURSES_NO_SETBUF, explaining why it
3631	  is obsolete.
3632	+ add a check in waddch_nosync() to ensure that tab characters are
3633	  treated as control characters; some broken locales claim they are

3646	+ modify test/knight.c to work with mouse for pdcurses as it does for
3647	  ncurses.
3648	+ modify internal recursion in wgetch() which handles cooked mode to
3649	  check if the call to wgetnstr() returned an error.  This can happen
3650	  when both nocbreak() and nodelay() are set, for instance (report by
3651	  Nils Christopher Brause) (cf: 960418).
3652	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
3653	  + add a check for valid position in ClearToEOS()
3654	  + fix in lib_twait.c when --enable-wgetch-events is used, pointer

3662	  MinGW environment.
3663	+ if the --with-terminfo-dirs configure option is not used, there is
3664	  no corresponding compiled-in value for that.  Fill in "no default
3665	  value" for that part of the manpage substitution.
3666
366720130202
3668	+ correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make
3669	  an incorrect move (cf: 20001028).
3670	+ improve documentation of the terminfo/termcap search path.
3671
367220130126

3676	  help reduce flicker.
3677	+ modify configure script to omit "+b" from linker options for very
3678	  old HP-UX systems (report by Dennis Grevenstein)
3679	+ add HP-UX workaround for missing EILSEQ on old HP-UX systems (patch
3680	  by Dennis Grevenstein).
3681	+ restore memmove/strdup support for antique systems (request by
3682	  Dennis Grevenstein).
3683	+ change %l behavior in tparm to push the string length onto the stack
3684	  rather than saving the formatted length into the output buffer
3685	  (report by Roy Marples, cf: 980620).
3686

3696	  demonstrate behavior with/without extended capabilities.
3697	+ updated termcap manpage to document legacy termcap behavior for
3698	  matching capability names.
3699	+ modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate legacy
3700	  applications as well as to improve compatibility with BSD 4.2
3701	  termcap implementations (Debian #698299) (cf: 980725).
3702
370320130112
3704	+ correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts.
3705	+ drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they
3706	  are unused in the current driver model.
3707	+ modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses
3708	  library.
3709	+ modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage.
3710	+ amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level
3711	  putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering.
3712	  The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674).
3713
371420130105
3715	+ add "-s" option to test/view.c to allow it to start in single-step
3716	  mode, reducing size of trace files when it is used for debugging
3717	  MinGW changes.
3718	+ revert part of 20121222 change to tinfo_driver.c
3719	+ add experimental logic in win_driver.c to improve optimization of
3720	  screen updates.  This does not yet work with double-width characters,
3721	  so it is ifdef'd out for the moment (prompted by report by Erwin
3722	  Waterlander regarding screen flicker).
3723
372420121229
3725	+ fix Coverity warnings regarding copying into fixed-size buffers.
3726	+ add throw-declarations in the c++ binding per Coverity warning.
3727	+ minor changes to new-items for consistent reference to bug-report
3728	  numbers.
3729
373020121222
3731	+ add *.dSYM directories to clean-rule in ncurses directory makefile,
3732	  for Mac OS builds.
3733	+ add a configure check for gcc option -no-cpp-precomp, which is not
3734	  available in all Mac OS X configurations (report by Andras Salamon,
3735	  cf: 20011208).
3736	+ improve 20021221 workaround for broken acs, handling a case where
3737	  that ACS_xxx character is not in the acsc string but there is a known
3738	  wide-character which can be used.
3739
374020121215
3741	+ fix several warnings from clang 3.1 --analyze, includes correcting
3742	  a null-pointer check in _nc_mvcur_resume.
3743	+ correct display of double-width characters with MinGW port (report
3744	  by Erwin Waterlander).
3745	+ replace MinGW's wcrtomb(), fixing a problem with _nc_viscbuf
3746	> fixes based on Coverity report:
3747	+ correct coloring in test/bs.c
3748	+ correct check for 8-bit value in _nc_insert_ch().
3749	+ remove dead code in progs/tset.c, test/linedata.h

3751	  test-programs.
3752
375320121208
3754	+ modify test/knight.c to show the number of choices possible for
3755	  each position in automove option, e.g., to allow user to follow
3756	  Warnsdorff's rule to solve the puzzle.
3757	+ modify test/hanoi.c to show the minimum number of moves possible for
3758	  the given number of tiles (prompted by patch by Lucas Gioia).
3759	> fixes based on Coverity report:
3760	+ remove a few redundant checks.
3761	+ correct logic in test/bs.c, when randomly placing a specific type of
3762	  ship.
3763	+ check return value from remove/unlink in tic.
3764	+ check return value from sscanf in test/ncurses.c
3765	+ fix a null dereference in c++/cursesw.cc
3766	+ fix two instances of uninitialized variables when configuring for the
3767	  terminal driver.
3768	+ correct scope of variable used in SetSafeOutcWrapper macro.
3769	+ set umask when calling mkstemp in tic.
3770	+ initialize wbkgrndset() temporary variable when extended-colors are
3771	  used.
3772
377320121201
3774	+ also replace MinGW's wctomb(), fixing a problem with setcchar().
3775	+ modify test/view.c to load UTF-8 when built with MinGW by using
3776	  regular win32 API because the MinGW functions mblen() and mbtowc()
3777	  do not work.
3778
377920121124
3780	+ correct order of color initialization versus display in some of the
3781	  test-programs, e.g., test_addstr.c
3782	> fixes based on Coverity report:
3783	+ delete windows on exit from some of the test-programs.
3784
378520121117
3786	> fixes based on Coverity report:
3787	+ add missing braces around FreeAndNull in two places.
3788	+ various fixes in test/ncurses.c
3789	+ improve limit-checks in tinfo/make_hash.c, tinfo/read_entry.c
3790	+ correct malloc size in progs/infocmp.c
3791	+ guard against negative array indices in test/knight.c
3792	+ fix off-by-one limit check in test/color_name.h
3793	+ add null-pointer check in progs/tabs.c, test/bs.c, test/demo_forms.c,
3794	  test/inchs.c
3795	+ fix memory-leak in tinfo/lib_setup.c, progs/toe.c,
3796	  test/clip_printw.c, test/demo_menus.c
3797	+ delete unused windows in test/chgat.c, test/clip_printw.c,
3798	  test/insdelln.c, test/newdemo.c on error-return.
3799
380020121110
3801	+ modify configure macro CF_INCLUDE_DIRS to put $CPPFLAGS after the
3802	  local -I include options in case someone has set conflicting -I
3803	  options in $CPPFLAGS (prompted by patch for ncurses/Makefile.in by
3804	  Vassili Courzakis).
3805	+ modify the ncurses*-config scripts to eliminate relative paths from
3806	  the RPATH_LIST variable, e.g., "../lib" as used in installing shared
3807	  libraries or executables.
3808
380920121102
3810	+ realign these related pages:
3811	    curs_add_wchstr.3x
3812	    curs_addchstr.3x
3813	    curs_addstr.3x
3814	    curs_addwstr.3x
3815	  and fix a long-ago error in curs_addstr.3x which said that a -1
3816	  length parameter would only write as much as fit onto one line
3817	  (report by Reuben Thomas).
3818	+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_memmove() for memmove()/bcopy().
3819	+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_strdup() for strdup().
3820	+ cancel any debug-rpm in package/ncurses.spec
3821	+ reviewed vte-2012, reverted most of the change since it was incorrect
3822	  based on testing with tack -TD
3823	+ un-cancel the initc in vte-256color, since this was implemented
3824	  starting with version 0.20 in 2009 -TD
3825
382620121026
3827	+ improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
3828	  #866989).
3829	+ add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.
3830	+ updated configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_WITH_PATHLIST.  The
3831	  first corrects pattern used for Mac OS X's customization of gcc.
3832
383320121017
3834	+ fix change to _nc_scroll_optimize(), which incorrectly freed memory
3835	  (Redhat #866989).
3836
383720121013
3838	+ add vte-2012, gnome-2012, making these the defaults for vte/gnome
3839	  (patch by Christian Persch).
3840
384120121006
3842	+ improve CF_GCC_VERSION to work around Debian's customization of gcc
3843	  --version message.
3844	+ improve configure macros as done in byacc:
3845	  + drop 2.13 compatibility; use 2.52.xxxx version only since EMX port
3846	    has used that for a while.
3847	  + add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE's to allow autoheader to run, i.e.,
3848	    for experimental use.
3849	  + remove unused configure macros.
3850	+ modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
3851	  for LIBS_TO_MAKE variable.
3852	+ modify configure script to show $PATH_SEPARATOR variable.
3853	+ update config.guess, config.sub
3854
385520120922
3856	+ modify setupterm to set its copy of TERM to "unknown" if configured
3857	  for the terminal driver and TERM was null or empty.
3858	+ modify treatment of TERM variable for MinGW port to allow explicit
3859	  use of the windows console driver by checking if $TERM is set to
3860	  "#win32con" or an abbreviation of that.
3861	+ undo recent change to fallback definition of vsscanf() to build with
3862	  older Solaris compilers (cf: 20120728).
3863
386420120908
3865	+ add test-screens to test/ncurses to show 256-characters at a time,
3866	  to help with MinGW port.
3867
386820120903
3869	+ simplify varargs logic in lib_printw.c; va_copy is no longer needed
3870	  there.
3871	+ modifications for MinGW port to make wide-character display usable.
3872
387320120902
3874	+ regenerate configure script (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20120901).
3875
387620120901
3877	+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_flush (cf: 20120825).
3878	+ fix a case in _nc_scroll_optimize() where the _oldnums_list array
3879	  might not be allocated.
3880	+ improve comparisons in configure.in for unset shell variables.
3881
388220120826
3883	+ increase size of ncurses' output-buffer, in case of very small
3884	  initial screen-sizes.
3885	+ fix evaluation of TERMINFO and TERMINFO_DIRS default values as needed
3886	  after changes to use --datarootdir (reports by Gabriele Balducci,
3887	  Roumen Petrov).
3888
388920120825
3890	+ change output buffering scheme, using buffer maintained by ncurses
3891	  rather than stdio, to avoid problems with SIGTSTP handling (report
3892	  by Brian Bloniarz).
3893
389420120811
3895	+ update autoconf patch to 2.52.20120811, adding --datarootdir
3896	  (prompted by discussion with Erwin Waterlander).
3897	+ improve description of --enable-reentrant option in README and the
3898	  INSTALL file.
3899	+ add nsterm-256color, make this the default nsterm -TD
3900	+ remove bw from nsterm-bce, per testing with tack -TD
3901
390220120804
3903	+ update test/configure, adding check for tinfo library.
3904	+ improve limit-checks for the getch fifo (report by Werner Fink).
3905	+ fix a remaining mismatch between $with_echo and the symbols updated
3906	  for CF_DISABLE_ECHO affecting parameters for mk-2nd.awk (report by
3907	  Sven Joachim, cf:  20120317).
3908	+ modify followup check for pkg-config's library directory in the
3909	  --enable-pc-files option to validate syntax (report by Sven Joachim,
3910	  cf: 20110716).
3911
391220120728
3913	+ correct path for ncurses_mingw.h in include/headers, in case build
3914	  is done outside source-tree (patch by Roumen Petrov).
3915	+ modify some older xterm entries to align with xterm source -TD
3916	+ separate "xterm-old" alias from "xterm-r6" -TD
3917	+ add E3 extended capability to xterm-basic and putty -TD
3918	+ parenthesize parameters of other macros in curses.h -TD
3919	+ parenthesize parameter of COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER in curses.h
3920	  in case it happens to be a comma-expression, etc.  (patch by Nick
3921	  Black).
3922
392320120721
3924	+ improved form_request_by_name() and menu_request_by_name().
3925	+ eliminate two fixed-size buffers in toe.c
3926	+ extend use_tioctl() to have expected behavior when use_env(FALSE) and
3927	  use_tioctl(TRUE) are called.
3928	+ modify ncurses test-program, adding -E and -T options to demonstrate
3929	  use_env() versus use_tioctl().
3930
393120120714
3932	+ add use_tioctl() function (adapted from patch by Werner Fink,
3933	  Novell #769788):
3934
393520120707
3936	+ add ncurses_mingw.h to installed headers (prompted by patch by
3937	  Juergen Pfeifer).
3938	+ clarify return-codes from wgetch() in response to SIGWINCH (prompted
3939	  by Novell #769788).
3940	+ modify resizeterm() to always push a KEY_RESIZE onto the fifo, even
3941	  if screensize is unchanged.  Modify _nc_update_screensize() to push a
3942	  KEY_RESIZE if there was a SIGWINCH, even if it does not call
3943	  resizeterm().  These changes eliminate the case where a SIGWINCH is
3944	  received, but ERR returned from wgetch or wgetnstr because the screen
3945	  dimensions did not change (Novell #769788).
3946
394720120630
3948	+ add --enable-interop to sample package scripts (suggested by Juergen
3949	  Pfeifer).
3950	+ update CF_PATH_SYNTAX macro, from mawk changes.
3951	+ modify mk-0th.awk to allow for generating llib-ltic, etc., though
3952	  some work is needed on cproto to work with lib_gen.c to update
3953	  llib-lncurses.
3954	+ remove redundant getenv() cal in database-iterator leftover from
3955	  cleanup in 20120622 changes (report by Sven Joachim).
3956
395720120622
3958	+ add -d, -e and -q options to test/demo_terminfo and test/demo_termcap
3959	+ fix caching of environment variables in database-iterator (patch by
3960	  Philippe Troin, Redhat #831366).
3961
396220120616
3963	+ add configure check to distinguish clang from gcc to eliminate
3964	  warnings about unused command-line parameters when compiler warnings
3965	  are enabled.
3966	+ improve behavior when updating terminfo entries which are hardlinked
3967	  by allowing for the possibility that an alias has been repurposed to
3968	  a new primary name.
3969	+ fix some strict compiler warnings based on package scripts.
3970	+ further fixes for configure check for working poll (Debian #676461).
3971
397220120608
3973	+ fix an uninitialized variable in -c/-n logic for infocmp changes
3974	  (cf: 20120526).
3975	+ corrected fix for building c++ binding with clang 3.0 (report/patch
3976	  by Richard Yao, Gentoo #417613, cf: 20110409)
3977	+ correct configure check for working poll, fixing the case where stdin
3978	  is redirected, e.g., in rpm/dpkg builds (Debian #676461).
3979	+ add rpm- and dpkg-scripts, to test those build-environments.
3980	  The resulting packages are used only for testing.
3981
398220120602
3983	+ add kdch1 aka "Remove" to vt220 and vt220-8 entries -TD
3984	+ add kdch1, etc., to qvt108 -TD
3985	+ add dl1/il1 to some entries based on dl/il values -TD
3986	+ add dl to simpleterm -TD
3987	+ add consistency-checks in tic for insert-line vs delete-line
3988	  controls, and insert/delete-char keys
3989	+ correct no-leaks logic in infocmp when doing comparisons, fixing
3990	  duplicate free of entries given via the command-line, and freeing
3991	  entries loaded from the last-but-one of files specified on the
3992	  command-line.
3993	+ add kdch1 to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (reported by David Lord,
3994	  analysis by Martin Husemann).
3995	+ add cnorm/civis to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (report/analysis by
3996	  Onno van der Linden).
3997
399820120526
3999	+ extend -c and -n options of infocmp to allow comparing more than two
4000	  entries.
4001	+ correct check in infocmp for number of terminal names when more than
4002	  two are given.
4003	+ correct typo in curs_threads.3x (report by Yanhui Shen on
4004	  freebsd-hackers mailing list).
4005
400620120512
4007	+ corrected 'op' for bterm (report by Samuel Thibault) -TD
4008	+ modify test/background.c to demonstrate a background character
4009	  holding a colored ACS_HLINE.  The behavior differs from SVr4 due to
4010	  the thick- and double-line extension (cf: 20091003).
4011	+ modify handling of acs characters in PutAttrChar to avoid mapping an
4012	  unmapped character to a space with A_ALTCHARSET set.
4013	+ rewrite vt520 entry based on vt420 -TD
4014
401520120505
4016	+ remove p6 (bold) from opus3n1+ for consistency -TD
4017	+ remove acs stuff from env230 per clues in Ingres termcap -TD
4018	+ modify env230 sgr/sgr0 to match other capabilities -TD
4019	+ modify smacs/rmacs in bq300-8 to match sgr/sgr0 -TD
4020	+ make sgr for dku7202 agree with other caps -TD
4021	+ make sgr for ibmpc agree with other caps -TD
4022	+ make sgr for tek4107 agree with other caps -TD
4023	+ make sgr for ndr9500 agree with other caps -TD
4024	+ make sgr for sco-ansi agree with other caps -TD
4025	+ make sgr for d410 agree with other caps -TD
4026	+ make sgr for d210 agree with other caps -TD
4027	+ make sgr for d470c, d470c-7b agree with other caps -TD
4028	+ remove redundant AC_DEFINE for NDEBUG versus Makefile definition.
4029	+ fix a back-link in _nc_delink_entry(), which is needed if ncurses is
4030	  configured with --enable-termcap and --disable-getcap.
4031
403220120428
4033	+ fix some inconsistencies between vt320/vt420, e.g., cnorm/civis -TD
4034	+ add eslok flag to dec+sl -TD
4035	+ dec+sl applies to vt320 and up -TD
4036	+ drop wsl width from xterm+sl -TD
4037	+ reuse xterm+sl in putty and nsca-m -TD
4038	+ add ansi+tabs to vt520 -TD
4039	+ add ansi+enq to vt220-vt520 -TD
4040	+ fix a compiler warning in example in ncurses-intro.doc (Paul Waring).
4041	+ added paragraph in keyname manpage telling how extended capabilities
4042	  are interpreted as key definitions.
4043	+ modify tic's check of conflicting key definitions to include extended
4044	  capability strings in addition to the existing check on predefined
4045	  keys.
4046
404720120421
4048	+ improve cleanup of temporary files in tic using atexit().
4049	+ add msgr to vt420, similar DEC vtXXX entries -TD
4050	+ add several missing vt420 capabilities from vt220 -TD
4051	+ factor out ansi+pp from several entries -TD
4052	+ change xterm+sl and xterm+sl-twm to include only the status-line
4053	  capabilities and not "use=xterm", making them more generally useful
4054	  as building-blocks -TD
4055	+ add dec+sl building block, as example -TD
4056
405720120414
4058	+ add XT to some terminfo entries to improve usefulness for other
4059	  applications than screen, which would like to pretend that xterm's
4060	  title is a status-line.  -TD
4061	+ change use-clauses in ansi-mtabs, hp2626, and hp2622 based on review
4062	  of ordering and overrides -TD
4063	+ add consistency check in tic for screen's "XT" capability.
4064	+ add section in terminfo.src summarizing the user-defined capabilities
4065	  used in that file -TD
4066
406720120407
4068	+ fix an inconsistency between tic/infocmp "-x" option; tic omits all
4069	  non-standard capabilities, while infocmp was ignoring only the user
4070	  definable capabilities.
4071	+ improve special case in tic parsing of description to allow it to be
4072	  followed by terminfo capabilities.  Previously the description had to
4073	  be the last field on an input line to allow tic to distinguish
4074	  between termcap and terminfo format while still allowing commas to be
4075	  embedded in the description.
4076	+ correct variable name in gen_edit.sh which broke configurability of
4077	  the --with-xterm-kbs option.
4078	+ revert 2011-07-16 change to "linux" alias, return to "linux2.2" -TD
4079	+ further amend 20110910 change, providing for configure-script
4080	  override of the "linux" terminfo entry to install and changing the
4081	  default for that to "linux2.2" (Debian #665959).
4082
408320120331
4084	+ update Ada95/configure to use CF_DISABLE_ECHO (cf: 20120317).
4085	+ correct order of use-clauses in st-256color -TD
4086	+ modify configure script to look for gnatgcc if the Ada95 binding
4087	  is built, in preference to the default gcc/cc (suggested by
4088	  Nicolas Boulenguez).
4089	+ modify configure script to ensure that the same -On option used for
4090	  the C compiler in CFLAGS is used for ADAFLAGS rather than simply
4091	  using "-O3" (suggested by Nicolas Boulenguez)
4092
409320120324
4094	+ amend an old fix so that next_char() exits properly for empty files,
4095	  e.g., from reading /dev/null (cf: 20080804).
4096	+ modify tic so that it can read from the standard input, or from
4097	  a character device.  Because tic uses seek's, this requires writing
4098	  the data to a temporary file first (prompted by remark by Sven
4099	  Joachim) (cf: 20000923).
4100
410120120317
4102	+ correct a check made in lib_napms.c, so that terminfo applications
4103	  can again use napms() (cf: 20110604).
4104	+ add a note in tic.h regarding required casts for ABSENT_BOOLEAN
4105	  (cf: 20040327).
4106	+ correct scripting for --disable-echo option in test/configure.
4107	+ amend check for missing c++ compiler to work when no error is
4108	  reported, and no variables set (cf: 20021206).
4109	+ add/use configure macro CF_DISABLE_ECHO.
4110
411120120310
4112	+ fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits.
4113	+ use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303).
4114	+ improve a limit-check in infocmp.c (Werner Fink):
4115
411620120303
4117	+ minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation
4118	  regarding mapping of \0 to \200
4119	+ minor improvement to _nc_copy_termtype(), using memcpy to replace
4120	  loops.
4121	+ fix no-leaks checking in test/demo_termcap.c to account for multiple
4122	  calls to setupterm().
4123	+ modified the libgpm change to show previous load as a problem in the
4124	  debug-trace.
4125	> merge some patches from OpenSUSE rpm (Werner Fink):
4126	+ ncurses-5.7-printw.dif, fixes for varargs handling in lib_printw.c
4127	+ ncurses-5.7-gpm.dif, do not dlopen libgpm if already loaded by
4128	  runtime linker
4129	+ ncurses-5.6-fallback.dif, do not free arrays and strings from static
4130	  fallback entries
4131
413220120228
4133	+ fix breakage in tic/infocmp from 20120225 (report by Werner Fink).
4134
413520120225
4136	+ modify configure script to allow creating dll's for MinGW when
4137	  cross-compiling.
4138	+ add --enable-string-hacks option to control whether strlcat and
4139	  strlcpy may be used.  The same issue applies to OpenBSD's warnings
4140	  about snprintf, noting that this function is weakly standardized.
4141	+ add configure checks for strlcat, strlcpy and snprintf, to help
4142	  reduce bogus warnings with OpenBSD builds.
4143	+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 to supply consistent intptr_t declaration
4144	  (cf:20111231)
4145	+ update config.guess, config.sub
4146
414720120218
4148	+ correct CF_ETIP_DEFINES configure macro, making it exit properly on
4149	  the first success (patch by Pierre Labastie).
4150	+ improve configure macro CF_MKSTEMP by moving existence-check for
4151	  mkstemp out of the AC_TRY_RUN, to help with cross-compiles.
4152	+ improve configure macro CF_FUNC_POLL from luit changes to detect
4153	  broken implementations, e.g., with Mac OS X.
4154	+ add configure option --with-tparm-arg
4155	+ build-fix for MinGW cross-compiling, so that make_hash does not
4156	  depend on TTY definition (cf: 20111008).
4157
415820120211
4159	+ make sgr for xterm-pcolor agree with other caps -TD
4160	+ make sgr for att5425 agree with other caps -TD
4161	+ make sgr for att630 agree with other caps -TD
4162	+ make sgr for linux entries agree with other caps -TD
4163	+ make sgr for tvi9065 agree with other caps -TD
4164	+ make sgr for ncr260vt200an agree with other caps -TD
4165	+ make sgr for ncr160vt100pp agree with other caps -TD
4166	+ make sgr for ncr260vt300an agree with other caps -TD
4167	+ make sgr for aaa-60-dec-rv, aaa+dec agree with other caps -TD
4168	+ make sgr for cygwin, cygwinDBG agree with other caps -TD
4169	+ add configure option --with-xterm-kbs to simplify configuration for
4170	  Linux versus most other systems.
4171
417220120204
4173	+ improved tic -D option, avoid making target directory and provide
4174	  better diagnostics.
4175
417620120128
4177	+ add mach-gnu (Debian #614316, patch by Samuel Thibault)
4178	+ add mach-gnu-color, tweaks to mach-gnu terminfo -TD
4179	+ make sgr for sun-color agree with smso -TD
4180	+ make sgr for prism9 agree with other caps -TD
4181	+ make sgr for icl6404 agree with other caps -TD
4182	+ make sgr for ofcons agree with other caps -TD
4183	+ make sgr for att5410v1, att4415, att620 agree with other caps -TD
4184	+ make sgr for aaa-unk, aaa-rv agree with other caps -TD
4185	+ make sgr for avt-ns agree with other caps -TD
4186	+ amend fix intended to separate fixups for acsc to allow "tic -cv" to
4187	  give verbose warnings (cf:  20110730).
4188	+ modify misc/gen-edit.sh to make the location of the tabset directory
4189	  consistent with misc/Makefile.in, i.e., using ${datadir}/tabset
4190	  (Debian #653435, patch by Sven Joachim).
4191
419220120121
4193	+ add --with-lib-prefix option to allow configuring for old/new flavors
4194	  of OS/2 EMX.
4195	+ modify check for gnat version to allow for year, as used in FreeBSD
4196	  port.
4197	+ modify check_existence() in db_iterator.c to simply check if the
4198	  path is a directory or file, according to the need.  Checking for
4199	  directory size also gives no usable result with OS/2 (cf: 20120107).
4200	+ support OS/2 kLIBC (patch by KO Myung-Hun).
4201
420220120114
4203	+ several improvements to test/movewindow.c (prompted by discussion on
4204	  Linux Mint forum):
4205	  + modify movement commands to make them continuous
4206	  + rewrote the test for mvderwin
4207	  + rewrote the test for recursive mvwin
4208	+ split-out reusable CF_WITH_NCURSES_ETC macro in test/configure.in
4209	+ updated configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, build-fixes for Mac OS X
4210	  and OpenBSD.
4211	+ regenerated html manpages.
4212
421320120107
4214	+ various improvements for MinGW (Juergen Pfeifer):
4215	  + modify stat() calls to ignore the st_size member
4216	  + drop mk-dlls.sh script.
4217	  + change recommended regular expression library.
4218	  + modify rain.c to allow for threaded configuration.
4219	  + modify tset.c to allow for case when size-change logic is not used.
4220
422120111231
4222	+ modify toe's report when -a and -s options are combined, to add
4223	  a column showing which entries belong to a given database.
4224	+ add -s option to toe, to sort its output.
4225	+ modify progs/toe.c, simplifying use of db-iterator results to use
4226	  caching improvements from 20111001 and 20111126.
4227	+ correct generation of pc-files when ticlib or termlib options are
4228	  given to rename the corresponding tic- or tinfo-libraries (report
4229	  by Sven Joachim).
4230
423120111224
4232	+ document a portability issue with tput, i.e., that scripts which work
4233	  with ncurses may fail in other implementations that do no parameter
4234	  analysis.
4235	+ add putty-sco entry -TD
4236
423720111217
4238	+ review/fix places in manpages where --program-prefix configure option
4239	  was not being used.
4240	+ add -D option to infocmp, to show the database locations that it
4241	  could use.
4242	+ fix build for the special case where term-driver, ticlib and termlib
4243	  are all enabled.  The terminal driver depends on a few features in
4244	  the base ncurses library, so tic's dependencies include both ncurses
4245	  and termlib.
4246	+ fix build work for term-driver when --enable-wgetch-events option is
4247	  enabled.
4248	+ use <stdint.h> types to fix some questionable casts to void*.
4249
425020111210
4251	+ modify configure script to check if thread library provides
4252	  pthread_mutexattr_settype(), e.g., not provided by Solaris 2.6
4253	+ modify configure script to suppress check to define _XOPEN_SOURCE
4254	  for IRIX64, since its header files have a conflict versus
4255	  _SGI_SOURCE.
4256	+ modify configure script to add ".pc" files for tic- and
4257	  tinfo-libraries, which were omitted in recent change (cf: 20111126).
4258	+ fix inconsistent checks on $PKG_CONFIG variable in configure script.
4259
426020111203
4261	+ modify configure-check for etip.h dependencies, supplying a temporary
4262	  copy of ncurses_dll.h since it is a generated file (prompted by
4263	  Debian #646977).
4264	+ modify CF_CPP_PARAM_INIT "main" function to work with current C++.
4265
426620111126
4267	+ correct database iterator's check for duplicate entries
4268	  (cf: 20111001).
4269	+ modify database iterator to ignore $TERMCAP when it is not an
4270	  absolute pathname.
4271	+ add -D option to tic, to show the database locations that it could
4272	  use.
4273	+ improve description of database locations in tic manpage.
4274	+ modify the configure script to generate a list of the ".pc" files to
4275	  generate, rather than deriving the list from the libraries which have
4276	  been built (patch by Mike Frysinger).
4277	+ use AC_CHECK_TOOLS in preference to AC_PATH_PROGS when searching for
4278	  ncurses*-config, e.g., in Ada95/configure and test/configure (adapted
4279	  from patch by Mike Frysinger).
4280
428120111119
4282	+ remove obsolete/conflicting fallback definition for _POSIX_SOURCE
4283	  from curses.priv.h, fixing a regression with IRIX64 and Tru64
4284	  (cf: 20110416)
4285	+ modify _nc_tic_dir() to ensure that its return-value is nonnull,
4286	  i.e., the database iterator was not initialized.  This case is needed
4287	  to when tic is translating to termcap, rather than loading the
4288	  database (cf:  20111001).
4289
429020111112
4291	+ add pccon entries for OpenBSD console (Alexei Malinin).
4292	+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 with gcc 4.2.1, setting _XOPEN_SOURCE to
4293	  600 to work around inconsistent ifdef'ing of wcstof between C and
4294	  C++ header files.
4295	+ modify capconvert script to accept more than exact match on "xterm",
4296	  e.g., the "xterm-*" variants, to exclude from the conversion (patch
4297	  by Robert Millan).
4298	+ add -lc_r as alternative for -lpthread, allows build of threaded code
4299	  in older FreeBSD machines.
4300	+ build-fix for MirBSD, which fails when either _XOPEN_SOURCE or
4301	  _POSIX_SOURCE are defined.
4302	+ fix a typo misc/Makefile.in, used in uninstalling pc-files.
4303
430420111030
4305	+ modify make_db_path() to allow creating "terminfo.db" in the same
4306	  directory as an existing "terminfo" directory.  This fixes a case
4307	  where switching between hashed/filesystem databases would cause the
4308	  new hashed database to be installed in the next best location -
4309	  root's home directory.
4310	+ add variable cf_cv_prog_gnat_correct to those passed to
4311	  config.status, fixing a problem with Ada95 builds (cf: 20111022).
4312	+ change feature test from _XPG5 to _XOPEN_SOURCE in two places, to
4313	  accommodate broken implementations for _XPG6.
4314	+ eliminate usage of NULL symbol from etip.h, to reduce header
4315	  interdependencies.
4316	+ add configure check to decide when to add _XOPEN_SOURCE define to
4317	  compiler options, i.e., for Solaris 10 and later (cf: 20100403).
4318	  This is a workaround for gcc 4.6, which fails to build the c++
4319	  binding if that symbol is defined by the application, due to
4320	  incorrectly combining the corresponding feature test macros
4321	  (report by Peter Kruse).
4322
432320111022
4324	+ correct logic for discarding mouse events, retaining the partial
4325	  events used to build up click, double-click, etc, until needed
4326	  (cf: 20110917).
4327	+ fix configure script to avoid creating unused Ada95 makefile when
4328	  gnat does not work.
4329	+ cleanup width-related gcc 3.4.3 warnings for 64-bit platform, for the
4330	  internal functions of libncurses.  The external interface of courses
4331	  uses bool, which still produces these warnings.
4332
433320111015
4334	+ improve description of --disable-tic-depends option to make it
4335	  clear that it may be useful whether or not the --with-termlib
4336	  option is also given (report by Sven Joachim).
4337	+ amend termcap equivalent for set_pglen_inch to use the X/Open
4338	  "YI" rather than the obsolete Solaris 2.5 "sL" (cf: 990109).
4339	+ improve manpage for tgetent differences from termcap library.
4340
434120111008
4342	+ moved static data from db_iterator.c to lib_data.c
4343	+ modify db_iterator.c for memory-leak checking, fix one leak.
4344	+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to use Requires.private for the parts
4345	  of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the
4346	  other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728).
4347
434820111001
4349	+ modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force
4350	  source-output.  That allows the same flag to control the parser for
4351	  input and output of termcap source.
4352	+ modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line,
4353	  making it consistent with ncurses' parser.
4354	+ restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap
4355	  text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924).
4356	+ modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the
4357	  conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is
4358	  normally following in the source file.  Also improved the warning
4359	  message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem.
4360	+ improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list.
4361
436220110925
4363	+ add a missing "else" in changes to _nc_read_tic_entry().
4364
436520110924
4366	+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() so that hashed-database is checked before
4367	  filesystem.
4368	+ updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
4369	+ modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
4370	  TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
4371	  to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick
4372	  Alcock aka "Nix").
4373	+ build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (cf: 20110917).
4374
437520110917
4376	+ fix compiler warning for clang 2.9
4377	+ improve merging of mouse events (integrated patch by Damien
4378	  Guibouret).
4379	+ correct mask-check used in lib_mouse for wheel mouse buttons 4/5
4380	  (patch by Damien Guibouret).
4381
438220110910
4383	+ modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with
4384	  the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0"
4385	  (cf: 20110716).
4386	+ revert a change to getmouse() which had the undesirable side-effect
4387	  of suppressing button-release events (report by Damien Guibouret,
4388	  cf: 20100102).
4389	+ add xterm+kbs fragment from xterm #272 -TD
4390	+ add configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir to provide control over
4391	  the actual directory into which pc-files are installed, do not use
4392	  the pkg-config environment variables (discussion with Frederic L W
4393	  Meunier).
4394	+ add link to mailing-list archive in announce.html.in, as done in
4395	  FAQ (prompted by question by Andrius Bentkus).
4396	+ improve manpage install by adjusting the "#include" examples to
4397	  show the ncurses-subdirectory used when --disable-overwrite option
4398	  is used.
4399	+ install an alias for "curses" to the ncurses manpage, tied to the
4400	  --with-curses-h configure option (suggested by Reuben Thomas).
4401
440220110903
4403	+ propagate error-returns from wresize, i.e., the internal
4404	  increase_size and decrease_size functions through resize_term (report
4405	  by Tim van der Molen, cf:  20020713).
4406	+ fix typo in tset manpage (patch by Sven Joachim).
4407
440820110820
4409	+ add a check to ensure that termcap files which might have "^?" do
4410	  not use the terminfo interpretation as "\177".
4411	+ minor cleanup of X-terminal emulator section of terminfo.src -TD
4412	+ add terminator entry -TD
4413	+ add simpleterm entry -TD
4414	+ improve wattr_get macros by ensuring that if the window pointer is
4415	  null, then the attribute and color values returned will be zero
4416	  (cf: 20110528).
4417
441820110813
4419	+ add substitution for $RPATH_LIST to misc/ncurses-config.in
4420	+ improve performance of tic with hashed-database by caching the
4421	  database connection, using atexit() to cleanup.
4422	+ modify treatment of 2-character aliases at the beginning of termcap
4423	  entries so they are not counted in use-resolution, since these are
4424	  guaranteed to be unique.  Also ignore these aliases when reporting
4425	  the primary name of the entry (cf: 20040501)
4426	+ double-check gn (generic) flag in terminal descriptions to
4427	  accommodate old/buggy termcap databases which misused that feature.
4428	+ minor fixes to _nc_tgetent(), ensure buffer is initialized even on
4429	  error-return.
4430
443120110807
4432	+ improve rpath fix from 20110730 by ensuring that the new $RPATH_LIST
4433	  variable is defined in the makefiles which use it.
4434	+ build-fix for DragonFlyBSD's pkgsrc in test/configure script.
4435	+ build-fixes for NetBSD 5.1 with termcap support enabled.
4436	+ corrected k9 in dg460-ansi, add other features based on manuals -TD
4437	+ improve trimming of whitespace at the end of terminfo/termcap output
4438	  from tic/infocmp.
4439	+ when writing termcap source, ensure that colons in the description
4440	  field are translated to a non-delimiter, i.e., "=".
4441	+ add "-0" option to tic/infocmp, to make the termcap/terminfo source
4442	  use a single line.
4443	+ add a null-pointer check when handling the $CC variable.
4444
444520110730
4446	+ modify configure script and makefiles in c++ and progs to allow the
4447	  directory used for rpath option to be overridden, e.g., to work
4448	  around updates to the variables used by tic during an install.
4449	+ add -K option to tic/infocmp, to provide stricter BSD-compatibility
4450	  for termcap output.
4451	+ add _nc_strict_bsd variable in tic library which controls the
4452	  "strict" BSD termcap compatibility from 20110723, plus these
4453	  features:
4454	  + allow escapes such as "\8" and "\9" when reading termcap
4455	  + disallow "\a", "\e", "\l", "\s" and "\:" escapes when reading
4456	    termcap files, passing through "a", "e", etc.
4457	  + expand "\:" as "\072" on output.
4458	+ modify _nc_get_token() to reset the token's string value in case
4459	  there is a string-typed token lacking the "=" marker.
4460	+ fix a few memory leaks in _nc_tgetent.
4461	+ fix a few places where reading from a termcap file could refer to
4462	  freed memory.
4463	+ add an overflow check when converting terminfo/termcap numeric
4464	  values, since terminfo stores those in a short, and they must be
4465	  positive.
4466	+ correct internal variables used for translating to termcap "%>"
4467	  feature, and translating from termcap %B to terminfo, needed by
4468	  tctest (cf: 19991211).
4469	+ amend a minor fix to acsc when loading a termcap file to separate it
4470	  from warnings needed for tic (cf: 20040710)
4471	+ modify logic in _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_tic_entry() to allow
4472	  a termcap file to be handled via TERMINFO_DIRS.
4473	+ modify _nc_infotocap() to include non-mandatory padding when
4474	  translating to termcap.
4475	+ modify _nc_read_termcap_entry(), passing a flag in the case where
4476	  getcap is used, to reduce interactive warning messages.
4477
447820110723
4479	+ add a check in start_color() to limit color-pairs to 256 when
4480	  extended colors are not supported (patch by David Benjamin).
4481	+ modify setcchar to omit no-longer-needed OR'ing of color pair in
4482	  the SetAttr() macro (patch by David Benjamin).
4483	+ add kich1 to sun terminfo entry (Yuri Pankov)
4484	+ use bold rather than reverse for smso in sun-color terminfo entry
4485	  (Yuri Pankov).
4486	+ improve generation of termcap using tic/infocmp -C option, e.g.,
4487	  to correspond with 4.2BSD (prompted by discussion with Yuri Pankov
4488	  regarding Schilling's test program):
4489	  + translate %02 and %03 to %2 and %3 respectively.
4490	  + suppress string capabilities which use %s, not supported by tgoto
4491	  + use \040 rather than \s
4492	  + expand null characters as \200 rather than \0
4493	+ modify configure script to support shared libraries for DragonFlyBSD.
4494
449520110716
4496	+ replace an assert() in _nc_Free_Argument() with a regular null
4497	  pointer check (report/analysis by Franjo Ivancic).
4498	+ modify configure --enable-pc-files option to take into account the
4499	  PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
4500	+ add/use xterm+tmux chunk from xterm #271 -TD
4501	+ resync xterm-new entry from xterm #271 -TD
4502	+ add E3 extended capability to linux-basic (Miroslav Lichvar)
4503	+ add linux2.2, linux2.6, linux3.0 entries to give context for E3 -TD
4504	+ add SI/SO change to linux2.6 entry (Debian #515609) -TD
4505	+ fix inconsistent tabset path in pcmw (Todd C. Miller).
4506	+ remove a backslash which continued comment, obscuring altos3
4507	  definition with OpenBSD toolset (Nicholas Marriott).
4508
450920110702
4510	+ add workaround from xterm #271 changes to ensure that compiler flags
4511	  are not used in the $CC variable.
4512	+ improve support for shared libraries, tested with AIX 5.3, 6.1 and

4514	+ modify configure checks for AIX to include release 7.x
4515	+ add loader flags/libraries to libtool options so that dynamic loading
4516	  works properly, adapted from ncurses-5.7-ldflags-with-libtool.patch
4517	  at gentoo prefix repository (patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
4518
451920110626
4520	+ move include of nc_termios.h out of term_entry.h, since the latter
4521	  is installed, e.g., for tack while the former is not (report by
4522	  Sven Joachim).
4523
452420110625
4525	+ improve cleanup() function in lib_tstp.c, using _exit() rather than
4526	  exit() and checking for SIGTERM rather than SIGQUIT (prompted by
4527	  comments forwarded by Nicholas Marriott).
4528	+ reduce name pollution from term.h, moving fallback #define's for
4529	  tcgetattr(), etc., to new private header nc_termios.h (report by
4530	  Sergio NNX).
4531	+ two minor fixes for tracing (patch by Vassili Courzakis).
4532	+ improve trace initialization by starting it in use_env() and
4533	  ripoffline().
4534	+ review old email, add details for some changelog entries.
4535
453620110611
4537	+ update minix entry to minix 3.2 (Thomas Cort).
4538	+ fix a strict compiler warning in change to wattr_get (cf: 20110528).
4539
454020110604
4541	+ fixes for MirBSD port:
4542	  + set default prefix to /usr.
4543	  + add support for shared libraries in configure script.
4544	  + use S_ISREG and S_ISDIR consistently, with fallback definitions.
4545	+ add a few more checks based on ncurses/link_test.
4546	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle sp-funcs renaming of NCURSES_OUTC type.
4547
454820110528
4549	+ add case to CF_SHARED_OPTS for Interix (patch by Markus Duft).
4550	+ used ncurses/link_test to check for behavior when the terminal has
4551	  not been initialized and when an application passes null pointers
4552	  to the library.  Added checks to cover this (prompted by Redhat
4553	  #707344).
4554	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to make its main() function call each function
4555	  with zero parameters, to help find inconsistent checking for null
4556	  pointers, etc.
4557
455820110521
4559	+ fix warnings from clang 2.7 "--analyze"
4560
456120110514
4562	+ compiler-warning fixes in panel and progs.
4563	+ modify CF_PKG_CONFIG macro, from changes to tin -TD
4564	+ modify CF_CURSES_FUNCS configure macro, used in test directory

4567	    test-expression to be omitted from executable.
4568	  + force the linker to see a link-time expression of a symbol, to
4569	    help work around weak-symbol issues.
4570
457120110507
4572	+ update discussion of MKfallback.sh script in INSTALL; normally the
4573	  script is used automatically via the configured makefiles.  However
4574	  there are still occasions when it might be used directly by packagers
4575	  (report by Gunter Schaffler).
4576	+ modify misc/ncurses-config.in to omit the "-L" option from the
4577	  "--libs" output if the library directory is /usr/lib.
4578	+ change order of tests for curses.h versus ncurses.h headers in the
4579	  configure scripts for Ada95 and test-directories, to look for
4580	  ncurses.h, from fixes to tin -TD

4582	  (report by Joachim Schmitz).
4583
458420110430
4585	+ modify rules in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to ensure that the PIC option
4586	  is not used when building a static library (report by Nicolas
4587	  Boulenguez):
4588	+ Ada95 build-fix for big-endian architectures such as sparc.  This
4589	  undoes one of the fixes from 20110319, which added an "Unused" member
4590	  to representation clauses, replacing that with pragmas to suppress
4591	  warnings about unused bits (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
4592
459320110423
4594	+ add check in test/configure for use_window, use_screen.
4595	+ add configure-checks for getopt's variables, which may be declared
4596	  as different types on some Unix systems.
4597	+ add check in test/configure for some legacy curses types of the
4598	  function pointer passed to tputs().
4599	+ modify init_pair() to accept -1's for color value after
4600	  assume_default_colors() has been called (Debian #337095).
4601	+ modify test/background.c, adding commmand-line options to demonstrate
4602	  assume_default_colors() and use_default_colors().
4603
460420110416
4605	+ modify configure script/source-code to only define _POSIX_SOURCE if
4606	  the checks for sigaction and/or termios fail, and if _POSIX_C_SOURCE
4607	  and _XOPEN_SOURCE are undefined (report by Valentin Ochs).
4608	+ update config.guess, config.sub
4609

4614	  some ncurses packages.
4615	+ add "--disable-widec" option to test/configure script.
4616	+ add "--with-curses-colr" and "--with-curses-5lib" options to the
4617	  test/configure script to address testing with very old machines.
4618
461920110404 5.9 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
4620
462120110402
4622	+ various build-fixes for the rpm/dpkg scripts.
4623	+ add "--enable-rpath-link" option to Ada95/configure, to allow
4624	  packages to suppress the rpath feature which is normally used for
4625	  the in-tree build of sample programs.
4626	+ corrected definition of libdir variable in Ada95/src/Makefile.in,
4627	  needed for rpm script.
4628	+ add "--with-shared" option to Ada95/configure script, to allow
4629	  making the C-language parts of the binding use appropriate compiler
4630	  options if building a shared library with gnat.
4631
463220110329
4633	> portability fixes for Ada95 binding:
4634	+ add configure check to ensure that SIGINT works with gnat.  This is
4635	  needed for the "rain" sample program.  If SIGINT does not work, omit
4636	  that sample program.
4637	+ correct typo in check of $PKG_CONFIG variable in Ada95/configure
4638	+ add ncurses_compat.c, to supply functions used in the Ada95 binding
4639	  which were added in 5.7 and later.
4640	+ modify sed expression in CF_NCURSES_ADDON to eliminate a dependency
4641	  upon GNU sed.
4642
464320110326
4644	+ add special check in Ada95/configure script for ncurses6 reentrant
4645	  code.

4653	  libraries, i.e., collections of .ali files.
4654	+ make all dereferences in Ada95 samples explicit.
4655	+ fix typo in comment in lib_add_wch.c (patch by Petr Pavlu).
4656	+ add configure check for, ifdef's for math.h which is in a separate
4657	  package on Solaris and potentially not installed (report by Petr
4658	  Pavlu).
4659	> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
4660	+ improve type-checking in Ada95 by eliminating a few warning-suppress
4661	  pragmas.
4662	+ suppress unreferenced warnings.
4663	+ make all dereferences in binding explicit.
4664
466520110319
4666	+ regen Ada html documentation.
4667	+ change order of -I options from ncurses*-config script when the
4668	  --disable-overwrite option was used, so that the subdirectory include
4669	  is listed first.
4670	+ modify the make-tar.sh scripts to add a MANIFEST and NEWS file.
4671	+ modify configure script to provide value for HTML_DIR in
4672	  Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, which depends on whether the Ada95 binding is
4673	  distributed separately (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
4674	+ modify configure script to add "-g" and/or "-O3" to ADAFLAGS if the
4675	  CFLAGS for the build has these options.
4676	+ amend change from 20070324, to not add 1 to the result of getmaxx
4677	  and getmaxy in the Ada binding (report by Nicolas Boulenguez for
4678	  thread in comp.lang.ada).
4679	+ build-fix Ada95/samples for gnat 4.5
4680	+ spelling fixes for Ada95/samples/explain.txt
4681	> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
4682	+ add item in Trace_Attribute_Set corresponding to TRACE_ATTRS.
4683	+ add workaround for binding to set_field_type(), which uses varargs.
4684	  The original binding from 990220 relied on the prevalent
4685	  implementation of varargs which did not support or need va_copy().
4686	+ add dependency on gen/Makefile.in needed for *-panels.ads
4687	+ add Library_Options to library.gpr
4688	+ add Languages to library.gpr, for gprbuild
4689
469020110307
4691	+ revert changes to limit-checks from 20110122 (Debian #616711).
4692	> minor type-cleanup of Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
4693	+ corrected a minor sign error in a field of Low_Level_Field_Type, to
4694	  conform to form.h.
4695	+ replaced C_Int by Curses_Bool as return type for some callbacks, see
4696	  fieldtype(3FORM).
4697	+ modify samples/sample-explain.adb to provide explicit message when
4698	  explain.txt is not found.
4699
470020110305
4701	+ improve makefiles for Ada95 tree (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).

4715	  a new install of hashed database.
4716	+ fix typo in Ada95/mk-1st.awk which causes error with original awk.
4717
471820110220
4719	+ configure script rpath fixes from xterm #269.

4730
473120110205
4732	+ add xterm-utf8 entry as a demo of the U8 feature -TD
4733	+ add U8 feature to denote entries for terminal emulators which do not
4734	  support VT100 SI/SO when processing UTF-8 encoding -TD
4735	+ improve the NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS feature by adding a check for an
4736	  extended terminfo capability U8 (prompted by mailing list

478720101204
4788	+ add special case to _nc_infotocap() to recognize the setaf/setab

4808	+ improve checks in test/configure for X libraries, from xterm #267
4809	  changes.
4810	+ modify test/configure to allow it to use the build-tree's libraries
4811	  e.g., when using that to configure the test-programs without the
4812	  rpath feature (request by Sven Joachim).
4813	+ repurpose "gnome" terminfo entries as "vte", retaining "gnome" items
4814	  for compatibility, but generally deprecating those since the VTE
4815	  library is what actually defines the behavior of "gnome", etc.,
4816	  since 2003 -TD

4836	  more closely match the non-thread naming (report by Werner Fink).
4837	+ modify configure check for tic program, used for fallbacks, to a
4838	  warning if not found.  This makes it simpler to use additional

487620100925
4877	+ add "XT" capability to entries for terminals that support both
4878	  xterm-style mouse- and title-controls, for "screen" which
4879	  special-cases TERM beginning with "xterm" or "rxvt" -TD
4880	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
4881	+ use 64-Bit MinGW toolchain (recommended package from TDM, see

4883	+ support pthreads when using the TDM MinGW toolchain
4884
488520100918

4910	  descriptions from text-files (Debian #593920).
4911	+ improve acsc string for vt52, show arrow keys (patch by Benjamin
4912	  Sittler).
4913
491420100814
4915	+ document in manpages that "mv" functions first use wmove() to check
4916	  the window pointer and whether the position lies within the window
4917	  (suggested by Poul-Henning Kamp).
4918	+ fixes to curs_color.3x, curs_kernel.3x and wresize.3x manpages (patch
4919	  by Tim van der Molen).

4934	+ add special case to CF_REGEX for cross-compiling to MinGW target.
4935
493620100731
4937	+ modify initialization check for win32con driver to eliminate need for
4938	  special case for TERM "unknown", using terminal database if available
4939	  (prompted by discussion with Roumen Petrov).
4940	+ for MinGW port, ensure that terminal driver is setup if tgetent()

4947	+ add a check in tic for missing set_tab if clear_all_tabs given.
4948	+ improve use of symbolic links in makefiles by using "-f" option if
4949	  it is supported, to eliminate temporary removal of the target
4950	  (prompted by http://www.t2-project.org/packages/ncurses.html)
4951	+ minor improvement to test/ncurses.c, reset color pairs in 'd' test
4952	  after exit from 'm' main-menu command.
4953	+ improved ncu-indent, from mawk changes, allows more than one of
4954	  GCC_NORETURN, GCC_PRINTFLIKE and GCC_SCANFLIKE on a single line.
4955
495620100717
4957	+ add hard-reset for rs2 to wsvt25 to help ensure that reset ends
4958	  the alternate character set (patch by Nicholas Marriott)
4959	+ remove tar-copy.sh and related configure/Makefile chunks, since the
4960	  Ada95 binding is now installed using rules in Ada95/src.
4961
496220100703
4963	+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
4964	  + add/use configure check to turn on project rules for Ada95/src.
4965	+ revert the vfork change from 20100130, since it does not work.
4966
496720100626
4968	+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
4969	  + old gnatmake (3.15) does not produce libraries using project-file;
4970	    work around by adding script to generate alternate makefile.
4971
497220100619
4973	+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
4974	  + add configure --with-ada-sharedlib option, for the test_make rule.
4975	  + move Ada95-related logic into aclocal.m4, since additional checks
4976	    will be needed to distinguish old/new implementations of gnat.
4977
497820100612
4979	+ start integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95 tree
4980	  + add test_make / test_clean / test_install rules in Ada95/src
4981	  + change install-path for adainclude directory to /usr/share/ada (was
4982	    /usr/lib/ada).
4983	+ update Ada95/configure.
4984	+ add mlterm+256color entry, for mlterm 3.0.0 -TD
4985	+ modify test/configure to use macros to ensure consistent order
4986	  of updating LIBS variable.
4987
498820100605
4989	+ change search order of options for Solaris in CF_SHARED_OPTS, to
4990	  work with 64-bit compiles.
4991	+ correct quoting of assignment in CF_SHARED_OPTS case for aix
4992	  (cf: 20081227)
4993
499420100529
4995	+ regenerated html documentation.
4996	+ modify test/configure to support pkg-config for checking X libraries
4997	  used by PDCurses.

4999	  assignments to $LIBS, etc.
5000	+ fix configure script for combining --with-pthread
5001	  and --enable-weak-symbols options.
5002
500320100522
5004	+ correct cross-compiling configure check for CF_MKSTEMP macro, by
5005	  adding a check cache variable set by AC_CHECK_FUNC (report by
5006	  Pierre Labastie).
5007	+ simplify include-dependencies of make_hash and make_keys, to reduce
5008	  the need for setting BUILD_CPPFLAGS in cross-compiling when the
5009	  build- and target-machines differ.
5010	+ repair broken-linker configuration by restoring a definition of SP
5011	  variable to curses.priv.h, and adjusting for cases where sp-funcs
5012	  are used.
5013	+ improve configure macro CF_AR_FLAGS, allowing ARFLAGS environment
5014	  variable to override (prompted by report by Pablo Cazallas).
5015
501620100515
5017	+ add configure option --enable-pthreads-eintr to control whether the
5018	  new EINTR feature is enabled.
5019	+ modify logic in pthread configuration to allow EINTR to interrupt
5020	  a read operation in wgetch() (Novell #540571, patch by Werner Fink).
5021	+ drop mkdirs.sh, use "mkdir -p".
5022	+ add configure option --disable-libtool-version, to use the
5023	  "-version-number" feature which was added in libtool 1.5 (report by
5024	  Peter Haering).  The default value for the option uses the newer
5025	  feature, which makes libraries generated using libtool compatible
5026	  with the standard builds of ncurses.
5027	+ updated test/configure to match configure script macros.
5028	+ fixes for configure script from lynx changes:
5029	  + improve CF_FIND_LINKAGE logic for the case where a function is
5030	    found in predefined libraries.
5031	  + revert part of change to CF_HEADER (cf: 20100424)
5032
503320100501
5034	+ correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for begy/begx values
5035	  (patch by David Benjamin).
5036	+ fix most compiler warnings from clang.
5037	+ amend build-fix for OpenSolaris, to ensure that a system header is
5038	  included in curses.h before testing feature symbols, since they
5039	  may be defined by that route.
5040
504120100424
5042	+ fix some strict compiler warnings in ncurses library.
5043	+ modify configure macro CF_HEADER_PATH to not look for variations in
5044	  the predefined include directories.
5045	+ improve configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GCC_WARNINGS to work
5046	  with gcc 4.x's c89 alias, which gives warning messages for cases
5047	  where older versions would produce an error.
5048
504920100417
5050	+ modify _nc_capcmp() to work with cancelled strings.
5051	+ correct translation of "^" in _nc_infotocap(), used to transform
5052	  terminfo to termcap strings
5053	+ add configure --disable-rpath-hack, to allow disabling the feature
5054	  which adds rpath options for libraries in unusual places.
5055	+ improve CF_RPATH_HACK_2 by checking if the rpath option for a given
5056	  directory was already added.
5057	+ improve CF_RPATH_HACK_2 by using ldd to provide a standard list of
5058	  directories (which will be ignored).
5059
506020100410
5061	+ improve win_driver.c handling of mouse:
5062	  + discard motion events
5063	  + avoid calling _nc_timed_wait when there is a mouse event
5064	  + handle 4th and "rightmost" buttons.
5065	+ quote substitutions in CF_RPATH_HACK_2 configure macro, needed for
5066	  cases where there are embedded blanks in the rpath option.
5067
506820100403
5069	+ add configure check for exctags vs ctags, to work around pkgsrc.
5070	+ simplify logic in _nc_get_screensize() to make it easier to see how
5071	  environment variables may override system- and terminfo-values
5072	  (prompted by discussion with Igor Bujna).
5073	+ make debug-traces for COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER less verbose.
5074	+ improve handling of color-pairs embedded in attributes for the
5075	  extended-colors configuration.
5076	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to build link_test with sp-funcs.
5077	+ build-fixes for OpenSolaris aka Solaris 11, for wide-character
5078	  configuration as well as for rpath feature in *-config scripts.
5079
508020100327
5081	+ refactor CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro, making CF_RPATH_HACK more
5082	  reusable.
5083	+ improve configure CF_REGEX, similar fixes.
5084	+ improve configure CF_FIND_LINKAGE, adding add check between system
5085	  (default) and explicit paths, where we can find the entrypoint in the
5086	  given library.
5087	+ add check if Gpm_Open() returns a -2, e.g., for "xterm".  This is
5088	  normally suppressed but can be overridden using $NCURSES_GPM_TERMS.
5089	  Ensure that Gpm_Close() is called in this case.
5090
509120100320
5092	+ rename atari and st52 terminfo entries to atari-old, st52-old, use
5093	  newer entries from FreeMiNT by Guido Flohr (from patch/report by Alan
5094	  Hourihane).
5095
509620100313
5097	+ modify install-rule for manpages so that *-config manpages will
5098	  install when building with --srcdir (report by Sven Joachim).
5099	+ modify CF_DISABLE_LEAKS configure macro so that the --enable-leaks
5100	  option is not the same as --disable-leaks (GenToo #305889).
5101	+ modify #define's for build-compiler to suppress cchar_t symbol from
5102	  compile of make_hash and make_keys, improving cross-compilation of
5103	  ncursesw (report by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
5104	+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to replace all occurrences of
5105	  TPUT in tput.1's manpage (Debian #573597, report/analysis by Anders
5106	  Kaseorg).
5107
510820100306
5109	+ generate manpages for the *-config scripts, adapted from help2man
5110	  (suggested by Sven Joachim).
5111	+ use va_copy() in _nc_printf_string() to avoid conflicting use of
5112	  va_list value in _nc_printf_length() (report by Wim Lewis).
5113
511420100227
5115	+ add Ada95/configure script, to use in tar-file created by
5116	  Ada95/make-tar.sh
5117	+ fix typo in wresize.3x (patch by Tim van der Molen).
5118	+ modify screen-bce.XXX entries to exclude ech, since screen's color
5119	  model does not clear with color for that feature -TD
5120
512120100220
5122	+ add make-tar.sh scripts to Ada95 and test subdirectories to help with
5123	  making those separately distributable.
5124	+ build-fix for static libraries without dlsym (Debian #556378).
5125	+ fix a syntax error in man/form_field_opts.3x (patch by Ingo
5126	  Schwarze).
5127
512820100213
5129	+ add several screen-bce.XXX entries -TD
5130
513120100206
5132	+ update mrxvt terminfo entry -TD
5133	+ modify win_driver.c to support mouse single-clicks.
5134	+ correct name for termlib in ncurses*-config, e.g., if it is renamed
5135	  to provide a single file for ncurses/ncursesw libraries (patch by
5136	  Miroslav Lichvar).
5137
513820100130
5139	+ use vfork in test/ditto.c if available (request by Mike Frysinger).
5140	+ miscellaneous cleanup of manpages.
5141	+ fix typo in curs_bkgd.3x (patch by Tim van der Molen).
5142	+ build-fix for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
5143
514420100123
5145	+ for term-driver configuration, ensure that the driver pointer is
5146	  initialized in setupterm so that terminfo/termcap programs work.
5147	+ amend fix for Debian #542031 to ensure that wattrset() returns only
5148	  OK or ERR, rather than the attribute value (report by Miroslav
5149	  Lichvar).
5150	+ reorder WINDOWLIST to put WINDOW data after SCREEN pointer, making
5151	  _nc_screen_of() compatible between normal/wide libraries again (patch
5152	  by Miroslav Lichvar)
5153	+ review/fix include-dependencies in modules files (report by Miroslav
5154	  Lichvar).
5155
515620100116
5157	+ modify win_driver.c to initialize acs_map for win32 console, so
5158	  that line-drawing works.
5159	+ modify win_driver.c to initialize TERMINAL struct so that programs
5160	  such as test/lrtest.c and test/ncurses.c which test string
5161	  capabilities can run.
5162	+ modify term-driver modules to eliminate forward-reference
5163	  declarations.
5164
516520100109
5166	+ modify configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., to use CF_ADD_CFLAGS
5167	  consistently to add new -D's while removing duplicates.
5168	+ modify a few configure macros to consistently put new options
5169	  before older in the list.
5170	+ add tiparm(), based on review of X/Open Curses Issue 7.
5171	+ minor documentation cleanup.
5172	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
5173		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
5174	  (caveat - its maintainer put 2010 copyright date on files dated 2009)
5175
517620100102
5177	+ minor improvement to tic's checking of similar SGR's to allow for the
5178	  most common case of SGR 0.
5179	+ modify getmouse() to act as its documentation implied, returning on
5180	  each call the preceding event until none are left.  When no more
5181	  events remain, it will return ERR.
5182
518320091227
5184	+ change order of lookup in progs/tput.c, looking for terminfo data
5185	  first.  This fixes a confusion between termcap "sg" and terminfo
5186	  "sgr" or "sgr0", originally from 990123 changes, but exposed by
5187	  20091114 fixes for hashing.  With this change, only "dl" and "ed" are
5188	  ambiguous (Mandriva #56272).
5189
519020091226
5191	+ add bterm terminfo entry, based on bogl 0.1.18 -TD
5192	+ minor fix to rxvt+pcfkeys terminfo entry -TD
5193	+ build-fixes for Ada95 tree for gnat 4.4 "style".
5194
519520091219
5196	+ remove old check in mvderwin() which prevented moving a derived
5197	  window whose origin happened to coincide with its parent's origin
5198	  (report by Katarina Machalkova).
5199	+ improve test/ncurses.c to put mouse droppings in the proper window.
5200	+ update minix terminfo entry -TD
5201	+ add bw (auto-left-margin) to nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler)
5202
520320091212
5204	+ correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
5205	  field_buffer(), which stopped at the end of the first row due to
5206	  filling of unused entries in a cchar_t array with nulls.
5207	+ updated nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler, Emanuele Giaquinta)
5208	+ modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to show wide-character
5209	  nulls.
5210	+ use strdup() in set_menu_mark(), restore .marklen struct member on
5211	  failure.
5212	+ eliminate clause 3 from the UCB copyrights in read_termcap.c and
5213	  tset.c per
5214		ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change
5215	  (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
5216	+ replace a malloc in tic.c with strdup, checking for failure (patch by
5217	  Nicholas Marriott).
5218	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
5219		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
5220
522120091205
5222	+ correct layout of working window used to extract data in
5223	  wide-character configured by set_field_buffer (patch by Rafael
5224	  Garrido Fernandez)
5225	+ improve some limit-checks related to filename length in reading and
5226	  writing terminfo entries.
5227	+ ensure that filename is always filled in when attempting to read
5228	  a terminfo entry, so that infocmp can report the filename (patch
5229	  by Nicholas Marriott).
5230
523120091128
5232	+ modify mk-1st.awk to allow tinfo library to be built when term-driver
5233	  is enabled.
5234	+ add error-check to configure script to ensure that sp-funcs is
5235	  enabled if term-driver is, since some internal interfaces rely upon
5236	  this.
5237
523820091121
5239	+ fix case where progs/tput is used while sp-funcs is configure; this
5240	  requires save/restore of out-character function from _nc_prescreen
5241	  rather than the SCREEN structure (report by Charles Wilson).
5242	+ fix typo in man/curs_trace.3x which caused incorrect symbolic links
5243	+ improved configure macros CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_PROG_LINT.
5244
524520091114
5246	+ updated man/curs_trace.3x
5247	+ limit hashing for termcap-names to 2-characters (Ubuntu #481740).
5248	+ change a variable name in lib_newwin.c to make it clearer which
5249	  value is being freed on error (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
5250
525120091107
5252	+ improve test/ncurses.c color-cycling test by reusing attribute-
5253	  and color-cycling logic from the video-attributes screen.
5254	+ add ifdef'd with NCURSES_INTEROP_FUNCS experimental bindings in form
5255	  library which help make it compatible with interop applications
5256	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
5257	+ add configure option --enable-interop, for integrating changes
5258	  for generic/interop support to form-library by Juergen Pfeifer
5259
526020091031
5261	+ modify use of $CC environment variable which is defined by X/Open
5262	  as a curses feature, to ignore it if it is not a single character
5263	  (prompted by discussion with Benjamin C W Sittler).
5264	+ add START_TRACE in slk_init
5265	+ fix a regression in _nc_ripoffline which made test/ncurses.c not show
5266	  soft-keys, broken in 20090927 merging.
5267	+ change initialization of "hidden" flag for soft-keys from true to
5268	  false, broken in 20090704 merging (Ubuntu #464274).
5269	+ update nsterm entries (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler, prompted by
5270	  discussion with Fabian Groffen in GenToo #206201).
5271	+ add test/xterm-256color.dat
5272
527320091024
5274	+ quiet some pedantic gcc warnings.
5275	+ modify _nc_wgetch() to check for a -1 in the fifo, e.g., after a
5276	  SIGWINCH, and discard that value, to avoid confusing application
5277	  (patch by Eygene Ryabinkin, FreeBSD #136223).
5278
527920091017
5280	+ modify handling of $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to use only the first item in
5281	  a possibly colon-separated list (Debian #550716).
5282
528320091010
5284	+ supply a null-terminator to buffer in _nc_viswibuf().
5285	+ fix a sign-extension bug in unget_wch() (report by Mike Gran).
5286	+ minor fixes to error-returns in default function for tputs, as well
5287	  as in lib_screen.c
5288
528920091003
5290	+ add WACS_xxx definitions to wide-character configuration for thick-
5291	  and double-lines (discussion with Slava Zanko).
5292	+ remove unnecessary kcan assignment to ^C from putty (Sven Joachim)
5293	+ add ccc and initc capabilities to xterm-16color -TD
5294	> patch by Benjamin C W Sittler:
5295	+ add linux-16color
5296	+ correct initc capability of linux-c-nc end-of-range
5297	+ similar change for dg+ccc and dgunix+ccc
5298
529920090927
5300	+ move leak-checking for comp_captab.c into _nc_leaks_tinfo() since
5301	  that module since 20090711 is in libtinfo.
5302	+ add configure option --enable-term-driver, to allow compiling with
5303	  terminal-driver.  That is used in MinGW port, and (being somewhat
5304	  more complicated) is an experimental alternative to the conventional
5305	  termlib internals.  Currently, it requires the sp-funcs feature to
5306	  be enabled.
5307	+ completed integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer in ncurses
5308	  library (some work remains for forms library).
5309
531020090919
5311	+ document return code from define_key (report by Mike Gran).
5312	+ make some symbolic links in the terminfo directory-tree shorter
5313	  (patch by Daniel Jacobowitz, forwarded by Sven Joachim).).
5314	+ fix some groff warnings in terminfo.5, etc., from recent Debian
5315	  changes.
5316	+ change ncv and op capabilities in sun-color terminfo entry to match
5317	  Sun's entry for this (report by Laszlo Peter).
5318	+ improve interix smso terminfo capability by using reverse rather than
5319	  bold (report by Kristof Zelechovski).
5320
532120090912
5322	+ add some test programs (and make these use the same special keys
5323	  by sharing linedata.h functions):
5324	  test/test_addstr.c
5325	  test/test_addwstr.c
5326	  test/test_addchstr.c
5327	  test/test_add_wchstr.c
5328	+ correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when
5329	  inserting wide characters, since the wins_wch() function that it used
5330	  did not update the cursor position (report by Ciprian Craciun).
5331
533220090906
5333	+ fix typo s/is_timeout/is_notimeout/ which made "man is_notimeout" not
5334	  work.
5335	+ add null-pointer checks to other opaque-functions.
5336	+ add is_pad() and is_subwin() functions for opaque access to WINDOW
5337	  (discussion with Mark Dickinson).
5338	+ correct merge to lib_newterm.c, which broke when sp-funcs was
5339	  enabled.
5340
534120090905
5342	+ build-fix for building outside source-tree (report by Sven Joachim).
5343	+ fix Debian lintian warning for man/tabs.1 by making section number
5344	  agree with file-suffix (report by Sven Joachim).
5345	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
5346
534720090829
5348	+ workaround for bug in g++ 4.1-4.4 warnings for wattrset() macro on
5349	  amd64 (Debian #542031).

5354
535520090815
5356	+ correct use of terminfo capabilities for initializing soft-keys,
5357	  broken in 20090510 merging.
5358	+ modify wgetch() to ensure it checks SIGWINCH when it gets an error
5359	  in non-blocking mode (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
5360	+ use PATH_SEPARATOR symbol when substituting into run_tic.sh, to
5361	  help with builds on non-Unix platforms such as OS/2 EMX.
5362	+ modify scripting for misc/run_tic.sh to test configure script's
5363	  $cross_compiling variable directly rather than comparing host/build
5364	  compiler names (prompted by comment in GenToo #249363).
5365	+ fix configure script option --with-database, which was coded as an
5366	  enable-type switch.
5367	+ build-fixes for --srcdir (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
5368
536920090808

5371	  implementation details of hash function.
5372
537320090803
5374	+ add tabs.1 to man/man_db.renames
5375	+ modify lib_addch.c to compensate for removal of wide-character test
5376	  from unctrl() in 20090704 (Debian #539735).

5388	  string capabilities as numeric (report by Rajeev V Pillai,
5389	  cf: 20090711).
5390
539120090725

5393
539420090718

5396	  20090704 changes.
5397	+ modify _nc_find_type_entry() to use hashing.
5398	+ make CCHARW_MAX value configurable, noting that changing this would

5400	+ modify test-programs, e.g,.  test/view.c, to address subtle
5401	  differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX getcchar() return
5402	  values.

5411
541220090704
5413	+ remove wide-character checks from unctrl() (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
5414	+ revise wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to eliminate dependency on

5420	+ various code-fixes to build/work with --disable-macros configure
5421	  option.
5422	+ add several new files from Juergen Pfeifer which will be used when

5425
542620090613
5427	+ move definition for NCURSES_WRAPPED_VAR back to ncurses_dll.h, to

5472	  This change finishes merging for menu and panel libraries, does
5473	  part of the form library.
5474
547520090404
5476	+ suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on

5478
547920090328
5480	+ extend ansi.sys pfkey capability from kf1-kf10 to kf1-kf48, moving
5481	  function key definitions from emx-base for consistency -TD

5483	  by Kalle Olavi Niemitalo).
5484	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'F' test, show combining characters in color.
5485	+ quiet a false report by cppcheck in c++/cursesw.cc by eliminating
5486	  a temporary variable.
5487	+ use _nc_doalloc() rather than realloc() in a few places in ncurses
5488	  library to avoid leak in out-of-memory condition (reports by William
5489	  Egert and Martin Ettl based on cppcheck tool).
5490	+ add --with-ncurses-wrap-prefix option to test/configure (discussion
5491	  with Charles Wilson).
5492	+ use ncurses*-config scripts if available for test/configure.
5493	+ update test/aclocal.m4 and test/configure
5494	> patches by Charles Wilson:
5495	+ modify CF_WITH_LIBTOOL configure check to allow unreleased libtool
5496	  version numbers (e.g.  which include alphabetic chars, as well as
5497	  digits, after the final '.').
5498	+ improve use of -no-undefined option for libtool by setting an
5499	  intermediate variable LT_UNDEF in the configure script, and then
5500	  using that in the libtool link-commands.
5501	+ fix an missing use of NCURSES_PUBLIC_VAR() in tinfo/MKcodes.awk
5502	  from 20090321 changes.
5503	+ improve mk-1st.awk script by writing separate cases for the
5504	  LIBTOOL_LINK command, depending on which library (ncurses, ticlib,
5505	  termlib) is to be linked.
5506	+ modify configure.in to allow broken-linker configurations, not just
5507	  enable-reentrant, to set public wrap prefix.
5508
550920090321
5510	+ add TICS_LIST and SHLIB_LIST to allow libtool 2.2.6 on Cygwin to
5511	  build with tic and term libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).
5512	+ add -no-undefined option to libtool for Cygwin, MinGW, U/Win and AIX
5513	  (report by Charles Wilson).
5514	+ fix definition for c++/Makefile.in's SHLIB_LIST, which did not list
5515	  the form, menu or panel libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).
5516	+ add configure option --with-wrap-prefix to allow setting the prefix
5517	  for functions used to wrap global variables to something other than
5518	  "_nc_" (discussion with Charles Wilson).
5519
552020090314
5521	+ modify scripts to generate ncurses*-config and pc-files to add
5522	  dependency for tinfo library (patch by Charles Wilson).
5523	+ improve comparison of program-names when checking for linked flavors
5524	  such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix (reports by Charles
5525	  Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing
5526	  list).
5527	+ suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on
5528	  Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static libc, and
5529	  does not switch back to dynamic mode before finishing the libraries
5530	  (reports by Joel Bertrand, Alan Pae).
5531	+ minor fixes to Intel compiler warning checks in configure script.
5532	+ modify _nc_leaks_tinfo() so leak-checking in test/railroad.c works.
5533	+ modify set_curterm() to make broken-linker configuration work with
5534	  changes from 20090228 (report by Charles Wilson).
5535
553620090228
5537	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
5538	+ modify declaration of cur_term when broken-linker is used, but
5539	  enable-reentrant is not, to match pre-5.7 (report by Charles Wilson).
5540
554120090221
5542	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
5543
554420090214
5545	+ add configure script --enable-sp-funcs to enable the new set of
5546	  extended functions.
5547	+ start integrating patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
5548	  + add extended functions which specify the SCREEN pointer for several
5549	    curses functions which use the global SP (these are incomplete;
5550	    some internals work is needed to complete these).
5551	  + add special cases to configure script for MinGW port.
5552
555320090207
5554	+ update several configure macros from lynx changes
5555	  + append (not prepend) to CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS
5556	  + change variable from PATHSEP to PATH_SEPARATOR
5557	+ improve install-rules for pc-files (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
5558	  + make it work with $DESTDIR
5559	  + create the pkg-config library directory if needed.
5560
556120090124
5562	+ modify init_pair() to allow caller to create extra color pairs beyond
5563	  the color_pairs limit, which use default colors (request by Emanuele
5564	  Giaquinta).
5565	+ add misc/terminfo.tmp and misc/*.pc to "sources" rule.
5566	+ fix typo "==" where "=" is needed in ncurses-config.in and
5567	  gen-pkgconfig.in files (Debian #512161).
5568
556920090117
5570	+ add -shared option to MK_SHARED_LIB when -Bsharable is used, for
5571	  *BSD's, without which "main" might be one of the shared library's
5572	  dependencies (report/analysis by Ken Dickey).
5573	+ modify waddch_literal(), updating line-pointer after a multicolumn
5574	  character is found to not fit on the current row, and wrapping is
5575	  done.  Since the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped
5576	  multicolumn character was written to the beginning of the current row
5577	  (cf: 20041023, reported by "Nick" regarding problem with ncmpc
5578	  http://musicpd.org/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1930).
5579
558020090110
5581	+ add screen.Eterm terminfo entry (GenToo #124887) -TD
5582	+ modify adacurses-config to look for ".ali" files in the adalib
5583	  directory.
5584	+ correct install for Ada95, which omitted libAdaCurses.a used in
5585	  adacurses-config
5586	+ change install for adacurses-config to provide additional flavors
5587	  such as adacursesw-config, for ncursesw (GenToo #167849).
5588
558920090105
5590	+ remove undeveloped feature in ncurses-config.in for setting
5591	  prefix variable.
5592	+ recent change to ncurses-config.in did not take into account the
5593	  --disable-overwrite option, which sets $includedir to the
5594	  subdirectory and using just that for a -I option does not work - fix
5595	  (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
5596
559720090104
5598	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to eliminate a dependency on rpath when
5599	  deciding whether to add $LIBS to --libs output; that should be shown
5600	  for the ncurses and tinfo libraries without taking rpath into
5601	  account.
5602	+ fix an overlooked change from $AR_OPTS to $ARFLAGS in mk-1st.awk,
5603	  used in static libraries (report by Marty Jack).
5604
560520090103
5606	+ add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
5607	  CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris (report by Dagobert Michelsen).
5608	+ add configure --with-pkg-config and --enable-pc-files options, along
5609	  with misc/gen-pkgconfig.in which can be used to generate ".pc" files
5610	  for pkg-config (request by Jan Engelhardt).
5611	+ use $includedir symbol in misc/ncurses-config.in, add --includedir
5612	  option.
5613	+ change makefiles to use $ARFLAGS rather than $AR_OPTS, provide a
5614	  configure check to detect whether a "-" is needed before "ar"
5615	  options.
5616	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
5617		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
5618
561920081227
5620	+ modify mk-1st.awk to work with extra categories for tinfo library.
5621	+ modify configure script to allow building shared libraries with gcc
5622	  on AIX 5 or 6 (adapted from patch by Lital Natan).
5623
562420081220
5625	+ modify to omit the opaque-functions from lib_gen.o when
5626	  --disable-ext-funcs is used.
5627	+ add test/clip_printw.c to illustrate how to use printw without
5628	  wrapping.
5629	+ modify ncurses 'F' test to demo wborder_set() with colored lines.
5630	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder() with colored lines.
5631
563220081213
5633	+ add check for failure to open hashed-database needed for db4.6
5634	  (GenToo #245370).
5635	+ corrected --without-manpages option; previous change only suppressed
5636	  the auxiliary rules install.man and uninstall.man
5637	+ add case for FreeMINT to configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE (patch from
5638	  GenToo #250454).
5639	+ fixes from NetBSD port at
5640	  http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/patches
5641	  patch-ac (build-fix for DragonFly)
5642	  patch-ae (use INSTALL_SCRIPT for installing misc/ncurses*-config).
5643	+ improve configure script macros CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_LIBRARY_PATH
5644	  by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS values to the
5645	  search-lists.
5646	+ correct title string for keybound manpage (patch by Frederic Culot,
5647	  OpenBSD documentation/6019),
5648
564920081206
5650	+ move del_curterm() call from _nc_freeall() to _nc_leaks_tinfo() to
5651	  work for progs/clear, progs/tabs, etc.
5652	+ correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character
5653	  set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran).
5654	+ add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather
5655	  than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that
5656	  ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue
5657	  was xterm's alternate screen feature).
5658	+ add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a
5659	  zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717,
5660	  adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault).
5661
566220081129
5663	+ improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control
5664	  character is found.  The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to
5665	  obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not
5666	  passing color or video attributes.
5667	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl() more consistently to
5668	  display meta-characters.
5669	+ turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h
5670	+ add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD
5671	+ correct use of key_name() in test/ncurses.c 'A' test, which only
5672	  displays wide-characters, not key-codes since 20070612 (report by
5673	  Ricardo Cantu).
5674
567520081122
5676	+ change _nc_has_mouse() to has_mouse(), reflect its use in C++ and
5677	  Ada95 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
5678	+ document in TO-DO an issue with Cygwin's package for GNAT (report
5679	  by Mike Dennison).
5680	+ improve error-checking of command-line options in "tabs" program.
5681
568220081115
5683	+ change several terminfo entries to make consistent use of ANSI
5684	  clear-all-tabs -TD
5685	+ add "tabs" program (prompted by Debian #502260).
5686	+ add configure --without-manpages option (request by Mike Frysinger).
5687
568820081102 5.7 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
5689
569020081025
5691	+ add a manpage to discuss memory leaks.
5692	+ add support for shared libraries for QNX (other than libtool, which
5693	  does not work well on that platform).
5694	+ build-fix for QNX C++ binding.
5695
569620081018
5697	+ build-fixes for OS/2 EMX.
5698	+ modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
5699	  in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris (report by
5700	  Nit Khair).
5701	+ modify configure script to assume --without-hashed-db when
5702	  --disable-database is used.
5703	+ add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating source-files
5704	  to force earlier exit if the build environment fails unexpectedly
5705	  (prompted by patch by Adrian Bunk).
5706	+ change configure script to use CF_UTF8_LIB, improved variant of
5707	  CF_LIBUTF8.
5708
570920081012
5710	+ add teraterm4.59 terminfo entry, use that as primary teraterm entry, rename
5711	  original to teraterm2.3 -TD
5712	+ update "gnome" terminfo to 2.22.3 -TD
5713	+ update "konsole" terminfo to 1.6.6, needs today's fix for tic -TD
5714	+ add "aterm" terminfo -TD
5715	+ add "linux2.6.26" terminfo -TD
5716	+ add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined capabilities,
5717	  overlooked til now.
5718
571920081011
5720	+ regenerated html documentation.
5721	+ add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
5722	  the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
5723	+ correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
5724	+ document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
5725	+ fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
5726	+ add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
5727	  tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
5728	  20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
5729
573020081004
5731	+ some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
5732	  works for C/C++ parts).
5733	+ improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
5734	  AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
5735
573620080927
5737	+ fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
5738	  strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
5739	+ fix build for --disable-sigwinch
5740	+ add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
5741	  GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
5742	+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
5743	  "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
5744	  that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
5745	+ reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
5746	  Miroslav Lichvar).
5747	+ fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
5748	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
5749	+ use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.
5750	+ discard internal symbol _nc_slk_format (unused since 20080112).
5751	+ move call of slk_paint_info() from _nc_slk_initialize() to
5752	  slk_intern_refresh(), improving initialization.
5753
575420080925
5755	+ fix bug in mouse code for GPM from 20080920 changes (reported in
5756	  Debian #500103, also Miroslav Lichvar).
5757
575820080920
5759	+ fix shared-library rules for cygwin with tic- and tinfo-libraries.
5760	+ fix a memory leak when failure to connect to GPM.
5761	+ correct check for notimeout() in wgetch() (report on linux.redhat
5762	  newsgroup by FurtiveBertie).
5763	+ add an example warning-suppression file for valgrind,

5769
577020080907
5771	+ corrected fix for --enable-weak-symbols (report by Frederic L W
5772	  Meunier).
5773
577420080906
5775	+ corrected gcc options for building shared libraries on IRIX64.
5776	+ add configure check for awk programs unable to handle big-strings,
5777	  use that to improve the default for --enable-big-strings option.
5778	+ makefile-fixes for --enable-weak-symbols (report by Frederic L W
5779	  Meunier).
5780	+ update test/configure script.
5781	+ adapt ifdef's from library to make test/view.c build when mbrtowc()
5782	  is unavailable, e.g., with HPUX 10.20.
5783	+ add configure check for wcsrtombs, mbsrtowcs, which are used in
5784	  test/ncurses.c, and use wcstombs, mbstowcs instead if available,
5785	  fixing build of ncursew for HPUX 11.00
5786
578720080830
5788	+ fixes to make Ada95 demo_panels() example work.
5789	+ modify Ada95 'rain' test program to accept keyboard commands like the
5790	  C-version.
5791	+ modify BeOS-specific ifdef's to build on Haiku (patch by Scott
5792	  Mccreary).
5793	+ add configure-check to see if the std namespace is legal for cerr
5794	  and endl, to fix a build issue with Tru64.
5795	+ consistently use NCURSES_BOOL in lib_gen.c
5796	+ filter #line's from lib_gen.c
5797	+ change delimiter in MKlib_gen.sh from '%' to '@', to avoid
5798	  substitution by IBM xlc to '#' as part of its extensions to digraphs.
5799	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
5800		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
5801	  (caveat - its maintainer removed support for older Linux systems).
5802
580320080823
5804	+ modify configure check for pthread library to work with OSF/1 5.1,
5805	  which uses #define's to associate its header and library.
5806	+ use pthread_mutexattr_init() for initializing pthread_mutexattr_t,
5807	  makes threaded code work on HPUX 11.23
5808	+ fix a bug in demo_menus in freeing menus (cf: 20080804).
5809	+ modify configure script for the case where tic library is used (and
5810	  possibly renamed) to remove its dependency upon ncurses/ncursew
5811	  library (patch by Dr Werner Fink).
5812	+ correct manpage for menu_fore() which gave wrong default for
5813	  the attribute used to display a selected entry (report by Mike Gran).
5814	+ add Eterm-256color, Eterm-88color and rxvt-88color (prompted by
5815	  Debian #495815) -TD
5816
581720080816
5818	+ add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
5819	+ add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
5820	+ modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
5821	  applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
5822	  etc.  This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
5823	  Werner Fink).
5824	+ add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
5825	  using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
5826	+ document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted
5827	  by comments by Samuel Thibault).
5828	+ fix remaining warnings from Klocwork report.
5829
583020080804
5831	+ modify _nc_panelhook() data to account for a permanent memory leak.
5832	+ fix memory leaks in test/demo_menus
5833	+ fix most warnings from Klocwork tool (report by Larry Zhou).
5834	+ modify configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to add case for
5835	  "dragonfly" from xterm #236 changes.
5836	+ modify configure script --with-hashed-db to let $LIBS override the
5837	  search for the db library (prompted by report by Samson Pierre).
5838
583920080726
5840	+ build-fixes for gcc 4.3.1 (changes to gnat "warnings", and C inlining
5841	  thresholds).
5842
584320080713
5844	+ build-fix (reports by Christian Ebert, Funda Wang).
5845
584620080712
5847	+ compiler-warning fixes for Solaris.
5848
584920080705
5850	+ use NCURSES_MOUSE_MASK() in definition of BUTTON_RELEASE(), etc., to
5851	  make those work properly with the "--enable-ext-mouse" configuration
5852	  (cf: 20050205).
5853	+ improve documentation of build-cc options in INSTALL.
5854	+ work-around a bug in gcc 4.2.4 on AIX, which does not pass the
5855	  -static/-dynamic flags properly to linker, causing test/bs to
5856	  not link.
5857
585820080628
5859	+ correct some ifdef's needed for the broken-linker configuration.
5860	+ make debugging library's $BAUDRATE feature work for termcap
5861	  interface.
5862	+ make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface (prompted
5863	  by comment on FreeBSD mailing list).
5864	+ add screen.mlterm terminfo entry -TD
5865	+ improve mlterm and mlterm+pcfkeys terminfo entries -TD
5866
586720080621
5868	+ regenerated html documentation.
5869	+ expand manpage description of parameters for form_driver() and
5870	  menu_driver() (prompted by discussion with Adam Spragg).
5871	+ add null-pointer checks for cur_term in baudrate() and
5872	  def_shell_mode(), def_prog_mode()
5873	+ fix some memory leaks in delscreen() and wide acs.
5874
587520080614
5876	+ modify test/ditto.c to illustrate multi-threaded use_screen().
5877	+ change CC_SHARED_OPTS from -KPIC to -xcode=pic32 for Solaris.
5878	+ add "-shared" option to MK_SHARED_LIB for gcc on Solaris (report
5879	  by Poor Yorick).
5880
588120080607
5882	+ finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the
5883	  window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr().  That
5884	  allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with
5885	  some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a
5886	  window which is being used in a wgetch().
5887	+ simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
5888
588920080531
5890	+ modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
5891	  parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
5892	  use SP internally.
5893	+ factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
5894	+ add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a
5895	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
5896	+ add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a
5897	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
5898	+ add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate
5899	  its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN.
5900	+ add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in
5901	  preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer.
5902
590320080524
5904	+ modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
5905	  screen which must be updated.
5906	+ wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and
5907	  always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm().
5908	+ restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch
5909	  Miroslav Lichvar)
5910
591120080517
5912	+ modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and
5913	  --enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from
5914	  the ncurses ABI 5.
5915	+ corrected manpage description of setcchar() (discussion with
5916	  Emanuele Giaquinta).
5917	+ fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line
5918	  (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
5919
592020080503
5921	+ modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix
5922	  overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD
5923	+ modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the
5924	  global SP.
5925	+ simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and
5926	  each_ripoff().
5927
592820080426
5929	+ continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate
5930	  multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens.
5931	+ fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran).
5932
593320080419
5934	+ add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD
5935	+ modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from
5936	  being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings.
5937	+ improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout.
5938
593920080412
5940	+ change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm.
5941	+ add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their
5942	  window parameters.
5943	+ add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN
5944	  pointer.
5945	+ finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.
5946
594720080405
5948	+ begin table in curs_thread.3x manpage describing the scope of data
5949	  used by each function (or symbol) for threading analysis.
5950	+ add null-pointer checks to setsyx() and getsyx() (prompted by
5951	  discussion by Martin v. Lowis and Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on
5952	  python-dev2 mailing list).
5953
595420080329
5955	+ add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen().
5956	+ move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which
5957	  are not associated with a particular screen.
5958	+ change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than
5959	  stdscr to the callback function.
5960	+ force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this,
5961	  e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc
5962	  (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
5963	+ override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on
5964	  platforms such as AIX where libtool may use a different suffix for
5965	  the object files than ".o" (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
5966	+ add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX
5967	  thread library.
5968
596920080322
5970	+ fill in extended-color pair two more places in wbkgrndset() and
5971	  waddch_nosync() (prompted by Sedeno's patch).
5972	+ fill in extended-color pair in _nc_build_wch() to make colors work
5973	  for wide-characters using extended-colors (patch by Alejandro R
5974	  Sedeno).
5975	+ add x/X toggles to ncurses.c C color test to test/demo
5976	  wide-characters with extended-colors.
5977	+ add a/A toggles to ncurses.c c/C color tests.
5978	+ modify test/ditto.c to use use_screen().
5979	+ finish modifying test/rain.c to demonstrate threads.
5980
598120080308
5982	+ start modifying test/rain.c for threading demo.
5983	+ modify test/ncurses.c to make 'f' test accept the f/F/b/F/</> toggles
5984	  that the 'F' accepts.
5985	+ modify test/worm.c to show trail in reverse-video when other threads
5986	  are working concurrently.
5987	+ fix a deadlock from improper nesting of mutexes for windowlist and
5988	  window.
5989
599020080301
5991	+ fixes from 20080223 resolved issue with mutexes; change to use
5992	  recursive mutexes to fix memory leak in delwin() as called from
5993	  _nc_free_and_exit().
5994
599520080223
5996	+ fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex
5997	  lock/unlock when termlib was built separately.
5998
599920080216
6000	+ avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often
6001	  is implemented to suspend the entire process.
6002
600320080209
6004	+ update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for
6005	  comparisons.  This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open Curses
6006	  that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping.  None of the Unix-branded
6007	  implementations do this, as noted in manpage (cf: 20040228).
6008
600920080203
6010	+ modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same
6011	  for both narrow/wide models.  It had been set only for wide model,
6012	  but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model.
6013	+ improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by
6014	  using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append
6015	  further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A
6016	  Chernov).
6017	+ modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint().
6018	  If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
6019	  sequence.
6020
602120080126
6022	+ improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE
6023	  handling).  Now it hangs in napms(), no matter whether nanosleep()
6024	  or poll() or select() are used on Linux.
6025
602620080119
6027	+ fixes to build with --disable-ext-funcs
6028	+ add manpage for use_window and use_screen.
6029	+ add set_tabsize() and set_escdelay() functions.
6030
603120080112
6032	+ remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c
6033	+ remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's
6034	  adjust_window() which caused occasional misadjustment of stdscr when
6035	  softkeys were used.
6036
603720080105
6038	+ several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD
6039	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the
6040	  "link_test" builds properly.
6041	+ fix for toe command-line options -u/-U to ensure filename is given.
6042	+ fix allocation-size for command-line parsing in infocmp from 20070728
6043	  (report by Miroslav Lichvar)
6044	+ improve resizeterm() by moving ripped-off lines, and repainting the
6045	  soft-keys (report by Katarina Machalkova)
6046	+ add clarification in wclear's manpage noting that the screen will be
6047	  cleared even if a subwindow is cleared (prompted by Christer Enfors
6048	  question).
6049	+ change test/ncurses.c soft-key tests to work with KEY_RESIZE.
6050
605120071222
6052	+ continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
6053	  for delwin().
6054
605520071215
6056	+ add several functions to C++ binding which wrap C functions that
6057	  pass a WINDOW* parameter (request by Chris Lee).
6058
605920071201
6060	+ add note about configure options needed for Berkeley database to the
6061	  INSTALL file.
6062	+ improve checks for version of Berkeley database libraries.
6063	+ amend fix for rpath to not modify LDFLAGS if the platform has no
6064	  applicable transformation (report by Christian Ebert, cf: 20071124).
6065
606620071124
6067	+ modify configure option --with-hashed-db to accept a parameter which
6068	  is the install-prefix of a given Berkeley Database (prompted by
6069	  pierre4d2 comments).
6070	+ rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb(), making it work on Solaris.  This is
6071	  used in the form library to determine the length of the buffer needed
6072	  by field_buffer (report by Alfred Fung).
6073	+ remove unneeded window-parameter from C++ binding for wresize (report
6074	  by Chris Lee).
6075
607620071117
6077	+ modify the support for filesystems which do not support mixed-case to
6078	  generate 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the lower-level of the
6079	  filesystem terminfo database (request by Michail Vidiassov).
6080	+ add configure option --enable-mixed-case, to allow overriding the
6081	  configure script's check if the filesystem supports mixed-case
6082	  filenames.
6083	+ add wresize() to C++ binding (request by Chris Lee).
6084	+ define NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS and NCURSES_EXT_COLORS in curses.h to make
6085	  it simpler to tell if the extended functions and/or colors are
6086	  declared.
6087
608820071103
6089	+ update memory-leak checks for changes to names.c and codes.c
6090	+ correct acsc strings in h19, z100 (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler).
6091
609220071020
6093	+ continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
6094	  for use_window().
6095	+ add mrxvt terminfo entry, add/fix xterm building blocks for modified
6096	  cursor keys -TD
6097	+ compile with FreeBSD "contemporary" TTY interface (patch by
6098	  Rong-En Fan).
6099
610020071013
6101	+ modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built
6102	  without libtic.  The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
6103	  that library.
6104	+ add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
6105	  the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).
6106	+ fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat #310071,
6107	  patches by Miroslav Lichvar).
6108	+ improve performance of NCURSES_CHAR_EQ code (patch by Miroslav
6109	  Lichvar).
6110	+ update/improve mlterm and rxvt terminfo entries, e.g., for
6111	  the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
6112
611320071006
6114	+ add code to curses.priv.h ifdef'd with NCURSES_CHAR_EQ, which
6115	  changes the CharEq() macro to an inline function to allow comparing
6116	  cchar_t struct's without comparing gaps in a possibly unpacked
6117	  memory layout (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
6118
611920070929
6120	+ add new functions to lib_trace.c to setup mutex's for the _tracef()
6121	  calls within the ncurses library.
6122	+ for the reentrant model, move _nc_tputs_trace and _nc_outchars into
6123	  the SCREEN.
6124	+ start modifying test/worm.c to provide threading demo (incomplete).
6125	+ separated ifdef's for some BSD-related symbols in tset.c, to make
6126	  it compile on LynxOS (report by Greg Gemmer).
612720070915
6128	+ modify Ada95/gen/Makefile to use shlib script, to simplify building
6129	  shared-library configuration on platforms lacking rpath support.
6130	+ build-fix for Ada95/src/Makefile to reflect changed dependency for
6131	  the terminal-interface-curses-aux.adb file which is now generated.
6132	+ restructuring test/worm.c, for use_window() example.
6133
613420070908
6135	+ add use_window() and use_screen() functions, to develop into support
6136	  for threaded library (incomplete).
6137	+ fix typos in man/curs_opaque.3x which kept the install script from
6138	  creating symbolic links to two aliases created in 20070818 (report by
6139	  Rong-En Fan).
6140
614120070901
6142	+ remove a spurious newline from output of html.m4, which caused links
6143	  for Ada95 html to be incorrect for the files generated using m4.
6144	+ start investigating mutex's for SCREEN manipulation (incomplete).
6145	+ minor cleanup of codes.c/names.c for --enable-const
6146	+ expand/revise "Routine and Argument Names" section of ncurses manpage
6147	  to address report by David Givens in newsgroup discussion.
6148	+ fix interaction between --without-progs/--with-termcap configure
6149	  options (report by Michail Vidiassov).
6150	+ fix typo in "--disable-relink" option (report by Michail Vidiassov).
6151
615220070825
6153	+ fix a sign-extension bug in infocmp's repair_acsc() function
6154	  (cf: 971004).
6155	+ fix old configure script bug which prevented "--disable-warnings"
6156	  option from working (patch by Mike Frysinger).
6157
615820070818
6159	+ add 9term terminal description (request by Juhapekka Tolvanen) -TD
6160	+ modify comp_hash.c's string output to avoid misinterpreting a null
6161	  "\0" followed by a digit.
6162	+ modify MKnames.awk and MKcodes.awk to support big-strings.
6163	  This only applies to the cases (broken linker, reentrant) where
6164	  the corresponding arrays are accessed via wrapper functions.
6165	+ split MKnames.awk into two scripts, eliminating the shell redirection
6166	  which complicated the make process and also the bogus timestamp file
6167	  which was introduced to fix "make -j".
6168	+ add test/test_opaque.c, test/test_arrays.c
6169	+ add wgetscrreg() and wgetparent() for applications that may need it
6170	  when NCURSES_OPAQUE is defined (prompted by Bryan Christ).
6171
617220070812
6173	+ amend treatment of infocmp "-r" option to retain the 1023-byte limit
6174	  unless "-T" is given (cf: 981017).
6175	+ modify comp_captab.c generation to use big-strings.
6176	+ make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private accessed via
6177	  _nc_get_alias_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
6178	  library.
6179	+ modify configure script to skip Intel compiler in CF_C_INLINE.
6180	+ make _nc_info_hash_table and _nc_cap_hash_table private accessed via
6181	  _nc_get_hash_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
6182	  library.
6183
618420070728
6185	+ make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private, accessed via

6188	+ add --disable-big-strings configure option to control whether
6189	  unctrl.c is generated using the big-string optimization - which may
6190	  use strings longer than supported by a given compiler.
6191	+ reduce relocation tables for tic, infocmp by changing type of
6192	  internal hash tables to short, and make those private symbols.
6193	+ eliminate large fixed arrays from progs/infocmp.c

6204	  is used in tput and other non-screen applications via setupterm()
6205	  (Debian #433357, reported by Florent Bayle, Christian Ohm,
6206	  cf: 20070310).
6207
620820070714

6233	  multi-column extension bits are passed there.
6234	+ add setlocale() call to demo_panels.c, needed for wide-characters.
6235	+ add some output flags to _nc_trace_ttymode to help diagnose a bug
6236	  report by Larry Virden, i.e., ONLCR, OCRNL, ONOCR and ONLRET,
6237
623820070623
6239	+ add test/demo_panels.c

6246	  wunctrl() which is not in libtinfo (report by Rong-En Fan).
6247
624820070609
6249	+ add test/key_name.c

6262	+ modify wide-character flavor of SetAttr() to preserve the
6263	  WidecExt() value stored in the .attr field, e.g., in case it
6264	  is overwritten by chgat (report by Aleksi Torhamo).
6265	+ correct buffer-size for _nc_viswbuf2n() (report by Aleksi Torhamo).
6266	+ build-fixes for Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 (patch by Peter O'Gorman).
6267
626820070526
6269	+ modify keyname() to use "^X" form only if meta() has been called, or
6270	  if keyname() is called without initializing curses, e.g., via
6271	  initscr() or newterm() (prompted by LinuxBase #1604).
6272	+ document some portability issues in man/curs_util.3x
6273	+ add a shadow copy of TTY buffer to _nc_prescreen to fix applications
6274	  broken by moving that data into SCREEN (cf: 20061230).
6275
627620070512
6277	+ add 'O' (wide-character panel test) in ncurses.c to demonstrate a
6278	  problem reported by Sadrul H Chowdhury with repainting parts of
6279	  a fullwidth cell.
6280	+ modify slk_init() so that if there are preceding calls to
6281	  ripoffline(), those affect the available lines for soft-keys (adapted
6282	  from patch by Clive Nicolson).
6283	+ document some portability issues in man/curs_getyx.3x
6284
628520070505
6286	+ fix a bug in Ada95/samples/ncurses which caused a variable to
6287	  become uninitialized in the "b" test.
6288	+ fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in adahtml rule to account for recent
6289	  movement of files, fix a few incorrect manpage references in the
6290	  generated html.
6291	+ add Ada95 binding to _nc_freeall() as Curses_Free_All to help with
6292	  memory-checking.
6293	+ correct some functions in Ada95 binding which were using return value
6294	  from C where none was returned:  idcok(), immedok() and wtimeout().
6295	+ amend recent changes for Ada95 binding to make it build with
6296	  Cygwin's linker, e.g., with configure options
6297		--enable-broken-linker --with-ticlib
6298
629920070428
6300	+ add a configure check for gcc's options for inlining, use that to
6301	  quiet a warning message where gcc's default behavior changed from
6302	  3.x to 4.x.
6303	+ improve warning message when checking if GPM is linked to curses
6304	  library by not warning if its use of "wgetch" is via a weak symbol.
6305	+ add loader options when building with static libraries to ensure that
6306	  an installed shared library for ncurses does not conflict.  This is
6307	  reported as problem with Tru64, but could affect other platforms
6308	  (report Martin Mokrejs, analysis by Tim Mooney).
6309	+ fix build on cygwin after recent ticlib/termlib changes, i.e.,
6310	  + adjust TINFO_SUFFIX value to work with cygwin's dll naming
6311	  + revert a change from 20070303 which commented out dependency of
6312	    SHLIB_LIST in form/menu/panel/c++ libraries.
6313	+ fix initialization of ripoff stack pointer (cf: 20070421).
6314
631520070421
6316	+ move most static variables into structures _nc_globals and
6317	  _nc_prescreen, to simplify storage.
6318	+ add/use configure script macro CF_SIG_ATOMIC_T, use the corresponding
6319	  type for data manipulated by signal handlers (prompted by comments
6320	  in mailing.openbsd.bugs newsgroup).
6321	+ modify CF_WITH_LIBTOOL to allow one to pass options such as -static
6322	  to the libtool create- and link-operations.
6323
632420070414
6325	+ fix whitespace in curs_opaque.3x which caused a spurious ';' in
6326	  the installed aliases (report by Peter Santoro).
6327	+ fix configure script to not try to generate adacurses-config when
6328	  Ada95 tree is not built.
6329
633020070407
6331	+ add man/curs_legacy.3x, man/curs_opaque.3x
6332	+ fix acs_map binding for Ada95 when --enable-reentrant is used.
6333	+ add adacurses-config to the Ada95 install, based on version from
6334	  FreeBSD port, in turn by Juergen Pfeifer in 2000 (prompted by
6335	  comment on comp.lang.ada newsgroup).
6336	+ fix includes in c++ binding to build with Intel compiler
6337	  (cf: 20061209).
6338	+ update install rule in Ada95 to use mkdirs.sh
6339	> other fixes prompted by inspection for Coverity report:
6340	+ modify ifdef's for c++ binding to use try/catch/throw statements

6348	+ remove an unused assignment in progs/infocmp.c
6349	+ fix a limit check in tack/ansi.c tools_charset()
6350	+ fix tack/ansi.c tools_status() to perform the VT320/VT420
6351	  tests in request_cfss().  The function had exited too soon.

6353	+ fix a couple of places in tack/output.c which did not check for EOF.
6354	+ fix a loop-condition in test/bs.c

6358	+ fix a possible null-pointer dereference in copywin()
6359	+ fix a possible null-pointer dereference in waddchnstr()

6365	+ fix a double-free in ncurses/base/wresize.c
6366	+ add try/catch block to c++/cursesmain.cc
6367
636820070331
6369	+ modify Ada95 binding to build with --enable-reentrant by wrapping
6370	  global variables (bug: acs_map does not yet work).
6371	+ modify Ada95 binding to use the new access-functions, allowing it
6372	  to build/run when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
6373	+ add access-functions and macros to return properties of the WINDOW
6374	  structure, e.g., when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
6375	+ improved install-sh's quoting.
6376	+ use mkdirs.sh rather than mkinstalldirs, e.g., to use fixes from
6377	  other programs.
6378
637920070324
6380	+ eliminate part of the direct use of WINDOW data from Ada95 interface.
6381	+ fix substitutions for termlib filename to make configure option
6382	  --enable-reentrant work with --with-termlib.
6383	+ change a constructor for NCursesWindow to allow compiling with
6384	  NCURSES_OPAQUE set, since we cannot pass a reference to
6385	  an opaque pointer.
6386
638720070317
6388	+ ignore --with-chtype=unsigned since unsigned is always added to
6389	  the type in curses.h; do the same for --with-mmask-t.
6390	+ change warning regarding --enable-ext-colors and wide-character
6391	  in the configure script to an error.
6392	+ tweak error message in CF_WITH_LIBTOOL to distinguish other programs
6393	  such as Darwin's libtool program (report by Michail Vidiassov)
6394	+ modify edit_man.sh to allow for multiple substitutions per line.
6395	+ set locale in misc/ncurses-config.in since it uses a range
6396	+ change permissions libncurses++.a install (report by Michail
6397	  Vidiassov).
6398	+ corrected length of temporary buffer in wide-character version
6399	  of set_field_buffer() (related to report by Bryan Christ).
6400
640120070311
6402	+ fix mk-1st.awk script install_shlib() function, broken in 20070224
6403	  changes for cygwin (report by  Michail Vidiassov).
6404
640520070310
6406	+ increase size of array in _nc_visbuf2n() to make "tic -v" work
6407	  properly in its similar_sgr() function (report/analysis by Peter
6408	  Santoro).
6409	+ add --enable-reentrant configure option for ongoing changes to
6410	  implement a reentrant version of ncurses:
6411	  + libraries are suffixed with "t"
6412	  + wrap several global variables (curscr, newscr, stdscr, ttytype,
6413	    COLORS, COLOR_PAIRS, COLS, ESCDELAY, LINES and TABSIZE) as
6414	    functions returning values stored in SCREEN or cur_term.
6415	  + move some initialization (LINES, COLS) from lib_setup.c,
6416	    i.e., setupterm() to _nc_setupscreen(), i.e., newterm().
6417
641820070303
6419	+ regenerated html documentation.
6420	+ add NCURSES_OPAQUE symbol to curses.h, will use to make structs
6421	  opaque in selected configurations.
6422	+ move the chunk in lib_acs.c which resets acs capabilities when
6423	  running on a terminal whose locale interferes with those into
6424	  _nc_setupscreen(), so the libtinfo/libtinfow files can be made
6425	  identical (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
6426	+ do not use configure variable SHLIB_LIBS for building libraries
6427	  outside the ncurses directory, since that symbol is customized
6428	  only for that directory, and using it introduces an unneeded
6429	  dependency on libdl (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
6430	+ modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or
6431	  installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in
6432	  case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh (report by Jeff
6433	  Chua).
6434	+ revised section "Using NCURSES under XTERM" in ncurses-intro.html
6435	  (prompted by newsgroup comment by Nick Guenther).
6436
643720070224
6438	+ change internal return codes of _nc_wgetch() to check for cases
6439	  where KEY_CODE_YES should be returned, e.g., if a KEY_RESIZE was
6440	  ungetch'd, and read by wget_wch().
6441	+ fix static-library build broken in 20070217 changes to remove "-ldl"
6442	  (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
6443	+ change makefile/scripts for cygwin to allow building termlib.
6444	+ use Form_Hook in manpages to match form.h
6445	+ use Menu_Hook in manpages, as well as a few places in menu.h
6446	+ correct form- and menu-manpages to use specific Field_Options,
6447	  Menu_Options and Item_Options types.
6448	+ correct prototype for _tracechar() in manpage (cf: 20011229).
6449	+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
6450
645120070217
6452	+ fixes for $(TICS_LIST) in ncurses/Makefile (report by Miroslav
6453	  Lichvar).
6454	+ modify relinking of shared libraries to apply only when rpath is
6455	  enabled, and add --disable-relink option which can be used to
6456	  disable the feature altogether (reports by Michail Vidiassov,
6457	  Adam J Richter).
6458	+ fix --with-termlib option for wide-character configuration, stripping
6459	  the "w" suffix in one place (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
6460	+ remove "-ldl" from some library lists to reduce dependencies in
6461	  programs (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
6462	+ correct description of --enable-signed-char in configure --help
6463	  (report by Michail Vidiassov).
6464	+ add pattern for GNU/kFreeBSD configuration to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE,
6465	  which matches an earlier change to CF_SHARED_OPTS, from xterm #224
6466	  fixes.
6467	+ remove "${DESTDIR}" from -install_name option used for linking
6468	  shared libraries on Darwin (report by Michail Vidiassov).
6469
647020070210
6471	+ add test/inchs.c, test/inch_wide.c, to test win_wchnstr().
6472	+ remove libdl from library list for termlib (report by Miroslav
6473	  Lichvar).
6474	+ fix configure.in to allow --without-progs --with-termlib (patch by
6475	  Miroslav Lichvar).
6476	+ modify win_wchnstr() to ensure that only a base cell is returned
6477	  for each multi-column character (prompted by report by Wei Kong
6478	  regarding change in mvwin_wch() cf: 20041023).
6479
648020070203
6481	+ modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
6482	  from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
6483	  Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
6484	  associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
6485	  Ricardo Cantu).
6486	+ improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
6487	+ ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
6488	+ add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
6489	  to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
6490	+ drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
6491	  no longer relies on it.
6492	+ disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
6493	  --enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
6494	+ remove tack from ncurses tree.
6495
649620070128
6497	+ fix typo in configure script that broke --with-termlib option
6498	  (report by Rong-En Fan).
6499
650020070127
6501	+ improve fix for FreeBSD gnu/98975, to allow for null pointer passed
6502	  to tgetent() (report by Rong-en Fan).
6503	+ update tack/HISTORY and tack/README to tell how to build it after
6504	  it is removed from the ncurses tree.
6505	+ fix configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
6506	  (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
6507	+ review/eliminate other original-file artifacts in cursesw.cc, making
6508	  its license consistent with ncurses.
6509	+ use ncurses vw_scanw() rather than reading into a fixed buffer in
6510	  the c++ binding for scanw() methods (prompted by report by Nuno Dias).
6511	+ eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding.
6512
651320070120
6514	+ add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from
6515	  term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency.
6516	+ fix test/mk-test.awk to ignore blank lines.
6517	+ correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav
6518	  Lichvar).
6519
652020070113
6521	+ add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the
6522	  _first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak).
6523	+ add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the
6524	  ncurses build-tree.
6525	+ add --with-ticlib option, to build/install the tic-support functions
6526	  in a separate library (suggested by Miroslav Lichvar).
6527
652820070106
6529	+ change MKunctrl.awk to reduce relocation table for unctrl.o
6530	+ change MKkeyname.awk to reduce relocation table for keyname.o
6531	  (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
6532
653320061230
6534	+ modify configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
6535	  (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
6536	+ modify some modules to allow them to be reentrant if _REENTRANT is
6537	  defined: lib_baudrate.c, resizeterm.c (local data only)
6538	+ eliminate static data from some modules: add_tries.c, hardscroll.c,
6539	  lib_ttyflags.c, lib_twait.c
6540	+ improve manpage install to add aliases for the transformed program
6541	  names, e.g., from --program-prefix.
6542	+ used linklint to verify links in the HTML documentation, made fixes
6543	  to manpages as needed.
6544	+ fix a typo in curs_mouse.3x (report by William McBrine).
6545	+ fix install-rule for ncurses5-config to make the bin-directory.
6546
654720061223
6548	+ modify configure script to omit the tic (terminfo compiler) support
6549	  from ncurses library if --without-progs option is given.
6550	+ modify install rule for ncurses5-config to do this via "install.libs"
6551	+ modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath.
6552	+ update config.guess, config.sub
6553
655420061217 5.6 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
6555
655620061217
6557	+ add ifdef's for <wctype.h> for HPUX, which has the corresponding
6558	  definitions in <wchar.h>.
6559	+ revert the va_copy() change from 20061202, since it was neither
6560	  correct nor portable.
6561	+ add $(LOCAL_LIBS) definition to progs/Makefile.in, needed for
6562	  rpath on Solaris.
6563	+ ignore wide-acs line-drawing characters that wcwidth() claims are
6564	  not one-column.  This is a workaround for Solaris' broken locale
6565	  support.
6566
656720061216
6568	+ modify configure --with-gpm option to allow it to accept a parameter,
6569	  i.e., the name of the dynamic GPM library to load via dlopen()
6570	  (requested by Bryan Henderson).
6571	+ add configure option --with-valgrind, changes from vile.
6572	+ modify configure script AC_TRY_RUN and AC_TRY_LINK checks to use
6573	  'return' in preference to 'exit()'.
6574
657520061209
6576	+ change default for --with-develop back to "no".
6577	+ add XTABS to tracing of TTY bits.
6578	+ updated autoconf patch to ifdef-out the misfeature which declares
6579	  exit() for configure tests.  This fixes a redefinition warning on
6580	  Solaris.
6581	+ use ${CC} rather than ${LD} in shared library rules for IRIX64,
6582	  Solaris to help ensure that initialization sections are provided for
6583	  extra linkage requirements, e.g., of C++ applications (prompted by
6584	  comment by Casper Dik in newsgroup).
6585	+ rename "$target" in CF_MAN_PAGES to make it easier to distinguish
6586	  from the autoconf predefined symbol.  There was no conflict,
6587	  since "$target" was used only in the generated edit_man.sh file,
6588	  but SuSE's rpm package contains a patch.
6589
659020061202
6591	+ update man/term.5 to reflect extended terminfo support and hashed
6592	  database configuration.
6593	+ updates for test/configure script.
6594	+ adapted from SuSE rpm package:
6595	  + remove long-obsolete workaround for broken-linker which declared
6596	    cur_term in tic.c
6597	  + improve error recovery in PUTC() macro when wcrtomb() does not
6598	    return usable results for an 8-bit character.
6599	+ patches from rpm package (SuSE):
6600	  + use va_copy() in extra varargs manipulation for tracing version
6601	    of printw, etc.
6602	  + use a va_list rather than a null in _nc_freeall()'s call to
6603	    _nc_printf_string().
6604	+ add some see-also references in manpages to show related
6605	  wide-character functions (suggested by Claus Fischer).
6606
660720061125
6608	+ add a check in lib_color.c to ensure caller does not increase COLORS
6609	  above max_colors, which is used as an array index (discussion with
6610	  Simon Sasburg).
6611	+ add ifdef's allowing ncurses to be built with tparm() using either
6612	  varargs (the existing status), or using a fixed-parameter list (to
6613	  match X/Open).
6614
661520061104
6616	+ fix redrawing of windows other than stdscr using wredrawln() by
6617	  touching the corresponding rows in curscr (discussion with Dan
6618	  Gookin).
6619	+ add test/redraw.c
6620	+ add test/echochar.c
6621	+ review/cleanup manpage descriptions of error-returns for form- and
6622	  menu-libraries (prompted by FreeBSD docs/46196).
6623
662420061028
6625	+ add AUTHORS file -TD
6626	+ omit the -D options from output of the new config script --cflags
6627	  option (suggested by Ralf S Engelschall).
6628	+ make NCURSES_INLINE unconditionally defined in curses.h
6629
663020061021
6631	+ revert change to accommodate bash 3.2, since that breaks other
6632	  platforms, e.g., Solaris.
6633	+ minor fixes to NEWS file to simplify scripting to obtain list of
6634	  contributors.
6635	+ improve some shared-library configure scripting for Linux, FreeBSD
6636	  and NetBSD to make "--with-shlib-version" work.
6637	+ change configure-script rules for FreeBSD shared libraries to allow
6638	  for rpath support in versions past 3.
6639	+ use $(DESTDIR) in makefile rules for installing/uninstalling the
6640	  package config script (reports/patches by Christian Wiese,
6641	  Ralf S Engelschall).
6642	+ fix a warning in the configure script for NetBSD 2.0, working around
6643	  spurious blanks embedded in its ${MAKEFLAGS} symbol.
6644	+ change test/Makefile to simplify installing test programs in a
6645	  different directory when --enable-rpath is used.
6646
664720061014
6648	+ work around bug in bash 3.2 by adding extra quotes (Jim Gifford).
6649	+ add/install a package config script, e.g., "ncurses5-config" or
6650	  "ncursesw5-config", according to configuration options.
6651
665220061007
6653	+ add several GNU Screen terminfo variations with 16- and 256-colors,
6654	  and status line (Alain Bench).
6655	+ change the way shared libraries (other than libtool) are installed.
6656	  Rather than copying the build-tree's libraries, link the shared
6657	  objects into the install directory.  This makes the --with-rpath
6658	  option work except with $(DESTDIR) (cf: 20000930).
6659
666020060930
6661	+ fix ifdef in c++/internal.h for QNX 6.1
6662	+ test-compiled with (old) egcs-1.1.2, modified configure script to
6663	  not unset the $CXX and related variables which would prevent this.
6664	+ fix a few terminfo.src typos exposed by improvements to "-f" option.
6665	+ improve infocmp/tic "-f" option formatting.
6666
666720060923
6668	+ make --disable-largefile option work (report by Thomas M Ott).
6669	+ updated html documentation.
6670	+ add ka2, kb1, kb3, kc2 to vt220-keypad as an extension -TD
6671	+ minor improvements to rxvt+pcfkeys -TD
6672
667320060916
6674	+ move static data from lib_mouse.c into SCREEN struct.
6675	+ improve ifdef's for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset to work with Mac OS X
6676	  (report by Michail Vidiassov).
6677	+ modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX to ensure it uses the result from --prefix
6678	  option (from lynx changes) -TD
6679	+ adapt AC_PROG_EGREP check, noting that this is likely to be another
6680	  place aggravated by POSIXLY_CORRECT.
6681	+ modify configure check for awk to ensure that it is found (prompted
6682	  by report by Christopher Parker).
6683	+ update config.sub
6684
668520060909
6686	+ add kon, kon2 and jfbterm terminfo entry (request by Till Maas) -TD
6687	+ remove invis capability from klone+sgr, mainly used by linux entry,
6688	  since it does not really do this -TD
6689
669020060903
6691	+ correct logic in wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not guard
6692	  against passing the multi-column attribute into a call on waddch(),
6693	  e.g., using data returned by win_wch() (cf: 20041023)
6694	  (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
6695
669620060902
6697	+ fix kterm's acsc string -TD
6698	+ fix for change to tic/infocmp in 20060819 to ensure no blank is
6699	  embedded into a termcap description.
6700	+ workaround for 20050806 ifdef's change to allow visbuf.c to compile
6701	  when using --with-termlib --with-trace options.
6702	+ improve tgetstr() by making the return value point into the user's
6703	  buffer, if provided (patch by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat #202480)).
6704	+ correct libraries needed for foldkeys (report by Stanislav Ievlev)
6705
670620060826
6707	+ add terminfo entries for xfce terminal (xfce) and multi gnome
6708	  terminal (mgt) -TD
6709	+ add test/foldkeys.c
6710
671120060819
6712	+ modify tic and infocmp to avoid writing trailing blanks on terminfo
6713	  source output (Debian #378783).
6714	+ modify configure script to ensure that if the C compiler is used
6715	  rather than the loader in making shared libraries, the $(CFLAGS)
6716	  variable is also used (Redhat #199369).
6717	+ port hashed-db code to db2 and db3.
6718	+ fix a bug in tgetent() from 20060625 and 20060715 changes
6719	  (patch/analysis by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat #202480)).
6720
672120060805
6722	+ updated xterm function-keys terminfo to match xterm #216 -TD
6723	+ add configure --with-hashed-db option (tested only with FreeBSD 6.0,
6724	  e.g., the db 1.8.5 interface).
6725
672620060729
6727	+ modify toe to access termcap data, e.g., via cgetent() functions,
6728	  or as a text file if those are not available.
6729	+ use _nc_basename() in tset to improve $SHELL check for csh/sh.
6730	+ modify _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_termcap_entry() so infocmp,
6731	  can access termcap data when the terminfo database is disabled.
6732
673320060722
6734	+ widen the test for xterm kmous a little to allow for other strings
6735	  than \E[M, e.g., for xterm-sco functionality in xterm.
6736	+ update xterm-related terminfo entries to match xterm patch #216 -TD
6737	+ update config.guess, config.sub
6738
673920060715
6740	+ fix for install-rule in Ada95 to add terminal_interface.ads
6741	  and terminal_interface.ali (anonymous posting in comp.lang.ada).
6742	+ correction to manpage for getcchar() (report by William McBrine).
6743	+ add test/chgat.c
6744	+ modify wchgat() to mark updated cells as changed so a refresh will
6745	  repaint those cells (comments by Sadrul H Chowdhury and William
6746	  McBrine).
6747	+ split up dependency of names.c and codes.c in ncurses/Makefile to
6748	  work with parallel make (report/analysis by Joseph S Myers).
6749	+ suppress a warning message (which is ignored) for systems without
6750	  an ldconfig program (patch by Justin Hibbits).
6751	+ modify configure script --disable-symlinks option to allow one to
6752	  disable symlink() in tic even when link() does not work (report by
6753	  Nigel Horne).
6754	+ modify MKfallback.sh to use tic -x when constructing fallback tables
6755	  to allow extended capabilities to be retrieved from a fallback entry.
6756	+ improve leak-checking logic in tgetent() from 20060625 to ensure that
6757	  it does not free the current screen (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
6758
675920060708
6760	+ add a check for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset (NetBSD #33916).
6761	+ correct _nc_free_entries() and related functions used for memory leak
6762	  checking of tic.
6763
676420060701
6765	+ revert a minor change for magic-cookie support from 20060513, which
6766	  caused unexpected reset of attributes, e.g., when resizing test/view
6767	  in color mode.
6768	+ note in clear manpage that the program ignores command-line
6769	  parameters (prompted by Debian #371855).
6770	+ fixes to make lib_gen.c build properly with changes to the configure
6771	  --disable-macros option and NCURSES_NOMACROS (cf:  20060527)
6772	+ update/correct several terminfo entries -TD
6773	+ add some notes regarding copyright to terminfo.src -TD
6774
677520060625
6776	+ fixes to build Ada95 binding with gnat-4.1.0
6777	+ modify read_termtype() so the term_names data is always allocated as
6778	  part of the str_table, a better fix for a memory leak (cf: 20030809).
6779	+ reduce memory leaks in repeated calls to tgetent() by remembering the
6780	  last TERMINAL* value allocated to hold the corresponding data and
6781	  freeing that if the tgetent() result buffer is the same as the
6782	  previous call (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
6783	+ modify tack to test extended capability function-key strings.
6784	+ improved gnome terminfo entry (GenToo #122566).
6785	+ improved xterm-256color terminfo entry (patch by Alain Bench).
6786
678720060617
6788	+ fix two small memory leaks related to repeated tgetent() calls
6789	  with TERM=screen (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
6790	+ add --enable-signed-char to simplify Debian package.
6791	+ reduce name-pollution in term.h by removing #define's for HAVE_xxx
6792	  symbols.
6793	+ correct typo in curs_terminfo.3x (Debian #369168).
6794
679520060603
6796	+ enable the mouse in test/movewindow.c
6797	+ improve a limit-check in frm_def.c (John Heasley).
6798	+ minor copyright fixes.
6799	+ change configure script to produce test/Makefile from data file.
6800
680120060527
6802	+ add a configure option --enable-wgetch-events to enable
6803	  NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS, and correct the associated loop-logic in
6804	  lib_twait.c (report by Bernd Jendrissek).
6805	+ remove include/nomacros.h from build, since the ifdef for
6806	  NCURSES_NOMACROS makes that obsolete.
6807	+ add entrypoints for some functions which were only provided as macros
6808	  to make NCURSES_NOMACROS ifdef work properly:  getcurx(), getcury(),
6809	  getbegx(), getbegy(), getmaxx(), getmaxy(), getparx() and getpary(),
6810	  wgetbkgrnd().
6811	+ provide ifdef for NCURSES_NOMACROS which suppresses most macro
6812	  definitions from curses.h, i.e., where a macro is defined to override
6813	  a function to improve performance.  Allowing a developer to suppress
6814	  these definitions can simplify some application (discussion with
6815	  Stanislav Ievlev).
6816	+ improve description of memu/meml in terminfo manpage.
6817
681820060520
6819	+ if msgr is false, reset video attributes when doing an automargin
6820	  wrap to the next line.  This makes the ncurses 'k' test work properly
6821	  for hpterm.
6822	+ correct caching of keyname(), which was using only half of its table.
6823	+ minor fixes to memory-leak checking.
6824	+ make SCREEN._acs_map and SCREEN._screen_acs_map pointers rather than
6825	  arrays, making ACS_LEN less visible to applications (suggested by
6826	  Stanislav Ievlev).
6827	+ move chunk in SCREEN ifdef'd for USE_WIDEC_SUPPORT to the end, so
6828	  _screen_acs_map will have the same offset in both ncurses/ncursesw,
6829	  making the corresponding tinfo/tinfow libraries binary-compatible
6830	  (cf: 20041016, report by Stanislav Ievlev).
6831
683220060513
6833	+ improve debug-tracing for EmitRange().
6834	+ change default for --with-develop to "yes".  Add NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS
6835	  and NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE environment variables to allow runtime
6836	  suppression of the related hard-tabs and xmc-glitch features.
6837	+ add ncurses version number to top-level manpages, e.g., ncurses, tic,
6838	  infocmp, terminfo as well as form, menu, panel.
6839	+ update config.guess, config.sub
6840	+ modify ncurses.c to work around a bug in NetBSD 3.0 curses
6841	  (field_buffer returning null for a valid field).  The 'r' test
6842	  appears to not work with that configuration since the new_fieldtype()
6843	  function is broken in that implementation.
6844
684520060506
6846	+ add hpterm-color terminfo entry -TD
6847	+ fixes to compile test-programs with HPUX 11.23
6848
684920060422
6850	+ add copyright notices to files other than those that are generated,
6851	  data or adapted from pdcurses (reports by William McBrine, David
6852	  Taylor).
6853	+ improve rendering on hpterm by not resetting attributes at the end
6854	  of doupdate() if the terminal has the magic-cookie feature (report
6855	  by Bernd Rieke).
6856	+ add 256color variants of terminfo entries for programs which are
6857	  reported to implement this feature -TD
6858
685920060416
6860	+ fix typo in change to NewChar() macro from 20060311 changes, which
6861	  broke tab-expansion (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
6862
686320060415
6864	+ document -U option of tic and infocmp.
6865	+ modify tic/infocmp to suppress smacs/rmacs when acsc is suppressed
6866	  due to size limit, e.g., converting to termcap format.  Also
6867	  suppress them if the output format does not contain acsc and it
6868	  was not VT100-like, i.e., a one-one mapping (Novell #163715).
6869	+ add configure check to ensure that SIGWINCH is defined on platforms
6870	  such as OS X which exclude that when _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., are
6871	  defined (report by Nicholas Cole)
6872
687320060408
6874	+ modify write_object() to not write coincidental extensions of an
6875	  entry made due to it being referenced in a use= clause (report by
6876	  Alain Bench).
6877	+ another fix for infocmp -i option, which did not ensure that some
6878	  escape sequences had comparable prefixes (report by Alain Bench).
6879
688020060401
6881	+ improve discussion of init/reset in terminfo and tput manpages
6882	  (report by Alain Bench).
6883	+ use is3 string for a fallback of rs3 in the reset program; it was
6884	  using is2 (report by Alain Bench).
6885	+ correct logic for infocmp -i option, which did not account for
6886	  multiple digits in a parameter (cf: 20040828) (report by Alain
6887	  Bench).
6888	+ move _nc_handle_sigwinch() to lib_setup.c to make --with-termlib
6889	  option work after 20060114 changes (report by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz).
6890	+ add copyright notices to test-programs as needed (report by William
6891	  McBrine).
6892
689320060318
6894	+ modify ncurses.c 'F' test to combine the wide-characters with color
6895	  and/or video attributes.
6896	+ modify test/ncurses to use CTL/Q or ESC consistently for exiting
6897	  a test-screen (some commands used 'x' or 'q').
6898
689920060312
6900	+ fix an off-by-one in the scrolling-region change (cf_ 20060311).
6901
690220060311
6903	+ add checks in waddchnstr() and wadd_wchnstr() to stop copying when
6904	  a null character is found (report by Igor Bogomazov).
6905	+ modify progs/Makefile.in to make "tput init" work properly with
6906	  cygwin, i.e., do not pass a ".exe" in the reference string used
6907	  in check_aliases (report by Samuel Thibault).
6908	+ add some checks to ensure current position is within scrolling
6909	  region before scrolling on a new line (report by Dan Gookin).
6910	+ change some NewChar() usage to static variables to work around
6911	  stack garbage introduced when cchar_t is not packed (Redhat #182024).
6912
691320060225
6914	+ workarounds to build test/movewindow with PDcurses 2.7.
6915	+ fix for nsterm-16color entry (patch by Alain Bench).
6916	+ correct a typo in infocmp manpage (Debian #354281).
6917
691820060218
6919	+ add nsterm-16color entry -TD
6920	+ updated mlterm terminfo entry -TD
6921	+ remove 970913 feature for copying subwindows as they are moved in
6922	  mvwin() (discussion with Bryan Christ).
6923	+ modify test/demo_menus.c to demonstrate moving a menu (both the
6924	  window and subwindow) using shifted cursor-keys.
6925	+ start implementing recursive mvwin() in movewindow.c (incomplete).
6926	+ add a fallback definition for GCC_PRINTFLIKE() in test.priv.h,
6927	  for movewindow.c (report by William McBrine).
6928	+ add help-message to test/movewindow.c
6929
693020060211
6931	+ add test/movewindow.c, to test mvderwin().
6932	+ fix ncurses soft-key test so color changes are shown immediately
6933	  rather than delayed.
6934	+ modify ncurses soft-key test to hide the keys when exiting the test
6935	  screen.
6936	+ fixes to build test programs with PDCurses 2.7, e.g., its headers
6937	  rely on autoconf symbols, and it declares stubs for nonfunctional
6938	  terminfo and termcap entrypoints.
6939
694020060204
6941	+ improved test/configure to build test/ncurses on HPUX 11 using the
6942	  vendor curses.
6943	+ documented ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS in the ncurses manpage, for the
6944	  benefit of developers who do not read INSTALL.
6945
694620060128
6947	+ correct form library Window_To_Buffer() change (cf:  20040516), which
6948	  should ignore the video attributes (report by Ricardo Cantu).
6949
695020060121
6951	+ minor fixes to xmc-glitch experimental code:
6952	  + suppress line-drawing
6953	  + implement max_attributes
6954	  tested with xterm.
6955	+ minor fixes for the database iterator.
6956	+ fix some buffer limits in c++ demo (comment by Falk Hueffner in
6957	  Debian #348117).
6958
695920060114
6960	+ add toe -a option, to show all databases.  This uses new private
6961	  interfaces in the ncurses library for iterating through the list of
6962	  databases.
6963	+ fix toe from 20000909 changes which made it not look at
6964	  $HOME/.terminfo
6965	+ make toe's -v option parameter optional as per manpage.
6966	+ improve SIGWINCH handling by postponing its effect during newterm(),
6967	  etc., when allocating screens.
6968
696920060111
6970	+ modify wgetnstr() to return KEY_RESIZE if a sigwinch occurs.  Use
6971	  this in test/filter.c
6972	+ fix an error in filter() modification which caused some applications
6973	  to fail.
6974
697520060107
6976	+ check if filter() was called when getting the screensize.  Keep it
6977	  at 1 if so (based on Redhat #174498).
6978	+ add extension nofilter().
6979	+ refined the workaround for ACS mapping.
6980	+ make ifdef's consistent in curses.h for the extended colors so the
6981	  header file can be used for the normal curses library.  The header
6982	  file installed for extended colors is a variation of the
6983	  wide-character configuration (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
6984
698520051231
6986	+ add a workaround to ACS mapping to allow applications such as
6987	  test/blue.c to use the "PC ROM" characters by masking them with
6988	  A_ALTCHARSET.  This worked up til 5.5, but was lost in the revision
6989	  of legacy coding (report by Michael Deutschmann).
6990	+ add a null-pointer check in the wide-character version of
6991	  calculate_actual_width() (report by Victor Julien).
6992	+ improve test/ncurses 'd' (color-edit) test by allowing the RGB
6993	  values to be set independently (patch by William McBrine).
6994	+ modify test/configure script to allow building test programs with
6995	  PDCurses/X11.
6996	+ modified test programs to allow some to work with NetBSD curses.
6997	  Several do not because NetBSD curses implements a subset of X/Open
6998	  curses, and also lacks much of SVr4 additions.  But it's enough for
6999	  comparison.
7000	+ update config.guess and config.sub
7001
700220051224
7003	+ use BSD-specific fix for return-value from cgetent() from CVS where
7004	  an unknown terminal type would be reportd as "database not found".
7005	+ make tgetent() return code more readable using new symbols
7006	  TGETENT_YES, etc.
7007	+ remove references to non-existent "tctest" program.
7008	+ remove TESTPROGS from progs/Makefile.in (it was referring to code
7009	  that was never built in that directory).
7010	+ typos in curs_addchstr.3x, some doc files (noticed in OpenBSD CVS).
7011
701220051217
7013	+ add use_legacy_coding() function to support lynx's font-switching
7014	  feature.
7015	+ fix formatting in curs_termcap.3x (report by Mike Frysinger).
7016	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to change preprocessor-expanded _Bool back to
7017	  bool.
7018
701920051210
7020	+ extend test/ncurses.c 's' (overlay window) test to exercise overlay(),
7021	  overwrite() and copywin() with different combinations of colors and
7022	  attributes (including background color) to make it easy to see the
7023	  effect of the different functions.
7024	+ corrections to menu/m_global.c for wide-characters (report by
7025	  Victor Julien).
7026
702720051203
7028	+ add configure option --without-dlsym, allowing developers to
7029	  configure GPM support without using dlsym() (discussion with Michael
7030	  Setzer).
7031	+ fix wins_nwstr(), which did not handle single-column non-8bit codes
7032	  (Debian #341661).
7033
703420051126
7035	+ move prototypes for wide-character trace functions from curses.tail
7036	  to curses.wide to avoid accidental reference to those if
7037	  _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined without ensuring that <wchar.h> is
7038	  included.
7039	+ add/use NCURSES_INLINE definition.
7040	+ change some internal functions to use int/unsigned rather than the
7041	  short equivalents.
7042
704320051119
7044	+ remove a redundant check in lib_color.c (Debian #335655).
7045	+ use ld's -search_paths_first option on Darwin to work around odd
7046	  search rules on that platform (report by Christian Gennerat, analysis
7047	  by Andrea Govoni).
7048	+ remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro.
7049	+ ignore EINTR in tcgetattr/tcsetattr calls (Debian #339518).
7050	+ fix several bugs in test/bs.c (patch by Stephen Lindholm).
7051
705220051112
7053	+ other minor fixes to cygwin based on tack -TD
7054	+ correct smacs in cygwin (Debian #338234, report by Baurzhan
7055	  Ismagulov, who noted that it was fixed in Cygwin).
7056
705720051029
7058	+ add shifted up/down arrow codes to xterm-new as kind/kri strings -TD
7059	+ modify wbkgrnd() to avoid clearing the A_CHARTEXT attribute bits
7060	  since those record the state of multicolumn characters (Debian
7061	  #316663).
7062	+ modify werase to clear multicolumn characters that extend into
7063	  a derived window (Debian #316663).
7064
706520051022
7066	+ move assignment from environment variable ESCDELAY from initscr()
7067	  down to newterm() so the environment variable affects timeouts for
7068	  terminals opened with newterm() as well.
7069	+ fix a memory leak in keyname().
7070	+ add test/demo_altkeys.c
7071	+ modify test/demo_defkey.c to exit from loop via 'q' to allow
7072	  leak-checking, as well as fix a buffer size in winnstr() call.
7073
707420051015
7075	+ correct order of use-clauses in rxvt-basic entry which made codes for
7076	  f1-f4 vt100-style rather than vt220-style (report by Gabor Z Papp).
7077	+ suppress configure check for gnatmake if Ada95/Makefile.in is not
7078	  found.
7079	+ correct a typo in configure --with-bool option for the case where
7080	  --without-cxx is used (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
7081	+ add a note to INSTALL's discussion of --with-normal, pointing out
7082	  that one may wish to use --without-gpm to ensure a completely
7083	  static link (prompted by report by Felix von Leitner).
7084
708520051010 5.5 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
7086
708720051008
7088	+ document in demo_forms.c some portability issues.
7089
709020051001
7091	+ document side-effect of werase() which sets the cursor position.
7092	+ save/restore the current position in form field editing to make
7093	  overlay mode work.
7094
709520050924
7096	+ correct header dependencies in progs, allowing parallel make (report
7097	  by Daniel Jacobowitz).
7098	+ modify CF_BUILD_CC to ensure that pre-setting $BUILD_CC overrides
7099	  the configure check for --with-build-cc (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
7100	+ modify CF_CFG_DEFAULTS to not use /usr as the default prefix for
7101	  NetBSD.
7102	+ update config.guess and config.sub from
7103		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
7104
710520050917
7106	+ modify sed expression which computes path for /usr/lib/terminfo
7107	  symbolic link in install to ensure that it does not change unexpected
7108	  levels of the path (Gentoo #42336).
7109	+ modify default for --disable-lp64 configure option to reduce impact
7110	  on existing 64-bit builds.  Enabling the _LP64 option may change the
7111	  size of chtype and mmask_t.  However, for ABI 6, it is enabled by
7112	  default (report by Mike Frysinger).
7113	+ add configure script check for --enable-ext-mouse, bump ABI to 6 by
7114	  default if it is used.
7115	+ improve configure script logic for bumping ABI to omit this if the
7116	  --with-abi-version option was used.
7117	+ update address for Free Software Foundation in tack's source.
7118	+ correct wins_wch(), which was not marking the filler-cells of
7119	  multi-column characters (cf:  20041023).
7120
712120050910
7122	+ modify mouse initialization to ensure that Gpm_Open() is called only
7123	  once.  Otherwise GPM gets confused in its initialization of signal
7124	  handlers (Debian #326709).
7125
712620050903
7127	+ modify logic for backspacing in a multiline form field to ensure that
7128	  it works even when the preceding line is full (report by Frank van
7129	  Vugt).
7130	+ remove comment about BUGS section of ncurses manpage (Debian #325481)
7131
713220050827
7133	+ document some workarounds for shared and libtool library
7134	  configurations in INSTALL (see --with-shared and --with-libtool).
7135	+ modify CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GXX_VERSION macros to accommodate
7136	  cross-compilers which emit the platform name in their version
7137	  message, e.g.,
7138		arm-sa1100-linux-gnu-g++ (GCC) 4.0.1
7139	  (report by Frank van Vugt).
7140
714120050820
7142	+ start updating documentation for upcoming 5.5 release.
7143	+ fix to make libtool  and libtinfo work together again (cf: 20050122).
7144	+ fixes to allow building traces into libtinfo
7145	+ add debug trace to tic that shows if/how ncurses will write to the
7146	  lower corner of a terminal's screen.
7147	+ update llib-l* files.
7148
714920050813
7150	+ modify initializers in c++ binding to build with old versions of g++.
7151	+ improve special case for 20050115 repainting fix, ensuring that if
7152	  the first changed cell is not a character that the range to be
7153	  repainted is adjusted to start at a character's beginning (Debian
7154	  #316663).
7155
715620050806
7157	+ fixes to build on QNX 6.1
7158	+ improve configure script checks for Intel 9.0 compiler.
7159	+ remove #include's for libc.h (obsolete).
7160	+ adjust ifdef's in curses.priv.h so that when cross-compiling to
7161	  produce comp_hash and make_keys, no dependency on wchar.h is needed.
7162	  That simplifies the build-cppflags (report by Frank van Vugt).
7163	+ move modules related to key-binding into libtinfo to fix linkage
7164	  problem caused by 20050430 changes to MKkeyname.sh (report by
7165	  Konstantin Andreev).
7166
716720050723
7168	+ updates/fixes for configure script macros from vile -TD
7169	+ make prism9's sgr string agree with the rest of the terminfo -TD
7170	+ make vt220's sgr0 string consistent with sgr string, do this for
7171	  several related cases -TD
7172	+ improve translation to termcap by filtering the 'me' (sgr0) strings
7173	  as in the runtime call to tgetent() (prompted by a discussion with
7174	  Thomas Klausner).
7175	+ improve tic check for sgr0 versus sgr(0), to help ensure that sgr0
7176	  resets line-drawing.
7177
717820050716
7179	+ fix special cases for trimming sgr0 for hurd and vt220 (Debian
7180	  #318621).
7181	+ split-out _nc_trim_sgr0() from modifications made to tgetent(), to
7182	  allow it to be used by tic to provide information about the runtime
7183	  changes that would be made to sgr0 for termcap applications.
7184	+ modify make_sed.sh to make the group-name in the NAME section of
7185	  form/menu library manpage agree with the TITLE string when renaming
7186	  is done for Debian (Debian #78866).
7187
718820050702
7189	+ modify parameter type in c++ binding for insch() and mvwinsch() to
7190	  be consistent with underlying ncurses library (was char, is chtype).
7191	+ modify treatment of Intel compiler to allow _GNU_SOURCE to be defined
7192	  on Linux.
7193	+ improve configure check for nanosleep(), checking that it works since
7194	  some older systems such as AIX 4.3 have a nonworking version.
7195
719620050625
7197	+ update config.guess and config.sub from
7198		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
7199	+ modify misc/shlib to work in test-directory.
7200	+ suppress $suffix in misc/run_tic.sh when cross-compiling.  This
7201	  allows cross-compiles to use the host's tic program to handle the
7202	  "make install.data" step.
7203	+ improve description of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables in manpages
7204	  (prompted by report by Dave Ulrick).
7205	+ improve description of cross-compiling in INSTALL
7206	+ add NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html by Pradeep Padala
7207	  (see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/).
7208	+ modify configure script to obtain soname for GPM library (discussion
7209	  with Daniel Jacobowitz).
7210	+ modify configure script so that --with-chtype option will still
7211	  compute the unsigned literals suffix for constants in curses.h
7212	  (report by Daniel Jacobowitz:
7213	+ patches from Daniel Jacobowitz:
7214	  + the man_db.renames entry for tack.1 was backwards.
7215	  + tack.1 had some 1m's that should have been 1M's.
7216	  + the section for curs_inwstr.3 was wrong.
7217
721820050619
7219	+ correction to --with-chtype option (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
7220
722120050618
7222	+ move build-time edit_man.sh and edit_man.sed scripts to top directory
7223	  to simplify reusing them for renaming tack's manpage (prompted by a
7224	  review of Debian package).
7225	+ revert minor optimization from 20041030 (Debian #313609).
7226	+ libtool-specific fixes, tested with libtool 1.4.3, 1.5.0, 1.5.6,
7227	  1.5.10 and 1.5.18 (all work except as noted previously for the c++
7228	  install using libtool 1.5.0):
7229	  + modify the clean-rule in c++/Makefile.in to work with IRIX64 make
7230	    program.
7231	  + use $(LIBTOOL_UNINSTALL) symbol, overlooked in 20030830
7232	+ add configure options --with-chtype and --with-mmask-t, to allow
7233	  overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of the corresponding types.
7234	+ revise test for size of chtype (and mmask_t), which always returned
7235	  "long" due to an uninitialized variable (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
7236
723720050611
7238	+ change _tracef's that used "%p" format for va_list values to ignore
7239	  that, since on some platforms those are not pointers.
7240	+ fixes for long-formats in printf's due to largefile support.
7241
724220050604
7243	+ fixes for termcap support:
7244	  + reset pointer to _nc_curr_token.tk_name when the input stream is
7245	    closed, which could point to free memory (cf: 20030215).
7246	  + delink TERMTYPE data which is used by the termcap reader, so that
7247	    extended names data will be freed consistently.
7248	  + free pointer to TERMTYPE data in _nc_free_termtype() rather than
7249	    its callers.
7250	  + add some entrypoints for freeing permanently allocated data via
7251	    _nc_freeall() when NO_LEAKS is defined.
7252	+ amend 20041030 change to _nc_do_color to ensure that optimization is
7253	  applied only when the terminal supports back_color_erase (bce).
7254
725520050528
7256	+ add sun-color terminfo entry -TD
7257	+ correct a missing assignment in c++ binding's method
7258	  NCursesPanel::UserPointer() from 20050409 changes.
7259	+ improve configure check for large-files, adding check for dirent64
7260	  from vile -TD
7261	+ minor change to configure script to improve linker options for the
7262	  Ada95 tree.
7263
726420050515
7265	+ document error conditions for ncurses library functions (report by
7266	  Stanislav Ievlev).
7267	+ regenerated html documentation for ada binding.
7268	  see ftp://ftp.invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/gnathtml
7269
727020050507
7271	+ regenerated html documentation for manpages.
7272	+ add $(BUILD_EXEEXT) suffix to invocation of make_keys in
7273	  ncurses/Makefile (Gentoo #89772).
7274	+ modify c++/demo.cc to build with g++ -fno-implicit-templates option
7275	  (patch by Mike Frysinger).
7276	+ modify tic to filter out long extended names when translating to
7277	  termcap format.  Only two characters are permissible for termcap
7278	  capability names.
7279
728020050430
7281	+ modify terminfo entries xterm-new and rxvt to add strings for
7282	  shift-, control-cursor keys.
7283	+ workaround to allow c++ binding to compile with g++ 2.95.3, which
7284	  has a broken implementation of static_cast<> (patch by Jeff Chua).
7285	+ modify initialization of key lookup table so that if an extended
7286	  capability (tic -x) string is defined, and its name begins with 'k',
7287	  it will automatically be treated as a key.
7288	+ modify test/keynames.c to allow for the possibility of extended
7289	  key names, e.g., via define_key(), or via "tic -x".
7290	+ add test/demo_termcap.c to show the contents of given entry via the
7291	  termcap interface.
7292
729320050423
7294	+ minor fixes for vt100/vt52 entries -TD
7295	+ add configure option --enable-largefile
7296	+ corrected libraries used to build Ada95/gen/gen, found in testing
7297	  gcc 4.0.0.
7298
729920050416
7300	+ update config.guess, config.sub
7301	+ modify configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, disable that on
7302	  Darwin whose header files have problems (patch by Chris Zubrzycki).
7303	+ modify form library Is_Printable_String() to use iswprint() rather
7304	  than wcwidth() for determining if a character is printable.  The
7305	  latter caused it to reject menu items containing non-spacing
7306	  characters.
7307	+ modify ncurses test program's F-test to handle non-spacing characters
7308	  by combining them with a reverse-video blank.
7309	+ review/fix several gcc -Wconversion warnings.
7310
731120050409
7312	+ correct an off-by-one error in m_driver() for mouse-clicks used to
7313	  position the mouse to a particular item.
7314	+ implement test/demo_menus.c
7315	+ add some checks in lib_mouse to ensure SP is set.
7316	+ modify C++ binding to make 20050403 changes work with the configure
7317	  --enable-const option.
7318
731920050403
7320	+ modify start_color() to return ERR if it cannot allocate memory.
7321	+ address g++ compiler warnings in C++ binding by adding explicit
7322	  member initialization, assignment operators and copy constructors.
7323	  Most of the changes simply preserve the existing semantics of the
7324	  binding, which can leak memory, etc., but by making these features
7325	  visible, it provides a framework for improving the binding.
7326	+ improve C++ binding using static_cast, etc.
7327	+ modify configure script --enable-warnings to add options to g++ to
7328	  correspond to the gcc --enable-warnings.
7329	+ modify C++ binding to use some C internal functions to make it
7330	  compile properly on Solaris (and other platforms).
7331
733220050327
7333	+ amend change from 20050320 to limit it to configurations with a
7334	  valid locale.
7335	+ fix a bug introduced in 20050320 which broke the translation of
7336	  nonprinting characters to uparrow form (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
7337
733820050326
7339	+ add ifdef's for _LP64 in curses.h to avoid using wasteful 64-bits for
7340	  chtype and mmask_t, but add configure option --disable-lp64 in case
7341	  anyone used that configuration.
7342	+ update misc/shlib script to account for Mac OS X (report by Michail
7343	  Vidiassov).
7344	+ correct comparison for wrapping multibyte characters in
7345	  waddch_literal() (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
7346
734720050320
7348	+ add -c and -w options to tset to allow user to suppress ncurses'
7349	  resizing of the terminal emulator window in the special case where it
7350	  is not able to detect the true size (report by Win Delvaux, Debian
7351	  #300419).
7352	+ modify waddch_nosync() to account for locale zn_CH.GBK, which uses
7353	  codes 128-159 as part of multibyte characters (report by Wang
7354	  WenRui, Debian #300512).
7355
735620050319
7357	+ modify ncurses.c 'd' test to make it work with 88-color
7358	  configuration, i.e., by implementing scrolling.
7359	+ improve scrolling in ncurses.c 'c' and 'C' tests, e.g., for 88-color
7360	  configuration.
7361
736220050312
7363	+ change tracemunch to use strict checking.
7364	+ modify ncurses.c 'p' test to test line-drawing within a pad.
7365	+ implement environment variable NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS to support
7366	  miscellaneous terminal emulators which ignore alternate character
7367	  set escape sequences when in UTF-8 mode.
7368
736920050305
7370	+ change NCursesWindow::err_handler() to a virtual function (request by
7371	  Steve Beal).
7372	+ modify fty_int.c and fty_num.c to handle wide characters (report by
7373	  Wolfgang Gutjahr).
7374	+ adapt fix for fty_alpha.c to fty_alnum.c, which also handled normal
7375	  and wide characters inconsistently (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
7376	+ update llib-* files to reflect internal interface additions/changes.
7377
737820050226
7379	+ improve test/configure script, adding tests for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc.,
7380	  from lynx.
7381	+ add aixterm-16color terminfo entry -TD
7382	+ modified xterm-new terminfo entry to work with tgetent() changes -TD
7383	+ extended changes in tgetent() from 20040710 to allow the substring of
7384	  sgr0 which matches rmacs to be at the beginning of the sgr0 string
7385	  (request by Thomas Wolff).  Wolff says the visual effect in
7386	  combination with pre-20040710 ncurses is improved.
7387	+ fix off-by-one in winnstr() call which caused form field validation
7388	  of multibyte characters to ignore the last character in a field.
7389	+ correct logic in winsch() for inserting multibyte strings; the code
7390	  would clear cells after the insertion rather than push them to the
7391	  right (cf: 20040228).
7392	+ fix an inconsistency in Check_Alpha_Field() between normal and wide
7393	  character logic (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
7394
739520050219
7396	+ fix a bug in editing wide-characters in form library: deleting a
7397	  nonwide character modified the previous wide-character.
7398	+ update manpage to describe NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2.
7399	+ correct manpage description of mouseinterval() (Debian #280687).
7400	+ add a note to default_colors.3x explaining why this extension was
7401	  added (Debian #295083).
7402	+ add traces to panel library.
7403
740420050212
7405	+ improve editing of wide-characters in form library:  left/right
7406	  cursor movement, and single-character deletions work properly.
7407	+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM happens to be prefixed with
7408	  "xterm".  Gpm_Open() would otherwise assert that it can deal with
7409	  mouse events in this case.
7410	+ modify GPM mouse support so it closes the server connection when
7411	  the caller disables the mouse (report by Stanislav Ievlev).
7412
741320050205
7414	+ add traces for callback functions in form library.
7415	+ add experimental configure option --enable-ext-mouse, which defines
7416	  NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies the encoding of mouse events to
7417	  support wheel mice, which may transmit buttons 4 and 5.  This works
7418	  with xterm and similar X terminal emulators (prompted by question by
7419	  Andreas Henningsson, this is also related to Debian #230990).
7420	+ improve configure macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE to
7421	  avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin.
7422
742320050129
7424	+ merge remaining development changes for extended colors (mostly
7425	  complete, does not appear to break other configurations).
7426	+ add xterm-88color.dat (part of extended colors testing).
7427	+ improve _tracedump() handling of color pairs past 96.
7428	+ modify return-value from start_color() to return OK if colors have
7429	  already been started.
7430	+ modify curs_color.3x list error conditions for init_pair(),
7431	  pair_content() and color_content().
7432	+ modify pair_content() to return -1 for consistency with init_pair()
7433	  if it corresponds to the default-color.
7434	+ change internal representation of default-color to allow application
7435	  to use color number 255.  This does not affect the total number of
7436	  color pairs which are allowed.
7437	+ add a top-level tags rule.
7438
743920050122
7440	+ add a null-pointer check in wgetch() in case it is called without
7441	  first calling initscr().
7442	+ add some null-pointer checks for SP, which is not set by libtinfo.
7443	+ modify misc/shlib to ensure that absolute pathnames are used.
7444	+ modify test/Makefile.in, etc., to link test programs only against the
7445	  libraries needed, e.g., omit form/menu/panel library for the ones
7446	  that are curses-specific.
7447	+ change SP->_current_attr to a pointer, adjust ifdef's to ensure that
7448	  libtinfo.so and libtinfow.so have the same ABI.  The reason for this
7449	  is that the corresponding data which belongs to the upper-level
7450	  ncurses library has a different size in each model (report by
7451	  Stanislav Ievlev).
7452
745320050115
7454	+ minor fixes to allow test-compiles with g++.
7455	+ correct column value shown in tic's warnings, which did not account
7456	  for leading whitespace.
7457	+ add a check in _nc_trans_string() for improperly ended strings, i.e.,
7458	  where a following line begins in column 1.
7459	+ modify _nc_save_str() to return a null pointer on buffer overflow.
7460	+ improve repainting while scrolling wide-character data (Eungkyu Song).
7461
746220050108
7463	+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
7464
746520050101
7466	+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
7467	+ fix manpage typo (FreeBSD report docs/75544).
7468	+ update config.guess, config.sub
7469	> patches for configure script (Albert Chin-A-Young):
7470	+ improved fix to make mbstate_t recognized on HPUX 11i (cf:
7471	  20030705), making vsscanf() prototype visible on IRIX64.  Tested for
7472	  on HP-UX 11i, Solaris 7, 8, 9, AIX 4.3.3, 5.2, Tru64 UNIX 4.0D, 5.1,
7473	  IRIX64 6.5, Redhat Linux 7.1, 9, and RHEL 2.1, 3.0.
7474	+ print the result of the --disable-home-terminfo option.
7475	+ use -rpath when compiling with SGI C compiler.
7476
747720041225
7478	+ add trace calls to remaining public functions in form and menu
7479	  libraries.
7480	+ fix check for numeric digits in test/ncurses.c 'b' and 'B' tests.
7481	+ fix typo in test/ncurses.c 'c' test from 20041218.
7482
748320041218
7484	+ revise test/ncurses.c 'c' color test to improve use for xterm-88color
7485	  and xterm-256color, added 'C' test using the wide-character color_set
7486	  and attr_set functions.
7487
748820041211
7489	+ modify configure script to work with Intel compiler.
7490	+ fix an limit-check in wadd_wchnstr() which caused labels in the
7491	  forms-demo to be one character short.
7492	+ fix typo in curs_addchstr.3x (Jared Yanovich).
7493	+ add trace calls to most functions in form and menu libraries.
7494	+ update working-position for adding wide-characters when window is
7495	  scrolled (prompted by related report by Eungkyu Song).
7496
749720041204
7498	+ replace some references on Linux to wcrtomb() which use it to obtain
7499	  the length of a multibyte string with _nc_wcrtomb, since wcrtomb() is
7500	  broken in glibc (see Debian #284260).
7501	+ corrected length-computation in wide-character support for
7502	  field_buffer().
7503	+ some fixes to frm_driver.c to allow it to accept multibyte input.
7504	+ modify configure script to work with Intel 8.0 compiler.
7505
750620041127
7507	+ amend change to setupterm() in 20030405 which would reuse the value
7508	  of cur_term if the same output was selected.  This now reuses it only
7509	  when setupterm() is called from tgetent(), which has no notion of
7510	  separate SCREENs.  Note that tgetent() must be called after initscr()
7511	  or newterm() to use this feature (Redhat #140326).
7512	+ add a check in CF_BUILD_CC macro to ensure that developer has given
7513	  the --with-build-cc option when cross-compiling (report by Alexandre
7514	  Campo).
7515	+ improved configure script checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE and
7516	  _POSIX_C_SOURCE (fix for IRIX 5.3 from Georg Schwarz, _POSIX_C_SOURCE
7517	  updates from lynx).
7518	+ cosmetic fix to test/gdc.c to recolor the bottom edge of the box
7519	  for consistency (comment by Dan Nelson).
7520
752120041120
7522	+ update wsvt25 terminfo entry -TD
7523	+ modify test/ins_wide.c to test all flavors of ins_wstr().
7524	+ ignore filler-cells in wadd_wchnstr() when adding a cchar_t array
7525	  which consists of multi-column characters, since this function
7526	  constructs them (cf: 20041023).
7527	+ modify winnstr() to return multibyte character strings for the
7528	  wide-character configuration.
7529
753020041106
7531	+ fixes to make slk_set() and slk_wset() accept and store multibyte
7532	  or multicolumn characters.
7533
753420041030
7535	+ improve color optimization a little by making _nc_do_color() check
7536	  if the old/new pairs are equivalent to the default pair 0.
7537	+ modify assume_default_colors() to not require that
7538	  use_default_colors() be called first.
7539
754020041023
7541	+ modify term_attrs() to use termattrs(), add the extended attributes
7542	  such as enter_horizontal_hl_mode for WA_HORIZONTAL to term_attrs().
7543	+ add logic in waddch_literal() to clear orphaned cells when one
7544	  multi-column character partly overwrites another.
7545	+ improved logic for clearing cells when a multi-column character
7546	  must be wrapped to a new line.
7547	+ revise storage of cells for multi-column characters to correct a
7548	  problem with repainting.  In the old scheme, it was possible for
7549	  doupdate() to decide that only part of a multi-column character
7550	  should be repainted since the filler cells stored only an attribute
7551	  to denote them as fillers, rather than the character value and the
7552	  attribute.
7553
755420041016
7555	+ minor fixes for traces.
7556	+ add SP->_screen_acs_map[], used to ensure that mapping of missing
7557	  line-drawing characters is handled properly.  For example, ACS_DARROW
7558	  is absent from xterm-new, and it was coincidentally displayed the
7559	  same as ACS_BTEE.
7560
756120041009
7562	+ amend 20021221 workaround for broken acs to reset the sgr, rmacs
7563	  and smacs strings as well.  Also modify the check for screen's
7564	  limitations in that area to allow the multi-character shift-in
7565	  and shift-out which seem to work.
7566	+ change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it dynamically
7567	  at runtime (Debian #110586).
7568
756920041002
7570	+ correct logic for color pair in setcchar() and getcchar() (patch by
7571	  Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
7572	+ add t/T commands to ncurses b/B tests to allow a different color to
7573	  be tested for the attrset part of the test than is used in the
7574	  background color.
7575
757620040925
7577	+ fix to make setcchar() to work when its wchar_t* parameter is
7578	  pointing to a string which contains more data than can be converted.
7579	+ modify wget_wstr() and example in ncurses.c to work if wchar_t and
7580	  wint_t are different sizes (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
7581
758220040918
7583	+ remove check in wget_wch() added to fix an infinite loop, appears to
7584	  have been working around a transitory glibc bug, and interferes
7585	  with normal operation (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
7586	+ correct wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not pass the rendition
7587	  information (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
7588	+ fix aclocal.m4 so that the wide-character version of ncurses gets
7589	  compiled as libncursesw.5.dylib, instead of libncurses.5w.dylib
7590	  (adapted from patch by James J Ramsey).
7591	+ change configure script for --with-caps option to indicate that it
7592	  is no longer experimental.
7593	+ change configure script to reflect the fact that --enable-widec has
7594	  not been "experimental" since 5.3 (report by Bruno Lustosa).
7595
759620040911
7597	+ add 'B' test to ncurses.c, to exercise some wide-character functions.
7598
759920040828
7600	+ modify infocmp -i option to match 8-bit controls against its table
7601	  entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry.
7602	+ add morphos terminfo entry, improve amiga-8bit entry (Pavel Fedin).
7603	+ correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap, e.g.,
7604	  using "tic -C" (Redhat #130921).
7605	+ modified configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to ensure that if
7606	  it defines _POSIX_C_SOURCE, that it defines it to a specific value
7607	  (comp.os.stratus newsgroup comment).
7608
760920040821
7610	+ fixes to build with Ada95 binding with gnat 3.4 (all warnings are
7611	  fatal, and gnat does not follow the guidelines for pragmas).
7612	  However that did find a coding error in Assume_Default_Colors().
7613	+ modify several terminfo entries to ensure xterm mouse and cursor
7614	  visibility are reset in rs2 string:  hurd, putty, gnome,
7615	  konsole-base, mlterm, Eterm, screen (Debian #265784, Debian #55637).
7616	  The xterm entries are left alone - old ones for compatibility, and
7617	  the new ones do not require this change. -TD
7618
761920040814
7620	+ fake a SIGWINCH in newterm() to accommodate buggy terminal emulators
7621	  and window managers (Debian #265631).
7622	> terminfo updates -TD
7623	+ remove dch/dch1 from rxvt because they are implemented inconsistently
7624	  with the common usage of bce/ech
7625	+ remove khome from vt220 (vt220's have no home key)
7626	+ add rxvt+pcfkeys
7627
762820040807
7629	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test, adding v/V toggles to cycle through
7630	  combinations of video attributes so that for instance bold and
7631	  underline can be tested.  This made the legend too crowded, added
7632	  a help window as well.
7633	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test to cycle through default colors if
7634	  the -d option is set.
7635	+ update putty terminfo entry (Robert de Bath).
7636
763720040731
7638	+ modify test/cardfile.c to allow it to read more data than can be
7639	  displayed.
7640	+ correct logic in resizeterm.c which kept it from processing all
7641	  levels of window hierarchy (reports by Folkert van Heusden,
7642	  Chris Share).
7643
764420040724
7645	+ modify "tic -cv" to ignore delays when comparing strings.  Also
7646	  modify it to ignore a canceled sgr string, e.g., for terminals which
7647	  cannot properly combine attributes in one control sequence.
7648	+ corrections for gnome and konsole entries (Redhat #122815, patch by
7649	  Hans de Goede)
7650	> terminfo updates -TD
7651	+ make ncsa-m rmacs/smacs consistent with sgr
7652	+ add sgr, rc/sc and ech to syscons entries
7653	+ add function-keys to decansi
7654	+ add sgr to mterm-ansi
7655	+ add sgr, civis, cnorm to emu
7656	+ correct/simplify cup in addrinfo
7657
765820040717
7659	> terminfo updates -TD
7660	+ add xterm-pc-fkeys
7661	+ review/update gnome and gnome-rh90 entries (prompted by Redhat
7662	  #122815).
7663	+ review/update konsole entries
7664	+ add sgr, correct sgr0 for kterm and mlterm
7665	+ correct tsl string in kterm
7666
766720040711
7668	+ add configure option --without-xterm-new
7669
767020040710
7671	+ add check in wget_wch() for printable bytes that are not part of a
7672	  multibyte character.
7673	+ modify wadd_wchnstr() to render text using window's background
7674	  attributes.
7675	+ improve tic's check to compare sgr and sgr0.
7676	+ fix c++ directory's .cc.i rule.
7677	+ modify logic in tgetent() which adjusts the termcap "me" string
7678	  to work with ISO-2022 string used in xterm-new (cf: 20010908).
7679	+ modify tic's check for conflicting function keys to omit that if
7680	  converting termcap to termcap format.
7681	+ add -U option to tic and infocmp.
7682	+ add rmam/smam to linux terminfo entry (Trevor Van Bremen)
7683	> terminfo updates -TD
7684	+ minor fixes for emu
7685	+ add emu-220
7686	+ change wyse acsc strings to use 'i' map rather than 'I'
7687	+ fixes for avatar0
7688	+ fixes for vp3a+
7689
769020040703
7691	+ use tic -x to install terminfo database -TD
7692	+ add -x to infocmp's usage message.
7693	+ correct field used for comparing O_ROWMAJOR in set_menu_format()
7694	  (report/patch by Tony Li).
7695	+ fix a missing nul check in set_field_buffer() from 20040508 changes.
7696	> terminfo updates -TD
7697	  + make xterm-xf86-v43 derived from xterm-xf86-v40 rather than
7698	    xterm-basic -TD
7699	  + align with xterm patch #192's use of xterm-new -TD
7700	  + update xterm-new and xterm-8bit for cvvis/cnorm strings -TD
7701	  + make xterm-new the default "xterm" entry -TD
7702
770320040626
7704	+ correct BUILD_CPPFLAGS substitution in ncurses/Makefile.in, to allow
7705	  cross-compiling from a separate directory tree (report/patch by
7706	  Dan Engel).
7707	+ modify is_term_resized() to ensure that window sizes are nonzero,
7708	  as documented in the manpage (report by Ian Collier).
7709	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro to make Hurd port build
7710	  (Debian #249214, report/patch by Jeff Bailey).
7711	+ configure-script mods from xterm, e.g., updates to CF_ADD_CFLAGS
7712	+ update config.guess, config.sub
7713	> terminfo updates -TD
7714	  + add mlterm
7715	  + add xterm-xf86-v44
7716	  + modify xterm-new aka xterm-xfree86 to accommodate luit, which
7717	    relies on G1 being used via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (report by
7718	    Juliusz Chroboczek)
7719	  + add 'hurd' entry
7720
772120040619
7722	+ reconsidered winsnstr(), decided after comparing other
7723	  implementations that wrapping is an X/Open documentation error.
7724	+ modify test/inserts.c to test all flavors of insstr().
7725
772620040605
7727	+ add setlocale() calls to a few test programs which may require it:
7728	  demo_forms.c, filter.c, ins_wide.c, inserts.c
7729	+ correct a few misspelled function names in ncurses-intro.html (report
7730	  by Tony Li).
7731	+ correct internal name of key_defined() manpage, which conflicted with
7732	  define_key().
7733
773420040529
7735	+ correct size of internal pad used for holding wide-character
7736	  field_buffer() results.
7737	+ modify data_ahead() to work with wide-characters.
7738
773920040522
7740	+ improve description of terminfo if-then-else expressions (suggested
7741	  by Arne Thomassen).
7742	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'd' test, allow it to use external file for
7743	  initial palette (added xterm-16color.dat and linux-color.dat), and
7744	  reset colors to the initial palette when starting/ending the test.
7745	+ change limit-check in init_color() to allow r/g/b component to
7746	  reach 1000 (cf: 20020928).
7747
774820040516
7749	+ modify form library to use cchar_t's rather than char's in the
7750	  wide-character configuration for storing data for field buffers.
7751	+ correct logic of win_wchnstr(), which did not work for more than
7752	  one cell.
7753
775420040508
7755	+ replace memset/memcpy usage in form library with for-loops to
7756	  simplify changing the datatype of FIELD.buf, part of wide-character
7757	  changes.
7758	+ fix some inconsistent use of #if/#ifdef (report by Alain Guibert).
7759
776020040501
7761	+ modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by
7762	  multibyte character strings, in the wide-character configuration
7763	  (adapted from patch by Philipp Tomsich).
7764	+ add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F"
7765	  comparisons.  This modifies infocmp to only report extended
7766	  capabilities if the -x option is given, making this more consistent
7767	  with tic.  Some scripts may break, since infocmp previous gave this
7768	  information without an option.
7769	+ modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the beginning
7770	  of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic.
7771
777220040424
7773	+ minor compiler-warning and test-program fixes.
7774
777520040417
7776	+ modify tic's missing-sgr warning to apply to terminfo only.
7777	+ free some memory leaks in tic.
7778	+ remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending
7779	  beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner).
7780	+ remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
7781	  that extend beyond the screen.  Solaris curses does this.
7782	+ add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older
7783	  curses.
7784	+ add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog.
7785
778620040403
7787	+ modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond
7788	  to an unsigned char.
7789	+ add some limit-checks to guard isprint(), etc., from being used on
7790	  values that do not fit into an unsigned char (report by Sami Farin).
7791
779220040328
7793	+ fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change.
7794
779520040327
7796	+ modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's
7797	  current locale rather than using getenv().  This fixes a case in tin
7798	  which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale
7799	  is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen).
7800	+ add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD.
7801	+ add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr
7802	  string.  This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with
7803	  color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places.
7804	+ correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the
7805	  original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before
7806	  20030802 (Debian #237629).
7807
780820040320
7809	+ modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of
7810	  A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from
7811	  being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the
7812	  raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879).
7813
781420040313
7815	+ fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report
7816	  by Jim Idle).
7817	+ remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses
7818	  some apropos script (Debian #237831).
7819
782020040306
7821	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text,
7822	  set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing
7823	  mode is shown in that test.
7824	+ change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake.
7825	+ correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which
7826	  did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419).
7827
782820040228
7829	+ modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a
7830	  multibyte string.
7831	+ split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it.  X/Open states
7832	  that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other
7833	  insert-functions.  Currently it does not wrap.
7834	+ check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by
7835	  Stanislav Ievlev).
7836	+ split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first.
7837	+ fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC,
7838	  which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report
7839	  by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev).
7840
784120040221
7842	+ some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete
7843	  (request by Mike Aubury).
7844	+ add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of
7845	  stdbool.h, e.g.,
7846		#define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0
7847		#include <curses.h>
7848	  (discussion on XFree86 mailing list).
7849
785020040214
7851	+ modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets
7852	  the name of the terminfo library.  This would allow a packager to
7853	  build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion
7854	  with Stanislav Ievlev).
7855	+ improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and
7856	  $(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew).
7857	+ add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename
7858	  its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to
7859	  ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory
7860	  (prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs).
7861
786220040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
7863	+ update TO-DO.
7864
786520040207 pre-release
7866	+ minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param,
7867	  and do not count %d if it follows a %p.
7868	+ correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255
7869	  range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests.  In POSIX
7870	  locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former
7871	  did.
7872	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac
7873	  OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix
7874	  verified by Scott Corscadden).
7875
787620040131 pre-release
7877	+ modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors
7878	  to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo
7879	  (patch by Stanislav Ievlev).
7880	+ document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage.
7881	+ document special features of unctrl() in manpage.
7882	+ documented interface changes in INSTALL.
7883	+ corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale
7884	  (Debian #230335, cf: 971206).
7885	+ updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
7886	+ fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package.
7887	+ minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5.
7888
788920040125 pre-release
7890	+ amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number
7891	  of cells for a possibly multi-cell character.  The 20030614 change
7892	  forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not
7893	  greater than zero.  However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the
7894	  range 128-255 can give this return value.  The logic now simply
7895	  ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without
7896	  modifying the displayed value.
7897
789820040124 pre-release
7899	+ looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above)
7900	+ modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since
7901	  that works better for cross-compiling.
7902
790320040117 pre-release
7904	+ modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
7905	  work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
7906	  zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
7907	+ add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
7908	  to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
7909	+ add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
7910	+ add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
7911	  Bianchi).
7912	+ modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
7913	  (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz (see Debian
7914	  #227586)).
7915	+ correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
7916	  exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss (see Debian #224443)).
7917	+ modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
7918	+ remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
7919	+ make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
7920	+ improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
7921	  CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
7922	+ add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
7923	  simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
7924	+ add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
7925	  patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
7926	+ fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
7927	  HPUX .so/.sl case.
7928	+ resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
7929	  NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
7930	+ make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
7931	  will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
7932	+ rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool.  The
7933	  intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
7934	  compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
7935	  does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).
7936
793720040110 pre-release
7938	+ change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4
7939	+ revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W
7940	  Sittler).
7941	+ simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the
7942	  configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav
7943	  Ievlev).
7944	+ remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav
7945	  Ievlev).
7946	+ modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs
7947	  such as tic are not linked with the upper-level ncurses library
7948	  (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
7949	+ move version.c from ncurses/base to ncurses/tinfo to allow linking
7950	  of tic, etc., using libtinfo (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
7951
795220040103
7953	+ adjust -D's to build ncursesw on OpenBSD.
7954	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT to make OS/2 build with EXEEXT.
7955	+ add pecho_wchar().
7956	+ remove <wctype.h> include from lib_slk_wset.c which is not needed (or
7957	  available) on older platforms.
7958
795920031227
7960	+ add -D's to build ncursew on FreeBSD 5.1.
7961	+ modify shared library configuration for FreeBSD 4.x/5.x to add the
7962	  soname information (request by Marc Glisse).
7963	+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() to not use MAX_ALIAS, but PATH_MAX only
7964	  for limiting the length of a filename in the terminfo database.
7965	+ modify termname() to return the terminal name used by setupterm()
7966	  rather than $TERM, without truncating to 14 characters as documented
7967	  by X/Open (report by Stanislav Ievlev, cf:  970719).
7968	+ re-add definition for _BSD_TYPES, lost in merge (cf: 20031206).
7969
797020031220
7971	+ add configure option --with-manpage-format=catonly to address
7972	  behavior of BSDI, allow install of man+cat files on NetBSD, whose
7973	  behavior has diverged by requiring both to be present.
7974	+ remove leading blanks from comment-lines in manlinks.sed script to
7975	  work with Tru64 4.0d.
7976	+ add screen.linux terminfo entry (discussion on mutt-users mailing
7977	  list).
7978
797920031213
7980	+ add a check for tic to flag missing backslashes for termcap
7981	  continuation lines.  ncurses reads the whole entry, but termcap
7982	  applications do not.
7983	+ add configure option "--with-manpage-aliases" extending
7984	  "--with-manpage-aliases" to provide the option of generating ".so"
7985	  files rather than symbolic links for manpage aliases.
7986	+ add bool definition in include/curses.h.in for configurations with no
7987	  usable C++ compiler (cf: 20030607).
7988	+ fix pathname of SigAction.h for building with --srcdir (reported by
7989	  Mike Castle).
7990
799120031206
7992	+ folded ncurses/base/sigaction.c into includes of ncurses/SigAction.h,
7993	  since that header is used only within ncurses/tty/lib_tstp.c, for
7994	  non-POSIX systems (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev).
7995	+ remove obsolete _nc_outstr() function (report by Stanislav Ievlev
7996	  <inger@altlinux.org>).
7997	+ add test/background.c and test/color_set.c
7998	+ modify color_set() function to work with color pair 0 (report by
7999	  George Andreou <gbandreo@tem.uoc.gr>).
8000	+ add configure option --with-trace, since defining TRACE seems too
8001	  awkward for some cases.
8002	+ remove a call to _nc_free_termtype() from read_termtype(), since the
8003	  corresponding buffer contents were already zeroed by a memset (cf:
8004	  20000101).
8005	+ improve configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and related definitions,
8006	  adding special cases for Solaris' __EXTENSIONS__ and FreeBSD's
8007	  __BSD_TYPES (reports by Marc Glisse <marc.glisse@normalesup.org>).
8008	+ small fixes to compile on Solaris and IRIX64 using cc.
8009	+ correct typo in check for pre-POSIX sort options in MKkey_defs.sh
8010	  (cf: 20031101).
8011
801220031129
8013	+ modify _nc_gettime() to avoid a problem with arithmetic on unsigned
8014	  values (Philippe Blain).
8015	+ improve the nanosleep() logic in napms() by checking for EINTR and
8016	  restarting (Philippe Blain).
8017	+ correct expression for "%D" in lib_tgoto.c (Juha Jarvi
8018	  <mooz@welho.com>).
8019
802020031122
8021	+ add linux-vt terminfo entry (Andrey V Lukyanov <land@long.yar.ru>).
8022	+ allow "\|" escape in terminfo; tic should not warn about this.
8023	+ save the full pathname of the trace-file the first time it is opened,
8024	  to avoid creating it in different directories if the application
8025	  opens and closes it while changing its working directory.
8026	+ modify configure script to provide a non-empty default for
8027	  $BROKEN_LINKER
8028
802920031108
8030	+ add DJGPP to special case of DOS-style drive letters potentially
8031	  appearing in TERMCAP environment variable.
8032	+ fix some spelling in comments (reports by Jason McIntyre, Jonathon
8033	  Gray).
8034	+ update config.guess, config.sub
8035
803620031101
8037	+ fix a memory leak in error-return from setupterm() (report by
8038	  Stanislav Ievlev <inger@altlinux.org>).
8039	+ use EXEEXT and OBJEXT consistently in makefiles.
8040	+ amend fixes for cross-compiling to use separate executable-suffix
8041	  BUILD_EXEEXT (cf: 20031018).
8042	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for sort utility that does not
8043	  recognize key options, e.g., busybox (report by Peter S Mazinger
8044	  <ps.m@gmx.net>).
8045	+ fix potential out-of-bounds indexing in _nc_infotocap() (found by
8046	  David Krause using some of the new malloc debugging features
8047	  under OpenBSD, patch by Ted Unangst).
8048	+ modify CF_LIB_SUFFIX for Itanium releases of HP-UX, which use a
8049	  ".so" suffix (patch by Jonathan Ward <Jonathan.Ward@hp.com>).
8050
805120031025
8052	+ update terminfo for xterm-xfree86 -TD
8053	+ add check for multiple "tc=" clauses in a termcap to tic.
8054	+ check for missing op/oc in tic.
8055	+ correct _nc_resolve_uses() and _nc_merge_entry() to allow infocmp and
8056	  tic to show cancelled capabilities.  These functions were ignoring
8057	  the state of the target entry, which should be untouched if cancelled.
8058	+ correct comment in tack/output.c (Debian #215806).
8059	+ add some null-pointer checks to lib_options.c (report by Michael
8060	  Bienia).
8061	+ regenerated html documentation.
8062	+ correction to tar-copy.sh, remove a trap command that resulted in
8063	  leaving temporary files (cf: 20030510).
8064	+ remove contact/maintainer addresses for Juergen Pfeifer (his request).
8065
806620031018
8067	+ updated test/configure to reflect changes for libtool (cf: 20030830).
8068	+ fix several places in tack/pad.c which tested and used the parameter-
8069	  and parameterless strings inconsistently, i.e., in pad_rin(),
8070	  pad_il(), pad_indn() and pad_dl() (Debian #215805).
8071	+ minor fixes for configure script and makefiles to cleanup executables
8072	  generated when cross-compiling for DJGPP.
8073	+ modify infocmp to omit check for $TERM for operations that do not
8074	  require it, e.g., "infocmp -e" used to build fallback list (report by
8075	  Egmont Koblinger).
8076
807720031004
8078	+ add terminfo entries for DJGPP.
8079	+ updated note about maintainer in ncurses-intro.html
8080
808120030927
8082	+ update terminfo entries for gnome terminal.
8083	+ modify tack to reset colors after each color test, correct a place
8084	  where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode.
8085	+ improve tack's bce test by making it set colors other than black
8086	  on white.
8087	+ plug a potential recursion between napms() and _nc_timed_wait()
8088	  (report by Philippe Blain).
8089
809020030920
8091	+ add --with-rel-version option to allow workaround to allow making
8092	  libtool on Darwin generate the "same" library names as with the
8093	  --with-shared option.  The Darwin ld program does not work well
8094	  with a zero as the minor-version value (request by Chris Zubrzycki).
8095	+ modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro to work with cross-compiling.
8096	+ modify tack to allow it to run from fallback terminfo data.
8097	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8098	+ improve PutRange() by adjusting call to EmitRange() and corresponding
8099	  return-value to not emit unchanged characters on the end of the
8100	  range.
8101	+ improve a check for changed-attribute by exiting a loop when the
8102	  change is found.
8103	+ improve logic in TransformLine(), eliminating a duplicated comparison
8104	  in the clr_bol logic.
8105
810620030913
8107	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8108	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
8109	  move the label 'nonlocal' just before the second gettimeofday() to
8110	  be able to compute the diff time when 'goto nonlocal' used.
8111	  Rename 'msec' to 'microsec' in the debug-message.
8112	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
8113	  Use _nc_outch() in carriage return/newline movement instead of
8114	  putchar() which goes to stdout.  Move test for xold>0 out of loop.
8115	+ in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c,
8116	  Set the flag SP->_buffered at the end of operations when all has been
8117	  successful (typeMalloc can fail).
8118	+ simplify NC_BUFFERED macro by moving check inside _nc_setbuf().
8119
812020030906
8121	+ modify configure script to avoid using "head -1", which does not
8122	  work if POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set.
8123	+ modify run_tic.in to avoid using wrong shared libraries when
8124	  cross-compiling (Dan Kegel).
8125
812620030830
8127	+ alter configure script help message to make it clearer that
8128	  --with-build-cc does not specify a cross-compiler (suggested by Dan
8129	  Kegel <dank@kegel.com>).
8130	+ modify configure script to accommodate libtool 1.5, as well as add an
8131	  parameter to the "--with-libtool" option which can specify the
8132	  pathname of libtool (report by Chris Zubrzycki).  We note that
8133	  libtool 1.5 has more than one bug in its C++ support, so it is not
8134	  able to install libncurses++, for instance, if $DESTDIR or the option
8135	  --with-install-prefix is used.
8136
813720030823
8138	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8139	+ move assignments to SP->_cursrow, SP->_curscol into online_mvcur().
8140	+ make baudrate computation in delay_output() consistent with the
8141	  assumption in _nc_mvcur_init(), i.e., a byte is 9 bits.
8142
814320030816
8144	+ modify logic in waddch_literal() to take into account zh_TW.Big5
8145	  whose multibyte sequences may contain "printable" characters, e.g.,
8146	  a "g" in the sequence "\247g" (Debian #204889, cf: 20030621).
8147	+ improve storage used by _nc_safe_strcpy() by ensuring that the size
8148	  is reset based on the initialization call, in case it were called
8149	  after other strcpy/strcat calls (report by Philippe Blain).
8150	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8151	+ remove an unused ifdef for REAL_ATTR & WANT_CHAR
8152	+ correct a place where _cup_cost was used rather than _cuu_cost
8153
815420030809
8155	+ fix a small memory leak in _nc_free_termtype().
8156	+ close trace-file if trace() is called with a zero parameter.
8157	+ free memory allocated for soft-key strings, in delscreen().
8158	+ fix an allocation size in safe_sprintf.c for the "*" format code.
8159	+ correct safe_sprintf.c to not return a null pointer if the format
8160	  happens to be an empty string.  This applies to the "configure
8161	  --enable-safe-sprintf" option (Redhat #101486).
8162
816320030802
8164	+ modify casts used for ABSENT_BOOLEAN and CANCELLED_BOOLEAN (report by
8165	  Daniel Jacobowitz).
8166	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8167	+ change padding for change_scroll_region to not be proportional to
8168	  the size of the scroll-region.
8169	+ correct error-return in _nc_safe_strcat().
8170
817120030726
8172	+ correct limit-checks in _nc_scroll_window() (report and test-case by
8173	  Thomas Graf <graf@dms.at> cf: 20011020).
8174	+ re-order configure checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE to avoid conflict with
8175	  _GNU_SOURCE check.
8176
817720030719
8178	+ use clr_eol in preference to blanks for bce terminals, so select and
8179	  paste will have fewer trailing blanks, e.g., when using xterm
8180	  (request by Vincent Lefevre).
8181	+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
8182	+ add configure --with-abi-version option (discussion with Charles
8183	  Wilson).
8184	> cygwin changes from Charles Wilson:
8185	  + aclocal.m4: on cygwin, use autodetected prefix for import
8186	    and static lib, but use "cyg" for DLL.
8187	  + include/ncurses_dll.h: correct the comments to reflect current
8188	    status of cygwin/mingw port.  Fix compiler warning.
8189	  + misc/run_tic.in: ensure that tic.exe can find the uninstalled
8190	    DLL, by adding the lib-directory to the PATH variable.
8191	  + misc/terminfo.src (nxterm|xterm-color): make xterm-color
8192	    primary instead of nxterm, to match XFree86's xterm.terminfo
8193	    usage and to prevent circular links.
8194	    (rxvt): add additional codes from rxvt.org.
8195	    (rxvt-color): new alias
8196	    (rxvt-xpm): new alias
8197	    (rxvt-cygwin): like rxvt, but with special acsc codes.
8198	    (rxvt-cygwin-native): ditto.  rxvt may be run under XWindows, or
8199	    with a "native" MSWin GUI.	Each takes different acsc codes,
8200	    which are both different from the "normal" rxvt's acsc.
8201	    (cygwin): cygwin-in-cmd.exe window.	 Lots of fixes.
8202	    (cygwinDBG): ditto.
8203	  + mk-1st.awk: use "cyg" for the DLL prefix, but "lib" for import
8204	    and static libs.
8205
820620030712
8207	+ update config.guess, config.sub
8208	+ add triples for configuring shared libraries with the Debian
8209	  GNU/FreeBSD packages (patch by Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>).
8210
821120030705
8212	+ modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS so it only applies to gcc, not g++.  Some
8213	  platforms have installed g++ along with the native C compiler, which
8214	  would not accept gcc warning options.
8215	+ add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 when configuring with --enable-widec, to
8216	  get mbstate_t declaration on HPUX 11.11 (report by David Ellement).
8217	+ add _nc_pathlast() to get rid of casts in _nc_basename() calls.
8218	+ correct a sign-extension in wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() from
8219	  20030628 (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
8220	+ work around omission of btowc() and wctob() from wide-character
8221	  support (sic) in NetBSD 1.6 using mbtowc() and wctomb() (report by
8222	  Gabor Z Papp).
8223	+ add portability note to curs_get_wstr.3x (Debian #199957).
8224
822520030628
8226	+ rewrite wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to call waddch() and wechochar()
8227	  respectively, to avoid calling waddch_noecho() with wide-character
8228	  data, since that function assumes its input is 8-bit data.
8229	  Similarly, modify waddnwstr() to call wadd_wch().
8230	+ remove logic from waddnstr() which transformed multibyte character
8231	  strings into wide-characters.  Rewrite of waddch_literal() from
8232	  20030621 assumes its input is raw multibyte data rather than wide
8233	  characters (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
8234
823520030621
8236	+ write getyx() and related 2-return macros in terms of getcury(),
8237	  getcurx(), etc.
8238	+ modify waddch_literal() in case an application passes bytes of a
8239	  multibyte character directly to waddch().  In this case, waddch()
8240	  must reassemble the bytes into a wide-character (report by Tomohiro
8241	  Kubota <kubota@debian.org>).
8242
824320030614
8244	+ modify waddch_literal() in case a multibyte value occupies more than
8245	  two cells.
8246	+ modify PutAttrChar() to compute the number of character cells that
8247	  are used in multibyte values.  This fixes a problem displaying
8248	  double-width characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen
8249	  <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
8250	+ add a null-pointer check for result of keyname() in _tracechar()
8251	+ modify _tracechar() to work around glibc sprintf bug.
8252
825320030607
8254	+ add a call to setlocale() in cursesmain.cc, making demo display
8255	  properly in a UTF-8 locale.
8256	+ add a fallback definition in curses.priv.h for MB_LEN_MAX (prompted
8257	  by discussion with Gabor Z Papp).
8258	+ use macros NCURSES_ACS() and NCURSES_WACS() to hide cast needed to
8259	  appease -Wchar-subscript with g++ 3.3 (Debian #195732).
8260	+ fix a redefinition of $RANLIB in the configure script when libtool
8261	  is used, which broke configure on Mac OS X (report by Chris Zubrzycki
8262	  <beren@mac.com>).
8263	+ simplify ifdef for bool declaration in curses.h.in (suggested by
8264	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
8265	+ remove configure script check to allow -Wconversion for older
8266	  versions of gcc (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young).
8267
826820030531
8269	+ regenerated html manpages.
8270	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in that disabled use of __attribute__()
8271	  for g++, since recent versions implement the cases which ncurses uses
8272	  (Debian #195230).
8273	+ modify _nc_get_token() to handle a case where an entry has no
8274	  description, and capabilities begin on the same line as the entry
8275	  name.
8276	+ fix a typo in ncurses_dll.h reported by gcc 3.3.
8277	+ add an entry for key_defined.3x to man_db.renames.
8278
827920030524
8280	+ modify setcchar() to allow converting control characters to complex
8281	  characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
8282	+ add tkterm entry -TD
8283	+ modify parse_entry.c to allow a terminfo entry with a leading
8284	  2-character name (report by Don Libes).
8285	+ corrected acsc in screen.teraterm, which requires a PC-style mapping.
8286	+ fix trace statements in read_entry.c to use lseek() rather than
8287	  tell().
8288	+ fix signed/unsigned warnings from Sun's compiler (gcc should give
8289	  these warnings, but it is unpredictable).
8290	+ modify configure script to omit -Winline for gcc 3.3, since that
8291	  feature is broken.
8292	+ modify manlinks.sed to add a few functions that were overlooked since
8293	  they return function pointers:  field_init, field_term, form_init,
8294	  form_term, item_init, item_term, menu_init and menu_term.
8295
829620030517
8297	+ prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot
8298	  be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report
8299	  by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.com>).
8300	+ change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted
8301	  by Debian #192860).
8302	+ add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there
8303	  are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the
8304	  current test programs.
8305	+ corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not
8306	  convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it.
8307	+ corrections to lib_get_wstr.c:
8308	  + null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally
8309	    failed.
8310	  + map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into
8311	    key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not
8312	    mentioned in the terminfo.
8313	+ modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line
8314	  drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221).
8315
831620030510
8317	+ make typography for program options in manpages consistent (report
8318	  by Miloslav Trmac <mitr@volny.cz>).
8319	+ correct dependencies in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, so the builds with
8320	  "--srcdir" work (report by Warren L Dodge).
8321	+ correct missing definition of $(CC) in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in
8322	  (reported by Warren L Dodge <warrend@mdhost.cse.tek.com>).
8323	+ fix typos and whitespace in manpages (patch by Jason McIntyre
8324	  <jmc@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl>).
8325
832620030503
8327	+ fix form_driver() cases for REQ_CLR_EOF, REQ_CLR_EOL, REQ_DEL_CHAR,
8328	  REQ_DEL_PREV and REQ_NEW_LINE, which did not ensure the cursor was at
8329	  the editing position before making modifications.
8330	+ add test/demo_forms and associated test/edit_field.c demos.
8331	+ modify test/configure.in to use test/modules for the list of objects
8332	  to compile rather than using the list of programs.
8333
833420030419
8335	+ modify logic of acsc to use the original character if no mapping is
8336	  defined, noting that Solaris does this.
8337	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to avoid using the acs_map[] array since
8338	  20021231 changes it to no longer contain information from the acsc
8339	  string.
8340	+ modify makefile rules in c++, progs, tack and test to ensure that
8341	  the compiler flags (e.g., $CFLAGS or $CCFLAGS) are used in the link
8342	  command (report by Jose Luis Rico Botella <informatica@serpis.com>).
8343	+ modify soft-key initialization to use A_REVERSE if A_STANDOUT would
8344	  not be shown when colors are used, i.e., if ncv#1 is set in the
8345	  terminfo as is done in "screen".
8346
834720030412
8348	+ add a test for slk_color(), in ncurses.c
8349	+ fix some issues reported by valgrind in the slk_set() and slk_wset()
8350	  code, from recent rewrite.
8351	+ modify ncurses 'E' test to use show previous label via slk_label(),
8352	  as in 'e' test.
8353	+ modify wide-character versions of NewChar(), NewChar2() macros to
8354	  ensure that the whole struct is initialized.
8355
835620030405
8357	+ modify setupterm() to check if the terminfo and terminal-modes have
8358	  already been read.  This ensures that it does not reinvoke
8359	  def_prog_mode() when an application calls more than one function,
8360	  such as tgetent() and initscr() (report by Olaf Buddenhagen).
8361
836220030329
8363	+ add 'E' test to ncurses.c, to exercise slk_wset().
8364	+ correct handling of carriage-return in wgetn_wstr(), used in demo of
8365	  slk_wset().
8366	+ first draft of slk_wset() function.
8367
836820030322
8369	+ improved warnings in tic when suppressing items to fit in termcap's
8370	  1023-byte limit.
8371	+ built a list in test/README showing which externals are being used
8372	  by either programs in the test-directory or via internal library
8373	  calls.
8374	+ adjust include-options in CF_ETIP_DEFINES to avoid missing
8375	  ncurses_dll.h, fixing special definitions that may be needed for
8376	  etip.h (reported by Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>).
8377
837820030315
8379	+ minor fixes for cardfile.c, to make it write the updated fields to
8380	  a file when ^W is given.
8381	+ add/use _nc_trace_bufcat() to eliminate some fixed buffer limits in
8382	  trace code.
8383
838420030308
8385	+ correct a case in _nc_remove_string(), used by define_key(), to avoid
8386	  infinite loop if the given string happens to be a substring of other
8387	  strings which are assigned to keys (report by John McCutchan).
8388	+ add key_defined() function, to tell which keycode a string is bound
8389	  to (discussion with John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org>).
8390	+ correct keybound(), which reported definitions in the wrong table,
8391	  i.e., the list of definitions which are disabled by keyok().
8392	+ modify demo_keydef.c to show the details it changes, and to check
8393	  for errors.
8394
839520030301
8396	+ restructured test/configure script, make it work for libncursesw.
8397	+ add description of link_fieldtype() to manpage (report by
8398	  L Dee Holtsclaw <dee@sunbeltsoft.com>).
8399
840020030222
8401	+ corrected ifdef's relating to configure check for wchar_t, etc.
8402	+ if the output is a socket or other non-tty device, use 1 millisecond
8403	  for the cost in mvcur; previously it was 9 milliseconds because the
8404	  baudrate was not known.
8405	+ in _nc_get_tty_mode(), initialize the TTY buffer on error, since
8406	  glibc copies uninitialized data in that case, as noted by valgrind.
8407	+ modify tput to use the same parameter analysis as tparm() does, to
8408	  provide for user-defined strings, e.g., for xterm title, a
8409	  corresponding capability might be
8410		title=\E]2;%p1%s^G,
8411	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid passing "#" tokens through the C
8412	  preprocessor.  This works around Mac OS X's preprocessor, which
8413	  insists on adding a blank on each side of the token (report/analysis
8414	  by Kevin Murphy <murphy@genome.chop.edu>).
8415
841620030215
8417	+ add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely
8418	  on preprocessor definitions.  Also work around for gcc fixinclude
8419	  bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols
8420	  apparently typedef'd.
8421	+ if database is disabled, do not generate run_tic.sh
8422	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking when termcap is read.
8423
842420030208
8425	+ add checking in tic for incomplete line-drawing character mapping.
8426	+ updated configure script to reflect fix for AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL,
8427	  which is broken in autoconf 2.5x for Mac OS X 10.2.3 (report by
8428	  Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl>).
8429	+ make return value from _nc_printf_string() consistent.  Before,
8430	  depending on whether --enable-safe-sprintf was used, it might not be
8431	  cached for reallocating.
8432
843320030201
8434	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking in lib_tparm.c, hardscroll.c
8435	+ correct a potentially-uninitialized value if _read_termtype() does
8436	  not read as much data as expected (report by Wolfgang Rohdewald
8437	  <wr6@uni.de>).
8438	+ correct several places where the aclocal.m4 macros relied on cache
8439	  variable names which were incompatible (as usual) between autoconf
8440	  2.13 and 2.5x, causing the test for broken-linker to give incorrect
8441	  results (reports by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl> and Thomas Esser
8442	  <te@dbs.uni-hannover.de>).
8443	+ do not try to open gpm mouse driver if standard output is not a tty;
8444	  the gpm library does not make this check (bug report for dialog
8445	  by David Oliveira <davidoliveira@develop.prozone.ws>).
8446
844720030125
8448	+ modified emx.src to correspond more closely to terminfo.src, added
8449	  emx-base to the latter -TD
8450	+ add configure option for FreeBSD sysmouse, --with-sysmouse, and
8451	  implement support for that in lib_mouse.c, lib_getch.c
8452
845320030118
8454	+ revert 20030105 change to can_clear_with(), does not work for the
8455	  case where the update is made on cells which are blanks with
8456	  attributes, e.g., reverse.
8457	+ improve ifdef's to guard against redefinition of wchar_t and wint_t
8458	  in curses.h (report by Urs Jansen).
8459
846020030111
8461	+ improve mvcur() by checking if it is safe to move when video
8462	  attributes are set (msgr), and if not, reset/restore attributes
8463	  within that function rather than doing it separately in the GoTo()
8464	  function in tty_update.c (suggested by Philippe Blain).
8465	+ add a message in run_tic.in to explain more clearly what does not
8466	  work when attempting to create a symbolic link for /usr/lib/terminfo
8467	  on OS/2 and other platforms with no symbolic links (report by John
8468	  Polterak).
8469	+ change several sed scripts to avoid using "\+" since it is not a BRE
8470	  (basic regular expression).  One instance caused terminfo.5 to be
8471	  misformatted on FreeBSD (report by Kazuo Horikawa
8472	  <horikawa@FreeBSD.org> (see FreeBSD docs/46709)).
8473	+ correct misspelled 'wint_t' in curs_get_wch.3x (Michael Elkins).
8474
847520030105
8476	+ improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic
8477	  variables (comments by Mark I Manning IV <mark4th@earthlink.net>).
8478	+ demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to
8479	  use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a
8480	  specialized type for the middle initial/name.
8481	+ fix MKterminfo.sh, another workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature
8482	  of sed 4.0
8483	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8484	+ optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter
8485	  is indeed a "blank".
8486	+ simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear
8487	  sections as small as one line.
8488	+ improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying
8489	  to use it.
8490	+ use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since
8491	  the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines
8492	  affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region.
8493
849420021231
8495	+ rewrite of lib_acs.c conflicts with copying of SCREEN acs_map to/from
8496	  global acs_map[] array; removed the lines that did the copying.
8497
849820021228
8499	+ change some overlooked tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp()
8500	  (report by Philippe Blain).
8501	+ modify lib_getch.c to avoid recursion via wgetnstr() when the input
8502	  is not a tty and consequently mode-changes do not work (report by
8503	  <R.Chamberlin@querix.com>).
8504	+ rewrote lib_acs.c to allow PutAttrChar() to decide how to render
8505	  alternate-characters, i.e., to work with Linux console and UTF-8
8506	  locale.
8507	+ correct line/column reference in adjust_window(), needed to make
8508	  special windows such as curscr track properly when resizing (report
8509	  by Lucas Gonze <lgonze@panix.com>).
8510	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8511	+ correct the value used for blank in ClrBottom() (broken in 20000708).
8512	+ correct an off-by-one in GoTo() parameter in _nc_scrolln().
8513
851420021221
8515	+ change several tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp(), to
8516	  enable padding which may be needed for some terminals (patch by
8517	  Philippe Blain).
8518	+ use '%' as sed substitute delimiter in run_tic script to avoid
8519	  problems with pathname delimiters such as ':' and '@' (report by John
8520	  Polterak).
8521	+ implement a workaround so that line-drawing works with screen's
8522	  crippled UTF-8 support (tested with 3.9.13).  This only works with
8523	  the wide-character support (--enable-widec); the normal library will
8524	  simply suppress line-drawing when running in a UTF-8 locale in screen.
8525
852620021214
8527	+ allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
8528	  overridden from the environment.
8529	+ make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with
8530	  the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki).
8531	+ modify ncurses/modules to allow
8532		configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs
8533	  to build (report by Gary Samuelson).
8534	+ fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by
8535	  Gary Samuelson <gary.samuelson@verizon.com>).
8536	+ correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which
8537	  force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report
8538	  by Sam Varshavchik).
8539	+ small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which
8540	  gnatmake adds to its version-message.
8541	> Maciej W Rozycki <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>:
8542	+ use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross
8543	  compiling.
8544	+ use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
8545	  comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
8546	  traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.
8547	+ change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host"
8548	  when referring to the --with-build-XXX options.
8549
855020021206
8551	+ modify CF_GNAT_VERSION to print gnatmake's version, and to allow for
8552	  possible gnat versions such as 3.2 (report by Chris Lingard
8553	  <chris@stockwith.co.uk>).
8554	+ modify #define's for CKILL and other default control characters in
8555	  tset to use the system's default values if they are defined.
8556	+ correct interchanged defaults for kill and interrupt characters
8557	  in tset, which caused it to report unnecessarily (Debian #171583).
8558	+ repair check for missing C++ compiler, which is broken in autoconf
8559	  2.5x by hardcoding it to g++ (report by Martin Mokrejs).
8560	+ update config.guess, config.sub (2002-11-30)
8561	+ modify configure script to skip --with-shared, etc., when the
8562	  --with-libtool option is given, since they would be ignored anyway.
8563	+ fix to allow "configure --with-libtool --with-termlib" to build.
8564	+ modify configure script to show version number of libtool, to help
8565	  with bug reports.  libtool still gets confused if the installed
8566	  ncurses libraries are old, since it ignores the -L options at some
8567	  point (tested with libtool 1.3.3 and 1.4.3).
8568	+ reorder configure script's updating of $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to
8569	  prevent -I options in the user's environment from introducing
8570	  conflicts with the build -I options (may be related to reports by
8571	  Patrick Ash and George Goffe).
8572	+ rename test/define_key.c to test/demo_defkey.c, test/keyok.c to
8573	  test/demo_keyok.c to allow building these with libtool.
8574
857520021123
8576	+ add example program test/define_key.c for define_key().
8577	+ add example program test/keyok.c for keyok().
8578	+ add example program test/ins_wide.c for wins_wch() and wins_wstr().
8579	+ modify wins_wch() and wins_wstr() to interpret tabs by using the
8580	  winsch() internal function.
8581	+ modify setcchar() to allow for wchar_t input strings that have
8582	  more than one spacing character.
8583
858420021116
8585	+ fix a boundary check in lib_insch.c (patch by Philippe Blain).
8586	+ change type for *printw functions from NCURSES_CONST to const
8587	  (prompted by comment by Pedro Palhoto Matos <plpm@mega.ist.utl.pt>,
8588	  but really from a note on X/Open's website stating that either is
8589	  acceptable, and the latter will be used in a future revision).
8590	+ add xterm-1002, xterm-1003 terminfo entries to demonstrate changes in
8591	  lib_mouse.c (20021026) -TD
8592	+ add screen-bce, screen-s entries from screen 3.9.13 (report by
8593	  Adam Lazur <zal@debian.org>) -TD
8594	+ add mterm terminfo entries -TD
8595
859620021109
8597	+ split-out useful fragments in terminfo for vt100 and vt220 numeric
8598	  keypad, i.e., vt100+keypad, vt100+pfkeys, vt100+fnkeys and
8599	  vt220+keypad.  The last as embedded in various entries had ka3 and
8600	  kb2 interchanged (report/discussion with Leonard den Ottolander
8601	  <leonardjo@hetnet.nl>).
8602	+ add check in tic for keypads consistent with vt100 layout.
8603	+ improve checks in tic for color capabilities
8604
860520021102
8606	+ check for missing/empty/illegal terminfo name in _nc_read_entry()
8607	  (report by Martin Mokrejs, where $TERM was set to an empty string).
8608	+ rewrote lib_insch.c, combining it with lib_insstr.c so both handle
8609	  tab and other control characters consistently (report by Philippe
8610	  Blain).
8611	+ remove an #undef for KEY_EVENT from curses.tail used in the
8612	  experimental NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS feature.  The #undef confuses
8613	  dpkg's build script (Debian #165897).
8614	+ fix MKlib_gen.sh, working around the ironically named POSIXLY_CORRECT
8615	  feature of GNU sed 4.0 (reported by Ervin Nemeth <airwin@inf.bme.hu>).
8616
861720021026
8618	+ implement logic in lib_mouse.c to handle position reports which are
8619	  generated when XFree86 xterm is initialized with private modes 1002
8620	  or 1003.  These are returned to the application as the
8621	  REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION mask, which was not implemented.  Tested both
8622	  with ncurses 'a' menu (prompted by discussion with Larry Riedel
8623	  <Larry@Riedel.org>).
8624	+ modify lib_mouse.c to look for "XM" terminfo string, which allows
8625	  one to override the escape sequence used to enable/disable mouse
8626	  mode.  In particular this works for XFree86 xterm private modes
8627	  1002 and 1003.  If "XM" is missing (note that this is an extended
8628	  name), lib_mouse uses the conventional private mode 1000.
8629	+ correct NOT_LOCAL() macro in lib_mvcur.c to refer to screen_columns
8630	  where it used screen_lines (report by Philippe Blain).
8631	+ correct makefile rules for the case when both --with-libtool and
8632	  --with-gpm are given (report by Mr E_T <troll@logi.net.au>).
8633	+ add note to terminfo manpage regarding the differences between
8634	  setaf/setab and setf/setb capabilities (report by Pavel Roskin).
8635
863620021019
8637	+ remove redundant initialization of TABSIZE in newterm(), since it is
8638	  already done in setupterm() (report by Philippe Blain).
8639	+ add test/inserts.c, to test winnstr() and winsch().
8640	+ replace 'sort' in dist.mk with script that sets locale to POSIX.
8641	+ update URLs in announce.html.in (patch by Frederic L W Meunier).
8642	+ remove glibc add-on files, which are no longer needed (report by
8643	  Frederic L W Meunier).
8644
864520021012 5.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
8646	+ modify ifdef's in etip.h.in to allow the etip.h header to compile
8647	  with gcc 3.2 (patch by Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy@is-vn.bg>).
8648	+ add logic to setupterm() to make it like initscr() and newterm(),
8649	  by checking for $NCURSES_TRACE environment variable and enabling
8650	  the debug trace in that case.
8651	+ modify setupterm() to ensure that it initializes the baudrate, for
8652	  applications such as tput (report by Frank Henigman).
8653	+ modify definition of bits used for command-line and library debug
8654	  traces to avoid overlap, using new definition TRACE_SHIFT to relate
8655	  the two.
8656	+ document tput's interpretation of parameterized strings according to
8657	  whether parameters are given, etc. (discussion with Robert De Bath).
8658
865920021005 pre-release
8660	+ correct winnwstr() to account for non-character cells generated when
8661	  a double-width character is added (report by Michael Bienia
8662	  <michael@vorlon.ping.de>).
8663	+ modify _nc_viswbuf2n() to provide better results using wctomb().
8664	+ correct logic in _nc_varargs() which broke tracing of parameters for
8665	  formats such as "%.*s".
8666	+ correct scale factor in linux-c and linux-c-nc terminfo entries
8667	  (report Floyd Davidson).
8668	+ change tic -A option to -t, add the same option to infocmp for
8669	  consistency.
8670	+ correct "%c" implementation in lib_tparm.c, which did not map a null
8671	  character to a 128 (cf: 980620) (patch by Frank Henigman
8672	  <fjhenigman@mud.cgl.uwaterloo.ca>).
8673
867420020928 pre-release
8675	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for POSIX sort -k option, use that if
8676	  it is found, to accommodate newer utility which dropped the
8677	  compatibility support for +number options (reported by Andrey A
8678	  Chernov).
8679	+ modify linux terminfo entry to use color palette feature from
8680	  linux-c-nc entry (comments by Tomasz Wasiak and Floyd Davidson).
8681	+ restore original color definitions in endwin() if init_color() was
8682	  used, and resume those colors on the next doupdate() or refresh()
8683	  (report by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@komputom.com.pl>).
8684	+ improve debug-traces by modifying MKlib_gen.sh to generate calls
8685	  to returnBool() and returnAttr().
8686	+ add/use _nc_visbufn() and _nc_viswbufn() to limit the debug trace
8687	  of waddnstr() and similar functions to match the parameters as used.
8688	+ add/use _nc_retrace_bool() and _nc_retrace_unsigned().
8689	+ correct type used by _nc_retrace_chtype().
8690	+ add debug traces to some functions in lib_mouse.c
8691	+ modify lib_addch.c to handle non-spacing characters.
8692	+ correct parameter of RemAttr() in lib_bkgd.c, which caused the c++
8693	  demo's boxes to lose the A_ALTCHARSET flag (broken in 20020629).
8694	+ correct width computed in _tracedump(), which did not account for
8695	  the attributes (broken in 20010602).
8696	+ modify test/tracemunch to replace addresses for windows other than
8697	  curscr, newscr and stdscr with window0, window1, etc.
8698
869920020921 pre-release
8700	+ redid fix for edit_man.sed path.
8701	+ workaround for Cygwin bug which makes subprocess writes to stdout
8702	  result in core dump.
8703	+ documented getbegx(), etc.
8704	+ minor fixes to configure script to use '%' consistently as a sed
8705	  delimiter rather than '@'.
8706	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8707	+ add check in lib_overlay.c to ensure that the windows to be merged
8708	  actually overlap, and in copywin(), limit the area to be touched
8709	  to the lines given for the destination window.
8710
871120020914 pre-release
8712	+ modified curses.h so that if the wide-character version is installed
8713	  overwriting /usr/include/curses.h, and if it relied on libutf8.h,
8714	  then applications that use that header for wide-character support
8715	  must define HAVE_LIBUTF8_H.
8716	+ modify putwin(), getwin() and dupwin() to allow them to operate on
8717	  pads (request by Philippe Blain).
8718	+ correct attribute-merging in wborder(), broken in 20020216 (report
8719	  by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@grubasek.komputom.com.pl>).
8720	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8721	+ corrected pop-counts in tparam_internal() to '!' and '~' cases.
8722	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in one place that used sizeof(chtype).
8723	+ remove some unused variables from mvcur test-driver.
8724
872520020907 pre-release
8726	+ change configure script to allow install of widec-character
8727	  (ncursesw) headers to overwrite normal (ncurses) headers, since the
8728	  latter is a compatible subset of the former.
8729	+ fix path of edit_man.sed in configure script, needed to regenerate
8730	  html manpages on Debian.
8731	+ fix mismatched enums in vsscanf.c, which caused warning on Solaris.
8732	+ update README.emx to reflect current patch used for autoconf.
8733	+ change web- and ftp-site to invisible-island.net
8734	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8735	+ change case for 'P' in tparam_internal() to indicate that it pops
8736	  a variable from the stack.
8737	+ correct sense of precision and width in parse_format(), to avoid
8738	  confusion.
8739	+ modify lib_tparm.c, absorb really_get_space() into get_space().
8740	+ modify getwin() and dupwin() to copy the _notimeout, _idlok and
8741	  _idcok window fields.
8742	+ better fix for _nc_set_type(), using typeMalloc().
8743
874420020901 pre-release
8745	+ change minor version to 3, i.e., ncurses 5.3
8746	+ update config.guess, config.sub
8747	+ retest build with each configure option; minor ifdef fixes.
8748	+ make keyname() return a null pointer rather than "UNKNOWN STRING" to
8749	  match XSI.
8750	+ modify handling of wide line-drawing character functions to use the
8751	  normal line-drawing characters when not in UTF-8 locale.
8752	+ add check/fix to comp_parse.c to suppress warning about missing acsc
8753	  string.  This happens in configurations where raw termcap information
8754	  is processed; tic already does this and other checks.
8755	+ modify tic's check for ich/ich1 versus rmir/smir to only warn about
8756	  ich1, to match xterm patch #70 notes.
8757	+ moved information for ripped-off lines into SCREEN struct to allow
8758	  use in resizeterm().
8759	+ add experimental wgetch_events(), ifdef'd with NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
8760	  (adapted from patch by Ilya Zakharevich - see ncurses/README.IZ).
8761	+ amend check in kgetch() from 20020824 to look only for function-keys,
8762	  otherwise escape sequences are not resolved properly.
8763	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8764	+ removed redundant assignment to SP->_checkfd from newterm().
8765	+ check return-value of setupterm() in restartterm().
8766	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in a few places that used sizeof(chtype).
8767	+ prevent dupwin() from duplicating a pad.
8768	+ prevent putwin() from writing a pad.
8769	+ use typeRealloc() or typeMalloc() in preference to direct calls on
8770	  _nc_doalloc().
8771
877220020824
8773	+ add a check in kgetch() for cooked characters in the fifo to avoid
8774	  calling fifo_push() when a KEY_RESIZE is available (report/analysis
8775	  by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>).
8776	+ fix an overlooked case for Redhat #68199 (Philippe Blain).
8777	+ ensure clearerr() is called before using ferror() e.g., in
8778	  lib_screen.c (report by Philippe Blain).
8779
878020020817
8781	+ modify lib_screen.c and lib_newwin.c to maintain the SCREEN-specific
8782	  pointers for curscr/stdscr/newscr when scr_save() and scr_restore()
8783	  modify the global curscr/stdscr/newscr variables.  Fixes Redhat
8784	  #68199.
8785	+ add checks for null pointer in calls to tparm() and tgoto() based on
8786	  FreeBSD bug report.  If ncurses were built with termcap support, and
8787	  the first call to tgoto() were a zero-length string, the result would
8788	  be a null pointer, which was not handled properly.
8789	+ correct a typo in terminfo.head, which gave the octal code for colon
8790	  rather than comma.
8791	+ remove the "tic -u" option from 20020810, since it did not account
8792	  for nested "tc=" clauses, and when that was addressed, was still
8793	  unsatisfactory.
8794
879520020810
8796	+ add tic -A option to suppress capabilities which are commented out
8797	  when translating to termcap.
8798	+ add tic -u option to provide older behavior of "tc=" clauses.
8799	+ modified tic to expand all but the final "tc=" clause in a termcap
8800	  entry, to accommodate termcap libraries which do not handle multiple
8801	  tc clauses.
8802	+ correct typo in curs_inopts.3x regarding CS8/CS7 usage (report by
8803	  Philippe Blain).
8804	+ remove a couple of redundant uses of A_ATTRIBUTES in expressions
8805	  using AttrOf(), which already incorporates that mask (report by
8806	  Philippe Blain).
8807	+ document TABSIZE variable.
8808	+ add NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS environment variable, to allow users to
8809	  override compiled-in default black-on-white assumption used in
8810	  assume_default_colors().
8811	+ correct an off-by-one comparison against max_colors in COLORFGBG
8812	  logic.
8813	+ correct a use of uninitialized memory found by valgrind (reported by
8814	  Olaf Buddenhagen <olafBuddenhagen@web.de>).
8815	+ modified wresize() to ensure that a failed realloc will not corrupt
8816	  the window structure, and to make subwindows fit within the resized
8817	  window (completes Debian #87678, Debian #101699)
8818
881920020803
8820	+ fix an off-by-one in lib_pad.c check for limits of pad (patch by
8821	  Philippe Blain).
8822	+ revise logic for BeOS in lib_twait.c altered in 20011013 to restore
8823	  logic used by lib_getch.c's support for GPM or EMX mouse (report by
8824	  Philippe Blain)
8825	+ remove NCURSES_CONST from several prototypes in curses.wide, to make
8826	  the --enable-const --enable-widec configure options to work together
8827	  (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@yahoo.com>).
8828
882920020727
8830	+ finish no-leak checking in cardfile.c, using this for testing changes
8831	  to resizeterm().
8832	+ simplify _nc_freeall() using delscreen().
8833
883420020720
8835	+ check error-return from _nc_set_tty_mode() in _nc_initscr() and
8836	  reset_prog_mode() (report/patch by Philippe Blain).
8837	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52, to address
8838	  problem with identifying C++ bool type.
8839	+ correct/improve logic to produce an exit status for errors in tput,
8840	  which did not exit with an error when told to put a string not in the
8841	  current terminfo entry (report by David Gomez <david@pleyades.net>).
8842	+ modify configure script AC_OUTPUT() call to work around defect in
8843	  autoconf 2.52 which adds an ifdef'd include to the generated
8844	  configure definitions.
8845	+ remove fstat() check from scr_init(), which also fixes a missing
8846	  include for <sys/stat.h> from 20020713 (reported by David Ellement,
8847	  fix suggested by Philippe Blain).
8848	+ update curs_scanw.3x manpage to note that XSI curses differs from
8849	  SVr4 curses: return-values are incompatible.
8850	+ correct several prototypes in manpages which used const
8851	  inconsistently with the curses.h file, and removed spurious const's
8852	  in a few places from curses.h, e.g., for wbkgd() (report by Glenn
8853	  Maynard <glenn@zewt.org>).
8854	+ change internal type used by tparm() to long, to work with LP64 model.
8855	+ modify nc_alloc.h to allow building with g++, for testing.
8856
885720020713
8858	+ add resize-handling to cardfile.c test program.
8859	+ altered resizeterm() to avoid having it fail when a child window
8860	  cannot be resized because it would be larger than its parent.  (More
8861	  work must be done on this, but it works well enough to integrate).
8862	+ improve a limit-check in lib_refresh.c
8863	+ remove check in lib_screen.c relating dumptime to file's modification
8864	  times, since that would not necessarily work for remotely mounted
8865	  filesystems.
8866	+ modify lrtest to simplify debugging changes to resizeterm, e.g.,
8867	  t/T commands to enable/disable tracing.
8868	+ updated status of multibyte support in TO-DO.
8869	+ update contact info in source-files (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
8870
887120020706
8872	+ add Caps.hpux11, as an example.
8873	+ modify version_filter(), used to implement -R option for tic and
8874	  infocmp, to use computed array offsets based on the Caps.* file which
8875	  is actually configured, rather than constants which correspond to
8876	  the Caps file.
8877	+ reorganized lib_raw.c to avoid updating SP and cur_term state if the
8878	  functions fail (reported by Philippe Blain).
8879	+ add -Wundef to gcc warnings, adjust a few ifdef's to accommodate gcc.
8880
888120020629
8882	+ correct parameters to setcchar() in ncurses.c (cf: 20020406).
8883	+ set locale in most test programs (view.c and ncurses.c were the
8884	  only ones).
8885	+ add configure option --with-build-cppflags (report by Maksim A
8886	  Nikulin <M.A.Nikulin@inp.nsk.su>).
8887	+ correct a typo in wide-character logic for lib_bkgnd.c (Philippe
8888	  Blain).
8889	+ modify lib_wacs.c to not cancel the acsc, smacs, rmacs strings when
8890	  in UTF-8 locale.  Wide-character functions use Unicode values, while
8891	  narrow-character functions use the terminfo data.
8892	+ fix a couple of places in Ada95/samples which did not compile with
8893	  gnat 3.14
8894	+ modify mkinstalldirs so the DOS-pathname case is locale-independent.
8895	+ fix locale problem in MKlib_gen.sh by forcing related variables to
8896	  POSIX (C), using same approach as autoconf (set variables only if
8897	  they were set before).  Update MKterminfo.sh and MKtermsort.sh to
8898	  match.
8899
890020020622
8901	+ add charset to generated html.
8902	+ add mvterm entry, adapted from a FreeBSD bug-report by Daniel Rudy
8903	  <dcrudy@pacbell.net> -TD
8904	+ add rxvt-16color, ibm+16color entries -TD
8905	+ modify check in --disable-overwrite option so that it is used by
8906	  default unless the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr, in attempt to
8907	  work around packagers, e.g., for Sun's freeware, who do not read the
8908	  INSTALL notes.
8909
891020020615
8911	+ modify wgetch() to allow returning ungetch'd KEY_RESIZE as a function
8912	  key code in get_wch().
8913	+ extended resize-handling in test/ncurses 'a' menu to the entire
8914	  stack of windows created with 'w' commands.
8915	+ improve $COLORFGBG feature by interpreting an out-of-range color
8916	  value as an SGR 39 or 49, for foreground/background respectively.
8917	+ correct a typo in configure --enable-colorfgbg option, and move it
8918	  to the experimental section (cf: 20011208).
8919
892020020601
8921	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to remove function-key definitions that do
8922	  not fit into the 1023-byte limit for generated termcaps.  This makes
8923	  hds200 fit.
8924	+ more improvements to tic's warnings, including logic to ignore
8925	  differences between delay values in sgr strings.
8926	+ move definition of KEY_RESIZE into MKkeydefs.sh script, to
8927	  accommodate Caps.osf1r5 which introduced a conflicting definition.
8928
892920020525
8930	+ add simple resize-handling in test/ncurses.c 'a' menu.
8931	+ fixes in keyname() and _tracechar() to handle negative values.
8932	+ make tic's warnings about mismatches in sgr strings easier to follow.
8933	+ correct tic checks for number of parameters in smgbp and smglp.
8934	+ improve scoansi terminfo entry, and add scoansi-new entry -TD
8935	+ add pcvt25-color terminfo entry -TD
8936	+ add kf13-kf48 strings to cons25w terminfo entry (reported by Stephen
8937	  Hurd <deuce@lordlegacy.org> in newsgroup lucky.freebsd.bugs) -TD
8938	+ add entrypoint _nc_trace_ttymode(), use this to distinguish the
8939	  Ottyb and Nttyb members of terminal (aka cur_term), for tracing.
8940
894120020523
8942	+ correct and simplify logic for lib_pad.c change in 20020518 (reported
8943	  by Mike Castle).
8944
894520020518
8946	+ fix lib_pad.c for case of drawing a double-width character which
8947	  falls off the left margin of the pad (patch by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij
8948	  <lerdsuwa@users.sourceforge.net>)
8949	+ modify configure script to work around broken gcc 3.1 "--version"
8950	  option, which adds unnecessary trash to the requested information.
8951	+ adjust ifdef's in case SIGWINCH is not defined, e.g., with DJGPP
8952	  (reported by Ben Decker <deckerben@freenet.de>).
8953
895420020511
8955	+ implement vid_puts(), vid_attr(), term_attrs() based on the narrow-
8956	  character versions as well.
8957	+ implement erasewchar(), killwchar() based on erasechar() and
8958	  killchar().
8959	+ modify erasechar() and killchar() to return ERR if the value was
8960	  VDISABLE.
8961	+ correct a bug in wresize() in handling subwindows (based on patch by
8962	  Roger Gammans <rgammans@computer-surgery.co.uk>, report by Scott Beck
8963	  <scott@gossamer-threads.com>).
8964	+ improve test/tclock.c by making the second-hand update more often
8965	  if gettimeofday() is available.
8966
896720020429
8968	+ workaround for Solaris sed with MKlib_gen.sh (reported by Andy
8969	  Tsouladze <andyt@mypoints.com>).
8970
897120020427
8972	+ correct return-value from getcchar(), making it consistent with
8973	  Solaris and Tru64.
8974	+ reorder loops that generate makefile rules for different models vs
8975	  subsets so configure --with-termlib works again.  This was broken by
8976	  logic added to avoid duplicate rules in changes to accommodate cygwin
8977	  dll's (reported by George.R.Goffe@seagate.com).
8978	+ update config.guess, config.sub
8979
898020020421
8981	+ modify ifdef's in write_entry.c to allow use of symbolic links on
8982	  platforms with no hard links, e.g., BeOS.
8983	+ modify a few includes to allow compile with BeOS, which has stdbool.h
8984	  with a conflicting definition for 'bool' versus its OS.h definition.
8985	+ amend MKlib_gen.sh to work with gawk, which defines 'func' as an
8986	  alias for 'function'.
8987
898820020420
8989	+ correct form of prototype for ripoffline().
8990	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to test that all functions marked as implemented
8991	  can be linked.
8992
899320020413
8994	+ add manpages: curs_get_wstr.3x, curs_in_wchstr.3x
8995	+ implement wgetn_wstr().
8996	+ implement win_wchnstr().
8997	+ remove redefinition of unget_wch() in lib_gen.c (reported by
8998	  Jungshik Shin <jshin@jtan.com>).
8999
900020020406
9001	+ modified several of the test programs to allow them to compile with
9002	  vendor curses implementations, e.g., Solaris, AIX -TD
9003
900420020323
9005	+ modified test/configure to allow configuring against ncursesw.
9006	+ change WACS_xxx definition to use address, to work like Tru64 curses.
9007
900820020317
9009	+ add 'e' and 'm' toggles to 'a', 'A' tests in ncurses.c to demonstrate
9010	  effect of echo/noecho and meta modes.
9011	+ add 'A' test to ncurses.c to demonstrate wget_wch() and related
9012	  functions.
9013	+ add manpage: curs_get_wch.3x
9014	+ implement unget_wch().
9015	+ implement wget_wch().
9016
901720020310
9018	+ regenerated html manpages.
9019	+ add manpages: curs_in_wch.3x, curs_ins_wch.3x, curs_ins_wstr.3x
9020	+ implement wins_wch().
9021	+ implement win_wch().
9022	+ implement wins_nwstr(), wins_wstr().
9023
902420020309
9025	+ add manpages: curs_addwstr.3x, curs_winwstr.3x
9026	+ implement winnwstr(), winwstr().
9027
902820020223
9029	+ add manpages: curs_add_wchstr.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x
9030	+ document wunctrl, key_name.
9031	+ implement key_name().
9032	+ remove const's in lib_box.c incorrectly leftover after splitting off
9033	  lib_box_set.c
9034	+ update llib-lncurses, llib-ncursesw, fix configure script related to
9035	  these.
9036
903720020218
9038	+ remove quotes on "SYNOPSIS" in man/curs_box_set.3x, which resulted
9039	  in spurious symlinks on install.
9040
904120020216
9042	+ implement whline_set(), wvline_set(), add manpage curs_border_set.
9043	+ add subtest 'b' to 'F' and 'f' in ncurses.c to demonstrate use of
9044	  box() and box_set() functions.
9045	+ add subtest 'u' to 'F' in ncurses.c, to demonstrate use of addstr()
9046	  given UTF-8 string equivalents of WACS_xxx symbols.
9047	+ minor fixes to several manpages based on groff -ww output.
9048	+ add descriptions of external variables of termcap interface to
9049	  the manpage (report by Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au>).
9050	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
9051	+ correct configure option --with-bool, which was executed as
9052	  --with-ospeed.
9053	+ add quotes for parameters of --with-bool and --with-ospeed configure
9054	  options.
9055	> patch by Sven Verdoolaege (report by Gerhard Haering
9056	  <haering_linux@gmx.de>):
9057	+ correct typos in definitions of several wide-character macros:
9058	  waddwstr, wgetbkgrnd, mvaddwstr, mvwadd_wchnstr, mvwadd_wchnstr,
9059	  mvwaddwstr.
9060	+ pass $(CPPFLAGS) to MKlib_gen.sh, thereby fixing a missing definition
9061	  of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, e.g., on Solaris
9062
906320020209
9064	+ implement wide-acs characters for UTF-8 locales.  When in UTF-8
9065	  locale, ignore narrow version of acs.  Add 'F' test to test/ncurses.c
9066	  to demonstrate.
9067	+ correct prototype in keybound manpage (noted from a Debian mailing
9068	  list item).
9069
907020020202
9071	+ add several cases to the wscanw() example in testcurs.c, showing the
9072	  format.
9073	+ implement a simple vsscanf() fallback function which uses the %n
9074	  conversion to help parse the input data (prompted by discussion with
9075	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
9076	+ modify mk-1st.awk and test/Makefile.in to add $(LDFLAGS) when making
9077	  shared libraries, and to use $(CFLAGS) when linking test programs
9078	  (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
9079	+ add a call to _nc_keypad() in keypad() to accommodate applications
9080	  such as nvi, which use curses for output but not for input (fixes
9081	  Debian #131263, cf: 20011215).
9082	+ add entrypoints to resizeterm.c which provide better control over the
9083	  process:  is_term_resized() and resize_term().  The latter restores
9084	  the original design of resizeterm() before KEY_RESIZE was added in
9085	  970906.  Do this to accommodate 20010922 changes to view.c, but allow
9086	  for programs with their own sigwinch handler, such as lynx (reported
9087	  by Russell Ruby <russ@math.orst.edu>).
9088
908920020127
9090	+ fix a typo in change to mk-1st.awk, which broke the shared-library
9091	  makefile rules (reported by Martin Mokrejs).
9092
909320020126
9094	+ update config.guess, config.sub
9095	+ finish changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
9096	+ fix a typo in mvwchat() macro (reported by Cy <yam@homerow.net).
9097
909820020119
9099	+ add case in lib_baudrate.c for B921600 (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
9100	+ correct missing sed-editing stage in manpage installs which is used
9101	  to rename manpages, broken in 20010324 fix for Debian #89939 (Debian
9102	  #78866).
9103	+ remove -L$(libdir) from linker flags, probably not needed any more
9104	  since HPUX is handled properly (reported by Niibe Yutaka
9105	  <gniibe@m17n.org>).
9106	+ add configure check for mbstate_t, needed for wide-character
9107	  configuration.  On some platforms we must include <wchar.h> to
9108	  define this (reported by Daniel Jacobowitz).
9109	+ incorporate some of the changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
9110
911120020112a
9112	+ workaround for awk did not work with mawk, adjusted shell script.
9113
911420020112
9115	+ add Caps.osf1r5, as an example.
9116	+ modify behavior of can_clear_with() so that if an application is
9117	  running in a non-bce terminals with default colors enabled, it
9118	  returns true, allowing the user to select/paste text without picking
9119	  up extraneous trailing blanks (adapted from patch by Daniel
9120	  Jacobowitz <dmj+@andrew.cmu.edu>).
9121	+ modify generated curses.h to ifdef-out prototypes for extensions if
9122	  they are disabled, and to define curses_version() as a string in that
9123	  case.  This is needed to make the programs such as tic build in that
9124	  configuration.
9125	+ modified generated headers.sh to remove a gzip'd version of the
9126	  target file if it exists, in case non-gzip'd manpages are installed
9127	  into a directory where gzip'd ones exist.  In that case, the latter
9128	  would be found.
9129	+ corrected a redundant initialization of signal handlers from 20010922
9130	  changes.
9131	+ clarified bug-reporting address in terminfo.src (report by John H
9132	  DuBois III <spcecdt@armory.com>).
9133	> several fixes from Robert Joop:
9134	+ do not use "-v" option of awk in MKkey_defs.sh because it does not
9135	  work with SunOS nawk.
9136	+ modify definitions for libutf8 in curses.h to avoid redefinition
9137	  warnings for mblen
9138	+ quoted references to compiler in shell command in misc/Makefile, in
9139	  case it uses multiple tokens.
9140
914120011229
9142	+ restore special case from 20010922 changes to omit SA_RESTART when
9143	  setting up SIGWINCH handler, which is needed to allow wgetch() to be
9144	  interrupted by that signal.
9145	+ updated configure macro CF_WITH_PATHLIST, to omit some double quotes
9146	  not needed with autoconf 2.52
9147	+ revert configure script to autoconf 2.13 patched with
9148		autoconf-2.13-19990117.patch.gz (or later)
9149	  from
9150		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
9151	  because autoconf 2.52 macro AC_PROG_AWK does not work on HPUX 11.0
9152	  (report by David Ellement <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).  This also fixes a
9153	  different problem configuring with Mac OS X (reported by Marc Smith
9154	  <marc.a.smith@home.com>).
9155
915620011222
9157	+ modify include/edit_cfg.h to eliminate BROKEN_LINKER symbol from
9158	  term.h
9159	+ move prototype for _nc_vsscanf() into curses.h.in to omit
9160	  HAVE_VSSCANF symbol from curses.h, which was dependent upon the
9161	  ncurses_cfg.h file which is not installed.
9162	+ use ACS_LEN rather than SIZEOF(acs_map) in trace code of lib_acs.c,
9163	  to work with broken linker configuration, e.g., cygwin (report by
9164	  Robert Joop <rj@rainbow.in-berlin.de>).
9165	+ make napms() call _nc_timed_wait() rather than poll() or select(),
9166	  to work around broken implementations of these on cygwin.
9167
916820011218
9169	+ drop configure macro CF_WIDEC_SHIFT, since that was rendered obsolete
9170	  by Sven Verdoolaege's rewrite of wide-character support.  This makes
9171	  libncursesw incompatible again, but makes the header files almost the
9172	  same as in the narrow-character configuration.
9173	+ simplify definitions that combine wide/narrow versions of bkgd, etc.,
9174	  to eliminate differences between the wide/narrow versions of curses.h
9175	+ correct typo in configure macro CF_FUNC_VSSCANF
9176	+ correct location of call to _nc_keypad() from 20011215 changes which
9177	  prevented keypad() from being disabled (reported by Lars Hecking).
9178
917920011215
9180	+ rewrote ncurses 'a' test to exercise wgetch() and keypad() functions
9181	  better, e.g., by adding a 'w' command to create new windows which
9182	  may have different keypad() settings.
9183	+ corrected logic of keypad() by adding internal screen state to track
9184	  whether the terminal's keypad-mode has been set.  Use this in
9185	  wgetch() to update the keypad-mode according to whether the
9186	  associated window's keypad-mode has been set with keypad().  This
9187	  corrects a related problem restoring terminal state after handling
9188	  SIGTSTP (reported by Mike Castle).
9189	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52
9190		autoconf-2.52-patch.gz
9191	  at
9192		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
9193	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
9194		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
9195	+ minor changes to quoting in configure script to allow it to work
9196	  with autoconf 2.52
9197
919820011208
9199	+ modify final checks in lib_setup.c for line and col values, making
9200	  them independent.
9201	+ modify acs_map[] if configure --broken-linker is specified, to make
9202	  it use a function rather than an array (prompted by an incorrect
9203	  implementation in cygwin package).
9204	+ correct spelling of configure option --enable-colorfgbg, which
9205	  happened to work if --with-develop was set (noted in cygwin package
9206	  for ncurses).
9207	+ modify ifdef for genericerror() to compile with SUNWspro Sun WorkShop
9208	  6 update 1 C++ 5.2 (patch by Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>).
9209	+ add configure checks to see if ncurses' fallback vsscanf() will
9210	  compile either of the special cases for FILE structs, and if not,
9211	  force it to the case which simply returns an error (report by
9212	  Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu> indicates that Solaris 8 with
9213	  64-bits does not allow access to FILE's fields).
9214	+ modify ifdef's for c++/cursesw.cc to use the fallback vsscanf() in
9215	  the ncurses library if no better substitute for this can be found
9216	  in the C++ runtime.
9217	+ modify the build to name dynamic libraries according to the
9218	  convention used on OS X and Darwin.  Rather than something like
9219	  libncurses.dylib.5.2, Darwin would name it libncurses.  5.dylib.
9220	  There are a few additional minor fixes, such as setting the library
9221	  version and compatibility version numbers (patch by Jason Evans
9222	  <jevans@apple.com>).
9223	+ use 'sh' to run mkinstalldirs, to work around problems with buggy
9224	  versions of 'make' on OS/2 (report by John Polterak <jp@eyup.org>).
9225	+ correct typo in manpage description of curs_set() (Debian #121548).
9226	+ replace the configure script existence-check for mkstemp() by one
9227	  that checks if the function works, needed for older glibc and
9228	  AmigaOS.
9229
923020011201
9231	+ modify script that generates fallbacks.c to compile a temporary
9232	  copy of the terminfo source in case the host does not contain all of
9233	  the entries requested for fallbacks (request by Greg Roelofs).
9234	+ modify configure script to accommodate systems such as Mac OS X whose
9235	  <stdbool.h> header defines a 'bool' type inconsistent with ncurses,
9236	  which normally makes 'bool' consistent with C++.  Include <stdbool.h>
9237	  from curses.h to force consistent usage, define a new type
9238	  NCURSES_BOOL and related that to the exported 'bool' as either a
9239	  typedef or definition, according to whether <stdbool.h> is present
9240	  (based on a bug report for tin 1.5.9 by Aaron Adams <adamsa@mac.com>).
9241
924220011124
9243	+ added/updated terminfo entries for M$ telnet and KDE konsole -TD
9244
924520011117
9246	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
9247	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
9248	+ add putty terminfo entry -TD
9249	+ if configuring for wide-curses, define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, since
9250	  this may not otherwise be defined to make test/view.c compile.
9251
925220011110
9253	+ review/correct several missing/generated items in curses.wide, sorted
9254	  the lists to make subsequent diff's easier to track.
9255
925620011103
9257	+ add manual pages for add_wch(), echo_wchar(), getcchar(),
9258	  mvadd_wch(), mvwadd_wch(), setcchar(), wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar().
9259	+ implement wecho_wchar()
9260	+ modify _tracedump() to handle wide-characters by mapping them to '?'
9261	  and control-characters to '.', to make the trace file readable.  Also
9262	  dynamically allocate the buffer used by _tracedump() for formatting
9263	  the results.
9264	+ modify T_CALLED/T_RETURN macros to ease balancing call/return lines
9265	  in a trace by using curly braces.
9266	+ implement _nc_viscbuf(), for tracing cchar_t arrays.
9267	+ correct trace-calls in setcchar() and getcchar() functions, which
9268	  traced the return values but not the entry to each function.
9269	+ correct usage message in test/view.c, which still mentioned -u flag.
9270
927120011027
9272	+ modify configure script to allow building with termcap only, or with
9273	  fallbacks only.  In this case, we do not build tic and toe.
9274	+ add configure --with-termpath option, to override default TERMPATH
9275	  value of /etc/termcap:/usr/share/misc/termcap.
9276	+ cosmetic change to tack: make menu descriptions agree with menu
9277	  titles.
9278
927920011020
9280	+ rewrote limit-checks in wscrl() and associated _nc_scroll_window(),
9281	  to ensure that if the parameter of wscrl() is larger than the size of
9282	  the scrolling region, then the scrolling region will be cleared
9283	  (report by Ben Kohlen <bckohlen@yahoo.com>).
9284	+ add trace/varargs.c, using this to trace parameters in lib_printw.c
9285	+ implement _tracecchar_t2() and _tracecchar_t().
9286	+ split-out trace/visbuf.c
9287	+ correct typo in lib_printw.c changes from 20010922 (report by Mike
9288	  Castle).
9289
929020011013
9291	+ modify run_tic.sh to check if the build is a cross-compile.  In that
9292	  case, do not use the build's tic to install the terminfo database
9293	  (report by Rafael Rodriguez Velilla <rrv@tid.es>).
9294	+ modify mouse click resolution so that mouseinterval(-1) will disable
9295	  it, e.g., to handle touchscreens via a slow connection (request by
9296	  Byron Stanoszek <gandalf@winds.org>).
9297	+ correct mouseinterval() default value shown in curs_mouse.3x
9298	+ remove conflicting definition of mouse_trafo() (reported by Lars
9299	  Hecking, using gcc 2.95.3).
9300
930120011001
9302	+ simpler fix for signal_name(), to replace the one overlooked in
9303	  20010929 (reported by Larry Virden).
9304
930520010929
9306	+ add -i option to view.c, to test ncurses' check for non-default
9307	  signal handler for SIGINT, etc.
9308	+ add cases for shared-libraries on Darwin/OS X (patch by Rob Braun
9309	  <bbraun@synack.net>).
9310	+ modify tset to restore original I/O modes if an error is encountered.
9311	  Also modify to use buffered stderr consistently rather than mixing
9312	  with write().
9313	+ change signal_name() function to use if-then-else rather than case
9314	  statement, since signal-values aren't really integers (reported by
9315	  Larry Virden).
9316	+ add limit checks in wredrawln(), fixing a problem where lynx was
9317	  repainting a pad which was much larger than the screen.
9318
931920010922
9320	+ fix:  PutRange() was counting the second part of a wide character as
9321	  part of a run, resulting in a cursor position that was one too far
9322	  (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
9323	+ modify resizeterm() to not queue a KEY_RESIZE if there was no
9324	  SIGWINCH, thereby separating the two styles of SIGWINCH handling
9325	  in test/view.c
9326	+ simplified lib_tstp.c, modify it to use SA_RESTART flag for SIGWINCH.
9327	+ eliminate several static buffers in the terminfo compiler, using
9328	  allocated buffers.
9329	+ modify MKkeyname.awk so that keyname() does not store its result into
9330	  a static buffer that is overwritten by the next call.
9331	+ reorganize the output of infocmp -E and -e options to compile cleanly
9332	  with gcc -Wwrite-strings warnings.
9333	+ remove redefinition of chgat/wchgat/mvwchgat from curses.wide
9334
933520010915
9336	+ add label to test/view.c, showing the name of the last key or signal
9337	  that made the screen repaint, to make it clearer when a sigwinch
9338	  does this.
9339	+ use ExitProgram() consistently in the test-programs to make it
9340	  simpler to test leaks with dmalloc, etc.
9341	+ move hashtab static data out of hashmap.c into SCREEN struct.
9342	+ make NO_LEAK code compile with revised WINDOWLIST structs.
9343
934420010908
9345	+ modify tgetent() to check if exit_attribute_mode resets the alternate
9346	  character set, and if so, attempt to adjust the copy of the termcap
9347	  "me" string which it will return to eliminate that part.  In
9348	  particular, 'screen' would lose track of line-drawing characters
9349	  (report by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>, analysis by
9350	  Michael Schroeder).
9351
935220010901
9353	+ specify DOCTYPE in html manpages.
9354	+ add missing macros for several "generated" functions:  attr_get(),
9355	  attr_off(), attr_on(), attr_set(), chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat() and
9356	  mouse_trafo().
9357	+ modify view.c to agree with non-experimental status of ncurses'
9358	  sigwinch handler:
9359	  + change the sense of the -r option, making it default to ncurses'
9360	    sigwinch handler.
9361	  + add a note explaining what functions are unsafe in a signal
9362	    handler.
9363	  + add a -c option, to set color display, for testing.
9364	+ unset $data variable in MKterminfo.sh script, to address potential
9365	  infinite loop if shell malfunction (report by Samuel Mikes
9366	  <smikes@cubane.com>, for bash 2.05.0 on a Linux 2.0.36 system).
9367	+ change kbs in mach terminfo entries to ^?  (Marcus Brinkmann
9368	  <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>).
9369	+ correct logic for COLORFGBG environment variable: if rxvt is compiled
9370	  with xpm support, the variable has three fields, making it slightly
9371	  incompatible with itself.  In either case, the background color is
9372	  the last field.
9373
937420010825
9375	+ move calls to def_shell_mode() and def_prog_mode() before loop with
9376	  callbacks in lib_set_term.c, since the c++ demo otherwise initialized
9377	  the tty modes before saving them (patch by John David Anglin
9378	  <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>).
9379	+ duplicate logic used to initialize trace in newterm(), in initscr()
9380	  to avoid confusing trace of initscr().
9381	+ simplify allocation of WINDOW and WINDOWLIST structs by making the
9382	  first a part of the second rather than storing a pointer.  This saves
9383	  a call to malloc for each window (discussion with Philippe Blain).
9384	+ remove unused variable 'used_ncv' from lib_vidattr.c (Philippe
9385	  Blain).
9386	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to accommodate archive programs that are
9387	  different for C++ than for C, and add cases for vendor's C++
9388	  compilers on Solaris and IRIX (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
9389	+ correct manpage description of criteria for deciding if the terminal
9390	  supports xterm mouse controls.
9391	+ add several configure script options to aid with cross-compiling:
9392	  --with-build-cc, --with-build-cflags, --with-build-ldflags, and
9393	  --with-build-libs (request by Greg Roelofs).
9394	+ change criteria for deciding if configure is cross-compiling from
9395	  host/build mismatch to host/target mismatch (request by Greg Roelofs
9396	  <greg.roelofs@philips.com>).
9397	+ correct logic for infocmp -e and -E options which writes the data for
9398	  the ext_Names[] array.  This is needed if one constructs a fallback
9399	  table for a terminfo entry which uses extended termcap names, e.g.,
9400	  AX in a color xterm.
9401	+ fix undefined NCURSES_PATHSEP when configure --disable-database
9402	  option is given.
9403
940420010811
9405	+ fix for VALID_BOOLEAN() macro when char is not signed.
9406	+ modify 'clean' rule for C++ binding to work with Sun compiler, which
9407	  caches additional information in a subdirectory of the objects.
9408	+ added llib-ncursesw.
9409
941020010804
9411	+ add Caps.keys example for experimental extended function keys
9412	  (adapted from a patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
9413	+ correct parameter types of vidputs() and vidattr() to agree with
9414	  header files (report by William P Setzer).
9415	+ fix typos in several man-pages (patch by William P Setzer).
9416	+ remove unneeded ifdef for __GNUG__ in CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC configure
9417	  macro, which made ncurses C++ binding fail to build with other
9418	  C++ compilers such as HPUX 11.x (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
9419	+ workaround for bug in HPUX 11.x C compiler: add a blank after
9420	  NCURSES_EXPORT macro in form.h (report by Albert Chin-A-Young)
9421	+ ignore blank lines in Caps* files in MKkey_defs.sh script (report by
9422	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
9423	+ correct definition of key_end in Caps.aix4, which left KEY_END
9424	  undefined (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
9425	+ remove a QNX-specific fallback prototype for vsscanf(), which is
9426	  obsolete with QNX RTP.
9427	+ review/fix some of the T() and TR() macro calls, having noticed that
9428	  there was no data for delwin() in a trace of dialog because there was
9429	  no returnVoid call for wtimeout().  Also, traces in lib_twait.c are
9430	  now selected under TRACE_IEVENT rather than TRACE_CALLS.
9431
943220010728
9433	+ add a _nc_access() check before opening files listed via $TERMPATH.
9434	+ using modified man2html, regenerate some of the html manpages to fix
9435	  broken HREF's where the link was hyphenated.
9436
943720010721
9438	+ add some limit/pointer checks to -S option of tputs.
9439	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
9440	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
9441	+ add a note in curs_termcap.3x regarding a defect in the XSI
9442	  description of tgetent (based on a discussion with Urs Jansen
9443	  regarding the HPUX 11.x implementation, whose termcap interface is
9444	  not compatible with existing termcap programs).
9445	+ modify manhtml rule in dist.mk to preserve copyright notice on the
9446	  generated files, as well as to address HTML style issues reported by
9447	  tidy and weblint.  Regenerated/updated corresponding html files.
9448	+ comment out use of Protected_Character and related rarely used
9449	  attributes in ncurses Ada95 test/demo to compile with wide-character
9450	  configuration.
9451
945220010714
9453	+ implement a simple example in C++ demo to test scanw().
9454	+ corrected stdio function used to implement scanw() in cursesw.cc
9455	+ correct definition of RemAttr() macro from 20010602 changes, which
9456	  caused C++ SillyDemo to not show line-drawing characters.
9457	+ modify C++ binding, adding getKey() which can be overridden by user
9458	  to substitute functions other than getch() for keyboard processing
9459	  of forms and menus (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9460
946120010707
9462	+ fix some of the trace calls which needed modification to work with
9463	  new wide-character structures.
9464	+ modify magic-cookie code in tty_update.c to compile with new
9465	  wide-character structures (report by <George.R.Goffe@seagate.com>).
9466	+ ensure that _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined in curses.priv.h if
9467	  compiling for wide-character configuration.
9468	+ make addwnstr() handle non-spacing characters (patch by Sven
9469	  Verdoolaege).
9470
947120010630
9472	+ add configure check to define _GNU_SOURCE, needed to prop up glibc
9473	  header files.
9474	+ split-out include/curses.wide to solve spurious redefinitions caused
9475	  by defining _GNU_SOURCE, and move includes for <signal.h> before
9476	  <curses.h> to work around misdefinition of ERR in glibc 2.1.3 header
9477	  file.
9478	+ extended ospeed change to NetBSD and OpenBSD -TD
9479	+ modify logic in lib_baudrate.c for ospeed, for FreeBSD to make it
9480	  work properly for termcap applications (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
9481
948220010623
9483	+ correct an overlooked CharOf/UChar instance (reports by Eugene Lee
9484	  <eugene@anime.net>, Sven Verdoolaege).
9485	+ correct unneeded ifdef for wunctrl() (reported by Sven Verdoolaege)
9486
948720010618
9488	+ change overlooked several CharOf/UChar instances.
9489	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
9490	+ correct a typo in wunctrl(), which made it appear that botwc() was
9491	  needed (no such function: use btowc()).
9492	+ reimplement wide-character demo in test/view.c, using new functions.
9493	+ implement getcchar(), setcchar(), wadd_wchnstr() and related macros.
9494	+ fix a syntax problem with do/if/while in PUTC macro (curses.priv.h).
9495
949620010616
9497	+ add parentheses in macros for malloc in test.priv.h, fixes an
9498	  expression in view.c (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.co.at>).
9499	+ add Caps.uwin, as an example.
9500	+ change the way curses.h is generated, making the list of function
9501	  key definitions extracted from the Caps file.
9502	+ add #undef's before possible redefinition of ERR and OK in curses.h
9503	+ modify logic in tic, toe, tput and tset which checks for basename of
9504	  argv[0] to work properly on systems such as OS/2 which have
9505	  case-independent filenames and/or program suffixes, e.g., ".ext".
9506
950720010609
9508	+ add a configure check, if --enable-widec is specified, for putwc(),
9509	  which may be in libutf8.
9510	+ remove some unnecessary text from curs_extend.3x and
9511	  default_colors.3x which caused man-db to make incorrect symbolic
9512	  links (Debian #99550).
9513	+ add configure check if cast for _IO_va_list is needed to compile
9514	  C++ vscan code (Debian #97945).
9515	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
9516	+ correct code that used non-standard auto-initialization of a struct,
9517	  which gcc allows (report by Larry Virden).
9518	+ use putwc() in PUTC() macro.
9519	+ make addstr() work for the special case where the codeset is
9520	  non-stateful (eg. UTF-8), as well as stateful codesets.
9521
952220010603
9523	+ correct loop expression in NEXT_CHAR macro for lib_addstr.c changes
9524	  from 20010602 (report by Mike Castle).
9525
952620010602
9527	+ modify mvcur() to avoid emitting newline characters when nonl() mode
9528	  is set.  Normally this is not a problem since the actual terminal
9529	  mode is set to suppress nl/crlf translations, however it is useful to
9530	  allow the caller to manipulate the terminal mode to avoid staircasing
9531	  effects after spawning a process which writes messages (for lynx
9532	  2.8.4) -TD
9533	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org>:
9534	+ remove redundant type-conversion in fifo_push()
9535	+ correct definition of addwstr() macro in curses.h.in
9536	+ remove _nc_utf8_outch()
9537	+ rename most existing uses of CharOf() to UChar(), e.g., where it is
9538	  used to prevent sign-extension in ctype macros.
9539	+ change some chtype's to attr_t's where the corresponding variables
9540	  are used to manipulate attributes.
9541	+ UpdateAttr() was applied to both attributes (attr_t) and characters
9542	  (chtype).  Modify macro and calls to it to make these distinct.
9543	+ add CharEq() macro, use in places where wide-character configuration
9544	  implementation uses a struct for cchar_t.
9545	+ moved struct ldat into curses.priv.h, to hide implementation details.
9546	+ change CharOf() macro to use it for masking A_CHARTEXT data from
9547	  chtype's.
9548	+ add L() macro to curses.priv.h, for long-character literals.
9549	+ replace several assignments from struct ldat entries to chtype or
9550	  char values with combinations of CharOf() and AttrOf() macros.
9551	+ add/use intermediate ChAttrOf() and ChCharOf() macros where we know
9552	  we are using chtype data.
9553	+ add/use lowlevel attribute manipulation macros AddAttr(), RemAttr()
9554	  and SetAttr().
9555	+ add/use SetChar() macro, to change a cchar_t based on a character and
9556	  attributes.
9557	+ convert most internal use of chtype to NCURSES_CH_T, to simplify use
9558	  of cchar_t for wide-character configuration.  Similarly, use ARG_CH_T
9559	  where a pointer would be more useful.
9560	+ add stubs for tracing cchar_t values.
9561	+ add/use macro ISBLANK()
9562	+ add/use constructors for cchar_t's: NewChar(), NewChar2().
9563	+ add/use macros CHREF(), CHDEREF(), AttrOfD(), CharOfD() to facilitate
9564	  passing cchar_t's by address.
9565	+ add/use PUTC_DATA, PUTC() macros.
9566	+ for wide-character configuration, move the window background data to
9567	  the end of the WINDOW struct so that whether _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
9568	  is defined or not, the offsets in the struct will not change.
9569	+ modify addch() to work with wide-characters.
9570	+ mark several wide-character functions as generated in curses.h.in
9571	+ implement wunctrl(), wadd_wch(), wbkgrndset(), wbkgrnd(),
9572	  wborder_set() and waddnwstr().
9573
957420010526
9575	+ add experimental --with-caps=XXX option to customize to similar
9576	  terminfo database formats such as AIX 4.x
9577	+ add Caps.aix4 as an example.
9578	+ modify Caps to add columns for the the KEY_xxx symbols.
9579	+ modify configure --with-widec to suppress overwrite of libcurses.so
9580	  and curses.h
9581	+ add checks to toe.c to avoid being confused by files and directories
9582	  where we would expect the reverse, e.g., source-files in the
9583	  top-level terminfo levels as is the case for AIX.
9584
958520010519
9586	+ add top-level 'depend' rule for the C sources, assuming that the
9587	  makedepend program is available.  As a side-effect, this makes
9588	  the generated sources, as in "make sources" (prompted by a report
9589	  by Mike Castle that "make -j" fails because the resulting parallel
9590	  processes race to generate ncurses/names.c).
9591	+ modify configure script so that --disable-overwrite option's action
9592	  to add a symbolic link for libcurses applies to the static library as
9593	  well as the shared library when both are configured (report by Felix
9594	  Natter <f.natter@ndh.net>).
9595	+ add ELKS terminfo entries (Federico Bianchi
9596	  <bianchi@www.arte.unipi.it>)
9597	+ add u6 (CSR) to Eterm (Michael Jennings).
9598
959920010512
9600	+ modify test/ncurses.c to work with xterm-256color, which has fewer
9601	  color pairs than colors*colors (report by David Ellement
9602	  <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).
9603
960420010505
9605	+ corrected screen.xterm-xfree86 entry.
9606	+ update comment in Caps regarding IBM (AIX) function-key definitions.
9607
960820010421
9609	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to link with libncurses++w.a when configured
9610	  for wide-characters (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
9611	+ add check in _nc_trace_buf() to refrain from freeing a null pointer.
9612	+ improve CF_PROG_INSTALL macro using CF_DIRNAME.
9613	+ update config.guess, config.sub from autoconf 2.49e (alpha).
9614
961520010414
9616	+ add secondary check in tic.c, similar_sgr() to see if the reason
9617	  for mismatch was that the individual capabilities used a time-delay
9618	  while sgr did not.  Used this to cleanup mismatches, e.g., in vt100,
9619	  and remove time-delay from Apple_Terminal entries.
9620	+ add Apple_Terminal terminfo entries (Benjamin C W Sittler
9621	  <bsittler@iname.com>).
9622	+ correct definitions of shifted editing keys for xterm-xfree86 -TD
9623	+ fix a bug in test/bs.c from 20010407 (patch by Erik Sigra).
9624	+ prevent relative_move() from doing an overwrite if it detects 8-bit
9625	  characters when configured for UTF-8 (reported by Sven Verdoolaege
9626	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
9627
962820010407
9629	+ add configure checks for strstream.h vscan function, and similar
9630	  stdio-based function which may be used in C++ binding for gcc 3.0
9631	  (reports by George Goffe, Lars Hecking, Mike Castle).
9632	+ rewrite parts of configure.in which used changequote().  That feature
9633	  is broken in the latest autoconf alphas (e.g., 2.49d).
9634	+ add a missing pathname for ncurses_dll.h, needed when building in
9635	  a directory outside the source tree (patch by Sven Verdoolaege
9636	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
9637	> fix 2 bugs in test/bs.c Erik Sigra <sigra@home.se>:
9638	+ no ships were ever placed in the last row or in the last column.
9639	  This made the game very easy to win, because you never had to waste
9640	  any shots there, but the computer did.
9641	+ the squares around a sunken ship that belonged to the player were not
9642	  displayed as already hit by the computer, like it does for the
9643	  player.
9644
964520010331
9646	+ add some examples of customizing screen's terminfo:
9647	  screen.xterm-xfree86, screen.xterm-r6, screen.teraterm -TD
9648	+ modify screen's terminfo entry to match the khome/kend in screen
9649	  3.09.08 (Debian #92215).
9650	+ correct a memory leak in forms library (report by Stefan Vogtner
9651	  <stefan@vogtner.de>) (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9652
965320010324
9654	+ change symbols used to guard against repeated includes to begin
9655	  consistently with "NCURSES_" rather than a leading underscore.  There
9656	  are other symbols defined in the header files which begin with a
9657	  leading underscore, but they are part of the legacy interface.
9658	+ reorder includes in c++ binding so that rcs identifiers can be
9659	  compiled-in.
9660	+ add .cc.ii rule to c++ makefile, to get preprocessor output for
9661	  debugging.
9662	+ correct configure script handling of @keyword@ substitutions when the
9663	  --with-manpage-renames option is given (cf: 20000715, fixes Debian
9664	  #89939).
9665	+ report stack underflow/overflow in tparm() when tic -cv option is
9666	  given.
9667	+ remove spurious "%|" operator from xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry,
9668	  (reported by Adam Costello <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, Debian #89222).
9669
967020010310
9671	+ cleanup of newdemo.c, fixing some ambiguous expressions noted by gcc
9672	  2.95.2, and correcting some conflicting color pair initializations.
9673	+ add missing copyright notice for cursesw.h
9674	+ review, make minor fixes for use of '::' for referring to C-language
9675	  interface from C++ binding.
9676	+ modify configure check for g++ library slightly to accommodate
9677	  nonstandard version number, e.g., <vendor>-2.7 (report by Ronald Ho
9678	  <rho@mipos2.intel.com>).
9679	+ add configure check for c++ <sstream> header, replace hardcoded
9680	  ifdef.
9681	+ workaround for pre-release of gcc 3.0 libstdc++, which has dropped
9682	  vscan from strstreambuf to follow standard, use wrapper for C vscanf
9683	  instead (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@excite.com> and Matt Taggart
9684	  <taggart@carmen.fc.hp.com>, fixes Debian .
9685
968620010303
9687	+ modify interface of _nc_get_token() to pass 'silent' parameter to it,
9688	  to make quieter loading of /etc/termcap (patch by Todd C Miller).
9689	+ correct a few typos in curs_slk.3x and curs_outopts.3x manpages
9690	  (patch by Todd C Miller).
9691
969220010224
9693	+ compiler-warning fixes (reported by Nelson Beebe).
9694
969520010210
9696	+ modify screen terminfo entry to use new 3.9.8 feature allowing xterm
9697	  mouse controls -TD
9698
969920010203
9700	+ broaden patterns used to match OS/2 EMX in configure script to cover
9701	  variant used in newer config.guess/config.sub
9702	+ remove changequote() calls from configure script, since this feature
9703	  is broken in the autoconf 2.49c alpha, maintainers decline to fix.
9704	+ remove macro callPutChar() from tty_update.c, since this is no longer
9705	  needed (reported by Philippe Blain).
9706	+ add a null-pointer check in tic.c to handle the case when the input
9707	  file is really empty.  Modify the next_char() function in comp_scan.c
9708	  to allow arbitrarily long lines, and incidentally supply a newline to
9709	  files that do not end in a newline.  These changes improve tic's
9710	  recovery from attempts to read binary files, e.g., its output from
9711	  the terminfo database (reported by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
9712
971320010127
9714	+ revert change to c++/demo.cc from 20001209, which changed definition
9715	  of main() apparently to accommodate cygwin linker, but broke the demo
9716	  program.
9717	+ workaround for broken egcs 2.91.66 which calls member functions
9718	  (i.e., lines() and colors() of NCursesWindow before calling its
9719	  constructor.  Add calls to initialize() in a few constructors which
9720	  did not do this already.
9721	+ use the GNAT preprocessor to make the necessary switch between TRACE
9722	  and NO_TRACE configurations (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9723	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
9724	+ modify kterm terminfo entry to use SCS sequence to support alternate
9725	  character set (it does not work with SI/SO).
9726	+ --with-ospeed=something didn't work.  configure.in checked for a
9727	  $enableval where it should check for $withval.  Also,
9728	  ncurses/llib-lncurses still had a hardcoded short.
9729
973020010114
9731	+ correction to my merge of Tom Riddle's patch that broke tic in some
9732	  conditions (reported by Enoch Wexler <enoch@wexler.co.il>) -TD
9733
973420010113
9735	+ modify view.c to test halfdelay().  Like other tests, this recognizes
9736	  the 's' and space commands for stopping/starting polled input, shows
9737	  a freerunning clock in the header.  If given a parameter to 's', that
9738	  makes view.c use halfdelay() with that parameter rather than
9739	  nodelay().
9740	+ fix to allow compile with the experimental configure option
9741	  --disable-hashmap.
9742	+ modify postprocess_termcap() to avoid overwriting key_backspace,
9743	  key_left, key_down when processing a non-base entry (report/patch by
9744	  Tom Riddle).
9745	+ modify _nc_wrap_entry(), adding option to reallocate the string
9746	  table, needed in _nc_merge_entry() when merging termcap entries.
9747	  (adapted from report/patch by Tom Riddle <ftr@oracom.com>).
9748	+ modify a few configure script macros to keep $CFLAGS used only for
9749	  compiler options, preprocessor options in $CPPFLAGS.
9750
975120001230
9752	+ correct marker positions in lrtest.c after receiving a sigwinch.
9753	+ fix ifdef's in ncurses.c to build against pre-5.2 for testing.
9754	+ fixes to tclock for resizing behavior, redundant computation (report
9755	  and patch by A M Kuchling <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>).
9756
975720001216
9758	+ improved scoansi terminfo entry -TD
9759	+ modify configure script and makefile in Ada95/src to compile a stub
9760	  for the trace functions when ncurses does not provide those.
9761
976220001209
9763	+ add ncurses_dll.h and related definitions to support generating DLL's
9764	  with cygwin (adapted from a patch by Charles Wilson
9765	  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>, changed NCURSES_EXPORT macro to make it
9766	  work with 'indent') -TD
9767
976820001202
9769	+ correct prototypes for some functions in curs_termcap.3x, matching
9770	  termcap.h, which matches X/Open.
9771	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
9772	+ a revised version of the Ada enhancements sent in by "H.
9773	  Nanosecond", aka Eugene V Melaragno <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>.  This
9774	  patch includes
9775	  - small fixes to the existing ncurses binding
9776	  - addition of some more low-level functions to the binding, including
9777	    termcap and terminfo functions
9778	  - An Ada implementation of the "ncurses" test application originally
9779	    written in C.
9780
978120001125
9782	+ modify logic in lib_setup.c to allow either lines or columns value
9783	  from terminfo to be used if the screen size cannot be determined
9784	  dynamically rather than requiring both (patch by Ehud Karni
9785	  <ehud@unix.simonwiesel.co.il>).
9786	+ add check in lib_tgoto.c's is_termcap() function to reject null or
9787	  empty strings (reported by Valentin Nechayev <netch@netch.kiev.ua> to
9788	  freebsd-bugs).
9789	+ add definition from configure script that denotes the path-separator,
9790	  which is normally a colon.  The path-separator is a semicolon on
9791	  OS/2 EMX and similar systems which may use a colon within pathnames.
9792	+ alter logic to set default for --disable-overwrite option to set it
9793	  to 'yes' if the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr/local, thereby
9794	  accommodating the most common cause of problems: gcc's nonstandard
9795	  search rules.  Other locations such as /usr/local/ncurses will
9796	  default to overwriting (report by Lars Hecking <lhecking@nmrc.ie>).
9797
979820001118
9799	+ modify default for --disable-overwrite configure option to disable
9800	  if the --prefix or $prefix value is not /usr.
9801	+ add cygwin to systems for which ncurses is installed by default into
9802	  /usr rather than /usr/local.
9803
980420001111
9805	+ minor optimization in comp_error.c and lib_termname.c, using
9806	  strncat() to replace strncpy() (patch by Solar Designer).
9807	+ add a use_terminfo_vars() check for $HOME/.termcap, and check for
9808	  geteuid() to use_terminfo_vars() (patch by Solar Designer
9809	  <solar@false.com>).
9810	+ improved cygwin terminfo entry, based on patch by
9811	  <ernie_boyd@yahoo.com>.
9812	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to allow for the possibility that linking
9813	  aliases on a filesystem that ignores case would not succeed because
9814	  the source and destination differ only by case, e.g., NCR260VT300WPP0
9815	  on cygwin (report by Neil Zanella).
9816	+ fix a typo in the curs_deleteln.3x man page (patch by Bernhard
9817	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
9818
981920001104
9820	+ add configure option --with-ospeed to assist packagers in transition
9821	  to 5.3 change to ospeed type.
9822	+ add/use CharOf() macro to suppress sign-extension of char type on
9823	  platforms where this is a problem in ctype macros, e.g., Solaris.
9824	+ change trace output to binary format.
9825	+ correct a missing quote adjustment in CF_PATH_SYNTAX autoconf
9826	  macro, for OS/2 EMX configuration.
9827	+ rearrange a few configure macros, moving preprocessor options to
9828	  $CPPFLAGS (a now-obsolete version of autoconf did not consistently
9829	  use $CPPFLAGS in both the compile and preprocessor checks).
9830	+ add a check in relative_move() to guard against buffer overflow in
9831	  the overwrite logic.
9832
983320001028
9834	+ add message to configure script showing g++ version.
9835	+ resync config.guess, config.sub
9836	+ modify lib_delwin.c, making it return ERR if the window did not exist
9837	  (suggested by Neil Zanella).
9838	+ add cases for FreeBSD 3.1 to tdlint and makellib scripts, used this
9839	  to test/review ncurses library.  (Would use lclint, but it doesn't
9840	  work).
9841	+ reorganized knight.c to avoid forward references.  Correct screen
9842	  updates when backtracking, especially to the first cell.  Add F/B/a
9843	  commands.
9844
984520001021 5.2 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
9846	+ update generated html files from manpages.
9847	+ modify dist.mk to use edit_man.sh to substitute autoconf'd variables
9848	  in html manpages.
9849	+ fix an uninitialized pointer in read_termcap.c (report by Todd C
9850	  Miller, from report/patch by Philip Guenther <guenther@gac.edu>).
9851	+ correct help-message and array limit in knight.c (patch by Brian
9852	  Raiter <breadbox@muppetlabs.com>).
9853	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
9854	+ fix to avoid warning by GNAT-3.13p about use of inconsistent casing
9855	  for some identifiers defined in the standard package.
9856	+ cosmetic change to forms/fty_enum.c
9857
985820001014
9859	+ correct an off-by-one position in test/railroad.c which could cause
9860	  wrapping at the right margin.
9861	+ test/repair some issues with libtool configuration.  Make
9862	  --disable-echo force libtool --silent.  (Libtool does not work for
9863	  OS/2 EMX, works partly for SCO - libtool is still very specific to
9864	  gcc).
9865	+ change default of --with-manpage-tbl to "no", since for most of the
9866	  platforms which do have tbl installed, the system "man" program
9867	  understands how to run tbl automatically.
9868	+ minor improvement to force_bar() in comp_parse.c (Bernhard
9869	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
9870	+ modify lib_tparm.c to use get_space() before writing terminating
9871	  null character, both for consistency as well as to ensure that if
9872	  save_char() was called immediately before, that the allocated memory
9873	  is enough (patch by Sergei Ivanov).
9874	+ add note about termcap ML capability which is duplicated between two
9875	  different capabilities:  smgl and smglr (reported by Sergei Ivanov
9876	  <svivanov@pdmi.ras.ru>).
9877	+ correct parameter counts in include/Caps for dclk as well as some
9878	  printer-specific capabilities: csnm, defc, scs, scsd, smgtp, smglp.
9879	> patch by Johnny C Lam <lamj@stat.cmu.edu>:
9880	+ add support for building with libtool (apparently version 1.3.5,
9881	  since old versions do not handle -L../lib), using new configure
9882	  option --with-libtool.
9883	+ add configure option --with-manpage-tbl, which causes the manpages to
9884	  be preprocessed by tbl(1) prior to installation,
9885	+ add configure option --without-curses-h, which causes the
9886	  installation process to install curses.h as ncurses.h and make
9887	  appropriate changes to headers and manpages.
9888
988920001009
9890	+ correct order of options/parameters in run_tic.in invocation of tic,
9891	  which did not work with standard getopt() (reported by Ethan
9892	  Butterfield <primus@veris.org>).
9893	+ correct logic for 'reverse' variable in lib_vidattr.c, which was
9894	  setting it true without checking if newmode had A_REVERSE set, e.g.,
9895	  using $TERM=ansi on OS/2 EMX (see 20000917).
9896	> patch by Todd C Miller:
9897	+ add a few missing use_terminfo_vars() and fixes up _nc_tgetent().
9898	  Previously, _nc_cgetset() would still get called on cp so the
9899	  simplest thing is to set cp to NULL if !use_terminfo_vars().
9900	+ added checks for an empty $HOME environment variable.
9901	> patches for OS/2 EMX (Ilya Zakharevich):
9902	+ modify convert_configure.pl to support INSTALL.  Change compiler
9903	  options in that script to use multithreading, needed for the mouse.
9904	+ modify OS/2 mouse support, retrying as a 2-button mouse if code fails
9905	  to set up a 3-button mouse.
9906	+ improve code for OS/2 mouse support, using _nc_timed_wait() to
9907	  replace select() call.
9908
990920001007
9910	+ change type of ospeed variable back to short to match its use in
9911	  legacy applications (reported by Andrey A Chernov).
9912	+ add case to configure script for --enable-rpath on IRIX (patch by
9913	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
9914	+ minor fix to position_check() function, to ensure it gets the whole
9915	  cursor report before decoding.
9916	+ add configure option --disable-assumed-color, to allow pre-5.1
9917	  convention of default colors used for color-pair 0 to be configured
9918	  (see assume_default_colors()).
9919	+ rename configure option --enable-hashmap --disable-hashmap, and
9920	  reorder the configure options, splitting the experimental and
9921	  development
9922	+ add configure option --disable-root-environ, which tells ncurses to
9923	  disregard $TERMINFO and similar environment variables if the current
9924	  user is root, or running setuid/setgid (based on discussion with
9925	  several people).
9926	+ modified misc/run_tic.in to use tic -o, to eliminate dependency on
9927	  $TERMINFO variable for installs.
9928	+ add table entry for plab_norm to tput, so it passes in strings
9929	  for that capability.
9930	+ modify parse_format() in lib_tparm.c to ignore precision if it is
9931	  longer than 10000 (report by Jouko Pynnonen).
9932	+ rewrote limit checks in lib_mvcur.c using new functions
9933	  _nc_safe_strcat(), etc.  Made other related changes to check lengths
9934	  used for strcat/strcpy (report by Jouko Pynnonen
9935	  <jouko@solutions.fi>).
9936
993720000930
9938	+ modify several descriptions, including those for setaf, setab, in
9939	  include/Caps to indicate that the entries are parameterized.  This
9940	  information is used to tell which strings are translated when
9941	  converting to termcap.  Fixes a problem where the generated termcap
9942	  would contain a spurious "%p1" for the terminfo "%p1%d".
9943	+ modify ld -rpath options (e.g., Linux, and Solaris) to use an
9944	  absolute pathname for the build tree's lib directory (prompted by
9945	  discussion with Albert Chin-A-Young).
9946	+ modify "make install.man" and "make uninstall.man" to include tack's
9947	  man-page.
9948	+ various fixes for install scripts used to support configure --srcdir
9949	  and --with-install-prefix (reported by Matthew Clarke
9950	  <Matthew_Clarke@mindlink.bc.ca>).
9951	+ make configure script checks on variables $GCC and $GXX consistently
9952	  compare against 'yes' rather than test if they are nonnull, since
9953	  either may be set to the corresponding name of the C or C++ compiler
9954	  (report/patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
9955
995620000923
9957	+ modify rs2 capability in xterm-r6 and similar where cursor
9958	  save/restore bracketed the sequence for resetting video attributes.
9959	  The cursor restore would undo that (report by John Hawkinson
9960	  <jhawk@MIT.EDU> (see NetBSD misc/11052)).
9961	+ using parameter check added to tic, corrected 27 typos in
9962	  terminfo.src -TD
9963	+ modify tic to verify that its inputs are really files, in case
9964	  someone tries to read a directory (or /dev/zero).
9965	+ add a check for empty buffers returned by fgets() in comp_scan.c
9966	  next_char() function, in case tic is run on a non-text file (fixes
9967	  a core dump reported by Aaron Campbell <aaron@cs.dal.ca>).
9968	+ add to railroad.c some code exercising tgoto(), providing an
9969	  alternate form of display if the terminal supports cursor addressing.
9970	+ split-out tgoto() again, this time into new file lib_tgoto.c, and
9971	  implement a conventional BSD-style tgoto() which is used if the
9972	  capability string does not contain terminfo-style padding or
9973	  parameters (requested by Andrey A Chernov).
9974	+ add check to tic which reports capabilities that do not reference
9975	  the expected number of parameters.
9976	+ add error checking to infocmp's -v and -m options to ensure that
9977	  the option value is indeed a number.
9978	+ some cleanup of logic in _nc_signal_handler() to verify if SIGWINCH
9979	  handler is setup.  Separated the old/new sigaction data for SIGTSTP
9980	  from the other signals.
9981
998220000917
9983	+ add S0, E0 extensions to screen's terminfo entry, which is another
9984	  way to solve the misconfiguration issue -TD
9985	+ completed special case for tgoto from 20000916
9986
998720000916
9988	+ update xterm terminfo entries to match XFree86 xterm patch #146 -TD
9989	+ add Matrix Orbital terminfo entries (from Eric Z Ayers
9990	  <eric@ale.org>).
9991	+ add special case to lib_tparm.c to allow 'screen' program to use a
9992	  termcap-style parameter "%." to tgoto() for switching character sets.
9993	+ use LN_S substitution in run_tic.in, to work on OS/2 EMX which has
9994	  no symbolic links.
9995	+ updated notes in README.emx regarding autoconf patches.
9996	+ replace a lookup table in lib_vidattr.c used to decode no_color_video
9997	  with a logic expression (suggested by Philippe Blain).
9998	+ add a/A toggle to ncurses.c 'b' test, which clears/sets alternate
9999	  character set attribute from the displayed text.
10000	+ correct inequality in parameter analysis of rewritten lib_tparm.c
10001	  which had the effect of ignoring p9 in set_attributes (sgr), breaking
10002	  alternate character set (reported by Piotr Majka <charvel@link.pl>).
10003	+ correct ifdef'ing for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF which would not compile
10004	  with Sun WorkShop compilers since these tokens were empty (cf:
10005	  20000902, reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
10006
1000720000909
10008	+ correct an uninitialized parameter to open_tempfile() in tic.c which
10009	  made "tic -I" give an ambiguous error message about tmpnam.
10010	+ add special case in lib_vidattr.c to reset underline and standout for
10011	  devices that have no sgr0 defined (patch by Don Lewis
10012	  <Don.Lewis@tsc.tdk.com>).  Note that this will not work for bold
10013	  mode, since there is no exit-bold-mode capability.
10014	+ improved patch for Make_Enum_Type (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10015	+ modify tparm to disallow arithmetic on strings, analyze the varargs
10016	  list to read strings as strings and numbers as numbers.
10017	+ modify tparm's internal function spop() to treat a null pointer as
10018	  an empty string.
10019	+ modify tput program so it can be renamed or invoked via a link as
10020	  'reset' or 'init', producing the same effect as 'tput reset' or 'tput
10021	  init'.
10022	+ add private entrypoint _nc_basename(), use to consolidate related
10023	  code in progs, as well as accommodating OS/2 EMX pathnames.
10024	+ remove NCURSES_CONST line from edit_cfg.sh to compensate for its
10025	  removal (except via AC_SUBST) from configure.in, making
10026	  --enable-const work again (reported by Juergen Pfeifer).
10027	+ regen'd configure to pick up "hpux*" change from 20000902.
10028
1002920000902
10030	+ modify tset.c to check for transformed "reset" program name, if any.
10031	+ add a check for null pointer in Make_Enum_Type() (reported by Steven
10032	  W Orr <steveo@world.std.com>).
10033	+ change functions _nc_parse_entry() and postprocess_termcap() to avoid
10034	  using strtok(), because it is non-reentrant (reported by Andrey A
10035	  Chernov <ache@nagual.pp.ru>).
10036	+ remove "hpux10.*" case from CF_SHARED_OPTS configure script macro.
10037	  This differed from the "hpux*" case by using reversed symbolic
10038	  links, which made the 5.1 version not match the configuration of
10039	  5.0 shared libraries (reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
10040	+ correct a dependency in Ada95/src/Makefile.in which prevented
10041	  building with configure --srcdir (patch by H Nanosecond
10042	  <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>).
10043	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in to avoid warning if GCC_PRINTF or
10044	  GCC_SCANF was not previously defined (reported by Pavel Roskin
10045	  <proski@gnu.org>).
10046	+ add MKncurses_def.sh to generate fallback definitions for
10047	  ncurses_cfg.h, to quiet gcc -Wundef warnings, modified ifdef's in
10048	  code to consistently use "#if" rather than "#ifdef".
10049
1005020000826
10051	+ add QNX qansi entries to terminfo -TD
10052	+ add os2 entry to misc/emx.src (<jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
10053	+ add configure option --with-database to allow specifying a different
10054	  terminfo source-file to install.  On OS/2 EMX, this defaults to
10055	  misc/emx.src
10056	+ change misc/run_tic.sh to derive it from misc/run_tic.in, to simplify
10057	  setting .exe extension on OS/2 EMX.
10058	+ add .exe extension in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in,
10059	  Ada95/samples/Makefile.in, for OS/2 EMX (reported by
10060	  <jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
10061	+ add configure check for filesystems (such as OS/2 EMX) which do not
10062	  distinguish between upper/lowercase filenames, use this to fix tags
10063	  rules in makefiles.
10064	+ initialize fds[] array to 0's in _nc_timed_wait(); apparently poll()
10065	  only sets the revents members of that array when there is activity
10066	  corresponding to the related file (report by Glenn Cooper
10067	  <gcooper@qantas.com.au>, using Purify on Solaris 5.6).
10068	+ change configure script to use AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM rather than
10069	  AC_CANONICAL_HOST, which means that configure --target will set
10070	  a default program-prefix.
10071	+ add note on cross-compiling to INSTALL (which does not rely on the
10072	  AC_CANONICAL_* macros).
10073
1007420000819
10075	+ add cases for EMX OS/2 to config.guess, config.sub
10076	+ new version of config.guess, config.sub from lynx 2.8.4dev.7
10077	+ add definitions via transform.h to allow tic and tput to check for
10078	  the transformed aliases rather than the original infotocap, etc.
10079	+ simplify transform-expressions in progs/Makefile.in, make the
10080	  uninstall rule work for transformed program names.
10081	+ change symbol used by --install-prefix configure option from
10082	  INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR (the latter has become common usage
10083	  although the name is misleading).
10084	+ modify programs to use curses_version() string to report the version
10085	  of ncurses with which they are compiled rather than the
10086	  NCURSES_VERSION string.  The function returns the patch level in
10087	  addition to the major and minor version numbers.
10088
1008920000812
10090	+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to make transformed program names
10091	  a parameter to that macro rather than embedding them in the macro.
10092	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in lynx
10093	  2.8.4dev.7).
10094	+ add configure option --with-default-terminfo-dir=DIR to allow
10095	  specifying the default terminfo database directory (request by Albert
10096	  Chin-A-Young).
10097	+ minor updates for terminfo.src from FreeBSD termcap change-history.
10098	+ correct notes in README and INSTALL regarding documentation files
10099	  that were moved from misc directory to doc (report by Rich Kulawiec
10100	  <rsk@gsp.org>).
10101	+ change most remaining unquoted parameters of 'test' in configure
10102	  script to use quotes, for instance fixing a problem in the
10103	  --disable-database option (reported by Christian Mondrup
10104	  <scancm@biobase.dk>).
10105	+ minor adjustments to work around some of the incompatibilities/bugs
10106	  in autoconf 2.29a alpha.
10107	+ add -I/usr/local/include when --with-ncurses option is used in
10108	  test/configure script.
10109	+ correct logic in adjust_cancels(), which did not check both
10110	  alternatives when reclassifying an extended name between boolean,
10111	  number and string, causing an infinite loop in tic.
10112
1011320000730
10114	+ correct a missing backslash in curses.priv.h
10115
1011620000729
10117	+ change handling of non_dest_scroll_region in tty_update.c to clear
10118	  text after it is shifted in rather than before shifting out.  Also
10119	  correct row computation (reported by Ruediger Kuhlmann
10120	  <uck4@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>).
10121	+ add/use new trace function to display chtype values from winch() and
10122	  getbkgd().
10123	+ add trace mask TRACE_ATTRS, alter several existing _tracef calls that
10124	  trace attribute changes under TRACE_CALLS to use this.
10125	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh so that functions returning chtype will call
10126	  returnChar().
10127	+ add returnChar() trace, for functions returning chtype.
10128	+ change indent.pro to line up parenthesis.
10129
1013020000722
10131	+ fix a heap problem with the c++ binding (report by
10132	  <alexander_liberson@ninewest.com>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10133	+ minor adjustment to ClrToEOL() to handle an out-of-bounds parameter.
10134	+ modify the check for big-core to force a couple of memory accesses,
10135	  which may work as needed for older/less-capable machines (if not,
10136	  there's still the explicit configure option).
10137	> fixes based on diff's for Amiga and BeOS found at
10138	  http://www.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~kuhlmann/cross/ncurses/
10139	+ alter definition of NCURSES_CONST to make it non-empty.
10140	+ add amiga-vnc terminfo entry.
10141	+ redefine 'TEXT' in menu.h for AMIGA, since it is reported to have
10142	  an (unspecified) symbol conflict.
10143	+ replaced case-statement in _nc_tracebits() for CSIZE with a table to
10144	  simplify working around implementations that define random
10145	  combinations of the related macros to zero.
10146	+ modify configure test for tcgetattr() to allow for old
10147	  implementations, e.g., on BeOS, which only defined it as a macro.
10148	> patches by Bruno Haible:
10149	+ when checking LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG environment variables for UTF-8
10150	  locale, ignore those which are set to an empty value, as per SUSV2.
10151	+ encode 0xFFFD in UTF-8 with 3 bytes, not 2.
10152	+ modify _nc_utf8_outch() to avoid sign-extension when checking for
10153	  out-of-range value.
10154
1015520000715
10156	+ correct manlinks.sed script to avoid using ERE "\+", which is not
10157	  understood by older versions of sed (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
10158	+ implement configure script options that transform installed program
10159	  names, e.g., --program-prefix, including the manpage names and cross
10160	  references (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>).
10161	+ correct several mismatches between manpage filename and ".TH"
10162	  directives, renaming dft_fgbg.3x to default_colors.3x and
10163	  menu_attribs.3x to menu_attributes.3x (report by Todd C Miller).
10164	+ correct missing includes for <string.h> in several places, including
10165	  the C++ binding.  This is not noted by gcc unless we use the
10166	  -fno-builtin option (reported by Igor Schein <igor@txc.com>).
10167	+ modified progs/tset.c and tack/sysdep.c to build with sgttyb
10168	  interface if neither termio or termios is available.  Tested this
10169	  with FreeBSD 2.1.5 (which does have termios - but the sgttyb does
10170	  work).
10171
1017220000708 5.1 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
10173	+ document configure options in INSTALL.
10174	+ add man-page for ncurses trace functions.
10175	+ correct return value shown in curs_touch.3x for is_linetouched() and
10176	  is_wintouched(), in curs_initscr.3x for isendwin(), and in
10177	  curs_termattr.3x for has_ic() and has_il().
10178	+ add prototypes for touchline() and touchwin(), adding them to the
10179	  list of generated functions.
10180	+ modify fifo_push() to put ERR into the fifo just like other values to
10181	  return from wgetch().  It was returning without doing that, making
10182	  end-of-file condition incorrectly return a 0 (reported by Todd C
10183	  Miller).
10184	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS for progs and tack (see 971115), since they
10185	  are needed for SCO OpenServer.
10186	+ move _nc_disable_period from free_ttype.c to comp_scan.c to appease
10187	  dynamic loaders on SCO and IRIX64.
10188	+ add "-a" option to test/ncurses.c to invoke assume_default_colors()
10189	  for testing.
10190	+ correct assignment in assume_default_colors() which tells ncurses
10191	  whether to use default colors, or the assumed ones (reported by Gary
10192	  Funck <gary@Intrepid.Com>).
10193	+ review/correct logic in mk-1st.awk for making symbolic links for
10194	  shared libraries, in particular for FreeBSD, etc.
10195	+ regenerate misc/*.def files for OS/2 EMX dll's.
10196	+ correct quoting of values for CC_SHARED_OPTS in aclocal.m4 for
10197	  cases openbsd2*, openbsd*, freebsd* and netbsd* (patch by Peter
10198	  Wemm) (err in 20000610).
10199	+ minor updates to release notes, as well as adding/updating URLs for
10200	  examples cited in announce.html
10201	> several fixes from Philippe Blain <philippe.blain2@freesbee.fr>:
10202	+ correct placement of ifdef for NCURSES_XNAMES in function
10203	  _nc_free_termtype(), fixes a memory leak.
10204	+ add a call to _nc_synchook() to the end of function whline() like
10205	  that in wvline() (difference was in 1.9.4).
10206	+ make ClearScreen() a little faster by moving two instances of
10207	  UpdateAttr() out of for-loops.
10208	+ simplify ClrBottom() by eliminating the tstLine data, using for-loops
10209	  (cf: 960428).
10210
1021120000701 pre-release
10212	+ change minor version to 1, i.e., ncurses 5.1
10213	+ add experimental configure option --enable-colorfgbg to check for
10214	  $COLORFGBG variable as set by rxvt/aterm/Eterm.
10215	+ add Eterm terminfo entry (Michael Jennings <mej@valinux.com>).
10216	+ modify manlinks.sed to pick aliases from the SYNOPSIS section, and
10217	  several manpages so manlinks.sed can find aliases for creating
10218	  symbolic links.
10219	+ add explanation to run_tic.sh regarding extended terminal
10220	  capabilities.
10221	+ change message format for edit_cfg.sh, since some people interpret
10222	  it as a warning.
10223	+ correct unescaped '$' in sysv5uw7*|unix_sv* rule for CF_SHARED_OPTS
10224	  configure macro (report by Thanh Ma <Thanh.Ma@casi-rusco.com>).
10225	+ correct logic in lib_twait.c as used by lib_mouse.c for GPM mouse
10226	  support when poll() is used rather than select() (prompted by
10227	  discussion with David Allen <DAllen24@aol.com>).
10228
1022920000624 pre-release
10230	+ modify TransformLine() to check for cells with different color pairs
10231	  that happen to render the same display colors.
10232	+ apply $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to cost-computation in mvcur().
10233	+ improve cost computation in PutRange() by accounting for the use
10234	  of parm_right_cursor in mvcur().
10235	+ correct cost computation in EmitRange(), which was not using the
10236	  normalized value for cursor_address.
10237	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in TIN 1.5.6).
10238
1023920000617
10240	+ update config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in PCRE 3.2).
10241	+ resync changes to gnathtml against version 1.22, regenerated html
10242	  files under doc/html/ada using this (1.22.1.1).
10243	+ regenerated html files under doc/html/man after correcting top and
10244	  bottom margin options for man2html in dist.mk
10245	+ minor fixes to test programs ncurses 'i' and testcurs program to make
10246	  the subwindow's background color cover the subwindow.
10247	+ modify configure script so AC_MSG_ERROR is temporarily defined to a
10248	  warning in AC_PROG_CXX to make it recover from a missing C++ compiler
10249	  without requiring user to add --without-cxx option (adapted from
10250	  comment by Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> to autoconf mailing list).
10251	+ modify headers.sh to avoid creating temporary files in the build
10252	  directory when installing headers (reported by Sergei Pokrovsky
10253	  <pok@nbsp.nsk.su>)
10254
1025520000610
10256	+ regenerated the html files under doc/html/ada/files and
10257	  doc/html/ada/funcs with a slightly-improved gnathtml.
10258	+ add kmous capability to linux terminfo entry to allow it to use
10259	  xterm-style events provided by gpm patch by Joerg Schoen.
10260	+ make the configure macro CF_SHARED_OPTS a little smarter by testing
10261	  if -fPIC is supported by gcc rather than -fpic.  The former option
10262	  allows larger symbol tables.
10263	+ update config.guess and config.sub (patches by
10264	  Kevin Buettner <kev@primenet.com> (for elf64_ia64),
10265	  Bernd Kuemmerlen <bkuemmer@mevis.de> (for MacOS X)).
10266	+ add warning for 'tic -cv' about use of '^?' in terminfo source, which
10267	  is an extension.
10268
1026920000527
10270	+ modify echo() behavior of getch() to match Solaris curses for
10271	  carriage return and backspace (reported by Neil Zanella).
10272	+ change _nc_flush() to a function.
10273	+ modify delscreen() to check if the output stream has been closed, and
10274	  if so, free the buffer allocated for setbuf (this provides an
10275	  ncurses-specific way to avoid a memory leak when repeatedly calling
10276	  newterm reported by Chipp C <at_1@zdnetonebox.com>).
10277	+ correct typo in curs_getch.3x manpage regarding noecho (reported by
10278	  David Malone <dwmalone@maths.tcd.ie>).
10279	+ add a "make libs" rule.
10280	+ make the Ada95 interface build with configure --enable-widec.
10281	+ if the configure --enable-widec option is given, append 'w' to names
10282	  of the generated libraries (e.g., libncursesw.so) to avoid conflict
10283	  with existing ncurses libraries.
10284
1028520000520
10286	+ modify view.c to make a rudimentary viewer of UTF-8 text if ncurses
10287	  is configured with the experimental wide-character support.
10288	+ add a simple UTF-8 output driver to the experimental wide-character
10289	  support.  If any of the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or
10290	  LANG contain the string "UTF-8", this driver will be used to
10291	  translate the output to UTF-8.  This works with XFree86 xterm.
10292	+ modify configure script to allow building shared libraries on BeOS
10293	  (from a patch by Valeriy E Ushakov).
10294	+ modify lib_addch.c to allow repeated update to the lower-right
10295	  corner, rather than displaying only the first character written until
10296	  the cursor is moved.  Recent versions of SVr4 curses can update the
10297	  lower-right corner, and behave this way (reported by Neil Zanella).
10298	+ add a limit-check in _nc_do_color(), to avoid using invalid color
10299	  pair value (report by Brendan O'Dea <bod@compusol.com.au>).
10300
1030120000513
10302	+ the tack program knows how to use smcup and rmcup but the "show caps
10303	  that can be tested" feature did not reflect this knowledge.  Correct
10304	  the display in the menu tack/test/edit/c (patch by Daniel Weaver).
10305	+ xterm-16color does allow bold+colors, removed ncv#32 from that
10306	  terminfo entry.
10307
1030820000506
10309	+ correct assignment to SP->_has_sgr_39_49 in lib_dft_fgbg.c, which
10310	  broke check for screen's AX capability (reported by Valeriy E Ushakov
10311	  <uwe@ptc.spbu.ru>).
10312	+ change man2html rule in dist.mk to workaround bug in some
10313	  man-programs that ignores locale when rendering hyphenation.
10314	+ change web- and ftp-site to dickey.his.com
10315
1031620000429
10317	+ move _nc_curr_token from parse_entry.c to comp_scan.c, to work around
10318	  problem linking tack on MacOS X DP3.
10319	+ include <sys/time.h> in lib_napms.c to compile on MacOS X DP3
10320	  (reported by Gerben Wierda <wierda@holmes.nl>).
10321	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to check for ncv fixes when pair-0 is not
10322	  default colors.
10323	+ add -d option to ncurses.c, to turn on default-colors for testing.
10324	+ add a check to _nc_makenew() to ensure that newwin() and newpad()
10325	  calls do not silently fail by passing too-large limits.
10326	+ add symbol NCURSES_SIZE_T to use rather than explicit 'short' for
10327	  internal window and pad sizes.  Note that since this is visible in
10328	  the WINDOW struct, it would be an ABI change to make this an 'int'
10329	  (prompted by a question by Bastian Trompetter
10330	  <btrompetter@firemail.de>, who attempted to create a 96000-line pad).
10331
1033220000422
10333	+ add mgterm terminfo entry from NetBSD, minor adjustments to sun-ss5,
10334	  aixterm entries -TD
10335	+ modify tack/ansi.c to make it more tolerant of bad ANSI replies.  An
10336	  example of an illegal ANSI resonse can be found using Microsoft's
10337	  Telnet client.  A correct display can be found using a VT-4xx
10338	  terminal or XFree86 xterm with:
10339		XTerm*VT100*decTerminalID:  450
10340	  (patch by Daniel Weaver).
10341	+ modify gdc.c to recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' '
10342	  for resume.  Add '-n' option to force gdc's standard input to
10343	  /dev/null, to both illustrate the use of newterm() for specifying
10344	  alternate inputs as well as for testing signal handling.
10345	+ minor fix for configure option --with-manpage-symlinks, for target
10346	  directories that contain a period ('.') (reported by Larry Virden).
10347
1034820000415
10349	+ minor additions to beterm entry (feedback from Rico Tudor) -TD
10350	+ corrections/updates for some IBM terminfo entries -TD
10351	+ modify _nc_screen_wrap() so that when exiting curses mode with
10352	  non-default colors, the last line on the screen will be cleared to
10353	  the screen's default colors (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
10354	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' example to set nonl(), allowing control/M to be
10355	  read for demonstrating the REQ_NEW_LINE operation (prompted by a
10356	  question by Tony L Keith <tlkeith@keithconsulting.com>).
10357	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' example of field_info() to work on Solaris 2.7,
10358	  documented extension of ncurses which allows a zero pointer.
10359	+ modify fmt_complex() to avoid buffer overflow in case of excess
10360	  recursion, and to recognize "%e%?" as a synonym for else-if, which
10361	  means that it will not recur for that special case.
10362	+ add logic to support $TERMCAP variable in case the USE_GETCAP symbol
10363	  is defined (patch by Todd C Miller).
10364	+ modify one of the m4 files used to generate the Ada95 sources,
10365	  to avoid using the token "symbols" (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10366
1036720000408
10368	+ add terminfo entries bsdos-pc-m, bsdos-pc-mono (Jeffrey C Honig)
10369	+ correct spelling error in terminfo entry name:  bq300-rv was given as
10370	  bg300-rv in esr's version.
10371	+ modify redrawwin() macro so its parameter is fully parenthesized
10372	  (fixes Debian #61088).
10373	+ correct formatting error in dump_entry() which set incorrect column
10374	  value when no newline trimming was needed at the end of an entry,
10375	  before appending "use=" clauses (cf: 960406).
10376
1037720000401
10378	+ add configure option --with-manpage-symlinks
10379	+ change unctrl() to render C1 characters (128-159) as ~@, ~A, etc.
10380	+ change makefiles so trace() function is provided only if TRACE is
10381	  defined, e.g., in the debug library.  Modify related calls to
10382	  _tracechar() to use unctrl() instead.
10383
1038420000325
10385	+ add screen's AX capability (for ECMA SGR 39 and 49) to applicable
10386	  terminfo entries, use presence of this as a check for a small
10387	  improvement in setting default colors.
10388	+ improve logic in _nc_do_color() implementing assume_default_colors()
10389	  by passing in previous color pair info to eliminate redundant call to
10390	  set_original_colors().  (Part of this is from a patch by Alexander
10391	  V Lukyanov).
10392	+ modify warning in _nc_trans_string() about a possibly too-long string
10393	  to do this once only rather than for each character past the
10394	  threshold (600).  Change interface of _nc_trans_string() to allow
10395	  check for buffer overflow.
10396	+ correct use of memset in _nc_read_entry_source() to initialize ENTRY
10397	  struct each time before reading new data into it, rather than once
10398	  per loop (cf:  990301).  This affects multi-entry in-core operations
10399	  such as "infocmp -Fa".
10400
1040120000319
10402	+ remove a spurious pointer increment in _nc_infotocap() changes from
10403	  20000311.  Add check for '.' in format of number, since that also
10404	  is not permitted in termcap.
10405	+ correct typo in rxvt-basic terminfo from temporary change made while
10406	  integrating 20000318.
10407
1040820000318
10409	+ revert part of the vt220 change (request by Todd C Miller).
10410	+ add ansi-* terminfo entries from ESR's version.
10411	+ add -a option to tic and infocmp, which retains commented-out
10412	  capabilities during source translation/comparison, e.g., captoinfo
10413	  and infotocap.
10414	+ modify cardfile.c to display an empty card if no input data file is
10415	  found, fixes a core dump in that case (reported by Bruno Haible).
10416	+ correct bracketing in CF_MATH_LIB configure macro, which gave wrong
10417	  result for OS/2 EMX.
10418	+ supply required parameter for _nc_resolve_uses() call in
10419	  read_termcap.c, overlooked in 20000311 (reported by Todd C Miller).
10420	> patches by Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>:
10421	+ fix a compiler warning in fty_enum.c
10422	+ correct LIB_PREFIX expression for DEPS_CURSES in progs, tack
10423	  makefiles, which resulted in redundant linking (cf: 20000122).
10424
1042520000311
10426	+ make ifdef's for BROKEN_LINKER consistent (patch by Todd C Miller).
10427	+ improved tack/README (patch by Daniel Weaver).
10428	+ modify tput.c to ensure that unspecified parameters are passed to
10429	  tparm() as 0's.
10430	+ add a few checks in infocmp to guard against buffer overflow when
10431	  displaying string capabilities.
10432	+ add check for zero-uses in infocmp's file_comparison() function
10433	  before calling _nc_align_termtype().  Otherwise one parameter is
10434	  indexed past the end of the uses-array.
10435	+ add an option -q to infocmp to specify the less verbose output,
10436	  keeping the existing format as the default, though not retaining the
10437	  previous behavior that made the -F option compare each entry to
10438	  itself.
10439	+ adapted patch by ESR to make infocmp -F less verbose -TD
10440	  (the submitted patch was unusable because it did not compile
10441	  properly)
10442	  + modify write_entry.c to ensure that absent or cancelled booleans
10443	    are written as FALSE, for consistency with infocmp which now
10444	    assumes this.  Note that for the small-core configuration, tic
10445	    may not produce the same result as before.
10446	  + change some private library interfaces used by infocmp, e.g.,
10447	    _nc_resolve_uses().
10448	  + add a check in _nc_infotocap() to ensure that cm-style capabilities
10449	    accept only %d codes when converting the format from terminfo to
10450	    termcap.
10451	  + modify ENTRY struct to separate the data in 'parent' into the name
10452	    and link values (the original idea to merge both into 'parent' was
10453	    not good).
10454	  + discard repair_acsc(tterm);
10455	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
10456	+ drop support for gnat 3.10
10457	+ move generated documentation and html files under ./doc directory,
10458	  adding makefile rules for this to dist.mk
10459
1046020000304
10461	+ correct conflicting use of tparm() in 20000226 change to tic, which
10462	  made it check only one entry at a time.
10463	+ fix errors in ncurses-intro.html and hackguide.html shown by Dave
10464	  Raggett's tidy.
10465	+ make the example in ncurses-intro.html do something plausible, and
10466	  corrected misleading comment (reported by Neil Zanella).
10467	+ modify pnoutrefresh() to set newscr->_leaveok as wnoutrefresh() does,
10468	  to fix a case where the cursor position was not updated as in
10469	  Solaris  (patch by David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>).
10470	+ add a limit-check for wresize() to ensure that a subwindow does not
10471	  address out of bounds.
10472	+ correct offsets used for subwindows in wresize() (patch by Michael
10473	  Andres <ma@suse.de>).
10474	+ regenerate html'ized manual pages with man2html 3.0.1 (patch by
10475	  Juergen Pfeifer).  This generated a file with a space in its name,
10476	  which I removed.
10477	+ fix a few spelling errors in tack.
10478	+ modify tack/Makefile.in to match linker options of progs/Makefile.in;
10479	  otherwise it does not build properly for older HPUX shared library
10480	  configurations.
10481	+ add several terminfo entries from esr's "11.0".
10482
1048320000226
10484	+ make 'tput flash' work properly for xterm by flushing output in
10485	  delay_output() when using napms(), and modifying xterm's terminfo to
10486	  specify no padding character.  Otherwise, xterm's reported baud rate
10487	  can mislead ncurses into producing too few padding characters
10488	  (Debian #58530).
10489	+ add a check to tic for consistency between sgr and the separate
10490	  capabilities such as smso, use this to check/correct several
10491	  terminfo entries (Debian #58530).
10492	+ add a check to tic if cvvis is the same as cnorm, adjusted several
10493	  terminfo entries to remove the conflict (Debian #58530).
10494	+ correct prototype shown in attr_set()/wattr_set() manpages (fixes
10495	  Debian #53962).
10496	+ minor clarification for curs_set() and leaveok() manpages.
10497	+ use mkstemp() for creating temporary file for tic's processing of
10498	  $TERMCAP contents (fixes Debian #56465).
10499	+ correct two errors from integrating Alexander's changes:  did not
10500	  handle the non-bce case properly in can_erase_with() (noted by
10501	  Alexander), and left fg/bg uninitialized in the pair-zero case of
10502	  _nc_do_color() (reported by Dr Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> and
10503	  Ismael Cordeiro <ismael@cordeiro.com>).
10504
1050520000219
10506	+ store default-color code consistently as C_MASK, even if given as
10507	  -1 for convenience (adapted from patches by Alexander V Lukyanov).
10508	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
10509	+ change can_clear_with() macro to accommodate logic for
10510	  assume_default_colors(), making most of the FILL_BCE logic
10511	  unnecessary.  Made can_clear_with() an inline function to make it
10512	  simpler to read.
10513
1051420000212
10515	+ corrected form of recent copyright dates.
10516	+ minor corrections to xterm-xf86-v333 terminfo entry -TD
10517	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
10518	+ reworded dft_fgbg.3x to avoid assuming that the terminal's default
10519	  colors are white on black.
10520	+ fix initialization of tstLine so that it is filled with current blank
10521	  character in any case.  Previously it was possible to have it filled
10522	  with old blank.  The wrong over-optimization was introduced in 991002
10523	  patch.  (it is not very critical as the only bad effect is not using
10524	  clr_eos for clearing if blank has changed).
10525
1052620000205
10527	+ minor corrections/updates to several terminfo entries: rxvt-basic,
10528	  vt520, vt525, ibm5151, xterm-xf86-v40 -TD
10529	+ modify ifdef's for poll() to allow it to use <sys/poll.h>, thereby
10530	  allowing poll() to be used on Linux.
10531	+ add CF_FUNC_POLL macro to check if poll() is able to select from
10532	  standard input.  If not we will not use it, preferring select()
10533	  (adapted from patch by Michael Pakovic <mpakovic@fdn.com>).
10534	+ update CF_SHARED_OPTS macro for SCO Unixware 7.1 to allow building
10535	  shared libraries (reported/tested by Thanh <thanhma@mediaone.net>).
10536	+ override $LANGUAGE in build to avoid incorrect ordering of keynames.
10537	+ correct CF_MATH_LIB parameter, must be sin(x), not sqrt(x).
10538
1053920000122
10540	+ resync CF_CHECK_ERRNO and CF_LIB_PREFIX macros from tin and xterm -TD
10541	+ modify CF_MATH_LIB configure macro to parameterize the test function
10542	  used, for reuse in dialog and similar packages.
10543	+ correct tests for file-descriptors in OS/2 EMX mouse support.  A
10544	  negative value could be used by FD_SET, causing the select() call
10545	  to wait indefinitely.
10546
1054720000115
10548	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of delete_character)
10549	  to work when assume_default_colors() is not specified.
10550	+ modify warning message from _nc_parse_entry() regarding extended
10551	  capability names to print only if tic/infocmp/toe have the -v flag
10552	  set, and not at all in ordinary user applications.  Otherwise, this
10553	  warning would be shown for screen's extended capabilities in programs
10554	  that use the termcap interface (reported by Todd C Miller).
10555	+ modify use of _nc_tracing from programs such as tic so their debug
10556	  level is not in the same range as values set by trace() function.
10557	+ small panel header cleanup (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10558	+ add 'railroad' demo for termcap interface.
10559	+ modify 'tic' to write its usage message to stderr (patch by Todd C
10560	  Miller).
10561
1056220000108
10563	+ add prototype for erase() to curses.h.in, needed to make test
10564	  programs build with c++/g++.
10565	+ add .c.i and .c.h suffix rules to generated makefiles, for debugging.
10566	+ correct install rule for tack.1; it assumed that file was in the
10567	  current directory (reported by Mike Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com>).
10568	+ modify terminfo/termcap translation to suppress acsc before trying
10569	  sgr if the entry would be too large (patch by Todd C Miller).
10570	+ document a special case of incompatibility between ncurses 4.2 and
10571	  5.0, add a section for this in INSTALL.
10572	+ add TRACE_DATABASE flag for trace().
10573
1057420000101
10575	+ update mach, add mach-color terminfo entries based on Debian diffs
10576	  for ncurses 5.0 -TD
10577	+ add entries for xterm-hp, xterm-vt220, xterm-vt52 and xterm-noapp
10578	  terminfo entries -TD
10579	+ change OTrs capabilities to rs2 in terminfo.src -TD
10580	+ add obsolete and extended capabilities to 'screen' terminfo -TD
10581	+ corrected conversion from terminfo rs2 to termcap rs (cf: 980704)
10582	+ make conversion to termcap ug (underline glitch) more consistently
10583	  applied.
10584	+ fix out-of-scope use of 'personal[]' buffer in 'toe' (this error
10585	  was in the original pre-1.9.7 version, when $HOME/.terminfo was
10586	  introduced).
10587	+ modify 'toe' to ignore terminfo directories to which it has no
10588	  permissions.
10589	+ modify read_termtype(), fixing 'toe', which could dump core when it
10590	  found an incomplete entry such as "dumb" because it did not
10591	  initialize its buffer for _nc_read_file_entry().
10592	+ use -fPIC rather than -fpic for shared libraries on Linux, not
10593	  needed for i386 but some ports (from Debian diffs for 5.0) -TD
10594	+ use explicit VALID_NUMERIC() checks in a few places that had been
10595	  overlooked, and add a check to ensure that init_tabs is nonzero,
10596	  to avoid divide-by-zero (reported by Todd C Miller).
10597	+ minor fix for CF_ANSI_CC_CHECK configure macro, for HPUX 10.x (from
10598	  tin) -TD
10599
1060019991218
10601	+ reorder tests during mouse initialization to allow for gpm to run in
10602	  xterm, or for xterm to be used under OS/2 EMX.  Also drop test for
10603	  $DISPLAY in favor of kmous=\E[M or $TERM containing "xterm" (report
10604	  by Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>).
10605	+ modify raw() and noraw() to clear/restore IEXTEN flag which affects
10606	  stty lnext on systems such as FreeBSD (report by Bruce Evans
10607	  <bde@zeta.org.au>, via Jason Evans <jasone@canonware.com>).
10608	+ fix a potential (but unlikely) buffer overflow in failed() function
10609	  of tset.c (reported by Todd C Miller).
10610	+ add manual-page for ncurses extensions, documented curses_version(),
10611	  use_extended_names().
10612
1061319991211
10614	+ treat as untranslatable to termcap those terminfo strings which
10615	  contain non-decimal formatting, e.g., hexadecimal or octal.
10616	+ correct commented-out capabilities that cannot be translated to
10617	  termcap, which did not check if a colon must be escaped.
10618	+ correct termcap translation for "%>" and "%+", which did not check
10619	  if a colon must be escaped, for instance.
10620	+ use save_string/save_char for _nc_captoinfo() to eliminate fixed
10621	  buffer (originally for _nc_infotocap() in 960301 -TD).
10622	+ correct expression used for terminfo equivalent of termcap %B,
10623	  adjust regent100 entry which uses this.
10624	+ some cleanup and commenting of ad hoc cases in _nc_infotocap().
10625	+ eliminate a fixed-buffer in tic, used for translating comments.
10626	+ add manpage for infotocap
10627
1062819991204
10629	+ add kvt and gnome terminfo entries -TD
10630	+ correct translation of "%%" by infotocap, which was emitted as "%".
10631	+ add "obsolete" termcap strings to terminfo.src
10632	+ modify infocmp to default to showing obsolete capabilities rather
10633	  than terminfo only.
10634	+ modify write_entry.c so that if extended names (i.e., configure
10635	  --enable-tcap-names) are active, then tic will also write "obsolete"
10636	  capabilities that are present in the terminfo source.
10637	+ modify tic so that when running as captoinfo or infotocap, it
10638	  initializes the output format as in -C and -I options, respectively.
10639	+ improve infocmp and tic -f option by splitting long strings that do
10640	  not have if-then-else construct, but do have parameters, e.g., the
10641	  initc for xterm-88color.
10642	+ refine MKtermsort.sh slightly by using bool for the *_from_termcap
10643	  arrays.
10644
1064519991127
10646	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of clear_screen,
10647	  clr_eol, clr_eos, scrolling) to work when assume_default_colors() is
10648	  not specified.
10649	+ several small changes to xterm terminfo entries -TD.
10650	+ move logic for _nc_windows in lib_freeall.c inside check for nonnull
10651	  SP, since it is part of that struct.
10652	+ remove obsolete shlib-versions, which was unintentionally re-added
10653	  in 970927.
10654	+ modify infocmp -e, -E options to ensure that generated fallback.c
10655	  type for Booleans agrees with term.h (reported by Eric Norum
10656	  <eric@cls.usask.ca>).
10657	+ correct configure script's use of $LIB_PREFIX, which did not work
10658	  for installing the c++ directory if $libdir did not end with "/lib"
10659	  (reported by Huy Le <huyle@ugcs.caltech.edu>).
10660	+ modify infocmp so -L and -f options work together.
10661	+ modify the initialization of SP->_color_table[] in start_color() so
10662	  that color_content() will return usable values for COLORS greater
10663	  than 8.
10664	+ modify ncurses 'd' test in case COLORS is greater than 16, e.g., for
10665	  xterm-88color, to limit the displayed/computed colors to 16.
10666	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
10667	+ simplify coding of the panel library according to suggestions by
10668	  Philippe Blain.
10669	+ improve macro coding for a few macros in curses.priv.h
10670
1067119991113
10672	+ modify treatment of color pair 0 so that if ncurses is configured
10673	  to support default colors, and they are not active, then ncurses
10674	  will set that explicitly, not relying on orig_colors or orig_pair.
10675	+ add new extension, assume_default_colors() to provide better control
10676	  over the use of default colors.
10677	+ modify test programs to use more-specific ifdef's for existence of
10678	  wresize(), resizeterm() and use_default_colors().
10679	+ modify configure script to add specific ifdef's for some functions
10680	  that are included when --enable-ext-funcs is in effect, so their
10681	  existence can be ifdef'd in the test programs.
10682	+ reorder some configure options, moving those extensions that have
10683	  evolved from experimental status into a new section.
10684	+ change configure --enable-tcap-names to enable this by default.
10685
1068619991106
10687	+ install tack's manpage (reported by Robert Weiner
10688	  <robert@progplus.com>)
10689	+ correct worm.c's handling of KEY_RESIZE (patch by Frank Heckenbach).
10690	+ modify curses.h.in, undef'ing some symbols to avoid conflict with C++
10691	  STL (reported by Matt Gerassimoff <mgeras@ticon.net>)
10692
1069319991030
10694	+ modify linux terminfo entry to indicate that dim does not mix with
10695	  color (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@enteract.com>).
10696	+ correct several typos in terminfo entries related to missing '['
10697	  in CSI's -TD
10698	+ fix several compiler warnings in c++ binding (reported by Tim
10699	  Mooney for alphaev56-dec-osf4.0f
10700	+ rename parameter of _nc_free_entries() to accommodate lint.
10701	+ correct lint rule for tack, used incorrect list of source files.
10702	+ add case to config.guess, config.sub for Rhapsody.
10703	+ improve configure tests for libg++ and libstdc++ by omitting the
10704	  math library (which is missing on Rhapsody), and improved test for
10705	  the math library itself (adapted from path by Nelson H. F. Beebe).
10706	+ explicitly initialize to zero several data items which were
10707	  implicitly initialized, e.g., cur_term.  If not explicitly
10708	  initialized, their storage type is C (common), and causes problems
10709	  linking on Rhapsody 5.5 using gcc 2.7.2.1 (reported by Nelson H. F.
10710	  Beebe).
10711	+ modify Ada95 binding to not include the linker option for Ada
10712	  bindings in the Ada headers, but in the Makefiles instead (patch by
10713	  Juergen Pfeifer).
10714
1071519991023 5.0 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
10716	+ effective with release of 5.0, change NCURSES_VERSION_PATCH to
10717	  4-digit year.
10718	+ add function curses_version(), to return ncurses library version
10719	  (request by Bob van der Poel).
10720	+ remove rmam, smam from cygwin terminfo entry.
10721	+ modify FreeBSD cons25 terminfo entry to add cnorm and cvvis, as well
10722	  as update ncv to indicate that 'dim' conflicts with colors.
10723	+ modify configure script to use symbolic links for FreeBSD shared
10724	  libraries by default.
10725	+ correct ranf() function in rain and worm programs to ensure it does
10726	  not return 1.0
10727	+ hide the cursor in hanoi.c if it is running automatically.
10728	+ amend lrtest.c to account for optimizations that exploit margin
10729	  wrapping.
10730	+ add a simple terminfo demo, dots.c
10731	+ modify SIGINT/SIGQUIT handler to set a flag used in _nc_outch() to
10732	  tell it to use write() rather than putc(), since the latter is not
10733	  safe in a signal handler according to POSIX.
10734	+ add/use internal macros _nc_flush() and NC_OUTPUT to hide details
10735	  of output-file pointer in ncurses library.
10736	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS (see 971115), since they are needed for SCO
10737	  OpenServer.
10738	+ correct CC_SHARED_OPTS for building shared libraries for SCO
10739	  OpenServer.
10740	+ remove usleep() from alternatives in napms(), since it may interact
10741	  with alarm(), causing a process to be interrupted by SIGALRM (with
10742	  advice from Bela Lubkin).
10743	+ modify terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4 to build/work with
10744	  GNAT 3.10 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10745	+ remove part of CF_GPP_LIBRARY configure-script macro, which did not
10746	  work with gcc 2.7.2.3
10747	+ minor fix to test/tclock.c to avoid beeping more than once per second
10748	+ add 's' and ' ' decoding to test/rain.c
10749
10750991016	pre-release
10751	+ corrected BeOS code for lib_twait.c, making nodelay() function work.
10752
10753991009	pre-release
10754	+ correct ncurses' value for cursor-column in PutCharLR(), which was
10755	  off-by-one in one case (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
10756	+ fix some minor errors in position_check() debugging code, found while
10757	  using this to validate the PutCharLR() patch.
10758	+ modify firework, lrtest, worm examples to be resizable, and to
10759	  recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' ' for resume.
10760	+ restore reverted change to  terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
10761	  add a note on building with gnat 3.10p to Ada95/TODO.
10762	+ add a copy of the standalone configure script for the test-directory
10763	  to simplify testing on SCO and Solaris.
10764
10765991002	pre-release
10766	+ minor fixes for _nc_msec_cost(), color_content(), pair_content(),
10767	  _nc_freewin(), ClrBottom() and onscreen_mvcur() (analysis by Philippe
10768	  Blain, comments by Alexander V Lukyanov).
10769	+ simplify definition of PANEL and eliminate internal functions
10770	  _nc_calculate_obscure(), _nc_free_obscure() and _nc_override(),
10771	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, analysis by Philippe Blain
10772	  <bledp@voila.fr>)).
10773	+ change renaming of dft_fgbg.3x to use_default_colors.3ncurses in
10774	  man_db.renames, since Debian is not concerned with 14-character
10775	  filename limitation (Debian bug report by Josip Rodin
10776	  <joy@cibalia.gkvk.hr>).
10777	+ corrected scoansi terminfo entry by testing with scoterm and console.
10778	+ revert change from 990614 to terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
10779	  since this does not work for gnat 3.10p
10780	+ modify tclock example to be resizable (if ncurses' sigwinch handler
10781	  is used), and in color.
10782	+ use $(CC) rather than 'gcc' in MK_SHARED_LIB symbols, used for Linux
10783	  shared library rules.
10784
10785990925	pre-release
10786	+ add newer NetBSD console terminfo entries
10787	+ add amiga-8bit terminfo entry (from Henning 'Faroul' Peters
10788	  <Faroul@beyond.kn-bremen.de>)
10789	+ remove -lcurses -ltermcap from configure script's check for the gpm
10790	  library, since they are not really necessary (a properly configured
10791	  gpm library has no dependency on any curses library), and if the
10792	  curses library is not installed, this would cause the test to fail.
10793	+ modify tic's -C option so that terminfo "use=" clauses are translated
10794	  to "tc=" clauses even when running it as captoinfo.
10795	+ modify CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY configure macro to perform its check only
10796	  for GNU C++, since that library conflicts with SGI's libC on IRIX-6.2
10797	+ modify CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro to support build on NetBSD with
10798	  ELF libraries (patch by Bernd Ernesti <bernd@arresum.inka.de>).
10799	+ correct a problem in libpanel, where the _nc_top_panel variable was
10800	  not set properly when bottom_panel() is called to hide a panel which
10801	  is the only one on the stack (report/analysis by Michael Andres
10802	  <ma@suse.de>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10803
10804990918	pre-release
10805	+ add acsc string to HP 70092 terminfo entry (patch by Joerg Wunsch
10806	  <j@interface-business.de>).
10807	+ add top-level uninstall.data and uninstall.man makefile rules.
10808	+ correct logic of CF_LINK_FUNCS configure script, from BeOS changes so
10809	  that hard-links work on Unix again.
10810	+ change default value of cf_cv_builtin_bool to 1 (suggested by
10811	  Jeremy Buhler), making it less likely that a conflicting declaration
10812	  of bool will be seen when compiling with C++.
10813
10814990911	pre-release
10815	+ improved configure checks for builtin.h
10816	+ minor changes to C++ binding (remove static initializations, and make
10817	  configure-test for parameter initializations) for features not
10818	  allowed by vendor's C++ compilers (reported by Martin Mokrejs, this
10819	  applies to SGI, though I found SCO has the same characteristics).
10820	+ corrected quoting of ETIP_xxx definitions which support old versions
10821	  of g++, e.g., those using -lg++
10822	+ remove 'L' code from safe_sprintf.c, since 'long double' is not
10823	  widely portable.  safe_sprintf.c is experimental, however, and
10824	  exists mainly as a fallback for systems without snprintf (reported
10825	  by Martin Mokrejs <mmokrejs@natur.cuni.cz>, for IRIX 6.2)
10826	+ modify definition of _nc_tinfo_fkeys in broken-linker configuration
10827	  so that it is not unnecessarily made extern (Jeffrey C Honig).
10828
10829990904	pre-release
10830	+ move definition for builtin.h in configure tests to specific check
10831	  for libg++, since qt uses the same filename incompatibly.
10832	+ correct logic of lib_termcap.c tgetstr function, which did not copy
10833	  the result to the buffer parameter.  Testing shows Solaris does
10834	  update this, though of course tgetent's buffer is untouched (reported
10835	  in Peter Edwards <peter.edwards@ireland.com> in
10836	  mpc.lists.freebsd.current newsgroup.
10837	+ corrected beterm terminfo entry, which lists some capabilities which
10838	  are not actually provided by the BeOS Terminal.
10839	+ add special logic to replace select() calls on BeOS, whose select()
10840	  function works only for sockets.
10841	+ correct missing escape in mkterm.h.awk.in, which caused part
10842	  of the copyright noticed to be omitted (reported by Peter
10843	  Wemm <peter@netplex.com.au>).
10844	> several small changes to make the c++ binding and demo work on OS/2
10845	  EMX (related to a clean reinstall of EMX):
10846	+ correct library-prefix for c++ binding; none is needed.
10847	+ add $x suffix to make_hash and make_keys so 'make distclean' works.
10848	+ correct missing $x suffix for tack, c++ demo executables.
10849	+ split CF_CXX_LIBRARY into CF_GPP_LIBRARY (for -lg++) and
10850	  CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY (for -lstdc++)
10851
10852990828	pre-release
10853	+ add cygwin terminfo entry -TD
10854	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT configure macro to set .exe extension for cygwin.
10855	+ add configure option --without-cxx-binding, modifying the existing
10856	  --without-cxx option to check only for the C++ compiler
10857	  characteristics.  Whether or not the C++ binding is needed, the
10858	  configure script checks for the size/type of bool, to make ncurses
10859	  match.  Otherwise C++ applications cannot use ncurses.
10860
10861990821	pre-release
10862	+ updated configure macros CF_MAKEFLAGS, CF_CHECK_ERRNO
10863	+ minor corrections to beterm terminfo entry.
10864	+ modify lib_setup.c to reject values of $TERM which have a '/' in
10865	  them.
10866	+ add ifdef's to guard against CS5, CS6, CS7, CS8 being zero, as more
10867	  than one is on BeOS.  That would break a switch statement.
10868	+ add configure macro CF_LINK_FUNCS to detect and work around BeOS's
10869	  nonfunctional link().
10870	+ improved configure macros CF_BOOL_DECL and CF_BOOL_SIZE to detect
10871	  BeOS's bool, which is declared as an unsigned char.
10872
10873990814	pre-release
10874	+ add ms-vt100 terminfo entry -TD
10875	+ minor fixes for misc/emx.src, based on testing with tack.
10876	+ minor fix for test/ncurses.c, test 'a', in case ncv is not set.
10877
10878990731	pre-release
10879	+ minor correction for 'screen' terminfo entry.
10880	+ clarify description of errret values for setupterm in manpage.
10881	+ modify tput to allow it to emit capabilities for hardcopy terminals
10882	  (patch by Goran Uddeborg <goeran@uddeborg.pp.se>).
10883	+ modify the 'o' (panel) test in ncurses.c to show the panels in color
10884	  or at least in bold, to test Juergen's change to wrefresh().
10885	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
10886	+ Fixes a problem using wbkgdset() with panels.  It has actually
10887	  nothing to with panels but is a problem in the implementation of
10888	  wrefresh().  Whenever a window changes its background attribute to
10889	  something different than newscr's background attribute, the whole
10890	  window is touched to force a copy to newscr.  This is an unwanted
10891	  side-effect of wrefresh() and it is actually not necessary.  A
10892	  changed background attribute affects only further outputs of
10893	  background it doesn't mean anything to the current content of the
10894	  window.  So there is no need to force a copy.  (reported by Frank
10895	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>).
10896	+ an upward compatible enhancement of the NCursesPad class in the C++
10897	  binding.  It allows one to add a "viewport" window to a pad and then
10898	  to use panning to view the pad through the viewport window.
10899
10900990724	pre-release
10901	+ suppress a call to def_prog_mode() in the SIGTSTP handler if the
10902	  signal was received while not in curses mode, e.g., endwin() was
10903	  called in preparation for spawning a shell command (reported by Frank
10904	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
10905	+ corrected/enhanced xterm-r5, xterm+sl, xterm+sl-twm terminfo entries.
10906	+ change test for xterm mouse capability:  it now checks only if the
10907	  user's $DISPLAY variable is set in conjunction with the kmous
10908	  capability being present in the terminfo.  Before, it checked if any
10909	  of "xterm", "rxvt" or "kterm" were substrings of the terminal name.
10910	  However, some emulators which are incompatible with xterm in other
10911	  ways do support the xterm mouse capability.
10912	+ reviewed and made minor changes in ncurses to quiet g++ warnings
10913	  about shadowed or uninitialized variables.  g++ incorrectly warns
10914	  about uninitialized variables because it does not take into account
10915	  short-circuit expression evaluation.
10916	+ change ncurses 'b' test to start in color pair 0 and to show in the
10917	  right margin those attributes which are suppressed by no_color_video,
10918	  i.e., "(NCV)".
10919	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h so that __attribute__ is not redefined
10920	  when compiling with g++, but instead disabled the macros derived for
10921	  __attribute__ since g++ does not consistently recognize the same
10922	  keywords as gcc (reported by Stephan K Zitz <zitz@erf.net>).
10923	+ update dependencies for term.h in ncurses/modules (reported by
10924	  Ilya Zakharevich).
10925
10926990710	pre-release
10927	+ modify the form demo in ncurses.c to illustrate how to manipulate the
10928	  field appearance, e.g, for highlighting or translating the field
10929	  contents.
10930	+ correct logic in write_entry from split-out of home_terminfo in
10931	  980919, which prevented update of $HOME/.terminfo (reported by Philip
10932	  Spencer <pspencer@fields.utoronto.ca>).
10933
10934990703	pre-release
10935	+ modify linux terminfo description to make use of kernel 2.2.x mods
10936	  that support cursor style, e.g., to implement cvvis (patch by Frank
10937	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
10938	+ add special-case in setupterm to retain previously-saved terminal
10939	  settings in cur_term, which happens when curses and termcap calls are
10940	  mixed (from report by Bjorn Helgaas <helgaas@dhc.net>).
10941	+ suppress initialization of key-tries in _nc_keypad() if we are only
10942	  disabling keypad mode, e.g., in endwin() called when keypad() was
10943	  not.
10944	+ modify the Ada95 makefile to ensure that always the Ada files from
10945	  the development tree are used for building and not the eventually
10946	  installed ones (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10947
10948990626	pre-release
10949	+ use TTY definition in tack/sysdep.c rather than struct termios
10950	  (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
10951	+ add a fallback for strstr, used in lib_mvcur.c and tack/edit.c,
10952	  not present on sysV68 (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
10953	+ correct definition in comp_hash.c to build with configure
10954	  --with-rcs-ids option.
10955
10956990619	pre-release
10957	+ modified ifdef's for sigaction and sigvec to ensure we do not try to
10958	  handle SIGTSTP if neither is available (from report by Philippe De
10959	  Muyter).
10960	> patch by Philippe De Muyter:
10961	+ in tic.c, use `unlink' if `remove' is not available.
10962	+ use only `unsigned' as fallback value for `speed_t'.  Some files used
10963	  `short' instead.
10964
10965990616	pre-release
10966	+ fix some compiler warnings in tack.
10967	+ add a check for predefined bool type in CC, based on report that
10968	  BeOS predefines a bool type.
10969	+ correct logic for infocmp -e option, i.e., the configure
10970	  --with-fallbacks option, which I'd not updated when implementing
10971	  extended names (cf:  990301).  The new implementation adds a "-E"
10972	  option to infocmp -TD
10973	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
10974	+ introduce the private type Curses_Bool in the Ada95 binding
10975	  implementation.  This is to clearly represent the use of "bool" also
10976	  in the binding.  It should have no effect on the generated code.
10977	+ improve the man page for field_buffer() to tell the people, that the
10978	  whole buffer including leading/trailing spaces is returned.  This is
10979	  a common source of confusion, so it's better to document it clearly.
10980
10981990614	pre-release
10982	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
10983	+ use pragma PreElaborate in several places.
10984	+ change a few System.Address uses to more specific types.
10985	+ change interface version-number to 1.0
10986	+ regenerate Ada95 HTML files.
10987
10988990612	pre-release
10989	+ modify lib_endwin.c to avoid calling reset_shell_mode(), return ERR
10990	  if it appears that curses was never initialized, e.g., by initscr().
10991	  For instance, this guards against setting the terminal modes to
10992	  strange values if endwin() is called after setupterm().  In the same
10993	  context, Solaris curses will dump core.
10994	+ modify logic that avoids a conflict in lib_vidattr.c between sgr0 and
10995	  equivalent values in rmso or rmul by ensuring we do not modify the
10996	  data which would be returned by the terminfo or termcap interfaces
10997	  (reported by Brad Pepers <brad@linuxcanada.com>, cf:  960706).
10998	+ add a null-pointer check for SP in lib_vidattr.c to logic that checks
10999	  for magic cookies.
11000	+ improve fallback declaration of 'bool' when the --without-cxx option
11001	  is given, by using a 'char' on i386 and related hosts (prompted by
11002	  discussion with Alexander V Lukyanov).
11003
11004990605	pre-release
11005	+ include time.h in lib_napms.c if nanosleep is used (patch by
11006	  R Lindsay Todd <toddr@rpi.edu>).
11007	+ add an "#undef bool" to curses.h, in case someone tries to define it,
11008	  e.g., perl.
11009	+ add check to tparm to guard against divide by zero (reported by Aaron
11010	  Campbell <aaron@ug.cs.dal.ca>).
11011
11012990516	pre-release
11013	+ minor fix to build tack on CLIX (mismatched const).
11014	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
11015	+ change Juergen's old email address with new one in the files where it
11016	  is referenced.  The Ada95 HTML pages are regenerated.
11017	+ update MANIFEST to list the tack files.
11018
11019990509	pre-release
11020	+ minor fixes to make 'tack' build/link on NeXT (reported by Francisco
11021	  A. Tomei Torres).
11022
11023990417	pre-release
11024	+ add 'tack' program (which is GPL'd), updating it to work with the
11025	  modified TERMTYPE struct and making a fix to support setaf/setab
11026	  capabilities.  Note that the tack program is not part of the
11027	  ncurses libraries, but an application which can be distributed with
11028	  ncurses.  The configure script will ignore the directory if it is
11029	  omitted, however.
11030	+ modify gpm mouse support so that buttons 2 and 3 are used for
11031	  select/paste only when shift key is pressed, making them available
11032	  for use by an application (patch by Klaus Weide).
11033	+ add complete list of function keys to scoansi terminfo entry - TD
11034
11035990410	pre-release
11036	+ add a simple test program cardfile.c to illustrate how to read form
11037	  fields, and showing forms within panels.
11038	+ change shared-library versioning for the Hurd to be like Linux rather
11039	  than *BSD (patch by Mark Kettenis <kettenis@wins.uva.nl>).
11040	+ add linux-lat terminfo entry.
11041	+ back-out _nc_access check in read_termcap.c (both incorrect and
11042	  unnecessary, except to guard against a small window where the file's
11043	  ownership may change).
11044
11045990403	pre-release
11046	+ remove conflicting _nc_free_termtype() function from test module
11047	  lib_freeall.c
11048	+ use _nc_access check in read_termcap.c for termpaths[] array (noted
11049	  by Jeremy Buhler, indicating that Alan Cox made a similar patch).
11050	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
11051	+ modify menu creation to not inherit status flag from the default menu
11052	  which says that the associated marker string has been allocated and
11053	  should be freed (bug reported by Marek Paliwoda"
11054	  <paliwoda@kki.net.pl>)
11055
11056990327	pre-release (alpha.gnu.org:/gnu/ncurses-5.0-beta1.tar.gz)
11057	+ minor fixes to xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry - TD.
11058	+ split up an expression in configure script check for ldconfig to
11059	  workaround limitation of BSD/OS sh (reported by Jeff Haas
11060	  <jmh@mail.msen.com>).
11061	+ correct a typo in man/form_hook.3x (Todd C Miller).
11062
11063990318	pre-release
11064	+ parenthesize and undef 'index' symbol in c++ binding and demo, to
11065	  accommodate its definition on NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei
11066	  Torres).
11067	+ add sigismember() to base/sigaction.c compatibility to link on NeXT
11068	  (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
11069	+ further refinements to inequality in hashmap.c to cover a case with
11070	  ^U in nvi (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
11071
11072990316	pre-release
11073	+ add fallback definition for getcwd, to link on NeXT.
11074	+ add a copy of cur_term to tic.c to make it link properly on NeXT
11075	  (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
11076	+ change inequality in hashmap.c which checks the distance traveled by
11077	  a chunk so that ^D command in nvi (scrolls 1/2 screen) will use
11078	  scrolling logic (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov, reported by Jeffrey
11079	  C Honig).
11080
11081990314	pre-release
11082	+ modify lib_color.c to handle a special case where the curscr
11083	  attributes have been made obsolete (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
11084	+ update BSD/OS console terminfo entries to use klone+sgr and
11085	  klone+color (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
11086	+ update glibc addon configure script for extended capabilities.
11087	+ correct a couple of warnings in the --enable-const configuration.
11088	+ make comp_hash build properly with _nc_strdup(), on NeXT (reported by
11089	  Francisco A. Tomei Torres <francisco.tomei@cwix.com>).
11090
11091990313	pre-release
11092	+ correct typos in linux-c initc string - TD
11093	+ add 'crt' terminfo entry, update xterm-xfree86 entry - TD
11094	+ remove a spurious argument to tparm() in lib_sklrefr.c (patch by
11095	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
11096
11097990307	pre-release
11098	+ back-out change to wgetch because it causes a problem with ^Z
11099	  handling in lynx (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
11100
11101990306	pre-release
11102	+ add -G option to tic and infocmp, to reverse the "-g" option.
11103	+ recode functions in name_match.c to avoid use of strncpy, which
11104	  caused a 4-fold slowdown in tic (cf: 980530).
11105	+ correct a few warnings about sign-extension in recent changes.
11106	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
11107	+ fixes suggested by Jeff Bradbury <jibradbury@lucent.com>:
11108	  + improved parameter checking in new_fieldtype().
11109	  + fixed a typo in wgetch() timeout handling.
11110	  + allow slk_init() to be called per newterm call.  The internal SLK
11111	    state is stored in the SCREEN struct after every newterm() and then
11112	    reset for the next newterm.
11113	  + fix the problem that a slk_refresh() refreshes stdscr if the
11114	    terminal has true SLKs.
11115	+ update HTML documentation for Ada binding.
11116
11117990301	pre-release
11118	+ remove 'bool' casts from definitions of TRUE/FALSE so that statements
11119	  such as "#if TRUE" work.  This was originally done to allow for a C++
11120	  compiler which would warn of implicit conversions between enum and
11121	  int, but is not needed for g++ (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
11122	+ add use_extended_names() function to allow applications to suppress
11123	  read of the extended capabilities.
11124	+ add configure option --enable-tcap-names to support logic which
11125	  allows ncurses' tic to define new (i.e., extended) terminal
11126	  capabilities.  This is activated by the tic -x switch.  The infocmp
11127	  program automatically shows or compares extended capabilities.
11128	  Note:  This changes the Strings and similar arrays in the TERMTYPE
11129	  struct so that applications which manipulate it must be recompiled.
11130	+ use macros typeMalloc, typeCalloc and typeRealloc consistently
11131	  throughout ncurses library.
11132	+ add _nc_strdup() to doalloc.c.
11133	+ modify define_key() to allow multiple strings to be bound to the
11134	  same keycode.
11135	+ correct logic error in _nc_remove_string, from 990220.
11136	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
11137	+ regenerate some of the html documentation
11138	+ minor cleanup in terminal_interface-curses.adb
11139
11140990220	pre-release
11141	+ resolve ambiguity of kend/kll/kslt and khome/kfnd/kich1 strings in
11142	  xterm and ncsa terminfo entries by removing the unneeded ones.  Note
11143	  that some entries will return kend & khome versus kslt and kfnd, for
11144	  PC-style keyboards versus strict vt220 compatibility - TD
11145	+ add function keybound(), which returns the definition associated with
11146	  a given keycode.
11147	+ modify define_key() to undefine the given string when no keycode is
11148	  given.
11149	+ modify keyok() so it works properly if there is more than one string
11150	  defined for a keycode.
11151	+ add check to tic to warn about terminfo descriptions that contain
11152	  more than one key assigned to the same string.  This is shown only if
11153	  the verbose (-v) option is given.  Moved related logic (tic -v) from
11154	  comp_parse.c into the tic program.
11155	+ add/use _nc_trace_tries() to show the function keys that will be
11156	  recognized.
11157	+ rename init_acs to _nc_init_acs (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
11158	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
11159	+ remove all the *_adabind.c from ncurses, menu and form projects.
11160	  Those little helper routines have all been implemented in Ada and are
11161	  no longer required.
11162	+ The option handling routines in menu and form have been made more
11163	  save.  They now make sure that the unused bits in options are always
11164	  zero.
11165	+ modify configuration scripts to
11166	  + use gnatmake as default compiler name.  This is a safer choice than
11167	    gcc, because some GNAT implementations use other names for the
11168	    compilerdriver to avoid conflicts.
11169	  + use new default installation locations for the Ada files according
11170	    to the proposed GNU Ada filesystem standard (for Linux).
11171	+ simplify the Makefiles for the Ada binding
11172	+ rename ada_include directory to src.
11173
11174990213
11175	+ enable sigwinch handler by default.
11176	+ disable logic that allows setbuf to be turned off/on, because some
11177	  implementations will overrun the buffer after it has been disabled
11178	  once.
11179
11180990206
11181	+ suppress sc/rc capabilities from terminal description if they appear
11182	  in smcup/rmcup.  This affects only scrolling optimization, to fix a
11183	  problem reported by several people with xterm's alternate screen,
11184	  though the problem is more general.
11185	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
11186	+ removed all pragma Preelaborate() stuff, because the just released
11187	  gnat-3.11p complains on some constructs.
11188	+ fixed some upper/lower case notations because gnat-3.11p found
11189	  inconsistent use.
11190	+ used a new method to generate the HTML documentation of the Ada95
11191	  binding.  This invalidates nearly the whole ./Ada95/html subtree.
11192	  Nearly all current files in this subtree are removed
11193
11194990130
11195	+ cache last result from _nc_baudrate, for performance (suggested by
11196	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
11197	+ modify ClrUpdate() function to workaround a problem in nvi, which
11198	  uses redrawwin in SIGTSTP handling.  Jeffrey C Honig reported that
11199	  ncurses repainted the screen with nulls before resuming normal
11200	  operation (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
11201	+ generalize is_xterm() function a little by letting xterm/rxvt/kterm
11202	  be any substring rather than the prefix.
11203	+ modify lib_data.c to initialize SP.  Some linkers, e.g., IBM's, will
11204	  not link a module if the only symbols exported from the module are
11205	  uninitialized ones (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).  Ilya says that he
11206	  has seen messages claiming this behavior conforms to the standard.)
11207	+ move call on _nc_signal_handler past _nc_initscr, to avoid a small
11208	  window where Nttyb hasn't yet been filled (reported by Klaus Weide).
11209	+ modify lib_tstp.c to block SIGTTOU when handling SIGTSTP, fixes a
11210	  problem where ncurses applications which were run via a shell script
11211	  would hang when given a ^Z.  Also, check if the terminal's process
11212	  group is consistent, i.e., a shell has not taken ownership of it,
11213	  before deciding to save the current terminal settings in the SIGTSTP
11214	  handler (patch by Klaus Weide).
11215	+ correct spelling of ACS_ names in curs_border.3x (reported by Bob van
11216	  der Poel <bvdpoel@kootenay.com>).
11217	+ correct a couple of typos in the macros supporting the configure
11218	  --with-shlib-version option.
11219
11220990123
11221	+ modify fty_regex.c to compile on HAVE_REGEXPR_H_FUNCS machine (patch
11222	  by Kimio Ishii <ishii@csl.sony.co.jp>).
11223	+ rename BSDI console terminfo entries:  bsdos to bsdos-pc-nobold, and
11224	  bsdos-bold to bsdos-pc (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
11225	+ modify tput to accept termcap names as an alternative to terminfo
11226	  names (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
11227	+ correct a typo in term.7 (Todd C Miller).
11228	+ add configure --with-shlib-version option to allow installing shared
11229	  libraries named according to release or ABI versions.  This
11230	  parameterizes some existing logic in the configure script, and is
11231	  intended for compatibility upgrades on Digital Unix, which used
11232	  versioned libraries in ncurses 4.2, but no longer does (cf:  980425).
11233	+ resync configure script against autoconf 2.13 + patches
11234	+ minor improvements for teraterm terminfo entry based on the program's
11235	  source distribution.
11236
11237990116
11238	+ change default for configure --enable-big-core to assume machines do
11239	  have enough memory to resolve terminfo.src in-memory.
11240	+ correct name of ncurses library in TEST_ARGS when configuring with
11241	  debug library.
11242	+ minor fixes to compile ncurses library with broken-linker with g++.
11243	+ add --enable-broken-linker configure option, default to environment
11244	  variable $BROKEN_LINKER (request by Jeffrey C Honig).
11245	+ change key_names[] array to static since it is not part of the curses
11246	  interface (reported by Jeffrey C Honig <jch@bsdi.com>).
11247
11248990110
11249	+ add Tera Term terminfo entry - TD
11250
11251990109
11252	+ reviewed/corrected macros in curses.h as per XSI document.
11253	+ provide support for termcap PC variable by copying it from terminfo
11254	  data and using it as the padding character in tputs (reported by
11255	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
11256	+ corrected iris-ansi and iris-ansi-ap terminfo entries for kent and
11257	  kf9-kf12 capabilities, as well as adding kcbt.
11258	+ document the mouse handling mechanism in menu_driver and make a small
11259	  change in menu_driver's return codes to provide more consistency
11260	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11261	+ add fallback definition for NCURSES_CONST to termcap.h.in (reported
11262	  by Uchiyama Yasushi <uch@nop.or.jp>).
11263	+ move lib_restart.c to ncurses/base, since it uses curses functions
11264	  directly, and therefore cannot be used in libtinfo.so
11265	+ rename micro_char_size to micro_col_size, adding #define to retain
11266	  old name.
11267	+ add set_a_attributes and set_pglen_inch to terminfo structure, as per
11268	  XSI and Solaris 2.5.
11269	+ minor makefile files to build ncurses test_progs
11270	+ update html files in misc directory to reflect changes since 4.2
11271
11272990102
11273	+ disable scroll hints when hashmap is enabled (patch by Alexander
11274	  V Lukyanov).
11275	+ move logic for tic's verify of -e option versus -I and -C so that the
11276	  terminfo data is not processed if we cannot handle -e (reported by
11277	  Steven Schwartz <steves@unitrends.com>.
11278	+ add test-driver traces to terminfo and termcap functions.
11279	+ provide support for termcap ospeed variable by copying it from the
11280	  internal cur_term member, and using ospeed as the baudrate reference
11281	  for the delay_output and tputs functions.  If an application does not
11282	  set ospeed, the library behaves as before, except that _nc_timed_wait
11283	  is no longer used, or needed, since ospeed always has a value.  But
11284	  the application can modify ospeed to adjust the output of padding
11285	  characters (prompted by a bug report for screen 3.7.6 and email from
11286	  Michael Schroeder <Michael.Schroeder@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>).
11287	+ removed some unused ifdef's as part of Alexander's restructuring.
11288	+ reviewed/updated curses.h, term.h against X/Open Curses Issue 4
11289	  Version 2.  This includes making some parameters NCURSES_CONST
11290	  rather than const, e.g., in termcap.h.
11291	+ change linux terminfo entry to use ncv#2, since underline does not
11292	  work with color
11293
11294981226
11295	+ miscellaneous corrections for curses.h to match XSI.
11296	+ change --enable-no-padding configure option to be normally enabled.
11297	+ add section to ncurses manpage for environment variables.
11298	+ investigated Debian bug report that pertains to screen 3.7.4/3.7.6
11299	  changes, found no sign of problems on Linux (or on SunOS, Solaris)
11300	  running screen built with ncurses.
11301	+ check if tmp_fp is opened in tic.c before closing it (patch by Pavel
11302	  Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>).
11303	+ correct several font specification typos in man-pages.
11304
11305981220
11306	+ correct default value for BUILD_CC (reported by Larry Virden).
11307
11308981219
11309	+ modify _nc_set_writedir() to set a flag in _nc_tic_dir() to prevent
11310	  it from changing the terminfo directory after chdir'ing to it.
11311	  Otherwise, a relative path in $TERMINFO would confuse tic (prompted
11312	  by a Debian bug report).
11313	+ correct/update ncsa terminfo entry (report by Larry Virden).
11314	+ update xterm-xfree86 terminfo to current (patch 90), smcur/rmcur
11315	  changes
11316	+ add Mathew Vernon's mach console entries to terminfo.src
11317	+ more changes, moving functions, as part of Alexander's restructuring.
11318	+ modify configure script for GNU/Hurd share-library support, introduce
11319	  BUILD_CC variable for cross compiling (patch by Uchiyama Yasushi
11320	  <uch@nop.or.jp>)
11321
11322981212
11323	+ add environment variable NCURSES_NO_SETBUF to allow disabling the
11324	  setbuf feature, for testing purposes.
11325	+ correct ifdef's for termcap.h versus term.h that suppress redundant
11326	  declarations of prototypes (reported by H.J.Lu).
11327	+ modify Makefile.os2 to add linker flags which allow multiple copies
11328	  of an application to coexist (reported by Ilya Zakharevich).
11329	+ update Makefile.glibc and associated configure script so that ncurses
11330	  builds as a glibc add-on with the new directory configuration
11331	  (reported by H.J.Lu).
11332
11333981205
11334	+ modify gen_reps() function in gen.c to work properly on SunOS
11335	  (sparc), which is a left-to-right architecture.
11336	+ modify relative_move and tputs to avoid an interaction with the
11337	  BSD-style padding.  The relative_move function could produce a string
11338	  to replace on the screen which began with a numeric character, which
11339	  was then interpreted by tputs as padding.  Now relative_move will not
11340	  generate a string with a leading digit in that case (overwrite).
11341	  Also, tputs will only interpret padding if the string begins with a
11342	  digit; as coded it permitted a string to begin with a decimal point
11343	  or asterisk (reported by Larry Virden).
11344	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
11345	+ fix a typo in m_driver.c mouse handling and improves the error
11346	  handling.
11347	+ fix broken mouse handling in the Ada95 binding
11348	+ make the Ada95 sample application menus work with the new menu mouse
11349	  support
11350	+ improve the mouse handling introduced by Ilya; it now handles menus
11351	  with spacing.
11352	+ repair a minor bug in the menu_driver code discovered during this
11353	  rework.
11354	+ add new function wmouse_trafo() to hide implementation details of
11355	  _yoffset member of WINDOW struct needed for mouse coordinate
11356	  transformation.
11357
11358981128
11359	+ modify Ada95/gen/gen.c to avoid using return-value of sprintf, since
11360	  some older implementations (e.g., SunOS 4.x) return the buffer
11361	  address rather than its length.
11362	> patch by Rick Ohnemus:
11363	+ modify demo.cc to get it to compile with newer versions of egcs.
11364	+ trim a space that appears at the end of the table preprocessor lines
11365	  ('\" t).  This space prevents some versions of man from displaying
11366	  the pages - changed to remove all trailing whitespace (TD)
11367	+ finally, 'make clean' does not remove panel objects.
11368	> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
11369	+ allow remapping of OS/2 mouse buttons using environment variable
11370	  MOUSE_BUTTONS_123 with the default value 132.
11371	+ add mouse support to ncurses menus.
11372
11373981121
11374	+ modify misc/makedef.cmd to report old-style .def file symbols, and to
11375	  generate the .def files sorted by increasing names rather than the
11376	  reverse.
11377	+ add misc/*.ref which are J.J.G.Ripoll's dll definition files (renamed
11378	  from misc/*.old), and updated based on the entrypoint coding he used
11379	  for an older version of ncurses.
11380	+ add README.emx, to document how to build on OS/2 EMX.
11381	+ updates for config.guess, config.sub from Lynx
11382	> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
11383	+ minor fixes for mouse handling mode:
11384	  a) Do not initialize mouse if the request is to have no mouse;
11385	  b) Allow switching of OS/2 VIO mouse on and off.
11386	+ modify Makefile.os2 to support alternative means of generating
11387	  configure script, by translating Unix script with Perl.
11388	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
11389	+ Updates MANIFEST to reflect changes in source structure
11390	+ Eliminates a problem introduced with my last patch for the C++
11391	  binding in the panels code.  It removes the update() call done in the
11392	  panel destructor.
11393	+ Changes in the Ada95 binding to better support systems where
11394	  sizeof(chtype)!=sizeof(int) (e.g.  DEC Alpha).
11395
11396981114
11397	+ modify install-script for manpages to skip over .orig and .rej files
11398	  (request by Larry Virden).
11399	> patches/discussion by Alexander V Lukyanov:
11400	+ move base-library sources into ncurses/base and tty (serial terminal)
11401	  sources into ncurses/tty, as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's proposed
11402	  changes to ncurses library.
11403	+ copy _tracemouse() into ncurses.c so that lib_tracemse.c need not
11404	  be linked into the normal ncurses library.
11405	+ move macro winch to a function, to hide details of struct ldat
11406	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
11407	+ fix a potential compile problem in cursesw.cc
11408	+ some Ada95 cosmetics
11409	+ fix a gen.c problem when compiling on 64-Bit machines
11410	+ fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in "-L" linker switch
11411	+ modify Ada95 makefiles to use the INSTALL_PREFIX setting.
11412
11413981107
11414	+ ifdef'd out lib_freeall.c when not configured.
11415	+ rename _tracebits() to _nc_tracebits().
11416	+ move terminfo-library sources into ncurses/tinfo, and trace-support
11417	  functions into ncurses/trace as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's
11418	  proposed changes to ncurses library.
11419	+ modify generated term.h to always specify its own definitions for
11420	  HAVE_TERMIOS_H, etc., to guard against inclusion by programs with
11421	  broken configure scripts.
11422
11423981031
11424	+ modify terminfo parsing to accept octal and hexadecimal constants,
11425	  like Solaris.
11426	+ remove an autoconf 2.10 artifact from the configure script's check
11427	  for "-g" compiler options.  (Though harmless, this confused someone
11428	  at Debian, who recently issued a patch that results in the opposite
11429	  effect).
11430	+ add configure option --with-ada-compiler to accommodate installations
11431	  that do not use gcc as the driver for GNAT (patch by Juergen
11432	  Pfeifer).
11433
11434981017
11435	+ ensure ./man exists in configure script, needed when configuring
11436	  with --srcdir option.
11437	+ modify infocmp "-r" option to remove limit on formatted termcap
11438	  output, which makes it more like Solaris' version.
11439	+ modify captoinfo to treat no-argument case more like Solaris'
11440	  version, which uses the contents of $TERMCAP as the entry to format.
11441	+ modify mk-2nd.awk to handle subdirectories, e.g., ncurses/tty
11442	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
11443
11444981010
11445	+ modify --with-terminfo-dirs option so that the default value is the
11446	  ${datadir} value, unless $TERMINFO_DIRS is already set.  This gets
11447	  rid of a hardcoded list of candidate directories in the configure
11448	  script.
11449	+ add some error-checking to _nc_read_file_entry() to ensure that
11450	  strings are properly terminated (Todd C Miller).
11451	+ rename manpage file curs_scr_dmp.3x to curs_scr_dump.3x, to
11452	  correspond with contents (reported by Neil Zanella
11453	  <nzanella@cs.mun.ca>).
11454	+ remove redundant configure check for C++ which did not work when $CXX
11455	  was specified with a full pathname (reported by Andreas Jaeger).
11456	+ corrected bcopy/memmove check; the macro was not standalone.
11457
11458981003
11459	+ remove unnecessary portion of OS/2 EMX mouse change from
11460	  check_pending() (reported by Alexander V Lukyanov).
11461
11462980926
11463	+ implement mouse support for OS/2 EMX (adapted from patch against
11464	  4.2(?) by Ilya Zakharevich).
11465	+ add configure-check for bcopy/memmove, for 980919 changes to hashmap.
11466	+ merge Data General terminfo from Hasufin <hasufin@vidnet.net> - TD
11467	+ merge AIX 3.2.5 terminfo descriptions for IBM terminals, replaces
11468	  some older entries - TD
11469	+ modify tic to compile into %'char' form in preference to %{number},
11470	  since that is a little more efficient.
11471	+ minor correction to infocmp to avoid displaying "difference" between
11472	  two capabilities that are rendered in equivalent forms.
11473	+ add "-g" option to tic/infocmp to force character constants to be
11474	  displayed in quoted form.  Otherwise their decimal values are shown.
11475	+ modify setupterm so that cancelled strings are treated the same as
11476	  absent strings, cancelled and absent booleans false (does not affect
11477	  tic, infocmp).
11478	+ modify tic, infocmp to discard redundant i3, r3 strings when output
11479	  to termcap format.
11480	> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
11481	+ improve performance of tparm, now it takes 19% instead of 25% when
11482	  profiling worm.
11483	+ rename maxlen/minlen to prec/width for better readability.
11484	+ use format string for printing strings.
11485	+ use len argument correctly in save_text, and pass it to save_number.
11486
11487980919
11488	+ make test_progs compile (but hashmap does not function).
11489	+ correct NC_BUFFERED macro, used in lib_mvcur test-driver, modify
11490	  associated logic to avoid freeing the SP->_setbuf data.
11491	+ add modules home_terminfo and getenv_num to libtinfo.
11492	+ move write_entry to libtinfo, to work with termcap caching.
11493	+ minor fixes to blue.c to build with atac.
11494	+ remove softscroll.c module; no longer needed for testing.
11495	> patches by Todd C Miller:
11496	+ use strtol(3) instead of atoi(3) when parsing env variables so we can
11497	  detect a bogus (non-numeric) value.
11498	+ check for terminal names > MAX_NAME_SIZE in a few more places when
11499	  dealing with env variables again.
11500	+ fix a MAX_NAME_SIZE that should be MAX_NAME_SIZE+1
11501	+ use sizeof instead of strlen(3) on PRIVATE_INFO since it is a fixed
11502	  string #define (compile time vs runtime).
11503	+ when setting errno to ENOMEM, set it right before the return, not
11504	  before code that could, possibly, set errno to a different value.
11505	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
11506	+ use default background in update_cost_from_blank()
11507	+ disable scroll-hints when hashmap is configured.
11508	+ improve integration of hashmap scrolling code, by adding oldhash and
11509	  newhash data to SP struct.
11510	+ invoke del_curterm from delscreen.
11511	+ modify del_curterm to set cur_term to null if it matches the
11512	  function's parameter which is deleted.
11513	+ modify lib_doupdate to prefer parm_ich to the enter_insert_mode and
11514	  exit_insert_mode combination, adjusting InsCharCost to check
11515	  enter_insert_mode, exit_insert_mode and insert_padding.  Add
11516	  insert_padding in insert mode after each char.  This adds new costs
11517	  to the SP struct.
11518
11519980912
11520	+ modify test-driver in lib_mvcur.s to use _nc_setbuffer, for
11521	  consistent treatment.
11522	+ modify ncurses to restore output to unbuffered on endwin, and resume
11523	  buffering in refresh (see lib_set_term.c and NC_BUFFERED macro).
11524	+ corrected HTML version numbers (according to the W3C validator, they
11525	  never were HTML 2.0-compliant, but are acceptable 3.0).
11526
11527980905
11528	+ modify MKterminfo.sh to generate terminfo.5 with tables sorted by
11529	  capability name, as in SVr4.
11530	+ modified term.h, termcap.h headers to avoid redundant declarations.
11531	+ change 'u_int' type in tset.c to unsigned, making this compile on
11532	  Sequent PRX 4.1 (reported by Michael Sterrett <msterret@coat.com>).
11533
11534980829
11535	+ corrections to mailing addresses, and moving the magic line that
11536	  causes the man program to invoke tbl to the first line of each
11537	  manpage (patch by Rick Ohnemus <rick@ecompcon.com>).
11538	+ add Makefile.os2 and supporting scripts to generate dll's on OS/2 EMX
11539	  (from J.J.G.Ripoll, with further integration by TD).
11540	+ correct a typo in icl6404 terminfo entry.
11541	+ add xtermm and xtermc terminfo entries.
11542	> from esr's terminfo version:
11543	+ Added Francesco Potorti's tuned Wyse 99 entries.
11544	+ dtterm enacs (from Alexander V Lukyanov).
11545	+ Add ncsa-ns, ncsa-m-ns and ncsa-m entries from esr version.
11546
11547980822
11548	+ document AT&T acs characters in terminfo.5 manpage.
11549	+ use EMX _scrsize() function if terminfo and environment do not
11550	  declare the screen size (reported by Ilya Zakharevich
11551	  <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>).
11552	+ remove spurious '\' characters from eterm and osborne terminfo
11553	  entries (prompted by an old Debian bug report).
11554	+ correct reversed malloc/realloc calls in _nc_doalloc (reported by
11555	  Hans-Joachim Widmaier <hjwidmai@foxboro.com>).
11556	+ correct misplaced parenthesis which caused file-descriptor from
11557	  opening termcap to be lost, from 980725 changes (reported by Andreas
11558	  Jaeger).
11559
11560980815
11561	+ modify lib_setup.c to eliminate unneeded include of <sys/ioctl.h>
11562	  when termios is not used (patch by Todd C Miller).
11563	+ add function _nc_doalloc, to ensure that failed realloc calls do not
11564	  leak memory (reported by Todd C Miller).
11565	+ improved ncsa-telnet terminfo entry.
11566
11567980809
11568	+ correct missing braces around a trace statement in read_entry.c,
11569	  from 980808 (reported by Kim DeVaughn <kimdv@best.com> and Liviu
11570	  Daia).
11571
11572980808
11573	+ fix missing include <errno.h> in ditto.c (reported by Bernhard
11574	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@k5.sucks.eu.org>)
11575	+ add NCSA telnet terminfo entries from Francesco Potorti
11576	  <F.Potorti@cnuce.cnr.it>, from Debian bug reports.
11577	+ make handling of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables more compatible with
11578	  Solaris by allowing them to individually override the window size
11579	  as obtained via ioctl.
11580
11581980801
11582	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to allow for terminal types (e.g., xterm-color)
11583	  which may reset all attributes in the 'op' capability, so that colors
11584	  are set before turning on bold and other attributes, but still after
11585	  turning attributes off.
11586	+ add 'ditto.c' to test directory to illustrate use of newterm for
11587	  initializing multiple screens.
11588	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to recover from failed attempt to link alias
11589	  for a terminfo on a filesystem which does not preserve character case
11590	  (reported by Peter L Jordan <PJordan@chla.usc.edu>).
11591
11592980725
11593	+ updated versions of config.guess and config.sub based on automake 1.3
11594	+ change name-comparisons in lib_termcap to compare no more than 2
11595	  characters (gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8, verified
11596	  with Solaris curses).
11597	+ fix typo in curs_insstr.3x (patch by Todd C Miller)
11598	+ use 'access()' to check if ncurses library should be permitted to
11599	  open or modify files with fopen/open/link/unlink/remove calls, in
11600	  case the calling application is running in setuid mode (request by
11601	  Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>, responding to Duncan Simpson
11602	  <dps@io.stargate.co.uk>).
11603	+ arm100 terminfo entries from Dave Millen <dmill@globalnet.co.uk>).
11604	+ qnxt2 and minitel terminfo entries from esr's version.
11605
11606980718
11607	+ use -R option with ldconfig on FreeBSD because otherwise it resets
11608	  the search path to /usr/lib (reported by Dan Nelson).
11609	+ add -soname option when building shared libraries on OpenBSD 2.x
11610	  (request by QingLong).
11611	+ add configure options --with-manpage-format and
11612	  --with-manpage-renames (request by QingLong).
11613	+ correct conversion of CANCELLED_NUMERIC in write_object(), which was
11614	  omitting the high-order byte, producing a 254 in the compiled
11615	  terminfo.
11616	+ modify return-values of tgetflag, tgetnum, tgetstr, tigetflag,
11617	  tigetnum and tigetstr to be compatible with Solaris (gleaned from
11618	  Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8).
11619	+ modify _nc_syserr_abort to abort only when compiled for debugging,
11620	  otherwise simply exit with an error.
11621
11622980711
11623	+ modify Ada95 'gen' program to use appropriate library suffix (e.g.,
11624	  "_g" for a debug build).
11625	+ update Ada95 'make clean' rule to include generics .ali files
11626	+ add a configure test to ensure that if GNAT is found, that it can
11627	  compile/link working Ada95 program.
11628	+ flush output in beep and flash functions, fixing a problem with
11629	  getstr (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov)
11630	+ fix egcs 1.0.2 warning for etip.h (patch by Chris Johns).
11631	+ correct ifdef/brace nesting in lib_sprintf.c (patch by Bernhard
11632	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@Pool.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE>).
11633	+ correct typo in wattr_get macro from 980509 fixes (patch by Dan
11634	  Nelson).
11635
11636980704
11637	+ merge changes from current XFree86 xterm terminfo descriptions.
11638	+ add configure option '--without-ada'.
11639	+ add a smart-default for termcap 'ac' to terminfo 'acs_chars' which
11640	  corresponds to vt100.
11641	+ change translation for termcap 'rs' to terminfo 'rs2', which is
11642	  the documented equivalent, rather than 'rs1'.
11643
11644980627
11645	+ slow 'worm' down a little, for very fast machines.
11646	+ corrected firstchar/lastchar computation in lib_hline.c
11647	+ simplify some expressions with CHANGED_CELL, CHANGED_RANGE and
11648	  CHANGED_TO_EOL macros.
11649	+ modify init_pair so that if a color-pair is reinitialized, we will
11650	  repaint the areas of the screen whose color changes, like SVr4 curses
11651	  (reported by Christian Maurer <maurer@inf.fu-berlin.de>).
11652	+ modify getsyx/setsyx macros to comply with SVr4 man-page which
11653	  says that leaveok() affects their behavior (report by Darryl Miles,
11654	  patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
11655
11656980620
11657	+ review terminfo.5 against Solaris 2.6 curses version, corrected
11658	  several minor errors/omissions.
11659	+ implement tparm %l format.
11660	+ implement tparm printf-style width and precision for %s, %d, %x, %o
11661	  as per XSI.
11662	+ implement tparm dynamic variables (reported by Xiaodan Tang).
11663
11664980613
11665	+ update man-page for for wattr_set, wattr_get (cf:  980509)
11666	+ correct limits in hashtest, which would cause nonprinting characters
11667	  to be written to large screens.
11668	+ correct configure script, when --without-cxx was specified:  the
11669	  wrong variable was used for cf_cv_type_of_bool.  Compilers up to gcc
11670	  2.8 tolerated the missing 'int'.
11671	+ remove the hardcoded name "gcc" for the GNU Ada compiler.  The
11672	  compiler's name might be something like "egcs" (patch by Juergen
11673	  Pfeifer).
11674	+ correct curs_addch.3x, which implied that echochar could directly
11675	  display control characters (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
11676	+ fix typos in ncurses-intro.html (patch by Sidik Isani
11677	  <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
11678
11679980606
11680	+ add configure test for conflicting use of exception in math.h and
11681	  other headers.
11682	+ minor optimization to 'hash()' function in hashmap.c, reduces its
11683	  time by 10%.
11684	+ correct form of LD_SHARED_OPTS for HP-UX 10.x (patch by Tim Mooney).
11685	+ fix missing quotes for 'print' in MKunctrl.awk script (reported by
11686	  Mihai Budiu <mihaib@gs41.sp.cs.cmu.edu>).
11687	> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
11688	+ correct problem on Solaris (with poll() function) where getch could
11689	  hang indefinitely even if timeout(x) was called.  This turned out to
11690	  be because milliseconds was not updated before 'goto retry' in
11691	  _nc_timed_wait.
11692	+ simplified the function _nc_timed_wait and fixed another bug, which
11693	  was the assumption of !GOOD_SELECT && HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY in *timeleft
11694	  assignment.
11695	+ removed the cycle on EINTR, as it seems to be useless.
11696
11697980530
11698	+ add makefile-rule for test/keynames
11699	+ modify run_tic.sh and shlib to ensure that user's .profile does not
11700	  override the $PATH used to run tic (patch by Tim Mooney).
11701	+ restore LD_SHARED_OPTS to $(LD_SHARED_FLAGS) when linking programs,
11702	  needed for HP-UX shared-library path (recommended by Tim Mooney).
11703	+ remove special case of HP-UX -L options, use +b options to embed
11704	  $(libdir) in the shared libraries (recommended by Tim Mooney).
11705	+ add checks for some possible buffer overflows and unchecked
11706	  malloc/realloc/calloc/strdup return values (patch by Todd C Miller
11707	  <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com>)
11708
11709980523
11710	+ correct maxx/maxy expression for num_columns/num_lines in derwin
11711	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
11712	+ add /usr/share/lib/terminfo and /usr/lib/terminfo as compatibility
11713	  fallbacks to _nc_read_entry(), along with --with-terminfo-dirs
11714	  configure option (suggested by Mike Hopkirk).
11715	+ modify config.guess to recognize Unixware 2.1 and 7 (patch by Mike
11716	  Hopkirk <hops@sco.com>).
11717	+ suppress definition of CC_SHARED_OPTS in LDFLAGS_SHARED in c++
11718	  Makefile.in, since this conflicts when g++ is used with HP-UX
11719	  compiler (reported by Tim Mooney).
11720	+ parenthesize 'strcpy' calls in c++ binding to workaround redefinition
11721	  in some C++ implementations (reported by several people running
11722	  egcs with glibc 2.0.93, analysis by Andreas Jaeger.
11723
11724980516
11725	+ modify write_entry.c so that it will not attempt to link aliases
11726	  with embedded '/', but give only a warning.
11727	+ put -L$(libdir) first when linking programs, except for HP-UX.
11728	+ modify comp_scan.c to handle SVr4 terminfo description for att477,
11729	  which contains a colon in the description field.
11730	+ modify configure script to support SCO osr5.0.5 shared libraries,
11731	  from comp.unix.sco.programmer newsgroup item (Mike Hopkirk).
11732	+ eliminate extra GoTo call in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
11733	  Lukyanov).
11734	+ minor adjustments of const/NCURSES_CONST from IRIX compile.
11735	+ add updates based on esr's 980509 version of terminfo.src.
11736
11737980509
11738	+ correct macros for wattr_set, wattr_get, separate wattrset macro from
11739	  these to preserve behavior that allows attributes to be combined with
11740	  color pair numbers.
11741	+ add configure option --enable-no-padding, to allow environment
11742	  variable $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to eliminate non-mandatory padding,
11743	  thereby making terminal emulators (e.g., for vt100) a little more
11744	  efficient (request by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
11745	+ modify configure script to embed ABI in shared libraries for HP-UX
11746	  10.x (detailed request by Tim Mooney).
11747	+ add test/example of the 'filter()' function.
11748	+ add nxterm and xterm-color terminfo description (request by Cristian
11749	  Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>).
11750	+ modify rxvt terminfo description to clear alternate screen before
11751	  switching back to normal screen, for compatibility with applications
11752	  which use xterm (reported by Manoj Kasichainula <manojk@io.com>).
11753	+ modify linux terminfo description to reset color palette (reported
11754	  by Telford Tendys <telford@eng.uts.edu.au>).
11755	+ correction to doupdate, for case where terminal does not support
11756	  insert/delete character.  The logic did not check that there was a
11757	  difference in alignment of changes to old/new screens before
11758	  repainting the whole non-blank portion of the line.  Modified to fall
11759	  through into logic that reduces by the portion which does not differ
11760	  (reported by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
11761	+ minor performance improvement to wnoutrefresh by moving some
11762	  comparisons out of inner loop.
11763
11764980425
11765	+ modify configure script to substitute NCURSES_CONST in curses.h
11766	+ updated terminfo entries for xterm-xf86-v40, xterm-16color,
11767	  xterm-8bit to correspond to XFree86 3.9Ag.
11768	+ remove restriction that forces ncurses to use setaf/setab if the
11769	  number of colors is greater than 8.  (see 970524 for xterm-16color).
11770	+ change order of -L options (so that $(libdir) is searched first) when
11771	  linking tic and other programs, to workaround HP's linker.
11772	  Otherwise, the -L../lib is embedded when linking against shared
11773	  libraries and the installed program does not run (reported by Ralf
11774	  Hildebrandt).
11775	+ modify configuration of shared libraries on Digital Unix so that
11776	  versioning is embedded in the library, rather than implied by
11777	  links (patch by Tim Mooney).
11778
11779980418
11780	+ modify etip.h to avoid conflict with math.h on HP-UX 9.03 with gcc
11781	  2.8.1 which redefines 'exception' (reported by Ralf Hildebrandt
11782	  <R.Hildebrandt@tu-bs.de>).
11783	+ correct configure tests in CF_SHARED_OPTS which used $CC value to
11784	  check for gcc, rather than autoconf's $GCC value.  This did not
11785	  work properly if the full pathname of the compiler were given
11786	  (reported by Michael Yount <yount@csf.Colorado.edu>).
11787	+ revise check for compiler options to force ANSI mode since repeating
11788	  an option such as -Aa causes HP's compiler to fail on its own headers
11789	  (reported by Clint Olsen <olsenc@ichips.intel.com>).
11790
11791980411
11792	+ ifdef'd has_key() and mcprint() as extended functions.
11793	+ modified several prototypes to correspond with 1997 version of
11794	  X/Open Curses (affects ABI since developers have used attr_get).
11795	+ remove spurious trailing blanks in glibc addon-scripts (patch by
11796	  H.J.Lu).
11797	+ insert a few braces at locations where gcc-2.8.x asks to use them to
11798	  avoid ambiguous else's, use -fpic rather than -fPIC for Linux (patch
11799	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
11800
11801980404
11802	+ split SHLIB_LIST into SHLIB_DIRS/SHLIB_LIST to keep -L options
11803	  before -l to accommodate Solaris' linker (reported by Larry Virden).
11804
11805980328
11806	+ modify lib_color.c to eliminate dependency on orig_colors and
11807	  orig_pair, since SVr4 curses does not require these either, but
11808	  uses them when they are available.
11809	+ add detailed usage-message to infocmp.
11810	+ correct a typo in att6386 entry (a "%?" which was "?").
11811	+ add -f option to infocmp and tic, which formats the terminfo
11812	  if/then/else/endif so that they are readable (with newlines and
11813	  tabs).
11814	+ fixes for glibc addon scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
11815
11816980321
11817	+ revise configure macro CF_SPEED_TYPE so that termcap.h has speed_t
11818	  declared (from Adam J Richter <adam@yggdrasil.com>)
11819	+ remove spurious curs_set() call from leaveok() (J T Conklin).
11820	+ corrected handling leaveok() in doupdate() (patch by Alexander V.
11821	  Lukyanov).
11822	+ improved version of wredrawln (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
11823	+ correct c++/Makefile.in so install target do not have embedded ../lib
11824	  to confuse it (patch by Thomas Graf <graf@essi.fr>).
11825	+ add warning to preinstall rule which checks if the installer would
11826	  overwrite a curses.h or termcap.h that is not derived from ncurses.
11827	  (The recommended configuration for developers who need both is to
11828	  use --disable-overwrite).
11829	+ modify preinstall rule in top-level Makefile to avoid implicit
11830	  use of 'sh', to accommodate Ultrix 4.4 (reported by Joao Palhoto
11831	  Matos <jmatos@math.ist.utl.pt>, patch by Thomas Esser
11832	  <te@informatik.uni-hannover.de>)
11833	+ refine ifdef's for TRACE so that libncurses has fewer dependencies
11834	  on libtinfo when TRACE is disabled.
11835	+ modify configure script so that if the --with-termlib option is used
11836	  to generate a separate terminfo library, we chain it to the ncurses
11837	  library with a "-l" option (reported by Darryl Miles and Ian T.
11838	  Zimmerman).
11839
11840980314
11841	+ correct limits and window in wredrawln function (reported/analysis by
11842	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
11843	+ correct sed expression in configure script for --with-fallback
11844	  option (patch by Jesse Thilo).
11845	+ correct some places in configure script where $enableval was used
11846	  rather than $withval (patch by Darryl Miles <dlm@g7led.demon.co.uk>).
11847	+ modify some man-pages so no '.' or '..' falls between TH and SH
11848	  macros, to accommodate man_db program (reported by Ian T. Zimmerman
11849	  <itz@rahul.net>).
11850	+ terminfo.src 10.2.1 downloaded from ESR's webpage (ESR).
11851	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
11852	+ add copyright notices (and rcs id's) on remaining man-pages.
11853	+ corrected prototypes for slk_* functions, using chtype rather than
11854	  attr_t.
11855	+ implemented the wcolor_set() and slk_color() functions
11856	+ the slk_attr_{set,off,on} functions need an additional void*
11857	  parameter according to XSI.
11858	+ fix the C++ and Ada95 binding as well as the man pages to
11859	  reflect above enhancements.
11860
11861980307
11862	+ use 'stat()' rather than 'access()' in toe.c to check for the
11863	  existence of $HOME/.terminfo, since it may be a file.
11864	+ suppress configure CF_CXX_LIBRARY check if we are not using g++
11865	  2.7.x, since this is not needed with g++ 2.8 or egcs (patch by
11866	  Juergen Pfeifer).
11867	+ turn on hashmap scrolling code by default, intend to remedy defects
11868	  by 4.3 release.
11869	+ minor corrections to terminfo.src changelog.
11870
11871980302	4.2 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
11872	+ correct Florian's email address in ncurses-intro.html
11873	+ terminfo.src 10.2.0 (ESR).
11874
11875980228	pre-release
11876	+ add linux-koi8r replace linux-koi8, which is not KOI8 (patch by
11877	  QingLong <qinglong@Bolizm.ihep.su>).
11878	+ minor documentation fixes (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11879	+ add setlocale() call to ncurses.c (reported by Claes G. Lindblad
11880	  <claesg@algonet.se>).
11881	+ correct sign-extension in lib_insstr.c (reported by Sotiris
11882	  Vassilopoulos <svas@leon.nrcps.ariadne-t.gr>)
11883
11884980221	pre-release
11885	+ regenerated some documentation overlooked in 980214 patch
11886	  (ncurses-intro.doc, curs_outopts.3x.html)
11887	+ minor ifdef change to C++ binding to work with gcc 2.8.0 (patch by
11888	  Juergen Pfeifer).
11889	+ change maintainer's mailing address to florian@gnu.org, change
11890	  tentative mailing list address to bug-ncurses-request@gnu.org (patch
11891	  by Florian La Roche).
11892	+ add definition of $(REL_VERSION) to c++/Makefile.in (reported by Gran
11893	  Hasse <gh@raditex.se>).
11894	+ restore version numbers to Ada95 binding, accidentally deleted by
11895	  copyright patch (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11896
11897980214	pre-release
11898	+ remove ncurses.lsm from MANIFEST so that it won't be used in FSF
11899	  distributions, though it is retained in development.
11900	+ correct scaling of milliseconds to nanoseconds in lib_napms.c (patch
11901	  by Jeremy Buhler).
11902	+ update mailing-list information (bug-ncurses@gnu.org).
11903	+ update announcement for upcoming 4.2 release.
11904	+ modify -lm test to check for 'sin()' rather than 'floor()'
11905	+ remove spurious commas from terminfo.src descriptions.
11906	+ change copyright notices to Free Software Foundation
11907
11908980207
11909	+ minor fixes for autoconf macros CF_ERRNO, CF_HELP_MESSAGE and
11910	  CF_SIZECHANGE
11911	+ modify Makefile.glibc so that $(objpfx) is defined (H.J.Lu).
11912	+ ifdef-out true-return from _nc_mouse_inline() which depends on
11913	  merge of QNX patch (pending 4.2 release).
11914	> patch to split off seldom-used modules in ncurses (J T Conklin):
11915	  This reduces size by up to 2.6kb.
11916	+ move functionality of _nc_usleep into napms, add configuration case
11917	  for nanosleep().
11918	+ moved wchgat() from lib_addch.c to lib_chgat.c
11919	+ moved clearok(), immedok(), leaveok(), and scrollok() from
11920	  lib_options.c to lib_clearok.c, lib_immedok.c, lib_leaveok.c and
11921	  lib_scrollok.c.
11922	+ moved napms() from lib_kernel.c to lib_napms.c
11923	+ moved echo() and noecho() from lib_raw.c to lib_echo.c

11934	  2.1.5
11935	+ add ncv capability to FreeBSD console (cons25w), making reverse
11936	  work with color.
11937	+ correct sense of configure-test for sys/time.h inclusion with
11938	  sys/select.h
11939	+ fixes for Ada95/ada_include/Makefile.in to work with --srcdir option.
11940	+ remove unused/obsolete test-program rules from progs/Makefile.in
11941	  (the rules in ncurses/Makefile.in work).
11942	+ remove shared-library loader flags from test/Makefile.in, etc.
11943	+ simplify test/configure.in using new version of autoconf to create
11944	  test/ncurses_cfg.h
11945	+ suppress suffix rules in test/Makefile.in, provide explicit
11946	  dependency to work with --srcdir option and less capable 'make'
11947	  programs.
11948	> adapted from patch for QNX by Xiaodan Tang:
11949	+ initialize %P and %g variables set/used in tparm, and also ensure
11950	  that empty strings don't return a null result from tparam_internal
11951	+ add QNX-specific prototype for vsscanf()
11952	+ move initialization of SP->_keytry from init_keytry() to newterm() to
11953	  avoid resetting it via a keyok() call by mouse_activate().
11954	+ reorganized some functions in lib_mouse() to use case-statements.
11955	+ remove sgr string from qnx terminfo entry since it is reported to
11956	  turn off attributes inconsistently.
11957
11958980124
11959	+ add f/F/b/B commands to ncurses 'b' test to toggle colors, providing
11960	  test for no_color_video.
11961	+ adjusted emx.src to use no_color_video, now works with ncurses 'b'
11962	  and 'k' tests.
11963	+ implement no_color_video attribute, and as a special case, reverse
11964	  colors when the reverse attribute cannot be combined with color.
11965	+ check for empty string in $TERM variable (reported by Brett Michaels
11966	  <brett@xylan.com>).
11967	> from reports by Fred Fish:
11968	+ add configure-test for isascii
11969	+ add configure-test for -lm library.
11970	+ modify CF_BOOL_SIZE to check if C++ bool types are unsigned.
11971	> patches by J.J.G.Ripoll
11972	+ add configure/makefile variables to support .exe extension on
11973	  OS/2 EMX (requires additional autoconf patches).
11974	+ explicitly initialize variables in lib_data.c to appease OS/2 linker
11975	> patches by Fred Fish <fnf@ninemoons.com>
11976	+ misc/Makefile.in (install.data):  Avoid trying to install the CVS
11977	  directory.
11978	+ aclocal.m4 (install.includes):  Remove files in the include directory
11979	  where we are going to install new ones, not the original source
11980	  files.
11981	+ misc/terminfo.src:  Add entry for "beterm", derived from termcap
11982	  distributed with BeOS PR2 using captoinfo.
11983	+ aclocal.m4: Wrap $cf_cv_type_of_bool with quotes (contains space)
11984	+ aclocal.m4: Assume bool types are unsigned.
11985	+ progs/infocmp.c: workaround mwcc 32k function data limit
11986
11987980117
11988	+ correct initialization of color-pair (cf: 970524) in xmas.c, which
11989	  was using only one color-pair for all colors (reported by
11990	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
11991	+ add multithread options for objects build on EMX, for compatibility
11992	  with XFree86.
11993	+ split up an expression in MKlib_gen.sh to work around a problem on
11994	  OS/2 EMX, with 'ash' (patch by J.J.G.Ripoll).
11995	+ change terminfo entries xterm (xterm-xf86-v40), xterm-8bit rs1 to use
11996	  hard reset.
11997	+ rename terminfo entry xterm-xf86-v39t to xterm-xf86-v40
11998	+ remove bold/underline from sun console entries since they're not
11999	  implemented.
12000	+ correct _tracef calls in _tracedump(), which did not separate format
12001	  from parameters.
12002	+ correct getopt string for tic "-o" option, and add it to man-page
12003	  synopsis (reported by Darren Hiebert <darren@hmi.com>).
12004	+ correct typo in panel/Makefile.in, reversed if-statement in scrolling
12005	  optimization (Alexander V.  Lukyanov).
12006	+ test for 'remove()', use 'unlink() if not found (patch by Philippe De
12007	  Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>).
12008	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
12009	+ Improve a feature of the forms driver.  For invisible fields
12010	  (O_VISIBLE off) only the contents but not the attributes are cleared.
12011	  We now clear both.  (Reported by Javier Kohan
12012	  <jkohan@adan.fceia.unr.edu.ar>)
12013	+ The man page form_field_opts.3x makes now clear, that invisible
12014	  fields are also always inactive.
12015	+ adjust ifdef's to compile the C++ binding with the just released
12016	  gcc-2.8.0 c++ and the corresponding new C++ libraries.
12017
12018980110
12019	+ correct "?" command in ncurses.c; it was performing non-screen writes
12020	  while the program was in screen mode.  (It "worked" in 1.9.9e because
12021	  that version sets OPOST and OCRNL incorrectly).
12022	+ return error from functions in lib_kernel, lib_raw and lib_ti if
12023	  cur_term is null, or if underlying I/O fails.
12024	+ amend change to tputs() so that it does not return an error if
12025	  cur_term is null, since some applications depend on being able to use
12026	  tputs without initializing the terminal (reported by Christian J.
12027	  Robinson <infynity@cyberhighway.net>).
12028
12029980103
12030	+ add a copy of emx.src from J.J.G.Ripoll's OS/2 EMX version of ncurses
12031	  1.9.9e, together with fixes/additions for the "ansi" terminal type.
12032	+ add tic check for save/restore cursor if change_scroll_region is
12033	  defined (reference: O'Reilly book).
12034	+ modify read_termcap.c to handle EMX-style pathnames (reported by
12035	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
12036	+ modify lib_raw.c to use EMX's setmode (patch from J.J.G.Ripoll).
12037	  Ripoll says EMX's curses does this.
12038	+ modify _nc_tic_expand() to generate \0 rather than \200.
12039	+ move/revise 'expand()' from dump_entry.c to ncurses library as
12040	  _nc_tic_expand(), for use by tack.
12041	+ decode \a as \007 for terminfo, as per XSI.
12042	+ correct translation of terminfo "^@", to \200, like \0.
12043	+ modify next_char() to treat <cr><lf> the same as <newline>, for
12044	  cross-platform compatibility.
12045	+ use new version of autoconf (971230) to work around limited
12046	  environment on CLIX, due to the way autoconf builds --help message.
12047	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12048	+ check that the Ada95 binding runs against the correct version of
12049	  ncurses.
12050	+ insert constants about the library version into the main spec-file of
12051	  the Ada95 binding.
12052
12053971227
12054	+ modify open/fopen calls to use binary mode, needed for EMX.
12055	+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.10 mods for OS/2
12056	  EMX (from J.J.G.Ripoll).
12057	+ generated ncurses_cfg.h with patch (971222) to autoconf 2.12 which
12058	  bypasses limited sed buffer length.
12059	> several changes from Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll <worm@arrakis.es>
12060	  (J.J.G.Ripoll) to support OS/2 EMX:
12061	+ add a _scrolling flag to SP, to set when we encounter a terminal
12062	  that simply cannot scroll.
12063	+ corrected logic in _nc_add_to_try(), by ensuring that strings with
12064	  embedded \200 characters are matched.
12065	+ don't assume the host has 'link()' function, for linking terminfo
12066	  entries.
12067
12068971220
12069	+ if there's no ioctl's to support sigwinch handler, disable it.
12070	+ add configure option --disable-ext-funcs to remove the extended
12071	  functions from the build.
12072	+ add configure option --with-termlib to generate the terminfo
12073	  functions as a separate library.
12074	+ add 'sources' rule to facilitate cross-compiling.
12075	+ review/fix order of mostlyclean/clean/distclean rules.
12076	+ modify install-rule for headers to first remove old header, in
12077	  case there was a symbolic link that confuses the install script.
12078	+ corrected substitution for NCURSES_CONST in term.h (cf: 971108)
12079	+ add null pointer checks in wnoutrefresh(), overlap() (patch by
12080	  Xiaodan Tang <xtang@qnx.com>)
12081	+ correct tputs(), which could dereference a null cur_term if invoked
12082	  before terminal is initialized (patch by Christopher Seawood
12083	  <cls@seawood.org>)
12084	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12085	+ makes better use of "pragma Inline" in the Ada95 binding
12086	+ resynchronizes the generated html manpages
12087
12088971213
12089	+ additional fixes for man-pages section-references
12090	+ add (for debugging) a check for ich/ich1 conflict with smir/rmir
12091	  to tic, etc.
12092	+ remove hpa/vpa from rxvt terminal description because they are not
12093	  implemented correctly, added sgr0.
12094	+ change ncurses 's' to use raw mode, so ^Q works (reported by Rudolf
12095	  Leitgeb <leitgeb@leland.stanford.edu>)
12096
12097971206
12098	+ modify protection when installing libraries to (normally) not
12099	  executable.  HP-UX shared libraries are an exception.
12100	+ add configure check for 'tack'.
12101	+ implement script for renaming section-references in man-page install,
12102	  for Debian configuration.
12103	+ add validity-check for SP in trace code in baudrate() (reported by
12104	  Daniel Weaver).
12105	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov (fixes to match sol25 curses)
12106	+ modify 'overlay()' so that copy applies target window background to
12107	  characters.
12108	+ correct 'mvwin()' so that it does not clear the previous locations.
12109	+ correct lib_acs.c so that 8-bit character is not sign expanded in
12110	  case of wide characters in chtype.
12111	+ correct control-char test in lib_addch.c for use with wide chars
12112	+ use attribute in the chtype when adding a control character in
12113	  lib_addch.c control char was added with current attribute
12114
12115971129
12116	+ save/restore errno in _tracef() function
12117	+ change treatment of initialize_color to use a range of 0..1000
12118	  (recommended by Daniel Weaver).
12119	+ set umask in mkinstalldirs, fixing problems reported by users who
12120	  have set root's umask to 077.
12121	+ correct bug in tic that caused capabilities to be reprinted at the
12122	  end of output when they had embedded comments.
12123	+ rewrote wredrawln to correspond to XSI, and split-out since it is
12124	  not often used (from report by Alexander V. Lukyanov, 970825)
12125	+ rewrote Dan Nelson's change to make it portable, as well as to
12126	  correct logic for handling backslashes.
12127	+ add code to _nc_tgetent() to make it work more like a real tgetent().
12128	  It removes all empty fields, and removes all but the first in a group
12129	  of duplicate caps.  The code was pulled from the BSD libtermcap code
12130	  in termcap.c (patch by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>
12131	+ don't include --enable-widec in the --with-develop configure option,
12132	  since it is not binary-compatible with 4.1 (noted by Alexander V.
12133	  Lukyanov)
12134	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12135	+ further improvements of the usage of elaboration pragmas in the Ada95
12136	  binding
12137	+ enhanced Ada95 sample to use the user_data mechanism for panels.
12138	+ a fix for the configuration script to make gnat-3.10 the required
12139	  version.
12140	+ resync of the html version of the manpages
12141
12142971122
12143	> fixes/updates for terminfo.src:
12144	+ add vt220-js, pilot, rbcomm, datapoint entries from esr's 27-jun-97
12145	  version.
12146	+ add hds200 description (Walter Skorski)
12147	+ add EMX 0.9b descriptions
12148	+ correct rmso/smso capabilities in wy30-mc and wy50-mc (Daniel Weaver)
12149	+ rename xhpterm back to hpterm.
12150	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12151	+ Improves the usage of elaboration pragmas for the Ada95 binding.
12152	+ Adds a translation of the test/rain.c into Ada95 to the samples.
12153	  This has been contributed to the project by Laurent Pautet
12154	  (pautet@gnat.com)
12155
12156971115
12157	+ increase MAX_NAME_SIZE to 512 to handle extremely long alias list
12158	  in HP-UX terminfo.
12159	+ correction & simplification of delay computation in tputs, based on
12160	  comments from Daniel Weaver.
12161	+ replace test for SCO with more precise header tests.
12162	+ add configure test for unsigned literals, use in NCURSES_BITS macro.
12163	+ comment-out the -PIC, etc., flags from c++, progs and test makefiles
12164	  since they probably are not needed, and are less efficient (noted by
12165	  Juergen Fluk)
12166	+ add -L$(libdir) to loader options, after -L../lib so that loaders
12167	  that record this information will tend to do the right thing if
12168	  the programs are moved around after installing them (suggested by
12169	  Juergen Fluk).
12170	+ add -R option to loader options for programs for Solaris if the
12171	  --enable-rpath option is specified for the libraries.
12172
12173971112
12174	+ correct installed filename for shared libraries on *BSD (reported by
12175	  Juergen Fluk).
12176
12177971108
12178	+ cleanup logic for deciding when tputs() should call delay_output(),
12179	  based on comments from Daniel Weaver.
12180	+ modified tputs() to avoid use of float.
12181	+ correct use of trailpad in tputs(), which used the wrong variable
12182	  in call to delay_output().
12183	+ correct inverted expression for null-count in delay_output()
12184	  (analysis by Daniel Weaver).
12185	+ apply --enable-rpath option to Solaris (requested by Larry Virden).
12186	+ correct substitution of EXTRA_CFLAGS for gcc 2.6.3
12187	+ correct check for error-return by _nc_tgetent(), which returns 0
12188	  for success.
12189	+ add configure test for BSD 4.4 cgetent() function, modify
12190	  read_termcap.c to use the host's version of that if found, using the
12191	  terminal database on FreeBSD (reported by Peter Wemm).
12192	+ add u8, u9 strings to sun-il description for Daniel Weaver.
12193	+ use NCURSES_CONST in panel's user-pointer.
12194	+ modify edit_cfg.sh and MKterm.h.awk.in to substitute NCURSES_CONST
12195	  so that will work on NeXT.
12196	+ use _nc_set_screen() rather than assignments to SP to fix port to
12197	  NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
12198
12199971101
12200	+ force mandatory padding in bell and flash_screen, as specified in
12201	  XSI.
12202	+ don't allow padding_baud_rate to override mandatory delays (reported
12203	  by Daniel Weaver).
12204	+ modify delay_output() to use _nc_timed_wait() if no baudrate has been
12205	  defined, or if the cur_term pointer is not initialized.  XSI treats
12206	  this as unspecified.  (requested by Daniel Weaver).
12207	+ change getcap-cache ifdef's to eliminate unnecessary chdir/mkdir
12208	  when that feature is not configured.
12209	+ remove _nc_err_abort() calls when write_entry.c finds a directory but
12210	  cannot write to it, e.g., when translating part/all of /etc/termcap
12211	  (reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>).
12212	  (this dates back to 951102 in 1.9.7a).
12213	+ minor ifdef fixes to compile with atac and glibc 2.0.5c
12214	+ add check for -lgen when configuring regexpr.h
12215	+ modify Solaris shared-library option "-d y" to "-dy" to workaround
12216	  incompatibility of gcc 2.7.2 vs vendor's tools.
12217
12218971026
12219	+ correct ifdef's for struct winsize vs struct ttysize in lib_setup.c
12220	  to compile on SCO.
12221	+ remove dangling backslash in panel/Makefile.in
12222	+ modify MKkeyname.awk to work with SCO's nawk, which dumps core in the
12223	  length() function.
12224	+ correct length of allocation in _nc_add_to_try(), to allow for
12225	  trailing null.
12226	+ correct logic in _nc_remove_key(), which was discarding too many
12227	  nodes (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov)
12228
12229971025
12230	+ add definition for $(REL_VERSION) to test/Makefile.in, so *BSD
12231	  shared libraries link properly (see 970524).
12232	+ modify Linux shared-library generation to include library
12233	  dependencies (e.g., -lncurses and -lgpm) in the forms, menu and
12234	  panel libraries (suggested by Juergen Pfeifer).
12235	+ modify configure script to use config.guess and config.sub rather
12236	  than uname, which is unreliable on some systems.
12237	+ updated Makefile.glibc, test-built with glibc 2.0.5c
12238	+ modify keyname() to return values consistent with SVr4 curses (patch
12239	  by Juergen Fluk).
12240	> changes requested by Daniel Weaver:
12241	+ modify delay_output() so that it uses the same output function as
12242	  tputs() if called from that function.
12243	+ move _baudrate from SCREEN to TERMINAL so that low-level use of
12244	  tputs works when SP is not set.
12245	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12246	+ factor lib_menu and lib_form into smaller modules
12247	+ clean up the interface between panel and SCREEN
12248	+ minor changes to the Ada95 mouse support implementation
12249	+ minor bugfix in C++ binding to ripoff windows
12250	+ fix a few Ada95 html documentation pages
12251
12252971018
12253	+ split-out lib_ungetch.c, make runtime link to resizeterm() to
12254	  decouple those modules from lib_restart.c
12255	+ add xterm-xf86-v39t description to terminfo.src
12256	+ reset SP->_endwin in lib_tstp.c cleanup() function after calling
12257	  endwin() to avoid unnecessary repainting if the application has
12258	  established an atexit function, etc.  Encountered this problem in
12259	  the c++ demo, whose destructors repaint the screen.
12260	+ combine _nc_get_screensize() and resizeterm() calls as new function
12261	  _nc_update_screensize().
12262	+ minor fixes to allow compile with g++ (suggested by Nelson H. F.
12263	  Beebe).
12264	+ implement install-rules for Ada95 makefiles.
12265	+ use screen_lines or MAXLINES as needed where LINES was coded,
12266	  as well as screen_columns for COLS, in the ncurses library.
12267	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12268	+ modify logic for ripped-off lines to handle several SCREENs.
12269	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12270	+ factors lib_slk.c into some smaller modules
12271	+ factors panel.c into some smaller modules
12272	+ puts the static information about the current panel stack into the
12273	  SCREEN structure to allow different panel stacks on different
12274	  screens.
12275	+ preliminary fix for an error adjusting LINES to account for
12276	  ripped-off lines.
12277
12278971011
12279	+ move _nc_max_click_interval and other mouse interface items to SCREEN
12280	  struct so that they are associated with a single terminal, and also
12281	  save memory when the application does not need a mouse (roughly 3k vs
12282	  0.5k on Linux).
12283	+ modify mouseinterval() so that a negative parameter queries the
12284	  click-interval without modifying it.
12285	+ modify ncurses 'i' test to work with ncurses' apparent extension from
12286	  SVr4, i.e., allows nocbreak+noecho (analysis by Alexander V.
12287	  Lukyanov).
12288	+ add configure options --with-ada-includes and --with-ada-objects,
12289	  to drive Ada95 binding install (not yet implemented).
12290	+ install C++ binding as -lncurses++ and associated headers with the
12291	  other ncurses headers.
12292	+ fix header uninstall if configure --srcdir is used.
12293	> minor interface changes to support 'tack' program -TD
12294	  (request by Daniel Weaver <danw@znyx.com>).
12295	+ export functions _nc_trans_string() and _nc_msec_cost().
12296	+ add variable _nc_nulls_sent, to record the number of padding
12297	  characters output in delay_output().
12298	+ move tests for generic_type and hard_copy terminals in setupterm()
12299	  to the end of that function so that the library will still be
12300	  initialized, though not generally useful for curses programs.
12301	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12302	+ modify ClrBottom() to avoid using clr_eos if there is only one line
12303	  to erase.
12304	+ typo in configure --help.
12305	> patch by J T Conklin (with minor resync against Juergen's changes)
12306	+ split-out lib_flash.c from lib_beep.c
12307	+ split-out lib_hline.c and lib_vline.c from lib_box.c
12308	+ split-out lib_wattron.c, lib_wattroff.c from lib_addch.c
12309
12310971005
12311	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12312	+ correct source/target of c++/edit_cfg.sh
12313
12314971004
12315	+ add color, mouse support to kterm terminfo entry.
12316	+ modify lib_mouse.c to recognize rxvt, kterm, color_xterm also as
12317	  providing "xterm"-style mouse.
12318	+ updated rxvt's terminfo description to correspond to 2.21b, with
12319	  fixes for the acsc (the box1 capability is incorrect, ech1 does not
12320	  work).
12321	+ fix logic in parse_entry.c that discarded acsc when 'synthesizing'
12322	  an entry from equivalents in XENIX or AIX.  This lets ncurses handle
12323	  the distribution copy of rxvt's terminfo.
12324	+ modify acsc capability for linux and linux-koi8 terminfo descriptions
12325	  (from Pavel Roskin <pavel@absolute.spb.su>).
12326	+ corrected definition in curses.h for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I'
12327	  rather than 'i' (see 970802).
12328	+ updated terminfo.src with reformatted acsc entries, and repaired the
12329	  trashed entries with spurious '\' characters that this exposed.
12330	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to reformat acsc entries into canonical
12331	  form (sorted, unique mapping).
12332	+ add configure script to generate c++/etip.h
12333	+ add configure --with-develop option, to enable by default most of the
12334	  experimental options (requested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12335	+ rename 'deinstall' to 'uninstall', following GNU convention
12336	  (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12337	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12338	+ modify tactics 2 and 5 in onscreen_mvcur(), to allow them on the last
12339	  line of the screen, since carriage return will not cause a newline.
12340	+ remove clause from PutCharLR() that would try to use
12341	  eat_newline_glitch since that apparently does not work on some
12342	  terminals (e.g., M$ telnet).
12343	+ correct a limit check in scroll_csr_backward()
12344	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
12345	+ adds dummy implementations of methods above() and below() to the
12346	  NCursesPanel class.
12347	+ fixes missing returncode in NCursesWindow::ripoffline()
12348	+ fixes missing returncode in TestApplication::run() in demo.cc
12349	+ We should at least give a comment in etip.h why it is currently a
12350	  problem to install the C++ binding somewhere
12351	+ makes the WINDOW* argument of wenclose() a const.
12352	+ modifies several of the routines in lib_adabind.c to use a const
12353	  WINDOW* argument.
12354
12355970927
12356	+ add 'deinstall' rules.
12357	+ use explicit assignments in configure --without-progs option to
12358	  work around autoconf bug which doesn't always set $withval.
12359	+ check for ldconfig, don't try to run it if not found.
12360	+ implement simple/unoptimized case in lib_doupdate.c to handle
12361	  display with magic cookie glitch, tested with ncurses.c program.
12362	+ correct missing _tracef in getmouse(), to balance the returnCode
12363	  macro.
12364	+ simplify show_attr() in ncurses.c using termattrs().
12365	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
12366	+ provides missing inlines for mvw[hv]line in cursesw.h of the C++
12367	  binding
12368	+ fixes a typo in a comment of frm_driver.c
12369	+ Enhances Ada95 Makefiles to fulfill the requirement of GNAT-3.10 that
12370	  generics should be compiled.  Proper fixes to the configuration
12371	  scripts are also provided.
12372
12373970920
12374	+ several modifications to the configure script (requested by Ward
12375	  Horner):
12376	  + add configure options --without-progs, to suppress the build of the
12377	    utility programs, e.g., for cross-compiling.
12378	  + add $(HOSTCCFLAGS) and $(HOSTLDFLAGS) symbols to ncurses
12379	    Makefile.in, to simplify setup for cross compiling.
12380	  + add logic in configure script to recognize "--target=vxworks", and
12381	    generate load/install actions for VxWorks objects.
12382	+ move typedef for sigaction_t into SigAction.h to work around problem
12383	  generating lint library.
12384	+ modify fty_regex.c to reflect renaming of ifdef's for regular
12385	  expressions.
12386	+ simplify ifdef in lib_setup.c for TIOCGWINSZ since that symbol may
12387	  reside in <sys/ioctl.h>.
12388	+ merge testcurs.c with version from PDCurses 2.3, clarifying some of
12389	  the more obscure tests, which rely upon color.
12390	+ use macros getbegyx() and getmaxyx() in newdemo.c and testcurs.c
12391	+ modify ncurses.c to use getbegyx() and getmaxyx() macros to cover up
12392	  implementation difference wrt SVr4 curses, allow 's' test to work.
12393	+ add missing endwin() to testscanw.c program (reported by Fausto
12394	  Saporito <fausap@itb.it>).
12395	+ fixes/updates for Makefile.glibc and related files under sysdeps
12396	  (patch by H.J.Lu).
12397	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
12398	+ add checks for null pointers, especially WINDOW's throughout the
12399	  ncurses library.
12400	+ solve a problem with wrong calculation of panel overlapping (reported
12401	  by Ward Horner):
12402	  + make sure that a panel's window isn't a pad.
12403	  + do more error checking in module lib_touch.c
12404	+ missing files for Ada95 binding from the last patch
12405	+ synch. of generated html pages (RCS-Id's were wrong in html files)
12406	+ support for Key_Resize in Ada binding
12407	+ changed documentation style in ./c++/cursesm.h
12408	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12409	+ undo attempt to do recursive inlining for PutChar(), noting that it
12410	  did not improve timing measurably, but inflated the size of
12411	  lib_doupdate.o
12412
12413970913
12414	+ modify rain.c to use color.
12415	+ correct scroll_csr_backward() to match scroll_csr_forward().
12416	+ minor adjustment to llib-lncurses, to work with Solaris 2.5.1
12417	+ minor fixes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure to reflect renaming
12418	  of configure cache variables in 970906.
12419	+ correct logic involving changes to O_VISIBLE option in
12420	  Synchronize_Options function in frm_driver.c (Tony Hoffmann
12421	  <Tony.Hoffmann@hia.nrc.ca>)
12422	+ add $(HOSTCC) symbol to ncurses Makefile.in, to simplify setup for
12423	  cross compiling (suggested by Chris Johns).
12424	+ modify ifdef in lib_setup.c to only include <sys/ioctl.h> if we can
12425	  use it to support screen-size calculation (reported by Chris Johns).
12426	+ #undef unctrl to avoid symbol conflict in port to RTEMS (reported by
12427	  Chris Johns <cjohns@plessey.com.au>)
12428	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
12429	+ simplified, made minor corrections to Ada95 binding to form
12430	  fieldtype.
12431	+ The C++ binding has been enhanced:
12432	  + Improve NCursesWindow class:  added additional methods to cover
12433	    more ncurses functionality.  Make refresh() and noutrefresh()
12434	    virtual members to allow different implementation in the
12435	    NCursesPanel class.
12436	  + CAUTION:  changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of
12437	    NCursesWindow class.
12438	  + Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a
12439	    reimplementation of refresh() in the base class.  Added
12440	    noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel.
12441	  + Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform
12442	    functionality.
12443	  + Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to etip.h
12444	  + Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration of
12445	    menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of title lines
12446	    and Soft-Label-Keys for an application.
12447	  + Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menu's fieldlist.
12448	  + Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for menus.
12449	  + Enhanced demo.
12450	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_def.c:  take into account that copyarg and
12451	  freearg for a fieldtype may be NULL, makearg must not be NULL
12452	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_type.c:  in set_fieldtype_arg() makearg must
12453	  not be NULL, copyarg and freearg may be NULL.
12454	+ Fixed a bug in form/frm_def.c:  Allow Disconnect_Fields() if it is
12455	  already disconnected.
12456	+ Enhance form/frm_driver.c:  Allow growth of dynamic fields also on
12457	  navigation requests.
12458	+ Fixed a bug in form/fty_enum.c:  wrong position of postincrement in
12459	  case-insensitiva comparison routine.
12460	+ Enhanced form/lib_adabind.c with function _nc_get_field() to get a
12461	  forms field by index.
12462	+ Enhanced menu/m_adabind.c with function _nc_get_item() to get a menus
12463	  item by index.
12464	+ Fixed in curses.h.in:  make chtype argument for pechochar() constant.
12465	  Mark wbkgdset() as implemented, remove wbkgdset macro, because it was
12466	  broken (didn't handle colors correctly).
12467	+ Enhanced lib_mouse.c: added _nc_has_mouse() function
12468	+ Added _nc_has_mouse() prototype to curses.priv.h
12469	+ Modified lib_bkgd.c:  hopefully correct implementation of wbkgdset();
12470	  streamlined implementation of wbkgd()
12471	+ Modified lib_mvwin.c:  Disable move of a pad.  Implement (costly)
12472	  move of subwindows.  Fixed update behavior of movements of regular
12473	  windows.
12474	+ Fixed lib_pad.c:  make chtype argument of pechochar() const.
12475	+ Fixed lib_window.c:  dupwin() is not(!) in every bit a really clone
12476	  of the original.  Subwindows become regular windows by doing a
12477	  dupwin().
12478	+ Improved manpage form_fieldtype.3x
12479	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12480	+ simplify the PutChar() handling of exit_am_mode, because we already
12481	  know that auto_right_margin is true.
12482	+ add a check in PutChar() for ability to insert to the case of
12483	  shifting character to LR corner.
12484	+ in terminal initialization by _nc_screen_resume(), make sure that
12485	  terminal right margin mode is known.
12486	+ move logic that invokes touchline(), or does the equivalent, into
12487	  _nc_scroll_window().
12488	+ modify scrolling logic use of insert/delete line capability, assuming
12489	  that they affect the screen contents only within the current
12490	  scrolling region.
12491	+ modify rain.c to demonstrate SIGWINCH handler.
12492	+ remove logic from getch() that would return an ERR if the application
12493	  called getch() when the cursor was at the lower-right corner of the
12494	  physical screen, and the terminal does not have insert-character
12495	  ability.
12496	+ change view.c so that it breaks out of getch() loop if a KEY_RESIZE
12497	  is read, and modify logic in getch() so this fix will yield the
12498	  desired behavior, i.e., the screen is repainted automatically when
12499	  the terminal window is resized.
12500
12501970906
12502	+ add configure option --enable-sigwinch
12503	+ modify view.c to test KEY_RESIZE logic, with "-r" option.
12504	+ modify testcurs.c to eliminate misleading display wrt cursor type
12505	  by testing if the terminal supports cnorm, civis, cvvis.
12506	+ several fixes for m68k/NeXT 4.0, to bring cur_term, _nc_curr_line and
12507	  _nc_curr_col variables into linked programs:  move these variables,
12508	  making new modules lib_cur_term and trace_buf (reported by Francisco
12509	  Alberto Tomei Torres <fatomei@sandburg.unm.edu>).
12510	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12511	+ add pseudo-functionkey KEY_RESIZE which is returned by getch() when
12512	  the SIGWINCH handler has been called since the last call to
12513	  doupdate().
12514	+ modify lib_twait.c to hide EINTR only if HIDE_EINTR is defined.
12515	+ add SIGWINCH handler to ncurses library which is used if there is no
12516	  application SIGWINCH handler in effect when the screen is
12517	  initialized.
12518	+ make linked list of all SCREEN structures.
12519	+ move curses.h include before definition of SCREEN to use types in
12520	  that structure.
12521	+ correction to ensure that wgetstr uses only a newline to force a
12522	  scroll (970831).
12523
12524970831
12525	+ add experimental configure option --enable-safe-sprintf; the normal
12526	  mode now allocates a buffer as large as the screen for the
12527	  lib_printw.c functions.
12528	+ modify wgetch to refresh screen when reading ungetch'd characters,
12529	  since the application may require this - SVr4 does this.
12530	+ refine treatment of newline in wgetstr to echo only when this would
12531	  force the screen to scroll.
12532
12533970830
12534	+ remove override in wgetstr() that forces keypad(), since SVr4 does
12535	  not do this.
12536	+ correct y-reference for erasure in wgetstr() when a wrap forces a
12537	  scroll.
12538	+ correct x-position in waddch() after a wrap forces a scroll.
12539	+ echo newline in wgetstr(), making testscanw.c scroll properly when
12540	  scanw is done.
12541	+ modify vwscanw() to avoid potential buffer overflow.
12542	+ rewrote lib_printw.c to eliminate fixed-buffer limits.
12543	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12544	+ correct an error in handling cooked mode in wgetch(); processing
12545	  was in the wrong order.
12546	+ simplified logic in wgetch() that handles backspace, etc., by using
12547	  wechochar().
12548	+ correct wechochar() so that it interprets the output character as
12549	  in waddch().
12550	+ modify pechochar() to use prefresh() rather than doupdate(), since
12551	  the latter does not guarantee immediate refresh of the pad.
12552	+ modify pechochar() so that if called with a non-pad WINDOW, will
12553	  invoke wechochar() instead.
12554	+ modify fifo indices to allow fifo to be longer than 127 bytes.
12555
12556970823
12557	+ add xterm-8bit to terminfo.src
12558	+ moved logic for SP->_fifohold inside check_pending() to make it
12559	  work properly when we add calls to that function.
12560	+ ensure that bool functions return only TRUE or FALSE, and TRUE/FALSE
12561	  are assigned to bool values (patch by H.J.Lu).
12562	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12563	+ several fixes to getch:
12564	  1.  Separate cooked and raw keys in fifo
12565	  2.  Fix the case of ungetch'ed KEY_MOUSE
12566	  3.  wrap the code for hiding EINTR with ifdef HIDE_EINTR
12567	  4.  correctly handle input errors (i.e., EINTR) without loss of raw
12568	      keys
12569	  5.  recognize ESC KEY_LEFT and similar
12570	  6.  correctly handle the case of reception of KEY_MOUSE from gpm
12571	+ correct off-by-one indexing error in _nc_mouse_parse(), that caused
12572	  single mouse events (press/release) to be ignored in favor of
12573	  composed events (click).  Improves on a fix from integrating gpm
12574	  support in 961229.
12575	+ add another call to check_pending, before scrolling, for
12576	  line-breakout optimization
12577	+ improve hashmap.c by
12578	  1.  fixed loop condition in grow_hunks()
12579	  2.  not marking lines with offset 0
12580	  3.  fixed condition of 'too far' criteria, thus one-line hunks are
12581	  ignored and two lines interchanged won't pass.
12582	+ rewrote/simplified _nc_scroll_optimize() by separating into two
12583	  passes, forward/backward, looking for chunks moving only in the given
12584	  direction.
12585	+ move logic that emits sgr0 when initializing the screen to
12586	  _nc_screen_init(), now invoked from newterm.
12587	+ move cursor-movement cleanup from endwin() into _nc_mvcur_wrap()
12588	  function and screen cleanup (i.e., color) into _nc_screen_wrap()
12589	  function.
12590	+ add new functions _nc_screen_init(), _nc_screen_resume() and
12591	  _nc_screen_wrap().
12592	+ rename _nc_mvcur_scrolln() to _nc_scrolln().
12593	+ add a copy of acs_map[] to the SCREEN structure, where it can be
12594	  stored/retrieved via set_term().
12595	+ move variables _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok, _nc_windows into the SCREEN
12596	  structure.
12597
12598970816
12599	+ implement experimental _nc_perform_scroll().
12600	+ modify newterm (actually _nc_setupscreen()) to emit an sgr0 when
12601	  initializing the screen, as does SVr4 (reported by Alexander V.
12602	  Lukyanov).
12603	+ added test_progs rule to ncurses/Makefile.
12604	+ modify test/configure.in to check if initscr is already in $LIBS
12605	  before looking for (n)curses library.
12606	+ correct version-number in configure script for OSF1 shared-library
12607	  options (patch by Tim Mooney).
12608	+ add -DNDEBUG to CPPFLAGS for --enable-assertions (as Juergen
12609	  originally patched) since the c++ demo files do not necessarily
12610	  include ncurses_cfg.h
12611	+ supply default value for --enable-assertions option in configure
12612	  script (reported by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu>).
12613	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12614	+ correct/simplify logic of werase(), wclrtoeol() and wclrbot().  See
12615	  example firstlast.c
12616	+ optimize waddch_literal() and waddch_nosync() by factoring out
12617	  common subexpressions.
12618	+ correct sense of NDEBUG ifdef for CHECK_POSITION macro.
12619	+ corrections to render_char(), to make handling of colored blanks
12620	  match SVr4 curses, as well as to correct a bug that xor'd space
12621	  against the background character.
12622	+ replaced hash function with a faster one (timed it)
12623	+ rewrote the hashmap algorithm to be one-pass, this avoids multiple
12624	  cost_effective() calls on the same lines.
12625	+ modified cost_effective() so it is now slightly more precise.
12626	> patches for glibc integration (H.J.Lu):
12627	+ add modules define_key, keyok, name_match, tries
12628	+ add makefile rules for some of the unit tests in ncurses (mvcur,
12629	  captoinfo, hardscroll, hashmap).
12630	+ update Linux configure-script for wide-character definitions.
12631
12632970809
12633	+ modify _tracebits() to show the character size (e.g., CS8).
12634	+ modify tparm() to emit '\200' where the generated string would have a
12635	  null (reported by From:  Ian Dall <Ian.Dall@dsto.defence.gov.au> for
12636	  terminal type ncr7900).
12637	+ modify install process so that ldconfig is not invoked if the
12638	  package is built with an install-prefix.
12639	+ correct test program for chtype size (reported by Tim Mooney).
12640	+ add configure option --disable-scroll-hints, using this to ifdef the
12641	  logic that computes indices for _nc_scroll_optimize().
12642	+ add module ncurses/softscroll.c, to perform single-stage computation
12643	  of scroll indices used in _nc_scroll_optimize().  This is faster than
12644	  the existing scrolling algorithm, but tends to make too-small hunks.
12645	+ eliminate fixed buffer size in _nc_linedump().
12646	+ minor fixes to lib_doupdate.c to add tradeoff between clr_eol (el)
12647	  and clr_bol (el1), refine logic in ClrUpdate() and ClrBottom() (patch
12648	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12649	+ add test/testaddch.c, from a pending patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov.
12650	+ correct processing of "configure --enable-assertions" option (patch
12651	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
12652
12653970802
12654	+ add '-s' (single-step) option too test/hashtest.c, correct an error
12655	  in loop limit for '-f' (footer option), toggle scrollok() when
12656	  writing footer to avoid wrap at lower-right corner.
12657	+ correct behavior of clrtoeol() immediately after wrapping cursor,
12658	  which was not clearing the line at the cursor position (reported by
12659	  Liviu Daia <daia@stoilow.imar.ro>).
12660	+ corrected mapping for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I' rather than 'i'
12661	  (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@tezcat.com>).
12662	+ many corrections to make progs/capconvert work, as well as make it
12663	  reasonably portable and integrated with ncurses 4.1 (reported by Dave
12664	  Furstenau <df@ravine.binary.net>).
12665
12666970726
12667	+ add flag SP->_fifohold, corresponding logic to modify the behavior of
12668	  the line breakout logic so that if the application does not read
12669	  input, refreshes will not be stopped, but only slowed.
12670	+ generate slk_attr_off(), slk_attr_on(), slk_attr_set(), vid_attr(),
12671	  ifdef'd for wide-character support, since ncurses' WA_xxx attribute
12672	  masks are identical with the A_xxx masks.
12673	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to generate ifdef'd functions to support optional
12674	  configuration of wide-characters.
12675	+ modify tset to behave more like SVr4's tset, which does not modify
12676	  the settings of intr, quit or erase unless they are given as command
12677	  options (reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>).
12678	+ modify tset to look in /etc/ttys or /etc/ttytype if the configuration
12679	  does not have getttynam().
12680	+ extend baudrate table in tset.c to match baudrate() function.
12681	+ add table entries for B230400 and B460800 to baudrate() function.
12682	+ improve breakout logic by allowing it before the first line updated,
12683	  which is what SVr4 curses does (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12684	+ correct initialization of vcost in relative_move(), for cursor-down
12685	  case (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12686	> nits gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-3:
12687	+ install symbolic link for intotocap.
12688	+ reference libc directly when making shared libraries.
12689	+ correct renaming of curs_scr_dmp.3x in man_db.renames.
12690	+ guard tgetflag() and other termcap functions against null cur_term
12691	  pointer.
12692
12693970719
12694	+ corrected initial state of software echo (error in 970405, reported
12695	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12696	+ reviewed/added messages to configure script, so that all non-test
12697	  options should be accompanied by a message.
12698	+ add configure check for long filenames, using this to determine if
12699	  it is safe to allow long aliases for terminal descriptions as does
12700	  SVr4.
12701	+ add configure options for widec (wide character), hashmap (both
12702	  experimental).
12703	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12704	+ hashmap.c - improved by heuristic, so that scroll test works much
12705	  better when csr is not available.
12706	+ hardscroll.c - patched so that it continues to scroll other chunks
12707	  after failure to scroll one.
12708	+ lib_doupdate.c - _nc_mvcur_scrolln extended to handle more cases; csr
12709	  is avoided as it is relative costly.  Fixed wrong coordinates in one
12710	  case and wrong string in TRACE.
12711	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12712	+ modify C++ binding to compile on AIX 4.x with the IBM C-SET++
12713	  compiler.
12714
12715970712
12716	+ remove alternate character set from kterm terminfo entry; it uses the
12717	  shift-out control for a purpose incompatible with curses, i.e., font
12718	  switching.
12719	+ disentangle 'xterm' terminfo entry from some derived entries that
12720	  should be based on xterm-r6 instead.
12721	+ add cbt to xterm-xf86-xv32 terminfo entry; I added the emulation for
12722	  XFree86 3.1.2F, but overlooked its use in terminfo then - T.Dickey.
12723	+ correct logic in lib_mvcur.c that uses back_tab.
12724
12725970706
12726	+ correct change from 970628 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
12727	  contents of curscr are saved in newscr before clearing the screen.
12728	  This is needed to make repainting work with the present logic of
12729	  TransformLine().
12730	+ use napms() rather than sleep() in tset.c to avoid interrupting I/O.
12731
12732970705
12733	+ add limit checks to _nc_read_file_entry() to guard against overflow
12734	  of buffer when reading incompatible terminfo format, e.g, from OSF/1.
12735	+ correct some loop-variable errors in xmc support in lib_doupdate.c
12736	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to add gaps, specified by user, to allow
12737	  investigation of interaction with xmc (magic cookie) code.
12738	+ correct typo in 970524 mods to xmas.c, had omitted empty parameter
12739	  list from has_colors(), which gcc ignores, but SVr4 does not
12740	  (reported by Larry Virden).
12741	+ correct rmso capability in wy50-mc description.
12742	+ add configure option "--enable-hard-tabs", renamed TABS_OK ifdef to
12743	  USE_HARD_TABS.
12744	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12745	+ Add bindings for keyok() and define_key() to the Ada95 packages.
12746	+ Improve man pages menu_post.3x and menu_format.3x
12747	+ Fix the HTML pages in the Ada95/html directory to reflect the above
12748	  changes.
12749
12750970628
12751	+ modify change from 970101 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
12752	  pending changes to both curscr and newscr are flushed properly.
12753	  This fixes a case where the first scrolling operation in nvi would
12754	  cause the screen to be cleared unnecessarily and repainted before
12755	  doing the indexing, i.e., by repeatedly pressing 'j' (reported by
12756	  Juergen Pfeifer).
12757	+ correct error in trans_string() which added embedded newlines in a
12758	  terminfo description to the stored strings.
12759	+ remove spurious newlines from sgr in wyse50 (and several other)
12760	  terminfo descriptions.
12761	+ add configure option for experimental xmc (magic cookie) code,
12762	  "--enable-xmc-glitch".  When disabled (the default), attributes that
12763	  would store a magic cookie are suppressed in vidputs().  The magic
12764	  cookie code is far from workable at this stage; the configuration
12765	  option is a stopgap.
12766	+ move _nc_initscr() from lib_initscr.c to lib_newterm.c
12767	+ correct path for invoking make_keys (a missing "./").
12768
12769970621
12770	+ correct sign-extension problem with "infocmp -e", which corrupted
12771	  acsc values computed for linux fallback data.
12772	+ correct dependency on ncurses/names.c (a missing "./").
12773	+ modify configure script to use '&&' even for cd'ing to existing
12774	  directories to work around broken shell interpreters.
12775	+ correct a loop-limit in _nc_hash_map() (patch by Alexander V.
12776	  Lukyanov).
12777
12778970615
12779	+ restore logic in _nc_scroll_optimize() which marks as touched the
12780	  lines in curscr that are shifted.
12781	+ add new utility 'make_keys' to compute keys.tries as a table rather
12782	  than a series of function calls.
12783	+ correct include-dependency for tic.h used by name_match
12784	+ removed buffer-allocation for name and description from m_item_new.c,
12785	  since this might result in incompatibilities with SVr4.  Also fixed
12786	  the corresponding Ada95 binding module (patch by Juergen Pfeifer,
12787	  report by Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@foxnet.net>)
12788	+ removed the mechanism to timestamp the generated Ada95 sources.  This
12789	  resulted always in generating patches for the HTML doc, even when
12790	  nothing really changed (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12791	+ improve man page mitem_new.3x (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12792
12793970614
12794	+ remove ech capability from rxvt description because it does not work.
12795	+ add missing case logic for infocmp -I option (reported by Lorenzo M.
12796	  Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>)
12797	+ correct old bug in pnoutrefresh() unmasked by fix in 970531; this
12798	  caused glitches in the ncurses 'p' test since the area outside the
12799	  pad was not compared when setting up indices for _nc_scroll_optimize.
12800	+ rewrote tracebits() to workaround misdefinition of TOSTOP on Ultrix
12801	  4.4, as well as to eliminate fixed-size buffer (reported by Chris
12802	  Tanner <tannerc@aecl.ca>)
12803	+ correct prototype for termattrs() as per XPG4 version 2.
12804	+ add placeholder prototypes for color_set(), erasewchar(),
12805	  term_attrs(), wcolor_set() as per XPG4 version 2.
12806	+ correct attribution for progs/progs.priv.h and lib_twait.c
12807	+ improve line-breakout logic by checking based on changed lines rather
12808	  than total lines (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12809	+ correct loop limits for table-lookup of enumerated value in form
12810	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12811	+ improve threshold computation for determining when to call ClrToEOL
12812	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12813
12814970531
12815	+ add configure option --disable-database to force the library to
12816	  use only the fallback data.
12817	+ add configure option --with-fallbacks, to specify list of fallback
12818	  terminal descriptions.
12819	+ add a symbolic link for ncurses.h during install; too many programs
12820	  still assume there's an ncurses.h
12821	+ add new terminfo.src entry for xterm-xf86-v33.
12822	+ restore terminfo.src entry for emu to using setf/setb, since it is
12823	  not, after all, generating ANSI sequences.  Corrected missing comma
12824	  that caused setf/setb entries to merge.
12825	+ modify mousemask() to use keyok() to enable/disable KEY_MOUSE, so
12826	  that applications can disable ncurses' mouse and supply their own
12827	  handler.
12828	+ add extensions keyok() and define_key().  These are designed to allow
12829	  the user's application better control over the use of function keys,
12830	  e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE.  (The define_key idea was from
12831	  a mailing-list thread started by Kenneth Albanowski
12832	  <kjahds@kjahds.com> Nov'1995).
12833	+ restore original behavior in ncurses 'g' test, i.e., explicitly
12834	  set the keypad mode rather than use the default, since it confuses
12835	  people.
12836	+ rewrote the newdemo banner so it's readable (reported by Hugh
12837	  Daniel).
12838	+ tidy up exit from hashtest (reported by Hugh Daniel).
12839	+ restore check for ^Q in ncurses 'g' test broken in 970510 (reported
12840	  by Hugh Daniel)
12841	+ correct tput program, checking return-value of setupterm (patch by
12842	  Florian La Roche).
12843	+ correct logic in pnoutrefresh() and pechochar() functions (reported
12844	  by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf.usc.edu>).  The computation
12845	  of 'wide' date to eric's #283 (1.9.9), and the pechochar bug to the
12846	  original implementation (1.9.6).
12847	+ correct typo in vt102-w terminfo.src entry (patch by Robert Wuest
12848	  <rwuest@sire.vt.com>)
12849	+ move calls of _nc_background() out of various loops, as its return
12850	  value will be the same for the whole window being operated on (patch
12851	  by J T Conklin).
12852	+ add macros getcur[xy] getbeg[xy] getpar[xy], which are defined in
12853	  SVr4 headers (patch by J T Conklin <jtc@NetBSD.ORG>)
12854	+ modify glibc addon-configure scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
12855	+ correct a bug in hashmap.c: the size used for clearing the hashmap
12856	  table was incorrect, causing stack corruption for large values of
12857	  LINES, e.g., >MAXLINES/2 (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12858	+ eric's terminfo 9.13.23 & 9.13.24 changes: replaced minitel-2 entry,
12859	  added MGR, ansi-nt (note: the changes described for 9.13.24 have not
12860	  been applied).
12861	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
12862	+ correct a missing error-return in form_driver.c when wrapping of a
12863	  field is not possible.
12864	+ correct logic in form_driver.c for configurations that do not have
12865	  memccpy() (reported by Sidik Isani <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
12866	+ change several c++ binding functions to inline.
12867	+ modify c++ menu binding to inherit from panels, for proper
12868	  initialization.
12869	+ correct freeing of menu items in c++ binding.
12870	+ modify c++ binding to reflect removal of const from user data pointer
12871	  in forms/menus libraries.
12872
12873970524
12874	+ add description of xterm-16color.
12875	+ modify name of shared-library on *BSD to end with $(REL_VERSION)
12876	  rather than $(ABI_VERSION) to match actual convention on FreeBSD
12877	  (cf: 960713).
12878	+ add OpenBSD to shared-library case, same as NetBSD and FreeBSD
12879	  (reported by Hugh Daniel <hugh@rat.toad.com>).
12880	+ corrected include-dependency in menu/Makefile so that "make install"
12881	  works properly w/o first doing "make".
12882	+ add fallback definition for isascii, used in infocmp.
12883	+ modify xmas to use color, and to exit right away when a key is
12884	  pressed.
12885	+ modify gdc so that the scrolled digits function as described (there
12886	  was no time delay between the stages, and the digits overwrote the
12887	  bounding box without tidying up).
12888	+ modify lib_color.c to use setaf/setab only for the ANSI color codes
12889	  0 through 7.  Using 16 colors requires setf/setb.
12890	+ modify ncurses 'c' test to work with 16 colors, as well as the normal
12891	  8 colors.
12892	+ remove const qualifier from user data pointer in forms and menus
12893	  libraries (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12894	+ rewrote 'waddchnstr()' to avoid using the _nc_waddch_nosync()
12895	  function, thereby not interpreting tabs, etc., as per spec (patch by
12896	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12897
12898970517
12899	+ suppress check for pre-existing ncurses header if the --prefix
12900	  option is specified.
12901	+ add configure options "--with-system-type" and
12902	  "--with-system-release" to assist in checking the generated
12903	  makefiles.
12904	+ add configure option "--enable-rpath" to allow installers to specify
12905	  that programs linked against shared libraries will have their library
12906	  path embedded, allowing installs into nonstandard locations.
12907	+ add flags to OSF1 shared-library options to specify version and
12908	  symbol file (patch by Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>)
12909	+ add missing definition for ABI_VERSION to c++/Makefile.in (reported
12910	  by Satoshi Adachi <adachi@wisdom.aa.ap.titech.ac.jp>).
12911	+ modify link flags to accommodate HP-UX linker which embeds absolute
12912	  pathnames in executables linked against shared libraries (reported by
12913	  Jason Evans <jasone@mrc.uidaho.edu>, solved by Alan Shutko
12914	  <ats@hubert.wustl.edu>).
12915	+ drop unnecessary check for attribute-change in onscreen_mvcur() since
12916	  mvcur() is the only caller within the library, and that check in turn
12917	  is exercised only from lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
12918	  Lukyanov).
12919	+ add 'blank' parameter to _nc_scroll_window() so _nc_mvcur_scrolln()
12920	  can use the background of stdscr as a parameter to that function
12921	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12922	+ moved _nc_mvcur_scrolln() from lib_mvcur.c to lib_doupdate.c, to use
12923	  the latter's internal functions, as well as to eliminate unnecessary
12924	  cursor save/restore operations (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12925	+ omit parameter of ClrUpdate(), since it is called only for newscr,
12926	  further optimized/reduced by using ClearScreen() and TransformLine()
12927	  to get rid of duplicate code (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12928	+ modify scrolling algorithm in _nc_scroll_optimize() to reject hunks
12929	  that are smaller than the distance to be moved (patch by Alexander V.
12930	  Lukyanov).
12931	+ correct a place where the panel library was not ifdef'd in ncurses.c
12932	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
12933	+ documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer)
12934
12935970515	4.1 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
12936	+ re-tag changes since 970505 as 4.1 release.
12937
12938970510
12939	+ modify ncurses 'g' test to allow mouse input
12940	+ modify default xterm description to include mouse.
12941	+ modify configure script to add -Wwrite-strings if gcc warnings are
12942	  enabled while configuring --enable-const (and fixed related
12943	  warnings).
12944	+ add toggle, status display for keypad mode to ncurses 'g' test to
12945	  verify that keypad and scrollok are not inherited from parent window
12946	  during a call to newwin.
12947	+ correction to MKexpanded.sh to make it work when configure --srcdir
12948	  is used (reported by H.J.Lu).
12949	+ revise test for bool-type, ensuring that it checks if builtin.h is
12950	  available before including it, adding test for sizeof(bool) equal
12951	  to sizeof(short), and warning user if the size cannot be determined
12952	  (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12953	+ add files to support configuration of ncurses as an add-on library
12954	  for GNU libc (patch by H.J.Lu <hjl@lucon.org>)
12955
12956970506
12957	+ correct buffer overrun in lib_traceatr.c
12958	+ modify change to lib_vidattr.c to avoid redundant orig_pair.
12959	+ turn on 'echo()' in hanoi.c, since it is initially off.
12960	+ rename local 'errno' variable in etip.h to avoid conflict with global
12961	  (H.J.Lu).
12962	+ modify configure script to cache LD, AR, AR_OPTS (patch by H.J.Lu
12963	  <hjl@lucon.org>)
12964
12965970505	4.1 pre-release
12966	+ regenerate the misc directory html dumps without the link list, which
12967	  is not useful.
12968	+ correct dependency in form directory makefile which caused
12969	  unnecessary recompiles.
12970	+ correct substitution for ABI_VERSION in test-makefile
12971	+ modify install rules for shared-library targets to remove the target
12972	  before installing, since some install programs do not properly handle
12973	  overwrite of symbolic links.
12974	+ change order of top-level targets so that 'include' immediate
12975	  precedes the 'ncurses' directory, reducing the time between new
12976	  headers and new libraries (requested by Larry Virden).
12977	+ modify lib_vidattr.c so that colors are turned off only before
12978	  modifying other attributes, turned on after others.  This makes the
12979	  hanoi.c program display correctly on FreeBSD console.
12980	+ modify debug code in panel library to print user-data addresses
12981	  rather than the strings which they (may) point to.
12982	+ add check to ensure that C++ binding and demo are not built with g++
12983	  versions below 2.7, since the binding uses templates.
12984	+ modify c++ binding and demo to build and run with SGI's c++ compiler.
12985	  (It also compiles with the Sun SparcWorks compiler, but the demo does
12986	  not link, due to a vtbl problem).
12987	+ corrections to demo.cc, to fix out-of-scope variables (Juergen
12988	  Pfeifer).
12989
12990970503
12991	+ correct memory leak in _nc_trace_buf().
12992	+ add configure test for regexpr.h, for Unixware 1.x.
12993	+ correct missing "./" prefixing names of generated files in ncurses
12994	  directory.
12995	+ use single-quotes in configure scripts assignments for MK_SHARED_LIB
12996	  to workaround shell bug on FreeBSD 2.1.5
12997	+ remove tabs from intermediate #define's for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF
12998	  that caused incorrect result in ncurses_cfg.h
12999	+ correct initialization in lib_trace.c, which omitted version info.
13000	+ remove ech, el1 attributes from cons25w description; they appear to
13001	  malfunction in FreeBSD 2.1.5
13002	+ correct color attributes in terminfo.src and lib_color.c to match
13003	  SVr4 behavior by interchanging codes 1,4, 3,6 in the setf/setb
13004	  capabilities.
13005	+ use curs_set() rather than checks via tigetstr() for test programs
13006	  that hide the cursor: firework, rain, worm.
13007	+ ensure that if the terminal lacks change_scroll_region, parm_index
13008	  and parm_rindex are used only to scroll the whole screen (patch by
13009	  Peter Wemm).
13010	+ correct curs_set() logic, which did not return ERR if the requested
13011	  attributes did not exist, nor did it assume an unknown initial state
13012	  for the cursor (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13013	+ combine IDcTransformLine and NoIDcTransformLine to new TransformLine
13014	  function in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13015	+ correct hashmap.c, which did not update index information (patch by
13016	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13017	+ fixes for C++ binding and demo (see c++/NEWS) (Juergen Pfeifer).
13018	+ correct index in lib_instr.c (Juergen Pfeifer).
13019	+ correct typo in 970426 patch from Tom's cleanup of lib_overlay.c
13020	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
13021
13022970426
13023	+ corrected cost computation in PutRange(), which was using
13024	  milliseconds compared to characters by adding two new members to the
13025	  SCREEN struct, _hpa_ch_cost and _cup_ch_cost.
13026	+ drop ncurses/lib_unctrl.c, add ncurses/MKunctrl.awk to generate a
13027	  const array of strings (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).  The
13028	  original suggestion in 970118 used a perl script.
13029	+ rewrote ncurses 'b' test to better exercise magic-cookie (xmc), as
13030	  well as noting the attributes that are not supported by a terminal.
13031	+ trace the computation of cost values in lib_mvcur.c
13032	+ modify _nc_visbuf() to use octal rather than hex, corrected sign
13033	  extension bug in that function that caused buffer overflow.
13034	+ modify trace in lib_acs.c to use _nc_visbuf().
13035	+ suppress trace within _traceattr2().
13036	+ correct logic of _tracechtype2(), which did not account for repeats
13037	  or redefinition within an acsc string.
13038	+ modify debug-library version baudrate() to use environment variable
13039	  $BAUDRATE to override speed computation.  This is needed for
13040	  regression testing.
13041	+ correct problems shown by "weblint -pedantic".
13042	+ update mailing-list information (now ncurses@bsdi.com).
13043
13044970419
13045	+ Improve form_field_validation.3x manpage to better describe the
13046	  precision parameter for TYPE_NUMERIC and TYPE_INTEGER.  Provide more
13047	  precise information how the range checking can be avoided.  (patch by
13048	  Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan Henderson)
13049	+ change type of min/max value of form types TYPE_INTEGER to long to
13050	  match SVr4 documentation.
13051	+ set the form window to stdscr in set_form_win() so that form_win()
13052	  won't return null (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan
13053	  Henderson <bryanh@giraffe.netgate.net>).
13054
13055970412
13056	+ corrected ifdef'ing of inline (cf: 970321) for TRACE vs C++.
13057	+ corrected toggle_attr_off() macro (patch by Andries Brouwer).
13058	+ modify treatment of empty token in $MANPATH to /usr/man (reported by
13059	  <Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>)
13060	+ modify traces that record functions-called so that chtype and attr_t
13061	  values are expressed symbolically, to simplify reuse of generated
13062	  test-scripts on SVr4 regression testing.
13063	+ add new trace functions _traceattr2() and _tracechtype2()
13064
13065970405
13066	+ add configure option --enable-const, to support the use of 'const'
13067	  where XSI should have, but did not, specify.  This defines
13068	  NCURSES_CONST, which is an empty token otherwise, for strict
13069	  compatibility.
13070	+ make processing of configure options more verbose by echoing the
13071	  --enable/--with values.
13072	+ add configure option --enable-big-core
13073	+ set initial state of software echo off as per XSI.
13074	+ check for C++ builtin.h header
13075	+ correct computation of absolute-path for $INSTALL that dropped "-c"
13076	  parameter from the expression.
13077	+ rename config.h to ncurses_cfg.h to avoid naming-conflict when
13078	  ncurses is integrated into larger systems (adapted from diffs by
13079	  H.J.Lu for libc).
13080	+ correct inequality in lib_doupdate.c that caused a single-char to not
13081	  be updated when the char on the right-margin was not blank, idcok()
13082	  was true (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov (in 970124), reported
13083	  by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu> in 970329).
13084	+ modify 'clean' rule in include/Makefile so that files created by
13085	  configure script are removed in 'distclean' rule instead.
13086
13087970328
13088	+ correct array limit in tparam_internal(), add case to interpret "%x"
13089	  (patch by Andreas Schwab)
13090	+ rewrote number-parsing in ncurses.c 'd' test; it did not reset the
13091	  value properly when non-numeric characters were given (reported by
13092	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
13093
13094970321
13095	+ move definition of __INTERNAL_CAPS_VISIBLE before include for
13096	  progs.priv.h (patch by David MacKenzie).
13097	+ add configuration summary, reordered check for default include
13098	  directory to better accommodate a case where installer is configuring
13099	  a second copy of ncurses (reported by Klaus Weide
13100	  <kweide@tezcat.com>)
13101	+ moved the #define for 'inline' as an empty token from the
13102	  $(CFLAGS_DEBUG) symbol into config.h, to avoid redefinition warning
13103	  (reported by Ward Horner).
13104	+ modify test for bool builtin type to use 'unsigned' rather than
13105	  'unknown' when cross-compiling (reported by Ward Horner).
13106
13107970315
13108	+ add header dependencies so that "make install.libs" will succeed
13109	  even if "make all" is not done first.
13110	+ moved some macros from lib_doupdate.c to curses.priv.h to use in
13111	  expanded functions with ATAC.
13112	+ correct implementation of lib_instr.c; both XSI and SVr4 agree that
13113	  the winnstr functions can return more characters than will fit on one
13114	  line.

13116970308
13117	+ modify script that generates lib_gen.c to support traces of called &
13118	  return.
13119	+ add new configure option "--disable-macros", for testing calls within
13120	  lib_gen.c
13121	+ corrected logic that screens level-checking of called/return traces.
13122
13123970301
13124	+ use new configure macro NC_SUBST to replace AC_PATH_PROG, better
13125	  addressing request by Ward Horner.
13126	+ check for cross-compiling before trying to invoke the autoconf
13127	  AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED macro (reported by Ward Horner)

13129	  a pointer-increment.
13130	+ eliminate obsolete symbol SHARED_ABI from dist.mk (noted by
13131	  Florian La Roche).
13132
13133970215
13134	+ add configure option --enable-expanded, together with code that
13135	  implements an expanded form of certain complex macros, for testing
13136	  with ATAC.
13137	+ disable CHECK_POSITION unless --with-assertions is configured
13138	  (Alexander V Lukyanov pointed out that this is redundant).
13139	+ use keyname() to show traced chtype values where applicable rather
13140	  than _tracechar(), which truncates the value to 8-bits.
13141	+ minor fixes to TRACE_ICALLS, added T_CREATE, TRACE_CCALLS macros.
13142	+ modify makefiles in progs and test directories to avoid using C
13143	  preprocessor options on link commands (reported by Ward Horner)
13144	+ correct ifdef/include-order for nc_alloc.h vs lib_freeall.c (reported
13145	  by Ward Horner)
13146	+ modify ifdef's to use configure-defined symbols consistently
13147	  (reported by Ward Horner)
13148	+ add/use new makefile symbols AR, AR_OPTS and LD to assist in non-UNIX
13149	  ports (reported by Ward Horner <whorner@tsi-telsys.com>)
13150	+ rename struct try to struct tries, to avoid name conflict with C++
13151	  (reported by Gary Johnson).
13152	+ modify worm.c to hide cursor while running.
13153	+ add -Wcast-qual to gcc warnings, fix accordingly.
13154	+ use PutChar rather than PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to properly handle
13155	  wrapping (Alexander V Lukyanov).
13156	+ correct spurious echoing of input in hanoi.c from eric's #291 & #292
13157	  patches (reported by Vernon C. Hoxie <vern@zebra.alphacdc.com>).
13158	+ extend IRIX configuration to IRIX64
13159	+ supply missing install.libs rule needed after restructuring
13160	  test/Makefile.in
13161
13162970208
13163	+ modify "make mostlyclean" to leave automatically-generated source
13164	  in the ncurses directory, for use in cross-compiles.
13165	+ autogenerated object-dependencies for test directory
13166	+ add configure option --with-rcs-ids
13167	+ modify configuration scripts to generate major/minor/patch versions
13168	  (suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
13169	+ supply missing va_end's in lib_scanw.c
13170	+ use stream I/O for trace-output, to eliminate fixed-size buffer
13171	+ add TRACE_ICALLS definition/support to lib_trace.c
13172	+ modify Ada95 binding to work with GNAT 3.09 (Juergen Pfeifer).
13173
13174970201
13175	+ add/modify traces for called/return values to simplify extraction
13176	  for test scripts.
13177	+ changed _nc_visbuf to quote its result, and to dynamically allocate
13178	  the returned buffer.
13179	+ invoke ldconfig after installing shared library
13180	+ modify install so that overwrite applies to shared library -lcurses
13181	  in preference to static library (reported by Zeyd M Ben-Halim 960928).
13182	+ correct missing ';' in 961221 mod to overwrite optional use of $(LN_S)
13183	  symbol.
13184	+ fixes to allow "make install" to work without first doing a "make
13185	  all" (suggested by Larry Virden).
13186
13187970125
13188	+ correct order of #ifdef for TABS_OK.
13189	+ instrumented toe.c to test memory-leaks.
13190	+ correct memory-deallocation in toe.c (patch by Jesse Thilo).
13191	+ include <sys/types.h> in configuration test for regex.h (patch by
13192	  Andreas Schwab)
13193	+ make infocmp recognize -I option, for SVr4 compatibility (reported by
13194	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
13195
13196970118
13197	+ add extension 'use_default_colors()', modified test applications that
13198	  use default background (firework, gdc, hanoi, knight, worm) to
13199	  demonstrate.
13200	+ correct some limit checks in lib_doupdate.c exposed while running
13201	  worm.
13202	+ use typeCalloc macro for readability.
13203	+ add/use definition for CONST to accommodate testing with Solaris
13204	  (SVr4) curses, which doesn't use 'const' in its prototypes.
13205	+ modify ifdef's in test/hashtest.c and test/view.c to compile with
13206	  Solaris curses.
13207	+ modify _tracedump() to pad colors & attrs lines to match change
13208	  in 970101 showing first/last changes.
13209	+ corrected location of terminating null on dynamically allocated forms
13210	  fields (patch by Per Foreby).
13211
13212970111
13213	+ added headers to make view.c compile on SCO with the resizeterm()
13214	  code (i.e., struct winsize) - though this compiles, I don't have a
13215	  suitable test configuration since SIGWINCH doesn't pass my network to
13216	  that machine - T.Dickey.
13217	+ update test/configure.in to supply some default substitutions.
13218	+ modify configure script to add -lncurses after -lgpm to fix problem
13219	  linking against static libraries.
13220	+ add a missing noraw() to test/ncurses.c (places noted by Jeremy
13221	  Buhler)
13222	+ add a missing wclear() to test/testcurs.c (patch by Jeremy Buhler
13223	  <jbuhler@cs.washington.edu>)
13224	+ modify headers to accommodate compilers that don't allow duplicate
13225	  "#define" lines for NCURSES_VERSION (reported by Larry W. Virden
13226	  <lvirden@cas.org>)
13227	+ fix formatting glitch in curs_getch.3x (patch by Jesse Thilo).
13228	+ modify lib_doupdate to make el, el1 and ed optimization use the
13229	  can_clear_with macro, and change EmitRange to allow leaving cursor at
13230	  the middle of interval, rather than always at the end (patch by
13231	  Alexander V Lukyanov).  This was originally 960929, resync 970106.
13232
13233970104
13234	+ workaround defect in autoconf 2.12 (which terminates configuration
13235	  if no C++ compiler is found) by adding an option --without-cxx.
13236	+ modify several man-pages to use tbl, where .nf/.fi was used (reported
13237	  by Jesse Thilo).
13238	+ correct font-codes in some man-pages (patch by Jesse Thilo
13239	  <Jesse.Thilo@pobox.com>)
13240	+ use configure script's knowledge of existence of g++ library for the
13241	  c++ Makefile (reported by Paul Jackson).
13242	+ correct misleading description of --datadir configuration option
13243	  (reported by Paul Jackson <pj@sam.engr.sgi.com>)
13244
13245970101
13246	+ several corrections to _nc_mvcur_scrolln(), prompted by a bug report
13247	  from Peter Wemm:
13248	> the logic for non_dest_scroll_region was interchanged between the
13249	  forward & reverse scrolling cases.
13250	> multiple returns from the function allowed certain conditions to do
13251	  part of an operation before discovering that it couldn't be
13252	  completed, returning an error without restoring the cursor.
13253	> some returns were ERR, where the function had completed the
13254	  operation, because the insert/delete line logic was improperly
13255	  tested (this was probably the case Peter saw).
13256	> contrary to comments, some scrolling cases were tested after the
13257	  insert/delete line method.
13258	+ modify _tracedump() to show first/last changes.
13259	+ modify param of ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c to 'newscr', fixes
13260	  refresh problem (reported by Peter Wemm) that caused nvi to not show
13261	  result of ":r !ls" until a ^L was typed.
13262
13263961229	(internal alpha)
13264	+ correct some of the writable-strings warnings (reported by Gary
13265	  Johnson <gjohnson@season.com>).  Note that most of the remaining ones
13266	  are part of the XSI specification, and can't be "fixed".
13267	+ improve include-dependencies in form, menu, panel directories.
13268	+ correct logic of delay_output(), which would return early if
13269	  there is data on stdin.
13270	+ modify interface & logic of _nc_timed_wait() to support 2 file
13271	  descriptors, needed for GPM.
13272	+ integrate patch by Andrew Kuchling <amk@magnet.com> for GPM (mouse)
13273	  support, correcting logic in wgetch() and _nc_mouse_parse() which
13274	  prevented patch from working properly -TD
13275	+ improve performance of panel algorithm (Juergen Pfeifer 961203).
13276	+ strip RCS id's from generated .html files in Ada95 subtree.
13277	+ resync with generated .html files (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
13278	+ terminfo.src 10.1.0 (ESR).
13279
13280961224	4.0 release
13281	+ release as 4.0 to accommodate Linux ld.so.1.8.5
13282	+ correct syntax/spelling, regenerated .doc files from .html using
13283	  lynx 2.5
13284	+ refined forms/menus makefiles (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
13285
13286961221	- snapshot
13287	+ remove logic in read_entry.c that attempts to refine errno by using
13288	  'access()' for the directory (from patch by Florian La Roche).
13289	+ correct configure test/substitution that inhibits generating
13290	  include-path to /usr/include if gcc is used (reported by Florian La
13291	  Roche).
13292	+ modify setupterm() to allocate new TERMINAL for each call, just as
13293	  solaris' curses does (Alexander V Lukyanov 960829).
13294	+ corrected memory leaks in read_entry.c
13295	+ add configure options --with-dbmalloc, --with-dmalloc, and
13296	  --disable-leaks, tested by instrumenting infocmp, ncurses programs.
13297	+ move #include's for stdlib.h and string.h to *.priv.h to accommodate
13298	  use of dbmalloc.
13299	+ modify use of $(LN_S) to follow recommendation in autoconf 2.12,
13300	  i.e., set current directory before linking.
13301	+ split-out panel.priv.h, improve dependencies for forms, menus
13302	  (Juergen Pfeifer 961204).
13303	+ modify _nc_freewin() to reset globals curscr/newscr/stdscr when
13304	  freeing the corresponding WINDOW (found using Purify).
13305	+ modify delwin() to return ERR if the window to be deleted has
13306	  subwindows, needed as a side-effect of resizeterm() (found using
13307	  Purify).  Tested and found that SVr4 curses behaves this way.
13308	+ implement logic for _nc_freeall(), bringing stub up to date.
13309
13310961215
13311	+ modify wbkgd() so that it doesn't set nulls in the rendered text,
13312	  even if its argument doesn't specify a character (fixes test case by
13313	  Juergen Pfeifer for bug-report).
13314	+ set window-attributes in wbkgd(), to simplify comparison against
13315	  Solaris curses, which does this.
13316
13317961214	- snapshot
13318	+ replace most constants in ncurses 'o' test by expressions, making it
13319	  work with wider range of screen sizes.
13320	+ add options to ncurses.c to specify 'e' test softkey format, and the
13321	  number of header/footer lines to rip-off.
13322	+ add ^R (repaint after resize), ^L (refresh) commands to ncurses 'p'
13323	  test.
13324	+ add shell-out (!) command to ncurses 'p' test to allow test of
13325	  resize between endwin/refresh.
13326	+ correct line-wrap case in mvcur() by emitting carriage return,
13327	  overlooked in 960928, but needed due to SVr4 compatibility changes to
13328	  terminal modes in 960907.
13329	+ correct logic in wresize that causes new lines to be allocated,
13330	  broken for the special case of increasing rows only in 960907's fix
13331	  for subwindows.
13332	+ modify configure script to generate $(LDFLAGS) with -L and -l options
13333	  in preference to explicit library filenames.  (NOTE: this may
13334	  require further amending, since I vaguely recall a dynamic loader
13335	  that did not work properly without the full names, but it should be
13336	  handled as an exception to the rule, since some linkers do bulk
13337	  inclusion of libraries when given the full name - T.Dickey).
13338	+ modify configure script to allow user-supplied $CFLAGS to set the
13339	  debug-option in all libraries (requested by lots of people) -TD
13340	+ use return consistently from main(), rather than exit (reported by
13341	  Florian La Roche).
13342	+ add --enable-getcap-cache option to configure, normally disabled
13343	  (requested by Florian La Roche).
13344	+ make configure test for gettimeofday() and possibly -lbsd more
13345	  efficient (requested by Florian La Roche <florian@knorke.saar.de>)
13346	+ minor adjustments to Ada95 binding (patches by Juergen Pfeifer)
13347	+ correct attributes after emitting orig_pair in lib_vidattr.c (patch
13348	  by Alexander V Lukyanov).
13349
13350961208
13351	+ corrected README wrt Ada95 (Juergen Pfeifer)
13352
13353961207	- snapshot
13354	+ integrate resizeterm() into doupdate(), so that if screen size
13355	  changes between endwin/refresh, ncurses will resize windows to fit
13356	  (this needs additional testing with pads and softkeys).
13357	+ add, for memory-leak testing, _nc_freeall() entrypoint to free all
13358	  data used in ncurses library.
13359	+ initialize _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok statically to resolve discrepancy
13360	  between initscr() and newwin() initialization (reported by
13361	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
13362	+ test built VERSION=4.0, SHARED_ABI=4 with Linux ld.so.1.8.5
13363	  (set beta versions to those values -- NOTE that subsequent pre-4.0
13364	  beta may not be interchangeable).
13365	+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.12
13366
13367961130	1.9.9g release
13368	+ add copyright notices to configuration scripts (written by Thomas
13369	  Dickey).
13370
13371961127
13372	> patch, mostly for panel (Juergen Pfeifer):
13373	+ cosmetic improvement for a few routines in the ncurses core library
13374	  to avoid warning messages.
13375	+ the panel overlap detection was broken
13376	+ the panel_window() function was not fool-proof.
13377	+ Some inlining...
13378	+ Cosmetic changes (also to avoid warning messages when compiling with
13379	  -DTRACE).
13380
13381961126
13382	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
13383	+ eliminates warning messages for the compile of libform.
13384	+ inserts Per Foreby's new field type TYPE_IPV4 into libform.
13385	+ Updates man page and the Ada95 binding to reflect this.
13386	+ Improves inlining in libmenu and libform.
13387
13388961120
13389	+ improve the use of the "const" qualifier in the
13390	  panel library (Juergen Pfeifer)
13391	+ change set_panel_userptr() and panel_userptr() to use void*
13392	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
13393
13394961119
13395	+ change ABI to 3.4
13396	+ package with 961119 version of Ada95 binding (fixes for gnat-3.07).
13397	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
13398	+ correct initialization of the stdscr pseudo panel in panel library
13399	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
13400	+ use MODULE_ID (rcs keywords) in forms and menus libraries (Juergen
13401	  Pfeifer).
13402	> patch #324 (ESR):
13403	+ typo in curs_termcap man page (reported by Hendrik Reichel
13404	  <106065.2344@compuserve.com>)
13405	+ change default xterm entry to xterm-r6.
13406	+ add entry for color_xterm
13407
13408961116	- snapshot
13409	+ lint found several functions that had only #define implementations
13410	  (e.g., attr_off), modified curses.h.in to generate them as per XSI
13411	  Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
13412	+ add check in infocmp.c to guard against string compare of
13413	  CANCELLED_STRING values.
13414	+ modify firework.c, rain.c to hide cursor while running.
13415	+ correct missing va_end in lib_tparm.c
13416	+ modify hanoi.c to work on non-color terminals, and to use timing
13417	  delays when in autoplay mode.
13418	+ correct 'echochar()' to refresh immediately (reported by Adrian
13419	  Garside <94ajg2@eng.cam.ac.uk>)
13420	> patch #322 (ESR):
13421	+ reorganize terminfo.src entries for xterm.
13422
13423961109	- snapshot
13424	+ corrected error in line-breakout logic (lib_doupdate.c)
13425	+ modified newdemo to use wgetch(win) rather than getch() to eliminate
13426	  a spurious clear-screen.
13427	+ corrected ifdef's for 'poll()' configuration.
13428	+ added modules to ncurses, form, menu for Ada95 binding (Juergen
13429	  Pfeifer).
13430	+ modify set_field_buffer() to allow assignment of string longer than
13431	  the initial buffer length, and to return the complete string rather
13432	  than only the initial size (Juergen Pfeifer and Per Foreby
13433	  <perf@efd.lth.se>).
13434
13435961102	- snapshot
13436	+ configure for 'poll()' in preference to 'select()', since older
13437	  systems are more likely to have a broken 'select()'.
13438	+ modified render_char() to avoid OR'ing colors.
13439	+ minor fixes to testcurs.c, newdemo.c test programs: ifdef'd out the
13440	  resize test, use wbkgd and corrected box() parameters.
13441	+ make flushinp() test work in ncurses.c by using napms() instead of
13442	  sleep().
13443	+ undo ESR's changes to xterm-x11r6 (it no longer matched the X11R6.1
13444	  distribution, as stated)
13445	+ terminfo 9.13.18 resync (ESR)
13446	+ check for getenv("HOME") returning null (ESR).
13447	+ change buffer used to decode xterm-mouse commands to unsigned to
13448	  handle displays wider than 128 chars (Juergen Pfeifer).
13449	+ correct typo curs_outopts.3x (Juergen Pfeifer).
13450	+ correct limit-checking in wenclose() (Juergen Pfeifer).
13451	+ correction to Peter Wemm's newwin change (Thomas Fehr
13452	  <fehr@suse.de>).
13453	+ corrections to logic that combines colors and attributes; they must
13454	  not be OR'd (Juergen Pfeifer, extending from report/patch by Rick
13455	  Marshall).
13456
13457961026	- snapshot
13458	+ reset flags in 'getwin()' that might cause refresh to attempt to
13459	  manipulate the non-existent parent of a window that is read from a
13460	  file (lib_screen.c).
13461	+ restructure _nc_timed_wait() to log more information, and to try to
13462	  recover from badly-behaved 'select()' calls (still testing this).
13463	+ move define for GOOD_SELECT into configure script.
13464	+ corrected extra '\' character inserted before ',' in comp_scan.c
13465	+ corrected expansion of %-format characters in dump_entry.c; some were
13466	  rendered as octal constants.
13467	+ modify dump_entry.c to make terminfo output more readable and like
13468	  SVr4, by using "\s" for spaces (leading/trailing only), "\," for
13469	  comma, "\^" and "\:" as well.
13470	+ corrected some memory leaks in ncurses.c, and a minor logic error
13471	  in the top-level command-parser.
13472	+ correction for label format 4 (PC style with info line), a
13473	  slk_clear(), slk_restore() sequence didn't redraw the info line
13474	  (Juergen Pfeifer).
13475	+ modified the slk window (if simulated) to inherit the background and
13476	  default character attributes from stdscr (Juergen Pfeifer).
13477	+ corrected limit-check in set_top_row (Juergen Pfeifer).
13478
13479961019	- snapshot
13480	+ correct loop-limit in wnoutrefresh(), bug exposed during pipe-testing
13481	  had '.lastchar' entry one beyond '._maxx'.
13482	+ modify ncurses test-program to work with data piped to it.
13483	+ corrected pathname computation in run_tic.sh, removing extra "../"
13484	  (reported by Tim Mooney).
13485	+ modified configure script to use previous install's location for
13486	  curses.h
13487	+ added NetBSD and FreeBSD to platforms that use --prefix=/usr as
13488	  a default.
13489
13490961013
13491	+ revised xterm terminfo descriptions to reflect the several versions
13492	  that are available.
13493	+ corrected a pointer reference in dump_entry.c that didn't test if
13494	  the pointer was -1.
13495
13496961005	- snapshot
13497	+ correct _nc_mvcur_scrolln for terminals w/o scrolling region.
13498	+ add -x option to hashtest to control whether it allows writes to the
13499	  lower-right corner.
13500	+ ifdef'd (NCURSES_TEST) the logic for _nc_optimize_enable to make it
13501	  simpler to construct tests (for double-check of _nc_hash_map tests).
13502	+ correct ifdef's for c++ in curses.h
13503	+ change default xterm type to xterm-x11r6.
13504	+ correct quoting in configure that made man-pages installed with
13505	  $datadir instead of actual terminfo path.
13506	+ correct whitespace in include/Caps, which caused kf11, clr_eol and
13507	  clr_end to be omitted from terminfo.5
13508	+ fix memory leaks in delscreen() (adapted from Alexander V Lukyanov).
13509	+ improve appearance of marker in multi-selection menu (Juergen
13510	  Pfeifer)
13511	+ fix behavior for forms with all fields inactive (Juergen Pfeifer)
13512	+ document 'field_index()' (Juergen Pfeifer)

13517	+ in SET_TTY, replace TCSANOW with TCSADRAIN (Alexander V Lukyanov).
13518
13519960928	- snapshot
13520	+ ifdef'd out _nc_hash_map (still slower)
13521	+ add graphic characters to vt52 description.
13522	+ use PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to ensure proper background, position.
13523	+ simplify/correct logic in 'mvcur()' that does wrapping; it was
13524	  updating the position w/o actually moving the cursor, which broke
13525	  relative moves.
13526	+ ensure that 'doupdate()' sets the .oldindex values back to a sane
13527	  state; this was causing a spurious refresh in ncurses 'r'.
13528	+ add logic to configure (from vile) to guard against builders who
13529	  don't remove config.cache & config.status when doing new builds -TD
13530	+ corrected logic for 'repeat_char' in EmitRange (cf: eric #317), which
13531	  did not follow the 2-parameter scheme specified in XSI.
13532	+ corrected logic of wrefresh, wnoutrefresh broken in #319, making
13533	  clearok work properly (report by Michael Elkins).
13534	+ corrected problem with endwin introduced by #314 (removing the
13535	  scrolling-region reset) that broke ncurses.c tests.
13536	+ corrected order of args in AC_CHECK_LIB (from report by Ami Fischman
13537	  <fischman@math.ucla.edu>).
13538	+ corrected formatting of terminfo.5 tables (Juergen Ehling)
13539	> patch 320 (ESR):
13540	+ change ABI to 3.3
13541	+ emit a carriage-return in 'endwin()' to workaround a kernel bug in
13542	  BSDI.  (requested by Mike Karels <karels@redrock.bsdi.com>)
13543	+ reverse the default o configure --enable-termcap (consensus).
13544	> patch 319 (ESR):
13545	+ modified logic for clearok and related functions (from report by
13546	  Michael Elkins) - untested

13552	  (patch by A. Lukyanov).
13553	+ modify test/ncurses.c and tputs, etc., to allow trace counting
13554	  output characters.
13555	+ add hashtest.c program to time the hashmap optimization.
13556	> patch 316 (ESR):
13557	+ add logic to deal with magic-cookie (how was this tested?)
13558	  (lib_doupdate.c).
13559	+ add ncurses.c driver for magic-cookie, some fixes to ncurses.c
13560	> patch 315 (ESR):
13561	+ merge changes to lib_doupdate.c to use ech and rep - untested
13562	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
13563	+ modified handling of interrupted system calls - untested
13564	  (lib_getch.c, lib_twait.c).
13565	+ new function _nc_mvcur_resume()
13566	+ fix return value for 'overlay()', 'overwrite()'
13567
13568960914	- snapshot
13569	+ implement subwindow-logic in wresize, minor fixes to ncurses 'g'
13570	  test.
13571	+ corrected bracketing of fallback.c (reported/suggested fix by Juergen
13572	  Ehling <eh@eclipse.aball.de>).
13573	+ update xterm-color to reflect XFree86 3.1.3G release.
13574	+ correct broken dtterm description from #314 patch (e.g., spurious
13575	  newline.  The 'pairs' change might work, but no one's tested it
13576	  either ;-)
13577	+ clarify the documentation for the builtin form fieldtypes (Juergen
13578	  Pfeifer)
13579	> patch 314 (ESR):
13580	+ reset scroll region on startup rather than at wrapup time
13581	  (enhancement suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
13582	+ make storage of palette tables and their size counts per-screen for
13583	  multi-terminal applications (suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
13584	+ Improved error reporting for infotocap translation errors.
13585	+ Update terminfo.src to 9.13.14.
13586
13587960907	- snapshot
13588	+ rewrote wgetstr to make it erase control chars and also fix bogus use
13589	  of _nc_outstr which caused the display to not wrap properly (display
13590	  problem reported by John M. Flinchbaugh <glynis@netrax.net>)
13591	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to accommodate terminal responses to C1 codes
13592	  (and split up this screen to accommodate non-ANSI terminals).
13593	+ test enter_insert_mode and exit_insert_mode in has_ic().
13594	+ removed bogus logic in mvcur that assumes nl/nonl set output modes
13595	  (XSI says they are input modes; SVr4 implements this).
13596	+ added macros SET_TTY, GET_TTY to term.h
13597	+ correct getstr() logic that altered terminal modes w/o restoring.
13598	+ disable ICRNL, etc., during initialization to match SVr4, removing
13599	  the corresponding logic from raw, cbreak, etc.
13600	+ disable ONLCR during initialization, to match SVr4 (this is needed
13601	  for cursor optimization when the cursor-down is a newline).
13602	+ replaced ESR's imitation of wresize with my original (his didn't
13603	  work).
13604
13605960831	- snapshot
13606	+ memory leaks (Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13607	+ modified pnoutrefresh() to be more tolerant of too-large screen
13608	  size (reported by Michael Elkins).
13609	+ correct handling of terminfo files with no strings (Philippe De
13610	  Muyter)
13611	+ correct "tic -s" to take into account -I, -C options.
13612	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to not print codes 80 through 9F, since they
13613	  are considered control codes by ANSI terminals.
13614
13615960824	- snapshot
13616	+ correct speed variable-type in 'tgetent()' (reported by Peter Wemm)
13617	+ make "--enable-getcap" configuration-option work (reported by
13618	  Peter Wemm <peter@spinner.DIALix.COM>)

13639	+ refine configure-test for "-g" option (Tim Mooney).
13640	+ correct interaction between O_BLANK and NEW_LINE request in form
13641	  library (Juergen Pfeifer)
13642
13643960804
13644	+ revised fix to tparm; previous fix reversed parameter order.
13645	> patch 312 (ESR):
13646	  correct terminfo.src corrupted by #310
13647	> patch 311 (ESR):
13648	+ fix idlok() and idcok() and the default of the idlok switch (report

13659	+ updated qnx terminfo entry (patch by Michael Hunter)
13660
13661960730
13662	+ eliminate quoted includes in ncurses subdirectory, ensure config.h
13663	  is included first.
13664	+ newterm initializes terminal settings the same as initscr (reported
13665	  by Tim Mooney).
13666
13667960727	- snapshot
13668	+ call cbreak() in initscr(), as per XSI & SVr4.
13669	+ turn off hardware echo in initscr() as per XSI & SVr4

13678	+ corrected calls on _nc_render so that background character is set
13679	  as per XSI.
13680	+ corrected wbkgdset macro (XSI allows background character to be
13681	  null), and tests that use it.
13682	+ more corrections to terminfo (xterm & rxvt)
13683	+ undid change to mcprint prototype (cannot use size_t in curses.h
13684	  because not all systems declare it in the headers that we can safely
13685	  include therein).
13686	+ move the ifdefs for errno into curses.priv.h
13687	> patch 308 (ESR):

13701	+ misc/terminfo.src update to 9.13.8
13702	+ patch 306 (ESR):
13703	+ moved logic that filters out rmul and rmso from setupterm to newterm

13705	+ cosmetic fixes to test/ncurses.c
13706	+ modify open() call in ncurses/read_entry.c to use O_RDONLY symbol
13707	  rather than constant (report by mib).

13711	  have missing rmcup vs smcup.
13712
13713960707
13714	+ rollback ESR's #305 change to terminfo.src (it breaks existing

13716	+ correct path of edit_man.sh, and fix typo that made all man-pages
13717	  preformatted.

13727	  (reported by Zeyd).
13728	+ modify man-page install for BSDI to install preformatted .0 files
13729	  (reported by David MacKenzie).
13730	+ add/use gcc __attribute__ for printf and scanf in curses.h
13731	+ added SGR attributes test-case to ncurses

13734	+ make ncurses 'p' legend toggle with '?'
13735	+ disable scrollok during the ncurses 'p' test; if it is enabled the
13736	  stdscr will scroll when putting the box-corners in the lower-right
13737	  of the screen.
13738	> patch 305 (ESR):
13739	+ added sanity-checking of various paired string attributes.

13745960629	- snapshot
13746	+ check return code of _nc_mvcur_scrolln() in _nc_scroll_optimize() for
13747	  terminals with no scrolling-support (reported by Nikolay Shadrin
13748	  <queen@qh.mirea.ac.ru>)
13749	+ added ^S scrollok-toggle to ncurses 'g' test.
13750	+ added ^T trace-toggle to ncurses tests.
13751	+ modified ncurses test program to use ^Q or ESC consistently for
13752	  terminating tests (rather than ^D), and to use control keys rather
13753	  than function keys in 'g' test.
13754	+ corrected misplaced wclrtoeol calls in addch to accommodate wrapping
13755	  (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
13756	+ modify lib_doupdate.c to use effective costs to tradeoff between
13757	  delete-character/insert-character vs normal updating (reported by
13758	  David MacKenzie).
13759	+ compute effective costs for screen update operations (e.g., clr_eos,
13760	  delete_character).
13761	+ corrected error in knight.c exposed by wrap fixes in 960622; the
13762	  msgwin needed scrollok set.
13763	+ corrected last change to IDcTransformLine logic to avoid conflict
13764	  between PutRange and InsStr
13765	+ modified run_tic.sh to not use /usr/tmp (reported by David

13769
13770960622	- snapshot
13771	+ modified logic that wraps cursor in addch to follow the XSI spec,
13772	  (implemented in SVr4) which states that the cursor position is
13773	  updated when wrapping.  Renamed _NEED_WRAP to _WRAPPED to reflect the
13774	  actual semantics.
13775	+ added -s option to tic, to provide better diagnostics in run_tic.sh
13776	+ improved error-recovery for tabset install.
13777	+ change ABI to 3.1 (dropped tparam, corrected getbkgd(), added
13778	  _yoffset to WINDOW).
13779	+ modified initialization of SP->_ofp so that init_acs() is called with

13781	+ documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer).
13782	+ corrected, using new SCREEN and WINDOW members, the behavior of
13783	  ncurses if one uses ripoffline() to remove a line from the top of the
13784	  screen (Juergen Pfeifer).
13785	+ modified autoconf scripts to prepare for Ada95 (GNAT) binding to
13786	  ncurses (Juergen Pfeifer).
13787	+ incorrect buffer-size in _nc_read_entry, reported by ESR.
13788
13789960617
13790	+ corrected two logic errors in read_entry.c, write_entry.c (called by
13791	  tic, the write/read of terminfo entries used inconsistent rules for
13792	  locating the entries; the $TERMINFO_DIRS code would find only the
13793	  first entry in a list).
13794	+ refined pathname computation in run_tic.sh and shlib.
13795	+ corrected initialization of $IP in misc/run_tic.sh
13796
13797960615	- snapshot

13799	+ display version of gcc if configure script identifies it.
13800	+ modify configure script to use /usr as Linux's default prefix.
13801	+ modify run_tic.sh to use shlib script, fixes some problems installing
13802	  with a shared-library configuration.
13803	+ adjusted configure script so that it doesn't run tests with the
13804	  warnings turned on, which makes config.log hard to read.
13805	+ added 'lint' rule to top-level Makefile.
13806	+ added configure option '--with-install-prefix' for use by system
13807	  builders to install into staging locations (requested by
13808	  Charles Levert <charles@comm.polymtl.ca>).
13809	+ corrected autoconfigure for Debian man program; it's not installed
13810	  as "man_db".
13811	+ set noecho in 'worm'; it was ifdef'd for debug only
13812	+ updated test/configure.in for timing-display in ncurses 'p' test
13813	+ corrected misspelled 'getbkgd()'.
13814	+ corrected wbkgdset to work like observed syvr4 (sets A_CHARTEXT part
13815	  to blank if no character given, copies attributes to window's
13816	  attributes).
13817	+ modified lib_doupdate.c to use lower-level SP's current_attr state
13818	  instead of curscr's state, since it is redundant.
13819	+ correction to IDcTransformLine logic which controls where InsStr is
13820	  invoked (refined by Alexander V Lukyanov).
13821	> patch 303 (ESR):

13837	  checking when creating the label window (Juergen Pfeifer).
13838	+ enhancement to the control over the new PC-style soft key format.
13839	  allow caller now to select whether or not one wants to have

13881	  list from a file.
13882
13883960511

13946
13947960418	- snapshot
13948	+ use autoconf 2.9
13949	+ fix for AIX 3.2.5 (must define _POSIX_SOURCE to get termios struct
13950	  definitions via <termios.h>, modified macros in lib_raw.c to avoid
13951	  K&R-style substitution)
13952	> patches 293, 294 (ESR):
13953	+ rewrite wsyncup(), wsyncdown(), as well as small fixes to form and

13955	  changes (patches by Juergen Pfeifer).
13956	+ fix compile under QNX 4.2 by defining ONLCR in lib_raw.c when
13957	  __QNX__ is defined (patch by Michael Hunter).

13979
13980### ncurses-1.9.8a -> 1.9.9e
13981
13982* fixed broken wsyncup()/wysncdown(), as a result wnoutrefresh() now has
13983  copy-changed-lines behavior.
13984* added and documented wresize() function.
13985* more fixes to LOWER-RIGHT corner handling.
13986* changed the line-breakout optimization code to allow some lines to be
13987  emitted before the first check.
13988* added option for tic to use symbolic instead of hard links (for AFS)
13989* fix to restore auto-wrap mode.
13990* trace level can be controlled by environment variable.
13991* better handling of NULs in terminal descriptions.
13992* improved compatibility with observed SVR4 behavior.
13993* the refresh behavior of over-lapping windows is now more efficient and
13994  behaves like SVR4.
13995* use autoconf 2.7, which results in a working setup for SCO 5.0.
13996* support for ESCDELAY.
13997* small fixes for menu/form code.
13998* the test directory has its own configure.
13999* fixes to pads when optimizing scrolling.
14000* fixed several off-by-one bugs.
14001* fixes for termcap->terminfo translation; less restrictions more correct
14002  behavior.
14003
14004### ncurses-1.9.7 -> 1.9.8a
14005
14006* teach infocmp -i to recognize ECMA highlight sequences
14007* infocmp now dumps all SVr4 termcaps (not just the SVr4 ones) on -C
14008* support infocmp -RBSD.
14009* satisfy XSI Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
14010* This represents the last big change to the public interface of ncurses. The
14011  ABI_VERSION has now been set at 3.0 and should stay there barring any great
14012  catastrophies or acts of God.
14013* The C++ has been cleaned up in reaction to the changes to satisfy XSI's
14014  requirements.
14015* libncurses now gets linked to libcurses to help seamless emulation
14016  (replacement) of a vendor's curses. --disable-overwrite turns this behavior
14017  off.
14018
14019### ncurses-1.9.6 -> 1.9.7
14020
14021* corrected return values of setupterm()
14022* Fixed some bugs in tput (it does padding now)
14023* fixed a bug in tic that made it do the wrong thing on entries with more than
14024  one `use' capability.
14025* corrected the screen-size calculation at startup time to alter the
14026  numeric capabilities as per SVr4, not just LINES and COLS.
14027* toe(1) introduced; does what infocmp -T used to.
14028* tic(1) can now translate AIX box1 and font[0123] capabilities.
14029* tic uses much less core, the dotic.sh kluge can go away now.
14030* fix read_entry() and write_entry() to pass through cancelled capabilities OK.
14031* Add $HOME/.terminfo as source/target directory for terminfo entries.
14032* termcap compilation now automatically dumps an entry to $HOME/.terminfo.
14033* added -h option to toe(1).
14034* added -R option to tic(1) and infocmp(1).
14035* added fallback-entry-list feature.
14036* added -i option to infocmp(1).
14037* do a better job at detecting if we're on SCO.
14038
14039### ncurses-1.9.5 -> 1.9.6
14040
14041* handling of TERMCAP environment variables now works correctly.
14042* various changes to shorten termcap translations to less that 1024 chars.
14043* tset(1) added
14044* mouse support for xterm.
14045* most data tables are now const and accordingly live in shareable text space.
14046* Obey the XPG4/SVr4 practice that echo() is initially off.
14047* tic is much better at translating XENIX and AIX termcap entries now.
14048* tic can interpret ko capabilities now.
14049* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's forms library.
14050* taught write_entry() how not to write more than it needs to; this change
14051  reduces the size of the terminfo tree by a full 26%!
14052* infocmp -T option added.
14053* better warnings about historical tic quirks from tic.
14054
14055### ncurses 1.9.4 -> 1.9.5
14056
14057* menus library is now included with documentation.
14058* lib_mvcur has been carefully profiled and tuned.
14059* Fixed a ^Z-handling bug that was tanking lynx(1).
14060* HJ Lu's patches for ELF shared libraries under Linux
14061* terminfo.src 9.8.2
14062* tweaks for compiling in separate directories.
14063* Thomas Dickey's patches to support NeXT's brain-dead linker
14064* Eric Raymond's patches to fix problems with long termcap entries.
14065* more support for shared libraries under SunOS and IRIX.
14066
14067### ncurses 1.9.3 -> 1.9.4
14068
14069* fixed an undefined-order-of-evaluation bug in lib_acs.c
14070* systematically gave non-API public functions and data an _nc_ prefix.
14071* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's menu code into the distribution.
14072* totally rewrote the knight test game's interface
14073
14074### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.3
14075
14076* fixed the TERMCAP_FILE Support.
14077* fixed off-by-one errors in scrolling code
14078* added tracemunch to the test tools
14079* took steps to cut the running time of make install.data
14080
14081### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.2d
14082
14083* revised 'configure' script to produce libraries for normal, debug,
14084  profile and shared object models.
14085
14086### ncurses 1.9.1 -> 1.9.2
14087
14088* use 'autoconf' to implement 'configure' script.
14089* panels support added
14090* tic now checks for excessively long termcap entries when doing translation
14091* first cut at eliminating namespace pollution.
14092
14093### ncurses 1.8.9 -> 1.9
14094
14095* cleanup gcc warnings for the following: use size_t where 'int' is not
14096  appropriate, fixed some shadowed variables, change attr_t to compatible with
14097  chtype, use attr_t in some places where it was confused with 'int'.
14098* use chtype/attr_t casts as appropriate to ensure portability of masking
14099  operations.
14100* added-back waddchnstr() to lib_addstr.c (it had been deleted).
14101* supplied missing prototypes in curses.h
14102* include <termcap.h> in lib_termcap.c to ensure that the prototypes
14103  are consistent (they weren't).
14104* corrected prototype of tputs in <termcap.h>
14105* rewrote varargs parsing in lib_tparm.c (to avoid referencing memory
14106  that may be out of bounds on the stack) -- Purify found this.
14107* ensure that TRACE is defined in lib_trace.c (to solve prototype
14108  warnings from gcc).
14109* corrected scrolling-region size in 'mvcur_wrap()'
14110* more spelling fixes
14111* use 'calloc()' to allocate WINDOW struct in lib_newwin.c (Purify).
14112* set default value for SP->_ofp in lib_set_term.c (otherwise SunOS dumps
14113  core in init_acs()).
14114* include <errno.h> in write_entry.c (most "braindead" includes declare errno
14115  in that file).
14116
14117### ncurses 1.8.8 -> 1.8.9
14118
14119* compile (mostly) clean with gcc 2.5.8 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
14120  -Wmissing-prototypes -Wconversion and using __attribute__ to flush out
14121  non-portable use of "%x" for pointers, or for chtype data (which is declared
14122  as a long).
14123* modified doupdate to ensure that typahead was turned on before attempting
14124  select-call (otherwise, some implementations hang).
14125* added trace mask TRACE_FIFO, use this in lib_getch.c to allow finer
14126  resolution of traces.
14127* improved bounds checking on several critical functions.
14128* the data directory has been replaced by the new master terminfo file.
14129* -F file-comparison option added to infocmp.
14130* compatibility with XSI Curses is now documented in the man bages.
14131* wsyncup/wsyncdown functions are reliable now; subwindow code in general
14132  is much less flaky.
14133* capabilities ~msgr, tilde_glitch, insert_padding, generic_type, no_pad_char,
14134  memory_above, memory_below, and hard_copy are now used properly.
14135* cursor-movement optimization has been completely rewritten.
14136* vertical-movement optimization now uses hardware scrolling, il, dl.
14137
14138### ncurses 1.8.7 -> 1.8.8
14139* untic no longer exists, infocmp replaces it.
14140* tic can understand termcap now, especially if it is called captoinfo.
14141* The Linux Standard Console terminfo entry is called linux insead of console.
14142  It also uses the kernel's new method of changing charsets.
14143* initscr() will EXIT upon error (as the docs say) This will mostly happen if
14144  you try to run on an undefined terminal.
14145* I can get things running on AIX but tic can't compile terminfo. I have to
14146  compile entries on another machine. Volunteers to hunt this bug are welcome.
14147* wbkgd() and wbkgdset() can be used to set a windows background to color.
14148  wclear()/werase() DO NOT use the current attribute to clear the screen.
14149  This is the way SVR4 curses works. PDCurses 2.1 is broken in this respect,
14150  though PDCurses 2.2 has been fixed.
14151* cleaned up the test/ directory.
14152* test/worm will segfault after quite a while.
14153* many spelling corrections courtesy of Thomas E. Dickey
14154
14155### ncurses 1.8.6 -> 1.8.7
14156* cleaned up programs in test/ directory.
14157* fixed wbkgdset() macro.
14158* modified getstr() to stop it from advancing cursor in noecho mode.
14159* modified linux terminfo entry to work with the latest kernel to get
14160  the correct alternate character set.
14161* also added a linux-mono entry for those running on monochrome screens.
14162* changed initscr() so that it behaves like the man page says it does.
14163  this fixes the problem with programs in test/ crashing with SIGSEV if
14164  a terminal is undefined.
14165* modified addch() to avoid using any term.h #define's
14166* removed duplicate tgoto() in lib_tparm.c
14167* modified dump_entry.c so that infocmp deals correctly with ',' in acsc
14168* modified delwin() to correctly handle deleting subwindows.
14169* fixed Makefile.dist to stop installing an empty curses.h
14170* fixed a couple of out-of-date notes in man pages.
14171
14172### ncurses 1.8.5 -> 1.8.6
14173* Implemented wbkgd(), bkgd(), bkgdset(), and wbkgdset().
14174* The handling of attributes has been improved and now does not turn off color
14175  if other attributes are turned off.
14176* scrolling code is improved. Scrolling in subwindows is still broken.
14177* Fixes to several bugs that manifest them on platforms other than Linux.
14178* The default to meta now depends on the status of the terminal when ncurses
14179  is started.
14180* The interface to the tracing facility has changed.  Instead of the pair of
14181  functions traceon() and traceoff(), there is just one function trace() which
14182  takes a trace mask argument.  The trace masks, defined in curses.h, are
14183  as follows:
14184
14185	#define TRACE_DISABLE   0x00    /* turn off tracing */
14186	#define TRACE_ORDINARY  0x01    /* ordinary trace mode */
14187	#define TRACE_CHARPUT   0x02    /* also trace all character outputs */
14188	#define TRACE_MAXIMUM   0x0f    /* maximum trace level */
14189
14190  More trace masks may be added, or these may be changed, in future releases.
14191* The pad code has been improved and the pad test code in test/ncurses.c has
14192  been improved.
14193* The prototype ansi entry has been changed to work with a wider variety
14194  of emulators.
14195* Fix to the prototype ansi entry that enables it to work with PC emulators
14196  that treat trailing ";m" in a highlight sequence as ";0m"; this doesn't
14197  break operation with any emulators.
14198* There are now working infocmp, captoinfo, tput, and tclear utilities.
14199* tic can now compile entries in termcap syntax.
14200* Core-dump bug in pnoutrefresh fixed.
14201* We now recognize and compile all the nonstandard capabilities in Ross
14202  Ridge's mytinfo package (rendering it obsolete).
14203* General cleanup and documentation improvements.
14204* Fixes and additions to the installation-documentation files.
14205* Take cursor to normal mode on endwin.
14206
14207### ncurses 1.8.4 -> 1.8.5
14208* serious bugs in updating screen which caused erratic non-display,
14209  fixed.
14210* fixed initialization for getch() related variable which cause
14211  unpredictable results.
14212* fixed another doupdate bug which only appeared if you have
14213  parm_char.
14214* implemented redrawln() and redrawwin().
14215* implemented winsnstr() and related functions.
14216* cleaned up insertln() and deleteln() and implemented (w)insdeln().
14217* changed Makefile.dist so that installation of man pages will
14218  take note of the terminfo directory.
14219* fixed Configure (removed the mysterious 'X').
14220* Eric S. Raymond fixed the script.* files so that they work with
14221  stock awk.
14222
14223#### ncurses 1.8.3 -> 1.8.4 #### ####
14224* fixed bug in refreshing the screen after return from shell_mode.
14225  There are still problems but they don't manifest themselves on
14226  my machine (Linux 0.99.14f).
14227* added wgetnstr() and modified things accordingly.
14228* fixed the script.src script.test to work with awk not just gawk.
14229* Configure can now take an argument of the target system.
14230* added test/ncurses.c which replaces several other programs and
14231  performs more testing.
14232[Thanks to Eric S Raymond for the last 4]
14233* more fixes to lib_overlay.c and added test/over.c to illustrate
14234  how it works.
14235* fixed ungetch() to take int instead of ch.
14236* fixes to cure wgetch() if flushinp() is called.
14237
14238One note I forgot to mention in 1.8.3 is that tracing is off by
14239default starting in the version. If you want tracing output, put
14240traceon(); in your code and link with -ldcurses.
14241
14242#### ncurses 1.8.2 -> ncurses 1.8.3 #### ####
14243MAJOR CHANGES:
142441) The order of capabilities has been changed in order to achieve
14245binary compatibility with SVR4 terminfo database. This has the
14246unfortunate effect of breaking application currently linked with
14247ncurses. To ensure correct behavior, recompile all such programs.
14248Most programs using color or newer capabilities will break, others
14249will probably continue to work ok.
14250
142512) Pavel Curtis has renounced his copyright to the public domain.
14252This means that his original sources (posted to comp.sources.unix,
14253volume 1) are now in the public domain.  The current sources are
14254NOT in the public domain, they are copyrighted by me.  I'm
14255entertaining ideas on what the new terms ncurses is released under.
14256
142573) Eric S. Raymond has supplied a complete set of man pages for
14258ncurses in ?roff format. They will eventually replace most of the
14259current docs. Both sets are included in this release.
14260
14261Other changes and notes from 1.8.2 include:
14262* SIGSEGV during scrolling no longer occurs.
14263* Other problems with scrolling and use of idl have been corrected.
14264* lib_getch.c has been re-written and should perform flawlessly.
14265  please use test/getch.c and any other programs to test this.
14266* ripoffline() is implemented (Thanks to Eric) and slk_ functions
14267  changed accordingly.
14268* I've added support for terminals that scroll if you write in the
14269  bottom-right corner.
14270* fixed more bugs in pads code. If anybody has a program that uses
14271  pads I'd love a copy.
14272* correct handling for terminal with back_color_erase capability
14273  (such as Linux console, and most PC terminals)
14274* ^Z handling apparently didn't work (I should never trust code
14275  sent me to me without extensive testing). It now seems to be
14276  fixed. Let me know if you have problems.
14277* I've added support for Apollo and NeXT, but it may still be
14278  incomplete, especially when dealing with the lack of POSIX
14279  features.
14280* scrolling should be more efficient on terminals with idl
14281  capabilities. Please see src/lib_scroll.c for more notes.
14282* The line drawing routines were offset by 1 at both ends. This
14283  is now fixed.
14284* added a few missing prototypes and macros (e.g. setterm())
14285* fixed code in src/lib_overlay.c which used to crash.
14286* added a few more programs in test/ The ones from the PDCurses
14287  package are useful, especially if you have SVR4 proper. I'm
14288  interested in the results you get on such a systems (Eric? ;-).
14289  They already exposed certain bugs in ncurses.
14290* See src/README for porting notes.
14291* The C++ code should really replace ncurses.h instead of working
14292  around it. It should avoid name-space clashes with nterm.h (use
14293  rows instead of lines, etc.)
14294* The C++ should compile ok. I've added explicit rules to the
14295  Makefile because no C++ defaults are documented on the suns.
14296* The docs say that echo() and nocbreak() are mutually exclusive.
14297  At the moment ncurses will switch to cbreak() if the case above
14298  occurs. Should it continue to do so? How about echo() and noraw()?
14299* PDCurses seem to assume that wclear() will use current attribute
14300  when clearing the screen. According to Eric this is not the case
14301  with SVR4.
14302* I have discovered, to my chagrin, SunOS 4.x (and probably other systems)
14303  * doesn't have vsscanf and God knows what else!  I've will do a vsscanf().
14304* I've also found out that the src/script.* rely on gawk and will not
14305  work with stock awk or even with nawk. Any changes are welcome.
14306* Linux is more tolerant of NULL dereferences than most systems. This
14307  fact was exposed by hanoi.
14308* ncurses still seems inefficient in drawing the screen on a serial
14309  link between Linux and suns. The padding may be the culprit.
14310* There seems to be one lingering problem with doupdate() after shelling
14311  out. Despite the fact the it is sending out the correct information
14312  to the terminal, nothing takes effect until you press ^L or another
14313  refresh takes place. And yes, output does get flushed.
14314
14315#### ncurses 1.8.1 -> ncurses 1.8.2 #### Nov 28, 1993 ####
14316
14317* added support for SVR4 and BSDI's BSD/386.
14318* major update and fix to scrolling routine.
14319* MORE fixes to stuff in lib_getch.c.
14320* cleaned-up configuration options and can now generate
14321	Config.* files through an awk script.
14322* changed setupterm() so it can be called more than once,
14323	add added set_curterm(), del_curterm().
14324* a few minor cleanups.
14325* added more prototypes in curses.h
14326
14327#### ncurses 1.8 -> ncurses 1.8.1 #### Nov 4, 1993 ####
14328
14329* added support for NeXTStep 3.0
14330* added termcap emulation (not well tested).
14331* more complete C++ interface to ncurses.
14332* fixed overlay(), overwrite(), and added copywin().
14333* a couple of bug fixes.
14334* a few code cleanups.
14335
14336#### ncurses 0.7.2/0.7.3 -> ncurses 1.8 #### Aug 31, 1993 ####
14337
14338* The annoying message "can't open file." was due to missing
14339  terminfo entry for the used terminal. It has now been
14340  replaced by a hopefully more helpful message.
14341* Problems with running on serial lines are now fixed.
14342* Added configuration files for SunOS, Linux, HP/UX, Ultrix,
14343  386bsd/BSDI (if you have others send'em to me)
14344* Cleaner Makefile.
14345* The documentation in manual.doc is now more uptodate.
14346* update optimization and support for hp terminals, and 386bsd
14347  console driver(s).
14348* mvcur optimization for terminals without cursor addressing
14349  (doesn't work on Linux)
14350* if cursor moved since last update, getch() will refresh the
14351  screen before working.
14352* getch() & alarm() can now live together. in 0.7.3 a signal
14353  interrupted getch() (bug or feature?) now the getch is
14354  restarted.
14355* scanw() et all were sick, now fixed.
14356* support for 8-bit input (use meta()).
14357* added default screen size to all terminfos.
14358* added c++ Ncursesw class.
14359* several minor bug fixes.
14360
14361#### ncurses 0.7.2 -> ncurses 0.7.3 #### May 27, 1993 ####
14362

14364* more fixes to lib_getch.c
14365* changes related to Config
14366
14367#### ncurses 0.7 -> ncurses 0.7.2 #### May 22, 1993 ####
14368
14369* docs updated slightly (color usage is now documented).
14370* yet another fix for getch(), this one fixes problems with ESC being swallowed
14371  if another character is typed before the 1 second timeout.
14372* Hopefully, addstr() and addch() are 8-bit clean.
14373* fixed lib_tparm.c to use stdarg.h (should run on suns now)
14374* order of capabilities changed to reflect that specified in SYSV
14375  this will allow for binary-compatibility with existing terminfo dbs.
14376* added halfdelay()
14377* fixed problems with asc_init()
14378* added A_PROTECT and A_INVIS
14379* cleaned up vidputs()
14380* general cleanup of the code
14381* more attention to portability to other systems
14382* added terminfos for hp70092 (won't work until changes to lib_update.c are
14383  made) and 386BSD pcvt drivers.
14384
14385Thanks to Hellmuth Michaelis for his help.
14386optimization code is slated for the next major release, stay tuned!
14387
14388#### ncurses 0.6/0.61 -> ncurses 0.7 #### April 1, 1993
14389Please note that the next release will be called 1.8. If you want to know about
14390the rationale drop me a line.
14391
14392Included are several test programs in test/.
14393I've split up the panels library, reversi, tetris, sokoban. They are now
14394available separately from netcom.com:pub/zmbenhal/
14395
14396* color and ACS support is now fully compatible with SYSV at the terminfo
14397  level.
14398* Capabilities now includes as many SYSV caps I could find.
14399* tigetflag,tigetnum,tigetstr functions added.
14400* boolnames, boolfnames, boolcodes numnames, numfnames, numcodes,
14401  strnames, strfnames, strcodes arrays are now added.
14402* keyname() is added.
14403* All function keys can be defined in terminfo entries.
14404* fixed lin_tparm.c to behave properly.
14405* terminfo entries for vt* and xterm are included (improvements are welcome)
14406* more automation in handling caps and keys.
14407* included fixes from 0.6.1
14408* added a few more missing functions.
14409* fixed a couple of minor bugs.
14410* updated docs JUST a little (still miles behind in documenting the newer
14411	features).
14412
14413#### ncurses 0.6 -> ncurses 0.61 ####
14414
144151) Included the missing data/console.
14416
144172) allow attributes when drawing boxes.
14418
144193) corrected usage of win->_delay value.
14420
144214) fixed a bug in lib_getch.c. if it didn't recognize a sequence it would
14422	simply return the last character in the sequence. The correct
14423	behavior is to return the entire sequence one character at a time.
14424

14472* renamed compile/dump to tic/untic.
14473* New scrolling code.
