173	+ modify make_hash to not require --disable-leaks, to simplify building
174	  with address-sanitizer.

195	+ check for missing character after backslash in fmt_entry
196	+ check for acsc with odd length in dump_entry in check for one-one
197	  mapping (cf: 20060415);

203	  -I and -l options.
204
20520190928

221
22220190907
223	+ add --with-ada-libname option and modify Ada95 configuration to
224	  allow renaming the "AdaCurses" library (prompted by proposed changes
225	  by Pascal Pignard).
226	+ modify configure script to distinguish gcc from icc and clang when
227	  the --enable-warnings option is not used, to avoid unnecessary
228	  warnings about unrecognized inline options (report by Sven Joachim).
229
23020190831

439	+ eliminate fixed buffer-size when reading $TERMCAP variable.
440	+ correct logic in read_entry.c which prevented $TERMCAP variable from
441	  being interpreted as a fallback to terminfo entry (prompted by
442	  Savannah #54556, cf: 20110924).
443
44420190121
445	+ add a check in test/configure to work around non-ncurses termcap.h
446	  file in Slackware.
447	+ corrected flag for "seq" method of db 1.8.5 interface, needed by toe
448	  on some of the BSDs.

454	  init_extended_pair, extended_pair_content, init_extended_color,
455	  extended_color_content
456	+ add -p option to test/pair_content, test/color_content to show the
457	  return values from the tested functions.
458	+ improve manual page curs_color.3x discussion of error returns and
459	  extensions.
460	+ add O_INPUT_FIELD extension to form library (patch by Leon Winter).

476	  building test-packages for Arch.
477	+ modify configure script to avoid conflict with a non-POSIX feature
478	  that enables all parts of the system headers by default.  Some
479	  packagers have come to rely upon this behavior (FreeBSD #234049).
480	+ update config.guess, config.sub
481
48220181229
483	+ improve man/curs_mouse.3x with regard to xterm

488	+ add test/pair_content.c and test/color_content.c
489	+ modify infocmp to omit filtering of "OTxx" names which are used for
490	  obsolete capabilities, when the output is sorted by long-names.
491	  Doing this helps when making a table of the short/long capability
492	  names.
493
49420181215
495	+ several fixes for gcc8 strict compiler warnings.
496	+ fix a typo in comments (Aaron Gyes).
497	+ add nsterm-build309 to replace nsterm-256color, assigning the latter
498	  as an alias of nsterm, to make mouse work with nsterm-256color -TD
499	+ base gnome-256color entry on "gnome", not "vte", for consistency -TD
500	+ updates for configure macros from work on tin and xterm:
501	  + CF_GNU_SOURCE, allow for Cygwin's newlib when checking for the
502	    _DEFAULT_SOURCE symbol.
503	  + CF_VA_COPY, add fallback check if neither va_copy/__va_copy is
504	    supported, to try copying the pointers for va_list, or as an array.
505	    Also add another fallback check, for __builtin_va_copy(), which
506	    could be used with AIX xlc in c89 mode.
507
50820181208
509	+ modify wbkgd() and wbkgrnd() to improve compatibility with SVr4
510	  curses, changing the way the window rendition is updated when the

518		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
519
52020181125
521	+ build-fix (reports by Chih-Hsuan Yen, Sven Joachim).
522
52320181124
524	+ check --with-fallbacks option to ensure there is a value, and add
525	  the fallback information to top-level Makefile summary.
526	+ add some traces in initialization to show whether a fallback entry is
527	  used.
528	+ build-fix for test/movewindow with ncurses-examples on Solaris.
529	+ add "-l" option to test/background, to dump screen contents in a form
530	  that lets different curses implementations be compared.
531	+ modify the initialization checks for mouse so that the xterm+sm+1006
532	  block will work with terminal descriptions not mentioning xterm
533	  (report by Tomas Janousek).
534
53520181117
536	+ ignore the hex/b64 $TERMINFO in toe's listing.
537	+ correct a status-check in _nc_read_tic_entry() so that if reading
538	  a hex/b64 $TERMINFO, and the $TERM does not match, fall-through to
539	  the compiled-in search list.
540
54120181110
542	+ several workarounds to ensure proper C compiler used in parts of
543	  Ada95 tree.
544	+ update config.guess, config.sub from

553	  from the infocmp -Q option.
554	+ allow value for --with-versioned-syms to be a relative pathname
555	+ add a couple of broken-linker symbols to the list of versioned
556	  symbols to help with link-time optimization versus weak symbols.
557	+ apply shift/control/alt logic when decoding xterm's 1006 mode to
558	  wheel-mouse events (Redhat #1610681).
559
56020181013
561	+ amend change from 20180818, which undid a fix for the $INSTALL value
562	  to make it an absolute path.
563
56420181006
565	+ improve a configure check to work with newer optimizers (report by
566	  Denis Pronin, Gentoo #606142).
567	+ fix typo in tput.c (Sven Joachim, cf: 20180825).
568
56920180929

578	+ renumber regent40 function-keys to match manual -TD
579	+ add cd (clr_eos) to adds200 -TD
580
58120180923
582	+ build-fix: remove a _tracef call which was used for debugging (report
583	  by Chris Clayton).
584
58520180922
586	+ ignore interrupted system-call in test/ncurses's command-line, e.g.,
587	  if the terminal were resized.
588	+ add shift/control/alt logic for decoding xterm's 1006 mode (Redhat
589	  #1610681, cf: 20141011).
590	+ modify rpm test-packages to not use --disable-relink with Redhat,
591	  since Fedora 28's tools do not work with that feature.
592
59320180908
594	+ document --with-pcre2 configure option in INSTALL.
595	+ improve workaround for special case in PutAttrChar() where a cell is
596	  marked as alternate-character set, to handle a case where the
597	  character in the cell does not correspond to any of the ASCII
598	  fallbacks (report by Leon Winter, cf: 20180505).
599	+ amend change to form library which attempted to avoid unnecessary
600	  update of cursor position in non-public fields, to simply disable
601	  output in this case (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20180414).
602	+ improve check for LINE_MAX runtime limit, to accommodate broken
603	  implementations of sysconf().
604
60520180901
606	+ improve manual page for wgetnstr, giving background for the length
607	  parameter.
608	+ define a limit for wgetnstr, wgetn_wstr when length is negative or
609	  "too large".
610	+ update configure script to autoconf 2.52.20180819 (Debian #887390).
611
61220180825
613	+ add a section to tput manual page clarifying how it determines the
614	  terminal size (prompted by discussion with Grant Jenks).
615	+ add "--disable-relink" to rpm test-packages, for consistency with the
616	  deb test-packages.
617	+ split spec-file into ncurses6.spec and ncursest6.spec to work around
618	  toolset breakage in Fedora 28.
619	+ drop mention of "--disable-touching", which was not in the final
620	  20180818 updates.
621
62220180818
623	+ build-fix for PDCurses with ncurses-examples.
624	+ improved CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS.
625	+ modify configure scripts to reduce relinking/ranlib during library
626	  install (Debian #903790):
627	  + use "install -p" when available, to avoid need for ranlib of
628	    static libraries.
629	  + modify scripts which use "--disable-relink" to add a 1-second
630	    sleep to work around tools which use whole-second timestamps, e.g.,
631	    in utime() rather than the actual file system resolution.
632
63320180804
634	+ improve logic for clear with E3 extension, in case the terminal
635	  scrolls content onto its saved-lines before actually clearing
636	  the display, by clearing the saved-lines after clearing the
637	  display (report/patch by Nicholas Marriott).
638
63920180728
640	+ improve documentation regarding feature-test macros in curses.h
641	+ improve documentation regarding the virtual and physical screens.
642	+ formatting fixes for manpages, regenerate man-html documentation.
643
64420180721
645	+ build-fixes for gcc8.
646	+ corrected acsc for wy50 -TD
647	+ add wy50 and wy60 shifted function-keys as kF1 to kF16 -TD
648	+ remove ansi+rep mis-added to interix in 2018-02-23 -TD
649
65020180714
651	+ add enum, regex examples to test/demo_forms
652	+ add configure check for pcre-posix library to help with MinGW port.
653

655	+ build-fixes for gcc8.
656	+ correct order of WINDOW._ttytype versus WINDOW._windowlist in
657	  report_offsets.
658	+ fix a case where tiparm could return null if the format-string was
659	  empty (Debian #902630).
660
66120180630
662	+ add acsc string to vi200 (Nibby Nebbulous)
663	  add right/down-arrow to vi200's acsc -TD
664	+ add "x" to tput's getopt string so that "tput -x clear" works
665	  (Nicholas Marriott).
666	+ minor fixes prompted by anonymous report on stack overflow:
667	  + correct order of checks in _nc_get_locale(), for systems lacking
668	    locale support.
669	  + add "#error" in a few places to flag unsupported configurations
670
67120180623
672	+ use _WIN32/_WIN64 in preference to __MINGW32__/__MINGW64__ symbols
673	  to simplify building with MSVC, since the former are defined in both
674	  compiler configurations (report by Ali Abdulkadir).
675	+ further improvements to configure-checks from work on dialog, i.e.,
676	  updated CF_ADD_INCDIR, CF_FIND_LINKAGE, CF_GCC_WARNINGS,
677	  CF_GNU_SOURCE, CF_LARGEFILE, CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE, CF_SIZECHANGE, and
678	  CF_TRY_XOPEN_SOURCE.
679	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
680		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
681
68220180616
683	+ build-fix for ncurses-examples related to gcc8-fixes (cf: 20180526).
684	+ reduce use of _GNU_SOURCE for current glibc where _DEFAULT_SOURCE
685	  combines with _XOPEN_SOURCE (Debian #900987).
686	+ change target configure level for _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 to address
687	  use of vsscanf and setenv.
688	+ improved configure-checks CF_SIZECHANGE and CF_STRUCT_TERMIOS from
689	  work on dialog.
690
69120180609
692	+ modify generated ncurses*config and ncurses.pc, ncursesw.pc, etc.,
693	  to list helper libraries such as gpm for static linking (Debian
694	  #900839).
695	+ marked vwprintw and vwscanw as deprecated; recommend using vw_printw
696	  and vw_scanw, respectively.
697
69820180602
699	+ add RPM test-package "ncursest-examples".
700	+ modified RPM test-package to work with Mageia6.
701
70220180526
703	+ add note in curs_util.3x about unctrl.h
704	+ review/improve header files to ensure that those include necessary
705	  files except for the previously-documented cases (report by Isaac
706	  Pascual Monells).
707	+ improved test-package scripts, adapted from byacc 1.9 20180525.
708	+ fix some gcc8 warnings seen in Redhat package build, but
709	  work around bug in gcc8 compiler warnings in comp_parse.c
710
71120180519
712	+ formatting fixes for manpages, regenerate man-html documentation.
713	+ trim spurious whitespace from tmux in 2018-02-24 changes;
714	  fix some inconsistencies in/between tmux- and iterm2-entries for SGR
715	  (report by C Anthony Risinger)
716	+ improve iterm2 using some xterm features which it has adapted -TD
717	+ add check in pair_content() to handle the case where caller asks
718	  for an uninitialized pair (Debian #898658).
719
72020180512
721	+ remove trailing ';' from GCC_DEPRECATED definition.
722	+ repair a change from 20110730 which left an error-check/warning dead.
723	+ fix several minor Coverity warnings.
724
72520180505
726	+ add deprecation warnings for internal functions called by older
727	  versions of tack.
728	+ fix a special case in PutAttrChar() where a cell is marked as
729	  alternate-character set, but the terminal does not actually support
730	  the given graphic character.  This would happen in an older terminal
731	  such as vt52, which lacks most line-drawing capability.
732	+ use configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
733	  conflict with Debian packages versus test-packages.
734	+ update tracemunch to work with perl 5.26.2, which changed the rules
735	  for escaping regular expressions.
736
73720180428
738	+ document new form-extension O_EDGE_INSERT_STAY (report by Leon
739	  Winter).
740	+ correct error-returns listed in manual pages for a few form functions
741	  (report by Leon Winter).
742	+ add a check in form-library for null-pointer dereference:
743		unfocus_current_field (form);
744		form_driver (form, REQ_VALIDATION);
745	  (patch by Leon Winter).
746
74720180414
748	+ modify form library to optionally delay cursor movement on a field
749	  edge/boundary (patch by Leon Winter).
750	+ modify form library to avoid unnecessary update of cursor position in
751	  non-public fields (patch by Leon Winter).
752	+ remove unused _nc_import_termtype2() function.
753	+ also add/improve null-pointer checks in other places
754	+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_parse_entry to handle an error when
755	  a use-name is invalid syntax (report by Chung-Yi Lin).
756
75720180407
758	+ clarify in manual pages that vwprintw and vwscanw are obsolete,
759	  not part of X/Open Curses since 2007.
760	+ use "const" in some prototypes rather than NCURSES_CONST where X/Open
761	  Curses was updated to do this, e.g., wscanw, newterm, the terminfo
762	  interface.  Also use "const" for consistency in the termcap
763	  interface, which was withdrawn by X/Open Curses in Issue 5 (2007).
764	  As of Issue 7, X/Open Curses still lacks "const" for certain return
765	  values, e.g., keyname().
766
76720180331
768	+ improve terminfo write/read by modifying the fourth item of the
769	  extended header to denote the number of valid strings in the extended
770	  string table (prompted by a comment in unibilium's sources).
771
77220180324
773	+ amend Scaled256() macro in test/picsmap.c to cover the full range
774	  0..1000 (report by Roger Pau Monne).
775	+ add some checks in tracemunch for undefined variables.
776	+ trim some redundant capabilities from st-0.7 -TD
777	+ trim unnecessary setf/setb from interix -TD
778
77920180317
780	+ fix a check in infotocap which may not have detected a problem when
781	  it should have.
782	+ add a check in tic for the case where setf/setb are given using
783	  different strings, but provide identical results to setaf/setab.
784	+ further improve fix for terminfo.5 (patch by Kir Kolyshkin).
785	+ reorder loop-limit checks in winsnstr() in case the string has no
786	  terminating null and only the number of characters is used (patch
787	  by Gyorgy Jeney).
788
78920180303
790	+ modify TurnOn/TurnOff macros in lib_vidattr.c and lib_vid_attr.c to
791	  avoid expansion of "CUR" in trace.
792	+ improve a few lintian warnings in test-packages.
793	+ modify lib_setup to avoid calling pthread_self() without first
794	  verifying that the address is valid, i.e., for weak symbols
795	  (report/patch by Werner Fink).
796	+ modify generated terminfo.5 to not use "expand" and related width
797	  on the last column of tables, making layout on wide terminals look
798	  better (adapted from patch by Kir Kolyshkin).
799	+ add a category to report_offsets, e.g., "w" for wide-character, "t"
800	  for threads to make the report more readable.  Reorganized the
801	  structures reported to make the categories more apparent.
802	+ simplify some ifdef's for extended-colors.
803	+ add NCURSES_GLOBALS and NCURSES_PRESCREEN to report_offsets, to show
804	  how similar the different tinfo configurations are.
805
80620180224
807	+ modify _nc_resolve_uses2() to detect incompatible types when merging
808	  a "use=" clause of extended capabilities.  The problem was seen in a
809	  defective terminfo integrated from simpleterm sources in 20171111,
810	  compounded by repair in 20180121.
811	+ correct Ss/Ms interchange in st-0.7 entry (tmux #1264) -TD
812	+ fix remaining flash capabilities with trailing mandatory delays -TD
813	+ correct cut/paste in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim).
814
81520180217
816	+ remove incorrect free() from 20170617 changes (report by David Macek).
817	+ correct type for "U8" in user_caps.5; it is a number not boolean.
818	+ add a null-pointer check in safe_sprintf.c (report by Steven Noonan).
819	+ improve fix for Debian #882620 by reusing limit2 variable (report by
820	  Julien Cristau, Sven Joachim).
821
82220180210
823	+ modify misc/Makefile.in to install/uninstall explicit list in case
824	  the build-directory happens to have no ".pc" files when an uninstall
825	  is performed (report by Jeffrey Walton).
826	+ deprecate safe-sprintf, since the vsnprintf function, which does what
827	  was needed, was standardized long ago.
828	+ add several development/experimental options to development packages.
829	+ minor reordering of options in configure script to make the threaded
830	  and reentrant options distinct from the other extensions which are
831	  normally enabled.
832
83320180203
834	+ minor fixes to test/*.h to make them idempotent.
835	+ add/use test/parse_rgb.h to show how the "RGB" capability works.
836	+ add a clarification in user_caps.5 regarding "RGB" capability.
837	+ add extended_slk_color{,_sp} symbols to the appropriate
838	  package/*.{map,sym} files (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20170401).
839
84020180129
841	+ update "VERSION" file, used in shared-library naming.
842
84320180127 6.1 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
844

855	+ expanded the history section of konsole to explain its flawed
856	  imitation of xterm's keyboard -TD

874	+ modify xterm+256color and xterm+256setaf to use correct number of
875	  color pairs, for ncurses 6.1 -TD
876	+ add rs1 capability to xterm-256color -TD
877	+ modify xterm-r5, xterm-r6 and xterm-xf86-v32 to use xterm+kbs to
878	  match xterm #272, reflecting packager's changes -TD
879	+ remove "boolean" Se, Ss from st-0.7 -TD
880	+ add konsole-direct and st-direct -TD
881	+ remove unsupported "Tc" capability from st-0.7; use st-direct if
882	  direct-colors are wanted -TD
883	+ add vte-direct -TD
884	+ add XT, hpa, indn, and vpa to screen, and invis, E3 to tmux (patch by
885	  Pierre Carru)
886	+ use xterm+sm+1006 in xterm-new, vte-2014 -TD
887	+ use xterm+x11mouse in iterm, iterm2, mlterm3 because xterm's 1006
888	  mode does not work with those programs.  konsole is debatable -TD
889	+ add "termite" entry (report by Markus Pfeiffer) -TD
890	> merge branch begun April 2, 2017 which provides these features:
891	+ support read/write new binary-format for terminfo which stores
892	  numeric capabilities as a signed 32-bit integer.  The test programs
893	  such as picsmap, ncurses were created or updated during 2017 to use
894	  this feature.
895	+ the new format is written by the wide-character configuration of
896	  tic when it finds a numeric capability larger than 32767.
897	+ other applications such as infocmp built with the wide-character
898	  ncurses library work as expected.
899	+ applications built with the "narrow" (8-bit) configuration will
900	  read the new format, but will limit those extended values to 32767.
901	+ in either wide/narrow configuration, the structure defined in
902	  term.h still uses signed 16-bit values.
903	+ because it is incompatible with the legacy (mid-1980s) binary format,
904	  a new magic value is provided for the "file" program.
905	+ the term.5 manual page is updated to describe this new format.
906	+ the limit on file-size for compiled terminfo is increased in the
907	  wide-character configuration to 32768.
908
90920180120
910	+ build-fix in picsmap.c for stdint.h existence.
911	+ add --disable-stripping option to configure scripts.
912	+ modify ncurses-examples to install test-scripts in the data directory.
913	+ work around tool-breakage in Debian 9 and later by invoking
914	  gprconfig to specify the C compiler to be used by gnatmake,
915	  and conditionally suppressing Library_Options line for static
916	  libraries.
917	+ bump the compat level for test-packages to 7, i.e., Debian 5.
918
91920180106
920	+ fixes for writing extended color pairs in putwin.
921	+ modify test/savescreen.c to add test patterns that exercise 88-,
922	  256-, etc., colors.
923	+ modify configure option --with-build-cc, adding clang, c89 and c99
924	  as possible default values.
925	+ modify ncurses-examples configure script to use pkg-config for the
926	  extra form/menu/panel libraries, to be more consistent with the
927	  handling of the curses/ncurses library.
928	+ modify test-packages for mingw to supply "pc" files.
929	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to list -lpthread as a private library when
930	  configured to access it via weak symbols.
931	+ simplify gen-pkgconfig.in, adding -ltinfo without the special linker
932	  checks because some versions of the linker simply hard-code the
933	  behavior.
934	+ update URLs for ncurses website to use https.
935	+ modify CF_CURSES_LIBS to fill in $cf_nculib_root in case the
936	  ncurses-examples are built with a system ncurses that lacks the
937	  standard "curses" symbolic link, as done by SuSE.  The symbol is
938	  needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and
939	  would be set properly using the options "--with-screen", etc.
940	+ generate misc/*.pc with "all" rule, as done for "sources" rule
941	  (report by Jeffrey Walton).
942
94320171230
944	+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with Fedora27, adding check for
945	  reset_color_pairs() -- not yet in Fedora's package.
946	+ consistently add $CFLAGS to $MK_SHARED_LIB symbol in configure
947	  script when the latter happens to use the C compiler rather than
948	  directly using the loader (report by Jeffrey Walton).
949	+ set ABI for upcoming 6.1 release in "*.map" files.  While there are
950	  some remaining internals to apply, no ABI-related changes are
951	  anticipated.
952	+ add configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
953	  conflict with Redhat packages versus test-packages.
954
95520171223
956	+ modify ncurses-examples to quiet const-warnings when building with
957	  PDCurses.
958	+ modify toe to not exit if unable to read a terminal description,
959	  e.g., if there is a permission problem.
960	+ minor fix for progs/toe.c, using _nc_free_termtype2.
961	+ assign 0 to pointer in _nc_tgetent_leak() after freeing it. Also
962	  avoid reusing pointer from previous successful call to tgetent
963	  if the latest call is unsuccessful (patch by Michael Schroeder,
964	  OpenSuSE #1070450).
965	+ minor fix for test/tracemunch, initialize $awaiting variable.
966
96720171216
968	+ repair template in test/package/ncurses-examples.spec (cf: 20171111).
969	+ improve tic's warning about the number of parameters tparm might use
970	  for u1-u9 by making a special case for u6.
971	+ improve curs_attr.3x discussion of color pairs.
972
97320171209
974	+ modify misc/ncurses-config.in to make output with --includedir
975	  consistent with --cflags, i.e., when --disable-overwrite option was
976	  configured the output should show the subdirectory where headers
977	  are.
978	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to suppress macros when calling an "implemented"
979	  function in link_test.c
980	+ updated ftp-url used in test-packages, etc.
981	+ modify order of -pie/-shared options in configure script in case
982	  LDFLAGS uses "-pie", working around a defect or limitation in the GNU
983	  linker (prompted by patch by Yogesh Prasad, forwarded by Jay Shah).
984	+ add entry in man_db.renames for user_caps.5
985
98620171125
987	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid tracing result from getstr/getnstr
988	  before initialized.
989	+ add "-a" aspect-ratio option to picsmap.
990	+ add configure check for default path of rgb.txt, used in picsmap.
991	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to truncate too-long filename (report by
992	  Hosein Askari, Debian #882620).
993	+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with NetBSD curses:
994	  + it lacks the use_env() function.
995	  + it lacks libpanel; a recent change used the wrong ifdef symbol.
996	+ add a macro for is_linetouched() and adjust the function's return
997	  value to make it possible for most applications to check for an
998	  error-return (report by Midolikawa H).
999	+ additional manpage cleanup.
1000	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
1001		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
1002
100320171118
1004	+ add a note to curs_addch.3x on portability.
1005	+ add a note to curs_pad.3x on the origin and portability of pads.
1006	+ improve manpage description of getattrs (report by Midolikawa H).
1007	+ improve manpage macros (prompted by discussion in Debian #880551.
1008	+ reviewed test-programs using KEY_RESIZE, made fixes to test/worm.c
1009	+ add a "-d" option to picsmap for default-colors.
1010	+ modify old terminology entry and a few other terminal emulators to
1011	  account for xon -TD
1012	+ correct sgr string for tmux, which used screen's "standout" code
1013	  rather than the standard code (patch by Roman Kagan)
1014	+ correct sgr/sgr0 strings in a few other cases reported by tic, making
1015	  those correspond to the non-sgr settings where they differ, but
1016	  otherwise use ECMA-48 consistently:
1017	  jaixterm, aixterm, att5420_2, att4424, att500, decansi, d410-7b,
1018	  dm80, hpterm, emu-220, hp2, iTerm2.app, mterm-ansi, ncrvt100an,
1019	  st-0.7, vi603, vwmterm -TD
1020	+ build-fix for diagnostics warning in lib_mouse.c for pre-5.0 versions
1021	  of gcc which did not recognize the diagnostic "push" pragma (patch by
1022	  Vassili Courzakis).
1023
102420171111
1025	+ add "op" to xterm+256setaf -TD
1026	+ reviewed terminology 1.0.0 -TD
1027	+ reviewed st 0.7 -TD
1028	+ suppress debug-package for ncurses-examples rpm build.
1029
103020171104
1031	+ check for interrupt in color-pair initialization of dots_curses.c,
1032	  dots_xcurses.c
1033	+ add z/Z zoom feature to test/ncurses.c C/c screens.
1034	+ add '<' and '>' commands to test/ncurses.c S/s screens, to better
1035	  test off-by-ones in the overlap/copywin functions.
1036
103720171028
1038	+ improve man/curs_inwstr.3x, correct end-logic for lib_inwstr.c
1039	  (report by Midolikawa H).
1040	+ fix typo in a few places for "improvements" (patch by Sven Joachim).
1041	+ clear the other half of a double-width character on which a line
1042	  drawing character is drawn.
1043	+ make test/ncurses.c "s" test easier to understand which subtests are
1044	  available; add a "S" wide-character overlap test-screen.
1045	+ modify test/ncurses.c C/c tests to allow for extended color pairs.
1046	+ add endwin() call in error-returns from test/ncurses.c omitted in
1047	  recent redesign of its menu (cf: 20170923).
1048	+ improve install of hashed-db by removing the ".db" file as done for
1049	  directory-tree terminal databases.
1050	+ repair a few overlooked items in include/ncurses_defs from recent
1051	  port/refactoring of test-programs (cf: 20170909).
1052	+ add test/padview.c, to compare pads with direct updates in view.c
1053
105420171021
1055	+ modify test/view.c to expand tabs using the ncurses library rather
1056	  than in the test-program.
1057	+ remove very old SIGWINCH example in test/view.c, just use KEY_RESIZE.
1058	+ add -T, -e, -f -m options to "dots" test-programs.
1059	+ fix a few typos in usage-messages for test-programs.
1060
106120171014
1062	+ minor cleanup to test/view.c:
1063	  + eliminate "-n" option by simply reading the whole file.
1064	  + implement page up/down commands.
1065	+ add check in tput for init/reset operands to ensure those use a
1066	  terminal.
1067	+ improve manual pages which discuss chtype, cchar_t types and the
1068	  attribute values which can be stored in those types.
1069	+ correct array-index when parsing "-T" command-line option in tabs
1070	  program.
1071	+ modify demo_new_pair.c to pass extended pairs to setcchar().
1072	+ add test/dots_xcurses.c to illustrate a different approach used for
1073	  extended colors which can be contrasted with dots_curses.c.
1074	+ add a check in tic to note when a description uses non-mandatory
1075	  delays without xon_xoff.  This is not an error, but some descriptions
1076	  for a terminal emulator may use the combination incorrectly.
1077
107820171007
1079	+ modify "-T" option of clear and tput to call use_tioctl() to obtain
1080	  the operating system's notion of the screensize if possible.
1081	+ review/repair some exit-codes for tput, making usage-message exit
1082	  with 2 rather than 1, and a failure to open terminal 4+errno.
1083	+ amend check in tput, tabs and clear to allow those to use the
1084	  database-only features in cron if a -T option gives a suitable
1085	  terminal name (report by Lauri Tirkkonen).
1086	+ correct an ifdef in test/ncurses.c for systems with soft-keys but
1087	  not slk_color().
1088	+ regenerate man-html documentation.
1089
109020170930
1091	+ fix a symbol conflict that made ncurses.c C/c menu not work with
1092	  Solaris xpg4 curses.
1093	+ add refresh() call to dots_mvcur.c, needed to use mvcur() with
1094	  Solaris xpg4 curses after calling newterm().
1095	+ minor fixes for configure script from work on ncurses-examples and
1096	  tin.
1097	+ improve animation in test/xmas.c by adding a time-delay in blinkit().
1098	+ modify several test programs to reflect that ncurses honors existing
1099	  signal handlers in initscr(), while other implementations do not.
1100	+ modify bs.c to make it easier to quit.
1101	+ change ncurses-examples to use attr_t vs chtype to follow X/Open
1102	  documentation more closely since Solaris xpg4-curses uses different
1103	  values for WA_xxx vs A_xxx that rely on attr_t being an unsigned
1104	  short.  Tru64 aka OSF1, HPUX, AIX did as ncurses does, equating the
1105	  two sets.
1106
110720170923
1108	+ modify menu for test/ncurses.c to fit on 24-line screen.
1109	+ build-fix for configure --with-caps=uwin
1110	+ add options to test_arrays.c, for selecting termcap vs terminfo, etc.
1111
111220170916
1113	+ minor fix to test/filter.c to avoid clearing the command in one case.
1114	+ modify filter() to discard clr_eos if back_color_erase is set.
1115
111620170909
1117	+ improve wide-character implementation of myADDNSTR() in frm_driver.c,
1118	  which was inconsistent with the normal implementation.
1119	+ save/restore cursor position in Undo_Justification(), matching
1120	  behavior of Buffer_To_Window() (report by Leon Winter).
1121	+ modify test/knight to provide the "slow" solution for small screens
1122	  using "R", noting that Warnsdorf's method is easily done with "a".
1123	+ modify several test-programs which call use_default_colors() to
1124	  consistently do this only if "-d" option is given.
1125	+ additional changes to test with non-standard variants of curses:
1126	  + modify a loop limit in firework.c to work around absence of limit
1127	    checks in some libraries.
1128	  + fill the last row of a window with "?" in firstlast if waddch does
1129	    not return ERR on the lower-right corner.
1130	+ add checks in test/configure for some functions not in 4.3BSD curses.
1131	+ fix a regression in test/configure (cf: 20170826).
1132
113320170902
1134	+ amend change for endwin-state for better consistency with the older
1135	  logic (report/patch by Jeb Rosen, cf: 20170722).
1136	+ modify check in fmt_entry() to handle a cancelled reset string
1137	  (Debian #873746).  Make similar fixes in other parts of dump_entry.c
1138	  and tput.c
1139
114020170827
1141	+ fix a bug in repeat_char logic (cf: 20170729, report by Chris Clayton).
1142
114320170826
1144	+ fixes for "iterm2" (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
1145	+ corrected a warning from tic about keys which are the same, to skip
1146	  over missing/cancelled values.
1147	+ add check in tic for unnecessary use of "2" to denote a shifted
1148	  special key.
1149	+ improve checks in trim_sgr0, comp_parse.c and parse_entry.c, for
1150	  cancelled string capabilities.
1151	+ add check in _nc_parse_entry() for invalid entry name, setting the
1152	  name to "invalid" to avoid problems storing entries.
1153	+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
1154	  + add a check in comp_scan.c to handle the special case where a
1155	    nontext file ending with a NUL rather than newline is given to tic
1156	    as input (Redhat #1484274).
1157	  + allow for cancelled capabilities in _nc_save_str (Redhat #1484276).
1158	  + add validity checks for "use=" target in _nc_parse_entry (Redhat
1159	    #1484284).
1160	  + check for invalid strings in postprocess_termcap (Redhat #1484285)
1161	  + reset secondary pointers on EOF in next_char() (Redhat #1484287).
1162	  + guard _nc_safe_strcpy() and _nc_safe_strcat() against calls using
1163	    cancelled strings (Redhat #1484291).
1164	+ correct typo in curs_memleaks.3x (Sven Joachim).
1165	+ improve test/configure checks for some curses variants not based on
1166	  X/Open Curses.
1167	+ add options for test/configure to disable checks for form, menu and
1168	  panel libraries.
1169
117020170819
1171	+ update "iterm" entry -TD
1172	+ add "iterm2" entry (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
1173	+ regenerate llib-* files.
1174	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
1175	+ improve picsmap test-program:
1176	  + reduce memory used for tsearch
1177	  + add report in log file showing cumulative color coverage.
1178	+ add -x option to clear/tput to make the E3 extension optional
1179	  (cf: 20130622).
1180	+ add options -T and -V to clear command for compatibility with tput.
1181	+ add usage message to clear command (Debian #371855).
1182	+ improve usage messages for tset and tput.
1183	+ minor fixes to "RGB" extension and reset_color_pairs().
1184
118520170812
1186	+ improve description of -R option in infocmp manual page (report by
1187	  Stephane Chazelas).
1188	+ add reset_color_pairs() function.
1189	+ add user_caps.5 manual page to document the terminfo extensions used
1190	  by ncurses.
1191	+ improve build scripts, using SIGQUIT vs SIGTRAP; add other configure
1192	  script fixes from work on xterm, lynx and tack.
1193	+ modify install-rule for ncurses-examples to put the data files in
1194	  /usr/share/ncurses-examples
1195	+ improve tracemunch, by changing address-parameters of add_wch(),
1196	  color_content() and pair_content() to dummy parameters.
1197	+ minor optimization to _nc_change_pair, to return quickly when the
1198	  current screen is marked for clearing.
1199	+ in-progress changes to improve performance of test/picsmap.c for
1200	  loading image files.
1201	+ modify allocation for SCREEN's color-pair table to start small, grow
1202	  on demand up to the existing limit.
1203	+ add "RGB" extension capability for direct-color support, use this to
1204	  improve color_content().
1205	+ improve picsmap test-program:
1206	  + if no palette file is needed, attempt to load one based on $TERM,
1207	    checking first in the current directory, then by adding ".dat"
1208	    suffix, and finally in the data-directory, e.g.,
1209	    /usr/share/ncurses-examples
1210	  + add "-l" option for logging
1211	  + add "-d" option for debugging
1212	  + add "-s" option for stepping automatically through list of images,
1213	    with time delay.
1214	  + use tsearch to improve time for loading color table for images.
1215	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
1216		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
1217
121820170729
1219	+ update interix entry using tack and SFU on Windows 7 Ultimate -TD
1220	+ use ^? for kdch1 in interix (reported by Jonathan de Boyne Pollard)
1221	+ add "rep" to xterm-new, available since 1997/01/26 -TD
1222	+ move SGR 24 and 27 from vte-2014 to vte-2012 (request by Alain
1223	  Williams) -TD
1224	+ add a check in newline_forces_scroll() in case a program moves the
1225	  cursor outside scrolling margins (report by Robert King).
1226	+ improve _nc_tparm_analyze, using that to extend the checks made by
1227	  tic for reporting inconsistencies between the expected number of
1228	  parameters for a capability and the actual.
1229	+ amend handling of repeat_char capability in EmitRange (adapted from
1230	  report/patch by Dick Wesseling):
1231	  + translate the character to the alternate character set when the
1232	    alternate character set is enabled.
1233	  + do not use repeat_char for characters past 255.
1234	+ document "_nc_free_tinfo" in manual page, because it could be used in
1235	  tack for memory-leak checking.
1236	+ add "--without-tack" configure option to refine "--with-progs"
1237	  configure option.  Normally tack is no longer built in-tree, but
1238	  a few packagers combine it during the build.  If term_entry.h is
1239	  installed, there is no advantage to in-tree builds.
1240	+ adjust configure-script to define HAVE_CURSES_DATA_BOOLNAMES symbol
1241	  needed for tack 1.08 when built in-tree.  Rather than relying upon
1242	  internal "_nc_" functions, tack now uses the boolean, number and
1243	  string capability name-arrays provided by ncurses and SVr4 Unix
1244	  curses.  It still uses term_entry.h for the definitions of the
1245	  extended capability arrays.
1246	+ add an overlooked null-pointer check in mvcur changes from 20170722
1247
124820170722
1249	+ improve test-packages for ncurses-examples and AdaCurses for lintian
1250	+ modify logic for endwin-state to be able to detect the case where
1251	  the screen was never initialized, using that to trigger a flush of
1252	  ncurses' buffer for mvcur, e.g., in test/dots_mvcur.c for the
1253	  term-driver configuration.
1254	+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to a few other internal header
1255	  files to allow each to be compiled separately.
1256	+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to tic's header-files; any program
1257	  using tic-library will have to supply this file.  Legacy tack
1258	  versions supply this file; ongoing tack development has dropped the
1259	  dependency upon tic-library and new releases will not be affected.
1260
126120170715
1262	+ modify command-line parameters for "convert" used in picsmap to work
1263	  with ImageMagick 6.8 and newer.
1264	+ fix build-problem with tack and ABI-5 (Debian #868328).
1265	+ repair termcap-format from tic/infocmp broken in 20170701 fixes
1266	  (Debian #868266).
1267	+ reformat terminfo.src with 20170513 updates.
1268	+ improve test-packages to address lintian warnings.
1269
127020170708
1271	+ add a note to tic manual page about -W versus -f options.
1272	+ correct a limit-check in fixes from 20170701 (report by Sven Joachim).
1273
127420170701
1275	+ modify update_getenv() in db_iterator.c to ensure that environment
1276	  variables which are not initially set will be checked later if an
1277	  application happens to set them (patch by Guillaume Maudoux).
1278	+ remove initialization-check for calling napms() in the term-driver
1279	  configuration; none is needed.
1280	+ add help-screen to test/test_getstr.c and test/test_get_wstr.c
1281	+ improve compatibility between different configurations of new_prescr,
1282	  fixing a case with threaded code and term-driver where c++/demo did
1283	  not work (cf: 20160213).
1284	+ the fixes for Redhat #1464685 obscured a problem subsequently
1285	  reported in Redhat #1464687; the given test-case was no longer
1286	  reproducible.  Testing without the fixes for the earlier reports
1287	  showed a problem with buffer overflow in dump_entry.c, which is
1288	  addressed by reducing the use of a fixed-size buffer.
1289	+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
1290	  (Redhat #1464684, #1464685, #1464686, #1464691).
1291	  + alloc_entry.c, add a check for a null-pointer.
1292	  + parse_entry.c, add several checks for valid pointers as well as
1293	    one check to ensure that a single character on a line is not
1294	    treated as the 2-character termcap short-name.
1295	+ fix a memory leak in delscreen() (report by Bai Junq).
1296	+ improve tracemunch, showing thread identifiers as names.
1297	+ fix a use-after-free in NCursesMenu::~NCursesMenu()
1298	+ further amend incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
1299	  (report by Allen Hewes).
1300
130120170624
1302	+ modify c++/etip.h.in to accommodate deprecation of throw() and
1303	  throws() in c++17 (prompted by patch by Romain Geissler).
1304	+ remove some incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
1305	  (report by Allen Hewes).
1306	+ add test-programs for termattrs and term_attrs.
1307	+ modify _nc_outc_wrapper to use the standard output if the screen was
1308	  not initialized, rather than returning an error.
1309	+ improve checks for low-level terminfo functions when the terminal
1310	  has not been initialized (Redhat #1345963).
1311	+ modify make_hash to allow building with address-sanitizer,
1312	  assuming that --disable-leaks is configured.
1313	+ amend changes for number_format() in 20170506 to avoid undefined
1314	  behavior when shifting (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
1315
131620170617
1317	+ fill in some places where TERMTYPE2 vs TERMTYPE was not used
1318	  (report by Allen Hewes).
1319	+ use ExitTerminfo() internally in error-exits for ncurses' setupterm
1320	  to help with leak checking.
1321	+ use ExitProgram() in error-exit from initscr() to help with leak
1322	  checking.
1323	+ review test-programs, adding checks for cases where the terminal
1324	  cannot be initialized.
1325
132620170610
1327	+ add option "-xp" to picsmap.c, to use init_extended_pair().
1328	+ make simple performance fixes for picsmap.c
1329	+ improve aspect ratio of images read from "convert" in picsmap.c
1330
133120170603
1332	+ add option to picsmap to use color-palette files, e.g., for mapping
1333	  to xterm-256color.
1334	+ move the data in SCREEN used for the alloc_pair() function to the
1335	  end, to restore compatibility between ncurses/ncursesw libtinfo
1336	  (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
1337	+ add build-time utility "report_offsets" to help show when the various
1338	  configurations of tinfo library are compatible or not.
1339
134020170527
1341	+ improved test/picsmap.c:
1342	  + lookup named colors for xpm files in rgb.txt
1343	  + accept blanks in color-keys for xpm files.
1344	  + if neither xbm/xpm work, try "convert", which may be available.
1345
134620170520
1347	+ modify test/picsmap.c to read xpm files.
1348	+ modify package/debian/* to create documentation packages, so the
1349	  related files can be checked with lintian.
1350	+ fix some typos in manpages (report/patch by Sven Joachim).
1351
135220170513
1353	+ add test/picsmap.c to fill in some testing issues not met by dots.
1354	  The initial version reads X bitmap (".xbm") files.
1355	+ repair logic which forces a repaint where a color-pair's content is
1356	  changed (cf: 20170311).
1357	+ improve tracemunch, showing screenXX pointers as names.
1358
135920170506
1360	+ modify tic/infocmp display of numeric values to use hexadecimal when
1361	  they are "close" to a power of two, making the result more readable.
1362	+ improve discussion of portability in curs_mouse.3x
1363	+ change line-length for generated html/manpages to 78 columns from 65.
1364	+ improve discussion of line-drawing characters in curs_add_wch.3x
1365	  (prompted by discussion with Lorinczy Zsigmond).
1366	+ cleanup formatting of hackguide.html and ncurses-intro.html
1367	+ add examples for WACS_D_PLUS and WACS_T_PLUS to test/ncurses.c
1368
136920170429
1370	+ corrected a case where $with_gpm was set to "maybe" after CF_WITH_GPM,
1371	  overlooked in 20160528 fixes (report by Alexandre Bury).
1372	+ improve a couple of test-program's help-messages.
1373	+ corrected loop in rain.c from 20170415 changes.
1374	+ modify winnstr and winchnstr to return error if the output pointer is
1375	  null, as well as adding a null pointer check of the window pointer
1376	  for better compatibility with other implementations.
1377	+ improve discussion of NetBSD curses in scr_dump.5
1378	+ modify LIMIT_TYPED macro in new_pair.h to avoid changing sign of the
1379	  value to be limited (reports by Darby Payne, Rob Boudreau).
1380	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
1381		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
1382
138320170422
1384	+ build-fix for termcap-configuration (report by Chi-Hsuan Yen).
1385	+ improve terminfo manual page discussion of control- and graphics-
1386	  characters.
1387	+ remove tic warning about "^?" in string capabilities, which was
1388	  marked as an extension (cf: 20000610, 20110820); however all Unix
1389	  implementations support this and X/Open Curses does not address it.
1390	  On the other hand, termcap never did support this feature.
1391	+ correct missing comma-separator between string capabilities in
1392	  icl6402 and m2-nam -TD
1393	+ restore rmir/smir in ansi+idc to better match original ansiterm+idc,
1394	  add alias ansiterm (report by Robert King).
1395	+ amend an old check for ambiguous use of "ma" in terminfo versus
1396	  a termcap use, if the capability is cancelled to treat it as number.
1397	+ correct a case in _nc_captoinfo() which read "%%" and emitted "%".
1398	+ modify sscanf calls in _nc_infotocap() for patterns "%{number}%+%c"
1399	  and "%'char'%+%c" to check that the final character is really 'c',
1400	  avoiding a case in icl6404 which cannot be converted to termcap.
1401	+ in _nc_infotocap(), add a check to ensure that terminfo "^?" is not
1402	  written to termcap, because the BSDs did not implement that.
1403	+ in _nc_tic_expand() and _nc_infotocap(), improve string-length check
1404	  when deciding whether to use "^X" or "\xxx" format for control
1405	  characters, to make the output of tic/infocmp more predictable.
1406	+ limit termcap "%d" width to 2 digits on input, and use "%2" in
1407	  preference to "%02" on output.
1408	+ correct terminfo/termcap conversion of "%02" and "%03" into "%2" and
1409	  "%3"; the result repeated the last character.
1410	+ add man/scr_dump.5 to document screen-dump format.
1411
141220170415
1413	+ modify several test programs to use new popup_msgs, adapted from
1414	  help-screen used in test/edit_field.c
1415	+ drop two symbols obsoleted in 2004: _nc_check_termtype, and
1416	  _nc_resolve_uses
1417	+ fix some old copyright dates (cf: 20031025).
1418	+ build-fixes for test/savescreen.c to work with AIX and HPUX.
1419	+ minor fix to configure script, adding a backslash/continuation.
1420	+ extend TERMINAL structure for ABI 6 to store numbers internally as
1421	  integers rather than short, by adding new data for this purpose.
1422	+ more fixes for minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
1423
142420170408
1425	+ change logic in wins_nwstr() to avoid addressing data past the output
1426	  of mbstowcs().
1427	+ correct a call to setcchar() in Data_Entry_w() from 20131207 changes.
1428	+ fix minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
1429	+ further improve ifdef in term_entry.h for internal definitions not
1430	  used by tack.
1431
143220170401
1433	+ minor fixes for vt100+4bsd, e.g., delay in sgr for consistency -TD
1434	+ add smso for env230, to match sgr -TD
1435	+ remove p7/protect from sgr in fbterm -TD
1436	+ drop setf/setb from fbterm; setaf/setab are enough -TD
1437	+ make xterm-pcolor sgr consistent with other capabilities -TD
1438	+ add rmxx/smxx ECMA-48 strikeout extension to tmux and xterm-basic
1439	  (discussion with Nicholas Marriott)
1440	+ add test-programs sp_tinfo and extended_color
1441	+ modify no-leaks code for lib_cur_term.c to account for the tgetent()
1442	  cache.
1443	+ modify setupterm() to save original tty-modes so that erasechar()
1444	  works as expected.  Also modify _nc_setupscreen() to avoid redundant
1445	  calls to get original tty-modes.
1446	+ modify set_curterm() to update ttytype[] data used by longname().
1447	+ modify wattr_set() and wattr_get() to return ERR if win-parameter is
1448	  null, as documented.
1449	+ improve cast used for null-pointer checks in header macros, to
1450	  reduce compiler warnings.
1451	+ modify several functions, using the reserved "opts" parameter to pass
1452	  color- and pair-values larger than 16-bits:
1453	  + getcchar(), setcchar(), slk_attr_set(), vid_puts(), wattr_get(),
1454	    wattr_set(), wchgat(), wcolor_set().
1455	  + Other functions call these with the corresponding altered behavior,
1456	    including chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat(), slk_color_on(),
1457	    slk_color_off(), vid_attr().
1458	+ add new functions for manipulating color- and pair-values larger
1459	  than 16-bits.  These are extended_color_content(),
1460	  extended_pair_content(), extended_slk_color(), init_extended_color(),
1461	  init_extended_pair(), and the corresponding sp-funcs.
1462
146320170325
1464	+ fix a memory leak in the window-list when creating multiple screens
1465	  (reports by Andres Martinelli, Debian #783486).
1466	+ reviewed calls from link_test.c, added a few more null-pointer
1467	  checks.
1468	+ add a null-pointer check in ungetmouse, in case mousemask was not
1469	  called (report by "Kau").
1470	+ updated curs_sp_funcs.3x for new functions.
1471
147220170318
1473	+ change TERMINAL structure in term.h to make it opaque.  Some
1474	  applications misuse its members, e.g., directly modifying it
1475	  rather than using def_prog_mode().
1476	+ modify utility headers such as tic.h to make it clearer which are
1477	  externals that are used by tack.
1478	+ improve curs_slk.3x in particular its discussion of portability.
1479	+ fix cut/paste in legacy_encoding.3x
1480	+ add prototype for find_pair() to new_pair.3x (report by Branden
1481	  Robinson).
1482	+ fix a couple of broken links in generated man-html documentation.
1483	+ regenerate man-html documentation.
1484
148520170311
1486	+ modify vt100 rs2 string to reset vt52 mode and scrolling regions
1487	  (report/analysis by Robert King) -TD
1488	+ add vt100+4bsd building block, use that for older terminals rather
1489	  than "vt100" which is now mostly used as a building block for
1490	  terminal emulators -TD
1491	+ correct a few spelling errors in terminfo.src comments -TD
1492	+ add fbterm -TD
1493	+ fix a typo in ncurses.c test_attr legend (patch by Petr Vanek).
1494	+ changed internal colorpair_t to a struct, eliminating an internal
1495	  8-bit limit on colors
1496	+ add ncurses/new_pair.h
1497	+ add ncurses/base/new_pair.c with alloc_pair(), find_pair() and
1498	  free_pair() functions
1499	+ add test/demo_new_pair.c
1500
150120170304
1502	+ improve terminfo manual description of terminfo syntax.
1503	+ clarify the use of wint_t vs wchar_t in curs_get_wstr.3x
1504	+ improve description of endwin() in manual.
1505	+ modify setcchar() and getcchar() to treat negative color-pair as an
1506	  error.
1507	+ fix a typo in include/hashed_db.h (Andre Sa).
1508
150920170225
1510	+ fixes for CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS (report by Ross Burton).
1511
151220170218
1513	+ fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
1514	+ correct read of terminfo entry in which all strings are absent or
1515	  explicitly cancelled.  Before this fix, the result was that all were
1516	  treated as only absent.
1517	+ modify infocmp to suppress mixture of absent/cancelled capabilities
1518	  that would only show as "NULL, NULL", unless the -q option is used,
1519	  e.g., to show "-, @" or "@, -".
1520
152120170212
1522	+ build-fixes for PGI compilers (report by Adam J. Stewart)
1523	  + accept whitespace in sed expression for generating expanded.c
1524	  + modify configure check that g++ compiler warnings are not used.
1525	  + add configure check for -fPIC option needed for shared libraries.
1526	+ let configure --disable-ext-funcs override the default for the
1527	  --enable-sp-funcs option.
1528	+ mark some structs in form/menu/panel libraries as potentially opaque
1529	  without modifying API/ABI.
1530	+ add configure option --enable-opaque-curses for ncurses library and
1531	  similar options for the other libraries.
1532
153320170204
1534	+ trim newlines, tabs and escaped newlines from terminfo "paths" passed
1535	  to db-iterator.
1536	+ ignore zero-length files in db-iterator; these are useful for
1537	  instance to suppress "$HOME/.terminfo" when not wanted.
1538	+ amended "b64:" encoder to work with the terminfo reader.
1539	+ modify terminfo reader to accept "b64:" format using RFC-3548 in
1540	  as well as RFC-4648 url/filename-safe format.
1541	+ modify terminfo reader to accept "hex:" format as generated by
1542	  "infocmp -0qQ1" (cf: 20150905).
1543	+ adjust authors comment to reflect drop below 1% for SV.
1544
154520170128
1546	+ minor comment-fixes to help automate links to bug-urls -TD
1547	+ add dvtm, dvtm-256color -TD
1548	+ add settings corresponding to xterm-keys option to tmux entry to
1549	  reflect upcoming change to make that option "on" by default
1550	  (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
1551	+ uncancel Ms in tmux entry (Harry Gindi, Nicholas Marriott).
1552	+ add dumb-emacs-ansi -TD
1553
155420170121
1555	+ improve discussion of early history of tput program.
1556	+ incorporate A_COLOR mask into COLOR_PAIR(), in case user application
1557	  provides an out-of-range pair number (report by Elijah Stone).
1558	+ clarify description in tput manual page regarding support for
1559	  termcap names (prompted by FreeBSD #214709).
1560	+ remove a restriction in tput's support for termcap names which
1561	  omitted capabilities normally not shown in termcap translations
1562	  (cf: 990123).
1563	+ modify configure script for clang as used on FreeBSD, to work around
1564	  clang's differences in exit codes vs gcc.
1565
156620170114
1567	+ improve discussion of early history of tset/reset programs.
1568	+ clarify in manual pages that the optional verbose option level is
1569	  available only when ncurses is configured for tracing.
1570	+ amend change from 20161231 to avoid writing traces to the standard
1571	  error after initializing the trace feature using the environment
1572	  variable.
1573
157420170107
1575	+ amend changes for tput to reset tty modes to "sane" if the program
1576	  is run as "reset", like tset.  Likewise, ensure that tset sends
1577	  either reset- or init-strings.
1578	+ improve manual page descriptions of tput init/reset and tset/reset,
1579	  to make it easier to see how they are similar and different.
1580	+ move a static result from key_name() to _nc_globals
1581	+ modify _nc_get_screensize to allow for use_env() and use_tioctl()
1582	  state to be per-screen when sp-funcs are configured, better matching
1583	  the behavior when using the term-driver configuration.
1584	+ improve cross-references in manual pages for often used functions
1585	+ move SCREEN field for use_tioctl() data before the ncursesw fields,
1586	  and limit that to the sp-funcs configuration to improve termlib
1587	  compatibility (cf:  20120714).
1588	+ correct order of initialization for traces in use_env() and
1589	  use_tioctl() versus first trace calls.
1590
159120161231
1592	+ fix errata for ncurses-howto (report by Damien Ruscoe).
1593	+ fix a few places in configure/build scripts where DESTDIR and rpath
1594	  were combined (report by Thomas Klausner).
1595	+ merge current st description (report by Harry Gindi) -TD
1596	+ modify flash capability for linux and wyse entries to put the delay
1597	  between the reverse/normal escapes rather than after -TD
1598	+ modify program tabs to pass the actual tty file descriptor to
1599	  setupterm rather than the standard output, making padding work
1600	  consistently.
1601	+ explain in clear's manual page that it writes to stdout.
1602	+ add special case for verbose debugging traces of command-line
1603	  utilities which write to stderr (cf: 20161126).
1604	+ remove a trace with literal escapes from skip_DECSCNM(), added in
1605	  20161203.
1606	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
1607		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
1608
160920161224
1610	+ correct parameters for copywin call in _nc_Synchronize_Attributes()
1611	  (patch by Leon Winter).
1612	+ improve color-handling section in terminfo manual page (prompted by
1613	  patch by Mihail Konev).
1614	+ modify programs clear, tput and tset to pass the actual tty file
1615	  descriptor to setupterm rather than the standard output, making
1616	  padding work.
1617
161820161217
1619	+ add tput-colorcube demo script.
1620	+ add -r and -s options to tput-initc demo, to match usage in xterm.
1621	+ flush the standard output in _nc_flush for the case where SP is zero,
1622	  e.g., when called via putp.  This fixes a scenario where "tput flash"
1623	  did not work after changes in 20130112.
1624
162520161210
1626	+ add configure script option --disable-wattr-macros for use in cases
1627	  where one wants to use the same headers for ncurses5/ncurses6
1628	  development, by suppressing the wattr* macros which differ due to
1629	  the introduction of extended colors (prompted by comments in
1630	  Debian #230990, Redhat #1270534).
1631	+ add test/tput-initc to demonstrate tput used to initialize palette
1632	  from a data file.
1633	+ modify test/xterm*.dat to use the newer color4/color12 values.
1634
163520161203
1636	+ improve discussion of field validation in form_driver.3x manual page.
1637	+ update curs_trace.3x manual page.
1638
163920161126
1640	+ modify linux-16color to not mask dim, standout or reverse with the
1641	  ncv capability -TD
1642	+ add 0.1sec mandatory delay to flash capabilities using the VT100
1643	  reverse-video control -TD
1644	+ omit selection of ISO-8859-1 for G0 in enacs capability from linux2.6
1645	  entry, to avoid conflict with the user-defined mapping.  The reset
1646	  feature will use ISO-8859-1 in any case (Mikulas Patocka).
1647	+ improve check in tic for delays by also warning about beep/flash
1648	  when a delay is not embedded, or if those use the VT100 reverse
1649	  video escape without using a delay.
1650	+ minor fix for syntax-check of delays from 20161119 changes.
1651	+ modify trace() to avoid overwriting existing file (report by Maor
1652	  Shwartz).
1653
165420161119
1655	+ add check in tic for some syntax errors of delays, as well as use of
1656	  proportional delays for non-line capabilities.
1657	+ document history of the clear program and the E3 extension, prompted
1658	  by various discussions including
1659	  http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/87469/clearing-the-old-scrollback-buffer
1660
166120161112
1662	+ improve -W option in tic/infocmp:
1663	  + correct order of size-adjustments in wrapped lines
1664	  + if -f option splits line, do not further split it with -W
1665	  + begin a new line when adding "use=" after a wrapped line
1666
166720161105
1668	+ fix typo in man/terminfo.tail (Alain Williams).
1669	+ correct program-name in adacurses6-config.1 manual page.
1670
167120161029
1672	+ add new function "unfocus_current_field" (Leon Winter)
1673
167420161022
1675	+ modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the
1676	  screensize if it was already set in the system, to improve tabstop
1677	  setting which relies upon knowing the actual screensize.
1678	+ add functionality of tset -w to tput, like the "-c" feature this is
1679	  not optional in tput.
1680	+ add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput.
1681	+ improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow
1682	  for transformed names.
1683	+ split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with
1684	  tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.
1685
168620161015
1687	+ amend internal use of tputs to consistently use the number of lines
1688	  affected, e.g., for insert/delete character operations.  While
1689	  merging terminfo source early in 1995, several descriptions used the
1690	  "*" proportional delay for these operations, prompting a change in
1691	  doupdate.
1692	+ regenerate llib-* files.
1693	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
1694	+ fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
1695
169620161008
1697	+ adjust size in infocmp/tic to work with strlcpy.
1698	+ fix configure script to record when strlcat is found on OpenBSD.
1699	+ build-fix for "recent" OpenBSD vs baudrate.
1700
170120161001
1702	+ add -W option to tic/infocmp to force long strings to wrap.  This is
1703	  in addition to the -w option which attempts to fit capabilities into
1704	  a given line-length.
1705	+ add linux-m1 minitel entries (patch by Alexandre Montaron).
1706	+ correct rs2 string for vt100-nam -TD
1707
170820160924
1709	+ modify _nc_tic_expand to escape comma if it immediately follows a
1710	  percent sign, to work with minitel change.
1711	+ updated minitel and viewdata descriptions (Alexandre Montaron).
1712
171320160917
1714	+ build-fix for gnat6, which unhelpfully attempts to compile C files.
1715	+ fix typo in 20160910 changes (Debian #837892, patch by Sven Joachim).
1716
171720160910
1718	+ trim dead code ifdef'd with HIDE_EINTR since 970830 (discussion with
1719	  Leon Winter).
1720	+ trim some obsolete/incorrect wording about EINTR from wgetch manual
1721	  page (patch by Leon Winter).
1722	+ really correct 20100515 change (patch by Rich Coe).
1723	+ add "--enable-string-hacks" option to test/configure
1724	+ completed string-hacks for "sprintf", etc., including test-programs.
1725	+ make "--enable-string-hacks" work with Debian by checking for the
1726	  "bsd" library and its associated "<bsd/string.h>" header.
1727
172820160903
1729	+ correct 20100515 change for weak signals versus sigprocmask (report
1730	  by Rich Coe).
1731	+ modify misc/Makefile.in to work around OpenBSD "make" which unlike
1732	  all other versions of "make" does not recognize continuation lines
1733	  of comments.
1734	+ amend the last change to CF_C_ENV_FLAGS to move only the
1735	  preprocessor, optimization and warning flags to CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS,
1736	  leaving the residue in CC.  That happens to work for gcc's various
1737	  "model" options, but may require tuning for other compilers (report
1738	  by Sven Joachim).
1739
174020160827
1741	+ add "v" menu entry to test/ncurses.c to show baudrate and other
1742	  values.
1743	+ add "newer" baudrate symbols from Linux and FreeBSD to progs/tset.c,
1744	  lib_baudrate.c
1745	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro:
1746	  + add "uclinux" to case for "linux" (patch by Yann E. Morin)
1747	  + modify _GNU_SOURCE for cygwin headers, tested with cygwin 2.3, 2.5
1748	    (patch by Corinna Vinschen, from changes to tin).
1749	+ improve CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS macro to allow for compiler wrappers such
1750	  as "ccache" (report by Enrico Scholz).
1751	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
1752		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
1753
175420160820
1755	+ update tput manual page to reflect changes to manipulate terminal
1756	  modes by sharing functions with tset.
1757	+ add the terminal-mode parts of "reset" (aka tset) to the "tput reset"
1758	  command, making the two almost the same except for window-size.
1759	+ adapt logic used in dialog "--keep-tite" option for test/filter.c as
1760	  "-a" option.  When set, test/filter attempts to suppress the
1761	  alternate screen.
1762	+ correct a typo in interix entry -TD
1763
176420160813
1765	+ add a dependency upon generated-sources in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to
1766	  handle a case of "configure && make install".
1767	+ trim trailing blanks from include/Caps*, to work around a problem
1768	  in sed (Debian #818067).
1769
177020160806
1771	+ improve CF_GNU_SOURCE configure macro to optionally define
1772	  _DEFAULT_SOURCE work around a nuisance in recent glibc releases.
1773	+ move the terminfo-specific parts of tput's "reset" function into
1774	  the shared reset_cmd.c, making the two forms of reset use the same
1775	  strings.
1776	+ split-out the terminal initialization functions from tset as
1777	  progs/reset_cmd.c, as part of changes to merge the reset-feature
1778	  with tput.
1779
178020160730
1781	+ change tset's initialization to allow it to get settings from the
1782	  standard input as well as /dev/tty, to be more effective when
1783	  output or error are redirected.
1784	+ improve discussion of history and portability for tset/reset/tput
1785	  manual pages.
1786
178720160723
1788	+ improve error message from tset/reset when both stderr/stdout are
1789	  redirected to a file or pipe.
1790	+ improve organization of curs_attr.3x, curs_color.3x
1791
179220160709
1793	+ work around Debian's antique/unmaintained version of mawk when
1794	  building link_test.
1795	+ improve test/list_keys.c, showing ncurses's convention of modifiers
1796	  for special keys, based on xterm.
1797
179820160702
1799	+ improve test/list_keys.c, using $TERM if no parameters are given.
1800
180120160625
1802	+ build-fixes for ncurses "test_progs" rule.
1803	+ amend change to CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS in 20160521 to make multilib build
1804	  work (report by Sven Joachim).
1805
180620160618
1807	+ build-fixes for ncurses-examples with NetBSD curses.
1808	+ improve test/list_keys.c, fixing column-widths and sorting the list
1809	  to make it more readable.
1810
181120160611
1812	+ revise fix for Debian #805618 (report by Vlado Potisk, cf: 20151128).
1813	+ modify test/ncurses.c a/A screens to make exiting on an escape
1814	  character depend on the start of keypad and timeout modes, to allow
1815	  better testing of function-keys.
1816	+ modify rs1 for xterm-16color, xterm-88color and xterm-256color to
1817	  reset palette using "oc" string as in linux -TD
1818	+ use ANSI reply for u8 in xterm-new, to reflect vt220-style responses
1819	  that could be returned -TD
1820	+ added a few capabilities fixed in recent vte -TD
1821
182220160604
1823	+ correct logic for -f option in test/demo_terminfo.c
1824	+ add test/list_keys.c
1825
182620160528
1827	+ further workaround for PIE/PIC breakage which causes gpm to not link.
1828	+ fix most cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses library.
1829
183020160521
1831	+ improved manual page description of tset/reset versus window-size.
1832	+ fixes to work with a slightly broken compiler configuration which
1833	  cannot compile "Hello World!" without adding compiler options
1834	  (report by Ola x Nilsson):
1835	  + pass appropriate compiler options to the CF_PROG_CC_C_O macro.
1836	  + when separating compiler and options in CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS, ensure
1837	    that all options are split-off into CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS
1838	  + restore some -I options removed in 20140726 because they appeared
1839	    to be redundant.  In fact, they are needed for a compiler that
1840	    cannot combine -c and -o options.
1841
184220160514
1843	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
1844	+ improve manual pages for wgetch and wget_wch to point out that they
1845	  might return values without names in curses.h (Debian #822426).
1846	+ make linux3.0 entry the default linux entry (Debian #823658) -TD
1847	+ modify linux2.6 entry to improve line-drawing so that the linux3.0
1848	  entry can be used in non-UTF-8 mode -TD
1849	+ document return value of use_extended_names (report by Mike Gran).
1850
185120160507
1852	+ amend change to _nc_do_color to restore the early return for the
1853	  special case used in _nc_screen_wrap (report by Dick Streefland,
1854	  cf: 20151017).
1855	+ modify test/ncurses.c:
1856	  + check return-value of putwin
1857	  + correct ifdef which made the 'g' test's legend not reflect changes
1858	    to keypad- and scroll-modes.
1859	+ correct return-value of extended putwin (report by Mike Gran).
1860
186120160423
1862	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'd' edit-color menu to optionally read xterm
1863	  color palette directly from terminal, as well as handling KEY_RESIZE
1864	  and screen-repainting with control/L and control/R.
1865	+ add 'oc' capability to xterm+256color, allowing palette reset for
1866	  xterm -TD
1867
186820160416
1869	+ add workaround in configure script for inept transition to PIE vs
1870	  PIC builds documented in
1871		  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Harden_All_Packages
1872	+ add "reset" to list of programs whose names might change in manpages
1873	  due to program-transformation configure options.
1874	+ drop long-obsolete "-n" option from tset.
1875
187620160409
1877	+ modify test/blue.c to use Unicode values for card-glyphs when
1878	  available, as well as improving the check for CP437 and CP850.
1879
188020160402
1881	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
1882	+ improve manual pages for utilities with respect to POSIX versus
1883	  X/Open Curses.
1884
188520160326
1886	+ regenerate HTML manpages.
1887	+ improve test/demo_menus.c, allowing mouse-click on the menu-headers
1888	  to switch the active menu.  This requires a new extension option
1889	  O_MOUSE_MENU to tell the menu driver to put mouse events which do not
1890	  apply to the active menu back into the queue so that the application
1891	  can handle the event.
1892
189320160319
1894	+ improve description of tgoto parameters (report by Steffen Nurpmeso).
1895	+ amend workaround for Solaris line-drawing to restore a special case
1896	  that maps Unicode line-drawing characters into the acsc string for
1897	  non-Unicode locales (Debian #816888).
1898
189920160312
1900	+ modified test/filter.c to illustrate an alternative to getnstr, that
1901	  polls for input while updating a clock on the right margin as well
1902	  as responding to window size-changes.
1903
190420160305
1905	+ omit a redefinition of "inline" when traces are enabled, since this
1906	  does not work with gcc 5.3.x MinGW cross-compiling (cf: 20150912).
1907
190820160220
1909	+ modify test/configure script to check for pthread dependency of
1910	  ncursest or ncursestw library when building ncurses examples, e.g.,
1911	  in case weak symbols are used.
1912	+ modify configure macro for shared-library rules to use -Wl,-rpath
1913	  rather than -rpath to work around a bug in scons (FreeBSD #178732,
1914	  cf: 20061021).
1915	+ double-width multibyte characters were not counted properly in
1916	  winsnstr and wins_nwstr (report/example by Eric Pruitt).
1917	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
1918		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
1919
192020160213
1921	+ amend fix for _nc_ripoffline from 20091031 to make test/ditto.c work
1922	  in threaded configuration.
1923	+ move _nc_tracebits, _tracedump and _tracemouse to curses.priv.h,
1924	  since they are not part of the suggested ABI6.
1925
192620160206
1927	+ define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN for MinGW port, making builds faster.
1928	+ modify test/ditto.c to allow $XTERM_PROG environment variable to
1929	  override "xterm" as the name of the program to run in the threaded
1930	  configuration.
1931
193220160130
1933	+ improve formatting of man/curs_refresh.3x and man/tset.1 manpages
1934	+ regenerate HTML manpages using newer man2html to eliminate some
1935	  unwanted blank lines.
1936
193720160123
1938	+ ifdef'd header-file definition of mouse_trafo() with NCURSES_NOMACROS
1939	  (report by Corey Minyard).
1940	+ fix some strict compiler-warnings in traces.
1941
194220160116
1943	+ tidy up comments about hardcoded 256color palette (report by
1944	  Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
1945	+ add putty-noapp entry, and amend putty entry to use application mode
1946	  for better consistency with xterm (report by Leonardo Brondani
1947	  Schenkel) -TD
1948	+ modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to trace wide-characters
1949	  as a whole rather than their multibyte equivalents.
1950	+ minor fix in wadd_wchnstr() to ensure that each cell has nonzero
1951	  width.
1952	+ move PUTC_INIT calls next to wcrtomb calls, to avoid carry-over of
1953	  error status when processing Unicode values which are not mapped.
1954
195520160102
1956	+ modify ncurses c/C color test-screens to take advantage of wide
1957	  screens, reducing the number of lines used for 88- and 256-colors.
1958	+ minor refinement to check versus ncv to ignore two parameters of
1959	  SGR 38 and 48 when those come from color-capabilities.
1960
196120151226
1962	+ add check in tic for use of bold, etc., video attributes in the
1963	  color capabilities, accounting whether the feature is listed in ncv.
1964	+ add check in tic for conflict between ritm, rmso, rmul versus sgr0.
1965
196620151219
1967	+ add a paragraph to curs_getch.3x discussing key naming (discussion
1968	  with James Crippen).
1969	+ amend workaround for Solaris vs line-drawing to take the configure
1970	  check into account.
1971	+ add a configure check for wcwidth() versus the ncurses line-drawing
1972	  characters, to use in special-casing systems such as Solaris.
1973
197420151212
1975	+ improve CF_XOPEN_CURSES macro used in test/configure, to define as
1976	  needed NCURSES_WIDECHAR for platforms where _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
1977	  does not work.  Also modified the test program to ensure that if
1978	  building with ncurses, that the cchar_t type is checked, since that
1979	  normally is since 20111030 ifdef'd depending on this test.
1980	+ improve 20121222 workaround for broken acs, letting Solaris "work"
1981	  in spite of its misconfigured wcwidth which marks all of the line
1982	  drawing characters as double-width.
1983
198420151205
1985	+ update form_cursor.3x, form_post.3x, menu_attributes.3x to list
1986	  function names in NAME section (patch by Jason McIntyre).
1987	+ minor fixes to manpage NAME/SYNOPSIS sections to consistently use
1988	  rule that either all functions which are prototyped in SYNOPSIS are
1989	  listed in the NAME section, or the manual-page name is the sole item
1990	  listed in the NAME section.  The latter is used to reduce clutter,
1991	  e.g., for the top-level library manual pages as well as for certain
1992	  feature-pages such as SP-funcs and threading (prompted by patches by
1993	  Jason McIntyre).
1994
199520151128
1996	+ add option to preserve leading whitespace in form fields (patch by
1997	  Leon Winter).
1998	+ add missing assignment in lib_getch.c to make notimeout() work
1999	  (Debian #805618).
2000	+ add 't' toggle for notimeout() function in test/ncurses.c a/A screens
2001	+ add viewdata terminal description (Alexandre Montaron).
2002	+ fix a case in tic/infocmp for formatting capabilities where a
2003	  backslash at the end of a string was mishandled.
2004	+ fix some typos in curs_inopts.3x (Benno Schulenberg).
2005
200620151121
2007	+ fix some inconsistencies in the pccon* entries -TD
2008	+ add bold to pccon+sgr+acs and pccon-base (Tati Chevron).
2009	+ add keys f12-f124 to pccon+keys (Tati Chevron).
2010	+ add test/test_sgr.c program to exercise all combinations of sgr.
2011
201220151107
2013	+ modify tset's assignment to TERM in its output to reflect the name by
2014	  which the terminal description is found, rather than the primary
2015	  name.  That was an unnecessary part from the initial conversion of
2016	  tset from termcap to terminfo.  The termcap program in 4.3BSD did
2017	  this to avoid using the short 2-character name (report by Rich
2018	  Burridge).
2019	+ minor fix to configure script to ensure that rules for resulting.map
2020	  are only generated when needed (cf: 20151101).
2021	+ modify configure script to handle the case where tic-library is
2022	  renamed, but the --with-debug option is used by itself without
2023	  normal or shared libraries (prompted by comment in Debian #803482).
2024
202520151101
2026	+ amend change for pkg-config which allows build of pc-files when no
2027	  valid pkg-config library directory was configured to suppress the
2028	  actual install if it is not overridden to a valid directory at
2029	  install time (cf: 20150822).
2030	+ modify editing script which generates resulting.map to work with the
2031	  clang configuration on recent FreeBSD, which gives an error on an
2032	  empty "local" section.
2033	+ fix a spurious "(Part)" message in test/ncurses.c b/B tests due
2034	  to incorrect attribute-masking.
2035
203620151024
2037	+ modify MKexpanded.sh to update the expansion of a temporary filename
2038	  to "expanded.c", for use in trace statements.
2039	+ modify layout of b/B tests in test/ncurses.c to allow for additional
2040	  annotation on the right margin; some terminals with partial support
2041	  did not display well.
2042	+ fix typo in curs_attr.3x (patch by Sven Joachim).
2043	+ fix typo in INSTALL (patch by Tomas Cech).
2044	+ improve configure check for setting WILDCARD_SYMS variable; on ppc64
2045	  the variable is in the Data section rather than Text (patch by Michel
2046	  Normand, Novell #946048).
2047	+ using configure option "--without-fallbacks" incorrectly caused
2048	  FALLBACK_LIST to be set to "no" (patch by Tomas Cech).
2049	+ updated minitel entries to fix kel problem with emacs, and add
2050	  minitel1b-nb (Alexandre Montaron).
2051	+ reviewed/updated nsterm entry Terminal.app in OSX -TD
2052	+ replace some dead URLs in comments with equivalents from the
2053	  Internet Archive -TD
2054	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2055		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
2056
205720151017
2058	+ modify ncurses/Makefile.in to sort keys.list in POSIX locale
2059	  (Debian #801864, patch by Esa Peuha).
2060	+ remove an early-return from _nc_do_color, which can interfere with
2061	  data needed by bkgd when ncurses is configured with extended colors
2062	  (patch by Denis Tikhomirov).
2063	> fixes for OS/2 (patches by KO Myung-Hun)
2064	+ use button instead of kbuf[0] in EMX-specific part of lib_mouse.c
2065	+ support building with libtool on OS/2
2066	+ use stdc++ on OS/2 kLIBC
2067	+ clear cf_XOPEN_SOURCE on OS/2
2068
206920151010
2070	+ add configure check for openpty to test/configure script, for ditto.
2071	+ minor fixes to test/view.c in investigating Debian #790847.
2072	+ update autoconf patch to 2.52.20150926, incorporates a fix for Cdk.
2073	+ add workaround for breakage of POSIX makefiles by recent binutils
2074	  change.
2075	+ improve check for working poll() by using posix_openpt() as a
2076	  fallback in case there is no valid terminal on the standard input
2077	  (prompted by discussion on bug-ncurses mailing list, Debian #676461).
2078
207920150926
2080	+ change makefile rule for removing resulting.map to distclean rather
2081	  than clean.
2082	+ add /lib/terminfo to terminfo-dirs in ".deb" test-package.
2083	+ add note on portability of resizeterm and wresize to manual pages.
2084
208520150919
2086	+ clarify in resizeterm.3x how KEY_RESIZE is pushed onto the input
2087	  stream.
2088	+ clarify in curs_getch.3x that the keypad mode affects ability to
2089	  read KEY_MOUSE codes, but does not affect KEY_RESIZE.
2090	+ add overlooked build-fix needed with Cygwin for separate Ada95
2091	  configure script, cf: 20150606 (report by Nicolas Boulenguez)
2092
209320150912
2094	+ fixes for configure/build using clang on OSX (prompted by report by
2095	  William Gallafent).
2096	  + do not redefine "inline" in ncurses_cfg.h; this was originally to
2097	    solve a problem with gcc/g++, but is aggravated by clang's misuse
2098	    of symbols to pretend it is gcc.
2099	  + add braces to configure script to prevent unwanted add of
2100	    "-lstdc++" to the CXXLIBS symbol.
2101	  + improve/update test-program used for checking existence of stdc++
2102	    library.
2103	  + if $CXXLIBS is set, the linkage test uses that in addition to $LIBS
2104
210520150905
2106	+ add note in curs_addch.3x about line-drawing when it depends upon
2107	  UTF-8.
2108	+ add tic -q option for consistency with infocmp, use it to suppress
2109	  all comments from the "tic -I" output.
2110	+ modify infocmp -q option to suppress the "Reconstructed from"
2111	  header.
2112	+ add infocmp/tic -Q option, which allows one to dump the compiled
2113	  form of the terminal entry, in hexadecimal or base64.
2114
211520150822
2116	+ sort options in usage message for infocmp, to make it simpler to
2117	  see unused letters.
2118	+ update usage message for tic, adding "-0" option.
2119	+ documented differences in ESCDELAY versus AIX's implementation.
2120	+ fix some compiler warnings from ports.
2121	+ modify --with-pkg-config-libdir option to make it possible to install
2122	  ".pc" files even if pkg-config is not found (adapted from patch by
2123	  Joshua Root).
2124
212520150815
2126	+ disallow "no" as a possible value for "--with-shlib-version" option,
2127	  overlooked in cleanup-changes for 20000708 (report by Tommy Alex).
2128	+ update release notes in INSTALL.
2129	+ regenerate llib-* files to help with review for release notes.
2130
213120150810
2132	+ workaround for Debian #65617, which was fixed in mawk's upstream
2133	  releases in 2009 (report by Sven Joachim).  See
2134	  	https://invisible-island.net/mawk/CHANGES.html#t20090727
2135
213620150808 6.0 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
2137
213820150808
2139	+ build-fix for Ada95 on older platforms without stdint.h
2140	+ build-fix for Solaris, whose /bin/sh and /usr/bin/sed are non-POSIX.
2141	+ update release announcement, summarizing more than 800 changes across
2142	  more than 200 snapshots.
2143	+ minor fixes to manpages, etc., to simplify linking from announcement
2144	  page.
2145
214620150725
2147	+ updated llib-* files.
2148	+ build-fixes for ncurses library "test_progs" rule.
2149	+ use alternate workaround for gcc 5.x feature (adapted from patch by
2150	  Mikhail Peselnik).
2151	+ add status line to tmux via xterm+sl (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
2152	+ fixes for st 0.5 from testing with tack -TD
2153	+ review/improve several manual pages to break up wall-of-text:
2154	  curs_add_wch.3x, curs_attr.3x, curs_bkgd.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x,
2155	  curs_getcchar.3x, curs_getch.3x, curs_kernel.3x, curs_mouse.3x,
2156	  curs_outopts.3x, curs_overlay.3x, curs_pad.3x, curs_termattrs.3x
2157	  curs_trace.3x, and curs_window.3x
2158
215920150719
2160	+ correct an old logic error for %A and %O in tparm (report by "zreed").
2161	+ improve documentation for signal handlers by adding section in the
2162	  curs_initscr.3x page.
2163	+ modify logic in make_keys.c to not assume anything about the size
2164	  of strnames and strfnames variables, since those may be functions
2165	  in the thread- or broken-linker configurations (problem found by
2166	  Coverity).
2167	+ modify test/configure script to check for pthreads configuration,
2168	  e.g., ncursestw library.
2169
217020150711
2171	+ modify scripts to build/use test-packages for the pthreads
2172	  configuration of ncurses6.
2173	+ add references to ttytype and termcap symbols in demo_terminfo.c and
2174	  demo_termcap.c to ensure that when building ncursest.map, etc., that
2175	  the corresponding names such as _nc_ttytype are added to the list of
2176	  versioned symbols (report by Werner Fink)
2177	+ fix regression from 20150704 (report/patch by Werner Fink).
2178
217920150704
2180	+ fix a few problems reported by Coverity.
2181	+ fix comparison against "/usr/include" in misc/gen-pkgconfig.in
2182	  (report by Daiki Ueno, Debian #790548, cf:  20141213).
2183
218420150627
2185	+ modify configure script to remove deprecated ABI 5 symbols when
2186	  building ABI 6.
2187	+ add symbols _nc_Default_Field, _nc_Default_Form, _nc_has_mouse to
2188	  map-files, but marked as deprecated so that they can easily be
2189	  suppressed from ABI 6 builds (Debian #788610).
2190	+ comment-out "screen.xterm" entry, and inherit screen.xterm-256color
2191	  from xterm-new (report by Richard Birkett) -TD
2192	+ modify read_entry.c to set the error-return to -1 if no terminal
2193	  databases were found, as documented for setupterm.
2194	+ add test_setupterm.c to demonstrate normal/error returns from the
2195	  setupterm and restartterm functions.
2196	+ amend cleanup change from 20110813 which removed redundant definition
2197	  of ret_error, etc., from tinfo_driver.c, to account for the fact that
2198	  it should return a bool rather than int (report/analysis by Johannes
2199	  Schindelin).
2200
220120150613
2202	+ fix overflow warning for OSX with lib_baudrate.c (cf: 20010630).
2203	+ modify script used to generate map/sym files to mark 5.9.20150530 as
2204	  the last "5.9" version, and regenerated the files.  That makes the
2205	  files not use ".current" for the post-5.9 symbols.  This also
2206	  corrects the label for _nc_sigprocmask used in when weak symbols are
2207	  configured for the ncursest/ncursestw libraries (prompted by
2208	  discussion with Sven Joachim).
2209	+ fix typo in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim).
2210
221120150606 pre-release
2212	+ make ABI 6 the default by updates to dist.mk and VERSION, with the
2213	  intention that the existing ABI 5 should build as before using the
2214	  "--with-abi-version=5" option.
2215	+ regenerate ada- and man-html documentation.
2216	+ minor fixes to color- and util-manpages.
2217	+ fix a regression in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, to handle special case of
2218	  Cygwin, which uses the broken-linker feature.
2219	+ amend fix for CF_NCURSES_CONFIG used in test/configure to assume that
2220	  ncurses package scripts work when present for cross-compiling, as the
2221	  lessor of two evils (cf: 20150530).
2222	+ add check in configure script to disallow conflicting options
2223	  "--with-termlib" and "--enable-term-driver".
2224	+ move defaults for "--disable-lp64" and "--with-versioned-syms" into
2225	  CF_ABI_DEFAULTS macro.
2226
222720150530
2228	+ change private type for Event_Mask in Ada95 binding to work when
2229	  mmask_t is set to 32-bits.
2230	+ remove spurious "%;" from st entry (report by Daniel Pitts) -TD
2231	+ add vte-2014, update vte to use that -TD
2232	+ modify tic and infocmp to "move" a diagnostic for tparm strings that
2233	  have a syntax error to tic's "-c" option (report by Daniel Pitts).
2234	+ fix two problems with configure script macros (Debian #786436,
2235	  cf: 20150425, cf: 20100529).
2236
223720150523
2238	+ add 'P' menu item to test/ncurses.c, to show pad in color.
2239	+ improve discussion in curs_color.3x about color rendering (prompted
2240	  by comment on Stack Overflow forum):
2241	+ remove screen-bce.mlterm, since mlterm does not do "bce" -TD
2242	+ add several screen.XXX entries to support the respective variations
2243	  for 256 colors -TD
2244	+ add putty+fnkeys* building-block entries -TD
2245	+ add smkx/rmkx to capabilities analyzed with infocmp "-i" option.
2246
224720150516
2248	+ amend change to ".pc" files to only use the extra loader flags which
2249	  may have rpath options (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20150502).
2250	+ change versioning for dpkg's in test-packages for Ada95 and
2251	  ncurses-examples for consistency with Debian, to work with package
2252	  updates.
2253	+ regenerate html manpages.
2254	+ clarify handling of carriage return in waddch manual page; it was
2255	  discussed only in the portability section (prompted by comment on
2256	  Stack Overflow forum):
2257
225820150509
2259	+ add test-packages for cross-compiling ncurses-examples using the
2260	  MinGW test-packages.  These are only the Debian packages; RPM later.
2261	+ cleanup format of debian/copyright files
2262	+ add pc-files to the MinGW cross-compiling test-packages.
2263	+ correct a couple of places in gen-pkgconfig.in to handle renaming of
2264	  the tinfo library.
2265
226620150502
2267	+ modify the configure script to allow different default values
2268	  for ABI 5 versus ABI 6.
2269	+ add wgetch-events to test-packages.
2270	+ add a note on how to build ncurses-examples to test/README.
2271	+ fix a memory leak in delscreen (report by Daniel Kahn Gillmor,
2272	  Debian #783486) -TD
2273	+ remove unnecessary ';' from E3 capabilities -TD
2274	+ add tmux entry, derived from screen (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
2275	+ split-out recent change to nsterm-bce as nsterm-build326, and add
2276	  nsterm-build342 to reflect changes with successive releases of OSX
2277	  (discussion with Leonardo B Schenkel)
2278	+ add xon, ich1, il1 to ibm3161 (patch by Stephen Powell, Debian
2279	  #783806)
2280	+ add sample "magic" file, to document ext-putwin.
2281	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to add explicit -ltinfo, etc., to the
2282	  generated ".pc" file when ld option "--as-needed" is used, or when
2283	  ncurses and tinfo are installed without using rpath (prompted by
2284	  discussion with Sylvain Bertrand).
2285	+ modify test-package for ncurses6 to omit rpath feature when installed
2286	  in /usr.
2287	+ add OSX's "*.dSYM" to clean-rules in makefiles.
2288	+ make extra-suffix work for OSX configuration, e.g., for shared
2289	  libraries.
2290	+ modify Ada95/configure script to work with pkg-config
2291	+ move test-package for ncurses6 to /usr, since filename-conflicts have
2292	  been eliminated.
2293	+ corrected build rules for Ada95/gen/generate; it does not depend on
2294	  the ncurses library aside from headers.
2295	+ reviewed man pages, fixed a few other spelling errors.
2296	+ fix a typo in curs_util.3x (Sven Joachim).
2297	+ use extra-suffix in some overlooked shared library dependencies
2298	  found by 20150425 changes for test-packages.
2299	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2300		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
2301
230220150425
2303	+ expanded description of tgetstr's area pointer in manual page
2304	  (report by Todd M Lewis).
2305	+ in-progress changes to modify test-packages to use ncursesw6 rather
2306	  than ncursesw, with updated configure scripts.
2307	+ modify CF_NCURSES_CONFIG in Ada95- and test-configure scripts to
2308	  check for ".pc" files via pkg-config, but add a linkage check since
2309	  frequently pkg-config configurations are broken.
2310	+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to include EXTRA_LDFLAGS, e.g., for the
2311	  rpath option.
2312	+ add 'dim' capability to screen entry (report by Leonardo B Schenkel)
2313	+ add several key definitions to nsterm-bce to match preconfigured
2314	  keys, e.g., with OSX 10.9 and 10.10 (report by Leonardo B Schenkel)
2315	+ fix repeated "extra-suffix" in ncurses-config.in (cf: 20150418).
2316	+ improve term_variables manual page, adding section on the terminfo
2317	  long-name symbols which are defined in the term.h header.
2318	+ fix bug in lib_tracebits.c introduced in const-fixes (cf: 20150404).
2319
232020150418
2321	+ avoid a blank line in output from tabs program by ending it with
2322	  a carriage return as done in FreeBSD (patch by James Clarke).
2323	+ build-fix for the "--enable-ext-putwin" feature when not using
2324	  wide characters (report by Werner Fink).
2325	+ modify autoconf macros to use scripting improvement from xterm.
2326	+ add -brtl option to compiler options on AIX 5-7, needed to link
2327	  with the shared libraries.
2328	+ add --with-extra-suffix option to help with installing nonconflicting
2329	  ncurses6 packages, e.g., avoiding header- and library-conflicts.
2330	  NOTE: as a side-effect, this renames
2331		  adacurses-config to adacurses5-config and
2332		  adacursesw-config to adacursesw5-config
2333	+ modify debian/rules test package to suffix programs with "6".
2334	+ clarify in curs_inopts.3x that window-specific settings do not
2335	  inherit into new windows.
2336
233720150404
2338	+ improve description of start_color() in the manual.
2339	+ modify several files in ncurses- and progs-directories to allow
2340	  const data used in internal tables to be put by the linker into the
2341	  readonly text segment.
2342
234320150329
2344	+ correct cut/paste error for "--enable-ext-putwin" that made it the
2345	  same as "--enable-ext-colors" (report by Roumen Petrov)
2346
234720150328
2348	+ add "-f" option to test/savescreen.c to help with testing/debugging
2349	  the extended putwin/getwin.
2350	+ add logic for writing/reading combining characters in the extended
2351	  putwin/getwin.
2352	+ add "--enable-ext-putwin" configure option to turn on the extended
2353	  putwin/getwin.
2354
235520150321
2356	+ in-progress changes to provide an extended version of putwin and
2357	  getwin which will be capable of reading screen-dumps between the
2358	  wide/normal ncurses configurations.  These are text files, except
2359	  for a magic code at the beginning:
2360	  0       string          \210\210        Screen-dump (ncurses)
2361
236220150307
2363	+ document limitations of getwin in manual page (prompted by discussion
2364	  with John S Urban).
2365	+ extend test/savescreen.c to demonstrate that color pair values
2366	  and graphic characters can be restored using getwin.
2367
236820150228
2369	+ modify win_driver.c to eliminate the constructor, to make it more
2370	  usable in an application which may/may not need the console window
2371	  (report by Grady Martin).
2372
237320150221
2374	+ capture define's related to -D_XOPEN_SOURCE from the configure check
2375	  and add those to the *-config and *.pc files, to simplify use for
2376	  the wide-character libraries.
2377	+ modify ncurses.spec to accommodate Fedora21's location of pkg-config
2378	  directory.
2379	+ correct sense of "--disable-lib-suffixes" configure option (report
2380	  by Nicolas Boos, cf: 20140426).
2381
238220150214
2383	+ regenerate html manpages using improved man2html from work on xterm.
2384	+ regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, accounting
2385	  for the "--enable-weak-symbols" configure option (report by Werner
2386	  Fink).
2387
238820150131
2389	+ regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, showing
2390	  the combinations of configure options used at each stage.
2391
239220150124
2393	+ add configure check to determine if "local: _*;" can be used in the
2394	  ".map" files to selectively omit symbols beginning with "_".  On at
2395	  least recent FreeBSD, the wildcard applies to all "_" symbols.
2396	+ remove obsolete/conflicting rule for ncurses.map from
2397	  ncurses/Makefile.in (cf:  20130706).
2398
239920150117
2400	+ improve description in INSTALL of the --with-versioned-syms option.
2401	+ add combination of --with-hashed-db and --with-ticlib to
2402	  configurations for ".map" files (report by Werner Fink).
2403
240420150110
2405	+ add a step to generating ".map" files, to declare any remaining
2406	  symbols beginning with "_" as local, at the last version node.
2407	+ improve configure checks for pkg-config, addressing a variant found
2408	  with FreeBSD ports.
2409	+ modify win_driver.c to provide characters for special keys, like
2410	  ansi.sys, when keypad mode is off, rather than returning nothing at
2411	  all (discussion with Eli Zaretskii).
2412	+ add "broken_linker" and "hashed-db" configure options to combinations
2413	  use for generating the ".map" and ".sym" files.
2414	+ avoid using "ld" directly when creating shared library, to simplify
2415	  cross-compiles.  Also drop "-Bsharable" option from shared-library
2416	  rules for FreeBSD and DragonFly (FreeBSD #196592).
2417	+ fix a memory leak in form library Free_RegularExpression_Type()
2418	  (report by Pavel Balaev).
2419
242020150103
2421	+ modify_nc_flush() to retry if interrupted (patch by Stian Skjelstad).
2422	+ change map files to make _nc_freeall a global, since it may be used
2423	  via the Ada95 binding when checking for memory leaks.
2424	+ improve sed script used in 20141220 to account for wide-, threaded-
2425	  variations in ABI 6.
2426
242720141227
2428	+ regenerate ".map" files, using step overlooked in 20141213 to use
2429	  the same patch-dates across each file to match ncurses.map (report by
2430	  Sven Joachim).
2431
243220141221
2433	+ fix an incorrect variable assignment in 20141220 changes (report by
2434	  Sven Joachim).
2435
243620141220
2437	+ updated Ada95/configure with macro changes from 20141213
2438	+ tie configure options --with-abi-version and --with-versioned-syms
2439	  together, so that ABI 6 libraries have distinct symbol versions from
2440	  the ABI 5 libraries.
2441	+ replace obsolete/nonworking link to man2html with current one,
2442	  regenerate html-manpages.
2443
244420141213
2445	+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to add -I option for include-directory
2446	  when using both --prefix and --disable-overwrite (report by Misty
2447	  De Meo).
2448	+ add configure option --with-pc-suffix to allow minor renaming of
2449	  ".pc" files and the corresponding library.  Use this in the test
2450	  package for ncurses6.
2451	+ modify configure script so that if pkg-config is not installed, it
2452	  is still possible to install ".pc" files (report by Misty De Meo).
2453	+ updated ".sym" files, removing symbols which are marked as "local"
2454	  in the corresponding ".map" files.
2455	+ updated ".map" files to reflect move of comp_captab and comp_hash
2456	  from tic-library to tinfo-library in 20090711 (report by Sven
2457	  Joachim).
2458
245920141206
2460	+ updated ".map" files so that each symbol that may be shared across
2461	  the different library configurations has the same label.  Some
2462	  review is needed to ensure these are really compatible.
2463	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to work around change in development version of
2464	  gcc introduced here:
2465		  https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-06/msg02185.html
2466		  https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-07/msg00236.html
2467	  (reports by Marcus Shawcroft, Maohui Lei).
2468	+ improved configure macro CF_SUBDIR_PATH, from lynx changes.
2469
247020141129
2471	+ improved ".map" files by generating them with a script that builds
2472	  ncurses with several related configurations and merges the results.
2473	  A further refinement is planned, to make the tic- and tinfo-library
2474	  symbols use the same versions across each of the four configurations
2475	  which are represented (reports by Sven Joachim, Werner Fink).
2476
247720141115
2478	+ improve description of limits for color values and color pairs in
2479	  curs_color.3x (prompted by patch by Tim van der Molen).
2480	+ add VERSION file, using first field in that to record the ABI version
2481	  used for configure --with-libtool --disable-libtool-version
2482	+ add configure options for applying the ".map" and ".sym" files to
2483	  the ncurses, form, menu and panel libraries.
2484	+ add ".map" and ".sym" files to show exported symbols, e.g., for
2485	  symbol-versioning.
2486
248720141101
2488	+ improve strict compiler-warnings by adding a cast in TRACE_RETURN
2489	  and making a new TRACE_RETURN1 macro for cases where the cast does
2490	  not apply.
2491
249220141025
2493	+ in-progress changes to integrate the win32 console driver with the
2494	  msys2 configuration.
2495
249620141018
2497	+ reviewed terminology 0.6.1, add function key definitions.  None of
2498	  the vt100-compatibility issues were improved -TD
2499	+ improve infocmp conversion of extended capabilities to termcap by
2500	  correcting the limit check against parametrized[], as well as filling
2501	  in a check if the string happens to have parameters, e.g., "xm"
2502	  in recent changes.
2503	+ add check for zero/negative dimensions for resizeterm and resize_term
2504	  (report by Mike Gran).
2505
250620141011
2507	+ add experimental support for xterm's 1005 mouse mode, to use in a
2508	  demonstration of its limitations.
2509	+ add experimental support for "%u" format to terminfo.
2510	+ modify test/ncurses.c to also show position reports in 'a' test.
2511	+ minor formatting fixes to _nc_trace_mmask_t, make this function
2512	  exported to help with debugging mouse changes.
2513	+ improve behavior of wheel-mice for xterm protocol, noting that there
2514	  are only button-presses for buttons "4" and "5", so there is no need
2515	  to wait to combine events into double-clicks (report/analysis by
2516	  Greg Field).
2517	+ provide examples xterm-1005 and xterm-1006 terminfo entries -TD
2518	+ implement decoder for xterm SGR 1006 mouse mode.
2519
252020140927
2521	+ implement curs_set in win_driver.c
2522	+ implement flash in win_driver.c
2523	+ fix an infinite loop in win_driver.c if the command-window loses
2524	  focus.
2525	+ improve the non-buffered mode, i.e., NCURSES_CONSOLE2, of
2526	  win_driver.c by temporarily changing the buffer-size to match the
2527	  window-size to eliminate the scrollback.  Also enforce a minimum
2528	  screen-size of 24x80 in the non-buffered mode.
2529	+ modify generated misc/Makefile to suppress install.data from the
2530	  dependencies if the --disable-db-install option is used, compensating
2531	  for the top-level makefile changes used to add ncurses*-config in the
2532	  20140920 changes (report by Steven Honeyman).
2533
253420140920
2535	+ add ncurses*-config to bin-directory of sample package-scripts.
2536	+ add check to ensure that getopt is available; this is a problem in
2537	  some older cross-compiler environments.
2538	+ expanded on the description of --disable-overwrite in INSTALL
2539	  (prompted by reports by Joakim Tjernlund, Thomas Klausner).
2540	  See Gentoo #522586 and NetBSD #49200 for examples.
2541	  which relates to the clarified guidelines.
2542	+ remove special logic from CF_INCLUDE_DIRS which adds the directory
2543	  for the --includedir from the build (report by Joakim Tjernlund).
2544	+ add case for Unixware to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, from lynx changes.
2545	+ update config.sub from
2546		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
2547
254820140913
2549	+ add a configure check to ignore some of the plethora of non-working
2550	  C++ cross-compilers.
2551	+ build-fixes for Ada95 with gnat 4.9
2552
255320140906
2554	+ build-fix and other improvements for port of ncurses-examples to
2555	  NetBSD.
2556	+ minor compiler-warning fixes.
2557
255820140831
2559	+ modify test/demo_termcap.c and test/demo_terminfo.c to make their
2560	  options more directly comparable, and add "-i" option to specify
2561	  a terminal description filename to parse for names to lookup.
2562
256320140823
2564	+ fix special case where double-width character overwrites a single-
2565	  width character in the first column (report by Egmont Koblinger,
2566	  cf: 20050813).
2567
256820140816
2569	+ fix colors in ncurses 'b' test which did not work after changing
2570	  it to put the test-strings in subwindows (cf: 20140705).
2571	+ merge redundant SEE-ALSO sections in form and menu manpages.
2572
257320140809
2574	+ modify declarations for user-data pointers in C++ binding to use
2575	  reinterpret_cast to facilitate converting typed pointers to void*
2576	  in user's application (patch by Adam Jiang).
2577	+ regenerated html manpages.
2578	+ add note regarding cause and effect for TERM in ncurses manpage,
2579	  having noted clueless verbiage in Terminal.app's "help" file
2580	  which reverses cause/effect.
2581	+ remove special fallback definition for NCURSES_ATTR_T, since macros
2582	  have resolved type-mismatches using casts (cf: 970412).
2583	+ fixes for win_driver.c:
2584	  + handle repainting on endwin/refresh combination.
2585	  + implement beep().
2586	  + minor cleanup.
2587
258820140802
2589	+ minor portability fixes for MinGW:
2590	  + ensure WINVER is defined in makefiles rather than using headers
2591	  + add check for gnatprep "-T" option
2592	  + work around bug introduced by gcc 4.8.1 in MinGW which breaks
2593	    "trace" feature:
2594	    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20877689/gcc-4-8-1-minggw-d-option-does-not-work-as-usual
2595	+ fix most compiler warnings for Cygwin ncurses-examples.
2596	+ restore "redundant" -I options in test/Makefile.in, since they are
2597	  typically needed when building the derived ncurses-examples package
2598	  (cf: 20140726).
2599
260020140726
2601	+ eliminate some redundant -I options used for building libraries, and
2602	  ensure that ${srcdir} is added to the include-options (prompted by
2603	  discussion with Paul Gilmartin).
2604	+ modify configure script to work with Minix3.2
2605	+ add form library extension O_DYNAMIC_JUSTIFY option which can be
2606	  used to override the different treatment of justification for static
2607	  versus dynamic fields (adapted from patch by Leon Winter).
2608	+ add a null pointer check in test/edit_field.c (report/analysis by
2609	  Leon Winter, cf: 20130608).
2610
261120140719
2612	+ make workarounds for compiling test-programs with NetBSD curses.
2613	+ improve configure macro CF_ADD_LIBS, to eliminate repeated -l/-L
2614	  options, from xterm changes.
2615
261620140712
2617	+ correct Charable() macro check for A_ALTCHARSET in wide-characters.
2618	+ build-fix for position-debug code in tty_update.c, to work with or
2619	  without sp-funcs.
2620
262120140705
2622	+ add w/W toggle to ncurses.c 'B' test, to demonstrate permutation of
2623	  video-attributes and colors with double-width character strings.
2624
262520140629
2626	+ correct check in win_driver.c for saving screen contents, e.g., when
2627	  NCURSES_CONSOLE2 is set (cf: 20140503).
2628	+ reorganize b/B menu items in ncurses.c, putting the test-strings into
2629	  subwindows.  This is needed for a planned change to use Unicode
2630	  fullwidth characters in the test-screens.
2631	+ correct update to form status for _NEWTOP, broken by fixes for
2632	  compiler warnings (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20120616).
2633
263420140621
2635	+ change shared-library suffix for AIX 5 and 6 to ".so", avoiding
2636	  conflict with the static library (report by Ben Lentz).
2637	+ document RPATH_LIST in INSTALLATION file, as part of workarounds for
2638	  upgrading an ncurses library using the "--with-shared" option.
2639	+ modify test/ncurses.c c/C tests to cycle through subsets of the
2640	  total number of colors, to better illustrate 8/16/88/256-colors by
2641	  providing directly comparable screens.
2642	+ add test/dots_curses.c, for comparison with the low-level examples.
2643
264420140614
2645	+ fix dereference before null check found by Coverity in tic.c
2646	  (cf: 20140524).
2647	+ fix sign-extension bug in read_entry.c which prevented "toe" from
2648	  reading empty "screen+italics" entry.
2649	+ modify sgr for screen.xterm-new to support dim capability -TD
2650	+ add dim capability to nsterm+7 -TD
2651	+ cancel dim capability for iterm -TD
2652	+ add dim, invis capabilities to vte-2012 -TD
2653	+ add sitm/ritm to konsole-base and mlterm3 -TD
2654
265520140609
2656	> fix regression in screen terminfo entries (reports by Christian
2657	  Ebert, Gabriele Balducci) -TD
2658	+ revert the change to screen; see notes for why this did not work -TD
2659	+ cancel sitm/ritm for entries which extend "screen", to work around
2660	  screen's hardcoded behavior for SGR 3 -TD
2661
266220140607
2663	+ separate masking for sgr in vidputs from sitm/ritm, which do not
2664	  overlap with sgr functionality.
2665	+ remove unneeded -i option from adacurses-config; put -a in the -I
2666	  option for consistency (patch by Pascal Pignard).
2667	+ update xterm-new terminfo entry to xterm patch #305 -TD
2668	+ change format of test-scripts for Debian Ada95 and ncurses-examples
2669	  packages to quilted to work around Debian #700177 (cf: 20130907).
2670	+ build fix for form_driver_w.c as part of ncurses-examples package for
2671	  older ncurses than 20131207.
2672	+ add Hello World example to adacurses-config manpage.
2673	+ remove unused --enable-pc-files option from Ada95/configure.
2674	+ add --disable-gnat-projects option for testing.
2675	+ revert changes to Ada95 project-files configuration (cf: 20140524).
2676	+ corrected usage message in adacurses-config.
2677
267820140524
2679	+ fix typo in ncurses manpage for the NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE
2680	  environment variable.
2681	+ improve discussion of input-echoing in curs_getch.3x
2682	+ clarify discussion in curs_addch.3x of wrapping.
2683	+ modify parametrized.h to make fln non-padded.
2684	+ correct several entries which had termcap-style padding used in
2685	  terminfo: adm21, aj510, alto-h19, att605-pc, x820 -TD
2686	+ correct syntax for padding in some entries: dg211, h19 -TD
2687	+ correct ti924-8 which had confused padding versus octal escapes -TD
2688	+ correct padding in sbi entry -TD
2689	+ fix an old bug in the termcap emulation; "%i" was ignored in tparm()
2690	  because the parameters to be incremented were already on the internal
2691	  stack (report by Corinna Vinschen).
2692	+ modify tic's "-c" option to take into account the "-C" option to
2693	  activate additional checks which compare the results from running
2694	  tparm() on the terminfo expressions versus the translated termcap
2695	  expressions.
2696	+ modify tic to allow it to read from FIFOs (report by Matthieu Fronton,
2697	  cf: 20120324).
2698	> patches by Nicolas Boulenguez:
2699	+ explicit dereferences to suppress some style warnings.
2700	+ when c_varargs_to_ada.c includes its header, use double quotes
2701	  instead of <>.
2702	+ samples/ncurses2-util.adb:  removed unused with clause.  The warning
2703	  was removed by an obsolete pragma.
2704	+ replaced Unreferenced pragmas with Warnings (Off).  The latter,
2705	  available with older GNATs, needs no configure test.  This also
2706	  replaces 3 untested Unreferenced pragmas.
2707	+ simplified To_C usage in trace handling.  Using two parameters allows
2708	  some basic formatting, and avoids a warning about security with some
2709	  compiler flags.
2710	+ for generated Ada sources, replace many snippets with one pure
2711	  package.
2712	+ removed C_Chtype and its conversions.
2713	+ removed C_AttrType and its conversions.
2714	+ removed conversions between int, Item_Option_Set, Menu_Option_Set.
2715	+ removed int, Field_Option_Set, Item_Option_Set conversions.
2716	+ removed C_TraceType, Attribute_Option_Set conversions.
2717	+ replaced C.int with direct use of Eti_Error, now enumerated.  As it
2718	  was used in a case statement, values were tested by the Ada compiler
2719	  to be consecutive anyway.
2720	+ src/Makefile.in: remove duplicate stanza
2721	+ only consider using a project for shared libraries.
2722	+ style. Silent gnat-4.9 warning about misplaced "then".
2723	+ generate shared library project to honor ADAFLAGS, LDFLAGS.
2724
272520140510
2726	+ cleanup recently introduced compiler warnings for MingW port.
2727	+ workaround for ${MAKEFLAGS} configure check versus GNU make 4.0,
2728	  which introduces more than one gratuitous incompatibility.
2729
273020140503
2731	+ add vt520ansi terminfo entry (patch by Mike Gran)
2732	+ further improve MinGW support for the scenario where there is an
2733	  ANSI-escapes handler such as ansicon running in the console window
2734	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
2735
273620140426
2737	+ add --disable-lib-suffixes option (adapted from patch by Juergen
2738	  Pfeifer).
2739	+ merge some changes from Juergen Pfeifer's work with MSYS2, to
2740	  simplify later merging:
2741	  + use NC_ISATTY() macro for isatty() in library
2742	  + add _nc_mingw_isatty() and related functions to windows-driver
2743	  + rename terminal driver entrypoints to simplify grep's
2744	+ remove a check in the sp-funcs flavor of newterm() which allowed only
2745	  the first call to newterm() to succeed (report by Thomas Beierlein,
2746	  cf: 20090927).
2747
274820140419
2749	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2750		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
2751
275220140412
2753	+ modify configure script:
2754	  + drop the -no-gcc option from Intel compiler, from lynx changes.
2755	  + extend the --with-hashed-db configure option to simplify building
2756	    with different versions of Berkeley database using FreeBSD ports.
2757	+ improve initialization for MinGW port (Juergen Pfeifer):
2758	  + enforce Windows-style path-separator if cross-compiling,
2759	  + add a driver-name method to each of the drivers,
2760	  + allow the Windows driver name to match "unknown", ignoring case,
2761	  + lengthen the built-in name for the Windows console driver to
2762	    "#win32console", and
2763	  + move the comparison of driver-names allowing abbreviation, e.g.,
2764	    to "#win32con" into the Windows console driver.
2765
276620140329
2767	+ add check in tic for mismatch between ccc and initp/initc
2768	+ cancel ccc in putty-256color and konsole-256color for consistency
2769	  with the cancelled initc capability (patch by Sven Zuhlsdorf).
2770	+ add xterm+256setaf building block for various terminals which only
2771	  get the 256-color feature half-implemented -TD
2772	+ updated "st" entry (leaving the 0.1.1 version as "simpleterm") to
2773	  0.4.1 -TD
2774
277520140323
2776	+ fix typo in "mlterm" entry (report by Gabriele Balducci) -TD
2777
277820140322
2779	+ use types from <stdint.h> in sample build-scripts for chtype, etc.
2780	+ modify configure script and curses.h.in to allow the types specified
2781	  using --with-chtype and related options to be defined in <stdint.h>
2782	+ add terminology entry -TD
2783	+ add mlterm3 entry, use that as "mlterm" -TD
2784	+ inherit mlterm-256color from mlterm -TD
2785
278620140315
2787	+ modify _nc_New_TopRow_and_CurrentItem() to ensure that the menu's
2788	  top-row is adjusted as needed to ensure that the current item is
2789	  on the screen (patch by Johann Klammer).
2790	+ add wgetdelay() to retrieve _delay member of WINDOW if it happens to
2791	  be opaque, e.g., in the pthread configuration (prompted by patch by
2792	  Soren Brinkmann).
2793
279420140308
2795	+ modify ifdef in read_entry.c to handle the case where
2796	  NCURSES_USE_DATABASE is not defined (patch by Xin Li).
2797	+ add cast in form_driver_w() to fix ARM build (patch by Xin Li).
2798	+ add logic to win_driver.c to save/restore screen contents when not
2799	  allocating a console-buffer (cf: 20140215).
2800
280120140301
2802	+ clarify error-returns from newwin (report by Ruslan Nabioullin).
2803
280420140222
2805	+ fix some compiler warnings in win_driver.c
2806	+ updated notes for wsvt25 based on tack and vttest -TD
2807	+ add teken entry to show actual properties of FreeBSD's "xterm"
2808	  console -TD
2809
281020140215
2811	+ in-progress changes to win_driver.c to implement output without
2812	  allocating a console-buffer.  This uses a pre-existing environment
2813	  variable NCGDB used by Juergen Pfeifer for debugging (prompted by
2814	  discussion with Erwin Waterlander regarding Console2, which hangs
2815	  when reading in an allocated console-buffer).
2816	+ add -t option to gdc.c, and modify to accept "S" to step through the
2817	  scrolling-stages.
2818	+ regenerate NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the broken
2819	  html emitted by docbook.
2820
282120140209
2822	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to omit followup check to determine if
2823	  _XOPEN_SOURCE can/should be defined.  g++ 4.7.2 built on Solaris 10
2824	  has some header breakage due to its own predefinition of this symbol
2825	  (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15796).
2826
282720140201
2828	+ add/use symbol NCURSES_PAIRS_T like NCURSES_COLOR_T, to illustrate
2829	  which "short" types are for color pairs and which are color values.
2830	+ fix build for s390x, by correcting field bit offsets in generated
2831	  representation clauses when int=32 long=64 and endian=big, or at
2832	  least on s390x (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
2833	+ minor cleanup change to test/form_driver_w.c (patch by Gaute Hope).
2834
283520140125
2836	+ remove unnecessary ifdef's in Ada95/gen/gen.c, which reportedly do
2837	  not work as is with gcc 4.8 due to fixes using chtype cast made for
2838	  new compiler warnings by gcc 4.8 in 20130824 (Debian #735753, patch
2839	  by Nicolas Boulenguez).
2840
284120140118
2842	+ apply includesubdir variable which was introduced in 20130805 to
2843	  gen-pkgconfig.in (Debian #735782).
2844
284520131221
2846	+ further improved man2html, used this to fix broken links in html
2847	  manpages.  See
2848	  ftp://ftp.invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/man2html
2849
285020131214
2851	+ modify configure-script/ifdef's to allow OLD_TTY feature to be
2852	  suppressed if the type of ospeed is configured using the option
2853	  --with-ospeed to not be a short.  By default, it is a short for
2854	  termcap-compatibility (adapted from suggestion by Christian
2855	  Weisgerber).
2856	+ correct a typo in _nc_baudrate() (patch by Christian Weisgerber,
2857	  cf: 20061230).
2858	+ fix a few -Wlogical-op warnings.
2859	+ updated llib-l* files.
2860
286120131207
2862	+ add form_driver_w() entrypoint to wide-character forms library, as
2863	  well as test program form_driver_w (adapted from patch by Gaute
2864	  Hope).
2865
286620131123
2867	+ minor fix for CF_GCC_WARNINGS to special-case options which are not
2868	  recognized by clang.
2869
287020131116
2871	+ add special case to configure script to move _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
2872	  definition from CPPFLAGS to CFLAGS if it happens to be needed for
2873	  Solaris, because g++ errors with that definition (report by
2874	  Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15268).
2875	+ correct logic in infocmp's -i option which was intended to ignore
2876	  strings which correspond to function-keys as candidates for piecing
2877	  together initialization- or reset-strings.  The problem dates to
2878	  1.9.7a, but was overlooked until changes in -Wlogical-op warnings for
2879	  gcc 4.8 (report by David Binderman).
2880	+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, moving
2881	  checks for -Wextra and -Wdeclaration-after-statement into the macro,
2882	  and adding checks for -Wignored-qualifiers, -Wlogical-op and
2883	  -Wvarargs

2960	  attributes which a given terminal supports, to make room for an
2961	  italics test.
2962	+ completed ncv table in terminfo.tail; it did not list the wide
2963	  character codes listed in X/Open Curses issue 7.

3059	  --enable-reentrant options are combined (report by George R Goffe).
3060
306120130525

3063	  library, and external callers, preventing it from reading the content
3064	  of the screen which is only nonblank when curses calls have updated

3066	  the left margin of the display.
3067	+ minor fix to test/dots_mvcur.c
3068	+ move configured symbols USE_DATABASE and USE_TERMCAP to term.h as

3070	  use of these symbols in term_entry.h
3071
307220130518
3073	+ corrected ifdefs in test/testcurs.c to allow comparison of mouse

3086	  (cf: 20121215) (Redhat #959534).
3087
308820130504
3089	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:

3092	  + fix dead-code issue with test/movewindow.c
3093	  + improve limited-checking in _nc_read_termtype().
3094
309520130427
3096	+ fix clang 3.2 warning in progs/dump_entry.c

3101	  (prompted by discussion with Daniel Silva Ferreira).
3102	+ add -D option to infocmp's usage-message (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).

3104	  type of bool variable, to work with clang 3.2 (report by Dmitri
3105	  Gribenko).
3106	+ improve configure check for static_cast, to work with clang 3.2
3107	  (report by Dmitri Gribenko).
3108	+ re-order rule for demo.o and macros defining header dependencies in
3109	  c++/Makefile.in to accommodate gmake (report by Dmitri Gribenko).
3110
311120130406
3112	+ improve parameter checking in copywin().
3113	+ modify configure script to work around OS X's "libtool" program, to
3114	  choose glibtool instead.  At the same time, chance the autoconf macro
3115	  to look for a "tool" rather than a "prog", to help with potential use
3116	  in cross-compiling.
3117	+ separate the rpath usage for c++ library from demo program
3118	  (Redhat #911540)
3119	+ update/correct header-dependencies in c++ makefile (report by Werner
3120	  Fink).

3149
315020130309
3151	+ amend change to toe.c for reading from /dev/zero, to ensure that
3152	  there is a buffer for the temporary filename (cf: 20120324).

3157	  + CF_INTEL_COMPILER, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE from luit 2.0-20130217
3158	+ add configure option --with-cxx-shared to permit building
3159	  libncurses++ as a shared library when using g++, e.g., the same
3160	  limitations as libtool but better integrated with the usual build
3161	  configuration (Redhat #911540).
3162	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to filter out build-path which was unnecessarily
3163	  shown in curses.h (Debian #689131).
3164
316520130302
3166	+ add section to terminfo manpage discussing user-defined capabilities.
3167	+ update manpage description of NCURSES_NO_SETBUF, explaining why it
3168	  is obsolete.
3169	+ add a check in waddch_nosync() to ensure that tab characters are
3170	  treated as control characters; some broken locales claim they are
3171	  printable.
3172	+ add some traces to the Windows console driver.
3173	+ initialize a temporary array in _nc_mbtowc, needed for some cases
3174	  of raw input in MinGW port.

3179
318020130216
3181	+ modify test/testcurs.c to work with mouse for ncurses as it does for

3183	+ modify test/knight.c to work with mouse for pdcurses as it does for
3184	  ncurses.
3185	+ modify internal recursion in wgetch() which handles cooked mode to
3186	  check if the call to wgetnstr() returned an error.  This can happen
3187	  when both nocbreak() and nodelay() are set, for instance (report by
3188	  Nils Christopher Brause) (cf: 960418).
3189	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
3190	  + add a check for valid position in ClearToEOS()
3191	  + fix in lib_twait.c when --enable-wgetch-events is used, pointer
3192	    use after free.
3193	  + improve a limit-check in make_hash.c

3198	  of curses-related libraries, to help with linking with pdcurses in
3199	  MinGW environment.
3200	+ if the --with-terminfo-dirs configure option is not used, there is
3201	  no corresponding compiled-in value for that.  Fill in "no default
3202	  value" for that part of the manpage substitution.
3203
320420130202
3205	+ correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make
3206	  an incorrect move (cf: 20001028).
3207	+ improve documentation of the terminfo/termcap search path.
3208
320920130126
3210	+ further fixes to mvcur to pass callback function (cf: 20130112),
3211	  needed to make test/dots_mvcur work.
3212	+ reduce calls to SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer in win_driver.c, to
3213	  help reduce flicker.
3214	+ modify configure script to omit "+b" from linker options for very
3215	  old HP-UX systems (report by Dennis Grevenstein)
3216	+ add HP-UX workaround for missing EILSEQ on old HP-UX systems (patch
3217	  by Dennis Grevenstein).
3218	+ restore memmove/strdup support for antique systems (request by
3219	  Dennis Grevenstein).
3220	+ change %l behavior in tparm to push the string length onto the stack
3221	  rather than saving the formatted length into the output buffer
3222	  (report by Roy Marples, cf: 980620).
3223
322420130119
3225	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:

3230	  + improve error-checking in copywin
3231	+ add advice in infocmp manpage for termcap users (Debian #698469).
3232	+ add "-y" option to test/demo_termcap and test/demo_terminfo to
3233	  demonstrate behavior with/without extended capabilities.
3234	+ updated termcap manpage to document legacy termcap behavior for
3235	  matching capability names.
3236	+ modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate legacy
3237	  applications as well as to improve compatibility with BSD 4.2
3238	  termcap implementations (Debian #698299) (cf: 980725).
3239
324020130112
3241	+ correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts.
3242	+ drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they
3243	  are unused in the current driver model.
3244	+ modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses
3245	  library.
3246	+ modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage.
3247	+ amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level
3248	  putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering.
3249	  The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674).
3250
325120130105
3252	+ add "-s" option to test/view.c to allow it to start in single-step
3253	  mode, reducing size of trace files when it is used for debugging
3254	  MinGW changes.
3255	+ revert part of 20121222 change to tinfo_driver.c
3256	+ add experimental logic in win_driver.c to improve optimization of
3257	  screen updates.  This does not yet work with double-width characters,
3258	  so it is ifdef'd out for the moment (prompted by report by Erwin

3260
326120121229
3262	+ fix Coverity warnings regarding copying into fixed-size buffers.
3263	+ add throw-declarations in the c++ binding per Coverity warning.

3269	  for Mac OS builds.
3270	+ add a configure check for gcc option -no-cpp-precomp, which is not
3271	  available in all Mac OS X configurations (report by Andras Salamon,
3272	  cf: 20011208).
3273	+ improve 20021221 workaround for broken acs, handling a case where
3274	  that ACS_xxx character is not in the acsc string but there is a known
3275	  wide-character which can be used.
3276
327720121215
3278	+ fix several warnings from clang 3.1 --analyze, includes correcting
3279	  a null-pointer check in _nc_mvcur_resume.

329020121208
3291	+ modify test/knight.c to show the number of choices possible for
3292	  each position in automove option, e.g., to allow user to follow
3293	  Warnsdorff's rule to solve the puzzle.
3294	+ modify test/hanoi.c to show the minimum number of moves possible for
3295	  the given number of tiles (prompted by patch by Lucas Gioia).

3309
331020121201
3311	+ also replace MinGW's wctomb(), fixing a problem with setcchar().
3312	+ modify test/view.c to load UTF-8 when built with MinGW by using
3313	  regular win32 API because the MinGW functions mblen() and mbtowc()
3314	  do not work.
3315
331620121124
3317	+ correct order of color initialization versus display in some of the
3318	  test-programs, e.g., test_addstr.c
3319	> fixes based on Coverity report:
3320	+ delete windows on exit from some of the test-programs.
3321
332220121117
3323	> fixes based on Coverity report:
3324	+ add missing braces around FreeAndNull in two places.
3325	+ various fixes in test/ncurses.c
3326	+ improve limit-checks in tinfo/make_hash.c, tinfo/read_entry.c

3334	+ delete unused windows in test/chgat.c, test/clip_printw.c,
3335	  test/insdelln.c, test/newdemo.c on error-return.
3336
333720121110
3338	+ modify configure macro CF_INCLUDE_DIRS to put $CPPFLAGS after the
3339	  local -I include options in case someone has set conflicting -I
3340	  options in $CPPFLAGS (prompted by patch for ncurses/Makefile.in by
3341	  Vassili Courzakis).
3342	+ modify the ncurses*-config scripts to eliminate relative paths from
3343	  the RPATH_LIST variable, e.g., "../lib" as used in installing shared
3344	  libraries or executables.
3345
334620121102
3347	+ realign these related pages:
3348	    curs_add_wchstr.3x
3349	    curs_addchstr.3x
3350	    curs_addstr.3x
3351	    curs_addwstr.3x
3352	  and fix a long-ago error in curs_addstr.3x which said that a -1
3353	  length parameter would only write as much as fit onto one line
3354	  (report by Reuben Thomas).
3355	+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_memmove() for memmove()/bcopy().
3356	+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_strdup() for strdup().
3357	+ cancel any debug-rpm in package/ncurses.spec
3358	+ reviewed vte-2012, reverted most of the change since it was incorrect
3359	  based on testing with tack -TD
3360	+ un-cancel the initc in vte-256color, since this was implemented
3361	  starting with version 0.20 in 2009 -TD
3362
336320121026
3364	+ improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
3365	  #866989).
3366	+ add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.
3367	+ updated configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_WITH_PATHLIST.  The
3368	  first corrects pattern used for Mac OS X's customization of gcc.
3369
337020121017
3371	+ fix change to _nc_scroll_optimize(), which incorrectly freed memory
3372	  (Redhat #866989).
3373
337420121013
3375	+ add vte-2012, gnome-2012, making these the defaults for vte/gnome
3376	  (patch by Christian Persch).
3377
337820121006
3379	+ improve CF_GCC_VERSION to work around Debian's customization of gcc
3380	  --version message.
3381	+ improve configure macros as done in byacc:
3382	  + drop 2.13 compatibility; use 2.52.xxxx version only since EMX port
3383	    has used that for a while.
3384	  + add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE's to allow autoheader to run, i.e.,
3385	    for experimental use.
3386	  + remove unused configure macros.
3387	+ modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
3388	  for LIBS_TO_MAKE variable.

3390	+ update config.guess, config.sub
3391
339220120922
3393	+ modify setupterm to set its copy of TERM to "unknown" if configured
3394	  for the terminal driver and TERM was null or empty.
3395	+ modify treatment of TERM variable for MinGW port to allow explicit
3396	  use of the windows console driver by checking if $TERM is set to
3397	  "#win32con" or an abbreviation of that.
3398	+ undo recent change to fallback definition of vsscanf() to build with
3399	  older Solaris compilers (cf: 20120728).
3400
340120120908
3402	+ add test-screens to test/ncurses to show 256-characters at a time,
3403	  to help with MinGW port.
3404
340520120903
3406	+ simplify varargs logic in lib_printw.c; va_copy is no longer needed
3407	  there.
3408	+ modifications for MinGW port to make wide-character display usable.
3409
341020120902
3411	+ regenerate configure script (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20120901).
3412
341320120901
3414	+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_flush (cf: 20120825).
3415	+ fix a case in _nc_scroll_optimize() where the _oldnums_list array
3416	  might not be allocated.
3417	+ improve comparisons in configure.in for unset shell variables.
3418
341920120826
3420	+ increase size of ncurses' output-buffer, in case of very small
3421	  initial screen-sizes.
3422	+ fix evaluation of TERMINFO and TERMINFO_DIRS default values as needed
3423	  after changes to use --datarootdir (reports by Gabriele Balducci,
3424	  Roumen Petrov).
3425
342620120825
3427	+ change output buffering scheme, using buffer maintained by ncurses
3428	  rather than stdio, to avoid problems with SIGTSTP handling (report
3429	  by Brian Bloniarz).
3430
343120120811
3432	+ update autoconf patch to 2.52.20120811, adding --datarootdir
3433	  (prompted by discussion with Erwin Waterlander).
3434	+ improve description of --enable-reentrant option in README and the
3435	  INSTALL file.
3436	+ add nsterm-256color, make this the default nsterm -TD
3437	+ remove bw from nsterm-bce, per testing with tack -TD
3438
343920120804
3440	+ update test/configure, adding check for tinfo library.
3441	+ improve limit-checks for the getch fifo (report by Werner Fink).
3442	+ fix a remaining mismatch between $with_echo and the symbols updated
3443	  for CF_DISABLE_ECHO affecting parameters for mk-2nd.awk (report by
3444	  Sven Joachim, cf:  20120317).
3445	+ modify followup check for pkg-config's library directory in the
3446	  --enable-pc-files option to validate syntax (report by Sven Joachim,
3447	  cf: 20110716).
3448
344920120728
3450	+ correct path for ncurses_mingw.h in include/headers, in case build
3451	  is done outside source-tree (patch by Roumen Petrov).
3452	+ modify some older xterm entries to align with xterm source -TD
3453	+ separate "xterm-old" alias from "xterm-r6" -TD
3454	+ add E3 extended capability to xterm-basic and putty -TD
3455	+ parenthesize parameters of other macros in curses.h -TD
3456	+ parenthesize parameter of COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER in curses.h
3457	  in case it happens to be a comma-expression, etc.  (patch by Nick
3458	  Black).
3459
346020120721
3461	+ improved form_request_by_name() and menu_request_by_name().
3462	+ eliminate two fixed-size buffers in toe.c
3463	+ extend use_tioctl() to have expected behavior when use_env(FALSE) and
3464	  use_tioctl(TRUE) are called.
3465	+ modify ncurses test-program, adding -E and -T options to demonstrate
3466	  use_env() versus use_tioctl().
3467
346820120714
3469	+ add use_tioctl() function (adapted from patch by Werner Fink,
3470	  Novell #769788):
3471
347220120707
3473	+ add ncurses_mingw.h to installed headers (prompted by patch by
3474	  Juergen Pfeifer).
3475	+ clarify return-codes from wgetch() in response to SIGWINCH (prompted
3476	  by Novell #769788).
3477	+ modify resizeterm() to always push a KEY_RESIZE onto the fifo, even
3478	  if screensize is unchanged.  Modify _nc_update_screensize() to push a
3479	  KEY_RESIZE if there was a SIGWINCH, even if it does not call
3480	  resizeterm().  These changes eliminate the case where a SIGWINCH is
3481	  received, but ERR returned from wgetch or wgetnstr because the screen
3482	  dimensions did not change (Novell #769788).
3483
348420120630
3485	+ add --enable-interop to sample package scripts (suggested by Juergen
3486	  Pfeifer).
3487	+ update CF_PATH_SYNTAX macro, from mawk changes.
3488	+ modify mk-0th.awk to allow for generating llib-ltic, etc., though
3489	  some work is needed on cproto to work with lib_gen.c to update
3490	  llib-lncurses.
3491	+ remove redundant getenv() cal in database-iterator leftover from
3492	  cleanup in 20120622 changes (report by Sven Joachim).
3493
349420120622
3495	+ add -d, -e and -q options to test/demo_terminfo and test/demo_termcap
3496	+ fix caching of environment variables in database-iterator (patch by
3497	  Philippe Troin, Redhat #831366).
3498
349920120616
3500	+ add configure check to distinguish clang from gcc to eliminate
3501	  warnings about unused command-line parameters when compiler warnings
3502	  are enabled.
3503	+ improve behavior when updating terminfo entries which are hardlinked
3504	  by allowing for the possibility that an alias has been repurposed to
3505	  a new primary name.
3506	+ fix some strict compiler warnings based on package scripts.
3507	+ further fixes for configure check for working poll (Debian #676461).
3508
350920120608
3510	+ fix an uninitialized variable in -c/-n logic for infocmp changes
3511	  (cf: 20120526).
3512	+ corrected fix for building c++ binding with clang 3.0 (report/patch
3513	  by Richard Yao, Gentoo #417613, cf: 20110409)
3514	+ correct configure check for working poll, fixing the case where stdin
3515	  is redirected, e.g., in rpm/dpkg builds (Debian #676461).
3516	+ add rpm- and dpkg-scripts, to test those build-environments.
3517	  The resulting packages are used only for testing.
3518
351920120602
3520	+ add kdch1 aka "Remove" to vt220 and vt220-8 entries -TD
3521	+ add kdch1, etc., to qvt108 -TD
3522	+ add dl1/il1 to some entries based on dl/il values -TD
3523	+ add dl to simpleterm -TD
3524	+ add consistency-checks in tic for insert-line vs delete-line
3525	  controls, and insert/delete-char keys
3526	+ correct no-leaks logic in infocmp when doing comparisons, fixing
3527	  duplicate free of entries given via the command-line, and freeing
3528	  entries loaded from the last-but-one of files specified on the
3529	  command-line.
3530	+ add kdch1 to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (reported by David Lord,
3531	  analysis by Martin Husemann).
3532	+ add cnorm/civis to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (report/analysis by
3533	  Onno van der Linden).
3534
353520120526
3536	+ extend -c and -n options of infocmp to allow comparing more than two
3537	  entries.
3538	+ correct check in infocmp for number of terminal names when more than
3539	  two are given.
3540	+ correct typo in curs_threads.3x (report by Yanhui Shen on
3541	  freebsd-hackers mailing list).
3542
354320120512
3544	+ corrected 'op' for bterm (report by Samuel Thibault) -TD
3545	+ modify test/background.c to demonstrate a background character
3546	  holding a colored ACS_HLINE.  The behavior differs from SVr4 due to
3547	  the thick- and double-line extension (cf: 20091003).
3548	+ modify handling of acs characters in PutAttrChar to avoid mapping an
3549	  unmapped character to a space with A_ALTCHARSET set.
3550	+ rewrite vt520 entry based on vt420 -TD
3551
355220120505
3553	+ remove p6 (bold) from opus3n1+ for consistency -TD
3554	+ remove acs stuff from env230 per clues in Ingres termcap -TD
3555	+ modify env230 sgr/sgr0 to match other capabilities -TD
3556	+ modify smacs/rmacs in bq300-8 to match sgr/sgr0 -TD
3557	+ make sgr for dku7202 agree with other caps -TD
3558	+ make sgr for ibmpc agree with other caps -TD
3559	+ make sgr for tek4107 agree with other caps -TD
3560	+ make sgr for ndr9500 agree with other caps -TD
3561	+ make sgr for sco-ansi agree with other caps -TD
3562	+ make sgr for d410 agree with other caps -TD
3563	+ make sgr for d210 agree with other caps -TD
3564	+ make sgr for d470c, d470c-7b agree with other caps -TD
3565	+ remove redundant AC_DEFINE for NDEBUG versus Makefile definition.
3566	+ fix a back-link in _nc_delink_entry(), which is needed if ncurses is
3567	  configured with --enable-termcap and --disable-getcap.
3568
356920120428
3570	+ fix some inconsistencies between vt320/vt420, e.g., cnorm/civis -TD
3571	+ add eslok flag to dec+sl -TD
3572	+ dec+sl applies to vt320 and up -TD
3573	+ drop wsl width from xterm+sl -TD
3574	+ reuse xterm+sl in putty and nsca-m -TD
3575	+ add ansi+tabs to vt520 -TD
3576	+ add ansi+enq to vt220-vt520 -TD
3577	+ fix a compiler warning in example in ncurses-intro.doc (Paul Waring).
3578	+ added paragraph in keyname manpage telling how extended capabilities
3579	  are interpreted as key definitions.
3580	+ modify tic's check of conflicting key definitions to include extended
3581	  capability strings in addition to the existing check on predefined
3582	  keys.
3583
358420120421
3585	+ improve cleanup of temporary files in tic using atexit().
3586	+ add msgr to vt420, similar DEC vtXXX entries -TD
3587	+ add several missing vt420 capabilities from vt220 -TD
3588	+ factor out ansi+pp from several entries -TD
3589	+ change xterm+sl and xterm+sl-twm to include only the status-line
3590	  capabilities and not "use=xterm", making them more generally useful
3591	  as building-blocks -TD
3592	+ add dec+sl building block, as example -TD
3593
359420120414
3595	+ add XT to some terminfo entries to improve usefulness for other
3596	  applications than screen, which would like to pretend that xterm's
3597	  title is a status-line.  -TD
3598	+ change use-clauses in ansi-mtabs, hp2626, and hp2622 based on review
3599	  of ordering and overrides -TD
3600	+ add consistency check in tic for screen's "XT" capability.
3601	+ add section in terminfo.src summarizing the user-defined capabilities
3602	  used in that file -TD
3603
360420120407
3605	+ fix an inconsistency between tic/infocmp "-x" option; tic omits all
3606	  non-standard capabilities, while infocmp was ignoring only the user
3607	  definable capabilities.
3608	+ improve special case in tic parsing of description to allow it to be
3609	  followed by terminfo capabilities.  Previously the description had to
3610	  be the last field on an input line to allow tic to distinguish
3611	  between termcap and terminfo format while still allowing commas to be
3612	  embedded in the description.
3613	+ correct variable name in gen_edit.sh which broke configurability of
3614	  the --with-xterm-kbs option.
3615	+ revert 2011-07-16 change to "linux" alias, return to "linux2.2" -TD
3616	+ further amend 20110910 change, providing for configure-script
3617	  override of the "linux" terminfo entry to install and changing the
3618	  default for that to "linux2.2" (Debian #665959).
3619
362020120331
3621	+ update Ada95/configure to use CF_DISABLE_ECHO (cf: 20120317).
3622	+ correct order of use-clauses in st-256color -TD
3623	+ modify configure script to look for gnatgcc if the Ada95 binding
3624	  is built, in preference to the default gcc/cc (suggested by
3625	  Nicolas Boulenguez).
3626	+ modify configure script to ensure that the same -On option used for
3627	  the C compiler in CFLAGS is used for ADAFLAGS rather than simply
3628	  using "-O3" (suggested by Nicolas Boulenguez)
3629
363020120324
3631	+ amend an old fix so that next_char() exits properly for empty files,
3632	  e.g., from reading /dev/null (cf: 20080804).
3633	+ modify tic so that it can read from the standard input, or from
3634	  a character device.  Because tic uses seek's, this requires writing
3635	  the data to a temporary file first (prompted by remark by Sven
3636	  Joachim) (cf: 20000923).
3637
363820120317
3639	+ correct a check made in lib_napms.c, so that terminfo applications
3640	  can again use napms() (cf: 20110604).
3641	+ add a note in tic.h regarding required casts for ABSENT_BOOLEAN
3642	  (cf: 20040327).
3643	+ correct scripting for --disable-echo option in test/configure.
3644	+ amend check for missing c++ compiler to work when no error is
3645	  reported, and no variables set (cf: 20021206).
3646	+ add/use configure macro CF_DISABLE_ECHO.
3647
364820120310
3649	+ fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits.
3650	+ use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303).
3651	+ improve a limit-check in infocmp.c (Werner Fink):
3652
365320120303
3654	+ minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation
3655	  regarding mapping of \0 to \200
3656	+ minor improvement to _nc_copy_termtype(), using memcpy to replace
3657	  loops.
3658	+ fix no-leaks checking in test/demo_termcap.c to account for multiple
3659	  calls to setupterm().
3660	+ modified the libgpm change to show previous load as a problem in the
3661	  debug-trace.
3662	> merge some patches from OpenSUSE rpm (Werner Fink):
3663	+ ncurses-5.7-printw.dif, fixes for varargs handling in lib_printw.c
3664	+ ncurses-5.7-gpm.dif, do not dlopen libgpm if already loaded by
3665	  runtime linker
3666	+ ncurses-5.6-fallback.dif, do not free arrays and strings from static
3667	  fallback entries
3668
366920120228
3670	+ fix breakage in tic/infocmp from 20120225 (report by Werner Fink).
3671
367220120225
3673	+ modify configure script to allow creating dll's for MinGW when
3674	  cross-compiling.
3675	+ add --enable-string-hacks option to control whether strlcat and
3676	  strlcpy may be used.  The same issue applies to OpenBSD's warnings
3677	  about snprintf, noting that this function is weakly standardized.
3678	+ add configure checks for strlcat, strlcpy and snprintf, to help
3679	  reduce bogus warnings with OpenBSD builds.
3680	+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 to supply consistent intptr_t declaration
3681	  (cf:20111231)
3682	+ update config.guess, config.sub
3683
368420120218
3685	+ correct CF_ETIP_DEFINES configure macro, making it exit properly on
3686	  the first success (patch by Pierre Labastie).
3687	+ improve configure macro CF_MKSTEMP by moving existence-check for
3688	  mkstemp out of the AC_TRY_RUN, to help with cross-compiles.
3689	+ improve configure macro CF_FUNC_POLL from luit changes to detect
3690	  broken implementations, e.g., with Mac OS X.
3691	+ add configure option --with-tparm-arg
3692	+ build-fix for MinGW cross-compiling, so that make_hash does not
3693	  depend on TTY definition (cf: 20111008).
3694
369520120211
3696	+ make sgr for xterm-pcolor agree with other caps -TD
3697	+ make sgr for att5425 agree with other caps -TD

3702	+ make sgr for ncr160vt100pp agree with other caps -TD
3703	+ make sgr for ncr260vt300an agree with other caps -TD
3704	+ make sgr for aaa-60-dec-rv, aaa+dec agree with other caps -TD
3705	+ make sgr for cygwin, cygwinDBG agree with other caps -TD
3706	+ add configure option --with-xterm-kbs to simplify configuration for
3707	  Linux versus most other systems.
3708
370920120204
3710	+ improved tic -D option, avoid making target directory and provide
3711	  better diagnostics.
3712
371320120128
3714	+ add mach-gnu (Debian #614316, patch by Samuel Thibault)
3715	+ add mach-gnu-color, tweaks to mach-gnu terminfo -TD
3716	+ make sgr for sun-color agree with smso -TD
3717	+ make sgr for prism9 agree with other caps -TD
3718	+ make sgr for icl6404 agree with other caps -TD
3719	+ make sgr for ofcons agree with other caps -TD
3720	+ make sgr for att5410v1, att4415, att620 agree with other caps -TD
3721	+ make sgr for aaa-unk, aaa-rv agree with other caps -TD
3722	+ make sgr for avt-ns agree with other caps -TD
3723	+ amend fix intended to separate fixups for acsc to allow "tic -cv" to
3724	  give verbose warnings (cf:  20110730).
3725	+ modify misc/gen-edit.sh to make the location of the tabset directory
3726	  consistent with misc/Makefile.in, i.e., using ${datadir}/tabset
3727	  (Debian #653435, patch by Sven Joachim).
3728
372920120121
3730	+ add --with-lib-prefix option to allow configuring for old/new flavors
3731	  of OS/2 EMX.
3732	+ modify check for gnat version to allow for year, as used in FreeBSD
3733	  port.
3734	+ modify check_existence() in db_iterator.c to simply check if the
3735	  path is a directory or file, according to the need.  Checking for
3736	  directory size also gives no usable result with OS/2 (cf: 20120107).
3737	+ support OS/2 kLIBC (patch by KO Myung-Hun).
3738
373920120114
3740	+ several improvements to test/movewindow.c (prompted by discussion on
3741	  Linux Mint forum):
3742	  + modify movement commands to make them continuous
3743	  + rewrote the test for mvderwin
3744	  + rewrote the test for recursive mvwin
3745	+ split-out reusable CF_WITH_NCURSES_ETC macro in test/configure.in
3746	+ updated configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, build-fixes for Mac OS X
3747	  and OpenBSD.
3748	+ regenerated html manpages.
3749
375020120107
3751	+ various improvements for MinGW (Juergen Pfeifer):
3752	  + modify stat() calls to ignore the st_size member
3753	  + drop mk-dlls.sh script.
3754	  + change recommended regular expression library.
3755	  + modify rain.c to allow for threaded configuration.
3756	  + modify tset.c to allow for case when size-change logic is not used.
3757
375820111231
3759	+ modify toe's report when -a and -s options are combined, to add
3760	  a column showing which entries belong to a given database.
3761	+ add -s option to toe, to sort its output.
3762	+ modify progs/toe.c, simplifying use of db-iterator results to use
3763	  caching improvements from 20111001 and 20111126.
3764	+ correct generation of pc-files when ticlib or termlib options are
3765	  given to rename the corresponding tic- or tinfo-libraries (report
3766	  by Sven Joachim).
3767
376820111224
3769	+ document a portability issue with tput, i.e., that scripts which work
3770	  with ncurses may fail in other implementations that do no parameter
3771	  analysis.
3772	+ add putty-sco entry -TD
3773
377420111217
3775	+ review/fix places in manpages where --program-prefix configure option
3776	  was not being used.
3777	+ add -D option to infocmp, to show the database locations that it
3778	  could use.
3779	+ fix build for the special case where term-driver, ticlib and termlib
3780	  are all enabled.  The terminal driver depends on a few features in
3781	  the base ncurses library, so tic's dependencies include both ncurses
3782	  and termlib.
3783	+ fix build work for term-driver when --enable-wgetch-events option is
3784	  enabled.
3785	+ use <stdint.h> types to fix some questionable casts to void*.
3786
378720111210
3788	+ modify configure script to check if thread library provides
3789	  pthread_mutexattr_settype(), e.g., not provided by Solaris 2.6
3790	+ modify configure script to suppress check to define _XOPEN_SOURCE
3791	  for IRIX64, since its header files have a conflict versus
3792	  _SGI_SOURCE.
3793	+ modify configure script to add ".pc" files for tic- and
3794	  tinfo-libraries, which were omitted in recent change (cf: 20111126).
3795	+ fix inconsistent checks on $PKG_CONFIG variable in configure script.
3796
379720111203
3798	+ modify configure-check for etip.h dependencies, supplying a temporary
3799	  copy of ncurses_dll.h since it is a generated file (prompted by
3800	  Debian #646977).
3801	+ modify CF_CPP_PARAM_INIT "main" function to work with current C++.
3802
380320111126
3804	+ correct database iterator's check for duplicate entries
3805	  (cf: 20111001).
3806	+ modify database iterator to ignore $TERMCAP when it is not an
3807	  absolute pathname.
3808	+ add -D option to tic, to show the database locations that it could
3809	  use.
3810	+ improve description of database locations in tic manpage.
3811	+ modify the configure script to generate a list of the ".pc" files to
3812	  generate, rather than deriving the list from the libraries which have
3813	  been built (patch by Mike Frysinger).
3814	+ use AC_CHECK_TOOLS in preference to AC_PATH_PROGS when searching for
3815	  ncurses*-config, e.g., in Ada95/configure and test/configure (adapted
3816	  from patch by Mike Frysinger).
3817
381820111119
3819	+ remove obsolete/conflicting fallback definition for _POSIX_SOURCE
3820	  from curses.priv.h, fixing a regression with IRIX64 and Tru64
3821	  (cf: 20110416)
3822	+ modify _nc_tic_dir() to ensure that its return-value is nonnull,
3823	  i.e., the database iterator was not initialized.  This case is needed
3824	  to when tic is translating to termcap, rather than loading the
3825	  database (cf:  20111001).
3826
382720111112
3828	+ add pccon entries for OpenBSD console (Alexei Malinin).
3829	+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 with gcc 4.2.1, setting _XOPEN_SOURCE to
3830	  600 to work around inconsistent ifdef'ing of wcstof between C and
3831	  C++ header files.
3832	+ modify capconvert script to accept more than exact match on "xterm",
3833	  e.g., the "xterm-*" variants, to exclude from the conversion (patch
3834	  by Robert Millan).
3835	+ add -lc_r as alternative for -lpthread, allows build of threaded code
3836	  in older FreeBSD machines.
3837	+ build-fix for MirBSD, which fails when either _XOPEN_SOURCE or
3838	  _POSIX_SOURCE are defined.
3839	+ fix a typo misc/Makefile.in, used in uninstalling pc-files.
3840
384120111030
3842	+ modify make_db_path() to allow creating "terminfo.db" in the same
3843	  directory as an existing "terminfo" directory.  This fixes a case
3844	  where switching between hashed/filesystem databases would cause the
3845	  new hashed database to be installed in the next best location -
3846	  root's home directory.
3847	+ add variable cf_cv_prog_gnat_correct to those passed to
3848	  config.status, fixing a problem with Ada95 builds (cf: 20111022).
3849	+ change feature test from _XPG5 to _XOPEN_SOURCE in two places, to
3850	  accommodate broken implementations for _XPG6.
3851	+ eliminate usage of NULL symbol from etip.h, to reduce header
3852	  interdependencies.
3853	+ add configure check to decide when to add _XOPEN_SOURCE define to
3854	  compiler options, i.e., for Solaris 10 and later (cf: 20100403).
3855	  This is a workaround for gcc 4.6, which fails to build the c++
3856	  binding if that symbol is defined by the application, due to
3857	  incorrectly combining the corresponding feature test macros
3858	  (report by Peter Kruse).
3859
386020111022
3861	+ correct logic for discarding mouse events, retaining the partial
3862	  events used to build up click, double-click, etc, until needed
3863	  (cf: 20110917).
3864	+ fix configure script to avoid creating unused Ada95 makefile when
3865	  gnat does not work.
3866	+ cleanup width-related gcc 3.4.3 warnings for 64-bit platform, for the
3867	  internal functions of libncurses.  The external interface of courses
3868	  uses bool, which still produces these warnings.
3869
387020111015
3871	+ improve description of --disable-tic-depends option to make it
3872	  clear that it may be useful whether or not the --with-termlib
3873	  option is also given (report by Sven Joachim).
3874	+ amend termcap equivalent for set_pglen_inch to use the X/Open
3875	  "YI" rather than the obsolete Solaris 2.5 "sL" (cf: 990109).
3876	+ improve manpage for tgetent differences from termcap library.
3877
387820111008
3879	+ moved static data from db_iterator.c to lib_data.c
3880	+ modify db_iterator.c for memory-leak checking, fix one leak.
3881	+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to use Requires.private for the parts
3882	  of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the
3883	  other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728).
3884
388520111001
3886	+ modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force
3887	  source-output.  That allows the same flag to control the parser for
3888	  input and output of termcap source.
3889	+ modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line,
3890	  making it consistent with ncurses' parser.
3891	+ restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap
3892	  text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924).
3893	+ modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the
3894	  conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is
3895	  normally following in the source file.  Also improved the warning
3896	  message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem.
3897	+ improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list.
3898
389920110925
3900	+ add a missing "else" in changes to _nc_read_tic_entry().
3901
390220110924
3903	+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() so that hashed-database is checked before
3904	  filesystem.
3905	+ updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
3906	+ modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
3907	  TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
3908	  to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick
3909	  Alcock aka "Nix").
3910	+ build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (cf: 20110917).
3911
391220110917
3913	+ fix compiler warning for clang 2.9
3914	+ improve merging of mouse events (integrated patch by Damien
3915	  Guibouret).
3916	+ correct mask-check used in lib_mouse for wheel mouse buttons 4/5
3917	  (patch by Damien Guibouret).
3918
391920110910
3920	+ modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with
3921	  the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0"
3922	  (cf: 20110716).
3923	+ revert a change to getmouse() which had the undesirable side-effect
3924	  of suppressing button-release events (report by Damien Guibouret,
3925	  cf: 20100102).
3926	+ add xterm+kbs fragment from xterm #272 -TD
3927	+ add configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir to provide control over
3928	  the actual directory into which pc-files are installed, do not use
3929	  the pkg-config environment variables (discussion with Frederic L W
3930	  Meunier).
3931	+ add link to mailing-list archive in announce.html.in, as done in
3932	  FAQ (prompted by question by Andrius Bentkus).
3933	+ improve manpage install by adjusting the "#include" examples to
3934	  show the ncurses-subdirectory used when --disable-overwrite option
3935	  is used.
3936	+ install an alias for "curses" to the ncurses manpage, tied to the
3937	  --with-curses-h configure option (suggested by Reuben Thomas).
3938
393920110903
3940	+ propagate error-returns from wresize, i.e., the internal
3941	  increase_size and decrease_size functions through resize_term (report
3942	  by Tim van der Molen, cf:  20020713).
3943	+ fix typo in tset manpage (patch by Sven Joachim).
3944
394520110820
3946	+ add a check to ensure that termcap files which might have "^?" do
3947	  not use the terminfo interpretation as "\177".
3948	+ minor cleanup of X-terminal emulator section of terminfo.src -TD
3949	+ add terminator entry -TD
3950	+ add simpleterm entry -TD
3951	+ improve wattr_get macros by ensuring that if the window pointer is
3952	  null, then the attribute and color values returned will be zero
3953	  (cf: 20110528).
3954
395520110813
3956	+ add substitution for $RPATH_LIST to misc/ncurses-config.in
3957	+ improve performance of tic with hashed-database by caching the
3958	  database connection, using atexit() to cleanup.
3959	+ modify treatment of 2-character aliases at the beginning of termcap
3960	  entries so they are not counted in use-resolution, since these are
3961	  guaranteed to be unique.  Also ignore these aliases when reporting
3962	  the primary name of the entry (cf: 20040501)
3963	+ double-check gn (generic) flag in terminal descriptions to
3964	  accommodate old/buggy termcap databases which misused that feature.
3965	+ minor fixes to _nc_tgetent(), ensure buffer is initialized even on
3966	  error-return.
3967
396820110807
3969	+ improve rpath fix from 20110730 by ensuring that the new $RPATH_LIST
3970	  variable is defined in the makefiles which use it.
3971	+ build-fix for DragonFlyBSD's pkgsrc in test/configure script.
3972	+ build-fixes for NetBSD 5.1 with termcap support enabled.
3973	+ corrected k9 in dg460-ansi, add other features based on manuals -TD
3974	+ improve trimming of whitespace at the end of terminfo/termcap output
3975	  from tic/infocmp.
3976	+ when writing termcap source, ensure that colons in the description
3977	  field are translated to a non-delimiter, i.e., "=".
3978	+ add "-0" option to tic/infocmp, to make the termcap/terminfo source
3979	  use a single line.
3980	+ add a null-pointer check when handling the $CC variable.
3981
398220110730
3983	+ modify configure script and makefiles in c++ and progs to allow the
3984	  directory used for rpath option to be overridden, e.g., to work
3985	  around updates to the variables used by tic during an install.
3986	+ add -K option to tic/infocmp, to provide stricter BSD-compatibility
3987	  for termcap output.
3988	+ add _nc_strict_bsd variable in tic library which controls the
3989	  "strict" BSD termcap compatibility from 20110723, plus these
3990	  features:
3991	  + allow escapes such as "\8" and "\9" when reading termcap
3992	  + disallow "\a", "\e", "\l", "\s" and "\:" escapes when reading
3993	    termcap files, passing through "a", "e", etc.
3994	  + expand "\:" as "\072" on output.
3995	+ modify _nc_get_token() to reset the token's string value in case
3996	  there is a string-typed token lacking the "=" marker.
3997	+ fix a few memory leaks in _nc_tgetent.
3998	+ fix a few places where reading from a termcap file could refer to
3999	  freed memory.
4000	+ add an overflow check when converting terminfo/termcap numeric
4001	  values, since terminfo stores those in a short, and they must be
4002	  positive.
4003	+ correct internal variables used for translating to termcap "%>"
4004	  feature, and translating from termcap %B to terminfo, needed by
4005	  tctest (cf: 19991211).
4006	+ amend a minor fix to acsc when loading a termcap file to separate it
4007	  from warnings needed for tic (cf: 20040710)
4008	+ modify logic in _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_tic_entry() to allow
4009	  a termcap file to be handled via TERMINFO_DIRS.
4010	+ modify _nc_infotocap() to include non-mandatory padding when
4011	  translating to termcap.
4012	+ modify _nc_read_termcap_entry(), passing a flag in the case where
4013	  getcap is used, to reduce interactive warning messages.
4014
401520110723
4016	+ add a check in start_color() to limit color-pairs to 256 when
4017	  extended colors are not supported (patch by David Benjamin).
4018	+ modify setcchar to omit no-longer-needed OR'ing of color pair in
4019	  the SetAttr() macro (patch by David Benjamin).
4020	+ add kich1 to sun terminfo entry (Yuri Pankov)
4021	+ use bold rather than reverse for smso in sun-color terminfo entry
4022	  (Yuri Pankov).
4023	+ improve generation of termcap using tic/infocmp -C option, e.g.,
4024	  to correspond with 4.2BSD (prompted by discussion with Yuri Pankov
4025	  regarding Schilling's test program):
4026	  + translate %02 and %03 to %2 and %3 respectively.
4027	  + suppress string capabilities which use %s, not supported by tgoto
4028	  + use \040 rather than \s
4029	  + expand null characters as \200 rather than \0
4030	+ modify configure script to support shared libraries for DragonFlyBSD.
4031
403220110716
4033	+ replace an assert() in _nc_Free_Argument() with a regular null
4034	  pointer check (report/analysis by Franjo Ivancic).
4035	+ modify configure --enable-pc-files option to take into account the
4036	  PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
4037	+ add/use xterm+tmux chunk from xterm #271 -TD
4038	+ resync xterm-new entry from xterm #271 -TD
4039	+ add E3 extended capability to linux-basic (Miroslav Lichvar)
4040	+ add linux2.2, linux2.6, linux3.0 entries to give context for E3 -TD
4041	+ add SI/SO change to linux2.6 entry (Debian #515609) -TD
4042	+ fix inconsistent tabset path in pcmw (Todd C. Miller).
4043	+ remove a backslash which continued comment, obscuring altos3
4044	  definition with OpenBSD toolset (Nicholas Marriott).
4045
404620110702
4047	+ add workaround from xterm #271 changes to ensure that compiler flags
4048	  are not used in the $CC variable.
4049	+ improve support for shared libraries, tested with AIX 5.3, 6.1 and
4050	  7.1 with both gcc 4.2.4 and cc.
4051	+ modify configure checks for AIX to include release 7.x
4052	+ add loader flags/libraries to libtool options so that dynamic loading
4053	  works properly, adapted from ncurses-5.7-ldflags-with-libtool.patch
4054	  at gentoo prefix repository (patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
4055
405620110626
4057	+ move include of nc_termios.h out of term_entry.h, since the latter
4058	  is installed, e.g., for tack while the former is not (report by
4059	  Sven Joachim).
4060
406120110625
4062	+ improve cleanup() function in lib_tstp.c, using _exit() rather than
4063	  exit() and checking for SIGTERM rather than SIGQUIT (prompted by
4064	  comments forwarded by Nicholas Marriott).
4065	+ reduce name pollution from term.h, moving fallback #define's for
4066	  tcgetattr(), etc., to new private header nc_termios.h (report by
4067	  Sergio NNX).
4068	+ two minor fixes for tracing (patch by Vassili Courzakis).
4069	+ improve trace initialization by starting it in use_env() and
4070	  ripoffline().
4071	+ review old email, add details for some changelog entries.
4072
407320110611
4074	+ update minix entry to minix 3.2 (Thomas Cort).
4075	+ fix a strict compiler warning in change to wattr_get (cf: 20110528).
4076
407720110604
4078	+ fixes for MirBSD port:
4079	  + set default prefix to /usr.
4080	  + add support for shared libraries in configure script.
4081	  + use S_ISREG and S_ISDIR consistently, with fallback definitions.
4082	+ add a few more checks based on ncurses/link_test.
4083	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle sp-funcs renaming of NCURSES_OUTC type.
4084
408520110528
4086	+ add case to CF_SHARED_OPTS for Interix (patch by Markus Duft).
4087	+ used ncurses/link_test to check for behavior when the terminal has
4088	  not been initialized and when an application passes null pointers
4089	  to the library.  Added checks to cover this (prompted by Redhat
4090	  #707344).
4091	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to make its main() function call each function
4092	  with zero parameters, to help find inconsistent checking for null
4093	  pointers, etc.
4094
409520110521
4096	+ fix warnings from clang 2.7 "--analyze"
4097
409820110514
4099	+ compiler-warning fixes in panel and progs.
4100	+ modify CF_PKG_CONFIG macro, from changes to tin -TD
4101	+ modify CF_CURSES_FUNCS configure macro, used in test directory
4102	  configure script:
4103	  + work around (non-optimizer) bug in gcc 4.2.1 which caused
4104	    test-expression to be omitted from executable.
4105	  + force the linker to see a link-time expression of a symbol, to
4106	    help work around weak-symbol issues.
4107
410820110507
4109	+ update discussion of MKfallback.sh script in INSTALL; normally the
4110	  script is used automatically via the configured makefiles.  However
4111	  there are still occasions when it might be used directly by packagers
4112	  (report by Gunter Schaffler).
4113	+ modify misc/ncurses-config.in to omit the "-L" option from the
4114	  "--libs" output if the library directory is /usr/lib.
4115	+ change order of tests for curses.h versus ncurses.h headers in the
4116	  configure scripts for Ada95 and test-directories, to look for
4117	  ncurses.h, from fixes to tin -TD

4119	  (report by Joachim Schmitz).
4120
412120110430
4122	+ modify rules in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to ensure that the PIC option
4123	  is not used when building a static library (report by Nicolas
4124	  Boulenguez):
4125	+ Ada95 build-fix for big-endian architectures such as sparc.  This
4126	  undoes one of the fixes from 20110319, which added an "Unused" member
4127	  to representation clauses, replacing that with pragmas to suppress
4128	  warnings about unused bits (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
4129
413020110423
4131	+ add check in test/configure for use_window, use_screen.

4134	+ add check in test/configure for some legacy curses types of the
4135	  function pointer passed to tputs().
4136	+ modify init_pair() to accept -1's for color value after
4137	  assume_default_colors() has been called (Debian #337095).
4138	+ modify test/background.c, adding commmand-line options to demonstrate
4139	  assume_default_colors() and use_default_colors().
4140
414120110416
4142	+ modify configure script/source-code to only define _POSIX_SOURCE if
4143	  the checks for sigaction and/or termios fail, and if _POSIX_C_SOURCE
4144	  and _XOPEN_SOURCE are undefined (report by Valentin Ochs).
4145	+ update config.guess, config.sub
4146

4151	  some ncurses packages.
4152	+ add "--disable-widec" option to test/configure script.
4153	+ add "--with-curses-colr" and "--with-curses-5lib" options to the
4154	  test/configure script to address testing with very old machines.
4155
415620110404 5.9 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
4157
415820110402
4159	+ various build-fixes for the rpm/dpkg scripts.
4160	+ add "--enable-rpath-link" option to Ada95/configure, to allow
4161	  packages to suppress the rpath feature which is normally used for
4162	  the in-tree build of sample programs.
4163	+ corrected definition of libdir variable in Ada95/src/Makefile.in,
4164	  needed for rpm script.
4165	+ add "--with-shared" option to Ada95/configure script, to allow
4166	  making the C-language parts of the binding use appropriate compiler
4167	  options if building a shared library with gnat.
4168
416920110329
4170	> portability fixes for Ada95 binding:
4171	+ add configure check to ensure that SIGINT works with gnat.  This is
4172	  needed for the "rain" sample program.  If SIGINT does not work, omit
4173	  that sample program.
4174	+ correct typo in check of $PKG_CONFIG variable in Ada95/configure
4175	+ add ncurses_compat.c, to supply functions used in the Ada95 binding
4176	  which were added in 5.7 and later.
4177	+ modify sed expression in CF_NCURSES_ADDON to eliminate a dependency
4178	  upon GNU sed.
4179
418020110326

4190	  libraries, i.e., collections of .ali files.
4191	+ make all dereferences in Ada95 samples explicit.
4192	+ fix typo in comment in lib_add_wch.c (patch by Petr Pavlu).
4193	+ add configure check for, ifdef's for math.h which is in a separate
4194	  package on Solaris and potentially not installed (report by Petr
4195	  Pavlu).
4196	> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
4197	+ improve type-checking in Ada95 by eliminating a few warning-suppress
4198	  pragmas.
4199	+ suppress unreferenced warnings.
4200	+ make all dereferences in binding explicit.
4201
420220110319
4203	+ regen Ada html documentation.
4204	+ change order of -I options from ncurses*-config script when the
4205	  --disable-overwrite option was used, so that the subdirectory include
4206	  is listed first.
4207	+ modify the make-tar.sh scripts to add a MANIFEST and NEWS file.
4208	+ modify configure script to provide value for HTML_DIR in
4209	  Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, which depends on whether the Ada95 binding is
4210	  distributed separately (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
4211	+ modify configure script to add "-g" and/or "-O3" to ADAFLAGS if the
4212	  CFLAGS for the build has these options.
4213	+ amend change from 20070324, to not add 1 to the result of getmaxx
4214	  and getmaxy in the Ada binding (report by Nicolas Boulenguez for
4215	  thread in comp.lang.ada).
4216	+ build-fix Ada95/samples for gnat 4.5
4217	+ spelling fixes for Ada95/samples/explain.txt
4218	> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
4219	+ add item in Trace_Attribute_Set corresponding to TRACE_ATTRS.
4220	+ add workaround for binding to set_field_type(), which uses varargs.
4221	  The original binding from 990220 relied on the prevalent
4222	  implementation of varargs which did not support or need va_copy().
4223	+ add dependency on gen/Makefile.in needed for *-panels.ads
4224	+ add Library_Options to library.gpr
4225	+ add Languages to library.gpr, for gprbuild
4226
422720110307
4228	+ revert changes to limit-checks from 20110122 (Debian #616711).
4229	> minor type-cleanup of Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
4230	+ corrected a minor sign error in a field of Low_Level_Field_Type, to
4231	  conform to form.h.
4232	+ replaced C_Int by Curses_Bool as return type for some callbacks, see
4233	  fieldtype(3FORM).
4234	+ modify samples/sample-explain.adb to provide explicit message when
4235	  explain.txt is not found.
4236
423720110305
4238	+ improve makefiles for Ada95 tree (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).

4252	  a new install of hashed database.
4253	+ fix typo in Ada95/mk-1st.awk which causes error with original awk.
4254
425520110220
4256	+ configure script rpath fixes from xterm #269.

4267
426820110205
4269	+ add xterm-utf8 entry as a demo of the U8 feature -TD
4270	+ add U8 feature to denote entries for terminal emulators which do not
4271	  support VT100 SI/SO when processing UTF-8 encoding -TD
4272	+ improve the NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS feature by adding a check for an
4273	  extended terminfo capability U8 (prompted by mailing list

4349	  rpath feature (request by Sven Joachim).
4350	+ repurpose "gnome" terminfo entries as "vte", retaining "gnome" items
4351	  for compatibility, but generally deprecating those since the VTE
4352	  library is what actually defines the behavior of "gnome", etc.,
4353	  since 2003 -TD

4373	  more closely match the non-thread naming (report by Werner Fink).
4374	+ modify configure check for tic program, used for fallbacks, to a
4375	  warning if not found.  This makes it simpler to use additional

4447	  descriptions from text-files (Debian #593920).
4448	+ improve acsc string for vt52, show arrow keys (patch by Benjamin
4449	  Sittler).
4450
445120100814
4452	+ document in manpages that "mv" functions first use wmove() to check
4453	  the window pointer and whether the position lies within the window
4454	  (suggested by Poul-Henning Kamp).

4520	+ update Ada95/configure.
4521	+ add mlterm+256color entry, for mlterm 3.0.0 -TD
4522	+ modify test/configure to use macros to ensure consistent order
4523	  of updating LIBS variable.
4524
452520100605
4526	+ change search order of options for Solaris in CF_SHARED_OPTS, to
4527	  work with 64-bit compiles.
4528	+ correct quoting of assignment in CF_SHARED_OPTS case for aix
4529	  (cf: 20081227)
4530
453120100529
4532	+ regenerated html documentation.
4533	+ modify test/configure to support pkg-config for checking X libraries
4534	  used by PDCurses.
4535	+ add/use configure macro CF_ADD_LIB to force consistency of
4536	  assignments to $LIBS, etc.
4537	+ fix configure script for combining --with-pthread
4538	  and --enable-weak-symbols options.
4539
454020100522
4541	+ correct cross-compiling configure check for CF_MKSTEMP macro, by
4542	  adding a check cache variable set by AC_CHECK_FUNC (report by
4543	  Pierre Labastie).
4544	+ simplify include-dependencies of make_hash and make_keys, to reduce
4545	  the need for setting BUILD_CPPFLAGS in cross-compiling when the
4546	  build- and target-machines differ.
4547	+ repair broken-linker configuration by restoring a definition of SP
4548	  variable to curses.priv.h, and adjusting for cases where sp-funcs
4549	  are used.
4550	+ improve configure macro CF_AR_FLAGS, allowing ARFLAGS environment
4551	  variable to override (prompted by report by Pablo Cazallas).
4552
455320100515
4554	+ add configure option --enable-pthreads-eintr to control whether the
4555	  new EINTR feature is enabled.
4556	+ modify logic in pthread configuration to allow EINTR to interrupt
4557	  a read operation in wgetch() (Novell #540571, patch by Werner Fink).
4558	+ drop mkdirs.sh, use "mkdir -p".
4559	+ add configure option --disable-libtool-version, to use the
4560	  "-version-number" feature which was added in libtool 1.5 (report by
4561	  Peter Haering).  The default value for the option uses the newer
4562	  feature, which makes libraries generated using libtool compatible
4563	  with the standard builds of ncurses.
4564	+ updated test/configure to match configure script macros.
4565	+ fixes for configure script from lynx changes:
4566	  + improve CF_FIND_LINKAGE logic for the case where a function is
4567	    found in predefined libraries.
4568	  + revert part of change to CF_HEADER (cf: 20100424)
4569
457020100501
4571	+ correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for begy/begx values
4572	  (patch by David Benjamin).
4573	+ fix most compiler warnings from clang.
4574	+ amend build-fix for OpenSolaris, to ensure that a system header is
4575	  included in curses.h before testing feature symbols, since they
4576	  may be defined by that route.
4577
457820100424
4579	+ fix some strict compiler warnings in ncurses library.
4580	+ modify configure macro CF_HEADER_PATH to not look for variations in
4581	  the predefined include directories.
4582	+ improve configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GCC_WARNINGS to work
4583	  with gcc 4.x's c89 alias, which gives warning messages for cases
4584	  where older versions would produce an error.
4585
458620100417
4587	+ modify _nc_capcmp() to work with cancelled strings.
4588	+ correct translation of "^" in _nc_infotocap(), used to transform
4589	  terminfo to termcap strings
4590	+ add configure --disable-rpath-hack, to allow disabling the feature
4591	  which adds rpath options for libraries in unusual places.
4592	+ improve CF_RPATH_HACK_2 by checking if the rpath option for a given
4593	  directory was already added.
4594	+ improve CF_RPATH_HACK_2 by using ldd to provide a standard list of
4595	  directories (which will be ignored).
4596
459720100410
4598	+ improve win_driver.c handling of mouse:
4599	  + discard motion events
4600	  + avoid calling _nc_timed_wait when there is a mouse event
4601	  + handle 4th and "rightmost" buttons.
4602	+ quote substitutions in CF_RPATH_HACK_2 configure macro, needed for
4603	  cases where there are embedded blanks in the rpath option.
4604
460520100403
4606	+ add configure check for exctags vs ctags, to work around pkgsrc.
4607	+ simplify logic in _nc_get_screensize() to make it easier to see how
4608	  environment variables may override system- and terminfo-values
4609	  (prompted by discussion with Igor Bujna).
4610	+ make debug-traces for COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER less verbose.
4611	+ improve handling of color-pairs embedded in attributes for the
4612	  extended-colors configuration.
4613	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to build link_test with sp-funcs.
4614	+ build-fixes for OpenSolaris aka Solaris 11, for wide-character
4615	  configuration as well as for rpath feature in *-config scripts.
4616
461720100327
4618	+ refactor CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro, making CF_RPATH_HACK more
4619	  reusable.
4620	+ improve configure CF_REGEX, similar fixes.
4621	+ improve configure CF_FIND_LINKAGE, adding add check between system
4622	  (default) and explicit paths, where we can find the entrypoint in the
4623	  given library.
4624	+ add check if Gpm_Open() returns a -2, e.g., for "xterm".  This is
4625	  normally suppressed but can be overridden using $NCURSES_GPM_TERMS.
4626	  Ensure that Gpm_Close() is called in this case.
4627
462820100320
4629	+ rename atari and st52 terminfo entries to atari-old, st52-old, use
4630	  newer entries from FreeMiNT by Guido Flohr (from patch/report by Alan
4631	  Hourihane).
4632
463320100313
4634	+ modify install-rule for manpages so that *-config manpages will
4635	  install when building with --srcdir (report by Sven Joachim).
4636	+ modify CF_DISABLE_LEAKS configure macro so that the --enable-leaks
4637	  option is not the same as --disable-leaks (GenToo #305889).
4638	+ modify #define's for build-compiler to suppress cchar_t symbol from
4639	  compile of make_hash and make_keys, improving cross-compilation of
4640	  ncursesw (report by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
4641	+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to replace all occurrences of
4642	  TPUT in tput.1's manpage (Debian #573597, report/analysis by Anders
4643	  Kaseorg).
4644
464520100306
4646	+ generate manpages for the *-config scripts, adapted from help2man
4647	  (suggested by Sven Joachim).
4648	+ use va_copy() in _nc_printf_string() to avoid conflicting use of
4649	  va_list value in _nc_printf_length() (report by Wim Lewis).
4650
465120100227
4652	+ add Ada95/configure script, to use in tar-file created by
4653	  Ada95/make-tar.sh
4654	+ fix typo in wresize.3x (patch by Tim van der Molen).
4655	+ modify screen-bce.XXX entries to exclude ech, since screen's color
4656	  model does not clear with color for that feature -TD
4657
465820100220
4659	+ add make-tar.sh scripts to Ada95 and test subdirectories to help with
4660	  making those separately distributable.
4661	+ build-fix for static libraries without dlsym (Debian #556378).
4662	+ fix a syntax error in man/form_field_opts.3x (patch by Ingo
4663	  Schwarze).
4664
466520100213
4666	+ add several screen-bce.XXX entries -TD
4667
466820100206
4669	+ update mrxvt terminfo entry -TD
4670	+ modify win_driver.c to support mouse single-clicks.
4671	+ correct name for termlib in ncurses*-config, e.g., if it is renamed
4672	  to provide a single file for ncurses/ncursesw libraries (patch by
4673	  Miroslav Lichvar).
4674
467520100130
4676	+ use vfork in test/ditto.c if available (request by Mike Frysinger).
4677	+ miscellaneous cleanup of manpages.
4678	+ fix typo in curs_bkgd.3x (patch by Tim van der Molen).
4679	+ build-fix for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
4680
468120100123
4682	+ for term-driver configuration, ensure that the driver pointer is
4683	  initialized in setupterm so that terminfo/termcap programs work.
4684	+ amend fix for Debian #542031 to ensure that wattrset() returns only
4685	  OK or ERR, rather than the attribute value (report by Miroslav
4686	  Lichvar).
4687	+ reorder WINDOWLIST to put WINDOW data after SCREEN pointer, making
4688	  _nc_screen_of() compatible between normal/wide libraries again (patch
4689	  by Miroslav Lichvar)
4690	+ review/fix include-dependencies in modules files (report by Miroslav
4691	  Lichvar).
4692
469320100116
4694	+ modify win_driver.c to initialize acs_map for win32 console, so
4695	  that line-drawing works.
4696	+ modify win_driver.c to initialize TERMINAL struct so that programs
4697	  such as test/lrtest.c and test/ncurses.c which test string
4698	  capabilities can run.
4699	+ modify term-driver modules to eliminate forward-reference
4700	  declarations.
4701
470220100109
4703	+ modify configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., to use CF_ADD_CFLAGS
4704	  consistently to add new -D's while removing duplicates.
4705	+ modify a few configure macros to consistently put new options
4706	  before older in the list.
4707	+ add tiparm(), based on review of X/Open Curses Issue 7.
4708	+ minor documentation cleanup.
4709	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
4710		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
4711	  (caveat - its maintainer put 2010 copyright date on files dated 2009)
4712
471320100102
4714	+ minor improvement to tic's checking of similar SGR's to allow for the
4715	  most common case of SGR 0.
4716	+ modify getmouse() to act as its documentation implied, returning on
4717	  each call the preceding event until none are left.  When no more
4718	  events remain, it will return ERR.
4719
472020091227
4721	+ change order of lookup in progs/tput.c, looking for terminfo data
4722	  first.  This fixes a confusion between termcap "sg" and terminfo
4723	  "sgr" or "sgr0", originally from 990123 changes, but exposed by
4724	  20091114 fixes for hashing.  With this change, only "dl" and "ed" are
4725	  ambiguous (Mandriva #56272).
4726
472720091226
4728	+ add bterm terminfo entry, based on bogl 0.1.18 -TD
4729	+ minor fix to rxvt+pcfkeys terminfo entry -TD
4730	+ build-fixes for Ada95 tree for gnat 4.4 "style".
4731
473220091219
4733	+ remove old check in mvderwin() which prevented moving a derived
4734	  window whose origin happened to coincide with its parent's origin
4735	  (report by Katarina Machalkova).
4736	+ improve test/ncurses.c to put mouse droppings in the proper window.
4737	+ update minix terminfo entry -TD
4738	+ add bw (auto-left-margin) to nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler)
4739
474020091212
4741	+ correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
4742	  field_buffer(), which stopped at the end of the first row due to
4743	  filling of unused entries in a cchar_t array with nulls.
4744	+ updated nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler, Emanuele Giaquinta)
4745	+ modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to show wide-character
4746	  nulls.
4747	+ use strdup() in set_menu_mark(), restore .marklen struct member on
4748	  failure.
4749	+ eliminate clause 3 from the UCB copyrights in read_termcap.c and
4750	  tset.c per
4751		ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change
4752	  (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
4753	+ replace a malloc in tic.c with strdup, checking for failure (patch by
4754	  Nicholas Marriott).
4755	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
4756		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
4757
475820091205
4759	+ correct layout of working window used to extract data in
4760	  wide-character configured by set_field_buffer (patch by Rafael
4761	  Garrido Fernandez)
4762	+ improve some limit-checks related to filename length in reading and
4763	  writing terminfo entries.
4764	+ ensure that filename is always filled in when attempting to read
4765	  a terminfo entry, so that infocmp can report the filename (patch
4766	  by Nicholas Marriott).
4767
476820091128
4769	+ modify mk-1st.awk to allow tinfo library to be built when term-driver
4770	  is enabled.
4771	+ add error-check to configure script to ensure that sp-funcs is
4772	  enabled if term-driver is, since some internal interfaces rely upon
4773	  this.
4774
477520091121
4776	+ fix case where progs/tput is used while sp-funcs is configure; this
4777	  requires save/restore of out-character function from _nc_prescreen
4778	  rather than the SCREEN structure (report by Charles Wilson).
4779	+ fix typo in man/curs_trace.3x which caused incorrect symbolic links
4780	+ improved configure macros CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_PROG_LINT.
4781
478220091114
4783	+ updated man/curs_trace.3x
4784	+ limit hashing for termcap-names to 2-characters (Ubuntu #481740).
4785	+ change a variable name in lib_newwin.c to make it clearer which
4786	  value is being freed on error (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
4787
478820091107
4789	+ improve test/ncurses.c color-cycling test by reusing attribute-
4790	  and color-cycling logic from the video-attributes screen.
4791	+ add ifdef'd with NCURSES_INTEROP_FUNCS experimental bindings in form
4792	  library which help make it compatible with interop applications
4793	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
4794	+ add configure option --enable-interop, for integrating changes
4795	  for generic/interop support to form-library by Juergen Pfeifer
4796
479720091031
4798	+ modify use of $CC environment variable which is defined by X/Open
4799	  as a curses feature, to ignore it if it is not a single character
4800	  (prompted by discussion with Benjamin C W Sittler).
4801	+ add START_TRACE in slk_init
4802	+ fix a regression in _nc_ripoffline which made test/ncurses.c not show
4803	  soft-keys, broken in 20090927 merging.
4804	+ change initialization of "hidden" flag for soft-keys from true to
4805	  false, broken in 20090704 merging (Ubuntu #464274).
4806	+ update nsterm entries (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler, prompted by
4807	  discussion with Fabian Groffen in GenToo #206201).
4808	+ add test/xterm-256color.dat
4809
481020091024
4811	+ quiet some pedantic gcc warnings.
4812	+ modify _nc_wgetch() to check for a -1 in the fifo, e.g., after a
4813	  SIGWINCH, and discard that value, to avoid confusing application
4814	  (patch by Eygene Ryabinkin, FreeBSD #136223).
4815
481620091017
4817	+ modify handling of $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to use only the first item in
4818	  a possibly colon-separated list (Debian #550716).
4819
482020091010
4821	+ supply a null-terminator to buffer in _nc_viswibuf().
4822	+ fix a sign-extension bug in unget_wch() (report by Mike Gran).
4823	+ minor fixes to error-returns in default function for tputs, as well
4824	  as in lib_screen.c
4825
482620091003
4827	+ add WACS_xxx definitions to wide-character configuration for thick-
4828	  and double-lines (discussion with Slava Zanko).
4829	+ remove unnecessary kcan assignment to ^C from putty (Sven Joachim)
4830	+ add ccc and initc capabilities to xterm-16color -TD
4831	> patch by Benjamin C W Sittler:
4832	+ add linux-16color
4833	+ correct initc capability of linux-c-nc end-of-range
4834	+ similar change for dg+ccc and dgunix+ccc
4835
483620090927
4837	+ move leak-checking for comp_captab.c into _nc_leaks_tinfo() since
4838	  that module since 20090711 is in libtinfo.
4839	+ add configure option --enable-term-driver, to allow compiling with
4840	  terminal-driver.  That is used in MinGW port, and (being somewhat
4841	  more complicated) is an experimental alternative to the conventional
4842	  termlib internals.  Currently, it requires the sp-funcs feature to
4843	  be enabled.
4844	+ completed integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer in ncurses
4845	  library (some work remains for forms library).
4846
484720090919
4848	+ document return code from define_key (report by Mike Gran).
4849	+ make some symbolic links in the terminfo directory-tree shorter
4850	  (patch by Daniel Jacobowitz, forwarded by Sven Joachim).).
4851	+ fix some groff warnings in terminfo.5, etc., from recent Debian
4852	  changes.
4853	+ change ncv and op capabilities in sun-color terminfo entry to match
4854	  Sun's entry for this (report by Laszlo Peter).
4855	+ improve interix smso terminfo capability by using reverse rather than
4856	  bold (report by Kristof Zelechovski).
4857
485820090912
4859	+ add some test programs (and make these use the same special keys
4860	  by sharing linedata.h functions):
4861	  test/test_addstr.c
4862	  test/test_addwstr.c
4863	  test/test_addchstr.c
4864	  test/test_add_wchstr.c
4865	+ correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when
4866	  inserting wide characters, since the wins_wch() function that it used
4867	  did not update the cursor position (report by Ciprian Craciun).
4868
486920090906
4870	+ fix typo s/is_timeout/is_notimeout/ which made "man is_notimeout" not
4871	  work.
4872	+ add null-pointer checks to other opaque-functions.
4873	+ add is_pad() and is_subwin() functions for opaque access to WINDOW
4874	  (discussion with Mark Dickinson).
4875	+ correct merge to lib_newterm.c, which broke when sp-funcs was
4876	  enabled.
4877
487820090905
4879	+ build-fix for building outside source-tree (report by Sven Joachim).
4880	+ fix Debian lintian warning for man/tabs.1 by making section number
4881	  agree with file-suffix (report by Sven Joachim).
4882	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
4883
488420090829
4885	+ workaround for bug in g++ 4.1-4.4 warnings for wattrset() macro on
4886	  amd64 (Debian #542031).
4887	+ fix typo in curs_mouse.3x (Debian #429198).
4888
488920090822
4890	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
4891
489220090815
4893	+ correct use of terminfo capabilities for initializing soft-keys,
4894	  broken in 20090510 merging.
4895	+ modify wgetch() to ensure it checks SIGWINCH when it gets an error
4896	  in non-blocking mode (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
4897	+ use PATH_SEPARATOR symbol when substituting into run_tic.sh, to
4898	  help with builds on non-Unix platforms such as OS/2 EMX.
4899	+ modify scripting for misc/run_tic.sh to test configure script's
4900	  $cross_compiling variable directly rather than comparing host/build
4901	  compiler names (prompted by comment in GenToo #249363).
4902	+ fix configure script option --with-database, which was coded as an
4903	  enable-type switch.
4904	+ build-fixes for --srcdir (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
4905
490620090808
4907	+ separate _nc_find_entry() and _nc_find_type_entry() from
4908	  implementation details of hash function.
4909
491020090803
4911	+ add tabs.1 to man/man_db.renames
4912	+ modify lib_addch.c to compensate for removal of wide-character test
4913	  from unctrl() in 20090704 (Debian #539735).
4914
491520090801
4916	+ improve discussion in INSTALL for use of system's tic/infocmp for
4917	  cross-compiling and building fallbacks.
4918	+ modify test/demo_termcap.c to correspond better to options in
4919	  test/demo_terminfo.c
4920	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
4921	+ fix logic for 'V' in test/ncurses.c tests f/F.
4922
492320090728
4924	+ correct logic in tigetnum(), which caused tput program to treat all
4925	  string capabilities as numeric (report by Rajeev V Pillai,
4926	  cf: 20090711).
4927
492820090725
4929	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
4930
493120090718
4932	+ fix a null-pointer check in _nc_format_slks() in lib_slk.c, from
4933	  20090704 changes.
4934	+ modify _nc_find_type_entry() to use hashing.
4935	+ make CCHARW_MAX value configurable, noting that changing this would
4936	  change the size of cchar_t, and would be ABI-incompatible.
4937	+ modify test-programs, e.g,.  test/view.c, to address subtle

4984	+ work around antique BSD game's manipulation of stdscr, etc., versus
4985	  SCREEN's copy of the pointer (Debian #528411).
4986	+ add a cast to wattrset macro to avoid compiler warning when comparing
4987	  its result against ERR (adapted from patch by Matt Kraii, Debian
4988	  #528374).
4989
499020090510

5010	  part of the form library.
5011
501220090404
5013	+ suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on
5014	  Darwin (report by Nelson Beebe).
5015
501620090328
5017	+ extend ansi.sys pfkey capability from kf1-kf10 to kf1-kf48, moving
5018	  function key definitions from emx-base for consistency -TD

5020	  by Kalle Olavi Niemitalo).
5021	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'F' test, show combining characters in color.
5022	+ quiet a false report by cppcheck in c++/cursesw.cc by eliminating
5023	  a temporary variable.
5024	+ use _nc_doalloc() rather than realloc() in a few places in ncurses
5025	  library to avoid leak in out-of-memory condition (reports by William
5026	  Egert and Martin Ettl based on cppcheck tool).
5027	+ add --with-ncurses-wrap-prefix option to test/configure (discussion
5028	  with Charles Wilson).
5029	+ use ncurses*-config scripts if available for test/configure.
5030	+ update test/aclocal.m4 and test/configure
5031	> patches by Charles Wilson:
5032	+ modify CF_WITH_LIBTOOL configure check to allow unreleased libtool
5033	  version numbers (e.g.  which include alphabetic chars, as well as
5034	  digits, after the final '.').
5035	+ improve use of -no-undefined option for libtool by setting an
5036	  intermediate variable LT_UNDEF in the configure script, and then
5037	  using that in the libtool link-commands.
5038	+ fix an missing use of NCURSES_PUBLIC_VAR() in tinfo/MKcodes.awk
5039	  from 20090321 changes.
5040	+ improve mk-1st.awk script by writing separate cases for the
5041	  LIBTOOL_LINK command, depending on which library (ncurses, ticlib,
5042	  termlib) is to be linked.
5043	+ modify configure.in to allow broken-linker configurations, not just
5044	  enable-reentrant, to set public wrap prefix.
5045
504620090321
5047	+ add TICS_LIST and SHLIB_LIST to allow libtool 2.2.6 on Cygwin to
5048	  build with tic and term libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).
5049	+ add -no-undefined option to libtool for Cygwin, MinGW, U/Win and AIX
5050	  (report by Charles Wilson).
5051	+ fix definition for c++/Makefile.in's SHLIB_LIST, which did not list
5052	  the form, menu or panel libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).
5053	+ add configure option --with-wrap-prefix to allow setting the prefix
5054	  for functions used to wrap global variables to something other than
5055	  "_nc_" (discussion with Charles Wilson).
5056
505720090314
5058	+ modify scripts to generate ncurses*-config and pc-files to add
5059	  dependency for tinfo library (patch by Charles Wilson).
5060	+ improve comparison of program-names when checking for linked flavors
5061	  such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix (reports by Charles
5062	  Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing
5063	  list).
5064	+ suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on
5065	  Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static libc, and
5066	  does not switch back to dynamic mode before finishing the libraries
5067	  (reports by Joel Bertrand, Alan Pae).
5068	+ minor fixes to Intel compiler warning checks in configure script.
5069	+ modify _nc_leaks_tinfo() so leak-checking in test/railroad.c works.
5070	+ modify set_curterm() to make broken-linker configuration work with
5071	  changes from 20090228 (report by Charles Wilson).
5072
507320090228
5074	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
5075	+ modify declaration of cur_term when broken-linker is used, but
5076	  enable-reentrant is not, to match pre-5.7 (report by Charles Wilson).
5077
507820090221
5079	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
5080
508120090214
5082	+ add configure script --enable-sp-funcs to enable the new set of
5083	  extended functions.
5084	+ start integrating patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
5085	  + add extended functions which specify the SCREEN pointer for several
5086	    curses functions which use the global SP (these are incomplete;
5087	    some internals work is needed to complete these).
5088	  + add special cases to configure script for MinGW port.
5089
509020090207
5091	+ update several configure macros from lynx changes
5092	  + append (not prepend) to CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS
5093	  + change variable from PATHSEP to PATH_SEPARATOR
5094	+ improve install-rules for pc-files (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
5095	  + make it work with $DESTDIR
5096	  + create the pkg-config library directory if needed.
5097
509820090124
5099	+ modify init_pair() to allow caller to create extra color pairs beyond
5100	  the color_pairs limit, which use default colors (request by Emanuele
5101	  Giaquinta).
5102	+ add misc/terminfo.tmp and misc/*.pc to "sources" rule.
5103	+ fix typo "==" where "=" is needed in ncurses-config.in and
5104	  gen-pkgconfig.in files (Debian #512161).
5105
510620090117
5107	+ add -shared option to MK_SHARED_LIB when -Bsharable is used, for
5108	  *BSD's, without which "main" might be one of the shared library's
5109	  dependencies (report/analysis by Ken Dickey).
5110	+ modify waddch_literal(), updating line-pointer after a multicolumn
5111	  character is found to not fit on the current row, and wrapping is
5112	  done.  Since the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped
5113	  multicolumn character was written to the beginning of the current row
5114	  (cf: 20041023, reported by "Nick" regarding problem with ncmpc
5115	  http://musicpd.org/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1930).
5116
511720090110
5118	+ add screen.Eterm terminfo entry (GenToo #124887) -TD
5119	+ modify adacurses-config to look for ".ali" files in the adalib
5120	  directory.
5121	+ correct install for Ada95, which omitted libAdaCurses.a used in
5122	  adacurses-config
5123	+ change install for adacurses-config to provide additional flavors
5124	  such as adacursesw-config, for ncursesw (GenToo #167849).
5125
512620090105
5127	+ remove undeveloped feature in ncurses-config.in for setting
5128	  prefix variable.
5129	+ recent change to ncurses-config.in did not take into account the
5130	  --disable-overwrite option, which sets $includedir to the
5131	  subdirectory and using just that for a -I option does not work - fix
5132	  (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
5133
513420090104
5135	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to eliminate a dependency on rpath when
5136	  deciding whether to add $LIBS to --libs output; that should be shown
5137	  for the ncurses and tinfo libraries without taking rpath into
5138	  account.
5139	+ fix an overlooked change from $AR_OPTS to $ARFLAGS in mk-1st.awk,
5140	  used in static libraries (report by Marty Jack).
5141
514220090103
5143	+ add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
5144	  CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris (report by Dagobert Michelsen).
5145	+ add configure --with-pkg-config and --enable-pc-files options, along
5146	  with misc/gen-pkgconfig.in which can be used to generate ".pc" files
5147	  for pkg-config (request by Jan Engelhardt).
5148	+ use $includedir symbol in misc/ncurses-config.in, add --includedir
5149	  option.
5150	+ change makefiles to use $ARFLAGS rather than $AR_OPTS, provide a
5151	  configure check to detect whether a "-" is needed before "ar"
5152	  options.
5153	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
5154		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
5155
515620081227
5157	+ modify mk-1st.awk to work with extra categories for tinfo library.
5158	+ modify configure script to allow building shared libraries with gcc
5159	  on AIX 5 or 6 (adapted from patch by Lital Natan).
5160
516120081220
5162	+ modify to omit the opaque-functions from lib_gen.o when
5163	  --disable-ext-funcs is used.
5164	+ add test/clip_printw.c to illustrate how to use printw without
5165	  wrapping.
5166	+ modify ncurses 'F' test to demo wborder_set() with colored lines.
5167	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder() with colored lines.
5168
516920081213
5170	+ add check for failure to open hashed-database needed for db4.6
5171	  (GenToo #245370).
5172	+ corrected --without-manpages option; previous change only suppressed
5173	  the auxiliary rules install.man and uninstall.man
5174	+ add case for FreeMINT to configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE (patch from
5175	  GenToo #250454).
5176	+ fixes from NetBSD port at
5177	  http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/patches
5178	  patch-ac (build-fix for DragonFly)
5179	  patch-ae (use INSTALL_SCRIPT for installing misc/ncurses*-config).
5180	+ improve configure script macros CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_LIBRARY_PATH
5181	  by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS values to the
5182	  search-lists.
5183	+ correct title string for keybound manpage (patch by Frederic Culot,
5184	  OpenBSD documentation/6019),
5185
518620081206
5187	+ move del_curterm() call from _nc_freeall() to _nc_leaks_tinfo() to
5188	  work for progs/clear, progs/tabs, etc.
5189	+ correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character
5190	  set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran).
5191	+ add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather
5192	  than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that
5193	  ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue
5194	  was xterm's alternate screen feature).
5195	+ add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a
5196	  zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717,
5197	  adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault).
5198
519920081129
5200	+ improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control
5201	  character is found.  The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to
5202	  obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not
5203	  passing color or video attributes.
5204	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl() more consistently to
5205	  display meta-characters.
5206	+ turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h
5207	+ add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD
5208	+ correct use of key_name() in test/ncurses.c 'A' test, which only
5209	  displays wide-characters, not key-codes since 20070612 (report by
5210	  Ricardo Cantu).
5211
521220081122
5213	+ change _nc_has_mouse() to has_mouse(), reflect its use in C++ and
5214	  Ada95 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
5215	+ document in TO-DO an issue with Cygwin's package for GNAT (report
5216	  by Mike Dennison).
5217	+ improve error-checking of command-line options in "tabs" program.
5218
521920081115
5220	+ change several terminfo entries to make consistent use of ANSI
5221	  clear-all-tabs -TD
5222	+ add "tabs" program (prompted by Debian #502260).
5223	+ add configure --without-manpages option (request by Mike Frysinger).
5224
522520081102 5.7 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
5226
522720081025
5228	+ add a manpage to discuss memory leaks.
5229	+ add support for shared libraries for QNX (other than libtool, which
5230	  does not work well on that platform).
5231	+ build-fix for QNX C++ binding.
5232
523320081018
5234	+ build-fixes for OS/2 EMX.
5235	+ modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
5236	  in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris (report by
5237	  Nit Khair).
5238	+ modify configure script to assume --without-hashed-db when
5239	  --disable-database is used.
5240	+ add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating source-files
5241	  to force earlier exit if the build environment fails unexpectedly
5242	  (prompted by patch by Adrian Bunk).
5243	+ change configure script to use CF_UTF8_LIB, improved variant of
5244	  CF_LIBUTF8.
5245
524620081012
5247	+ add teraterm4.59 terminfo entry, use that as primary teraterm entry, rename
5248	  original to teraterm2.3 -TD
5249	+ update "gnome" terminfo to 2.22.3 -TD
5250	+ update "konsole" terminfo to 1.6.6, needs today's fix for tic -TD
5251	+ add "aterm" terminfo -TD
5252	+ add "linux2.6.26" terminfo -TD
5253	+ add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined capabilities,
5254	  overlooked til now.
5255
525620081011
5257	+ regenerated html documentation.
5258	+ add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
5259	  the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
5260	+ correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
5261	+ document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
5262	+ fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
5263	+ add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
5264	  tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
5265	  20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
5266
526720081004
5268	+ some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
5269	  works for C/C++ parts).
5270	+ improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
5271	  AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
5272
527320080927
5274	+ fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
5275	  strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
5276	+ fix build for --disable-sigwinch
5277	+ add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
5278	  GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
5279	+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
5280	  "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
5281	  that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
5282	+ reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
5283	  Miroslav Lichvar).
5284	+ fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
5285	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
5286	+ use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.
5287	+ discard internal symbol _nc_slk_format (unused since 20080112).
5288	+ move call of slk_paint_info() from _nc_slk_initialize() to

5290
529120080925
5292	+ fix bug in mouse code for GPM from 20080920 changes (reported in
5293	  Debian #500103, also Miroslav Lichvar).
5294
529520080920
5296	+ fix shared-library rules for cygwin with tic- and tinfo-libraries.
5297	+ fix a memory leak when failure to connect to GPM.
5298	+ correct check for notimeout() in wgetch() (report on linux.redhat
5299	  newsgroup by FurtiveBertie).
5300	+ add an example warning-suppression file for valgrind,
5301	  misc/ncurses.supp (based on example from Reuben Thomas)
5302
530320080913
5304	+ change shared-library configuration for OpenBSD, make rpath work.

5310
531120080906

5316	  Meunier).
5317	+ update test/configure script.

5319	  is unavailable, e.g., with HPUX 10.20.
5320	+ add configure check for wcsrtombs, mbsrtowcs, which are used in
5321	  test/ncurses.c, and use wcstombs, mbstowcs instead if available,
5322	  fixing build of ncursew for HPUX 11.00
5323
532420080830
5325	+ fixes to make Ada95 demo_panels() example work.
5326	+ modify Ada95 'rain' test program to accept keyboard commands like the
5327	  C-version.
5328	+ modify BeOS-specific ifdef's to build on Haiku (patch by Scott
5329	  Mccreary).
5330	+ add configure-check to see if the std namespace is legal for cerr
5331	  and endl, to fix a build issue with Tru64.
5332	+ consistently use NCURSES_BOOL in lib_gen.c
5333	+ filter #line's from lib_gen.c
5334	+ change delimiter in MKlib_gen.sh from '%' to '@', to avoid
5335	  substitution by IBM xlc to '#' as part of its extensions to digraphs.
5336	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
5337		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
5338	  (caveat - its maintainer removed support for older Linux systems).
5339
534020080823
5341	+ modify configure check for pthread library to work with OSF/1 5.1,
5342	  which uses #define's to associate its header and library.
5343	+ use pthread_mutexattr_init() for initializing pthread_mutexattr_t,
5344	  makes threaded code work on HPUX 11.23
5345	+ fix a bug in demo_menus in freeing menus (cf: 20080804).
5346	+ modify configure script for the case where tic library is used (and
5347	  possibly renamed) to remove its dependency upon ncurses/ncursew
5348	  library (patch by Dr Werner Fink).
5349	+ correct manpage for menu_fore() which gave wrong default for
5350	  the attribute used to display a selected entry (report by Mike Gran).
5351	+ add Eterm-256color, Eterm-88color and rxvt-88color (prompted by
5352	  Debian #495815) -TD
5353
535420080816
5355	+ add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
5356	+ add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
5357	+ modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
5358	  applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
5359	  etc.  This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
5360	  Werner Fink).
5361	+ add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
5362	  using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
5363	+ document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted
5364	  by comments by Samuel Thibault).
5365	+ fix remaining warnings from Klocwork report.
5366
536720080804
5368	+ modify _nc_panelhook() data to account for a permanent memory leak.
5369	+ fix memory leaks in test/demo_menus
5370	+ fix most warnings from Klocwork tool (report by Larry Zhou).
5371	+ modify configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to add case for
5372	  "dragonfly" from xterm #236 changes.
5373	+ modify configure script --with-hashed-db to let $LIBS override the
5374	  search for the db library (prompted by report by Samson Pierre).
5375
537620080726
5377	+ build-fixes for gcc 4.3.1 (changes to gnat "warnings", and C inlining
5378	  thresholds).
5379
538020080713
5381	+ build-fix (reports by Christian Ebert, Funda Wang).
5382
538320080712
5384	+ compiler-warning fixes for Solaris.
5385
538620080705
5387	+ use NCURSES_MOUSE_MASK() in definition of BUTTON_RELEASE(), etc., to
5388	  make those work properly with the "--enable-ext-mouse" configuration
5389	  (cf: 20050205).
5390	+ improve documentation of build-cc options in INSTALL.
5391	+ work-around a bug in gcc 4.2.4 on AIX, which does not pass the
5392	  -static/-dynamic flags properly to linker, causing test/bs to
5393	  not link.
5394
539520080628
5396	+ correct some ifdef's needed for the broken-linker configuration.
5397	+ make debugging library's $BAUDRATE feature work for termcap
5398	  interface.
5399	+ make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface (prompted
5400	  by comment on FreeBSD mailing list).
5401	+ add screen.mlterm terminfo entry -TD
5402	+ improve mlterm and mlterm+pcfkeys terminfo entries -TD
5403
540420080621
5405	+ regenerated html documentation.
5406	+ expand manpage description of parameters for form_driver() and
5407	  menu_driver() (prompted by discussion with Adam Spragg).
5408	+ add null-pointer checks for cur_term in baudrate() and
5409	  def_shell_mode(), def_prog_mode()
5410	+ fix some memory leaks in delscreen() and wide acs.
5411
541220080614
5413	+ modify test/ditto.c to illustrate multi-threaded use_screen().
5414	+ change CC_SHARED_OPTS from -KPIC to -xcode=pic32 for Solaris.
5415	+ add "-shared" option to MK_SHARED_LIB for gcc on Solaris (report
5416	  by Poor Yorick).
5417
541820080607
5419	+ finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the
5420	  window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr().  That
5421	  allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with
5422	  some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a
5423	  window which is being used in a wgetch().
5424	+ simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
5425
542620080531
5427	+ modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
5428	  parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
5429	  use SP internally.
5430	+ factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
5431	+ add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a
5432	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
5433	+ add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a
5434	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
5435	+ add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate
5436	  its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN.
5437	+ add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in
5438	  preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer.
5439
544020080524
5441	+ modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
5442	  screen which must be updated.
5443	+ wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and
5444	  always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm().
5445	+ restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch
5446	  Miroslav Lichvar)
5447
544820080517
5449	+ modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and
5450	  --enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from
5451	  the ncurses ABI 5.
5452	+ corrected manpage description of setcchar() (discussion with
5453	  Emanuele Giaquinta).
5454	+ fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line
5455	  (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
5456
545720080503
5458	+ modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix
5459	  overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD
5460	+ modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the
5461	  global SP.
5462	+ simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and
5463	  each_ripoff().
5464
546520080426
5466	+ continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate
5467	  multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens.
5468	+ fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran).
5469
547020080419
5471	+ add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD
5472	+ modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from
5473	  being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings.
5474	+ improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout.
5475
547620080412
5477	+ change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm.
5478	+ add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their
5479	  window parameters.
5480	+ add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN
5481	  pointer.
5482	+ finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.
5483
548420080405
5485	+ begin table in curs_thread.3x manpage describing the scope of data
5486	  used by each function (or symbol) for threading analysis.
5487	+ add null-pointer checks to setsyx() and getsyx() (prompted by
5488	  discussion by Martin v. Lowis and Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on
5489	  python-dev2 mailing list).
5490
549120080329
5492	+ add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen().
5493	+ move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which
5494	  are not associated with a particular screen.
5495	+ change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than
5496	  stdscr to the callback function.
5497	+ force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this,
5498	  e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc
5499	  (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
5500	+ override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on
5501	  platforms such as AIX where libtool may use a different suffix for
5502	  the object files than ".o" (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
5503	+ add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX
5504	  thread library.
5505
550620080322
5507	+ fill in extended-color pair two more places in wbkgrndset() and
5508	  waddch_nosync() (prompted by Sedeno's patch).
5509	+ fill in extended-color pair in _nc_build_wch() to make colors work
5510	  for wide-characters using extended-colors (patch by Alejandro R
5511	  Sedeno).
5512	+ add x/X toggles to ncurses.c C color test to test/demo
5513	  wide-characters with extended-colors.
5514	+ add a/A toggles to ncurses.c c/C color tests.
5515	+ modify test/ditto.c to use use_screen().
5516	+ finish modifying test/rain.c to demonstrate threads.
5517
551820080308
5519	+ start modifying test/rain.c for threading demo.
5520	+ modify test/ncurses.c to make 'f' test accept the f/F/b/F/</> toggles
5521	  that the 'F' accepts.
5522	+ modify test/worm.c to show trail in reverse-video when other threads
5523	  are working concurrently.
5524	+ fix a deadlock from improper nesting of mutexes for windowlist and
5525	  window.
5526
552720080301
5528	+ fixes from 20080223 resolved issue with mutexes; change to use
5529	  recursive mutexes to fix memory leak in delwin() as called from
5530	  _nc_free_and_exit().
5531
553220080223
5533	+ fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex
5534	  lock/unlock when termlib was built separately.
5535
553620080216
5537	+ avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often
5538	  is implemented to suspend the entire process.
5539
554020080209
5541	+ update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for
5542	  comparisons.  This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open Curses
5543	  that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping.  None of the Unix-branded
5544	  implementations do this, as noted in manpage (cf: 20040228).
5545
554620080203
5547	+ modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same
5548	  for both narrow/wide models.  It had been set only for wide model,
5549	  but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model.
5550	+ improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by
5551	  using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append
5552	  further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A
5553	  Chernov).
5554	+ modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint().
5555	  If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
5556	  sequence.
5557
555820080126
5559	+ improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE
5560	  handling).  Now it hangs in napms(), no matter whether nanosleep()
5561	  or poll() or select() are used on Linux.
5562
556320080119
5564	+ fixes to build with --disable-ext-funcs
5565	+ add manpage for use_window and use_screen.
5566	+ add set_tabsize() and set_escdelay() functions.
5567
556820080112
5569	+ remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c
5570	+ remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's
5571	  adjust_window() which caused occasional misadjustment of stdscr when
5572	  softkeys were used.
5573
557420080105
5575	+ several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD
5576	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the
5577	  "link_test" builds properly.
5578	+ fix for toe command-line options -u/-U to ensure filename is given.
5579	+ fix allocation-size for command-line parsing in infocmp from 20070728
5580	  (report by Miroslav Lichvar)
5581	+ improve resizeterm() by moving ripped-off lines, and repainting the
5582	  soft-keys (report by Katarina Machalkova)
5583	+ add clarification in wclear's manpage noting that the screen will be
5584	  cleared even if a subwindow is cleared (prompted by Christer Enfors
5585	  question).
5586	+ change test/ncurses.c soft-key tests to work with KEY_RESIZE.
5587
558820071222
5589	+ continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
5590	  for delwin().
5591
559220071215
5593	+ add several functions to C++ binding which wrap C functions that
5594	  pass a WINDOW* parameter (request by Chris Lee).
5595
559620071201
5597	+ add note about configure options needed for Berkeley database to the
5598	  INSTALL file.
5599	+ improve checks for version of Berkeley database libraries.
5600	+ amend fix for rpath to not modify LDFLAGS if the platform has no
5601	  applicable transformation (report by Christian Ebert, cf: 20071124).
5602
560320071124
5604	+ modify configure option --with-hashed-db to accept a parameter which
5605	  is the install-prefix of a given Berkeley Database (prompted by
5606	  pierre4d2 comments).
5607	+ rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb(), making it work on Solaris.  This is
5608	  used in the form library to determine the length of the buffer needed
5609	  by field_buffer (report by Alfred Fung).
5610	+ remove unneeded window-parameter from C++ binding for wresize (report
5611	  by Chris Lee).
5612
561320071117
5614	+ modify the support for filesystems which do not support mixed-case to
5615	  generate 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the lower-level of the
5616	  filesystem terminfo database (request by Michail Vidiassov).
5617	+ add configure option --enable-mixed-case, to allow overriding the
5618	  configure script's check if the filesystem supports mixed-case
5619	  filenames.
5620	+ add wresize() to C++ binding (request by Chris Lee).
5621	+ define NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS and NCURSES_EXT_COLORS in curses.h to make
5622	  it simpler to tell if the extended functions and/or colors are
5623	  declared.
5624
562520071103
5626	+ update memory-leak checks for changes to names.c and codes.c
5627	+ correct acsc strings in h19, z100 (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler).
5628
562920071020
5630	+ continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
5631	  for use_window().
5632	+ add mrxvt terminfo entry, add/fix xterm building blocks for modified
5633	  cursor keys -TD
5634	+ compile with FreeBSD "contemporary" TTY interface (patch by
5635	  Rong-En Fan).
5636
563720071013
5638	+ modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built
5639	  without libtic.  The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
5640	  that library.
5641	+ add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
5642	  the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).
5643	+ fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat #310071,
5644	  patches by Miroslav Lichvar).
5645	+ improve performance of NCURSES_CHAR_EQ code (patch by Miroslav
5646	  Lichvar).
5647	+ update/improve mlterm and rxvt terminfo entries, e.g., for
5648	  the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
5649
565020071006
5651	+ add code to curses.priv.h ifdef'd with NCURSES_CHAR_EQ, which
5652	  changes the CharEq() macro to an inline function to allow comparing
5653	  cchar_t struct's without comparing gaps in a possibly unpacked
5654	  memory layout (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
5655
565620070929
5657	+ add new functions to lib_trace.c to setup mutex's for the _tracef()
5658	  calls within the ncurses library.
5659	+ for the reentrant model, move _nc_tputs_trace and _nc_outchars into
5660	  the SCREEN.
5661	+ start modifying test/worm.c to provide threading demo (incomplete).
5662	+ separated ifdef's for some BSD-related symbols in tset.c, to make
5663	  it compile on LynxOS (report by Greg Gemmer).
566420070915
5665	+ modify Ada95/gen/Makefile to use shlib script, to simplify building
5666	  shared-library configuration on platforms lacking rpath support.
5667	+ build-fix for Ada95/src/Makefile to reflect changed dependency for
5668	  the terminal-interface-curses-aux.adb file which is now generated.
5669	+ restructuring test/worm.c, for use_window() example.
5670
567120070908
5672	+ add use_window() and use_screen() functions, to develop into support
5673	  for threaded library (incomplete).
5674	+ fix typos in man/curs_opaque.3x which kept the install script from
5675	  creating symbolic links to two aliases created in 20070818 (report by
5676	  Rong-En Fan).
5677
567820070901
5679	+ remove a spurious newline from output of html.m4, which caused links
5680	  for Ada95 html to be incorrect for the files generated using m4.
5681	+ start investigating mutex's for SCREEN manipulation (incomplete).
5682	+ minor cleanup of codes.c/names.c for --enable-const
5683	+ expand/revise "Routine and Argument Names" section of ncurses manpage
5684	  to address report by David Givens in newsgroup discussion.
5685	+ fix interaction between --without-progs/--with-termcap configure
5686	  options (report by Michail Vidiassov).
5687	+ fix typo in "--disable-relink" option (report by Michail Vidiassov).
5688
568920070825
5690	+ fix a sign-extension bug in infocmp's repair_acsc() function
5691	  (cf: 971004).
5692	+ fix old configure script bug which prevented "--disable-warnings"
5693	  option from working (patch by Mike Frysinger).
5694
569520070818
5696	+ add 9term terminal description (request by Juhapekka Tolvanen) -TD
5697	+ modify comp_hash.c's string output to avoid misinterpreting a null
5698	  "\0" followed by a digit.
5699	+ modify MKnames.awk and MKcodes.awk to support big-strings.
5700	  This only applies to the cases (broken linker, reentrant) where
5701	  the corresponding arrays are accessed via wrapper functions.
5702	+ split MKnames.awk into two scripts, eliminating the shell redirection
5703	  which complicated the make process and also the bogus timestamp file
5704	  which was introduced to fix "make -j".
5705	+ add test/test_opaque.c, test/test_arrays.c
5706	+ add wgetscrreg() and wgetparent() for applications that may need it
5707	  when NCURSES_OPAQUE is defined (prompted by Bryan Christ).
5708
570920070812
5710	+ amend treatment of infocmp "-r" option to retain the 1023-byte limit
5711	  unless "-T" is given (cf: 981017).
5712	+ modify comp_captab.c generation to use big-strings.
5713	+ make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private accessed via
5714	  _nc_get_alias_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
5715	  library.
5716	+ modify configure script to skip Intel compiler in CF_C_INLINE.
5717	+ make _nc_info_hash_table and _nc_cap_hash_table private accessed via
5718	  _nc_get_hash_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
5719	  library.
5720
572120070728
5722	+ make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private, accessed via
5723	  _nc_get_alias_table() since they are used only by parse_entry.c
5724	+ make _nc_key_names private since it is used only by lib_keyname.c
5725	+ add --disable-big-strings configure option to control whether
5726	  unctrl.c is generated using the big-string optimization - which may
5727	  use strings longer than supported by a given compiler.
5728	+ reduce relocation tables for tic, infocmp by changing type of
5729	  internal hash tables to short, and make those private symbols.
5730	+ eliminate large fixed arrays from progs/infocmp.c
5731
573220070721
5733	+ change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line (cf: 970315).
5734	+ add test/test_get_wstr.c
5735	+ add test/test_getstr.c
5736	+ add test/test_inwstr.c
5737	+ add test/test_instr.c
5738
573920070716
5740	+ restore a call to obtain screen-size in _nc_setupterm(), which
5741	  is used in tput and other non-screen applications via setupterm()
5742	  (Debian #433357, reported by Florent Bayle, Christian Ohm,
5743	  cf: 20070310).
5744
574520070714
5746	+ add test/savescreen.c test-program
5747	+ add check to trace-file open, if the given name is a directory, add
5748	  ".log" to the name and try again.
5749	+ add konsole-256color entry -TD
5750	+ add extra gcc warning options from xterm.
5751	+ minor fixes for ncurses/hashmap test-program.
5752	+ modify configure script to quiet c++ build with libtool when the
5753	  --disable-echo option is used.
5754	+ modify configure script to disable ada95 if libtool is selected,
5755	  writing a warning message (addresses FreeBSD #114493).
5756	+ update config.guess, config.sub
5757
575820070707
5759	+ add continuous-move "M" to demo_panels to help test refresh changes.
5760	+ improve fix for refresh of window on top of multi-column characters,
5761	  taking into account some split characters on left/right window
5762	  boundaries.
5763
576420070630
5765	+ add "widec" row to _tracedump() output to help diagnose remaining
5766	  problems with multi-column characters.
5767	+ partial fix for refresh of window on top of multi-column characters
5768	  which are partly overwritten (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
5769	+ ignore A_CHARTEXT bits in vidattr() and vid_attr(), in case
5770	  multi-column extension bits are passed there.
5771	+ add setlocale() call to demo_panels.c, needed for wide-characters.
5772	+ add some output flags to _nc_trace_ttymode to help diagnose a bug

5774
577520070623
5776	+ add test/demo_panels.c

5781	  #226 -TD
5782	+ split-out key_name() from MKkeyname.awk since it now depends upon
5783	  wunctrl() which is not in libtinfo (report by Rong-En Fan).
5784
578520070609
5786	+ add test/key_name.c
5787	+ add stdscr cases to test/inchs.c and test/inch_wide.c

5796	  (discussion with Clive Nicolson).
5797	+ add a modification of test/dots.c, i.e., test/dots_mvcur.c to
5798	  illustrate how to use mvcur().
5799	+ modify wide-character flavor of SetAttr() to preserve the
5800	  WidecExt() value stored in the .attr field, e.g., in case it
5801	  is overwritten by chgat (report by Aleksi Torhamo).
5802	+ correct buffer-size for _nc_viswbuf2n() (report by Aleksi Torhamo).
5803	+ build-fixes for Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 (patch by Peter O'Gorman).
5804
580520070526
5806	+ modify keyname() to use "^X" form only if meta() has been called, or
5807	  if keyname() is called without initializing curses, e.g., via
5808	  initscr() or newterm() (prompted by LinuxBase #1604).
5809	+ document some portability issues in man/curs_util.3x
5810	+ add a shadow copy of TTY buffer to _nc_prescreen to fix applications
5811	  broken by moving that data into SCREEN (cf: 20061230).
5812
581320070512
5814	+ add 'O' (wide-character panel test) in ncurses.c to demonstrate a
5815	  problem reported by Sadrul H Chowdhury with repainting parts of
5816	  a fullwidth cell.
5817	+ modify slk_init() so that if there are preceding calls to
5818	  ripoffline(), those affect the available lines for soft-keys (adapted
5819	  from patch by Clive Nicolson).
5820	+ document some portability issues in man/curs_getyx.3x
5821
582220070505
5823	+ fix a bug in Ada95/samples/ncurses which caused a variable to
5824	  become uninitialized in the "b" test.
5825	+ fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in adahtml rule to account for recent
5826	  movement of files, fix a few incorrect manpage references in the
5827	  generated html.
5828	+ add Ada95 binding to _nc_freeall() as Curses_Free_All to help with
5829	  memory-checking.
5830	+ correct some functions in Ada95 binding which were using return value
5831	  from C where none was returned:  idcok(), immedok() and wtimeout().
5832	+ amend recent changes for Ada95 binding to make it build with
5833	  Cygwin's linker, e.g., with configure options
5834		--enable-broken-linker --with-ticlib
5835
583620070428
5837	+ add a configure check for gcc's options for inlining, use that to
5838	  quiet a warning message where gcc's default behavior changed from
5839	  3.x to 4.x.
5840	+ improve warning message when checking if GPM is linked to curses
5841	  library by not warning if its use of "wgetch" is via a weak symbol.
5842	+ add loader options when building with static libraries to ensure that
5843	  an installed shared library for ncurses does not conflict.  This is
5844	  reported as problem with Tru64, but could affect other platforms
5845	  (report Martin Mokrejs, analysis by Tim Mooney).
5846	+ fix build on cygwin after recent ticlib/termlib changes, i.e.,
5847	  + adjust TINFO_SUFFIX value to work with cygwin's dll naming
5848	  + revert a change from 20070303 which commented out dependency of
5849	    SHLIB_LIST in form/menu/panel/c++ libraries.
5850	+ fix initialization of ripoff stack pointer (cf: 20070421).
5851
585220070421
5853	+ move most static variables into structures _nc_globals and
5854	  _nc_prescreen, to simplify storage.
5855	+ add/use configure script macro CF_SIG_ATOMIC_T, use the corresponding
5856	  type for data manipulated by signal handlers (prompted by comments
5857	  in mailing.openbsd.bugs newsgroup).
5858	+ modify CF_WITH_LIBTOOL to allow one to pass options such as -static
5859	  to the libtool create- and link-operations.
5860
586120070414
5862	+ fix whitespace in curs_opaque.3x which caused a spurious ';' in
5863	  the installed aliases (report by Peter Santoro).
5864	+ fix configure script to not try to generate adacurses-config when
5865	  Ada95 tree is not built.
5866
586720070407
5868	+ add man/curs_legacy.3x, man/curs_opaque.3x
5869	+ fix acs_map binding for Ada95 when --enable-reentrant is used.
5870	+ add adacurses-config to the Ada95 install, based on version from
5871	  FreeBSD port, in turn by Juergen Pfeifer in 2000 (prompted by
5872	  comment on comp.lang.ada newsgroup).
5873	+ fix includes in c++ binding to build with Intel compiler
5874	  (cf: 20061209).
5875	+ update install rule in Ada95 to use mkdirs.sh
5876	> other fixes prompted by inspection for Coverity report:
5877	+ modify ifdef's for c++ binding to use try/catch/throw statements
5878	+ add a null-pointer check in tack/ansi.c request_cfss()
5879	+ fix a memory leak in ncurses/base/wresize.c
5880	+ corrected check for valid memu/meml capabilities in
5881	  progs/dump_entry.c when handling V_HPUX case.
5882	> fixes based on Coverity report:
5883	+ remove dead code in test/bs.c
5884	+ remove dead code in test/demo_defkey.c
5885	+ remove an unused assignment in progs/infocmp.c
5886	+ fix a limit check in tack/ansi.c tools_charset()
5887	+ fix tack/ansi.c tools_status() to perform the VT320/VT420
5888	  tests in request_cfss().  The function had exited too soon.
5889	+ fix a memory leak in tic.c's make_namelist()
5890	+ fix a couple of places in tack/output.c which did not check for EOF.
5891	+ fix a loop-condition in test/bs.c
5892	+ add index checks in lib_color.c for color palettes
5893	+ add index checks in progs/dump_entry.c for version_filter() handling
5894	  of V_BSD case.
5895	+ fix a possible null-pointer dereference in copywin()
5896	+ fix a possible null-pointer dereference in waddchnstr()
5897	+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_expand_try()
5898	+ add a null-pointer check in tic.c's make_namelist()
5899	+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_expand_try()
5900	+ add null-pointer checks in test/cardfile.c
5901	+ fix a double-free in ncurses/tinfo/trim_sgr0.c
5902	+ fix a double-free in ncurses/base/wresize.c
5903	+ add try/catch block to c++/cursesmain.cc
5904
590520070331
5906	+ modify Ada95 binding to build with --enable-reentrant by wrapping
5907	  global variables (bug: acs_map does not yet work).
5908	+ modify Ada95 binding to use the new access-functions, allowing it
5909	  to build/run when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
5910	+ add access-functions and macros to return properties of the WINDOW
5911	  structure, e.g., when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
5912	+ improved install-sh's quoting.
5913	+ use mkdirs.sh rather than mkinstalldirs, e.g., to use fixes from
5914	  other programs.
5915
591620070324
5917	+ eliminate part of the direct use of WINDOW data from Ada95 interface.
5918	+ fix substitutions for termlib filename to make configure option
5919	  --enable-reentrant work with --with-termlib.
5920	+ change a constructor for NCursesWindow to allow compiling with
5921	  NCURSES_OPAQUE set, since we cannot pass a reference to
5922	  an opaque pointer.
5923
592420070317
5925	+ ignore --with-chtype=unsigned since unsigned is always added to
5926	  the type in curses.h; do the same for --with-mmask-t.
5927	+ change warning regarding --enable-ext-colors and wide-character
5928	  in the configure script to an error.
5929	+ tweak error message in CF_WITH_LIBTOOL to distinguish other programs
5930	  such as Darwin's libtool program (report by Michail Vidiassov)
5931	+ modify edit_man.sh to allow for multiple substitutions per line.
5932	+ set locale in misc/ncurses-config.in since it uses a range
5933	+ change permissions libncurses++.a install (report by Michail
5934	  Vidiassov).
5935	+ corrected length of temporary buffer in wide-character version
5936	  of set_field_buffer() (related to report by Bryan Christ).
5937
593820070311
5939	+ fix mk-1st.awk script install_shlib() function, broken in 20070224
5940	  changes for cygwin (report by  Michail Vidiassov).
5941
594220070310
5943	+ increase size of array in _nc_visbuf2n() to make "tic -v" work
5944	  properly in its similar_sgr() function (report/analysis by Peter
5945	  Santoro).
5946	+ add --enable-reentrant configure option for ongoing changes to
5947	  implement a reentrant version of ncurses:
5948	  + libraries are suffixed with "t"
5949	  + wrap several global variables (curscr, newscr, stdscr, ttytype,
5950	    COLORS, COLOR_PAIRS, COLS, ESCDELAY, LINES and TABSIZE) as
5951	    functions returning values stored in SCREEN or cur_term.
5952	  + move some initialization (LINES, COLS) from lib_setup.c,
5953	    i.e., setupterm() to _nc_setupscreen(), i.e., newterm().
5954
595520070303
5956	+ regenerated html documentation.
5957	+ add NCURSES_OPAQUE symbol to curses.h, will use to make structs
5958	  opaque in selected configurations.
5959	+ move the chunk in lib_acs.c which resets acs capabilities when
5960	  running on a terminal whose locale interferes with those into
5961	  _nc_setupscreen(), so the libtinfo/libtinfow files can be made
5962	  identical (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
5963	+ do not use configure variable SHLIB_LIBS for building libraries
5964	  outside the ncurses directory, since that symbol is customized
5965	  only for that directory, and using it introduces an unneeded
5966	  dependency on libdl (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
5967	+ modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or
5968	  installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in
5969	  case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh (report by Jeff
5970	  Chua).
5971	+ revised section "Using NCURSES under XTERM" in ncurses-intro.html
5972	  (prompted by newsgroup comment by Nick Guenther).
5973
597420070224
5975	+ change internal return codes of _nc_wgetch() to check for cases
5976	  where KEY_CODE_YES should be returned, e.g., if a KEY_RESIZE was
5977	  ungetch'd, and read by wget_wch().
5978	+ fix static-library build broken in 20070217 changes to remove "-ldl"
5979	  (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
5980	+ change makefile/scripts for cygwin to allow building termlib.
5981	+ use Form_Hook in manpages to match form.h
5982	+ use Menu_Hook in manpages, as well as a few places in menu.h
5983	+ correct form- and menu-manpages to use specific Field_Options,
5984	  Menu_Options and Item_Options types.
5985	+ correct prototype for _tracechar() in manpage (cf: 20011229).
5986	+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
5987
598820070217
5989	+ fixes for $(TICS_LIST) in ncurses/Makefile (report by Miroslav
5990	  Lichvar).
5991	+ modify relinking of shared libraries to apply only when rpath is
5992	  enabled, and add --disable-relink option which can be used to
5993	  disable the feature altogether (reports by Michail Vidiassov,
5994	  Adam J Richter).
5995	+ fix --with-termlib option for wide-character configuration, stripping
5996	  the "w" suffix in one place (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
5997	+ remove "-ldl" from some library lists to reduce dependencies in
5998	  programs (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
5999	+ correct description of --enable-signed-char in configure --help
6000	  (report by Michail Vidiassov).
6001	+ add pattern for GNU/kFreeBSD configuration to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE,
6002	  which matches an earlier change to CF_SHARED_OPTS, from xterm #224
6003	  fixes.
6004	+ remove "${DESTDIR}" from -install_name option used for linking
6005	  shared libraries on Darwin (report by Michail Vidiassov).
6006
600720070210
6008	+ add test/inchs.c, test/inch_wide.c, to test win_wchnstr().
6009	+ remove libdl from library list for termlib (report by Miroslav
6010	  Lichvar).
6011	+ fix configure.in to allow --without-progs --with-termlib (patch by
6012	  Miroslav Lichvar).
6013	+ modify win_wchnstr() to ensure that only a base cell is returned
6014	  for each multi-column character (prompted by report by Wei Kong
6015	  regarding change in mvwin_wch() cf: 20041023).
6016
601720070203
6018	+ modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
6019	  from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
6020	  Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
6021	  associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
6022	  Ricardo Cantu).
6023	+ improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
6024	+ ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
6025	+ add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
6026	  to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
6027	+ drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
6028	  no longer relies on it.
6029	+ disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
6030	  --enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
6031	+ remove tack from ncurses tree.
6032
603320070128
6034	+ fix typo in configure script that broke --with-termlib option
6035	  (report by Rong-En Fan).
6036
603720070127
6038	+ improve fix for FreeBSD gnu/98975, to allow for null pointer passed
6039	  to tgetent() (report by Rong-en Fan).
6040	+ update tack/HISTORY and tack/README to tell how to build it after
6041	  it is removed from the ncurses tree.
6042	+ fix configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
6043	  (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
6044	+ review/eliminate other original-file artifacts in cursesw.cc, making
6045	  its license consistent with ncurses.
6046	+ use ncurses vw_scanw() rather than reading into a fixed buffer in
6047	  the c++ binding for scanw() methods (prompted by report by Nuno Dias).
6048	+ eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding.
6049
605020070120
6051	+ add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from
6052	  term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency.
6053	+ fix test/mk-test.awk to ignore blank lines.
6054	+ correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav
6055	  Lichvar).
6056
605720070113
6058	+ add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the
6059	  _first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak).
6060	+ add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the
6061	  ncurses build-tree.
6062	+ add --with-ticlib option, to build/install the tic-support functions
6063	  in a separate library (suggested by Miroslav Lichvar).
6064
606520070106
6066	+ change MKunctrl.awk to reduce relocation table for unctrl.o
6067	+ change MKkeyname.awk to reduce relocation table for keyname.o
6068	  (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
6069
607020061230
6071	+ modify configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
6072	  (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
6073	+ modify some modules to allow them to be reentrant if _REENTRANT is
6074	  defined: lib_baudrate.c, resizeterm.c (local data only)
6075	+ eliminate static data from some modules: add_tries.c, hardscroll.c,
6076	  lib_ttyflags.c, lib_twait.c
6077	+ improve manpage install to add aliases for the transformed program
6078	  names, e.g., from --program-prefix.
6079	+ used linklint to verify links in the HTML documentation, made fixes
6080	  to manpages as needed.
6081	+ fix a typo in curs_mouse.3x (report by William McBrine).
6082	+ fix install-rule for ncurses5-config to make the bin-directory.
6083
608420061223
6085	+ modify configure script to omit the tic (terminfo compiler) support
6086	  from ncurses library if --without-progs option is given.
6087	+ modify install rule for ncurses5-config to do this via "install.libs"
6088	+ modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath.
6089	+ update config.guess, config.sub
6090
609120061217 5.6 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
6092
609320061217
6094	+ add ifdef's for <wctype.h> for HPUX, which has the corresponding
6095	  definitions in <wchar.h>.
6096	+ revert the va_copy() change from 20061202, since it was neither
6097	  correct nor portable.
6098	+ add $(LOCAL_LIBS) definition to progs/Makefile.in, needed for
6099	  rpath on Solaris.
6100	+ ignore wide-acs line-drawing characters that wcwidth() claims are
6101	  not one-column.  This is a workaround for Solaris' broken locale
6102	  support.
6103
610420061216
6105	+ modify configure --with-gpm option to allow it to accept a parameter,
6106	  i.e., the name of the dynamic GPM library to load via dlopen()
6107	  (requested by Bryan Henderson).
6108	+ add configure option --with-valgrind, changes from vile.
6109	+ modify configure script AC_TRY_RUN and AC_TRY_LINK checks to use
6110	  'return' in preference to 'exit()'.
6111
611220061209
6113	+ change default for --with-develop back to "no".
6114	+ add XTABS to tracing of TTY bits.
6115	+ updated autoconf patch to ifdef-out the misfeature which declares
6116	  exit() for configure tests.  This fixes a redefinition warning on
6117	  Solaris.
6118	+ use ${CC} rather than ${LD} in shared library rules for IRIX64,
6119	  Solaris to help ensure that initialization sections are provided for
6120	  extra linkage requirements, e.g., of C++ applications (prompted by
6121	  comment by Casper Dik in newsgroup).
6122	+ rename "$target" in CF_MAN_PAGES to make it easier to distinguish
6123	  from the autoconf predefined symbol.  There was no conflict,
6124	  since "$target" was used only in the generated edit_man.sh file,
6125	  but SuSE's rpm package contains a patch.
6126
612720061202
6128	+ update man/term.5 to reflect extended terminfo support and hashed
6129	  database configuration.
6130	+ updates for test/configure script.
6131	+ adapted from SuSE rpm package:
6132	  + remove long-obsolete workaround for broken-linker which declared
6133	    cur_term in tic.c
6134	  + improve error recovery in PUTC() macro when wcrtomb() does not
6135	    return usable results for an 8-bit character.
6136	+ patches from rpm package (SuSE):
6137	  + use va_copy() in extra varargs manipulation for tracing version
6138	    of printw, etc.
6139	  + use a va_list rather than a null in _nc_freeall()'s call to
6140	    _nc_printf_string().
6141	+ add some see-also references in manpages to show related
6142	  wide-character functions (suggested by Claus Fischer).
6143
614420061125
6145	+ add a check in lib_color.c to ensure caller does not increase COLORS
6146	  above max_colors, which is used as an array index (discussion with
6147	  Simon Sasburg).
6148	+ add ifdef's allowing ncurses to be built with tparm() using either
6149	  varargs (the existing status), or using a fixed-parameter list (to
6150	  match X/Open).
6151
615220061104
6153	+ fix redrawing of windows other than stdscr using wredrawln() by
6154	  touching the corresponding rows in curscr (discussion with Dan
6155	  Gookin).
6156	+ add test/redraw.c
6157	+ add test/echochar.c
6158	+ review/cleanup manpage descriptions of error-returns for form- and
6159	  menu-libraries (prompted by FreeBSD docs/46196).
6160
616120061028
6162	+ add AUTHORS file -TD
6163	+ omit the -D options from output of the new config script --cflags
6164	  option (suggested by Ralf S Engelschall).
6165	+ make NCURSES_INLINE unconditionally defined in curses.h
6166
616720061021
6168	+ revert change to accommodate bash 3.2, since that breaks other
6169	  platforms, e.g., Solaris.
6170	+ minor fixes to NEWS file to simplify scripting to obtain list of
6171	  contributors.
6172	+ improve some shared-library configure scripting for Linux, FreeBSD
6173	  and NetBSD to make "--with-shlib-version" work.
6174	+ change configure-script rules for FreeBSD shared libraries to allow
6175	  for rpath support in versions past 3.
6176	+ use $(DESTDIR) in makefile rules for installing/uninstalling the
6177	  package config script (reports/patches by Christian Wiese,
6178	  Ralf S Engelschall).
6179	+ fix a warning in the configure script for NetBSD 2.0, working around
6180	  spurious blanks embedded in its ${MAKEFLAGS} symbol.
6181	+ change test/Makefile to simplify installing test programs in a
6182	  different directory when --enable-rpath is used.
6183
618420061014
6185	+ work around bug in bash 3.2 by adding extra quotes (Jim Gifford).
6186	+ add/install a package config script, e.g., "ncurses5-config" or
6187	  "ncursesw5-config", according to configuration options.
6188
618920061007
6190	+ add several GNU Screen terminfo variations with 16- and 256-colors,
6191	  and status line (Alain Bench).
6192	+ change the way shared libraries (other than libtool) are installed.
6193	  Rather than copying the build-tree's libraries, link the shared
6194	  objects into the install directory.  This makes the --with-rpath
6195	  option work except with $(DESTDIR) (cf: 20000930).
6196
619720060930
6198	+ fix ifdef in c++/internal.h for QNX 6.1
6199	+ test-compiled with (old) egcs-1.1.2, modified configure script to
6200	  not unset the $CXX and related variables which would prevent this.
6201	+ fix a few terminfo.src typos exposed by improvements to "-f" option.
6202	+ improve infocmp/tic "-f" option formatting.
6203
620420060923
6205	+ make --disable-largefile option work (report by Thomas M Ott).
6206	+ updated html documentation.
6207	+ add ka2, kb1, kb3, kc2 to vt220-keypad as an extension -TD
6208	+ minor improvements to rxvt+pcfkeys -TD
6209
621020060916
6211	+ move static data from lib_mouse.c into SCREEN struct.
6212	+ improve ifdef's for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset to work with Mac OS X
6213	  (report by Michail Vidiassov).
6214	+ modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX to ensure it uses the result from --prefix
6215	  option (from lynx changes) -TD
6216	+ adapt AC_PROG_EGREP check, noting that this is likely to be another
6217	  place aggravated by POSIXLY_CORRECT.
6218	+ modify configure check for awk to ensure that it is found (prompted
6219	  by report by Christopher Parker).
6220	+ update config.sub
6221
622220060909
6223	+ add kon, kon2 and jfbterm terminfo entry (request by Till Maas) -TD
6224	+ remove invis capability from klone+sgr, mainly used by linux entry,
6225	  since it does not really do this -TD
6226
622720060903
6228	+ correct logic in wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not guard
6229	  against passing the multi-column attribute into a call on waddch(),
6230	  e.g., using data returned by win_wch() (cf: 20041023)
6231	  (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
6232
623320060902
6234	+ fix kterm's acsc string -TD
6235	+ fix for change to tic/infocmp in 20060819 to ensure no blank is
6236	  embedded into a termcap description.
6237	+ workaround for 20050806 ifdef's change to allow visbuf.c to compile
6238	  when using --with-termlib --with-trace options.
6239	+ improve tgetstr() by making the return value point into the user's
6240	  buffer, if provided (patch by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat #202480)).
6241	+ correct libraries needed for foldkeys (report by Stanislav Ievlev)
6242
624320060826
6244	+ add terminfo entries for xfce terminal (xfce) and multi gnome
6245	  terminal (mgt) -TD
6246	+ add test/foldkeys.c
6247
624820060819
6249	+ modify tic and infocmp to avoid writing trailing blanks on terminfo
6250	  source output (Debian #378783).
6251	+ modify configure script to ensure that if the C compiler is used
6252	  rather than the loader in making shared libraries, the $(CFLAGS)
6253	  variable is also used (Redhat #199369).
6254	+ port hashed-db code to db2 and db3.
6255	+ fix a bug in tgetent() from 20060625 and 20060715 changes
6256	  (patch/analysis by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat #202480)).
6257
625820060805
6259	+ updated xterm function-keys terminfo to match xterm #216 -TD
6260	+ add configure --with-hashed-db option (tested only with FreeBSD 6.0,
6261	  e.g., the db 1.8.5 interface).
6262
626320060729
6264	+ modify toe to access termcap data, e.g., via cgetent() functions,
6265	  or as a text file if those are not available.
6266	+ use _nc_basename() in tset to improve $SHELL check for csh/sh.
6267	+ modify _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_termcap_entry() so infocmp,
6268	  can access termcap data when the terminfo database is disabled.
6269
627020060722
6271	+ widen the test for xterm kmous a little to allow for other strings
6272	  than \E[M, e.g., for xterm-sco functionality in xterm.
6273	+ update xterm-related terminfo entries to match xterm patch #216 -TD
6274	+ update config.guess, config.sub
6275
627620060715
6277	+ fix for install-rule in Ada95 to add terminal_interface.ads
6278	  and terminal_interface.ali (anonymous posting in comp.lang.ada).
6279	+ correction to manpage for getcchar() (report by William McBrine).
6280	+ add test/chgat.c
6281	+ modify wchgat() to mark updated cells as changed so a refresh will
6282	  repaint those cells (comments by Sadrul H Chowdhury and William
6283	  McBrine).
6284	+ split up dependency of names.c and codes.c in ncurses/Makefile to
6285	  work with parallel make (report/analysis by Joseph S Myers).
6286	+ suppress a warning message (which is ignored) for systems without
6287	  an ldconfig program (patch by Justin Hibbits).
6288	+ modify configure script --disable-symlinks option to allow one to
6289	  disable symlink() in tic even when link() does not work (report by
6290	  Nigel Horne).
6291	+ modify MKfallback.sh to use tic -x when constructing fallback tables
6292	  to allow extended capabilities to be retrieved from a fallback entry.
6293	+ improve leak-checking logic in tgetent() from 20060625 to ensure that
6294	  it does not free the current screen (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
6295
629620060708
6297	+ add a check for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset (NetBSD #33916).
6298	+ correct _nc_free_entries() and related functions used for memory leak
6299	  checking of tic.
6300
630120060701
6302	+ revert a minor change for magic-cookie support from 20060513, which
6303	  caused unexpected reset of attributes, e.g., when resizing test/view
6304	  in color mode.
6305	+ note in clear manpage that the program ignores command-line
6306	  parameters (prompted by Debian #371855).
6307	+ fixes to make lib_gen.c build properly with changes to the configure
6308	  --disable-macros option and NCURSES_NOMACROS (cf:  20060527)
6309	+ update/correct several terminfo entries -TD
6310	+ add some notes regarding copyright to terminfo.src -TD
6311
631220060625
6313	+ fixes to build Ada95 binding with gnat-4.1.0
6314	+ modify read_termtype() so the term_names data is always allocated as
6315	  part of the str_table, a better fix for a memory leak (cf: 20030809).
6316	+ reduce memory leaks in repeated calls to tgetent() by remembering the
6317	  last TERMINAL* value allocated to hold the corresponding data and
6318	  freeing that if the tgetent() result buffer is the same as the
6319	  previous call (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
6320	+ modify tack to test extended capability function-key strings.
6321	+ improved gnome terminfo entry (GenToo #122566).
6322	+ improved xterm-256color terminfo entry (patch by Alain Bench).
6323
632420060617
6325	+ fix two small memory leaks related to repeated tgetent() calls
6326	  with TERM=screen (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
6327	+ add --enable-signed-char to simplify Debian package.
6328	+ reduce name-pollution in term.h by removing #define's for HAVE_xxx
6329	  symbols.
6330	+ correct typo in curs_terminfo.3x (Debian #369168).
6331
633220060603
6333	+ enable the mouse in test/movewindow.c
6334	+ improve a limit-check in frm_def.c (John Heasley).
6335	+ minor copyright fixes.
6336	+ change configure script to produce test/Makefile from data file.
6337
633820060527
6339	+ add a configure option --enable-wgetch-events to enable
6340	  NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS, and correct the associated loop-logic in
6341	  lib_twait.c (report by Bernd Jendrissek).
6342	+ remove include/nomacros.h from build, since the ifdef for
6343	  NCURSES_NOMACROS makes that obsolete.
6344	+ add entrypoints for some functions which were only provided as macros
6345	  to make NCURSES_NOMACROS ifdef work properly:  getcurx(), getcury(),
6346	  getbegx(), getbegy(), getmaxx(), getmaxy(), getparx() and getpary(),
6347	  wgetbkgrnd().
6348	+ provide ifdef for NCURSES_NOMACROS which suppresses most macro
6349	  definitions from curses.h, i.e., where a macro is defined to override
6350	  a function to improve performance.  Allowing a developer to suppress
6351	  these definitions can simplify some application (discussion with
6352	  Stanislav Ievlev).
6353	+ improve description of memu/meml in terminfo manpage.
6354
635520060520
6356	+ if msgr is false, reset video attributes when doing an automargin
6357	  wrap to the next line.  This makes the ncurses 'k' test work properly
6358	  for hpterm.
6359	+ correct caching of keyname(), which was using only half of its table.
6360	+ minor fixes to memory-leak checking.
6361	+ make SCREEN._acs_map and SCREEN._screen_acs_map pointers rather than
6362	  arrays, making ACS_LEN less visible to applications (suggested by
6363	  Stanislav Ievlev).
6364	+ move chunk in SCREEN ifdef'd for USE_WIDEC_SUPPORT to the end, so
6365	  _screen_acs_map will have the same offset in both ncurses/ncursesw,
6366	  making the corresponding tinfo/tinfow libraries binary-compatible
6367	  (cf: 20041016, report by Stanislav Ievlev).
6368
636920060513
6370	+ improve debug-tracing for EmitRange().
6371	+ change default for --with-develop to "yes".  Add NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS
6372	  and NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE environment variables to allow runtime
6373	  suppression of the related hard-tabs and xmc-glitch features.
6374	+ add ncurses version number to top-level manpages, e.g., ncurses, tic,
6375	  infocmp, terminfo as well as form, menu, panel.
6376	+ update config.guess, config.sub
6377	+ modify ncurses.c to work around a bug in NetBSD 3.0 curses
6378	  (field_buffer returning null for a valid field).  The 'r' test
6379	  appears to not work with that configuration since the new_fieldtype()
6380	  function is broken in that implementation.
6381
638220060506
6383	+ add hpterm-color terminfo entry -TD
6384	+ fixes to compile test-programs with HPUX 11.23
6385
638620060422
6387	+ add copyright notices to files other than those that are generated,
6388	  data or adapted from pdcurses (reports by William McBrine, David
6389	  Taylor).
6390	+ improve rendering on hpterm by not resetting attributes at the end
6391	  of doupdate() if the terminal has the magic-cookie feature (report
6392	  by Bernd Rieke).
6393	+ add 256color variants of terminfo entries for programs which are
6394	  reported to implement this feature -TD
6395
639620060416
6397	+ fix typo in change to NewChar() macro from 20060311 changes, which
6398	  broke tab-expansion (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
6399
640020060415
6401	+ document -U option of tic and infocmp.
6402	+ modify tic/infocmp to suppress smacs/rmacs when acsc is suppressed
6403	  due to size limit, e.g., converting to termcap format.  Also
6404	  suppress them if the output format does not contain acsc and it
6405	  was not VT100-like, i.e., a one-one mapping (Novell #163715).
6406	+ add configure check to ensure that SIGWINCH is defined on platforms
6407	  such as OS X which exclude that when _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., are
6408	  defined (report by Nicholas Cole)
6409
641020060408
6411	+ modify write_object() to not write coincidental extensions of an
6412	  entry made due to it being referenced in a use= clause (report by
6413	  Alain Bench).
6414	+ another fix for infocmp -i option, which did not ensure that some
6415	  escape sequences had comparable prefixes (report by Alain Bench).
6416
641720060401
6418	+ improve discussion of init/reset in terminfo and tput manpages
6419	  (report by Alain Bench).
6420	+ use is3 string for a fallback of rs3 in the reset program; it was
6421	  using is2 (report by Alain Bench).
6422	+ correct logic for infocmp -i option, which did not account for
6423	  multiple digits in a parameter (cf: 20040828) (report by Alain
6424	  Bench).
6425	+ move _nc_handle_sigwinch() to lib_setup.c to make --with-termlib
6426	  option work after 20060114 changes (report by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz).
6427	+ add copyright notices to test-programs as needed (report by William
6428	  McBrine).
6429
643020060318
6431	+ modify ncurses.c 'F' test to combine the wide-characters with color
6432	  and/or video attributes.
6433	+ modify test/ncurses to use CTL/Q or ESC consistently for exiting
6434	  a test-screen (some commands used 'x' or 'q').
6435
643620060312
6437	+ fix an off-by-one in the scrolling-region change (cf_ 20060311).
6438
643920060311
6440	+ add checks in waddchnstr() and wadd_wchnstr() to stop copying when
6441	  a null character is found (report by Igor Bogomazov).
6442	+ modify progs/Makefile.in to make "tput init" work properly with
6443	  cygwin, i.e., do not pass a ".exe" in the reference string used
6444	  in check_aliases (report by Samuel Thibault).
6445	+ add some checks to ensure current position is within scrolling
6446	  region before scrolling on a new line (report by Dan Gookin).
6447	+ change some NewChar() usage to static variables to work around
6448	  stack garbage introduced when cchar_t is not packed (Redhat #182024).
6449
645020060225
6451	+ workarounds to build test/movewindow with PDcurses 2.7.
6452	+ fix for nsterm-16color entry (patch by Alain Bench).
6453	+ correct a typo in infocmp manpage (Debian #354281).
6454
645520060218
6456	+ add nsterm-16color entry -TD
6457	+ updated mlterm terminfo entry -TD
6458	+ remove 970913 feature for copying subwindows as they are moved in
6459	  mvwin() (discussion with Bryan Christ).
6460	+ modify test/demo_menus.c to demonstrate moving a menu (both the
6461	  window and subwindow) using shifted cursor-keys.
6462	+ start implementing recursive mvwin() in movewindow.c (incomplete).
6463	+ add a fallback definition for GCC_PRINTFLIKE() in test.priv.h,
6464	  for movewindow.c (report by William McBrine).
6465	+ add help-message to test/movewindow.c
6466
646720060211
6468	+ add test/movewindow.c, to test mvderwin().
6469	+ fix ncurses soft-key test so color changes are shown immediately
6470	  rather than delayed.
6471	+ modify ncurses soft-key test to hide the keys when exiting the test
6472	  screen.
6473	+ fixes to build test programs with PDCurses 2.7, e.g., its headers
6474	  rely on autoconf symbols, and it declares stubs for nonfunctional
6475	  terminfo and termcap entrypoints.
6476
647720060204
6478	+ improved test/configure to build test/ncurses on HPUX 11 using the
6479	  vendor curses.
6480	+ documented ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS in the ncurses manpage, for the
6481	  benefit of developers who do not read INSTALL.
6482
648320060128
6484	+ correct form library Window_To_Buffer() change (cf:  20040516), which
6485	  should ignore the video attributes (report by Ricardo Cantu).
6486
648720060121
6488	+ minor fixes to xmc-glitch experimental code:
6489	  + suppress line-drawing
6490	  + implement max_attributes
6491	  tested with xterm.
6492	+ minor fixes for the database iterator.
6493	+ fix some buffer limits in c++ demo (comment by Falk Hueffner in
6494	  Debian #348117).
6495
649620060114
6497	+ add toe -a option, to show all databases.  This uses new private
6498	  interfaces in the ncurses library for iterating through the list of
6499	  databases.
6500	+ fix toe from 20000909 changes which made it not look at
6501	  $HOME/.terminfo
6502	+ make toe's -v option parameter optional as per manpage.
6503	+ improve SIGWINCH handling by postponing its effect during newterm(),
6504	  etc., when allocating screens.
6505
650620060111
6507	+ modify wgetnstr() to return KEY_RESIZE if a sigwinch occurs.  Use
6508	  this in test/filter.c
6509	+ fix an error in filter() modification which caused some applications
6510	  to fail.
6511
651220060107
6513	+ check if filter() was called when getting the screensize.  Keep it
6514	  at 1 if so (based on Redhat #174498).
6515	+ add extension nofilter().
6516	+ refined the workaround for ACS mapping.
6517	+ make ifdef's consistent in curses.h for the extended colors so the
6518	  header file can be used for the normal curses library.  The header
6519	  file installed for extended colors is a variation of the
6520	  wide-character configuration (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
6521
652220051231
6523	+ add a workaround to ACS mapping to allow applications such as
6524	  test/blue.c to use the "PC ROM" characters by masking them with
6525	  A_ALTCHARSET.  This worked up til 5.5, but was lost in the revision
6526	  of legacy coding (report by Michael Deutschmann).
6527	+ add a null-pointer check in the wide-character version of
6528	  calculate_actual_width() (report by Victor Julien).
6529	+ improve test/ncurses 'd' (color-edit) test by allowing the RGB
6530	  values to be set independently (patch by William McBrine).
6531	+ modify test/configure script to allow building test programs with
6532	  PDCurses/X11.
6533	+ modified test programs to allow some to work with NetBSD curses.
6534	  Several do not because NetBSD curses implements a subset of X/Open
6535	  curses, and also lacks much of SVr4 additions.  But it's enough for
6536	  comparison.
6537	+ update config.guess and config.sub
6538
653920051224
6540	+ use BSD-specific fix for return-value from cgetent() from CVS where
6541	  an unknown terminal type would be reportd as "database not found".
6542	+ make tgetent() return code more readable using new symbols
6543	  TGETENT_YES, etc.
6544	+ remove references to non-existent "tctest" program.
6545	+ remove TESTPROGS from progs/Makefile.in (it was referring to code
6546	  that was never built in that directory).
6547	+ typos in curs_addchstr.3x, some doc files (noticed in OpenBSD CVS).
6548
654920051217
6550	+ add use_legacy_coding() function to support lynx's font-switching
6551	  feature.
6552	+ fix formatting in curs_termcap.3x (report by Mike Frysinger).
6553	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to change preprocessor-expanded _Bool back to
6554	  bool.
6555
655620051210
6557	+ extend test/ncurses.c 's' (overlay window) test to exercise overlay(),
6558	  overwrite() and copywin() with different combinations of colors and
6559	  attributes (including background color) to make it easy to see the
6560	  effect of the different functions.
6561	+ corrections to menu/m_global.c for wide-characters (report by
6562	  Victor Julien).
6563
656420051203
6565	+ add configure option --without-dlsym, allowing developers to
6566	  configure GPM support without using dlsym() (discussion with Michael
6567	  Setzer).
6568	+ fix wins_nwstr(), which did not handle single-column non-8bit codes
6569	  (Debian #341661).
6570
657120051126
6572	+ move prototypes for wide-character trace functions from curses.tail
6573	  to curses.wide to avoid accidental reference to those if
6574	  _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined without ensuring that <wchar.h> is
6575	  included.
6576	+ add/use NCURSES_INLINE definition.
6577	+ change some internal functions to use int/unsigned rather than the
6578	  short equivalents.
6579
658020051119
6581	+ remove a redundant check in lib_color.c (Debian #335655).
6582	+ use ld's -search_paths_first option on Darwin to work around odd
6583	  search rules on that platform (report by Christian Gennerat, analysis
6584	  by Andrea Govoni).
6585	+ remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro.
6586	+ ignore EINTR in tcgetattr/tcsetattr calls (Debian #339518).
6587	+ fix several bugs in test/bs.c (patch by Stephen Lindholm).
6588
658920051112
6590	+ other minor fixes to cygwin based on tack -TD
6591	+ correct smacs in cygwin (Debian #338234, report by Baurzhan
6592	  Ismagulov, who noted that it was fixed in Cygwin).
6593
659420051029
6595	+ add shifted up/down arrow codes to xterm-new as kind/kri strings -TD
6596	+ modify wbkgrnd() to avoid clearing the A_CHARTEXT attribute bits
6597	  since those record the state of multicolumn characters (Debian
6598	  #316663).
6599	+ modify werase to clear multicolumn characters that extend into
6600	  a derived window (Debian #316663).
6601
660220051022
6603	+ move assignment from environment variable ESCDELAY from initscr()
6604	  down to newterm() so the environment variable affects timeouts for
6605	  terminals opened with newterm() as well.
6606	+ fix a memory leak in keyname().
6607	+ add test/demo_altkeys.c
6608	+ modify test/demo_defkey.c to exit from loop via 'q' to allow
6609	  leak-checking, as well as fix a buffer size in winnstr() call.
6610
661120051015
6612	+ correct order of use-clauses in rxvt-basic entry which made codes for
6613	  f1-f4 vt100-style rather than vt220-style (report by Gabor Z Papp).
6614	+ suppress configure check for gnatmake if Ada95/Makefile.in is not
6615	  found.
6616	+ correct a typo in configure --with-bool option for the case where
6617	  --without-cxx is used (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
6618	+ add a note to INSTALL's discussion of --with-normal, pointing out
6619	  that one may wish to use --without-gpm to ensure a completely
6620	  static link (prompted by report by Felix von Leitner).
6621
662220051010 5.5 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
6623
662420051008
6625	+ document in demo_forms.c some portability issues.
6626
662720051001
6628	+ document side-effect of werase() which sets the cursor position.
6629	+ save/restore the current position in form field editing to make
6630	  overlay mode work.
6631
663220050924
6633	+ correct header dependencies in progs, allowing parallel make (report
6634	  by Daniel Jacobowitz).
6635	+ modify CF_BUILD_CC to ensure that pre-setting $BUILD_CC overrides
6636	  the configure check for --with-build-cc (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
6637	+ modify CF_CFG_DEFAULTS to not use /usr as the default prefix for
6638	  NetBSD.
6639	+ update config.guess and config.sub from
6640		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
6641
664220050917
6643	+ modify sed expression which computes path for /usr/lib/terminfo
6644	  symbolic link in install to ensure that it does not change unexpected
6645	  levels of the path (Gentoo #42336).
6646	+ modify default for --disable-lp64 configure option to reduce impact
6647	  on existing 64-bit builds.  Enabling the _LP64 option may change the
6648	  size of chtype and mmask_t.  However, for ABI 6, it is enabled by
6649	  default (report by Mike Frysinger).
6650	+ add configure script check for --enable-ext-mouse, bump ABI to 6 by
6651	  default if it is used.
6652	+ improve configure script logic for bumping ABI to omit this if the
6653	  --with-abi-version option was used.
6654	+ update address for Free Software Foundation in tack's source.
6655	+ correct wins_wch(), which was not marking the filler-cells of
6656	  multi-column characters (cf:  20041023).
6657
665820050910
6659	+ modify mouse initialization to ensure that Gpm_Open() is called only
6660	  once.  Otherwise GPM gets confused in its initialization of signal
6661	  handlers (Debian #326709).
6662
666320050903
6664	+ modify logic for backspacing in a multiline form field to ensure that
6665	  it works even when the preceding line is full (report by Frank van
6666	  Vugt).
6667	+ remove comment about BUGS section of ncurses manpage (Debian #325481)
6668
666920050827
6670	+ document some workarounds for shared and libtool library
6671	  configurations in INSTALL (see --with-shared and --with-libtool).
6672	+ modify CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GXX_VERSION macros to accommodate
6673	  cross-compilers which emit the platform name in their version
6674	  message, e.g.,
6675		arm-sa1100-linux-gnu-g++ (GCC) 4.0.1
6676	  (report by Frank van Vugt).
6677
667820050820
6679	+ start updating documentation for upcoming 5.5 release.
6680	+ fix to make libtool  and libtinfo work together again (cf: 20050122).
6681	+ fixes to allow building traces into libtinfo
6682	+ add debug trace to tic that shows if/how ncurses will write to the
6683	  lower corner of a terminal's screen.
6684	+ update llib-l* files.
6685
668620050813
6687	+ modify initializers in c++ binding to build with old versions of g++.
6688	+ improve special case for 20050115 repainting fix, ensuring that if
6689	  the first changed cell is not a character that the range to be
6690	  repainted is adjusted to start at a character's beginning (Debian
6691	  #316663).
6692
669320050806
6694	+ fixes to build on QNX 6.1
6695	+ improve configure script checks for Intel 9.0 compiler.
6696	+ remove #include's for libc.h (obsolete).
6697	+ adjust ifdef's in curses.priv.h so that when cross-compiling to
6698	  produce comp_hash and make_keys, no dependency on wchar.h is needed.
6699	  That simplifies the build-cppflags (report by Frank van Vugt).
6700	+ move modules related to key-binding into libtinfo to fix linkage
6701	  problem caused by 20050430 changes to MKkeyname.sh (report by
6702	  Konstantin Andreev).
6703
670420050723
6705	+ updates/fixes for configure script macros from vile -TD
6706	+ make prism9's sgr string agree with the rest of the terminfo -TD
6707	+ make vt220's sgr0 string consistent with sgr string, do this for
6708	  several related cases -TD
6709	+ improve translation to termcap by filtering the 'me' (sgr0) strings
6710	  as in the runtime call to tgetent() (prompted by a discussion with
6711	  Thomas Klausner).
6712	+ improve tic check for sgr0 versus sgr(0), to help ensure that sgr0
6713	  resets line-drawing.
6714
671520050716
6716	+ fix special cases for trimming sgr0 for hurd and vt220 (Debian
6717	  #318621).
6718	+ split-out _nc_trim_sgr0() from modifications made to tgetent(), to
6719	  allow it to be used by tic to provide information about the runtime
6720	  changes that would be made to sgr0 for termcap applications.
6721	+ modify make_sed.sh to make the group-name in the NAME section of
6722	  form/menu library manpage agree with the TITLE string when renaming
6723	  is done for Debian (Debian #78866).
6724
672520050702
6726	+ modify parameter type in c++ binding for insch() and mvwinsch() to
6727	  be consistent with underlying ncurses library (was char, is chtype).
6728	+ modify treatment of Intel compiler to allow _GNU_SOURCE to be defined
6729	  on Linux.
6730	+ improve configure check for nanosleep(), checking that it works since
6731	  some older systems such as AIX 4.3 have a nonworking version.
6732
673320050625
6734	+ update config.guess and config.sub from
6735		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
6736	+ modify misc/shlib to work in test-directory.
6737	+ suppress $suffix in misc/run_tic.sh when cross-compiling.  This
6738	  allows cross-compiles to use the host's tic program to handle the
6739	  "make install.data" step.
6740	+ improve description of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables in manpages
6741	  (prompted by report by Dave Ulrick).
6742	+ improve description of cross-compiling in INSTALL
6743	+ add NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html by Pradeep Padala
6744	  (see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/).
6745	+ modify configure script to obtain soname for GPM library (discussion
6746	  with Daniel Jacobowitz).
6747	+ modify configure script so that --with-chtype option will still
6748	  compute the unsigned literals suffix for constants in curses.h
6749	  (report by Daniel Jacobowitz:
6750	+ patches from Daniel Jacobowitz:
6751	  + the man_db.renames entry for tack.1 was backwards.
6752	  + tack.1 had some 1m's that should have been 1M's.
6753	  + the section for curs_inwstr.3 was wrong.
6754
675520050619
6756	+ correction to --with-chtype option (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
6757
675820050618
6759	+ move build-time edit_man.sh and edit_man.sed scripts to top directory
6760	  to simplify reusing them for renaming tack's manpage (prompted by a
6761	  review of Debian package).
6762	+ revert minor optimization from 20041030 (Debian #313609).
6763	+ libtool-specific fixes, tested with libtool 1.4.3, 1.5.0, 1.5.6,
6764	  1.5.10 and 1.5.18 (all work except as noted previously for the c++
6765	  install using libtool 1.5.0):
6766	  + modify the clean-rule in c++/Makefile.in to work with IRIX64 make
6767	    program.
6768	  + use $(LIBTOOL_UNINSTALL) symbol, overlooked in 20030830
6769	+ add configure options --with-chtype and --with-mmask-t, to allow
6770	  overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of the corresponding types.
6771	+ revise test for size of chtype (and mmask_t), which always returned
6772	  "long" due to an uninitialized variable (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
6773
677420050611
6775	+ change _tracef's that used "%p" format for va_list values to ignore
6776	  that, since on some platforms those are not pointers.
6777	+ fixes for long-formats in printf's due to largefile support.
6778
677920050604
6780	+ fixes for termcap support:
6781	  + reset pointer to _nc_curr_token.tk_name when the input stream is
6782	    closed, which could point to free memory (cf: 20030215).
6783	  + delink TERMTYPE data which is used by the termcap reader, so that
6784	    extended names data will be freed consistently.
6785	  + free pointer to TERMTYPE data in _nc_free_termtype() rather than
6786	    its callers.
6787	  + add some entrypoints for freeing permanently allocated data via
6788	    _nc_freeall() when NO_LEAKS is defined.
6789	+ amend 20041030 change to _nc_do_color to ensure that optimization is
6790	  applied only when the terminal supports back_color_erase (bce).
6791
679220050528
6793	+ add sun-color terminfo entry -TD
6794	+ correct a missing assignment in c++ binding's method
6795	  NCursesPanel::UserPointer() from 20050409 changes.
6796	+ improve configure check for large-files, adding check for dirent64
6797	  from vile -TD
6798	+ minor change to configure script to improve linker options for the
6799	  Ada95 tree.
6800
680120050515
6802	+ document error conditions for ncurses library functions (report by
6803	  Stanislav Ievlev).
6804	+ regenerated html documentation for ada binding.
6805	  see ftp://ftp.invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/gnathtml
6806
680720050507
6808	+ regenerated html documentation for manpages.
6809	+ add $(BUILD_EXEEXT) suffix to invocation of make_keys in
6810	  ncurses/Makefile (Gentoo #89772).
6811	+ modify c++/demo.cc to build with g++ -fno-implicit-templates option
6812	  (patch by Mike Frysinger).
6813	+ modify tic to filter out long extended names when translating to
6814	  termcap format.  Only two characters are permissible for termcap
6815	  capability names.
6816
681720050430
6818	+ modify terminfo entries xterm-new and rxvt to add strings for
6819	  shift-, control-cursor keys.
6820	+ workaround to allow c++ binding to compile with g++ 2.95.3, which
6821	  has a broken implementation of static_cast<> (patch by Jeff Chua).
6822	+ modify initialization of key lookup table so that if an extended
6823	  capability (tic -x) string is defined, and its name begins with 'k',
6824	  it will automatically be treated as a key.
6825	+ modify test/keynames.c to allow for the possibility of extended
6826	  key names, e.g., via define_key(), or via "tic -x".
6827	+ add test/demo_termcap.c to show the contents of given entry via the
6828	  termcap interface.
6829
683020050423
6831	+ minor fixes for vt100/vt52 entries -TD
6832	+ add configure option --enable-largefile
6833	+ corrected libraries used to build Ada95/gen/gen, found in testing
6834	  gcc 4.0.0.
6835
683620050416
6837	+ update config.guess, config.sub
6838	+ modify configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, disable that on
6839	  Darwin whose header files have problems (patch by Chris Zubrzycki).
6840	+ modify form library Is_Printable_String() to use iswprint() rather
6841	  than wcwidth() for determining if a character is printable.  The
6842	  latter caused it to reject menu items containing non-spacing
6843	  characters.
6844	+ modify ncurses test program's F-test to handle non-spacing characters
6845	  by combining them with a reverse-video blank.
6846	+ review/fix several gcc -Wconversion warnings.
6847
684820050409
6849	+ correct an off-by-one error in m_driver() for mouse-clicks used to
6850	  position the mouse to a particular item.
6851	+ implement test/demo_menus.c
6852	+ add some checks in lib_mouse to ensure SP is set.
6853	+ modify C++ binding to make 20050403 changes work with the configure
6854	  --enable-const option.
6855
685620050403
6857	+ modify start_color() to return ERR if it cannot allocate memory.
6858	+ address g++ compiler warnings in C++ binding by adding explicit
6859	  member initialization, assignment operators and copy constructors.
6860	  Most of the changes simply preserve the existing semantics of the
6861	  binding, which can leak memory, etc., but by making these features
6862	  visible, it provides a framework for improving the binding.
6863	+ improve C++ binding using static_cast, etc.
6864	+ modify configure script --enable-warnings to add options to g++ to
6865	  correspond to the gcc --enable-warnings.
6866	+ modify C++ binding to use some C internal functions to make it
6867	  compile properly on Solaris (and other platforms).
6868
686920050327
6870	+ amend change from 20050320 to limit it to configurations with a
6871	  valid locale.
6872	+ fix a bug introduced in 20050320 which broke the translation of
6873	  nonprinting characters to uparrow form (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
6874
687520050326
6876	+ add ifdef's for _LP64 in curses.h to avoid using wasteful 64-bits for
6877	  chtype and mmask_t, but add configure option --disable-lp64 in case
6878	  anyone used that configuration.
6879	+ update misc/shlib script to account for Mac OS X (report by Michail
6880	  Vidiassov).
6881	+ correct comparison for wrapping multibyte characters in
6882	  waddch_literal() (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
6883
688420050320
6885	+ add -c and -w options to tset to allow user to suppress ncurses'
6886	  resizing of the terminal emulator window in the special case where it
6887	  is not able to detect the true size (report by Win Delvaux, Debian
6888	  #300419).
6889	+ modify waddch_nosync() to account for locale zn_CH.GBK, which uses
6890	  codes 128-159 as part of multibyte characters (report by Wang
6891	  WenRui, Debian #300512).
6892
689320050319
6894	+ modify ncurses.c 'd' test to make it work with 88-color
6895	  configuration, i.e., by implementing scrolling.
6896	+ improve scrolling in ncurses.c 'c' and 'C' tests, e.g., for 88-color
6897	  configuration.
6898
689920050312
6900	+ change tracemunch to use strict checking.
6901	+ modify ncurses.c 'p' test to test line-drawing within a pad.
6902	+ implement environment variable NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS to support
6903	  miscellaneous terminal emulators which ignore alternate character
6904	  set escape sequences when in UTF-8 mode.
6905
690620050305
6907	+ change NCursesWindow::err_handler() to a virtual function (request by
6908	  Steve Beal).
6909	+ modify fty_int.c and fty_num.c to handle wide characters (report by
6910	  Wolfgang Gutjahr).
6911	+ adapt fix for fty_alpha.c to fty_alnum.c, which also handled normal
6912	  and wide characters inconsistently (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
6913	+ update llib-* files to reflect internal interface additions/changes.
6914
691520050226
6916	+ improve test/configure script, adding tests for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc.,
6917	  from lynx.
6918	+ add aixterm-16color terminfo entry -TD
6919	+ modified xterm-new terminfo entry to work with tgetent() changes -TD
6920	+ extended changes in tgetent() from 20040710 to allow the substring of
6921	  sgr0 which matches rmacs to be at the beginning of the sgr0 string
6922	  (request by Thomas Wolff).  Wolff says the visual effect in
6923	  combination with pre-20040710 ncurses is improved.
6924	+ fix off-by-one in winnstr() call which caused form field validation
6925	  of multibyte characters to ignore the last character in a field.
6926	+ correct logic in winsch() for inserting multibyte strings; the code
6927	  would clear cells after the insertion rather than push them to the
6928	  right (cf: 20040228).
6929	+ fix an inconsistency in Check_Alpha_Field() between normal and wide
6930	  character logic (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
6931
693220050219
6933	+ fix a bug in editing wide-characters in form library: deleting a
6934	  nonwide character modified the previous wide-character.
6935	+ update manpage to describe NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2.
6936	+ correct manpage description of mouseinterval() (Debian #280687).
6937	+ add a note to default_colors.3x explaining why this extension was
6938	  added (Debian #295083).
6939	+ add traces to panel library.
6940
694120050212
6942	+ improve editing of wide-characters in form library:  left/right
6943	  cursor movement, and single-character deletions work properly.
6944	+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM happens to be prefixed with
6945	  "xterm".  Gpm_Open() would otherwise assert that it can deal with
6946	  mouse events in this case.
6947	+ modify GPM mouse support so it closes the server connection when
6948	  the caller disables the mouse (report by Stanislav Ievlev).
6949
695020050205
6951	+ add traces for callback functions in form library.
6952	+ add experimental configure option --enable-ext-mouse, which defines
6953	  NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies the encoding of mouse events to
6954	  support wheel mice, which may transmit buttons 4 and 5.  This works
6955	  with xterm and similar X terminal emulators (prompted by question by
6956	  Andreas Henningsson, this is also related to Debian #230990).
6957	+ improve configure macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE to
6958	  avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin.
6959
696020050129
6961	+ merge remaining development changes for extended colors (mostly
6962	  complete, does not appear to break other configurations).
6963	+ add xterm-88color.dat (part of extended colors testing).
6964	+ improve _tracedump() handling of color pairs past 96.
6965	+ modify return-value from start_color() to return OK if colors have
6966	  already been started.
6967	+ modify curs_color.3x list error conditions for init_pair(),
6968	  pair_content() and color_content().
6969	+ modify pair_content() to return -1 for consistency with init_pair()
6970	  if it corresponds to the default-color.
6971	+ change internal representation of default-color to allow application
6972	  to use color number 255.  This does not affect the total number of
6973	  color pairs which are allowed.
6974	+ add a top-level tags rule.
6975
697620050122
6977	+ add a null-pointer check in wgetch() in case it is called without
6978	  first calling initscr().
6979	+ add some null-pointer checks for SP, which is not set by libtinfo.
6980	+ modify misc/shlib to ensure that absolute pathnames are used.
6981	+ modify test/Makefile.in, etc., to link test programs only against the
6982	  libraries needed, e.g., omit form/menu/panel library for the ones
6983	  that are curses-specific.
6984	+ change SP->_current_attr to a pointer, adjust ifdef's to ensure that
6985	  libtinfo.so and libtinfow.so have the same ABI.  The reason for this
6986	  is that the corresponding data which belongs to the upper-level
6987	  ncurses library has a different size in each model (report by
6988	  Stanislav Ievlev).
6989

6991	+ minor fixes to allow test-compiles with g++.
6992	+ correct column value shown in tic's warnings, which did not account
6993	  for leading whitespace.
6994	+ add a check in _nc_trans_string() for improperly ended strings, i.e.,
6995	  where a following line begins in column 1.
6996	+ modify _nc_save_str() to return a null pointer on buffer overflow.
6997	+ improve repainting while scrolling wide-character data (Eungkyu Song).
6998
699920050108
7000	+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
7001
700220050101
7003	+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
7004	+ fix manpage typo (FreeBSD report docs/75544).
7005	+ update config.guess, config.sub
7006	> patches for configure script (Albert Chin-A-Young):
7007	+ improved fix to make mbstate_t recognized on HPUX 11i (cf:
7008	  20030705), making vsscanf() prototype visible on IRIX64.  Tested for
7009	  on HP-UX 11i, Solaris 7, 8, 9, AIX 4.3.3, 5.2, Tru64 UNIX 4.0D, 5.1,
7010	  IRIX64 6.5, Redhat Linux 7.1, 9, and RHEL 2.1, 3.0.
7011	+ print the result of the --disable-home-terminfo option.
7012	+ use -rpath when compiling with SGI C compiler.
7013
701420041225
7015	+ add trace calls to remaining public functions in form and menu
7016	  libraries.
7017	+ fix check for numeric digits in test/ncurses.c 'b' and 'B' tests.
7018	+ fix typo in test/ncurses.c 'c' test from 20041218.
7019
702020041218
7021	+ revise test/ncurses.c 'c' color test to improve use for xterm-88color
7022	  and xterm-256color, added 'C' test using the wide-character color_set
7023	  and attr_set functions.
7024
702520041211
7026	+ modify configure script to work with Intel compiler.
7027	+ fix an limit-check in wadd_wchnstr() which caused labels in the
7028	  forms-demo to be one character short.
7029	+ fix typo in curs_addchstr.3x (Jared Yanovich).
7030	+ add trace calls to most functions in form and menu libraries.
7031	+ update working-position for adding wide-characters when window is
7032	  scrolled (prompted by related report by Eungkyu Song).
7033
703420041204
7035	+ replace some references on Linux to wcrtomb() which use it to obtain
7036	  the length of a multibyte string with _nc_wcrtomb, since wcrtomb() is
7037	  broken in glibc (see Debian #284260).
7038	+ corrected length-computation in wide-character support for
7039	  field_buffer().
7040	+ some fixes to frm_driver.c to allow it to accept multibyte input.
7041	+ modify configure script to work with Intel 8.0 compiler.
7042
704320041127
7044	+ amend change to setupterm() in 20030405 which would reuse the value
7045	  of cur_term if the same output was selected.  This now reuses it only
7046	  when setupterm() is called from tgetent(), which has no notion of
7047	  separate SCREENs.  Note that tgetent() must be called after initscr()
7048	  or newterm() to use this feature (Redhat #140326).
7049	+ add a check in CF_BUILD_CC macro to ensure that developer has given
7050	  the --with-build-cc option when cross-compiling (report by Alexandre
7051	  Campo).
7052	+ improved configure script checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE and
7053	  _POSIX_C_SOURCE (fix for IRIX 5.3 from Georg Schwarz, _POSIX_C_SOURCE
7054	  updates from lynx).
7055	+ cosmetic fix to test/gdc.c to recolor the bottom edge of the box
7056	  for consistency (comment by Dan Nelson).
7057
705820041120
7059	+ update wsvt25 terminfo entry -TD
7060	+ modify test/ins_wide.c to test all flavors of ins_wstr().
7061	+ ignore filler-cells in wadd_wchnstr() when adding a cchar_t array
7062	  which consists of multi-column characters, since this function
7063	  constructs them (cf: 20041023).
7064	+ modify winnstr() to return multibyte character strings for the
7065	  wide-character configuration.
7066
706720041106
7068	+ fixes to make slk_set() and slk_wset() accept and store multibyte
7069	  or multicolumn characters.
7070
707120041030
7072	+ improve color optimization a little by making _nc_do_color() check
7073	  if the old/new pairs are equivalent to the default pair 0.
7074	+ modify assume_default_colors() to not require that
7075	  use_default_colors() be called first.
7076
707720041023
7078	+ modify term_attrs() to use termattrs(), add the extended attributes
7079	  such as enter_horizontal_hl_mode for WA_HORIZONTAL to term_attrs().
7080	+ add logic in waddch_literal() to clear orphaned cells when one
7081	  multi-column character partly overwrites another.
7082	+ improved logic for clearing cells when a multi-column character
7083	  must be wrapped to a new line.
7084	+ revise storage of cells for multi-column characters to correct a
7085	  problem with repainting.  In the old scheme, it was possible for
7086	  doupdate() to decide that only part of a multi-column character
7087	  should be repainted since the filler cells stored only an attribute
7088	  to denote them as fillers, rather than the character value and the
7089	  attribute.
7090
709120041016
7092	+ minor fixes for traces.
7093	+ add SP->_screen_acs_map[], used to ensure that mapping of missing
7094	  line-drawing characters is handled properly.  For example, ACS_DARROW
7095	  is absent from xterm-new, and it was coincidentally displayed the
7096	  same as ACS_BTEE.
7097
709820041009
7099	+ amend 20021221 workaround for broken acs to reset the sgr, rmacs
7100	  and smacs strings as well.  Also modify the check for screen's
7101	  limitations in that area to allow the multi-character shift-in
7102	  and shift-out which seem to work.
7103	+ change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it dynamically
7104	  at runtime (Debian #110586).
7105
710620041002
7107	+ correct logic for color pair in setcchar() and getcchar() (patch by
7108	  Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
7109	+ add t/T commands to ncurses b/B tests to allow a different color to
7110	  be tested for the attrset part of the test than is used in the
7111	  background color.
7112
711320040925
7114	+ fix to make setcchar() to work when its wchar_t* parameter is
7115	  pointing to a string which contains more data than can be converted.
7116	+ modify wget_wstr() and example in ncurses.c to work if wchar_t and
7117	  wint_t are different sizes (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
7118
711920040918
7120	+ remove check in wget_wch() added to fix an infinite loop, appears to
7121	  have been working around a transitory glibc bug, and interferes
7122	  with normal operation (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
7123	+ correct wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not pass the rendition
7124	  information (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
7125	+ fix aclocal.m4 so that the wide-character version of ncurses gets
7126	  compiled as libncursesw.5.dylib, instead of libncurses.5w.dylib
7127	  (adapted from patch by James J Ramsey).
7128	+ change configure script for --with-caps option to indicate that it
7129	  is no longer experimental.
7130	+ change configure script to reflect the fact that --enable-widec has
7131	  not been "experimental" since 5.3 (report by Bruno Lustosa).
7132
713320040911
7134	+ add 'B' test to ncurses.c, to exercise some wide-character functions.
7135
713620040828
7137	+ modify infocmp -i option to match 8-bit controls against its table
7138	  entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry.
7139	+ add morphos terminfo entry, improve amiga-8bit entry (Pavel Fedin).
7140	+ correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap, e.g.,
7141	  using "tic -C" (Redhat #130921).
7142	+ modified configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to ensure that if
7143	  it defines _POSIX_C_SOURCE, that it defines it to a specific value
7144	  (comp.os.stratus newsgroup comment).
7145
714620040821
7147	+ fixes to build with Ada95 binding with gnat 3.4 (all warnings are
7148	  fatal, and gnat does not follow the guidelines for pragmas).
7149	  However that did find a coding error in Assume_Default_Colors().
7150	+ modify several terminfo entries to ensure xterm mouse and cursor
7151	  visibility are reset in rs2 string:  hurd, putty, gnome,
7152	  konsole-base, mlterm, Eterm, screen (Debian #265784, Debian #55637).
7153	  The xterm entries are left alone - old ones for compatibility, and
7154	  the new ones do not require this change. -TD
7155
715620040814
7157	+ fake a SIGWINCH in newterm() to accommodate buggy terminal emulators
7158	  and window managers (Debian #265631).
7159	> terminfo updates -TD
7160	+ remove dch/dch1 from rxvt because they are implemented inconsistently
7161	  with the common usage of bce/ech
7162	+ remove khome from vt220 (vt220's have no home key)
7163	+ add rxvt+pcfkeys
7164
716520040807
7166	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test, adding v/V toggles to cycle through
7167	  combinations of video attributes so that for instance bold and
7168	  underline can be tested.  This made the legend too crowded, added
7169	  a help window as well.
7170	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test to cycle through default colors if
7171	  the -d option is set.
7172	+ update putty terminfo entry (Robert de Bath).
7173
717420040731
7175	+ modify test/cardfile.c to allow it to read more data than can be
7176	  displayed.
7177	+ correct logic in resizeterm.c which kept it from processing all
7178	  levels of window hierarchy (reports by Folkert van Heusden,
7179	  Chris Share).
7180
718120040724
7182	+ modify "tic -cv" to ignore delays when comparing strings.  Also
7183	  modify it to ignore a canceled sgr string, e.g., for terminals which
7184	  cannot properly combine attributes in one control sequence.
7185	+ corrections for gnome and konsole entries (Redhat #122815, patch by
7186	  Hans de Goede)
7187	> terminfo updates -TD
7188	+ make ncsa-m rmacs/smacs consistent with sgr
7189	+ add sgr, rc/sc and ech to syscons entries
7190	+ add function-keys to decansi
7191	+ add sgr to mterm-ansi
7192	+ add sgr, civis, cnorm to emu
7193	+ correct/simplify cup in addrinfo
7194
719520040717
7196	> terminfo updates -TD
7197	+ add xterm-pc-fkeys
7198	+ review/update gnome and gnome-rh90 entries (prompted by Redhat
7199	  #122815).
7200	+ review/update konsole entries
7201	+ add sgr, correct sgr0 for kterm and mlterm
7202	+ correct tsl string in kterm
7203
720420040711
7205	+ add configure option --without-xterm-new
7206
720720040710
7208	+ add check in wget_wch() for printable bytes that are not part of a
7209	  multibyte character.
7210	+ modify wadd_wchnstr() to render text using window's background
7211	  attributes.
7212	+ improve tic's check to compare sgr and sgr0.
7213	+ fix c++ directory's .cc.i rule.
7214	+ modify logic in tgetent() which adjusts the termcap "me" string
7215	  to work with ISO-2022 string used in xterm-new (cf: 20010908).
7216	+ modify tic's check for conflicting function keys to omit that if
7217	  converting termcap to termcap format.
7218	+ add -U option to tic and infocmp.
7219	+ add rmam/smam to linux terminfo entry (Trevor Van Bremen)
7220	> terminfo updates -TD
7221	+ minor fixes for emu
7222	+ add emu-220
7223	+ change wyse acsc strings to use 'i' map rather than 'I'
7224	+ fixes for avatar0
7225	+ fixes for vp3a+
7226
722720040703
7228	+ use tic -x to install terminfo database -TD
7229	+ add -x to infocmp's usage message.
7230	+ correct field used for comparing O_ROWMAJOR in set_menu_format()
7231	  (report/patch by Tony Li).
7232	+ fix a missing nul check in set_field_buffer() from 20040508 changes.
7233	> terminfo updates -TD
7234	  + make xterm-xf86-v43 derived from xterm-xf86-v40 rather than
7235	    xterm-basic -TD
7236	  + align with xterm patch #192's use of xterm-new -TD
7237	  + update xterm-new and xterm-8bit for cvvis/cnorm strings -TD
7238	  + make xterm-new the default "xterm" entry -TD
7239
724020040626
7241	+ correct BUILD_CPPFLAGS substitution in ncurses/Makefile.in, to allow
7242	  cross-compiling from a separate directory tree (report/patch by
7243	  Dan Engel).
7244	+ modify is_term_resized() to ensure that window sizes are nonzero,
7245	  as documented in the manpage (report by Ian Collier).
7246	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro to make Hurd port build
7247	  (Debian #249214, report/patch by Jeff Bailey).
7248	+ configure-script mods from xterm, e.g., updates to CF_ADD_CFLAGS
7249	+ update config.guess, config.sub
7250	> terminfo updates -TD
7251	  + add mlterm
7252	  + add xterm-xf86-v44
7253	  + modify xterm-new aka xterm-xfree86 to accommodate luit, which
7254	    relies on G1 being used via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (report by
7255	    Juliusz Chroboczek)
7256	  + add 'hurd' entry
7257
725820040619
7259	+ reconsidered winsnstr(), decided after comparing other
7260	  implementations that wrapping is an X/Open documentation error.
7261	+ modify test/inserts.c to test all flavors of insstr().
7262
726320040605
7264	+ add setlocale() calls to a few test programs which may require it:
7265	  demo_forms.c, filter.c, ins_wide.c, inserts.c
7266	+ correct a few misspelled function names in ncurses-intro.html (report
7267	  by Tony Li).
7268	+ correct internal name of key_defined() manpage, which conflicted with
7269	  define_key().
7270
727120040529
7272	+ correct size of internal pad used for holding wide-character
7273	  field_buffer() results.
7274	+ modify data_ahead() to work with wide-characters.
7275
727620040522
7277	+ improve description of terminfo if-then-else expressions (suggested
7278	  by Arne Thomassen).
7279	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'd' test, allow it to use external file for
7280	  initial palette (added xterm-16color.dat and linux-color.dat), and
7281	  reset colors to the initial palette when starting/ending the test.
7282	+ change limit-check in init_color() to allow r/g/b component to
7283	  reach 1000 (cf: 20020928).
7284
728520040516
7286	+ modify form library to use cchar_t's rather than char's in the
7287	  wide-character configuration for storing data for field buffers.
7288	+ correct logic of win_wchnstr(), which did not work for more than
7289	  one cell.
7290
729120040508
7292	+ replace memset/memcpy usage in form library with for-loops to
7293	  simplify changing the datatype of FIELD.buf, part of wide-character
7294	  changes.
7295	+ fix some inconsistent use of #if/#ifdef (report by Alain Guibert).
7296
729720040501
7298	+ modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by
7299	  multibyte character strings, in the wide-character configuration
7300	  (adapted from patch by Philipp Tomsich).
7301	+ add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F"
7302	  comparisons.  This modifies infocmp to only report extended
7303	  capabilities if the -x option is given, making this more consistent
7304	  with tic.  Some scripts may break, since infocmp previous gave this
7305	  information without an option.
7306	+ modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the beginning
7307	  of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic.
7308
730920040424
7310	+ minor compiler-warning and test-program fixes.
7311
731220040417
7313	+ modify tic's missing-sgr warning to apply to terminfo only.
7314	+ free some memory leaks in tic.
7315	+ remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending
7316	  beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner).
7317	+ remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
7318	  that extend beyond the screen.  Solaris curses does this.
7319	+ add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older
7320	  curses.
7321	+ add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog.
7322
732320040403
7324	+ modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond
7325	  to an unsigned char.
7326	+ add some limit-checks to guard isprint(), etc., from being used on
7327	  values that do not fit into an unsigned char (report by Sami Farin).
7328
732920040328
7330	+ fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change.
7331
733220040327
7333	+ modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's
7334	  current locale rather than using getenv().  This fixes a case in tin
7335	  which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale
7336	  is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen).
7337	+ add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD.
7338	+ add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr
7339	  string.  This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with
7340	  color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places.
7341	+ correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the
7342	  original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before
7343	  20030802 (Debian #237629).
7344
734520040320
7346	+ modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of
7347	  A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from
7348	  being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the
7349	  raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879).
7350
735120040313
7352	+ fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report
7353	  by Jim Idle).
7354	+ remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses
7355	  some apropos script (Debian #237831).
7356
735720040306
7358	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text,
7359	  set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing
7360	  mode is shown in that test.
7361	+ change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake.
7362	+ correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which
7363	  did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419).
7364
736520040228
7366	+ modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a
7367	  multibyte string.
7368	+ split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it.  X/Open states
7369	  that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other
7370	  insert-functions.  Currently it does not wrap.
7371	+ check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by
7372	  Stanislav Ievlev).
7373	+ split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first.
7374	+ fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC,
7375	  which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report
7376	  by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev).
7377
737820040221
7379	+ some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete
7380	  (request by Mike Aubury).
7381	+ add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of
7382	  stdbool.h, e.g.,
7383		#define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0
7384		#include <curses.h>
7385	  (discussion on XFree86 mailing list).
7386
738720040214
7388	+ modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets
7389	  the name of the terminfo library.  This would allow a packager to
7390	  build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion
7391	  with Stanislav Ievlev).
7392	+ improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and
7393	  $(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew).
7394	+ add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename
7395	  its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to
7396	  ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory
7397	  (prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs).
7398
739920040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
7400	+ update TO-DO.
7401
740220040207 pre-release
7403	+ minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param,
7404	  and do not count %d if it follows a %p.
7405	+ correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255
7406	  range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests.  In POSIX
7407	  locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former
7408	  did.
7409	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac
7410	  OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix
7411	  verified by Scott Corscadden).
7412
741320040131 pre-release
7414	+ modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors
7415	  to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo
7416	  (patch by Stanislav Ievlev).
7417	+ document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage.
7418	+ document special features of unctrl() in manpage.
7419	+ documented interface changes in INSTALL.
7420	+ corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale
7421	  (Debian #230335, cf: 971206).
7422	+ updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
7423	+ fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package.
7424	+ minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5.
7425
742620040125 pre-release
7427	+ amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number
7428	  of cells for a possibly multi-cell character.  The 20030614 change
7429	  forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not
7430	  greater than zero.  However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the
7431	  range 128-255 can give this return value.  The logic now simply
7432	  ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without
7433	  modifying the displayed value.
7434
743520040124 pre-release
7436	+ looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above)
7437	+ modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since
7438	  that works better for cross-compiling.
7439
744020040117 pre-release
7441	+ modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
7442	  work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
7443	  zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
7444	+ add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
7445	  to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
7446	+ add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
7447	+ add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
7448	  Bianchi).
7449	+ modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
7450	  (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz (see Debian
7451	  #227586)).
7452	+ correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
7453	  exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss (see Debian #224443)).
7454	+ modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
7455	+ remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
7456	+ make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
7457	+ improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
7458	  CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
7459	+ add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
7460	  simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
7461	+ add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
7462	  patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
7463	+ fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
7464	  HPUX .so/.sl case.
7465	+ resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
7466	  NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
7467	+ make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
7468	  will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
7469	+ rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool.  The
7470	  intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
7471	  compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
7472	  does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).
7473
747420040110 pre-release
7475	+ change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4
7476	+ revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W
7477	  Sittler).
7478	+ simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the
7479	  configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav
7480	  Ievlev).
7481	+ remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav
7482	  Ievlev).
7483	+ modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs
7484	  such as tic are not linked with the upper-level ncurses library
7485	  (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
7486	+ move version.c from ncurses/base to ncurses/tinfo to allow linking
7487	  of tic, etc., using libtinfo (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
7488
748920040103
7490	+ adjust -D's to build ncursesw on OpenBSD.
7491	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT to make OS/2 build with EXEEXT.
7492	+ add pecho_wchar().
7493	+ remove <wctype.h> include from lib_slk_wset.c which is not needed (or
7494	  available) on older platforms.
7495
749620031227
7497	+ add -D's to build ncursew on FreeBSD 5.1.
7498	+ modify shared library configuration for FreeBSD 4.x/5.x to add the
7499	  soname information (request by Marc Glisse).
7500	+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() to not use MAX_ALIAS, but PATH_MAX only
7501	  for limiting the length of a filename in the terminfo database.
7502	+ modify termname() to return the terminal name used by setupterm()
7503	  rather than $TERM, without truncating to 14 characters as documented
7504	  by X/Open (report by Stanislav Ievlev, cf:  970719).
7505	+ re-add definition for _BSD_TYPES, lost in merge (cf: 20031206).
7506
750720031220
7508	+ add configure option --with-manpage-format=catonly to address
7509	  behavior of BSDI, allow install of man+cat files on NetBSD, whose
7510	  behavior has diverged by requiring both to be present.
7511	+ remove leading blanks from comment-lines in manlinks.sed script to
7512	  work with Tru64 4.0d.
7513	+ add screen.linux terminfo entry (discussion on mutt-users mailing
7514	  list).
7515
751620031213
7517	+ add a check for tic to flag missing backslashes for termcap
7518	  continuation lines.  ncurses reads the whole entry, but termcap
7519	  applications do not.
7520	+ add configure option "--with-manpage-aliases" extending
7521	  "--with-manpage-aliases" to provide the option of generating ".so"
7522	  files rather than symbolic links for manpage aliases.
7523	+ add bool definition in include/curses.h.in for configurations with no
7524	  usable C++ compiler (cf: 20030607).
7525	+ fix pathname of SigAction.h for building with --srcdir (reported by
7526	  Mike Castle).
7527
752820031206
7529	+ folded ncurses/base/sigaction.c into includes of ncurses/SigAction.h,
7530	  since that header is used only within ncurses/tty/lib_tstp.c, for
7531	  non-POSIX systems (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev).
7532	+ remove obsolete _nc_outstr() function (report by Stanislav Ievlev
7533	  <inger@altlinux.org>).
7534	+ add test/background.c and test/color_set.c
7535	+ modify color_set() function to work with color pair 0 (report by
7536	  George Andreou <gbandreo@tem.uoc.gr>).
7537	+ add configure option --with-trace, since defining TRACE seems too
7538	  awkward for some cases.
7539	+ remove a call to _nc_free_termtype() from read_termtype(), since the
7540	  corresponding buffer contents were already zeroed by a memset (cf:
7541	  20000101).
7542	+ improve configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and related definitions,
7543	  adding special cases for Solaris' __EXTENSIONS__ and FreeBSD's
7544	  __BSD_TYPES (reports by Marc Glisse <marc.glisse@normalesup.org>).
7545	+ small fixes to compile on Solaris and IRIX64 using cc.
7546	+ correct typo in check for pre-POSIX sort options in MKkey_defs.sh
7547	  (cf: 20031101).
7548
754920031129
7550	+ modify _nc_gettime() to avoid a problem with arithmetic on unsigned
7551	  values (Philippe Blain).
7552	+ improve the nanosleep() logic in napms() by checking for EINTR and
7553	  restarting (Philippe Blain).
7554	+ correct expression for "%D" in lib_tgoto.c (Juha Jarvi
7555	  <mooz@welho.com>).
7556
755720031122
7558	+ add linux-vt terminfo entry (Andrey V Lukyanov <land@long.yar.ru>).
7559	+ allow "\|" escape in terminfo; tic should not warn about this.
7560	+ save the full pathname of the trace-file the first time it is opened,
7561	  to avoid creating it in different directories if the application
7562	  opens and closes it while changing its working directory.
7563	+ modify configure script to provide a non-empty default for
7564	  $BROKEN_LINKER
7565
756620031108
7567	+ add DJGPP to special case of DOS-style drive letters potentially
7568	  appearing in TERMCAP environment variable.
7569	+ fix some spelling in comments (reports by Jason McIntyre, Jonathon
7570	  Gray).
7571	+ update config.guess, config.sub
7572
757320031101
7574	+ fix a memory leak in error-return from setupterm() (report by
7575	  Stanislav Ievlev <inger@altlinux.org>).
7576	+ use EXEEXT and OBJEXT consistently in makefiles.
7577	+ amend fixes for cross-compiling to use separate executable-suffix
7578	  BUILD_EXEEXT (cf: 20031018).
7579	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for sort utility that does not
7580	  recognize key options, e.g., busybox (report by Peter S Mazinger
7581	  <ps.m@gmx.net>).
7582	+ fix potential out-of-bounds indexing in _nc_infotocap() (found by
7583	  David Krause using some of the new malloc debugging features
7584	  under OpenBSD, patch by Ted Unangst).
7585	+ modify CF_LIB_SUFFIX for Itanium releases of HP-UX, which use a
7586	  ".so" suffix (patch by Jonathan Ward <Jonathan.Ward@hp.com>).
7587
758820031025
7589	+ update terminfo for xterm-xfree86 -TD
7590	+ add check for multiple "tc=" clauses in a termcap to tic.
7591	+ check for missing op/oc in tic.
7592	+ correct _nc_resolve_uses() and _nc_merge_entry() to allow infocmp and
7593	  tic to show cancelled capabilities.  These functions were ignoring
7594	  the state of the target entry, which should be untouched if cancelled.
7595	+ correct comment in tack/output.c (Debian #215806).
7596	+ add some null-pointer checks to lib_options.c (report by Michael
7597	  Bienia).
7598	+ regenerated html documentation.
7599	+ correction to tar-copy.sh, remove a trap command that resulted in
7600	  leaving temporary files (cf: 20030510).
7601	+ remove contact/maintainer addresses for Juergen Pfeifer (his request).
7602
760320031018
7604	+ updated test/configure to reflect changes for libtool (cf: 20030830).
7605	+ fix several places in tack/pad.c which tested and used the parameter-
7606	  and parameterless strings inconsistently, i.e., in pad_rin(),
7607	  pad_il(), pad_indn() and pad_dl() (Debian #215805).
7608	+ minor fixes for configure script and makefiles to cleanup executables
7609	  generated when cross-compiling for DJGPP.
7610	+ modify infocmp to omit check for $TERM for operations that do not
7611	  require it, e.g., "infocmp -e" used to build fallback list (report by
7612	  Egmont Koblinger).
7613
761420031004
7615	+ add terminfo entries for DJGPP.
7616	+ updated note about maintainer in ncurses-intro.html
7617
761820030927
7619	+ update terminfo entries for gnome terminal.
7620	+ modify tack to reset colors after each color test, correct a place
7621	  where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode.
7622	+ improve tack's bce test by making it set colors other than black
7623	  on white.
7624	+ plug a potential recursion between napms() and _nc_timed_wait()
7625	  (report by Philippe Blain).
7626
762720030920
7628	+ add --with-rel-version option to allow workaround to allow making
7629	  libtool on Darwin generate the "same" library names as with the
7630	  --with-shared option.  The Darwin ld program does not work well
7631	  with a zero as the minor-version value (request by Chris Zubrzycki).
7632	+ modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro to work with cross-compiling.
7633	+ modify tack to allow it to run from fallback terminfo data.
7634	> patch by Philippe Blain:
7635	+ improve PutRange() by adjusting call to EmitRange() and corresponding
7636	  return-value to not emit unchanged characters on the end of the
7637	  range.
7638	+ improve a check for changed-attribute by exiting a loop when the
7639	  change is found.
7640	+ improve logic in TransformLine(), eliminating a duplicated comparison
7641	  in the clr_bol logic.
7642
764320030913
7644	> patch by Philippe Blain:
7645	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
7646	  move the label 'nonlocal' just before the second gettimeofday() to
7647	  be able to compute the diff time when 'goto nonlocal' used.
7648	  Rename 'msec' to 'microsec' in the debug-message.
7649	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
7650	  Use _nc_outch() in carriage return/newline movement instead of
7651	  putchar() which goes to stdout.  Move test for xold>0 out of loop.
7652	+ in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c,
7653	  Set the flag SP->_buffered at the end of operations when all has been
7654	  successful (typeMalloc can fail).
7655	+ simplify NC_BUFFERED macro by moving check inside _nc_setbuf().
7656
765720030906
7658	+ modify configure script to avoid using "head -1", which does not
7659	  work if POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set.
7660	+ modify run_tic.in to avoid using wrong shared libraries when
7661	  cross-compiling (Dan Kegel).
7662
766320030830
7664	+ alter configure script help message to make it clearer that
7665	  --with-build-cc does not specify a cross-compiler (suggested by Dan
7666	  Kegel <dank@kegel.com>).
7667	+ modify configure script to accommodate libtool 1.5, as well as add an
7668	  parameter to the "--with-libtool" option which can specify the
7669	  pathname of libtool (report by Chris Zubrzycki).  We note that
7670	  libtool 1.5 has more than one bug in its C++ support, so it is not
7671	  able to install libncurses++, for instance, if $DESTDIR or the option
7672	  --with-install-prefix is used.
7673
767420030823
7675	> patch by Philippe Blain:
7676	+ move assignments to SP->_cursrow, SP->_curscol into online_mvcur().
7677	+ make baudrate computation in delay_output() consistent with the
7678	  assumption in _nc_mvcur_init(), i.e., a byte is 9 bits.
7679
768020030816
7681	+ modify logic in waddch_literal() to take into account zh_TW.Big5
7682	  whose multibyte sequences may contain "printable" characters, e.g.,
7683	  a "g" in the sequence "\247g" (Debian #204889, cf: 20030621).
7684	+ improve storage used by _nc_safe_strcpy() by ensuring that the size
7685	  is reset based on the initialization call, in case it were called
7686	  after other strcpy/strcat calls (report by Philippe Blain).
7687	> patch by Philippe Blain:
7688	+ remove an unused ifdef for REAL_ATTR & WANT_CHAR
7689	+ correct a place where _cup_cost was used rather than _cuu_cost
7690
769120030809
7692	+ fix a small memory leak in _nc_free_termtype().
7693	+ close trace-file if trace() is called with a zero parameter.
7694	+ free memory allocated for soft-key strings, in delscreen().
7695	+ fix an allocation size in safe_sprintf.c for the "*" format code.
7696	+ correct safe_sprintf.c to not return a null pointer if the format
7697	  happens to be an empty string.  This applies to the "configure
7698	  --enable-safe-sprintf" option (Redhat #101486).
7699
770020030802
7701	+ modify casts used for ABSENT_BOOLEAN and CANCELLED_BOOLEAN (report by
7702	  Daniel Jacobowitz).
7703	> patch by Philippe Blain:
7704	+ change padding for change_scroll_region to not be proportional to
7705	  the size of the scroll-region.
7706	+ correct error-return in _nc_safe_strcat().
7707
770820030726
7709	+ correct limit-checks in _nc_scroll_window() (report and test-case by
7710	  Thomas Graf <graf@dms.at> cf: 20011020).
7711	+ re-order configure checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE to avoid conflict with
7712	  _GNU_SOURCE check.
7713
771420030719
7715	+ use clr_eol in preference to blanks for bce terminals, so select and
7716	  paste will have fewer trailing blanks, e.g., when using xterm
7717	  (request by Vincent Lefevre).
7718	+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
7719	+ add configure --with-abi-version option (discussion with Charles
7720	  Wilson).
7721	> cygwin changes from Charles Wilson:
7722	  + aclocal.m4: on cygwin, use autodetected prefix for import
7723	    and static lib, but use "cyg" for DLL.
7724	  + include/ncurses_dll.h: correct the comments to reflect current
7725	    status of cygwin/mingw port.  Fix compiler warning.
7726	  + misc/run_tic.in: ensure that tic.exe can find the uninstalled
7727	    DLL, by adding the lib-directory to the PATH variable.
7728	  + misc/terminfo.src (nxterm|xterm-color): make xterm-color
7729	    primary instead of nxterm, to match XFree86's xterm.terminfo
7730	    usage and to prevent circular links.
7731	    (rxvt): add additional codes from rxvt.org.
7732	    (rxvt-color): new alias
7733	    (rxvt-xpm): new alias
7734	    (rxvt-cygwin): like rxvt, but with special acsc codes.
7735	    (rxvt-cygwin-native): ditto.  rxvt may be run under XWindows, or
7736	    with a "native" MSWin GUI.	Each takes different acsc codes,
7737	    which are both different from the "normal" rxvt's acsc.
7738	    (cygwin): cygwin-in-cmd.exe window.	 Lots of fixes.
7739	    (cygwinDBG): ditto.
7740	  + mk-1st.awk: use "cyg" for the DLL prefix, but "lib" for import
7741	    and static libs.
7742
774320030712
7744	+ update config.guess, config.sub
7745	+ add triples for configuring shared libraries with the Debian
7746	  GNU/FreeBSD packages (patch by Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>).
7747
774820030705
7749	+ modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS so it only applies to gcc, not g++.  Some
7750	  platforms have installed g++ along with the native C compiler, which
7751	  would not accept gcc warning options.
7752	+ add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 when configuring with --enable-widec, to
7753	  get mbstate_t declaration on HPUX 11.11 (report by David Ellement).
7754	+ add _nc_pathlast() to get rid of casts in _nc_basename() calls.
7755	+ correct a sign-extension in wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() from
7756	  20030628 (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
7757	+ work around omission of btowc() and wctob() from wide-character
7758	  support (sic) in NetBSD 1.6 using mbtowc() and wctomb() (report by
7759	  Gabor Z Papp).
7760	+ add portability note to curs_get_wstr.3x (Debian #199957).
7761
776220030628
7763	+ rewrite wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to call waddch() and wechochar()
7764	  respectively, to avoid calling waddch_noecho() with wide-character
7765	  data, since that function assumes its input is 8-bit data.
7766	  Similarly, modify waddnwstr() to call wadd_wch().
7767	+ remove logic from waddnstr() which transformed multibyte character
7768	  strings into wide-characters.  Rewrite of waddch_literal() from
7769	  20030621 assumes its input is raw multibyte data rather than wide
7770	  characters (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
7771
777220030621
7773	+ write getyx() and related 2-return macros in terms of getcury(),
7774	  getcurx(), etc.
7775	+ modify waddch_literal() in case an application passes bytes of a
7776	  multibyte character directly to waddch().  In this case, waddch()
7777	  must reassemble the bytes into a wide-character (report by Tomohiro
7778	  Kubota <kubota@debian.org>).
7779
778020030614
7781	+ modify waddch_literal() in case a multibyte value occupies more than
7782	  two cells.
7783	+ modify PutAttrChar() to compute the number of character cells that
7784	  are used in multibyte values.  This fixes a problem displaying
7785	  double-width characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen
7786	  <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
7787	+ add a null-pointer check for result of keyname() in _tracechar()
7788	+ modify _tracechar() to work around glibc sprintf bug.
7789
779020030607
7791	+ add a call to setlocale() in cursesmain.cc, making demo display
7792	  properly in a UTF-8 locale.
7793	+ add a fallback definition in curses.priv.h for MB_LEN_MAX (prompted
7794	  by discussion with Gabor Z Papp).
7795	+ use macros NCURSES_ACS() and NCURSES_WACS() to hide cast needed to
7796	  appease -Wchar-subscript with g++ 3.3 (Debian #195732).
7797	+ fix a redefinition of $RANLIB in the configure script when libtool
7798	  is used, which broke configure on Mac OS X (report by Chris Zubrzycki
7799	  <beren@mac.com>).
7800	+ simplify ifdef for bool declaration in curses.h.in (suggested by
7801	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
7802	+ remove configure script check to allow -Wconversion for older
7803	  versions of gcc (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young).
7804
780520030531
7806	+ regenerated html manpages.
7807	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in that disabled use of __attribute__()
7808	  for g++, since recent versions implement the cases which ncurses uses
7809	  (Debian #195230).
7810	+ modify _nc_get_token() to handle a case where an entry has no
7811	  description, and capabilities begin on the same line as the entry
7812	  name.
7813	+ fix a typo in ncurses_dll.h reported by gcc 3.3.
7814	+ add an entry for key_defined.3x to man_db.renames.
7815
781620030524
7817	+ modify setcchar() to allow converting control characters to complex
7818	  characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
7819	+ add tkterm entry -TD
7820	+ modify parse_entry.c to allow a terminfo entry with a leading
7821	  2-character name (report by Don Libes).
7822	+ corrected acsc in screen.teraterm, which requires a PC-style mapping.
7823	+ fix trace statements in read_entry.c to use lseek() rather than
7824	  tell().
7825	+ fix signed/unsigned warnings from Sun's compiler (gcc should give
7826	  these warnings, but it is unpredictable).
7827	+ modify configure script to omit -Winline for gcc 3.3, since that
7828	  feature is broken.
7829	+ modify manlinks.sed to add a few functions that were overlooked since
7830	  they return function pointers:  field_init, field_term, form_init,
7831	  form_term, item_init, item_term, menu_init and menu_term.
7832
783320030517
7834	+ prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot
7835	  be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report
7836	  by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.com>).
7837	+ change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted
7838	  by Debian #192860).
7839	+ add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there
7840	  are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the
7841	  current test programs.
7842	+ corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not
7843	  convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it.
7844	+ corrections to lib_get_wstr.c:
7845	  + null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally
7846	    failed.
7847	  + map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into
7848	    key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not
7849	    mentioned in the terminfo.
7850	+ modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line
7851	  drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221).
7852
785320030510
7854	+ make typography for program options in manpages consistent (report
7855	  by Miloslav Trmac <mitr@volny.cz>).
7856	+ correct dependencies in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, so the builds with
7857	  "--srcdir" work (report by Warren L Dodge).
7858	+ correct missing definition of $(CC) in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in
7859	  (reported by Warren L Dodge <warrend@mdhost.cse.tek.com>).
7860	+ fix typos and whitespace in manpages (patch by Jason McIntyre
7861	  <jmc@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl>).
7862
786320030503
7864	+ fix form_driver() cases for REQ_CLR_EOF, REQ_CLR_EOL, REQ_DEL_CHAR,
7865	  REQ_DEL_PREV and REQ_NEW_LINE, which did not ensure the cursor was at
7866	  the editing position before making modifications.
7867	+ add test/demo_forms and associated test/edit_field.c demos.
7868	+ modify test/configure.in to use test/modules for the list of objects
7869	  to compile rather than using the list of programs.
7870
787120030419
7872	+ modify logic of acsc to use the original character if no mapping is
7873	  defined, noting that Solaris does this.
7874	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to avoid using the acs_map[] array since
7875	  20021231 changes it to no longer contain information from the acsc
7876	  string.
7877	+ modify makefile rules in c++, progs, tack and test to ensure that
7878	  the compiler flags (e.g., $CFLAGS or $CCFLAGS) are used in the link
7879	  command (report by Jose Luis Rico Botella <informatica@serpis.com>).
7880	+ modify soft-key initialization to use A_REVERSE if A_STANDOUT would
7881	  not be shown when colors are used, i.e., if ncv#1 is set in the
7882	  terminfo as is done in "screen".
7883
788420030412
7885	+ add a test for slk_color(), in ncurses.c
7886	+ fix some issues reported by valgrind in the slk_set() and slk_wset()
7887	  code, from recent rewrite.
7888	+ modify ncurses 'E' test to use show previous label via slk_label(),
7889	  as in 'e' test.
7890	+ modify wide-character versions of NewChar(), NewChar2() macros to
7891	  ensure that the whole struct is initialized.
7892
789320030405
7894	+ modify setupterm() to check if the terminfo and terminal-modes have
7895	  already been read.  This ensures that it does not reinvoke
7896	  def_prog_mode() when an application calls more than one function,
7897	  such as tgetent() and initscr() (report by Olaf Buddenhagen).
7898
789920030329
7900	+ add 'E' test to ncurses.c, to exercise slk_wset().
7901	+ correct handling of carriage-return in wgetn_wstr(), used in demo of
7902	  slk_wset().
7903	+ first draft of slk_wset() function.
7904
790520030322
7906	+ improved warnings in tic when suppressing items to fit in termcap's
7907	  1023-byte limit.
7908	+ built a list in test/README showing which externals are being used
7909	  by either programs in the test-directory or via internal library
7910	  calls.
7911	+ adjust include-options in CF_ETIP_DEFINES to avoid missing
7912	  ncurses_dll.h, fixing special definitions that may be needed for
7913	  etip.h (reported by Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>).
7914
791520030315
7916	+ minor fixes for cardfile.c, to make it write the updated fields to
7917	  a file when ^W is given.
7918	+ add/use _nc_trace_bufcat() to eliminate some fixed buffer limits in
7919	  trace code.
7920
792120030308
7922	+ correct a case in _nc_remove_string(), used by define_key(), to avoid
7923	  infinite loop if the given string happens to be a substring of other
7924	  strings which are assigned to keys (report by John McCutchan).
7925	+ add key_defined() function, to tell which keycode a string is bound
7926	  to (discussion with John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org>).
7927	+ correct keybound(), which reported definitions in the wrong table,
7928	  i.e., the list of definitions which are disabled by keyok().
7929	+ modify demo_keydef.c to show the details it changes, and to check
7930	  for errors.
7931
793220030301
7933	+ restructured test/configure script, make it work for libncursesw.
7934	+ add description of link_fieldtype() to manpage (report by
7935	  L Dee Holtsclaw <dee@sunbeltsoft.com>).
7936
793720030222
7938	+ corrected ifdef's relating to configure check for wchar_t, etc.
7939	+ if the output is a socket or other non-tty device, use 1 millisecond
7940	  for the cost in mvcur; previously it was 9 milliseconds because the
7941	  baudrate was not known.
7942	+ in _nc_get_tty_mode(), initialize the TTY buffer on error, since
7943	  glibc copies uninitialized data in that case, as noted by valgrind.
7944	+ modify tput to use the same parameter analysis as tparm() does, to
7945	  provide for user-defined strings, e.g., for xterm title, a
7946	  corresponding capability might be
7947		title=\E]2;%p1%s^G,
7948	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid passing "#" tokens through the C
7949	  preprocessor.  This works around Mac OS X's preprocessor, which
7950	  insists on adding a blank on each side of the token (report/analysis
7951	  by Kevin Murphy <murphy@genome.chop.edu>).
7952
795320030215
7954	+ add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely
7955	  on preprocessor definitions.  Also work around for gcc fixinclude
7956	  bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols
7957	  apparently typedef'd.
7958	+ if database is disabled, do not generate run_tic.sh
7959	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking when termcap is read.
7960
796120030208
7962	+ add checking in tic for incomplete line-drawing character mapping.
7963	+ updated configure script to reflect fix for AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL,
7964	  which is broken in autoconf 2.5x for Mac OS X 10.2.3 (report by
7965	  Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl>).
7966	+ make return value from _nc_printf_string() consistent.  Before,
7967	  depending on whether --enable-safe-sprintf was used, it might not be
7968	  cached for reallocating.
7969
797020030201
7971	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking in lib_tparm.c, hardscroll.c
7972	+ correct a potentially-uninitialized value if _read_termtype() does
7973	  not read as much data as expected (report by Wolfgang Rohdewald
7974	  <wr6@uni.de>).
7975	+ correct several places where the aclocal.m4 macros relied on cache
7976	  variable names which were incompatible (as usual) between autoconf
7977	  2.13 and 2.5x, causing the test for broken-linker to give incorrect
7978	  results (reports by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl> and Thomas Esser
7979	  <te@dbs.uni-hannover.de>).
7980	+ do not try to open gpm mouse driver if standard output is not a tty;
7981	  the gpm library does not make this check (bug report for dialog
7982	  by David Oliveira <davidoliveira@develop.prozone.ws>).
7983
798420030125
7985	+ modified emx.src to correspond more closely to terminfo.src, added
7986	  emx-base to the latter -TD
7987	+ add configure option for FreeBSD sysmouse, --with-sysmouse, and
7988	  implement support for that in lib_mouse.c, lib_getch.c
7989
799020030118
7991	+ revert 20030105 change to can_clear_with(), does not work for the
7992	  case where the update is made on cells which are blanks with
7993	  attributes, e.g., reverse.
7994	+ improve ifdef's to guard against redefinition of wchar_t and wint_t
7995	  in curses.h (report by Urs Jansen).
7996
799720030111
7998	+ improve mvcur() by checking if it is safe to move when video
7999	  attributes are set (msgr), and if not, reset/restore attributes
8000	  within that function rather than doing it separately in the GoTo()
8001	  function in tty_update.c (suggested by Philippe Blain).
8002	+ add a message in run_tic.in to explain more clearly what does not
8003	  work when attempting to create a symbolic link for /usr/lib/terminfo
8004	  on OS/2 and other platforms with no symbolic links (report by John
8005	  Polterak).
8006	+ change several sed scripts to avoid using "\+" since it is not a BRE
8007	  (basic regular expression).  One instance caused terminfo.5 to be
8008	  misformatted on FreeBSD (report by Kazuo Horikawa
8009	  <horikawa@FreeBSD.org> (see FreeBSD docs/46709)).
8010	+ correct misspelled 'wint_t' in curs_get_wch.3x (Michael Elkins).
8011
801220030105
8013	+ improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic
8014	  variables (comments by Mark I Manning IV <mark4th@earthlink.net>).
8015	+ demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to
8016	  use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a
8017	  specialized type for the middle initial/name.
8018	+ fix MKterminfo.sh, another workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature
8019	  of sed 4.0
8020	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8021	+ optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter
8022	  is indeed a "blank".
8023	+ simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear
8024	  sections as small as one line.
8025	+ improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying
8026	  to use it.
8027	+ use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since
8028	  the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines
8029	  affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region.
8030
803120021231
8032	+ rewrite of lib_acs.c conflicts with copying of SCREEN acs_map to/from
8033	  global acs_map[] array; removed the lines that did the copying.
8034
803520021228
8036	+ change some overlooked tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp()
8037	  (report by Philippe Blain).
8038	+ modify lib_getch.c to avoid recursion via wgetnstr() when the input
8039	  is not a tty and consequently mode-changes do not work (report by
8040	  <R.Chamberlin@querix.com>).
8041	+ rewrote lib_acs.c to allow PutAttrChar() to decide how to render
8042	  alternate-characters, i.e., to work with Linux console and UTF-8
8043	  locale.
8044	+ correct line/column reference in adjust_window(), needed to make
8045	  special windows such as curscr track properly when resizing (report
8046	  by Lucas Gonze <lgonze@panix.com>).
8047	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8048	+ correct the value used for blank in ClrBottom() (broken in 20000708).
8049	+ correct an off-by-one in GoTo() parameter in _nc_scrolln().
8050
805120021221
8052	+ change several tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp(), to
8053	  enable padding which may be needed for some terminals (patch by
8054	  Philippe Blain).
8055	+ use '%' as sed substitute delimiter in run_tic script to avoid
8056	  problems with pathname delimiters such as ':' and '@' (report by John
8057	  Polterak).
8058	+ implement a workaround so that line-drawing works with screen's
8059	  crippled UTF-8 support (tested with 3.9.13).  This only works with
8060	  the wide-character support (--enable-widec); the normal library will
8061	  simply suppress line-drawing when running in a UTF-8 locale in screen.
8062
806320021214
8064	+ allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
8065	  overridden from the environment.
8066	+ make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with
8067	  the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki).
8068	+ modify ncurses/modules to allow
8069		configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs
8070	  to build (report by Gary Samuelson).
8071	+ fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by
8072	  Gary Samuelson <gary.samuelson@verizon.com>).
8073	+ correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which
8074	  force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report
8075	  by Sam Varshavchik).
8076	+ small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which
8077	  gnatmake adds to its version-message.
8078	> Maciej W Rozycki <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>:
8079	+ use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross
8080	  compiling.
8081	+ use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
8082	  comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
8083	  traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.
8084	+ change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host"
8085	  when referring to the --with-build-XXX options.
8086
808720021206
8088	+ modify CF_GNAT_VERSION to print gnatmake's version, and to allow for
8089	  possible gnat versions such as 3.2 (report by Chris Lingard
8090	  <chris@stockwith.co.uk>).
8091	+ modify #define's for CKILL and other default control characters in
8092	  tset to use the system's default values if they are defined.
8093	+ correct interchanged defaults for kill and interrupt characters
8094	  in tset, which caused it to report unnecessarily (Debian #171583).
8095	+ repair check for missing C++ compiler, which is broken in autoconf
8096	  2.5x by hardcoding it to g++ (report by Martin Mokrejs).
8097	+ update config.guess, config.sub (2002-11-30)
8098	+ modify configure script to skip --with-shared, etc., when the
8099	  --with-libtool option is given, since they would be ignored anyway.
8100	+ fix to allow "configure --with-libtool --with-termlib" to build.
8101	+ modify configure script to show version number of libtool, to help
8102	  with bug reports.  libtool still gets confused if the installed
8103	  ncurses libraries are old, since it ignores the -L options at some
8104	  point (tested with libtool 1.3.3 and 1.4.3).
8105	+ reorder configure script's updating of $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to
8106	  prevent -I options in the user's environment from introducing
8107	  conflicts with the build -I options (may be related to reports by
8108	  Patrick Ash and George Goffe).
8109	+ rename test/define_key.c to test/demo_defkey.c, test/keyok.c to
8110	  test/demo_keyok.c to allow building these with libtool.
8111
811220021123
8113	+ add example program test/define_key.c for define_key().
8114	+ add example program test/keyok.c for keyok().
8115	+ add example program test/ins_wide.c for wins_wch() and wins_wstr().
8116	+ modify wins_wch() and wins_wstr() to interpret tabs by using the
8117	  winsch() internal function.
8118	+ modify setcchar() to allow for wchar_t input strings that have
8119	  more than one spacing character.
8120
812120021116
8122	+ fix a boundary check in lib_insch.c (patch by Philippe Blain).
8123	+ change type for *printw functions from NCURSES_CONST to const
8124	  (prompted by comment by Pedro Palhoto Matos <plpm@mega.ist.utl.pt>,
8125	  but really from a note on X/Open's website stating that either is
8126	  acceptable, and the latter will be used in a future revision).
8127	+ add xterm-1002, xterm-1003 terminfo entries to demonstrate changes in
8128	  lib_mouse.c (20021026) -TD
8129	+ add screen-bce, screen-s entries from screen 3.9.13 (report by
8130	  Adam Lazur <zal@debian.org>) -TD
8131	+ add mterm terminfo entries -TD
8132
813320021109
8134	+ split-out useful fragments in terminfo for vt100 and vt220 numeric
8135	  keypad, i.e., vt100+keypad, vt100+pfkeys, vt100+fnkeys and
8136	  vt220+keypad.  The last as embedded in various entries had ka3 and
8137	  kb2 interchanged (report/discussion with Leonard den Ottolander
8138	  <leonardjo@hetnet.nl>).
8139	+ add check in tic for keypads consistent with vt100 layout.
8140	+ improve checks in tic for color capabilities
8141
814220021102
8143	+ check for missing/empty/illegal terminfo name in _nc_read_entry()
8144	  (report by Martin Mokrejs, where $TERM was set to an empty string).
8145	+ rewrote lib_insch.c, combining it with lib_insstr.c so both handle
8146	  tab and other control characters consistently (report by Philippe
8147	  Blain).
8148	+ remove an #undef for KEY_EVENT from curses.tail used in the
8149	  experimental NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS feature.  The #undef confuses
8150	  dpkg's build script (Debian #165897).
8151	+ fix MKlib_gen.sh, working around the ironically named POSIXLY_CORRECT
8152	  feature of GNU sed 4.0 (reported by Ervin Nemeth <airwin@inf.bme.hu>).
8153
815420021026
8155	+ implement logic in lib_mouse.c to handle position reports which are
8156	  generated when XFree86 xterm is initialized with private modes 1002
8157	  or 1003.  These are returned to the application as the
8158	  REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION mask, which was not implemented.  Tested both
8159	  with ncurses 'a' menu (prompted by discussion with Larry Riedel
8160	  <Larry@Riedel.org>).
8161	+ modify lib_mouse.c to look for "XM" terminfo string, which allows
8162	  one to override the escape sequence used to enable/disable mouse
8163	  mode.  In particular this works for XFree86 xterm private modes
8164	  1002 and 1003.  If "XM" is missing (note that this is an extended
8165	  name), lib_mouse uses the conventional private mode 1000.
8166	+ correct NOT_LOCAL() macro in lib_mvcur.c to refer to screen_columns
8167	  where it used screen_lines (report by Philippe Blain).
8168	+ correct makefile rules for the case when both --with-libtool and
8169	  --with-gpm are given (report by Mr E_T <troll@logi.net.au>).
8170	+ add note to terminfo manpage regarding the differences between
8171	  setaf/setab and setf/setb capabilities (report by Pavel Roskin).
8172
817320021019
8174	+ remove redundant initialization of TABSIZE in newterm(), since it is
8175	  already done in setupterm() (report by Philippe Blain).
8176	+ add test/inserts.c, to test winnstr() and winsch().
8177	+ replace 'sort' in dist.mk with script that sets locale to POSIX.
8178	+ update URLs in announce.html.in (patch by Frederic L W Meunier).
8179	+ remove glibc add-on files, which are no longer needed (report by
8180	  Frederic L W Meunier).
8181
818220021012 5.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
8183	+ modify ifdef's in etip.h.in to allow the etip.h header to compile
8184	  with gcc 3.2 (patch by Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy@is-vn.bg>).
8185	+ add logic to setupterm() to make it like initscr() and newterm(),
8186	  by checking for $NCURSES_TRACE environment variable and enabling
8187	  the debug trace in that case.
8188	+ modify setupterm() to ensure that it initializes the baudrate, for
8189	  applications such as tput (report by Frank Henigman).
8190	+ modify definition of bits used for command-line and library debug
8191	  traces to avoid overlap, using new definition TRACE_SHIFT to relate
8192	  the two.
8193	+ document tput's interpretation of parameterized strings according to
8194	  whether parameters are given, etc. (discussion with Robert De Bath).
8195
819620021005 pre-release
8197	+ correct winnwstr() to account for non-character cells generated when
8198	  a double-width character is added (report by Michael Bienia
8199	  <michael@vorlon.ping.de>).
8200	+ modify _nc_viswbuf2n() to provide better results using wctomb().
8201	+ correct logic in _nc_varargs() which broke tracing of parameters for
8202	  formats such as "%.*s".
8203	+ correct scale factor in linux-c and linux-c-nc terminfo entries
8204	  (report Floyd Davidson).
8205	+ change tic -A option to -t, add the same option to infocmp for
8206	  consistency.
8207	+ correct "%c" implementation in lib_tparm.c, which did not map a null
8208	  character to a 128 (cf: 980620) (patch by Frank Henigman
8209	  <fjhenigman@mud.cgl.uwaterloo.ca>).
8210
821120020928 pre-release
8212	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for POSIX sort -k option, use that if
8213	  it is found, to accommodate newer utility which dropped the
8214	  compatibility support for +number options (reported by Andrey A
8215	  Chernov).
8216	+ modify linux terminfo entry to use color palette feature from
8217	  linux-c-nc entry (comments by Tomasz Wasiak and Floyd Davidson).
8218	+ restore original color definitions in endwin() if init_color() was
8219	  used, and resume those colors on the next doupdate() or refresh()
8220	  (report by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@komputom.com.pl>).
8221	+ improve debug-traces by modifying MKlib_gen.sh to generate calls
8222	  to returnBool() and returnAttr().
8223	+ add/use _nc_visbufn() and _nc_viswbufn() to limit the debug trace
8224	  of waddnstr() and similar functions to match the parameters as used.
8225	+ add/use _nc_retrace_bool() and _nc_retrace_unsigned().
8226	+ correct type used by _nc_retrace_chtype().
8227	+ add debug traces to some functions in lib_mouse.c
8228	+ modify lib_addch.c to handle non-spacing characters.
8229	+ correct parameter of RemAttr() in lib_bkgd.c, which caused the c++
8230	  demo's boxes to lose the A_ALTCHARSET flag (broken in 20020629).
8231	+ correct width computed in _tracedump(), which did not account for
8232	  the attributes (broken in 20010602).
8233	+ modify test/tracemunch to replace addresses for windows other than
8234	  curscr, newscr and stdscr with window0, window1, etc.
8235
823620020921 pre-release
8237	+ redid fix for edit_man.sed path.
8238	+ workaround for Cygwin bug which makes subprocess writes to stdout
8239	  result in core dump.
8240	+ documented getbegx(), etc.
8241	+ minor fixes to configure script to use '%' consistently as a sed
8242	  delimiter rather than '@'.
8243	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8244	+ add check in lib_overlay.c to ensure that the windows to be merged
8245	  actually overlap, and in copywin(), limit the area to be touched
8246	  to the lines given for the destination window.
8247
824820020914 pre-release
8249	+ modified curses.h so that if the wide-character version is installed
8250	  overwriting /usr/include/curses.h, and if it relied on libutf8.h,
8251	  then applications that use that header for wide-character support
8252	  must define HAVE_LIBUTF8_H.
8253	+ modify putwin(), getwin() and dupwin() to allow them to operate on
8254	  pads (request by Philippe Blain).
8255	+ correct attribute-merging in wborder(), broken in 20020216 (report
8256	  by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@grubasek.komputom.com.pl>).
8257	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8258	+ corrected pop-counts in tparam_internal() to '!' and '~' cases.
8259	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in one place that used sizeof(chtype).
8260	+ remove some unused variables from mvcur test-driver.
8261
826220020907 pre-release
8263	+ change configure script to allow install of widec-character
8264	  (ncursesw) headers to overwrite normal (ncurses) headers, since the
8265	  latter is a compatible subset of the former.
8266	+ fix path of edit_man.sed in configure script, needed to regenerate
8267	  html manpages on Debian.
8268	+ fix mismatched enums in vsscanf.c, which caused warning on Solaris.
8269	+ update README.emx to reflect current patch used for autoconf.
8270	+ change web- and ftp-site to invisible-island.net
8271	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8272	+ change case for 'P' in tparam_internal() to indicate that it pops
8273	  a variable from the stack.
8274	+ correct sense of precision and width in parse_format(), to avoid
8275	  confusion.
8276	+ modify lib_tparm.c, absorb really_get_space() into get_space().
8277	+ modify getwin() and dupwin() to copy the _notimeout, _idlok and
8278	  _idcok window fields.
8279	+ better fix for _nc_set_type(), using typeMalloc().
8280
828120020901 pre-release
8282	+ change minor version to 3, i.e., ncurses 5.3
8283	+ update config.guess, config.sub
8284	+ retest build with each configure option; minor ifdef fixes.
8285	+ make keyname() return a null pointer rather than "UNKNOWN STRING" to
8286	  match XSI.
8287	+ modify handling of wide line-drawing character functions to use the
8288	  normal line-drawing characters when not in UTF-8 locale.
8289	+ add check/fix to comp_parse.c to suppress warning about missing acsc
8290	  string.  This happens in configurations where raw termcap information
8291	  is processed; tic already does this and other checks.
8292	+ modify tic's check for ich/ich1 versus rmir/smir to only warn about
8293	  ich1, to match xterm patch #70 notes.
8294	+ moved information for ripped-off lines into SCREEN struct to allow
8295	  use in resizeterm().
8296	+ add experimental wgetch_events(), ifdef'd with NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
8297	  (adapted from patch by Ilya Zakharevich - see ncurses/README.IZ).
8298	+ amend check in kgetch() from 20020824 to look only for function-keys,
8299	  otherwise escape sequences are not resolved properly.
8300	> patch by Philippe Blain:
8301	+ removed redundant assignment to SP->_checkfd from newterm().
8302	+ check return-value of setupterm() in restartterm().
8303	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in a few places that used sizeof(chtype).
8304	+ prevent dupwin() from duplicating a pad.
8305	+ prevent putwin() from writing a pad.
8306	+ use typeRealloc() or typeMalloc() in preference to direct calls on
8307	  _nc_doalloc().
8308
830920020824
8310	+ add a check in kgetch() for cooked characters in the fifo to avoid
8311	  calling fifo_push() when a KEY_RESIZE is available (report/analysis
8312	  by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>).
8313	+ fix an overlooked case for Redhat #68199 (Philippe Blain).
8314	+ ensure clearerr() is called before using ferror() e.g., in
8315	  lib_screen.c (report by Philippe Blain).
8316
831720020817
8318	+ modify lib_screen.c and lib_newwin.c to maintain the SCREEN-specific
8319	  pointers for curscr/stdscr/newscr when scr_save() and scr_restore()
8320	  modify the global curscr/stdscr/newscr variables.  Fixes Redhat
8321	  #68199.
8322	+ add checks for null pointer in calls to tparm() and tgoto() based on
8323	  FreeBSD bug report.  If ncurses were built with termcap support, and
8324	  the first call to tgoto() were a zero-length string, the result would
8325	  be a null pointer, which was not handled properly.
8326	+ correct a typo in terminfo.head, which gave the octal code for colon
8327	  rather than comma.
8328	+ remove the "tic -u" option from 20020810, since it did not account
8329	  for nested "tc=" clauses, and when that was addressed, was still
8330	  unsatisfactory.
8331
833220020810
8333	+ add tic -A option to suppress capabilities which are commented out
8334	  when translating to termcap.
8335	+ add tic -u option to provide older behavior of "tc=" clauses.
8336	+ modified tic to expand all but the final "tc=" clause in a termcap
8337	  entry, to accommodate termcap libraries which do not handle multiple
8338	  tc clauses.
8339	+ correct typo in curs_inopts.3x regarding CS8/CS7 usage (report by
8340	  Philippe Blain).
8341	+ remove a couple of redundant uses of A_ATTRIBUTES in expressions
8342	  using AttrOf(), which already incorporates that mask (report by
8343	  Philippe Blain).
8344	+ document TABSIZE variable.
8345	+ add NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS environment variable, to allow users to
8346	  override compiled-in default black-on-white assumption used in
8347	  assume_default_colors().
8348	+ correct an off-by-one comparison against max_colors in COLORFGBG
8349	  logic.
8350	+ correct a use of uninitialized memory found by valgrind (reported by
8351	  Olaf Buddenhagen <olafBuddenhagen@web.de>).
8352	+ modified wresize() to ensure that a failed realloc will not corrupt
8353	  the window structure, and to make subwindows fit within the resized
8354	  window (completes Debian #87678, Debian #101699)
8355
835620020803
8357	+ fix an off-by-one in lib_pad.c check for limits of pad (patch by
8358	  Philippe Blain).
8359	+ revise logic for BeOS in lib_twait.c altered in 20011013 to restore
8360	  logic used by lib_getch.c's support for GPM or EMX mouse (report by
8361	  Philippe Blain)
8362	+ remove NCURSES_CONST from several prototypes in curses.wide, to make
8363	  the --enable-const --enable-widec configure options to work together
8364	  (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@yahoo.com>).
8365
836620020727
8367	+ finish no-leak checking in cardfile.c, using this for testing changes
8368	  to resizeterm().
8369	+ simplify _nc_freeall() using delscreen().
8370
837120020720
8372	+ check error-return from _nc_set_tty_mode() in _nc_initscr() and
8373	  reset_prog_mode() (report/patch by Philippe Blain).
8374	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52, to address
8375	  problem with identifying C++ bool type.
8376	+ correct/improve logic to produce an exit status for errors in tput,
8377	  which did not exit with an error when told to put a string not in the
8378	  current terminfo entry (report by David Gomez <david@pleyades.net>).
8379	+ modify configure script AC_OUTPUT() call to work around defect in
8380	  autoconf 2.52 which adds an ifdef'd include to the generated
8381	  configure definitions.
8382	+ remove fstat() check from scr_init(), which also fixes a missing
8383	  include for <sys/stat.h> from 20020713 (reported by David Ellement,
8384	  fix suggested by Philippe Blain).
8385	+ update curs_scanw.3x manpage to note that XSI curses differs from
8386	  SVr4 curses: return-values are incompatible.
8387	+ correct several prototypes in manpages which used const
8388	  inconsistently with the curses.h file, and removed spurious const's
8389	  in a few places from curses.h, e.g., for wbkgd() (report by Glenn
8390	  Maynard <glenn@zewt.org>).
8391	+ change internal type used by tparm() to long, to work with LP64 model.
8392	+ modify nc_alloc.h to allow building with g++, for testing.
8393
839420020713
8395	+ add resize-handling to cardfile.c test program.
8396	+ altered resizeterm() to avoid having it fail when a child window
8397	  cannot be resized because it would be larger than its parent.  (More
8398	  work must be done on this, but it works well enough to integrate).
8399	+ improve a limit-check in lib_refresh.c
8400	+ remove check in lib_screen.c relating dumptime to file's modification
8401	  times, since that would not necessarily work for remotely mounted
8402	  filesystems.
8403	+ modify lrtest to simplify debugging changes to resizeterm, e.g.,
8404	  t/T commands to enable/disable tracing.
8405	+ updated status of multibyte support in TO-DO.
8406	+ update contact info in source-files (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
8407
840820020706
8409	+ add Caps.hpux11, as an example.
8410	+ modify version_filter(), used to implement -R option for tic and
8411	  infocmp, to use computed array offsets based on the Caps.* file which
8412	  is actually configured, rather than constants which correspond to
8413	  the Caps file.
8414	+ reorganized lib_raw.c to avoid updating SP and cur_term state if the
8415	  functions fail (reported by Philippe Blain).
8416	+ add -Wundef to gcc warnings, adjust a few ifdef's to accommodate gcc.
8417
841820020629
8419	+ correct parameters to setcchar() in ncurses.c (cf: 20020406).
8420	+ set locale in most test programs (view.c and ncurses.c were the
8421	  only ones).
8422	+ add configure option --with-build-cppflags (report by Maksim A
8423	  Nikulin <M.A.Nikulin@inp.nsk.su>).
8424	+ correct a typo in wide-character logic for lib_bkgnd.c (Philippe
8425	  Blain).
8426	+ modify lib_wacs.c to not cancel the acsc, smacs, rmacs strings when
8427	  in UTF-8 locale.  Wide-character functions use Unicode values, while
8428	  narrow-character functions use the terminfo data.
8429	+ fix a couple of places in Ada95/samples which did not compile with
8430	  gnat 3.14
8431	+ modify mkinstalldirs so the DOS-pathname case is locale-independent.
8432	+ fix locale problem in MKlib_gen.sh by forcing related variables to
8433	  POSIX (C), using same approach as autoconf (set variables only if
8434	  they were set before).  Update MKterminfo.sh and MKtermsort.sh to
8435	  match.
8436
843720020622
8438	+ add charset to generated html.
8439	+ add mvterm entry, adapted from a FreeBSD bug-report by Daniel Rudy
8440	  <dcrudy@pacbell.net> -TD
8441	+ add rxvt-16color, ibm+16color entries -TD
8442	+ modify check in --disable-overwrite option so that it is used by
8443	  default unless the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr, in attempt to
8444	  work around packagers, e.g., for Sun's freeware, who do not read the
8445	  INSTALL notes.
8446
844720020615
8448	+ modify wgetch() to allow returning ungetch'd KEY_RESIZE as a function
8449	  key code in get_wch().
8450	+ extended resize-handling in test/ncurses 'a' menu to the entire
8451	  stack of windows created with 'w' commands.
8452	+ improve $COLORFGBG feature by interpreting an out-of-range color
8453	  value as an SGR 39 or 49, for foreground/background respectively.
8454	+ correct a typo in configure --enable-colorfgbg option, and move it
8455	  to the experimental section (cf: 20011208).
8456
845720020601
8458	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to remove function-key definitions that do
8459	  not fit into the 1023-byte limit for generated termcaps.  This makes
8460	  hds200 fit.
8461	+ more improvements to tic's warnings, including logic to ignore
8462	  differences between delay values in sgr strings.
8463	+ move definition of KEY_RESIZE into MKkeydefs.sh script, to
8464	  accommodate Caps.osf1r5 which introduced a conflicting definition.
8465
846620020525
8467	+ add simple resize-handling in test/ncurses.c 'a' menu.
8468	+ fixes in keyname() and _tracechar() to handle negative values.
8469	+ make tic's warnings about mismatches in sgr strings easier to follow.
8470	+ correct tic checks for number of parameters in smgbp and smglp.
8471	+ improve scoansi terminfo entry, and add scoansi-new entry -TD
8472	+ add pcvt25-color terminfo entry -TD
8473	+ add kf13-kf48 strings to cons25w terminfo entry (reported by Stephen
8474	  Hurd <deuce@lordlegacy.org> in newsgroup lucky.freebsd.bugs) -TD
8475	+ add entrypoint _nc_trace_ttymode(), use this to distinguish the
8476	  Ottyb and Nttyb members of terminal (aka cur_term), for tracing.
8477
847820020523
8479	+ correct and simplify logic for lib_pad.c change in 20020518 (reported
8480	  by Mike Castle).
8481
848220020518
8483	+ fix lib_pad.c for case of drawing a double-width character which
8484	  falls off the left margin of the pad (patch by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij
8485	  <lerdsuwa@users.sourceforge.net>)
8486	+ modify configure script to work around broken gcc 3.1 "--version"
8487	  option, which adds unnecessary trash to the requested information.
8488	+ adjust ifdef's in case SIGWINCH is not defined, e.g., with DJGPP
8489	  (reported by Ben Decker <deckerben@freenet.de>).
8490
849120020511
8492	+ implement vid_puts(), vid_attr(), term_attrs() based on the narrow-
8493	  character versions as well.
8494	+ implement erasewchar(), killwchar() based on erasechar() and
8495	  killchar().
8496	+ modify erasechar() and killchar() to return ERR if the value was
8497	  VDISABLE.
8498	+ correct a bug in wresize() in handling subwindows (based on patch by
8499	  Roger Gammans <rgammans@computer-surgery.co.uk>, report by Scott Beck
8500	  <scott@gossamer-threads.com>).
8501	+ improve test/tclock.c by making the second-hand update more often
8502	  if gettimeofday() is available.
8503
850420020429
8505	+ workaround for Solaris sed with MKlib_gen.sh (reported by Andy
8506	  Tsouladze <andyt@mypoints.com>).
8507
850820020427
8509	+ correct return-value from getcchar(), making it consistent with
8510	  Solaris and Tru64.
8511	+ reorder loops that generate makefile rules for different models vs
8512	  subsets so configure --with-termlib works again.  This was broken by
8513	  logic added to avoid duplicate rules in changes to accommodate cygwin
8514	  dll's (reported by George.R.Goffe@seagate.com).
8515	+ update config.guess, config.sub
8516
851720020421
8518	+ modify ifdef's in write_entry.c to allow use of symbolic links on
8519	  platforms with no hard links, e.g., BeOS.
8520	+ modify a few includes to allow compile with BeOS, which has stdbool.h
8521	  with a conflicting definition for 'bool' versus its OS.h definition.
8522	+ amend MKlib_gen.sh to work with gawk, which defines 'func' as an
8523	  alias for 'function'.
8524
852520020420
8526	+ correct form of prototype for ripoffline().
8527	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to test that all functions marked as implemented
8528	  can be linked.
8529
853020020413
8531	+ add manpages: curs_get_wstr.3x, curs_in_wchstr.3x
8532	+ implement wgetn_wstr().
8533	+ implement win_wchnstr().
8534	+ remove redefinition of unget_wch() in lib_gen.c (reported by
8535	  Jungshik Shin <jshin@jtan.com>).
8536
853720020406
8538	+ modified several of the test programs to allow them to compile with
8539	  vendor curses implementations, e.g., Solaris, AIX -TD
8540
854120020323
8542	+ modified test/configure to allow configuring against ncursesw.
8543	+ change WACS_xxx definition to use address, to work like Tru64 curses.
8544
854520020317
8546	+ add 'e' and 'm' toggles to 'a', 'A' tests in ncurses.c to demonstrate
8547	  effect of echo/noecho and meta modes.
8548	+ add 'A' test to ncurses.c to demonstrate wget_wch() and related
8549	  functions.
8550	+ add manpage: curs_get_wch.3x
8551	+ implement unget_wch().
8552	+ implement wget_wch().
8553
855420020310
8555	+ regenerated html manpages.
8556	+ add manpages: curs_in_wch.3x, curs_ins_wch.3x, curs_ins_wstr.3x
8557	+ implement wins_wch().
8558	+ implement win_wch().
8559	+ implement wins_nwstr(), wins_wstr().
8560
856120020309
8562	+ add manpages: curs_addwstr.3x, curs_winwstr.3x
8563	+ implement winnwstr(), winwstr().
8564
856520020223
8566	+ add manpages: curs_add_wchstr.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x
8567	+ document wunctrl, key_name.
8568	+ implement key_name().
8569	+ remove const's in lib_box.c incorrectly leftover after splitting off
8570	  lib_box_set.c
8571	+ update llib-lncurses, llib-ncursesw, fix configure script related to
8572	  these.
8573
857420020218
8575	+ remove quotes on "SYNOPSIS" in man/curs_box_set.3x, which resulted
8576	  in spurious symlinks on install.
8577
857820020216
8579	+ implement whline_set(), wvline_set(), add manpage curs_border_set.
8580	+ add subtest 'b' to 'F' and 'f' in ncurses.c to demonstrate use of
8581	  box() and box_set() functions.
8582	+ add subtest 'u' to 'F' in ncurses.c, to demonstrate use of addstr()
8583	  given UTF-8 string equivalents of WACS_xxx symbols.
8584	+ minor fixes to several manpages based on groff -ww output.
8585	+ add descriptions of external variables of termcap interface to
8586	  the manpage (report by Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au>).
8587	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
8588	+ correct configure option --with-bool, which was executed as
8589	  --with-ospeed.
8590	+ add quotes for parameters of --with-bool and --with-ospeed configure
8591	  options.
8592	> patch by Sven Verdoolaege (report by Gerhard Haering
8593	  <haering_linux@gmx.de>):
8594	+ correct typos in definitions of several wide-character macros:
8595	  waddwstr, wgetbkgrnd, mvaddwstr, mvwadd_wchnstr, mvwadd_wchnstr,
8596	  mvwaddwstr.
8597	+ pass $(CPPFLAGS) to MKlib_gen.sh, thereby fixing a missing definition
8598	  of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, e.g., on Solaris
8599
860020020209
8601	+ implement wide-acs characters for UTF-8 locales.  When in UTF-8
8602	  locale, ignore narrow version of acs.  Add 'F' test to test/ncurses.c
8603	  to demonstrate.
8604	+ correct prototype in keybound manpage (noted from a Debian mailing
8605	  list item).
8606
860720020202
8608	+ add several cases to the wscanw() example in testcurs.c, showing the
8609	  format.
8610	+ implement a simple vsscanf() fallback function which uses the %n
8611	  conversion to help parse the input data (prompted by discussion with
8612	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
8613	+ modify mk-1st.awk and test/Makefile.in to add $(LDFLAGS) when making
8614	  shared libraries, and to use $(CFLAGS) when linking test programs
8615	  (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
8616	+ add a call to _nc_keypad() in keypad() to accommodate applications
8617	  such as nvi, which use curses for output but not for input (fixes
8618	  Debian #131263, cf: 20011215).
8619	+ add entrypoints to resizeterm.c which provide better control over the
8620	  process:  is_term_resized() and resize_term().  The latter restores
8621	  the original design of resizeterm() before KEY_RESIZE was added in
8622	  970906.  Do this to accommodate 20010922 changes to view.c, but allow
8623	  for programs with their own sigwinch handler, such as lynx (reported
8624	  by Russell Ruby <russ@math.orst.edu>).
8625
862620020127
8627	+ fix a typo in change to mk-1st.awk, which broke the shared-library
8628	  makefile rules (reported by Martin Mokrejs).
8629
863020020126
8631	+ update config.guess, config.sub
8632	+ finish changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
8633	+ fix a typo in mvwchat() macro (reported by Cy <yam@homerow.net).
8634
863520020119
8636	+ add case in lib_baudrate.c for B921600 (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
8637	+ correct missing sed-editing stage in manpage installs which is used
8638	  to rename manpages, broken in 20010324 fix for Debian #89939 (Debian
8639	  #78866).
8640	+ remove -L$(libdir) from linker flags, probably not needed any more
8641	  since HPUX is handled properly (reported by Niibe Yutaka
8642	  <gniibe@m17n.org>).
8643	+ add configure check for mbstate_t, needed for wide-character
8644	  configuration.  On some platforms we must include <wchar.h> to
8645	  define this (reported by Daniel Jacobowitz).
8646	+ incorporate some of the changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
8647
864820020112a
8649	+ workaround for awk did not work with mawk, adjusted shell script.
8650
865120020112
8652	+ add Caps.osf1r5, as an example.
8653	+ modify behavior of can_clear_with() so that if an application is
8654	  running in a non-bce terminals with default colors enabled, it
8655	  returns true, allowing the user to select/paste text without picking
8656	  up extraneous trailing blanks (adapted from patch by Daniel
8657	  Jacobowitz <dmj+@andrew.cmu.edu>).
8658	+ modify generated curses.h to ifdef-out prototypes for extensions if
8659	  they are disabled, and to define curses_version() as a string in that
8660	  case.  This is needed to make the programs such as tic build in that
8661	  configuration.
8662	+ modified generated headers.sh to remove a gzip'd version of the
8663	  target file if it exists, in case non-gzip'd manpages are installed
8664	  into a directory where gzip'd ones exist.  In that case, the latter
8665	  would be found.
8666	+ corrected a redundant initialization of signal handlers from 20010922
8667	  changes.
8668	+ clarified bug-reporting address in terminfo.src (report by John H
8669	  DuBois III <spcecdt@armory.com>).
8670	> several fixes from Robert Joop:
8671	+ do not use "-v" option of awk in MKkey_defs.sh because it does not
8672	  work with SunOS nawk.
8673	+ modify definitions for libutf8 in curses.h to avoid redefinition
8674	  warnings for mblen
8675	+ quoted references to compiler in shell command in misc/Makefile, in
8676	  case it uses multiple tokens.
8677
867820011229
8679	+ restore special case from 20010922 changes to omit SA_RESTART when
8680	  setting up SIGWINCH handler, which is needed to allow wgetch() to be
8681	  interrupted by that signal.
8682	+ updated configure macro CF_WITH_PATHLIST, to omit some double quotes
8683	  not needed with autoconf 2.52
8684	+ revert configure script to autoconf 2.13 patched with
8685		autoconf-2.13-19990117.patch.gz (or later)
8686	  from
8687		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
8688	  because autoconf 2.52 macro AC_PROG_AWK does not work on HPUX 11.0
8689	  (report by David Ellement <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).  This also fixes a
8690	  different problem configuring with Mac OS X (reported by Marc Smith
8691	  <marc.a.smith@home.com>).
8692
869320011222
8694	+ modify include/edit_cfg.h to eliminate BROKEN_LINKER symbol from
8695	  term.h
8696	+ move prototype for _nc_vsscanf() into curses.h.in to omit
8697	  HAVE_VSSCANF symbol from curses.h, which was dependent upon the
8698	  ncurses_cfg.h file which is not installed.
8699	+ use ACS_LEN rather than SIZEOF(acs_map) in trace code of lib_acs.c,
8700	  to work with broken linker configuration, e.g., cygwin (report by
8701	  Robert Joop <rj@rainbow.in-berlin.de>).
8702	+ make napms() call _nc_timed_wait() rather than poll() or select(),
8703	  to work around broken implementations of these on cygwin.
8704
870520011218
8706	+ drop configure macro CF_WIDEC_SHIFT, since that was rendered obsolete
8707	  by Sven Verdoolaege's rewrite of wide-character support.  This makes
8708	  libncursesw incompatible again, but makes the header files almost the
8709	  same as in the narrow-character configuration.
8710	+ simplify definitions that combine wide/narrow versions of bkgd, etc.,
8711	  to eliminate differences between the wide/narrow versions of curses.h
8712	+ correct typo in configure macro CF_FUNC_VSSCANF
8713	+ correct location of call to _nc_keypad() from 20011215 changes which
8714	  prevented keypad() from being disabled (reported by Lars Hecking).
8715
871620011215
8717	+ rewrote ncurses 'a' test to exercise wgetch() and keypad() functions
8718	  better, e.g., by adding a 'w' command to create new windows which
8719	  may have different keypad() settings.
8720	+ corrected logic of keypad() by adding internal screen state to track
8721	  whether the terminal's keypad-mode has been set.  Use this in
8722	  wgetch() to update the keypad-mode according to whether the
8723	  associated window's keypad-mode has been set with keypad().  This
8724	  corrects a related problem restoring terminal state after handling
8725	  SIGTSTP (reported by Mike Castle).
8726	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52
8727		autoconf-2.52-patch.gz
8728	  at
8729		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
8730	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
8731		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
8732	+ minor changes to quoting in configure script to allow it to work
8733	  with autoconf 2.52
8734
873520011208
8736	+ modify final checks in lib_setup.c for line and col values, making
8737	  them independent.
8738	+ modify acs_map[] if configure --broken-linker is specified, to make
8739	  it use a function rather than an array (prompted by an incorrect
8740	  implementation in cygwin package).
8741	+ correct spelling of configure option --enable-colorfgbg, which
8742	  happened to work if --with-develop was set (noted in cygwin package
8743	  for ncurses).
8744	+ modify ifdef for genericerror() to compile with SUNWspro Sun WorkShop
8745	  6 update 1 C++ 5.2 (patch by Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>).
8746	+ add configure checks to see if ncurses' fallback vsscanf() will
8747	  compile either of the special cases for FILE structs, and if not,
8748	  force it to the case which simply returns an error (report by
8749	  Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu> indicates that Solaris 8 with
8750	  64-bits does not allow access to FILE's fields).
8751	+ modify ifdef's for c++/cursesw.cc to use the fallback vsscanf() in
8752	  the ncurses library if no better substitute for this can be found
8753	  in the C++ runtime.
8754	+ modify the build to name dynamic libraries according to the
8755	  convention used on OS X and Darwin.  Rather than something like
8756	  libncurses.dylib.5.2, Darwin would name it libncurses.  5.dylib.
8757	  There are a few additional minor fixes, such as setting the library
8758	  version and compatibility version numbers (patch by Jason Evans
8759	  <jevans@apple.com>).
8760	+ use 'sh' to run mkinstalldirs, to work around problems with buggy
8761	  versions of 'make' on OS/2 (report by John Polterak <jp@eyup.org>).
8762	+ correct typo in manpage description of curs_set() (Debian #121548).
8763	+ replace the configure script existence-check for mkstemp() by one
8764	  that checks if the function works, needed for older glibc and
8765	  AmigaOS.
8766
876720011201
8768	+ modify script that generates fallbacks.c to compile a temporary
8769	  copy of the terminfo source in case the host does not contain all of
8770	  the entries requested for fallbacks (request by Greg Roelofs).
8771	+ modify configure script to accommodate systems such as Mac OS X whose
8772	  <stdbool.h> header defines a 'bool' type inconsistent with ncurses,
8773	  which normally makes 'bool' consistent with C++.  Include <stdbool.h>
8774	  from curses.h to force consistent usage, define a new type
8775	  NCURSES_BOOL and related that to the exported 'bool' as either a
8776	  typedef or definition, according to whether <stdbool.h> is present
8777	  (based on a bug report for tin 1.5.9 by Aaron Adams <adamsa@mac.com>).
8778
877920011124
8780	+ added/updated terminfo entries for M$ telnet and KDE konsole -TD
8781
878220011117
8783	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
8784	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
8785	+ add putty terminfo entry -TD
8786	+ if configuring for wide-curses, define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, since
8787	  this may not otherwise be defined to make test/view.c compile.
8788
878920011110
8790	+ review/correct several missing/generated items in curses.wide, sorted
8791	  the lists to make subsequent diff's easier to track.
8792
879320011103
8794	+ add manual pages for add_wch(), echo_wchar(), getcchar(),
8795	  mvadd_wch(), mvwadd_wch(), setcchar(), wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar().
8796	+ implement wecho_wchar()
8797	+ modify _tracedump() to handle wide-characters by mapping them to '?'
8798	  and control-characters to '.', to make the trace file readable.  Also
8799	  dynamically allocate the buffer used by _tracedump() for formatting
8800	  the results.
8801	+ modify T_CALLED/T_RETURN macros to ease balancing call/return lines
8802	  in a trace by using curly braces.
8803	+ implement _nc_viscbuf(), for tracing cchar_t arrays.
8804	+ correct trace-calls in setcchar() and getcchar() functions, which
8805	  traced the return values but not the entry to each function.
8806	+ correct usage message in test/view.c, which still mentioned -u flag.
8807
880820011027
8809	+ modify configure script to allow building with termcap only, or with
8810	  fallbacks only.  In this case, we do not build tic and toe.
8811	+ add configure --with-termpath option, to override default TERMPATH
8812	  value of /etc/termcap:/usr/share/misc/termcap.
8813	+ cosmetic change to tack: make menu descriptions agree with menu
8814	  titles.
8815
881620011020
8817	+ rewrote limit-checks in wscrl() and associated _nc_scroll_window(),
8818	  to ensure that if the parameter of wscrl() is larger than the size of
8819	  the scrolling region, then the scrolling region will be cleared
8820	  (report by Ben Kohlen <bckohlen@yahoo.com>).
8821	+ add trace/varargs.c, using this to trace parameters in lib_printw.c
8822	+ implement _tracecchar_t2() and _tracecchar_t().
8823	+ split-out trace/visbuf.c
8824	+ correct typo in lib_printw.c changes from 20010922 (report by Mike
8825	  Castle).
8826
882720011013
8828	+ modify run_tic.sh to check if the build is a cross-compile.  In that
8829	  case, do not use the build's tic to install the terminfo database
8830	  (report by Rafael Rodriguez Velilla <rrv@tid.es>).
8831	+ modify mouse click resolution so that mouseinterval(-1) will disable
8832	  it, e.g., to handle touchscreens via a slow connection (request by
8833	  Byron Stanoszek <gandalf@winds.org>).
8834	+ correct mouseinterval() default value shown in curs_mouse.3x
8835	+ remove conflicting definition of mouse_trafo() (reported by Lars
8836	  Hecking, using gcc 2.95.3).
8837
883820011001
8839	+ simpler fix for signal_name(), to replace the one overlooked in
8840	  20010929 (reported by Larry Virden).
8841
884220010929
8843	+ add -i option to view.c, to test ncurses' check for non-default
8844	  signal handler for SIGINT, etc.
8845	+ add cases for shared-libraries on Darwin/OS X (patch by Rob Braun
8846	  <bbraun@synack.net>).
8847	+ modify tset to restore original I/O modes if an error is encountered.
8848	  Also modify to use buffered stderr consistently rather than mixing
8849	  with write().
8850	+ change signal_name() function to use if-then-else rather than case
8851	  statement, since signal-values aren't really integers (reported by
8852	  Larry Virden).
8853	+ add limit checks in wredrawln(), fixing a problem where lynx was
8854	  repainting a pad which was much larger than the screen.
8855
885620010922
8857	+ fix:  PutRange() was counting the second part of a wide character as
8858	  part of a run, resulting in a cursor position that was one too far
8859	  (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
8860	+ modify resizeterm() to not queue a KEY_RESIZE if there was no
8861	  SIGWINCH, thereby separating the two styles of SIGWINCH handling
8862	  in test/view.c
8863	+ simplified lib_tstp.c, modify it to use SA_RESTART flag for SIGWINCH.
8864	+ eliminate several static buffers in the terminfo compiler, using
8865	  allocated buffers.
8866	+ modify MKkeyname.awk so that keyname() does not store its result into
8867	  a static buffer that is overwritten by the next call.
8868	+ reorganize the output of infocmp -E and -e options to compile cleanly
8869	  with gcc -Wwrite-strings warnings.
8870	+ remove redefinition of chgat/wchgat/mvwchgat from curses.wide
8871
887220010915
8873	+ add label to test/view.c, showing the name of the last key or signal
8874	  that made the screen repaint, to make it clearer when a sigwinch
8875	  does this.
8876	+ use ExitProgram() consistently in the test-programs to make it
8877	  simpler to test leaks with dmalloc, etc.
8878	+ move hashtab static data out of hashmap.c into SCREEN struct.
8879	+ make NO_LEAK code compile with revised WINDOWLIST structs.
8880
888120010908
8882	+ modify tgetent() to check if exit_attribute_mode resets the alternate
8883	  character set, and if so, attempt to adjust the copy of the termcap
8884	  "me" string which it will return to eliminate that part.  In
8885	  particular, 'screen' would lose track of line-drawing characters
8886	  (report by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>, analysis by
8887	  Michael Schroeder).
8888
888920010901
8890	+ specify DOCTYPE in html manpages.
8891	+ add missing macros for several "generated" functions:  attr_get(),
8892	  attr_off(), attr_on(), attr_set(), chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat() and
8893	  mouse_trafo().
8894	+ modify view.c to agree with non-experimental status of ncurses'
8895	  sigwinch handler:
8896	  + change the sense of the -r option, making it default to ncurses'
8897	    sigwinch handler.
8898	  + add a note explaining what functions are unsafe in a signal
8899	    handler.
8900	  + add a -c option, to set color display, for testing.
8901	+ unset $data variable in MKterminfo.sh script, to address potential
8902	  infinite loop if shell malfunction (report by Samuel Mikes
8903	  <smikes@cubane.com>, for bash 2.05.0 on a Linux 2.0.36 system).
8904	+ change kbs in mach terminfo entries to ^?  (Marcus Brinkmann
8905	  <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>).
8906	+ correct logic for COLORFGBG environment variable: if rxvt is compiled
8907	  with xpm support, the variable has three fields, making it slightly
8908	  incompatible with itself.  In either case, the background color is
8909	  the last field.
8910
891120010825
8912	+ move calls to def_shell_mode() and def_prog_mode() before loop with
8913	  callbacks in lib_set_term.c, since the c++ demo otherwise initialized
8914	  the tty modes before saving them (patch by John David Anglin
8915	  <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>).
8916	+ duplicate logic used to initialize trace in newterm(), in initscr()
8917	  to avoid confusing trace of initscr().
8918	+ simplify allocation of WINDOW and WINDOWLIST structs by making the
8919	  first a part of the second rather than storing a pointer.  This saves
8920	  a call to malloc for each window (discussion with Philippe Blain).
8921	+ remove unused variable 'used_ncv' from lib_vidattr.c (Philippe
8922	  Blain).
8923	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to accommodate archive programs that are
8924	  different for C++ than for C, and add cases for vendor's C++
8925	  compilers on Solaris and IRIX (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
8926	+ correct manpage description of criteria for deciding if the terminal
8927	  supports xterm mouse controls.
8928	+ add several configure script options to aid with cross-compiling:
8929	  --with-build-cc, --with-build-cflags, --with-build-ldflags, and
8930	  --with-build-libs (request by Greg Roelofs).
8931	+ change criteria for deciding if configure is cross-compiling from
8932	  host/build mismatch to host/target mismatch (request by Greg Roelofs
8933	  <greg.roelofs@philips.com>).
8934	+ correct logic for infocmp -e and -E options which writes the data for
8935	  the ext_Names[] array.  This is needed if one constructs a fallback
8936	  table for a terminfo entry which uses extended termcap names, e.g.,
8937	  AX in a color xterm.
8938	+ fix undefined NCURSES_PATHSEP when configure --disable-database
8939	  option is given.
8940
894120010811
8942	+ fix for VALID_BOOLEAN() macro when char is not signed.
8943	+ modify 'clean' rule for C++ binding to work with Sun compiler, which
8944	  caches additional information in a subdirectory of the objects.
8945	+ added llib-ncursesw.
8946
894720010804
8948	+ add Caps.keys example for experimental extended function keys
8949	  (adapted from a patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
8950	+ correct parameter types of vidputs() and vidattr() to agree with
8951	  header files (report by William P Setzer).
8952	+ fix typos in several man-pages (patch by William P Setzer).
8953	+ remove unneeded ifdef for __GNUG__ in CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC configure
8954	  macro, which made ncurses C++ binding fail to build with other
8955	  C++ compilers such as HPUX 11.x (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
8956	+ workaround for bug in HPUX 11.x C compiler: add a blank after
8957	  NCURSES_EXPORT macro in form.h (report by Albert Chin-A-Young)
8958	+ ignore blank lines in Caps* files in MKkey_defs.sh script (report by
8959	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
8960	+ correct definition of key_end in Caps.aix4, which left KEY_END
8961	  undefined (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
8962	+ remove a QNX-specific fallback prototype for vsscanf(), which is
8963	  obsolete with QNX RTP.
8964	+ review/fix some of the T() and TR() macro calls, having noticed that
8965	  there was no data for delwin() in a trace of dialog because there was
8966	  no returnVoid call for wtimeout().  Also, traces in lib_twait.c are
8967	  now selected under TRACE_IEVENT rather than TRACE_CALLS.
8968
896920010728
8970	+ add a _nc_access() check before opening files listed via $TERMPATH.
8971	+ using modified man2html, regenerate some of the html manpages to fix
8972	  broken HREF's where the link was hyphenated.
8973
897420010721
8975	+ add some limit/pointer checks to -S option of tputs.
8976	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
8977	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
8978	+ add a note in curs_termcap.3x regarding a defect in the XSI
8979	  description of tgetent (based on a discussion with Urs Jansen
8980	  regarding the HPUX 11.x implementation, whose termcap interface is
8981	  not compatible with existing termcap programs).
8982	+ modify manhtml rule in dist.mk to preserve copyright notice on the
8983	  generated files, as well as to address HTML style issues reported by
8984	  tidy and weblint.  Regenerated/updated corresponding html files.
8985	+ comment out use of Protected_Character and related rarely used
8986	  attributes in ncurses Ada95 test/demo to compile with wide-character
8987	  configuration.
8988
898920010714
8990	+ implement a simple example in C++ demo to test scanw().
8991	+ corrected stdio function used to implement scanw() in cursesw.cc
8992	+ correct definition of RemAttr() macro from 20010602 changes, which
8993	  caused C++ SillyDemo to not show line-drawing characters.
8994	+ modify C++ binding, adding getKey() which can be overridden by user
8995	  to substitute functions other than getch() for keyboard processing
8996	  of forms and menus (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
8997
899820010707
8999	+ fix some of the trace calls which needed modification to work with
9000	  new wide-character structures.
9001	+ modify magic-cookie code in tty_update.c to compile with new
9002	  wide-character structures (report by <George.R.Goffe@seagate.com>).
9003	+ ensure that _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined in curses.priv.h if
9004	  compiling for wide-character configuration.
9005	+ make addwnstr() handle non-spacing characters (patch by Sven
9006	  Verdoolaege).
9007
900820010630
9009	+ add configure check to define _GNU_SOURCE, needed to prop up glibc
9010	  header files.
9011	+ split-out include/curses.wide to solve spurious redefinitions caused
9012	  by defining _GNU_SOURCE, and move includes for <signal.h> before
9013	  <curses.h> to work around misdefinition of ERR in glibc 2.1.3 header
9014	  file.
9015	+ extended ospeed change to NetBSD and OpenBSD -TD
9016	+ modify logic in lib_baudrate.c for ospeed, for FreeBSD to make it
9017	  work properly for termcap applications (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
9018
901920010623
9020	+ correct an overlooked CharOf/UChar instance (reports by Eugene Lee
9021	  <eugene@anime.net>, Sven Verdoolaege).
9022	+ correct unneeded ifdef for wunctrl() (reported by Sven Verdoolaege)
9023
902420010618
9025	+ change overlooked several CharOf/UChar instances.
9026	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
9027	+ correct a typo in wunctrl(), which made it appear that botwc() was
9028	  needed (no such function: use btowc()).
9029	+ reimplement wide-character demo in test/view.c, using new functions.
9030	+ implement getcchar(), setcchar(), wadd_wchnstr() and related macros.
9031	+ fix a syntax problem with do/if/while in PUTC macro (curses.priv.h).
9032
903320010616
9034	+ add parentheses in macros for malloc in test.priv.h, fixes an
9035	  expression in view.c (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.co.at>).
9036	+ add Caps.uwin, as an example.
9037	+ change the way curses.h is generated, making the list of function
9038	  key definitions extracted from the Caps file.
9039	+ add #undef's before possible redefinition of ERR and OK in curses.h
9040	+ modify logic in tic, toe, tput and tset which checks for basename of
9041	  argv[0] to work properly on systems such as OS/2 which have
9042	  case-independent filenames and/or program suffixes, e.g., ".ext".
9043
904420010609
9045	+ add a configure check, if --enable-widec is specified, for putwc(),
9046	  which may be in libutf8.
9047	+ remove some unnecessary text from curs_extend.3x and
9048	  default_colors.3x which caused man-db to make incorrect symbolic
9049	  links (Debian #99550).
9050	+ add configure check if cast for _IO_va_list is needed to compile
9051	  C++ vscan code (Debian #97945).
9052	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
9053	+ correct code that used non-standard auto-initialization of a struct,
9054	  which gcc allows (report by Larry Virden).
9055	+ use putwc() in PUTC() macro.
9056	+ make addstr() work for the special case where the codeset is
9057	  non-stateful (eg. UTF-8), as well as stateful codesets.
9058
905920010603
9060	+ correct loop expression in NEXT_CHAR macro for lib_addstr.c changes
9061	  from 20010602 (report by Mike Castle).
9062
906320010602
9064	+ modify mvcur() to avoid emitting newline characters when nonl() mode
9065	  is set.  Normally this is not a problem since the actual terminal
9066	  mode is set to suppress nl/crlf translations, however it is useful to
9067	  allow the caller to manipulate the terminal mode to avoid staircasing
9068	  effects after spawning a process which writes messages (for lynx
9069	  2.8.4) -TD
9070	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org>:
9071	+ remove redundant type-conversion in fifo_push()
9072	+ correct definition of addwstr() macro in curses.h.in
9073	+ remove _nc_utf8_outch()
9074	+ rename most existing uses of CharOf() to UChar(), e.g., where it is
9075	  used to prevent sign-extension in ctype macros.
9076	+ change some chtype's to attr_t's where the corresponding variables
9077	  are used to manipulate attributes.
9078	+ UpdateAttr() was applied to both attributes (attr_t) and characters
9079	  (chtype).  Modify macro and calls to it to make these distinct.
9080	+ add CharEq() macro, use in places where wide-character configuration
9081	  implementation uses a struct for cchar_t.
9082	+ moved struct ldat into curses.priv.h, to hide implementation details.
9083	+ change CharOf() macro to use it for masking A_CHARTEXT data from
9084	  chtype's.
9085	+ add L() macro to curses.priv.h, for long-character literals.
9086	+ replace several assignments from struct ldat entries to chtype or
9087	  char values with combinations of CharOf() and AttrOf() macros.
9088	+ add/use intermediate ChAttrOf() and ChCharOf() macros where we know
9089	  we are using chtype data.
9090	+ add/use lowlevel attribute manipulation macros AddAttr(), RemAttr()
9091	  and SetAttr().
9092	+ add/use SetChar() macro, to change a cchar_t based on a character and
9093	  attributes.
9094	+ convert most internal use of chtype to NCURSES_CH_T, to simplify use
9095	  of cchar_t for wide-character configuration.  Similarly, use ARG_CH_T
9096	  where a pointer would be more useful.
9097	+ add stubs for tracing cchar_t values.
9098	+ add/use macro ISBLANK()
9099	+ add/use constructors for cchar_t's: NewChar(), NewChar2().
9100	+ add/use macros CHREF(), CHDEREF(), AttrOfD(), CharOfD() to facilitate
9101	  passing cchar_t's by address.
9102	+ add/use PUTC_DATA, PUTC() macros.
9103	+ for wide-character configuration, move the window background data to
9104	  the end of the WINDOW struct so that whether _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
9105	  is defined or not, the offsets in the struct will not change.
9106	+ modify addch() to work with wide-characters.
9107	+ mark several wide-character functions as generated in curses.h.in
9108	+ implement wunctrl(), wadd_wch(), wbkgrndset(), wbkgrnd(),
9109	  wborder_set() and waddnwstr().
9110
911120010526
9112	+ add experimental --with-caps=XXX option to customize to similar
9113	  terminfo database formats such as AIX 4.x
9114	+ add Caps.aix4 as an example.
9115	+ modify Caps to add columns for the the KEY_xxx symbols.
9116	+ modify configure --with-widec to suppress overwrite of libcurses.so
9117	  and curses.h
9118	+ add checks to toe.c to avoid being confused by files and directories
9119	  where we would expect the reverse, e.g., source-files in the
9120	  top-level terminfo levels as is the case for AIX.
9121
912220010519
9123	+ add top-level 'depend' rule for the C sources, assuming that the
9124	  makedepend program is available.  As a side-effect, this makes
9125	  the generated sources, as in "make sources" (prompted by a report
9126	  by Mike Castle that "make -j" fails because the resulting parallel
9127	  processes race to generate ncurses/names.c).
9128	+ modify configure script so that --disable-overwrite option's action
9129	  to add a symbolic link for libcurses applies to the static library as
9130	  well as the shared library when both are configured (report by Felix
9131	  Natter <f.natter@ndh.net>).
9132	+ add ELKS terminfo entries (Federico Bianchi
9133	  <bianchi@www.arte.unipi.it>)
9134	+ add u6 (CSR) to Eterm (Michael Jennings).
9135
913620010512
9137	+ modify test/ncurses.c to work with xterm-256color, which has fewer
9138	  color pairs than colors*colors (report by David Ellement
9139	  <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).
9140
914120010505
9142	+ corrected screen.xterm-xfree86 entry.
9143	+ update comment in Caps regarding IBM (AIX) function-key definitions.
9144
914520010421
9146	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to link with libncurses++w.a when configured
9147	  for wide-characters (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
9148	+ add check in _nc_trace_buf() to refrain from freeing a null pointer.
9149	+ improve CF_PROG_INSTALL macro using CF_DIRNAME.
9150	+ update config.guess, config.sub from autoconf 2.49e (alpha).
9151
915220010414
9153	+ add secondary check in tic.c, similar_sgr() to see if the reason
9154	  for mismatch was that the individual capabilities used a time-delay
9155	  while sgr did not.  Used this to cleanup mismatches, e.g., in vt100,
9156	  and remove time-delay from Apple_Terminal entries.
9157	+ add Apple_Terminal terminfo entries (Benjamin C W Sittler
9158	  <bsittler@iname.com>).
9159	+ correct definitions of shifted editing keys for xterm-xfree86 -TD
9160	+ fix a bug in test/bs.c from 20010407 (patch by Erik Sigra).
9161	+ prevent relative_move() from doing an overwrite if it detects 8-bit
9162	  characters when configured for UTF-8 (reported by Sven Verdoolaege
9163	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
9164
916520010407
9166	+ add configure checks for strstream.h vscan function, and similar
9167	  stdio-based function which may be used in C++ binding for gcc 3.0
9168	  (reports by George Goffe, Lars Hecking, Mike Castle).
9169	+ rewrite parts of configure.in which used changequote().  That feature
9170	  is broken in the latest autoconf alphas (e.g., 2.49d).
9171	+ add a missing pathname for ncurses_dll.h, needed when building in
9172	  a directory outside the source tree (patch by Sven Verdoolaege
9173	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
9174	> fix 2 bugs in test/bs.c Erik Sigra <sigra@home.se>:
9175	+ no ships were ever placed in the last row or in the last column.
9176	  This made the game very easy to win, because you never had to waste
9177	  any shots there, but the computer did.
9178	+ the squares around a sunken ship that belonged to the player were not
9179	  displayed as already hit by the computer, like it does for the
9180	  player.
9181
918220010331
9183	+ add some examples of customizing screen's terminfo:
9184	  screen.xterm-xfree86, screen.xterm-r6, screen.teraterm -TD
9185	+ modify screen's terminfo entry to match the khome/kend in screen
9186	  3.09.08 (Debian #92215).
9187	+ correct a memory leak in forms library (report by Stefan Vogtner
9188	  <stefan@vogtner.de>) (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9189
919020010324
9191	+ change symbols used to guard against repeated includes to begin
9192	  consistently with "NCURSES_" rather than a leading underscore.  There
9193	  are other symbols defined in the header files which begin with a
9194	  leading underscore, but they are part of the legacy interface.
9195	+ reorder includes in c++ binding so that rcs identifiers can be
9196	  compiled-in.
9197	+ add .cc.ii rule to c++ makefile, to get preprocessor output for
9198	  debugging.
9199	+ correct configure script handling of @keyword@ substitutions when the
9200	  --with-manpage-renames option is given (cf: 20000715, fixes Debian
9201	  #89939).
9202	+ report stack underflow/overflow in tparm() when tic -cv option is
9203	  given.
9204	+ remove spurious "%|" operator from xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry,
9205	  (reported by Adam Costello <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, Debian #89222).
9206
920720010310
9208	+ cleanup of newdemo.c, fixing some ambiguous expressions noted by gcc
9209	  2.95.2, and correcting some conflicting color pair initializations.
9210	+ add missing copyright notice for cursesw.h
9211	+ review, make minor fixes for use of '::' for referring to C-language
9212	  interface from C++ binding.
9213	+ modify configure check for g++ library slightly to accommodate
9214	  nonstandard version number, e.g., <vendor>-2.7 (report by Ronald Ho
9215	  <rho@mipos2.intel.com>).
9216	+ add configure check for c++ <sstream> header, replace hardcoded
9217	  ifdef.
9218	+ workaround for pre-release of gcc 3.0 libstdc++, which has dropped
9219	  vscan from strstreambuf to follow standard, use wrapper for C vscanf
9220	  instead (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@excite.com> and Matt Taggart
9221	  <taggart@carmen.fc.hp.com>, fixes Debian .
9222
922320010303
9224	+ modify interface of _nc_get_token() to pass 'silent' parameter to it,
9225	  to make quieter loading of /etc/termcap (patch by Todd C Miller).
9226	+ correct a few typos in curs_slk.3x and curs_outopts.3x manpages
9227	  (patch by Todd C Miller).
9228
922920010224
9230	+ compiler-warning fixes (reported by Nelson Beebe).
9231
923220010210
9233	+ modify screen terminfo entry to use new 3.9.8 feature allowing xterm
9234	  mouse controls -TD
9235
923620010203
9237	+ broaden patterns used to match OS/2 EMX in configure script to cover
9238	  variant used in newer config.guess/config.sub
9239	+ remove changequote() calls from configure script, since this feature
9240	  is broken in the autoconf 2.49c alpha, maintainers decline to fix.
9241	+ remove macro callPutChar() from tty_update.c, since this is no longer
9242	  needed (reported by Philippe Blain).
9243	+ add a null-pointer check in tic.c to handle the case when the input
9244	  file is really empty.  Modify the next_char() function in comp_scan.c
9245	  to allow arbitrarily long lines, and incidentally supply a newline to
9246	  files that do not end in a newline.  These changes improve tic's
9247	  recovery from attempts to read binary files, e.g., its output from
9248	  the terminfo database (reported by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
9249
925020010127
9251	+ revert change to c++/demo.cc from 20001209, which changed definition
9252	  of main() apparently to accommodate cygwin linker, but broke the demo
9253	  program.
9254	+ workaround for broken egcs 2.91.66 which calls member functions
9255	  (i.e., lines() and colors() of NCursesWindow before calling its
9256	  constructor.  Add calls to initialize() in a few constructors which
9257	  did not do this already.
9258	+ use the GNAT preprocessor to make the necessary switch between TRACE
9259	  and NO_TRACE configurations (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9260	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
9261	+ modify kterm terminfo entry to use SCS sequence to support alternate
9262	  character set (it does not work with SI/SO).
9263	+ --with-ospeed=something didn't work.  configure.in checked for a
9264	  $enableval where it should check for $withval.  Also,
9265	  ncurses/llib-lncurses still had a hardcoded short.
9266
926720010114
9268	+ correction to my merge of Tom Riddle's patch that broke tic in some
9269	  conditions (reported by Enoch Wexler <enoch@wexler.co.il>) -TD
9270
927120010113
9272	+ modify view.c to test halfdelay().  Like other tests, this recognizes
9273	  the 's' and space commands for stopping/starting polled input, shows
9274	  a freerunning clock in the header.  If given a parameter to 's', that
9275	  makes view.c use halfdelay() with that parameter rather than
9276	  nodelay().
9277	+ fix to allow compile with the experimental configure option
9278	  --disable-hashmap.
9279	+ modify postprocess_termcap() to avoid overwriting key_backspace,
9280	  key_left, key_down when processing a non-base entry (report/patch by
9281	  Tom Riddle).
9282	+ modify _nc_wrap_entry(), adding option to reallocate the string
9283	  table, needed in _nc_merge_entry() when merging termcap entries.
9284	  (adapted from report/patch by Tom Riddle <ftr@oracom.com>).
9285	+ modify a few configure script macros to keep $CFLAGS used only for
9286	  compiler options, preprocessor options in $CPPFLAGS.
9287
928820001230
9289	+ correct marker positions in lrtest.c after receiving a sigwinch.
9290	+ fix ifdef's in ncurses.c to build against pre-5.2 for testing.
9291	+ fixes to tclock for resizing behavior, redundant computation (report
9292	  and patch by A M Kuchling <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>).
9293
929420001216
9295	+ improved scoansi terminfo entry -TD
9296	+ modify configure script and makefile in Ada95/src to compile a stub
9297	  for the trace functions when ncurses does not provide those.
9298
929920001209
9300	+ add ncurses_dll.h and related definitions to support generating DLL's
9301	  with cygwin (adapted from a patch by Charles Wilson
9302	  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>, changed NCURSES_EXPORT macro to make it
9303	  work with 'indent') -TD
9304
930520001202
9306	+ correct prototypes for some functions in curs_termcap.3x, matching
9307	  termcap.h, which matches X/Open.
9308	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
9309	+ a revised version of the Ada enhancements sent in by "H.
9310	  Nanosecond", aka Eugene V Melaragno <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>.  This
9311	  patch includes
9312	  - small fixes to the existing ncurses binding
9313	  - addition of some more low-level functions to the binding, including
9314	    termcap and terminfo functions
9315	  - An Ada implementation of the "ncurses" test application originally
9316	    written in C.
9317
931820001125
9319	+ modify logic in lib_setup.c to allow either lines or columns value
9320	  from terminfo to be used if the screen size cannot be determined
9321	  dynamically rather than requiring both (patch by Ehud Karni
9322	  <ehud@unix.simonwiesel.co.il>).
9323	+ add check in lib_tgoto.c's is_termcap() function to reject null or
9324	  empty strings (reported by Valentin Nechayev <netch@netch.kiev.ua> to
9325	  freebsd-bugs).
9326	+ add definition from configure script that denotes the path-separator,
9327	  which is normally a colon.  The path-separator is a semicolon on
9328	  OS/2 EMX and similar systems which may use a colon within pathnames.
9329	+ alter logic to set default for --disable-overwrite option to set it
9330	  to 'yes' if the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr/local, thereby
9331	  accommodating the most common cause of problems: gcc's nonstandard
9332	  search rules.  Other locations such as /usr/local/ncurses will
9333	  default to overwriting (report by Lars Hecking <lhecking@nmrc.ie>).
9334
933520001118
9336	+ modify default for --disable-overwrite configure option to disable
9337	  if the --prefix or $prefix value is not /usr.
9338	+ add cygwin to systems for which ncurses is installed by default into
9339	  /usr rather than /usr/local.
9340
934120001111
9342	+ minor optimization in comp_error.c and lib_termname.c, using
9343	  strncat() to replace strncpy() (patch by Solar Designer).
9344	+ add a use_terminfo_vars() check for $HOME/.termcap, and check for
9345	  geteuid() to use_terminfo_vars() (patch by Solar Designer
9346	  <solar@false.com>).
9347	+ improved cygwin terminfo entry, based on patch by
9348	  <ernie_boyd@yahoo.com>.
9349	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to allow for the possibility that linking
9350	  aliases on a filesystem that ignores case would not succeed because
9351	  the source and destination differ only by case, e.g., NCR260VT300WPP0
9352	  on cygwin (report by Neil Zanella).
9353	+ fix a typo in the curs_deleteln.3x man page (patch by Bernhard
9354	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
9355
935620001104
9357	+ add configure option --with-ospeed to assist packagers in transition
9358	  to 5.3 change to ospeed type.
9359	+ add/use CharOf() macro to suppress sign-extension of char type on
9360	  platforms where this is a problem in ctype macros, e.g., Solaris.
9361	+ change trace output to binary format.
9362	+ correct a missing quote adjustment in CF_PATH_SYNTAX autoconf
9363	  macro, for OS/2 EMX configuration.
9364	+ rearrange a few configure macros, moving preprocessor options to
9365	  $CPPFLAGS (a now-obsolete version of autoconf did not consistently
9366	  use $CPPFLAGS in both the compile and preprocessor checks).
9367	+ add a check in relative_move() to guard against buffer overflow in
9368	  the overwrite logic.
9369
937020001028
9371	+ add message to configure script showing g++ version.
9372	+ resync config.guess, config.sub
9373	+ modify lib_delwin.c, making it return ERR if the window did not exist
9374	  (suggested by Neil Zanella).
9375	+ add cases for FreeBSD 3.1 to tdlint and makellib scripts, used this
9376	  to test/review ncurses library.  (Would use lclint, but it doesn't
9377	  work).
9378	+ reorganized knight.c to avoid forward references.  Correct screen
9379	  updates when backtracking, especially to the first cell.  Add F/B/a
9380	  commands.
9381
938220001021 5.2 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
9383	+ update generated html files from manpages.
9384	+ modify dist.mk to use edit_man.sh to substitute autoconf'd variables
9385	  in html manpages.
9386	+ fix an uninitialized pointer in read_termcap.c (report by Todd C
9387	  Miller, from report/patch by Philip Guenther <guenther@gac.edu>).
9388	+ correct help-message and array limit in knight.c (patch by Brian
9389	  Raiter <breadbox@muppetlabs.com>).
9390	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
9391	+ fix to avoid warning by GNAT-3.13p about use of inconsistent casing
9392	  for some identifiers defined in the standard package.
9393	+ cosmetic change to forms/fty_enum.c
9394
939520001014
9396	+ correct an off-by-one position in test/railroad.c which could cause
9397	  wrapping at the right margin.
9398	+ test/repair some issues with libtool configuration.  Make
9399	  --disable-echo force libtool --silent.  (Libtool does not work for
9400	  OS/2 EMX, works partly for SCO - libtool is still very specific to
9401	  gcc).
9402	+ change default of --with-manpage-tbl to "no", since for most of the
9403	  platforms which do have tbl installed, the system "man" program
9404	  understands how to run tbl automatically.
9405	+ minor improvement to force_bar() in comp_parse.c (Bernhard
9406	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
9407	+ modify lib_tparm.c to use get_space() before writing terminating
9408	  null character, both for consistency as well as to ensure that if
9409	  save_char() was called immediately before, that the allocated memory
9410	  is enough (patch by Sergei Ivanov).
9411	+ add note about termcap ML capability which is duplicated between two
9412	  different capabilities:  smgl and smglr (reported by Sergei Ivanov
9413	  <svivanov@pdmi.ras.ru>).
9414	+ correct parameter counts in include/Caps for dclk as well as some
9415	  printer-specific capabilities: csnm, defc, scs, scsd, smgtp, smglp.
9416	> patch by Johnny C Lam <lamj@stat.cmu.edu>:
9417	+ add support for building with libtool (apparently version 1.3.5,
9418	  since old versions do not handle -L../lib), using new configure
9419	  option --with-libtool.
9420	+ add configure option --with-manpage-tbl, which causes the manpages to
9421	  be preprocessed by tbl(1) prior to installation,
9422	+ add configure option --without-curses-h, which causes the
9423	  installation process to install curses.h as ncurses.h and make
9424	  appropriate changes to headers and manpages.
9425
942620001009
9427	+ correct order of options/parameters in run_tic.in invocation of tic,
9428	  which did not work with standard getopt() (reported by Ethan
9429	  Butterfield <primus@veris.org>).
9430	+ correct logic for 'reverse' variable in lib_vidattr.c, which was
9431	  setting it true without checking if newmode had A_REVERSE set, e.g.,
9432	  using $TERM=ansi on OS/2 EMX (see 20000917).
9433	> patch by Todd C Miller:
9434	+ add a few missing use_terminfo_vars() and fixes up _nc_tgetent().
9435	  Previously, _nc_cgetset() would still get called on cp so the
9436	  simplest thing is to set cp to NULL if !use_terminfo_vars().
9437	+ added checks for an empty $HOME environment variable.
9438	> patches for OS/2 EMX (Ilya Zakharevich):
9439	+ modify convert_configure.pl to support INSTALL.  Change compiler
9440	  options in that script to use multithreading, needed for the mouse.
9441	+ modify OS/2 mouse support, retrying as a 2-button mouse if code fails
9442	  to set up a 3-button mouse.
9443	+ improve code for OS/2 mouse support, using _nc_timed_wait() to
9444	  replace select() call.
9445
944620001007
9447	+ change type of ospeed variable back to short to match its use in
9448	  legacy applications (reported by Andrey A Chernov).
9449	+ add case to configure script for --enable-rpath on IRIX (patch by
9450	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
9451	+ minor fix to position_check() function, to ensure it gets the whole
9452	  cursor report before decoding.
9453	+ add configure option --disable-assumed-color, to allow pre-5.1
9454	  convention of default colors used for color-pair 0 to be configured
9455	  (see assume_default_colors()).
9456	+ rename configure option --enable-hashmap --disable-hashmap, and
9457	  reorder the configure options, splitting the experimental and
9458	  development
9459	+ add configure option --disable-root-environ, which tells ncurses to
9460	  disregard $TERMINFO and similar environment variables if the current
9461	  user is root, or running setuid/setgid (based on discussion with
9462	  several people).
9463	+ modified misc/run_tic.in to use tic -o, to eliminate dependency on
9464	  $TERMINFO variable for installs.
9465	+ add table entry for plab_norm to tput, so it passes in strings
9466	  for that capability.
9467	+ modify parse_format() in lib_tparm.c to ignore precision if it is
9468	  longer than 10000 (report by Jouko Pynnonen).
9469	+ rewrote limit checks in lib_mvcur.c using new functions
9470	  _nc_safe_strcat(), etc.  Made other related changes to check lengths
9471	  used for strcat/strcpy (report by Jouko Pynnonen
9472	  <jouko@solutions.fi>).
9473
947420000930
9475	+ modify several descriptions, including those for setaf, setab, in
9476	  include/Caps to indicate that the entries are parameterized.  This
9477	  information is used to tell which strings are translated when
9478	  converting to termcap.  Fixes a problem where the generated termcap
9479	  would contain a spurious "%p1" for the terminfo "%p1%d".
9480	+ modify ld -rpath options (e.g., Linux, and Solaris) to use an
9481	  absolute pathname for the build tree's lib directory (prompted by
9482	  discussion with Albert Chin-A-Young).
9483	+ modify "make install.man" and "make uninstall.man" to include tack's
9484	  man-page.
9485	+ various fixes for install scripts used to support configure --srcdir
9486	  and --with-install-prefix (reported by Matthew Clarke
9487	  <Matthew_Clarke@mindlink.bc.ca>).
9488	+ make configure script checks on variables $GCC and $GXX consistently
9489	  compare against 'yes' rather than test if they are nonnull, since
9490	  either may be set to the corresponding name of the C or C++ compiler
9491	  (report/patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
9492
949320000923
9494	+ modify rs2 capability in xterm-r6 and similar where cursor
9495	  save/restore bracketed the sequence for resetting video attributes.
9496	  The cursor restore would undo that (report by John Hawkinson
9497	  <jhawk@MIT.EDU> (see NetBSD misc/11052)).
9498	+ using parameter check added to tic, corrected 27 typos in
9499	  terminfo.src -TD
9500	+ modify tic to verify that its inputs are really files, in case
9501	  someone tries to read a directory (or /dev/zero).
9502	+ add a check for empty buffers returned by fgets() in comp_scan.c
9503	  next_char() function, in case tic is run on a non-text file (fixes
9504	  a core dump reported by Aaron Campbell <aaron@cs.dal.ca>).
9505	+ add to railroad.c some code exercising tgoto(), providing an
9506	  alternate form of display if the terminal supports cursor addressing.
9507	+ split-out tgoto() again, this time into new file lib_tgoto.c, and
9508	  implement a conventional BSD-style tgoto() which is used if the
9509	  capability string does not contain terminfo-style padding or
9510	  parameters (requested by Andrey A Chernov).
9511	+ add check to tic which reports capabilities that do not reference
9512	  the expected number of parameters.
9513	+ add error checking to infocmp's -v and -m options to ensure that
9514	  the option value is indeed a number.
9515	+ some cleanup of logic in _nc_signal_handler() to verify if SIGWINCH
9516	  handler is setup.  Separated the old/new sigaction data for SIGTSTP
9517	  from the other signals.
9518
951920000917
9520	+ add S0, E0 extensions to screen's terminfo entry, which is another
9521	  way to solve the misconfiguration issue -TD
9522	+ completed special case for tgoto from 20000916
9523
952420000916
9525	+ update xterm terminfo entries to match XFree86 xterm patch #146 -TD
9526	+ add Matrix Orbital terminfo entries (from Eric Z Ayers
9527	  <eric@ale.org>).
9528	+ add special case to lib_tparm.c to allow 'screen' program to use a
9529	  termcap-style parameter "%." to tgoto() for switching character sets.
9530	+ use LN_S substitution in run_tic.in, to work on OS/2 EMX which has
9531	  no symbolic links.
9532	+ updated notes in README.emx regarding autoconf patches.
9533	+ replace a lookup table in lib_vidattr.c used to decode no_color_video
9534	  with a logic expression (suggested by Philippe Blain).
9535	+ add a/A toggle to ncurses.c 'b' test, which clears/sets alternate
9536	  character set attribute from the displayed text.
9537	+ correct inequality in parameter analysis of rewritten lib_tparm.c
9538	  which had the effect of ignoring p9 in set_attributes (sgr), breaking
9539	  alternate character set (reported by Piotr Majka <charvel@link.pl>).
9540	+ correct ifdef'ing for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF which would not compile
9541	  with Sun WorkShop compilers since these tokens were empty (cf:
9542	  20000902, reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
9543
954420000909
9545	+ correct an uninitialized parameter to open_tempfile() in tic.c which
9546	  made "tic -I" give an ambiguous error message about tmpnam.
9547	+ add special case in lib_vidattr.c to reset underline and standout for
9548	  devices that have no sgr0 defined (patch by Don Lewis
9549	  <Don.Lewis@tsc.tdk.com>).  Note that this will not work for bold
9550	  mode, since there is no exit-bold-mode capability.
9551	+ improved patch for Make_Enum_Type (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9552	+ modify tparm to disallow arithmetic on strings, analyze the varargs
9553	  list to read strings as strings and numbers as numbers.
9554	+ modify tparm's internal function spop() to treat a null pointer as
9555	  an empty string.
9556	+ modify tput program so it can be renamed or invoked via a link as
9557	  'reset' or 'init', producing the same effect as 'tput reset' or 'tput
9558	  init'.
9559	+ add private entrypoint _nc_basename(), use to consolidate related
9560	  code in progs, as well as accommodating OS/2 EMX pathnames.
9561	+ remove NCURSES_CONST line from edit_cfg.sh to compensate for its
9562	  removal (except via AC_SUBST) from configure.in, making
9563	  --enable-const work again (reported by Juergen Pfeifer).
9564	+ regen'd configure to pick up "hpux*" change from 20000902.
9565
956620000902
9567	+ modify tset.c to check for transformed "reset" program name, if any.
9568	+ add a check for null pointer in Make_Enum_Type() (reported by Steven
9569	  W Orr <steveo@world.std.com>).
9570	+ change functions _nc_parse_entry() and postprocess_termcap() to avoid
9571	  using strtok(), because it is non-reentrant (reported by Andrey A
9572	  Chernov <ache@nagual.pp.ru>).
9573	+ remove "hpux10.*" case from CF_SHARED_OPTS configure script macro.
9574	  This differed from the "hpux*" case by using reversed symbolic
9575	  links, which made the 5.1 version not match the configuration of
9576	  5.0 shared libraries (reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
9577	+ correct a dependency in Ada95/src/Makefile.in which prevented
9578	  building with configure --srcdir (patch by H Nanosecond
9579	  <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>).
9580	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in to avoid warning if GCC_PRINTF or
9581	  GCC_SCANF was not previously defined (reported by Pavel Roskin
9582	  <proski@gnu.org>).
9583	+ add MKncurses_def.sh to generate fallback definitions for
9584	  ncurses_cfg.h, to quiet gcc -Wundef warnings, modified ifdef's in
9585	  code to consistently use "#if" rather than "#ifdef".
9586
958720000826
9588	+ add QNX qansi entries to terminfo -TD
9589	+ add os2 entry to misc/emx.src (<jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
9590	+ add configure option --with-database to allow specifying a different
9591	  terminfo source-file to install.  On OS/2 EMX, this defaults to
9592	  misc/emx.src
9593	+ change misc/run_tic.sh to derive it from misc/run_tic.in, to simplify
9594	  setting .exe extension on OS/2 EMX.
9595	+ add .exe extension in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in,
9596	  Ada95/samples/Makefile.in, for OS/2 EMX (reported by
9597	  <jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
9598	+ add configure check for filesystems (such as OS/2 EMX) which do not
9599	  distinguish between upper/lowercase filenames, use this to fix tags
9600	  rules in makefiles.
9601	+ initialize fds[] array to 0's in _nc_timed_wait(); apparently poll()
9602	  only sets the revents members of that array when there is activity
9603	  corresponding to the related file (report by Glenn Cooper
9604	  <gcooper@qantas.com.au>, using Purify on Solaris 5.6).
9605	+ change configure script to use AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM rather than
9606	  AC_CANONICAL_HOST, which means that configure --target will set
9607	  a default program-prefix.
9608	+ add note on cross-compiling to INSTALL (which does not rely on the
9609	  AC_CANONICAL_* macros).
9610
961120000819
9612	+ add cases for EMX OS/2 to config.guess, config.sub
9613	+ new version of config.guess, config.sub from lynx 2.8.4dev.7
9614	+ add definitions via transform.h to allow tic and tput to check for
9615	  the transformed aliases rather than the original infotocap, etc.
9616	+ simplify transform-expressions in progs/Makefile.in, make the
9617	  uninstall rule work for transformed program names.
9618	+ change symbol used by --install-prefix configure option from
9619	  INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR (the latter has become common usage
9620	  although the name is misleading).
9621	+ modify programs to use curses_version() string to report the version
9622	  of ncurses with which they are compiled rather than the
9623	  NCURSES_VERSION string.  The function returns the patch level in
9624	  addition to the major and minor version numbers.
9625
962620000812
9627	+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to make transformed program names
9628	  a parameter to that macro rather than embedding them in the macro.
9629	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in lynx
9630	  2.8.4dev.7).
9631	+ add configure option --with-default-terminfo-dir=DIR to allow
9632	  specifying the default terminfo database directory (request by Albert
9633	  Chin-A-Young).
9634	+ minor updates for terminfo.src from FreeBSD termcap change-history.
9635	+ correct notes in README and INSTALL regarding documentation files
9636	  that were moved from misc directory to doc (report by Rich Kulawiec
9637	  <rsk@gsp.org>).
9638	+ change most remaining unquoted parameters of 'test' in configure
9639	  script to use quotes, for instance fixing a problem in the
9640	  --disable-database option (reported by Christian Mondrup
9641	  <scancm@biobase.dk>).
9642	+ minor adjustments to work around some of the incompatibilities/bugs
9643	  in autoconf 2.29a alpha.
9644	+ add -I/usr/local/include when --with-ncurses option is used in
9645	  test/configure script.
9646	+ correct logic in adjust_cancels(), which did not check both
9647	  alternatives when reclassifying an extended name between boolean,
9648	  number and string, causing an infinite loop in tic.
9649
965020000730
9651	+ correct a missing backslash in curses.priv.h
9652
965320000729
9654	+ change handling of non_dest_scroll_region in tty_update.c to clear
9655	  text after it is shifted in rather than before shifting out.  Also
9656	  correct row computation (reported by Ruediger Kuhlmann
9657	  <uck4@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>).
9658	+ add/use new trace function to display chtype values from winch() and
9659	  getbkgd().
9660	+ add trace mask TRACE_ATTRS, alter several existing _tracef calls that
9661	  trace attribute changes under TRACE_CALLS to use this.
9662	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh so that functions returning chtype will call
9663	  returnChar().
9664	+ add returnChar() trace, for functions returning chtype.
9665	+ change indent.pro to line up parenthesis.
9666
966720000722
9668	+ fix a heap problem with the c++ binding (report by
9669	  <alexander_liberson@ninewest.com>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9670	+ minor adjustment to ClrToEOL() to handle an out-of-bounds parameter.
9671	+ modify the check for big-core to force a couple of memory accesses,
9672	  which may work as needed for older/less-capable machines (if not,
9673	  there's still the explicit configure option).
9674	> fixes based on diff's for Amiga and BeOS found at
9675	  http://www.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~kuhlmann/cross/ncurses/
9676	+ alter definition of NCURSES_CONST to make it non-empty.
9677	+ add amiga-vnc terminfo entry.
9678	+ redefine 'TEXT' in menu.h for AMIGA, since it is reported to have
9679	  an (unspecified) symbol conflict.
9680	+ replaced case-statement in _nc_tracebits() for CSIZE with a table to
9681	  simplify working around implementations that define random
9682	  combinations of the related macros to zero.
9683	+ modify configure test for tcgetattr() to allow for old
9684	  implementations, e.g., on BeOS, which only defined it as a macro.
9685	> patches by Bruno Haible:
9686	+ when checking LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG environment variables for UTF-8
9687	  locale, ignore those which are set to an empty value, as per SUSV2.
9688	+ encode 0xFFFD in UTF-8 with 3 bytes, not 2.
9689	+ modify _nc_utf8_outch() to avoid sign-extension when checking for
9690	  out-of-range value.
9691
969220000715
9693	+ correct manlinks.sed script to avoid using ERE "\+", which is not
9694	  understood by older versions of sed (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
9695	+ implement configure script options that transform installed program
9696	  names, e.g., --program-prefix, including the manpage names and cross
9697	  references (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>).
9698	+ correct several mismatches between manpage filename and ".TH"
9699	  directives, renaming dft_fgbg.3x to default_colors.3x and
9700	  menu_attribs.3x to menu_attributes.3x (report by Todd C Miller).
9701	+ correct missing includes for <string.h> in several places, including
9702	  the C++ binding.  This is not noted by gcc unless we use the
9703	  -fno-builtin option (reported by Igor Schein <igor@txc.com>).
9704	+ modified progs/tset.c and tack/sysdep.c to build with sgttyb
9705	  interface if neither termio or termios is available.  Tested this
9706	  with FreeBSD 2.1.5 (which does have termios - but the sgttyb does
9707	  work).
9708
970920000708 5.1 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
9710	+ document configure options in INSTALL.
9711	+ add man-page for ncurses trace functions.
9712	+ correct return value shown in curs_touch.3x for is_linetouched() and
9713	  is_wintouched(), in curs_initscr.3x for isendwin(), and in
9714	  curs_termattr.3x for has_ic() and has_il().
9715	+ add prototypes for touchline() and touchwin(), adding them to the
9716	  list of generated functions.
9717	+ modify fifo_push() to put ERR into the fifo just like other values to
9718	  return from wgetch().  It was returning without doing that, making
9719	  end-of-file condition incorrectly return a 0 (reported by Todd C
9720	  Miller).
9721	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS for progs and tack (see 971115), since they
9722	  are needed for SCO OpenServer.
9723	+ move _nc_disable_period from free_ttype.c to comp_scan.c to appease
9724	  dynamic loaders on SCO and IRIX64.
9725	+ add "-a" option to test/ncurses.c to invoke assume_default_colors()
9726	  for testing.
9727	+ correct assignment in assume_default_colors() which tells ncurses
9728	  whether to use default colors, or the assumed ones (reported by Gary
9729	  Funck <gary@Intrepid.Com>).
9730	+ review/correct logic in mk-1st.awk for making symbolic links for
9731	  shared libraries, in particular for FreeBSD, etc.
9732	+ regenerate misc/*.def files for OS/2 EMX dll's.
9733	+ correct quoting of values for CC_SHARED_OPTS in aclocal.m4 for
9734	  cases openbsd2*, openbsd*, freebsd* and netbsd* (patch by Peter
9735	  Wemm) (err in 20000610).
9736	+ minor updates to release notes, as well as adding/updating URLs for
9737	  examples cited in announce.html
9738	> several fixes from Philippe Blain <philippe.blain2@freesbee.fr>:
9739	+ correct placement of ifdef for NCURSES_XNAMES in function
9740	  _nc_free_termtype(), fixes a memory leak.
9741	+ add a call to _nc_synchook() to the end of function whline() like
9742	  that in wvline() (difference was in 1.9.4).
9743	+ make ClearScreen() a little faster by moving two instances of
9744	  UpdateAttr() out of for-loops.
9745	+ simplify ClrBottom() by eliminating the tstLine data, using for-loops
9746	  (cf: 960428).
9747
974820000701 pre-release
9749	+ change minor version to 1, i.e., ncurses 5.1
9750	+ add experimental configure option --enable-colorfgbg to check for
9751	  $COLORFGBG variable as set by rxvt/aterm/Eterm.
9752	+ add Eterm terminfo entry (Michael Jennings <mej@valinux.com>).
9753	+ modify manlinks.sed to pick aliases from the SYNOPSIS section, and
9754	  several manpages so manlinks.sed can find aliases for creating
9755	  symbolic links.
9756	+ add explanation to run_tic.sh regarding extended terminal
9757	  capabilities.
9758	+ change message format for edit_cfg.sh, since some people interpret
9759	  it as a warning.
9760	+ correct unescaped '$' in sysv5uw7*|unix_sv* rule for CF_SHARED_OPTS
9761	  configure macro (report by Thanh Ma <Thanh.Ma@casi-rusco.com>).
9762	+ correct logic in lib_twait.c as used by lib_mouse.c for GPM mouse
9763	  support when poll() is used rather than select() (prompted by
9764	  discussion with David Allen <DAllen24@aol.com>).
9765
976620000624 pre-release
9767	+ modify TransformLine() to check for cells with different color pairs
9768	  that happen to render the same display colors.
9769	+ apply $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to cost-computation in mvcur().
9770	+ improve cost computation in PutRange() by accounting for the use
9771	  of parm_right_cursor in mvcur().
9772	+ correct cost computation in EmitRange(), which was not using the
9773	  normalized value for cursor_address.
9774	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in TIN 1.5.6).
9775
977620000617
9777	+ update config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in PCRE 3.2).
9778	+ resync changes to gnathtml against version 1.22, regenerated html
9779	  files under doc/html/ada using this (1.22.1.1).
9780	+ regenerated html files under doc/html/man after correcting top and
9781	  bottom margin options for man2html in dist.mk
9782	+ minor fixes to test programs ncurses 'i' and testcurs program to make
9783	  the subwindow's background color cover the subwindow.
9784	+ modify configure script so AC_MSG_ERROR is temporarily defined to a
9785	  warning in AC_PROG_CXX to make it recover from a missing C++ compiler
9786	  without requiring user to add --without-cxx option (adapted from
9787	  comment by Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> to autoconf mailing list).
9788	+ modify headers.sh to avoid creating temporary files in the build
9789	  directory when installing headers (reported by Sergei Pokrovsky
9790	  <pok@nbsp.nsk.su>)
9791
979220000610
9793	+ regenerated the html files under doc/html/ada/files and
9794	  doc/html/ada/funcs with a slightly-improved gnathtml.
9795	+ add kmous capability to linux terminfo entry to allow it to use
9796	  xterm-style events provided by gpm patch by Joerg Schoen.
9797	+ make the configure macro CF_SHARED_OPTS a little smarter by testing
9798	  if -fPIC is supported by gcc rather than -fpic.  The former option
9799	  allows larger symbol tables.
9800	+ update config.guess and config.sub (patches by
9801	  Kevin Buettner <kev@primenet.com> (for elf64_ia64),
9802	  Bernd Kuemmerlen <bkuemmer@mevis.de> (for MacOS X)).
9803	+ add warning for 'tic -cv' about use of '^?' in terminfo source, which
9804	  is an extension.
9805
980620000527
9807	+ modify echo() behavior of getch() to match Solaris curses for
9808	  carriage return and backspace (reported by Neil Zanella).
9809	+ change _nc_flush() to a function.
9810	+ modify delscreen() to check if the output stream has been closed, and
9811	  if so, free the buffer allocated for setbuf (this provides an
9812	  ncurses-specific way to avoid a memory leak when repeatedly calling
9813	  newterm reported by Chipp C <at_1@zdnetonebox.com>).
9814	+ correct typo in curs_getch.3x manpage regarding noecho (reported by
9815	  David Malone <dwmalone@maths.tcd.ie>).
9816	+ add a "make libs" rule.
9817	+ make the Ada95 interface build with configure --enable-widec.
9818	+ if the configure --enable-widec option is given, append 'w' to names
9819	  of the generated libraries (e.g., libncursesw.so) to avoid conflict
9820	  with existing ncurses libraries.
9821
982220000520
9823	+ modify view.c to make a rudimentary viewer of UTF-8 text if ncurses
9824	  is configured with the experimental wide-character support.
9825	+ add a simple UTF-8 output driver to the experimental wide-character
9826	  support.  If any of the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or
9827	  LANG contain the string "UTF-8", this driver will be used to
9828	  translate the output to UTF-8.  This works with XFree86 xterm.
9829	+ modify configure script to allow building shared libraries on BeOS
9830	  (from a patch by Valeriy E Ushakov).
9831	+ modify lib_addch.c to allow repeated update to the lower-right
9832	  corner, rather than displaying only the first character written until
9833	  the cursor is moved.  Recent versions of SVr4 curses can update the
9834	  lower-right corner, and behave this way (reported by Neil Zanella).
9835	+ add a limit-check in _nc_do_color(), to avoid using invalid color
9836	  pair value (report by Brendan O'Dea <bod@compusol.com.au>).
9837
983820000513
9839	+ the tack program knows how to use smcup and rmcup but the "show caps
9840	  that can be tested" feature did not reflect this knowledge.  Correct
9841	  the display in the menu tack/test/edit/c (patch by Daniel Weaver).
9842	+ xterm-16color does allow bold+colors, removed ncv#32 from that
9843	  terminfo entry.
9844
984520000506
9846	+ correct assignment to SP->_has_sgr_39_49 in lib_dft_fgbg.c, which
9847	  broke check for screen's AX capability (reported by Valeriy E Ushakov
9848	  <uwe@ptc.spbu.ru>).
9849	+ change man2html rule in dist.mk to workaround bug in some
9850	  man-programs that ignores locale when rendering hyphenation.
9851	+ change web- and ftp-site to dickey.his.com
9852
985320000429
9854	+ move _nc_curr_token from parse_entry.c to comp_scan.c, to work around
9855	  problem linking tack on MacOS X DP3.
9856	+ include <sys/time.h> in lib_napms.c to compile on MacOS X DP3
9857	  (reported by Gerben Wierda <wierda@holmes.nl>).
9858	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to check for ncv fixes when pair-0 is not
9859	  default colors.
9860	+ add -d option to ncurses.c, to turn on default-colors for testing.
9861	+ add a check to _nc_makenew() to ensure that newwin() and newpad()
9862	  calls do not silently fail by passing too-large limits.
9863	+ add symbol NCURSES_SIZE_T to use rather than explicit 'short' for
9864	  internal window and pad sizes.  Note that since this is visible in
9865	  the WINDOW struct, it would be an ABI change to make this an 'int'
9866	  (prompted by a question by Bastian Trompetter
9867	  <btrompetter@firemail.de>, who attempted to create a 96000-line pad).
9868
986920000422
9870	+ add mgterm terminfo entry from NetBSD, minor adjustments to sun-ss5,
9871	  aixterm entries -TD
9872	+ modify tack/ansi.c to make it more tolerant of bad ANSI replies.  An
9873	  example of an illegal ANSI resonse can be found using Microsoft's
9874	  Telnet client.  A correct display can be found using a VT-4xx
9875	  terminal or XFree86 xterm with:
9876		XTerm*VT100*decTerminalID:  450
9877	  (patch by Daniel Weaver).
9878	+ modify gdc.c to recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' '
9879	  for resume.  Add '-n' option to force gdc's standard input to
9880	  /dev/null, to both illustrate the use of newterm() for specifying
9881	  alternate inputs as well as for testing signal handling.
9882	+ minor fix for configure option --with-manpage-symlinks, for target
9883	  directories that contain a period ('.') (reported by Larry Virden).
9884
988520000415
9886	+ minor additions to beterm entry (feedback from Rico Tudor) -TD
9887	+ corrections/updates for some IBM terminfo entries -TD
9888	+ modify _nc_screen_wrap() so that when exiting curses mode with
9889	  non-default colors, the last line on the screen will be cleared to
9890	  the screen's default colors (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
9891	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' example to set nonl(), allowing control/M to be
9892	  read for demonstrating the REQ_NEW_LINE operation (prompted by a
9893	  question by Tony L Keith <tlkeith@keithconsulting.com>).
9894	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' example of field_info() to work on Solaris 2.7,
9895	  documented extension of ncurses which allows a zero pointer.
9896	+ modify fmt_complex() to avoid buffer overflow in case of excess
9897	  recursion, and to recognize "%e%?" as a synonym for else-if, which
9898	  means that it will not recur for that special case.
9899	+ add logic to support $TERMCAP variable in case the USE_GETCAP symbol
9900	  is defined (patch by Todd C Miller).
9901	+ modify one of the m4 files used to generate the Ada95 sources,
9902	  to avoid using the token "symbols" (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9903
990420000408
9905	+ add terminfo entries bsdos-pc-m, bsdos-pc-mono (Jeffrey C Honig)
9906	+ correct spelling error in terminfo entry name:  bq300-rv was given as
9907	  bg300-rv in esr's version.
9908	+ modify redrawwin() macro so its parameter is fully parenthesized
9909	  (fixes Debian #61088).
9910	+ correct formatting error in dump_entry() which set incorrect column
9911	  value when no newline trimming was needed at the end of an entry,
9912	  before appending "use=" clauses (cf: 960406).
9913
991420000401
9915	+ add configure option --with-manpage-symlinks
9916	+ change unctrl() to render C1 characters (128-159) as ~@, ~A, etc.
9917	+ change makefiles so trace() function is provided only if TRACE is
9918	  defined, e.g., in the debug library.  Modify related calls to
9919	  _tracechar() to use unctrl() instead.
9920
992120000325
9922	+ add screen's AX capability (for ECMA SGR 39 and 49) to applicable
9923	  terminfo entries, use presence of this as a check for a small
9924	  improvement in setting default colors.
9925	+ improve logic in _nc_do_color() implementing assume_default_colors()
9926	  by passing in previous color pair info to eliminate redundant call to
9927	  set_original_colors().  (Part of this is from a patch by Alexander
9928	  V Lukyanov).
9929	+ modify warning in _nc_trans_string() about a possibly too-long string
9930	  to do this once only rather than for each character past the
9931	  threshold (600).  Change interface of _nc_trans_string() to allow
9932	  check for buffer overflow.
9933	+ correct use of memset in _nc_read_entry_source() to initialize ENTRY
9934	  struct each time before reading new data into it, rather than once
9935	  per loop (cf:  990301).  This affects multi-entry in-core operations
9936	  such as "infocmp -Fa".
9937
993820000319
9939	+ remove a spurious pointer increment in _nc_infotocap() changes from
9940	  20000311.  Add check for '.' in format of number, since that also
9941	  is not permitted in termcap.
9942	+ correct typo in rxvt-basic terminfo from temporary change made while
9943	  integrating 20000318.
9944
994520000318
9946	+ revert part of the vt220 change (request by Todd C Miller).
9947	+ add ansi-* terminfo entries from ESR's version.
9948	+ add -a option to tic and infocmp, which retains commented-out
9949	  capabilities during source translation/comparison, e.g., captoinfo
9950	  and infotocap.
9951	+ modify cardfile.c to display an empty card if no input data file is
9952	  found, fixes a core dump in that case (reported by Bruno Haible).
9953	+ correct bracketing in CF_MATH_LIB configure macro, which gave wrong
9954	  result for OS/2 EMX.
9955	+ supply required parameter for _nc_resolve_uses() call in
9956	  read_termcap.c, overlooked in 20000311 (reported by Todd C Miller).
9957	> patches by Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>:
9958	+ fix a compiler warning in fty_enum.c
9959	+ correct LIB_PREFIX expression for DEPS_CURSES in progs, tack
9960	  makefiles, which resulted in redundant linking (cf: 20000122).
9961
996220000311
9963	+ make ifdef's for BROKEN_LINKER consistent (patch by Todd C Miller).
9964	+ improved tack/README (patch by Daniel Weaver).
9965	+ modify tput.c to ensure that unspecified parameters are passed to
9966	  tparm() as 0's.
9967	+ add a few checks in infocmp to guard against buffer overflow when
9968	  displaying string capabilities.
9969	+ add check for zero-uses in infocmp's file_comparison() function
9970	  before calling _nc_align_termtype().  Otherwise one parameter is
9971	  indexed past the end of the uses-array.
9972	+ add an option -q to infocmp to specify the less verbose output,
9973	  keeping the existing format as the default, though not retaining the
9974	  previous behavior that made the -F option compare each entry to
9975	  itself.
9976	+ adapted patch by ESR to make infocmp -F less verbose -TD
9977	  (the submitted patch was unusable because it did not compile
9978	  properly)
9979	  + modify write_entry.c to ensure that absent or cancelled booleans
9980	    are written as FALSE, for consistency with infocmp which now
9981	    assumes this.  Note that for the small-core configuration, tic
9982	    may not produce the same result as before.
9983	  + change some private library interfaces used by infocmp, e.g.,
9984	    _nc_resolve_uses().
9985	  + add a check in _nc_infotocap() to ensure that cm-style capabilities
9986	    accept only %d codes when converting the format from terminfo to
9987	    termcap.
9988	  + modify ENTRY struct to separate the data in 'parent' into the name
9989	    and link values (the original idea to merge both into 'parent' was
9990	    not good).
9991	  + discard repair_acsc(tterm);
9992	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
9993	+ drop support for gnat 3.10
9994	+ move generated documentation and html files under ./doc directory,
9995	  adding makefile rules for this to dist.mk
9996
999720000304
9998	+ correct conflicting use of tparm() in 20000226 change to tic, which
9999	  made it check only one entry at a time.
10000	+ fix errors in ncurses-intro.html and hackguide.html shown by Dave
10001	  Raggett's tidy.
10002	+ make the example in ncurses-intro.html do something plausible, and
10003	  corrected misleading comment (reported by Neil Zanella).
10004	+ modify pnoutrefresh() to set newscr->_leaveok as wnoutrefresh() does,
10005	  to fix a case where the cursor position was not updated as in
10006	  Solaris  (patch by David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>).
10007	+ add a limit-check for wresize() to ensure that a subwindow does not
10008	  address out of bounds.
10009	+ correct offsets used for subwindows in wresize() (patch by Michael
10010	  Andres <ma@suse.de>).
10011	+ regenerate html'ized manual pages with man2html 3.0.1 (patch by
10012	  Juergen Pfeifer).  This generated a file with a space in its name,
10013	  which I removed.
10014	+ fix a few spelling errors in tack.
10015	+ modify tack/Makefile.in to match linker options of progs/Makefile.in;
10016	  otherwise it does not build properly for older HPUX shared library
10017	  configurations.
10018	+ add several terminfo entries from esr's "11.0".
10019
1002020000226
10021	+ make 'tput flash' work properly for xterm by flushing output in
10022	  delay_output() when using napms(), and modifying xterm's terminfo to
10023	  specify no padding character.  Otherwise, xterm's reported baud rate
10024	  can mislead ncurses into producing too few padding characters
10025	  (Debian #58530).
10026	+ add a check to tic for consistency between sgr and the separate
10027	  capabilities such as smso, use this to check/correct several
10028	  terminfo entries (Debian #58530).
10029	+ add a check to tic if cvvis is the same as cnorm, adjusted several
10030	  terminfo entries to remove the conflict (Debian #58530).
10031	+ correct prototype shown in attr_set()/wattr_set() manpages (fixes
10032	  Debian #53962).
10033	+ minor clarification for curs_set() and leaveok() manpages.
10034	+ use mkstemp() for creating temporary file for tic's processing of
10035	  $TERMCAP contents (fixes Debian #56465).
10036	+ correct two errors from integrating Alexander's changes:  did not
10037	  handle the non-bce case properly in can_erase_with() (noted by
10038	  Alexander), and left fg/bg uninitialized in the pair-zero case of
10039	  _nc_do_color() (reported by Dr Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> and
10040	  Ismael Cordeiro <ismael@cordeiro.com>).
10041
1004220000219
10043	+ store default-color code consistently as C_MASK, even if given as
10044	  -1 for convenience (adapted from patches by Alexander V Lukyanov).
10045	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
10046	+ change can_clear_with() macro to accommodate logic for
10047	  assume_default_colors(), making most of the FILL_BCE logic
10048	  unnecessary.  Made can_clear_with() an inline function to make it
10049	  simpler to read.
10050
1005120000212
10052	+ corrected form of recent copyright dates.
10053	+ minor corrections to xterm-xf86-v333 terminfo entry -TD
10054	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
10055	+ reworded dft_fgbg.3x to avoid assuming that the terminal's default
10056	  colors are white on black.
10057	+ fix initialization of tstLine so that it is filled with current blank
10058	  character in any case.  Previously it was possible to have it filled
10059	  with old blank.  The wrong over-optimization was introduced in 991002
10060	  patch.  (it is not very critical as the only bad effect is not using
10061	  clr_eos for clearing if blank has changed).
10062
1006320000205
10064	+ minor corrections/updates to several terminfo entries: rxvt-basic,
10065	  vt520, vt525, ibm5151, xterm-xf86-v40 -TD
10066	+ modify ifdef's for poll() to allow it to use <sys/poll.h>, thereby
10067	  allowing poll() to be used on Linux.
10068	+ add CF_FUNC_POLL macro to check if poll() is able to select from
10069	  standard input.  If not we will not use it, preferring select()
10070	  (adapted from patch by Michael Pakovic <mpakovic@fdn.com>).
10071	+ update CF_SHARED_OPTS macro for SCO Unixware 7.1 to allow building
10072	  shared libraries (reported/tested by Thanh <thanhma@mediaone.net>).
10073	+ override $LANGUAGE in build to avoid incorrect ordering of keynames.
10074	+ correct CF_MATH_LIB parameter, must be sin(x), not sqrt(x).
10075
1007620000122
10077	+ resync CF_CHECK_ERRNO and CF_LIB_PREFIX macros from tin and xterm -TD
10078	+ modify CF_MATH_LIB configure macro to parameterize the test function
10079	  used, for reuse in dialog and similar packages.
10080	+ correct tests for file-descriptors in OS/2 EMX mouse support.  A
10081	  negative value could be used by FD_SET, causing the select() call
10082	  to wait indefinitely.
10083
1008420000115
10085	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of delete_character)
10086	  to work when assume_default_colors() is not specified.
10087	+ modify warning message from _nc_parse_entry() regarding extended
10088	  capability names to print only if tic/infocmp/toe have the -v flag
10089	  set, and not at all in ordinary user applications.  Otherwise, this
10090	  warning would be shown for screen's extended capabilities in programs
10091	  that use the termcap interface (reported by Todd C Miller).
10092	+ modify use of _nc_tracing from programs such as tic so their debug
10093	  level is not in the same range as values set by trace() function.
10094	+ small panel header cleanup (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10095	+ add 'railroad' demo for termcap interface.
10096	+ modify 'tic' to write its usage message to stderr (patch by Todd C
10097	  Miller).
10098
1009920000108
10100	+ add prototype for erase() to curses.h.in, needed to make test
10101	  programs build with c++/g++.
10102	+ add .c.i and .c.h suffix rules to generated makefiles, for debugging.
10103	+ correct install rule for tack.1; it assumed that file was in the
10104	  current directory (reported by Mike Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com>).
10105	+ modify terminfo/termcap translation to suppress acsc before trying
10106	  sgr if the entry would be too large (patch by Todd C Miller).
10107	+ document a special case of incompatibility between ncurses 4.2 and
10108	  5.0, add a section for this in INSTALL.
10109	+ add TRACE_DATABASE flag for trace().
10110
1011120000101
10112	+ update mach, add mach-color terminfo entries based on Debian diffs
10113	  for ncurses 5.0 -TD
10114	+ add entries for xterm-hp, xterm-vt220, xterm-vt52 and xterm-noapp
10115	  terminfo entries -TD
10116	+ change OTrs capabilities to rs2 in terminfo.src -TD
10117	+ add obsolete and extended capabilities to 'screen' terminfo -TD
10118	+ corrected conversion from terminfo rs2 to termcap rs (cf: 980704)
10119	+ make conversion to termcap ug (underline glitch) more consistently
10120	  applied.
10121	+ fix out-of-scope use of 'personal[]' buffer in 'toe' (this error
10122	  was in the original pre-1.9.7 version, when $HOME/.terminfo was
10123	  introduced).
10124	+ modify 'toe' to ignore terminfo directories to which it has no
10125	  permissions.
10126	+ modify read_termtype(), fixing 'toe', which could dump core when it
10127	  found an incomplete entry such as "dumb" because it did not
10128	  initialize its buffer for _nc_read_file_entry().
10129	+ use -fPIC rather than -fpic for shared libraries on Linux, not
10130	  needed for i386 but some ports (from Debian diffs for 5.0) -TD
10131	+ use explicit VALID_NUMERIC() checks in a few places that had been
10132	  overlooked, and add a check to ensure that init_tabs is nonzero,
10133	  to avoid divide-by-zero (reported by Todd C Miller).
10134	+ minor fix for CF_ANSI_CC_CHECK configure macro, for HPUX 10.x (from
10135	  tin) -TD
10136
1013719991218
10138	+ reorder tests during mouse initialization to allow for gpm to run in
10139	  xterm, or for xterm to be used under OS/2 EMX.  Also drop test for
10140	  $DISPLAY in favor of kmous=\E[M or $TERM containing "xterm" (report
10141	  by Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>).
10142	+ modify raw() and noraw() to clear/restore IEXTEN flag which affects
10143	  stty lnext on systems such as FreeBSD (report by Bruce Evans
10144	  <bde@zeta.org.au>, via Jason Evans <jasone@canonware.com>).
10145	+ fix a potential (but unlikely) buffer overflow in failed() function
10146	  of tset.c (reported by Todd C Miller).
10147	+ add manual-page for ncurses extensions, documented curses_version(),
10148	  use_extended_names().
10149
1015019991211
10151	+ treat as untranslatable to termcap those terminfo strings which
10152	  contain non-decimal formatting, e.g., hexadecimal or octal.
10153	+ correct commented-out capabilities that cannot be translated to
10154	  termcap, which did not check if a colon must be escaped.
10155	+ correct termcap translation for "%>" and "%+", which did not check
10156	  if a colon must be escaped, for instance.
10157	+ use save_string/save_char for _nc_captoinfo() to eliminate fixed
10158	  buffer (originally for _nc_infotocap() in 960301 -TD).
10159	+ correct expression used for terminfo equivalent of termcap %B,
10160	  adjust regent100 entry which uses this.
10161	+ some cleanup and commenting of ad hoc cases in _nc_infotocap().
10162	+ eliminate a fixed-buffer in tic, used for translating comments.
10163	+ add manpage for infotocap
10164
1016519991204
10166	+ add kvt and gnome terminfo entries -TD
10167	+ correct translation of "%%" by infotocap, which was emitted as "%".
10168	+ add "obsolete" termcap strings to terminfo.src
10169	+ modify infocmp to default to showing obsolete capabilities rather
10170	  than terminfo only.
10171	+ modify write_entry.c so that if extended names (i.e., configure
10172	  --enable-tcap-names) are active, then tic will also write "obsolete"
10173	  capabilities that are present in the terminfo source.
10174	+ modify tic so that when running as captoinfo or infotocap, it
10175	  initializes the output format as in -C and -I options, respectively.
10176	+ improve infocmp and tic -f option by splitting long strings that do
10177	  not have if-then-else construct, but do have parameters, e.g., the
10178	  initc for xterm-88color.
10179	+ refine MKtermsort.sh slightly by using bool for the *_from_termcap
10180	  arrays.
10181
1018219991127
10183	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of clear_screen,
10184	  clr_eol, clr_eos, scrolling) to work when assume_default_colors() is
10185	  not specified.
10186	+ several small changes to xterm terminfo entries -TD.
10187	+ move logic for _nc_windows in lib_freeall.c inside check for nonnull
10188	  SP, since it is part of that struct.
10189	+ remove obsolete shlib-versions, which was unintentionally re-added
10190	  in 970927.
10191	+ modify infocmp -e, -E options to ensure that generated fallback.c
10192	  type for Booleans agrees with term.h (reported by Eric Norum
10193	  <eric@cls.usask.ca>).
10194	+ correct configure script's use of $LIB_PREFIX, which did not work
10195	  for installing the c++ directory if $libdir did not end with "/lib"
10196	  (reported by Huy Le <huyle@ugcs.caltech.edu>).
10197	+ modify infocmp so -L and -f options work together.
10198	+ modify the initialization of SP->_color_table[] in start_color() so
10199	  that color_content() will return usable values for COLORS greater
10200	  than 8.
10201	+ modify ncurses 'd' test in case COLORS is greater than 16, e.g., for
10202	  xterm-88color, to limit the displayed/computed colors to 16.
10203	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
10204	+ simplify coding of the panel library according to suggestions by
10205	  Philippe Blain.
10206	+ improve macro coding for a few macros in curses.priv.h
10207
1020819991113
10209	+ modify treatment of color pair 0 so that if ncurses is configured
10210	  to support default colors, and they are not active, then ncurses
10211	  will set that explicitly, not relying on orig_colors or orig_pair.
10212	+ add new extension, assume_default_colors() to provide better control
10213	  over the use of default colors.
10214	+ modify test programs to use more-specific ifdef's for existence of
10215	  wresize(), resizeterm() and use_default_colors().
10216	+ modify configure script to add specific ifdef's for some functions
10217	  that are included when --enable-ext-funcs is in effect, so their
10218	  existence can be ifdef'd in the test programs.
10219	+ reorder some configure options, moving those extensions that have
10220	  evolved from experimental status into a new section.
10221	+ change configure --enable-tcap-names to enable this by default.
10222
1022319991106
10224	+ install tack's manpage (reported by Robert Weiner
10225	  <robert@progplus.com>)
10226	+ correct worm.c's handling of KEY_RESIZE (patch by Frank Heckenbach).
10227	+ modify curses.h.in, undef'ing some symbols to avoid conflict with C++
10228	  STL (reported by Matt Gerassimoff <mgeras@ticon.net>)
10229
1023019991030
10231	+ modify linux terminfo entry to indicate that dim does not mix with
10232	  color (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@enteract.com>).
10233	+ correct several typos in terminfo entries related to missing '['
10234	  in CSI's -TD
10235	+ fix several compiler warnings in c++ binding (reported by Tim
10236	  Mooney for alphaev56-dec-osf4.0f
10237	+ rename parameter of _nc_free_entries() to accommodate lint.
10238	+ correct lint rule for tack, used incorrect list of source files.
10239	+ add case to config.guess, config.sub for Rhapsody.
10240	+ improve configure tests for libg++ and libstdc++ by omitting the
10241	  math library (which is missing on Rhapsody), and improved test for
10242	  the math library itself (adapted from path by Nelson H. F. Beebe).
10243	+ explicitly initialize to zero several data items which were
10244	  implicitly initialized, e.g., cur_term.  If not explicitly
10245	  initialized, their storage type is C (common), and causes problems
10246	  linking on Rhapsody 5.5 using gcc 2.7.2.1 (reported by Nelson H. F.
10247	  Beebe).
10248	+ modify Ada95 binding to not include the linker option for Ada
10249	  bindings in the Ada headers, but in the Makefiles instead (patch by
10250	  Juergen Pfeifer).
10251
1025219991023 5.0 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
10253	+ effective with release of 5.0, change NCURSES_VERSION_PATCH to
10254	  4-digit year.
10255	+ add function curses_version(), to return ncurses library version
10256	  (request by Bob van der Poel).
10257	+ remove rmam, smam from cygwin terminfo entry.
10258	+ modify FreeBSD cons25 terminfo entry to add cnorm and cvvis, as well
10259	  as update ncv to indicate that 'dim' conflicts with colors.
10260	+ modify configure script to use symbolic links for FreeBSD shared
10261	  libraries by default.
10262	+ correct ranf() function in rain and worm programs to ensure it does
10263	  not return 1.0
10264	+ hide the cursor in hanoi.c if it is running automatically.
10265	+ amend lrtest.c to account for optimizations that exploit margin
10266	  wrapping.
10267	+ add a simple terminfo demo, dots.c
10268	+ modify SIGINT/SIGQUIT handler to set a flag used in _nc_outch() to
10269	  tell it to use write() rather than putc(), since the latter is not
10270	  safe in a signal handler according to POSIX.
10271	+ add/use internal macros _nc_flush() and NC_OUTPUT to hide details
10272	  of output-file pointer in ncurses library.
10273	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS (see 971115), since they are needed for SCO
10274	  OpenServer.
10275	+ correct CC_SHARED_OPTS for building shared libraries for SCO
10276	  OpenServer.
10277	+ remove usleep() from alternatives in napms(), since it may interact
10278	  with alarm(), causing a process to be interrupted by SIGALRM (with
10279	  advice from Bela Lubkin).
10280	+ modify terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4 to build/work with
10281	  GNAT 3.10 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10282	+ remove part of CF_GPP_LIBRARY configure-script macro, which did not
10283	  work with gcc 2.7.2.3
10284	+ minor fix to test/tclock.c to avoid beeping more than once per second
10285	+ add 's' and ' ' decoding to test/rain.c
10286
10287991016	pre-release
10288	+ corrected BeOS code for lib_twait.c, making nodelay() function work.
10289
10290991009	pre-release
10291	+ correct ncurses' value for cursor-column in PutCharLR(), which was
10292	  off-by-one in one case (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
10293	+ fix some minor errors in position_check() debugging code, found while
10294	  using this to validate the PutCharLR() patch.
10295	+ modify firework, lrtest, worm examples to be resizable, and to
10296	  recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' ' for resume.
10297	+ restore reverted change to  terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
10298	  add a note on building with gnat 3.10p to Ada95/TODO.
10299	+ add a copy of the standalone configure script for the test-directory
10300	  to simplify testing on SCO and Solaris.
10301
10302991002	pre-release
10303	+ minor fixes for _nc_msec_cost(), color_content(), pair_content(),
10304	  _nc_freewin(), ClrBottom() and onscreen_mvcur() (analysis by Philippe
10305	  Blain, comments by Alexander V Lukyanov).
10306	+ simplify definition of PANEL and eliminate internal functions
10307	  _nc_calculate_obscure(), _nc_free_obscure() and _nc_override(),
10308	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, analysis by Philippe Blain
10309	  <bledp@voila.fr>)).
10310	+ change renaming of dft_fgbg.3x to use_default_colors.3ncurses in
10311	  man_db.renames, since Debian is not concerned with 14-character
10312	  filename limitation (Debian bug report by Josip Rodin
10313	  <joy@cibalia.gkvk.hr>).
10314	+ corrected scoansi terminfo entry by testing with scoterm and console.
10315	+ revert change from 990614 to terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
10316	  since this does not work for gnat 3.10p
10317	+ modify tclock example to be resizable (if ncurses' sigwinch handler
10318	  is used), and in color.
10319	+ use $(CC) rather than 'gcc' in MK_SHARED_LIB symbols, used for Linux
10320	  shared library rules.
10321
10322990925	pre-release
10323	+ add newer NetBSD console terminfo entries
10324	+ add amiga-8bit terminfo entry (from Henning 'Faroul' Peters
10325	  <Faroul@beyond.kn-bremen.de>)
10326	+ remove -lcurses -ltermcap from configure script's check for the gpm
10327	  library, since they are not really necessary (a properly configured
10328	  gpm library has no dependency on any curses library), and if the
10329	  curses library is not installed, this would cause the test to fail.
10330	+ modify tic's -C option so that terminfo "use=" clauses are translated
10331	  to "tc=" clauses even when running it as captoinfo.
10332	+ modify CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY configure macro to perform its check only
10333	  for GNU C++, since that library conflicts with SGI's libC on IRIX-6.2
10334	+ modify CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro to support build on NetBSD with
10335	  ELF libraries (patch by Bernd Ernesti <bernd@arresum.inka.de>).
10336	+ correct a problem in libpanel, where the _nc_top_panel variable was
10337	  not set properly when bottom_panel() is called to hide a panel which
10338	  is the only one on the stack (report/analysis by Michael Andres
10339	  <ma@suse.de>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10340
10341990918	pre-release
10342	+ add acsc string to HP 70092 terminfo entry (patch by Joerg Wunsch
10343	  <j@interface-business.de>).
10344	+ add top-level uninstall.data and uninstall.man makefile rules.
10345	+ correct logic of CF_LINK_FUNCS configure script, from BeOS changes so
10346	  that hard-links work on Unix again.
10347	+ change default value of cf_cv_builtin_bool to 1 (suggested by
10348	  Jeremy Buhler), making it less likely that a conflicting declaration
10349	  of bool will be seen when compiling with C++.
10350
10351990911	pre-release
10352	+ improved configure checks for builtin.h
10353	+ minor changes to C++ binding (remove static initializations, and make
10354	  configure-test for parameter initializations) for features not
10355	  allowed by vendor's C++ compilers (reported by Martin Mokrejs, this
10356	  applies to SGI, though I found SCO has the same characteristics).
10357	+ corrected quoting of ETIP_xxx definitions which support old versions
10358	  of g++, e.g., those using -lg++
10359	+ remove 'L' code from safe_sprintf.c, since 'long double' is not
10360	  widely portable.  safe_sprintf.c is experimental, however, and
10361	  exists mainly as a fallback for systems without snprintf (reported
10362	  by Martin Mokrejs <mmokrejs@natur.cuni.cz>, for IRIX 6.2)
10363	+ modify definition of _nc_tinfo_fkeys in broken-linker configuration
10364	  so that it is not unnecessarily made extern (Jeffrey C Honig).
10365
10366990904	pre-release
10367	+ move definition for builtin.h in configure tests to specific check
10368	  for libg++, since qt uses the same filename incompatibly.
10369	+ correct logic of lib_termcap.c tgetstr function, which did not copy
10370	  the result to the buffer parameter.  Testing shows Solaris does
10371	  update this, though of course tgetent's buffer is untouched (reported
10372	  in Peter Edwards <peter.edwards@ireland.com> in
10373	  mpc.lists.freebsd.current newsgroup.
10374	+ corrected beterm terminfo entry, which lists some capabilities which
10375	  are not actually provided by the BeOS Terminal.
10376	+ add special logic to replace select() calls on BeOS, whose select()
10377	  function works only for sockets.
10378	+ correct missing escape in mkterm.h.awk.in, which caused part
10379	  of the copyright noticed to be omitted (reported by Peter
10380	  Wemm <peter@netplex.com.au>).
10381	> several small changes to make the c++ binding and demo work on OS/2
10382	  EMX (related to a clean reinstall of EMX):
10383	+ correct library-prefix for c++ binding; none is needed.
10384	+ add $x suffix to make_hash and make_keys so 'make distclean' works.
10385	+ correct missing $x suffix for tack, c++ demo executables.
10386	+ split CF_CXX_LIBRARY into CF_GPP_LIBRARY (for -lg++) and
10387	  CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY (for -lstdc++)
10388
10389990828	pre-release
10390	+ add cygwin terminfo entry -TD
10391	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT configure macro to set .exe extension for cygwin.
10392	+ add configure option --without-cxx-binding, modifying the existing
10393	  --without-cxx option to check only for the C++ compiler
10394	  characteristics.  Whether or not the C++ binding is needed, the
10395	  configure script checks for the size/type of bool, to make ncurses
10396	  match.  Otherwise C++ applications cannot use ncurses.
10397
10398990821	pre-release
10399	+ updated configure macros CF_MAKEFLAGS, CF_CHECK_ERRNO
10400	+ minor corrections to beterm terminfo entry.
10401	+ modify lib_setup.c to reject values of $TERM which have a '/' in
10402	  them.
10403	+ add ifdef's to guard against CS5, CS6, CS7, CS8 being zero, as more
10404	  than one is on BeOS.  That would break a switch statement.
10405	+ add configure macro CF_LINK_FUNCS to detect and work around BeOS's
10406	  nonfunctional link().
10407	+ improved configure macros CF_BOOL_DECL and CF_BOOL_SIZE to detect
10408	  BeOS's bool, which is declared as an unsigned char.
10409
10410990814	pre-release
10411	+ add ms-vt100 terminfo entry -TD
10412	+ minor fixes for misc/emx.src, based on testing with tack.
10413	+ minor fix for test/ncurses.c, test 'a', in case ncv is not set.
10414
10415990731	pre-release
10416	+ minor correction for 'screen' terminfo entry.
10417	+ clarify description of errret values for setupterm in manpage.
10418	+ modify tput to allow it to emit capabilities for hardcopy terminals
10419	  (patch by Goran Uddeborg <goeran@uddeborg.pp.se>).
10420	+ modify the 'o' (panel) test in ncurses.c to show the panels in color
10421	  or at least in bold, to test Juergen's change to wrefresh().
10422	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
10423	+ Fixes a problem using wbkgdset() with panels.  It has actually
10424	  nothing to with panels but is a problem in the implementation of
10425	  wrefresh().  Whenever a window changes its background attribute to
10426	  something different than newscr's background attribute, the whole
10427	  window is touched to force a copy to newscr.  This is an unwanted
10428	  side-effect of wrefresh() and it is actually not necessary.  A
10429	  changed background attribute affects only further outputs of
10430	  background it doesn't mean anything to the current content of the
10431	  window.  So there is no need to force a copy.  (reported by Frank
10432	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>).
10433	+ an upward compatible enhancement of the NCursesPad class in the C++
10434	  binding.  It allows one to add a "viewport" window to a pad and then
10435	  to use panning to view the pad through the viewport window.
10436
10437990724	pre-release
10438	+ suppress a call to def_prog_mode() in the SIGTSTP handler if the
10439	  signal was received while not in curses mode, e.g., endwin() was
10440	  called in preparation for spawning a shell command (reported by Frank
10441	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
10442	+ corrected/enhanced xterm-r5, xterm+sl, xterm+sl-twm terminfo entries.
10443	+ change test for xterm mouse capability:  it now checks only if the
10444	  user's $DISPLAY variable is set in conjunction with the kmous
10445	  capability being present in the terminfo.  Before, it checked if any
10446	  of "xterm", "rxvt" or "kterm" were substrings of the terminal name.
10447	  However, some emulators which are incompatible with xterm in other
10448	  ways do support the xterm mouse capability.
10449	+ reviewed and made minor changes in ncurses to quiet g++ warnings
10450	  about shadowed or uninitialized variables.  g++ incorrectly warns
10451	  about uninitialized variables because it does not take into account
10452	  short-circuit expression evaluation.
10453	+ change ncurses 'b' test to start in color pair 0 and to show in the
10454	  right margin those attributes which are suppressed by no_color_video,
10455	  i.e., "(NCV)".
10456	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h so that __attribute__ is not redefined
10457	  when compiling with g++, but instead disabled the macros derived for
10458	  __attribute__ since g++ does not consistently recognize the same
10459	  keywords as gcc (reported by Stephan K Zitz <zitz@erf.net>).
10460	+ update dependencies for term.h in ncurses/modules (reported by
10461	  Ilya Zakharevich).
10462
10463990710	pre-release
10464	+ modify the form demo in ncurses.c to illustrate how to manipulate the
10465	  field appearance, e.g, for highlighting or translating the field
10466	  contents.
10467	+ correct logic in write_entry from split-out of home_terminfo in
10468	  980919, which prevented update of $HOME/.terminfo (reported by Philip
10469	  Spencer <pspencer@fields.utoronto.ca>).
10470
10471990703	pre-release
10472	+ modify linux terminfo description to make use of kernel 2.2.x mods
10473	  that support cursor style, e.g., to implement cvvis (patch by Frank
10474	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
10475	+ add special-case in setupterm to retain previously-saved terminal
10476	  settings in cur_term, which happens when curses and termcap calls are
10477	  mixed (from report by Bjorn Helgaas <helgaas@dhc.net>).
10478	+ suppress initialization of key-tries in _nc_keypad() if we are only
10479	  disabling keypad mode, e.g., in endwin() called when keypad() was
10480	  not.
10481	+ modify the Ada95 makefile to ensure that always the Ada files from
10482	  the development tree are used for building and not the eventually
10483	  installed ones (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10484
10485990626	pre-release
10486	+ use TTY definition in tack/sysdep.c rather than struct termios
10487	  (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
10488	+ add a fallback for strstr, used in lib_mvcur.c and tack/edit.c,
10489	  not present on sysV68 (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
10490	+ correct definition in comp_hash.c to build with configure
10491	  --with-rcs-ids option.
10492
10493990619	pre-release
10494	+ modified ifdef's for sigaction and sigvec to ensure we do not try to
10495	  handle SIGTSTP if neither is available (from report by Philippe De
10496	  Muyter).
10497	> patch by Philippe De Muyter:
10498	+ in tic.c, use `unlink' if `remove' is not available.
10499	+ use only `unsigned' as fallback value for `speed_t'.  Some files used
10500	  `short' instead.
10501
10502990616	pre-release
10503	+ fix some compiler warnings in tack.
10504	+ add a check for predefined bool type in CC, based on report that
10505	  BeOS predefines a bool type.
10506	+ correct logic for infocmp -e option, i.e., the configure
10507	  --with-fallbacks option, which I'd not updated when implementing
10508	  extended names (cf:  990301).  The new implementation adds a "-E"
10509	  option to infocmp -TD
10510	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
10511	+ introduce the private type Curses_Bool in the Ada95 binding
10512	  implementation.  This is to clearly represent the use of "bool" also
10513	  in the binding.  It should have no effect on the generated code.
10514	+ improve the man page for field_buffer() to tell the people, that the
10515	  whole buffer including leading/trailing spaces is returned.  This is
10516	  a common source of confusion, so it's better to document it clearly.
10517
10518990614	pre-release
10519	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
10520	+ use pragma PreElaborate in several places.
10521	+ change a few System.Address uses to more specific types.
10522	+ change interface version-number to 1.0
10523	+ regenerate Ada95 HTML files.
10524
10525990612	pre-release
10526	+ modify lib_endwin.c to avoid calling reset_shell_mode(), return ERR
10527	  if it appears that curses was never initialized, e.g., by initscr().
10528	  For instance, this guards against setting the terminal modes to
10529	  strange values if endwin() is called after setupterm().  In the same
10530	  context, Solaris curses will dump core.
10531	+ modify logic that avoids a conflict in lib_vidattr.c between sgr0 and
10532	  equivalent values in rmso or rmul by ensuring we do not modify the
10533	  data which would be returned by the terminfo or termcap interfaces
10534	  (reported by Brad Pepers <brad@linuxcanada.com>, cf:  960706).
10535	+ add a null-pointer check for SP in lib_vidattr.c to logic that checks
10536	  for magic cookies.
10537	+ improve fallback declaration of 'bool' when the --without-cxx option
10538	  is given, by using a 'char' on i386 and related hosts (prompted by
10539	  discussion with Alexander V Lukyanov).
10540
10541990605	pre-release
10542	+ include time.h in lib_napms.c if nanosleep is used (patch by
10543	  R Lindsay Todd <toddr@rpi.edu>).
10544	+ add an "#undef bool" to curses.h, in case someone tries to define it,
10545	  e.g., perl.
10546	+ add check to tparm to guard against divide by zero (reported by Aaron
10547	  Campbell <aaron@ug.cs.dal.ca>).
10548
10549990516	pre-release
10550	+ minor fix to build tack on CLIX (mismatched const).
10551	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
10552	+ change Juergen's old email address with new one in the files where it
10553	  is referenced.  The Ada95 HTML pages are regenerated.
10554	+ update MANIFEST to list the tack files.
10555
10556990509	pre-release
10557	+ minor fixes to make 'tack' build/link on NeXT (reported by Francisco
10558	  A. Tomei Torres).
10559
10560990417	pre-release
10561	+ add 'tack' program (which is GPL'd), updating it to work with the
10562	  modified TERMTYPE struct and making a fix to support setaf/setab
10563	  capabilities.  Note that the tack program is not part of the
10564	  ncurses libraries, but an application which can be distributed with
10565	  ncurses.  The configure script will ignore the directory if it is
10566	  omitted, however.
10567	+ modify gpm mouse support so that buttons 2 and 3 are used for
10568	  select/paste only when shift key is pressed, making them available
10569	  for use by an application (patch by Klaus Weide).
10570	+ add complete list of function keys to scoansi terminfo entry - TD
10571
10572990410	pre-release
10573	+ add a simple test program cardfile.c to illustrate how to read form
10574	  fields, and showing forms within panels.
10575	+ change shared-library versioning for the Hurd to be like Linux rather
10576	  than *BSD (patch by Mark Kettenis <kettenis@wins.uva.nl>).
10577	+ add linux-lat terminfo entry.
10578	+ back-out _nc_access check in read_termcap.c (both incorrect and
10579	  unnecessary, except to guard against a small window where the file's
10580	  ownership may change).
10581
10582990403	pre-release
10583	+ remove conflicting _nc_free_termtype() function from test module
10584	  lib_freeall.c
10585	+ use _nc_access check in read_termcap.c for termpaths[] array (noted
10586	  by Jeremy Buhler, indicating that Alan Cox made a similar patch).
10587	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
10588	+ modify menu creation to not inherit status flag from the default menu
10589	  which says that the associated marker string has been allocated and
10590	  should be freed (bug reported by Marek Paliwoda"
10591	  <paliwoda@kki.net.pl>)
10592
10593990327	pre-release (alpha.gnu.org:/gnu/ncurses-5.0-beta1.tar.gz)
10594	+ minor fixes to xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry - TD.
10595	+ split up an expression in configure script check for ldconfig to
10596	  workaround limitation of BSD/OS sh (reported by Jeff Haas
10597	  <jmh@mail.msen.com>).
10598	+ correct a typo in man/form_hook.3x (Todd C Miller).
10599
10600990318	pre-release
10601	+ parenthesize and undef 'index' symbol in c++ binding and demo, to
10602	  accommodate its definition on NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei
10603	  Torres).
10604	+ add sigismember() to base/sigaction.c compatibility to link on NeXT
10605	  (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
10606	+ further refinements to inequality in hashmap.c to cover a case with
10607	  ^U in nvi (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
10608
10609990316	pre-release
10610	+ add fallback definition for getcwd, to link on NeXT.
10611	+ add a copy of cur_term to tic.c to make it link properly on NeXT
10612	  (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
10613	+ change inequality in hashmap.c which checks the distance traveled by
10614	  a chunk so that ^D command in nvi (scrolls 1/2 screen) will use
10615	  scrolling logic (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov, reported by Jeffrey
10616	  C Honig).
10617
10618990314	pre-release
10619	+ modify lib_color.c to handle a special case where the curscr
10620	  attributes have been made obsolete (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
10621	+ update BSD/OS console terminfo entries to use klone+sgr and
10622	  klone+color (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
10623	+ update glibc addon configure script for extended capabilities.
10624	+ correct a couple of warnings in the --enable-const configuration.
10625	+ make comp_hash build properly with _nc_strdup(), on NeXT (reported by
10626	  Francisco A. Tomei Torres <francisco.tomei@cwix.com>).
10627
10628990313	pre-release
10629	+ correct typos in linux-c initc string - TD
10630	+ add 'crt' terminfo entry, update xterm-xfree86 entry - TD
10631	+ remove a spurious argument to tparm() in lib_sklrefr.c (patch by
10632	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
10633
10634990307	pre-release
10635	+ back-out change to wgetch because it causes a problem with ^Z
10636	  handling in lynx (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
10637
10638990306	pre-release
10639	+ add -G option to tic and infocmp, to reverse the "-g" option.
10640	+ recode functions in name_match.c to avoid use of strncpy, which
10641	  caused a 4-fold slowdown in tic (cf: 980530).
10642	+ correct a few warnings about sign-extension in recent changes.
10643	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
10644	+ fixes suggested by Jeff Bradbury <jibradbury@lucent.com>:
10645	  + improved parameter checking in new_fieldtype().
10646	  + fixed a typo in wgetch() timeout handling.
10647	  + allow slk_init() to be called per newterm call.  The internal SLK
10648	    state is stored in the SCREEN struct after every newterm() and then
10649	    reset for the next newterm.
10650	  + fix the problem that a slk_refresh() refreshes stdscr if the
10651	    terminal has true SLKs.
10652	+ update HTML documentation for Ada binding.
10653
10654990301	pre-release
10655	+ remove 'bool' casts from definitions of TRUE/FALSE so that statements
10656	  such as "#if TRUE" work.  This was originally done to allow for a C++
10657	  compiler which would warn of implicit conversions between enum and
10658	  int, but is not needed for g++ (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
10659	+ add use_extended_names() function to allow applications to suppress
10660	  read of the extended capabilities.
10661	+ add configure option --enable-tcap-names to support logic which
10662	  allows ncurses' tic to define new (i.e., extended) terminal
10663	  capabilities.  This is activated by the tic -x switch.  The infocmp
10664	  program automatically shows or compares extended capabilities.
10665	  Note:  This changes the Strings and similar arrays in the TERMTYPE
10666	  struct so that applications which manipulate it must be recompiled.
10667	+ use macros typeMalloc, typeCalloc and typeRealloc consistently
10668	  throughout ncurses library.
10669	+ add _nc_strdup() to doalloc.c.
10670	+ modify define_key() to allow multiple strings to be bound to the
10671	  same keycode.
10672	+ correct logic error in _nc_remove_string, from 990220.
10673	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
10674	+ regenerate some of the html documentation
10675	+ minor cleanup in terminal_interface-curses.adb
10676
10677990220	pre-release
10678	+ resolve ambiguity of kend/kll/kslt and khome/kfnd/kich1 strings in
10679	  xterm and ncsa terminfo entries by removing the unneeded ones.  Note
10680	  that some entries will return kend & khome versus kslt and kfnd, for
10681	  PC-style keyboards versus strict vt220 compatibility - TD
10682	+ add function keybound(), which returns the definition associated with
10683	  a given keycode.
10684	+ modify define_key() to undefine the given string when no keycode is
10685	  given.
10686	+ modify keyok() so it works properly if there is more than one string
10687	  defined for a keycode.
10688	+ add check to tic to warn about terminfo descriptions that contain
10689	  more than one key assigned to the same string.  This is shown only if
10690	  the verbose (-v) option is given.  Moved related logic (tic -v) from
10691	  comp_parse.c into the tic program.
10692	+ add/use _nc_trace_tries() to show the function keys that will be
10693	  recognized.
10694	+ rename init_acs to _nc_init_acs (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
10695	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
10696	+ remove all the *_adabind.c from ncurses, menu and form projects.
10697	  Those little helper routines have all been implemented in Ada and are
10698	  no longer required.
10699	+ The option handling routines in menu and form have been made more
10700	  save.  They now make sure that the unused bits in options are always
10701	  zero.
10702	+ modify configuration scripts to
10703	  + use gnatmake as default compiler name.  This is a safer choice than
10704	    gcc, because some GNAT implementations use other names for the
10705	    compilerdriver to avoid conflicts.
10706	  + use new default installation locations for the Ada files according
10707	    to the proposed GNU Ada filesystem standard (for Linux).
10708	+ simplify the Makefiles for the Ada binding
10709	+ rename ada_include directory to src.
10710
10711990213
10712	+ enable sigwinch handler by default.
10713	+ disable logic that allows setbuf to be turned off/on, because some
10714	  implementations will overrun the buffer after it has been disabled
10715	  once.
10716
10717990206
10718	+ suppress sc/rc capabilities from terminal description if they appear
10719	  in smcup/rmcup.  This affects only scrolling optimization, to fix a
10720	  problem reported by several people with xterm's alternate screen,
10721	  though the problem is more general.
10722	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
10723	+ removed all pragma Preelaborate() stuff, because the just released
10724	  gnat-3.11p complains on some constructs.
10725	+ fixed some upper/lower case notations because gnat-3.11p found
10726	  inconsistent use.
10727	+ used a new method to generate the HTML documentation of the Ada95
10728	  binding.  This invalidates nearly the whole ./Ada95/html subtree.
10729	  Nearly all current files in this subtree are removed
10730
10731990130
10732	+ cache last result from _nc_baudrate, for performance (suggested by
10733	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
10734	+ modify ClrUpdate() function to workaround a problem in nvi, which
10735	  uses redrawwin in SIGTSTP handling.  Jeffrey C Honig reported that
10736	  ncurses repainted the screen with nulls before resuming normal
10737	  operation (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
10738	+ generalize is_xterm() function a little by letting xterm/rxvt/kterm
10739	  be any substring rather than the prefix.
10740	+ modify lib_data.c to initialize SP.  Some linkers, e.g., IBM's, will
10741	  not link a module if the only symbols exported from the module are
10742	  uninitialized ones (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).  Ilya says that he
10743	  has seen messages claiming this behavior conforms to the standard.)
10744	+ move call on _nc_signal_handler past _nc_initscr, to avoid a small
10745	  window where Nttyb hasn't yet been filled (reported by Klaus Weide).
10746	+ modify lib_tstp.c to block SIGTTOU when handling SIGTSTP, fixes a
10747	  problem where ncurses applications which were run via a shell script
10748	  would hang when given a ^Z.  Also, check if the terminal's process
10749	  group is consistent, i.e., a shell has not taken ownership of it,
10750	  before deciding to save the current terminal settings in the SIGTSTP
10751	  handler (patch by Klaus Weide).
10752	+ correct spelling of ACS_ names in curs_border.3x (reported by Bob van
10753	  der Poel <bvdpoel@kootenay.com>).
10754	+ correct a couple of typos in the macros supporting the configure
10755	  --with-shlib-version option.
10756
10757990123
10758	+ modify fty_regex.c to compile on HAVE_REGEXPR_H_FUNCS machine (patch
10759	  by Kimio Ishii <ishii@csl.sony.co.jp>).
10760	+ rename BSDI console terminfo entries:  bsdos to bsdos-pc-nobold, and
10761	  bsdos-bold to bsdos-pc (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
10762	+ modify tput to accept termcap names as an alternative to terminfo
10763	  names (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
10764	+ correct a typo in term.7 (Todd C Miller).
10765	+ add configure --with-shlib-version option to allow installing shared
10766	  libraries named according to release or ABI versions.  This
10767	  parameterizes some existing logic in the configure script, and is
10768	  intended for compatibility upgrades on Digital Unix, which used
10769	  versioned libraries in ncurses 4.2, but no longer does (cf:  980425).
10770	+ resync configure script against autoconf 2.13 + patches
10771	+ minor improvements for teraterm terminfo entry based on the program's
10772	  source distribution.
10773
10774990116
10775	+ change default for configure --enable-big-core to assume machines do
10776	  have enough memory to resolve terminfo.src in-memory.
10777	+ correct name of ncurses library in TEST_ARGS when configuring with
10778	  debug library.
10779	+ minor fixes to compile ncurses library with broken-linker with g++.
10780	+ add --enable-broken-linker configure option, default to environment
10781	  variable $BROKEN_LINKER (request by Jeffrey C Honig).
10782	+ change key_names[] array to static since it is not part of the curses
10783	  interface (reported by Jeffrey C Honig <jch@bsdi.com>).
10784
10785990110
10786	+ add Tera Term terminfo entry - TD
10787
10788990109
10789	+ reviewed/corrected macros in curses.h as per XSI document.
10790	+ provide support for termcap PC variable by copying it from terminfo
10791	  data and using it as the padding character in tputs (reported by
10792	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
10793	+ corrected iris-ansi and iris-ansi-ap terminfo entries for kent and
10794	  kf9-kf12 capabilities, as well as adding kcbt.
10795	+ document the mouse handling mechanism in menu_driver and make a small
10796	  change in menu_driver's return codes to provide more consistency
10797	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
10798	+ add fallback definition for NCURSES_CONST to termcap.h.in (reported
10799	  by Uchiyama Yasushi <uch@nop.or.jp>).
10800	+ move lib_restart.c to ncurses/base, since it uses curses functions
10801	  directly, and therefore cannot be used in libtinfo.so
10802	+ rename micro_char_size to micro_col_size, adding #define to retain
10803	  old name.
10804	+ add set_a_attributes and set_pglen_inch to terminfo structure, as per
10805	  XSI and Solaris 2.5.
10806	+ minor makefile files to build ncurses test_progs
10807	+ update html files in misc directory to reflect changes since 4.2
10808
10809990102
10810	+ disable scroll hints when hashmap is enabled (patch by Alexander
10811	  V Lukyanov).
10812	+ move logic for tic's verify of -e option versus -I and -C so that the
10813	  terminfo data is not processed if we cannot handle -e (reported by
10814	  Steven Schwartz <steves@unitrends.com>.
10815	+ add test-driver traces to terminfo and termcap functions.
10816	+ provide support for termcap ospeed variable by copying it from the
10817	  internal cur_term member, and using ospeed as the baudrate reference
10818	  for the delay_output and tputs functions.  If an application does not
10819	  set ospeed, the library behaves as before, except that _nc_timed_wait
10820	  is no longer used, or needed, since ospeed always has a value.  But
10821	  the application can modify ospeed to adjust the output of padding
10822	  characters (prompted by a bug report for screen 3.7.6 and email from
10823	  Michael Schroeder <Michael.Schroeder@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>).
10824	+ removed some unused ifdef's as part of Alexander's restructuring.
10825	+ reviewed/updated curses.h, term.h against X/Open Curses Issue 4
10826	  Version 2.  This includes making some parameters NCURSES_CONST
10827	  rather than const, e.g., in termcap.h.
10828	+ change linux terminfo entry to use ncv#2, since underline does not
10829	  work with color
10830
10831981226
10832	+ miscellaneous corrections for curses.h to match XSI.
10833	+ change --enable-no-padding configure option to be normally enabled.
10834	+ add section to ncurses manpage for environment variables.
10835	+ investigated Debian bug report that pertains to screen 3.7.4/3.7.6
10836	  changes, found no sign of problems on Linux (or on SunOS, Solaris)
10837	  running screen built with ncurses.
10838	+ check if tmp_fp is opened in tic.c before closing it (patch by Pavel
10839	  Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>).
10840	+ correct several font specification typos in man-pages.
10841
10842981220
10843	+ correct default value for BUILD_CC (reported by Larry Virden).
10844
10845981219
10846	+ modify _nc_set_writedir() to set a flag in _nc_tic_dir() to prevent
10847	  it from changing the terminfo directory after chdir'ing to it.
10848	  Otherwise, a relative path in $TERMINFO would confuse tic (prompted
10849	  by a Debian bug report).
10850	+ correct/update ncsa terminfo entry (report by Larry Virden).
10851	+ update xterm-xfree86 terminfo to current (patch 90), smcur/rmcur
10852	  changes
10853	+ add Mathew Vernon's mach console entries to terminfo.src
10854	+ more changes, moving functions, as part of Alexander's restructuring.
10855	+ modify configure script for GNU/Hurd share-library support, introduce
10856	  BUILD_CC variable for cross compiling (patch by Uchiyama Yasushi
10857	  <uch@nop.or.jp>)
10858
10859981212
10860	+ add environment variable NCURSES_NO_SETBUF to allow disabling the
10861	  setbuf feature, for testing purposes.
10862	+ correct ifdef's for termcap.h versus term.h that suppress redundant
10863	  declarations of prototypes (reported by H.J.Lu).
10864	+ modify Makefile.os2 to add linker flags which allow multiple copies
10865	  of an application to coexist (reported by Ilya Zakharevich).
10866	+ update Makefile.glibc and associated configure script so that ncurses
10867	  builds as a glibc add-on with the new directory configuration
10868	  (reported by H.J.Lu).
10869
10870981205
10871	+ modify gen_reps() function in gen.c to work properly on SunOS
10872	  (sparc), which is a left-to-right architecture.
10873	+ modify relative_move and tputs to avoid an interaction with the
10874	  BSD-style padding.  The relative_move function could produce a string
10875	  to replace on the screen which began with a numeric character, which
10876	  was then interpreted by tputs as padding.  Now relative_move will not
10877	  generate a string with a leading digit in that case (overwrite).
10878	  Also, tputs will only interpret padding if the string begins with a
10879	  digit; as coded it permitted a string to begin with a decimal point
10880	  or asterisk (reported by Larry Virden).
10881	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
10882	+ fix a typo in m_driver.c mouse handling and improves the error
10883	  handling.
10884	+ fix broken mouse handling in the Ada95 binding
10885	+ make the Ada95 sample application menus work with the new menu mouse
10886	  support
10887	+ improve the mouse handling introduced by Ilya; it now handles menus
10888	  with spacing.
10889	+ repair a minor bug in the menu_driver code discovered during this
10890	  rework.
10891	+ add new function wmouse_trafo() to hide implementation details of
10892	  _yoffset member of WINDOW struct needed for mouse coordinate
10893	  transformation.
10894
10895981128
10896	+ modify Ada95/gen/gen.c to avoid using return-value of sprintf, since
10897	  some older implementations (e.g., SunOS 4.x) return the buffer
10898	  address rather than its length.
10899	> patch by Rick Ohnemus:
10900	+ modify demo.cc to get it to compile with newer versions of egcs.
10901	+ trim a space that appears at the end of the table preprocessor lines
10902	  ('\" t).  This space prevents some versions of man from displaying
10903	  the pages - changed to remove all trailing whitespace (TD)
10904	+ finally, 'make clean' does not remove panel objects.
10905	> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
10906	+ allow remapping of OS/2 mouse buttons using environment variable
10907	  MOUSE_BUTTONS_123 with the default value 132.
10908	+ add mouse support to ncurses menus.
10909
10910981121
10911	+ modify misc/makedef.cmd to report old-style .def file symbols, and to
10912	  generate the .def files sorted by increasing names rather than the
10913	  reverse.
10914	+ add misc/*.ref which are J.J.G.Ripoll's dll definition files (renamed
10915	  from misc/*.old), and updated based on the entrypoint coding he used
10916	  for an older version of ncurses.
10917	+ add README.emx, to document how to build on OS/2 EMX.
10918	+ updates for config.guess, config.sub from Lynx
10919	> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
10920	+ minor fixes for mouse handling mode:
10921	  a) Do not initialize mouse if the request is to have no mouse;
10922	  b) Allow switching of OS/2 VIO mouse on and off.
10923	+ modify Makefile.os2 to support alternative means of generating
10924	  configure script, by translating Unix script with Perl.
10925	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
10926	+ Updates MANIFEST to reflect changes in source structure
10927	+ Eliminates a problem introduced with my last patch for the C++
10928	  binding in the panels code.  It removes the update() call done in the
10929	  panel destructor.
10930	+ Changes in the Ada95 binding to better support systems where
10931	  sizeof(chtype)!=sizeof(int) (e.g.  DEC Alpha).
10932
10933981114
10934	+ modify install-script for manpages to skip over .orig and .rej files
10935	  (request by Larry Virden).
10936	> patches/discussion by Alexander V Lukyanov:
10937	+ move base-library sources into ncurses/base and tty (serial terminal)
10938	  sources into ncurses/tty, as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's proposed
10939	  changes to ncurses library.
10940	+ copy _tracemouse() into ncurses.c so that lib_tracemse.c need not
10941	  be linked into the normal ncurses library.
10942	+ move macro winch to a function, to hide details of struct ldat
10943	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
10944	+ fix a potential compile problem in cursesw.cc
10945	+ some Ada95 cosmetics
10946	+ fix a gen.c problem when compiling on 64-Bit machines
10947	+ fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in "-L" linker switch
10948	+ modify Ada95 makefiles to use the INSTALL_PREFIX setting.
10949
10950981107
10951	+ ifdef'd out lib_freeall.c when not configured.
10952	+ rename _tracebits() to _nc_tracebits().
10953	+ move terminfo-library sources into ncurses/tinfo, and trace-support
10954	  functions into ncurses/trace as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's
10955	  proposed changes to ncurses library.
10956	+ modify generated term.h to always specify its own definitions for
10957	  HAVE_TERMIOS_H, etc., to guard against inclusion by programs with
10958	  broken configure scripts.
10959
10960981031
10961	+ modify terminfo parsing to accept octal and hexadecimal constants,
10962	  like Solaris.
10963	+ remove an autoconf 2.10 artifact from the configure script's check
10964	  for "-g" compiler options.  (Though harmless, this confused someone
10965	  at Debian, who recently issued a patch that results in the opposite
10966	  effect).
10967	+ add configure option --with-ada-compiler to accommodate installations
10968	  that do not use gcc as the driver for GNAT (patch by Juergen
10969	  Pfeifer).
10970
10971981017
10972	+ ensure ./man exists in configure script, needed when configuring
10973	  with --srcdir option.
10974	+ modify infocmp "-r" option to remove limit on formatted termcap
10975	  output, which makes it more like Solaris' version.
10976	+ modify captoinfo to treat no-argument case more like Solaris'
10977	  version, which uses the contents of $TERMCAP as the entry to format.
10978	+ modify mk-2nd.awk to handle subdirectories, e.g., ncurses/tty
10979	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
10980
10981981010
10982	+ modify --with-terminfo-dirs option so that the default value is the
10983	  ${datadir} value, unless $TERMINFO_DIRS is already set.  This gets
10984	  rid of a hardcoded list of candidate directories in the configure
10985	  script.
10986	+ add some error-checking to _nc_read_file_entry() to ensure that
10987	  strings are properly terminated (Todd C Miller).
10988	+ rename manpage file curs_scr_dmp.3x to curs_scr_dump.3x, to
10989	  correspond with contents (reported by Neil Zanella
10990	  <nzanella@cs.mun.ca>).
10991	+ remove redundant configure check for C++ which did not work when $CXX
10992	  was specified with a full pathname (reported by Andreas Jaeger).
10993	+ corrected bcopy/memmove check; the macro was not standalone.
10994
10995981003
10996	+ remove unnecessary portion of OS/2 EMX mouse change from
10997	  check_pending() (reported by Alexander V Lukyanov).
10998
10999980926
11000	+ implement mouse support for OS/2 EMX (adapted from patch against
11001	  4.2(?) by Ilya Zakharevich).
11002	+ add configure-check for bcopy/memmove, for 980919 changes to hashmap.
11003	+ merge Data General terminfo from Hasufin <hasufin@vidnet.net> - TD
11004	+ merge AIX 3.2.5 terminfo descriptions for IBM terminals, replaces
11005	  some older entries - TD
11006	+ modify tic to compile into %'char' form in preference to %{number},
11007	  since that is a little more efficient.
11008	+ minor correction to infocmp to avoid displaying "difference" between
11009	  two capabilities that are rendered in equivalent forms.
11010	+ add "-g" option to tic/infocmp to force character constants to be
11011	  displayed in quoted form.  Otherwise their decimal values are shown.
11012	+ modify setupterm so that cancelled strings are treated the same as
11013	  absent strings, cancelled and absent booleans false (does not affect
11014	  tic, infocmp).
11015	+ modify tic, infocmp to discard redundant i3, r3 strings when output
11016	  to termcap format.
11017	> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
11018	+ improve performance of tparm, now it takes 19% instead of 25% when
11019	  profiling worm.
11020	+ rename maxlen/minlen to prec/width for better readability.
11021	+ use format string for printing strings.
11022	+ use len argument correctly in save_text, and pass it to save_number.
11023
11024980919
11025	+ make test_progs compile (but hashmap does not function).
11026	+ correct NC_BUFFERED macro, used in lib_mvcur test-driver, modify
11027	  associated logic to avoid freeing the SP->_setbuf data.
11028	+ add modules home_terminfo and getenv_num to libtinfo.
11029	+ move write_entry to libtinfo, to work with termcap caching.
11030	+ minor fixes to blue.c to build with atac.
11031	+ remove softscroll.c module; no longer needed for testing.
11032	> patches by Todd C Miller:
11033	+ use strtol(3) instead of atoi(3) when parsing env variables so we can
11034	  detect a bogus (non-numeric) value.
11035	+ check for terminal names > MAX_NAME_SIZE in a few more places when
11036	  dealing with env variables again.
11037	+ fix a MAX_NAME_SIZE that should be MAX_NAME_SIZE+1
11038	+ use sizeof instead of strlen(3) on PRIVATE_INFO since it is a fixed
11039	  string #define (compile time vs runtime).
11040	+ when setting errno to ENOMEM, set it right before the return, not
11041	  before code that could, possibly, set errno to a different value.
11042	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
11043	+ use default background in update_cost_from_blank()
11044	+ disable scroll-hints when hashmap is configured.
11045	+ improve integration of hashmap scrolling code, by adding oldhash and
11046	  newhash data to SP struct.
11047	+ invoke del_curterm from delscreen.
11048	+ modify del_curterm to set cur_term to null if it matches the
11049	  function's parameter which is deleted.
11050	+ modify lib_doupdate to prefer parm_ich to the enter_insert_mode and
11051	  exit_insert_mode combination, adjusting InsCharCost to check
11052	  enter_insert_mode, exit_insert_mode and insert_padding.  Add
11053	  insert_padding in insert mode after each char.  This adds new costs
11054	  to the SP struct.
11055
11056980912
11057	+ modify test-driver in lib_mvcur.s to use _nc_setbuffer, for
11058	  consistent treatment.
11059	+ modify ncurses to restore output to unbuffered on endwin, and resume
11060	  buffering in refresh (see lib_set_term.c and NC_BUFFERED macro).
11061	+ corrected HTML version numbers (according to the W3C validator, they
11062	  never were HTML 2.0-compliant, but are acceptable 3.0).
11063
11064980905
11065	+ modify MKterminfo.sh to generate terminfo.5 with tables sorted by
11066	  capability name, as in SVr4.
11067	+ modified term.h, termcap.h headers to avoid redundant declarations.
11068	+ change 'u_int' type in tset.c to unsigned, making this compile on
11069	  Sequent PRX 4.1 (reported by Michael Sterrett <msterret@coat.com>).
11070
11071980829
11072	+ corrections to mailing addresses, and moving the magic line that
11073	  causes the man program to invoke tbl to the first line of each
11074	  manpage (patch by Rick Ohnemus <rick@ecompcon.com>).
11075	+ add Makefile.os2 and supporting scripts to generate dll's on OS/2 EMX
11076	  (from J.J.G.Ripoll, with further integration by TD).
11077	+ correct a typo in icl6404 terminfo entry.
11078	+ add xtermm and xtermc terminfo entries.
11079	> from esr's terminfo version:
11080	+ Added Francesco Potorti's tuned Wyse 99 entries.
11081	+ dtterm enacs (from Alexander V Lukyanov).
11082	+ Add ncsa-ns, ncsa-m-ns and ncsa-m entries from esr version.
11083
11084980822
11085	+ document AT&T acs characters in terminfo.5 manpage.
11086	+ use EMX _scrsize() function if terminfo and environment do not
11087	  declare the screen size (reported by Ilya Zakharevich
11088	  <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>).
11089	+ remove spurious '\' characters from eterm and osborne terminfo
11090	  entries (prompted by an old Debian bug report).
11091	+ correct reversed malloc/realloc calls in _nc_doalloc (reported by
11092	  Hans-Joachim Widmaier <hjwidmai@foxboro.com>).
11093	+ correct misplaced parenthesis which caused file-descriptor from
11094	  opening termcap to be lost, from 980725 changes (reported by Andreas
11095	  Jaeger).
11096
11097980815
11098	+ modify lib_setup.c to eliminate unneeded include of <sys/ioctl.h>
11099	  when termios is not used (patch by Todd C Miller).
11100	+ add function _nc_doalloc, to ensure that failed realloc calls do not
11101	  leak memory (reported by Todd C Miller).
11102	+ improved ncsa-telnet terminfo entry.
11103
11104980809
11105	+ correct missing braces around a trace statement in read_entry.c,
11106	  from 980808 (reported by Kim DeVaughn <kimdv@best.com> and Liviu
11107	  Daia).
11108
11109980808
11110	+ fix missing include <errno.h> in ditto.c (reported by Bernhard
11111	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@k5.sucks.eu.org>)
11112	+ add NCSA telnet terminfo entries from Francesco Potorti
11113	  <F.Potorti@cnuce.cnr.it>, from Debian bug reports.
11114	+ make handling of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables more compatible with
11115	  Solaris by allowing them to individually override the window size
11116	  as obtained via ioctl.
11117
11118980801
11119	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to allow for terminal types (e.g., xterm-color)
11120	  which may reset all attributes in the 'op' capability, so that colors
11121	  are set before turning on bold and other attributes, but still after
11122	  turning attributes off.
11123	+ add 'ditto.c' to test directory to illustrate use of newterm for
11124	  initializing multiple screens.
11125	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to recover from failed attempt to link alias
11126	  for a terminfo on a filesystem which does not preserve character case
11127	  (reported by Peter L Jordan <PJordan@chla.usc.edu>).
11128
11129980725
11130	+ updated versions of config.guess and config.sub based on automake 1.3
11131	+ change name-comparisons in lib_termcap to compare no more than 2
11132	  characters (gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8, verified
11133	  with Solaris curses).
11134	+ fix typo in curs_insstr.3x (patch by Todd C Miller)
11135	+ use 'access()' to check if ncurses library should be permitted to
11136	  open or modify files with fopen/open/link/unlink/remove calls, in
11137	  case the calling application is running in setuid mode (request by
11138	  Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>, responding to Duncan Simpson
11139	  <dps@io.stargate.co.uk>).
11140	+ arm100 terminfo entries from Dave Millen <dmill@globalnet.co.uk>).
11141	+ qnxt2 and minitel terminfo entries from esr's version.
11142
11143980718
11144	+ use -R option with ldconfig on FreeBSD because otherwise it resets
11145	  the search path to /usr/lib (reported by Dan Nelson).
11146	+ add -soname option when building shared libraries on OpenBSD 2.x
11147	  (request by QingLong).
11148	+ add configure options --with-manpage-format and
11149	  --with-manpage-renames (request by QingLong).
11150	+ correct conversion of CANCELLED_NUMERIC in write_object(), which was
11151	  omitting the high-order byte, producing a 254 in the compiled
11152	  terminfo.
11153	+ modify return-values of tgetflag, tgetnum, tgetstr, tigetflag,
11154	  tigetnum and tigetstr to be compatible with Solaris (gleaned from
11155	  Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8).
11156	+ modify _nc_syserr_abort to abort only when compiled for debugging,
11157	  otherwise simply exit with an error.
11158
11159980711
11160	+ modify Ada95 'gen' program to use appropriate library suffix (e.g.,
11161	  "_g" for a debug build).
11162	+ update Ada95 'make clean' rule to include generics .ali files
11163	+ add a configure test to ensure that if GNAT is found, that it can
11164	  compile/link working Ada95 program.
11165	+ flush output in beep and flash functions, fixing a problem with
11166	  getstr (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov)
11167	+ fix egcs 1.0.2 warning for etip.h (patch by Chris Johns).
11168	+ correct ifdef/brace nesting in lib_sprintf.c (patch by Bernhard
11169	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@Pool.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE>).
11170	+ correct typo in wattr_get macro from 980509 fixes (patch by Dan
11171	  Nelson).
11172
11173980704
11174	+ merge changes from current XFree86 xterm terminfo descriptions.
11175	+ add configure option '--without-ada'.
11176	+ add a smart-default for termcap 'ac' to terminfo 'acs_chars' which
11177	  corresponds to vt100.
11178	+ change translation for termcap 'rs' to terminfo 'rs2', which is
11179	  the documented equivalent, rather than 'rs1'.
11180
11181980627
11182	+ slow 'worm' down a little, for very fast machines.
11183	+ corrected firstchar/lastchar computation in lib_hline.c
11184	+ simplify some expressions with CHANGED_CELL, CHANGED_RANGE and
11185	  CHANGED_TO_EOL macros.
11186	+ modify init_pair so that if a color-pair is reinitialized, we will
11187	  repaint the areas of the screen whose color changes, like SVr4 curses
11188	  (reported by Christian Maurer <maurer@inf.fu-berlin.de>).
11189	+ modify getsyx/setsyx macros to comply with SVr4 man-page which
11190	  says that leaveok() affects their behavior (report by Darryl Miles,
11191	  patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
11192
11193980620
11194	+ review terminfo.5 against Solaris 2.6 curses version, corrected
11195	  several minor errors/omissions.
11196	+ implement tparm %l format.
11197	+ implement tparm printf-style width and precision for %s, %d, %x, %o
11198	  as per XSI.
11199	+ implement tparm dynamic variables (reported by Xiaodan Tang).
11200
11201980613
11202	+ update man-page for for wattr_set, wattr_get (cf:  980509)
11203	+ correct limits in hashtest, which would cause nonprinting characters
11204	  to be written to large screens.
11205	+ correct configure script, when --without-cxx was specified:  the
11206	  wrong variable was used for cf_cv_type_of_bool.  Compilers up to gcc
11207	  2.8 tolerated the missing 'int'.
11208	+ remove the hardcoded name "gcc" for the GNU Ada compiler.  The
11209	  compiler's name might be something like "egcs" (patch by Juergen
11210	  Pfeifer).
11211	+ correct curs_addch.3x, which implied that echochar could directly
11212	  display control characters (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
11213	+ fix typos in ncurses-intro.html (patch by Sidik Isani
11214	  <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
11215
11216980606
11217	+ add configure test for conflicting use of exception in math.h and
11218	  other headers.
11219	+ minor optimization to 'hash()' function in hashmap.c, reduces its
11220	  time by 10%.
11221	+ correct form of LD_SHARED_OPTS for HP-UX 10.x (patch by Tim Mooney).
11222	+ fix missing quotes for 'print' in MKunctrl.awk script (reported by
11223	  Mihai Budiu <mihaib@gs41.sp.cs.cmu.edu>).
11224	> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
11225	+ correct problem on Solaris (with poll() function) where getch could
11226	  hang indefinitely even if timeout(x) was called.  This turned out to
11227	  be because milliseconds was not updated before 'goto retry' in
11228	  _nc_timed_wait.
11229	+ simplified the function _nc_timed_wait and fixed another bug, which
11230	  was the assumption of !GOOD_SELECT && HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY in *timeleft
11231	  assignment.
11232	+ removed the cycle on EINTR, as it seems to be useless.
11233
11234980530
11235	+ add makefile-rule for test/keynames
11236	+ modify run_tic.sh and shlib to ensure that user's .profile does not
11237	  override the $PATH used to run tic (patch by Tim Mooney).
11238	+ restore LD_SHARED_OPTS to $(LD_SHARED_FLAGS) when linking programs,
11239	  needed for HP-UX shared-library path (recommended by Tim Mooney).
11240	+ remove special case of HP-UX -L options, use +b options to embed
11241	  $(libdir) in the shared libraries (recommended by Tim Mooney).
11242	+ add checks for some possible buffer overflows and unchecked
11243	  malloc/realloc/calloc/strdup return values (patch by Todd C Miller
11244	  <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com>)
11245
11246980523
11247	+ correct maxx/maxy expression for num_columns/num_lines in derwin
11248	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
11249	+ add /usr/share/lib/terminfo and /usr/lib/terminfo as compatibility
11250	  fallbacks to _nc_read_entry(), along with --with-terminfo-dirs
11251	  configure option (suggested by Mike Hopkirk).
11252	+ modify config.guess to recognize Unixware 2.1 and 7 (patch by Mike
11253	  Hopkirk <hops@sco.com>).
11254	+ suppress definition of CC_SHARED_OPTS in LDFLAGS_SHARED in c++
11255	  Makefile.in, since this conflicts when g++ is used with HP-UX
11256	  compiler (reported by Tim Mooney).
11257	+ parenthesize 'strcpy' calls in c++ binding to workaround redefinition
11258	  in some C++ implementations (reported by several people running
11259	  egcs with glibc 2.0.93, analysis by Andreas Jaeger.
11260
11261980516
11262	+ modify write_entry.c so that it will not attempt to link aliases
11263	  with embedded '/', but give only a warning.
11264	+ put -L$(libdir) first when linking programs, except for HP-UX.
11265	+ modify comp_scan.c to handle SVr4 terminfo description for att477,
11266	  which contains a colon in the description field.
11267	+ modify configure script to support SCO osr5.0.5 shared libraries,
11268	  from comp.unix.sco.programmer newsgroup item (Mike Hopkirk).
11269	+ eliminate extra GoTo call in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
11270	  Lukyanov).
11271	+ minor adjustments of const/NCURSES_CONST from IRIX compile.
11272	+ add updates based on esr's 980509 version of terminfo.src.
11273
11274980509
11275	+ correct macros for wattr_set, wattr_get, separate wattrset macro from
11276	  these to preserve behavior that allows attributes to be combined with
11277	  color pair numbers.
11278	+ add configure option --enable-no-padding, to allow environment
11279	  variable $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to eliminate non-mandatory padding,
11280	  thereby making terminal emulators (e.g., for vt100) a little more
11281	  efficient (request by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
11282	+ modify configure script to embed ABI in shared libraries for HP-UX
11283	  10.x (detailed request by Tim Mooney).
11284	+ add test/example of the 'filter()' function.
11285	+ add nxterm and xterm-color terminfo description (request by Cristian
11286	  Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>).
11287	+ modify rxvt terminfo description to clear alternate screen before
11288	  switching back to normal screen, for compatibility with applications
11289	  which use xterm (reported by Manoj Kasichainula <manojk@io.com>).
11290	+ modify linux terminfo description to reset color palette (reported
11291	  by Telford Tendys <telford@eng.uts.edu.au>).
11292	+ correction to doupdate, for case where terminal does not support
11293	  insert/delete character.  The logic did not check that there was a
11294	  difference in alignment of changes to old/new screens before
11295	  repainting the whole non-blank portion of the line.  Modified to fall
11296	  through into logic that reduces by the portion which does not differ
11297	  (reported by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
11298	+ minor performance improvement to wnoutrefresh by moving some
11299	  comparisons out of inner loop.
11300
11301980425
11302	+ modify configure script to substitute NCURSES_CONST in curses.h
11303	+ updated terminfo entries for xterm-xf86-v40, xterm-16color,
11304	  xterm-8bit to correspond to XFree86 3.9Ag.
11305	+ remove restriction that forces ncurses to use setaf/setab if the
11306	  number of colors is greater than 8.  (see 970524 for xterm-16color).
11307	+ change order of -L options (so that $(libdir) is searched first) when
11308	  linking tic and other programs, to workaround HP's linker.
11309	  Otherwise, the -L../lib is embedded when linking against shared
11310	  libraries and the installed program does not run (reported by Ralf
11311	  Hildebrandt).
11312	+ modify configuration of shared libraries on Digital Unix so that
11313	  versioning is embedded in the library, rather than implied by
11314	  links (patch by Tim Mooney).
11315
11316980418
11317	+ modify etip.h to avoid conflict with math.h on HP-UX 9.03 with gcc
11318	  2.8.1 which redefines 'exception' (reported by Ralf Hildebrandt
11319	  <R.Hildebrandt@tu-bs.de>).
11320	+ correct configure tests in CF_SHARED_OPTS which used $CC value to
11321	  check for gcc, rather than autoconf's $GCC value.  This did not
11322	  work properly if the full pathname of the compiler were given
11323	  (reported by Michael Yount <yount@csf.Colorado.edu>).
11324	+ revise check for compiler options to force ANSI mode since repeating
11325	  an option such as -Aa causes HP's compiler to fail on its own headers
11326	  (reported by Clint Olsen <olsenc@ichips.intel.com>).
11327
11328980411
11329	+ ifdef'd has_key() and mcprint() as extended functions.
11330	+ modified several prototypes to correspond with 1997 version of
11331	  X/Open Curses (affects ABI since developers have used attr_get).
11332	+ remove spurious trailing blanks in glibc addon-scripts (patch by
11333	  H.J.Lu).
11334	+ insert a few braces at locations where gcc-2.8.x asks to use them to
11335	  avoid ambiguous else's, use -fpic rather than -fPIC for Linux (patch
11336	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
11337
11338980404
11339	+ split SHLIB_LIST into SHLIB_DIRS/SHLIB_LIST to keep -L options
11340	  before -l to accommodate Solaris' linker (reported by Larry Virden).
11341
11342980328
11343	+ modify lib_color.c to eliminate dependency on orig_colors and
11344	  orig_pair, since SVr4 curses does not require these either, but
11345	  uses them when they are available.
11346	+ add detailed usage-message to infocmp.
11347	+ correct a typo in att6386 entry (a "%?" which was "?").
11348	+ add -f option to infocmp and tic, which formats the terminfo
11349	  if/then/else/endif so that they are readable (with newlines and
11350	  tabs).
11351	+ fixes for glibc addon scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
11352
11353980321
11354	+ revise configure macro CF_SPEED_TYPE so that termcap.h has speed_t
11355	  declared (from Adam J Richter <adam@yggdrasil.com>)
11356	+ remove spurious curs_set() call from leaveok() (J T Conklin).
11357	+ corrected handling leaveok() in doupdate() (patch by Alexander V.
11358	  Lukyanov).
11359	+ improved version of wredrawln (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
11360	+ correct c++/Makefile.in so install target do not have embedded ../lib
11361	  to confuse it (patch by Thomas Graf <graf@essi.fr>).
11362	+ add warning to preinstall rule which checks if the installer would
11363	  overwrite a curses.h or termcap.h that is not derived from ncurses.
11364	  (The recommended configuration for developers who need both is to
11365	  use --disable-overwrite).
11366	+ modify preinstall rule in top-level Makefile to avoid implicit
11367	  use of 'sh', to accommodate Ultrix 4.4 (reported by Joao Palhoto
11368	  Matos <jmatos@math.ist.utl.pt>, patch by Thomas Esser
11369	  <te@informatik.uni-hannover.de>)
11370	+ refine ifdef's for TRACE so that libncurses has fewer dependencies
11371	  on libtinfo when TRACE is disabled.
11372	+ modify configure script so that if the --with-termlib option is used
11373	  to generate a separate terminfo library, we chain it to the ncurses
11374	  library with a "-l" option (reported by Darryl Miles and Ian T.
11375	  Zimmerman).
11376
11377980314
11378	+ correct limits and window in wredrawln function (reported/analysis by
11379	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
11380	+ correct sed expression in configure script for --with-fallback
11381	  option (patch by Jesse Thilo).
11382	+ correct some places in configure script where $enableval was used
11383	  rather than $withval (patch by Darryl Miles <dlm@g7led.demon.co.uk>).
11384	+ modify some man-pages so no '.' or '..' falls between TH and SH
11385	  macros, to accommodate man_db program (reported by Ian T. Zimmerman
11386	  <itz@rahul.net>).
11387	+ terminfo.src 10.2.1 downloaded from ESR's webpage (ESR).
11388	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
11389	+ add copyright notices (and rcs id's) on remaining man-pages.
11390	+ corrected prototypes for slk_* functions, using chtype rather than
11391	  attr_t.
11392	+ implemented the wcolor_set() and slk_color() functions
11393	+ the slk_attr_{set,off,on} functions need an additional void*
11394	  parameter according to XSI.
11395	+ fix the C++ and Ada95 binding as well as the man pages to
11396	  reflect above enhancements.
11397
11398980307
11399	+ use 'stat()' rather than 'access()' in toe.c to check for the
11400	  existence of $HOME/.terminfo, since it may be a file.
11401	+ suppress configure CF_CXX_LIBRARY check if we are not using g++
11402	  2.7.x, since this is not needed with g++ 2.8 or egcs (patch by
11403	  Juergen Pfeifer).
11404	+ turn on hashmap scrolling code by default, intend to remedy defects
11405	  by 4.3 release.
11406	+ minor corrections to terminfo.src changelog.
11407
11408980302	4.2 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
11409	+ correct Florian's email address in ncurses-intro.html
11410	+ terminfo.src 10.2.0 (ESR).
11411
11412980228	pre-release
11413	+ add linux-koi8r replace linux-koi8, which is not KOI8 (patch by
11414	  QingLong <qinglong@Bolizm.ihep.su>).
11415	+ minor documentation fixes (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11416	+ add setlocale() call to ncurses.c (reported by Claes G. Lindblad
11417	  <claesg@algonet.se>).
11418	+ correct sign-extension in lib_insstr.c (reported by Sotiris
11419	  Vassilopoulos <svas@leon.nrcps.ariadne-t.gr>)
11420
11421980221	pre-release
11422	+ regenerated some documentation overlooked in 980214 patch
11423	  (ncurses-intro.doc, curs_outopts.3x.html)
11424	+ minor ifdef change to C++ binding to work with gcc 2.8.0 (patch by
11425	  Juergen Pfeifer).
11426	+ change maintainer's mailing address to florian@gnu.org, change
11427	  tentative mailing list address to bug-ncurses-request@gnu.org (patch
11428	  by Florian La Roche).
11429	+ add definition of $(REL_VERSION) to c++/Makefile.in (reported by Gran
11430	  Hasse <gh@raditex.se>).
11431	+ restore version numbers to Ada95 binding, accidentally deleted by
11432	  copyright patch (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
11433
11434980214	pre-release
11435	+ remove ncurses.lsm from MANIFEST so that it won't be used in FSF
11436	  distributions, though it is retained in development.
11437	+ correct scaling of milliseconds to nanoseconds in lib_napms.c (patch
11438	  by Jeremy Buhler).
11439	+ update mailing-list information (bug-ncurses@gnu.org).
11440	+ update announcement for upcoming 4.2 release.
11441	+ modify -lm test to check for 'sin()' rather than 'floor()'
11442	+ remove spurious commas from terminfo.src descriptions.
11443	+ change copyright notices to Free Software Foundation
11444
11445980207
11446	+ minor fixes for autoconf macros CF_ERRNO, CF_HELP_MESSAGE and
11447	  CF_SIZECHANGE
11448	+ modify Makefile.glibc so that $(objpfx) is defined (H.J.Lu).
11449	+ ifdef-out true-return from _nc_mouse_inline() which depends on
11450	  merge of QNX patch (pending 4.2 release).
11451	> patch to split off seldom-used modules in ncurses (J T Conklin):
11452	  This reduces size by up to 2.6kb.
11453	+ move functionality of _nc_usleep into napms, add configuration case
11454	  for nanosleep().
11455	+ moved wchgat() from lib_addch.c to lib_chgat.c
11456	+ moved clearok(), immedok(), leaveok(), and scrollok() from
11457	  lib_options.c to lib_clearok.c, lib_immedok.c, lib_leaveok.c and
11458	  lib_scrollok.c.
11459	+ moved napms() from lib_kernel.c to lib_napms.c
11460	+ moved echo() and noecho() from lib_raw.c to lib_echo.c
11461	+ moved nl() and nonl() from lib_raw.c to lib_nl.c
11462
11463980131
11464	+ corrected conversion in tclock.c (cf: 971018).
11465	+ updates to Makefile.glibc and associated Linux configure script
11466	  (patch by H.J.Lu).
11467	+ workaround a quoting problem on SunOS with tar-copy.sh
11468	+ correct init_pair() calls in worm.c to work when use_default_colors()
11469	  is not available.
11470	+ include <sys/types.h> in CF_SYS_TIME_SELECT to work with FreeBSD
11471	  2.1.5
11472	+ add ncv capability to FreeBSD console (cons25w), making reverse
11473	  work with color.
11474	+ correct sense of configure-test for sys/time.h inclusion with
11475	  sys/select.h
11476	+ fixes for Ada95/ada_include/Makefile.in to work with --srcdir option.
11477	+ remove unused/obsolete test-program rules from progs/Makefile.in
11478	  (the rules in ncurses/Makefile.in work).
11479	+ remove shared-library loader flags from test/Makefile.in, etc.
11480	+ simplify test/configure.in using new version of autoconf to create
11481	  test/ncurses_cfg.h
11482	+ suppress suffix rules in test/Makefile.in, provide explicit
11483	  dependency to work with --srcdir option and less capable 'make'
11484	  programs.
11485	> adapted from patch for QNX by Xiaodan Tang:
11486	+ initialize %P and %g variables set/used in tparm, and also ensure
11487	  that empty strings don't return a null result from tparam_internal
11488	+ add QNX-specific prototype for vsscanf()
11489	+ move initialization of SP->_keytry from init_keytry() to newterm() to
11490	  avoid resetting it via a keyok() call by mouse_activate().
11491	+ reorganized some functions in lib_mouse() to use case-statements.
11492	+ remove sgr string from qnx terminfo entry since it is reported to
11493	  turn off attributes inconsistently.
11494
11495980124
11496	+ add f/F/b/B commands to ncurses 'b' test to toggle colors, providing
11497	  test for no_color_video.
11498	+ adjusted emx.src to use no_color_video, now works with ncurses 'b'
11499	  and 'k' tests.
11500	+ implement no_color_video attribute, and as a special case, reverse
11501	  colors when the reverse attribute cannot be combined with color.
11502	+ check for empty string in $TERM variable (reported by Brett Michaels
11503	  <brett@xylan.com>).
11504	> from reports by Fred Fish:
11505	+ add configure-test for isascii
11506	+ add configure-test for -lm library.
11507	+ modify CF_BOOL_SIZE to check if C++ bool types are unsigned.
11508	> patches by J.J.G.Ripoll
11509	+ add configure/makefile variables to support .exe extension on
11510	  OS/2 EMX (requires additional autoconf patches).
11511	+ explicitly initialize variables in lib_data.c to appease OS/2 linker
11512	> patches by Fred Fish <fnf@ninemoons.com>
11513	+ misc/Makefile.in (install.data):  Avoid trying to install the CVS
11514	  directory.
11515	+ aclocal.m4 (install.includes):  Remove files in the include directory
11516	  where we are going to install new ones, not the original source
11517	  files.
11518	+ misc/terminfo.src:  Add entry for "beterm", derived from termcap
11519	  distributed with BeOS PR2 using captoinfo.
11520	+ aclocal.m4: Wrap $cf_cv_type_of_bool with quotes (contains space)
11521	+ aclocal.m4: Assume bool types are unsigned.
11522	+ progs/infocmp.c: workaround mwcc 32k function data limit
11523
11524980117
11525	+ correct initialization of color-pair (cf: 970524) in xmas.c, which
11526	  was using only one color-pair for all colors (reported by
11527	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
11528	+ add multithread options for objects build on EMX, for compatibility
11529	  with XFree86.
11530	+ split up an expression in MKlib_gen.sh to work around a problem on
11531	  OS/2 EMX, with 'ash' (patch by J.J.G.Ripoll).
11532	+ change terminfo entries xterm (xterm-xf86-v40), xterm-8bit rs1 to use
11533	  hard reset.
11534	+ rename terminfo entry xterm-xf86-v39t to xterm-xf86-v40
11535	+ remove bold/underline from sun console entries since they're not
11536	  implemented.
11537	+ correct _tracef calls in _tracedump(), which did not separate format
11538	  from parameters.
11539	+ correct getopt string for tic "-o" option, and add it to man-page
11540	  synopsis (reported by Darren Hiebert <darren@hmi.com>).
11541	+ correct typo in panel/Makefile.in, reversed if-statement in scrolling
11542	  optimization (Alexander V.  Lukyanov).
11543	+ test for 'remove()', use 'unlink() if not found (patch by Philippe De
11544	  Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>).
11545	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
11546	+ Improve a feature of the forms driver.  For invisible fields
11547	  (O_VISIBLE off) only the contents but not the attributes are cleared.
11548	  We now clear both.  (Reported by Javier Kohan
11549	  <jkohan@adan.fceia.unr.edu.ar>)
11550	+ The man page form_field_opts.3x makes now clear, that invisible
11551	  fields are also always inactive.
11552	+ adjust ifdef's to compile the C++ binding with the just released
11553	  gcc-2.8.0 c++ and the corresponding new C++ libraries.
11554
11555980110
11556	+ correct "?" command in ncurses.c; it was performing non-screen writes
11557	  while the program was in screen mode.  (It "worked" in 1.9.9e because
11558	  that version sets OPOST and OCRNL incorrectly).
11559	+ return error from functions in lib_kernel, lib_raw and lib_ti if
11560	  cur_term is null, or if underlying I/O fails.
11561	+ amend change to tputs() so that it does not return an error if
11562	  cur_term is null, since some applications depend on being able to use
11563	  tputs without initializing the terminal (reported by Christian J.
11564	  Robinson <infynity@cyberhighway.net>).
11565
11566980103
11567	+ add a copy of emx.src from J.J.G.Ripoll's OS/2 EMX version of ncurses
11568	  1.9.9e, together with fixes/additions for the "ansi" terminal type.
11569	+ add tic check for save/restore cursor if change_scroll_region is
11570	  defined (reference: O'Reilly book).
11571	+ modify read_termcap.c to handle EMX-style pathnames (reported by
11572	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
11573	+ modify lib_raw.c to use EMX's setmode (patch from J.J.G.Ripoll).
11574	  Ripoll says EMX's curses does this.
11575	+ modify _nc_tic_expand() to generate \0 rather than \200.
11576	+ move/revise 'expand()' from dump_entry.c to ncurses library as
11577	  _nc_tic_expand(), for use by tack.
11578	+ decode \a as \007 for terminfo, as per XSI.
11579	+ correct translation of terminfo "^@", to \200, like \0.
11580	+ modify next_char() to treat <cr><lf> the same as <newline>, for
11581	  cross-platform compatibility.
11582	+ use new version of autoconf (971230) to work around limited
11583	  environment on CLIX, due to the way autoconf builds --help message.
11584	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
11585	+ check that the Ada95 binding runs against the correct version of
11586	  ncurses.
11587	+ insert constants about the library version into the main spec-file of
11588	  the Ada95 binding.
11589
11590971227
11591	+ modify open/fopen calls to use binary mode, needed for EMX.
11592	+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.10 mods for OS/2
11593	  EMX (from J.J.G.Ripoll).
11594	+ generated ncurses_cfg.h with patch (971222) to autoconf 2.12 which
11595	  bypasses limited sed buffer length.
11596	> several changes from Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll <worm@arrakis.es>
11597	  (J.J.G.Ripoll) to support OS/2 EMX:
11598	+ add a _scrolling flag to SP, to set when we encounter a terminal
11599	  that simply cannot scroll.
11600	+ corrected logic in _nc_add_to_try(), by ensuring that strings with
11601	  embedded \200 characters are matched.
11602	+ don't assume the host has 'link()' function, for linking terminfo
11603	  entries.
11604
11605971220
11606	+ if there's no ioctl's to support sigwinch handler, disable it.
11607	+ add configure option --disable-ext-funcs to remove the extended
11608	  functions from the build.
11609	+ add configure option --with-termlib to generate the terminfo
11610	  functions as a separate library.
11611	+ add 'sources' rule to facilitate cross-compiling.
11612	+ review/fix order of mostlyclean/clean/distclean rules.
11613	+ modify install-rule for headers to first remove old header, in
11614	  case there was a symbolic link that confuses the install script.
11615	+ corrected substitution for NCURSES_CONST in term.h (cf: 971108)
11616	+ add null pointer checks in wnoutrefresh(), overlap() (patch by
11617	  Xiaodan Tang <xtang@qnx.com>)
11618	+ correct tputs(), which could dereference a null cur_term if invoked
11619	  before terminal is initialized (patch by Christopher Seawood
11620	  <cls@seawood.org>)
11621	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
11622	+ makes better use of "pragma Inline" in the Ada95 binding
11623	+ resynchronizes the generated html manpages
11624
11625971213
11626	+ additional fixes for man-pages section-references
11627	+ add (for debugging) a check for ich/ich1 conflict with smir/rmir
11628	  to tic, etc.
11629	+ remove hpa/vpa from rxvt terminal description because they are not
11630	  implemented correctly, added sgr0.
11631	+ change ncurses 's' to use raw mode, so ^Q works (reported by Rudolf
11632	  Leitgeb <leitgeb@leland.stanford.edu>)
11633
11634971206
11635	+ modify protection when installing libraries to (normally) not
11636	  executable.  HP-UX shared libraries are an exception.
11637	+ add configure check for 'tack'.
11638	+ implement script for renaming section-references in man-page install,
11639	  for Debian configuration.
11640	+ add validity-check for SP in trace code in baudrate() (reported by
11641	  Daniel Weaver).
11642	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov (fixes to match sol25 curses)
11643	+ modify 'overlay()' so that copy applies target window background to
11644	  characters.
11645	+ correct 'mvwin()' so that it does not clear the previous locations.
11646	+ correct lib_acs.c so that 8-bit character is not sign expanded in
11647	  case of wide characters in chtype.
11648	+ correct control-char test in lib_addch.c for use with wide chars
11649	+ use attribute in the chtype when adding a control character in
11650	  lib_addch.c control char was added with current attribute
11651
11652971129
11653	+ save/restore errno in _tracef() function
11654	+ change treatment of initialize_color to use a range of 0..1000
11655	  (recommended by Daniel Weaver).
11656	+ set umask in mkinstalldirs, fixing problems reported by users who
11657	  have set root's umask to 077.
11658	+ correct bug in tic that caused capabilities to be reprinted at the
11659	  end of output when they had embedded comments.
11660	+ rewrote wredrawln to correspond to XSI, and split-out since it is
11661	  not often used (from report by Alexander V. Lukyanov, 970825)
11662	+ rewrote Dan Nelson's change to make it portable, as well as to
11663	  correct logic for handling backslashes.
11664	+ add code to _nc_tgetent() to make it work more like a real tgetent().
11665	  It removes all empty fields, and removes all but the first in a group
11666	  of duplicate caps.  The code was pulled from the BSD libtermcap code
11667	  in termcap.c (patch by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>
11668	+ don't include --enable-widec in the --with-develop configure option,
11669	  since it is not binary-compatible with 4.1 (noted by Alexander V.
11670	  Lukyanov)
11671	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
11672	+ further improvements of the usage of elaboration pragmas in the Ada95
11673	  binding
11674	+ enhanced Ada95 sample to use the user_data mechanism for panels.
11675	+ a fix for the configuration script to make gnat-3.10 the required
11676	  version.
11677	+ resync of the html version of the manpages
11678
11679971122
11680	> fixes/updates for terminfo.src:
11681	+ add vt220-js, pilot, rbcomm, datapoint entries from esr's 27-jun-97
11682	  version.
11683	+ add hds200 description (Walter Skorski)
11684	+ add EMX 0.9b descriptions
11685	+ correct rmso/smso capabilities in wy30-mc and wy50-mc (Daniel Weaver)
11686	+ rename xhpterm back to hpterm.
11687	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
11688	+ Improves the usage of elaboration pragmas for the Ada95 binding.
11689	+ Adds a translation of the test/rain.c into Ada95 to the samples.
11690	  This has been contributed to the project by Laurent Pautet
11691	  (pautet@gnat.com)
11692
11693971115
11694	+ increase MAX_NAME_SIZE to 512 to handle extremely long alias list
11695	  in HP-UX terminfo.
11696	+ correction & simplification of delay computation in tputs, based on
11697	  comments from Daniel Weaver.
11698	+ replace test for SCO with more precise header tests.
11699	+ add configure test for unsigned literals, use in NCURSES_BITS macro.
11700	+ comment-out the -PIC, etc., flags from c++, progs and test makefiles
11701	  since they probably are not needed, and are less efficient (noted by
11702	  Juergen Fluk)
11703	+ add -L$(libdir) to loader options, after -L../lib so that loaders
11704	  that record this information will tend to do the right thing if
11705	  the programs are moved around after installing them (suggested by
11706	  Juergen Fluk).
11707	+ add -R option to loader options for programs for Solaris if the
11708	  --enable-rpath option is specified for the libraries.
11709
11710971112
11711	+ correct installed filename for shared libraries on *BSD (reported by
11712	  Juergen Fluk).
11713
11714971108
11715	+ cleanup logic for deciding when tputs() should call delay_output(),
11716	  based on comments from Daniel Weaver.
11717	+ modified tputs() to avoid use of float.
11718	+ correct use of trailpad in tputs(), which used the wrong variable
11719	  in call to delay_output().
11720	+ correct inverted expression for null-count in delay_output()
11721	  (analysis by Daniel Weaver).
11722	+ apply --enable-rpath option to Solaris (requested by Larry Virden).
11723	+ correct substitution of EXTRA_CFLAGS for gcc 2.6.3
11724	+ correct check for error-return by _nc_tgetent(), which returns 0
11725	  for success.
11726	+ add configure test for BSD 4.4 cgetent() function, modify
11727	  read_termcap.c to use the host's version of that if found, using the
11728	  terminal database on FreeBSD (reported by Peter Wemm).
11729	+ add u8, u9 strings to sun-il description for Daniel Weaver.
11730	+ use NCURSES_CONST in panel's user-pointer.
11731	+ modify edit_cfg.sh and MKterm.h.awk.in to substitute NCURSES_CONST
11732	  so that will work on NeXT.
11733	+ use _nc_set_screen() rather than assignments to SP to fix port to
11734	  NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
11735
11736971101
11737	+ force mandatory padding in bell and flash_screen, as specified in
11738	  XSI.
11739	+ don't allow padding_baud_rate to override mandatory delays (reported
11740	  by Daniel Weaver).
11741	+ modify delay_output() to use _nc_timed_wait() if no baudrate has been
11742	  defined, or if the cur_term pointer is not initialized.  XSI treats
11743	  this as unspecified.  (requested by Daniel Weaver).
11744	+ change getcap-cache ifdef's to eliminate unnecessary chdir/mkdir
11745	  when that feature is not configured.
11746	+ remove _nc_err_abort() calls when write_entry.c finds a directory but
11747	  cannot write to it, e.g., when translating part/all of /etc/termcap
11748	  (reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>).
11749	  (this dates back to 951102 in 1.9.7a).
11750	+ minor ifdef fixes to compile with atac and glibc 2.0.5c
11751	+ add check for -lgen when configuring regexpr.h
11752	+ modify Solaris shared-library option "-d y" to "-dy" to workaround
11753	  incompatibility of gcc 2.7.2 vs vendor's tools.
11754
11755971026
11756	+ correct ifdef's for struct winsize vs struct ttysize in lib_setup.c
11757	  to compile on SCO.
11758	+ remove dangling backslash in panel/Makefile.in
11759	+ modify MKkeyname.awk to work with SCO's nawk, which dumps core in the
11760	  length() function.
11761	+ correct length of allocation in _nc_add_to_try(), to allow for
11762	  trailing null.
11763	+ correct logic in _nc_remove_key(), which was discarding too many
11764	  nodes (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov)
11765
11766971025
11767	+ add definition for $(REL_VERSION) to test/Makefile.in, so *BSD
11768	  shared libraries link properly (see 970524).
11769	+ modify Linux shared-library generation to include library
11770	  dependencies (e.g., -lncurses and -lgpm) in the forms, menu and
11771	  panel libraries (suggested by Juergen Pfeifer).
11772	+ modify configure script to use config.guess and config.sub rather
11773	  than uname, which is unreliable on some systems.
11774	+ updated Makefile.glibc, test-built with glibc 2.0.5c
11775	+ modify keyname() to return values consistent with SVr4 curses (patch
11776	  by Juergen Fluk).
11777	> changes requested by Daniel Weaver:
11778	+ modify delay_output() so that it uses the same output function as
11779	  tputs() if called from that function.
11780	+ move _baudrate from SCREEN to TERMINAL so that low-level use of
11781	  tputs works when SP is not set.
11782	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
11783	+ factor lib_menu and lib_form into smaller modules
11784	+ clean up the interface between panel and SCREEN
11785	+ minor changes to the Ada95 mouse support implementation
11786	+ minor bugfix in C++ binding to ripoff windows
11787	+ fix a few Ada95 html documentation pages
11788
11789971018
11790	+ split-out lib_ungetch.c, make runtime link to resizeterm() to
11791	  decouple those modules from lib_restart.c
11792	+ add xterm-xf86-v39t description to terminfo.src
11793	+ reset SP->_endwin in lib_tstp.c cleanup() function after calling
11794	  endwin() to avoid unnecessary repainting if the application has
11795	  established an atexit function, etc.  Encountered this problem in
11796	  the c++ demo, whose destructors repaint the screen.
11797	+ combine _nc_get_screensize() and resizeterm() calls as new function
11798	  _nc_update_screensize().
11799	+ minor fixes to allow compile with g++ (suggested by Nelson H. F.
11800	  Beebe).
11801	+ implement install-rules for Ada95 makefiles.
11802	+ use screen_lines or MAXLINES as needed where LINES was coded,
11803	  as well as screen_columns for COLS, in the ncurses library.
11804	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
11805	+ modify logic for ripped-off lines to handle several SCREENs.
11806	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
11807	+ factors lib_slk.c into some smaller modules
11808	+ factors panel.c into some smaller modules
11809	+ puts the static information about the current panel stack into the
11810	  SCREEN structure to allow different panel stacks on different
11811	  screens.
11812	+ preliminary fix for an error adjusting LINES to account for
11813	  ripped-off lines.
11814
11815971011
11816	+ move _nc_max_click_interval and other mouse interface items to SCREEN
11817	  struct so that they are associated with a single terminal, and also
11818	  save memory when the application does not need a mouse (roughly 3k vs
11819	  0.5k on Linux).
11820	+ modify mouseinterval() so that a negative parameter queries the
11821	  click-interval without modifying it.
11822	+ modify ncurses 'i' test to work with ncurses' apparent extension from
11823	  SVr4, i.e., allows nocbreak+noecho (analysis by Alexander V.
11824	  Lukyanov).
11825	+ add configure options --with-ada-includes and --with-ada-objects,
11826	  to drive Ada95 binding install (not yet implemented).
11827	+ install C++ binding as -lncurses++ and associated headers with the
11828	  other ncurses headers.
11829	+ fix header uninstall if configure --srcdir is used.
11830	> minor interface changes to support 'tack' program -TD
11831	  (request by Daniel Weaver <danw@znyx.com>).
11832	+ export functions _nc_trans_string() and _nc_msec_cost().
11833	+ add variable _nc_nulls_sent, to record the number of padding
11834	  characters output in delay_output().
11835	+ move tests for generic_type and hard_copy terminals in setupterm()
11836	  to the end of that function so that the library will still be
11837	  initialized, though not generally useful for curses programs.
11838	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
11839	+ modify ClrBottom() to avoid using clr_eos if there is only one line
11840	  to erase.
11841	+ typo in configure --help.
11842	> patch by J T Conklin (with minor resync against Juergen's changes)
11843	+ split-out lib_flash.c from lib_beep.c
11844	+ split-out lib_hline.c and lib_vline.c from lib_box.c
11845	+ split-out lib_wattron.c, lib_wattroff.c from lib_addch.c
11846
11847971005
11848	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
11849	+ correct source/target of c++/edit_cfg.sh
11850
11851971004
11852	+ add color, mouse support to kterm terminfo entry.
11853	+ modify lib_mouse.c to recognize rxvt, kterm, color_xterm also as
11854	  providing "xterm"-style mouse.
11855	+ updated rxvt's terminfo description to correspond to 2.21b, with
11856	  fixes for the acsc (the box1 capability is incorrect, ech1 does not
11857	  work).
11858	+ fix logic in parse_entry.c that discarded acsc when 'synthesizing'
11859	  an entry from equivalents in XENIX or AIX.  This lets ncurses handle
11860	  the distribution copy of rxvt's terminfo.
11861	+ modify acsc capability for linux and linux-koi8 terminfo descriptions
11862	  (from Pavel Roskin <pavel@absolute.spb.su>).
11863	+ corrected definition in curses.h for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I'
11864	  rather than 'i' (see 970802).
11865	+ updated terminfo.src with reformatted acsc entries, and repaired the
11866	  trashed entries with spurious '\' characters that this exposed.
11867	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to reformat acsc entries into canonical
11868	  form (sorted, unique mapping).
11869	+ add configure script to generate c++/etip.h
11870	+ add configure --with-develop option, to enable by default most of the
11871	  experimental options (requested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
11872	+ rename 'deinstall' to 'uninstall', following GNU convention
11873	  (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
11874	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
11875	+ modify tactics 2 and 5 in onscreen_mvcur(), to allow them on the last
11876	  line of the screen, since carriage return will not cause a newline.
11877	+ remove clause from PutCharLR() that would try to use
11878	  eat_newline_glitch since that apparently does not work on some
11879	  terminals (e.g., M$ telnet).
11880	+ correct a limit check in scroll_csr_backward()
11881	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
11882	+ adds dummy implementations of methods above() and below() to the
11883	  NCursesPanel class.
11884	+ fixes missing returncode in NCursesWindow::ripoffline()
11885	+ fixes missing returncode in TestApplication::run() in demo.cc
11886	+ We should at least give a comment in etip.h why it is currently a
11887	  problem to install the C++ binding somewhere
11888	+ makes the WINDOW* argument of wenclose() a const.
11889	+ modifies several of the routines in lib_adabind.c to use a const
11890	  WINDOW* argument.
11891
11892970927
11893	+ add 'deinstall' rules.
11894	+ use explicit assignments in configure --without-progs option to
11895	  work around autoconf bug which doesn't always set $withval.
11896	+ check for ldconfig, don't try to run it if not found.
11897	+ implement simple/unoptimized case in lib_doupdate.c to handle
11898	  display with magic cookie glitch, tested with ncurses.c program.
11899	+ correct missing _tracef in getmouse(), to balance the returnCode
11900	  macro.
11901	+ simplify show_attr() in ncurses.c using termattrs().
11902	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
11903	+ provides missing inlines for mvw[hv]line in cursesw.h of the C++
11904	  binding
11905	+ fixes a typo in a comment of frm_driver.c
11906	+ Enhances Ada95 Makefiles to fulfill the requirement of GNAT-3.10 that
11907	  generics should be compiled.  Proper fixes to the configuration
11908	  scripts are also provided.
11909
11910970920
11911	+ several modifications to the configure script (requested by Ward
11912	  Horner):
11913	  + add configure options --without-progs, to suppress the build of the
11914	    utility programs, e.g., for cross-compiling.
11915	  + add $(HOSTCCFLAGS) and $(HOSTLDFLAGS) symbols to ncurses
11916	    Makefile.in, to simplify setup for cross compiling.
11917	  + add logic in configure script to recognize "--target=vxworks", and
11918	    generate load/install actions for VxWorks objects.
11919	+ move typedef for sigaction_t into SigAction.h to work around problem
11920	  generating lint library.
11921	+ modify fty_regex.c to reflect renaming of ifdef's for regular
11922	  expressions.
11923	+ simplify ifdef in lib_setup.c for TIOCGWINSZ since that symbol may
11924	  reside in <sys/ioctl.h>.
11925	+ merge testcurs.c with version from PDCurses 2.3, clarifying some of
11926	  the more obscure tests, which rely upon color.
11927	+ use macros getbegyx() and getmaxyx() in newdemo.c and testcurs.c
11928	+ modify ncurses.c to use getbegyx() and getmaxyx() macros to cover up
11929	  implementation difference wrt SVr4 curses, allow 's' test to work.
11930	+ add missing endwin() to testscanw.c program (reported by Fausto
11931	  Saporito <fausap@itb.it>).
11932	+ fixes/updates for Makefile.glibc and related files under sysdeps
11933	  (patch by H.J.Lu).
11934	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
11935	+ add checks for null pointers, especially WINDOW's throughout the
11936	  ncurses library.
11937	+ solve a problem with wrong calculation of panel overlapping (reported
11938	  by Ward Horner):
11939	  + make sure that a panel's window isn't a pad.
11940	  + do more error checking in module lib_touch.c
11941	+ missing files for Ada95 binding from the last patch
11942	+ synch. of generated html pages (RCS-Id's were wrong in html files)
11943	+ support for Key_Resize in Ada binding
11944	+ changed documentation style in ./c++/cursesm.h
11945	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
11946	+ undo attempt to do recursive inlining for PutChar(), noting that it
11947	  did not improve timing measurably, but inflated the size of
11948	  lib_doupdate.o
11949
11950970913
11951	+ modify rain.c to use color.
11952	+ correct scroll_csr_backward() to match scroll_csr_forward().
11953	+ minor adjustment to llib-lncurses, to work with Solaris 2.5.1
11954	+ minor fixes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure to reflect renaming
11955	  of configure cache variables in 970906.
11956	+ correct logic involving changes to O_VISIBLE option in
11957	  Synchronize_Options function in frm_driver.c (Tony Hoffmann
11958	  <Tony.Hoffmann@hia.nrc.ca>)
11959	+ add $(HOSTCC) symbol to ncurses Makefile.in, to simplify setup for
11960	  cross compiling (suggested by Chris Johns).
11961	+ modify ifdef in lib_setup.c to only include <sys/ioctl.h> if we can
11962	  use it to support screen-size calculation (reported by Chris Johns).
11963	+ #undef unctrl to avoid symbol conflict in port to RTEMS (reported by
11964	  Chris Johns <cjohns@plessey.com.au>)
11965	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
11966	+ simplified, made minor corrections to Ada95 binding to form
11967	  fieldtype.
11968	+ The C++ binding has been enhanced:
11969	  + Improve NCursesWindow class:  added additional methods to cover
11970	    more ncurses functionality.  Make refresh() and noutrefresh()
11971	    virtual members to allow different implementation in the
11972	    NCursesPanel class.
11973	  + CAUTION:  changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of
11974	    NCursesWindow class.
11975	  + Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a
11976	    reimplementation of refresh() in the base class.  Added
11977	    noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel.
11978	  + Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform
11979	    functionality.
11980	  + Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to etip.h
11981	  + Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration of
11982	    menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of title lines
11983	    and Soft-Label-Keys for an application.
11984	  + Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menu's fieldlist.
11985	  + Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for menus.
11986	  + Enhanced demo.
11987	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_def.c:  take into account that copyarg and
11988	  freearg for a fieldtype may be NULL, makearg must not be NULL
11989	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_type.c:  in set_fieldtype_arg() makearg must
11990	  not be NULL, copyarg and freearg may be NULL.
11991	+ Fixed a bug in form/frm_def.c:  Allow Disconnect_Fields() if it is
11992	  already disconnected.
11993	+ Enhance form/frm_driver.c:  Allow growth of dynamic fields also on
11994	  navigation requests.
11995	+ Fixed a bug in form/fty_enum.c:  wrong position of postincrement in
11996	  case-insensitiva comparison routine.
11997	+ Enhanced form/lib_adabind.c with function _nc_get_field() to get a
11998	  forms field by index.
11999	+ Enhanced menu/m_adabind.c with function _nc_get_item() to get a menus
12000	  item by index.
12001	+ Fixed in curses.h.in:  make chtype argument for pechochar() constant.
12002	  Mark wbkgdset() as implemented, remove wbkgdset macro, because it was
12003	  broken (didn't handle colors correctly).
12004	+ Enhanced lib_mouse.c: added _nc_has_mouse() function
12005	+ Added _nc_has_mouse() prototype to curses.priv.h
12006	+ Modified lib_bkgd.c:  hopefully correct implementation of wbkgdset();
12007	  streamlined implementation of wbkgd()
12008	+ Modified lib_mvwin.c:  Disable move of a pad.  Implement (costly)
12009	  move of subwindows.  Fixed update behavior of movements of regular
12010	  windows.
12011	+ Fixed lib_pad.c:  make chtype argument of pechochar() const.
12012	+ Fixed lib_window.c:  dupwin() is not(!) in every bit a really clone
12013	  of the original.  Subwindows become regular windows by doing a
12014	  dupwin().
12015	+ Improved manpage form_fieldtype.3x
12016	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12017	+ simplify the PutChar() handling of exit_am_mode, because we already
12018	  know that auto_right_margin is true.
12019	+ add a check in PutChar() for ability to insert to the case of
12020	  shifting character to LR corner.
12021	+ in terminal initialization by _nc_screen_resume(), make sure that
12022	  terminal right margin mode is known.
12023	+ move logic that invokes touchline(), or does the equivalent, into
12024	  _nc_scroll_window().
12025	+ modify scrolling logic use of insert/delete line capability, assuming
12026	  that they affect the screen contents only within the current
12027	  scrolling region.
12028	+ modify rain.c to demonstrate SIGWINCH handler.
12029	+ remove logic from getch() that would return an ERR if the application
12030	  called getch() when the cursor was at the lower-right corner of the
12031	  physical screen, and the terminal does not have insert-character
12032	  ability.
12033	+ change view.c so that it breaks out of getch() loop if a KEY_RESIZE
12034	  is read, and modify logic in getch() so this fix will yield the
12035	  desired behavior, i.e., the screen is repainted automatically when
12036	  the terminal window is resized.
12037
12038970906
12039	+ add configure option --enable-sigwinch
12040	+ modify view.c to test KEY_RESIZE logic, with "-r" option.
12041	+ modify testcurs.c to eliminate misleading display wrt cursor type
12042	  by testing if the terminal supports cnorm, civis, cvvis.
12043	+ several fixes for m68k/NeXT 4.0, to bring cur_term, _nc_curr_line and
12044	  _nc_curr_col variables into linked programs:  move these variables,
12045	  making new modules lib_cur_term and trace_buf (reported by Francisco
12046	  Alberto Tomei Torres <fatomei@sandburg.unm.edu>).
12047	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12048	+ add pseudo-functionkey KEY_RESIZE which is returned by getch() when
12049	  the SIGWINCH handler has been called since the last call to
12050	  doupdate().
12051	+ modify lib_twait.c to hide EINTR only if HIDE_EINTR is defined.
12052	+ add SIGWINCH handler to ncurses library which is used if there is no
12053	  application SIGWINCH handler in effect when the screen is
12054	  initialized.
12055	+ make linked list of all SCREEN structures.
12056	+ move curses.h include before definition of SCREEN to use types in
12057	  that structure.
12058	+ correction to ensure that wgetstr uses only a newline to force a
12059	  scroll (970831).
12060
12061970831
12062	+ add experimental configure option --enable-safe-sprintf; the normal
12063	  mode now allocates a buffer as large as the screen for the
12064	  lib_printw.c functions.
12065	+ modify wgetch to refresh screen when reading ungetch'd characters,
12066	  since the application may require this - SVr4 does this.
12067	+ refine treatment of newline in wgetstr to echo only when this would
12068	  force the screen to scroll.
12069
12070970830
12071	+ remove override in wgetstr() that forces keypad(), since SVr4 does
12072	  not do this.
12073	+ correct y-reference for erasure in wgetstr() when a wrap forces a
12074	  scroll.
12075	+ correct x-position in waddch() after a wrap forces a scroll.
12076	+ echo newline in wgetstr(), making testscanw.c scroll properly when
12077	  scanw is done.
12078	+ modify vwscanw() to avoid potential buffer overflow.
12079	+ rewrote lib_printw.c to eliminate fixed-buffer limits.
12080	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12081	+ correct an error in handling cooked mode in wgetch(); processing
12082	  was in the wrong order.
12083	+ simplified logic in wgetch() that handles backspace, etc., by using
12084	  wechochar().
12085	+ correct wechochar() so that it interprets the output character as
12086	  in waddch().
12087	+ modify pechochar() to use prefresh() rather than doupdate(), since
12088	  the latter does not guarantee immediate refresh of the pad.
12089	+ modify pechochar() so that if called with a non-pad WINDOW, will
12090	  invoke wechochar() instead.
12091	+ modify fifo indices to allow fifo to be longer than 127 bytes.
12092
12093970823
12094	+ add xterm-8bit to terminfo.src
12095	+ moved logic for SP->_fifohold inside check_pending() to make it
12096	  work properly when we add calls to that function.
12097	+ ensure that bool functions return only TRUE or FALSE, and TRUE/FALSE
12098	  are assigned to bool values (patch by H.J.Lu).
12099	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12100	+ several fixes to getch:
12101	  1.  Separate cooked and raw keys in fifo
12102	  2.  Fix the case of ungetch'ed KEY_MOUSE
12103	  3.  wrap the code for hiding EINTR with ifdef HIDE_EINTR
12104	  4.  correctly handle input errors (i.e., EINTR) without loss of raw
12105	      keys
12106	  5.  recognize ESC KEY_LEFT and similar
12107	  6.  correctly handle the case of reception of KEY_MOUSE from gpm
12108	+ correct off-by-one indexing error in _nc_mouse_parse(), that caused
12109	  single mouse events (press/release) to be ignored in favor of
12110	  composed events (click).  Improves on a fix from integrating gpm
12111	  support in 961229.
12112	+ add another call to check_pending, before scrolling, for
12113	  line-breakout optimization
12114	+ improve hashmap.c by
12115	  1.  fixed loop condition in grow_hunks()
12116	  2.  not marking lines with offset 0
12117	  3.  fixed condition of 'too far' criteria, thus one-line hunks are
12118	  ignored and two lines interchanged won't pass.
12119	+ rewrote/simplified _nc_scroll_optimize() by separating into two
12120	  passes, forward/backward, looking for chunks moving only in the given
12121	  direction.
12122	+ move logic that emits sgr0 when initializing the screen to
12123	  _nc_screen_init(), now invoked from newterm.
12124	+ move cursor-movement cleanup from endwin() into _nc_mvcur_wrap()
12125	  function and screen cleanup (i.e., color) into _nc_screen_wrap()
12126	  function.
12127	+ add new functions _nc_screen_init(), _nc_screen_resume() and
12128	  _nc_screen_wrap().
12129	+ rename _nc_mvcur_scrolln() to _nc_scrolln().
12130	+ add a copy of acs_map[] to the SCREEN structure, where it can be
12131	  stored/retrieved via set_term().
12132	+ move variables _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok, _nc_windows into the SCREEN
12133	  structure.
12134
12135970816
12136	+ implement experimental _nc_perform_scroll().
12137	+ modify newterm (actually _nc_setupscreen()) to emit an sgr0 when
12138	  initializing the screen, as does SVr4 (reported by Alexander V.
12139	  Lukyanov).
12140	+ added test_progs rule to ncurses/Makefile.
12141	+ modify test/configure.in to check if initscr is already in $LIBS
12142	  before looking for (n)curses library.
12143	+ correct version-number in configure script for OSF1 shared-library
12144	  options (patch by Tim Mooney).
12145	+ add -DNDEBUG to CPPFLAGS for --enable-assertions (as Juergen
12146	  originally patched) since the c++ demo files do not necessarily
12147	  include ncurses_cfg.h
12148	+ supply default value for --enable-assertions option in configure
12149	  script (reported by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu>).
12150	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12151	+ correct/simplify logic of werase(), wclrtoeol() and wclrbot().  See
12152	  example firstlast.c
12153	+ optimize waddch_literal() and waddch_nosync() by factoring out
12154	  common subexpressions.
12155	+ correct sense of NDEBUG ifdef for CHECK_POSITION macro.
12156	+ corrections to render_char(), to make handling of colored blanks
12157	  match SVr4 curses, as well as to correct a bug that xor'd space
12158	  against the background character.
12159	+ replaced hash function with a faster one (timed it)
12160	+ rewrote the hashmap algorithm to be one-pass, this avoids multiple
12161	  cost_effective() calls on the same lines.
12162	+ modified cost_effective() so it is now slightly more precise.
12163	> patches for glibc integration (H.J.Lu):
12164	+ add modules define_key, keyok, name_match, tries
12165	+ add makefile rules for some of the unit tests in ncurses (mvcur,
12166	  captoinfo, hardscroll, hashmap).
12167	+ update Linux configure-script for wide-character definitions.
12168
12169970809
12170	+ modify _tracebits() to show the character size (e.g., CS8).
12171	+ modify tparm() to emit '\200' where the generated string would have a
12172	  null (reported by From:  Ian Dall <Ian.Dall@dsto.defence.gov.au> for
12173	  terminal type ncr7900).
12174	+ modify install process so that ldconfig is not invoked if the
12175	  package is built with an install-prefix.
12176	+ correct test program for chtype size (reported by Tim Mooney).
12177	+ add configure option --disable-scroll-hints, using this to ifdef the
12178	  logic that computes indices for _nc_scroll_optimize().
12179	+ add module ncurses/softscroll.c, to perform single-stage computation
12180	  of scroll indices used in _nc_scroll_optimize().  This is faster than
12181	  the existing scrolling algorithm, but tends to make too-small hunks.
12182	+ eliminate fixed buffer size in _nc_linedump().
12183	+ minor fixes to lib_doupdate.c to add tradeoff between clr_eol (el)
12184	  and clr_bol (el1), refine logic in ClrUpdate() and ClrBottom() (patch
12185	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12186	+ add test/testaddch.c, from a pending patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov.
12187	+ correct processing of "configure --enable-assertions" option (patch
12188	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
12189
12190970802
12191	+ add '-s' (single-step) option too test/hashtest.c, correct an error
12192	  in loop limit for '-f' (footer option), toggle scrollok() when
12193	  writing footer to avoid wrap at lower-right corner.
12194	+ correct behavior of clrtoeol() immediately after wrapping cursor,
12195	  which was not clearing the line at the cursor position (reported by
12196	  Liviu Daia <daia@stoilow.imar.ro>).
12197	+ corrected mapping for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I' rather than 'i'
12198	  (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@tezcat.com>).
12199	+ many corrections to make progs/capconvert work, as well as make it
12200	  reasonably portable and integrated with ncurses 4.1 (reported by Dave
12201	  Furstenau <df@ravine.binary.net>).
12202
12203970726
12204	+ add flag SP->_fifohold, corresponding logic to modify the behavior of
12205	  the line breakout logic so that if the application does not read
12206	  input, refreshes will not be stopped, but only slowed.
12207	+ generate slk_attr_off(), slk_attr_on(), slk_attr_set(), vid_attr(),
12208	  ifdef'd for wide-character support, since ncurses' WA_xxx attribute
12209	  masks are identical with the A_xxx masks.
12210	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to generate ifdef'd functions to support optional
12211	  configuration of wide-characters.
12212	+ modify tset to behave more like SVr4's tset, which does not modify
12213	  the settings of intr, quit or erase unless they are given as command
12214	  options (reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>).
12215	+ modify tset to look in /etc/ttys or /etc/ttytype if the configuration
12216	  does not have getttynam().
12217	+ extend baudrate table in tset.c to match baudrate() function.
12218	+ add table entries for B230400 and B460800 to baudrate() function.
12219	+ improve breakout logic by allowing it before the first line updated,
12220	  which is what SVr4 curses does (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12221	+ correct initialization of vcost in relative_move(), for cursor-down
12222	  case (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12223	> nits gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-3:
12224	+ install symbolic link for intotocap.
12225	+ reference libc directly when making shared libraries.
12226	+ correct renaming of curs_scr_dmp.3x in man_db.renames.
12227	+ guard tgetflag() and other termcap functions against null cur_term
12228	  pointer.
12229
12230970719
12231	+ corrected initial state of software echo (error in 970405, reported
12232	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12233	+ reviewed/added messages to configure script, so that all non-test
12234	  options should be accompanied by a message.
12235	+ add configure check for long filenames, using this to determine if
12236	  it is safe to allow long aliases for terminal descriptions as does
12237	  SVr4.
12238	+ add configure options for widec (wide character), hashmap (both
12239	  experimental).
12240	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
12241	+ hashmap.c - improved by heuristic, so that scroll test works much
12242	  better when csr is not available.
12243	+ hardscroll.c - patched so that it continues to scroll other chunks
12244	  after failure to scroll one.
12245	+ lib_doupdate.c - _nc_mvcur_scrolln extended to handle more cases; csr
12246	  is avoided as it is relative costly.  Fixed wrong coordinates in one
12247	  case and wrong string in TRACE.
12248	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12249	+ modify C++ binding to compile on AIX 4.x with the IBM C-SET++
12250	  compiler.
12251
12252970712
12253	+ remove alternate character set from kterm terminfo entry; it uses the
12254	  shift-out control for a purpose incompatible with curses, i.e., font
12255	  switching.
12256	+ disentangle 'xterm' terminfo entry from some derived entries that
12257	  should be based on xterm-r6 instead.
12258	+ add cbt to xterm-xf86-xv32 terminfo entry; I added the emulation for
12259	  XFree86 3.1.2F, but overlooked its use in terminfo then - T.Dickey.
12260	+ correct logic in lib_mvcur.c that uses back_tab.
12261
12262970706
12263	+ correct change from 970628 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
12264	  contents of curscr are saved in newscr before clearing the screen.
12265	  This is needed to make repainting work with the present logic of
12266	  TransformLine().
12267	+ use napms() rather than sleep() in tset.c to avoid interrupting I/O.
12268
12269970705
12270	+ add limit checks to _nc_read_file_entry() to guard against overflow
12271	  of buffer when reading incompatible terminfo format, e.g, from OSF/1.
12272	+ correct some loop-variable errors in xmc support in lib_doupdate.c
12273	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to add gaps, specified by user, to allow
12274	  investigation of interaction with xmc (magic cookie) code.
12275	+ correct typo in 970524 mods to xmas.c, had omitted empty parameter
12276	  list from has_colors(), which gcc ignores, but SVr4 does not
12277	  (reported by Larry Virden).
12278	+ correct rmso capability in wy50-mc description.
12279	+ add configure option "--enable-hard-tabs", renamed TABS_OK ifdef to
12280	  USE_HARD_TABS.
12281	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12282	+ Add bindings for keyok() and define_key() to the Ada95 packages.
12283	+ Improve man pages menu_post.3x and menu_format.3x
12284	+ Fix the HTML pages in the Ada95/html directory to reflect the above
12285	  changes.
12286
12287970628
12288	+ modify change from 970101 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
12289	  pending changes to both curscr and newscr are flushed properly.
12290	  This fixes a case where the first scrolling operation in nvi would
12291	  cause the screen to be cleared unnecessarily and repainted before
12292	  doing the indexing, i.e., by repeatedly pressing 'j' (reported by
12293	  Juergen Pfeifer).
12294	+ correct error in trans_string() which added embedded newlines in a
12295	  terminfo description to the stored strings.
12296	+ remove spurious newlines from sgr in wyse50 (and several other)
12297	  terminfo descriptions.
12298	+ add configure option for experimental xmc (magic cookie) code,
12299	  "--enable-xmc-glitch".  When disabled (the default), attributes that
12300	  would store a magic cookie are suppressed in vidputs().  The magic
12301	  cookie code is far from workable at this stage; the configuration
12302	  option is a stopgap.
12303	+ move _nc_initscr() from lib_initscr.c to lib_newterm.c
12304	+ correct path for invoking make_keys (a missing "./").
12305
12306970621
12307	+ correct sign-extension problem with "infocmp -e", which corrupted
12308	  acsc values computed for linux fallback data.
12309	+ correct dependency on ncurses/names.c (a missing "./").
12310	+ modify configure script to use '&&' even for cd'ing to existing
12311	  directories to work around broken shell interpreters.
12312	+ correct a loop-limit in _nc_hash_map() (patch by Alexander V.
12313	  Lukyanov).
12314
12315970615
12316	+ restore logic in _nc_scroll_optimize() which marks as touched the
12317	  lines in curscr that are shifted.
12318	+ add new utility 'make_keys' to compute keys.tries as a table rather
12319	  than a series of function calls.
12320	+ correct include-dependency for tic.h used by name_match
12321	+ removed buffer-allocation for name and description from m_item_new.c,
12322	  since this might result in incompatibilities with SVr4.  Also fixed
12323	  the corresponding Ada95 binding module (patch by Juergen Pfeifer,
12324	  report by Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@foxnet.net>)
12325	+ removed the mechanism to timestamp the generated Ada95 sources.  This
12326	  resulted always in generating patches for the HTML doc, even when
12327	  nothing really changed (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12328	+ improve man page mitem_new.3x (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12329
12330970614
12331	+ remove ech capability from rxvt description because it does not work.
12332	+ add missing case logic for infocmp -I option (reported by Lorenzo M.
12333	  Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>)
12334	+ correct old bug in pnoutrefresh() unmasked by fix in 970531; this
12335	  caused glitches in the ncurses 'p' test since the area outside the
12336	  pad was not compared when setting up indices for _nc_scroll_optimize.
12337	+ rewrote tracebits() to workaround misdefinition of TOSTOP on Ultrix
12338	  4.4, as well as to eliminate fixed-size buffer (reported by Chris
12339	  Tanner <tannerc@aecl.ca>)
12340	+ correct prototype for termattrs() as per XPG4 version 2.
12341	+ add placeholder prototypes for color_set(), erasewchar(),
12342	  term_attrs(), wcolor_set() as per XPG4 version 2.
12343	+ correct attribution for progs/progs.priv.h and lib_twait.c
12344	+ improve line-breakout logic by checking based on changed lines rather
12345	  than total lines (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12346	+ correct loop limits for table-lookup of enumerated value in form
12347	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12348	+ improve threshold computation for determining when to call ClrToEOL
12349	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12350
12351970531
12352	+ add configure option --disable-database to force the library to
12353	  use only the fallback data.
12354	+ add configure option --with-fallbacks, to specify list of fallback
12355	  terminal descriptions.
12356	+ add a symbolic link for ncurses.h during install; too many programs
12357	  still assume there's an ncurses.h
12358	+ add new terminfo.src entry for xterm-xf86-v33.
12359	+ restore terminfo.src entry for emu to using setf/setb, since it is
12360	  not, after all, generating ANSI sequences.  Corrected missing comma
12361	  that caused setf/setb entries to merge.
12362	+ modify mousemask() to use keyok() to enable/disable KEY_MOUSE, so
12363	  that applications can disable ncurses' mouse and supply their own
12364	  handler.
12365	+ add extensions keyok() and define_key().  These are designed to allow
12366	  the user's application better control over the use of function keys,
12367	  e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE.  (The define_key idea was from
12368	  a mailing-list thread started by Kenneth Albanowski
12369	  <kjahds@kjahds.com> Nov'1995).
12370	+ restore original behavior in ncurses 'g' test, i.e., explicitly
12371	  set the keypad mode rather than use the default, since it confuses
12372	  people.
12373	+ rewrote the newdemo banner so it's readable (reported by Hugh
12374	  Daniel).
12375	+ tidy up exit from hashtest (reported by Hugh Daniel).
12376	+ restore check for ^Q in ncurses 'g' test broken in 970510 (reported
12377	  by Hugh Daniel)
12378	+ correct tput program, checking return-value of setupterm (patch by
12379	  Florian La Roche).
12380	+ correct logic in pnoutrefresh() and pechochar() functions (reported
12381	  by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf.usc.edu>).  The computation
12382	  of 'wide' date to eric's #283 (1.9.9), and the pechochar bug to the
12383	  original implementation (1.9.6).
12384	+ correct typo in vt102-w terminfo.src entry (patch by Robert Wuest
12385	  <rwuest@sire.vt.com>)
12386	+ move calls of _nc_background() out of various loops, as its return
12387	  value will be the same for the whole window being operated on (patch
12388	  by J T Conklin).
12389	+ add macros getcur[xy] getbeg[xy] getpar[xy], which are defined in
12390	  SVr4 headers (patch by J T Conklin <jtc@NetBSD.ORG>)
12391	+ modify glibc addon-configure scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
12392	+ correct a bug in hashmap.c: the size used for clearing the hashmap
12393	  table was incorrect, causing stack corruption for large values of
12394	  LINES, e.g., >MAXLINES/2 (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12395	+ eric's terminfo 9.13.23 & 9.13.24 changes: replaced minitel-2 entry,
12396	  added MGR, ansi-nt (note: the changes described for 9.13.24 have not
12397	  been applied).
12398	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
12399	+ correct a missing error-return in form_driver.c when wrapping of a
12400	  field is not possible.
12401	+ correct logic in form_driver.c for configurations that do not have
12402	  memccpy() (reported by Sidik Isani <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
12403	+ change several c++ binding functions to inline.
12404	+ modify c++ menu binding to inherit from panels, for proper
12405	  initialization.
12406	+ correct freeing of menu items in c++ binding.
12407	+ modify c++ binding to reflect removal of const from user data pointer
12408	  in forms/menus libraries.
12409
12410970524
12411	+ add description of xterm-16color.
12412	+ modify name of shared-library on *BSD to end with $(REL_VERSION)
12413	  rather than $(ABI_VERSION) to match actual convention on FreeBSD
12414	  (cf: 960713).
12415	+ add OpenBSD to shared-library case, same as NetBSD and FreeBSD
12416	  (reported by Hugh Daniel <hugh@rat.toad.com>).
12417	+ corrected include-dependency in menu/Makefile so that "make install"
12418	  works properly w/o first doing "make".
12419	+ add fallback definition for isascii, used in infocmp.
12420	+ modify xmas to use color, and to exit right away when a key is
12421	  pressed.
12422	+ modify gdc so that the scrolled digits function as described (there
12423	  was no time delay between the stages, and the digits overwrote the
12424	  bounding box without tidying up).
12425	+ modify lib_color.c to use setaf/setab only for the ANSI color codes
12426	  0 through 7.  Using 16 colors requires setf/setb.
12427	+ modify ncurses 'c' test to work with 16 colors, as well as the normal
12428	  8 colors.
12429	+ remove const qualifier from user data pointer in forms and menus
12430	  libraries (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12431	+ rewrote 'waddchnstr()' to avoid using the _nc_waddch_nosync()
12432	  function, thereby not interpreting tabs, etc., as per spec (patch by
12433	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12434
12435970517
12436	+ suppress check for pre-existing ncurses header if the --prefix
12437	  option is specified.
12438	+ add configure options "--with-system-type" and
12439	  "--with-system-release" to assist in checking the generated
12440	  makefiles.
12441	+ add configure option "--enable-rpath" to allow installers to specify
12442	  that programs linked against shared libraries will have their library
12443	  path embedded, allowing installs into nonstandard locations.
12444	+ add flags to OSF1 shared-library options to specify version and
12445	  symbol file (patch by Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>)
12446	+ add missing definition for ABI_VERSION to c++/Makefile.in (reported
12447	  by Satoshi Adachi <adachi@wisdom.aa.ap.titech.ac.jp>).
12448	+ modify link flags to accommodate HP-UX linker which embeds absolute
12449	  pathnames in executables linked against shared libraries (reported by
12450	  Jason Evans <jasone@mrc.uidaho.edu>, solved by Alan Shutko
12451	  <ats@hubert.wustl.edu>).
12452	+ drop unnecessary check for attribute-change in onscreen_mvcur() since
12453	  mvcur() is the only caller within the library, and that check in turn
12454	  is exercised only from lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
12455	  Lukyanov).
12456	+ add 'blank' parameter to _nc_scroll_window() so _nc_mvcur_scrolln()
12457	  can use the background of stdscr as a parameter to that function
12458	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12459	+ moved _nc_mvcur_scrolln() from lib_mvcur.c to lib_doupdate.c, to use
12460	  the latter's internal functions, as well as to eliminate unnecessary
12461	  cursor save/restore operations (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12462	+ omit parameter of ClrUpdate(), since it is called only for newscr,
12463	  further optimized/reduced by using ClearScreen() and TransformLine()
12464	  to get rid of duplicate code (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12465	+ modify scrolling algorithm in _nc_scroll_optimize() to reject hunks
12466	  that are smaller than the distance to be moved (patch by Alexander V.
12467	  Lukyanov).
12468	+ correct a place where the panel library was not ifdef'd in ncurses.c
12469	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
12470	+ documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer)
12471
12472970515	4.1 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
12473	+ re-tag changes since 970505 as 4.1 release.
12474
12475970510
12476	+ modify ncurses 'g' test to allow mouse input
12477	+ modify default xterm description to include mouse.
12478	+ modify configure script to add -Wwrite-strings if gcc warnings are
12479	  enabled while configuring --enable-const (and fixed related
12480	  warnings).
12481	+ add toggle, status display for keypad mode to ncurses 'g' test to
12482	  verify that keypad and scrollok are not inherited from parent window
12483	  during a call to newwin.
12484	+ correction to MKexpanded.sh to make it work when configure --srcdir
12485	  is used (reported by H.J.Lu).
12486	+ revise test for bool-type, ensuring that it checks if builtin.h is
12487	  available before including it, adding test for sizeof(bool) equal
12488	  to sizeof(short), and warning user if the size cannot be determined
12489	  (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12490	+ add files to support configuration of ncurses as an add-on library
12491	  for GNU libc (patch by H.J.Lu <hjl@lucon.org>)
12492
12493970506
12494	+ correct buffer overrun in lib_traceatr.c
12495	+ modify change to lib_vidattr.c to avoid redundant orig_pair.
12496	+ turn on 'echo()' in hanoi.c, since it is initially off.
12497	+ rename local 'errno' variable in etip.h to avoid conflict with global
12498	  (H.J.Lu).
12499	+ modify configure script to cache LD, AR, AR_OPTS (patch by H.J.Lu
12500	  <hjl@lucon.org>)
12501
12502970505	4.1 pre-release
12503	+ regenerate the misc directory html dumps without the link list, which
12504	  is not useful.
12505	+ correct dependency in form directory makefile which caused
12506	  unnecessary recompiles.
12507	+ correct substitution for ABI_VERSION in test-makefile
12508	+ modify install rules for shared-library targets to remove the target
12509	  before installing, since some install programs do not properly handle
12510	  overwrite of symbolic links.
12511	+ change order of top-level targets so that 'include' immediate
12512	  precedes the 'ncurses' directory, reducing the time between new
12513	  headers and new libraries (requested by Larry Virden).
12514	+ modify lib_vidattr.c so that colors are turned off only before
12515	  modifying other attributes, turned on after others.  This makes the
12516	  hanoi.c program display correctly on FreeBSD console.
12517	+ modify debug code in panel library to print user-data addresses
12518	  rather than the strings which they (may) point to.
12519	+ add check to ensure that C++ binding and demo are not built with g++
12520	  versions below 2.7, since the binding uses templates.
12521	+ modify c++ binding and demo to build and run with SGI's c++ compiler.
12522	  (It also compiles with the Sun SparcWorks compiler, but the demo does
12523	  not link, due to a vtbl problem).
12524	+ corrections to demo.cc, to fix out-of-scope variables (Juergen
12525	  Pfeifer).
12526
12527970503
12528	+ correct memory leak in _nc_trace_buf().
12529	+ add configure test for regexpr.h, for Unixware 1.x.
12530	+ correct missing "./" prefixing names of generated files in ncurses
12531	  directory.
12532	+ use single-quotes in configure scripts assignments for MK_SHARED_LIB
12533	  to workaround shell bug on FreeBSD 2.1.5
12534	+ remove tabs from intermediate #define's for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF
12535	  that caused incorrect result in ncurses_cfg.h
12536	+ correct initialization in lib_trace.c, which omitted version info.
12537	+ remove ech, el1 attributes from cons25w description; they appear to
12538	  malfunction in FreeBSD 2.1.5
12539	+ correct color attributes in terminfo.src and lib_color.c to match
12540	  SVr4 behavior by interchanging codes 1,4, 3,6 in the setf/setb
12541	  capabilities.
12542	+ use curs_set() rather than checks via tigetstr() for test programs
12543	  that hide the cursor: firework, rain, worm.
12544	+ ensure that if the terminal lacks change_scroll_region, parm_index
12545	  and parm_rindex are used only to scroll the whole screen (patch by
12546	  Peter Wemm).
12547	+ correct curs_set() logic, which did not return ERR if the requested
12548	  attributes did not exist, nor did it assume an unknown initial state
12549	  for the cursor (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12550	+ combine IDcTransformLine and NoIDcTransformLine to new TransformLine
12551	  function in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12552	+ correct hashmap.c, which did not update index information (patch by
12553	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
12554	+ fixes for C++ binding and demo (see c++/NEWS) (Juergen Pfeifer).
12555	+ correct index in lib_instr.c (Juergen Pfeifer).
12556	+ correct typo in 970426 patch from Tom's cleanup of lib_overlay.c
12557	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
12558
12559970426
12560	+ corrected cost computation in PutRange(), which was using
12561	  milliseconds compared to characters by adding two new members to the
12562	  SCREEN struct, _hpa_ch_cost and _cup_ch_cost.
12563	+ drop ncurses/lib_unctrl.c, add ncurses/MKunctrl.awk to generate a
12564	  const array of strings (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).  The
12565	  original suggestion in 970118 used a perl script.
12566	+ rewrote ncurses 'b' test to better exercise magic-cookie (xmc), as
12567	  well as noting the attributes that are not supported by a terminal.
12568	+ trace the computation of cost values in lib_mvcur.c
12569	+ modify _nc_visbuf() to use octal rather than hex, corrected sign
12570	  extension bug in that function that caused buffer overflow.
12571	+ modify trace in lib_acs.c to use _nc_visbuf().
12572	+ suppress trace within _traceattr2().
12573	+ correct logic of _tracechtype2(), which did not account for repeats
12574	  or redefinition within an acsc string.
12575	+ modify debug-library version baudrate() to use environment variable
12576	  $BAUDRATE to override speed computation.  This is needed for
12577	  regression testing.
12578	+ correct problems shown by "weblint -pedantic".
12579	+ update mailing-list information (now ncurses@bsdi.com).
12580
12581970419
12582	+ Improve form_field_validation.3x manpage to better describe the
12583	  precision parameter for TYPE_NUMERIC and TYPE_INTEGER.  Provide more
12584	  precise information how the range checking can be avoided.  (patch by
12585	  Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan Henderson)
12586	+ change type of min/max value of form types TYPE_INTEGER to long to
12587	  match SVr4 documentation.
12588	+ set the form window to stdscr in set_form_win() so that form_win()
12589	  won't return null (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan
12590	  Henderson <bryanh@giraffe.netgate.net>).
12591
12592970412
12593	+ corrected ifdef'ing of inline (cf: 970321) for TRACE vs C++.
12594	+ corrected toggle_attr_off() macro (patch by Andries Brouwer).
12595	+ modify treatment of empty token in $MANPATH to /usr/man (reported by
12596	  <Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>)
12597	+ modify traces that record functions-called so that chtype and attr_t
12598	  values are expressed symbolically, to simplify reuse of generated
12599	  test-scripts on SVr4 regression testing.
12600	+ add new trace functions _traceattr2() and _tracechtype2()
12601
12602970405
12603	+ add configure option --enable-const, to support the use of 'const'
12604	  where XSI should have, but did not, specify.  This defines
12605	  NCURSES_CONST, which is an empty token otherwise, for strict
12606	  compatibility.
12607	+ make processing of configure options more verbose by echoing the
12608	  --enable/--with values.
12609	+ add configure option --enable-big-core
12610	+ set initial state of software echo off as per XSI.
12611	+ check for C++ builtin.h header
12612	+ correct computation of absolute-path for $INSTALL that dropped "-c"
12613	  parameter from the expression.
12614	+ rename config.h to ncurses_cfg.h to avoid naming-conflict when
12615	  ncurses is integrated into larger systems (adapted from diffs by
12616	  H.J.Lu for libc).
12617	+ correct inequality in lib_doupdate.c that caused a single-char to not
12618	  be updated when the char on the right-margin was not blank, idcok()
12619	  was true (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov (in 970124), reported
12620	  by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu> in 970329).
12621	+ modify 'clean' rule in include/Makefile so that files created by
12622	  configure script are removed in 'distclean' rule instead.
12623
12624970328
12625	+ correct array limit in tparam_internal(), add case to interpret "%x"
12626	  (patch by Andreas Schwab)
12627	+ rewrote number-parsing in ncurses.c 'd' test; it did not reset the
12628	  value properly when non-numeric characters were given (reported by
12629	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
12630
12631970321
12632	+ move definition of __INTERNAL_CAPS_VISIBLE before include for
12633	  progs.priv.h (patch by David MacKenzie).
12634	+ add configuration summary, reordered check for default include
12635	  directory to better accommodate a case where installer is configuring
12636	  a second copy of ncurses (reported by Klaus Weide
12637	  <kweide@tezcat.com>)
12638	+ moved the #define for 'inline' as an empty token from the
12639	  $(CFLAGS_DEBUG) symbol into config.h, to avoid redefinition warning
12640	  (reported by Ward Horner).
12641	+ modify test for bool builtin type to use 'unsigned' rather than
12642	  'unknown' when cross-compiling (reported by Ward Horner).
12643
12644970315
12645	+ add header dependencies so that "make install.libs" will succeed
12646	  even if "make all" is not done first.
12647	+ moved some macros from lib_doupdate.c to curses.priv.h to use in
12648	  expanded functions with ATAC.
12649	+ correct implementation of lib_instr.c; both XSI and SVr4 agree that
12650	  the winnstr functions can return more characters than will fit on one
12651	  line.
12652
12653970308
12654	+ modify script that generates lib_gen.c to support traces of called &
12655	  return.
12656	+ add new configure option "--disable-macros", for testing calls within
12657	  lib_gen.c
12658	+ corrected logic that screens level-checking of called/return traces.
12659
12660970301
12661	+ use new configure macro NC_SUBST to replace AC_PATH_PROG, better
12662	  addressing request by Ward Horner.
12663	+ check for cross-compiling before trying to invoke the autoconf
12664	  AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED macro (reported by Ward Horner)
12665	+ correct/simplify loop in _nc_visbuf(), 970201 changes omitted
12666	  a pointer-increment.
12667	+ eliminate obsolete symbol SHARED_ABI from dist.mk (noted by
12668	  Florian La Roche).
12669
12670970215
12671	+ add configure option --enable-expanded, together with code that
12672	  implements an expanded form of certain complex macros, for testing
12673	  with ATAC.
12674	+ disable CHECK_POSITION unless --with-assertions is configured
12675	  (Alexander V Lukyanov pointed out that this is redundant).
12676	+ use keyname() to show traced chtype values where applicable rather
12677	  than _tracechar(), which truncates the value to 8-bits.
12678	+ minor fixes to TRACE_ICALLS, added T_CREATE, TRACE_CCALLS macros.
12679	+ modify makefiles in progs and test directories to avoid using C
12680	  preprocessor options on link commands (reported by Ward Horner)
12681	+ correct ifdef/include-order for nc_alloc.h vs lib_freeall.c (reported
12682	  by Ward Horner)
12683	+ modify ifdef's to use configure-defined symbols consistently
12684	  (reported by Ward Horner)
12685	+ add/use new makefile symbols AR, AR_OPTS and LD to assist in non-UNIX
12686	  ports (reported by Ward Horner <whorner@tsi-telsys.com>)
12687	+ rename struct try to struct tries, to avoid name conflict with C++
12688	  (reported by Gary Johnson).
12689	+ modify worm.c to hide cursor while running.
12690	+ add -Wcast-qual to gcc warnings, fix accordingly.
12691	+ use PutChar rather than PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to properly handle
12692	  wrapping (Alexander V Lukyanov).
12693	+ correct spurious echoing of input in hanoi.c from eric's #291 & #292
12694	  patches (reported by Vernon C. Hoxie <vern@zebra.alphacdc.com>).
12695	+ extend IRIX configuration to IRIX64
12696	+ supply missing install.libs rule needed after restructuring
12697	  test/Makefile.in
12698
12699970208
12700	+ modify "make mostlyclean" to leave automatically-generated source
12701	  in the ncurses directory, for use in cross-compiles.
12702	+ autogenerated object-dependencies for test directory
12703	+ add configure option --with-rcs-ids
12704	+ modify configuration scripts to generate major/minor/patch versions
12705	  (suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12706	+ supply missing va_end's in lib_scanw.c
12707	+ use stream I/O for trace-output, to eliminate fixed-size buffer
12708	+ add TRACE_ICALLS definition/support to lib_trace.c
12709	+ modify Ada95 binding to work with GNAT 3.09 (Juergen Pfeifer).
12710
12711970201
12712	+ add/modify traces for called/return values to simplify extraction
12713	  for test scripts.
12714	+ changed _nc_visbuf to quote its result, and to dynamically allocate
12715	  the returned buffer.
12716	+ invoke ldconfig after installing shared library
12717	+ modify install so that overwrite applies to shared library -lcurses
12718	  in preference to static library (reported by Zeyd M Ben-Halim 960928).
12719	+ correct missing ';' in 961221 mod to overwrite optional use of $(LN_S)
12720	  symbol.
12721	+ fixes to allow "make install" to work without first doing a "make
12722	  all" (suggested by Larry Virden).
12723
12724970125
12725	+ correct order of #ifdef for TABS_OK.
12726	+ instrumented toe.c to test memory-leaks.
12727	+ correct memory-deallocation in toe.c (patch by Jesse Thilo).
12728	+ include <sys/types.h> in configuration test for regex.h (patch by
12729	  Andreas Schwab)
12730	+ make infocmp recognize -I option, for SVr4 compatibility (reported by
12731	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
12732
12733970118
12734	+ add extension 'use_default_colors()', modified test applications that
12735	  use default background (firework, gdc, hanoi, knight, worm) to
12736	  demonstrate.
12737	+ correct some limit checks in lib_doupdate.c exposed while running
12738	  worm.
12739	+ use typeCalloc macro for readability.
12740	+ add/use definition for CONST to accommodate testing with Solaris
12741	  (SVr4) curses, which doesn't use 'const' in its prototypes.
12742	+ modify ifdef's in test/hashtest.c and test/view.c to compile with
12743	  Solaris curses.
12744	+ modify _tracedump() to pad colors & attrs lines to match change
12745	  in 970101 showing first/last changes.
12746	+ corrected location of terminating null on dynamically allocated forms
12747	  fields (patch by Per Foreby).
12748
12749970111
12750	+ added headers to make view.c compile on SCO with the resizeterm()
12751	  code (i.e., struct winsize) - though this compiles, I don't have a
12752	  suitable test configuration since SIGWINCH doesn't pass my network to
12753	  that machine - T.Dickey.
12754	+ update test/configure.in to supply some default substitutions.
12755	+ modify configure script to add -lncurses after -lgpm to fix problem
12756	  linking against static libraries.
12757	+ add a missing noraw() to test/ncurses.c (places noted by Jeremy
12758	  Buhler)
12759	+ add a missing wclear() to test/testcurs.c (patch by Jeremy Buhler
12760	  <jbuhler@cs.washington.edu>)
12761	+ modify headers to accommodate compilers that don't allow duplicate
12762	  "#define" lines for NCURSES_VERSION (reported by Larry W. Virden
12763	  <lvirden@cas.org>)
12764	+ fix formatting glitch in curs_getch.3x (patch by Jesse Thilo).
12765	+ modify lib_doupdate to make el, el1 and ed optimization use the
12766	  can_clear_with macro, and change EmitRange to allow leaving cursor at
12767	  the middle of interval, rather than always at the end (patch by
12768	  Alexander V Lukyanov).  This was originally 960929, resync 970106.
12769
12770970104
12771	+ workaround defect in autoconf 2.12 (which terminates configuration
12772	  if no C++ compiler is found) by adding an option --without-cxx.
12773	+ modify several man-pages to use tbl, where .nf/.fi was used (reported
12774	  by Jesse Thilo).
12775	+ correct font-codes in some man-pages (patch by Jesse Thilo
12776	  <Jesse.Thilo@pobox.com>)
12777	+ use configure script's knowledge of existence of g++ library for the
12778	  c++ Makefile (reported by Paul Jackson).
12779	+ correct misleading description of --datadir configuration option
12780	  (reported by Paul Jackson <pj@sam.engr.sgi.com>)
12781
12782970101
12783	+ several corrections to _nc_mvcur_scrolln(), prompted by a bug report
12784	  from Peter Wemm:
12785	> the logic for non_dest_scroll_region was interchanged between the
12786	  forward & reverse scrolling cases.
12787	> multiple returns from the function allowed certain conditions to do
12788	  part of an operation before discovering that it couldn't be
12789	  completed, returning an error without restoring the cursor.
12790	> some returns were ERR, where the function had completed the
12791	  operation, because the insert/delete line logic was improperly
12792	  tested (this was probably the case Peter saw).
12793	> contrary to comments, some scrolling cases were tested after the
12794	  insert/delete line method.
12795	+ modify _tracedump() to show first/last changes.
12796	+ modify param of ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c to 'newscr', fixes
12797	  refresh problem (reported by Peter Wemm) that caused nvi to not show
12798	  result of ":r !ls" until a ^L was typed.
12799
12800961229	(internal alpha)
12801	+ correct some of the writable-strings warnings (reported by Gary
12802	  Johnson <gjohnson@season.com>).  Note that most of the remaining ones
12803	  are part of the XSI specification, and can't be "fixed".
12804	+ improve include-dependencies in form, menu, panel directories.
12805	+ correct logic of delay_output(), which would return early if
12806	  there is data on stdin.
12807	+ modify interface & logic of _nc_timed_wait() to support 2 file
12808	  descriptors, needed for GPM.
12809	+ integrate patch by Andrew Kuchling <amk@magnet.com> for GPM (mouse)
12810	  support, correcting logic in wgetch() and _nc_mouse_parse() which
12811	  prevented patch from working properly -TD
12812	+ improve performance of panel algorithm (Juergen Pfeifer 961203).
12813	+ strip RCS id's from generated .html files in Ada95 subtree.
12814	+ resync with generated .html files (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
12815	+ terminfo.src 10.1.0 (ESR).
12816
12817961224	4.0 release
12818	+ release as 4.0 to accommodate Linux ld.so.1.8.5
12819	+ correct syntax/spelling, regenerated .doc files from .html using
12820	  lynx 2.5
12821	+ refined forms/menus makefiles (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
12822
12823961221	- snapshot
12824	+ remove logic in read_entry.c that attempts to refine errno by using
12825	  'access()' for the directory (from patch by Florian La Roche).
12826	+ correct configure test/substitution that inhibits generating
12827	  include-path to /usr/include if gcc is used (reported by Florian La
12828	  Roche).
12829	+ modify setupterm() to allocate new TERMINAL for each call, just as
12830	  solaris' curses does (Alexander V Lukyanov 960829).
12831	+ corrected memory leaks in read_entry.c
12832	+ add configure options --with-dbmalloc, --with-dmalloc, and
12833	  --disable-leaks, tested by instrumenting infocmp, ncurses programs.
12834	+ move #include's for stdlib.h and string.h to *.priv.h to accommodate
12835	  use of dbmalloc.
12836	+ modify use of $(LN_S) to follow recommendation in autoconf 2.12,
12837	  i.e., set current directory before linking.
12838	+ split-out panel.priv.h, improve dependencies for forms, menus
12839	  (Juergen Pfeifer 961204).
12840	+ modify _nc_freewin() to reset globals curscr/newscr/stdscr when
12841	  freeing the corresponding WINDOW (found using Purify).
12842	+ modify delwin() to return ERR if the window to be deleted has
12843	  subwindows, needed as a side-effect of resizeterm() (found using
12844	  Purify).  Tested and found that SVr4 curses behaves this way.
12845	+ implement logic for _nc_freeall(), bringing stub up to date.
12846
12847961215
12848	+ modify wbkgd() so that it doesn't set nulls in the rendered text,
12849	  even if its argument doesn't specify a character (fixes test case by
12850	  Juergen Pfeifer for bug-report).
12851	+ set window-attributes in wbkgd(), to simplify comparison against
12852	  Solaris curses, which does this.
12853
12854961214	- snapshot
12855	+ replace most constants in ncurses 'o' test by expressions, making it
12856	  work with wider range of screen sizes.
12857	+ add options to ncurses.c to specify 'e' test softkey format, and the
12858	  number of header/footer lines to rip-off.
12859	+ add ^R (repaint after resize), ^L (refresh) commands to ncurses 'p'
12860	  test.
12861	+ add shell-out (!) command to ncurses 'p' test to allow test of
12862	  resize between endwin/refresh.
12863	+ correct line-wrap case in mvcur() by emitting carriage return,
12864	  overlooked in 960928, but needed due to SVr4 compatibility changes to
12865	  terminal modes in 960907.
12866	+ correct logic in wresize that causes new lines to be allocated,
12867	  broken for the special case of increasing rows only in 960907's fix
12868	  for subwindows.
12869	+ modify configure script to generate $(LDFLAGS) with -L and -l options
12870	  in preference to explicit library filenames.  (NOTE: this may
12871	  require further amending, since I vaguely recall a dynamic loader
12872	  that did not work properly without the full names, but it should be
12873	  handled as an exception to the rule, since some linkers do bulk
12874	  inclusion of libraries when given the full name - T.Dickey).
12875	+ modify configure script to allow user-supplied $CFLAGS to set the
12876	  debug-option in all libraries (requested by lots of people) -TD
12877	+ use return consistently from main(), rather than exit (reported by
12878	  Florian La Roche).
12879	+ add --enable-getcap-cache option to configure, normally disabled
12880	  (requested by Florian La Roche).
12881	+ make configure test for gettimeofday() and possibly -lbsd more
12882	  efficient (requested by Florian La Roche <florian@knorke.saar.de>)
12883	+ minor adjustments to Ada95 binding (patches by Juergen Pfeifer)
12884	+ correct attributes after emitting orig_pair in lib_vidattr.c (patch
12885	  by Alexander V Lukyanov).
12886
12887961208
12888	+ corrected README wrt Ada95 (Juergen Pfeifer)
12889
12890961207	- snapshot
12891	+ integrate resizeterm() into doupdate(), so that if screen size
12892	  changes between endwin/refresh, ncurses will resize windows to fit
12893	  (this needs additional testing with pads and softkeys).
12894	+ add, for memory-leak testing, _nc_freeall() entrypoint to free all
12895	  data used in ncurses library.
12896	+ initialize _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok statically to resolve discrepancy
12897	  between initscr() and newwin() initialization (reported by
12898	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
12899	+ test built VERSION=4.0, SHARED_ABI=4 with Linux ld.so.1.8.5
12900	  (set beta versions to those values -- NOTE that subsequent pre-4.0
12901	  beta may not be interchangeable).
12902	+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.12
12903
12904961130	1.9.9g release
12905	+ add copyright notices to configuration scripts (written by Thomas
12906	  Dickey).
12907
12908961127
12909	> patch, mostly for panel (Juergen Pfeifer):
12910	+ cosmetic improvement for a few routines in the ncurses core library
12911	  to avoid warning messages.
12912	+ the panel overlap detection was broken
12913	+ the panel_window() function was not fool-proof.
12914	+ Some inlining...
12915	+ Cosmetic changes (also to avoid warning messages when compiling with
12916	  -DTRACE).
12917
12918961126
12919	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
12920	+ eliminates warning messages for the compile of libform.
12921	+ inserts Per Foreby's new field type TYPE_IPV4 into libform.
12922	+ Updates man page and the Ada95 binding to reflect this.
12923	+ Improves inlining in libmenu and libform.
12924
12925961120
12926	+ improve the use of the "const" qualifier in the
12927	  panel library (Juergen Pfeifer)
12928	+ change set_panel_userptr() and panel_userptr() to use void*
12929	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
12930
12931961119
12932	+ change ABI to 3.4
12933	+ package with 961119 version of Ada95 binding (fixes for gnat-3.07).
12934	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
12935	+ correct initialization of the stdscr pseudo panel in panel library
12936	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
12937	+ use MODULE_ID (rcs keywords) in forms and menus libraries (Juergen
12938	  Pfeifer).
12939	> patch #324 (ESR):
12940	+ typo in curs_termcap man page (reported by Hendrik Reichel
12941	  <106065.2344@compuserve.com>)
12942	+ change default xterm entry to xterm-r6.
12943	+ add entry for color_xterm
12944
12945961116	- snapshot
12946	+ lint found several functions that had only #define implementations
12947	  (e.g., attr_off), modified curses.h.in to generate them as per XSI
12948	  Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
12949	+ add check in infocmp.c to guard against string compare of
12950	  CANCELLED_STRING values.
12951	+ modify firework.c, rain.c to hide cursor while running.
12952	+ correct missing va_end in lib_tparm.c
12953	+ modify hanoi.c to work on non-color terminals, and to use timing
12954	  delays when in autoplay mode.
12955	+ correct 'echochar()' to refresh immediately (reported by Adrian
12956	  Garside <94ajg2@eng.cam.ac.uk>)
12957	> patch #322 (ESR):
12958	+ reorganize terminfo.src entries for xterm.
12959
12960961109	- snapshot
12961	+ corrected error in line-breakout logic (lib_doupdate.c)
12962	+ modified newdemo to use wgetch(win) rather than getch() to eliminate
12963	  a spurious clear-screen.
12964	+ corrected ifdef's for 'poll()' configuration.
12965	+ added modules to ncurses, form, menu for Ada95 binding (Juergen
12966	  Pfeifer).
12967	+ modify set_field_buffer() to allow assignment of string longer than
12968	  the initial buffer length, and to return the complete string rather
12969	  than only the initial size (Juergen Pfeifer and Per Foreby
12970	  <perf@efd.lth.se>).
12971
12972961102	- snapshot
12973	+ configure for 'poll()' in preference to 'select()', since older
12974	  systems are more likely to have a broken 'select()'.
12975	+ modified render_char() to avoid OR'ing colors.
12976	+ minor fixes to testcurs.c, newdemo.c test programs: ifdef'd out the
12977	  resize test, use wbkgd and corrected box() parameters.
12978	+ make flushinp() test work in ncurses.c by using napms() instead of
12979	  sleep().
12980	+ undo ESR's changes to xterm-x11r6 (it no longer matched the X11R6.1
12981	  distribution, as stated)
12982	+ terminfo 9.13.18 resync (ESR)
12983	+ check for getenv("HOME") returning null (ESR).
12984	+ change buffer used to decode xterm-mouse commands to unsigned to
12985	  handle displays wider than 128 chars (Juergen Pfeifer).
12986	+ correct typo curs_outopts.3x (Juergen Pfeifer).
12987	+ correct limit-checking in wenclose() (Juergen Pfeifer).
12988	+ correction to Peter Wemm's newwin change (Thomas Fehr
12989	  <fehr@suse.de>).
12990	+ corrections to logic that combines colors and attributes; they must
12991	  not be OR'd (Juergen Pfeifer, extending from report/patch by Rick
12992	  Marshall).
12993
12994961026	- snapshot
12995	+ reset flags in 'getwin()' that might cause refresh to attempt to
12996	  manipulate the non-existent parent of a window that is read from a
12997	  file (lib_screen.c).
12998	+ restructure _nc_timed_wait() to log more information, and to try to
12999	  recover from badly-behaved 'select()' calls (still testing this).
13000	+ move define for GOOD_SELECT into configure script.
13001	+ corrected extra '\' character inserted before ',' in comp_scan.c
13002	+ corrected expansion of %-format characters in dump_entry.c; some were
13003	  rendered as octal constants.
13004	+ modify dump_entry.c to make terminfo output more readable and like
13005	  SVr4, by using "\s" for spaces (leading/trailing only), "\," for
13006	  comma, "\^" and "\:" as well.
13007	+ corrected some memory leaks in ncurses.c, and a minor logic error
13008	  in the top-level command-parser.
13009	+ correction for label format 4 (PC style with info line), a
13010	  slk_clear(), slk_restore() sequence didn't redraw the info line
13011	  (Juergen Pfeifer).
13012	+ modified the slk window (if simulated) to inherit the background and
13013	  default character attributes from stdscr (Juergen Pfeifer).
13014	+ corrected limit-check in set_top_row (Juergen Pfeifer).
13015
13016961019	- snapshot
13017	+ correct loop-limit in wnoutrefresh(), bug exposed during pipe-testing
13018	  had '.lastchar' entry one beyond '._maxx'.
13019	+ modify ncurses test-program to work with data piped to it.
13020	+ corrected pathname computation in run_tic.sh, removing extra "../"
13021	  (reported by Tim Mooney).
13022	+ modified configure script to use previous install's location for
13023	  curses.h
13024	+ added NetBSD and FreeBSD to platforms that use --prefix=/usr as
13025	  a default.
13026
13027961013
13028	+ revised xterm terminfo descriptions to reflect the several versions
13029	  that are available.
13030	+ corrected a pointer reference in dump_entry.c that didn't test if
13031	  the pointer was -1.
13032
13033961005	- snapshot
13034	+ correct _nc_mvcur_scrolln for terminals w/o scrolling region.
13035	+ add -x option to hashtest to control whether it allows writes to the
13036	  lower-right corner.
13037	+ ifdef'd (NCURSES_TEST) the logic for _nc_optimize_enable to make it
13038	  simpler to construct tests (for double-check of _nc_hash_map tests).
13039	+ correct ifdef's for c++ in curses.h
13040	+ change default xterm type to xterm-x11r6.
13041	+ correct quoting in configure that made man-pages installed with
13042	  $datadir instead of actual terminfo path.
13043	+ correct whitespace in include/Caps, which caused kf11, clr_eol and
13044	  clr_end to be omitted from terminfo.5
13045	+ fix memory leaks in delscreen() (adapted from Alexander V Lukyanov).
13046	+ improve appearance of marker in multi-selection menu (Juergen
13047	  Pfeifer)
13048	+ fix behavior for forms with all fields inactive (Juergen Pfeifer)
13049	+ document 'field_index()' (Juergen Pfeifer)
13050	> patch #321 (ESR):
13051	+ add some more XENIX keycap translations to include/Caps.
13052	+ modify newwin to set initial state of each line to 'touched'
13053	  (from patch by Peter Wemm <peter@spinner.dialix.com>)
13054	+ in SET_TTY, replace TCSANOW with TCSADRAIN (Alexander V Lukyanov).
13055
13056960928	- snapshot
13057	+ ifdef'd out _nc_hash_map (still slower)
13058	+ add graphic characters to vt52 description.
13059	+ use PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to ensure proper background, position.
13060	+ simplify/correct logic in 'mvcur()' that does wrapping; it was
13061	  updating the position w/o actually moving the cursor, which broke
13062	  relative moves.
13063	+ ensure that 'doupdate()' sets the .oldindex values back to a sane
13064	  state; this was causing a spurious refresh in ncurses 'r'.
13065	+ add logic to configure (from vile) to guard against builders who
13066	  don't remove config.cache & config.status when doing new builds -TD
13067	+ corrected logic for 'repeat_char' in EmitRange (cf: eric #317), which
13068	  did not follow the 2-parameter scheme specified in XSI.
13069	+ corrected logic of wrefresh, wnoutrefresh broken in #319, making
13070	  clearok work properly (report by Michael Elkins).
13071	+ corrected problem with endwin introduced by #314 (removing the
13072	  scrolling-region reset) that broke ncurses.c tests.
13073	+ corrected order of args in AC_CHECK_LIB (from report by Ami Fischman
13074	  <fischman@math.ucla.edu>).
13075	+ corrected formatting of terminfo.5 tables (Juergen Ehling)
13076	> patch 320 (ESR):
13077	+ change ABI to 3.3
13078	+ emit a carriage-return in 'endwin()' to workaround a kernel bug in
13079	  BSDI.  (requested by Mike Karels <karels@redrock.bsdi.com>)
13080	+ reverse the default o configure --enable-termcap (consensus).
13081	> patch 319 (ESR):
13082	+ modified logic for clearok and related functions (from report by
13083	  Michael Elkins) - untested
13084	> patch 318 (ESR):
13085	+ correction to #317.
13086	> patch 317 (ESR):
13087	+ re-add _nc_hash_map
13088	+ modify EmitRange to maintain position as per original design
13089	  (patch by A. Lukyanov).
13090	+ modify test/ncurses.c and tputs, etc., to allow trace counting
13091	  output characters.
13092	+ add hashtest.c program to time the hashmap optimization.
13093	> patch 316 (ESR):
13094	+ add logic to deal with magic-cookie (how was this tested?)
13095	  (lib_doupdate.c).
13096	+ add ncurses.c driver for magic-cookie, some fixes to ncurses.c
13097	> patch 315 (ESR):
13098	+ merge changes to lib_doupdate.c to use ech and rep - untested
13099	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
13100	+ modified handling of interrupted system calls - untested
13101	  (lib_getch.c, lib_twait.c).
13102	+ new function _nc_mvcur_resume()
13103	+ fix return value for 'overlay()', 'overwrite()'
13104
13105960914	- snapshot
13106	+ implement subwindow-logic in wresize, minor fixes to ncurses 'g'
13107	  test.
13108	+ corrected bracketing of fallback.c (reported/suggested fix by Juergen
13109	  Ehling <eh@eclipse.aball.de>).
13110	+ update xterm-color to reflect XFree86 3.1.3G release.
13111	+ correct broken dtterm description from #314 patch (e.g., spurious
13112	  newline.  The 'pairs' change might work, but no one's tested it
13113	  either ;-)
13114	+ clarify the documentation for the builtin form fieldtypes (Juergen
13115	  Pfeifer)
13116	> patch 314 (ESR):
13117	+ reset scroll region on startup rather than at wrapup time
13118	  (enhancement suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
13119	+ make storage of palette tables and their size counts per-screen for
13120	  multi-terminal applications (suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
13121	+ Improved error reporting for infotocap translation errors.
13122	+ Update terminfo.src to 9.13.14.
13123
13124960907	- snapshot
13125	+ rewrote wgetstr to make it erase control chars and also fix bogus use
13126	  of _nc_outstr which caused the display to not wrap properly (display
13127	  problem reported by John M. Flinchbaugh <glynis@netrax.net>)
13128	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to accommodate terminal responses to C1 codes
13129	  (and split up this screen to accommodate non-ANSI terminals).
13130	+ test enter_insert_mode and exit_insert_mode in has_ic().
13131	+ removed bogus logic in mvcur that assumes nl/nonl set output modes
13132	  (XSI says they are input modes; SVr4 implements this).
13133	+ added macros SET_TTY, GET_TTY to term.h
13134	+ correct getstr() logic that altered terminal modes w/o restoring.
13135	+ disable ICRNL, etc., during initialization to match SVr4, removing
13136	  the corresponding logic from raw, cbreak, etc.
13137	+ disable ONLCR during initialization, to match SVr4 (this is needed
13138	  for cursor optimization when the cursor-down is a newline).
13139	+ replaced ESR's imitation of wresize with my original (his didn't
13140	  work).
13141
13142960831	- snapshot
13143	+ memory leaks (Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13144	+ modified pnoutrefresh() to be more tolerant of too-large screen
13145	  size (reported by Michael Elkins).
13146	+ correct handling of terminfo files with no strings (Philippe De
13147	  Muyter)
13148	+ correct "tic -s" to take into account -I, -C options.
13149	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to not print codes 80 through 9F, since they
13150	  are considered control codes by ANSI terminals.
13151
13152960824	- snapshot
13153	+ correct speed variable-type in 'tgetent()' (reported by Peter Wemm)
13154	+ make "--enable-getcap" configuration-option work (reported by
13155	  Peter Wemm <peter@spinner.DIALix.COM>)
13156
13157960820
13158	+ correct err in 960817 that changed return-value of tigetflag()
13159	  (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
13160	+ modify infocmp to use library default search-path for terminfo

13166	  descriptions that existed in directories past the first one searched
13167	  (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov)
13168	+ corrected typo in dtterm description.

13175	+ minor fixes to ncurses.c (use 'noraw()', mvscanw return-code)
13176	+ refine configure-test for "-g" option (Tim Mooney).
13177	+ correct interaction between O_BLANK and NEW_LINE request in form
13178	  library (Juergen Pfeifer)
13179
13180960804
13181	+ revised fix to tparm; previous fix reversed parameter order.
13182	> patch 312 (ESR):
13183	  correct terminfo.src corrupted by #310
13184	> patch 311 (ESR):
13185	+ fix idlok() and idcok() and the default of the idlok switch (report
13186	  by Ville Sulko).
13187
13188960803	- snapshot
13189	+ corrected tparm to handle capability strings without explicit pop
13190	  (reported by William P Setzer)
13191	+ add fallback def for GCC_NORETURN, GCC_UNUSED for termcap users

13195	  (reported by William P Setzer <wsetzer@pams.ncsu.edu>)
13196	+ updated qnx terminfo entry (patch by Michael Hunter)
13197
13198960730
13199	+ eliminate quoted includes in ncurses subdirectory, ensure config.h
13200	  is included first.
13201	+ newterm initializes terminal settings the same as initscr (reported
13202	  by Tim Mooney).
13203
13204960727	- snapshot
13205	+ call cbreak() in initscr(), as per XSI & SVr4.
13206	+ turn off hardware echo in initscr() as per XSI & SVr4
13207	> patch 309 (ESR):
13208	+ terminfo changes (9.3.9), from BRL
13209	+ add more checks to terminfo parser.
13210	+ add more symbols to infocmp.
13211
13212960720	- snapshot

13215	+ corrected calls on _nc_render so that background character is set
13216	  as per XSI.
13217	+ corrected wbkgdset macro (XSI allows background character to be
13218	  null), and tests that use it.
13219	+ more corrections to terminfo (xterm & rxvt)
13220	+ undid change to mcprint prototype (cannot use size_t in curses.h
13221	  because not all systems declare it in the headers that we can safely
13222	  include therein).
13223	+ move the ifdefs for errno into curses.priv.h
13224	> patch 308 (ESR):
13225	+ terminfo changes (9.3.8)

13227	+ fix option-processing bug in toe.
13228
13229960713	- snapshot
13230	+ always check for <sys/bsdtypes.h> since ISC needs it to declare
13231	  fd_set (Juergen Pfeifer)
13232	+ install shared-libraries on NetBSD/FreeBSD with ABI-version (reported
13233	  by Juergen Pfeifer, Mike Long)

13238	+ misc/terminfo.src update to 9.13.8
13239	+ patch 306 (ESR):
13240	+ moved logic that filters out rmul and rmso from setupterm to newterm
13241	  where it is less likely to interfere with termcap applications.
13242	+ cosmetic fixes to test/ncurses.c
13243	+ modify open() call in ncurses/read_entry.c to use O_RDONLY symbol
13244	  rather than constant (report by mib).

13246	  Muyter).
13247	+ modify ncurses/comp_parse.c so that entries containing a "+" can
13248	  have missing rmcup vs smcup.
13249
13250960707
13251	+ rollback ESR's #305 change to terminfo.src (it breaks existing
13252	  applications, e.g., 'less 290').
13253	+ correct path of edit_man.sh, and fix typo that made all man-pages
13254	  preformatted.
13255	+ restore man/menu_requestname.3x omitted in Zeyd's resync (oops).
13256	+ auto-configure the GCC_PRINTFLIKE/GCC_SCANFLIKE macros (reported by

13258
13259960706	- snapshot
13260	+ make lib_vidattr.c more readable using macros.
13261	+ filter out rmul, rmso that conflict with sgr0 when reading terminal
13262	  descriptions.
13263	+ work around autoconf bug, force $INSTALL to absolute path
13264	  (reported by Zeyd).
13265	+ modify man-page install for BSDI to install preformatted .0 files
13266	  (reported by David MacKenzie).
13267	+ add/use gcc __attribute__ for printf and scanf in curses.h
13268	+ added SGR attributes test-case to ncurses
13269	+ revised ncurses 't' logic to show trace-disable effect in the menu.

13271	+ make ncurses 'p' legend toggle with '?'
13272	+ disable scrollok during the ncurses 'p' test; if it is enabled the
13273	  stdscr will scroll when putting the box-corners in the lower-right
13274	  of the screen.
13275	> patch 305 (ESR):
13276	+ added sanity-checking of various paired string attributes.

13280	+ corrected allocation-length for $HOME/.terminfo path.
13281
13282960629	- snapshot
13283	+ check return code of _nc_mvcur_scrolln() in _nc_scroll_optimize() for
13284	  terminals with no scrolling-support (reported by Nikolay Shadrin
13285	  <queen@qh.mirea.ac.ru>)
13286	+ added ^S scrollok-toggle to ncurses 'g' test.
13287	+ added ^T trace-toggle to ncurses tests.
13288	+ modified ncurses test program to use ^Q or ESC consistently for
13289	  terminating tests (rather than ^D), and to use control keys rather
13290	  than function keys in 'g' test.
13291	+ corrected misplaced wclrtoeol calls in addch to accommodate wrapping
13292	  (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
13293	+ modify lib_doupdate.c to use effective costs to tradeoff between
13294	  delete-character/insert-character vs normal updating (reported by
13295	  David MacKenzie).
13296	+ compute effective costs for screen update operations (e.g., clr_eos,
13297	  delete_character).
13298	+ corrected error in knight.c exposed by wrap fixes in 960622; the
13299	  msgwin needed scrollok set.
13300	+ corrected last change to IDcTransformLine logic to avoid conflict
13301	  between PutRange and InsStr
13302	+ modified run_tic.sh to not use /usr/tmp (reported by David

13305	+ corrected off-by-one in RoomFor call in read_entry.c
13306
13307960622	- snapshot
13308	+ modified logic that wraps cursor in addch to follow the XSI spec,
13309	  (implemented in SVr4) which states that the cursor position is
13310	  updated when wrapping.  Renamed _NEED_WRAP to _WRAPPED to reflect the
13311	  actual semantics.
13312	+ added -s option to tic, to provide better diagnostics in run_tic.sh
13313	+ improved error-recovery for tabset install.
13314	+ change ABI to 3.1 (dropped tparam, corrected getbkgd(), added
13315	  _yoffset to WINDOW).
13316	+ modified initialization of SP->_ofp so that init_acs() is called with
13317	  the "right" file pointer (reported by Rick Marshall <rjm@nlc.net.au>
13318	+ documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer).
13319	+ corrected, using new SCREEN and WINDOW members, the behavior of
13320	  ncurses if one uses ripoffline() to remove a line from the top of the
13321	  screen (Juergen Pfeifer).
13322	+ modified autoconf scripts to prepare for Ada95 (GNAT) binding to
13323	  ncurses (Juergen Pfeifer).
13324	+ incorrect buffer-size in _nc_read_entry, reported by ESR.
13325
13326960617
13327	+ corrected two logic errors in read_entry.c, write_entry.c (called by
13328	  tic, the write/read of terminfo entries used inconsistent rules for
13329	  locating the entries; the $TERMINFO_DIRS code would find only the
13330	  first entry in a list).
13331	+ refined pathname computation in run_tic.sh and shlib.
13332	+ corrected initialization of $IP in misc/run_tic.sh
13333
13334960615	- snapshot

13336	+ display version of gcc if configure script identifies it.
13337	+ modify configure script to use /usr as Linux's default prefix.
13338	+ modify run_tic.sh to use shlib script, fixes some problems installing
13339	  with a shared-library configuration.
13340	+ adjusted configure script so that it doesn't run tests with the
13341	  warnings turned on, which makes config.log hard to read.
13342	+ added 'lint' rule to top-level Makefile.
13343	+ added configure option '--with-install-prefix' for use by system
13344	  builders to install into staging locations (requested by
13345	  Charles Levert <charles@comm.polymtl.ca>).
13346	+ corrected autoconfigure for Debian man program; it's not installed
13347	  as "man_db".
13348	+ set noecho in 'worm'; it was ifdef'd for debug only
13349	+ updated test/configure.in for timing-display in ncurses 'p' test
13350	+ corrected misspelled 'getbkgd()'.
13351	+ corrected wbkgdset to work like observed syvr4 (sets A_CHARTEXT part
13352	  to blank if no character given, copies attributes to window's
13353	  attributes).
13354	+ modified lib_doupdate.c to use lower-level SP's current_attr state
13355	  instead of curscr's state, since it is redundant.
13356	+ correction to IDcTransformLine logic which controls where InsStr is
13357	  invoked (refined by Alexander V Lukyanov).
13358	> patch 303 (ESR):
13359	+ conditionally include Chris Torek's hash function _nc_hash_map().

13370	+ corrected ifdef for BROKEN_LINKER in MKnames.awk.in
13371	+ corrected missing INSTALL_DATA in misc/Makefile.in
13372	+ flush output when changing cursor-visibility (Rick Marshall)
13373	+ fix a minor bug in the _nc_ripoff() routine and improve error
13374	  checking when creating the label window (Juergen Pfeifer).
13375	+ enhancement to the control over the new PC-style soft key format.
13376	  allow caller now to select whether or not one wants to have
13377	  the index-line; see curs_slk.3x for documentation (Juergen Pfeifer).

13401	  <lav@yars.free.net>).
13402	+ autoconf mods (Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>).
13403	+ locale fix for forms (Philippe De Muyter <phdemuyt@ulb.ac.be>)
13404	+ renamed "--with-datadir" option to "--with-ticdir" to avoid
13405	  confusion, and made this check for the /usr/lib/terminfo pre-existing

13418	  list from a file.
13419
13420960511
13421	+ don't use fixed buffer-size in tparm().

13444	+ misc cursor & optimization fixes.

13516
13517### ncurses-1.9.8a -> 1.9.9e
13518
13519* fixed broken wsyncup()/wysncdown(), as a result wnoutrefresh() now has
13520  copy-changed-lines behavior.
13521* added and documented wresize() function.
13522* more fixes to LOWER-RIGHT corner handling.
13523* changed the line-breakout optimization code to allow some lines to be
13524  emitted before the first check.
13525* added option for tic to use symbolic instead of hard links (for AFS)
13526* fix to restore auto-wrap mode.
13527* trace level can be controlled by environment variable.
13528* better handling of NULs in terminal descriptions.
13529* improved compatibility with observed SVR4 behavior.
13530* the refresh behavior of over-lapping windows is now more efficient and
13531  behaves like SVR4.
13532* use autoconf 2.7, which results in a working setup for SCO 5.0.
13533* support for ESCDELAY.
13534* small fixes for menu/form code.
13535* the test directory has its own configure.
13536* fixes to pads when optimizing scrolling.
13537* fixed several off-by-one bugs.
13538* fixes for termcap->terminfo translation; less restrictions more correct
13539  behavior.
13540
13541### ncurses-1.9.7 -> 1.9.8a
13542
13543* teach infocmp -i to recognize ECMA highlight sequences
13544* infocmp now dumps all SVr4 termcaps (not just the SVr4 ones) on -C
13545* support infocmp -RBSD.
13546* satisfy XSI Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
13547* This represents the last big change to the public interface of ncurses. The
13548  ABI_VERSION has now been set at 3.0 and should stay there barring any great
13549  catastrophies or acts of God.
13550* The C++ has been cleaned up in reaction to the changes to satisfy XSI's
13551  requirements.
13552* libncurses now gets linked to libcurses to help seamless emulation
13553  (replacement) of a vendor's curses. --disable-overwrite turns this behavior
13554  off.
13555
13556### ncurses-1.9.6 -> 1.9.7
13557
13558* corrected return values of setupterm()
13559* Fixed some bugs in tput (it does padding now)
13560* fixed a bug in tic that made it do the wrong thing on entries with more than
13561  one `use' capability.
13562* corrected the screen-size calculation at startup time to alter the
13563  numeric capabilities as per SVr4, not just LINES and COLS.
13564* toe(1) introduced; does what infocmp -T used to.
13565* tic(1) can now translate AIX box1 and font[0123] capabilities.
13566* tic uses much less core, the dotic.sh kluge can go away now.
13567* fix read_entry() and write_entry() to pass through cancelled capabilities OK.
13568* Add $HOME/.terminfo as source/target directory for terminfo entries.
13569* termcap compilation now automatically dumps an entry to $HOME/.terminfo.
13570* added -h option to toe(1).
13571* added -R option to tic(1) and infocmp(1).
13572* added fallback-entry-list feature.
13573* added -i option to infocmp(1).
13574* do a better job at detecting if we're on SCO.
13575
13576### ncurses-1.9.5 -> 1.9.6
13577
13578* handling of TERMCAP environment variables now works correctly.
13579* various changes to shorten termcap translations to less that 1024 chars.
13580* tset(1) added
13581* mouse support for xterm.
13582* most data tables are now const and accordingly live in shareable text space.
13583* Obey the XPG4/SVr4 practice that echo() is initially off.
13584* tic is much better at translating XENIX and AIX termcap entries now.
13585* tic can interpret ko capabilities now.
13586* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's forms library.
13587* taught write_entry() how not to write more than it needs to; this change
13588  reduces the size of the terminfo tree by a full 26%!
13589* infocmp -T option added.
13590* better warnings about historical tic quirks from tic.
13591
13592### ncurses 1.9.4 -> 1.9.5
13593
13594* menus library is now included with documentation.
13595* lib_mvcur has been carefully profiled and tuned.
13596* Fixed a ^Z-handling bug that was tanking lynx(1).
13597* HJ Lu's patches for ELF shared libraries under Linux
13598* terminfo.src 9.8.2
13599* tweaks for compiling in separate directories.
13600* Thomas Dickey's patches to support NeXT's brain-dead linker
13601* Eric Raymond's patches to fix problems with long termcap entries.
13602* more support for shared libraries under SunOS and IRIX.
13603
13604### ncurses 1.9.3 -> 1.9.4
13605
13606* fixed an undefined-order-of-evaluation bug in lib_acs.c
13607* systematically gave non-API public functions and data an _nc_ prefix.
13608* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's menu code into the distribution.
13609* totally rewrote the knight test game's interface
13610
13611### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.3
13612
13613* fixed the TERMCAP_FILE Support.
13614* fixed off-by-one errors in scrolling code
13615* added tracemunch to the test tools
13616* took steps to cut the running time of make install.data
13617
13618### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.2d
13619
13620* revised 'configure' script to produce libraries for normal, debug,
13621  profile and shared object models.
13622
13623### ncurses 1.9.1 -> 1.9.2
13624
13625* use 'autoconf' to implement 'configure' script.
13626* panels support added
13627* tic now checks for excessively long termcap entries when doing translation
13628* first cut at eliminating namespace pollution.
13629
13630### ncurses 1.8.9 -> 1.9
13631
13632* cleanup gcc warnings for the following: use size_t where 'int' is not
13633  appropriate, fixed some shadowed variables, change attr_t to compatible with
13634  chtype, use attr_t in some places where it was confused with 'int'.
13635* use chtype/attr_t casts as appropriate to ensure portability of masking
13636  operations.
13637* added-back waddchnstr() to lib_addstr.c (it had been deleted).
13638* supplied missing prototypes in curses.h
13639* include <termcap.h> in lib_termcap.c to ensure that the prototypes
13640  are consistent (they weren't).
13641* corrected prototype of tputs in <termcap.h>
13642* rewrote varargs parsing in lib_tparm.c (to avoid referencing memory
13643  that may be out of bounds on the stack) -- Purify found this.
13644* ensure that TRACE is defined in lib_trace.c (to solve prototype
13645  warnings from gcc).
13646* corrected scrolling-region size in 'mvcur_wrap()'
13647* more spelling fixes
13648* use 'calloc()' to allocate WINDOW struct in lib_newwin.c (Purify).
13649* set default value for SP->_ofp in lib_set_term.c (otherwise SunOS dumps
13650  core in init_acs()).
13651* include <errno.h> in write_entry.c (most "braindead" includes declare errno
13652  in that file).
13653
13654### ncurses 1.8.8 -> 1.8.9
13655
13656* compile (mostly) clean with gcc 2.5.8 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
13657  -Wmissing-prototypes -Wconversion and using __attribute__ to flush out
13658  non-portable use of "%x" for pointers, or for chtype data (which is declared
13659  as a long).
13660* modified doupdate to ensure that typahead was turned on before attempting
13661  select-call (otherwise, some implementations hang).
13662* added trace mask TRACE_FIFO, use this in lib_getch.c to allow finer
13663  resolution of traces.
13664* improved bounds checking on several critical functions.
13665* the data directory has been replaced by the new master terminfo file.
13666* -F file-comparison option added to infocmp.
13667* compatibility with XSI Curses is now documented in the man bages.
13668* wsyncup/wsyncdown functions are reliable now; subwindow code in general
13669  is much less flaky.
13670* capabilities ~msgr, tilde_glitch, insert_padding, generic_type, no_pad_char,
13671  memory_above, memory_below, and hard_copy are now used properly.
13672* cursor-movement optimization has been completely rewritten.
13673* vertical-movement optimization now uses hardware scrolling, il, dl.
13674
13675### ncurses 1.8.7 -> 1.8.8
13676* untic no longer exists, infocmp replaces it.
13677* tic can understand termcap now, especially if it is called captoinfo.
13678* The Linux Standard Console terminfo entry is called linux insead of console.
13679  It also uses the kernel's new method of changing charsets.
13680* initscr() will EXIT upon error (as the docs say) This will mostly happen if
13681  you try to run on an undefined terminal.
13682* I can get things running on AIX but tic can't compile terminfo. I have to
13683  compile entries on another machine. Volunteers to hunt this bug are welcome.
13684* wbkgd() and wbkgdset() can be used to set a windows background to color.
13685  wclear()/werase() DO NOT use the current attribute to clear the screen.
13686  This is the way SVR4 curses works. PDCurses 2.1 is broken in this respect,
13687  though PDCurses 2.2 has been fixed.
13688* cleaned up the test/ directory.
13689* test/worm will segfault after quite a while.
13690* many spelling corrections courtesy of Thomas E. Dickey
13691
13692### ncurses 1.8.6 -> 1.8.7
13693* cleaned up programs in test/ directory.
13694* fixed wbkgdset() macro.
13695* modified getstr() to stop it from advancing cursor in noecho mode.
13696* modified linux terminfo entry to work with the latest kernel to get
13697  the correct alternate character set.
13698* also added a linux-mono entry for those running on monochrome screens.
13699* changed initscr() so that it behaves like the man page says it does.
13700  this fixes the problem with programs in test/ crashing with SIGSEV if
13701  a terminal is undefined.
13702* modified addch() to avoid using any term.h #define's
13703* removed duplicate tgoto() in lib_tparm.c
13704* modified dump_entry.c so that infocmp deals correctly with ',' in acsc
13705* modified delwin() to correctly handle deleting subwindows.
13706* fixed Makefile.dist to stop installing an empty curses.h
13707* fixed a couple of out-of-date notes in man pages.
13708
13709### ncurses 1.8.5 -> 1.8.6
13710* Implemented wbkgd(), bkgd(), bkgdset(), and wbkgdset().
13711* The handling of attributes has been improved and now does not turn off color
13712  if other attributes are turned off.
13713* scrolling code is improved. Scrolling in subwindows is still broken.
13714* Fixes to several bugs that manifest them on platforms other than Linux.
13715* The default to meta now depends on the status of the terminal when ncurses
13716  is started.
13717* The interface to the tracing facility has changed.  Instead of the pair of
13718  functions traceon() and traceoff(), there is just one function trace() which
13719  takes a trace mask argument.  The trace masks, defined in curses.h, are
13720  as follows:
13721
13722	#define TRACE_DISABLE   0x00    /* turn off tracing */
13723	#define TRACE_ORDINARY  0x01    /* ordinary trace mode */
13724	#define TRACE_CHARPUT   0x02    /* also trace all character outputs */
13725	#define TRACE_MAXIMUM   0x0f    /* maximum trace level */
13726
13727  More trace masks may be added, or these may be changed, in future releases.
13728* The pad code has been improved and the pad test code in test/ncurses.c has
13729  been improved.
13730* The prototype ansi entry has been changed to work with a wider variety
13731  of emulators.
13732* Fix to the prototype ansi entry that enables it to work with PC emulators
13733  that treat trailing ";m" in a highlight sequence as ";0m"; this doesn't
13734  break operation with any emulators.
13735* There are now working infocmp, captoinfo, tput, and tclear utilities.
13736* tic can now compile entries in termcap syntax.
13737* Core-dump bug in pnoutrefresh fixed.
13738* We now recognize and compile all the nonstandard capabilities in Ross
13739  Ridge's mytinfo package (rendering it obsolete).
13740* General cleanup and documentation improvements.
13741* Fixes and additions to the installation-documentation files.
13742* Take cursor to normal mode on endwin.
13743
13744### ncurses 1.8.4 -> 1.8.5
13745* serious bugs in updating screen which caused erratic non-display,
13746  fixed.
13747* fixed initialization for getch() related variable which cause
13748  unpredictable results.
13749* fixed another doupdate bug which only appeared if you have
13750  parm_char.
13751* implemented redrawln() and redrawwin().
13752* implemented winsnstr() and related functions.
13753* cleaned up insertln() and deleteln() and implemented (w)insdeln().
13754* changed Makefile.dist so that installation of man pages will
13755  take note of the terminfo directory.
13756* fixed Configure (removed the mysterious 'X').
13757* Eric S. Raymond fixed the script.* files so that they work with
13758  stock awk.
13759
13760#### ncurses 1.8.3 -> 1.8.4 #### ####
13761* fixed bug in refreshing the screen after return from shell_mode.
13762  There are still problems but they don't manifest themselves on
13763  my machine (Linux 0.99.14f).
13764* added wgetnstr() and modified things accordingly.
13765* fixed the script.src script.test to work with awk not just gawk.
13766* Configure can now take an argument of the target system.
13767* added test/ncurses.c which replaces several other programs and
13768  performs more testing.
13769[Thanks to Eric S Raymond for the last 4]
13770* more fixes to lib_overlay.c and added test/over.c to illustrate
13771  how it works.
13772* fixed ungetch() to take int instead of ch.
13773* fixes to cure wgetch() if flushinp() is called.
13774
13775One note I forgot to mention in 1.8.3 is that tracing is off by
13776default starting in the version. If you want tracing output, put
13777traceon(); in your code and link with -ldcurses.
13778
13779#### ncurses 1.8.2 -> ncurses 1.8.3 #### ####
13780MAJOR CHANGES:
137811) The order of capabilities has been changed in order to achieve
13782binary compatibility with SVR4 terminfo database. This has the
13783unfortunate effect of breaking application currently linked with
13784ncurses. To ensure correct behavior, recompile all such programs.
13785Most programs using color or newer capabilities will break, others
13786will probably continue to work ok.
13787
137882) Pavel Curtis has renounced his copyright to the public domain.
13789This means that his original sources (posted to comp.sources.unix,
13790volume 1) are now in the public domain.  The current sources are
13791NOT in the public domain, they are copyrighted by me.  I'm
13792entertaining ideas on what the new terms ncurses is released under.
13793
137943) Eric S. Raymond has supplied a complete set of man pages for
13795ncurses in ?roff format. They will eventually replace most of the
13796current docs. Both sets are included in this release.
13797
13798Other changes and notes from 1.8.2 include:
13799* SIGSEGV during scrolling no longer occurs.
13800* Other problems with scrolling and use of idl have been corrected.
13801* lib_getch.c has been re-written and should perform flawlessly.
13802  please use test/getch.c and any other programs to test this.
13803* ripoffline() is implemented (Thanks to Eric) and slk_ functions
13804  changed accordingly.
13805* I've added support for terminals that scroll if you write in the
13806  bottom-right corner.
13807* fixed more bugs in pads code. If anybody has a program that uses
13808  pads I'd love a copy.
13809* correct handling for terminal with back_color_erase capability
13810  (such as Linux console, and most PC terminals)
13811* ^Z handling apparently didn't work (I should never trust code
13812  sent me to me without extensive testing). It now seems to be
13813  fixed. Let me know if you have problems.
13814* I've added support for Apollo and NeXT, but it may still be
13815  incomplete, especially when dealing with the lack of POSIX
13816  features.
13817* scrolling should be more efficient on terminals with idl
13818  capabilities. Please see src/lib_scroll.c for more notes.
13819* The line drawing routines were offset by 1 at both ends. This
13820  is now fixed.
13821* added a few missing prototypes and macros (e.g. setterm())
13822* fixed code in src/lib_overlay.c which used to crash.
13823* added a few more programs in test/ The ones from the PDCurses
13824  package are useful, especially if you have SVR4 proper. I'm
13825  interested in the results you get on such a systems (Eric? ;-).
13826  They already exposed certain bugs in ncurses.
13827* See src/README for porting notes.
13828* The C++ code should really replace ncurses.h instead of working
13829  around it. It should avoid name-space clashes with nterm.h (use
13830  rows instead of lines, etc.)
13831* The C++ should compile ok. I've added explicit rules to the
13832  Makefile because no C++ defaults are documented on the suns.
13833* The docs say that echo() and nocbreak() are mutually exclusive.
13834  At the moment ncurses will switch to cbreak() if the case above
13835  occurs. Should it continue to do so? How about echo() and noraw()?
13836* PDCurses seem to assume that wclear() will use current attribute
13837  when clearing the screen. According to Eric this is not the case
13838  with SVR4.
13839* I have discovered, to my chagrin, SunOS 4.x (and probably other systems)
13840  * doesn't have vsscanf and God knows what else!  I've will do a vsscanf().
13841* I've also found out that the src/script.* rely on gawk and will not
13842  work with stock awk or even with nawk. Any changes are welcome.
13843* Linux is more tolerant of NULL dereferences than most systems. This
13844  fact was exposed by hanoi.
13845* ncurses still seems inefficient in drawing the screen on a serial
13846  link between Linux and suns. The padding may be the culprit.
13847* There seems to be one lingering problem with doupdate() after shelling
13848  out. Despite the fact the it is sending out the correct information
13849  to the terminal, nothing takes effect until you press ^L or another
13850  refresh takes place. And yes, output does get flushed.
13851
13852#### ncurses 1.8.1 -> ncurses 1.8.2 #### Nov 28, 1993 ####
13853
13854* added support for SVR4 and BSDI's BSD/386.
13855* major update and fix to scrolling routine.
13856* MORE fixes to stuff in lib_getch.c.
13857* cleaned-up configuration options and can now generate
13858	Config.* files through an awk script.
13859* changed setupterm() so it can be called more than once,
13860	add added set_curterm(), del_curterm().
13861* a few minor cleanups.
13862* added more prototypes in curses.h
13863
13864#### ncurses 1.8 -> ncurses 1.8.1 #### Nov 4, 1993 ####
13865
13866* added support for NeXTStep 3.0
13867* added termcap emulation (not well tested).
13868* more complete C++ interface to ncurses.
13869* fixed overlay(), overwrite(), and added copywin().
13870* a couple of bug fixes.
13871* a few code cleanups.
13872
13873#### ncurses 0.7.2/0.7.3 -> ncurses 1.8 #### Aug 31, 1993 ####
13874
13875* The annoying message "can't open file." was due to missing
13876  terminfo entry for the used terminal. It has now been
13877  replaced by a hopefully more helpful message.
13878* Problems with running on serial lines are now fixed.
13879* Added configuration files for SunOS, Linux, HP/UX, Ultrix,
13880  386bsd/BSDI (if you have others send'em to me)
13881* Cleaner Makefile.
13882* The documentation in manual.doc is now more uptodate.
13883* update optimization and support for hp terminals, and 386bsd
13884  console driver(s).
13885* mvcur optimization for terminals without cursor addressing
13886  (doesn't work on Linux)
13887* if cursor moved since last update, getch() will refresh the
13888  screen before working.
13889* getch() & alarm() can now live together. in 0.7.3 a signal
13890  interrupted getch() (bug or feature?) now the getch is
13891  restarted.
13892* scanw() et all were sick, now fixed.

13922Thanks to Hellmuth Michaelis for his help.
13923optimization code is slated for the next major release, stay tuned!
13924
13925#### ncurses 0.6/0.61 -> ncurses 0.7 #### April 1, 1993
13926Please note that the next release will be called 1.8. If you want to know about
13927the rationale drop me a line.
13928
13929Included are several test programs in test/.

13931available separately from netcom.com:pub/zmbenhal/
13932
13933* color and ACS support is now fully compatible with SYSV at the terminfo
13934  level.
13935* Capabilities now includes as many SYSV caps I could find.
13936* tigetflag,tigetnum,tigetstr functions added.
13937* boolnames, boolfnames, boolcodes numnames, numfnames, numcodes,
13938  strnames, strfnames, strcodes arrays are now added.
13939* keyname() is added.
13940* All function keys can be defined in terminfo entries.
13941* fixed lin_tparm.c to behave properly.

13943* more automation in handling caps and keys.
13944* included fixes from 0.6.1
13945* added a few more missing functions.
13946* fixed a couple of minor bugs.

13949
13950#### ncurses 0.6 -> ncurses 0.61 ####

13955
139563) corrected usage of win->_delay value.
13957
139584) fixed a bug in lib_getch.c. if it didn't recognize a sequence it would
13959	simply return the last character in the sequence. The correct
13960	behavior is to return the entire sequence one character at a time.
13961

13963* removed _numchngd from struct _win_st and made appropriate changes.
