32working with Pavel Curtis' original work, pcurses, in 1992.
33
34Changes through 1.9.9e are recorded by Zeyd M Ben-Halim.
35Changes since 1.9.9e are recorded by Thomas E Dickey.
36
37Contributors include those who have provided patches (even small ones), as well
38as those who provide useful information (bug reports, analyses).  Changes with
39no cited author are the work of Thomas E Dickey (TD).
40
41A few contributors are given in this file by their initials.
42They each account for one percent or more of the changes since 1.9.9e.
43See the AUTHORS file for the corresponding full names.
44
45Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions;
46it is not possible to add this information.
47
4820140222
49	+ fix some compiler warnings in win_driver.c
50	+ updated notes for wsvt25 based on tack and vttest -TD
51	+ add teken entry to show actual properties of FreeBSD's "xterm"
52	  console -TD
53
5420140215
55	+ in-progress changes to win_driver.c to implement output without
56	  allocating a console-buffer.  This uses a pre-existing environment
57	  variable NCGDB used by Juergen Pfeifer for debugging (prompted by
58	  discussion with Erwin Waterlander regarding Console2, which hangs
59	  when reading in an allocated console-buffer).
60	+ add -t option to gdc.c, and modify to accept "S" to step through the
61	  scrolling-stages.
62	+ regenerate NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the broken
63	  html emitted by docbook.
64
6520140209
66	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to omit followup check to determine if
67	  _XOPEN_SOURCE can/should be defined.  g++ 4.7.2 built on Solaris 10
68	  has some header breakage due to its own predefinition of this symbol
69	  (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15796).
70
7120140201
72	+ add/use symbol NCURSES_PAIRS_T like NCURSES_COLOR_T, to illustrate
73	  which "short" types are for color pairs and which are color values.
74	+ fix build for s390x, by correcting field bit offsets in generated
75	  representation clauses when int=32 long=64 and endian=big, or at
76	  least on s390x (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
77	+ minor cleanup change to test/form_driver_w.c (patch by Gaute Hope).
78
7920140125
80	+ remove unnecessary ifdef's in Ada95/gen/gen.c, which reportedly do
81	  not work as is with gcc 4.8 due to fixes using chtype cast made for
82	  new compiler warnings by gcc 4.8 in 20130824 (Debian #735753, patch
83	  by Nicolas Boulenguez).
84
8520140118
86	+ apply includesubdir variable which was introduced in 20130805 to
87	  gen-pkgconfig.in (Debian #735782).
88
8920131221
90	+ further improved man2html, used this to fix broken links in html
91	  manpages.  See
92	  ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/man2html
93
9420131214
95	+ modify configure-script/ifdef's to allow OLD_TTY feature to be
96	  suppressed if the type of ospeed is configured using the option
97	  --with-ospeed to not be a short.  By default, it is a short for
98	  termcap-compatibility (adapted from suggestion by Christian
99	  Weisgerber).
100	+ correct a typo in _nc_baudrate() (patch by Christian Weisgerber,
101	  cf: 20061230).
102	+ fix a few -Wlogical-op warnings.
103	+ updated llib-l* files.
104
10520131207
106	+ add form_driver_w() entrypoint to wide-character forms library, as
107	  well as test program form_driver_w (adapted from patch by Gaute
108	  Hope).
109
11020131123
111	+ minor fix for CF_GCC_WARNINGS to special-case options which are not
112	  recognized by clang.
113
11420131116
115	+ add special case to configure script to move _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
116	  definition from CPPFLAGS to CFLAGS if it happens to be needed for
117	  Solaris, because g++ errors with that definition (report by
118	  Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15268).
119	+ correct logic in infocmp's -i option which was intended to ignore
120	  strings which correspond to function-keys as candidates for piecing
121	  together initialization- or reset-strings.  The problem dates to
122	  1.9.7a, but was overlooked until changes in -Wlogical-op warnings for
123	  gcc 4.8 (report by David Binderman).
124	+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, adding
125	  checks for -Wextra, -Wignored-qualifiers and -Wlogical-op
126	+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, moving
127	  checks for -Wextra and -Wdeclaration-after-statement into the macro,
128	  and adding checks for -Wignored-qualifiers, -Wlogical-op and
129	  -Wvarargs
130	+ updated CF_CURSES_UNCTRL_H and CF_SHARED_OPTS macros from ongoing
131	  work on cdk.
132	+ update config.sub from
133		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
134
13520131110
136	+ minor cleanup of terminfo.tail
137
13820131102
139	+ use TS extension to describe xterm's title-escapes -TD
140	+ modify terminator and nsterm-s to use xterm+sl-twm building block -TD
141	+ update hurd.ti, add xenl to reflect 2011-03-06 change in
142	  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/hurd.git/log/console/display.c
143	  (Debian #727119).
144	+ simplify pfkey expression in ansi.sys -TD
145
14620131027
147	+ correct/simplify ifdef's for cur_term versus broken-linker and
148	  reentrant options (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, cf: 20090530).
149	+ modify release/version combinations in test build-scripts to make
150	  them more consistent with other packages.
151
15220131019
153	+ add nc_mingw.h to installed headers for MinGW port; needed for
154	  compiling ncurses-examples.
155	+ add rpm-script for testing cross-compile of ncurses-examples.
156
15720131014
158	+ fix new typo in CF_ADA_INCLUDE_DIRS macro (report by Roumen Petrov).
159
16020131012
161	+ fix a few compiler warnings in progs and test.
162	+ minor fix to package/debian-mingw/rules, do not strip dll's.
163	+ minor fixes to configure script for empty $prefix, e.g., when doing
164	  cross-compiles to MinGW.
165	+ add script for building test-packages of binaries cross-compiled to
166	  MinGW using NSIS.
167
16820131005
169	+ minor fixes for ncurses-example package and makefile.
170	+ add scripts for test-builds of cross-compiler packages for ncurses6
171	  to MinGW.
172
17320130928
174	+ some build-fixes for ncurses-examples with NetBSD-6.0 curses, though
175	  it lacks some common functions such as use_env() which is not yet
176	  addressed.
177	+ build-fix and some compiler warning fixes for ncurses-examples with
178	  OpenBSD 5.3
179	+ fix a possible null-pointer reference in a trace message from newterm.
180	+ quiet a few warnings from NetBSD 6.0 namespace pollution by
181	  nonstandard popcount() function in standard strings.h header.
182	+ ignore g++ 4.2.1 warnings for "-Weffc++" in c++/cursesmain.cc
183	+ fix a few overlooked places for --enable-string-hacks option.
184
18520130921
186	+ fix typo in curs_attr.3x (patch by Sven Joachim, cf: 20130831).
187	+ build-fix for --with-shared option for DragonFly and FreeBSD (report
188	  by Rong-En Fan, cf: 20130727).
189
19020130907
191	+ build-fixes for MSYS for two test-programs (patches by Ray Donnelly,
192	  Alexey Pavlov).
193	+ revert change to two of the dpkg format files, to work with dpkg
194	  before/after Debian #700177.
195	+ fix gcc -Wconversion warning in wattr_get() macro.
196	+ add msys and msysdll to known host/configuration types (patch by
197	  Alexey Pavlov).
198	+ modify CF_RPATH_HACK configure macro to not rely upon "-u" option
199	  of sort, improving portability.
200	+ minor improvements for test-programs from reviewing Solaris port.
201	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
202		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
203
20420130831
205	+ modify test/ncurses.c b/B tests to display lines only for the
206	  attributes which a given terminal supports, to make room for an
207	  italics test.
208	+ completed ncv table in terminfo.tail; it did not list the wide
209	  character codes listed in X/Open Curses issue 7.
210	+ add A_ITALIC extension (prompted by discussion with Egmont Koblinger).
211
21220130824

214	+ change format of dpkg test-scripts to quilted to work around bug
215	  introduced by Debian #700177.
216	+ discard cached keyname() values if meta() is changed after a value
217	  was cached using (report by Kurban Mallachiev).
218
21920130816
220	+ add checks in tic to warn about terminals which lack cursor
221	  addressing, capabilities or having those, are marked as hard_copy or
222	  generic_type.
223	+ use --without-progs in mingw-ncurses rpm.
224	+ split out _nc_init_termtype() from alloc_entry.c to use in MinGW
225	  port when tic and other programs are not needed.
226
22720130805
228	+ minor fixes to the --disable-overwrite logic, to ensure that the
229	  configured $(includedir) is not cancelled by the mingwxx-filesystem
230	  rpm macros.
231	+ add --disable-db-install configure option, to simplify building
232	  cross-compile support packages.

247	  the key-size differently from other implementations (cf: 20121229).
248
24920130720
250	+ further improvements for setupterm manpage, clarifying the

25720130706
258	+ add fallback defs for <inttypes.h> and <stdint.h> (cf: 20120225).

292	  function pointer.
293	+ add test/dots_termcap.c
294	+ remove setupterm call from test/demo_termcap.c
295	+ build-fix if --disable-ext-funcs configure option is used.
296	+ modified test/edit_field.c and test/demo_forms.c to move the lengths

305	  --enable-reentrant options are combined (report by George R Goffe).
306
30720130525
308	+ modify mvcur() to distinguish between internal use by the ncurses
309	  library, and external callers, preventing it from reading the content
310	  of the screen which is only nonblank when curses calls have updated
311	  it.  This makes test/dots_mvcur.c avoid painting colored cells in
312	  the left margin of the display.
313	+ minor fix to test/dots_mvcur.c
314	+ move configured symbols USE_DATABASE and USE_TERMCAP to term.h as
315	  NCURSES_USE_DATABASE and NCURSES_USE_TERMCAP to allow consistent
316	  use of these symbols in term_entry.h
317
31820130518
319	+ corrected ifdefs in test/testcurs.c to allow comparison of mouse
320	  interface versus pdcurses (cf: 20130316).
321	+ add pow() to configure-check for math library, needed since
322	  20121208 for test/hanoi (Debian #708056).
323	+ regenerated html manpages.
324	+ update doctype used for html documentation.
325
32620130511
327	+ move nsterm-related entries out of "obsolete" section to more
328	  plausible "ansi consoles" -TD
329	+ additional cleanup of table-of-contents by reordering -TD
330	+ revise fix for check for 8-bit value in _nc_insert_ch(); prior fix
331	  prevented inserts when video attributes were attached to the data
332	  (cf: 20121215) (Redhat #959534).
333
33420130504
335	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
336	  + correct FNKEY() macro in progs/dump_entry.c, allowing kf11-kf63 to
337	    display when infocmp's -R option is used for HP or AIX subsets.
338	  + fix dead-code issue with test/movewindow.c
339	  + improve limited-checking in _nc_read_termtype().
340
34120130427
342	+ fix clang 3.2 warning in progs/dump_entry.c
343	+ drop AC_TYPE_SIGNAL check; ncurses relies on c89 and later.
344
34520130413
346	+ add MinGW to cases where ncurses installs by default into /usr
347	  (prompted by discussion with Daniel Silva Ferreira).
348	+ add -D option to infocmp's usage-message (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
349	+ add a missing 'int' type for main function in configure check for
350	  type of bool variable, to work with clang 3.2 (report by Dmitri
351	  Gribenko).
352	+ improve configure check for static_cast, to work with clang 3.2
353	  (report by Dmitri Gribenko).
354	+ re-order rule for demo.o and macros defining header dependencies in
355	  c++/Makefile.in to accommodate gmake (report by Dmitri Gribenko).
356
35720130406
358	+ improve parameter checking in copywin().
359	+ modify configure script to work around OS X's "libtool" program, to
360	  choose glibtool instead.  At the same time, chance the autoconf macro
361	  to look for a "tool" rather than a "prog", to help with potential use
362	  in cross-compiling.
363	+ separate the rpath usage for c++ library from demo program
364	  (Redhat #911540)
365	+ update/correct header-dependencies in c++ makefile (report by Werner
366	  Fink).
367	+ add --with-cxx-shared to dpkg-script, as done for rpm-script.
368
36920130324
370	+ build-fix for libtool configuration (reports by Daniel Silva Ferreira
371	  and Roumen Petrov).
372
37320130323
374	+ build-fix for OS X, to handle changes for --with-cxx-shared feature
375	  (report by Christian Ebert).
376	+ change initialization for vt220, similar entries for consistency
377	  with cursor-key strings (NetBSD #47674) -TD
378	+ further improvements to linux-16color (Benjamin Sittler)
379
38020130316
381	+ additional fix for tic.c, to allocate missing buffer space.
382	+ eliminate configure-script warnings for gen-pkgconfig.in
383	+ correct typo in sgr string for sun-color,
384	  add bold for consistency with sgr,
385	  change smso for consistency with sgr -TD
386	+ correct typo in sgr string for terminator -TD
387	+ add blink to the attributes masked by ncv in linux-16color (report
388	  by Benjamin Sittler)
389	+ improve warning message from post-load checking for missing "%?"
390	  operator by tic/infocmp by showing the entry name and capability.
391	+ minor formatting improvement to tic/infocmp -f option to ensure
392	  line split after "%;".
393	+ amend scripting for --with-cxx-shared option to handle the debug
394	  library "libncurses++_g.a" (report by Sven Joachim).
395
39620130309
397	+ amend change to toe.c for reading from /dev/zero, to ensure that
398	  there is a buffer for the temporary filename (cf: 20120324).
399	+ regenerated html manpages.
400	+ fix typo in terminfo.head (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20130302).
401	+ updated some autoconf macros:
402	  + CF_ACVERSION_CHECK, from byacc 1.9 20130304
403	  + CF_INTEL_COMPILER, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE from luit 2.0-20130217
404	+ add configure option --with-cxx-shared to permit building
405	  libncurses++ as a shared library when using g++, e.g., the same
406	  limitations as libtool but better integrated with the usual build
407	  configuration (Redhat #911540).
408	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to filter out build-path which was unnecessarily
409	  shown in curses.h (Debian #689131).

41120130302
412	+ add section to terminfo manpage discussing user-defined capabilities.
413	+ update manpage description of NCURSES_NO_SETBUF, explaining why it
414	  is obsolete.
415	+ add a check in waddch_nosync() to ensure that tab characters are
416	  treated as control characters; some broken locales claim they are
417	  printable.
418	+ add some traces to the Windows console driver.
419	+ initialize a temporary array in _nc_mbtowc, needed for some cases
420	  of raw input in MinGW port.
421
42220130218
423	+ correct ifdef on change to lib_twait.c (report by  Werner Fink).
424	+ update config.guess, config.sub
425
42620130216
427	+ modify test/testcurs.c to work with mouse for ncurses as it does for
428	  pdcurses.
429	+ modify test/knight.c to work with mouse for pdcurses as it does for
430	  ncurses.
431	+ modify internal recursion in wgetch() which handles cooked mode to
432	  check if the call to wgetnstr() returned an error.  This can happen
433	  when both nocbreak() and nodelay() are set, for instance (report by
434	  Nils Christopher Brause) (cf: 960418).
435	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
436	  + add a check for valid position in ClearToEOS()
437	  + fix in lib_twait.c when --enable-wgetch-events is used, pointer
438	    use after free.
439	  + improve a limit-check in make_hash.c
440	  + fix a memory leak in hashed_db.c
441
44220130209
443	+ modify test/configure script to make it simpler to override names
444	  of curses-related libraries, to help with linking with pdcurses in
445	  MinGW environment.
446	+ if the --with-terminfo-dirs configure option is not used, there is
447	  no corresponding compiled-in value for that.  Fill in "no default
448	  value" for that part of the manpage substitution.
449
45020130202
451	+ correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make
452	  an incorrect move (cf: 20001028).
453	+ improve documentation of the terminfo/termcap search path.
454
45520130126
456	+ further fixes to mvcur to pass callback function (cf: 20130112),
457	  needed to make test/dots_mvcur work.
458	+ reduce calls to SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer in win_driver.c, to
459	  help reduce flicker.
460	+ modify configure script to omit "+b" from linker options for very
461	  old HP-UX systems (report by Dennis Grevenstein)
462	+ add HP-UX workaround for missing EILSEQ on old HP-UX systems (patch
463	  by Dennis Grevenstein).
464	+ restore memmove/strdup support for antique systems (request by
465	  Dennis Grevenstein).
466	+ change %l behavior in tparm to push the string length onto the stack
467	  rather than saving the formatted length into the output buffer
468	  (report by Roy Marples, cf: 980620).
469
47020130119
471	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
472	  + fix memory leak in safe_sprintf.c
473	  + add check for return-value in tty_update.c
474	  + correct initialization for -s option in test/view.c
475	  + add check for numeric overflow in lib_instr.c
476	  + improve error-checking in copywin
477	+ add advice in infocmp manpage for termcap users (Debian #698469).
478	+ add "-y" option to test/demo_termcap and test/demo_terminfo to
479	  demonstrate behavior with/without extended capabilities.
480	+ updated termcap manpage to document legacy termcap behavior for
481	  matching capability names.
482	+ modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate legacy
483	  applications as well as to improve compatbility with BSD 4.2
484	  termcap implementations (Debian #698299) (cf: 980725).
485
48620130112
487	+ correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts.
488	+ drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they
489	  are unused in the current driver model.
490	+ modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses
491	  library.
492	+ modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage.
493	+ amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level
494	  putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering.
495	  The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674).
496
49720130105
498	+ add "-s" option to test/view.c to allow it to start in single-step
499	  mode, reducing size of trace files when it is used for debugging
500	  MinGW changes.
501	+ revert part of 20121222 change to tinfo_driver.c
502	+ add experimental logic in win_driver.c to improve optimization of
503	  screen updates.  This does not yet work with double-width characters,
504	  so it is ifdef'd out for the moment (prompted by report by Erwin
505	  Waterlander regarding screen flicker).
506
50720121229
508	+ fix coverity warnings regarding copying into fixed-size buffers.
509	+ add throw-declarations in the c++ binding per Coverity warning.
510	+ minor changes to new-items for consistent reference to bug-report
511	  numbers.
512
51320121222
514	+ add *.dSYM directories to clean-rule in ncurses directory makefile,
515	  for Mac OS builds.
516	+ add a configure check for gcc option -no-cpp-precomp, which is not
517	  available in all Mac OS X configurations (report by Andras Salamon,
518	  cf: 20011208).
519	+ improve 20021221 workaround for broken acs, handling a case where
520	  that ACS_xxx character is not in the acsc string but there is a known
521	  wide-character which can be used.
522
52320121215
524	+ fix several warnings from clang 3.1 --analyze, includes correcting
525	  a null-pointer check in _nc_mvcur_resume.
526	+ correct display of double-width characters with MinGW port (report
527	  by Erwin Waterlander).
528	+ replace MinGW's wcrtomb(), fixing a problem with _nc_viscbuf
529	> fixes based on Coverity report:
530	+ correct coloring in test/bs.c
531	+ correct check for 8-bit value in _nc_insert_ch().
532	+ remove dead code in progs/tset.c, test/linedata.h
533	+ add null-pointer checks in lib_tracemse.c, panel.priv.h, and some
534	  test-programs.
535
53620121208
537	+ modify test/knight.c to show the number of choices possible for
538	  each position in automove option, e.g., to allow user to follow
539	  Warnsdorff's rule to solve the puzzle.
540	+ modify test/hanoi.c to show the minimum number of moves possible for
541	  the given number of tiles (prompted by patch by Lucas Gioia).
542	> fixes based on Coverity report:
543	+ remove a few redundant checks.
544	+ correct logic in test/bs.c, when randomly placing a specific type of
545	  ship.
546	+ check return value from remove/unlink in tic.
547	+ check return value from sscanf in test/ncurses.c
548	+ fix a null dereference in c++/cursesw.cc
549	+ fix two instances of uninitialized variables when configuring for the
550	  terminal driver.
551	+ correct scope of variable used in SetSafeOutcWrapper macro.
552	+ set umask when calling mkstemp in tic.
553	+ initialize wbkgrndset() temporary variable when extended-colors are
554	  used.
555
55620121201
557	+ also replace MinGW's wctomb(), fixing a problem with setcchar().
558	+ modify test/view.c to load UTF-8 when built with MinGW by using
559	  regular win32 API because the MinGW functions mblen() and mbtowc()
560	  do not work.
561
56220121124
563	+ correct order of color initialization versus display in some of the
564	  test-programs, e.g., test_addstr.c
565	> fixes based on Coverity report:
566	+ delete windows on exit from some of the test-programs.
567
56820121117
569	> fixes based on Coverity report:
570	+ add missing braces around FreeAndNull in two places.
571	+ various fixes in test/ncurses.c
572	+ improve limit-checks in tinfo/make_hash.c, tinfo/read_entry.c
573	+ correct malloc size in progs/infocmp.c
574	+ guard against negative array indices in test/knight.c
575	+ fix off-by-one limit check in test/color_name.h
576	+ add null-pointer check in progs/tabs.c, test/bs.c, test/demo_forms.c,
577	  test/inchs.c
578	+ fix memory-leak in tinfo/lib_setup.c, progs/toe.c,
579	  test/clip_printw.c, test/demo_menus.c
580	+ delete unused windows in test/chgat.c, test/clip_printw.c,
581	  test/insdelln.c, test/newdemo.c on error-return.
582
58320121110
584	+ modify configure macro CF_INCLUDE_DIRS to put $CPPFLAGS after the
585	  local -I include options in case someone has set conflicting -I
586	  options in $CPPFLAGS (prompted by patch for ncurses/Makefile.in by
587	  Vassili Courzakis).
588	+ modify the ncurses*-config scripts to eliminate relative paths from
589	  the RPATH_LIST variable, e.g., "../lib" as used in installing shared
590	  libraries or executables.
591
59220121102
593	+ realign these related pages:
594	    curs_add_wchstr.3x
595	    curs_addchstr.3x
596	    curs_addstr.3x
597	    curs_addwstr.3x
598	  and fix a long-ago error in curs_addstr.3x which said that a -1
599	  length parameter would only write as much as fit onto one line
600	  (report by Reuben Thomas).
601	+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_memmove() for memmove()/bcopy().
602	+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_strdup() for strdup().
603	+ cancel any debug-rpm in package/ncurses.spec
604	+ reviewed vte-2012, reverted most of the change since it was incorrect
605	  based on testing with tack -TD
606	+ un-cancel the initc in vte-256color, since this was implemented
607	  starting with version 0.20 in 2009 -TD
608
60920121026
610	+ improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
611	  #866989).
612	+ add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.
613	+ updated configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_WITH_PATHLIST.  The
614	  first corrects pattern used for Mac OS X's customization of gcc.
615
61620121017
617	+ fix change to _nc_scroll_optimize(), which incorrectly freed memory
618	  (Redhat #866989).
619
62020121013
621	+ add vte-2012, gnome-2012, making these the defaults for vte/gnome
622	  (patch by Christian Persch).
623
62420121006
625	+ improve CF_GCC_VERSION to work around Debian's customization of gcc
626	  --version message.
627	+ improve configure macros as done in byacc:
628	  + drop 2.13 compatibility; use 2.52.xxxx version only since EMX port
629	    has used that for a while.
630	  + add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE's to allow autoheader to run, i.e.,
631	    for experimental use.
632	  + remove unused configure macros.
633	+ modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
634	  for LIBS_TO_MAKE variable.
635	+ modify configure script to show $PATH_SEPARATOR variable.
636	+ update config.guess, config.sub
637
63820120922
639	+ modify setupterm to set its copy of TERM to "unknown" if configured
640	  for the terminal driver and TERM was null or empty.
641	+ modify treatment of TERM variable for MinGW port to allow explicit
642	  use of the windows console driver by checking if $TERM is set to
643	  "#win32con" or an abbreviation of that.
644	+ undo recent change to fallback definition of vsscanf() to build with
645	  older Solaris compilers (cf: 20120728).
646
64720120908
648	+ add test-screens to test/ncurses to show 256-characters at a time,
649	  to help with MinGW port.
650
65120120903
652	+ simplify varargs logic in lib_printw.c; va_copy is no longer needed
653	  there.
654	+ modifications for MinGW port to make wide-character display usable.
655
65620120902
657	+ regenerate configure script (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20120901).
658
65920120901
660	+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_flush (cf: 20120825).
661	+ fix a case in _nc_scroll_optimize() where the _oldnums_list array
662	  might not be allocated.
663	+ improve comparisons in configure.in for unset shell variables.

666	+ increase size of ncurses' output-buffer, in case of very small
667	  initial screen-sizes.
668	+ fix evaluation of TERMINFO and TERMINFO_DIRS default values as needed
669	  after changes to use --datarootdir (reports by Gabriele Balducci,
670	  Roumen Petrov).
671
67220120825
673	+ change output buffering scheme, using buffer maintained by ncurses
674	  rather than stdio, to avoid problems with SIGTSTP handling (report
675	  by Brian Bloniarz).
676
67720120811
678	+ update autoconf patch to 2.52.20120811, adding --datarootdir
679	  (prompted by discussion with Erwin Waterlander).
680	+ improve description of --enable-reentrant option in README and the
681	  INSTALL file.
682	+ add nsterm-256color, make this the default nsterm -TD
683	+ remove bw from nsterm-bce, per testing with tack -TD
684
68520120804
686	+ update test/configure, adding check for tinfo library.
687	+ improve limit-checks for the getch fifo (report by Werner Fink).
688	+ fix a remaining mismatch between $with_echo and the symbols updated
689	  for CF_DISABLE_ECHO affecting parameters for mk-2nd.awk (report by
690	  Sven Joachim, cf:  20120317).
691	+ modify followup check for pkg-config's library directory in the
692	  --enable-pc-files option to validate syntax (report by Sven Joachim,
693	  cf: 20110716).
694
69520120728
696	+ correct path for ncurses_mingw.h in include/headers, in case build
697	  is done outside source-tree (patch by Roumen Petrov).
698	+ modify some older xterm entries to align with xterm source -TD

703	  in case it happens to be a comma-expression, etc.  (patch by Nick
704	  Black).
705
70620120721
707	+ improved form_request_by_name() and menu_request_by_name().
708	+ eliminate two fixed-size buffers in toe.c
709	+ extend use_tioctl() to have expected behavior when use_env(FALSE) and

713
71420120714
715	+ add use_tioctl() function (adapted from patch by Werner Fink,
716	  Novell #769788):
717
71820120707
719	+ add ncurses_mingw.h to installed headers (prompted by patch by
720	  Juergen Pfeifer).
721	+ clarify return-codes from wgetch() in response to SIGWINCH (prompted
722	  by Novell #769788).
723	+ modify resizeterm() to always push a KEY_RESIZE onto the fifo, even
724	  if screensize is unchanged.  Modify _nc_update_screensize() to push a
725	  KEY_RESIZE if there was a SIGWINCH, even if it does not call
726	  resizeterm().  These changes eliminate the case where a SIGWINCH is
727	  received, but ERR returned from wgetch or wgetnstr because the screen
728	  dimensions did not change (Novell #769788).
729
73020120630
731	+ add --enable-interop to sample package scripts (suggested by Juergen
732	  Pfeifer).
733	+ update CF_PATH_SYNTAX macro, from mawk changes.
734	+ modify mk-0th.awk to allow for generating llib-ltic, etc., though
735	  some work is needed on cproto to work with lib_gen.c to update
736	  llib-lncurses.
737	+ remove redundant getenv() cal in database-iterator leftover from
738	  cleanup in 20120622 changes (report by Sven Joachim).
739
74020120622
741	+ add -d, -e and -q options to test/demo_terminfo and test/demo_termcap
742	+ fix caching of environment variables in database-iterator (patch by
743	  Philippe Troin, Redhat #831366).
744
74520120616
746	+ add configure check to distinguish clang from gcc to eliminate
747	  warnings about unused command-line parameters when compiler warnings
748	  are enabled.
749	+ improve behavior when updating terminfo entries which are hardlinked
750	  by allowing for the possibility that an alias has been repurposed to
751	  a new primary name.
752	+ fix some strict compiler warnings based on package scripts.
753	+ further fixes for configure check for working poll (Debian #676461).
754
75520120608
756	+ fix an uninitialized variable in -c/-n logic for infocmp changes
757	  (cf: 20120526).

759	  by Richard Yao, Gentoo #417613, cf: 20110409)
760	+ correct configure check for working poll, fixing the case where stdin
761	  is redirected, e.g., in rpm/dpkg builds (Debian #676461).
762	+ add rpm- and dpkg-scripts, to test those build-environments.
763	  The resulting packages are used only for testing.
764
76520120602
766	+ add kdch1 aka "Remove" to vt220 and vt220-8 entries -TD
767	+ add kdch1, etc., to qvt108 -TD

769	+ add dl to simpleterm -TD
770	+ add consistency-checks in tic for insert-line vs delete-line
771	  controls, and insert/delete-char keys
772	+ correct no-leaks logic in infocmp when doing comparisons, fixing
773	  duplicate free of entries given via the command-line, and freeing
774	  entries loaded from the last-but-one of files specified on the
775	  command-line.
776	+ add kdch1 to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (reported by David Lord,
777	  analysis by Martin Husemann).
778	+ add cnorm/civis to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (report/analysis by
779	  Onno van der Linden).
780
78120120526
782	+ extend -c and -n options of infocmp to allow comparing more than two
783	  entries.
784	+ correct check in infocmp for number of terminal names when more than
785	  two are given.
786	+ correct typo in curs_threads.3x (report by Yanhui Shen on
787	  freebsd-hackers mailing list).
788
78920120512
790	+ corrected 'op' for bterm (report by Samuel Thibault) -TD
791	+ modify test/background.c to demonstrate a background character
792	  holding a colored ACS_HLINE.  The behavior differs from SVr4 due to
793	  the thick- and double-line extension (cf: 20091003).
794	+ modify handling of acs characters in PutAttrChar to avoid mapping an
795	  unmapped character to a space with A_ALTCHARSET set.
796	+ rewrite vt520 entry based on vt420 -TD
797
79820120505
799	+ remove p6 (bold) from opus3n1+ for consistency -TD
800	+ remove acs stuff from env230 per clues in Ingres termcap -TD
801	+ modify env230 sgr/sgr0 to match other capabilities -TD
802	+ modify smacs/rmacs in bq300-8 to match sgr/sgr0 -TD
803	+ make sgr for dku7202 agree with other caps -TD
804	+ make sgr for ibmpc agree with other caps -TD
805	+ make sgr for tek4107 agree with other caps -TD
806	+ make sgr for ndr9500 agree with other caps -TD

811	+ remove redundant AC_DEFINE for NDEBUG versus Makefile definition.
812	+ fix a back-link in _nc_delink_entry(), which is needed if ncurses is

814
81520120428
816	+ fix some inconsistencies between vt320/vt420, e.g., cnorm/civis -TD
817	+ add eslok flag to dec+sl -TD
818	+ dec+sl applies to vt320 and up -TD
819	+ drop wsl width from xterm+sl -TD
820	+ reuse xterm+sl in putty and nsca-m -TD
821	+ add ansi+tabs to vt520 -TD
822	+ add ansi+enq to vt220-vt520 -TD
823	+ fix a compiler warning in example in ncurses-intro.doc (Paul Waring).
824	+ added paragraph in keyname manpage telling how extended capabilities
825	  are interpreted as key definitions.
826	+ modify tic's check of conflicting key definitions to include extended
827	  capability strings in addition to the existing check on predefined
828	  keys.
829
83020120421
831	+ improve cleanup of temporary files in tic using atexit().
832	+ add msgr to vt420, similar DEC vtXXX entries -TD
833	+ add several missing vt420 capabilities from vt220 -TD
834	+ factor out ansi+pp from several entries -TD
835	+ change xterm+sl and xterm+sl-twm to include only the status-line
836	  capabilities and not "use=xterm", making them more generally useful
837	  as building-blocks -TD
838	+ add dec+sl building block, as example -TD
839
84020120414
841	+ add XT to some terminfo entries to improve usefulness for other
842	  applications than screen, which would like to pretend that xterm's
843	  title is a status-line.  -TD
844	+ change use-clauses in ansi-mtabs, hp2626, and hp2622 based on review
845	  of ordering and overrides -TD
846	+ add consistency check in tic for screen's "XT" capability.
847	+ add section in terminfo.src summarizing the user-defined capabilities
848	  used in that file -TD
849
85020120407
851	+ fix an inconsistency between tic/infocmp "-x" option; tic omits all
852	  non-standard capabilities, while infocmp was ignoring only the user
853	  definable capabilities.
854	+ improve special case in tic parsing of description to allow it to be
855	  followed by terminfo capabilities.  Previously the description had to
856	  be the last field on an input line to allow tic to distinguish
857	  between termcap and terminfo format while still allowing commas to be
858	  embedded in the description.
859	+ correct variable name in gen_edit.sh which broke configurability of
860	  the --with-xterm-kbs option.
861	+ revert 2011-07-16 change to "linux" alias, return to "linux2.2" -TD
862	+ further amend 20110910 change, providing for configure-script
863	  override of the "linux" terminfo entry to install and changing the
864	  default for that to "linux2.2" (Debian #665959).
865
86620120331
867	+ update Ada95/configure to use CF_DISABLE_ECHO (cf: 20120317).
868	+ correct order of use-clauses in st-256color -TD
869	+ modify configure script to look for gnatgcc if the Ada95 binding
870	  is built, in preference to the default gcc/cc (suggested by
871	  Nicolas Boulenguez).
872	+ modify configure script to ensure that the same -On option used for
873	  the C compiler in CFLAGS is used for ADAFLAGS rather than simply
874	  using "-O3" (suggested by Nicolas Boulenguez)
875
87620120324
877	+ amend an old fix so that next_char() exits properly for empty files,
878	  e.g., from reading /dev/null (cf: 20080804).
879	+ modify tic so that it can read from the standard input, or from
880	  a character device.  Because tic uses seek's, this requires writing
881	  the data to a temporary file first (prompted by remark by Sven
882	  Joachim) (cf: 20000923).
883
88420120317
885	+ correct a check made in lib_napms.c, so that terminfo applications
886	  can again use napms() (cf: 20110604).
887	+ add a note in tic.h regarding required casts for ABSENT_BOOLEAN
888	  (cf: 20040327).
889	+ correct scripting for --disable-echo option in test/configure.
890	+ amend check for missing c++ compiler to work when no error is
891	  reported, and no variables set (cf: 20021206).
892	+ add/use configure macro CF_DISABLE_ECHO.
893
89420120310
895	+ fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits.
896	+ use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303).
897	+ improve a limit-check in infocmp.c (Werner Fink):
898
89920120303
900	+ minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation
901	  regarding mapping of \0 to \200
902	+ minor improvement to _nc_copy_termtype(), using memcpy to replace
903	  loops.
904	+ fix no-leaks checking in test/demo_termcap.c to account for multiple
905	  calls to setupterm().
906	+ modified the libgpm change to show previous load as a problem in the
907	  debug-trace.
908	> merge some patches from OpenSUSE rpm (Werner Fink):
909	+ ncurses-5.7-printw.dif, fixes for varargs handling in lib_printw.c
910	+ ncurses-5.7-gpm.dif, do not dlopen libgpm if already loaded by
911	  runtime linker
912	+ ncurses-5.6-fallback.dif, do not free arrays and strings from static
913	  fallback entries
914
91520120228
916	+ fix breakage in tic/infocmp from 20120225 (report by Werner Fink).
917
91820120225
919	+ modify configure script to allow creating dll's for MinGW when
920	  cross-compiling.
921	+ add --enable-string-hacks option to control whether strlcat and
922	  strlcpy may be used.  The same issue applies to OpenBSD's warnings
923	  about snprintf, noting that this function is weakly standardized.
924	+ add configure checks for strlcat, strlcpy and snprintf, to help
925	  reduce bogus warnings with OpenBSD builds.
926	+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 to supply consistent intptr_t declaration
927	  (cf:20111231)
928	+ update config.guess, config.sub
929
93020120218
931	+ correct CF_ETIP_DEFINES configure macro, making it exit properly on
932	  the first success (patch by Pierre Labastie).
933	+ improve configure macro CF_MKSTEMP by moving existence-check for
934	  mkstemp out of the AC_TRY_RUN, to help with cross-compiles.
935	+ improve configure macro CF_FUNC_POLL from luit changes to detect
936	  broken implementations, e.g., with Mac OS X.
937	+ add configure option --with-tparm-arg
938	+ build-fix for MinGW cross-compiling, so that make_hash does not
939	  depend on TTY definition (cf: 20111008).

951	+ make sgr for cygwin, cygwinDBG agree with other caps -TD
952	+ add configure option --with-xterm-kbs to simplify configuration for
953	  Linux versus most other systems.
954
95520120204
956	+ improved tic -D option, avoid making target directory and provide
957	  better diagnostics.
958
95920120128
960	+ add mach-gnu (Debian #614316, patch by Samuel Thibault)
961	+ add mach-gnu-color, tweaks to mach-gnu terminfo -TD

967	+ make sgr for aaa-unk, aaa-rv agree with other caps -TD
968	+ make sgr for avt-ns agree with other caps -TD
969	+ amend fix intended to separate fixups for acsc to allow "tic -cv" to
970	  give verbose warnings (cf:  20110730).
971	+ modify misc/gen-edit.sh to make the location of the tabset directory
972	  consistent with misc/Makefile.in, i.e., using ${datadir}/tabset
973	  (Debian #653435, patch by Sven Joachim).
974
97520120121
976	+ add --with-lib-prefix option to allow configuring for old/new flavors
977	  of OS/2 EMX.
978	+ modify check for gnat version to allow for year, as used in FreeBSD
979	  port.
980	+ modify check_existence() in db_iterator.c to simply check if the
981	  path is a directory or file, according to the need.  Checking for
982	  directory size also gives no usable result with OS/2 (cf: 20120107).
983	+ support OS/2 kLIBC (patch by KO Myung-Han).
984
98520120114
986	+ several improvements to test/movewindow.c (prompted by discussion on
987	  Linux Mint forum):
988	  + modify movement commands to make them continuous
989	  + rewrote the test for mvderwin
990	  + rewrote the test for recursive mvwin
991	+ split-out reusable CF_WITH_NCURSES_ETC macro in test/configure.in
992	+ updated configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, build-fixes for Mac OS X
993	  and OpenBSD.
994	+ regenerated html manpages.
995
99620120107
997	+ various improvments for MinGW (Juergen Pfeifer):
998	  + modify stat() calls to ignore the st_size member
999	  + drop mk-dlls.sh script.
1000	  + change recommended regular expression library.
1001	  + modify rain.c to allow for threaded configuraton.
1002	  + modify tset.c to allow for case when size-change logic is not used.
1003
100420111231
1005	+ modify toe's report when -a and -s options are combined, to add
1006	  a column showing which entries belong to a given database.
1007	+ add -s option to toe, to sort its output.
1008	+ modify progs/toe.c, simplifying use of db-iterator results to use
1009	  caching improvements from 20111001 and 20111126.
1010	+ correct generation of pc-files when ticlib or termlib options are
1011	  given to rename the corresponding tic- or tinfo-libraries (report
1012	  by Sven Joachim).
1013
101420111224
1015	+ document a portability issue with tput, i.e., that scripts which work
1016	  with ncurses may fail in other implementations that do no parameter
1017	  analysis.
1018	+ add putty-sco entry -TD
1019
102020111217
1021	+ review/fix places in manpages where --program-prefix configure option
1022	  was not being used.
1023	+ add -D option to infocmp, to show the database locations that it
1024	  could use.
1025	+ fix build for the special case where term-driver, ticlib and termlib
1026	  are all enabled.  The terminal driver depends on a few features in
1027	  the base ncurses library, so tic's dependencies include both ncurses
1028	  and termlib.
1029	+ fix build work for term-driver when --enable-wgetch-events option is
1030	  enabled.
1031	+ use <stdint.h> types to fix some questionable casts to void*.
1032
103320111210
1034	+ modify configure script to check if thread library provides
1035	  pthread_mutexattr_settype(), e.g., not provided by Solaris 2.6
1036	+ modify configure script to suppress check to define _XOPEN_SOURCE
1037	  for IRIX64, since its header files have a conflict versus
1038	  _SGI_SOURCE.
1039	+ modify configure script to add ".pc" files for tic- and
1040	  tinfo-libraries, which were omitted in recent change (cf: 20111126).
1041	+ fix inconsistent checks on $PKG_CONFIG variable in configure script.
1042
104320111203
1044	+ modify configure-check for etip.h dependencies, supplying a temporary
1045	  copy of ncurses_dll.h since it is a generated file (prompted by
1046	  Debian #646977).
1047	+ modify CF_CPP_PARAM_INIT "main" function to work with current C++.
1048
104920111126
1050	+ correct database iterator's check for duplicate entries
1051	  (cf: 20111001).
1052	+ modify database iterator to ignore $TERMCAP when it is not an
1053	  absolute pathname.
1054	+ add -D option to tic, to show the database locations that it could
1055	  use.
1056	+ improve description of database locations in tic manpage.
1057	+ modify the configure script to generate a list of the ".pc" files to
1058	  generate, rather than deriving the list from the libraries which have
1059	  been built (patch by Mike Frysinger).
1060	+ use AC_CHECK_TOOLS in preference to AC_PATH_PROGS when searching for
1061	  ncurses*-config, e.g., in Ada95/configure and test/configure (adapted
1062	  from patch by Mike Frysinger).
1063
106420111119
1065	+ remove obsolete/conflicting fallback definition for _POSIX_SOURCE
1066	  from curses.priv.h, fixing a regression with IRIX64 and Tru64
1067	  (cf: 20110416)
1068	+ modify _nc_tic_dir() to ensure that its return-value is nonnull,
1069	  i.e., the database iterator was not initialized.  This case is needed
1070	  to when tic is translating to termcap, rather than loading the
1071	  database (cf:  20111001).
1072
107320111112
1074	+ add pccon entries for OpenBSD console (Alexei Malinin).
1075	+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 with gcc 4.2.1, setting _XOPEN_SOURCE to
1076	  600 to work around inconsistent ifdef'ing of wcstof between C and
1077	  C++ header files.
1078	+ modify capconvert script to accept more than exact match on "xterm",
1079	  e.g., the "xterm-*" variants, to exclude from the conversion (patch
1080	  by Robert Millan).
1081	+ add -lc_r as alternative for -lpthread, allows build of threaded code
1082	  in older FreeBSD machines.
1083	+ build-fix for MirBSD, which fails when either _XOPEN_SOURCE or
1084	  _POSIX_SOURCE are defined.
1085	+ fix a typo misc/Makefile.in, used in uninstalling pc-files.
1086
108720111030
1088	+ modify make_db_path() to allow creating "terminfo.db" in the same
1089	  directory as an existing "terminfo" directory.  This fixes a case
1090	  where switching between hashed/filesystem databases would cause the
1091	  new hashed database to be installed in the next best location -
1092	  root's home directory.
1093	+ add variable cf_cv_prog_gnat_correct to those passed to
1094	  config.status, fixing a problem with Ada95 builds (cf: 20111022).
1095	+ change feature test from _XPG5 to _XOPEN_SOURCE in two places, to
1096	  accommodate broken implementations for _XPG6.
1097	+ eliminate usage of NULL symbol from etip.h, to reduce header
1098	  interdependencies.
1099	+ add configure check to decide when to add _XOPEN_SOURCE define to
1100	  compiler options, i.e., for Solaris 10 and later (cf: 20100403).
1101	  This is a workaround for gcc 4.6, which fails to build the c++
1102	  binding if that symbol is defined by the application, due to
1103	  incorrectly combining the corresponding feature test macros
1104	  (report by Peter Kruse).
1105
110620111022
1107	+ correct logic for discarding mouse events, retaining the partial
1108	  events used to build up click, double-click, etc, until needed
1109	  (cf: 20110917).
1110	+ fix configure script to avoid creating unused Ada95 makefile when
1111	  gnat does not work.
1112	+ cleanup width-related gcc 3.4.3 warnings for 64-bit platform, for the
1113	  internal functions of libncurses.  The external interface of courses
1114	  uses bool, which still produces these warnings.
1115
111620111015
1117	+ improve description of --disable-tic-depends option to make it
1118	  clear that it may be useful whether or not the --with-termlib
1119	  option is also given (report by Sven Joachim).
1120	+ amend termcap equivalent for set_pglen_inch to use the X/Open
1121	  "YI" rather than the obsolete Solaris 2.5 "sL" (cf: 990109).
1122	+ improve manpage for tgetent differences from termcap library.
1123
112420111008
1125	+ moved static data from db_iterator.c to lib_data.c
1126	+ modify db_iterator.c for memory-leak checking, fix one leak.
1127	+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to use Requires.private for the parts
1128	  of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the
1129	  other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728).
1130
113120111001
1132	+ modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force
1133	  source-output.  That allows the same flag to control the parser for
1134	  input and output of termcap source.
1135	+ modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line,
1136	  making it consistent with ncurses' parser.
1137	+ restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap
1138	  text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924).
1139	+ modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the
1140	  conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is
1141	  normally following in the source file.  Also improved the warning
1142	  message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem.
1143	+ improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list.
1144
114520110925
1146	+ add a missing "else" in changes to _nc_read_tic_entry().
1147
114820110924
1149	+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() so that hashed-database is checked before
1150	  filesystem.
1151	+ updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
1152	+ modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
1153	  TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
1154	  to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick
1155	  Alcock aka "Nix").
1156	+ build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (cf: 20110917).
1157
115820110917
1159	+ fix compiler warning for clang 2.9
1160	+ improve merging of mouse events (integrated patch by Damien
1161	  Guibouret).
1162	+ correct mask-check used in lib_mouse for wheel mouse buttons 4/5
1163	  (patch by Damien Guibouret).
1164
116520110910
1166	+ modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with
1167	  the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0"
1168	  (cf: 20110716).
1169	+ revert a change to getmouse() which had the undesirable side-effect
1170	  of suppressing button-release events (report by Damien Guibouret,
1171	  cf: 20100102).
1172	+ add xterm+kbs fragment from xterm #272 -TD
1173	+ add configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir to provide control over
1174	  the actual directory into which pc-files are installed, do not use
1175	  the pkg-config environment variables (discussion with Frederic L W
1176	  Meunier).
1177	+ add link to mailing-list archive in announce.html.in, as done in
1178	  FAQ (prompted by question by Andrius Bentkus).
1179	+ improve manpage install by adjusting the "#include" examples to
1180	  show the ncurses-subdirectory used when --disable-overwrite option
1181	  is used.
1182	+ install an alias for "curses" to the ncurses manpage, tied to the
1183	  --with-curses-h configure option (suggested by Reuben Thomas).
1184
118520110903
1186	+ propagate error-returns from wresize, i.e., the internal
1187	  increase_size and decrease_size functions through resize_term (report
1188	  by Tim van der Molen, cf:  20020713).
1189	+ fix typo in tset manpage (patch by Sven Joachim).
1190
119120110820
1192	+ add a check to ensure that termcap files which might have "^?" do
1193	  not use the terminfo interpretation as "\177".
1194	+ minor cleanup of X-terminal emulator section of terminfo.src -TD
1195	+ add terminator entry -TD
1196	+ add simpleterm entry -TD
1197	+ improve wattr_get macros by ensuring that if the window pointer is
1198	  null, then the attribute and color values returned will be zero
1199	  (cf: 20110528).
1200
120120110813
1202	+ add substitution for $RPATH_LIST to misc/ncurses-config.in
1203	+ improve performance of tic with hashed-database by caching the
1204	  database connection, using atexit() to cleanup.
1205	+ modify treatment of 2-character aliases at the beginning of termcap
1206	  entries so they are not counted in use-resolution, since these are
1207	  guaranteed to be unique.  Also ignore these aliases when reporting
1208	  the primary name of the entry (cf: 20040501)
1209	+ double-check gn (generic) flag in terminal descriptions to
1210	  accommodate old/buggy termcap databases which misused that feature.
1211	+ minor fixes to _nc_tgetent(), ensure buffer is initialized even on
1212	  error-return.
1213
121420110807
1215	+ improve rpath fix from 20110730 by ensuring that the new $RPATH_LIST
1216	  variable is defined in the makefiles which use it.
1217	+ build-fix for DragonFlyBSD's pkgsrc in test/configure script.
1218	+ build-fixes for NetBSD 5.1 with termcap support enabled.
1219	+ corrected k9 in dg460-ansi, add other features based on manuals -TD
1220	+ improve trimming of whitespace at the end of terminfo/termcap output
1221	  from tic/infocmp.
1222	+ when writing termcap source, ensure that colons in the description
1223	  field are translated to a non-delimiter, i.e., "=".
1224	+ add "-0" option to tic/infocmp, to make the termcap/terminfo source
1225	  use a single line.
1226	+ add a null-pointer check when handling the $CC variable.
1227
122820110730
1229	+ modify configure script and makefiles in c++ and progs to allow the
1230	  directory used for rpath option to be overridden, e.g., to work
1231	  around updates to the variables used by tic during an install.
1232	+ add -K option to tic/infocmp, to provide stricter BSD-compatibility
1233	  for termcap output.
1234	+ add _nc_strict_bsd variable in tic library which controls the
1235	  "strict" BSD termcap compatibility from 20110723, plus these
1236	  features:
1237	  + allow escapes such as "\8" and "\9" when reading termcap
1238	  + disallow "\a", "\e", "\l", "\s" and "\:" escapes when reading
1239	    termcap files, passing through "a", "e", etc.
1240	  + expand "\:" as "\072" on output.
1241	+ modify _nc_get_token() to reset the token's string value in case
1242	  there is a string-typed token lacking the "=" marker.
1243	+ fix a few memory leaks in _nc_tgetent.
1244	+ fix a few places where reading from a termcap file could refer to
1245	  freed memory.
1246	+ add an overflow check when converting terminfo/termcap numeric
1247	  values, since terminfo stores those in a short, and they must be
1248	  positive.
1249	+ correct internal variables used for translating to termcap "%>"
1250	  feature, and translating from termcap %B to terminfo, needed by
1251	  tctest (cf: 19991211).

1255	  a termcap file to be handled via TERMINFO_DIRS.
1256	+ modify _nc_infotocap() to include non-mandatory padding when
1257	  translating to termcap.
1258	+ modify _nc_read_termcap_entry(), passing a flag in the case where
1259	  getcap is used, to reduce interactive warning messages.
1260
126120110723
1262	+ add a check in start_color() to limit color-pairs to 256 when
1263	  extended colors are not supported (patch by David Benjamin).
1264	+ modify setcchar to omit no-longer-needed OR'ing of color pair in
1265	  the SetAttr() macro (patch by David Benjamin).

1267	+ use bold rather than reverse for smso in sun-color terminfo entry
1268	  (Yuri Pankov).
1269	+ improve generation of termcap using tic/infocmp -C option, e.g.,
1270	  to correspond with 4.2BSD (prompted by discussion with Yuri Pankov
1271	  regarding Schilling's test program):
1272	  + translate %02 and %03 to %2 and %3 respectively.
1273	  + suppress string capabilities which use %s, not supported by tgoto
1274	  + use \040 rather than \s

1293	+ add workaround from xterm #271 changes to ensure that compiler flags
1294	  are not used in the $CC variable.
1295	+ improve support for shared libraries, tested with AIX 5.3, 6.1 and

1301
130220110626
1303	+ move include of nc_termios.h out of term_entry.h, since the latter
1304	  is installed, e.g., for tack while the former is not (report by
1305	  Sven Joachim).
1306
130720110625
1308	+ improve cleanup() function in lib_tstp.c, using _exit() rather than
1309	  exit() and checking for SIGTERM rather than SIGQUIT (prompted by
1310	  comments forwarded by Nicholas Marriott).
1311	+ reduce name pollution from term.h, moving fallback #define's for
1312	  tcgetattr(), etc., to new private header nc_termios.h (report by
1313	  Sergio NNX).
1314	+ two minor fixes for tracing (patch by Vassili Courzakis).

1332	+ add case to CF_SHARED_OPTS for Interix (patch by Markus Duft).
1333	+ used ncurses/link_test to check for behavior when the terminal has
1334	  not been initialized and when an application passes null pointers
1335	  to the library.  Added checks to cover this (prompted by Redhat
1336	  #707344).
1337	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to make its main() function call each function
1338	  with zero parameters, to help find inconsistent checking for null
1339	  pointers, etc.
1340
134120110521
1342	+ fix warnings from clang 2.7 "--analyze"
1343

1352	    help work around weak-symbol issues.
1353
135420110507
1355	+ update discussion of MKfallback.sh script in INSTALL; normally the
1356	  script is used automatically via the configured makefiles.  However
1357	  there are still occasions when it might be used directly by packagers
1358	  (report by Gunter Schaffler).
1359	+ modify misc/ncurses-config.in to omit the "-L" option from the
1360	  "--libs" output if the library directory is /usr/lib.
1361	+ change order of tests for curses.h versus ncurses.h headers in the
1362	  configure scripts for Ada95 and test-directories, to look for
1363	  ncurses.h, from fixes to tin -TD

1365	  (report by Joachim Schmitz).
1366
136720110430
1368	+ modify rules in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to ensure that the PIC option
1369	  is not used when building a static library (report by Nicolas
1370	  Boulenguez):
1371	+ Ada95 build-fix for big-endian architectures such as sparc.  This
1372	  undoes one of the fixes from 20110319, which added an "Unused" member
1373	  to representation clauses, replacing that with pragmas to suppress
1374	  warnings about unused bits (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez):
1375
137620110423
1377	+ add check in test/configure for use_window, use_screen.
1378	+ add configure-checks for getopt's variables, which may be declared

1381	  function pointer passed to tputs().
1382	+ modify init_pair() to accept -1's for color value after
1383	  assume_default_colors() has been called (Debian #337095).
1384	+ modify test/background.c, adding commmand-line options to demonstrate
1385	  assume_default_colors() and use_default_colors().
1386
138720110416
1388	+ modify configure script/source-code to only define _POSIX_SOURCE if
1389	  the checks for sigaction and/or termios fail, and if _POSIX_C_SOURCE
1390	  and _XOPEN_SOURCE are undefined (report by Valentin Ochs).
1391	+ update config.guess, config.sub
1392

1397	  some ncurses packages.
1398	+ add "--disable-widec" option to test/configure script.
1399	+ add "--with-curses-colr" and "--with-curses-5lib" options to the
1400	  test/configure script to address testing with very old machines.
1401
140220110404 5.9 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
1403
140420110402
1405	+ various build-fixes for the rpm/dpkg scripts.
1406	+ add "--enable-rpath-link" option to Ada95/configure, to allow
1407	  packages to suppress the rpath feature which is normally used for
1408	  the in-tree build of sample programs.
1409	+ corrected definition of libdir variable in Ada95/src/Makefile.in,
1410	  needed for rpm script.
1411	+ add "--with-shared" option to Ada95/configure script, to allow
1412	  making the C-language parts of the binding use appropriate compiler
1413	  options if building a shared library with gnat.
1414
141520110329
1416	> portability fixes for Ada95 binding:
1417	+ add configure check to ensure that SIGINT works with gnat.  This is
1418	  needed for the "rain" sample program.  If SIGINT does not work, omit
1419	  that sample program.
1420	+ correct typo in check of $PKG_CONFIG variable in Ada95/configure
1421	+ add ncurses_compat.c, to supply functions used in the Ada95 binding
1422	  which were added in 5.7 and later.
1423	+ modify sed expression in CF_NCURSES_ADDON to eliminate a dependency
1424	  upon GNU sed.
1425

1436	  libraries, i.e., collections of .ali files.
1437	+ make all dereferences in Ada95 samples explicit.
1438	+ fix typo in comment in lib_add_wch.c (patch by Petr Pavlu).
1439	+ add configure check for, ifdef's for math.h which is in a separate
1440	  package on Solaris and potentially not installed (report by Petr
1441	  Pavlu).
1442	> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
1443	+ improve type-checking in Ada95 by eliminating a few warning-suppress
1444	  pragmas.
1445	+ suppress unreferenced warnings.
1446	+ make all dereferences in binding explicit.
1447
144820110319
1449	+ regen Ada html documentation.
1450	+ change order of -I options from ncurses*-config script when the

1452	  is listed first.
1453	+ modify the make-tar.sh scripts to add a MANIFEST and NEWS file.
1454	+ modify configure script to provide value for HTML_DIR in
1455	  Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, which depends on whether the Ada95 binding is
1456	  distributed separately (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
1457	+ modify configure script to add "-g" and/or "-O3" to ADAFLAGS if the
1458	  CFLAGS for the build has these options.
1459	+ amend change from 20070324, to not add 1 to the result of getmaxx
1460	  and getmaxy in the Ada binding (report by Nicolas Boulenguez for
1461	  thread in comp.lang.ada).
1462	+ build-fix Ada95/samples for gnat 4.5
1463	+ spelling fixes for Ada95/samples/explain.txt
1464	> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
1465	+ add item in Trace_Attribute_Set corresponding to TRACE_ATTRS.
1466	+ add workaround for binding to set_field_type(), which uses varargs.
1467	  The original binding from 990220 relied on the prevalent
1468	  implementation of varargs which did not support or need va_copy().
1469	+ add dependency on gen/Makefile.in needed for *-panels.ads
1470	+ add Library_Options to library.gpr
1471	+ add Languages to library.gpr, for gprbuild
1472
147320110307
1474	+ revert changes to limit-checks from 20110122 (Debian #616711).
1475	> minor type-cleanup of Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
1476	+ corrected a minor sign error in a field of Low_Level_Field_Type, to
1477	  conform to form.h.
1478	+ replaced C_Int by Curses_Bool as return type for some callbacks, see
1479	  fieldtype(3FORM).
1480	+ modify samples/sample-explain.adb to provide explicit message when
1481	  explain.txt is not found.
1482
148320110305
1484	+ improve makefiles for Ada95 tree (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
1485	+ fix an off-by-one error in _nc_slk_initialize() from 20100605 fixes
1486	  for compiler warnings (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).

1498	  a new install of hashed database.
1499	+ fix typo in Ada95/mk-1st.awk which causes error with original awk.
1500
150120110220
1502	+ configure script rpath fixes from xterm #269.

151420110205
1515	+ add xterm-utf8 entry as a demo of the U8 feature -TD
1516	+ add U8 feature to denote entries for terminal emulators which do not
1517	  support VT100 SI/SO when processing UTF-8 encoding -TD
1518	+ improve the NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS feature by adding a check for an
1519	  extended terminfo capability U8 (prompted by mailing list

1567	+ correct help-messages in some of the test-programs, which still
1568	  referred to quitting with 'q'.
1569
157020101204
1571	+ add special case to _nc_infotocap() to recognize the setaf/setab

1578
157920101128
1580	+ modify test/configure and test/Makefile.in to handle this special

1589
159020101120
1591	+ improve checks in test/configure for X libraries, from xterm #267
1592	  changes.
1593	+ modify test/configure to allow it to use the build-tree's libraries
1594	  e.g., when using that to configure the test-programs without the
1595	  rpath feature (request by Sven Joachim).
1596	+ repurpose "gnome" terminfo entries as "vte", retaining "gnome" items
1597	  for compatibility, but generally deprecating those since the VTE
1598	  library is what actually defines the behavior of "gnome", etc.,
1599	  since 2003 -TD

160120101113
1602	+ compiler warning fixes for test programs.

1616	  Philip Ganchev).
1617	+ adjust configure script so that "t" is not added to library suffix

1619	  more closely match the non-thread naming (report by Werner Fink).
1620	+ modify configure check for tic program, used for fallbacks, to a
1621	  warning if not found.  This makes it simpler to use additonal

1642	  inconsistent printer-controls.
1643	+ fill in no-parameter forms of cursor-movement where a parameterized
1644	  form is available -TD
1645	+ fill in missing cursor controls where the form of the controls is
1646	  ANSI -TD

1648	  Sven Joachim).
1649	+ add parameterized cursor-controls to linux-basic (report by Dae) -TD

1658
165920100925
1660	+ add "XT" capability to entries for terminals that support both
1661	  xterm-style mouse- and title-controls, for "screen" which
1662	  special-cases TERM beginning with "xterm" or "rxvt" -TD

1740	+ add hard-reset for rs2 to wsvt25 to help ensure that reset ends
1741	  the alternate character set (patch by Nicholas Marriott)
1742	+ remove tar-copy.sh and related configure/Makefile chunks, since the

175520100619
1756	+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
1757	  + add configure --with-ada-sharedlib option, for the test_make rule.
1758	  + move Ada95-related logic into aclocal.m4, since additional checks

1762	+ start integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95 tree
1763	  + add test_make / test_clean / test_install rules in Ada95/src

1785
178620100522
1787	+ correct cross-compiling configure check for CF_MKSTEMP macro, by
1788	  adding a check cache variable set by AC_CHECK_FUNC (report by
1789	  Pierre Labastie).
1790	+ simplify include-dependencies of make_hash and make_keys, to reduce
1791	  the need for setting BUILD_CPPFLAGS in cross-compiling when the
1792	  build- and target-machines differ.

1797	  variable to override (prompted by report by Pablo Cazallas).
1798
179920100515
1800	+ add configure option --enable-pthreads-eintr to control whether the
1801	  new EINTR feature is enabled.
1802	+ modify logic in pthread configuration to allow EINTR to interrupt
1803	  a read operation in wgetch() (Novell #540571, patch by Werner Fink).
1804	+ drop mkdirs.sh, use "mkdir -p".
1805	+ add configure option --disable-libtool-version, to use the
1806	  "-version-number" feature which was added in libtool 1.5 (report by
1807	  Peter Haering).  The default value for the option uses the newer
1808	  feature, which makes libraries generated using libtool compatible
1809	  with the standard builds of ncurses.
1810	+ updated test/configure to match configure script macros.
1811	+ fixes for configure script from lynx changes:
1812	  + improve CF_FIND_LINKAGE logic for the case where a function is
1813	    found in predefined libraries.
1814	  + revert part of change to CF_HEADER (cf: 20100424)
1815
181620100501
1817	+ correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for begy/begx values
1818	  (patch by David Benjamin).
1819	+ fix most compiler warnings from clang.
1820	+ amend build-fix for OpenSolaris, to ensure that a system header is
1821	  included in curses.h before testing feature symbols, since they
1822	  may be defined by that route.
1823
182420100424
1825	+ fix some strict compiler warnings in ncurses library.
1826	+ modify configure macro CF_HEADER_PATH to not look for variations in
1827	  the predefined include directories.
1828	+ improve configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GCC_WARNINGS to work
1829	  with gcc 4.x's c89 alias, which gives warning messages for cases
1830	  where older versions would produce an error.
1831
183220100417
1833	+ modify _nc_capcmp() to work with cancelled strings.
1834	+ correct translation of "^" in _nc_infotocap(), used to transform
1835	  terminfo to termcap strings
1836	+ add configure --disable-rpath-hack, to allow disabling the feature
1837	  which adds rpath options for libraries in unusual places.
1838	+ improve CF_RPATH_HACK_2 by checking if the rpath option for a given
1839	  directory was already added.
1840	+ improve CF_RPATH_HACK_2 by using ldd to provide a standard list of
1841	  directories (which will be ignored).
1842
184320100410
1844	+ improve win_driver.c handling of mouse:
1845	  + discard motion events
1846	  + avoid calling _nc_timed_wait when there is a mouse event
1847	  + handle 4th and "rightmost" buttons.
1848	+ quote substitutions in CF_RPATH_HACK_2 configure macro, needed for
1849	  cases where there are embedded blanks in the rpath option.
1850
185120100403
1852	+ add configure check for exctags vs ctags, to work around pkgsrc.
1853	+ simplify logic in _nc_get_screensize() to make it easier to see how
1854	  environment variables may override system- and terminfo-values
1855	  (prompted by discussion with Igor Bujna).
1856	+ make debug-traces for COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER less verbose.
1857	+ improve handling of color-pairs embedded in attributes for the
1858	  extended-colors configuration.
1859	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to build link_test with sp-funcs.
1860	+ build-fixes for OpenSolaris aka Solaris 11, for wide-character
1861	  configuration as well as for rpath feature in *-config scripts.
1862
186320100327
1864	+ refactor CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro, making CF_RPATH_HACK more
1865	  reusable.
1866	+ improve configure CF_REGEX, similar fixes.
1867	+ improve configure CF_FIND_LINKAGE, adding add check between system
1868	  (default) and explicit paths, where we can find the entrypoint in the
1869	  given library.
1870	+ add check if Gpm_Open() returns a -2, e.g., for "xterm".  This is
1871	  normally suppressed but can be overridden using $NCURSES_GPM_TERMS.
1872	  Ensure that Gpm_Close() is called in this case.
1873
187420100320
1875	+ rename atari and st52 terminfo entries to atari-old, st52-old, use
1876	  newer entries from FreeMiNT by Guido Flohr (from patch/report by Alan
1877	  Hourihane).
1878
187920100313
1880	+ modify install-rule for manpages so that *-config manpages will
1881	  install when building with --srcdir (report by Sven Joachim).
1882	+ modify CF_DISABLE_LEAKS configure macro so that the --enable-leaks
1883	  option is not the same as --disable-leaks (GenToo #305889).
1884	+ modify #define's for build-compiler to suppress cchar_t symbol from
1885	  compile of make_hash and make_keys, improving cross-compilation of
1886	  ncursesw (report by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
1887	+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to replace all occurrences of
1888	  TPUT in tput.1's manpage (Debian #573597, report/analysis by Anders
1889	  Kaseorg).
1890
189120100306
1892	+ generate manpages for the *-config scripts, adapted from help2man
1893	  (suggested by Sven Joachim).
1894	+ use va_copy() in _nc_printf_string() to avoid conflicting use of
1895	  va_list value in _nc_printf_length() (report by Wim Lewis).
1896

1898	+ add Ada95/configure script, to use in tar-file created by
1899	  Ada95/make-tar.sh
1900	+ fix typo in wresize.3x (patch by Tim van der Molen).
1901	+ modify screen-bce.XXX entries to exclude ech, since screen's color

1903
190420100220
1905	+ add make-tar.sh scripts to Ada95 and test subdirectories to help with
1906	  making those separately distributable.
1907	+ build-fix for static libraries without dlsym (Debian #556378).
1908	+ fix a syntax error in man/form_field_opts.3x (patch by Ingo
1909	  Schwarze).
1910
191120100213
1912	+ add several screen-bce.XXX entries -TD
1913
191420100206
1915	+ update mrxvt terminfo entry -TD
1916	+ modify win_driver.c to support mouse single-clicks.
1917	+ correct name for termlib in ncurses*-config, e.g., if it is renamed
1918	  to provide a single file for ncurses/ncursesw libraries (patch by
1919	  Miroslav Lichvar).
1920
192120100130

1926
192720100123
1928	+ for term-driver configuration, ensure that the driver pointer is
1929	  initialized in setupterm so that terminfo/termcap programs work.
1930	+ amend fix for Debian #542031 to ensure that wattrset() returns only
1931	  OK or ERR, rather than the attribute value (report by Miroslav
1932	  Lichvar).
1933	+ reorder WINDOWLIST to put WINDOW data after SCREEN pointer, making
1934	  _nc_screen_of() compatible between normal/wide libraries again (patch
1935	  by Miroslav Lichvar)
1936	+ review/fix include-dependencies in modules files (report by Miroslav
1937	  Lichvar).
1938
193920100116
1940	+ modify win_driver.c to initialize acs_map for win32 console, so
1941	  that line-drawing works.
1942	+ modify win_driver.c to initialize TERMINAL struct so that programs
1943	  such as test/lrtest.c and test/ncurses.c which test string
1944	  capabilities can run.
1945	+ modify term-driver modules to eliminate forward-reference
1946	  declarations.
1947
194820100109
1949	+ modify configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., to use CF_ADD_CFLAGS
1950	  consistently to add new -D's while removing duplicates.

1958
195920100102
1960	+ minor improvement to tic's checking of similar SGR's to allow for the
1961	  most common case of SGR 0.
1962	+ modify getmouse() to act as its documentation implied, returning on
1963	  each call the preceding event until none are left.  When no more
1964	  events remain, it will return ERR.
1965
196620091227
1967	+ change order of lookup in progs/tput.c, looking for terminfo data
1968	  first.  This fixes a confusion between termcap "sg" and terminfo
1969	  "sgr" or "sgr0", originally from 990123 changes, but exposed by
1970	  20091114 fixes for hashing.  With this change, only "dl" and "ed" are
1971	  ambiguous (Mandriva #56272).
1972
197320091226

1981	  (report by Katarina Machalkova).
1982	+ improve test/ncurses.c to put mouse droppings in the proper window.
1983	+ update minix terminfo entry -TD
1984	+ add bw (auto-left-margin) to nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler)
1985
198620091212
1987	+ correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
1988	  field_buffer(), which stopped at the end of the first row due to
1989	  filling of unused entries in a cchar_t array with nulls.
1990	+ updated nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler, Emanuele Giaquinta)
1991	+ modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to show wide-character
1992	  nulls.
1993	+ use strdup() in set_menu_mark(), restore .marklen struct member on
1994	  failure.
1995	+ eliminate clause 3 from the UCB copyrights in read_termcap.c and

2006	  wide-character configured by set_field_buffer (patch by Rafael
2007	  Garrido Fernandez)
2008	+ improve some limit-checks related to filename length in reading and
2009	  writing terminfo entries.
2010	+ ensure that filename is always filled in when attempting to read
2011	  a terminfo entry, so that infocmp can report the filename (patch
2012	  by Nicholas Marriott).
2013
201420091128
2015	+ modify mk-1st.awk to allow tinfo library to be built when term-driver
2016	  is enabled.
2017	+ add error-check to configure script to ensure that sp-funcs is
2018	  enabled if term-driver is, since some internal interfaces rely upon
2019	  this.
2020
202120091121
2022	+ fix case where progs/tput is used while sp-funcs is configure; this
2023	  requires save/restore of out-character function from _nc_prescreen
2024	  rather than the SCREEN structure (report by Charles Wilson).
2025	+ fix typo in man/curs_trace.3x which caused incorrect symbolic links
2026	+ improved configure macros CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_PROG_LINT.
2027

2029
2030	+ updated man/curs_trace.3x
2031	+ limit hashing for termcap-names to 2-characters (Ubuntu #481740).
2032	+ change a variable name in lib_newwin.c to make it clearer which
2033	  value is being freed on error (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
2034
203520091107
2036	+ improve test/ncurses.c color-cycling test by reusing attribute-
2037	  and color-cycling logic from the video-attributes screen.
2038	+ add ifdef'd with NCURSES_INTEROP_FUNCS experimental bindings in form
2039	  library which help make it compatible with interop applications
2040	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
2041	+ add configure option --enable-interop, for integrating changes
2042	  for generic/interop support to form-library by Juergen Pfeifer
2043
204420091031
2045	+ modify use of $CC environment variable which is defined by X/Open
2046	  as a curses feature, to ignore it if it is not a single character
2047	  (prompted by discussion with Benjamin C W Sittler).
2048	+ add START_TRACE in slk_init
2049	+ fix a regression in _nc_ripoffline which made test/ncurses.c not show
2050	  soft-keys, broken in 20090927 merging.

2058	+ quiet some pedantic gcc warnings.
2059	+ modify _nc_wgetch() to check for a -1 in the fifo, e.g., after a
2060	  SIGWINCH, and discard that value, to avoid confusing application
2061	  (patch by Eygene Ryabinkin, FreeBSD bin/136223).
2062
206320091017
2064	+ modify handling of $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to use only the first item in
2065	  a possibly colon-separated list (Debian #550716).
2066
206720091010
2068	+ supply a null-terminator to buffer in _nc_viswibuf().
2069	+ fix a sign-extension bug in unget_wch() (report by Mike Gran).
2070	+ minor fixes to error-returns in default function for tputs, as well
2071	  as in lib_screen.c

2085	  that module since 20090711 is in libtinfo.
2086	+ add configure option --enable-term-driver, to allow compiling with
2087	  terminal-driver.  That is used in MinGW port, and (being somewhat
2088	  more complicated) is an experimental alternative to the conventional
2089	  termlib internals.  Currently, it requires the sp-funcs feature to
2090	  be enabled.
2091	+ completed integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer in ncurses
2092	  library (some work remains for forms library).
2093
209420090919
2095	+ document return code from define_key (report by Mike Gran).

2100	+ change ncv and op capabilities in sun-color terminfo entry to match
2101	  Sun's entry for this (report by Laszlo Peter).
2102	+ improve interix smso terminfo capability by using reverse rather than
2103	  bold (report by Kristof Zelechovski).
2104
210520090912
2106	+ add some test programs (and make these use the same special keys
2107	  by sharing linedata.h functions):
2108	  test/test_addstr.c
2109	  test/test_addwstr.c
2110	  test/test_addchstr.c
2111	  test/test_add_wchstr.c
2112	+ correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when
2113	  inserting wide characters, since the wins_wch() function that it used
2114	  did not update the cursor position (report by Ciprian Craciun).
2115
211620090906
2117	+ fix typo s/is_timeout/is_notimeout/ which made "man is_notimeout" not
2118	  work.
2119	+ add null-pointer checks to other opaque-functions.
2120	+ add is_pad() and is_subwin() functions for opaque access to WINDOW
2121	  (discussion with Mark Dickinson).
2122	+ correct merge to lib_newterm.c, which broke when sp-funcs was
2123	  enabled.
2124
212520090905
2126	+ build-fix for building outside source-tree (report by Sven Joachim).
2127	+ fix Debian lintian warning for man/tabs.1 by making section number
2128	  agree with file-suffix (report by Sven Joachim).
2129	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
2130
213120090829
2132	+ workaround for bug in g++ 4.1-4.4 warnings for wattrset() macro on
2133	  amd64 (Debian #542031).
2134	+ fix typo in curs_mouse.3x (Debian #429198).
2135
213620090822
2137	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
2138
213920090815
2140	+ correct use of terminfo capabilities for initializing soft-keys,
2141	  broken in 20090509 merging.
2142	+ modify wgetch() to ensure it checks SIGWINCH when it gets an error
2143	  in non-blocking mode (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
2144	+ use PATH_SEPARATOR symbol when substituting into run_tic.sh, to
2145	  help with builds on non-Unix platforms such as OS/2 EMX.
2146	+ modify scripting for misc/run_tic.sh to test configure script's
2147	  $cross_compiling variable directly rather than comparing host/build
2148	  compiler names (prompted by comment in GenToo #249363).
2149	+ fix configure script option --with-database, which was coded as an
2150	  enable-type switch.
2151	+ build-fixes for --srcdir (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
2152
215320090808
2154	+ separate _nc_find_entry() and _nc_find_type_entry() from
2155	  implementation details of hash function.
2156
215720090803
2158	+ add tabs.1 to man/man_db.renames
2159	+ modify lib_addch.c to compensate for removal of wide-character test
2160	  from unctrl() in 20090704 (Debian #539735).
2161
216220090801
2163	+ improve discussion in INSTALL for use of system's tic/infocmp for
2164	  cross-compiling and building fallbacks.
2165	+ modify test/demo_termcap.c to correspond better to options in
2166	  test/demo_terminfo.c
2167	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
2168	+ fix logic for 'V' in test/ncurses.c tests f/F.
2169
217020090728
2171	+ correct logic in tigetnum(), which caused tput program to treat all
2172	  string capabilities as numeric (report by Rajeev V Pillai,
2173	  cf: 20090711).
2174
217520090725
2176	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
2177
217820090718
2179	+ fix a null-pointer check in _nc_format_slks() in lib_slk.c, from
2180	  20070704 changes.
2181	+ modify _nc_find_type_entry() to use hashing.
2182	+ make CCHARW_MAX value configurable, noting that changing this would
2183	  change the size of cchar_t, and would be ABI-incompatible.
2184	+ modify test-programs, e.g,.  test/view.c, to address subtle
2185	  differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX getcchar() return
2186	  values.
2187	+ modify length returned by getcchar() to count the trailing null
2188	  which is documented in X/Open (cf: 20020427).
2189	+ fixes for test programs to build/work on HPUX and AIX, etc.
2190
219120090711
2192	+ improve performance of tigetstr, etc., by using hashing code from tic.
2193	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking.
2194	+ add test/demo_terminfo, for comparison with demo_termcap
2195
219620090704
2197	+ remove wide-character checks from unctrl() (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
2198	+ revise wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to eliminate dependency on
2199	  unctrl().
2200	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
2201
220220090627
2203	+ update llib-lncurses[wt] to use sp-funcs.
2204	+ various code-fixes to build/work with --disable-macros configure
2205	  option.
2206	+ add several new files from Juergen Pfeifer which will be used when

2208	  MinGW.
2209
221020090613
2211	+ move definition for NCURSES_WRAPPED_VAR back to ncurses_dll.h, to
2212	  make includes of term.h without curses.h work (report by "Nix").
2213	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
2214
221520090607
2216	+ fix a regression in lib_tputs.c, from ongoing merges.
2217
221820090606
2219	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
2220
222120090530
2222	+ fix an infinite recursion when adding a legacy-coding 8-bit value
2223	  using insch() (report by Clemens Ladisch).

2231	+ work around antique BSD game's manipulation of stdscr, etc., versus
2232	  SCREEN's copy of the pointer (Debian #528411).
2233	+ add a cast to wattrset macro to avoid compiler warning when comparing
2234	  its result against ERR (adapted from patch by Matt Kraii, Debian
2235	  #528374).
2236
223720090510
2238	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
2239
224020090502
2241	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
2242	+ add vwmterm terminfo entry (patch by Bryan Christ).
2243
224420090425
2245	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
2246
224720090419
2248	+ build fix for _nc_free_and_exit() change in 20090418 (report by

225120090418
2252	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
2253
225420090411
2255	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
2256	  This change finishes merging for menu and panel libraries, does
2257	  part of the form library.
2258
225920090404
2260	+ suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on
2261	  Darwin (report by Nelson Beebe).
2262
226320090328
2264	+ extend ansi.sys pfkey capability from kf1-kf10 to kf1-kf48, moving
2265	  function key definitions from emx-base for consistency -TD
2266	+ correct missing final 'p' in pfkey capability of ansi.sys-old (report
2267	  by Kalle Olavi Niemitalo).
2268	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'F' test, show combining characters in color.
2269	+ quiet a false report by cppcheck in c++/cursesw.cc by eliminating
2270	  a temporary variable.
2271	+ use _nc_doalloc() rather than realloc() in a few places in ncurses
2272	  library to avoid leak in out-of-memory condition (reports by William
2273	  Egert and Martin Ettl based on cppcheck tool).
2274	+ add --with-ncurses-wrap-prefix option to test/configure (discussion
2275	  with Charles Wilson).
2276	+ use ncurses*-config scripts if available for test/configure.
2277	+ update test/aclocal.m4 and test/configure
2278	> patches by Charles Wilson:
2279	+ modify CF_WITH_LIBTOOL configure check to allow unreleased libtool
2280	  version numbers (e.g.  which include alphabetic chars, as well as
2281	  digits, after the final '.').
2282	+ improve use of -no-undefined option for libtool by setting an
2283	  intermediate variable LT_UNDEF in the configure script, and then
2284	  using that in the libtool link-commands.
2285	+ fix an missing use of NCURSES_PUBLIC_VAR() in tinfo/MKcodes.awk
2286	  from 2009031 changes.
2287	+ improve mk-1st.awk script by writing separate cases for the
2288	  LIBTOOL_LINK command, depending on which library (ncurses, ticlib,
2289	  termlib) is to be linked.
2290	+ modify configure.in to allow broken-linker configurations, not just
2291	  enable-reentrant, to set public wrap prefix.
2292
229320090321
2294	+ add TICS_LIST and SHLIB_LIST to allow libtool 2.2.6 on Cygwin to
2295	  build with tic and term libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).
2296	+ add -no-undefined option to libtool for Cygwin, MinGW, U/Win and AIX
2297	  (report by Charles Wilson).
2298	+ fix definition for c++/Makefile.in's SHLIB_LIST, which did not list
2299	  the form, menu or panel libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).
2300	+ add configure option --with-wrap-prefix to allow setting the prefix
2301	  for functions used to wrap global variables to something other than
2302	  "_nc_" (discussion with Charles Wilson).
2303
230420090314
2305	+ modify scripts to generate ncurses*-config and pc-files to add
2306	  dependency for tinfo library (patch by Charles Wilson).
2307	+ improve comparison of program-names when checking for linked flavors
2308	  such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix (reports by Charles
2309	  Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing
2310	  list).
2311	+ suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on
2312	  Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static libc, and
2313	  does not switch back to dynamic mode before finishing the libraries
2314	  (reports by Joel Bertrand, Alan Pae).
2315	+ minor fixes to Intel compiler warning checks in configure script.
2316	+ modify _nc_leaks_tinfo() so leak-checking in test/railroad.c works.
2317	+ modify set_curterm() to make broken-linker configuration work with
2318	  changes from 20090228 (report by Charles Wilson).
2319
232020090228
2321	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
2322	+ modify declaration of cur_term when broken-linker is used, but
2323	  enable-reentrant is not, to match pre-5.7 (report by Charles Wilson).
2324
232520090221
2326	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
2327
232820090214
2329	+ add configure script --enable-sp-funcs to enable the new set of
2330	  extended functions.
2331	+ start integrating patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
2332	  + add extended functions which specify the SCREEN pointer for several
2333	    curses functions which use the global SP (these are incomplete;
2334	    some internals work is needed to complete these).
2335	  + add special cases to configure script for MinGW port.
2336
233720090207
2338	+ update several configure macros from lynx changes
2339	  + append (not prepend) to CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS
2340	  + change variable from PATHSEP to PATH_SEPARATOR
2341	+ improve install-rules for pc-files (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
2342	  + make it work with $DESTDIR
2343	  + create the pkg-config library directory if needed.
2344
234520090124
2346	+ modify init_pair() to allow caller to create extra color pairs beyond
2347	  the color_pairs limit, which use default colors (request by Emanuele
2348	  Giaquinta).
2349	+ add misc/terminfo.tmp and misc/*.pc to "sources" rule.
2350	+ fix typo "==" where "=" is needed in ncurses-config.in and
2351	  gen-pkgconfig.in files (Debian #512161).
2352
235320090117
2354	+ add -shared option to MK_SHARED_LIB when -Bsharable is used, for
2355	  *BSD's, without which "main" might be one of the shared library's
2356	  dependencies (report/analysis by Ken Dickey).
2357	+ modify waddch_literal(), updating line-pointer after a multicolumn
2358	  character is found to not fit on the current row, and wrapping is
2359	  done.  Since the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped
2360	  multicolumn character was written to the beginning of the current row
2361	  (cf: 20041023, reported by "Nick" regarding problem with ncmpc
2362	  http://musicpd.org/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1930).
2363
236420090110
2365	+ add screen.Eterm terminfo entry (GenToo #124887) -TD
2366	+ modify adacurses-config to look for ".ali" files in the adalib
2367	  directory.
2368	+ correct install for Ada95, which omitted libAdaCurses.a used in
2369	  adacurses-config
2370	+ change install for adacurses-config to provide additional flavors
2371	  such as adacursesw-config, for ncursesw (GenToo #167849).
2372
237320090105
2374	+ remove undeveloped feature in ncurses-config.in for setting
2375	  prefix variable.
2376	+ recent change to ncurses-config.in did not take into account the
2377	  --disable-overwrite option, which sets $includedir to the
2378	  subdirectory and using just that for a -I option does not work - fix
2379	  (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
2380
238120090104
2382	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to eliminate a dependency on rpath when
2383	  deciding whether to add $LIBS to --libs output; that should be shown
2384	  for the ncurses and tinfo libraries without taking rpath into
2385	  account.
2386	+ fix an overlooked change from $AR_OPTS to $ARFLAGS in mk-1st.awk,
2387	  used in static libraries (report by Marty Jack).
2388
238920090103
2390	+ add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
2391	  CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris (report by Dagobert Michelsen).
2392	+ add configure --with-pkg-config and --enable-pc-files options, along
2393	  with misc/gen-pkgconfig.in which can be used to generate ".pc" files
2394	  for pkg-config (request by Jan Engelhardt).
2395	+ use $includedir symbol in misc/ncurses-config.in, add --includedir
2396	  option.
2397	+ change makefiles to use $ARFLAGS rather than $AR_OPTS, provide a
2398	  configure check to detect whether a "-" is needed before "ar"
2399	  options.
2400	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2401		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
2402
240320081227
2404	+ modify mk-1st.awk to work with extra categories for tinfo library.
2405	+ modify configure script to allow building shared libraries with gcc
2406	  on AIX 5 or 6 (adapted from patch by Lital Natan).
2407
240820081220
2409	+ modify to omit the opaque-functions from lib_gen.o when
2410	  --disable-ext-funcs is used.
2411	+ add test/clip_printw.c to illustrate how to use printw without
2412	  wrapping.
2413	+ modify ncurses 'F' test to demo wborder_set() with colored lines.
2414	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder() with colored lines.
2415
241620081213
2417	+ add check for failure to open hashed-database needed for db4.6
2418	  (GenToo #245370).
2419	+ corrected --without-manpages option; previous change only suppressed
2420	  the auxiliary rules install.man and uninstall.man
2421	+ add case for FreeMINT to configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE (patch from
2422	  GenToo #250454).
2423	+ fixes from NetBSD port at
2424	  http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/patches
2425	  patch-ac (build-fix for DragonFly)
2426	  patch-ae (use INSTALL_SCRIPT for installing misc/ncurses*-config).
2427	+ improve configure script macros CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_LIBRARY_PATH
2428	  by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS values to the
2429	  search-lists.
2430	+ correct title string for keybound manpage (patch by Frederic Culot,
2431	  OpenBSD documentation/6019),
2432
243320081206
2434	+ move del_curterm() call from _nc_freeall() to _nc_leaks_tinfo() to
2435	  work for progs/clear, progs/tabs, etc.
2436	+ correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character
2437	  set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran).
2438	+ add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather
2439	  than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that
2440	  ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue
2441	  was xterm's alternate screen feature).
2442	+ add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a
2443	  zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717,
2444	  adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault).
2445
244620081129
2447	+ improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control
2448	  character is found.  The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to
2449	  obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not
2450	  passing color or video attributes.
2451	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl() more consistently to
2452	  display meta-characters.
2453	+ turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h
2454	+ add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD
2455	+ correct use of key_name() in test/ncurses.c 'A' test, which only
2456	  displays wide-characters, not key-codes since 20070612 (report by
2457	  Ricardo Cantu).
2458
245920081122
2460	+ change _nc_has_mouse() to has_mouse(), reflect its use in C++ and
2461	  Ada95 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
2462	+ document in TO-DO an issue with Cygwin's package for GNAT (report
2463	  by Mike Dennison).
2464	+ improve error-checking of command-line options in "tabs" program.
2465
246620081115
2467	+ change several terminfo entries to make consistent use of ANSI
2468	  clear-all-tabs -TD
2469	+ add "tabs" program (prompted by Debian #502260).
2470	+ add configure --without-manpages option (request by Mike Frysinger).
2471
247220081102 5.7 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
2473
247420081025
2475	+ add a manpage to discuss memory leaks.
2476	+ add support for shared libraries for QNX (other than libtool, which
2477	  does not work well on that platform).
2478	+ build-fix for QNX C++ binding.
2479
248020081018
2481	+ build-fixes for OS/2 EMX.
2482	+ modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
2483	  in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris (report by
2484	  Nit Khair).
2485	+ modify configure script to assume --without-hashed-db when
2486	  --disable-database is used.
2487	+ add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating source-files
2488	  to force earlier exit if the build environment fails unexpectedly
2489	  (prompted by patch by Adrian Bunk).
2490	+ change configure script to use CF_UTF8_LIB, improved variant of
2491	  CF_LIBUTF8.
2492
249320081012
2494	+ add teraterm4.59 terminfo entry, use that as primary teraterm entry, rename
2495	  original to teraterm2.3 -TD
2496	+ update "gnome" terminfo to 2.22.3 -TD
2497	+ update "konsole" terminfo to 1.6.6, needs today's fix for tic -TD
2498	+ add "aterm" terminfo -TD
2499	+ add "linux2.6.26" terminfo -TD
2500	+ add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined capabilities,
2501	  overlooked til now.
2502
250320081011
2504	+ regenerated html documentation.
2505	+ add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
2506	  the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
2507	+ correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
2508	+ document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
2509	+ fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
2510	+ add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
2511	  tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
2512	  20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
2513
251420081004
2515	+ some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
2516	  works for C/C++ parts).
2517	+ improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
2518	  AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
2519
252020080927
2521	+ fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
2522	  strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
2523	+ fix build for --disable-sigwinch
2524	+ add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
2525	  GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
2526	+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
2527	  "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
2528	  that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
2529	+ reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
2530	  Miroslav Lichvar).
2531	+ fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
2532	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
2533	+ use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.
2534	+ discard internal symbol _nc_slk_format (unused since 20080112).
2535	+ move call of slk_paint_info() from _nc_slk_initialize() to
2536	  slk_intern_refresh(), improving initialization.
2537
253820080925
2539	+ fix bug in mouse code for GPM from 20080920 changes (reported in
2540	  Debian #500103, also Miroslav Lichvar).
2541
254220080920
2543	+ fix shared-library rules for cygwin with tic- and tinfo-libraries.
2544	+ fix a memory leak when failure to connect to GPM.
2545	+ correct check for notimeout() in wgetch() (report on linux.redhat
2546	  newsgroup by FurtiveBertie).
2547	+ add an example warning-suppression file for valgrind,
2548	  misc/ncurses.supp (based on example from Reuben Thomas)
2549
255020080913
2551	+ change shared-library configuration for OpenBSD, make rpath work.
2552	+ build-fixes for using libutf8, e.g., on OpenBSD 3.7
2553
255420080907
2555	+ corrected fix for --enable-weak-symbols (report by Frederic L W
2556	  Meunier).
2557
255820080906
2559	+ corrected gcc options for building shared libraries on IRIX64.
2560	+ add configure check for awk programs unable to handle big-strings,
2561	  use that to improve the default for --enable-big-strings option.
2562	+ makefile-fixes for --enable-weak-symbols (report by Frederic L W
2563	  Meunier).
2564	+ update test/configure script.
2565	+ adapt ifdef's from library to make test/view.c build when mbrtowc()
2566	  is unavailable, e.g., with HPUX 10.20.
2567	+ add configure check for wcsrtombs, mbsrtowcs, which are used in
2568	  test/ncurses.c, and use wcstombs, mbstowcs instead if available,
2569	  fixing build of ncursew for HPUX 11.00
2570
257120080830
2572	+ fixes to make Ada95 demo_panels() example work.
2573	+ modify Ada95 'rain' test program to accept keyboard commands like the
2574	  C-version.
2575	+ modify BeOS-specific ifdef's to build on Haiku (patch by Scott
2576	  Mccreary).
2577	+ add configure-check to see if the std namespace is legal for cerr
2578	  and endl, to fix a build issue with Tru64.
2579	+ consistently use NCURSES_BOOL in lib_gen.c
2580	+ filter #line's from lib_gen.c
2581	+ change delimiter in MKlib_gen.sh from '%' to '@', to avoid
2582	  substitution by IBM xlc to '#' as part of its extensions to digraphs.
2583	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2584		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
2585	  (caveat - its maintainer removed support for older Linux systems).
2586
258720080823
2588	+ modify configure check for pthread library to work with OSF/1 5.1,
2589	  which uses #define's to associate its header and library.
2590	+ use pthread_mutexattr_init() for initializing pthread_mutexattr_t,
2591	  makes threaded code work on HPUX 11.23
2592	+ fix a bug in demo_menus in freeing menus (cf: 20080804).
2593	+ modify configure script for the case where tic library is used (and
2594	  possibly renamed) to remove its dependency upon ncurses/ncursew
2595	  library (patch by Dr Werner Fink).
2596	+ correct manpage for menu_fore() which gave wrong default for
2597	  the attribute used to display a selected entry (report by Mike Gran).
2598	+ add Eterm-256color, Eterm-88color and rxvt-88color (prompted by
2599	  Debian #495815) -TD
2600
260120080816
2602	+ add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
2603	+ add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
2604	+ modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
2605	  applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
2606	  etc.  This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
2607	  Werner Fink).
2608	+ add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
2609	  using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
2610	+ document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted
2611	  by comments by Samuel Thibault).
2612	+ fix remaining warnings from Klocwork report.
2613
261420080804
2615	+ modify _nc_panelhook() data to account for a permanent memory leak.
2616	+ fix memory leaks in test/demo_menus
2617	+ fix most warnings from Klocwork tool (report by Larry Zhou).
2618	+ modify configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to add case for
2619	  "dragonfly" from xterm #236 changes.
2620	+ modify configure script --with-hashed-db to let $LIBS override the
2621	  search for the db library (prompted by report by Samson Pierre).
2622
262320080726
2624	+ build-fixes for gcc 4.3.1 (changes to gnat "warnings", and C inlining
2625	  thresholds).
2626
262720080713
2628	+ build-fix (reports by Christian Ebert, Funda Wang).
2629
263020080712
2631	+ compiler-warning fixes for Solaris.
2632
263320080705
2634	+ use NCURSES_MOUSE_MASK() in definition of BUTTON_RELEASE(), etc., to
2635	  make those work properly with the "--enable-ext-mouse" configuration
2636	  (cf: 20050205).
2637	+ improve documentation of build-cc options in INSTALL.
2638	+ work-around a bug in gcc 4.2.4 on AIX, which does not pass the
2639	  -static/-dynamic flags properly to linker, causing test/bs to
2640	  not link.
2641
264220080628
2643	+ correct some ifdef's needed for the broken-linker configuration.
2644	+ make debugging library's $BAUDRATE feature work for termcap
2645	  interface.
2646	+ make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface (prompted
2647	  by comment on FreeBSD mailing list).
2648	+ add screen.mlterm terminfo entry -TD
2649	+ improve mlterm and mlterm+pcfkeys terminfo entries -TD
2650
265120080621
2652	+ regenerated html documentation.
2653	+ expand manpage description of parameters for form_driver() and
2654	  menu_driver() (prompted by discussion with Adam Spragg).
2655	+ add null-pointer checks for cur_term in baudrate() and
2656	  def_shell_mode(), def_prog_mode()
2657	+ fix some memory leaks in delscreen() and wide acs.
2658
265920080614
2660	+ modify test/ditto.c to illustrate multi-threaded use_screen().
2661	+ change CC_SHARED_OPTS from -KPIC to -xcode=pic32 for Solaris.
2662	+ add "-shared" option to MK_SHARED_LIB for gcc on Solaris (report
2663	  by Poor Yorick).
2664
266520080607
2666	+ finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the
2667	  window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr().  That
2668	  allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with
2669	  some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a
2670	  window which is being used in a wgetch().
2671	+ simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
2672
267320080531
2674	+ modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
2675	  parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
2676	  use SP internally.
2677	+ factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
2678	+ add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a
2679	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
2680	+ add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a
2681	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
2682	+ add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate
2683	  its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN.
2684	+ add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in
2685	  preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer.
2686
268720080524
2688	+ modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
2689	  screen which must be updated.
2690	+ wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and
2691	  always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm().
2692	+ restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch
2693	  Miroslav Lichvar)
2694
269520080517
2696	+ modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and
2697	  --enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from
2698	  the ncurses ABI 5.
2699	+ corrected manpage description of setcchar() (discussion with
2700	  Emanuele Giaquinta).
2701	+ fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line
2702	  (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
2703
270420080503
2705	+ modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix
2706	  overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD
2707	+ modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the
2708	  global SP.
2709	+ simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and
2710	  each_ripoff().
2711
271220080426
2713	+ continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate
2714	  multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens.
2715	+ fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran).
2716
271720080419
2718	+ add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD
2719	+ modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from
2720	  being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings.
2721	+ improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout.
2722
272320080412
2724	+ change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm.
2725	+ add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their
2726	  window parameters.
2727	+ add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN
2728	  pointer.
2729	+ finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.
2730
273120080405
2732	+ begin table in curs_thread.3x manpage describing the scope of data
2733	  used by each function (or symbol) for threading analysis.
2734	+ add null-pointer checks to setsyx() and getsyx() (prompted by
2735	  discussion by Martin v. Lowis and Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on
2736	  python-dev2 mailing list).
2737
273820080329
2739	+ add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen().
2740	+ move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which
2741	  are not associated with a particular screen.
2742	+ change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than
2743	  stdscr to the callback function.
2744	+ force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this,
2745	  e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc
2746	  (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
2747	+ override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on
2748	  platforms such as AIX where libtool may use a different suffix for
2749	  the object files than ".o" (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
2750	+ add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX
2751	  thread library.
2752
275320080322
2754	+ fill in extended-color pair two more places in wbkgrndset() and
2755	  waddch_nosync() (prompted by Sedeno's patch).
2756	+ fill in extended-color pair in _nc_build_wch() to make colors work
2757	  for wide-characters using extended-colors (patch by Alejandro R
2758	  Sedeno).
2759	+ add x/X toggles to ncurses.c C color test to test/demo
2760	  wide-characters with extended-colors.
2761	+ add a/A toggles to ncurses.c c/C color tests.
2762	+ modify test/ditto.c to use use_screen().
2763	+ finish modifying test/rain.c to demonstrate threads.
2764
276520080308
2766	+ start modifying test/rain.c for threading demo.
2767	+ modify test/ncurses.c to make 'f' test accept the f/F/b/F/</> toggles
2768	  that the 'F' accepts.
2769	+ modify test/worm.c to show trail in reverse-video when other threads
2770	  are working concurrently.
2771	+ fix a deadlock from improper nesting of mutexes for windowlist and
2772	  window.
2773
277420080301
2775	+ fixes from 20080223 resolved issue with mutexes; change to use
2776	  recursive mutexes to fix memory leak in delwin() as called from
2777	  _nc_free_and_exit().
2778
277920080223
2780	+ fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex
2781	  lock/unlock when termlib was built separately.
2782
278320080216
2784	+ avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often
2785	  is implemented to suspend the entire process.
2786
278720080209
2788	+ update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for
2789	  comparisons.  This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open curses
2790	  that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping.  None of the Unix-branded
2791	  implementations do this, as noted in manpage (cf: 20040228).
2792
279320080203
2794	+ modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same
2795	  for both narrow/wide models.  It had been set only for wide model,
2796	  but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model.
2797	+ improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by
2798	  using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append
2799	  further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A
2800	  Chernov).
2801	+ modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint().
2802	  If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
2803	  sequence.
2804
280520080126
2806	+ improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE
2807	  handling).  Now it hangs in napms(), no matter whether nanosleep()
2808	  or poll() or select() are used on Linux.
2809
281020080119
2811	+ fixes to build with --disable-ext-funcs
2812	+ add manpage for use_window and use_screen.
2813	+ add set_tabsize() and set_escdelay() functions.
2814
281520080112
2816	+ remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c
2817	+ remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's
2818	  adjust_window() which caused occasional misadjustment of stdscr when
2819	  softkeys were used.
2820
282120080105
2822	+ several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD
2823	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the
2824	  "link_test" builds properly.
2825	+ fix for toe command-line options -u/-U to ensure filename is given.
2826	+ fix allocation-size for command-line parsing in infocmp from 20070728
2827	  (report by Miroslav Lichvar)
2828	+ improve resizeterm() by moving ripped-off lines, and repainting the
2829	  soft-keys (report by Katarina Machalkova)
2830	+ add clarification in wclear's manpage noting that the screen will be
2831	  cleared even if a subwindow is cleared (prompted by Christer Enfors
2832	  question).
2833	+ change test/ncurses.c soft-key tests to work with KEY_RESIZE.
2834
283520071222
2836	+ continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
2837	  for delwin().
2838
283920071215
2840	+ add several functions to C++ binding which wrap C functions that
2841	  pass a WINDOW* parameter (request by Chris Lee).
2842
284320071201
2844	+ add note about configure options needed for Berkeley database to the
2845	  INSTALL file.
2846	+ improve checks for version of Berkeley database libraries.
2847	+ amend fix for rpath to not modify LDFLAGS if the platform has no
2848	  applicable transformation (report by Christian Ebert, cf: 20071124).
2849
285020071124
2851	+ modify configure option --with-hashed-db to accept a parameter which
2852	  is the install-prefix of a given Berkeley Database (prompted by
2853	  pierre4d2 comments).
2854	+ rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb(), making it work on Solaris.  This is
2855	  used in the form library to determine the length of the buffer needed
2856	  by field_buffer (report by Alfred Fung).
2857	+ remove unneeded window-parameter from C++ binding for wresize (report
2858	  by Chris Lee).
2859
286020071117
2861	+ modify the support for filesystems which do not support mixed-case to
2862	  generate 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the lower-level of the
2863	  filesystem terminfo database (request by Michail Vidiassov).
2864	+ add configure option --enable-mixed-case, to allow overriding the
2865	  configure script's check if the filesystem supports mixed-case
2866	  filenames.
2867	+ add wresize() to C++ binding (request by Chris Lee).
2868	+ define NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS and NCURSES_EXT_COLORS in curses.h to make
2869	  it simpler to tell if the extended functions and/or colors are
2870	  declared.
2871
287220071103
2873	+ update memory-leak checks for changes to names.c and codes.c
2874	+ correct acsc strings in h19, z100 (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler).
2875
287620071020
2877	+ continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
2878	  for use_window().
2879	+ add mrxvt terminfo entry, add/fix xterm building blocks for modified
2880	  cursor keys -TD
2881	+ compile with FreeBSD "contemporary" TTY interface (patch by
2882	  Rong-En Fan).
2883
288420071013
2885	+ modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built
2886	  without libtic.  The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
2887	  that library.
2888	+ add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
2889	  the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).
2890	+ fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat #310071,
2891	  patches by Miroslav Lichvar).
2892	+ improve performance of NCURSES_CHAR_EQ code (patch by Miroslav
2893	  Lichvar).
2894	+ update/improve mlterm and rxvt terminfo entries, e.g., for
2895	  the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
2896
289720071006
2898	+ add code to curses.priv.h ifdef'd with NCURSES_CHAR_EQ, which
2899	  changes the CharEq() macro to an inline function to allow comparing
2900	  cchar_t struct's without comparing gaps in a possibly unpacked
2901	  memory layout (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
2902
290320070929
2904	+ add new functions to lib_trace.c to setup mutex's for the _tracef()
2905	  calls within the ncurses library.
2906	+ for the reentrant model, move _nc_tputs_trace and _nc_outchars into
2907	  the SCREEN.
2908	+ start modifying test/worm.c to provide threading demo (incomplete).
2909	+ separated ifdef's for some BSD-related symbols in tset.c, to make
2910	  it compile on LynxOS (report by Greg Gemmer).
291120070915
2912	+ modify Ada95/gen/Makefile to use shlib script, to simplify building
2913	  shared-library configuration on platforms lacking rpath support.
2914	+ build-fix for Ada95/src/Makefile to reflect changed dependency for
2915	  the terminal-interface-curses-aux.adb file which is now generated.
2916	+ restructuring test/worm.c, for use_window() example.
2917
291820070908
2919	+ add use_window() and use_screen() functions, to develop into support
2920	  for threaded library (incomplete).
2921	+ fix typos in man/curs_opaque.3x which kept the install script from
2922	  creating symbolic links to two aliases created in 20070818 (report by
2923	  Rong-En Fan).
2924
292520070901
2926	+ remove a spurious newline from output of html.m4, which caused links
2927	  for Ada95 html to be incorrect for the files generated using m4.
2928	+ start investigating mutex's for SCREEN manipulation (incomplete).
2929	+ minor cleanup of codes.c/names.c for --enable-const

2937	+ fix a sign-extension bug in infocmp's repair_acsc() function
2938	  (cf: 971004).
2939	+ fix old configure script bug which prevented "--disable-warnings"
2940	  option from working (patch by Mike Frysinger).

294220070818
2943	+ add 9term terminal description (request by Juhapekka Tolvanen) -TD
2944	+ modify comp_hash.c's string output to avoid misinterpreting a null
2945	  "\0" followed by a digit.
2946	+ modify MKnames.awk and MKcodes.awk to support big-strings.
2947	  This only applies to the cases (broken linker, reentrant) where
2948	  the corresponding arrays are accessed via wrapper functions.
2949	+ split MKnames.awk into two scripts, eliminating the shell redirection
2950	  which complicated the make process and also the bogus timestamp file
2951	  which was introduced to fix "make -j".
2952	+ add test/test_opaque.c, test/test_arrays.c
2953	+ add wgetscrreg() and wgetparent() for applications that may need it
2954	  when NCURSES_OPAQUE is defined (prompted by Bryan Christ).
2955
295620070812

2962	  library.
2963	+ modify configure script to skip Intel compiler in CF_C_INLINE.
2964	+ make _nc_info_hash_table and _nc_cap_hash_table private accessed via

2966	  library.
2967
296820070728
2969	+ make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private, accessed via
2970	  _nc_get_alias_table() since they are used only by parse_entry.c
2971	+ make _nc_key_names private since it is used only by lib_keyname.c
2972	+ add --disable-big-strings configure option to control whether
2973	  unctrl.c is generated using the big-string optimization - which may
2974	  use strings longer than supported by a given compiler.
2975	+ reduce relocation tables for tic, infocmp by changing type of
2976	  internal hash tables to short, and make those private symbols.
2977	+ eliminate large fixed arrays from progs/infocmp.c
2978
297920070721
2980	+ change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line (cf: 970315).

2988	  is used in tput and other non-screen applications via setupterm()
2989	  (Debian #433357, reported by Florent Bayle, Christian Ohm,
2990	  cf: 20070310).
2991
299220070714
2993	+ add test/savescreen.c test-program

3004
300520070707
3006	+ add continuous-move "M" to demo_panels to help test refresh changes.

301120070630
3012	+ add "widec" row to _tracedump() output to help diagnose remaining
3013	  problems with multi-column characters.
3014	+ partial fix for refresh of window on top of multi-column characters
3015	  which are partly overwritten (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
3016	+ ignore A_CHARTEXT bits in vidattr() and vid_attr(), in case
3017	  multi-column extension bits are passed there.
3018	+ add setlocale() call to demo_panels.c, needed for wide-characters.
3019	+ add some output flags to _nc_trace_ttymode to help diagnose a bug
3020	  report by Larry Virden, i.e., ONLCR, OCRNL, ONOCR and ONLRET,
3021
302220070623
3023	+ add test/demo_panels.c

3043	  (discussion with Clive Nicolson).
3044	+ add a modification of test/dots.c, i.e., test/dots_mvcur.c to
3045	  illustrate how to use mvcur().
3046	+ modify wide-character flavor of SetAttr() to preserve the
3047	  WidecExt() value stored in the .attr field, e.g., in case it
3048	  is overwritten by chgat (report by Aleksi Torhamo).
3049	+ correct buffer-size for _nc_viswbuf2n() (report by Aleksi Torhamo).
3050	+ build-fixes for Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 (patch by Peter O'Gorman).
3051
305220070526
3053	+ modify keyname() to use "^X" form only if meta() has been called, or
3054	  if keyname() is called without initializing curses, e.g., via
3055	  initscr() or newterm() (prompted by LinuxBase #1604).
3056	+ document some portability issues in man/curs_util.3x
3057	+ add a shadow copy of TTY buffer to _nc_prescreen to fix applications
3058	  broken by moving that data into SCREEN (cf: 20061230).
3059
306020070512
3061	+ add 'O' (wide-character panel test) in ncurses.c to demonstrate a
3062	  problem reported by Sadrul H Chowdhury with repainting parts of
3063	  a fullwidth cell.
3064	+ modify slk_init() so that if there are preceding calls to
3065	  ripoffline(), those affect the available lines for soft-keys (adapted
3066	  from patch by Clive Nicolson).
3067	+ document some portability issues in man/curs_getyx.3x
3068
306920070505
3070	+ fix a bug in Ada95/samples/ncurses which caused a variable to
3071	  become uninitialized in the "b" test.
3072	+ fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in adahtml rule to account for recent
3073	  movement of files, fix a few incorrect manpage references in the
3074	  generated html.
3075	+ add Ada95 binding to _nc_freeall() as Curses_Free_All to help with
3076	  memory-checking.
3077	+ correct some functions in Ada95 binding which were using return value
3078	  from C where none was returned:  idcok(), immedok() and wtimeout().
3079	+ amend recent changes for Ada95 binding to make it build with
3080	  Cygwin's linker, e.g., with configure options
3081		--enable-broken-linker --with-ticlib
3082
308320070428
3084	+ add a configure check for gcc's options for inlining, use that to
3085	  quiet a warning message where gcc's default behavior changed from
3086	  3.x to 4.x.
3087	+ improve warning message when checking if GPM is linked to curses
3088	  library by not warning if its use of "wgetch" is via a weak symbol.
3089	+ add loader options when building with static libraries to ensure that
3090	  an installed shared library for ncurses does not conflict.  This is
3091	  reported as problem with Tru64, but could affect other platforms
3092	  (report Martin Mokrejs, analysis by Tim Mooney).
3093	+ fix build on cygwin after recent ticlib/termlib changes, i.e.,
3094	  + adjust TINFO_SUFFIX value to work with cygwin's dll naming
3095	  + revert a change from 20070303 which commented out dependency of
3096	    SHLIB_LIST in form/menu/panel/c++ libraries.
3097	+ fix initialization of ripoff stack pointer (cf: 20070421).
3098
309920070421
3100	+ move most static variables into structures _nc_globals and
3101	  _nc_prescreen, to simplify storage.
3102	+ add/use configure script macro CF_SIG_ATOMIC_T, use the corresponding
3103	  type for data manipulated by signal handlers (prompted by comments
3104	  in mailing.openbsd.bugs newsgroup).
3105	+ modify CF_WITH_LIBTOOL to allow one to pass options such as -static
3106	  to the libtool create- and link-operations.
3107
310820070414
3109	+ fix whitespace in curs_opaque.3x which caused a spurious ';' in
3110	  the installed aliases (report by Peter Santoro).
3111	+ fix configure script to not try to generate adacurses-config when
3112	  Ada95 tree is not built.
3113
311420070407
3115	+ add man/curs_legacy.3x, man/curs_opaque.3x
3116	+ fix acs_map binding for Ada95 when --enable-reentrant is used.
3117	+ add adacurses-config to the Ada95 install, based on version from
3118	  FreeBSD port, in turn by Juergen Pfeifer in 2000 (prompted by
3119	  comment on comp.lang.ada newsgroup).
3120	+ fix includes in c++ binding to build with Intel compiler
3121	  (cf: 20061209).
3122	+ update install rule in Ada95 to use mkdirs.sh
3123	> other fixes prompted by inspection for Coverity report:
3124	+ modify ifdef's for c++ binding to use try/catch/throw statements

3132	+ remove an unused assignment in progs/infocmp.c
3133	+ fix a limit check in tack/ansi.c tools_charset()
3134	+ fix tack/ansi.c tools_status() to perform the VT320/VT420

3137	+ fix a couple of places in tack/output.c which did not check for EOF.
3138	+ fix a loop-condition in test/bs.c

3149	+ fix a double-free in ncurses/base/wresize.c
3150	+ add try/catch block to c++/cursesmain.cc
3151
315220070331
3153	+ modify Ada95 binding to build with --enable-reentrant by wrapping
3154	  global variables (bug: acs_map does not yet work).
3155	+ modify Ada95 binding to use the new access-functions, allowing it
3156	  to build/run when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
3157	+ add access-functions and macros to return properties of the WINDOW
3158	  structure, e.g., when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
3159	+ improved install-sh's quoting.
3160	+ use mkdirs.sh rather than mkinstalldirs, e.g., to use fixes from
3161	  other programs.
3162
316320070324
3164	+ eliminate part of the direct use of WINDOW data from Ada95 interface.
3165	+ fix substitutions for termlib filename to make configure option
3166	  --enable-reentrant work with --with-termlib.
3167	+ change a constructor for NCursesWindow to allow compiling with
3168	  NCURSES_OPAQUE set, since we cannot pass a reference to
3169	  an opaque pointer.
3170
317120070317
3172	+ ignore --with-chtype=unsigned since unsigned is always added to
3173	  the type in curses.h; do the same for --with-mmask-t.
3174	+ change warning regarding --enable-ext-colors and wide-character
3175	  in the configure script to an error.
3176	+ tweak error message in CF_WITH_LIBTOOL to distinguish other programs
3177	  such as Darwin's libtool program (report by Michail Vidiassov)
3178	+ modify edit_man.sh to allow for multiple substitutions per line.
3179	+ set locale in misc/ncurses-config.in since it uses a range
3180	+ change permissions libncurses++.a install (report by Michail
3181	  Vidiassov).
3182	+ corrected length of temporary buffer in wide-character version
3183	  of set_field_buffer() (related to report by Bryan Christ).
3184
318520070311
3186	+ fix mk-1st.awk script install_shlib() function, broken in 20070224
3187	  changes for cygwin (report by  Michail Vidiassov).
3188
318920070310
3190	+ increase size of array in _nc_visbuf2n() to make "tic -v" work
3191	  properly in its similar_sgr() function (report/analysis by Peter
3192	  Santoro).
3193	+ add --enable-reentrant configure option for ongoing changes to
3194	  implement a reentrant version of ncurses:
3195	  + libraries are suffixed with "t"
3196	  + wrap several global variables (curscr, newscr, stdscr, ttytype,
3197	    COLORS, COLOR_PAIRS, COLS, ESCDELAY, LINES and TABSIZE) as
3198	    functions returning values stored in SCREEN or cur_term.
3199	  + move some initialization (LINES, COLS) from lib_setup.c,
3200	    i.e., setupterm() to _nc_setupscreen(), i.e., newterm().
3201
320220070303
3203	+ regenerated html documentation.
3204	+ add NCURSES_OPAQUE symbol to curses.h, will use to make structs
3205	  opaque in selected configurations.
3206	+ move the chunk in lib_acs.c which resets acs capabilities when
3207	  running on a terminal whose locale interferes with those into
3208	  _nc_setupscreen(), so the libtinfo/libtinfow files can be made
3209	  identical (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
3210	+ do not use configure variable SHLIB_LIBS for building libraries
3211	  outside the ncurses directory, since that symbol is customized
3212	  only for that directory, and using it introduces an unneeded
3213	  dependency on libdl (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
3214	+ modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or
3215	  installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in
3216	  case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh (report by Jeff
3217	  Chua).
3218	+ revised section "Using NCURSES under XTERM" in ncurses-intro.html
3219	  (prompted by newsgroup comment by Nick Guenther).
3220
322120070224
3222	+ change internal return codes of _nc_wgetch() to check for cases
3223	  where KEY_CODE_YES should be returned, e.g., if a KEY_RESIZE was
3224	  ungetch'd, and read by wget_wch().
3225	+ fix static-library build broken in 20070217 changes to remove "-ldl"
3226	  (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
3227	+ change makefile/scripts for cygwin to allow building termlib.
3228	+ use Form_Hook in manpages to match form.h
3229	+ use Menu_Hook in manpages, as well as a few places in menu.h
3230	+ correct form- and menu-manpages to use specific Field_Options,
3231	  Menu_Options and Item_Options types.
3232	+ correct prototype for _tracechar() in manpage (cf: 20011229).
3233	+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
3234
323520070217
3236	+ fixes for $(TICS_LIST) in ncurses/Makefile (report by Miroslav
3237	  Lichvar).
3238	+ modify relinking of shared libraries to apply only when rpath is
3239	  enabled, and add --disable-relink option which can be used to
3240	  disable the feature altogether (reports by Michail Vidiassov,
3241	  Adam J Richter).
3242	+ fix --with-termlib option for wide-character configuration, stripping
3243	  the "w" suffix in one place (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
3244	+ remove "-ldl" from some library lists to reduce dependencies in
3245	  programs (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
3246	+ correct description of --enable-signed-char in configure --help
3247	  (report by Michail Vidiassov).
3248	+ add pattern for GNU/kFreeBSD configuration to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE,
3249	  which matches an earlier change to CF_SHARED_OPTS, from xterm #224
3250	  fixes.
3251	+ remove "${DESTDIR}" from -install_name option used for linking
3252	  shared libraries on Darwin (report by Michail Vidiassov).
3253
325420070210
3255	+ add test/inchs.c, test/inch_wide.c, to test win_wchnstr().
3256	+ remove libdl from library list for termlib (report by Miroslav
3257	  Lichvar).
3258	+ fix configure.in to allow --without-progs --with-termlib (patch by
3259	  Miroslav Lichvar).
3260	+ modify win_wchnstr() to ensure that only a base cell is returned
3261	  for each multi-column character (prompted by report by Wei Kong
3262	  regarding change in mvwin_wch() cf: 20041023).
3263
326420070203
3265	+ modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
3266	  from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
3267	  Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
3268	  associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
3269	  Ricardo Cantu).
3270	+ improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
3271	+ ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
3272	+ add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
3273	  to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
3274	+ drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
3275	  no longer relies on it.
3276	+ disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
3277	  --enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
3278	+ remove tack from ncurses tree.
3279
328020070128
3281	+ fix typo in configure script that broke --with-termlib option
3282	  (report by Rong-En Fan).
3283
328420070127
3285	+ improve fix for FreeBSD gnu/98975, to allow for null pointer passed
3286	  to tgetent() (report by Rong-en Fan).
3287	+ update tack/HISTORY and tack/README to tell how to build it after
3288	  it is removed from the ncurses tree.
3289	+ fix configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
3290	  (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
3291	+ review/eliminate other original-file artifacts in cursesw.cc, making
3292	  its license consistent with ncurses.
3293	+ use ncurses vw_scanw() rather than reading into a fixed buffer in
3294	  the c++ binding for scanw() methods (prompted by report by Nuno Dias).
3295	+ eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding.
3296
329720070120
3298	+ add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from
3299	  term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency.
3300	+ fix test/mk-test.awk to ignore blank lines.
3301	+ correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav
3302	  Lichvar).
3303
330420070113
3305	+ add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the
3306	  _first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak).
3307	+ add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the
3308	  ncurses build-tree.
3309	+ add --with-ticlib option, to build/install the tic-support functions
3310	  in a separate library (suggested by Miroslav Lichvar).
3311
331220070106
3313	+ change MKunctrl.awk to reduce relocation table for unctrl.o
3314	+ change MKkeyname.awk to reduce relocation table for keyname.o
3315	  (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
3316
331720061230
3318	+ modify configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
3319	  (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
3320	+ modify some modules to allow them to be reentrant if _REENTRANT is
3321	  defined: lib_baudrate.c, resizeterm.c (local data only)
3322	+ eliminate static data from some modules: add_tries.c, hardscroll.c,
3323	  lib_ttyflags.c, lib_twait.c
3324	+ improve manpage install to add aliases for the transformed program
3325	  names, e.g., from --program-prefix.
3326	+ used linklint to verify links in the HTML documentation, made fixes
3327	  to manpages as needed.
3328	+ fix a typo in curs_mouse.3x (report by William McBrine).
3329	+ fix install-rule for ncurses5-config to make the bin-directory.
3330
333120061223
3332	+ modify configure script to omit the tic (terminfo compiler) support
3333	  from ncurses library if --without-progs option is given.
3334	+ modify install rule for ncurses5-config to do this via "install.libs"
3335	+ modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath.
3336	+ update config.guess, config.sub
3337
333820061217 5.6 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
3339
334020061217
3341	+ add ifdef's for <wctype.h> for HPUX, which has the corresponding
3342	  definitions in <wchar.h>.
3343	+ revert the va_copy() change from 20061202, since it was neither
3344	  correct nor portable.
3345	+ add $(LOCAL_LIBS) definition to progs/Makefile.in, needed for
3346	  rpath on Solaris.
3347	+ ignore wide-acs line-drawing characters that wcwidth() claims are
3348	  not one-column.  This is a workaround for Solaris' broken locale
3349	  support.
3350
335120061216
3352	+ modify configure --with-gpm option to allow it to accept a parameter,
3353	  i.e., the name of the dynamic GPM library to load via dlopen()
3354	  (requested by Bryan Henderson).
3355	+ add configure option --with-valgrind, changes from vile.
3356	+ modify configure script AC_TRY_RUN and AC_TRY_LINK checks to use
3357	  'return' in preference to 'exit()'.
3358
335920061209
3360	+ change default for --with-develop back to "no".
3361	+ add XTABS to tracing of TTY bits.
3362	+ updated autoconf patch to ifdef-out the misfeature which declares
3363	  exit() for configure tests.  This fixes a redefinition warning on
3364	  Solaris.
3365	+ use ${CC} rather than ${LD} in shared library rules for IRIX64,
3366	  Solaris to help ensure that initialization sections are provided for
3367	  extra linkage requirements, e.g., of C++ applications (prompted by
3368	  comment by Casper Dik in newsgroup).
3369	+ rename "$target" in CF_MAN_PAGES to make it easier to distinguish
3370	  from the autoconf predefined symbol.  There was no conflict,
3371	  since "$target" was used only in the generated edit_man.sh file,
3372	  but SuSE's rpm package contains a patch.
3373
337420061202
3375	+ update man/term.5 to reflect extended terminfo support and hashed
3376	  database configuration.
3377	+ updates for test/configure script.
3378	+ adapted from SuSE rpm package:
3379	  + remove long-obsolete workaround for broken-linker which declared
3380	    cur_term in tic.c
3381	  + improve error recovery in PUTC() macro when wcrtomb() does not
3382	    return usable results for an 8-bit character.
3383	+ patches from rpm package (SuSE):
3384	  + use va_copy() in extra varargs manipulation for tracing version
3385	    of printw, etc.
3386	  + use a va_list rather than a null in _nc_freeall()'s call to
3387	    _nc_printf_string().
3388	+ add some see-also references in manpages to show related
3389	  wide-character functions (suggested by Claus Fischer).
3390
339120061125
3392	+ add a check in lib_color.c to ensure caller does not increase COLORS
3393	  above max_colors, which is used as an array index (discussion with
3394	  Simon Sasburg).
3395	+ add ifdef's allowing ncurses to be built with tparm() using either
3396	  varargs (the existing status), or using a fixed-parameter list (to
3397	  match X/Open).
3398
339920061104
3400	+ fix redrawing of windows other than stdscr using wredrawln() by
3401	  touching the corresponding rows in curscr (discussion with Dan
3402	  Gookin).
3403	+ add test/redraw.c
3404	+ add test/echochar.c
3405	+ review/cleanup manpage descriptions of error-returns for form- and
3406	  menu-libraries (prompted by FreeBSD docs/46196).
3407
340820061028
3409	+ add AUTHORS file -TD
3410	+ omit the -D options from output of the new config script --cflags
3411	  option (suggested by Ralf S Engelschall).
3412	+ make NCURSES_INLINE unconditionally defined in curses.h
3413
341420061021
3415	+ revert change to accommodate bash 3.2, since that breaks other
3416	  platforms, e.g., Solaris.
3417	+ minor fixes to NEWS file to simplify scripting to obtain list of
3418	  contributors.
3419	+ improve some shared-library configure scripting for Linux, FreeBSD
3420	  and NetBSD to make "--with-shlib-version" work.
3421	+ change configure-script rules for FreeBSD shared libraries to allow
3422	  for rpath support in versions past 3.
3423	+ use $(DESTDIR) in makefile rules for installing/uninstalling the
3424	  package config script (reports/patches by Christian Wiese,
3425	  Ralf S Engelschall).
3426	+ fix a warning in the configure script for NetBSD 2.0, working around
3427	  spurious blanks embedded in its ${MAKEFLAGS} symbol.
3428	+ change test/Makefile to simplify installing test programs in a
3429	  different directory when --enable-rpath is used.
3430
343120061014
3432	+ work around bug in bash 3.2 by adding extra quotes (Jim Gifford).
3433	+ add/install a package config script, e.g., "ncurses5-config" or
3434	  "ncursesw5-config", according to configuration options.
3435
343620061007
3437	+ add several GNU Screen terminfo variations with 16- and 256-colors,
3438	  and status line (Alain Bench).
3439	+ change the way shared libraries (other than libtool) are installed.
3440	  Rather than copying the build-tree's libraries, link the shared
3441	  objects into the install directory.  This makes the --with-rpath
3442	  option work except with $(DESTDIR) (cf: 20000930).
3443
344420060930
3445	+ fix ifdef in c++/internal.h for QNX 6.1
3446	+ test-compiled with (old) egcs-1.1.2, modified configure script to
3447	  not unset the $CXX and related variables which would prevent this.
3448	+ fix a few terminfo.src typos exposed by improvments to "-f" option.
3449	+ improve infocmp/tic "-f" option formatting.
3450
345120060923
3452	+ make --disable-largefile option work (report by Thomas M Ott).
3453	+ updated html documentation.
3454	+ add ka2, kb1, kb3, kc2 to vt220-keypad as an extension -TD
3455	+ minor improvements to rxvt+pcfkeys -TD
3456
345720060916
3458	+ move static data from lib_mouse.c into SCREEN struct.
3459	+ improve ifdef's for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset to work with Mac OS X
3460	  (report by Michail Vidiassov).
3461	+ modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX to ensure it uses the result from --prefix
3462	  option (from lynx changes) -TD
3463	+ adapt AC_PROG_EGREP check, noting that this is likely to be another
3464	  place aggravated by POSIXLY_CORRECT.
3465	+ modify configure check for awk to ensure that it is found (prompted
3466	  by report by Christopher Parker).
3467	+ update config.sub
3468
346920060909
3470	+ add kon, kon2 and jfbterm terminfo entry (request by Till Maas) -TD
3471	+ remove invis capability from klone+sgr, mainly used by linux entry,
3472	  since it does not really do this -TD
3473
347420060903
3475	+ correct logic in wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not guard
3476	  against passing the multi-column attribute into a call on waddch(),
3477	  e.g., using data returned by win_wch() (cf: 20041023)
3478	  (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
3479
348020060902
3481	+ fix kterm's acsc string -TD
3482	+ fix for change to tic/infocmp in 20060819 to ensure no blank is
3483	  embedded into a termcap description.
3484	+ workaround for 20050806 ifdef's change to allow visbuf.c to compile
3485	  when using --with-termlib --with-trace options.
3486	+ improve tgetstr() by making the return value point into the user's
3487	  buffer, if provided (patch by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat #202480)).
3488	+ correct libraries needed for foldkeys (report by Stanislav Ievlev)
3489
349020060826
3491	+ add terminfo entries for xfce terminal (xfce) and multi gnome
3492	  terminal (mgt) -TD
3493	+ add test/foldkeys.c
3494
349520060819
3496	+ modify tic and infocmp to avoid writing trailing blanks on terminfo
3497	  source output (Debian #378783).
3498	+ modify configure script to ensure that if the C compiler is used
3499	  rather than the loader in making shared libraries, the $(CFLAGS)
3500	  variable is also used (Redhat #199369).
3501	+ port hashed-db code to db2 and db3.
3502	+ fix a bug in tgetent() from 20060625 and 20060715 changes
3503	  (patch/analysis by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat #202480)).
3504
350520060805
3506	+ updated xterm function-keys terminfo to match xterm #216 -TD
3507	+ add configure --with-hashed-db option (tested only with FreeBSD 6.0,
3508	  e.g., the db 1.8.5 interface).
3509
351020060729
3511	+ modify toe to access termcap data, e.g., via cgetent() functions,
3512	  or as a text file if those are not available.
3513	+ use _nc_basename() in tset to improve $SHELL check for csh/sh.
3514	+ modify _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_termcap_entry() so infocmp,
3515	  can access termcap data when the terminfo database is disabled.
3516
351720060722
3518	+ widen the test for xterm kmous a little to allow for other strings
3519	  than \E[M, e.g., for xterm-sco functionality in xterm.
3520	+ update xterm-related terminfo entries to match xterm patch #216 -TD
3521	+ update config.guess, config.sub
3522
352320060715
3524	+ fix for install-rule in Ada95 to add terminal_interface.ads
3525	  and terminal_interface.ali (anonymous posting in comp.lang.ada).
3526	+ correction to manpage for getcchar() (report by William McBrine).
3527	+ add test/chgat.c
3528	+ modify wchgat() to mark updated cells as changed so a refresh will
3529	  repaint those cells (comments by Sadrul H Chowdhury and William
3530	  McBrine).
3531	+ split up dependency of names.c and codes.c in ncurses/Makefile to
3532	  work with parallel make (report/analysis by Joseph S Myers).
3533	+ suppress a warning message (which is ignored) for systems without
3534	  an ldconfig program (patch by Justin Hibbits).
3535	+ modify configure script --disable-symlinks option to allow one to
3536	  disable symlink() in tic even when link() does not work (report by
3537	  Nigel Horne).
3538	+ modify MKfallback.sh to use tic -x when constructing fallback tables
3539	  to allow extended capabilities to be retrieved from a fallback entry.
3540	+ improve leak-checking logic in tgetent() from 20060625 to ensure that
3541	  it does not free the current screen (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
3542
354320060708
3544	+ add a check for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset (NetBSD #33916).
3545	+ correct _nc_free_entries() and related functions used for memory leak
3546	  checking of tic.
3547
354820060701
3549	+ revert a minor change for magic-cookie support from 20060513, which
3550	  caused unexpected reset of attributes, e.g., when resizing test/view
3551	  in color mode.
3552	+ note in clear manpage that the program ignores command-line
3553	  parameters (prompted by Debian #371855).
3554	+ fixes to make lib_gen.c build properly with changes to the configure
3555	  --disable-macros option and NCURSES_NOMACROS (cf:  20060527)
3556	+ update/correct several terminfo entries -TD
3557	+ add some notes regarding copyright to terminfo.src -TD
3558
355920060625
3560	+ fixes to build Ada95 binding with gnat-4.1.0
3561	+ modify read_termtype() so the term_names data is always allocated as
3562	  part of the str_table, a better fix for a memory leak (cf: 20030809).
3563	+ reduce memory leaks in repeated calls to tgetent() by remembering the
3564	  last TERMINAL* value allocated to hold the corresponding data and
3565	  freeing that if the tgetent() result buffer is the same as the
3566	  previous call (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
3567	+ modify tack to test extended capability function-key strings.
3568	+ improved gnome terminfo entry (GenToo #122566).
3569	+ improved xterm-256color terminfo entry (patch by Alain Bench).
3570
357120060617
3572	+ fix two small memory leaks related to repeated tgetent() calls
3573	  with TERM=screen (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
3574	+ add --enable-signed-char to simplify Debian package.
3575	+ reduce name-pollution in term.h by removing #define's for HAVE_xxx
3576	  symbols.
3577	+ correct typo in curs_terminfo.3x (Debian #369168).
3578
357920060603
3580	+ enable the mouse in test/movewindow.c
3581	+ improve a limit-check in frm_def.c (John Heasley).
3582	+ minor copyright fixes.
3583	+ change configure script to produce test/Makefile from data file.
3584
358520060527
3586	+ add a configure option --enable-wgetch-events to enable
3587	  NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS, and correct the associated loop-logic in
3588	  lib_twait.c (report by Bernd Jendrissek).
3589	+ remove include/nomacros.h from build, since the ifdef for
3590	  NCURSES_NOMACROS makes that obsolete.
3591	+ add entrypoints for some functions which were only provided as macros
3592	  to make NCURSES_NOMACROS ifdef work properly:  getcurx(), getcury(),
3593	  getbegx(), getbegy(), getmaxx(), getmaxy(), getparx() and getpary(),
3594	  wgetbkgrnd().
3595	+ provide ifdef for NCURSES_NOMACROS which suppresses most macro
3596	  definitions from curses.h, i.e., where a macro is defined to override
3597	  a function to improve performance.  Allowing a developer to suppress
3598	  these definitions can simplify some application (discussion with
3599	  Stanislav Ievlev).
3600	+ improve description of memu/meml in terminfo manpage.
3601
360220060520
3603	+ if msgr is false, reset video attributes when doing an automargin
3604	  wrap to the next line.  This makes the ncurses 'k' test work properly
3605	  for hpterm.
3606	+ correct caching of keyname(), which was using only half of its table.
3607	+ minor fixes to memory-leak checking.
3608	+ make SCREEN._acs_map and SCREEN._screen_acs_map pointers rather than
3609	  arrays, making ACS_LEN less visible to applications (suggested by
3610	  Stanislav Ievlev).
3611	+ move chunk in SCREEN ifdef'd for USE_WIDEC_SUPPORT to the end, so
3612	  _screen_acs_map will have the same offset in both ncurses/ncursesw,
3613	  making the corresponding tinfo/tinfow libraries binary-compatible
3614	  (cf: 20041016, report by Stanislav Ievlev).
3615
361620060513
3617	+ improve debug-tracing for EmitRange().
3618	+ change default for --with-develop to "yes".  Add NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS
3619	  and NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE environment variables to allow runtime
3620	  suppression of the related hard-tabs and xmc-glitch features.
3621	+ add ncurses version number to top-level manpages, e.g., ncurses, tic,
3622	  infocmp, terminfo as well as form, menu, panel.
3623	+ update config.guess, config.sub
3624	+ modify ncurses.c to work around a bug in NetBSD 3.0 curses
3625	  (field_buffer returning null for a valid field).  The 'r' test
3626	  appears to not work with that configuration since the new_fieldtype()
3627	  function is broken in that implementation.
3628
362920060506
3630	+ add hpterm-color terminfo entry -TD
3631	+ fixes to compile test-programs with HPUX 11.23
3632
363320060422
3634	+ add copyright notices to files other than those that are generated,
3635	  data or adapted from pdcurses (reports by William McBrine, David
3636	  Taylor).
3637	+ improve rendering on hpterm by not resetting attributes at the end
3638	  of doupdate() if the terminal has the magic-cookie feature (report
3639	  by Bernd Rieke).
3640	+ add 256color variants of terminfo entries for programs which are
3641	  reported to implement this feature -TD
3642
364320060416
3644	+ fix typo in change to NewChar() macro from 20060311 changes, which
3645	  broke tab-expansion (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
3646
364720060415
3648	+ document -U option of tic and infocmp.
3649	+ modify tic/infocmp to suppress smacs/rmacs when acsc is suppressed
3650	  due to size limit, e.g., converting to termcap format.  Also
3651	  suppress them if the output format does not contain acsc and it
3652	  was not VT100-like, i.e., a one-one mapping (Novell #163715).
3653	+ add configure check to ensure that SIGWINCH is defined on platforms
3654	  such as OS X which exclude that when _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., are
3655	  defined (report by Nicholas Cole)
3656
365720060408
3658	+ modify write_object() to not write coincidental extensions of an
3659	  entry made due to it being referenced in a use= clause (report by
3660	  Alain Bench).
3661	+ another fix for infocmp -i option, which did not ensure that some
3662	  escape sequences had comparable prefixes (report by Alain Bench).
3663
366420060401
3665	+ improve discussion of init/reset in terminfo and tput manpages
3666	  (report by Alain Bench).
3667	+ use is3 string for a fallback of rs3 in the reset program; it was
3668	  using is2 (report by Alain Bench).
3669	+ correct logic for infocmp -i option, which did not account for
3670	  multiple digits in a parameter (cf: 20040828) (report by Alain
3671	  Bench).
3672	+ move _nc_handle_sigwinch() to lib_setup.c to make --with-termlib
3673	  option work after 20060114 changes (report by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz).
3674	+ add copyright notices to test-programs as needed (report by William
3675	  McBrine).
3676
367720060318
3678	+ modify ncurses.c 'F' test to combine the wide-characters with color
3679	  and/or video attributes.
3680	+ modify test/ncurses to use CTL/Q or ESC consistently for exiting
3681	  a test-screen (some commands used 'x' or 'q').
3682
368320060312
3684	+ fix an off-by-one in the scrolling-region change (cf_ 20060311).
3685
368620060311
3687	+ add checks in waddchnstr() and wadd_wchnstr() to stop copying when
3688	  a null character is found (report by Igor Bogomazov).
3689	+ modify progs/Makefile.in to make "tput init" work properly with
3690	  cygwin, i.e., do not pass a ".exe" in the reference string used
3691	  in check_aliases (report by Samuel Thibault).
3692	+ add some checks to ensure current position is within scrolling
3693	  region before scrolling on a new line (report by Dan Gookin).
3694	+ change some NewChar() usage to static variables to work around
3695	  stack garbage introduced when cchar_t is not packed (Redhat #182024).
3696
369720060225
3698	+ workarounds to build test/movewindow with PDcurses 2.7.
3699	+ fix for nsterm-16color entry (patch by Alain Bench).
3700	+ correct a typo in infocmp manpage (Debian #354281).
3701
370220060218
3703	+ add nsterm-16color entry -TD
3704	+ updated mlterm terminfo entry -TD
3705	+ remove 970913 feature for copying subwindows as they are moved in
3706	  mvwin() (discussion with Bryan Christ).
3707	+ modify test/demo_menus.c to demonstrate moving a menu (both the
3708	  window and subwindow) using shifted cursor-keys.
3709	+ start implementing recursive mvwin() in movewindow.c (incomplete).
3710	+ add a fallback definition for GCC_PRINTFLIKE() in test.priv.h,
3711	  for movewindow.c (report by William McBrine).
3712	+ add help-message to test/movewindow.c
3713
371420060211
3715	+ add test/movewindow.c, to test mvderwin().
3716	+ fix ncurses soft-key test so color changes are shown immediately
3717	  rather than delayed.
3718	+ modify ncurses soft-key test to hide the keys when exiting the test
3719	  screen.
3720	+ fixes to build test programs with PDCurses 2.7, e.g., its headers
3721	  rely on autoconf symbols, and it declares stubs for nonfunctional
3722	  terminfo and termcap entrypoints.
3723
372420060204
3725	+ improved test/configure to build test/ncurses on HPUX 11 using the
3726	  vendor curses.
3727	+ documented ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS in the ncurses manpage, for the
3728	  benefit of developers who do not read INSTALL.
3729
373020060128
3731	+ correct form library Window_To_Buffer() change (cf:  20040516), which
3732	  should ignore the video attributes (report by Ricardo Cantu).
3733
373420060121
3735	+ minor fixes to xmc-glitch experimental code:
3736	  + suppress line-drawing
3737	  + implement max_attributes
3738	  tested with xterm.
3739	+ minor fixes for the database iterator.
3740	+ fix some buffer limits in c++ demo (comment by Falk Hueffner in
3741	  Debian #348117).
3742
374320060114
3744	+ add toe -a option, to show all databases.  This uses new private
3745	  interfaces in the ncurses library for iterating through the list of
3746	  databases.
3747	+ fix toe from 20000909 changes which made it not look at
3748	  $HOME/.terminfo
3749	+ make toe's -v option parameter optional as per manpage.
3750	+ improve SIGWINCH handling by postponing its effect during newterm(),
3751	  etc., when allocating screens.
3752
375320060111
3754	+ modify wgetnstr() to return KEY_RESIZE if a sigwinch occurs.  Use
3755	  this in test/filter.c
3756	+ fix an error in filter() modification which caused some applications
3757	  to fail.
3758
375920060107
3760	+ check if filter() was called when getting the screensize.  Keep it
3761	  at 1 if so (based on Redhat #174498).
3762	+ add extension nofilter().
3763	+ refined the workaround for ACS mapping.
3764	+ make ifdef's consistent in curses.h for the extended colors so the
3765	  header file can be used for the normal curses library.  The header
3766	  file installed for extended colors is a variation of the
3767	  wide-character configuration (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
3768
376920051231
3770	+ add a workaround to ACS mapping to allow applications such as
3771	  test/blue.c to use the "PC ROM" characters by masking them with
3772	  A_ALTCHARSET.  This worked up til 5.5, but was lost in the revision
3773	  of legacy coding (report by Michael Deutschmann).
3774	+ add a null-pointer check in the wide-character version of
3775	  calculate_actual_width() (report by Victor Julien).
3776	+ improve test/ncurses 'd' (color-edit) test by allowing the RGB
3777	  values to be set independently (patch by William McBrine).
3778	+ modify test/configure script to allow building test programs with
3779	  PDCurses/X11.
3780	+ modified test programs to allow some to work with NetBSD curses.
3781	  Several do not because NetBSD curses implements a subset of X/Open
3782	  curses, and also lacks much of SVr4 additions.  But it's enough for
3783	  comparison.
3784	+ update config.guess and config.sub
3785
378620051224
3787	+ use BSD-specific fix for return-value from cgetent() from CVS where
3788	  an unknown terminal type would be reportd as "database not found".
3789	+ make tgetent() return code more readable using new symbols
3790	  TGETENT_YES, etc.
3791	+ remove references to non-existent "tctest" program.
3792	+ remove TESTPROGS from progs/Makefile.in (it was referring to code
3793	  that was never built in that directory).
3794	+ typos in curs_addchstr.3x, some doc files (noticed in OpenBSD CVS).
3795
379620051217
3797	+ add use_legacy_coding() function to support lynx's font-switching
3798	  feature.
3799	+ fix formatting in curs_termcap.3x (report by Mike Frysinger).
3800	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to change preprocessor-expanded _Bool back to
3801	  bool.
3802
380320051210
3804	+ extend test/ncurses.c 's' (overlay window) test to exercise overlay(),
3805	  overwrite() and copywin() with different combinations of colors and
3806	  attributes (including background color) to make it easy to see the
3807	  effect of the different functions.
3808	+ corrections to menu/m_global.c for wide-characters (report by
3809	  Victor Julien).
3810
381120051203
3812	+ add configure option --without-dlsym, allowing developers to
3813	  configure GPM support without using dlsym() (discussion with Michael
3814	  Setzer).
3815	+ fix wins_nwstr(), which did not handle single-column non-8bit codes
3816	  (Debian #341661).
3817
381820051126
3819	+ move prototypes for wide-character trace functions from curses.tail
3820	  to curses.wide to avoid accidental reference to those if
3821	  _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined without ensuring that <wchar.h> is
3822	  included.
3823	+ add/use NCURSES_INLINE definition.
3824	+ change some internal functions to use int/unsigned rather than the
3825	  short equivalents.
3826
382720051119
3828	+ remove a redundant check in lib_color.c (Debian #335655).
3829	+ use ld's -search_paths_first option on Darwin to work around odd
3830	  search rules on that platform (report by Christian Gennerat, analysis
3831	  by Andrea Govoni).
3832	+ remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro.
3833	+ ignore EINTR in tcgetattr/tcsetattr calls (Debian #339518).
3834	+ fix several bugs in test/bs.c (patch by Stephen Lindholm).
3835
383620051112
3837	+ other minor fixes to cygwin based on tack -TD
3838	+ correct smacs in cygwin (Debian #338234, report by Baurzhan
3839	  Ismagulov, who noted that it was fixed in Cygwin).
3840
384120051029
3842	+ add shifted up/down arrow codes to xterm-new as kind/kri strings -TD
3843	+ modify wbkgrnd() to avoid clearing the A_CHARTEXT attribute bits
3844	  since those record the state of multicolumn characters (Debian
3845	  #316663).
3846	+ modify werase to clear multicolumn characters that extend into
3847	  a derived window (Debian #316663).
3848
384920051022
3850	+ move assignment from environment variable ESCDELAY from initscr()
3851	  down to newterm() so the environment variable affects timeouts for
3852	  terminals opened with newterm() as well.
3853	+ fix a memory leak in keyname().
3854	+ add test/demo_altkeys.c
3855	+ modify test/demo_defkey.c to exit from loop via 'q' to allow
3856	  leak-checking, as well as fix a buffer size in winnstr() call.
3857
385820051015
3859	+ correct order of use-clauses in rxvt-basic entry which made codes for
3860	  f1-f4 vt100-style rather than vt220-style (report by Gabor Z Papp).
3861	+ suppress configure check for gnatmake if Ada95/Makefile.in is not
3862	  found.
3863	+ correct a typo in configure --with-bool option for the case where
3864	  --without-cxx is used (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
3865	+ add a note to INSTALL's discussion of --with-normal, pointing out
3866	  that one may wish to use --without-gpm to ensure a completely
3867	  static link (prompted by report by Felix von Leitner).
3868
386920051010 5.5 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
3870
387120051008
3872	+ document in demo_forms.c some portability issues.
3873
387420051001
3875	+ document side-effect of werase() which sets the cursor position.
3876	+ save/restore the current position in form field editing to make
3877	  overlay mode work.
3878
387920050924
3880	+ correct header dependencies in progs, allowing parallel make (report
3881	  by Daniel Jacobowitz).
3882	+ modify CF_BUILD_CC to ensure that pre-setting $BUILD_CC overrides
3883	  the configure check for --with-build-cc (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
3884	+ modify CF_CFG_DEFAULTS to not use /usr as the default prefix for
3885	  NetBSD.
3886	+ update config.guess and config.sub from
3887		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
3888
388920050917
3890	+ modify sed expression which computes path for /usr/lib/terminfo
3891	  symbolic link in install to ensure that it does not change unexpected
3892	  levels of the path (Gentoo #42336).
3893	+ modify default for --disable-lp64 configure option to reduce impact
3894	  on existing 64-bit builds.  Enabling the _LP64 option may change the
3895	  size of chtype and mmask_t.  However, for ABI 6, it is enabled by
3896	  default (report by Mike Frysinger).
3897	+ add configure script check for --enable-ext-mouse, bump ABI to 6 by
3898	  default if it is used.
3899	+ improve configure script logic for bumping ABI to omit this if the
3900	  --with-abi-version option was used.
3901	+ update address for Free Software Foundation in tack's source.
3902	+ correct wins_wch(), which was not marking the filler-cells of
3903	  multi-column characters (cf:  20041023).
3904
390520050910
3906	+ modify mouse initialization to ensure that Gpm_Open() is called only
3907	  once.  Otherwise GPM gets confused in its initialization of signal
3908	  handlers (Debian #326709).
3909
391020050903
3911	+ modify logic for backspacing in a multiline form field to ensure that
3912	  it works even when the preceding line is full (report by Frank van
3913	  Vugt).
3914	+ remove comment about BUGS section of ncurses manpage (Debian #325481)
3915
391620050827
3917	+ document some workarounds for shared and libtool library
3918	  configurations in INSTALL (see --with-shared and --with-libtool).
3919	+ modify CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GXX_VERSION macros to accommodate
3920	  cross-compilers which emit the platform name in their version
3921	  message, e.g.,
3922		arm-sa1100-linux-gnu-g++ (GCC) 4.0.1
3923	  (report by Frank van Vugt).
3924
392520050820
3926	+ start updating documentation for upcoming 5.5 release.
3927	+ fix to make libtool  and libtinfo work together again (cf: 20050122).
3928	+ fixes to allow building traces into libtinfo
3929	+ add debug trace to tic that shows if/how ncurses will write to the
3930	  lower corner of a terminal's screen.
3931	+ update llib-l* files.
3932
393320050813
3934	+ modify initializers in c++ binding to build with old versions of g++.
3935	+ improve special case for 20050115 repainting fix, ensuring that if
3936	  the first changed cell is not a character that the range to be
3937	  repainted is adjusted to start at a character's beginning (Debian
3938	  #316663).
3939
394020050806
3941	+ fixes to build on QNX 6.1
3942	+ improve configure script checks for Intel 9.0 compiler.
3943	+ remove #include's for libc.h (obsolete).
3944	+ adjust ifdef's in curses.priv.h so that when cross-compiling to
3945	  produce comp_hash and make_keys, no dependency on wchar.h is needed.
3946	  That simplifies the build-cppflags (report by Frank van Vugt).
3947	+ move modules related to key-binding into libtinfo to fix linkage
3948	  problem caused by 20050430 changes to MKkeyname.sh (report by
3949	  Konstantin Andreev).
3950
395120050723
3952	+ updates/fixes for configure script macros from vile -TD
3953	+ make prism9's sgr string agree with the rest of the terminfo -TD
3954	+ make vt220's sgr0 string consistent with sgr string, do this for
3955	  several related cases -TD
3956	+ improve translation to termcap by filtering the 'me' (sgr0) strings
3957	  as in the runtime call to tgetent() (prompted by a discussion with
3958	  Thomas Klausner).
3959	+ improve tic check for sgr0 versus sgr(0), to help ensure that sgr0
3960	  resets line-drawing.
3961
396220050716
3963	+ fix special cases for trimming sgr0 for hurd and vt220 (Debian
3964	  #318621).
3965	+ split-out _nc_trim_sgr0() from modifications made to tgetent(), to
3966	  allow it to be used by tic to provide information about the runtime
3967	  changes that would be made to sgr0 for termcap applications.
3968	+ modify make_sed.sh to make the group-name in the NAME section of
3969	  form/menu library manpage agree with the TITLE string when renaming
3970	  is done for Debian (Debian #78866).
3971
397220050702
3973	+ modify parameter type in c++ binding for insch() and mvwinsch() to
3974	  be consistent with underlying ncurses library (was char, is chtype).
3975	+ modify treatment of Intel compiler to allow _GNU_SOURCE to be defined
3976	  on Linux.
3977	+ improve configure check for nanosleep(), checking that it works since
3978	  some older systems such as AIX 4.3 have a nonworking version.
3979
398020050625
3981	+ update config.guess and config.sub from
3982		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
3983	+ modify misc/shlib to work in test-directory.
3984	+ suppress $suffix in misc/run_tic.sh when cross-compiling.  This
3985	  allows cross-compiles to use the host's tic program to handle the
3986	  "make install.data" step.
3987	+ improve description of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables in manpages
3988	  (prompted by report by Dave Ulrick).
3989	+ improve description of cross-compiling in INSTALL
3990	+ add NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html by Pradeep Padala
3991	  (see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/).
3992	+ modify configure script to obtain soname for GPM library (discussion
3993	  with Daniel Jacobowitz).
3994	+ modify configure script so that --with-chtype option will still
3995	  compute the unsigned literals suffix for constants in curses.h
3996	  (report by Daniel Jacobowitz:
3997	+ patches from Daniel Jacobowitz:
3998	  + the man_db.renames entry for tack.1 was backwards.
3999	  + tack.1 had some 1m's that should have been 1M's.
4000	  + the section for curs_inwstr.3 was wrong.
4001
400220050619
4003	+ correction to --with-chtype option (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
4004
400520050618
4006	+ move build-time edit_man.sh and edit_man.sed scripts to top directory
4007	  to simplify reusing them for renaming tack's manpage (prompted by a
4008	  review of Debian package).
4009	+ revert minor optimization from 20041030 (Debian #313609).
4010	+ libtool-specific fixes, tested with libtool 1.4.3, 1.5.0, 1.5.6,
4011	  1.5.10 and 1.5.18 (all work except as noted previously for the c++
4012	  install using libtool 1.5.0):
4013	  + modify the clean-rule in c++/Makefile.in to work with IRIX64 make
4014	    program.
4015	  + use $(LIBTOOL_UNINSTALL) symbol, overlooked in 20030830
4016	+ add configure options --with-chtype and --with-mmask-t, to allow
4017	  overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of the corresponding types.
4018	+ revise test for size of chtype (and mmask_t), which always returned
4019	  "long" due to an uninitialized variable (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
4020
402120050611
4022	+ change _tracef's that used "%p" format for va_list values to ignore
4023	  that, since on some platforms those are not pointers.
4024	+ fixes for long-formats in printf's due to largefile support.
4025
402620050604
4027	+ fixes for termcap support:
4028	  + reset pointer to _nc_curr_token.tk_name when the input stream is
4029	    closed, which could point to free memory (cf: 20030215).
4030	  + delink TERMTYPE data which is used by the termcap reader, so that
4031	    extended names data will be freed consistently.
4032	  + free pointer to TERMTYPE data in _nc_free_termtype() rather than
4033	    its callers.
4034	  + add some entrypoints for freeing permanently allocated data via
4035	    _nc_freeall() when NO_LEAKS is defined.
4036	+ amend 20041030 change to _nc_do_color to ensure that optimization is
4037	  applied only when the terminal supports back_color_erase (bce).
4038
403920050528
4040	+ add sun-color terminfo entry -TD
4041	+ correct a missing assignment in c++ binding's method
4042	  NCursesPanel::UserPointer() from 20050409 changes.
4043	+ improve configure check for large-files, adding check for dirent64
4044	  from vile -TD
4045	+ minor change to configure script to improve linker options for the
4046	  Ada95 tree.
4047
404820050515
4049	+ document error conditions for ncurses library functions (report by
4050	  Stanislav Ievlev).
4051	+ regenerated html documentation for ada binding.
4052	  see ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/gnathtml
4053
405420050507
4055	+ regenerated html documentation for manpages.
4056	+ add $(BUILD_EXEEXT) suffix to invocation of make_keys in
4057	  ncurses/Makefile (Gentoo #89772).
4058	+ modify c++/demo.cc to build with g++ -fno-implicit-templates option
4059	  (patch by Mike Frysinger).
4060	+ modify tic to filter out long extended names when translating to
4061	  termcap format.  Only two characters are permissible for termcap
4062	  capability names.
4063
406420050430
4065	+ modify terminfo entries xterm-new and rxvt to add strings for
4066	  shift-, control-cursor keys.
4067	+ workaround to allow c++ binding to compile with g++ 2.95.3, which
4068	  has a broken implementation of static_cast<> (patch by Jeff Chua).
4069	+ modify initialization of key lookup table so that if an extended
4070	  capability (tic -x) string is defined, and its name begins with 'k',
4071	  it will automatically be treated as a key.
4072	+ modify test/keynames.c to allow for the possibility of extended
4073	  key names, e.g., via define_key(), or via "tic -x".
4074	+ add test/demo_termcap.c to show the contents of given entry via the
4075	  termcap interface.
4076
407720050423
4078	+ minor fixes for vt100/vt52 entries -TD
4079	+ add configure option --enable-largefile
4080	+ corrected libraries used to build Ada95/gen/gen, found in testing
4081	  gcc 4.0.0.
4082
408320050416
4084	+ update config.guess, config.sub
4085	+ modify configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, disable that on
4086	  Darwin whose header files have problems (patch by Chris Zubrzycki).
4087	+ modify form library Is_Printable_String() to use iswprint() rather
4088	  than wcwidth() for determining if a character is printable.  The
4089	  latter caused it to reject menu items containing non-spacing
4090	  characters.
4091	+ modify ncurses test program's F-test to handle non-spacing characters
4092	  by combining them with a reverse-video blank.
4093	+ review/fix several gcc -Wconversion warnings.
4094
409520050409
4096	+ correct an off-by-one error in m_driver() for mouse-clicks used to
4097	  position the mouse to a particular item.
4098	+ implement test/demo_menus.c
4099	+ add some checks in lib_mouse to ensure SP is set.
4100	+ modify C++ binding to make 20050403 changes work with the configure
4101	  --enable-const option.
4102
410320050403
4104	+ modify start_color() to return ERR if it cannot allocate memory.
4105	+ address g++ compiler warnings in C++ binding by adding explicit
4106	  member initialization, assignment operators and copy constructors.
4107	  Most of the changes simply preserve the existing semantics of the
4108	  binding, which can leak memory, etc., but by making these features
4109	  visible, it provides a framework for improving the binding.
4110	+ improve C++ binding using static_cast, etc.
4111	+ modify configure script --enable-warnings to add options to g++ to
4112	  correspond to the gcc --enable-warnings.
4113	+ modify C++ binding to use some C internal functions to make it
4114	  compile properly on Solaris (and other platforms).
4115
411620050327
4117	+ amend change from 20050320 to limit it to configurations with a
4118	  valid locale.
4119	+ fix a bug introduced in 20050320 which broke the translation of
4120	  nonprinting characters to uparrow form (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
4121
412220050326
4123	+ add ifdef's for _LP64 in curses.h to avoid using wasteful 64-bits for
4124	  chtype and mmask_t, but add configure option --disable-lp64 in case
4125	  anyone used that configuration.
4126	+ update misc/shlib script to account for Mac OS X (report by Michail
4127	  Vidiassov).
4128	+ correct comparison for wrapping multibyte characters in
4129	  waddch_literal() (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
4130
413120050320
4132	+ add -c and -w options to tset to allow user to suppress ncurses'
4133	  resizing of the terminal emulator window in the special case where it
4134	  is not able to detect the true size (report by Win Delvaux, Debian
4135	  #300419).
4136	+ modify waddch_nosync() to account for locale zn_CH.GBK, which uses
4137	  codes 128-159 as part of multibyte characters (report by Wang
4138	  WenRui, Debian #300512).
4139
414020050319
4141	+ modify ncurses.c 'd' test to make it work with 88-color
4142	  configuration, i.e., by implementing scrolling.
4143	+ improve scrolling in ncurses.c 'c' and 'C' tests, e.g., for 88-color
4144	  configuration.
4145
414620050312
4147	+ change tracemunch to use strict checking.
4148	+ modify ncurses.c 'p' test to test line-drawing within a pad.
4149	+ implement environment variable NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS to support
4150	  miscellaneous terminal emulators which ignore alternate character
4151	  set escape sequences when in UTF-8 mode.
4152
415320050305
4154	+ change NCursesWindow::err_handler() to a virtual function (request by
4155	  Steve Beal).
4156	+ modify fty_int.c and fty_num.c to handle wide characters (report by
4157	  Wolfgang Gutjahr).
4158	+ adapt fix for fty_alpha.c to fty_alnum.c, which also handled normal
4159	  and wide characters inconsistently (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
4160	+ update llib-* files to reflect internal interface additions/changes.
4161
416220050226
4163	+ improve test/configure script, adding tests for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc.,
4164	  from lynx.
4165	+ add aixterm-16color terminfo entry -TD
4166	+ modified xterm-new terminfo entry to work with tgetent() changes -TD
4167	+ extended changes in tgetent() from 20040710 to allow the substring of
4168	  sgr0 which matches rmacs to be at the beginning of the sgr0 string
4169	  (request by Thomas Wolff).  Wolff says the visual effect in
4170	  combination with pre-20040710 ncurses is improved.
4171	+ fix off-by-one in winnstr() call which caused form field validation
4172	  of multibyte characters to ignore the last character in a field.
4173	+ correct logic in winsch() for inserting multibyte strings; the code
4174	  would clear cells after the insertion rather than push them to the
4175	  right (cf: 20040228).
4176	+ fix an inconsistency in Check_Alpha_Field() between normal and wide
4177	  character logic (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
4178
417920050219
4180	+ fix a bug in editing wide-characters in form library: deleting a
4181	  nonwide character modified the previous wide-character.
4182	+ update manpage to describe NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2.
4183	+ correct manpage description of mouseinterval() (Debian #280687).
4184	+ add a note to default_colors.3x explaining why this extension was
4185	  added (Debian #295083).
4186	+ add traces to panel library.
4187
418820050212
4189	+ improve editing of wide-characters in form library:  left/right
4190	  cursor movement, and single-character deletions work properly.
4191	+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM happens to be prefixed with
4192	  "xterm".  Gpm_Open() would otherwise assert that it can deal with
4193	  mouse events in this case.
4194	+ modify GPM mouse support so it closes the server connection when
4195	  the caller disables the mouse (report by Stanislav Ievlev).
4196
419720050205
4198	+ add traces for callback functions in form library.
4199	+ add experimental configure option --enable-ext-mouse, which defines
4200	  NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies the encoding of mouse events to
4201	  support wheel mice, which may transmit buttons 4 and 5.  This works
4202	  with xterm and similar X terminal emulators (prompted by question by
4203	  Andreas Henningsson, this is also related to Debian #230990).
4204	+ improve configure macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE to
4205	  avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin.
4206
420720050129
4208	+ merge remaining development changes for extended colors (mostly
4209	  complete, does not appear to break other configurations).
4210	+ add xterm-88color.dat (part of extended colors testing).
4211	+ improve _tracedump() handling of color pairs past 96.
4212	+ modify return-value from start_color() to return OK if colors have
4213	  already been started.
4214	+ modify curs_color.3x list error conditions for init_pair(),
4215	  pair_content() and color_content().
4216	+ modify pair_content() to return -1 for consistency with init_pair()
4217	  if it corresponds to the default-color.
4218	+ change internal representation of default-color to allow application
4219	  to use color number 255.  This does not affect the total number of
4220	  color pairs which are allowed.
4221	+ add a top-level tags rule.
4222
422320050122
4224	+ add a null-pointer check in wgetch() in case it is called without
4225	  first calling initscr().
4226	+ add some null-pointer checks for SP, which is not set by libtinfo.
4227	+ modify misc/shlib to ensure that absolute pathnames are used.
4228	+ modify test/Makefile.in, etc., to link test programs only against the
4229	  libraries needed, e.g., omit form/menu/panel library for the ones
4230	  that are curses-specific.
4231	+ change SP->_current_attr to a pointer, adjust ifdef's to ensure that
4232	  libtinfo.so and libtinfow.so have the same ABI.  The reason for this
4233	  is that the corresponding data which belongs to the upper-level
4234	  ncurses library has a different size in each model (report by
4235	  Stanislav Ievlev).
4236
423720050115
4238	+ minor fixes to allow test-compiles with g++.
4239	+ correct column value shown in tic's warnings, which did not account
4240	  for leading whitespace.
4241	+ add a check in _nc_trans_string() for improperly ended strings, i.e.,
4242	  where a following line begins in column 1.
4243	+ modify _nc_save_str() to return a null pointer on buffer overflow.
4244	+ improve repainting while scrolling wide-character data (Eungkyu Song).
4245
424620050108
4247	+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
4248
424920050101
4250	+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
4251	+ fix manpage typo (FreeBSD report docs/75544).
4252	+ update config.guess, config.sub
4253	> patches for configure script (Albert Chin-A-Young):
4254	+ improved fix to make mbstate_t recognized on HPUX 11i (cf:
4255	  20030705), making vsscanf() prototype visible on IRIX64.  Tested for
4256	  on HP-UX 11i, Solaris 7, 8, 9, AIX 4.3.3, 5.2, Tru64 UNIX 4.0D, 5.1,
4257	  IRIX64 6.5, Redhat Linux 7.1, 9, and RHEL 2.1, 3.0.
4258	+ print the result of the --disable-home-terminfo option.
4259	+ use -rpath when compiling with SGI C compiler.
4260
426120041225
4262	+ add trace calls to remaining public functions in form and menu
4263	  libraries.
4264	+ fix check for numeric digits in test/ncurses.c 'b' and 'B' tests.
4265	+ fix typo in test/ncurses.c 'c' test from 20041218.
4266
426720041218
4268	+ revise test/ncurses.c 'c' color test to improve use for xterm-88color
4269	  and xterm-256color, added 'C' test using the wide-character color_set
4270	  and attr_set functions.
4271
427220041211
4273	+ modify configure script to work with Intel compiler.
4274	+ fix an limit-check in wadd_wchnstr() which caused labels in the
4275	  forms-demo to be one character short.
4276	+ fix typo in curs_addchstr.3x (Jared Yanovich).
4277	+ add trace calls to most functions in form and menu libraries.
4278	+ update working-position for adding wide-characters when window is
4279	  scrolled (prompted by related report by Eungkyu Song).
4280
428120041204
4282	+ replace some references on Linux to wcrtomb() which use it to obtain
4283	  the length of a multibyte string with _nc_wcrtomb, since wcrtomb() is
4284	  broken in glibc (see Debian #284260).
4285	+ corrected length-computation in wide-character support for
4286	  field_buffer().
4287	+ some fixes to frm_driver.c to allow it to accept multibyte input.
4288	+ modify configure script to work with Intel 8.0 compiler.
4289
429020041127
4291	+ amend change to setupterm() in 20030405 which would reuse the value
4292	  of cur_term if the same output was selected.  This now reuses it only
4293	  when setupterm() is called from tgetent(), which has no notion of
4294	  separate SCREENs.  Note that tgetent() must be called after initscr()
4295	  or newterm() to use this feature (Redhat #140326).
4296	+ add a check in CF_BUILD_CC macro to ensure that developer has given
4297	  the --with-build-cc option when cross-compiling (report by Alexandre
4298	  Campo).
4299	+ improved configure script checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE and
4300	  _POSIX_C_SOURCE (fix for IRIX 5.3 from Georg Schwarz, _POSIX_C_SOURCE
4301	  updates from lynx).
4302	+ cosmetic fix to test/gdc.c to recolor the bottom edge of the box
4303	  for consistency (comment by Dan Nelson).
4304
430520041120
4306	+ update wsvt25 terminfo entry -TD
4307	+ modify test/ins_wide.c to test all flavors of ins_wstr().
4308	+ ignore filler-cells in wadd_wchnstr() when adding a cchar_t array
4309	  which consists of multi-column characters, since this function
4310	  constructs them (cf: 20041023).
4311	+ modify winnstr() to return multibyte character strings for the
4312	  wide-character configuration.
4313
431420041106
4315	+ fixes to make slk_set() and slk_wset() accept and store multibyte
4316	  or multicolumn characters.
4317
431820041030
4319	+ improve color optimization a little by making _nc_do_color() check
4320	  if the old/new pairs are equivalent to the default pair 0.
4321	+ modify assume_default_colors() to not require that
4322	  use_default_colors() be called first.
4323
432420041023
4325	+ modify term_attrs() to use termattrs(), add the extended attributes
4326	  such as enter_horizontal_hl_mode for WA_HORIZONTAL to term_attrs().
4327	+ add logic in waddch_literal() to clear orphaned cells when one
4328	  multi-column character partly overwrites another.
4329	+ improved logic for clearing cells when a multi-column character
4330	  must be wrapped to a new line.
4331	+ revise storage of cells for multi-column characters to correct a
4332	  problem with repainting.  In the old scheme, it was possible for
4333	  doupdate() to decide that only part of a multi-column character
4334	  should be repainted since the filler cells stored only an attribute
4335	  to denote them as fillers, rather than the character value and the
4336	  attribute.
4337
433820041016
4339	+ minor fixes for traces.
4340	+ add SP->_screen_acs_map[], used to ensure that mapping of missing
4341	  line-drawing characters is handled properly.  For example, ACS_DARROW
4342	  is absent from xterm-new, and it was coincidentally displayed the
4343	  same as ACS_BTEE.
4344
434520041009
4346	+ amend 20021221 workaround for broken acs to reset the sgr, rmacs
4347	  and smacs strings as well.  Also modify the check for screen's
4348	  limitations in that area to allow the multi-character shift-in
4349	  and shift-out which seem to work.
4350	+ change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it dynamically
4351	  at runtime (Debian #110586).
4352
435320041002
4354	+ correct logic for color pair in setcchar() and getcchar() (patch by
4355	  Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
4356	+ add t/T commands to ncurses b/B tests to allow a different color to
4357	  be tested for the attrset part of the test than is used in the
4358	  background color.
4359
436020040925
4361	+ fix to make setcchar() to work when its wchar_t* parameter is
4362	  pointing to a string which contains more data than can be converted.
4363	+ modify wget_wstr() and example in ncurses.c to work if wchar_t and
4364	  wint_t are different sizes (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
4365
436620040918
4367	+ remove check in wget_wch() added to fix an infinite loop, appears to
4368	  have been working around a transitory glibc bug, and interferes
4369	  with normal operation (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
4370	+ correct wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not pass the rendition
4371	  information (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
4372	+ fix aclocal.m4 so that the wide-character version of ncurses gets
4373	  compiled as libncursesw.5.dylib, instead of libncurses.5w.dylib
4374	  (adapted from patch by James J Ramsey).
4375	+ change configure script for --with-caps option to indicate that it
4376	  is no longer experimental.
4377	+ change configure script to reflect the fact that --enable-widec has
4378	  not been "experimental" since 5.3 (report by Bruno Lustosa).
4379
438020040911
4381	+ add 'B' test to ncurses.c, to exercise some wide-character functions.
4382
438320040828
4384	+ modify infocmp -i option to match 8-bit controls against its table
4385	  entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry.
4386	+ add morphos terminfo entry, improve amiga-8bit entry (Pavel Fedin).
4387	+ correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap, e.g.,
4388	  using "tic -C" (Redhat #130921).
4389	+ modified configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to ensure that if
4390	  it defines _POSIX_C_SOURCE, that it defines it to a specific value
4391	  (comp.os.stratus newsgroup comment).
4392
439320040821
4394	+ fixes to build with Ada95 binding with gnat 3.4 (all warnings are
4395	  fatal, and gnat does not follow the guidelines for pragmas).
4396	  However that did find a coding error in Assume_Default_Colors().
4397	+ modify several terminfo entries to ensure xterm mouse and cursor
4398	  visibility are reset in rs2 string:  hurd, putty, gnome,
4399	  konsole-base, mlterm, Eterm, screen (Debian #265784, Debian #55637).
4400	  The xterm entries are left alone - old ones for compatibility, and
4401	  the new ones do not require this change. -TD
4402
440320040814
4404	+ fake a SIGWINCH in newterm() to accommodate buggy terminal emulators
4405	  and window managers (Debian #265631).
4406	> terminfo updates -TD
4407	+ remove dch/dch1 from rxvt because they are implemented inconsistently
4408	  with the common usage of bce/ech
4409	+ remove khome from vt220 (vt220's have no home key)
4410	+ add rxvt+pcfkeys
4411
441220040807
4413	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test, adding v/V toggles to cycle through
4414	  combinations of video attributes so that for instance bold and
4415	  underline can be tested.  This made the legend too crowded, added
4416	  a help window as well.
4417	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test to cycle through default colors if
4418	  the -d option is set.
4419	+ update putty terminfo entry (Robert de Bath).
4420
442120040731
4422	+ modify test/cardfile.c to allow it to read more data than can be
4423	  displayed.
4424	+ correct logic in resizeterm.c which kept it from processing all
4425	  levels of window hierarchy (reports by Folkert van Heusden,
4426	  Chris Share).
4427
442820040724
4429	+ modify "tic -cv" to ignore delays when comparing strings.  Also
4430	  modify it to ignore a canceled sgr string, e.g., for terminals which
4431	  cannot properly combine attributes in one control sequence.
4432	+ corrections for gnome and konsole entries (Redhat #122815, patch by
4433	  Hans de Goede)
4434	> terminfo updates -TD
4435	+ make ncsa-m rmacs/smacs consistent with sgr
4436	+ add sgr, rc/sc and ech to syscons entries
4437	+ add function-keys to decansi
4438	+ add sgr to mterm-ansi
4439	+ add sgr, civis, cnorm to emu
4440	+ correct/simplify cup in addrinfo
4441
444220040717
4443	> terminfo updates -TD
4444	+ add xterm-pc-fkeys
4445	+ review/update gnome and gnome-rh90 entries (prompted by Redhat
4446	  #122815).
4447	+ review/update konsole entries
4448	+ add sgr, correct sgr0 for kterm and mlterm
4449	+ correct tsl string in kterm
4450
445120040711
4452	+ add configure option --without-xterm-new
4453
445420040710
4455	+ add check in wget_wch() for printable bytes that are not part of a
4456	  multibyte character.
4457	+ modify wadd_wchnstr() to render text using window's background
4458	  attributes.
4459	+ improve tic's check to compare sgr and sgr0.
4460	+ fix c++ directory's .cc.i rule.
4461	+ modify logic in tgetent() which adjusts the termcap "me" string
4462	  to work with ISO-2022 string used in xterm-new (cf: 20010908).
4463	+ modify tic's check for conflicting function keys to omit that if
4464	  converting termcap to termcap format.
4465	+ add -U option to tic and infocmp.
4466	+ add rmam/smam to linux terminfo entry (Trevor Van Bremen)
4467	> terminfo updates -TD
4468	+ minor fixes for emu
4469	+ add emu-220
4470	+ change wyse acsc strings to use 'i' map rather than 'I'
4471	+ fixes for avatar0
4472	+ fixes for vp3a+
4473
447420040703
4475	+ use tic -x to install terminfo database -TD
4476	+ add -x to infocmp's usage message.
4477	+ correct field used for comparing O_ROWMAJOR in set_menu_format()
4478	  (report/patch by Tony Li).
4479	+ fix a missing nul check in set_field_buffer() from 20040508 changes.
4480	> terminfo updates -TD
4481	  + make xterm-xf86-v43 derived from xterm-xf86-v40 rather than
4482	    xterm-basic -TD
4483	  + align with xterm patch #192's use of xterm-new -TD
4484	  + update xterm-new and xterm-8bit for cvvis/cnorm strings -TD
4485	  + make xterm-new the default "xterm" entry -TD
4486
448720040626
4488	+ correct BUILD_CPPFLAGS substitution in ncurses/Makefile.in, to allow
4489	  cross-compiling from a separate directory tree (report/patch by
4490	  Dan Engel).
4491	+ modify is_term_resized() to ensure that window sizes are nonzero,
4492	  as documented in the manpage (report by Ian Collier).
4493	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro to make Hurd port build
4494	  (Debian #249214, report/patch by Jeff Bailey).
4495	+ configure-script mods from xterm, e.g., updates to CF_ADD_CFLAGS
4496	+ update config.guess, config.sub
4497	> terminfo updates -TD
4498	  + add mlterm
4499	  + add xterm-xf86-v44
4500	  + modify xterm-new aka xterm-xfree86 to accommodate luit, which
4501	    relies on G1 being used via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (report by
4502	    Juliusz Chroboczek)
4503	  + add 'hurd' entry
4504
450520040619
4506	+ reconsidered winsnstr(), decided after comparing other
4507	  implementations that wrapping is an X/Open documentation error.
4508	+ modify test/inserts.c to test all flavors of insstr().
4509
451020040605
4511	+ add setlocale() calls to a few test programs which may require it:
4512	  demo_forms.c, filter.c, ins_wide.c, inserts.c
4513	+ correct a few misspelled function names in ncurses-intro.html (report
4514	  by Tony Li).
4515	+ correct internal name of key_defined() manpage, which conflicted with
4516	  define_key().
4517
451820040529
4519	+ correct size of internal pad used for holding wide-character
4520	  field_buffer() results.
4521	+ modify data_ahead() to work with wide-characters.
4522
452320040522
4524	+ improve description of terminfo if-then-else expressions (suggested
4525	  by Arne Thomassen).
4526	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'd' test, allow it to use external file for
4527	  initial palette (added xterm-16color.dat and linux-color.dat), and
4528	  reset colors to the initial palette when starting/ending the test.
4529	+ change limit-check in init_color() to allow r/g/b component to
4530	  reach 1000 (cf: 20020928).
4531
453220040516
4533	+ modify form library to use cchar_t's rather than char's in the
4534	  wide-character configuration for storing data for field buffers.
4535	+ correct logic of win_wchnstr(), which did not work for more than
4536	  one cell.
4537
453820040508
4539	+ replace memset/memcpy usage in form library with for-loops to
4540	  simplify changing the datatype of FIELD.buf, part of wide-character
4541	  changes.
4542	+ fix some inconsistent use of #if/#ifdef (report by Alain Guibert).
4543
454420040501
4545	+ modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by
4546	  multibyte character strings, in the wide-character configuration
4547	  (adapted from patch by Philipp Tomsich).
4548	+ add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F"
4549	  comparisons.  This modifies infocmp to only report extended
4550	  capabilities if the -x option is given, making this more consistent
4551	  with tic.  Some scripts may break, since infocmp previous gave this
4552	  information without an option.
4553	+ modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the beginning
4554	  of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic.
4555
455620040424
4557	+ minor compiler-warning and test-program fixes.
4558
455920040417
4560	+ modify tic's missing-sgr warning to apply to terminfo only.
4561	+ free some memory leaks in tic.
4562	+ remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending
4563	  beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner).
4564	+ remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
4565	  that extend beyond the screen.  Solaris curses does this.
4566	+ add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older
4567	  curses.
4568	+ add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog.
4569
457020040403
4571	+ modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond
4572	  to an unsigned char.
4573	+ add some limit-checks to guard isprint(), etc., from being used on
4574	  values that do not fit into an unsigned char (report by Sami Farin).
4575
457620040328
4577	+ fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change.
4578
457920040327
4580	+ modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's
4581	  current locale rather than using getenv().  This fixes a case in tin
4582	  which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale
4583	  is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen).
4584	+ add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD.
4585	+ add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr
4586	  string.  This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with
4587	  color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places.
4588	+ correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the
4589	  original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before
4590	  20030802 (Debian #237629).
4591
459220040320
4593	+ modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of
4594	  A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from
4595	  being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the
4596	  raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879).
4597
459820040313
4599	+ fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report
4600	  by Jim Idle).
4601	+ remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses
4602	  some apropos script (Debian #237831).
4603
460420040306
4605	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text,
4606	  set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing
4607	  mode is shown in that test.
4608	+ change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake.
4609	+ correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which
4610	  did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419).
4611
461220040228
4613	+ modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a
4614	  multibyte string.
4615	+ split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it.  X/Open states
4616	  that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other
4617	  insert-functions.  Currently it does not wrap.
4618	+ check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by
4619	  Stanislav Ievlev).
4620	+ split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first.
4621	+ fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC,
4622	  which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report
4623	  by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev).
4624
462520040221
4626	+ some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete
4627	  (request by Mike Aubury).
4628	+ add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of
4629	  stdbool.h, e.g.,
4630		#define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0
4631		#include <curses.h>
4632	  (discussion on XFree86 mailing list).
4633
463420040214
4635	+ modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets
4636	  the name of the terminfo library.  This would allow a packager to
4637	  build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion
4638	  with Stanislav Ievlev).
4639	+ improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and
4640	  $(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew).
4641	+ add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename
4642	  its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to
4643	  ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory
4644	  (prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs).
4645
464620040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
4647	+ update TO-DO.
4648
464920040207 pre-release
4650	+ minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param,
4651	  and do not count %d if it follows a %p.
4652	+ correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255
4653	  range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests.  In POSIX
4654	  locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former
4655	  did.
4656	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac
4657	  OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix
4658	  verified by Scott Corscadden).
4659
466020040131 pre-release
4661	+ modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors
4662	  to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo
4663	  (patch by Stanislav Ievlev).
4664	+ document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage.
4665	+ document special features of unctrl() in manpage.
4666	+ documented interface changes in INSTALL.
4667	+ corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale
4668	  (Debian #230335, cf: 971206).
4669	+ updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
4670	+ fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package.
4671	+ minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5.
4672
467320040125 pre-release
4674	+ amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number
4675	  of cells for a possibly multi-cell character.  The 20030614 change
4676	  forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not
4677	  greater than zero.  However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the
4678	  range 128-255 can give this return value.  The logic now simply
4679	  ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without
4680	  modifying the displayed value.
4681
468220040124 pre-release
4683	+ looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above)
4684	+ modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since
4685	  that works better for cross-compiling.
4686
468720040117 pre-release
4688	+ modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
4689	  work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
4690	  zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
4691	+ add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
4692	  to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
4693	+ add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
4694	+ add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
4695	  Bianchi).
4696	+ modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
4697	  (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz (see Debian
4698	  #227586)).
4699	+ correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
4700	  exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss (see Debian #224443)).
4701	+ modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
4702	+ remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
4703	+ make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
4704	+ improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
4705	  CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
4706	+ add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
4707	  simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
4708	+ add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
4709	  patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
4710	+ fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
4711	  HPUX .so/.sl case.
4712	+ resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
4713	  NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
4714	+ make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
4715	  will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
4716	+ rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool.  The
4717	  intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
4718	  compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
4719	  does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).
4720
472120040110 pre-release
4722	+ change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4
4723	+ revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W
4724	  Sittler).
4725	+ simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the
4726	  configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav
4727	  Ievlev).
4728	+ remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav
4729	  Ievlev).
4730	+ modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs
4731	  such as tic are not linked with the upper-level ncurses library
4732	  (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
4733	+ move version.c from ncurses/base to ncurses/tinfo to allow linking
4734	  of tic, etc., using libtinfo (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
4735
473620040103
4737	+ adjust -D's to build ncursesw on OpenBSD.
4738	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT to make OS/2 build with EXEEXT.
4739	+ add pecho_wchar().
4740	+ remove <wctype.h> include from lib_slk_wset.c which is not needed (or
4741	  available) on older platforms.
4742
474320031227
4744	+ add -D's to build ncursew on FreeBSD 5.1.
4745	+ modify shared library configuration for FreeBSD 4.x/5.x to add the
4746	  soname information (request by Marc Glisse).
4747	+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() to not use MAX_ALIAS, but PATH_MAX only
4748	  for limiting the length of a filename in the terminfo database.
4749	+ modify termname() to return the terminal name used by setupterm()
4750	  rather than $TERM, without truncating to 14 characters as documented
4751	  by X/Open (report by Stanislav Ievlev, cf:  970719).
4752	+ re-add definition for _BSD_TYPES, lost in merge (cf: 20031206).
4753
475420031220
4755	+ add configure option --with-manpage-format=catonly to address
4756	  behavior of BSDI, allow install of man+cat files on NetBSD, whose
4757	  behavior has diverged by requiring both to be present.
4758	+ remove leading blanks from comment-lines in manlinks.sed script to
4759	  work with Tru64 4.0d.
4760	+ add screen.linux terminfo entry (discussion on mutt-users mailing
4761	  list).
4762
476320031213
4764	+ add a check for tic to flag missing backslashes for termcap
4765	  continuation lines.  ncurses reads the whole entry, but termcap
4766	  applications do not.
4767	+ add configure option "--with-manpage-aliases" extending
4768	  "--with-manpage-aliases" to provide the option of generating ".so"
4769	  files rather than symbolic links for manpage aliases.
4770	+ add bool definition in include/curses.h.in for configurations with no
4771	  usable C++ compiler (cf: 20030607).
4772	+ fix pathname of SigAction.h for building with --srcdir (reported by
4773	  Mike Castle).
4774
477520031206
4776	+ folded ncurses/base/sigaction.c into includes of ncurses/SigAction.h,
4777	  since that header is used only within ncurses/tty/lib_tstp.c, for
4778	  non-POSIX systems (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev).
4779	+ remove obsolete _nc_outstr() function (report by Stanislav Ievlev
4780	  <inger@altlinux.org>).
4781	+ add test/background.c and test/color_set.c
4782	+ modify color_set() function to work with color pair 0 (report by
4783	  George Andreou <gbandreo@tem.uoc.gr>).
4784	+ add configure option --with-trace, since defining TRACE seems too
4785	  awkward for some cases.
4786	+ remove a call to _nc_free_termtype() from read_termtype(), since the
4787	  corresponding buffer contents were already zeroed by a memset (cf:
4788	  20000101).
4789	+ improve configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and related definitions,
4790	  adding special cases for Solaris' __EXTENSIONS__ and FreeBSD's
4791	  __BSD_TYPES (reports by Marc Glisse <marc.glisse@normalesup.org>).
4792	+ small fixes to compile on Solaris and IRIX64 using cc.
4793	+ correct typo in check for pre-POSIX sort options in MKkey_defs.sh
4794	  (cf: 20031101).
4795
479620031129
4797	+ modify _nc_gettime() to avoid a problem with arithmetic on unsigned
4798	  values (Philippe Blain).
4799	+ improve the nanosleep() logic in napms() by checking for EINTR and
4800	  restarting (Philippe Blain).
4801	+ correct expression for "%D" in lib_tgoto.c (Juha Jarvi
4802	  <mooz@welho.com>).
4803
480420031122
4805	+ add linux-vt terminfo entry (Andrey V Lukyanov <land@long.yar.ru>).
4806	+ allow "\|" escape in terminfo; tic should not warn about this.
4807	+ save the full pathname of the trace-file the first time it is opened,
4808	  to avoid creating it in different directories if the application
4809	  opens and closes it while changing its working directory.
4810	+ modify configure script to provide a non-empty default for
4811	  $BROKEN_LINKER
4812
481320031108
4814	+ add DJGPP to special case of DOS-style drive letters potentially
4815	  appearing in TERMCAP environment variable.
4816	+ fix some spelling in comments (reports by Jason McIntyre, Jonathon
4817	  Gray).
4818	+ update config.guess, config.sub
4819
482020031101
4821	+ fix a memory leak in error-return from setupterm() (report by
4822	  Stanislav Ievlev <inger@altlinux.org>).
4823	+ use EXEEXT and OBJEXT consistently in makefiles.
4824	+ amend fixes for cross-compiling to use separate executable-suffix
4825	  BUILD_EXEEXT (cf: 20031018).
4826	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for sort utility that does not
4827	  recognize key options, e.g., busybox (report by Peter S Mazinger
4828	  <ps.m@gmx.net>).
4829	+ fix potential out-of-bounds indexing in _nc_infotocap() (found by
4830	  David Krause using some of the new malloc debugging features
4831	  under OpenBSD, patch by Ted Unangst).
4832	+ modify CF_LIB_SUFFIX for Itanium releases of HP-UX, which use a
4833	  ".so" suffix (patch by Jonathan Ward <Jonathan.Ward@hp.com>).
4834
483520031025
4836	+ update terminfo for xterm-xfree86 -TD
4837	+ add check for multiple "tc=" clauses in a termcap to tic.
4838	+ check for missing op/oc in tic.
4839	+ correct _nc_resolve_uses() and _nc_merge_entry() to allow infocmp and
4840	  tic to show cancelled capabilities.  These functions were ignoring
4841	  the state of the target entry, which should be untouched if cancelled.
4842	+ correct comment in tack/output.c (Debian #215806).
4843	+ add some null-pointer checks to lib_options.c (report by Michael
4844	  Bienia).
4845	+ regenerated html documentation.
4846	+ correction to tar-copy.sh, remove a trap command that resulted in
4847	  leaving temporary files (cf: 20030510).
4848	+ remove contact/maintainer addresses for Juergen Pfeifer (his request).
4849
485020031018
4851	+ updated test/configure to reflect changes for libtool (cf: 20030830).
4852	+ fix several places in tack/pad.c which tested and used the parameter-
4853	  and parameterless strings inconsistently, i.e., in pad_rin(),
4854	  pad_il(), pad_indn() and pad_dl() (Debian #215805).
4855	+ minor fixes for configure script and makefiles to cleanup executables
4856	  generated when cross-compiling for DJGPP.
4857	+ modify infocmp to omit check for $TERM for operations that do not
4858	  require it, e.g., "infocmp -e" used to build fallback list (report by
4859	  Egmont Koblinger).
4860
486120031004
4862	+ add terminfo entries for DJGPP.
4863	+ updated note about maintainer in ncurses-intro.html
4864
486520030927
4866	+ update terminfo entries for gnome terminal.
4867	+ modify tack to reset colors after each color test, correct a place
4868	  where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode.
4869	+ improve tack's bce test by making it set colors other than black
4870	  on white.
4871	+ plug a potential recursion between napms() and _nc_timed_wait()
4872	  (report by Philippe Blain).
4873
487420030920
4875	+ add --with-rel-version option to allow workaround to allow making
4876	  libtool on Darwin generate the "same" library names as with the
4877	  --with-shared option.  The Darwin ld program does not work well
4878	  with a zero as the minor-version value (request by Chris Zubrzycki).
4879	+ modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro to work with cross-compiling.
4880	+ modify tack to allow it to run from fallback terminfo data.
4881	> patch by Philippe Blain:
4882	+ improve PutRange() by adjusting call to EmitRange() and corresponding
4883	  return-value to not emit unchanged characters on the end of the
4884	  range.
4885	+ improve a check for changed-attribute by exiting a loop when the
4886	  change is found.
4887	+ improve logic in TransformLine(), eliminating a duplicated comparison
4888	  in the clr_bol logic.
4889
489020030913
4891	> patch by Philippe Blain:
4892	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
4893	  move the label 'nonlocal' just before the second gettimeofday() to
4894	  be able to compute the diff time when 'goto nonlocal' used.
4895	  Rename 'msec' to 'microsec' in the debug-message.
4896	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
4897	  Use _nc_outch() in carriage return/newline movement instead of
4898	  putchar() which goes to stdout.  Move test for xold>0 out of loop.
4899	+ in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c,
4900	  Set the flag SP->_buffered at the end of operations when all has been
4901	  successful (typeMalloc can fail).
4902	+ simplify NC_BUFFERED macro by moving check inside _nc_setbuf().
4903
490420030906
4905	+ modify configure script to avoid using "head -1", which does not
4906	  work if POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set.
4907	+ modify run_tic.in to avoid using wrong shared libraries when
4908	  cross-compiling (Dan Kegel).
4909
491020030830
4911	+ alter configure script help message to make it clearer that
4912	  --with-build-cc does not specify a cross-compiler (suggested by Dan
4913	  Kegel <dank@kegel.com>).
4914	+ modify configure script to accommodate libtool 1.5, as well as add an
4915	  parameter to the "--with-libtool" option which can specify the
4916	  pathname of libtool (report by Chris Zubrzycki).  We note that
4917	  libtool 1.5 has more than one bug in its C++ support, so it is not
4918	  able to install libncurses++, for instance, if $DESTDIR or the option
4919	  --with-install-prefix is used.
4920
492120030823
4922	> patch by Philippe Blain:
4923	+ move assignments to SP->_cursrow, SP->_curscol into online_mvcur().
4924	+ make baudrate computation in delay_output() consistent with the
4925	  assumption in _nc_mvcur_init(), i.e., a byte is 9 bits.
4926
492720030816
4928	+ modify logic in waddch_literal() to take into account zh_TW.Big5
4929	  whose multibyte sequences may contain "printable" characters, e.g.,
4930	  a "g" in the sequence "\247g" (Debian #204889, cf: 20030621).
4931	+ improve storage used by _nc_safe_strcpy() by ensuring that the size
4932	  is reset based on the initialization call, in case it were called
4933	  after other strcpy/strcat calls (report by Philippe Blain).
4934	> patch by Philippe Blain:
4935	+ remove an unused ifdef for REAL_ATTR & WANT_CHAR
4936	+ correct a place where _cup_cost was used rather than _cuu_cost
4937
493820030809
4939	+ fix a small memory leak in _nc_free_termtype().
4940	+ close trace-file if trace() is called with a zero parameter.
4941	+ free memory allocated for soft-key strings, in delscreen().
4942	+ fix an allocation size in safe_sprintf.c for the "*" format code.
4943	+ correct safe_sprintf.c to not return a null pointer if the format
4944	  happens to be an empty string.  This applies to the "configure
4945	  --enable-safe-sprintf" option (Redhat #101486).
4946
494720030802
4948	+ modify casts used for ABSENT_BOOLEAN and CANCELLED_BOOLEAN (report by
4949	  Daniel Jacobowitz).
4950	> patch by Philippe Blain:
4951	+ change padding for change_scroll_region to not be proportional to
4952	  the size of the scroll-region.
4953	+ correct error-return in _nc_safe_strcat().
4954
495520030726
4956	+ correct limit-checks in _nc_scroll_window() (report and test-case by
4957	  Thomas Graf <graf@dms.at> cf: 20011020).
4958	+ re-order configure checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE to avoid conflict with
4959	  _GNU_SOURCE check.
4960
496120030719
4962	+ use clr_eol in preference to blanks for bce terminals, so select and
4963	  paste will have fewer trailing blanks, e.g., when using xterm
4964	  (request by Vincent Lefevre).
4965	+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
4966	+ add configure --with-abi-version option (discussion with Charles
4967	  Wilson).
4968	> cygwin changes from Charles Wilson:
4969	  + aclocal.m4: on cygwin, use autodetected prefix for import
4970	    and static lib, but use "cyg" for DLL.
4971	  + include/ncurses_dll.h: correct the comments to reflect current
4972	    status of cygwin/mingw port.  Fix compiler warning.
4973	  + misc/run_tic.in: ensure that tic.exe can find the uninstalled
4974	    DLL, by adding the lib-directory to the PATH variable.
4975	  + misc/terminfo.src (nxterm|xterm-color): make xterm-color
4976	    primary instead of nxterm, to match XFree86's xterm.terminfo
4977	    usage and to prevent circular links.
4978	    (rxvt): add additional codes from rxvt.org.
4979	    (rxvt-color): new alias
4980	    (rxvt-xpm): new alias
4981	    (rxvt-cygwin): like rxvt, but with special acsc codes.
4982	    (rxvt-cygwin-native): ditto.  rxvt may be run under XWindows, or
4983	    with a "native" MSWin GUI.	Each takes different acsc codes,
4984	    which are both different from the "normal" rxvt's acsc.
4985	    (cygwin): cygwin-in-cmd.exe window.	 Lots of fixes.
4986	    (cygwinDBG): ditto.
4987	  + mk-1st.awk: use "cyg" for the DLL prefix, but "lib" for import
4988	    and static libs.
4989
499020030712
4991	+ update config.guess, config.sub
4992	+ add triples for configuring shared libraries with the Debian
4993	  GNU/FreeBSD packages (patch by Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>).
4994
499520030705
4996	+ modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS so it only applies to gcc, not g++.  Some
4997	  platforms have installed g++ along with the native C compiler, which
4998	  would not accept gcc warning options.
4999	+ add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 when configuring with --enable-widec, to
5000	  get mbstate_t declaration on HPUX 11.11 (report by David Ellement).
5001	+ add _nc_pathlast() to get rid of casts in _nc_basename() calls.
5002	+ correct a sign-extension in wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() from
5003	  20030628 (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
5004	+ work around omission of btowc() and wctob() from wide-character
5005	  support (sic) in NetBSD 1.6 using mbtowc() and wctomb() (report by
5006	  Gabor Z Papp).
5007	+ add portability note to curs_get_wstr.3x (Debian #199957).
5008
500920030628
5010	+ rewrite wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to call waddch() and wechochar()
5011	  respectively, to avoid calling waddch_noecho() with wide-character
5012	  data, since that function assumes its input is 8-bit data.
5013	  Similarly, modify waddnwstr() to call wadd_wch().
5014	+ remove logic from waddnstr() which transformed multibyte character
5015	  strings into wide-characters.  Rewrite of waddch_literal() from
5016	  20030621 assumes its input is raw multibyte data rather than wide
5017	  characters (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
5018
501920030621
5020	+ write getyx() and related 2-return macros in terms of getcury(),
5021	  getcurx(), etc.
5022	+ modify waddch_literal() in case an application passes bytes of a
5023	  multibyte character directly to waddch().  In this case, waddch()
5024	  must reassemble the bytes into a wide-character (report by Tomohiro
5025	  Kubota <kubota@debian.org>).
5026
502720030614
5028	+ modify waddch_literal() in case a multibyte value occupies more than
5029	  two cells.
5030	+ modify PutAttrChar() to compute the number of character cells that
5031	  are used in multibyte values.  This fixes a problem displaying
5032	  double-width characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen
5033	  <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
5034	+ add a null-pointer check for result of keyname() in _tracechar()
5035	+ modify _tracechar() to work around glibc sprintf bug.
5036
503720030607
5038	+ add a call to setlocale() in cursesmain.cc, making demo display
5039	  properly in a UTF-8 locale.
5040	+ add a fallback definition in curses.priv.h for MB_LEN_MAX (prompted
5041	  by discussion with Gabor Z Papp).
5042	+ use macros NCURSES_ACS() and NCURSES_WACS() to hide cast needed to
5043	  appease -Wchar-subscript with g++ 3.3 (Debian #195732).
5044	+ fix a redefinition of $RANLIB in the configure script when libtool
5045	  is used, which broke configure on Mac OS X (report by Chris Zubrzycki
5046	  <beren@mac.com>).
5047	+ simplify ifdef for bool declaration in curses.h.in (suggested by
5048	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
5049	+ remove configure script check to allow -Wconversion for older
5050	  versions of gcc (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young).
5051
505220030531
5053	+ regenerated html manpages.
5054	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in that disabled use of __attribute__()
5055	  for g++, since recent versions implement the cases which ncurses uses
5056	  (Debian #195230).
5057	+ modify _nc_get_token() to handle a case where an entry has no
5058	  description, and capabilities begin on the same line as the entry
5059	  name.
5060	+ fix a typo in ncurses_dll.h reported by gcc 3.3.
5061	+ add an entry for key_defined.3x to man_db.renames.
5062
506320030524
5064	+ modify setcchar() to allow converting control characters to complex
5065	  characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
5066	+ add tkterm entry -TD
5067	+ modify parse_entry.c to allow a terminfo entry with a leading
5068	  2-character name (report by Don Libes).
5069	+ corrected acsc in screen.teraterm, which requires a PC-style mapping.
5070	+ fix trace statements in read_entry.c to use lseek() rather than
5071	  tell().
5072	+ fix signed/unsigned warnings from Sun's compiler (gcc should give
5073	  these warnings, but it is unpredictable).
5074	+ modify configure script to omit -Winline for gcc 3.3, since that
5075	  feature is broken.
5076	+ modify manlinks.sed to add a few functions that were overlooked since
5077	  they return function pointers:  field_init, field_term, form_init,
5078	  form_term, item_init, item_term, menu_init and menu_term.
5079
508020030517
5081	+ prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot
5082	  be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report
5083	  by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.com>).
5084	+ change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted
5085	  by Debian #192860).
5086	+ add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there
5087	  are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the
5088	  current test programs.
5089	+ corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not
5090	  convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it.
5091	+ corrections to lib_get_wstr.c:
5092	  + null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally
5093	    failed.
5094	  + map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into
5095	    key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not
5096	    mentioned in the terminfo.
5097	+ modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line
5098	  drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221).
5099
510020030510
5101	+ make typography for program options in manpages consistent (report
5102	  by Miloslav Trmac <mitr@volny.cz>).
5103	+ correct dependencies in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, so the builds with
5104	  "--srcdir" work (report by Warren L Dodge).
5105	+ correct missing definition of $(CC) in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in
5106	  (reported by Warren L Dodge <warrend@mdhost.cse.tek.com>).
5107	+ fix typos and whitespace in manpages (patch by Jason McIntyre
5108	  <jmc@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl>).
5109
511020030503
5111	+ fix form_driver() cases for REQ_CLR_EOF, REQ_CLR_EOL, REQ_DEL_CHAR,
5112	  REQ_DEL_PREV and REQ_NEW_LINE, which did not ensure the cursor was at
5113	  the editing position before making modifications.
5114	+ add test/demo_forms and associated test/edit_field.c demos.
5115	+ modify test/configure.in to use test/modules for the list of objects
5116	  to compile rather than using the list of programs.
5117
511820030419
5119	+ modify logic of acsc to use the original character if no mapping is
5120	  defined, noting that Solaris does this.
5121	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to avoid using the acs_map[] array since
5122	  20021231 changes it to no longer contain information from the acsc
5123	  string.
5124	+ modify makefile rules in c++, progs, tack and test to ensure that
5125	  the compiler flags (e.g., $CFLAGS or $CCFLAGS) are used in the link
5126	  command (report by Jose Luis Rico Botella <informatica@serpis.com>).
5127	+ modify soft-key initialization to use A_REVERSE if A_STANDOUT would
5128	  not be shown when colors are used, i.e., if ncv#1 is set in the
5129	  terminfo as is done in "screen".
5130
513120030412
5132	+ add a test for slk_color(), in ncurses.c
5133	+ fix some issues reported by valgrind in the slk_set() and slk_wset()
5134	  code, from recent rewrite.
5135	+ modify ncurses 'E' test to use show previous label via slk_label(),
5136	  as in 'e' test.
5137	+ modify wide-character versions of NewChar(), NewChar2() macros to
5138	  ensure that the whole struct is initialized.
5139
514020030405
5141	+ modify setupterm() to check if the terminfo and terminal-modes have
5142	  already been read.  This ensures that it does not reinvoke
5143	  def_prog_mode() when an application calls more than one function,
5144	  such as tgetent() and initscr() (report by Olaf Buddenhagen).
5145
514620030329
5147	+ add 'E' test to ncurses.c, to exercise slk_wset().
5148	+ correct handling of carriage-return in wgetn_wstr(), used in demo of
5149	  slk_wset().
5150	+ first draft of slk_wset() function.
5151
515220030322
5153	+ improved warnings in tic when suppressing items to fit in termcap's
5154	  1023-byte limit.
5155	+ built a list in test/README showing which externals are being used
5156	  by either programs in the test-directory or via internal library
5157	  calls.
5158	+ adjust include-options in CF_ETIP_DEFINES to avoid missing
5159	  ncurses_dll.h, fixing special definitions that may be needed for
5160	  etip.h (reported by Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>).
5161
516220030315
5163	+ minor fixes for cardfile.c, to make it write the updated fields to
5164	  a file when ^W is given.
5165	+ add/use _nc_trace_bufcat() to eliminate some fixed buffer limits in
5166	  trace code.
5167
516820030308
5169	+ correct a case in _nc_remove_string(), used by define_key(), to avoid
5170	  infinite loop if the given string happens to be a substring of other
5171	  strings which are assigned to keys (report by John McCutchan).
5172	+ add key_defined() function, to tell which keycode a string is bound
5173	  to (discussion with John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org>).
5174	+ correct keybound(), which reported definitions in the wrong table,
5175	  i.e., the list of definitions which are disabled by keyok().
5176	+ modify demo_keydef.c to show the details it changes, and to check
5177	  for errors.
5178
517920030301
5180	+ restructured test/configure script, make it work for libncursesw.
5181	+ add description of link_fieldtype() to manpage (report by
5182	  L Dee Holtsclaw <dee@sunbeltsoft.com>).
5183
518420030222
5185	+ corrected ifdef's relating to configure check for wchar_t, etc.
5186	+ if the output is a socket or other non-tty device, use 1 millisecond
5187	  for the cost in mvcur; previously it was 9 milliseconds because the
5188	  baudrate was not known.
5189	+ in _nc_get_tty_mode(), initialize the TTY buffer on error, since
5190	  glibc copies uninitialized data in that case, as noted by valgrind.
5191	+ modify tput to use the same parameter analysis as tparm() does, to
5192	  provide for user-defined strings, e.g., for xterm title, a
5193	  corresponding capability might be
5194		title=\E]2;%p1%s^G,
5195	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid passing "#" tokens through the C
5196	  preprocessor.  This works around Mac OS X's preprocessor, which
5197	  insists on adding a blank on each side of the token (report/analysis
5198	  by Kevin Murphy <murphy@genome.chop.edu>).
5199
520020030215
5201	+ add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely
5202	  on preprocessor definitions.  Also work around for gcc fixinclude
5203	  bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols
5204	  apparently typedef'd.
5205	+ if database is disabled, do not generate run_tic.sh
5206	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking when termcap is read.
5207
520820030208
5209	+ add checking in tic for incomplete line-drawing character mapping.
5210	+ updated configure script to reflect fix for AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL,
5211	  which is broken in autoconf 2.5x for Mac OS X 10.2.3 (report by
5212	  Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl>).
5213	+ make return value from _nc_printf_string() consistent.  Before,
5214	  depending on whether --enable-safe-sprintf was used, it might not be
5215	  cached for reallocating.
5216
521720030201
5218	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking in lib_tparm.c, hardscroll.c
5219	+ correct a potentially-uninitialized value if _read_termtype() does
5220	  not read as much data as expected (report by Wolfgang Rohdewald
5221	  <wr6@uni.de>).
5222	+ correct several places where the aclocal.m4 macros relied on cache
5223	  variable names which were incompatible (as usual) between autoconf
5224	  2.13 and 2.5x, causing the test for broken-linker to give incorrect
5225	  results (reports by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl> and Thomas Esser
5226	  <te@dbs.uni-hannover.de>).
5227	+ do not try to open gpm mouse driver if standard output is not a tty;
5228	  the gpm library does not make this check (bug report for dialog
5229	  by David Oliveira <davidoliveira@develop.prozone.ws>).
5230
523120030125
5232	+ modified emx.src to correspond more closely to terminfo.src, added
5233	  emx-base to the latter -TD
5234	+ add configure option for FreeBSD sysmouse, --with-sysmouse, and
5235	  implement support for that in lib_mouse.c, lib_getch.c
5236
523720030118
5238	+ revert 20030105 change to can_clear_with(), does not work for the
5239	  case where the update is made on cells which are blanks with
5240	  attributes, e.g., reverse.
5241	+ improve ifdef's to guard against redefinition of wchar_t and wint_t
5242	  in curses.h (report by Urs Jansen).
5243
524420030111
5245	+ improve mvcur() by checking if it is safe to move when video
5246	  attributes are set (msgr), and if not, reset/restore attributes
5247	  within that function rather than doing it separately in the GoTo()
5248	  function in tty_update.c (suggested by Philippe Blain).
5249	+ add a message in run_tic.in to explain more clearly what does not
5250	  work when attempting to create a symbolic link for /usr/lib/terminfo
5251	  on OS/2 and other platforms with no symbolic links (report by John
5252	  Polterak).
5253	+ change several sed scripts to avoid using "\+" since it is not a BRE
5254	  (basic regular expression).  One instance caused terminfo.5 to be
5255	  misformatted on FreeBSD (report by Kazuo Horikawa
5256	  <horikawa@FreeBSD.org> (see FreeBSD docs/46709)).
5257	+ correct misspelled 'wint_t' in curs_get_wch.3x (Michael Elkins).
5258
525920030105
5260	+ improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic
5261	  variables (comments by Mark I Manning IV <mark4th@earthlink.net>).
5262	+ demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to
5263	  use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a
5264	  specialized type for the middle initial/name.
5265	+ fix MKterminfo.sh, another workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature
5266	  of sed 4.0
5267	> patch by Philippe Blain:
5268	+ optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter
5269	  is indeed a "blank".
5270	+ simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear
5271	  sections as small as one line.
5272	+ improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying
5273	  to use it.
5274	+ use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since
5275	  the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines
5276	  affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region.
5277
527820021231
5279	+ rewrite of lib_acs.c conflicts with copying of SCREEN acs_map to/from
5280	  global acs_map[] array; removed the lines that did the copying.
5281
528220021228
5283	+ change some overlooked tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp()
5284	  (report by Philippe Blain).
5285	+ modify lib_getch.c to avoid recursion via wgetnstr() when the input
5286	  is not a tty and consequently mode-changes do not work (report by
5287	  <R.Chamberlin@querix.com>).
5288	+ rewrote lib_acs.c to allow PutAttrChar() to decide how to render
5289	  alternate-characters, i.e., to work with Linux console and UTF-8
5290	  locale.
5291	+ correct line/column reference in adjust_window(), needed to make
5292	  special windows such as curscr track properly when resizing (report
5293	  by Lucas Gonze <lgonze@panix.com>).
5294	> patch by Philippe Blain:
5295	+ correct the value used for blank in ClrBottom() (broken in 20000708).
5296	+ correct an off-by-one in GoTo() parameter in _nc_scrolln().
5297
529820021221
5299	+ change several tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp(), to
5300	  enable padding which may be needed for some terminals (patch by
5301	  Philippe Blain).
5302	+ use '%' as sed substitute delimiter in run_tic script to avoid
5303	  problems with pathname delimiters such as ':' and '@' (report by John
5304	  Polterak).
5305	+ implement a workaround so that line-drawing works with screen's
5306	  crippled UTF-8 support (tested with 3.9.13).  This only works with
5307	  the wide-character support (--enable-widec); the normal library will
5308	  simply suppress line-drawing when running in a UTF-8 locale in screen.
5309
531020021214
5311	+ allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
5312	  overridden from the environment.
5313	+ make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with
5314	  the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki).
5315	+ modify ncurses/modules to allow
5316		configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs
5317	  to build (report by Gary Samuelson).
5318	+ fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by
5319	  Gary Samuelson <gary.samuelson@verizon.com>).
5320	+ correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which
5321	  force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report
5322	  by Sam Varshavchik).
5323	+ small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which
5324	  gnatmake adds to its version-message.
5325	> Maciej W Rozycki <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>:
5326	+ use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross
5327	  compiling.
5328	+ use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
5329	  comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
5330	  traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.
5331	+ change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host"
5332	  when referring to the --with-build-XXX options.
5333
533420021206
5335	+ modify CF_GNAT_VERSION to print gnatmake's version, and to allow for
5336	  possible gnat versions such as 3.2 (report by Chris Lingard
5337	  <chris@stockwith.co.uk>).
5338	+ modify #define's for CKILL and other default control characters in
5339	  tset to use the system's default values if they are defined.
5340	+ correct interchanged defaults for kill and interrupt characters
5341	  in tset, which caused it to report unnecessarily (Debian #171583).
5342	+ repair check for missing C++ compiler, which is broken in autoconf
5343	  2.5x by hardcoding it to g++ (report by Martin Mokrejs).
5344	+ update config.guess, config.sub (2002-11-30)
5345	+ modify configure script to skip --with-shared, etc., when the
5346	  --with-libtool option is given, since they would be ignored anyway.
5347	+ fix to allow "configure --with-libtool --with-termlib" to build.
5348	+ modify configure script to show version number of libtool, to help
5349	  with bug reports.  libtool still gets confused if the installed
5350	  ncurses libraries are old, since it ignores the -L options at some
5351	  point (tested with libtool 1.3.3 and 1.4.3).
5352	+ reorder configure script's updating of $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to
5353	  prevent -I options in the user's environment from introducing
5354	  conflicts with the build -I options (may be related to reports by
5355	  Patrick Ash and George Goffe).
5356	+ rename test/define_key.c to test/demo_defkey.c, test/keyok.c to
5357	  test/demo_keyok.c to allow building these with libtool.
5358
535920021123
5360	+ add example program test/define_key.c for define_key().
5361	+ add example program test/keyok.c for keyok().
5362	+ add example program test/ins_wide.c for wins_wch() and wins_wstr().
5363	+ modify wins_wch() and wins_wstr() to interpret tabs by using the
5364	  winsch() internal function.
5365	+ modify setcchar() to allow for wchar_t input strings that have
5366	  more than one spacing character.
5367
536820021116
5369	+ fix a boundary check in lib_insch.c (patch by Philippe Blain).
5370	+ change type for *printw functions from NCURSES_CONST to const
5371	  (prompted by comment by Pedro Palhoto Matos <plpm@mega.ist.utl.pt>,
5372	  but really from a note on X/Open's website stating that either is
5373	  acceptable, and the latter will be used in a future revision).
5374	+ add xterm-1002, xterm-1003 terminfo entries to demonstrate changes in
5375	  lib_mouse.c (20021026) -TD
5376	+ add screen-bce, screen-s entries from screen 3.9.13 (report by
5377	  Adam Lazur <zal@debian.org>) -TD
5378	+ add mterm terminfo entries -TD
5379
538020021109
5381	+ split-out useful fragments in terminfo for vt100 and vt220 numeric
5382	  keypad, i.e., vt100+keypad, vt100+pfkeys, vt100+fnkeys and
5383	  vt220+keypad.  The last as embedded in various entries had ka3 and
5384	  kb2 interchanged (report/discussion with Leonard den Ottolander
5385	  <leonardjo@hetnet.nl>).
5386	+ add check in tic for keypads consistent with vt100 layout.
5387	+ improve checks in tic for color capabilities
5388
538920021102
5390	+ check for missing/empty/illegal terminfo name in _nc_read_entry()
5391	  (report by Martin Mokrejs, where $TERM was set to an empty string).
5392	+ rewrote lib_insch.c, combining it with lib_insstr.c so both handle
5393	  tab and other control characters consistently (report by Philippe
5394	  Blain).
5395	+ remove an #undef for KEY_EVENT from curses.tail used in the
5396	  experimental NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS feature.  The #undef confuses
5397	  dpkg's build script (Debian #165897).
5398	+ fix MKlib_gen.sh, working around the ironically named POSIXLY_CORRECT
5399	  feature of GNU sed 4.0 (reported by Ervin Nemeth <airwin@inf.bme.hu>).
5400
540120021026
5402	+ implement logic in lib_mouse.c to handle position reports which are
5403	  generated when XFree86 xterm is initialized with private modes 1002
5404	  or 1003.  These are returned to the application as the
5405	  REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION mask, which was not implemented.  Tested both
5406	  with ncurses 'a' menu (prompted by discussion with Larry Riedel
5407	  <Larry@Riedel.org>).
5408	+ modify lib_mouse.c to look for "XM" terminfo string, which allows
5409	  one to override the escape sequence used to enable/disable mouse
5410	  mode.  In particular this works for XFree86 xterm private modes
5411	  1002 and 1003.  If "XM" is missing (note that this is an extended
5412	  name), lib_mouse uses the conventional private mode 1000.
5413	+ correct NOT_LOCAL() macro in lib_mvcur.c to refer to screen_columns
5414	  where it used screen_lines (report by Philippe Blain).
5415	+ correct makefile rules for the case when both --with-libtool and
5416	  --with-gpm are given (report by Mr E_T <troll@logi.net.au>).
5417	+ add note to terminfo manpage regarding the differences between
5418	  setaf/setab and setf/setb capabilities (report by Pavel Roskin).
5419
542020021019
5421	+ remove redundant initialization of TABSIZE in newterm(), since it is
5422	  already done in setupterm() (report by Philippe Blain).
5423	+ add test/inserts.c, to test winnstr() and winsch().
5424	+ replace 'sort' in dist.mk with script that sets locale to POSIX.
5425	+ update URLs in announce.html.in (patch by Frederic L W Meunier).
5426	+ remove glibc add-on files, which are no longer needed (report by
5427	  Frederic L W Meunier).
5428
542920021012 5.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
5430	+ modify ifdef's in etip.h.in to allow the etip.h header to compile
5431	  with gcc 3.2 (patch by Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy@is-vn.bg>).
5432	+ add logic to setupterm() to make it like initscr() and newterm(),
5433	  by checking for $NCURSES_TRACE environment variable and enabling
5434	  the debug trace in that case.
5435	+ modify setupterm() to ensure that it initializes the baudrate, for
5436	  applications such as tput (report by Frank Henigman).
5437	+ modify definition of bits used for command-line and library debug
5438	  traces to avoid overlap, using new definition TRACE_SHIFT to relate
5439	  the two.
5440	+ document tput's interpretation of parameterized strings according to
5441	  whether parameters are given, etc. (discussion with Robert De Bath).
5442
544320021005 pre-release
5444	+ correct winnwstr() to account for non-character cells generated when
5445	  a double-width character is added (report by Michael Bienia
5446	  <michael@vorlon.ping.de>).
5447	+ modify _nc_viswbuf2n() to provide better results using wctomb().
5448	+ correct logic in _nc_varargs() which broke tracing of parameters for
5449	  formats such as "%.*s".
5450	+ correct scale factor in linux-c and linux-c-nc terminfo entries
5451	  (report Floyd Davidson).
5452	+ change tic -A option to -t, add the same option to infocmp for
5453	  consistency.
5454	+ correct "%c" implementation in lib_tparm.c, which did not map a null
5455	  character to a 128 (cf: 980620) (patch by Frank Henigman
5456	  <fjhenigman@mud.cgl.uwaterloo.ca>).
5457
545820020928 pre-release
5459	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for POSIX sort -k option, use that if
5460	  it is found, to accommodate newer utility which dropped the
5461	  compatibility support for +number options (reported by Andrey A
5462	  Chernov).
5463	+ modify linux terminfo entry to use color palette feature from
5464	  linux-c-nc entry (comments by Tomasz Wasiak and Floyd Davidson).
5465	+ restore original color definitions in endwin() if init_color() was
5466	  used, and resume those colors on the next doupdate() or refresh()
5467	  (report by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@komputom.com.pl>).
5468	+ improve debug-traces by modifying MKlib_gen.sh to generate calls
5469	  to returnBool() and returnAttr().
5470	+ add/use _nc_visbufn() and _nc_viswbufn() to limit the debug trace
5471	  of waddnstr() and similar functions to match the parameters as used.
5472	+ add/use _nc_retrace_bool() and _nc_retrace_unsigned().
5473	+ correct type used by _nc_retrace_chtype().
5474	+ add debug traces to some functions in lib_mouse.c
5475	+ modify lib_addch.c to handle non-spacing characters.
5476	+ correct parameter of RemAttr() in lib_bkgd.c, which caused the c++
5477	  demo's boxes to lose the A_ALTCHARSET flag (broken in 20020629).
5478	+ correct width computed in _tracedump(), which did not account for
5479	  the attributes (broken in 20010602).
5480	+ modify test/tracemunch to replace addresses for windows other than
5481	  curscr, newscr and stdscr with window0, window1, etc.
5482
548320020921 pre-release
5484	+ redid fix for edit_man.sed path.
5485	+ workaround for Cygwin bug which makes subprocess writes to stdout
5486	  result in core dump.
5487	+ documented getbegx(), etc.
5488	+ minor fixes to configure script to use '%' consistently as a sed
5489	  delimiter rather than '@'.
5490	> patch by Philippe Blain:
5491	+ add check in lib_overlay.c to ensure that the windows to be merged
5492	  actually overlap, and in copywin(), limit the area to be touched
5493	  to the lines given for the destination window.
5494
549520020914 pre-release
5496	+ modified curses.h so that if the wide-character version is installed
5497	  overwriting /usr/include/curses.h, and if it relied on libutf8.h,
5498	  then applications that use that header for wide-character support
5499	  must define HAVE_LIBUTF8_H.
5500	+ modify putwin(), getwin() and dupwin() to allow them to operate on
5501	  pads (request by Philippe Blain).
5502	+ correct attribute-merging in wborder(), broken in 20020216 (report
5503	  by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@grubasek.komputom.com.pl>).
5504	> patch by Philippe Blain:
5505	+ corrected pop-counts in tparam_internal() to '!' and '~' cases.
5506	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in one place that used sizeof(chtype).
5507	+ remove some unused variables from mvcur test-driver.
5508
550920020907 pre-release
5510	+ change configure script to allow install of widec-character
5511	  (ncursesw) headers to overwrite normal (ncurses) headers, since the
5512	  latter is a compatible subset of the former.
5513	+ fix path of edit_man.sed in configure script, needed to regenerate
5514	  html manpages on Debian.
5515	+ fix mismatched enums in vsscanf.c, which caused warning on Solaris.
5516	+ update README.emx to reflect current patch used for autoconf.
5517	+ change web- and ftp-site to invisible-island.net
5518	> patch by Philippe Blain:
5519	+ change case for 'P' in tparam_internal() to indicate that it pops
5520	  a variable from the stack.
5521	+ correct sense of precision and width in parse_format(), to avoid
5522	  confusion.
5523	+ modify lib_tparm.c, absorb really_get_space() into get_space().
5524	+ modify getwin() and dupwin() to copy the _notimeout, _idlok and
5525	  _idcok window fields.
5526	+ better fix for _nc_set_type(), using typeMalloc().
5527
552820020901 pre-release
5529	+ change minor version to 3, i.e., ncurses 5.3
5530	+ update config.guess, config.sub
5531	+ retest build with each configure option; minor ifdef fixes.
5532	+ make keyname() return a null pointer rather than "UNKNOWN STRING" to
5533	  match XSI.
5534	+ modify handling of wide line-drawing character functions to use the
5535	  normal line-drawing characters when not in UTF-8 locale.
5536	+ add check/fix to comp_parse.c to suppress warning about missing acsc
5537	  string.  This happens in configurations where raw termcap information
5538	  is processed; tic already does this and other checks.
5539	+ modify tic's check for ich/ich1 versus rmir/smir to only warn about
5540	  ich1, to match xterm patch #70 notes.
5541	+ moved information for ripped-off lines into SCREEN struct to allow
5542	  use in resizeterm().
5543	+ add experimental wgetch_events(), ifdef'd with NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
5544	  (adapted from patch by Ilya Zakharevich - see ncurses/README.IZ).
5545	+ amend check in kgetch() from 20020824 to look only for function-keys,
5546	  otherwise escape sequences are not resolved properly.
5547	> patch by Philippe Blain:
5548	+ removed redundant assignment to SP->_checkfd from newterm().
5549	+ check return-value of setupterm() in restartterm().
5550	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in a few places that used sizeof(chtype).
5551	+ prevent dupwin() from duplicating a pad.
5552	+ prevent putwin() from writing a pad.
5553	+ use typeRealloc() or typeMalloc() in preference to direct calls on
5554	  _nc_doalloc().
5555
555620020824
5557	+ add a check in kgetch() for cooked characters in the fifo to avoid
5558	  calling fifo_push() when a KEY_RESIZE is available (report/analysis
5559	  by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>).
5560	+ fix an overlooked case for Redhat #68199 (Philippe Blain).
5561	+ ensure clearerr() is called before using ferror() e.g., in
5562	  lib_screen.c (report by Philippe Blain).
5563
556420020817
5565	+ modify lib_screen.c and lib_newwin.c to maintain the SCREEN-specific
5566	  pointers for curscr/stdscr/newscr when scr_save() and scr_restore()
5567	  modify the global curscr/stdscr/newscr variables.  Fixes Redhat
5568	  #68199.
5569	+ add checks for null pointer in calls to tparm() and tgoto() based on
5570	  FreeBSD bug report.  If ncurses were built with termcap support, and
5571	  the first call to tgoto() were a zero-length string, the result would
5572	  be a null pointer, which was not handled properly.
5573	+ correct a typo in terminfo.head, which gave the octal code for colon
5574	  rather than comma.
5575	+ remove the "tic -u" option from 20020810, since it did not account
5576	  for nested "tc=" clauses, and when that was addressed, was still
5577	  unsatisfactory.
5578
557920020810
5580	+ add tic -A option to suppress capabilities which are commented out
5581	  when translating to termcap.
5582	+ add tic -u option to provide older behavior of "tc=" clauses.
5583	+ modified tic to expand all but the final "tc=" clause in a termcap
5584	  entry, to accommodate termcap libraries which do not handle multiple
5585	  tc clauses.
5586	+ correct typo in curs_inopts.3x regarding CS8/CS7 usage (report by
5587	  Philippe Blain).
5588	+ remove a couple of redundant uses of A_ATTRIBUTES in expressions
5589	  using AttrOf(), which already incorporates that mask (report by
5590	  Philippe Blain).
5591	+ document TABSIZE variable.
5592	+ add NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS environment variable, to allow users to
5593	  override compiled-in default black-on-white assumption used in
5594	  assume_default_colors().
5595	+ correct an off-by-one comparison against max_colors in COLORFGBG
5596	  logic.
5597	+ correct a use of uninitialized memory found by valgrind (reported by
5598	  Olaf Buddenhagen <olafBuddenhagen@web.de>).
5599	+ modified wresize() to ensure that a failed realloc will not corrupt
5600	  the window structure, and to make subwindows fit within the resized
5601	  window (completes Debian #87678, Debian #101699)
5602
560320020803
5604	+ fix an off-by-one in lib_pad.c check for limits of pad (patch by
5605	  Philippe Blain).
5606	+ revise logic for BeOS in lib_twait.c altered in 20011013 to restore
5607	  logic used by lib_getch.c's support for GPM or EMX mouse (report by
5608	  Philippe Blain)
5609	+ remove NCURSES_CONST from several prototypes in curses.wide, to make
5610	  the --enable-const --enable-widec configure options to work together
5611	  (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@yahoo.com>).
5612
561320020727
5614	+ finish no-leak checking in cardfile.c, using this for testing changes
5615	  to resizeterm().
5616	+ simplify _nc_freeall() using delscreen().
5617
561820020720
5619	+ check error-return from _nc_set_tty_mode() in _nc_initscr() and
5620	  reset_prog_mode() (report/patch by Philippe Blain).
5621	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52, to address
5622	  problem with identifying C++ bool type.
5623	+ correct/improve logic to produce an exit status for errors in tput,
5624	  which did not exit with an error when told to put a string not in the
5625	  current terminfo entry (report by David Gomez <david@pleyades.net>).
5626	+ modify configure script AC_OUTPUT() call to work around defect in
5627	  autoconf 2.52 which adds an ifdef'd include to the generated
5628	  configure definitions.
5629	+ remove fstat() check from scr_init(), which also fixes a missing
5630	  include for <sys/stat.h> from 20020713 (reported by David Ellement,
5631	  fix suggested by Philippe Blain).
5632	+ update curs_scanw.3x manpage to note that XSI curses differs from
5633	  SVr4 curses: return-values are incompatible.
5634	+ correct several prototypes in manpages which used const
5635	  inconsistently with the curses.h file, and removed spurious const's
5636	  in a few places from curses.h, e.g., for wbkgd() (report by Glenn
5637	  Maynard <glenn@zewt.org>).
5638	+ change internal type used by tparm() to long, to work with LP64 model.
5639	+ modify nc_alloc.h to allow building with g++, for testing.
5640
564120020713
5642	+ add resize-handling to cardfile.c test program.
5643	+ altered resizeterm() to avoid having it fail when a child window
5644	  cannot be resized because it would be larger than its parent.  (More
5645	  work must be done on this, but it works well enough to integrate).
5646	+ improve a limit-check in lib_refresh.c
5647	+ remove check in lib_screen.c relating dumptime to file's modification
5648	  times, since that would not necessarily work for remotely mounted
5649	  filesystems.
5650	+ modify lrtest to simplify debugging changes to resizeterm, e.g.,
5651	  t/T commands to enable/disable tracing.
5652	+ updated status of multibyte support in TO-DO.
5653	+ update contact info in source-files (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
5654
565520020706
5656	+ add Caps.hpux11, as an example.
5657	+ modify version_filter(), used to implement -R option for tic and
5658	  infocmp, to use computed array offsets based on the Caps.* file which
5659	  is actually configured, rather than constants which correspond to
5660	  the Caps file.
5661	+ reorganized lib_raw.c to avoid updating SP and cur_term state if the
5662	  functions fail (reported by Philippe Blain).
5663	+ add -Wundef to gcc warnings, adjust a few ifdef's to accommodate gcc.
5664
566520020629
5666	+ correct parameters to setcchar() in ncurses.c (cf: 20020406).
5667	+ set locale in most test programs (view.c and ncurses.c were the
5668	  only ones).
5669	+ add configure option --with-build-cppflags (report by Maksim A
5670	  Nikulin <M.A.Nikulin@inp.nsk.su>).
5671	+ correct a typo in wide-character logic for lib_bkgnd.c (Philippe
5672	  Blain).
5673	+ modify lib_wacs.c to not cancel the acsc, smacs, rmacs strings when
5674	  in UTF-8 locale.  Wide-character functions use Unicode values, while
5675	  narrow-character functions use the terminfo data.
5676	+ fix a couple of places in Ada95/samples which did not compile with
5677	  gnat 3.14
5678	+ modify mkinstalldirs so the DOS-pathname case is locale-independent.
5679	+ fix locale problem in MKlib_gen.sh by forcing related variables to
5680	  POSIX (C), using same approach as autoconf (set variables only if
5681	  they were set before).  Update MKterminfo.sh and MKtermsort.sh to
5682	  match.
5683
568420020622
5685	+ add charset to generated html.
5686	+ add mvterm entry, adapted from a FreeBSD bug-report by Daniel Rudy
5687	  <dcrudy@pacbell.net> -TD
5688	+ add rxvt-16color, ibm+16color entries -TD
5689	+ modify check in --disable-overwrite option so that it is used by
5690	  default unless the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr, in attempt to
5691	  work around packagers, e.g., for Sun's freeware, who do not read the
5692	  INSTALL notes.
5693
569420020615
5695	+ modify wgetch() to allow returning ungetch'd KEY_RESIZE as a function
5696	  key code in get_wch().
5697	+ extended resize-handling in test/ncurses 'a' menu to the entire
5698	  stack of windows created with 'w' commands.
5699	+ improve $COLORFGBG feature by interpreting an out-of-range color
5700	  value as an SGR 39 or 49, for foreground/background respectively.
5701	+ correct a typo in configure --enable-colorfgbg option, and move it
5702	  to the experimental section (cf: 20011208).
5703
570420020601
5705	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to remove function-key definitions that do
5706	  not fit into the 1023-byte limit for generated termcaps.  This makes
5707	  hds200 fit.
5708	+ more improvements to tic's warnings, including logic to ignore
5709	  differences between delay values in sgr strings.
5710	+ move definition of KEY_RESIZE into MKkeydefs.sh script, to
5711	  accommodate Caps.osf1r5 which introduced a conflicting definition.
5712
571320020525
5714	+ add simple resize-handling in test/ncurses.c 'a' menu.
5715	+ fixes in keyname() and _tracechar() to handle negative values.
5716	+ make tic's warnings about mismatches in sgr strings easier to follow.
5717	+ correct tic checks for number of parameters in smgbp and smglp.
5718	+ improve scoansi terminfo entry, and add scoansi-new entry -TD
5719	+ add pcvt25-color terminfo entry -TD
5720	+ add kf13-kf48 strings to cons25w terminfo entry (reported by Stephen
5721	  Hurd <deuce@lordlegacy.org> in newsgroup lucky.freebsd.bugs) -TD
5722	+ add entrypoint _nc_trace_ttymode(), use this to distinguish the
5723	  Ottyb and Nttyb members of terminal (aka cur_term), for tracing.
5724
572520020523
5726	+ correct and simplify logic for lib_pad.c change in 20020518 (reported
5727	  by Mike Castle).
5728
572920020518
5730	+ fix lib_pad.c for case of drawing a double-width character which
5731	  falls off the left margin of the pad (patch by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij
5732	  <lerdsuwa@users.sourceforge.net>)
5733	+ modify configure script to work around broken gcc 3.1 "--version"
5734	  option, which adds unnecessary trash to the requested information.
5735	+ adjust ifdef's in case SIGWINCH is not defined, e.g., with DJGPP
5736	  (reported by Ben Decker <deckerben@freenet.de>).
5737
573820020511
5739	+ implement vid_puts(), vid_attr(), term_attrs() based on the narrow-
5740	  character versions as well.
5741	+ implement erasewchar(), killwchar() based on erasechar() and
5742	  killchar().
5743	+ modify erasechar() and killchar() to return ERR if the value was
5744	  VDISABLE.
5745	+ correct a bug in wresize() in handling subwindows (based on patch by
5746	  Roger Gammans <rgammans@computer-surgery.co.uk>, report by Scott Beck
5747	  <scott@gossamer-threads.com>).
5748	+ improve test/tclock.c by making the second-hand update more often
5749	  if gettimeofday() is available.
5750
575120020429
5752	+ workaround for Solaris sed with MKlib_gen.sh (reported by Andy
5753	  Tsouladze <andyt@mypoints.com>).
5754
575520020427
5756	+ correct return-value from getcchar(), making it consistent with
5757	  Solaris and Tru64.
5758	+ reorder loops that generate makefile rules for different models vs
5759	  subsets so configure --with-termlib works again.  This was broken by
5760	  logic added to avoid duplicate rules in changes to accommodate cygwin
5761	  dll's (reported by George.R.Goffe@seagate.com).
5762	+ update config.guess, config.sub
5763
576420020421
5765	+ modify ifdef's in write_entry.c to allow use of symbolic links on
5766	  platforms with no hard links, e.g., BeOS.
5767	+ modify a few includes to allow compile with BeOS, which has stdbool.h
5768	  with a conflicting definition for 'bool' versus its OS.h definition.
5769	+ amend MKlib_gen.sh to work with gawk, which defines 'func' as an
5770	  alias for 'function'.
5771
577220020420
5773	+ correct form of prototype for ripoffline().
5774	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to test that all functions marked as implemented
5775	  can be linked.
5776
577720020413
5778	+ add manpages: curs_get_wstr.3x, curs_in_wchstr.3x
5779	+ implement wgetn_wstr().
5780	+ implement win_wchnstr().
5781	+ remove redefinition of unget_wch() in lib_gen.c (reported by
5782	  Jungshik Shin <jshin@jtan.com>).
5783
578420020406
5785	+ modified several of the test programs to allow them to compile with
5786	  vendor curses implementations, e.g., Solaris, AIX -TD
5787
578820020323
5789	+ modified test/configure to allow configuring against ncursesw.
5790	+ change WACS_xxx definition to use address, to work like Tru64 curses.
5791
579220020317
5793	+ add 'e' and 'm' toggles to 'a', 'A' tests in ncurses.c to demonstrate
5794	  effect of echo/noecho and meta modes.
5795	+ add 'A' test to ncurses.c to demonstrate wget_wch() and related
5796	  functions.
5797	+ add manpage: curs_get_wch.3x
5798	+ implement unget_wch().
5799	+ implement wget_wch().
5800
580120020310
5802	+ regenerated html manpages.
5803	+ add manpages: curs_in_wch.3x, curs_ins_wch.3x, curs_ins_wstr.3x
5804	+ implement wins_wch().
5805	+ implement win_wch().
5806	+ implement wins_nwstr(), wins_wstr().
5807
580820020309
5809	+ add manpages: curs_addwstr.3x, curs_winwstr.3x
5810	+ implement winnwstr(), winwstr().
5811
581220020223
5813	+ add manpages: curs_add_wchstr.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x
5814	+ document wunctrl, key_name.
5815	+ implement key_name().
5816	+ remove const's in lib_box.c incorrectly leftover after splitting off
5817	  lib_box_set.c
5818	+ update llib-lncurses, llib-ncursesw, fix configure script related to
5819	  these.
5820
582120020218
5822	+ remove quotes on "SYNOPSIS" in man/curs_box_set.3x, which resulted
5823	  in spurious symlinks on install.
5824
582520020216
5826	+ implement whline_set(), wvline_set(), add manpage curs_border_set.
5827	+ add subtest 'b' to 'F' and 'f' in ncurses.c to demonstrate use of
5828	  box() and box_set() functions.
5829	+ add subtest 'u' to 'F' in ncurses.c, to demonstrate use of addstr()
5830	  given UTF-8 string equivalents of WACS_xxx symbols.
5831	+ minor fixes to several manpages based on groff -ww output.
5832	+ add descriptions of external variables of termcap interface to
5833	  the manpage (report by Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au>).
5834	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
5835	+ correct configure option --with-bool, which was executed as
5836	  --with-ospeed.
5837	+ add quotes for parameters of --with-bool and --with-ospeed configure
5838	  options.
5839	> patch by Sven Verdoolaege (report by Gerhard Haering
5840	  <haering_linux@gmx.de>):
5841	+ correct typos in definitions of several wide-character macros:
5842	  waddwstr, wgetbkgrnd, mvaddwstr, mvwadd_wchnstr, mvwadd_wchnstr,
5843	  mvwaddwstr.
5844	+ pass $(CPPFLAGS) to MKlib_gen.sh, thereby fixing a missing definition
5845	  of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, e.g., on Solaris
5846
584720020209
5848	+ implement wide-acs characters for UTF-8 locales.  When in UTF-8
5849	  locale, ignore narrow version of acs.  Add 'F' test to test/ncurses.c
5850	  to demonstrate.
5851	+ correct prototype in keybound manpage (noted from a Debian mailing
5852	  list item).
5853
585420020202
5855	+ add several cases to the wscanw() example in testcurs.c, showing the
5856	  format.
5857	+ implement a simple vsscanf() fallback function which uses the %n
5858	  conversion to help parse the input data (prompted by discussion with
5859	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
5860	+ modify mk-1st.awk and test/Makefile.in to add $(LDFLAGS) when making
5861	  shared libraries, and to use $(CFLAGS) when linking test programs
5862	  (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
5863	+ add a call to _nc_keypad() in keypad() to accommodate applications
5864	  such as nvi, which use curses for output but not for input (fixes
5865	  Debian #131263, cf: 20011215).
5866	+ add entrypoints to resizeterm.c which provide better control over the
5867	  process:  is_term_resized() and resize_term().  The latter restores
5868	  the original design of resizeterm() before KEY_RESIZE was added in
5869	  970906.  Do this to accommodate 20010922 changes to view.c, but allow
5870	  for programs with their own sigwinch handler, such as lynx (reported
5871	  by Russell Ruby <russ@math.orst.edu>).
5872
587320020127
5874	+ fix a typo in change to mk-1st.awk, which broke the shared-library
5875	  makefile rules (reported by Martin Mokrejs).
5876
587720020126
5878	+ update config.guess, config.sub
5879	+ finish changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
5880	+ fix a typo in mvwchat() macro (reported by Cy <yam@homerow.net).
5881
588220020119
5883	+ add case in lib_baudrate.c for B921600 (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
5884	+ correct missing sed-editing stage in manpage installs which is used
5885	  to rename manpages, broken in 20010324 fix for Debian #89939 (Debian
5886	  #78866).
5887	+ remove -L$(libdir) from linker flags, probably not needed any more
5888	  since HPUX is handled properly (reported by Niibe Yutaka
5889	  <gniibe@m17n.org>).
5890	+ add configure check for mbstate_t, needed for wide-character
5891	  configuration.  On some platforms we must include <wchar.h> to
5892	  define this (reported by Daniel Jacobowitz).
5893	+ incorporate some of the changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
5894
589520020112a
5896	+ workaround for awk did not work with mawk, adjusted shell script.
5897
589820020112
5899	+ add Caps.osf1r5, as an example.
5900	+ modify behavior of can_clear_with() so that if an application is
5901	  running in a non-bce terminals with default colors enabled, it
5902	  returns true, allowing the user to select/paste text without picking
5903	  up extraneous trailing blanks (adapted from patch by Daniel
5904	  Jacobowitz <dmj+@andrew.cmu.edu>).
5905	+ modify generated curses.h to ifdef-out prototypes for extensions if
5906	  they are disabled, and to define curses_version() as a string in that
5907	  case.  This is needed to make the programs such as tic build in that
5908	  configuration.
5909	+ modified generated headers.sh to remove a gzip'd version of the
5910	  target file if it exists, in case non-gzip'd manpages are installed
5911	  into a directory where gzip'd ones exist.  In that case, the latter
5912	  would be found.
5913	+ corrected a redundant initialization of signal handlers from 20010922
5914	  changes.
5915	+ clarified bug-reporting address in terminfo.src (report by John H
5916	  DuBois III <spcecdt@armory.com>).
5917	> several fixes from Robert Joop:
5918	+ do not use "-v" option of awk in MKkey_defs.sh because it does not
5919	  work with SunOS nawk.
5920	+ modify definitions for libutf8 in curses.h to avoid redefinition
5921	  warnings for mblen
5922	+ quoted references to compiler in shell command in misc/Makefile, in
5923	  case it uses multiple tokens.
5924
592520011229
5926	+ restore special case from 20010922 changes to omit SA_RESTART when
5927	  setting up SIGWINCH handler, which is needed to allow wgetch() to be
5928	  interrupted by that signal.
5929	+ updated configure macro CF_WITH_PATHLIST, to omit some double quotes
5930	  not needed with autoconf 2.52
5931	+ revert configure script to autoconf 2.13 patched with
5932		autoconf-2.13-19990117.patch.gz (or later)
5933	  from
5934		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
5935	  because autoconf 2.52 macro AC_PROG_AWK does not work on HPUX 11.0
5936	  (report by David Ellement <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).  This also fixes a
5937	  different problem configuring with Mac OS X (reported by Marc Smith
5938	  <marc.a.smith@home.com>).
5939
594020011222
5941	+ modify include/edit_cfg.h to eliminate BROKEN_LINKER symbol from
5942	  term.h
5943	+ move prototype for _nc_vsscanf() into curses.h.in to omit
5944	  HAVE_VSSCANF symbol from curses.h, which was dependent upon the
5945	  ncurses_cfg.h file which is not installed.
5946	+ use ACS_LEN rather than SIZEOF(acs_map) in trace code of lib_acs.c,
5947	  to work with broken linker configuration, e.g., cygwin (report by
5948	  Robert Joop <rj@rainbow.in-berlin.de>).
5949	+ make napms() call _nc_timed_wait() rather than poll() or select(),
5950	  to work around broken implementations of these on cygwin.
5951
595220011218
5953	+ drop configure macro CF_WIDEC_SHIFT, since that was rendered obsolete
5954	  by Sven Verdoolaege's rewrite of wide-character support.  This makes
5955	  libncursesw incompatible again, but makes the header files almost the
5956	  same as in the narrow-character configuration.
5957	+ simplify definitions that combine wide/narrow versions of bkgd, etc.,
5958	  to eliminate differences between the wide/narrow versions of curses.h
5959	+ correct typo in configure macro CF_FUNC_VSSCANF
5960	+ correct location of call to _nc_keypad() from 20011215 changes which
5961	  prevented keypad() from being disabled (reported by Lars Hecking).
5962
596320011215
5964	+ rewrote ncurses 'a' test to exercise wgetch() and keypad() functions
5965	  better, e.g., by adding a 'w' command to create new windows which
5966	  may have different keypad() settings.
5967	+ corrected logic of keypad() by adding internal screen state to track
5968	  whether the terminal's keypad-mode has been set.  Use this in
5969	  wgetch() to update the keypad-mode according to whether the
5970	  associated window's keypad-mode has been set with keypad().  This
5971	  corrects a related problem restoring terminal state after handling
5972	  SIGTSTP (reported by Mike Castle).
5973	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52
5974		autoconf-2.52-patch.gz
5975	  at
5976		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
5977	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
5978		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
5979	+ minor changes to quoting in configure script to allow it to work
5980	  with autoconf 2.52
5981
598220011208
5983	+ modify final checks in lib_setup.c for line and col values, making
5984	  them independent.
5985	+ modify acs_map[] if configure --broken-linker is specified, to make
5986	  it use a function rather than an array (prompted by an incorrect
5987	  implementation in cygwin package).
5988	+ correct spelling of configure option --enable-colorfgbg, which
5989	  happened to work if --with-develop was set (noted in cygwin package
5990	  for ncurses).
5991	+ modify ifdef for genericerror() to compile with SUNWspro Sun WorkShop
5992	  6 update 1 C++ 5.2 (patch by Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>).
5993	+ add configure checks to see if ncurses' fallback vsscanf() will
5994	  compile either of the special cases for FILE structs, and if not,
5995	  force it to the case which simply returns an error (report by
5996	  Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu> indicates that Solaris 8 with
5997	  64-bits does not allow access to FILE's fields).
5998	+ modify ifdef's for c++/cursesw.cc to use the fallback vsscanf() in
5999	  the ncurses library if no better substitute for this can be found
6000	  in the C++ runtime.
6001	+ modify the build to name dynamic libraries according to the
6002	  convention used on OS X and Darwin.  Rather than something like
6003	  libncurses.dylib.5.2, Darwin would name it libncurses.  5.dylib.
6004	  There are a few additional minor fixes, such as setting the library
6005	  version and compatibility version numbers (patch by Jason Evans
6006	  <jevans@apple.com>).
6007	+ use 'sh' to run mkinstalldirs, to work around problems with buggy
6008	  versions of 'make' on OS/2 (report by John Polterak <jp@eyup.org>).
6009	+ correct typo in manpage description of curs_set() (Debian #121548).
6010	+ replace the configure script existence-check for mkstemp() by one
6011	  that checks if the function works, needed for older glibc and
6012	  AmigaOS.
6013
601420011201
6015	+ modify script that generates fallbacks.c to compile a temporary
6016	  copy of the terminfo source in case the host does not contain all of
6017	  the entries requested for fallbacks (request by Greg Roelofs).
6018	+ modify configure script to accommodate systems such as Mac OS X whose
6019	  <stdbool.h> header defines a 'bool' type inconsistent with ncurses,
6020	  which normally makes 'bool' consistent with C++.  Include <stdbool.h>
6021	  from curses.h to force consistent usage, define a new type
6022	  NCURSES_BOOL and related that to the exported 'bool' as either a
6023	  typedef or definition, according to whether <stdbool.h> is present
6024	  (based on a bug report for tin 1.5.9 by Aaron Adams <adamsa@mac.com>).
6025
602620011124
6027	+ added/updated terminfo entries for M$ telnet and KDE konsole -TD
6028
602920011117
6030	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
6031	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
6032	+ add putty terminfo entry -TD
6033	+ if configuring for wide-curses, define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, since
6034	  this may not otherwise be defined to make test/view.c compile.
6035
603620011110
6037	+ review/correct several missing/generated items in curses.wide, sorted
6038	  the lists to make subsequent diff's easier to track.
6039
604020011103
6041	+ add manual pages for add_wch(), echo_wchar(), getcchar(),
6042	  mvadd_wch(), mvwadd_wch(), setcchar(), wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar().
6043	+ implement wecho_wchar()
6044	+ modify _tracedump() to handle wide-characters by mapping them to '?'
6045	  and control-characters to '.', to make the trace file readable.  Also
6046	  dynamically allocate the buffer used by _tracedump() for formatting
6047	  the results.
6048	+ modify T_CALLED/T_RETURN macros to ease balancing call/return lines
6049	  in a trace by using curly braces.
6050	+ implement _nc_viscbuf(), for tracing cchar_t arrays.
6051	+ correct trace-calls in setcchar() and getcchar() functions, which
6052	  traced the return values but not the entry to each function.
6053	+ correct usage message in test/view.c, which still mentioned -u flag.
6054
605520011027
6056	+ modify configure script to allow building with termcap only, or with
6057	  fallbacks only.  In this case, we do not build tic and toe.
6058	+ add configure --with-termpath option, to override default TERMPATH
6059	  value of /etc/termcap:/usr/share/misc/termcap.
6060	+ cosmetic change to tack: make menu descriptions agree with menu
6061	  titles.
6062
606320011020
6064	+ rewrote limit-checks in wscrl() and associated _nc_scroll_window(),
6065	  to ensure that if the parameter of wscrl() is larger than the size of
6066	  the scrolling region, then the scrolling region will be cleared
6067	  (report by Ben Kohlen <bckohlen@yahoo.com>).
6068	+ add trace/varargs.c, using this to trace parameters in lib_printw.c
6069	+ implement _tracecchar_t2() and _tracecchar_t().
6070	+ split-out trace/visbuf.c
6071	+ correct typo in lib_printw.c changes from 20010922 (report by Mike
6072	  Castle).
6073
607420011013
6075	+ modify run_tic.sh to check if the build is a cross-compile.  In that
6076	  case, do not use the build's tic to install the terminfo database
6077	  (report by Rafael Rodriguez Velilla <rrv@tid.es>).
6078	+ modify mouse click resolution so that mouseinterval(-1) will disable
6079	  it, e.g., to handle touchscreens via a slow connection (request by
6080	  Byron Stanoszek <gandalf@winds.org>).
6081	+ correct mouseinterval() default value shown in curs_mouse.3x
6082	+ remove conflicting definition of mouse_trafo() (reported by Lars
6083	  Hecking, using gcc 2.95.3).
6084
608520011001
6086	+ simpler fix for signal_name(), to replace the one overlooked in
6087	  20010929 (reported by Larry Virden).
6088
608920010929
6090	+ add -i option to view.c, to test ncurses' check for non-default
6091	  signal handler for SIGINT, etc.
6092	+ add cases for shared-libraries on Darwin/OS X (patch by Rob Braun
6093	  <bbraun@synack.net>).
6094	+ modify tset to restore original I/O modes if an error is encountered.
6095	  Also modify to use buffered stderr consistently rather than mixing
6096	  with write().
6097	+ change signal_name() function to use if-then-else rather than case
6098	  statement, since signal-values aren't really integers (reported by
6099	  Larry Virden).
6100	+ add limit checks in wredrawln(), fixing a problem where lynx was
6101	  repainting a pad which was much larger than the screen.
6102
610320010922
6104	+ fix:  PutRange() was counting the second part of a wide character as
6105	  part of a run, resulting in a cursor position that was one too far
6106	  (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
6107	+ modify resizeterm() to not queue a KEY_RESIZE if there was no
6108	  SIGWINCH, thereby separating the two styles of SIGWINCH handling
6109	  in test/view.c
6110	+ simplified lib_tstp.c, modify it to use SA_RESTART flag for SIGWINCH.
6111	+ eliminate several static buffers in the terminfo compiler, using
6112	  allocated buffers.
6113	+ modify MKkeyname.awk so that keyname() does not store its result into
6114	  a static buffer that is overwritten by the next call.
6115	+ reorganize the output of infocmp -E and -e options to compile cleanly
6116	  with gcc -Wwrite-strings warnings.
6117	+ remove redefinition of chgat/wchgat/mvwchgat from curses.wide
6118
611920010915
6120	+ add label to test/view.c, showing the name of the last key or signal
6121	  that made the screen repaint, to make it clearer when a sigwinch
6122	  does this.
6123	+ use ExitProgram() consistently in the test-programs to make it
6124	  simpler to test leaks with dmalloc, etc.
6125	+ move hashtab static data out of hashmap.c into SCREEN struct.
6126	+ make NO_LEAK code compile with revised WINDOWLIST structs.
6127
612820010908
6129	+ modify tgetent() to check if exit_attribute_mode resets the alternate
6130	  character set, and if so, attempt to adjust the copy of the termcap
6131	  "me" string which it will return to eliminate that part.  In
6132	  particular, 'screen' would lose track of line-drawing characters
6133	  (report by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>, analysis by
6134	  Michael Schroeder).
6135
613620010901
6137	+ specify DOCTYPE in html manpages.
6138	+ add missing macros for several "generated" functions:  attr_get(),
6139	  attr_off(), attr_on(), attr_set(), chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat() and
6140	  mouse_trafo().
6141	+ modify view.c to agree with non-experimental status of ncurses'
6142	  sigwinch handler:
6143	  + change the sense of the -r option, making it default to ncurses'
6144	    sigwinch handler.
6145	  + add a note explaining what functions are unsafe in a signal
6146	    handler.
6147	  + add a -c option, to set color display, for testing.
6148	+ unset $data variable in MKterminfo.sh script, to address potential
6149	  infinite loop if shell malfunction (report by Samuel Mikes
6150	  <smikes@cubane.com>, for bash 2.05.0 on a Linux 2.0.36 system).
6151	+ change kbs in mach terminfo entries to ^?  (Marcus Brinkmann
6152	  <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>).
6153	+ correct logic for COLORFGBG environment variable: if rxvt is compiled
6154	  with xpm support, the variable has three fields, making it slightly
6155	  incompatible with itself.  In either case, the background color is
6156	  the last field.
6157
615820010825
6159	+ move calls to def_shell_mode() and def_prog_mode() before loop with
6160	  callbacks in lib_set_term.c, since the c++ demo otherwise initialized
6161	  the tty modes before saving them (patch by John David Anglin
6162	  <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>).
6163	+ duplicate logic used to initialize trace in newterm(), in initscr()
6164	  to avoid confusing trace of initscr().
6165	+ simplify allocation of WINDOW and WINDOWLIST structs by making the
6166	  first a part of the second rather than storing a pointer.  This saves
6167	  a call to malloc for each window (discussion with Philippe Blain).
6168	+ remove unused variable 'used_ncv' from lib_vidattr.c (Philippe
6169	  Blain).
6170	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to accommodate archive programs that are
6171	  different for C++ than for C, and add cases for vendor's C++
6172	  compilers on Solaris and IRIX (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
6173	+ correct manpage description of criteria for deciding if the terminal
6174	  supports xterm mouse controls.
6175	+ add several configure script options to aid with cross-compiling:
6176	  --with-build-cc, --with-build-cflags, --with-build-ldflags, and
6177	  --with-build-libs (request by Greg Roelofs).
6178	+ change criteria for deciding if configure is cross-compiling from
6179	  host/build mismatch to host/target mismatch (request by Greg Roelofs
6180	  <greg.roelofs@philips.com>).
6181	+ correct logic for infocmp -e and -E options which writes the data for
6182	  the ext_Names[] array.  This is needed if one constructs a fallback
6183	  table for a terminfo entry which uses extended termcap names, e.g.,
6184	  AX in a color xterm.
6185	+ fix undefined NCURSES_PATHSEP when configure --disable-database
6186	  option is given.
6187
618820010811
6189	+ fix for VALID_BOOLEAN() macro when char is not signed.
6190	+ modify 'clean' rule for C++ binding to work with Sun compiler, which
6191	  caches additional information in a subdirectory of the objects.
6192	+ added llib-ncursesw.
6193
619420010804
6195	+ add Caps.keys example for experimental extended function keys
6196	  (adapted from a patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
6197	+ correct parameter types of vidputs() and vidattr() to agree with
6198	  header files (report by William P Setzer).
6199	+ fix typos in several man-pages (patch by William P Setzer).
6200	+ remove unneeded ifdef for __GNUG__ in CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC configure
6201	  macro, which made ncurses C++ binding fail to build with other
6202	  C++ compilers such as HPUX 11.x (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
6203	+ workaround for bug in HPUX 11.x C compiler: add a blank after
6204	  NCURSES_EXPORT macro in form.h (report by Albert Chin-A-Young)
6205	+ ignore blank lines in Caps* files in MKkey_defs.sh script (report by
6206	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
6207	+ correct definition of key_end in Caps.aix4, which left KEY_END
6208	  undefined (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
6209	+ remove a QNX-specific fallback prototype for vsscanf(), which is
6210	  obsolete with QNX RTP.
6211	+ review/fix some of the T() and TR() macro calls, having noticed that
6212	  there was no data for delwin() in a trace of dialog because there was
6213	  no returnVoid call for wtimeout().  Also, traces in lib_twait.c are
6214	  now selected under TRACE_IEVENT rather than TRACE_CALLS.
6215
621620010728
6217	+ add a _nc_access() check before opening files listed via $TERMPATH.
6218	+ using modified man2html, regenerate some of the html manpages to fix
6219	  broken HREF's where the link was hyphenated.
6220
622120010721
6222	+ add some limit/pointer checks to -S option of tputs.
6223	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
6224	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
6225	+ add a note in curs_termcap.3x regarding a defect in the XSI
6226	  description of tgetent (based on a discussion with Urs Jansen
6227	  regarding the HPUX 11.x implementation, whose termcap interface is
6228	  not compatible with existing termcap programs).
6229	+ modify manhtml rule in dist.mk to preserve copyright notice on the
6230	  generated files, as well as to address HTML style issues reported by
6231	  tidy and weblint.  Regenerated/updated corresponding html files.
6232	+ comment out use of Protected_Character and related rarely used
6233	  attributes in ncurses Ada95 test/demo to compile with wide-character
6234	  configuration.
6235
623620010714
6237	+ implement a simple example in C++ demo to test scanw().
6238	+ corrected stdio function used to implement scanw() in cursesw.cc
6239	+ correct definition of RemAttr() macro from 20010602 changes, which
6240	  caused C++ SillyDemo to not show line-drawing characters.
6241	+ modify C++ binding, adding getKey() which can be overridden by user
6242	  to substitute functions other than getch() for keyboard processing
6243	  of forms and menus (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6244
624520010707
6246	+ fix some of the trace calls which needed modification to work with
6247	  new wide-character structures.
6248	+ modify magic-cookie code in tty_update.c to compile with new
6249	  wide-character structures (report by <George.R.Goffe@seagate.com>).
6250	+ ensure that _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined in curses.priv.h if
6251	  compiling for wide-character configuration.
6252	+ make addwnstr() handle non-spacing characters (patch by Sven
6253	  Verdoolaege).
6254
625520010630
6256	+ add configure check to define _GNU_SOURCE, needed to prop up glibc
6257	  header files.
6258	+ split-out include/curses.wide to solve spurious redefinitions caused
6259	  by defining _GNU_SOURCE, and move includes for <signal.h> before
6260	  <curses.h> to work around misdefinition of ERR in glibc 2.1.3 header
6261	  file.
6262	+ extended ospeed change to NetBSD and OpenBSD -TD
6263	+ modify logic in lib_baudrate.c for ospeed, for FreeBSD to make it
6264	  work properly for termcap applications (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
6265
626620010623
6267	+ correct an overlooked CharOf/UChar instance (reports by Eugene Lee
6268	  <eugene@anime.net>, Sven Verdoolaege).
6269	+ correct unneeded ifdef for wunctrl() (reported by Sven Verdoolaege)
6270
627120010618
6272	+ change overlooked several CharOf/UChar instances.
6273	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
6274	+ correct a typo in wunctrl(), which made it appear that botwc() was
6275	  needed (no such function: use btowc()).
6276	+ reimplement wide-character demo in test/view.c, using new functions.
6277	+ implement getcchar(), setcchar(), wadd_wchnstr() and related macros.
6278	+ fix a syntax problem with do/if/while in PUTC macro (curses.priv.h).
6279
628020010616
6281	+ add parentheses in macros for malloc in test.priv.h, fixes an
6282	  expression in view.c (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.co.at>).
6283	+ add Caps.uwin, as an example.
6284	+ change the way curses.h is generated, making the list of function
6285	  key definitions extracted from the Caps file.
6286	+ add #undef's before possible redefinition of ERR and OK in curses.h
6287	+ modify logic in tic, toe, tput and tset which checks for basename of
6288	  argv[0] to work properly on systems such as OS/2 which have
6289	  case-independent filenames and/or program suffixes, e.g., ".ext".
6290
629120010609
6292	+ add a configure check, if --enable-widec is specified, for putwc(),
6293	  which may be in libutf8.
6294	+ remove some unnecessary text from curs_extend.3x and
6295	  default_colors.3x which caused man-db to make incorrect symbolic
6296	  links (Debian #99550).
6297	+ add configure check if cast for _IO_va_list is needed to compile
6298	  C++ vscan code (Debian #97945).
6299	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
6300	+ correct code that used non-standard auto-initialization of a struct,
6301	  which gcc allows (report by Larry Virden).
6302	+ use putwc() in PUTC() macro.
6303	+ make addstr() work for the special case where the codeset is
6304	  non-stateful (eg. UTF-8), as well as stateful codesets.
6305
630620010603
6307	+ correct loop expression in NEXT_CHAR macro for lib_addstr.c changes
6308	  from 20010602 (report by Mike Castle).
6309
631020010602
6311	+ modify mvcur() to avoid emitting newline characters when nonl() mode
6312	  is set.  Normally this is not a problem since the actual terminal
6313	  mode is set to suppress nl/crlf translations, however it is useful to
6314	  allow the caller to manipulate the terminal mode to avoid staircasing
6315	  effects after spawning a process which writes messages (for lynx
6316	  2.8.4) -TD
6317	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org>:
6318	+ remove redundant type-conversion in fifo_push()
6319	+ correct definition of addwstr() macro in curses.h.in
6320	+ remove _nc_utf8_outch()
6321	+ rename most existing uses of CharOf() to UChar(), e.g., where it is
6322	  used to prevent sign-extension in ctype macros.
6323	+ change some chtype's to attr_t's where the corresponding variables
6324	  are used to manipulate attributes.
6325	+ UpdateAttr() was applied to both attributes (attr_t) and characters
6326	  (chtype).  Modify macro and calls to it to make these distinct.
6327	+ add CharEq() macro, use in places where wide-character configuration
6328	  implementation uses a struct for cchar_t.
6329	+ moved struct ldat into curses.priv.h, to hide implementation details.
6330	+ change CharOf() macro to use it for masking A_CHARTEXT data from
6331	  chtype's.
6332	+ add L() macro to curses.priv.h, for long-character literals.
6333	+ replace several assignments from struct ldat entries to chtype or
6334	  char values with combinations of CharOf() and AttrOf() macros.
6335	+ add/use intermediate ChAttrOf() and ChCharOf() macros where we know
6336	  we are using chtype data.
6337	+ add/use lowlevel attribute manipulation macros AddAttr(), RemAttr()
6338	  and SetAttr().
6339	+ add/use SetChar() macro, to change a cchar_t based on a character and
6340	  attributes.
6341	+ convert most internal use of chtype to NCURSES_CH_T, to simplify use
6342	  of cchar_t for wide-character configuration.  Similarly, use ARG_CH_T
6343	  where a pointer would be more useful.
6344	+ add stubs for tracing cchar_t values.
6345	+ add/use macro ISBLANK()
6346	+ add/use constructors for cchar_t's: NewChar(), NewChar2().
6347	+ add/use macros CHREF(), CHDEREF(), AttrOfD(), CharOfD() to facilitate
6348	  passing cchar_t's by address.
6349	+ add/use PUTC_DATA, PUTC() macros.
6350	+ for wide-character configuration, move the window background data to
6351	  the end of the WINDOW struct so that whether _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
6352	  is defined or not, the offsets in the struct will not change.
6353	+ modify addch() to work with wide-characters.
6354	+ mark several wide-character functions as generated in curses.h.in
6355	+ implement wunctrl(), wadd_wch(), wbkgrndset(), wbkgrnd(),
6356	  wborder_set() and waddnwstr().
6357
635820010526
6359	+ add experimental --with-caps=XXX option to customize to similar
6360	  terminfo database formats such as AIX 4.x
6361	+ add Caps.aix4 as an example.
6362	+ modify Caps to add columns for the the KEY_xxx symbols.
6363	+ modify configure --with-widec to suppress overwrite of libcurses.so
6364	  and curses.h
6365	+ add checks to toe.c to avoid being confused by files and directories
6366	  where we would expect the reverse, e.g., source-files in the
6367	  top-level terminfo levels as is the case for AIX.
6368
636920010519
6370	+ add top-level 'depend' rule for the C sources, assuming that the
6371	  makedepend program is available.  As a side-effect, this makes
6372	  the generated sources, as in "make sources" (prompted by a report
6373	  by Mike Castle that "make -j" fails because the resulting parallel
6374	  processes race to generate ncurses/names.c).
6375	+ modify configure script so that --disable-overwrite option's action
6376	  to add a symbolic link for libcurses applies to the static library as
6377	  well as the shared library when both are configured (report by Felix
6378	  Natter <f.natter@ndh.net>).
6379	+ add ELKS terminfo entries (Federico Bianchi
6380	  <bianchi@www.arte.unipi.it>)
6381	+ add u6 (CSR) to Eterm (Michael Jennings).
6382
638320010512
6384	+ modify test/ncurses.c to work with xterm-256color, which has fewer
6385	  color pairs than colors*colors (report by David Ellement
6386	  <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).
6387
638820010505
6389	+ corrected screen.xterm-xfree86 entry.
6390	+ update comment in Caps regarding IBM (AIX) function-key definitions.
6391
639220010421
6393	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to link with libncurses++w.a when configured
6394	  for wide-characters (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
6395	+ add check in _nc_trace_buf() to refrain from freeing a null pointer.
6396	+ improve CF_PROG_INSTALL macro using CF_DIRNAME.
6397	+ update config.guess, config.sub from autoconf 2.49e (alpha).
6398
639920010414
6400	+ add secondary check in tic.c, similar_sgr() to see if the reason
6401	  for mismatch was that the individual capabilities used a time-delay
6402	  while sgr did not.  Used this to cleanup mismatches, e.g., in vt100,
6403	  and remove time-delay from Apple_Terminal entries.
6404	+ add Apple_Terminal terminfo entries (Benjamin C W Sittler
6405	  <bsittler@iname.com>).
6406	+ correct definitions of shifted editing keys for xterm-xfree86 -TD
6407	+ fix a bug in test/bs.c from 20010407 (patch by Erik Sigra).
6408	+ prevent relative_move() from doing an overwrite if it detects 8-bit
6409	  characters when configured for UTF-8 (reported by Sven Verdoolaege
6410	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
6411
641220010407
6413	+ add configure checks for strstream.h vscan function, and similar
6414	  stdio-based function which may be used in C++ binding for gcc 3.0
6415	  (reports by George Goffe, Lars Hecking, Mike Castle).
6416	+ rewrite parts of configure.in which used changequote().  That feature
6417	  is broken in the latest autoconf alphas (e.g., 2.49d).
6418	+ add a missing pathname for ncurses_dll.h, needed when building in
6419	  a directory outside the source tree (patch by Sven Verdoolaege
6420	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
6421	> fix 2 bugs in test/bs.c Erik Sigra <sigra@home.se>:
6422	+ no ships were ever placed in the last row or in the last column.
6423	  This made the game very easy to win, because you never had to waste
6424	  any shots there, but the computer did.
6425	+ the squares around a sunken ship that belonged to the player were not
6426	  displayed as already hit by the computer, like it does for the
6427	  player.
6428
642920010331
6430	+ add some examples of customizing screen's terminfo:
6431	  screen.xterm-xfree86, screen.xterm-r6, screen.teraterm -TD
6432	+ modify screen's terminfo entry to match the khome/kend in screen
6433	  3.09.08 (Debian #92215).
6434	+ correct a memory leak in forms library (report by Stefan Vogtner
6435	  <stefan@vogtner.de>) (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6436
643720010324
6438	+ change symbols used to guard against repeated includes to begin
6439	  consistently with "NCURSES_" rather than a leading underscore.  There
6440	  are other symbols defined in the header files which begin with a
6441	  leading underscore, but they are part of the legacy interface.
6442	+ reorder includes in c++ binding so that rcs identifiers can be
6443	  compiled-in.
6444	+ add .cc.ii rule to c++ makefile, to get preprocessor output for
6445	  debugging.
6446	+ correct configure script handling of @keyword@ substitutions when the
6447	  --with-manpage-renames option is given (cf: 20000715, fixes Debian
6448	  #89939).
6449	+ report stack underflow/overflow in tparm() when tic -cv option is
6450	  given.
6451	+ remove spurious "%|" operator from xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry,
6452	  (reported by Adam Costello <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, Debian #89222).
6453
645420010310
6455	+ cleanup of newdemo.c, fixing some ambiguous expressions noted by gcc
6456	  2.95.2, and correcting some conflicting color pair initializations.
6457	+ add missing copyright notice for cursesw.h
6458	+ review, make minor fixes for use of '::' for referring to C-language
6459	  interface from C++ binding.
6460	+ modify configure check for g++ library slightly to accommodate
6461	  nonstandard version number, e.g., <vendor>-2.7 (report by Ronald Ho
6462	  <rho@mipos2.intel.com>).
6463	+ add configure check for c++ <sstream> header, replace hardcoded
6464	  ifdef.
6465	+ workaround for pre-release of gcc 3.0 libstdc++, which has dropped
6466	  vscan from strstreambuf to follow standard, use wrapper for C vscanf
6467	  instead (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@excite.com> and Matt Taggart
6468	  <taggart@carmen.fc.hp.com>, fixes Debian .
6469
647020010303
6471	+ modify interface of _nc_get_token() to pass 'silent' parameter to it,
6472	  to make quieter loading of /etc/termcap (patch by Todd C Miller).
6473	+ correct a few typos in curs_slk.3x and curs_outopts.3x manpages
6474	  (patch by Todd C Miller).
6475
647620010224
6477	+ compiler-warning fixes (reported by Nelson Beebe).
6478
647920010210
6480	+ modify screen terminfo entry to use new 3.9.8 feature allowing xterm
6481	  mouse controls -TD
6482
648320010203
6484	+ broaden patterns used to match OS/2 EMX in configure script to cover
6485	  variant used in newer config.guess/config.sub
6486	+ remove changequote() calls from configure script, since this feature
6487	  is broken in the autoconf 2.49c alpha, maintainers decline to fix.
6488	+ remove macro callPutChar() from tty_update.c, since this is no longer
6489	  needed (reported by Philippe Blain).
6490	+ add a null-pointer check in tic.c to handle the case when the input
6491	  file is really empty.  Modify the next_char() function in comp_scan.c
6492	  to allow arbitrarily long lines, and incidentally supply a newline to
6493	  files that do not end in a newline.  These changes improve tic's
6494	  recovery from attempts to read binary files, e.g., its output from
6495	  the terminfo database (reported by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
6496
649720010127
6498	+ revert change to c++/demo.cc from 20001209, which changed definition
6499	  of main() apparently to accommodate cygwin linker, but broke the demo
6500	  program.
6501	+ workaround for broken egcs 2.91.66 which calls member functions
6502	  (i.e., lines() and colors() of NCursesWindow before calling its
6503	  constructor.  Add calls to initialize() in a few constructors which
6504	  did not do this already.
6505	+ use the GNAT preprocessor to make the necessary switch between TRACE
6506	  and NO_TRACE configurations (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6507	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
6508	+ modify kterm terminfo entry to use SCS sequence to support alternate
6509	  character set (it does not work with SI/SO).
6510	+ --with-ospeed=something didn't work.  configure.in checked for a
6511	  $enableval where it should check for $withval.  Also,
6512	  ncurses/llib-lncurses still had a hardcoded short.
6513
651420010114
6515	+ correction to my merge of Tom Riddle's patch that broke tic in some
6516	  conditions (reported by Enoch Wexler <enoch@wexler.co.il>) -TD
6517
651820010113
6519	+ modify view.c to test halfdelay().  Like other tests, this recognizes
6520	  the 's' and space commands for stopping/starting polled input, shows
6521	  a freerunning clock in the header.  If given a parameter to 's', that
6522	  makes view.c use halfdelay() with that parameter rather than
6523	  nodelay().
6524	+ fix to allow compile with the experimental configure option
6525	  --disable-hashmap.
6526	+ modify postprocess_termcap() to avoid overwriting key_backspace,
6527	  key_left, key_down when processing a non-base entry (report/patch by
6528	  Tom Riddle).
6529	+ modify _nc_wrap_entry(), adding option to reallocate the string
6530	  table, needed in _nc_merge_entry() when merging termcap entries.
6531	  (adapted from report/patch by Tom Riddle <ftr@oracom.com>).
6532	+ modify a few configure script macros to keep $CFLAGS used only for
6533	  compiler options, preprocessor options in $CPPFLAGS.
6534
653520001230
6536	+ correct marker positions in lrtest.c after receiving a sigwinch.
6537	+ fix ifdef's in ncurses.c to build against pre-5.2 for testing.
6538	+ fixes to tclock for resizing behavior, redundant computation (report
6539	  and patch by A M Kuchling <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>).
6540
654120001216
6542	+ improved scoansi terminfo entry -TD
6543	+ modify configure script and makefile in Ada95/src to compile a stub
6544	  for the trace functions when ncurses does not provide those.
6545
654620001209
6547	+ add ncurses_dll.h and related definitions to support generating DLL's
6548	  with cygwin (adapted from a patch by Charles Wilson
6549	  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>, changed NCURSES_EXPORT macro to make it
6550	  work with 'indent') -TD
6551
655220001202
6553	+ correct prototypes for some functions in curs_termcap.3x, matching
6554	  termcap.h, which matches X/Open.
6555	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6556	+ a revised version of the Ada enhancements sent in by "H.
6557	  Nanosecond", aka Eugene V Melaragno <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>.  This
6558	  patch includes
6559	  - small fixes to the existing ncurses binding
6560	  - addition of some more low-level functions to the binding, including
6561	    termcap and terminfo functions
6562	  - An Ada implementation of the "ncurses" test application originally
6563	    written in C.
6564
656520001125
6566	+ modify logic in lib_setup.c to allow either lines or columns value
6567	  from terminfo to be used if the screen size cannot be determined
6568	  dynamically rather than requiring both (patch by Ehud Karni
6569	  <ehud@unix.simonwiesel.co.il>).
6570	+ add check in lib_tgoto.c's is_termcap() function to reject null or
6571	  empty strings (reported by Valentin Nechayev <netch@netch.kiev.ua> to
6572	  freebsd-bugs).
6573	+ add definition from configure script that denotes the path-separator,
6574	  which is normally a colon.  The path-separator is a semicolon on
6575	  OS/2 EMX and similar systems which may use a colon within pathnames.
6576	+ alter logic to set default for --disable-overwrite option to set it
6577	  to 'yes' if the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr/local, thereby
6578	  accommodating the most common cause of problems: gcc's nonstandard
6579	  search rules.  Other locations such as /usr/local/ncurses will
6580	  default to overwriting (report by Lars Hecking <lhecking@nmrc.ie>).
6581
658220001118
6583	+ modify default for --disable-overwrite configure option to disable
6584	  if the --prefix or $prefix value is not /usr.
6585	+ add cygwin to systems for which ncurses is installed by default into
6586	  /usr rather than /usr/local.
6587
658820001111
6589	+ minor optimization in comp_error.c and lib_termname.c, using
6590	  strncat() to replace strncpy() (patch by Solar Designer).
6591	+ add a use_terminfo_vars() check for $HOME/.termcap, and check for
6592	  geteuid() to use_terminfo_vars() (patch by Solar Designer
6593	  <solar@false.com>).
6594	+ improved cygwin terminfo entry, based on patch by
6595	  <ernie_boyd@yahoo.com>.
6596	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to allow for the possibility that linking
6597	  aliases on a filesystem that ignores case would not succeed because
6598	  the source and destination differ only by case, e.g., NCR260VT300WPP0
6599	  on cygwin (report by Neil Zanella).
6600	+ fix a typo in the curs_deleteln.3x man page (patch by Bernhard
6601	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
6602
660320001104
6604	+ add configure option --with-ospeed to assist packagers in transition
6605	  to 5.3 change to ospeed type.
6606	+ add/use CharOf() macro to suppress sign-extension of char type on
6607	  platforms where this is a problem in ctype macros, e.g., Solaris.
6608	+ change trace output to binary format.
6609	+ correct a missing quote adjustment in CF_PATH_SYNTAX autoconf
6610	  macro, for OS/2 EMX configuration.
6611	+ rearrange a few configure macros, moving preprocessor options to
6612	  $CPPFLAGS (a now-obsolete version of autoconf did not consistently
6613	  use $CPPFLAGS in both the compile and preprocessor checks).
6614	+ add a check in relative_move() to guard against buffer overflow in
6615	  the overwrite logic.
6616
661720001028
6618	+ add message to configure script showing g++ version.
6619	+ resync config.guess, config.sub
6620	+ modify lib_delwin.c, making it return ERR if the window did not exist
6621	  (suggested by Neil Zanella).
6622	+ add cases for FreeBSD 3.1 to tdlint and makellib scripts, used this
6623	  to test/review ncurses library.  (Would use lclint, but it doesn't
6624	  work).
6625	+ reorganized knight.c to avoid forward references.  Correct screen
6626	  updates when backtracking, especially to the first cell.  Add F/B/a
6627	  commands.
6628
662920001021 5.2 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
6630	+ update generated html files from manpages.
6631	+ modify dist.mk to use edit_man.sh to substitute autoconf'd variables
6632	  in html manpages.
6633	+ fix an uninitialized pointer in read_termcap.c (report by Todd C
6634	  Miller, from report/patch by Philip Guenther <guenther@gac.edu>).
6635	+ correct help-message and array limit in knight.c (patch by Brian
6636	  Raiter <breadbox@muppetlabs.com>).
6637	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6638	+ fix to avoid warning by GNAT-3.13p about use of inconsistent casing
6639	  for some identifiers defined in the standard package.
6640	+ cosmetic change to forms/fty_enum.c
6641
664220001014
6643	+ correct an off-by-one position in test/railroad.c which could cause
6644	  wrapping at the right margin.
6645	+ test/repair some issues with libtool configuration.  Make
6646	  --disable-echo force libtool --silent.  (Libtool does not work for
6647	  OS/2 EMX, works partly for SCO - libtool is still very specific to
6648	  gcc).
6649	+ change default of --with-manpage-tbl to "no", since for most of the
6650	  platforms which do have tbl installed, the system "man" program
6651	  understands how to run tbl automatically.
6652	+ minor improvement to force_bar() in comp_parse.c (Bernhard
6653	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
6654	+ modify lib_tparm.c to use get_space() before writing terminating
6655	  null character, both for consistency as well as to ensure that if
6656	  save_char() was called immediately before, that the allocated memory
6657	  is enough (patch by Sergei Ivanov).
6658	+ add note about termcap ML capability which is duplicated between two
6659	  different capabilities:  smgl and smglr (reported by Sergei Ivanov
6660	  <svivanov@pdmi.ras.ru>).
6661	+ correct parameter counts in include/Caps for dclk as well as some
6662	  printer-specific capabilities: csnm, defc, scs, scsd, smgtp, smglp.
6663	> patch by Johnny C Lam <lamj@stat.cmu.edu>:
6664	+ add support for building with libtool (apparently version 1.3.5,
6665	  since old versions do not handle -L../lib), using new configure
6666	  option --with-libtool.
6667	+ add configure option --with-manpage-tbl, which causes the manpages to
6668	  be preprocessed by tbl(1) prior to installation,
6669	+ add configure option --without-curses-h, which causes the
6670	  installation process to install curses.h as ncurses.h and make
6671	  appropriate changes to headers and manpages.
6672
667320001009
6674	+ correct order of options/parameters in run_tic.in invocation of tic,
6675	  which did not work with standard getopt() (reported by Ethan
6676	  Butterfield <primus@veris.org>).
6677	+ correct logic for 'reverse' variable in lib_vidattr.c, which was
6678	  setting it true without checking if newmode had A_REVERSE set, e.g.,
6679	  using $TERM=ansi on OS/2 EMX (see 20000917).
6680	> patch by Todd C Miller:
6681	+ add a few missing use_terminfo_vars() and fixes up _nc_tgetent().
6682	  Previously, _nc_cgetset() would still get called on cp so the
6683	  simplest thing is to set cp to NULL if !use_terminfo_vars().
6684	+ added checks for an empty $HOME environment variable.
6685	> patches for OS/2 EMX (Ilya Zakharevich):
6686	+ modify convert_configure.pl to support INSTALL.  Change compiler
6687	  options in that script to use multithreading, needed for the mouse.
6688	+ modify OS/2 mouse support, retrying as a 2-button mouse if code fails
6689	  to set up a 3-button mouse.
6690	+ improve code for OS/2 mouse support, using _nc_timed_wait() to
6691	  replace select() call.
6692
669320001007
6694	+ change type of ospeed variable back to short to match its use in
6695	  legacy applications (reported by Andrey A Chernov).
6696	+ add case to configure script for --enable-rpath on IRIX (patch by
6697	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
6698	+ minor fix to position_check() function, to ensure it gets the whole
6699	  cursor report before decoding.
6700	+ add configure option --disable-assumed-color, to allow pre-5.1
6701	  convention of default colors used for color-pair 0 to be configured
6702	  (see assume_default_colors()).
6703	+ rename configure option --enable-hashmap --disable-hashmap, and
6704	  reorder the configure options, splitting the experimental and
6705	  development
6706	+ add configure option --disable-root-environ, which tells ncurses to
6707	  disregard $TERMINFO and similar environment variables if the current
6708	  user is root, or running setuid/setgid (based on discussion with
6709	  several people).
6710	+ modified misc/run_tic.in to use tic -o, to eliminate dependency on
6711	  $TERMINFO variable for installs.
6712	+ add table entry for plab_norm to tput, so it passes in strings
6713	  for that capability.
6714	+ modify parse_format() in lib_tparm.c to ignore precision if it is
6715	  longer than 10000 (report by Jouko Pynnonen).
6716	+ rewrote limit checks in lib_mvcur.c using new functions
6717	  _nc_safe_strcat(), etc.  Made other related changes to check lengths
6718	  used for strcat/strcpy (report by Jouko Pynnonen
6719	  <jouko@solutions.fi>).
6720
672120000930
6722	+ modify several descriptions, including those for setaf, setab, in
6723	  include/Caps to indicate that the entries are parameterized.  This
6724	  information is used to tell which strings are translated when
6725	  converting to termcap.  Fixes a problem where the generated termcap
6726	  would contain a spurious "%p1" for the terminfo "%p1%d".
6727	+ modify ld -rpath options (e.g., Linux, and Solaris) to use an
6728	  absolute pathname for the build tree's lib directory (prompted by
6729	  discussion with Albert Chin-A-Young).
6730	+ modify "make install.man" and "make uninstall.man" to include tack's
6731	  man-page.
6732	+ various fixes for install scripts used to support configure --srcdir
6733	  and --with-install-prefix (reported by Matthew Clarke
6734	  <Matthew_Clarke@mindlink.bc.ca>).
6735	+ make configure script checks on variables $GCC and $GXX consistently
6736	  compare against 'yes' rather than test if they are nonnull, since
6737	  either may be set to the corresponding name of the C or C++ compiler
6738	  (report/patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
6739
674020000923
6741	+ modify rs2 capability in xterm-r6 and similar where cursor
6742	  save/restore bracketed the sequence for resetting video attributes.
6743	  The cursor restore would undo that (report by John Hawkinson
6744	  <jhawk@MIT.EDU> (see NetBSD misc/11052)).
6745	+ using parameter check added to tic, corrected 27 typos in
6746	  terminfo.src -TD
6747	+ modify tic to verify that its inputs are really files, in case
6748	  someone tries to read a directory (or /dev/zero).
6749	+ add a check for empty buffers returned by fgets() in comp_scan.c
6750	  next_char() function, in case tic is run on a non-text file (fixes
6751	  a core dump reported by Aaron Campbell <aaron@cs.dal.ca>).
6752	+ add to railroad.c some code exercising tgoto(), providing an
6753	  alternate form of display if the terminal supports cursor addressing.
6754	+ split-out tgoto() again, this time into new file lib_tgoto.c, and
6755	  implement a conventional BSD-style tgoto() which is used if the
6756	  capability string does not contain terminfo-style padding or
6757	  parameters (requested by Andrey A Chernov).
6758	+ add check to tic which reports capabilities that do not reference
6759	  the expected number of parameters.
6760	+ add error checking to infocmp's -v and -m options to ensure that
6761	  the option value is indeed a number.
6762	+ some cleanup of logic in _nc_signal_handler() to verify if SIGWINCH
6763	  handler is setup.  Separated the old/new sigaction data for SIGTSTP
6764	  from the other signals.
6765
676620000917
6767	+ add S0, E0 extensions to screen's terminfo entry, which is another
6768	  way to solve the misconfiguration issue -TD
6769	+ completed special case for tgoto from 20000916
6770
677120000916
6772	+ update xterm terminfo entries to match XFree86 xterm patch #146 -TD
6773	+ add Matrix Orbital terminfo entries (from Eric Z Ayers
6774	  <eric@ale.org>).
6775	+ add special case to lib_tparm.c to allow 'screen' program to use a
6776	  termcap-style parameter "%." to tgoto() for switching character sets.
6777	+ use LN_S substitution in run_tic.in, to work on OS/2 EMX which has
6778	  no symbolic links.
6779	+ updated notes in README.emx regarding autoconf patches.
6780	+ replace a lookup table in lib_vidattr.c used to decode no_color_video
6781	  with a logic expression (suggested by Philippe Blain).
6782	+ add a/A toggle to ncurses.c 'b' test, which clears/sets alternate
6783	  character set attribute from the displayed text.
6784	+ correct inequality in parameter analysis of rewritten lib_tparm.c
6785	  which had the effect of ignoring p9 in set_attributes (sgr), breaking
6786	  alternate character set (reported by Piotr Majka <charvel@link.pl>).
6787	+ correct ifdef'ing for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF which would not compile
6788	  with Sun WorkShop compilers since these tokens were empty (cf:
6789	  20000902, reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
6790
679120000909
6792	+ correct an uninitialized parameter to open_tempfile() in tic.c which
6793	  made "tic -I" give an ambiguous error message about tmpnam.
6794	+ add special case in lib_vidattr.c to reset underline and standout for
6795	  devices that have no sgr0 defined (patch by Don Lewis
6796	  <Don.Lewis@tsc.tdk.com>).  Note that this will not work for bold
6797	  mode, since there is no exit-bold-mode capability.
6798	+ improved patch for Make_Enum_Type (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6799	+ modify tparm to disallow arithmetic on strings, analyze the varargs
6800	  list to read strings as strings and numbers as numbers.
6801	+ modify tparm's internal function spop() to treat a null pointer as
6802	  an empty string.
6803	+ modify tput program so it can be renamed or invoked via a link as
6804	  'reset' or 'init', producing the same effect as 'tput reset' or 'tput
6805	  init'.
6806	+ add private entrypoint _nc_basename(), use to consolidate related
6807	  code in progs, as well as accommodating OS/2 EMX pathnames.
6808	+ remove NCURSES_CONST line from edit_cfg.sh to compensate for its
6809	  removal (except via AC_SUBST) from configure.in, making
6810	  --enable-const work again (reported by Juergen Pfeifer).
6811	+ regen'd configure to pick up "hpux*" change from 20000902.
6812
681320000902
6814	+ modify tset.c to check for transformed "reset" program name, if any.
6815	+ add a check for null pointer in Make_Enum_Type() (reported by Steven
6816	  W Orr <steveo@world.std.com>).
6817	+ change functions _nc_parse_entry() and postprocess_termcap() to avoid
6818	  using strtok(), because it is non-reentrant (reported by Andrey A
6819	  Chernov <ache@nagual.pp.ru>).
6820	+ remove "hpux10.*" case from CF_SHARED_OPTS configure script macro.
6821	  This differed from the "hpux*" case by using reversed symbolic
6822	  links, which made the 5.1 version not match the configuration of
6823	  5.0 shared libraries (reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
6824	+ correct a dependency in Ada95/src/Makefile.in which prevented
6825	  building with configure --srcdir (patch by H Nanosecond
6826	  <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>).
6827	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in to avoid warning if GCC_PRINTF or
6828	  GCC_SCANF was not previously defined (reported by Pavel Roskin
6829	  <proski@gnu.org>).
6830	+ add MKncurses_def.sh to generate fallback definitions for
6831	  ncurses_cfg.h, to quiet gcc -Wundef warnings, modified ifdef's in
6832	  code to consistently use "#if" rather than "#ifdef".
6833
683420000826
6835	+ add QNX qansi entries to terminfo -TD
6836	+ add os2 entry to misc/emx.src (<jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
6837	+ add configure option --with-database to allow specifying a different
6838	  terminfo source-file to install.  On OS/2 EMX, this defaults to
6839	  misc/emx.src
6840	+ change misc/run_tic.sh to derive it from misc/run_tic.in, to simplify
6841	  setting .exe extension on OS/2 EMX.
6842	+ add .exe extension in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in,
6843	  Ada95/samples/Makefile.in, for OS/2 EMX (reported by
6844	  <jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
6845	+ add configure check for filesystems (such as OS/2 EMX) which do not
6846	  distinguish between upper/lowercase filenames, use this to fix tags
6847	  rules in makefiles.
6848	+ initialize fds[] array to 0's in _nc_timed_wait(); apparently poll()
6849	  only sets the revents members of that array when there is activity
6850	  corresponding to the related file (report by Glenn Cooper
6851	  <gcooper@qantas.com.au>, using Purify on Solaris 5.6).
6852	+ change configure script to use AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM rather than
6853	  AC_CANONICAL_HOST, which means that configure --target will set
6854	  a default program-prefix.
6855	+ add note on cross-compiling to INSTALL (which does not rely on the
6856	  AC_CANONICAL_* macros).
6857
685820000819
6859	+ add cases for EMX OS/2 to config.guess, config.sub
6860	+ new version of config.guess, config.sub from lynx 2.8.4dev.7
6861	+ add definitions via transform.h to allow tic and tput to check for
6862	  the transformed aliases rather than the original infotocap, etc.
6863	+ simplify transform-expressions in progs/Makefile.in, make the
6864	  uninstall rule work for transformed program names.
6865	+ change symbol used by --install-prefix configure option from
6866	  INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR (the latter has become common usage
6867	  although the name is misleading).
6868	+ modify programs to use curses_version() string to report the version
6869	  of ncurses with which they are compiled rather than the
6870	  NCURSES_VERSION string.  The function returns the patch level in
6871	  addition to the major and minor version numbers.
6872
687320000812
6874	+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to make transformed program names
6875	  a parameter to that macro rather than embedding them in the macro.
6876	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in lynx
6877	  2.8.4dev.7).
6878	+ add configure option --with-default-terminfo-dir=DIR to allow
6879	  specifying the default terminfo database directory (request by Albert
6880	  Chin-A-Young).
6881	+ minor updates for terminfo.src from FreeBSD termcap change-history.
6882	+ correct notes in README and INSTALL regarding documentation files
6883	  that were moved from misc directory to doc (report by Rich Kulawiec
6884	  <rsk@gsp.org>).
6885	+ change most remaining unquoted parameters of 'test' in configure
6886	  script to use quotes, for instance fixing a problem in the
6887	  --disable-database option (reported by Christian Mondrup
6888	  <scancm@biobase.dk>).
6889	+ minor adjustments to work around some of the incompatibilities/bugs
6890	  in autoconf 2.29a alpha.
6891	+ add -I/usr/local/include when --with-ncurses option is used in
6892	  test/configure script.
6893	+ correct logic in adjust_cancels(), which did not check both
6894	  alternatives when reclassifying an extended name between boolean,
6895	  number and string, causing an infinite loop in tic.
6896
689720000730
6898	+ correct a missing backslash in curses.priv.h
6899
690020000729
6901	+ change handling of non_dest_scroll_region in tty_update.c to clear
6902	  text after it is shifted in rather than before shifting out.  Also
6903	  correct row computation (reported by Ruediger Kuhlmann
6904	  <uck4@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>).
6905	+ add/use new trace function to display chtype values from winch() and
6906	  getbkgd().
6907	+ add trace mask TRACE_ATTRS, alter several existing _tracef calls that
6908	  trace attribute changes under TRACE_CALLS to use this.
6909	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh so that functions returning chtype will call
6910	  returnChar().
6911	+ add returnChar() trace, for functions returning chtype.
6912	+ change indent.pro to line up parenthesis.
6913
691420000722
6915	+ fix a heap problem with the c++ binding (report by
6916	  <alexander_liberson@ninewest.com>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6917	+ minor adjustment to ClrToEOL() to handle an out-of-bounds parameter.
6918	+ modify the check for big-core to force a couple of memory accesses,
6919	  which may work as needed for older/less-capable machines (if not,
6920	  there's still the explicit configure option).
6921	> fixes based on diff's for Amiga and BeOS found at
6922	  http://www.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~kuhlmann/cross/ncurses/
6923	+ alter definition of NCURSES_CONST to make it non-empty.
6924	+ add amiga-vnc terminfo entry.
6925	+ redefine 'TEXT' in menu.h for AMIGA, since it is reported to have
6926	  an (unspecified) symbol conflict.
6927	+ replaced case-statement in _nc_tracebits() for CSIZE with a table to
6928	  simplify working around implementations that define random
6929	  combinations of the related macros to zero.
6930	+ modify configure test for tcgetattr() to allow for old
6931	  implementations, e.g., on BeOS, which only defined it as a macro.
6932	> patches by Bruno Haible:
6933	+ when checking LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG environment variables for UTF-8
6934	  locale, ignore those which are set to an empty value, as per SUSV2.
6935	+ encode 0xFFFD in UTF-8 with 3 bytes, not 2.
6936	+ modify _nc_utf8_outch() to avoid sign-extension when checking for
6937	  out-of-range value.
6938
693920000715
6940	+ correct manlinks.sed script to avoid using ERE "\+", which is not
6941	  understood by older versions of sed (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
6942	+ implement configure script options that transform installed program
6943	  names, e.g., --program-prefix, including the manpage names and cross
6944	  references (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>).
6945	+ correct several mismatches between manpage filename and ".TH"
6946	  directives, renaming dft_fgbg.3x to default_colors.3x and
6947	  menu_attribs.3x to menu_attributes.3x (report by Todd C Miller).
6948	+ correct missing includes for <string.h> in several places, including
6949	  the C++ binding.  This is not noted by gcc unless we use the
6950	  -fno-builtin option (reported by Igor Schein <igor@txc.com>).
6951	+ modified progs/tset.c and tack/sysdep.c to build with sgttyb
6952	  interface if neither termio or termios is available.  Tested this
6953	  with FreeBSD 2.1.5 (which does have termios - but the sgttyb does
6954	  work).
6955
695620000708 5.1 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
6957	+ document configure options in INSTALL.
6958	+ add man-page for ncurses trace functions.
6959	+ correct return value shown in curs_touch.3x for is_linetouched() and
6960	  is_wintouched(), in curs_initscr.3x for isendwin(), and in
6961	  curs_termattr.3x for has_ic() and has_il().
6962	+ add prototypes for touchline() and touchwin(), adding them to the
6963	  list of generated functions.
6964	+ modify fifo_push() to put ERR into the fifo just like other values to
6965	  return from wgetch().  It was returning without doing that, making
6966	  end-of-file condition incorrectly return a 0 (reported by Todd C
6967	  Miller).
6968	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS for progs and tack (see 971115), since they
6969	  are needed for SCO OpenServer.
6970	+ move _nc_disable_period from free_ttype.c to comp_scan.c to appease
6971	  dynamic loaders on SCO and IRIX64.
6972	+ add "-a" option to test/ncurses.c to invoke assume_default_colors()
6973	  for testing.
6974	+ correct assignment in assume_default_colors() which tells ncurses
6975	  whether to use default colors, or the assumed ones (reported by Gary
6976	  Funck <gary@Intrepid.Com>).
6977	+ review/correct logic in mk-1st.awk for making symbolic links for
6978	  shared libraries, in particular for FreeBSD, etc.
6979	+ regenerate misc/*.def files for OS/2 EMX dll's.
6980	+ correct quoting of values for CC_SHARED_OPTS in aclocal.m4 for
6981	  cases openbsd2*, openbsd*, freebsd* and netbsd* (patch by Peter
6982	  Wemm) (err in 20000610).
6983	+ minor updates to release notes, as well as adding/updating URLs for
6984	  examples cited in announce.html
6985	> several fixes from Philippe Blain <philippe.blain2@freesbee.fr>:
6986	+ correct placement of ifdef for NCURSES_XNAMES in function
6987	  _nc_free_termtype(), fixes a memory leak.
6988	+ add a call to _nc_synchook() to the end of function whline() like
6989	  that in wvline() (difference was in 1.9.4).
6990	+ make ClearScreen() a little faster by moving two instances of
6991	  UpdateAttr() out of for-loops.
6992	+ simplify ClrBottom() by eliminating the tstLine data, using for-loops
6993	  (cf: 960428).
6994
699520000701 pre-release
6996	+ change minor version to 1, i.e., ncurses 5.1
6997	+ add experimental configure option --enable-colorfgbg to check for
6998	  $COLORTERM variable as set by rxvt/aterm/Eterm.
6999	+ add Eterm terminfo entry (Michael Jennings <mej@valinux.com>).
7000	+ modify manlinks.sed to pick aliases from the SYNOPSIS section, and
7001	  several manpages so manlinks.sed can find aliases for creating
7002	  symbolic links.
7003	+ add explanation to run_tic.sh regarding extended terminal
7004	  capabilities.
7005	+ change message format for edit_cfg.sh, since some people interpret
7006	  it as a warning.
7007	+ correct unescaped '$' in sysv5uw7*|unix_sv* rule for CF_SHARED_OPTS
7008	  configure macro (report by Thanh Ma <Thanh.Ma@casi-rusco.com>).
7009	+ correct logic in lib_twait.c as used by lib_mouse.c for GPM mouse
7010	  support when poll() is used rather than select() (prompted by
7011	  discussion with David Allen <DAllen24@aol.com>).
7012
701320000624 pre-release
7014	+ modify TransformLine() to check for cells with different color pairs
7015	  that happen to render the same display colors.
7016	+ apply $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to cost-computation in mvcur().
7017	+ improve cost computation in PutRange() by accounting for the use
7018	  of parm_right_cursor in mvcur().
7019	+ correct cost computation in EmitRange(), which was not using the
7020	  normalized value for cursor_address.
7021	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in TIN 1.5.6).
7022
702320000617
7024	+ update config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in PCRE 3.2).
7025	+ resync changes to gnathtml against version 1.22, regenerated html
7026	  files under doc/html/ada using this (1.22.1.1).
7027	+ regenerated html files under doc/html/man after correcting top and
7028	  bottom margin options for man2html in dist.mk
7029	+ minor fixes to test programs ncurses 'i' and testcurs program to make
7030	  the subwindow's background color cover the subwindow.
7031	+ modify configure script so AC_MSG_ERROR is temporarily defined to a
7032	  warning in AC_PROG_CXX to make it recover from a missing C++ compiler
7033	  without requiring user to add --without-cxx option (adapted from
7034	  comment by Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> to autoconf mailing list).
7035	+ modify headers.sh to avoid creating temporary files in the build
7036	  directory when installing headers (reported by Sergei Pokrovsky
7037	  <pok@nbsp.nsk.su>)
7038
703920000610
7040	+ regenerated the html files under doc/html/ada/files and
7041	  doc/html/ada/funcs with a slightly-improved gnathtml.
7042	+ add kmous capability to linux terminfo entry to allow it to use
7043	  xterm-style events provided by gpm patch by Joerg Schoen.
7044	+ make the configure macro CF_SHARED_OPTS a little smarter by testing
7045	  if -fPIC is supported by gcc rather than -fpic.  The former option
7046	  allows larger symbol tables.
7047	+ update config.guess and config.sub (patches by
7048	  Kevin Buettner <kev@primenet.com> (for elf64_ia64),
7049	  Bernd Kuemmerlen <bkuemmer@mevis.de> (for MacOS X)).
7050	+ add warning for 'tic -cv' about use of '^?' in terminfo source, which
7051	  is an extension.
7052
705320000527
7054	+ modify echo() behavior of getch() to match Solaris curses for
7055	  carriage return and backspace (reported by Neil Zanella).
7056	+ change _nc_flush() to a function.
7057	+ modify delscreen() to check if the output stream has been closed, and
7058	  if so, free the buffer allocated for setbuf (this provides an
7059	  ncurses-specific way to avoid a memory leak when repeatedly calling
7060	  newterm reported by Chipp C <at_1@zdnetonebox.com>).
7061	+ correct typo in curs_getch.3x manpage regarding noecho (reported by
7062	  David Malone <dwmalone@maths.tcd.ie>).
7063	+ add a "make libs" rule.
7064	+ make the Ada95 interface build with configure --enable-widec.
7065	+ if the configure --enable-widec option is given, append 'w' to names
7066	  of the generated libraries (e.g., libncursesw.so) to avoid conflict
7067	  with existing ncurses libraries.
7068
706920000520
7070	+ modify view.c to make a rudimentary viewer of UTF-8 text if ncurses
7071	  is configured with the experimental wide-character support.
7072	+ add a simple UTF-8 output driver to the experimental wide-character
7073	  support.  If any of the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or
7074	  LANG contain the string "UTF-8", this driver will be used to
7075	  translate the output to UTF-8.  This works with XFree86 xterm.
7076	+ modify configure script to allow building shared libraries on BeOS
7077	  (from a patch by Valeriy E Ushakov).
7078	+ modify lib_addch.c to allow repeated update to the lower-right
7079	  corner, rather than displaying only the first character written until
7080	  the cursor is moved.  Recent versions of SVr4 curses can update the
7081	  lower-right corner, and behave this way (reported by Neil Zanella).
7082	+ add a limit-check in _nc_do_color(), to avoid using invalid color
7083	  pair value (report by Brendan O'Dea <bod@compusol.com.au>).
7084
708520000513
7086	+ the tack program knows how to use smcup and rmcup but the "show caps
7087	  that can be tested" feature did not reflect this knowledge.  Correct
7088	  the display in the menu tack/test/edit/c (patch by Daniel Weaver).
7089	+ xterm-16color does allow bold+colors, removed ncv#32 from that
7090	  terminfo entry.
7091
709220000506
7093	+ correct assignment to SP->_has_sgr_39_49 in lib_dft_fgbg.c, which
7094	  broke check for screen's AX capability (reported by Valeriy E Ushakov
7095	  <uwe@ptc.spbu.ru>).
7096	+ change man2html rule in dist.mk to workaround bug in some
7097	  man-programs that ignores locale when rendering hyphenation.
7098	+ change web- and ftp-site to dickey.his.com
7099
710020000429
7101	+ move _nc_curr_token from parse_entry.c to comp_scan.c, to work around
7102	  problem linking tack on MacOS X DP3.
7103	+ include <sys/time.h> in lib_napms.c to compile on MacOS X DP3
7104	  (reported by Gerben Wierda <wierda@holmes.nl>).
7105	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to check for ncv fixes when pair-0 is not
7106	  default colors.
7107	+ add -d option to ncurses.c, to turn on default-colors for testing.
7108	+ add a check to _nc_makenew() to ensure that newwin() and newpad()
7109	  calls do not silently fail by passing too-large limits.
7110	+ add symbol NCURSES_SIZE_T to use rather than explicit 'short' for
7111	  internal window and pad sizes.  Note that since this is visible in
7112	  the WINDOW struct, it would be an ABI change to make this an 'int'
7113	  (prompted by a question by Bastian Trompetter
7114	  <btrompetter@firemail.de>, who attempted to create a 96000-line pad).
7115
711620000422
7117	+ add mgterm terminfo entry from NetBSD, minor adjustments to sun-ss5,
7118	  aixterm entries -TD
7119	+ modify tack/ansi.c to make it more tolerant of bad ANSI replies.  An
7120	  example of an illegal ANSI resonse can be found using Microsoft's
7121	  Telnet client.  A correct display can be found using a VT-4xx
7122	  terminal or XFree86 xterm with:
7123		XTerm*VT100*decTerminalID:  450
7124	  (patch by Daniel Weaver).
7125	+ modify gdc.c to recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' '
7126	  for resume.  Add '-n' option to force gdc's standard input to
7127	  /dev/null, to both illustrate the use of newterm() for specifying
7128	  alternate inputs as well as for testing signal handling.
7129	+ minor fix for configure option --with-manpage-symlinks, for target
7130	  directories that contain a period ('.') (reported by Larry Virden).
7131
713220000415
7133	+ minor additions to beterm entry (feedback from Rico Tudor) -TD
7134	+ corrections/updates for some IBM terminfo entries -TD
7135	+ modify _nc_screen_wrap() so that when exiting curses mode with
7136	  non-default colors, the last line on the screen will be cleared to
7137	  the screen's default colors (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7138	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' example to set nonl(), allowing control/M to be
7139	  read for demonstrating the REQ_NEW_LINE operation (prompted by a
7140	  question by Tony L Keith <tlkeith@keithconsulting.com>).
7141	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' example of field_info() to work on Solaris 2.7,
7142	  documented extension of ncurses which allows a zero pointer.
7143	+ modify fmt_complex() to avoid buffer overflow in case of excess
7144	  recursion, and to recognize "%e%?" as a synonym for else-if, which
7145	  means that it will not recur for that special case.
7146	+ add logic to support $TERMCAP variable in case the USE_GETCAP symbol
7147	  is defined (patch by Todd C Miller).
7148	+ modify one of the m4 files used to generate the Ada95 sources,
7149	  to avoid using the token "symbols" (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
7150
715120000408
7152	+ add terminfo entries bsdos-pc-m, bsdos-pc-mono (Jeffrey C Honig)
7153	+ correct spelling error in terminfo entry name:  bq300-rv was given as
7154	  bg300-rv in esr's version.
7155	+ modify redrawwin() macro so its parameter is fully parenthesized
7156	  (fixes Debian #61088).
7157	+ correct formatting error in dump_entry() which set incorrect column
7158	  value when no newline trimming was needed at the end of an entry,
7159	  before appending "use=" clauses (cf: 960406).
7160
716120000401
7162	+ add configure option --with-manpage-symlinks
7163	+ change unctrl() to render C1 characters (128-159) as ~@, ~A, etc.
7164	+ change makefiles so trace() function is provided only if TRACE is
7165	  defined, e.g., in the debug library.  Modify related calls to
7166	  _tracechar() to use unctrl() instead.
7167
716820000325
7169	+ add screen's AX capability (for ECMA SGR 39 and 49) to applicable
7170	  terminfo entries, use presence of this as a check for a small
7171	  improvement in setting default colors.
7172	+ improve logic in _nc_do_color() implementing assume_default_colors()
7173	  by passing in previous color pair info to eliminate redundant call to
7174	  set_original_colors().  (Part of this is from a patch by Alexander
7175	  V Lukyanov).
7176	+ modify warning in _nc_trans_string() about a possibly too-long string
7177	  to do this once only rather than for each character past the
7178	  threshold (600).  Change interface of _nc_trans_string() to allow
7179	  check for buffer overflow.
7180	+ correct use of memset in _nc_read_entry_source() to initialize ENTRY
7181	  struct each time before reading new data into it, rather than once
7182	  per loop (cf:  990301).  This affects multi-entry in-core operations
7183	  such as "infocmp -Fa".
7184
718520000319
7186	+ remove a spurious pointer increment in _nc_infotocap() changes from
7187	  20000311.  Add check for '.' in format of number, since that also
7188	  is not permitted in termcap.
7189	+ correct typo in rxvt-basic terminfo from temporary change made while
7190	  integrating 20000318.
7191
719220000318
7193	+ revert part of the vt220 change (request by Todd C Miller).
7194	+ add ansi-* terminfo entries from ESR's version.
7195	+ add -a option to tic and infocmp, which retains commented-out
7196	  capabilities during source translation/comparison, e.g., captoinfo
7197	  and infotocap.
7198	+ modify cardfile.c to display an empty card if no input data file is
7199	  found, fixes a core dump in that case (reported by Bruno Haible).
7200	+ correct bracketing in CF_MATH_LIB configure macro, which gave wrong
7201	  result for OS/2 EMX.
7202	+ supply required parameter for _nc_resolve_uses() call in
7203	  read_termcap.c, overlooked in 20000311 (reported by Todd C Miller).
7204	> patches by Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>:
7205	+ fix a compiler warning in fty_enum.c
7206	+ correct LIB_PREFIX expression for DEPS_CURSES in progs, tack
7207	  makefiles, which resulted in redundant linking (cf: 20000122).
7208
720920000311
7210	+ make ifdef's for BROKEN_LINKER consistent (patch by Todd C Miller).
7211	+ improved tack/README (patch by Daniel Weaver).
7212	+ modify tput.c to ensure that unspecified parameters are passed to
7213	  tparm() as 0's.
7214	+ add a few checks in infocmp to guard against buffer overflow when
7215	  displaying string capabilities.
7216	+ add check for zero-uses in infocmp's file_comparison() function
7217	  before calling _nc_align_termtype().  Otherwise one parameter is
7218	  indexed past the end of the uses-array.
7219	+ add an option -q to infocmp to specify the less verbose output,
7220	  keeping the existing format as the default, though not retaining the
7221	  previous behavior that made the -F option compare each entry to
7222	  itself.
7223	+ adapted patch by ESR to make infocmp -F less verbose -TD
7224	  (the submitted patch was unusable because it did not compile
7225	  properly)
7226	  + modify write_entry.c to ensure that absent or cancelled booleans
7227	    are written as FALSE, for consistency with infocmp which now
7228	    assumes this.  Note that for the small-core configuration, tic
7229	    may not produce the same result as before.
7230	  + change some private library interfaces used by infocmp, e.g.,
7231	    _nc_resolve_uses().
7232	  + add a check in _nc_infotocap() to ensure that cm-style capabilities
7233	    accept only %d codes when converting the format from terminfo to
7234	    termcap.
7235	  + modify ENTRY struct to separate the data in 'parent' into the name
7236	    and link values (the original idea to merge both into 'parent' was
7237	    not good).
7238	  + discard repair_acsc(tterm);
7239	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7240	+ drop support for gnat 3.10
7241	+ move generated documentation and html files under ./doc directory,
7242	  adding makefile rules for this to dist.mk
7243
724420000304
7245	+ correct conflicting use of tparm() in 20000226 change to tic, which
7246	  made it check only one entry at a time.
7247	+ fix errors in ncurses-intro.html and hackguide.html shown by Dave
7248	  Raggett's tidy.
7249	+ make the example in ncurses-intro.html do something plausible, and
7250	  corrected misleading comment (reported by Neil Zanella).
7251	+ modify pnoutrefresh() to set newscr->_leaveok as wnoutrefresh() does,
7252	  to fix a case where the cursor position was not updated as in
7253	  Solaris  (patch by David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>).
7254	+ add a limit-check for wresize() to ensure that a subwindow does not
7255	  address out of bounds.
7256	+ correct offsets used for subwindows in wresize() (patch by Michael
7257	  Andres <ma@suse.de>).
7258	+ regenerate html'ized manual pages with man2html 3.0.1 (patch by
7259	  Juergen Pfeifer).  This generated a file with a space in its name,
7260	  which I removed.
7261	+ fix a few spelling errors in tack.
7262	+ modify tack/Makefile.in to match linker options of progs/Makefile.in;
7263	  otherwise it does not build properly for older HPUX shared library
7264	  configurations.
7265	+ add several terminfo entries from esr's "11.0".
7266
726720000226
7268	+ make 'tput flash' work properly for xterm by flushing output in
7269	  delay_output() when using napms(), and modifying xterm's terminfo to
7270	  specify no padding character.  Otherwise, xterm's reported baud rate
7271	  can mislead ncurses into producing too few padding characters
7272	  (Debian #58530).
7273	+ add a check to tic for consistency between sgr and the separate
7274	  capabilities such as smso, use this to check/correct several
7275	  terminfo entries (Debian #58530).
7276	+ add a check to tic if cvvis is the same as cnorm, adjusted several
7277	  terminfo entries to remove the conflict (Debian #58530).
7278	+ correct prototype shown in attr_set()/wattr_set() manpages (fixes
7279	  Debian #53962).
7280	+ minor clarification for curs_set() and leaveok() manpages.
7281	+ use mkstemp() for creating temporary file for tic's processing of
7282	  $TERMCAP contents (fixes Debian #56465).
7283	+ correct two errors from integrating Alexander's changes:  did not
7284	  handle the non-bce case properly in can_erase_with() (noted by
7285	  Alexander), and left fg/bg uninitialized in the pair-zero case of
7286	  _nc_do_color() (reported by Dr Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> and
7287	  Ismael Cordeiro <ismael@cordeiro.com>).
7288
728920000219
7290	+ store default-color code consistently as C_MASK, even if given as
7291	  -1 for convenience (adapted from patches by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7292	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
7293	+ change can_clear_with() macro to accommodate logic for
7294	  assume_default_colors(), making most of the FILL_BCE logic
7295	  unnecessary.  Made can_clear_with() an inline function to make it
7296	  simpler to read.
7297
729820000212
7299	+ corrected form of recent copyright dates.
7300	+ minor corrections to xterm-xf86-v333 terminfo entry -TD
7301	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
7302	+ reworded dft_fgbg.3x to avoid assuming that the terminal's default
7303	  colors are white on black.
7304	+ fix initialization of tstLine so that it is filled with current blank
7305	  character in any case.  Previously it was possible to have it filled
7306	  with old blank.  The wrong over-optimization was introduced in 991002
7307	  patch.  (it is not very critical as the only bad effect is not using
7308	  clr_eos for clearing if blank has changed).
7309
731020000205
7311	+ minor corrections/updates to several terminfo entries: rxvt-basic,
7312	  vt520, vt525, ibm5151, xterm-xf86-v40 -TD
7313	+ modify ifdef's for poll() to allow it to use <sys/poll.h>, thereby
7314	  allowing poll() to be used on Linux.
7315	+ add CF_FUNC_POLL macro to check if poll() is able to select from
7316	  standard input.  If not we will not use it, preferring select()
7317	  (adapted from patch by Michael Pakovic <mpakovic@fdn.com>).
7318	+ update CF_SHARED_OPTS macro for SCO Unixware 7.1 to allow building
7319	  shared libraries (reported/tested by Thanh <thanhma@mediaone.net>).
7320	+ override $LANGUAGE in build to avoid incorrect ordering of keynames.
7321	+ correct CF_MATH_LIB parameter, must be sin(x), not sqrt(x).
7322
732320000122
7324	+ resync CF_CHECK_ERRNO and CF_LIB_PREFIX macros from tin and xterm -TD
7325	+ modify CF_MATH_LIB configure macro to parameterize the test function
7326	  used, for reuse in dialog and similar packages.
7327	+ correct tests for file-descriptors in OS/2 EMX mouse support.  A
7328	  negative value could be used by FD_SET, causing the select() call
7329	  to wait indefinitely.
7330
733120000115
7332	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of delete_character)
7333	  to work when assume_default_colors() is not specified.
7334	+ modify warning message from _nc_parse_entry() regarding extended
7335	  capability names to print only if tic/infocmp/toe have the -v flag
7336	  set, and not at all in ordinary user applications.  Otherwise, this
7337	  warning would be shown for screen's extended capabilities in programs
7338	  that use the termcap interface (reported by Todd C Miller).
7339	+ modify use of _nc_tracing from programs such as tic so their debug
7340	  level is not in the same range as values set by trace() function.
7341	+ small panel header cleanup (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
7342	+ add 'railroad' demo for termcap interface.
7343	+ modify 'tic' to write its usage message to stderr (patch by Todd C
7344	  Miller).
7345
734620000108
7347	+ add prototype for erase() to curses.h.in, needed to make test
7348	  programs build with c++/g++.
7349	+ add .c.i and .c.h suffix rules to generated makefiles, for debugging.
7350	+ correct install rule for tack.1; it assumed that file was in the
7351	  current directory (reported by Mike Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com>).
7352	+ modify terminfo/termcap translation to suppress acsc before trying
7353	  sgr if the entry would be too large (patch by Todd C Miller).
7354	+ document a special case of incompatiblity between ncurses 4.2 and
7355	  5.0, add a section for this in INSTALL.
7356	+ add TRACE_DATABASE flag for trace().
7357
735820000101
7359	+ update mach, add mach-color terminfo entries based on Debian diffs
7360	  for ncurses 5.0 -TD
7361	+ add entries for xterm-hp, xterm-vt220, xterm-vt52 and xterm-noapp
7362	  terminfo entries -TD
7363	+ change OTrs capabilities to rs2 in terminfo.src -TD
7364	+ add obsolete and extended capabilities to 'screen' terminfo -TD
7365	+ corrected conversion from terminfo rs2 to termcap rs (cf: 980704)
7366	+ make conversion to termcap ug (underline glitch) more consistently
7367	  applied.
7368	+ fix out-of-scope use of 'personal[]' buffer in 'toe' (this error
7369	  was in the original pre-1.9.7 version, when $HOME/.terminfo was
7370	  introduced).
7371	+ modify 'toe' to ignore terminfo directories to which it has no
7372	  permissions.
7373	+ modify read_termtype(), fixing 'toe', which could dump core when it
7374	  found an incomplete entry such as "dumb" because it did not
7375	  initialize its buffer for _nc_read_file_entry().
7376	+ use -fPIC rather than -fpic for shared libraries on Linux, not
7377	  needed for i386 but some ports (from Debian diffs for 5.0) -TD
7378	+ use explicit VALID_NUMERIC() checks in a few places that had been
7379	  overlooked, and add a check to ensure that init_tabs is nonzero,
7380	  to avoid divide-by-zero (reported by Todd C Miller).
7381	+ minor fix for CF_ANSI_CC_CHECK configure macro, for HPUX 10.x (from
7382	  tin) -TD
7383
738419991218
7385	+ reorder tests during mouse initialization to allow for gpm to run in
7386	  xterm, or for xterm to be used under OS/2 EMX.  Also drop test for
7387	  $DISPLAY in favor of kmous=\E[M or $TERM containing "xterm" (report
7388	  by Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>).
7389	+ modify raw() and noraw() to clear/restore IEXTEN flag which affects
7390	  stty lnext on systems such as FreeBSD (report by Bruce Evans
7391	  <bde@zeta.org.au>, via Jason Evans <jasone@canonware.com>).
7392	+ fix a potential (but unlikely) buffer overflow in failed() function
7393	  of tset.c (reported by Todd C Miller).
7394	+ add manual-page for ncurses extensions, documented curses_version(),
7395	  use_extended_names().
7396
739719991211
7398	+ treat as untranslatable to termcap those terminfo strings which
7399	  contain non-decimal formatting, e.g., hexadecimal or octal.
7400	+ correct commented-out capabilities that cannot be translated to
7401	  termcap, which did not check if a colon must be escaped.
7402	+ correct termcap translation for "%>" and "%+", which did not check
7403	  if a colon must be escaped, for instance.
7404	+ use save_string/save_char for _nc_captoinfo() to eliminate fixed
7405	  buffer (originally for _nc_infotocap() in 960301 -TD).
7406	+ correct expression used for terminfo equivalent of termcap %B,
7407	  adjust regent100 entry which uses this.
7408	+ some cleanup and commenting of ad hoc cases in _nc_infotocap().
7409	+ eliminate a fixed-buffer in tic, used for translating comments.
7410	+ add manpage for infotocap
7411
741219991204
7413	+ add kvt and gnome terminfo entries -TD
7414	+ correct translation of "%%" by infotocap, which was emitted as "%".
7415	+ add "obsolete" termcap strings to terminfo.src
7416	+ modify infocmp to default to showing obsolete capabilities rather
7417	  than terminfo only.
7418	+ modify write_entry.c so that if extended names (i.e., configure
7419	  --enable-tcap-names) are active, then tic will also write "obsolete"
7420	  capabilities that are present in the terminfo source.
7421	+ modify tic so that when running as captoinfo or infotocap, it
7422	  initializes the output format as in -C and -I options, respectively.
7423	+ improve infocmp and tic -f option by splitting long strings that do
7424	  not have if-then-else construct, but do have parameters, e.g., the
7425	  initc for xterm-88color.
7426	+ refine MKtermsort.sh slightly by using bool for the *_from_termcap
7427	  arrays.
7428
742919991127
7430	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of clear_screen,
7431	  clr_eol, clr_eos, scrolling) to work when assume_default_colors() is
7432	  not specified.
7433	+ several small changes to xterm terminfo entries -TD.
7434	+ move logic for _nc_windows in lib_freeall.c inside check for nonnull
7435	  SP, since it is part of that struct.
7436	+ remove obsolete shlib-versions, which was unintentionally re-added
7437	  in 970927.
7438	+ modify infocmp -e, -E options to ensure that generated fallback.c
7439	  type for Booleans agrees with term.h (reported by Eric Norum
7440	  <eric@cls.usask.ca>).
7441	+ correct configure script's use of $LIB_PREFIX, which did not work
7442	  for installing the c++ directory if $libdir did not end with "/lib"
7443	  (reported by Huy Le <huyle@ugcs.caltech.edu>).
7444	+ modify infocmp so -L and -f options work together.
7445	+ modify the initialization of SP->_color_table[] in start_color() so
7446	  that color_content() will return usable values for COLORS greater
7447	  than 8.
7448	+ modify ncurses 'd' test in case COLORS is greater than 16, e.g., for
7449	  xterm-88color, to limit the displayed/computed colors to 16.
7450	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7451	+ simplify coding of the panel library according to suggestions by
7452	  Philippe Blain.
7453	+ improve macro coding for a few macros in curses.priv.h
7454
745519991113
7456	+ modify treatment of color pair 0 so that if ncurses is configured
7457	  to support default colors, and they are not active, then ncurses
7458	  will set that explicitly, not relying on orig_colors or orig_pair.
7459	+ add new extension, assume_default_colors() to provide better control
7460	  over the use of default colors.
7461	+ modify test programs to use more-specific ifdef's for existence of
7462	  wresize(), resizeterm() and use_default_colors().
7463	+ modify configure script to add specific ifdef's for some functions
7464	  that are included when --enable-ext-funcs is in effect, so their
7465	  existence can be ifdef'd in the test programs.
7466	+ reorder some configure options, moving those extensions that have
7467	  evolved from experimental status into a new section.
7468	+ change configure --enable-tcap-names to enable this by default.
7469
747019991106
7471	+ install tack's manpage (reported by Robert Weiner
7472	  <robert@progplus.com>)
7473	+ correct worm.c's handling of KEY_RESIZE (patch by Frank Heckenbach).
7474	+ modify curses.h.in, undef'ing some symbols to avoid conflict with C++
7475	  STL (reported by Matt Gerassimoff <mgeras@ticon.net>)
7476
747719991030
7478	+ modify linux terminfo entry to indicate that dim does not mix with
7479	  color (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@enteract.com>).
7480	+ correct several typos in terminfo entries related to missing '['
7481	  in CSI's -TD
7482	+ fix several compiler warnings in c++ binding (reported by Tim
7483	  Mooney for alphaev56-dec-osf4.0f
7484	+ rename parameter of _nc_free_entries() to accommodate lint.
7485	+ correct lint rule for tack, used incorrect list of source files.
7486	+ add case to config.guess, config.sub for Rhapsody.
7487	+ improve configure tests for libg++ and libstdc++ by omitting the
7488	  math library (which is missing on Rhapsody), and improved test for
7489	  the math library itself (adapted from path by Nelson H. F. Beebe).
7490	+ explicitly initialize to zero several data items which were
7491	  implicitly initialized, e.g., cur_term.  If not explicitly
7492	  initialized, their storage type is C (common), and causes problems
7493	  linking on Rhapsody 5.5 using gcc 2.7.2.1 (reported by Nelson H. F.
7494	  Beebe).
7495	+ modify Ada95 binding to not include the linker option for Ada
7496	  bindings in the Ada headers, but in the Makefiles instead (patch by
7497	  Juergen Pfeifer).
7498
749919991023 5.0 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
7500	+ effective with release of 5.0, change NCURSES_VERSION_PATCH to
7501	  4-digit year.
7502	+ add function curses_version(), to return ncurses library version
7503	  (request by Bob van der Poel).
7504	+ remove rmam, smam from cygwin terminfo entry.
7505	+ modify FreeBSD cons25 terminfo entry to add cnorm and cvvis, as well
7506	  as update ncv to indicate that 'dim' conflicts with colors.
7507	+ modify configure script to use symbolic links for FreeBSD shared
7508	  libraries by default.
7509	+ correct ranf() function in rain and worm programs to ensure it does
7510	  not return 1.0
7511	+ hide the cursor in hanoi.c if it is running automatically.
7512	+ amend lrtest.c to account for optimizations that exploit margin
7513	  wrapping.
7514	+ add a simple terminfo demo, dots.c
7515	+ modify SIGINT/SIGQUIT handler to set a flag used in _nc_outch() to
7516	  tell it to use write() rather than putc(), since the latter is not
7517	  safe in a signal handler according to POSIX.
7518	+ add/use internal macros _nc_flush() and NC_OUTPUT to hide details
7519	  of output-file pointer in ncurses library.
7520	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS (see 971115), since they are needed for SCO
7521	  OpenServer.
7522	+ correct CC_SHARED_OPTS for building shared libraries for SCO
7523	  OpenServer.
7524	+ remove usleep() from alternatives in napms(), since it may interact
7525	  with alarm(), causing a process to be interrupted by SIGALRM (with
7526	  advice from Bela Lubkin).
7527	+ modify terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4 to build/work with
7528	  GNAT 3.10 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
7529	+ remove part of CF_GPP_LIBRARY configure-script macro, which did not
7530	  work with gcc 2.7.2.3
7531	+ minor fix to test/tclock.c to avoid beeping more than once per second
7532	+ add 's' and ' ' decoding to test/rain.c
7533
7534991016	pre-release
7535	+ corrected BeOS code for lib_twait.c, making nodelay() function work.
7536
7537991009	pre-release
7538	+ correct ncurses' value for cursor-column in PutCharLR(), which was
7539	  off-by-one in one case (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
7540	+ fix some minor errors in position_check() debugging code, found while
7541	  using this to validate the PutCharLR() patch.
7542	+ modify firework, lrtest, worm examples to be resizable, and to
7543	  recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' ' for resume.
7544	+ restore reverted change to  terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
7545	  add a note on building with gnat 3.10p to Ada95/TODO.
7546	+ add a copy of the standalone configure script for the test-directory
7547	  to simplify testing on SCO and Solaris.
7548
7549991002	pre-release
7550	+ minor fixes for _nc_msec_cost(), color_content(), pair_content(),
7551	  _nc_freewin(), ClrBottom() and onscreen_mvcur() (analysis by Philippe
7552	  Blain, comments by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7553	+ simplify definition of PANEL and eliminate internal functions
7554	  _nc_calculate_obscure(), _nc_free_obscure() and _nc_override(),
7555	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, analysis by Philippe Blain
7556	  <bledp@voila.fr>)).
7557	+ change renaming of dft_fgbg.3x to use_default_colors.3ncurses in
7558	  man_db.renames, since Debian is not concerned with 14-character
7559	  filename limitation (Debian bug report by Josip Rodin
7560	  <joy@cibalia.gkvk.hr>).
7561	+ corrected scoansi terminfo entry by testing with scoterm and console.
7562	+ revert change from 990614 to terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
7563	  since this does not work for gnat 3.10p
7564	+ modify tclock example to be resizable (if ncurses' sigwinch handler
7565	  is used), and in color.
7566	+ use $(CC) rather than 'gcc' in MK_SHARED_LIB symbols, used for Linux
7567	  shared library rules.
7568
7569990925	pre-release
7570	+ add newer NetBSD console terminfo entries
7571	+ add amiga-8bit terminfo entry (from Henning 'Faroul' Peters
7572	  <Faroul@beyond.kn-bremen.de>)
7573	+ remove -lcurses -ltermcap from configure script's check for the gpm
7574	  library, since they are not really necessary (a properly configured
7575	  gpm library has no dependency on any curses library), and if the
7576	  curses library is not installed, this would cause the test to fail.
7577	+ modify tic's -C option so that terminfo "use=" clauses are translated
7578	  to "tc=" clauses even when running it as captoinfo.
7579	+ modify CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY configure macro to perform its check only
7580	  for GNU C++, since that library conflicts with SGI's libC on IRIX-6.2
7581	+ modify CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro to support build on NetBSD with
7582	  ELF libraries (patch by Bernd Ernesti <bernd@arresum.inka.de>).
7583	+ correct a problem in libpanel, where the _nc_top_panel variable was
7584	  not set properly when bottom_panel() is called to hide a panel which
7585	  is the only one on the stack (report/analysis by Michael Andres
7586	  <ma@suse.de>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
7587
7588990918	pre-release
7589	+ add acsc string to HP 70092 terminfo entry (patch by Joerg Wunsch
7590	  <j@interface-business.de>).
7591	+ add top-level uninstall.data and uninstall.man makefile rules.
7592	+ correct logic of CF_LINK_FUNCS configure script, from BeOS changes so
7593	  that hard-links work on Unix again.
7594	+ change default value of cf_cv_builtin_bool to 1 (suggested by
7595	  Jeremy Buhler), making it less likely that a conflicting declaration
7596	  of bool will be seen when compiling with C++.
7597
7598990911	pre-release
7599	+ improved configure checks for builtin.h
7600	+ minor changes to C++ binding (remove static initializations, and make
7601	  configure-test for parameter initializations) for features not
7602	  allowed by vendor's C++ compilers (reported by Martin Mokrejs, this
7603	  applies to SGI, though I found SCO has the same characteristics).
7604	+ corrected quoting of ETIP_xxx definitions which support old versions
7605	  of g++, e.g., those using -lg++
7606	+ remove 'L' code from safe_sprintf.c, since 'long double' is not
7607	  widely portable.  safe_sprintf.c is experimental, however, and
7608	  exists mainly as a fallback for systems without snprintf (reported
7609	  by Martin Mokrejs <mmokrejs@natur.cuni.cz>, for IRIX 6.2)
7610	+ modify definition of _nc_tinfo_fkeys in broken-linker configuration
7611	  so that it is not unnecessarily made extern (Jeffrey C Honig).
7612
7613990904	pre-release
7614	+ move definition for builtin.h in configure tests to specific check
7615	  for libg++, since qt uses the same filename incompatibly.
7616	+ correct logic of lib_termcap.c tgetstr function, which did not copy
7617	  the result to the buffer parameter.  Testing shows Solaris does
7618	  update this, though of course tgetent's buffer is untouched (reported
7619	  in Peter Edwards <peter.edwards@ireland.com> in
7620	  mpc.lists.freebsd.current newsgroup.
7621	+ corrected beterm terminfo entry, which lists some capabilities which
7622	  are not actually provided by the BeOS Terminal.
7623	+ add special logic to replace select() calls on BeOS, whose select()
7624	  function works only for sockets.
7625	+ correct missing escape in mkterm.h.awk.in, which caused part
7626	  of the copyright noticed to be omitted (reported by Peter
7627	  Wemm <peter@netplex.com.au>).
7628	> several small changes to make the c++ binding and demo work on OS/2
7629	  EMX (related to a clean reinstall of EMX):
7630	+ correct library-prefix for c++ binding; none is needed.
7631	+ add $x suffix to make_hash and make_keys so 'make distclean' works.
7632	+ correct missing $x suffix for tack, c++ demo executables.
7633	+ split CF_CXX_LIBRARY into CF_GPP_LIBRARY (for -lg++) and
7634	  CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY (for -lstdc++)
7635
7636990828	pre-release
7637	+ add cygwin terminfo entry -TD
7638	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT configure macro to set .exe extension for cygwin.
7639	+ add configure option --without-cxx-binding, modifying the existing
7640	  --without-cxx option to check only for the C++ compiler
7641	  characteristics.  Whether or not the C++ binding is needed, the
7642	  configure script checks for the size/type of bool, to make ncurses
7643	  match.  Otherwise C++ applications cannot use ncurses.
7644
7645990821	pre-release
7646	+ updated configure macros CF_MAKEFLAGS, CF_CHECK_ERRNO
7647	+ minor corrections to beterm terminfo entry.
7648	+ modify lib_setup.c to reject values of $TERM which have a '/' in
7649	  them.
7650	+ add ifdef's to guard against CS5, CS6, CS7, CS8 being zero, as more
7651	  than one is on BeOS.  That would break a switch statement.
7652	+ add configure macro CF_LINK_FUNCS to detect and work around BeOS's
7653	  nonfunctional link().
7654	+ improved configure macros CF_BOOL_DECL and CF_BOOL_SIZE to detect
7655	  BeOS's bool, which is declared as an unsigned char.
7656
7657990814	pre-release
7658	+ add ms-vt100 terminfo entry -TD
7659	+ minor fixes for misc/emx.src, based on testing with tack.
7660	+ minor fix for test/ncurses.c, test 'a', in case ncv is not set.
7661
7662990731	pre-release
7663	+ minor correction for 'screen' terminfo entry.
7664	+ clarify description of errret values for setupterm in manpage.
7665	+ modify tput to allow it to emit capabilities for hardcopy terminals
7666	  (patch by Goran Uddeborg <goeran@uddeborg.pp.se>).
7667	+ modify the 'o' (panel) test in ncurses.c to show the panels in color
7668	  or at least in bold, to test Juergen's change to wrefresh().
7669	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
7670	+ Fixes a problem using wbkgdset() with panels.  It has actually
7671	  nothing to with panels but is a problem in the implementation of
7672	  wrefresh().  Whenever a window changes its background attribute to
7673	  something different than newscr's background attribute, the whole
7674	  window is touched to force a copy to newscr.  This is an unwanted
7675	  side-effect of wrefresh() and it is actually not necessary.  A
7676	  changed background attribute affects only further outputs of
7677	  background it doesn't mean anything to the current content of the
7678	  window.  So there is no need to force a copy.  (reported by Frank
7679	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>).
7680	+ an upward compatible enhancement of the NCursesPad class in the C++
7681	  binding.  It allows one to add a "viewport" window to a pad and then
7682	  to use panning to view the pad through the viewport window.
7683
7684990724	pre-release
7685	+ suppress a call to def_prog_mode() in the SIGTSTP handler if the
7686	  signal was received while not in curses mode, e.g., endwin() was
7687	  called in preparation for spawning a shell command (reported by Frank
7688	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
7689	+ corrected/enhanced xterm-r5, xterm+sl, xterm+sl-twm terminfo entries.
7690	+ change test for xterm mouse capability:  it now checks only if the
7691	  user's $DISPLAY variable is set in conjunction with the kmous
7692	  capability being present in the terminfo.  Before, it checked if any
7693	  of "xterm", "rxvt" or "kterm" were substrings of the terminal name.
7694	  However, some emulators which are incompatible with xterm in other
7695	  ways do support the xterm mouse capability.
7696	+ reviewed and made minor changes in ncurses to quiet g++ warnings
7697	  about shadowed or uninitialized variables.  g++ incorrectly warns
7698	  about uninitialized variables because it does not take into account
7699	  short-circuit expression evaluation.
7700	+ change ncurses 'b' test to start in color pair 0 and to show in the
7701	  right margin those attributes which are suppressed by no_color_video,
7702	  i.e., "(NCV)".
7703	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h so that __attribute__ is not redefined
7704	  when compiling with g++, but instead disabled the macros derived for
7705	  __attribute__ since g++ does not consistently recognize the same
7706	  keywords as gcc (reported by Stephan K Zitz <zitz@erf.net>).
7707	+ update dependencies for term.h in ncurses/modules (reported by
7708	  Ilya Zakharevich).
7709
7710990710	pre-release
7711	+ modify the form demo in ncurses.c to illustrate how to manipulate the
7712	  field appearance, e.g, for highlighting or translating the field
7713	  contents.
7714	+ correct logic in write_entry from split-out of home_terminfo in
7715	  980919, which prevented update of $HOME/.terminfo (reported by Philip
7716	  Spencer <pspencer@fields.utoronto.ca>).
7717
7718990703	pre-release
7719	+ modify linux terminfo description to make use of kernel 2.2.x mods
7720	  that support cursor style, e.g., to implement cvvis (patch by Frank
7721	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
7722	+ add special-case in setupterm to retain previously-saved terminal
7723	  settings in cur_term, which happens when curses and termcap calls are
7724	  mixed (from report by Bjorn Helgaas <helgaas@dhc.net>).
7725	+ suppress initialization of key-tries in _nc_keypad() if we are only
7726	  disabling keypad mode, e.g., in endwin() called when keypad() was
7727	  not.
7728	+ modify the Ada95 makefile to ensure that always the Ada files from
7729	  the development tree are used for building and not the eventually
7730	  installed ones (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
7731
7732990626	pre-release
7733	+ use TTY definition in tack/sysdep.c rather than struct termios
7734	  (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
7735	+ add a fallback for strstr, used in lib_mvcur.c and tack/edit.c,
7736	  not present on sysV68 (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
7737	+ correct definition in comp_hash.c to build with configure
7738	  --with-rcs-ids option.
7739
7740990619	pre-release
7741	+ modified ifdef's for sigaction and sigvec to ensure we do not try to
7742	  handle SIGTSTP if neither is available (from report by Philippe De
7743	  Muyter).
7744	> patch by Philippe De Muyter:
7745	+ in tic.c, use `unlink' if `remove' is not available.
7746	+ use only `unsigned' as fallback value for `speed_t'.  Some files used
7747	  `short' instead.
7748
7749990616	pre-release
7750	+ fix some compiler warnings in tack.
7751	+ add a check for predefined bool type in CC, based on report that
7752	  BeOS predefines a bool type.
7753	+ correct logic for infocmp -e option, i.e., the configure
7754	  --with-fallbacks option, which I'd not updated when implementing
7755	  extended names (cf:  990301).  The new implementation adds a "-E"
7756	  option to infocmp -TD
7757	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7758	+ introduce the private type Curses_Bool in the Ada95 binding
7759	  implementation.  This is to clearly represent the use of "bool" also
7760	  in the binding.  It should have no effect on the generated code.
7761	+ improve the man page for field_buffer() to tell the people, that the
7762	  whole buffer including leading/trailing spaces is returned.  This is
7763	  a common source of confusion, so it's better to document it clearly.
7764
7765990614	pre-release
7766	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7767	+ use pragma PreElaborate in several places.
7768	+ change a few System.Address uses to more specific types.
7769	+ change interface version-number to 1.0
7770	+ regenerate Ada95 HTML files.
7771
7772990612	pre-release
7773	+ modify lib_endwin.c to avoid calling reset_shell_mode(), return ERR
7774	  if it appears that curses was never initialized, e.g., by initscr().
7775	  For instance, this guards against setting the terminal modes to
7776	  strange values if endwin() is called after setupterm().  In the same
7777	  context, Solaris curses will dump core.
7778	+ modify logic that avoids a conflict in lib_vidattr.c between sgr0 and
7779	  equivalent values in rmso or rmul by ensuring we do not modify the
7780	  data which would be returned by the terminfo or termcap interfaces
7781	  (reported by Brad Pepers <brad@linuxcanada.com>, cf:  960706).
7782	+ add a null-pointer check for SP in lib_vidattr.c to logic that checks
7783	  for magic cookies.
7784	+ improve fallback declaration of 'bool' when the --without-cxx option
7785	  is given, by using a 'char' on i386 and related hosts (prompted by
7786	  discussion with Alexander V Lukyanov).
7787
7788990605	pre-release
7789	+ include time.h in lib_napms.c if nanosleep is used (patch by
7790	  R Lindsay Todd <toddr@rpi.edu>).
7791	+ add an "#undef bool" to curses.h, in case someone tries to define it,
7792	  e.g., perl.
7793	+ add check to tparm to guard against divide by zero (reported by Aaron
7794	  Campbell <aaron@ug.cs.dal.ca>).
7795
7796990516	pre-release
7797	+ minor fix to build tack on CLIX (mismatched const).
7798	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7799	+ change Juergen's old email address with new one in the files where it
7800	  is referenced.  The Ada95 HTML pages are regenerated.
7801	+ update MANIFEST to list the tack files.
7802
7803990509	pre-release
7804	+ minor fixes to make 'tack' build/link on NeXT (reported by Francisco
7805	  A. Tomei Torres).
7806
7807990417	pre-release
7808	+ add 'tack' program (which is GPL'd), updating it to work with the
7809	  modified TERMTYPE struct and making a fix to support setaf/setab
7810	  capabilities.  Note that the tack program is not part of the
7811	  ncurses libraries, but an application which can be distributed with
7812	  ncurses.  The configure script will ignore the directory if it is
7813	  omitted, however.
7814	+ modify gpm mouse support so that buttons 2 and 3 are used for
7815	  select/paste only when shift key is pressed, making them available
7816	  for use by an application (patch by Klaus Weide).
7817	+ add complete list of function keys to scoansi terminfo entry - TD
7818
7819990410	pre-release
7820	+ add a simple test program cardfile.c to illustrate how to read form
7821	  fields, and showing forms within panels.
7822	+ change shared-library versioning for the Hurd to be like Linux rather
7823	  than *BSD (patch by Mark Kettenis <kettenis@wins.uva.nl>).
7824	+ add linux-lat terminfo entry.
7825	+ back-out _nc_access check in read_termcap.c (both incorrect and
7826	  unnecessary, except to guard against a small window where the file's
7827	  ownership may change).
7828
7829990403	pre-release
7830	+ remove conflicting _nc_free_termtype() function from test module
7831	  lib_freeall.c
7832	+ use _nc_access check in read_termcap.c for termpaths[] array (noted
7833	  by Jeremy Buhler, indicating that Alan Cox made a similar patch).
7834	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7835	+ modify menu creation to not inherit status flag from the default menu
7836	  which says that the associated marker string has been allocated and
7837	  should be freed (bug reported by Marek Paliwoda"
7838	  <paliwoda@kki.net.pl>)
7839
7840990327	pre-release (alpha.gnu.org:/gnu/ncurses-5.0-beta1.tar.gz)
7841	+ minor fixes to xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry - TD.
7842	+ split up an expression in configure script check for ldconfig to
7843	  workaround limitation of BSD/OS sh (reported by Jeff Haas
7844	  <jmh@mail.msen.com>).
7845	+ correct a typo in man/form_hook.3x (Todd C Miller).
7846
7847990318	pre-release
7848	+ parenthesize and undef 'index' symbol in c++ binding and demo, to
7849	  accommodate its definition on NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei
7850	  Torres).
7851	+ add sigismember() to base/sigaction.c compatibility to link on NeXT
7852	  (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
7853	+ further refinements to inequality in hashmap.c to cover a case with
7854	  ^U in nvi (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7855
7856990316	pre-release
7857	+ add fallback definition for getcwd, to link on NeXT.
7858	+ add a copy of cur_term to tic.c to make it link properly on NeXT
7859	  (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
7860	+ change inequality in hashmap.c which checks the distance traveled by
7861	  a chunk so that ^D command in nvi (scrolls 1/2 screen) will use
7862	  scrolling logic (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov, reported by Jeffrey
7863	  C Honig).
7864
7865990314	pre-release
7866	+ modify lib_color.c to handle a special case where the curscr
7867	  attributes have been made obsolete (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7868	+ update BSD/OS console terminfo entries to use klone+sgr and
7869	  klone+color (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
7870	+ update glibc addon configure script for extended capabilities.
7871	+ correct a couple of warnings in the --enable-const configuration.
7872	+ make comp_hash build properly with _nc_strdup(), on NeXT (reported by
7873	  Francisco A. Tomei Torres <francisco.tomei@cwix.com>).
7874
7875990313	pre-release
7876	+ correct typos in linux-c initc string - TD
7877	+ add 'crt' terminfo entry, update xterm-xfree86 entry - TD
7878	+ remove a spurious argument to tparm() in lib_sklrefr.c (patch by
7879	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
7880
7881990307	pre-release
7882	+ back-out change to wgetch because it causes a problem with ^Z
7883	  handling in lynx (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
7884
7885990306	pre-release
7886	+ add -G option to tic and infocmp, to reverse the "-g" option.
7887	+ recode functions in name_match.c to avoid use of strncpy, which
7888	  caused a 4-fold slowdown in tic (cf: 980530).
7889	+ correct a few warnings about sign-extension in recent changes.
7890	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7891	+ fixes suggested by Jeff Bradbury <jibradbury@lucent.com>:
7892	  + improved parameter checking in new_fieldtype().
7893	  + fixed a typo in wgetch() timeout handling.
7894	  + allow slk_init() to be called per newterm call.  The internal SLK
7895	    state is stored in the SCREEN struct after every newterm() and then
7896	    reset for the next newterm.
7897	  + fix the problem that a slk_refresh() refreshes stdscr if the
7898	    terminal has true SLKs.
7899	+ update HTML documentation for Ada binding.
7900
7901990301	pre-release
7902	+ remove 'bool' casts from definitions of TRUE/FALSE so that statements
7903	  such as "#if TRUE" work.  This was originally done to allow for a C++
7904	  compiler which would warn of implicit conversions between enum and
7905	  int, but is not needed for g++ (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
7906	+ add use_extended_names() function to allow applications to suppress
7907	  read of the extended capabilities.
7908	+ add configure option --enable-tcap-names to support logic which
7909	  allows ncurses' tic to define new (i.e., extended) terminal
7910	  capabilities.  This is activated by the tic -x switch.  The infocmp
7911	  program automatically shows or compares extended capabilities.
7912	  Note:  This changes the Strings and similar arrays in the TERMTYPE
7913	  struct so that applications which manipulate it must be recompiled.
7914	+ use macros typeMalloc, typeCalloc and typeRealloc consistently
7915	  throughout ncurses library.
7916	+ add _nc_strdup() to doalloc.c.
7917	+ modify define_key() to allow multiple strings to be bound to the
7918	  same keycode.
7919	+ correct logic error in _nc_remove_string, from 990220.
7920	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
7921	+ regenerate some of the html documentation
7922	+ minor cleanup in terminal_interface-curses.adb
7923
7924990220	pre-release
7925	+ resolve ambiguity of kend/kll/kslt and khome/kfnd/kich1 strings in
7926	  xterm and ncsa terminfo entries by removing the unneeded ones.  Note
7927	  that some entries will return kend & khome versus kslt and kfnd, for
7928	  PC-style keyboards versus strict vt220 compatiblity - TD
7929	+ add function keybound(), which returns the definition associated with
7930	  a given keycode.
7931	+ modify define_key() to undefine the given string when no keycode is
7932	  given.
7933	+ modify keyok() so it works properly if there is more than one string
7934	  defined for a keycode.
7935	+ add check to tic to warn about terminfo descriptions that contain
7936	  more than one key assigned to the same string.  This is shown only if
7937	  the verbose (-v) option is given.  Moved related logic (tic -v) from
7938	  comp_parse.c into the tic program.
7939	+ add/use _nc_trace_tries() to show the function keys that will be
7940	  recognized.
7941	+ rename init_acs to _nc_init_acs (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7942	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
7943	+ remove all the *_adabind.c from ncurses, menu and form projects.
7944	  Those little helper routines have all been implemented in Ada and are
7945	  no longer required.
7946	+ The option handling routines in menu and form have been made more
7947	  save.  They now make sure that the unused bits in options are always
7948	  zero.
7949	+ modify configuration scripts to
7950	  + use gnatmake as default compiler name.  This is a safer choice than
7951	    gcc, because some GNAT implementations use other names for the
7952	    compilerdriver to avoid conflicts.
7953	  + use new default installation locations for the Ada files according
7954	    to the proposed GNU Ada filesystem standard (for Linux).
7955	+ simplify the Makefiles for the Ada binding
7956	+ rename ada_include directory to src.
7957
7958990213
7959	+ enable sigwinch handler by default.
7960	+ disable logic that allows setbuf to be turned off/on, because some
7961	  implementations will overrun the buffer after it has been disabled
7962	  once.
7963
7964990206
7965	+ suppress sc/rc capabilities from terminal description if they appear
7966	  in smcup/rmcup.  This affects only scrolling optimization, to fix a
7967	  problem reported by several people with xterm's alternate screen,
7968	  though the problem is more general.
7969	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
7970	+ removed all pragma Preelaborate() stuff, because the just released
7971	  gnat-3.11p complains on some constructs.
7972	+ fixed some upper/lower case notations because gnat-3.11p found
7973	  inconsistent use.
7974	+ used a new method to generate the HTML documentation of the Ada95
7975	  binding.  This invalidates nearly the whole ./Ada95/html subtree.
7976	  Nearly all current files in this subtree are removed
7977
7978990130
7979	+ cache last result from _nc_baudrate, for performance (suggested by
7980	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
7981	+ modify ClrUpdate() function to workaround a problem in nvi, which
7982	  uses redrawwin in SIGTSTP handling.  Jeffrey C Honig reported that
7983	  ncurses repainted the screen with nulls before resuming normal
7984	  operation (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7985	+ generalize is_xterm() function a little by letting xterm/rxvt/kterm
7986	  be any substring rather than the prefix.
7987	+ modify lib_data.c to initialize SP.  Some linkers, e.g., IBM's, will
7988	  not link a module if the only symbols exported from the module are
7989	  uninitialized ones (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).  Ilya says that he
7990	  has seen messages claiming this behavior conforms to the standard.)
7991	+ move call on _nc_signal_handler past _nc_initscr, to avoid a small
7992	  window where Nttyb hasn't yet been filled (reported by Klaus Weide).
7993	+ modify lib_tstp.c to block SIGTTOU when handling SIGTSTP, fixes a
7994	  problem where ncurses applications which were run via a shell script
7995	  would hang when given a ^Z.  Also, check if the terminal's process
7996	  group is consistent, i.e., a shell has not taken ownership of it,
7997	  before deciding to save the current terminal settings in the SIGTSTP
7998	  handler (patch by Klaus Weide).
7999	+ correct spelling of ACS_ names in curs_border.3x (reported by Bob van
8000	  der Poel <bvdpoel@kootenay.com>).
8001	+ correct a couple of typos in the macros supporting the configure
8002	  --with-shlib-version option.
8003
8004990123
8005	+ modify fty_regex.c to compile on HAVE_REGEXPR_H_FUNCS machine (patch
8006	  by Kimio Ishii <ishii@csl.sony.co.jp>).
8007	+ rename BSDI console terminfo entries:  bsdos to bsdos-pc-nobold, and
8008	  bsdos-bold to bsdos-pc (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
8009	+ modify tput to accept termcap names as an alternative to terminfo
8010	  names (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
8011	+ correct a typo in term.7 (Todd C Miller).
8012	+ add configure --with-shlib-version option to allow installing shared
8013	  libraries named according to release or ABI versions.  This
8014	  parameterizes some existing logic in the configure script, and is
8015	  intended for compatiblity upgrades on Digital Unix, which used
8016	  versioned libraries in ncurses 4.2, but no longer does (cf:  980425).
8017	+ resync configure script against autoconf 2.13 + patches
8018	+ minor improvements for teraterm terminfo entry based on the program's
8019	  source distribution.
8020
8021990116
8022	+ change default for configure --enable-big-core to assume machines do
8023	  have enough memory to resolve terminfo.src in-memory.
8024	+ correct name of ncurses library in TEST_ARGS when configuring with
8025	  debug library.
8026	+ minor fixes to compile ncurses library with broken-linker with g++.
8027	+ add --enable-broken-linker configure option, default to environment
8028	  variable $BROKEN_LINKER (request by Jeffrey C Honig).
8029	+ change key_names[] array to static since it is not part of the curses
8030	  interface (reported by Jeffrey C Honig <jch@bsdi.com>).
8031
8032990110
8033	+ add Tera Term terminfo entry - TD
8034
8035990109
8036	+ reviewed/corrected macros in curses.h as per XSI document.
8037	+ provide support for termcap PC variable by copying it from terminfo
8038	  data and using it as the padding character in tputs (reported by
8039	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
8040	+ corrected iris-ansi and iris-ansi-ap terminfo entries for kent and
8041	  kf9-kf12 capabilities, as well as adding kcbt.
8042	+ document the mouse handling mechanism in menu_driver and make a small
8043	  change in menu_driver's return codes to provide more consistency
8044	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
8045	+ add fallback definition for NCURSES_CONST to termcap.h.in (reported
8046	  by Uchiyama Yasushi <uch@nop.or.jp>).
8047	+ move lib_restart.c to ncurses/base, since it uses curses functions
8048	  directly, and therefore cannot be used in libtinfo.so
8049	+ rename micro_char_size to micro_col_size, adding #define to retain
8050	  old name.
8051	+ add set_a_attributes and set_pglen_inch to terminfo structure, as per
8052	  XSI and Solaris 2.5.
8053	+ minor makefile files to build ncurses test_progs
8054	+ update html files in misc directory to reflect changes since 4.2
8055
8056990102
8057	+ disable scroll hints when hashmap is enabled (patch by Alexander
8058	  V Lukyanov).
8059	+ move logic for tic's verify of -e option versus -I and -C so that the
8060	  terminfo data is not processed if we cannot handle -e (reported by
8061	  Steven Schwartz <steves@unitrends.com>.
8062	+ add test-driver traces to terminfo and termcap functions.
8063	+ provide support for termcap ospeed variable by copying it from the
8064	  internal cur_term member, and using ospeed as the baudrate reference
8065	  for the delay_output and tputs functions.  If an application does not
8066	  set ospeed, the library behaves as before, except that _nc_timed_wait
8067	  is no longer used, or needed, since ospeed always has a value.  But
8068	  the application can modify ospeed to adjust the output of padding
8069	  characters (prompted by a bug report for screen 3.7.6 and email from
8070	  Michael Schroeder <Michael.Schroeder@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>).
8071	+ removed some unused ifdef's as part of Alexander's restructuring.
8072	+ reviewed/updated curses.h, term.h against X/Open Curses Issue 4
8073	  Version 2.  This includes making some parameters NCURSES_CONST
8074	  rather than const, e.g., in termcap.h.
8075	+ change linux terminfo entry to use ncv#2, since underline does not
8076	  work with color
8077
8078981226
8079	+ miscellaneous corrections for curses.h to match XSI.
8080	+ change --enable-no-padding configure option to be normally enabled.
8081	+ add section to ncurses manpage for environment variables.
8082	+ investigated Debian bug report that pertains to screen 3.7.4/3.7.6
8083	  changes, found no sign of problems on Linux (or on SunOS, Solaris)
8084	  running screen built with ncurses.
8085	+ check if tmp_fp is opened in tic.c before closing it (patch by Pavel
8086	  Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>).
8087	+ correct several font specification typos in man-pages.
8088
8089981220
8090	+ correct default value for BUILD_CC (reported by Larry Virden).
8091
8092981219
8093	+ modify _nc_set_writedir() to set a flag in _nc_tic_dir() to prevent
8094	  it from changing the terminfo directory after chdir'ing to it.
8095	  Otherwise, a relative path in $TERMINFO would confuse tic (prompted
8096	  by a Debian bug report).
8097	+ correct/update ncsa terminfo entry (report by Larry Virden).
8098	+ update xterm-xfree86 terminfo to current (patch 90), smcur/rmcur
8099	  changes
8100	+ add Mathew Vernon's mach console entries to terminfo.src
8101	+ more changes, moving functions, as part of Alexander's restructuring.
8102	+ modify configure script for GNU/Hurd share-library support, introduce
8103	  BUILD_CC variable for cross compiling (patch by Uchiyama Yasushi
8104	  <uch@nop.or.jp>)
8105
8106981212
8107	+ add environment variable NCURSES_NO_SETBUF to allow disabling the
8108	  setbuf feature, for testing purposes.
8109	+ correct ifdef's for termcap.h versus term.h that suppress redundant
8110	  declarations of prototypes (reported by H.J.Lu).
8111	+ modify Makefile.os2 to add linker flags which allow multiple copies
8112	  of an application to coexist (reported by Ilya Zakharevich).
8113	+ update Makefile.glibc and associated configure script so that ncurses
8114	  builds as a glibc add-on with the new directory configuration
8115	  (reported by H.J.Lu).
8116
8117981205
8118	+ modify gen_reps() function in gen.c to work properly on SunOS
8119	  (sparc), which is a left-to-right architecture.
8120	+ modify relative_move and tputs to avoid an interaction with the
8121	  BSD-style padding.  The relative_move function could produce a string
8122	  to replace on the screen which began with a numeric character, which
8123	  was then interpreted by tputs as padding.  Now relative_move will not
8124	  generate a string with a leading digit in that case (overwrite).
8125	  Also, tputs will only interpret padding if the string begins with a
8126	  digit; as coded it permitted a string to begin with a decimal point
8127	  or asterisk (reported by Larry Virden).
8128	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
8129	+ fix a typo in m_driver.c mouse handling and improves the error
8130	  handling.
8131	+ fix broken mouse handling in the Ada95 binding
8132	+ make the Ada95 sample application menus work with the new menu mouse
8133	  support
8134	+ improve the mouse handling introduced by Ilya; it now handles menus
8135	  with spacing.
8136	+ repair a minor bug in the menu_driver code discovered during this
8137	  rework.
8138	+ add new function wmouse_trafo() to hide implementation details of
8139	  _yoffset member of WINDOW struct needed for mouse coordinate
8140	  transformation.
8141
8142981128
8143	+ modify Ada95/gen/gen.c to avoid using return-value of sprintf, since
8144	  some older implementations (e.g., SunOS 4.x) return the buffer
8145	  address rather than its length.
8146	> patch by Rick Ohnemus:
8147	+ modify demo.cc to get it to compile with newer versions of egcs.
8148	+ trim a space that appears at the end of the table preprocessor lines
8149	  ('\" t).  This space prevents some versions of man from displaying
8150	  the pages - changed to remove all trailing whitespace (TD)
8151	+ finally, 'make clean' does not remove panel objects.
8152	> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
8153	+ allow remapping of OS/2 mouse buttons using environment variable
8154	  MOUSE_BUTTONS_123 with the default value 132.
8155	+ add mouse support to ncurses menus.
8156
8157981121
8158	+ modify misc/makedef.cmd to report old-style .def file symbols, and to
8159	  generate the .def files sorted by increasing names rather than the
8160	  reverse.
8161	+ add misc/*.ref which are J.J.G.Ripoll's dll definition files (renamed
8162	  from misc/*.old), and updated based on the entrypoint coding he used
8163	  for an older version of ncurses.
8164	+ add README.emx, to document how to build on OS/2 EMX.
8165	+ updates for config.guess, config.sub from Lynx
8166	> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
8167	+ minor fixes for mouse handling mode:
8168	  a) Do not initialize mouse if the request is to have no mouse;
8169	  b) Allow switching of OS/2 VIO mouse on and off.
8170	+ modify Makefile.os2 to support alternative means of generating
8171	  configure script, by translating Unix script with Perl.
8172	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
8173	+ Updates MANIFEST to reflect changes in source structure
8174	+ Eliminates a problem introduced with my last patch for the C++
8175	  binding in the panels code.  It removes the update() call done in the
8176	  panel destructor.
8177	+ Changes in the Ada95 binding to better support systems where
8178	  sizeof(chtype)!=sizeof(int) (e.g.  DEC Alpha).
8179
8180981114
8181	+ modify install-script for manpages to skip over .orig and .rej files
8182	  (request by Larry Virden).
8183	> patches/discussion by Alexander V Lukyanov:
8184	+ move base-library sources into ncurses/base and tty (serial terminal)
8185	  sources into ncurses/tty, as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's proposed
8186	  changes to ncurses library.
8187	+ copy _tracemouse() into ncurses.c so that lib_tracemse.c need not
8188	  be linked into the normal ncurses library.
8189	+ move macro winch to a function, to hide details of struct ldat
8190	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
8191	+ fix a potential compile problem in cursesw.cc
8192	+ some Ada95 cosmetics
8193	+ fix a gen.c problem when compiling on 64-Bit machines
8194	+ fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in "-L" linker switch
8195	+ modify Ada95 makefiles to use the INSTALL_PREFIX setting.
8196
8197981107
8198	+ ifdef'd out lib_freeall.c when not configured.
8199	+ rename _tracebits() to _nc_tracebits().
8200	+ move terminfo-library sources into ncurses/tinfo, and trace-support
8201	  functions into ncurses/trace as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's
8202	  proposed changes to ncurses library.
8203	+ modify generated term.h to always specify its own definitions for
8204	  HAVE_TERMIOS_H, etc., to guard against inclusion by programs with
8205	  broken configure scripts.
8206
8207981031
8208	+ modify terminfo parsing to accept octal and hexadecimal constants,
8209	  like Solaris.
8210	+ remove an autoconf 2.10 artifact from the configure script's check
8211	  for "-g" compiler options.  (Though harmless, this confused someone
8212	  at Debian, who recently issued a patch that results in the opposite
8213	  effect).
8214	+ add configure option --with-ada-compiler to accommodate installations
8215	  that do not use gcc as the driver for GNAT (patch by Juergen
8216	  Pfeifer).
8217
8218981017
8219	+ ensure ./man exists in configure script, needed when configuring
8220	  with --srcdir option.
8221	+ modify infocmp "-r" option to remove limit on formatted termcap
8222	  output, which makes it more like Solaris' version.
8223	+ modify captoinfo to treat no-argument case more like Solaris'
8224	  version, which uses the contents of $TERMCAP as the entry to format.
8225	+ modify mk-2nd.awk to handle subdirectories, e.g., ncurses/tty
8226	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
8227
8228981010
8229	+ modify --with-terminfo-dirs option so that the default value is the
8230	  ${datadir} value, unless $TERMINFO_DIRS is already set.  This gets
8231	  rid of a hardcoded list of candidate directories in the configure
8232	  script.
8233	+ add some error-checking to _nc_read_file_entry() to ensure that
8234	  strings are properly terminated (Todd C Miller).
8235	+ rename manpage file curs_scr_dmp.3x to curs_scr_dump.3x, to
8236	  correspond with contents (reported by Neil Zanella
8237	  <nzanella@cs.mun.ca>).
8238	+ remove redundant configure check for C++ which did not work when $CXX
8239	  was specified with a full pathname (reported by Andreas Jaeger).
8240	+ corrected bcopy/memmove check; the macro was not standalone.
8241
8242981003
8243	+ remove unnecessary portion of OS/2 EMX mouse change from
8244	  check_pending() (reported by Alexander V Lukyanov).
8245
8246980926
8247	+ implement mouse support for OS/2 EMX (adapted from patch against
8248	  4.2(?) by Ilya Zakharevich).
8249	+ add configure-check for bcopy/memmove, for 980919 changes to hashmap.
8250	+ merge Data General terminfo from Hasufin <hasufin@vidnet.net> - TD
8251	+ merge AIX 3.2.5 terminfo descriptions for IBM terminals, replaces
8252	  some older entries - TD
8253	+ modify tic to compile into %'char' form in preference to %{number},
8254	  since that is a little more efficient.
8255	+ minor correction to infocmp to avoid displaying "difference" between
8256	  two capabilities that are rendered in equivalent forms.
8257	+ add "-g" option to tic/infocmp to force character constants to be
8258	  displayed in quoted form.  Otherwise their decimal values are shown.
8259	+ modify setupterm so that cancelled strings are treated the same as
8260	  absent strings, cancelled and absent booleans false (does not affect
8261	  tic, infocmp).
8262	+ modify tic, infocmp to discard redundant i3, r3 strings when output
8263	  to termcap format.
8264	> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
8265	+ improve performance of tparm, now it takes 19% instead of 25% when
8266	  profiling worm.
8267	+ rename maxlen/minlen to prec/width for better readability.
8268	+ use format string for printing strings.
8269	+ use len argument correctly in save_text, and pass it to save_number.
8270
8271980919
8272	+ make test_progs compile (but hashmap does not function).
8273	+ correct NC_BUFFERED macro, used in lib_mvcur test-driver, modify
8274	  associated logic to avoid freeing the SP->_setbuf data.
8275	+ add modules home_terminfo and getenv_num to libtinfo.
8276	+ move write_entry to libtinfo, to work with termcap caching.
8277	+ minor fixes to blue.c to build with atac.
8278	+ remove softscroll.c module; no longer needed for testing.
8279	> patches by Todd C Miller:
8280	+ use strtol(3) instead of atoi(3) when parsing env variables so we can
8281	  detect a bogus (non-numeric) value.
8282	+ check for terminal names > MAX_NAME_SIZE in a few more places when
8283	  dealing with env variables again.
8284	+ fix a MAX_NAME_SIZE that should be MAX_NAME_SIZE+1
8285	+ use sizeof instead of strlen(3) on PRIVATE_INFO since it is a fixed
8286	  string #define (compile time vs runtime).
8287	+ when setting errno to ENOMEM, set it right before the return, not
8288	  before code that could, possibly, set errno to a different value.
8289	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
8290	+ use default background in update_cost_from_blank()
8291	+ disable scroll-hints when hashmap is configured.
8292	+ improve integration of hashmap scrolling code, by adding oldhash and
8293	  newhash data to SP struct.
8294	+ invoke del_curterm from delscreen.
8295	+ modify del_curterm to set cur_term to null if it matches the
8296	  function's parameter which is deleted.
8297	+ modify lib_doupdate to prefer parm_ich to the enter_insert_mode and
8298	  exit_insert_mode combination, adjusting InsCharCost to check
8299	  enter_insert_mode, exit_insert_mode and insert_padding.  Add
8300	  insert_padding in insert mode after each char.  This adds new costs
8301	  to the SP struct.
8302
8303980912
8304	+ modify test-driver in lib_mvcur.s to use _nc_setbuffer, for
8305	  consistent treatment.
8306	+ modify ncurses to restore output to unbuffered on endwin, and resume
8307	  buffering in refresh (see lib_set_term.c and NC_BUFFERED macro).
8308	+ corrected HTML version numbers (according to the W3C validator, they
8309	  never were HTML 2.0-compliant, but are acceptable 3.0).
8310
8311980905
8312	+ modify MKterminfo.sh to generate terminfo.5 with tables sorted by
8313	  capability name, as in SVr4.
8314	+ modified term.h, termcap.h headers to avoid redundant declarations.
8315	+ change 'u_int' type in tset.c to unsigned, making this compile on
8316	  Sequent PRX 4.1 (reported by Michael Sterrett <msterret@coat.com>).
8317
8318980829
8319	+ corrections to mailing addresses, and moving the magic line that
8320	  causes the man program to invoke tbl to the first line of each
8321	  manpage (patch by Rick Ohnemus <rick@ecompcon.com>).
8322	+ add Makefile.os2 and supporting scripts to generate dll's on OS/2 EMX
8323	  (from J.J.G.Ripoll, with further integration by TD).
8324	+ correct a typo in icl6404 terminfo entry.
8325	+ add xtermm and xtermc terminfo entries.
8326	> from esr's terminfo version:
8327	+ Added Francesco Potorti's tuned Wyse 99 entries.
8328	+ dtterm enacs (from Alexander V Lukyanov).
8329	+ Add ncsa-ns, ncsa-m-ns and ncsa-m entries from esr version.
8330
8331980822
8332	+ document AT&T acs characters in terminfo.5 manpage.
8333	+ use EMX _scrsize() function if terminfo and environment do not
8334	  declare the screen size (reported by Ilya Zakharevich
8335	  <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>).
8336	+ remove spurious '\' characters from eterm and osborne terminfo
8337	  entries (prompted by an old Debian bug report).
8338	+ correct reversed malloc/realloc calls in _nc_doalloc (reported by
8339	  Hans-Joachim Widmaier <hjwidmai@foxboro.com>).
8340	+ correct misplaced parenthesis which caused file-descriptor from
8341	  opening termcap to be lost, from 980725 changes (reported by Andreas
8342	  Jaeger).
8343
8344980815
8345	+ modify lib_setup.c to eliminate unneeded include of <sys/ioctl.h>
8346	  when termios is not used (patch by Todd C Miller).
8347	+ add function _nc_doalloc, to ensure that failed realloc calls do not
8348	  leak memory (reported by Todd C Miller).
8349	+ improved ncsa-telnet terminfo entry.
8350
8351980809
8352	+ correct missing braces around a trace statement in read_entry.c,
8353	  from 980808 (reported by Kim DeVaughn <kimdv@best.com> and Liviu
8354	  Daia).
8355
8356980808
8357	+ fix missing include <errno.h> in ditto.c (reported by Bernhard
8358	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@k5.sucks.eu.org>)
8359	+ add NCSA telnet terminfo entries from Francesco Potorti
8360	  <F.Potorti@cnuce.cnr.it>, from Debian bug reports.
8361	+ make handling of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables more compatible with
8362	  Solaris by allowing them to individually override the window size
8363	  as obtained via ioctl.
8364
8365980801
8366	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to allow for terminal types (e.g., xterm-color)
8367	  which may reset all attributes in the 'op' capability, so that colors
8368	  are set before turning on bold and other attributes, but still after
8369	  turning attributes off.
8370	+ add 'ditto.c' to test directory to illustrate use of newterm for
8371	  initializing multiple screens.
8372	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to recover from failed attempt to link alias
8373	  for a terminfo on a filesystem which does not preserve character case
8374	  (reported by Peter L Jordan <PJordan@chla.usc.edu>).
8375
8376980725
8377	+ updated versions of config.guess and config.sub based on automake 1.3
8378	+ change name-comparisons in lib_termcap to compare no more than 2
8379	  characters (gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8, verified
8380	  with Solaris curses).
8381	+ fix typo in curs_insstr.3x (patch by Todd C Miller)
8382	+ use 'access()' to check if ncurses library should be permitted to
8383	  open or modify files with fopen/open/link/unlink/remove calls, in
8384	  case the calling application is running in setuid mode (request by
8385	  Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>, responding to Duncan Simpson
8386	  <dps@io.stargate.co.uk>).
8387	+ arm100 terminfo entries from Dave Millen <dmill@globalnet.co.uk>).
8388	+ qnxt2 and minitel terminfo entries from esr's version.
8389
8390980718
8391	+ use -R option with ldconfig on FreeBSD because otherwise it resets
8392	  the search path to /usr/lib (reported by Dan Nelson).
8393	+ add -soname option when building shared libraries on OpenBSD 2.x
8394	  (request by QingLong).
8395	+ add configure options --with-manpage-format and
8396	  --with-manpage-renames (request by QingLong).
8397	+ correct conversion of CANCELLED_NUMERIC in write_object(), which was
8398	  omitting the high-order byte, producing a 254 in the compiled
8399	  terminfo.
8400	+ modify return-values of tgetflag, tgetnum, tgetstr, tigetflag,
8401	  tigetnum and tigetstr to be compatible with Solaris (gleaned from
8402	  Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8).
8403	+ modify _nc_syserr_abort to abort only when compiled for debugging,
8404	  otherwise simply exit with an error.
8405
8406980711
8407	+ modify Ada95 'gen' program to use appropriate library suffix (e.g.,
8408	  "_g" for a debug build).
8409	+ update Ada95 'make clean' rule to include generics .ali files
8410	+ add a configure test to ensure that if GNAT is found, that it can
8411	  compile/link working Ada95 program.
8412	+ flush output in beep and flash functions, fixing a problem with
8413	  getstr (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov)
8414	+ fix egcs 1.0.2 warning for etip.h (patch by Chris Johns).
8415	+ correct ifdef/brace nesting in lib_sprintf.c (patch by Bernhard
8416	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@Pool.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE>).
8417	+ correct typo in wattr_get macro from 980509 fixes (patch by Dan
8418	  Nelson).
8419
8420980704
8421	+ merge changes from current XFree86 xterm terminfo descriptions.
8422	+ add configure option '--without-ada'.
8423	+ add a smart-default for termcap 'ac' to terminfo 'acs_chars' which
8424	  corresponds to vt100.
8425	+ change translation for termcap 'rs' to terminfo 'rs2', which is
8426	  the documented equivalent, rather than 'rs1'.
8427
8428980627
8429	+ slow 'worm' down a little, for very fast machines.
8430	+ corrected firstchar/lastchar computation in lib_hline.c
8431	+ simplify some expressions with CHANGED_CELL, CHANGED_RANGE and
8432	  CHANGED_TO_EOL macros.
8433	+ modify init_pair so that if a color-pair is reinitialized, we will
8434	  repaint the areas of the screen whose color changes, like SVr4 curses
8435	  (reported by Christian Maurer <maurer@inf.fu-berlin.de>).
8436	+ modify getsyx/setsyx macros to comply with SVr4 man-page which
8437	  says that leaveok() affects their behavior (report by Darryl Miles,
8438	  patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
8439
8440980620
8441	+ review terminfo.5 against Solaris 2.6 curses version, corrected
8442	  several minor errors/omissions.
8443	+ implement tparm %l format.
8444	+ implement tparm printf-style width and precision for %s, %d, %x, %o
8445	  as per XSI.
8446	+ implement tparm dynamic variables (reported by Xiaodan Tang).
8447
8448980613
8449	+ update man-page for for wattr_set, wattr_get (cf:  980509)
8450	+ correct limits in hashtest, which would cause nonprinting characters
8451	  to be written to large screens.
8452	+ correct configure script, when --without-cxx was specified:  the
8453	  wrong variable was used for cf_cv_type_of_bool.  Compilers up to gcc
8454	  2.8 tolerated the missing 'int'.
8455	+ remove the hardcoded name "gcc" for the GNU Ada compiler.  The
8456	  compiler's name might be something like "egcs" (patch by Juergen
8457	  Pfeifer).
8458	+ correct curs_addch.3x, which implied that echochar could directly
8459	  display control characters (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
8460	+ fix typos in ncurses-intro.html (patch by Sidik Isani
8461	  <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
8462
8463980606
8464	+ add configure test for conflicting use of exception in math.h and
8465	  other headers.
8466	+ minor optimization to 'hash()' function in hashmap.c, reduces its
8467	  time by 10%.
8468	+ correct form of LD_SHARED_OPTS for HP-UX 10.x (patch by Tim Mooney).
8469	+ fix missing quotes for 'print' in MKunctrl.awk script (reported by
8470	  Mihai Budiu <mihaib@gs41.sp.cs.cmu.edu>).
8471	> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
8472	+ correct problem on Solaris (with poll() function) where getch could
8473	  hang indefinitely even if timeout(x) was called.  This turned out to
8474	  be because milliseconds was not updated before 'goto retry' in
8475	  _nc_timed_wait.
8476	+ simplified the function _nc_timed_wait and fixed another bug, which
8477	  was the assumption of !GOOD_SELECT && HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY in *timeleft
8478	  assignment.
8479	+ removed the cycle on EINTR, as it seems to be useless.
8480
8481980530
8482	+ add makefile-rule for test/keynames
8483	+ modify run_tic.sh and shlib to ensure that user's .profile does not
8484	  override the $PATH used to run tic (patch by Tim Mooney).
8485	+ restore LD_SHARED_OPTS to $(LD_SHARED_FLAGS) when linking programs,
8486	  needed for HP-UX shared-library path (recommended by Tim Mooney).
8487	+ remove special case of HP-UX -L options, use +b options to embed
8488	  $(libdir) in the shared libraries (recommended by Tim Mooney).
8489	+ add checks for some possible buffer overflows and unchecked
8490	  malloc/realloc/calloc/strdup return values (patch by Todd C Miller
8491	  <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com>)
8492
8493980523
8494	+ correct maxx/maxy expression for num_columns/num_lines in derwin
8495	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
8496	+ add /usr/share/lib/terminfo and /usr/lib/terminfo as compatibilty
8497	  fallbacks to _nc_read_entry(), along with --with-terminfo-dirs
8498	  configure option (suggested by Mike Hopkirk).
8499	+ modify config.guess to recognize Unixware 2.1 and 7 (patch by Mike
8500	  Hopkirk <hops@sco.com>).
8501	+ suppress definition of CC_SHARED_OPTS in LDFLAGS_SHARED in c++
8502	  Makefile.in, since this conflicts when g++ is used with HP-UX
8503	  compiler (reported by Tim Mooney).
8504	+ parenthesize 'strcpy' calls in c++ binding to workaround redefinition
8505	  in some C++ implementations (reported by several people running
8506	  egcs with glibc 2.0.93, analysis by Andreas Jaeger.
8507
8508980516
8509	+ modify write_entry.c so that it will not attempt to link aliases
8510	  with embedded '/', but give only a warning.
8511	+ put -L$(libdir) first when linking programs, except for HP-UX.
8512	+ modify comp_scan.c to handle SVr4 terminfo description for att477,
8513	  which contains a colon in the description field.
8514	+ modify configure script to support SCO osr5.0.5 shared libraries,
8515	  from comp.unix.sco.programmer newsgroup item (Mike Hopkirk).
8516	+ eliminate extra GoTo call in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
8517	  Lukyanov).
8518	+ minor adjustments of const/NCURSES_CONST from IRIX compile.
8519	+ add updates based on esr's 980509 version of terminfo.src.
8520
8521980509
8522	+ correct macros for wattr_set, wattr_get, separate wattrset macro from
8523	  these to preserve behavior that allows attributes to be combined with
8524	  color pair numbers.
8525	+ add configure option --enable-no-padding, to allow environment
8526	  variable $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to eliminate non-mandatory padding,
8527	  thereby making terminal emulators (e.g., for vt100) a little more
8528	  efficient (request by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
8529	+ modify configure script to embed ABI in shared libraries for HP-UX
8530	  10.x (detailed request by Tim Mooney).
8531	+ add test/example of the 'filter()' function.
8532	+ add nxterm and xterm-color terminfo description (request by Cristian
8533	  Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>).
8534	+ modify rxvt terminfo description to clear alternate screen before
8535	  switching back to normal screen, for compatibility with applications
8536	  which use xterm (reported by Manoj Kasichainula <manojk@io.com>).
8537	+ modify linux terminfo description to reset color palette (reported
8538	  by Telford Tendys <telford@eng.uts.edu.au>).
8539	+ correction to doupdate, for case where terminal does not support
8540	  insert/delete character.  The logic did not check that there was a
8541	  difference in alignment of changes to old/new screens before
8542	  repainting the whole non-blank portion of the line.  Modified to fall
8543	  through into logic that reduces by the portion which does not differ
8544	  (reported by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
8545	+ minor performance improvement to wnoutrefresh by moving some
8546	  comparisons out of inner loop.
8547
8548980425
8549	+ modify configure script to substitute NCURSES_CONST in curses.h
8550	+ updated terminfo entries for xterm-xf86-v40, xterm-16color,
8551	  xterm-8bit to correspond to XFree86 3.9Ag.
8552	+ remove restriction that forces ncurses to use setaf/setab if the
8553	  number of colors is greater than 8.  (see 970524 for xterm-16color).
8554	+ change order of -L options (so that $(libdir) is searched first) when
8555	  linking tic and other programs, to workaround HP's linker.
8556	  Otherwise, the -L../lib is embedded when linking against shared
8557	  libraries and the installed program does not run (reported by Ralf
8558	  Hildebrandt).
8559	+ modify configuration of shared libraries on Digital Unix so that
8560	  versioning is embedded in the library, rather than implied by
8561	  links (patch by Tim Mooney).
8562
8563980418
8564	+ modify etip.h to avoid conflict with math.h on HP-UX 9.03 with gcc
8565	  2.8.1 which redefines 'exception' (reported by Ralf Hildebrandt
8566	  <R.Hildebrandt@tu-bs.de>).
8567	+ correct configure tests in CF_SHARED_OPTS which used $CC value to
8568	  check for gcc, rather than autoconf's $GCC value.  This did not
8569	  work properly if the full pathname of the compiler were given
8570	  (reported by Michael Yount <yount@csf.Colorado.edu>).
8571	+ revise check for compiler options to force ANSI mode since repeating
8572	  an option such as -Aa causes HP's compiler to fail on its own headers
8573	  (reported by Clint Olsen <olsenc@ichips.intel.com>).
8574
8575980411
8576	+ ifdef'd has_key() and mcprint() as extended functions.
8577	+ modified several prototypes to correspond with 1997 version of
8578	  X/Open Curses (affects ABI since developers have used attr_get).
8579	+ remove spurious trailing blanks in glibc addon-scripts (patch by
8580	  H.J.Lu).
8581	+ insert a few braces at locations where gcc-2.8.x asks to use them to
8582	  avoid ambigous else's, use -fpic rather than -fPIC for Linux (patch
8583	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
8584
8585980404
8586	+ split SHLIB_LIST into SHLIB_DIRS/SHLIB_LIST to keep -L options
8587	  before -l to accommodate Solaris' linker (reported by Larry Virden).
8588
8589980328
8590	+ modify lib_color.c to eliminate dependency on orig_colors and
8591	  orig_pair, since SVr4 curses does not require these either, but
8592	  uses them when they are available.
8593	+ add detailed usage-message to infocmp.
8594	+ correct a typo in att6386 entry (a "%?" which was "?").
8595	+ add -f option to infocmp and tic, which formats the terminfo
8596	  if/then/else/endif so that they are readable (with newlines and
8597	  tabs).
8598	+ fixes for glibc addon scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
8599
8600980321
8601	+ revise configure macro CF_SPEED_TYPE so that termcap.h has speed_t
8602	  declared (from Adam J Richter <adam@yggdrasil.com>)
8603	+ remove spurious curs_set() call from leaveok() (J T Conklin).
8604	+ corrected handling leaveok() in doupdate() (patch by Alexander V.
8605	  Lukyanov).
8606	+ improved version of wredrawln (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
8607	+ correct c++/Makefile.in so install target do not have embedded ../lib
8608	  to confuse it (patch by Thomas Graf <graf@essi.fr>).
8609	+ add warning to preinstall rule which checks if the installer would
8610	  overwrite a curses.h or termcap.h that is not derived from ncurses.
8611	  (The recommended configuration for developers who need both is to
8612	  use --disable-overwrite).
8613	+ modify preinstall rule in top-level Makefile to avoid implicit
8614	  use of 'sh', to accommodate Ultrix 4.4 (reported by Joao Palhoto
8615	  Matos <jmatos@math.ist.utl.pt>, patch by Thomas Esser
8616	  <te@informatik.uni-hannover.de>)
8617	+ refine ifdef's for TRACE so that libncurses has fewer dependencies
8618	  on libtinfo when TRACE is disabled.
8619	+ modify configure script so that if the --with-termlib option is used
8620	  to generate a separate terminfo library, we chain it to the ncurses
8621	  library with a "-l" option (reported by Darryl Miles and Ian T.
8622	  Zimmerman).
8623
8624980314
8625	+ correct limits and window in wredrawln function (reported/analysis by
8626	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
8627	+ correct sed expression in configure script for --with-fallback
8628	  option (patch by Jesse Thilo).
8629	+ correct some places in configure script where $enableval was used
8630	  rather than $withval (patch by Darryl Miles <dlm@g7led.demon.co.uk>).
8631	+ modify some man-pages so no '.' or '..' falls between TH and SH
8632	  macros, to accommodate man_db program (reported by Ian T. Zimmerman
8633	  <itz@rahul.net>).
8634	+ terminfo.src 10.2.1 downloaded from ESR's webpage (ESR).
8635	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
8636	+ add copyright notices (and rcs id's) on remaining man-pages.
8637	+ corrected prototypes for slk_* functions, using chtype rather than
8638	  attr_t.
8639	+ implemented the wcolor_set() and slk_color() functions
8640	+ the slk_attr_{set,off,on} functions need an additional void*
8641	  parameter according to XSI.
8642	+ fix the C++ and Ada95 binding as well as the man pages to
8643	  reflect above enhancements.
8644
8645980307
8646	+ use 'stat()' rather than 'access()' in toe.c to check for the
8647	  existence of $HOME/.terminfo, since it may be a file.
8648	+ suppress configure CF_CXX_LIBRARY check if we are not using g++
8649	  2.7.x, since this is not needed with g++ 2.8 or egcs (patch by
8650	  Juergen Pfeifer).
8651	+ turn on hashmap scrolling code by default, intend to remedy defects
8652	  by 4.3 release.
8653	+ minor corrections to terminfo.src changelog.
8654
8655980302	4.2 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
8656	+ correct Florian's email address in ncurses-intro.html
8657	+ terminfo.src 10.2.0 (ESR).
8658
8659980228	pre-release
8660	+ add linux-koi8r replace linux-koi8, which is not KOI8 (patch by
8661	  QingLong <qinglong@Bolizm.ihep.su>).
8662	+ minor documentation fixes (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
8663	+ add setlocale() call to ncurses.c (reported by Claes G. Lindblad
8664	  <claesg@algonet.se>).
8665	+ correct sign-extension in lib_insstr.c (reported by Sotiris
8666	  Vassilopoulos <svas@leon.nrcps.ariadne-t.gr>)
8667
8668980221	pre-release
8669	+ regenerated some documentation overlooked in 980214 patch
8670	  (ncurses-intro.doc, curs_outopts.3x.html)
8671	+ minor ifdef change to C++ binding to work with gcc 2.8.0 (patch by
8672	  Juergen Pfeifer).
8673	+ change maintainer's mailing address to florian@gnu.org, change
8674	  tentative mailing list address to bug-ncurses-request@gnu.org (patch
8675	  by Florian La Roche).
8676	+ add definition of $(REL_VERSION) to c++/Makefile.in (reported by Gran
8677	  Hasse <gh@raditex.se>).
8678	+ restore version numbers to Ada95 binding, accidentally deleted by
8679	  copyright patch (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
8680
8681980214	pre-release
8682	+ remove ncurses.lsm from MANIFEST so that it won't be used in FSF
8683	  distributions, though it is retained in development.
8684	+ correct scaling of milliseconds to nanoseconds in lib_napms.c (patch
8685	  by Jeremy Buhler).
8686	+ update mailing-list information (bug-ncurses@gnu.org).
8687	+ update announcement for upcoming 4.2 release.
8688	+ modify -lm test to check for 'sin()' rather than 'floor()'
8689	+ remove spurious commas from terminfo.src descriptions.
8690	+ change copyright notices to Free Software Foundation
8691
8692980207
8693	+ minor fixes for autoconf macros CF_ERRNO, CF_HELP_MESSAGE and
8694	  CF_SIZECHANGE
8695	+ modify Makefile.glibc so that $(objpfx) is defined (H.J.Lu).
8696	+ ifdef-out true-return from _nc_mouse_inline() which depends on
8697	  merge of QNX patch (pending 4.2 release).
8698	> patch to split off seldom-used modules in ncurses (J T Conklin):
8699	  This reduces size by up to 2.6kb.
8700	+ move functionality of _nc_usleep into napms, add configuration case
8701	  for nanosleep().
8702	+ moved wchgat() from lib_addch.c to lib_chgat.c
8703	+ moved clearok(), immedok(), leaveok(), and scrollok() from
8704	  lib_options.c to lib_clearok.c, lib_immedok.c, lib_leaveok.c and
8705	  lib_scrollok.c.
8706	+ moved napms() from lib_kernel.c to lib_napms.c
8707	+ moved echo() and noecho() from lib_raw.c to lib_echo.c
8708	+ moved nl() and nonl() from lib_raw.c to lib_nl.c
8709
8710980131
8711	+ corrected conversion in tclock.c (cf: 971018).
8712	+ updates to Makefile.glibc and associated Linux configure script
8713	  (patch by H.J.Lu).
8714	+ workaround a quoting problem on SunOS with tar-copy.sh
8715	+ correct init_pair() calls in worm.c to work when use_default_colors()
8716	  is not available.
8717	+ include <sys/types.h> in CF_SYS_TIME_SELECT to work with FreeBSD
8718	  2.1.5
8719	+ add ncv capability to FreeBSD console (cons25w), making reverse
8720	  work with color.
8721	+ correct sense of configure-test for sys/time.h inclusion with
8722	  sys/select.h
8723	+ fixes for Ada95/ada_include/Makefile.in to work with --srcdir option.
8724	+ remove unused/obsolete test-program rules from progs/Makefile.in
8725	  (the rules in ncurses/Makefile.in work).
8726	+ remove shared-library loader flags from test/Makefile.in, etc.
8727	+ simplify test/configure.in using new version of autoconf to create
8728	  test/ncurses_cfg.h
8729	+ suppress suffix rules in test/Makefile.in, provide explicit
8730	  dependency to work with --srcdir option and less capable 'make'
8731	  programs.
8732	> adapted from patch for QNX by Xiaodan Tang:
8733	+ initialize %P and %g variables set/used in tparm, and also ensure
8734	  that empty strings don't return a null result from tparam_internal
8735	+ add QNX-specific prototype for vsscanf()
8736	+ move initialization of SP->_keytry from init_keytry() to newterm() to
8737	  avoid resetting it via a keyok() call by mouse_activate().
8738	+ reorganized some functions in lib_mouse() to use case-statements.
8739	+ remove sgr string from qnx terminfo entry since it is reported to
8740	  turn off attributes inconsistently.
8741
8742980124
8743	+ add f/F/b/B commands to ncurses 'b' test to toggle colors, providing
8744	  test for no_color_video.
8745	+ adjusted emx.src to use no_color_video, now works with ncurses 'b'
8746	  and 'k' tests.
8747	+ implement no_color_video attribute, and as a special case, reverse
8748	  colors when the reverse attribute cannot be combined with color.
8749	+ check for empty string in $TERM variable (reported by Brett Michaels
8750	  <brett@xylan.com>).
8751	> from reports by Fred Fish:
8752	+ add configure-test for isascii
8753	+ add configure-test for -lm library.
8754	+ modify CF_BOOL_SIZE to check if C++ bool types are unsigned.
8755	> patches by J.J.G.Ripoll
8756	+ add configure/makefile variables to support .exe extension on
8757	  OS/2 EMX (requires additional autoconf patches).
8758	+ explicitly initialize variables in lib_data.c to appease OS/2 linker
8759	> patches by Fred Fish <fnf@ninemoons.com>
8760	+ misc/Makefile.in (install.data):  Avoid trying to install the CVS
8761	  directory.
8762	+ aclocal.m4 (install.includes):  Remove files in the include directory
8763	  where we are going to install new ones, not the original source
8764	  files.
8765	+ misc/terminfo.src:  Add entry for "beterm", derived from termcap
8766	  distributed with BeOS PR2 using captoinfo.
8767	+ aclocal.m4: Wrap $cf_cv_type_of_bool with quotes (contains space)
8768	+ aclocal.m4: Assume bool types are unsigned.
8769	+ progs/infocmp.c: workaround mwcc 32k function data limit
8770
8771980117
8772	+ correct initialization of color-pair (cf: 970524) in xmas.c, which
8773	  was using only one color-pair for all colors (reported by
8774	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
8775	+ add multithread options for objects build on EMX, for compatibility
8776	  with XFree86.
8777	+ split up an expression in MKlib_gen.sh to work around a problem on
8778	  OS/2 EMX, with 'ash' (patch by J.J.G.Ripoll).
8779	+ change terminfo entries xterm (xterm-xf86-v40), xterm-8bit rs1 to use
8780	  hard reset.
8781	+ rename terminfo entry xterm-xf86-v39t to xterm-xf86-v40
8782	+ remove bold/underline from sun console entries since they're not
8783	  implemented.
8784	+ correct _tracef calls in _tracedump(), which did not separate format
8785	  from parameters.
8786	+ correct getopt string for tic "-o" option, and add it to man-page
8787	  synopsis (reported by Darren Hiebert <darren@hmi.com>).
8788	+ correct typo in panel/Makefile.in, reversed if-statement in scrolling
8789	  optimization (Alexander V.  Lukyanov).
8790	+ test for 'remove()', use 'unlink() if not found (patch by Philippe De
8791	  Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>).
8792	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
8793	+ Improve a feature of the forms driver.  For invisible fields
8794	  (O_VISIBLE off) only the contents but not the attributes are cleared.
8795	  We now clear both.  (Reported by Javier Kohan
8796	  <jkohan@adan.fceia.unr.edu.ar>)
8797	+ The man page form_field_opts.3x makes now clear, that invisible
8798	  fields are also always inactive.
8799	+ adjust ifdef's to compile the C++ binding with the just released
8800	  gcc-2.8.0 c++ and the corresponding new C++ libraries.
8801
8802980110
8803	+ correct "?" command in ncurses.c; it was performing non-screen writes
8804	  while the program was in screen mode.  (It "worked" in 1.9.9e because
8805	  that version sets OPOST and OCRNL incorrectly).
8806	+ return error from functions in lib_kernel, lib_raw and lib_ti if
8807	  cur_term is null, or if underlying I/O fails.
8808	+ amend change to tputs() so that it does not return an error if
8809	  cur_term is null, since some applications depend on being able to use
8810	  tputs without initializing the terminal (reported by Christian J.
8811	  Robinson <infynity@cyberhighway.net>).
8812
8813980103
8814	+ add a copy of emx.src from J.J.G.Ripoll's OS/2 EMX version of ncurses
8815	  1.9.9e, together with fixes/additions for the "ansi" terminal type.
8816	+ add tic check for save/restore cursor if change_scroll_region is
8817	  defined (reference: O'Reilly book).
8818	+ modify read_termcap.c to handle EMX-style pathnames (reported by
8819	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
8820	+ modify lib_raw.c to use EMX's setmode (patch from J.J.G.Ripoll).
8821	  Ripoll says EMX's curses does this.
8822	+ modify _nc_tic_expand() to generate \0 rather than \200.
8823	+ move/revise 'expand()' from dump_entry.c to ncurses library as
8824	  _nc_tic_expand(), for use by tack.
8825	+ decode \a as \007 for terminfo, as per XSI.
8826	+ correct translation of terminfo "^@", to \200, like \0.
8827	+ modify next_char() to treat <cr><lf> the same as <newline>, for
8828	  cross-platform compatibility.
8829	+ use new version of autoconf (971230) to work around limited
8830	  environment on CLIX, due to the way autoconf builds --help message.
8831	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
8832	+ check that the Ada95 binding runs against the correct version of
8833	  ncurses.
8834	+ insert constants about the library version into the main spec-file of
8835	  the Ada95 binding.
8836
8837971227
8838	+ modify open/fopen calls to use binary mode, needed for EMX.
8839	+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.10 mods for OS/2
8840	  EMX (from J.J.G.Ripoll).
8841	+ generated ncurses_cfg.h with patch (971222) to autoconf 2.12 which
8842	  bypasses limited sed buffer length.
8843	> several changes from Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll <worm@arrakis.es>
8844	  (J.J.G.Ripoll) to support OS/2 EMX:
8845	+ add a _scrolling flag to SP, to set when we encounter a terminal
8846	  that simply cannot scroll.
8847	+ corrected logic in _nc_add_to_try(), by ensuring that strings with
8848	  embedded \200 characters are matched.
8849	+ don't assume the host has 'link()' function, for linking terminfo
8850	  entries.
8851
8852971220
8853	+ if there's no ioctl's to support sigwinch handler, disable it.
8854	+ add configure option --disable-ext-funcs to remove the extended
8855	  functions from the build.
8856	+ add configure option --with-termlib to generate the terminfo
8857	  functions as a separate library.
8858	+ add 'sources' rule to facilitate cross-compiling.
8859	+ review/fix order of mostlyclean/clean/distclean rules.
8860	+ modify install-rule for headers to first remove old header, in
8861	  case there was a symbolic link that confuses the install script.
8862	+ corrected substitution for NCURSES_CONST in term.h (cf: 971108)
8863	+ add null pointer checks in wnoutrefresh(), overlap() (patch by
8864	  Xiaodan Tang <xtang@qnx.com>)
8865	+ correct tputs(), which could dereference a null cur_term if invoked
8866	  before terminal is initialized (patch by Christopher Seawood
8867	  <cls@seawood.org>)
8868	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
8869	+ makes better use of "pragma Inline" in the Ada95 binding
8870	+ resynchronizes the generated html manpages
8871
8872971213
8873	+ additional fixes for man-pages section-references
8874	+ add (for debugging) a check for ich/ich1 conflict with smir/rmir
8875	  to tic, etc.
8876	+ remove hpa/vpa from rxvt terminal description because they are not
8877	  implemented correctly, added sgr0.
8878	+ change ncurses 's' to use raw mode, so ^Q works (reported by Rudolf
8879	  Leitgeb <leitgeb@leland.stanford.edu>)
8880
8881971206
8882	+ modify protection when installing libraries to (normally) not
8883	  executable.  HP-UX shared libraries are an exception.
8884	+ add configure check for 'tack'.
8885	+ implement script for renaming section-references in man-page install,
8886	  for Debian configuration.
8887	+ add validity-check for SP in trace code in baudrate() (reported by
8888	  Daniel Weaver).
8889	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov (fixes to match sol25 curses)
8890	+ modify 'overlay()' so that copy applies target window background to
8891	  characters.
8892	+ correct 'mvwin()' so that it does not clear the previous locations.
8893	+ correct lib_acs.c so that 8-bit character is not sign expanded in
8894	  case of wide characters in chtype.
8895	+ correct control-char test in lib_addch.c for use with wide chars
8896	+ use attribute in the chtype when adding a control character in
8897	  lib_addch.c control char was added with current attribute
8898
8899971129
8900	+ save/restore errno in _tracef() function
8901	+ change treatment of initialize_color to use a range of 0..1000
8902	  (recommended by Daniel Weaver).
8903	+ set umask in mkinstalldirs, fixing problems reported by users who
8904	  have set root's umask to 077.
8905	+ correct bug in tic that caused capabilities to be reprinted at the
8906	  end of output when they had embedded comments.
8907	+ rewrote wredrawln to correspond to XSI, and split-out since it is
8908	  not often used (from report by Alexander V. Lukyanov, 970825)
8909	+ rewrote Dan Nelson's change to make it portable, as well as to
8910	  correct logic for handling backslashes.
8911	+ add code to _nc_tgetent() to make it work more like a real tgetent().
8912	  It removes all empty fields, and removes all but the first in a group
8913	  of duplicate caps.  The code was pulled from the BSD libtermcap code
8914	  in termcap.c (patch by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>
8915	+ don't include --enable-widec in the --with-develop configure option,
8916	  since it is not binary-compatible with 4.1 (noted by Alexander V.
8917	  Lukyanov)
8918	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
8919	+ further improvements of the usage of elaboration pragmas in the Ada95
8920	  binding
8921	+ enhanced Ada95 sample to use the user_data mechanism for panels.
8922	+ a fix for the configuration script to make gnat-3.10 the required

8924	+ resync of the html version of the manpages
8925
8926971122
8927	> fixes/updates for terminfo.src:
8928	+ add vt220-js, pilot, rbcomm, datapoint entries from esr's 27-jun-97
8929	  version.
8930	+ add hds200 description (Walter Skorski)
8931	+ add EMX 0.9b descriptions
8932	+ correct rmso/smso capabilities in wy30-mc and wy50-mc (Daniel Weaver)
8933	+ rename xhpterm back to hpterm.
8934	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
8935	+ Improves the usage of elaboration pragmas for the Ada95 binding.
8936	+ Adds a translation of the test/rain.c into Ada95 to the samples.
8937	  This has been contributed to the project by Laurent Pautet
8938	  (pautet@gnat.com)
8939
8940971115
8941	+ increase MAX_NAME_SIZE to 512 to handle extremely long alias list
8942	  in HP-UX terminfo.
8943	+ correction & simplification of delay computation in tputs, based on
8944	  comments from Daniel Weaver.
8945	+ replace test for SCO with more precise header tests.
8946	+ add configure test for unsigned literals, use in NCURSES_BITS macro.
8947	+ comment-out the -PIC, etc., flags from c++, progs and test makefiles
8948	  since they probably are not needed, and are less efficient (noted by
8949	  Juergen Fluk)
8950	+ add -L$(libdir) to loader options, after -L../lib so that loaders
8951	  that record this information will tend to do the right thing if
8952	  the programs are moved around after installing them (suggested by
8953	  Juergen Fluk).
8954	+ add -R option to loader options for programs for Solaris if the
8955	  --enable-rpath option is specified for the libraries.
8956
8957971112
8958	+ correct installed filename for shared libraries on *BSD (reported by
8959	  Juergen Fluk).
8960
8961971108
8962	+ cleanup logic for deciding when tputs() should call delay_output(),
8963	  based on comments from Daniel Weaver.
8964	+ modified tputs() to avoid use of float.
8965	+ correct use of trailpad in tputs(), which used the wrong variable
8966	  in call to delay_output().
8967	+ correct inverted expression for null-count in delay_output()
8968	  (analysis by Daniel Weaver).
8969	+ apply --enable-rpath option to Solaris (requested by Larry Virden).
8970	+ correct substitution of EXTRA_CFLAGS for gcc 2.6.3
8971	+ correct check for error-return by _nc_tgetent(), which returns 0
8972	  for success.
8973	+ add configure test for BSD 4.4 cgetent() function, modify
8974	  read_termcap.c to use the host's version of that if found, using the
8975	  terminal database on FreeBSD (reported by Peter Wemm).
8976	+ add u8, u9 strings to sun-il description for Daniel Weaver.
8977	+ use NCURSES_CONST in panel's user-pointer.
8978	+ modify edit_cfg.sh and MKterm.h.awk.in to substitute NCURSES_CONST
8979	  so that will work on NeXT.
8980	+ use _nc_set_screen() rather than assignments to SP to fix port to
8981	  NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
8982
8983971101
8984	+ force mandatory padding in bell and flash_screen, as specified in
8985	  XSI.
8986	+ don't allow padding_baud_rate to override mandatory delays (reported
8987	  by Daniel Weaver).
8988	+ modify delay_output() to use _nc_timed_wait() if no baudrate has been
8989	  defined, or if the cur_term pointer is not initialized.  XSI treats
8990	  this as unspecified.  (requested by Daniel Weaver).
8991	+ change getcap-cache ifdef's to eliminate unnecessary chdir/mkdir
8992	  when that feature is not configured.
8993	+ remove _nc_err_abort() calls when write_entry.c finds a directory but
8994	  cannot write to it, e.g., when translating part/all of /etc/termcap
8995	  (reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>).
8996	  (this dates back to 951102, in 1.9.7a).
8997	+ minor ifdef fixes to compile with atac and glibc 2.0.5c
8998	+ add check for -lgen when configuring regexpr.h
8999	+ modify Solaris shared-library option "-d y" to "-dy" to workaround
9000	  incompatibility of gcc 2.7.2 vs vendor's tools.
9001
9002971026
9003	+ correct ifdef's for struct winsize vs struct ttysize in lib_setup.c
9004	  to compile on SCO.
9005	+ remove dangling backslash in panel/Makefile.in
9006	+ modify MKkeyname.awk to work with SCO's nawk, which dumps core in the
9007	  length() function.
9008	+ correct length of allocation in _nc_add_to_try(), to allow for
9009	  trailing null.
9010	+ correct logic in _nc_remove_key(), which was discarding too many
9011	  nodes (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov)
9012
9013971025
9014	+ add definition for $(REL_VERSION) to test/Makefile.in, so *BSD
9015	  shared libraries link properly (see 970524).
9016	+ modify Linux shared-library generation to include library
9017	  dependencies (e.g., -lncurses and -lgpm) in the forms, menu and
9018	  panel libraries (suggested by Juergen Pfeifer).
9019	+ modify configure script to use config.guess and config.sub rather
9020	  than uname, which is unreliable on some systems.
9021	+ updated Makefile.glibc, test-built with glibc 2.0.5c
9022	+ modify keyname() to return values consistent with SVr4 curses (patch
9023	  by Juergen Fluk).
9024	> changes requested by Daniel Weaver:
9025	+ modify delay_output() so that it uses the same output function as
9026	  tputs() if called from that function.
9027	+ move _baudrate from SCREEN to TERMINAL so that low-level use of
9028	  tputs works when SP is not set.
9029	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
9030	+ factor lib_menu and lib_form into smaller modules
9031	+ clean up the interface between panel and SCREEN
9032	+ minor changes to the Ada95 mouse support implemenation
9033	+ minor bugfix in C++ binding to ripoff windows
9034	+ fix a few Ada95 html documentation pages
9035
9036971018
9037	+ split-out lib_ungetch.c, make runtime link to resizeterm() to
9038	  decouple those modules from lib_restart.c
9039	+ add xterm-xf86-v39t description to terminfo.src
9040	+ reset SP->_endwin in lib_tstp.c cleanup() function after calling
9041	  endwin() to avoid unnecessary repainting if the application has
9042	  established an atexit function, etc.  Encountered this problem in
9043	  the c++ demo, whose destructors repaint the screen.
9044	+ combine _nc_get_screensize() and resizeterm() calls as new function
9045	  _nc_update_screensize().
9046	+ minor fixes to allow compile with g++ (suggested by Nelson H. F.
9047	  Beebe).
9048	+ implement install-rules for Ada95 makefiles.
9049	+ use screen_lines or MAXLINES as needed where LINES was coded,
9050	  as well as screen_columns for COLS, in the ncurses library.
9051	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
9052	+ modify logic for ripped-off lines to handle several SCREENs.
9053	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
9054	+ factors lib_slk.c into some smaller modules
9055	+ factors panel.c into some smaller modules
9056	+ puts the static information about the current panel stack into the
9057	  SCREEN structure to allow different panel stacks on different
9058	  screens.
9059	+ preliminary fix for an error adjusting LINES to account for
9060	  ripped-off lines.
9061
9062971011
9063	+ move _nc_max_click_interval and other mouse interface items to SCREEN
9064	  struct so that they are associated with a single terminal, and also
9065	  save memory when the application does not need a mouse (roughly 3k vs
9066	  0.5k on Linux).
9067	+ modify mouseinterval() so that a negative parameter queries the
9068	  click-interval without modifying it.
9069	+ modify ncurses 'i' test to work with ncurses' apparent extension from
9070	  SVr4, i.e., allows nocbreak+noecho (analysis by Alexander V.
9071	  Lukyanov).
9072	+ add configure options --with-ada-includes and --with-ada-objects,
9073	  to drive Ada95 binding install (not yet implemented).
9074	+ install C++ binding as -lncurses++ and associated headers with the
9075	  other ncurses headers.
9076	+ fix header uninstall if configure --srcdir is used.
9077	> minor interface changes to support 'tack' program -TD
9078	  (request by Daniel Weaver <danw@znyx.com>).
9079	+ export functions _nc_trans_string() and _nc_msec_cost().
9080	+ add variable _nc_nulls_sent, to record the number of padding
9081	  characters output in delay_output().
9082	+ move tests for generic_type and hard_copy terminals in setupterm()
9083	  to the end of that function so that the library will still be
9084	  initialized, though not generally useful for curses programs.
9085	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
9086	+ modify ClrBottom() to avoid using clr_eos if there is only one line
9087	  to erase.
9088	+ typo in configure --help.
9089	> patch by J T Conklin (with minor resync against Juergen's changes)
9090	+ split-out lib_flash.c from lib_beep.c
9091	+ split-out lib_hline.c and lib_vline.c from lib_box.c
9092	+ split-out lib_wattron.c, lib_wattroff.c from lib_addch.c
9093
9094971005
9095	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
9096	+ correct source/target of c++/edit_cfg.sh
9097
9098971004
9099	+ add color, mouse support to kterm terminfo entry.
9100	+ modify lib_mouse.c to recognize rxvt, kterm, color_xterm also as
9101	  providing "xterm"-style mouse.
9102	+ updated rxvt's terminfo description to correspond to 2.21b, with
9103	  fixes for the acsc (the box1 capability is incorrect, ech1 does not
9104	  work).
9105	+ fix logic in parse_entry.c that discarded acsc when 'synthesizing'
9106	  an entry from equivalents in XENIX or AIX.  This lets ncurses handle
9107	  the distribution copy of rxvt's terminfo.
9108	+ modify acsc capability for linux and linux-koi8 terminfo descriptions
9109	  (from Pavel Roskin <pavel@absolute.spb.su>).
9110	+ corrected definition in curses.h for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I'
9111	  rather than 'i' (see 970802).
9112	+ updated terminfo.src with reformatted acsc entries, and repaired the
9113	  trashed entries with spurious '\' characters that this exposed.
9114	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to reformat acsc entries into canonical
9115	  form (sorted, unique mapping).
9116	+ add configure script to generate c++/etip.h
9117	+ add configure --with-develop option, to enable by default most of the
9118	  experimental options (requested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9119	+ rename 'deinstall' to 'uninstall', following GNU convention
9120	  (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9121	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
9122	+ modify tactics 2 and 5 in onscreen_mvcur(), to allow them on the last
9123	  line of the screen, since carriage return will not cause a newline.
9124	+ remove clause from PutCharLR() that would try to use
9125	  eat_newline_glitch since that apparently does not work on some
9126	  terminals (e.g., M$ telnet).
9127	+ correct a limit check in scroll_csr_backward()
9128	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
9129	+ adds dummy implementations of methods above() and below() to the
9130	  NCursesPanel class.
9131	+ fixes missing returncode in NCursesWindow::ripoffline()
9132	+ fixes missing returncode in TestApplication::run() in demo.cc
9133	+ We should at least give a comment in etip.h why it is currently a
9134	  problem to install the C++ binding somewhere
9135	+ makes the WINDOW* argument of wenclose() a const.
9136	+ modifies several of the routines in lib_adabind.c to use a const
9137	  WINDOW* argument.
9138
9139970927
9140	+ add 'deinstall' rules.
9141	+ use explicit assignments in configure --without-progs option to
9142	  work around autoconf bug which doesn't always set $withval.
9143	+ check for ldconfig, don't try to run it if not found.
9144	+ implement simple/unoptimized case in lib_doupdate.c to handle
9145	  display with magic cookie glitch, tested with ncurses.c program.
9146	+ correct missing _tracef in getmouse(), to balance the returnCode
9147	  macro.
9148	+ simplify show_attr() in ncurses.c using termattrs().
9149	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
9150	+ provides missing inlines for mvw[hv]line in cursesw.h of the C++
9151	  binding
9152	+ fixes a typo in a comment of frm_driver.c
9153	+ Enhances Ada95 Makefiles to fulfill the requirement of GNAT-3.10 that
9154	  generics should be compiled.  Proper fixes to the configuration
9155	  scripts are also provided.
9156
9157970920
9158	+ several modifications to the configure script (requested by Ward
9159	  Horner):
9160	  + add configure options --without-progs, to suppress the build of the
9161	    utility programs, e.g., for cross-compiling.
9162	  + add $(HOSTCCFLAGS) and $(HOSTLDFLAGS) symbols to ncurses
9163	    Makefile.in, to simplify setup for cross compiling.
9164	  + add logic in configure script to recognize "--target=vxworks", and
9165	    generate load/install actions for VxWorks objects.
9166	+ move typedef for sigaction_t into SigAction.h to work around problem
9167	  generating lint library.
9168	+ modify fty_regex.c to reflect renaming of ifdef's for regular
9169	  expressions.
9170	+ simplify ifdef in lib_setup.c for TIOCGWINSZ since that symbol may
9171	  reside in <sys/ioctl.h>.
9172	+ merge testcurs.c with version from PDCurses 2.3, clarifying some of
9173	  the more obscure tests, which rely upon color.
9174	+ use macros getbegyx() and getmaxyx() in newdemo.c and testcurs.c
9175	+ modify ncurses.c to use getbegyx() and getmaxyx() macros to cover up
9176	  implementation difference wrt SVr4 curses, allow 's' test to work.
9177	+ add missing endwin() to testscanw.c program (reported by Fausto
9178	  Saporito <fausap@itb.it>).
9179	+ fixes/updates for Makefile.glibc and related files under sysdeps
9180	  (patch by H.J.Lu).

9182	+ add checks for null pointers, especially WINDOW's throughout the
9183	  ncurses library.
9184	+ solve a problem with wrong calculation of panel overlapping (reported
9185	  by Ward Horner):
9186	  + make sure that a panel's window isn't a pad.
9187	  + do more error checking in module lib_touch.c
9188	+ missing files for Ada95 binding from the last patch
9189	+ synch. of generated html pages (RCS-Id's were wrong in html files)
9190	+ support for Key_Resize in Ada binding
9191	+ changed documentation style in ./c++/cursesm.h
9192	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
9193	+ undo attempt to do recursive inlining for PutChar(), noting that it
9194	  did not improve timing measurably, but inflated the size of
9195	  lib_doupdate.o
9196
9197970913
9198	+ modify rain.c to use color.
9199	+ correct scroll_csr_backward() to match scroll_csr_forward().
9200	+ minor adjustment to llib-lncurses, to work with Solaris 2.5.1
9201	+ minor fixes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure to reflect renaming
9202	  of configure cache variables in 970906.
9203	+ correct logic involving changes to O_VISIBLE option in
9204	  Synchronize_Options function in frm_driver.c (Tony Hoffmann
9205	  <Tony.Hoffmann@hia.nrc.ca>)
9206	+ add $(HOSTCC) symbol to ncurses Makefile.in, to simplify setup for
9207	  cross compiling (suggested by Chris Johns).
9208	+ modify ifdef in lib_setup.c to only include <sys/ioctl.h> if we can
9209	  use it to support screen-size calculation (reported by Chris Johns).
9210	+ #undef unctrl to avoid symbol conflict in port to RTEMS (reported by
9211	  Chris Johns <cjohns@plessey.com.au>)
9212	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
9213	+ simplified, made minor corrections to Ada95 binding to form
9214	  fieldtype.
9215	+ The C++ binding has been enhanced:
9216	  + Improve NCursesWindow class:  added additional methods to cover
9217	    more ncurses functionality.  Make refresh() and noutrefresh()
9218	    virtual members to allow different implementation in the
9219	    NCursesPanel class.
9220	  + CAUTION:  changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of
9221	    NCursesWindow class.
9222	  + Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a
9223	    reimplementation of refresh() in the base class.  Added
9224	    noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel.
9225	  + Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform
9226	    functionality.
9227	  + Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to etip.h
9228	  + Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration of
9229	    menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of title lines
9230	    and Soft-Label-Keys for an application.
9231	  + Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menu's fieldlist.
9232	  + Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for menus.
9233	  + Enhanced demo.
9234	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_def.c:  take into account that copyarg and
9235	  freearg for a fieldtype may be NULL, makearg must not be NULL
9236	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_type.c:  in set_fieldtype_arg() makearg must
9237	  not be NULL, copyarg and freearg may be NULL.
9238	+ Fixed a bug in form/frm_def.c:  Allow Disconnect_Fields() if it is
9239	  already disconnected.
9240	+ Enhance form/frm_driver.c:  Allow growth of dynamic fields also on
9241	  navigation requests.
9242	+ Fixed a bug in form/fty_enum.c:  wrong position of postincrement in
9243	  case-insensitiva comparision routine.
9244	+ Enhanced form/lib_adabind.c with function _nc_get_field() to get a
9245	  forms field by index.
9246	+ Enhanced menu/m_adabind.c with function _nc_get_item() to get a menus
9247	  item by index.
9248	+ Fixed in curses.h.in:  make chtype argument for pechochar() constant.
9249	  Mark wbkgdset() as implemented, remove wbkgdset macro, because it was
9250	  broken (didn't handle colors correctly).
9251	+ Enhanced lib_mouse.c: added _nc_has_mouse() function
9252	+ Added _nc_has_mouse() prototype to curses.priv.h
9253	+ Modified lib_bkgd.c:  hopefully correct implementation of wbkgdset();
9254	  streamlined implementation of wbkgd()
9255	+ Modified lib_mvwin.c:  Disable move of a pad.  Implement (costly)
9256	  move of subwindows.  Fixed update behavior of movements of regular
9257	  windows.
9258	+ Fixed lib_pad.c:  make chtype argument of pechochar() const.
9259	+ Fixed lib_window.c:  dupwin() is not(!) in every bit a really clone
9260	  of the original.  Subwindows become regular windows by doing a
9261	  dupwin().
9262	+ Improved manpage form_fieldtype.3x
9263	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
9264	+ simplify the PutChar() handling of exit_am_mode, because we already
9265	  know that auto_right_margin is true.
9266	+ add a check in PutChar() for ability to insert to the case of
9267	  shifting character to LR corner.
9268	+ in terminal initialization by _nc_screen_resume(), make sure that
9269	  terminal right margin mode is known.
9270	+ move logic that invokes touchline(), or does the equivalent, into
9271	  _nc_scroll_window().
9272	+ modify scrolling logic use of insert/delete line capability, assuming
9273	  that they affect the screen contents only within the current
9274	  scrolling region.
9275	+ modify rain.c to demonstrate SIGWINCH handler.
9276	+ remove logic from getch() that would return an ERR if the application
9277	  called getch() when the cursor was at the lower-right corner of the
9278	  physical screen, and the terminal does not have insert-character
9279	  ability.
9280	+ change view.c so that it breaks out of getch() loop if a KEY_RESIZE
9281	  is read, and modify logic in getch() so this fix will yield the
9282	  desired behavior, i.e., the screen is repainted automatically when
9283	  the terminal window is resized.
9284
9285970906
9286	+ add configure option --enable-sigwinch
9287	+ modify view.c to test KEY_RESIZE logic, with "-r" option.
9288	+ modify testcurs.c to eliminate misleading display wrt cursor type
9289	  by testing if the terminal supports cnorm, civis, cvvis.
9290	+ several fixes for m68k/NeXT 4.0, to bring cur_term, _nc_curr_line and
9291	  _nc_curr_col variables into linked programs:  move these variables,
9292	  making new modules lib_cur_term and trace_buf (reported by Francisco
9293	  Alberto Tomei Torres <fatomei@sandburg.unm.edu>).
9294	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
9295	+ add pseudo-functionkey KEY_RESIZE which is returned by getch() when
9296	  the SIGWINCH handler has been called since the last call to
9297	  doupdate().
9298	+ modify lib_twait.c to hide EINTR only if HIDE_EINTR is defined.
9299	+ add SIGWINCH handler to ncurses library which is used if there is no
9300	  application SIGWINCH handler in effect when the screen is
9301	  initialized.
9302	+ make linked list of all SCREEN structures.
9303	+ move curses.h include before definition of SCREEN to use types in
9304	  that structure.
9305	+ correction to ensure that wgetstr uses only a newline to force a
9306	  scroll (970831).
9307
9308970831
9309	+ add experimental configure option --enable-safe-sprintf; the normal
9310	  mode now allocates a buffer as large as the screen for the
9311	  lib_printw.c functions.
9312	+ modify wgetch to refresh screen when reading ungetch'd characters,
9313	  since the application may require this - SVr4 does this.
9314	+ refine treatment of newline in wgetstr to echo only when this would
9315	  force the screen to scroll.
9316
9317970830
9318	+ remove override in wgetstr() that forces keypad(), since SVr4 does
9319	  not do this.
9320	+ correct y-reference for erasure in wgetstr() when a wrap forces a
9321	  scroll.
9322	+ correct x-position in waddch() after a wrap forces a scroll.
9323	+ echo newline in wgetstr(), making testscanw.c scroll properly when
9324	  scanw is done.
9325	+ modify vwscanw() to avoid potential buffer overflow.
9326	+ rewrote lib_printw.c to eliminate fixed-buffer limits.
9327	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
9328	+ correct an error in handling cooked mode in wgetch(); processing
9329	  was in the wrong order.
9330	+ simplified logic in wgetch() that handles backspace, etc., by using
9331	  wechochar().
9332	+ correct wechochar() so that it interprets the output character as
9333	  in waddch().
9334	+ modify pechochar() to use prefresh() rather than doupdate(), since
9335	  the latter does not guarantee immediate refresh of the pad.
9336	+ modify pechochar() so that if called with a non-pad WINDOW, will
9337	  invoke wechochar() instead.
9338	+ modify fifo indices to allow fifo to be longer than 127 bytes.
9339
9340970823
9341	+ add xterm-8bit to terminfo.src
9342	+ moved logic for SP->_fifohold inside check_pending() to make it
9343	  work properly when we add calls to that function.
9344	+ ensure that bool functions return only TRUE or FALSE, and TRUE/FALSE
9345	  are assigned to bool values (patch by H.J.Lu).
9346	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
9347	+ several fixes to getch:
9348	  1.  Separate cooked and raw keys in fifo
9349	  2.  Fix the case of ungetch'ed KEY_MOUSE
9350	  3.  wrap the code for hiding EINTR with ifdef HIDE_EINTR
9351	  4.  correctly handle input errors (i.e., EINTR) without loss of raw
9352	      keys
9353	  5.  recognize ESC KEY_LEFT and similar
9354	  6.  correctly handle the case of receiption of KEY_MOUSE from gpm
9355	+ correct off-by-one indexing error in _nc_mouse_parse(), that caused
9356	  single mouse events (press/release) to be ignored in favor of
9357	  composed events (click).  Improves on a fix from integrating gpm
9358	  support in 961229.
9359	+ add another call to check_pending, before scrolling, for
9360	  line-breakout optimization
9361	+ improve hashmap.c by
9362	  1.  fixed loop condition in grow_hunks()
9363	  2.  not marking lines with offset 0
9364	  3.  fixed condition of 'too far' criteria, thus one-line hunks are
9365	  ignored and two lines interchanged won't pass.
9366	+ rewrote/simplified _nc_scroll_optimize() by separating into two
9367	  passes, forward/backward, looking for chunks moving only in the given
9368	  direction.
9369	+ move logic that emits sgr0 when initializing the screen to
9370	  _nc_screen_init(), now invoked from newterm.
9371	+ move cursor-movement cleanup from endwin() into _nc_mvcur_wrap()
9372	  function and screen cleanup (i.e., color) into _nc_screen_wrap()
9373	  function.
9374	+ add new functions _nc_screen_init(), _nc_screen_resume() and
9375	  _nc_screen_wrap().
9376	+ rename _nc_mvcur_scrolln() to _nc_scrolln().
9377	+ add a copy of acs_map[] to the SCREEN structure, where it can be
9378	  stored/retrieved via set_term().
9379	+ move variables _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok, _nc_windows into the SCREEN
9380	  structure.
9381
9382970816
9383	+ implement experimental _nc_perform_scroll().
9384	+ modify newterm (actually _nc_setupscreen()) to emit an sgr0 when
9385	  initializing the screen, as does SVr4 (reported by Alexander V.
9386	  Lukyanov).
9387	+ added test_progs rule to ncurses/Makefile.
9388	+ modify test/configure.in to check if initscr is already in $LIBS
9389	  before looking for (n)curses library.
9390	+ correct version-number in configure script for OSF1 shared-library
9391	  options (patch by Tim Mooney).
9392	+ add -DNDEBUG to CPPFLAGS for --enable-assertions (as Juergen
9393	  originally patched) since the c++ demo files do not necessarily
9394	  include ncurses_cfg.h
9395	+ supply default value for --enable-assertions option in configure
9396	  script (reported by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu>).
9397	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
9398	+ correct/simplify logic of werase(), wclrtoeol() and wclrbot().  See
9399	  example firstlast.c
9400	+ optimize waddch_literal() and waddch_nosync() by factoring out
9401	  common subexpressions.
9402	+ correct sense of NDEBUG ifdef for CHECK_POSITION macro.
9403	+ corrections to render_char(), to make handling of colored blanks
9404	  match SVr4 curses, as well as to correct a bug that xor'd space
9405	  against the background character.
9406	+ replaced hash function with a faster one (timed it)
9407	+ rewrote the hashmap algorithm to be one-pass, this avoids multiple
9408	  cost_effective() calls on the same lines.
9409	+ modified cost_effective() so it is now slightly more precise.
9410	> patches for glibc integration (H.J.Lu):
9411	+ add modules define_key, keyok, name_match, tries
9412	+ add makefile rules for some of the unit tests in ncurses (mvcur,
9413	  captoinfo, hardscroll, hashmap).
9414	+ update Linux configure-script for wide-character definitions.
9415
9416970809
9417	+ modify _tracebits() to show the character size (e.g., CS8).
9418	+ modify tparm() to emit '\200' where the generated string would have a
9419	  null (reported by From:  Ian Dall <Ian.Dall@dsto.defence.gov.au> for
9420	  terminal type ncr7900).
9421	+ modify install process so that ldconfig is not invoked if the
9422	  package is built with an install-prefix.
9423	+ correct test program for chtype size (reported by Tim Mooney).
9424	+ add configure option --disable-scroll-hints, using this to ifdef the
9425	  logic that computes indices for _nc_scroll_optimize().
9426	+ add module ncurses/softscroll.c, to perform single-stage computation
9427	  of scroll indices used in _nc_scroll_optimize().  This is faster than
9428	  the existing scrolling algorithm, but tends to make too-small hunks.
9429	+ eliminate fixed buffer size in _nc_linedump().
9430	+ minor fixes to lib_doupdate.c to add tradeoff between clr_eol (el)
9431	  and clr_bol (el1), refine logic in ClrUpdate() and ClrBottom() (patch
9432	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9433	+ add test/testaddch.c, from a pending patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov.
9434	+ correct processing of "configure --enable-assertions" option (patch
9435	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
9436
9437970802
9438	+ add '-s' (single-step) option too test/hashtest.c, correct an error
9439	  in loop limit for '-f' (footer option), toggle scrollok() when
9440	  writing footer to avoid wrap at lower-right corner.
9441	+ correct behavior of clrtoeol() immediately after wrapping cursor,
9442	  which was not clearing the line at the cursor position (reported by
9443	  Liviu Daia <daia@stoilow.imar.ro>).
9444	+ corrected mapping for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I' rather than 'i'
9445	  (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@tezcat.com>).
9446	+ many corrections to make progs/capconvert work, as well as make it
9447	  reasonably portable and integrated with ncurses 4.1 (reported by Dave
9448	  Furstenau <df@ravine.binary.net>).
9449
9450970726
9451	+ add flag SP->_fifohold, corresponding logic to modify the behavior of
9452	  the line breakout logic so that if the application does not read
9453	  input, refreshes will not be stopped, but only slowed.
9454	+ generate slk_attr_off(), slk_attr_on(), slk_attr_set(), vid_attr(),
9455	  ifdef'd for wide-character support, since ncurses' WA_xxx attribute
9456	  masks are identical with the A_xxx masks.
9457	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to generate ifdef'd functions to support optional
9458	  configuration of wide-characters.
9459	+ modify tset to behave more like SVr4's tset, which does not modify
9460	  the settings of intr, quit or erase unless they are given as command
9461	  options (reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>).
9462	+ modify tset to look in /etc/ttys or /etc/ttytype if the configuration
9463	  does not have getttynam().
9464	+ extend baudrate table in tset.c to match baudrate() function.
9465	+ add table entries for 230400 and 460800 bd to baudrate() function.
9466	+ improve breakout logic by allowing it before the first line updated,
9467	  which is what SVr4 curses does (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9468	+ correct initialization of vcost in relative_move(), for cursor-down
9469	  case (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9470	> nits gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-3:
9471	+ install symbolic link for intotocap.
9472	+ reference libc directly when making shared libraries.
9473	+ correct renaming of curs_scr_dmp.3x in man_db.renames.
9474	+ guard tgetflag() and other termcap functions against null cur_term
9475	  pointer.
9476
9477970719
9478	+ corrected initial state of software echo (error in 970405, reported
9479	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9480	+ reviewed/added messages to configure script, so that all non-test
9481	  options should be accompanied by a message.
9482	+ add configure check for long filenames, using this to determine if
9483	  it is safe to allow long aliases for terminal descriptions as does
9484	  SVr4.
9485	+ add configure options for widec (wide character), hashmap (both
9486	  experimental).
9487	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
9488	+ hashmap.c - improved by heuristic, so that scroll test works much
9489	  better when csr is not available.
9490	+ hardscroll.c - patched so that it continues to scroll other chunks
9491	  after failure to scroll one.
9492	+ lib_doupdate.c - _nc_mvcur_scrolln extended to handle more cases; csr
9493	  is avoided as it is relative costly.  Fixed wrong coordinates in one
9494	  case and wrong string in TRACE.
9495	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
9496	+ modify C++ binding to compile on AIX 4.x with the IBM C-SET++
9497	  compiler.
9498
9499970712
9500	+ remove alternate character set from kterm terminfo entry; it uses the
9501	  shift-out control for a purpose incompatible with curses, i.e., font
9502	  switching.
9503	+ disentangle 'xterm' terminfo entry from some derived entries that
9504	  should be based on xterm-r6 instead.
9505	+ add cbt to xterm-xf86-xv32 terminfo entry; I added the emulation for
9506	  XFree86 3.1.2F, but overlooked its use in terminfo then - T.Dickey.
9507	+ correct logic in lib_mvcur.c that uses back_tab.
9508
9509970706
9510	+ correct change from 970628 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
9511	  contents of curscr are saved in newscr before clearing the screen.
9512	  This is needed to make repainting work with the present logic of
9513	  TransformLine().
9514	+ use napms() rather than sleep() in tset.c to avoid interrupting I/O.
9515
9516970705
9517	+ add limit checks to _nc_read_file_entry() to guard against overflow
9518	  of buffer when reading incompatible terminfo format, e.g, from OSF/1.
9519	+ correct some loop-variable errors in xmc support in lib_doupdate.c
9520	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to add gaps, specified by user, to allow
9521	  investigation of interaction with xmc (magic cookie) code.
9522	+ correct typo in 970524 mods to xmas.c, had omitted empty parameter
9523	  list from has_colors(), which gcc ignores, but SVr4 does not
9524	  (reported by Larry Virden).
9525	+ correct rmso capability in wy50-mc description.
9526	+ add configure option "--enable-hard-tabs", renamed TABS_OK ifdef to
9527	  USE_HARD_TABS.
9528	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
9529	+ Add bindings for keyok() and define_key() to the Ada95 packages.
9530	+ Improve man pages menu_post.3x and menu_format.3x
9531	+ Fix the HTML pages in the Ada95/html directory to reflect the above
9532	  changes.
9533
9534970628
9535	+ modify change from 970101 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
9536	  pending changes to both curscr and newscr are flushed properly.
9537	  This fixes a case where the first scrolling operation in nvi would
9538	  cause the screen to be cleared unnecessarily and repainted before
9539	  doing the indexing, i.e., by repeatedly pressing 'j' (reported by
9540	  Juergen Pfeifer).
9541	+ correct error in trans_string() which added embedded newlines in a
9542	  terminfo description to the stored strings.
9543	+ remove spurious newlines from sgr in wyse50 (and several other)
9544	  terminfo descriptions.
9545	+ add configure option for experimental xmc (magic cookie) code,
9546	  "--enable-xmc-glitch".  When disabled (the default), attributes that
9547	  would store a magic cookie are suppressed in vidputs().  The magic
9548	  cookie code is far from workable at this stage; the configuration
9549	  option is a stopgap.
9550	+ move _nc_initscr() from lib_initscr.c to lib_newterm.c
9551	+ correct path for invoking make_keys (a missing "./").
9552
9553970621
9554	+ correct sign-extension problem with "infocmp -e", which corrupted
9555	  acsc values computed for linux fallback data.
9556	+ correct dependency on ncurses/names.c (a missing "./").
9557	+ modify configure script to use '&&' even for cd'ing to existing
9558	  directories to work around broken shell interpreters.
9559	+ correct a loop-limit in _nc_hash_map() (patch by Alexander V.
9560	  Lukyanov).
9561
9562970615
9563	+ restore logic in _nc_scroll_optimize() which marks as touched the
9564	  lines in curscr that are shifted.
9565	+ add new utility 'make_keys' to compute keys.tries as a table rather
9566	  than a series of function calls.
9567	+ correct include-dependency for tic.h used by name_match
9568	+ removed buffer-allocation for name and description from m_item_new.c,
9569	  since this might result in incompatibilities with SVr4.  Also fixed
9570	  the corresponding Ada95 binding module (patch by Juergen Pfeifer,
9571	  report by Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@foxnet.net>)
9572	+ removed the mechanism to timestamp the generated Ada95 sources.  This
9573	  resulted always in generating patches for the HTML doc, even when
9574	  nothing really changed (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9575	+ improve man page mitem_new.3x (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9576
9577970614
9578	+ remove ech capability from rxvt description because it does not work.
9579	+ add missing case logic for infocmp -I option (reported by Lorenzo M.
9580	  Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>)
9581	+ correct old bug in pnoutrefresh() unmasked by fix in 970531; this
9582	  caused glitches in the ncurses 'p' test since the area outside the
9583	  pad was not compared when setting up indices for _nc_scroll_optimize.
9584	+ rewrote tracebits() to workaround misdefinition of TOSTOP on Ultrix
9585	  4.4, as well as to eliminate fixed-size buffer (reported by Chris
9586	  Tanner <tannerc@aecl.ca>)
9587	+ correct prototype for termattrs() as per XPG4 version 2.
9588	+ add placeholder prototypes for color_set(), erasewchar(),
9589	  term_attrs(), wcolor_set() as per XPG4 version 2.
9590	+ correct attribution for progs/progs.priv.h and lib_twait.c
9591	+ improve line-breakout logic by checking based on changed lines rather
9592	  than total lines (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9593	+ correct loop limits for table-lookup of enumerated value in form
9594	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9595	+ improve threshhold computation for determining when to call ClrToEOL
9596	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9597
9598970531
9599	+ add configure option --disable-database to force the library to
9600	  use only the fallback data.
9601	+ add configure option --with-fallbacks, to specify list of fallback
9602	  terminal descriptions.
9603	+ add a symbolic link for ncurses.h during install; too many programs
9604	  still assume there's an ncurses.h
9605	+ add new terminfo.src entry for xterm-xf86-v33.
9606	+ restore terminfo.src entry for emu to using setf/setb, since it is
9607	  not, after all, generating ANSI sequences.  Corrected missing comma
9608	  that caused setf/setb entries to merge.
9609	+ modify mousemask() to use keyok() to enable/disable KEY_MOUSE, so
9610	  that applications can disable ncurses' mouse and supply their own
9611	  handler.
9612	+ add extensions keyok() and define_key().  These are designed to allow
9613	  the user's application better control over the use of function keys,
9614	  e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE.  (The define_key idea was from
9615	  a mailing-list thread started by Kenneth Albanowski
9616	  <kjahds@kjahds.com> Nov'1995).
9617	+ restore original behavior in ncurses 'g' test, i.e., explicitly
9618	  set the keypad mode rather than use the default, since it confuses
9619	  people.
9620	+ rewrote the newdemo banner so it's readable (reported by Hugh
9621	  Daniel).
9622	+ tidy up exit from hashtest (reported by Hugh Daniel).
9623	+ restore check for ^Q in ncurses 'g' test broken in 970510 (reported
9624	  by Hugh Daniel)
9625	+ correct tput program, checking return-value of setupterm (patch by
9626	  Florian La Roche).
9627	+ correct logic in pnoutrefresh() and pechochar() functions (reported
9628	  by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf.usc.edu>).  The computation
9629	  of 'wide' date to eric's #283 (1.9.9), and the pechochar bug to the
9630	  original implementation (1.9.6).
9631	+ correct typo in vt102-w terminfo.src entry (patch by Robert Wuest
9632	  <rwuest@sire.vt.com>)
9633	+ move calls of _nc_background() out of various loops, as its return
9634	  value will be the same for the whole window being operated on (patch
9635	  by J T Conklin).
9636	+ add macros getcur[xy] getbeg[xy] getpar[xy], which are defined in
9637	  SVr4 headers (patch by J T Conklin <jtc@NetBSD.ORG>)
9638	+ modify glibc addon-configure scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
9639	+ correct a bug in hashmap.c: the size used for clearing the hashmap
9640	  table was incorrect, causing stack corruption for large values of
9641	  LINES, e.g., >MAXLINES/2 (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9642	+ eric's terminfo 9.13.23 & 9.13.24 changes: replaced minitel-2 entry,
9643	  added MGR, ansi-nt (note: the changes described for 9.13.24 have not
9644	  been applied).
9645	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
9646	+ correct a missing error-return in form_driver.c when wrapping of a
9647	  field is not possible.
9648	+ correct logic in form_driver.c for configurations that do not have
9649	  memccpy() (reported by Sidik Isani <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
9650	+ change several c++ binding functions to inline.
9651	+ modify c++ menu binding to inherit from panels, for proper
9652	  initialization.
9653	+ correct freeing of menu items in c++ binding.
9654	+ modify c++ binding to reflect removal of const from user data pointer
9655	  in forms/menus libraries.
9656
9657970524
9658	+ add description of xterm-16color.
9659	+ modify name of shared-library on *BSD to end with $(REL_VERSION)
9660	  rather than $(ABI_VERSION) to match actual convention on FreeBSD
9661	  (cf: 960713).
9662	+ add OpenBSD to shared-library case, same as NetBSD and FreeBSD
9663	  (reported by Hugh Daniel <hugh@rat.toad.com>).
9664	+ corrected include-dependency in menu/Makefile so that "make install"
9665	  works properly w/o first doing "make".
9666	+ add fallback definition for isascii, used in infocmp.
9667	+ modify xmas to use color, and to exit right away when a key is
9668	  pressed.
9669	+ modify gdc so that the scrolled digits function as described (there
9670	  was no time delay between the stages, and the digits overwrote the
9671	  bounding box without tidying up).
9672	+ modify lib_color.c to use setaf/setab only for the ANSI color codes
9673	  0 through 7.  Using 16 colors requires setf/setb.
9674	+ modify ncurses 'c' test to work with 16 colors, as well as the normal
9675	  8 colors.
9676	+ remove const qualifier from user data pointer in forms and menus
9677	  libraries (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9678	+ rewrote 'waddchnstr()' to avoid using the _nc_waddch_nosync()
9679	  function, thereby not interpreting tabs, etc., as per spec (patch by
9680	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9681
9682970517
9683	+ suppress check for pre-existing ncurses header if the --prefix
9684	  option is specified.
9685	+ add configure options "--with-system-type" and
9686	  "--with-system-release" to assist in checking the generated
9687	  makefiles.
9688	+ add configure option "--enable-rpath" to allow installers to specify
9689	  that programs linked against shared libraries will have their library
9690	  path embedded, allowing installs into nonstandard locations.
9691	+ add flags to OSF1 shared-library options to specify version and
9692	  symbol file (patch by Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>)
9693	+ add missing definition for ABI_VERSION to c++/Makefile.in (reported
9694	  by Satoshi Adachi <adachi@wisdom.aa.ap.titech.ac.jp>).
9695	+ modify link flags to accommodate HP-UX linker which embeds absolute
9696	  pathnames in executables linked against shared libraries (reported by
9697	  Jason Evans <jasone@mrc.uidaho.edu>, solved by Alan Shutko
9698	  <ats@hubert.wustl.edu>).
9699	+ drop unnecessary check for attribute-change in onscreen_mvcur() since
9700	  mvcur() is the only caller within the library, and that check in turn
9701	  is exercised only from lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
9702	  Lukyanov).
9703	+ add 'blank' parameter to _nc_scroll_window() so _nc_mvcur_scrolln()
9704	  can use the background of stdscr as a parameter to that function
9705	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9706	+ moved _nc_mvcur_scrolln() from lib_mvcur.c to lib_doupdate.c, to use
9707	  the latter's internal functions, as well as to eliminate unnecessary
9708	  cursor save/restore operations (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9709	+ omit parameter of ClrUpdate(), since it is called only for newscr,
9710	  further optimized/reduced by using ClearScreen() and TransformLine()
9711	  to get rid of duplicate code (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9712	+ modify scrolling algorithm in _nc_scroll_optimize() to reject hunks
9713	  that are smaller than the distance to be moved (patch by Alexander V.
9714	  Lukyanov).
9715	+ correct a place where the panel library was not ifdef'd in ncurses.c
9716	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
9717	+ documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer)
9718
9719970515	4.1 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
9720	+ re-tag changes since 970505 as 4.1 release.
9721
9722970510
9723	+ modify ncurses 'g' test to allow mouse input
9724	+ modify default xterm description to include mouse.
9725	+ modify configure script to add -Wwrite-strings if gcc warnings are
9726	  enabled while configuring --enable-const (and fixed related
9727	  warnings).
9728	+ add toggle, status display for keypad mode to ncurses 'g' test to
9729	  verify that keypad and scrollok are not inherited from parent window
9730	  during a call to newwin.
9731	+ correction to MKexpanded.sh to make it work when configure --srcdir
9732	  is used (reported by H.J.Lu).
9733	+ revise test for bool-type, ensuring that it checks if builtin.h is
9734	  available before including it, adding test for sizeof(bool) equal
9735	  to sizeof(short), and warning user if the size cannot be determined
9736	  (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9737	+ add files to support configuration of ncurses as an add-on library
9738	  for GNU libc (patch by H.J.Lu <hjl@lucon.org>)
9739
9740970506
9741	+ correct buffer overrun in lib_traceatr.c
9742	+ modify change to lib_vidattr.c to avoid redundant orig_pair.
9743	+ turn on 'echo()' in hanoi.c, since it is initially off.
9744	+ rename local 'errno' variable in etip.h to avoid conflict with global
9745	  (H.J.Lu).
9746	+ modify configure script to cache LD, AR, AR_OPTS (patch by H.J.Lu
9747	  <hjl@lucon.org>)
9748
9749970505	4.1 pre-release
9750	+ regenerate the misc directory html dumps without the link list, which
9751	  is not useful.
9752	+ correct dependency in form directory makefile which caused
9753	  unnecessary recompiles.
9754	+ correct substitution for ABI_VERSION in test-makefile
9755	+ modify install rules for shared-library targets to remove the target
9756	  before installing, since some install programs do not properly handle
9757	  overwrite of symbolic links.
9758	+ change order of top-level targets so that 'include' immediate
9759	  precedes the 'ncurses' directory, reducing the time between new
9760	  headers and new libraries (requested by Larry Virden).
9761	+ modify lib_vidattr.c so that colors are turned off only before
9762	  modifying other attributes, turned on after others.  This makes the
9763	  hanoi.c program display correctly on FreeBSD console.
9764	+ modify debug code in panel library to print user-data addresses
9765	  rather than the strings which they (may) point to.
9766	+ add check to ensure that C++ binding and demo are not built with g++
9767	  versions below 2.7, since the binding uses templates.
9768	+ modify c++ binding and demo to build and run with SGI's c++ compiler.
9769	  (It also compiles with the Sun SparcWorks compiler, but the demo does
9770	  not link, due to a vtbl problem).
9771	+ corrections to demo.cc, to fix out-of-scope variables (Juergen
9772	  Pfeifer).
9773
9774970503
9775	+ correct memory leak in _nc_trace_buf().
9776	+ add configure test for regexpr.h, for Unixware 1.x.
9777	+ correct missing "./" prefixing names of generated files in ncurses
9778	  directory.
9779	+ use single-quotes in configure scripts assignments for MK_SHARED_LIB
9780	  to workaround shell bug on FreeBSD 2.1.5
9781	+ remove tabs from intermediate #define's for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF
9782	  that caused incorrect result in ncurses_cfg.h
9783	+ correct initialization in lib_trace.c, which omitted version info.
9784	+ remove ech, el1 attributes from cons25w description; they appear to
9785	  malfunction in FreeBSD 2.1.5
9786	+ correct color attributes in terminfo.src and lib_color.c to match
9787	  SVr4 behavior by interchanging codes 1,4, 3,6 in the setf/setb
9788	  capabilities.
9789	+ use curs_set() rather than checks via tigetstr() for test programs
9790	  that hide the cursor: firework, rain, worm.
9791	+ ensure that if the terminal lacks change_scroll_region, parm_index
9792	  and parm_rindex are used only to scroll the whole screen (patch by
9793	  Peter Wemm).
9794	+ correct curs_set() logic, which did not return ERR if the requested
9795	  attributes did not exist, nor did it assume an unknown initial state
9796	  for the cursor (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9797	+ combine IDcTransformLine and NoIDcTransformLine to new TransformLine
9798	  function in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9799	+ correct hashmap.c, which did not update index information (patch by
9800	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9801	+ fixes for C++ binding and demo (see c++/NEWS) (Juergen Pfeifer).
9802	+ correct index in lib_instr.c (Juergen Pfeifer).
9803	+ correct typo in 970426 patch from Tom's cleanup of lib_overlay.c
9804	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9805
9806970426
9807	+ corrected cost computation in PutRange(), which was using
9808	  milliseconds compared to characters by adding two new members to the
9809	  SCREEN struct, _hpa_ch_cost and _cup_ch_cost.
9810	+ drop ncurses/lib_unctrl.c, add ncurses/MKunctrl.awk to generate a
9811	  const array of strings (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).  The
9812	  original suggestion in 970118 used a perl script.
9813	+ rewrote ncurses 'b' test to better exercise magic-cookie (xmc), as
9814	  well as noting the attributes that are not supported by a terminal.
9815	+ trace the computation of cost values in lib_mvcur.c
9816	+ modify _nc_visbuf() to use octal rather than hex, corrected sign
9817	  extension bug in that function that caused buffer overflow.
9818	+ modify trace in lib_acs.c to use _nc_visbuf().
9819	+ suppress trace within _traceattr2().
9820	+ correct logic of _tracechtype2(), which did not account for repeats
9821	  or redefinition within an acsc string.
9822	+ modify debug-library version baudrate() to use environment variable
9823	  $BAUDRATE to override speed computation.  This is needed for
9824	  regression testing.
9825	+ correct problems shown by "weblint -pedantic".
9826	+ update mailing-list information (now ncurses@bsdi.com).
9827
9828970419
9829	+ Improve form_field_validation.3x manpage to better describe the
9830	  precision parameter for TYPE_NUMERIC and TYPE_INTEGER.  Provide more
9831	  precise information how the range checking can be avoided.  (patch by
9832	  Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan Henderson)
9833	+ change type of min/max value of form types TYPE_INTEGER to long to
9834	  match SVr4 documentation.
9835	+ set the form window to stdscr in set_form_win() so that form_win()
9836	  won't return null (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan
9837	  Henderson <bryanh@giraffe.netgate.net>).
9838
9839970412
9840	+ corrected ifdef'ing of inline (cf: 970321) for TRACE vs C++.
9841	+ corrected toggle_attr_off() macro (patch by Andries Brouwer).
9842	+ modify treatment of empty token in $MANPATH to /usr/man (reported by
9843	  <Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>)
9844	+ modify traces that record functions-called so that chtype and attr_t
9845	  values are expressed symbolically, to simplify reuse of generated
9846	  test-scripts on SVr4 regression testing.
9847	+ add new trace functions _traceattr2() and _tracechtype2()
9848
9849970405
9850	+ add configure option --enable-const, to support the use of 'const'
9851	  where XSI should have, but did not, specify.  This defines
9852	  NCURSES_CONST, which is an empty token otherwise, for strict
9853	  compatibility.
9854	+ make processing of configure options more verbose by echoing the
9855	  --enable/--with values.
9856	+ add configure option --enable-big-core
9857	+ set initial state of software echo off as per XSI.
9858	+ check for C++ builtin.h header
9859	+ correct computation of absolute-path for $INSTALL that dropped "-c"
9860	  parameter from the expression.
9861	+ rename config.h to ncurses_cfg.h to avoid naming-conflict when
9862	  ncurses is integrated into larger systems (adapted from diffs by
9863	  H.J.Lu for libc).
9864	+ correct inequality in lib_doupdate.c that caused a single-char to not
9865	  be updated when the char on the right-margin was not blank, idcok()
9866	  was true (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov (in 970124), reported
9867	  by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu> in 970329).
9868	+ modify 'clean' rule in include/Makefile so that files created by
9869	  configure script are removed in 'distclean' rule instead.
9870
9871970328
9872	+ correct array limit in tparam_internal(), add case to interpret "%x"
9873	  (patch by Andreas Schwab)
9874	+ rewrote number-parsing in ncurses.c 'd' test; it did not reset the
9875	  value properly when non-numeric characters were given (reported by
9876	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
9877
9878970321
9879	+ move definition of __INTERNAL_CAPS_VISIBLE before include for
9880	  progs.priv.h (patch by David MacKenzie).
9881	+ add configuration summary, reordered check for default include
9882	  directory to better accommodate a case where installer is configuring
9883	  a second copy of ncurses (reported by Klaus Weide
9884	  <kweide@tezcat.com>)
9885	+ moved the #define for 'inline' as an empty token from the
9886	  $(CFLAGS_DEBUG) symbol into config.h, to avoid redefinition warning
9887	  (reported by Ward Horner).
9888	+ modify test for bool builtin type to use 'unsigned' rather than
9889	  'unknown' when cross-compiling (reported by Ward Horner).
9890
9891970315
9892	+ add header dependencies so that "make install.libs" will succeed
9893	  even if "make all" is not done first.
9894	+ moved some macros from lib_doupdate.c to curses.priv.h to use in
9895	  expanded functions with ATAC.
9896	+ correct implementation of lib_instr.c; both XSI and SVr4 agree that
9897	  the winnstr functions can return more characters than will fit on one
9898	  line.
9899
9900970308
9901	+ modify script that generates lib_gen.c to support traces of called &
9902	  return.
9903	+ add new configure option "--disable-macros", for testing calls within
9904	  lib_gen.c
9905	+ corrected logic that screens level-checking of called/return traces.
9906
9907970301
9908	+ use new configure macro NC_SUBST to replace AC_PATH_PROG, better
9909	  addressing request by Ward Horner.
9910	+ check for cross-compiling before trying to invoke the autoconf
9911	  AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED macro (reported by Ward Horner)
9912	+ correct/simplify loop in _nc_visbuf(), 970201 changes omitted
9913	  a pointer-increment.
9914	+ eliminate obsolete symbol SHARED_ABI from dist.mk (noted by
9915	  Florian La Roche).
9916
9917970215
9918	+ add configure option --enable-expanded, together with code that
9919	  implements an expanded form of certain complex macros, for testing
9920	  with ATAC.
9921	+ disable CHECK_POSITION unless --with-assertions is configured
9922	  (Alexander V Lukyanov pointed out that this is redundant).
9923	+ use keyname() to show traced chtype values where applicable rather
9924	  than _tracechar(), which truncates the value to 8-bits.
9925	+ minor fixes to TRACE_ICALLS, added T_CREATE, TRACE_CCALLS macros.
9926	+ modify makefiles in progs and test directories to avoid using C
9927	  preprocessor options on link commands (reported by Ward Horner)
9928	+ correct ifdef/include-order for nc_alloc.h vs lib_freeall.c (reported
9929	  by Ward Horner)
9930	+ modify ifdef's to use configure-defined symbols consistently
9931	  (reported by Ward Horner)
9932	+ add/use new makefile symbols AR, AR_OPTS and LD to assist in non-UNIX
9933	  ports (reported by Ward Horner <whorner@tsi-telsys.com>)
9934	+ rename struct try to struct tries, to avoid name conflict with C++
9935	  (reported by Gary Johnson).
9936	+ modify worm.c to hide cursor while running.
9937	+ add -Wcast-qual to gcc warnings, fix accordingly.
9938	+ use PutChar rather than PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to properly handle
9939	  wrapping (Alexander V Lukyanov).
9940	+ correct spurious echoing of input in hanoi.c from eric's #291 & #292
9941	  patches (reported by Vernon C. Hoxie <vern@zebra.alphacdc.com>).
9942	+ extend IRIX configuration to IRIX64
9943	+ supply missing install.libs rule needed after restructuring
9944	  test/Makefile.in
9945
9946970208
9947	+ modify "make mostlyclean" to leave automatically-generated source
9948	  in the ncurses directory, for use in cross-compiles.
9949	+ autogenerated object-dependencies for test directory
9950	+ add configure option --with-rcs-ids
9951	+ modify configuration scripts to generate major/minor/patch versions
9952	  (suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
9953	+ supply missing va_end's in lib_scanw.c
9954	+ use stream I/O for trace-output, to eliminate fixed-size buffer
9955	+ add TRACE_ICALLS definition/support to lib_trace.c
9956	+ modify Ada95 binding to work with GNAT 3.09 (Juergen Pfeifer).
9957
9958970201
9959	+ add/modify traces for called/return values to simplify extraction
9960	  for test scripts.
9961	+ changed _nc_visbuf to quote its result, and to dynamically allocate
9962	  the returned buffer.
9963	+ invoke ldconfig after installing shared library
9964	+ modify install so that overwrite applies to shared library -lcurses
9965	  in preference to static library (reported by Zeyd M Ben-Halim 960928).
9966	+ correct missing ';' in 961221 mod to overwrite optional use of $(LN_S)
9967	  symbol.
9968	+ fixes to allow "make install" to work without first doing a "make
9969	  all" (suggested by Larry Virden).
9970
9971970125
9972	+ correct order of #ifdef for TABS_OK.
9973	+ instrumented toe.c to test memory-leaks.
9974	+ correct memory-deallocation in toe.c (patch by Jesse Thilo).
9975	+ include <sys/types.h> in configuration test for regex.h (patch by
9976	  Andreas Schwab)
9977	+ make infocmp recognize -I option, for SVr4 compatibility (reported by
9978	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
9979
9980970118
9981	+ add extension 'use_default_colors()', modified test applications that
9982	  use default background (firework, gdc, hanoi, knight, worm) to
9983	  demonstrate.
9984	+ correct some limit checks in lib_doupdate.c exposed while running
9985	  worm.
9986	+ use typeCalloc macro for readability.
9987	+ add/use definition for CONST to accommodate testing with Solaris
9988	  (SVr4) curses, which doesn't use 'const' in its prototypes.
9989	+ modify ifdef's in test/hashtest.c and test/view.c to compile with
9990	  Solaris curses.
9991	+ modify _tracedump() to pad pad colors & attrs lines to match change
9992	  in 970101 showing first/last changes.
9993	+ corrected location of terminating null on dynamically allocated forms
9994	  fields (patch by Per Foreby).
9995
9996970111
9997	+ added headers to make view.c compile on SCO with the resizeterm()
9998	  code (i.e., struct winsize) - though this compiles, I don't have a
9999	  suitable test configuration since SIGWINCH doesn't pass my network to
10000	  that machine - T.Dickey.
10001	+ update test/configure.in to supply some default substitutions.
10002	+ modify configure script to add -lncurses after -lgpm to fix problem
10003	  linking against static libraries.
10004	+ add a missing noraw() to test/ncurses.c (places noted by Jeremy
10005	  Buhler)
10006	+ add a missing wclear() to test/testcurs.c (patch by Jeremy Buhler
10007	  <jbuhler@cs.washington.edu>)
10008	+ modify headers to accommodate compilers that don't allow duplicate
10009	  "#define" lines for NCURSES_VERSION (reported by Larry W. Virden
10010	  <lvirden@cas.org>)
10011	+ fix formatting glitch in curs_getch.3x (patch by Jesse Thilo).
10012	+ modify lib_doupdate to make el, el1 and ed optimization use the
10013	  can_clear_with macro, and change EmitRange to allow leaving cursor at
10014	  the middle of interval, rather than always at the end (patch by
10015	  Alexander V Lukyanov).  This was originally 960929, resync 970106.
10016
10017970104
10018	+ workaround defect in autoconf 2.12 (which terminates configuration
10019	  if no C++ compiler is found) by adding an option --without-cxx.
10020	+ modify several man-pages to use tbl, where .nf/.fi was used (reported
10021	  by Jesse Thilo).
10022	+ correct font-codes in some man-pages (patch by Jesse Thilo
10023	  <Jesse.Thilo@pobox.com>)
10024	+ use configure script's knowledge of existence of g++ library for the
10025	  c++ Makefile (reported by Paul Jackson).
10026	+ correct misleading description of --datadir configuration option
10027	  (reported by Paul Jackson <pj@sam.engr.sgi.com>)
10028
10029970101
10030	+ several corrections to _nc_mvcur_scrolln(), prompted by a bug report
10031	  from Peter Wemm:
10032	> the logic for non_dest_scroll_region was interchanged between the
10033	  forward & reverse scrolling cases.
10034	> multiple returns from the function allowed certain conditions to do
10035	  part of an operation before discovering that it couldn't be
10036	  completed, returning an error without restoring the cursor.
10037	> some returns were ERR, where the function had completed the
10038	  operation, because the insert/delete line logic was improperly
10039	  tested (this was probably the case Peter saw).
10040	> contrary to comments, some scrolling cases were tested after the
10041	  insert/delete line method.
10042	+ modify _tracedump() to show first/last changes.
10043	+ modify param of ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c to 'newscr', fixes
10044	  refresh problem (reported by Peter Wemm) that caused nvi to not show
10045	  result of ":r !ls" until a ^L was typed.
10046
10047961229	(internal alpha)
10048	+ correct some of the writable-strings warnings (reported by Gary
10049	  Johnson <gjohnson@season.com>).  Note that most of the remaining ones
10050	  are part of the XSI specification, and can't be "fixed".
10051	+ improve include-dependencies in form, menu, panel directories.
10052	+ correct logic of delay_output(), which would return early if
10053	  there is data on stdin.
10054	+ modify interface & logic of _nc_timed_wait() to support 2 file
10055	  descriptors, needed for GPM.
10056	+ integrate patch by Andrew Kuchling <amk@magnet.com> for GPM (mouse)
10057	  support, correcting logic in wgetch() and _nc_mouse_parse() which
10058	  prevented patch from working properly -TD
10059	+ improve performance of panel algorithm (Juergen Pfeifer 961203).
10060	+ strip RCS id's from generated .html files in Ada95 subtree.
10061	+ resync with generated .html files (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
10062	+ terminfo.src 10.1.0 (ESR).
10063
10064961224	4.0 release
10065	+ release as 4.0 to accommodate Linux ld.so.1.8.5
10066	+ correct syntax/spelling, regenerated .doc files from .html using
10067	  lynx 2.5
10068	+ refined forms/menus makefiles (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
10069
10070961221	- snapshot
10071	+ remove logic in read_entry.c that attempts to refine errno by using
10072	  'access()' for the directory (from patch by Florian La Roche).
10073	+ correct configure test/substitution that inhibits generating
10074	  include-path to /usr/include if gcc is used (reported by Florian La
10075	  Roche).
10076	+ modify setupterm() to allocate new TERMINAL for each call, just as
10077	  solaris' curses does (Alexander V Lukyanov 960829).
10078	+ corrected memory leaks in read_entry.c
10079	+ add configure options --with-dbmalloc, --with-dmalloc, and
10080	  --disable-leaks, tested by instrumenting infocmp, ncurses programs.
10081	+ move #include's for stdlib.h and string.h to *.priv.h to accommodate
10082	  use of dbmalloc.
10083	+ modify use of $(LN_S) to follow recommendation in autoconf 2.12,
10084	  i.e., set current directory before linking.
10085	+ split-out panel.priv.h, improve dependencies for forms, menus
10086	  (Juergen Pfeifer 961204).
10087	+ modify _nc_freewin() to reset globals curscr/newscr/stdscr when
10088	  freeing the corresponding WINDOW (found using Purify).
10089	+ modify delwin() to return ERR if the window to be deleted has
10090	  subwindows, needed as a side-effect of resizeterm() (found using
10091	  Purify).  Tested and found that SVr4 curses behaves this way.
10092	+ implement logic for _nc_freeall(), bringing stub up to date.
10093
10094961215
10095	+ modify wbkgd() so that it doesn't set nulls in the rendered text,
10096	  even if its argument doesn't specify a character (fixes test case by
10097	  Juergen Pfeifer for bug-report).
10098	+ set window-attributes in wbkgd(), to simplify comparison against
10099	  Solaris curses, which does this.
10100
10101961214	- snapshot
10102	+ replace most constants in ncurses 'o' test by expressions, making it
10103	  work with wider range of screen sizes.
10104	+ add options to ncurses.c to specify 'e' test softkey format, and the
10105	  number of header/footer lines to rip-off.
10106	+ add ^R (repaint after resize), ^L (refresh) commands to ncurses 'p'
10107	  test.
10108	+ add shell-out (!) command to ncurses 'p' test to allow test of
10109	  resize between endwin/refresh.
10110	+ correct line-wrap case in mvcur() by emitting carriage return,
10111	  overlooked in 960928, but needed due to SVr4 compatibility changes to
10112	  terminal modes in 960907.
10113	+ correct logic in wresize that causes new lines to be allocated,
10114	  broken for the special case of increasing rows only in 960907's fix
10115	  for subwindows.
10116	+ modify configure script to generate $(LDFLAGS) with -L and -l options
10117	  in preference to explicit library filenames.  (NOTE: this may
10118	  require further amending, since I vaguely recall a dynamic loader
10119	  that did not work properly without the full names, but it should be
10120	  handled as an exception to the rule, since some linkers do bulk
10121	  inclusion of libraries when given the full name - T.Dickey).
10122	+ modify configure script to allow user-supplied $CFLAGS to set the
10123	  debug-option in all libraries (requested by lots of people) -TD
10124	+ use return consistently from main(), rather than exit (reported by
10125	  Florian La Roche).
10126	+ add --enable-getcap-cache option to configure, normally disabled
10127	  (requested by Florian La Roche).
10128	+ make configure test for gettimeofday() and possibly -lbsd more
10129	  efficient (requested by Florian La Roche <florian@knorke.saar.de>)
10130	+ minor adjustments to Ada95 binding (patches by Juergen Pfeifer)
10131	+ correct attributes after emitting orig_pair in lib_vidattr.c (patch
10132	  by Alexander V Lukyanov).
10133
10134961208
10135	+ corrected README wrt Ada95 (Juergen Pfeifer)
10136
10137961207	- snapshot
10138	+ integrate resizeterm() into doupdate(), so that if screen size
10139	  changes between endwin/refresh, ncurses will resize windows to fit
10140	  (this needs additional testing with pads and softkeys).
10141	+ add, for memory-leak testing, _nc_freeall() entrypoint to free all
10142	  data used in ncurses library.
10143	+ initialize _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok statically to resolve discrepancy
10144	  between initscr() and newwin() initialization (reported by
10145	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
10146	+ test built VERSION=4.0, SHARED_ABI=4 with Linux ld.so.1.8.5
10147	  (set beta versions to those values -- NOTE that subsequent pre-4.0
10148	  beta may not be interchangeable).
10149	+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.12
10150
10151961130	1.9.9g release
10152	+ add copyright notices to configuration scripts (written by Thomas
10153	  Dickey).
10154
10155961127
10156	> patch, mostly for panel (Juergen Pfeifer):
10157	+ cosmetic improvement for a few routines in the ncurses core library
10158	  to avoid warning messages.
10159	+ the panel overlap detection was broken
10160	+ the panel_window() function was not fool-proof.
10161	+ Some inlining...
10162	+ Cosmetic changes (also to avoid warning messages when compiling with
10163	  -DTRACE).
10164
10165961126
10166	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
10167	+ eliminates warning messages for the compile of libform.
10168	+ inserts Per Foreby's new field type TYPE_IPV4 into libform.
10169	+ Updates man page and the Ada95 binding to reflect this.
10170	+ Improves inlining in libmenu and libform.
10171
10172961120
10173	+ improve the use of the "const" qualifier in the
10174	  panel library (Juergen Pfeifer)
10175	+ change set_panel_userptr() and panel_userptr() to use void*
10176	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
10177
10178961119
10179	+ change ABI to 3.4
10180	+ package with 961119 version of Ada95 binding (fixes for gnat-3.07).
10181	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
10182	+ correct initialization of the stdscr pseudo panel in panel library
10183	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
10184	+ use MODULE_ID (rcs keywords) in forms and menus libraries (Juergen
10185	  Pfeifer).
10186	> patch #324 (ESR):
10187	+ typo in curs_termcap man page (reported by Hendrik Reichel
10188	  <106065.2344@compuserve.com>)
10189	+ change default xterm entry to xterm-r6.
10190	+ add entry for color_xterm
10191
10192961116	- snapshot
10193	+ lint found several functions that had only #define implementations
10194	  (e.g., attr_off), modified curses.h.in to generate them as per XSI
10195	  Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
10196	+ add check in infocmp.c to guard against string compare of
10197	  CANCELLED_STRING values.
10198	+ modify firework.c, rain.c to hide cursor while running.
10199	+ correct missing va_end in lib_tparm.c
10200	+ modify hanoi.c to work on non-color terminals, and to use timing
10201	  delays when in autoplay mode.
10202	+ correct 'echochar()' to refresh immediately (reported by Adrian
10203	  Garside <94ajg2@eng.cam.ac.uk>)
10204	> patch #322 (ESR):
10205	+ reorganize terminfo.src entries for xterm.
10206
10207961109	- snapshot
10208	+ corrected error in line-breakout logic (lib_doupdate.c)
10209	+ modified newdemo to use wgetch(win) rather than getch() to eliminate
10210	  a spurious clear-screen.
10211	+ corrected ifdef's for 'poll()' configuration.
10212	+ added modules to ncurses, form, menu for Ada95 binding (Juergen
10213	  Pfeifer).
10214	+ modify set_field_buffer() to allow assignment of string longer than
10215	  the initial buffer length, and to return the complete string rather
10216	  than only the initial size (Juergen Pfeifer and Per Foreby
10217	  <perf@efd.lth.se>).
10218
10219961102	- snapshot
10220	+ configure for 'poll()' in preference to 'select()', since older
10221	  systems are more likely to have a broken 'select()'.
10222	+ modified render_char() to avoid OR'ing colors.
10223	+ minor fixes to testcurs.c, newdemo.c test programs: ifdef'd out the
10224	  resize test, use wbkgd and corrected box() parameters.
10225	+ make flushinp() test work in ncurses.c by using napms() instead of
10226	  sleep().
10227	+ undo ESR's changes to xterm-x11r6 (it no longer matched the X11R6.1
10228	  distribution, as stated)
10229	+ terminfo 9.13.18 resync (ESR)
10230	+ check for getenv("HOME") returning null (ESR).
10231	+ change buffer used to decode xterm-mouse commands to unsigned to
10232	  handle displays wider than 128 chars (Juergen Pfeifer).
10233	+ correct typo curs_outopts.3x (Juergen Pfeifer).
10234	+ correct limit-checking in wenclose() (Juergen Pfeifer).
10235	+ correction to Peter Wemm's newwin change (Thomas Fehr
10236	  <fehr@suse.de>).
10237	+ corrections to logic that combines colors and attributes; they must
10238	  not be OR'd (Juergen Pfeifer, extending from report/patch by Rick
10239	  Marshall).
10240
10241961026	- snapshot
10242	+ reset flags in 'getwin()' that might cause refresh to attempt to
10243	  manipulate the non-existent parent of a window that is read from a
10244	  file (lib_screen.c).
10245	+ restructure _nc_timed_wait() to log more information, and to try to
10246	  recover from badly-behaved 'select()' calls (still testing this).
10247	+ move define for GOOD_SELECT into configure script.
10248	+ corrected extra '\' character inserted before ',' in comp_scan.c
10249	+ corrected expansion of %-format characters in dump_entry.c; some were
10250	  rendered as octal constants.
10251	+ modify dump_entry.c to make terminfo output more readable and like
10252	  SVr4, by using "\s" for spaces (leading/trailing only), "\," for
10253	  comma, "\^" and "\:" as well.
10254	+ corrected some memory leaks in ncurses.c, and a minor logic error
10255	  in the top-level command-parser.
10256	+ correction for label format 4 (PC style with info line), a
10257	  slk_clear(), slk_restore() sequence didn't redraw the info line
10258	  (Juergen Pfeifer).
10259	+ modified the slk window (if simulated) to inherit the background and
10260	  default character attributes from stdscr (Juergen Pfeifer).
10261	+ corrected limit-check in set_top_row (Juergen Pfeifer).
10262
10263961019	- snapshot
10264	+ correct loop-limit in wnoutrefresh(), bug exposed during pipe-testing
10265	  had '.lastchar' entry one beyond '._maxx'.
10266	+ modify ncurses test-program to work with data piped to it.
10267	+ corrected pathname computation in run_tic.sh, removing extra "../"
10268	  (reported by Tim Mooney).
10269	+ modified configure script to use previous install's location for
10270	  curses.h
10271	+ added NetBSD and FreeBSD to platforms that use --prefix=/usr as
10272	  a default.
10273
10274961013
10275	+ revised xterm terminfo descriptions to reflect the several versions
10276	  that are available.
10277	+ corrected a pointer reference in dump_entry.c that didn't test if
10278	  the pointer was -1.
10279
10280961005	- snapshot
10281	+ correct _nc_mvcur_scrolln for terminals w/o scrolling region.
10282	+ add -x option to hashtest to control whether it allows writes to the
10283	  lower-right corner.
10284	+ ifdef'd (NCURSES_TEST) the logic for _nc_optimize_enable to make it
10285	  simpler to construct tests (for double-check of _nc_hash_map tests).
10286	+ correct ifdef's for c++ in curses.h
10287	+ change default xterm type to xterm-x11r6.
10288	+ correct quoting in configure that made man-pages installed with
10289	  $datadir instead of actual terminfo path.
10290	+ correct whitespace in include/Caps, which caused kf11, clr_eol and
10291	  clr_end to be omitted from terminfo.5
10292	+ fix memory leaks in delscreen() (adapted from Alexander V Lukyanov).
10293	+ improve appearance of marker in multi-selection menu (Juergen
10294	  Pfeifer)
10295	+ fix behavior for forms with all fields inactive (Juergen Pfeifer)
10296	+ document 'field_index()' (Juergen Pfeifer)
10297	> patch #321 (ESR):
10298	+ add some more XENIX keycap translations to include/Caps.
10299	+ modify newwin to set initial state of each line to 'touched'
10300	  (from patch by Peter Wemm <peter@spinner.dialix.com>)
10301	+ in SET_TTY, replace TCSANOW with TCSADRAIN (Alexander V Lukyanov).
10302
10303960928	- snapshot
10304	+ ifdef'd out _nc_hash_map (still slower)
10305	+ add graphic characters to vt52 description.
10306	+ use PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to ensure proper background, position.
10307	+ simplify/correct logic in 'mvcur()' that does wrapping; it was
10308	  updating the position w/o actually moving the cursor, which broke
10309	  relative moves.
10310	+ ensure that 'doupdate()' sets the .oldindex values back to a sane
10311	  state; this was causing a spurious refresh in ncurses 'r'.
10312	+ add logic to configure (from vile) to guard against builders who
10313	  don't remove config.cache & config.status when doing new builds -TD
10314	+ corrected logic for 'repeat_char' in EmitRange (cf: eric #317), which
10315	  did not follow the 2-parameter scheme specified in XSI.
10316	+ corrected logic of wrefresh, wnoutrefresh broken in #319, making
10317	  clearok work properly (report by Michael Elkins).
10318	+ corrected problem with endwin introduced by #314 (removing the
10319	  scrolling-region reset) that broke ncurses.c tests.
10320	+ corrected order of args in AC_CHECK_LIB (from report by Ami Fischman
10321	  <fischman@math.ucla.edu>).
10322	+ corrected formatting of terminfo.5 tables (Juergen Ehling)
10323	> patch 320 (ESR):
10324	+ change ABI to 3.3
10325	+ emit a carriage-return in 'endwin()' to workaround a kernel bug in
10326	  BSDI.  (requested by Mike Karels <karels@redrock.bsdi.com>)
10327	+ reverse the default o configure --enable-termcap (consensus).
10328	> patch 319 (ESR):
10329	+ modified logic for clearok and related functions (from report by
10330	  Michael Elkins) - untested
10331	> patch 318 (ESR):
10332	+ correction to #317.
10333	> patch 317 (ESR):
10334	+ re-add _nc_hash_map
10335	+ modify EmitRange to maintain position as per original design
10336	  (patch by A. Lukyanov).
10337	+ modify test/ncurses.c and tputs, etc., to allow trace counting
10338	  output characters.
10339	+ add hashtest.c program to time the hashmap optimization.
10340	> patch 316 (ESR):
10341	+ add logic to deal with magic-cookie (how was this tested?)
10342	  (lib_doupdate.c).
10343	+ add ncurses.c driver for magic-cookie, some fixes to ncurses.c
10344	> patch 315 (ESR):
10345	+ merge changes to lib_doupdate.c to use ech and rep - untested
10346	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
10347	+ modified handling of interrupted system calls - untested
10348	  (lib_getch.c, lib_twait.c).
10349	+ new function _nc_mvcur_resume()
10350	+ fix return value for 'overlay()', 'overwrite()'
10351
10352960914	- snapshot
10353	+ implement subwindow-logic in wresize, minor fixes to ncurses 'g'
10354	  test.
10355	+ corrected bracketing of fallback.c (reported/suggested fix by Juergen
10356	  Ehling <eh@eclipse.aball.de>).
10357	+ update xterm-color to reflect XFree86 3.1.3G release.
10358	+ correct broken dtterm description from #314 patch (e.g., spurious
10359	  newline.  The 'pairs' change might work, but no one's tested it
10360	  either ;-)
10361	+ clarify the documentation for the builtin form fieldtypes (Juergen
10362	  Pfeifer)
10363	> patch 314 (ESR):
10364	+ reset scroll region on startup rather than at wrapup time
10365	  (enhancement suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
10366	+ make storage of palette tables and their size counts per-screen for
10367	  multi-terminal applications (suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
10368	+ Improved error reporting for infotocap translation errors.
10369	+ Update terminfo.src to 9.13.14.
10370
10371960907	- snapshot
10372	+ rewrote wgetstr to make it erase control chars and also fix bogus use
10373	  of _nc_outstr which caused the display to not wrap properly (display
10374	  problem reported by John M. Flinchbaugh <glynis@netrax.net>)
10375	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to accommodate terminal responses to C1 codes
10376	  (and split up this screen to accommodate non-ANSI terminals).
10377	+ test enter_insert_mode and exit_insert_mode in has_ic().
10378	+ removed bogus logic in mvcur that assumes nl/nonl set output modes
10379	  (XSI says they are input modes; SVr4 implements this).
10380	+ added macros SET_TTY, GET_TTY to term.h
10381	+ correct getstr() logic that altered terminal modes w/o restoring.
10382	+ disable ICRNL, etc., during initialization to match SVr4, removing
10383	  the corresponding logic from raw, cbreak, etc.
10384	+ disable ONLCR during initialization, to match SVr4 (this is needed

10554960622	- snapshot
10555	+ modified logic that wraps cursor in addch to follow the XSI spec,

10558	  actual semantics.
10559	+ added -s option to tic, to provide better diagnostics in run_tic.sh
10560	+ improved error-recovery for tabset install.
10561	+ change ABI to 3.1 (dropped tparam, corrected getbkgd(), added

10586	  with a shared-library configuration.
10587	+ adjusted configure script so that it doesn't run tests with the
10588	  warnings turned on, which makes config.log hard to read.
10589	+ added 'lint' rule to top-level Makefile.
10590	+ added configure option '--with-install-prefix' for use by system
10591	  builders to install into staging locations (requested by
10592	  Charles Levert <charles@comm.polymtl.ca>).
10593	+ corrected autoconfigure for Debian man program; it's not installed
10594	  as "man_db".

10596	+ updated test/configure.in for timing-display in ncurses 'p' test
10597	+ corrected misspelled 'getbkgd()'.
10598	+ corrected wbkgdset to work like observed syvr4 (sets A_CHARTEXT part
10599	  to blank if no character given, copies attributes to window's
10600	  attributes).
10601	+ modified lib_doupdate.c to use lower-level SP's current_attr state
10602	  instead of curscr's state, since it is redundant.
10603	+ correction to IDcTransformLine logic which controls where InsStr is
10604	  invoked (refined by Alexander V Lukyanov).

10780* support for ESCDELAY.
10781* small fixes for menu/form code.
10782* the test directory has its own configure.
10783* fixes to pads when optimizing scrolling.
10784* fixed several off-by-one bugs.
10785* fixes for termcap->terminfo translation; less restrictions more correct
10786  behavior.
10787
10788### ncurses-1.9.7 -> 1.9.8a
10789
10790* teach infocmp -i to recognize ECMA highlight sequences
10791* infocmp now dumps all SVr4 termcaps (not just the SVr4 ones) on -C
10792* support infocmp -RBSD.
10793* satisfy XSI Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
10794* This represents the last big change to the public interface of ncurses. The
10795  ABI_VERSION has now been set at 3.0 and should stay there barring any great
10796  catastrophies or acts of God.
10797* The C++ has been cleaned up in reaction to the changes to satisfy XSI's
10798  requirements.
10799* libncurses now gets linked to libcurses to help seamless emulation
10800  (replacement) of a vendor's curses. --disable-overwrite turns this behavior
10801  off.
10802
10803### ncurses-1.9.6 -> 1.9.7
10804
10805* corrected return values of setupterm()
10806* Fixed some bugs in tput (it does padding now)
10807* fixed a bug in tic that made it do the wrong thing on entries with more than
10808  one `use' capability.
10809* corrected the screen-size calculation at startup time to alter the
10810  numeric capabilities as per SVr4, not just LINES and COLS.
10811* toe(1) introduced; does what infocmp -T used to.
10812* tic(1) can now translate AIX box1 and font[0123] capabilities.
10813* tic uses much less core, the dotic.sh kluge can go away now.
10814* fix read_entry() and write_entry() to pass through cancelled capabilities OK.
10815* Add $HOME/.terminfo as source/target directory for terminfo entries.
10816* termcap compilation now automatically dumps an entry to $HOME/.terminfo.
10817* added -h option to toe(1).
10818* added -R option to tic(1) and infocmp(1).
10819* added fallback-entry-list feature.
10820* added -i option to infocmp(1).
10821* do a better job at detecting if we're on SCO.
10822
10823### ncurses-1.9.5 -> 1.9.6
10824
10825* handling of TERMCAP environment variables now works correctly.
10826* various changes to shorten termcap translations to less that 1024 chars.
10827* tset(1) added
10828* mouse support for xterm.
10829* most data tables are now const and accordingly live in shareable text space.
10830* Obey the XPG4/SVr4 practice that echo() is initally off.
10831* tic is much better at translating XENIX and AIX termcap entries now.
10832* tic can interpret ko capabilities now.
10833* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's forms library.
10834* taught write_entry() how not to write more than it needs to; this change
10835  reduces the size of the terminfo tree by a full 26%!
10836* infocmp -T option added.
10837* better warnings about historical tic quirks from tic.
10838
10839### ncurses 1.9.4 -> 1.9.5
10840
10841* menus library is now included with documentation.
10842* lib_mvcur has been carefully profiled and tuned.
10843* Fixed a ^Z-handling bug that was tanking lynx(1).
10844* HJ Lu's patches for ELF shared libraries under Linux
10845* terminfo.src 9.8.2
10846* tweaks for compiling in seperate directories.
10847* Thomas Dickey's patches to support NeXT's brain-dead linker
10848* Eric Raymond's patches to fix problems with long termcap entries.
10849* more support for shared libraries under SunOS and IRIX.
10850
10851### ncurses 1.9.3 -> 1.9.4
10852
10853* fixed an undefined-order-of-evaluation bug in lib_acs.c
10854* systematically gave non-API public functions and data an _nc_ prefix.
10855* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's menu code into the distribution.
10856* totally rewrote the knight test game's interface
10857
10858### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.3
10859
10860* fixed the TERMCAP_FILE Support.
10861* fixed off-by-one errors in scrolling code
10862* added tracemunch to the test tools
10863* took steps to cut the running time of make install.data
10864
10865### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.2d
10866
10867* revised 'configure' script to produce libraries for normal, debug,
10868  profile and shared object models.
10869
10870### ncurses 1.9.1 -> 1.9.2
10871
10872* use 'autoconf' to implement 'configure' script.
10873* panels support added
10874* tic now checks for excessively long termcap entries when doing translation
10875* first cut at eliminating namespace pollution.
10876
10877### ncurses 1.8.9 -> 1.9
10878
10879* cleanup gcc warnings for the following: use size_t where 'int' is not
10880  appropriate, fixed some shadowed variables, change attr_t to compatible with
10881  chtype, use attr_t in some places where it was confused with 'int'.
10882* use chtype/attr_t casts as appropriate to ensure portability of masking
10883  operations.
10884* added-back waddchnstr() to lib_addstr.c (it had been deleted).
10885* supplied missing prototypes in curses.h
10886* include <termcap.h> in lib_termcap.c to ensure that the prototypes
10887  are consistent (they weren't).
10888* corrected prototype of tputs in <termcap.h>
10889* rewrote varargs parsing in lib_tparm.c (to avoid referencing memory
10890  that may be out of bounds on the stack) -- Purify found this.
10891* ensure that TRACE is defined in lib_trace.c (to solve prototype
10892  warnings from gcc).
10893* corrected scrolling-region size in 'mvcur_wrap()'
10894* more spelling fixes
10895* use 'calloc()' to allocate WINDOW struct in lib_newwin.c (Purify).
10896* set default value for SP->_ofp in lib_set_term.c (otherwise SunOS dumps
10897  core in init_acs()).
10898* include <errno.h> in write_entry.c (most "braindead" includes declare errno
10899  in that file).
10900
10901### ncurses 1.8.8 -> 1.8.9
10902
10903* compile (mostly) clean with gcc 2.5.8 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
10904  -Wmissing-prototypes -Wconversion and using __attribute__ to flush out
10905  non-portable use of "%x" for pointers, or for chtype data (which is declared
10906  as a long).
10907* modified doupdate to ensure that typahead was turned on before attempting
10908  select-call (otherwise, some implementations hang).
10909* added trace mask TRACE_FIFO, use this in lib_getch.c to allow finer
10910  resolution of traces.
10911* improved bounds checking on several critical functions.
10912* the data directory has been replaced by the new master terminfo file.
10913* -F file-comparison option added to infocmp.
10914* compatibility with XSI Curses is now documented in the man bages.
10915* wsyncup/wsyncdown functions are reliable now; subwindow code in general
10916  is much less flaky.
10917* capabilities ~msgr, tilde_glitch, insert_padding, generic_type, no_pad_char,
10918  memory_above, memory_below, and hard_copy are now used properly.
10919* cursor-movement optimization has been completely rewritten.
10920* vertical-movement optimization now uses hardware scrolling, il, dl.
10921
10922### ncurses 1.8.7 -> 1.8.8
10923* untic no longer exists, infocmp replaces it.
10924* tic can understand termcap now, especially if it is called captoinfo.
10925* The Linux Standard Console terminfo entry is called linux insead of console.
10926  It also uses the kernel's new method of changing charsets.
10927* initscr() will EXIT upon error (as the docs say) This wil mostly happen if
10928  you try to run on an undefined terminal.
10929* I can get things running on AIX but tic can't compile terminfo. I have to
10930  compile entries on another machine. Volunteers to hunt this bug are welcome.
10931* wbkgd() and wbkgdset() can be used to set a windows background to color.
10932  wclear()/werase() DO NOT use the current attribute to clear the screen.
10933  This is the way SVR4 curses works. PDCurses 2.1 is broken in this respect,
10934  though PDCurses 2.2 has been fixed.
10935* cleaned up the test/ directory.
10936* test/worm will segfault after quite a while.
10937* many spelling corrections courtesy of Thomas E. Dickey
10938
10939### ncurses 1.8.6 -> 1.8.7
10940* cleaned up programs in test/ directory.
10941* fixed wbkgdset() macro.
10942* modified getstr() to stop it from advancing cursor in noecho mode.
10943* modified linux terminfo entry to work with the latest kernel to get
10944  the correct alternate character set.
10945* also added a linux-mono entry for those running on monochrome screens.
10946* changed initscr() so that it behaves like the man page says it does.
10947  this fixes the problem with programs in test/ crashing with SIGSEV if
10948  a terminal is undefined.
10949* modified addch() to avoid using any term.h #define's
10950* removed duplicate tgoto() in lib_tparm.c
10951* modified dump_entry.c so that infocmp deals correctly with ',' in acsc
10952* modified delwin() to correctly handle deleting subwindows.
10953* fixed Makefile.dist to stop installing an empty curses.h
10954* fixed a couple of out-of-date notes in man pages.
10955
10956### ncurses 1.8.5 -> 1.8.6
10957* Implemented wbkgd(), bkgd(), bkgdset(), and wbkgdset().
10958* The handling of attributes has been improved and now does not turn off color
10959  if other attributes are turned off.
10960* scrolling code is improved. Scrolling in subwindows is still broken.
10961* Fixes to several bugs that manifest them on platforms other than Linux.
10962* The default to meta now depends on the status of the terminal when ncurses
10963  is started.
10964* The interface to the tracing facility has changed.  Instead of the pair of
10965  functions traceon() and traceoff(), there is just one function trace() which
10966  takes a trace mask argument.  The trace masks, defined in curses.h, are
10967  as follows:
10968
10969	#define TRACE_DISABLE   0x00    /* turn off tracing */
10970	#define TRACE_ORDINARY  0x01    /* ordinary trace mode */
10971	#define TRACE_CHARPUT   0x02    /* also trace all character outputs */
10972	#define TRACE_MAXIMUM   0x0f    /* maximum trace level */
10973
10974  More trace masks may be added, or these may be changed, in future releases.
10975* The pad code has been improved and the pad test code in test/ncurses.c has
10976  been improved.
10977* The prototype ansi entry has been changed to work with a wider variety
10978  of emulators.
10979* Fix to the prototype ansi entry that enables it to work with PC emulators
10980  that treat trailing ";m" in a highlight sequence as ";0m"; this doesn't
10981  break operation with any emulators.
10982* There are now working infocmp, captoinfo, tput, and tclear utilities.
10983* tic can now compile entries in termcap syntax.
10984* Core-dump bug in pnoutrefresh fixed.
10985* We now recognize and compile all the nonstandard capabilities in Ross
10986  Ridge's mytinfo package (rendering it obsolete).
10987* General cleanup and documentation improvements.
10988* Fixes and additions to the installation-documentation files.
10989* Take cursor to normal mode on endwin.
10990
10991### ncurses 1.8.4 -> 1.8.5
10992* serious bugs in updating screen which caused erratic non-display,
10993  fixed.
10994* fixed initialization for getch() related variable which cause
10995  unpredictable results.
10996* fixed another doupdate bug which only appeared if you have
10997  parm_char.
10998* implemented redrawln() and redrawwin().
10999* implemented winsnstr() and related functions.
11000* cleaned up insertln() and deleteln() and implemented (w)insdeln().
11001* changed Makefile.dist so that installation of man pages will
11002  take note of the terminfo directory.
11003* fixed Configure (removed the mysterious 'X').
11004* Eric S. Raymond fixed the script.* files so that they work with
11005  stock awk.
11006
11007#### ncurses 1.8.3 -> 1.8.4 #### ####
11008* fixed bug in refreshing the screen after return from shell_mode.
11009  There are still problems but they don't manifest themselves on
11010  my machine (Linux 0.99.14f).
11011* added wgetnstr() and modified things accordingly.
11012* fixed the script.src script.test to work with awk not just gawk.
11013* Configure can now take an argument of the target system.
11014* added test/ncurses.c which replaces several other programs and
11015  performs more testing.
11016[Thanks to Eric S Raymond for the last 4]
11017* more fixes to lib_overlay.c and added test/over.c to illustrate
11018  how it works.
11019* fixed ungetch() to take int instead of ch.
11020* fixes to cure wgetch() if flushinp() is called.
11021
11022One note I forgot to mention in 1.8.3 is that tracing is off by
11023default starting in the version. If you want tracing output, put
11024traceon(); in your code and link with -ldcurses.
11025
11026#### ncurses 1.8.2 -> ncurses 1.8.3 #### ####
11027MAJOR CHANGES:
110281) The order of capabilities has been changed in order to achieve
11029binary compatibility with SVR4 terminfo database. This has the
11030unfortunate effect of breaking application currently linked with
11031ncurses. To ensure correct behavior, recompile all such programs.
11032Most programs using color or newer capabilities will break, others
11033will probably continue to work ok.
11034
110352) Pavel Curtis has renounced his copyright to the public domain.
11036This means that his original sources (posted to comp.sources.unix,
11037volume 1) are now in the public domain.  The current sources are
11038NOT in the public domain, they are copyrighted by me.  I'm
11039entertaining ideas on what the new terms ncurses is released under.
11040
110413) Eric S. Raymond has supplied a complete set of man pages for
11042ncurses in ?roff format. They will eventually replace most of the
11043current docs. Both sets are included in this release.
11044
11045Other changes and notes from 1.8.2 include:
11046* SIGSEGV during scrolling no longer occurs.
11047* Other problems with scrolling and use of idl have been corrected.
11048* lib_getch.c has been re-written and should perform flawlessly.
11049  please use test/getch.c and any other programs to test this.
11050* ripoffline() is implemented (Thanks to Eric) and slk_ functions
11051  changed accordingly.
11052* I've added support for terminals that scroll if you write in the
11053  bottom-right corner.
11054* fixed more bugs in pads code. If anybody has a program that uses
11055  pads I'd love a copy.
11056* correct handling for terminal with back_color_erase capability
11057  (such as Linux console, and most PC terminals)
11058* ^Z handling apparently didn't work (I should never trust code
11059  sent me to me without extensive testing). It now seems to be
11060  fixed. Let me know if you have problems.
11061* I've added support for Apollo and NeXT, but it may still be
11062  incomplete, especially when dealing with the lack of POSIX
11063  features.
11064* scrolling should be more efficient on terminals with idl
11065  capabilities. Please see src/lib_scroll.c for more notes.
11066* The line drawing routines were offset by 1 at both ends. This
11067  is now fixed.
11068* added a few missing prototypes and macros (e.g. setterm())
11069* fixed code in src/lib_overlay.c which used to crash.
11070* added a few more programs in test/ The ones from the PDCurses
11071  package are useful, especially if you have SVR4 proper. I'm
11072  interested in the results you get on such a systems (Eric? ;-).
11073  They already exposed certain bugs in ncurses.
11074* See src/README for porting notes.
11075* The C++ code should really replace ncurses.h instead of working
11076  around it. It should avoid name-space clashes with nterm.h (use
11077  rows instead of lines, etc.)
11078* The C++ should compile ok. I've added explicit rules to the
11079  Makefile because no C++ defaults are documented on the suns.
11080* The docs say that echo() and nocbreak() are mutually exclusive.
11081  At the moment ncurses will switch to cbreak() if the case above
11082  occurs. Should it continue to do so? How about echo() and noraw()?
11083* PDCurses seem to assume that wclear() will use current attribute
11084  when clearing the screen. According to Eric this is not the case
11085  with SVR4.
11086* I have discovered, to my chagrin, SunOS 4.x (and probably other systems)
11087  * doesn't have vsscanf and God knows what else!  I've will do a vsscanf().
11088* I've also found out that the src/script.* rely on gawk and will not
11089  work with stock awk or even with nawk. Any changes are welcome.
11090* Linux is more tolerant of NULL dereferences than most systems. This
11091  fact was exposed by hanoi.
11092* ncurses still seems inefficient in drawing the screen on a serial
11093  link between Linux and suns. The padding may be the culprit.
11094* There seems to be one lingering problem with doupdate() after shelling
11095  out. Despite the fact the it is sending out the correct information
11096  to the terminal, nothing takes effect until you press ^L or another
11097  refresh takes place. And yes, output does get flushed.
11098
11099#### ncurses 1.8.1 -> ncurses 1.8.2 #### Nov 28, 1993 ####
11100
11101* added support for SVR4 and BSDI's BSD/386.
11102* major update and fix to scrolling routine.
11103* MORE fixes to stuff in lib_getch.c.
11104* cleaned-up configuration options and can now generate
11105	Config.* files through an awk script.
11106* changed setupterm() so it can be called more than once,
11107	add added set_curterm(), del_curterm().
11108* a few minor cleanups.
11109* added more prototypes in curses.h
11110
11111#### ncurses 1.8 -> ncurses 1.8.1 #### Nov 4, 1993 ####
11112
11113* added support for NeXTStep 3.0
11114* added termcap emulation (not well tested).
11115* more complete C++ interface to ncurses.
11116* fixed overlay(), overwrite(), and added copywin().
11117* a couple of bug fixes.
11118* a few code cleanups.
11119
11120#### ncurses 0.7.2/0.7.3 -> ncurses 1.8 #### Aug 31, 1993 ####
11121
11122* The annoying message "can't open file." was due to missing
11123  terminfo entry for the used terminal. It has now been
11124  replaced by a hopefully more helpful message.
11125* Problems with running on serial lines are now fixed.
11126* Added configuration files for SunOS, Linux, HP/UX, Ultrix,
11127  386bsd/BSDI (if you have others send'em to me)
11128* Cleaner Makefile.
11129* The documentation in manual.doc is now more uptodate.
11130* update optimization and support for hp terminals, and 386bsd
11131  console driver(s).
11132* mvcur optimization for terminals without cursor addressing
11133  (doesn't work on Linux)
11134* if cursor moved since last update, getch() will refresh the
11135  screen before working.
11136* getch() & alarm() can now live together. in 0.7.3 a signal
11137  interrupted getch() (bug or feature?) now the getch is
11138  restarted.
11139* scanw() et all were sick, now fixed.
11140* support for 8-bit input (use meta()).
11141* added default screen size to all terminfos.
11142* added c++ Ncursesw class.
11143* several minor bug fixes.
11144
11145#### ncurses 0.7.2 -> ncurses 0.7.3 #### May 27, 1993 ####
11146
11147* Config file to cope with different platforms (386BSD, BSDI, Ultrix, SunOS)
11148* more fixes to lib_getch.c
11149* changes related to Config
11150
11151#### ncurses 0.7 -> ncurses 0.7.2 #### May 22, 1993 ####
11152
11153* docs updated slightly (color usage is now documented).
11154* yet another fix for getch(), this one fixes problems with ESC being swallowed
11155  if another character is typed before the 1 second timeout.
11156* Hopefully, addstr() and addch() are 8-bit clean.
11157* fixed lib_tparm.c to use stdarg.h (should run on suns now)
11158* order of capabilities changed to reflect that specified in SYSV
11159  this will allow for binary-compatibility with existing terminfo dbs.
11160* added halfdelay()
11161* fixed problems with asc_init()
11162* added A_PROTECT and A_INVIS
11163* cleaned up vidputs()
11164* general cleanup of the code
11165* more attention to portability to other systems
11166* added terminfos for hp70092 (wont work until changes to lib_update.c are
11167  made) and 386BSD pcvt drivers.
11168
11169Thanks to Hellmuth Michaelis for his help.
11170optimization code is slated for the next major release, stay tuned!
11171
11172#### ncurses 0.6/0.61 -> ncurses 0.7 #### April 1, 1993
11173Please note that the next release will be called 1.8. If you want to know about
11174the rationale drop me a line.
11175
11176Included are several test programs in test/.
11177I've split up the panels library, reversi, tetris, sokoban. They are now
11178available separately from netcom.com:pub/zmbenhal/
11179
11180* color and ACS support is now fully compatible with SYSV at the terminfo
11181  level.
11182* Capabilities now includes as many SYSV caps I could find.
11183* tigetflag,tigetnum,tigetstr functions added.
11184* boolnames, boolfnames, boolcodes numnames, numfnames, numcodes,
11185  strnames, strfnames, strcodes arrays are now added.
11186* keyname() is added.

11198
111991) Included the missing data/console.
11200
112012) allow attributes when drawing boxes.
11202
112033) corrected usage of win->_delay value.
11204
112054) fixed a bug in lib_getch.c. if it didn't recognize a sequence it would
11206	simply return the last character in the sequence. The correct
11207	behavior is to return the entire sequence one character at a time.

11256* renamed compile/dump to tic/untic.
11257* New scrolling code.
