31This is a log of changes that ncurses has gone through since Zeyd started
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
4820061217 5.6 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
49
5020061217
51	+ add ifdef's for <wctype.h> for HPUX, which has the corresponding
52	  definitions in <wchar.h>.
53	+ revert the va_copy() change from 20061202, since it was neither
54	  correct nor portable.
55	+ add $(LOCAL_LIBS) definition to progs/Makefile.in, needed for
56	  rpath on Solaris.
57	+ ignore wide-acs line-drawing characters that wcwidth() claims are
58	  not one-column.  This is a workaround for Solaris' broken locale
59	  support.
60
6120061216
62	+ modify configure --with-gpm option to allow it to accept a parameter,
63	  i.e., the name of the dynamic GPM library to load via dlopen()
64	  (requested by Bryan Henderson).
65	+ add configure option --with-valgrind (from vile).
66	+ modify configure script AC_TRY_RUN and AC_TRY_LINK checks to use
67	  'return' in preference to 'exit()'.
68
6920061209
70	+ change default for --with-develop back to "no".
71	+ add XTABS to tracing of TTY bits.
72	+ updated autoconf patch to ifdef-out the misfeature which declares
73	  exit() for configure tests.  This fixes a redefinition warning on
74	  Solaris.
75	+ use ${CC} rather than ${LD} in shared library rules for IRIX64,
76	  Solaris to help ensure that initialization sections are provided for
77	  extra linkage requirements, e.g., of C++ applications (prompted by
78	  comment by Casper Dik in newsgroup).
79	+ rename "$target" in CF_MAN_PAGES to make it easier to distinguish
80	  from the autoconf predefined symbol.  There was no conflict,
81	  since "$target" was used only in the generated edit_man.sh file,
82	  but SuSE's rpm package contains a patch.
83
8420061202
85	+ update man/term.5 to reflect extended terminfo support and hashed
86	  database configuration.
87	+ updates for test/configure script.
88	+ adapted from SuSE rpm package:
89	  + remove long-obsolete workaround for broken-linker which declared
90	    cur_term in tic.c
91	  + improve error recovery in PUTC() macro when wcrtomb() does not
92	    return usable results for an 8-bit character.
93	+ patches from rpm package (SuSE):
94	  + use va_copy() in extra varargs manipulation for tracing version
95	    of printw, etc.
96	  + use a va_list rather than a null in _nc_freeall()'s call to
97	    _nc_printf_string().
98	+ add some see-also references in manpages to show related
99	  wide-character functions (suggested by Claus Fischer).
100
10120061125
102	+ add a check in lib_color.c to ensure caller does not increase COLORS
103	  above max_colors, which is used as an array index (discussion with
104	  Simon Sasburg).
105	+ add ifdef's allowing ncurses to be built with tparm() using either
106	  varargs (the existing status), or using a fixed-parameter list (to
107	  match X/Open).
108
10920061104
110	+ fix redrawing of windows other than stdscr using wredrawln() by
111	  touching the corresponding rows in curscr (discussion with Dan
112	  Gookin).
113	+ add test/redraw.c
114	+ add test/echochar.c
115	+ review/cleanup manpage descriptions of error-returns for form- and
116	  menu-libraries (prompted by FreeBSD docs/46196).
117
11820061028
119	+ add AUTHORS file -TD
120	+ omit the -D options from output of the new config script --cflags
121	  option (suggested by Ralf S Engelschall).
122	+ make NCURSES_INLINE unconditionally defined in curses.h
123
12420061021
125	+ revert change to accommodate bash 3.2, since that breaks other
126	  platforms, e.g., Solaris.
127	+ minor fixes to NEWS file to simplify scripting to obtain list of
128	  contributors.
129	+ improve some shared-library configure scripting for Linux, FreeBSD
130	  and NetBSD to make "--with-shlib-version" work.
131	+ change configure-script rules for FreeBSD shared libraries to allow
132	  for rpath support in versions past 3.
133	+ use $(DESTDIR) in makefile rules for installing/uninstalling the
134	  package config script (reports/patches by Christian Wiese,
135	  Ralf S Engelschall).
136	+ fix a warning in the configure script for NetBSD 2.0, working around
137	  spurious blanks embedded in its ${MAKEFLAGS} symbol.
138	+ change test/Makefile to simplify installing test programs in a
139	  different directory when --enable-rpath is used.
140
14120061014
142	+ work around bug in bash 3.2 by adding extra quotes (Jim Gifford).
143	+ add/install a package config script, e.g., "ncurses5-config" or
144	  "ncursesw5-config", according to configuration options.
145
14620061007
147	+ add several GNU Screen terminfo variations with 16- and 256-colors,
148	  and status line (Alain Bench).
149	+ change the way shared libraries (other than libtool) are installed.
150	  Rather than copying the build-tree's libraries, link the shared
151	  objects into the install directory.  This makes the --with-rpath
152	  option work except with $(DESTDIR) (cf: 20000930).
153
15420060930
155	+ fix ifdef in c++/internal.h for QNX 6.1
156	+ test-compiled with (old) egcs-1.1.2, modified configure script to
157	  not unset the $CXX and related variables which would prevent this.
158	+ fix a few terminfo.src typos exposed by improvments to "-f" option.
159	+ improve infocmp/tic "-f" option formatting.
160
16120060923
162	+ make --disable-largefile option work (report by Thomas M Ott).
163	+ updated html documentation.
164	+ add ka2, kb1, kb3, kc2 to vt220-keypad as an extension -TD
165	+ minor improvements to rxvt+pcfkeys -TD
166
16720060916
168	+ move static data from lib_mouse.c into SCREEN struct.
169	+ improve ifdef's for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset to work with Mac OS X
170	  (report by Michail Vidiassov).
171	+ modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX to ensure it uses the result from --prefix
172	  option (from lynx changes) -TD
173	+ adapt AC_PROG_EGREP check, noting that this is likely to be another
174	  place aggravated by POSIXLY_CORRECT.
175	+ modify configure check for awk to ensure that it is found (prompted
176	  by report by Christopher Parker).
177	+ update config.sub
178
17920060909
180	+ add kon, kon2 and jfbterm terminfo entry (request by Till Maas) -TD
181	+ remove invis capability from klone+sgr, mainly used by linux entry,
182	  since it does not really do this -TD
183
18420060903
185	+ correct logic in wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not guard
186	  against passing the multi-column attribute into a call on waddch(),
187	  e.g., using data returned by win_wch() (cf: 20041023)
188	  (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
189
19020060902
191	+ fix kterm's acsc string -TD
192	+ fix for change to tic/infocmp in 20060819 to ensure no blank is
193	  embedded into a termcap description.
194	+ workaround for 20050806 ifdef's change to allow visbuf.c to compile
195	  when using --with-termlib --with-trace options.
196	+ improve tgetstr() by making the return value point into the user's
197	  buffer, if provided (patch by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat Bugzilla
198	  #202480)).
199	+ correct libraries needed for foldkeys (report by Stanislav Ievlev)
200
20120060826
202	+ add terminfo entries for xfce terminal (xfce) and multi gnome
203	  terminal (mgt) -TD
204	+ add test/foldkeys.c
205
20620060819
207	+ modify tic and infocmp to avoid writing trailing blanks on terminfo
208	  source output (Debian #378783).
209	+ modify configure script to ensure that if the C compiler is used
210	  rather than the loader in making shared libraries, the $(CFLAGS)
211	  variable is also used (Redhat Bugzilla #199369).
212	+ port hashed-db code to db2 and db3.
213	+ fix a bug in tgetent() from 20060625 and 20060715 changes
214	  (patch/analysis by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat Bugzilla #202480)).
215
21620060805
217	+ updated xterm function-keys terminfo to match xterm #216 -TD
218	+ add configure --with-hashed-db option (tested only with FreeBSD 6.0,
219	  e.g., the db 1.8.5 interface).
220
22120060729
222	+ modify toe to access termcap data, e.g., via cgetent() functions,
223	  or as a text file if those are not available.
224	+ use _nc_basename() in tset to improve $SHELL check for csh/sh.
225	+ modify _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_termcap_entry() so infocmp,
226	  can access termcap data when the terminfo database is disabled.
227
22820060722
229	+ widen the test for xterm kmous a little to allow for other strings
230	  than \E[M, e.g., for xterm-sco functionality in xterm.
231	+ update xterm-related terminfo entries to match xterm patch #216 -TD
232	+ update config.guess, config.sub
233
23420060715
235	+ fix for install-rule in Ada95 to add terminal_interface.ads
236	  and terminal_interface.ali (anonymous posting in comp.lang.ada).
237	+ correction to manpage for getcchar() (report by William McBrine).
238	+ add test/chgat.c
239	+ modify wchgat() to mark updated cells as changed so a refresh will
240	  repaint those cells (comments by Sadrul H Chowdhury and William
241	  McBrine).
242	+ split up dependency of names.c and codes.c in ncurses/Makefile to
243	  work with parallel make (report/analysis by Joseph S Myers).
244	+ suppress a warning message (which is ignored) for systems without
245	  an ldconfig program (patch by Justin Hibbits).
246	+ modify configure script --disable-symlinks option to allow one to
247	  disable symlink() in tic even when link() does not work (report by
248	  Nigel Horne).
249	+ modify MKfallback.sh to use tic -x when constructing fallback tables
250	  to allow extended capabilities to be retrieved from a fallback entry.
251	+ improve leak-checking logic in tgetent() from 20060625 to ensure that
252	  it does not free the current screen (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
253
25420060708
255	+ add a check for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset (NetBSD #33916).
256	+ correct _nc_free_entries() and related functions used for memory leak
257	  checking of tic.
258
25920060701
260	+ revert a minor change for magic-cookie support from 20060513, which
261	  caused unexpected reset of attributes, e.g., when resizing test/view
262	  in color mode.
263	+ note in clear manpage that the program ignores command-line
264	  parameters (prompted by Debian #371855).
265	+ fixes to make lib_gen.c build properly with changes to the configure
266	  --disable-macros option and NCURSES_NOMACROS (cf:  20060527)
267	+ update/correct several terminfo entries -TD
268	+ add some notes regarding copyright to terminfo.src -TD
269
27020060625
271	+ fixes to build Ada95 binding with gnat-4.1.0
272	+ modify read_termtype() so the term_names data is always allocated as
273	  part of the str_table, a better fix for a memory leak (cf: 20030809).
274	+ reduce memory leaks in repeated calls to tgetent() by remembering the
275	  last TERMINAL* value allocated to hold the corresponding data and
276	  freeing that if the tgetent() result buffer is the same as the
277	  previous call (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
278	+ modify tack to test extended capability function-key strings.
279	+ improved gnome terminfo entry (GenToo #122566).
280	+ improved xterm-256color terminfo entry (patch by Alain Bench).
281
28220060617
283	+ fix two small memory leaks related to repeated tgetent() calls
284	  with TERM=screen (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
285	+ add --enable-signed-char to simplify Debian package.
286	+ reduce name-pollution in term.h by removing #define's for HAVE_xxx
287	  symbols.
288	+ correct typo in curs_terminfo.3x (Debian #369168).
289
29020060603
291	+ enable the mouse in test/movewindow.c
292	+ improve a limit-check in frm_def.c (John Heasley).
293	+ minor copyright fixes.
294	+ change configure script to produce test/Makefile from data file.
295
29620060527
297	+ add a configure option --enable-wgetch-events to enable
298	  NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS, and correct the associated loop-logic in
299	  lib_twait.c (report by Bernd Jendrissek).
300	+ remove include/nomacros.h from build, since the ifdef for
301	  NCURSES_NOMACROS makes that obsolete.
302	+ add entrypoints for some functions which were only provided as macros
303	  to make NCURSES_NOMACROS ifdef work properly:  getcurx(), getcury(),
304	  getbegx(), getbegy(), getmaxx(), getmaxy(), getparx() and getpary(),
305	  wgetbkgrnd().
306	+ provide ifdef for NCURSES_NOMACROS which suppresses most macro
307	  definitions from curses.h, i.e., where a macro is defined to override
308	  a function to improve performance.  Allowing a developer to suppress
309	  these definitions can simplify some application (discussion with
310	  Stanislav Ievlev).
311	+ improve description of memu/meml in terminfo manpage.
312
31320060520
314	+ if msgr is false, reset video attributes when doing an automargin
315	  wrap to the next line.  This makes the ncurses 'k' test work properly
316	  for hpterm.
317	+ correct caching of keyname(), which was using only half of its table.
318	+ minor fixes to memory-leak checking.
319	+ make SCREEN._acs_map and SCREEN._screen_acs_map pointers rather than
320	  arrays, making ACS_LEN less visible to applications (suggested by
321	  Stanislav Ievlev).
322	+ move chunk in SCREEN ifdef'd for USE_WIDEC_SUPPORT to the end, so
323	  _screen_acs_map will have the same offset in both ncurses/ncursesw,
324	  making the corresponding tinfo/tinfow libraries binary-compatible
325	  (cf: 20041016, report by Stanislav Ievlev).
326
32720060513
328	+ improve debug-tracing for EmitRange().
329	+ change default for --with-develop to "yes".  Add NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS
330	  and NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE environment variables to allow runtime
331	  suppression of the related hard-tabs and xmc-glitch features.
332	+ add ncurses version number to top-level manpages, e.g., ncurses, tic,
333	  infocmp, terminfo as well as form, menu, panel.
334	+ update config.guess, config.sub
335	+ modify ncurses.c to work around a bug in NetBSD 3.0 curses
336	  (field_buffer returning null for a valid field).  The 'r' test
337	  appears to not work with that configuration since the new_fieldtype()
338	  function is broken in that implementation.
339
34020060506
341	+ add hpterm-color terminfo entry -TD
342	+ fixes to compile test-programs with HPUX 11.23
343
34420060422
345	+ add copyright notices to files other than those that are generated,
346	  data or adapted from pdcurses (reports by William McBrine, David
347	  Taylor).
348	+ improve rendering on hpterm by not resetting attributes at the end
349	  of doupdate() if the terminal has the magic-cookie feature (report
350	  by Bernd Rieke).
351	+ add 256color variants of terminfo entries for programs which are
352	  reported to implement this feature -TD
353
35420060416
355	+ fix typo in change to NewChar() macro from 20060311 changes, which
356	  broke tab-expansion (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
357
35820060415
359	+ document -U option of tic and infocmp.
360	+ modify tic/infocmp to suppress smacs/rmacs when acsc is suppressed
361	  due to size limit, e.g., converting to termcap format.  Also
362	  suppress them if the output format does not contain acsc and it
363	  was not VT100-like, i.e., a one-one mapping (Novell #163715).
364	+ add configure check to ensure that SIGWINCH is defined on platforms
365	  such as OS X which exclude that when _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., are
366	  defined (report by Nicholas Cole)
367
36820060408
369	+ modify write_object() to not write coincidental extensions of an
370	  entry made due to it being referenced in a use= clause (report by
371	  Alain Bench).
372	+ another fix for infocmp -i option, which did not ensure that some
373	  escape sequences had comparable prefixes (report by Alain Bench).
374
37520060401
376	+ improve discussion of init/reset in terminfo and tput manpages
377	  (report by Alain Bench).
378	+ use is3 string for a fallback of rs3 in the reset program; it was
379	  using is2 (report by Alain Bench).
380	+ correct logic for infocmp -i option, which did not account for
381	  multiple digits in a parameter (cf: 20040828) (report by Alain
382	  Bench).
383	+ move _nc_handle_sigwinch() to lib_setup.c to make --with-termlib
384	  option work after 20060114 changes (report by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz).
385	+ add copyright notices to test-programs as needed (report by William
386	  McBrine).
387
38820060318
389	+ modify ncurses.c 'F' test to combine the wide-characters with color
390	  and/or video attributes.
391	+ modify test/ncurses to use CTL/Q or ESC consistently for exiting
392	  a test-screen (some commands used 'x' or 'q').
393
39420060312
395	+ fix an off-by-one in the scrolling-region change (cf_ 20060311).
396
39720060311
398	+ add checks in waddchnstr() and wadd_wchnstr() to stop copying when
399	  a null character is found (report by Igor Bogomazov).
400	+ modify progs/Makefile.in to make "tput init" work properly with
401	  cygwin, i.e., do not pass a ".exe" in the reference string used
402	  in check_aliases (report by Samuel Thibault).
403	+ add some checks to ensure current position is within scrolling
404	  region before scrolling on a new line (report by Dan Gookin).
405	+ change some NewChar() usage to static variables to work around
406	  stack garbage introduced when cchar_t is not packed (Redhat #182024).
407
40820060225
409	+ workarounds to build test/movewindow with PDcurses 2.7.
410	+ fix for nsterm-16color entry (patch by Alain Bench).
411	+ correct a typo in infocmp manpage (Debian #354281).
412
41320060218
414	+ add nsterm-16color entry -TD
415	+ updated mlterm terminfo entry -TD
416	+ remove 970913 feature for copying subwindows as they are moved in
417	  mvwin() (discussion with Bryan Christ).
418	+ modify test/demo_menus.c to demonstrate moving a menu (both the
419	  window and subwindow) using shifted cursor-keys.
420	+ start implementing recursive mvwin() in movewindow.c (incomplete).
421	+ add a fallback definition for GCC_PRINTFLIKE() in test.priv.h,
422	  for movewindow.c (report by William McBrine).
423	+ add help-message to test/movewindow.c
424
42520060211
426	+ add test/movewindow.c, to test mvderwin().
427	+ fix ncurses soft-key test so color changes are shown immediately
428	  rather than delayed.
429	+ modify ncurses soft-key test to hide the keys when exiting the test
430	  screen.
431	+ fixes to build test programs with PDCurses 2.7, e.g., its headers
432	  rely on autoconf symbols, and it declares stubs for nonfunctional
433	  terminfo and termcap entrypoints.
434
43520060204
436	+ improved test/configure to build test/ncurses on HPUX 11 using the
437	  vendor curses.
438	+ documented ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS in the ncurses manpage, for the
439	  benefit of developers who do not read INSTALL.
440
44120060128
442	+ correct form library Window_To_Buffer() change (cf:  20040516), which
443	  should ignore the video attributes (report by Ricardo Cantu).
444
44520060121
446	+ minor fixes to xmc-glitch experimental code:
447	  + suppress line-drawing
448	  + implement max_attributes
449	  tested with xterm.
450	+ minor fixes for the database iterator.
451	+ fix some buffer limits in c++ demo (comment by Falk Hueffner in
452	  Debian #348117).
453
45420060114
455	+ add toe -a option, to show all databases.  This uses new private
456	  interfaces in the ncurses library for iterating through the list of
457	  databases.
458	+ fix toe from 20000909 changes which made it not look at
459	  $HOME/.terminfo
460	+ make toe's -v option parameter optional as per manpage.
461	+ improve SIGWINCH handling by postponing its effect during newterm(),
462	  etc., when allocating screens.
463
46420060111
465	+ modify wgetnstr() to return KEY_RESIZE if a sigwinch occurs.  Use
466	  this in test/filter.c
467	+ fix an error in filter() modification which caused some applications
468	  to fail.
469
47020060107
471	+ check if filter() was called when getting the screensize.  Keep it
472	  at 1 if so (based on Redhat #174498).
473	+ add extension nofilter().
474	+ refined the workaround for ACS mapping.
475	+ make ifdef's consistent in curses.h for the extended colors so the
476	  header file can be used for the normal curses library.  The header
477	  file installed for extended colors is a variation of the
478	  wide-character configuration (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
479
48020051231
481	+ add a workaround to ACS mapping to allow applications such as
482	  test/blue.c to use the "PC ROM" characters by masking them with
483	  A_ALTCHARSET.  This worked up til 5.5, but was lost in the revision
484	  of legacy coding (report by Michael Deutschmann).
485	+ add a null-pointer check in the wide-character version of
486	  calculate_actual_width() (report by Victor Julien).
487	+ improve test/ncurses 'd' (color-edit) test by allowing the RGB
488	  values to be set independently (patch by William McBrine).
489	+ modify test/configure script to allow building test programs with
490	  PDCurses/X11.
491	+ modified test programs to allow some to work with NetBSD curses.
492	  Several do not because NetBSD curses implements a subset of X/Open
493	  curses, and also lacks much of SVr4 additions.  But it's enough for
494	  comparison.
495	+ update config.guess and config.sub
496
49720051224
498	+ use BSD-specific fix for return-value from cgetent() from CVS where
499	  an unknown terminal type would be reportd as "database not found".
500	+ make tgetent() return code more readable using new symbols
501	  TGETENT_YES, etc.
502	+ remove references to non-existent "tctest" program.
503	+ remove TESTPROGS from progs/Makefile.in (it was referring to code
504	  that was never built in that directory).
505	+ typos in curs_addchstr.3x, some doc files (noticed in OpenBSD CVS).
506
50720051217
508	+ add use_legacy_coding() function to support lynx's font-switching
509	  feature.
510	+ fix formatting in curs_termcap.3x (report by Mike Frysinger).
511	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to change preprocessor-expanded _Bool back to
512	  bool.
513
51420051210
515	+ extend test/ncurses.c 's' (overlay window) test to exercise overlay(),
516	  overwrite() and copywin() with different combinations of colors and
517	  attributes (including background color) to make it easy to see the
518	  effect of the different functions.
519	+ corrections to menu/m_global.c for wide-characters (report by
520	  Victor Julien).
521
52220051203
523	+ add configure option --without-dlsym, allowing developers to
524	  configure GPM support without using dlsym() (discussion with Michael
525	  Setzer).
526	+ fix wins_nwstr(), which did not handle single-column non-8bit codes
527	  (Debian #341661).
528
52920051126
530	+ move prototypes for wide-character trace functions from curses.tail
531	  to curses.wide to avoid accidental reference to those if
532	  _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined without ensuring that <wchar.h> is
533	  included.
534	+ add/use NCURSES_INLINE definition.
535	+ change some internal functions to use int/unsigned rather than the
536	  short equivalents.
537
53820051119
539	+ remove a redundant check in lib_color.c (Debian #335655).
540	+ use ld's -search_paths_first option on Darwin to work around odd
541	  search rules on that platform (report by Christian Gennerat, analysis
542	  by Andrea Govoni).
543	+ remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro.
544	+ ignore EINTR in tcgetattr/tcsetattr calls (Debian #339518).
545	+ fix several bugs in test/bs.c (patch by Stephen Lindholm).
546
54720051112
548	+ other minor fixes to cygwin based on tack -TD
549	+ correct smacs in cygwin (Debian #338234, report by Baurzhan
550	  Ismagulov, who noted that it was fixed in Cygwin).
551
55220051029
553	+ add shifted up/down arrow codes to xterm-new as kind/kri strings -TD
554	+ modify wbkgrnd() to avoid clearing the A_CHARTEXT attribute bits
555	  since those record the state of multicolumn characters (Debian
556	  #316663).
557	+ modify werase to clear multicolumn characters that extend into
558	  a derived window (Debian #316663).
559
56020051022
561	+ move assignment from environment variable ESCDELAY from initscr()
562	  down to newterm() so the environment variable affects timeouts for
563	  terminals opened with newterm() as well.
564	+ fix a memory leak in keyname().
565	+ add test/demo_altkeys.c
566	+ modify test/demo_defkey.c to exit from loop via 'q' to allow
567	  leak-checking, as well as fix a buffer size in winnstr() call.
568
56920051015
570	+ correct order of use-clauses in rxvt-basic entry which made codes for
571	  f1-f4 vt100-style rather than vt220-style (report by Gabor Z Papp).
572	+ suppress configure check for gnatmake if Ada95/Makefile.in is not
573	  found.
574	+ correct a typo in configure --with-bool option for the case where
575	  --without-cxx is used (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
576	+ add a note to INSTALL's discussion of --with-normal, pointing out
577	  that one may wish to use --without-gpm to ensure a completely
578	  static link (prompted by report by Felix von Leitner).
579
58020051010 5.5 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
581
58220051008
583	+ document in demo_forms.c some portability issues.
584
58520051001
586	+ document side-effect of werase() which sets the cursor position.
587	+ save/restore the current position in form field editing to make
588	  overlay mode work.
589
59020050924
591	+ correct header dependencies in progs, allowing parallel make (report
592	  by Daniel Jacobowitz).
593	+ modify CF_BUILD_CC to ensure that pre-setting $BUILD_CC overrides
594	  the configure check for --with-build-cc (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
595	+ modify CF_CFG_DEFAULTS to not use /usr as the default prefix for
596	  NetBSD.
597	+ update config.guess and config.sub from
598		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
599
60020050917
601	+ modify sed expression which computes path for /usr/lib/terminfo
602	  symbolic link in install to ensure that it does not change unexpected
603	  levels of the path (Gentoo #42336).
604	+ modify default for --disable-lp64 configure option to reduce impact
605	  on existing 64-bit builds.  Enabling the _LP64 option may change the
606	  size of chtype and mmask_t.  However, for ABI 6, it is enabled by
607	  default (report by Mike Frysinger).
608	+ add configure script check for --enable-ext-mouse, bump ABI to 6 by
609	  default if it is used.
610	+ improve configure script logic for bumping ABI to omit this if the
611	  --with-abi-version option was used.
612	+ update address for Free Software Foundation in tack's source.
613	+ correct wins_wch(), which was not marking the filler-cells of
614	  multi-column characters (cf:  20041023).
615
61620050910
617	+ modify mouse initialization to ensure that Gpm_Open() is called only
618	  once.  Otherwise GPM gets confused in its initialization of signal
619	  handlers (Debian #326709).
620
62120050903
622	+ modify logic for backspacing in a multiline form field to ensure that
623	  it works even when the preceding line is full (report by Frank van
624	  Vugt).
625	+ remove comment about BUGS section of ncurses manpage (Debian #325481)
626
62720050827
628	+ document some workarounds for shared and libtool library
629	  configurations in INSTALL (see --with-shared and --with-libtool).
630	+ modify CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GXX_VERSION macros to accommodate
631	  cross-compilers which emit the platform name in their version
632	  message, e.g.,
633		arm-sa1100-linux-gnu-g++ (GCC) 4.0.1
634	  (report by Frank van Vugt).
635
63620050820
637	+ start updating documentation for upcoming 5.5 release.
638	+ fix to make libtool  and libtinfo work together again (cf: 20050122).
639	+ fixes to allow building traces into libtinfo
640	+ add debug trace to tic that shows if/how ncurses will write to the
641	  lower corner of a terminal's screen.
642	+ update llib-l* files.
643
64420050813
645	+ modify initializers in c++ binding to build with old versions of g++.
646	+ improve special case for 20050115 repainting fix, ensuring that if
647	  the first changed cell is not a character that the range to be
648	  repainted is adjusted to start at a character's beginning (Debian
649	  #316663).
650
65120050806
652	+ fixes to build on QNX 6.1
653	+ improve configure script checks for Intel 9.0 compiler.
654	+ remove #include's for libc.h (obsolete).
655	+ adjust ifdef's in curses.priv.h so that when cross-compiling to
656	  produce comp_hash and make_keys, no dependency on wchar.h is needed.
657	  That simplifies the build-cppflags (report by Frank van Vugt).
658	+ move modules related to key-binding into libtinfo to fix linkage
659	  problem caused by 20050430 changes to MKkeyname.sh (report by
660	  Konstantin Andreev).
661
66220050723
663	+ updates/fixes for configure script macros from vile -TD
664	+ make prism9's sgr string agree with the rest of the terminfo -TD
665	+ make vt220's sgr0 string consistent with sgr string, do this for
666	  several related cases -TD
667	+ improve translation to termcap by filtering the 'me' (sgr0) strings
668	  as in the runtime call to tgetent() (prompted by a discussion with
669	  Thomas Klausner).
670	+ improve tic check for sgr0 versus sgr(0), to help ensure that sgr0
671	  resets line-drawing.
672
67320050716
674	+ fix special cases for trimming sgr0 for hurd and vt220 (Debian
675	  #318621).
676	+ split-out _nc_trim_sgr0() from modifications made to tgetent(), to
677	  allow it to be used by tic to provide information about the runtime
678	  changes that would be made to sgr0 for termcap applications.
679	+ modify make_sed.sh to make the group-name in the NAME section of
680	  form/menu library manpage agree with the TITLE string when renaming
681	  is done for Debian (Debian #78866).
682
68320050702
684	+ modify parameter type in c++ binding for insch() and mvwinsch() to
685	  be consistent with underlying ncurses library (was char, is chtype).
686	+ modify treatment of Intel compiler to allow _GNU_SOURCE to be defined
687	  on Linux.
688	+ improve configure check for nanosleep(), checking that it works since
689	  some older systems such as AIX 4.3 have a nonworking version.
690
69120050625
692	+ update config.guess and config.sub from
693		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
694	+ modify misc/shlib to work in test-directory.
695	+ suppress $suffix in misc/run_tic.sh when cross-compiling.  This
696	  allows cross-compiles to use the host's tic program to handle the
697	  "make install.data" step.
698	+ improve description of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables in manpages
699	  (prompted by report by Dave Ulrick).
700	+ improve description of cross-compiling in INSTALL
701	+ add NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html by Pradeep Padala
702	  (see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/).
703	+ modify configure script to obtain soname for GPM library (discussion
704	  with Daniel Jacobowitz).
705	+ modify configure script so that --with-chtype option will still
706	  compute the unsigned literals suffix for constants in curses.h
707	  (report by Daniel Jacobowitz:
708	+ patches from Daniel Jacobowitz:
709	  + the man_db.renames entry for tack.1 was backwards.
710	  + tack.1 had some 1m's that should have been 1M's.
711	  + the section for curs_inwstr.3 was wrong.
712
71320050619
714	+ correction to --with-chtype option (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
715
71620050618
717	+ move build-time edit_man.sh and edit_man.sed scripts to top directory
718	  to simplify reusing them for renaming tack's manpage (prompted by a
719	  review of Debian package).
720	+ revert minor optimization from 20041030 (Debian #313609).
721	+ libtool-specific fixes, tested with libtool 1.4.3, 1.5.0, 1.5.6,
722	  1.5.10 and 1.5.18 (all work except as noted previously for the c++
723	  install using libtool 1.5.0):
724	  + modify the clean-rule in c++/Makefile.in to work with IRIX64 make
725	    program.
726	  + use $(LIBTOOL_UNINSTALL) symbol, overlooked in 20030830
727	+ add configure options --with-chtype and --with-mmask-t, to allow
728	  overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of the corresponding types.
729	+ revise test for size of chtype (and mmask_t), which always returned
730	  "long" due to an uninitialized variable (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
731
73220050611
733	+ change _tracef's that used "%p" format for va_list values to ignore
734	  that, since on some platforms those are not pointers.
735	+ fixes for long-formats in printf's due to largefile support.
736
73720050604
738	+ fixes for termcap support:
739	  + reset pointer to _nc_curr_token.tk_name when the input stream is
740	    closed, which could point to free memory (cf: 20030215).
741	  + delink TERMTYPE data which is used by the termcap reader, so that
742	    extended names data will be freed consistently.
743	  + free pointer to TERMTYPE data in _nc_free_termtype() rather than
744	    its callers.
745	  + add some entrypoints for freeing permanently allocated data via
746	    _nc_freeall() when NO_LEAKS is defined.
747	+ amend 20041030 change to _nc_do_color to ensure that optimization is
748	  applied only when the terminal supports back_color_erase (bce).
749
75020050528
751	+ add sun-color terminfo entry -TD
752	+ correct a missing assignment in c++ binding's method
753	  NCursesPanel::UserPointer() from 20050409 changes.
754	+ improve configure check for large-files, adding check for dirent64
755	  from vile -TD
756	+ minor change to configure script to improve linker options for the
757	  Ada95 tree.
758
75920050515
760	+ document error conditions for ncurses library functions (report by
761	  Stanislav Ievlev).
762	+ regenerated html documentation for ada binding.
763	  see ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/gnathtml
764
76520050507
766	+ regenerated html documentation for manpages.
767	+ add $(BUILD_EXEEXT) suffix to invocation of make_keys in
768	  ncurses/Makefile (Gentoo #89772).
769	+ modify c++/demo.cc to build with g++ -fno-implicit-templates option
770	  (patch by Mike Frysinger).
771	+ modify tic to filter out long extended names when translating to
772	  termcap format.  Only two characters are permissible for termcap
773	  capability names.
774
77520050430
776	+ modify terminfo entries xterm-new and rxvt to add strings for
777	  shift-, control-cursor keys.
778	+ workaround to allow c++ binding to compile with g++ 2.95.3, which
779	  has a broken implementation of static_cast<> (patch by Jeff Chua).
780	+ modify initialization of key lookup table so that if an extended
781	  capability (tic -x) string is defined, and its name begins with 'k',
782	  it will automatically be treated as a key.
783	+ modify test/keynames.c to allow for the possibility of extended
784	  key names, e.g., via define_key(), or via "tic -x".
785	+ add test/demo_termcap.c to show the contents of given entry via the
786	  termcap interface.
787
78820050423
789	+ minor fixes for vt100/vt52 entries -TD
790	+ add configure option --enable-largefile
791	+ corrected libraries used to build Ada95/gen/gen, found in testing
792	  gcc 4.0.0.
793
79420050416
795	+ update config.guess, config.sub
796	+ modify configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, disable that on
797	  Darwin whose header files have problems (patch by Chris Zubrzycki).
798	+ modify form library Is_Printable_String() to use iswprint() rather
799	  than wcwidth() for determining if a character is printable.  The
800	  latter caused it to reject menu items containing non-spacing
801	  characters.
802	+ modify ncurses test program's F-test to handle non-spacing characters
803	  by combining them with a reverse-video blank.
804	+ review/fix several gcc -Wconversion warnings.
805
80620050409
807	+ correct an off-by-one error in m_driver() for mouse-clicks used to
808	  position the mouse to a particular item.
809	+ implement test/demo_menus.c
810	+ add some checks in lib_mouse to ensure SP is set.
811	+ modify C++ binding to make 20050403 changes work with the configure
812	  --enable-const option.
813
81420050403
815	+ modify start_color() to return ERR if it cannot allocate memory.
816	+ address g++ compiler warnings in C++ binding by adding explicit
817	  member initialization, assignment operators and copy constructors.
818	  Most of the changes simply preserve the existing semantics of the
819	  binding, which can leak memory, etc., but by making these features
820	  visible, it provides a framework for improving the binding.
821	+ improve C++ binding using static_cast, etc.
822	+ modify configure script --enable-warnings to add options to g++ to
823	  correspond to the gcc --enable-warnings.
824	+ modify C++ binding to use some C internal functions to make it
825	  compile properly on Solaris (and other platforms).
826
82720050327
828	+ amend change from 20050320 to limit it to configurations with a
829	  valid locale.
830	+ fix a bug introduced in 20050320 which broke the translation of
831	  nonprinting characters to uparrow form (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
832
83320050326
834	+ add ifdef's for _LP64 in curses.h to avoid using wasteful 64-bits for
835	  chtype and mmask_t, but add configure option --disable-lp64 in case
836	  anyone used that configuration.
837	+ update misc/shlib script to account for Mac OS X (report by Michail
838	  Vidiassov).
839	+ correct comparison for wrapping multibyte characters in
840	  waddch_literal() (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
841
84220050320
843	+ add -c and -w options to tset to allow user to suppress ncurses'
844	  resizing of the terminal emulator window in the special case where it
845	  is not able to detect the true size (report by Win Delvaux, Debian
846	  #300419).
847	+ modify waddch_nosync() to account for locale zn_CH.GBK, which uses
848	  codes 128-159 as part of multibyte characters (report by Wang
849	  WenRui, Debian #300512).
850
85120050319
852	+ modify ncurses.c 'd' test to make it work with 88-color
853	  configuration, i.e., by implementing scrolling.
854	+ improve scrolling in ncurses.c 'c' and 'C' tests, e.g., for 88-color
855	  configuration.
856
85720050312
858	+ change tracemunch to use strict checking.
859	+ modify ncurses.c 'p' test to test line-drawing within a pad.
860	+ implement environment variable NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS to support
861	  miscellaneous terminal emulators which ignore alternate character
862	  set escape sequences when in UTF-8 mode.
863
86420050305
865	+ change NCursesWindow::err_handler() to a virtual function (request by
866	  Steve Beal).
867	+ modify fty_int.c and fty_num.c to handle wide characters (report by
868	  Wolfgang Gutjahr).
869	+ adapt fix for fty_alpha.c to fty_alnum.c, which also handled normal
870	  and wide characters inconsistently (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
871	+ update llib-* files to reflect internal interface additions/changes.
872
87320050226
874	+ improve test/configure script, adding tests for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc.,
875	  from lynx.
876	+ add aixterm-16color terminfo entry -TD
877	+ modified xterm-new terminfo entry to work with tgetent() changes -TD
878	+ extended changes in tgetent() from 20040710 to allow the substring of
879	  sgr0 which matches rmacs to be at the beginning of the sgr0 string
880	  (request by Thomas Wolff).  Wolff says the visual effect in
881	  combination with pre-20040710 ncurses is improved.
882	+ fix off-by-one in winnstr() call which caused form field validation
883	  of multibyte characters to ignore the last character in a field.
884	+ correct logic in winsch() for inserting multibyte strings; the code
885	  would clear cells after the insertion rather than push them to the
886	  right (cf: 20040228).
887	+ fix an inconsistency in Check_Alpha_Field() between normal and wide
888	  character logic (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
889
89020050219
891	+ fix a bug in editing wide-characters in form library: deleting a
892	  nonwide character modified the previous wide-character.
893	+ update manpage to describe NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2.
894	+ correct manpage description of mouseinterval() (Debian #280687).
895	+ add a note to default_colors.3x explaining why this extension was
896	  added (Debian #295083).
897	+ add traces to panel library.
898
89920050212
900	+ improve editing of wide-characters in form library:  left/right
901	  cursor movement, and single-character deletions work properly.
902	+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM happens to be prefixed with
903	  "xterm".  Gpm_Open() would otherwise assert that it can deal with
904	  mouse events in this case.
905	+ modify GPM mouse support so it closes the server connection when
906	  the caller disables the mouse (report by Stanislav Ievlev).
907
90820050205
909	+ add traces for callback functions in form library.
910	+ add experimental configure option --enable-ext-mouse, which defines
911	  NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies the encoding of mouse events to
912	  support wheel mice, which may transmit buttons 4 and 5.  This works
913	  with xterm and similar X terminal emulators (prompted by question by
914	  Andreas Henningsson, this is also related to Debian #230990).
915	+ improve configure macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE to
916	  avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin.
917
91820050129
919	+ merge remaining development changes for extended colors (mostly
920	  complete, does not appear to break other configurations).
921	+ add xterm-88color.dat (part of extended colors testing).
922	+ improve _tracedump() handling of color pairs past 96.
923	+ modify return-value from start_color() to return OK if colors have
924	  already been started.
925	+ modify curs_color.3x list error conditions for init_pair(),
926	  pair_content() and color_content().
927	+ modify pair_content() to return -1 for consistency with init_pair()
928	  if it corresponds to the default-color.
929	+ change internal representation of default-color to allow application
930	  to use color number 255.  This does not affect the total number of
931	  color pairs which are allowed.
932	+ add a top-level tags rule.
933
93420050122
935	+ add a null-pointer check in wgetch() in case it is called without
936	  first calling initscr().
937	+ add some null-pointer checks for SP, which is not set by libtinfo.
938	+ modify misc/shlib to ensure that absolute pathnames are used.
939	+ modify test/Makefile.in, etc., to link test programs only against the
940	  libraries needed, e.g., omit form/menu/panel library for the ones
941	  that are curses-specific.
942	+ change SP->_current_attr to a pointer, adjust ifdef's to ensure that
943	  libtinfo.so and libtinfow.so have the same ABI.  The reason for this
944	  is that the corresponding data which belongs to the upper-level
945	  ncurses library has a different size in each model (report by
946	  Stanislav Ievlev).
947
94820050115
949	+ minor fixes to allow test-compiles with g++.
950	+ correct column value shown in tic's warnings, which did not account
951	  for leading whitespace.
952	+ add a check in _nc_trans_string() for improperly ended strings, i.e.,
953	  where a following line begins in column 1.
954	+ modify _nc_save_str() to return a null pointer on buffer overflow.
955	+ improve repainting while scrolling wide-character data (Eungkyu Song).
956
95720050108
958	+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
959
96020050101
961	+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
962	+ fix manpage typo (FreeBSD report docs/75544).
963	+ update config.guess, config.sub
964	> patches for configure script (Albert Chin-A-Young):
965	+ improved fix to make mbstate_t recognized on HPUX 11i (cf:
966	  20030705), making vsscanf() prototype visible on IRIX64.  Tested for
967	  on HP-UX 11i, Solaris 7, 8, 9, AIX 4.3.3, 5.2, Tru64 UNIX 4.0D, 5.1,
968	  IRIX64 6.5, Redhat Linux 7.1, 9, and RHEL 2.1, 3.0.
969	+ print the result of the --disable-home-terminfo option.
970	+ use -rpath when compiling with SGI C compiler.
971
97220041225
973	+ add trace calls to remaining public functions in form and menu
974	  libraries.
975	+ fix check for numeric digits in test/ncurses.c 'b' and 'B' tests.
976	+ fix typo in test/ncurses.c 'c' test from 20041218.
977
97820041218
979	+ revise test/ncurses.c 'c' color test to improve use for xterm-88color
980	  and xterm-256color, added 'C' test using the wide-character color_set
981	  and attr_set functions.
982
98320041211
984	+ modify configure script to work with Intel compiler.
985	+ fix an limit-check in wadd_wchnstr() which caused labels in the
986	  forms-demo to be one character short.
987	+ fix typo in curs_addchstr.3x (Jared Yanovich).
988	+ add trace calls to most functions in form and menu libraries.
989	+ update working-position for adding wide-characters when window is
990	  scrolled (prompted by related report by Eungkyu Song).
991
99220041204
993	+ replace some references on Linux to wcrtomb() which use it to obtain
994	  the length of a multibyte string with _nc_wcrtomb, since wcrtomb() is
995	  broken in glibc (see Debian #284260).
996	+ corrected length-computation in wide-character support for
997	  field_buffer().
998	+ some fixes to frm_driver.c to allow it to accept multibyte input.
999	+ modify configure script to work with Intel 8.0 compiler.
1000
100120041127
1002	+ amend change to setupterm() in 20030405 which would reuse the value
1003	  of cur_term if the same output was selected.  This now reuses it only
1004	  when setupterm() is called from tgetent(), which has no notion of
1005	  separate SCREENs.  Note that tgetent() must be called after initscr()
1006	  or newterm() to use this feature (Redhat Bugzilla #140326).
1007	+ add a check in CF_BUILD_CC macro to ensure that developer has given
1008	  the --with-build-cc option when cross-compiling (report by Alexandre
1009	  Campo).
1010	+ improved configure script checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE and
1011	  _POSIX_C_SOURCE (fix for IRIX 5.3 from Georg Schwarz, _POSIX_C_SOURCE
1012	  updates from lynx).
1013	+ cosmetic fix to test/gdc.c to recolor the bottom edge of the box
1014	  for consistency (comment by Dan Nelson).
1015
101620041120
1017	+ update wsvt25 terminfo entry -TD
1018	+ modify test/ins_wide.c to test all flavors of ins_wstr().
1019	+ ignore filler-cells in wadd_wchnstr() when adding a cchar_t array
1020	  which consists of multi-column characters, since this function
1021	  constructs them (cf: 20041023).
1022	+ modify winnstr() to return multibyte character strings for the
1023	  wide-character configuration.
1024
102520041106
1026	+ fixes to make slk_set() and slk_wset() accept and store multibyte
1027	  or multicolumn characters.
1028
102920041030
1030	+ improve color optimization a little by making _nc_do_color() check
1031	  if the old/new pairs are equivalent to the default pair 0.
1032	+ modify assume_default_colors() to not require that
1033	  use_default_colors() be called first.
1034
103520041023
1036	+ modify term_attrs() to use termattrs(), add the extended attributes
1037	  such as enter_horizontal_hl_mode for WA_HORIZONTAL to term_attrs().
1038	+ add logic in waddch_literal() to clear orphaned cells when one
1039	  multi-column character partly overwrites another.
1040	+ improved logic for clearing cells when a multi-column character
1041	  must be wrapped to a new line.
1042	+ revise storage of cells for multi-column characters to correct a
1043	  problem with repainting.  In the old scheme, it was possible for
1044	  doupdate() to decide that only part of a multi-column character
1045	  should be repainted since the filler cells stored only an attribute
1046	  to denote them as fillers, rather than the character value and the
1047	  attribute.
1048
104920041016
1050	+ minor fixes for traces.
1051	+ add SP->_screen_acs_map[], used to ensure that mapping of missing
1052	  line-drawing characters is handled properly.  For example, ACS_DARROW
1053	  is absent from xterm-new, and it was coincidentally displayed the
1054	  same as ACS_BTEE.
1055
105620041009
1057	+ amend 20021221 workaround for broken acs to reset the sgr, rmacs
1058	  and smacs strings as well.  Also modify the check for screen's
1059	  limitations in that area to allow the multi-character shift-in
1060	  and shift-out which seem to work.
1061	+ change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it dynamically
1062	  at runtime (Debian #110586).
1063
106420041002
1065	+ correct logic for color pair in setcchar() and getcchar() (patch by
1066	  Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
1067	+ add t/T commands to ncurses b/B tests to allow a different color to
1068	  be tested for the attrset part of the test than is used in the
1069	  background color.
1070
107120040925
1072	+ fix to make setcchar() to work when its wchar_t* parameter is
1073	  pointing to a string which contains more data than can be converted.
1074	+ modify wget_wstr() and example in ncurses.c to work if wchar_t and
1075	  wint_t are different sizes (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
1076
107720040918
1078	+ remove check in wget_wch() added to fix an infinite loop, appears to
1079	  have been working around a transitory glibc bug, and interferes
1080	  with normal operation (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
1081	+ correct wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not pass the rendition
1082	  information (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
1083	+ fix aclocal.m4 so that the wide-character version of ncurses gets
1084	  compiled as libncursesw.5.dylib, instead of libncurses.5w.dylib
1085	  (adapted from patch by James J Ramsey).
1086	+ change configure script for --with-caps option to indicate that it
1087	  is no longer experimental.
1088	+ change configure script to reflect the fact that --enable-widec has
1089	  not been "experimental" since 5.3 (report by Bruno Lustosa).
1090
109120040911
1092	+ add 'B' test to ncurses.c, to exercise some wide-character functions.
1093
109420040828
1095	+ modify infocmp -i option to match 8-bit controls against its table
1096	  entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry.
1097	+ add morphos terminfo entry, improve amiga-8bit entry (Pavel Fedin).
1098	+ correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap, e.g.,
1099	  using "tic -C" (Redhat Bugzilla #130921).
1100	+ modified configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to ensure that if
1101	  it defines _POSIX_C_SOURCE, that it defines it to a specific value
1102	  (comp.os.stratus newsgroup comment).
1103
110420040821
1105	+ fixes to build with Ada95 binding with gnat 3.4 (all warnings are
1106	  fatal, and gnat does not follow the guidelines for pragmas).
1107	  However that did find a coding error in Assume_Default_Colors().
1108	+ modify several terminfo entries to ensure xterm mouse and cursor
1109	  visibility are reset in rs2 string:  hurd, putty, gnome,
1110	  konsole-base, mlterm, Eterm, screen (Debian #265784, #55637).  The
1111	  xterm entries are left alone - old ones for compatibility, and the
1112	  new ones do not require this change. -TD
1113
111420040814
1115	+ fake a SIGWINCH in newterm() to accommodate buggy terminal emulators
1116	  and window managers (Debian #265631).
1117	> terminfo updates -TD
1118	+ remove dch/dch1 from rxvt because they are implemented inconsistently
1119	  with the common usage of bce/ech
1120	+ remove khome from vt220 (vt220's have no home key)
1121	+ add rxvt+pcfkeys
1122
112320040807
1124	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test, adding v/V toggles to cycle through
1125	  combinations of video attributes so that for instance bold and
1126	  underline can be tested.  This made the legend too crowded, added
1127	  a help window as well.
1128	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test to cycle through default colors if
1129	  the -d option is set.
1130	+ update putty terminfo entry (Robert de Bath).
1131
113220040731
1133	+ modify test/cardfile.c to allow it to read more data than can be
1134	  displayed.
1135	+ correct logic in resizeterm.c which kept it from processing all
1136	  levels of window hierarchy (reports by Folkert van Heusden,
1137	  Chris Share).
1138
113920040724
1140	+ modify "tic -cv" to ignore delays when comparing strings.  Also
1141	  modify it to ignore a canceled sgr string, e.g., for terminals which
1142	  cannot properly combine attributes in one control sequence.
1143	+ corrections for gnome and konsole entries (Redhat Bugzilla #122815,
1144	  patch by Hans de Goede)
1145	> terminfo updates -TD
1146	+ make ncsa-m rmacs/smacs consistent with sgr
1147	+ add sgr, rc/sc and ech to syscons entries
1148	+ add function-keys to decansi
1149	+ add sgr to mterm-ansi
1150	+ add sgr, civis, cnorm to emu
1151	+ correct/simplify cup in addrinfo
1152
115320040717
1154	> terminfo updates -TD
1155	+ add xterm-pc-fkeys
1156	+ review/update gnome and gnome-rh90 entries (prompted by Redhat
1157	  Bugzilla #122815).
1158	+ review/update konsole entries
1159	+ add sgr, correct sgr0 for kterm and mlterm
1160	+ correct tsl string in kterm
1161
116220040711
1163	+ add configure option --without-xterm-new
1164
116520040710
1166	+ add check in wget_wch() for printable bytes that are not part of a
1167	  multibyte character.
1168	+ modify wadd_wchnstr() to render text using window's background
1169	  attributes.
1170	+ improve tic's check to compare sgr and sgr0.
1171	+ fix c++ directory's .cc.i rule.
1172	+ modify logic in tgetent() which adjusts the termcap "me" string
1173	  to work with ISO-2022 string used in xterm-new (cf: 20010908).
1174	+ modify tic's check for conflicting function keys to omit that if
1175	  converting termcap to termcap format.
1176	+ add -U option to tic and infocmp.
1177	+ add rmam/smam to linux terminfo entry (Trevor Van Bremen)
1178	> terminfo updates -TD
1179	+ minor fixes for emu
1180	+ add emu-220
1181	+ change wyse acsc strings to use 'i' map rather than 'I'
1182	+ fixes for avatar0
1183	+ fixes for vp3a+
1184
118520040703
1186	+ use tic -x to install terminfo database -TD
1187	+ add -x to infocmp's usage message.
1188	+ correct field used for comparing O_ROWMAJOR in set_menu_format()
1189	  (report/patch by Tony Li).
1190	+ fix a missing nul check in set_field_buffer() from 20040508 changes.
1191	> terminfo updates -TD
1192	  + make xterm-xf86-v43 derived from xterm-xf86-v40 rather than
1193	    xterm-basic -TD
1194	  + align with xterm patch #192's use of xterm-new -TD
1195	  + update xterm-new and xterm-8bit for cvvis/cnorm strings -TD
1196	  + make xterm-new the default "xterm" entry -TD
1197
119820040626
1199	+ correct BUILD_CPPFLAGS substitution in ncurses/Makefile.in, to allow
1200	  cross-compiling from a separate directory tree (report/patch by
1201	  Dan Engel).
1202	+ modify is_term_resized() to ensure that window sizes are nonzero,
1203	  as documented in the manpage (report by Ian Collier).
1204	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro to make Hurd port build
1205	  (Debian #249214, report/patch by Jeff Bailey).
1206	+ configure-script mods from xterm, e.g., updates to CF_ADD_CFLAGS
1207	+ update config.guess, config.sub
1208	> terminfo updates -TD
1209	  + add mlterm
1210	  + add xterm-xf86-v44
1211	  + modify xterm-new aka xterm-xfree86 to accommodate luit, which
1212	    relies on G1 being used via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (report by
1213	    Juliusz Chroboczek)
1214	  + add 'hurd' entry
1215
121620040619
1217	+ reconsidered winsnstr(), decided after comparing other
1218	  implementations that wrapping is an X/Open documentation error.
1219	+ modify test/inserts.c to test all flavors of insstr().
1220
122120040605
1222	+ add setlocale() calls to a few test programs which may require it:
1223	  demo_forms.c, filter.c, ins_wide.c, inserts.c
1224	+ correct a few misspelled function names in ncurses-intro.html (report
1225	  by Tony Li).
1226	+ correct internal name of key_defined() manpage, which conflicted with
1227	  define_key().
1228
122920040529
1230	+ correct size of internal pad used for holding wide-character
1231	  field_buffer() results.
1232	+ modify data_ahead() to work with wide-characters.
1233
123420040522
1235	+ improve description of terminfo if-then-else expressions (suggested
1236	  by Arne Thomassen).
1237	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'd' test, allow it to use external file for
1238	  initial palette (added xterm-16color.dat and linux-color.dat), and
1239	  reset colors to the initial palette when starting/ending the test.
1240	+ change limit-check in init_color() to allow r/g/b component to
1241	  reach 1000 (cf: 20020928).
1242
124320040516
1244	+ modify form library to use cchar_t's rather than char's in the
1245	  wide-character configuration for storing data for field buffers.
1246	+ correct logic of win_wchnstr(), which did not work for more than
1247	  one cell.
1248
124920040508
1250	+ replace memset/memcpy usage in form library with for-loops to
1251	  simplify changing the datatype of FIELD.buf, part of wide-character
1252	  changes.
1253	+ fix some inconsistent use of #if/#ifdef (report by Alain Guibert).
1254
125520040501
1256	+ modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by
1257	  multibyte character strings, in the wide-character configuration
1258	  (adapted from patch by Philipp Tomsich).
1259	+ add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F"
1260	  comparisons.  This modifies infocmp to only report extended
1261	  capabilities if the -x option is given, making this more consistent
1262	  with tic.  Some scripts may break, since infocmp previous gave this
1263	  information without an option.
1264	+ modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the beginning
1265	  of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic.
1266
126720040424
1268	+ minor compiler-warning and test-program fixes.
1269
127020040417
1271	+ modify tic's missing-sgr warning to apply to terminfo only.
1272	+ free some memory leaks in tic.
1273	+ remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending
1274	  beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner).
1275	+ remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
1276	  that extend beyond the screen.  Solaris curses does this.
1277	+ add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older
1278	  curses.
1279	+ add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog.
1280
128120040403
1282	+ modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond
1283	  to an unsigned char.
1284	+ add some limit-checks to guard isprint(), etc., from being used on
1285	  values that do not fit into an unsigned char (report by Sami Farin).
1286
128720040328
1288	+ fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change.
1289
129020040327
1291	+ modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's
1292	  current locale rather than using getenv().  This fixes a case in tin
1293	  which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale
1294	  is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen).
1295	+ add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD.
1296	+ add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr
1297	  string.  This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with
1298	  color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places.
1299	+ correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the
1300	  original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before
1301	  20030802 (Debian #237629).
1302
130320040320
1304	+ modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of
1305	  A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from
1306	  being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the
1307	  raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879).
1308
130920040313
1310	+ fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report
1311	  by Jim Idle).
1312	+ remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses
1313	  some apropos script (Debian #237831).
1314
131520040306
1316	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text,
1317	  set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing
1318	  mode is shown in that test.
1319	+ change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake.
1320	+ correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which
1321	  did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419).
1322
132320040228
1324	+ modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a
1325	  multibyte string.
1326	+ split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it.  X/Open states
1327	  that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other
1328	  insert-functions.  Currently it does not wrap.
1329	+ check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by
1330	  Stanislav Ievlev).
1331	+ split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first.
1332	+ fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC,
1333	  which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report
1334	  by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev).
1335
133620040221
1337	+ some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete
1338	  (request by Mike Aubury).
1339	+ add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of
1340	  stdbool.h, e.g.,
1341	  	#define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0
1342		#include <curses.h>
1343	  (discussion on XFree86 mailing list).
1344
134520040214
1346	+ modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets
1347	  the name of the terminfo library.  This would allow a packager to
1348	  build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion
1349	  with Stanislav Ievlev).
1350	+ improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and
1351	  $(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew).
1352	+ add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename
1353	  its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to
1354	  ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory
1355	  (prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs).
1356
135720040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
1358	+ update TO-DO.
1359
136020040207 pre-release
1361	+ minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param,
1362	  and do not count %d if it follows a %p.
1363	+ correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255
1364	  range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests.  In POSIX
1365	  locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former
1366	  did.
1367	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac
1368	  OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix
1369	  verified by Scott Corscadden).
1370
137120040131 pre-release
1372	+ modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors
1373	  to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo
1374	  (patch by Stanislav Ievlev).
1375	+ document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage.
1376	+ document special features of unctrl() in manpage.
1377	+ documented interface changes in INSTALL.
1378	+ corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale
1379	  (Debian #230335, cf: 971206).
1380	+ updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
1381	+ fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package.
1382	+ minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5.
1383
138420040125 pre-release
1385	+ amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number
1386	  of cells for a possibly multi-cell character.  The 20030614 change
1387	  forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not
1388	  greater than zero.  However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the
1389	  range 128-255 can give this return value.  The logic now simply
1390	  ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without
1391	  modifying the displayed value.
1392
139320040124 pre-release
1394	+ looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above)
1395	+ modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since
1396	  that works better for cross-compiling.
1397
139820040117 pre-release
1399	+ modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
1400	  work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
1401	  zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
1402	+ add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
1403	  to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
1404	+ add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
1405	+ add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
1406	  Bianchi).
1407	+ modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
1408	  (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz (see Debian
1409	  #227586)).
1410	+ correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
1411	  exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss (see Debian #224443)).
1412	+ modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
1413	+ remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
1414	+ make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
1415	+ improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
1416	  CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
1417	+ add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
1418	  simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
1419	+ add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
1420	  patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
1421	+ fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
1422	  HPUX .so/.sl case.
1423	+ resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
1424	  NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
1425	+ make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
1426	  will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
1427	+ rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool.  The
1428	  intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
1429	  compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
1430	  does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).
1431
143220040110 pre-release
1433	+ change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4
1434	+ revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W
1435	  Sittler).
1436	+ simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the
1437	  configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav
1438	  Ievlev).
1439	+ remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav
1440	  Ievlev).
1441	+ modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs
1442	  such as tic are not linked with the upper-level ncurses library
1443	  (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
1444	+ move version.c from ncurses/base to ncurses/tinfo to allow linking
1445	  of tic, etc., using libtinfo (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
1446
144720040103
1448	+ adjust -D's to build ncursesw on OpenBSD.
1449	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT to make OS/2 build with EXEEXT.
1450	+ add pecho_wchar().
1451	+ remove <wctype.h> include from lib_slk_wset.c which is not needed (or
1452	  available) on older platforms.
1453
145420031227
1455	+ add -D's to build ncursew on FreeBSD 5.1.
1456	+ modify shared library configuration for FreeBSD 4.x/5.x to add the
1457	  soname information (request by Marc Glisse).
1458	+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() to not use MAX_ALIAS, but PATH_MAX only
1459	  for limiting the length of a filename in the terminfo database.
1460	+ modify termname() to return the terminal name used by setupterm()
1461	  rather than $TERM, without truncating to 14 characters as documented
1462	  by X/Open (report by Stanislav Ievlev, cf:  970719).
1463	+ re-add definition for _BSD_TYPES, lost in merge (cf: 20031206).
1464
146520031220
1466	+ add configure option --with-manpage-format=catonly to address
1467	  behavior of BSDI, allow install of man+cat files on NetBSD, whose
1468	  behavior has diverged by requiring both to be present.
1469	+ remove leading blanks from comment-lines in manlinks.sed script to
1470	  work with Tru64 4.0d.
1471	+ add screen.linux terminfo entry (discussion on mutt-users mailing
1472	  list).
1473
147420031213
1475	+ add a check for tic to flag missing backslashes for termcap
1476	  continuation lines.  ncurses reads the whole entry, but termcap
1477	  applications do not.
1478	+ add configure option "--with-manpage-aliases" extending
1479	  "--with-manpage-aliases" to provide the option of generating ".so"
1480	  files rather than symbolic links for manpage aliases.
1481	+ add bool definition in include/curses.h.in for configurations with no
1482	  usable C++ compiler (cf: 20030607).
1483	+ fix pathname of SigAction.h for building with --srcdir (reported by
1484	  Mike Castle).
1485
148620031206
1487	+ folded ncurses/base/sigaction.c into includes of ncurses/SigAction.h,
1488	  since that header is used only within ncurses/tty/lib_tstp.c, for
1489	  non-POSIX systems (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev).
1490	+ remove obsolete _nc_outstr() function (report by Stanislav Ievlev
1491	  <inger@altlinux.org>).
1492	+ add test/background.c and test/color_set.c
1493	+ modify color_set() function to work with color pair 0 (report by
1494	  George Andreou <gbandreo@tem.uoc.gr>).
1495	+ add configure option --with-trace, since defining TRACE seems too
1496	  awkward for some cases.
1497	+ remove a call to _nc_free_termtype() from read_termtype(), since the
1498	  corresponding buffer contents were already zeroed by a memset (cf:
1499	  20000101).
1500	+ improve configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and related definitions,
1501	  adding special cases for Solaris' __EXTENSIONS__ and FreeBSD's
1502	  __BSD_TYPES (reports by Marc Glisse <marc.glisse@normalesup.org>).
1503	+ small fixes to compile on Solaris and IRIX64 using cc.
1504	+ correct typo in check for pre-POSIX sort options in MKkey_defs.sh
1505	  (cf: 20031101).
1506
150720031129
1508	+ modify _nc_gettime() to avoid a problem with arithmetic on unsigned
1509	  values (Philippe Blain).
1510	+ improve the nanosleep() logic in napms() by checking for EINTR and
1511	  restarting (Philippe Blain).
1512	+ correct expression for "%D" in lib_tgoto.c (Juha Jarvi
1513	  <mooz@welho.com>).
1514
151520031122
1516	+ add linux-vt terminfo entry (Andrey V Lukyanov <land@long.yar.ru>).
1517	+ allow "\|" escape in terminfo; tic should not warn about this.
1518	+ save the full pathname of the trace-file the first time it is opened,
1519	  to avoid creating it in different directories if the application
1520	  opens and closes it while changing its working directory.
1521	+ modify configure script to provide a non-empty default for
1522	  $BROKEN_LINKER
1523
152420031108
1525	+ add DJGPP to special case of DOS-style drive letters potentially
1526	  appearing in TERMCAP environment variable.
1527	+ fix some spelling in comments (reports by jmc, Jonathon Gray).
1528	+ update config.guess, config.sub
1529
153020031101
1531	+ fix a memory leak in error-return from setupterm() (report by
1532	  Stanislav Ievlev <inger@altlinux.org>).
1533	+ use EXEEXT and OBJEXT consistently in makefiles.
1534	+ amend fixes for cross-compiling to use separate executable-suffix
1535	  BUILD_EXEEXT (cf: 20031018).
1536	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for sort utility that does not
1537	  recognize key options, e.g., busybox (report by Peter S Mazinger
1538	  <ps.m@gmx.net>).
1539	+ fix potential out-of-bounds indexing in _nc_infotocap() (found by
1540	  David Krause using some of the new malloc debugging features
1541	  under OpenBSD, patch by Ted Unangst).
1542	+ modify CF_LIB_SUFFIX for Itanium releases of HP-UX, which use a
1543	  ".so" suffix (patch by Jonathan Ward <Jonathan.Ward@hp.com>).
1544
154520031025
1546	+ update terminfo for xterm-xfree86 -TD
1547	+ add check for multiple "tc=" clauses in a termcap to tic.
1548	+ check for missing op/oc in tic.
1549	+ correct _nc_resolve_uses() and _nc_merge_entry() to allow infocmp and
1550	  tic to show cancelled capabilities.  These functions were ignoring
1551	  the state of the target entry, which should be untouched if cancelled.
1552	+ correct comment in tack/output.c (Debian #215806).
1553	+ add some null-pointer checks to lib_options.c (report by Michael
1554	  Bienia).
1555	+ regenerated html documentation.
1556	+ correction to tar-copy.sh, remove a trap command that resulted in
1557	  leaving temporary files (cf: 20030510).
1558	+ remove contact/maintainer addresses for Juergen Pfeifer (his request).
1559
156020031018
1561	+ updated test/configure to reflect changes for libtool (cf: 20030830).
1562	+ fix several places in tack/pad.c which tested and used the parameter-
1563	  and parameterless strings inconsistently, i.e., in pad_rin(),
1564	  pad_il(), pad_indn() and pad_dl() (Debian #215805).
1565	+ minor fixes for configure script and makefiles to cleanup executables
1566	  generated when cross-compiling for DJGPP.
1567	+ modify infocmp to omit check for $TERM for operations that do not
1568	  require it, e.g., "infocmp -e" used to build fallback list (report by
1569	  Koblinger Egmont).
1570
157120031004
1572	+ add terminfo entries for DJGPP.
1573	+ updated note about maintainer in ncurses-intro.html
1574
157520030927
1576	+ update terminfo entries for gnome terminal.
1577	+ modify tack to reset colors after each color test, correct a place
1578	  where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode.
1579	+ improve tack's bce test by making it set colors other than black
1580	  on white.
1581	+ plug a potential recursion between napms() and _nc_timed_wait()
1582	  (report by Philippe Blain).
1583
158420030920
1585	+ add --with-rel-version option to allow workaround to allow making
1586	  libtool on Darwin generate the "same" library names as with the
1587	  --with-shared option.  The Darwin ld program does not work well
1588	  with a zero as the minor-version value (request by Chris Zubrzycki).
1589	+ modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro to work with cross-compiling.
1590	+ modify tack to allow it to run from fallback terminfo data.
1591	> patch by Philippe Blain:
1592	+ improve PutRange() by adjusting call to EmitRange() and corresponding
1593	  return-value to not emit unchanged characters on the end of the
1594	  range.
1595	+ improve a check for changed-attribute by exiting a loop when the
1596	  change is found.
1597	+ improve logic in TransformLine(), eliminating a duplicated comparison
1598	  in the clr_bol logic.
1599
160020030913
1601	> patch by Philippe Blain:
1602	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
1603	  move the label 'nonlocal' just before the second gettimeofday() to
1604	  be able to compute the diff time when 'goto nonlocal' used.
1605	  Rename 'msec' to 'microsec' in the debug-message.
1606	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
1607	  Use _nc_outch() in carriage return/newline movement instead of
1608	  putchar() which goes to stdout.  Move test for xold>0 out of loop.
1609	+ in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c,
1610	  Set the flag SP->_buffered at the end of operations when all has been
1611	  successful (typeMalloc can fail).
1612	+ simplify NC_BUFFERED macro by moving check inside _nc_setbuf().
1613
161420030906
1615	+ modify configure script to avoid using "head -1", which does not
1616	  work if POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set.
1617	+ modify run_tic.in to avoid using wrong shared libraries when
1618	  cross-compiling (Dan Kegel).
1619
162020030830
1621	+ alter configure script help message to make it clearer that
1622	  --with-build-cc does not specify a cross-compiler (suggested by Dan
1623	  Kegel <dank@kegel.com>).
1624	+ modify configure script to accommodate libtool 1.5, as well as add an
1625	  parameter to the "--with-libtool" option which can specify the
1626	  pathname of libtool (report by Chris Zubrzycki).  We note that
1627	  libtool 1.5 has more than one bug in its C++ support, so it is not
1628	  able to install libncurses++, for instance, if $DESTDIR or the option
1629	  --with-install-prefix is used.
1630
163120030823
1632	> patch by Philippe Blain:
1633	+ move assignments to SP->_cursrow, SP->_curscol into online_mvcur().
1634	+ make baudrate computation in delay_output() consistent with the
1635	  assumption in _nc_mvcur_init(), i.e., a byte is 9 bits.
1636
163720030816
1638	+ modify logic in waddch_literal() to take into account zh_TW.Big5
1639	  whose multibyte sequences may contain "printable" characters, e.g.,
1640	  a "g" in the sequence "\247g" (Debian #204889, cf: 20030621).
1641	+ improve storage used by _nc_safe_strcpy() by ensuring that the size
1642	  is reset based on the initialization call, in case it were called
1643	  after other strcpy/strcat calls (report by Philippe Blain).
1644	> patch by Philippe Blain:
1645	+ remove an unused ifdef for REAL_ATTR & WANT_CHAR
1646	+ correct a place where _cup_cost was used rather than _cuu_cost
1647
164820030809
1649	+ fix a small memory leak in _nc_free_termtype().
1650	+ close trace-file if trace() is called with a zero parameter.
1651	+ free memory allocated for soft-key strings, in delscreen().
1652	+ fix an allocation size in safe_sprintf.c for the "*" format code.
1653	+ correct safe_sprintf.c to not return a null pointer if the format
1654	  happens to be an empty string.  This applies to the "configure
1655	  --enable-safe-sprintf" option (Redhat #101486).
1656
165720030802
1658	+ modify casts used for ABSENT_BOOLEAN and CANCELLED_BOOLEAN (report by
1659	  Daniel Jacobowitz).
1660	> patch by Philippe Blain:
1661	+ change padding for change_scroll_region to not be proportional to
1662	  the size of the scroll-region.
1663	+ correct error-return in _nc_safe_strcat().
1664
166520030726
1666	+ correct limit-checks in _nc_scroll_window() (report and test-case by
1667	  Thomas Graf <graf@dms.at> cf: 20011020).
1668	+ re-order configure checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE to avoid conflict with
1669	  _GNU_SOURCE check.
1670
167120030719
1672	+ use clr_eol in preference to blanks for bce terminals, so select and
1673	  paste will have fewer trailing blanks, e.g., when using xterm
1674	  (request by Vincent Lefevre).
1675	+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
1676	+ add configure --with-abi-version option (discussion with Charles
1677	  Wilson).
1678	> cygwin changes from Charles Wilson:
1679	  + aclocal.m4: on cygwin, use autodetected prefix for import
1680	    and static lib, but use "cyg" for DLL.
1681	  + include/ncurses_dll.h: correct the comments to reflect current
1682	    status of cygwin/mingw port.  Fix compiler warning.
1683	  + misc/run_tic.in: ensure that tic.exe can find the uninstalled
1684	    DLL, by adding the lib-directory to the PATH variable.
1685	  + misc/terminfo.src (nxterm|xterm-color): make xterm-color
1686	    primary instead of nxterm, to match XFree86's xterm.terminfo
1687	    usage and to prevent circular links.
1688	    (rxvt): add additional codes from rxvt.org.
1689	    (rxvt-color): new alias
1690	    (rxvt-xpm): new alias
1691	    (rxvt-cygwin): like rxvt, but with special acsc codes.
1692	    (rxvt-cygwin-native): ditto.  rxvt may be run under XWindows, or
1693	    with a "native" MSWin GUI.	Each takes different acsc codes,
1694	    which are both different from the "normal" rxvt's acsc.
1695	    (cygwin): cygwin-in-cmd.exe window.	 Lots of fixes.
1696	    (cygwinDBG): ditto.
1697	  + mk-1st.awk: use "cyg" for the DLL prefix, but "lib" for import
1698	    and static libs.
1699
170020030712
1701	+ update config.guess, config.sub
1702	+ add triples for configuring shared libraries with the Debian
1703	  GNU/FreeBSD packages (patch by Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>).
1704
170520030705
1706	+ modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS so it only applies to gcc, not g++.  Some
1707	  platforms have installed g++ along with the native C compiler, which
1708	  would not accept gcc warning options.
1709	+ add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 when configuring with --enable-widec, to
1710	  get mbstate_t declaration on HPUX 11.11 (report by David Ellement).
1711	+ add _nc_pathlast() to get rid of casts in _nc_basename() calls.
1712	+ correct a sign-extension in wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() from
1713	  20030628 (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
1714	+ work around omission of btowc() and wctob() from wide-character
1715	  support (sic) in NetBSD 1.6 using mbtowc() and wctomb() (report by
1716	  Gabor Z Papp).
1717	+ add portability note to curs_get_wstr.3x (Debian #199957).
1718
171920030628
1720	+ rewrite wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to call waddch() and wechochar()
1721	  respectively, to avoid calling waddch_noecho() with wide-character
1722	  data, since that function assumes its input is 8-bit data.
1723	  Similarly, modify waddnwstr() to call wadd_wch().
1724	+ remove logic from waddnstr() which transformed multibyte character
1725	  strings into wide-characters.  Rewrite of waddch_literal() from
1726	  20030621 assumes its input is raw multibyte data rather than wide
1727	  characters (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
1728
172920030621
1730	+ write getyx() and related 2-return macros in terms of getcury(),
1731	  getcurx(), etc.
1732	+ modify waddch_literal() in case an application passes bytes of a
1733	  multibyte character directly to waddch().  In this case, waddch()
1734	  must reassemble the bytes into a wide-character (report by Tomohiro
1735	  Kubota <kubota@debian.org>).
1736
173720030614
1738	+ modify waddch_literal() in case a multibyte value occupies more than
1739	  two cells.
1740	+ modify PutAttrChar() to compute the number of character cells that
1741	  are used in multibyte values.  This fixes a problem displaying
1742	  double-width characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen
1743	  <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
1744	+ add a null-pointer check for result of keyname() in _tracechar()
1745	+ modify _tracechar() to work around glibc sprintf bug.
1746
174720030607
1748	+ add a call to setlocale() in cursesmain.cc, making demo display
1749	  properly in a UTF-8 locale.
1750	+ add a fallback definition in curses.priv.h for MB_LEN_MAX (prompted
1751	  by discussion with Gabor Z Papp).
1752	+ use macros NCURSES_ACS() and NCURSES_WACS() to hide cast needed to
1753	  appease -Wchar-subscript with g++ 3.3 (Debian #195732).
1754	+ fix a redefinition of $RANLIB in the configure script when libtool
1755	  is used, which broke configure on Mac OS X (report by Chris Zubrzycki
1756	  <beren@mac.com>).
1757	+ simplify ifdef for bool declaration in curses.h.in (suggested by
1758	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
1759	+ remove configure script check to allow -Wconversion for older
1760	  versions of gcc (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young).
1761
176220030531
1763	+ regenerated html manpages.
1764	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in that disabled use of __attribute__()
1765	  for g++, since recent versions implement the cases which ncurses uses
1766	  (Debian #195230).
1767	+ modify _nc_get_token() to handle a case where an entry has no
1768	  description, and capabilities begin on the same line as the entry
1769	  name.
1770	+ fix a typo in ncurses_dll.h reported by gcc 3.3.
1771	+ add an entry for key_defined.3x to man_db.renames.
1772
177320030524
1774	+ modify setcchar() to allow converting control characters to complex
1775	  characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
1776	+ add tkterm entry -TD
1777	+ modify parse_entry.c to allow a terminfo entry with a leading
1778	  2-character name (report by Don Libes).
1779	+ corrected acsc in screen.teraterm, which requires a PC-style mapping.
1780	+ fix trace statements in read_entry.c to use lseek() rather than
1781	  tell().
1782	+ fix signed/unsigned warnings from Sun's compiler (gcc should give
1783	  these warnings, but it is unpredictable).
1784	+ modify configure script to omit -Winline for gcc 3.3, since that
1785	  feature is broken.
1786	+ modify manlinks.sed to add a few functions that were overlooked since
1787	  they return function pointers:  field_init, field_term, form_init,
1788	  form_term, item_init, item_term, menu_init and menu_term.
1789
179020030517
1791	+ prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot
1792	  be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report
1793	  by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.com>).
1794	+ change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted
1795	  by Debian #192860).
1796	+ add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there
1797	  are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the
1798	  current test programs.
1799	+ corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not
1800	  convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it.
1801	+ corrections to lib_get_wstr.c:
1802	  + null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally
1803	    failed.
1804	  + map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into
1805	    key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not
1806	    mentioned in the terminfo.
1807	+ modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line
1808	  drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221).
1809
181020030510
1811	+ make typography for program options in manpages consistent (report
1812	  by Miloslav Trmac <mitr@volny.cz>).
1813	+ correct dependencies in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, so the builds with
1814	  "--srcdir" work (report by Warren L Dodge).
1815	+ correct missing definition of $(CC) in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in
1816	  (reported by Warren L Dodge <warrend@mdhost.cse.tek.com>).
1817	+ fix typos and whitespace in manpages (patch by jmc
1818	  <jmc@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl>).
1819
182020030503
1821	+ fix form_driver() cases for REQ_CLR_EOF, REQ_CLR_EOL, REQ_DEL_CHAR,
1822	  REQ_DEL_PREV and REQ_NEW_LINE, which did not ensure the cursor was at
1823	  the editing position before making modifications.
1824	+ add test/demo_forms and associated test/edit_field.c demos.
1825	+ modify test/configure.in to use test/modules for the list of objects
1826	  to compile rather than using the list of programs.
1827
182820030419
1829	+ modify logic of acsc to use the original character if no mapping is
1830	  defined, noting that Solaris does this.
1831	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to avoid using the acs_map[] array since
1832	  20021231 changes it to no longer contain information from the acsc
1833	  string.
1834	+ modify makefile rules in c++, progs, tack and test to ensure that
1835	  the compiler flags (e.g., $CFLAGS or $CCFLAGS) are used in the link
1836	  command (report by Jose Luis Rico Botella <informatica@serpis.com>).
1837	+ modify soft-key initialization to use A_REVERSE if A_STANDOUT would
1838	  not be shown when colors are used, i.e., if ncv#1 is set in the
1839	  terminfo as is done in "screen".
1840
184120030412
1842	+ add a test for slk_color(), in ncurses.c
1843	+ fix some issues reported by valgrind in the slk_set() and slk_wset()
1844	  code, from recent rewrite.
1845	+ modify ncurses 'E' test to use show previous label via slk_label(),
1846	  as in 'e' test.
1847	+ modify wide-character versions of NewChar(), NewChar2() macros to
1848	  ensure that the whole struct is initialized.
1849
185020030405
1851	+ modify setupterm() to check if the terminfo and terminal-modes have
1852	  already been read.  This ensures that it does not reinvoke
1853	  def_prog_mode() when an application calls more than one function,
1854	  such as tgetent() and initscr() (report by Olaf Buddenhagen).
1855
185620030329
1857	+ add 'E' test to ncurses.c, to exercise slk_wset().
1858	+ correct handling of carriage-return in wgetn_wstr(), used in demo of
1859	  slk_wset().
1860	+ first draft of slk_wset() function.
1861
186220030322
1863	+ improved warnings in tic when suppressing items to fit in termcap's
1864	  1023-byte limit.
1865	+ built a list in test/README showing which externals are being used
1866	  by either programs in the test-directory or via internal library
1867	  calls.
1868	+ adjust include-options in CF_ETIP_DEFINES to avoid missing
1869	  ncurses_dll.h, fixing special definitions that may be needed for
1870	  etip.h (reported by Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>).
1871
187220030315
1873	+ minor fixes for cardfile.c, to make it write the updated fields to
1874	  a file when ^W is given.
1875	+ add/use _nc_trace_bufcat() to eliminate some fixed buffer limits in
1876	  trace code.
1877
187820030308
1879	+ correct a case in _nc_remove_string(), used by define_key(), to avoid
1880	  infinite loop if the given string happens to be a substring of other
1881	  strings which are assigned to keys (report by John McCutchan).
1882	+ add key_defined() function, to tell which keycode a string is bound
1883	  to (discussion with John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org>).
1884	+ correct keybound(), which reported definitions in the wrong table,
1885	  i.e., the list of definitions which are disabled by keyok().
1886	+ modify demo_keydef.c to show the details it changes, and to check
1887	  for errors.
1888
188920030301
1890	+ restructured test/configure script, make it work for libncursesw.
1891	+ add description of link_fieldtype() to manpage (report by
1892	  L Dee Holtsclaw <dee@sunbeltsoft.com>).
1893
189420030222
1895	+ corrected ifdef's relating to configure check for wchar_t, etc.
1896	+ if the output is a socket or other non-tty device, use 1 millisecond
1897	  for the cost in mvcur; previously it was 9 milliseconds because the
1898	  baudrate was not known.
1899	+ in _nc_get_tty_mode(), initialize the TTY buffer on error, since
1900	  glibc copies uninitialized data in that case, as noted by valgrind.
1901	+ modify tput to use the same parameter analysis as tparm() does, to
1902	  provide for user-defined strings, e.g., for xterm title, a
1903	  corresponding capability might be
1904		title=\E]2;%p1%s^G,
1905	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid passing "#" tokens through the C
1906	  preprocessor.  This works around Mac OS X's preprocessor, which
1907	  insists on adding a blank on each side of the token (report/analysis
1908	  by Kevin Murphy <murphy@genome.chop.edu>).
1909
191020030215
1911	+ add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely
1912	  on preprocessor definitions.  Also work around for gcc fixinclude
1913	  bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols
1914	  apparently typedef'd.
1915	+ if database is disabled, do not generate run_tic.sh
1916	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking when termcap is read.
1917
191820030208
1919	+ add checking in tic for incomplete line-drawing character mapping.
1920	+ update configure script to reflect fix for AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL,
1921	  which is broken in autoconf 2.5x for Mac OS X 10.2.3 (report by
1922	  Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl>).
1923	+ make return value from _nc_printf_string() consistent.  Before,
1924	  depending on whether --enable-safe-sprintf was used, it might not be
1925	  cached for reallocating.
1926
192720030201
1928	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking in lib_tparm.c, hardscroll.c
1929	+ correct a potentially-uninitialized value if _read_termtype() does
1930	  not read as much data as expected (report by Wolfgang Rohdewald
1931	  <wr6@uni.de>).
1932	+ correct several places where the aclocal.m4 macros relied on cache
1933	  variable names which were incompatible (as usual) between autoconf
1934	  2.13 and 2.5x, causing the test for broken-linker to give incorrect
1935	  results (reports by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl> and Thomas Esser
1936	  <te@dbs.uni-hannover.de>).
1937	+ do not try to open gpm mouse driver if standard output is not a tty;
1938	  the gpm library does not make this check (bug report for dialog
1939	  by David Oliveira <davidoliveira@develop.prozone.ws>).
1940
194120030125
1942	+ modified emx.src to correspond more closely to terminfo.src, added
1943	  emx-base to the latter -TD
1944	+ add configure option for FreeBSD sysmouse, --with-sysmouse, and
1945	  implement support for that in lib_mouse.c, lib_getch.c
1946
194720030118
1948	+ revert 20030105 change to can_clear_with(), does not work for the
1949	  case where the update is made on cells which are blanks with
1950	  attributes, e.g., reverse.
1951	+ improve ifdef's to guard against redefinition of wchar_t and wint_t
1952	  in curses.h (report by Urs Jansen).
1953
195420030111
1955	+ improve mvcur() by checking if it is safe to move when video
1956	  attributes are set (msgr), and if not, reset/restore attributes
1957	  within that function rather than doing it separately in the GoTo()
1958	  function in tty_update.c (suggested by Philippe Blain).
1959	+ add a message in run_tic.in to explain more clearly what does not
1960	  work when attempting to create a symbolic link for /usr/lib/terminfo
1961	  on OS/2 and other platforms with no symbolic links (report by John
1962	  Polterak).
1963	+ change several sed scripts to avoid using "\+" since it is not a BRE
1964	  (basic regular expression).  One instance caused terminfo.5 to be
1965	  misformatted on FreeBSD (report by Kazuo Horikawa
1966	  <horikawa@FreeBSD.org> (see FreeBSD docs/46709)).
1967	+ correct misspelled 'wint_t' in curs_get_wch.3x (Michael Elkins).
1968
196920030105
1970	+ improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic
1971	  variables (comments by Mark I Manning IV <mark4th@earthlink.net>).
1972	+ demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to
1973	  use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a
1974	  specialized type for the middle initial/name.
1975	+ fix MKterminfo.sh, another workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature
1976	  of sed 4.0
1977	> patch by Philippe Blain:
1978	+ optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter
1979	  is indeed a "blank".
1980	+ simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear
1981	  sections as small as one line.
1982	+ improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying
1983	  to use it.
1984	+ use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since
1985	  the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines
1986	  affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region.
1987
198820021231
1989	+ rewrite of lib_acs.c conflicts with copying of SCREEN acs_map to/from
1990	  global acs_map[] array; removed the lines that did the copying.
1991
199220021228
1993	+ change some overlooked tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp()
1994	  (report by Philippe Blain).
1995	+ modify lib_getch.c to avoid recursion via wgetnstr() when the input
1996	  is not a tty and consequently mode-changes do not work (report by
1997	  <R.Chamberlin@querix.com>).
1998	+ rewrote lib_acs.c to allow PutAttrChar() to decide how to render
1999	  alternate-characters, i.e., to work with Linux console and UTF-8
2000	  locale.
2001	+ correct line/column reference in adjust_window(), needed to make
2002	  special windows such as curscr track properly when resizing (report
2003	  by Lucas Gonze <lgonze@panix.com>).
2004	> patch by Philippe Blain:
2005	+ correct the value used for blank in ClrBottom() (broken in 20000708).
2006	+ correct an off-by-one in GoTo() parameter in _nc_scrolln().
2007
200820021221
2009	+ change several tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp(), to
2010	  enable padding which may be needed for some terminals (patch by
2011	  Philippe Blain).
2012	+ use '%' as sed substitute delimiter in run_tic script to avoid
2013	  problems with pathname delimiters such as ':' and '@' (report by John
2014	  Polterak).
2015	+ implement a workaround so that line-drawing works with screen's
2016	  crippled UTF-8 support (tested with 3.9.13).  This only works with
2017	  the wide-character support (--enable-widec); the normal library will
2018	  simply suppress line-drawing when running in a UTF-8 locale in screen.
2019
202020021214
2021	+ allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
2022	  overridden from the environment.
2023	+ make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with
2024	  the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki).
2025	+ modify ncurses/modules to allow
2026		configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs
2027	  to build (report by Gary Samuelson).
2028	+ fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by
2029	  Gary Samuelson <gary.samuelson@verizon.com>).
2030	+ correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which
2031	  force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report
2032	  by Sam Varshavchik).
2033	+ small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which
2034	  gnatmake adds to its version-message.
2035	> Maciej W Rozycki <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>:
2036	+ use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross
2037	  compiling.
2038	+ use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
2039	  comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
2040	  traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.
2041	+ change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host"
2042	  when referring to the --with-build-XXX options.
2043
204420021206
2045	+ modify CF_GNAT_VERSION to print gnatmake's version, and to allow for
2046	  possible gnat versions such as 3.2 (report by Chris Lingard
2047	  <chris@stockwith.co.uk>).
2048	+ modify #define's for CKILL and other default control characters in
2049	  tset to use the system's default values if they are defined.
2050	+ correct interchanged defaults for kill and interrupt characters
2051	  in tset, which caused it to report unnecessarily (Debian #171583).
2052	+ repair check for missing C++ compiler, which is broken in autoconf
2053	  2.5x by hardcoding it to g++ (report by Martin Mokrejs).
2054	+ update config.guess, config.sub (2002-11-30)
2055	+ modify configure script to skip --with-shared, etc., when the
2056	  --with-libtool option is given, since they would be ignored anyway.
2057	+ fix to allow "configure --with-libtool --with-termlib" to build.
2058	+ modify configure script to show version number of libtool, to help
2059	  with bug reports.  libtool still gets confused if the installed
2060	  ncurses libraries are old, since it ignores the -L options at some
2061	  point (tested with libtool 1.3.3 and 1.4.3).
2062	+ reorder configure script's updating of $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to
2063	  prevent -I options in the user's environment from introducing
2064	  conflicts with the build -I options (may be related to reports by
2065	  Patrick Ash and George Goffe).
2066	+ rename test/define_key.c to test/demo_defkey.c, test/keyok.c to
2067	  test/demo_keyok.c to allow building these with libtool.
2068
206920021123
2070	+ add example program test/define_key.c for define_key().
2071	+ add example program test/keyok.c for keyok().
2072	+ add example program test/ins_wide.c for wins_wch() and wins_wstr().
2073	+ modify wins_wch() and wins_wstr() to interpret tabs by using the
2074	  winsch() internal function.
2075	+ modify setcchar() to allow for wchar_t input strings that have
2076	  more than one spacing character.
2077
207820021116
2079	+ fix a boundary check in lib_insch.c (patch by Philippe Blain).
2080	+ change type for *printw functions from NCURSES_CONST to const
2081	  (prompted by comment by Pedro Palhoto Matos <plpm@mega.ist.utl.pt>,
2082	  but really from a note on X/Open's website stating that either is
2083	  acceptable, and the latter will be used in a future revision).
2084	+ add xterm-1002, xterm-1003 terminfo entries to demonstrate changes in
2085	  lib_mouse.c (20021026) -TD
2086	+ add screen-bce, screen-s entries from screen 3.9.13 (report by
2087	  Adam Lazur <zal@debian.org>) -TD
2088	+ add mterm terminfo entries -TD
2089
209020021109
2091	+ split-out useful fragments in terminfo for vt100 and vt220 numeric
2092	  keypad, i.e., vt100+keypad, vt100+pfkeys, vt100+fnkeys and
2093	  vt220+keypad.  The last as embedded in various entries had ka3 and
2094	  kb2 interchanged (report/discussion with Leonard den Ottolander
2095	  <leonardjo@hetnet.nl>).
2096	+ add check in tic for keypads consistent with vt100 layout.
2097	+ improve checks in tic for color capabilities
2098
209920021102
2100	+ check for missing/empty/illegal terminfo name in _nc_read_entry()
2101	  (report by Martin Mokrejs, where $TERM was set to an empty string).
2102	+ rewrote lib_insch.c, combining it with lib_insstr.c so both handle
2103	  tab and other control characters consistently (report by Philippe
2104	  Blain).
2105	+ remove an #undef for KEY_EVENT from curses.tail used in the
2106	  experimental NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS feature.  The #undef confuses
2107	  dpkg's build script (Debian #165897).
2108	+ fix MKlib_gen.sh, working around the ironically named POSIXLY_CORRECT
2109	  feature of GNU sed 4.0 (reported by Ervin Nemeth <airwin@inf.bme.hu>).
2110
211120021026
2112	+ implement logic in lib_mouse.c to handle position reports which are
2113	  generated when XFree86 xterm is initialized with private modes 1002
2114	  or 1003.  These are returned to the application as the
2115	  REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION mask, which was not implemented.  Tested both
2116	  with ncurses 'a' menu (prompted by discussion with Larry Riedel
2117	  <Larry@Riedel.org>).
2118	+ modify lib_mouse.c to look for "XM" terminfo string, which allows
2119	  one to override the escape sequence used to enable/disable mouse
2120	  mode.  In particular this works for XFree86 xterm private modes
2121	  1002 and 1003.  If "XM" is missing (note that this is an extended
2122	  name), lib_mouse uses the conventional private mode 1000.
2123	+ correct NOT_LOCAL() macro in lib_mvcur.c to refer to screen_columns
2124	  where it used screen_lines (report by Philippe Blain).
2125	+ correct makefile rules for the case when both --with-libtool and
2126	  --with-gpm are given (report by Mr E_T <troll@logi.net.au>).
2127	+ add note to terminfo manpage regarding the differences between
2128	  setaf/setab and setf/setb capabilities (report by Pavel Roskin).
2129
213020021019
2131	+ remove redundant initialization of TABSIZE in newterm(), since it is
2132	  already done in setupterm() (report by Philippe Blain).
2133	+ add test/inserts.c, to test winnstr() and winsch().
2134	+ replace 'sort' in dist.mk with script that sets locale to POSIX.
2135	+ update URLs in announce.html.in (patch by Frederic L W Meunier).
2136	+ remove glibc add-on files, which are no longer needed (report by
2137	  Frederic L W Meunier).
2138
213920021012 5.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
2140	+ modify ifdef's in etip.h.in to allow the etip.h header to compile
2141	  with gcc 3.2 (patch by Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy@is-vn.bg>).
2142	+ add logic to setupterm() to make it like initscr() and newterm(),
2143	  by checking for $NCURSES_TRACE environment variable and enabling
2144	  the debug trace in that case.
2145	+ modify setupterm() to ensure that it initializes the baudrate, for
2146	  applications such as tput (report by Frank Henigman).
2147	+ modify definition of bits used for command-line and library debug
2148	  traces to avoid overlap, using new definition TRACE_SHIFT to relate
2149	  the two.
2150	+ document tput's interpretation of parameterized strings according to
2151	  whether parameters are given, etc. (discussion with Robert De Bath).
2152
215320021005 pre-release
2154	+ correct winnwstr() to account for non-character cells generated when
2155	  a double-width character is added (report by Michael Bienia
2156	  <michael@vorlon.ping.de>).
2157	+ modify _nc_viswbuf2n() to provide better results using wctomb().
2158	+ correct logic in _nc_varargs() which broke tracing of parameters for
2159	  formats such as "%.*s".
2160	+ correct scale factor in linux-c and linux-c-nc terminfo entries
2161	  (report Floyd Davidson).
2162	+ change tic -A option to -t, add the same option to infocmp for
2163	  consistency.
2164	+ correct "%c" implementation in lib_tparm.c, which did not map a null
2165	  character to a 128 (cf: 980620) (patch by Frank Henigman
2166	  <fjhenigman@mud.cgl.uwaterloo.ca>).
2167
216820020928 pre-release
2169	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for POSIX sort -k option, use that if
2170	  it is found, to accommodate newer utility which dropped the
2171	  compatibility support for +number options (reported by Andrey A
2172	  Chernov).
2173	+ modify linux terminfo entry to use color palette feature from
2174	  linux-c-nc entry (comments by Tomasz Wasiak and Floyd Davidson).
2175	+ restore original color definitions in endwin() if init_color() was
2176	  used, and resume those colors on the next doupdate() or refresh()
2177	  (report by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@komputom.com.pl>).
2178	+ improve debug-traces by modifying MKlib_gen.sh to generate calls
2179	  to returnBool() and returnAttr().
2180	+ add/use _nc_visbufn() and _nc_viswbufn() to limit the debug trace
2181	  of waddnstr() and similar functions to match the parameters as used.
2182	+ add/use _nc_retrace_bool() and _nc_retrace_unsigned().
2183	+ correct type used by _nc_retrace_chtype().
2184	+ add debug traces to some functions in lib_mouse.c
2185	+ modify lib_addch.c to handle non-spacing characters.
2186	+ correct parameter of RemAttr() in lib_bkgd.c, which caused the c++
2187	  demo's boxes to lose the A_ALTCHARSET flag (broken in 20020629).
2188	+ correct width computed in _tracedump(), which did not account for
2189	  the attributes (broken in 20010602).
2190	+ modify test/tracemunch to replace addresses for windows other than
2191	  curscr, newscr and stdscr with window0, window1, etc.
2192
219320020921 pre-release
2194	+ redid fix for edit_man.sed path.
2195	+ workaround for Cygwin bug which makes subprocess writes to stdout
2196	  result in core dump.
2197	+ documented getbegx(), etc.
2198	+ minor fixes to configure script to use '%' consistently as a sed
2199	  delimiter rather than '@'.
2200	> patch by Philippe Blain:
2201	+ add check in lib_overlay.c to ensure that the windows to be merged
2202	  actually overlap, and in copywin(), limit the area to be touched
2203	  to the lines given for the destination window.
2204
220520020914 pre-release
2206	+ modified curses.h so that if the wide-character version is installed
2207	  overwriting /usr/include/curses.h, and if it relied on libutf8.h,
2208	  then applications that use that header for wide-character support
2209	  must define HAVE_LIBUTF8_H.
2210	+ modify putwin(), getwin() and dupwin() to allow them to operate on
2211	  pads (request by Philippe Blain).
2212	+ correct attribute-merging in wborder(), broken in 20020216 (report
2213	  by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@grubasek.komputom.com.pl>).
2214	> patch by Philippe Blain:
2215	+ corrected pop-counts in tparam_internal() to '!' and '~' cases.
2216	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in one place that used sizeof(chtype).
2217	+ remove some unused variables from mvcur test-driver.
2218
221920020907 pre-release
2220	+ change configure script to allow install of widec-character
2221	  (ncursesw) headers to overwrite normal (ncurses) headers, since the
2222	  latter is a compatible subset of the former.
2223	+ fix path of edit_man.sed in configure script, needed to regenerate
2224	  html manpages on Debian.
2225	+ fix mismatched enums in vsscanf.c, which caused warning on Solaris.
2226	+ update README.emx to reflect current patch used for autoconf.
2227	+ change web- and ftp-site to invisible-island.net
2228	> patch by Philippe Blain:
2229	+ change case for 'P' in tparam_internal() to indicate that it pops
2230	  a variable from the stack.
2231	+ correct sense of precision and width in parse_format(), to avoid
2232	  confusion.
2233	+ modify lib_tparm.c, absorb really_get_space() into get_space().
2234	+ modify getwin() and dupwin() to copy the _notimeout, _idlok and
2235	  _idcok window fields.
2236	+ better fix for _nc_set_type(), using typeMalloc().
2237
223820020901 pre-release
2239	+ change minor version to 3, i.e., ncurses 5.3
2240	+ update config.guess, config.sub
2241	+ retest build with each configure option; minor ifdef fixes.
2242	+ make keyname() return a null pointer rather than "UNKNOWN STRING" to
2243	  match XSI.
2244	+ modify handling of wide line-drawing character functions to use the
2245	  normal line-drawing characters when not in UTF-8 locale.
2246	+ add check/fix to comp_parse.c to suppress warning about missing acsc
2247	  string.  This happens in configurations where raw termcap information
2248	  is processed; tic already does this and other checks.
2249	+ modify tic's check for ich/ich1 versus rmir/smir to only warn about
2250	  ich1, to match xterm patch #70 notes.
2251	+ moved information for ripped-off lines into SCREEN struct to allow
2252	  use in resizeterm().
2253	+ add experimental wgetch_events(), ifdef'd with NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
2254	  (adapted from patch by Ilya Zakharevich - see ncurses/README.IZ).
2255	+ amend check in kgetch() from 20020824 to look only for function-keys,
2256	  otherwise escape sequences are not resolved properly.
2257	> patch by Philippe Blain:
2258	+ removed redundant assignment to SP->_checkfd from newterm().
2259	+ check return-value of setupterm() in restartterm().
2260	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in a few places that used sizeof(chtype).
2261	+ prevent dupwin() from duplicating a pad.
2262	+ prevent putwin() from writing a pad.
2263	+ use typeRealloc() or typeMalloc() in preference to direct calls on
2264	  _nc_doalloc().
2265
226620020824
2267	+ add a check in kgetch() for cooked characters in the fifo to avoid
2268	  calling fifo_push() when a KEY_RESIZE is available (report/analysis
2269	  by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>).
2270	+ fix an overlooked case for bugzilla #68199 (Philippe Blain).
2271	+ ensure clearerr() is called before using ferror() e.g., in
2272	  lib_screen.c (report by Philippe Blain).
2273
227420020817
2275	+ modify lib_screen.c and lib_newwin.c to maintain the SCREEN-specific
2276	  pointers for curscr/stdscr/newscr when scr_save() and scr_restore()
2277	  modify the global curscr/stdscr/newscr variables.  Fixes Redhat
2278	  bugzilla #68199 dated 2002-07-07.
2279	+ add checks for null pointer in calls to tparm() and tgoto() based on
2280	  FreeBSD bug report.  If ncurses were built with termcap support, and
2281	  the first call to tgoto() were a zero-length string, the result would
2282	  be a null pointer, which was not handled properly.
2283	+ correct a typo in terminfo.head, which gave the octal code for colon
2284	  rather than comma.
2285	+ remove the "tic -u" option from 20020810, since it did not account
2286	  for nested "tc=" clauses, and when that was addressed, was still
2287	  unsatisfactory.
2288
228920020810
2290	+ add tic -A option to suppress capabilities which are commented out
2291	  when translating to termcap.
2292	+ add tic -u option to provide older behavior of "tc=" clauses.
2293	+ modified tic to expand all but the final "tc=" clause in a termcap
2294	  entry, to accommodate termcap libraries which do not handle multiple
2295	  tc clauses.
2296	+ correct typo in curs_inopts.3x regarding CS8/CS7 usage (report by
2297	  Philippe Blain).
2298	+ remove a couple of redundant uses of A_ATTRIBUTES in expressions
2299	  using AttrOf(), which already incorporates that mask (report by
2300	  Philippe Blain).
2301	+ document TABSIZE variable.
2302	+ add NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS environment variable, to allow users to
2303	  override compiled-in default black-on-white assumption used in
2304	  assume_default_colors().
2305	+ correct an off-by-one comparison against max_colors in COLORFGBG
2306	  logic.
2307	+ correct a use of uninitialized memory found by valgrind (reported by
2308	  Olaf Buddenhagen <olafBuddenhagen@web.de>).
2309	+ modified wresize() to ensure that a failed realloc will not corrupt
2310	  the window structure, and to make subwindows fit within the resized
2311	  window (completes Debian #87678, #101699)
2312
231320020803
2314	+ fix an off-by-one in lib_pad.c check for limits of pad (patch by
2315	  Philippe Blain).
2316	+ revise logic for BeOS in lib_twait.c altered in 20011013 to restore
2317	  logic used by lib_getch.c's support for GPM or EMX mouse (report by
2318	  Philippe Blain)
2319	+ remove NCURSES_CONST from several prototypes in curses.wide, to make
2320	  the --enable-const --enable-widec configure options to work together
2321	  (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@yahoo.com>).
2322
232320020727
2324	+ finish no-leak checking in cardfile.c, using this for testing changes
2325	  to resizeterm().
2326	+ simplify _nc_freeall() using delscreen().
2327
232820020720
2329	+ check error-return from _nc_set_tty_mode() in _nc_initscr() and
2330	  reset_prog_mode() (report/patch by Philippe Blain).
2331	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52, to address
2332	  problem with identifying C++ bool type.
2333	+ correct/improve logic to produce an exit status for errors in tput,
2334	  which did not exit with an error when told to put a string not in the
2335	  current terminfo entry (report by David Gomez <david@pleyades.net>).
2336	+ modify configure script AC_OUTPUT() call to work around defect in
2337	  autoconf 2.52 which adds an ifdef'd include to the generated
2338	  configure definitions.
2339	+ remove fstat() check from scr_init(), which also fixes a missing
2340	  include for <sys/stat.h> from 20020713 (reported by David Ellement,
2341	  fix suggested by Philippe Blain).
2342	+ update curs_scanw.3x manpage to note that XSI curses differs from
2343	  SVr4 curses: return-values are incompatible.
2344	+ correct several prototypes in manpages which used const
2345	  inconsistently with the curses.h file, and removed spurious const's
2346	  in a few places from curses.h, e.g., for wbkgd() (report by Glenn
2347	  Maynard <glenn@zewt.org>).
2348	+ change internal type used by tparm() to long, to work with LP64 model.
2349	+ modify nc_alloc.h to allow building with g++, for testing.
2350
235120020713
2352	+ add resize-handling to cardfile.c test program.
2353	+ altered resizeterm() to avoid having it fail when a child window
2354	  cannot be resized because it would be larger than its parent.  (More
2355	  work must be done on this, but it works well enough to integrate).
2356	+ improve a limit-check in lib_refresh.c
2357	+ remove check in lib_screen.c relating dumptime to file's modification
2358	  times, since that would not necessarily work for remotely mounted
2359	  filesystems.
2360	+ modify lrtest to simplify debugging changes to resizeterm, e.g.,
2361	  t/T commands to enable/disable tracing.
2362	+ updated status of multibyte support in TO-DO.
2363	+ update contact info in source-files (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
2364
236520020706
2366	+ add Caps.hpux11, as an example.
2367	+ modify version_filter(), used to implement -R option for tic and
2368	  infocmp, to use computed array offsets based on the Caps.* file which
2369	  is actually configured, rather than constants which correspond to
2370	  the Caps file.
2371	+ reorganized lib_raw.c to avoid updating SP and cur_term state if the
2372	  functions fail (reported by Philippe Blain).
2373	+ add -Wundef to gcc warnings, adjust a few ifdef's to accommodate gcc.
2374
237520020629
2376	+ correct parameters to setcchar() in ncurses.c (cf: 20020406).
2377	+ set locale in most test programs (view.c and ncurses.c were the
2378	  only ones).
2379	+ add configure option --with-build-cppflags (report by Maksim A
2380	  Nikulin <M.A.Nikulin@inp.nsk.su>).
2381	+ correct a typo in wide-character logic for lib_bkgnd.c (Philippe
2382	  Blain).
2383	+ modify lib_wacs.c to not cancel the acsc, smacs, rmacs strings when
2384	  in UTF-8 locale.  Wide-character functions use Unicode values, while
2385	  narrow-character functions use the terminfo data.
2386	+ fix a couple of places in Ada95/samples which did not compile with
2387	  gnat 3.14
2388	+ modify mkinstalldirs so the DOS-pathname case is locale-independent.
2389	+ fix locale problem in MKlib_gen.sh by forcing related variables to
2390	  POSIX (C), using same approach as autoconf (set variables only if
2391	  they were set before).  Update MKterminfo.sh and MKtermsort.sh to
2392	  match.
2393
239420020622
2395	+ add charset to generated html.
2396	+ add mvterm entry, adapted from a FreeBSD bug-report by Daniel Rudy
2397	  <dcrudy@pacbell.net> -TD
2398	+ add rxvt-16color, ibm+16color entries -TD
2399	+ modify check in --disable-overwrite option so that it is used by
2400	  default unless the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr, in attempt to
2401	  work around packagers, e.g., for Sun's freeware, who do not read the
2402	  INSTALL notes.
2403
240420020615
2405	+ modify wgetch() to allow returning ungetch'd KEY_RESIZE as a function
2406	  key code in get_wch().
2407	+ extended resize-handling in test/ncurses 'a' menu to the entire
2408	  stack of windows created with 'w' commands.
2409	+ improve $COLORFGBG feature by interpreting an out-of-range color
2410	  value as an SGR 39 or 49, for foreground/background respectively.
2411	+ correct a typo in configure --enable-colorfgbg option, and move it
2412	  to the experimental section (cf: 20011208).
2413
241420020601
2415	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to remove function-key definitions that do
2416	  not fit into the 1023-byte limit for generated termcaps.  This makes
2417	  hds200 fit.
2418	+ more improvements to tic's warnings, including logic to ignore
2419	  differences between delay values in sgr strings.
2420	+ move definition of KEY_RESIZE into MKkeydefs.sh script, to
2421	  accommodate Caps.osf1r5 which introduced a conflicting definition.
2422
242320020525
2424	+ add simple resize-handling in test/ncurses.c 'a' menu.
2425	+ fixes in keyname() and _tracechar() to handle negative values.
2426	+ make tic's warnings about mismatches in sgr strings easier to follow.
2427	+ correct tic checks for number of parameters in smgbp and smglp.
2428	+ improve scoansi terminfo entry, and add scoansi-new entry -TD
2429	+ add pcvt25-color terminfo entry -TD
2430	+ add kf13-kf48 strings to cons25w terminfo entry (reported by Stephen
2431	  Hurd <deuce@lordlegacy.org> in newsgroup lucky.freebsd.bugs) -TD
2432	+ add entrypoint _nc_trace_ttymode(), use this to distinguish the
2433	  Ottyb and Nttyb members of terminal (aka cur_term), for tracing.
2434
243520020523
2436	+ correct and simplify logic for lib_pad.c change in 20020518 (reported
2437	  by Mike Castle).
2438
243920020518
2440	+ fix lib_pad.c for case of drawing a double-width character which
2441	  falls off the left margin of the pad (patch by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij
2442	  <lerdsuwa@users.sourceforge.net>)
2443	+ modify configure script to work around broken gcc 3.1 "--version"
2444	  option, which adds unnecessary trash to the requested information.
2445	+ adjust ifdef's in case SIGWINCH is not defined, e.g., with DJGPP
2446	  (reported by Ben Decker <deckerben@freenet.de>).
2447
244820020511
2449	+ implement vid_puts(), vid_attr(), term_attrs() based on the narrow-
2450	  character versions as well.
2451	+ implement erasewchar(), killwchar() based on erasechar() and
2452	  killchar().
2453	+ modify erasechar() and killchar() to return ERR if the value was
2454	  VDISABLE.
2455	+ correct a bug in wresize() in handling subwindows (based on patch by
2456	  Roger Gammans <rgammans@computer-surgery.co.uk>, report by Scott Beck
2457	  <scott@gossamer-threads.com>).
2458	+ improve test/tclock.c by making the second-hand update more often
2459	  if gettimeofday() is available.
2460
246120020429
2462	+ workaround for Solaris sed with MKlib_gen.sh (reported by Andy
2463	  Tsouladze <andyt@mypoints.com>).
2464
246520020427
2466	+ correct return-value from getcchar(), making it consistent with
2467	  Solaris and Tru64.
2468	+ reorder loops that generate makefile rules for different models vs
2469	  subsets so configure --with-termlib works again.  This was broken by
2470	  logic added to avoid duplicate rules in changes to accommodate cygwin
2471	  dll's (reported by George.R.Goffe@seagate.com).
2472	+ update config.guess, config.sub
2473
247420020421
2475	+ modify ifdef's in write_entry.c to allow use of symbolic links on
2476	  platforms with no hard links, e.g., BeOS.
2477	+ modify a few includes to allow compile with BeOS, which has stdbool.h
2478	  with a conflicting definition for 'bool' versus its OS.h definition.
2479	+ amend MKlib_gen.sh to work with gawk, which defines 'func' as an
2480	  alias for 'function'.
2481
248220020420
2483	+ correct form of prototype for ripoffline().
2484	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to test that all functions marked as implemented
2485	  can be linked.
2486
248720020413
2488	+ add manpages: curs_get_wstr.3x, curs_in_wchstr.3x
2489	+ implement wgetn_wstr().
2490	+ implement win_wchnstr().
2491	+ remove redefinition of unget_wch() in lib_gen.c (reported by
2492	  Jungshik Shin <jshin@jtan.com>).
2493
249420020406
2495	+ modified several of the test programs to allow them to compile with
2496	  vendor curses implementations, e.g., Solaris, AIX -TD
2497
249820020323
2499	+ modified test/configure to allow configuring against ncursesw.
2500	+ change WACS_xxx definition to use address, to work like Tru64 curses.
2501
250220020317
2503	+ add 'e' and 'm' toggles to 'a', 'A' tests in ncurses.c to demonstrate
2504	  effect of echo/noecho and meta modes.
2505	+ add 'A' test to ncurses.c to demonstrate wget_wch() and related
2506	  functions.
2507	+ add manpage: curs_get_wch.3x
2508	+ implement unget_wch().
2509	+ implement wget_wch().
2510
251120020310
2512	+ regenerated html manpages.
2513	+ add manpages: curs_in_wch.3x, curs_ins_wch.3x, curs_ins_wstr.3x
2514	+ implement wins_wch().
2515	+ implement win_wch().
2516	+ implement wins_nwstr(), wins_wstr().
2517
251820020309
2519	+ add manpages: curs_addwstr.3x, curs_winwstr.3x
2520	+ implement winnwstr(), winwstr().
2521
252220020223
2523	+ add manpages: curs_add_wchstr.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x
2524	+ document wunctrl, key_name.
2525	+ implement key_name().
2526	+ remove const's in lib_box.c incorrectly leftover after splitting off
2527	  lib_box_set.c
2528	+ update llib-lncurses, llib-ncursesw, fix configure script related to
2529	  these.
2530
253120020218
2532	+ remove quotes on "SYNOPSIS" in man/curs_box_set.3x, which resulted
2533	  in spurious symlinks on install.
2534
253520020216
2536	+ implement whline_set(), wvline_set(), add manpage curs_border_set.
2537	+ add subtest 'b' to 'F' and 'f' in ncurses.c to demonstrate use of
2538	  box() and box_set() functions.
2539	+ add subtest 'u' to 'F' in ncurses.c, to demonstrate use of addstr()
2540	  given UTF-8 string equivalents of WACS_xxx symbols.
2541	+ minor fixes to several manpages based on groff -ww output.
2542	+ add descriptions of external variables of termcap interface to
2543	  the manpage (report by Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au>).
2544	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
2545	+ correct configure option --with-bool, which was executed as
2546	  --with-ospeed.
2547	+ add quotes for parameters of --with-bool and --with-ospeed configure
2548	  options.
2549	> patch by Sven Verdoolaege (report by Gerhard Haering
2550	  <haering_linux@gmx.de>):
2551	+ correct typos in definitions of several wide-character macros:
2552	  waddwstr, wgetbkgrnd, mvaddwstr, mvwadd_wchnstr, mvwadd_wchnstr,
2553	  mvwaddwstr.
2554	+ pass $(CPPFLAGS) to MKlib_gen.sh, thereby fixing a missing definition
2555	  of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, e.g., on Solaris
2556
255720020209
2558	+ implement wide-acs characters for UTF-8 locales.  When in UTF-8
2559	  locale, ignore narrow version of acs.  Add 'F' test to test/ncurses.c
2560	  to demonstrate.
2561	+ correct prototype in keybound manpage (noted from a Debian mailing
2562	  list item).
2563
256420020202
2565	+ add several cases to the wscanw() example in testcurs.c, showing the
2566	  format.
2567	+ implement a simple vsscanf() fallback function which uses the %n
2568	  conversion to help parse the input data (prompted by discussion with
2569	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
2570	+ modify mk-1st.awk and test/Makefile.in to add $(LDFLAGS) when making
2571	  shared libraries, and to use $(CFLAGS) when linking test programs
2572	  (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
2573	+ add a call to _nc_keypad() in keypad() to accommodate applications
2574	  such as nvi, which use curses for output but not for input (fixes
2575	  Debian #131263, cf: 20011215).
2576	+ add entrypoints to resizeterm.c which provide better control over the
2577	  process:  is_term_resized() and resize_term().  The latter restores
2578	  the original design of resizeterm() before KEY_RESIZE was added in
2579	  970906.  Do this to accommodate 20010922 changes to view.c, but allow
2580	  for programs with their own sigwinch handler, such as lynx (reported
2581	  by Russell Ruby <russ@math.orst.edu>).
2582
258320020127
2584	+ fix a typo in change to mk-1st.awk, which broke the shared-library
2585	  makefile rules (reported by Martin Mokrejs).
2586
258720020126
2588	+ update config.guess, config.sub
2589	+ finish changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
2590	+ fix a typo in mvwchat() macro (reported by Cy <yam@homerow.net).
2591
259220020119
2593	+ add case in lib_baudrate.c for B921600 (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
2594	+ correct missing sed-editing stage in manpage installs which is used
2595	  to rename manpages, broken in 20010324 fix for Debian #89939 (Debian
2596	  #78866).
2597	+ remove -L$(libdir) from linker flags, probably not needed any more
2598	  since HPUX is handled properly (reported by Niibe Yutaka
2599	  <gniibe@m17n.org>).
2600	+ add configure check for mbstate_t, needed for wide-character
2601	  configuration.  On some platforms we must include <wchar.h> to
2602	  define this (reported by Daniel Jacobowitz).
2603	+ incorporate some of the changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
2604
260520020112a
2606	+ workaround for awk did not work with mawk, adjusted shell script.
2607
260820020112
2609	+ add Caps.osf1r5, as an example.
2610	+ modify behavior of can_clear_with() so that if an application is
2611	  running in a non-bce terminals with default colors enabled, it
2612	  returns true, allowing the user to select/paste text without picking
2613	  up extraneous trailing blanks (adapted from patch by Daniel
2614	  Jacobowitz <dmj+@andrew.cmu.edu>).
2615	+ modify generated curses.h to ifdef-out prototypes for extensions if
2616	  they are disabled, and to define curses_version() as a string in that
2617	  case.  This is needed to make the programs such as tic build in that
2618	  configuration.
2619	+ modified generated headers.sh to remove a gzip'd version of the
2620	  target file if it exists, in case non-gzip'd manpages are installed
2621	  into a directory where gzip'd ones exist.  In that case, the latter
2622	  would be found.
2623	+ corrected a redundant initialization of signal handlers from 20010922
2624	  changes.
2625	+ clarified bug-reporting address in terminfo.src (report by John H
2626	  DuBois III <spcecdt@armory.com>).
2627	> several fixes from Robert Joop:
2628	+ do not use "-v" option of awk in MKkey_defs.sh because it does not
2629	  work with SunOS nawk.
2630	+ modify definitions for libutf8 in curses.h to avoid redefinition
2631	  warnings for mblen
2632	+ quoted references to compiler in shell command in misc/Makefile, in
2633	  case it uses multiple tokens.
2634
263520011229
2636	+ restore special case from 20010922 changes to omit SA_RESTART when
2637	  setting up SIGWINCH handler, which is needed to allow wgetch() to be
2638	  interrupted by that signal.
2639	+ update configure macro CF_WITH_PATHLIST, to omit some double quotes
2640	  not needed with autoconf 2.52
2641	+ revert configure script to autoconf 2.13 patched with
2642		autoconf-2.13-19990117.patch.gz (or later)
2643	  from
2644		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
2645	  because autoconf 2.52 macro AC_PROG_AWK does not work on HPUX 11.0
2646	  (report by David Ellement <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).  This also fixes a
2647	  different problem configuring with Mac OS X (reported by Marc Smith
2648	  <marc.a.smith@home.com>).
2649
265020011222
2651	+ modify include/edit_cfg.h to eliminate BROKEN_LINKER symbol from
2652	  term.h
2653	+ move prototype for _nc_vsscanf() into curses.h.in to omit
2654	  HAVE_VSSCANF symbol from curses.h, which was dependent upon the
2655	  ncurses_cfg.h file which is not installed.
2656	+ use ACS_LEN rather than SIZEOF(acs_map) in trace code of lib_acs.c,
2657	  to work with broken linker configuration, e.g., cygwin (report by
2658	  Robert Joop <rj@rainbow.in-berlin.de>).
2659	+ make napms() call _nc_timed_wait() rather than poll() or select(),
2660	  to work around broken implementations of these on cygwin.
2661
266220011218
2663	+ drop configure macro CF_WIDEC_SHIFT, since that was rendered obsolete
2664	  by Sven Verdoolaege's rewrite of wide-character support.  This makes
2665	  libncursesw incompatible again, but makes the header files almost the
2666	  same as in the narrow-character configuration.
2667	+ simplify definitions that combine wide/narrow versions of bkgd, etc.,
2668	  to eliminate differences between the wide/narrow versions of curses.h
2669	+ correct typo in configure macro CF_FUNC_VSSCANF
2670	+ correct location of call to _nc_keypad() from 20011215 changes which
2671	  prevented keypad() from being disabled (reported by Lars Hecking).
2672
267320011215
2674	+ rewrote ncurses 'a' test to exercise wgetch() and keypad() functions
2675	  better, e.g., by adding a 'w' command to create new windows which
2676	  may have different keypad() settings.
2677	+ corrected logic of keypad() by adding internal screen state to track
2678	  whether the terminal's keypad-mode has been set.  Use this in
2679	  wgetch() to update the keypad-mode according to whether the
2680	  associated window's keypad-mode has been set with keypad().  This
2681	  corrects a related problem restoring terminal state after handling
2682	  SIGTSTP (reported by Mike Castle).
2683	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52
2684		autoconf-2.52-patch.gz
2685	  at
2686		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
2687	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
2688		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
2689	+ minor changes to quoting in configure script to allow it to work
2690	  with autoconf 2.52
2691
269220011208
2693	+ modify final checks in lib_setup.c for line and col values, making
2694	  them independent.
2695	+ modify acs_map[] if configure --broken-linker is specified, to make
2696	  it use a function rather than an array (prompted by an incorrect
2697	  implementation in cygwin package).
2698	+ correct spelling of configure option --enable-colorfgbg, which
2699	  happened to work if --with-develop was set (noted in cygwin package
2700	  for ncurses).
2701	+ modify ifdef for genericerror() to compile with SUNWspro Sun WorkShop
2702	  6 update 1 C++ 5.2 (patch by Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>).
2703	+ add configure checks to see if ncurses' fallback vsscanf() will
2704	  compile either of the special cases for FILE structs, and if not,
2705	  force it to the case which simply returns an error (report by
2706	  Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu> indicates that Solaris 8 with
2707	  64-bits does not allow access to FILE's fields).
2708	+ modify ifdef's for c++/cursesw.cc to use the fallback vsscanf() in
2709	  the ncurses library if no better substitute for this can be found
2710	  in the C++ runtime.
2711	+ modify the build to name dynamic libraries according to the
2712	  convention used on OS X and Darwin.  Rather than something like
2713	  libncurses.dylib.5.2, Darwin would name it libncurses.  5.dylib.
2714	  There are a few additional minor fixes, such as setting the library
2715	  version and compatibility version numbers (patch by Jason Evans
2716	  <jevans@apple.com>).
2717	+ use 'sh' to run mkinstalldirs, to work around problems with buggy
2718	  versions of 'make' on OS/2 (report by John Polterak <jp@eyup.org>).
2719	+ correct typo in manpage description of curs_set() (Debian #121548).
2720	+ replace the configure script existence-check for mkstemp() by one
2721	  that checks if the function works, needed for older glibc and
2722	  AmigaOS.
2723
272420011201
2725	+ modify script that generates fallbacks.c to compile a temporary
2726	  copy of the terminfo source in case the host does not contain all of
2727	  the entries requested for fallbacks (request by Greg Roelofs).
2728	+ modify configure script to accommodate systems such as Mac OS X whose
2729	  <stdbool.h> header defines a 'bool' type inconsistent with ncurses,
2730	  which normally makes 'bool' consistent with C++.  Include <stdbool.h>
2731	  from curses.h to force consistent usage, define a new type
2732	  NCURSES_BOOL and related that to the exported 'bool' as either a
2733	  typedef or definition, according to whether <stdbool.h> is present
2734	  (based on a bug report for tin 1.5.9 by Aaron Adams <adamsa@mac.com>).
2735
273620011124
2737	+ added/updated terminfo entries for M$ telnet and KDE konsole -TD
2738
273920011117
2740	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
2741	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
2742	+ add putty terminfo entry -TD
2743	+ if configuring for wide-curses, define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, since
2744	  this may not otherwise be defined to make test/view.c compile.
2745
274620011110
2747	+ review/correct several missing/generated items in curses.wide, sorted
2748	  the lists to make subsequent diff's easier to track.
2749
275020011103
2751	+ add manual pages for add_wch(), echo_wchar(), getcchar(),
2752	  mvadd_wch(), mvwadd_wch(), setcchar(), wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar().
2753	+ implement wecho_wchar()
2754	+ modify _tracedump() to handle wide-characters by mapping them to '?'
2755	  and control-characters to '.', to make the trace file readable.  Also
2756	  dynamically allocate the buffer used by _tracedump() for formatting
2757	  the results.
2758	+ modify T_CALLED/T_RETURN macros to ease balancing call/return lines
2759	  in a trace by using curly braces.
2760	+ implement _nc_viscbuf(), for tracing cchar_t arrays.
2761	+ correct trace-calls in setcchar() and getcchar() functions, which
2762	  traced the return values but not the entry to each function.
2763	+ correct usage message in test/view.c, which still mentioned -u flag.
2764
276520011027
2766	+ modify configure script to allow building with termcap only, or with
2767	  fallbacks only.  In this case, we do not build tic and toe.
2768	+ add configure --with-termpath option, to override default TERMPATH
2769	  value of /etc/termcap:/usr/share/misc/termcap.
2770	+ cosmetic change to tack: make menu descriptions agree with menu
2771	  titles.
2772
277320011020
2774	+ rewrote limit-checks in wscrl() and associated _nc_scroll_window(),
2775	  to ensure that if the parameter of wscrl() is larger than the size of
2776	  the scrolling region, then the scrolling region will be cleared
2777	  (report by Ben Kohlen <bckohlen@yahoo.com>).
2778	+ add trace/varargs.c, using this to trace parameters in lib_printw.c
2779	+ implement _tracecchar_t2() and _tracecchar_t().
2780	+ split-out trace/visbuf.c
2781	+ correct typo in lib_printw.c changes from 20010922 (report by Mike
2782	  Castle).
2783
278420011013
2785	+ modify run_tic.sh to check if the build is a cross-compile.  In that
2786	  case, do not use the build's tic to install the terminfo database
2787	  (report by Rafael Rodriguez Velilla <rrv@tid.es>).
2788	+ modify mouse click resolution so that mouseinterval(-1) will disable
2789	  it, e.g., to handle touchscreens via a slow connection (request by
2790	  Byron Stanoszek <gandalf@winds.org>).
2791	+ correct mouseinterval() default value shown in curs_mouse.3x
2792	+ remove conflicting definition of mouse_trafo() (reported by Lars
2793	  Hecking, using gcc 2.95.3).
2794
279520011001
2796	+ simpler fix for signal_name(), to replace the one overlooked in
2797	  20010929 (reported by Larry Virden).
2798
279920010929
2800	+ add -i option to view.c, to test ncurses' check for non-default
2801	  signal handler for SIGINT, etc.
2802	+ add cases for shared-libraries on Darwin/OS X (patch by Rob Braun
2803	  <bbraun@synack.net>).
2804	+ modify tset to restore original I/O modes if an error is encountered.
2805	  Also modify to use buffered stderr consistently rather than mixing
2806	  with write().
2807	+ change signal_name() function to use if-then-else rather than case
2808	  statement, since signal-values aren't really integers (reported by
2809	  Larry Virden).
2810	+ add limit checks in wredrawln(), fixing a problem where lynx was
2811	  repainting a pad which was much larger than the screen.
2812
281320010922
2814	+ fix:  PutRange() was counting the second part of a wide character as
2815	  part of a run, resulting in a cursor position that was one too far
2816	  (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
2817	+ modify resizeterm() to not queue a KEY_RESIZE if there was no
2818	  SIGWINCH, thereby separating the two styles of SIGWINCH handling
2819	  in test/view.c
2820	+ simplified lib_tstp.c, modify it to use SA_RESTART flag for SIGWINCH.
2821	+ eliminate several static buffers in the terminfo compiler, using
2822	  allocated buffers.
2823	+ modify MKkeyname.awk so that keyname() does not store its result into
2824	  a static buffer that is overwritten by the next call.
2825	+ reorganize the output of infocmp -E and -e options to compile cleanly
2826	  with gcc -Wwrite-strings warnings.
2827	+ remove redefinition of chgat/wchgat/mvwchgat from curses.wide
2828
282920010915
2830	+ add label to test/view.c, showing the name of the last key or signal
2831	  that made the screen repaint, to make it clearer when a sigwinch
2832	  does this.
2833	+ use ExitProgram() consistently in the test-programs to make it
2834	  simpler to test leaks with dmalloc, etc.
2835	+ move hashtab static data out of hashmap.c into SCREEN struct.
2836	+ make NO_LEAK code compile with revised WINDOWLIST structs.
2837
283820010908
2839	+ modify tgetent() to check if exit_attribute_mode resets the alternate
2840	  character set, and if so, attempt to adjust the copy of the termcap
2841	  "me" string which it will return to eliminate that part.  In
2842	  particular, 'screen' would lose track of line-drawing characters
2843	  (report by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>, analysis by
2844	  Michael Schroeder).
2845
284620010901
2847	+ specify DOCTYPE in html manpages.
2848	+ add missing macros for several "generated" functions:  attr_get(),
2849	  attr_off(), attr_on(), attr_set(), chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat() and
2850	  mouse_trafo().
2851	+ modify view.c to agree with non-experimental status of ncurses'
2852	  sigwinch handler:
2853	  + change the sense of the -r option, making it default to ncurses'
2854	    sigwinch handler.
2855	  + add a note explaining what functions are unsafe in a signal
2856	    handler.
2857	  + add a -c option, to set color display, for testing.
2858	+ unset $data variable in MKterminfo.sh script, to address potential
2859	  infinite loop if shell malfunction (report by Samuel Mikes
2860	  <smikes@cubane.com>, for bash 2.05.0 on a Linux 2.0.36 system).
2861	+ change kbs in mach terminfo entries to ^?  (Marcus Brinkmann
2862	  <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>).
2863	+ correct logic for COLORFGBG environment variable: if rxvt is compiled
2864	  with xpm support, the variable has three fields, making it slightly
2865	  incompatible with itself.  In either case, the background color is
2866	  the last field.
2867
286820010825
2869	+ move calls to def_shell_mode() and def_prog_mode() before loop with
2870	  callbacks in lib_set_term.c, since the c++ demo otherwise initialized
2871	  the tty modes before saving them (patch by John David Anglin
2872	  <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>).
2873	+ duplicate logic used to initialize trace in newterm(), in initscr()
2874	  to avoid confusing trace of initscr().
2875	+ simplify allocation of WINDOW and WINDOWLIST structs by making the
2876	  first a part of the second rather than storing a pointer.  This saves
2877	  a call to malloc for each window (discussion with Philippe Blain).
2878	+ remove unused variable 'used_ncv' from lib_vidattr.c (Philippe
2879	  Blain).
2880	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to accommodate archive programs that are
2881	  different for C++ than for C, and add cases for vendor's C++
2882	  compilers on Solaris and IRIX (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
2883	+ correct manpage description of criteria for deciding if the terminal
2884	  supports xterm mouse controls.
2885	+ add several configure script options to aid with cross-compiling:
2886	  --with-build-cc, --with-build-cflags, --with-build-ldflags, and
2887	  --with-build-libs (request by Greg Roelofs).
2888	+ change criteria for deciding if configure is cross-compiling from
2889	  host/build mismatch to host/target mismatch (request by Greg Roelofs
2890	  <greg.roelofs@philips.com>).
2891	+ correct logic for infocmp -e and -E options which writes the data for
2892	  the ext_Names[] array.  This is needed if one constructs a fallback
2893	  table for a terminfo entry which uses extended termcap names, e.g.,
2894	  AX in a color xterm.
2895	+ fix undefined NCURSES_PATHSEP when configure --disable-database
2896	  option is given.
2897
289820010811
2899	+ fix for VALID_BOOLEAN() macro when char is not signed.
2900	+ modify 'clean' rule for C++ binding to work with Sun compiler, which
2901	  caches additional information in a subdirectory of the objects.
2902	+ added llib-ncursesw.
2903
290420010804
2905	+ add Caps.keys example for experimental extended function keys
2906	  (adapted from a patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
2907	+ correct parameter types of vidputs() and vidattr() to agree with
2908	  header files (report by William P Setzer).
2909	+ fix typos in several man-pages (patch by William P Setzer).
2910	+ remove unneeded ifdef for __GNUG__ in CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC configure
2911	  macro, which made ncurses C++ binding fail to build with other
2912	  C++ compilers such as HPUX 11.x (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
2913	+ workaround for bug in HPUX 11.x C compiler: add a blank after
2914	  NCURSES_EXPORT macro in form.h (report by Albert Chin-A-Young)
2915	+ ignore blank lines in Caps* files in MKkey_defs.sh script (report by
2916	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
2917	+ correct definition of key_end in Caps.aix4, which left KEY_END
2918	  undefined (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
2919	+ remove a QNX-specific fallback prototype for vsscanf(), which is
2920	  obsolete with QNX RTP.
2921	+ review/fix some of the T() and TR() macro calls, having noticed that
2922	  there was no data for delwin() in a trace of dialog because there was
2923	  no returnVoid call for wtimeout().  Also, traces in lib_twait.c are
2924	  now selected under TRACE_IEVENT rather than TRACE_CALLS.
2925
292620010728
2927	+ add a _nc_access() check before opening files listed via $TERMPATH.
2928	+ using modified man2html, regenerate some of the html manpages to fix
2929	  broken HREF's where the link was hyphenated.
2930
293120010721
2932	+ add some limit/pointer checks to -S option of tputs.
2933	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
2934	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
2935	+ add a note in curs_termcap.3x regarding a defect in the XSI
2936	  description of tgetent (based on a discussion with Urs Jansen
2937	  regarding the HPUX 11.x implementation, whose termcap interface is
2938	  not compatible with existing termcap programs).
2939	+ modify manhtml rule in dist.mk to preserve copyright notice on the
2940	  generated files, as well as to address HTML style issues reported by
2941	  tidy and weblint.  Regenerated/updated corresponding html files.
2942	+ comment out use of Protected_Character and related rarely used
2943	  attributes in ncurses Ada95 test/demo to compile with wide-character
2944	  configuration.
2945
294620010714
2947	+ implement a simple example in C++ demo to test scanw().
2948	+ corrected stdio function used to implement scanw() in cursesw.cc
2949	+ correct definition of RemAttr() macro from 20010602 changes, which
2950	  caused C++ SillyDemo to not show line-drawing characters.
2951	+ modify C++ binding, adding getKey() which can be overridden by user
2952	  to substitute functions other than getch() for keyboard processing
2953	  of forms and menus (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
2954
295520010707
2956	+ fix some of the trace calls which needed modification to work with
2957	  new wide-character structures.
2958	+ modify magic-cookie code in tty_update.c to compile with new
2959	  wide-character structures (report by <George.R.Goffe@seagate.com>).
2960	+ ensure that _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined in curses.priv.h if
2961	  compiling for wide-character configuration.
2962	+ make addwnstr() handle non-spacing characters (patch by Sven
2963	  Verdoolaege).
2964
296520010630
2966	+ add configure check to define _GNU_SOURCE, needed to prop up glibc
2967	  header files.
2968	+ split-out include/curses.wide to solve spurious redefinitions caused
2969	  by defining _GNU_SOURCE, and move includes for <signal.h> before
2970	  <curses.h> to work around misdefinition of ERR in glibc 2.1.3 header
2971	  file.
2972	+ extended ospeed change to NetBSD and OpenBSD -TD
2973	+ modify logic in lib_baudrate.c for ospeed, for FreeBSD to make it
2974	  work properly for termcap applications (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
2975
297620010623
2977	+ correct an overlooked CharOf/UChar instance (reports by Eugene Lee
2978	  <eugene@anime.net>, Sven Verdoolaege).
2979	+ correct unneeded ifdef for wunctrl() (reported by Sven Verdoolaege)
2980
298120010618
2982	+ change overlooked several CharOf/UChar instances.
2983	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
2984	+ correct a typo in wunctrl(), which made it appear that botwc() was
2985	  needed (no such function: use btowc()).
2986	+ reimplement wide-character demo in test/view.c, using new functions.
2987	+ implement getcchar(), setcchar(), wadd_wchnstr() and related macros.
2988	+ fix a syntax problem with do/if/while in PUTC macro (curses.priv.h).
2989
299020010616
2991	+ add parentheses in macros for malloc in test.priv.h, fixes an
2992	  expression in view.c (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.co.at>).
2993	+ add Caps.uwin, as an example.
2994	+ change the way curses.h is generated, making the list of function
2995	  key definitions extracted from the Caps file.
2996	+ add #undef's before possible redefinition of ERR and OK in curses.h
2997	+ modify logic in tic, toe, tput and tset which checks for basename of
2998	  argv[0] to work properly on systems such as OS/2 which have
2999	  case-independent filenames and/or program suffixes, e.g., ".ext".
3000
300120010609
3002	+ add a configure check, if --enable-widec is specified, for putwc(),
3003	  which may be in libutf8.
3004	+ remove some unnecessary text from curs_extend.3x and
3005	  default_colors.3x which caused man-db to make incorrect symbolic
3006	  links (Debian bug report #99550).
3007	+ add configure check if cast for _IO_va_list is needed to compile
3008	  C++ vscan code (Debian bug report #97945).
3009	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
3010	+ correct code that used non-standard auto-initialization of a struct,
3011	  which gcc allows (report by Larry Virden).
3012	+ use putwc() in PUTC() macro.
3013	+ make addstr() work for the special case where the codeset is
3014	  non-stateful (eg. UTF-8), as well as stateful codesets.
3015
301620010603
3017	+ correct loop expression in NEXT_CHAR macro for lib_addstr.c changes
3018	  from 20010602 (report by Mike Castle).
3019
302020010602
3021	+ modify mvcur() to avoid emitting newline characters when nonl() mode
3022	  is set.  Normally this is not a problem since the actual terminal
3023	  mode is set to suppress nl/crlf translations, however it is useful to
3024	  allow the caller to manipulate the terminal mode to avoid staircasing
3025	  effects after spawning a process which writes messages (for lynx
3026	  2.8.4) -TD
3027	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org>:
3028	+ remove redundant type-conversion in fifo_push()
3029	+ correct definition of addwstr() macro in curses.h.in
3030	+ remove _nc_utf8_outch()
3031	+ rename most existing uses of CharOf() to UChar(), e.g., where it is
3032	  used to prevent sign-extension in ctype macros.
3033	+ change some chtype's to attr_t's where the corresponding variables
3034	  are used to manipulate attributes.
3035	+ UpdateAttr() was applied to both attributes (attr_t) and characters
3036	  (chtype).  Modify macro and calls to it to make these distinct.
3037	+ add CharEq() macro, use in places where wide-character configuration
3038	  implementation uses a struct for cchar_t.
3039	+ moved struct ldat into curses.priv.h, to hide implementation details.
3040	+ change CharOf() macro to use it for masking A_CHARTEXT data from
3041	  chtype's.
3042	+ add L() macro to curses.priv.h, for long-character literals.
3043	+ replace several assignments from struct ldat entries to chtype or
3044	  char values with combinations of CharOf() and AttrOf() macros.
3045	+ add/use intermediate ChAttrOf() and ChCharOf() macros where we know
3046	  we are using chtype data.
3047	+ add/use lowlevel attribute manipulation macros AddAttr(), RemAttr()
3048	  and SetAttr().
3049	+ add/use SetChar() macro, to change a cchar_t based on a character and
3050	  attributes.
3051	+ convert most internal use of chtype to NCURSES_CH_T, to simplify use
3052	  of cchar_t for wide-character configuration.  Similarly, use ARG_CH_T
3053	  where a pointer would be more useful.
3054	+ add stubs for tracing cchar_t values.
3055	+ add/use macro ISBLANK()
3056	+ add/use constructors for cchar_t's: NewChar(), NewChar2().
3057	+ add/use macros CHREF(), CHDEREF(), AttrOfD(), CharOfD() to facilitate
3058	  passing cchar_t's by address.
3059	+ add/use PUTC_DATA, PUTC() macros.
3060	+ for wide-character configuration, move the window background data to
3061	  the end of the WINDOW struct so that whether _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
3062	  is defined or not, the offsets in the struct will not change.
3063	+ modify addch() to work with wide-characters.
3064	+ mark several wide-character functions as generated in curses.h.in
3065	+ implement wunctrl(), wadd_wch(), wbkgrndset(), wbkgrnd(),
3066	  wborder_set() and waddnwstr().
3067
306820010526
3069	+ add experimental --with-caps=XXX option to customize to similar
3070	  terminfo database formats such as AIX 4.x
3071	+ add Caps.aix4 as an example.
3072	+ modify Caps to add columns for the the KEY_xxx symbols.
3073	+ modify configure --with-widec to suppress overwrite of libcurses.so
3074	  and curses.h
3075	+ add checks to toe.c to avoid being confused by files and directories
3076	  where we would expect the reverse, e.g., source-files in the
3077	  top-level terminfo levels as is the case for AIX.
3078
307920010519
3080	+ add top-level 'depend' rule for the C sources, assuming that the
3081	  makedepend program is available.  As a side-effect, this makes
3082	  the generated sources, as in "make sources" (prompted by a report
3083	  by Mike Castle that "make -j" fails because the resulting parallel
3084	  processes race to generate ncurses/names.c).
3085	+ modify configure script so that --disable-overwrite option's action
3086	  to add a symbolic link for libcurses applies to the static library as
3087	  well as the shared library when both are configured (report by Felix
3088	  Natter <f.natter@ndh.net>).
3089	+ add ELKS terminfo entries (Federico Bianchi
3090	  <bianchi@www.arte.unipi.it>)
3091	+ add u6 (CSR) to Eterm (Michael Jennings).
3092
309320010512
3094	+ modify test/ncurses.c to work with xterm-256color, which has fewer
3095	  color pairs than colors*colors (report by David Ellement
3096	  <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).
3097
309820010505
3099	+ corrected screen.xterm-xfree86 entry.
3100	+ update comment in Caps regarding IBM (AIX) function-key definitions.
3101
310220010421
3103	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to link with libncurses++w.a when configured
3104	  for wide-characters (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
3105	+ add check in _nc_trace_buf() to refrain from freeing a null pointer.
3106	+ improve CF_PROG_INSTALL macro using CF_DIRNAME.
3107	+ update config.guess, config.sub from autoconf 2.49e (alpha).
3108
310920010414
3110	+ add secondary check in tic.c, similar_sgr() to see if the reason
3111	  for mismatch was that the individual capabilities used a time-delay
3112	  while sgr did not.  Used this to cleanup mismatches, e.g., in vt100,
3113	  and remove time-delay from Apple_Terminal entries.
3114	+ add Apple_Terminal terminfo entries (Benjamin C W Sittler
3115	  <bsittler@iname.com>).
3116	+ correct definitions of shifted editing keys for xterm-xfree86 -TD
3117	+ fix a bug in test/bs.c from 20010407 (patch by Erik Sigra).
3118	+ prevent relative_move() from doing an overwrite if it detects 8-bit
3119	  characters when configured for UTF-8 (reported by Sven Verdoolaege
3120	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
3121
312220010407
3123	+ add configure checks for strstream.h vscan function, and similar
3124	  stdio-based function which may be used in C++ binding for gcc 3.0
3125	  (reports by George Goffe, Lars Hecking, Mike Castle).
3126	+ rewrite parts of configure.in which used changequote().  That feature
3127	  is broken in the latest autoconf alphas (e.g., 2.49d).
3128	+ add a missing pathname for ncurses_dll.h, needed when building in
3129	  a directory outside the source tree (patch by Sven Verdoolaege
3130	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
3131	> fix 2 bugs in test/bs.c Erik Sigra <sigra@home.se>:
3132	+ no ships were ever placed in the last row or in the last column.
3133	  This made the game very easy to win, because you never had to waste
3134	  any shots there, but the computer did.
3135	+ the squares around a sunken ship that belonged to the player were not
3136	  displayed as already hit by the computer, like it does for the
3137	  player.
3138
313920010331
3140	+ add some examples of customizing screen's terminfo:
3141	  screen.xterm-xfree86, screen.xterm-r6, screen.teraterm -TD
3142	+ modify screen's terminfo entry to match the khome/kend in screen
3143	  3.09.08 (Debian bug report #92215).
3144	+ correct a memory leak in forms library (report by Stefan Vogtner
3145	  <stefan@vogtner.de>) (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
3146
314720010324
3148	+ change symbols used to guard against repeated includes to begin
3149	  consistently with "NCURSES_" rather than a leading underscore.  There
3150	  are other symbols defined in the header files which begin with a
3151	  leading underscore, but they are part of the legacy interface.
3152	+ reorder includes in c++ binding so that rcs identifiers can be
3153	  compiled-in.
3154	+ add .cc.ii rule to c++ makefile, to get preprocessor output for
3155	  debugging.
3156	+ correct configure script handling of @keyword@ substitutions when the
3157	  --with-manpage-renames option is given (cf:  20000715, fixes Debian
3158	  bug #89939).
3159	+ report stack underflow/overflow in tparm() when tic -cv option is
3160	  given.
3161	+ remove spurious "%|" operator from xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry,
3162	  (reported by Adam Costello <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, Debian bug #89222).
3163
316420010310
3165	+ cleanup of newdemo.c, fixing some ambiguous expressions noted by gcc
3166	  2.95.2, and correcting some conflicting color pair initializations.
3167	+ add missing copyright notice for cursesw.h
3168	+ review, make minor fixes for use of '::' for referring to C-language
3169	  interface from C++ binding.
3170	+ modify configure check for g++ library slightly to accommodate
3171	  nonstandard version number, e.g., <vendor>-2.7 (report by Ronald Ho
3172	  <rho@mipos2.intel.com>).
3173	+ add configure check for c++ <sstream> header, replace hardcoded
3174	  ifdef.
3175	+ workaround for pre-release of gcc 3.0 libstdc++, which has dropped
3176	  vscan from strstreambuf to follow standard, use wrapper for C vscanf
3177	  instead (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@excite.com> and Matt Taggart
3178	  <taggart@carmen.fc.hp.com>, fixes Debian .
3179
318020010303
3181	+ modify interface of _nc_get_token() to pass 'silent' parameter to it,
3182	  to make quieter loading of /etc/termcap (patch by Todd C Miller).
3183	+ correct a few typos in curs_slk.3x and curs_outopts.3x manpages
3184	  (patch by Todd C Miller).
3185
318620010224
3187	+ compiler-warning fixes (reported by Nelson Beebe).
3188
318920010210
3190	+ modify screen terminfo entry to use new 3.9.8 feature allowing xterm
3191	  mouse controls -TD
3192
319320010203
3194	+ broaden patterns used to match OS/2 EMX in configure script to cover
3195	  variant used in newer config.guess/config.sub
3196	+ remove changequote() calls from configure script, since this feature
3197	  is broken in the autoconf 2.49c alpha, maintainers decline to fix.
3198	+ remove macro callPutChar() from tty_update.c, since this is no longer
3199	  needed (reported by Philippe Blain).
3200	+ add a null-pointer check in tic.c to handle the case when the input
3201	  file is really empty.  Modify the next_char() function in comp_scan.c
3202	  to allow arbitrarily long lines, and incidentally supply a newline to
3203	  files that do not end in a newline.  These changes improve tic's
3204	  recovery from attempts to read binary files, e.g., its output from
3205	  the terminfo database (reported by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
3206
320720010127
3208	+ revert change to c++/demo.cc from 20001209, which changed definition
3209	  of main() apparently to accommodate cygwin linker, but broke the demo
3210	  program.
3211	+ workaround for broken egcs 2.91.66 which calls member functions
3212	  (i.e., lines() and colors() of NCursesWindow before calling its
3213	  constructor.  Add calls to initialize() in a few constructors which
3214	  did not do this already.
3215	+ use the GNAT preprocessor to make the necessary switch between TRACE
3216	  and NO_TRACE configurations (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
3217	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
3218	+ modify kterm terminfo entry to use SCS sequence to support alternate
3219	  character set (it does not work with SI/SO).
3220	+ --with-ospeed=something didn't work.  configure.in checked for a
3221	  $enableval where it should check for $withval.  Also,
3222	  ncurses/llib-lncurses still had a hardcoded short.
3223
322420010114
3225	+ correction to my merge of Tom Riddle's patch that broke tic in some
3226	  conditions (reported by Enoch Wexler <enoch@wexler.co.il>) -TD
3227
322820010113
3229	+ modify view.c to test halfdelay().  Like other tests, this recognizes
3230	  the 's' and space commands for stopping/starting polled input, shows
3231	  a freerunning clock in the header.  If given a parameter to 's', that
3232	  makes view.c use halfdelay() with that parameter rather than
3233	  nodelay().
3234	+ fix to allow compile with the experimental configure option
3235	  --disable-hashmap.
3236	+ modify postprocess_termcap() to avoid overwriting key_backspace,
3237	  key_left, key_down when processing a non-base entry (report/patch by
3238	  Tom Riddle).
3239	+ modify _nc_wrap_entry(), adding option to reallocate the string
3240	  table, needed in _nc_merge_entry() when merging termcap entries.
3241	  (adapted from report/patch by Tom Riddle <ftr@oracom.com>).
3242	+ modify a few configure script macros to keep $CFLAGS used only for
3243	  compiler options, preprocessor options in $CPPFLAGS.
3244
324520001230
3246	+ correct marker positions in lrtest.c after receiving a sigwinch.
3247	+ fix ifdef's in ncurses.c to build against pre-5.2 for testing.
3248	+ fixes to tclock for resizing behavior, redundant computation (report
3249	  and patch by A M Kuchling <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>).
3250
325120001216
3252	+ improved scoansi terminfo entry -TD
3253	+ modify configure script and makefile in Ada95/src to compile a stub
3254	  for the trace functions when ncurses does not provide those.
3255
325620001209
3257	+ add ncurses_dll.h and related definitions to support generating DLL's
3258	  with cygwin (adapted from a patch by Charles Wilson
3259	  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>, changed NCURSES_EXPORT macro to make it
3260	  work with 'indent') -TD
3261
326220001202
3263	+ correct prototypes for some functions in curs_termcap.3x, matching
3264	  termcap.h, which matches X/Open.
3265	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
3266	+ a revised version of the Ada enhancements sent in by "H.
3267	  Nanosecond", aka Eugene V Melaragno <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>.  This
3268	  patch includes
3269	  - small fixes to the existing ncurses binding
3270	  - addition of some more low-level functions to the binding, including
3271	    termcap and terminfo functions
3272	  - An Ada implementation of the "ncurses" test application originally
3273	    written in C.
3274
327520001125
3276	+ modify logic in lib_setup.c to allow either lines or columns value
3277	  from terminfo to be used if the screen size cannot be determined
3278	  dynamically rather than requiring both (patch by Ehud Karni
3279	  <ehud@unix.simonwiesel.co.il>).
3280	+ add check in lib_tgoto.c's is_termcap() function to reject null or
3281	  empty strings (reported by Valentin Nechayev <netch@netch.kiev.ua> to
3282	  freebsd-bugs).
3283	+ add definition from configure script that denotes the path-separator,
3284	  which is normally a colon.  The path-separator is a semicolon on
3285	  OS/2 EMX and similar systems which may use a colon within pathnames.
3286	+ alter logic to set default for --disable-overwrite option to set it
3287	  to 'yes' if the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr/local, thereby
3288	  accommodating the most common cause of problems: gcc's nonstandard
3289	  search rules.  Other locations such as /usr/local/ncurses will
3290	  default to overwriting (report by Lars Hecking <lhecking@nmrc.ie>).
3291
329220001118
3293	+ modify default for --disable-overwrite configure option to disable
3294	  if the --prefix or $prefix value is not /usr.
3295	+ add cygwin to systems for which ncurses is installed by default into
3296	  /usr rather than /usr/local.
3297
329820001111
3299	+ minor optimization in comp_error.c and lib_termname.c, using
3300	  strncat() to replace strncpy() (patch by Solar Designer).
3301	+ add a use_terminfo_vars() check for $HOME/.termcap, and check for
3302	  geteuid() to use_terminfo_vars() (patch by Solar Designer
3303	  <solar@false.com>).
3304	+ improved cygwin terminfo entry, based on patch by
3305	  <ernie_boyd@yahoo.com>.
3306	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to allow for the possibility that linking
3307	  aliases on a filesystem that ignores case would not succeed because
3308	  the source and destination differ only by case, e.g., NCR260VT300WPP0
3309	  on cygwin (report by Neil Zanella).
3310	+ fix a typo in the curs_deleteln.3x man page (patch by Bernhard
3311	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
3312
331320001104
3314	+ add configure option --with-ospeed to assist packagers in transition
3315	  to 5.3 change to ospeed type.
3316	+ add/use CharOf() macro to suppress sign-extension of char type on
3317	  platforms where this is a problem in ctype macros, e.g., Solaris.
3318	+ change trace output to binary format.
3319	+ correct a missing quote adjustment in CF_PATH_SYNTAX autoconf
3320	  macro, for OS/2 EMX configuration.
3321	+ rearrange a few configure macros, moving preprocessor options to
3322	  $CPPFLAGS (a now-obsolete version of autoconf did not consistently
3323	  use $CPPFLAGS in both the compile and preprocessor checks).
3324	+ add a check in relative_move() to guard against buffer overflow in
3325	  the overwrite logic.
3326
332720001028
3328	+ add message to configure script showing g++ version.
3329	+ resync config.guess, config.sub
3330	+ modify lib_delwin.c, making it return ERR if the window did not exist
3331	  (suggested by Neil Zanella).
3332	+ add cases for FreeBSD 3.1 to tdlint and makellib scripts, used this
3333	  to test/review ncurses library.  (Would use lclint, but it doesn't
3334	  work).
3335	+ reorganized knight.c to avoid forward references.  Correct screen
3336	  updates when backtracking, especially to the first cell.  Add F/B/a
3337	  commands.
3338
333920001021 5.2 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
3340	+ update generated html files from manpages.
3341	+ modify dist.mk to use edit_man.sh to substitute autoconf'd variables
3342	  in html manpages.
3343	+ fix an uninitialized pointer in read_termcap.c (report by Todd C
3344	  Miller, from report/patch by Philip Guenther <guenther@gac.edu>).
3345	+ correct help-message and array limit in knight.c (patch by Brian
3346	  Raiter <breadbox@muppetlabs.com>).
3347	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
3348	+ fix to avoid warning by GNAT-3.13p about use of inconsistent casing
3349	  for some identifiers defined in the standard package.
3350	+ cosmetic change to forms/fty_enum.c
3351
335220001014
3353	+ correct an off-by-one position in test/railroad.c which could cause
3354	  wrapping at the right margin.
3355	+ test/repair some issues with libtool configuration.  Make
3356	  --disable-echo force libtool --silent.  (Libtool does not work for
3357	  OS/2 EMX, works partly for SCO - libtool is still very specific to
3358	  gcc).
3359	+ change default of --with-manpage-tbl to "no", since for most of the
3360	  platforms which do have tbl installed, the system "man" program
3361	  understands how to run tbl automatically.
3362	+ minor improvement to force_bar() in comp_parse.c (Bernhard
3363	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
3364	+ modify lib_tparm.c to use get_space() before writing terminating
3365	  null character, both for consistency as well as to ensure that if
3366	  save_char() was called immediately before, that the allocated memory
3367	  is enough (patch by Sergei Ivanov).
3368	+ add note about termcap ML capability which is duplicated between two
3369	  different capabilities:  smgl and smglr (reported by Sergei Ivanov
3370	  <svivanov@pdmi.ras.ru>).
3371	+ correct parameter counts in include/Caps for dclk as well as some
3372	  printer-specific capabilities: csnm, defc, scs, scsd, smgtp, smglp.
3373	> patch by Johnny C Lam <lamj@stat.cmu.edu>:
3374	+ add support for building with libtool (apparently version 1.3.5,
3375	  since old versions do not handle -L../lib), using new configure
3376	  option --with-libtool.
3377	+ add configure option --with-manpage-tbl, which causes the manpages to
3378	  be preprocessed by tbl(1) prior to installation,
3379	+ add configure option --without-curses-h, which causes the
3380	  installation process to install curses.h as ncurses.h and make
3381	  appropriate changes to headers and manpages.
3382
338320001009
3384	+ correct order of options/parameters in run_tic.in invocation of tic,
3385	  which did not work with standard getopt() (reported by Ethan
3386	  Butterfield <primus@veris.org>).
3387	+ correct logic for 'reverse' variable in lib_vidattr.c, which was
3388	  setting it true without checking if newmode had A_REVERSE set, e.g.,
3389	  using $TERM=ansi on OS/2 EMX (see 20000917).
3390	> patch by Todd C Miller:
3391	+ add a few missing use_terminfo_vars() and fixes up _nc_tgetent().
3392	  Previously, _nc_cgetset() would still get called on cp so the
3393	  simplest thing is to set cp to NULL if !use_terminfo_vars().
3394	+ added checks for an empty $HOME environment variable.
3395	> patches for OS/2 EMX (Ilya Zakharevich):
3396	+ modify convert_configure.pl to support INSTALL.  Change compiler
3397	  options in that script to use multithreading, needed for the mouse.
3398	+ modify OS/2 mouse support, retrying as a 2-button mouse if code fails
3399	  to set up a 3-button mouse.
3400	+ improve code for OS/2 mouse support, using _nc_timed_wait() to
3401	  replace select() call.
3402
340320001007
3404	+ change type of ospeed variable back to short to match its use in
3405	  legacy applications (reported by Andrey A Chernov).
3406	+ add case to configure script for --enable-rpath on IRIX (patch by
3407	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
3408	+ minor fix to position_check() function, to ensure it gets the whole
3409	  cursor report before decoding.
3410	+ add configure option --disable-assumed-color, to allow pre-5.1
3411	  convention of default colors used for color-pair 0 to be configured
3412	  (see assume_default_colors()).
3413	+ rename configure option --enable-hashmap --disable-hashmap, and
3414	  reorder the configure options, splitting the experimental and
3415	  development
3416	+ add configure option --disable-root-environ, which tells ncurses to
3417	  disregard $TERMINFO and similar environment variables if the current
3418	  user is root, or running setuid/setgid (based on discussion with
3419	  several people).
3420	+ modified misc/run_tic.in to use tic -o, to eliminate dependency on
3421	  $TERMINFO variable for installs.
3422	+ add table entry for plab_norm to tput, so it passes in strings
3423	  for that capability.
3424	+ modify parse_format() in lib_tparm.c to ignore precision if it is
3425	  longer than 10000 (report by Jouko Pynnonen).
3426	+ rewrote limit checks in lib_mvcur.c using new functions
3427	  _nc_safe_strcat(), etc.  Made other related changes to check lengths
3428	  used for strcat/strcpy (report by Jouko Pynnonen
3429	  <jouko@solutions.fi>).
3430
343120000930
3432	+ modify several descriptions, including those for setaf, setab, in
3433	  include/Caps to indicate that the entries are parameterized.  This
3434	  information is used to tell which strings are translated when
3435	  converting to termcap.  Fixes a problem where the generated termcap
3436	  would contain a spurious "%p1" for the terminfo "%p1%d".
3437	+ modify ld -rpath options (e.g., Linux, and Solaris) to use an
3438	  absolute pathname for the build tree's lib directory (prompted by
3439	  discussion with Albert Chin-A-Young).
3440	+ modify "make install.man" and "make uninstall.man" to include tack's
3441	  man-page.
3442	+ various fixes for install scripts used to support configure --srcdir
3443	  and --with-install-prefix (reported by Matthew Clarke
3444	  <Matthew_Clarke@mindlink.bc.ca>).
3445	+ make configure script checks on variables $GCC and $GXX consistently
3446	  compare against 'yes' rather than test if they are nonnull, since
3447	  either may be set to the corresponding name of the C or C++ compiler
3448	  (report/patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
3449
345020000923
3451	+ modify rs2 capability in xterm-r6 and similar where cursor
3452	  save/restore bracketed the sequence for resetting video attributes.
3453	  The cursor restore would undo that (report by John Hawkinson
3454	  <jhawk@MIT.EDU> (see NetBSD misc/11052)).
3455	+ using parameter check added to tic, corrected 27 typos in
3456	  terminfo.src -TD
3457	+ modify tic to verify that its inputs are really files, in case
3458	  someone tries to read a directory (or /dev/zero).
3459	+ add a check for empty buffers returned by fgets() in comp_scan.c
3460	  next_char() function, in case tic is run on a non-text file (fixes
3461	  a core dump reported by Aaron Campbell <aaron@cs.dal.ca>).
3462	+ add to railroad.c some code exercising tgoto(), providing an
3463	  alternate form of display if the terminal supports cursor addressing.
3464	+ split-out tgoto() again, this time into new file lib_tgoto.c, and
3465	  implement a conventional BSD-style tgoto() which is used if the
3466	  capability string does not contain terminfo-style padding or
3467	  parameters (requested by Andrey A Chernov).
3468	+ add check to tic which reports capabilities that do not reference
3469	  the expected number of parameters.
3470	+ add error checking to infocmp's -v and -m options to ensure that
3471	  the option value is indeed a number.
3472	+ some cleanup of logic in _nc_signal_handler() to verify if SIGWINCH
3473	  handler is setup.  Separated the old/new sigaction data for SIGTSTP
3474	  from the other signals.
3475
347620000917
3477	+ add S0, E0 extensions to screen's terminfo entry, which is another
3478	  way to solve the misconfiguration issue -TD
3479	+ completed special case for tgoto from 20000916
3480
348120000916
3482	+ update xterm terminfo entries to match XFree86 xterm patch #146 -TD
3483	+ add Matrix Orbital terminfo entries (from Eric Z Ayers
3484	  <eric@ale.org>).
3485	+ add special case to lib_tparm.c to allow 'screen' program to use a
3486	  termcap-style parameter "%." to tgoto() for switching character sets.
3487	+ use LN_S substitution in run_tic.in, to work on OS/2 EMX which has
3488	  no symbolic links.
3489	+ updated notes in README.emx regarding autoconf patches.
3490	+ replace a lookup table in lib_vidattr.c used to decode no_color_video
3491	  with a logic expression (suggested by Philippe Blain).
3492	+ add a/A toggle to ncurses.c 'b' test, which clears/sets alternate
3493	  character set attribute from the displayed text.
3494	+ correct inequality in parameter analysis of rewritten lib_tparm.c
3495	  which had the effect of ignoring p9 in set_attributes (sgr), breaking
3496	  alternate character set (reported by Piotr Majka <charvel@link.pl>).
3497	+ correct ifdef'ing for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF which would not compile
3498	  with Sun WorkShop compilers since these tokens were empty (cf:
3499	  20000902, reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
3500
350120000909
3502	+ correct an uninitialized parameter to open_tempfile() in tic.c which
3503	  made "tic -I" give an ambiguous error message about tmpnam.
3504	+ add special case in lib_vidattr.c to reset underline and standout for
3505	  devices that have no sgr0 defined (patch by Don Lewis
3506	  <Don.Lewis@tsc.tdk.com>).  Note that this will not work for bold
3507	  mode, since there is no exit-bold-mode capability.
3508	+ improved patch for Make_Enum_Type (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
3509	+ modify tparm to disallow arithmetic on strings, analyze the varargs
3510	  list to read strings as strings and numbers as numbers.
3511	+ modify tparm's internal function spop() to treat a null pointer as
3512	  an empty string.
3513	+ modify tput program so it can be renamed or invoked via a link as
3514	  'reset' or 'init', producing the same effect as 'tput reset' or 'tput
3515	  init'.
3516	+ add private entrypoint _nc_basename(), use to consolidate related
3517	  code in progs, as well as accommodating OS/2 EMX pathnames.
3518	+ remove NCURSES_CONST line from edit_cfg.sh to compensate for its
3519	  removal (except via AC_SUBST) from configure.in, making
3520	  --enable-const work again (reported by Juergen Pfeifer).
3521	+ regen'd configure to pick up "hpux*" change from 20000902.
3522
352320000902
3524	+ modify tset.c to check for transformed "reset" program name, if any.
3525	+ add a check for null pointer in Make_Enum_Type() (reported by Steven
3526	  W Orr <steveo@world.std.com>).
3527	+ change functions _nc_parse_entry() and postprocess_termcap() to avoid
3528	  using strtok(), because it is non-reentrant (reported by Andrey A
3529	  Chernov <ache@nagual.pp.ru>).
3530	+ remove "hpux10.*" case from CF_SHARED_OPTS configure script macro.
3531	  This differed from the "hpux*" case by using reversed symbolic
3532	  links, which made the 5.1 version not match the configuration of
3533	  5.0 shared libraries (reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
3534	+ correct a dependency in Ada95/src/Makefile.in which prevented
3535	  building with configure --srcdir (patch by H Nanosecond
3536	  <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>).
3537	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in to avoid warning if GCC_PRINTF or
3538	  GCC_SCANF was not previously defined (reported by Pavel Roskin
3539	  <proski@gnu.org>).
3540	+ add MKncurses_def.sh to generate fallback definitions for
3541	  ncurses_cfg.h, to quiet gcc -Wundef warnings, modified ifdef's in
3542	  code to consistently use "#if" rather than "#ifdef".
3543
354420000826
3545	+ add QNX qansi entries to terminfo -TD
3546	+ add os2 entry to misc/emx.src (<jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
3547	+ add configure option --with-database to allow specifying a different
3548	  terminfo source-file to install.  On OS/2 EMX, this defaults to
3549	  misc/emx.src
3550	+ change misc/run_tic.sh to derive it from misc/run_tic.in, to simplify
3551	  setting .exe extension on OS/2 EMX.
3552	+ add .exe extension in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in,
3553	  Ada95/samples/Makefile.in, for OS/2 EMX (reported by
3554	  <jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
3555	+ add configure check for filesystems (such as OS/2 EMX) which do not
3556	  distinguish between upper/lowercase filenames, use this to fix tags
3557	  rules in makefiles.
3558	+ initialize fds[] array to 0's in _nc_timed_wait(); apparently poll()
3559	  only sets the revents members of that array when there is activity
3560	  corresponding to the related file (report by Glenn Cooper
3561	  <gcooper@qantas.com.au>, using Purify on Solaris 5.6).
3562	+ change configure script to use AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM rather than
3563	  AC_CANONICAL_HOST, which means that configure --target will set
3564	  a default program-prefix.
3565	+ add note on cross-compiling to INSTALL (which does not rely on the
3566	  AC_CANONICAL_* macros).
3567
356820000819
3569	+ add cases for EMX OS/2 to config.guess, config.sub
3570	+ new version of config.guess, config.sub from lynx 2.8.4dev.7
3571	+ add definitions via transform.h to allow tic and tput to check for
3572	  the transformed aliases rather than the original infotocap, etc.
3573	+ simplify transform-expressions in progs/Makefile.in, make the
3574	  uninstall rule work for transformed program names.
3575	+ change symbol used by --install-prefix configure option from
3576	  INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR (the latter has become common usage
3577	  although the name is misleading).
3578	+ modify programs to use curses_version() string to report the version
3579	  of ncurses with which they are compiled rather than the
3580	  NCURSES_VERSION string.  The function returns the patch level in
3581	  addition to the major and minor version numbers.
3582
358320000812
3584	+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to make transformed program names
3585	  a parameter to that macro rather than embedding them in the macro.
3586	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in lynx
3587	  2.8.4dev.7).
3588	+ add configure option --with-default-terminfo-dir=DIR to allow
3589	  specifying the default terminfo database directory (request by Albert
3590	  Chin-A-Young).
3591	+ minor updates for terminfo.src from FreeBSD termcap change-history.
3592	+ correct notes in README and INSTALL regarding documentation files
3593	  that were moved from misc directory to doc (report by Rich Kulawiec
3594	  <rsk@gsp.org>).
3595	+ change most remaining unquoted parameters of 'test' in configure
3596	  script to use quotes, for instance fixing a problem in the
3597	  --disable-database option (reported by Christian Mondrup
3598	  <scancm@biobase.dk>).
3599	+ minor adjustments to work around some of the incompatibilities/bugs
3600	  in autoconf 2.29a alpha.
3601	+ add -I/usr/local/include when --with-ncurses option is used in
3602	  test/configure script.
3603	+ correct logic in adjust_cancels(), which did not check both
3604	  alternatives when reclassifying an extended name between boolean,
3605	  number and string, causing an infinite loop in tic.
3606
360720000730
3608	+ correct a missing backslash in curses.priv.h
3609
361020000729
3611	+ change handling of non_dest_scroll_region in tty_update.c to clear
3612	  text after it is shifted in rather than before shifting out.  Also
3613	  correct row computation (reported by Ruediger Kuhlmann
3614	  <uck4@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>).
3615	+ add/use new trace function to display chtype values from winch() and
3616	  getbkgd().
3617	+ add trace mask TRACE_ATTRS, alter several existing _tracef calls that
3618	  trace attribute changes under TRACE_CALLS to use this.
3619	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh so that functions returning chtype will call
3620	  returnChar().
3621	+ add returnChar() trace, for functions returning chtype.
3622	+ change indent.pro to line up parenthesis.
3623
362420000722
3625	+ fix a heap problem with the c++ binding (report by
3626	  <alexander_liberson@ninewest.com>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
3627	+ minor adjustment to ClrToEOL() to handle an out-of-bounds parameter.
3628	+ modify the check for big-core to force a couple of memory accesses,
3629	  which may work as needed for older/less-capable machines (if not,
3630	  there's still the explicit configure option).
3631	> fixes based on diff's for Amiga and BeOS found at
3632	  http://www.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~kuhlmann/cross/ncurses/
3633	+ alter definition of NCURSES_CONST to make it non-empty.
3634	+ add amiga-vnc terminfo entry.
3635	+ redefine 'TEXT' in menu.h for AMIGA, since it is reported to have
3636	  an (unspecified) symbol conflict.
3637	+ replaced case-statement in _nc_tracebits() for CSIZE with a table to
3638	  simplify working around implementations that define random
3639	  combinations of the related macros to zero.
3640	+ modify configure test for tcgetattr() to allow for old
3641	  implementations, e.g., on BeOS, which only defined it as a macro.
3642	> patches by Bruno Haible:
3643	+ when checking LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG environment variables for UTF-8
3644	  locale, ignore those which are set to an empty value, as per SUSV2.
3645	+ encode 0xFFFD in UTF-8 with 3 bytes, not 2.
3646	+ modify _nc_utf8_outch() to avoid sign-extension when checking for
3647	  out-of-range value.
3648
364920000715
3650	+ correct manlinks.sed script to avoid using ERE "\+", which is not
3651	  understood by older versions of sed (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
3652	+ implement configure script options that transform installed program
3653	  names, e.g., --program-prefix, including the manpage names and cross
3654	  references (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>).
3655	+ correct several mismatches between manpage filename and ".TH"
3656	  directives, renaming dft_fgbg.3x to default_colors.3x and
3657	  menu_attribs.3x to menu_attributes.3x (report by Todd C Miller).
3658	+ correct missing includes for <string.h> in several places, including
3659	  the C++ binding.  This is not noted by gcc unless we use the
3660	  -fno-builtin option (reported by Igor Schein <igor@txc.com>).
3661	+ modified progs/tset.c and tack/sysdep.c to build with sgttyb
3662	  interface if neither termio or termios is available.  Tested this
3663	  with FreeBSD 2.1.5 (which does have termios - but the sgttyb does
3664	  work).
3665
366620000708 5.1 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
3667	+ document configure options in INSTALL.
3668	+ add man-page for ncurses trace functions.
3669	+ correct return value shown in curs_touch.3x for is_linetouched() and
3670	  is_wintouched(), in curs_initscr.3x for isendwin(), and in
3671	  curs_termattr.3x for has_ic() and has_il().
3672	+ add prototypes for touchline() and touchwin(), adding them to the
3673	  list of generated functions.
3674	+ modify fifo_push() to put ERR into the fifo just like other values to
3675	  return from wgetch().  It was returning without doing that, making
3676	  end-of-file condition incorrectly return a 0 (reported by Todd C
3677	  Miller).
3678	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS for progs and tack (see 971115), since they
3679	  are needed for SCO OpenServer.
3680	+ move _nc_disable_period from free_ttype.c to comp_scan.c to appease
3681	  dynamic loaders on SCO and IRIX64.
3682	+ add "-a" option to test/ncurses.c to invoke assume_default_colors()
3683	  for testing.
3684	+ correct assignment in assume_default_colors() which tells ncurses
3685	  whether to use default colors, or the assumed ones (reported by Gary
3686	  Funck <gary@Intrepid.Com>).
3687	+ review/correct logic in mk-1st.awk for making symbolic links for
3688	  shared libraries, in particular for FreeBSD, etc.
3689	+ regenerate misc/*.def files for OS/2 EMX dll's.
3690	+ correct quoting of values for CC_SHARED_OPTS in aclocal.m4 for
3691	  cases openbsd2*, openbsd*, freebsd* and netbsd* (patch by Peter
3692	  Wemm) (err in 20000610).
3693	+ minor updates to release notes, as well as adding/updating URLs for
3694	  examples cited in announce.html
3695	> several fixes from Philippe Blain <philippe.blain2@freesbee.fr>:
3696	+ correct placement of ifdef for NCURSES_XNAMES in function
3697	  _nc_free_termtype(), fixes a memory leak.
3698	+ add a call to _nc_synchook() to the end of function whline() like
3699	  that in wvline() (difference was in 1.9.4).
3700	+ make ClearScreen() a little faster by moving two instances of
3701	  UpdateAttr() out of for-loops.
3702	+ simplify ClrBottom() by eliminating the tstLine data, using for-loops
3703	  (cf: 960428).
3704
370520000701 pre-release
3706	+ change minor version to 1, i.e., ncurses 5.1
3707	+ add experimental configure option --enable-colorfgbg to check for
3708	  $COLORTERM variable as set by rxvt/aterm/Eterm.
3709	+ add Eterm terminfo entry (Michael Jennings <mej@valinux.com>).
3710	+ modify manlinks.sed to pick aliases from the SYNOPSIS section, and
3711	  several manpages so manlinks.sed can find aliases for creating
3712	  symbolic links.
3713	+ add explanation to run_tic.sh regarding extended terminal
3714	  capabilities.
3715	+ change message format for edit_cfg.sh, since some people interpret
3716	  it as a warning.
3717	+ correct unescaped '$' in sysv5uw7*|unix_sv* rule for CF_SHARED_OPTS
3718	  configure macro (report by Thanh Ma <Thanh.Ma@casi-rusco.com>).
3719	+ correct logic in lib_twait.c as used by lib_mouse.c for GPM mouse
3720	  support when poll() is used rather than select() (prompted by
3721	  discussion with David Allen <DAllen24@aol.com>).
3722
372320000624 pre-release
3724	+ modify TransformLine() to check for cells with different color pairs
3725	  that happen to render the same display colors.
3726	+ apply $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to cost-computation in mvcur().
3727	+ improve cost computation in PutRange() by accounting for the use
3728	  of parm_right_cursor in mvcur().
3729	+ correct cost computation in EmitRange(), which was not using the
3730	  normalized value for cursor_address.
3731	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in TIN 1.5.6).
3732
373320000617
3734	+ update config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in PCRE 3.2).
3735	+ resync changes to gnathtml against version 1.22, regenerated html
3736	  files under doc/html/ada using this (1.22.1.1).
3737	+ regenerated html files under doc/html/man after correcting top and
3738	  bottom margin options for man2html in dist.mk
3739	+ minor fixes to test programs ncurses 'i' and testcurs program to make
3740	  the subwindow's background color cover the subwindow.
3741	+ modify configure script so AC_MSG_ERROR is temporarily defined to a
3742	  warning in AC_PROG_CXX to make it recover from a missing C++ compiler
3743	  without requiring user to add --without-cxx option (adapted from
3744	  comment by Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> to autoconf mailing list).
3745	+ modify headers.sh to avoid creating temporary files in the build
3746	  directory when installing headers (reported by Sergei Pokrovsky
3747	  <pok@nbsp.nsk.su>)
3748
374920000610
3750	+ regenerated the html files under doc/html/ada/files and
3751	  doc/html/ada/funcs with a slightly-improved gnathtml.
3752	+ add kmous capability to linux terminfo entry to allow it to use
3753	  xterm-style events provided by gpm patch by Joerg Schoen.
3754	+ make the configure macro CF_SHARED_OPTS a little smarter by testing
3755	  if -fPIC is supported by gcc rather than -fpic.  The former option
3756	  allows larger symbol tables.
3757	+ update config.guess and config.sub (patches by
3758	  Kevin Buettner <kev@primenet.com> (for elf64_ia64),
3759	  Bernd Kuemmerlen <bkuemmer@mevis.de> (for MacOS X)).
3760	+ add warning for 'tic -cv' about use of '^?' in terminfo source, which
3761	  is an extension.
3762
376320000527
3764	+ modify echo() behavior of getch() to match Solaris curses for
3765	  carriage return and backspace (reported by Neil Zanella).
3766	+ change _nc_flush() to a function.
3767	+ modify delscreen() to check if the output stream has been closed, and
3768	  if so, free the buffer allocated for setbuf (this provides an
3769	  ncurses-specific way to avoid a memory leak when repeatedly calling
3770	  newterm reported by Chipp C <at_1@zdnetonebox.com>).
3771	+ correct typo in curs_getch.3x manpage regarding noecho (reported by
3772	  David Malone <dwmalone@maths.tcd.ie>).
3773	+ add a "make libs" rule.
3774	+ make the Ada95 interface build with configure --enable-widec.
3775	+ if the configure --enable-widec option is given, append 'w' to names
3776	  of the generated libraries (e.g., libncursesw.so) to avoid conflict
3777	  with existing ncurses libraries.
3778
377920000520
3780	+ modify view.c to make a rudimentary viewer of UTF-8 text if ncurses
3781	  is configured with the experimental wide-character support.
3782	+ add a simple UTF-8 output driver to the experimental wide-character
3783	  support.  If any of the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or
3784	  LANG contain the string "UTF-8", this driver will be used to
3785	  translate the output to UTF-8.  This works with XFree86 xterm.
3786	+ modify configure script to allow building shared libraries on BeOS
3787	  (from a patch by Valeriy E Ushakov).
3788	+ modify lib_addch.c to allow repeated update to the lower-right
3789	  corner, rather than displaying only the first character written until
3790	  the cursor is moved.  Recent versions of SVr4 curses can update the
3791	  lower-right corner, and behave this way (reported by Neil Zanella).
3792	+ add a limit-check in _nc_do_color(), to avoid using invalid color
3793	  pair value (report by Brendan O'Dea <bod@compusol.com.au>).
3794
379520000513
3796	+ the tack program knows how to use smcup and rmcup but the "show caps
3797	  that can be tested" feature did not reflect this knowledge.  Correct
3798	  the display in the menu tack/test/edit/c (patch by Daniel Weaver).
3799	+ xterm-16color does allow bold+colors, removed ncv#32 from that
3800	  terminfo entry.
3801
380220000506
3803	+ correct assignment to SP->_has_sgr_39_49 in lib_dft_fgbg.c, which
3804	  broke check for screen's AX capability (reported by Valeriy E Ushakov
3805	  <uwe@ptc.spbu.ru>).
3806	+ change man2html rule in dist.mk to workaround bug in some
3807	  man-programs that ignores locale when rendering hyphenation.
3808	+ change web- and ftp-site to dickey.his.com
3809
381020000429
3811	+ move _nc_curr_token from parse_entry.c to comp_scan.c, to work around
3812	  problem linking tack on MacOS X DP3.
3813	+ include <sys/time.h> in lib_napms.c to compile on MacOS X DP3
3814	  (reported by Gerben Wierda <wierda@holmes.nl>).
3815	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to check for ncv fixes when pair-0 is not
3816	  default colors.
3817	+ add -d option to ncurses.c, to turn on default-colors for testing.
3818	+ add a check to _nc_makenew() to ensure that newwin() and newpad()
3819	  calls do not silently fail by passing too-large limits.
3820	+ add symbol NCURSES_SIZE_T to use rather than explicit 'short' for
3821	  internal window and pad sizes.  Note that since this is visible in
3822	  the WINDOW struct, it would be an ABI change to make this an 'int'
3823	  (prompted by a question by Bastian Trompetter
3824	  <btrompetter@firemail.de>, who attempted to create a 96000-line pad).
3825
382620000422
3827	+ add mgterm terminfo entry from NetBSD, minor adjustments to sun-ss5,
3828	  aixterm entries -TD
3829	+ modify tack/ansi.c to make it more tolerant of bad ANSI replies.  An
3830	  example of an illegal ANSI resonse can be found using Microsoft's
3831	  Telnet client.  A correct display can be found using a VT-4xx
3832	  terminal or XFree86 xterm with:
3833		XTerm*VT100*decTerminalID:  450
3834	  (patch by Daniel Weaver).
3835	+ modify gdc.c to recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' '
3836	  for resume.  Add '-n' option to force gdc's standard input to
3837	  /dev/null, to both illustrate the use of newterm() for specifying
3838	  alternate inputs as well as for testing signal handling.
3839	+ minor fix for configure option --with-manpage-symlinks, for target
3840	  directories that contain a period ('.') (reported by Larry Virden).
3841
384220000415
3843	+ minor additions to beterm entry (feedback from Rico Tudor) -TD
3844	+ corrections/updates for some IBM terminfo entries -TD
3845	+ modify _nc_screen_wrap() so that when exiting curses mode with
3846	  non-default colors, the last line on the screen will be cleared to
3847	  the screen's default colors (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
3848	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' example to set nonl(), allowing control/M to be
3849	  read for demonstrating the REQ_NEW_LINE operation (prompted by a
3850	  question by Tony L Keith <tlkeith@keithconsulting.com>).
3851	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' example of field_info() to work on Solaris 2.7,
3852	  documented extension of ncurses which allows a zero pointer.
3853	+ modify fmt_complex() to avoid buffer overflow in case of excess
3854	  recursion, and to recognize "%e%?" as a synonym for else-if, which
3855	  means that it will not recur for that special case.
3856	+ add logic to support $TERMCAP variable in case the USE_GETCAP symbol
3857	  is defined (patch by Todd C Miller).
3858	+ modify one of the m4 files used to generate the Ada95 sources,
3859	  to avoid using the token "symbols" (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
3860
386120000408
3862	+ add terminfo entries bsdos-pc-m, bsdos-pc-mono (Jeffrey C Honig)
3863	+ correct spelling error in terminfo entry name:  bq300-rv was given as
3864	  bg300-rv in esr's version.
3865	+ modify redrawwin() macro so its parameter is fully parenthesized
3866	  (fixes Debian bug report #61088).
3867	+ correct formatting error in dump_entry() which set incorrect column
3868	  value when no newline trimming was needed at the end of an entry,
3869	  before appending "use=" clauses (cf: 960406).
3870
387120000401
3872	+ add configure option --with-manpage-symlinks
3873	+ change unctrl() to render C1 characters (128-159) as ~@, ~A, etc.
3874	+ change makefiles so trace() function is provided only if TRACE is
3875	  defined, e.g., in the debug library.  Modify related calls to
3876	  _tracechar() to use unctrl() instead.
3877
387820000325
3879	+ add screen's AX capability (for ECMA SGR 39 and 49) to applicable
3880	  terminfo entries, use presence of this as a check for a small
3881	  improvement in setting default colors.
3882	+ improve logic in _nc_do_color() implementing assume_default_colors()
3883	  by passing in previous color pair info to eliminate redundant call to
3884	  set_original_colors().  (Part of this is from a patch by Alexander
3885	  V Lukyanov).
3886	+ modify warning in _nc_trans_string() about a possibly too-long string
3887	  to do this once only rather than for each character past the
3888	  threshold (600).  Change interface of _nc_trans_string() to allow
3889	  check for buffer overflow.
3890	+ correct use of memset in _nc_read_entry_source() to initialize ENTRY
3891	  struct each time before reading new data into it, rather than once
3892	  per loop (cf:  990301).  This affects multi-entry in-core operations
3893	  such as "infocmp -Fa".
3894
389520000319
3896	+ remove a spurious pointer increment in _nc_infotocap() changes from
3897	  20000311.  Add check for '.' in format of number, since that also
3898	  is not permitted in termcap.
3899	+ correct typo in rxvt-basic terminfo from temporary change made while
3900	  integrating 20000318.
3901
390220000318
3903	+ revert part of the vt220 change (request by Todd C Miller).
3904	+ add ansi-* terminfo entries from ESR's version.
3905	+ add -a option to tic and infocmp, which retains commented-out
3906	  capabilities during source translation/comparison, e.g., captoinfo
3907	  and infotocap.
3908	+ modify cardfile.c to display an empty card if no input data file is
3909	  found, fixes a core dump in that case (reported by Bruno Haible).
3910	+ correct bracketing in CF_MATH_LIB configure macro, which gave wrong
3911	  result for OS/2 EMX.
3912	+ supply required parameter for _nc_resolve_uses() call in
3913	  read_termcap.c, overlooked in 20000311 (reported by Todd C Miller).
3914	> patches by Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>:
3915	+ fix a compiler warning in fty_enum.c
3916	+ correct LIB_PREFIX expression for DEPS_CURSES in progs, tack
3917	  makefiles, which resulted in redundant linking (cf: 20000122).
3918
391920000311
3920	+ make ifdef's for BROKEN_LINKER consistent (patch by Todd C Miller).
3921	+ improved tack/README (patch by Daniel Weaver).
3922	+ modify tput.c to ensure that unspecified parameters are passed to
3923	  tparm() as 0's.
3924	+ add a few checks in infocmp to guard against buffer overflow when
3925	  displaying string capabilities.
3926	+ add check for zero-uses in infocmp's file_comparison() function
3927	  before calling _nc_align_termtype().  Otherwise one parameter is
3928	  indexed past the end of the uses-array.
3929	+ add an option -q to infocmp to specify the less verbose output,
3930	  keeping the existing format as the default, though not retaining the
3931	  previous behavior that made the -F option compare each entry to
3932	  itself.
3933	+ adapted patch by ESR to make infocmp -F less verbose -TD
3934	  (the submitted patch was unusable because it did not compile
3935	  properly)
3936	  + modify write_entry.c to ensure that absent or cancelled booleans
3937	    are written as FALSE, for consistency with infocmp which now
3938	    assumes this.  Note that for the small-core configuration, tic
3939	    may not produce the same result as before.
3940	  + change some private library interfaces used by infocmp, e.g.,
3941	    _nc_resolve_uses().
3942	  + add a check in _nc_infotocap() to ensure that cm-style capabilities
3943	    accept only %d codes when converting the format from terminfo to
3944	    termcap.
3945	  + modify ENTRY struct to separate the data in 'parent' into the name
3946	    and link values (the original idea to merge both into 'parent' was
3947	    not good).
3948	  + discard repair_acsc(tterm);
3949	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
3950	+ drop support for gnat 3.10
3951	+ move generated documentation and html files under ./doc directory,
3952	  adding makefile rules for this to dist.mk
3953
395420000304
3955	+ correct conflicting use of tparm() in 20000226 change to tic, which
3956	  made it check only one entry at a time.
3957	+ fix errors in ncurses-intro.html and hackguide.html shown by Dave
3958	  Raggett's tidy.
3959	+ make the example in ncurses-intro.html do something plausible, and
3960	  corrected misleading comment (reported by Neil Zanella).
3961	+ modify pnoutrefresh() to set newscr->_leaveok as wnoutrefresh() does,
3962	  to fix a case where the cursor position was not updated as in
3963	  Solaris  (patch by David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>).
3964	+ add a limit-check for wresize() to ensure that a subwindow does not
3965	  address out of bounds.
3966	+ correct offsets used for subwindows in wresize() (patch by Michael
3967	  Andres <ma@suse.de>).
3968	+ regenerate html'ized manual pages with man2html 3.0.1 (patch by
3969	  Juergen Pfeifer).  This generated a file with a space in its name,
3970	  which I removed.
3971	+ fix a few spelling errors in tack.
3972	+ modify tack/Makefile.in to match linker options of progs/Makefile.in;
3973	  otherwise it does not build properly for older HPUX shared library
3974	  configurations.
3975	+ add several terminfo entries from esr's "11.0".
3976
397720000226
3978	+ make 'tput flash' work properly for xterm by flushing output in
3979	  delay_output() when using napms(), and modifying xterm's terminfo to
3980	  specify no padding character.  Otherwise, xterm's reported baud rate
3981	  can mislead ncurses into producing too few padding characters
3982	  (Debian #58530).
3983	+ add a check to tic for consistency between sgr and the separate
3984	  capabilities such as smso, use this to check/correct several
3985	  terminfo entries (Debian #58530).
3986	+ add a check to tic if cvvis is the same as cnorm, adjusted several
3987	  terminfo entries to remove the conflict (Debian #58530).
3988	+ correct prototype shown in attr_set()/wattr_set() manpages (fixes
3989	  Debian #53962).
3990	+ minor clarification for curs_set() and leaveok() manpages.
3991	+ use mkstemp() for creating temporary file for tic's processing of
3992	  $TERMCAP contents (fixes Debian #56465).
3993	+ correct two errors from integrating Alexander's changes:  did not
3994	  handle the non-bce case properly in can_erase_with() (noted by
3995	  Alexander), and left fg/bg uninitialized in the pair-zero case of
3996	  _nc_do_color() (reported by Dr Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> and
3997	  Ismael Cordeiro <ismael@cordeiro.com>).
3998
399920000219
4000	+ store default-color code consistently as C_MASK, even if given as
4001	  -1 for convenience (adapted from patches by Alexander V Lukyanov).
4002	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
4003	+ change can_clear_with() macro to accommodate logic for
4004	  assume_default_colors(), making most of the FILL_BCE logic
4005	  unnecessary.  Made can_clear_with() an inline function to make it
4006	  simpler to read.
4007
400820000212
4009	+ corrected form of recent copyright dates.
4010	+ minor corrections to xterm-xf86-v333 terminfo entry -TD
4011	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
4012	+ reworded dft_fgbg.3x to avoid assuming that the terminal's default
4013	  colors are white on black.
4014	+ fix initialization of tstLine so that it is filled with current blank
4015	  character in any case.  Previously it was possible to have it filled
4016	  with old blank.  The wrong over-optimization was introduced in 991002
4017	  patch.  (it is not very critical as the only bad effect is not using
4018	  clr_eos for clearing if blank has changed).
4019
402020000205
4021	+ minor corrections/updates to several terminfo entries: rxvt-basic,
4022	  vt520, vt525, ibm5151, xterm-xf86-v40 -TD
4023	+ modify ifdef's for poll() to allow it to use <sys/poll.h>, thereby
4024	  allowing poll() to be used on Linux.
4025	+ add CF_FUNC_POLL macro to check if poll() is able to select from
4026	  standard input.  If not we will not use it, preferring select()
4027	  (adapted from patch by Michael Pakovic <mpakovic@fdn.com>).
4028	+ update CF_SHARED_OPTS macro for SCO Unixware 7.1 to allow building
4029	  shared libraries (reported/tested by Thanh <thanhma@mediaone.net>).
4030	+ override $LANGUAGE in build to avoid incorrect ordering of keynames.
4031	+ correct CF_MATH_LIB parameter, must be sin(x), not sqrt(x).
4032
403320000122
4034	+ resync CF_CHECK_ERRNO and CF_LIB_PREFIX macros from tin and xterm -TD
4035	+ modify CF_MATH_LIB configure macro to parameterize the test function
4036	  used, for reuse in dialog and similar packages.
4037	+ correct tests for file-descriptors in OS/2 EMX mouse support.  A
4038	  negative value could be used by FD_SET, causing the select() call
4039	  to wait indefinitely.
4040
404120000115
4042	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of delete_character)
4043	  to work when assume_default_colors() is not specified.
4044	+ modify warning message from _nc_parse_entry() regarding extended
4045	  capability names to print only if tic/infocmp/toe have the -v flag
4046	  set, and not at all in ordinary user applications.  Otherwise, this
4047	  warning would be shown for screen's extended capabilities in programs
4048	  that use the termcap interface (reported by Todd C Miller).
4049	+ modify use of _nc_tracing from programs such as tic so their debug
4050	  level is not in the same range as values set by trace() function.
4051	+ small panel header cleanup (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
4052	+ add 'railroad' demo for termcap interface.
4053	+ modify 'tic' to write its usage message to stderr (patch by Todd C
4054	  Miller).
4055
405620000108
4057	+ add prototype for erase() to curses.h.in, needed to make test
4058	  programs build with c++/g++.
4059	+ add .c.i and .c.h suffix rules to generated makefiles, for debugging.
4060	+ correct install rule for tack.1; it assumed that file was in the
4061	  current directory (reported by Mike Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com>).
4062	+ modify terminfo/termcap translation to suppress acsc before trying
4063	  sgr if the entry would be too large (patch by Todd C Miller).
4064	+ document a special case of incompatiblity between ncurses 4.2 and
4065	  5.0, add a section for this in INSTALL.
4066	+ add TRACE_DATABASE flag for trace().
4067
406820000101
4069	+ update mach, add mach-color terminfo entries based on Debian diffs
4070	  for ncurses 5.0 -TD
4071	+ add entries for xterm-hp, xterm-vt220, xterm-vt52 and xterm-noapp
4072	  terminfo entries -TD
4073	+ change OTrs capabilities to rs2 in terminfo.src -TD
4074	+ add obsolete and extended capabilities to 'screen' terminfo -TD
4075	+ corrected conversion from terminfo rs2 to termcap rs (cf: 980704)
4076	+ make conversion to termcap ug (underline glitch) more consistently
4077	  applied.
4078	+ fix out-of-scope use of 'personal[]' buffer in 'toe' (this error
4079	  was in the original pre-1.9.7 version, when $HOME/.terminfo was
4080	  introduced).
4081	+ modify 'toe' to ignore terminfo directories to which it has no
4082	  permissions.
4083	+ modify read_termtype(), fixing 'toe', which could dump core when it
4084	  found an incomplete entry such as "dumb" because it did not
4085	  initialize its buffer for _nc_read_file_entry().
4086	+ use -fPIC rather than -fpic for shared libraries on Linux, not
4087	  needed for i386 but some ports (from Debian diffs for 5.0) -TD
4088	+ use explicit VALID_NUMERIC() checks in a few places that had been
4089	  overlooked, and add a check to ensure that init_tabs is nonzero,
4090	  to avoid divide-by-zero (reported by Todd C Miller).
4091	+ minor fix for CF_ANSI_CC_CHECK configure macro, for HPUX 10.x (from
4092	  tin) -TD
4093
409419991218
4095	+ reorder tests during mouse initialization to allow for gpm to run in
4096	  xterm, or for xterm to be used under OS/2 EMX.  Also drop test for
4097	  $DISPLAY in favor of kmous=\E[M or $TERM containing "xterm" (report
4098	  by Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>).
4099	+ modify raw() and noraw() to clear/restore IEXTEN flag which affects
4100	  stty lnext on systems such as FreeBSD (report by Bruce Evans
4101	  <bde@zeta.org.au>, via Jason Evans <jasone@canonware.com>).
4102	+ fix a potential (but unlikely) buffer overflow in failed() function
4103	  of tset.c (reported by Todd C Miller).
4104	+ add manual-page for ncurses extensions, documented curses_version(),
4105	  use_extended_names().
4106
410719991211
4108	+ treat as untranslatable to termcap those terminfo strings which
4109	  contain non-decimal formatting, e.g., hexadecimal or octal.
4110	+ correct commented-out capabilities that cannot be translated to
4111	  termcap, which did not check if a colon must be escaped.
4112	+ correct termcap translation for "%>" and "%+", which did not check
4113	  if a colon must be escaped, for instance.
4114	+ use save_string/save_char for _nc_captoinfo() to eliminate fixed
4115	  buffer (originally for _nc_infotocap() in 960301 -TD).
4116	+ correct expression used for terminfo equivalent of termcap %B,
4117	  adjust regent100 entry which uses this.
4118	+ some cleanup and commenting of ad hoc cases in _nc_infotocap().
4119	+ eliminate a fixed-buffer in tic, used for translating comments.
4120	+ add manpage for infotocap
4121
412219991204
4123	+ add kvt and gnome terminfo entries -TD
4124	+ correct translation of "%%" by infotocap, which was emitted as "%".
4125	+ add "obsolete" termcap strings to terminfo.src
4126	+ modify infocmp to default to showing obsolete capabilities rather
4127	  than terminfo only.
4128	+ modify write_entry.c so that if extended names (i.e., configure
4129	  --enable-tcap-names) are active, then tic will also write "obsolete"
4130	  capabilities that are present in the terminfo source.
4131	+ modify tic so that when running as captoinfo or infotocap, it
4132	  initializes the output format as in -C and -I options, respectively.
4133	+ improve infocmp and tic -f option by splitting long strings that do
4134	  not have if-then-else construct, but do have parameters, e.g., the
4135	  initc for xterm-88color.
4136	+ refine MKtermsort.sh slightly by using bool for the *_from_termcap
4137	  arrays.
4138
413919991127
4140	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of clear_screen,
4141	  clr_eol, clr_eos, scrolling) to work when assume_default_colors() is
4142	  not specified.
4143	+ several small changes to xterm terminfo entries -TD.
4144	+ move logic for _nc_windows in lib_freeall.c inside check for nonnull
4145	  SP, since it is part of that struct.
4146	+ remove obsolete shlib-versions, which was unintentionally re-added
4147	  in 970927.
4148	+ modify infocmp -e, -E options to ensure that generated fallback.c
4149	  type for Booleans agrees with term.h (reported by Eric Norum
4150	  <eric@cls.usask.ca>).
4151	+ correct configure script's use of $LIB_PREFIX, which did not work
4152	  for installing the c++ directory if $libdir did not end with "/lib"
4153	  (reported by Huy Le <huyle@ugcs.caltech.edu>).
4154	+ modify infocmp so -L and -f options work together.
4155	+ modify the initialization of SP->_color_table[] in start_color() so
4156	  that color_content() will return usable values for COLORS greater
4157	  than 8.
4158	+ modify ncurses 'd' test in case COLORS is greater than 16, e.g., for
4159	  xterm-88color, to limit the displayed/computed colors to 16.
4160	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
4161	+ simplify coding of the panel library according to suggestions by
4162	  Philippe Blain.
4163	+ improve macro coding for a few macros in curses.priv.h
4164
416519991113
4166	+ modify treatment of color pair 0 so that if ncurses is configured
4167	  to support default colors, and they are not active, then ncurses
4168	  will set that explicitly, not relying on orig_colors or orig_pair.
4169	+ add new extension, assume_default_colors() to provide better control
4170	  over the use of default colors.
4171	+ modify test programs to use more-specific ifdef's for existence of
4172	  wresize(), resizeterm() and use_default_colors().
4173	+ modify configure script to add specific ifdef's for some functions
4174	  that are included when --enable-ext-funcs is in effect, so their
4175	  existence can be ifdef'd in the test programs.
4176	+ reorder some configure options, moving those extensions that have
4177	  evolved from experimental status into a new section.
4178	+ change configure --enable-tcap-names to enable this by default.
4179
418019991106
4181	+ install tack's manpage (reported by Robert Weiner
4182	  <robert@progplus.com>)
4183	+ correct worm.c's handling of KEY_RESIZE (patch by Frank Heckenbach).
4184	+ modify curses.h.in, undef'ing some symbols to avoid conflict with C++
4185	  STL (reported by Matt Gerassimoff <mgeras@ticon.net>)
4186
418719991030
4188	+ modify linux terminfo entry to indicate that dim does not mix with
4189	  color (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@enteract.com>).
4190	+ correct several typos in terminfo entries related to missing '['
4191	  in CSI's -TD
4192	+ fix several compiler warnings in c++ binding (reported by Tim
4193	  Mooney for alphaev56-dec-osf4.0f
4194	+ rename parameter of _nc_free_entries() to accommodate lint.
4195	+ correct lint rule for tack, used incorrect list of source files.
4196	+ add case to config.guess, config.sub for Rhapsody.
4197	+ improve configure tests for libg++ and libstdc++ by omitting the
4198	  math library (which is missing on Rhapsody), and improved test for
4199	  the math library itself (adapted from path by Nelson H. F. Beebe).
4200	+ explicitly initialize to zero several data items which were
4201	  implicitly initialized, e.g., cur_term.  If not explicitly
4202	  initialized, their storage type is C (common), and causes problems
4203	  linking on Rhapsody 5.5 using gcc 2.7.2.1 (reported by Nelson H. F.
4204	  Beebe).
4205	+ modify Ada95 binding to not include the linker option for Ada
4206	  bindings in the Ada headers, but in the Makefiles instead (patch by
4207	  Juergen Pfeifer).
4208
420919991023 5.0 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
4210	+ effective with release of 5.0, change NCURSES_VERSION_PATCH to
4211	  4-digit year.
4212	+ add function curses_version(), to return ncurses library version
4213	  (request by Bob van der Poel).
4214	+ remove rmam, smam from cygwin terminfo entry.
4215	+ modify FreeBSD cons25 terminfo entry to add cnorm and cvvis, as well
4216	  as update ncv to indicate that 'dim' conflicts with colors.
4217	+ modify configure script to use symbolic links for FreeBSD shared
4218	  libraries by default.
4219	+ correct ranf() function in rain and worm programs to ensure it does
4220	  not return 1.0
4221	+ hide the cursor in hanoi.c if it is running automatically.
4222	+ amend lrtest.c to account for optimizations that exploit margin
4223	  wrapping.
4224	+ add a simple terminfo demo, dots.c
4225	+ modify SIGINT/SIGQUIT handler to set a flag used in _nc_outch() to
4226	  tell it to use write() rather than putc(), since the latter is not
4227	  safe in a signal handler according to POSIX.
4228	+ add/use internal macros _nc_flush() and NC_OUTPUT to hide details
4229	  of output-file pointer in ncurses library.
4230	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS (see 971115), since they are needed for SCO
4231	  OpenServer.
4232	+ correct CC_SHARED_OPTS for building shared libraries for SCO
4233	  OpenServer.
4234	+ remove usleep() from alternatives in napms(), since it may interact
4235	  with alarm(), causing a process to be interrupted by SIGALRM (with
4236	  advice from Bela Lubkin).
4237	+ modify terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4 to build/work with
4238	  GNAT 3.10 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
4239	+ remove part of CF_GPP_LIBRARY configure-script macro, which did not
4240	  work with gcc 2.7.2.3
4241	+ minor fix to test/tclock.c to avoid beeping more than once per second
4242	+ add 's' and ' ' decoding to test/rain.c
4243
4244991016	pre-release
4245	+ corrected BeOS code for lib_twait.c, making nodelay() function work.
4246
4247991009	pre-release
4248	+ correct ncurses' value for cursor-column in PutCharLR(), which was
4249	  off-by-one in one case (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
4250	+ fix some minor errors in position_check() debugging code, found while
4251	  using this to validate the PutCharLR() patch.
4252	+ modify firework, lrtest, worm examples to be resizable, and to
4253	  recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' ' for resume.
4254	+ restore reverted change to  terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
4255	  add a note on building with gnat 3.10p to Ada95/TODO.
4256	+ add a copy of the standalone configure script for the test-directory
4257	  to simplify testing on SCO and Solaris.
4258
4259991002	pre-release
4260	+ minor fixes for _nc_msec_cost(), color_content(), pair_content(),
4261	  _nc_freewin(), ClrBottom() and onscreen_mvcur() (analysis by Philippe
4262	  Blain, comments by Alexander V Lukyanov).
4263	+ simplify definition of PANEL and eliminate internal functions
4264	  _nc_calculate_obscure(), _nc_free_obscure() and _nc_override(),
4265	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, analysis by Philippe Blain
4266	  <bledp@voila.fr>)).
4267	+ change renaming of dft_fgbg.3x to use_default_colors.3ncurses in
4268	  man_db.renames, since Debian is not concerned with 14-character
4269	  filename limitation (from Debian bug report by Josip Rodin
4270	  <joy@cibalia.gkvk.hr>).
4271	+ corrected scoansi terminfo entry by testing with scoterm and console.
4272	+ revert change from 990614 to terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
4273	  since this does not work for gnat 3.10p
4274	+ modify tclock example to be resizable (if ncurses' sigwinch handler
4275	  is used), and in color.
4276	+ use $(CC) rather than 'gcc' in MK_SHARED_LIB symbols, used for Linux
4277	  shared library rules.
4278
4279990925	pre-release
4280	+ add newer NetBSD console terminfo entries
4281	+ add amiga-8bit terminfo entry (from Henning 'Faroul' Peters
4282	  <Faroul@beyond.kn-bremen.de>)
4283	+ remove -lcurses -ltermcap from configure script's check for the gpm
4284	  library, since they are not really necessary (a properly configured
4285	  gpm library has no dependency on any curses library), and if the
4286	  curses library is not installed, this would cause the test to fail.
4287	+ modify tic's -C option so that terminfo "use=" clauses are translated
4288	  to "tc=" clauses even when running it as captoinfo.
4289	+ modify CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY configure macro to perform its check only
4290	  for GNU C++, since that library conflicts with SGI's libC on IRIX-6.2
4291	+ modify CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro to support build on NetBSD with
4292	  ELF libraries (patch by Bernd Ernesti <bernd@arresum.inka.de>).
4293	+ correct a problem in libpanel, where the _nc_top_panel variable was
4294	  not set properly when bottom_panel() is called to hide a panel which
4295	  is the only one on the stack (report/analysis by Michael Andres
4296	  <ma@suse.de>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
4297
4298990918	pre-release
4299	+ add acsc string to HP 70092 terminfo entry (patch by Joerg Wunsch
4300	  <j@interface-business.de>).
4301	+ add top-level uninstall.data and uninstall.man makefile rules.
4302	+ correct logic of CF_LINK_FUNCS configure script, from BeOS changes so
4303	  that hard-links work on Unix again.
4304	+ change default value of cf_cv_builtin_bool to 1 (suggested by
4305	  Jeremy Buhler), making it less likely that a conflicting declaration
4306	  of bool will be seen when compiling with C++.
4307
4308990911	pre-release
4309	+ improved configure checks for builtin.h
4310	+ minor changes to C++ binding (remove static initializations, and make
4311	  configure-test for parameter initializations) for features not
4312	  allowed by vendor's C++ compilers (reported by Martin Mokrejs, this
4313	  applies to SGI, though I found SCO has the same characteristics).
4314	+ corrected quoting of ETIP_xxx definitions which support old versions
4315	  of g++, e.g., those using -lg++
4316	+ remove 'L' code from safe_sprintf.c, since 'long double' is not
4317	  widely portable.  safe_sprintf.c is experimental, however, and
4318	  exists mainly as a fallback for systems without snprintf (reported
4319	  by Martin Mokrejs <mmokrejs@natur.cuni.cz>, for IRIX 6.2)
4320	+ modify definition of _nc_tinfo_fkeys in broken-linker configuration
4321	  so that it is not unnecessarily made extern (Jeffrey C Honig).
4322
4323990904	pre-release
4324	+ move definition for builtin.h in configure tests to specific check
4325	  for libg++, since qt uses the same filename incompatibly.
4326	+ correct logic of lib_termcap.c tgetstr function, which did not copy
4327	  the result to the buffer parameter.  Testing shows Solaris does
4328	  update this, though of course tgetent's buffer is untouched (reported
4329	  in Peter Edwards <peter.edwards@ireland.com> in
4330	  mpc.lists.freebsd.current newsgroup.
4331	+ corrected beterm terminfo entry, which lists some capabilities which
4332	  are not actually provided by the BeOS Terminal.
4333	+ add special logic to replace select() calls on BeOS, whose select()
4334	  function works only for sockets.
4335	+ correct missing escape in mkterm.h.awk.in, which caused part
4336	  of the copyright noticed to be omitted (reported by Peter
4337	  Wemm <peter@netplex.com.au>).
4338	> several small changes to make the c++ binding and demo work on OS/2
4339	  EMX (related to a clean reinstall of EMX):
4340	+ correct library-prefix for c++ binding; none is needed.
4341	+ add $x suffix to make_hash and make_keys so 'make distclean' works.
4342	+ correct missing $x suffix for tack, c++ demo executables.
4343	+ split CF_CXX_LIBRARY into CF_GPP_LIBRARY (for -lg++) and
4344	  CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY (for -lstdc++)
4345
4346990828	pre-release
4347	+ add cygwin terminfo entry -TD
4348	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT configure macro to set .exe extension for cygwin.
4349	+ add configure option --without-cxx-binding, modifying the existing
4350	  --without-cxx option to check only for the C++ compiler
4351	  characteristics.  Whether or not the C++ binding is needed, the
4352	  configure script checks for the size/type of bool, to make ncurses
4353	  match.  Otherwise C++ applications cannot use ncurses.
4354
4355990821	pre-release
4356	+ updated configure macros CF_MAKEFLAGS, CF_CHECK_ERRNO
4357	+ minor corrections to beterm terminfo entry.
4358	+ modify lib_setup.c to reject values of $TERM which have a '/' in
4359	  them.
4360	+ add ifdef's to guard against CS5, CS6, CS7, CS8 being zero, as more
4361	  than one is on BeOS.  That would break a switch statement.
4362	+ add configure macro CF_LINK_FUNCS to detect and work around BeOS's
4363	  nonfunctional link().
4364	+ improved configure macros CF_BOOL_DECL and CF_BOOL_SIZE to detect
4365	  BeOS's bool, which is declared as an unsigned char.
4366
4367990814	pre-release
4368	+ add ms-vt100 terminfo entry -TD
4369	+ minor fixes for misc/emx.src, based on testing with tack.
4370	+ minor fix for test/ncurses.c, test 'a', in case ncv is not set.
4371
4372990731	pre-release
4373	+ minor correction for 'screen' terminfo entry.
4374	+ clarify description of errret values for setupterm in manpage.
4375	+ modify tput to allow it to emit capabilities for hardcopy terminals
4376	  (patch by Goran Uddeborg <goeran@uddeborg.pp.se>).
4377	+ modify the 'o' (panel) test in ncurses.c to show the panels in color
4378	  or at least in bold, to test Juergen's change to wrefresh().
4379	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
4380	+ Fixes a problem using wbkgdset() with panels.  It has actually
4381	  nothing to with panels but is a problem in the implementation of
4382	  wrefresh().  Whenever a window changes its background attribute to
4383	  something different than newscr's background attribute, the whole
4384	  window is touched to force a copy to newscr.  This is an unwanted
4385	  side-effect of wrefresh() and it is actually not necessary.  A
4386	  changed background attribute affects only further outputs of
4387	  background it doesn't mean anything to the current content of the
4388	  window.  So there is no need to force a copy.  (reported by Frank
4389	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>).
4390	+ an upward compatible enhancement of the NCursesPad class in the C++
4391	  binding.  It allows one to add a "viewport" window to a pad and then
4392	  to use panning to view the pad through the viewport window.
4393
4394990724	pre-release
4395	+ suppress a call to def_prog_mode() in the SIGTSTP handler if the
4396	  signal was received while not in curses mode, e.g., endwin() was
4397	  called in preparation for spawning a shell command (reported by Frank
4398	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
4399	+ corrected/enhanced xterm-r5, xterm+sl, xterm+sl-twm terminfo entries.
4400	+ change test for xterm mouse capability:  it now checks only if the
4401	  user's $DISPLAY variable is set in conjunction with the kmous
4402	  capability being present in the terminfo.  Before, it checked if any
4403	  of "xterm", "rxvt" or "kterm" were substrings of the terminal name.
4404	  However, some emulators which are incompatible with xterm in other
4405	  ways do support the xterm mouse capability.
4406	+ reviewed and made minor changes in ncurses to quiet g++ warnings
4407	  about shadowed or uninitialized variables.  g++ incorrectly warns
4408	  about uninitialized variables because it does not take into account
4409	  short-circuit expression evaluation.
4410	+ change ncurses 'b' test to start in color pair 0 and to show in the
4411	  right margin those attributes which are suppressed by no_color_video,
4412	  i.e., "(NCV)".
4413	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h so that __attribute__ is not redefined
4414	  when compiling with g++, but instead disabled the macros derived for
4415	  __attribute__ since g++ does not consistently recognize the same
4416	  keywords as gcc (reported by Stephan K Zitz <zitz@erf.net>).
4417	+ update dependencies for term.h in ncurses/modules (reported by
4418	  Ilya Zakharevich).
4419
4420990710	pre-release
4421	+ modify the form demo in ncurses.c to illustrate how to manipulate the
4422	  field appearance, e.g, for highlighting or translating the field
4423	  contents.
4424	+ correct logic in write_entry from split-out of home_terminfo in
4425	  980919, which prevented update of $HOME/.terminfo (reported by Philip
4426	  Spencer <pspencer@fields.utoronto.ca>).
4427
4428990703	pre-release
4429	+ modify linux terminfo description to make use of kernel 2.2.x mods
4430	  that support cursor style, e.g., to implement cvvis (patch by Frank
4431	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
4432	+ add special-case in setupterm to retain previously-saved terminal
4433	  settings in cur_term, which happens when curses and termcap calls are
4434	  mixed (from report by Bjorn Helgaas <helgaas@dhc.net>).
4435	+ suppress initialization of key-tries in _nc_keypad() if we are only
4436	  disabling keypad mode, e.g., in endwin() called when keypad() was
4437	  not.
4438	+ modify the Ada95 makefile to ensure that always the Ada files from
4439	  the development tree are used for building and not the eventually
4440	  installed ones (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
4441
4442990626	pre-release
4443	+ use TTY definition in tack/sysdep.c rather than struct termios
4444	  (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
4445	+ add a fallback for strstr, used in lib_mvcur.c and tack/edit.c,
4446	  not present on sysV68 (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
4447	+ correct definition in comp_hash.c to build with configure
4448	  --with-rcs-ids option.
4449
4450990619	pre-release
4451	+ modified ifdef's for sigaction and sigvec to ensure we do not try to
4452	  handle SIGTSTP if neither is available (from report by Philippe De
4453	  Muyter).
4454	> patch by Philippe De Muyter:
4455	+ in tic.c, use `unlink' if `remove' is not available.
4456	+ use only `unsigned' as fallback value for `speed_t'.  Some files used
4457	  `short' instead.
4458
4459990616	pre-release
4460	+ fix some compiler warnings in tack.
4461	+ add a check for predefined bool type in CC, based on report that
4462	  BeOS predefines a bool type.
4463	+ correct logic for infocmp -e option, i.e., the configure
4464	  --with-fallbacks option, which I'd not updated when implementing
4465	  extended names (cf:  990301).  The new implementation adds a "-E"
4466	  option to infocmp -TD
4467	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
4468	+ introduce the private type Curses_Bool in the Ada95 binding
4469	  implementation.  This is to clearly represent the use of "bool" also
4470	  in the binding.  It should have no effect on the generated code.
4471	+ improve the man page for field_buffer() to tell the people, that the
4472	  whole buffer including leading/trailing spaces is returned.  This is
4473	  a common source of confusion, so it's better to document it clearly.
4474
4475990614	pre-release
4476	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
4477	+ use pragma PreElaborate in several places.
4478	+ change a few System.Address uses to more specific types.
4479	+ change interface version-number to 1.0
4480	+ regenerate Ada95 HTML files.
4481
4482990612	pre-release
4483	+ modify lib_endwin.c to avoid calling reset_shell_mode(), return ERR
4484	  if it appears that curses was never initialized, e.g., by initscr().
4485	  For instance, this guards against setting the terminal modes to
4486	  strange values if endwin() is called after setupterm().  In the same
4487	  context, Solaris curses will dump core.
4488	+ modify logic that avoids a conflict in lib_vidattr.c between sgr0 and
4489	  equivalent values in rmso or rmul by ensuring we do not modify the
4490	  data which would be returned by the terminfo or termcap interfaces
4491	  (reported by Brad Pepers <brad@linuxcanada.com>, cf:  960706).
4492	+ add a null-pointer check for SP in lib_vidattr.c to logic that checks
4493	  for magic cookies.
4494	+ improve fallback declaration of 'bool' when the --without-cxx option
4495	  is given, by using a 'char' on i386 and related hosts (prompted by
4496	  discussion with Alexander V Lukyanov).
4497
4498990605	pre-release
4499	+ include time.h in lib_napms.c if nanosleep is used (patch by
4500	  R Lindsay Todd <toddr@rpi.edu>).
4501	+ add an "#undef bool" to curses.h, in case someone tries to define it,
4502	  e.g., perl.
4503	+ add check to tparm to guard against divide by zero (reported by Aaron
4504	  Campbell <aaron@ug.cs.dal.ca>).
4505
4506990516	pre-release
4507	+ minor fix to build tack on CLIX (mismatched const).
4508	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
4509	+ change Juergen's old email address with new one in the files where it
4510	  is referenced.  The Ada95 HTML pages are regenerated.
4511	+ update MANIFEST to list the tack files.
4512
4513990509	pre-release
4514	+ minor fixes to make 'tack' build/link on NeXT (reported by Francisco
4515	  A. Tomei Torres).
4516
4517990417	pre-release
4518	+ add 'tack' program (which is GPL'd), updating it to work with the
4519	  modified TERMTYPE struct and making a fix to support setaf/setab
4520	  capabilities.  Note that the tack program is not part of the
4521	  ncurses libraries, but an application which can be distributed with
4522	  ncurses.  The configure script will ignore the directory if it is
4523	  omitted, however.
4524	+ modify gpm mouse support so that buttons 2 and 3 are used for
4525	  select/paste only when shift key is pressed, making them available
4526	  for use by an application (patch by Klaus Weide).
4527	+ add complete list of function keys to scoansi terminfo entry - TD
4528
4529990410	pre-release
4530	+ add a simple test program cardfile.c to illustrate how to read form
4531	  fields, and showing forms within panels.
4532	+ change shared-library versioning for the Hurd to be like Linux rather
4533	  than *BSD (patch by Mark Kettenis <kettenis@wins.uva.nl>).
4534	+ add linux-lat terminfo entry.
4535	+ back-out _nc_access check in read_termcap.c (both incorrect and
4536	  unnecessary, except to guard against a small window where the file's
4537	  ownership may change).
4538
4539990403	pre-release
4540	+ remove conflicting _nc_free_termtype() function from test module
4541	  lib_freeall.c
4542	+ use _nc_access check in read_termcap.c for termpaths[] array (noted
4543	  by Jeremy Buhler, indicating that Alan Cox made a similar patch).
4544	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
4545	+ modify menu creation to not inherit status flag from the default menu
4546	  which says that the associated marker string has been allocated and
4547	  should be freed (bug reported by Marek Paliwoda"
4548	  <paliwoda@kki.net.pl>)
4549
4550990327	pre-release (alpha.gnu.org:/gnu/ncurses-5.0-beta1.tar.gz)
4551	+ minor fixes to xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry - TD.
4552	+ split up an expression in configure script check for ldconfig to
4553	  workaround limitation of BSD/OS sh (reported by Jeff Haas
4554	  <jmh@mail.msen.com>).
4555	+ correct a typo in man/form_hook.3x (Todd C Miller).
4556
4557990318	pre-release
4558	+ parenthesize and undef 'index' symbol in c++ binding and demo, to
4559	  accommodate its definition on NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei
4560	  Torres).
4561	+ add sigismember() to base/sigaction.c compatibility to link on NeXT
4562	  (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
4563	+ further refinements to inequality in hashmap.c to cover a case with
4564	  ^U in nvi (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
4565
4566990316	pre-release
4567	+ add fallback definition for getcwd, to link on NeXT.
4568	+ add a copy of cur_term to tic.c to make it link properly on NeXT
4569	  (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
4570	+ change inequality in hashmap.c which checks the distance traveled by
4571	  a chunk so that ^D command in nvi (scrolls 1/2 screen) will use
4572	  scrolling logic (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov, reported by Jeffrey
4573	  C Honig).
4574
4575990314	pre-release
4576	+ modify lib_color.c to handle a special case where the curscr
4577	  attributes have been made obsolete (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
4578	+ update BSD/OS console terminfo entries to use klone+sgr and
4579	  klone+color (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
4580	+ update glibc addon configure script for extended capabilities.
4581	+ correct a couple of warnings in the --enable-const configuration.
4582	+ make comp_hash build properly with _nc_strdup(), on NeXT (reported by
4583	  Francisco A. Tomei Torres <francisco.tomei@cwix.com>).
4584
4585990313	pre-release
4586	+ correct typos in linux-c initc string - TD
4587	+ add 'crt' terminfo entry, update xterm-xfree86 entry - TD
4588	+ remove a spurious argument to tparm() in lib_sklrefr.c (patch by
4589	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
4590
4591990307	pre-release
4592	+ back-out change to wgetch because it causes a problem with ^Z
4593	  handling in lynx (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
4594
4595990306	pre-release
4596	+ add -G option to tic and infocmp, to reverse the -g option.
4597	+ recode functions in name_match.c to avoid use of strncpy, which
4598	  caused a 4-fold slowdown in tic (cf: 980530).
4599	+ correct a few warnings about sign-extension in recent changes.
4600	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
4601	+ fixes suggested by Jeff Bradbury <jibradbury@lucent.com>:
4602	  + improved parameter checking in new_fieldtype().
4603	  + fixed a typo in wgetch() timeout handling.
4604	  + allow slk_init() to be called per newterm call.  The internal SLK
4605	    state is stored in the SCREEN struct after every newterm() and then
4606	    reset for the next newterm.
4607	  + fix the problem that a slk_refresh() refreshes stdscr if the
4608	    terminal has true SLKs.
4609	+ update HTML documentation for Ada binding.
4610
4611990301	pre-release
4612	+ remove 'bool' casts from definitions of TRUE/FALSE so that statements
4613	  such as "#if TRUE" work.  This was originally done to allow for a C++
4614	  compiler which would warn of implicit conversions between enum and
4615	  int, but is not needed for g++ (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
4616	+ add use_extended_names() function to allow applications to suppress
4617	  read of the extended capabilities.
4618	+ add configure option --enable-tcap-names to support logic which
4619	  allows ncurses' tic to define new (i.e., extended) terminal
4620	  capabilities.  This is activated by the tic -x switch.  The infocmp
4621	  program automatically shows or compares extended capabilities.
4622	  Note:  This changes the Strings and similar arrays in the TERMTYPE
4623	  struct so that applications which manipulate it must be recompiled.
4624	+ use macros typeMalloc, typeCalloc and typeRealloc consistently
4625	  throughout ncurses library.
4626	+ add _nc_strdup() to doalloc.c.
4627	+ modify define_key() to allow multiple strings to be bound to the
4628	  same keycode.
4629	+ correct logic error in _nc_remove_string, from 990220.
4630	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
4631	+ regenerate some of the html documentation
4632	+ minor cleanup in terminal_interface-curses.adb
4633
4634990220	pre-release
4635	+ resolve ambiguity of kend/kll/kslt and khome/kfnd/kich1 strings in
4636	  xterm and ncsa terminfo entries by removing the unneeded ones.  Note
4637	  that some entries will return kend & khome versus kslt and kfnd, for
4638	  PC-style keyboards versus strict vt220 compatiblity - TD
4639	+ add function keybound(), which returns the definition associated with
4640	  a given keycode.
4641	+ modify define_key() to undefine the given string when no keycode is
4642	  given.
4643	+ modify keyok() so it works properly if there is more than one string
4644	  defined for a keycode.
4645	+ add check to tic to warn about terminfo descriptions that contain
4646	  more than one key assigned to the same string.  This is shown only if
4647	  the verbose (-v) option is given.  Moved related logic (tic -v) from
4648	  comp_parse.c into the tic program.
4649	+ add/use _nc_trace_tries() to show the function keys that will be
4650	  recognized.
4651	+ rename init_acs to _nc_init_acs (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
4652	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
4653	+ remove all the *_adabind.c from ncurses, menu and form projects.
4654	  Those little helper routines have all been implemented in Ada and are
4655	  no longer required.
4656	+ The option handling routines in menu and form have been made more
4657	  save.  They now make sure that the unused bits in options are always
4658	  zero.
4659	+ modify configuration scripts to
4660	  + use gnatmake as default compiler name.  This is a safer choice than
4661	    gcc, because some GNAT implementations use other names for the
4662	    compilerdriver to avoid conflicts.
4663	  + use new default installation locations for the Ada files according
4664	    to the proposed GNU Ada filesystem standard (for Linux).
4665	+ simplify the Makefiles for the Ada binding
4666	+ rename ada_include directory to src.
4667
4668990213
4669	+ enable sigwinch handler by default.
4670	+ disable logic that allows setbuf to be turned off/on, because some
4671	  implementations will overrun the buffer after it has been disabled
4672	  once.
4673
4674990206
4675	+ suppress sc/rc capabilities from terminal description if they appear
4676	  in smcup/rmcup.  This affects only scrolling optimization, to fix a
4677	  problem reported by several people with xterm's alternate screen,
4678	  though the problem is more general.
4679	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
4680	+ removed all pragma Preelaborate() stuff, because the just released
4681	  gnat-3.11p complains on some constructs.
4682	+ fixed some upper/lower case notations because gnat-3.11p found
4683	  inconsistent use.
4684	+ used a new method to generate the HTML documentation of the Ada95
4685	  binding.  This invalidates nearly the whole ./Ada95/html subtree.
4686	  Nearly all current files in this subtree are removed
4687
4688990130
4689	+ cache last result from _nc_baudrate, for performance (suggested by
4690	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
4691	+ modify ClrUpdate() function to workaround a problem in nvi, which
4692	  uses redrawwin in SIGTSTP handling.  Jeffrey C Honig reported that
4693	  ncurses repainted the screen with nulls before resuming normal
4694	  operation (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
4695	+ generalize is_xterm() function a little by letting xterm/rxvt/kterm
4696	  be any substring rather than the prefix.
4697	+ modify lib_data.c to initialize SP.  Some linkers, e.g., IBM's, will
4698	  not link a module if the only symbols exported from the module are
4699	  uninitialized ones (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).  Ilya says that he
4700	  has seen messages claiming this behavior conforms to the standard.)
4701	+ move call on _nc_signal_handler past _nc_initscr, to avoid a small
4702	  window where Nttyb hasn't yet been filled (reported by Klaus Weide).
4703	+ modify lib_tstp.c to block SIGTTOU when handling SIGTSTP, fixes a
4704	  problem where ncurses applications which were run via a shell script
4705	  would hang when given a ^Z.  Also, check if the terminal's process
4706	  group is consistent, i.e., a shell has not taken ownership of it,
4707	  before deciding to save the current terminal settings in the SIGTSTP
4708	  handler (patch by Klaus Weide).
4709	+ correct spelling of ACS_ names in curs_border.3x (reported by Bob van
4710	  der Poel <bvdpoel@kootenay.com>).
4711	+ correct a couple of typos in the macros supporting the configure
4712	  --with-shlib-version option.
4713
4714990123
4715	+ modify fty_regex.c to compile on HAVE_REGEXPR_H_FUNCS machine (patch
4716	  by Kimio Ishii <ishii@csl.sony.co.jp>).
4717	+ rename BSDI console terminfo entries:  bsdos to bsdos-pc-nobold, and
4718	  bsdos-bold to bsdos-pc (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
4719	+ modify tput to accept termcap names as an alternative to terminfo
4720	  names (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
4721	+ correct a typo in term.7 (Todd C Miller).
4722	+ add configure --with-shlib-version option to allow installing shared
4723	  libraries named according to release or ABI versions.  This
4724	  parameterizes some existing logic in the configure script, and is
4725	  intended for compatiblity upgrades on Digital Unix, which used
4726	  versioned libraries in ncurses 4.2, but no longer does (cf:  980425).
4727	+ resync configure script against autoconf 2.13 + patches
4728	+ minor improvements for teraterm terminfo entry based on the program's
4729	  source distribution.
4730
4731990116
4732	+ change default for configure --enable-big-core to assume machines do
4733	  have enough memory to resolve terminfo.src in-memory.
4734	+ correct name of ncurses library in TEST_ARGS when configuring with
4735	  debug library.
4736	+ minor fixes to compile ncurses library with broken-linker with g++.
4737	+ add --enable-broken-linker configure option, default to environment
4738	  variable $BROKEN_LINKER (request by Jeffrey C Honig).
4739	+ change key_names[] array to static since it is not part of the curses
4740	  interface (reported by Jeffrey C Honig <jch@bsdi.com>).
4741
4742990110
4743	+ add Tera Term terminfo entry - TD
4744
4745990109
4746	+ reviewed/corrected macros in curses.h as per XSI document.
4747	+ provide support for termcap PC variable by copying it from terminfo
4748	  data and using it as the padding character in tputs (reported by
4749	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
4750	+ corrected iris-ansi and iris-ansi-ap terminfo entries for kent and
4751	  kf9-kf12 capabilities, as well as adding kcbt.
4752	+ document the mouse handling mechanism in menu_driver and make a small
4753	  change in menu_driver's return codes to provide more consistency
4754	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
4755	+ add fallback definition for NCURSES_CONST to termcap.h.in (reported
4756	  by Uchiyama Yasushi <uch@nop.or.jp>).
4757	+ move lib_restart.c to ncurses/base, since it uses curses functions
4758	  directly, and therefore cannot be used in libtinfo.so
4759	+ rename micro_char_size to micro_col_size, adding #define to retain
4760	  old name.
4761	+ add set_a_attributes and set_pglen_inch to terminfo structure, as per
4762	  XSI and Solaris 2.5.
4763	+ minor makefile files to build ncurses test_progs
4764	+ update html files in misc directory to reflect changes since 4.2
4765
4766990102
4767	+ disable scroll hints when hashmap is enabled (patch by Alexander
4768	  V Lukyanov).
4769	+ move logic for tic's verify of -e option versus -I and -C so that the
4770	  terminfo data is not processed if we cannot handle -e (reported by
4771	  Steven Schwartz <steves@unitrends.com>.
4772	+ add test-driver traces to terminfo and termcap functions.
4773	+ provide support for termcap ospeed variable by copying it from the
4774	  internal cur_term member, and using ospeed as the baudrate reference
4775	  for the delay_output and tputs functions.  If an application does not
4776	  set ospeed, the library behaves as before, except that _nc_timed_wait
4777	  is no longer used, or needed, since ospeed always has a value.  But
4778	  the application can modify ospeed to adjust the output of padding
4779	  characters (prompted by a bug report for screen 3.7.6 and email from
4780	  Michael Schroeder <Michael.Schroeder@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>).
4781	+ removed some unused ifdef's as part of Alexander's restructuring.
4782	+ reviewed/updated curses.h, term.h against X/Open Curses Issue 4
4783	  Version 2.  This includes making some parameters NCURSES_CONST
4784	  rather than const, e.g., in termcap.h.
4785	+ change linux terminfo entry to use ncv#2, since underline does not
4786	  work with color
4787
4788981226
4789	+ miscellaneous corrections for curses.h to match XSI.
4790	+ change --enable-no-padding configure option to be normally enabled.
4791	+ add section to ncurses manpage for environment variables.
4792	+ investigated Debian bug report that pertains to screen 3.7.4/3.7.6
4793	  changes, found no sign of problems on Linux (or on SunOS, Solaris)
4794	  running screen built with ncurses.
4795	+ check if tmp_fp is opened in tic.c before closing it (patch by Pavel
4796	  Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>).
4797	+ correct several font specification typos in man-pages.
4798
4799981220
4800	+ correct default value for BUILD_CC (reported by Larry Virden).
4801
4802981219
4803	+ modify _nc_set_writedir() to set a flag in _nc_tic_dir() to prevent
4804	  it from changing the terminfo directory after chdir'ing to it.
4805	  Otherwise, a relative path in $TERMINFO would confuse tic (prompted
4806	  by a Debian bug report).
4807	+ correct/update ncsa terminfo entry (report by Larry Virden).
4808	+ update xterm-xfree86 terminfo to current (patch 90), smcur/rmcur
4809	  changes
4810	+ add Mathew Vernon's mach console entries to terminfo.src
4811	+ more changes, moving functions, as part of Alexander's restructuring.
4812	+ modify configure script for GNU/Hurd share-library support, introduce
4813	  BUILD_CC variable for cross compiling (patch by Uchiyama Yasushi
4814	  <uch@nop.or.jp>)
4815
4816981212
4817	+ add environment variable NCURSES_NO_SETBUF to allow disabling the
4818	  setbuf feature, for testing purposes.
4819	+ correct ifdef's for termcap.h versus term.h that suppress redundant
4820	  declarations of prototypes (reported by H.J.Lu).
4821	+ modify Makefile.os2 to add linker flags which allow multiple copies
4822	  of an application to coexist (reported by Ilya Zakharevich).
4823	+ update Makefile.glibc and associated configure script so that ncurses
4824	  builds as a glibc add-on with the new directory configuration
4825	  (reported by H.J.Lu).
4826
4827981205
4828	+ modify gen_reps() function in gen.c to work properly on SunOS
4829	  (sparc), which is a left-to-right architecture.
4830	+ modify relative_move and tputs to avoid an interaction with the
4831	  BSD-style padding.  The relative_move function could produce a string
4832	  to replace on the screen which began with a numeric character, which
4833	  was then interpreted by tputs as padding.  Now relative_move will not
4834	  generate a string with a leading digit in that case (overwrite).
4835	  Also, tputs will only interpret padding if the string begins with a
4836	  digit; as coded it permitted a string to begin with a decimal point
4837	  or asterisk (reported by Larry Virden).
4838	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
4839	+ fix a typo in m_driver.c mouse handling and improves the error
4840	  handling.
4841	+ fix broken mouse handling in the Ada95 binding
4842	+ make the Ada95 sample application menus work with the new menu mouse
4843	  support
4844	+ improve the mouse handling introduced by Ilya; it now handles menus
4845	  with spacing.
4846	+ repair a minor bug in the menu_driver code discovered during this
4847	  rework.
4848	+ add new function wmouse_trafo() to hide implementation details of
4849	  _yoffset member of WINDOW struct needed for mouse coordinate
4850	  transformation.
4851
4852981128
4853	+ modify Ada95/gen/gen.c to avoid using return-value of sprintf, since
4854	  some older implementations (e.g., SunOS 4.x) return the buffer
4855	  address rather than its length.
4856	> patch by Rick Ohnemus:
4857	+ modify demo.cc to get it to compile with newer versions of egcs.
4858	+ trim a space that appears at the end of the table preprocessor lines
4859	  ('\" t).  This space prevents some versions of man from displaying
4860	  the pages - changed to remove all trailing whitespace (TD)
4861	+ finally, 'make clean' does not remove panel objects.
4862	> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
4863	+ allow remapping of OS/2 mouse buttons using environment variable
4864	  MOUSE_BUTTONS_123 with the default value 132.
4865	+ add mouse support to ncurses menus.
4866
4867981121
4868	+ modify misc/makedef.cmd to report old-style .def file symbols, and to
4869	  generate the .def files sorted by increasing names rather than the
4870	  reverse.
4871	+ add misc/*.ref which are J.J.G.Ripoll's dll definition files (renamed
4872	  from misc/*.old), and updated based on the entrypoint coding he used
4873	  for an older version of ncurses.
4874	+ add README.emx, to document how to build on OS/2 EMX.
4875	+ updates for config.guess, config.sub from Lynx
4876	> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
4877	+ minor fixes for mouse handling mode:
4878	  a) Do not initialize mouse if the request is to have no mouse;
4879	  b) Allow switching of OS/2 VIO mouse on and off.
4880	+ modify Makefile.os2 to support alternative means of generating
4881	  configure script, by translating Unix script with Perl.
4882	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
4883	+ Updates MANIFEST to reflect changes in source structure
4884	+ Eliminates a problem introduced with my last patch for the C++
4885	  binding in the panels code.  It removes the update() call done in the
4886	  panel destructor.
4887	+ Changes in the Ada95 binding to better support systems where
4888	  sizeof(chtype)!=sizeof(int) (e.g.  DEC Alpha).
4889
4890981114
4891	+ modify install-script for manpages to skip over .orig and .rej files
4892	  (request by Larry Virden).
4893	> patches/discussion by Alexander V Lukyanov:
4894	+ move base-library sources into ncurses/base and tty (serial terminal)
4895	  sources into ncurses/tty, as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's proposed
4896	  changes to ncurses library.
4897	+ copy _tracemouse() into ncurses.c so that lib_tracemse.c need not
4898	  be linked into the normal ncurses library.
4899	+ move macro winch to a function, to hide details of struct ldat
4900	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
4901	+ fix a potential compile problem in cursesw.cc
4902	+ some Ada95 cosmetics
4903	+ fix a gen.c problem when compiling on 64-Bit machines
4904	+ fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in "-L" linker switch
4905	+ modify Ada95 makefiles to use the INSTALL_PREFIX setting.
4906
4907981107
4908	+ ifdef'd out lib_freeall.c when not configured.
4909	+ rename _tracebits() to _nc_tracebits().
4910	+ move terminfo-library sources into ncurses/tinfo, and trace-support
4911	  functions into ncurses/trace as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's
4912	  proposed changes to ncurses library.
4913	+ modify generated term.h to always specify its own definitions for
4914	  HAVE_TERMIOS_H, etc., to guard against inclusion by programs with
4915	  broken configure scripts.
4916
4917981031
4918	+ modify terminfo parsing to accept octal and hexadecimal constants,
4919	  like Solaris.
4920	+ remove an autoconf 2.10 artifact from the configure script's check
4921	  for "-g" compiler options.  (Though harmless, this confused someone
4922	  at Debian, who recently issued a patch that results in the opposite
4923	  effect).
4924	+ add configure option --with-ada-compiler to accommodate installations
4925	  that do not use gcc as the driver for GNAT (patch by Juergen
4926	  Pfeifer).
4927
4928981017
4929	+ ensure ./man exists in configure script, needed when configuring
4930	  with --srcdir option.
4931	+ modify infocmp "-r" option to remove limit on formatted termcap
4932	  output, which makes it more like Solaris' version.
4933	+ modify captoinfo to treat no-argument case more like Solaris'
4934	  version, which uses the contents of $TERMCAP as the entry to format.
4935	+ modify mk-2nd.awk to handle subdirectories, e.g., ncurses/tty
4936	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
4937
4938981010
4939	+ modify --with-terminfo-dirs option so that the default value is the
4940	  ${datadir} value, unless $TERMINFO_DIRS is already set.  This gets
4941	  rid of a hardcoded list of candidate directories in the configure
4942	  script.
4943	+ add some error-checking to _nc_read_file_entry() to ensure that
4944	  strings are properly terminated (Todd C Miller).
4945	+ rename manpage file curs_scr_dmp.3x to curs_scr_dump.3x, to
4946	  correspond with contents (reported by Neil Zanella
4947	  <nzanella@cs.mun.ca>).
4948	+ remove redundant configure check for C++ which did not work when $CXX
4949	  was specified with a full pathname (reported by Andreas Jaeger).
4950	+ corrected bcopy/memmove check; the macro was not standalone.
4951
4952981003
4953	+ remove unnecessary portion of OS/2 EMX mouse change from
4954	  check_pending() (reported by Alexander V Lukyanov).
4955
4956980926
4957	+ implement mouse support for OS/2 EMX (adapted from patch against
4958	  4.2(?) by Ilya Zakharevich).
4959	+ add configure-check for bcopy/memmove, for 980919 changes to hashmap.
4960	+ merge Data General terminfo from Hasufin <hasufin@vidnet.net> - TD
4961	+ merge AIX 3.2.5 terminfo descriptions for IBM terminals, replaces
4962	  some older entries - TD
4963	+ modify tic to compile into %'char' form in preference to %{number},
4964	  since that is a little more efficient.
4965	+ minor correction to infocmp to avoid displaying "difference" between
4966	  two capabilities that are rendered in equivalent forms.
4967	+ add -g option to tic/infocmp to force character constants to be
4968	  displayed in quoted form.  Otherwise their decimal values are shown.
4969	+ modify setupterm so that cancelled strings are treated the same as
4970	  absent strings, cancelled and absent booleans false (does not affect
4971	  tic, infocmp).
4972	+ modify tic, infocmp to discard redundant i3, r3 strings when output
4973	  to termcap format.
4974	> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
4975	+ improve performance of tparm, now it takes 19% instead of 25% when
4976	  profiling worm.
4977	+ rename maxlen/minlen to prec/width for better readability.
4978	+ use format string for printing strings.
4979	+ use len argument correctly in save_text, and pass it to save_number.
4980
4981980919
4982	+ make test_progs compile (but hashmap does not function).
4983	+ correct NC_BUFFERED macro, used in lib_mvcur test-driver, modify
4984	  associated logic to avoid freeing the SP->_setbuf data.
4985	+ add modules home_terminfo and getenv_num to libtinfo.
4986	+ move write_entry to libtinfo, to work with termcap caching.
4987	+ minor fixes to blue.c to build with atac.
4988	+ remove softscroll.c module; no longer needed for testing.
4989	> patches by Todd C Miller:
4990	+ use strtol(3) instead of atoi(3) when parsing env variables so we can
4991	  detect a bogus (non-numeric) value.
4992	+ check for terminal names > MAX_NAME_SIZE in a few more places when
4993	  dealing with env variables again.
4994	+ fix a MAX_NAME_SIZE that should be MAX_NAME_SIZE+1
4995	+ use sizeof instead of strlen(3) on PRIVATE_INFO since it is a fixed
4996	  string #define (compile time vs runtime).
4997	+ when setting errno to ENOMEM, set it right before the return, not
4998	  before code that could, possibly, set errno to a different value.
4999	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
5000	+ use default background in update_cost_from_blank()
5001	+ disable scroll-hints when hashmap is configured.
5002	+ improve integration of hashmap scrolling code, by adding oldhash and
5003	  newhash data to SP struct.
5004	+ invoke del_curterm from delscreen.
5005	+ modify del_curterm to set cur_term to null if it matches the
5006	  function's parameter which is deleted.
5007	+ modify lib_doupdate to prefer parm_ich to the enter_insert_mode and
5008	  exit_insert_mode combination, adjusting InsCharCost to check
5009	  enter_insert_mode, exit_insert_mode and insert_padding.  Add
5010	  insert_padding in insert mode after each char.  This adds new costs
5011	  to the SP struct.
5012
5013980912
5014	+ modify test-driver in lib_mvcur.s to use _nc_setbuffer, for
5015	  consistent treatment.
5016	+ modify ncurses to restore output to unbuffered on endwin, and resume
5017	  buffering in refresh (see lib_set_term.c and NC_BUFFERED macro).
5018	+ corrected HTML version numbers (according to the W3C validator, they
5019	  never were HTML 2.0-compliant, but are acceptable 3.0).
5020
5021980905
5022	+ modify MKterminfo.sh to generate terminfo.5 with tables sorted by
5023	  capability name, as in SVr4.
5024	+ modified term.h, termcap.h headers to avoid redundant declarations.
5025	+ change 'u_int' type in tset.c to unsigned, making this compile on
5026	  Sequent PRX 4.1 (reported by Michael Sterrett <msterret@coat.com>).
5027
5028980829
5029	+ corrections to mailing addresses, and moving the magic line that
5030	  causes the man program to invoke tbl to the first line of each
5031	  manpage (patch by Rick Ohnemus <rick@ecompcon.com>).
5032	+ add Makefile.os2 and supporting scripts to generate dll's on OS/2 EMX
5033	  (from J.J.G.Ripoll, with further integration by TD).
5034	+ correct a typo in icl6404 terminfo entry.
5035	+ add xtermm and xtermc terminfo entries.
5036	> from esr's terminfo version:
5037	+ Added Francesco Potorti's tuned Wyse 99 entries.
5038	+ dtterm enacs (from Alexander V Lukyanov).
5039	+ Add ncsa-ns, ncsa-m-ns and ncsa-m entries from esr version.
5040
5041980822
5042	+ document AT&T acs characters in terminfo.5 manpage.
5043	+ use EMX _scrsize() function if terminfo and environment do not
5044	  declare the screen size (reported by Ilya Zakharevich
5045	  <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>).
5046	+ remove spurious '\' characters from eterm and osborne terminfo
5047	  entries (prompted by an old Debian bug report).
5048	+ correct reversed malloc/realloc calls in _nc_doalloc (reported by
5049	  Hans-Joachim Widmaier <hjwidmai@foxboro.com>).
5050	+ correct misplaced parenthesis which caused file-descriptor from
5051	  opening termcap to be lost, from 980725 changes (reported by Andreas
5052	  Jaeger).
5053
5054980815
5055	+ modify lib_setup.c to eliminate unneeded include of <sys/ioctl.h>
5056	  when termios is not used (patch by Todd C Miller).
5057	+ add function _nc_doalloc, to ensure that failed realloc calls do not
5058	  leak memory (reported by Todd C Miller).
5059	+ improved ncsa-telnet terminfo entry.
5060
5061980809
5062	+ correct missing braces around a trace statement in read_entry.c,
5063	  from 980808 (reported by Kim DeVaughn <kimdv@best.com> and Liviu
5064	  Daia).
5065
5066980808
5067	+ fix missing include <errno.h> in ditto.c (reported by Bernhard
5068	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@k5.sucks.eu.org>)
5069	+ add NCSA telnet terminfo entries from Francesco Potorti
5070	  <F.Potorti@cnuce.cnr.it>, from Debian bug reports.
5071	+ make handling of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables more compatible with
5072	  Solaris by allowing them to individually override the window size
5073	  as obtained via ioctl.
5074
5075980801
5076	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to allow for terminal types (e.g., xterm-color)
5077	  which may reset all attributes in the 'op' capability, so that colors
5078	  are set before turning on bold and other attributes, but still after
5079	  turning attributes off.
5080	+ add 'ditto.c' to test directory to illustrate use of newterm for
5081	  initializing multiple screens.
5082	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to recover from failed attempt to link alias
5083	  for a terminfo on a filesystem which does not preserve character case
5084	  (reported by Peter L Jordan <PJordan@chla.usc.edu>).
5085
5086980725
5087	+ updated versions of config.guess and config.sub based on automake 1.3
5088	+ change name-comparisons in lib_termcap to compare no more than 2
5089	  characters (gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8, verified
5090	  with Solaris curses).
5091	+ fix typo in curs_insstr.3x (patch by Todd C Miller)
5092	+ use 'access()' to check if ncurses library should be permitted to
5093	  open or modify files with fopen/open/link/unlink/remove calls, in
5094	  case the calling application is running in setuid mode (request by
5095	  Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>, responding to Duncan Simpson
5096	  <dps@io.stargate.co.uk>).
5097	+ arm100 terminfo entries from Dave Millen <dmill@globalnet.co.uk>).
5098	+ qnxt2 and minitel terminfo entries from esr's version.
5099
5100980718
5101	+ use -R option with ldconfig on FreeBSD because otherwise it resets
5102	  the search path to /usr/lib (reported by Dan Nelson).
5103	+ add -soname option when building shared libraries on OpenBSD 2.x
5104	  (request by QingLong).
5105	+ add configure options --with-manpage-format and
5106	  --with-manpage-renames (request by QingLong).
5107	+ correct conversion of CANCELLED_NUMERIC in write_object(), which was
5108	  omitting the high-order byte, producing a 254 in the compiled
5109	  terminfo.
5110	+ modify return-values of tgetflag, tgetnum, tgetstr, tigetflag,
5111	  tigetnum and tigetstr to be compatible with Solaris (gleaned from
5112	  Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8).
5113	+ modify _nc_syserr_abort to abort only when compiled for debugging,
5114	  otherwise simply exit with an error.
5115
5116980711
5117	+ modify Ada95 'gen' program to use appropriate library suffix (e.g.,
5118	  "_g" for a debug build).
5119	+ update Ada95 'make clean' rule to include generics .ali files
5120	+ add a configure test to ensure that if GNAT is found, that it can
5121	  compile/link working Ada95 program.
5122	+ flush output in beep and flash functions, fixing a problem with
5123	  getstr (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov)
5124	+ fix egcs 1.0.2 warning for etip.h (patch by Chris Johns).
5125	+ correct ifdef/brace nesting in lib_sprintf.c (patch by Bernhard
5126	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@Pool.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE>).
5127	+ correct typo in wattr_get macro from 980509 fixes (patch by Dan
5128	  Nelson).
5129
5130980704
5131	+ merge changes from current XFree86 xterm terminfo descriptions.
5132	+ add configure option '--without-ada'.
5133	+ add a smart-default for termcap 'ac' to terminfo 'acs_chars' which
5134	  corresponds to vt100.
5135	+ change translation for termcap 'rs' to terminfo 'rs2', which is
5136	  the documented equivalent, rather than 'rs1'.
5137
5138980627
5139	+ slow 'worm' down a little, for very fast machines.
5140	+ corrected firstchar/lastchar computation in lib_hline.c
5141	+ simplify some expressions with CHANGED_CELL, CHANGED_RANGE and
5142	  CHANGED_TO_EOL macros.
5143	+ modify init_pair so that if a color-pair is reinitialized, we will
5144	  repaint the areas of the screen whose color changes, like SVr4 curses
5145	  (reported by Christian Maurer <maurer@inf.fu-berlin.de>).
5146	+ modify getsyx/setsyx macros to comply with SVr4 man-page which
5147	  says that leaveok() affects their behavior (report by Darryl Miles,
5148	  patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
5149
5150980620
5151	+ review terminfo.5 against Solaris 2.6 curses version, corrected
5152	  several minor errors/omissions.
5153	+ implement tparm %l format.
5154	+ implement tparm printf-style width and precision for %s, %d, %x, %o
5155	  as per XSI.
5156	+ implement tparm dynamic variables (reported by Xiaodan Tang).
5157
5158980613
5159	+ update man-page for for wattr_set, wattr_get (cf:  980509)
5160	+ correct limits in hashtest, which would cause nonprinting characters
5161	  to be written to large screens.
5162	+ correct configure script, when --without-cxx was specified:  the
5163	  wrong variable was used for cf_cv_type_of_bool.  Compilers up to gcc
5164	  2.8 tolerated the missing 'int'.
5165	+ remove the hardcoded name "gcc" for the GNU Ada compiler.  The
5166	  compiler's name might be something like "egcs" (patch by Juergen
5167	  Pfeifer).
5168	+ correct curs_addch.3x, which implied that echochar could directly
5169	  display control characters (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
5170	+ fix typos in ncurses-intro.html (patch by Sidik Isani
5171	  <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
5172
5173980606
5174	+ add configure test for conflicting use of exception in math.h and
5175	  other headers.
5176	+ minor optimization to 'hash()' function in hashmap.c, reduces its
5177	  time by 10%.
5178	+ correct form of LD_SHARED_OPTS for HP-UX 10.x (patch by Tim Mooney).
5179	+ fix missing quotes for 'print' in MKunctrl.awk script (reported by
5180	  Mihai Budiu <mihaib@gs41.sp.cs.cmu.edu>).
5181	> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
5182	+ correct problem on Solaris (with poll() function) where getch could
5183	  hang indefinitely even if timeout(x) was called.  This turned out to
5184	  be because milliseconds was not updated before 'goto retry' in
5185	  _nc_timed_wait.
5186	+ simplified the function _nc_timed_wait and fixed another bug, which
5187	  was the assumption of !GOOD_SELECT && HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY in *timeleft
5188	  assignment.
5189	+ removed the cycle on EINTR, as it seems to be useless.
5190
5191980530
5192	+ add makefile-rule for test/keynames
5193	+ modify run_tic.sh and shlib to ensure that user's .profile does not
5194	  override the $PATH used to run tic (patch by Tim Mooney).
5195	+ restore LD_SHARED_OPTS to $(LD_SHARED_FLAGS) when linking programs,
5196	  needed for HP-UX shared-library path (recommended by Tim Mooney).
5197	+ remove special case of HP-UX -L options, use +b options to embed
5198	  $(libdir) in the shared libraries (recommended by Tim Mooney).
5199	+ add checks for some possible buffer overflows and unchecked
5200	  malloc/realloc/calloc/strdup return values (patch by Todd C Miller
5201	  <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com>)
5202
5203980523
5204	+ correct maxx/maxy expression for num_columns/num_lines in derwin
5205	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
5206	+ add /usr/share/lib/terminfo and /usr/lib/terminfo as compatibilty
5207	  fallbacks to _nc_read_entry(), along with --with-terminfo-dirs
5208	  configure option (suggested by Mike Hopkirk).
5209	+ modify config.guess to recognize Unixware 2.1 and 7 (patch by Mike
5210	  Hopkirk <hops@sco.com>).
5211	+ suppress definition of CC_SHARED_OPTS in LDFLAGS_SHARED in c++
5212	  Makefile.in, since this conflicts when g++ is used with HP-UX
5213	  compiler (reported by Tim Mooney).
5214	+ parenthesize 'strcpy' calls in c++ binding to workaround redefinition
5215	  in some C++ implementations (reported by several people running
5216	  egcs with glibc 2.0.93, analysis by Andreas Jaeger.
5217
5218980516
5219	+ modify write_entry.c so that it will not attempt to link aliases
5220	  with embedded '/', but give only a warning.
5221	+ put -L$(libdir) first when linking programs, except for HP-UX.
5222	+ modify comp_scan.c to handle SVr4 terminfo description for att477,
5223	  which contains a colon in the description field.
5224	+ modify configure script to support SCO osr5.0.5 shared libraries,
5225	  from comp.unix.sco.programmer newsgroup item (Mike Hopkirk).
5226	+ eliminate extra GoTo call in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
5227	  Lukyanov).
5228	+ minor adjustments of const/NCURSES_CONST from IRIX compile.
5229	+ add updates based on esr's 980509 version of terminfo.src.
5230
5231980509
5232	+ correct macros for wattr_set, wattr_get, separate wattrset macro from
5233	  these to preserve behavior that allows attributes to be combined with
5234	  color pair numbers.
5235	+ add configure option --enable-no-padding, to allow environment
5236	  variable $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to eliminate non-mandatory padding,
5237	  thereby making terminal emulators (e.g., for vt100) a little more
5238	  efficient (request by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
5239	+ modify configure script to embed ABI in shared libraries for HP-UX
5240	  10.x (detailed request by Tim Mooney).
5241	+ add test/example of the 'filter()' function.
5242	+ add nxterm and xterm-color terminfo description (request by Cristian
5243	  Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>).
5244	+ modify rxvt terminfo description to clear alternate screen before
5245	  switching back to normal screen, for compatibility with applications
5246	  which use xterm (reported by Manoj Kasichainula <manojk@io.com>).
5247	+ modify linux terminfo description to reset color palette (reported
5248	  by Telford Tendys <telford@eng.uts.edu.au>).
5249	+ correction to doupdate, for case where terminal does not support
5250	  insert/delete character.  The logic did not check that there was a
5251	  difference in alignment of changes to old/new screens before
5252	  repainting the whole non-blank portion of the line.  Modified to fall
5253	  through into logic that reduces by the portion which does not differ
5254	  (reported by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
5255	+ minor performance improvement to wnoutrefresh by moving some
5256	  comparisons out of inner loop.
5257
5258980425
5259	+ modify configure script to substitute NCURSES_CONST in curses.h
5260	+ updated terminfo entries for xterm-xf86-v40, xterm-16color,
5261	  xterm-8bit to correspond to XFree86 3.9Ag.
5262	+ remove restriction that forces ncurses to use setaf/setab if the
5263	  number of colors is greater than 8.  (see 970524 for xterm-16color).
5264	+ change order of -L options (so that $(libdir) is searched first) when
5265	  linking tic and other programs, to workaround HP's linker.
5266	  Otherwise, the -L../lib is embedded when linking against shared
5267	  libraries and the installed program does not run (reported by Ralf
5268	  Hildebrandt).
5269	+ modify configuration of shared libraries on Digital Unix so that
5270	  versioning is embedded in the library, rather than implied by
5271	  links (patch by Tim Mooney).
5272
5273980418
5274	+ modify etip.h to avoid conflict with math.h on HP-UX 9.03 with gcc
5275	  2.8.1 which redefines 'exception' (reported by Ralf Hildebrandt
5276	  <R.Hildebrandt@tu-bs.de>).
5277	+ correct configure tests in CF_SHARED_OPTS which used $CC value to
5278	  check for gcc, rather than autoconf's $GCC value.  This did not
5279	  work properly if the full pathname of the compiler were given
5280	  (reported by Michael Yount <yount@csf.Colorado.edu>).
5281	+ revise check for compiler options to force ANSI mode since repeating
5282	  an option such as -Aa causes HP's compiler to fail on its own headers
5283	  (reported by Clint Olsen <olsenc@ichips.intel.com>).
5284
5285980411
5286	+ ifdef'd has_key() and mcprint() as extended functions.
5287	+ modified several prototypes to correspond with 1997 version of
5288	  X/Open Curses (affects ABI since developers have used attr_get).
5289	+ remove spurious trailing blanks in glibc addon-scripts (patch by
5290	  H.J.Lu).
5291	+ insert a few braces at locations where gcc-2.8.x asks to use them to
5292	  avoid ambigous else's, use -fpic rather than -fPIC for Linux (patch
5293	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
5294
5295980404
5296	+ split SHLIB_LIST into SHLIB_DIRS/SHLIB_LIST to keep -L options
5297	  before -l to accommodate Solaris' linker (reported by Larry Virden).
5298
5299980328
5300	+ modify lib_color.c to eliminate dependency on orig_colors and
5301	  orig_pair, since SVr4 curses does not require these either, but
5302	  uses them when they are available.
5303	+ add detailed usage-message to infocmp.
5304	+ correct a typo in att6386 entry (a "%?" which was "?").
5305	+ add -f option to infocmp and tic, which formats the terminfo
5306	  if/then/else/endif so that they are readable (with newlines and
5307	  tabs).
5308	+ fixes for glibc addon scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
5309
5310980321
5311	+ revise configure macro CF_SPEED_TYPE so that termcap.h has speed_t
5312	  declared (from Adam J. Richter <adam@yggdrasil.com>)
5313	+ remove spurious curs_set() call from leaveok() (J T Conklin).
5314	+ corrected handling leaveok() in doupdate() (patch by Alexander V.
5315	  Lukyanov).
5316	+ improved version of wredrawln (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
5317	+ correct c++/Makefile.in so install target do not have embedded ../lib
5318	  to confuse it (patch by Thomas Graf <graf@essi.fr>).
5319	+ add warning to preinstall rule which checks if the installer would
5320	  overwrite a curses.h or termcap.h that is not derived from ncurses.
5321	  (The recommended configuration for developers who need both is to
5322	  use --disable-overwrite).
5323	+ modify preinstall rule in top-level Makefile to avoid implicit
5324	  use of 'sh', to accommodate Ultrix 4.4 (reported by Joao Palhoto
5325	  Matos <jmatos@math.ist.utl.pt>, patch by Thomas Esser
5326	  <te@informatik.uni-hannover.de>)
5327	+ refine ifdef's for TRACE so that libncurses has fewer dependencies
5328	  on libtinfo when TRACE is disabled.
5329	+ modify configure script so that if the --with-termlib option is used
5330	  to generate a separate terminfo library, we chain it to the ncurses
5331	  library with a "-l" option (reported by Darryl Miles and Ian T.
5332	  Zimmerman).
5333
5334980314
5335	+ correct limits and window in wredrawln function (reported/analysis by
5336	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
5337	+ correct sed expression in configure script for --with-fallback
5338	  option (patch by Jesse Thilo).
5339	+ correct some places in configure script where $enableval was used
5340	  rather than $withval (patch by Darryl Miles <dlm@g7led.demon.co.uk>).
5341	+ modify some man-pages so no '.' or '..' falls between TH and SH
5342	  macros, to accommodate man_db program (reported by Ian T. Zimmerman
5343	  <itz@rahul.net>).
5344	+ terminfo.src 10.2.1 downloaded from ESR's webpage (ESR).
5345	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
5346	+ add copyright notices (and rcs id's) on remaining man-pages.
5347	+ corrected prototypes for slk_* functions, using chtype rather than
5348	  attr_t.
5349	+ implemented the wcolor_set() and slk_color() functions
5350	+ the slk_attr_{set,off,on} functions need an additional void*
5351	  parameter according to XSI.
5352	+ fix the C++ and Ada95 binding as well as the man pages to
5353	  reflect above enhancements.
5354
5355980307
5356	+ use 'stat()' rather than 'access()' in toe.c to check for the
5357	  existence of $HOME/.terminfo, since it may be a file.
5358	+ suppress configure CF_CXX_LIBRARY check if we are not using g++
5359	  2.7.x, since this is not needed with g++ 2.8 or egcs (patch by
5360	  Juergen Pfeifer).
5361	+ turn on hashmap scrolling code by default, intend to remedy defects
5362	  by 4.3 release.
5363	+ minor corrections to terminfo.src changelog.
5364
5365980302	4.2 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
5366	+ correct Florian's email address in ncurses-intro.html
5367	+ terminfo.src 10.2.0 (ESR).
5368
5369980228	pre-release
5370	+ add linux-koi8r replace linux-koi8, which is not KOI8 (patch by
5371	  QingLong <qinglong@Bolizm.ihep.su>).
5372	+ minor documentation fixes (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
5373	+ add setlocale() call to ncurses.c (reported by Claes G. Lindblad
5374	  <claesg@algonet.se>).
5375	+ correct sign-extension in lib_insstr.c (reported by Sotiris
5376	  Vassilopoulos <svas@leon.nrcps.ariadne-t.gr>)
5377
5378980221	pre-release
5379	+ regenerated some documentation overlooked in 980214 patch
5380	  (ncurses-intro.doc, curs_outopts.3x.html)
5381	+ minor ifdef change to C++ binding to work with gcc 2.8.0 (patch by
5382	  Juergen Pfeifer).
5383	+ change maintainer's mailing address to florian@gnu.org, change
5384	  tentative mailing list address to bug-ncurses-request@gnu.org (patch
5385	  by Florian La Roche).
5386	+ add definition of $(REL_VERSION) to c++/Makefile.in (reported by Gran
5387	  Hasse <gh@raditex.se>).
5388	+ restore version numbers to Ada95 binding, accidentally deleted by
5389	  copyright patch (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
5390
5391980214	pre-release
5392	+ remove ncurses.lsm from MANIFEST so that it won't be used in FSF
5393	  distributions, though it is retained in development.
5394	+ correct scaling of milliseconds to nanoseconds in lib_napms.c (patch
5395	  by Jeremy Buhler).
5396	+ update mailing-list information (bug-ncurses@gnu.org).
5397	+ update announcement for upcoming 4.2 release.
5398	+ modify -lm test to check for 'sin()' rather than 'floor()'
5399	+ remove spurious commas from terminfo.src descriptions.
5400	+ change copyright notices to Free Software Foundation
5401
5402980207
5403	+ minor fixes for autoconf macros CF_ERRNO, CF_HELP_MESSAGE and
5404	  CF_SIZECHANGE
5405	+ modify Makefile.glibc so that $(objpfx) is defined (H.J.Lu).
5406	+ ifdef-out true-return from _nc_mouse_inline() which depends on
5407	  merge of QNX patch (pending 4.2 release).
5408	> patch to split off seldom-used modules in ncurses (J T Conklin):
5409	  This reduces size by up to 2.6kb.
5410	+ move functionality of _nc_usleep into napms, add configuration case
5411	  for nanosleep().
5412	+ moved wchgat() from lib_addch.c to lib_chgat.c
5413	+ moved clearok(), immedok(), leaveok(), and scrollok() from
5414	  lib_options.c to lib_clearok.c, lib_immedok.c, lib_leaveok.c and
5415	  lib_scrollok.c.
5416	+ moved napms() from lib_kernel.c to lib_napms.c
5417	+ moved echo() and noecho() from lib_raw.c to lib_echo.c
5418	+ moved nl() and nonl() from lib_raw.c to lib_nl.c
5419
5420980131
5421	+ corrected conversion in tclock.c (cf: 971018).
5422	+ updates to Makefile.glibc and associated Linux configure script
5423	  (patch by H.J.Lu).
5424	+ workaround a quoting problem on SunOS with tar-copy.sh
5425	+ correct init_pair() calls in worm.c to work when use_default_colors()
5426	  is not available.
5427	+ include <sys/types.h> in CF_SYS_TIME_SELECT to work with FreeBSD
5428	  2.1.5
5429	+ add ncv capability to FreeBSD console (cons25w), making reverse
5430	  work with color.
5431	+ correct sense of configure-test for sys/time.h inclusion with
5432	  sys/select.h
5433	+ fixes for Ada95/ada_include/Makefile.in to work with --srcdir option.
5434	+ remove unused/obsolete test-program rules from progs/Makefile.in
5435	  (the rules in ncurses/Makefile.in work).
5436	+ remove shared-library loader flags from test/Makefile.in, etc.
5437	+ simplify test/configure.in using new version of autoconf to create
5438	  test/ncurses_cfg.h
5439	+ suppress suffix rules in test/Makefile.in, provide explicit
5440	  dependency to work with --srcdir option and less capable 'make'
5441	  programs.
5442	> adapted from patch for QNX by Xiaodan Tang:
5443	+ initialize %P and %g variables set/used in tparm, and also ensure
5444	  that empty strings don't return a null result from tparam_internal
5445	+ add QNX-specific prototype for vsscanf()
5446	+ move initialization of SP->_keytry from init_keytry() to newterm() to
5447	  avoid resetting it via a keyok() call by mouse_activate().
5448	+ reorganized some functions in lib_mouse() to use case-statements.
5449	+ remove sgr string from qnx terminfo entry since it is reported to
5450	  turn off attributes inconsistently.
5451
5452980124
5453	+ add f/F/b/B commands to ncurses 'b' test to toggle colors, providing
5454	  test for no_color_video.
5455	+ adjusted emx.src to use no_color_video, now works with ncurses 'b'
5456	  and 'k' tests.
5457	+ implement no_color_video attribute, and as a special case, reverse
5458	  colors when the reverse attribute cannot be combined with color.
5459	+ check for empty string in $TERM variable (reported by Brett Michaels
5460	  <brett@xylan.com>).
5461	> from reports by Fred Fish:
5462	+ add configure-test for isascii
5463	+ add configure-test for -lm library.
5464	+ modify CF_BOOL_SIZE to check if C++ bool types are unsigned.
5465	> patches by J.J.G.Ripoll
5466	+ add configure/makefile variables to support .exe extension on
5467	  OS/2 EMX (requires additional autoconf patches).
5468	+ explicitly initialize variables in lib_data.c to appease OS/2 linker
5469	> patches by Fred Fish <fnf@ninemoons.com>
5470	+ misc/Makefile.in (install.data):  Avoid trying to install the CVS
5471	  directory.
5472	+ aclocal.m4 (install.includes):  Remove files in the include directory
5473	  where we are going to install new ones, not the original source
5474	  files.
5475	+ misc/terminfo.src:  Add entry for "beterm", derived from termcap
5476	  distributed with BeOS PR2 using captoinfo.
5477	+ aclocal.m4: Wrap $cf_cv_type_of_bool with quotes (contains space)
5478	+ aclocal.m4: Assume bool types are unsigned.
5479	+ progs/infocmp.c: workaround mwcc 32k function data limit
5480
5481980117
5482	+ correct initialization of color-pair (cf: 970524) in xmas.c, which
5483	  was using only one color-pair for all colors (reported by
5484	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
5485	+ add multithread options for objects build on EMX, for compatibility
5486	  with XFree86.
5487	+ split up an expression in MKlib_gen.sh to work around a problem on
5488	  OS/2 EMX, with 'ash' (patch by J.J.G.Ripoll).
5489	+ change terminfo entries xterm (xterm-xf86-v40), xterm-8bit rs1 to use
5490	  hard reset.
5491	+ rename terminfo entry xterm-xf86-v39t to xterm-xf86-v40
5492	+ remove bold/underline from sun console entries since they're not
5493	  implemented.
5494	+ correct _tracef calls in _tracedump(), which did not separate format
5495	  from parameters.
5496	+ correct getopt string for tic "-o" option, and add it to man-page
5497	  synopsis (reported by Darren Hiebert <darren@hmi.com>).
5498	+ correct typo in panel/Makefile.in, reversed if-statement in scrolling
5499	  optimization (Alexander V.  Lukyanov).
5500	+ test for 'remove()', use 'unlink() if not found (patch by Philippe De
5501	  Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>).
5502	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
5503	+ Improve a feature of the forms driver.  For invisible fields
5504	  (O_VISIBLE off) only the contents but not the attributes are cleared.
5505	  We now clear both.  (Reported by Javier Kohan
5506	  <jkohan@adan.fceia.unr.edu.ar>)
5507	+ The man page form_field_opts.3x makes now clear, that invisible
5508	  fields are also always inactive.
5509	+ adjust ifdef's to compile the C++ binding with the just released
5510	  gcc-2.8.0 c++ and the corresponding new C++ libraries.
5511
5512980110
5513	+ correct "?" command in ncurses.c; it was performing non-screen writes
5514	  while the program was in screen mode.  (It "worked" in 1.9.9e because
5515	  that version sets OPOST and OCRNL incorrectly).
5516	+ return error from functions in lib_kernel, lib_raw and lib_ti if
5517	  cur_term is null, or if underlying I/O fails.
5518	+ amend change to tputs() so that it does not return an error if
5519	  cur_term is null, since some applications depend on being able to use
5520	  tputs without initializing the terminal (reported by Christian J.
5521	  Robinson <infynity@cyberhighway.net>).
5522
5523980103
5524	+ add a copy of emx.src from J.J.G.Ripoll's OS/2 EMX version of ncurses
5525	  1.9.9e, together with fixes/additions for the "ansi" terminal type.
5526	+ add tic check for save/restore cursor if change_scroll_region is
5527	  defined (reference: O'Reilly book).
5528	+ modify read_termcap.c to handle EMX-style pathnames (reported by
5529	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
5530	+ modify lib_raw.c to use EMX's setmode (patch from J.J.G.Ripoll).
5531	  Ripoll says EMX's curses does this.
5532	+ modify _nc_tic_expand() to generate \0 rather than \200.
5533	+ move/revise 'expand()' from dump_entry.c to ncurses library as
5534	  _nc_tic_expand(), for use by tack.
5535	+ decode \a as \007 for terminfo, as per XSI.
5536	+ correct translation of terminfo "^@", to \200, like \0.
5537	+ modify next_char() to treat <cr><lf> the same as <newline>, for
5538	  cross-platform compatibility.
5539	+ use new version of autoconf (971230) to work around limited
5540	  environment on CLIX, due to the way autoconf builds --help message.
5541	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
5542	+ check that the Ada95 binding runs against the correct version of
5543	  ncurses.
5544	+ insert constants about the library version into the main spec-file of
5545	  the Ada95 binding.

5547971227
5548	+ modify open/fopen calls to use binary mode, needed for EMX.
5549	+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.10 mods for OS/2
5550	  EMX (from J.J.G.Ripoll).
5551	+ generated ncurses_cfg.h with patch (971222) to autoconf 2.12 which
5552	  bypasses limited sed buffer length.
5553	> several changes from Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll <worm@arrakis.es>
5554	  (J.J.G.Ripoll) to support OS/2 EMX:
5555	+ add a _scrolling flag to SP, to set when we encounter a terminal
5556	  that simply cannot scroll.
5557	+ corrected logic in _nc_add_to_try(), by ensuring that strings with
5558	  embedded \200 characters are matched.
5559	+ don't assume the host has 'link()' function, for linking terminfo
5560	  entries.
5561
5562971220
5563	+ if there's no ioctl's to support sigwinch handler, disable it.
5564	+ add configure option --disable-ext-funcs to remove the extended
5565	  functions from the build.
5566	+ add configure option --with-termlib to generate the terminfo
5567	  functions as a separate library.
5568	+ add 'sources' rule to facilitate cross-compiling.
5569	+ review/fix order of mostlyclean/clean/distclean rules.
5570	+ modify install-rule for headers to first remove old header, in
5571	  case there was a symbolic link that confuses the install script.
5572	+ corrected substitution for NCURSES_CONST in term.h (cf: 971108)
5573	+ add null pointer checks in wnoutrefresh(), overlap() (patch by
5574	  Xiaodan Tang <xtang@qnx.com>)
5575	+ correct tputs(), which could dereference a null cur_term if invoked
5576	  before terminal is initialized (patch by Christopher Seawood
5577	  <cls@seawood.org>)
5578	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
5579	+ makes better use of "pragma Inline" in the Ada95 binding
5580	+ resynchronizes the generated html manpages
5581
5582971213
5583	+ additional fixes for man-pages section-references
5584	+ add (for debugging) a check for ich/ich1 conflict with smir/rmir
5585	  to tic, etc.
5586	+ remove hpa/vpa from rxvt terminal description because they are not
5587	  implemented correctly, added sgr0.
5588	+ change ncurses 's' to use raw mode, so ^Q works (reported by Rudolf
5589	  Leitgeb <leitgeb@leland.stanford.edu>)
5590
5591971206
5592	+ modify protection when installing libraries to (normally) not
5593	  executable.  HP-UX shared libraries are an exception.
5594	+ add configure check for 'tack'.
5595	+ implement script for renaming section-references in man-page install,
5596	  for Debian configuration.
5597	+ add validity-check for SP in trace code in baudrate() (reported by
5598	  Daniel Weaver).
5599	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov (fixes to match sol25 curses)
5600	+ modify 'overlay()' so that copy applies target window background to
5601	  characters.
5602	+ correct 'mvwin()' so that it does not clear the previous locations.
5603	+ correct lib_acs.c so that 8-bit character is not sign expanded in
5604	  case of wide characters in chtype.
5605	+ correct control-char test in lib_addch.c for use with wide chars
5606	+ use attribute in the chtype when adding a control character in

5608
5609971129
5610	+ save/restore errno in _tracef() function
5611	+ change treatment of initialize_color to use a range of 0..1000
5612	  (recommended by Daniel Weaver).
5613	+ set umask in mkinstalldirs, fixing problems reported by users who
5614	  have set root's umask to 077.
5615	+ correct bug in tic that caused capabilities to be reprinted at the
5616	  end of output when they had embedded comments.
5617	+ rewrote wredrawln to correspond to XSI, and split-out since it is
5618	  not often used (from report by Alexander V. Lukyanov, 970825)
5619	+ rewrote Dan Nelson's change to make it portable, as well as to
5620	  correct logic for handling backslashes.
5621	+ add code to _nc_tgetent() to make it work more like a real tgetent().
5622	  It removes all empty fields, and removes all but the first in a group
5623	  of duplicate caps.  The code was pulled from the BSD libtermcap code
5624	  in termcap.c (patch by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>
5625	+ don't include --enable-widec in the --with-develop configure option,
5626	  since it is not binary-compatible with 4.1 (noted by Alexander V.
5627	  Lukyanov)
5628	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
5629	+ further improvements of the usage of elaboration pragmas in the Ada95
5630	  binding
5631	+ enhanced Ada95 sample to use the user_data mechanism for panels.

5634	+ resync of the html version of the manpages
5635
5636971122
5637	> fixes/updates for terminfo.src:
5638	+ add vt220-js, pilot, rbcomm, datapoint entries from esr's 27-jun-97
5639	  version.
5640	+ add hds200 description (Walter Skorski)
5641	+ add EMX 0.9b descriptions

5643	+ rename xhpterm back to hpterm.
5644	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
5645	+ Improves the usage of elaboration pragmas for the Ada95 binding.
5646	+ Adds a translation of the test/rain.c into Ada95 to the samples.
5647	  This has been contributed to the project by Laurent Pautet
5648	  (pautet@gnat.com)
5649
5650971115
5651	+ increase MAX_NAME_SIZE to 512 to handle extremely long alias list
5652	  in HP-UX terminfo.
5653	+ correction & simplification of delay computation in tputs, based on
5654	  comments from Daniel Weaver.
5655	+ replace test for SCO with more precise header tests.
5656	+ add configure test for unsigned literals, use in NCURSES_BITS macro.
5657	+ comment-out the -PIC, etc., flags from c++, progs and test makefiles
5658	  since they probably are not needed, and are less efficient (noted by
5659	  Juergen Fluk)
5660	+ add -L$(libdir) to loader options, after -L../lib so that loaders
5661	  that record this information will tend to do the right thing if
5662	  the programs are moved around after installing them (suggested by
5663	  Juergen Fluk).
5664	+ add -R option to loader options for programs for Solaris if the
5665	  --enable-rpath option is specified for the libraries.
5666
5667971112
5668	+ correct installed filename for shared libraries on *BSD (reported by
5669	  Juergen Fluk).
5670
5671971108
5672	+ cleanup logic for deciding when tputs() should call delay_output(),
5673	  based on comments from Daniel Weaver.
5674	+ modified tputs() to avoid use of float.
5675	+ correct use of trailpad in tputs(), which used the wrong variable
5676	  in call to delay_output().
5677	+ correct inverted expression for null-count in delay_output()
5678	  (analysis by Daniel Weaver).
5679	+ apply --enable-rpath option to Solaris (requested by Larry Virden).
5680	+ correct substitution of EXTRA_CFLAGS for gcc 2.6.3
5681	+ correct check for error-return by _nc_tgetent(), which returns 0
5682	  for success.
5683	+ add configure test for BSD 4.4 cgetent() function, modify
5684	  read_termcap.c to use the host's version of that if found, using the
5685	  terminal database on FreeBSD (reported by Peter Wemm).
5686	+ add u8, u9 strings to sun-il description for Daniel Weaver.
5687	+ use NCURSES_CONST in panel's user-pointer.
5688	+ modify edit_cfg.sh and MKterm.h.awk.in to substitute NCURSES_CONST
5689	  so that will work on NeXT.
5690	+ use _nc_set_screen() rather than assignments to SP to fix port to
5691	  NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
5692
5693971101
5694	+ force mandatory padding in bell and flash_screen, as specified in
5695	  XSI.
5696	+ don't allow padding_baud_rate to override mandatory delays (reported
5697	  by Daniel Weaver).
5698	+ modify delay_output() to use _nc_timed_wait() if no baudrate has been
5699	  defined, or if the cur_term pointer is not initialized.  XSI treats
5700	  this as unspecified.  (requested by Daniel Weaver).
5701	+ change getcap-cache ifdef's to eliminate unnecessary chdir/mkdir
5702	  when that feature is not configured.
5703	+ remove _nc_err_abort() calls when write_entry.c finds a directory but
5704	  cannot write to it, e.g., when translating part/all of /etc/termcap
5705	  (reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>).
5706	  (this dates back to 951102, in 1.9.7a).
5707	+ minor ifdef fixes to compile with atac and glibc 2.0.5c
5708	+ add check for -lgen when configuring regexpr.h
5709	+ modify Solaris shared-library option "-d y" to "-dy" to workaround
5710	  incompatibility of gcc 2.7.2 vs vendor's tools.
5711
5712971026
5713	+ correct ifdef's for struct winsize vs struct ttysize in lib_setup.c
5714	  to compile on SCO.
5715	+ remove dangling backslash in panel/Makefile.in
5716	+ modify MKkeyname.awk to work with SCO's nawk, which dumps core in the
5717	  length() function.
5718	+ correct length of allocation in _nc_add_to_try(), to allow for
5719	  trailing null.
5720	+ correct logic in _nc_remove_key(), which was discarding too many
5721	  nodes (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov)
5722
5723971025
5724	+ add definition for $(REL_VERSION) to test/Makefile.in, so *BSD
5725	  shared libraries link properly (see 970524).
5726	+ modify Linux shared-library generation to include library
5727	  dependencies (e.g., -lncurses and -lgpm) in the forms, menu and
5728	  panel libraries (suggested by Juergen Pfeifer).
5729	+ modify configure script to use config.guess and config.sub rather
5730	  than uname, which is unreliable on some systems.
5731	+ updated Makefile.glibc, test-built with glibc 2.0.5c
5732	+ modify keyname() to return values consistent with SVr4 curses (patch
5733	  by Juergen Fluk).
5734	> changes requested by Daniel Weaver:
5735	+ modify delay_output() so that it uses the same output function as
5736	  tputs() if called from that function.
5737	+ move _baudrate from SCREEN to TERMINAL so that low-level use of
5738	  tputs works when SP is not set.
5739	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
5740	+ factor lib_menu and lib_form into smaller modules
5741	+ clean up the interface between panel and SCREEN
5742	+ minor changes to the Ada95 mouse support implemenation
5743	+ minor bugfix in C++ binding to ripoff windows
5744	+ fix a few Ada95 html documentation pages
5745
5746971018
5747	+ split-out lib_ungetch.c, make runtime link to resizeterm() to
5748	  decouple those modules from lib_restart.c
5749	+ add xterm-xf86-v39t description to terminfo.src
5750	+ reset SP->_endwin in lib_tstp.c cleanup() function after calling
5751	  endwin() to avoid unnecessary repainting if the application has
5752	  established an atexit function, etc.  Encountered this problem in
5753	  the c++ demo, whose destructors repaint the screen.
5754	+ combine _nc_get_screensize() and resizeterm() calls as new function
5755	  _nc_update_screensize().
5756	+ minor fixes to allow compile with g++ (suggested by Nelson H. F.
5757	  Beebe).
5758	+ implement install-rules for Ada95 makefiles.
5759	+ use screen_lines or MAXLINES as needed where LINES was coded,
5760	  as well as screen_columns for COLS, in the ncurses library.
5761	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
5762	+ modify logic for ripped-off lines to handle several SCREENs.
5763	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
5764	+ factors lib_slk.c into some smaller modules
5765	+ factors panel.c into some smaller modules
5766	+ puts the static information about the current panel stack into the
5767	  SCREEN structure to allow different panel stacks on different
5768	  screens.
5769	+ preliminary fix for an error adjusting LINES to account for
5770	  ripped-off lines.
5771
5772971011
5773	+ move _nc_max_click_interval and other mouse interface items to SCREEN
5774	  struct so that they are associated with a single terminal, and also
5775	  save memory when the application does not need a mouse (roughly 3k vs
5776	  0.5k on Linux).
5777	+ modify mouseinterval() so that a negative parameter queries the
5778	  click-interval without modifying it.
5779	+ modify ncurses 'i' test to work with ncurses' apparent extension from
5780	  SVr4, i.e., allows nocbreak+noecho (analysis by Alexander V.
5781	  Lukyanov).
5782	+ add configure options --with-ada-includes and --with-ada-objects,
5783	  to drive Ada95 binding install (not yet implemented).
5784	+ install C++ binding as -lncurses++ and associated headers with the
5785	  other ncurses headers.
5786	+ fix header uninstall if configure --srcdir is used.
5787	> minor interface changes to support 'tack' program -TD
5788	  (request by Daniel Weaver <danw@znyx.com>).
5789	+ export functions _nc_trans_string() and _nc_msec_cost().
5790	+ add variable _nc_nulls_sent, to record the number of padding
5791	  characters output in delay_output().
5792	+ move tests for generic_type and hard_copy terminals in setupterm()
5793	  to the end of that function so that the library will still be
5794	  initialized, though not generally useful for curses programs.
5795	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
5796	+ modify ClrBottom() to avoid using clr_eos if there is only one line
5797	  to erase.
5798	+ typo in configure --help.
5799	> patch by J T Conklin (with minor resync against Juergen's changes)
5800	+ split-out lib_flash.c from lib_beep.c
5801	+ split-out lib_hline.c and lib_vline.c from lib_box.c
5802	+ split-out lib_wattron.c, lib_wattroff.c from lib_addch.c
5803
5804971005
5805	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
5806	+ correct source/target of c++/edit_cfg.sh
5807
5808971004
5809	+ add color, mouse support to kterm terminfo entry.
5810	+ modify lib_mouse.c to recognize rxvt, kterm, color_xterm also as
5811	  providing "xterm"-style mouse.
5812	+ updated rxvt's terminfo description to correspond to 2.21b, with
5813	  fixes for the acsc (the box1 capability is incorrect, ech1 does not
5814	  work).
5815	+ fix logic in parse_entry.c that discarded acsc when 'synthesizing'
5816	  an entry from equivalents in XENIX or AIX.  This lets ncurses handle
5817	  the distribution copy of rxvt's terminfo.
5818	+ modify acsc capability for linux and linux-koi8 terminfo descriptions
5819	  (from Pavel Roskin <pavel@absolute.spb.su>).
5820	+ corrected definition in curses.h for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I'
5821	  rather than 'i' (see 970802).
5822	+ updated terminfo.src with reformatted acsc entries, and repaired the
5823	  trashed entries with spurious '\' characters that this exposed.
5824	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to reformat acsc entries into canonical
5825	  form (sorted, unique mapping).
5826	+ add configure script to generate c++/etip.h
5827	+ add configure --with-develop option, to enable by default most of the
5828	  experimental options (requested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
5829	+ rename 'deinstall' to 'uninstall', following GNU convention
5830	  (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
5831	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
5832	+ modify tactics 2 and 5 in onscreen_mvcur(), to allow them on the last
5833	  line of the screen, since carriage return will not cause a newline.
5834	+ remove clause from PutCharLR() that would try to use
5835	  eat_newline_glitch since that apparently does not work on some
5836	  terminals (e.g., M$ telnet).
5837	+ correct a limit check in scroll_csr_backward()
5838	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
5839	+ adds dummy implementations of methods above() and below() to the
5840	  NCursesPanel class.
5841	+ fixes missing returncode in NCursesWindow::ripoffline()
5842	+ fixes missing returncode in TestApplication::run() in demo.cc
5843	+ We should at least give a comment in etip.h why it is currently a
5844	  problem to install the C++ binding somewhere
5845	+ makes the WINDOW* argument of wenclose() a const.
5846	+ modifies several of the routines in lib_adabind.c to use a const
5847	  WINDOW* argument.
5848
5849970927
5850	+ add 'deinstall' rules.
5851	+ use explicit assignments in configure --without-progs option to
5852	  work around autoconf bug which doesn't always set $withval.
5853	+ check for ldconfig, don't try to run it if not found.
5854	+ implement simple/unoptimized case in lib_doupdate.c to handle
5855	  display with magic cookie glitch, tested with ncurses.c program.
5856	+ correct missing _tracef in getmouse(), to balance the returnCode
5857	  macro.
5858	+ simplify show_attr() in ncurses.c using termattrs().
5859	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
5860	+ provides missing inlines for mvw[hv]line in cursesw.h of the C++
5861	  binding
5862	+ fixes a typo in a comment of frm_driver.c
5863	+ Enhances Ada95 Makefiles to fulfill the requirement of GNAT-3.10 that
5864	  generics should be compiled.  Proper fixes to the configuration
5865	  scripts are also provided.
5866
5867970920
5868	+ several modifications to the configure script (requested by Ward
5869	  Horner):
5870	  + add configure options --without-progs, to suppress the build of the
5871	    utility programs, e.g., for cross-compiling.
5872	  + add $(HOSTCCFLAGS) and $(HOSTLDFLAGS) symbols to ncurses
5873	    Makefile.in, to simplify setup for cross compiling.
5874	  + add logic in configure script to recognize "--target=vxworks", and
5875	    generate load/install actions for VxWorks objects.
5876	+ move typedef for sigaction_t into SigAction.h to work around problem
5877	  generating lint library.
5878	+ modify fty_regex.c to reflect renaming of ifdef's for regular
5879	  expressions.
5880	+ simplify ifdef in lib_setup.c for TIOCGWINSZ since that symbol may
5881	  reside in <sys/ioctl.h>.
5882	+ merge testcurs.c with version from PDCurses 2.3, clarifying some of
5883	  the more obscure tests, which rely upon color.
5884	+ use macros getbegyx() and getmaxyx() in newdemo.c and testcurs.c
5885	+ modify ncurses.c to use getbegyx() and getmaxyx() macros to cover up
5886	  implementation difference wrt SVr4 curses, allow 's' test to work.
5887	+ add missing endwin() to testscanw.c program (reported by Fausto
5888	  Saporito <fausap@itb.it>).
5889	+ fixes/updates for Makefile.glibc and related files under sysdeps
5890	  (patch by H.J.Lu).

5892	+ add checks for null pointers, especially WINDOW's throughout the
5893	  ncurses library.
5894	+ solve a problem with wrong calculation of panel overlapping (reported
5895	  by Ward Horner):
5896	  + make sure that a panel's window isn't a pad.
5897	  + do more error checking in module lib_touch.c
5898	+ missing files for Ada95 binding from the last patch
5899	+ synch. of generated html pages (RCS-Id's were wrong in html files)
5900	+ support for Key_Resize in Ada binding
5901	+ changed documentation style in ./c++/cursesm.h
5902	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
5903	+ undo attempt to do recursive inlining for PutChar(), noting that it
5904	  did not improve timing measurably, but inflated the size of
5905	  lib_doupdate.o
5906
5907970913
5908	+ modify rain.c to use color.
5909	+ correct scroll_csr_backward() to match scroll_csr_forward().
5910	+ minor adjustment to llib-lncurses, to work with Solaris 2.5.1
5911	+ minor fixes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure to reflect renaming
5912	  of configure cache variables in 970906.
5913	+ correct logic involving changes to O_VISIBLE option in
5914	  Synchronize_Options function in frm_driver.c (Tony Hoffmann
5915	  <Tony.Hoffmann@hia.nrc.ca>)
5916	+ add $(HOSTCC) symbol to ncurses Makefile.in, to simplify setup for
5917	  cross compiling (suggested by Chris Johns).
5918	+ modify ifdef in lib_setup.c to only include <sys/ioctl.h> if we can
5919	  use it to support screen-size calculation (reported by Chris Johns).
5920	+ #undef unctrl to avoid symbol conflict in port to RTEMS (reported by
5921	  Chris Johns <cjohns@plessey.com.au>)
5922	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
5923	+ simplified, made minor corrections to Ada95 binding to form
5924	  fieldtype.
5925	+ The C++ binding has been enhanced:
5926	  + Improve NCursesWindow class:  added additional methods to cover
5927	    more ncurses functionality.  Make refresh() and noutrefresh()
5928	    virtual members to allow different implementation in the
5929	    NCursesPanel class.
5930	  + CAUTION:  changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of
5931	    NCursesWindow class.
5932	  + Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a
5933	    reimplementation of refresh() in the base class.  Added
5934	    noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel.
5935	  + Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform
5936	    functionality.
5937	  + Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to etip.h
5938	  + Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration of
5939	    menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of title lines
5940	    and Soft-Label-Keys for an application.
5941	  + Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menu's fieldlist.
5942	  + Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for menus.
5943	  + Enhanced demo.
5944	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_def.c:  take into account that copyarg and
5945	  freearg for a fieldtype may be NULL, makearg must not be NULL
5946	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_type.c:  in set_fieldtype_arg() makearg must
5947	  not be NULL, copyarg and freearg may be NULL.
5948	+ Fixed a bug in form/frm_def.c:  Allow Disconnect_Fields() if it is
5949	  already disconnected.
5950	+ Enhance form/frm_driver.c:  Allow growth of dynamic fields also on
5951	  navigation requests.
5952	+ Fixed a bug in form/fty_enum.c:  wrong position of postincrement in
5953	  case-insensitiva comparision routine.
5954	+ Enhanced form/lib_adabind.c with function _nc_get_field() to get a
5955	  forms field by index.
5956	+ Enhanced menu/m_adabind.c with function _nc_get_item() to get a menus
5957	  item by index.
5958	+ Fixed in curses.h.in:  make chtype argument for pechochar() constant.
5959	  Mark wbkgdset() as implemented, remove wbkgdset macro, because it was
5960	  broken (didn't handle colors correctly).
5961	+ Enhanced lib_mouse.c: added _nc_has_mouse() function
5962	+ Added _nc_has_mouse() prototype to curses.priv.h
5963	+ Modified lib_bkgd.c:  hopefully correct implementation of wbkgdset();
5964	  streamlined implementation of wbkgd()
5965	+ Modified lib_mvwin.c:  Disable move of a pad.  Implement (costly)
5966	  move of subwindows.  Fixed update behavior of movements of regular
5967	  windows.
5968	+ Fixed lib_pad.c:  make chtype argument of pechochar() const.
5969	+ Fixed lib_window.c:  dupwin() is not(!) in every bit a really clone
5970	  of the original.  Subwindows become regular windows by doing a
5971	  dupwin().
5972	+ Improved manpage form_fieldtype.3x
5973	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
5974	+ simplify the PutChar() handling of exit_am_mode, because we already
5975	  know that auto_right_margin is true.
5976	+ add a check in PutChar() for ability to insert to the case of
5977	  shifting character to LR corner.
5978	+ in terminal initialization by _nc_screen_resume(), make sure that
5979	  terminal right margin mode is known.
5980	+ move logic that invokes touchline(), or does the equivalent, into
5981	  _nc_scroll_window().
5982	+ modify scrolling logic use of insert/delete line capability, assuming
5983	  that they affect the screen contents only within the current
5984	  scrolling region.
5985	+ modify rain.c to demonstrate SIGWINCH handler.
5986	+ remove logic from getch() that would return an ERR if the application
5987	  called getch() when the cursor was at the lower-right corner of the
5988	  physical screen, and the terminal does not have insert-character
5989	  ability.
5990	+ change view.c so that it breaks out of getch() loop if a KEY_RESIZE
5991	  is read, and modify logic in getch() so this fix will yield the
5992	  desired behavior, i.e., the screen is repainted automatically when
5993	  the terminal window is resized.
5994
5995970906
5996	+ add configure option --enable-sigwinch
5997	+ modify view.c to test KEY_RESIZE logic, with "-r" option.
5998	+ modify testcurs.c to eliminate misleading display wrt cursor type
5999	  by testing if the terminal supports cnorm, civis, cvvis.
6000	+ several fixes for m68k/NeXT 4.0, to bring cur_term, _nc_curr_line and
6001	  _nc_curr_col variables into linked programs:  move these variables,
6002	  making new modules lib_cur_term and trace_buf (reported by Francisco
6003	  Alberto Tomei Torres <fatomei@sandburg.unm.edu>).
6004	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
6005	+ add pseudo-functionkey KEY_RESIZE which is returned by getch() when
6006	  the SIGWINCH handler has been called since the last call to
6007	  doupdate().
6008	+ modify lib_twait.c to hide EINTR only if HIDE_EINTR is defined.
6009	+ add SIGWINCH handler to ncurses library which is used if there is no
6010	  application SIGWINCH handler in effect when the screen is
6011	  initialized.
6012	+ make linked list of all SCREEN structures.
6013	+ move curses.h include before definition of SCREEN to use types in
6014	  that structure.
6015	+ correction to ensure that wgetstr uses only a newline to force a
6016	  scroll (970831).
6017
6018970831
6019	+ add experimental configure option --enable-safe-sprintf; the normal
6020	  mode now allocates a buffer as large as the screen for the
6021	  lib_printw.c functions.
6022	+ modify wgetch to refresh screen when reading ungetch'd characters,
6023	  since the application may require this - SVr4 does this.
6024	+ refine treatment of newline in wgetstr to echo only when this would
6025	  force the screen to scroll.
6026
6027970830
6028	+ remove override in wgetstr() that forces keypad(), since SVr4 does
6029	  not do this.
6030	+ correct y-reference for erasure in wgetstr() when a wrap forces a
6031	  scroll.
6032	+ correct x-position in waddch() after a wrap forces a scroll.
6033	+ echo newline in wgetstr(), making testscanw.c scroll properly when
6034	  scanw is done.
6035	+ modify vwscanw() to avoid potential buffer overflow.
6036	+ rewrote lib_printw.c to eliminate fixed-buffer limits.
6037	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
6038	+ correct an error in handling cooked mode in wgetch(); processing
6039	  was in the wrong order.
6040	+ simplified logic in wgetch() that handles backspace, etc., by using
6041	  wechochar().
6042	+ correct wechochar() so that it interprets the output character as
6043	  in waddch().
6044	+ modify pechochar() to use prefresh() rather than doupdate(), since
6045	  the latter does not guarantee immediate refresh of the pad.
6046	+ modify pechochar() so that if called with a non-pad WINDOW, will
6047	  invoke wechochar() instead.
6048	+ modify fifo indices to allow fifo to be longer than 127 bytes.
6049
6050970823
6051	+ add xterm-8bit to terminfo.src
6052	+ moved logic for SP->_fifohold inside check_pending() to make it
6053	  work properly when we add calls to that function.
6054	+ ensure that bool functions return only TRUE or FALSE, and TRUE/FALSE
6055	  are assigned to bool values (patch by H.J.Lu).
6056	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
6057	+ several fixes to getch:
6058	  1.  Separate cooked and raw keys in fifo
6059	  2.  Fix the case of ungetch'ed KEY_MOUSE
6060	  3.  wrap the code for hiding EINTR with ifdef HIDE_EINTR
6061	  4.  correctly handle input errors (i.e., EINTR) without loss of raw
6062	      keys
6063	  5.  recognize ESC KEY_LEFT and similar
6064	  6.  correctly handle the case of receiption of KEY_MOUSE from gpm
6065	+ correct off-by-one indexing error in _nc_mouse_parse(), that caused
6066	  single mouse events (press/release) to be ignored in favor of
6067	  composed events (click).  Improves on a fix from integrating gpm
6068	  support in 961229.
6069	+ add another call to check_pending, before scrolling, for
6070	  line-breakout optimization
6071	+ improve hashmap.c by
6072	  1.  fixed loop condition in grow_hunks()
6073	  2.  not marking lines with offset 0
6074	  3.  fixed condition of 'too far' criteria, thus one-line hunks are
6075	  ignored and two lines interchanged won't pass.
6076	+ rewrote/simplified _nc_scroll_optimize() by separating into two
6077	  passes, forward/backward, looking for chunks moving only in the given
6078	  direction.
6079	+ move logic that emits sgr0 when initializing the screen to
6080	  _nc_screen_init(), now invoked from newterm.
6081	+ move cursor-movement cleanup from endwin() into _nc_mvcur_wrap()
6082	  function and screen cleanup (i.e., color) into _nc_screen_wrap()
6083	  function.
6084	+ add new functions _nc_screen_init(), _nc_screen_resume() and
6085	  _nc_screen_wrap().
6086	+ rename _nc_mvcur_scrolln() to _nc_scrolln().
6087	+ add a copy of acs_map[] to the SCREEN structure, where it can be
6088	  stored/retrieved via set_term().
6089	+ move variables _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok, _nc_windows into the SCREEN
6090	  structure.
6091
6092970816
6093	+ implement experimental _nc_perform_scroll().
6094	+ modify newterm (actually _nc_setupscreen()) to emit an sgr0 when
6095	  initializing the screen, as does SVr4 (reported by Alexander V.
6096	  Lukyanov).
6097	+ added test_progs rule to ncurses/Makefile.
6098	+ modify test/configure.in to check if initscr is already in $LIBS
6099	  before looking for (n)curses library.
6100	+ correct version-number in configure script for OSF1 shared-library
6101	  options (patch by Tim Mooney).
6102	+ add -DNDEBUG to CPPFLAGS for --enable-assertions (as Juergen
6103	  originally patched) since the c++ demo files do not necessarily
6104	  include ncurses_cfg.h
6105	+ supply default value for --enable-assertions option in configure
6106	  script (reported by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu>).
6107	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
6108	+ correct/simplify logic of werase(), wclrtoeol() and wclrbot().  See
6109	  example firstlast.c
6110	+ optimize waddch_literal() and waddch_nosync() by factoring out
6111	  common subexpressions.
6112	+ correct sense of NDEBUG ifdef for CHECK_POSITION macro.
6113	+ corrections to render_char(), to make handling of colored blanks
6114	  match SVr4 curses, as well as to correct a bug that xor'd space
6115	  against the background character.
6116	+ replaced hash function with a faster one (timed it)
6117	+ rewrote the hashmap algorithm to be one-pass, this avoids multiple
6118	  cost_effective() calls on the same lines.
6119	+ modified cost_effective() so it is now slightly more precise.
6120	> patches for glibc integration (H.J.Lu):
6121	+ add modules define_key, keyok, name_match, tries
6122	+ add makefile rules for some of the unit tests in ncurses (mvcur,
6123	  captoinfo, hardscroll, hashmap).
6124	+ update Linux configure-script for wide-character definitions.
6125
6126970809
6127	+ modify _tracebits() to show the character size (e.g., CS8).
6128	+ modify tparm() to emit '\200' where the generated string would have a
6129	  null (reported by From:  Ian Dall <Ian.Dall@dsto.defence.gov.au> for
6130	  terminal type ncr7900).
6131	+ modify install process so that ldconfig is not invoked if the
6132	  package is built with an install-prefix.
6133	+ correct test program for chtype size (reported by Tim Mooney).
6134	+ add configure option --disable-scroll-hints, using this to ifdef the
6135	  logic that computes indices for _nc_scroll_optimize().
6136	+ add module ncurses/softscroll.c, to perform single-stage computation
6137	  of scroll indices used in _nc_scroll_optimize().  This is faster than
6138	  the existing scrolling algorithm, but tends to make too-small hunks.
6139	+ eliminate fixed buffer size in _nc_linedump().
6140	+ minor fixes to lib_doupdate.c to add tradeoff between clr_eol (el)
6141	  and clr_bol (el1), refine logic in ClrUpdate() and ClrBottom() (patch
6142	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6143	+ add test/testaddch.c, from a pending patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov.
6144	+ correct processing of "configure --enable-assertions" option (patch
6145	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
6146
6147970802
6148	+ add '-s' (single-step) option too test/hashtest.c, correct an error
6149	  in loop limit for '-f' (footer option), toggle scrollok() when
6150	  writing footer to avoid wrap at lower-right corner.
6151	+ correct behavior of clrtoeol() immediately after wrapping cursor,
6152	  which was not clearing the line at the cursor position (reported by
6153	  Liviu Daia <daia@stoilow.imar.ro>).
6154	+ corrected mapping for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I' rather than 'i'
6155	  (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@tezcat.com>).
6156	+ many corrections to make progs/capconvert work, as well as make it
6157	  reasonably portable and integrated with ncurses 4.1 (reported by Dave
6158	  Furstenau <df@ravine.binary.net>).
6159
6160970726
6161	+ add flag SP->_fifohold, corresponding logic to modify the behavior of
6162	  the line breakout logic so that if the application does not read
6163	  input, refreshes will not be stopped, but only slowed.
6164	+ generate slk_attr_off(), slk_attr_on(), slk_attr_set(), vid_attr(),
6165	  ifdef'd for wide-character support, since ncurses' WA_xxx attribute
6166	  masks are identical with the A_xxx masks.
6167	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to generate ifdef'd functions to support optional
6168	  configuration of wide-characters.
6169	+ modify tset to behave more like SVr4's tset, which does not modify
6170	  the settings of intr, quit or erase unless they are given as command
6171	  options (reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>).
6172	+ modify tset to look in /etc/ttys or /etc/ttytype if the configuration
6173	  does not have getttynam().
6174	+ extend baudrate table in tset.c to match baudrate() function.
6175	+ add table entries for 230400 and 460800 bd to baudrate() function.
6176	+ improve breakout logic by allowing it before the first line updated,
6177	  which is what SVr4 curses does (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6178	+ correct initialization of vcost in relative_move(), for cursor-down
6179	  case (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6180	> nits gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-3:
6181	+ install symbolic link for intotocap.
6182	+ reference libc directly when making shared libraries.
6183	+ correct renaming of curs_scr_dmp.3x in man_db.renames.
6184	+ guard tgetflag() and other termcap functions against null cur_term
6185	  pointer.
6186
6187970719
6188	+ corrected initial state of software echo (error in 970405, reported
6189	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6190	+ reviewed/added messages to configure script, so that all non-test
6191	  options should be accompanied by a message.
6192	+ add configure check for long filenames, using this to determine if
6193	  it is safe to allow long aliases for terminal descriptions as does
6194	  SVr4.
6195	+ add configure options for widec (wide character), hashmap (both
6196	  experimental).
6197	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
6198	+ hashmap.c - improved by heuristic, so that scroll test works much
6199	  better when csr is not available.
6200	+ hardscroll.c - patched so that it continues to scroll other chunks
6201	  after failure to scroll one.
6202	+ lib_doupdate.c - _nc_mvcur_scrolln extended to handle more cases; csr
6203	  is avoided as it is relative costly.  Fixed wrong coordinates in one
6204	  case and wrong string in TRACE.
6205	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6206	+ modify C++ binding to compile on AIX 4.x with the IBM C-SET++
6207	  compiler.
6208
6209970712
6210	+ remove alternate character set from kterm terminfo entry; it uses the
6211	  shift-out control for a purpose incompatible with curses, i.e., font
6212	  switching.
6213	+ disentangle 'xterm' terminfo entry from some derived entries that
6214	  should be based on xterm-r6 instead.
6215	+ add cbt to xterm-xf86-xv32 terminfo entry; I added the emulation for
6216	  XFree86 3.1.2F, but overlooked its use in terminfo then - T.Dickey.
6217	+ correct logic in lib_mvcur.c that uses back_tab.
6218
6219970706
6220	+ correct change from 970628 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
6221	  contents of curscr are saved in newscr before clearing the screen.
6222	  This is needed to make repainting work with the present logic of
6223	  TransformLine().
6224	+ use napms() rather than sleep() in tset.c to avoid interrupting I/O.
6225
6226970705
6227	+ add limit checks to _nc_read_file_entry() to guard against overflow
6228	  of buffer when reading incompatible terminfo format, e.g, from OSF/1.
6229	+ correct some loop-variable errors in xmc support in lib_doupdate.c
6230	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to add gaps, specified by user, to allow
6231	  investigation of interaction with xmc (magic cookie) code.
6232	+ correct typo in 970524 mods to xmas.c, had omitted empty parameter
6233	  list from has_colors(), which gcc ignores, but SVr4 does not
6234	  (reported by Larry Virden).
6235	+ correct rmso capability in wy50-mc description.
6236	+ add configure option "--enable-hard-tabs", renamed TABS_OK ifdef to
6237	  USE_HARD_TABS.
6238	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6239	+ Add bindings for keyok() and define_key() to the Ada95 packages.
6240	+ Improve man pages menu_post.3x and menu_format.3x
6241	+ Fix the HTML pages in the Ada95/html directory to reflect the above
6242	  changes.
6243
6244970628
6245	+ modify change from 970101 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
6246	  pending changes to both curscr and newscr are flushed properly.
6247	  This fixes a case where the first scrolling operation in nvi would
6248	  cause the screen to be cleared unnecessarily and repainted before
6249	  doing the indexing, i.e., by repeatedly pressing 'j' (reported by
6250	  Juergen Pfeifer).
6251	+ correct error in trans_string() which added embedded newlines in a
6252	  terminfo description to the stored strings.
6253	+ remove spurious newlines from sgr in wyse50 (and several other)
6254	  terminfo descriptions.
6255	+ add configure option for experimental xmc (magic cookie) code,
6256	  "--enable-xmc-glitch".  When disabled (the default), attributes that
6257	  would store a magic cookie are suppressed in vidputs().  The magic
6258	  cookie code is far from workable at this stage; the configuration
6259	  option is a stopgap.
6260	+ move _nc_initscr() from lib_initscr.c to lib_newterm.c
6261	+ correct path for invoking make_keys (a missing "./").
6262
6263970621
6264	+ correct sign-extension problem with "infocmp -e", which corrupted
6265	  acsc values computed for linux fallback data.
6266	+ correct dependency on ncurses/names.c (a missing "./").
6267	+ modify configure script to use '&&' even for cd'ing to existing
6268	  directories to work around broken shell interpreters.
6269	+ correct a loop-limit in _nc_hash_map() (patch by Alexander V.
6270	  Lukyanov).
6271
6272970615
6273	+ restore logic in _nc_scroll_optimize() which marks as touched the
6274	  lines in curscr that are shifted.
6275	+ add new utility 'make_keys' to compute keys.tries as a table rather
6276	  than a series of function calls.
6277	+ correct include-dependency for tic.h used by name_match
6278	+ removed buffer-allocation for name and description from m_item_new.c,
6279	  since this might result in incompatibilities with SVr4.  Also fixed
6280	  the corresponding Ada95 binding module (patch by Juergen Pfeifer,
6281	  report by Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@foxnet.net>)
6282	+ removed the mechanism to timestamp the generated Ada95 sources.  This
6283	  resulted always in generating patches for the HTML doc, even when
6284	  nothing really changed (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6285	+ improve man page mitem_new.3x (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6286
6287970614
6288	+ remove ech capability from rxvt description because it does not work.
6289	+ add missing case logic for infocmp -I option (reported by Lorenzo M.
6290	  Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>)
6291	+ correct old bug in pnoutrefresh() unmasked by fix in 970531; this
6292	  caused glitches in the ncurses 'p' test since the area outside the
6293	  pad was not compared when setting up indices for _nc_scroll_optimize.
6294	+ rewrote tracebits() to workaround misdefinition of TOSTOP on Ultrix
6295	  4.4, as well as to eliminate fixed-size buffer (reported by Chris
6296	  Tanner <tannerc@aecl.ca>)
6297	+ correct prototype for termattrs() as per XPG4 version 2.
6298	+ add placeholder prototypes for color_set(), erasewchar(),
6299	  term_attrs(), wcolor_set() as per XPG4 version 2.
6300	+ correct attribution for progs/progs.priv.h and lib_twait.c
6301	+ improve line-breakout logic by checking based on changed lines rather
6302	  than total lines (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6303	+ correct loop limits for table-lookup of enumerated value in form
6304	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6305	+ improve threshhold computation for determining when to call ClrToEOL
6306	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6307
6308970531
6309	+ add configure option --disable-database to force the library to
6310	  use only the fallback data.
6311	+ add configure option --with-fallbacks, to specify list of fallback
6312	  terminal descriptions.
6313	+ add a symbolic link for ncurses.h during install; too many programs
6314	  still assume there's an ncurses.h
6315	+ add new terminfo.src entry for xterm-xf86-v33.
6316	+ restore terminfo.src entry for emu to using setf/setb, since it is
6317	  not, after all, generating ANSI sequences.  Corrected missing comma
6318	  that caused setf/setb entries to merge.
6319	+ modify mousemask() to use keyok() to enable/disable KEY_MOUSE, so
6320	  that applications can disable ncurses' mouse and supply their own
6321	  handler.
6322	+ add extensions keyok() and define_key().  These are designed to allow
6323	  the user's application better control over the use of function keys,
6324	  e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE.  (The define_key idea was from
6325	  a mailing-list thread started by Kenneth Albanowski
6326	  <kjahds@kjahds.com> Nov'1995).
6327	+ restore original behavior in ncurses 'g' test, i.e., explicitly
6328	  set the keypad mode rather than use the default, since it confuses
6329	  people.
6330	+ rewrote the newdemo banner so it's readable (reported by Hugh
6331	  Daniel).
6332	+ tidy up exit from hashtest (reported by Hugh Daniel).
6333	+ restore check for ^Q in ncurses 'g' test broken in 970510 (reported
6334	  by Hugh Daniel)
6335	+ correct tput program, checking return-value of setupterm (patch by
6336	  Florian La Roche).
6337	+ correct logic in pnoutrefresh() and pechochar() functions (reported
6338	  by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf.usc.edu>).  The computation
6339	  of 'wide' date to eric's #283 (1.9.9), and the pechochar bug to the
6340	  original implementation (1.9.6).
6341	+ correct typo in vt102-w terminfo.src entry (patch by Robert Wuest
6342	  <rwuest@sire.vt.com>)
6343	+ move calls of _nc_background() out of various loops, as its return
6344	  value will be the same for the whole window being operated on (patch
6345	  by J T Conklin).
6346	+ add macros getcur[xy] getbeg[xy] getpar[xy], which are defined in
6347	  SVr4 headers (patch by J T Conklin <jtc@NetBSD.ORG>)
6348	+ modify glibc addon-configure scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
6349	+ correct a bug in hashmap.c: the size used for clearing the hashmap
6350	  table was incorrect, causing stack corruption for large values of
6351	  LINES, e.g., >MAXLINES/2 (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6352	+ eric's terminfo 9.13.23 & 9.13.24 changes: replaced minitel-2 entry,
6353	  added MGR, ansi-nt (note: the changes described for 9.13.24 have not
6354	  been applied).
6355	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
6356	+ correct a missing error-return in form_driver.c when wrapping of a
6357	  field is not possible.
6358	+ correct logic in form_driver.c for configurations that do not have
6359	  memccpy() (reported by Sidik Isani <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
6360	+ change several c++ binding functions to inline.
6361	+ modify c++ menu binding to inherit from panels, for proper
6362	  initialization.
6363	+ correct freeing of menu items in c++ binding.
6364	+ modify c++ binding to reflect removal of const from user data pointer
6365	  in forms/menus libraries.
6366
6367970524
6368	+ add description of xterm-16color.
6369	+ modify name of shared-library on *BSD to end with $(REL_VERSION)
6370	  rather than $(ABI_VERSION) to match actual convention on FreeBSD
6371	  (cf: 960713).
6372	+ add OpenBSD to shared-library case, same as NetBSD and FreeBSD
6373	  (reported by Hugh Daniel <hugh@rat.toad.com>).
6374	+ corrected include-dependency in menu/Makefile so that "make install"
6375	  works properly w/o first doing "make".
6376	+ add fallback definition for isascii, used in infocmp.
6377	+ modify xmas to use color, and to exit right away when a key is
6378	  pressed.
6379	+ modify gdc so that the scrolled digits function as described (there
6380	  was no time delay between the stages, and the digits overwrote the
6381	  bounding box without tidying up).
6382	+ modify lib_color.c to use setaf/setab only for the ANSI color codes
6383	  0 through 7.  Using 16 colors requires setf/setb.
6384	+ modify ncurses 'c' test to work with 16 colors, as well as the normal
6385	  8 colors.
6386	+ remove const qualifier from user data pointer in forms and menus
6387	  libraries (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6388	+ rewrote 'waddchnstr()' to avoid using the _nc_waddch_nosync()
6389	  function, thereby not interpreting tabs, etc., as per spec (patch by
6390	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6391
6392970517
6393	+ suppress check for pre-existing ncurses header if the --prefix
6394	  option is specified.
6395	+ add configure options "--with-system-type" and
6396	  "--with-system-release" to assist in checking the generated
6397	  makefiles.
6398	+ add configure option "--enable-rpath" to allow installers to specify
6399	  that programs linked against shared libraries will have their library
6400	  path embedded, allowing installs into nonstandard locations.
6401	+ add flags to OSF1 shared-library options to specify version and
6402	  symbol file (patch by Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>)
6403	+ add missing definition for ABI_VERSION to c++/Makefile.in (reported
6404	  by Satoshi Adachi <adachi@wisdom.aa.ap.titech.ac.jp>).
6405	+ modify link flags to accommodate HP-UX linker which embeds absolute
6406	  pathnames in executables linked against shared libraries (reported by
6407	  Jason Evans <jasone@mrc.uidaho.edu>, solved by Alan Shutko
6408	  <ats@hubert.wustl.edu>).
6409	+ drop unnecessary check for attribute-change in onscreen_mvcur() since
6410	  mvcur() is the only caller within the library, and that check in turn
6411	  is exercised only from lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
6412	  Lukyanov).
6413	+ add 'blank' parameter to _nc_scroll_window() so _nc_mvcur_scrolln()
6414	  can use the background of stdscr as a parameter to that function
6415	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6416	+ moved _nc_mvcur_scrolln() from lib_mvcur.c to lib_doupdate.c, to use
6417	  the latter's internal functions, as well as to eliminate unnecessary
6418	  cursor save/restore operations (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6419	+ omit parameter of ClrUpdate(), since it is called only for newscr,
6420	  further optimized/reduced by using ClearScreen() and TransformLine()
6421	  to get rid of duplicate code (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6422	+ modify scrolling algorithm in _nc_scroll_optimize() to reject hunks
6423	  that are smaller than the distance to be moved (patch by Alexander V.
6424	  Lukyanov).
6425	+ correct a place where the panel library was not ifdef'd in ncurses.c
6426	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
6427	+ documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer)
6428
6429970515	4.1 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
6430	+ re-tag changes since 970505 as 4.1 release.
6431
6432970510
6433	+ modify ncurses 'g' test to allow mouse input
6434	+ modify default xterm description to include mouse.
6435	+ modify configure script to add -Wwrite-strings if gcc warnings are
6436	  enabled while configuring --enable-const (and fixed related
6437	  warnings).
6438	+ add toggle, status display for keypad mode to ncurses 'g' test to
6439	  verify that keypad and scrollok are not inherited from parent window
6440	  during a call to newwin.
6441	+ correction to MKexpanded.sh to make it work when configure --srcdir
6442	  is used (reported by H.J.Lu).
6443	+ revise test for bool-type, ensuring that it checks if builtin.h is
6444	  available before including it, adding test for sizeof(bool) equal
6445	  to sizeof(short), and warning user if the size cannot be determined
6446	  (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6447	+ add files to support configuration of ncurses as an add-on library
6448	  for GNU libc (patch by H.J.Lu <hjl@lucon.org>)
6449
6450970506
6451	+ correct buffer overrun in lib_traceatr.c
6452	+ modify change to lib_vidattr.c to avoid redundant orig_pair.
6453	+ turn on 'echo()' in hanoi.c, since it is initially off.
6454	+ rename local 'errno' variable in etip.h to avoid conflict with global
6455	  (H.J.Lu).
6456	+ modify configure script to cache LD, AR, AR_OPTS (patch by H.J.Lu
6457	  <hjl@lucon.org>)
6458
6459970505	4.1 pre-release
6460	+ regenerate the misc directory html dumps without the link list, which
6461	  is not useful.
6462	+ correct dependency in form directory makefile which caused
6463	  unnecessary recompiles.
6464	+ correct substitution for ABI_VERSION in test-makefile
6465	+ modify install rules for shared-library targets to remove the target
6466	  before installing, since some install programs do not properly handle
6467	  overwrite of symbolic links.
6468	+ change order of top-level targets so that 'include' immediate
6469	  precedes the 'ncurses' directory, reducing the time between new
6470	  headers and new libraries (requested by Larry Virden).
6471	+ modify lib_vidattr.c so that colors are turned off only before
6472	  modifying other attributes, turned on after others.  This makes the
6473	  hanoi.c program display correctly on FreeBSD console.
6474	+ modify debug code in panel library to print user-data addresses
6475	  rather than the strings which they (may) point to.
6476	+ add check to ensure that C++ binding and demo are not built with g++
6477	  versions below 2.7, since the binding uses templates.
6478	+ modify c++ binding and demo to build and run with SGI's c++ compiler.
6479	  (It also compiles with the Sun SparcWorks compiler, but the demo does
6480	  not link, due to a vtbl problem).
6481	+ corrections to demo.cc, to fix out-of-scope variables (Juergen
6482	  Pfeifer).
6483
6484970503
6485	+ correct memory leak in _nc_trace_buf().
6486	+ add configure test for regexpr.h, for Unixware 1.x.
6487	+ correct missing "./" prefixing names of generated files in ncurses
6488	  directory.
6489	+ use single-quotes in configure scripts assignments for MK_SHARED_LIB
6490	  to workaround shell bug on FreeBSD 2.1.5
6491	+ remove tabs from intermediate #define's for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF
6492	  that caused incorrect result in ncurses_cfg.h
6493	+ correct initialization in lib_trace.c, which omitted version info.
6494	+ remove ech, el1 attributes from cons25w description; they appear to
6495	  malfunction in FreeBSD 2.1.5
6496	+ correct color attributes in terminfo.src and lib_color.c to match
6497	  SVr4 behavior by interchanging codes 1,4, 3,6 in the setf/setb
6498	  capabilities.
6499	+ use curs_set() rather than checks via tigetstr() for test programs
6500	  that hide the cursor: firework, rain, worm.
6501	+ ensure that if the terminal lacks change_scroll_region, parm_index
6502	  and parm_rindex are used only to scroll the whole screen (patch by
6503	  Peter Wemm).
6504	+ correct curs_set() logic, which did not return ERR if the requested
6505	  attributes did not exist, nor did it assume an unknown initial state
6506	  for the cursor (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6507	+ combine IDcTransformLine and NoIDcTransformLine to new TransformLine
6508	  function in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6509	+ correct hashmap.c, which did not update index information (patch by
6510	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6511	+ fixes for C++ binding and demo (see c++/NEWS) (Juergen Pfeifer).
6512	+ correct index in lib_instr.c (Juergen Pfeifer).
6513	+ correct typo in 970426 patch from Tom's cleanup of lib_overlay.c
6514	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6515
6516970426
6517	+ corrected cost computation in PutRange(), which was using
6518	  milliseconds compared to characters by adding two new members to the
6519	  SCREEN struct, _hpa_ch_cost and _cup_ch_cost.
6520	+ drop ncurses/lib_unctrl.c, add ncurses/MKunctrl.awk to generate a
6521	  const array of strings (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).  The
6522	  original suggestion in 970118 used a perl script.
6523	+ rewrote ncurses 'b' test to better exercise magic-cookie (xmc), as
6524	  well as noting the attributes that are not supported by a terminal.
6525	+ trace the computation of cost values in lib_mvcur.c
6526	+ modify _nc_visbuf() to use octal rather than hex, corrected sign
6527	  extension bug in that function that caused buffer overflow.
6528	+ modify trace in lib_acs.c to use _nc_visbuf().
6529	+ suppress trace within _traceattr2().
6530	+ correct logic of _tracechtype2(), which did not account for repeats
6531	  or redefinition within an acsc string.
6532	+ modify debug-library version baudrate() to use environment variable
6533	  $BAUDRATE to override speed computation.  This is needed for
6534	  regression testing.
6535	+ correct problems shown by "weblint -pedantic".
6536	+ update mailing-list information (now ncurses@bsdi.com).
6537
6538970419
6539	+ Improve form_field_validation.3x manpage to better describe the
6540	  precision parameter for TYPE_NUMERIC and TYPE_INTEGER.  Provide more
6541	  precise information how the range checking can be avoided.  (patch by
6542	  Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan Henderson)
6543	+ change type of min/max value of form types TYPE_INTEGER to long to
6544	  match SVr4 documentation.
6545	+ set the form window to stdscr in set_form_win() so that form_win()
6546	  won't return null (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan
6547	  Henderson <bryanh@giraffe.netgate.net>).
6548
6549970412
6550	+ corrected ifdef'ing of inline (cf: 970321) for TRACE vs C++.
6551	+ corrected toggle_attr_off() macro (patch by Andries Brouwer).
6552	+ modify treatment of empty token in $MANPATH to /usr/man (reported by
6553	  <Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>)
6554	+ modify traces that record functions-called so that chtype and attr_t
6555	  values are expressed symbolically, to simplify reuse of generated
6556	  test-scripts on SVr4 regression testing.
6557	+ add new trace functions _traceattr2() and _tracechtype2()
6558
6559970405
6560	+ add configure option --enable-const, to support the use of 'const'
6561	  where XSI should have, but did not, specify.  This defines
6562	  NCURSES_CONST, which is an empty token otherwise, for strict
6563	  compatibility.
6564	+ make processing of configure options more verbose by echoing the
6565	  --enable/--with values.
6566	+ add configure option --enable-big-core
6567	+ set initial state of software echo off as per XSI.
6568	+ check for C++ builtin.h header
6569	+ correct computation of absolute-path for $INSTALL that dropped "-c"
6570	  parameter from the expression.
6571	+ rename config.h to ncurses_cfg.h to avoid naming-conflict when
6572	  ncurses is integrated into larger systems (adapted from diffs by
6573	  H.J.Lu for libc).
6574	+ correct inequality in lib_doupdate.c that caused a single-char to not
6575	  be updated when the char on the right-margin was not blank, idcok()
6576	  was true (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov (in 970124), reported
6577	  by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu> in 970329).
6578	+ modify 'clean' rule in include/Makefile so that files created by
6579	  configure script are removed in 'distclean' rule instead.
6580
6581970328
6582	+ correct array limit in tparam_internal(), add case to interpret "%x"
6583	  (patch by Andreas Schwab)
6584	+ rewrote number-parsing in ncurses.c 'd' test; it did not reset the
6585	  value properly when non-numeric characters were given (reported by
6586	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
6587
6588970321
6589	+ move definition of __INTERNAL_CAPS_VISIBLE before include for
6590	  progs.priv.h (patch by David MacKenzie).
6591	+ add configuration summary, reordered check for default include
6592	  directory to better accommodate a case where installer is configuring
6593	  a second copy of ncurses (reported by Klaus Weide
6594	  <kweide@tezcat.com>)
6595	+ moved the #define for 'inline' as an empty token from the
6596	  $(CFLAGS_DEBUG) symbol into config.h, to avoid redefinition warning
6597	  (reported by Ward Horner).
6598	+ modify test for bool builtin type to use 'unsigned' rather than
6599	  'unknown' when cross-compiling (reported by Ward Horner).
6600
6601970315
6602	+ add header dependencies so that "make install.libs" will succeed
6603	  even if "make all" is not done first.
6604	+ moved some macros from lib_doupdate.c to curses.priv.h to use in
6605	  expanded functions with ATAC.
6606	+ correct implementation of lib_instr.c; both XSI and SVr4 agree that
6607	  the winnstr functions can return more characters than will fit on one
6608	  line.
6609
6610970308
6611	+ modify script that generates lib_gen.c to support traces of called &
6612	  return.
6613	+ add new configure option "--disable-macros", for testing calls within
6614	  lib_gen.c
6615	+ corrected logic that screens level-checking of called/return traces.
6616
6617970301
6618	+ use new configure macro NC_SUBST to replace AC_PATH_PROG, better
6619	  addressing request by Ward Horner.
6620	+ check for cross-compiling before trying to invoke the autoconf
6621	  AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED macro (reported by Ward Horner)
6622	+ correct/simplify loop in _nc_visbuf(), 970201 changes omitted
6623	  a pointer-increment.
6624	+ eliminate obsolete symbol SHARED_ABI from dist.mk (noted by
6625	  Florian La Roche).
6626
6627970215
6628	+ add configure option --enable-expanded, together with code that
6629	  implements an expanded form of certain complex macros, for testing
6630	  with ATAC.
6631	+ disable CHECK_POSITION unless --with-assertions is configured
6632	  (Alexander V Lukyanov pointed out that this is redundant).
6633	+ use keyname() to show traced chtype values where applicable rather
6634	  than _tracechar(), which truncates the value to 8-bits.
6635	+ minor fixes to TRACE_ICALLS, added T_CREATE, TRACE_CCALLS macros.
6636	+ modify makefiles in progs and test directories to avoid using C
6637	  preprocessor options on link commands (reported by Ward Horner)
6638	+ correct ifdef/include-order for nc_alloc.h vs lib_freeall.c (reported
6639	  by Ward Horner)
6640	+ modify ifdef's to use configure-defined symbols consistently
6641	  (reported by Ward Horner)
6642	+ add/use new makefile symbols AR, AR_OPTS and LD to assist in non-UNIX
6643	  ports (reported by Ward Horner <whorner@tsi-telsys.com>)
6644	+ rename struct try to struct tries, to avoid name conflict with C++
6645	  (reported by Gary Johnson).
6646	+ modify worm.c to hide cursor while running.
6647	+ add -Wcast-qual to gcc warnings, fix accordingly.
6648	+ use PutChar rather than PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to properly handle
6649	  wrapping (Alexander V Lukyanov).
6650	+ correct spurious echoing of input in hanoi.c from eric's #291 & #292
6651	  patches (reported by Vernon C. Hoxie <vern@zebra.alphacdc.com>).
6652	+ extend IRIX configuration to IRIX64
6653	+ supply missing install.libs rule needed after restructuring
6654	  test/Makefile.in
6655
6656970208
6657	+ modify "make mostlyclean" to leave automatically-generated source
6658	  in the ncurses directory, for use in cross-compiles.
6659	+ autogenerated object-dependencies for test directory
6660	+ add configure option --with-rcs-ids
6661	+ modify configuration scripts to generate major/minor/patch versions
6662	  (suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
6663	+ supply missing va_end's in lib_scanw.c
6664	+ use stream I/O for trace-output, to eliminate fixed-size buffer
6665	+ add TRACE_ICALLS definition/support to lib_trace.c
6666	+ modify Ada95 binding to work with GNAT 3.09 (Juergen Pfeifer).
6667
6668970201
6669	+ add/modify traces for called/return values to simplify extraction
6670	  for test scripts.
6671	+ changed _nc_visbuf to quote its result, and to dynamically allocate
6672	  the returned buffer.
6673	+ invoke ldconfig after installing shared library
6674	+ modify install so that overwrite applies to shared library -lcurses
6675	  in preference to static library (reported by Zeyd M Ben-Halim 960928).
6676	+ correct missing ';' in 961221 mod to overwrite optional use of $(LN_S)
6677	  symbol.
6678	+ fixes to allow "make install" to work without first doing a "make
6679	  all" (suggested by Larry Virden).
6680
6681970125
6682	+ correct order of #ifdef for TABS_OK.
6683	+ instrumented toe.c to test memory-leaks.
6684	+ correct memory-deallocation in toe.c (patch by Jesse Thilo).
6685	+ include <sys/types.h> in configuration test for regex.h (patch by
6686	  Andreas Schwab)
6687	+ make infocmp recognize -I option, for SVr4 compatibility (reported by
6688	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
6689
6690970118
6691	+ add extension 'use_default_colors()', modified test applications that
6692	  use default background (firework, gdc, hanoi, knight, worm) to
6693	  demonstrate.
6694	+ correct some limit checks in lib_doupdate.c exposed while running
6695	  worm.
6696	+ use typeCalloc macro for readability.
6697	+ add/use definition for CONST to accommodate testing with Solaris
6698	  (SVr4) curses, which doesn't use 'const' in its prototypes.
6699	+ modify ifdef's in test/hashtest.c and test/view.c to compile with
6700	  Solaris curses.
6701	+ modify _tracedump() to pad pad colors & attrs lines to match change
6702	  in 970101 showing first/last changes.
6703	+ corrected location of terminating null on dynamically allocated forms
6704	  fields (patch by Per Foreby).
6705
6706970111
6707	+ added headers to make view.c compile on SCO with the resizeterm()
6708	  code (i.e., struct winsize) - though this compiles, I don't have a
6709	  suitable test configuration since SIGWINCH doesn't pass my network to
6710	  that machine - T.Dickey.
6711	+ update test/configure.in to supply some default substitutions.
6712	+ modify configure script to add -lncurses after -lgpm to fix problem
6713	  linking against static libraries.
6714	+ add a missing noraw() to test/ncurses.c (places noted by Jeremy
6715	  Buhler)
6716	+ add a missing wclear() to test/testcurs.c (patch by Jeremy Buhler
6717	  <jbuhler@cs.washington.edu>)
6718	+ modify headers to accommodate compilers that don't allow duplicate
6719	  "#define" lines for NCURSES_VERSION (reported by Larry W. Virden
6720	  <lvirden@cas.org>)
6721	+ fix formatting glitch in curs_getch.3x (patch by Jesse Thilo).
6722	+ modify lib_doupdate to make el, el1 and ed optimization use the
6723	  can_clear_with macro, and change EmitRange to allow leaving cursor at
6724	  the middle of interval, rather than always at the end (patch by
6725	  Alexander V Lukyanov).  This was originally 960929, resync 970106.
6726
6727970104
6728	+ workaround defect in autoconf 2.12 (which terminates configuration
6729	  if no C++ compiler is found) by adding an option --without-cxx.
6730	+ modify several man-pages to use tbl, where .nf/.fi was used (reported
6731	  by Jesse Thilo).
6732	+ correct font-codes in some man-pages (patch by Jesse Thilo
6733	  <Jesse.Thilo@pobox.com>)
6734	+ use configure script's knowledge of existence of g++ library for the
6735	  c++ Makefile (reported by Paul Jackson).
6736	+ correct misleading description of --datadir configuration option
6737	  (reported by Paul Jackson <pj@sam.engr.sgi.com>)
6738
6739970101
6740	+ several corrections to _nc_mvcur_scrolln(), prompted by a bug report
6741	  from Peter Wemm:
6742	> the logic for non_dest_scroll_region was interchanged between the
6743	  forward & reverse scrolling cases.
6744	> multiple returns from the function allowed certain conditions to do
6745	  part of an operation before discovering that it couldn't be
6746	  completed, returning an error without restoring the cursor.
6747	> some returns were ERR, where the function had completed the
6748	  operation, because the insert/delete line logic was improperly
6749	  tested (this was probably the case Peter saw).
6750	> contrary to comments, some scrolling cases were tested after the
6751	  insert/delete line method.
6752	+ modify _tracedump() to show first/last changes.
6753	+ modify param of ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c to 'newscr', fixes
6754	  refresh problem (reported by Peter Wemm) that caused nvi to not show
6755	  result of ":r !ls" until a ^L was typed.
6756
6757961229	(internal alpha)
6758	+ correct some of the writable-strings warnings (reported by Gary
6759	  Johnson <gjohnson@season.com>).  Note that most of the remaining ones
6760	  are part of the XSI specification, and can't be "fixed".
6761	+ improve include-dependencies in form, menu, panel directories.
6762	+ correct logic of delay_output(), which would return early if
6763	  there is data on stdin.
6764	+ modify interface & logic of _nc_timed_wait() to support 2 file
6765	  descriptors, needed for GPM.
6766	+ integrate patch by Andrew Kuchling <amk@magnet.com> for GPM (mouse)
6767	  support, correcting logic in wgetch() and _nc_mouse_parse() which
6768	  prevented patch from working properly -TD
6769	+ improve performance of panel algorithm (Juergen Pfeifer 961203).
6770	+ strip RCS id's from generated .html files in Ada95 subtree.
6771	+ resync with generated .html files (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
6772	+ terminfo.src 10.1.0 (ESR).
6773
6774961224	4.0 release
6775	+ release as 4.0 to accommodate Linux ld.so.1.8.5
6776	+ correct syntax/spelling, regenerated .doc files from .html using
6777	  lynx 2.5
6778	+ refined forms/menus makefiles (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
6779
6780961221	- snapshot
6781	+ remove logic in read_entry.c that attempts to refine errno by using
6782	  'access()' for the directory (from patch by Florian La Roche).
6783	+ correct configure test/substitution that inhibits generating
6784	  include-path to /usr/include if gcc is used (reported by Florian La
6785	  Roche).
6786	+ modify setupterm() to allocate new TERMINAL for each call, just as
6787	  solaris' curses does (Alexander V Lukyanov 960829).
6788	+ corrected memory leaks in read_entry.c
6789	+ add configure options --with-dbmalloc, --with-dmalloc, and
6790	  --disable-leaks, tested by instrumenting infocmp, ncurses programs.
6791	+ move #include's for stdlib.h and string.h to *.priv.h to accommodate
6792	  use of dbmalloc.
6793	+ modify use of $(LN_S) to follow recommendation in autoconf 2.12,
6794	  i.e., set current directory before linking.
6795	+ split-out panel.priv.h, improve dependencies for forms, menus
6796	  (Juergen Pfeifer 961204).
6797	+ modify _nc_freewin() to reset globals curscr/newscr/stdscr when
6798	  freeing the corresponding WINDOW (found using Purify).
6799	+ modify delwin() to return ERR if the window to be deleted has
6800	  subwindows, needed as a side-effect of resizeterm() (found using
6801	  Purify).  Tested and found that SVr4 curses behaves this way.
6802	+ implement logic for _nc_freeall(), bringing stub up to date.
6803
6804961215
6805	+ modify wbkgd() so that it doesn't set nulls in the rendered text,
6806	  even if its argument doesn't specify a character (fixes test case by
6807	  Juergen Pfeifer for bug-report).
6808	+ set window-attributes in wbkgd(), to simplify comparison against
6809	  Solaris curses, which does this.
6810
6811961214	- snapshot
6812	+ replace most constants in ncurses 'o' test by expressions, making it
6813	  work with wider range of screen sizes.
6814	+ add options to ncurses.c to specify 'e' test softkey format, and the
6815	  number of header/footer lines to rip-off.
6816	+ add ^R (repaint after resize), ^L (refresh) commands to ncurses 'p'
6817	  test.
6818	+ add shell-out (!) command to ncurses 'p' test to allow test of
6819	  resize between endwin/refresh.
6820	+ correct line-wrap case in mvcur() by emitting carriage return,
6821	  overlooked in 960928, but needed due to SVr4 compatibility changes to
6822	  terminal modes in 960907.
6823	+ correct logic in wresize that causes new lines to be allocated,
6824	  broken for the special case of increasing rows only in 960907's fix
6825	  for subwindows.
6826	+ modify configure script to generate $(LDFLAGS) with -L and -l options
6827	  in preference to explicit library filenames.  (NOTE: this may
6828	  require further amending, since I vaguely recall a dynamic loader
6829	  that did not work properly without the full names, but it should be
6830	  handled as an exception to the rule, since some linkers do bulk
6831	  inclusion of libraries when given the full name - T.Dickey).
6832	+ modify configure script to allow user-supplied $CFLAGS to set the
6833	  debug-option in all libraries (requested by lots of people) -TD
6834	+ use return consistently from main(), rather than exit (reported by
6835	  Florian La Roche).
6836	+ add --enable-getcap-cache option to configure, normally disabled
6837	  (requested by Florian La Roche).
6838	+ make configure test for gettimeofday() and possibly -lbsd more
6839	  efficient (requested by Florian La Roche <florian@knorke.saar.de>)
6840	+ minor adjustments to Ada95 binding (patches by Juergen Pfeifer)
6841	+ correct attributes after emitting orig_pair in lib_vidattr.c (patch
6842	  by Alexander V Lukyanov).
6843
6844961208
6845	+ corrected README wrt Ada95 (Juergen Pfeifer)
6846
6847961207	- snapshot
6848	+ integrate resizeterm() into doupdate(), so that if screen size
6849	  changes between endwin/refresh, ncurses will resize windows to fit
6850	  (this needs additional testing with pads and softkeys).
6851	+ add, for memory-leak testing, _nc_freeall() entrypoint to free all
6852	  data used in ncurses library.
6853	+ initialize _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok statically to resolve discrepancy
6854	  between initscr() and newwin() initialization (reported by
6855	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
6856	+ test built VERSION=4.0, SHARED_ABI=4 with Linux ld.so.1.8.5
6857	  (set beta versions to those values -- NOTE that subsequent pre-4.0
6858	  beta may not be interchangeable).
6859	+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.12
6860
6861961130	1.9.9g release
6862	+ add copyright notices to configuration scripts (written by Thomas
6863	  Dickey).
6864
6865961127
6866	> patch, mostly for panel (Juergen Pfeifer):
6867	+ cosmetic improvement for a few routines in the ncurses core library
6868	  to avoid warning messages.
6869	+ the panel overlap detection was broken
6870	+ the panel_window() function was not fool-proof.
6871	+ Some inlining...
6872	+ Cosmetic changes (also to avoid warning messages when compiling with
6873	  -DTRACE).
6874
6875961126
6876	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6877	+ eliminates warning messages for the compile of libform.
6878	+ inserts Per Foreby's new field type TYPE_IPV4 into libform.
6879	+ Updates man page and the Ada95 binding to reflect this.
6880	+ Improves inlining in libmenu and libform.
6881
6882961120
6883	+ improve the use of the "const" qualifier in the
6884	  panel library (Juergen Pfeifer)
6885	+ change set_panel_userptr() and panel_userptr() to use void*
6886	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
6887
6888961119
6889	+ change ABI to 3.4
6890	+ package with 961119 version of Ada95 binding (fixes for gnat-3.07).
6891	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
6892	+ correct initialization of the stdscr pseudo panel in panel library
6893	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
6894	+ use MODULE_ID (rcs keywords) in forms and menus libraries (Juergen
6895	  Pfeifer).
6896	> patch #324 (ESR):
6897	+ typo in curs_termcap man page (reported by Hendrik Reichel
6898	  <106065.2344@compuserve.com>)
6899	+ change default xterm entry to xterm-r6.
6900	+ add entry for color_xterm
6901
6902961116	- snapshot
6903	+ lint found several functions that had only #define implementations
6904	  (e.g., attr_off), modified curses.h.in to generate them as per XSI
6905	  Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
6906	+ add check in infocmp.c to guard against string compare of
6907	  CANCELLED_STRING values.
6908	+ modify firework.c, rain.c to hide cursor while running.
6909	+ correct missing va_end in lib_tparm.c
6910	+ modify hanoi.c to work on non-color terminals, and to use timing
6911	  delays when in autoplay mode.
6912	+ correct 'echochar()' to refresh immediately (reported by Adrian
6913	  Garside <94ajg2@eng.cam.ac.uk>)
6914	> patch #322 (ESR):
6915	+ reorganize terminfo.src entries for xterm.
6916
6917961109	- snapshot
6918	+ corrected error in line-breakout logic (lib_doupdate.c)
6919	+ modified newdemo to use wgetch(win) rather than getch() to eliminate
6920	  a spurious clear-screen.
6921	+ corrected ifdef's for 'poll()' configuration.
6922	+ added modules to ncurses, form, menu for Ada95 binding (Juergen
6923	  Pfeifer).
6924	+ modify set_field_buffer() to allow assignment of string longer than
6925	  the initial buffer length, and to return the complete string rather
6926	  than only the initial size (Juergen Pfeifer and Per Foreby
6927	  <perf@efd.lth.se>).
6928
6929961102	- snapshot
6930	+ configure for 'poll()' in preference to 'select()', since older
6931	  systems are more likely to have a broken 'select()'.
6932	+ modified render_char() to avoid OR'ing colors.
6933	+ minor fixes to testcurs.c, newdemo.c test programs: ifdef'd out the
6934	  resize test, use wbkgd and corrected box() parameters.
6935	+ make flushinp() test work in ncurses.c by using napms() instead of
6936	  sleep().
6937	+ undo ESR's changes to xterm-x11r6 (it no longer matched the X11R6.1
6938	  distribution, as stated)
6939	+ terminfo 9.13.18 resync (ESR)
6940	+ check for getenv("HOME") returning null (ESR).
6941	+ change buffer used to decode xterm-mouse commands to unsigned to
6942	  handle displays wider than 128 chars (Juergen Pfeifer).
6943	+ correct typo curs_outopts.3x (Juergen Pfeifer).
6944	+ correct limit-checking in wenclose() (Juergen Pfeifer).
6945	+ correction to Peter Wemm's newwin change (Thomas Fehr
6946	  <fehr@suse.de>).
6947	+ corrections to logic that combines colors and attributes; they must
6948	  not be OR'd (Juergen Pfeifer, extending from report/patch by Rick
6949	  Marshall).
6950
6951961026	- snapshot
6952	+ reset flags in 'getwin()' that might cause refresh to attempt to
6953	  manipulate the non-existent parent of a window that is read from a
6954	  file (lib_screen.c).
6955	+ restructure _nc_timed_wait() to log more information, and to try to
6956	  recover from badly-behaved 'select()' calls (still testing this).
6957	+ move define for GOOD_SELECT into configure script.
6958	+ corrected extra '\' character inserted before ',' in comp_scan.c
6959	+ corrected expansion of %-format characters in dump_entry.c; some were
6960	  rendered as octal constants.
6961	+ modify dump_entry.c to make terminfo output more readable and like
6962	  SVr4, by using "\s" for spaces (leading/trailing only), "\," for
6963	  comma, "\^" and "\:" as well.
6964	+ corrected some memory leaks in ncurses.c, and a minor logic error
6965	  in the top-level command-parser.
6966	+ correction for label format 4 (PC style with info line), a
6967	  slk_clear(), slk_restore() sequence didn't redraw the info line
6968	  (Juergen Pfeifer).
6969	+ modified the slk window (if simulated) to inherit the background and
6970	  default character attributes from stdscr (Juergen Pfeifer).
6971	+ corrected limit-check in set_top_row (Juergen Pfeifer).
6972
6973961019	- snapshot
6974	+ correct loop-limit in wnoutrefresh(), bug exposed during pipe-testing
6975	  had '.lastchar' entry one beyond '._maxx'.
6976	+ modify ncurses test-program to work with data piped to it.
6977	+ corrected pathname computation in run_tic.sh, removing extra "../"
6978	  (reported by Tim Mooney).
6979	+ modified configure script to use previous install's location for
6980	  curses.h
6981	+ added NetBSD and FreeBSD to platforms that use --prefix=/usr as
6982	  a default.
6983
6984961013
6985	+ revised xterm terminfo descriptions to reflect the several versions
6986	  that are available.
6987	+ corrected a pointer reference in dump_entry.c that didn't test if
6988	  the pointer was -1.
6989
6990961005	- snapshot
6991	+ correct _nc_mvcur_scrolln for terminals w/o scrolling region.
6992	+ add -x option to hashtest to control whether it allows writes to the
6993	  lower-right corner.
6994	+ ifdef'd (NCURSES_TEST) the logic for _nc_optimize_enable to make it
6995	  simpler to construct tests (for double-check of _nc_hash_map tests).
6996	+ correct ifdef's for c++ in curses.h
6997	+ change default xterm type to xterm-x11r6.
6998	+ correct quoting in configure that made man-pages installed with
6999	  $datadir instead of actual terminfo path.
7000	+ correct whitespace in include/Caps, which caused kf11, clr_eol and
7001	  clr_end to be omitted from terminfo.5
7002	+ fix memory leaks in delscreen() (adapted from Alexander V Lukyanov).
7003	+ improve appearance of marker in multi-selection menu (Juergen
7004	  Pfeifer)
7005	+ fix behavior for forms with all fields inactive (Juergen Pfeifer)
7006	+ document 'field_index()' (Juergen Pfeifer)
7007	> patch #321 (ESR):
7008	+ add some more XENIX keycap translations to include/Caps.
7009	+ modify newwin to set initial state of each line to 'touched'
7010	  (from patch by Peter Wemm <peter@spinner.dialix.com>)
7011	+ in SET_TTY, replace TCSANOW with TCSADRAIN (Alexander V Lukyanov).
7012
7013960928	- snapshot
7014	+ ifdef'd out _nc_hash_map (still slower)
7015	+ add graphic characters to vt52 description.
7016	+ use PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to ensure proper background, position.
7017	+ simplify/correct logic in 'mvcur()' that does wrapping; it was
7018	  updating the position w/o actually moving the cursor, which broke
7019	  relative moves.
7020	+ ensure that 'doupdate()' sets the .oldindex values back to a sane
7021	  state; this was causing a spurious refresh in ncurses 'r'.
7022	+ add logic to configure (from vile) to guard against builders who
7023	  don't remove config.cache & config.status when doing new builds -TD
7024	+ corrected logic for 'repeat_char' in EmitRange (cf: eric #317), which
7025	  did not follow the 2-parameter scheme specified in XSI.
7026	+ corrected logic of wrefresh, wnoutrefresh broken in #319, making
7027	  clearok work properly (report by Michael Elkins).
7028	+ corrected problem with endwin introduced by #314 (removing the
7029	  scrolling-region reset) that broke ncurses.c tests.
7030	+ corrected order of args in AC_CHECK_LIB (from report by Ami Fischman
7031	  <fischman@math.ucla.edu>).
7032	+ corrected formatting of terminfo.5 tables (Juergen Ehling)
7033	> patch 320 (ESR):
7034	+ change ABI to 3.3
7035	+ emit a carriage-return in 'endwin()' to workaround a kernel bug in
7036	  BSDI.  (requested by Mike Karels <karels@redrock.bsdi.com>)
7037	+ reverse the default o configure --enable-termcap (consensus).
7038	> patch 319 (ESR):
7039	+ modified logic for clearok and related functions (from report by
7040	  Michael Elkins) - untested
7041	> patch 318 (ESR):
7042	+ correction to #317.
7043	> patch 317 (ESR):
7044	+ re-add _nc_hash_map
7045	+ modify EmitRange to maintain position as per original design.
7046	+ add hashtest.c, program to time the hashmap optimization.
7047	> patch 316 (ESR):
7048	+ add logic to deal with magic-cookie (how was this tested?)
7049	  (lib_doupdate.c).
7050	+ add ncurses.c driver for magic-cookie, some fixes to ncurses.c
7051	> patch 315 (ESR):
7052	+ merged Alexander V Lukyanov's patch to use ech and rep - untested
7053	  (lib_doupdate.c).
7054	+ modified handling of interrupted system calls - untested
7055	  (lib_getch.c, lib_twait.c).
7056	+ new function _nc_mvcur_resume()
7057	+ fix return value for 'overlay()', 'overwrite()'
7058
7059960914	- snapshot
7060	+ implement subwindow-logic in wresize, minor fixes to ncurses 'g'
7061	  test.
7062	+ corrected bracketing of fallback.c (reported/suggested fix by Juergen
7063	  Ehling <eh@eclipse.aball.de>).
7064	+ update xterm-color to reflect XFree86 3.1.3G release.
7065	+ correct broken dtterm description from #314 patch (e.g., spurious
7066	  newline.  The 'pairs' change might work, but no one's tested it
7067	  either ;-)
7068	+ clarify the documentation for the builtin form fieldtypes (Juergen
7069	  Pfeifer)
7070	> patch 314 (ESR):
7071	+ reset scroll region on startup rather than at wrapup time
7072	  (enhancement suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7073	+ make storage of palette tables and their size counts per-screen for
7074	  multi-terminal applications (suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7075	+ Improved error reporting for infotocap translation errors.
7076	+ Update terminfo.src to 9.13.14.
7077
7078960907	- snapshot
7079	+ rewrote wgetstr to make it erase control chars and also fix bogus use
7080	  of _nc_outstr which caused the display to not wrap properly (display
7081	  problem reported by John M. Flinchbaugh <glynis@netrax.net>)
7082	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to accommodate terminal responses to C1 codes
7083	  (and split up this screen to accommodate non-ANSI terminals).
7084	+ test enter_insert_mode and exit_insert_mode in has_ic().
7085	+ removed bogus logic in mvcur that assumes nl/nonl set output modes
7086	  (XSI says they are input modes; SVr4 implements this).
7087	+ added macros SET_TTY, GET_TTY to term.h
7088	+ correct getstr() logic that altered terminal modes w/o restoring.
7089	+ disable ICRNL, etc., during initialization to match SVr4, removing
7090	  the corresponding logic from raw, cbreak, etc.
7091	+ disable ONLCR during initialization, to match SVr4 (this is needed
7092	  for cursor optimization when the cursor-down is a newline).
7093	+ replaced ESR's imitation of wresize with my original (his didn't
7094	  work).
7095
7096960831	- snapshot
7097	+ memory leaks (Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7098	+ modified pnoutrefresh() to be more tolerant of too-large screen
7099	  size (reported by Michael Elkins).
7100	+ correct handling of terminfo files with no strings (Philippe De
7101	  Muyter)
7102	+ correct "tic -s" to take into account -I, -C options.
7103	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to not print codes 80 through 9F, since they
7104	  are considered control codes by ANSI terminals.
7105
7106960824	- snapshot
7107	+ correct speed variable-type in 'tgetent()' (reported by Peter Wemm)
7108	+ make "--enable-getcap" configuration-option work (reported by
7109	  Peter Wemm <peter@spinner.DIALix.COM>)
7110
7111960820
7112	+ correct err in 960817 that changed return-value of tigetflag()
7113	  (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7114	+ modify infocmp to use library default search-path for terminfo
7115	  directory (Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7116
7117960817	- snapshot
7118	+ corrected an err in mvcur that broke resizing-behavior.
7119	+ correct fall-thru behavior of _nc_read_entry(), which was not finding
7120	  descriptions that existed in directories past the first one searched
7121	  (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov)
7122	+ corrected typo in dtterm description.
7123	> patch 313 (ESR):
7124	+ add dtterm description

7191
7192960707
7193	+ rollback ESR's #305 change to terminfo.src (it breaks existing

7217	  of the screen.
7218
7219960629	- snapshot
7220	+ check return code of _nc_mvcur_scrolln() in _nc_scroll_optimize() for
7221	  terminals with no scrolling-support (reported by Nikolay Shadrin
7222	  <queen@qh.mirea.ac.ru>)
7223	+ added ^S scrollok-toggle to ncurses 'g' test.
7224	+ added ^T trace-toggle to ncurses tests.
7225	+ modified ncurses test program to use ^Q or ESC consistently for
7226	  terminating tests (rather than ^D), and to use control keys rather
7227	  than function keys in 'g' test.
7228	+ corrected misplaced wclrtoeol calls in addch to accommodate wrapping
7229	  (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
7230	+ modify lib_doupdate.c to use effective costs to tradeoff between

7232	  David MacKenzie).
7233	+ compute effective costs for screen update operations (e.g., clr_eos,
7234	  delete_character).
7235	+ corrected error in knight.c exposed by wrap fixes in 960622; the
7236	  msgwin needed scrollok set.
7237	+ corrected last change to IDcTransformLine logic to avoid conflict
7238	  between PutRange and InsStr
7239	+ modified run_tic.sh to not use /usr/tmp (reported by David

7242	+ corrected off-by-one in RoomFor call in read_entry.c
7243
7244960622	- snapshot
7245	+ modified logic that wraps cursor in addch to follow the XSI spec,
7246	  (implemented in SVr4) which states that the cursor position is
7247	  updated when wrapping.  Renamed _NEED_WRAP to _WRAPPED to reflect the
7248	  actual semantics.
7249	+ added -s option to tic, to provide better diagnostics in run_tic.sh
7250	+ improved error-recovery for tabset install.
7251	+ change ABI to 3.1 (dropped tparam, corrected getbkgd(), added

7255	+ documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer).
7256	+ corrected, using new SCREEN and WINDOW members, the behavior of
7257	  ncurses if one uses ripoffline() to remove a line from the top of the
7258	  screen (Juergen Pfeifer).
7259	+ modified autoconf scripts to prepare for Ada95 (GNAT) binding to
7260	  ncurses (Juergen Pfeifer).
7261	+ incorrect buffer-size in _nc_read_entry, reported by ESR.
7262
7263960617
7264	+ corrected two logic errors in read_entry.c, write_entry.c (called by
7265	  tic, the write/read of terminfo entries used inconsistent rules for
7266	  locating the entries; the $TERMINFO_DIRS code would find only the
7267	  first entry in a list).
7268	+ refined pathname computation in run_tic.sh and shlib.
7269	+ corrected initialization of $IP in misc/run_tic.sh
7270

7276	  with a shared-library configuration.
7277	+ adjusted configure script so that it doesn't run tests with the
7278	  warnings turned on, which makes config.log hard to read.
7279	+ added 'lint' rule to top-level Makefile.
7280	+ added configure option '--with-install-prefix' for use by system
7281	  builders to install into staging locations (requested by
7282	  Charles Levert <charles@comm.polymtl.ca>).
7283	+ corrected autoconfigure for Debian man program; it's not installed
7284	  as "man_db".
7285	+ set noecho in 'worm'; it was ifdef'd for debug only
7286	+ updated test/configure.in for timing-display in ncurses 'p' test
7287	+ corrected misspelled 'getbkgd()'.
7288	+ corrected wbkgdset to work like observed syvr4 (sets A_CHARTEXT part
7289	  to blank if no character given, copies attributes to window's
7290	  attributes).
7291	+ modified lib_doupdate.c to use lower-level SP's current_attr state
7292	  instead of curscr's state, since it is redundant.
7293	+ correction to IDcTransformLine logic which controls where InsStr is
7294	  invoked (refined by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7295	> patch 303 (ESR):
7296	+ conditionally include Chris Torek's hash function _nc_hash_map().
7297	+ better fix for nvi refresh-bug (Rick Marshall)

7311	+ enhancement to the control over the new PC-style soft key format.
7312	  allow caller now to select whether or not one wants to have

7336	+ locale fix for forms (Philippe De Muyter <phdemuyt@ulb.ac.be>)
7337	+ renamed "--with-datadir" option to "--with-ticdir" to avoid
7338	  confusion, and made this check for the /usr/lib/terminfo pre-existing

7387960426	- snapshot
7388	+ change ncurses 'a' test to run in raw mode.
7389	+ make TIOCGWINSZ configure test less stringent, in case user

7418
7419### ncurses-1.9.8a -> 1.9.9e
7420

7433  behaves like SVR4.
7434* use autoconf 2.7, which results in a working setup for SCO 5.0.
7435* support for ESCDELAY.
7436* small fixes for menu/form code.
7437* the test directory has its own configure.
7438* fixes to pads when optimizing scrolling.

7451  catastrophies or acts of God.
7452* The C++ has been cleaned up in reaction to the changes to satisfy XSI's
7453  requirements.
7454* libncurses now gets linked to libcurses to help seamless emulation

7469* fix read_entry() and write_entry() to pass through cancelled capabilities OK.
7470* Add $HOME/.terminfo as source/target directory for terminfo entries.
7471* termcap compilation now automatically dumps an entry to $HOME/.terminfo.

7474* added fallback-entry-list feature.
7475* added -i option to infocmp(1).
7476* do a better job at detecting if we're on SCO.
7477
7478### ncurses-1.9.5 -> 1.9.6
7479

7484* most data tables are now const and accordingly live in shareable text space.
7485* Obey the XPG4/SVr4 practice that echo() is initally off.
7486* tic is much better at translating XENIX and AIX termcap entries now.
7487* tic can interpret ko capabilities now.
7488* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's forms library.
7489* taught write_entry() how not to write more than it needs to; this change
7490  reduces the size of the terminfo tree by a full 26%!
7491* infocmp -T option added.
7492* better warnings about historical tic quirks from tic.
7493

7501* tweaks for compiling in seperate directories.
7502* Thomas Dickey's patches to support NeXT's brain-dead linker
7503* Eric Raymond's patches to fix problems with long termcap entries.
7504* more support for shared libraries under SunOS and IRIX.
7505
7506### ncurses 1.9.3 -> 1.9.4

7523  profile and shared object models.
7524
7525### ncurses 1.9.1 -> 1.9.2
7526
7527* use 'autoconf' to implement 'configure' script.
7528* panels support added

7530* first cut at eliminating namespace pollution.
7531
7532### ncurses 1.8.9 -> 1.9
7533
7534* cleanup gcc warnings for the following: use size_t where 'int' is not
7535  appropriate, fixed some shadowed variables, change attr_t to compatible with
7536  chtype, use attr_t in some places where it was confused with 'int'.
7537* use chtype/attr_t casts as appropriate to ensure portability of masking
7538  operations.
7539* added-back waddchnstr() to lib_addstr.c (it had been deleted).
7540* supplied missing prototypes in curses.h
7541* include <termcap.h> in lib_termcap.c to ensure that the prototypes
7542  are consistent (they weren't).
7543* corrected prototype of tputs in <termcap.h>
7544* rewrote varargs parsing in lib_tparm.c (to avoid referencing memory
7545  that may be out of bounds on the stack) -- Purify found this.
7546* ensure that TRACE is defined in lib_trace.c (to solve prototype
7547  warnings from gcc).
7548* corrected scrolling-region size in 'mvcur_wrap()'
7549* more spelling fixes
7550* use 'calloc()' to allocate WINDOW struct in lib_newwin.c (Purify).
7551* set default value for SP->_ofp in lib_set_term.c (otherwise SunOS dumps
7552  core in init_acs()).
7553* include <errno.h> in write_entry.c (most "braindead" includes declare errno
7554  in that file).
7555
7556### ncurses 1.8.8 -> 1.8.9
7557
7558* compile (mostly) clean with gcc 2.5.8 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
7559  -Wmissing-prototypes -Wconversion and using __attribute__ to flush out
7560  non-portable use of "%x" for pointers, or for chtype data (which is declared
7561  as a long).
7562* modified doupdate to ensure that typahead was turned on before attempting
7563  select-call (otherwise, some implementations hang).
7564* added trace mask TRACE_FIFO, use this in lib_getch.c to allow finer
7565  resolution of traces.
7566* improved bounds checking on several critical functions.
7567* the data directory has been replaced by the new master terminfo file.
7568* -F file-comparison option added to infocmp.
7569* compatibility with XSI Curses is now documented in the man bages.
7570* wsyncup/wsyncdown functions are reliable now; subwindow code in general
7571  is much less flaky.
7572* capabilities ~msgr, tilde_glitch, insert_padding, generic_type, no_pad_char,
7573  memory_above, memory_below, and hard_copy are now used properly.
7574* cursor-movement optimization has been completely rewritten.
7575* vertical-movement optimization now uses hardware scrolling, il, dl.
7576
7577### ncurses 1.8.7 -> 1.8.8
7578* untic no longer exists, infocmp replaces it.
7579* tic can understand termcap now, especially if it is called captoinfo.
7580* The Linux Standard Console terminfo entry is called linux insead of console.
7581  It also uses the kernel's new method of changing charsets.
7582* initscr() will EXIT upon error (as the docs say) This wil mostly happen if
7583  you try to run on an undefined terminal.
7584* I can get things running on AIX but tic can't compile terminfo. I have to
7585  compile entries on another machine. Volunteers to hunt this bug are welcome.
7586* wbkgd() and wbkgdset() can be used to set a windows background to color.
7587  wclear()/werase() DO NOT use the current attribute to clear the screen.
7588  This is the way SVR4 curses works. PDCurses 2.1 is broken in this respect,
7589  though PDCurses 2.2 has been fixed.
7590* cleaned up the test/ directory.
7591* test/worm will segfault after quite a while.
7592* many spelling corrections courtesy of Thomas E. Dickey
7593
7594### ncurses 1.8.6 -> 1.8.7
7595* cleaned up programs in test/ directory.
7596* fixed wbkgdset() macro.
7597* modified getstr() to stop it from advancing cursor in noecho mode.
7598* modified linux terminfo entry to work with the latest kernel to get
7599  the correct alternate character set.
7600* also added a linux-mono entry for those running on monochrome screens.
7601* changed initscr() so that it behaves like the man page says it does.
7602  this fixes the problem with programs in test/ crashing with SIGSEV if
7603  a terminal is undefined.
7604* modified addch() to avoid using any term.h #define's
7605* removed duplicate tgoto() in lib_tparm.c
7606* modified dump_entry.c so that infocmp deals correctly with ',' in acsc
7607* modified delwin() to correctly handle deleting subwindows.
7608* fixed Makefile.dist to stop installing an empty curses.h
7609* fixed a couple of out-of-date notes in man pages.
7610
7611### ncurses 1.8.5 -> 1.8.6
7612* Implemented wbkgd(), bkgd(), bkgdset(), and wbkgdset().
7613* The handling of attributes has been improved and now does not turn off color
7614  if other attributes are turned off.
7615* scrolling code is improved. Scrolling in subwindows is still broken.
7616* Fixes to several bugs that manifest them on platforms other than Linux.
7617* The default to meta now depends on the status of the terminal when ncurses
7618  is started.
7619* The interface to the tracing facility has changed.  Instead of the pair of
7620  functions traceon() and traceoff(), there is just one function trace() which
7621  takes a trace mask argument.  The trace masks, defined in curses.h, are
7622  as follows:
7623
7624	#define TRACE_DISABLE   0x00    /* turn off tracing */
7625	#define TRACE_ORDINARY  0x01    /* ordinary trace mode */
7626	#define TRACE_CHARPUT   0x02    /* also trace all character outputs */
7627	#define TRACE_MAXIMUM   0x0f    /* maximum trace level */
7628
7629  More trace masks may be added, or these may be changed, in future releases.
7630* The pad code has been improved and the pad test code in test/ncurses.c has
7631  been improved.
7632* The prototype ansi entry has been changed to work with a wider variety
7633  of emulators.
7634* Fix to the prototype ansi entry that enables it to work with PC emulators
7635  that treat trailing ";m" in a highlight sequence as ";0m"; this doesn't
7636  break operation with any emulators.
7637* There are now working infocmp, captoinfo, tput, and tclear utilities.
7638* tic can now compile entries in termcap syntax.
7639* Core-dump bug in pnoutrefresh fixed.
7640* We now recognize and compile all the nonstandard capabilities in Ross
7641  Ridge's mytinfo package (rendering it obsolete).
7642* General cleanup and documentation improvements.
7643* Fixes and additions to the installation-documentation files.
7644* Take cursor to normal mode on endwin.
7645
7646### ncurses 1.8.4 -> 1.8.5
7647* serious bugs in updating screen which caused erratic non-display,
7648  fixed.
7649* fixed initialization for getch() related variable which cause
7650  unpredictable results.
7651* fixed another doupdate bug which only appeared if you have
7652  parm_char.
7653* implemented redrawln() and redrawwin().
7654* implemented winsnstr() and related functions.
7655* cleaned up insertln() and deleteln() and implemented (w)insdeln().
7656* changed Makefile.dist so that installation of man pages will
7657  take note of the terminfo directory.
7658* fixed Configure (removed the mysterious 'X').
7659* Eric S. Raymond fixed the script.* files so that they work with
7660  stock awk.
7661
7662#### ncurses 1.8.3 -> 1.8.4 #### ####
7663* fixed bug in refreshing the screen after return from shell_mode.
7664  There are still problems but they don't manifest themselves on
7665  my machine (Linux 0.99.14f).
7666* added wgetnstr() and modified things accordingly.
7667* fixed the script.src script.test to work with awk not just gawk.
7668* Configure can now take an argument of the target system.
7669* added test/ncurses.c which replaces several other programs and
7670  performs more testing.
7671[Thanks to Eric S Raymond for the last 4]
7672* more fixes to lib_overlay.c and added test/over.c to illustrate
7673  how it works.
7674* fixed ungetch() to take int instead of ch.
7675* fixes to cure wgetch() if flushinp() is called.
7676
7677One note I forgot to mention in 1.8.3 is that tracing is off by
7678default starting in the version. If you want tracing output, put
7679traceon(); in your code and link with -ldcurses.
7680
7681#### ncurses 1.8.2 -> ncurses 1.8.3 #### ####
7682MAJOR CHANGES:
76831) The order of capabilities has been changed in order to achieve
7684binary compatibility with SVR4 terminfo database. This has the
7685unfortunate effect of breaking application currently linked with
7686ncurses. To ensure correct behavior, recompile all such programs.
7687Most programs using color or newer capabilities will break, others
7688will probably continue to work ok.
7689
76902) Pavel Curtis has renounced his copyright to the public domain.
7691This means that his original sources (posted to comp.sources.unix,
7692volume 1) are now in the public domain.  The current sources are
7693NOT in the public domain, they are copyrighted by me.  I'm
7694entertaining ideas on what the new terms ncurses is released under.
7695
76963) Eric S. Raymond has supplied a complete set of man pages for
7697ncurses in ?roff format. They will eventually replace most of the
7698current docs. Both sets are included in this release.
7699
7700Other changes and notes from 1.8.2 include:
7701* SIGSEGV during scrolling no longer occurs.
7702* Other problems with scrolling and use of idl have been corrected.
7703* lib_getch.c has been re-written and should perform flawlessly.
7704  please use test/getch.c and any other programs to test this.
7705* ripoffline() is implemented (Thanks to Eric) and slk_ functions
7706  changed accordingly.
7707* I've added support for terminals that scroll if you write in the
7708  bottom-right corner.
7709* fixed more bugs in pads code. If anybody has a program that uses
7710  pads I'd love a copy.
7711* correct handling for terminal with back_color_erase capability
7712  (such as Linux console, and most PC terminals)
7713* ^Z handling apparently didn't work (I should never trust code
7714  sent me to me without extensive testing). It now seems to be
7715  fixed. Let me know if you have problems.
7716* I've added support for Apollo and NeXT, but it may still be
7717  incomplete, especially when dealing with the lack of POSIX
7718  features.
7719* scrolling should be more efficient on terminals with idl
7720  capabilities. Please see src/lib_scroll.c for more notes.
7721* The line drawing routines were offset by 1 at both ends. This
7722  is now fixed.
7723* added a few missing prototypes and macros (e.g. setterm())
7724* fixed code in src/lib_overlay.c which used to crash.
7725* added a few more programs in test/ The ones from the PDCurses
7726  package are useful, especially if you have SVR4 proper. I'm
7727  interested in the results you get on such a systems (Eric? ;-).
7728  They already exposed certain bugs in ncurses.
7729* See src/README for porting notes.
7730* The C++ code should really replace ncurses.h instead of working
7731  around it. It should avoid name-space clashes with nterm.h (use
7732  rows instead of lines, etc.)
7733* The C++ should compile ok. I've added explicit rules to the
7734  Makefile because no C++ defaults are documented on the suns.
7735* The docs say that echo() and nocbreak() are mutually exclusive.
7736  At the moment ncurses will switch to cbreak() if the case above
7737  occurs. Should it continue to do so? How about echo() and noraw()?
7738* PDCurses seem to assume that wclear() will use current attribute
7739  when clearing the screen. According to Eric this is not the case
7740  with SVR4.
7741* I have discovered, to my chagrin, SunOS 4.x (and probably other systems)
7742  * doesn't have vsscanf and God knows what else!  I've will do a vsscanf().
7743* I've also found out that the src/script.* rely on gawk and will not
7744  work with stock awk or even with nawk. Any changes are welcome.
7745* Linux is more tolerant of NULL dereferences than most systems. This
7746  fact was exposed by hanoi.
7747* ncurses still seems inefficient in drawing the screen on a serial
7748  link between Linux and suns. The padding may be the culprit.
7749* There seems to be one lingering problem with doupdate() after shelling
7750  out. Despite the fact the it is sending out the correct information
7751  to the terminal, nothing takes effect until you press ^L or another
7752  refresh takes place. And yes, output does get flushed.
7753
7754#### ncurses 1.8.1 -> ncurses 1.8.2 #### Nov 28, 1993 ####
7755
7756* added support for SVR4 and BSDI's BSD/386.
7757* major update and fix to scrolling routine.
7758* MORE fixes to stuff in lib_getch.c.
7759* cleaned-up configuration options and can now generate
7760	Config.* files through an awk script.
7761* changed setupterm() so it can be called more than once,
7762	add added set_curterm(), del_curterm().
7763* a few minor cleanups.
7764* added more prototypes in curses.h
7765
7766#### ncurses 1.8 -> ncurses 1.8.1 #### Nov 4, 1993 ####
7767
7768* added support for NeXTStep 3.0
7769* added termcap emulation (not well tested).
7770* more complete C++ interface to ncurses.
7771* fixed overlay(), overwrite(), and added copywin().
7772* a couple of bug fixes.
7773* a few code cleanups.
7774
7775#### ncurses 0.7.2/0.7.3 -> ncurses 1.8 #### Aug 31, 1993 ####
7776
7777* The annoying message "can't open file." was due to missing
7778  terminfo entry for the used terminal. It has now been
7779  replaced by a hopefully more helpful message.
7780* Problems with running on serial lines are now fixed.
7781* Added configuration files for SunOS, Linux, HP/UX, Ultrix,
7782  386bsd/BSDI (if you have others send'em to me)
7783* Cleaner Makefile.
7784* The documentation in manual.doc is now more uptodate.
7785* update optimization and support for hp terminals, and 386bsd
7786  console driver(s).
7787* mvcur optimization for terminals without cursor addressing
7788  (doesn't work on Linux)
7789* if cursor moved since last update, getch() will refresh the
7790  screen before working.
7791* getch() & alarm() can now live together. in 0.7.3 a signal
7792  interrupted getch() (bug or feature?) now the getch is
7793  restarted.
7794* scanw() et all were sick, now fixed.
7795* support for 8-bit input (use meta()).
7796* added default screen size to all terminfos.
7797* added c++ Ncursesw class.
7798* several minor bug fixes.
7799
7800#### ncurses 0.7.2 -> ncurses 0.7.3 #### May 27, 1993 ####
7801
7802* Config file to cope with different platforms (386BSD, BSDI, Ultrix, SunOS)
7803* more fixes to lib_getch.c
7804* changes related to Config
7805
7806#### ncurses 0.7 -> ncurses 0.7.2 #### May 22, 1993 ####
7807
7808* docs updated slightly (color usage is now documented).
7809* yet another fix for getch(), this one fixes problems with ESC being swallowed
7810  if another character is typed before the 1 second timeout.
7811* Hopefully, addstr() and addch() are 8-bit clean.
7812* fixed lib_tparm.c to use stdarg.h (should run on suns now)
7813* order of capabilities changed to reflect that specified in SYSV
7814  this will allow for binary-compatibility with existing terminfo dbs.
7815* added halfdelay()
7816* fixed problems with asc_init()
7817* added A_PROTECT and A_INVIS
7818* cleaned up vidputs()
7819* general cleanup of the code
7820* more attention to portability to other systems
7821* added terminfos for hp70092 (wont work until changes to lib_update.c are
7822  made) and 386BSD pcvt drivers.
7823
7824Thanks to Hellmuth Michaelis for his help.
7825optimization code is slated for the next major release, stay tuned!
7826
7827#### ncurses 0.6/0.61 -> ncurses 0.7 #### April 1, 1993
7828Please note that the next release will be called 1.8. If you want to know about
7829the rationale drop me a line.
7830
7831Included are several test programs in test/.
7832I've split up the panels library, reversi, tetris, sokoban. They are now
7833available separately from netcom.com:pub/zmbenhal/
7834
7835* color and ACS support is now fully compatible with SYSV at the terminfo
7836  level.
7837* Capabilities now includes as many SYSV caps I could find.
7838* tigetflag,tigetnum,tigetstr functions added.
7839* boolnames, boolfnames, boolcodes numnames, numfnames, numcodes,
7840  strnames, strfnames, strcodes arrays are now added.

7846* included fixes from 0.6.1
7847* added a few more missing functions.
7848* fixed a couple of minor bugs.
7849* updated docs JUST a little (still miles behind in documenting the newer
7850	features).
7851
7852#### ncurses 0.6 -> ncurses 0.61 ####
7853

7859
78604) fixed a bug in lib_getch.c. if it didn't recognize a sequence it would
7861	simply return the last character in the sequence. The correct
7862	behavior is to return the entire sequence one character at a time.
7863
7864#### ncurses0.5 -> ncurses0.6 #### March 1, 1993 ####
7865* removed _numchngd from struct _win_st and made appropriate changes.

7909* added a handler to cleanup after SIGSEGV (hopefully never needed).
7910* changed SRCDIR from /etc/term to /usr/lib/terminfo.
7911* renamed compile/dump to tic/untic.
7912* New scrolling code.
7913* fixed bug that reversed the sense of nl() and nonl().
