+ + drop mkdirs.sh, use "mkdir -p".
+ + add configure option --disable-libtool-version, to use the

+ + modify configure macro CF_HEADER_PATH to not look for variations in
+ the predefined include directories.

+ (default) and explicit paths, where we can find the entrypoint in the
+ given library.
+ + add check if Gpm_Open() returns a -2, e.g., for "xterm". This is
+ normally suppressed but can be overridden using $NCURSES_GPM_TERMS.
+ Ensure that Gpm_Close() is called in this case.
+
+20100320
+ + rename atari and st52 terminfo entries to atari-old, st52-old, use
+ newer entries from FreeMiNT by Guido Flohr (from patch/report by Alan

+
+20100313
+ + modify install-rule for manpages so that *-config manpages will

+
+20100306
+ + generate manpages for the *-config scripts, adapted from help2man
+ (suggested by Sven Joachim).

+
+20091227
+ + change order of lookup in progs/tput.c, looking for terminfo data
+ first. This fixes a confusion between termcap "sg" and terminfo
+ "sgr" or "sgr0", originally from 990123 changes, but exposed by

+ + modify mk-1st.awk to allow tinfo library to be built when term-driver
+ is enabled.
+ + add error-check to configure script to ensure that sp-funcs is

+ this.
+
+20091121
+ + fix case where progs/tput is used while sp-funcs is configure; this
+ requires save/restore of out-character function from _nc_prescreen
+ rather than the SCREEN structure (report by Charles Wilson).

+ that module since 20090711 is in libtinfo.
+ + add configure option --enable-term-driver, to allow compiling with
+ terminal-driver. That is used in MinGW port, and (being somewhat
+ more complicated) is an experimental alternative to the conventional

+ test/test_addstr.c
+ test/test_addwstr.c
+ test/test_addchstr.c
+ test/test_add_wchstr.c
+ + correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when

+ did not update the cursor position (report by Ciprian Craciun).
+
+20090906
+ + fix typo s/is_timeout/is_notimeout/ which made "man is_notimeout" not
+ work.
+ + add null-pointer checks to other opaque-functions.

+ help with builds on non-Unix platforms such as OS/2 EMX.
+ + modify scripting for misc/run_tic.sh to test configure script's
+ $cross_compiling variable directly rather than comparing host/build
+ compiler names (prompted by comment in GenToo #249363).
+ + fix configure script option --with-database, which was coded as an
+ enable-type switch.
+ + build-fixes for --srcdir (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
+
+20090808
+ + separate _nc_find_entry() and _nc_find_type_entry() from

+20090801
+ + improve discussion in INSTALL for use of system's tic/infocmp for
+ cross-compiling and building fallbacks.
+ + modify test/demo_termcap.c to correspond better to options in
+ test/demo_terminfo.c
+ + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+ + fix logic for 'V' in test/ncurses.c tests f/F.
+
+20090728
+ + correct logic in tigetnum(), which caused tput program to treat all
+ string capabilities as numeric (report by Rajeev V Pillai,
+ cf: 20090711).

+
+20090718
+ + fix a null-pointer check in _nc_format_slks() in lib_slk.c, from
+ 20070704 changes.
+ + modify _nc_find_type_entry() to use hashing.
+ + make CCHARW_MAX value configurable, noting that changing this would
+ change the size of cchar_t, and would be ABI-incompatible.
+ + modify test-programs, e.g,. test/view.c, to address subtle
+ differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX getcchar() return
+ values.
+ + modify length returned by getcchar() to count the trailing null
+ which is documented in X/Open (cf: 20020427).
+ + fixes for test programs to build/work on HPUX and AIX, etc.
+
+20090711
+ + improve performance of tigetstr, etc., by using hashing code from tic.
+ + minor fixes for memory-leak checking.
+ + add test/demo_terminfo, for comparison with demo_termcap
+
+20090704
+ + remove wide-character checks from unctrl() (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
+ + revise wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to eliminate dependency on
+ unctrl().

+ + update llib-lncurses[wt] to use sp-funcs.
+ + various code-fixes to build/work with --disable-macros configure
+ option.
+ + add several new files from Juergen Pfeifer which will be used when
+ integration of "sp-funcs" is complete. This includes a port to
+ MinGW.
+

+ + move definition for NCURSES_WRAPPED_VAR back to ncurses_dll.h, to
+ make includes of term.h without curses.h work (report by "Nix").
