+
+20170107
+ + amend changes for tput to reset tty modes to "sane" if the program
+ is run as "reset", like tset. Likewise, ensure that tset sends

+ + improve cross-references in manual pages for often used functions
+ + move SCREEN field for use_tioctl() data before the ncursesw fields,

+
+20161022
+ + modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the

+
+20161015
+ + amend internal use of tputs to consistently use the number of lines

+ "bsd" library and its associated "<bsd/string.h>" header.
+
+20160903
+ + correct 20100515 change for weak signals versus sigprocmask (report
+ by Rich Coe).
+ + modify misc/Makefile.in to work around OpenBSD "make" which unlike
+ all other versions of "make" does not recognize continuation lines
+ of comments.
+ + amend the last change to CF_C_ENV_FLAGS to move only the
+ preprocessor, optimization and warning flags to CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS,
+ leaving the residue in CC. That happens to work for gcc's various
+ "model" options, but may require tuning for other compilers (report
+ by Sven Joachim).
+
+20160827
+ + add "v" menu entry to test/ncurses.c to show baudrate and other
+ values.
+ + add "newer" baudrate symbols from Linux and FreeBSD to progs/tset.c,
+ lib_baudrate.c
+ + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro:
+ + add "uclinux" to case for "linux" (patch by Yann E. Morin)
+ + modify _GNU_SOURCE for cygwin headers, tested with cygwin 2.3, 2.5
+ (patch by Corinna Vinschen, from changes to tin).
+ + improve CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS macro to allow for compiler wrappers such
+ as "ccache" (report by Enrico Scholz).
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
+20160820
+ + update tput manual page to reflect changes to manipulate terminal
+ modes by sharing functions with tset.
+ + add the terminal-mode parts of "reset" (aka tset) to the "tput reset"
+ command, making the two almost the same except for window-size.
+ + adapt logic used in dialog "--keep-tite" option for test/filter.c as
+ "-a" option. When set, test/filter attempts to suppress the
+ alternate screen.
+ + correct a typo in interix entry -TD
+
+20160813
+ + add a dependency upon generated-sources in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to
+ handle a case of "configure && make install".

+ in sed (Debian #818067).
+
+20160806
+ + improve CF_GNU_SOURCE configure macro to optionally define
+ _DEFAULT_SOURCE work around a nuisance in recent glibc releases.
+ + move the terminfo-specific parts of tput's "reset" function into
+ the shared reset_cmd.c, making the two forms of reset use the same
+ strings.
+ + split-out the terminal initialization functions from tset as
+ progs/reset_cmd.c, as part of changes to merge the reset-feature
+ with tput.
+
+20160730
+ + change tset's initialization to allow it to get settings from the

+ output or error are redirected.
+ + improve discussion of history and portability for tset/reset/tput
+ manual pages.
+
+20160723

+
+20160709
+ + work around Debian's antique/unmaintained version of mawk when

+
+20160702
+ + improve test/list_keys.c, using $TERM if no parameters areg given.
+
+20160625
+ + build-fixes for ncurses "test_progs" rule.
+ + amend change to CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS in 20160521 to make multilib build
+ work (report by Sven Joachim).
+
+20160618
+ + build-fixes for ncurses-examples with NetBSD curses.
+ + improve test/list_keys.c, fixing column-widths and sorting the list
+ to make it more readable.
+
+20160611
+ + revise fix for Debian #805618 (report by Vlado Potisk, cf: 20151128).
+ + modify test/ncurses.c a/A screens to make exiting on an escape
+ character depend on the start of keypad and timeout modes, to allow
+ better testing of function-keys.
+ + modify rs1 for xterm-16color, xterm-88color and xterm-256color to
+ reset palette using "oc" string as in linux -TD
+ + use ANSI reply for u8 in xterm-new, to reflect vt220-style responses
+ that could be returned -TD
+ + added a few capabilities fixed in recent vte -TD
+
+20160604
+ + correct logic for -f option in test/demo_terminfo.c
+ + add test/list_keys.c
+
+20160528
+ + further workaround for PIE/PIC breakage which causes gpm to not link.
+ + fix most cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses library.
+
+20160521
+ + improved manual page description of tset/reset versus window-size.
+ + fixes to work with a slightly broken compiler configuration which
+ cannot compile "Hello World!" without adding compiler options
+ (report by Ola x Nilsson):
+ + pass appropriate compiler options to the CF_PROG_CC_C_O macro.
+ + when separating compiler and options in CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS, ensure
+ that all options are split-off into CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS
+ + restore some -I options removed in 20140726 because they appeared
+ to be redundant. In fact, they are needed for a compiler that
+ cannot combine -c and -o options.
+
+20160514
+ + regenerate HTML manpages.
+ + improve manual pages for wgetch and wget_wch to point out that they
+ might return values without names in curses.h (Debian #822426).
+ + make linux3.0 entry the default linux entry (Debian #823658) -TD
+ + modify linux2.6 entry to improve line-drawing so that the linux3.0
+ entry can be used in non-UTF-8 mode -TD
+ + document return value of use_extended_names (report by Mike Gran).
+
+20160507
+ + amend change to _nc_do_color to restore the early return for the
+ special case used in _nc_screen_wrap (report by Dick Streefland,
+ cf: 20151017).
+ + modify test/ncurses.c:
+ + check return-value of putwin
+ + correct ifdef which made the 'g' test's legend not reflect changes
+ to keypad- and scroll-modes.
+ + correct return-value of extended putwin (report by Mike Gran).
+
+20160423
+ + modify test/ncurses.c 'd' edit-color menu to optionally read xterm

+
+20160416
+ + add workaround in configure script for inept transition to PIE vs
+ PIC builds documented in
+ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Harden_All_Packages
+ + add "reset" to list of programs whose names might change in manpages
+ due to program-transformation configure options.
+ + drop long-obsolete "-n" option from tset.
+
+20160409
+ + modify test/blue.c to use Unicode values for card-glyphs when
+ available, as well as improving the check for CP437 and CP850.
+
+20160402
+ + regenerate HTML manpages.
+ + improve manual pages for utilities with respect to POSIX versus
+ X/Open Curses.
+
+20160326
+ + regenerate HTML manpages.
+ + improve test/demo_menus.c, allowing mouse-click on the menu-headers
+ to switch the active menu. This requires a new extension option
+ O_MOUSE_MENU to tell the menu driver to put mouse events which do not
+ apply to the active menu back into the queue so that the application
+ can handle the event.
+
+20160319
+ + improve description of tgoto parameters (report by Steffen Nurpmeso).
+ + amend workaround for Solaris line-drawing to restore a special case
+ that maps Unicode line-drawing characters into the acsc string for
+ non-Unicode locales (Debian #816888).
+
+20160312
+ + modified test/filter.c to illustrate an alternative to getnstr, that
+ polls for input while updating a clock on the right margin as well
+ as responding to window size-changes.
+
