+20110625
+ + improve cleanup() function in lib_tstp.c, using _exit() rather than
+ exit() and checking for SIGTERM rather than SIGQUIT (prompted by
+ comments forwarded by Nicholas Marriott).
+ + reduce name pollution from term.h, moving fallback #define's for
+ tcgetattr(), etc., to new private header nc_termios.h (report by
+ Sergio NNX).
+ + two minor fixes for tracing (patch by Vassili Courzakis).
+ + improve trace initialization by starting it in use_env() and
+ ripoffline().
+ + review old email, add details for some changelog entries.
+
+20110611
+ + update minix entry to minix 3.2 (Thomas Cort).
+ + fix a strict compiler warning in change to wattr_get (cf: 20110528).
+
+20110604
+ + fixes for MirBSD port:
+ + set default prefix to /usr.
+ + add support for shared libraries in configure script.
+ + use S_ISREG and S_ISDIR consistently, with fallback definitions.
+ + add a few more checks based on ncurses/link_test.
+ + modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle sp-funcs renaming of NCURSES_OUTC type.
+
+20110528
+ + add case to CF_SHARED_OPTS for Interix (patch by Markus Duft).
+ + used ncurses/link_test to check for behavior when the terminal has
+ not been initialized and when an application passes null pointers
+ to the library. Added checks to cover this (prompted by Redhat
+ #707344).
+ + modify MKlib_gen.sh to make its main() function call each function
+ with zero parameters, to help find inconsistent checking for null
+ pointers, etc.
+
+20110521
+ + fix warnings from clang 2.7 "--analyze"
+
+20110514
+ + compiler-warning fixes in panel and progs.
+ + modify CF_PKG_CONFIG macro, from changes to tin -TD
+ + modify CF_CURSES_FUNCS configure macro, used in test directory
+ configure script:
+ + work around (non-optimizer) bug in gcc 4.2.1 which caused
+ test-expression to be omitted from executable.
+ + force the linker to see a link-time expression of a symbol, to
+ help work around weak-symbol issues.
+
+20110507
+ + update discussion of MKfallback.sh script in INSTALL; normally the
+ script is used automatically via the configured makefiles. However
+ there are still occasions when it might be used directly by packagers
+ (report by Gunter Schaffler).
+ + modify misc/ncurses-config.in to omit the "-L" option from the
+ "--libs" output if the library directory is /usr/lib.
+ + change order of tests for curses.h versus ncurses.h headers in the

+ (report by Joachim Schmitz).
+
+20110430

+ is not used when building a static library (report by Nicolas
+ Boulenguez):
+ + Ada95 build-fix for big-endian architectures such as sparc. This
+ undoes one of the fixes from 20110319, which added an "Unused" member
+ to representation clauses, replacing that with pragmas to suppress
+ warnings about unused bits (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez):
+
+20110423

+ assume_default_colors() has been called (Debian #337095).
+ + modify test/background.c, adding commmand-line options to demonstrate
+ assume_default_colors() and use_default_colors().
+
+20110416
+ + modify configure script/source-code to only define _POSIX_SOURCE if
+ the checks for sigaction and/or termios fail, and if _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+ and _XOPEN_SOURCE are undefined (report by Valentin Ochs).
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20110409
+ + fixes to build c++ binding with clang 3.0 (patch by Alexander

+ + add "--with-curses-colr" and "--with-curses-5lib" options to the
+ test/configure script to address testing with very old machines.

+20110404 5.9 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+
+20110402
+ + various build-fixes for the rpm/dpkg scripts.
+ + add "--enable-rpath-link" option to Ada95/configure, to allow
+ packages to suppress the rpath feature which is normally used for
+ the in-tree build of sample programs.
+ + corrected definition of libdir variable in Ada95/src/Makefile.in,
+ needed for rpm script.
+ + add "--with-shared" option to Ada95/configure script, to allow
+ making the C-language parts of the binding use appropriate compiler
+ options if building a shared library with gnat.
+
+20110329
+ > portability fixes for Ada95 binding:
+ + add configure check to ensure that SIGINT works with gnat. This is
+ needed for the "rain" sample program. If SIGINT does not work, omit
+ that sample program.

+ + add ncurses_compat.c, to supply functions used in the Ada95 binding
+ which were added in 5.7 and later.

+ upon GNU sed.
+
+20110326
+ + add special check in Ada95/configure script for ncurses6 reentrant
+ code.

+ builds.
+ + update test/configure macros CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and
+ CF_X_ATHENA_LIBS.

+ libraries, i.e., collections of .ali files.
+ + make all dereferences in Ada95 samples explicit.
+ + fix typo in comment in lib_add_wch.c (patch by Petr Pavlu).
+ + add configure check for, ifdef's for math.h which is in a separate
+ package on Solaris and potentially not installed (report by Petr
+ Pavlu).

+ + improve type-checking in Ada95 by eliminating a few warning-suppress
+ pragmas.
+ + suppress unreferenced warnings.
+ + make all dereferences in binding explicit.
+
+20110319
+ + regen Ada html documentation.

+ --disable-overwrite option was used, so that the subdirectory include
+ is listed first.
+ + modify the make-tar.sh scripts to add a MANIFEST and NEWS file.
+ + modify configure script to provide value for HTML_DIR in
+ Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, which depends on whether the Ada95 binding is
+ distributed separately (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ + modify configure script to add -g and/or -O3 to ADAFLAGS if the
+ CFLAGS for the build has these options.
+ + amend change from 20070324, to not add 1 to the result of getmaxx
+ and getmaxy in the Ada binding (report by Nicolas Boulenguez for
+ thread in comp.lang.ada).
+ + build-fix Ada95/samples for gnat 4.5
+ + spelling fixes for Ada95/samples/explain.txt
+ > fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
+ + add item in Trace_Attribute_Set corresponding to TRACE_ATTRS.
+ + add workaround for binding to set_field_type(), which uses varargs.
+ The original binding from 990220 relied on the prevalent
+ implementation of varargs which did not support or need va_copy().
+ + add dependency on gen/Makefile.in needed for *-panels.ads
+ + add Library_Options to library.gpr
+ + add Languages to library.gpr, for gprbuild
+
+20110307
+ + revert changes to limit-checks from 20110122 (Debian #616711).
+ > minor type-cleanup of Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
+ + corrected a minor sign error in a field of Low_Level_Field_Type, to
+ conform to form.h.
+ + replaced C_Int by Curses_Bool as return type for some callbacks, see
+ fieldtype(3FORM).
+ + modify samples/sample-explain.adb to provide explicit message when
+ explain.txt is not found.
+
+20110305
+ + improve makefiles for Ada95 tree (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ + fix an off-by-one error in _nc_slk_initialize() from 20100605 fixes
+ for compiler warnings (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ + modify Ada95/gen/gen.c to declare unused bits in generated layouts,
+ needed to compile when chtype is 64-bits using gnat 4.4.5
+

+ a new install of hashed database.
+ + fix typo in Ada95/mk-1st.awk which causes error with original awk.
+
+20110220
+ + configure script rpath fixes from xterm #269.
+ + workaround for cygwin's non-functional features.h, to force ncurses'
+ configure script to define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED when building
+ wide-character configuration.
+ + build-fix in run_tic.sh for OS/2 EMX install
+ + add cons25-debian entry (patch by Brian M Carlson, Debian #607662).
+
+20110212
+ + regenerated html manpages.
+ + use _tracef() in show_where() function of tic, to work correctly with
+ special case of trace configuration.
+
+20110205
+ + add xterm-utf8 entry as a demo of the U8 feature -TD
+ + add U8 feature to denote entries for terminal emulators which do not
+ support VT100 SI/SO when processing UTF-8 encoding -TD
+ + improve the NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS feature by adding a check for an
+ extended terminfo capability U8 (prompted by mailing list
+ discussion).
+
+20110122
+ + start documenting interface changes for upcoming 5.8 release.
