This is a log of changes that ncurses has gone through since Zeyd started
Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions;
it is not possible to add this information.
+20141206
+ + updated ".map" files so that each symbol that may be shared across
+ the different library configurations has the same label. Some
+ review is needed to ensure these are really compatible.
+ + modify MKlib_gen.sh to work around change in development version of
+ gcc introduced here:
+ https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-06/msg02185.html
+ https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-07/msg00236.html
+ (reports by Marcus Shawcroft, Maohui Lei).
+ + improved configure macro CF_SUBDIR_PATH, from lynx changes.
+
+20141129
+ + improved ".map" files by generating them with a script that builds
+ ncurses with several related configurations and merges the results.
+ A further refinement is planned, to make the tic- and tinfo-library
+ symbols use the same versions across each of the four configurations
+ which are represented (reports by Sven Joachim, Werner Fink).
+
+20141115
+ + improve description of limits for color values and color pairs in
+ curs_color.3x (prompted by patch by Tim van der Molen).
+ + add VERSION file, using first field in that to record the ABI version
+ used for configure --with-libtool --disable-libtool-version
+ + add configure options for applying the ".map" and ".sym" files to
+ the ncurses, form, menu and panel libraries.
+ + add ".map" and ".sym" files to show exported symbols, e.g., for
+ symbol-versioning.
+
+20141101
+ + improve strict compiler-warnings by adding a cast in TRACE_RETURN
+ and making a new TRACE_RETURN1 macro for cases where the cast does
+ not apply.
+
+20141025
+ + in-progress changes to integrate the win32 console driver with the
+ msys2 configuration.
+
+20141018
+ + reviewed terminology 0.6.1, add function key definitions. None of
+ the vt100-compatibility issues were improved -TD
+ + improve infocmp conversion of extended capabilities to termcap by
+ correcting the limit check against parametrized[], as well as filling
+ in a check if the string happens to have parameters, e.g., "xm"
+ in recent changes.
+ + add check for zero/negative dimensions for resizeterm and resize_term
+ (report by Mike Gran).
+
20141011
+ add experimental support for xterm's 1005 mouse mode, to use in a
demonstration of its limitations.
