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.
+20180908
+ + document --with-pcre2 configure option in INSTALL.
+ + improve workaround for special case in PutAttrChar() where a cell is
+ marked as alternate-character set, to handle a case where the
+ character in the cell does not correspond to any of the ASCII
+ fallbacks (report by Leon Winter, cf: 20180505).
+ + amend change to form library which attempted to avoid unnecessary
+ update of cursor position in non-public fields, to simply disable
+ output in this case (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20180414).
+ + improve check for LINE_MAX runtime limit, to accommodate broken
+ implementations of sysconf().
+
+20180901
+ + improve manual page for wgetnstr, giving background for the length
+ parameter.
+ + define a limit for wgetnstr, wgetn_wstr when length is negative or
+ "too large".
+ + update configure script to autoconf 2.52.20180819 (Debian #887390).
+
+20180825
+ + add a section to tput manual page clarifying how it determines the
+ terminal size (prompted by discussion with Grant Jenks).
+ + add "--disable-relink" to rpm test-packages, for consistency with the
+ deb test-packages.
+ + split spec-file into ncurses6.spec and ncursest6.spec to work around
+ toolset breakage in Fedora 28.
+ + drop mention of "--disable-touching", which was not in the final
+ 20180818 updates.
+
+20180818
+ + build-fix for PDCurses with ncurses-examples.
+ + improved CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS.
+ + modify configure scripts to reduce relinking/ranlib during library
+ install (Debian #903790):
+ + use "install -p" when available, to avoid need for ranlib of
+ static libraries.
+ + modify scripts which use "--disable-relink" to add a 1-second
+ sleep to work around tools which use whole-second timestamps, e.g.,
+ in utime() rather than the actual file system resolution.
+
+20180804
+ + improve logic for clear with E3 extension, in case the terminal
+ scrolls content onto its saved-lines before actually clearing
+ the display, by clearing the saved-lines after clearing the
+ display (report/patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+
+20180728
+ + improve documentation regarding feature-test macros in curses.h
+ + improve documentation regarding the virtual and physical screens.
+ + formatting fixes for manpages, regenerate man-html documentation.

+ + remove ansi+rep mis-added to interix in 2018-02-23 -TD
+
+20180714
+ + add enum, regex examples to test/demo_forms
+ + add configure check for pcre-posix library to help with MinGW port.
+
+20180707
+ + build-fixes for gcc8.
+ + correct order of WINDOW._ttytype versus WINDOW._windowlist in
+ report_offsets.

+ empty (Debian #902630).
