ncurses 6.4 - patch 20240210 + compiler-warning fixes, while investigating an optimizer bug in "gcc (MacPorts gcc13 13.2.0_4+stdlib_flag) 13.2.0" which results in only the first byte of a multibyte character being printed to the screen.

ncurses 6.3 - patch 20221015 + fix another memory-leak in tic. + update install-sh script from autoconf, to fix install problem for Ada95 with Arch; as noted in https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2018-09/msg00005.html there are unaddressed issues. + update CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, adding GNU libc suffixes for abi64, abin32, x32 (report by Sven Joachim): + correct ifdef's for _nc_set_read_thread() (patch by Mikhail Korolev, cf: 20220813).
ncurses 6.3 - patch 20220924 + modify configure macro CF_BUILD_CC to check if the build-compiler works, rather than that it is different from the cross-compiler, e.g., to accommodate a compiler which can be used for either purpose with different flags (report by Mikhail Korolev). + fix another memory-leak in tic. + correct change for cppcheck in menu library (report/analysis by "tuxway", cf: 20220903). + update config.guess, config.sub
ncurses 6.3 - patch 20220917 + reduce memory-leak in tic by separating allocations for struct entry from TERMTYPE2 (cf: 20220430). + improve interaction between tic -v option and NCURSES_TRACE, by processing the latter only when -v option does not set _nc_tracing. + modify curses_trace() to show the trace-mask as symbols, e.g., TRACE_ORDINARY, DEBUG_LEVEL(3).
ncurses 6.3 - patch 20220903 + modify verbose-option of infocmp, tic, toe to enable debug-tracing if that is configured.

ncurses 6.3 - patch 20220423 + in-progress work on invalid_merge(), disable it (cf: 20220402). + fix memory leak in _nc_tic_dir() when called from _nc_set_writedir(). + fix memory leak in tic when "-c" option is used.
ncurses 6.3 - patch 20220402 + amend extended_captype(), returning CANCEL if a string is explicitly cancelled. + make description-fields distinct -TD
ncurses 6.2 - patch 20210508 + modify tputs' error check to allow it to be used without first calling tgetent or setupterm, noting that terminfo initialization is requires for supporting the terminfo delay feature (report by Sebastiano Vigna). + fix several warnings from clang --analyze + add null-pointer check in comp_parse.c, when a "use=" clause refers to a nonexisting terminal description (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar, cf: 20210227).
ncurses 6.2 - patch 20210227 + modify tic/infocmp to eliminate unnecessary "\" to escape ":" in terminfo format. + add check in tic for duplicate "use=" clauses.
ncurses 6.2 - patch 20200229 + modify CF_NCURSES_CONFIG to work around xcode's c99 "-W" option, which conflicts with conventional use for passing linker options. > fixes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2 (patches by "Maarten Anonymous"): + check for pcre2posix.h instead of pcre2-posix.h + add case in CF_SHARED_OPTS for msys2 + msvc + add fallback definition for STDIN_FILENO in progs.priv.h + modify win_driver.c to use _alloca() rather than gcc's variable length array feature. + add NCURSES_IMPEXP to ncurses wrapped-variable declarations + remove NCURSES_IMPEXP from class variables in c++/cursslk.h + remove fallback prototype for exit() from c++/etip.h.in + use configured check for <sys/time.h> in a couple of places + conditionally include winsock.h in ncurses/win32con/gettimeofday.c, because Visual Studio needs this for the timestruct declaration. + adjust syntax in a couple of files using the NCURSES_API symbol.
ncurses 6.2 - patch 20200212 + update release notes + minor build-fixes, mostly to test-package scripts + modify check for sizeof(wchar_t) to ensure it gives useful result when cross-compiling. + drop assumption in configure script that Cygwin's linker is broken. + define NCURSES_BROKEN_LINKER if the broken-linker feature is used, to simplify configure-checks for ncurses-examples. + reassert copyright on ncurses, per discussion in ncurses FAQ: https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html#relicensed + modify comparison in make_hash.c to correct a special case in collision handling for Caps-hpux11 + add testing utility report_hashing to check hash-tables used for terminfo and termcap names. + fix a missing prototype for _nc_free_and_exit(). + update a few comments about tack 1.07 + use an awk script to split too-long pathnames used in Ada95 sample programs for explain.txt
ncurses 6.1 - patch 20191214 + add exit_curses() and exit_terminfo() to replace internal symbols for leak-checking.
ncurses 6.1 - patch 20191019 + modify make_hash to not require --disable-leaks, to simplify building with address-sanitizer. + modify tic to exit if it cannot remove a conflicting name, because treating that as a partial success can cause an infinite loop in use-resolution (report/testcase by Hongxu Chen, cf: 20111001).
ncurses 6.1 - patch 20180526 + add note in curs_util.3x about unctrl.h + review/improve header files to ensure that those include necessary files except for the previously-documented cases (report by Isaac Pascual Monells). + improved test-package scripts, adapted from byacc 1.9 20180525. + fix some gcc8 warnings seen in Redhat package build, but work around bug in gcc8 compiler warnings in comp_parse.c
ncurses 6.1 - patch 20180414 + modify form library to optionally delay cursor movement on a field edge/boundary (patch by Leon Winter). + modify form library to avoid unnecessary update of cursor position in non-public fields (patch by Leon Winter). + remove unused _nc_import_termtype2() function. + also add/improve null-pointer checks in other places + add a null-pointer check in _nc_parse_entry to handle an error when a use-name is invalid syntax (report by Chung-Yi Lin).
