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 20180407 + clarify in manual pages that vwprintw and vwscanw are obsolete, not part of X/Open Curses since 2007. + use "const" in some prototypes rather than NCURSES_CONST where X/Open Curses was updated to do this, e.g., wscanw, newterm, the terminfo interface. Also use "const" for consistency in the termcap interface, which was withdrawn by X/Open Curses in Issue 5 (2007). As of Issue 7, X/Open Curses still lacks "const" for certain return values, e.g., keyname().
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170415 + modify several test programs to use new popup_msgs, adapted from help-screen used in test/edit_field.c + drop two symbols obsoleted in 2004: _nc_check_termtype, and _nc_resolve_uses + fix some old copyright dates (cf: 20031025). + build-fixes for test/savescreen.c to work with AIX and HPUX. + minor fix to configure script, adding a backslash/continuation. + extend TERMINAL structure for ABI 6 to store numbers internally as integers rather than short, by adding new data for this purpose. + more fixes for minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20160528 + further workaround for PIE/PIC breakage which causes gpm to not link. + fix most cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses library.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20130608 + add to test/demo_forms.c examples of using the menu-hooks as well as showing how the menu item user-data can be used to pass a callback function pointer. + add test/dots_termcap.c + remove setupterm call from test/demo_termcap.c + build-fix if --disable-ext-funcs configure option is used. + modified test/edit_field.c and test/demo_forms.c to move the lengths into a user-data structure, keeping the original string for later expansion to free-format input/out demo. + modified test/demo_forms.c to load data from file. + added note to clarify Terminal.app's non-emulation of the various terminal types listed in the preferences dialog -TD + fix regression in error-reporting in lib_setup.c (Debian #711134, cf: 20121117). + build-fix for a case where --enable-broken_linker and --enable-reentrant options are combined (report by George R Goffe).
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20100123 + for term-driver configuration, ensure that the driver pointer is initialized in setupterm so that terminfo/termcap programs work. + amend fix for Debian #542031 to ensure that wattrset() returns only OK or ERR, rather than the attribute value (report by Miroslav Lichvar). + reorder WINDOWLIST to put WINDOW data after SCREEN pointer, making _nc_screen_of() compatible between normal/wide libraries again (patch by Miroslav Lichvar) + review/fix include-dependencies in modules files (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20091024 + quiet some pedantic gcc warnings. + modify _nc_wgetch() to check for a -1 in the fifo, e.g., after a SIGWINCH, and discard that value, to avoid confusing application (patch by Eygene Ryabinkin, FreeBSD bin/136223).
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20090728 + correct logic in tigetnum(), which caused tput program to treat all string capabilities as numeric (report by Rajeev V Pillai, cf: 20090711).
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20090711 + improve performance of tigetstr, etc., by using hashing code from tic. + minor fixes for memory-leak checking. + add test/demo_terminfo, for comparison with demo_termcap
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20090510 + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
