ncurses 6.3 - patch 20211204 + improve configure check for getttynam (report by Werner Fink).
ncurses 6.2 - patch 20211002 + use return-value from vsnprintf to reallocate as needed to allow for buffers larger than the screen size (report by "_RuRo_"). + modify tset "-q" option to refrain from modifying terminal modes, to match the documentation. + add section on margins to terminfo.5, adapted from X/Open Curses. + make tput/tset warning messages consistently using alias names when those are used, rather than the underlying program's name. + improve tput usage message for aliases such as clear, by eliminating tput-specific portions. + add a check in toe to ensure that a "termcap file" is text rather than binary. + further build-fixes for OpenBSD 6.9, whose header files differ from the other BSDs.
ncurses 6.2 - patch 20210403 + fix some cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses library and progs directory. + improve description of BSD-style padding in curs_termcap.3x + improved CF_C11_NORETURN macro, from byacc changes. + fix "--enable-leak" in CF_DISABLE_LEAKS to allow turning leak-checking off later in a set of options. + relax modification-time comparison in CF_LINK_FUNCS to allow it to accept link() function with NFS filesystems which change the mtime on the link target, e.g., several BSD systems. + call delay_output_sp to handle BSD-style padding when tputs_sp is called, whether directly or internally, to ensure that the SCREEN pointer is passed correctly (reports by Henric Jungheim, Juraj Lutter).
ncurses 6.2 - patch 20210320 + improve parameter-checking in tput by forcing it to analyze any extended string capability, e.g., as used in the Cs and Ms capabilities of the tmux description (report by Brad Town, cf: 20200531). + remove an incorrect free in the fallback (non-checking) version of _nc_free_and_exit (report by Miroslav Lichvar). + correct use-ordering in some xterm-direct flavors -TD + add hterm, hterm-256color (Mike Frysinger) + if the build-time compiler accepts c11's _Noreturn keyword, use that rather than gcc's attribute. + change configure-check for gcc's noreturn attribute to assume it is a prefix rather than suffix, matching c11's _Noreturn convention. + add "lint" rule to c++/Makefile, e.g., with cppcheck.
ncurses 6.2 - patch 20200906 + merge/adapt in-progress work by Juergen Pfeifer for new version of win32-driver. + correct description of vt330/vt340 (Ross Combs).
ncurses 6.2 - patch 20200829 + remove a redundant NCURSES_EXPORT as a build-fix for "Maarten Anonymous". + merge/adapt in-progress work by Juergen Pfeifer for new version of win32-driver. + modify configure script, moving gcc -Werror options to EXTRA_CFLAGS to avoid breaking configure-checks (adapted from ongoing work on mawk and lynx). > errate for terminfo.src (report by Florian Weimer): + correct icl6404 csr + correct ti916 cup + improve ndr9500
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 6.0 - patch 20171007 + modify "-T" option of clear and tput to call use_tioctl() to obtain the operating system's notion of the screensize if possible. + review/repair some exit-codes for tput, making usage-message exit with 2 rather than 1, and a failure to open terminal 4+errno. + amend check in tput, tabs and clear to allow those to use the database-only features in cron if a -T option gives a suitable terminal name (report by Lauri Tirkkonen). + correct an ifdef in test/ncurses.c for systems with soft-keys but not slk_color(). + regenerate man-html documentation.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170819 + update "iterm" entry -TD + add "iterm2" entry (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD + regenerate llib-* files. + regenerate HTML manpages. + improve picsmap test-program: + reduce memory used for tsearch + add report in log file showing cumulative color coverage. + add -x option to clear/tput to make the E3 extension optional (cf: 20130622). + add options -T and -V to clear command for compatibility with tput. + add usage message to clear command (Debian #371855). + improve usage messages for tset and tput. + minor fixes to "RDGB" extension and reset_color_pairs().
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170107 + amend changes for tput to reset tty modes to "sane" if the program is run as "reset", like tset. Likewise, ensure that tset sends either reset- or init-strings. + improve manual page descriptions of tput init/reset and tset/reset, to make it easier to see how they are similar and different. + move a static result from key_name() to _nc_globals + modify _nc_get_screensize to allow for use_env() and use_tioctl() state to be per-screen when sp-funcs are configured, better matching the behavior when using the term-driver configuration. + improve cross-references in manual pages for often used functions + move SCREEN field for use_tioctl() data before the ncursesw fields, and limit that to the sp-funcs configuration to improve termlib compatibility (cf: 20120714). + correct order of initialization for traces in use_env() and use_tioctl() versus first trace calls.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20161224 + correct parmeters for copywin call in _nc_Synchronize_Attributes() (patch by Leon Winter). + improve color-handling section in terminfo manual page (prompted by patch by Mihail Konev). + modify programs clear, tput and tset to pass the actual tty file descriptor to setupterm rather than the standard output, making padding work.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20161022 + modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the screensize if it was already set in the system, to improve tabstop setting which relies upon knowing the actual screensize. + add functionality of tset -w to tput, like the "-c" feature this is not optional in tput. + add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput. + improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow for transformed names. + split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20160910 + trim dead code ifdef'd with HIDE_EINTR since 970830 (discussion with Leon Winter). + trim some obsolete/incorrect wording about EINTR from wgetch manual page (patch by Leon Winter). + really correct 20100515 change (patch by Rich Coe). + add "--enable-string-hacks" option to test/configure + completed string-hacks for "sprintf", etc., including test-programs. + make "--enable-string-hacks" work with Debian by checking for the "bsd" library and its associated "<bsd/string.h>" header.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20160827 + add "v" menu entry to test/ncurses.c to show baudrate and other values. + add "newer" baudrate symbols from Linux and FreeBSD to progs/tset.c, lib_baudrate.c + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro: + add "uclinux" to case for "linux" (patch by Yann E. Morin) + modify _GNU_SOURCE for cygwin headers, tested with cygwin 2.3, 2.5 (patch by Corinna Vinschen, from changes to tin). + improve CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS macro to allow for compiler wrappers such as "ccache" (report by Enrico Scholz). + update config.guess, config.sub from http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20160820 + update tput manual page to reflect changes to manipulate terminal modes by sharing functions with tset. + add the terminal-mode parts of "reset" (aka tset) to the "tput reset" command, making the two almost the same except for window-size. + adapt logic used in dialog "--keep-tite" option for test/filter.c as "-a" option. When set, test/filter attempts to suppress the alternate screen. + correct a typo in interix entry -TD
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20160806 + improve CF_GNU_SOURCE configure macro to optionally define _DEFAULT_SOURCE work around a nuisance in recent glibc releases. + move the terminfo-specific parts of tput's "reset" function into the shared reset_cmd.c, making the two forms of reset use the same strings. + split-out the terminal initialization functions from tset as progs/reset_cmd.c, as part of changes to merge the reset-feature with tput.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20160730 + change tset's initialization to allow it to get settings from the standard input as well as /dev/tty, to be more effective when output or error are redirected. + improve discussion of history and portability for tset/reset/tput manual pages.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20160723 + improve error message from tset/reset when both stderr/stdout are redirected to a file or pipe. + improve organization of curs_attr.3x, curs_color.3x
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20160416 + add workaround in configure script for inept transition to PIE vs PIC builds documented in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Harden_All_Packages + add "reset" to list of programs whose names might change in manpages due to program-transformation configure options. + drop long-obsolete "-n" option from tset.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20151107 + modify tset's assignment to TERM in its output to reflect the name by which the terminal description is found, rather than the primary name. That was an unnecessary part from the initial conversion of tset from termcap to terminfo. The termcap program in 4.3BSD did this to avoid using the short 2-character name (report by Rich Burridge). + minor fix to configure script to ensure that rules for resulting.map are only generated when needed (cf: 20151101). + modify configure script to handle the case where tic-library is renamed, but the --with-debug option is used by itself without normal or shared libraries (prompted by comment in Debian #803482).
