ncurses 6.3 - patch 20221203 + add -h usage and -V version options to the test-programs which use getopt. + use "command -v" rather than "type" in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in to fix a portability issue (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez). + update ncurses-howto, more documentation fixes along with corrections to example programs.

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 20190824 + fix some cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses test-programs.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170930 + fix a symbol conflict that made ncurses.c C/c menu not work with Solaris xpg4 curses. + add refresh() call to dots_mvcur.c, needed to use mvcur() with Solaris xpg4 curses after calling newterm(). + minor fixes for configure script from work on ncurses-examples and tin. + improve animation in test/xmas.c by adding a time-delay in blinkit(). + modify several test programs to reflect that ncurses honors existing signal handlers in initscr(), while other implementations do not. + modify bs.c to make it easier to quit. + change ncurses-examples to use attr_t vs chtype to follow X/Open documentation more closely since Solaris xpg4-curses uses different values for WA_xxx vs A_xxx that rely on attr_t being an unsigned short. Tru64 aka OSF1, HPUX, AIX did as ncurses does, equating the two sets.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170916 + minor fix to test/filter.c to avoid clearing the command in one case. + modify filter() to discard clr_eos if back_color_erase is set.

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 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 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 20160409 + modify test/blue.c to use Unicode values for card-glyphs when available, as well as improving the check for CP437 and CP850.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20160312 + modified test/filter.c to illustrate an alternative to getnstr, that polls for input while updating a clock on the right margin as well as responding to window size-changes.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20140809 + modify declarations for user-data pointers in C++ binding to use reinterpret_cast to facilitate converting typed pointers to void* in user's application (patch by Adam Jiang). + regenerated html manpages. + add note regarding cause and effect for TERM in ncurses manpage, having noted clueless verbiage in Terminal.app's "help" file which reverses cause/effect. + remove special fallback definition for NCURSES_ATTR_T, since macros have resolved type-mismatches using casts (cf: 970412). + fixes for win_driver.c: + handle repainting on endwin/refresh combination. + implement beep(). + minor cleanup.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20120616 + add configure check to distinguish clang from gcc to eliminate warnings about unused command-line parameters when compiler warnings are enabled. + improve behavior when updating terminfo entries which are hardlinked by allowing for the possibility that an alias has been repurposed to a new primary name. + fix some strict compiler warnings based on package scripts. + further fixes for configure check for working poll (Debian #676461).
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20110423 + add check in test/configure for use_window, use_screen. + add configure-checks for getopt's variables, which may be declared as different types on some Unix systems. + add check in test/configure for some legacy curses types of the function pointer passed to tputs(). + modify init_pair() to accept -1's for color value after assume_default_colors() has been called (Debian #337905). + modify test/background.c, adding commmand-line options to demonstrate assume_default_colors() and use_default_colors().
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20101113 + compiler warning fixes for test programs. + various build-fixes for test-programs with pdcurses. + updated configure checks for X packages in test/configure from xterm #267 changes. + add configure check to gnatmake, to accommodate cygwin.
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20081206 + move del_curterm() call from _nc_freeall() to _nc_leaks_tinfo() to work for progs/clear, progs/tabs, etc. + correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran). + add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue was xterm's alternate screen feature). + add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717, adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault).
