38 as those who provide useful information (bug reports, analyses). Changes with
39 no cited author are the work of Thomas E Dickey (TD).
41 A few contributors are given in this file by their initials.
42 They each account for one percent or more of the changes since 1.9.9e.
43 See the AUTHORS file for the corresponding full names.
45 Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions;
46 it is not possible to add this information.
49 + correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for begy/begx values
50 (patch by David Benjamin).
51 + fix most compiler warnings from clang.
52 + amend build-fix for OpenSolaris, to ensure that a system header is
53 included in curses.h before testing feature symbols, since they
54 may be defined by that route.
57 + fix some strict compiler warnings in ncurses library.
58 + modify configure macro CF_HEADER_PATH to not look for variations in
59 the predefined include directories.
60 + improve configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GCC_WARNINGS to work
61 with gcc 4.x's c89 alias, which gives warning messages for cases
62 where older versions would produce an error.
65 + modify _nc_capcmp() to work with cancelled strings.
66 + correct translation of "^" in _nc_infotocap(), used to transform
67 terminfo to termcap strings
68 + add configure --disable-rpath-hack, to allow disabling the feature
69 which adds rpath options for libraries in unusual places.
70 + improve CF_RPATH_HACK_2 by checking if the rpath option for a given
71 directory was already added.

86 environment variables may override system- and terminfo-values
87 (prompted by discussion with Igor Bujna).
88 + make debug-traces for COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER less verbose.
89 + improve handling of color-pairs embedded in attributes for the
90 extended-colors configuration.
91 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to build link_test with sp-funcs.
92 + build-fixes for OpenSolaris aka Solaris 11, for wide-character

98 + improve configure CF_REGEX, similar fixes.
99 + improve configure CF_FIND_LINKAGE, adding add check between system
100 (default) and explicit paths, where we can find the entrypoint in the
102 + add check if Gpm_Open() returns a -2, e.g., for "xterm". This is
103 normally suppressed but can be overridden using $NCURSES_GPM_TERMS.
104 Ensure that Gpm_Close() is called in this case.
107 + rename atari and st52 terminfo entries to atari-old, st52-old, use
108 newer entries from FreeMiNT by Guido Flohr (from patch/report by Alan

132 + fix typo in wresize.3x (patch by Tim van der Molen).
133 + modify screen-bce.XXX entries to exclude ech, since screen's color
134 model does not clear with color for that feature -TD

162 + amend fix for Debian #542031 to ensure that wattrset() returns only
163 OK or ERR, rather than the attribute value (report by Miroslav
165 + reorder WINDOWLIST to put WINDOW data after SCREEN pointer, making
166 _nc_screen_of() compatible between normal/wide libraries again (patch
168 + review/fix include-dependencies in modules files (report by Miroslav
172 + modify win_driver.c to initialize acs_map for win32 console, so
173 that line-drawing works.

192 + minor improvement to tic's checking of similar SGR's to allow for the
193 most common case of SGR 0.
194 + modify getmouse() to act as its documentation implied, returning on
195 each call the preceding event until none are left. When no more
196 events remain, it will return ERR.
199 + change order of lookup in progs/tput.c, looking for terminfo data
200 first. This fixes a confusion between termcap "sg" and terminfo
201 "sgr" or "sgr0", originally from 990123 changes, but exposed by
202 20091114 fixes for hashing. With this change, only "dl" and "ed" are

215 + update minix terminfo entry -TD
216 + add bw (auto-left-margin) to nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler)
219 + correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
220 field_buffer(), which stopped at the end of the first row due to
221 filling of unused entries in a cchar_t array with nulls.
222 + updated nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler, Emanuele Giaquinta)
223 + modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to show wide-character
225 + use strdup() in set_menu_mark(), restore .marklen struct member on

238 wide-character configured by set_field_buffer (patch by Rafael
240 + improve some limit-checks related to filename length in reading and
241 writing terminfo entries.
242 + ensure that filename is always filled in when attempting to read
243 a terminfo entry, so that infocmp can report the filename (patch
244 by Nicholas Marriott).
247 + modify mk-1st.awk to allow tinfo library to be built when term-driver
249 + add error-check to configure script to ensure that sp-funcs is
250 enabled if term-driver is, since some internal interfaces rely upon
254 + fix case where progs/tput is used while sp-funcs is configure; this
255 requires save/restore of out-character function from _nc_prescreen
256 rather than the SCREEN structure (report by Charles Wilson).
257 + fix typo in man/curs_trace.3x which caused incorrect symbolic links
258 + improved configure macros CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_PROG_LINT.
262 + updated man/curs_trace.3x
263 + limit hashing for termcap-names to 2-characters (Ubuntu #481740).
264 + change a variable name in lib_newwin.c to make it clearer which
265 value is being freed on error (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
268 + improve test/ncurses.c color-cycling test by reusing attribute-
269 and color-cycling logic from the video-attributes screen.
270 + add ifdef'd with NCURSES_INTEROP_FUNCS experimental bindings in form
271 library which help make it compatible with interop applications
272 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
273 + add configure option --enable-interop, for integrating changes
274 for generic/interop support to form-library by Juergen Pfeifer

279 (prompted by discussion with Benjamin C W Sittler).
280 + add START_TRACE in slk_init
281 + fix a regression in _nc_ripoffline which made test/ncurses.c not show
282 soft-keys, broken in 20090927 merging.

290 + quiet some pedantic gcc warnings.
291 + modify _nc_wgetch() to check for a -1 in the fifo, e.g., after a
292 SIGWINCH, and discard that value, to avoid confusing application
293 (patch by Eygene Ryabinkin, FreeBSD bin/136223).
296 + modify handling of $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to use only the first item in

317 that module since 20090711 is in libtinfo.
318 + add configure option --enable-term-driver, to allow compiling with
319 terminal-driver. That is used in mingw port, and (being somewhat
320 more complicated) is an experimental alternative to the conventional
321 termlib internals. Currently, it requires the sp-funcs feature to

339 by sharing linedata.h functions):
343 test/test_add_wchstr.c
344 + correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when
345 inserting wide characters, since the wins_wch() function that it used
346 did not update the cursor position (report by Ciprian Craciun).
349 + fix typo s/is_timeout/is_notimeout/ which made "man is_notimeout" not
351 + add null-pointer checks to other opaque-functions.

386 + separate _nc_find_entry() and _nc_find_type_entry() from
387 implementation details of hash function.
390 + add tabs.1 to man/man_db.renames

590 character is found to not fit on the current row, and wrapping is
591 done. Since the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped
592 multicolumn character was written to the beginning of the current row
593 (cf: 20041023, reported by "Nick" regarding problem with ncmpc
594 http://musicpd.org/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1930).
597 + add screen.Eterm terminfo entry (GenToo #124887) -TD
598 + modify adacurses-config to look for ".ali" files in the adalib
600 + correct install for Ada95, which omitted libAdaCurses.a used in
602 + change install for adacurses-config to provide additional flavors
603 such as adacursesw-config, for ncursesw (GenToo #167849).
606 + remove undeveloped feature in ncurses-config.in for setting
608 + recent change to ncurses-config.in did not take into account the
609 --disable-overwrite option, which sets $includedir to the
610 subdirectory and using just that for a -I option does not work - fix
611 (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
614 + modify gen-pkgconfig.in to eliminate a dependency on rpath when
615 deciding whether to add $LIBS to --libs output; that should be shown
616 for the ncurses and tinfo libraries without taking rpath into
618 + fix an overlooked change from $AR_OPTS to $ARFLAGS in mk-1st.awk,
619 used in static libraries (report by Marty Jack).
622 + add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
623 CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris (report by Dagobert Michelsen).
624 + add configure --with-pkg-config and --enable-pc-files options, along
625 with misc/gen-pkgconfig.in which can be used to generate ".pc" files
626 for pkg-config (request by Jan Engelhardt).
627 + use $includedir symbol in misc/ncurses-config.in, add --includedir
629 + change makefiles to use $ARFLAGS rather than $AR_OPTS, provide a
630 configure check to detect whether a "-" is needed before "ar"
632 + update config.guess, config.sub from
633 http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
636 + modify mk-1st.awk to work with extra categories for tinfo library.
637 + modify configure script to allow building shared libraries with gcc
638 on AIX 5 or 6 (adapted from patch by Lital Natan).
641 + modify to omit the opaque-functions from lib_gen.o when
642 --disable-ext-funcs is used.
643 + add test/clip_printw.c to illustrate how to use printw without
645 + modify ncurses 'F' test to demo wborder_set() with colored lines.
646 + modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder() with colored lines.
649 + add check for failure to open hashed-database needed for db4.6
651 + corrected --without-manpages option; previous change only suppressed
652 the auxiliary rules install.man and uninstall.man
653 + add case for FreeMINT to configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE (patch from
655 + fixes from NetBSD port at
656 http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/patches
657 patch-ac (build-fix for DragonFly)
658 patch-ae (use INSTALL_SCRIPT for installing misc/ncurses*-config).
659 + improve configure script macros CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_LIBRARY_PATH
660 by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS values to the
662 + correct title string for keybound manpage (patch by Frederic Culot,
663 OpenBSD documentation/6019),
666 + move del_curterm() call from _nc_freeall() to _nc_leaks_tinfo() to
667 work for progs/clear, progs/tabs, etc.
668 + correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character
669 set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran).
670 + add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather
671 than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that
672 ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue
673 was xterm's alternate screen feature).
674 + add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a
675 zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717,
676 adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault).
679 + improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control
680 character is found. The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to
681 obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not
682 passing color or video attributes.
683 + improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl() more consistently to
684 display meta-characters.
685 + turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h
686 + add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD
687 + correct use of key_name() in test/ncurses.c 'A' test, which only
688 displays wide-characters, not key-codes since 20070612 (report by
692 + change _nc_has_mouse() to has_mouse(), reflect its use in C++ and
693 Ada95 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
694 + document in TO-DO an issue with Cygwin's package for GNAT (report
696 + improve error-checking of command-line options in "tabs" program.
699 + change several terminfo entries to make consistent use of ANSI

702 + add configure --without-manpages option (request by Mike Frysinger).
704 20081102 5.7 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
707 + add a manpage to discuss memory leaks.
708 + add support for shared libraries for QNX (other than libtool, which
709 does not work well on that platform).
710 + build-fix for QNX C++ binding.
713 + build-fixes for OS/2 EMX.
714 + modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
715 in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris (report by
717 + modify configure script to assume --without-hashed-db when
718 --disable-database is used.
719 + add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating source-files
720 to force earlier exit if the build environment fails unexpectedly
721 (prompted by patch by Adrian Bunk).
722 + change configure script to use CF_UTF8_LIB, improved variant of
726 + add teraterm4.59 terminfo entry, use that as primary teraterm entry, rename
727 original to teraterm2.3 -TD
728 + update "gnome" terminfo to 2.22.3 -TD
729 + update "konsole" terminfo to 1.6.6, needs today's fix for tic -TD
730 + add "aterm" terminfo -TD
731 + add "linux2.6.26" terminfo -TD
732 + add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined capabilities,
736 + update html documentation.
737 + add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
738 the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
739 + correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
740 + document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
741 + fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
742 + add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
743 tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
744 20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
747 + some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
748 works for C/C++ parts).
749 + improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
750 AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
753 + fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
754 strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
755 + fix build for --disable-sigwinch
756 + add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
757 GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
758 + disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
759 "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
760 that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
761 + reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
763 + fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
764 > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
765 + use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.
766 + discard internal symbol _nc_slk_format (unused since 20080112).
767 + move call of slk_paint_info() from _nc_slk_initialize() to
768 slk_intern_refresh(), improving initialization.
771 + fix bug in mouse code for GPM from 20080920 changes (reported in
772 Debian #500103, also Miroslav Lichvar).
775 + fix shared-library rules for cygwin with tic- and tinfo-libraries.
776 + fix a memory leak when failure to connect to GPM.
777 + correct check for notimeout() in wgetch() (report on linux.redhat
778 newsgroup by FurtiveBertie).
779 + add an example warning-suppression file for valgrind,
780 misc/ncurses.supp (based on example from Reuben Thomas)

797 + adapt ifdef's from library to make test/view.c build when mbrtowc()
798 is unavailable, e.g., with HPUX 10.20.
799 + add configure check for wcsrtombs, mbsrtowcs, which are used in
800 test/ncurses.c, and use wcstombs, mbstowcs instead if available,
801 fixing build of ncursew for HPUX 11.00
804 + fixes to make Ada95 demo_panels() example work.
805 + modify Ada95 'rain' test program to accept keyboard commands like the
807 + modify BeOS-specific ifdef's to build on Haiku (patch by Scott
809 + add configure-check to see if the std namespace is legal for cerr
810 and endl, to fix a build issue with Tru64.
811 + consistently use NCURSES_BOOL in lib_gen.c
812 + filter #line's from lib_gen.c
813 + change delimiter in MKlib_gen.sh from '%' to '@', to avoid
814 substitution by IBM xlc to '#' as part of its extensions to digraphs.
815 + update config.guess, config.sub from
816 http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
817 (caveat - its maintainer removed support for older Linux systems).
820 + modify configure check for pthread library to work with OSF/1 5.1,
821 which uses #define's to associate its header and library.
822 + use pthread_mutexattr_init() for initializing pthread_mutexattr_t,
823 makes threaded code work on HPUX 11.23
824 + fix a bug in demo_menus in freeing menus (cf: 20080804).
825 + modify configure script for the case where tic library is used (and
826 possibly renamed) to remove its dependency upon ncurses/ncursew
827 library (patch by Dr Werner Fink).
828 + correct manpage for menu_fore() which gave wrong default for
829 the attribute used to display a selected entry (report by Mike Gran).
830 + add Eterm-256color, Eterm-88color and rxvt-88color (prompted by
834 + add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
835 + add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
836 + modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
837 applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
838 etc. This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
840 + add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
841 using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
842 + document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted
843 by comments by Samuel Thibault).
844 + fix remaining warnings from Klocwork report.
847 + modify _nc_panelhook() data to account for a permanent memory leak.
848 + fix memory leaks in test/demo_menus
849 + fix most warnings from Klocwork tool (report by Larry Zhou).
850 + modify configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to add case for
851 "dragonfly" from xterm #236 changes.
852 + modify configure script --with-hashed-db to let $LIBS override the
853 search for the db library (prompted by report by Samson Pierre).
856 + build-fixes for gcc 4.3.1 (changes to gnat "warnings", and C inlining
860 + build-fix (reports by Christian Ebert, Funda Wang).
863 + compiler-warning fixes for Solaris.
866 + use NCURSES_MOUSE_MASK() in definition of BUTTON_RELEASE(), etc., to
867 make those work properly with the "--enable-ext-mouse" configuration
869 + improve documentation of build-cc options in INSTALL.
870 + work-around a bug in gcc 4.2.4 on AIX, which does not pass the
871 -static/-dynamic flags properly to linker, causing test/bs to
875 + correct some ifdef's needed for the broken-linker configuration.
876 + make debugging library's $BAUDRATE feature work for termcap
878 + make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface (prompted
879 by comment on FreeBSD mailing list).
880 + add screen.mlterm terminfo entry -TD
881 + improve mlterm and mlterm+pcfkeys terminfo entries -TD
884 + regenerated html documentation.

894 + add "-shared" option to MK_SHARED_LIB for gcc on Solaris (report
898 + finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the
899 window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr(). That
900 allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with
901 some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a
902 window which is being used in a wgetch().
903 + simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
906 + modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
907 parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
909 + factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
910 + add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a
911 particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
912 + add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a
913 particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
914 + add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate
915 its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN.
916 + add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in
917 preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer.
920 + modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
921 screen which must be updated.
922 + wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and
923 always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm().
924 + restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch
928 + modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and
929 --enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from

938 overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD
939 + modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the

945 + continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate
946 multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens.
947 + fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran).
950 + add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD
951 + modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from
952 being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings.
953 + improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout.
956 + change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm.
957 + add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their
959 + add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN
961 + finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.
964 + begin table in curs_thread.3x manpage describing the scope of data
965 used by each function (or symbol) for threading analysis.
966 + add null-pointer checks to setsyx() and getsyx() (prompted by
967 discussion by Martin v. Lowis and Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on
968 python-dev2 mailing list).
971 + add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen().
972 + move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which
973 are not associated with a particular screen.
974 + change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than
975 stdscr to the callback function.
976 + force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this,
977 e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc
978 (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
979 + override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on
980 platforms such as AIX where libtool may use a different suffix for
981 the object files than ".o" (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
982 + add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX
986 + fill in extended-color pair two more places in wbkgrndset() and
987 waddch_nosync() (prompted by Sedeno's patch).
988 + fill in extended-color pair in _nc_build_wch() to make colors work
989 for wide-characters using extended-colors (patch by Alejandro R
991 + add x/X toggles to ncurses.c C color test to test/demo
992 wide-characters with extended-colors.
993 + add a/A toggles to ncurses.c c/C color tests.
994 + modify test/ditto.c to use use_screen().
995 + finish modifying test/rain.c to demonstrate threads.
998 + start modifying test/rain.c for threading demo.
999 + modify test/ncurses.c to make 'f' test accept the f/F/b/F/</> toggles
1000 that the 'F' accepts.
1001 + modify test/worm.c to show trail in reverse-video when other threads
1002 are working concurrently.
1003 + fix a deadlock from improper nesting of mutexes for windowlist and
1007 + fixes from 20080223 resolved issue with mutexes; change to use
1008 recursive mutexes to fix memory leak in delwin() as called from
1009 _nc_free_and_exit().
1012 + fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex
1013 lock/unlock when termlib was built separately.
1016 + avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often
1017 is implemented to suspend the entire process.
1020 + update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for
1021 comparisons. This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open curses
1022 that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping. None of the Unix-branded
1023 implementations do this, as noted in manpage (cf: 20040228).
1026 + modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same
1027 for both narrow/wide models. It had been set only for wide model,
1028 but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model.
1029 + improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by
1030 using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append
1031 further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A
1033 + modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint().
1034 If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
1038 + improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE
1039 handling). Now it hangs in napms(), no matter whether nanosleep()
1040 or poll() or select() are used on Linux.
1043 + fixes to build with --disable-ext-funcs
1044 + add manpage for use_window and use_screen.
1045 + add set_tabsize() and set_escdelay() functions.
1048 + remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c
1049 + remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's
1050 adjust_window() which caused occasional misadjustment of stdscr when
1054 + several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD
1055 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the
1056 "link_test" builds properly.
1057 + fix for toe command-line options -u/-U to ensure filename is given.
1058 + fix allocation-size for command-line parsing in infocmp from 20070728
1059 (report by Miroslav Lichvar)
1060 + improve resizeterm() by moving ripped-off lines, and repainting the
1061 soft-keys (report by Katarina Machalkova)

1078 + improve checks for version of Berkeley database libraries.
1079 + amend fix for rpath to not modify LDFLAGS if the platform has no
1080 applicable transformation (report by Christian Ebert, cf: 20071124).
1083 + modify configure option --with-hashed-db to accept a parameter which
1084 is the install-prefix of a given Berkeley Database (prompted by
1085 pierre4d2 comments).
1086 + rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb(), making it work on Solaris. This is
1087 used in the form library to determine the length of the buffer needed
1088 by field_buffer (report by Alfred Fung).
1089 + remove unneeded window-parameter from C++ binding for wresize (report
1093 + modify the support for filesystems which do not support mixed-case to
1094 generate 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the lower-level of the
1095 filesystem terminfo database (request by Michail Vidiassov).
1096 + add configure option --enable-mixed-case, to allow overriding the
1097 configure script's check if the filesystem supports mixed-case
1099 + add wresize() to C++ binding (request by Chris Lee).
1100 + define NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS and NCURSES_EXT_COLORS in curses.h to make
1101 it simpler to tell if the extended functions and/or colors are
1105 + update memory-leak checks for changes to names.c and codes.c
1106 + correct acsc strings in h19, z100 (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler).
1109 + continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
1111 + add mrxvt terminfo entry, add/fix xterm building blocks for modified
1113 + compile with FreeBSD "contemporary" TTY interface (patch by
1117 + modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built
1118 without libtic. The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
1120 + add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
1121 the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).
1122 + fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat Bugzilla
1123 #310071, patches by Miroslav Lichvar).
1124 + improve performance of NCURSES_CHAR_EQ code (patch by Miroslav
1126 + update/improve mlterm and rxvt terminfo entries, e.g., for
1127 the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
1130 + add code to curses.priv.h ifdef'd with NCURSES_CHAR_EQ, which
1131 changes the CharEq() macro to an inline function to allow comparing
1132 cchar_t struct's without comparing gaps in a possibly unpacked
1133 memory layout (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
1136 + add new functions to lib_trace.c to setup mutex's for the _tracef()
1137 calls within the ncurses library.
1138 + for the reentrant model, move _nc_tputs_trace and _nc_outchars into
1140 + start modifying test/worm.c to provide threading demo (incomplete).
1141 + separated ifdef's for some BSD-related symbols in tset.c, to make
1142 it compile on LynxOS (report by Greg Gemmer).
1144 + modify Ada95/gen/Makefile to use shlib script, to simplify building
1145 shared-library configuration on platforms lacking rpath support.
1146 + build-fix for Ada95/src/Makefile to reflect changed dependency for
1147 the terminal-interface-curses-aux.adb file which is now generated.
1148 + restructuring test/worm.c, for use_window() example.
1151 + add use_window() and use_screen() functions, to develop into support
1152 for threaded library (incomplete).
1153 + fix typos in man/curs_opaque.3x which kept the install script from
1154 creating symbolic links to two aliases created in 20070818 (report by
1158 + remove a spurious newline from output of html.m4, which caused links

1437 opaque in selected configurations.
1438 + move the chunk in lib_acs.c which resets acs capabilities when
1439 running on a terminal whose locale interferes with those into
1440 _nc_setupscreen(), so the libtinfo/libtinfow files can be made
1441 identical (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
1442 + do not use configure variable SHLIB_LIBS for building libraries
1443 outside the ncurses directory, since that symbol is customized
1444 only for that directory, and using it introduces an unneeded
1445 dependency on libdl (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
1446 + modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or
1447 installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in
1448 case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh (report by Jeff

1493 for each multi-column character (prompted by report by Wei Kong
1494 regarding change in mvwin_wch() cf: 20041023).
1497 + modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
1498 from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
1499 Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
1500 associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
1502 + improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
1503 + ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
1504 + add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
1505 to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
1506 + drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding

1520 it is removed from the ncurses tree.
1521 + fix configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines

1599 extra linkage requirements, e.g., of C++ applications (prompted by
1600 comment by Casper Dik in newsgroup).
1601 + rename "$target" in CF_MAN_PAGES to make it easier to distinguish
1602 from the autoconf predefined symbol. There was no conflict,

1666 "ncursesw5-config", according to configuration options.
1669 + add several GNU Screen terminfo variations with 16- and 256-colors,
1670 and status line (Alain Bench).
1671 + change the way shared libraries (other than libtool) are installed.
1672 Rather than copying the build-tree's libraries, link the shared
1673 objects into the install directory. This makes the --with-rpath
1674 option work except with $(DESTDIR) (cf: 20000930).
1677 + fix ifdef in c++/internal.h for QNX 6.1
1678 + test-compiled with (old) egcs-1.1.2, modified configure script to
1679 not unset the $CXX and related variables which would prevent this.
1680 + fix a few terminfo.src typos exposed by improvments to "-f" option.
1681 + improve infocmp/tic "-f" option formatting.

1687 + minor improvements to rxvt+pcfkeys -TD
1690 + move static data from lib_mouse.c into SCREEN struct.
1691 + improve ifdef's for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset to work with Mac OS X
1692 (report by Michail Vidiassov).
1693 + modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX to ensure it uses the result from --prefix
1694 option (from lynx changes) -TD
1695 + adapt AC_PROG_EGREP check, noting that this is likely to be another
1696 place aggravated by POSIXLY_CORRECT.
1697 + modify configure check for awk to ensure that it is found (prompted
1698 by report by Christopher Parker).
1702 + add kon, kon2 and jfbterm terminfo entry (request by Till Maas) -TD
1703 + remove invis capability from klone+sgr, mainly used by linux entry,
1704 since it does not really do this -TD
1707 + correct logic in wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not guard
1708 against passing the multi-column attribute into a call on waddch(),
1709 e.g., using data returned by win_wch() (cf: 20041023)
1710 (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
1713 + fix kterm's acsc string -TD
1714 + fix for change to tic/infocmp in 20060819 to ensure no blank is
1715 embedded into a termcap description.
1716 + workaround for 20050806 ifdef's change to allow visbuf.c to compile
1717 when using --with-termlib --with-trace options.
1718 + improve tgetstr() by making the return value point into the user's
1719 buffer, if provided (patch by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat Bugzilla
1721 + correct libraries needed for foldkeys (report by Stanislav Ievlev)
1724 + add terminfo entries for xfce terminal (xfce) and multi gnome
1726 + add test/foldkeys.c
1729 + modify tic and infocmp to avoid writing trailing blanks on terminfo
1730 source output (Debian #378783).
1731 + modify configure script to ensure that if the C compiler is used
1732 rather than the loader in making shared libraries, the $(CFLAGS)
1733 variable is also used (Redhat Bugzilla #199369).
1734 + port hashed-db code to db2 and db3.
1735 + fix a bug in tgetent() from 20060625 and 20060715 changes
1736 (patch/analysis by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat Bugzilla #202480)).
1739 + updated xterm function-keys terminfo to match xterm #216 -TD
1740 + add configure --with-hashed-db option (tested only with FreeBSD 6.0,
1741 e.g., the db 1.8.5 interface).
1744 + modify toe to access termcap data, e.g., via cgetent() functions,
1745 or as a text file if those are not available.
1746 + use _nc_basename() in tset to improve $SHELL check for csh/sh.
1747 + modify _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_termcap_entry() so infocmp,
1748 can access termcap data when the terminfo database is disabled.
1751 + widen the test for xterm kmous a little to allow for other strings
1752 than \E[M, e.g., for xterm-sco functionality in xterm.
1753 + update xterm-related terminfo entries to match xterm patch #216 -TD
1754 + update config.guess, config.sub
1757 + fix for install-rule in Ada95 to add terminal_interface.ads
1758 and terminal_interface.ali (anonymous posting in comp.lang.ada).
1759 + correction to manpage for getcchar() (report by William McBrine).
1761 + modify wchgat() to mark updated cells as changed so a refresh will
1762 repaint those cells (comments by Sadrul H Chowdhury and William
1764 + split up dependency of names.c and codes.c in ncurses/Makefile to
1765 work with parallel make (report/analysis by Joseph S Myers).
1766 + suppress a warning message (which is ignored) for systems without
1767 an ldconfig program (patch by Justin Hibbits).
1768 + modify configure script --disable-symlinks option to allow one to
1769 disable symlink() in tic even when link() does not work (report by
1771 + modify MKfallback.sh to use tic -x when constructing fallback tables
1772 to allow extended capabilities to be retrieved from a fallback entry.
1773 + improve leak-checking logic in tgetent() from 20060625 to ensure that
1774 it does not free the current screen (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
1777 + add a check for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset (NetBSD #33916).
1778 + correct _nc_free_entries() and related functions used for memory leak
1782 + revert a minor change for magic-cookie support from 20060513, which
1783 caused unexpected reset of attributes, e.g., when resizing test/view
1785 + note in clear manpage that the program ignores command-line
1786 parameters (prompted by Debian #371855).
1787 + fixes to make lib_gen.c build properly with changes to the configure
1788 --disable-macros option and NCURSES_NOMACROS (cf: 20060527)
1789 + update/correct several terminfo entries -TD
1790 + add some notes regarding copyright to terminfo.src -TD
1793 + fixes to build Ada95 binding with gnat-4.1.0
1794 + modify read_termtype() so the term_names data is always allocated as
1795 part of the str_table, a better fix for a memory leak (cf: 20030809).
1796 + reduce memory leaks in repeated calls to tgetent() by remembering the
1797 last TERMINAL* value allocated to hold the corresponding data and
1798 freeing that if the tgetent() result buffer is the same as the
1799 previous call (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
1800 + modify tack to test extended capability function-key strings.
1801 + improved gnome terminfo entry (GenToo #122566).
1802 + improved xterm-256color terminfo entry (patch by Alain Bench).
1805 + fix two small memory leaks related to repeated tgetent() calls
1806 with TERM=screen (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
1807 + add --enable-signed-char to simplify Debian package.
1808 + reduce name-pollution in term.h by removing #define's for HAVE_xxx
1810 + correct typo in curs_terminfo.3x (Debian #369168).
1813 + enable the mouse in test/movewindow.c
1814 + improve a limit-check in frm_def.c (John Heasley).
1815 + minor copyright fixes.
1816 + change configure script to produce test/Makefile from data file.
1819 + add a configure option --enable-wgetch-events to enable
1820 NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS, and correct the associated loop-logic in
1821 lib_twait.c (report by Bernd Jendrissek).
1822 + remove include/nomacros.h from build, since the ifdef for
1823 NCURSES_NOMACROS makes that obsolete.
1824 + add entrypoints for some functions which were only provided as macros
1825 to make NCURSES_NOMACROS ifdef work properly: getcurx(), getcury(),
1826 getbegx(), getbegy(), getmaxx(), getmaxy(), getparx() and getpary(),
1828 + provide ifdef for NCURSES_NOMACROS which suppresses most macro
1829 definitions from curses.h, i.e., where a macro is defined to override
1830 a function to improve performance. Allowing a developer to suppress
1831 these definitions can simplify some application (discussion with
1833 + improve description of memu/meml in terminfo manpage.
1836 + if msgr is false, reset video attributes when doing an automargin
1837 wrap to the next line. This makes the ncurses 'k' test work properly
1839 + correct caching of keyname(), which was using only half of its table.
1840 + minor fixes to memory-leak checking.
1841 + make SCREEN._acs_map and SCREEN._screen_acs_map pointers rather than
1842 arrays, making ACS_LEN less visible to applications (suggested by
1844 + move chunk in SCREEN ifdef'd for USE_WIDEC_SUPPORT to the end, so
1845 _screen_acs_map will have the same offset in both ncurses/ncursesw,
1846 making the corresponding tinfo/tinfow libraries binary-compatible
1847 (cf: 20041016, report by Stanislav Ievlev).
1850 + improve debug-tracing for EmitRange().
1851 + change default for --with-develop to "yes". Add NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS
1852 and NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE environment variables to allow runtime
1853 suppression of the related hard-tabs and xmc-glitch features.
1854 + add ncurses version number to top-level manpages, e.g., ncurses, tic,
1855 infocmp, terminfo as well as form, menu, panel.
1856 + update config.guess, config.sub
1857 + modify ncurses.c to work around a bug in NetBSD 3.0 curses
1858 (field_buffer returning null for a valid field). The 'r' test
1859 appears to not work with that configuration since the new_fieldtype()
1860 function is broken in that implementation.
1863 + add hpterm-color terminfo entry -TD
1864 + fixes to compile test-programs with HPUX 11.23
1867 + add copyright notices to files other than those that are generated,
1868 data or adapted from pdcurses (reports by William McBrine, David
1870 + improve rendering on hpterm by not resetting attributes at the end
1871 of doupdate() if the terminal has the magic-cookie feature (report
1873 + add 256color variants of terminfo entries for programs which are
1874 reported to implement this feature -TD
1877 + fix typo in change to NewChar() macro from 20060311 changes, which
1878 broke tab-expansion (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
1881 + document -U option of tic and infocmp.
1882 + modify tic/infocmp to suppress smacs/rmacs when acsc is suppressed
1883 due to size limit, e.g., converting to termcap format. Also
1884 suppress them if the output format does not contain acsc and it
1885 was not VT100-like, i.e., a one-one mapping (Novell #163715).
1886 + add configure check to ensure that SIGWINCH is defined on platforms
1887 such as OS X which exclude that when _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., are
1888 defined (report by Nicholas Cole)
1891 + modify write_object() to not write coincidental extensions of an
1892 entry made due to it being referenced in a use= clause (report by
1894 + another fix for infocmp -i option, which did not ensure that some
1895 escape sequences had comparable prefixes (report by Alain Bench).
1898 + improve discussion of init/reset in terminfo and tput manpages
1899 (report by Alain Bench).
1900 + use is3 string for a fallback of rs3 in the reset program; it was
1901 using is2 (report by Alain Bench).
1902 + correct logic for infocmp -i option, which did not account for
1903 multiple digits in a parameter (cf: 20040828) (report by Alain
1905 + move _nc_handle_sigwinch() to lib_setup.c to make --with-termlib
1906 option work after 20060114 changes (report by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz).
1907 + add copyright notices to test-programs as needed (report by William
1911 + modify ncurses.c 'F' test to combine the wide-characters with color
1912 and/or video attributes.
1913 + modify test/ncurses to use CTL/Q or ESC consistently for exiting
1914 a test-screen (some commands used 'x' or 'q').
1917 + fix an off-by-one in the scrolling-region change (cf_ 20060311).
1920 + add checks in waddchnstr() and wadd_wchnstr() to stop copying when
1921 a null character is found (report by Igor Bogomazov).
1922 + modify progs/Makefile.in to make "tput init" work properly with
1923 cygwin, i.e., do not pass a ".exe" in the reference string used
1924 in check_aliases (report by Samuel Thibault).
1925 + add some checks to ensure current position is within scrolling
1926 region before scrolling on a new line (report by Dan Gookin).
1927 + change some NewChar() usage to static variables to work around
1928 stack garbage introduced when cchar_t is not packed (Redhat #182024).
1931 + workarounds to build test/movewindow with PDcurses 2.7.
1932 + fix for nsterm-16color entry (patch by Alain Bench).
1933 + correct a typo in infocmp manpage (Debian #354281).
1936 + add nsterm-16color entry -TD
1937 + updated mlterm terminfo entry -TD
1938 + remove 970913 feature for copying subwindows as they are moved in
1939 mvwin() (discussion with Bryan Christ).
1940 + modify test/demo_menus.c to demonstrate moving a menu (both the
1941 window and subwindow) using shifted cursor-keys.
1942 + start implementing recursive mvwin() in movewindow.c (incomplete).
1943 + add a fallback definition for GCC_PRINTFLIKE() in test.priv.h,
1944 for movewindow.c (report by William McBrine).
1945 + add help-message to test/movewindow.c
1948 + add test/movewindow.c, to test mvderwin().
1949 + fix ncurses soft-key test so color changes are shown immediately
1950 rather than delayed.
1951 + modify ncurses soft-key test to hide the keys when exiting the test
1953 + fixes to build test programs with PDCurses 2.7, e.g., its headers
1954 rely on autoconf symbols, and it declares stubs for nonfunctional
1955 terminfo and termcap entrypoints.
1958 + improved test/configure to build test/ncurses on HPUX 11 using the
1960 + documented ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS in the ncurses manpage, for the
1961 benefit of developers who do not read INSTALL.
1964 + correct form library Window_To_Buffer() change (cf: 20040516), which
1965 should ignore the video attributes (report by Ricardo Cantu).
1968 + minor fixes to xmc-glitch experimental code:
1969 + suppress line-drawing
1970 + implement max_attributes
1972 + minor fixes for the database iterator.
1973 + fix some buffer limits in c++ demo (comment by Falk Hueffner in
1977 + add toe -a option, to show all databases. This uses new private
1978 interfaces in the ncurses library for iterating through the list of
1980 + fix toe from 20000909 changes which made it not look at
1982 + make toe's -v option parameter optional as per manpage.
1983 + improve SIGWINCH handling by postponing its effect during newterm(),
1984 etc., when allocating screens.
1987 + modify wgetnstr() to return KEY_RESIZE if a sigwinch occurs. Use
1988 this in test/filter.c
1989 + fix an error in filter() modification which caused some applications
1993 + check if filter() was called when getting the screensize. Keep it
1994 at 1 if so (based on Redhat #174498).
1995 + add extension nofilter().
1996 + refined the workaround for ACS mapping.
1997 + make ifdef's consistent in curses.h for the extended colors so the
1998 header file can be used for the normal curses library. The header
1999 file installed for extended colors is a variation of the
2000 wide-character configuration (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
2003 + add a workaround to ACS mapping to allow applications such as
2004 test/blue.c to use the "PC ROM" characters by masking them with
2005 A_ALTCHARSET. This worked up til 5.5, but was lost in the revision
2006 of legacy coding (report by Michael Deutschmann).
2007 + add a null-pointer check in the wide-character version of
2008 calculate_actual_width() (report by Victor Julien).
2009 + improve test/ncurses 'd' (color-edit) test by allowing the RGB
2010 values to be set independently (patch by William McBrine).
2011 + modify test/configure script to allow building test programs with
2013 + modified test programs to allow some to work with NetBSD curses.
2014 Several do not because NetBSD curses implements a subset of X/Open
2015 curses, and also lacks much of SVr4 additions. But it's enough for
2017 + update config.guess and config.sub
2020 + use BSD-specific fix for return-value from cgetent() from CVS where
2021 an unknown terminal type would be reportd as "database not found".
2022 + make tgetent() return code more readable using new symbols
2024 + remove references to non-existent "tctest" program.
2025 + remove TESTPROGS from progs/Makefile.in (it was referring to code
2026 that was never built in that directory).
2027 + typos in curs_addchstr.3x, some doc files (noticed in OpenBSD CVS).
2030 + add use_legacy_coding() function to support lynx's font-switching
2032 + fix formatting in curs_termcap.3x (report by Mike Frysinger).
2033 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to change preprocessor-expanded _Bool back to
2037 + extend test/ncurses.c 's' (overlay window) test to exercise overlay(),
2038 overwrite() and copywin() with different combinations of colors and
2039 attributes (including background color) to make it easy to see the
2040 effect of the different functions.
2041 + corrections to menu/m_global.c for wide-characters (report by
2045 + add configure option --without-dlsym, allowing developers to
2046 configure GPM support without using dlsym() (discussion with Michael
2048 + fix wins_nwstr(), which did not handle single-column non-8bit codes
2052 + move prototypes for wide-character trace functions from curses.tail
2053 to curses.wide to avoid accidental reference to those if
2054 _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined without ensuring that <wchar.h> is
2056 + add/use NCURSES_INLINE definition.
2057 + change some internal functions to use int/unsigned rather than the
2061 + remove a redundant check in lib_color.c (Debian #335655).
2062 + use ld's -search_paths_first option on Darwin to work around odd
2063 search rules on that platform (report by Christian Gennerat, analysis
2065 + remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro.
2066 + ignore EINTR in tcgetattr/tcsetattr calls (Debian #339518).
2067 + fix several bugs in test/bs.c (patch by Stephen Lindholm).
2070 + other minor fixes to cygwin based on tack -TD
2071 + correct smacs in cygwin (Debian #338234, report by Baurzhan
2072 Ismagulov, who noted that it was fixed in Cygwin).
2075 + add shifted up/down arrow codes to xterm-new as kind/kri strings -TD
2076 + modify wbkgrnd() to avoid clearing the A_CHARTEXT attribute bits
2077 since those record the state of multicolumn characters (Debian
2079 + modify werase to clear multicolumn characters that extend into
2080 a derived window (Debian #316663).
2083 + move assignment from environment variable ESCDELAY from initscr()
2084 down to newterm() so the environment variable affects timeouts for
2085 terminals opened with newterm() as well.
2086 + fix a memory leak in keyname().
2087 + add test/demo_altkeys.c
2088 + modify test/demo_defkey.c to exit from loop via 'q' to allow
2089 leak-checking, as well as fix a buffer size in winnstr() call.
2092 + correct order of use-clauses in rxvt-basic entry which made codes for
2093 f1-f4 vt100-style rather than vt220-style (report by Gabor Z Papp).
2094 + suppress configure check for gnatmake if Ada95/Makefile.in is not
2096 + correct a typo in configure --with-bool option for the case where
2097 --without-cxx is used (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
2098 + add a note to INSTALL's discussion of --with-normal, pointing out
2099 that one may wish to use --without-gpm to ensure a completely
2100 static link (prompted by report by Felix von Leitner).
2102 20051010 5.5 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
2105 + document in demo_forms.c some portability issues.
2108 + document side-effect of werase() which sets the cursor position.
2109 + save/restore the current position in form field editing to make
2113 + correct header dependencies in progs, allowing parallel make (report
2114 by Daniel Jacobowitz).
2115 + modify CF_BUILD_CC to ensure that pre-setting $BUILD_CC overrides
2116 the configure check for --with-build-cc (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
2117 + modify CF_CFG_DEFAULTS to not use /usr as the default prefix for
2119 + update config.guess and config.sub from
2120 http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
2123 + modify sed expression which computes path for /usr/lib/terminfo
2124 symbolic link in install to ensure that it does not change unexpected
2125 levels of the path (Gentoo #42336).
2126 + modify default for --disable-lp64 configure option to reduce impact
2127 on existing 64-bit builds. Enabling the _LP64 option may change the
2128 size of chtype and mmask_t. However, for ABI 6, it is enabled by
2129 default (report by Mike Frysinger).
2130 + add configure script check for --enable-ext-mouse, bump ABI to 6 by
2131 default if it is used.
2132 + improve configure script logic for bumping ABI to omit this if the
2133 --with-abi-version option was used.
2134 + update address for Free Software Foundation in tack's source.
2135 + correct wins_wch(), which was not marking the filler-cells of
2136 multi-column characters (cf: 20041023).
2139 + modify mouse initialization to ensure that Gpm_Open() is called only
2140 once. Otherwise GPM gets confused in its initialization of signal
2141 handlers (Debian #326709).
2144 + modify logic for backspacing in a multiline form field to ensure that
2145 it works even when the preceding line is full (report by Frank van
2147 + remove comment about BUGS section of ncurses manpage (Debian #325481)
2150 + document some workarounds for shared and libtool library
2151 configurations in INSTALL (see --with-shared and --with-libtool).
2152 + modify CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GXX_VERSION macros to accommodate
2153 cross-compilers which emit the platform name in their version
2155 arm-sa1100-linux-gnu-g++ (GCC) 4.0.1
2156 (report by Frank van Vugt).
2159 + start updating documentation for upcoming 5.5 release.
2160 + fix to make libtool and libtinfo work together again (cf: 20050122).
2161 + fixes to allow building traces into libtinfo
2162 + add debug trace to tic that shows if/how ncurses will write to the
2163 lower corner of a terminal's screen.
2164 + update llib-l* files.
2167 + modify initializers in c++ binding to build with old versions of g++.
2168 + improve special case for 20050115 repainting fix, ensuring that if
2169 the first changed cell is not a character that the range to be
2170 repainted is adjusted to start at a character's beginning (Debian
2174 + fixes to build on QNX 6.1
2175 + improve configure script checks for Intel 9.0 compiler.
2176 + remove #include's for libc.h (obsolete).
2177 + adjust ifdef's in curses.priv.h so that when cross-compiling to
2178 produce comp_hash and make_keys, no dependency on wchar.h is needed.
2179 That simplifies the build-cppflags (report by Frank van Vugt).
2180 + move modules related to key-binding into libtinfo to fix linkage
2181 problem caused by 20050430 changes to MKkeyname.sh (report by
2182 Konstantin Andreev).
2185 + updates/fixes for configure script macros from vile -TD
2186 + make prism9's sgr string agree with the rest of the terminfo -TD
2187 + make vt220's sgr0 string consistent with sgr string, do this for
2188 several related cases -TD
2189 + improve translation to termcap by filtering the 'me' (sgr0) strings
2190 as in the runtime call to tgetent() (prompted by a discussion with
2192 + improve tic check for sgr0 versus sgr(0), to help ensure that sgr0
2193 resets line-drawing.
2196 + fix special cases for trimming sgr0 for hurd and vt220 (Debian
2198 + split-out _nc_trim_sgr0() from modifications made to tgetent(), to
2199 allow it to be used by tic to provide information about the runtime
2200 changes that would be made to sgr0 for termcap applications.
2201 + modify make_sed.sh to make the group-name in the NAME section of
2202 form/menu library manpage agree with the TITLE string when renaming
2203 is done for Debian (Debian #78866).
2206 + modify parameter type in c++ binding for insch() and mvwinsch() to
2207 be consistent with underlying ncurses library (was char, is chtype).
2208 + modify treatment of Intel compiler to allow _GNU_SOURCE to be defined
2210 + improve configure check for nanosleep(), checking that it works since
2211 some older systems such as AIX 4.3 have a nonworking version.
2214 + update config.guess and config.sub from
2215 http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
2216 + modify misc/shlib to work in test-directory.
2217 + suppress $suffix in misc/run_tic.sh when cross-compiling. This
2218 allows cross-compiles to use the host's tic program to handle the
2219 "make install.data" step.
2220 + improve description of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables in manpages
2221 (prompted by report by Dave Ulrick).
2222 + improve description of cross-compiling in INSTALL
2223 + add NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html by Pradeep Padala
2224 (see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/).
2225 + modify configure script to obtain soname for GPM library (discussion
2226 with Daniel Jacobowitz).
2227 + modify configure script so that --with-chtype option will still
2228 compute the unsigned literals suffix for constants in curses.h
2229 (report by Daniel Jacobowitz:
2230 + patches from Daniel Jacobowitz:
2231 + the man_db.renames entry for tack.1 was backwards.
2232 + tack.1 had some 1m's that should have been 1M's.
2233 + the section for curs_inwstr.3 was wrong.
2236 + correction to --with-chtype option (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
2239 + move build-time edit_man.sh and edit_man.sed scripts to top directory
2240 to simplify reusing them for renaming tack's manpage (prompted by a
2241 review of Debian package).
2242 + revert minor optimization from 20041030 (Debian #313609).
2243 + libtool-specific fixes, tested with libtool 1.4.3, 1.5.0, 1.5.6,
2244 1.5.10 and 1.5.18 (all work except as noted previously for the c++
2245 install using libtool 1.5.0):
2246 + modify the clean-rule in c++/Makefile.in to work with IRIX64 make
2248 + use $(LIBTOOL_UNINSTALL) symbol, overlooked in 20030830
2249 + add configure options --with-chtype and --with-mmask-t, to allow
2250 overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of the corresponding types.
2251 + revise test for size of chtype (and mmask_t), which always returned
2252 "long" due to an uninitialized variable (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
2255 + change _tracef's that used "%p" format for va_list values to ignore
2256 that, since on some platforms those are not pointers.
2257 + fixes for long-formats in printf's due to largefile support.
2260 + fixes for termcap support:
2261 + reset pointer to _nc_curr_token.tk_name when the input stream is
2262 closed, which could point to free memory (cf: 20030215).
2263 + delink TERMTYPE data which is used by the termcap reader, so that
2264 extended names data will be freed consistently.
2265 + free pointer to TERMTYPE data in _nc_free_termtype() rather than
2267 + add some entrypoints for freeing permanently allocated data via
2268 _nc_freeall() when NO_LEAKS is defined.
2269 + amend 20041030 change to _nc_do_color to ensure that optimization is
2270 applied only when the terminal supports back_color_erase (bce).
2273 + add sun-color terminfo entry -TD
2274 + correct a missing assignment in c++ binding's method
2275 NCursesPanel::UserPointer() from 20050409 changes.
2276 + improve configure check for large-files, adding check for dirent64
2278 + minor change to configure script to improve linker options for the
2282 + document error conditions for ncurses library functions (report by
2284 + regenerated html documentation for ada binding.
2285 see ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/gnathtml
2288 + regenerated html documentation for manpages.
2289 + add $(BUILD_EXEEXT) suffix to invocation of make_keys in
2290 ncurses/Makefile (Gentoo #89772).
2291 + modify c++/demo.cc to build with g++ -fno-implicit-templates option
2292 (patch by Mike Frysinger).
2293 + modify tic to filter out long extended names when translating to
2294 termcap format. Only two characters are permissible for termcap
2298 + modify terminfo entries xterm-new and rxvt to add strings for
2299 shift-, control-cursor keys.
2300 + workaround to allow c++ binding to compile with g++ 2.95.3, which
2301 has a broken implementation of static_cast<> (patch by Jeff Chua).
2302 + modify initialization of key lookup table so that if an extended
2303 capability (tic -x) string is defined, and its name begins with 'k',
2304 it will automatically be treated as a key.
2305 + modify test/keynames.c to allow for the possibility of extended
2306 key names, e.g., via define_key(), or via "tic -x".
2307 + add test/demo_termcap.c to show the contents of given entry via the
2311 + minor fixes for vt100/vt52 entries -TD
2312 + add configure option --enable-largefile
2313 + corrected libraries used to build Ada95/gen/gen, found in testing
2317 + update config.guess, config.sub
2318 + modify configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, disable that on
2319 Darwin whose header files have problems (patch by Chris Zubrzycki).
2320 + modify form library Is_Printable_String() to use iswprint() rather
2321 than wcwidth() for determining if a character is printable. The
2322 latter caused it to reject menu items containing non-spacing
2324 + modify ncurses test program's F-test to handle non-spacing characters
2325 by combining them with a reverse-video blank.
2326 + review/fix several gcc -Wconversion warnings.
2329 + correct an off-by-one error in m_driver() for mouse-clicks used to
2330 position the mouse to a particular item.
2331 + implement test/demo_menus.c
2332 + add some checks in lib_mouse to ensure SP is set.
2333 + modify C++ binding to make 20050403 changes work with the configure
2334 --enable-const option.
2337 + modify start_color() to return ERR if it cannot allocate memory.
2338 + address g++ compiler warnings in C++ binding by adding explicit
2339 member initialization, assignment operators and copy constructors.
2340 Most of the changes simply preserve the existing semantics of the
2341 binding, which can leak memory, etc., but by making these features
2342 visible, it provides a framework for improving the binding.
2343 + improve C++ binding using static_cast, etc.
2344 + modify configure script --enable-warnings to add options to g++ to
2345 correspond to the gcc --enable-warnings.
2346 + modify C++ binding to use some C internal functions to make it
2347 compile properly on Solaris (and other platforms).
2350 + amend change from 20050320 to limit it to configurations with a
2352 + fix a bug introduced in 20050320 which broke the translation of
2353 nonprinting characters to uparrow form (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
2356 + add ifdef's for _LP64 in curses.h to avoid using wasteful 64-bits for
2357 chtype and mmask_t, but add configure option --disable-lp64 in case
2358 anyone used that configuration.
2359 + update misc/shlib script to account for Mac OS X (report by Michail
2361 + correct comparison for wrapping multibyte characters in
2362 waddch_literal() (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
2365 + add -c and -w options to tset to allow user to suppress ncurses'
2366 resizing of the terminal emulator window in the special case where it
2367 is not able to detect the true size (report by Win Delvaux, Debian
2369 + modify waddch_nosync() to account for locale zn_CH.GBK, which uses
2370 codes 128-159 as part of multibyte characters (report by Wang
2371 WenRui, Debian #300512).
2374 + modify ncurses.c 'd' test to make it work with 88-color
2375 configuration, i.e., by implementing scrolling.
2376 + improve scrolling in ncurses.c 'c' and 'C' tests, e.g., for 88-color
2380 + change tracemunch to use strict checking.
2381 + modify ncurses.c 'p' test to test line-drawing within a pad.
2382 + implement environment variable NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS to support
2383 miscellaneous terminal emulators which ignore alternate character
2384 set escape sequences when in UTF-8 mode.
2387 + change NCursesWindow::err_handler() to a virtual function (request by
2389 + modify fty_int.c and fty_num.c to handle wide characters (report by
2391 + adapt fix for fty_alpha.c to fty_alnum.c, which also handled normal
2392 and wide characters inconsistently (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
2393 + update llib-* files to reflect internal interface additions/changes.
2396 + improve test/configure script, adding tests for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc.,
2398 + add aixterm-16color terminfo entry -TD
2399 + modified xterm-new terminfo entry to work with tgetent() changes -TD
2400 + extended changes in tgetent() from 20040710 to allow the substring of
2401 sgr0 which matches rmacs to be at the beginning of the sgr0 string
2402 (request by Thomas Wolff). Wolff says the visual effect in
2403 combination with pre-20040710 ncurses is improved.
2404 + fix off-by-one in winnstr() call which caused form field validation
2405 of multibyte characters to ignore the last character in a field.
2406 + correct logic in winsch() for inserting multibyte strings; the code
2407 would clear cells after the insertion rather than push them to the
2408 right (cf: 20040228).
2409 + fix an inconsistency in Check_Alpha_Field() between normal and wide
2410 character logic (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
2413 + fix a bug in editing wide-characters in form library: deleting a
2414 nonwide character modified the previous wide-character.
2415 + update manpage to describe NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2.
2416 + correct manpage description of mouseinterval() (Debian #280687).
2417 + add a note to default_colors.3x explaining why this extension was
2418 added (Debian #295083).
2419 + add traces to panel library.
2422 + improve editing of wide-characters in form library: left/right
2423 cursor movement, and single-character deletions work properly.
2424 + disable GPM mouse support when $TERM happens to be prefixed with
2425 "xterm". Gpm_Open() would otherwise assert that it can deal with
2426 mouse events in this case.
2427 + modify GPM mouse support so it closes the server connection when
2428 the caller disables the mouse (report by Stanislav Ievlev).
2431 + add traces for callback functions in form library.
2432 + add experimental configure option --enable-ext-mouse, which defines
2433 NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies the encoding of mouse events to
2434 support wheel mice, which may transmit buttons 4 and 5. This works
2435 with xterm and similar X terminal emulators (prompted by question by
2436 Andreas Henningsson, this is also related to Debian #230990).
2437 + improve configure macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE to
2438 avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin.
2441 + merge remaining development changes for extended colors (mostly
2442 complete, does not appear to break other configurations).
2443 + add xterm-88color.dat (part of extended colors testing).
2444 + improve _tracedump() handling of color pairs past 96.
2445 + modify return-value from start_color() to return OK if colors have
2446 already been started.
2447 + modify curs_color.3x list error conditions for init_pair(),
2448 pair_content() and color_content().
2449 + modify pair_content() to return -1 for consistency with init_pair()
2450 if it corresponds to the default-color.
2451 + change internal representation of default-color to allow application
2452 to use color number 255. This does not affect the total number of
2453 color pairs which are allowed.
2454 + add a top-level tags rule.
2457 + add a null-pointer check in wgetch() in case it is called without
2458 first calling initscr().
2459 + add some null-pointer checks for SP, which is not set by libtinfo.
2460 + modify misc/shlib to ensure that absolute pathnames are used.
2461 + modify test/Makefile.in, etc., to link test programs only against the
2462 libraries needed, e.g., omit form/menu/panel library for the ones
2463 that are curses-specific.
2464 + change SP->_current_attr to a pointer, adjust ifdef's to ensure that
2465 libtinfo.so and libtinfow.so have the same ABI. The reason for this
2466 is that the corresponding data which belongs to the upper-level
2467 ncurses library has a different size in each model (report by
2471 + minor fixes to allow test-compiles with g++.
2472 + correct column value shown in tic's warnings, which did not account
2473 for leading whitespace.
2474 + add a check in _nc_trans_string() for improperly ended strings, i.e.,
2475 where a following line begins in column 1.
2476 + modify _nc_save_str() to return a null pointer on buffer overflow.
2477 + improve repainting while scrolling wide-character data (Eungkyu Song).
2480 + merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
2483 + merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
2484 + fix manpage typo (FreeBSD report docs/75544).
2485 + update config.guess, config.sub
2486 > patches for configure script (Albert Chin-A-Young):
2487 + improved fix to make mbstate_t recognized on HPUX 11i (cf:
2488 20030705), making vsscanf() prototype visible on IRIX64. Tested for
2489 on HP-UX 11i, Solaris 7, 8, 9, AIX 4.3.3, 5.2, Tru64 UNIX 4.0D, 5.1,
2490 IRIX64 6.5, Redhat Linux 7.1, 9, and RHEL 2.1, 3.0.
2491 + print the result of the --disable-home-terminfo option.
2492 + use -rpath when compiling with SGI C compiler.
2495 + add trace calls to remaining public functions in form and menu
2497 + fix check for numeric digits in test/ncurses.c 'b' and 'B' tests.
2498 + fix typo in test/ncurses.c 'c' test from 20041218.
2501 + revise test/ncurses.c 'c' color test to improve use for xterm-88color
2502 and xterm-256color, added 'C' test using the wide-character color_set
2503 and attr_set functions.
2506 + modify configure script to work with Intel compiler.
2507 + fix an limit-check in wadd_wchnstr() which caused labels in the
2508 forms-demo to be one character short.
2509 + fix typo in curs_addchstr.3x (Jared Yanovich).
2510 + add trace calls to most functions in form and menu libraries.
2511 + update working-position for adding wide-characters when window is
2512 scrolled (prompted by related report by Eungkyu Song).
2515 + replace some references on Linux to wcrtomb() which use it to obtain
2516 the length of a multibyte string with _nc_wcrtomb, since wcrtomb() is
2517 broken in glibc (see Debian #284260).
2518 + corrected length-computation in wide-character support for
2520 + some fixes to frm_driver.c to allow it to accept multibyte input.
2521 + modify configure script to work with Intel 8.0 compiler.
2524 + amend change to setupterm() in 20030405 which would reuse the value
2525 of cur_term if the same output was selected. This now reuses it only
2526 when setupterm() is called from tgetent(), which has no notion of
2527 separate SCREENs. Note that tgetent() must be called after initscr()
2528 or newterm() to use this feature (Redhat Bugzilla #140326).
2529 + add a check in CF_BUILD_CC macro to ensure that developer has given
2530 the --with-build-cc option when cross-compiling (report by Alexandre
2532 + improved configure script checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE and
2533 _POSIX_C_SOURCE (fix for IRIX 5.3 from Georg Schwarz, _POSIX_C_SOURCE
2535 + cosmetic fix to test/gdc.c to recolor the bottom edge of the box
2536 for consistency (comment by Dan Nelson).
2539 + update wsvt25 terminfo entry -TD
2540 + modify test/ins_wide.c to test all flavors of ins_wstr().
2541 + ignore filler-cells in wadd_wchnstr() when adding a cchar_t array
2542 which consists of multi-column characters, since this function
2543 constructs them (cf: 20041023).
2544 + modify winnstr() to return multibyte character strings for the
2545 wide-character configuration.
2548 + fixes to make slk_set() and slk_wset() accept and store multibyte
2549 or multicolumn characters.
2552 + improve color optimization a little by making _nc_do_color() check
2553 if the old/new pairs are equivalent to the default pair 0.
2554 + modify assume_default_colors() to not require that
2555 use_default_colors() be called first.
2558 + modify term_attrs() to use termattrs(), add the extended attributes
2559 such as enter_horizontal_hl_mode for WA_HORIZONTAL to term_attrs().
2560 + add logic in waddch_literal() to clear orphaned cells when one
2561 multi-column character partly overwrites another.
2562 + improved logic for clearing cells when a multi-column character
2563 must be wrapped to a new line.
2564 + revise storage of cells for multi-column characters to correct a
2565 problem with repainting. In the old scheme, it was possible for
2566 doupdate() to decide that only part of a multi-column character
2567 should be repainted since the filler cells stored only an attribute
2568 to denote them as fillers, rather than the character value and the
2572 + minor fixes for traces.
2573 + add SP->_screen_acs_map[], used to ensure that mapping of missing
2574 line-drawing characters is handled properly. For example, ACS_DARROW
2575 is absent from xterm-new, and it was coincidentally displayed the
2579 + amend 20021221 workaround for broken acs to reset the sgr, rmacs
2580 and smacs strings as well. Also modify the check for screen's
2581 limitations in that area to allow the multi-character shift-in
2582 and shift-out which seem to work.
2583 + change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it dynamically
2584 at runtime (Debian #110586).
2587 + correct logic for color pair in setcchar() and getcchar() (patch by
2588 Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
2589 + add t/T commands to ncurses b/B tests to allow a different color to
2590 be tested for the attrset part of the test than is used in the
2594 + fix to make setcchar() to work when its wchar_t* parameter is
2595 pointing to a string which contains more data than can be converted.
2596 + modify wget_wstr() and example in ncurses.c to work if wchar_t and
2597 wint_t are different sizes (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
2600 + remove check in wget_wch() added to fix an infinite loop, appears to
2601 have been working around a transitory glibc bug, and interferes
2602 with normal operation (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
2603 + correct wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not pass the rendition
2604 information (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
2605 + fix aclocal.m4 so that the wide-character version of ncurses gets
2606 compiled as libncursesw.5.dylib, instead of libncurses.5w.dylib
2607 (adapted from patch by James J Ramsey).
2608 + change configure script for --with-caps option to indicate that it
2609 is no longer experimental.
2610 + change configure script to reflect the fact that --enable-widec has
2611 not been "experimental" since 5.3 (report by Bruno Lustosa).
2614 + add 'B' test to ncurses.c, to exercise some wide-character functions.
2617 + modify infocmp -i option to match 8-bit controls against its table
2618 entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry.
2619 + add morphos terminfo entry, improve amiga-8bit entry (Pavel Fedin).
2620 + correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap, e.g.,
2621 using "tic -C" (Redhat Bugzilla #130921).
2622 + modified configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to ensure that if
2623 it defines _POSIX_C_SOURCE, that it defines it to a specific value
2624 (comp.os.stratus newsgroup comment).
2627 + fixes to build with Ada95 binding with gnat 3.4 (all warnings are
2628 fatal, and gnat does not follow the guidelines for pragmas).
2629 However that did find a coding error in Assume_Default_Colors().
2630 + modify several terminfo entries to ensure xterm mouse and cursor
2631 visibility are reset in rs2 string: hurd, putty, gnome,
2632 konsole-base, mlterm, Eterm, screen (Debian #265784, #55637). The
2633 xterm entries are left alone - old ones for compatibility, and the
2634 new ones do not require this change. -TD
2637 + fake a SIGWINCH in newterm() to accommodate buggy terminal emulators
2638 and window managers (Debian #265631).
2639 > terminfo updates -TD
2640 + remove dch/dch1 from rxvt because they are implemented inconsistently
2641 with the common usage of bce/ech
2642 + remove khome from vt220 (vt220's have no home key)
2646 + modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test, adding v/V toggles to cycle through
2647 combinations of video attributes so that for instance bold and
2648 underline can be tested. This made the legend too crowded, added
2649 a help window as well.
2650 + modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test to cycle through default colors if
2651 the -d option is set.
2652 + update putty terminfo entry (Robert de Bath).
2655 + modify test/cardfile.c to allow it to read more data than can be
2657 + correct logic in resizeterm.c which kept it from processing all
2658 levels of window hierarchy (reports by Folkert van Heusden,
2662 + modify "tic -cv" to ignore delays when comparing strings. Also
2663 modify it to ignore a canceled sgr string, e.g., for terminals which
2664 cannot properly combine attributes in one control sequence.
2665 + corrections for gnome and konsole entries (Redhat Bugzilla #122815,

2694 + modify logic in tgetent() which adjusts the termcap "me" string
2695 to work with ISO-2022 string used in xterm-new (cf: 20010908).

2722 cross-compiling from a separate directory tree (report/patch by
2724 + modify is_term_resized() to ensure that window sizes are nonzero,
2725 as documented in the manpage (report by Ian Collier).
2726 + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro to make Hurd port build
2727 (Debian #249214, report/patch by Jeff Bailey).
2728 + configure-script mods from xterm, e.g., updates to CF_ADD_CFLAGS
2729 + update config.guess, config.sub
2730 > terminfo updates -TD
2732 + add xterm-xf86-v44
2733 + modify xterm-new aka xterm-xfree86 to accommodate luit, which
2734 relies on G1 being used via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (report by
2739 + reconsidered winsnstr(), decided after comparing other
2740 implementations that wrapping is an X/Open documentation error.
2741 + modify test/inserts.c to test all flavors of insstr().
2744 + add setlocale() calls to a few test programs which may require it:
2745 demo_forms.c, filter.c, ins_wide.c, inserts.c
2746 + correct a few misspelled function names in ncurses-intro.html (report
2748 + correct internal name of key_defined() manpage, which conflicted with
2752 + correct size of internal pad used for holding wide-character
2753 field_buffer() results.
2754 + modify data_ahead() to work with wide-characters.
2757 + improve description of terminfo if-then-else expressions (suggested
2759 + improve test/ncurses.c 'd' test, allow it to use external file for
2760 initial palette (added xterm-16color.dat and linux-color.dat), and
2761 reset colors to the initial palette when starting/ending the test.
2762 + change limit-check in init_color() to allow r/g/b component to
2763 reach 1000 (cf: 20020928).
2766 + modify form library to use cchar_t's rather than char's in the
2767 wide-character configuration for storing data for field buffers.
2768 + correct logic of win_wchnstr(), which did not work for more than
2772 + replace memset/memcpy usage in form library with for-loops to
2773 simplify changing the datatype of FIELD.buf, part of wide-character
2775 + fix some inconsistent use of #if/#ifdef (report by Alain Guibert).
2778 + modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by
2779 multibyte character strings, in the wide-character configuration
2780 (adapted from patch by Philipp Tomsich).
2781 + add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F"
2782 comparisons. This modifies infocmp to only report extended
2783 capabilities if the -x option is given, making this more consistent
2784 with tic. Some scripts may break, since infocmp previous gave this
2785 information without an option.
2786 + modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the beginning
2787 of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic.
2790 + minor compiler-warning and test-program fixes.
2793 + modify tic's missing-sgr warning to apply to terminfo only.
2794 + free some memory leaks in tic.
2795 + remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending
2796 beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner).
2797 + remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
2798 that extend beyond the screen. Solaris curses does this.
2799 + add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older
2801 + add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog.
2804 + modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond
2805 to an unsigned char.
2806 + add some limit-checks to guard isprint(), etc., from being used on
2807 values that do not fit into an unsigned char (report by Sami Farin).
2810 + fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change.
2813 + modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's
2814 current locale rather than using getenv(). This fixes a case in tin
2815 which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale
2816 is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen).
2817 + add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD.
2818 + add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr
2819 string. This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with
2820 color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places.
2821 + correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the
2822 original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before
2823 20030802 (Debian #237629).
2826 + modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of
2827 A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from
2828 being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the
2829 raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879).
2832 + fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report
2834 + remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses
2835 some apropos script (Debian #237831).
2838 + modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text,
2839 set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing
2840 mode is shown in that test.
2841 + change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake.
2842 + correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which
2843 did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419).
2846 + modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a
2848 + split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it. X/Open states
2849 that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other
2850 insert-functions. Currently it does not wrap.
2851 + check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by
2853 + split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first.
2854 + fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC,
2855 which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report
2856 by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev).
2859 + some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete
2860 (request by Mike Aubury).
2861 + add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of
2863 #define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0
2865 (discussion on XFree86 mailing list).
2868 + modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets
2869 the name of the terminfo library. This would allow a packager to
2870 build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion
2871 with Stanislav Ievlev).
2872 + improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and
2873 $(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew).
2874 + add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename
2875 its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to
2876 ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory
2877 (prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs).
2879 20040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
2882 20040207 pre-release
2883 + minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param,
2884 and do not count %d if it follows a %p.
2885 + correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255
2886 range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests. In POSIX
2887 locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former
2889 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac
2890 OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix
2891 verified by Scott Corscadden).
2893 20040131 pre-release
2894 + modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors
2895 to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo
2896 (patch by Stanislav Ievlev).
2897 + document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage.
2898 + document special features of unctrl() in manpage.
2899 + documented interface changes in INSTALL.
2900 + corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale
2901 (Debian #230335, cf: 971206).
2902 + updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
2903 + fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package.
2904 + minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5.
2906 20040125 pre-release
2907 + amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number
2908 of cells for a possibly multi-cell character. The 20030614 change
2909 forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not
2910 greater than zero. However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the
2911 range 128-255 can give this return value. The logic now simply
2912 ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without
2913 modifying the displayed value.
2915 20040124 pre-release
2916 + looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above)
2917 + modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since
2918 that works better for cross-compiling.
2920 20040117 pre-release
2921 + modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
2922 work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
2923 zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
2924 + add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
2925 to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
2926 + add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
2927 + add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
2929 + modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
2930 (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz (see Debian
2932 + correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
2933 exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss (see Debian #224443)).
2934 + modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
2935 + remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
2936 + make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
2937 + improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
2938 CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
2939 + add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
2940 simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
2941 + add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
2942 patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
2943 + fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
2945 + resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
2946 NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
2947 + make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
2948 will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
2949 + rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool. The
2950 intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
2951 compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
2952 does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).
2954 20040110 pre-release
2955 + change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4
2956 + revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W
2958 + simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the
2959 configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav
2961 + remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav
2963 + modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs
2964 such as tic are not linked with the upper-level ncurses library
2965 (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
2966 + move version.c from ncurses/base to ncurses/tinfo to allow linking
2967 of tic, etc., using libtinfo (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
2970 + adjust -D's to build ncursesw on OpenBSD.
2971 + modify CF_PROG_EXT to make OS/2 build with EXEEXT.
2972 + add pecho_wchar().
2973 + remove <wctype.h> include from lib_slk_wset.c which is not needed (or
2974 available) on older platforms.
2977 + add -D's to build ncursew on FreeBSD 5.1.
2978 + modify shared library configuration for FreeBSD 4.x/5.x to add the
2979 soname information (request by Marc Glisse).
2980 + modify _nc_read_tic_entry() to not use MAX_ALIAS, but PATH_MAX only
2981 for limiting the length of a filename in the terminfo database.
2982 + modify termname() to return the terminal name used by setupterm()
2983 rather than $TERM, without truncating to 14 characters as documented
2984 by X/Open (report by Stanislav Ievlev, cf: 970719).
2985 + re-add definition for _BSD_TYPES, lost in merge (cf: 20031206).
2988 + add configure option --with-manpage-format=catonly to address
2989 behavior of BSDI, allow install of man+cat files on NetBSD, whose
2990 behavior has diverged by requiring both to be present.
2991 + remove leading blanks from comment-lines in manlinks.sed script to
2992 work with Tru64 4.0d.
2993 + add screen.linux terminfo entry (discussion on mutt-users mailing
2997 + add a check for tic to flag missing backslashes for termcap
2998 continuation lines. ncurses reads the whole entry, but termcap
2999 applications do not.
3000 + add configure option "--with-manpage-aliases" extending
3001 "--with-manpage-aliases" to provide the option of generating ".so"
3002 files rather than symbolic links for manpage aliases.
3003 + add bool definition in include/curses.h.in for configurations with no
3004 usable C++ compiler (cf: 20030607).
3005 + fix pathname of SigAction.h for building with --srcdir (reported by
3009 + folded ncurses/base/sigaction.c into includes of ncurses/SigAction.h,
3010 since that header is used only within ncurses/tty/lib_tstp.c, for
3011 non-POSIX systems (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev).
3012 + remove obsolete _nc_outstr() function (report by Stanislav Ievlev
3013 <inger@altlinux.org>).
3014 + add test/background.c and test/color_set.c
3015 + modify color_set() function to work with color pair 0 (report by
3016 George Andreou <gbandreo@tem.uoc.gr>).
3017 + add configure option --with-trace, since defining TRACE seems too
3018 awkward for some cases.
3019 + remove a call to _nc_free_termtype() from read_termtype(), since the
3020 corresponding buffer contents were already zeroed by a memset (cf:
3022 + improve configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and related definitions,
3023 adding special cases for Solaris' __EXTENSIONS__ and FreeBSD's
3024 __BSD_TYPES (reports by Marc Glisse <marc.glisse@normalesup.org>).
3025 + small fixes to compile on Solaris and IRIX64 using cc.
3026 + correct typo in check for pre-POSIX sort options in MKkey_defs.sh
3030 + modify _nc_gettime() to avoid a problem with arithmetic on unsigned
3031 values (Philippe Blain).
3032 + improve the nanosleep() logic in napms() by checking for EINTR and
3033 restarting (Philippe Blain).
3034 + correct expression for "%D" in lib_tgoto.c (Juha Jarvi
3038 + add linux-vt terminfo entry (Andrey V Lukyanov <land@long.yar.ru>).
3039 + allow "\|" escape in terminfo; tic should not warn about this.
3040 + save the full pathname of the trace-file the first time it is opened,
3041 to avoid creating it in different directories if the application
3042 opens and closes it while changing its working directory.
3043 + modify configure script to provide a non-empty default for
3047 + add DJGPP to special case of DOS-style drive letters potentially
3048 appearing in TERMCAP environment variable.
3049 + fix some spelling in comments (reports by Jason McIntyre, Jonathon
3051 + update config.guess, config.sub
3054 + fix a memory leak in error-return from setupterm() (report by
3055 Stanislav Ievlev <inger@altlinux.org>).
3056 + use EXEEXT and OBJEXT consistently in makefiles.
3057 + amend fixes for cross-compiling to use separate executable-suffix
3058 BUILD_EXEEXT (cf: 20031018).
3059 + modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for sort utility that does not
3060 recognize key options, e.g., busybox (report by Peter S Mazinger
3062 + fix potential out-of-bounds indexing in _nc_infotocap() (found by
3063 David Krause using some of the new malloc debugging features
3064 under OpenBSD, patch by Ted Unangst).
3065 + modify CF_LIB_SUFFIX for Itanium releases of HP-UX, which use a
3066 ".so" suffix (patch by Jonathan Ward <Jonathan.Ward@hp.com>).
3069 + update terminfo for xterm-xfree86 -TD
3070 + add check for multiple "tc=" clauses in a termcap to tic.
3071 + check for missing op/oc in tic.
3072 + correct _nc_resolve_uses() and _nc_merge_entry() to allow infocmp and
3073 tic to show cancelled capabilities. These functions were ignoring
3074 the state of the target entry, which should be untouched if cancelled.
3075 + correct comment in tack/output.c (Debian #215806).
3076 + add some null-pointer checks to lib_options.c (report by Michael
3078 + regenerated html documentation.
3079 + correction to tar-copy.sh, remove a trap command that resulted in
3080 leaving temporary files (cf: 20030510).
3081 + remove contact/maintainer addresses for Juergen Pfeifer (his request).
3084 + updated test/configure to reflect changes for libtool (cf: 20030830).
3085 + fix several places in tack/pad.c which tested and used the parameter-
3086 and parameterless strings inconsistently, i.e., in pad_rin(),
3087 pad_il(), pad_indn() and pad_dl() (Debian #215805).
3088 + minor fixes for configure script and makefiles to cleanup executables
3089 generated when cross-compiling for DJGPP.
3090 + modify infocmp to omit check for $TERM for operations that do not
3091 require it, e.g., "infocmp -e" used to build fallback list (report by
3095 + add terminfo entries for DJGPP.
3096 + updated note about maintainer in ncurses-intro.html
3099 + update terminfo entries for gnome terminal.
3100 + modify tack to reset colors after each color test, correct a place
3101 where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode.
3102 + improve tack's bce test by making it set colors other than black
3104 + plug a potential recursion between napms() and _nc_timed_wait()
3105 (report by Philippe Blain).
3108 + add --with-rel-version option to allow workaround to allow making
3109 libtool on Darwin generate the "same" library names as with the
3110 --with-shared option. The Darwin ld program does not work well
3111 with a zero as the minor-version value (request by Chris Zubrzycki).
3112 + modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro to work with cross-compiling.
3113 + modify tack to allow it to run from fallback terminfo data.
3114 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3115 + improve PutRange() by adjusting call to EmitRange() and corresponding
3116 return-value to not emit unchanged characters on the end of the
3118 + improve a check for changed-attribute by exiting a loop when the
3120 + improve logic in TransformLine(), eliminating a duplicated comparison
3121 in the clr_bol logic.
3124 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3125 + in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
3126 move the label 'nonlocal' just before the second gettimeofday() to
3127 be able to compute the diff time when 'goto nonlocal' used.
3128 Rename 'msec' to 'microsec' in the debug-message.
3129 + in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
3130 Use _nc_outch() in carriage return/newline movement instead of
3131 putchar() which goes to stdout. Move test for xold>0 out of loop.
3132 + in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c,
3133 Set the flag SP->_buffered at the end of operations when all has been
3134 successful (typeMalloc can fail).
3135 + simplify NC_BUFFERED macro by moving check inside _nc_setbuf().
3138 + modify configure script to avoid using "head -1", which does not
3139 work if POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set.
3140 + modify run_tic.in to avoid using wrong shared libraries when
3141 cross-compiling (Dan Kegel).
3144 + alter configure script help message to make it clearer that
3145 --with-build-cc does not specify a cross-compiler (suggested by Dan
3146 Kegel <dank@kegel.com>).
3147 + modify configure script to accommodate libtool 1.5, as well as add an
3148 parameter to the "--with-libtool" option which can specify the
3149 pathname of libtool (report by Chris Zubrzycki). We note that
3150 libtool 1.5 has more than one bug in its C++ support, so it is not
3151 able to install libncurses++, for instance, if $DESTDIR or the option
3152 --with-install-prefix is used.
3155 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3156 + move assignments to SP->_cursrow, SP->_curscol into online_mvcur().
3157 + make baudrate computation in delay_output() consistent with the
3158 assumption in _nc_mvcur_init(), i.e., a byte is 9 bits.
3161 + modify logic in waddch_literal() to take into account zh_TW.Big5
3162 whose multibyte sequences may contain "printable" characters, e.g.,
3163 a "g" in the sequence "\247g" (Debian #204889, cf: 20030621).
3164 + improve storage used by _nc_safe_strcpy() by ensuring that the size
3165 is reset based on the initialization call, in case it were called
3166 after other strcpy/strcat calls (report by Philippe Blain).
3167 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3168 + remove an unused ifdef for REAL_ATTR & WANT_CHAR
3169 + correct a place where _cup_cost was used rather than _cuu_cost
3172 + fix a small memory leak in _nc_free_termtype().
3173 + close trace-file if trace() is called with a zero parameter.
3174 + free memory allocated for soft-key strings, in delscreen().
3175 + fix an allocation size in safe_sprintf.c for the "*" format code.
3176 + correct safe_sprintf.c to not return a null pointer if the format
3177 happens to be an empty string. This applies to the "configure
3178 --enable-safe-sprintf" option (Redhat #101486).
3181 + modify casts used for ABSENT_BOOLEAN and CANCELLED_BOOLEAN (report by
3183 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3184 + change padding for change_scroll_region to not be proportional to
3185 the size of the scroll-region.
3186 + correct error-return in _nc_safe_strcat().
3189 + correct limit-checks in _nc_scroll_window() (report and test-case by
3190 Thomas Graf <graf@dms.at> cf: 20011020).
3191 + re-order configure checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE to avoid conflict with
3195 + use clr_eol in preference to blanks for bce terminals, so select and
3196 paste will have fewer trailing blanks, e.g., when using xterm
3197 (request by Vincent Lefevre).
3198 + correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
3199 + add configure --with-abi-version option (discussion with Charles
3201 > cygwin changes from Charles Wilson:
3202 + aclocal.m4: on cygwin, use autodetected prefix for import
3203 and static lib, but use "cyg" for DLL.
3204 + include/ncurses_dll.h: correct the comments to reflect current
3205 status of cygwin/mingw port. Fix compiler warning.
3206 + misc/run_tic.in: ensure that tic.exe can find the uninstalled
3207 DLL, by adding the lib-directory to the PATH variable.
3208 + misc/terminfo.src (nxterm|xterm-color): make xterm-color
3209 primary instead of nxterm, to match XFree86's xterm.terminfo
3210 usage and to prevent circular links.
3211 (rxvt): add additional codes from rxvt.org.
3212 (rxvt-color): new alias
3213 (rxvt-xpm): new alias
3214 (rxvt-cygwin): like rxvt, but with special acsc codes.
3215 (rxvt-cygwin-native): ditto. rxvt may be run under XWindows, or
3216 with a "native" MSWin GUI. Each takes different acsc codes,
3217 which are both different from the "normal" rxvt's acsc.
3218 (cygwin): cygwin-in-cmd.exe window. Lots of fixes.
3220 + mk-1st.awk: use "cyg" for the DLL prefix, but "lib" for import
3224 + update config.guess, config.sub
3225 + add triples for configuring shared libraries with the Debian
3226 GNU/FreeBSD packages (patch by Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>).
3229 + modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS so it only applies to gcc, not g++. Some
3230 platforms have installed g++ along with the native C compiler, which
3231 would not accept gcc warning options.
3232 + add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 when configuring with --enable-widec, to
3233 get mbstate_t declaration on HPUX 11.11 (report by David Ellement).
3234 + add _nc_pathlast() to get rid of casts in _nc_basename() calls.
3235 + correct a sign-extension in wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() from
3236 20030628 (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
3237 + work around omission of btowc() and wctob() from wide-character
3238 support (sic) in NetBSD 1.6 using mbtowc() and wctomb() (report by
3240 + add portability note to curs_get_wstr.3x (Debian #199957).
3243 + rewrite wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to call waddch() and wechochar()
3244 respectively, to avoid calling waddch_noecho() with wide-character
3245 data, since that function assumes its input is 8-bit data.
3246 Similarly, modify waddnwstr() to call wadd_wch().
3247 + remove logic from waddnstr() which transformed multibyte character
3248 strings into wide-characters. Rewrite of waddch_literal() from
3249 20030621 assumes its input is raw multibyte data rather than wide
3250 characters (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
3253 + write getyx() and related 2-return macros in terms of getcury(),
3255 + modify waddch_literal() in case an application passes bytes of a
3256 multibyte character directly to waddch(). In this case, waddch()
3257 must reassemble the bytes into a wide-character (report by Tomohiro
3258 Kubota <kubota@debian.org>).
3261 + modify waddch_literal() in case a multibyte value occupies more than
3263 + modify PutAttrChar() to compute the number of character cells that
3264 are used in multibyte values. This fixes a problem displaying
3265 double-width characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen
3266 <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
3267 + add a null-pointer check for result of keyname() in _tracechar()
3268 + modify _tracechar() to work around glibc sprintf bug.
3271 + add a call to setlocale() in cursesmain.cc, making demo display
3272 properly in a UTF-8 locale.
3273 + add a fallback definition in curses.priv.h for MB_LEN_MAX (prompted
3274 by discussion with Gabor Z Papp).
3275 + use macros NCURSES_ACS() and NCURSES_WACS() to hide cast needed to
3276 appease -Wchar-subscript with g++ 3.3 (Debian #195732).
3277 + fix a redefinition of $RANLIB in the configure script when libtool
3278 is used, which broke configure on Mac OS X (report by Chris Zubrzycki
3280 + simplify ifdef for bool declaration in curses.h.in (suggested by
3281 Albert Chin-A-Young).
3282 + remove configure script check to allow -Wconversion for older
3283 versions of gcc (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young).
3286 + regenerated html manpages.
3287 + modify ifdef's in curses.h.in that disabled use of __attribute__()
3288 for g++, since recent versions implement the cases which ncurses uses
3290 + modify _nc_get_token() to handle a case where an entry has no
3291 description, and capabilities begin on the same line as the entry
3293 + fix a typo in ncurses_dll.h reported by gcc 3.3.
3294 + add an entry for key_defined.3x to man_db.renames.
3297 + modify setcchar() to allow converting control characters to complex
3298 characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
3299 + add tkterm entry -TD
3300 + modify parse_entry.c to allow a terminfo entry with a leading
3301 2-character name (report by Don Libes).
3302 + corrected acsc in screen.teraterm, which requires a PC-style mapping.
3303 + fix trace statements in read_entry.c to use lseek() rather than
3305 + fix signed/unsigned warnings from Sun's compiler (gcc should give
3306 these warnings, but it is unpredictable).
3307 + modify configure script to omit -Winline for gcc 3.3, since that
3309 + modify manlinks.sed to add a few functions that were overlooked since
3310 they return function pointers: field_init, field_term, form_init,
3311 form_term, item_init, item_term, menu_init and menu_term.
3314 + prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot
3315 be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report
3316 by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.com>).
3317 + change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted
3319 + add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there
3320 are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the
3321 current test programs.
3322 + corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not
3323 convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it.
3324 + corrections to lib_get_wstr.c:
3325 + null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally
3327 + map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into
3328 key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not
3329 mentioned in the terminfo.
3330 + modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line
3331 drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221).
3334 + make typography for program options in manpages consistent (report
3335 by Miloslav Trmac <mitr@volny.cz>).
3336 + correct dependencies in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, so the builds with
3337 "--srcdir" work (report by Warren L Dodge).
3338 + correct missing definition of $(CC) in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in
3339 (reported by Warren L Dodge <warrend@mdhost.cse.tek.com>).
3340 + fix typos and whitespace in manpages (patch by Jason McIntyre
3341 <jmc@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl>).
3344 + fix form_driver() cases for REQ_CLR_EOF, REQ_CLR_EOL, REQ_DEL_CHAR,
3345 REQ_DEL_PREV and REQ_NEW_LINE, which did not ensure the cursor was at
3346 the editing position before making modifications.
3347 + add test/demo_forms and associated test/edit_field.c demos.
3348 + modify test/configure.in to use test/modules for the list of objects
3349 to compile rather than using the list of programs.
3352 + modify logic of acsc to use the original character if no mapping is
3353 defined, noting that Solaris does this.
3354 + modify ncurses 'b' test to avoid using the acs_map[] array since
3355 20021231 changes it to no longer contain information from the acsc
3357 + modify makefile rules in c++, progs, tack and test to ensure that
3358 the compiler flags (e.g., $CFLAGS or $CCFLAGS) are used in the link
3359 command (report by Jose Luis Rico Botella <informatica@serpis.com>).
3360 + modify soft-key initialization to use A_REVERSE if A_STANDOUT would
3361 not be shown when colors are used, i.e., if ncv#1 is set in the
3362 terminfo as is done in "screen".
3365 + add a test for slk_color(), in ncurses.c
3366 + fix some issues reported by valgrind in the slk_set() and slk_wset()
3367 code, from recent rewrite.
3368 + modify ncurses 'E' test to use show previous label via slk_label(),
3370 + modify wide-character versions of NewChar(), NewChar2() macros to
3371 ensure that the whole struct is initialized.
3374 + modify setupterm() to check if the terminfo and terminal-modes have
3375 already been read. This ensures that it does not reinvoke
3376 def_prog_mode() when an application calls more than one function,
3377 such as tgetent() and initscr() (report by Olaf Buddenhagen).
3380 + add 'E' test to ncurses.c, to exercise slk_wset().
3381 + correct handling of carriage-return in wgetn_wstr(), used in demo of
3383 + first draft of slk_wset() function.
3386 + improved warnings in tic when suppressing items to fit in termcap's
3388 + built a list in test/README showing which externals are being used
3389 by either programs in the test-directory or via internal library
3391 + adjust include-options in CF_ETIP_DEFINES to avoid missing
3392 ncurses_dll.h, fixing special definitions that may be needed for
3393 etip.h (reported by Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>).
3396 + minor fixes for cardfile.c, to make it write the updated fields to
3397 a file when ^W is given.
3398 + add/use _nc_trace_bufcat() to eliminate some fixed buffer limits in
3402 + correct a case in _nc_remove_string(), used by define_key(), to avoid
3403 infinite loop if the given string happens to be a substring of other
3404 strings which are assigned to keys (report by John McCutchan).
3405 + add key_defined() function, to tell which keycode a string is bound
3406 to (discussion with John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org>).
3407 + correct keybound(), which reported definitions in the wrong table,
3408 i.e., the list of definitions which are disabled by keyok().
3409 + modify demo_keydef.c to show the details it changes, and to check
3413 + restructured test/configure script, make it work for libncursesw.
3414 + add description of link_fieldtype() to manpage (report by
3415 L Dee Holtsclaw <dee@sunbeltsoft.com>).
3418 + corrected ifdef's relating to configure check for wchar_t, etc.
3419 + if the output is a socket or other non-tty device, use 1 millisecond
3420 for the cost in mvcur; previously it was 9 milliseconds because the
3421 baudrate was not known.
3422 + in _nc_get_tty_mode(), initialize the TTY buffer on error, since
3423 glibc copies uninitialized data in that case, as noted by valgrind.
3424 + modify tput to use the same parameter analysis as tparm() does, to
3425 provide for user-defined strings, e.g., for xterm title, a
3426 corresponding capability might be
3428 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid passing "#" tokens through the C
3429 preprocessor. This works around Mac OS X's preprocessor, which
3430 insists on adding a blank on each side of the token (report/analysis
3431 by Kevin Murphy <murphy@genome.chop.edu>).
3434 + add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely
3435 on preprocessor definitions. Also work around for gcc fixinclude
3436 bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols
3437 apparently typedef'd.
3438 + if database is disabled, do not generate run_tic.sh
3439 + minor fixes for memory-leak checking when termcap is read.
3442 + add checking in tic for incomplete line-drawing character mapping.
3443 + update configure script to reflect fix for AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL,
3444 which is broken in autoconf 2.5x for Mac OS X 10.2.3 (report by
3445 Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl>).
3446 + make return value from _nc_printf_string() consistent. Before,
3447 depending on whether --enable-safe-sprintf was used, it might not be
3448 cached for reallocating.
3451 + minor fixes for memory-leak checking in lib_tparm.c, hardscroll.c
3452 + correct a potentially-uninitialized value if _read_termtype() does
3453 not read as much data as expected (report by Wolfgang Rohdewald
3455 + correct several places where the aclocal.m4 macros relied on cache
3456 variable names which were incompatible (as usual) between autoconf
3457 2.13 and 2.5x, causing the test for broken-linker to give incorrect
3458 results (reports by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl> and Thomas Esser
3459 <te@dbs.uni-hannover.de>).
3460 + do not try to open gpm mouse driver if standard output is not a tty;
3461 the gpm library does not make this check (bug report for dialog
3462 by David Oliveira <davidoliveira@develop.prozone.ws>).
3465 + modified emx.src to correspond more closely to terminfo.src, added
3466 emx-base to the latter -TD
3467 + add configure option for FreeBSD sysmouse, --with-sysmouse, and
3468 implement support for that in lib_mouse.c, lib_getch.c
3471 + revert 20030105 change to can_clear_with(), does not work for the
3472 case where the update is made on cells which are blanks with
3473 attributes, e.g., reverse.
3474 + improve ifdef's to guard against redefinition of wchar_t and wint_t
3475 in curses.h (report by Urs Jansen).
3478 + improve mvcur() by checking if it is safe to move when video
3479 attributes are set (msgr), and if not, reset/restore attributes
3480 within that function rather than doing it separately in the GoTo()
3481 function in tty_update.c (suggested by Philippe Blain).
3482 + add a message in run_tic.in to explain more clearly what does not
3483 work when attempting to create a symbolic link for /usr/lib/terminfo
3484 on OS/2 and other platforms with no symbolic links (report by John
3486 + change several sed scripts to avoid using "\+" since it is not a BRE
3487 (basic regular expression). One instance caused terminfo.5 to be
3488 misformatted on FreeBSD (report by Kazuo Horikawa
3489 <horikawa@FreeBSD.org> (see FreeBSD docs/46709)).
3490 + correct misspelled 'wint_t' in curs_get_wch.3x (Michael Elkins).
3493 + improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic
3494 variables (comments by Mark I Manning IV <mark4th@earthlink.net>).
3495 + demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to
3496 use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a
3497 specialized type for the middle initial/name.
3498 + fix MKterminfo.sh, another workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature
3500 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3501 + optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter
3502 is indeed a "blank".
3503 + simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear
3504 sections as small as one line.
3505 + improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying
3507 + use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since
3508 the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines
3509 affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region.
3512 + rewrite of lib_acs.c conflicts with copying of SCREEN acs_map to/from
3513 global acs_map[] array; removed the lines that did the copying.
3516 + change some overlooked tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp()
3517 (report by Philippe Blain).
3518 + modify lib_getch.c to avoid recursion via wgetnstr() when the input
3519 is not a tty and consequently mode-changes do not work (report by
3520 <R.Chamberlin@querix.com>).
3521 + rewrote lib_acs.c to allow PutAttrChar() to decide how to render
3522 alternate-characters, i.e., to work with Linux console and UTF-8
3524 + correct line/column reference in adjust_window(), needed to make
3525 special windows such as curscr track properly when resizing (report
3526 by Lucas Gonze <lgonze@panix.com>).
3527 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3528 + correct the value used for blank in ClrBottom() (broken in 20000708).
3529 + correct an off-by-one in GoTo() parameter in _nc_scrolln().
3532 + change several tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp(), to
3533 enable padding which may be needed for some terminals (patch by
3535 + use '%' as sed substitute delimiter in run_tic script to avoid
3536 problems with pathname delimiters such as ':' and '@' (report by John
3538 + implement a workaround so that line-drawing works with screen's
3539 crippled UTF-8 support (tested with 3.9.13). This only works with
3540 the wide-character support (--enable-widec); the normal library will
3541 simply suppress line-drawing when running in a UTF-8 locale in screen.
3544 + allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
3545 overridden from the environment.
3546 + make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with
3547 the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki).
3548 + modify ncurses/modules to allow
3549 configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs
3550 to build (report by Gary Samuelson).
3551 + fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by
3552 Gary Samuelson <gary.samuelson@verizon.com>).
3553 + correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which
3554 force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report
3555 by Sam Varshavchik).
3556 + small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which
3557 gnatmake adds to its version-message.
3558 > Maciej W Rozycki <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>:
3559 + use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross
3561 + use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
3562 comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
3563 traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.
3564 + change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host"
3565 when referring to the --with-build-XXX options.
3568 + modify CF_GNAT_VERSION to print gnatmake's version, and to allow for
3569 possible gnat versions such as 3.2 (report by Chris Lingard
3570 <chris@stockwith.co.uk>).
3571 + modify #define's for CKILL and other default control characters in
3572 tset to use the system's default values if they are defined.
3573 + correct interchanged defaults for kill and interrupt characters
3574 in tset, which caused it to report unnecessarily (Debian #171583).
3575 + repair check for missing C++ compiler, which is broken in autoconf
3576 2.5x by hardcoding it to g++ (report by Martin Mokrejs).
3577 + update config.guess, config.sub (2002-11-30)
3578 + modify configure script to skip --with-shared, etc., when the
3579 --with-libtool option is given, since they would be ignored anyway.
3580 + fix to allow "configure --with-libtool --with-termlib" to build.
3581 + modify configure script to show version number of libtool, to help
3582 with bug reports. libtool still gets confused if the installed
3583 ncurses libraries are old, since it ignores the -L options at some
3584 point (tested with libtool 1.3.3 and 1.4.3).
3585 + reorder configure script's updating of $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to
3586 prevent -I options in the user's environment from introducing
3587 conflicts with the build -I options (may be related to reports by
3588 Patrick Ash and George Goffe).
3589 + rename test/define_key.c to test/demo_defkey.c, test/keyok.c to
3590 test/demo_keyok.c to allow building these with libtool.
3593 + add example program test/define_key.c for define_key().
3594 + add example program test/keyok.c for keyok().
3595 + add example program test/ins_wide.c for wins_wch() and wins_wstr().
3596 + modify wins_wch() and wins_wstr() to interpret tabs by using the
3597 winsch() internal function.
3598 + modify setcchar() to allow for wchar_t input strings that have
3599 more than one spacing character.
3602 + fix a boundary check in lib_insch.c (patch by Philippe Blain).
3603 + change type for *printw functions from NCURSES_CONST to const
3604 (prompted by comment by Pedro Palhoto Matos <plpm@mega.ist.utl.pt>,
3605 but really from a note on X/Open's website stating that either is
3606 acceptable, and the latter will be used in a future revision).
3607 + add xterm-1002, xterm-1003 terminfo entries to demonstrate changes in
3608 lib_mouse.c (20021026) -TD
3609 + add screen-bce, screen-s entries from screen 3.9.13 (report by
3610 Adam Lazur <zal@debian.org>) -TD
3611 + add mterm terminfo entries -TD
3614 + split-out useful fragments in terminfo for vt100 and vt220 numeric
3615 keypad, i.e., vt100+keypad, vt100+pfkeys, vt100+fnkeys and
3616 vt220+keypad. The last as embedded in various entries had ka3 and
3617 kb2 interchanged (report/discussion with Leonard den Ottolander
3618 <leonardjo@hetnet.nl>).
3619 + add check in tic for keypads consistent with vt100 layout.
3620 + improve checks in tic for color capabilities
3623 + check for missing/empty/illegal terminfo name in _nc_read_entry()
3624 (report by Martin Mokrejs, where $TERM was set to an empty string).
3625 + rewrote lib_insch.c, combining it with lib_insstr.c so both handle
3626 tab and other control characters consistently (report by Philippe
3628 + remove an #undef for KEY_EVENT from curses.tail used in the
3629 experimental NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS feature. The #undef confuses
3630 dpkg's build script (Debian #165897).
3631 + fix MKlib_gen.sh, working around the ironically named POSIXLY_CORRECT
3632 feature of GNU sed 4.0 (reported by Ervin Nemeth <airwin@inf.bme.hu>).
3635 + implement logic in lib_mouse.c to handle position reports which are
3636 generated when XFree86 xterm is initialized with private modes 1002
3637 or 1003. These are returned to the application as the
3638 REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION mask, which was not implemented. Tested both
3639 with ncurses 'a' menu (prompted by discussion with Larry Riedel
3640 <Larry@Riedel.org>).
3641 + modify lib_mouse.c to look for "XM" terminfo string, which allows
3642 one to override the escape sequence used to enable/disable mouse
3643 mode. In particular this works for XFree86 xterm private modes
3644 1002 and 1003. If "XM" is missing (note that this is an extended
3645 name), lib_mouse uses the conventional private mode 1000.
3646 + correct NOT_LOCAL() macro in lib_mvcur.c to refer to screen_columns
3647 where it used screen_lines (report by Philippe Blain).
3648 + correct makefile rules for the case when both --with-libtool and
3649 --with-gpm are given (report by Mr E_T <troll@logi.net.au>).
3650 + add note to terminfo manpage regarding the differences between
3651 setaf/setab and setf/setb capabilities (report by Pavel Roskin).
3654 + remove redundant initialization of TABSIZE in newterm(), since it is
3655 already done in setupterm() (report by Philippe Blain).
3656 + add test/inserts.c, to test winnstr() and winsch().
3657 + replace 'sort' in dist.mk with script that sets locale to POSIX.
3658 + update URLs in announce.html.in (patch by Frederic L W Meunier).
3659 + remove glibc add-on files, which are no longer needed (report by
3660 Frederic L W Meunier).
3662 20021012 5.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
3663 + modify ifdef's in etip.h.in to allow the etip.h header to compile
3664 with gcc 3.2 (patch by Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy@is-vn.bg>).
3665 + add logic to setupterm() to make it like initscr() and newterm(),
3666 by checking for $NCURSES_TRACE environment variable and enabling
3667 the debug trace in that case.
3668 + modify setupterm() to ensure that it initializes the baudrate, for
3669 applications such as tput (report by Frank Henigman).
3670 + modify definition of bits used for command-line and library debug
3671 traces to avoid overlap, using new definition TRACE_SHIFT to relate
3673 + document tput's interpretation of parameterized strings according to
3674 whether parameters are given, etc. (discussion with Robert De Bath).
3676 20021005 pre-release
3677 + correct winnwstr() to account for non-character cells generated when
3678 a double-width character is added (report by Michael Bienia
3679 <michael@vorlon.ping.de>).
3680 + modify _nc_viswbuf2n() to provide better results using wctomb().
3681 + correct logic in _nc_varargs() which broke tracing of parameters for
3682 formats such as "%.*s".
3683 + correct scale factor in linux-c and linux-c-nc terminfo entries
3684 (report Floyd Davidson).
3685 + change tic -A option to -t, add the same option to infocmp for
3687 + correct "%c" implementation in lib_tparm.c, which did not map a null
3688 character to a 128 (cf: 980620) (patch by Frank Henigman
3689 <fjhenigman@mud.cgl.uwaterloo.ca>).
3691 20020928 pre-release
3692 + modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for POSIX sort -k option, use that if
3693 it is found, to accommodate newer utility which dropped the
3694 compatibility support for +number options (reported by Andrey A
3696 + modify linux terminfo entry to use color palette feature from
3697 linux-c-nc entry (comments by Tomasz Wasiak and Floyd Davidson).
3698 + restore original color definitions in endwin() if init_color() was
3699 used, and resume those colors on the next doupdate() or refresh()
3700 (report by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@komputom.com.pl>).
3701 + improve debug-traces by modifying MKlib_gen.sh to generate calls
3702 to returnBool() and returnAttr().
3703 + add/use _nc_visbufn() and _nc_viswbufn() to limit the debug trace
3704 of waddnstr() and similar functions to match the parameters as used.
3705 + add/use _nc_retrace_bool() and _nc_retrace_unsigned().
3706 + correct type used by _nc_retrace_chtype().
3707 + add debug traces to some functions in lib_mouse.c
3708 + modify lib_addch.c to handle non-spacing characters.
3709 + correct parameter of RemAttr() in lib_bkgd.c, which caused the c++
3710 demo's boxes to lose the A_ALTCHARSET flag (broken in 20020629).
3711 + correct width computed in _tracedump(), which did not account for
3712 the attributes (broken in 20010602).
3713 + modify test/tracemunch to replace addresses for windows other than
3714 curscr, newscr and stdscr with window0, window1, etc.
3716 20020921 pre-release
3717 + redid fix for edit_man.sed path.
3718 + workaround for Cygwin bug which makes subprocess writes to stdout
3719 result in core dump.
3720 + documented getbegx(), etc.
3721 + minor fixes to configure script to use '%' consistently as a sed
3722 delimiter rather than '@'.
3723 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3724 + add check in lib_overlay.c to ensure that the windows to be merged
3725 actually overlap, and in copywin(), limit the area to be touched
3726 to the lines given for the destination window.
3728 20020914 pre-release
3729 + modified curses.h so that if the wide-character version is installed
3730 overwriting /usr/include/curses.h, and if it relied on libutf8.h,
3731 then applications that use that header for wide-character support
3732 must define HAVE_LIBUTF8_H.
3733 + modify putwin(), getwin() and dupwin() to allow them to operate on
3734 pads (request by Philippe Blain).
3735 + correct attribute-merging in wborder(), broken in 20020216 (report
3736 by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@grubasek.komputom.com.pl>).
3737 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3738 + corrected pop-counts in tparam_internal() to '!' and '~' cases.
3739 + use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in one place that used sizeof(chtype).
3740 + remove some unused variables from mvcur test-driver.
3742 20020907 pre-release
3743 + change configure script to allow install of widec-character
3744 (ncursesw) headers to overwrite normal (ncurses) headers, since the
3745 latter is a compatible subset of the former.
3746 + fix path of edit_man.sed in configure script, needed to regenerate
3747 html manpages on Debian.
3748 + fix mismatched enums in vsscanf.c, which caused warning on Solaris.
3749 + update README.emx to reflect current patch used for autoconf.
3750 + change web- and ftp-site to invisible-island.net
3751 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3752 + change case for 'P' in tparam_internal() to indicate that it pops
3753 a variable from the stack.
3754 + correct sense of precision and width in parse_format(), to avoid
3756 + modify lib_tparm.c, absorb really_get_space() into get_space().
3757 + modify getwin() and dupwin() to copy the _notimeout, _idlok and
3758 _idcok window fields.
3759 + better fix for _nc_set_type(), using typeMalloc().
3761 20020901 pre-release
3762 + change minor version to 3, i.e., ncurses 5.3
3763 + update config.guess, config.sub
3764 + retest build with each configure option; minor ifdef fixes.
3765 + make keyname() return a null pointer rather than "UNKNOWN STRING" to
3767 + modify handling of wide line-drawing character functions to use the
3768 normal line-drawing characters when not in UTF-8 locale.
3769 + add check/fix to comp_parse.c to suppress warning about missing acsc
3770 string. This happens in configurations where raw termcap information
3771 is processed; tic already does this and other checks.
3772 + modify tic's check for ich/ich1 versus rmir/smir to only warn about
3773 ich1, to match xterm patch #70 notes.
3774 + moved information for ripped-off lines into SCREEN struct to allow
3775 use in resizeterm().
3776 + add experimental wgetch_events(), ifdef'd with NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
3777 (adapted from patch by Ilya Zakharevich - see ncurses/README.IZ).
3778 + amend check in kgetch() from 20020824 to look only for function-keys,
3779 otherwise escape sequences are not resolved properly.
3780 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3781 + removed redundant assignment to SP->_checkfd from newterm().
3782 + check return-value of setupterm() in restartterm().
3783 + use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in a few places that used sizeof(chtype).
3784 + prevent dupwin() from duplicating a pad.
3785 + prevent putwin() from writing a pad.
3786 + use typeRealloc() or typeMalloc() in preference to direct calls on
3790 + add a check in kgetch() for cooked characters in the fifo to avoid
3791 calling fifo_push() when a KEY_RESIZE is available (report/analysis
3792 by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>).
3793 + fix an overlooked case for bugzilla #68199 (Philippe Blain).
3794 + ensure clearerr() is called before using ferror() e.g., in
3795 lib_screen.c (report by Philippe Blain).
3798 + modify lib_screen.c and lib_newwin.c to maintain the SCREEN-specific
3799 pointers for curscr/stdscr/newscr when scr_save() and scr_restore()
3800 modify the global curscr/stdscr/newscr variables. Fixes Redhat
3801 bugzilla #68199 dated 2002-07-07.
3802 + add checks for null pointer in calls to tparm() and tgoto() based on
3803 FreeBSD bug report. If ncurses were built with termcap support, and
3804 the first call to tgoto() were a zero-length string, the result would
3805 be a null pointer, which was not handled properly.
3806 + correct a typo in terminfo.head, which gave the octal code for colon
3808 + remove the "tic -u" option from 20020810, since it did not account
3809 for nested "tc=" clauses, and when that was addressed, was still
3813 + add tic -A option to suppress capabilities which are commented out
3814 when translating to termcap.
3815 + add tic -u option to provide older behavior of "tc=" clauses.
3816 + modified tic to expand all but the final "tc=" clause in a termcap
3817 entry, to accommodate termcap libraries which do not handle multiple
3819 + correct typo in curs_inopts.3x regarding CS8/CS7 usage (report by
3821 + remove a couple of redundant uses of A_ATTRIBUTES in expressions
3822 using AttrOf(), which already incorporates that mask (report by
3824 + document TABSIZE variable.
3825 + add NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS environment variable, to allow users to
3826 override compiled-in default black-on-white assumption used in
3827 assume_default_colors().
3828 + correct an off-by-one comparison against max_colors in COLORFGBG
3830 + correct a use of uninitialized memory found by valgrind (reported by
3831 Olaf Buddenhagen <olafBuddenhagen@web.de>).
3832 + modified wresize() to ensure that a failed realloc will not corrupt
3833 the window structure, and to make subwindows fit within the resized
3834 window (completes Debian #87678, #101699)
3837 + fix an off-by-one in lib_pad.c check for limits of pad (patch by
3839 + revise logic for BeOS in lib_twait.c altered in 20011013 to restore
3840 logic used by lib_getch.c's support for GPM or EMX mouse (report by
3842 + remove NCURSES_CONST from several prototypes in curses.wide, to make
3843 the --enable-const --enable-widec configure options to work together
3844 (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@yahoo.com>).
3847 + finish no-leak checking in cardfile.c, using this for testing changes
3849 + simplify _nc_freeall() using delscreen().
3852 + check error-return from _nc_set_tty_mode() in _nc_initscr() and
3853 reset_prog_mode() (report/patch by Philippe Blain).
3854 + regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52, to address
3855 problem with identifying C++ bool type.
3856 + correct/improve logic to produce an exit status for errors in tput,
3857 which did not exit with an error when told to put a string not in the
3858 current terminfo entry (report by David Gomez <david@pleyades.net>).
3859 + modify configure script AC_OUTPUT() call to work around defect in
3860 autoconf 2.52 which adds an ifdef'd include to the generated
3861 configure definitions.
3862 + remove fstat() check from scr_init(), which also fixes a missing
3863 include for <sys/stat.h> from 20020713 (reported by David Ellement,
3864 fix suggested by Philippe Blain).
3865 + update curs_scanw.3x manpage to note that XSI curses differs from
3866 SVr4 curses: return-values are incompatible.
3867 + correct several prototypes in manpages which used const
3868 inconsistently with the curses.h file, and removed spurious const's
3869 in a few places from curses.h, e.g., for wbkgd() (report by Glenn
3870 Maynard <glenn@zewt.org>).
3871 + change internal type used by tparm() to long, to work with LP64 model.
3872 + modify nc_alloc.h to allow building with g++, for testing.
3875 + add resize-handling to cardfile.c test program.
3876 + altered resizeterm() to avoid having it fail when a child window
3877 cannot be resized because it would be larger than its parent. (More
3878 work must be done on this, but it works well enough to integrate).
3879 + improve a limit-check in lib_refresh.c
3880 + remove check in lib_screen.c relating dumptime to file's modification
3881 times, since that would not necessarily work for remotely mounted
3883 + modify lrtest to simplify debugging changes to resizeterm, e.g.,
3884 t/T commands to enable/disable tracing.
3885 + updated status of multibyte support in TO-DO.
3886 + update contact info in source-files (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
3889 + add Caps.hpux11, as an example.
3890 + modify version_filter(), used to implement -R option for tic and
3891 infocmp, to use computed array offsets based on the Caps.* file which
3892 is actually configured, rather than constants which correspond to
3894 + reorganized lib_raw.c to avoid updating SP and cur_term state if the
3895 functions fail (reported by Philippe Blain).
3896 + add -Wundef to gcc warnings, adjust a few ifdef's to accommodate gcc.
3899 + correct parameters to setcchar() in ncurses.c (cf: 20020406).
3900 + set locale in most test programs (view.c and ncurses.c were the
3902 + add configure option --with-build-cppflags (report by Maksim A
3903 Nikulin <M.A.Nikulin@inp.nsk.su>).
3904 + correct a typo in wide-character logic for lib_bkgnd.c (Philippe
3906 + modify lib_wacs.c to not cancel the acsc, smacs, rmacs strings when
3907 in UTF-8 locale. Wide-character functions use Unicode values, while
3908 narrow-character functions use the terminfo data.
3909 + fix a couple of places in Ada95/samples which did not compile with
3911 + modify mkinstalldirs so the DOS-pathname case is locale-independent.
3912 + fix locale problem in MKlib_gen.sh by forcing related variables to
3913 POSIX (C), using same approach as autoconf (set variables only if
3914 they were set before). Update MKterminfo.sh and MKtermsort.sh to
3918 + add charset to generated html.
3919 + add mvterm entry, adapted from a FreeBSD bug-report by Daniel Rudy
3920 <dcrudy@pacbell.net> -TD
3921 + add rxvt-16color, ibm+16color entries -TD
3922 + modify check in --disable-overwrite option so that it is used by
3923 default unless the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr, in attempt to
3924 work around packagers, e.g., for Sun's freeware, who do not read the
3928 + modify wgetch() to allow returning ungetch'd KEY_RESIZE as a function
3929 key code in get_wch().
3930 + extended resize-handling in test/ncurses 'a' menu to the entire
3931 stack of windows created with 'w' commands.
3932 + improve $COLORFGBG feature by interpreting an out-of-range color
3933 value as an SGR 39 or 49, for foreground/background respectively.
3934 + correct a typo in configure --enable-colorfgbg option, and move it
3935 to the experimental section (cf: 20011208).
3938 + add logic to dump_entry.c to remove function-key definitions that do
3939 not fit into the 1023-byte limit for generated termcaps. This makes
3941 + more improvements to tic's warnings, including logic to ignore
3942 differences between delay values in sgr strings.
3943 + move definition of KEY_RESIZE into MKkeydefs.sh script, to
3944 accommodate Caps.osf1r5 which introduced a conflicting definition.
3947 + add simple resize-handling in test/ncurses.c 'a' menu.
3948 + fixes in keyname() and _tracechar() to handle negative values.
3949 + make tic's warnings about mismatches in sgr strings easier to follow.
3950 + correct tic checks for number of parameters in smgbp and smglp.
3951 + improve scoansi terminfo entry, and add scoansi-new entry -TD
3952 + add pcvt25-color terminfo entry -TD
3953 + add kf13-kf48 strings to cons25w terminfo entry (reported by Stephen
3954 Hurd <deuce@lordlegacy.org> in newsgroup lucky.freebsd.bugs) -TD
3955 + add entrypoint _nc_trace_ttymode(), use this to distinguish the
3956 Ottyb and Nttyb members of terminal (aka cur_term), for tracing.
3959 + correct and simplify logic for lib_pad.c change in 20020518 (reported
3963 + fix lib_pad.c for case of drawing a double-width character which
3964 falls off the left margin of the pad (patch by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij
3965 <lerdsuwa@users.sourceforge.net>)
3966 + modify configure script to work around broken gcc 3.1 "--version"
3967 option, which adds unnecessary trash to the requested information.
3968 + adjust ifdef's in case SIGWINCH is not defined, e.g., with DJGPP
3969 (reported by Ben Decker <deckerben@freenet.de>).
3972 + implement vid_puts(), vid_attr(), term_attrs() based on the narrow-
3973 character versions as well.
3974 + implement erasewchar(), killwchar() based on erasechar() and
3976 + modify erasechar() and killchar() to return ERR if the value was
3978 + correct a bug in wresize() in handling subwindows (based on pat
projects / ncurses.git / blob
