1 This is a log of changes that the ncurses C++ binding has gone
2 through starting with the integration of menu and forms integration
5 990731 + Improve support for pads. A viewport window may now be added to
6 a pad. It will then be possible to use a builtin panning mechanism
9 970908 + Improve NCursesWindow class: added additional methods to
10 cover more ncurses functionality. Make refresh() and
11 noutrefresh() virtual members to allow different implementation
12 in the NCursesPanel class.
13 + CAUTION: changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of
15 + Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a
16 reimplementation of refresh() in the base class. Added
17 noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel.
18 + Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform
20 + Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to
22 + Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration
23 of menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of
24 title lines and Soft-Label-Keys for an application.
25 + Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menus fieldlist.
26 + Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for
30 + Introduced the THROW and THROWS functions/macros to prepare
31 a smoother transition to real exception handling.
32 + Exception classes provided in etip.h
33 + Added the NCursesMenu class to support libmenu functionality.
34 + The inheritace relation between NCursesWindow and NCursesColorWindow
35 was kind of brain damage. Monochrome is a special case of colored, so
36 the relation should be just the opposite. This would allow all
37 derived classes like NCursesPanel, NCursesMenu or NCursesForm to
39 To resolve that design flaw I put the color functionality into the
40 NCursesWindow class and it can be switched on by the static member
41 useColors(). NCursesColorWindow is still there for compatibility
