This is a log of changes that ncurses has gone through since Zeyd started
Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions;
it is not possible to add this information.
+20200718
+ + reduce redefinition-warnings for KEY_EVENT when building with Visual
+ Studio C++.
+ + define NCURSES_STATIC when compiling programs to link with static
+ libraries, to work with MinGW vs Visual Studio C++.
+ > additional changes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2
+ (reports/patches by "Maarten Anonymous")
+ + modify c++/Makefile.in to set the current directory while compiling
+ the main program, so the linker can find related objects.
+ + several changes to allow the c++/demo program to compile/link.
+ + change an ifdef in test-directory, to use VC++ wide-character funcs.
+
+20200711
+ + fix pound-sign mapping in acsc of linux2.6 entry (report by Ingo
+ Bruckl).
+ + additional changes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2
+ (reports/patches by "Maarten Anonymous")
+ + build-improvements for Windows 10 and MinGW (patch by Juergen
+ Pfeifer).
+ + fix a typo in curs_printw.3x (patch by William Pursell).
+ + fix two errors in infotocap which allowed indexing outside the
+ buffer (report/testcases by Zhang Gan).
+ + update length of strings in infocmp's usage function to restore a
+ trailing null on the longest string (report/testcase by Zhang Gen).
+
+20200704
+ + modify version-check with Ada generics to use the same pattern as in
+ the check for supported gnat versions (report by Pascal Pignard).
+ > additional changes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2
+ (patches by "Maarten Anonymous"):
+ + adjust headers/declarations to provide for "dllimport" vs "dllexport"
+ declarations when constructing DLLs, to worko with Visual Studio C++.
+
+20200627
+ + build-fixes for gnat 10.1.1, whose gnatmake drops integration with
+ gprbuild.
+ + correct buffer-length in test/color_name.h
+
+20200613
+ + update list of functions in ncurses.3x
+ + move dlclose() call from lib_mouse.c to delscreen() to avoid a case
+ in the former which could be called from SIGTSTP handler (Debian
+ #961097).
+
+20200606
+ + add xterm+256color2, xterm+88color2, to deprecate nonstandard usage
+ in xterm+256color, xterm+88color -TD
+ + add shifted Linux console keys in linux+sfkeys entry for
+ screen.linux (report by Alexandre Montaron).
+ + use vt100+enq in screen (report by Alexandre Montaron).
+ + add screen.linux-s alias (suggested by Alexandre Montaron).
+
+20200531
+ + correct configure version-check/warnng for g++ to allow for 10.x
+ + re-enable "bel" in konsole-base (report by Nia Huang)
+ + add linux-s entry (patch by Alexandre Montaron).
+ + drop long-obsolete convert_configure.pl
+ + add test/test_parm.c, for checking tparm changes.
+ + improve parameter-checking for tparm, adding function _nc_tiparm() to
+ handle the most-used case, which accepts only numeric parameters
+ (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
+ + use a more conservative estimate of the buffer-size in lib_tparm.c's
+ save_text() and save_number(), in case the sprintf() function
+ passes-through unexpected characters from a format specifier
+ (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
+ + add a check for end-of-string in cvtchar to handle a malformed
+ string in infotocap (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
+
20200523
+ update version-check for gnat to allow for gnat 10.x to 99.x
+ fix an uninitialized variable in lib_mouse.c changes (cf: 20200502)
