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.
+20080531
+ + modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
+ parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
+ use SP internally.
+ + factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
+ + add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a
+ particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
+ + add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a
+ particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
+ + add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate
+ its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN.
+ + add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in
+ preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer.
+
+20080524
+ + modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
+ screen which must be updated.
+ + wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and
+ always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm().
+ + restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch
+ Miroslav Lichvar)
+
+20080517
+ + modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and
+ --enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from
+ the ncurses ABI 5.
+ + corrected manpage description of setcchar() (discussion with
+ Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ + fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line
+ (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
+
+20080503
+ + modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix
+ overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD
+ + modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the
+ global SP.
+ + simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and
+ each_ripoff().
+
+20080426
+ + continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate
+ multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens.
+ + fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran).
+
+20080419
+ + add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD
+ + modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from
+ being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings.
+ + improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout.
+
+20080412
+ + change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm.
+ + add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their
+ window parameters.
+ + add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN
+ pointer.
+ + finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.
+
20080405
+ begin table in curs_thread.3x manpage describing the scope of data
used by each function (or symbol) for threading analysis.
e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc
(report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
+ override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on
- platforms such as AIX where libtool supports only static libraries
- (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
+ platforms such as AIX where libtool may use a different suffix for
+ the object files than ".o" (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
+ add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX
thread library.
