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.
+20071013
+ + modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built
+ without libtic. The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
+ that library.
+ + add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
+ the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).
+ + fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat Bugzilla
+ #310071, patches by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ + improve performance of NCURSES_CHAR_EQ code (patch by Miroslav
+ Lichvar).
+ + update/improve mlterm and rxvt terminfo entries, e.g., for
+ the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
+
+20071006
+ + add code to curses.priv.h ifdef'd with NCURSES_CHAR_EQ, which
+ changes the CharEq() macro to an inline function to allow comparing
+ cchar_t struct's without comparing gaps in a possibly unpacked
+ memory layout (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
+
20070929
+ add new functions to lib_trace.c to setup mutex's for the _tracef()
calls within the ncurses library.
