This is a log of changes that ncurses has gone through since Zeyd started
working with Pavel Curtis' original work, pcurses, in 1992.
-Changes through 1.9.9e are recorded by Zeyd M. Ben-Halim.
-Changes since 1.9.9e are recorded by Thomas Dickey.
+Changes through 1.9.9e are recorded by Zeyd M Ben-Halim.
+Changes since 1.9.9e are recorded by Thomas E Dickey.
+
+Contributors include those who have provided patches (even small ones), as well
+as those who provide useful information (bug reports, analyses). Changes with
+no cited author are the work of Thomas E Dickey (TD).
+
+A few contributors are given in this file by their initials.
+They each account for one percent or more of the changes since 1.9.9e.
+See the AUTHORS file for the corresponding full names.
+
+Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions;
+it is not possible to add this information.
+
+20061223
+ + modify configure script to omit the tic (terminfo compiler) support
+ from ncurses library if --without-progs option is given.
+ + modify install rule for ncurses5-config to do this via "install.libs"
+ + modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath.
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20061217 5.6 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+
+20061217
+ + add ifdef's for <wctype.h> for HPUX, which has the corresponding
+ definitions in <wchar.h>.
+ + revert the va_copy() change from 20061202, since it was neither
+ correct nor portable.
+ + add $(LOCAL_LIBS) definition to progs/Makefile.in, needed for
+ rpath on Solaris.
+ + ignore wide-acs line-drawing characters that wcwidth() claims are
+ not one-column. This is a workaround for Solaris' broken locale
+ support.
+
+20061216
+ + modify configure --with-gpm option to allow it to accept a parameter,
+ i.e., the name of the dynamic GPM library to load via dlopen()
+ (requested by Bryan Henderson).
+ + add configure option --with-valgrind (from vile).
+ + modify configure script AC_TRY_RUN and AC_TRY_LINK checks to use
+ 'return' in preference to 'exit()'.
+
+20061209
+ + change default for --with-develop back to "no".
+ + add XTABS to tracing of TTY bits.
+ + updated autoconf patch to ifdef-out the misfeature which declares
+ exit() for configure tests. This fixes a redefinition warning on
+ Solaris.
+ + use ${CC} rather than ${LD} in shared library rules for IRIX64,
+ Solaris to help ensure that initialization sections are provided for
+ extra linkage requirements, e.g., of C++ applications (prompted by
+ comment by Casper Dik in newsgroup).
+ + rename "$target" in CF_MAN_PAGES to make it easier to distinguish
+ from the autoconf predefined symbol. There was no conflict,
+ since "$target" was used only in the generated edit_man.sh file,
+ but SuSE's rpm package contains a patch.
+
+20061202
+ + update man/term.5 to reflect extended terminfo support and hashed
+ database configuration.
+ + updates for test/configure script.
+ + adapted from SuSE rpm package:
+ + remove long-obsolete workaround for broken-linker which declared
+ cur_term in tic.c
+ + improve error recovery in PUTC() macro when wcrtomb() does not
+ return usable results for an 8-bit character.
+ + patches from rpm package (SuSE):
+ + use va_copy() in extra varargs manipulation for tracing version
+ of printw, etc.
+ + use a va_list rather than a null in _nc_freeall()'s call to
+ _nc_printf_string().
+ + add some see-also references in manpages to show related
+ wide-character functions (suggested by Claus Fischer).
+
+20061125
+ + add a check in lib_color.c to ensure caller does not increase COLORS
+ above max_colors, which is used as an array index (discussion with
+ Simon Sasburg).
+ + add ifdef's allowing ncurses to be built with tparm() using either
+ varargs (the existing status), or using a fixed-parameter list (to
+ match X/Open).
+
+20061104
+ + fix redrawing of windows other than stdscr using wredrawln() by
+ touching the corresponding rows in curscr (discussion with Dan
+ Gookin).
+ + add test/redraw.c
+ + add test/echochar.c
+ + review/cleanup manpage descriptions of error-returns for form- and
+ menu-libraries (prompted by FreeBSD docs/46196).
+
+20061028
+ + add AUTHORS file -TD
+ + omit the -D options from output of the new config script --cflags
+ option (suggested by Ralf S Engelschall).
+ + make NCURSES_INLINE unconditionally defined in curses.h
+
+20061021
+ + revert change to accommodate bash 3.2, since that breaks other
+ platforms, e.g., Solaris.
+ + minor fixes to NEWS file to simplify scripting to obtain list of
+ contributors.
+ + improve some shared-library configure scripting for Linux, FreeBSD
+ and NetBSD to make "--with-shlib-version" work.
+ + change configure-script rules for FreeBSD shared libraries to allow
+ for rpath support in versions past 3.
+ + use $(DESTDIR) in makefile rules for installing/uninstalling the
+ package config script (reports/patches by Christian Wiese,
+ Ralf S Engelschall).
+ + fix a warning in the configure script for NetBSD 2.0, working around
+ spurious blanks embedded in its ${MAKEFLAGS} symbol.
+ + change test/Makefile to simplify installing test programs in a
+ different directory when --enable-rpath is used.
+
+20061014
+ + work around bug in bash 3.2 by adding extra quotes (Jim Gifford).
+ + add/install a package config script, e.g., "ncurses5-config" or
+ "ncursesw5-config", according to configuration options.
+
+20061007
+ + add several GNU Screen terminfo variations with 16- and 256-colors,
+ and status line (Alain Bench).
+ + change the way shared libraries (other than libtool) are installed.
+ Rather than copying the build-tree's libraries, link the shared
+ objects into the install directory. This makes the --with-rpath
+ option work except with $(DESTDIR) (cf: 20000930).
+
+20060930
+ + fix ifdef in c++/internal.h for QNX 6.1
+ + test-compiled with (old) egcs-1.1.2, modified configure script to
+ not unset the $CXX and related variables which would prevent this.
+ + fix a few terminfo.src typos exposed by improvments to "-f" option.
+ + improve infocmp/tic "-f" option formatting.
+
+20060923
+ + make --disable-largefile option work (report by Thomas M Ott).
+ + updated html documentation.
+ + add ka2, kb1, kb3, kc2 to vt220-keypad as an extension -TD
+ + minor improvements to rxvt+pcfkeys -TD
+
+20060916
+ + move static data from lib_mouse.c into SCREEN struct.
+ + improve ifdef's for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset to work with Mac OS X
+ (report by Michail Vidiassov).
+ + modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX to ensure it uses the result from --prefix
+ option (from lynx changes) -TD
+ + adapt AC_PROG_EGREP check, noting that this is likely to be another
+ place aggravated by POSIXLY_CORRECT.
+ + modify configure check for awk to ensure that it is found (prompted
+ by report by Christopher Parker).
+ + update config.sub
+
+20060909
+ + add kon, kon2 and jfbterm terminfo entry (request by Till Maas) -TD
+ + remove invis capability from klone+sgr, mainly used by linux entry,
+ since it does not really do this -TD
+
+20060903
+ + correct logic in wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not guard
+ against passing the multi-column attribute into a call on waddch(),
+ e.g., using data returned by win_wch() (cf: 20041023)
+ (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
+
+20060902
+ + fix kterm's acsc string -TD
+ + fix for change to tic/infocmp in 20060819 to ensure no blank is
+ embedded into a termcap description.
+ + workaround for 20050806 ifdef's change to allow visbuf.c to compile
+ when using --with-termlib --with-trace options.
+ + improve tgetstr() by making the return value point into the user's
+ buffer, if provided (patch by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat Bugzilla
+ #202480)).
+ + correct libraries needed for foldkeys (report by Stanislav Ievlev)
+
+20060826
+ + add terminfo entries for xfce terminal (xfce) and multi gnome
+ terminal (mgt) -TD
+ + add test/foldkeys.c
+
+20060819
+ + modify tic and infocmp to avoid writing trailing blanks on terminfo
+ source output (Debian #378783).
+ + modify configure script to ensure that if the C compiler is used
+ rather than the loader in making shared libraries, the $(CFLAGS)
+ variable is also used (Redhat Bugzilla #199369).
+ + port hashed-db code to db2 and db3.
+ + fix a bug in tgetent() from 20060625 and 20060715 changes
+ (patch/analysis by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat Bugzilla #202480)).
+
+20060805
+ + updated xterm function-keys terminfo to match xterm #216 -TD
+ + add configure --with-hashed-db option (tested only with FreeBSD 6.0,
+ e.g., the db 1.8.5 interface).
+
+20060729
+ + modify toe to access termcap data, e.g., via cgetent() functions,
+ or as a text file if those are not available.
+ + use _nc_basename() in tset to improve $SHELL check for csh/sh.
+ + modify _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_termcap_entry() so infocmp,
+ can access termcap data when the terminfo database is disabled.
+
+20060722
+ + widen the test for xterm kmous a little to allow for other strings
+ than \E[M, e.g., for xterm-sco functionality in xterm.
+ + update xterm-related terminfo entries to match xterm patch #216 -TD
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20060715
+ + fix for install-rule in Ada95 to add terminal_interface.ads
+ and terminal_interface.ali (anonymous posting in comp.lang.ada).
+ + correction to manpage for getcchar() (report by William McBrine).
+ + add test/chgat.c
+ + modify wchgat() to mark updated cells as changed so a refresh will
+ repaint those cells (comments by Sadrul H Chowdhury and William
+ McBrine).
+ + split up dependency of names.c and codes.c in ncurses/Makefile to
+ work with parallel make (report/analysis by Joseph S Myers).
+ + suppress a warning message (which is ignored) for systems without
+ an ldconfig program (patch by Justin Hibbits).
+ + modify configure script --disable-symlinks option to allow one to
+ disable symlink() in tic even when link() does not work (report by
+ Nigel Horne).
+ + modify MKfallback.sh to use tic -x when constructing fallback tables
+ to allow extended capabilities to be retrieved from a fallback entry.
+ + improve leak-checking logic in tgetent() from 20060625 to ensure that
+ it does not free the current screen (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
+
+20060708
+ + add a check for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset (NetBSD #33916).
+ + correct _nc_free_entries() and related functions used for memory leak
+ checking of tic.
+
+20060701
+ + revert a minor change for magic-cookie support from 20060513, which
+ caused unexpected reset of attributes, e.g., when resizing test/view
+ in color mode.
+ + note in clear manpage that the program ignores command-line
+ parameters (prompted by Debian #371855).
+ + fixes to make lib_gen.c build properly with changes to the configure
+ --disable-macros option and NCURSES_NOMACROS (cf: 20060527)
+ + update/correct several terminfo entries -TD
+ + add some notes regarding copyright to terminfo.src -TD
+
+20060625
+ + fixes to build Ada95 binding with gnat-4.1.0
+ + modify read_termtype() so the term_names data is always allocated as
+ part of the str_table, a better fix for a memory leak (cf: 20030809).
+ + reduce memory leaks in repeated calls to tgetent() by remembering the
+ last TERMINAL* value allocated to hold the corresponding data and
+ freeing that if the tgetent() result buffer is the same as the
+ previous call (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
+ + modify tack to test extended capability function-key strings.
+ + improved gnome terminfo entry (GenToo #122566).
+ + improved xterm-256color terminfo entry (patch by Alain Bench).
+
+20060617
+ + fix two small memory leaks related to repeated tgetent() calls
+ with TERM=screen (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
+ + add --enable-signed-char to simplify Debian package.
+ + reduce name-pollution in term.h by removing #define's for HAVE_xxx
+ symbols.
+ + correct typo in curs_terminfo.3x (Debian #369168).
+
+20060603
+ + enable the mouse in test/movewindow.c
+ + improve a limit-check in frm_def.c (John Heasley).
+ + minor copyright fixes.
+ + change configure script to produce test/Makefile from data file.
+
+20060527
+ + add a configure option --enable-wgetch-events to enable
+ NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS, and correct the associated loop-logic in
+ lib_twait.c (report by Bernd Jendrissek).
+ + remove include/nomacros.h from build, since the ifdef for
+ NCURSES_NOMACROS makes that obsolete.
+ + add entrypoints for some functions which were only provided as macros
+ to make NCURSES_NOMACROS ifdef work properly: getcurx(), getcury(),
+ getbegx(), getbegy(), getmaxx(), getmaxy(), getparx() and getpary(),
+ wgetbkgrnd().
+ + provide ifdef for NCURSES_NOMACROS which suppresses most macro
+ definitions from curses.h, i.e., where a macro is defined to override
+ a function to improve performance. Allowing a developer to suppress
+ these definitions can simplify some application (discussion with
+ Stanislav Ievlev).
+ + improve description of memu/meml in terminfo manpage.
+
+20060520
+ + if msgr is false, reset video attributes when doing an automargin
+ wrap to the next line. This makes the ncurses 'k' test work properly
+ for hpterm.
+ + correct caching of keyname(), which was using only half of its table.
+ + minor fixes to memory-leak checking.
+ + make SCREEN._acs_map and SCREEN._screen_acs_map pointers rather than
+ arrays, making ACS_LEN less visible to applications (suggested by
+ Stanislav Ievlev).
+ + move chunk in SCREEN ifdef'd for USE_WIDEC_SUPPORT to the end, so
+ _screen_acs_map will have the same offset in both ncurses/ncursesw,
+ making the corresponding tinfo/tinfow libraries binary-compatible
+ (cf: 20041016, report by Stanislav Ievlev).
+
+20060513
+ + improve debug-tracing for EmitRange().
+ + change default for --with-develop to "yes". Add NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS
+ and NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE environment variables to allow runtime
+ suppression of the related hard-tabs and xmc-glitch features.
+ + add ncurses version number to top-level manpages, e.g., ncurses, tic,
+ infocmp, terminfo as well as form, menu, panel.
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+ + modify ncurses.c to work around a bug in NetBSD 3.0 curses
+ (field_buffer returning null for a valid field). The 'r' test
+ appears to not work with that configuration since the new_fieldtype()
+ function is broken in that implementation.
+
+20060506
+ + add hpterm-color terminfo entry -TD
+ + fixes to compile test-programs with HPUX 11.23
+
+20060422
+ + add copyright notices to files other than those that are generated,
+ data or adapted from pdcurses (reports by William McBrine, David
+ Taylor).
+ + improve rendering on hpterm by not resetting attributes at the end
+ of doupdate() if the terminal has the magic-cookie feature (report
+ by Bernd Rieke).
+ + add 256color variants of terminfo entries for programs which are
+ reported to implement this feature -TD
+
+20060416
+ + fix typo in change to NewChar() macro from 20060311 changes, which
+ broke tab-expansion (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
+
+20060415
+ + document -U option of tic and infocmp.
+ + modify tic/infocmp to suppress smacs/rmacs when acsc is suppressed
+ due to size limit, e.g., converting to termcap format. Also
+ suppress them if the output format does not contain acsc and it
+ was not VT100-like, i.e., a one-one mapping (Novell #163715).
+ + add configure check to ensure that SIGWINCH is defined on platforms
+ such as OS X which exclude that when _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., are
+ defined (report by Nicholas Cole)
+
+20060408
+ + modify write_object() to not write coincidental extensions of an
+ entry made due to it being referenced in a use= clause (report by
+ Alain Bench).
+ + another fix for infocmp -i option, which did not ensure that some
+ escape sequences had comparable prefixes (report by Alain Bench).
+
+20060401
+ + improve discussion of init/reset in terminfo and tput manpages
+ (report by Alain Bench).
+ + use is3 string for a fallback of rs3 in the reset program; it was
+ using is2 (report by Alain Bench).
+ + correct logic for infocmp -i option, which did not account for
+ multiple digits in a parameter (cf: 20040828) (report by Alain
+ Bench).
+ + move _nc_handle_sigwinch() to lib_setup.c to make --with-termlib
+ option work after 20060114 changes (report by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz).
+ + add copyright notices to test-programs as needed (report by William
+ McBrine).
+
+20060318
+ + modify ncurses.c 'F' test to combine the wide-characters with color
+ and/or video attributes.
+ + modify test/ncurses to use CTL/Q or ESC consistently for exiting
+ a test-screen (some commands used 'x' or 'q').
+
+20060312
+ + fix an off-by-one in the scrolling-region change (cf_ 20060311).
+
+20060311
+ + add checks in waddchnstr() and wadd_wchnstr() to stop copying when
+ a null character is found (report by Igor Bogomazov).
+ + modify progs/Makefile.in to make "tput init" work properly with
+ cygwin, i.e., do not pass a ".exe" in the reference string used
+ in check_aliases (report by Samuel Thibault).
+ + add some checks to ensure current position is within scrolling
+ region before scrolling on a new line (report by Dan Gookin).
+ + change some NewChar() usage to static variables to work around
+ stack garbage introduced when cchar_t is not packed (Redhat #182024).
+
+20060225
+ + workarounds to build test/movewindow with PDcurses 2.7.
+ + fix for nsterm-16color entry (patch by Alain Bench).
+ + correct a typo in infocmp manpage (Debian #354281).
+
+20060218
+ + add nsterm-16color entry -TD
+ + updated mlterm terminfo entry -TD
+ + remove 970913 feature for copying subwindows as they are moved in
+ mvwin() (discussion with Bryan Christ).
+ + modify test/demo_menus.c to demonstrate moving a menu (both the
+ window and subwindow) using shifted cursor-keys.
+ + start implementing recursive mvwin() in movewindow.c (incomplete).
+ + add a fallback definition for GCC_PRINTFLIKE() in test.priv.h,
+ for movewindow.c (report by William McBrine).
+ + add help-message to test/movewindow.c
+
+20060211
+ + add test/movewindow.c, to test mvderwin().
+ + fix ncurses soft-key test so color changes are shown immediately
+ rather than delayed.
+ + modify ncurses soft-key test to hide the keys when exiting the test
+ screen.
+ + fixes to build test programs with PDCurses 2.7, e.g., its headers
+ rely on autoconf symbols, and it declares stubs for nonfunctional
+ terminfo and termcap entrypoints.
+
+20060204
+ + improved test/configure to build test/ncurses on HPUX 11 using the
+ vendor curses.
+ + documented ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS in the ncurses manpage, for the
+ benefit of developers who do not read INSTALL.
+
+20060128
+ + correct form library Window_To_Buffer() change (cf: 20040516), which
+ should ignore the video attributes (report by Ricardo Cantu).
+
+20060121
+ + minor fixes to xmc-glitch experimental code:
+ + suppress line-drawing
+ + implement max_attributes
+ tested with xterm.
+ + minor fixes for the database iterator.
+ + fix some buffer limits in c++ demo (comment by Falk Hueffner in
+ Debian #348117).
+
+20060114
+ + add toe -a option, to show all databases. This uses new private
+ interfaces in the ncurses library for iterating through the list of
+ databases.
+ + fix toe from 20000909 changes which made it not look at
+ $HOME/.terminfo
+ + make toe's -v option parameter optional as per manpage.
+ + improve SIGWINCH handling by postponing its effect during newterm(),
+ etc., when allocating screens.
+
+20060111
+ + modify wgetnstr() to return KEY_RESIZE if a sigwinch occurs. Use
+ this in test/filter.c
+ + fix an error in filter() modification which caused some applications
+ to fail.
+
+20060107
+ + check if filter() was called when getting the screensize. Keep it
+ at 1 if so (based on Redhat #174498).
+ + add extension nofilter().
+ + refined the workaround for ACS mapping.
+ + make ifdef's consistent in curses.h for the extended colors so the
+ header file can be used for the normal curses library. The header
+ file installed for extended colors is a variation of the
+ wide-character configuration (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
+
+20051231
+ + add a workaround to ACS mapping to allow applications such as
+ test/blue.c to use the "PC ROM" characters by masking them with
+ A_ALTCHARSET. This worked up til 5.5, but was lost in the revision
+ of legacy coding (report by Michael Deutschmann).
+ + add a null-pointer check in the wide-character version of
+ calculate_actual_width() (report by Victor Julien).
+ + improve test/ncurses 'd' (color-edit) test by allowing the RGB
+ values to be set independently (patch by William McBrine).
+ + modify test/configure script to allow building test programs with
+ PDCurses/X11.
+ + modified test programs to allow some to work with NetBSD curses.
+ Several do not because NetBSD curses implements a subset of X/Open
+ curses, and also lacks much of SVr4 additions. But it's enough for
+ comparison.
+ + update config.guess and config.sub
+
+20051224
+ + use BSD-specific fix for return-value from cgetent() from CVS where
+ an unknown terminal type would be reportd as "database not found".
+ + make tgetent() return code more readable using new symbols
+ TGETENT_YES, etc.
+ + remove references to non-existent "tctest" program.
+ + remove TESTPROGS from progs/Makefile.in (it was referring to code
+ that was never built in that directory).
+ + typos in curs_addchstr.3x, some doc files (noticed in OpenBSD CVS).
+
+20051217
+ + add use_legacy_coding() function to support lynx's font-switching
+ feature.
+ + fix formatting in curs_termcap.3x (report by Mike Frysinger).
+ + modify MKlib_gen.sh to change preprocessor-expanded _Bool back to
+ bool.
+
+20051210
+ + extend test/ncurses.c 's' (overlay window) test to exercise overlay(),
+ overwrite() and copywin() with different combinations of colors and
+ attributes (including background color) to make it easy to see the
+ effect of the different functions.
+ + corrections to menu/m_global.c for wide-characters (report by
+ Victor Julien).
+
+20051203
+ + add configure option --without-dlsym, allowing developers to
+ configure GPM support without using dlsym() (discussion with Michael
+ Setzer).
+ + fix wins_nwstr(), which did not handle single-column non-8bit codes
+ (Debian #341661).
+
+20051126
+ + move prototypes for wide-character trace functions from curses.tail
+ to curses.wide to avoid accidental reference to those if
+ _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined without ensuring that <wchar.h> is
+ included.
+ + add/use NCURSES_INLINE definition.
+ + change some internal functions to use int/unsigned rather than the
+ short equivalents.
+
+20051119
+ + remove a redundant check in lib_color.c (Debian #335655).
+ + use ld's -search_paths_first option on Darwin to work around odd
+ search rules on that platform (report by Christian Gennerat, analysis
+ by Andrea Govoni).
+ + remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro.
+ + ignore EINTR in tcgetattr/tcsetattr calls (Debian #339518).
+ + fix several bugs in test/bs.c (patch by Stephen Lindholm).
+
+20051112
+ + other minor fixes to cygwin based on tack -TD
+ + correct smacs in cygwin (Debian #338234, report by Baurzhan
+ Ismagulov, who noted that it was fixed in Cygwin).
+
+20051029
+ + add shifted up/down arrow codes to xterm-new as kind/kri strings -TD
+ + modify wbkgrnd() to avoid clearing the A_CHARTEXT attribute bits
+ since those record the state of multicolumn characters (Debian
+ #316663).
+ + modify werase to clear multicolumn characters that extend into
+ a derived window (Debian #316663).
+
+20051022
+ + move assignment from environment variable ESCDELAY from initscr()
+ down to newterm() so the environment variable affects timeouts for
+ terminals opened with newterm() as well.
+ + fix a memory leak in keyname().
+ + add test/demo_altkeys.c
+ + modify test/demo_defkey.c to exit from loop via 'q' to allow
+ leak-checking, as well as fix a buffer size in winnstr() call.
+
+20051015
+ + correct order of use-clauses in rxvt-basic entry which made codes for

+ + correct a typo in configure --with-bool option for the case where
+ --without-cxx is used (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
+ + add a note to INSTALL's discussion of --with-normal, pointing out

+
+20050917
+ + modify sed expression which computes path for /usr/lib/terminfo
+ symbolic link in install to ensure that it does not change unexpected
+ levels of the path (Gentoo #42336).
+ + modify default for --disable-lp64 configure option to reduce impact
+ on existing 64-bit builds. Enabling the _LP64 option may change the
+ size of chtype and mmask_t. However, for ABI 6, it is enabled by
+ default (report by Mike Frysinger).
+ + add configure script check for --enable-ext-mouse, bump ABI to 6 by

+ + update address for Free Software Foundation in tack's source.
+ + correct wins_wch(), which was not marking the filler-cells of
+ multi-column characters (cf: 20041023).
+
+20050910
+ + modify mouse initialization to ensure that Gpm_Open() is called only
+ once. Otherwise GPM gets confused in its initialization of signal
+ handlers (Debian #326709).
+
+20050903
+ + modify logic for backspacing in a multiline form field to ensure that

+ + remove comment about BUGS section of ncurses manpage (Debian #325481)
+
+20050827
+ + document some workarounds for shared and libtool library

+ arm-sa1100-linux-gnu-g++ (GCC) 4.0.1
+ (report by Frank van Vugt).
+
+20050820
+ + start updating documentation for upcoming 5.5 release.
+ + fix to make libtool and libtinfo work together again (cf: 20050122).
+ + fixes to allow building traces into libtinfo

+ + update llib-l* files.
+
+20050813
+ + modify initializers in c++ binding to build with old versions of g++.
+ + improve special case for 20050115 repainting fix, ensuring that if
+ the first changed cell is not a character that the range to be
+ repainted is adjusted to start at a character's beginning (Debian
+ #316663).
+
+20050806
+ + fixes to build on QNX 6.1
+ + improve configure script checks for Intel 9.0 compiler.
+ + remove #include's for libc.h (obsolete).
+ + adjust ifdef's in curses.priv.h so that when cross-compiling to
+ produce comp_hash and make_keys, no dependency on wchar.h is needed.
+ That simplifies the build-cppflags (report by Frank van Vugt).
+ + move modules related to key-binding into libtinfo to fix linkage
+ problem caused by 20050430 changes to MKkeyname.sh (report by

+ + updates/fixes for configure script macros from vile -TD
+ + make prism9's sgr string agree with the rest of the terminfo -TD
+ + make vt220's sgr0 string consistent with sgr string, do this for
+ several related cases -TD
+ + improve translation to termcap by filtering the 'me' (sgr0) strings
+ as in the runtime call to tgetent() (prompted by a discussion with
+ Thomas Klausner).
+ + improve tic check for sgr0 versus sgr(0), to help ensure that sgr0
+ resets line-drawing.
+
+20050716
+ + fix special cases for trimming sgr0 for hurd and vt220 (Debian
+ #318621).
+ + split-out _nc_trim_sgr0() from modifications made to tgetent(), to
+ allow it to be used by tic to provide information about the runtime
+ changes that would be made to sgr0 for termcap applications.
+ + modify make_sed.sh to make the group-name in the NAME section of
+ form/menu library manpage agree with the TITLE string when renaming
+ is done for Debian (Debian #78866).
+
+20050702

+ http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
+ + modify misc/shlib to work in test-directory.
+ + suppress $suffix in misc/run_tic.sh when cross-compiling. This
+ allows cross-compiles to use the host's tic program to handle the
+ "make install.data" step.
+ + improve description of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables in manpages
+ (prompted by report by Dave Ulrick).
+ + improve description of cross-compiling in INSTALL
+ + add NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html by Pradeep Padala

+ program.
+ + use $(LIBTOOL_UNINSTALL) symbol, overlooked in 20030830
+ + add configure options --with-chtype and --with-mmask-t, to allow
+ overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of the corresponding types.
+ + revise test for size of chtype (and mmask_t), which always returned
+ "long" due to an uninitialized variable (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
+
+20050611
+ + change _tracef's that used "%p" format for va_list values to ignore
+ that, since on some platforms those are not pointers.
+ + fixes for long-formats in printf's due to largefile support.
+
+20050604
+ + fixes for termcap support:
+ + reset pointer to _nc_curr_token.tk_name when the input stream is
+ closed, which could point to free memory (cf: 20030215).
+ + delink TERMTYPE data which is used by the termcap reader, so that
+ extended names data will be freed consistently.
+ + free pointer to TERMTYPE data in _nc_free_termtype() rather than
+ its callers.
+ + add some entrypoints for freeing permanently allocated data via
+ _nc_freeall() when NO_LEAKS is defined.
+ + amend 20041030 change to _nc_do_color to ensure that optimization is
+ applied only when the terminal supports back_color_erase (bce).

+20050528
+ + add sun-color terminfo entry -TD
+ + correct a missing assignment in c++ binding's method
+ NCursesPanel::UserPointer() from 20050409 changes.

+ ncurses/Makefile (Gentoo #89772).
+ + modify c++/demo.cc to build with g++ -fno-implicit-templates option
+ (patch by Mike Frysinger).
+ + modify tic to filter out long extended names when translating to
+ termcap format. Only two characters are permissible for termcap
+ capability names.
+
+20050430
+ + modify terminfo entries xterm-new and rxvt to add strings for
+ shift-, control-cursor keys.
+ + workaround to allow c++ binding to compile with g++ 2.95.3, which
+ has a broken implementation of static_cast<> (patch by Jeff Chua).
+ + modify initialization of key lookup table so that if an extended
+ capability (tic -x) string is defined, and its name begins with 'k',
+ it will automatically be treated as a key.
+ + modify test/keynames.c to allow for the possibility of extended
+ key names, e.g., via define_key(), or via "tic -x".

+
+20050423
+ + minor fixes for vt100/vt52 entries -TD
+ + add configure option --enable-largefile
+ + corrected libraries used to build Ada95/gen/gen, found in testing

+
+20050416
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+ + modify configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, disable that on
+ Darwin whose header files have problems (patch by Chris Zubrzycki).
+ + modify form library Is_Printable_String() to use iswprint() rather
+ than wcwidth() for determining if a character is printable. The
+ latter caused it to reject menu items containing non-spacing
+ characters.
+ + modify ncurses test program's F-test to handle non-spacing characters
+ by combining them with a reverse-video blank.
+ + review/fix several gcc -Wconversion warnings.
+
+20050409
+ + correct an off-by-one error in m_driver() for mouse-clicks used to
+ position the mouse to a particular item.

+ + modify C++ binding to make 20050403 changes work with the configure
+ --enable-const option.
+
+20050403
+ + modify start_color() to return ERR if it cannot allocate memory.
+ + address g++ compiler warnings in C++ binding by adding explicit
+ member initialization, assignment operators and copy constructors.
+ Most of the changes simply preserve the existing semantics of the
+ binding, which can leak memory, etc., but by making these features
+ visible, it provides a framework for improving the binding.
+ + improve C++ binding using static_cast, etc.
+ + modify configure script --enable-warnings to add options to g++ to
+ correspond to the gcc --enable-warnings.
+ + modify C++ binding to use some C internal functions to make it
+ compile properly on Solaris (and other platforms).
+
+20050327
+ + amend change from 20050320 to limit it to configurations with a
+ valid locale.
+ + fix a bug introduced in 20050320 which broke the translation of
+ nonprinting characters to uparrow form (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
+
+20050326
+ + add ifdef's for _LP64 in curses.h to avoid using wasteful 64-bits for
+ chtype and mmask_t, but add configure option --disable-lp64 in case
+ anyone used that configuration.
+ + update misc/shlib script to account for Mac OS X (report by Michail
+ Vidiassov).
+ + correct comparison for wrapping multibyte characters in
+ waddch_literal() (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
+
+20050320
+ + add -c and -w options to tset to allow user to suppress ncurses'
+ resizing of the terminal emulator window in the special case where it
+ is not able to detect the true size (report by Win Delvaux, Debian
+ #300419).
+ + modify waddch_nosync() to account for locale zn_CH.GBK, which uses
+ codes 128-159 as part of multibyte characters (report by Wang
+ WenRui, Debian #300512).
+
+20050319
+ + modify ncurses.c 'd' test to make it work with 88-color
+ configuration, i.e., by implementing scrolling.
+ + improve scrolling in ncurses.c 'c' and 'C' tests, e.g., for 88-color
+ configuration.
+
+20050312
+ + change tracemunch to use strict checking.
+ + modify ncurses.c 'p' test to test line-drawing within a pad.
+ + implement environment variable NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS to support
+ miscellaneous terminal emulators which ignore alternate character
+ set escape sequences when in UTF-8 mode.
+
+20050305
+ + change NCursesWindow::err_handler() to a virtual function (request by
+ Steve Beal).
+ + modify fty_int.c and fty_num.c to handle wide characters (report by
+ Wolfgang Gutjahr).
+ + adapt fix for fty_alpha.c to fty_alnum.c, which also handled normal
+ and wide characters inconsistently (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
+ + update llib-* files to reflect internal interface additions/changes.
+
+20050226
+ + improve test/configure script, adding tests for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc.,
+ from lynx.
+ + add aixterm-16color terminfo entry -TD
+ + modified xterm-new terminfo entry to work with tgetent() changes -TD
+ + extended changes in tgetent() from 20040710 to allow the substring of
+ sgr0 which matches rmacs to be at the beginning of the sgr0 string
+ (request by Thomas Wolff). Wolff says the visual effect in
+ combination with pre-20040710 ncurses is improved.
+ + fix off-by-one in winnstr() call which caused form field validation
+ of multibyte characters to ignore the last character in a field.
+ + correct logic in winsch() for inserting multibyte strings; the code
+ would clear cells after the insertion rather than push them to the
+ right (cf: 20040228).
+ + fix an inconsistency in Check_Alpha_Field() between normal and wide
+ character logic (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
+
+20050219
+ + fix a bug in editing wide-characters in form library: deleting a
+ nonwide character modified the previous wide-character.
+ + update manpage to describe NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2.
+ + correct manpage description of mouseinterval() (Debian #280687).
+ + add a note to default_colors.3x explaining why this extension was
+ added (Debian #295083).
+ + add traces to panel library.
+
+20050212
+ + improve editing of wide-characters in form library: left/right
+ cursor movement, and single-character deletions work properly.
+ + disable GPM mouse support when $TERM happens to be prefixed with
+ "xterm". Gpm_Open() would otherwise assert that it can deal with
+ mouse events in this case.
+ + modify GPM mouse support so it closes the server connection when
+ the caller disables the mouse (report by Stanislav Ievlev).
+
+20050205
+ + add traces for callback functions in form library.
+ + add experimental configure option --enable-ext-mouse, which defines
+ NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies the encoding of mouse events to
+ support wheel mice, which may transmit buttons 4 and 5. This works
+ with xterm and similar X terminal emulators (prompted by question by
+ Andreas Henningsson, this is also related to Debian #230990).
+ + improve configure macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE to
+ avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin.
+
+20050129
+ + merge remaining development changes for extended colors (mostly
+ complete, does not appear to break other configurations).
+ + add xterm-88color.dat (part of extended colors testing).
+ + improve _tracedump() handling of color pairs past 96.
+ + modify return-value from start_color() to return OK if colors have
+ already been started.
+ + modify curs_color.3x list error conditions for init_pair(),
+ pair_content() and color_content().
+ + modify pair_content() to return -1 for consistency with init_pair()
+ if it corresponds to the default-color.
+ + change internal representation of default-color to allow application
+ to use color number 255. This does not affect the total number of
+ color pairs which are allowed.
+ + add a top-level tags rule.
+
+20050122
+ + add a null-pointer check in wgetch() in case it is called without
+ first calling initscr().
+ + add some null-pointer checks for SP, which is not set by libtinfo.
+ + modify misc/shlib to ensure that absolute pathnames are used.
+ + modify test/Makefile.in, etc., to link test programs only against the
+ libraries needed, e.g., omit form/menu/panel library for the ones
+ that are curses-specific.
+ + change SP->_current_attr to a pointer, adjust ifdef's to ensure that
+ libtinfo.so and libtinfow.so have the same ABI. The reason for this
+ is that the corresponding data which belongs to the upper-level
+ ncurses library has a different size in each model (report by
+ Stanislav Ievlev).
+
+20050115
+ + minor fixes to allow test-compiles with g++.
+ + correct column value shown in tic's warnings, which did not account
+ for leading whitespace.
+ + add a check in _nc_trans_string() for improperly ended strings, i.e.,
+ where a following line begins in column 1.
+ + modify _nc_save_str() to return a null pointer on buffer overflow.
+ + improve repainting while scrolling wide-character data (Eungkyu Song).
+
+20050108
+ + merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
+
+20050101
+ + merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
+ + fix manpage typo (FreeBSD report docs/75544).
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+ > patches for configure script (Albert Chin-A-Young):
+ + improved fix to make mbstate_t recognized on HPUX 11i (cf:
+ 20030705), making vsscanf() prototype visible on IRIX64. Tested for
+ on HP-UX 11i, Solaris 7, 8, 9, AIX 4.3.3, 5.2, Tru64 UNIX 4.0D, 5.1,
+ IRIX64 6.5, Redhat Linux 7.1, 9, and RHEL 2.1, 3.0.
+ + print the result of the --disable-home-terminfo option.
+ + use -rpath when compiling with SGI C compiler.
+
+20041225
+ + add trace calls to remaining public functions in form and menu
+ libraries.
+ + fix check for numeric digits in test/ncurses.c 'b' and 'B' tests.
+ + fix typo in test/ncurses.c 'c' test from 20041218.
+
+20041218
+ + revise test/ncurses.c 'c' color test to improve use for xterm-88color
+ and xterm-256color, added 'C' test using the wide-character color_set
+ and attr_set functions.
+
+20041211
+ + modify configure script to work with Intel compiler.
+ + fix an limit-check in wadd_wchnstr() which caused labels in the
+ forms-demo to be one character short.
+ + fix typo in curs_addchstr.3x (Jared Yanovich).
+ + add trace calls to most functions in form and menu libraries.
+ + update working-position for adding wide-characters when window is
+ scrolled (prompted by related report by Eungkyu Song).
+
+20041204
+ + replace some references on Linux to wcrtomb() which use it to obtain
+ the length of a multibyte string with _nc_wcrtomb, since wcrtomb() is
+ broken in glibc (see Debian #284260).
+ + corrected length-computation in wide-character support for
+ field_buffer().
+ + some fixes to frm_driver.c to allow it to accept multibyte input.
+ + modify configure script to work with Intel 8.0 compiler.
+
+20041127
+ + amend change to setupterm() in 20030405 which would reuse the value
+ of cur_term if the same output was selected. This now reuses it only
+ when setupterm() is called from tgetent(), which has no notion of
+ separate SCREENs. Note that tgetent() must be called after initscr()
+ or newterm() to use this feature (Redhat Bugzilla #140326).
+ + add a check in CF_BUILD_CC macro to ensure that developer has given
+ the --with-build-cc option when cross-compiling (report by Alexandre
+ Campo).
+ + improved configure script checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE and
+ _POSIX_C_SOURCE (fix for IRIX 5.3 from Georg Schwarz, _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+ updates from lynx).
+ + cosmetic fix to test/gdc.c to recolor the bottom edge of the box
+ for consistency (comment by Dan Nelson).
+
+20041120
+ + update wsvt25 terminfo entry -TD
+ + modify test/ins_wide.c to test all flavors of ins_wstr().
+ + ignore filler-cells in wadd_wchnstr() when adding a cchar_t array
+ which consists of multi-column characters, since this function
+ constructs them (cf: 20041023).
+ + modify winnstr() to return multibyte character strings for the
+ wide-character configuration.
+
+20041106
+ + fixes to make slk_set() and slk_wset() accept and store multibyte
+ or multicolumn characters.
+
+20041030
+ + improve color optimization a little by making _nc_do_color() check
+ if the old/new pairs are equivalent to the default pair 0.
+ + modify assume_default_colors() to not require that
+ use_default_colors() be called first.
+
+20041023
+ + modify term_attrs() to use termattrs(), add the extended attributes
+ such as enter_horizontal_hl_mode for WA_HORIZONTAL to term_attrs().
+ + add logic in waddch_literal() to clear orphaned cells when one
+ multi-column character partly overwrites another.
+ + improved logic for clearing cells when a multi-column character
+ must be wrapped to a new line.
+ + revise storage of cells for multi-column characters to correct a
+ problem with repainting. In the old scheme, it was possible for
+ doupdate() to decide that only part of a multi-column character
+ should be repainted since the filler cells stored only an attribute
+ to denote them as fillers, rather than the character value and the
+ attribute.
+
+20041016
+ + minor fixes for traces.
+ + add SP->_screen_acs_map[], used to ensure that mapping of missing
+ line-drawing characters is handled properly. For example, ACS_DARROW
+ is absent from xterm-new, and it was coincidentally displayed the
+ same as ACS_BTEE.
+
+20041009
+ + amend 20021221 workaround for broken acs to reset the sgr, rmacs
+ and smacs strings as well. Also modify the check for screen's
+ limitations in that area to allow the multi-character shift-in
+ and shift-out which seem to work.
+ + change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it dynamically
+ at runtime (Debian #110586).
+
+20041002
+ + correct logic for color pair in setcchar() and getcchar() (patch by
+ Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
+ + add t/T commands to ncurses b/B tests to allow a different color to
+ be tested for the attrset part of the test than is used in the
+ background color.
+
+20040925
+ + fix to make setcchar() to work when its wchar_t* parameter is
+ pointing to a string which contains more data than can be converted.
+ + modify wget_wstr() and example in ncurses.c to work if wchar_t and
+ wint_t are different sizes (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
+
+20040918
+ + remove check in wget_wch() added to fix an infinite loop, appears to
+ have been working around a transitory glibc bug, and interferes
+ with normal operation (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
+ + correct wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not pass the rendition
+ information (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
+ + fix aclocal.m4 so that the wide-character version of ncurses gets
+ compiled as libncursesw.5.dylib, instead of libncurses.5w.dylib
+ (adapted from patch by James J Ramsey).
+ + change configure script for --with-caps option to indicate that it
+ is no longer experimental.
+ + change configure script to reflect the fact that --enable-widec has
+ not been "experimental" since 5.3 (report by Bruno Lustosa).
+
+20040911
+ + add 'B' test to ncurses.c, to exercise some wide-character functions.
+
+20040828
+ + modify infocmp -i option to match 8-bit controls against its table
+ entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry.
+ + add morphos terminfo entry, improve amiga-8bit entry (Pavel Fedin).
+ + correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap, e.g.,
+ using "tic -C" (Redhat Bugzilla #130921).
+ + modified configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to ensure that if

+
+20040508

+
+20040501
+ + modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by

+ + add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F"

+ + free some memory leaks in tic.
+ + remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending
+ beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner).
+ + remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
+ that extend beyond the screen. Solaris curses does this.
+ + add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older

+ + add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog.
+
+20040403
+ + modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond
+ to an unsigned char.

+
+20040328
+ + fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change.
+
+20040327
+ + modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's
+ current locale rather than using getenv(). This fixes a case in tin
+ which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale
+ is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen).
+ + add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD.
+ + add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr
+ string. This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with
+ color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places.
+ + correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the
+ original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before
+ 20030802 (Debian #237629).
+
+20040320
+ + modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of
+ A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from
+ being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the
+ raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879).
+
+20040313
+ + fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report
+ by Jim Idle).
+ + remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses
+ some apropos script (Debian #237831).
+
+20040306
+ + modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text,
+ set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing
+ mode is shown in that test.
+ + change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake.
+ + correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which
+ did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419).
+
+20040228
+ + modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a
+ multibyte string.
+ + split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it. X/Open states
+ that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other
+ insert-functions. Currently it does not wrap.
+ + check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by
+ Stanislav Ievlev).
+ + split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first.
+ + fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC,
+ which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report
+ by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev).
+
+20040221
+ + some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete
+ (request by Mike Aubury).
+ + add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of
+ stdbool.h, e.g.,
+ #define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0
+ #include <curses.h>
+ (discussion on XFree86 mailing list).
+
+20040214
+ + modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets
+ the name of the terminfo library. This would allow a packager to
+ build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion
+ with Stanislav Ievlev).
+ + improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and
+ $(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew).
+ + add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename
+ its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to
+ ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory
+ (prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs).
+
+20040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+ + update TO-DO.
+
+20040207 pre-release
+ + minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param,
+ and do not count %d if it follows a %p.
+ + correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255
+ range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests. In POSIX
+ locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former
+ did.
+ + modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac
+ OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix
+ verified by Scott Corscadden).
+
+20040131 pre-release
+ + modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors
+ to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo
+ (patch by Stanislav Ievlev).
+ + document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage.
+ + document special features of unctrl() in manpage.
+ + documented interface changes in INSTALL.
+ + corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale
+ (Debian #230335, cf: 971206).
+ + updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
+ + fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package.
+ + minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5.
+
+20040125 pre-release
+ + amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number
+ of cells for a possibly multi-cell character. The 20030614 change
+ forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not
+ greater than zero. However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the
+ range 128-255 can give this return value. The logic now simply
+ ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without
+ modifying the displayed value.
+
+20040124 pre-release
+ + looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above)
+ + modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since
+ that works better for cross-compiling.
+
+20040117 pre-release
+ + modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
+ work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
+ zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
+ + add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
+ to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
+ + add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
+ + add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
+ Bianchi).
+ + modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
+ (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz (see Debian
+ #227586)).
+ + correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
+ exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss (see Debian #224443)).
+ + modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
+ + remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
+ + make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
+ + improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
+ CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
+ + add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
+ simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
+ + add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
+ patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
+ + fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
+ HPUX .so/.sl case.
+ + resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
+ NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
+ + make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
+ will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
+ + rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool. The
+ intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
+ compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
+ does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).
+
+20040110 pre-release
+ + change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4
+ + revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W
+ Sittler).
+ + simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the
+ configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav
+ Ievlev).
+ + remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav
+ Ievlev).
+ + modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs
+ such as tic are not linked with the upper-level ncurses library
+ (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
+ + move version.c from ncurses/base to ncurses/tinfo to allow linking
+ of tic, etc., using libtinfo (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
+
+20040103
+ + adjust -D's to build ncursesw on OpenBSD.
+ + modify CF_PROG_EXT to make OS/2 build with EXEEXT.
+ + add pecho_wchar().
+ + remove <wctype.h> include from lib_slk_wset.c which is not needed (or
+ available) on older platforms.
+
+20031227
+ + add -D's to build ncursew on FreeBSD 5.1.
+ + modify shared library configuration for FreeBSD 4.x/5.x to add the
+ soname information (request by Marc Glisse).
+ + modify _nc_read_tic_entry() to not use MAX_ALIAS, but PATH_MAX only
+ for limiting the length of a filename in the terminfo database.
+ + modify termname() to return the terminal name used by setupterm()
+ rather than $TERM, without truncating to 14 characters as documented
+ by X/Open (report by Stanislav Ievlev, cf: 970719).
+ + re-add definition for _BSD_TYPES, lost in merge (cf: 20031206).
+
+20031220
+ + add configure option --with-manpage-format=catonly to address
+ behavior of BSDI, allow install of man+cat files on NetBSD, whose
+ behavior has diverged by requiring both to be present.
+ + remove leading blanks from comment-lines in manlinks.sed script to
+ work with Tru64 4.0d.
+ + add screen.linux terminfo entry (discussion on mutt-users mailing
+ list).
+
+20031213
+ + add a check for tic to flag missing backslashes for termcap
+ continuation lines. ncurses reads the whole entry, but termcap
+ applications do not.
+ + add configure option "--with-manpage-aliases" extending
+ "--with-manpage-aliases" to provide the option of generating ".so"
+ files rather than symbolic links for manpage aliases.
+ + add bool definition in include/curses.h.in for configurations with no
+ usable C++ compiler (cf: 20030607).
+ + fix pathname of SigAction.h for building with --srcdir (reported by
+ Mike Castle).
+
+20031206
+ + folded ncurses/base/sigaction.c into includes of ncurses/SigAction.h,
+ since that header is used only within ncurses/tty/lib_tstp.c, for
+ non-POSIX systems (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev).
+ + remove obsolete _nc_outstr() function (report by Stanislav Ievlev
+ <inger@altlinux.org>).
+ + add test/background.c and test/color_set.c
+ + modify color_set() function to work with color pair 0 (report by
+ George Andreou <gbandreo@tem.uoc.gr>).
+ + add configure option --with-trace, since defining TRACE seems too
+ awkward for some cases.
+ + remove a call to _nc_free_termtype() from read_termtype(), since the
+ corresponding buffer contents were already zeroed by a memset (cf:
+ 20000101).
+ + improve configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and related definitions,
+ adding special cases for Solaris' __EXTENSIONS__ and FreeBSD's
+ __BSD_TYPES (reports by Marc Glisse <marc.glisse@normalesup.org>).
+ + small fixes to compile on Solaris and IRIX64 using cc.
+ + correct typo in check for pre-POSIX sort options in MKkey_defs.sh

+ + correct expression for "%D" in lib_tgoto.c (Juha Jarvi
+ <mooz@welho.com>).
+
+20031122
+ + add linux-vt terminfo entry (Andrey V Lukyanov <land@long.yar.ru>).
+ + allow "\|" escape in terminfo; tic should not warn about this.
+ + save the full pathname of the trace-file the first time it is opened,
+ to avoid creating it in different directories if the application
+ opens and closes it while changing its working directory.
+ + modify configure script to provide a non-empty default for
+ $BROKEN_LINKER
+
+20031108
+ + add DJGPP to special case of DOS-style drive letters potentially
+ appearing in TERMCAP environment variable.
+ + fix some spelling in comments (reports by jmc, Jonathon Gray).
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20031101
+ + fix a memory leak in error-return from setupterm() (report by

+ + use EXEEXT and OBJEXT consistently in makefiles.
+ + amend fixes for cross-compiling to use separate executable-suffix
+ BUILD_EXEEXT (cf: 20031018).
+ + modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for sort utility that does not
+ recognize key options, e.g., busybox (report by Peter S Mazinger
+ <ps.m@gmx.net>).
+ + fix potential out-of-bounds indexing in _nc_infotocap() (found by
+ David Krause using some of the new malloc debugging features
+ under OpenBSD, patch by Ted Unangst).
+ + modify CF_LIB_SUFFIX for Itanium releases of HP-UX, which use a
+ ".so" suffix (patch by Jonathan Ward <Jonathan.Ward@hp.com>).
+
+20031025
+ + update terminfo for xterm-xfree86 -TD
+ + add check for multiple "tc=" clauses in a termcap to tic.
+ + check for missing op/oc in tic.
+ + correct _nc_resolve_uses() and _nc_merge_entry() to allow infocmp and
+ tic to show cancelled capabilities. These functions were ignoring
+ the state of the target entry, which should be untouched if cancelled.
+ + correct comment in tack/output.c (Debian #215806).
+ + add some null-pointer checks to lib_options.c (report by Michael
+ Bienia).
+ + regenerated html documentation.
+ + correction to tar-copy.sh, remove a trap command that resulted in
+ leaving temporary files (cf: 20030510).
+ + remove contact/maintainer addresses for Juergen Pfeifer (his request).
+
+20031018
+ + updated test/configure to reflect changes for libtool (cf: 20030830).
+ + fix several places in tack/pad.c which tested and used the parameter-
+ and parameterless strings inconsistently, i.e., in pad_rin(),
+ pad_il(), pad_indn() and pad_dl() (Debian #215805).
+ + minor fixes for configure script and makefiles to cleanup executables
+ generated when cross-compiling for DJGPP.
+ + modify infocmp to omit check for $TERM for operations that do not
+ require it, e.g., "infocmp -e" used to build fallback list (report by
+ Koblinger Egmont).
+
+20031004
+ + add terminfo entries for DJGPP.
+ + updated note about maintainer in ncurses-intro.html
+
+20030927
+ + update terminfo entries for gnome terminal.
+ + modify tack to reset colors after each color test, correct a place
+ where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode.
+ + improve tack's bce test by making it set colors other than black
+ on white.
+ + plug a potential recursion between napms() and _nc_timed_wait()
+ (report by Philippe Blain).
+
+20030920
+ + add --with-rel-version option to allow workaround to allow making
+ libtool on Darwin generate the "same" library names as with the
+ --with-shared option. The Darwin ld program does not work well
+ with a zero as the minor-version value (request by Chris Zubrzycki).
+ + modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro to work with cross-compiling.
+ + modify tack to allow it to run from fallback terminfo data.
+ > patch by Philippe Blain:
+ + improve PutRange() by adjusting call to EmitRange() and corresponding

+ + improve logic in TransformLine(), eliminating a duplicated comparison
+ in the clr_bol logic.
+
+20030913
+ > patch by Philippe Blain:
+ + in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
+ move the label 'nonlocal' just before the second gettimeofday() to
+ be able to compute the diff time when 'goto nonlocal' used.
+ Rename 'msec' to 'microsec' in the debug-message.
+ + in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
+ Use _nc_outch() in carriage return/newline movement instead of
+ putchar() which goes to stdout. Move test for xold>0 out of loop.
+ + in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c,
+ Set the flag SP->_buffered at the end of operations when all has been
+ successful (typeMalloc can fail).
+ + simplify NC_BUFFERED macro by moving check inside _nc_setbuf().
+
+20030906
+ + modify configure script to avoid using "head -1", which does not
+ work if POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set.
+ + modify run_tic.in to avoid using wrong shared libraries when
+ cross-compiling (Dan Kegel).
+
+20030830
+ + alter configure script help message to make it clearer that
+ --with-build-cc does not specify a cross-compiler (suggested by Dan
+ Kegel <dank@kegel.com>).
+ + modify configure script to accommodate libtool 1.5, as well as add an
+ parameter to the "--with-libtool" option which can specify the
+ pathname of libtool (report by Chris Zubrzycki). We note that
+ libtool 1.5 has more than one bug in its C++ support, so it is not
+ able to install libncurses++, for instance, if $DESTDIR or the option
+ --with-install-prefix is used.
+
+20030823
+ > patch by Philippe Blain:
+ + move assignments to SP->_cursrow, SP->_curscol into online_mvcur().
+ + make baudrate computation in delay_output() consistent with the

+
+20030816
+ + modify logic in waddch_literal() to take into account zh_TW.Big5
+ whose multibyte sequences may contain "printable" characters, e.g.,
+ a "g" in the sequence "\247g" (Debian #204889, cf: 20030621).
+ + improve storage used by _nc_safe_strcpy() by ensuring that the size
+ is reset based on the initialization call, in case it were called
+ after other strcpy/strcat calls (report by Philippe Blain).
+ > patch by Philippe Blain:

+20030809
+ + fix a small memory leak in _nc_free_termtype().
+ + close trace-file if trace() is called with a zero parameter.
+ + free memory allocated for soft-key strings, in delscreen().
+ + fix an allocation size in safe_sprintf.c for the "*" format code.
+ + correct safe_sprintf.c to not return a null pointer if the format
+ happens to be an empty string. This applies to the "configure
+ --enable-safe-sprintf" option (Redhat #101486).
+
+20030802
+ + modify casts used for ABSENT_BOOLEAN and CANCELLED_BOOLEAN (report by
+ Daniel Jacobowitz).
+ > patch by Philippe Blain:
+ + change padding for change_scroll_region to not be proportional to
+ the size of the scroll-region.
+ + correct error-return in _nc_safe_strcat().
+
+20030726
+ + correct limit-checks in _nc_scroll_window() (report and test-case by
+ Thomas Graf <graf@dms.at> cf: 20011020).
+ + re-order configure checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE to avoid conflict with
+ _GNU_SOURCE check.
+
+20030719
+ + use clr_eol in preference to blanks for bce terminals, so select and
+ paste will have fewer trailing blanks, e.g., when using xterm
+ (request by Vincent Lefevre).
+ + correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
+ + add configure --with-abi-version option (discussion with Charles
+ Wilson).
+ > cygwin changes from Charles Wilson:
+ + aclocal.m4: on cygwin, use autodetected prefix for import
+ and static lib, but use "cyg" for DLL.
+ + include/ncurses_dll.h: correct the comments to reflect current
+ status of cygwin/mingw port. Fix compiler warning.
+ + misc/run_tic.in: ensure that tic.exe can find the uninstalled
+ DLL, by adding the lib-directory to the PATH variable.
+ + misc/terminfo.src (nxterm|xterm-color): make xterm-color
+ primary instead of nxterm, to match XFree86's xterm.terminfo
+ usage and to prevent circular links.
+ (rxvt): add additional codes from rxvt.org.
+ (rxvt-color): new alias
+ (rxvt-xpm): new alias
+ (rxvt-cygwin): like rxvt, but with special acsc codes.
+ (rxvt-cygwin-native): ditto. rxvt may be run under XWindows, or
+ with a "native" MSWin GUI. Each takes different acsc codes,
+ which are both different from the "normal" rxvt's acsc.
+ (cygwin): cygwin-in-cmd.exe window. Lots of fixes.
+ (cygwinDBG): ditto.
+ + mk-1st.awk: use "cyg" for the DLL prefix, but "lib" for import
+ and static libs.
+
+20030712
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+ + add triples for configuring shared libraries with the Debian
+ GNU/FreeBSD packages (patch by Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>).
+
+20030705
+ + modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS so it only applies to gcc, not g++. Some
+ platforms have installed g++ along with the native C compiler, which
+ would not accept gcc warning options.
+ + add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 when configuring with --enable-widec, to
+ get mbstate_t declaration on HPUX 11.11 (report by David Ellement).
+ + add _nc_pathlast() to get rid of casts in _nc_basename() calls.
+ + correct a sign-extension in wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() from
+ 20030628 (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
+ + work around omission of btowc() and wctob() from wide-character
+ support (sic) in NetBSD 1.6 using mbtowc() and wctomb() (report by
+ Gabor Z Papp).
+ + add portability note to curs_get_wstr.3x (Debian #199957).
+
+20030628
+ + rewrite wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to call waddch() and wechochar()
+ respectively, to avoid calling waddch_noecho() with wide-character
+ data, since that function assumes its input is 8-bit data.
+ Similarly, modify waddnwstr() to call wadd_wch().
+ + remove logic from waddnstr() which transformed multibyte character
+ strings into wide-characters. Rewrite of waddch_literal() from
+ 20030621 assumes its input is raw multibyte data rather than wide
+ characters (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
+
+20030621
+ + write getyx() and related 2-return macros in terms of getcury(),
+ getcurx(), etc.
+ + modify waddch_literal() in case an application passes bytes of a
+ multibyte character directly to waddch(). In this case, waddch()
+ must reassemble the bytes into a wide-character (report by Tomohiro
+ Kubota <kubota@debian.org>).
+
+20030614
+ + modify waddch_literal() in case a multibyte value occupies more than
+ two cells.
+ + modify PutAttrChar() to compute the number of character cells that
+ are used in multibyte values. This fixes a problem displaying
+ double-width characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen
+ <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
+ + add a null-pointer check for result of keyname() in _tracechar()
+ + modify _tracechar() to work around glibc sprintf bug.
+
+20030607
+ + add a call to setlocale() in cursesmain.cc, making demo display
+ properly in a UTF-8 locale.
+ + add a fallback definition in curses.priv.h for MB_LEN_MAX (prompted
+ by discussion with Gabor Z Papp).
+ + use macros NCURSES_ACS() and NCURSES_WACS() to hide cast needed to
+ appease -Wchar-subscript with g++ 3.3 (Debian #195732).
+ + fix a redefinition of $RANLIB in the configure script when libtool
+ is used, which broke configure on Mac OS X (report by Chris Zubrzycki
+ <beren@mac.com>).
+ + simplify ifdef for bool declaration in curses.h.in (suggested by
+ Albert Chin-A-Young).
+ + remove configure script check to allow -Wconversion for older
+ versions of gcc (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young).
+
+20030531
+ + regenerated html manpages.
+ + modify ifdef's in curses.h.in that disabled use of __attribute__()
+ for g++, since recent versions implement the cases which ncurses uses
+ (Debian #195230).
+ + modify _nc_get_token() to handle a case where an entry has no
+ description, and capabilities begin on the same line as the entry
+ name.
+ + fix a typo in ncurses_dll.h reported by gcc 3.3.
+ + add an entry for key_defined.3x to man_db.renames.
+
+20030524
+ + modify setcchar() to allow converting control characters to complex
+ characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
+ + add tkterm entry -TD
+ + modify parse_entry.c to allow a terminfo entry with a leading
+ 2-character name (report by Don Libes).
+ + corrected acsc in screen.teraterm, which requires a PC-style mapping.
+ + fix trace statements in read_entry.c to use lseek() rather than
+ tell().
+ + fix signed/unsigned warnings from Sun's compiler (gcc should give
+ these warnings, but it is unpredictable).
+ + modify configure script to omit -Winline for gcc 3.3, since that
+ feature is broken.
+ + modify manlinks.sed to add a few functions that were overlooked since
+ they return function pointers: field_init, field_term, form_init,
+ form_term, item_init, item_term, menu_init and menu_term.
+
+20030517
+ + prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot
+ be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report
+ by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.com>).
+ + change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted
+ by Debian #192860).
+ + add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there
+ are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the
+ current test programs.
+ + corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not
+ convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it.
+ + corrections to lib_get_wstr.c:
+ + null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally
+ failed.
+ + map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into
+ key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not
+ mentioned in the terminfo.
+ + modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line
+ drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221).
+
+20030510
+ + make typography for program options in manpages consistent (report
+ by Miloslav Trmac <mitr@volny.cz>).
+ + correct dependencies in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, so the builds with
+ "--srcdir" work (report by Warren L Dodge).
+ + correct missing definition of $(CC) in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in
+ (reported by Warren L Dodge <warrend@mdhost.cse.tek.com>).
+ + fix typos and whitespace in manpages (patch by jmc
+ <jmc@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl>).
+
+20030503
+ + fix form_driver() cases for REQ_CLR_EOF, REQ_CLR_EOL, REQ_DEL_CHAR,
+ REQ_DEL_PREV and REQ_NEW_LINE, which did not ensure the cursor was at
+ the editing position before making modifications.
+ + add test/demo_forms and associated test/edit_field.c demos.
+ + modify test/configure.in to use test/modules for the list of objects
+ to compile rather than using the list of programs.
+
+20030419
+ + modify logic of acsc to use the original character if no mapping is
+ defined, noting that Solaris does this.
+ + modify ncurses 'b' test to avoid using the acs_map[] array since
+ 20021231 changes it to no longer contain information from the acsc
+ string.
+ + modify makefile rules in c++, progs, tack and test to ensure that
+ the compiler flags (e.g., $CFLAGS or $CCFLAGS) are used in the link
+ command (report by Jose Luis Rico Botella <informatica@serpis.com>).
+ + modify soft-key initialization to use A_REVERSE if A_STANDOUT would
+ not be shown when colors are used, i.e., if ncv#1 is set in the
+ terminfo as is done in "screen".
+
+20030412
+ + add a test for slk_color(), in ncurses.c
+ + fix some issues reported by valgrind in the slk_set() and slk_wset()
+ code, from recent rewrite.
+ + modify ncurses 'E' test to use show previous label via slk_label(),
+ as in 'e' test.
+ + modify wide-character versions of NewChar(), NewChar2() macros to
+ ensure that the whole struct is initialized.
+
+20030405
+ + modify setupterm() to check if the terminfo and terminal-modes have
+ already been read. This ensures that it does not reinvoke
+ def_prog_mode() when an application calls more than one function,
+ such as tgetent() and initscr() (report by Olaf Buddenhagen).
+
+20030329
+ + add 'E' test to ncurses.c, to exercise slk_wset().
+ + correct handling of carriage-return in wgetn_wstr(), used in demo of
+ slk_wset().
+ + first draft of slk_wset() function.
+
+20030322
+ + improved warnings in tic when suppressing items to fit in termcap's
+ 1023-byte limit.
+ + built a list in test/README showing which externals are being used
+ by either programs in the test-directory or via internal library
+ calls.
+ + adjust include-options in CF_ETIP_DEFINES to avoid missing
+ ncurses_dll.h, fixing special definitions that may be needed for
+ etip.h (reported by Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>).
+
+20030315
+ + minor fixes for cardfile.c, to make it write the updated fields to
+ a file when ^W is given.
+ + add/use _nc_trace_bufcat() to eliminate some fixed buffer limits in
+ trace code.
+
+20030308
+ + correct a case in _nc_remove_string(), used by define_key(), to avoid
+ infinite loop if the given string happens to be a substring of other
+ strings which are assigned to keys (report by John McCutchan).
+ + add key_defined() function, to tell which keycode a string is bound
+ to (discussion with John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org>).
+ + correct keybound(), which reported definitions in the wrong table,
+ i.e., the list of definitions which are disabled by keyok().
+ + modify demo_keydef.c to show the details it changes, and to check
+ for errors.
+
+20030301
+ + restructured test/configure script, make it work for libncursesw.
+ + add description of link_fieldtype() to manpage (report by
+ L Dee Holtsclaw <dee@sunbeltsoft.com>).
+
+20030222
+ + corrected ifdef's relating to configure check for wchar_t, etc.
+ + if the output is a socket or other non-tty device, use 1 millisecond
+ for the cost in mvcur; previously it was 9 milliseconds because the
+ baudrate was not known.
+ + in _nc_get_tty_mode(), initialize the TTY buffer on error, since
+ glibc copies uninitialized data in that case, as noted by valgrind.
+ + modify tput to use the same parameter analysis as tparm() does, to
+ provide for user-defined strings, e.g., for xterm title, a
+ corresponding capability might be
+ title=\E]2;%p1%s^G,
+ + modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid passing "#" tokens through the C
+ preprocessor. This works around Mac OS X's preprocessor, which
+ insists on adding a blank on each side of the token (report/analysis
+ by Kevin Murphy <murphy@genome.chop.edu>).
+
+20030215
+ + add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely
+ on preprocessor definitions. Also work around for gcc fixinclude
+ bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols
+ apparently typedef'd.
+ + if database is disabled, do not generate run_tic.sh
+ + minor fixes for memory-leak checking when termcap is read.
+
+20030208
+ + add checking in tic for incomplete line-drawing character mapping.
+ + update configure script to reflect fix for AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL,
+ which is broken in autoconf 2.5x for Mac OS X 10.2.3 (report by
+ Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl>).
+ + make return value from _nc_printf_string() consistent. Before,
+ depending on whether --enable-safe-sprintf was used, it might not be
+ cached for reallocating.
+
+20030201
+ + minor fixes for memory-leak checking in lib_tparm.c, hardscroll.c
+ + correct a potentially-uninitialized value if _read_termtype() does
+ not read as much data as expected (report by Wolfgang Rohdewald
+ <wr6@uni.de>).
+ + correct several places where the aclocal.m4 macros relied on cache
+ variable names which were incompatible (as usual) between autoconf
+ 2.13 and 2.5x, causing the test for broken-linker to give incorrect
+ results (reports by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl> and Thomas Esser
+ <te@dbs.uni-hannover.de>).
+ + do not try to open gpm mouse driver if standard output is not a tty;
+ the gpm library does not make this check (bug report for dialog
+ by David Oliveira <davidoliveira@develop.prozone.ws>).
+
+20030125
+ + modified emx.src to correspond more closely to terminfo.src, added
+ emx-base to the latter -TD
+ + add configure option for FreeBSD sysmouse, --with-sysmouse, and
+ implement support for that in lib_mouse.c, lib_getch.c
+
+20030118
+ + revert 20030105 change to can_clear_with(), does not work for the
+ case where the update is made on cells which are blanks with
+ attributes, e.g., reverse.
+ + improve ifdef's to guard against redefinition of wchar_t and wint_t
+ in curses.h (report by Urs Jansen).
+
+20030111
+ + improve mvcur() by checking if it is safe to move when video
+ attributes are set (msgr), and if not, reset/restore attributes
+ within that function rather than doing it separately in the GoTo()
+ function in tty_update.c (suggested by Philippe Blain).
+ + add a message in run_tic.in to explain more clearly what does not
+ work when attempting to create a symbolic link for /usr/lib/terminfo
+ on OS/2 and other platforms with no symbolic links (report by John
+ Polterak).
+ + change several sed scripts to avoid using "\+" since it is not a BRE
+ (basic regular expression). One instance caused terminfo.5 to be
+ misformatted on FreeBSD (report by Kazuo Horikawa
+ <horikawa@FreeBSD.org> (see FreeBSD docs/46709)).
+ + correct misspelled 'wint_t' in curs_get_wch.3x (Michael Elkins).
+
+20030105
+ + improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic
+ variables (comments by Mark I Manning IV <mark4th@earthlink.net>).
+ + demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to
+ use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a
+ specialized type for the middle initial/name.
+ + fix MKterminfo.sh, another workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature
+ of sed 4.0
+ > patch by Philippe Blain:
+ + optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter
+ is indeed a "blank".
+ + simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear
+ sections as small as one line.
+ + improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying
+ to use it.
+ + use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since
+ the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines
+ affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region.
+
+20021231
+ + rewrite of lib_acs.c conflicts with copying of SCREEN acs_map to/from
+ global acs_map[] array; removed the lines that did the copying.
+
+20021228
+ + change some overlooked tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp()
+ (report by Philippe Blain).
+ + modify lib_getch.c to avoid recursion via wgetnstr() when the input
+ is not a tty and consequently mode-changes do not work (report by
+ <R.Chamberlin@querix.com>).
+ + rewrote lib_acs.c to allow PutAttrChar() to decide how to render
+ alternate-characters, i.e., to work with Linux console and UTF-8
+ locale.
+ + correct line/column reference in adjust_window(), needed to make
+ special windows such as curscr track properly when resizing (report
+ by Lucas Gonze <lgonze@panix.com>).
+ > patch by Philippe Blain:
+ + correct the value used for blank in ClrBottom() (broken in 20000708).
+ + correct an off-by-one in GoTo() parameter in _nc_scrolln().
+
+20021221
+ + change several tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp(), to
+ enable padding which may be needed for some terminals (patch by
+ Philippe Blain).
+ + use '%' as sed substitute delimiter in run_tic script to avoid
+ problems with pathname delimiters such as ':' and '@' (report by John
+ Polterak).
+ + implement a workaround so that line-drawing works with screen's
+ crippled UTF-8 support (tested with 3.9.13). This only works with
+ the wide-character support (--enable-widec); the normal library will
+ simply suppress line-drawing when running in a UTF-8 locale in screen.
+
+20021214
+ + allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
+ overridden from the environment.
+ + make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with
+ the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki).
+ + modify ncurses/modules to allow
+ configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs
+ to build (report by Gary Samuelson).
+ + fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by
+ Gary Samuelson <gary.samuelson@verizon.com>).
+ + correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which
+ force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report
+ by Sam Varshavchik).
+ + small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which
+ gnatmake adds to its version-message.
+ > Maciej W Rozycki <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>:
+ + use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross
+ compiling.
+ + use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
+ comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
+ traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.
+ + change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host"
+ when referring to the --with-build-XXX options.
+
+20021206
+ + modify CF_GNAT_VERSION to print gnatmake's version, and to allow for
+ possible gnat versions such as 3.2 (report by Chris Lingard
+ <chris@stockwith.co.uk>).
+ + modify #define's for CKILL and other default control characters in
+ tset to use the system's default values if they are defined.
+ + correct interchanged defaults for kill and interrupt characters
+ in tset, which caused it to report unnecessarily (Debian #171583).
+ + repair check for missing C++ compiler, which is broken in autoconf
+ 2.5x by hardcoding it to g++ (report by Martin Mokrejs).
+ + update config.guess, config.sub (2002-11-30)
+ + modify configure script to skip --with-shared, etc., when the
+ --with-libtool option is given, since they would be ignored anyway.
+ + fix to allow "configure --with-libtool --with-termlib" to build.
+ + modify configure script to show version number of libtool, to help
+ with bug reports. libtool still gets confused if the installed
+ ncurses libraries are old, since it ignores the -L options at some
+ point (tested with libtool 1.3.3 and 1.4.3).
+ + reorder configure script's updating of $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to
+ prevent -I options in the user's environment from introducing
+ conflicts with the build -I options (may be related to reports by
+ Patrick Ash and George Goffe).
+ + rename test/define_key.c to test/demo_defkey.c, test/keyok.c to
+ test/demo_keyok.c to allow building these with libtool.
+
+20021123
+ + add example program test/define_key.c for define_key().
+ + add example program test/keyok.c for keyok().
+ + add example program test/ins_wide.c for wins_wch() and wins_wstr().
+ + modify wins_wch() and wins_wstr() to interpret tabs by using the
+ winsch() internal function.
+ + modify setcchar() to allow for wchar_t input strings that have
+ more than one spacing character.
+
+20021116
+ + fix a boundary check in lib_insch.c (patch by Philippe Blain).
+ + change type for *printw functions from NCURSES_CONST to const
+ (prompted by comment by Pedro Palhoto Matos <plpm@mega.ist.utl.pt>,
+ but really from a note on X/Open's website stating that either is
+ acceptable, and the latter will be used in a future revision).
+ + add xterm-1002, xterm-1003 terminfo entries to demonstrate changes in
+ lib_mouse.c (20021026) -TD
+ + add screen-bce, screen-s entries from screen 3.9.13 (report by
+ Adam Lazur <zal@debian.org>) -TD
+ + add mterm terminfo entries -TD
+
+20021109
+ + split-out useful fragments in terminfo for vt100 and vt220 numeric
+ keypad, i.e., vt100+keypad, vt100+pfkeys, vt100+fnkeys and
+ vt220+keypad. The last as embedded in various entries had ka3 and
+ kb2 interchanged (report/discussion with Leonard den Ottolander
+ <leonardjo@hetnet.nl>).
+ + add check in tic for keypads consistent with vt100 layout.
+ + improve checks in tic for color capabilities
+
+20021102
+ + check for missing/empty/illegal terminfo name in _nc_read_entry()
+ (report by Martin Mokrejs, where $TERM was set to an empty string).
+ + rewrote lib_insch.c, combining it with lib_insstr.c so both handle
+ tab and other control characters consistently (report by Philippe
+ Blain).
+ + remove an #undef for KEY_EVENT from curses.tail used in the
+ experimental NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS feature. The #undef confuses
+ dpkg's build script (Debian #165897).
+ + fix MKlib_gen.sh, working around the ironically named POSIXLY_CORRECT
+ feature of GNU sed 4.0 (reported by Ervin Nemeth <airwin@inf.bme.hu>).
+
+20021026
+ + implement logic in lib_mouse.c to handle position reports which are
+ generated when XFree86 xterm is initialized with private modes 1002
+ or 1003. These are returned to the application as the
+ REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION mask, which was not implemented. Tested both
+ with ncurses 'a' menu (prompted by discussion with Larry Riedel
+ <Larry@Riedel.org>).
+ + modify lib_mouse.c to look for "XM" terminfo string, which allows
+ one to override the escape sequence used to enable/disable mouse
+ mode. In particular this works for XFree86 xterm private modes
+ 1002 and 1003. If "XM" is missing (note that this is an extended
+ name), lib_mouse uses the conventional private mode 1000.
+ + correct NOT_LOCAL() macro in lib_mvcur.c to refer to screen_columns
+ where it used screen_lines (report by Philippe Blain).
+ + correct makefile rules for the case when both --with-libtool and
+ --with-gpm are given (report by Mr E_T <troll@logi.net.au>).
+ + add note to terminfo manpage regarding the differences between
+ setaf/setab and setf/setb capabilities (report by Pavel Roskin).
+
+20021019
+ + remove redundant initialization of TABSIZE in newterm(), since it is
+ already done in setupterm() (report by Philippe Blain).
+ + add test/inserts.c, to test winnstr() and winsch().
+ + replace 'sort' in dist.mk with script that sets locale to POSIX.
+ + update URLs in announce.html.in (patch by Frederic L W Meunier).
+ + remove glibc add-on files, which are no longer needed (report by
+ Frederic L W Meunier).
20021012 5.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+ modify ifdef's in etip.h.in to allow the etip.h header to compile
+ documented getbegx(), etc.
+ minor fixes to configure script to use '%' consistently as a sed
delimiter rather than '@'.
