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.
+20130202
+ + correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make
+ an incorrect move (cf: 20001028).
+ + improve documentation of the terminfo/termcap search path.
+
+20130126
+ + further fixes to mvcur to pass callback function (cf: 20130112),
+ needed to make test/dots_mvcur work.
+ + reduce calls to SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer in win_driver.c, to
+ help reduce flicker.
+ + modify configure script to omit "+b" from linker options for very
+ old HP-UX systems (report by Dennis Grevenstein)
+ + add HP-UX workaround for missing EILSEQ on old HP-UX systems (patch
+ by Dennis Grevenstein).
+ + restore memmove/strdup support for antique systems (request by
+ Dennis Grevenstein).
+ + change %l behavior in tparm to push the string length onto the stack
+ rather than saving the formatted length into the output buffer
+ (report by Roy Marples, cf: 980620).
+
+20130119
+ + fixes for issues found by Coverity:
+ + fix memory leak in safe_sprintf.c
+ + add check for return-value in tty_update.c
+ + correct initialization for -s option in test/view.c
+ + add check for numeric overflow in lib_instr.c
+ + improve error-checking in copywin
+ + add advice in infocmp manpage for termcap users (Debian #698469).
+ + add "-y" option to test/demo_termcap and test/demo_terminfo to
+ demonstrate behavior with/without extended capabilities.
+ + updated termcap manpage to document legacy termcap behavior for
+ matching capability names.
+ + modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate legacy
+ applications as well as to improve compatbility with BSD 4.2
+ termcap implementations (Debian #698299) (cf: 980725).
+
+20130112
+ + correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts.
+ + drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they
+ are unused in the current driver model.
+ + modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses
+ library.
+ + modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage.
+ + amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level
+ putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering.
+ The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674).
+
+20130105
+ + add "-s" option to test/view.c to allow it to start in single-step
+ mode, reducing size of trace files when it is used for debugging
+ MinGW changes.
+ + revert part of 20121222 change to tinfo_driver.c
+ + add experimental logic in win_driver.c to improve optimization of
+ screen updates. This does not yet work with double-width characters,
+ so it is ifdef'd out for the moment (prompted by report by Erwin
+ Waterlander regarding screen flicker).
+
+20121229
+ + fix coverity warnings regarding copying into fixed-size buffers.
+ + add throw-declarations in the c++ binding per Coverity warning.
+ + minor changes to new-items for consistent reference to bug-report
+ numbers.
+
+20121222
+ + add *.dSYM directories to clean-rule in ncurses directory makefile,
+ for Mac OS builds.
+ + add a configure check for gcc option -no-cpp-precomp, which is not
+ available in all Mac OS X configurations (report by Andras Salamon,
+ cf: 20011208).
+ + improve 20021221 workaround for broken acs, handling a case where
+ that ACS_xxx character is not in the acsc string but there is a known
+ wide-character which can be used.
+
+20121215
+ + fix several warnings from clang 3.1 --analyze, includes correcting
+ a null-pointer check in _nc_mvcur_resume.
+ + correct display of double-width characters with MinGW port (report
+ by Erwin Waterlander).
+ + replace MinGW's wcrtomb(), fixing a problem with _nc_viscbuf
+ > fixes based on Coverity report:
+ + correct coloring in test/bs.c
+ + correct check for 8-bit value in _nc_insert_ch().
+ + remove dead code in progs/tset.c, test/linedata.h
+ + add null-pointer checks in lib_tracemse.c, panel.priv.h, and some
+ test-programs.
+
+20121208
+ + modify test/knight.c to show the number of choices possible for
+ each position in automove option, e.g., to allow user to follow
+ Warnsdorff's rule to solve the puzzle.
+ + modify test/hanoi.c to show the minimum number of moves possible for
+ the given number of tiles (prompted by patch by Lucas Gioia).
+ > fixes based on Coverity report:
+ + remove a few redundant checks.
+ + correct logic in test/bs.c, when randomly placing a specific type of
+ ship.
+ + check return value from remove/unlink in tic.
+ + check return value from sscanf in test/ncurses.c
+ + fix a null dereference in c++/cursesw.cc
+ + fix two instances of uninitialized variables when configuring for the
+ terminal driver.

+ + set umask when calling mkstemp in tic.
+ + initialize wbkgrndset() temporary variable when extended-colors are
+ used.
+
+20121201
+ + also replace MinGW's wctomb(), fixing a problem with setcchar().
+ + modify test/view.c to load UTF-8 when built with MinGW by using
+ regular win32 API because the MinGW functions mblen() and mbtowc()
+ do not work.
+
+20121124
+ + correct order of color initialization versus display in some of the
+ test-programs, e.g., test_addstr.c
+ > fixes based on Coverity report:
+ + delete windows on exit from some of the test-programs.
+
+20121117
+ > fixes based on Coverity report:
+ + add missing braces around FreeAndNull in two places.
+ + various fixes in test/ncurses.c
+ + improve limit-checks in tinfo/make_hash.c, tinfo/read_entry.c
+ + correct malloc size in progs/infocmp.c
+ + guard against negative array indices in test/knight.c
+ + fix off-by-one limit check in test/color_name.h
+ + add null-pointer check in progs/tabs.c, test/bs.c, test/demo_forms.c,
+ test/inchs.c
+ + fix memory-leak in tinfo/lib_setup.c, progs/toe.c,
+ test/clip_printw.c, test/demo_menus.c
+ + delete unused windows in test/chgat.c, test/clip_printw.c,
+ test/insdelln.c, test/newdemo.c on error-return.
+
+20121110
+ + modify configure macro CF_INCLUDE_DIRS to put $CPPFLAGS after the
+ local -I include options in case someone has set conflicting -I
+ options in $CPPFLAGS (prompted by patch for ncurses/Makefile.in by
+ Vassili Courzakis).
+ + modify the ncurses*-config scripts to eliminate relative paths from
+ the RPATH_LIST variable, e.g., "../lib" as used in installing shared
+ libraries or executables.
+
+20121102
+ + realign these related pages:
+ curs_add_wchstr.3x
+ curs_addchstr.3x
+ curs_addstr.3x
+ curs_addwstr.3x
+ and fix a long-ago error in curs_addstr.3x which said that a -1
+ length parameter would only write as much as fit onto one line
+ (report by Reuben Thomas).
+ + remove obsolete fallback _nc_memmove() for memmove()/bcopy().
+ + remove obsolete fallback _nc_strdup() for strdup().
+ + cancel any debug-rpm in package/ncurses.spec
+ + reviewed vte-2012, reverted most of the change since it was incorrect
+ based on testing with tack -TD
+ + un-cancel the initc in vte-256color, since this was implemented
+ starting with version 0.20 in 2009 -TD
+
+20121026
+ + improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
+ #866989).
+ + add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.
+ + updated configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_WITH_PATHLIST. The
+ first corrects pattern used for Mac OS X's customization of gcc.
+
+20121017
+ + fix change to _nc_scroll_optimize(), which incorrectly freed memory
+ (Redhat #866989).
+
+20121013
+ + add vte-2012, gnome-2012, making these the defaults for vte/gnome
+ (patch by Christian Persch).
+
+20121006
+ + improve CF_GCC_VERSION to work around Debian's customization of gcc
+ --version message.
+ + improve configure macros as done in byacc:
+ + drop 2.13 compatibility; use 2.52.xxxx version only since EMX port
+ has used that for a while.
+ + add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE's to allow autoheader to run, i.e.,
+ for experimental use.
+ + remove unused configure macros.
+ + modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
+ for LIBS_TO_MAKE variable.
+ + modify configure script to show $PATH_SEPARATOR variable.
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20120922
+ + modify setupterm to set its copy of TERM to "unknown" if configured
+ for the terminal driver and TERM was null or empty.
+ + modify treatment of TERM variable for MinGW port to allow explicit
+ use of the windows console driver by checking if $TERM is set to
+ "#win32con" or an abbreviation of that.
+ + undo recent change to fallback definition of vsscanf() to build with
+ older Solaris compilers (cf: 20120728).
+
+20120908
+ + add test-screens to test/ncurses to show 256-characters at a time,
+ to help with MinGW port.
+
+20120903
+ + simplify varargs logic in lib_printw.c; va_copy is no longer needed
+ there.
+ + modifications for MinGW port to make wide-character display usable.
+
+20120902
+ + regenerate configure script (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20120901).
+
+20120901
+ + add a null-pointer check in _nc_flush (cf: 20120825).

+ might not be allocated.
+ + improve comparisons in configure.in for unset shell variables.
+
+20120826
+ + increase size of ncurses' output-buffer, in case of very small
+ initial screen-sizes.
+ + fix evaluation of TERMINFO and TERMINFO_DIRS default values as needed
+ after changes to use --datarootdir (reports by Gabriele Balducci,
+ Roumen Petrov).
+
+20120825
+ + change output buffering scheme, using buffer maintained by ncurses
+ rather than stdio, to avoid problems with SIGTSTP handling (report
+ by Brian Bloniarz).
+
+20120811
+ + update autoconf patch to 2.52.20120811, adding --datarootdir
+ (prompted by discussion with Erwin Waterlander).
+ + improve description of --enable-reentrant option in README and the
+ INSTALL file.
+ + add nsterm-256color, make this the default nsterm -TD
+ + remove bw from nsterm-bce, per testing with tack -TD
+
+20120804
+ + update test/configure, adding check for tinfo library.
+ + improve limit-checks for the getch fifo (report by Werner Fink).
+ + fix a remaining mismatch between $with_echo and the symbols updated
+ for CF_DISABLE_ECHO affecting parameters for mk-2nd.awk (report by
+ Sven Joachim, cf: 20120317).
+ + modify followup check for pkg-config's library directory in the
+ --enable-pc-files option to validate syntax (report by Sven Joachim,
+ cf: 20110716).
+
+20120728
+ + correct path for ncurses_mingw.h in include/headers, in case build
+ is done outside source-tree (patch by Roumen Petrov).
+ + modify some older xterm entries to align with xterm source -TD
+ + separate "xterm-old" alias from "xterm-r6" -TD
+ + add E3 extended capability to xterm-basic and putty -TD
+ + parenthesize parameters of other macros in curses.h -TD
+ + parenthesize parameter of COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER in curses.h
+ in case it happens to be a comma-expression, etc. (patch by Nick
+ Black).
+
+20120721
+ + improved form_request_by_name() and menu_request_by_name().
+ + eliminate two fixed-size buffers in toe.c
+ + extend use_tioctl() to have expected behavior when use_env(FALSE) and
+ use_tioctl(TRUE) are called.
+ + modify ncurses test-program, adding -E and -T options to demonstrate
+ use_env() versus use_tioctl().
+
+20120714
+ + add use_tioctl() function (adapted from patch by Werner Fink,
+ Novell #769788):
+
+20120707
+ + add ncurses_mingw.h to installed headers (prompted by patch by
+ Juergen Pfeifer).
+ + clarify return-codes from wgetch() in response to SIGWINCH (prompted
+ by Novell #769788).
+ + modify resizeterm() to always push a KEY_RESIZE onto the fifo, even
+ if screensize is unchanged. Modify _nc_update_screensize() to push a
+ KEY_RESIZE if there was a SIGWINCH, even if it does not call
+ resizeterm(). These changes eliminate the case where a SIGWINCH is
+ received, but ERR returned from wgetch or wgetnstr because the screen
+ dimensions did not change (Novell #769788).
+
+20120630
+ + add --enable-interop to sample package scripts (suggested by Juergen
+ Pfeifer).
+ + update CF_PATH_SYNTAX macro, from mawk changes.

+ + fix caching of environment variables in database-iterator (patch by
+ Philippe Troin, Redhat #831366).
+
+20120616
+ + add configure check to distinguish clang from gcc to eliminate
+ warnings about unused command-line parameters when compiler warnings
+ are enabled.
+ + improve behavior when updating terminfo entries which are hardlinked
+ by allowing for the possibility that an alias has been repurposed to
+ a new primary name.
+ + fix some strict compiler warnings based on package scripts.
+ + further fixes for configure check for working poll (Debian #676461).
+
+20120608
+ + fix an uninitialized variable in -c/-n logic for infocmp changes
+ (cf: 20120526).
+ + corrected fix for building c++ binding with clang 3.0 (report/patch
+ by Richard Yao, Gentoo #417613, cf: 20110409)
+ + correct configure check for working poll, fixing the case where stdin
+ is redirected, e.g., in rpm/dpkg builds (Debian #676461).
+ + add rpm- and dpkg-scripts, to test those build-environments.
+ The resulting packages are used only for testing.
+
+20120602
+ + add kdch1 aka "Remove" to vt220 and vt220-8 entries -TD
+ + add kdch1, etc., to qvt108 -TD
+ + add dl1/il1 to some entries based on dl/il values -TD

+ entries loaded from the last-but-one of files specified on the
+ command-line.
+ + add kdch1 to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (reported by David Lord,
+ analysis by Martin Husemann).
+ + add cnorm/civis to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (report/analysis by
+ Onno van der Linden).
+
+20120526
+ + extend -c and -n options of infocmp to allow comparing more than two
+ entries.
+ + correct check in infocmp for number of terminal names when more than
+ two are given.
+ + correct typo in curs_threads.3x (report by Yanhui Shen on
+ freebsd-hackers mailing list).
+
+20120512
+ + corrected 'op' for bterm (report by Samuel Thibault) -TD
+ + modify test/background.c to demonstrate a background character
+ holding a colored ACS_HLINE. The behavior differs from SVr4 due to
+ the thick- and double-line extension (cf: 20091003).
+ + modify handling of acs characters in PutAttrChar to avoid mapping an
+ unmapped character to a space with A_ALTCHARSET set.
+ + rewrite vt520 entry based on vt420 -TD
+
+20120505
+ + remove p6 (bold) from opus3n1+ for consistency -TD
+ + remove acs stuff from env230 per clues in Ingres termcap -TD
+ + modify env230 sgr/sgr0 to match other capabilities -TD
+ + modify smacs/rmacs in bq300-8 to match sgr/sgr0 -TD
+ + make sgr for dku7202 agree with other caps -TD
+ + make sgr for ibmpc agree with other caps -TD

+ + make sgr for ndr9500 agree with other caps -TD
+ + make sgr for sco-ansi agree with other caps -TD
+ + make sgr for d410 agree with other caps -TD
+ + make sgr for d210 agree with other caps -TD
+ + make sgr for d470c, d470c-7b agree with other caps -TD
+ + remove redundant AC_DEFINE for NDEBUG versus Makefile definition.
+ + fix a back-link in _nc_delink_entry(), which is needed if ncurses is
+ configured with --enable-termcap and --disable-getcap.
+
+20120428
+ + fix some inconsistencies between vt320/vt420, e.g., cnorm/civis -TD
+ + add eslok flag to dec+sl -TD
+ + dec+sl applies to vt320 and up -TD
+ + drop wsl width from xterm+sl -TD
+ + reuse xterm+sl in putty and nsca-m -TD
+ + add ansi+tabs to vt520 -TD
+ + add ansi+enq to vt220-vt520 -TD
+ + fix a compiler warning in example in ncurses-intro.doc (Paul Waring).
+ + added paragraph in keyname manpage telling how extended capabilities
+ are interpreted as key definitions.
+ + modify tic's check of conflicting key definitions to include extended
+ capability strings in addition to the existing check on predefined
+ keys.
+
+20120421
+ + improve cleanup of temporary files in tic using atexit().
+ + add msgr to vt420, similar DEC vtXXX entries -TD
+ + add several missing vt420 capabilities from vt220 -TD
+ + factor out ansi+pp from several entries -TD
+ + change xterm+sl and xterm+sl-twm to include only the status-line
+ capabilities and not "use=xterm", making them more generally useful
+ as building-blocks -TD
+ + add dec+sl building block, as example -TD
+
+20120414
+ + add XT to some terminfo entries to improve usefulness for other
+ applications than screen, which would like to pretend that xterm's
+ title is a status-line. -TD
+ + change use-clauses in ansi-mtabs, hp2626, and hp2622 based on review
+ of ordering and overrides -TD
+ + add consistency check in tic for screen's "XT" capability.
+ + add section in terminfo.src summarizing the user-defined capabilities
+ used in that file -TD
+
+20120407
+ + fix an inconsistency between tic/infocmp "-x" option; tic omits all
+ non-standard capabilities, while infocmp was ignoring only the user
+ definable capabilities.
+ + improve special case in tic parsing of description to allow it to be
+ followed by terminfo capabilities. Previously the description had to
+ be the last field on an input line to allow tic to distinguish
+ between termcap and terminfo format while still allowing commas to be
+ embedded in the description.
+ + correct variable name in gen_edit.sh which broke configurability of
+ the --with-xterm-kbs option.
+ + revert 2011-07-16 change to "linux" alias, return to "linux2.2" -TD
+ + further amend 20110910 change, providing for configure-script
+ override of the "linux" terminfo entry to install and changing the
+ default for that to "linux2.2" (Debian #665959).
+
+20120331
+ + update Ada95/configure to use CF_DISABLE_ECHO (cf: 20120317).
+ + correct order of use-clauses in st-256color -TD
+ + modify configure script to look for gnatgcc if the Ada95 binding
+ is built, in preference to the default gcc/cc (suggested by
+ Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ + modify configure script to ensure that the same -On option used for
+ the C compiler in CFLAGS is used for ADAFLAGS rather than simply
+ using "-O3" (suggested by Nicolas Boulenguez)
+
+20120324
+ + amend an old fix so that next_char() exits properly for empty files,
+ e.g., from reading /dev/null (cf: 20080804).
+ + modify tic so that it can read from the standard input, or from
+ a character device. Because tic uses seek's, this requires writing
+ the data to a temporary file first (prompted by remark by Sven
+ Joachim) (cf: 20000923).
+
+20120317
+ + correct a check made in lib_napms.c, so that terminfo applications
+ can again use napms() (cf: 20110604).
+ + add a note in tic.h regarding required casts for ABSENT_BOOLEAN
+ (cf: 20040327).
+ + correct scripting for --disable-echo option in test/configure.
+ + amend check for missing c++ compiler to work when no error is
+ reported, and no variables set (cf: 20021206).
+ + add/use configure macro CF_DISABLE_ECHO.
+
+20120310
+ + fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits.
+ + use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303).
+ + improve a limit-check in infocmp.c (Werner Fink):
+
+20120303
+ + minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation
+ regarding mapping of \0 to \200
+ + minor improvement to _nc_copy_termtype(), using memcpy to replace
+ loops.
+ + fix no-leaks checking in test/demo_termcap.c to account for multiple
+ calls to setupterm().
+ + modified the libgpm change to show previous load as a problem in the
+ debug-trace.
+ > merge some patches from OpenSUSE rpm (Werner Fink):
+ + ncurses-5.7-printw.dif, fixes for varargs handling in lib_printw.c
+ + ncurses-5.7-gpm.dif, do not dlopen libgpm if already loaded by
+ runtime linker
+ + ncurses-5.6-fallback.dif, do not free arrays and strings from static
+ fallback entries
+
+20120228
+ + fix breakage in tic/infocmp from 20120225 (report by Werner Fink).
+
+20120225
+ + modify configure script to allow creating dll's for MinGW when
+ cross-compiling.
+ + add --enable-string-hacks option to control whether strlcat and
+ strlcpy may be used. The same issue applies to OpenBSD's warnings
+ about snprintf, noting that this function is weakly standardized.
+ + add configure checks for strlcat, strlcpy and snprintf, to help
+ reduce bogus warnings with OpenBSD builds.
+ + build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 to supply consistent intptr_t declaration
+ (cf:20111231)
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20120218
+ + correct CF_ETIP_DEFINES configure macro, making it exit properly on
+ the first success (patch by Pierre Labastie).
+ + improve configure macro CF_MKSTEMP by moving existence-check for
+ mkstemp out of the AC_TRY_RUN, to help with cross-compiles.
+ + improve configure macro CF_FUNC_POLL from luit changes to detect
+ broken implementations, e.g., with Mac OS X.
+ + add configure option --with-tparm-arg
+ + build-fix for MinGW cross-compiling, so that make_hash does not
+ depend on TTY definition (cf: 20111008).
+
+20120211
+ + make sgr for xterm-pcolor agree with other caps -TD
+ + make sgr for att5425 agree with other caps -TD

+ + make sgr for cygwin, cygwinDBG agree with other caps -TD
+ + add configure option --with-xterm-kbs to simplify configuration for
+ Linux versus most other systems.
+
+20120204

+ + make sgr for aaa-unk, aaa-rv agree with other caps -TD
+ + make sgr for avt-ns agree with other caps -TD
+ + amend fix intended to separate fixups for acsc to allow "tic -cv" to
+ give verbose warnings (cf: 20110730).
+ + modify misc/gen-edit.sh to make the location of the tabset directory
+ consistent with misc/Makefile.in, i.e., using ${datadir}/tabset
+ (Debian #653435, patch by Sven Joachim).

+20111217
+ + review/fix places in manpages where --program-prefix configure option
+ was not being used.
+ + add -D option to infocmp, to show the database locations that it
+ could use.
+ + fix build for the special case where term-driver, ticlib and termlib
+ are all enabled. The terminal driver depends on a few features in
+ the base ncurses library, so tic's dependencies include both ncurses
+ and termlib.
+ + fix build work for term-driver when --enable-wgetch-events option is
+ enabled.
+ + use <stdint.h> types to fix some questionable casts to void*.
+
+20111210
+ + modify configure script to check if thread library provides
+ pthread_mutexattr_settype(), e.g., not provided by Solaris 2.6
+ + modify configure script to suppress check to define _XOPEN_SOURCE
+ for IRIX64, since its header files have a conflict versus
+ _SGI_SOURCE.
+ + modify configure script to add ".pc" files for tic- and
+ tinfo-libraries, which were omitted in recent change (cf: 20111126).
+ + fix inconsistent checks on $PKG_CONFIG variable in configure script.
+
+20111203
+ + modify configure-check for etip.h dependencies, supplying a temporary

+ + modify CF_CPP_PARAM_INIT "main" function to work with current C++.
+
+20111126
+ + correct database iterator's check for duplicate entries
+ (cf: 20111001).
+ + modify database iterator to ignore $TERMCAP when it is not an

+ + improve description of database locations in tic manpage.
+ + modify the configure script to generate a list of the ".pc" files to

+
+20111119
+ + remove obsolete/conflicting fallback definition for _POSIX_SOURCE
+ from curses.priv.h, fixing a regression with IRIX64 and Tru64
+ (cf: 20110416)
+ + modify _nc_tic_dir() to ensure that its return-value is nonnull,
+ i.e., the database iterator was not initialized. This case is needed
+ to when tic is translating to termcap, rather than loading the
+ database (cf: 20111001).
+
+20111112
+ + add pccon entries for OpenBSD console (Alexei Malinin).
+ + build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 with gcc 4.2.1, setting _XOPEN_SOURCE to

+ _POSIX_SOURCE are defined.
+ + fix a typo misc/Makefile.in, used in uninstalling pc-files.
+
+20111030
+ + modify make_db_path() to allow creating "terminfo.db" in the same
+ directory as an existing "terminfo" directory. This fixes a case
+ where switching between hashed/filesystem databases would cause the
+ new hashed database to be installed in the next best location -
+ root's home directory.
+ + add variable cf_cv_prog_gnat_correct to those passed to
+ config.status, fixing a problem with Ada95 builds (cf: 20111022).
+ + change feature test from _XPG5 to _XOPEN_SOURCE in two places, to
+ accommodate broken implementations for _XPG6.
+ + eliminate usage of NULL symbol from etip.h, to reduce header
+ interdependencies.
+ + add configure check to decide when to add _XOPEN_SOURCE define to
+ compiler options, i.e., for Solaris 10 and later (cf: 20100403).
+ This is a workaround for gcc 4.6, which fails to build the c++
+ binding if that symbol is defined by the application, due to
+ incorrectly combining the corresponding feature test macros
+ (report by Peter Kruse).
+
+20111022
+ + correct logic for discarding mouse events, retaining the partial
+ events used to build up click, double-click, etc, until needed
+ (cf: 20110917).
+ + fix configure script to avoid creating unused Ada95 makefile when
+ gnat does not work.
+ + cleanup width-related gcc 3.4.3 warnings for 64-bit platform, for the
+ internal functions of libncurses. The external interface of courses
+ uses bool, which still produces these warnings.
+
+20111015
+ + improve description of --disable-tic-depends option to make it
+ clear that it may be useful whether or not the --with-termlib
+ option is also given (report by Sven Joachim).
+ + amend termcap equivalent for set_pglen_inch to use the X/Open
+ "YI" rather than the obsolete Solaris 2.5 "sL" (cf: 990109).
+ + improve manpage for tgetent differences from termcap library.
+
+20111008
+ + moved static data from db_iterator.c to lib_data.c
+ + modify db_iterator.c for memory-leak checking, fix one leak.
+ + modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to use Requires.private for the parts
+ of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the
+ other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728).
+
+20111001
+ + modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force
+ source-output. That allows the same flag to control the parser for
+ input and output of termcap source.
+ + modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line,
+ making it consistent with ncurses' parser.
+ + restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap
+ text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924).
+ + modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the
+ conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is
+ normally following in the source file. Also improved the warning
+ message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem.
+ + improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list.
+
+20110925
+ + add a missing "else" in changes to _nc_read_tic_entry().
+
+20110924

+ + updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
+ + modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
+ TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
+ to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick

+ + build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (cf: 20110917).
+
+20110917
+ + fix compiler warning for clang 2.9

+ + correct mask-check used in lib_mouse for wheel mouse buttons 4/5
+ (patch by Damien Guibouret).
+
+20110910
+ + modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with
+ the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0"
+ (cf: 20110716).
+ + revert a change to getmouse() which had the undesirable side-effect
+ of suppressing button-release events (report by Damien Guibouret,
+ cf: 20100102).
+ + add xterm+kbs fragment from xterm #272 -TD
+ + add configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir to provide control over

+ + fix typo in tset manpage (patch by Sven Joachim).
+
+20110820
+ + add a check to ensure that termcap files which might have "^?" do

+ + minor cleanup of X-terminal emulator section of terminfo.src -TD
+ + add terminator entry -TD
+ + add simpleterm entry -TD
+ + improve wattr_get macros by ensuring that if the window pointer is

+
+20110813
+ + add substitution for $RPATH_LIST to misc/ncurses-config.in
+ + improve performance of tic with hashed-database by caching the
+ database connection, using atexit() to cleanup.
+ + modify treatment of 2-character aliases at the beginning of termcap
+ entries so they are not counted in use-resolution, since these are
+ guaranteed to be unique. Also ignore these aliases when reporting

+ + add a null-pointer check when handling the $CC variable.
+
+20110730
+ + modify configure script and makefiles in c++ and progs to allow the
+ directory used for rpath option to be overridden, e.g., to work
+ around updates to the variables used by tic during an install.
+ + add -K option to tic/infocmp, to provide stricter BSD-compatibility
+ for termcap output.
+ + add _nc_strict_bsd variable in tic library which controls the
+ "strict" BSD termcap compatibility from 20110723, plus these
+ features:
+ + allow escapes such as "\8" and "\9" when reading termcap

+ + fix a few memory leaks in _nc_tgetent.
+ + fix a few places where reading from a termcap file could refer to
