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.
+20211018
+ + check for screen size-change in scr_init() and scr_restore(), in case
+ a screen dump does not match the current screen dimensions (report by
+ Frank Tkalcevic).
+
+20211017
+ + amend change for pkg-config to account for "none" being returned in
+ the libdir-path result rather than "no" (report by Gabriele Balducci).
+
+20211016
+ + build-fix for pmake with libtool.
+ + improve make-tar.sh scripts, adding COPYING to tar file, and clean up
+ shellcheck warnings.
+ + add link for "reset6" manpage in test-package ncurses6-doc
+ + revise configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir, using the actual
+ search path from pkg-config or pkgconf using the output from --debug
+ (report by Pascal Pignard).
+ + freeze ABI in ".map" files.
+
+20211009
+ + implement "+m" option in tabs program.
+ + fill in some details for infoton -TD
+ + fix spelling/consistency in several descriptions -TD
+ + use vt420+lrmm in vt420 -TD
+ + modify save_tty_settings() to avoid opening /dev/tty for cases other
+ than reset/init, e.g., for clear.
+ + modify output of "toe -as" to show first description found rather
+ than the last.
+ + improve tic checks for number of parameters of smglp, smgrp, smgtp,
+ and smgbp (cf: 20020525).
+ + correct off-by-one comparison in last_char(), which did not allow
+ special case of ":" in a terminfo description field (cf: 20120407).
+ + remove check in tic that assumes that none or both parameterized and
+ non-parameterized margin-setting capabilities are present
+ (cf: 20101002).
+
+20211002
+ + use return-value from vsnprintf to reallocate as needed to allow for
+ buffers larger than the screen size (report by "_RuRo_").
+ + modify tset "-q" option to refrain from modifying terminal modes, to
+ match the documentation.
+ + add section on margins to terminfo.5, adapted from X/Open Curses.
+ + make tput/tset warning messages consistently using alias names when
+ those are used, rather than the underlying program's name.
+ + improve tput usage message for aliases such as clear, by eliminating
+ tput-specific portions.
+ + add a check in toe to ensure that a "termcap file" is text rather
+ than binary.
+ + further build-fixes for OpenBSD 6.9, whose header files differ from
+ the other BSDs.
+
20210925
+ add kbeg to xterm+keypad to accommodate termcap applications -TD
+ add smglp and smgrp to vt420+lrmm, to provide useful data for the
projects / ncurses.git / blobdiff
