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.
+20110820
+ + add a check to ensure that termcap files which might have "^?" do
+ not use the terminfo interpretation as "\177".
+ + 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
+ null, then the attribute and color values returned will be zero
+ (cf: 20110528).
+
+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
+ the primary name of the entry (cf: 20040501)
+ + double-check gn (generic) flag in terminal descriptions to
+ accommodate old/buggy termcap databases which misused that feature.
+ + minor fixes to _nc_tgetent(), ensure buffer is initialized even on
+ error-return.
+
20110807
+ improve rpath fix from 20110730 by ensuring that the new $RPATH_LIST
variable is defined in the makefiles which use it.
