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.
+20210424
+ + avoid using broken system macros for snprintf which interfere with
+ _nc_SLIMIT's conditionally adding a parameter when the string-hacks
+ configure option is enabled.
+ + add a "all::" rule before the new "check" rule in test/Makefile.in
+
+20210418
+ + improve CF_LINK_FUNCS by ensuring that the source-file is closed
+ before linking to the target.
+ + add "check" rules for headers in c++, progs and test-directories.
+ + build-fix for termsort module when configured with termcap (reports
+ by Rajeev V Pillai, Rudi Heitbaum).
+
+20210417
+ + extend --disable-pkg-ldflags option to also control whether $LDFLAGS
+ from the build is provided in -config and .pc files (Debian #986764).
+ + fix some cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses and c++
+ libraries and progs directory.
+ + fix off-by-one limit for tput's processing command-line arguments
+ (patch by Hadrien Lacour).
+
+20210403
+ + fix some cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses library and
+ progs directory.
+ + improve description of BSD-style padding in curs_termcap.3x
+ + improved CF_C11_NORETURN macro, from byacc changes.
+ + fix "--enable-leak" in CF_DISABLE_LEAKS to allow turning
+ leak-checking off later in a set of options.
+ + relax modification-time comparison in CF_LINK_FUNCS to allow it to
+ accept link() function with NFS filesystems which change the mtime
+ on the link target, e.g., several BSD systems.
+ + call delay_output_sp to handle BSD-style padding when tputs_sp is
+ called, whether directly or internally, to ensure that the SCREEN
+ pointer is passed correctly (reports by Henric Jungheim, Juraj
+ Lutter).
+
+20210327
+ + build-fixes for Solaris10 /bin/sh
+ + fix some cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses test-programs,
+ form and menu libraries.
+
+20210323
+ + add configure option --enable-stdnoreturn, making the _Noreturn
+ keyword optional to ease transition (prompted by report by
+ Rajeev V Pillai).
+
+20210320
+ + improve parameter-checking in tput by forcing it to analyze any
+ extended string capability, e.g., as used in the Cs and Ms
+ capabilities of the tmux description (report by Brad Town,
+ cf: 20200531).
+ + remove an incorrect free in the fallback (non-checking) version of
+ _nc_free_and_exit (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ + correct use-ordering in some xterm-direct flavors -TD
+ + add hterm, hterm-256color (Mike Frysinger)
+ + if the build-time compiler accepts c11's _Noreturn keyword, use that
+ rather than gcc's attribute.
+ + change configure-check for gcc's noreturn attribute to assume it is
+ a prefix rather than suffix, matching c11's _Noreturn convention.
+ + add "lint" rule to c++/Makefile, e.g., with cppcheck.
+
+20210313
+ + improve configure CF_LD_SEARCHPATH macro used for ncurses*-config and
+ ".pc" files, from dialog changes.
+ + reduce dependency of math-library in test programs.
+ + minor fixes for test_tparm.c (cf: 20210306)
+ + mention "ncurses" prefix in curses_version() manpage (report by
+ Michal Bielinski).
+
+20210306
+ + improved test/test_tparm.c, by limiting the tests to capabilities
+ that might have parameters or padding, and combined with tputs test.
+ + improve discussion of padding versus tparm and tputs in
+ man/curs_terminfo.3x
+ + update portability note for FreeBSD in man/tput.1
+
+20210227
+ + modify tic/infocmp to eliminate unnecessary "\" to escape ":" in
+ terminfo format.
+ + add check in tic for duplicate "use=" clauses.
+
20210220
+ improve tic warning when oc/op do not mention SGR 39/49 for xterm
compatible XT flag.
+ re-enable "bel" in konsole-base (report by Nia Huang)
+ add linux-s entry (patch by Alexandre Montaron).
+ drop long-obsolete convert_configure.pl
- + add test/test_parm.c, for checking tparm changes.
+ + add test/test_tparm.c, for checking tparm changes.
+ improve parameter-checking for tparm, adding function _nc_tiparm() to
handle the most-used case, which accepts only numeric parameters
(report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
