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.
+20091010
+ + supply a null-terminator to buffer in _nc_viswibuf().
+ + fix a sign-extension bug in unget_wch() (report by Mike Gran).
+ + minor fixes to error-returns in default function for tputs, as well
+ as in lib_screen.c
+
+20091003
+ + add WACS_xxx definitions to wide-character configuration for thick-
+ and double-lines (discussion with Slava Zanko).
+ + remove unnecessary kcan assignment to ^C from putty (Sven Joachim)
+ + add ccc and initc capabilities to xterm-16color -TD
+ > patch by Benjamin C W Sittler:
+ + add linux-16color
+ + correct initc capability of linux-c-nc end-of-range
+ + similar change for dg+ccc and dgunix+ccc
+
+20090927
+ + move leak-checking for comp_captab.c into _nc_leaks_tinfo() since
+ that module since 20090711 is in libtinfo.
+ + add configure option --enable-term-driver, to allow compiling with
+ terminal-driver. That is used in mingw port, and (being somewhat
+ more complicated) is an experimental alternative to the conventional
+ termlib internals. Currently, it requires the sp-funcs feature to
+ be enabled.
+ + completed integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer in ncurses
+ library (some work remains for forms library).
+
+20090919
+ + document return code from define_key (report by Mike Gran).
+ + make some symbolic links in the terminfo directory-tree shorter
+ (patch by Daniel Jacobowitz, forwarded by Sven Joachim).).
+ + fix some groff warnings in terminfo.5, etc., from recent Debian
+ changes.
+ + change ncv and op capabilities in sun-color terminfo entry to match
+ Sun's entry for this (report by Laszlo Peter).
+ + improve interix smso terminfo capability by using reverse rather than
+ bold (report by Kristof Zelechovski).
+
+20090912
+ + add some test programs (and make these use the same special keys
+ by sharing linedata.h functions):
+ test/test_addstr.c
+ test/test_addwstr.c
+ test/test_addchstr.c
+ test/test_add_wchstr.c
+ + correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when
+ inserting wide characters, since the wins_wch() function that it used
+ did not update the cursor position (report by Ciprian Craciun).
+
+20090906
+ + fix typo s/is_timeout/is_notimeout/ which made "man is_notimeout" not
+ work.
+ + add null-pointer checks to other opaque-functions.
+ + add is_pad() and is_subwin() functions for opaque access to WINDOW
+ (discussion with Mark Dickinson).
+ + correct merge to lib_newterm.c, which broke when sp-funcs was
+ enabled.
+
+20090905
+ + build-fix for building outside source-tree (report by Sven Joachim).
+ + fix Debian lintian warning for man/tabs.1 by making section number
+ agree with file-suffix (report by Sven Joachim).
+ + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090829
+ + workaround for bug in g++ 4.1-4.4 warnings for wattrset() macro on
+ amd64 (Debian #542031).
+ + fix typo in curs_mouse.3x (Debian #429198).
+
20090822
+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
