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.
+20140629
+ + correct check in win_driver.c for saving screen contents, e.g., when
+ NCURSES_CONSOLE2 is set (cf: 20140503).
+ + reorganize b/B menu items in ncurses.c, putting the test-strings into
+ subwindows. This is needed for a planned change to use Unicode
+ fullwidth characters in the test-screens.
+ + correct update to form status for _NEWTOP, broken by fixes for
+ compiler warnings (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20120616).
+
+20140621
+ + change shared-library suffix for AIX 5 and 6 to ".so", avoiding
+ conflict with the static library (report by Ben Lentz).
+ + document RPATH_LIST in INSTALLATION file, as part of workarounds for
+ upgrading an ncurses library using the "--with-shared" option.
+ + modify test/ncurses.c c/C tests to cycle through subsets of the
+ total number of colors, to better illustrate 8/16/88/256-colors by
+ providing directly comparable screens.
+ + add test/dots_curses.c, for comparison with the low-level examples.
+
+20140614
+ + fix dereference before null check found by Coverity in tic.c
+ (cf: 20140524).
+ + fix sign-extension bug in read_entry.c which prevented "toe" from
+ reading empty "screen+italics" entry.
+ + modify sgr for screen.xterm-new to support dim capability -TD
+ + add dim capability to nsterm+7 -TD
+ + cancel dim capability for iterm -TD
+ + add dim, invis capabilities to vte-2012 -TD
+ + add sitm/ritm to konsole-base and mlterm3 -TD
+
+20140609
+ > fix regression in screen terminfo entries (reports by Christian
+ Ebert, Gabriele Balducci) -TD
+ + revert the change to screen; see notes for why this did not work -TD
+ + cancel sitm/ritm for entries which extend "screen", to work around
+ screen's hardcoded behavior for SGR 3 -TD
+
+20140607
+ + separate masking for sgr in vidputs from sitm/ritm, which do not
+ overlap with sgr functionality.
+ + remove unneeded -i option from adacurses-config; put -a in the -I
+ option for consistency (patch by Pascal Pignard).
+ + update xterm-new to patch #305 -TD
+ + change format of test-scripts for Debian Ada95 and ncurses-examples
+ packages to quilted to work around Debian #700177 (cf: 20130907).
+ + build fix for form_driver_w.c as part of ncurses-examples package for
+ older ncurses than 20131207.
+ + add Hello World example to adacurses-config manpage.
+ + remove unused --enable-pc-files option from Ada95/configure.
+ + add --disable-gnat-projects option for testing.
+ + revert changes to Ada95 project-files configuration (cf: 20140524).
