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.
+20101127
+ + miscellaneous build-fixes for Ada95 and test-directories when built
+ out-of-tree.
+ + use VPATH in makefiles to simplify out-of-tree builds (Debian #34182).
+ + fix typo in rmso for tek4106 entry -Goran Weinholt
+
+20101120
+ + improve checks in test/configure for X libraries, from xterm #267
+ changes.
+ + modify test/configure to allow it to use the build-tree's libraries
+ e.g., when using that to configure the test-programs without the
+ rpath feature (request by Sven Joachim).
+ + repurpose "gnome" terminfo entries as "vte", retaining "gnome" items
+ for compatibility, but generally deprecating those since the VTE
+ library is what actually defines the behavior of "gnome", etc.,
+ since 2003 -TD
+
+20101113
+ + compiler warning fixes for test programs.
+ + various build-fixes for test-programs with pdcurses.
+ + updated configure checks for X packages in test/configure from xterm
+ #267 changes.
+ + add configure check to gnatmake, to accommodate cygwin.
+
+20101106
+ + correct list of sub-directories needed in Ada95 tree for building as
+ a separate package.
+ + modify scripts in test-directory to improve builds as a separate
+ package.
+
+20101023
+ + correct parsing of relative tab-stops in tabs program (report by
+ Philip Ganchev).
+ + adjust configure script so that "t" is not added to library suffix
+ when weak-symbols are used, allowing the pthread configuration to
+ more closely match the non-thread naming (report by Werner Fink).
+ + modify configure check for tic program, used for fallbacks, to a
+ warning if not found. This makes it simpler to use additonal
+ scripts to bootstrap the fallbacks code using tic from the build
+ tree (report by Werner Fink).
+ + fix several places in configure script using ${variable-value} form.
+ + modify configure macro CF_LDFLAGS_STATIC to accommodate some loaders
+ which do not support selectively linking against static libraries
+ (report by John P. Hartmann)
+ + fix an unescaped dash in man/tset.1 (report by Sven Joachim).
+
+20101009
+ + correct comparison used for setting 16-colors in linux-16color
+ entry (Novell #644831) -TD
+ + improve linux-16color entry, using "dim" for color-8 which makes it
+ gray rather than black like color-0 -TD
+ + drop misc/ncu-indent and misc/jpf-indent; they are provided by an
+ external package "cindent".
+
20101002
+ improve linkages in html manpages, adding references to the newer
pages, e.g., *_variables, curs_sp_funcs, curs_threads.
