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.
+20140315
+ + modify _nc_New_TopRow_and_CurrentItem() to ensure that the menu's
+ top-row is adjusted as needed to ensure that the current item is
+ on the screen (patch by Johann Klammer).
+ + add wgetdelay() to retrieve _delay member of WINDOW if it happens to
+ be opaque, e.g., in the pthread configuration (prompted by patch by
+ Soren Brinkmann).
+
+20140308
+ + modify ifdef in read_entry.c to handle the case where
+ NCURSES_USE_DATABASE is not defined (patch by Xin Li).
+ + add cast in form_driver_w() to fix ARM build (patch by Xin Li).
+ + add logic to win_driver.c to save/restore screen contents when not
+ allocating a console-buffer (cf: 20140215).
+
+20140301
+ + clarify error-returns from newwin (report by Ruslan Nabioullin).
+
+20140222
+ + fix some compiler warnings in win_driver.c
+ + updated notes for wsvt25 based on tack and vttest -TD
+ + add teken entry to show actual properties of FreeBSD's "xterm"
+ console -TD
+
+20140215
+ + in-progress changes to win_driver.c to implement output without
+ allocating a console-buffer. This uses a pre-existing environment
+ variable NCGDB used by Juergen Pfeifer for debugging (prompted by
+ discussion with Erwin Waterlander regarding Console2, which hangs
+ when reading in an allocated console-buffer).
+ + add -t option to gdc.c, and modify to accept "S" to step through the
+ scrolling-stages.
+ + regenerate NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the broken
+ html emitted by docbook.
+
+20140209
+ + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to omit followup check to determine if
+ _XOPEN_SOURCE can/should be defined. g++ 4.7.2 built on Solaris 10
+ has some header breakage due to its own predefinition of this symbol
+ (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15796).
+
+20140201
+ + add/use symbol NCURSES_PAIRS_T like NCURSES_COLOR_T, to illustrate
+ which "short" types are for color pairs and which are color values.
+ + fix build for s390x, by correcting field bit offsets in generated
+ representation clauses when int=32 long=64 and endian=big, or at
+ least on s390x (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ + minor cleanup change to test/form_driver_w.c (patch by Gaute Hope).
+
+20140125
+ + remove unnecessary ifdef's in Ada95/gen/gen.c, which reportedly do
+ not work as is with gcc 4.8 due to fixes using chtype cast made for
+ new compiler warnings by gcc 4.8 in 20130824 (Debian #735753, patch
+ by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+
+20140118
+ + apply includesubdir variable which was introduced in 20130805 to
+ gen-pkgconfig.in (Debian #735782).
+
+20131221
+ + further improved man2html, used this to fix broken links in html
+ manpages. See
+ ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/man2html
+
+20131214
+ + modify configure-script/ifdef's to allow OLD_TTY feature to be
+ suppressed if the type of ospeed is configured using the option
+ --with-ospeed to not be a short. By default, it is a short for
+ termcap-compatibility (adapted from suggestion by Christian
+ Weisgerber).
+ + correct a typo in _nc_baudrate() (patch by Christian Weisgerber,
+ cf: 20061230).
+ + fix a few -Wlogical-op warnings.
+ + updated llib-l* files.
+
+20131207
+ + add form_driver_w() entrypoint to wide-character forms library, as
+ well as test program form_driver_w (adapted from patch by Gaute
+ Hope).
+
+20131123
+ + minor fix for CF_GCC_WARNINGS to special-case options which are not
+ recognized by clang.
+
+20131116
+ + add special case to configure script to move _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
+ definition from CPPFLAGS to CFLAGS if it happens to be needed for
+ Solaris, because g++ errors with that definition (report by
+ Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15268).
+ + correct logic in infocmp's -i option which was intended to ignore
+ strings which correspond to function-keys as candidates for piecing
+ together initialization- or reset-strings. The problem dates to
+ 1.9.7a, but was overlooked until changes in -Wlogical-op warnings for
+ gcc 4.8 (report by David Binderman).
+ + updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, adding
+ checks for -Wextra, -Wignored-qualifiers and -Wlogical-op
+ + updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, moving
+ checks for -Wextra and -Wdeclaration-after-statement into the macro,
+ and adding checks for -Wignored-qualifiers, -Wlogical-op and
+ -Wvarargs
+ + updated CF_CURSES_UNCTRL_H and CF_SHARED_OPTS macros from ongoing
+ work on cdk.
+ + update config.sub from
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git

+ (Debian #727119).
+ + simplify pfkey expression in ansi.sys -TD
+
+20131027
+ + correct/simplify ifdef's for cur_term versus broken-linker and
+ reentrant options (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, cf: 20090530).
+ + modify release/version combinations in test build-scripts to make
+ them more consistent with other packages.
+
+20131019
+ + add nc_mingw.h to installed headers for MinGW port; needed for
+ compiling ncurses-examples.
+ + add rpm-script for testing cross-compile of ncurses-examples.
+
+20131014
+ + fix new typo in CF_ADA_INCLUDE_DIRS macro (report by Roumen Petrov).
+
+20131012
+ + fix a few compiler warnings in progs and test.
+ + minor fix to package/debian-mingw/rules, do not strip dll's.

+ addressed.
+ + build-fix and some compiler warning fixes for ncurses-examples with
+ OpenBSD 5.3
+ + fix a possible null-pointer reference in a trace message from newterm.

+ + minor improvements for test-programs from reviewing Solaris port.
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
+20130831
+ + modify test/ncurses.c b/B tests to display lines only for the
+ attributes which a given terminal supports, to make room for an
+ italics test.
+ + completed ncv table in terminfo.tail; it did not list the wide
+ character codes listed in X/Open Curses issue 7.

+
+20130816
+ + add checks in tic to warn about terminals which lack cursor
+ addressing, capabilities or having those, are marked as hard_copy or
+ generic_type.
+ + use --without-progs in mingw-ncurses rpm.
+ + split out _nc_init_termtype() from alloc_entry.c to use in MinGW

+
+20130805
+ + minor fixes to the --disable-overwrite logic, to ensure that the
+ configured $(includedir) is not cancelled by the mingwxx-filesystem
+ rpm macros.
+ + add --disable-db-install configure option, to simplify building
+ cross-compile support packages.
+ + add mingw-ncurses.spec file, for testing cross-compiles.
+
+20130727
+ + improve configure macros from ongoing work on cdk, dialog, xterm:
+ + CF_ADD_LIB_AFTER - fix a problem with -Wl options
+ + CF_RPATH_HACK - add missing result-message
+ + CF_SHARED_OPTS - modify to use $rel_builddir in cygwin and mingw
+ dll symbols (which can be overridden) rather than explicit "../".
+ + CF_SHARED_OPTS - modify NetBSD and DragonFly symbols to use ${CC}
+ rather than ${LD} to improve rpath support.

+ are created by the macro, to simplify clean-rules.
+ + CF_X_ATHENA - trim extra libraries to work with -Wl,--as-needed
+ + fix a regression in hashed-database support for NetBSD, which uses

+ + minor compiler-warning fixes
+
+20130706
+ + add fallback defs for <inttypes.h> and <stdint.h> (cf: 20120225).

+ not printing the full pathname of the program.
+ + add -V option for consistency with other utilities.
+ + fix off-by-one in columns for tabs program when processing an option
+ such as "-5" (patch by Nick Andrik).

+ expansion to free-format input/out demo.
+ + modified test/demo_forms.c to load data from file.
+ + added note to clarify Terminal.app's non-emulation of the various

+ + build-fix for a case where --enable-broken_linker and
+ --enable-reentrant options are combined (report by George R Goffe).
+
+20130525
+ + modify mvcur() to distinguish between internal use by the ncurses
+ library, and external callers, preventing it from reading the content
+ of the screen which is only nonblank when curses calls have updated
+ it. This makes test/dots_mvcur.c avoid painting colored cells in
+ the left margin of the display.
+ + minor fix to test/dots_mvcur.c
+ + move configured symbols USE_DATABASE and USE_TERMCAP to term.h as
+ NCURSES_USE_DATABASE and NCURSES_USE_TERMCAP to allow consistent
+ use of these symbols in term_entry.h

+
+20130406
+ + improve parameter checking in copywin().
+ + modify configure script to work around OS X's "libtool" program, to
+ choose glibtool instead. At the same time, chance the autoconf macro
+ to look for a "tool" rather than a "prog", to help with potential use
+ in cross-compiling.
+ + separate the rpath usage for c++ library from demo program
+ (Redhat #911540)
+ + update/correct header-dependencies in c++ makefile (report by Werner
+ Fink).
+ + add --with-cxx-shared to dpkg-script, as done for rpm-script.
+
+20130324
+ + build-fix for libtool configuration (reports by Daniel Silva Ferreira
+ and Roumen Petrov).
+
+20130323
+ + build-fix for OS X, to handle changes for --with-cxx-shared feature

+ + amend change to toe.c for reading from /dev/zero, to ensure that
+ there is a buffer for the temporary filename (cf: 20120324).
+ + regenerated html manpages.

+ + CF_INTEL_COMPILER, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE from luit 2.0-20130217
+ + add configure option --with-cxx-shared to permit building
+ libncurses++ as a shared library when using g++, e.g., the same
+ limitations as libtool but better integrated with the usual build
+ configuration (Redhat #911540).

+ + add some traces to the Windows console driver.
+ + initialize a temporary array in _nc_mbtowc, needed for some cases
+ of raw input in MinGW port.
+
+20130218
+ + correct ifdef on change to lib_twait.c (report by Werner Fink).
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20130216

+ pdcurses.
+ + modify test/knight.c to work with mouse for pdcurses as it does for
+ ncurses.
+ + modify internal recursion in wgetch() which handles cooked mode to
+ check if the call to wgetnstr() returned an error. This can happen
+ when both nocbreak() and nodelay() are set, for instance (report by

+ + fixes for issues found by Coverity:
+ + add a check for valid position in ClearToEOS()
+ + fix in lib_twait.c when --enable-wgetch-events is used, pointer
+ use after free.
+ + improve a limit-check in make_hash.c
+ + fix a memory leak in hashed_db.c
+
+20130209

+ of curses-related libraries, to help with linking with pdcurses in
+ MinGW environment.
+ + if the --with-terminfo-dirs configure option is not used, there is
+ no corresponding compiled-in value for that. Fill in "no default
+ value" for that part of the manpage substitution.
+
+20130202

+ needed to make test/dots_mvcur work.
+ + reduce calls to SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer in win_driver.c, to
+ help reduce flicker.

+ matching capability names.
+ + modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate legacy
+ applications as well as to improve compatbility with BSD 4.2
+ termcap implementations (Debian #698299) (cf: 980725).
+
+20130112
+ + correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts.
+ + drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they
+ are unused in the current driver model.
+ + modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses
+ library.
+ + modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage.
+ + amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level
+ putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering.
+ The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674).
+
+20130105
+ + add "-s" option to test/view.c to allow it to start in single-step
+ mode, reducing size of trace files when it is used for debugging
+ MinGW changes.
+ + revert part of 20121222 change to tinfo_driver.c
+ + add experimental logic in win_driver.c to improve optimization of
+ screen updates. This does not yet work with double-width characters,
+ so it is ifdef'd out for the moment (prompted by report by Erwin
+ Waterlander regarding screen flicker).
+
+20121229
+ + fix coverity warnings regarding copying into fixed-size buffers.
+ + add throw-declarations in the c++ binding per Coverity warning.
+ + minor changes to new-items for consistent reference to bug-report
+ numbers.
+
+20121222

+ available in all Mac OS X configurations (report by Andras Salamon,
+ cf: 20011208).
+ + improve 20021221 workaround for broken acs, handling a case where
+ that ACS_xxx character is not in the acsc string but there is a known
+ wide-character which can be used.
+
+20121215
+ + fix several warnings from clang 3.1 --analyze, includes correcting
+ a null-pointer check in _nc_mvcur_resume.
+ + correct display of double-width characters with MinGW port (report
+ by Erwin Waterlander).
+ + replace MinGW's wcrtomb(), fixing a problem with _nc_viscbuf
+ > fixes based on Coverity report:
+ + correct coloring in test/bs.c
+ + correct check for 8-bit value in _nc_insert_ch().
+ + remove dead code in progs/tset.c, test/linedata.h
+ + add null-pointer checks in lib_tracemse.c, panel.priv.h, and some
+ test-programs.
+
+20121208
+ + modify test/knight.c to show the number of choices possible for
+ each position in automove option, e.g., to allow user to follow
+ Warnsdorff's rule to solve the puzzle.
+ + modify test/hanoi.c to show the minimum number of moves possible for
+ the given number of tiles (prompted by patch by Lucas Gioia).
+ > fixes based on Coverity report:

+ + initialize wbkgrndset() temporary variable when extended-colors are
+ used.
+
+20121201
+ + also replace MinGW's wctomb(), fixing a problem with setcchar().
+ + modify test/view.c to load UTF-8 when built with MinGW by using
+ regular win32 API because the MinGW functions mblen() and mbtowc()
+ do not work.
+
+20121124
+ + correct order of color initialization versus display in some of the
+ test-programs, e.g., test_addstr.c
+ > fixes based on Coverity report:
+ + delete windows on exit from some of the test-programs.
+
+20121117
+ > fixes based on Coverity report:
+ + add missing braces around FreeAndNull in two places.
