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.
+20100529
+ + regenerated html documentation.
+ + modify test/configure to support pkg-config for checking X libraries
+ used by PDCurses.
+ + add/use configure macro CF_ADD_LIB to force consistency of
+ assignments to $LIBS, etc.
+ + fix configure script for combining --with-pthread
+ and --enable-weak-symbols options.
+
+20100522
+ + correct cross-compiling configure check for CF_MKSTEMP macro, by
+ adding a check cache variable set by AC_CHECK_FUNC (report by
+ Pierre Labastie).
+ + simplify include-dependencies of make_hash and make_keys, to reduce
+ the need for setting BUILD_CPPFLAGS in cross-compiling when the
+ build- and target-machines differ.
+ + repair broken-linker configuration by restoring a definition of SP
+ variable to curses.priv.h, and adjusting for cases where sp-funcs
+ are used.
+ + improve configure macro CF_AR_FLAGS, allowing ARFLAGS environment
+ variable to override (prompted by report by Pablo Cazallas).
+
+20100515
+ + add configure option --enable-pthreads-eintr to control whether the
+ new EINTR feature is enabled.
+ + modify logic in pthread configuration to allow EINTR to interrupt
+ a read operation in wgetch() (Novell #540571, patch by Werner Fink).
+ + drop mkdirs.sh, use "mkdir -p".
+ + add configure option --disable-libtool-version, to use the
+ "-version-number" feature which was added in libtool 1.5 (report by
+ Peter Haering). The default value for the option uses the newer
+ feature, which makes libraries generated using libtool compatible
+ with the standard builds of ncurses.
+ + updated test/configure to match configure script macros.
+ + fixes for configure script from lynx changes:
+ + improve CF_FIND_LINKAGE logic for the case where a function is
+ found in predefined libraries.
+ + revert part of change to CF_HEADER (cf: 20100424)
+
20100501
+ correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for begy/begx values
(patch by David Benjamin).
overlooked til now.
20081011
- + update html documentation.
+ + regenerated html documentation.
+ add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
+ correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
