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.
+20210220
+ + improve tic warning when oc/op do not mention SGR 39/49 for xterm
+ compatible XT flag.
+ + revert change to lib_addch.c in waddch_literal() from 20210130, since
+ the followup fix in PutCharLR() actually corrects the problem while
+ this change causes too-early filling/wrapping (report by Johannes
+ Altmanninger).
+ + add/use vt220+pcedit and vt220+vtedit -TD
+ + add scrt/securecrt and absolute -TD
+ + add nel to xterm-new, though supported since X11R5 -TD
+ + add/use xterm+nofkeys -TD
+ + move use of ecma+italics from xterm-basic to xterm+nofkeys -TD
+
+20210213
+ + add test/back_ground.c, to exercise the wide-character background
+ functions.
+ + add a check in _nc_build_wch() in case the background character is a
+ wide-character, rather than a new part of a multibyte character.
+ + improve tracemunch's coverage of form/menu/panel libraries.
+ + improve tracemunch's checking/reporting the type for the first
+ parameter, e.g., "WINDOW*" rather than "#1".
+
+20210206
+ + provide for wide-characters as background character in wbkgrnd
+ (report/testcase by Anton Vidovic)
+ + add name for Fedora's pcre2 to configure check for "--with-pcre2"
+ option, from xterm #363 -TD
+ + modify adjustment in PutCharLR to restore the cursor position before
+ writing to the lower-right corner, rather than decrementing the
+ cursor column, in case it was a double-width character (cf: 20210130).
+
+20210130
+ + correct an off-by-one in comparison in waddch_literal() which caused
+ scrolling when a double-cell character would not fit at the lower
+ right corner of the screen (report by Benno Schulenberg).
+ + split-out att610+cvis, vt220+cvis, vt220+cvis8 -TD
+ + add vt220-base, for terminal emulators which generally have not
+ supported att610's blinking cursor control -TD
+ + use vt220+cvis in vt220, etc -TD
+ + use att610+cvis, xterm+tmux and ansi+enq in kitty -TD
+ + use vt220+cvis in st, terminology, termite since they ignore
+ blinking-cursor detail in att610+cvis -TD
+
+20210123
+ + modify package/config scripts to provide an explicit -L option for
+ cases when the loader search path has other directories preceding
+ the one in which ncurses is installed (report by Yuri Victorovich).
+ + minor build-fixes in configure script and makefiles to work around
+ quirks of pmake.
+
20210116
+ add comment for linux2.6 regarding CONFIG_CONSOLE_TRANSLATIONS
(report by Patrick McDermott) -TD
