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.
+20070203
+ + modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
+ from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
+ Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
+ associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
+ Ricardo Cantu).
+ + improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
+ + ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
+ + add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
+ to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
+ + drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
+ no longer relies on it.
+ + disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
+ --enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
+ + remove tack from ncurses tree.
+
+20070128
+ + fix typo in configure script that broke --with-termlib option
+ (report by Rong-En Fan).
+
+20070127
+ + improve fix for FreeBSD gnu/98975, to allow for null pointer passed
+ to tgetent() (report by Rong-en Fan).
+ + update tack/HISTORY and tack/README to tell how to build it after
+ it is removed from the ncurses tree.
+ + fix configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
+ (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
+ + review/eliminate other original-file artifacts in cursesw.cc, making
+ its license consistent with ncurses.
+ + use ncurses vw_scanw() rather than reading into a fixed buffer in
+ the c++ binding for scanw() methods.
+ + eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding.
+
+20070120
+ + add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from
+ term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency.
+ + fix test/mk-test.awk to ignore blank lines.
+ + correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav
+ Lichvar).
+
+20070113
+ + add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the
+ _first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak).
+ + add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the
+ ncurses build-tree.
+ + add --with-ticlib option, to build/install the tic-support functions
+ in a separate library (suggested by Miroslav Lichvar).
+
20070106
+ change MKunctrl.awk to reduce relocation table for unctrl.o
+ change MKkeyname.awk to reduce relocation table for keyname.o
