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.
+20160402
+ + regenerate HTML manpages.
+ + improve manual pages for utilities with respect to POSIX versus
+ X/Open Curses.
+
+20160326
+ + regenerate HTML manpages.
+ + improve test/demo_menus.c, allowing mouse-click on the menu-headers
+ to switch the active menu. This requires a new extension option
+ O_MOUSE_MENU to tell the menu driver to put mouse events which do not
+ apply to the active menu back into the queue so that the application
+ can handle the event.
+
+20160319
+ + improve description of tgoto parameters (report by Steffen Nurpmeso).
+ + amend workaround for Solaris line-drawing to restore a special case
+ that maps Unicode line-drawing characters into the acsc string for
+ non-Unicode locales (Debian #816888).
+
+20160312
+ + modified test/filter.c to illustrate an alternative to getnstr, that
+ polls for input while updating a clock on the right margin as well
+ as responding to window size-changes.
+
+20160305
+ + omit a redefinition of "inline" when traces are enabled, since this
+ does not work with gcc 5.3.x MinGW cross-compiling (cf: 20150912).
+
+20160220
+ + modify test/configure script to check for pthread dependency of
+ ncursest or ncursestw library when building ncurses examples, e.g.,
+ in case weak symbols are used.
+ + modify configure macro for shared-library rules to use -Wl,-rpath
+ rather than -rpath to work around a bug in scons (FreeBSD #178732,
+ cf: 20061021).
+ + double-width multibyte characters were not counted properly in
+ winsnstr and wins_nwstr (report/example by Eric Pruitt).
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
+20160213
+ + amend fix for _nc_ripoffline from 20091031 to make test/ditto.c work
+ in threaded configuration.
+ + move _nc_tracebits, _tracedump and _tracemouse to curses.priv.h,
+ since they are not part of the suggested ABI6.
+
+20160206
+ + define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN for MinGW port, making builds faster.
+ + modify test/ditto.c to allow $XTERM_PROG environment variable to
+ override "xterm" as the name of the program to run in the threaded
+ configuration.
+
+20160130
+ + improve formatting of man/curs_refresh.3x and man/tset.1 manpages
+ + regenerate HTML manpages using newer man2html to eliminate some
+ unwanted blank lines.
+
+20160123
+ + ifdef'd header-file definition of mouse_trafo() with NCURSES_NOMACROS
+ (report by Corey Minyard).
+ + fix some strict compiler-warnings in traces.
+
+20160116
+ + tidy up comments about hardcoded 256color palette (report by
+ Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
+ + add putty-noapp entry, and amend putty entry to use application mode
+ for better consistency with xterm (report by Leonardo Brondani
+ Schenkel) -TD
+ + modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to trace wide-characters
+ as a whole rather than their multibyte equivalents.
+ + minor fix in wadd_wchnstr() to ensure that each cell has nonzero
+ width.
+ + move PUTC_INIT calls next to wcrtomb calls, to avoid carry-over of
+ error status when processing Unicode values which are not mapped.
+
+20160102
+ + modify ncurses c/C color test-screens to take advantage of wide
+ screens, reducing the number of lines used for 88- and 256-colors.
+ + minor refinement to check versus ncv to ignore two parameters of
+ SGR 38 and 48 when those come from color-capabilities.
+
20151226
+ add check in tic for use of bold, etc., video attributes in the
color capabilities, accounting whether the feature is listed in ncv.
