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.
+20070303
+ + regenerated html documentation.
+ + add NCURSES_OPAQUE symbol to curses.h, will use to make structs
+ opaque in selected configurations.
+ + move the chunk in lib_acs.c which resets acs capabilities when
+ running on a terminal whose locale interferes with those into
+ _nc_setupscreen(), so the libtinfo/libtinfow files can be made
+ identical (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ + do not use configure variable SHLIB_LIBS for building libraries
+ outside the ncurses directory, since that symbol is customized
+ only for that directory, and using it introduces an unneeded
+ dependency on libdl (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ + modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or
+ installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in
+ case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh (report by Jeff
+ Chua).
+ + revised section "Using NCURSES under XTERM" in ncurses-intro.html
+ (prompted by newsgroup comment by Nick Guenther).
+
20070224
+ change internal return codes of _nc_wgetch() to check for cases
where KEY_CODE_YES should be returned, e.g., if a KEY_RESIZE was
+ remove "-ldl" from some library lists to reduce dependencies in
programs (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ correct description of --enable-signed-char in configure --help
- (report by Michail Vidiassov).
+ (report by Michail Vidiassov).
+ add pattern for GNU/kFreeBSD configuration to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE,

fixes.
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.
+ 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).
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.
+ + remove tack from ncurses tree.
20070128
+ fix typo in configure script that broke --with-termlib option
+ 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.
+ the c++ binding for scanw() methods (prompted by report by Nuno Dias).
+ eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding.
