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.
+20090912
+ + add some test programs (and make these use the same special keys
+ by sharing linedata.h functions):
+ test/test_addstr.c
+ test/test_addwstr.c
+ test/test_addchstr.c
+ test/test_add_wchstr.c
+ + correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when
+ inserting wide characters, since the wins_wch() function that it used
+ did not update the cursor position (report by Ciprian Craciun).
+
+20090906
+ + fix typo s/is_timeout/is_notimeout/ which made "man is_notimeout" not
+ work.
+ + add null-pointer checks to other opaque-functions.
+ + add is_pad() and is_subwin() functions for opaque access to WINDOW
+ (discussion with Mark Dickinson).
+ + correct merge to lib_newterm.c, which broke when sp-funcs was
+ enabled.
+
+20090905
+ + build-fix for building outside source-tree (report by Sven Joachim).
+ + fix Debian lintian warning for man/tabs.1 by making section number
+ agree with file-suffix (report by Sven Joachim).
+ + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090829
+ + workaround for bug in g++ 4.1-4.4 warnings for wattrset() macro on
+ amd64 (Debian #542031).
+ + fix typo in curs_mouse.3x (Debian #429198).
+
+20090822
+ + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090815
+ + correct use of terminfo capabilities for initializing soft-keys,
+ broken in 20090509 merging.
+ + modify wgetch() to ensure it checks SIGWINCH when it gets an error
+ in non-blocking mode (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
+ + use PATH_SEPARATOR symbol when substituting into run_tic.sh, to
+ help with builds on non-Unix platforms such as OS/2 EMX.
+ + modify scripting for misc/run_tic.sh to test configure script's
+ $cross_compiling variable directly rather than comparing host/build
+ compiler names (prompted by comment in GenToo #249363).
+ + fix configure script option --with-database, which was coded as an
+ enable-type switch.
+ + build-fixes for --srcdir (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
+
+20090808
+ + separate _nc_find_entry() and _nc_find_type_entry() from
+ implementation details of hash function.
+
+20090803
+ + add tabs.1 to man/man_db.renames
+ + modify lib_addch.c to compensate for removal of wide-character test
+ from unctrl() in 20090704 (Debian #539735).
+
+20090801
+ + improve discussion in INSTALL for use of system's tic/infocmp for
+ cross-compiling and building fallbacks.
+ + modify test/demo_termcap.c to correspond better to options in
+ test/demo_terminfo.c
+ + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+ + fix logic for 'V' in test/ncurses.c tests f/F.
+
+20090728
+ + correct logic in tigetnum(), which caused tput program to treat all
+ string capabilities as numeric (report by Rajeev V Pillai,
+ cf: 20090711).
+
20090725
+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
