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.
+20180922
+ + ignore interrupted system-call in test/ncurses's command-line, e.g.,
+ if the terminal were resized.
+ + add shift/control/alt logic for decoding xterm's 1006 mode (Redhat
+ #1610681, cf: 20141011).
+ + modify rpm test-packages to not use --disable-relink with Redhat,
+ since Fedora 28's tools do not work with that feature.
+
+20180908
+ + document --with-pcre2 configure option in INSTALL.
+ + improve workaround for special case in PutAttrChar() where a cell is
+ marked as alternate-character set, to handle a case where the
+ character in the cell does not correspond to any of the ASCII
+ fallbacks (report by Leon Winter, cf: 20180505).
+ + amend change to form library which attempted to avoid unnecessary
+ update of cursor position in non-public fields, to simply disable
+ output in this case (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20180414).
+ + improve check for LINE_MAX runtime limit, to accommodate broken
+ implementations of sysconf().
+
+20180901
+ + improve manual page for wgetnstr, giving background for the length
+ parameter.
+ + define a limit for wgetnstr, wgetn_wstr when length is negative or
+ "too large".
+ + update configure script to autoconf 2.52.20180819 (Debian #887390).
+
20180825
+ add a section to tput manual page clarifying how it determines the
terminal size (prompted by discussion with Grant Jenks).
