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.
+20180407
+ + clarify in manual pages that vwprintw and vwscanw are obsolete,
+ not part of X/Open Curses since 2007.
+ + use "const" in some prototypes rather than NCURSES_CONST where X/Open
+ Curses was updated to do this, e.g., wscanw, newterm, the terminfo
+ interface. Also use "const" for consistency in the termcap
+ interface, which was withdrawn by X/Open Curses in Issue 5 (2007).
+ As of Issue 7, X/Open Curses still lacks "const" for certain return
+ values, e.g., keyname().
+
+20180331
+ + improve terminfo write/read by modifying the fourth item of the
+ extended header to denote the number of valid strings in the extended
+ string table (prompted by a comment in unibilium's sources).
+
20180324
+ amend Scaled256() macro in test/picsmap.c to cover the full range
0..1000 (report by Roger Pau Monne).
+ add some checks in tracemunch for undefined variables.
+ + trim some redundant capabilities from st-0.7 -TD
+ + trim unnecessary setf/setb from interix -TD
20180317
+ fix a check in infotocap which may not have detected a problem when
