+20170506
+ + modify tic/infocmp display of numeric values to use hexadecimal when
+ they are "close" to a power of two, making the result more readable.
+ + improve discussion of portability in curs_mouse.3x
+ + change line-length for generated html/manpages to 78 columns from 65.
+ + improve discussion of line-drawing characters in curs_add_wch.3x
+ (prompted by discussion with Lorinczy Zsigmond).
+ + cleanup formatting of hackguide.html and ncurses-intro.html
+ + add examples for WACS_D_PLUS and WACS_T_PLUS to test/ncurses.c
+
+20170429
+ + corrected a case where $with_gpm was set to "maybe" after CF_WITH_GPM,
+ overlooked in 20160528 fixes (report by Alexandre Bury).
+ + improve a couple of test-program's help-messages.
+ + corrected loop in rain.c from 20170415 changes.
+ + modify winnstr and winchnstr to return error if the output pointer is
+ null, as well as adding a null pointer check of the window pointer
+ for better compatibility with other implementations.
+ + improve discussion of NetBSD curses in scr_dump.5
+ + modify LIMIT_TYPED macro in new_pair.h to avoid changing sign of the
+ value to be limited (reports by Darby Payne, Rob Boudreau).
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
+20170422
+ + build-fix for termcap-configuration (report by Chi-Hsuan Yen).
+ + improve terminfo manual page discussion of control- and graphics-
+ characters.
+ + remove tic warning about "^?" in string capabilities, which was
+ marked as an extension (cf: 20000610, 20110820); however all Unix
+ implementations support this and X/Open Curses does not address it.
+ On the other hand, termcap never did support this feature.
+ + correct missing comma-separator between string capabilities in
+ icl6402 and m2-nam -TD
+ + restore rmir/smir in ansi+idc to better match original ansiterm+idc,
+ add alias ansiterm (report by Robert King).
+ + amend an old check for ambiguous use of "ma" in terminfo versus
+ a termcap use, if the capability is cancelled to treat it as number.
+ + correct a case in _nc_captoinfo() which read "%%" and emitted "%".
+ + modify sscanf calls in _nc_infotocap() for patterns "%{number}%+%c"
+ and "%'char'%+%c" to check that the final character is really 'c',
+ avoiding a case in icl6404 which cannot be converted to termcap.
+ + in _nc_infotocap(), add a check to ensure that terminfo "^?" is not
+ written to termcap, because the BSDs did not implement that.
+ + in _nc_tic_expand() and _nc_infotocap(), improve string-length check
+ when deciding whether to use "^X" or "\xxx" format for control
+ characters, to make the output of tic/infocmp more predictable.
+ + limit termcap "%d" width to 2 digits on input, and use "%2" in
+ preference to "%02" on output.
+ + correct terminfo/termcap conversion of "%02" and "%03" into "%2" and
+ "%3"; the result repeated the last character.
+ + add man/scr_dump.5 to document screen-dump format.
+
+20170415
+ + modify several test programs to use new popup_msgs, adapted from
+ help-screen used in test/edit_field.c
+ + drop two symbols obsoleted in 2004: _nc_check_termtype, and
+ _nc_resolve_uses
+ + fix some old copyright dates (cf: 20031025).
+ + build-fixes for test/savescreen.c to work with AIX and HPUX.
+ + minor fix to configure script, adding a backslash/continuation.
+ + extend TERMINAL structure for ABI 6 to store numbers internally as
+ integers rather than short, by adding new data for this purpose.
+ + more fixes for minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
+
+20170408
+ + change logic in wins_nwstr() to avoid addressing data past the output
+ of mbstowcs().
+ + correct a call to setcchar() in Data_Entry_w() from 20131207 changes.
+ + fix minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
+ + further improve ifdef in term_entry.h for internal definitions not
+ used by tack.
+
+20170401
+ + minor fixes for vt100+4bsd, e.g., delay in sgr for consistency -TD
+ + add smso for env230, to match sgr -TD
+ + remove p7/protect from sgr in fbterm -TD
+ + drop setf/setb from fbterm; setaf/setab are enough -TD
+ + make xterm-pcolor sgr consistent with other capabilities -TD
+ + add rmxx/smxx ECMA-48 strikeout extension to tmux and xterm-basic
+ (discussion with Nicholas Marriott)
+ + add test-programs sp_tinfo and extended_color
+ + modify no-leaks code for lib_cur_term.c to account for the tgetent()
+ cache.
+ + modify setupterm() to save original tty-modes so that erasechar()
+ works as expected. Also modify _nc_setupscreen() to avoid redundant
+ calls to get original tty-modes.
+ + modify set_curterm() to update ttytype[] data used by longname().
+ + modify wattr_set() and wattr_get() to return ERR if win-parameter is
+ null, as documented.
+ + improve cast used for null-pointer checks in header macros, to
+ reduce compiler warnings.
+ + modify several functions, using the reserved "opts" parameter to pass
+ color- and pair-values larger than 16-bits:
+ + getcchar(), setcchar(), slk_attr_set(), vid_puts(), wattr_get(),
+ wattr_set(), wchgat(), wcolor_set().
+ + Other functions call these with the corresponding altered behavior,
+ including chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat(), slk_color_on(),
+ slk_color_off(), vid_attr().
+ + add new functions for manipulating color- and pair-values larger
+ than 16-bits. These are extended_color_content(),
+ extended_pair_content(), extended_slk_color(), init_extended_color(),
+ init_extended_pair(), and the corresponding sp-funcs.
+
+20170325
+ + fix a memory leak in the window-list when creating multiple screens
+ (reports by Andres Martinelli, Debian #783486).
+ + reviewed calls from link_test.c, added a few more null-pointer
+ checks.
+ + add a null-pointer check in ungetmouse, in case mousemask was not
+ called (report by "Kau").
+ + updated curs_sp_funcs.3x for new functions.
+
+20170318
+ + change TERMINAL structure in term.h to make it opaque. Some
+ applications misuse its members, e.g., directly modifying it
+ rather than using def_prog_mode().
+ + modify utility headers such as tic.h to make it clearer which are
+ externals that are used by tack.
+ + improve curs_slk.3x in particular its discussion of portability.
+ + fix cut/paste in legacy_encoding.3x
+ + add prototype for find_pair() to new_pair.3x (report by Branden
+ Robinson).
+ + fix a couple of broken links in generated man-html documentation.
+ + regenerate man-html documentation.
+
+20170311
+ + modify vt100 rs2 string to reset vt52 mode and scrolling regions
+ (report/analysis by Robert King) -TD
+ + add vt100+4bsd building block, use that for older terminals rather
+ than "vt100" which is now mostly used as a building block for
+ terminal emulators -TD
+ + correct a few spelling errors in terminfo.src comments -TD
+ + add fbterm -TD
+ + fix a typo in ncurses.c test_attr legend (patch by Petr Vanek).

+ 8-bit limit on colors
+ + add ncurses/new_pair.h
+ + add ncurses/base/new_pair.c with alloc_pair(), find_pair() and
+ free_pair() functions
+ + add test/demo_new_pair.c
+
+20170304
+ + improve terminfo manual description of terminfo syntax.
+ + clarify the use of wint_t vs wchar_t in curs_get_wstr.3x

+ error.
+ + fix a typo in include/hashed_db.h (Andre Sa).
+
+20170225
+ + fixes for CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS (report by Ross Burton).
+
+20170218
+ + fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
+ + correct read of terminfo entry in which all strings are absent or
+ explicitly cancelled. Before this fix, the result was that all were
+ treated as only absent.
+ + modify infocmp to suppress mixture of absent/cancelled capabilities
+ that would only show as "NULL, NULL", unless the -q option is used,
+ e.g., to show "-, @" or "@, -".
+
+20170212
+ + build-fixes for PGI compilers (report by Adam J. Stewart)
+ + accept whitespace in sed expression for generating expanded.c
+ + modify configure check that g++ compiler warnings are not used.
+ + add configure check for -fPIC option needed for shared libraries.
+ + let configure --disable-ext-funcs override the default for the
+ --enable-sp-funcs option.
+ + mark some structs in form/menu/panel libraries as potentially opaque
+ without modifying API/ABI.
+ + add configure option --enable-opaque-curses for ncurses library and
+ similar options for the other libraries.
+
+20170204
+ + trim newlines, tabs and escaped newlines from terminfo "paths" passed
+ to db-iterator.
+ + ignore zero-length files in db-iterator; these are useful for
+ instance to suppress "$HOME/.terminfo" when not wanted.
+ + amended "b64:" encoder to work with the terminfo reader.
+ + modify terminfo reader to accept "b64:" format using RFC-3548 in
+ as well as RFC-4648 url/filename-safe format.
+ + modify terminfo reader to accept "hex:" format as generated by
+ "infocmp -0qQ1" (cf: 20150905).
+ + adjust authors comment to reflect drop below 1% for SV.
+
+20170128
+ + minor comment-fixes to help automate links to bug-urls -TD
+ + add dvtm, dvtm-256color -TD
+ + add settings corresponding to xterm-keys option to tmux entry to
+ reflect upcoming change to make that option "on" by default
+ (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+ + uncancel Ms in tmux entry (Harry Gindi, Nicholas Marriott).
+ + add dumb-emacs-ansi -TD
+
+20170121
+ + improve discussion of early history of tput program.
+ + incorporate A_COLOR mask into COLOR_PAIR(), in case user application
+ provides an out-of-range pair number (report by Elijah Stone).
+ + clarify description in tput manual page regarding support for
+ termcap names (prompted by FreeBSD #214709).
+ + remove a restriction in tput's support for termcap names which
+ omitted capabilities normally not shown in termcap translations
+ (cf: 990123).
+ + modify configure script for clang as used on FreeBSD, to work around
+ clang's differences in exit codes vs gcc.
+
+20170114
+ + improve discussion of early history of tset/reset programs.
+ + clarify in manual pages that the optional verbose option level is
+ available only when ncurses is configured for tracing.
+ + amend change from 20161231 to avoid writing traces to the standard
+ error after initializing the trace feature using the environment
+ variable.
+
+20170107
+ + amend changes for tput to reset tty modes to "sane" if the program
+ is run as "reset", like tset. Likewise, ensure that tset sends
+ either reset- or init-strings.
+ + improve manual page descriptions of tput init/reset and tset/reset,
+ to make it easier to see how they are similar and different.
+ + move a static result from key_name() to _nc_globals
+ + modify _nc_get_screensize to allow for use_env() and use_tioctl()
+ state to be per-screen when sp-funcs are configured, better matching
+ the behavior when using the term-driver configuration.
+ + improve cross-references in manual pages for often used functions
+ + move SCREEN field for use_tioctl() data before the ncursesw fields,
+ and limit that to the sp-funcs configuration to improve termlib
+ compatibility (cf: 20120714).
+ + correct order of initialization for traces in use_env() and
+ use_tioctl() versus first trace calls.
+
+20161231
+ + fix errata for ncurses-howto (report by Damien Ruscoe).
+ + fix a few places in configure/build scripts where DESTDIR and rpath
+ were combined (report by Thomas Klausner).
+ + merge current st description (report by Harry Gindi) -TD
+ + modify flash capability for linux and wyse entries to put the delay
+ between the reverse/normal escapes rather than after -TD
+ + modify program tabs to pass the actual tty file descriptor to
+ setupterm rather than the standard output, making padding work
+ consistently.
+ + explain in clear's manual page that it writes to stdout.
+ + add special case for verbose debugging traces of command-line
+ utilities which write to stderr (cf: 20161126).
+ + remove a trace with literal escapes from skip_DECSCNM(), added in
+ 20161203.
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
+20161224
+ + correct parmeters for copywin call in _nc_Synchronize_Attributes()
+ (patch by Leon Winter).
+ + improve color-handling section in terminfo manual page (prompted by
+ patch by Mihail Konev).
+ + modify programs clear, tput and tset to pass the actual tty file
+ descriptor to setupterm rather than the standard output, making
+ padding work.
+
+20161217
+ + add tput-colorcube demo script.
+ + add -r and -s options to tput-initc demo, to match usage in xterm.
+ + flush the standard output in _nc_flush for the case where SP is zero,
+ e.g., when called via putp. This fixes a scenario where "tput flash"
+ did not work after changes in 20130112.
+
+20161210
+ + add configure script option --disable-wattr-macros for use in cases
+ where one wants to use the same headers for ncurses5/ncurses6
+ development, by suppressing the wattr* macros which differ due to
+ the introduction of extended colors (prompted by comments in
+ Debian #230990, Redhat #1270534).
+ + add test/tput-initc to demonstrate tput used to initialize palette
+ from a data file.
+ + modify test/xterm*.dat to use the newer color4/color12 values.
+
+20161203
+ + improve discussion of field validation in form_driver.3x manual page.
+ + update curs_trace.3x manual page.
+
+20161126
+ + modify linux-16color to not mask dim, standout or reverse with the
+ ncv capability -TD
+ + add 0.1sec mandatory delay to flash capabilities using the VT100
+ reverse-video control -TD
+ + omit selection of ISO-8859-1 for G0 in enacs capability from linux2.6
+ entry, to avoid conflict with the user-defined mapping. The reset
+ feature will use ISO-8859-1 in any case (Mikulas Patocka).
+ + improve check in tic for delays by also warning about beep/flash
+ when a delay is not embedded, or if those use the VT100 reverse
+ video escape without using a delay.
+ + minor fix for syntax-check of delays from 20161119 changes.
+ + modify trace() to avoid overwriting existing file (report by Maor
+ Shwartz).
+
+20161119
+ + add check in tic for some syntax errors of delays, as well as use of
+ proportional delays for non-line capabilities.
+ + document history of the clear program and the E3 extension, prompted
+ by various discussions including
+ http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/87469/clearing-the-old-scrollback-buffer
+
+20161112
+ + improve -W option in tic/infocmp:
+ + correct order of size-adjustments in wrapped lines
+ + if -f option splits line, do not further split it with -W
+ + begin a new line when adding "use=" after a wrapped line
+
+20161105
+ + fix typo in man/terminfo.tail (Alain Williams).
+ + correct program-name in adacurses6-config.1 manual page.
+
+20161029
+ + add new function "unfocus_current_field" (Leon Winter)
+
+20161022
+ + modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the
+ screensize if it was already set in the system, to improve tabstop
+ setting which relies upon knowing the actual screensize.
+ + add functionality of tset -w to tput, like the "-c" feature this is
+ not optional in tput.
+ + add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput.
+ + improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow
+ for transformed names.
+ + split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with
+ tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.
+
+20161015
+ + amend internal use of tputs to consistently use the number of lines
+ affected, e.g., for insert/delete character operations. While
+ merging terminfo source early in 1995, several descriptions used the
+ "*" proportional delay for these operations, prompting a change in
+ doupdate.
+ + regenerate llib-* files.
+ + regenerate HTML manpages.
+ + fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
+
+20161008
+ + adjust size in infocmp/tic to work with strlcpy.
+ + fix configure script to record when strlcat is found on OpenBSD.
+ + build-fix for "recent" OpenBSD vs baudrate.
+
+20161001
+ + add -W option to tic/infocmp to force long strings to wrap. This is
+ in addition to the -w option which attempts to fit capabilities into
+ a given line-length.
+ + add linux-m1 minitel entries (patch by Alexandre Montaron).
+ + correct rs2 string for vt100-nam -TD
+
+20160924
+ + modify _nc_tic_expand to escape comma if it immediately follows a
+ percent sign, to work with minitel change.
+ + updated minitel and viewdata descriptions (Alexandre Montaron).
+
+20160917
+ + build-fix for gnat6, which unhelpfully attempts to compile C files.
+ + fix typo in 20160910 changes (Debian #837892, patch by Sven Joachim).
+
+20160910
+ + trim dead code ifdef'd with HIDE_EINTR since 970830 (discussion with
+ Leon Winter).
+ + trim some obsolete/incorrect wording about EINTR from wgetch manual
+ page (patch by Leon Winter).
+ + really correct 20100515 change (patch by Rich Coe).
+ + add "--enable-string-hacks" option to test/configure
+ + completed string-hacks for "sprintf", etc., including test-programs.
+ + make "--enable-string-hacks" work with Debian by checking for the
+ "bsd" library and its associated "<bsd/string.h>" header.
+
+20160903
+ + correct 20100515 change for weak signals versus sigprocmask (report
+ by Rich Coe).
+ + modify misc/Makefile.in to work around OpenBSD "make" which unlike
+ all other versions of "make" does not recognize continuation lines
+ of comments.
+ + amend the last change to CF_C_ENV_FLAGS to move only the
+ preprocessor, optimization and warning flags to CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS,
+ leaving the residue in CC. That happens to work for gcc's various
+ "model" options, but may require tuning for other compilers (report
+ by Sven Joachim).
+
+20160827
+ + add "v" menu entry to test/ncurses.c to show baudrate and other
+ values.
+ + add "newer" baudrate symbols from Linux and FreeBSD to progs/tset.c,
+ lib_baudrate.c
+ + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro:
+ + add "uclinux" to case for "linux" (patch by Yann E. Morin)
+ + modify _GNU_SOURCE for cygwin headers, tested with cygwin 2.3, 2.5
+ (patch by Corinna Vinschen, from changes to tin).
+ + improve CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS macro to allow for compiler wrappers such
+ as "ccache" (report by Enrico Scholz).
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
+20160820
+ + update tput manual page to reflect changes to manipulate terminal
+ modes by sharing functions with tset.
+ + add the terminal-mode parts of "reset" (aka tset) to the "tput reset"
+ command, making the two almost the same except for window-size.
+ + adapt logic used in dialog "--keep-tite" option for test/filter.c as
+ "-a" option. When set, test/filter attempts to suppress the
+ alternate screen.
+ + correct a typo in interix entry -TD
+
+20160813
+ + add a dependency upon generated-sources in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to
+ handle a case of "configure && make install".
+ + trim trailing blanks from include/Caps*, to work around a problem
+ in sed (Debian #818067).
+
+20160806
+ + improve CF_GNU_SOURCE configure macro to optionally define
+ _DEFAULT_SOURCE work around a nuisance in recent glibc releases.
+ + move the terminfo-specific parts of tput's "reset" function into
+ the shared reset_cmd.c, making the two forms of reset use the same
+ strings.
+ + split-out the terminal initialization functions from tset as
+ progs/reset_cmd.c, as part of changes to merge the reset-feature
+ with tput.
+
+20160730
+ + change tset's initialization to allow it to get settings from the
+ standard input as well as /dev/tty, to be more effective when
+ output or error are redirected.
+ + improve discussion of history and portability for tset/reset/tput
+ manual pages.
+
+20160723
+ + improve error message from tset/reset when both stderr/stdout are
+ redirected to a file or pipe.
+ + improve organization of curs_attr.3x, curs_color.3x
+
+20160709
+ + work around Debian's antique/unmaintained version of mawk when
+ building link_test.
+ + improve test/list_keys.c, showing ncurses's convention of modifiers
+ for special keys, based on xterm.
+
+20160702
+ + improve test/list_keys.c, using $TERM if no parameters areg given.
+
+20160625
+ + build-fixes for ncurses "test_progs" rule.
+ + amend change to CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS in 20160521 to make multilib build
+ work (report by Sven Joachim).
+
+20160618
+ + build-fixes for ncurses-examples with NetBSD curses.
+ + improve test/list_keys.c, fixing column-widths and sorting the list
+ to make it more readable.
+
+20160611
+ + revise fix for Debian #805618 (report by Vlado Potisk, cf: 20151128).
+ + modify test/ncurses.c a/A screens to make exiting on an escape
+ character depend on the start of keypad and timeout modes, to allow
+ better testing of function-keys.
+ + modify rs1 for xterm-16color, xterm-88color and xterm-256color to
+ reset palette using "oc" string as in linux -TD
+ + use ANSI reply for u8 in xterm-new, to reflect vt220-style responses
+ that could be returned -TD
+ + added a few capabilities fixed in recent vte -TD
+
+20160604
+ + correct logic for -f option in test/demo_terminfo.c
+ + add test/list_keys.c
+
+20160528
+ + further workaround for PIE/PIC breakage which causes gpm to not link.
+ + fix most cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses library.
+
+20160521
+ + improved manual page description of tset/reset versus window-size.
+ + fixes to work with a slightly broken compiler configuration which
+ cannot compile "Hello World!" without adding compiler options
+ (report by Ola x Nilsson):
+ + pass appropriate compiler options to the CF_PROG_CC_C_O macro.
+ + when separating compiler and options in CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS, ensure
+ that all options are split-off into CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS
+ + restore some -I options removed in 20140726 because they appeared
+ to be redundant. In fact, they are needed for a compiler that
+ cannot combine -c and -o options.
+
+20160514
+ + regenerate HTML manpages.
+ + improve manual pages for wgetch and wget_wch to point out that they
+ might return values without names in curses.h (Debian #822426).
+ + make linux3.0 entry the default linux entry (Debian #823658) -TD
+ + modify linux2.6 entry to improve line-drawing so that the linux3.0
+ entry can be used in non-UTF-8 mode -TD
+ + document return value of use_extended_names (report by Mike Gran).
+
+20160507
+ + amend change to _nc_do_color to restore the early return for the
+ special case used in _nc_screen_wrap (report by Dick Streefland,
+ cf: 20151017).
+ + modify test/ncurses.c:
+ + check return-value of putwin

+ to keypad- and scroll-modes.
+ + correct return-value of extended putwin (report by Mike Gran).
+
+20160423

+ and screen-repainting with control/L and control/R.
+ + add 'oc' capability to xterm+256color, allowing palette reset for
+ xterm -TD
+
+20160416
+ + add workaround in configure script for inept transition to PIE vs
+ PIC builds documented in
+ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Harden_All_Packages
+ + add "reset" to list of programs whose names might change in manpages
+ due to program-transformation configure options.
+ + drop long-obsolete "-n" option from tset.
+
+20160409
+ + modify test/blue.c to use Unicode values for card-glyphs when
+ available, as well as improving the check for CP437 and CP850.
+
+20160402
+ + regenerate HTML manpages.
+ + improve manual pages for utilities with respect to POSIX versus

+ + 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

+ configuration.
+
+20160130
+ + improve formatting of man/curs_refresh.3x and man/tset.1 manpages
+ + regenerate HTML manpages using newer man2html to eliminate some

+
+20160123
+ + ifdef'd header-file definition of mouse_trafo() with NCURSES_NOMACROS
+ (report by Corey Minyard).

+
+20160116
+ + tidy up comments about hardcoded 256color palette (report by

+ + 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.
+ + add check in tic for conflict between ritm, rmso, rmul versus sgr0.
+
+20151219
+ + add a paragraph to curs_getch.3x discussing key naming (discussion
+ with James Crippen).
+ + amend workaround for Solaris vs line-drawing to take the configure
+ check into account.
+ + add a configure check for wcwidth() versus the ncurses line-drawing
+ characters, to use in special-casing systems such as Solaris.
+
+20151212
+ + improve CF_XOPEN_CURSES macro used in test/configure, to define as
+ needed NCURSES_WIDECHAR for platforms where _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
+ does not work. Also modified the test program to ensure that if
+ building with ncurses, that the cchar_t type is checked, since that
+ normally is since 20111030 ifdef'd depending on this test.
+ + improve 20121222 workaround for broken acs, letting Solaris "work"
+ in spite of its misconfigured wcwidth which marks all of the line
+ drawing characters as double-width.
+
+20151205
+ + update form_cursor.3x, form_post.3x, menu_attributes.3x to list
+ function names in NAME section (patch by Jason McIntyre).
+ + minor fixes to manpage NAME/SYNOPSIS sections to consistently use
+ rule that either all functions which are prototyped in SYNOPSIS are
+ listed in the NAME section, or the manual-page name is the sole item
+ listed in the NAME section. The latter is used to reduce clutter,
+ e.g., for the top-level library manual pages as well as for certain
+ feature-pages such as SP-funcs and threading (prompted by patches by
+ Jason McIntyre).
+
+20151128
+ + add option to preserve leading whitespace in form fields (patch by
+ Leon Winter).
+ + add missing assignment in lib_getch.c to make notimeout() work
+ (Debian #805618).
+ + add 't' toggle for notimeout() function in test/ncurses.c a/A screens
+ + add viewdata terminal description (Alexandre Montaron).
+ + fix a case in tic/infocmp for formatting capabilities where a

+20151121
+ + fix some inconsistencies in the pccon* entries -TD
+ + add bold to pccon+sgr+acs and pccon-base (Tati Chevron).
+ + add keys f12-f124 to pccon+keys (Tati Chevron).
+ + add test/test_sgr.c program to exercise all combinations of sgr.
+
+20151107
+ + modify tset's assignment to TERM in its output to reflect the name by
+ which the terminal description is found, rather than the primary
+ name. That was an unnecessary part from the initial conversion of
+ tset from termcap to terminfo. The termcap program in 4.3BSD did
+ this to avoid using the short 2-character name (report by Rich
+ Burridge).
+ + minor fix to configure script to ensure that rules for resulting.map
+ are only generated when needed (cf: 20151101).
+ + modify configure script to handle the case where tic-library is
+ renamed, but the --with-debug option is used by itself without
+ normal or shared libraries (prompted by comment in Debian #803482).
+
+20151101
+ + amend change for pkg-config which allows build of pc-files when no
+ valid pkg-config library directory was configured to suppress the
+ actual install if it is not overridden to a valid directory at
+ install time (cf: 20150822).
+ + modify editing script which generates resulting.map to work with the
+ clang configuration on recent FreeBSD, which gives an error on an
+ empty "local" section.
+ + fix a spurious "(Part)" message in test/ncurses.c b/B tests due
+ to incorrect attribute-masking.
+
+20151024
+ + modify MKexpanded.c to update the expansion of a temporary filename
+ to "expanded.c", for use in trace statements.
+ + modify layout of b/B tests in test/ncurses.c to allow for additional
+ annotation on the right margin; some terminals with partial support
+ did not display well.
+ + fix typo in curs_attr.3x (patch by Sven Joachim).
+ + fix typo in INSTALL (patch by Tomas Cech).
+ + improve configure check for setting WILDCARD_SYMS variable; on ppc64
+ the variable is in the Data section rather than Text (patch by Michel
+ Normand, Novell #946048).
+ + using configure option "--without-fallbacks" incorrectly caused
+ FALLBACK_LIST to be set to "no" (patch by Tomas Cech).
+ + updated minitel entries to fix kel problem with emacs, and add
+ minitel1b-nb (Alexandre Montaron).
+ + reviewed/updated nsterm entry Terminal.app in OSX -TD
+ + replace some dead URLs in comments with equivalents from the
+ Internet Archive -TD
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git

+ + modify ncurses/Makefile.in to sort keys.list in POSIX locale
+ (Debian #801864, patch by Esa Peuha).
+ + remove an early-return from _nc_do_color, which can interfere with
+ data needed by bkgd when ncurses is configured with extended colors
+ (patch by Denis Tikhomirov).
+ > fixes for OS/2 (patches by KO Myung-Hun)
+ + use button instead of kbuf[0] in EMX-specific part of lib_mouse.c
+ + support building with libtool on OS/2
+ + use stdc++ on OS/2 kLIBC
+ + clear cf_XOPEN_SOURCE on OS/2
+
+20151010
+ + add configure check for openpty to test/configure script, for ditto.
+ + minor fixes to test/view.c in investigating Debian #790847.
+ + update autoconf patch to 2.52.20150926, incorporates a fix for Cdk.
+ + add workaround for breakage of POSIX makefiles by recent binutils
+ change.
+ + improve check for working poll() by using posix_openpt() as a
+ fallback in case there is no valid terminal on the standard input
+ (prompted by discussion on bug-ncurses mailing list, Debian #676461).
+
+20150926
+ + change makefile rule for removing resulting.map to distclean rather
+ than clean.
+ + add /lib/terminfo to terminfo-dirs in ".deb" test-package.
+ + add note on portability of resizeterm and wresize to manual pages.
+
+20150919
+ + clarify in resizeterm.3x how KEY_RESIZE is pushed onto the input
+ stream.
+ + clarify in curs_getch.3x that the keypad mode affects ability to
+ read KEY_MOUSE codes, but does not affect KEY_RESIZE.
+ + add overlooked build-fix needed with Cygwin for separate Ada95
+ configure script, cf: 20150606 (report by Nicolas Boulenguez)
+
+20150912
+ + fixes for configure/build using clang on OSX (prompted by report by
+ William Gallafent).
+ + do not redefine "inline" in ncurses_cfg.h; this was originally to
+ solve a problem with gcc/g++, but is aggravated by clang's misuse
+ of symbols to pretend it is gcc.
+ + add braces to configure script to prevent unwanted add of
+ "-lstdc++" to the CXXLIBS symbol.
+ + improve/update test-program used for checking existence of stdc++
+ library.
+ + if $CXXLIBS is set, the linkage test uses that in addition to $LIBS
+
+20150905
+ + add note in curs_addch.3x about line-drawing when it depends upon
+ UTF-8.
+ + add tic -q option for consistency with infocmp, use it to suppress
+ all comments from the "tic -I" output.
+ + modify infocmp -q option to suppress the "Reconstructed from"
+ header.
+ + add infocmp/tic -Q option, which allows one to dump the compiled
+ form of the terminal entry, in hexadecimal or base64.
+
+20150822
+ + sort options in usage message for infocmp, to make it simpler to
+ see unused letters.
+ + update usage message for tic, adding "-0" option.
+ + documented differences in ESCDELAY versus AIX's implementation.
+ + fix some compiler warnings from ports.
+ + modify --with-pkg-config-libdir option to make it possible to install
+ ".pc" files even if pkg-config is not found (adapted from patch by
+ Joshua Root).
+
+20150815
+ + disallow "no" as a possible value for "--with-shlib-version" option,
+ overlooked in cleanup-changes for 20000708 (report by Tommy Alex).
+ + update release notes in INSTALL.
+ + regenerate llib-* files to help with review for release notes.
+
+20150810
+ + workaround for Debian #65617, which was fixed in mawk's upstream

+ + minor fixes to manpages, etc., to simplify linking from announcement
+ page.
+
+20150725
+ + updated llib-* files.
+ + build-fixes for ncurses library "test_progs" rule.
+ + use alternate workaround for gcc 5.x feature (adapted from patch by
+ Mikhail Peselnik).
+ + add status line to tmux via xterm+sl (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+ + fixes for st 0.5 from testing with tack -TD
+ + review/improve several manual pages to break up wall-of-text:
+ curs_add_wch.3x, curs_attr.3x, curs_bkgd.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x,
+ curs_getcchar.3x, curs_getch.3x, curs_kernel.3x, curs_mouse.3x,
+ curs_outopts.3x, curs_overlay.3x, curs_pad.3x, curs_termattrs.3x
+ curs_trace.3x, and curs_window.3x
+
+20150719
+ + correct an old logic error for %A and %O in tparm (report by "zreed").
+ + improve documentation for signal handlers by adding section in the
+ curs_initscr.3x page.
+ + modify logic in make_keys.c to not assume anything about the size
+ of strnames and strfnames variables, since those may be functions
+ in the thread- or broken-linker configurations (problem found by
+ Coverity).
+ + modify test/configure script to check for pthreads configuration,
+ e.g., ncursestw library.
+
+20150711
+ + modify scripts to build/use test-packages for the pthreads
+ configuration of ncurses6.
+ + add references to ttytype and termcap symbols in demo_terminfo.c and
+ demo_termcap.c to ensure that when building ncursest.map, etc., that
+ the corresponding names such as _nc_ttytype are added to the list of
+ versioned symbols (report by Werner Fink)
+ + fix regression from 20150704 (report/patch by Werner Fink).
+
+20150704
+ + fix a few problems reported by Coverity.
+ + fix comparison against "/usr/include" in misc/gen-pkgconfig.in
+ (report by Daiki Ueno, Debian #790548, cf: 20141213).
+
+20150627
+ + modify configure script to remove deprecated ABI 5 symbols when
+ building ABI 6.
+ + add symbols _nc_Default_Field, _nc_Default_Form, _nc_has_mouse to
+ map-files, but marked as deprecated so that they can easily be
+ suppressed from ABI 6 builds (Debian #788610).
+ + comment-out "screen.xterm" entry, and inherit screen.xterm-256color
+ from xterm-new (report by Richard Birkett) -TD
+ + modify read_entry.c to set the error-return to -1 if no terminal
+ databases were found, as documented for setupterm.
+ + add test_setupterm.c to demonstrate normal/error returns from the
+ setupterm and restartterm functions.
+ + amend cleanup change from 20110813 which removed redundant definition
+ of ret_error, etc., from tinfo_driver.c, to account for the fact that
+ it should return a bool rather than int (report/analysis by Johannes
+ Schindelin).
+
+20150613
+ + fix overflow warning for OSX with lib_baudrate.c (cf: 20010630).
+ + modify script used to generate map/sym files to mark 5.9.20150530 as
+ the last "5.9" version, and regenerated the files. That makes the
+ files not use ".current" for the post-5.9 symbols. This also
+ corrects the label for _nc_sigprocmask used in when weak symbols are
+ configured for the ncursest/ncursestw libraries (prompted by
+ discussion with Sven Joachim).
+ + fix typo in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim).
+
+20150606 pre-release
+ + make ABI 6 the default by updates to dist.mk and VERSION, with the
+ intention that the existing ABI 5 should build as before using the
+ "--with-abi-version=5" option.
+ + regenerate ada- and man-html documentation.
+ + minor fixes to color- and util-manpages.
+ + fix a regression in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, to handle special case of
+ Cygwin, which uses the broken-linker feature.
+ + amend fix for CF_NCURSES_CONFIG used in test/configure to assume that
+ ncurses package scripts work when present for cross-compiling, as the
+ lessor of two evils (cf: 20150530).
+ + add check in configure script to disallow conflicting options
+ "--with-termlib" and "--enable-term-driver".
+ + move defaults for "--disable-lp64" and "--with-versioned-syms" into
+ CF_ABI_DEFAULTS macro.
+
+20150530
+ + change private type for Event_Mask in Ada95 binding to work when

+ + remove spurious "%;" from st entry (report by Daniel Pitts) -TD
+ + add vte-2014, update vte to use that -TD
+ + modify tic and infocmp to "move" a diagnostic for tparm strings that

+ + fix two problems with configure script macros (Debian #786436,
+ cf: 20150425, cf: 20100529).
+
+20150523
+ + add 'P' menu item to test/ncurses.c, to show pad in color.
+ + improve discussion in curs_color.3x about color rendering (prompted
+ by comment on Stack Overflow forum):
+ + remove screen-bce.mlterm, since mlterm does not do "bce" -TD
+ + add several screen.XXX entries to support the respective variations
+ for 256 colors -TD
+ + add putty+fnkeys* building-block entries -TD
+ + add smkx/rmkx to capabilities analyzed with infocmp "-i" option.
+
+20150516
+ + amend change to ".pc" files to only use the extra loader flags which
+ may have rpath options (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20150502).
+ + change versioning for dpkg's in test-packages for Ada95 and
+ ncurses-examples for consistency with Debian, to work with package
+ updates.
+ + regenerate html manpages.
+ + clarify handling of carriage return in waddch manual page; it was
+ discussed only in the portability section (prompted by comment on
+ Stack Overflow forum):
+
+20150509
+ + add test-packages for cross-compiling ncurses-examples using the
+ MinGW test-packages. These are only the Debian packages; RPM later.
+ + cleanup format of debian/copyright files
+ + add pc-files to the MinGW cross-compiling test-packages.
+ + correct a couple of places in gen-pkgconfig.in to handle renaming of
+ the tinfo library.
+
+20150502
+ + modify the configure script to allow different default values
+ for ABI 5 versus ABI 6.
+ + add wgetch-events to test-packages.
+ + add a note on how to build ncurses-examples to test/README.
+ + fix a memory leak in delscreen (report by Daniel Kahn Gillmor,
+ Debian #783486) -TD
+ + remove unnecessary ';' from E3 capabilities -TD
+ + add tmux entry, derived from screen (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+ + split-out recent change to nsterm-bce as nsterm-build326, and add
+ nsterm-build342 to reflect changes with successive releases of OSX
+ (discussion with Leonardo B Schenkel)
+ + add xon, ich1, il1 to ibm3161 (patch by Stephen Powell, Debian
+ #783806)
+ + add sample "magic" file, to document ext-putwin.
+ + modify gen-pkgconfig.in to add explicit -ltinfo, etc., to the
+ generated ".pc" file when ld option "--as-needed" is used, or when
+ ncurses and tinfo are installed without using rpath (prompted by
+ discussion with Sylvain Bertrand).
+ + modify test-package for ncurses6 to omit rpath feature when installed
+ in /usr.
+ + add OSX's "*.dSYM" to clean-rules in makefiles.
+ + make extra-suffix work for OSX configuration, e.g., for shared
+ libraries.
+ + modify Ada95/configure script to work with pkg-config
+ + move test-package for ncurses6 to /usr, since filename-conflicts have
+ been eliminated.
+ + corrected build rules for Ada95/gen/generate; it does not depend on
+ the ncurses library aside from headers.
+ + reviewed man pages, fixed a few other spelling errors.
+ + fix a typo in curs_util.3x (Sven Joachim).
+ + use extra-suffix in some overlooked shared library dependencies
+ found by 20150425 changes for test-packages.
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
+20150425
+ + expanded description of tgetstr's area pointer in manual page
+ (report by Todd M Lewis).
+ + in-progress changes to modify test-packages to use ncursesw6 rather
+ than ncursesw, with updated configure scripts.
+ + modify CF_NCURSES_CONFIG in Ada95- and test-configure scripts to

+ rpath option.
+ + add 'dim' capability to screen entry (report by Leonardo B Schenkel)

+
+20150418
+ + avoid a blank line in output from tabs program by ending it with

+ + modify autoconf macros to use scripting improvement from xterm.
+ + add -brtl option to compiler options on AIX 5-7, needed to link
+ with the shared libraries.
+ + add --with-extra-suffix option to help with installing nonconflicting
+ ncurses6 packages, e.g., avoiding header- and library-conflicts.
+ NOTE: as a side-effect, this renames
+ adacurses-config to adacurses5-config and
+ adacursesw-config to adacursesw5-config
+ + modify debian/rules test package to suffix programs with "6".
+ + clarify in curs_inopts.3x that window-specific settings do not
+ inherit into new windows.
+
+20150404
+ + improve description of start_color() in the manual.
+ + modify several files in ncurses- and progs-directories to allow
+ const data used in internal tables to be put by the linker into the
+ readonly text segment.
+
+20150329
+ + correct cut/paste error for "--enable-ext-putwin" that made it the
+ same as "--enable-ext-colors" (report by Roumen Petrov)
+
+20150328
+ + add "-f" option to test/savescreen.c to help with testing/debugging
+ the extended putwin/getwin.
+ + add logic for writing/reading combining characters in the extended

+ + add "--enable-ext-putwin" configure option to turn on the extended
+ putwin/getwin.
+
+20150321
+ + in-progress changes to provide an extended version of putwin and
+ getwin which will be capable of reading screen-dumps between the
+ wide/normal ncurses configurations. These are text files, except
+ for a magic code at the beginning:
+ 0 string \210\210 Screen-dump (ncurses)
+
+20150307
+ + document limitations of getwin in manual page (prompted by discussion
+ with John S Urban).
+ + extend test/savescreen.c to demonstrate that color pair values
+ and graphic characters can be restored using getwin.
+
+20150228
+ + modify win_driver.c to eliminate the constructor, to make it more
+ usable in an application which may/may not need the console window
+ (report by Grady Martin).
+
+20150221
+ + capture define's related to -D_XOPEN_SOURCE from the configure check
+ and add those to the *-config and *.pc files, to simplify use for
+ the wide-character libraries.
+ + modify ncurses.spec to accommodate Fedora21's location of pkg-config
+ directory.
+ + correct sense of "--disable-lib-suffixes" configure option (report
+ by Nicolas Boos, cf: 20140426).
+
+20150214
+ + regenerate html manpages using improved man2html from work on xterm.
+ + regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, accounting
+ for the "--enable-weak-symbols" configure option (report by Werner
+ Fink).
+
+20150131
+ + regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, showing
+ the combinations of configure options used at each stage.
+
+20150124
+ + add configure check to determine if "local: _*;" can be used in the
+ ".map" files to selectively omit symbols beginning with "_". On at
+ least recent FreeBSD, the wildcard applies to all "_" symbols.
+ + remove obsolete/conflicting rule for ncurses.map from
+ ncurses/Makefile.in (cf: 20130706).
+
+20150117
+ + improve description in INSTALL of the --with-versioned-syms option.
+ + add combination of --with-hashed-db and --with-ticlib to
+ configurations for ".map" files (report by Werner Fink).
+
+20150110
+ + add a step to generating ".map" files, to declare any remaining
+ symbols beginning with "_" as local, at the last version node.
+ + improve configure checks for pkg-config, addressing a variant found
+ with FreeBSD ports.
+ + modify win_driver.c to provide characters for special keys, like
+ ansi.sys, when keypad mode is off, rather than returning nothing at
+ all (discussion with Eli Zaretskii).
+ + add "broken_linker" and "hashed-db" configure options to combinations
+ use for generating the ".map" and ".sym" files.
+ + avoid using "ld" directly when creating shared library, to simplify
+ cross-compiles. Also drop "-Bsharable" option from shared-library
+ rules for FreeBSD and DragonFly (FreeBSD #196592).
+ + fix a memory leak in form library Free_RegularExpression_Type()
+ (report by Pavel Balaev).
+
+20150103
+ + modify_nc_flush() to retry if interrupted (patch by Stian Skjelstad).
+ + change map files to make _nc_freeall a global, since it may be used
+ via the Ada95 binding when checking for memory leaks.
+ + improve sed script used in 20141220 to account for wide-, threaded-
+ variations in ABI 6.
+
+20141227
