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.
+20081018
+ + build-fixes for OS/2 EMX.
+ + modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
+ in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris (report by
+ Nit Khair).
+ + modify configure script to assume --without-hashed-db when
+ --disable-database is used.
+ + add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating source-files
+ to force earlier exit if the build environment fails unexpectedly
+ (prompted by patch by Adrian Bunk).
+ + change configure script to use CF_UTF8_LIB, improved variant of
+ CF_LIBUTF8.
+
+20081012
+ + add teraterm4.59 terminfo entry, use that as primary teraterm entry, rename
+ original to teraterm2.3 -TD
+ + update "gnome" terminfo to 2.22.3 -TD
+ + update "konsole" terminfo to 1.6.6, needs today's fix for tic -TD
+ + add "aterm" terminfo -TD
+ + add "linux2.6.26" terminfo -TD
+ + add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined capabilities,
+ overlooked til now.
+
+20081011
+ + update html documentation.
+ + add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
+ the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
+ + correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
+ + document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
+ + fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
+ + add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
+ tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
+ 20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
+
+20081004
+ + some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
+ works for C/C++ parts).
+ + improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
+ AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
+
+20080927
+ + fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
+ strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
+ + fix build for --disable-sigwinch
+ + add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
+ GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
+ + disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
+ "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
+ that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
+ + reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
+ Miroslav Lichvar).
+ + fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
+ > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ + use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.
+ + discard internal symbol _nc_slk_format (unused since 20080112).
+ + move call of slk_paint_info() from _nc_slk_initialize() to
+ slk_intern_refresh(), improving initialization.
+
20080925
+ fix bug in mouse code for GPM from 20080920 changes (reported in
Debian #500103, also Miroslav Lichvar).
