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.
+20181117
+ + ignore the hex/b64 $TERMINFO in toe's listing.
+ + correct a status-check in _nc_read_tic_entry() so that if reading
+ a hex/b64 $TERMINFO, and the $TERM does not match, fall-through to
+ the compiled-in search list.
+
+20181110
+ + several workarounds to ensure proper C compiler used in parts of
+ Ada95 tree.
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
+20181027
+ + add OpenGL clients alacritty and kitty -TD
+ + add Smulx for tmux, vte-2018 -Nicholas Marriott
+
+20181020
+ + ignore $TERMINFO as a default value in configure script if it came
+ from the infocmp -Q option.
+ + allow value for --with-versioned-syms to be a relative pathname
+ + add a couple of broken-linker symbols to the list of versioned
+ symbols to help with link-time optimization versus weak symbols.
+ + apply shift/control/alt logic when decoding xterm's 1006 mode to
+ wheel-mouse events (Redhat #1610681).
+
+20181013
+ + amend change from 20180818, which undid a fix for the $INSTALL value
+ to make it an absolute path.
+
+20181006
+ + improve a configure check to work with newer optimizers (report by
+ Denis Pronin, Gentoo #606142).
+ + fix typo in tput.c (Sven Joachim, cf: 20180825).
+
+20180929
+ + fix typo in tvi955 -TD
+ + corrected acsc for regent60 -TD
+ + add alias n7900 -TD
+ + corrected acsc for tvi950 -TD
+ + remove bogus kf0 from tvi950 -TD
+ + added function-key definitions to agree with Televideo 950 manual -TD
+ + add bel to tvi950 -TD
+ + add shifted function-keys to regent60 -TD
+ + renumber regent40 function-keys to match manual -TD
+ + add cd (clr_eos) to adds200 -TD
+
+20180923
+ + build-fix: remove a _tracef call which was used for debugging (report
+ by Chris Clayton).
+
+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).
+ + add "--disable-relink" to rpm test-packages, for consistency with the
+ deb test-packages.
+ + split spec-file into ncurses6.spec and ncursest6.spec to work around
+ toolset breakage in Fedora 28.
+ + drop mention of "--disable-touching", which was not in the final
+ 20180818 updates.
+
20180818
+ build-fix for PDCurses with ncurses-examples.
+ improved CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS.
+ modify scripts which use "--disable-relink" to add a 1-second
sleep to work around tools which use whole-second timestamps, e.g.,
in utime() rather than the actual file system resolution.
- + add "--disable-touching" option for using "install -p" option during
- the install, e.g., so that header-files have a predictable timestamp.
20180804
+ improve logic for clear with E3 extension, in case the terminal
