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.
+20091121
+ + fix case where progs/tput is used while sp-funcs is configure; this
+ requires save/restore of out-character function from _nc_prescreen
+ rather than the SCREEN structure (report by Charles Wilson).
+ + fix typo in man/curs_trace.3x which caused incorrect symbolic links
+ + improved configure macros CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_PROG_LINT.
+
+20091114
+
+ + updated man/curs_trace.3x
+ + limit hashing for termcap-names to 2-characters (Ubuntu #481740).
+ + change a variable name in lib_newwin.c to make it clearer which
+ value is being freed on error (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+
+20091107
+ + improve test/ncurses.c color-cycling test by reusing attribute-
+ and color-cycling logic from the video-attributes screen.
+ + add ifdef'd with NCURSES_INTEROP_FUNCS experimental bindings in form
+ library which help make it compatible with interop applications
+ (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ + add configure option --enable-interop, for integrating changes
+ for generic/interop support to form-library by Juergen Pfeifer
+
+20091031
+ + modify use of $CC environment variable which is defined by X/Open
+ as a curses feature, to ignore it if it is not a single character
+ (prompted by discussion with Benjamin C W Sittler).
+ + add START_TRACE in slk_init
+ + fix a regression in _nc_ripoffline which made test/ncurses.c not show
+ soft-keys, broken in 20090927 merging.
+ + change initialization of "hidden" flag for soft-keys from true to
+ false, broken in 20090704 merging (Ubuntu #464274).
+ + update nsterm entries (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler, prompted by
+ discussion with Fabian Groffen in GenToo #206201).
+ + add test/xterm-256color.dat
+
+20091024
+ + quiet some pedantic gcc warnings.
+ + modify _nc_wgetch() to check for a -1 in the fifo, e.g., after a
+ SIGWINCH, and discard that value, to avoid confusing application
+ (patch by Eygene Ryabinkin, FreeBSD bin/136223).
+
+20091017
+ + modify handling of $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to use only the first item in
+ a possibly colon-separated list (Debian #550716).
+
+20091010
+ + supply a null-terminator to buffer in _nc_viswibuf().
+ + fix a sign-extension bug in unget_wch() (report by Mike Gran).
+ + minor fixes to error-returns in default function for tputs, as well
+ as in lib_screen.c
+
20091003
+ add WACS_xxx definitions to wide-character configuration for thick-
and double-lines (discussion with Slava Zanko).
