Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions;
it is not possible to add this information.
+20130119
+ + fixes for issues found by Coverity:
+ + fix memory leak in safe_sprintf.c
+ + add check for return-value in tty_update.c
+ + correct initialization for -s option in test/view.c
+ + add check for numeric overflow in lib_instr.c
+ + improve error-checking in copywin
+ + add advice in infocmp manpage for termcap users (Debian #698469).
+ + add "-y" option to test/demo_termcap and test/demo_terminfo to
+ demonstrate behavior with/without extended capabilities.
+ + updated termcap manpage to document legacy termcap behavior for
+ matching capability names.
+ + modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate legacy
+ applications as well as to improve compatbility with BSD 4.2
+ termcap implementations (Debian #698299) (cf: 980725).
+
+20130112
+ + correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts.
+ + drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they
+ are unused in the current driver model.
+ + modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses
+ library.
+ + modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage.
+ + amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level
+ putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering.
+ The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674).
+
20130105
+ add "-s" option to test/view.c to allow it to start in single-step
mode, reducing size of trace files when it is used for debugging
