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.
+20130323
+ + build-fix for OS X, to handle changes for --with-cxx-shared feature
+ (report by Christian Ebert).
+ + change initialization for vt220, similar entries for consistency
+ with cursor-key strings (NetBSD #47674) -TD
+ + further improvements to linux-16color (Benjamin Sittler)
+
+20130316
+ + additional fix for tic.c, to allocate missing buffer space.
+ + eliminate configure-script warnings for gen-pkgconfig.in
+ + correct typo in sgr string for sun-color,
+ add bold for consistency with sgr,
+ change smso for consistency with sgr -TD
+ + correct typo in sgr string for terminator -TD
+ + add blink to the attributes masked by ncv in linux-16color (report
+ by Benjamin Sittler)
+ + improve warning message from post-load checking for missing "%?"
+ operator by tic/infocmp by showing the entry name and capability.
+ + minor formatting improvement to tic/infocmp -f option to ensure
+ line split after "%;".
+ + amend scripting for --with-cxx-shared option to handle the debug
+ library "libncurses++_g.a" (report by Sven Joachim).
+
+20130309
+ + amend change to toe.c for reading from /dev/zero, to ensure that
+ there is a buffer for the temporary filename (cf: 20120324).
+ + regenerated html manpages.
+ + fix typo in terminfo.head (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20130302).
+ + updated some autoconf macros:
+ + CF_ACVERSION_CHECK, from byacc 1.9 20130304
+ + CF_INTEL_COMPILER, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE from luit 2.0-20130217
+ + add configure option --with-cxx-shared to permit building
+ libncurses++ as a shared library when using g++, e.g., the same
+ limitations as libtool but better integrated with the usual build
+ configuration (Redhat 911540).
+ + modify MKkey_defs.sh to filter out build-path which was unnecessarily
+ shown in curses.h (Debian #689131).
+
+20130302
+ + add section to terminfo manpage discussing user-defined capabilities.
+ + update manpage description of NCURSES_NO_SETBUF, explaining why it
+ is obsolete.
+ + add a check in waddch_nosync() to ensure that tab characters are
+ treated as control characters; some broken locales claim they are
+ printable.
+ + add some traces to the Windows console driver.
+ + initialize a temporary array in _nc_mbtowc, needed for some cases
+ of raw input in MinGW port.
+
+20130218
+ + correct ifdef on change to lib_twait.c (report by Werner Fink).
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20130216
+ + modify test/testcurs.c to work with mouse for ncurses as it does for
+ pdcurses.
+ + modify test/knight.c to work with mouse for pdcurses as it does for
+ ncurses.
+ + modify internal recursion in wgetch() which handles cooked mode to
+ check if the call to wgetnstr() returned an error. This can happen
+ when both nocbreak() and nodelay() are set, for instance (report by
+ Nils Christopher Brause) (cf: 960418).
+ + fixes for issues found by Coverity:
+ + add a check for valid position in ClearToEOS()
+ + fix in lib_twait.c when --enable-wgetch-events is used, pointer
+ use after free.
+ + improve a limit-check in make_hash.c
+ + fix a memory leak in hashed_db.c
+
+20130209
+ + modify test/configure script to make it simpler to override names
+ of curses-related libraries, to help with linking with pdcurses in
+ mingw environment.
+ + if the --with-terminfo-dirs configure option is not used, there is
+ no corresponding compiled-in value for that. Fill in "no default
+ value" for that part of the manpage substitution.
+
20130202
+ correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make
an incorrect move (cf: 20001028).
