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.
+20180317
+ + fix a check in infotocap which may not have detected a problem when
+ it should have.
+ + add a check in tic for the case where setf/setb are given using
+ different strings, but provide identical results to setaf/setab.
+ + further improve fix for terminfo.5 (patch by Kir Kolyshkin).
+ + reorder loop-limit checks in winsnstr() in case the string has no
+ terminating null and only the number of characters is used (patch
+ by Gyorgy Jeney).
+
+20180303
+ + modify TurnOn/TurnOff macros in lib_vidattr.c and lib_vid_attr.c to
+ avoid expansion of "CUR" in trace.
+ + improve a few lintian warnings in test-packages.
+ + modify lib_setup to avoid calling pthread_self() without first
+ verifying that the address is valid, i.e., for weak symbols
+ (report/patch by Werner Fink).
+ + modify generated terminfo.5 to not use "expand" and related width
+ on the last column of tables, making layout on wide terminals look
+ better (adapted from patch by Kir Kolyshkin).
+ + add a category to report_offsets, e.g., "w" for wide-character, "t"
+ for threads to make the report more readable. Reorganized the
+ structures reported to make the categories more apparent.
+ + simplify some ifdef's for extended-colors.
+ + add NCURSES_GLOBALS and NCURSES_PRESCREEN to report_offsets, to show
+ how similar the different tinfo configurations are.
+
+20180224
+ + modify _nc_resolve_uses2() to detect incompatible types when merging
+ a "use=" clause of extended capabilities. The problem was seen in a
+ defective terminfo integrated from simpleterm sources in 20171111,
+ compounded by repair in 20180121.
+ + correct Ss/Ms interchange in st-0.7 entry (tmux #1264) -TD
+ + fix remaining flash capabilities with trailing mandatory delays -TD
+ + correct cut/paste in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim).
+
+20180217
+ + remove incorrect free() from 20170617 changes (report by David Macek).
+ + correct type for "U8" in user_caps.5; it is a number not boolean.
+ + add a null-pointer check in safe_sprintf.c (report by Steven Noonan).
+ + improve fix for Debian #882620 by reusing limit2 variable (report by
+ Julien Cristau, Sven Joachim).
+
+20180210
+ + modify misc/Makefile.in to install/uninstall explicit list in case
+ the build-directory happens to have no ".pc" files when an uninstall
+ is performed (report by Jeffrey Walton).
+ + deprecate safe-sprintf, since the vsnprintf function, which does what
+ was needed, was standardized long ago.
+ + add several development/experimental options to development packages.
+ + minor reordering of options in configure script to make the threaded
+ and reentrant options distinct from the other extensions which are
+ normally enabled.
+
+20180203
+ + minor fixes to test/*.h to make them idempotent.
+ + add/use test/parse_rgb.h to show how the "RGB" capability works.
+ + add a clarification in user_caps.5 regarding "RGB" capability.
+ + add extended_slk_color{,_sp} symbols to the appropriate
+ package/*.{map,sym} files (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20170401).
+
+20180129
+ + update "VERSION" file, used in shared-library naming.
+
+20180127 6.1 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+
+20180127
+ + updated release notes
+ + amend a warning message from tic which should have flagged misuse
+ of "XT" capability in "screen" terminal description.

+ not suitable -TD
+ + modify iterm to use xterm+sl-twm building block -TD
+ + mark konsole-420pc, konsole-vt100, konsole-xf3x obsolete reflecting
+ konsole's removal in 2008 -TD
+ + expanded the history section of konsole to explain its flawed
+ imitation of xterm's keyboard -TD
+ + use xterm+x11mouse in screen.* entries because screen does not yet
+ support xterm's 1006 mode -TD
+ + add nsterm-build400 for macOS 10.13 -TD
+ + add ansi+idc1, use that in ansi+idc adding dch for consistency -TD

+ + remove "boolean" Se, Ss from st-0.7 -TD
+ + add konsole-direct and st-direct -TD
+ + remove unsupported "Tc" capability from st-0.7; use st-direct if
+ direct-colors are wanted -TD
+ + add vte-direct -TD
+ + add XT, hpa, indn, and vpa to screen, and invis, E3 to tmux (patch by
+ Pierre Carru)
+ + use xterm+sm+1006 in xterm-new, vte-2014 -TD
+ + use xterm+x11mouse in iterm, iterm2, mlterm3 because xterm's 1006
+ mode does not work with those programs. konsole is debatable -TD
+ + add "termite" entry (report by Markus Pfeiffer) -TD
+ > merge branch begun April 2, 2017 which provides these features:
+ + support read/write new binary-format for terminfo which stores
+ numeric capabilities as a signed 32-bit integer. The test programs
+ such as picsmap, ncurses were created or updated during 2017 to use
+ this feature.
+ + the new format is written by the wide-character configuration of
+ tic when it finds a numeric capability larger than 32767.
+ + other applications such as infocmp built with the wide-character
+ ncurses library work as expected.
+ + applications built with the "narrow" (8-bit) configuration will
+ read the new format, but will limit those extended values to 32767.
+ + in either wide/narrow configuration, the structure defined in
+ term.h still uses signed 16-bit values.
+ + because it is incompatible with the legacy (mid-1980s) binary format,
+ a new magic value is provided for the "file" program.
+ + the term.5 manual page is updated to describe this new format.
+ + the limit on file-size for compiled terminfo is increased in the
+ wide-character configuration to 32768.
+
+20180120
+ + build-fix in picsmap.c for stdint.h existence.
+ + add --disable-stripping option to configure scripts.
+ + modify ncurses-examples to install test-scripts in the data directory.
+ + work around tool-breakage in Debian 9 and later by invoking
+ gprconfig to specify the C compiler to be used by gnatmake,
+ and conditionally suppressing Library_Options line for static
+ libraries.
+ + bump the compat level for test-packages to 7, i.e., Debian 5.
+
+20180106
+ + fixes for writing extended color pairs in putwin.
+ + modify test/savescreen.c to add test patterns that exercise 88-,
+ 256-, etc., colors.
+ + modify configure option --with-build-cc, adding clang, c89 and c99
+ as possible default values.
+ + modify ncurses-examples configure script to use pkg-config for the
+ extra form/menu/panel libraries, to be more consistent with the
+ handling of the curses/ncurses library.
+ + modify test-packages for mingw to supply "pc" files.
+ + modify gen-pkgconfig.in to list -lpthread as a private library when
+ configured to access it via weak symbols.
+ + simplify gen-pkgconfig.in, adding -ltinfo without the special linker
+ checks because some versions of the linker simply hard-code the
+ behavior.
+ + update URLs for ncurses website to use https.
+ + modify CF_CURSES_LIBS to fill in $cf_nculib_root in case the
+ ncurses-examples are built with a system ncurses that lacks the
+ standard "curses" symbolic link, as done by SuSE. The symbol is
+ needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and
+ would be set properly using the options "--with-screen", etc.
+ + generate misc/*.pc with "all" rule, as done for "sources" rule
+ (report by Jeffrey Walton).
+
+20171230
+ + build-fix for ncurses-examples with Fedora27, adding check for
+ reset_color_pairs() -- not yet in Fedora's package.
+ + consistently add $CFLAGS to $MK_SHARED_LIB symbol in configure
+ script when the latter happens to use the C compiler rather than
+ directly using the loader (report by Jeffrey Walton).
+ + set ABI for upcoming 6.1 release in "*.map" files. While there are
+ some remaining internals to apply, no ABI-related changes are
+ anticipated.
+ + add configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
+ conflict with Redhat packages versus test-packages.
+
+20171223
+ + modify ncurses-examples to quiet const-warnings when building with
+ PDCurses.
+ + modify toe to not exit if unable to read a terminal description,
+ e.g., if there is a permission problem.
+ + minor fix for progs/toe.c, using _nc_free_termtype2.
+ + assign 0 to pointer in _nc_tgetent_leak() after freeing it. Also
+ avoid reusing pointer from previous successful call to tgetent
+ if the latest call is unsuccessful (patch by Michael Schroeder,
+ OpenSuSE #1070450).
+ + minor fix for test/tracemunch, initialize $awaiting variable.
+
+20171216
+ + repair template in test/package/ncurses-examples.spec (cf: 20171111).
+ + improve tic's warning about the number of parameters tparm might use
+ for u1-u9 by making a special case for u6.
+ + improve curs_attr.3x discussion of color pairs.
+
+20171209
+ + modify misc/ncurses-config.in to make output with --includedir
+ consistent with --cflags, i.e., when --disable-overwrite option was
+ configured the output should show the subdirectory where headers
+ are.
+ + modify MKlib_gen.sh to suppress macros when calling an "implemented"
+ function in link_test.c
+ + updated ftp-url used in test-packages, etc.
+ + modify order of -pie/-shared options in configure script in case
+ LDFLAGS uses "-pie", working around a defect or limitation in the GNU
+ linker (prompted by patch by Yogesh Prasad, forwarded by Jay Shah).
+ + add entry in man_db.renames for user_caps.5
+
+20171125
+ + modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid tracing result from getstr/getnstr
+ before initialized.
+ + add "-a" aspect-ratio option to picsmap.
+ + add configure check for default path of rgb.txt, used in picsmap.
+ + modify _nc_write_entry() to truncate too-long filename (report by
+ Hosein Askari, Debian #882620).
+ + build-fix for ncurses-examples with NetBSD curses:
+ + it lacks the use_env() function.
+ + it lacks libpanel; a recent change used the wrong ifdef symbol.
+ + add a macro for is_linetouched() and adjust the function's return
+ value to make it possible for most applications to check for an
+ error-return (report by Midolikawa H).
+ + additional manpage cleanup.
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
+20171118
+ + add a note to curs_addch.3x on portability.
+ + add a note to curs_pad.3x on the origin and portability of pads.
+ + improve manpage description of getattrs (report by Midolikawa H).
+ + improve manpage macros (prompted by discussion in Debian #880551.
+ + reviewed test-programs using KEY_RESIZE, made fixes to test/worm.c
+ + add a "-d" option to picsmap for default-colors.
+ + modify old terminology entry and a few other terminal emulators to
+ account for xon -TD
+ + correct sgr string for tmux, which used screen's "standout" code
+ rather than the standard code (patch by Roman Kagan)
+ + correct sgr/sgr0 strings in a few other cases reported by tic, making
+ those correspond to the non-sgr settings where they differ, but
+ otherwise use ECMA-48 consistently:
+ jaixterm, aixterm, att5420_2, att4424, att500, decansi, d410-7b,
+ dm80, hpterm, emu-220, hp2, iTerm2.app, mterm-ansi, ncrvt100an,
+ st-0.7, vi603, vwmterm -TD
+ + build-fix for diagnostics warning in lib_mouse.c for pre-5.0 versions
+ of gcc which did not recognize the diagnostic "push" pragma (patch by
+ Vassili Courzakis).
+
+20171111
+ + add "op" to xterm+256setaf -TD
+ + reviewed terminology 1.0.0 -TD
+ + reviewed st 0.7 -TD
+ + suppress debug-package for ncurses-examples rpm build.
+
+20171104
+ + check for interrupt in color-pair initialization of dots_curses.c,
+ dots_xcurses.c
+ + add z/Z zoom feature to test/ncurses.c C/c screens.
+ + add '<' and '>' commands to test/ncurses.c S/s screens, to better
+ test off-by-ones in the overlap/copywin functions.
+
+20171028
+ + improve man/curs_inwstr.3x, correct end-logic for lib_inwstr.c
+ (report by Midolikawa H).
+ + fix typo in a few places for "improvements" (patch by Sven Joachim).
+ + clear the other half of a double-width character on which a line
+ drawing character is drawn.
+ + make test/ncurses.c "s" test easier to understand which subtests are
+ available; add a "S" wide-character overlap test-screen.
+ + modify test/ncurses.c C/c tests to allow for extended color pairs.
+ + add endwin() call in error-returns from test/ncurses.c omitted in
+ recent redesign of its menu (cf: 20170923).
+ + improve install of hashed-db by removing the ".db" file as done for
+ directory-tree terminal databases.
+ + repair a few overlooked items in include/ncurses_defs from recent
+ port/refactoring of test-programs (cf: 20170909).
+ + add test/padview.c, to compare pads with direct updates in view.c
+
+20171021
+ + modify test/view.c to expand tabs using the ncurses library rather
+ than in the test-program.
+ + remove very old SIGWINCH example in test/view.c, just use KEY_RESIZE.
+ + add -T, -e, -f -m options to "dots" test-programs.
+ + fix a few typos in usage-messages for test-programs.
+
+20171014
+ + minor cleanup to test/view.c:
+ + eliminate "-n" option by simply reading the whole file.
+ + implement page up/down commands.
+ + add check in tput for init/reset operands to ensure those use a
+ terminal.
+ + improve manual pages which discuss chtype, cchar_t types and the
+ attribute values which can be stored in those types.
+ + correct array-index when parsing "-T" command-line option in tabs
+ program.
+ + modify demo_new_pair.c to pass extended pairs to setcchar().
+ + add test/dots_xcurses.c to illustrate a different approach used for
+ extended colors which can be contrasted with dots_curses.c.
+ + add a check in tic to note when a description uses non-mandatory
+ delays without xon_xoff. This is not an error, but some descriptions
+ for a terminal emulator may use the combination incorrectly.
+
+20171007
+ + modify "-T" option of clear and tput to call use_tioctl() to obtain
+ the operating system's notion of the screensize if possible.
+ + review/repair some exit-codes for tput, making usage-message exit
+ with 2 rather than 1, and a failure to open terminal 4+errno.
+ + amend check in tput, tabs and clear to allow those to use the
+ database-only features in cron if a -T option gives a suitable
+ terminal name (report by Lauri Tirkkonen).
+ + correct an ifdef in test/ncurses.c for systems with soft-keys but
+ not slk_color().
+ + regenerate man-html documentation.
+
+20170930
+ + fix a symbol conflict that made ncurses.c C/c menu not work with
+ Solaris xpg4 curses.
+ + add refresh() call to dots_mvcur.c, needed to use mvcur() with
+ Solaris xpg4 curses after calling newterm().
+ + minor fixes for configure script from work on ncurses-examples and
+ tin.
+ + improve animation in test/xmas.c by adding a time-delay in blinkit().
+ + modify several test programs to reflect that ncurses honors existing
+ signal handlers in initscr(), while other implementations do not.
+ + modify bs.c to make it easier to quit.
+ + change ncurses-examples to use attr_t vs chtype to follow X/Open
+ documentation more closely since Solaris xpg4-curses uses different
+ values for WA_xxx vs A_xxx that rely on attr_t being an unsigned
+ short. Tru64 aka OSF1, HPUX, AIX did as ncurses does, equating the
+ two sets.
+
+20170923
+ + modify menu for test/ncurses.c to fit on 24-line screen.
+ + build-fix for configure --with-caps=uwin
+ + add options to test_arrays.c, for selecting termcap vs terminfo, etc.
+
+20170916
+ + minor fix to test/filter.c to avoid clearing the command in one case.
+ + modify filter() to discard clr_eos if back_color_erase is set.
+
+20170909
+ + improve wide-character implementation of myADDNSTR() in frm_driver.c,
+ which was inconsistent with the normal implementation.
+ + save/restore cursor position in Undo_Justification(), matching
+ behavior of Buffer_To_Window() (report by Leon Winter).
+ + modify test/knight to provide the "slow" solution for small screens
+ using "R", noting that Warnsdorf's method is easily done with "a".
+ + modify several test-programs which call use_default_colors() to
+ consistently do this only if "-d" option is given.
+ + additional changes to test with non-standard variants of curses:
+ + modify a loop limit in firework.c to work around absense of limit
+ checks in some libraries.
+ + fill the last row of a window with "?" in firstlast if waddch does
+ not return ERR on the lower-right corner.
+ + add checks in test/configure for some functions not in 4.3BSD curses.
+ + fix a regression in test/configure (cf: 20170826).
+
+20170902
+ + amend change for endwin-state for better consistency with the older
+ logic (report/patch by Jeb Rosen, cf: 20170722).
+ + modify check in fmt_entry() to handle a cancelled reset string
+ (Debian #873746). Make similar fixes in other parts of dump_entry.c
+ and tput.c
+
+20170827
+ + fix a bug in repeat_char logic (cf: 20170729, report by Chris Clayton).
+
+20170826
+ + fixes for "iterm2" (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
+ + corrected a warning from tic about keys which are the same, to skip
+ over missing/cancelled values.
+ + add check in tic for unnecessary use of "2" to denote a shifted
+ special key.
+ + improve checks in trim_sgr0, comp_parse.c and parse_entry.c, for
+ cancelled string capabilities.
+ + add check in _nc_parse_entry() for invalid entry name, setting the
+ name to "invalid" to avoid problems storing entries.
+ + add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
+ + add a check in comp_scan.c to handle the special case where a
+ nontext file ending with a NUL rather than newline is given to tic
+ as input (Redhat #1484274).
+ + allow for cancelled capabilities in _nc_save_str (Redhat #1484276).
+ + add validity checks for "use=" target in _nc_parse_entry (Redhat
+ #1484284).
+ + check for invalid strings in postprocess_termcap (Redhat #1484285)
+ + reset secondary pointers on EOF in next_char() (Redhat #1484287).
+ + guard _nc_safe_strcpy() and _nc_safe_strcat() against calls using
+ cancelled strings (Redhat #1484291).
+ + correct typo in curs_memleaks.3x (Sven Joachim).
+ + improve test/configure checks for some curses variants not based on
+ X/Open Curses.
+ + add options for test/configure to disable checks for form, menu and
+ panel libraries.
+
+20170819
+ + update "iterm" entry -TD
+ + add "iterm2" entry (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
+ + regenerate llib-* files.
+ + regenerate HTML manpages.
+ + improve picsmap test-program:
+ + reduce memory used for tsearch
+ + add report in log file showing cumulative color coverage.
+ + add -x option to clear/tput to make the E3 extension optional
+ (cf: 20130622).
+ + add options -T and -V to clear command for compatibility with tput.
+ + add usage message to clear command (Debian #371855).
+ + improve usage messages for tset and tput.
+ + minor fixes to "RGB" extension and reset_color_pairs().
+
+20170812
+ + improve description of -R option in infocmp manual page (report by
+ Stephane Chazelas).
+ + add reset_color_pairs() function.
+ + add user_caps.5 manual page to document the terminfo extensions used
+ by ncurses.
+ + improve build scripts, using SIGQUIT vs SIGTRAP; add other configure
+ script fixes from work on xterm, lynx and tack.
+ + modify install-rule for ncurses-examples to put the data files in
+ /usr/share/ncurses-examples
+ + improve tracemunch, by changing address-parameters of add_wch(),
+ color_content() and pair_content() to dummy parameters.
+ + minor optimization to _nc_change_pair, to return quickly when the
+ current screen is marked for clearing.
+ + in-progress changes to improve performance of test/picsmap.c for
+ loading image files.
+ + modify allocation for SCREEN's color-pair table to start small, grow
+ on demand up to the existing limit.
+ + add "RGB" extension capability for direct-color support, use this to
+ improve color_content().
+ + improve picsmap test-program:
+ + if no palette file is needed, attempt to load one based on $TERM,
+ checking first in the current directory, then by adding ".dat"
+ suffix, and finally in the data-directory, e.g.,
+ /usr/share/ncurses-examples
+ + add "-l" option for logging
+ + add "-d" option for debugging
+ + add "-s" option for stepping automatically through list of images,
+ with time delay.
+ + use tsearch to improve time for loading color table for images.
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
+20170729
+ + update interix entry using tack and SFU on Windows 7 Ultimate -TD
+ + use ^? for kdch1 in interix (reported by Jonathan de Boyne Pollard)
+ + add "rep" to xterm-new, available since 1997/01/26 -TD
+ + move SGR 24 and 27 from vte-2014 to vte-2012 (request by Alain
+ Williams) -TD
+ + add a check in newline_forces_scroll() in case a program moves the
+ cursor outside scrolling margins (report by Robert King).
+ + improve _nc_tparm_analyze, using that to extend the checks made by
+ tic for reporting inconsistencies between the expected number of
+ parameters for a capability and the actual.
+ + amend handling of repeat_char capability in EmitRange (adapted from
+ report/patch by Dick Wesseling):
+ + translate the character to the alternate character set when the
+ alternate character set is enabled.
+ + do not use repeat_char for characters past 255.
+ + document "_nc_free_tinfo" in manual page, because it could be used in
+ tack for memory-leak checking.
+ + add "--without-tack" configure option to refine "--with-progs"
+ configure option. Normally tack is no longer built in-tree, but
+ a few packagers combine it during the build. If term_entry.h is
+ installed, there is no advantage to in-tree builds.
+ + adjust configure-script to define HAVE_CURSES_DATA_BOOLNAMES symbol
+ needed for tack 1.08 when built in-tree. Rather than relying upon
+ internal "_nc_" functions, tack now uses the boolean, number and
+ string capability name-arrays provided by ncurses and SVr4 Unix
+ curses. It still uses term_entry.h for the definitions of the
+ extended capability arrays.
+ + add an overlooked null-pointer check in mvcur changes from 20170722
+
+20170722
+ + improve test-packages for ncurses-examples and AdaCurses for lintian
+ + modify logic for endwin-state to be able to detect the case where
+ the screen was never initialized, using that to trigger a flush of
+ ncurses' buffer for mvcur, e.g., in test/dots_mvcur.c for the
+ term-driver configuration.
+ + add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to a few other internal header
+ files to allow each to be compiled separately.
+ + add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to tic's header-files; any program
+ using tic-library will have to supply this file. Legacy tack
+ versions supply this file; ongoing tack development has dropped the
+ dependency upon tic-library and new releases will not be affected.
+
+20170715
+ + modify command-line parameters for "convert" used in picsmap to work
+ with ImageMagick 6.8 and newer.
+ + fix build-problem with tack and ABI-5 (Debian #868328).
+ + repair termcap-format from tic/infocmp broken in 20170701 fixes
+ (Debian #868266).
+ + reformat terminfo.src with 20170513 updates.
+ + improve test-packages to address lintian warnings.
+
20170708
+ add a note to tic manual page about -W versus -f options.
+ correct a limit-check in fixes from 20170701 (report by Sven Joachim).
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
20161224
- + correct parmeters for copywin call in _nc_Synchronize_Attributes()
+ + correct parameters for copywin call in _nc_Synchronize_Attributes()
(patch by Leon Winter).
+ improve color-handling section in terminfo manual page (prompted by
patch by Mihail Konev).
for special keys, based on xterm.
