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.
+20080823
+ + modify configure check for pthread library to work with OSF/1 5.1,
+ which uses #define's to associate its header and library.
+ + use pthread_mutexattr_init() for initializing pthread_mutexattr_t,
+ makes threaded code work on HPUX 11.23
+ + fix a bug in demo_menus in freeing menus (cf: 20080804).
+ + modify configure script for the case where tic library is used (and
+ possibly renamed) to remove its dependency upon ncurses/ncursew
+ library (patch by Dr Werner Fink).
+ + correct manpage for menu_fore() which gave wrong default for
+ the attribute used to display a selected entry (report by Mike Gran).
+ + add Eterm-256color, Eterm-88color and rxvt-88color (prompted by
+ Debian #495815) -TD
+
+20080816
+ + add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
+ + add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
+ + modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
+ applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
+ etc. This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
+ Werner Fink).
+ + add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
+ using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).

+ + modify configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to add case for
+ "dragonfly" from xterm #236 changes.
+ + modify configure script --with-hashed-db to let $LIBS override the
+ search for the db library (prompted by report by Samson Pierre).
+
+20080726
+ + build-fixes for gcc 4.3.1 (changes to gnat "warnings", and C inlining
+ thresholds).
