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.
+20150221
+ + capture define's related to -D_XOPEN_SOURCE from the configure check
+ and add those to the *-config and *.pc files, to simplify use for
+ the wide-character libraries.
+ + modify ncurses.spec to accommodate Fedora21's location of pkg-config
+ directory.
+ + correct sense of "--disable-lib-suffixes" configure option (report
+ by Nicolas Boos, cf: 20140426).
+
+20150214
+ + regenerate html manpages using improved man2html from work on xterm.
+ + regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, accounting
+ for the "--enable-weak-symbols" configure option (report by Werner
+ Fink).
+
+20150131
+ + regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, showing
+ the combinations of configure options used at each stage.
+
+20150124
+ + add configure check to determine if "local: _*;" can be used in the
+ ".map" files to selectively omit symbols beginning with "_". On at
+ least recent FreeBSD, the wildcard applies to all "_" symbols.
+ + remove obsolete/conflicting rule for ncurses.map from
+ ncurses/Makefile.in (cf: 20130706).
+
+20150117
+ + improve description in INSTALL of the --with-versioned-syms option.
+ + add combination of --with-hashed-db and --with-ticlib to
+ configurations for ".map" files (report by Werner Fink).
+
+20150110
+ + add a step to generating ".map" files, to declare any remaining
+ symbols beginning with "_" as local, at the last version node.
+ + improve configure checks for pkg-config, addressing a variant found
+ with FreeBSD ports.
+ + modify win_driver.c to provide characters for special keys, like
+ ansi.sys, when keypad mode is off, rather than returning nothing at
+ all (discussion with Eli Zaretskii).
+ + add "broken_linker" and "hashed-db" configure options to combinations
+ use for generating the ".map" and ".sym" files.
+ + avoid using "ld" directly when creating shared library, to simplify
+ cross-compiles. Also drop "-Bsharable" option from shared-library
+ rules for FreeBSD and DragonFly (FreeBSD #196592).
+ + fix a memory leak in form library Free_RegularExpression_Type()
+ (report by Pavel Balaev).
+
+20150103
+ + modify_nc_flush() to retry if interrupted (patch by Stian Skjelstad).
+ + change map files to make _nc_freeall a global, since it may be used
+ via the Ada95 binding when checking for memory leaks.
+ + improve sed script used in 20141220 to account for wide-, threaded-
+ variations in ABI 6.
+
+20141227
+ + regenerate ".map" files, using step overlooked in 20141213 to use
+ the same patch-dates across each file to match ncurses.map (report by
+ Sven Joachim).
+
20141221
+ fix an incorrect variable assignment in 20141220 changes (report by
Sven Joachim).
