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.
+20150912
+ + fixes for configure/build using clang on OSX (prompted by report by
+ William Gallafent).
+ + do not redefine "inline" in ncurses_cfg.h; this was originally to
+ solve a problem with gcc/g++, but is aggravated by clang's misuse
+ of symbols to pretend it is gcc.
+ + add braces to configure script to prevent unwanted add of
+ "-lstdc++" to the CXXLIBS symbol.
+ + improve/update test-program used for checking existence of stdc++
+ library.
+ + if $CXXLIBS is set, the linkage test uses that in addition to $LIBS
+
+20150905
+ + add note in curs_addch.3x about line-drawing when it depends upon
+ UTF-8.
+ + add tic -q option for consistency with infocmp, use it to suppress
+ all comments from the "tic -I" output.
+ + modify infocmp -q option to suppress the "Reconstructed from"
+ header.
+ + add infocmp/tic -Q option, which allows one to dump the compiled
+ form of the terminal entry, in hexadecimal or base64.
+
+20150822
+ + sort options in usage message for infocmp, to make it simpler to
+ see unused letters.
+ + update usage message for tic, adding "-0" option.
+ + documented differences in ESCDELAY versus AIX's implementation.
+ + fix some compiler warnings from ports.
+ + modify --with-pkg-config-libdir option to make it possible to install
+ ".pc" files even if pkg-config is not found (adapted from patch by
+ Joshua Root).
+
+20150815
+ + disallow "no" as a possible value for "--with-shlib-version" option,
+ overlooked in cleanup-changes for 20000708 (report by Tommy Alex).
+ + update release notes in INSTALL.
+ + regenerate llib-* files to help with review for release notes.
+
+20150810
+ + workaround for Debian #65617, which was fixed in mawk's upstream
+ releases in 2009 (report by Sven Joachim). See
+ http://invisible-island.net/mawk/CHANGES.html#t20090727
+
+20150808 6.0 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+
+20150808
+ + build-fix for Ada95 on older platforms without stdint.h
+ + build-fix for Solaris, whose /bin/sh and /usr/bin/sed are non-POSIX.
+ + update release announcement, summarizing more than 800 changes across
+ more than 200 snapshots.
+ + minor fixes to manpages, etc., to simplify linking from announcement
+ page.
+
+20150725
+ + updated llib-* files.
+ + build-fixes for ncurses library "test_progs" rule.
+ + use alternate workaround for gcc 5.x feature (adapted from patch by
+ Mikhail Peselnik).
+ + add status line to tmux via xterm+sl (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+ + fixes for st 0.5 from testing with tack -TD
+ + review/improve several manual pages to break up wall-of-text:
+ curs_add_wch.3x, curs_attr.3x, curs_bkgd.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x,
+ curs_getcchar.3x, curs_getch.3x, curs_kernel.3x, curs_mouse.3x,
+ curs_outopts.3x, curs_overlay.3x, curs_pad.3x, curs_termattrs.3x
+ curs_trace.3x, and curs_window.3x
+
+20150719
+ + correct an old logic error for %A and %O in tparm (report by "zreed").
+ + improve documentation for signal handlers by adding section in the
+ curs_initscr.3x page.
+ + modify logic in make_keys.c to not assume anything about the size
+ of strnames and strfnames variables, since those may be functions
+ in the thread- or broken-linker configurations (problem found by
+ Coverity).
+ + modify test/configure script to check for pthreads configuration,
+ e.g., ncursestw library.
+
20150711
+ modify scripts to build/use test-packages for the pthreads
configuration of ncurses6.
together initialization- or reset-strings. The problem dates to
1.9.7a, but was overlooked until changes in -Wlogical-op warnings for
gcc 4.8 (report by David Binderman).

- checks for -Wextra, -Wignored-qualifiers and -Wlogical-op
+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, moving
