Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions;
it is not possible to add this information.
+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.
+ + add references to ttytype and termcap symbols in demo_terminfo.c and
+ demo_termcap.c to ensure that when building ncursest.map, etc., that
+ the corresponding names such as _nc_ttytype are added to the list of
+ versioned symbols (report by Werner Fink)
+ + fix regression from 20150704 (report/patch by Werner Fink).
+
+20150704
+ + fix a few problems reported by Coverity.
+ + fix comparison against "/usr/include" in misc/gen-pkgconfig.in
+ (report by Daiki Ueno, Debian #790548, cf: 20141213).
+
+20150627
+ + modify configure script to remove deprecated ABI 5 symbols when
+ building ABI 6.
+ + add symbols _nc_Default_Field, _nc_Default_Form, _nc_has_mouse to
+ map-files, but marked as deprecated so that they can easily be
+ suppressed from ABI 6 builds (Debian #788610).
+ + comment-out "screen.xterm" entry, and inherit screen.xterm-256color
+ from xterm-new (report by Richard Birkett) -TD
+ + modify read_entry.c to set the error-return to -1 if no terminal
+ databases were found, as documented for setupterm.
+ + add test_setupterm.c to demonstrate normal/error returns from the
+ setupterm and restartterm functions.
+ + amend cleanup change from 20110813 which removed redundant definition
+ of ret_error, etc., from tinfo_driver.c, to account for the fact that
+ it should return a bool rather than int (report/analysis by Johannes
+ Schindelin).
+
20150613
+ fix overflow warning for OSX with lib_baudrate.c (cf: 20010630).
+ modify script used to generate map/sym files to mark 5.9.20150530 as
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).
- + updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, adding
- checks for -Wextra, -Wignored-qualifiers and -Wlogical-op
+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, moving
checks for -Wextra and -Wdeclaration-after-statement into the macro,
and adding checks for -Wignored-qualifiers, -Wlogical-op and
