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.
+20081206
+ + move del_curterm() call from _nc_freeall() to _nc_leaks_tinfo() to
+ work for progs/clear, progs/tabs, etc.
+ + correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character
+ set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran).
+ + add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather
+ than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that
+ ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue
+ was xterm's alternate screen feature).
+ + add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a
+ zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717,
+ adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault).
+
+20081129
+ + improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control
+ character is found. The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to
+ obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not
+ passing color or video attributes.
+ + improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl() more consistently to
+ display meta-characters.
+ + turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h
+ + add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD
+ + correct use of key_name() in test/ncurses.c 'A' test, which only
+ displays wide-characters, not key-codes since 20070612 (report by
+ Ricardo Cantu).
+
+20081122
+ + change _nc_has_mouse() to has_mouse(), reflect its use in C++ and
+ Ada95 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ + document in TO-DO an issue with Cygwin's package for GNAT (report
+ by Mike Dennison).
+ + improve error-checking of command-line options in "tabs" program.
+
+20081115
+ + change several terminfo entries to make consistent use of ANSI
+ clear-all-tabs -TD
+ + add "tabs" program (prompted by Debian #502260).
+ + add configure --without-manpages option (request by Mike Frysinger).
