Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions; it is not possible to add this information. +20080531 + + modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window + parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still + use SP internally. + + factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter. + + add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a + particular SCREEN rather than the global SP. + + add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a + particular SCREEN rather than the global SP. + + add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate + its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN. + + add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in + preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer. + +20080524 + + modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the + screen which must be updated. + + wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and + always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm(). + + restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch + Miroslav Lichvar) + +20080517 + + modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and + --enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from + the ncurses ABI 5. + + corrected manpage description of setcchar() (discussion with + Emanuele Giaquinta). + + fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line + (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar). + +20080503 + + modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix + overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD + + modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the + global SP. + + simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and + each_ripoff(). + +20080426 + + continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate + multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens. + + fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran). + +20080419 + + add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD + + modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from + being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings. + + improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout. + +20080412 + + change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm. + + add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their + window parameters. + + add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN + pointer. + + finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage. + +20080405 + + begin table in curs_thread.3x manpage describing the scope of data + used by each function (or symbol) for threading analysis. + + add null-pointer checks to setsyx() and getsyx() (prompted by + discussion by Martin v. Lowis and Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on + python-dev2 mailing list). + +20080329 + + add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen(). + + move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which + are not associated with a particular screen. + + change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than + stdscr to the callback function. + + force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this, + e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc + (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner). + + override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on + platforms such as AIX where libtool may use a different suffix for + the object files than ".o" (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner). + + add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX + thread library. + +20080322 + + fill in extended-color pair two more places in wbkgrndset() and + waddch_nosync() (prompted by Sedeno's patch). + + fill in extended-color pair in _nc_build_wch() to make colors work + for wide-characters using extended-colors (patch by Alejandro R + Sedeno). + + add x/X toggles to ncurses.c C color test to test/demo + wide-characters with extended-colors. + + add a/A toggles to ncurses.c c/C color tests. + + modify test/ditto.c to use use_screen(). + + finish modifying test/rain.c to demonstrate threads. + +20080308 + + start modifying test/rain.c for threading demo. + + modify test/ncurses.c to make 'f' test accept the f/F/b/F/ toggles + that the 'F' accepts. + + modify test/worm.c to show trail in reverse-video when other threads + are working concurrently. + + fix a deadlock from improper nesting of mutexes for windowlist and + window. + +20080301 + + fixes from 20080223 resolved issue with mutexes; change to use + recursive mutexes to fix memory leak in delwin() as called from + _nc_free_and_exit(). + +20080223 + + fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex + lock/unlock when termlib was built separately. + +20080216 + + avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often + is implemented to suspend the entire process. + +20080209 + + update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for + comparisons. This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open curses + that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping. None of the Unix-branded + implementations do this, as noted in manpage (cf: 20040228). + +20080203 + + modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same + for both narrow/wide models. It had been set only for wide model, + but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model. + + improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by + using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append + further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A + Chernov). + + modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint(). + If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~" + sequence. + +20080126 + + improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE + handling). Now it hangs in napms(), no matter whether nanosleep() + or poll() or select() are used on Linux. + +20080119 + + fixes to build with --disable-ext-funcs + + add manpage for use_window and use_screen. + + add set_tabsize() and set_escdelay() functions. + 20080112 + remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c + remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's
