Normally tack is no longer built in-tree, but + a few packagers combine it during the build. If term_entry.h is + installed, there is no advantage to in-tree builds. + + adjust configure-script to define HAVE_CURSES_DATA_BOOLNAMES symbol + needed for tack 1.08 when built in-tree. Rather than relying upon + internal "_nc_" functions, tack now uses the boolean, number and + string capability name-arrays provided by ncurses and SVr4 Unix + curses. It still uses term_entry.h for the definitions of the + extended capability arrays. + + add an overlooked null-pointer check in mvcur changes from 20170722 + +20170722 + + improve test-packages for ncurses-examples and AdaCurses for lintian + + modify logic for endwin-state to be able to detect the case where + the screen was never initialized, using that to trigger a flush of + ncurses' buffer for mvcur, e.g., in test/dots_mvcur.c for the + term-driver configuration. + + add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to a few other internal header + files to allow each to be compiled separately. + + add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to tic's header-files; any program + using tic-library will have to supply this file. Legacy tack + versions supply this file; ongoing tack development has dropped the + dependency upon tic-library and new releases will not be affected. + +20170715 + + modify command-line parameters for "convert" used in picsmap to work + with ImageMagick 6.8 and newer. + + fix build-problem with tack and ABI-5 (Debian #868328). + + repair termcap-format from tic/infocmp broken in 20170701 fixes + (Debian #868266). + + reformat terminfo.src with 20170513 updates. + + improve test-packages to address lintian warnings. + 20170708 + add a note to tic manual page about -W versus -f options. + correct a limit-check in fixes from 20170701 (report by Sven Joachim).
