This requires a new extension option + O_MOUSE_MENU to tell the menu driver to put mouse events which do not + apply to the active menu back into the queue so that the application + can handle the event. + +20160319 + + improve description of tgoto parameters (report by Steffen Nurpmeso). + + amend workaround for Solaris line-drawing to restore a special case + that maps Unicode line-drawing characters into the acsc string for + non-Unicode locales (Debian #816888). + +20160312 + + modified test/filter.c to illustrate an alternative to getnstr, that + polls for input while updating a clock on the right margin as well + as responding to window size-changes. + +20160305 + + omit a redefinition of "inline" when traces are enabled, since this + does not work with gcc 5.3.x MinGW cross-compiling (cf: 20150912). + +20160220 + + modify test/configure script to check for pthread dependency of + ncursest or ncursestw library when building ncurses examples, e.g., + in case weak symbols are used. + + modify configure macro for shared-library rules to use -Wl,-rpath + rather than -rpath to work around a bug in scons (FreeBSD #178732, + cf: 20061021). + + double-width multibyte characters were not counted properly in + winsnstr and wins_nwstr (report/example by Eric Pruitt). + + update config.guess, config.sub from + http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git + +20160213 + + amend fix for _nc_ripoffline from 20091031 to make test/ditto.c work + in threaded configuration. + + move _nc_tracebits, _tracedump and _tracemouse to curses.priv.h, + since they are not part of the suggested ABI6. + +20160206 + + define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN for MinGW port, making builds faster. + + modify test/ditto.c to allow $XTERM_PROG environment variable to + override "xterm" as the name of the program to run in the threaded + configuration. + +20160130 + + improve formatting of man/curs_refresh.3x and man/tset.1 manpages + + regenerate HTML manpages using newer man2html to eliminate some + unwanted blank lines. + +20160123 + + ifdef'd header-file definition of mouse_trafo() with NCURSES_NOMACROS + (report by Corey Minyard). + + fix some strict compiler-warnings in traces. + +20160116 + + tidy up comments about hardcoded 256color palette (report by + Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD + + add putty-noapp entry, and amend putty entry to use application mode + for better consistency with xterm (report by Leonardo Brondani + Schenkel) -TD + + modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to trace wide-characters + as a whole rather than their multibyte equivalents. + + minor fix in wadd_wchnstr() to ensure that each cell has nonzero + width. + + move PUTC_INIT calls next to wcrtomb calls, to avoid carry-over of + error status when processing Unicode values which are not mapped. + +20160102 + + modify ncurses c/C color test-screens to take advantage of wide + screens, reducing the number of lines used for 88- and 256-colors. + + minor refinement to check versus ncv to ignore two parameters of + SGR 38 and 48 when those come from color-capabilities. + 20151226 + add check in tic for use of bold, etc., video attributes in the color capabilities, accounting whether the feature is listed in ncv.
