Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions; it is not possible to add this information. +20170429 + + corrected a case where $with_gpm was set to "maybe" after CF_WITH_GPM, + overlooked in 20160528 fixes (report by Alexandre Bury). + + improve a couple of test-program's help-messages. + + corrected loop in rain.c from 20170415 changes. + + modify winnstr and winchnstr to return error if the output pointer is + null, as well as adding a null pointer check of the window pointer + for better compatibility with other implementations. + + improve discussion of NetBSD curses in scr_dump.5 + + modify LIMIT_TYPED macro in new_pair.h to avoid changing sign of the + value to be limited (reports by Darby Payne, Rob Boudreau). + + update config.guess, config.sub from + http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git + +20170422 + + build-fix for termcap-configuration (report by Chi-Hsuan Yen). + + improve terminfo manual page discussion of control- and graphics- + characters. + + remove tic warning about "^?" in string capabilities, which was + marked as an extension (cf: 20000610, 20110820); however all Unix + implementations support this and X/Open Curses does not address it. + On the other hand, termcap never did support this feature. + + correct missing comma-separator between string capabilities in + icl6402 and m2-nam -TD + + restore rmir/smir in ansi+idc to better match original ansiterm+idc, + add alias ansiterm (report by Robert King). + + amend an old check for ambiguous use of "ma" in terminfo versus + a termcap use, if the capability is cancelled to treat it as number. + + correct a case in _nc_captoinfo() which read "%%" and emitted "%". + + modify sscanf calls in _nc_infotocap() for patterns "%{number}%+%c" + and "%'char'%+%c" to check that the final character is really 'c', + avoiding a case in icl6404 which cannot be converted to termcap. + + in _nc_infotocap(), add a check to ensure that terminfo "^?" is not + written to termcap, because the BSDs did not implement that. + + in _nc_tic_expand() and _nc_infotocap(), improve string-length check + when deciding whether to use "^X" or "\xxx" format for control + characters, to make the output of tic/infocmp more predictable. + + limit termcap "%d" width to 2 digits on input, and use "%2" in + preference to "%02" on output. + + correct terminfo/termcap conversion of "%02" and "%03" into "%2" and + "%3"; the result repeated the last character. + + add man/scr_dump.5 to document screen-dump format. + +20170415 + + modify several test programs to use new popup_msgs, adapted from + help-screen used in test/edit_field.c + + drop two symbols obsoleted in 2004: _nc_check_termtype, and + _nc_resolve_uses + + fix some old copyright dates (cf: 20031025). + + build-fixes for test/savescreen.c to work with AIX and HPUX. + + minor fix to configure script, adding a backslash/continuation. + + extend TERMINAL structure for ABI 6 to store numbers internally as + integers rather than short, by adding new data for this purpose. + + more fixes for minor memory-leaks in test-programs. + +20170408 + + change logic in wins_nwstr() to avoid addressing data past the output + of mbstowcs(). + + correct a call to setcchar() in Data_Entry_w() from 20131207 changes. + + fix minor memory-leaks in test-programs. + + further improve ifdef in term_entry.h for internal definitions not + used by tack. + +20170401 + + minor fixes for vt100+4bsd, e.g., delay in sgr for consistency -TD + + add smso for env230, to match sgr -TD + + remove p7/protect from sgr in fbterm -TD + + drop setf/setb from fbterm; setaf/setab are enough -TD + + make xterm-pcolor sgr consistent with other capabilities -TD + + add rmxx/smxx ECMA-48 strikeout extension to tmux and xterm-basic + (discussion with Nicholas Marriott) + + add test-programs sp_tinfo and extended_color + + modify no-leaks code for lib_cur_term.c to account for the tgetent() + cache. + + modify setupterm() to save original tty-modes so that erasechar() + works as expected. Also modify _nc_setupscreen() to avoid redundant + calls to get original tty-modes. + + modify set_curterm() to update ttytype[] data used by longname(). + + modify wattr_set() and wattr_get() to return ERR if win-parameter is + null, as documented. + + improve cast used for null-pointer checks in header macros, to + reduce compiler warnings. + + modify several functions, using the reserved "opts" parameter to pass + color- and pair-values larger than 16-bits: + + getcchar(), setcchar(), slk_attr_set(), vid_puts(), wattr_get(), + wattr_set(), wchgat(), wcolor_set(). + + Other functions call these with the corresponding altered behavior, + including chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat(), slk_color_on(), + slk_color_off(), vid_attr(). + + add new functions for manipulating color- and pair-values larger + than 16-bits. These are extended_color_content(), + extended_pair_content(), extended_slk_color(), init_extended_color(), + init_extended_pair(), and the corresponding sp-funcs. + +20170325 + + fix a memory leak in the window-list when creating multiple screens + (reports by Andres Martinelli, Debian #783486). + + reviewed calls from link_test.c, added a few more null-pointer + checks. + + add a null-pointer check in ungetmouse, in case mousemask was not + called (report by "Kau"). + + updated curs_sp_funcs.3x for new functions. + +20170318 + + change TERMINAL structure in term.h to make it opaque. Some + applications misuse its members, e.g., directly modifying it + rather than using def_prog_mode(). + + modify utility headers such as tic.h to make it clearer which are + externals that are used by tack. + + improve curs_slk.3x in particular its discussion of portability. + + fix cut/paste in legacy_encoding.3x + + add prototype for find_pair() to new_pair.3x (report by Branden + Robinson). + + fix a couple of broken links in generated man-html documentation. + + regenerate man-html documentation. + +20170311 + + modify vt100 rs2 string to reset vt52 mode and scrolling regions + (report/analysis by Robert King) -TD + + add vt100+4bsd building block, use that for older terminals rather + than "vt100" which is now mostly used as a building block for + terminal emulators -TD + + correct a few spelling errors in terminfo.src comments -TD + + add fbterm -TD + + fix a typo in ncurses.c test_attr legend (patch by Petr Vanek). + + changed internal colorpair_t to a struct, eliminating an internal + 8-bit limit on colors + + add ncurses/new_pair.h + + add ncurses/base/new_pair.c with alloc_pair(), find_pair() and + free_pair() functions + + add test/demo_new_pair.c + +20170304 + + improve terminfo manual description of terminfo syntax. + + clarify the use of wint_t vs wchar_t in curs_get_wstr.3x + + improve description of endwin() in manual. + + modify setcchar() and getcchar() to treat negative color-pair as an + error. + + fix a typo in include/hashed_db.h (Andre Sa). + +20170225 + + fixes for CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS (report by Ross Burton). + +20170218 + + fix several formatting issues with manual pages. + + correct read of terminfo entry in which all strings are absent or + explicitly cancelled. Before this fix, the result was that all were + treated as only absent. + + modify infocmp to suppress mixture of absent/cancelled capabilities + that would only show as "NULL, NULL", unless the -q option is used, + e.g., to show "-, @" or "@, -". + 20170212 + build-fixes for PGI compilers (report by Adam J. Stewart) + accept whitespace in sed expression for generating expanded.c
