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).
