by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete). + This change finishes merging for menu and panel libraries, does + part of the form library. + +20090404 + + suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on + Darwin (report by Nelson Beebe). + +20090328 + + extend ansi.sys pfkey capability from kf1-kf10 to kf1-kf48, moving + function key definitions from emx-base for consistency -TD + + correct missing final 'p' in pfkey capability of ansi.sys-old (report + by Kalle Olavi Niemitalo). + + improve test/ncurses.c 'F' test, show combining characters in color. + + quiet a false report by cppcheck in c++/cursesw.cc by eliminating + a temporary variable. + + use _nc_doalloc() rather than realloc() in a few places in ncurses + library to avoid leak in out-of-memory condition (reports by William + Egert and Martin Ettl based on cppcheck tool). + + add --with-ncurses-wrap-prefix option to test/configure (discussion + with Charles Wilson). + + use ncurses*-config scripts if available for test/configure. + + update test/aclocal.m4 and test/configure + > patches by Charles Wilson: + + modify CF_WITH_LIBTOOL configure check to allow unreleased libtool + version numbers (e.g. which include alphabetic chars, as well as + digits, after the final '.'). + + improve use of -no-undefined option for libtool by setting an + intermediate variable LT_UNDEF in the configure script, and then + using that in the libtool link-commands. + + fix an missing use of NCURSES_PUBLIC_VAR() in tinfo/MKcodes.awk + from 2009031 changes. + + improve mk-1st.awk script by writing separate cases for the + LIBTOOL_LINK command, depending on which library (ncurses, ticlib, + termlib) is to be linked. + + modify configure.in to allow broken-linker configurations, not just + enable-reentrant, to set public wrap prefix. + +20090321 + + add TICS_LIST and SHLIB_LIST to allow libtool 2.2.6 on Cygwin to + build with tic and term libraries (patch by Charles Wilson). + + add -no-undefined option to libtool for Cygwin, MinGW, U/Win and AIX + (report by Charles Wilson). + + fix definition for c++/Makefile.in's SHLIB_LIST, which did not list + the form, menu or panel libraries (patch by Charles Wilson). + + add configure option --with-wrap-prefix to allow setting the prefix + for functions used to wrap global variables to something other than + "_nc_" (discussion with Charles Wilson). + +20090314 + + modify scripts to generate ncurses*-config and pc-files to add + dependency for tinfo library (patch by Charles Wilson). + + improve comparison of program-names when checking for linked flavors + such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix (reports by Charles + Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing + list). + + suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on + Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static libc, and + does not switch back to dynamic mode before finishing the libraries + (reports by Joel Bertrand, Alan Pae). + + minor fixes to Intel compiler warning checks in configure script. + + modify _nc_leaks_tinfo() so leak-checking in test/railroad.c works. + + modify set_curterm() to make broken-linker configuration work with + changes from 20090228 (report by Charles Wilson). + +20090228 + + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete). + + modify declaration of
