Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions; it is not possible to add this information. +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). + +20170701 + + modify update_getenv() in db_iterator.c to ensure that environment + variables which are not initially set will be checked later if an + application happens to set them (patch by Guillaume Maudoux). + + remove initialization-check for calling napms() in the term-driver + configuration; none is needed. + + add help-screen to test/test_getstr.c and test/test_get_wstr.c + + improve compatibility between different configurations of new_prescr, + fixing a case with threaded code and term-driver where c++/demo did + not work (cf: 20160213). + + the fixes for Redhat #1464685 obscured a problem subsequently + reported in Redhat #1464687; the given test-case was no longer + reproducible. Testing without the fixes for the earlier reports + showed a problem with buffer overflow in dump_entry.c, which is + addressed by reducing the use of a fixed-size buffer. + + add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input + (Redhat #1464684, #1464685, #1464686, #1464691). + + alloc_entry.c, add a check for a null-pointer. + + parse_entry.c, add several checks for valid pointers as well as + one check to ensure that a single character on a line is not + treated as the 2-character termcap short-name. + + fix a memory leak in delscreen() (report by Bai Junq). + + improve tracemunch, showing thread identifiers as names. + + fix a use-after-free in NCursesMenu::~NCursesMenu() + + further amend incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes + (report by Allen Hewes). + +20170624 + + modify c++/etip.h.in to accommodate deprecation of throw() and + throws() in c++17 (prompted by patch by Romain Geissler). + + remove some incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes + (report by Allen Hewes). + + add test-programs for termattrs and term_attrs. + + modify _nc_outc_wrapper to use the standard output if the screen was + not initialized, rather than returning an error. + + improve checks for low-level terminfo functions when the terminal + has not been initialized (Redhat #1345963). + + modify make_hash to allow building with address-sanitizer, + assuming that --disable-leaks is configured. + + amend changes for number_format() in 20170506 to avoid undefined + behavior when shifting (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta). + 20170617 + fill in some places where TERMTYPE2 vs TERMTYPE was not used (report by Allen Hewes).
