Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions; it is not possible to add this information. +20150719 + + correct an old logic error for %A and %O in tparm (report by "zreed"). + + improve documentation for signal handlers by adding section in the + curs_initscr.3x page. + + modify logic in make_keys.c to not assume anything about the size + of strnames and strfnames variables, since those may be functions + in the thread- or broken-linker configurations (problem found by + Coverity). + + modify test/configure script to check for pthreads configuration, + e.g., ncursestw library. + +20150711 + + modify scripts to build/use test-packages for the pthreads + configuration of ncurses6. + + add references to ttytype and termcap symbols in demo_terminfo.c and + demo_termcap.c to ensure that when building ncursest.map, etc., that + the corresponding names such as _nc_ttytype are added to the list of + versioned symbols (report by Werner Fink) + + fix regression from 20150704 (report/patch by Werner Fink). + +20150704 + + fix a few problems reported by Coverity. + + fix comparison against "/usr/include" in misc/gen-pkgconfig.in + (report by Daiki Ueno, Debian #790548, cf: 20141213). + +20150627 + + modify configure script to remove deprecated ABI 5 symbols when + building ABI 6. + + add symbols _nc_Default_Field, _nc_Default_Form, _nc_has_mouse to + map-files, but marked as deprecated so that they can easily be + suppressed from ABI 6 builds (Debian #788610). + + comment-out "screen.xterm" entry, and inherit screen.xterm-256color + from xterm-new (report by Richard Birkett) -TD + + modify read_entry.c to set the error-return to -1 if no terminal + databases were found, as documented for setupterm. + + add test_setupterm.c to demonstrate normal/error returns from the + setupterm and restartterm functions. + + amend cleanup change from 20110813 which removed redundant definition + of ret_error, etc., from tinfo_driver.c, to account for the fact that + it should return a bool rather than int (report/analysis by Johannes + Schindelin). + +20150613 + + fix overflow warning for OSX with lib_baudrate.c (cf: 20010630). + + modify script used to generate map/sym files to mark 5.9.20150530 as + the last "5.9" version, and regenerated the files. That makes the + files not use ".current" for the post-5.9 symbols. This also + corrects the label for _nc_sigprocmask used in when weak symbols are + configured for the ncursest/ncursestw libraries (prompted by + discussion with Sven Joachim). + + fix typo in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim). + +20150606 pre-release + + make ABI 6 the default by updates to dist.mk and VERSION, with the + intention that the existing ABI 5 should build as before using the + "--with-abi-version=5" option. + + regenerate ada- and man-html documentation. + + minor fixes to color- and util-manpages. + + fix a regression in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, to handle special case of + Cygwin, which uses the broken-linker feature. + + amend fix for CF_NCURSES_CONFIG used in test/configure to assume that + ncurses package scripts work when present for cross-compiling, as the + lessor of two evils (cf: 20150530). + + add check in configure script to disallow conflicting options + "--with-termlib" and "--enable-term-driver". + + move defaults for "--disable-lp64" and "--with-versioned-syms" into + CF_ABI_DEFAULTS macro. + +20150530 + + change private type for Event_Mask in Ada95 binding to work when + mmask_t is set to 32-bits. + + remove spurious "%;" from st entry (report by Daniel Pitts) -TD + + add vte-2014, update vte to use that -TD + + modify tic and infocmp to "move" a diagnostic for tparm strings that + have a syntax error to tic's "-c" option (report by Daniel Pitts). + + fix two problems with configure script macros (Debian #786436, + cf: 20150425, cf: 20100529). + +20150523 + + add 'P' menu item to test/ncurses.c, to show pad in color. + + improve discussion in curs_color.3x about color rendering (prompted + by comment on Stack Overflow forum): + + remove screen-bce.mlterm, since mlterm does not do "bce" -TD + + add several screen.XXX entries to support the respective variations + for 256 colors -TD + + add putty+fnkeys* building-block entries -TD + + add smkx/rmkx to capabilities analyzed with infocmp "-i" option. + +20150516 + + amend change to ".pc" files to only use the extra loader flags which + may have rpath options (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20150502). + + change versioning for dpkg's in test-packages for Ada95 and + ncurses-examples for consistency with Debian, to work with package + updates. + + regenerate html manpages. + + clarify handling of carriage return in waddch manual page; it was + discussed only in the portability section (prompted by comment on + Stack Overflow forum): + 20150509 + add test-packages for cross-compiling ncurses-examples using the MinGW test-packages. These are only the Debian packages; RPM later.
