    depending   on  the  platform.  These  are  the  highlights  from  the

-   change-log since ncurses 5.7 release.
-
-Interface changes
-
-     * turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h.
-     * change  _nc_has_mouse  to  has_mouse,  reflect  its use in C++ and
-       Ada95.
-     * add is_pad and is_subwin functions for opaque access to the WINDOW
-       structure.
-     * add tiparm, based on review of X/Open Curses Issue 7.
-
-New features and improvements
-
-  Library Improvements
-
-     * add  a terminal driver for Windows console, which supports a MinGW
-       port to Windows.
-     * add  extended  functions  which  specify  the  SCREEN  pointer for
-       several curses functions which use the global SP.
-     * improve  the  NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS feature by adding a check for an
-       extended terminfo capability U8.
-     * improve  performance of tigetstr, etc., by using hashing code from
-       tic.
-     * add  WACS_xxx  definitions  to  wide-character  configuration  for
-       thick- and double-lines.
-     * modify  init_pair  to  allow  caller  to  create extra color pairs
-       beyond the color_pairs limit, which use default colors.
-
-  Improvements to Programs
-
-     * add tabs program.
-     * modify  tic's  -I/-C  dump to reformat acsc strings into canonical
-       form (sorted, unique mapping).
-     * add  checks  in tic for inconsistent cursor-movement controls, and
-       for inconsistent printer-controls.
-     * add  special  case  to  _nc_infotocap (used by tic and infocmp) to
-       recognize   the   setaf/setab   strings  from  xterm+256color  and
-       xterm+88color,  and  provide  a  reduced  version which works with
-       termcap.
-
-  Terminal Database
-
-     * added entries:
-          + bterm terminfo entry, based on bogl 0.1.18
-          + cons25-debian entry
-          + eterm-color entry
-          + linux-16color
-          + mlterm+256color entry, for mlterm 3.0.0
-          + several screen-bce.xxx entries
-          + screen.Eterm terminfo entry
-          + vwmterm entry
-          + xterm-utf8 entry as a demo of the U8 feature
-     * updated/improved entries:
-          + use extended capabilities:
-               o add  U8 feature to denote entries for terminal emulators
-                 which  do  not support VT100 SI/SO when processing UTF-8
-                 encoding
-               o add  XT capability to entries for terminals that support
-                 both  xterm-style  mouse- and title-controls, for screen
-                 which special-cases TERM beginning with xterm or rxvt
-          + improvements based on new checks in tic:
-          +
-               o fill  in  no-parameter  forms of cursor-movement where a
-                 parameterized form is available
-               o fill  in  missing  cursor controls where the form of the
-                 controls is ANSI
-               o add parameterized cursor-controls to linux-basic
-               o modify  nsterm,  xnuppc  and  tek4115  to  make sgr/sgr0
-                 consistent
-               o change  several  terminfo entries to make consistent use
-                 of ANSI clear-all-tabs
-          + extend  ansi.sys  pfkey capability from kf1-kf10 to kf1-kf48,
-            moving   function   key   definitions   from   emx-base   for
-            consistency.
-          + correct   missing   final   'p'   in   pfkey   capability  of
-            ansi.sys-old.
-          + rename   atari   and  st52  terminfo  entries  to  atari-old,
-            st52-old, use newer entries from FreeMiNT.
-          + repurpose  gnome  terminfo  entries  as  vte, retaining gnome
-            variants  for  compatibility, but generally deprecating those
-            since  the  VTE library is what actually defines the behavior
-            of "gnome", etc., since 2003.
-          + improve  interix  smso  terminfo  capability by using reverse
-            rather than bold.
-          + correct  initc  capability  of  linux-c-nc end-of-range, make
-            similar change for dg+ccc and dgunix+ccc.
-          + update minix terminfo entry.
-          + updated nsterm* entries.
-          + remove unnecessary kcan assignment to ^C from putty.
-          + suppress  ncv  in  screen  and konsole-base entries, allowing
-            underline.
-          + change ncv and op capabilities in sun-color terminfo entry to
-            match Sun's entry for this.
-          + fix typo in rmso for tek4106 entry.
-          + improve acsc string for vt52, show arrow keys.
-          + add  hard-reset  for  rs2 to wsvt25 to help ensure that reset
-            ends the alternate character set.
-          + add ccc and initc capabilities to xterm-16color.
-
-Major bug fixes
-
-     * ncurses library
-          + wide character support
-               o modify length returned by getcchar to count the trailing
-                 null which is documented in X/Open.
-               o fix  an  infinite  recursion when adding a legacy-coding
-                 8-bit value using insch.
-               o improve  a  workaround in adding wide-characters, when a
-                 control  character  is found. The library uses unctrl to
-                 obtain a printable version of the control character, but
-                 was not passing color or video attributes.
-               o modify  waddch_literal,  updating  line-pointer  after a
-                 multicolumn character is found to not fit on the current
-                 row,  and  wrapping  is done. Since the line-pointer was
-                 not  updated,  the  wrapped  multicolumn  character  was
-                 written to the beginning of the current row.
-               o fixes in wins_nwstr and related functions to ensure that
-                 special characters, i.e., control characters are handled
-                 properly with the wide-character configuration.
-               o correct  internal  _nc_insert_ch  to  use _nc_insert_wch
-                 when  inserting  wide  characters,  since  the  wins_wch
-                 function   that  it  used  did  not  update  the  cursor
-                 position.
-          + mouse
-               o add  check  if Gpm_Open returns a -2, e.g., for "xterm".
-                 This  is normally suppressed but can be overridden using
-                 $NCURSES_GPM_TERMS.  Ensure  that Gpm_Close is called in
-                 this case.
-               o add  check  in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM
-                 returns  a  zero,  indicating  that  the  connection  is
-                 closed.
-               o modify  getmouse  to  act  as its documentation implied,
-                 returning  on  each  call the preceding event until none
-                 are  left.  When  no  more events remain, it will return
-                 ERR.
-          + miscellaneous
-               o improve  handling  of color-pairs embedded in attributes
-                 for the extended-colors configuration.
-               o add check for failure to open hashed-database needed for
-                 db4.6.
-               o modify  use of $CC environment variable which is defined
-                 by X/Open as a curses feature, to ignore it if it is not
-                 a single character.
-               o modify  declaration  of  cur_term  when broken-linker is
-                 used, but enable-reentrant is not, to match pre-5.7.
-               o correct limit-checks in derwin.
-               o remove  old  check  in mvderwin which prevented moving a
-                 derived  window  whose  origin happened to coincide with
-                 its parent's origin.
-               o correct  limit-checks  in newwin, to ensure that windows
-                 have nonzero size.
-               o modify  set_curterm  to make broken-linker configuration
-                 work with changes from 20090228.
-               o modify  wgetch to ensure it checks SIGWINCH when it gets
-                 an error in non-blocking mode.
-               o correct   limit-check   in   wredrawln,  accounting  for
-                 begy/begx values.
-               o fix   a   null-pointer   check   in  _nc_format_slks  in
-                 lib_slk.c, from 20070704 changes.
-               o correct  translation  of  "^"  in _nc_infotocap, used to
-                 transform terminfo to termcap strings.
-               o modify  _nc_wgetch  to check for a -1 in the fifo, e.g.,
-                 after  a  SIGWINCH,  and  discard  that  value, to avoid
-                 confusing application.
-     * other libraries
-          + correct   transfer  of  multicolumn  characters  in  multirow
-            field_buffer,  which  stopped at the end of the first row due
-            to filling of unused entries in a cchar_t array with nulls.
-          + correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character
-            set_field_buffer, broken in 20081018 changes.
-          + correct  layout  of  working  window  used to extract data in
-            wide-character configured by set_field_buffer
-
-Portability
-
-     * configure script:
-          + new options:
-
-              --disable-libtool-version
-                      use  the  "-version-number" feature which was added
-                      in  libtool  1.5.  The default value for the option
-                      uses  the  newer  feature,  which  makes  libraries
-                      generated   using   libtool   compatible  with  the
-                      standard builds of ncurses.
-
-              --disable-rpath-hack
-                      disable  a  feature  which  adds  rpath options for
-                      libraries in unusual places.
-
-              --enable-interop
-                      integrate  changes  for  generic/interop support to
-                      form-library.
-
-              --enable-pc-files
-                      generate ".pc" files for each of the libraries, and
-                      install them in pkg-config's library directory.
-
-              --enable-pthreads-eintr
-                      control  whether to allow EINTR to interrupt a read
-                      operation  in  wgetch.  This  applies  only  to the
-                      pthread configuration
-
-              --enable-sp-funcs
-                      compile-in  support  for  extended  functions which
-                      accept  a  SCREEN  pointer,  reducing  the need for
-                      juggling  the  global  SP  value  with set_term and
-                      delscreen.
-
-              --enable-term-driver
-                      compile  with  terminal-driver. That is used in the
-                      MinGW  port,  and (being somewhat more complicated)
-                      is  an experimental alternative to the conventional
-                      termlib   internals.  Currently,  it  requires  the
-                      sp-funcs feature to be enabled.
-
-              --with-ncurses-wrap-prefix
-                      allows  setting  the  prefix  for functions used to
-                      wrap  global  variables  to  something  other  than
-                      "_nc_".
-
-              --with-pkg-config=[DIR]
-                      check  for  pkg-config,  optionally  specifying its
-                      path.
-
-              --without-manpages
-                      tells  the configure script to suppress the install
-                      of ncurses' manpages.
-
-              --without-tests
-                      suppress building test programs.
-
-          + improved options:
-               o correct logic for --with-database, which was coded as an
-                 enable-type switch.
-               o omit    the   opaque-functions   from   lib_gen.o   when
-                 --disable-ext-funcs is used.
-     * packaging:
-          + *-config scripts:
-               o modify  adacurses-config to look for ".ali" files in the
-                 adalib directory.
-               o correct  install  for  the  Ada95  tree,  which  omitted
-                 libAdaCurses.a used in adacurses-config.
-               o change   install   for   adacurses-config   to   provide
-                 additional   flavors   such  as  adacursesw-config,  for
-                 ncursesw.
-               o modify  scripts to generate ncurses*-config and pc-files
-                 to add dependency for tinfo library.
-               o use    ncurses*-config    scripts   if   available   for
-                 test/configure.
-               o correct name for termlib in ncurses*-config, e.g., if it
-                 is renamed to provide a single file for ncurses/ncursesw
-                 libraries.
-               o generate manpages for the *-config scripts, adapted from
-                 help2man.
-               o modify   install-rule  for  manpages  so  that  *-config
-                 manpages will install when building with --srcdir.
-               o build-fixes   for   OpenSolaris   aka  Solaris  11,  for
-                 wide-character   configuration  as  well  as  for  rpath
-                 feature in *-config scripts.
-               o use  $includedir  symbol  in misc/ncurses-config.in, add
-                 --includedir option.
-               o improve install-rules for pc-files.
-               o create the pkg-config library directory if needed.
-               o fix  typo  "==" where "=" is needed in ncurses-config.in
-                 and gen-pkgconfig.in files.
-               o modify  gen-pkgconfig.in  to  eliminate  a dependency on
-                 rpath  when  deciding  whether  to  add  $LIBS to --libs
-                 output;  that  should be shown for the ncurses and tinfo
-                 libraries without taking rpath into account.
-               o modify  handling  of  $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to use only the
-                 first item in a possibly colon-separated list.
-          + other packaging issues
-               o add make-tar.sh scripts to Ada95 and test subdirectories
-                 to help with making those separately distributable.
-               o add  Ada95/configure  script, to use in tar-file created
-                 by Ada95/make-tar.sh.
-               o remove   tar-copy.sh   and   related  configure/Makefile
-                 chunks,  since  the Ada95 binding is now installed using
-                 rules in Ada95/src.
-     * cross-compiling:
-          + improve  configure  checks  for  location  of tic and infocmp
-            programs  used  for  installing  database  and for generating
-            fallback data, e.g., for cross-compiling.
-          + modify  #define's  for  build-compiler  to  suppress  cchar_t
-            symbol  from  compile  of  make_hash and make_keys, improving
-            cross-compilation of ncursesw.
-          + simplify  include-dependencies of make_hash and make_keys, to
-            reduce the need for setting BUILD_CPPFLAGS in cross-compiling
-            when the build- and target-machines differ.
-          + correct cross-compiling configure check for CF_MKSTEMP macro,
-            by adding a check cache variable set by AC_CHECK_FUNC.
-     * library dependencies:
-          + revise  wadd_wch  and  wecho_wchar to eliminate dependency on
-            unctrl.
-          + adjust  configure  script so that "t" is not added to library
-            suffix  when  weak-symbols  are  used,  allowing  the pthread
-            configuration to more closely match the non-thread naming.
-     * building the Ada95 tree:
-          + changes to use gnatmake project files in the Ada95 tree.
-          + add/use   configure  check  to  turn  on  project  rules  for
-            Ada95/src.
-          + old   gnatmake   (3.15)  does  not  produce  libraries  using
-            project-file;  work  around  by  adding  script  to  generate
-            alternate makefile.
-          + add  configure --with-ada-sharedlib option, for the test_make
-            rule.
-          + move  Ada95-related  logic  into aclocal.m4, since additional
-            checks  will be needed to distinguish old/new implementations
-            of gnat.
-          + add test_make / test_clean / test_install rules in Ada95/src
-          + change    install-path    for    adainclude    directory   to
-            /usr/share/ada (was /usr/lib/ada).
-     * other configure/build issues:
-          + make CCHARW_MAX value configurable, noting that changing this
-            would   change   the   size   of   cchar_t,   and   would  be
-            ABI-incompatible.
-          + improve  comparison of program-names when checking for linked
-            flavors such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix.
-          + drop mkdirs.sh, use "mkdir -p".
-          + drop  misc/ncu-indent  and misc/jpf-indent; they are provided
-            by an external package [3]cindent.
-          + change  makefiles  to  use  $ARFLAGS  rather  than  $AR_OPTS,
-            provide  a  configure check to detect whether a "-" is needed
-            before "ar" options.
-          + modify   CF_DISABLE_LEAKS   configure   macro   so  that  the
-            --enable-leaks option is not the same as --disable-leaks.
-          + improve    configure   script   macros   CF_HEADER_PATH   and
-            CF_LIBRARY_PATH  by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS
-            values to the search-lists.
-          + improve  configure  macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GCC_WARNINGS
-            to  work  with  gcc  4.x's  c89  alias,  which  gives warning
-            messages  for  cases  where  older  versions would produce an
-            error.
-          + 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  symbolic  links  in makefiles by using "-f"
-            option  if it is supported, to eliminate temporary removal of
-            the target
-          + add  a  configure-time  check  to  pick  a suitable value for
-            CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris.
-          + add  -shared option to MK_SHARED_LIB when -Bsharable is used,
-            for  *BSD's,  without which "main" might be one of the shared
-            library's dependencies.
-          + modify  configure  script  to allow building shared libraries
-            with gcc on AIX 5 or 6.
-          + 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.
-          + suppress  configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for
-            gcc on Darwin.
-          + modify  misc/run_tic.in  to  create parent directory, in case
-            this is a new install of hashed database.
-          + modify  configure  check for tic program, used for fallbacks,
-            to  a  warning  if  not  found.  This makes it simpler to use
-            additonal  scripts  to bootstrap the fallbacks code using tic
-            from the build tree.
-     * test programs:
-          + add test/demo_terminfo, for comparison with demo_termcap.
-          + improve test/ncurses.c 'F' test, show combining characters in
-            color.
-          + fix logic for 'V' in test/ncurses.c tests f/F.
-          + improve  test/ncurses.c 'a test to put mouse droppings in the
-            proper window.
-          + modify  ncurses  'F'  test  to  demo wborder_set with colored
-            lines.
-          + modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder with colored lines.
-          + improve   test/ncurses.c   'a'   test,   using   unctrl  more
-            consistently to display meta-characters.
-          + correct  use  of  key_name  in test/ncurses.c 'A' test, which
-            only displays wide-characters, not key-codes since 20070612.
-          + add  test/clip_printw.c  to  illustrate  how  to  use  printw
-            without wrapping.
-          + modify  test-programs,  e.g,.  test/view.c, to address subtle
-            differences   between  Tru64/Solaris  and  HPUX/AIX  getcchar
-            return values.
-          + add  some  test programs (and make these use the same special
-            keys  by  sharing  linedata.h  functions): test/test_addstr.c
-            test/test_addwstr.c                      test/test_addchstr.c
-            test/test_add_wchstr.c
-          + add test/xterm-256color.dat
-          + modify  test  programs  to allow them to be built with NetBSD
-            curses.
-          + fixes for test programs to build/work on HPUX and AIX, etc.
+   change-log since ncurses 5.8 release.
+
+   This  is  a  bug-fix  release,  correcting  a  small  number of urgent
+   problems in the ncurses library from the 5.8 release.
+
+   It also improves the Ada95 binding:
+     * fixes  a  longstanding  portability  problem  with  its use of the
+       [3]set_field_type    function.    Because   that   function   uses
+       variable-length  argument  lists, its interface with gnat does not
+       work with certain platforms.
+     * improves  configurability and portability, particularly when built
+       separately  from the main ncurses tree. The 5.8 release introduced
+       scripts  which  can be used to construct separate tarballs for the
+       Ada95 and ncurses examples.
+       Those  were a proof of concept. For the 5.9 release, those scripts
+       are  augmented  with  rpm-  and  dpkg-scripts  used in test builds
+       against  a  variety of gnat- and system ncurses versions as old as
+       gnat  3.15  and  ncurses  5.4  (see  snapshots  and systems tested
+       [4]here.
+     * additional  improvements  were made for portability of the ncurses
+       examples,  adding  rpm-  and  dpkg-scripts  for  test-builds.  See
+       [5]this page for snapshots and other information.

+  the highlights from the change-log since ncurses 5.8 release.
+  <p>
+  This is a bug-fix release, correcting a small number of urgent problems
+  in the ncurses library from the 5.8 release.

-    controls, and for inconsistent printer-controls.</li>
-
-    <li>add special case to <code>_nc_infotocap</code> (used by tic

-
-          <ul>
-            <li>add <code>U8</code> feature to denote entries for
-            terminal emulators which do not support VT100 SI/SO
-            when processing UTF-8 encoding</li>
-
-            <li>add <code>XT</code> capability to entries for
-            terminals that support both xterm-style mouse- and
-            title-controls, for <code>screen</code> which

-            <code>rxvt</code></li>
-          </ul>
-        </li>
-
-        <li>improvements based on new checks in tic:</li>
-
-        <li style="list-style: none; display: inline">
-          <ul>
-            <li>fill in no-parameter forms of cursor-movement where
-            a parameterized form is available</li>
-

-            the controls is ANSI</li>
-
-            <li>add parameterized cursor-controls to

-
-        <li>repurpose <code>gnome</code> terminfo entries as
-        <code>vte</code>, retaining <code>gnome</code> variants for
-        compatibility, but generally deprecating those since the
-        VTE library is what actually defines the behavior of
-        "gnome", etc., since 2003.</li>

-  <h2>Major bug fixes</h2>
-
-  <ul>
-    <li>ncurses library
-
-      <ul>
-        <li>wide character support
-
-          <ul>
-            <li>modify length returned by <code>getcchar</code> to
-            count the trailing null which is documented in
-            X/Open.</li>
-
-            <li>fix an infinite recursion when adding a
-            legacy-coding 8-bit value using
-            <code>insch</code>.</li>
-
-            <li>improve a workaround in adding wide-characters,
-            when a control character is found. The library uses
-            <code>unctrl</code> to obtain a printable version of
-            the control character, but was not passing color or
-            video attributes.</li>
-
-            <li>modify <code>waddch_literal</code>, updating
-            line-pointer after a multicolumn character is found to
-            not fit on the current row, and wrapping is done. Since
-            the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped
-            multicolumn character was written to the beginning of
-            the current row.</li>
-
-            <li>fixes in <code>wins_nwstr</code> and related
-            functions to ensure that special characters, i.e.,
-            control characters are handled properly with the
-            wide-character configuration.</li>
-
-            <li>correct internal <code>_nc_insert_ch</code> to use
-            <code>_nc_insert_wch</code> when inserting wide
-            characters, since the <code>wins_wch</code> function
-            that it used did not update the cursor position.</li>
-          </ul>
-        </li>
-
-        <li>mouse
-
-          <ul>
-            <li>add check if <code>Gpm_Open</code> returns a -2,
-            e.g., for "xterm". This is normally suppressed but can
-            be overridden using <code>$NCURSES_GPM_TERMS</code>.
-            Ensure that <code>Gpm_Close</code> is called in this
-            case.</li>
-
-            <li>add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if
-            GPM returns a zero, indicating that the connection is
-            closed.</li>
-
-            <li>modify <code>getmouse</code> to act as its
-            documentation implied, returning on each call the
-            preceding event until none are left. When no more
-            events remain, it will return <code>ERR</code>.</li>
-          </ul>
-        </li>
-
-        <li>miscellaneous
-
-          <ul>
-            <li>improve handling of color-pairs embedded in
-            attributes for the extended-colors configuration.</li>
-
-            <li>add check for failure to open hashed-database
-            needed for db4.6.</li>
-
-            <li>modify use of <code>$CC</code> environment variable
-            which is defined by X/Open as a curses feature, to
-            ignore it if it is not a single character.</li>
-
-            <li>modify declaration of <code>cur_term</code> when
-            broken-linker is used, but enable-reentrant is not, to
-            match pre-5.7.</li>
-
-            <li>correct limit-checks in <code>derwin</code>.</li>
-
-            <li>remove old check in <code>mvderwin</code> which
-            prevented moving a derived window whose origin happened
-            to coincide with its parent's origin.</li>
-
-            <li>correct limit-checks in <code>newwin</code>, to
-            ensure that windows have nonzero size.</li>
-
-            <li>modify <code>set_curterm</code> to make
-            broken-linker configuration work with changes from
-            20090228.</li>
-
-            <li>modify <code>wgetch</code> to ensure it checks
-            <code>SIGWINCH</code> when it gets an error in
-            non-blocking mode.</li>
-
-            <li>correct limit-check in <code>wredrawln</code>,
-            accounting for <code>begy</code>/<code>begx</code>
-            values.</li>
-
-            <li>fix a null-pointer check in
-            <code>_nc_format_slks</code> in lib_slk.c, from
-            20070704 changes.</li>
-
-            <li>correct translation of "^" in
-            <code>_nc_infotocap</code>, used to transform terminfo
-            to termcap strings.</li>
-
-            <li>modify <code>_nc_wgetch</code> to check for a -1 in
-            the fifo, e.g., after a <code>SIGWINCH</code>, and
-            discard that value, to avoid confusing
-            application.</li>
-          </ul>
-        </li>
-      </ul>
-    </li>
-
-    <li>other libraries
-
-      <ul>
-        <li>correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
-        <code>field_buffer</code>, which stopped at the end of the
-        first row due to filling of unused entries in a cchar_t
-        array with nulls.</li>
-
-        <li>correct buffer-size after internal resizing of
-        wide-character <code>set_field_buffer</code>, broken in
-        20081018 changes.</li>
-
-        <li>correct layout of working window used to extract data
-        in wide-character configured by
-        <code>set_field_buffer</code></li>
-      </ul>
-    </li>

-        <li>adjust configure script so that "t" is not added to
-        library suffix when weak-symbols are used, allowing the
-        pthread configuration to more closely match the non-thread
-        naming.</li>
-      </ul>
-    </li>
-
-    <li>building the Ada95 tree:
-
-      <ul>
-        <li>changes to use gnatmake project files in the Ada95
-        tree.</li>
-
-        <li>add/use configure check to turn on project rules for
-        <code>Ada95/src</code>.</li>
-
-        <li>old gnatmake (3.15) does not produce libraries using
-        project-file; work around by adding script to generate
-        alternate makefile.</li>
-
-        <li>add configure --with-ada-sharedlib option, for the
-        test_make rule.</li>
-
-        <li>move Ada95-related logic into aclocal.m4, since
-        additional checks will be needed to distinguish old/new
-        implementations of gnat.</li>
-
-        <li>add test_make / test_clean / test_install rules in
-        Ada95/src</li>
-
-        <li>change install-path for adainclude directory to
-        /usr/share/ada (was /usr/lib/ada).</li>
-      </ul>
-    </li>
-
-    <li>other configure/build issues:
-
-      <ul>
-        <li>make <code>CCHARW_MAX</code> value configurable, noting
-        that changing this would change the size of
-        <code>cchar_t</code>, and would be ABI-incompatible.</li>
-
-        <li>improve comparison of program-names when checking for
-        linked flavors such as "reset" by ignoring the executable
-        suffix.</li>
-
-        <li>drop <code>mkdirs.sh</code>, use
-        "<code>mkdir&nbsp;-p</code>".</li>
-
-        <li>drop <code>misc/ncu-indent</code> and
-        <code>misc/jpf-indent</code>; they are provided by an
-        external package <a href=
-        "http://invisible-island.net/cindent/cindent.html">cindent</a>.</li>
-
-        <li>change makefiles to use <code>$ARFLAGS</code> rather
-        than <code>$AR_OPTS</code>, provide a configure check to
-        detect whether a "-" is needed before "ar" options.</li>
-
-        <li>modify <code>CF_DISABLE_LEAKS</code> configure macro so
-        that the --enable-leaks option is not the same as
-        --disable-leaks.</li>
-
-        <li>improve configure script macros
-        <code>CF_HEADER_PATH</code> and
-        <code>CF_LIBRARY_PATH</code> by adding <code>CFLAGS</code>,
-        <code>CPPFLAGS</code> and <code>LDFLAGS</code>,
-        <code>LIBS</code> values to the search-lists.</li>
-
-        <li>improve configure macros <code>CF_GCC_VERSION</code>
-        and <code>CF_GCC_WARNINGS</code> to work with gcc 4.x's c89
-        alias, which gives warning messages for cases where older
-        versions would produce an error.</li>
-
-        <li>modify <code>CF_WITH_LIBTOOL</code> configure check to
-        allow unreleased libtool version numbers (e.g. which
-        include alphabetic chars, as well as digits, after the
-        final '.').</li>
-
-        <li>improve use of symbolic links in makefiles by using
-        "<code>-f</code>" option if it is supported, to eliminate
-        temporary removal of the target</li>
-
-        <li>add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
-        <code>CC_SHARED_OPTS</code> for Solaris.</li>
-
-        <li>add -shared option to <code>MK_SHARED_LIB</code> when
-        -Bsharable is used, for *BSD's, without which "main" might
-        be one of the shared library's dependencies.</li>
-
-        <li>modify configure script to allow building shared
-        libraries with gcc on AIX 5 or 6.</li>
-
-        <li>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.</li>
-
-        <li>suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker
-        flags for gcc on Darwin.</li>
-
-        <li>modify <code>misc/run_tic.in</code> to create parent
-        directory, in case this is a new install of hashed
-        database.</li>
-
-        <li>modify configure check for tic program, used for
-        fallbacks, to a warning if not found. This makes it simpler
-        to use additonal scripts to bootstrap the fallbacks code
-        using tic from the build tree.</li>
-      </ul>
-    </li>
-
-    <li>test programs:
-
-      <ul>
-        <li>add test/demo_terminfo, for comparison with
-        demo_termcap.</li>
-
-        <li>improve test/ncurses.c 'F' test, show combining
-        characters in color.</li>
-
-        <li>fix logic for 'V' in test/ncurses.c tests f/F.</li>
-
-        <li>improve test/ncurses.c 'a test to put mouse droppings
-        in the proper window.</li>
-
-        <li>modify ncurses 'F' test to demo wborder_set with
-        colored lines.</li>
-
-        <li>modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder with colored
-        lines.</li>
-
-        <li>improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl more
-        consistently to display meta-characters.</li>
-
-        <li>correct use of <code>key_name</code> in test/ncurses.c
-        'A' test, which only displays wide-characters, not
-        key-codes since 20070612.</li>
-
-        <li>add test/clip_printw.c to illustrate how to use printw
-        without wrapping.</li>
-
-        <li>modify test-programs, e.g,. test/view.c, to address
-        subtle differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX
-        getcchar return values.</li>
-
-        <li>add some test programs (and make these use the same
-        special keys by sharing <code>linedata.h</code> functions):
-        test/test_addstr.c test/test_addwstr.c test/test_addchstr.c
-        test/test_add_wchstr.c</li>
-
-        <li>add test/xterm-256color.dat</li>
-
-        <li>modify test programs to allow them to be built with
-        NetBSD curses.</li>
-
-        <li>fixes for test programs to build/work on HPUX and AIX,
-        etc.</li>
-      </ul>
-    </li>
+  <li>fixes a longstanding portability problem with its use of the
+      <a href="http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/man/form_fieldtype.3x">set_field_type</a>
+      function.  Because that function uses variable-length argument lists,
+      its interface with gnat does not work with certain platforms.
+  <li>improves configurability and portability, particularly when built
+      separately from the main ncurses tree.  The 5.8 release introduced
+      scripts which can be used to construct separate tarballs for the
+      Ada95 and ncurses examples.
+      <p>Those were a proof of concept.  For the 5.9 release, those
+      scripts are augmented with rpm- and dpkg-scripts used in test builds
+      against a variety of gnat- and system ncurses versions as old as
+      gnat 3.15 and ncurses 5.4 (see snapshots and systems tested
+      <a href="http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses-Ada95.html">here</a>.
+  <li>additional improvements were made for portability of the
+      ncurses examples, adding rpm- and dpkg-scripts for test-builds.
+      See 
+      <a href="http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses-examples.html">this page</a>
+      for snapshots and other information.

-          <ul>
-            <li>add <code>U8</code> feature to denote entries for
-            terminal emulators which do not support VT100 SI/SO
-            when processing UTF-8 encoding</li>
-
-            <li>add <code>XT</code> capability to entries for
-            terminals that support both xterm-style mouse- and
-            title-controls, for <code>screen</code> which
-            special-cases TERM beginning with <code>xterm</code> or
-            <code>rxvt</code></li>
-          </ul>

-
-        <li>improvements based on new checks in tic:</li>

-        </li>
-
-        <li>extend <code>ansi.sys</code> <code>pfkey</code>
-        capability from kf1-kf10 to kf1-kf48, moving function key
-        definitions from <code>emx-base</code> for
-        consistency.</li>
-
-        <li>correct missing final 'p' in <code>pfkey</code>
-        capability of <code>ansi.sys-old</code>.</li>
-
-        <li>rename <code>atari</code> and <code>st52</code>
-        terminfo entries to atari-old, st52-old, use newer entries
-        from FreeMiNT.</li>
-
-        <li>repurpose <code>gnome</code> terminfo entries as
-        <code>vte</code>, retaining <code>gnome</code> variants for
-        compatibility, but generally deprecating those since the
-        VTE library is what actually defines the behavior of
-        "gnome", etc., since 2003.</li>
-
-        <li>improve <code>interix</code> <code>smso</code> terminfo
-        capability by using reverse rather than bold.</li>
-
-        <li>correct <code>initc</code> capability of
-        <code>linux-c-nc</code> end-of-range, make similar change
-        for <code>dg+ccc</code> and <code>dgunix+ccc</code>.</li>
-
-        <li>update <code>minix</code> terminfo entry.</li>

-  <h2>Major bug fixes</h2>
-
-  <ul>
-    <li>ncurses library
-
-      <ul>
-        <li>wide character support
-
-          <ul>
-            <li>modify length returned by <code>getcchar</code> to
-            count the trailing null which is documented in
-            X/Open.</li>
-
-            <li>fix an infinite recursion when adding a
-            legacy-coding 8-bit value using
-            <code>insch</code>.</li>
-
-            <li>improve a workaround in adding wide-characters,
-            when a control character is found. The library uses
-            <code>unctrl</code> to obtain a printable version of
-            the control character, but was not passing color or
-            video attributes.</li>
-
-            <li>modify <code>waddch_literal</code>, updating
-            line-pointer after a multicolumn character is found to
-            not fit on the current row, and wrapping is done. Since
-            the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped
-            multicolumn character was written to the beginning of
-            the current row.</li>
-
-            <li>fixes in <code>wins_nwstr</code> and related
-            functions to ensure that special characters, i.e.,
-            control characters are handled properly with the
-            wide-character configuration.</li>
-
-            <li>correct internal <code>_nc_insert_ch</code> to use
-            <code>_nc_insert_wch</code> when inserting wide
-            characters, since the <code>wins_wch</code> function
-            that it used did not update the cursor position.</li>
-          </ul>
-        </li>
-
-        <li>mouse
-
-          <ul>
-            <li>add check if <code>Gpm_Open</code> returns a -2,
-            e.g., for "xterm". This is normally suppressed but can
-            be overridden using <code>$NCURSES_GPM_TERMS</code>.
-            Ensure that <code>Gpm_Close</code> is called in this
-            case.</li>
-
-            <li>add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if
-            GPM returns a zero, indicating that the connection is
-            closed.</li>
-
-            <li>modify <code>getmouse</code> to act as its
-            documentation implied, returning on each call the
-            preceding event until none are left. When no more
-            events remain, it will return <code>ERR</code>.</li>
-          </ul>
-        </li>
-
-        <li>miscellaneous
-
-          <ul>
-            <li>improve handling of color-pairs embedded in
-            attributes for the extended-colors configuration.</li>
-
-            <li>add check for failure to open hashed-database
-            needed for db4.6.</li>
-
-            <li>modify use of <code>$CC</code> environment variable
-            which is defined by X/Open as a curses feature, to
-            ignore it if it is not a single character.</li>
-
-            <li>modify declaration of <code>cur_term</code> when
-            broken-linker is used, but enable-reentrant is not, to
-            match pre-5.7.</li>
-
-            <li>correct limit-checks in <code>derwin</code>.</li>
-
-            <li>remove old check in <code>mvderwin</code> which
-            prevented moving a derived window whose origin happened
-            to coincide with its parent's origin.</li>
-
-            <li>correct limit-checks in <code>newwin</code>, to
-            ensure that windows have nonzero size.</li>
-
-            <li>modify <code>set_curterm</code> to make
-            broken-linker configuration work with changes from
-            20090228.</li>
-
-            <li>modify <code>wgetch</code> to ensure it checks
-            <code>SIGWINCH</code> when it gets an error in
-            non-blocking mode.</li>
-
-            <li>correct limit-check in <code>wredrawln</code>,
-            accounting for <code>begy</code>/<code>begx</code>
-            values.</li>
-
-            <li>fix a null-pointer check in
-            <code>_nc_format_slks</code> in lib_slk.c, from
-            20070704 changes.</li>
-
-            <li>correct translation of "^" in
-            <code>_nc_infotocap</code>, used to transform terminfo
-            to termcap strings.</li>
-
-            <li>modify <code>_nc_wgetch</code> to check for a -1 in
-            the fifo, e.g., after a <code>SIGWINCH</code>, and
-            discard that value, to avoid confusing
-            application.</li>
-          </ul>
-        </li>
-      </ul>
-    </li>
-
-    <li>other libraries
-
-      <ul>
-        <li>correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
-        <code>field_buffer</code>, which stopped at the end of the
-        first row due to filling of unused entries in a cchar_t
-        array with nulls.</li>
-
-        <li>correct buffer-size after internal resizing of
-        wide-character <code>set_field_buffer</code>, broken in
-        20081018 changes.</li>
-
-        <li>correct layout of working window used to extract data

-
-        <li>adjust configure script so that "t" is not added to

-
-        <li>add/use configure check to turn on project rules for

-
-        <li>old gnatmake (3.15) does not produce libraries using
-        project-file; work around by adding script to generate
-        alternate makefile.</li>
-
-        <li>add configure --with-ada-sharedlib option, for the
-        test_make rule.</li>
-
-        <li>move Ada95-related logic into aclocal.m4, since
-        additional checks will be needed to distinguish old/new

-
-      <ul>
-        <li>make <code>CCHARW_MAX</code> value configurable, noting
-        that changing this would change the size of

-
-        <li>improve comparison of program-names when checking for
-        linked flavors such as "reset" by ignoring the executable
-        suffix.</li>

-
-        <li>change makefiles to use <code>$ARFLAGS</code> rather
-        than <code>$AR_OPTS</code>, provide a configure check to
-        detect whether a "-" is needed before "ar" options.</li>
-
-        <li>modify <code>CF_DISABLE_LEAKS</code> configure macro so
-        that the --enable-leaks option is not the same as

-
-        <li>improve configure script macros
-        <code>CF_HEADER_PATH</code> and
-        <code>CF_LIBRARY_PATH</code> by adding <code>CFLAGS</code>,
-        <code>CPPFLAGS</code> and <code>LDFLAGS</code>,
-        <code>LIBS</code> values to the search-lists.</li>
-
-        <li>improve configure macros <code>CF_GCC_VERSION</code>
-        and <code>CF_GCC_WARNINGS</code> to work with gcc 4.x's c89
-        alias, which gives warning messages for cases where older
-        versions would produce an error.</li>
-
-        <li>modify <code>CF_WITH_LIBTOOL</code> configure check to
-        allow unreleased libtool version numbers (e.g. which
-        include alphabetic chars, as well as digits, after the
-        final '.').</li>
-
-        <li>improve use of symbolic links in makefiles by using
-        "<code>-f</code>" option if it is supported, to eliminate
-        temporary removal of the target</li>
-
-        <li>add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for

-
-        <li>add -shared option to <code>MK_SHARED_LIB</code> when

-        be one of the shared library's dependencies.</li>
-
-        <li>modify configure script to allow building shared
-        libraries with gcc on AIX 5 or 6.</li>
-
-        <li>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.</li>
-
-        <li>suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker
-        flags for gcc on Darwin.</li>
-
-        <li>modify <code>misc/run_tic.in</code> to create parent
-        directory, in case this is a new install of hashed
-        database.</li>
-
-        <li>modify configure check for tic program, used for
-        fallbacks, to a warning if not found. This makes it simpler
-        to use additonal scripts to bootstrap the fallbacks code
-        using tic from the build tree.</li>

+  <li>fixes a longstanding portability problem with its use of the
+      <a href="http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/man/form_fieldtype.3x">set_field_type</a>
+      function.  Because that function uses variable-length argument lists,
+      its interface with gnat does not work with certain platforms.
+  <li>improves configurability and portability, particularly when built
+      separately from the main ncurses tree.  The 5.8 release introduced
+      scripts which can be used to construct separate tarballs for the
+      Ada95 and ncurses examples.
+      <p>Those were a proof of concept.  For the 5.9 release, those
+      scripts are augmented with rpm- and dpkg-scripts used in test builds
+      against a variety of gnat- and system ncurses versions as old as
+      gnat 3.15 and ncurses 5.4 (see snapshots and systems tested
+      <a href="http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses-Ada95.html">here</a>.
+  <li>additional improvements were made for portability of the
+      ncurses examples, adding rpm- and dpkg-scripts for test-builds.
+      See 
+      <a href="http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses-examples.html">this page</a>
