This is a log of changes that ncurses has gone through since Zeyd started
Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions;
it is not possible to add this information.
+20191019
+ + modify make_hash to not require --disable-leaks, to simplify building
+ with address-sanitizer.
+ + modify tic to exit if it cannot remove a conflicting name, because
+ treating that as a partial success can cause an infinite loop in
+ use-resolution (report/testcase by Hongxu Chen, cf: 20111001).
+
+20191015
+ + improve buffer-checks in captoinfo.c, for some cases when the
+ input string is shorter than expected.
+ > fix two errata in tic (report/testcases by Hongxu Chen):
+ + check for missing character after backslash in write_it
+ + check for missing characters after "%>" when converting from termcap
+ syntax (cf: 980530).
+
+20191012
+ + amend recent changes to ncurses*-config and pc-files to filter out
+ Debian linker-flags (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20150516).

+ + check for invalid hashcode in _nc_find_entry.
+ + check for missing character after backslash in fmt_entry
+ + check for acsc with odd length in dump_entry in check for one-one
+ mapping (cf: 20060415);

+
+20191005
+ + modify the ncurse*-config and pc-files to more closely match for the
+ -I and -l options.

+ + add --with-ada-libname option and modify Ada95 configuration to
+ allow renaming the "AdaCurses" library (prompted by proposed changes
+ by Pascal Pignard).

+ the --enable-warnings option is not used, to avoid unnecessary
+ warnings about unrecognized inline options (report by Sven Joachim).
+

+ noticed with MacOS but applicable to other platforms without
+ libpanelw, etc.

+
+20190803
+ + improve loop limits in _nc_scroll_window() to handle a case where
