Likewise, ensure that tset sends + either reset- or init-strings. + + improve manual page descriptions of tput init/reset and tset/reset, + to make it easier to see how they are similar and different. + + move a static result from key_name() to _nc_globals + + modify _nc_get_screensize to allow for use_env() and use_tioctl() + state to be per-screen when sp-funcs are configured, better matching + the behavior when using the term-driver configuration. + + improve cross-references in manual pages for often used functions + + move SCREEN field for use_tioctl() data before the ncursesw fields, + and limit that to the sp-funcs configuration to improve termlib + compatibility (cf: 20120714). + + correct order of initialization for traces in use_env() and + use_tioctl() versus first trace calls. + +20161231 + + fix errata for ncurses-howto (report by Damien Ruscoe). + + fix a few places in configure/build scripts where DESTDIR and rpath + were combined (report by Thomas Klausner). + + merge current st description (report by Harry Gindi) -TD + + modify flash capability for linux and wyse entries to put the delay + between the reverse/normal escapes rather than after -TD + + modify program tabs to pass the actual tty file descriptor to + setupterm rather than the standard output, making padding work + consistently. + + explain in clear's manual page that it writes to stdout. + + add special case for verbose debugging traces of command-line + utilities which write to stderr (cf: 20161126). + + remove a trace with literal escapes from skip_DECSCNM(), added in + 20161203. + + update config.guess, config.sub from + http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git + +20161224 + + correct parmeters for copywin call in _nc_Synchronize_Attributes() + (patch by Leon Winter). + + improve color-handling section in terminfo manual page (prompted by + patch by Mihail Konev). + + modify programs clear, tput and tset to pass the actual tty file + descriptor to setupterm rather than the standard output, making + padding work. + +20161217 + + add tput-colorcube demo script. + + add -r and -s options to tput-initc demo, to match usage in xterm. + + flush the standard output in _nc_flush for the case where SP is zero, + e.g., when called via putp. This fixes a scenario where "tput flash" + did not work after changes in 20130112. + +20161210 + + add configure script option --disable-wattr-macros for use in cases + where one wants to use the same headers for ncurses5/ncurses6 + development, by suppressing the wattr* macros which differ due to + the introduction of extended colors (prompted by comments in + Debian #230990, Redhat #1270534). + + add test/tput-initc to demonstrate tput used to initialize palette + from a data file. + + modify test/xterm*.dat to use the newer color4/color12 values. + +20161203 + + improve discussion of field validation in form_driver.3x manual page. + + update curs_trace.3x manual page. + +20161126 + + modify linux-16color to not mask dim, standout or reverse with the + ncv capability -TD + + add 0.1sec mandatory delay to flash capabilities using the VT100 + reverse-video control -TD + + omit selection of ISO-8859-1 for G0 in enacs capability from linux2.6 + entry, to avoid conflict with the user-defined mapping. The reset + feature will use ISO-8859-1 in any case (Mikulas Patocka). + + improve check in tic for delays by also warning about beep/flash + when a delay is not embedded, or if those use the VT100 reverse + video escape without using a delay. + + minor fix for syntax-check of delays from 20161119 changes. + + modify trace() to avoid overwriting existing file (report by Maor + Shwartz). + 20161119 + add check in tic for some syntax errors of delays, as well as use of proportional delays for non-line capabilities.
