Also modified the test program to ensure that if + building with ncurses, that the cchar_t type is checked, since that + normally is since 20111030 ifdef'd depending on this test. + + improve 20121222 workaround for broken acs, letting Solaris "work" + in spite of its misconfigured wcwidth which marks all of the line + drawing characters as double-width. + +20151205 + + update form_cursor.3x, form_post.3x, menu_attributes.3x to list + function names in NAME section (patch by Jason McIntyre). + + minor fixes to manpage NAME/SYNOPSIS sections to consistently use + rule that either all functions which are prototyped in SYNOPSIS are + listed in the NAME section, or the manual-page name is the sole item + listed in the NAME section. The latter is used to reduce clutter, + e.g., for the top-level library manual pages as well as for certain + feature-pages such as SP-funcs and threading (prompted by patches by + Jason McIntyre). + +20151128 + + add option to preserve leading whitespace in form fields (patch by + Leon Winter). + + add missing assignment in lib_getch.c to make notimeout() work + (Debian #805618). + + add 't' toggle for notimeout() function in test/ncurses.c a/A screens + + add viewdata terminal description (Alexandre Montaron). + + fix a case in tic/infocmp for formatting capabilities where a + backslash at the end of a string was mishandled. + + fix some typos in curs_inopts.3x (Benno Schulenberg). + 20151121 + fix some inconsistencies in the pccon* entries -TD + add bold to pccon+sgr+acs and pccon-base (Tati Chevron).
