+ bug-fixes/improvements dealt with robustness issues. The + release notes also mention some other bug-fixes, but are focused + on new features and improvements to existing features since + ncurses 6.3 release.There are several new features:
- -O_EDGE_INSERT_STAY - tells the form library to optionally delay cursor movement on - a field edge/boundary
-O_INPUT_FIELD - extension to form library allows a dynamic field to shrink if - the new limit is smaller than the current field size.
-added exit_curses and - exit_terminfo to - replace internal symbols for leak-checking.
-added curses_trace, - to replace trace().
-Additionally, to improve performance other changes (and - extensions) are provided in this release:
- -mouse decoding now handles shift/control/alt logic when - decoding xterm's 1006 mode
-ncurses now defines a limit for wgetnstr, wgetn_wstr when - length is negative or “too large”.
-there is now no buffer-size limit when reading the - $TERMCAP - variable.
-the $TERMCAP - variable may be interpreted as a fallback to a terminfo - entry
-- mvcur now decides whether to use hard-tabs, using - xt, tbc - and hts as clues.
-extended colors are improved by modifying an internal call - to - vid_puts to pass extended color pairs e.g., from - tty_update.c and lib_mvcur.c
-the initialization functions now avoid - relying upon persistent data for the result from getenv
-scrolling is improved:
- -improved loop limits in _nc_scroll_window - handle a case where the scrolled data is a pad which is - taller than the window.
-There are no new features in this release.
These are revised features:
- -used “const” in some prototypes - rather than NCURSES_CONST where X/Open Curses was - updated to do this, e.g., wscanw, newterm, - the terminfo interface. Also use “const” - for consistency in the termcap interface, which was withdrawn - by X/Open Curses in Issue 5 (2007). As of Issue 7, X/Open - Curses still lacks “const” for certain - return values, e.g., keyname.
-modified wbkgd - and wbkgrnd - to improve compatibility with SVr4 curses, changing the way - the window rendition is updated when the background character - is modified
-improved terminfo write/read by modifying the fourth item - of the extended header to denote the number of valid strings - in the extended string table (see term(5)).
-modified the initialization checks for mouse so that the - xterm+sm+1006 - block will work with terminal descriptions not mentioning - xterm.
-These were done to limit or ultimately deprecate features:
- -deprecated safe-sprintf, since the - vsnprintf function, which does what was needed, was - standardized long ago.
-marked vwprintw - and vwscanw as deprecated; recommend using vw_printw - and vw_scanw, respectively.
-added deprecation warnings for internal functions called - by older versions of tack.
-removed unused _nc_import_termtype2 function.
-These are improvements to existing features:
check parameter of set_escdelay, - return ERR if negative.
+modify delscreen to more effectively delete all + windows on the given screen.
check parameter of set_tabsize, return - ERR if not greater than zero
+modify wnoutrefresh to call pnoutrefresh + if its parameter is a pad, rather than treating it as an + error, and modify new_panel to permit its window-parameter to + be a pad
correct a status-check in _nc_read_tic_entry() so that if - reading a hex/b64 $TERMINFO, - and the $TERM - does not match, fall-through to the compiled-in search - list.
+modify curses_trace() to show the trace-mask as symbols, + e.g., TRACE_ORDINARY, DEBUG_LEVEL(3).
amend check for - repeat_char to handle a case where setlocale() was - called after initscr
+improve checks for valid mouse events when an intermediate + mouse state is not part of the mousemask specified by the + caller
move macro for is_linetouched - inside NCURSES_NOMACROS - ifndef.
+allow extended-color number in opts parameter of + wattr_on.
use _nc_copy_termtype2 rather than direct - assignment in setupterm, - in case it is called repeatedly using fallback terminfo - descriptions
+improve _tracecchar_t2 formatting of + base+combining character.
improve workaround for Solaris wcwidth versus line-drawing - characters
+trim out some unwanted linker options from ncurses*config + and .pc files seen in Fedora 36+.
add checks in repair_subwindows - to keep the current position and scroll-margins inside the - resized subwindow.
+improve shell-scripts with shellcheck
correct a buffer-limit in write_entry.c for - systems that use caseless filenames.
+improve use of "trap" in shell scripts, using a + script.
improved build-time utility report_offsets:
- -add categories, e.g., "w" for wide-character, "t" for - threads to make the report more readable. Reorganized the - structures reported to make the categories more - apparent.
-add NCURSES_GLOBALS and - NCURSES_PRESCREEN to report to show how similar - the different libtinfo configurations are.
-modified some header files to ensure that those include - necessary files except for the previously-documented - cases
-added some traces in initialization to show whether a - fallback entry is used.
-made minor optimization to reduce calls to - _nc_reserve_pairs
+modify make-tar.sh scripts to make timestamps + more predictable.
fix a special case in PutAttrChar where a cell is - marked as alternate-character set, but the terminal does not - actually support the given graphic character. This would - happen in an older terminal such as vt52, which - lacks most line-drawing capability.
+modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to allow for the + case where the library directory does not yet exist, since + this is processed before doing an install
corrected flag for "seq" method of db 1.8.5 interface, - needed by toe on some of the BSDs.
+set trailing null on string passed from winsnstr + to wins_nwstr.
modify comparison in make_hash.c to correct a special case - in collision handling for Caps-hpux11
-add extended_slk_color{,_sp} symbols to the appropriate - package/*.{map,sym} files
-modify lib_setup to avoid calling pthread_self() without - first verifying that the address is valid, i.e., for weak - symbols

-Some of the improvements are more subtle, relating to the way - the information is presented. For instance, the generated - terminfo.5 file uses a different table layout, allowing it to use - space on wide terminals more effectively.
-While there were many bugs fixed during development of ncurses - 6.2, only a few (the reason for this release) were both important + 6.4, only a few (the reason for this release) were both important and interesting. Most of the bug-fixes were for local issues which did not affect compatibility across releases. Since those - are detailed in the NEWS file no elaboration is needed here.
- -The interesting bugs were in tic/infocmp's handling of - user-defined capabilities. These were not recent bugs. Initially - it was a simple problem:
- -One of simpleterm's contributors copied some definitions - for using tmux's user-defined capabilities in - - late in 2016.
- ----diff --git a/st.info b/st.info -@@ -185,7 +185,10 @@ st| simpleterm, - tsl=\E]0;, - xenl, - vpa=\E[%i%p1%dd, -- -+# Tmux unofficial extensions, see TERMINFO EXTENSIONS in tmux(1) -+ Se, -+ Ss, -+ Tc, - - st-256color| simpleterm with 256 colors, - use=st, --
Later, in (referring to a version from - mid-2017), a user asked to have it updated in - ncurses.
-However, it had an error from the change in late 2016. The - terminal description made what tmux expected to be - string actually a - boolean.
- -Over the years, there were problems with each of - simpleterm's terminal descriptions. I repaired those, and - usually dealt with the problem.
-The difference in this case was that when compiling the - terminal database, tic may have in memory the - definitions for more than one terminal description (so that - it can resolve “use=” clauses). Seeing - two different types for the same name, in certain situations - it would incorrectly merge the symbol tables for the two - terminal descriptions.
-On simpleterm's side, their bug was finally fixed in - - late 2019, three years after the bug was created.
-For ncurses, the elapsed time to fix this bug was less than - three years. Someone reported a problem with the terminal - description a few weeks after releasing ncurses 6.1 (in tmux #1264), and - the terminal description was updated that week (ncurses patch - 20180224):
- --- --20180224 - + modify _nc_resolve_uses2() to detect incompatible types when merging - a "use=" clause of extended capabilities. The problem was seen in a - defective terminfo integrated from simpleterm sources in 20171111, - compounded by repair in 20180121. - + correct Ss/Ms interchange in st-0.7 entry (tmux #1264) -TD --
The larger part of that change added a check to prevent a - simple merge of terminal descriptions where the same user-defined - name was used with different types. But it raised some - questions:
+The interesting bugs were those dealing with memory leaks and + buffer overflows. Although the utilities are designed for + text files (which they do properly), some choose to test + them with non-text files.
Was there a reliable way to manage terminal descriptions - which used the same extended name in different ways?
+Text files contain no embedded nulls. Also, they end with + a newline. Feeding tic non-text files + exposed a few cases where the program did not check for those + issues. As a result, further processing of the input found + limit-checks whose assumptions were invalid.
Should ncurses provide a registry of well-known extended - names, with their types?
+Fixing the limit-checks (first) found a problem with + tic managing the list of strings in a + terminal description. In merging two terminal descriptions + (i.e., the “use=” feature), tic + was not allocating a complete copy. A quick repair for that + introduced a memory leak.
Since the correction to terminfo.src - could have been readily adopted by packagers, there was nothing - more to be done from ncurses' standpoint on that part. But - improving ncurses to prevent issues like that is the reason for - making a release.
- -Nothing more (constructive) was mentioned with regard to - simpleterm. But a few problems were found in the handling of - user-defined capabilities:
- -Forward-references to user-defined capabilities in a - “use=” clause did not allocate new data - for each use. In tic, successive compilation of - terminal entries could add user-defined capabilities to the - wrong terminal entry.
- -This was not noticed before, since xterm's terminal - descriptions were the main users of the feature, and almost - all of the uses of the building-blocks which contained - user-defined capabilities were backward-references.
+The checks for non-text files are improved (i.e., embedded + nulls in the input file will cause tic to + reject it rather than attempting to process it).
There is one (documented) case where ncurses 6.1 supports - a user-defined capability that could be any type (i.e., - “RGB”). The check added in February 2018 to guard - against mismatches did not handle all of the combinations - needed.
+The string allocations in tic are + likewise improved.
Both of these issues dated from the original implementation of - user-defined capabilities. Fixing them does not change the - terminal database, but a older tic without the fixes - will not be able to handle terminfo sources which rely upon those - fixes. Starting in June 2019, the download link for the terminfo - source file was capped at that date. The development sources have - an up-to-date copy of the file, for people with a legitimate need - for it.
- -The “-c” (check) option of tic - is not very useful if it cannot offer advice on parameters needed - for user-defined capabilities. The various Caps files - were reorganized to reduce redundancy, and in the common portion - (Caps-ncurses), - a registry of user-defined capabilities is provided for use by - tic. While users can still define their own custom - capabilities, tic will not offer any advice when their - parameters do not match.
- -In ncurses 6.2, tic makes a special check to allow - any type for RGB, but its being able to do this relies - upon fixes made in the ncurses library in mid-2019.
-There are no major changes. Several new options were added to - ease integration of packages with systems using different - versions of GNAT and ncurses. Also, +
