win_driver.c by temporarily changing the buffer-size to match the
window-size to eliminate the scrollback. Also enforce a minimum
screen-size of 24x80 in the non-buffered mode.
+ modify generated misc/Makefile to suppress install.data from the
dependencies if the --disable-db-install option is used, compensating
for the top-level makefile changes used to add ncurses*-config in the 20140920 changes (report by Steven Honeyman).
+ add ncurses*-config to bin-directory of sample package-scripts.
+ add check to ensure that getopt is available; this is a problem in
some older cross-compiler environments.
+ expanded on the description of --disable-overwrite in INSTALL
(prompted by reports by Joakim Tjernlund, Thomas Klausner).
See Gentoo #522586 and NetBSD #49200 for examples.

+ fix most compiler warnings for Cygwin ncurses-examples.
+ restore "redundant" -I options in test/Makefile.in, since they are
typically needed when building the derived ncurses-examples package

because the parameters to be incremented were already on the internal
stack (report by Corinna Vinschen).
+ modify tic's "-c" option to take into account the "-C" option to
activate additional checks which compare the results from running
tparm() on the terminfo expressions versus the translated termcap
expressions.

cf: 20120324).
> patches by Nicolas Boulenguez:
+ explicit dereferences to suppress some style warnings.
+ when c_varargs_to_ada.c includes its header, use double quotes
instead of <>.
+ samples/ncurses2-util.adb: removed unused with clause. The warning
was removed by an obsolete pragma.
+ replaced Unreferenced pragmas with Warnings (Off). The latter,
available with older GNATs, needs no configure test. This also
replaces 3 untested Unreferenced pragmas.

some basic formatting, and avoids a warning about security with some
compiler flags.
+ for generated Ada sources, replace many snippets with one pure
package.

+ removed C_AttrType and its conversions.
+ removed conversions between int, Item_Option_Set, Menu_Option_Set.
+ removed int, Field_Option_Set, Item_Option_Set conversions.
+ removed C_TraceType, Attribute_Option_Set conversions.

+ further improve MinGW support for the scenario where there is an
ANSI-escapes handler such as ansicon running in the console window
(patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ add --disable-lib-suffixes option (adapted from patch by Juergen
Pfeifer).
+ merge some changes from Juergen Pfeifer's work with MSYS2, to
simplify later merging:

cf: 20090927).
+ modify configure script:
+ drop the -no-gcc option from Intel compiler, from lynx changes.
+ extend the --with-hashed-db configure option to simplify building
with different versions of Berkeley database using FreeBSD ports.

+ add mlterm3 entry, use that as "mlterm" -TD
+ inherit mlterm-256color from mlterm -TD
+ modify _nc_New_TopRow_and_CurrentItem() to ensure that the menu's
top-row is adjusted as needed to ensure that the current item is
on the screen (patch by Johann Klammer).
+ add wgetdelay() to retrieve _delay member of WINDOW if it happens to
be opaque, e.g., in the pthread configuration (prompted by patch by
Soren Brinkmann).

allocating a console-buffer. This uses a pre-existing environment
variable NCGDB used by Juergen Pfeifer for debugging (prompted by
discussion with Erwin Waterlander regarding Console2, which hangs
when reading in an allocated console-buffer).

scrolling-stages.
+ regenerate NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the broken
html emitted by docbook.
+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to omit followup check to determine if
_XOPEN_SOURCE can/should be defined. g++ 4.7.2 built on Solaris 10
has some header breakage due to its own predefinition of this symbol
(report by Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15796).
+ add/use symbol NCURSES_PAIRS_T like NCURSES_COLOR_T, to illustrate
which "short" types are for color pairs and which are color values.
+ fix build for s390x, by correcting field bit offsets in generated
representation clauses when int=32 long=64 and endian=big, or at
least on s390x (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ minor cleanup change to test/form_driver_w.c (patch by Gaute Hope).
+ remove unnecessary ifdef's in Ada95/gen/gen.c, which reportedly do
not work as is with gcc 4.8 due to fixes using chtype cast made for
new compiler warnings by gcc 4.8 in 20130824 (Debian #735753, patch
by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ modify configure-script/ifdef's to allow OLD_TTY feature to be
suppressed if the type of ospeed is configured using the option
--with-ospeed to not be a short. By default, it is a short for
termcap-compatibility (adapted from suggestion by Christian
Weisgerber).
+ correct a typo in _nc_baudrate() (patch by Christian Weisgerber,
cf: 20061230).
+ fix a few -Wlogical-op warnings.
+ updated llib-l* files.

definition from CPPFLAGS to CFLAGS if it happens to be needed for
Solaris, because g++ errors with that definition (report by
Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15268).
+ correct logic in infocmp's -i option which was intended to ignore
strings which correspond to function-keys as candidates for piecing
together initialization- or reset-strings. The problem dates to
1.9.7a, but was overlooked until changes in -Wlogical-op warnings for
gcc 4.8 (report by David Binderman).
+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, adding
checks for -Wextra, -Wignored-qualifiers and -Wlogical-op
+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, moving
checks for -Wextra and -Wdeclaration-after-statement into the macro,

check if the call to wgetnstr() returned an error. This can happen
when both nocbreak() and nodelay() are set, for instance (report by
Nils Christopher Brause) (cf: 960418).
+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
+ add a check for valid position in ClearToEOS()
+ fix in lib_twait.c when --enable-wgetch-events is used, pointer
use after free.
+ improve a limit-check in make_hash.c
+ fix a memory leak in hashed_db.c
+ modify test/configure script to make it simpler to override names
of curses-related libraries, to help with linking with pdcurses in
mingw environment.
+ if the --with-terminfo-dirs configure option is not used, there is
no corresponding compiled-in value for that. Fill in "no default
value" for that part of the manpage substitution.
+ correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make
an incorrect move (cf: 20001028).
+ improve documentation of the terminfo/termcap search path.
+ further fixes to mvcur to pass callback function (cf: 20130112),
needed to make test/dots_mvcur work.
+ reduce calls to SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer in win_driver.c, to
help reduce flicker.
+ modify configure script to omit "+b" from linker options for very
old HP-UX systems (report by Dennis Grevenstein)
+ add HP-UX workaround for missing EILSEQ on old HP-UX systems (patch
by Dennis Grevenstein).
+ restore memmove/strdup support for antique systems (request by
Dennis Grevenstein).
+ change %l behavior in tparm to push the string length onto the stack
rather than saving the formatted length into the output buffer
(report by Roy Marples, cf: 980620).
+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
+ fix memory leak in safe_sprintf.c
+ add check for return-value in tty_update.c
+ correct initialization for -s option in test/view.c
+ add check for numeric overflow in lib_instr.c
+ improve error-checking in copywin
+ add advice in infocmp manpage for termcap users (Debian #698469).
+ add "-y" option to test/demo_termcap and test/demo_terminfo to
demonstrate behavior with/without extended capabilities.
+ updated termcap manpage to document legacy termcap behavior for
matching capability names.
+ modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate legacy
applications as well as to improve compatbility with BSD 4.2
termcap implementations (Debian #698299) (cf: 980725).
+ correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts.
+ drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they
are unused in the current driver model.
+ modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses
library.
+ modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage.
+ amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level
putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering.
The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674).
+ add "-s" option to test/view.c to allow it to start in single-step
mode, reducing size of trace files when it is used for debugging
MinGW changes.
+ revert part of 20121222 change to tinfo_driver.c
+ add experimental logic in win_driver.c to improve optimization of
screen updates. This does not yet work with double-width characters,
so it is ifdef'd out for the moment (prompted by report by Erwin
Waterlander regarding screen flicker).
+ fix coverity warnings regarding copying into fixed-size buffers.
+ add throw-declarations in the c++ binding per Coverity warning.
+ minor changes to new-items for consistent reference to bug-report
numbers.
+ add *.dSYM directories to clean-rule in ncurses directory makefile,
for Mac OS builds.
+ add a configure check for gcc option -no-cpp-precomp, which is not
available in all Mac OS X configurations (report by Andras Salamon,
cf: 20011208).
+ improve 20021221 workaround for broken acs, handling a case where
that ACS_xxx character is not in the acsc string but there is a known
wide-character which can be used.
+ fix several warnings from clang 3.1 --analyze, includes correcting
a null-pointer check in _nc_mvcur_resume.
+ correct display of double-width characters with MinGW port (report
by Erwin Waterlander).
+ replace MinGW's wcrtomb(), fixing a problem with _nc_viscbuf
> fixes based on Coverity report:
+ correct coloring in test/bs.c
+ correct check for 8-bit value in _nc_insert_ch().
+ remove dead code in progs/tset.c, test/linedata.h
+ add null-pointer checks in lib_tracemse.c, panel.priv.h, and some
test-programs.
+ modify test/knight.c to show the number of choices possible for
each position in automove option, e.g., to allow user to follow
Warnsdorff's rule to solve the puzzle.
+ modify test/hanoi.c to show the minimum number of moves possible for
the given number of tiles (prompted by patch by Lucas Gioia).
> fixes based on Coverity report:
+ remove a few redundant checks.
+ correct logic in test/bs.c, when randomly placing a specific type of
ship.
+ check return value from remove/unlink in tic.
+ check return value from sscanf in test/ncurses.c
+ fix a null dereference in c++/cursesw.cc
+ fix two instances of uninitialized variables when configuring for the
terminal driver.

+ set umask when calling mkstemp in tic.
+ initialize wbkgrndset() temporary variable when extended-colors are
used.
+ also replace MinGW's wctomb(), fixing a problem with setcchar().
+ modify test/view.c to load UTF-8 when built with MinGW by using
regular win32 API because the MinGW functions mblen() and mbtowc()
do not work.
+ correct order of color initialization versus display in some of the
test-programs, e.g., test_addstr.c
> fixes based on Coverity report:
+ delete windows on exit from some of the test-programs.
> fixes based on Coverity report:
+ add missing braces around FreeAndNull in two places.
+ various fixes in test/ncurses.c
+ improve limit-checks in tinfo/make_hash.c, tinfo/read_entry.c
+ correct malloc size in progs/infocmp.c
+ guard against negative array indices in test/knight.c
+ fix off-by-one limit check in test/color_name.h
+ add null-pointer check in progs/tabs.c, test/bs.c, test/demo_forms.c,
test/inchs.c
+ fix memory-leak in tinfo/lib_setup.c, progs/toe.c,
test/clip_printw.c, test/demo_menus.c
+ delete unused windows in test/chgat.c, test/clip_printw.c,
test/insdelln.c, test/newdemo.c on error-return.
+ modify configure macro CF_INCLUDE_DIRS to put $CPPFLAGS after the
local -I include options in case someone has set conflicting -I
options in $CPPFLAGS (prompted by patch for ncurses/Makefile.in by
Vassili Courzakis).
+ modify the ncurses*-config scripts to eliminate relative paths from
the RPATH_LIST variable, e.g., "../lib" as used in installing shared
libraries or executables.
+ realign these related pages:
curs_add_wchstr.3x
curs_addchstr.3x
curs_addstr.3x
curs_addwstr.3x
and fix a long-ago error in curs_addstr.3x which said that a -1
length parameter would only write as much as fit onto one line
(report by Reuben Thomas).
+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_memmove() for memmove()/bcopy().
+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_strdup() for strdup().
+ cancel any debug-rpm in package/ncurses.spec
+ reviewed vte-2012, reverted most of the change since it was incorrect
based on testing with tack -TD
+ un-cancel the initc in vte-256color, since this was implemented
starting with version 0.20 in 2009 -TD
+ improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
#866989).
+ add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.
+ updated configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_WITH_PATHLIST. The
first corrects pattern used for Mac OS X's customization of gcc.
+ improve CF_GCC_VERSION to work around Debian's customization of gcc
--version message.
+ improve configure macros as done in byacc:
+ drop 2.13 compatibility; use 2.52.xxxx version only since EMX port
has used that for a while.
+ add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE's to allow autoheader to run, i.e.,
for experimental use.
+ remove unused configure macros.
+ modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
for LIBS_TO_MAKE variable.
