ncurses 6.2 - patch 20200212 + update release notes + minor build-fixes, mostly to test-package scripts + modify check for sizeof(wchar_t) to ensure it gives useful result when cross-compiling. + drop assumption in configure script that Cygwin's linker is broken. + define NCURSES_BROKEN_LINKER if the broken-linker feature is used, to simplify configure-checks for ncurses-examples. + reassert copyright on ncurses, per discussion in ncurses FAQ: https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html#relicensed + modify comparison in make_hash.c to correct a special case in collision handling for Caps-hpux11 + add testing utility report_hashing to check hash-tables used for terminfo and termcap names. + fix a missing prototype for _nc_free_and_exit(). + update a few comments about tack 1.07 + use an awk script to split too-long pathnames used in Ada95 sample programs for explain.txt
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20180120 + build-fix in picsmap.c for stdint.h existence. + add --disable-stripping option to configure scripts. + modify ncurses-examples to install test-scripts in the data directory. + work around tool-breakage in Debian 9 and later by invoking gprconfig to specify the C compiler to be used by gnatmake, and conditionally suppressing Library_Options line for static libraries. + bump the compat level for test-packages to 7, i.e., Debian 5.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20180106 + fixes for writing extended color pairs in putwin. + modify test/savescreen.c to add test patterns that exercise 88-, 256-, etc., colors. + modify configure option --with-build-cc, adding clang, c89 and c99 as possible default values. + modify ncurses-examples configure script to use pkg-config for the extra form/menu/panel libraries, to be more consistent with the handling of the curses/ncurses library. + modify test-packages for mingw to supply "pc" files. + modify gen-pkgconfig.in to list -lpthread as a private library when configured to access it via weak symbols. + simplify gen-pkgconfig.in, adding -ltinfo without the special linker checks because some versions of the linker simply hard-code the behavior. + update URLs for ncurses website to use https. + modify CF_CURSES_LIBS to fill in $cf_nculib_root in case the ncurses-examples are built with a system ncurses that lacks the standard "curses" symbolic link, as done by SuSE. The symbol is needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and would be set properly using the options "--with-screen", etc. + generate misc/*.pc with "all" rule, as done for "sources" rule (report by Jeffrey Walton).
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20171209 + modify misc/ncurses-config.in to make output with --includedir consistent with --cflags, i.e., when --disable-overwrite option was configured the output should show the subdirectory where headers are. + modify MKlib_gen.sh to suppress macros when calling an "implemented" function in link_test.c + updated ftp-url used in test-packages, etc. + modify order of -pie/-shared options in configure script in case LDFLAGS uses "-pie", working around a defect or limitation in the GNU linker (prompted by patch by Yogesh Prasad, forwarded by Jay Shah). + add entry in man_db.renames for user_caps.5
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170415 + modify several test programs to use new popup_msgs, adapted from help-screen used in test/edit_field.c + drop two symbols obsoleted in 2004: _nc_check_termtype, and _nc_resolve_uses + fix some old copyright dates (cf: 20031025). + build-fixes for test/savescreen.c to work with AIX and HPUX. + minor fix to configure script, adding a backslash/continuation. + extend TERMINAL structure for ABI 6 to store numbers internally as integers rather than short, by adding new data for this purpose. + more fixes for minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20150808 + build-fix for Ada95 on older platforms without stdint.h + build-fix for Solaris, whose /bin/sh and /usr/bin/sed are non-POSIX. + update release announcement, summarizing more than 800 changes across more than 200 snapshots. + minor fixes to manpages, etc., to simplify linking from announcement page.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20121102 + 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
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20121026 + 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.
ncurses 5.8 - patch 20110319 + regen Ada html documentation. + change order of -I options from ncurses*-config script when the --disable-overwrite option was used, so that the subdirectory include is listed first. + modify the make-tar.sh scripts to add a MANIFEST and NEWS file. + modify configure script to provide value for HTML_DIR in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, which depends on whether the Ada95 binding is distributed separately (report by Nicolas Boulenguez). + modify configure script to add -g and/or -O3 to ADAFLAGS if the CFLAGS for the build has these options. + amend change from 20070324, to not add 1 to the result of getmaxx and getmaxy in the Ada binding (report by Nicolas Boulenguez for thread in comp.lang.ada). + build-fix Ada95/samples for gnat 4.5 + spelling fixes for Ada95/samples/explain.txt > fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez): + add item in Trace_Attribute_Set corresponding to TRACE_ATTRS. + add workaround for binding to set_field_type(), which uses varargs. The original binding from 990220 relied on the prevalent implementation of varargs which did not support or need va_copy(). + add dependency on gen/Makefile.in needed for *-panels.ads + add Library_Options to library.gpr + add Languages to library.gpr, for gprbuild
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20100227 + add Ada95/configure script, to use in tar-file created by Ada95/make-tar.sh + fix typo in wresize.3x (patch by Tim van der Molen). + modify screen-bce.XXX entries to exclude ech, since screen's color model does not clear with color for that feature -TD
