ncurses 6.4 - patch 20231028 + move xterm focus mode 1004 from xterm+sm+1006 into xterm+focus as fe/fd capabilities, like vim (vim-pr #13440). + modify --with-pkg-config-libdir option to make "libdir" the default, as documented, rather than "auto" (report by Branden Robinson). + improve messages from configure script (patches by Branden Robinson).
ncurses 6.4 - patch 20230423 + add tiscan_s() to help applications check formatting capabilities that would be passed to tiparm_s, etc. + add tiparm_s() to provide applications a way to tell ncurses what the expected parameters are for a capability (tmux #3531). + improve check in lib_tparm.c, ensuring that a char* fits into a TPARM_ARG. + add --disable-setuid-environ configure option (request by Sven Joachim). + drop compatibility with obsolete versions of tack, e.g., pre-1.08 (Debian #1034549, cf: 20170722).
ncurses 6.2 - patch 20210619 + improve configure-macro used for dependencies of --disable-leaks such as --with-valgrind + trim trailing blanks from files
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 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 5.9 - patch 20120811 + update autoconf patch to 2.52.20120811, adding --datarootdir (prompted by discussion with Erwin Waterlander). + improve description of --enable-reentrant option in README and the INSTALL file. + add nsterm-256color, make this the default nsterm -TD + remove bw from nsterm-bce, per testing with tack -TD
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20110820 + add a check to ensure that termcap files which might have "^?" do not use the terminfo interpretation as "\177". + minor cleanup of X-terminal emulator section of terminfo.src -TD + add terminator entry -TD + add simpleterm entry -TD + improve wattr_get macros by ensuring that if the window pointer is null, then the attribute and color values returned will be zero (cf: 20110528).
