ncurses 6.4 - patch 20230418 + improve checks for limits on privileged execution: + modify _nc_syserr_abort() to use _nc_env_access(), rather than only checking root uid. + use getauxval() when available, to improve setuid/setgid checks. + modify test packages to disable root access/environ options. + modify tgoto() to accept no-parameter capabilities, for joe editor (OpenSUSE #1210485, Gentoo #904263).
ncurses 6.2 - patch 20200531 + correct configure version-check/warnng for g++ to allow for 10.x + re-enable "bel" in konsole-base (report by Nia Huang) + add linux-s entry (patch by Alexandre Montaron). + drop long-obsolete convert_configure.pl + add test/test_parm.c, for checking tparm changes. + improve parameter-checking for tparm, adding function _nc_tiparm() to handle the most-used case, which accepts only numeric parameters (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor"). + use a more conservative estimate of the buffer-size in lib_tparm.c's save_text() and save_number(), in case the sprintf() function passes-through unexpected characters from a format specifier (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor"). + add a check for end-of-string in cvtchar to handle a malformed string in infotocap (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
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 6.1 - patch 20180317 + fix a check in infotocap which may not have detected a problem when it should have. + add a check in tic for the case where setf/setb are given using different strings, but provide identical results to setaf/setab. + further improve fix for terminfo.5 (patch by Kir Kolyshkin). + reorder loop-limit checks in winsnstr() in case the string has no terminating null and only the number of characters is used (patch by Gyorgy Jeney).
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170722 + improve test-packages for ncurses-examples and AdaCurses for lintian + modify logic for endwin-state to be able to detect the case where the screen was never initialized, using that to trigger a flush of ncurses' buffer for mvcur, e.g., in test/dots_mvcur.c for the term-driver configuration. + add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to a few other internal header files to allow each to be compiled separately. + add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to tic's header-files; any program using tic-library will have to supply this file. Legacy tack versions supply this file; ongoing tack development has dropped the dependency upon tic-library and new releases will not be affected.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20120218 + correct CF_ETIP_DEFINES configure macro, making it exit properly on the first success (patch by Pierre Labastie). + improve configure macro CF_MKSTEMP by moving existence-check for mkstemp out of the AC_TRY_RUN, to help with cross-compiles. + improve configure macro CF_FUNC_POLL from luit changes to detect broken implementations, e.g., with Mac OS X. + add configure option --with-tparm-arg + build-fix for MinGW cross-compiling, so that make_hash does not depend on TTY definition (cf: 20111008).
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20101225 + modify nc_tparm.h, adding guards against repeated inclusion, and allowing TPARM_ARG to be overridden. + fix some strict compiler warnings in ncurses library.
