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 6.3 - patch 20220924 + modify configure macro CF_BUILD_CC to check if the build-compiler works, rather than that it is different from the cross-compiler, e.g., to accommodate a compiler which can be used for either purpose with different flags (report by Mikhail Korolev). + fix another memory-leak in tic. + correct change for cppcheck in menu library (report/analysis by "tuxway", cf: 20220903). + update config.guess, config.sub

ncurses 6.2 - patch 20200229 + modify CF_NCURSES_CONFIG to work around xcode's c99 "-W" option, which conflicts with conventional use for passing linker options. > fixes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2 (patches by "Maarten Anonymous"): + check for pcre2posix.h instead of pcre2-posix.h + add case in CF_SHARED_OPTS for msys2 + msvc + add fallback definition for STDIN_FILENO in progs.priv.h + modify win_driver.c to use _alloca() rather than gcc's variable length array feature. + add NCURSES_IMPEXP to ncurses wrapped-variable declarations + remove NCURSES_IMPEXP from class variables in c++/cursslk.h + remove fallback prototype for exit() from c++/etip.h.in + use configured check for <sys/time.h> in a couple of places + conditionally include winsock.h in ncurses/win32con/gettimeofday.c, because Visual Studio needs this for the timestruct declaration. + adjust syntax in a couple of files using the NCURSES_API symbol.
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 20191207 + fix a few warnings for test-package builds + add curses_trace(), to replace trace().
ncurses 6.1 - patch 20180526 + add note in curs_util.3x about unctrl.h + review/improve header files to ensure that those include necessary files except for the previously-documented cases (report by Isaac Pascual Monells). + improved test-package scripts, adapted from byacc 1.9 20180525. + fix some gcc8 warnings seen in Redhat package build, but work around bug in gcc8 compiler warnings in comp_parse.c
ncurses 6.1 - patch 20180505 + add deprecation warnings for internal functions called by older versions of tack. + 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. + use configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename conflict with Debian packages versus test-packages. + update tracemunch to work with perl 5.26.2, which changed the rules for escaping regular expressions.
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 20170408 + change logic in wins_nwstr() to avoid addressing data past the output of mbstowcs(). + correct a call to setcchar() in Data_Entry_w() from 20131207 changes. + fix minor memory-leaks in test-programs. + further improve ifdef in term_entry.h for internal definitions not used by tack.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170318 + change TERMINAL structure in term.h to make it opaque. Some applications misuse its members, e.g., directly modifying it rather than using def_prog_mode(). + modify utility headers such as tic.h to make it clearer which are externals that are used by tack. + improve curs_slk.3x in particular its discussion of portability. + fix cut/paste in legacy_encoding.3x + add prototype for find_pair() to new_pair.3x (report by Branden Robinson). + fix a couple of broken links in generated man-html documentation. + regenerate man-html documentation.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20150905 + add note in curs_addch.3x about line-drawing when it depends upon UTF-8. + add tic -q option for consistency with infocmp, use it to suppress all comments from the "tic -I" output. + modify infocmp -q option to suppress the "Reconstructed from" header. + add infocmp/tic -Q option, which allows one to dump the compiled form of the terminal entry, in hexadecimal or base64.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20150822 + sort options in usage message for infocmp, to make it simpler to see unused letters. + update usage message for tic, adding "-0" option. + documented differences in ESCDELAY versus AIX's implementation. + fix some compiler warnings from ports. + modify --with-pkg-config-libdir option to make it possible to install ".pc" files even if pkg-config is not found (adapted by patch by Joshua Root).
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20141101 + improve strict compiler-warnings by adding a cast in TRACE_RETURN and making a new TRACE_RETURN1 macro for cases where the cast does not apply.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20130525 + modify mvcur() to distinguish between internal use by the ncurses library, and external callers, preventing it from reading the content of the screen which is only nonblank when curses calls have updated it. This makes test/dots_mvcur.c avoid painting colored cells in the left margin of the display. + minor fix to test/dots_mvcur.c + move configured symbols USE_DATABASE and USE_TERMCAP to term.h as NCURSES_USE_DATABASE and NCURSES_USE_TERMCAP to allow consistent use of these symbols in term_entry.h
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20130202 + correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make an incorrect move (cf: 20001028). + improve documentation of the terminfo/termcap search path.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20120303 + minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation regarding mapping of \0 to \200 + minor improvement to _nc_copy_termtype(), using memcpy to replace loops. + fix no-leaks checking in test/demo_termcap.c to account for multiple calls to setupterm(). + modified the libgpm change to show previous load as a problem in the debug-trace. > merge some patches from OpenSUSE rpm (Werner Fink): + ncurses-5.7-printw.dif, fixes for varargs handling in lib_printw.c + ncurses-5.7-gpm.dif, do not dlopen libgpm if already loaded by runtime linker + ncurses-5.6-fallback.dif, do not free arrays and strings from static fallback entries
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20111008 + moved static data from db_iterator.c to lib_data.c + modify db_iterator.c for memory-leak checking, fix one leak. + modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to use Requires.private for the parts of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728).
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20110626 + move include of nc_termios.h out of term_entry.h, since the latter is installed, e.g., for tack while the former is not (report by Sven Joachim).
