ncurses 5.9 - patch 20141220 + updated Ada95/configure with macro changes from 20141213 + tie configure options --with-abi-version and --with-versioned-syms together, so that ABI 6 libraries have distinct symbol versions from the ABI 5 libraries. + replace obsolete/nonworking link to man2html with current one, regenerate html-manpages.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20130907 + build-fixes for MSYS for two test-programs (patches by Ray Donnelly, Alexey Pavlov). + revert change to two of the dpkg format files, to work with dpkg before/after Debian #700177. + fix gcc -Wconversion warning in wattr_get() macro. + add msys and msysdll to known host/configuration types (patch by Alexey Pavlov). + modify CF_RPATH_HACK configure macro to not rely upon "-u" option of sort, improving portability. + minor improvements for test-programs from reviewing Solaris port. + update config.guess, config.sub from http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git

ncurses 5.9 - patch 20130309 + amend change to toe.c for reading from /dev/zero, to ensure that there is a buffer for the temporary filename (cf: 20120324). + regenerated html manpages. + fix typo in terminfo.head (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20130302). + updated some autoconf macros: + CF_ACVERSION_CHECK, from byacc 1.9 20130304 + CF_INTEL_COMPILER, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE from luit 2.0-20130217 + add configure option --with-cxx-shared to permit building libncurses++ as a shared library when using g++, e.g., the same limitations as libtool but better integrated with the usual build configuration (Redhat 911540). + modify MKkey_defs.sh to filter out build-path which was unnecessarily shown in curses.h (Debian #689131).
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20120225 + modify configure script to allow creating dll's for MinGW when cross-compiling. + add --enable-string-hacks option to control whether strlcat and strlcpy may be used. The same issue applies to OpenBSD's warnings about snprintf, noting that this function is weakly standardized. + add configure checks for strlcat, strlcpy and snprintf, to help reduce bogus warnings with OpenBSD builds. + build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 to supply consistent intptr_t declaration (cf:20111231) + update config.guess, config.sub
