ncurses 6.4 - patch 20230917 + improve formatting of manpages (integrated patches by Branden Robinson). + correct limit for name-length in write_entry.c (report/testcase by Luna Saphie Mittelbach). + limit delays to 30 seconds, i.e., padding delays in terminfo, as well as napms() and delay_output() functions. + improve a few pointer-checks. + improve parsing in _nc_msec_cost, allowing a single decimal point. + improve formatting of manpages (patches by Branden Robinson), for captoinfo.1m and terminfo.5
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 20160528 + further workaround for PIE/PIC breakage which causes gpm to not link. + fix most cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses library.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20130406 + improve parameter checking in copywin(). + modify configure script to work around OS X's "libtool" program, to choose glibtool instead. At the same time, chance the autoconf macro to look for a "tool" rather than a "prog", to help with potential use in cross-compiling. + separate the rpath usage for c++ library from demo program (Redhat #911540) + update/correct header-dependencies in c++ makefile (report by Werner Fink). + add --with-cxx-shared to dpkg-script, as done for rpm-script.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20130119 + fixes for issues found by Coverity: + fix memory leak in safe_sprintf.c + add check for return-value in tty_update.c + correct initialization for -s option in test/view.c + add check for numeric overflow in lib_instr.c + improve error-checking in copywin + add advice in infocmp manpage for termcap users (Debian #698469). + add "-y" option to test/demo_termcap and test/demo_terminfo to demonstrate behavior with/without extended capabilities. + updated termcap manpage to document legacy termcap behavior for matching capability names. + modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate legacy applications as well as to improve compatbility with BSD 4.2 termcap implementations (Debian #698299) (cf: 980725).
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20091024 + quiet some pedantic gcc warnings. + modify _nc_wgetch() to check for a -1 in the fifo, e.g., after a SIGWINCH, and discard that value, to avoid confusing application (patch by Eygene Ryabinkin, FreeBSD bin/136223).
ncurses 5.6 - patch 20080607 + finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr(). That allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a window which is being used in a wgetch(). + simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
ncurses 5.6 - patch 20080412 + change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm. + add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their window parameters. + add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN pointer. + finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.
