ncurses 6.4 - patch 20230812 + add/use putty+cursor to reflect amending of modified cursor-keys in 2021 -TD + add ecma+strikeout to putty -TD + add functions to query tty-flags in SCREEN (request by Bill Gray).
ncurses 6.2 - patch 20210821 + improve tparm implementation of %P and %g, more closely matching SVr4 terminfo. + move internals of TERMINAL structure to new header term.priv.h + add "check" rule for ncurses/Makefile + corrected tsl capability for terminator -TD + add check in tic to report instances where tparm would detect an error in an expression (cf: 20201010). + correct a few places where SP->_pair_limit was used rather than SP->_pair_alloc (cf: 20170812). + fix missing "%d" for setaf/setab code 8-15 in xterm+direct16 (report by Florian Weimer) -TD + fix some documentation errata from OpenBSD changes. + update config.sub
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 20170422 + build-fix for termcap-configuration (report by Chi-Hsuan Yen). + improve terminfo manual page discussion of control- and graphics- characters. + remove tic warning about "^?" in string capabilities, which was marked as an extension (cf: 20000610, 20110820); however all Unix implementations support this and X/Open Curses does not address it. On the other hand, termcap never did support this feature. + correct missing comma-separator between string capabilities in icl6402 and m2-nam -TD + restore rmir/smir in ansi+idc to better match original ansiterm+idc, add alias ansiterm (report by Robert King). + amend an old check for ambiguous use of "ma" in terminfo versus a termcap use, if the capability is cancelled to treat it as number. + correct a case in _nc_captoinfo() which read "%%" and emitted "%". + modify sscanf calls in _nc_infotocap() for patterns "%{number}%+%c" and "%'char'%+%c" to check that the final character is really 'c', avoiding a case in icl6404 which cannot be converted to termcap. + in _nc_infotocap(), add a check to ensure that terminfo "^?" is not written to termcap, because the BSDs did not implement that. + in _nc_tic_expand() and _nc_infotocap(), improve string-length check when deciding whether to use "^X" or "\xxx" format for control characters, to make the output of tic/infocmp more predictable. + limit termcap "%d" width to 2 digits on input, and use "%2" in preference to "%02" on output. + correct terminfo/termcap conversion of "%02" and "%03" into "%2" and "%3"; the result repeated the last character. + add man/scr_dump.5 to document screen-dump format.
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 20161015 + amend internal use of tputs to consistently use the number of lines affected, e.g., for insert/delete character operations. While merging terminfo source early in 1995, several descriptions used the "*" proportional delay for these operations, prompting a change in doupdate. + regenerate llib-* files. + regenerate HTML manpages. + fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20150815 + disallow "no" as a possible value for "--with-shlib-version" option, overlooked in cleanup-changes for 20000708 (report by Tommy Alex). + update release notes in INSTALL. + regenerate llib-* files to help with review for release notes.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20150725 + updated llib-* files. + build-fixes for ncurses library "test_progs" rule. + use alternate workaround for gcc 5.x feature (adapted from patch by Mikhail Peselnik). + add status line to tmux via xterm+sl (patch by Nicholas Marriott). + fixes for st 0.5 from testing with tack -TD + review/improve several manual pages to break up wall-of-text: curs_add_wch.3x, curs_attr.3x, curs_bkgd.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x, curs_getcchar.3x, curs_getch.3x, curs_kernel.3x, curs_mouse.3x, curs_outopts.3x, curs_overlay.3x, curs_pad.3x, curs_termattrs.3x curs_trace.3x, and curs_window.3x
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20120630 + add --enable-interop to sample package scripts (suggested by Juergen Pfeifer). + update CF_PATH_SYNTAX macro, from mawk changes. + modify mk-0th.awk to allow for generating llib-ltic, etc., though some work is needed on cproto to work with lib_gen.c to update llib-lncurses. + remove redundant getenv() cal in database-iterator leftover from cleanup in 20120622 changes (report by Sven Joachim).
