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 20170401 + minor fixes for vt100+4bsd, e.g., delay in sgr for consistency -TD + add smso for env230, to match sgr -TD + remove p7/protect from sgr in fbterm -TD + drop setf/setb from fbterm; setaf/setab are enough -TD + make xterm-pcolor sgr consistent with other capabilities -TD + add rmxx/smxx ECMA-48 strikeout extension to tmux and xterm-basic (discussion with Nicholas Marriott) + add test-programs sp_tinfo and extended_color + modify no-leaks code for lib_cur_term.c to account for the tgetent() cache. + modify setupterm() to save original tty-modes so that erasechar() works as expected. Also modify _nc_setupscreen() to avoid redundant calls to get original tty-modes. + modify set_curterm() to update ttytype[] data used by longname(). + modify wattr_set() and wattr_get() to return ERR if win-parameter is null, as documented. + improve cast used for null-pointer checks in header macros, to reduce compiler warnings. + modify several functions, using the reserved "opts" parameter to pass color- and pair-values larger than 16-bits: + getcchar(), setcchar(), slk_attr_set(), vid_puts(), wattr_get(), wattr_set(), wchgat(), wcolor_set(). + Other functions call these with the corresponding altered behavior, including chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat(), slk_color_on(), slk_color_off(), vid_attr(). + add new functions for manipulating color- and pair-values larger than 16-bits. These are extended_color_content(), extended_pair_content(), extended_slk_color(), init_extended_color(), init_extended_pair(), and the corresponding sp-funcs.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20161008 + adjust size in infocmp/tic to work with strlcpy. + fix configure script to record when strlcat is found on OpenBSD. + build-fix for "recent" OpenBSD vs baudrate.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20160827 + add "v" menu entry to test/ncurses.c to show baudrate and other values. + add "newer" baudrate symbols from Linux and FreeBSD to progs/tset.c, lib_baudrate.c + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro: + add "uclinux" to case for "linux" (patch by Yann E. Morin) + modify _GNU_SOURCE for cygwin headers, tested with cygwin 2.3, 2.5 (patch by Corinna Vinschen, from changes to tin). + improve CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS macro to allow for compiler wrappers such as "ccache" (report by Enrico Scholz). + update config.guess, config.sub from http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
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 6.0 - patch 20150613 + fix overflow warning for OSX with lib_baudrate.c (cf: 20010630). + modify script used to generate map/sym files to mark 5.9.20150530 as the last "5.9" version, and regenerated the files. That makes the files not use ".current" for the post-5.9 symbols. This also corrects the label for _nc_sigprocmask used in when weak symbols are configured for the ncursest/ncursestw libraries (prompted by discussion with Sven Joachim). + fix typo in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim). "--with-abi-version=5" option.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20150418 + avoid a blank line in output from tabs program by ending it with a carriage return as done in FreeBSD (patch by James Clarke). + build-fix for the "--enable-ext-putwin" feature when not using wide characters (report by Werner Fink). + modify autoconf macros to use scripting improvement from xterm. + add -brtl option to compiler options on AIX 5-7, needed to link with the shared libraries. + add --with-extra-suffix option to help with installing nonconflicting ncurses6 packages, e.g., avoiding header- and library-conflicts. NOTE: as a side-effect, this renames adacurses-config to adacurses5-config and adacursesw-config to adacursesw5-config + modify debian/rules test package to suffix programs with "6". + clarify in curs_inopts.3x that window-specific settings do not inherit into new windows.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20140426 + add --disable-lib-suffixes option (adapted from patch by Juergen Pfeifer). + merge some changes from Juergen Pfeifer's work with MSYS2, to simplify later merging: + use NC_ISATTY() macro for isatty() in library + add _nc_mingw_isatty() and related functions to windows-driver + rename terminal driver entrypoints to simplify grep's + remove a check in the sp-funcs flavor of newterm() which allowed only the first call to newterm() to succeed (report by Thomas Beierlein, cf: 20090927).
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20131214 + modify configure-script/ifdef's to allow OLD_TTY feature to be suppressed if the type of ospeed is configured using the option --with-ospeed to not be a short. By default, it is a short for termcap-compatibility (adapted from suggestion by Christian Weisgerber). + correct a typo in _nc_baudrate() (patch by Christian Weisgerber, cf: 20061230). + fix a few -Wlogical-op warnings. + updated llib-l* files.
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.
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 5.7 - patch 20090510 + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20090214 + add configure script --enable-sp-funcs to enable the new set of extended functions. + start integrating patches by Juergen Pfeifer: + add extended functions which specify the SCREEN pointer for several curses functions which use the global SP (these are incomplete; some internals work is needed to complete these). + add special cases to configure script for MinGW port.
ncurses 5.6 - patch 20080628 + correct some ifdef's needed for the broken-linker configuration. + make debugging library's $BAUDRATE feature work for termcap interface. + make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface (prompted by comment on FreeBSD mailing list). + add screen.mlterm terminfo entry -TD + improve mlterm and mlterm+pcfkeys terminfo entries -TD
ncurses 5.6 - patch 20080621 + regenerated html documentation. + expand manpage description of parameters for form_driver() and menu_driver() (prompted by discussion with Adam Spragg). + add null-pointer checks for cur_term in baudrate() and def_shell_mode(), def_prog_mode() + fix some memory leaks in delscreen() and wide acs.
ncurses 5.6 - patch 20071020 + continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex for use_window(). + add mrxvt terminfo entry, add/fix xterm building blocks for modified cursor keys -TD + compile with FreeBSD "contemporary" TTY interface (patch by Rong-En Fan).
ncurses 5.6 - patch 20070310 + increase size of array in _nc_visbuf2n() to make "tic -v" work properly in its similar_sgr() function (report/analysis by Peter Santoro). + add --enable-reentrant configure option for ongoing changes to implement a reentrant version of ncurses: + libraries are suffixed with "t" + wrap several global variables (curscr, newscr, stdscr, ttytype, COLORS, COLOR_PAIRS, COLS, ESCDELAY, LINES and TABSIZE) as functions returning values stored in SCREEN or cur_term. + move some initialization (LINES, COLS) from lib_setup.c, i.e., setupterm() to _nc_setupscreen(), i.e., newterm().
ncurses 5.6 - patch 20061230 + modify configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines (report by sci-fi@hush.ai). + modify some modules to allow them to be reentrant if _REENTRANT is defined: lib_baudrate.c, resizeterm.c (local data only) + eliminate static data from some modules: add_tries.c, hardscroll.c, lib_ttyflags.c, lib_twait.c + improve manpage install to add aliases for the transformed program names, e.g., from --program-prefix. + used linklint to verify links in the HTML documentation, made fixes to manpages as needed. + fix a typo in curs_mouse.3x (report by William McBrine). + fix install-rule for ncurses5-config to make the bin-directory.
