ncurses 6.4 - patch 20230429 + revise recent change to _nc_write_entry to isolate it to a Cygwin bug (cf: 20230311) + amend fix for wgetnstr, wgetn_wstr to use cbreak mode unless raw mode was set (cf: 20210522). + fix a few warnings from cppcheck, etc. + correct copy/paste error in nc_access.h (report by Werner Fink).
ncurses 6.2 - patch 20210213 + add test/back_ground.c, to exercise the wide-character background functions. + add a check in _nc_build_wch() in case the background character is a wide-character, rather than a new part of a multibyte character. + improve tracemunch's coverage of form/menu/panel libraries. + improve tracemunch's checking/reporting the type for the first parameter, e.g., "WINDOW*" rather than "#1".
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 20170624 + modify c++/etip.h.in to accommodate deprecation of throw() and throws() in c++17 (prompted by patch by Romain Geissler). + remove some incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes (report by Allen Hewes). + add test-programs for termattrs and term_attrs. + modify _nc_outc_wrapper to use the standard output if the screen was not initialized, rather than returning an error. + improve checks for low-level terminfo functions when the terminal has not been initialized (Redhat #1345963). + modify make_hash to allow building with address-sanitizer, assuming that --disable-leaks is configured. + amend changes for number_format() in 20170506 to avoid undefined behavior when shifting (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
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 5.9 - patch 20140927 + implement curs_set in win_driver.c + implement flash in win_driver.c + fix an infinite loop in win_driver.c if the command-window loses focus. + improve the non-buffered mode, i.e., NCURSES_CONSOLE2, of win_driver.c by temporarily changing the buffer-size to match the window-size to eliminate the scrollback. Also enforce a minimum screen-size of 24x80 in the non-buffered mode. + modify generated misc/Makefile to suppress install.data from the dependencies if the --disable-db-install option is used, compensating for the top-level makefile changes used to add ncurses*-config in the 20140920 changes (report by Steven Honeyman).
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20140308 + modify ifdef in read_entry.c to handle the case where NCURSES_USE_DATABASE is not defined (patch by Xin Li). + add cast in form_driver_w() to fix ARM build (patch by Xin Li). + add logic to win_driver.c to save/restore screen contents when not allocating a console-buffer (cf: 20140215).
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 5.9 - patch 20131116 + add special case to configure script to move _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED definition from CPPFLAGS to CFLAGS if it happens to be needed for Solaris, because g++ errors with that definition (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15268). + correct logic in infocmp's -i option which was intended to ignore strings which correspond to function-keys as candidates for piecing together initialization- or reset-strings. The problem dates to 1.9.7a, but was overlooked until changes in -Wlogical-op warnings for gcc 4.8 (report by David Binderman). + updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, adding checks for -Wextra, -Wignored-qualifiers and -Wlogical-op + updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, moving checks for -Wextra and -Wdeclaration-after-statement into the macro, and adding checks for -Wignored-qualifiers, -Wlogical-op and -Wvarargs + updated CF_CURSES_UNCTRL_H and CF_SHARED_OPTS macros from ongoing work on cdk. + update config.sub from http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20130112 + correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts. + drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they are unused in the current driver model. + modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses library. + modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage. + amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering. The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674).
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20111022 + correct logic for discarding mouse events, retaining the partial events used to build up click, double-click, etc, until needed (cf: 20110917). + fix configure script to avoid creating unused Ada95 makefile when gnat does not work. + cleanup width-related gcc 3.4.3 warnings for 64-bit platform, for the internal functions of libncurses. The external interface of courses uses bool, which still produces these warnings.
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 20090822 + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20090725 + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20090704 + remove wide-character checks from unctrl() (patch by Clemens Ladisch). + revise wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to eliminate dependency on unctrl(). + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20090523 + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20090510 + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20090425
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20090228 + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete). + modify declaration of cur_term when broken-linker is used, but enable-reentrant is not, to match pre-5.7 (report by Charles Wilson).
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.
