ncurses 6.1 - patch 20181124 + check --with-fallbacks option to ensure there is a value, and add the fallback information to top-level Makefile summary. + add some traces in initialization to show whether a fallback entry is used. + build-fix for test/movewindow with ncurses-examples on Solaris. + add "-l" option to test/background, to dump screen contents in a form that lets different curses implementations be compared. + modify the initialization checks for mouse so that the xterm+sm+1006 block will work with terminal descriptions not mentioning xterm (report by Tomas Janousek).
ncurses 6.1 - patch 20180908 + document --with-pcre2 configure option in INSTALL. + improve workaround for special case in PutAttrChar() where a cell is marked as alternate-character set, to handle a case where the character in the cell does not correspond to any of the ASCII fallbacks (report by Leon Winter, cf: 20180505). + amend change to form library which attempted to avoid unnecessary update of cursor position in non-public fields, to simply disable output in this case (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20180414). + improve check for LINE_MAX runtime limit, to accommodate broken implementations of sysconf().

ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170701 + modify update_getenv() in db_iterator.c to ensure that environment variables which are not initially set will be checked later if an application happens to set them (patch by Guillaume Maudoux). + remove initialization-check for calling napms() in the term-driver configuration; none is needed. + add help-screen to test/test_getstr.c and test/test_get_wstr.c + improve compatibility between different configurations of new_prescr, fixing a case with threaded code and term-driver where c++/demo did not work (cf: 20160213). + the fixes for Redhat #1464685 obscured a problem subsequently reported in Redhat #1464687; the given test-case was no longer reproducible. Testing without the fixes for the earlier reports showed a problem with buffer overflow in dump_entry.c, which is addressed by reducing the use of a fixed-size buffer. + add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input (Redhat #1464684, #1464685, #1464686, #1464691). + alloc_entry.c, add a check for a null-pointer. + parse_entry.c, add several checks for valid pointers as well as one check to ensure that a single character on a line is not treated as the 2-character termcap short-name. + fix a memory leak in delscreen() (report by Bai Junq). + improve tracemunch, showing thread identifiers as names. + fix a use-after-free in NCursesMenu::~NCursesMenu() + further amend incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes (report by Allen Hewes).

ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170617 + fill in some places where TERMTYPE2 vs TERMTYPE was not used (report by Allen Hewes). + use ExitTerminfo() internally in error-exits for ncurses' setupterm to help with leak checking. + use ExitProgram() in error-exit from initscr() to help with leak checking. + review test-programs, adding checks for cases where the terminal cannot be initialized.
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.

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 20170311 + modify vt100 rs2 string to reset vt52 mode and scrolling regions (report/analysis by Robert King) -TD + add vt100+4bsd building block, use that for older terminals rather than "vt100" which is now mostly used as a building block for terminal emulators -TD + correct a few spelling errors in terminfo.src comments -TD + add fbterm -TD + fix a typo in ncurses.c test_attr legend (patch by Petr Vanek). + changed internal colorpair_t to a struct, eliminating an internal 8-bit limit on colors + add ncurses/new_pair.h + add ncurses/base/new_pair.c with alloc_pair(), find_pair() and free_pair() functions + add test/demo_new_pair.c
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170107 + amend changes for tput to reset tty modes to "sane" if the program is run as "reset", like tset. Likewise, ensure that tset sends either reset- or init-strings. + improve manual page descriptions of tput init/reset and tset/reset, to make it easier to see how they are similar and different. + move a static result from key_name() to _nc_globals + modify _nc_get_screensize to allow for use_env() and use_tioctl() state to be per-screen when sp-funcs are configured, better matching the behavior when using the term-driver configuration. + improve cross-references in manual pages for often used functions + move SCREEN field for use_tioctl() data before the ncursesw fields, and limit that to the sp-funcs configuration to improve termlib compatibility (cf: 20120714). + correct order of initialization for traces in use_env() and use_tioctl() versus first trace calls.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20161224 + correct parmeters for copywin call in _nc_Synchronize_Attributes() (patch by Leon Winter). + improve color-handling section in terminfo manual page (prompted by patch by Mihail Konev). + modify programs clear, tput and tset to pass the actual tty file descriptor to setupterm rather than the standard output, making padding work.
