ncurses 6.2 - patch 20210320 + improve parameter-checking in tput by forcing it to analyze any extended string capability, e.g., as used in the Cs and Ms capabilities of the tmux description (report by Brad Town, cf: 20200531). + remove an incorrect free in the fallback (non-checking) version of _nc_free_and_exit (report by Miroslav Lichvar). + correct use-ordering in some xterm-direct flavors -TD + add hterm, hterm-256color (Mike Frysinger) + if the build-time compiler accepts c11's _Noreturn keyword, use that rather than gcc's attribute. + change configure-check for gcc's noreturn attribute to assume it is a prefix rather than suffix, matching c11's _Noreturn convention. + add "lint" rule to c++/Makefile, e.g., with cppcheck.
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 20171007 + modify "-T" option of clear and tput to call use_tioctl() to obtain the operating system's notion of the screensize if possible. + review/repair some exit-codes for tput, making usage-message exit with 2 rather than 1, and a failure to open terminal 4+errno. + amend check in tput, tabs and clear to allow those to use the database-only features in cron if a -T option gives a suitable terminal name (report by Lauri Tirkkonen). + correct an ifdef in test/ncurses.c for systems with soft-keys but not slk_color(). + regenerate man-html documentation.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170819 + update "iterm" entry -TD + add "iterm2" entry (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD + regenerate llib-* files. + regenerate HTML manpages. + improve picsmap test-program: + reduce memory used for tsearch + add report in log file showing cumulative color coverage. + add -x option to clear/tput to make the E3 extension optional (cf: 20130622). + add options -T and -V to clear command for compatibility with tput. + add usage message to clear command (Debian #371855). + improve usage messages for tset and tput. + minor fixes to "RDGB" extension and reset_color_pairs().
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.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20161022 + modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the screensize if it was already set in the system, to improve tabstop setting which relies upon knowing the actual screensize. + add functionality of tset -w to tput, like the "-c" feature this is not optional in tput. + add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput. + improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow for transformed names. + split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20130622 + modify the clear program to take into account the E3 extended capability to clear the terminal's scrollback buffer (patch by Miroslav Lichvar, Redhat #815790). + clarify in resizeterm manpage that LINES and COLS are updated. + updated ansi example in terminfo.tail, correct misordered example of sgr. + fix other doclifter warnings for manpages + remove unnecessary ".ta" in terminfo.tail, add missing ".fi" (patch by Eric Raymond).
ncurses 5.6 - patch 20071013 + modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built without libtic. The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on that library. + add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger). + fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat Bugzilla #310071, patches by Miroslav Lichvar). + improve performance of NCURSES_CHAR_EQ code (patch by Miroslav Lichvar). + update/improve mlterm and rxvt terminfo entries, e.g., for the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
