ncurses 6.2 - patch 20210418 + improve CF_LINK_FUNCS by ensuring that the source-file is closed before linking to the target. + add "check" rules for headers in c++, progs and test-directories. + build-fix for termsort module when configured with termcap (reports by Rajeev V Pillai, Rudi Heitbaum).
ncurses 6.2 - patch 20210417 + extend --disable-pkg-ldflags option to also control whether $LDFLAGS from the build is provided in -config and .pc files (Debian #986764). + fix some cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses and c++ libraries and progs directory. + fix off-by-one limit for tput's processing command-line arguments (patch by Hadrien Lacour).
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 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 6.0 - patch 20160806 + improve CF_GNU_SOURCE configure macro to optionally define _DEFAULT_SOURCE work around a nuisance in recent glibc releases. + move the terminfo-specific parts of tput's "reset" function into the shared reset_cmd.c, making the two forms of reset use the same strings. + split-out the terminal initialization functions from tset as progs/reset_cmd.c, as part of changes to merge the reset-feature with tput.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20140524 + fix typo in ncurses manpage for the NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE environment variable. + improve discussion of input-echoing in curs_getch.3x + clarify discussion in curs_addch.3x of wrapping. + modify parametrized.h to make fln non-padded. + correct several entries which had termcap-style padding used in terminfo: adm21, aj510, alto-h19, att605-pc, x820 -TD + correct syntax for padding in some entries: dg211, h19 -TD + correct ti924-8 which had confused padding versus octal escapes -TD + correct padding in sbi entry -TD + fix an old bug in the termcap emulation; "%i" was ignored in tparm() because the parameters to be incremented were already on the internal stack (report by Corinna Vinschen). + modify tic's "-c" option to take into account the "-C" option to activate additional checks which compare the results from running tparm() on the terminfo expressions versus the translated termcap expressions. + modify tic to allow it to read from FIFOs (report by Matthieu Fronton, cf: 20120324). > patches by Nicolas Boulenguez: + explicit dereferences to suppress some style warnings. + when c_varargs_to_ada.c includes its header, use double quotes instead of <>. + samples/ncurses2-util.adb: removed unused with clause. The warning was removed by an obsolete pragma. + replaced Unreferenced pragmas with Warnings (Off). The latter, available with older GNATs, needs no configure test. This also replaces 3 untested Unreferenced pragmas. + simplified To_C usage in trace handling. Using two parameters allows some basic formatting, and avoids a warning about security with some compiler flags. + for generated Ada sources, replace many snippets with one pure package. + removed C_Chtype and its conversions. + removed C_AttrType and its conversions. + removed conversions between int, Item_Option_Set, Menu_Option_Set. + removed int, Field_Option_Set, Item_Option_Set conversions. + removed C_TraceType, Attribute_Option_Set conversions. + replaced C.int with direct use of Eti_Error, now enumerated. As it was used in a case statement, values were tested by the Ada compiler to be consecutive anyway. + src/Makefile.in: remove duplicate stanza + only consider using a project for shared libraries. + style. Silent gnat-4.9 warning about misplaced "then". + generate shared library project to honor ADAFLAGS, LDFLAGS.
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20100123 + for term-driver configuration, ensure that the driver pointer is initialized in setupterm so that terminfo/termcap programs work. + amend fix for Debian #542031 to ensure that wattrset() returns only OK or ERR, rather than the attribute value (report by Miroslav Lichvar). + reorder WINDOWLIST to put WINDOW data after SCREEN pointer, making _nc_screen_of() compatible between normal/wide libraries again (patch by Miroslav Lichvar) + review/fix include-dependencies in modules files (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20090314 + modify scripts to generate ncurses*-config and pc-files to add dependency for tinfo library (patch by Charles Wilson). + improve comparison of program-names when checking for linked flavors such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix (reports by Charles Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing list). + suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static libc, and does not switch back to dynamic mode before finishing the libraries (reports by Joel Bertrand, Alan Pae). + minor fixes to Intel compiler warning checks in configure script. + modify _nc_leaks_tinfo() so leak-checking in test/railroad.c works. + modify set_curterm() to make broken-linker configuration work with changes from 20090228 (report by Charles Wilson).
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20081115 + change several terminfo entries to make consistent use of ANSI clear-all-tabs -TD + add "tabs" program (prompted by Debian #502260). + add configure --without-manpages option (request by Mike Frysinger).
ncurses 5.6 - patch 20061223 + modify configure script to omit the tic (terminfo compiler) support from ncurses library if --without-progs option is given. + modify install rule for ncurses5-config to do this via "install.libs" + modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath. + update config.guess, config.sub
