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 20171021 + modify test/view.c to expand tabs using the ncurses library rather than in the test-program. + remove very old SIGWINCH example in test/view.c, just use KEY_RESIZE. + add -T, -e, -f -m options to "dots" test-programs. + fix a few typos in usage-messages for test-programs.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170930 + fix a symbol conflict that made ncurses.c C/c menu not work with Solaris xpg4 curses. + add refresh() call to dots_mvcur.c, needed to use mvcur() with Solaris xpg4 curses after calling newterm(). + minor fixes for configure script from work on ncurses-examples and tin. + improve animation in test/xmas.c by adding a time-delay in blinkit(). + modify several test programs to reflect that ncurses honors existing signal handlers in initscr(), while other implementations do not. + modify bs.c to make it easier to quit. + change ncurses-examples to use attr_t vs chtype to follow X/Open documentation more closely since Solaris xpg4-curses uses different values for WA_xxx vs A_xxx that rely on attr_t being an unsigned short. Tru64 aka OSF1, HPUX, AIX did as ncurses does, equating the two sets.
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 20170513 + add test/picsmap.c to fill in some testing issues not met by dots. The initial version reads X bitmap (".xbm") files. + repair logic which forces a repaint where a color-pair's content is changed (cf: 20170311). + improve tracemunch, showing screenXX pointers as names.
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 6.0 - patch 20170408 + change logic in wins_nwstr() to avoid addressing data past the output of mbstowcs(). + correct a call to setcchar() in Data_Entry_w() from 20131207 changes. + fix minor memory-leaks in test-programs. + further improve ifdef in term_entry.h for internal definitions not used by tack.
ncurses 6.0 - patch 20160820 + update tput manual page to reflect changes to manipulate terminal modes by sharing functions with tset. + add the terminal-mode parts of "reset" (aka tset) to the "tput reset" command, making the two almost the same except for window-size. + adapt logic used in dialog "--keep-tite" option for test/filter.c as "-a" option. When set, test/filter attempts to suppress the alternate screen. + correct a typo in interix entry -TD
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20140809 + modify declarations for user-data pointers in C++ binding to use reinterpret_cast to facilitate converting typed pointers to void* in user's application (patch by Adam Jiang). + regenerated html manpages. + add note regarding cause and effect for TERM in ncurses manpage, having noted clueless verbiage in Terminal.app's "help" file which reverses cause/effect. + remove special fallback definition for NCURSES_ATTR_T, since macros have resolved type-mismatches using casts (cf: 970412). + fixes for win_driver.c: + handle repainting on endwin/refresh combination. + implement beep(). + minor cleanup.
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 20130427 + fix clang 3.2 warning in progs/dump_entry.c + drop AC_TYPE_SIGNAL check; ncurses relies on c89 and later.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20130216 + modify test/testcurs.c to work with mouse for ncurses as it does for pdcurses. + modify test/knight.c to work with mouse for pdcurses as it does for ncurses. + modify internal recursion in wgetch() which handles cooked mode to check if the call to wgetnstr() returned an error. This can happen when both nocbreak() and nodelay() are set, for instance (report by Nils Christopher Brause) (cf: 960418). + fixes for issues found by Coverity: + add a check for valid position in ClearToEOS() + fix in lib_twait.c when --enable-wgetch-events is used, pointer use after free. + improve a limit-check in make_hash.c + fix a memory leak in hashed_db.c
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20121215 + fix several warnings from clang 3.1 --analyze, includes correcting a null-pointer check in _nc_mvcur_resume. + correct display of double-width characters with MinGW port (report by Erwin Waterlander). + replace MinGW's wcrtomb(), fixing a problem with _nc_viscbuf > fixes based on Coverity report: + correct coloring in test/bs.c + correct check for 8-bit value in _nc_insert_ch(). + remove dead code in progs/tset.c, test/linedata.h + add null-pointer checks in lib_tracemse.c, panel.priv.h, and some test-programs.
ncurses 5.9 - patch 20121208 + modify test/knight.c to show the number of choices possible for each position in automove option, e.g., to allow user to follow Warnsdorff's rule to solve the puzzle. + modify test/hanoi.c to show the minimum number of moves possible for the given number of tiles (prompted by patch by Lucas Gioia). > fixes based on Coverity report: + remove a few redundant checks. + correct logic in test/bs.c, when randomly placing a specific type of ship. + check return value from remove/unlink in tic. + check return value from sscanf in test/ncurses.c + fix a null dereference in c++/cursesw.cc + fix two instances of uninitialized variables when configuring for the terminal driver. + correct scope of variable used in SetSafeOutcWrapper macro. + set umask when calling mkstemp in tic. + initialize wbkgrndset() temporary variable when extended-colors are used.
