ncurses 6.3 - patch 20221203 + add -h usage and -V version options to the test-programs which use getopt. + use "command -v" rather than "type" in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in to fix a portability issue (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez). + update ncurses-howto, more documentation fixes along with corrections to example programs.
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 6.1 - patch 20191207 + fix a few warnings for test-package builds + add curses_trace(), to replace trace().
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 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 20130427 + fix clang 3.2 warning in progs/dump_entry.c + drop AC_TYPE_SIGNAL check; ncurses relies on c89 and later.
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20101113 + compiler warning fixes for test programs. + various build-fixes for test-programs with pdcurses. + updated configure checks for X packages in test/configure from xterm #267 changes. + add configure check to gnatmake, to accommodate cygwin.
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20091010 + supply a null-terminator to buffer in _nc_viswibuf(). + fix a sign-extension bug in unget_wch() (report by Mike Gran). + minor fixes to error-returns in default function for tputs, as well as in lib_screen.c
ncurses 5.6 - patch 20080816 + add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature. + add configure-check for availability of weak symbols. + modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes, etc. This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr Werner Fink). + add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink). + document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted by comments by Samuel Thibault). + fix remaining warnings from Klocwork report.
ncurses 5.6 - patch 20080223 + fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex lock/unlock when termlib was built separately. + avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often is implemented to suspend the entire process.
ncurses 5.6 - patch 20070721 + change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line (cf: 970315). + add test/test_get_wstr.c + add test/test_getstr.c + add test/test_inwstr.c + add test/test_instr.c
