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 20210327 + build-fixes for Solaris10 /bin/sh + fix some cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses test-programs, form and menu libraries.
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 6.1 - patch 20191214 + add exit_curses() and exit_terminfo() to replace internal symbols for leak-checking.
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 20170909 + improve wide-character implementation of myADDNSTR() in frm_driver.c, which was inconsistent with the normal implementation. + save/restore cursor position in Undo_Justification(), matching behavior of Buffer_To_Window() (report by Leon Winter). + modify test/knight to provide the "slow" solution for small screens using "R", noting that Warnsdorf's method is easily done with "a". + modify several test-programs which call use_default_colors() to consistently do this only if "-d" option is given. + additional changes to test with non-standard variants of curses: + modify a loop limit in firework.c to work around absense of limit checks in some libraries. + fill the last row of a window with "?" in firstlast if waddch does not return ERR on the lower-right corner. + add checks in test/configure for some functions not in 4.3BSD curses. + fix a regression in test/configure (cf: 20170826).
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 20100501 + correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for begy/begx values (patch by David Benjamin). + fix most compiler warnings from clang. + amend build-fix for OpenSolaris, to ensure that a system header is included in curses.h before testing feature symbols, since they may be defined by that route.
ncurses 5.7 - patch 20090829 + workaround for bug in g++ 4.1-4.4 warnings for wattrset() macro on amd64 (Debian #542031). + fix typo in curs_mouse.3x (Debian #429198).
ncurses 5.6 - patch 20080804 + modify _nc_panelhook() data to account for a permanent memory leak. + fix memory leaks in test/demo_menus + fix most warnings from Klocwork tool (report by Larry Zhou). + modify configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to add case for "dragonfly" from xterm #236 changes. + modify configure script --with-hashed-db to let $LIBS override the search for the db library (prompted by report by Samson Pierre).
ncurses 5.6 - patch 20080412 + change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm. + add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their window parameters. + add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN pointer. + finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.
