31 This is a log of changes that ncurses has gone through since Zeyd started
32 working with Pavel Curtis' original work, pcurses, in 1992.
34 Changes through 1.9.9e are recorded by Zeyd M Ben-Halim.
35 Changes since 1.9.9e are recorded by Thomas E Dickey.
37 Contributors include those who have provided patches (even small ones), as well
38 as those who provide useful information (bug reports, analyses). Changes with
39 no cited author are the work of Thomas E Dickey (TD).
41 A few contributors are given in this file by their initials.
42 They each account for one percent or more of the changes since 1.9.9e.
43 See the AUTHORS file for the corresponding full names.
45 Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions;
46 it is not possible to add this information.

67 strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
68 + fix build for --disable-sigwinch
69 + add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
70 GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
71 + disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
72 "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
73 that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.

109 + update test/configure script.
110 + adapt ifdef's from library to make test/view.c build when mbrtowc()
111 is unavailable, e.g., with HPUX 10.20.
112 + add configure check for wcsrtombs, mbsrtowcs, which are used in
113 test/ncurses.c, and use wcstombs, mbstowcs instead if available,
114 fixing build of ncursew for HPUX 11.00
117 + fixes to make Ada95 demo_panels() example work.
118 + modify Ada95 'rain' test program to accept keyboard commands like the

124 + consistently use NCURSES_BOOL in lib_gen.c
125 + filter #line's from lib_gen.c
126 + change delimiter in MKlib_gen.sh from '%' to '@', to avoid
127 substitution by IBM xlc to '#' as part of its extensions to digraphs.
128 + update config.guess, config.sub from
129 http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
130 (caveat - its maintainer removed support for older Linux systems).
133 + modify configure check for pthread library to work with OSF/1 5.1,
134 which uses #define's to associate its header and library.
135 + use pthread_mutexattr_init() for initializing pthread_mutexattr_t,
136 makes threaded code work on HPUX 11.23
137 + fix a bug in demo_menus in freeing menus (cf: 20080804).
138 + modify configure script for the case where tic library is used (and
139 possibly renamed) to remove its dependency upon ncurses/ncursew
140 library (patch by Dr Werner Fink).
141 + correct manpage for menu_fore() which gave wrong default for
142 the attribute used to display a selected entry (report by Mike Gran).
143 + add Eterm-256color, Eterm-88color and rxvt-88color (prompted by
147 + add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
148 + add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
149 + modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
150 applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
151 etc. This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
153 + add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
154 using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
155 + document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted

206 + change CC_SHARED_OPTS from -KPIC to -xcode=pic32 for Solaris.
207 + add "-shared" option to MK_SHARED_LIB for gcc on Solaris (report
211 + finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the
212 window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr(). That
213 allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with
214 some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a
215 window which is being used in a wgetch().
216 + simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
219 + modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
220 parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
222 + factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
223 + add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a
224 particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
225 + add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a
226 particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
227 + add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate
228 its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN.
229 + add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in
230 preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer.
233 + modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
234 screen which must be updated.
235 + wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and
236 always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm().
237 + restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch
241 + modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and
242 --enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from
244 + corrected manpage description of setcchar() (discussion with
246 + fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line
247 (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
250 + modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix
251 overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD
252 + modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the
254 + simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and
258 + continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate
259 multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens.
260 + fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran).
263 + add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD
264 + modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from
265 being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings.
266 + improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout.
269 + change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm.
270 + add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their
272 + add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN
274 + finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.
277 + begin table in curs_thread.3x manpage describing the scope of data
278 used by each function (or symbol) for threading analysis.
279 + add null-pointer checks to setsyx() and getsyx() (prompted by
280 discussion by Martin v. Lowis and Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on
281 python-dev2 mailing list).
284 + add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen().
285 + move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which
286 are not associated with a particular screen.
287 + change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than
288 stdscr to the callback function.
289 + force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this,
290 e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc
291 (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
292 + override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on
293 platforms such as AIX where libtool may use a different suffix for
294 the object files than ".o" (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
295 + add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX
299 + fill in extended-color pair two more places in wbkgrndset() and
300 waddch_nosync() (prompted by Sedeno's patch).
301 + fill in extended-color pair in _nc_build_wch() to make colors work
302 for wide-characters using extended-colors (patch by Alejandro R
304 + add x/X toggles to ncurses.c C color test to test/demo
305 wide-characters with extended-colors.
306 + add a/A toggles to ncurses.c c/C color tests.
307 + modify test/ditto.c to use use_screen().
308 + finish modifying test/rain.c to demonstrate threads.
311 + start modifying test/rain.c for threading demo.
312 + modify test/ncurses.c to make 'f' test accept the f/F/b/F/</> toggles
313 that the 'F' accepts.
314 + modify test/worm.c to show trail in reverse-video when other threads
315 are working concurrently.
316 + fix a deadlock from improper nesting of mutexes for windowlist and
320 + fixes from 20080223 resolved issue with mutexes; change to use
321 recursive mutexes to fix memory leak in delwin() as called from
325 + fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex
326 lock/unlock when termlib was built separately.
329 + avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often
330 is implemented to suspend the entire process.
333 + update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for
334 comparisons. This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open curses
335 that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping. None of the Unix-branded
336 implementations do this, as noted in manpage (cf: 20040228).
339 + modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same
340 for both narrow/wide models. It had been set only for wide model,
341 but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model.
342 + improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by
343 using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append
344 further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A
346 + modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint().
347 If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
351 + improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE
352 handling). Now it hangs in napms(), no matter whether nanosleep()
353 or poll() or select() are used on Linux.
356 + fixes to build with --disable-ext-funcs
357 + add manpage for use_window and use_screen.
358 + add set_tabsize() and set_escdelay() functions.
361 + remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c
362 + remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's
363 adjust_window() which caused occasional misadjustment of stdscr when
367 + several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD
368 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the
369 "link_test" builds properly.
370 + fix for toe command-line options -u/-U to ensure filename is given.
371 + fix allocation-size for command-line parsing in infocmp from 20070728
372 (report by Miroslav Lichvar)
373 + improve resizeterm() by moving ripped-off lines, and repainting the
374 soft-keys (report by Katarina Machalkova)
375 + add clarification in wclear's manpage noting that the screen will be
376 cleared even if a subwindow is cleared (prompted by Christer Enfors
378 + change test/ncurses.c soft-key tests to work with KEY_RESIZE.
381 + continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
385 + add several functions to C++ binding which wrap C functions that
386 pass a WINDOW* parameter (request by Chris Lee).
389 + add note about configure options needed for Berkeley database to the
391 + improve checks for version of Berkeley database libraries.
392 + amend fix for rpath to not modify LDFLAGS if the platform has no
393 applicable transformation (report by Christian Ebert, cf: 20071124).
396 + modify configure option --with-hashed-db to accept a parameter which
397 is the install-prefix of a given Berkeley Database (prompted by
399 + rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb(), making it work on Solaris. This is
400 used in the form library to determine the length of the buffer needed
401 by field_buffer (report by Alfred Fung).
402 + remove unneeded window-parameter from C++ binding for wresize (report
406 + modify the support for filesystems which do not support mixed-case to
407 generate 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the lower-level of the
408 filesystem terminfo database (request by Michail Vidiassov).
409 + add configure option --enable-mixed-case, to allow overriding the
410 configure script's check if the filesystem supports mixed-case
412 + add wresize() to C++ binding (request by Chris Lee).
413 + define NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS and NCURSES_EXT_COLORS in curses.h to make
414 it simpler to tell if the extended functions and/or colors are
418 + update memory-leak checks for changes to names.c and codes.c
419 + correct acsc strings in h19, z100 (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler).
422 + continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
424 + add mrxvt terminfo entry, add/fix xterm building blocks for modified
426 + compile with FreeBSD "contemporary" TTY interface (patch by
430 + modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built
431 without libtic. The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
433 + add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
434 the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).
435 + fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat Bugzilla
436 #310071, patches by Miroslav Lichvar).
437 + improve performance of NCURSES_CHAR_EQ code (patch by Miroslav
439 + update/improve mlterm and rxvt terminfo entries, e.g., for
440 the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
443 + add code to curses.priv.h ifdef'd with NCURSES_CHAR_EQ, which
444 changes the CharEq() macro to an inline function to allow comparing
445 cchar_t struct's without comparing gaps in a possibly unpacked
446 memory layout (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
449 + add new functions to lib_trace.c to setup mutex's for the _tracef()
450 calls within the ncurses library.
451 + for the reentrant model, move _nc_tputs_trace and _nc_outchars into
453 + start modifying test/worm.c to provide threading demo (incomplete).
454 + separated ifdef's for some BSD-related symbols in tset.c, to make
455 it compile on LynxOS (report by Greg Gemmer).
457 + modify Ada95/gen/Makefile to use shlib script, to simplify building
458 shared-library configuration on platforms lacking rpath support.
459 + build-fix for Ada95/src/Makefile to reflect changed dependency for
460 the terminal-interface-curses-aux.adb file which is now generated.
461 + restructuring test/worm.c, for use_window() example.
464 + add use_window() and use_screen() functions, to develop into support
465 for threaded library (incomplete).
466 + fix typos in man/curs_opaque.3x which kept the install script from
467 creating symbolic links to two aliases created in 20070818 (report by

472 for Ada95 html to be incorrect for the files generated using m4.
473 + start investigating mutex's for SCREEN manipulation (incomplete).
474 + minor cleanup of codes.c/names.c for --enable-const
475 + expand/revise "Routine and Argument Names" section of ncurses manpage
476 to address report by David Givens in newsgroup discussion.

478 options (report by Michail Vidiassov).
479 + fix typo in "--disable-relink" option (report by Michail Vidiassov).
482 + fix a sign-extension bug in infocmp's repair_acsc() function
484 + fix old configure script bug which prevented "--disable-warnings"
485 option from working (patch by Mike Frysinger).
488 + add 9term terminal description (request by Juhapekka Tolvanen) -TD
489 + modify comp_hash.c's string output to avoid misinterpreting a null
490 "\0" followed by a digit.
491 + modify MKnames.awk and MKcodes.awk to support big-strings.
492 This only applies to the cases (broken linker, reentrant) where
493 the corresponding arrays are accessed via wrapper functions.
494 + split MKnames.awk into two scripts, eliminating the shell redirection
495 which complicated the make process and also the bogus timestamp file
496 which was introduced to fix "make -j".
497 + add test/test_opaque.c, test/test_arrays.c
498 + add wgetscrreg() and wgetparent() for applications that may need it
499 when NCURSES_OPAQUE is defined (prompted by Bryan Christ).
502 + amend treatment of infocmp "-r" option to retain the 1023-byte limit
503 unless "-T" is given (cf: 981017).
504 + modify comp_captab.c generation to use big-strings.
505 + make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private accessed via
506 _nc_get_alias_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
508 + modify configure script to skip Intel compiler in CF_C_INLINE.
509 + make _nc_info_hash_table and _nc_cap_hash_table private accessed via
510 _nc_get_hash_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
514 + make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private, accessed via
515 _nc_get_alias_table() since they are used only by parse_entry.c
516 + make _nc_key_names private since it is used only by lib_keyname.c
517 + add --disable-big-strings configure option to control whether
518 unctrl.c is generated using the big-string optimization - which may
519 use strings longer than supported by a given compiler.
520 + reduce relocation tables for tic, infocmp by changing type of
521 internal hash tables to short, and make those private symbols.
522 + eliminate large fixed arrays from progs/infocmp.c
525 + change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line (cf: 970315).
526 + add test/test_get_wstr.c
527 + add test/test_getstr.c
528 + add test/test_inwstr.c
529 + add test/test_instr.c
532 + restore a call to obtain screen-size in _nc_setupterm(), which
533 is used in tput and other non-screen applications via setupterm()
534 (Debian #433357, reported by Florent Bayle, Christian Ohm,
538 + add test/savescreen.c test-program
539 + add check to trace-file open, if the given name is a directory, add

622 + correct some functions in Ada95 binding which were using return value
623 from C where none was returned: idcok(), immedok() and wtimeout().
624 + amend recent changes for Ada95 binding to make it build with
625 Cygwin's linker, e.g., with configure options
626 --enable-broken-linker --with-ticlib
629 + add a configure check for gcc's options for inlining, use that to
630 quiet a warning message where gcc's default behavior changed from
632 + improve warning message when checking if GPM is linked to curses
633 library by not warning if its use of "wgetch" is via a weak symbol.
634 + add loader options when building with static libraries to ensure that
635 an installed shared library for ncurses does not conflict. This is
636 reported as problem with Tru64, but could affect other platforms

709 + eliminate part of the direct use of WINDOW data from Ada95 interface.
710 + fix substitutions for termlib filename to make configure option
711 --enable-reentrant work with --with-termlib.
712 + change a constructor for NCursesWindow to allow compiling with
713 NCURSES_OPAQUE set, since we cannot pass a reference to
717 + ignore --with-chtype=unsigned since unsigned is always added to
718 the type in curses.h; do the same for --with-mmask-t.
719 + change warning regarding --enable-ext-colors and wide-character
720 in the configure script to an error.
721 + tweak error message in CF_WITH_LIBTOOL to distinguish other programs

748 + regenerated html documentation.
749 + add NCURSES_OPAQUE symbol to curses.h, will use to make structs
750 opaque in selected configurations.
751 + move the chunk in lib_acs.c which resets acs capabilities when
752 running on a terminal whose locale interferes with those into
753 _nc_setupscreen(), so the libtinfo/libtinfow files can be made
754 identical (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
755 + do not use configure variable SHLIB_LIBS for building libraries
756 outside the ncurses directory, since that symbol is customized
757 only for that directory, and using it introduces an unneeded
758 dependency on libdl (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
759 + modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or
760 installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in
761 case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh (report by Jeff

764 (prompted by newsgroup comment by Nick Guenther).
767 + change internal return codes of _nc_wgetch() to check for cases

806 for each multi-column character (prompted by report by Wei Kong
807 regarding change in mvwin_wch() cf: 20041023).
810 + modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
811 from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
812 Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
813 associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
815 + improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
816 + ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
817 + add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
818 to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
819 + drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
820 no longer relies on it.
821 + disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
822 --enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
823 + remove tack from ncurses tree.
826 + fix typo in configure script that broke --with-termlib option

836 + review/eliminate other original-file artifacts in cursesw.cc, making
837 its license consistent with ncurses.
838 + use ncurses vw_scanw() rather than reading into a fixed buffer in
839 the c++ binding for scanw() methods (prompted by report by Nuno Dias).
840 + eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding.
843 + add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from
844 term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency.
845 + fix test/mk-test.awk to ignore blank lines.
846 + correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav
850 + add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the
851 _first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak).
852 + add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the

911 Solaris to help ensure that initialization sections are provided for
912 extra linkage requirements, e.g., of C++ applications (prompted by
913 comment by Casper Dik in newsgroup).
914 + rename "$target" in CF_MAN_PAGES to make it easier to distinguish
915 from the autoconf predefined symbol. There was no conflict,
916 since "$target" was used only in the generated edit_man.sh file,
917 but SuSE's rpm package contains a patch.
920 + update man/term.5 to reflect extended terminfo support and hashed
921 database configuration.
922 + updates for test/configure script.

946 touching the corresponding rows in curscr (discussion with Dan
949 + add test/echochar.c
950 + review/cleanup manpage descriptions of error-returns for form- and
951 menu-libraries (prompted by FreeBSD docs/46196).
954 + add AUTHORS file -TD
955 + omit the -D options from output of the new config script --cflags
956 option (suggested by Ralf S Engelschall).
957 + make NCURSES_INLINE unconditionally defined in curses.h

983 and status line (Alain Bench).
984 + change the way shared libraries (other than libtool) are installed.
985 Rather than copying the build-tree's libraries, link the shared
986 objects into the install directory. This makes the --with-rpath
987 option work except with $(DESTDIR) (cf: 20000930).
990 + fix ifdef in c++/internal.h for QNX 6.1
991 + test-compiled with (old) egcs-1.1.2, modified configure script to

1007 option (from lynx changes) -TD
1008 + adapt AC_PROG_EGREP check, noting that this is likely to be another
1009 place aggravated by POSIXLY_CORRECT.

1011 by report by Christopher Parker).
1015 + add kon, kon2 and jfbterm terminfo entry (request by Till Maas) -TD
1016 + remove invis capability from klone+sgr, mainly used by linux entry,
1017 since it does not really do this -TD
1020 + correct logic in wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not guard
1021 against passing the multi-column attribute into a call on waddch(),
1022 e.g., using data returned by win_wch() (cf: 20041023)
1023 (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).

1043 source output (Debian #378783).
1044 + modify configure script to ensure that if the C compiler is used
1045 rather than the loader in making shared libraries, the $(CFLAGS)
1046 variable is also used (Redhat Bugzilla #199369).
1047 + port hashed-db code to db2 and db3.
1048 + fix a bug in tgetent() from 20060625 and 20060715 changes
1049 (patch/analysis by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat Bugzilla #202480)).
1052 + updated xterm function-keys terminfo to match xterm #216 -TD
1053 + add configure --with-hashed-db option (tested only with FreeBSD 6.0,
1054 e.g., the db 1.8.5 interface).
1057 + modify toe to access termcap data, e.g., via cgetent() functions,
1058 or as a text file if those are not available.
1059 + use _nc_basename() in tset to improve $SHELL check for csh/sh.
1060 + modify _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_termcap_entry() so infocmp,
1061 can access termcap data when the terminfo database is disabled.
1064 + widen the test for xterm kmous a little to allow for other strings
1065 than \E[M, e.g., for xterm-sco functionality in xterm.

1107 + modify read_termtype() so the term_names data is always allocated as
1108 part of the str_table, a better fix for a memory leak (cf: 20030809).
1109 + reduce memory leaks in repeated calls to tgetent() by remembering the
1110 last TERMINAL* value allocated to hold the corresponding data and
1111 freeing that if the tgetent() result buffer is the same as the
1112 previous call (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
1113 + modify tack to test extended capability function-key strings.
1114 + improved gnome terminfo entry (GenToo #122566).
1115 + improved xterm-256color terminfo entry (patch by Alain Bench).
1118 + fix two small memory leaks related to repeated tgetent() calls
1119 with TERM=screen (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
1120 + add --enable-signed-char to simplify Debian package.
1121 + reduce name-pollution in term.h by removing #define's for HAVE_xxx
1123 + correct typo in curs_terminfo.3x (Debian #369168).
1126 + enable the mouse in test/movewindow.c
1127 + improve a limit-check in frm_def.c (John Heasley).
1128 + minor copyright fixes.
1129 + change configure script to produce test/Makefile from data file.
1132 + add a configure option --enable-wgetch-events to enable
1133 NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS, and correct the associated loop-logic in
1134 lib_twait.c (report by Bernd Jendrissek).
1135 + remove include/nomacros.h from build, since the ifdef for
1136 NCURSES_NOMACROS makes that obsolete.
1137 + add entrypoints for some functions which were only provided as macros
1138 to make NCURSES_NOMACROS ifdef work properly: getcurx(), getcury(),
1139 getbegx(), getbegy(), getmaxx(), getmaxy(), getparx() and getpary(),
1141 + provide ifdef for NCURSES_NOMACROS which suppresses most macro
1142 definitions from curses.h, i.e., where a macro is defined to override
1143 a function to improve performance. Allowing a developer to suppress
1144 these definitions can simplify some application (discussion with
1146 + improve description of memu/meml in terminfo manpage.
1149 + if msgr is false, reset video attributes when doing an automargin
1150 wrap to the next line. This makes the ncurses 'k' test work properly
1152 + correct caching of keyname(), which was using only half of its table.
1153 + minor fixes to memory-leak checking.
1154 + make SCREEN._acs_map and SCREEN._screen_acs_map pointers rather than
1155 arrays, making ACS_LEN less visible to applications (suggested by
1157 + move chunk in SCREEN ifdef'd for USE_WIDEC_SUPPORT to the end, so
1158 _screen_acs_map will have the same offset in both ncurses/ncursesw,
1159 making the corresponding tinfo/tinfow libraries binary-compatible
1160 (cf: 20041016, report by Stanislav Ievlev).
1163 + improve debug-tracing for EmitRange().
1164 + change default for --with-develop to "yes". Add NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS
1165 and NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE environment variables to allow runtime
1166 suppression of the related hard-tabs and xmc-glitch features.
1167 + add ncurses version number to top-level manpages, e.g., ncurses, tic,
1168 infocmp, terminfo as well as form, menu, panel.
1169 + update config.guess, config.sub
1170 + modify ncurses.c to work around a bug in NetBSD 3.0 curses
1171 (field_buffer returning null for a valid field). The 'r' test
1172 appears to not work with that configuration since the new_fieldtype()
1173 function is broken in that implementation.
1176 + add hpterm-color terminfo entry -TD
1177 + fixes to compile test-programs with HPUX 11.23
1180 + add copyright notices to files other than those that are generated,
1181 data or adapted from pdcurses (reports by William McBrine, David
1183 + improve rendering on hpterm by not resetting attributes at the end
1184 of doupdate() if the terminal has the magic-cookie feature (report
1186 + add 256color variants of terminfo entries for programs which are
1187 reported to implement this feature -TD
1190 + fix typo in change to NewChar() macro from 20060311 changes, which
1191 broke tab-expansion (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
1194 + document -U option of tic and infocmp.
1195 + modify tic/infocmp to suppress smacs/rmacs when acsc is suppressed
1196 due to size limit, e.g., converting to termcap format. Also
1197 suppress them if the output format does not contain acsc and it
1198 was not VT100-like, i.e., a one-one mapping (Novell #163715).
1199 + add configure check to ensure that SIGWINCH is defined on platforms
1200 such as OS X which exclude that when _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., are
1201 defined (report by Nicholas Cole)
1204 + modify write_object() to not write coincidental extensions of an
1205 entry made due to it being referenced in a use= clause (report by
1207 + another fix for infocmp -i option, which did not ensure that some
1208 escape sequences had comparable prefixes (report by Alain Bench).
1211 + improve discussion of init/reset in terminfo and tput manpages
1212 (report by Alain Bench).
1213 + use is3 string for a fallback of rs3 in the reset program; it was
1214 using is2 (report by Alain Bench).
1215 + correct logic for infocmp -i option, which did not account for
1216 multiple digits in a parameter (cf: 20040828) (report by Alain
1218 + move _nc_handle_sigwinch() to lib_setup.c to make --with-termlib
1219 option work after 20060114 changes (report by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz).
1220 + add copyright notices to test-programs as needed (report by William
1224 + modify ncurses.c 'F' test to combine the wide-characters with color
1225 and/or video attributes.
1226 + modify test/ncurses to use CTL/Q or ESC consistently for exiting
1227 a test-screen (some commands used 'x' or 'q').
1230 + fix an off-by-one in the scrolling-region change (cf_ 20060311).
1233 + add checks in waddchnstr() and wadd_wchnstr() to stop copying when
1234 a null character is found (report by Igor Bogomazov).
1235 + modify progs/Makefile.in to make "tput init" work properly with
1236 cygwin, i.e., do not pass a ".exe" in the reference string used
1237 in check_aliases (report by Samuel Thibault).
1238 + add some checks to ensure current position is within scrolling
1239 region before scrolling on a new line (report by Dan Gookin).
1240 + change some NewChar() usage to static variables to work around
1241 stack garbage introduced when cchar_t is not packed (Redhat #182024).
1244 + workarounds to build test/movewindow with PDcurses 2.7.
1245 + fix for nsterm-16color entry (patch by Alain Bench).
1246 + correct a typo in infocmp manpage (Debian #354281).
1249 + add nsterm-16color entry -TD
1250 + updated mlterm terminfo entry -TD
1251 + remove 970913 feature for copying subwindows as they are moved in
1252 mvwin() (discussion with Bryan Christ).
1253 + modify test/demo_menus.c to demonstrate moving a menu (both the
1254 window and subwindow) using shifted cursor-keys.
1255 + start implementing recursive mvwin() in movewindow.c (incomplete).
1256 + add a fallback definition for GCC_PRINTFLIKE() in test.priv.h,
1257 for movewindow.c (report by William McBrine).
1258 + add help-message to test/movewindow.c
1261 + add test/movewindow.c, to test mvderwin().
1262 + fix ncurses soft-key test so color changes are shown immediately
1263 rather than delayed.
1264 + modify ncurses soft-key test to hide the keys when exiting the test
1266 + fixes to build test programs with PDCurses 2.7, e.g., its headers
1267 rely on autoconf symbols, and it declares stubs for nonfunctional
1268 terminfo and termcap entrypoints.
1271 + improved test/configure to build test/ncurses on HPUX 11 using the
1273 + documented ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS in the ncurses manpage, for the
1274 benefit of developers who do not read INSTALL.
1277 + correct form library Window_To_Buffer() change (cf: 20040516), which
1278 should ignore the video attributes (report by Ricardo Cantu).
1281 + minor fixes to xmc-glitch experimental code:
1282 + suppress line-drawing
1283 + implement max_attributes
1285 + minor fixes for the database iterator.
1286 + fix some buffer limits in c++ demo (comment by Falk Hueffner in
1290 + add toe -a option, to show all databases. This uses new private
1291 interfaces in the ncurses library for iterating through the list of
1293 + fix toe from 20000909 changes which made it not look at
1295 + make toe's -v option parameter optional as per manpage.
1296 + improve SIGWINCH handling by postponing its effect during newterm(),
1297 etc., when allocating screens.
1300 + modify wgetnstr() to return KEY_RESIZE if a sigwinch occurs. Use
1301 this in test/filter.c
1302 + fix an error in filter() modification which caused some applications
1306 + check if filter() was called when getting the screensize. Keep it
1307 at 1 if so (based on Redhat #174498).
1308 + add extension nofilter().
1309 + refined the workaround for ACS mapping.
1310 + make ifdef's consistent in curses.h for the extended colors so the
1311 header file can be used for the normal curses library. The header
1312 file installed for extended colors is a variation of the
1313 wide-character configuration (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
1316 + add a workaround to ACS mapping to allow applications such as
1317 test/blue.c to use the "PC ROM" characters by masking them with
1318 A_ALTCHARSET. This worked up til 5.5, but was lost in the revision
1319 of legacy coding (report by Michael Deutschmann).
1320 + add a null-pointer check in the wide-character version of
1321 calculate_actual_width() (report by Victor Julien).
1322 + improve test/ncurses 'd' (color-edit) test by allowing the RGB
1323 values to be set independently (patch by William McBrine).
1324 + modify test/configure script to allow building test programs with
1326 + modified test programs to allow some to work with NetBSD curses.
1327 Several do not because NetBSD curses implements a subset of X/Open
1328 curses, and also lacks much of SVr4 additions. But it's enough for
1330 + update config.guess and config.sub
1333 + use BSD-specific fix for return-value from cgetent() from CVS where
1334 an unknown terminal type would be reportd as "database not found".
1335 + make tgetent() return code more readable using new symbols
1337 + remove references to non-existent "tctest" program.
1338 + remove TESTPROGS from progs/Makefile.in (it was referring to code
1339 that was never built in that directory).
1340 + typos in curs_addchstr.3x, some doc files (noticed in OpenBSD CVS).
1343 + add use_legacy_coding() function to support lynx's font-switching
1345 + fix formatting in curs_termcap.3x (report by Mike Frysinger).
1346 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to change preprocessor-expanded _Bool back to
1350 + extend test/ncurses.c 's' (overlay window) test to exercise overlay(),
1351 overwrite() and copywin() with different combinations of colors and
1352 attributes (including background color) to make it easy to see the
1353 effect of the different functions.
1354 + corrections to menu/m_global.c for wide-characters (report by
1358 + add configure option --without-dlsym, allowing developers to
1359 configure GPM support without using dlsym() (discussion with Michael
1361 + fix wins_nwstr(), which did not handle single-column non-8bit codes
1365 + move prototypes for wide-character trace functions from curses.tail
1366 to curses.wide to avoid accidental reference to those if
1367 _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined without ensuring that <wchar.h> is
1369 + add/use NCURSES_INLINE definition.
1370 + change some internal functions to use int/unsigned rather than the
1374 + remove a redundant check in lib_color.c (Debian #335655).
1375 + use ld's -search_paths_first option on Darwin to work around odd
1376 search rules on that platform (report by Christian Gennerat, analysis
1378 + remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro.
1379 + ignore EINTR in tcgetattr/tcsetattr calls (Debian #339518).
1380 + fix several bugs in test/bs.c (patch by Stephen Lindholm).
1383 + other minor fixes to cygwin based on tack -TD
1384 + correct smacs in cygwin (Debian #338234, report by Baurzhan
1385 Ismagulov, who noted that it was fixed in Cygwin).
1388 + add shifted up/down arrow codes to xterm-new as kind/kri strings -TD
1389 + modify wbkgrnd() to avoid clearing the A_CHARTEXT attribute bits
1390 since those record the state of multicolumn characters (Debian
1392 + modify werase to clear multicolumn characters that extend into
1393 a derived window (Debian #316663).
1396 + move assignment from environment variable ESCDELAY from initscr()
1397 down to newterm() so the environment variable affects timeouts for
1398 terminals opened with newterm() as well.
1399 + fix a memory leak in keyname().
1400 + add test/demo_altkeys.c
1401 + modify test/demo_defkey.c to exit from loop via 'q' to allow
1402 leak-checking, as well as fix a buffer size in winnstr() call.
1405 + correct order of use-clauses in rxvt-basic entry which made codes for
1406 f1-f4 vt100-style rather than vt220-style (report by Gabor Z Papp).
1407 + suppress configure check for gnatmake if Ada95/Makefile.in is not
1409 + correct a typo in configure --with-bool option for the case where
1410 --without-cxx is used (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
1411 + add a note to INSTALL's discussion of --with-normal, pointing out
1412 that one may wish to use --without-gpm to ensure a completely
1413 static link (prompted by report by Felix von Leitner).
1415 20051010 5.5 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
1418 + document in demo_forms.c some portability issues.
1421 + document side-effect of werase() which sets the cursor position.
1422 + save/restore the current position in form field editing to make
1426 + correct header dependencies in progs, allowing parallel make (report
1427 by Daniel Jacobowitz).
1428 + modify CF_BUILD_CC to ensure that pre-setting $BUILD_CC overrides
1429 the configure check for --with-build-cc (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
1430 + modify CF_CFG_DEFAULTS to not use /usr as the default prefix for
1432 + update config.guess and config.sub from
1433 http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
1436 + modify sed expression which computes path for /usr/lib/terminfo
1437 symbolic link in install to ensure that it does not change unexpected
1438 levels of the path (Gentoo #42336).
1439 + modify default for --disable-lp64 configure option to reduce impact
1440 on existing 64-bit builds. Enabling the _LP64 option may change the
1441 size of chtype and mmask_t. However, for ABI 6, it is enabled by
1442 default (report by Mike Frysinger).
1443 + add configure script check for --enable-ext-mouse, bump ABI to 6 by
1444 default if it is used.
1445 + improve configure script logic for bumping ABI to omit this if the
1446 --with-abi-version option was used.
1447 + update address for Free Software Foundation in tack's source.
1448 + correct wins_wch(), which was not marking the filler-cells of
1449 multi-column characters (cf: 20041023).
1452 + modify mouse initialization to ensure that Gpm_Open() is called only
1453 once. Otherwise GPM gets confused in its initialization of signal
1454 handlers (Debian #326709).
1457 + modify logic for backspacing in a multiline form field to ensure that
1458 it works even when the preceding line is full (report by Frank van
1460 + remove comment about BUGS section of ncurses manpage (Debian #325481)
1463 + document some workarounds for shared and libtool library
1464 configurations in INSTALL (see --with-shared and --with-libtool).
1465 + modify CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GXX_VERSION macros to accommodate
1466 cross-compilers which emit the platform name in their version
1468 arm-sa1100-linux-gnu-g++ (GCC) 4.0.1
1469 (report by Frank van Vugt).
1472 + start updating documentation for upcoming 5.5 release.
1473 + fix to make libtool and libtinfo work together again (cf: 20050122).
1474 + fixes to allow building traces into libtinfo
1475 + add debug trace to tic that shows if/how ncurses will write to the
1476 lower corner of a terminal's screen.
1477 + update llib-l* files.
1480 + modify initializers in c++ binding to build with old versions of g++.
1481 + improve special case for 20050115 repainting fix, ensuring that if
1482 the first changed cell is not a character that the range to be
1483 repainted is adjusted to start at a character's beginning (Debian
1487 + fixes to build on QNX 6.1
1488 + improve configure script checks for Intel 9.0 compiler.
1489 + remove #include's for libc.h (obsolete).
1490 + adjust ifdef's in curses.priv.h so that when cross-compiling to
1491 produce comp_hash and make_keys, no dependency on wchar.h is needed.
1492 That simplifies the build-cppflags (report by Frank van Vugt).
1493 + move modules related to key-binding into libtinfo to fix linkage
1494 problem caused by 20050430 changes to MKkeyname.sh (report by
1495 Konstantin Andreev).
1498 + updates/fixes for configure script macros from vile -TD
1499 + make prism9's sgr string agree with the rest of the terminfo -TD
1500 + make vt220's sgr0 string consistent with sgr string, do this for
1501 several related cases -TD
1502 + improve translation to termcap by filtering the 'me' (sgr0) strings
1503 as in the runtime call to tgetent() (prompted by a discussion with
1505 + improve tic check for sgr0 versus sgr(0), to help ensure that sgr0
1506 resets line-drawing.
1509 + fix special cases for trimming sgr0 for hurd and vt220 (Debian
1511 + split-out _nc_trim_sgr0() from modifications made to tgetent(), to
1512 allow it to be used by tic to provide information about the runtime
1513 changes that would be made to sgr0 for termcap applications.
1514 + modify make_sed.sh to make the group-name in the NAME section of
1515 form/menu library manpage agree with the TITLE string when renaming
1516 is done for Debian (Debian #78866).
1519 + modify parameter type in c++ binding for insch() and mvwinsch() to
1520 be consistent with underlying ncurses library (was char, is chtype).
1521 + modify treatment of Intel compiler to allow _GNU_SOURCE to be defined
1523 + improve configure check for nanosleep(), checking that it works since
1524 some older systems such as AIX 4.3 have a nonworking version.
1527 + update config.guess and config.sub from
1528 http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
1529 + modify misc/shlib to work in test-directory.
1530 + suppress $suffix in misc/run_tic.sh when cross-compiling. This
1531 allows cross-compiles to use the host's tic program to handle the
1532 "make install.data" step.
1533 + improve description of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables in manpages
1534 (prompted by report by Dave Ulrick).
1535 + improve description of cross-compiling in INSTALL
1536 + add NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html by Pradeep Padala
1537 (see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/).
1538 + modify configure script to obtain soname for GPM library (discussion
1539 with Daniel Jacobowitz).
1540 + modify configure script so that --with-chtype option will still
1541 compute the unsigned literals suffix for constants in curses.h
1542 (report by Daniel Jacobowitz:
1543 + patches from Daniel Jacobowitz:
1544 + the man_db.renames entry for tack.1 was backwards.
1545 + tack.1 had some 1m's that should have been 1M's.
1546 + the section for curs_inwstr.3 was wrong.
1549 + correction to --with-chtype option (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
1552 + move build-time edit_man.sh and edit_man.sed scripts to top directory
1553 to simplify reusing them for renaming tack's manpage (prompted by a
1554 review of Debian package).
1555 + revert minor optimization from 20041030 (Debian #313609).
1556 + libtool-specific fixes, tested with libtool 1.4.3, 1.5.0, 1.5.6,
1557 1.5.10 and 1.5.18 (all work except as noted previously for the c++
1558 install using libtool 1.5.0):
1559 + modify the clean-rule in c++/Makefile.in to work with IRIX64 make
1561 + use $(LIBTOOL_UNINSTALL) symbol, overlooked in 20030830
1562 + add configure options --with-chtype and --with-mmask-t, to allow
1563 overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of the corresponding types.
1564 + revise test for size of chtype (and mmask_t), which always returned
1565 "long" due to an uninitialized variable (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
1568 + change _tracef's that used "%p" format for va_list values to ignore
1569 that, since on some platforms those are not pointers.
1570 + fixes for long-formats in printf's due to largefile support.
1573 + fixes for termcap support:
1574 + reset pointer to _nc_curr_token.tk_name when the input stream is
1575 closed, which could point to free memory (cf: 20030215).
1576 + delink TERMTYPE data which is used by the termcap reader, so that
1577 extended names data will be freed consistently.
1578 + free pointer to TERMTYPE data in _nc_free_termtype() rather than
1580 + add some entrypoints for freeing permanently allocated data via
1581 _nc_freeall() when NO_LEAKS is defined.
1582 + amend 20041030 change to _nc_do_color to ensure that optimization is
1583 applied only when the terminal supports back_color_erase (bce).
1586 + add sun-color terminfo entry -TD
1587 + correct a missing assignment in c++ binding's method
1588 NCursesPanel::UserPointer() from 20050409 changes.
1589 + improve configure check for large-files, adding check for dirent64
1591 + minor change to configure script to improve linker options for the
1595 + document error conditions for ncurses library functions (report by
1597 + regenerated html documentation for ada binding.
1598 see ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/gnathtml
1601 + regenerated html documentation for manpages.
1602 + add $(BUILD_EXEEXT) suffix to invocation of make_keys in
1603 ncurses/Makefile (Gentoo #89772).
1604 + modify c++/demo.cc to build with g++ -fno-implicit-templates option
1605 (patch by Mike Frysinger).
1606 + modify tic to filter out long extended names when translating to
1607 termcap format. Only two characters are permissible for termcap
1611 + modify terminfo entries xterm-new and rxvt to add strings for
1612 shift-, control-cursor keys.
1613 + workaround to allow c++ binding to compile with g++ 2.95.3, which
1614 has a broken implementation of static_cast<> (patch by Jeff Chua).
1615 + modify initialization of key lookup table so that if an extended
1616 capability (tic -x) string is defined, and its name begins with 'k',
1617 it will automatically be treated as a key.
1618 + modify test/keynames.c to allow for the possibility of extended
1619 key names, e.g., via define_key(), or via "tic -x".
1620 + add test/demo_termcap.c to show the contents of given entry via the
1624 + minor fixes for vt100/vt52 entries -TD
1625 + add configure option --enable-largefile
1626 + corrected libraries used to build Ada95/gen/gen, found in testing
1630 + update config.guess, config.sub
1631 + modify configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, disable that on
1632 Darwin whose header files have problems (patch by Chris Zubrzycki).
1633 + modify form library Is_Printable_String() to use iswprint() rather
1634 than wcwidth() for determining if a character is printable. The
1635 latter caused it to reject menu items containing non-spacing
1637 + modify ncurses test program's F-test to handle non-spacing characters
1638 by combining them with a reverse-video blank.
1639 + review/fix several gcc -Wconversion warnings.
1642 + correct an off-by-one error in m_driver() for mouse-clicks used to
1643 position the mouse to a particular item.
1644 + implement test/demo_menus.c
1645 + add some checks in lib_mouse to ensure SP is set.
1646 + modify C++ binding to make 20050403 changes work with the configure
1647 --enable-const option.
1650 + modify start_color() to return ERR if it cannot allocate memory.
1651 + address g++ compiler warnings in C++ binding by adding explicit
1652 member initialization, assignment operators and copy constructors.
1653 Most of the changes simply preserve the existing semantics of the
1654 binding, which can leak memory, etc., but by making these features
1655 visible, it provides a framework for improving the binding.
1656 + improve C++ binding using static_cast, etc.
1657 + modify configure script --enable-warnings to add options to g++ to
1658 correspond to the gcc --enable-warnings.
1659 + modify C++ binding to use some C internal functions to make it
1660 compile properly on Solaris (and other platforms).
1663 + amend change from 20050320 to limit it to configurations with a
1665 + fix a bug introduced in 20050320 which broke the translation of
1666 nonprinting characters to uparrow form (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
1669 + add ifdef's for _LP64 in curses.h to avoid using wasteful 64-bits for
1670 chtype and mmask_t, but add configure option --disable-lp64 in case
1671 anyone used that configuration.
1672 + update misc/shlib script to account for Mac OS X (report by Michail
1674 + correct comparison for wrapping multibyte characters in
1675 waddch_literal() (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
1678 + add -c and -w options to tset to allow user to suppress ncurses'
1679 resizing of the terminal emulator window in the special case where it
1680 is not able to detect the true size (report by Win Delvaux, Debian
1682 + modify waddch_nosync() to account for locale zn_CH.GBK, which uses
1683 codes 128-159 as part of multibyte characters (report by Wang
1684 WenRui, Debian #300512).
1687 + modify ncurses.c 'd' test to make it work with 88-color
1688 configuration, i.e., by implementing scrolling.
1689 + improve scrolling in ncurses.c 'c' and 'C' tests, e.g., for 88-color
1693 + change tracemunch to use strict checking.
1694 + modify ncurses.c 'p' test to test line-drawing within a pad.
1695 + implement environment variable NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS to support
1696 miscellaneous terminal emulators which ignore alternate character
1697 set escape sequences when in UTF-8 mode.
1700 + change NCursesWindow::err_handler() to a virtual function (request by
1702 + modify fty_int.c and fty_num.c to handle wide characters (report by
1704 + adapt fix for fty_alpha.c to fty_alnum.c, which also handled normal
1705 and wide characters inconsistently (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
1706 + update llib-* files to reflect internal interface additions/changes.
1709 + improve test/configure script, adding tests for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc.,
1711 + add aixterm-16color terminfo entry -TD
1712 + modified xterm-new terminfo entry to work with tgetent() changes -TD
1713 + extended changes in tgetent() from 20040710 to allow the substring of
1714 sgr0 which matches rmacs to be at the beginning of the sgr0 string
1715 (request by Thomas Wolff). Wolff says the visual effect in
1716 combination with pre-20040710 ncurses is improved.
1717 + fix off-by-one in winnstr() call which caused form field validation
1718 of multibyte characters to ignore the last character in a field.
1719 + correct logic in winsch() for inserting multibyte strings; the code
1720 would clear cells after the insertion rather than push them to the
1721 right (cf: 20040228).
1722 + fix an inconsistency in Check_Alpha_Field() between normal and wide
1723 character logic (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
1726 + fix a bug in editing wide-characters in form library: deleting a
1727 nonwide character modified the previous wide-character.
1728 + update manpage to describe NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2.
1729 + correct manpage description of mouseinterval() (Debian #280687).
1730 + add a note to default_colors.3x explaining why this extension was
1731 added (Debian #295083).
1732 + add traces to panel library.
1735 + improve editing of wide-characters in form library: left/right
1736 cursor movement, and single-character deletions work properly.
1737 + disable GPM mouse support when $TERM happens to be prefixed with
1738 "xterm". Gpm_Open() would otherwise assert that it can deal with
1739 mouse events in this case.
1740 + modify GPM mouse support so it closes the server connection when
1741 the caller disables the mouse (report by Stanislav Ievlev).
1744 + add traces for callback functions in form library.
1745 + add experimental configure option --enable-ext-mouse, which defines
1746 NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies the encoding of mouse events to
1747 support wheel mice, which may transmit buttons 4 and 5. This works
1748 with xterm and similar X terminal emulators (prompted by question by
1749 Andreas Henningsson, this is also related to Debian #230990).
1750 + improve configure macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE to
1751 avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin.
1754 + merge remaining development changes for extended colors (mostly
1755 complete, does not appear to break other configurations).
1756 + add xterm-88color.dat (part of extended colors testing).
1757 + improve _tracedump() handling of color pairs past 96.
1758 + modify return-value from start_color() to return OK if colors have
1759 already been started.
1760 + modify curs_color.3x list error conditions for init_pair(),
1761 pair_content() and color_content().
1762 + modify pair_content() to return -1 for consistency with init_pair()
1763 if it corresponds to the default-color.
1764 + change internal representation of default-color to allow application
1765 to use color number 255. This does not affect the total number of
1766 color pairs which are allowed.
1767 + add a top-level tags rule.
1770 + add a null-pointer check in wgetch() in case it is called without
1771 first calling initscr().
1772 + add some null-pointer checks for SP, which is not set by libtinfo.
1773 + modify misc/shlib to ensure that absolute pathnames are used.
1774 + modify test/Makefile.in, etc., to link test programs only against the
1775 libraries needed, e.g., omit form/menu/panel library for the ones
1776 that are curses-specific.
1777 + change SP->_current_attr to a pointer, adjust ifdef's to ensure that
1778 libtinfo.so and libtinfow.so have the same ABI. The reason for this
1779 is that the corresponding data which belongs to the upper-level
1780 ncurses library has a different size in each model (report by
1784 + minor fixes to allow test-compiles with g++.
1785 + correct column value shown in tic's warnings, which did not account
1786 for leading whitespace.
1787 + add a check in _nc_trans_string() for improperly ended strings, i.e.,
1788 where a following line begins in column 1.
1789 + modify _nc_save_str() to return a null pointer on buffer overflow.
1790 + improve repainting while scrolling wide-character data (Eungkyu Song).
1793 + merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
1796 + merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
1797 + fix manpage typo (FreeBSD report docs/75544).
1798 + update config.guess, config.sub
1799 > patches for configure script (Albert Chin-A-Young):
1800 + improved fix to make mbstate_t recognized on HPUX 11i (cf:
1801 20030705), making vsscanf() prototype visible on IRIX64. Tested for
1802 on HP-UX 11i, Solaris 7, 8, 9, AIX 4.3.3, 5.2, Tru64 UNIX 4.0D, 5.1,
1803 IRIX64 6.5, Redhat Linux 7.1, 9, and RHEL 2.1, 3.0.
1804 + print the result of the --disable-home-terminfo option.
1805 + use -rpath when compiling with SGI C compiler.
1808 + add trace calls to remaining public functions in form and menu
1810 + fix check for numeric digits in test/ncurses.c 'b' and 'B' tests.
1811 + fix typo in test/ncurses.c 'c' test from 20041218.
1814 + revise test/ncurses.c 'c' color test to improve use for xterm-88color
1815 and xterm-256color, added 'C' test using the wide-character color_set
1816 and attr_set functions.
1819 + modify configure script to work with Intel compiler.
1820 + fix an limit-check in wadd_wchnstr() which caused labels in the
1821 forms-demo to be one character short.
1822 + fix typo in curs_addchstr.3x (Jared Yanovich).
1823 + add trace calls to most functions in form and menu libraries.
1824 + update working-position for adding wide-characters when window is
1825 scrolled (prompted by related report by Eungkyu Song).
1828 + replace some references on Linux to wcrtomb() which use it to obtain
1829 the length of a multibyte string with _nc_wcrtomb, since wcrtomb() is
1830 broken in glibc (see Debian #284260).
1831 + corrected length-computation in wide-character support for
1833 + some fixes to frm_driver.c to allow it to accept multibyte input.
1834 + modify configure script to work with Intel 8.0 compiler.
1837 + amend change to setupterm() in 20030405 which would reuse the value
1838 of cur_term if the same output was selected. This now reuses it only
1839 when setupterm() is called from tgetent(), which has no notion of
1840 separate SCREENs. Note that tgetent() must be called after initscr()
1841 or newterm() to use this feature (Redhat Bugzilla #140326).
1842 + add a check in CF_BUILD_CC macro to ensure that developer has given
1843 the --with-build-cc option when cross-compiling (report by Alexandre
1845 + improved configure script checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE and
1846 _POSIX_C_SOURCE (fix for IRIX 5.3 from Georg Schwarz, _POSIX_C_SOURCE
1848 + cosmetic fix to test/gdc.c to recolor the bottom edge of the box
1849 for consistency (comment by Dan Nelson).
1852 + update wsvt25 terminfo entry -TD
1853 + modify test/ins_wide.c to test all flavors of ins_wstr().
1854 + ignore filler-cells in wadd_wchnstr() when adding a cchar_t array
1855 which consists of multi-column characters, since this function
1856 constructs them (cf: 20041023).
1857 + modify winnstr() to return multibyte character strings for the
1858 wide-character configuration.
1861 + fixes to make slk_set() and slk_wset() accept and store multibyte
1862 or multicolumn characters.
1865 + improve color optimization a little by making _nc_do_color() check
1866 if the old/new pairs are equivalent to the default pair 0.
1867 + modify assume_default_colors() to not require that
1868 use_default_colors() be called first.
1871 + modify term_attrs() to use termattrs(), add the extended attributes
1872 such as enter_horizontal_hl_mode for WA_HORIZONTAL to term_attrs().
1873 + add logic in waddch_literal() to clear orphaned cells when one
1874 multi-column character partly overwrites another.
1875 + improved logic for clearing cells when a multi-column character
1876 must be wrapped to a new line.
1877 + revise storage of cells for multi-column characters to correct a
1878 problem with repainting. In the old scheme, it was possible for
1879 doupdate() to decide that only part of a multi-column character
1880 should be repainted since the filler cells stored only an attribute
1881 to denote them as fillers, rather than the character value and the
1885 + minor fixes for traces.
1886 + add SP->_screen_acs_map[], used to ensure that mapping of missing
1887 line-drawing characters is handled properly. For example, ACS_DARROW
1888 is absent from xterm-new, and it was coincidentally displayed the
1892 + amend 20021221 workaround for broken acs to reset the sgr, rmacs
1893 and smacs strings as well. Also modify the check for screen's
1894 limitations in that area to allow the multi-character shift-in
1895 and shift-out which seem to work.
1896 + change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it dynamically
1897 at runtime (Debian #110586).
1900 + correct logic for color pair in setcchar() and getcchar() (patch by
1901 Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
1902 + add t/T commands to ncurses b/B tests to allow a different color to
1903 be tested for the attrset part of the test than is used in the
1907 + fix to make setcchar() to work when its wchar_t* parameter is
1908 pointing to a string which contains more data than can be converted.
1909 + modify wget_wstr() and example in ncurses.c to work if wchar_t and
1910 wint_t are different sizes (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
1913 + remove check in wget_wch() added to fix an infinite loop, appears to
1914 have been working around a transitory glibc bug, and interferes
1915 with normal operation (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
1916 + correct wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not pass the rendition
1917 information (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
1918 + fix aclocal.m4 so that the wide-character version of ncurses gets
1919 compiled as libncursesw.5.dylib, instead of libncurses.5w.dylib
1920 (adapted from patch by James J Ramsey).
1921 + change configure script for --with-caps option to indicate that it
1922 is no longer experimental.
1923 + change configure script to reflect the fact that --enable-widec has
1924 not been "experimental" since 5.3 (report by Bruno Lustosa).
1927 + add 'B' test to ncurses.c, to exercise some wide-character functions.
1930 + modify infocmp -i option to match 8-bit controls against its table
1931 entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry.
1932 + add morphos terminfo entry, improve amiga-8bit entry (Pavel Fedin).
1933 + correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap, e.g.,
1934 using "tic -C" (Redhat Bugzilla #130921).
1935 + modified configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to ensure that if
1936 it defines _POSIX_C_SOURCE, that it defines it to a specific value
1937 (comp.os.stratus newsgroup comment).
1940 + fixes to build with Ada95 binding with gnat 3.4 (all warnings are
1941 fatal, and gnat does not follow the guidelines for pragmas).
1942 However that did find a coding error in Assume_Default_Colors().
1943 + modify several terminfo entries to ensure xterm mouse and cursor
1944 visibility are reset in rs2 string: hurd, putty, gnome,
1945 konsole-base, mlterm, Eterm, screen (Debian #265784, #55637). The
1946 xterm entries are left alone - old ones for compatibility, and the
1947 new ones do not require this change. -TD
1950 + fake a SIGWINCH in newterm() to accommodate buggy terminal emulators
1951 and window managers (Debian #265631).
1952 > terminfo updates -TD
1953 + remove dch/dch1 from rxvt because they are implemented inconsistently
1954 with the common usage of bce/ech
1955 + remove khome from vt220 (vt220's have no home key)
1959 + modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test, adding v/V toggles to cycle through
1960 combinations of video attributes so that for instance bold and
1961 underline can be tested. This made the legend too crowded, added
1962 a help window as well.
1963 + modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test to cycle through default colors if
1964 the -d option is set.
1965 + update putty terminfo entry (Robert de Bath).
1968 + modify test/cardfile.c to allow it to read more data than can be
1970 + correct logic in resizeterm.c which kept it from processing all
1971 levels of window hierarchy (reports by Folkert van Heusden,
1975 + modify "tic -cv" to ignore delays when comparing strings. Also
1976 modify it to ignore a canceled sgr string, e.g., for terminals which
1977 cannot properly combine attributes in one control sequence.
1978 + corrections for gnome and konsole entries (Redhat Bugzilla #122815,
1979 patch by Hans de Goede)

1998 + add configure option --without-xterm-new
2001 + add check in wget_wch() for printable bytes that are not part of a
2002 multibyte character.
2003 + modify wadd_wchnstr() to render text using window's background
2005 + improve tic's check to compare sgr and sgr0.
2006 + fix c++ directory's .cc.i rule.
2007 + modify logic in tgetent() which adjusts the termcap "me" string
2008 to work with ISO-2022 string used in xterm-new (cf: 20010908).
2009 + modify tic's check for conflicting function keys to omit that if

2023 + correct field used for comparing O_ROWMAJOR in set_menu_format()
2024 (report/patch by Tony Li).
2025 + fix a missing nul check in set_field_buffer() from 20040508 changes.

2040 (Debian #249214, report/patch by Jeff Bailey).
2041 + configure-script mods from xterm, e.g., updates to CF_ADD_CFLAGS

2045 + add xterm-xf86-v44

2047 relies on G1 being used via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (report by
2052 + reconsidered winsnstr(), decided after comparing other
2053 implementations that wrapping is an X/Open documentation error.
2054 + modify test/inserts.c to test all flavors of insstr().
2057 + add setlocale() calls to a few test programs which may require it:
2058 demo_forms.c, filter.c, ins_wide.c, inserts.c
2059 + correct a few misspelled function names in ncurses-intro.html (report
2061 + correct internal name of key_defined() manpage, which conflicted with
2065 + correct size of internal pad used for holding wide-character
2066 field_buffer() results.
2067 + modify data_ahead() to work with wide-characters.
2070 + improve description of terminfo if-then-else expressions (suggested
2072 + improve test/ncurses.c 'd' test, allow it to use external file for
2073 initial palette (added xterm-16color.dat and linux-color.dat), and
2074 reset colors to the initial palette when starting/ending the test.
2075 + change limit-check in init_color() to allow r/g/b component to
2076 reach 1000 (cf: 20020928).
2079 + modify form library to use cchar_t's rather than char's in the
2080 wide-character configuration for storing data for field buffers.
2081 + correct logic of win_wchnstr(), which did not work for more than
2085 + replace memset/memcpy usage in form library with for-loops to
2086 simplify changing the datatype of FIELD.buf, part of wide-character
2088 + fix some inconsistent use of #if/#ifdef (report by Alain Guibert).
2091 + modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by
2092 multibyte character strings, in the wide-character configuration
2093 (adapted from patch by Philipp Tomsich).
2094 + add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F"
2095 comparisons. This modifies infocmp to only report extended
2096 capabilities if the -x option is given, making this more consistent
2097 with tic. Some scripts may break, since infocmp previous gave this
2098 information without an option.
2099 + modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the beginning
2100 of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic.
2103 + minor compiler-warning and test-program fixes.
2106 + modify tic's missing-sgr warning to apply to terminfo only.
2107 + free some memory leaks in tic.
2108 + remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending
2109 beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner).
2110 + remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
2111 that extend beyond the screen. Solaris curses does this.
2112 + add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older
2114 + add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog.
2117 + modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond
2118 to an unsigned char.
2119 + add some limit-checks to guard isprint(), etc., from being used on
2120 values that do not fit into an unsigned char (report by Sami Farin).
2123 + fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change.
2126 + modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's
2127 current locale rather than using getenv(). This fixes a case in tin
2128 which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale
2129 is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen).
2130 + add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD.
2131 + add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr
2132 string. This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with
2133 color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places.
2134 + correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the
2135 original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before
2136 20030802 (Debian #237629).
2139 + modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of
2140 A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from
2141 being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the
2142 raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879).
2145 + fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report
2147 + remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses
2148 some apropos script (Debian #237831).
2151 + modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text,
2152 set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing
2153 mode is shown in that test.
2154 + change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake.
2155 + correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which
2156 did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419).
2159 + modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a
2161 + split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it. X/Open states
2162 that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other
2163 insert-functions. Currently it does not wrap.
2164 + check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by
2166 + split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first.
2167 + fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC,
2168 which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report
2169 by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev).
2172 + some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete
2173 (request by Mike Aubury).
2174 + add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of
2176 #define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0
2178 (discussion on XFree86 mailing list).
2181 + modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets
2182 the name of the terminfo library. This would allow a packager to
2183 build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion
2184 with Stanislav Ievlev).
2185 + improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and
2186 $(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew).
2187 + add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename
2188 its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to
2189 ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory
2190 (prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs).
2192 20040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
2195 20040207 pre-release
2196 + minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param,
2197 and do not count %d if it follows a %p.
2198 + correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255
2199 range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests. In POSIX
2200 locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former
2202 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac
2203 OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix
2204 verified by Scott Corscadden).
2206 20040131 pre-release
2207 + modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors
2208 to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo
2209 (patch by Stanislav Ievlev).
2210 + document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage.
2211 + document special features of unctrl() in manpage.
2212 + documented interface changes in INSTALL.
2213 + corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale
2214 (Debian #230335, cf: 971206).
2215 + updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
2216 + fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package.
2217 + minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5.
2219 20040125 pre-release
2220 + amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number
2221 of cells for a possibly multi-cell character. The 20030614 change
2222 forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not
2223 greater than zero. However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the
2224 range 128-255 can give this return value. The logic now simply
2225 ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without
2226 modifying the displayed value.
2228 20040124 pre-release
2229 + looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above)
2230 + modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since
2231 that works better for cross-compiling.
2233 20040117 pre-release
2234 + modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
2235 work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
2236 zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
2237 + add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
2238 to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
2239 + add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
2240 + add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
2242 + modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
2243 (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz (see Debian
2245 + correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
2246 exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss (see Debian #224443)).
2247 + modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
2248 + remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
2249 + make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
2250 + improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
2251 CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
2252 + add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
2253 simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
2254 + add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
2255 patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
2256 + fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
2258 + resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
2259 NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
2260 + make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
2261 will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
2262 + rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool. The
2263 intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
2264 compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
2265 does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).
2267 20040110 pre-release
2268 + change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4
2269 + revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W
2271 + simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the
2272 configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav
2274 + remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav
2276 + modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs
2277 such as tic are not linked with the upper-level ncurses library
2278 (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
2279 + move version.c from ncurses/base to ncurses/tinfo to allow linking
2280 of tic, etc., using libtinfo (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
2283 + adjust -D's to build ncursesw on OpenBSD.
2284 + modify CF_PROG_EXT to make OS/2 build with EXEEXT.
2285 + add pecho_wchar().
2286 + remove <wctype.h> include from lib_slk_wset.c which is not needed (or
2287 available) on older platforms.
2290 + add -D's to build ncursew on FreeBSD 5.1.
2291 + modify shared library configuration for FreeBSD 4.x/5.x to add the
2292 soname information (request by Marc Glisse).
2293 + modify _nc_read_tic_entry() to not use MAX_ALIAS, but PATH_MAX only
2294 for limiting the length of a filename in the terminfo database.
2295 + modify termname() to return the terminal name used by setupterm()
2296 rather than $TERM, without truncating to 14 characters as documented
2297 by X/Open (report by Stanislav Ievlev, cf: 970719).
2298 + re-add definition for _BSD_TYPES, lost in merge (cf: 20031206).
2301 + add configure option --with-manpage-format=catonly to address
2302 behavior of BSDI, allow install of man+cat files on NetBSD, whose
2303 behavior has diverged by requiring both to be present.
2304 + remove leading blanks from comment-lines in manlinks.sed script to
2305 work with Tru64 4.0d.
2306 + add screen.linux terminfo entry (discussion on mutt-users mailing
2310 + add a check for tic to flag missing backslashes for termcap
2311 continuation lines. ncurses reads the whole entry, but termcap
2312 applications do not.
2313 + add configure option "--with-manpage-aliases" extending
2314 "--with-manpage-aliases" to provide the option of generating ".so"
2315 files rather than symbolic links for manpage aliases.
2316 + add bool definition in include/curses.h.in for configurations with no
2317 usable C++ compiler (cf: 20030607).
2318 + fix pathname of SigAction.h for building with --srcdir (reported by
2322 + folded ncurses/base/sigaction.c into includes of ncurses/SigAction.h,
2323 since that header is used only within ncurses/tty/lib_tstp.c, for
2324 non-POSIX systems (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev).
2325 + remove obsolete _nc_outstr() function (report by Stanislav Ievlev
2326 <inger@altlinux.org>).
2327 + add test/background.c and test/color_set.c
2328 + modify color_set() function to work with color pair 0 (report by
2329 George Andreou <gbandreo@tem.uoc.gr>).
2330 + add configure option --with-trace, since defining TRACE seems too
2331 awkward for some cases.
2332 + remove a call to _nc_free_termtype() from read_termtype(), since the
2333 corresponding buffer contents were already zeroed by a memset (cf:
2335 + improve configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and related definitions,
2336 adding special cases for Solaris' __EXTENSIONS__ and FreeBSD's
2337 __BSD_TYPES (reports by Marc Glisse <marc.glisse@normalesup.org>).
2338 + small fixes to compile on Solaris and IRIX64 using cc.
2339 + correct typo in check for pre-POSIX sort options in MKkey_defs.sh
2343 + modify _nc_gettime() to avoid a problem with arithmetic on unsigned
2344 values (Philippe Blain).
2345 + improve the nanosleep() logic in napms() by checking for EINTR and
2346 restarting (Philippe Blain).
2347 + correct expression for "%D" in lib_tgoto.c (Juha Jarvi
2351 + add linux-vt terminfo entry (Andrey V Lukyanov <land@long.yar.ru>).
2352 + allow "\|" escape in terminfo; tic should not warn about this.
2353 + save the full pathname of the trace-file the first time it is opened,
2354 to avoid creating it in different directories if the application
2355 opens and closes it while changing its working directory.
2356 + modify configure script to provide a non-empty default for
2360 + add DJGPP to special case of DOS-style drive letters potentially
2361 appearing in TERMCAP environment variable.
2362 + fix some spelling in comments (reports by Jason McIntyre, Jonathon
2364 + update config.guess, config.sub
2367 + fix a memory leak in error-return from setupterm() (report by
2368 Stanislav Ievlev <inger@altlinux.org>).
2369 + use EXEEXT and OBJEXT consistently in makefiles.
2370 + amend fixes for cross-compiling to use separate executable-suffix
2371 BUILD_EXEEXT (cf: 20031018).
2372 + modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for sort utility that does not
2373 recognize key options, e.g., busybox (report by Peter S Mazinger
2375 + fix potential out-of-bounds indexing in _nc_infotocap() (found by
2376 David Krause using some of the new malloc debugging features
2377 under OpenBSD, patch by Ted Unangst).
2378 + modify CF_LIB_SUFFIX for Itanium releases of HP-UX, which use a
2379 ".so" suffix (patch by Jonathan Ward <Jonathan.Ward@hp.com>).
2382 + update terminfo for xterm-xfree86 -TD
2383 + add check for multiple "tc=" clauses in a termcap to tic.
2384 + check for missing op/oc in tic.
2385 + correct _nc_resolve_uses() and _nc_merge_entry() to allow infocmp and
2386 tic to show cancelled capabilities. These functions were ignoring
2387 the state of the target entry, which should be untouched if cancelled.
2388 + correct comment in tack/output.c (Debian #215806).
2389 + add some null-pointer checks to lib_options.c (report by Michael
2391 + regenerated html documentation.
2392 + correction to tar-copy.sh, remove a trap command that resulted in
2393 leaving temporary files (cf: 20030510).
2394 + remove contact/maintainer addresses for Juergen Pfeifer (his request).
2397 + updated test/configure to reflect changes for libtool (cf: 20030830).
2398 + fix several places in tack/pad.c which tested and used the parameter-
2399 and parameterless strings inconsistently, i.e., in pad_rin(),
2400 pad_il(), pad_indn() and pad_dl() (Debian #215805).
2401 + minor fixes for configure script and makefiles to cleanup executables
2402 generated when cross-compiling for DJGPP.
2403 + modify infocmp to omit check for $TERM for operations that do not
2404 require it, e.g., "infocmp -e" used to build fallback list (report by
2408 + add terminfo entries for DJGPP.
2409 + updated note about maintainer in ncurses-intro.html
2412 + update terminfo entries for gnome terminal.
2413 + modify tack to reset colors after each color test, correct a place
2414 where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode.
2415 + improve tack's bce test by making it set colors other than black
2417 + plug a potential recursion between napms() and _nc_timed_wait()
2418 (report by Philippe Blain).
2421 + add --with-rel-version option to allow workaround to allow making
2422 libtool on Darwin generate the "same" library names as with the
2423 --with-shared option. The Darwin ld program does not work well
2424 with a zero as the minor-version value (request by Chris Zubrzycki).
2425 + modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro to work with cross-compiling.
2426 + modify tack to allow it to run from fallback terminfo data.
2427 > patch by Philippe Blain:
2428 + improve PutRange() by adjusting call to EmitRange() and corresponding
2429 return-value to not emit unchanged characters on the end of the
2431 + improve a check for changed-attribute by exiting a loop when the
2433 + improve logic in TransformLine(), eliminating a duplicated comparison
2434 in the clr_bol logic.
2437 > patch by Philippe Blain:
2438 + in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
2439 move the label 'nonlocal' just before the second gettimeofday() to
2440 be able to compute the diff time when 'goto nonlocal' used.
2441 Rename 'msec' to 'microsec' in the debug-message.
2442 + in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
2443 Use _nc_outch() in carriage return/newline movement instead of
2444 putchar() which goes to stdout. Move test for xold>0 out of loop.
2445 + in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c,
2446 Set the flag SP->_buffered at the end of operations when all has been
2447 successful (typeMalloc can fail).
2448 + simplify NC_BUFFERED macro by moving check inside _nc_setbuf().
2451 + modify configure script to avoid using "head -1", which does not
2452 work if POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set.
2453 + modify run_tic.in to avoid using wrong shared libraries when
2454 cross-compiling (Dan Kegel).
2457 + alter configure script help message to make it clearer that
2458 --with-build-cc does not specify a cross-compiler (suggested by Dan
2459 Kegel <dank@kegel.com>).
2460 + modify configure script to accommodate libtool 1.5, as well as add an
2461 parameter to the "--with-libtool" option which can specify the
2462 pathname of libtool (report by Chris Zubrzycki). We note that
2463 libtool 1.5 has more than one bug in its C++ support, so it is not
2464 able to install libncurses++, for instance, if $DESTDIR or the option
2465 --with-install-prefix is used.
2468 > patch by Philippe Blain:
2469 + move assignments to SP->_cursrow, SP->_curscol into online_mvcur().
2470 + make baudrate computation in delay_output() consistent with the
2471 assumption in _nc_mvcur_init(), i.e., a byte is 9 bits.
2474 + modify logic in waddch_literal() to take into account zh_TW.Big5
2475 whose multibyte sequences may contain "printable" characters, e.g.,
2476 a "g" in the sequence "\247g" (Debian #204889, cf: 20030621).
2477 + improve storage used by _nc_safe_strcpy() by ensuring that the size
2478 is reset based on the initialization call, in case it were called
2479 after other strcpy/strcat calls (report by Philippe Blain).
2480 > patch by Philippe Blain:
2481 + remove an unused ifdef for REAL_ATTR & WANT_CHAR
2482 + correct a place where _cup_cost was used rather than _cuu_cost
2485 + fix a small memory leak in _nc_free_termtype().
2486 + close trace-file if trace() is called with a zero parameter.
2487 + free memory allocated for soft-key strings, in delscreen().
2488 + fix an allocation size in safe_sprintf.c for the "*" format code.
2489 + correct safe_sprintf.c to not return a null pointer if the format
2490 happens to be an empty string. This applies to the "configure
2491 --enable-safe-sprintf" option (Redhat #101486).
2494 + modify casts used for ABSENT_BOOLEAN and CANCELLED_BOOLEAN (report by
2496 > patch by Philippe Blain:
2497 + change padding for change_scroll_region to not be proportional to
2498 the size of the scroll-region.
2499 + correct error-return in _nc_safe_strcat().
2502 + correct limit-checks in _nc_scroll_window() (report and test-case by
2503 Thomas Graf <graf@dms.at> cf: 20011020).
2504 + re-order configure checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE to avoid conflict with
2508 + use clr_eol in preference to blanks for bce terminals, so select and
2509 paste will have fewer trailing blanks, e.g., when using xterm
2510 (request by Vincent Lefevre).
2511 + correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
2512 + add configure --with-abi-version option (discussion with Charles
2514 > cygwin changes from Charles Wilson:
2515 + aclocal.m4: on cygwin, use autodetected prefix for import
2516 and static lib, but use "cyg" for DLL.
2517 + include/ncurses_dll.h: correct the comments to reflect current
2518 status of cygwin/mingw port. Fix compiler warning.
2519 + misc/run_tic.in: ensure that tic.exe can find the uninstalled
2520 DLL, by adding the lib-directory to the PATH variable.
2521 + misc/terminfo.src (nxterm|xterm-color): make xterm-color
2522 primary instead of nxterm, to match XFree86's xterm.terminfo
2523 usage and to prevent circular links.
2524 (rxvt): add additional codes from rxvt.org.
2525 (rxvt-color): new alias
2526 (rxvt-xpm): new alias
2527 (rxvt-cygwin): like rxvt, but with special acsc codes.
2528 (rxvt-cygwin-native): ditto. rxvt may be run under XWindows, or
2529 with a "native" MSWin GUI. Each takes different acsc codes,
2530 which are both different from the "normal" rxvt's acsc.
2531 (cygwin): cygwin-in-cmd.exe window. Lots of fixes.
2533 + mk-1st.awk: use "cyg" for the DLL prefix, but "lib" for import
2537 + update config.guess, config.sub
2538 + add triples for configuring shared libraries with the Debian
2539 GNU/FreeBSD packages (patch by Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>).
2542 + modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS so it only applies to gcc, not g++. Some
2543 platforms have installed g++ along with the native C compiler, which
2544 would not accept gcc warning options.
2545 + add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 when configuring with --enable-widec, to
2546 get mbstate_t declaration on HPUX 11.11 (report by David Ellement).
2547 + add _nc_pathlast() to get rid of casts in _nc_basename() calls.
2548 + correct a sign-extension in wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() from
2549 20030628 (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
2550 + work around omission of btowc() and wctob() from wide-character
2551 support (sic) in NetBSD 1.6 using mbtowc() and wctomb() (report by
2553 + add portability note to curs_get_wstr.3x (Debian #199957).
2556 + rewrite wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to call waddch() and wechochar()
2557 respectively, to avoid calling waddch_noecho() with wide-character
2558 data, since that function assumes its input is 8-bit data.
2559 Similarly, modify waddnwstr() to call wadd_wch().
2560 + remove logic from waddnstr() which transformed multibyte character
2561 strings into wide-characters. Rewrite of waddch_literal() from
2562 20030621 assumes its input is raw multibyte data rather than wide
2563 characters (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
2566 + write getyx() and related 2-return macros in terms of getcury(),
2568 + modify waddch_literal() in case an application passes bytes of a
2569 multibyte character directly to waddch(). In this case, waddch()
2570 must reassemble the bytes into a wide-character (report by Tomohiro
2571 Kubota <kubota@debian.org>).
2574 + modify waddch_literal() in case a multibyte value occupies more than
2576 + modify PutAttrChar() to compute the number of character cells that
2577 are used in multibyte values. This fixes a problem displaying
2578 double-width characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen
2579 <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
2580 + add a null-pointer check for result of keyname() in _tracechar()
2581 + modify _tracechar() to work around glibc sprintf bug.
2584 + add a call to setlocale() in cursesmain.cc, making demo display
2585 properly in a UTF-8 locale.
2586 + add a fallback definition in curses.priv.h for MB_LEN_MAX (prompted
2587 by discussion with Gabor Z Papp).
2588 + use macros NCURSES_ACS() and NCURSES_WACS() to hide cast needed to
2589 appease -Wchar-subscript with g++ 3.3 (Debian #195732).
2590 + fix a redefinition of $RANLIB in the configure script when libtool
2591 is used, which broke configure on Mac OS X (report by Chris Zubrzycki
2593 + simplify ifdef for bool declaration in curses.h.in (suggested by
2594 Albert Chin-A-Young).
2595 + remove configure script check to allow -Wconversion for older
2596 versions of gcc (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young).
2599 + regenerated html manpages.
2600 + modify ifdef's in curses.h.in that disabled use of __attribute__()
2601 for g++, since recent versions implement the cases which ncurses uses
2603 + modify _nc_get_token() to handle a case where an entry has no
2604 description, and capabilities begin on the same line as the entry
2606 + fix a typo in ncurses_dll.h reported by gcc 3.3.
2607 + add an entry for key_defined.3x to man_db.renames.
2610 + modify setcchar() to allow converting control characters to complex
2611 characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
2612 + add tkterm entry -TD
2613 + modify parse_entry.c to allow a terminfo entry with a leading
2614 2-character name (report by Don Libes).
2615 + corrected acsc in screen.teraterm, which requires a PC-style mapping.
2616 + fix trace statements in read_entry.c to use lseek() rather than
2618 + fix signed/unsigned warnings from Sun's compiler (gcc should give
2619 these warnings, but it is unpredictable).
2620 + modify configure script to omit -Winline for gcc 3.3, since that
2622 + modify manlinks.sed to add a few functions that were overlooked since
2623 they return function pointers: field_init, field_term, form_init,
2624 form_term, item_init, item_term, menu_init and menu_term.
2627 + prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot
2628 be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report
2629 by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.com>).
2630 + change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted
2632 + add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there
2633 are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the
2634 current test programs.
2635 + corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not
2636 convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it.
2637 + corrections to lib_get_wstr.c:
2638 + null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally
2640 + map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into
2641 key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not
2642 mentioned in the terminfo.
2643 + modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line
2644 drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221).
2647 + make typography for program options in manpages consistent (report
2648 by Miloslav Trmac <mitr@volny.cz>).
2649 + correct dependencies in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, so the builds with
2650 "--srcdir" work (report by Warren L Dodge).
2651 + correct missing definition of $(CC) in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in
2652 (reported by Warren L Dodge <warrend@mdhost.cse.tek.com>).
2653 + fix typos and whitespace in manpages (patch by Jason McIntyre
2654 <jmc@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl>).
2657 + fix form_driver() cases for REQ_CLR_EOF, REQ_CLR_EOL, REQ_DEL_CHAR,
2658 REQ_DEL_PREV and REQ_NEW_LINE, which did not ensure the cursor was at
2659 the editing position before making modifications.
2660 + add test/demo_forms and associated test/edit_field.c demos.
2661 + modify test/configure.in to use test/modules for the list of objects
2662 to compile rather than using the list of programs.
2665 + modify logic of acsc to use the original character if no mapping is
2666 defined, noting that Solaris does this.
2667 + modify ncurses 'b' test to avoid using the acs_map[] array since
2668 20021231 changes it to no longer contain information from the acsc
2670 + modify makefile rules in c++, progs, tack and test to ensure that
2671 the compiler flags (e.g., $CFLAGS or $CCFLAGS) are used in the link
2672 command (report by Jose Luis Rico Botella <informatica@serpis.com>).
2673 + modify soft-key initialization to use A_REVERSE if A_STANDOUT would
2674 not be shown when colors are used, i.e., if ncv#1 is set in the
2675 terminfo as is done in "screen".
2678 + add a test for slk_color(), in ncurses.c
2679 + fix some issues reported by valgrind in the slk_set() and slk_wset()
2680 code, from recent rewrite.
2681 + modify ncurses 'E' test to use show previous label via slk_label(),
2683 + modify wide-character versions of NewChar(), NewChar2() macros to
2684 ensure that the whole struct is initialized.
2687 + modify setupterm() to check if the terminfo and terminal-modes have
2688 already been read. This ensures that it does not reinvoke
2689 def_prog_mode() when an application calls more than one function,
2690 such as tgetent() and initscr() (report by Olaf Buddenhagen).
2693 + add 'E' test to ncurses.c, to exercise slk_wset().
2694 + correct handling of carriage-return in wgetn_wstr(), used in demo of
2696 + first draft of slk_wset() function.
2699 + improved warnings in tic when suppressing items to fit in termcap's
2701 + built a list in test/README showing which externals are being used
2702 by either programs in the test-directory or via internal library
2704 + adjust include-options in CF_ETIP_DEFINES to avoid missing
2705 ncurses_dll.h, fixing special definitions that may be needed for
2706 etip.h (reported by Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>).
2709 + minor fixes for cardfile.c, to make it write the updated fields to
2710 a file when ^W is given.
2711 + add/use _nc_trace_bufcat() to eliminate some fixed buffer limits in
2715 + correct a case in _nc_remove_string(), used by define_key(), to avoid
2716 infinite loop if the given string happens to be a substring of other
2717 strings which are assigned to keys (report by John McCutchan).
2718 + add key_defined() function, to tell which keycode a string is bound
2719 to (discussion with John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org>).
2720 + correct keybound(), which reported definitions in the wrong table,
2721 i.e., the list of definitions which are disabled by keyok().
2722 + modify demo_keydef.c to show the details it changes, and to check
2726 + restructured test/configure script, make it work for libncursesw.
2727 + add description of link_fieldtype() to manpage (report by
2728 L Dee Holtsclaw <dee@sunbeltsoft.com>).
2731 + corrected ifdef's relating to configure check for wchar_t, etc.
2732 + if the output is a socket or other non-tty device, use 1 millisecond
2733 for the cost in mvcur; previously it was 9 milliseconds because the
2734 baudrate was not known.
2735 + in _nc_get_tty_mode(), initialize the TTY buffer on error, since
2736 glibc copies uninitialized data in that case, as noted by valgrind.
2737 + modify tput to use the same parameter analysis as tparm() does, to
2738 provide for user-defined strings, e.g., for xterm title, a
2739 corresponding capability might be
2741 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid passing "#" tokens through the C
2742 preprocessor. This works around Mac OS X's preprocessor, which
2743 insists on adding a blank on each side of the token (report/analysis
2744 by Kevin Murphy <murphy@genome.chop.edu>).
2747 + add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely
2748 on preprocessor definitions. Also work around for gcc fixinclude
2749 bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols
2750 apparently typedef'd.
2751 + if database is disabled, do not generate run_tic.sh
2752 + minor fixes for memory-leak checking when termcap is read.
2755 + add checking in tic for incomplete line-drawing character mapping.
2756 + update configure script to reflect fix for AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL,
2757 which is broken in autoconf 2.5x for Mac OS X 10.2.3 (report by
2758 Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl>).
2759 + make return value from _nc_printf_string() consistent. Before,
2760 depending on whether --enable-safe-sprintf was used, it might not be
2761 cached for reallocating.
2764 + minor fixes for memory-leak checking in lib_tparm.c, hardscroll.c
2765 + correct a potentially-uninitialized value if _read_termtype() does
2766 not read as much data as expected (report by Wolfgang Rohdewald
2768 + correct several places where the aclocal.m4 macros relied on cache
2769 variable names which were incompatible (as usual) between autoconf
2770 2.13 and 2.5x, causing the test for broken-linker to give incorrect
2771 results (reports by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl> and Thomas Esser
2772 <te@dbs.uni-hannover.de>).
2773 + do not try to open gpm mouse driver if standard output is not a tty;
2774 the gpm library does not make this check (bug report for dialog
2775 by David Oliveira <davidoliveira@develop.prozone.ws>).
2778 + modified emx.src to correspond more closely to terminfo.src, added
2779 emx-base to the latter -TD
2780 + add configure option for FreeBSD sysmouse, --with-sysmouse, and
2781 implement support for that in lib_mouse.c, lib_getch.c
2784 + revert 20030105 change to can_clear_with(), does not work for the
2785 case where the update is made on cells which are blanks with
2786 attributes, e.g., reverse.
2787 + improve ifdef's to guard against redefinition of wchar_t and wint_t
2788 in curses.h (report by Urs Jansen).
2791 + improve mvcur() by checking if it is safe to move when video
2792 attributes are set (msgr), and if not, reset/restore attributes
2793 within that function rather than doing it separately in the GoTo()
2794 function in tty_update.c (suggested by Philippe Blain).
2795 + add a message in run_tic.in to explain more clearly what does not
2796 work when attempting to create a symbolic link for /usr/lib/terminfo
2797 on OS/2 and other platforms with no symbolic links (report by John
2799 + change several sed scripts to avoid using "\+" since it is not a BRE
2800 (basic regular expression). One instance caused terminfo.5 to be
2801 misformatted on FreeBSD (report by Kazuo Horikawa
2802 <horikawa@FreeBSD.org> (see FreeBSD docs/46709)).
2803 + correct misspelled 'wint_t' in curs_get_wch.3x (Michael Elkins).
2806 + improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic
2807 variables (comments by Mark I Manning IV <mark4th@earthlink.net>).
2808 + demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to
2809 use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a
2810 specialized type for the middle initial/name.
2811 + fix MKterminfo.sh, another workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature
2813 > patch by Philippe Blain:
2814 + optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter
2815 is indeed a "blank".
2816 + simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear
2817 sections as small as one line.
2818 + improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying
2820 + use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since
2821 the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines
2822 affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region.
2825 + rewrite of lib_acs.c conflicts with copying of SCREEN acs_map to/from
2826 global acs_map[] array; removed the lines that did the copying.
2829 + change some overlooked tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp()
2830 (report by Philippe Blain).
2831 + modify lib_getch.c to avoid recursion via wgetnstr() when the input
2832 is not a tty and consequently mode-changes do not work (report by
2833 <R.Chamberlin@querix.com>).
2834 + rewrote lib_acs.c to allow PutAttrChar() to decide how to render
2835 alternate-characters, i.e., to work with Linux console and UTF-8
2837 + correct line/column reference in adjust_window(), needed to make
2838 special windows such as curscr track properly when resizing (report
2839 by Lucas Gonze <lgonze@panix.com>).
2840 > patch by Philippe Blain:
2841 + correct the value used for blank in ClrBottom() (broken in 20000708).
2842 + correct an off-by-one in GoTo() parameter in _nc_scrolln().
2845 + change several tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp(), to
2846 enable padding which may be needed for some terminals (patch by
2848 + use '%' as sed substitute delimiter in run_tic script to avoid
2849 problems with pathname delimiters such as ':' and '@' (report by John
2851 + implement a workaround so that line-drawing works with screen's
2852 crippled UTF-8 support (tested with 3.9.13). This only works with
2853 the wide-character support (--enable-widec); the normal library will
2854 simply suppress line-drawing when running in a UTF-8 locale in screen.
2857 + allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
2858 overridden from the environment.
2859 + make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with
2860 the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki).
2861 + modify ncurses/modules to allow
2862 configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs
2863 to build (report by Gary Samuelson).
2864 + fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by
2865 Gary Samuelson <gary.samuelson@verizon.com>).
2866 + correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which
2867 force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report
2868 by Sam Varshavchik).
2869 + small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which
2870 gnatmake adds to its version-message.
2871 > Maciej W Rozycki <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>:
2872 + use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross
2874 + use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
2875 comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
2876 traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.
2877 + change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host"
2878 when referring to the --with-build-XXX options.
2881 + modify CF_GNAT_VERSION to print gnatmake's version, and to allow for
2882 possible gnat versions such as 3.2 (report by Chris Lingard
2883 <chris@stockwith.co.uk>).
2884 + modify #define's for CKILL and other default control characters in
2885 tset to use the system's default values if they are defined.
2886 + correct interchanged defaults for kill and interrupt characters
2887 in tset, which caused it to report unnecessarily (Debian #171583).
2888 + repair check for missing C++ compiler, which is broken in autoconf
2889 2.5x by hardcoding it to g++ (report by Martin Mokrejs).
2890 + update config.guess, config.sub (2002-11-30)
2891 + modify configure script to skip --with-shared, etc., when the
2892 --with-libtool option is given, since they would be ignored anyway.
2893 + fix to allow "configure --with-libtool --with-termlib" to build.
2894 + modify configure script to show version number of libtool, to help
2895 with bug reports. libtool still gets confused if the installed
2896 ncurses libraries are old, since it ignores the -L options at some
2897 point (tested with libtool 1.3.3 and 1.4.3).
2898 + reorder configure script's updating of $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to
2899 prevent -I options in the user's environment from introducing
2900 conflicts with the build -I options (may be related to reports by
2901 Patrick Ash and George Goffe).
2902 + rename test/define_key.c to test/demo_defkey.c, test/keyok.c to
2903 test/demo_keyok.c to allow building these with libtool.
2906 + add example program test/define_key.c for define_key().
2907 + add example program test/keyok.c for keyok().
2908 + add example program test/ins_wide.c for wins_wch() and wins_wstr().
2909 + modify wins_wch() and wins_wstr() to interpret tabs by using the
2910 winsch() internal function.
2911 + modify setcchar() to allow for wchar_t input strings that have
2912 more than one spacing character.
2915 + fix a boundary check in lib_insch.c (patch by Philippe Blain).
2916 + change type for *printw functions from NCURSES_CONST to const
2917 (prompted by comment by Pedro Palhoto Matos <plpm@mega.ist.utl.pt>,
2918 but really from a note on X/Open's website stating that either is
2919 acceptable, and the latter will be used in a future revision).
2920 + add xterm-1002, xterm-1003 terminfo entries to demonstrate changes in
2921 lib_mouse.c (20021026) -TD
2922 + add screen-bce, screen-s entries from screen 3.9.13 (report by
2923 Adam Lazur <zal@debian.org>) -TD
2924 + add mterm terminfo entries -TD
2927 + split-out useful fragments in terminfo for vt100 and vt220 numeric
2928 keypad, i.e., vt100+keypad, vt100+pfkeys, vt100+fnkeys and
2929 vt220+keypad. The last as embedded in various entries had ka3 and
2930 kb2 interchanged (report/discussion with Leonard den Ottolander
2931 <leonardjo@hetnet.nl>).
2932 + add check in tic for keypads consistent with vt100 layout.
2933 + improve checks in tic for color capabilities
2936 + check for missing/empty/illegal terminfo name in _nc_read_entry()
2937 (report by Martin Mokrejs, where $TERM was set to an empty string).
2938 + rewrote lib_insch.c, combining it with lib_insstr.c so both handle
2939 tab and other control characters consistently (report by Philippe
2941 + remove an #undef for KEY_EVENT from curses.tail used in the
2942 experimental NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS feature. The #undef confuses
2943 dpkg's build script (Debian #165897).
2944 + fix MKlib_gen.sh, working around the ironically named POSIXLY_CORRECT
2945 feature of GNU sed 4.0 (reported by Ervin Nemeth <airwin@inf.bme.hu>).
2948 + implement logic in lib_mouse.c to handle position reports which are
2949 generated when XFree86 xterm is initialized with private modes 1002
2950 or 1003. These are returned to the application as the
2951 REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION mask, which was not implemented. Tested both
2952 with ncurses 'a' menu (prompted by discussion with Larry Riedel
2953 <Larry@Riedel.org>).
2954 + modify lib_mouse.c to look for "XM" terminfo string, which allows
2955 one to override the escape sequence used to enable/disable mouse
2956 mode. In particular this works for XFree86 xterm private modes
2957 1002 and 1003. If "XM" is missing (note that this is an extended
2958 name), lib_mouse uses the conventional private mode 1000.
2959 + correct NOT_LOCAL() macro in lib_mvcur.c to refer to screen_columns
2960 where it used screen_lines (report by Philippe Blain).
2961 + correct makefile rules for the case when both --with-libtool and
2962 --with-gpm are given (report by Mr E_T <troll@logi.net.au>).
2963 + add note to terminfo manpage regarding the differences between
2964 setaf/setab and setf/setb capabilities (report by Pavel Roskin).
2967 + remove redundant initialization of TABSIZE in newterm(), since it is
2968 already done in setupterm() (report by Philippe Blain).
2969 + add test/inserts.c, to test winnstr() and winsch().
2970 + replace 'sort' in dist.mk with script that sets locale to POSIX.
2971 + update URLs in announce.html.in (patch by Frederic L W Meunier).
2972 + remove glibc add-on files, which are no longer needed (report by
2973 Frederic L W Meunier).
2975 20021012 5.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
2976 + modify ifdef's in etip.h.in to allow the etip.h header to compile
2977 with gcc 3.2 (patch by Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy@is-vn.bg>).
2978 + add logic to setupterm() to make it like initscr() and newterm(),
2979 by checking for $NCURSES_TRACE environment variable and enabling
2980 the debug trace in that case.
2981 + modify setupterm() to ensure that it initializes the baudrate, for
2982 applications such as tput (report by Frank Henigman).
2983 + modify definition of bits used for command-line and library debug
2984 traces to avoid overlap, using new definition TRACE_SHIFT to relate
2986 + document tput's interpretation of parameterized strings according to
2987 whether parameters are given, etc. (discussion with Robert De Bath).
2989 20021005 pre-release
2990 + correct winnwstr() to account for non-character cells generated when
2991 a double-width character is added (report by Michael Bienia
2992 <michael@vorlon.ping.de>).
2993 + modify _nc_viswbuf2n() to provide better results using wctomb().
2994 + correct logic in _nc_varargs() which broke tracing of parameters for
2995 formats such as "%.*s".
2996 + correct scale factor in linux-c and linux-c-nc terminfo entries
2997 (report Floyd Davidson).
2998 + change tic -A option to -t, add the same option to infocmp for
3000 + correct "%c" implementation in lib_tparm.c, which did not map a null
3001 character to a 128 (cf: 980620) (patch by Frank Henigman
3002 <fjhenigman@mud.cgl.uwaterloo.ca>).
3004 20020928 pre-release
3005 + modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for POSIX sort -k option, use that if
3006 it is found, to accommodate newer utility which dropped the
3007 compatibility support for +number options (reported by Andrey A
3009 + modify linux terminfo entry to use color palette feature from
3010 linux-c-nc entry (comments by Tomasz Wasiak and Floyd Davidson).
3011 + restore original color definitions in endwin() if init_color() was
3012 used, and resume those colors on the next doupdate() or refresh()
3013 (report by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@komputom.com.pl>).
3014 + improve debug-traces by modifying MKlib_gen.sh to generate calls
3015 to returnBool() and returnAttr().
3016 + add/use _nc_visbufn() and _nc_viswbufn() to limit the debug trace
3017 of waddnstr() and similar functions to match the parameters as used.
3018 + add/use _nc_retrace_bool() and _nc_retrace_unsigned().
3019 + correct type used by _nc_retrace_chtype().
3020 + add debug traces to some functions in lib_mouse.c
3021 + modify lib_addch.c to handle non-spacing characters.
3022 + correct parameter of RemAttr() in lib_bkgd.c, which caused the c++
3023 demo's boxes to lose the A_ALTCHARSET flag (broken in 20020629).
3024 + correct width computed in _tracedump(), which did not account for
3025 the attributes (broken in 20010602).
3026 + modify test/tracemunch to replace addresses for windows other than
3027 curscr, newscr and stdscr with window0, window1, etc.
3029 20020921 pre-release
3030 + redid fix for edit_man.sed path.
3031 + workaround for Cygwin bug which makes subprocess writes to stdout
3032 result in core dump.
3033 + documented getbegx(), etc.
3034 + minor fixes to configure script to use '%' consistently as a sed
3035 delimiter rather than '@'.
3036 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3037 + add check in lib_overlay.c to ensure that the windows to be merged
3038 actually overlap, and in copywin(), limit the area to be touched
3039 to the lines given for the destination window.
3041 20020914 pre-release
3042 + modified curses.h so that if the wide-character version is installed
3043 overwriting /usr/include/curses.h, and if it relied on libutf8.h,
3044 then applications that use that header for wide-character support
3045 must define HAVE_LIBUTF8_H.
3046 + modify putwin(), getwin() and dupwin() to allow them to operate on
3047 pads (request by Philippe Blain).
3048 + correct attribute-merging in wborder(), broken in 20020216 (report
3049 by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@grubasek.komputom.com.pl>).
3050 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3051 + corrected pop-counts in tparam_internal() to '!' and '~' cases.
3052 + use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in one place that used sizeof(chtype).
3053 + remove some unused variables from mvcur test-driver.
3055 20020907 pre-release
3056 + change configure script to allow install of widec-character
3057 (ncursesw) headers to overwrite normal (ncurses) headers, since the
3058 latter is a compatible subset of the former.
3059 + fix path of edit_man.sed in configure script, needed to regenerate
3060 html manpages on Debian.
3061 + fix mismatched enums in vsscanf.c, which caused warning on Solaris.
3062 + update README.emx to reflect current patch used for autoconf.
3063 + change web- and ftp-site to invisible-island.net
3064 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3065 + change case for 'P' in tparam_internal() to indicate that it pops
3066 a variable from the stack.
3067 + correct sense of precision and width in parse_format(), to avoid
3069 + modify lib_tparm.c, absorb really_get_space() into get_space().
3070 + modify getwin() and dupwin() to copy the _notimeout, _idlok and
3071 _idcok window fields.
3072 + better fix for _nc_set_type(), using typeMalloc().
3074 20020901 pre-release
3075 + change minor version to 3, i.e., ncurses 5.3
3076 + update config.guess, config.sub
3077 + retest build with each configure option; minor ifdef fixes.
3078 + make keyname() return a null pointer rather than "UNKNOWN STRING" to
3080 + modify handling of wide line-drawing character functions to use the
3081 normal line-drawing characters when not in UTF-8 locale.
3082 + add check/fix to comp_parse.c to suppress warning about missing acsc
3083 string. This happens in configurations where raw termcap information
3084 is processed; tic already does this and other checks.
3085 + modify tic's check for ich/ich1 versus rmir/smir to only warn about
3086 ich1, to match xterm patch #70 notes.
3087 + moved information for ripped-off lines into SCREEN struct to allow
3088 use in resizeterm().
3089 + add experimental wgetch_events(), ifdef'd with NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
3090 (adapted from patch by Ilya Zakharevich - see ncurses/README.IZ).
3091 + amend check in kgetch() from 20020824 to look only for function-keys,
3092 otherwise escape sequences are not resolved properly.
3093 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3094 + removed redundant assignment to SP->_checkfd from newterm().
3095 + check return-value of setupterm() in restartterm().
3096 + use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in a few places that used sizeof(chtype).
3097 + prevent dupwin() from duplicating a pad.
3098 + prevent putwin() from writing a pad.
3099 + use typeRealloc() or typeMalloc() in preference to direct calls on
3103 + add a check in kgetch() for cooked characters in the fifo to avoid
3104 calling fifo_push() when a KEY_RESIZE is available (report/analysis
3105 by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>).
3106 + fix an overlooked case for bugzilla #68199 (Philippe Blain).
3107 + ensure clearerr() is called before using ferror() e.g., in
3108 lib_screen.c (report by Philippe Blain).
3111 + modify lib_screen.c and lib_newwin.c to maintain the SCREEN-specific
3112 pointers for curscr/stdscr/newscr when scr_save() and scr_restore()
3113 modify the global curscr/stdscr/newscr variables. Fixes Redhat
3114 bugzilla #68199 dated 2002-07-07.
3115 + add checks for null pointer in calls to tparm() and tgoto() based on
3116 FreeBSD bug report. If ncurses were built with termcap support, and
3117 the first call to tgoto() were a zero-length string, the result would
3118 be a null pointer, which was not handled properly.
3119 + correct a typo in terminfo.head, which gave the octal code for colon
3121 + remove the "tic -u" option from 20020810, since it did not account
3122 for nested "tc=" clauses, and when that was addressed, was still
3126 + add tic -A option to suppress capabilities which are commented out
3127 when translating to termcap.
3128 + add tic -u option to provide older behavior of "tc=" clauses.
3129 + modified tic to expand all but the final "tc=" clause in a termcap
3130 entry, to accommodate termcap libraries which do not handle multiple
3132 + correct typo in curs_inopts.3x regarding CS8/CS7 usage (report by
3134 + remove a couple of redundant uses of A_ATTRIBUTES in expressions
3135 using AttrOf(), which already incorporates that mask (report by
3137 + document TABSIZE variable.
3138 + add NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS environment variable, to allow users to
3139 override compiled-in default black-on-white assumption used in
3140 assume_default_colors().
3141 + correct an off-by-one comparison against max_colors in COLORFGBG
3143 + correct a use of uninitialized memory found by valgrind (reported by
3144 Olaf Buddenhagen <olafBuddenhagen@web.de>).
3145 + modified wresize() to ensure that a failed realloc will not corrupt
3146 the window structure, and to make subwindows fit within the resized
3147 window (completes Debian #87678, #101699)
3150 + fix an off-by-one in lib_pad.c check for limits of pad (patch by
3152 + revise logic for BeOS in lib_twait.c altered in 20011013 to restore
3153 logic used by lib_getch.c's support for GPM or EMX mouse (report by
3155 + remove NCURSES_CONST from several prototypes in curses.wide, to make
3156 the --enable-const --enable-widec configure options to work together
3157 (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@yahoo.com>).
3160 + finish no-leak checking in cardfile.c, using this for testing changes
3162 + simplify _nc_freeall() using delscreen().
3165 + check error-return from _nc_set_tty_mode() in _nc_initscr() and
3166 reset_prog_mode() (report/patch by Philippe Blain).
3167 + regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52, to address
3168 problem with identifying C++ bool type.
3169 + correct/improve logic to produce an exit status for errors in tput,
3170 which did not exit with an error when told to put a string not in the
3171 current terminfo entry (report by David Gomez <david@pleyades.net>).
3172 + modify configure script AC_OUTPUT() call to work around defect in
3173 autoconf 2.52 which adds an ifdef'd include to the generated
3174 configure definitions.
3175 + remove fstat() check from scr_init(), which also fixes a missing
3176 include for <sys/stat.h> from 20020713 (reported by David Ellement,
3177 fix suggested by Philippe Blain).
3178 + update curs_scanw.3x manpage to note that XSI curses differs from
3179 SVr4 curses: return-values are incompatible.
3180 + correct several prototypes in manpages which used const
3181 inconsistently with the curses.h file, and removed spurious const's
3182 in a few places from curses.h, e.g., for wbkgd() (report by Glenn
3183 Maynard <glenn@zewt.org>).
3184 + change internal type used by tparm() to long, to work with LP64 model.
3185 + modify nc_alloc.h to allow building with g++, for testing.
3188 + add resize-handling to cardfile.c test program.
3189 + altered resizeterm() to avoid having it fail when a child window
3190 cannot be resized because it would be larger than its parent. (More
3191 work must be done on this, but it works well enough to integrate).
3192 + improve a limit-check in lib_refresh.c
3193 + remove check in lib_screen.c relating dumptime to file's modification
3194 times, since that would not necessarily work for remotely mounted
3196 + modify lrtest to simplify debugging changes to resizeterm, e.g.,
3197 t/T commands to enable/disable tracing.
3198 + updated status of multibyte support in TO-DO.
3199 + update contact info in source-files (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
3202 + add Caps.hpux11, as an example.
3203 + modify version_filter(), used to implement -R option for tic and
3204 infocmp, to use computed array offsets based on the Caps.* file which
3205 is actually configured, rather than constants which correspond to
3207 + reorganized lib_raw.c to avoid updating SP and cur_term state if the
3208 functions fail (reported by Philippe Blain).
3209 + add -Wundef to gcc warnings, adjust a few ifdef's to accommodate gcc.
3212 + correct parameters to setcchar() in ncurses.c (cf: 20020406).
3213 + set locale in most test programs (view.c and ncurses.c were the
3215 + add configure option --with-build-cppflags (report by Maksim A
3216 Nikulin <M.A.Nikulin@inp.nsk.su>).
3217 + correct a typo in wide-character logic for lib_bkgnd.c (Philippe
3219 + modify lib_wacs.c to not cancel the acsc, smacs, rmacs strings when
3220 in UTF-8 locale. Wide-character functions use Unicode values, while
3221 narrow-character functions use the terminfo data.
3222 + fix a couple of places in Ada95/samples which did not compile with
3224 + modify mkinstalldirs so the DOS-pathname case is locale-independent.
3225 + fix locale problem in MKlib_gen.sh by forcing related variables to
3226 POSIX (C), using same approach as autoconf (set variables only if
3227 they were set before). Update MKterminfo.sh and MKtermsort.sh to
3231 + add charset to generated html.
3232 + add mvterm entry, adapted from a FreeBSD bug-report by Daniel Rudy
3233 <dcrudy@pacbell.net> -TD
3234 + add rxvt-16color, ibm+16color entries -TD
3235 + modify check in --disable-overwrite option so that it is used by
3236 default unless the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr, in attempt to
3237 work around packagers, e.g., for Sun's freeware, who do not read the
3241 + modify wgetch() to allow returning ungetch'd KEY_RESIZE as a function
3242 key code in get_wch().
3243 + extended resize-handling in test/ncurses 'a' menu to the entire
3244 stack of windows created with 'w' commands.
3245 + improve $COLORFGBG feature by interpreting an out-of-range color
3246 value as an SGR 39 or 49, for foreground/background respectively.
3247 + correct a typo in configure --enable-colorfgbg option, and move it
3248 to the experimental section (cf: 20011208).
3251 + add logic to dump_entry.c to remove function-key definitions that do
3252 not fit into the 1023-byte limit for generated termcaps. This makes
3254 + more improvements to tic's warnings, including logic to ignore
3255 differences between delay values in sgr strings.
3256 + move definition of KEY_RESIZE into MKkeydefs.sh script, to
3257 accommodate Caps.osf1r5 which introduced a conflicting definition.
3260 + add simple resize-handling in test/ncurses.c 'a' menu.
3261 + fixes in keyname() and _tracechar() to handle negative values.
3262 + make tic's warnings about mismatches in sgr strings easier to follow.
3263 + correct tic checks for number of parameters in smgbp and smglp.
3264 + improve scoansi terminfo entry, and add scoansi-new entry -TD
3265 + add pcvt25-color terminfo entry -TD
3266 + add kf13-kf48 strings to cons25w terminfo entry (reported by Stephen
3267 Hurd <deuce@lordlegacy.org> in newsgroup lucky.freebsd.bugs) -TD
3268 + add entrypoint _nc_trace_ttymode(), use this to distinguish the
3269 Ottyb and Nttyb members of terminal (aka cur_term), for tracing.
3272 + correct and simplify logic for lib_pad.c change in 20020518 (reported
3276 + fix lib_pad.c for case of drawing a double-width character which
3277 falls off the left margin of the pad (patch by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij
3278 <lerdsuwa@users.sourceforge.net>)
3279 + modify configure script to work around broken gcc 3.1 "--version"
3280 option, which adds unnecessary trash to the requested information.
3281 + adjust ifdef's in case SIGWINCH is not defined, e.g., with DJGPP
3282 (reported by Ben Decker <deckerben@freenet.de>).
3285 + implement vid_puts(), vid_attr(), term_attrs() based on the narrow-
3286 character versions as well.
3287 + implement erasewchar(), killwchar() based on erasechar() and
3289 + modify erasechar() and killchar() to return ERR if the value was
3291 + correct a bug in wresize() in handling subwindows (based on patch by
3292 Roger Gammans <rgammans@computer-surgery.co.uk>, report by Scott Beck
3293 <scott@gossamer-threads.com>).
3294 + improve test/tclock.c by making the second-hand update more often
3295 if gettimeofday() is available.
3298 + workaround for Solaris sed with MKlib_gen.sh (reported by Andy
3299 Tsouladze <andyt@mypoints.com>).
3302 + correct return-value from getcchar(), making it consistent with
3304 + reorder loops that generate makefile rules for different models vs
3305 subsets so configure --with-termlib works again. This was broken by
3306 logic added to avoid duplicate rules in changes to accommodate cygwin
3307 dll's (reported by George.R.Goffe@seagate.com).
3308 + update config.guess, config.sub
3311 + modify ifdef's in write_entry.c to allow use of symbolic links on
3312 platforms with no hard links, e.g., BeOS.
3313 + modify a few includes to allow compile with BeOS, which has stdbool.h
3314 with a conflicting definition for 'bool' versus its OS.h definition.
3315 + amend MKlib_gen.sh to work with gawk, which defines 'func' as an
3316 alias for 'function'.
3319 + correct form of prototype for ripoffline().
3320 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to test that all functions marked as implemented
3324 + add manpages: curs_get_wstr.3x, curs_in_wchstr.3x
3325 + implement wgetn_wstr().
3326 + implement win_wchnstr().
3327 + remove redefinition of unget_wch() in lib_gen.c (reported by
3328 Jungshik Shin <jshin@jtan.com>).
3331 + modified several of the test programs to allow them to compile with
3332 vendor curses implementations, e.g., Solaris, AIX -TD
3335 + modified test/configure to allow configuring against ncursesw.
3336 + change WACS_xxx definition to use address, to work like Tru64 curses.
3339 + add 'e' and 'm' toggles to 'a', 'A' tests in ncurses.c to demonstrate
3340 effect of echo/noecho and meta modes.
3341 + add 'A' test to ncurses.c to demonstrate wget_wch() and related
3343 + add manpage: curs_get_wch.3x
3344 + implement unget_wch().
3345 + implement wget_wch().
3348 + regenerated html manpages.
3349 + add manpages: curs_in_wch.3x, curs_ins_wch.3x, curs_ins_wstr.3x
3350 + implement wins_wch().
3351 + implement win_wch().
3352 + implement wins_nwstr(), wins_wstr().
3355 + add manpages: curs_addwstr.3x, curs_winwstr.3x
3356 + implement winnwstr(), winwstr().
3359 + add manpages: curs_add_wchstr.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x
3360 + document wunctrl, key_name.
3361 + implement key_name().
3362 + remove const's in lib_box.c incorrectly leftover after splitting off
3364 + update llib-lncurses, llib-ncursesw, fix configure script related to
3368 + remove quotes on "SYNOPSIS" in man/curs_box_set.3x, which resulted
3369 in spurious symlinks on install.
3372 + implement whline_set(), wvline_set(), add manpage curs_border_set.
3373 + add subtest 'b' to 'F' and 'f' in ncurses.c to demonstrate use of
3374 box() and box_set() functions.
3375 + add subtest 'u' to 'F' in ncurses.c, to demonstrate use of addstr()
3376 given UTF-8 string equivalents of WACS_xxx symbols.
3377 + minor fixes to several manpages based on groff -ww output.
3378 + add descriptions of external variables of termcap interface to
3379 the manpage (report by Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au>).
3380 > patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
3381 + correct configure option --with-bool, which was executed as
3383 + add quotes for parameters of --with-bool and --with-ospeed configure
3385 > patch by Sven Verdoolaege (report by Gerhard Haering
3386 <haering_linux@gmx.de>):
3387 + correct typos in definitions of several wide-character macros:
3388 waddwstr, wgetbkgrnd, mvaddwstr, mvwadd_wchnstr, mvwadd_wchnstr,
3390 + pass $(CPPFLAGS) to MKlib_gen.sh, thereby fixing a missing definition
3391 of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, e.g., on Solaris
3394 + implement wide-acs characters for UTF-8 locales. When in UTF-8
3395 locale, ignore narrow version of acs. Add 'F' test to test/ncurses.c
3397 + correct prototype in keybound manpage (noted from a Debian mailing
3401 + add several cases to the wscanw() example in testcurs.c, showing the
3403 + implement a simple vsscanf() fallback function which uses the %n
3404 conversion to help parse the input data (prompted by discussion with
3405 Albert Chin-A-Young).
3406 + modify mk-1st.awk and test/Makefile.in to add $(LDFLAGS) when making
3407 shared libraries, and to use $(CFLAGS) when linking test programs
3408 (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
3409 + add a call to _nc_keypad() in keypad() to accommodate applications
3410 such as nvi, which use curses for output but not for input (fixes
