183 use of the windows console driver by checking if $TERM is set to
184 "#win32con" or an abbreviation of that.
185 + undo recent change to fallback definition of vsscanf() to build with
186 older Solaris compilers (cf: 20120728).
189 + add test-screens to test/ncurses to show 256-characters at a time,

260 + add ncurses_mingw.h to installed headers (prompted by patch by
262 + clarify return-codes from wgetch() in response to SIGWINCH (prompted
264 + modify resizeterm() to always push a KEY_RESIZE onto the fifo, even
265 if screensize is unchanged. Modify _nc_update_screensize() to push a
266 KEY_RESIZE if there was a SIGWINCH, even if it does not call
267 resizeterm(). These changes eliminate the case where a SIGWINCH is
268 received, but ERR returned from wgetch or wgetnstr because the screen
269 dimensions did not change (Novell #769788).
272 + add --enable-interop to sample package scripts (suggested by Juergen
274 + update CF_PATH_SYNTAX macro, from mawk changes.
275 + modify mk-0th.awk to allow for generating llib-ltic, etc., though

293 + fix some strict compiler warnings based on package scripts.
294 + further fixes for configure check for working poll (Debian #676461).
297 + fix an uninitialized variable in -c/-n logic for infocmp changes
299 + corrected fix for building c++ binding with clang 3.0 (report/patch
300 by Richard Yao, Gentoo #417613, cf: 20110409)
301 + correct configure check for working poll, fixing the case where stdin
302 is redirected, e.g., in rpm/dpkg builds (Debian #676461).
303 + add rpm- and dpkg-scripts, to test those build-environments.
304 The resulting packages are used only for testing.

328 freebsd-hackers mailing list).
331 + corrected 'op' for bterm (report by Samuel Thibault) -TD
332 + modify test/background.c to demonstrate a background character
333 holding a colored ACS_HLINE. The behavior differs from SVr4 due to
334 the thick- and double-line extension (cf: 20091003).
335 + modify handling of acs characters in PutAttrChar to avoid mapping an
336 unmapped character to a space with A_ALTCHARSET set.
337 + rewrite vt520 entry based on vt420 -TD
340 + remove p6 (bold) from opus3n1+ for consistency -TD

351 + make sgr for d470c, d470c-7b agree with other caps -TD
352 + remove redundant AC_DEFINE for NDEBUG versus Makefile definition.
353 + fix a back-link in _nc_delink_entry(), which is needed if ncurses is
354 configured with --enable-termcap and --disable-getcap.
357 + fix some inconsistencies between vt320/vt420, e.g., cnorm/civis -TD
358 + add eslok flag to dec+sl -TD
359 + dec+sl applies to vt320 and up -TD
360 + drop wsl width from xterm+sl -TD
361 + reuse xterm+sl in putty and nsca-m -TD
362 + add ansi+tabs to vt520 -TD
363 + add ansi+enq to vt220-vt520 -TD
364 + fix a compiler warning in example in ncurses-intro.doc (Paul Waring).

366 are interpreted as key definitions.
367 + modify tic's check of conflicting key definitions to include extended
368 capability strings in addition to the existing check on predefined
372 + improve cleanup of temporary files in tic using atexit().
373 + add msgr to vt420, similar DEC vtXXX entries -TD
374 + add several missing vt420 capabilities from vt220 -TD
375 + factor out ansi+pp from several entries -TD
376 + change xterm+sl and xterm+sl-twm to include only the status-line
377 capabilities and not "use=xterm", making them more generally useful
378 as building-blocks -TD
379 + add dec+sl building block, as example -TD
382 + add XT to some terminfo entries to improve usefulness for other
383 applications than screen, which would like to pretend that xterm's
384 title is a status-line. -TD
385 + change use-clauses in ansi-mtabs, hp2626, and hp2622 based on review
386 of ordering and overrides -TD
387 + add consistency check in tic for screen's "XT" capability.
388 + add section in terminfo.src summarizing the user-defined capabilities
389 used in that file -TD
392 + fix an inconsistency between tic/infocmp "-x" option; tic omits all
393 non-standard capabilities, while infocmp was ignoring only the user
394 definable capabilities.
395 + improve special case in tic parsing of description to allow it to be
396 followed by terminfo capabilities. Previously the description had to
397 be the last field on an input line to allow tic to distinguish
398 between termcap and terminfo format while still allowing commas to be
399 embedded in the description.
400 + correct variable name in gen_edit.sh which broke configurability of
401 the --with-xterm-kbs option.
402 + revert 2011-07-16 change to "linux" alias, return to "linux2.2" -TD
403 + further amend 20110910 change, providing for configure-script

405 default for that to "linux2.2" (Debian #665959).
408 + update Ada95/configure to use CF_DISABLE_ECHO (cf: 20120317).
409 + correct order of use-clauses in st-256color -TD
410 + modify configure script to look for gnatgcc if the Ada95 binding
411 is built, in preference to the default gcc/cc (suggested by
413 + modify configure script to ensure that the same -On option used for
414 the C compiler in CFLAGS is used for ADAFLAGS rather than simply
415 using "-O3" (suggested by Nicolas Boulenguez)
418 + amend an old fix so that next_char() exits properly for empty files,
419 e.g., from reading /dev/null (cf: 20080804).
420 + modify tic so that it can read from the standard input, or from
421 a character device. Because tic uses seek's, this requires writing
422 the data to a temporary file first (prompted by remark by Sven
423 Joachim) (cf: 20000923).
426 + correct a check made in lib_napms.c, so that terminfo applications
427 can again use napms() (cf: 20110604).
428 + add a note in tic.h regarding required casts for ABSENT_BOOLEAN
430 + correct scripting for --disable-echo option in test/configure.
431 + amend check for missing c++ compiler to work when no error is
432 reported, and no variables set (cf: 20021206).
433 + add/use configure macro CF_DISABLE_ECHO.
436 + fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits.
437 + use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303).
438 + improve a limit-check in infocmp.c (Werner Fink):
441 + minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation
442 regarding mapping of \0 to \200
443 + minor improvement to _nc_copy_termtype(), using memcpy to replace
445 + fix no-leaks checking in test/demo_termcap.c to account for multiple
446 calls to setupterm().
447 + modified the libgpm change to show previous load as a problem in the
449 > merge some patches from OpenSUSE rpm (Werner Fink):
450 + ncurses-5.7-printw.dif, fixes for varargs handling in lib_printw.c
451 + ncurses-5.7-gpm.dif, do not dlopen libgpm if already loaded by
453 + ncurses-5.6-fallback.dif, do not free arrays and strings from static
457 + fix breakage in tic/infocmp from 20120225 (report by Werner Fink).
460 + modify configure script to allow creating dll's for MinGW when
462 + add --enable-string-hacks option to control whether strlcat and
463 strlcpy may be used. The same issue applies to OpenBSD's warnings
464 about snprintf, noting that this function is weakly standardized.
465 + add configure checks for strlcat, strlcpy and snprintf, to help
466 reduce bogus warnings with OpenBSD builds.
467 + build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 to supply consistent intptr_t declaration
469 + update config.guess, config.sub
472 + correct CF_ETIP_DEFINES configure macro, making it exit properly on
473 the first success (patch by Pierre Labastie).
474 + improve configure macro CF_MKSTEMP by moving existence-check for
475 mkstemp out of the AC_TRY_RUN, to help with cross-compiles.
476 + improve configure macro CF_FUNC_POLL from luit changes to detect
477 broken implementations, e.g., with Mac OS X.
478 + add configure option --with-tparm-arg
479 + build-fix for MinGW cross-compiling, so that make_hash does not
480 depend on TTY definition (cf: 20111008).
483 + make sgr for xterm-pcolor agree with other caps -TD
484 + make sgr for att5425 agree with other caps -TD
485 + make sgr for att630 agree with other caps -TD
486 + make sgr for linux entries agree with other caps -TD

491 + make sgr for aaa-60-dec-rv, aaa+dec agree with other caps -TD
492 + make sgr for cygwin, cygwinDBG agree with other caps -TD
493 + add configure option --with-xterm-kbs to simplify configuration for
494 Linux versus most other systems.
497 + improved tic -D option, avoid making target directory and provide

508 + make sgr for aaa-unk, aaa-rv agree with other caps -TD
509 + make sgr for avt-ns agree with other caps -TD
510 + amend fix intended to separate fixups for acsc to allow "tic -cv" to
511 give verbose warnings (cf: 20110730).
512 + modify misc/gen-edit.sh to make the location of the tabset directory
513 consistent with misc/Makefile.in, i.e., using ${datadir}/tabset
514 (Debian #653435, patch by Sven Joachim).
517 + add --with-lib-prefix option to allow configuring for old/new flavors
519 + modify check for gnat version to allow for year, as used in FreeBSD
521 + modify check_existence() in db_iterator.c to simply check if the
522 path is a directory or file, according to the need. Checking for
523 directory size also gives no usable result with OS/2 (cf: 20120107).
524 + support OS/2 kLIBC (patch by KO Myung-Han).
527 + several improvements to test/movewindow.c (prompted by discussion on

547 a column showing which entries belong to a given database.
548 + add -s option to toe, to sort its output.
549 + modify progs/toe.c, simplifying use of db-iterator results to use
550 caching improvements from 20111001 and 20111126.
551 + correct generation of pc-files when ticlib or termlib options are

566 + fix build for the special case where term-driver, ticlib and termlib
567 are all enabled. The terminal driver depends on a few features in
568 the base ncurses library, so tic's dependencies include both ncurses
570 + fix build work for term-driver when --enable-wgetch-events option is
572 + use <stdint.h> types to fix some questionable casts to void*.
575 + modify configure script to check if thread library provides
576 pthread_mutexattr_settype(), e.g., not provided by Solaris 2.6
577 + modify configure script to suppress check to define _XOPEN_SOURCE
578 for IRIX64, since its header files have a conflict versus
580 + modify configure script to add ".pc" files for tic- and
581 tinfo-libraries, which were omitted in recent change (cf: 20111126).
582 + fix inconsistent checks on $PKG_CONFIG variable in configure script.
585 + modify configure-check for etip.h dependencies, supplying a temporary
586 copy of ncurses_dll.h since it is a generated file (prompted by
588 + modify CF_CPP_PARAM_INIT "main" function to work with current C++.
591 + correct database iterator's check for duplicate entries
593 + modify database iterator to ignore $TERMCAP when it is not an
595 + add -D option to tic, to show the database locations that it could
597 + improve description of database locations in tic manpage.
598 + modify the configure script to generate a list of the ".pc" files to
599 generate, rather than deriving the list from the libraries which have
600 been built (patch by Mike Frysinger).
601 + use AC_CHECK_TOOLS in preference to AC_PATH_PROGS when searching for
602 ncurses*-config, e.g., in Ada95/configure and test/configure (adapted
603 from patch by Mike Frysinger).
606 + remove obsolete/conflicting fallback definition for _POSIX_SOURCE
607 from curses.priv.h, fixing a regression with IRIX64 and Tru64
609 + modify _nc_tic_dir() to ensure that its return-value is nonnull,
610 i.e., the database iterator was not initialized. This case is needed
611 to when tic is translating to termcap, rather than loading the
612 database (cf: 20111001).
615 + add pccon entries for OpenBSD console (Alexei Malinin).
616 + build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 with gcc 4.2.1, setting _XOPEN_SOURCE to
617 600 to work around inconsistent ifdef'ing of wcstof between C and
619 + modify capconvert script to accept more than exact match on "xterm",
620 e.g., the "xterm-*" variants, to exclude from the conversion (patch
622 + add -lc_r as alternative for -lpthread, allows build of threaded code
623 in older FreeBSD machines.
624 + build-fix for MirBSD, which fails when either _XOPEN_SOURCE or
625 _POSIX_SOURCE are defined.
626 + fix a typo misc/Makefile.in, used in uninstalling pc-files.
629 + modify make_db_path() to allow creating "terminfo.db" in the same
630 directory as an existing "terminfo" directory. This fixes a case
631 where switching between hashed/filesystem databases would cause the
632 new hashed database to be installed in the next best location -
633 root's home directory.
634 + add variable cf_cv_prog_gnat_correct to those passed to
635 config.status, fixing a problem with Ada95 builds (cf: 20111022).
636 + change feature test from _XPG5 to _XOPEN_SOURCE in two places, to
637 accommodate broken implementations for _XPG6.
638 + eliminate usage of NULL symbol from etip.h, to reduce header
640 + add configure check to decide when to add _XOPEN_SOURCE define to
641 compiler options, i.e., for Solaris 10 and later (cf: 20100403).
642 This is a workaround for gcc 4.6, which fails to build the c++
643 binding if that symbol is defined by the application, due to
644 incorrectly combining the corresponding feature test macros
645 (report by Peter Kruse).
648 + correct logic for discarding mouse events, retaining the partial
649 events used to build up click, double-click, etc, until needed
651 + fix configure script to avoid creating unused Ada95 makefile when
653 + cleanup width-related gcc 3.4.3 warnings for 64-bit platform, for the
654 internal functions of libncurses. The external interface of courses
655 uses bool, which still produces these warnings.
658 + improve description of --disable-tic-depends option to make it
659 clear that it may be useful whether or not the --with-termlib
660 option is also given (report by Sven Joachim).
661 + amend termcap equivalent for set_pglen_inch to use the X/Open
662 "YI" rather than the obsolete Solaris 2.5 "sL" (cf: 990109).
663 + improve manpage for tgetent differences from termcap library.
666 + moved static data from db_iterator.c to lib_data.c
667 + modify db_iterator.c for memory-leak checking, fix one leak.
668 + modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to use Requires.private for the parts
669 of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the
670 other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728).
673 + modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force
674 source-output. That allows the same flag to control the parser for
675 input and output of termcap source.
676 + modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line,
677 making it consistent with ncurses' parser.
678 + restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap
679 text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924).
680 + modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the
681 conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is
682 normally following in the source file. Also improved the warning
683 message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem.
684 + improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list.
687 + add a missing "else" in changes to _nc_read_tic_entry().
690 + modify _nc_read_tic_entry() so that hashed-database is checked before
692 + updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
693 + modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
694 TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
695 to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick
697 + build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (cf: 20110917).
700 + fix compiler warning for clang 2.9
701 + improve merging of mouse events (integrated patch by Damien
703 + correct mask-check used in lib_mouse for wheel mouse buttons 4/5
704 (patch by Damien Guibouret).
707 + modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with
708 the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0"
710 + revert a change to getmouse() which had the undesirable side-effect
711 of suppressing button-release events (report by Damien Guibouret,
713 + add xterm+kbs fragment from xterm #272 -TD
714 + add configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir to provide control over
715 the actual directory into which pc-files are installed, do not use
716 the pkg-config environment variables (discussion with Frederic L W
718 + add link to mailing-list archive in announce.html.in, as done in
719 FAQ (prompted by question by Andrius Bentkus).
720 + improve manpage install by adjusting the "#include" examples to
721 show the ncurses-subdirectory used when --disable-overwrite option
723 + install an alias for "curses" to the ncurses manpage, tied to the
724 --with-curses-h configure option (suggested by Reuben Thomas).
727 + propagate error-returns from wresize, i.e., the internal
728 increase_size and decrease_size functions through resize_term (report
729 by Tim van der Molen, cf: 20020713).
730 + fix typo in tset manpage (patch by Sven Joachim).
733 + add a check to ensure that termcap files which might have "^?" do
734 not use the terminfo interpretation as "\177".
735 + minor cleanup of X-terminal emulator section of terminfo.src -TD
736 + add terminator entry -TD
737 + add simpleterm entry -TD
738 + improve wattr_get macros by ensuring that if the window pointer is
739 null, then the attribute and color values returned will be zero
743 + add substitution for $RPATH_LIST to misc/ncurses-config.in
744 + improve performance of tic with hashed-database by caching the
745 database connection, using atexit() to cleanup.
746 + modify treatment of 2-character aliases at the beginning of termcap
747 entries so they are not counted in use-resolution, since these are
748 guaranteed to be unique. Also ignore these aliases when reporting
749 the primary name of the entry (cf: 20040501)
750 + double-check gn (generic) flag in terminal descriptions to
751 accommodate old/buggy termcap databases which misused that feature.
752 + minor fixes to _nc_tgetent(), ensure buffer is initialized even on
756 + improve rpath fix from 20110730 by ensuring that the new $RPATH_LIST
757 variable is defined in the makefiles which use it.
758 + build-fix for DragonFlyBSD's pkgsrc in test/configure script.
759 + build-fixes for NetBSD 5.1 with termcap support enabled.
760 + corrected k9 in dg460-ansi, add other features based on manuals -TD
761 + improve trimming of whitespace at the end of terminfo/termcap output
763 + when writing termcap source, ensure that colons in the description
764 field are translated to a non-delimiter, i.e., "=".
765 + add "-0" option to tic/infocmp, to make the termcap/terminfo source
767 + add a null-pointer check when handling the $CC variable.
770 + modify configure script and makefiles in c++ and progs to allow the
771 directory used for rpath option to be overridden, e.g., to work
772 around updates to the variables used by tic during an install.
773 + add -K option to tic/infocmp, to provide stricter BSD-compatibility
775 + add _nc_strict_bsd variable in tic library which controls the
776 "strict" BSD termcap compatibility from 20110723, plus these
778 + allow escapes such as "\8" and "\9" when reading termcap
779 + disallow "\a", "\e", "\l", "\s" and "\:" escapes when reading
780 termcap files, passing through "a", "e", etc.
781 + expand "\:" as "\072" on output.
782 + modify _nc_get_token() to reset the token's string value in case
783 there is a string-typed token lacking the "=" marker.
784 + fix a few memory leaks in _nc_tgetent.
785 + fix a few places where reading from a termcap file could refer to
787 + add an overflow check when converting terminfo/termcap numeric
788 values, since terminfo stores those in a short, and they must be
790 + correct internal variables used for translating to termcap "%>"
791 feature, and translating from termcap %B to terminfo, needed by
792 tctest (cf: 19991211).

796 a termcap file to be handled via TERMINFO_DIRS.
797 + modify _nc_infotocap() to include non-mandatory padding when
798 translating to termcap.
799 + modify _nc_read_termcap_entry(), passing a flag in the case where
800 getcap is used, to reduce interactive warning messages.
803 + add a check in start_color() to limit color-pairs to 256 when
804 extended colors are not supported (patch by David Benjamin).

808 + use bold rather than reverse for smso in sun-color terminfo entry
810 + improve generation of termcap using tic/infocmp -C option, e.g.,
811 to correspond with 4.2BSD (prompted by discussion with Yuri Pankov
812 regarding Schilling's test program):
813 + translate %02 and %03 to %2 and %3 respectively.
814 + suppress string capabilities which use %s, not supported by tgoto
815 + use \040 rather than \s
816 + expand null characters as \200 rather than \0
817 + modify configure script to support shared libraries for DragonFlyBSD.

893 help work around weak-symbol issues.
896 + update discussion of MKfallback.sh script in INSTALL; normally the
897 script is used automatically via the configured makefiles. However
898 there are still occasions when it might be used directly by packagers

906 (report by Joachim Schmitz).
909 + modify rules in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to ensure that the PIC option
910 is not used when building a static library (report by Nicolas
912 + Ada95 build-fix for big-endian architectures such as sparc. This

951 needed for rpm script.
952 + add "--with-shared" option to Ada95/configure script, to allow

954 options if building a shared library with gnat.
957 > portability fixes for Ada95 binding:
958 + add configure check to ensure that SIGINT works with gnat. This is

1685 + use PATH_SEPARATOR symbol when substituting into run_tic.sh, to
1686 help with builds on non-Unix platforms such as OS/2 EMX.
1687 + modify scripting for misc/run_tic.sh to test configure script's
1688 $cross_compiling variable directly rather than comparing host/build

1822 digits, after the final '.').
1823 + improve use of -no-undefined option for libtool by setting an
1824 intermediate variable LT_UNDEF in the configure script, and then

1826 + fix an missing use of NCURSES_PUBLIC_VAR() in tinfo/MKcodes.awk
1827 from 2009031 changes.

1850 Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing
1852 + suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on
1853 Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static libc, and
1854 does not switch back to dynamic mode before finishing the libraries
1855 (reports by Joel Bertrand, Alan Pae).
1856 + minor fixes to Intel compiler warning checks in configure script.
1857 + modify _nc_leaks_tinfo() so leak-checking in test/railroad.c works.
1858 + modify set_curterm() to make broken-linker configuration work with

1892 gen-pkgconfig.in files (Debian #512161).
1895 + add -shared option to MK_SHARED_LIB when -Bsharable is used, for
1896 *BSD's, without which "main" might be one of the shared library's
1897 dependencies (report/analysis by Ken Dickey).
1898 + modify waddch_literal(), updating line-pointer after a multicolumn
1899 character is found to not fit on the current row, and wrapping is
1900 done. Since the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped
1901 multicolumn character was written to the beginning of the current row
1902 (cf: 20041023, reported by "Nick" regarding problem with ncmpc
1903 http://musicpd.org/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1930).

1915 + remove undeveloped feature in ncurses-config.in for setting
1917 + recent change to ncurses-config.in did not take into account the
1918 --disable-overwrite option, which sets $includedir to the

1920 (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
1923 + modify gen-pkgconfig.in to eliminate a dependency on rpath when
1924 deciding whether to add $LIBS to --libs output; that should be shown
1925 for the ncurses and tinfo libraries without taking rpath into
1927 + fix an overlooked change from $AR_OPTS to $ARFLAGS in mk-1st.awk,
1928 used in static libraries (report by Marty Jack).
1931 + add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
1932 CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris (report by Dagobert Michelsen).
1933 + add configure --with-pkg-config and --enable-pc-files options, along
1934 with misc/gen-pkgconfig.in which can be used to generate ".pc" files
1935 for pkg-config (request by Jan Engelhardt).

1941 + update config.guess, config.sub from
1942 http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
1945 + modify mk-1st.awk to work with extra categories for tinfo library.

1951 --disable-ext-funcs is used.
1952 + add test/clip_printw.c to illustrate how to use printw without
1954 + modify ncurses 'F' test to demo wborder_set() with colored lines.
1955 + modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder() with colored lines.
1958 + add check for failure to open hashed-database needed for db4.6

1961 the auxiliary rules install.man and uninstall.man
1962 + add case for FreeMINT to configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE (patch from
1964 + fixes from NetBSD port at
1965 http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/patches
1966 patch-ac (build-fix for DragonFly)
1967 patch-ae (use INSTALL_SCRIPT for installing misc/ncurses*-config).
1968 + improve configure script macros CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_LIBRARY_PATH
1969 by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS values to the

1978 set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran).
1979 + add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather
1980 than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that
1981 ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue
1982 was xterm's alternate screen feature).
1983 + add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a
1984 zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717,
1985 adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault).
1988 + improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control
1989 character is found. The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to
1990 obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not
1991 passing color or video attributes.
1992 + improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl() more consistently to
1993 display meta-characters.
1994 + turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h
1995 + add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD

2041 + add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined capabilities,
2045 + regenerated html documentation.

2049 + document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
2050 + fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
2051 + add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
2052 tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
2053 20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
2056 + some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
2057 works for C/C++ parts).
2058 + improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
2059 AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
2062 + fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
2063 strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
2064 + fix build for --disable-sigwinch
2065 + add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
2066 GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
2067 + disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
2068 "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
2069 that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
2070 + reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
2072 + fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib

2202 + change CC_SHARED_OPTS from -KPIC to -xcode=pic32 for Solaris.
2203 + add "-shared" option to MK_SHARED_LIB for gcc on Solaris (report
2207 + finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the
2208 window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr(). That
2209 allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with
2210 some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a
2211 window which is being used in a wgetch().
2212 + simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
2215 + modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
2216 parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
2218 + factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
2219 + add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a
2220 particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
2221 + add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a
2222 particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
2223 + add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate
2224 its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN.
2225 + add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in
2226 preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer.
2229 + modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
2230 screen which must be updated.
2231 + wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and
2232 always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm().
2233 + restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch
2237 + modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and
2238 --enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from
2240 + corrected manpage description of setcchar() (discussion with
2241 Emanuele Giaquinta).
2242 + fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line
2243 (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
2246 + modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix
2247 overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD
2248 + modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the
2250 + simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and
2254 + continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate
2255 multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens.
2256 + fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran).
2259 + add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD
2260 + modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from
2261 being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings.
2262 + improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout.
2265 + change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm.
2266 + add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their
2268 + add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN
2270 + finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.
2273 + begin table in curs_thread.3x manpage describing the scope of data
2274 used by each function (or symbol) for threading analysis.
2275 + add null-pointer checks to setsyx() and getsyx() (prompted by
2276 discussion by Martin v. Lowis and Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on
2277 python-dev2 mailing list).
2280 + add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen().
2281 + move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which
2282 are not associated with a particular screen.
2283 + change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than
2284 stdscr to the callback function.
2285 + force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this,
2286 e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc
2287 (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
2288 + override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on
2289 platforms such as AIX where libtool may use a different suffix for
2290 the object files than ".o" (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
2291 + add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX
2295 + fill in extended-color pair two more places in wbkgrndset() and
2296 waddch_nosync() (prompted by Sedeno's patch).
2297 + fill in extended-color pair in _nc_build_wch() to make colors work
2298 for wide-characters using extended-colors (patch by Alejandro R
2300 + add x/X toggles to ncurses.c C color test to test/demo
2301 wide-characters with extended-colors.
2302 + add a/A toggles to ncurses.c c/C color tests.
2303 + modify test/ditto.c to use use_screen().
2304 + finish modifying test/rain.c to demonstrate threads.
2307 + start modifying test/rain.c for threading demo.
2308 + modify test/ncurses.c to make 'f' test accept the f/F/b/F/</> toggles
2309 that the 'F' accepts.
2310 + modify test/worm.c to show trail in reverse-video when other threads
2311 are working concurrently.
2312 + fix a deadlock from improper nesting of mutexes for windowlist and
2316 + fixes from 20080223 resolved issue with mutexes; change to use
2317 recursive mutexes to fix memory leak in delwin() as called from
2318 _nc_free_and_exit().
2321 + fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex
2322 lock/unlock when termlib was built separately.
2325 + avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often
2326 is implemented to suspend the entire process.
2329 + update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for
2330 comparisons. This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open curses
2331 that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping. None of the Unix-branded
2332 implementations do this, as noted in manpage (cf: 20040228).
2335 + modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same
2336 for both narrow/wide models. It had been set only for wide model,
2337 but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model.
2338 + improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by
2339 using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append
2340 further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A
2342 + modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint().
2343 If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
2347 + improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE
2348 handling). Now it hangs in napms(), no matter whether nanosleep()
2349 or poll() or select() are used on Linux.
2352 + fixes to build with --disable-ext-funcs
2353 + add manpage for use_window and use_screen.
2354 + add set_tabsize() and set_escdelay() functions.
2357 + remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c
2358 + remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's
2359 adjust_window() which caused occasional misadjustment of stdscr when
2363 + several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD
2364 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the
2365 "link_test" builds properly.
2366 + fix for toe command-line options -u/-U to ensure filename is given.
2367 + fix allocation-size for command-line parsing in infocmp from 20070728
2368 (report by Miroslav Lichvar)
2369 + improve resizeterm() by moving ripped-off lines, and repainting the
2370 soft-keys (report by Katarina Machalkova)
2371 + add clarification in wclear's manpage noting that the screen will be
2372 cleared even if a subwindow is cleared (prompted by Christer Enfors
2374 + change test/ncurses.c soft-key tests to work with KEY_RESIZE.
2377 + continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
2381 + add several functions to C++ binding which wrap C functions that
2382 pass a WINDOW* parameter (request by Chris Lee).
2385 + add note about configure options needed for Berkeley database to the
2387 + improve checks for version of Berkeley database libraries.
2388 + amend fix for rpath to not modify LDFLAGS if the platform has no
2389 applicable transformation (report by Christian Ebert, cf: 20071124).
2392 + modify configure option --with-hashed-db to accept a parameter which
2393 is the install-prefix of a given Berkeley Database (prompted by
2394 pierre4d2 comments).
2395 + rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb(), making it work on Solaris. This is
2396 used in the form library to determine the length of the buffer needed
2397 by field_buffer (report by Alfred Fung).
2398 + remove unneeded window-parameter from C++ binding for wresize (report
2402 + modify the support for filesystems which do not support mixed-case to
2403 generate 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the lower-level of the
2404 filesystem terminfo database (request by Michail Vidiassov).
2405 + add configure option --enable-mixed-case, to allow overriding the
2406 configure script's check if the filesystem supports mixed-case
2408 + add wresize() to C++ binding (request by Chris Lee).
2409 + define NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS and NCURSES_EXT_COLORS in curses.h to make
2410 it simpler to tell if the extended functions and/or colors are
2414 + update memory-leak checks for changes to names.c and codes.c
2415 + correct acsc strings in h19, z100 (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler).
2418 + continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
2420 + add mrxvt terminfo entry, add/fix xterm building blocks for modified
2422 + compile with FreeBSD "contemporary" TTY interface (patch by
2426 + modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built
2427 without libtic. The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
2429 + add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
2430 the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).
2431 + fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat #310071,
2432 patches by Miroslav Lichvar).
2433 + improve performance of NCURSES_CHAR_EQ code (patch by Miroslav
2435 + update/improve mlterm and rxvt terminfo entries, e.g., for
2436 the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
2439 + add code to curses.priv.h ifdef'd with NCURSES_CHAR_EQ, which
2440 changes the CharEq() macro to an inline function to allow comparing
2441 cchar_t struct's without comparing gaps in a possibly unpacked
2442 memory layout (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
2445 + add new functions to lib_trace.c to setup mutex's for the _tracef()
2446 calls within the ncurses library.
2447 + for the reentrant model, move _nc_tputs_trace and _nc_outchars into

2454 shared-library configuration on platforms lacking rpath support.
2455 + build-fix for Ada95/src/Makefile to reflect changed dependency for
2456 the terminal-interface-curses-aux.adb file which is now generated.
2457 + restructuring test/worm.c, for use_window() example.
2460 + add use_window() and use_screen() functions, to develop into support
2461 for threaded library (incomplete).
2462 + fix typos in man/curs_opaque.3x which kept the install script from
2463 creating symbolic links to two aliases created in 20070818 (report by
2467 + remove a spurious newline from output of html.m4, which caused links
2468 for Ada95 html to be incorrect for the files generated using m4.
2469 + start investigating mutex's for SCREEN manipulation (incomplete).
2470 + minor cleanup of codes.c/names.c for --enable-const
2471 + expand/revise "Routine and Argument Names" section of ncurses manpage
2472 to address report by David Givens in newsgroup discussion.
2473 + fix interaction between --without-progs/--with-termcap configure
2474 options (report by Michail Vidiassov).

2481 option from working (patch by Mike Frysinger).
2484 + add 9term terminal description (request by Juhapekka Tolvanen) -TD
2485 + modify comp_hash.c's string output to avoid misinterpreting a null
2486 "\0" followed by a digit.
2487 + modify MKnames.awk and MKcodes.awk to support big-strings.
2488 This only applies to the cases (broken linker, reentrant) where
2489 the corresponding arrays are accessed via wrapper functions.
2490 + split MKnames.awk into two scripts, eliminating the shell redirection
2491 which complicated the make process and also the bogus timestamp file
2492 which was introduced to fix "make -j".
2493 + add test/test_opaque.c, test/test_arrays.c
2494 + add wgetscrreg() and wgetparent() for applications that may need it
2495 when NCURSES_OPAQUE is defined (prompted by Bryan Christ).
2498 + amend treatment of infocmp "-r" option to retain the 1023-byte limit
2499 unless "-T" is given (cf: 981017).
2500 + modify comp_captab.c generation to use big-strings.
2501 + make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private accessed via
2502 _nc_get_alias_table() since the tables are used only within the tic

2505 + make _nc_info_hash_table and _nc_cap_hash_table private accessed via
2506 _nc_get_hash_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
2510 + make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private, accessed via
2511 _nc_get_alias_table() since they are used only by parse_entry.c
2512 + make _nc_key_names private since it is used only by lib_keyname.c
2513 + add --disable-big-strings configure option to control whether
2514 unctrl.c is generated using the big-string optimization - which may
2515 use strings longer than supported by a given compiler.
2516 + reduce relocation tables for tic, infocmp by changing type of
2517 internal hash tables to short, and make those private symbols.
2518 + eliminate large fixed arrays from progs/infocmp.c
2521 + change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line (cf: 970315).
2522 + add test/test_get_wstr.c
2523 + add test/test_getstr.c
2524 + add test/test_inwstr.c
2525 + add test/test_instr.c

2614 movement of files, fix a few incorrect manpage references in the
2616 + add Ada95 binding to _nc_freeall() as Curses_Free_All to help with
2618 + correct some functions in Ada95 binding which were using return value
2619 from C where none was returned: idcok(), immedok() and wtimeout().
2620 + amend recent changes for Ada95 binding to make it build with
2621 Cygwin's linker, e.g., with configure options
2622 --enable-broken-linker --with-ticlib
2625 + add a configure check for gcc's options for inlining, use that to
2626 quiet a warning message where gcc's default behavior changed from
2628 + improve warning message when checking if GPM is linked to curses
2629 library by not warning if its use of "wgetch" is via a weak symbol.
2630 + add loader options when building with static libraries to ensure that
2631 an installed shared library for ncurses does not conflict. This is
2632 reported as problem with Tru64, but could affect other platforms
2633 (report Martin Mokrejs, analysis by Tim Mooney).

2732 properly in its similar_sgr() function (report/analysis by Peter
2734 + add --enable-reentrant configure option for ongoing changes to
2735 implement a reentrant version of ncurses:
2736 + libraries are suffixed with "t"
2737 + wrap several global variables (curscr, newscr, stdscr, ttytype,
2738 COLORS, COLOR_PAIRS, COLS, ESCDELAY, LINES and TABSIZE) as
2739 functions returning values stored in SCREEN or cur_term.
2740 + move some initialization (LINES, COLS) from lib_setup.c,
2741 i.e., setupterm() to _nc_setupscreen(), i.e., newterm().
2744 + regenerated html documentation.
2745 + add NCURSES_OPAQUE symbol to curses.h, will use to make structs
2746 opaque in selected configurations.
2747 + move the chunk in lib_acs.c which resets acs capabilities when
2748 running on a terminal whose locale interferes with those into
2749 _nc_setupscreen(), so the libtinfo/libtinfow files can be made
2750 identical (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
2751 + do not use configure variable SHLIB_LIBS for building libraries
2752 outside the ncurses directory, since that symbol is customized
2753 only for that directory, and using it introduces an unneeded
2754 dependency on libdl (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
2755 + modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or
2756 installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in
2757 case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh (report by Jeff
2759 + revised section "Using NCURSES under XTERM" in ncurses-intro.html
2760 (prompted by newsgroup comment by Nick Guenther).
2763 + change internal return codes of _nc_wgetch() to check for cases
2764 where KEY_CODE_YES should be returned, e.g., if a KEY_RESIZE was
2765 ungetch'd, and read by wget_wch().
2766 + fix static-library build broken in 20070217 changes to remove "-ldl"
2767 (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
2768 + change makefile/scripts for cygwin to allow building termlib.
2769 + use Form_Hook in manpages to match form.h
2770 + use Menu_Hook in manpages, as well as a few places in menu.h
2771 + correct form- and menu-manpages to use specific Field_Options,
2772 Menu_Options and Item_Options types.
2773 + correct prototype for _tracechar() in manpage (cf: 20011229).
2774 + correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
2777 + fixes for $(TICS_LIST) in ncurses/Makefile (report by Miroslav
2779 + modify relinking of shared libraries to apply only when rpath is
2780 enabled, and add --disable-relink option which can be used to
2781 disable the feature altogether (reports by Michail Vidiassov,
2783 + fix --with-termlib option for wide-character configuration, stripping
2784 the "w" suffix in one place (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
2785 + remove "-ldl" from some library lists to reduce dependencies in
2786 programs (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
2787 + correct description of --enable-signed-char in configure --help
2788 (report by Michail Vidiassov).
2789 + add pattern for GNU/kFreeBSD configuration to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE,
2790 which matches an earlier change to CF_SHARED_OPTS, from xterm #224
2792 + remove "${DESTDIR}" from -install_name option used for linking
2793 shared libraries on Darwin (report by Michail Vidiassov).
2796 + add test/inchs.c, test/inch_wide.c, to test win_wchnstr().
2797 + remove libdl from library list for termlib (report by Miroslav
2799 + fix configure.in to allow --without-progs --with-termlib (patch by
2801 + modify win_wchnstr() to ensure that only a base cell is returned
2802 for each multi-column character (prompted by report by Wei Kong
2803 regarding change in mvwin_wch() cf: 20041023).
2806 + modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
2807 from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
2808 Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
2809 associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
2811 + improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
2812 + ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
2813 + add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
2814 to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
2815 + drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
2816 no longer relies on it.
2817 + disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
2818 --enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
2819 + remove tack from ncurses tree.
2822 + fix typo in configure script that broke --with-termlib option
2823 (report by Rong-En Fan).
2826 + improve fix for FreeBSD gnu/98975, to allow for null pointer passed
2827 to tgetent() (report by Rong-en Fan).
2828 + update tack/HISTORY and tack/README to tell how to build it after
2829 it is removed from the ncurses tree.
2830 + fix configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
2831 (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
2832 + review/eliminate other original-file artifacts in cursesw.cc, making
2833 its license consistent with ncurses.
2834 + use ncurses vw_scanw() rather than reading into a fixed buffer in
2835 the c++ binding for scanw() methods (prompted by report by Nuno Dias).
2836 + eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding.
2839 + add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from
2840 term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency.
2841 + fix test/mk-test.awk to ignore blank lines.
2842 + correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav
2846 + add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the
2847 _first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak).
2848 + add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the
2850 + add --with-ticlib option, to build/install the tic-support functions
2851 in a separate library (suggested by Miroslav Lichvar).
2854 + change MKunctrl.awk to reduce relocation table for unctrl.o
2855 + change MKkeyname.awk to reduce relocation table for keyname.o
2856 (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
2859 + modify configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
2860 (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
2861 + modify some modules to allow them to be reentrant if _REENTRANT is
2862 defined: lib_baudrate.c, resizeterm.c (local data only)
2863 + eliminate static data from some modules: add_tries.c, hardscroll.c,
2864 lib_ttyflags.c, lib_twait.c
2865 + improve manpage install to add aliases for the transformed program
2866 names, e.g., from --program-prefix.
2867 + used linklint to verify links in the HTML documentation, made fixes
2868 to manpages as needed.
2869 + fix a typo in curs_mouse.3x (report by William McBrine).
2870 + fix install-rule for ncurses5-config to make the bin-directory.
2873 + modify configure script to omit the tic (terminfo compiler) support
2874 from ncurses library if --without-progs option is given.
2875 + modify install rule for ncurses5-config to do this via "install.libs"
2876 + modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath.
2877 + update config.guess, config.sub
2879 20061217 5.6 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
2882 + add ifdef's for <wctype.h> for HPUX, which has the corresponding
2883 definitions in <wchar.h>.
2884 + revert the va_copy() change from 20061202, since it was neither
2885 correct nor portable.
2886 + add $(LOCAL_LIBS) definition to progs/Makefile.in, needed for
2888 + ignore wide-acs line-drawing characters that wcwidth() claims are
2889 not one-column. This is a workaround for Solaris' broken locale
2893 + modify configure --with-gpm option to allow it to accept a parameter,
2894 i.e., the name of the dynamic GPM library to load via dlopen()
2895 (requested by Bryan Henderson).
2896 + add configure option --with-valgrind, changes from vile.
2897 + modify configure script AC_TRY_RUN and AC_TRY_LINK checks to use
2898 'return' in preference to 'exit()'.
2901 + change default for --with-develop back to "no".
2902 + add XTABS to tracing of TTY bits.
2903 + updated autoconf patch to ifdef-out the misfeature which declares
2904 exit() for configure tests. This fixes a redefinition warning on
2906 + use ${CC} rather than ${LD} in shared library rules for IRIX64,
2907 Solaris to help ensure that initialization sections are provided for
2908 extra linkage requirements, e.g., of C++ applications (prompted by
2909 comment by Casper Dik in newsgroup).
2910 + rename "$target" in CF_MAN_PAGES to make it easier to distinguish
2911 from the autoconf predefined symbol. There was no conflict,
2912 since "$target" was used only in the generated edit_man.sh file,
2913 but SuSE's rpm package contains a patch.
2916 + update man/term.5 to reflect extended terminfo support and hashed
2917 database configuration.
2918 + updates for test/configure script.
2919 + adapted from SuSE rpm package:
2920 + remove long-obsolete workaround for broken-linker which declared
2922 + improve error recovery in PUTC() macro when wcrtomb() does not
2923 return usable results for an 8-bit character.
2924 + patches from rpm package (SuSE):
2925 + use va_copy() in extra varargs manipulation for tracing version
2927 + use a va_list rather than a null in _nc_freeall()'s call to
2928 _nc_printf_string().
2929 + add some see-also references in manpages to show related
2930 wide-character functions (suggested by Claus Fischer).
2933 + add a check in lib_color.c to ensure caller does not increase COLORS
2934 above max_colors, which is used as an array index (discussion with
2936 + add ifdef's allowing ncurses to be built with tparm() using either
2937 varargs (the existing status), or using a fixed-parameter list (to
2941 + fix redrawing of windows other than stdscr using wredrawln() by
2942 touching the corresponding rows in curscr (discussion with Dan
2945 + add test/echochar.c
2946 + review/cleanup manpage descriptions of error-returns for form- and
2947 menu-libraries (prompted by FreeBSD docs/46196).
2950 + add AUTHORS file -TD
2951 + omit the -D options from output of the new config script --cflags
2952 option (suggested by Ralf S Engelschall).
2953 + make NCURSES_INLINE unconditionally defined in curses.h
2956 + revert change to accommodate bash 3.2, since that breaks other
2957 platforms, e.g., Solaris.
2958 + minor fixes to NEWS file to simplify scripting to obtain list of
2960 + improve some shared-library configure scripting for Linux, FreeBSD
2961 and NetBSD to make "--with-shlib-version" work.
2962 + change configure-script rules for FreeBSD shared libraries to allow
2963 for rpath support in versions past 3.
2964 + use $(DESTDIR) in makefile rules for installing/uninstalling the
2965 package config script (reports/patches by Christian Wiese,
2966 Ralf S Engelschall).
2967 + fix a warning in the configure script for NetBSD 2.0, working around
2968 spurious blanks embedded in its ${MAKEFLAGS} symbol.
2969 + change test/Makefile to simplify installing test programs in a
2970 different directory when --enable-rpath is used.
2973 + work around bug in bash 3.2 by adding extra quotes (Jim Gifford).
2974 + add/install a package config script, e.g., "ncurses5-config" or
2975 "ncursesw5-config", according to configuration options.
2978 + add several GNU Screen terminfo variations with 16- and 256-colors,
2979 and status line (Alain Bench).
2980 + change the way shared libraries (other than libtool) are installed.
2981 Rather than copying the build-tree's libraries, link the shared
2982 objects into the install directory. This makes the --with-rpath
2983 option work except with $(DESTDIR) (cf: 20000930).
2986 + fix ifdef in c++/internal.h for QNX 6.1
2987 + test-compiled with (old) egcs-1.1.2, modified configure script to
2988 not unset the $CXX and related variables which would prevent this.
2989 + fix a few terminfo.src typos exposed by improvments to "-f" option.
2990 + improve infocmp/tic "-f" option formatting.
2993 + make --disable-largefile option work (report by Thomas M Ott).
2994 + updated html documentation.
2995 + add ka2, kb1, kb3, kc2 to vt220-keypad as an extension -TD
2996 + minor improvements to rxvt+pcfkeys -TD
2999 + move static data from lib_mouse.c into SCREEN struct.
3000 + improve ifdef's for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset to work with Mac OS X
3001 (report by Michail Vidiassov).
3002 + modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX to ensure it uses the result from --prefix
3003 option (from lynx changes) -TD
3004 + adapt AC_PROG_EGREP check, noting that this is likely to be another
3005 place aggravated by POSIXLY_CORRECT.
3006 + modify configure check for awk to ensure that it is found (prompted
3007 by report by Christopher Parker).
3011 + add kon, kon2 and jfbterm terminfo entry (request by Till Maas) -TD
3012 + remove invis capability from klone+sgr, mainly used by linux entry,
3013 since it does not really do this -TD
3016 + correct logic in wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not guard
3017 against passing the multi-column attribute into a call on waddch(),
3018 e.g., using data returned by win_wch() (cf: 20041023)
3019 (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
3022 + fix kterm's acsc string -TD
3023 + fix for change to tic/infocmp in 20060819 to ensure no blank is
3024 embedded into a termcap description.
3025 + workaround for 20050806 ifdef's change to allow visbuf.c to compile
3026 when using --with-termlib --with-trace options.
3027 + improve tgetstr() by making the return value point into the user's
3028 buffer, if provided (patch by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat #202480)).
3029 + correct libraries needed for foldkeys (report by Stanislav Ievlev)
3032 + add terminfo entries for xfce terminal (xfce) and multi gnome
3034 + add test/foldkeys.c
3037 + modify tic and infocmp to avoid writing trailing blanks on terminfo
3038 source output (Debian #378783).
3039 + modify configure script to ensure that if the C compiler is used
3040 rather than the loader in making shared libraries, the $(CFLAGS)
3041 variable is also used (Redhat #199369).
3042 + port hashed-db code to db2 and db3.
3043 + fix a bug in tgetent() from 20060625 and 20060715 changes
3044 (patch/analysis by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat #202480)).
3047 + updated xterm function-keys terminfo to match xterm #216 -TD
3048 + add configure --with-hashed-db option (tested only with FreeBSD 6.0,
3049 e.g., the db 1.8.5 interface).
3052 + modify toe to access termcap data, e.g., via cgetent() functions,
3053 or as a text file if those are not available.
3054 + use _nc_basename() in tset to improve $SHELL check for csh/sh.
3055 + modify _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_termcap_entry() so infocmp,
3056 can access termcap data when the terminfo database is disabled.
3059 + widen the test for xterm kmous a little to allow for other strings
3060 than \E[M, e.g., for xterm-sco functionality in xterm.
3061 + update xterm-related terminfo entries to match xterm patch #216 -TD
3062 + update config.guess, config.sub
3065 + fix for install-rule in Ada95 to add terminal_interface.ads
3066 and terminal_interface.ali (anonymous posting in comp.lang.ada).
3067 + correction to manpage for getcchar() (report by William McBrine).
3069 + modify wchgat() to mark updated cells as changed so a refresh will
3070 repaint those cells (comments by Sadrul H Chowdhury and William
3072 + split up dependency of names.c and codes.c in ncurses/Makefile to
3073 work with parallel make (report/analysis by Joseph S Myers).
3074 + suppress a warning message (which is ignored) for systems without
3075 an ldconfig program (patch by Justin Hibbits).
3076 + modify configure script --disable-symlinks option to allow one to
3077 disable symlink() in tic even when link() does not work (report by
3079 + modify MKfallback.sh to use tic -x when constructing fallback tables
3080 to allow extended capabilities to be retrieved from a fallback entry.
3081 + improve leak-checking logic in tgetent() from 20060625 to ensure that
3082 it does not free the current screen (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
3085 + add a check for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset (NetBSD #33916).
3086 + correct _nc_free_entries() and related functions used for memory leak
3090 + revert a minor change for magic-cookie support from 20060513, which
3091 caused unexpected reset of attributes, e.g., when resizing test/view
3093 + note in clear manpage that the program ignores command-line
3094 parameters (prompted by Debian #371855).
3095 + fixes to make lib_gen.c build properly with changes to the configure
3096 --disable-macros option and NCURSES_NOMACROS (cf: 20060527)
3097 + update/correct several terminfo entries -TD
3098 + add some notes regarding copyright to terminfo.src -TD
3101 + fixes to build Ada95 binding with gnat-4.1.0
3102 + modify read_termtype() so the term_names data is always allocated as
3103 part of the str_table, a better fix for a memory leak (cf: 20030809).
3104 + reduce memory leaks in repeated calls to tgetent() by remembering the
3105 last TERMINAL* value allocated to hold the corresponding data and
3106 freeing that if the tgetent() result buffer is the same as the
3107 previous call (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
3108 + modify tack to test extended capability function-key strings.
3109 + improved gnome terminfo entry (GenToo #122566).
3110 + improved xterm-256color terminfo entry (patch by Alain Bench).
3113 + fix two small memory leaks related to repeated tgetent() calls
3114 with TERM=screen (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
3115 + add --enable-signed-char to simplify Debian package.

3121 + enable the mouse in test/movewindow.c
3122 + improve a limit-check in frm_def.c (John Heasley).
3123 + minor copyright fixes.
3124 + change configure script to produce test/Makefile from data file.
3127 + add a configure option --enable-wgetch-events to enable
3128 NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS, and correct the associated loop-logic in
3129 lib_twait.c (report by Bernd Jendrissek).
3130 + remove include/nomacros.h from build, since the ifdef for
3131 NCURSES_NOMACROS makes that obsolete.
3132 + add entrypoints for some functions which were only provided as macros
3133 to make NCURSES_NOMACROS ifdef work properly: getcurx(), getcury(),
3134 getbegx(), getbegy(), getmaxx(), getmaxy(), getparx() and getpary(),
3136 + provide ifdef for NCURSES_NOMACROS which suppresses most macro
3137 definitions from curses.h, i.e., where a macro is defined to override
3138 a function to improve performance. Allowing a developer to suppress
3139 these definitions can simplify some application (discussion with
3141 + improve description of memu/meml in terminfo manpage.
3144 + if msgr is false, reset video attributes when doing an automargin
3145 wrap to the next line. This makes the ncurses 'k' test work properly
3147 + correct caching of keyname(), which was using only half of its table.
3148 + minor fixes to memory-leak checking.
3149 + make SCREEN._acs_map and SCREEN._screen_acs_map pointers rather than
3150 arrays, making ACS_LEN less visible to applications (suggested by
3152 + move chunk in SCREEN ifdef'd for USE_WIDEC_SUPPORT to the end, so
3153 _screen_acs_map will have the same offset in both ncurses/ncursesw,
3154 making the corresponding tinfo/tinfow libraries binary-compatible
3155 (cf: 20041016, report by Stanislav Ievlev).
3158 + improve debug-tracing for EmitRange().
3159 + change default for --with-develop to "yes". Add NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS
3160 and NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE environment variables to allow runtime
3161 suppression of the related hard-tabs and xmc-glitch features.
3162 + add ncurses version number to top-level manpages, e.g., ncurses, tic,
3163 infocmp, terminfo as well as form, menu, panel.
3164 + update config.guess, config.sub
3165 + modify ncurses.c to work around a bug in NetBSD 3.0 curses
3166 (field_buffer returning null for a valid field). The 'r' test
3167 appears to not work with that configuration since the new_fieldtype()
3168 function is broken in that implementation.
3171 + add hpterm-color terminfo entry -TD
3172 + fixes to compile test-programs with HPUX 11.23
3175 + add copyright notices to files other than those that are generated,
3176 data or adapted from pdcurses (reports by William McBrine, David
3178 + improve rendering on hpterm by not resetting attributes at the end
3179 of doupdate() if the terminal has the magic-cookie feature (report
3181 + add 256color variants of terminfo entries for programs which are
3182 reported to implement this feature -TD
3185 + fix typo in change to NewChar() macro from 20060311 changes, which
3186 broke tab-expansion (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
3189 + document -U option of tic and infocmp.
3190 + modify tic/infocmp to suppress smacs/rmacs when acsc is suppressed
3191 due to size limit, e.g., converting to termcap format. Also
3192 suppress them if the output format does not contain acsc and it
3193 was not VT100-like, i.e., a one-one mapping (Novell #163715).
3194 + add configure check to ensure that SIGWINCH is defined on platforms
3195 such as OS X which exclude that when _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., are
3196 defined (report by Nicholas Cole)
3199 + modify write_object() to not write coincidental extensions of an
3200 entry made due to it being referenced in a use= clause (report by
3202 + another fix for infocmp -i option, which did not ensure that some
3203 escape sequences had comparable prefixes (report by Alain Bench).
3206 + improve discussion of init/reset in terminfo and tput manpages
3207 (report by Alain Bench).
3208 + use is3 string for a fallback of rs3 in the reset program; it was
3209 using is2 (report by Alain Bench).
3210 + correct logic for infocmp -i option, which did not account for
3211 multiple digits in a parameter (cf: 20040828) (report by Alain
3213 + move _nc_handle_sigwinch() to lib_setup.c to make --with-termlib
3214 option work after 20060114 changes (report by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz).
3215 + add copyright notices to test-programs as needed (report by William
3219 + modify ncurses.c 'F' test to combine the wide-characters with color
3220 and/or video attributes.
3221 + modify test/ncurses to use CTL/Q or ESC consistently for exiting
3222 a test-screen (some commands used 'x' or 'q').
3225 + fix an off-by-one in the scrolling-region change (cf_ 20060311).
3228 + add checks in waddchnstr() and wadd_wchnstr() to stop copying when
3229 a null character is found (report by Igor Bogomazov).
3230 + modify progs/Makefile.in to make "tput init" work properly with
3231 cygwin, i.e., do not pass a ".exe" in the reference string used
3232 in check_aliases (report by Samuel Thibault).
3233 + add some checks to ensure current position is within scrolling
3234 region before scrolling on a new line (report by Dan Gookin).
3235 + change some NewChar() usage to static variables to work around
3236 stack garbage introduced when cchar_t is not packed (Redhat #182024).
3239 + workarounds to build test/movewindow with PDcurses 2.7.
3240 + fix for nsterm-16color entry (patch by Alain Bench).
3241 + correct a typo in infocmp manpage (Debian #354281).
3244 + add nsterm-16color entry -TD
3245 + updated mlterm terminfo entry -TD
3246 + remove 970913 feature for copying subwindows as they are moved in
3247 mvwin() (discussion with Bryan Christ).
3248 + modify test/demo_menus.c to demonstrate moving a menu (both the
3249 window and subwindow) using shifted cursor-keys.
3250 + start implementing recursive mvwin() in movewindow.c (incomplete).
3251 + add a fallback definition for GCC_PRINTFLIKE() in test.priv.h,
3252 for movewindow.c (report by William McBrine).
3253 + add help-message to test/movewindow.c
3256 + add test/movewindow.c, to test mvderwin().
3257 + fix ncurses soft-key test so color changes are shown immediately
3258 rather than delayed.
3259 + modify ncurses soft-key test to hide the keys when exiting the test
3261 + fixes to build test programs with PDCurses 2.7, e.g., its headers
3262 rely on autoconf symbols, and it declares stubs for nonfunctional
3263 terminfo and termcap entrypoints.
3266 + improved test/configure to build test/ncurses on HPUX 11 using the
3268 + documented ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS in the ncurses manpage, for the
3269 benefit of developers who do not read INSTALL.
3272 + correct form library Window_To_Buffer() change (cf: 20040516), which
3273 should ignore the video attributes (report by Ricardo Cantu).
3276 + minor fixes to xmc-glitch experimental code:
3277 + suppress line-drawing
3278 + implement max_attributes
3280 + minor fixes for the database iterator.
3281 + fix some buffer limits in c++ demo (comment by Falk Hueffner in
3285 + add toe -a option, to show all databases. This uses new private
3286 interfaces in the ncurses library for iterating through the list of
3288 + fix toe from 20000909 changes which made it not look at
3290 + make toe's -v option parameter optional as per manpage.
3291 + improve SIGWINCH handling by postponing its effect during newterm(),
3292 etc., when allocating screens.
3295 + modify wgetnstr() to return KEY_RESIZE if a sigwinch occurs. Use
3296 this in test/filter.c
3297 + fix an error in filter() modification which caused some applications
3301 + check if filter() was called when getting the screensize. Keep it
3302 at 1 if so (based on Redhat #174498).
3303 + add extension nofilter().
3304 + refined the workaround for ACS mapping.
3305 + make ifdef's consistent in curses.h for the extended colors so the
3306 header file can be used for the normal curses library. The header
3307 file installed for extended colors is a variation of the
3308 wide-character configuration (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
3311 + add a workaround to ACS mapping to allow applications such as
3312 test/blue.c to use the "PC ROM" characters by masking them with
3313 A_ALTCHARSET. This worked up til 5.5, but was lost in the revision
3314 of legacy coding (report by Michael Deutschmann).
3315 + add a null-pointer check in the wide-character version of
3316 calculate_actual_width() (report by Victor Julien).
3317 + improve test/ncurses 'd' (color-edit) test by allowing the RGB
3318 values to be set independently (patch by William McBrine).
3319 + modify test/configure script to allow building test programs with
3321 + modified test programs to allow some to work with NetBSD curses.
3322 Several do not because NetBSD curses implements a subset of X/Open
3323 curses, and also lacks much of SVr4 additions. But it's enough for
3325 + update config.guess and config.sub
3328 + use BSD-specific fix for return-value from cgetent() from CVS where
3329 an unknown terminal type would be reportd as "database not found".
3330 + make tgetent() return code more readable using new symbols
3332 + remove references to non-existent "tctest" program.
3333 + remove TESTPROGS from progs/Makefile.in (it was referring to code
3334 that was never built in that directory).
3335 + typos in curs_addchstr.3x, some doc files (noticed in OpenBSD CVS).
3338 + add use_legacy_coding() function to support lynx's font-switching
3340 + fix formatting in curs_termcap.3x (report by Mike Frysinger).
3341 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to change preprocessor-expanded _Bool back to
3345 + extend test/ncurses.c 's' (overlay window) test to exercise overlay(),
3346 overwrite() and copywin() with different combinations of colors and
3347 attributes (including background color) to make it easy to see the
3348 effect of the different functions.
3349 + corrections to menu/m_global.c for wide-characters (report by
3353 + add configure option --without-dlsym, allowing developers to
3354 configure GPM support without using dlsym() (discussion with Michael
3356 + fix wins_nwstr(), which did not handle single-column non-8bit codes
3360 + move prototypes for wide-character trace functions from curses.tail
3361 to curses.wide to avoid accidental reference to those if
3362 _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined without ensuring that <wchar.h> is
3364 + add/use NCURSES_INLINE definition.
3365 + change some internal functions to use int/unsigned rather than the
3369 + remove a redundant check in lib_color.c (Debian #335655).
3370 + use ld's -search_paths_first option on Darwin to work around odd
3371 search rules on that platform (report by Christian Gennerat, analysis
3373 + remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro.
3374 + ignore EINTR in tcgetattr/tcsetattr calls (Debian #339518).
3375 + fix several bugs in test/bs.c (patch by Stephen Lindholm).
3378 + other minor fixes to cygwin based on tack -TD
3379 + correct smacs in cygwin (Debian #338234, report by Baurzhan
3380 Ismagulov, who noted that it was fixed in Cygwin).
3383 + add shifted up/down arrow codes to xterm-new as kind/kri strings -TD
3384 + modify wbkgrnd() to avoid clearing the A_CHARTEXT attribute bits
3385 since those record the state of multicolumn characters (Debian
3387 + modify werase to clear multicolumn characters that extend into
3388 a derived window (Debian #316663).
3391 + move assignment from environment variable ESCDELAY from initscr()
3392 down to newterm() so the environment variable affects timeouts for
3393 terminals opened with newterm() as well.
3394 + fix a memory leak in keyname().
3395 + add test/demo_altkeys.c
3396 + modify test/demo_defkey.c to exit from loop via 'q' to allow
3397 leak-checking, as well as fix a buffer size in winnstr() call.
3400 + correct order of use-clauses in rxvt-basic entry which made codes for
3401 f1-f4 vt100-style rather than vt220-style (report by Gabor Z Papp).
3402 + suppress configure check for gnatmake if Ada95/Makefile.in is not
3404 + correct a typo in configure --with-bool option for the case where
3405 --without-cxx is used (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
3406 + add a note to INSTALL's discussion of --with-normal, pointing out
3407 that one may wish to use --without-gpm to ensure a completely
3408 static link (prompted by report by Felix von Leitner).
3410 20051010 5.5 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
3413 + document in demo_forms.c some portability issues.
3416 + document side-effect of werase() which sets the cursor position.
3417 + save/restore the current position in form field editing to make
3421 + correct header dependencies in progs, allowing parallel make (report
3422 by Daniel Jacobowitz).
3423 + modify CF_BUILD_CC to ensure that pre-setting $BUILD_CC overrides
3424 the configure check for --with-build-cc (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
3425 + modify CF_CFG_DEFAULTS to not use /usr as the default prefix for
3427 + update config.guess and config.sub from
3428 http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
3431 + modify sed expression which computes path for /usr/lib/terminfo
3432 symbolic link in install to ensure that it does not change unexpected
3433 levels of the path (Gentoo #42336).
3434 + modify default for --disable-lp64 configure option to reduce impact
3435 on existing 64-bit builds. Enabling the _LP64 option may change the
3436 size of chtype and mmask_t. However, for ABI 6, it is enabled by
3437 default (report by Mike Frysinger).
3438 + add configure script check for --enable-ext-mouse, bump ABI to 6 by
3439 default if it is used.
3440 + improve configure script logic for bumping ABI to omit this if the
3441 --with-abi-version option was used.
3442 + update address for Free Software Foundation in tack's source.
3443 + correct wins_wch(), which was not marking the filler-cells of
3444 multi-column characters (cf: 20041023).
3447 + modify mouse initialization to ensure that Gpm_Open() is called only
3448 once. Otherwise GPM gets confused in its initialization of signal
3449 handlers (Debian #326709).
3452 + modify logic for backspacing in a multiline form field to ensure that
3453 it works even when the preceding line is full (report by Frank van
3455 + remove comment about BUGS section of ncurses manpage (Debian #325481)
3458 + document some workarounds for shared and libtool library
3459 configurations in INSTALL (see --with-shared and --with-libtool).
3460 + modify CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GXX_VERSION macros to accommodate
3461 cross-compilers which emit the platform name in their version
3463 arm-sa1100-linux-gnu-g++ (GCC) 4.0.1
3464 (report by Frank van Vugt).
3467 + start updating documentation for upcoming 5.5 release.
3468 + fix to make libtool and libtinfo work together again (cf: 20050122).
3469 + fixes to allow building traces into libtinfo
3470 + add debug trace to tic that shows if/how ncurses will write to the
3471 lower corner of a terminal's screen.
3472 + update llib-l* files.
3475 + modify initializers in c++ binding to build with old versions of g++.
3476 + improve special case for 20050115 repainting fix, ensuring that if
3477 the first changed cell is not a character that the range to be
3478 repainted is adjusted to start at a character's beginning (Debian
3482 + fixes to build on QNX 6.1
3483 + improve configure script checks for Intel 9.0 compiler.
3484 + remove #include's for libc.h (obsolete).
3485 + adjust ifdef's in curses.priv.h so that when cross-compiling to
3486 produce comp_hash and make_keys, no dependency on wchar.h is needed.
3487 That simplifies the build-cppflags (report by Frank van Vugt).
3488 + move modules related to key-binding into libtinfo to fix linkage
3489 problem caused by 20050430 changes to MKkeyname.sh (report by
3490 Konstantin Andreev).
3493 + updates/fixes for configure script macros from vile -TD
3494 + make prism9's sgr string agree with the rest of the terminfo -TD
3495 + make vt220's sgr0 string consistent with sgr string, do this for
3496 several related cases -TD
3497 + improve translation to termcap by filtering the 'me' (sgr0) strings
3498 as in the runtime call to tgetent() (prompted by a discussion with
3500 + improve tic check for sgr0 versus sgr(0), to help ensure that sgr0
3501 resets line-drawing.
3504 + fix special cases for trimming sgr0 for hurd and vt220 (Debian
3506 + split-out _nc_trim_sgr0() from modifications made to tgetent(), to
3507 allow it to be used by tic to provide information about the runtime
3508 changes that would be made to sgr0 for termcap applications.
3509 + modify make_sed.sh to make the group-name in the NAME section of
3510 form/menu library manpage agree with the TITLE string when renaming
3511 is done for Debian (Debian #78866).
3514 + modify parameter type in c++ binding for insch() and mvwinsch() to
3515 be consistent with underlying ncurses library (was char, is chtype).
3516 + modify treatment of Intel compiler to allow _GNU_SOURCE to be defined
3518 + improve configure check for nanosleep(), checking that it works since
3519 some older systems such as AIX 4.3 have a nonworking version.
3522 + update config.guess and config.sub from
3523 http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
3524 + modify misc/shlib to work in test-directory.
3525 + suppress $suffix in misc/run_tic.sh when cross-compiling. This
3526 allows cross-compiles to use the host's tic program to handle the
3527 "make install.data" step.
3528 + improve description of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables in manpages
3529 (prompted by report by Dave Ulrick).
3530 + improve description of cross-compiling in INSTALL
3531 + add NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html by Pradeep Padala
3532 (see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/).
3533 + modify configure script to obtain soname for GPM library (discussion
3534 with Daniel Jacobowitz).
3535 + modify configure script so that --with-chtype option will still
3536 compute the unsigned literals suffix for constants in curses.h
3537 (report by Daniel Jacobowitz:
3538 + patches from Daniel Jacobowitz:
3539 + the man_db.renames entry for tack.1 was backwards.
3540 + tack.1 had some 1m's that should have been 1M's.
3541 + the section for curs_inwstr.3 was wrong.
3544 + correction to --with-chtype option (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
3547 + move build-time edit_man.sh and edit_man.sed scripts to top directory
3548 to simplify reusing them for renaming tack's manpage (prompted by a
3549 review of Debian package).
3550 + revert minor optimization from 20041030 (Debian #313609).
3551 + libtool-specific fixes, tested with libtool 1.4.3, 1.5.0, 1.5.6,
3552 1.5.10 and 1.5.18 (all work except as noted previously for the c++
3553 install using libtool 1.5.0):
3554 + modify the clean-rule in c++/Makefile.in to work with IRIX64 make
3556 + use $(LIBTOOL_UNINSTALL) symbol, overlooked in 20030830
3557 + add configure options --with-chtype and --with-mmask-t, to allow
3558 overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of the corresponding types.
3559 + revise test for size of chtype (and mmask_t), which always returned
3560 "long" due to an uninitialized variable (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
3563 + change _tracef's that used "%p" format for va_list values to ignore
3564 that, since on some platforms those are not pointers.
3565 + fixes for long-formats in printf's due to largefile support.
3568 + fixes for termcap support:
3569 + reset pointer to _nc_curr_token.tk_name when the input stream is
3570 closed, which could point to free memory (cf: 20030215).
3571 + delink TERMTYPE data which is used by the termcap reader, so that
3572 extended names data will be freed consistently.
3573 + free pointer to TERMTYPE data in _nc_free_termtype() rather than
3575 + add some entrypoints for freeing permanently allocated data via
3576 _nc_freeall() when NO_LEAKS is defined.
3577 + amend 20041030 change to _nc_do_color to ensure that optimization is
3578 applied only when the terminal supports back_color_erase (bce).
3581 + add sun-color terminfo entry -TD
3582 + correct a missing assignment in c++ binding's method
3583 NCursesPanel::UserPointer() from 20050409 changes.
3584 + improve configure check for large-files, adding check for dirent64
3586 + minor change to configure script to improve linker options for the
3590 + document error conditions for ncurses library functions (report by
3592 + regenerated html documentation for ada binding.
3593 see ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/gnathtml
3596 + regenerated html documentation for manpages.
3597 + add $(BUILD_EXEEXT) suffix to invocation of make_keys in
3598 ncurses/Makefile (Gentoo #89772).
3599 + modify c++/demo.cc to build with g++ -fno-implicit-templates option
3600 (patch by Mike Frysinger).
3601 + modify tic to filter out long extended names when translating to
3602 termcap format. Only two characters are permissible for termcap
3606 + modify terminfo entries xterm-new and rxvt to add strings for
3607 shift-, control-cursor keys.
3608 + workaround to allow c++ binding to compile with g++ 2.95.3, which
3609 has a broken implementation of static_cast<> (patch by Jeff Chua).
3610 + modify initialization of key lookup table so that if an extended
3611 capability (tic -x) string is defined, and its name begins with 'k',
3612 it will automatically be treated as a key.
3613 + modify test/keynames.c to allow for the possibility of extended
3614 key names, e.g., via define_key(), or via "tic -x".
3615 + add test/demo_termcap.c to show the contents of given entry via the
3619 + minor fixes for vt100/vt52 entries -TD
3620 + add configure option --enable-largefile
3621 + corrected libraries used to build Ada95/gen/gen, found in testing
3625 + update config.guess, config.sub
3626 + modify configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, disable that on
3627 Darwin whose header files have problems (patch by Chris Zubrzycki).
3628 + modify form library Is_Printable_String() to use iswprint() rather
3629 than wcwidth() for determining if a character is printable. The
3630 latter caused it to reject menu items containing non-spacing
3632 + modify ncurses test program's F-test to handle non-spacing characters
3633 by combining them with a reverse-video blank.
3634 + review/fix several gcc -Wconversion warnings.
3637 + correct an off-by-one error in m_driver() for mouse-clicks used to
3638 position the mouse to a particular item.
3639 + implement test/demo_menus.c
3640 + add some checks in lib_mouse to ensure SP is set.
3641 + modify C++ binding to make 20050403 changes work with the configure
3642 --enable-const option.
3645 + modify start_color() to return ERR if it cannot allocate memory.
3646 + address g++ compiler warnings in C++ binding by adding explicit
3647 member initialization, assignment operators and copy constructors.
3648 Most of the changes simply preserve the existing semantics of the
3649 binding, which can leak memory, etc., but by making these features
3650 visible, it provides a framework for improving the binding.
3651 + improve C++ binding using static_cast, etc.
3652 + modify configure script --enable-warnings to add options to g++ to
3653 correspond to the gcc --enable-warnings.
3654 + modify C++ binding to use some C internal functions to make it
3655 compile properly on Solaris (and other platforms).
3658 + amend change from 20050320 to limit it to configurations with a
3660 + fix a bug introduced in 20050320 which broke the translation of
3661 nonprinting characters to uparrow form (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
3664 + add ifdef's for _LP64 in curses.h to avoid using wasteful 64-bits for
3665 chtype and mmask_t, but add configure option --disable-lp64 in case
3666 anyone used that configuration.
3667 + update misc/shlib script to account for Mac OS X (report by Michail
3669 + correct comparison for wrapping multibyte characters in
3670 waddch_literal() (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
3673 + add -c and -w options to tset to allow user to suppress ncurses'
3674 resizing of the terminal emulator window in the special case where it
3675 is not able to detect the true size (report by Win Delvaux, Debian
3677 + modify waddch_nosync() to account for locale zn_CH.GBK, which uses
3678 codes 128-159 as part of multibyte characters (report by Wang
3679 WenRui, Debian #300512).
3682 + modify ncurses.c 'd' test to make it work with 88-color
3683 configuration, i.e., by implementing scrolling.
3684 + improve scrolling in ncurses.c 'c' and 'C' tests, e.g., for 88-color
3688 + change tracemunch to use strict checking.
3689 + modify ncurses.c 'p' test to test line-drawing within a pad.
3690 + implement environment variable NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS to support
3691 miscellaneous terminal emulators which ignore alternate character
3692 set escape sequences when in UTF-8 mode.
3695 + change NCursesWindow::err_handler() to a virtual function (request by
3697 + modify fty_int.c and fty_num.c to handle wide characters (report by
3699 + adapt fix for fty_alpha.c to fty_alnum.c, which also handled normal
3700 and wide characters inconsistently (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
3701 + update llib-* files to reflect internal interface additions/changes.
3704 + improve test/configure script, adding tests for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc.,
3706 + add aixterm-16color terminfo entry -TD
3707 + modified xterm-new terminfo entry to work with tgetent() changes -TD
3708 + extended changes in tgetent() from 20040710 to allow the substring of
3709 sgr0 which matches rmacs to be at the beginning of the sgr0 string
3710 (request by Thomas Wolff). Wolff says the visual effect in
3711 combination with pre-20040710 ncurses is improved.
3712 + fix off-by-one in winnstr() call which caused form field validation
3713 of multibyte characters to ignore the last character in a field.
3714 + correct logic in winsch() for inserting multibyte strings; the code
3715 would clear cells after the insertion rather than push them to the
3716 right (cf: 20040228).
3717 + fix an inconsistency in Check_Alpha_Field() between normal and wide
3718 character logic (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
3721 + fix a bug in editing wide-characters in form library: deleting a
3722 nonwide character modified the previous wide-character.
3723 + update manpage to describe NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2.
3724 + correct manpage description of mouseinterval() (Debian #280687).
3725 + add a note to default_colors.3x explaining why this extension was
3726 added (Debian #295083).
3727 + add traces to panel library.
3730 + improve editing of wide-characters in form library: left/right
3731 cursor movement, and single-character deletions work properly.
3732 + disable GPM mouse support when $TERM happens to be prefixed with
3733 "xterm". Gpm_Open() would otherwise assert that it can deal with
3734 mouse events in this case.
3735 + modify GPM mouse support so it closes the server connection when
3736 the caller disables the mouse (report by Stanislav Ievlev).
3739 + add traces for callback functions in form library.
3740 + add experimental configure option --enable-ext-mouse, which defines
3741 NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies the encoding of mouse events to
3742 support wheel mice, which may transmit buttons 4 and 5. This works
3743 with xterm and similar X terminal emulators (prompted by question by
3744 Andreas Henningsson, this is also related to Debian #230990).
3745 + improve configure macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE to
3746 avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin.
3749 + merge remaining development changes for extended colors (mostly
3750 complete, does not appear to break other configurations).
3751 + add xterm-88color.dat (part of extended colors testing).
3752 + improve _tracedump() handling of color pairs past 96.
3753 + modify return-value from start_color() to return OK if colors have
3754 already been started.
3755 + modify curs_color.3x list error conditions for init_pair(),
3756 pair_content() and color_content().
3757 + modify pair_content() to return -1 for consistency with init_pair()
3758 if it corresponds to the default-color.
3759 + change internal representation of default-color to allow application
3760 to use color number 255. This does not affect the total number of
3761 color pairs which are allowed.
3762 + add a top-level tags rule.
3765 + add a null-pointer check in wgetch() in case it is called without
3766 first calling initscr().
3767 + add some null-pointer checks for SP, which is not set by libtinfo.
3768 + modify misc/shlib to ensure that absolute pathnames are used.
3769 + modify test/Makefile.in, etc., to link test programs only against the
3770 libraries needed, e.g., omit form/menu/panel library for the ones
3771 that are curses-specific.
3772 + change SP->_current_attr to a pointer, adjust ifdef's to ensure that
3773 libtinfo.so and libtinfow.so have the same ABI. The reason for this
3774 is that the corresponding data which belongs to the upper-level
3775 ncurses library has a different size in each model (report by
3779 + minor fixes to allow test-compiles with g++.
3780 + correct column value shown in tic's warnings, which did not account
3781 for leading whitespace.
3782 + add a check in _nc_trans_string() for improperly ended strings, i.e.,
3783 where a following line begins in column 1.
3784 + modify _nc_save_str() to return a null pointer on buffer overflow.
3785 + improve repainting while scrolling wide-character data (Eungkyu Song).
3788 + merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
3791 + merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
3792 + fix manpage typo (FreeBSD report docs/75544).
3793 + update config.guess, config.sub
3794 > patches for configure script (Albert Chin-A-Young):
3795 + improved fix to make mbstate_t recognized on HPUX 11i (cf:
3796 20030705), making vsscanf() prototype visible on IRIX64. Tested for
3797 on HP-UX 11i, Solaris 7, 8, 9, AIX 4.3.3, 5.2, Tru64 UNIX 4.0D, 5.1,
3798 IRIX64 6.5, Redhat Linux 7.1, 9, and RHEL 2.1, 3.0.
3799 + print the result of the --disable-home-terminfo option.
3800 + use -rpath when compiling with SGI C compiler.
3803 + add trace calls to remaining public functions in form and menu
3805 + fix check for numeric digits in test/ncurses.c 'b' and 'B' tests.
3806 + fix typo in test/ncurses.c 'c' test from 20041218.
3809 + revise test/ncurses.c 'c' color test to improve use for xterm-88color
3810 and xterm-256color, added 'C' test using the wide-character color_set
3811 and attr_set functions.
3814 + modify configure script to work with Intel compiler.
3815 + fix an limit-check in wadd_wchnstr() which caused labels in the
3816 forms-demo to be one character short.
3817 + fix typo in curs_addchstr.3x (Jared Yanovich).
3818 + add trace calls to most functions in form and menu libraries.
3819 + update working-position for adding wide-characters when window is
3820 scrolled (prompted by related report by Eungkyu Song).
3823 + replace some references on Linux to wcrtomb() which use it to obtain
3824 the length of a multibyte string with _nc_wcrtomb, since wcrtomb() is
3825 broken in glibc (see Debian #284260).
3826 + corrected length-computation in wide-character support for
3828 + some fixes to frm_driver.c to allow it to accept multibyte input.
3829 + modify configure script to work with Intel 8.0 compiler.
3832 + amend change to setupterm() in 20030405 which would reuse the value
3833 of cur_term if the same output was selected. This now reuses it only
3834 when setupterm() is called from tgetent(), which has no notion of
3835 separate SCREENs. Note that tgetent() must be called after initscr()
3836 or newterm() to use this feature (Redhat #140326).
3837 + add a check in CF_BUILD_CC macro to ensure that developer has given
3838 the --with-build-cc option when cross-compiling (report by Alexandre
3840 + improved configure script checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE and
3841 _POSIX_C_SOURCE (fix for IRIX 5.3 from Georg Schwarz, _POSIX_C_SOURCE
3843 + cosmetic fix to test/gdc.c to recolor the bottom edge of the box
3844 for consistency (comment by Dan Nelson).
3847 + update wsvt25 terminfo entry -TD
3848 + modify test/ins_wide.c to test all flavors of ins_wstr().
3849 + ignore filler-cells in wadd_wchnstr() when adding a cchar_t array
3850 which consists of multi-column characters, since this function
3851 constructs them (cf: 20041023).
3852 + modify winnstr() to return multibyte character strings for the
3853 wide-character configuration.
3856 + fixes to make slk_set() and slk_wset() accept and store multibyte
3857 or multicolumn characters.
3860 + improve color optimization a little by making _nc_do_color() check
3861 if the old/new pairs are equivalent to the default pair 0.
3862 + modify assume_default_colors() to not require that
3863 use_default_colors() be called first.
3866 + modify term_attrs() to use termattrs(), add the extended attributes
3867 such as enter_horizontal_hl_mode for WA_HORIZONTAL to term_attrs().
3868 + add logic in waddch_literal() to clear orphaned cells when one
3869 multi-column character partly overwrites another.
3870 + improved logic for clearing cells when a multi-column character
3871 must be wrapped to a new line.
3872 + revise storage of cells for multi-column characters to correct a
3873 problem with repainting. In the old scheme, it was possible for
3874 doupdate() to decide that only part of a multi-column character
3875 should be repainted since the filler cells stored only an attribute
3876 to denote them as fillers, rather than the character value and the
3880 + minor fixes for traces.
3881 + add SP->_screen_acs_map[], used to ensure that mapping of missing
3882 line-drawing characters is handled properly. For example, ACS_DARROW
3883 is absent from xterm-new, and it was coincidentally displayed the
3887 + amend 20021221 workaround for broken acs to reset the sgr, rmacs
3888 and smacs strings as well. Also modify the check for screen's
3889 limitations in that area to allow the multi-character shift-in
3890 and shift-out which seem to work.
3891 + change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it dynamically
3892 at runtime (Debian #110586).
3895 + correct logic for color pair in setcchar() and getcchar() (patch by
3896 Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
3897 + add t/T commands to ncurses b/B tests to allow a different color to
3898 be tested for the attrset part of the test than is used in the
3902 + fix to make setcchar() to work when its wchar_t* parameter is
3903 pointing to a string which contains more data than can be converted.
3904 + modify wget_wstr() and example in ncurses.c to work if wchar_t and
3905 wint_t are different sizes (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
3908 + remove check in wget_wch() added to fix an infinite loop, appears to
3909 have been working around a transitory glibc bug, and interferes
3910 with normal operation (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
3911 + correct wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not pass the rendition
3912 information (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
3913 + fix aclocal.m4 so that the wide-character version of ncurses gets
3914 compiled as libncursesw.5.dylib, instead of libncurses.5w.dylib
3915 (adapted from patch by James J Ramsey).
3916 + change configure script for --with-caps option to indicate that it
3917 is no longer experimental.
3918 + change configure script to reflect the fact that --enable-widec has
3919 not been "experimental" since 5.3 (report by Bruno Lustosa).
3922 + add 'B' test to ncurses.c, to exercise some wide-character functions.
3925 + modify infocmp -i option to match 8-bit controls against its table
3926 entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry.
3927 + add morphos terminfo entry, improve amiga-8bit entry (Pavel Fedin).
3928 + correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap, e.g.,
3929 using "tic -C" (Redhat #130921).
3930 + modified configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to ensure that if
3931 it defines _POSIX_C_SOURCE, that it defines it to a specific value
3932 (comp.os.stratus newsgroup comment).
3935 + fixes to build with Ada95 binding with gnat 3.4 (all warnings are
3936 fatal, and gnat does not follow the guidelines for pragmas).
3937 However that did find a coding error in Assume_Default_Colors().
3938 + modify several terminfo entries to ensure xterm mouse and cursor
3939 visibility are reset in rs2 string: hurd, putty, gnome,
3940 konsole-base, mlterm, Eterm, screen (Debian #265784, Debian #55637).
3941 The xterm entries are left alone - old ones for compatibility, and
3942 the new ones do not require this change. -TD
3945 + fake a SIGWINCH in newterm() to accommodate buggy terminal emulators
3946 and window managers (Debian #265631).
3947 > terminfo updates -TD
3948 + remove dch/dch1 from rxvt because they are implemented inconsistently
3949 with the common usage of bce/ech
3950 + remove khome from vt220 (vt220's have no home key)
3954 + modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test, adding v/V toggles to cycle through
3955 combinations of video attributes so that for instance bold and
3956 underline can be tested. This made the legend too crowded, added
3957 a help window as well.
3958 + modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test to cycle through default colors if
3959 the -d option is set.
3960 + update putty terminfo entry (Robert de Bath).
3963 + modify test/cardfile.c to allow it to read more data than can be
3965 + correct logic in resizeterm.c which kept it from processing all
3966 levels of window hierarchy (reports by Folkert van Heusden,
3970 + modify "tic -cv" to ignore delays when comparing strings. Also
3971 modify it to ignore a canceled sgr string, e.g., for terminals which
3972 cannot properly combine attributes in one control sequence.
3973 + corrections for gnome and konsole entries (Redhat #122815, patch by
3975 > terminfo updates -TD
3976 + make ncsa-m rmacs/smacs consistent with sgr
3977 + add sgr, rc/sc and ech to syscons entries

3990 + correct tsl string in kterm
3993 + add configure option --without-xterm-new
3996 + add check in wget_wch() for printable bytes that are not part of a
3997 multibyte character.
3998 + modify wadd_wchnstr() to render text using window's background
4000 + improve tic's check to compare sgr and sgr0.
4001 + fix c++ directory's .cc.i rule.
4002 + modify logic in tgetent() which adjusts the termcap "me" string
4003 to work with ISO-2022 string used in xterm-new (cf: 20010908).
4004 + modify tic's check for conflicting function keys to omit that if
4005 converting termcap to termcap format.
4006 + add -U option to tic and infocmp.
4007 + add rmam/smam to linux terminfo entry (Trevor Van Bremen)
4008 > terminfo updates -TD
4009 + minor fixes for emu

4018 + correct field used for comparing O_ROWMAJOR in set_menu_format()
4019 (report/patch by Tony Li).
4020 + fix a missing nul check in set_field_buffer() from 20040508 changes.

4033 as documented in the manpage (report by Ian Collier).
4034 + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro to make Hurd port build
4035 (Debian #249214, report/patch by Jeff Bailey).
4036 + configure-script mods from xterm, e.g., updates to CF_ADD_CFLAGS

4040 + add xterm-xf86-v44

4042 relies on G1 being used via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (report by
4047 + reconsidered winsnstr(), decided after comparing other
4048 implementations that wrapping is an X/Open documentation error.
4049 + modify test/inserts.c to test all flavors of insstr().
4052 + add setlocale() calls to a few test programs which may require it:
4053 demo_forms.c, filter.c, ins_wide.c, inserts.c
4054 + correct a few misspelled function names in ncurses-intro.html (report
4056 + correct internal name of key_defined() manpage, which conflicted with
4060 + correct size of internal pad used for holding wide-character
4061 field_buffer() results.
4062 + modify data_ahead() to work with wide-characters.
4065 + improve description of terminfo if-then-else expressions (suggested
4067 + improve test/ncurses.c 'd' test, allow it to use external file for
4068 initial palette (added xterm-16color.dat and linux-color.dat), and
4069 reset colors to the initial palette when starting/ending the test.
4070 + change limit-check in init_color() to allow r/g/b component to
4071 reach 1000 (cf: 20020928).
4074 + modify form library to use cchar_t's rather than char's in the
4075 wide-character configuration for storing data for field buffers.
4076 + correct logic of win_wchnstr(), which did not work for more than
4080 + replace memset/memcpy usage in form library with for-loops to
4081 simplify changing the datatype of FIELD.buf, part of wide-character
4083 + fix some inconsistent use of #if/#ifdef (report by Alain Guibert).
4086 + modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by
4087 multibyte character strings, in the wide-character configuration
4088 (adapted from patch by Philipp Tomsich).
4089 + add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F"
4090 comparisons. This modifies infocmp to only report extended
4091 capabilities if the -x option is given, making this more consistent
4092 with tic. Some scripts may break, since infocmp previous gave this
4093 information without an option.
4094 + modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the beginning
4095 of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic.
4098 + minor compiler-warning and test-program fixes.
4101 + modify tic's missing-sgr warning to apply to terminfo only.
4102 + free some memory leaks in tic.
4103 + remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending
4104 beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner).
4105 + remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
4106 that extend beyond the screen. Solaris curses does this.
4107 + add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older
4109 + add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog.
4112 + modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond
4113 to an unsigned char.
4114 + add some limit-checks to guard isprint(), etc., from being used on
4115 values that do not fit into an unsigned char (report by Sami Farin).
4118 + fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change.
4121 + modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's
4122 current locale rather than using getenv(). This fixes a case in tin
4123 which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale
4124 is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen).
4125 + add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD.
4126 + add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr
4127 string. This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with
4128 color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places.
4129 + correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the
4130 original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before
4131 20030802 (Debian #237629).
4134 + modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of
4135 A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from
4136 being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the
4137 raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879).
4140 + fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report
4142 + remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses
4143 some apropos script (Debian #237831).
4146 + modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text,
4147 set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing
4148 mode is shown in that test.
4149 + change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake.
4150 + correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which
4151 did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419).
4154 + modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a
4156 + split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it. X/Open states
4157 that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other
4158 insert-functions. Currently it does not wrap.
4159 + check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by
4161 + split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first.
4162 + fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC,
4163 which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report
4164 by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev).
4167 + some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete
4168 (request by Mike Aubury).
4169 + add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of
4171 #define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0
4173 (discussion on XFree86 mailing list).
4176 + modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets
4177 the name of the terminfo library. This would allow a packager to
4178 build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion
4179 with Stanislav Ievlev).
4180 + improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and
4181 $(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew).
4182 + add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename
4183 its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to
4184 ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory
4185 (prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs).
4187 20040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
4190 20040207 pre-release
4191 + minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param,
4192 and do not count %d if it follows a %p.
4193 + correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255
4194 range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests. In POSIX
4195 locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former
4197 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac
4198 OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix
4199 verified by Scott Corscadden).
4201 20040131 pre-release
4202 + modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors
4203 to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo
4204 (patch by Stanislav Ievlev).
4205 + document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage.
4206 + document special features of unctrl() in manpage.
4207 + documented interface changes in INSTALL.
4208 + corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale
4209 (Debian #230335, cf: 971206).
4210 + updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
4211 + fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package.
4212 + minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5.
4214 20040125 pre-release
4215 + amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number
4216 of cells for a possibly multi-cell character. The 20030614 change
4217 forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not
4218 greater than zero. However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the
4219 range 128-255 can give this return value. The logic now simply
4220 ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without
4221 modifying the displayed value.
4223 20040124 pre-release
4224 + looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above)
4225 + modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since
4226 that works better for cross-compiling.
4228 20040117 pre-release
4229 + modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
4230 work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
4231 zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
4232 + add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
4233 to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
4234 + add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
4235 + add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
4237 + modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
4238 (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz (see Debian
4240 + correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
4241 exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss (see Debian #224443)).
4242 + modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
4243 + remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
4244 + make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
4245 + improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
4246 CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
4247 + add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
4248 simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
4249 + add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
4250 patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
4251 + fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
4253 + resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
4254 NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
4255 + make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
4256 will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
4257 + rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool. The
4258 intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
4259 compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
4260 does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).
4262 20040110 pre-release
4263 + change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4
4264 + revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W
4266 + simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the
4267 configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav
4269 + remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav
4271 + modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs
4272 such as tic are not linked with the upper-level ncurses library
4273 (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
4274 + move version.c from ncurses/base to ncurses/tinfo to allow linking
4275 of tic, etc., using libtinfo (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
4278 + adjust -D's to build ncursesw on OpenBSD.
4279 + modify CF_PROG_EXT to make OS/2 build with EXEEXT.
4280 + add pecho_wchar().
4281 + remove <wctype.h> include from lib_slk_wset.c which is not needed (or
4282 available) on older platforms.
4285 + add -D's to build ncursew on FreeBSD 5.1.
4286 + modify shared library configuration for FreeBSD 4.x/5.x to add the
4287 soname information (request by Marc Glisse).
4288 + modify _nc_read_tic_entry() to not use MAX_ALIAS, but PATH_MAX only
4289 for limiting the length of a filename in the terminfo database.
4290 + modify termname() to return the terminal name used by setupterm()
4291 rather than $TERM, without truncating to 14 characters as documented
4292 by X/Open (report by Stanislav Ievlev, cf: 970719).
4293 + re-add definition for _BSD_TYPES, lost in merge (cf: 20031206).
4296 + add configure option --with-manpage-format=catonly to address
4297 behavior of BSDI, allow install of man+cat files on NetBSD, whose
4298 behavior has diverged by requiring both to be present.
4299 + remove leading blanks from comment-lines in manlinks.sed script to
4300 work with Tru64 4.0d.
4301 + add screen.linux terminfo entry (discussion on mutt-users mailing
4305 + add a check for tic to flag missing backslashes for termcap
4306 continuation lines. ncurses reads the whole entry, but termcap
4307 applications do not.
4308 + add configure option "--with-manpage-aliases" extending
4309 "--with-manpage-aliases" to provide the option of generating ".so"
4310 files rather than symbolic links for manpage aliases.
4311 + add bool definition in include/curses.h.in for configurations with no
4312 usable C++ compiler (cf: 20030607).
4313 + fix pathname of SigAction.h for building with --srcdir (reported by
4317 + folded ncurses/base/sigaction.c into includes of ncurses/SigAction.h,
4318 since that header is used only within ncurses/tty/lib_tstp.c, for
4319 non-POSIX systems (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev).
4320 + remove obsolete _nc_outstr() function (report by Stanislav Ievlev
4321 <inger@altlinux.org>).
4322 + add test/background.c and test/color_set.c
4323 + modify color_set() function to work with color pair 0 (report by
4324 George Andreou <gbandreo@tem.uoc.gr>).
4325 + add configure option --with-trace, since defining TRACE seems too
4326 awkward for some cases.
4327 + remove a call to _nc_free_termtype() from read_termtype(), since the
4328 corresponding buffer contents were already zeroed by a memset (cf:
4330 + improve configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and related definitions,
4331 adding special cases for Solaris' __EXTENSIONS__ and FreeBSD's
4332 __BSD_TYPES (reports by Marc Glisse <marc.glisse@normalesup.org>).
4333 + small fixes to compile on Solaris and IRIX64 using cc.
4334 + correct typo in check for pre-POSIX sort options in MKkey_defs.sh
4338 + modify _nc_gettime() to avoid a problem with arithmetic on unsigned
4339 values (Philippe Blain).
4340 + improve the nanosleep() logic in napms() by checking for EINTR and
4341 restarting (Philippe Blain).
4342 + correct expression for "%D" in lib_tgoto.c (Juha Jarvi
4346 + add linux-vt terminfo entry (Andrey V Lukyanov <land@long.yar.ru>).
4347 + allow "\|" escape in terminfo; tic should not warn about this.
4348 + save the full pathname of the trace-file the first time it is opened,
4349 to avoid creating it in different directories if the application
4350 opens and closes it while changing its working directory.
4351 + modify configure script to provide a non-empty default for
4355 + add DJGPP to special case of DOS-style drive letters potentially
4356 appearing in TERMCAP environment variable.
4357 + fix some spelling in comments (reports by Jason McIntyre, Jonathon
4359 + update config.guess, config.sub
4362 + fix a memory leak in error-return from setupterm() (report by
4363 Stanislav Ievlev <inger@altlinux.org>).
4364 + use EXEEXT and OBJEXT consistently in makefiles.
4365 + amend fixes for cross-compiling to use separate executable-suffix
4366 BUILD_EXEEXT (cf: 20031018).
4367 + modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for sort utility that does not
4368 recognize key options, e.g., busybox (report by Peter S Mazinger
4370 + fix potential out-of-bounds indexing in _nc_infotocap() (found by
4371 David Krause using some of the new malloc debugging features
4372 under OpenBSD, patch by Ted Unangst).
4373 + modify CF_LIB_SUFFIX for Itanium releases of HP-UX, which use a
4374 ".so" suffix (patch by Jonathan Ward <Jonathan.Ward@hp.com>).
4377 + update terminfo for xterm-xfree86 -TD
4378 + add check for multiple "tc=" clauses in a termcap to tic.
4379 + check for missing op/oc in tic.
4380 + correct _nc_resolve_uses() and _nc_merge_entry() to allow infocmp and
4381 tic to show cancelled capabilities. These functions were ignoring
4382 the state of the target entry, which should be untouched if cancelled.
4383 + correct comment in tack/output.c (Debian #215806).
4384 + add some null-pointer checks to lib_options.c (report by Michael
4386 + regenerated html documentation.
4387 + correction to tar-copy.sh, remove a trap command that resulted in
4388 leaving temporary files (cf: 20030510).
4389 + remove contact/maintainer addresses for Juergen Pfeifer (his request).
4392 + updated test/configure to reflect changes for libtool (cf: 20030830).
4393 + fix several places in tack/pad.c which tested and used the parameter-
4394 and parameterless strings inconsistently, i.e., in pad_rin(),
4395 pad_il(), pad_indn() and pad_dl() (Debian #215805).
4396 + minor fixes for configure script and makefiles to cleanup executables
4397 generated when cross-compiling for DJGPP.
4398 + modify infocmp to omit check for $TERM for operations that do not
4399 require it, e.g., "infocmp -e" used to build fallback list (report by
4403 + add terminfo entries for DJGPP.
4404 + updated note about maintainer in ncurses-intro.html
4407 + update terminfo entries for gnome terminal.
4408 + modify tack to reset colors after each color test, correct a place
4409 where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode.
4410 + improve tack's bce test by making it set colors other than black
4412 + plug a potential recursion between napms() and _nc_timed_wait()
4413 (report by Philippe Blain).
4416 + add --with-rel-version option to allow workaround to allow making
4417 libtool on Darwin generate the "same" library names as with the
4418 --with-shared option. The Darwin ld program does not work well
4419 with a zero as the minor-version value (request by Chris Zubrzycki).
4420 + modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro to work with cross-compiling.
4421 + modify tack to allow it to run from fallback terminfo data.
4422 > patch by Philippe Blain:
4423 + improve PutRange() by adjusting call to EmitRange() and corresponding
4424 return-value to not emit unchanged characters on the end of the
4426 + improve a check for changed-attribute by exiting a loop when the
4428 + improve logic in TransformLine(), eliminating a duplicated comparison
4429 in the clr_bol logic.
4432 > patch by Philippe Blain:
4433 + in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
4434 move the label 'nonlocal' just before the second gettimeofday() to
4435 be able to compute the diff time when 'goto nonlocal' used.
4436 Rename 'msec' to 'microsec' in the debug-message.
4437 + in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
4438 Use _nc_outch() in carriage return/newline movement instead of
4439 putchar() which goes to stdout. Move test for xold>0 out of loop.
4440 + in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c,
4441 Set the flag SP->_buffered at the end of operations when all has been
4442 successful (typeMalloc can fail).
4443 + simplify NC_BUFFERED macro by moving check inside _nc_setbuf().
4446 + modify configure script to avoid using "head -1", which does not
4447 work if POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set.
4448 + modify run_tic.in to avoid using wrong shared libraries when
4449 cross-compiling (Dan Kegel).
4452 + alter configure script help message to make it clearer that
4453 --with-build-cc does not specify a cross-compiler (suggested by Dan
4454 Kegel <dank@kegel.com>).
4455 + modify configure script to accommodate libtool 1.5, as well as add an
4456 parameter to the "--with-libtool" option which can specify the
4457 pathname of libtool (report by Chris Zubrzycki). We note that
4458 libtool 1.5 has more than one bug in its C++ support, so it is not
4459 able to install libncurses++, for instance, if $DESTDIR or the option
4460 --with-install-prefix is used.
4463 > patch by Philippe Blain:
4464 + move assignments to SP->_cursrow, SP->_curscol into online_mvcur().
4465 + make baudrate computation in delay_output() consistent with the
4466 assumption in _nc_mvcur_init(), i.e., a byte is 9 bits.
4469 + modify logic in waddch_literal() to take into account zh_TW.Big5
4470 whose multibyte sequences may contain "printable" characters, e.g.,
4471 a "g" in the sequence "\247g" (Debian #204889, cf: 20030621).
4472 + improve storage used by _nc_safe_strcpy() by ensuring that the size
4473 is reset based on the initialization call, in case it were called
4474 after other strcpy/strcat calls (report by Philippe Blain).
4475 > patch by Philippe Blain:
4476 + remove an unused ifdef for REAL_ATTR & WANT_CHAR
4477 + correct a place where _cup_cost was used rather than _cuu_cost
4480 + fix a small memory leak in _nc_free_termtype().
4481 + close trace-file if trace() is called with a zero parameter.
4482 + free memory allocated for soft-key strings, in delscreen().
4483 + fix an allocation size in safe_sprintf.c for the "*" format code.
4484 + correct safe_sprintf.c to not return a null pointer if the format
4485 happens to be an empty string. This applies to the "configure
4486 --enable-safe-sprintf" option (Redhat #101486).
4489 + modify casts used for ABSENT_BOOLEAN and CANCELLED_BOOLEAN (report by
4491 > patch by Philippe Blain:
4492 + change padding for change_scroll_region to not be proportional to
4493 the size of the scroll-region.
4494 + correct error-return in _nc_safe_strcat().
4497 + correct limit-checks in _nc_scroll_window() (report and test-case by
4498 Thomas Graf <graf@dms.at> cf: 20011020).
4499 + re-order configure checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE to avoid conflict with
4503 + use clr_eol in preference to blanks for bce terminals, so select and
4504 paste will have fewer trailing blanks, e.g., when using xterm
4505 (request by Vincent Lefevre).
4506 + correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
4507 + add configure --with-abi-version option (discussion with Charles
4509 > cygwin changes from Charles Wilson:
4510 + aclocal.m4: on cygwin, use autodetected prefix for import
4511 and static lib, but use "cyg" for DLL.
4512 + include/ncurses_dll.h: correct the comments to reflect current
4513 status of cygwin/mingw port. Fix compiler warning.
4514 + misc/run_tic.in: ensure that tic.exe can find the uninstalled
4515 DLL, by adding the lib-directory to the PATH variable.
4516 + misc/terminfo.src (nxterm|xterm-color): make xterm-color
4517 primary instead of nxterm, to match XFree86's xterm.terminfo
4518 usage and to prevent circular links.
4519 (rxvt): add additional codes from rxvt.org.
4520 (rxvt-color): new alias
4521 (rxvt-xpm): new alias
4522 (rxvt-cygwin): like rxvt, but with special acsc codes.
4523 (rxvt-cygwin-native): ditto. rxvt may be run under XWindows, or
4524 with a "native" MSWin GUI. Each takes different acsc codes,
4525 which are both different from the "normal" rxvt's acsc.
4526 (cygwin): cygwin-in-cmd.exe window. Lots of fixes.
4528 + mk-1st.awk: use "cyg" for the DLL prefix, but "lib" for import
4532 + update config.guess, config.sub
4533 + add triples for configuring shared libraries with the Debian
4534 GNU/FreeBSD packages (patch by Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>).
4537 + modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS so it only applies to gcc, not g++. Some
4538 platforms have installed g++ along with the native C compiler, which
4539 would not accept gcc warning options.
4540 + add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 when configuring with --enable-widec, to
4541 get mbstate_t declaration on HPUX 11.11 (report by David Ellement).
4542 + add _nc_pathlast() to get rid of casts in _nc_basename() calls.
4543 + correct a sign-extension in wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() from
4544 20030628 (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
4545 + work around omission of btowc() and wctob() from wide-character
4546 support (sic) in NetBSD 1.6 using mbtowc() and wctomb() (report by
4548 + add portability note to curs_get_wstr.3x (Debian #199957).
4551 + rewrite wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to call waddch() and wechochar()
4552 respectively, to avoid calling waddch_noecho() with wide-character
4553 data, since that function assumes its input is 8-bit data.
4554 Similarly, modify waddnwstr() to call wadd_wch().
4555 + remove logic from waddnstr() which transformed multibyte character
4556 strings into wide-characters. Rewrite of waddch_literal() from
4557 20030621 assumes its input is raw multibyte data rather than wide
4558 characters (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
4561 + write getyx() and related 2-return macros in terms of getcury(),
4563 + modify waddch_literal() in case an application passes bytes of a
4564 multibyte character directly to waddch(). In this case, waddch()
4565 must reassemble the bytes into a wide-character (report by Tomohiro
4566 Kubota <kubota@debian.org>).
4569 + modify waddch_literal() in case a multibyte value occupies more than
4571 + modify PutAttrChar() to compute the number of character cells that
4572 are used in multibyte values. This fixes a problem displaying
4573 double-width characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen
4574 <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
4575 + add a null-pointer check for result of keyname() in _tracechar()
4576 + modify _tracechar() to work around glibc sprintf bug.
4579 + add a call to setlocale() in cursesmain.cc, making demo display
4580 properly in a UTF-8 locale.
4581 + add a fallback definition in curses.priv.h for MB_LEN_MAX (prompted
4582 by discussion with Gabor Z Papp).
4583 + use macros NCURSES_ACS() and NCURSES_WACS() to hide cast needed to
4584 appease -Wchar-subscript with g++ 3.3 (Debian #195732).
4585 + fix a redefinition of $RANLIB in the configure script when libtool
4586 is used, which broke configure on Mac OS X (report by Chris Zubrzycki
4588 + simplify ifdef for bool declaration in curses.h.in (suggested by
4589 Albert Chin-A-Young).
4590 + remove configure script check to allow -Wconversion for older
4591 versions of gcc (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young).
4594 + regenerated html manpages.
4595 + modify ifdef's in curses.h.in that disabled use of __attribute__()
4596 for g++, since recent versions implement the cases which ncurses uses
4598 + modify _nc_get_token() to handle a case where an entry has no
4599 description, and capabilities begin on the same line as the entry
4601 + fix a typo in ncurses_dll.h reported by gcc 3.3.
4602 + add an entry for key_defined.3x to man_db.renames.
4605 + modify setcchar() to allow converting control characters to complex
4606 characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
4607 + add tkterm entry -TD
4608 + modify parse_entry.c to allow a terminfo entry with a leading
4609 2-character name (report by Don Libes).
4610 + corrected acsc in screen.teraterm, which requires a PC-style mapping.
4611 + fix trace statements in read_entry.c to use lseek() rather than
4613 + fix signed/unsigned warnings from Sun's compiler (gcc should give
4614 these warnings, but it is unpredictable).
4615 + modify configure script to omit -Winline for gcc 3.3, since that
4617 + modify manlinks.sed to add a few functions that were overlooked since
4618 they return function pointers: field_init, field_term, form_init,
4619 form_term, item_init, item_term, menu_init and menu_term.
4622 + prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot
4623 be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report
4624 by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.com>).
4625 + change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted
4627 + add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there
4628 are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the
4629 current test programs.
4630 + corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not
4631 convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it.
4632 + corrections to lib_get_wstr.c:
4633 + null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally
4635 + map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into
4636 key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not
4637 mentioned in the terminfo.
4638 + modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line
4639 drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221).
4642 + make typography for program options in manpages consistent (report
4643 by Miloslav Trmac <mitr@volny.cz>).
4644 + correct dependencies in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, so the builds with
4645 "--srcdir" work (report by Warren L Dodge).
4646 + correct missing definition of $(CC) in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in
4647 (reported by Warren L Dodge <warrend@mdhost.cse.tek.com>).
4648 + fix typos and whitespace in manpages (patch by Jason McIntyre
4649 <jmc@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl>).
4652 + fix form_driver() cases for REQ_CLR_EOF, REQ_CLR_EOL, REQ_DEL_CHAR,
4653 REQ_DEL_PREV and REQ_NEW_LINE, which did not ensure the cursor was at
4654 the editing position before making modifications.
4655 + add test/demo_forms and associated test/edit_field.c demos.
4656 + modify test/configure.in to use test/modules for the list of objects
4657 to compile rather than using the list of programs.
4660 + modify logic of acsc to use the original character if no mapping is
4661 defined, noting that Solaris does this.
4662 + modify ncurses 'b' test to avoid using the acs_map[] array since
4663 20021231 changes it to no longer contain information from the acsc
4665 + modify makefile rules in c++, progs, tack and test to ensure that
4666 the compiler flags (e.g., $CFLAGS or $CCFLAGS) are used in the link
4667 command (report by Jose Luis Rico Botella <informatica@serpis.com>).
4668 + modify soft-key initialization to use A_REVERSE if A_STANDOUT would
4669 not be shown when colors are used, i.e., if ncv#1 is set in the
4670 terminfo as is done in "screen".
4673 + add a test for slk_color(), in ncurses.c
4674 + fix some issues reported by valgrind in the slk_set() and slk_wset()
4675 code, from recent rewrite.
4676 + modify ncurses 'E' test to use show previous label via slk_label(),
4678 + modify wide-character versions of NewChar(), NewChar2() macros to
4679 ensure that the whole struct is initialized.
4682 + modify setupterm() to check if the terminfo and terminal-modes have
4683 already been read. This ensures that it does not reinvoke
4684 def_prog_mode() when an application calls more than one function,
4685 such as tgetent() and initscr() (report by Olaf Buddenhagen).
4688 + add 'E' test to ncurses.c, to exercise slk_wset().
4689 + correct handling of carriage-return in wgetn_wstr(), used in demo of
4691 + first draft of slk_wset() function.
4694 + improved warnings in tic when suppressing items to fit in termcap's
4696 + built a list in test/README showing which externals are being used
4697 by either programs in the test-directory or via internal library
4699 + adjust include-options in CF_ETIP_DEFINES to avoid missing
4700 ncurses_dll.h, fixing special definitions that may be needed for
4701 etip.h (reported by Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>).
4704 + minor fixes for cardfile.c, to make it write the updated fields to
4705 a file when ^W is given.
4706 + add/use _nc_trace_bufcat() to eliminate some fixed buffer limits in
4710 + correct a case in _nc_remove_string(), used by define_key(), to avoid
4711 infinite loop if the given string happens to be a substring of other
4712 strings which are assigned to keys (report by John McCutchan).
4713 + add key_defined() function, to tell which keycode a string is bound
4714 to (discussion with John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org>).
4715 + correct keybound(), which reported definitions in the wrong table,
4716 i.e., the list of definitions which are disabled by keyok().
4717 + modify demo_keydef.c to show the details it changes, and to check
4721 + restructured test/configure script, make it work for libncursesw.
4722 + add description of link_fieldtype() to manpage (report by
4723 L Dee Holtsclaw <dee@sunbeltsoft.com>).
4726 + corrected ifdef's relating to configure check for wchar_t, etc.
4727 + if the output is a socket or other non-tty device, use 1 millisecond
4728 for the cost in mvcur; previously it was 9 milliseconds because the
4729 baudrate was not known.
4730 + in _nc_get_tty_mode(), initialize the TTY buffer on error, since
4731 glibc copies uninitialized data in that case, as noted by valgrind.
4732 + modify tput to use the same parameter analysis as tparm() does, to
4733 provide for user-defined strings, e.g., for xterm title, a
4734 corresponding capability might be
4736 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid passing "#" tokens through the C
4737 preprocessor. This works around Mac OS X's preprocessor, which
4738 insists on adding a blank on each side of the token (report/analysis
4739 by Kevin Murphy <murphy@genome.chop.edu>).
4742 + add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely
4743 on preprocessor definitions. Also work around for gcc fixinclude
4744 bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols
4745 apparently typedef'd.
4746 + if database is disabled, do not generate run_tic.sh
4747 + minor fixes for memory-leak checking when termcap is read.
4750 + add checking in tic for incomplete line-drawing character mapping.
4751 + updated configure script to reflect fix for AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL,
4752 which is broken in autoconf 2.5x for Mac OS X 10.2.3 (report by
4753 Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl>).
4754 + make return value from _nc_printf_string() consistent. Before,
4755 depending on whether --enable-safe-sprintf was used, it might not be
4756 cached for reallocating.
4759 + minor fixes for memory-leak checking in lib_tparm.c, hardscroll.c
4760 + correct a potentially-uninitialized value if _read_termtype() does
4761 not read as much data as expected (report by Wolfgang Rohdewald
4763 + correct several places where the aclocal.m4 macros relied on cache
4764 variable names which were incompatible (as usual) between autoconf
4765 2.13 and 2.5x, causing the test for broken-linker to give incorrect
4766 results (reports by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl> and Thomas Esser
4767 <te@dbs.uni-hannover.de>).
4768 + do not try to open gpm mouse driver if standard output is not a tty;
4769 the gpm library does not make this check (bug report for dialog
4770 by David Oliveira <davidoliveira@develop.prozone.ws>).
4773 + modified emx.src to correspond more closely to terminfo.src, added
4774 emx-base to the latter -TD
4775 + add configure option for FreeBSD sysmouse, --with-sysmouse, and
4776 implement support for that in lib_mouse.c, lib_getch.c
4779 + revert 20030105 change to can_clear_with(), does not work for the
4780 case where the update is made on cells which are blanks with
4781 attributes, e.g., reverse.
4782 + improve ifdef's to guard against redefinition of wchar_t and wint_t
4783 in curses.h (report by Urs Jansen).
4786 + improve mvcur() by checking if it is safe to move when video
4787 attributes are set (msgr), and if not, reset/restore attributes
4788 within that function rather than doing it separately in the GoTo()
4789 function in tty_update.c (suggested by Philippe Blain).
4790 + add a message in run_tic.in to explain more clearly what does not
4791 work when attempting to create a symbolic link for /usr/lib/terminfo
4792 on OS/2 and other platforms with no symbolic links (report by John
4794 + change several sed scripts to avoid using "\+" since it is not a BRE
4795 (basic regular expression). One instance caused terminfo.5 to be
4796 misformatted on FreeBSD (report by Kazuo Horikawa
4797 <horikawa@FreeBSD.org> (see FreeBSD docs/46709)).
4798 + correct misspelled 'wint_t' in curs_get_wch.3x (Michael Elkins).
4801 + improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic
4802 variables (comments by Mark I Manning IV <mark4th@earthlink.net>).
4803 + demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to
4804 use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a
4805 specialized type for the middle initial/name.
4806 + fix MKterminfo.sh, another workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature
4808 > patch by Philippe Blain:
4809 + optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter
4810 is indeed a "blank".
4811 + simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear
4812 sections as small as one line.
4813 + improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying
4815 + use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since
4816 the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines
4817 affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region.
4820 + rewrite of lib_acs.c conflicts with copying of SCREEN acs_map to/from
4821 global acs_map[] array; removed the lines that did the copying.
4824 + change some overlooked tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp()
4825 (report by Philippe Blain).
4826 + modify lib_getch.c to avoid recursion via wgetnstr() when the input
4827 is not a tty and consequently mode-changes do not work (report by
4828 <R.Chamberlin@querix.com>).
4829 + rewrote lib_acs.c to allow PutAttrChar() to decide how to render
4830 alternate-characters, i.e., to work with Linux console and UTF-8
4832 + correct line/column reference in adjust_window(), needed to make
4833 special windows such as curscr track properly when resizing (report
4834 by Lucas Gonze <lgonze@panix.com>).
4835 > patch by Philippe Blain:
4836 + correct the value used for blank in ClrBottom() (broken in 20000708).
4837 + correct an off-by-one in GoTo() parameter in _nc_scrolln().
4840 + change several tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp(), to
4841 enable padding which may be needed for some terminals (patch by
4843 + use '%' as sed substitute delimiter in run_tic script to avoid
4844 problems with pathname delimiters such as ':' and '@' (report by John
4846 + implement a workaround so that line-drawing works with screen's
4847 crippled UTF-8 support (tested with 3.9.13). This only works with
4848 the wide-character support (--enable-widec); the normal library will
4849 simply suppress line-drawing when running in a UTF-8 locale in screen.
4852 + allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
4853 overridden from the environment.
4854 + make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with
4855 the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki).
4856 + modify ncurses/modules to allow
4857 configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs
4858 to build (report by Gary Samuelson).
4859 + fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by
4860 Gary Samuelson <gary.samuelson@verizon.com>).
4861 + correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which
4862 force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report
4863 by Sam Varshavchik).
4864 + small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which
4865 gnatmake adds to its version-message.
4866 > Maciej W Rozycki <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>:
4867 + use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross
4869 + use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
4870 comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
4871 traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.
4872 + change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host"
4873 when referring to the --with-build-XXX options.
4876 + modify CF_GNAT_VERSION to print gnatmake's version, and to allow for
4877 possible gnat versions such as 3.2 (report by Chris Lingard
4878 <chris@stockwith.co.uk>).
4879 + modify #define's for CKILL and other default control characters in
4880 tset to use the system's default values if they are defined.
4881 + correct interchanged defaults for kill and interrupt characters
4882 in tset, which caused it to report unnecessarily (Debian #171583).
4883 + repair check for missing C++ compiler, which is broken in autoconf
4884 2.5x by hardcoding it to g++ (report by Martin Mokrejs).
4885 + update config.guess, config.sub (2002-11-30)
4886 + modify configure script to skip --with-shared, etc., when the
4887 --with-libtool option is given, since they would be ignored anyway.
4888 + fix to allow "configure --with-libtool --with-termlib" to build.
4889 + modify configure script to show version number of libtool, to help
4890 with bug reports. libtool still gets confused if the installed
4891 ncurses libraries are old, since it ignores the -L options at some
4892 point (tested with libtool 1.3.3 and 1.4.3).
4893 + reorder configure script's updating of $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to
4894 prevent -I options in the user's environment from introducing
4895 conflicts with the build -I options (may be related to reports by
4896 Patrick Ash and George Goffe).
4897 + rename test/define_key.c to test/demo_defkey.c, test/keyok.c to
4898 test/demo_keyok.c to allow building these with libtool.
4901 + add example program test/define_key.c for define_key().
4902 + add example program test/keyok.c for keyok().
4903 + add example program test/ins_wide.c for wins_wch() and wins_wstr().
4904 + modify wins_wch() and wins_wstr() to interpret tabs by using the
4905 winsch() internal function.
4906 + modify setcchar() to allow for wchar_t input strings that have
4907 more than one spacing character.
4910 + fix a boundary check in lib_insch.c (patch by Philippe Blain).
4911 + change type for *printw functions from NCURSES_CONST to const
4912 (prompted by comment by Pedro Palhoto Matos <plpm@mega.ist.utl.pt>,
4913 but really from a note on X/Open's website stating that either is
4914 acceptable, and the latter will be used in a future revision).
4915 + add xterm-1002, xterm-1003 terminfo entries to demonstrate changes in
4916 lib_mouse.c (20021026) -TD
4917 + add screen-bce, screen-s entries from screen 3.9.13 (report by
4918 Adam Lazur <zal@debian.org>) -TD
4919 + add mterm terminfo entries -TD
4922 + split-out useful fragments in terminfo for vt100 and vt220 numeric
4923 keypad, i.e., vt100+keypad, vt100+pfkeys, vt100+fnkeys and
4924 vt220+keypad. The last as embedded in various entries had ka3 and
4925 kb2 interchanged (report/discussion with Leonard den Ottolander
4926 <leonardjo@hetnet.nl>).
4927 + add check in tic for keypads consistent with vt100 layout.
4928 + improve checks in tic for color capabilities
4931 + check for missing/empty/illegal terminfo name in _nc_read_entry()
4932 (report by Martin Mokrejs, where $TERM was set to an empty string).
4933 + rewrote lib_insch.c, combining it with lib_insstr.c so both handle
4934 tab and other control characters consistently (report by Philippe
4936 + remove an #undef for KEY_EVENT from curses.tail used in the
4937 experimental NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS feature. The #undef confuses
4938 dpkg's build script (Debian #165897).
4939 + fix MKlib_gen.sh, working around the ironically named POSIXLY_CORRECT
4940 feature of GNU sed 4.0 (reported by Ervin Nemeth <airwin@inf.bme.hu>).
4943 + implement logic in lib_mouse.c to handle position reports which are
4944 generated when XFree86 xterm is initialized with private modes 1002
4945 or 1003. These are returned to the application as the
4946 REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION mask, which was not implemented. Tested both
4947 with ncurses 'a' menu (prompted by discussion with Larry Riedel
4948 <Larry@Riedel.org>).
4949 + modify lib_mouse.c to look for "XM" terminfo string, which allows
4950 one to override the escape sequence used to enable/disable mouse
4951 mode. In particular this works for XFree86 xterm private modes
4952 1002 and 1003. If "XM" is missing (note that this is an extended
4953 name), lib_mouse uses the conventional private mode 1000.
4954 + correct NOT_LOCAL() macro in lib_mvcur.c to refer to screen_columns
4955 where it used screen_lines (report by Philippe Blain).
4956 + correct makefile rules for the case when both --with-libtool and
4957 --with-gpm are given (report by Mr E_T <troll@logi.net.au>).
4958 + add note to terminfo manpage regarding the differences between
4959 setaf/setab and setf/setb capabilities (report by Pavel Roskin).
4962 + remove redundant initialization of TABSIZE in newterm(), since it is
4963 already done in setupterm() (report by Philippe Blain).
4964 + add test/inserts.c, to test winnstr() and winsch().
4965 + replace 'sort' in dist.mk with script that sets locale to POSIX.
4966 + update URLs in announce.html.in (patch by Frederic L W Meunier).
4967 + remove glibc add-on files, which are no longer needed (report by
4968 Frederic L W Meunier).
4970 20021012 5.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
4971 + modify ifdef's in etip.h.in to allow the etip.h header to compile
4972 with gcc 3.2 (patch by Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy@is-vn.bg>).
4973 + add logic to setupterm() to make it like initscr() and newterm(),
4974 by checking for $NCURSES_TRACE environment variable and enabling
4975 the debug trace in that case.
4976 + modify setupterm() to ensure that it initializes the baudrate, for
4977 applications such as tput (report by Frank Henigman).
4978 + modify definition of bits used for command-line and library debug
4979 traces to avoid overlap, using new definition TRACE_SHIFT to relate
4981 + document tput's interpretation of parameterized strings according to
4982 whether parameters are given, etc. (discussion with Robert De Bath).
4984 20021005 pre-release
4985 + correct winnwstr() to account for non-character cells generated when
4986 a double-width character is added (report by Michael Bienia
4987 <michael@vorlon.ping.de>).
4988 + modify _nc_viswbuf2n() to provide better results using wctomb().
4989 + correct logic in _nc_varargs() which broke tracing of parameters for
4990 formats such as "%.*s".
4991 + correct scale factor in linux-c and linux-c-nc terminfo entries
4992 (report Floyd Davidson).
4993 + change tic -A option to -t, add the same option to infocmp for
4995 + correct "%c" implementation in lib_tparm.c, which did not map a null
4996 character to a 128 (cf: 980620) (patch by Frank Henigman
4997 <fjhenigman@mud.cgl.uwaterloo.ca>).
4999 20020928 pre-release
5000 + modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for POSIX sort -k option, use that if
5001 it is found, to accommodate newer utility which dropped the
5002 compatibility support for +number options (reported by Andrey A
5004 + modify linux terminfo entry to use color palette feature from
5005 linux-c-nc entry (comments by Tomasz Wasiak and Floyd Davidson).
5006 + restore original color definitions in endwin() if init_color() was
5007 used, and resume those colors on the next doupdate() or refresh()
5008 (report by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@komputom.com.pl>).
5009 + improve debug-traces by modifying MKlib_gen.sh to generate calls
5010 to returnBool() and returnAttr().
5011 + add/use _nc_visbufn() and _nc_viswbufn() to limit the debug trace
5012 of waddnstr() and similar functions to match the parameters as used.
5013 + add/use _nc_retrace_bool() and _nc_retrace_unsigned().
5014 + correct type used by _nc_retrace_chtype().
5015 + add debug traces to some functions in lib_mouse.c
5016 + modify lib_addch.c to handle non-spacing characters.
5017 + correct parameter of RemAttr() in lib_bkgd.c, which caused the c++
5018 demo's boxes to lose the A_ALTCHARSET flag (broken in 20020629).
5019 + correct width computed in _tracedump(), which did not account for
5020 the attributes (broken in 20010602).
5021 + modify test/tracemunch to replace addresses for windows other than
5022 curscr, newscr and stdscr with window0, window1, etc.
5024 20020921 pre-release
5025 + redid fix for edit_man.sed path.
5026 + workaround for Cygwin bug which makes subprocess writes to stdout
5027 result in core dump.
5028 + documented getbegx(), etc.
5029 + minor fixes to configure script to use '%' consistently as a sed
5030 delimiter rather than '@'.
5031 > patch by Philippe Blain:
5032 + add check in lib_overlay.c to ensure that the windows to be merged
5033 actually overlap, and in copywin(), limit the area to be touched
5034 to the lines given for the destination window.
5036 20020914 pre-release
5037 + modified curses.h so that if the wide-character version is installed
5038 overwriting /usr/include/curses.h, and if it relied on libutf8.h,
5039 then applications that use that header for wide-character support
5040 must define HAVE_LIBUTF8_H.
5041 + modify putwin(), getwin() and dupwin() to allow them to operate on
5042 pads (request by Philippe Blain).
5043 + correct attribute-merging in wborder(), broken in 20020216 (report
5044 by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@grubasek.komputom.com.pl>).
5045 > patch by Philippe Blain:
5046 + corrected pop-counts in tparam_internal() to '!' and '~' cases.
5047 + use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in one place that used sizeof(chtype).
5048 + remove some unused variables from mvcur test-driver.
5050 20020907 pre-release
5051 + change configure script to allow install of widec-character
5052 (ncursesw) headers to overwrite normal (ncurses) headers, since the
5053 latter is a compatible subset of the former.
5054 + fix path of edit_man.sed in configure script, needed to regenerate
5055 html manpages on Debian.
5056 + fix mismatched enums in vsscanf.c, which caused warning on Solaris.
5057 + update README.emx to reflect current patch used for autoconf.
5058 + change web- and ftp-site to invisible-island.net
5059 > patch by Philippe Blain:
5060 + change case for 'P' in tparam_internal() to indicate that it pops
5061 a variable from the stack.
5062 + correct sense of precision and width in parse_format(), to avoid
5064 + modify lib_tparm.c, absorb really_get_space() into get_space().
5065 + modify getwin() and dupwin() to copy the _notimeout, _idlok and
5066 _idcok window fields.
5067 + better fix for _nc_set_type(), using typeMalloc().
5069 20020901 pre-release
5070 + change minor version to 3, i.e., ncurses 5.3
5071 + update config.guess, config.sub
5072 + retest build with each configure option; minor ifdef fixes.
5073 + make keyname() return a null pointer rather than "UNKNOWN STRING" to
5075 + modify handling of wide line-drawing character functions to use the
5076 normal line-drawing characters when not in UTF-8 locale.
5077 + add check/fix to comp_parse.c to suppress warning about missing acsc
5078 string. This happens in configurations where raw termcap information
5079 is processed; tic already does this and other checks.
5080 + modify tic's check for ich/ich1 versus rmir/smir to only warn about
5081 ich1, to match xterm patch #70 notes.
5082 + moved information for ripped-off lines into SCREEN struct to allow
5083 use in resizeterm().
5084 + add experimental wgetch_events(), ifdef'd with NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
5085 (adapted from patch by Ilya Zakharevich - see ncurses/README.IZ).
5086 + amend check in kgetch() from 20020824 to look only for function-keys,
5087 otherwise escape sequences are not resolved properly.
5088 > patch by Philippe Blain:
5089 + removed redundant assignment to SP->_checkfd from newterm().
5090 + check return-value of setupterm() in restartterm().
5091 + use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in a few places that used sizeof(chtype).
5092 + prevent dupwin() from duplicating a pad.
5093 + prevent putwin() from writing a pad.
5094 + use typeRealloc() or typeMalloc() in preference to direct calls on
5098 + add a check in kgetch() for cooked characters in the fifo to avoid
5099 calling fifo_push() when a KEY_RESIZE is available (report/analysis
5100 by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>).
5101 + fix an overlooked case for Redhat #68199 (Philippe Blain).
5102 + ensure clearerr() is called before using ferror() e.g., in
5103 lib_screen.c (report by Philippe Blain).
5106 + modify lib_screen.c and lib_newwin.c to maintain the SCREEN-specific
5107 pointers for curscr/stdscr/newscr when scr_save() and scr_restore()
5108 modify the global curscr/stdscr/newscr variables. Fixes Redhat
5109 #68199 dated 2002-07-07.
5110 + add checks for null pointer in calls to tparm() and tgoto() based on
5111 FreeBSD bug report. If ncurses were built with termcap support, and
5112 the first call to tgoto() were a zero-length string, the result would
5113 be a null pointer, which was not handled properly.
5114 + correct a typo in terminfo.head, which gave the octal code for colon
5116 + remove the "tic -u" option from 20020810, since it did not account
5117 for nested "tc=" clauses, and when that was addressed, was still
5121 + add tic -A option to suppress capabilities which are commented out
5122 when translating to termcap.
5123 + add tic -u option to provide older behavior of "tc=" clauses.
5124 + modified tic to expand all but the final "tc=" clause in a termcap
5125 entry, to accommodate termcap libraries which do not handle multiple
5127 + correct typo in curs_inopts.3x regarding CS8/CS7 usage (report by
5129 + remove a couple of redundant uses of A_ATTRIBUTES in expressions
5130 using AttrOf(), which already incorporates that mask (report by
5132 + document TABSIZE variable.
5133 + add NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS environment variable, to allow users to
5134 override compiled-in default black-on-white assumption used in
5135 assume_default_colors().
5136 + correct an off-by-one comparison against max_colors in COLORFGBG
5138 + correct a use of uninitialized memory found by valgrind (reported by
5139 Olaf Buddenhagen <olafBuddenhagen@web.de>).
5140 + modified wresize() to ensure that a failed realloc will not corrupt
5141 the window structure, and to make subwindows fit within the resized
5142 window (completes Debian #87678, Debian #101699)
5145 + fix an off-by-one in lib_pad.c check for limits of pad (patch by
5147 + revise logic for BeOS in lib_twait.c altered in 20011013 to restore
5148 logic used by lib_getch.c's support for GPM or EMX mouse (report by
5150 + remove NCURSES_CONST from several prototypes in curses.wide, to make
5151 the --enable-const --enable-widec configure options to work together
5152 (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@yahoo.com>).
5155 + finish no-leak checking in cardfile.c, using this for testing changes
5157 + simplify _nc_freeall() using delscreen().
5160 + check error-return from _nc_set_tty_mode() in _nc_initscr() and
5161 reset_prog_mode() (report/patch by Philippe Blain).
5162 + regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52, to address
5163 problem with identifying C++ bool type.
5164 + correct/improve logic to produce an exit status for errors in tput,
5165 which did not exit with an error when told to put a string not in the
5166 current terminfo entry (report by David Gomez <david@pleyades.net>).
5167 + modify configure script AC_OUTPUT() call to work around defect in
5168 autoconf 2.52 which adds an ifdef'd include to the generated
5169 configure definitions.
5170 + remove fstat() check from scr_init(), which also fixes a missing
5171 include for <sys/stat.h> from 20020713 (reported by David Ellement,
5172 fix suggested by Philippe Blain).
5173 + update curs_scanw.3x manpage to note that XSI curses differs from
5174 SVr4 curses: return-values are incompatible.
5175 + correct several prototypes in manpages which used const
5176 inconsistently with the curses.h file, and removed spurious const's
5177 in a few places from curses.h, e.g., for wbkgd() (report by Glenn
5178 Maynard <glenn@zewt.org>).
5179 + change internal type used by tparm() to long, to work with LP64 model.
5180 + modify nc_alloc.h to allow building with g++, for testing.
5183 + add resize-handling to cardfile.c test program.
5184 + altered resizeterm() to avoid having it fail when a child window
5185 cannot be resized because it would be larger than its parent. (More
5186 work must be done on this, but it works well enough to integrate).
5187 + improve a limit-check in lib_refresh.c
5188 + remove check in lib_screen.c relating dumptime to file's modification
5189 times, since that would not necessarily work for remotely mounted
5191 + modify lrtest to simplify debugging changes to resizeterm, e.g.,
5192 t/T commands to enable/disable tracing.
5193 + updated status of multibyte support in TO-DO.
5194 + update contact info in source-files (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
5197 + add Caps.hpux11, as an example.
5198 + modify version_filter(), used to implement -R option for tic and
5199 infocmp, to use computed array offsets based on the Caps.* file which
5200 is actually configured, rather than constants which correspond to
5202 + reorganized lib_raw.c to avoid updating SP and cur_term state if the
5203 functions fail (reported by Philippe Blain).
5204 + add -Wundef to gcc warnings, adjust a few ifdef's to accommodate gcc.
5207 + correct parameters to setcchar() in ncurses.c (cf: 20020406).
5208 + set locale in most test programs (view.c and ncurses.c were the
5210 + add configure option --with-build-cppflags (report by Maksim A
5211 Nikulin <M.A.Nikulin@inp.nsk.su>).
5212 + correct a typo in wide-character logic for lib_bkgnd.c (Philippe
5214 + modify lib_wacs.c to not cancel the acsc, smacs, rmacs strings when
5215 in UTF-8 locale. Wide-character functions use Unicode values, while
5216 narrow-character functions use the terminfo data.
5217 + fix a couple of places in Ada95/samples which did not compile with
5219 + modify mkinstalldirs so the DOS-pathname case is locale-independent.
5220 + fix locale problem in MKlib_gen.sh by forcing related variables to
5221 POSIX (C), using same approach as autoconf (set variables only if
5222 they were set before). Update MKterminfo.sh and MKtermsort.sh to
5226 + add charset to generated html.
5227 + add mvterm entry, adapted from a FreeBSD bug-report by Daniel Rudy
5228 <dcrudy@pacbell.net> -TD
5229 + add rxvt-16color, ibm+16color entries -TD
5230 + modify check in --disable-overwrite option so that it is used by
5231 default unless the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr, in attempt to
5232 work around packagers, e.g., for Sun's freeware, who do not read the
5236 + modify wgetch() to allow returning ungetch'd KEY_RESIZE as a function
5237 key code in get_wch().
5238 + extended resize-handling in test/ncurses 'a' menu to the entire
5239 stack of windows created with 'w' commands.
5240 + improve $COLORFGBG feature by interpreting an out-of-range color
5241 value as an SGR 39 or 49, for foreground/background respectively.
5242 + correct a typo in configure --enable-colorfgbg option, and move it
5243 to the experimental section (cf: 20011208).
5246 + add logic to dump_entry.c to remove function-key definitions that do
5247 not fit into the 1023-byte limit for generated termcaps. This makes
5249 + more improvements to tic's warnings, including logic to ignore
5250 differences between delay values in sgr strings.
5251 + move definition of KEY_RESIZE into MKkeydefs.sh script, to
5252 accommodate Caps.osf1r5 which introduced a conflicting definition.
5255 + add simple resize-handling in test/ncurses.c 'a' menu.
5256 + fixes in keyname() and _tracechar() to handle negative values.
5257 + make tic's warnings about mismatches in sgr strings easier to follow.
5258 + correct tic checks for number of parameters in smgbp and smglp.
5259 + improve scoansi terminfo entry, and add scoansi-new entry -TD
5260 + add pcvt25-color terminfo entry -TD
5261 + add kf13-kf48 strings to cons25w terminfo entry (reported by Stephen
5262 Hurd <deuce@lordlegacy.org> in newsgroup lucky.freebsd.bugs) -TD
5263 + add entrypoint _nc_trace_ttymode(), use this to distinguish the
5264 Ottyb and Nttyb members of terminal (aka cur_term), for tracing.
5267 + correct and simplify logic for lib_pad.c change in 20020518 (reported
5271 + fix lib_pad.c for case of drawing a double-width character which
5272 falls off the left margin of the pad (patch by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij
5273 <lerdsuwa@users.sourceforge.net>)
5274 + modify configure script to work around broken gcc 3.1 "--version"
5275 option, which adds unnecessary trash to the requested information.
5276 + adjust ifdef's in case SIGWINCH is not defined, e.g., with DJGPP
5277 (reported by Ben Decker <deckerben@freenet.de>).
5280 + implement vid_puts(), vid_attr(), term_attrs() based on the narrow-
5281 character versions as well.
5282 + implement erasewchar(), killwchar() based on erasechar() and
5284 + modify erasechar() and killchar() to return ERR if the value was
5286 + correct a bug in wresize() in handling subwindows (based on patch by
5287 Roger Gammans <rgammans@computer-surgery.co.uk>, report by Scott Beck
5288 <scott@gossamer-threads.com>).
5289 + improve test/tclock.c by making the second-hand update more often
5290 if gettimeofday() is available.
5293 + workaround for Solaris sed with MKlib_gen.sh (reported by Andy
5294 Tsouladze <andyt@mypoints.com>).
5297 + correct return-value from getcchar(), making it consistent with
5299 + reorder loops that generate makefile rules for different models vs
5300 subsets so configure --with-termlib works again. This was broken by
5301 logic added to avoid duplicate rules in changes to accommodate cygwin
5302 dll's (reported by George.R.Goffe@seagate.com).
5303 + update config.guess, config.sub
5306 + modify ifdef's in write_entry.c to allow use of symbolic links on
5307 platforms with no hard links, e.g., BeOS.
5308 + modify a few includes to allow compile with BeOS, which has stdbool.h
5309 with a conflicting definition for 'bool' versus its OS.h definition.
5310 + amend MKlib_gen.sh to work with gawk, which defines 'func' as an
5311 alias for 'function'.
5314 + correct form of prototype for ripoffline().
5315 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to test that all functions marked as implemented
5319 + add manpages: curs_get_wstr.3x, curs_in_wchstr.3x
5320 + implement wgetn_wstr().
5321 + implement win_wchnstr().
5322 + remove redefinition of unget_wch() in lib_gen.c (reported by
5323 Jungshik Shin <jshin@jtan.com>).
5326 + modified several of the test programs to allow them to compile with
5327 vendor curses implementations, e.g., Solaris, AIX -TD
5330 + modified test/configure to allow configuring against ncursesw.
5331 + change WACS_xxx definition to use address, to work like Tru64 curses.
5334 + add 'e' and 'm' toggles to 'a', 'A' tests in ncurses.c to demonstrate
5335 effect of echo/noecho and meta modes.
5336 + add 'A' test to ncurses.c to demonstrate wget_wch() and related
5338 + add manpage: curs_get_wch.3x
5339 + implement unget_wch().
5340 + implement wget_wch().
5343 + regenerated html manpages.
5344 + add manpages: curs_in_wch.3x, curs_ins_wch.3x, curs_ins_wstr.3x
5345 + implement wins_wch().
5346 + implement win_wch().
5347 + implement wins_nwstr(), wins_wstr().
5350 + add manpages: curs_addwstr.3x, curs_winwstr.3x
5351 + implement winnwstr(), winwstr().
5354 + add manpages: curs_add_wchstr.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x
5355 + document wunctrl, key_name.
5356 + implement key_name().
5357 + remove const's in lib_box.c incorrectly leftover after splitting off
5359 + update llib-lncurses, llib-ncursesw, fix configure script related to
5363 + remove quotes on "SYNOPSIS" in man/curs_box_set.3x, which resulted
5364 in spurious symlinks on install.
5367 + implement whline_set(), wvline_set(), add manpage curs_border_set.
5368 + add subtest 'b' to 'F' and 'f' in ncurses.c to demonstrate use of
5369 box() and box_set() functions.
5370 + add subtest 'u' to 'F' in ncurses.c, to demonstrate use of addstr()
5371 given UTF-8 string equivalents of WACS_xxx symbols.
5372 + minor fixes to several manpages based on groff -ww output.
5373 + add descriptions of external variables of termcap interface to
5374 the manpage (report by Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au>).
5375 > patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
5376 + correct configure option --with-bool, which was executed as
5378 + add quotes for parameters of --with-bool and --with-ospeed configure
5380 > patch by Sven Verdoolaege (report by Gerhard Haering
5381 <haering_linux@gmx.de>):
5382 + correct typos in definitions of several wide-character macros:
5383 waddwstr, wgetbkgrnd, mvaddwstr, mvwadd_wchnstr, mvwadd_wchnstr,
5385 + pass $(CPPFLAGS) to MKlib_gen.sh, thereby fixing a missing definition
5386 of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, e.g., on Solaris
5389 + implement wide-acs characters for UTF-8 locales. When in UTF-8
5390 locale, ignore narrow version of acs. Add 'F' test to test/ncurses.c
5392 + correct prototype in keybound manpage (noted from a Debian mailing
5396 + add several cases to the wscanw() example in testcurs.c, showing the
5398 + implement a simple vsscanf() fallback function which uses the %n
5399 conversion to help parse the input data (prompted by discussion with
5400 Albert Chin-A-Young).
5401 + modify mk-1st.awk and test/Makefile.in to add $(LDFLAGS) when making
5402 shared libraries, and to use $(CFLAGS) when linking test programs
5403 (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
5404 + add a call to _nc_keypad() in keypad() to accommodate applications
5405 such as nvi, which use curses for output but not for input (fixes
5406 Debian #131263, cf: 20011215).
5407 + add entrypoints to resizeterm.c which provide better control over the
5408 process: is_term_resized() and resize_term(). The latter restores
5409 the original design of resizeterm() before KEY_RESIZE was added in
5410 970906. Do this to accommodate 20010922 changes to view.c, but allow
5411 for programs with their own sigwinch handler, such as lynx (reported
5412 by Russell Ruby <russ@math.orst.edu>).
5415 + fix a typo in change to mk-1st.awk, which broke the shared-library
5416 makefile rules (reported by Martin Mokrejs).
5419 + update config.guess, config.sub
5420 + finish changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
5421 + fix a typo in mvwchat() macro (reported by Cy <yam@homerow.net).
5424 + add case in lib_baudrate.c for B921600 (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
5425 + correct missing sed-editing stage in manpage installs which is used
5426 to rename manpages, broken in 20010324 fix for Debian #89939 (Debian
5428 + remove -L$(libdir) from linker flags, probably not needed any more
5429 since HPUX is handled properly (reported by Niibe Yutaka
5431 + add configure check for mbstate_t, needed for wide-character
5432 configuration. On some platforms we must include <wchar.h> to
5433 define this (reported by Daniel Jacobowitz).
5434 + incorporate some of the changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
5437 + workaround for awk did not work with mawk, adjusted shell script.
5440 + add Caps.osf1r5, as an example.
5441 + modify behavior of can_clear_with() so that if an application is
5442 running in a non-bce terminals with default colors enabled, it
5443 returns true, allowing the user to select/paste text without picking
5444 up extraneous trailing blanks (adapted from patch by Daniel
5445 Jacobowitz <dmj+@andrew.cmu.edu>).
5446 + modify generated curses.h to ifdef-out prototypes for extensions if
5447 they are disabled, and to define curses_version() as a string in that
5448 case. This is needed to make the programs such as tic build in that
5450 + modified generated headers.sh to remove a gzip'd version of the
5451 target file if it exists, in case non-gzip'd manpages are installed
5452 into a directory where gzip'd ones exist. In that case, the latter
5454 + corrected a redundant initialization of signal handlers from 20010922
5456 + clarified bug-reporting address in terminfo.src (report by John H
5457 DuBois III <spcecdt@armory.com>).
5458 > several fixes from Robert Joop:
5459 + do not use "-v" option of awk in MKkey_defs.sh because it does not
5460 work with SunOS nawk.
5461 + modify definitions for libutf8 in curses.h to avoid redefinition
5463 + quoted references to compiler in shell command in misc/Makefile, in
5464 case it uses multiple tokens.
5467 + restore special case from 20010922 changes to omit SA_RESTART when
5468 setting up SIGWINCH handler, which is needed to allow wgetch() to be
5469 interrupted by that signal.
5470 + updated configure macro CF_WITH_PATHLIST, to omit some double quotes
5471 not needed with autoconf 2.52
5472 + revert configure script to autoconf 2.13 patched with
5473 autoconf-2.13-19990117.patch.gz (or later)
5475 ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
5476 because autoconf 2.52 macro AC_PROG_AWK does not work on HPUX 11.0
5477 (report by David Ellement <ellement@sdd.hp.com>). This also fixes a
5478 different problem configuring with Mac OS X (reported by Marc Smith
5479 <marc.a.smith@home.com>).
5482 + modify include/edit_cfg.h to eliminate BROKEN_LINKER symbol from
5484 + move prototype for _nc_vsscanf() into curses.h.in to omit
5485 HAVE_VSSCANF symbol from curses.h, which was dependent upon the
5486 ncurses_cfg.h file which is not installed.
5487 + use ACS_LEN rather than SIZEOF(acs_map) in trace code of lib_acs.c,
5488 to work with broken linker configuration, e.g., cygwin (report by
5489 Robert Joop <rj@rainbow.in-berlin.de>).
5490 + make napms() call _nc_timed_wait() rather than poll() or select(),
5491 to work around broken implementations of these on cygwin.
5494 + drop configure macro CF_WIDEC_SHIFT, since that was rendered obsolete
5495 by Sven Verdoolaege's rewrite of wide-character support. This makes
5496 libncursesw incompatible again, but makes the header files almost the
5497 same as in the narrow-character configuration.
5498 + simplify definitions that combine wide/narrow versions of bkgd, etc.,
5499 to eliminate differences between the wide/narrow versions of curses.h
5500 + correct typo in configure macro CF_FUNC_VSSCANF
5501 + correct location of call to _nc_keypad() from 20011215 changes which
5502 prevented keypad() from being disabled (reported by Lars Hecking).
5505 + rewrote ncurses 'a' test to exercise wgetch() and keypad() functions
5506 better, e.g., by adding a 'w' command to create new windows which
5507 may have different keypad() settings.
5508 + corrected logic of keypad() by adding internal screen state to track
5509 whether the terminal's keypad-mode has been set. Use this in
5510 wgetch() to update the keypad-mode according to whether the
5511 associated window's keypad-mode has been set with keypad(). This
5512 corrects a related problem restoring terminal state after handling
5513 SIGTSTP (reported by Mike Castle).
5514 + regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52
5515 autoconf-2.52-patch.gz
5517 ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
5518 + update config.guess, config.sub from
5519 http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
5520 + minor changes to quoting in configure script to allow it to work
5524 + modify final checks in lib_setup.c for line and col values, making
5526 + modify acs_map[] if configure --broken-linker is specified, to make
5527 it use a function rather than an array (prompted by an incorrect
5528 implementation in cygwin package).
5529 + correct spelling of configure option --enable-colorfgbg, which
5530 happened to work if --with-develop was set (noted in cygwin package
5532 + modify ifdef for genericerror() to compile with SUNWspro Sun WorkShop
5533 6 update 1 C++ 5.2 (patch by Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>).
5534 + add configure checks to see if ncurses' fallback vsscanf() will
5535 compile either of the special cases for FILE structs, and if not,
5536 force it to the case which simply returns an error (report by
5537 Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu> indicates that Solaris 8 with
5538 64-bits does not allow access to FILE's fields).
5539 + modify ifdef's for c++/cursesw.cc to use the fallback vsscanf() in
5540 the ncurses library if no better substitute for this can be found
5542 + modify the build to name dynamic libraries according to the
5543 convention used on OS X and Darwin. Rather than something like
5544 libncurses.dylib.5.2, Darwin would name it libncurses. 5.dylib.
5545 There are a few additional minor fixes, such as setting the library
5546 version and compatibility version numbers (patch by Jason Evans
5547 <jevans@apple.com>).
5548 + use 'sh' to run mkinstalldirs, to work around problems with buggy
5549 versions of 'make' on OS/2 (report by John Polterak <jp@eyup.org>).
5550 + correct typo in manpage description of curs_set() (Debian #121548).
5551 + replace the configure script existence-check for mkstemp() by one
5552 that checks if the function works, needed for older glibc and
5556 + modify script that generates fallbacks.c to compile a temporary
5557 copy of the terminfo source in case the host does not contain all of
5558 the entries requested for fallbacks (request by Greg Roelofs).
5559 + modify configure script to accommodate systems such as Mac OS X whose
5560 <stdbool.h> header defines a 'bool' type inconsistent with ncurses,
5561 which normally makes 'bool' consistent with C++. Include <stdbool.h>
5562 from curses.h to force consistent usage, define a new type
5563 NCURSES_BOOL and related that to the exported 'bool' as either a
5564 typedef or definition, according to whether <stdbool.h> is present
5565 (based on a bug report for tin 1.5.9 by Aaron Adams <adamsa@mac.com>).
5568 + added/updated terminfo entries for M$ telnet and KDE konsole -TD
5571 + updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
5572 (Benjamin C W Sittler).
5573 + add putty terminfo entry -TD
5574 + if configuring for wide-curses, define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, since
5575 this may not otherwise be defined to make test/view.c compile.
5578 + review/correct several missing/generated items in curses.wide, sorted
5579 the lists to make subsequent diff's easier to track.
5582 + add manual pages for add_wch(), echo_wchar(), getcchar(),
5583 mvadd_wch(), mvwadd_wch(), setcchar(), wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar().
5584 + implement wecho_wchar()
5585 + modify _tracedump() to handle wide-characters by mapping them to '?'
5586 and control-characters to '.', to make the trace file readable. Also
5587 dynamically allocate the buffer used by _tracedump() for formatting
5589 + modify T_CALLED/T_RETURN macros to ease balancing call/return lines
5590 in a trace by using curly braces.
5591 + implement _nc_viscbuf(), for tracing cchar_t arrays.
5592 + correct trace-calls in setcchar() and getcchar() functions, which
5593 traced the return values but not the entry to each function.
5594 + correct usage message in test/view.c, which still mentioned -u flag.
5597 + modify configure script to allow building with termcap only, or with
5598 fallbacks only. In this case, we do not build tic and toe.
5599 + add configure --with-termpath option, to override default TERMPATH
5600 value of /etc/termcap:/usr/share/misc/termcap.
5601 + cosmetic change to tack: make menu descriptions agree with menu
5605 + rewrote limit-checks in wscrl() and associated _nc_scroll_window(),
5606 to ensure that if the parameter of wscrl() is larger than the size of
5607 the scrolling region, then the scrolling region will be cleared
5608 (report by Ben Kohlen <bckohlen@yahoo.com>).
5609 + add trace/varargs.c, using this to trace parameters in lib_printw.c
5610 + implement _tracecchar_t2() and _tracecchar_t().
5611 + split-out trace/visbuf.c
5612 + correct typo in lib_printw.c changes from 20010922 (report by Mike
5616 + modify run_tic.sh to check if the build is a cross-compile. In that
5617 case, do not use the build's tic to install the terminfo database
5618 (report by Rafael Rodriguez Velilla <rrv@tid.es>).
5619 + modify mouse click resolution so that mouseinterval(-1) will disable
5620 it, e.g., to handle touchscreens via a slow connection (request by
5621 Byron Stanoszek <gandalf@winds.org>).
5622 + correct mouseinterval() default value shown in curs_mouse.3x
5623 + remove conflicting definition of mouse_trafo() (reported by Lars
5624 Hecking, using gcc 2.95.3).
5627 + simpler fix for signal_name(), to replace the one overlooked in
5628 20010929 (reported by Larry Virden).
5631 + add -i option to view.c, to test ncurses' check for non-default
5632 signal handler for SIGINT, etc.
5633 + add cases for shared-libraries on Darwin/OS X (patch by Rob Braun
5634 <bbraun@synack.net>).
5635 + modify tset to restore original I/O modes if an error is encountered.
5636 Also modify to use buffered stderr consistently rather than mixing
5638 + change signal_name() function to use if-then-else rather than case
5639 statement, since signal-values aren't really integers (reported by
5641 + add limit checks in wredrawln(), fixing a problem where lynx was
5642 repainting a pad which was much larger than the screen.
5645 + fix: PutRange() was counting the second part of a wide character as
5646 part of a run, resulting in a cursor position that was one too far
5647 (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
5648 + modify resizeterm() to not queue a KEY_RESIZE if there was no
5649 SIGWINCH, thereby separating the two styles of SIGWINCH handling
5651 + simplified lib_tstp.c, modify it to use SA_RESTART flag for SIGWINCH.
5652 + eliminate several static buffers in the terminfo compiler, using
5654 + modify MKkeyname.awk so that keyname() does not store its result into
5655 a static buffer that is overwritten by the next call.
5656 + reorganize the output of infocmp -E and -e options to compile cleanly
5657 with gcc -Wwrite-strings warnings.
5658 + remove redefinition of chgat/wchgat/mvwchgat from curses.wide
5661 + add label to test/view.c, showing the name of the last key or signal
5662 that made the screen repaint, to make it clearer when a sigwinch
5664 + use ExitProgram() consistently in the test-programs to make it
5665 simpler to test leaks with dmalloc, etc.
5666 + move hashtab static data out of hashmap.c into SCREEN struct.
5667 + make NO_LEAK code compile with revised WINDOWLIST structs.
5670 + modify tgetent() to check if exit_attribute_mode resets the alternate
5671 character set, and if so, attempt to adjust the copy of the termcap
5672 "me" string which it will return to eliminate that part. In
5673 particular, 'screen' would lose track of line-drawing characters
5674 (report by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>, analysis by
5678 + specify DOCTYPE in html manpages.
5679 + add missing macros for several "generated" functions: attr_get(),
5680 attr_off(), attr_on(), attr_set(), chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat() and
5682 + modify view.c to agree with non-experimental status of ncurses'
5684 + change the sense of the -r option, making it default to ncurses'
5686 + add a note explaining what functions are unsafe in a signal
5688 + add a -c option, to set color display, for testing.
5689 + unset $data variable in MKterminfo.sh script, to address potential
5690 infinite loop if shell malfunction (report by Samuel Mikes
5691 <smikes@cubane.com>, for bash 2.05.0 on a Linux 2.0.36 system).
5692 + change kbs in mach terminfo entries to ^? (Marcus Brinkmann
5693 <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>).
5694 + correct logic for COLORFGBG environment variable: if rxvt is compiled
5695 with xpm support, the variable has three fields, making it slightly
5696 incompatible with itself. In either case, the background color is
5700 + move calls to def_shell_mode() and def_prog_mode() before loop with
5701 callbacks in lib_set_term.c, since the c++ demo otherwise initialized
5702 the tty modes before saving them (patch by John David Anglin
5703 <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>).
5704 + duplicate logic used to initialize trace in newterm(), in initscr()
5705 to avoid confusing trace of initscr().
5706 + simplify allocation of WINDOW and WINDOWLIST structs by making the
5707 first a part of the second rather than storing a pointer. This saves
5708 a call to malloc for each window (discussion with Philippe Blain).
5709 + remove unused variable 'used_ncv' from lib_vidattr.c (Philippe
5711 + modify c++/Makefile.in to accommodate archive programs that are
5712 different for C++ than for C, and add cases for vendor's C++
5713 compilers on Solaris and IRIX (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
5714 + correct manpage description of criteria for deciding if the terminal
5715 supports xterm mouse controls.
5716 + add several configure script options to aid with cross-compiling:
5717 --with-build-cc, --with-build-cflags, --with-build-ldflags, and
5718 --with-build-libs (request by Greg Roelofs).
5719 + change criteria for deciding if configure is cross-compiling from
5720 host/build mismatch to host/target mismatch (request by Greg Roelofs
5721 <greg.roelofs@philips.com>).
5722 + correct logic for infocmp -e and -E options which writes the data for
5723 the ext_Names[] array. This is needed if one constructs a fallback
5724 table for a terminfo entry which uses extended termcap names, e.g.,
5725 AX in a color xterm.
5726 + fix undefined NCURSES_PATHSEP when configure --disable-database
5730 + fix for VALID_BOOLEAN() macro when char is not signed.
5731 + modify 'clean' rule for C++ binding to work with Sun compiler, which
5732 caches additional information in a subdirectory of the objects.
5733 + added llib-ncursesw.
5736 + add Caps.keys example for experimental extended function keys
5737 (adapted from a patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
5738 + correct parameter types of vidputs() and vidattr() to agree with
5739 header files (report by William P Setzer).
5740 + fix typos in several man-pages (patch by William P Setzer).
5741 + remove unneeded ifdef for __GNUG__ in CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC configure
5742 macro, which made ncurses C++ binding fail to build with other
5743 C++ compilers such as HPUX 11.x (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
5744 + workaround for bug in HPUX 11.x C compiler: add a blank after
5745 NCURSES_EXPORT macro in form.h (report by Albert Chin-A-Young)
5746 + ignore blank lines in Caps* files in MKkey_defs.sh script (report by
5747 Albert Chin-A-Young).
5748 + correct definition of key_end in Caps.aix4, which left KEY_END
5749 undefined (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
5750 + remove a QNX-specific fallback prototype for vsscanf(), which is
5751 obsolete with QNX RTP.
5752 + review/fix some of the T() and TR() macro calls, having noticed that
5753 there was no data for delwin() in a trace of dialog because there was
5754 no returnVoid call for wtimeout(). Also, traces in lib_twait.c are
5755 now selected under TRACE_IEVENT rather than TRACE_CALLS.
5758 + add a _nc_access() check before opening files listed via $TERMPATH.
5759 + using modified man2html, regenerate some of the html manpages to fix
5760 broken HREF's where the link was hyphenated.
5763 + add some limit/pointer checks to -S option of tputs.
5764 + updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
5765 (Benjamin C W Sittler).
5766 + add a note in curs_termcap.3x regarding a defect in the XSI
5767 description of tgetent (based on a discussion with Urs Jansen
5768 regarding the HPUX 11.x implementation, whose termcap interface is
5769 not compatible with existing termcap programs).
5770 + modify manhtml rule in dist.mk to preserve copyright notice on the
5771 generated files, as well as to address HTML style issues reported by
5772 tidy and weblint. Regenerated/updated corresponding html files.
5773 + comment out use of Protected_Character and related rarely used
5774 attributes in ncurses Ada95 test/demo to compile with wide-character
5778 + implement a simple example in C++ demo to test scanw().
5779 + corrected stdio function used to implement scanw() in cursesw.cc
5780 + correct definition of RemAttr() macro from 20010602 changes, which
5781 caused C++ SillyDemo to not show line-drawing characters.
5782 + modify C++ binding, adding getKey() which can be overridden by user
5783 to substitute functions other than getch() for keyboard processing
5784 of forms and menus (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
5787 + fix some of the trace calls which needed modification to work with
5788 new wide-character structures.
5789 + modify magic-cookie code in tty_update.c to compile with new
5790 wide-character structures (report by <George.R.Goffe@seagate.com>).
5791 + ensure that _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined in curses.priv.h if
5792 compiling for wide-character configuration.
5793 + make addwnstr() handle non-spacing characters (patch by Sven
5797 + add configure check to define _GNU_SOURCE, needed to prop up glibc
5799 + split-out include/curses.wide to solve spurious redefinitions caused
5800 by defining _GNU_SOURCE, and move includes for <signal.h> before
5801 <curses.h> to work around misdefinition of ERR in glibc 2.1.3 header
5803 + extended ospeed change to NetBSD and OpenBSD -TD
5804 + modify logic in lib_baudrate.c for ospeed, for FreeBSD to make it
5805 work properly for termcap applications (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
5808 + correct an overlooked CharOf/UChar instance (reports by Eugene Lee
5809 <eugene@anime.net>, Sven Verdoolaege).
5810 + correct unneeded ifdef for wunctrl() (reported by Sven Verdoolaege)
5813 + change overlooked several CharOf/UChar instances.
5814 > several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
5815 + correct a typo in wunctrl(), which made it appear that botwc() was
5816 needed (no such function: use btowc()).
5817 + reimplement wide-character demo in test/view.c, using new functions.
5818 + implement getcchar(), setcchar(), wadd_wchnstr() and related macros.
5819 + fix a syntax problem with do/if/while in PUTC macro (curses.priv.h).
5822 + add parentheses in macros for malloc in test.priv.h, fixes an
5823 expression in view.c (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.co.at>).
5824 + add Caps.uwin, as an example.
5825 + change the way curses.h is generated, making the list of function
5826 key definitions extracted from the Caps file.
5827 + add #undef's before possible redefinition of ERR and OK in curses.h
5828 + modify logic in tic, toe, tput and tset which checks for basename of
5829 argv[0] to work properly on systems such as OS/2 which have
5830 case-independent filenames and/or program suffixes, e.g., ".ext".
5833 + add a configure check, if --enable-widec is specified, for putwc(),
5834 which may be in libutf8.
5835 + remove some unnecessary text from curs_extend.3x and
5836 default_colors.3x which caused man-db to make incorrect symbolic
5837 links (Debian #99550).
5838 + add configure check if cast for _IO_va_list is needed to compile
5839 C++ vscan code (Debian #97945).
5840 > several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
5841 + correct code that used non-standard auto-initialization of a struct,
5842 which gcc allows (report by Larry Virden).
5843 + use putwc() in PUTC() macro.
5844 + make addstr() work for the special case where the codeset is
5845 non-stateful (eg. UTF-8), as well as stateful codesets.
5848 + correct loop expression in NEXT_CHAR macro for lib_addstr.c changes
5849 from 20010602 (report by Mike Castle).
5852 + modify mvcur() to avoid emitting newline characters when nonl() mode
5853 is set. Normally this is not a problem since the actual terminal
5854 mode is set to suppress nl/crlf translations, however it is useful to
5855 allow the caller to manipulate the terminal mode to avoid staircasing
5856 effects after spawning a process which writes messages (for lynx
5858 > several patches from Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org>:
5859 + remove redundant type-conversion in fifo_push()
5860 + correct definition of addwstr() macro in curses.h.in
5861 + remove _nc_utf8_outch()
5862 + rename most existing uses of CharOf() to UChar(), e.g., where it is
5863 used to prevent sign-extension in ctype macros.
5864 + change some chtype's to attr_t's where the corresponding variables
5865 are used to manipulate attributes.
5866 + UpdateAttr() was applied to both attributes (attr_t) and characters
5867 (chtype). Modify macro and calls to it to make these distinct.
5868 + add CharEq() macro, use in places where wide-character configuration
5869 implementation uses a struct for cchar_t.
5870 + moved struct ldat into curses.priv.h, to hide implementation details.
5871 + change CharOf() macro to use it for masking A_CHARTEXT data from
5873 + add L() macro to curses.priv.h, for long-character literals.
5874 + replace several assignments from struct ldat entries to chtype or
5875 char values with combinations of CharOf() and AttrOf() macros.
5876 + add/use intermediate ChAttrOf() and ChCharOf() macros where we know
5877 we are using chtype data.
5878 + add/use lowlevel attribute manipulation macros AddAttr(), RemAttr()
5880 + add/use SetChar() macro, to change a cchar_t based on a character and
5882 + convert most internal use of chtype to NCURSES_CH_T, to simplify use
5883 of cchar_t for wide-character configuration. Similarly, use ARG_CH_T
5884 where a pointer would be more useful.
5885 + add stubs for tracing cchar_t values.
5886 + add/use macro ISBLANK()
5887 + add/use constructors for cchar_t's: NewChar(), NewChar2().
5888 + add/use macros CHREF(), CHDEREF(), AttrOfD(), CharOfD() to facilitate
5889 passing cchar_t's by address.
5890 + add/use PUTC_DATA, PUTC() macros.
5891 + for wide-character configuration, move the window background data to
5892 the end of the WINDOW struct so that whether _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
5893 is defined or not, the offsets in the struct will not change.
5894 + modify addch() to work with wide-characters.
5895 + mark several wide-character functions as generated in curses.h.in
5896 + implement wunctrl(), wadd_wch(), wbkgrndset(), wbkgrnd(),
5897 wborder_set() and waddnwstr().
5900 + add experimental --with-caps=XXX option to customize to similar
5901 terminfo database formats such as AIX 4.x
5902 + add Caps.aix4 as an example.
5903 + modify Caps to add columns for the the KEY_xxx symbols.
5904 + modify configure --with-widec to suppress overwrite of libcurses.so
5906 + add checks to toe.c to avoid being confused by files and directories
5907 where we would expect the reverse, e.g., source-files in the
5908 top-level terminfo levels as is the case for AIX.
5911 + add top-level 'depend' rule for the C sources, assuming that the
5912 makedepend program is available. As a side-effect, this makes
5913 the generated sources, as in "make sources" (prompted by a report
5914 by Mike Castle that "make -j" fails because the resulting parallel
5915 processes race to generate ncurses/names.c).
5916 + modify configure script so that --disable-overwrite option's action
5917 to add a symbolic link for libcurses applies to the static library as
5918 well as the shared library when both are configured (report by Felix
5919 Natter <f.natter@ndh.net>).
5920 + add ELKS terminfo entries (Federico Bianchi
5921 <bianchi@www.arte.unipi.it>)
5922 + add u6 (CSR) to Eterm (Michael Jennings).
5925 + modify test/ncurses.c to work with xterm-256color, which has fewer
5926 color pairs than colors*colors (report by David Ellement
5927 <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).
5930 + corrected screen.xterm-xfree86 entry.
5931 + update comment in Caps regarding IBM (AIX) function-key definitions.
5934 + modify c++/Makefile.in to link with libncurses++w.a when configured
5935 for wide-characters (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
5936 + add check in _nc_trace_buf() to refrain from freeing a null pointer.
5937 + improve CF_PROG_INSTALL macro using CF_DIRNAME.
5938 + update config.guess, config.sub from autoconf 2.49e (alpha).
5941 + add secondary check in tic.c, similar_sgr() to see if the reason
5942 for mismatch was that the individual capabilities used a time-delay
5943 while sgr did not. Used this to cleanup mismatches, e.g., in vt100,
5944 and remove time-delay from Apple_Terminal entries.
5945 + add Apple_Terminal terminfo entries (Benjamin C W Sittler
5946 <bsittler@iname.com>).
5947 + correct definitions of shifted editing keys for xterm-xfree86 -TD
5948 + fix a bug in test/bs.c from 20010407 (patch by Erik Sigra).
5949 + prevent relative_move() from doing an overwrite if it detects 8-bit
5950 characters when configured for UTF-8 (reported by Sven Verdoolaege
5951 <skimo@kotnet.org>).
5954 + add configure checks for strstream.h vscan function, and similar
5955 stdio-based function which may be used in C++ binding for gcc 3.0
5956 (reports by George Goffe, Lars Hecking, Mike Castle).
5957 + rewrite parts of configure.in which used changequote(). That feature
5958 is broken in the latest autoconf alphas (e.g., 2.49d).
5959 + add a missing pathname for ncurses_dll.h, needed when building in
5960 a directory outside the source tree (patch by Sven Verdoolaege
5961 <skimo@kotnet.org>).
5962 > fix 2 bugs in test/bs.c Erik Sigra <sigra@home.se>:
5963 + no ships were ever placed in the last row or in the last column.
5964 This made the game very easy to win, because you never had to waste
5965 any shots there, but the computer did.
5966 + the squares around a sunken ship that belonged to the player were not
5967 displayed as already hit by the computer, like it does for the
5971 + add some examples of customizing screen's terminfo:
5972 screen.xterm-xfree86, screen.xterm-r6, screen.teraterm -TD
5973 + modify screen's terminfo entry to match the khome/kend in screen
5974 3.09.08 (Debian #92215).
5975 + correct a memory leak in forms library (report by Stefan Vogtner
5976 <stefan@vogtner.de>) (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
5979 + change symbols used to guard against repeated includes to begin
5980 consistently with "NCURSES_" rather than a leading underscore. There
5981 are other symbols defined in the header files which begin with a
5982 leading underscore, but they are part of the legacy interface.
5983 + reorder includes in c++ binding so that rcs identifiers can be
5985 + add .cc.ii rule to c++ makefile, to get preprocessor output for
5987 + correct configure script handling of @keyword@ substitutions when the
5988 --with-manpage-renames option is given (cf: 20000715, fixes Debian
5990 + report stack underflow/overflow in tparm() when tic -cv option is
5992 + remove spurious "%|" operator from xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry,
5993 (reported by Adam Costello <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, Debian #89222).
5996 + cleanup of newdemo.c, fixing some ambiguous expressions noted by gcc
5997 2.95.2, and correcting some conflicting color pair initializations.
5998 + add missing copyright notice for cursesw.h
5999 + review, make minor fixes for use of '::' for referring to C-language
6000 interface from C++ binding.
6001 + modify configure check for g++ library slightly to accommodate
6002 nonstandard version number, e.g., <vendor>-2.7 (report by Ronald Ho
6003 <rho@mipos2.intel.com>).
6004 + add configure check for c++ <sstream> header, replace hardcoded
6006 + workaround for pre-release of gcc 3.0 libstdc++, which has dropped
6007 vscan from strstreambuf to follow standard, use wrapper for C vscanf
6008 instead (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@excite.com> and Matt Taggart
6009 <taggart@carmen.fc.hp.com>, fixes Debian .
6012 + modify interface of _nc_get_token() to pass 'silent' parameter to it,
6013 to make quieter loading of /etc/termcap (patch by Todd C Miller).
6014 + correct a few typos in curs_slk.3x and curs_outopts.3x manpages
6015 (patch by Todd C Miller).
6018 + compiler-warning fixes (reported by Nelson Beebe).
6021 + modify screen terminfo entry to use new 3.9.8 feature allowing xterm
6025 + broaden patterns used to match OS/2 EMX in configure script to cover
6026 variant used in newer config.guess/config.sub
6027 + remove changequote() calls from configure script, since this feature
6028 is broken in the autoconf 2.49c alpha, maintainers decline to fix.
6029 + remove macro callPutChar() from tty_update.c, since this is no longer
6030 needed (reported by Philippe Blain).
6031 + add a null-pointer check in tic.c to handle the case when the input
6032 file is really empty. Modify the next_char() function in comp_scan.c
6033 to allow arbitrarily long lines, and incidentally supply a newline to
6034 files that do not end in a newline. These changes improve tic's
6035 recovery from attempts to read binary files, e.g., its output from
6036 the terminfo database (reported by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
6039 + revert change to c++/demo.cc from 20001209, which changed definition
6040 of main() apparently to accommodate cygwin linker, but broke the demo
6042 + workaround for broken egcs 2.91.66 which calls member functions
6043 (i.e., lines() and colors() of NCursesWindow before calling its
6044 constructor. Add calls to initialize() in a few constructors which
6045 did not do this already.
6046 + use the GNAT preprocessor to make the necessary switch between TRACE
6047 and NO_TRACE configurations (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6048 > patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
6049 + modify kterm terminfo entry to use SCS sequence to support alternate
6050 character set (it does not work with SI/SO).
6051 + --with-ospeed=something didn't work. configure.in checked for a
6052 $enableval where it should check for $withval. Also,
6053 ncurses/llib-lncurses still had a hardcoded short.
6056 + correction to my merge of Tom Riddle's patch that broke tic in some
6057 conditions (reported by Enoch Wexler <enoch@wexler.co.il>) -TD
6060 + modify view.c to test halfdelay(). Like other tests, this recognizes
6061 the 's' and space commands for stopping/starting polled input, shows
6062 a freerunning clock in the header. If given a parameter to 's', that
6063 makes view.c use halfdelay() with that parameter rather than
6065 + fix to allow compile with the experimental configure option
6067 + modify postprocess_termcap() to avoid overwriting key_backspace,
6068 key_left, key_down when processing a non-base entry (report/patch by
6070 + modify _nc_wrap_entry(), adding option to reallocate the string
6071 table, needed in _nc_merge_entry() when merging termcap entries.
6072 (adapted from report/patch by Tom Riddle <ftr@oracom.com>).
6073 + modify a few configure script macros to keep $CFLAGS used only for
6074 compiler options, preprocessor options in $CPPFLAGS.
6077 + correct marker positions in lrtest.c after receiving a sigwinch.
6078 + fix ifdef's in ncurses.c to build against pre-5.2 for testing.
6079 + fixes to tclock for resizing behavior, redundant computation (report
6080 and patch by A M Kuchling <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>).
6083 + improved scoansi terminfo entry -TD
6084 + modify configure script and makefile in Ada95/src to compile a stub
6085 for the trace functions when ncurses does not provide those.
6088 + add ncurses_dll.h and related definitions to support generating DLL's
6089 with cygwin (adapted from a patch by Charles Wilson
6090 <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>, changed NCURSES_EXPORT macro to make it
6091 work with 'indent') -TD
6094 + correct prototypes for some functions in curs_termcap.3x, matching
6095 termcap.h, which matches X/Open.
6096 > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6097 + a revised version of the Ada enhancements sent in by "H.
6098 Nanosecond", aka Eugene V Melaragno <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>. This
6100 - small fixes to the existing ncurses binding
6101 - addition of some more low-level functions to the binding, including
6102 termcap and terminfo functions
6103 - An Ada implementation of the "ncurses" test application originally
6107 + modify logic in lib_setup.c to allow either lines or columns value
6108 from terminfo to be used if the screen size cannot be determined
6109 dynamically rather than requiring both (patch by Ehud Karni
6110 <ehud@unix.simonwiesel.co.il>).
6111 + add check in lib_tgoto.c's is_termcap() function to reject null or
6112 empty strings (reported by Valentin Nechayev <netch@netch.kiev.ua> to
6114 + add definition from configure script that denotes the path-separator,
6115 which is normally a colon. The path-separator is a semicolon on
6116 OS/2 EMX and similar systems which may use a colon within pathnames.
6117 + alter logic to set default for --disable-overwrite option to set it
6118 to 'yes' if the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr/local, thereby
6119 accommodating the most common cause of problems: gcc's nonstandard
6120 search rules. Other locations such as /usr/local/ncurses will
6121 default to overwriting (report by Lars Hecking <lhecking@nmrc.ie>).
6124 + modify default for --disable-overwrite configure option to disable
6125 if the --prefix or $prefix value is not /usr.
6126 + add cygwin to systems for which ncurses is installed by default into
6127 /usr rather than /usr/local.
6130 + minor optimization in comp_error.c and lib_termname.c, using
6131 strncat() to replace strncpy() (patch by Solar Designer).
6132 + add a use_terminfo_vars() check for $HOME/.termcap, and check for
6133 geteuid() to use_terminfo_vars() (patch by Solar Designer
6135 + improved cygwin terminfo entry, based on patch by
6136 <ernie_boyd@yahoo.com>.
6137 + modify _nc_write_entry() to allow for the possibility that linking
6138 aliases on a filesystem that ignores case would not succeed because
6139 the source and destination differ only by case, e.g., NCR260VT300WPP0
6140 on cygwin (report by Neil Zanella).
6141 + fix a typo in the curs_deleteln.3x man page (patch by Bernhard
6142 Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
6145 + add configure option --with-ospeed to assist packagers in transition
6146 to 5.3 change to ospeed type.
6147 + add/use CharOf() macro to suppress sign-extension of char type on
6148 platforms where this is a problem in ctype macros, e.g., Solaris.
6149 + change trace output to binary format.
6150 + correct a missing quote adjustment in CF_PATH_SYNTAX autoconf
6151 macro, for OS/2 EMX configuration.
6152 + rearrange a few configure macros, moving preprocessor options to
6153 $CPPFLAGS (a now-obsolete version of autoconf did not consistently
6154 use $CPPFLAGS in both the compile and preprocessor checks).
6155 + add a check in relative_move() to guard against buffer overflow in
6156 the overwrite logic.
6159 + add message to configure script showing g++ version.
6160 + resync config.guess, config.sub
6161 + modify lib_delwin.c, making it return ERR if the window did not exist
6162 (suggested by Neil Zanella).
6163 + add cases for FreeBSD 3.1 to tdlint and makellib scripts, used this
6164 to test/review ncurses library. (Would use lclint, but it doesn't
6166 + reorganized knight.c to avoid forward references. Correct screen
6167 updates when backtracking, especially to the first cell. Add F/B/a
6170 20001021 5.2 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
6171 + update generated html files from manpages.
6172 + modify dist.mk to use edit_man.sh to substitute autoconf'd variables
6174 + fix an uninitialized pointer in read_termcap.c (report by Todd C
6175 Miller, from report/patch by Philip Guenther <guenther@gac.edu>).
6176 + correct help-message and array limit in knight.c (patch by Brian
6177 Raiter <breadbox@muppetlabs.com>).
6178 > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6179 + fix to avoid warning by GNAT-3.13p about use of inconsistent casing
6180 for some identifiers defined in the standard package.
6181 + cosmetic change to forms/fty_enum.c
6184 + correct an off-by-one position in test/railroad.c which could cause
6185 wrapping at the right margin.
6186 + test/repair some issues with libtool configuration. Make
6187 --disable-echo force libtool --silent. (Libtool does not work for
6188 OS/2 EMX, works partly for SCO - libtool is still very specific to
6190 + change default of --with-manpage-tbl to "no", since for most of the
6191 platforms which do have tbl installed, the system "man" program
6192 understands how to run tbl automatically.
6193 + minor improvement to force_bar() in comp_parse.c (Bernhard
6194 Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
6195 + modify lib_tparm.c to use get_space() before writing terminating
6196 null character, both for consistency as well as to ensure that if
6197 save_char() was called immediately before, that the allocated memory
6198 is enough (patch by Sergei Ivanov).
6199 + add note about termcap ML capability which is duplicated between two
6200 different capabilities: smgl and smglr (reported by Sergei Ivanov
6201 <svivanov@pdmi.ras.ru>).
6202 + correct parameter counts in include/Caps for dclk as well as some
6203 printer-specific capabilities: csnm, defc, scs, scsd, smgtp, smglp.
6204 > patch by Johnny C Lam <lamj@stat.cmu.edu>:
6205 + add support for building with libtool (apparently version 1.3.5,
6206 since old versions do not handle -L../lib), using new configure
6207 option --with-libtool.
6208 + add configure option --with-manpage-tbl, which causes the manpages to
6209 be preprocessed by tbl(1) prior to installation,
6210 + add configure option --without-curses-h, which causes the
6211 installation process to install curses.h as ncurses.h and make
6212 appropriate changes to headers and manpages.
6215 + correct order of options/parameters in run_tic.in invocation of tic,
6216 which did not work with standard getopt() (reported by Ethan
6217 Butterfield <primus@veris.org>).
6218 + correct logic for 'reverse' variable in lib_vidattr.c, which was
6219 setting it true without checking if newmode had A_REVERSE set, e.g.,
6220 using $TERM=ansi on OS/2 EMX (see 20000917).
6221 > patch by Todd C Miller:
6222 + add a few missing use_terminfo_vars() and fixes up _nc_tgetent().
6223 Previously, _nc_cgetset() would still get called on cp so the
6224 simplest thing is to set cp to NULL if !use_terminfo_vars().
6225 + added checks for an empty $HOME environment variable.
6226 > patches for OS/2 EMX (Ilya Zakharevich):
6227 + modify convert_configure.pl to support INSTALL. Change compiler
6228 options in that script to use multithreading, needed for the mouse.
6229 + modify OS/2 mouse support, retrying as a 2-button mouse if code fails
6230 to set up a 3-button mouse.
6231 + improve code for OS/2 mouse support, using _nc_timed_wait() to
6232 replace select() call.
6235 + change type of ospeed variable back to short to match its use in
6236 legacy applications (reported by Andrey A Chernov).
6237 + add case to configure script for --enable-rpath on IRIX (patch by
6238 Albert Chin-A-Young).
6239 + minor fix to position_check() function, to ensure it gets the whole
6240 cursor report before decoding.
6241 + add configure option --disable-assumed-color, to allow pre-5.1
6242 convention of default colors used for color-pair 0 to be configured
6243 (see assume_default_colors()).
6244 + rename configure option --enable-hashmap --disable-hashmap, and
6245 reorder the configure options, splitting the experimental and
6247 + add configure option --disable-root-environ, which tells ncurses to
6248 disregard $TERMINFO and similar environment variables if the current
6249 user is root, or running setuid/setgid (based on discussion with
6251 + modified misc/run_tic.in to use tic -o, to eliminate dependency on
6252 $TERMINFO variable for installs.
6253 + add table entry for plab_norm to tput, so it passes in strings
6254 for that capability.
6255 + modify parse_format() in lib_tparm.c to ignore precision if it is
6256 longer than 10000 (report by Jouko Pynnonen).
6257 + rewrote limit checks in lib_mvcur.c using new functions
6258 _nc_safe_strcat(), etc. Made other related changes to check lengths
6259 used for strcat/strcpy (report by Jouko Pynnonen
6260 <jouko@solutions.fi>).
6263 + modify several descriptions, including those for setaf, setab, in
6264 include/Caps to indicate that the entries are parameterized. This
6265 information is used to tell which strings are translated when
6266 converting to termcap. Fixes a problem where the generated termcap
6267 would contain a spurious "%p1" for the terminfo "%p1%d".
6268 + modify ld -rpath options (e.g., Linux, and Solaris) to use an
6269 absolute pathname for the build tree's lib directory (prompted by
6270 discussion with Albert Chin-A-Young).
6271 + modify "make install.man" and "make uninstall.man" to include tack's
6273 + various fixes for install scripts used to support configure --srcdir
6274 and --with-install-prefix (reported by Matthew Clarke
6275 <Matthew_Clarke@mindlink.bc.ca>).
6276 + make configure script checks on variables $GCC and $GXX consistently
6277 compare against 'yes' rather than test if they are nonnull, since
6278 either may be set to the corresponding name of the C or C++ compiler
6279 (report/patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
6282 + modify rs2 capability in xterm-r6 and similar where cursor
6283 save/restore bracketed the sequence for resetting video attributes.
6284 The cursor restore would undo that (report by John Hawkinson
6285 <jhawk@MIT.EDU> (see NetBSD misc/11052)).
6286 + using parameter check added to tic, corrected 27 typos in
6288 + modify tic to verify that its inputs are really files, in case
6289 someone tries to read a directory (or /dev/zero).
6290 + add a check for empty buffers returned by fgets() in comp_scan.c
6291 next_char() function, in case tic is run on a non-text file (fixes
6292 a core dump reported by Aaron Campbell <aaron@cs.dal.ca>).
6293 + add to railroad.c some code exercising tgoto(), providing an
6294 alternate form of display if the terminal supports cursor addressing.
6295 + split-out tgoto() again, this time into new file lib_tgoto.c, and
6296 implement a conventional BSD-style tgoto() which is used if the
6297 capability string does not contain terminfo-style padding or
6298 parameters (requested by Andrey A Chernov).
6299 + add check to tic which reports capabilities that do not reference
6300 the expected number of parameters.
6301 + add error checking to infocmp's -v and -m options to ensure that
6302 the option value is indeed a number.
6303 + some cleanup of logic in _nc_signal_handler() to verify if SIGWINCH
6304 handler is setup. Separated the old/new sigaction data for SIGTSTP
6305 from the other signals.
6308 + add S0, E0 extensions to screen's terminfo entry, which is another
6309 way to solve the misconfiguration issue -TD
6310 + completed special case for tgoto from 20000916
6313 + update xterm terminfo entries to match XFree86 xterm patch #146 -TD
6314 + add Matrix Orbital terminfo entries (from Eric Z Ayers
6316 + add special case to lib_tparm.c to allow 'screen' program to use a
6317 termcap-style parameter "%." to tgoto() for switching character sets.
6318 + use LN_S substitution in run_tic.in, to work on OS/2 EMX which has
6320 + updated notes in README.emx regarding autoconf patches.
6321 + replace a lookup table in lib_vidattr.c used to decode no_color_video
6322 with a logic expression (suggested by Philippe Blain).
6323 + add a/A toggle to ncurses.c 'b' test, which clears/sets alternate
6324 character set attribute from the displayed text.
6325 + correct inequality in parameter analysis of rewritten lib_tparm.c
6326 which had the effect of ignoring p9 in set_attributes (sgr), breaking
6327 alternate character set (reported by Piotr Majka <charvel@link.pl>).
6328 + correct ifdef'ing for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF which would not compile
6329 with Sun WorkShop compilers since these tokens were empty (cf:
6330 20000902, reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
6333 + correct an uninitialized parameter to open_tempfile() in tic.c which
6334 made "tic -I" give an ambiguous error message about tmpnam.
6335 + add special case in lib_vidattr.c to reset underline and standout for
6336 devices that have no sgr0 defined (patch by Don Lewis
6337 <Don.Lewis@tsc.tdk.com>). Note that this will not work for bold
6338 mode, since there is no exit-bold-mode capability.
6339 + improved patch for Make_Enum_Type (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6340 + modify tparm to disallow arithmetic on strings, analyze the varargs
6341 list to read strings as strings and numbers as numbers.
6342 + modify tparm's internal function spop() to treat a null pointer as
6344 + modify tput program so it can be renamed or invoked via a link as
6345 'reset' or 'init', producing the same effect as 'tput reset' or 'tput
6347 + add private entrypoint _nc_basename(), use to consolidate related
6348 code in progs, as well as accommodating OS/2 EMX pathnames.
6349 + remove NCURSES_CONST line from edit_cfg.sh to compensate for its
6350 removal (except via AC_SUBST) from configure.in, making
6351 --enable-const work again (reported by Juergen Pfeifer).
6352 + regen'd configure to pick up "hpux*" change from 20000902.
6355 + modify tset.c to check for transformed "reset" program name, if any.
6356 + add a check for null pointer in Make_Enum_Type() (reported by Steven
6357 W Orr <steveo@world.std.com>).
6358 + change functions _nc_parse_entry() and postprocess_termcap() to avoid
6359 using strtok(), because it is non-reentrant (reported by Andrey A
6360 Chernov <ache@nagual.pp.ru>).
6361 + remove "hpux10.*" case from CF_SHARED_OPTS configure script macro.
6362 This differed from the "hpux*" case by using reversed symbolic
6363 links, which made the 5.1 version not match the configuration of
6364 5.0 shared libraries (reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
6365 + correct a dependency in Ada95/src/Makefile.in which prevented
6366 building with configure --srcdir (patch by H Nanosecond
6367 <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>).
6368 + modify ifdef's in curses.h.in to avoid warning if GCC_PRINTF or
6369 GCC_SCANF was not previously defined (reported by Pavel Roskin
6371 + add MKncurses_def.sh to generate fallback definitions for
6372 ncurses_cfg.h, to quiet gcc -Wundef warnings, modified ifdef's in
6373 code to consistently use "#if" rather than "#ifdef".
6376 + add QNX qansi entries to terminfo -TD
6377 + add os2 entry to misc/emx.src (<jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
6378 + add configure option --with-database to allow specifying a different
6379 terminfo source-file to install. On OS/2 EMX, this defaults to
6381 + change misc/run_tic.sh to derive it from misc/run_tic.in, to simplify
6382 setting .exe extension on OS/2 EMX.
6383 + add .exe extension in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in,
6384 Ada95/samples/Makefile.in, for OS/2 EMX (reported by
6385 <jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
6386 + add configure check for filesystems (such as OS/2 EMX) which do not
6387 distinguish between upper/lowercase filenames, use this to fix tags
6389 + initialize fds[] array to 0's in _nc_timed_wait(); apparently poll()
6390 only sets the revents members of that array when there is activity
6391 corresponding to the related file (report by Glenn Cooper
6392 <gcooper@qantas.com.au>, using Purify on Solaris 5.6).
6393 + change configure script to use AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM rather than
6394 AC_CANONICAL_HOST, which means that configure --target will set
6395 a default program-prefix.
6396 + add note on cross-compiling to INSTALL (which does not rely on the
6397 AC_CANONICAL_* macros).
6400 + add cases for EMX OS/2 to config.guess, config.sub
6401 + new version of config.guess, config.sub from lynx 2.8.4dev.7
6402 + add definitions via transform.h to allow tic and tput to check for
6403 the transformed aliases rather than the original infotocap, etc.
6404 + simplify transform-expressions in progs/Makefile.in, make the
6405 uninstall rule work for transformed program names.
6406 + change symbol used by --install-prefix configure option from
6407 INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR (the latter has become common usage
6408 although the name is misleading).
6409 + modify programs to use curses_version() string to report the version
6410 of ncurses with which they are compiled rather than the
6411 NCURSES_VERSION string. The function returns the patch level in
6412 addition to the major and minor version numbers.
6415 + modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to make transformed program names
6416 a parameter to that macro rather than embedding them in the macro.
6417 + newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in lynx
6419 + add configure option --with-default-terminfo-dir=DIR to allow
6420 specifying the default terminfo database directory (request by Albert
6422 + minor updates for terminfo.src from FreeBSD termcap change-history.
6423 + correct notes in README and INSTALL regarding documentation files
6424 that were moved from misc directory to doc (report by Rich Kulawiec
6426 + change most remaining unquoted parameters of 'test' in configure
6427 script to use quotes, for instance fixing a problem in the
6428 --disable-database option (reported by Christian Mondrup
6429 <scancm@biobase.dk>).
6430 + minor adjustments to work around some of the incompatibilities/bugs
6431 in autoconf 2.29a alpha.
6432 + add -I/usr/local/include when --with-ncurses option is used in
6433 test/configure script.
6434 + correct logic in adjust_cancels(), which did not check both
6435 alternatives when reclassifying an extended name between boolean,
6436 number and string, causing an infinite loop in tic.
6439 + correct a missing backslash in curses.priv.h
6442 + change handling of non_dest_scroll_region in tty_update.c to clear
6443 text after it is shifted in rather than before shifting out. Also
6444 correct row computation (reported by Ruediger Kuhlmann
6445 <uck4@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>).
6446 + add/use new trace function to display chtype values from winch() and
6448 + add trace mask TRACE_ATTRS, alter several existing _tracef calls that
6449 trace attribute changes under TRACE_CALLS to use this.
6450 + modify MKlib_gen.sh so that functions returning chtype will call
6452 + add returnChar() trace, for functions returning chtype.
6453 + change indent.pro to line up parenthesis.
6456 + fix a heap problem with the c++ binding (report by
6457 <alexander_liberson@ninewest.com>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6458 + minor adjustment to ClrToEOL() to handle an out-of-bounds parameter.
6459 + modify the check for big-core to force a couple of memory accesses,
6460 which may work as needed for older/less-capable machines (if not,
6461 there's still the explicit configure option).
6462 > fixes based on diff's for Amiga and BeOS found at
6463 http://www.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~kuhlmann/cross/ncurses/
6464 + alter definition of NCURSES_CONST to make it non-empty.
6465 + add amiga-vnc terminfo entry.
6466 + redefine 'TEXT' in menu.h for AMIGA, since it is reported to have
6467 an (unspecified) symbol conflict.
6468 + replaced case-statement in _nc_tracebits() for CSIZE with a table to
6469 simplify working around implementations that define random
6470 combinations of the related macros to zero.
6471 + modify configure test for tcgetattr() to allow for old
6472 implementations, e.g., on BeOS, which only defined it as a macro.
6473 > patches by Bruno Haible:
6474 + when checking LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG environment variables for UTF-8
6475 locale, ignore those which are set to an empty value, as per SUSV2.
6476 + encode 0xFFFD in UTF-8 with 3 bytes, not 2.
6477 + modify _nc_utf8_outch() to avoid sign-extension when checking for
6481 + correct manlinks.sed script to avoid using ERE "\+", which is not
6482 understood by older versions of sed (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
6483 + implement configure script options that transform installed program
6484 names, e.g., --program-prefix, including the manpage names and cross
6485 references (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>).
6486 + correct several mismatches between manpage filename and ".TH"
6487 directives, renaming dft_fgbg.3x to default_colors.3x and
6488 menu_attribs.3x to menu_attributes.3x (report by Todd C Miller).
6489 + correct missing includes for <string.h> in several places, including
6490 the C++ binding. This is not noted by gcc unless we use the
6491 -fno-builtin option (reported by Igor Schein <igor@txc.com>).
6492 + modified progs/tset.c and tack/sysdep.c to build with sgttyb
6493 interface if neither termio or termios is available. Tested this
6494 with FreeBSD 2.1.5 (which does have termios - but the sgttyb does
6497 20000708 5.1 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
6498 + document configure options in INSTALL.
6499 + add man-page for ncurses trace functions.
6500 + correct return value shown in curs_touch.3x for is_linetouched() and
6501 is_wintouched(), in curs_initscr.3x for isendwin(), and in
6502 curs_termattr.3x for has_ic() and has_il().
6503 + add prototypes for touchline() and touchwin(), adding them to the
6504 list of generated functions.
6505 + modify fifo_push() to put ERR into the fifo just like other values to
6506 return from wgetch(). It was returning without doing that, making
6507 end-of-file condition incorrectly return a 0 (reported by Todd C
6509 + uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS for progs and tack (see 971115), since they
6510 are needed for SCO OpenServer.
6511 + move _nc_disable_period from free_ttype.c to comp_scan.c to appease
6512 dynamic loaders on SCO and IRIX64.
6513 + add "-a" option to test/ncurses.c to invoke assume_default_colors()
6515 + correct assignment in assume_default_colors() which tells ncurses
6516 whether to use default colors, or the assumed ones (reported by Gary
6517 Funck <gary@Intrepid.Com>).
6518 + review/correct logic in mk-1st.awk for making symbolic links for
6519 shared libraries, in particular for FreeBSD, etc.
6520 + regenerate misc/*.def files for OS/2 EMX dll's.
6521 + correct quoting of values for CC_SHARED_OPTS in aclocal.m4 for
6522 cases openbsd2*, openbsd*, freebsd* and netbsd* (patch by Peter
6523 Wemm) (err in 20000610).
6524 + minor updates to release notes, as well as adding/updating URLs for
6525 examples cited in announce.html
6526 > several fixes from Philippe Blain <philippe.blain2@freesbee.fr>:
6527 + correct placement of ifdef for NCURSES_XNAMES in function
6528 _nc_free_termtype(), fixes a memory leak.
6529 + add a call to _nc_synchook() to the end of function whline() like
6530 that in wvline() (difference was in 1.9.4).
6531 + make ClearScreen() a little faster by moving two instances of
6532 UpdateAttr() out of for-loops.
6533 + simplify ClrBottom() by eliminating the tstLine data, using for-loops
6536 20000701 pre-release
6537 + change minor version to 1, i.e., ncurses 5.1
6538 + add experimental configure option --enable-colorfgbg to check for
6539 $COLORTERM variable as set by rxvt/aterm/Eterm.
6540 + add Eterm terminfo entry (Michael Jennings <mej@valinux.com>).
6541 + modify manlinks.sed to pick aliases from the SYNOPSIS section, and
6542 several manpages so manlinks.sed can find aliases for creating
6544 + add explanation to run_tic.sh regarding extended terminal
6546 + change message format for edit_cfg.sh, since some people interpret
6548 + correct unescaped '$' in sysv5uw7*|unix_sv* rule for CF_SHARED_OPTS
6549 configure macro (report by Thanh Ma <Thanh.Ma@casi-rusco.com>).
6550 + correct logic in lib_twait.c as used by lib_mouse.c for GPM mouse
6551 support when poll() is used rather than select() (prompted by
6552 discussion with David Allen <DAllen24@aol.com>).
6554 20000624 pre-release
6555 + modify TransformLine() to check for cells with different color pairs
6556 that happen to render the same display colors.
6557 + apply $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to cost-computation in mvcur().
6558 + improve cost computation in PutRange() by accounting for the use
6559 of parm_right_cursor in mvcur().
6560 + correct cost computation in EmitRange(), which was not using the
6561 normalized value for cursor_address.
6562 + newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in TIN 1.5.6).
6565 + update config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in PCRE 3.2).
6566 + resync changes to gnathtml against version 1.22, regenerated html
6567 files under doc/html/ada using this (1.22.1.1).
6568 + regenerated html files under doc/html/man after correcting top and
6569 bottom margin options for man2html in dist.mk
6570 + minor fixes to test programs ncurses 'i' and testcurs program to make
6571 the subwindow's background color cover the subwindow.
6572 + modify configure script so AC_MSG_ERROR is temporarily defined to a
6573 warning in AC_PROG_CXX to make it recover from a missing C++ compiler
6574 without requiring user to add --without-cxx option (adapted from
6575 comment by Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> to autoconf mailing list).
6576 + modify headers.sh to avoid creating temporary files in the build
6577 directory when installing headers (reported by Sergei Pokrovsky
6581 + regenerated the html files under doc/html/ada/files and
6582 doc/html/ada/funcs with a slightly-improved gnathtml.
6583 + add kmous capability to linux terminfo entry to allow it to use
6584 xterm-style events provided by gpm patch by Joerg Schoen.
6585 + make the configure macro CF_SHARED_OPTS a little smarter by testing
6586 if -fPIC is supported by gcc rather than -fpic. The former option
6587 allows larger symbol tables.
6588 + update config.guess and config.sub (patches by
6589 Kevin Buettner <kev@primenet.com> (for elf64_ia64),
6590 Bernd Kuemmerlen <bkuemmer@mevis.de> (for MacOS X)).
6591 + add warning for 'tic -cv' about use of '^?' in terminfo source, which
6595 + modify echo() behavior of getch() to match Solaris curses for
6596 carriage return and backspace (reported by Neil Zanella).
6597 + change _nc_flush() to a function.
6598 + modify delscreen() to check if the output stream has been closed, and
6599 if so, free the buffer allocated for setbuf (this provides an
6600 ncurses-specific way to avoid a memory leak when repeatedly calling
6601 newterm reported by Chipp C <at_1@zdnetonebox.com>).
6602 + correct typo in curs_getch.3x manpage regarding noecho (reported by
6603 David Malone <dwmalone@maths.tcd.ie>).
6604 + add a "make libs" rule.
6605 + make the Ada95 interface build with configure --enable-widec.
6606 + if the configure --enable-widec option is given, append 'w' to names
6607 of the generated libraries (e.g., libncursesw.so) to avoid conflict
6608 with existing ncurses libraries.
6611 + modify view.c to make a rudimentary viewer of UTF-8 text if ncurses
6612 is configured with the experimental wide-character support.
6613 + add a simple UTF-8 output driver to the experimental wide-character
6614 support. If any of the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or
6615 LANG contain the string "UTF-8", this driver will be used to
6616 translate the output to UTF-8. This works with XFree86 xterm.
6617 + modify configure script to allow building shared libraries on BeOS
6618 (from a patch by Valeriy E Ushakov).
6619 + modify lib_addch.c to allow repeated update to the lower-right
6620 corner, rather than displaying only the first character written until
6621 the cursor is moved. Recent versions of SVr4 curses can update the
6622 lower-right corner, and behave this way (reported by Neil Zanella).
6623 + add a limit-check in _nc_do_color(), to avoid using invalid color
6624 pair value (report by Brendan O'Dea <bod@compusol.com.au>).
6627 + the tack program knows how to use smcup and rmcup but the "show caps
6628 that can be tested" feature did not reflect this knowledge. Correct
6629 the display in the menu tack/test/edit/c (patch by Daniel Weaver).
6630 + xterm-16color does allow bold+colors, removed ncv#32 from that
6634 + correct assignment to SP->_has_sgr_39_49 in lib_dft_fgbg.c, which
6635 broke check for screen's AX capability (reported by Valeriy E Ushakov
6637 + change man2html rule in dist.mk to workaround bug in some
6638 man-programs that ignores locale when rendering hyphenation.
6639 + change web- and ftp-site to dickey.his.com
6642 + move _nc_curr_token from parse_entry.c to comp_scan.c, to work around
6643 problem linking tack on MacOS X DP3.
6644 + include <sys/time.h> in lib_napms.c to compile on MacOS X DP3
6645 (reported by Gerben Wierda <wierda@holmes.nl>).
6646 + modify lib_vidattr.c to check for ncv fixes when pair-0 is not
6648 + add -d option to ncurses.c, to turn on default-colors for testing.
6649 + add a check to _nc_makenew() to ensure that newwin() and newpad()
6650 calls do not silently fail by passing too-large limits.
6651 + add symbol NCURSES_SIZE_T to use rather than explicit 'short' for
6652 internal window and pad sizes. Note that since this is visible in
6653 the WINDOW struct, it would be an ABI change to make this an 'int'
6654 (prompted by a question by Bastian Trompetter
6655 <btrompetter@firemail.de>, who attempted to create a 96000-line pad).
6658 + add mgterm terminfo entry from NetBSD, minor adjustments to sun-ss5,
6660 + modify tack/ansi.c to make it more tolerant of bad ANSI replies. An
6661 example of an illegal ANSI resonse can be found using Microsoft's
6662 Telnet client. A correct display can be found using a VT-4xx
6663 terminal or XFree86 xterm with:
6664 XTerm*VT100*decTerminalID: 450
6665 (patch by Daniel Weaver).
6666 + modify gdc.c to recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' '
6667 for resume. Add '-n' option to force gdc's standard input to
6668 /dev/null, to both illustrate the use of newterm() for specifying
6669 alternate inputs as well as for testing signal handling.
6670 + minor fix for configure option --with-manpage-symlinks, for target
6671 directories that contain a period ('.') (reported by Larry Virden).
6674 + minor additions to beterm entry (feedback from Rico Tudor) -TD
6675 + corrections/updates for some IBM terminfo entries -TD
6676 + modify _nc_screen_wrap() so that when exiting curses mode with
6677 non-default colors, the last line on the screen will be cleared to
6678 the screen's default colors (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
6679 + modify ncurses.c 'r' example to set nonl(), allowing control/M to be
6680 read for demonstrating the REQ_NEW_LINE operation (prompted by a
6681 question by Tony L Keith <tlkeith@keithconsulting.com>).
6682 + modify ncurses.c 'r' example of field_info() to work on Solaris 2.7,
6683 documented extension of ncurses which allows a zero pointer.
6684 + modify fmt_complex() to avoid buffer overflow in case of excess
6685 recursion, and to recognize "%e%?" as a synonym for else-if, which
6686 means that it will not recur for that special case.
6687 + add logic to support $TERMCAP variable in case the USE_GETCAP symbol
6688 is defined (patch by Todd C Miller).
6689 + modify one of the m4 files used to generate the Ada95 sources,
6690 to avoid using the token "symbols" (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6693 + add terminfo entries bsdos-pc-m, bsdos-pc-mono (Jeffrey C Honig)
6694 + correct spelling error in terminfo entry name: bq300-rv was given as
6695 bg300-rv in esr's version.
6696 + modify redrawwin() macro so its parameter is fully parenthesized
6697 (fixes Debian #61088).
6698 + correct formatting error in dump_entry() which set incorrect column
6699 value when no newline trimming was needed at the end of an entry,
6700 before appending "use=" clauses (cf: 960406).
6703 + add configure option --with-manpage-symlinks
6704 + change unctrl() to render C1 characters (128-159) as ~@, ~A, etc.
6705 + change makefiles so trace() function is provided only if TRACE is
6706 defined, e.g., in the debug library. Modify related calls to
6707 _tracechar() to use unctrl() instead.
6710 + add screen's AX capability (for ECMA SGR 39 and 49) to applicable
6711 terminfo entries, use presence of this as a check for a small
6712 improvement in setting default colors.
6713 + improve logic in _nc_do_color() implementing assume_default_colors()
6714 by passing in previous color pair info to eliminate redundant call to
6715 set_original_colors(). (Part of this is from a patch by Alexander
6717 + modify warning in _nc_trans_string() about a possibly too-long string
6718 to do this once only rather than for each character past the
6719 threshold (600). Change interface of _nc_trans_string() to allow
6720 check for buffer overflow.
6721 + correct use of memset in _nc_read_entry_source() to initialize ENTRY
6722 struct each time before reading new data into it, rather than once
6723 per loop (cf: 990301). This affects multi-entry in-core operations
6724 such as "infocmp -Fa".
6727 + remove a spurious pointer increment in _nc_infotocap() changes from
6728 20000311. Add check for '.' in format of number, since that also
6729 is not permitted in termcap.
6730 + correct typo in rxvt-basic terminfo from temporary change made while
6731 integrating 20000318.
6734 + revert part of the vt220 change (request by Todd C Miller).
6735 + add ansi-* terminfo entries from ESR's version.
6736 + add -a option to tic and infocmp, which retains commented-out
6737 capabilities during source translation/comparison, e.g., captoinfo
6739 + modify cardfile.c to display an empty card if no input data file is
6740 found, fixes a core dump in that case (reported by Bruno Haible).
6741 + correct bracketing in CF_MATH_LIB configure macro, which gave wrong
6742 result for OS/2 EMX.
6743 + supply required parameter for _nc_resolve_uses() call in
6744 read_termcap.c, overlooked in 20000311 (reported by Todd C Miller).
6745 > patches by Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>:
6746 + fix a compiler warning in fty_enum.c
6747 + correct LIB_PREFIX expression for DEPS_CURSES in progs, tack
6748 makefiles, which resulted in redundant linking (cf: 20000122).
6751 + make ifdef's for BROKEN_LINKER consistent (patch by Todd C Miller).
6752 + improved tack/README (patch by Daniel Weaver).
6753 + modify tput.c to ensure that unspecified parameters are passed to
6755 + add a few checks in infocmp to guard against buffer overflow when
6756 displaying string capabilities.
6757 + add check for zero-uses in infocmp's file_comparison() function
6758 before calling _nc_align_termtype(). Otherwise one parameter is
6759 indexed past the end of the uses-array.
6760 + add an option -q to infocmp to specify the less verbose output,
6761 keeping the existing format as the default, though not retaining the
6762 previous behavior that made the -F option compare each entry to
6764 + adapted patch by ESR to make infocmp -F less verbose -TD
6765 (the submitted patch was unusable because it did not compile
6767 + modify write_entry.c to ensure that absent or cancelled booleans
6768 are written as FALSE, for consistency with infocmp which now
6769 assumes this. Note that for the small-core configuration, tic
6770 may not produce the same result as before.
6771 + change some private library interfaces used by infocmp, e.g.,
6773 + add a check in _nc_infotocap() to ensure that cm-style capabilities
6774 accept only %d codes when converting the format from terminfo to
6776 + modify ENTRY struct to separate the data in 'parent' into the name
6777 and link values (the original idea to merge both into 'parent' was
6779 + discard repair_acsc(tterm);
6780 > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6781 + drop support for gnat 3.10
6782 + move generated documentation and html files under ./doc directory,
6783 adding makefile rules for this to dist.mk
6786 + correct conflicting use of tparm() in 20000226 change to tic, which
6787 made it check only one entry at a time.
6788 + fix errors in ncurses-intro.html and hackguide.html shown by Dave
6790 + make the example in ncurses-intro.html do something plausible, and
6791 corrected misleading comment (reported by Neil Zanella).
6792 + modify pnoutrefresh() to set newscr->_leaveok as wnoutrefresh() does,
6793 to fix a case where the cursor position was not updated as in
6794 Solaris (patch by David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>).
6795 + add a limit-check for wresize() to ensure that a subwindow does not
6796 address out of bounds.
6797 + correct offsets used for subwindows in wresize() (patch by Michael
6798 Andres <ma@suse.de>).
6799 + regenerate html'ized manual pages with man2html 3.0.1 (patch by
6800 Juergen Pfeifer). This generated a file with a space in its name,
6802 + fix a few spelling errors in tack.
6803 + modify tack/Makefile.in to match linker options of progs/Makefile.in;
6804 otherwise it does not build properly for older HPUX shared library
6806 + add several terminfo entries from esr's "11.0".
6809 + make 'tput flash' work properly for xterm by flushing output in
6810 delay_output() when using napms(), and modifying xterm's terminfo to
6811 specify no padding character. Otherwise, xterm's reported baud rate
6812 can mislead ncurses into producing too few padding characters
6814 + add a check to tic for consistency between sgr and the separate
6815 capabilities such as smso, use this to check/correct several
6816 terminfo entries (Debian #58530).
6817 + add a check to tic if cvvis is the same as cnorm, adjusted several
6818 terminfo entries to remove the conflict (Debian #58530).
6819 + correct prototype shown in attr_set()/wattr_set() manpages (fixes
6821 + minor clarification for curs_set() and leaveok() manpages.
6822 + use mkstemp() for creating temporary file for tic's processing of
6823 $TERMCAP contents (fixes Debian #56465).
6824 + correct two errors from integrating Alexander's changes: did not
6825 handle the non-bce case properly in can_erase_with() (noted by
6826 Alexander), and left fg/bg uninitialized in the pair-zero case of
6827 _nc_do_color() (reported by Dr Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> and
6828 Ismael Cordeiro <ismael@cordeiro.com>).
6831 + store default-color code consistently as C_MASK, even if given as
6832 -1 for convenience (adapted from patches by Alexander V Lukyanov).
6833 > patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
6834 + change can_clear_with() macro to accommodate logic for
6835 assume_default_colors(), making most of the FILL_BCE logic
6836 unnecessary. Made can_clear_with() an inline function to make it
6840 + corrected form of recent copyright dates.
6841 + minor corrections to xterm-xf86-v333 terminfo entry -TD
6842 > patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
6843 + reworded dft_fgbg.3x to avoid assuming that the terminal's default
6844 colors are white on black.
6845 + fix initialization of tstLine so that it is filled with current blank
6846 character in any case. Previously it was possible to have it filled
6847 with old blank. The wrong over-optimization was introduced in 991002
6848 patch. (it is not very critical as the only bad effect is not using
6849 clr_eos for clearing if blank has changed).
6852 + minor corrections/updates to several terminfo entries: rxvt-basic,
6853 vt520, vt525, ibm5151, xterm-xf86-v40 -TD
6854 + modify ifdef's for poll() to allow it to use <sys/poll.h>, thereby
6855 allowing poll() to be used on Linux.
6856 + add CF_FUNC_POLL macro to check if poll() is able to select from
6857 standard input. If not we will not use it, preferring select()
6858 (adapted from patch by Michael Pakovic <mpakovic@fdn.com>).
6859 + update CF_SHARED_OPTS macro for SCO Unixware 7.1 to allow building
6860 shared libraries (reported/tested by Thanh <thanhma@mediaone.net>).
6861 + override $LANGUAGE in build to avoid incorrect ordering of keynames.
6862 + correct CF_MATH_LIB parameter, must be sin(x), not sqrt(x).
6865 + resync CF_CHECK_ERRNO and CF_LIB_PREFIX macros from tin and xterm -TD
6866 + modify CF_MATH_LIB configure macro to parameterize the test function
6867 used, for reuse in dialog and similar packages.
6868 + correct tests for file-descriptors in OS/2 EMX mouse support. A
6869 negative value could be used by FD_SET, causing the select() call
6870 to wait indefinitely.
6873 + additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of delete_character)
6874 to work when assume_default_colors() is not specified.
6875 + modify warning message from _nc_parse_entry() regarding extended
6876 capability names to print only if tic/infocmp/toe have the -v flag
6877 set, and not at all in ordinary user applications. Otherwise, this
6878 warning would be shown for screen's extended capabilities in programs
6879 that use the termcap interface (reported by Todd C Miller).
6880 + modify use of _nc_tracing from programs such as tic so their debug
6881 level is not in the same range as values set by trace() function.
6882 + small panel header cleanup (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6883 + add 'railroad' demo for termcap interface.
6884 + modify 'tic' to write its usage message to stderr (patch by Todd C
6888 + add prototype for erase() to curses.h.in, needed to make test
6889 programs build with c++/g++.
6890 + add .c.i and .c.h suffix rules to generated makefiles, for debugging.
6891 + correct install rule for tack.1; it assumed that file was in the
6892 current directory (reported by Mike Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com>).
6893 + modify terminfo/termcap translation to suppress acsc before trying
6894 sgr if the entry would be too large (patch by Todd C Miller).
6895 + document a special case of incompatiblity between ncurses 4.2 and
6896 5.0, add a section for this in INSTALL.
6897 + add TRACE_DATABASE flag for trace().
6900 + update mach, add mach-color terminfo entries based on Debian diffs
6902 + add entries for xterm-hp, xterm-vt220, xterm-vt52 and xterm-noapp
6903 terminfo entries -TD
6904 + change OTrs capabilities to rs2 in terminfo.src -TD
6905 + add obsolete and extended capabilities to 'screen' terminfo -TD
6906 + corrected conversion from terminfo rs2 to termcap rs (cf: 980704)
6907 + make conversion to termcap ug (underline glitch) more consistently
6909 + fix out-of-scope use of 'personal[]' buffer in 'toe' (this error
6910 was in the original pre-1.9.7 version, when $HOME/.terminfo was
6912 + modify 'toe' to ignore terminfo directories to which it has no
6914 + modify read_termtype(), fixing 'toe', which could dump core when it
6915 found an incomplete entry such as "dumb" because it did not
6916 initialize its buffer for _nc_read_file_entry().
6917 + use -fPIC rather than -fpic for shared libraries on Linux, not
6918 needed for i386 but some ports (from Debian diffs for 5.0) -TD
6919 + use explicit VALID_NUMERIC() checks in a few places that had been
6920 overlooked, and add a check to ensure that init_tabs is nonzero,
6921 to avoid divide-by-zero (reported by Todd C Miller).
6922 + minor fix for CF_ANSI_CC_CHECK configure macro, for HPUX 10.x (from
6926 + reorder tests during mouse initialization to allow for gpm to run in
6927 xterm, or for xterm to be used under OS/2 EMX. Also drop test for
6928 $DISPLAY in favor of kmous=\E[M or $TERM containing "xterm" (report
6929 by Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>).
6930 + modify raw() and noraw() to clear/restore IEXTEN flag which affects
6931 stty lnext on systems such as FreeBSD (report by Bruce Evans
6932 <bde@zeta.org.au>, via Jason Evans <jasone@canonware.com>).
6933 + fix a potential (but unlikely) buffer overflow in failed() function
6934 of tset.c (reported by Todd C Miller).
6935 + add manual-page for ncurses extensions, documented curses_version(),
6936 use_extended_names().
6939 + treat as untranslatable to termcap those terminfo strings which
6940 contain non-decimal formatting, e.g., hexadecimal or octal.
6941 + correct commented-out capabilities that cannot be translated to
6942 termcap, which did not check if a colon must be escaped.
6943 + correct termcap translation for "%>" and "%+", which did not check
6944 if a colon must be escaped, for instance.
6945 + use save_string/save_char for _nc_captoinfo() to eliminate fixed
6946 buffer (originally for _nc_infotocap() in 960301 -TD).
6947 + correct expression used for terminfo equivalent of termcap %B,
6948 adjust regent100 entry which uses this.
6949 + some cleanup and commenting of ad hoc cases in _nc_infotocap().
6950 + eliminate a fixed-buffer in tic, used for translating comments.
6951 + add manpage for infotocap
6954 + add kvt and gnome terminfo entries -TD
6955 + correct translation of "%%" by infotocap, which was emitted as "%".
6956 + add "obsolete" termcap strings to terminfo.src
6957 + modify infocmp to default to showing obsolete capabilities rather
6959 + modify write_entry.c so that if extended names (i.e., configure
6960 --enable-tcap-names) are active, then tic will also write "obsolete"
6961 capabilities that are present in the terminfo source.
6962 + modify tic so that when running as captoinfo or infotocap, it
6963 initializes the output format as in -C and -I options, respectively.
6964 + improve infocmp and tic -f option by splitting long strings that do
6965 not have if-then-else construct, but do have parameters, e.g., the
6966 initc for xterm-88color.
6967 + refine MKtermsort.sh slightly by using bool for the *_from_termcap
6971 + additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of clear_screen,
6972 clr_eol, clr_eos, scrolling) to work when assume_default_colors() is
6974 + several small changes to xterm terminfo entries -TD.
6975 + move logic for _nc_windows in lib_freeall.c inside check for nonnull
6976 SP, since it is part of that struct.
6977 + remove obsolete shlib-versions, which was unintentionally re-added
6979 + modify infocmp -e, -E options to ensure that generated fallback.c
6980 type for Booleans agrees with term.h (reported by Eric Norum
6981 <eric@cls.usask.ca>).
6982 + correct configure script's use of $LIB_PREFIX, which did not work
6983 for installing the c++ directory if $libdir did not end with "/lib"
6984 (reported by Huy Le <huyle@ugcs.caltech.edu>).
6985 + modify infocmp so -L and -f options work together.
6986 + modify the initialization of SP->_color_table[] in start_color() so
6987 that color_content() will return usable values for COLORS greater
6989 + modify ncurses 'd' test in case COLORS is greater than 16, e.g., for
6990 xterm-88color, to limit the displayed/computed colors to 16.
6991 > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6992 + simplify coding of the panel library according to suggestions by
6994 + improve macro coding for a few macros in curses.priv.h
6997 + modify treatment of color pair 0 so that if ncurses is configured
6998 to support default colors, and they are not active, then ncurses
6999 will set that explicitly, not relying on orig_colors or orig_pair.
7000 + add new extension, assume_default_colors() to provide better control
7001 over the use of default colors.
7002 + modify test programs to use more-specific ifdef's for existence of
7003 wresize(), resizeterm() and use_default_colors().
7004 + modify configure script to add specific ifdef's for some functions
7005 that are included when --enable-ext-funcs is in effect, so their
7006 existence can be ifdef'd in the test programs.
7007 + reorder some configure options, moving those extensions that have
7008 evolved from experimental status into a new section.
7009 + change configure --enable-tcap-names to enable this by default.
7012 + install tack's manpage (reported by Robert Weiner
7013 <robert@progplus.com>)
7014 + correct worm.c's handling of KEY_RESIZE (patch by Frank Heckenbach).
7015 + modify curses.h.in, undef'ing some symbols to avoid conflict with C++
7016 STL (reported by Matt Gerassimoff <mgeras@ticon.net>)
7019 + modify linux terminfo entry to indicate that dim does not mix with
7020 color (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@enteract.com>).
7021 + correct several typos in terminfo entries related to missing '['
7023 + fix several compiler warnings in c++ binding (reported by Tim
7024 Mooney for alphaev56-dec-osf4.0f
7025 + rename parameter of _nc_free_entries() to accommodate lint.
7026 + correct lint rule for tack, used incorrect list of source files.
7027 + add case to config.guess, config.sub for Rhapsody.
7028 + improve configure tests for libg++ and libstdc++ by omitting the
7029 math library (which is missing on Rhapsody), and improved test for
7030 the math library itself (adapted from path by Nelson H. F. Beebe).
7031 + explicitly initialize to zero several data items which were
7032 implicitly initialized, e.g., cur_term. If not explicitly
7033 initialized, their storage type is C (common), and causes problems
7034 linking on Rhapsody 5.5 using gcc 2.7.2.1 (reported by Nelson H. F.
7036 + modify Ada95 binding to not include the linker option for Ada
7037 bindings in the Ada headers, but in the Makefiles instead (patch by
7040 19991023 5.0 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
7041 + effective with release of 5.0, change NCURSES_VERSION_PATCH to
7043 + add function curses_version(), to return ncurses library version
7044 (request by Bob van der Poel).
7045 + remove rmam, smam from cygwin terminfo entry.
7046 + modify FreeBSD cons25 terminfo entry to add cnorm and cvvis, as well
7047 as update ncv to indicate that 'dim' conflicts with colors.
7048 + modify configure script to use symbolic links for FreeBSD shared
7049 libraries by default.
7050 + correct ranf() function in rain and worm programs to ensure it does
7052 + hide the cursor in hanoi.c if it is running automatically.
7053 + amend lrtest.c to account for optimizations that exploit margin
7055 + add a simple terminfo demo, dots.c
7056 + modify SIGINT/SIGQUIT handler to set a flag used in _nc_outch() to
7057 tell it to use write() rather than putc(), since the latter is not
7058 safe in a signal handler according to POSIX.
7059 + add/use internal macros _nc_flush() and NC_OUTPUT to hide details
7060 of output-file pointer in ncurses library.
7061 + uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS (see 971115), since they are needed for SCO
7063 + correct CC_SHARED_OPTS for building shared libraries for SCO
7065 + remove usleep() from alternatives in napms(), since it may interact
7066 with alarm(), causing a process to be interrupted by SIGALRM (with
7067 advice from Bela Lubkin).
7068 + modify terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4 to build/work with
7069 GNAT 3.10 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
7070 + remove part of CF_GPP_LIBRARY configure-script macro, which did not
7071 work with gcc 2.7.2.3
7072 + minor fix to test/tclock.c to avoid beeping more than once per second
7073 + add 's' and ' ' decoding to test/rain.c
7076 + corrected BeOS code for lib_twait.c, making nodelay() function work.
7079 + correct ncurses' value for cursor-column in PutCharLR(), which was
7080 off-by-one in one case (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
7081 + fix some minor errors in position_check() debugging code, found while
7082 using this to validate the PutCharLR() patch.
7083 + modify firework, lrtest, worm examples to be resizable, and to
7084 recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' ' for resume.
7085 + restore reverted change to terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
7086 add a note on building with gnat 3.10p to Ada95/TODO.
7087 + add a copy of the standalone configure script for the test-directory
7088 to simplify testing on SCO and Solaris.
7091 + minor fixes for _nc_msec_cost(), color_content(), pair_content(),
7092 _nc_freewin(), ClrBottom() and onscreen_mvcur() (analysis by Philippe
7093 Blain, comments by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7094 + simplify definition of PANEL and eliminate internal functions
7095 _nc_calculate_obscure(), _nc_free_obscure() and _nc_override(),
7096 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, analysis by Philippe Blain
7098 + change renaming of dft_fgbg.3x to use_default_colors.3ncurses in
7099 man_db.renames, since Debian is not concerned with 14-character
7100 filename limitation (Debian bug report by Josip Rodin
7101 <joy@cibalia.gkvk.hr>).
7102 + corrected scoansi terminfo entry by testing with scoterm and console.
7103 + revert change from 990614 to terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
7104 since this does not work for gnat 3.10p
7105 + modify tclock example to be resizable (if ncurses' sigwinch handler
7106 is used), and in color.
7107 + use $(CC) rather than 'gcc' in MK_SHARED_LIB symbols, used for Linux
7108 shared library rules.
7111 + add newer NetBSD console terminfo entries
7112 + add amiga-8bit terminfo entry (from Henning 'Faroul' Peters
7113 <Faroul@beyond.kn-bremen.de>)
7114 + remove -lcurses -ltermcap from configure script's check for the gpm
7115 library, since they are not really necessary (a properly configured
7116 gpm library has no dependency on any curses library), and if the
7117 curses library is not installed, this would cause the test to fail.
7118 + modify tic's -C option so that terminfo "use=" clauses are translated
7119 to "tc=" clauses even when running it as captoinfo.
7120 + modify CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY configure macro to perform its check only
7121 for GNU C++, since that library conflicts with SGI's libC on IRIX-6.2
7122 + modify CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro to support build on NetBSD with
7123 ELF libraries (patch by Bernd Ernesti <bernd@arresum.inka.de>).
7124 + correct a problem in libpanel, where the _nc_top_panel variable was
7125 not set properly when bottom_panel() is called to hide a panel which
7126 is the only one on the stack (report/analysis by Michael Andres
7127 <ma@suse.de>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
7130 + add acsc string to HP 70092 terminfo entry (patch by Joerg Wunsch
7131 <j@interface-business.de>).
7132 + add top-level uninstall.data and uninstall.man makefile rules.
7133 + correct logic of CF_LINK_FUNCS configure script, from BeOS changes so
7134 that hard-links work on Unix again.
7135 + change default value of cf_cv_builtin_bool to 1 (suggested by
7136 Jeremy Buhler), making it less likely that a conflicting declaration
7137 of bool will be seen when compiling with C++.
7140 + improved configure checks for builtin.h
7141 + minor changes to C++ binding (remove static initializations, and make
7142 configure-test for parameter initializations) for features not
7143 allowed by vendor's C++ compilers (reported by Martin Mokrejs, this
7144 applies to SGI, though I found SCO has the same characteristics).
7145 + corrected quoting of ETIP_xxx definitions which support old versions
7146 of g++, e.g., those using -lg++
7147 + remove 'L' code from safe_sprintf.c, since 'long double' is not
7148 widely portable. safe_sprintf.c is experimental, however, and
7149 exists mainly as a fallback for systems without snprintf (reported
7150 by Martin Mokrejs <mmokrejs@natur.cuni.cz>, for IRIX 6.2)
7151 + modify definition of _nc_tinfo_fkeys in broken-linker configuration
7152 so that it is not unnecessarily made extern (Jeffrey C Honig).
7155 + move definition for builtin.h in configure tests to specific check
7156 for libg++, since qt uses the same filename incompatibly.
7157 + correct logic of lib_termcap.c tgetstr function, which did not copy
7158 the result to the buffer parameter. Testing shows Solaris does
7159 update this, though of course tgetent's buffer is untouched (reported
7160 in Peter Edwards <peter.edwards@ireland.com> in
7161 mpc.lists.freebsd.current newsgroup.
7162 + corrected beterm terminfo entry, which lists some capabilities which
7163 are not actually provided by the BeOS Terminal.
7164 + add special logic to replace select() calls on BeOS, whose select()
7165 function works only for sockets.
7166 + correct missing escape in mkterm.h.awk.in, which caused part
7167 of the copyright noticed to be omitted (reported by Peter
7168 Wemm <peter@netplex.com.au>).
7169 > several small changes to make the c++ binding and demo work on OS/2
7170 EMX (related to a clean reinstall of EMX):
7171 + correct library-prefix for c++ binding; none is needed.
7172 + add $x suffix to make_hash and make_keys so 'make distclean' works.
7173 + correct missing $x suffix for tack, c++ demo executables.
7174 + split CF_CXX_LIBRARY into CF_GPP_LIBRARY (for -lg++) and
7175 CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY (for -lstdc++)
7178 + add cygwin terminfo entry -TD
7179 + modify CF_PROG_EXT configure macro to set .exe extension for cygwin.
7180 + add configure option --without-cxx-binding, modifying the existing
7181 --without-cxx option to check only for the C++ compiler
7182 characteristics. Whether or not the C++ binding is needed, the
7183 configure script checks for the size/type of bool, to make ncurses
7184 match. Otherwise C++ applications cannot use ncurses.
7187 + updated configure macros CF_MAKEFLAGS, CF_CHECK_ERRNO
7188 + minor corrections to beterm terminfo entry.
7189 + modify lib_setup.c to reject values of $TERM which have a '/' in
7191 + add ifdef's to guard against CS5, CS6, CS7, CS8 being zero, as more
7192 than one is on BeOS. That would break a switch statement.
7193 + add configure macro CF_LINK_FUNCS to detect and work around BeOS's
7194 nonfunctional link().
7195 + improved configure macros CF_BOOL_DECL and CF_BOOL_SIZE to detect
7196 BeOS's bool, which is declared as an unsigned char.
7199 + add ms-vt100 terminfo entry -TD
7200 + minor fixes for misc/emx.src, based on testing with tack.
7201 + minor fix for test/ncurses.c, test 'a', in case ncv is not set.
7204 + minor correction for 'screen' terminfo entry.
7205 + clarify description of errret values for setupterm in manpage.
7206 + modify tput to allow it to emit capabilities for hardcopy terminals
7207 (patch by Goran Uddeborg <goeran@uddeborg.pp.se>).
7208 + modify the 'o' (panel) test in ncurses.c to show the panels in color
7209 or at least in bold, to test Juergen's change to wrefresh().
7210 > patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
7211 + Fixes a problem using wbkgdset() with panels. It has actually
7212 nothing to with panels but is a problem in the implementation of
7213 wrefresh(). Whenever a window changes its background attribute to
7214 something different than newscr's background attribute, the whole
7215 window is touched to force a copy to newscr. This is an unwanted
7216 side-effect of wrefresh() and it is actually not necessary. A
7217 changed background attribute affects only further outputs of
7218 background it doesn't mean anything to the current content of the
7219 window. So there is no need to force a copy. (reported by Frank
7220 Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>).
7221 + an upward compatible enhancement of the NCursesPad class in the C++
7222 binding. It allows one to add a "viewport" window to a pad and then
7223 to use panning to view the pad through the viewport window.
7226 + suppress a call to def_prog_mode() in the SIGTSTP handler if the
7227 signal was received while not in curses mode, e.g., endwin() was
7228 called in preparation for spawning a shell command (reported by Frank
7229 Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
7230 + corrected/enhanced xterm-r5, xterm+sl, xterm+sl-twm terminfo entries.
7231 + change test for xterm mouse capability: it now checks only if the
7232 user's $DISPLAY variable is set in conjunction with the kmous
7233 capability being present in the terminfo. Before, it checked if any
7234 of "xterm", "rxvt" or "kterm" were substrings of the terminal name.
7235 However, some emulators which are incompatible with xterm in other
7236 ways do support the xterm mouse capability.
7237 + reviewed and made minor changes in ncurses to quiet g++ warnings
7238 about shadowed or uninitialized variables. g++ incorrectly warns
7239 about uninitialized variables because it does not take into account
7240 short-circuit expression evaluation.
7241 + change ncurses 'b' test to start in color pair 0 and to show in the
7242 right margin those attributes which are suppressed by no_color_video,
7244 + modify ifdef's in curses.h so that __attribute__ is not redefined
7245 when compiling with g++, but instead disabled the macros derived for
7246 __attribute__ since g++ does not consistently recognize the same
7247 keywords as gcc (reported by Stephan K Zitz <zitz@erf.net>).
7248 + update dependencies for term.h in ncurses/modules (reported by
7252 + modify the form demo in ncurses.c to illustrate how to manipulate the
7253 field appearance, e.g, for highlighting or translating the field
7255 + correct logic in write_entry from split-out of home_terminfo in
7256 980919, which prevented update of $HOME/.terminfo (reported by Philip
7257 Spencer <pspencer@fields.utoronto.ca>).
7260 + modify linux terminfo description to make use of kernel 2.2.x mods
7261 that support cursor style, e.g., to implement cvvis (patch by Frank
7262 Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
7263 + add special-case in setupterm to retain previously-saved terminal
7264 settings in cur_term, which happens when curses and termcap calls are
7265 mixed (from report by Bjorn Helgaas <helgaas@dhc.net>).
7266 + suppress initialization of key-tries in _nc_keypad() if we are only
7267 disabling keypad mode, e.g., in endwin() called when keypad() was
7269 + modify the Ada95 makefile to ensure that always the Ada files from
7270 the development tree are used for building and not the eventually
7271 installed ones (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
7274 + use TTY definition in tack/sysdep.c rather than struct termios
7275 (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
7276 + add a fallback for strstr, used in lib_mvcur.c and tack/edit.c,
7277 not present on sysV68 (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
7278 + correct definition in comp_hash.c to build with configure
7279 --with-rcs-ids option.
7282 + modified ifdef's for sigaction and sigvec to ensure we do not try to
7283 handle SIGTSTP if neither is available (from report by Philippe De
7285 > patch by Philippe De Muyter:
7286 + in tic.c, use `unlink' if `remove' is not available.
7287 + use only `unsigned' as fallback value for `speed_t'. Some files used
7291 + fix some compiler warnings in tack.
7292 + add a check for predefined bool type in CC, based on report that
7293 BeOS predefines a bool type.
7294 + correct logic for infocmp -e option, i.e., the configure
7295 --with-fallbacks option, which I'd not updated when implementing
7296 extended names (cf: 990301). The new implementation adds a "-E"
7297 option to infocmp -TD
7298 > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7299 + introduce the private type Curses_Bool in the Ada95 binding
7300 implementation. This is to clearly represent the use of "bool" also
7301 in the binding. It should have no effect on the generated code.
7302 + improve the man page for field_buffer() to tell the people, that the
7303 whole buffer including leading/trailing spaces is returned. This is
7304 a common source of confusion, so it's better to document it clearly.
7307 > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7308 + use pragma PreElaborate in several places.
7309 + change a few System.Address uses to more specific types.
7310 + change interface version-number to 1.0
7311 + regenerate Ada95 HTML files.
7314 + modify lib_endwin.c to avoid calling reset_shell_mode(), return ERR
7315 if it appears that curses was never initialized, e.g., by initscr().
7316 For instance, this guards against setting the terminal modes to
7317 strange values if endwin() is called after setupterm(). In the same
7318 context, Solaris curses will dump core.
7319 + modify logic that avoids a conflict in lib_vidattr.c between sgr0 and
7320 equivalent values in rmso or rmul by ensuring we do not modify the
7321 data which would be returned by the terminfo or termcap interfaces
7322 (reported by Brad Pepers <brad@linuxcanada.com>, cf: 960706).
7323 + add a null-pointer check for SP in lib_vidattr.c to logic that checks
7325 + improve fallback declaration of 'bool' when the --without-cxx option
7326 is given, by using a 'char' on i386 and related hosts (prompted by
7327 discussion with Alexander V Lukyanov).
7330 + include time.h in lib_napms.c if nanosleep is used (patch by
7331 R Lindsay Todd <toddr@rpi.edu>).
7332 + add an "#undef bool" to curses.h, in case someone tries to define it,
7334 + add check to tparm to guard against divide by zero (reported by Aaron
7335 Campbell <aaron@ug.cs.dal.ca>).
7338 + minor fix to build tack on CLIX (mismatched const).
7339 > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7340 + change Juergen's old email address with new one in the files where it
7341 is referenced. The Ada95 HTML pages are regenerated.
7342 + update MANIFEST to list the tack files.
7345 + minor fixes to make 'tack' build/link on NeXT (reported by Francisco
7349 + add 'tack' program (which is GPL'd), updating it to work with the
7350 modified TERMTYPE struct and making a fix to support setaf/setab
7351 capabilities. Note that the tack program is not part of the
7352 ncurses libraries, but an application which can be distributed with
7353 ncurses. The configure script will ignore the directory if it is
7355 + modify gpm mouse support so that buttons 2 and 3 are used for
7356 select/paste only when shift key is pressed, making them available
7357 for use by an application (patch by Klaus Weide).
7358 + add complete list of function keys to scoansi terminfo entry - TD
7361 + add a simple test program cardfile.c to illustrate how to read form
7362 fields, and showing forms within panels.
7363 + change shared-library versioning for the Hurd to be like Linux rather
7364 than *BSD (patch by Mark Kettenis <kettenis@wins.uva.nl>).
7365 + add linux-lat terminfo entry.
7366 + back-out _nc_access check in read_termcap.c (both incorrect and
7367 unnecessary, except to guard against a small window where the file's
7368 ownership may change).
7371 + remove conflicting _nc_free_termtype() function from test module
7373 + use _nc_access check in read_termcap.c for termpaths[] array (noted
7374 by Jeremy Buhler, indicating that Alan Cox made a similar patch).
7375 > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7376 + modify menu creation to not inherit status flag from the default menu
7377 which says that the associated marker string has been allocated and
7378 should be freed (bug reported by Marek Paliwoda"
7379 <paliwoda@kki.net.pl>)
7381 990327 pre-release (alpha.gnu.org:/gnu/ncurses-5.0-beta1.tar.gz)
7382 + minor fixes to xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry - TD.
7383 + split up an expression in configure script check for ldconfig to
7384 workaround limitation of BSD/OS sh (reported by Jeff Haas
7385 <jmh@mail.msen.com>).
7386 + correct a typo in man/form_hook.3x (Todd C Miller).
7389 + parenthesize and undef 'index' symbol in c++ binding and demo, to
7390 accommodate its definition on NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei
7392 + add sigismember() to base/sigaction.c compatibility to link on NeXT
7393 (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
7394 + further refinements to inequality in hashmap.c to cover a case with
7395 ^U in nvi (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7398 + add fallback definition for getcwd, to link on NeXT.
7399 + add a copy of cur_term to tic.c to make it link properly on NeXT
7400 (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
7401 + change inequality in hashmap.c which checks the distance traveled by
7402 a chunk so that ^D command in nvi (scrolls 1/2 screen) will use
7403 scrolling logic (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov, reported by Jeffrey
7407 + modify lib_color.c to handle a special case where the curscr
7408 attributes have been made obsolete (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7409 + update BSD/OS console terminfo entries to use klone+sgr and
7410 klone+color (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
7411 + update glibc addon configure script for extended capabilities.
7412 + correct a couple of warnings in the --enable-const configuration.
7413 + make comp_hash build properly with _nc_strdup(), on NeXT (reported by
7414 Francisco A. Tomei Torres <francisco.tomei@cwix.com>).
7417 + correct typos in linux-c initc string - TD
7418 + add 'crt' terminfo entry, update xterm-xfree86 entry - TD
7419 + remove a spurious argument to tparm() in lib_sklrefr.c (patch by
7420 Alexander V Lukyanov).
7423 + back-out change to wgetch because it causes a problem with ^Z
7424 handling in lynx (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
7427 + add -G option to tic and infocmp, to reverse the "-g" option.
7428 + recode functions in name_match.c to avoid use of strncpy, which
7429 caused a 4-fold slowdown in tic (cf: 980530).
7430 + correct a few warnings about sign-extension in recent changes.
7431 > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7432 + fixes suggested by Jeff Bradbury <jibradbury@lucent.com>:
7433 + improved parameter checking in new_fieldtype().
7434 + fixed a typo in wgetch() timeout handling.
7435 + allow slk_init() to be called per newterm call. The internal SLK
7436 state is stored in the SCREEN struct after every newterm() and then
7437 reset for the next newterm.
7438 + fix the problem that a slk_refresh() refreshes stdscr if the
7439 terminal has true SLKs.
7440 + update HTML documentation for Ada binding.
7443 + remove 'bool' casts from definitions of TRUE/FALSE so that statements
7444 such as "#if TRUE" work. This was originally done to allow for a C++
7445 compiler which would warn of implicit conversions between enum and
7446 int, but is not needed for g++ (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
7447 + add use_extended_names() function to allow applications to suppress
7448 read of the extended capabilities.
7449 + add configure option --enable-tcap-names to support logic which
7450 allows ncurses' tic to define new (i.e., extended) terminal
7451 capabilities. This is activated by the tic -x switch. The infocmp
7452 program automatically shows or compares extended capabilities.
7453 Note: This changes the Strings and similar arrays in the TERMTYPE
7454 struct so that applications which manipulate it must be recompiled.
7455 + use macros typeMalloc, typeCalloc and typeRealloc consistently
7456 throughout ncurses library.
7457 + add _nc_strdup() to doalloc.c.
7458 + modify define_key() to allow multiple strings to be bound to the
7460 + correct logic error in _nc_remove_string, from 990220.
7461 > patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
7462 + regenerate some of the html documentation
7463 + minor cleanup in terminal_interface-curses.adb
7466 + resolve ambiguity of kend/kll/kslt and khome/kfnd/kich1 strings in
7467 xterm and ncsa terminfo entries by removing the unneeded ones. Note
7468 that some entries will return kend & khome versus kslt and kfnd, for
7469 PC-style keyboards versus strict vt220 compatiblity - TD
7470 + add function keybound(), which returns the definition associated with
7472 + modify define_key() to undefine the given string when no keycode is
7474 + modify keyok() so it works properly if there is more than one string
7475 defined for a keycode.
7476 + add check to tic to warn about terminfo descriptions that contain
7477 more than one key assigned to the same string. This is shown only if
7478 the verbose (-v) option is given. Moved related logic (tic -v) from
7479 comp_parse.c into the tic program.
7480 + add/use _nc_trace_tries() to show the function keys that will be
7482 + rename init_acs to _nc_init_acs (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7483 > patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
7484 + remove all the *_adabind.c from ncurses, menu and form projects.
7485 Those little helper routines have all been implemented in Ada and are
7487 + The option handling routines in menu and form have been made more
7488 save. They now make sure that the unused bits in options are always
7490 + modify configuration scripts to
7491 + use gnatmake as default compiler name. This is a safer choice than
7492 gcc, because some GNAT implementations use other names for the
7493 compilerdriver to avoid conflicts.
7494 + use new default installation locations for the Ada files according
7495 to the proposed GNU Ada filesystem standard (for Linux).
7496 + simplify the Makefiles for the Ada binding
7497 + rename ada_include directory to src.
7500 + enable sigwinch handler by default.
7501 + disable logic that allows setbuf to be turned off/on, because some
7502 implementations will overrun the buffer after it has been disabled
7506 + suppress sc/rc capabilities from terminal description if they appear
7507 in smcup/rmcup. This affects only scrolling optimization, to fix a
7508 problem reported by several people with xterm's alternate screen,
7509 though the problem is more general.
7510 > patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
7511 + removed all pragma Preelaborate() stuff, because the just released
7512 gnat-3.11p complains on some constructs.
7513 + fixed some upper/lower case notations because gnat-3.11p found
7515 + used a new method to generate the HTML documentation of the Ada95
7516 binding. This invalidates nearly the whole ./Ada95/html subtree.
7517 Nearly all current files in this subtree are removed
7520 + cache last result from _nc_baudrate, for performance (suggested by
7521 Alexander V Lukyanov).
7522 + modify ClrUpdate() function to workaround a problem in nvi, which
7523 uses redrawwin in SIGTSTP handling. Jeffrey C Honig reported that
7524 ncurses repainted the screen with nulls before resuming normal
7525 operation (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7526 + generalize is_xterm() function a little by letting xterm/rxvt/kterm
7527 be any substring rather than the prefix.
7528 + modify lib_data.c to initialize SP. Some linkers, e.g., IBM's, will
7529 not link a module if the only symbols exported from the module are
7530 uninitialized ones (patch by Ilya Zakharevich). Ilya says that he
7531 has seen messages claiming this behavior conforms to the standard.)
7532 + move call on _nc_signal_handler past _nc_initscr, to avoid a small
7533 window where Nttyb hasn't yet been filled (reported by Klaus Weide).
7534 + modify lib_tstp.c to block SIGTTOU when handling SIGTSTP, fixes a
7535 problem where ncurses applications which were run via a shell script
7536 would hang when given a ^Z. Also, check if the terminal's process
7537 group is consistent, i.e., a shell has not taken ownership of it,
7538 before deciding to save the current terminal settings in the SIGTSTP
7539 handler (patch by Klaus Weide).
7540 + correct spelling of ACS_ names in curs_border.3x (reported by Bob van
7541 der Poel <bvdpoel@kootenay.com>).
7542 + correct a couple of typos in the macros supporting the configure
7543 --with-shlib-version option.
7546 + modify fty_regex.c to compile on HAVE_REGEXPR_H_FUNCS machine (patch
7547 by Kimio Ishii <ishii@csl.sony.co.jp>).
7548 + rename BSDI console terminfo entries: bsdos to bsdos-pc-nobold, and
7549 bsdos-bold to bsdos-pc (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
7550 + modify tput to accept termcap names as an alternative to terminfo
7551 names (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
7552 + correct a typo in term.7 (Todd C Miller).
7553 + add configure --with-shlib-version option to allow installing shared
7554 libraries named according to release or ABI versions. This
7555 parameterizes some existing logic in the configure script, and is
7556 intended for compatiblity upgrades on Digital Unix, which used
7557 versioned libraries in ncurses 4.2, but no longer does (cf: 980425).
7558 + resync configure script against autoconf 2.13 + patches
7559 + minor improvements for teraterm terminfo entry based on the program's
7560 source distribution.
7563 + change default for configure --enable-big-core to assume machines do
7564 have enough memory to resolve terminfo.src in-memory.
7565 + correct name of ncurses library in TEST_ARGS when configuring with
7567 + minor fixes to compile ncurses library with broken-linker with g++.
7568 + add --enable-broken-linker configure option, default to environment
7569 variable $BROKEN_LINKER (request by Jeffrey C Honig).
7570 + change key_names[] array to static since it is not part of the curses
7571 interface (reported by Jeffrey C Honig <jch@bsdi.com>).
7574 + add Tera Term terminfo entry - TD
7577 + reviewed/corrected macros in curses.h as per XSI document.
7578 + provide support for termcap PC variable by copying it from terminfo
7579 data and using it as the padding character in tputs (reported by
7580 Alexander V Lukyanov).
7581 + corrected iris-ansi and iris-ansi-ap terminfo entries for kent and
7582 kf9-kf12 capabilities, as well as adding kcbt.
7583 + document the mouse handling mechanism in menu_driver and make a small
7584 change in menu_driver's return codes to provide more consistency
7585 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
7586 + add fallback definition for NCURSES_CONST to termcap.h.in (reported
7587 by Uchiyama Yasushi <uch@nop.or.jp>).
7588 + move lib_restart.c to ncurses/base, since it uses curses functions
7589 directly, and therefore cannot be used in libtinfo.so
7590 + rename micro_char_size to micro_col_size, adding #define to retain
7592 + add set_a_attributes and set_pglen_inch to terminfo structure, as per
7593 XSI and Solaris 2.5.
7594 + minor makefile files to build ncurses test_progs
7595 + update html files in misc directory to reflect changes since 4.2
7598 + disable scroll hints when hashmap is enabled (patch by Alexander
7600 + move logic for tic's verify of -e option versus -I and -C so that the
7601 terminfo data is not processed if we cannot handle -e (reported by
7602 Steven Schwartz <steves@unitrends.com>.
7603 + add test-driver traces to terminfo and termcap functions.
7604 + provide support for termcap ospeed variable by copying it from the
7605 internal cur_term member, and using ospeed as the baudrate reference
7606 for the delay_output and tputs functions. If an application does not
7607 set ospeed, the library behaves as before, except that _nc_timed_wait
7608 is no longer used, or needed, since ospeed always has a value. But
7609 the application can modify ospeed to adjust the output of padding
7610 characters (prompted by a bug report for screen 3.7.6 and email from
7611 Michael Schroeder <Michael.Schroeder@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>).
7612 + removed some unused ifdef's as part of Alexander's restructuring.
7613 + reviewed/updated curses.h, term.h against X/Open Curses Issue 4
7614 Version 2. This includes making some parameters NCURSES_CONST
7615 rather than const, e.g., in termcap.h.
7616 + change linux terminfo entry to use ncv#2, since underline does not
7620 + miscellaneous corrections for curses.h to match XSI.
7621 + change --enable-no-padding configure option to be normally enabled.
7622 + add section to ncurses manpage for environment variables.
7623 + investigated Debian bug report that pertains to screen 3.7.4/3.7.6
7624 changes, found no sign of problems on Linux (or on SunOS, Solaris)
7625 running screen built with ncurses.
7626 + check if tmp_fp is opened in tic.c before closing it (patch by Pavel
7627 Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>).
7628 + correct several font specification typos in man-pages.
7631 + correct default value for BUILD_CC (reported by Larry Virden).
7634 + modify _nc_set_writedir() to set a flag in _nc_tic_dir() to prevent
7635 it from changing the terminfo directory after chdir'ing to it.
7636 Otherwise, a relative path in $TERMINFO would confuse tic (prompted
7637 by a Debian bug report).
7638 + correct/update ncsa terminfo entry (report by Larry Virden).
7639 + update xterm-xfree86 terminfo to current (patch 90), smcur/rmcur
7641 + add Mathew Vernon's mach console entries to terminfo.src
7642 + more changes, moving functions, as part of Alexander's restructuring.
7643 + modify configure script for GNU/Hurd share-library support, introduce
7644 BUILD_CC variable for cross compiling (patch by Uchiyama Yasushi
7648 + add environment variable NCURSES_NO_SETBUF to allow disabling the
7649 setbuf feature, for testing purposes.
7650 + correct ifdef's for termcap.h versus term.h that suppress redundant
7651 declarations of prototypes (reported by H.J.Lu).
7652 + modify Makefile.os2 to add linker flags which allow multiple copies
7653 of an application to coexist (reported by Ilya Zakharevich).
7654 + update Makefile.glibc and associated configure script so that ncurses
7655 builds as a glibc add-on with the new directory configuration
7656 (reported by H.J.Lu).
7659 + modify gen_reps() function in gen.c to work properly on SunOS
7660 (sparc), which is a left-to-right architecture.
7661 + modify relative_move and tputs to avoid an interaction with the
7662 BSD-style padding. The relative_move function could produce a string
7663 to replace on the screen which began with a numeric character, which
7664 was then interpreted by tputs as padding. Now relative_move will not
7665 generate a string with a leading digit in that case (overwrite).
7666 Also, tputs will only interpret padding if the string begins with a
7667 digit; as coded it permitted a string to begin with a decimal point
7668 or asterisk (reported by Larry Virden).
7669 > patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
7670 + fix a typo in m_driver.c mouse handling and improves the error
7672 + fix broken mouse handling in the Ada95 binding
7673 + make the Ada95 sample application menus work with the new menu mouse
7675 + improve the mouse handling introduced by Ilya; it now handles menus
7677 + repair a minor bug in the menu_driver code discovered during this
7679 + add new function wmouse_trafo() to hide implementation details of
7680 _yoffset member of WINDOW struct needed for mouse coordinate
7684 + modify Ada95/gen/gen.c to avoid using return-value of sprintf, since
7685 some older implementations (e.g., SunOS 4.x) return the buffer
7686 address rather than its length.
7687 > patch by Rick Ohnemus:
7688 + modify demo.cc to get it to compile with newer versions of egcs.
7689 + trim a space that appears at the end of the table preprocessor lines
7690 ('\" t). This space prevents some versions of man from displaying
7691 the pages - changed to remove all trailing whitespace (TD)
7692 + finally, 'make clean' does not remove panel objects.
7693 > patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
7694 + allow remapping of OS/2 mouse buttons using environment variable
7695 MOUSE_BUTTONS_123 with the default value 132.
7696 + add mouse support to ncurses menus.
7699 + modify misc/makedef.cmd to report old-style .def file symbols, and to
7700 generate the .def files sorted by increasing names rather than the
7702 + add misc/*.ref which are J.J.G.Ripoll's dll definition files (renamed
7703 from misc/*.old), and updated based on the entrypoint coding he used
7704 for an older version of ncurses.
7705 + add README.emx, to document how to build on OS/2 EMX.
7706 + updates for config.guess, config.sub from Lynx
7707 > patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
7708 + minor fixes for mouse handling mode:
7709 a) Do not initialize mouse if the request is to have no mouse;
7710 b) Allow switching of OS/2 VIO mouse on and off.
7711 + modify Makefile.os2 to support alternative means of generating
7712 configure script, by translating Unix script with Perl.
7713 > patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
7714 + Updates MANIFEST to reflect changes in source structure
7715 + Eliminates a problem introduced with my last patch for the C++
7716 binding in the panels code. It removes the update() call done in the
7718 + Changes in the Ada95 binding to better support systems where
7719 sizeof(chtype)!=sizeof(int) (e.g. DEC Alpha).
7722 + modify install-script for manpages to skip over .orig and .rej files
7723 (request by Larry Virden).
7724 > patches/discussion by Alexander V Lukyanov:
7725 + move base-library sources into ncurses/base and tty (serial terminal)
7726 sources into ncurses/tty, as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's proposed
7727 changes to ncurses library.
7728 + copy _tracemouse() into ncurses.c so that lib_tracemse.c need not
7729 be linked into the normal ncurses library.
7730 + move macro winch to a function, to hide details of struct ldat
7731 > patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
7732 + fix a potential compile problem in cursesw.cc
7733 + some Ada95 cosmetics
7734 + fix a gen.c problem when compiling on 64-Bit machines
7735 + fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in "-L" linker switch
7736 + modify Ada95 makefiles to use the INSTALL_PREFIX setting.
7739 + ifdef'd out lib_freeall.c when not configured.
7740 + rename _tracebits() to _nc_tracebits().
7741 + move terminfo-library sources into ncurses/tinfo, and trace-support
7742 functions into ncurses/trace as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's
7743 proposed changes to ncurses library.
7744 + modify generated term.h to always specify its own definitions for
7745 HAVE_TERMIOS_H, etc., to guard against inclusion by programs with
7746 broken configure scripts.
7749 + modify terminfo parsing to accept octal and hexadecimal constants,
7751 + remove an autoconf 2.10 artifact from the configure script's check
7752 for "-g" compiler options. (Though harmless, this confused someone
7753 at Debian, who recently issued a patch that results in the opposite
7755 + add configure option --with-ada-compiler to accommodate installations
7756 that do not use gcc as the driver for GNAT (patch by Juergen
7760 + ensure ./man exists in configure script, needed when configuring
7761 with --srcdir option.
7762 + modify infocmp "-r" option to remove limit on formatted termcap
7763 output, which makes it more like Solaris' version.
7764 + modify captoinfo to treat no-argument case more like Solaris'
7765 version, which uses the contents of $TERMCAP as the entry to format.
7766 + modify mk-2nd.awk to handle subdirectories, e.g., ncurses/tty
7767 (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7770 + modify --with-terminfo-dirs option so that the default value is the
7771 ${datadir} value, unless $TERMINFO_DIRS is already set. This gets
7772 rid of a hardcoded list of candidate directories in the configure
7774 + add some error-checking to _nc_read_file_entry() to ensure that
7775 strings are properly terminated (Todd C Miller).
7776 + rename manpage file curs_scr_dmp.3x to curs_scr_dump.3x, to
7777 correspond with contents (reported by Neil Zanella
7778 <nzanella@cs.mun.ca>).
7779 + remove redundant configure check for C++ which did not work when $CXX
7780 was specified with a full pathname (reported by Andreas Jaeger).
7781 + corrected bcopy/memmove check; the macro was not standalone.
7784 + remove unnecessary portion of OS/2 EMX mouse change from
7785 check_pending() (reported by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7788 + implement mouse support for OS/2 EMX (adapted from patch against
7789 4.2(?) by Ilya Zakharevich).
7790 + add configure-check for bcopy/memmove, for 980919 changes to hashmap.
7791 + merge Data General terminfo from Hasufin <hasufin@vidnet.net> - TD
7792 + merge AIX 3.2.5 terminfo descriptions for IBM terminals, replaces
7793 some older entries - TD
7794 + modify tic to compile into %'char' form in preference to %{number},
7795 since that is a little more efficient.
7796 + minor correction to infocmp to avoid displaying "difference" between
7797 two capabilities that are rendered in equivalent forms.
7798 + add "-g" option to tic/infocmp to force character constants to be
7799 displayed in quoted form. Otherwise their decimal values are shown.
7800 + modify setupterm so that cancelled strings are treated the same as
7801 absent strings, cancelled and absent booleans false (does not affect
7803 + modify tic, infocmp to discard redundant i3, r3 strings when output
7805 > patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
7806 + improve performance of tparm, now it takes 19% instead of 25% when
7808 + rename maxlen/minlen to prec/width for better readability.
7809 + use format string for printing strings.
7810 + use len argument correctly in save_text, and pass it to save_number.
7813 + make test_progs compile (but hashmap does not function).
7814 + correct NC_BUFFERED macro, used in lib_mvcur test-driver, modify
7815 associated logic to avoid freeing the SP->_setbuf data.
7816 + add modules home_terminfo and getenv_num to libtinfo.
7817 + move write_entry to libtinfo, to work with termcap caching.
7818 + minor fixes to blue.c to build with atac.
7819 + remove softscroll.c module; no longer needed for testing.
7820 > patches by Todd C Miller:
7821 + use strtol(3) instead of atoi(3) when parsing env variables so we can
7822 detect a bogus (non-numeric) value.
7823 + check for terminal names > MAX_NAME_SIZE in a few more places when
7824 dealing with env variables again.
7825 + fix a MAX_NAME_SIZE that should be MAX_NAME_SIZE+1
7826 + use sizeof instead of strlen(3) on PRIVATE_INFO since it is a fixed
7827 string #define (compile time vs runtime).
7828 + when setting errno to ENOMEM, set it right before the return, not
7829 before code that could, possibly, set errno to a different value.
7830 > patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
7831 + use default background in update_cost_from_blank()
7832 + disable scroll-hints when hashmap is configured.
7833 + improve integration of hashmap scrolling code, by adding oldhash and
7834 newhash data to SP struct.
7835 + invoke del_curterm from delscreen.
7836 + modify del_curterm to set cur_term to null if it matches the
7837 function's parameter which is deleted.
7838 + modify lib_doupdate to prefer parm_ich to the enter_insert_mode and
7839 exit_insert_mode combination, adjusting InsCharCost to check
7840 enter_insert_mode, exit_insert_mode and insert_padding. Add
7841 insert_padding in insert mode after each char. This adds new costs
7845 + modify test-driver in lib_mvcur.s to use _nc_setbuffer, for
7846 consistent treatment.
7847 + modify ncurses to restore output to unbuffered on endwin, and resume
7848 buffering in refresh (see lib_set_term.c and NC_BUFFERED macro).
7849 + corrected HTML version numbers (according to the W3C validator, they
7850 never were HTML 2.0-compliant, but are acceptable 3.0).
7853 + modify MKterminfo.sh to generate terminfo.5 with tables sorted by
7854 capability name, as in SVr4.
7855 + modified term.h, termcap.h headers to avoid redundant declarations.
7856 + change 'u_int' type in tset.c to unsigned, making this compile on
7857 Sequent PRX 4.1 (reported by Michael Sterrett <msterret@coat.com>).
7860 + corrections to mailing addresses, and moving the magic line that
7861 causes the man program to invoke tbl to the first line of each
7862 manpage (patch by Rick Ohnemus <rick@ecompcon.com>).
7863 + add Makefile.os2 and supporting scripts to generate dll's on OS/2 EMX
7864 (from J.J.G.Ripoll, with further integration by TD).
7865 + correct a typo in icl6404 terminfo entry.
7866 + add xtermm and xtermc terminfo entries.
7867 > from esr's terminfo version:

7870 + Add ncsa-ns, ncsa-m-ns and ncsa-m entries from esr version.
7873 + document AT&T acs characters in terminfo.5 manpage.
7874 + use EMX _scrsize() function if terminfo and environment do not
7875 declare the screen size (reported by Ilya Zakharevich
7876 <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>).
7877 + remove spurious '\' characters from eterm and osborne terminfo
7878 entries (prompted by an old Debian bug report).
7879 + correct reversed malloc/realloc calls in _nc_doalloc (reported by
7880 Hans-Joachim Widmaier <hjwidmai@foxboro.com>).
7881 + correct misplaced parenthesis which caused file-descriptor from
7882 opening termcap to be lost, from 980725 changes (reported by Andreas
7886 + modify lib_setup.c to eliminate unneeded include of <sys/ioctl.h>
7887 when termios is not used (patch by Todd C Miller).

7900 + add NCSA telnet terminfo entries from Francesco Potorti
7901 <F.Potorti@cnuce.cnr.it>, from Debian bug reports.
7902 + make handling of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables more compatible with
7903 Solaris by allowing them to individually override the window size
7904 as obtained via ioctl.
7907 + modify lib_vidattr.c to allow for terminal types (e.g., xterm-color)
7908 which may reset all attributes in the 'op' capability, so that colors
7909 are set before turning on bold and other attributes, but still after
7910 turning attributes off.
7911 + add 'ditto.c' to test directory to illustrate use of newterm for
7912 initializing multiple screens.
7913 + modify _nc_write_entry() to recover from failed attempt to link alias
7914 for a terminfo on a filesystem which does not preserve character case
7915 (reported by Peter L Jordan <PJordan@chla.usc.edu>).
7918 + updated versions of config.guess and config.sub based on automake 1.3
7919 + change name-comparisons in lib_termcap to compare no more than 2
7920 characters (gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8, verified
7921 with Solaris curses).
7922 + fix typo in curs_insstr.3x (patch by Todd C Miller)
7923 + use 'access()' to check if ncurses library should be permitted to
7924 open or modify files with fopen/open/link/unlink/remove calls, in
7925 case the calling application is running in setuid mode (request by
7926 Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>, responding to Duncan Simpson
7927 <dps@io.stargate.co.uk>).
7928 + arm100 terminfo entries from Dave Millen <dmill@globalnet.co.uk>).
7929 + qnxt2 and minitel terminfo entries from esr's version.
7932 + use -R option with ldconfig on FreeBSD because otherwise it resets
7933 the search path to /usr/lib (reported by Dan Nelson).
7934 + add -soname option when building shared libraries on OpenBSD 2.x
7935 (request by QingLong).
7936 + add configure options --with-manpage-format and
7937 --with-manpage-renames (request by QingLong).
7938 + correct conversion of CANCELLED_NUMERIC in write_object(), which was
7939 omitting the high-order byte, producing a 254 in the compiled
7941 + modify return-values of tgetflag, tgetnum, tgetstr, tigetflag,
7942 tigetnum and tigetstr to be compatible with Solaris (gleaned from
7943 Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8).
7944 + modify _nc_syserr_abort to abort only when compiled for debugging,
7945 otherwise simply exit with an error.
7948 + modify Ada95 'gen' program to use appropriate library suffix (e.g.,
7949 "_g" for a debug build).
7950 + update Ada95 'make clean' rule to include generics .ali files
7951 + add a configure test to ensure that if GNAT is found, that it can
7952 compile/link working Ada95 program.
7953 + flush output in beep and flash functions, fixing a problem with
7954 getstr (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov)
7955 + fix egcs 1.0.2 warning for etip.h (patch by Chris Johns).
7956 + correct ifdef/brace nesting in lib_sprintf.c (patch by Bernhard
7957 Rosenkraenzer <bero@Pool.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE>).
7958 + correct typo in wattr_get macro from 980509 fixes (patch by Dan
7962 + merge changes from current XFree86 xterm terminfo descriptions.
7963 + add configure option '--without-ada'.
7964 + add a smart-default for termcap 'ac' to terminfo 'acs_chars' which
7965 corresponds to vt100.
7966 + change translation for termcap 'rs' to terminfo 'rs2', which is
7967 the documented equivalent, rather than 'rs1'.
7970 + slow 'worm' down a little, for very fast machines.
7971 + corrected firstchar/lastchar computation in lib_hline.c
7972 + simplify some expressions with CHANGED_CELL, CHANGED_RANGE and
7973 CHANGED_TO_EOL macros.
7974 + modify init_pair so that if a color-pair is reinitialized, we will
7975 repaint the areas of the screen whose color changes, like SVr4 curses
7976 (reported by Christian Maurer <maurer@inf.fu-berlin.de>).
7977 + modify getsyx/setsyx macros to comply with SVr4 man-page which
7978 says that leaveok() affects their behavior (report by Darryl Miles,
7979 patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7982 + review terminfo.5 against Solaris 2.6 curses version, corrected
7983 several minor errors/omissions.
7984 + implement tparm %l format.
7985 + implement tparm printf-style width and precision for %s, %d, %x, %o
7987 + implement tparm dynamic variables (reported by Xiaodan Tang).
7990 + update man-page for for wattr_set, wattr_get (cf: 980509)
7991 + correct limits in hashtest, which would cause nonprinting characters
7992 to be written to large screens.
7993 + correct configure script, when --without-cxx was specified: the
7994 wrong variable was used for cf_cv_type_of_bool. Compilers up to gcc
7995 2.8 tolerated the missing 'int'.
7996 + remove the hardcoded name "gcc" for the GNU Ada compiler. The
7997 compiler's name might be something like "egcs" (patch by Juergen
7999 + correct curs_addch.3x, which implied that echochar could directly
8000 display control characters (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
8001 + fix typos in ncurses-intro.html (patch by Sidik Isani
8002 <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
8005 + add configure test for conflicting use of exception in math.h and
8007 + minor optimization to 'hash()' function in hashmap.c, reduces its
8009 + correct form of LD_SHARED_OPTS for HP-UX 10.x (patch by Tim Mooney).
8010 + fix missing quotes for 'print' in MKunctrl.awk script (reported by
8011 Mihai Budiu <mihaib@gs41.sp.cs.cmu.edu>).
8012 > patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
8013 + correct problem on Solaris (with poll() function) where getch could
8014 hang indefinitely even if timeout(x) was called. This turned out to
8015 be because milliseconds was not updated before 'goto retry' in
8017 + simplified the function _nc_timed_wait and fixed another bug, which
8018 was the assumption of !GOOD_SELECT && HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY in *timeleft
8020 + removed the cycle on EINTR, as it seems to be useless.
8023 + add makefile-rule for test/keynames
8024 + modify run_tic.sh and shlib to ensure that user's .profile does not
8025 override the $PATH used to run tic (patch by Tim Mooney).
8026 + restore LD_SHARED_OPTS to $(LD_SHARED_FLAGS) when linking programs,
8027 needed for HP-UX shared-library path (recommended by Tim Mooney).
8028 + remove special case of HP-UX -L options, use +b options to embed
8029 $(libdir) in the shared libraries (recommended by Tim Mooney).
8030 + add checks for some possible buffer overflows and unchecked
8031 malloc/realloc/calloc/strdup return values (patch by Todd C Miller
8032 <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com>)
8035 + correct maxx/maxy expression for num_columns/num_lines in derwin
8036 (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
8037 + add /usr/share/lib/terminfo and /usr/lib/terminfo as compatibilty
8038 fallbacks to _nc_read_entry(), along with --with-terminfo-dirs
8039 configure option (suggested by Mike Hopkirk).
8040 + modify config.guess to recognize Unixware 2.1 and 7 (patch by Mike
8041 Hopkirk <hops@sco.com>).
8042 + suppress definition of CC_SHARED_OPTS in LDFLAGS_SHARED in c++
8043 Makefile.in, since this conflicts when g++ is used with HP-UX
8044 compiler (reported by Tim Mooney).
8045 + parenthesize 'strcpy' calls in c++ binding to workaround redefinition
8046 in some C++ implementations (reported by several people running
8047 egcs with glibc 2.0.93, analysis by Andreas Jaeger.
8050 + modify write_entry.c so that it will not attempt to link aliases
8051 with embedded '/', but give only a warning.
8052 + put -L$(libdir) first when linking programs, except for HP-UX.
8053 + modify comp_scan.c to handle SVr4 terminfo description for att477,
8054 which contains a colon in the description field.
8055 + modify configure script to support SCO osr5.0.5 shared libraries,
8056 from comp.unix.sco.programmer newsgroup item (Mike Hopkirk).
8057 + eliminate extra GoTo call in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
8059 + minor adjustments of const/NCURSES_CONST from IRIX compile.
8060 + add updates based on esr's 980509 version of terminfo.src.
8063 + correct macros for wattr_set, wattr_get, separate wattrset macro from
8064 these to preserve behavior that allows attributes to be combined with
8066 + add configure option --enable-no-padding, to allow environment
8067 variable $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to eliminate non-mandatory padding,
8068 thereby making terminal emulators (e.g., for vt100) a little more
8069 efficient (request by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
8070 + modify configure script to embed ABI in shared libraries for HP-UX
8071 10.x (detailed request by Tim Mooney).
8072 + add test/example of the 'filter()' function.
8073 + add nxterm and xterm-color terminfo description (request by Cristian
8074 Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>).
8075 + modify rxvt terminfo description to clear alternate screen before
8076 switching back to normal screen, for compatibility with applications
8077 which use xterm (reported by Manoj Kasichainula <manojk@io.com>).
8078 + modify linux terminfo description to reset color palette (reported
8079 by Telford Tendys <telford@eng.uts.edu.au>).
8080 + correction to doupdate, for case where terminal does not support
8081 insert/delete character. The logic did not check that there was a
8082 difference in alignment of changes to old/new screens before
8083 repainting the whole non-blank portion of the line. Modified to fall
8084 through into logic that reduces by the portion which does not differ
8085 (reported by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
8086 + minor performance improvement to wnoutrefresh by moving some
8087 comparisons out of inner loop.
8090 + modify configure script to substitute NCURSES_CONST in curses.h
8091 + updated terminfo entries for xterm-xf86-v40, xterm-16color,
8092 xterm-8bit to correspond to XFree86 3.9Ag.
8093 + remove restriction that forces ncurses to use setaf/setab if the
8094 number of colors is greater than 8. (see 970524 for xterm-16color).
8095 + change order of -L options (so that $(libdir) is searched first) when
8096 linking tic and other programs, to workaround HP's linker.
8097 Otherwise, the -L../lib is embedded when linking against shared
8098 libraries and the installed program does not run (reported by Ralf
8100 + modify configuration of shared libraries on Digital Unix so that
8101 versioning is embedded in the library, rather than implied by
8102 links (patch by Tim Mooney).
8105 + modify etip.h to avoid conflict with math.h on HP-UX 9.03 with gcc
8106 2.8.1 which redefines 'exception' (reported by Ralf Hildebrandt
8107 <R.Hildebrandt@tu-bs.de>).
8108 + correct configure tests in CF_SHARED_OPTS which used $CC value to
8109 check for gcc, rather than autoconf's $GCC value. This did not
8110 work properly if the full pathname of the compiler were given
8111 (reported by Michael Yount <yount@csf.Colorado.edu>).
8112 + revise check for compiler options to force ANSI mode since repeating
8113 an option such as -Aa causes HP's compiler to fail on its own headers
8114 (reported by Clint Olsen <olsenc@ichips.intel.com>).
8117 + ifdef'd has_key() and mcprint() as extended functions.
8118 + modified several prototypes to correspond with 1997 version of
8119 X/Open Curses (affects ABI since developers have used attr_get).
8120 + remove spurious trailing blanks in glibc addon-scripts (patch by
8122 + insert a few braces at locations where gcc-2.8.x asks to use them to
8123 avoid ambigous else's, use -fpic rather than -fPIC for Linux (patch
8124 by Juergen Pfeifer).
8127 + split SHLIB_LIST into SHLIB_DIRS/SHLIB_LIST to keep -L options
8128 before -l to accommodate Solaris' linker (reported by Larry Virden).
8131 + modify lib_color.c to eliminate dependency on orig_colors and
8132 orig_pair, since SVr4 curses does not require these either, but
8133 uses them when they are available.
8134 + add detailed usage-message to infocmp.
8135 + correct a typo in att6386 entry (a "%?" which was "?").
8136 + add -f option to infocmp and tic, which formats the terminfo
8137 if/then/else/endif so that they are readable (with newlines and
8139 + fixes for glibc addon scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
8142 + revise configure macro CF_SPEED_TYPE so that termcap.h has speed_t
8143 declared (from Adam J Richter <adam@yggdrasil.com>)
8144 + remove spurious curs_set() call from leaveok() (J T Conklin).
8145 + corrected handling leaveok() in doupdate() (patch by Alexander V.
8147 + improved version of wredrawln (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
8148 + correct c++/Makefile.in so install target do not have embedded ../lib
8149 to confuse it (patch by Thomas Graf <graf@essi.fr>).
8150 + add warning to preinstall rule which checks if the installer would
8151 overwrite a curses.h or termcap.h that is not derived from ncurses.
8152 (The recommended configuration for developers who need both is to
8153 use --disable-overwrite).
8154 + modify preinstall rule in top-level Makefile to avoid implicit
8155 use of 'sh', to accommodate Ultrix 4.4 (reported by Joao Palhoto
8156 Matos <jmatos@math.ist.utl.pt>, patch by Thomas Esser
8157 <te@informatik.uni-hannover.de>)
8158 + refine ifdef's for TRACE so that libncurses has fewer dependencies
8159 on libtinfo when TRACE is disabled.
8160 + modify configure script so that if the --with-termlib option is used
8161 to generate a separate terminfo library, we chain it to the ncurses
8162 library with a "-l" option (reported by Darryl Miles and Ian T.
8166 + correct limits and window in wredrawln function (reported/analysis by
8167 Alexander V. Lukyanov).
8168 + correct sed expression in configure script for --with-fallback
8169 option (patch by Jesse Thilo).
8170 + correct some places in configure script where $enableval was used
8171 rather than $withval (patch by Darryl Miles <dlm@g7led.demon.co.uk>).
8172 + modify some man-pages so no '.' or '..' falls between TH and SH
8173 macros, to accommodate man_db program (reported by Ian T. Zimmerman
8175 + terminfo.src 10.2.1 downloaded from ESR's webpage (ESR).
8176 > several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
8177 + add copyright notices (and rcs id's) on remaining man-pages.
8178 + corrected prototypes for slk_* functions, using chtype rather than
8180 + implemented the wcolor_set() and slk_color() functions
8181 + the slk_attr_{set,off,on} functions need an additional void*
8182 parameter according to XSI.
8183 + fix the C++ and Ada95 binding as well as the man pages to
8184 reflect above enhancements.
8187 + use 'stat()' rather than 'access()' in toe.c to check for the
8188 existence of $HOME/.terminfo, since it may be a file.
8189 + suppress configure CF_CXX_LIBRARY check if we are not using g++
8190 2.7.x, since this is not needed with g++ 2.8 or egcs (patch by
8192 + turn on hashmap scrolling code by default, intend to remedy defects
8194 + minor corrections to terminfo.src changelog.
8196 980302 4.2 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
8197 + correct Florian's email address in ncurses-intro.html
8198 + terminfo.src 10.2.0 (ESR).

8218 Hasse <gh@raditex.se>).
8219 + restore version numbers to Ada95 binding, accidentally deleted by
8220 copyright patch (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
8223 + remove ncurses.lsm from MANIFEST so that it won't be used in FSF
8224 distributions, though it is retained in development.
8225 + correct scaling of milliseconds to nanoseconds in lib_napms.c (patch
8227 + update mailing-list information (bug-ncurses@gnu.org).
8228 + update announcement for upcoming 4.2 release.
8229 + modify -lm test to check for 'sin()' rather than 'floor()'
8230 + remove spurious commas from terminfo.src descriptions.
8231 + change copyright notices to Free Software Foundation

8267 + remove shared-library loader flags from test/Makefile.in, etc.
8268 + simplify test/configure.in using new version of autoconf to create
8270 + suppress suffix rules in test/Makefile.in, provide explicit
8271 dependency to work with --srcdir option and less capable 'make'
8273 > adapted from patch for QNX by Xiaodan Tang:

8275 that empty strings don't return a null result from tparam_internal
8276 + add QNX-specific prototype for vsscanf()
8277 + move initialization of SP->_keytry from init_keytry() to newterm() to
8278 avoid resetting it via a keyok() call by mouse_activate().
8279 + reorganized some functions in lib_mouse() to use case-statements.
8280 + remove sgr string from qnx terminfo entry since it is reported to
8281 turn off attributes inconsistently.
8284 + add f/F/b/B commands to ncurses 'b' test to toggle colors, providing

8301 + misc/Makefile.in (install.data): Avoid trying to install the CVS
8303 + aclocal.m4 (install.includes): Remove files in the include directory
8304 where we are going to install new ones, not the original source
8306 + misc/terminfo.src: Add entry for "beterm", derived from termcap
8307 distributed with BeOS PR2 using captoinfo.
8308 + aclocal.m4: Wrap $cf_cv_type_of_bool with quotes (contains space)
8309 + aclocal.m4: Assume bool types are unsigned.
8310 + progs/infocmp.c: workaround mwcc 32k function data limit

8330 optimization (Alexander V. Lukyanov).
8331 + test for 'remove()', use 'unlink() if not found (patch by Philippe De
8332 Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>).
8333 > patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
8334 + Improve a feature of the forms driver. For invisible fields
8335 (O_VISIBLE off) only the contents but not the attributes are cleared.
8336 We now clear both. (Reported by Javier Kohan
8337 <jkohan@adan.fceia.unr.edu.ar>)

8339 fields are also always inactive.
8340 + adjust ifdef's to compile the C++ binding with the just released
8341 gcc-2.8.0 c++ and the corresponding new C++ libraries.
8344 + correct "?" command in ncurses.c; it was performing non-screen writes
8345 while the program was in screen mode. (It "worked" in 1.9.9e because
8346 that version sets OPOST and OCRNL incorrectly).
8347 + return error from functions in lib_kernel, lib_raw and lib_ti if
8348 cur_term is null, or if underlying I/O fails.
8349 + amend change to tputs() so that it does not return an error if
8350 cur_term is null, since some applications depend on being able to use
8351 tputs without initializing the terminal (reported by Christian J.
8352 Robinson <infynity@cyberhighway.net>).
8355 + add a copy of emx.src from J.J.G.Ripoll's OS/2 EMX version of ncurses
8356 1.9.9e, together with fixes/additions for the "ansi" terminal type.

8362 Ripoll says EMX's curses does this.
8363 + modify _nc_tic_expand() to generate \0 rather than \200.
8364 + move/revise 'expand()' from dump_entry.c to ncurses library as
8365 _nc_tic_expand(), for use by tack.
8366 + decode \a as \007 for terminfo, as per XSI.
8367 + correct translation of terminfo "^@", to \200, like \0.

8369 cross-platform compatibility.
8370 + use new version of autoconf (971230) to work around limited
8371 environment on CLIX, due to the way autoconf builds --help message.

8381 EMX (from J.J.G.Ripoll).
8382 + generated ncurses_cfg.h with patch (971222) to autoconf 2.12 which
8383 bypasses limited sed buffer length.

8386 + add a _scrolling flag to SP, to set when we encounter a terminal
8387 that simply cannot scroll.
8388 + corrected logic in _nc_add_to_try(), by ensuring that strings with
8389 embedded \200 characters are matched.
8390 + don't assume the host has 'link()' function, for linking terminfo
8394 + if there's no ioctl's to support sigwinch handler, disable it.
8395 + add configure option --disable-ext-funcs to remove the extended
8396 functions from the build.
8397 + add configure option --with-termlib to generate the terminfo
8398 functions as a separate library.
8399 + add 'sources' rule to facilitate cross-compiling.
8400 + review/fix order of mostlyclean/clean/distclean rules.
8401 + modify install-rule for headers to first remove old header, in
8402 case there was a symbolic link that confuses the install script.

8424 executable. HP-UX shared libraries are an exception.
8425 + add configure check for 'tack'.
8426 + implement script for renaming section-references in man-page install,
8427 for Debian configuration.
8428 + add validity-check for SP in trace code in baudrate() (reported by
8430 > patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov (fixes to match sol25 curses)
8431 + modify 'overlay()' so that copy applies target window background to
8433 + correct 'mvwin()' so that it does not clear the previous locations.
8434 + correct lib_acs.c so that 8-bit character is not sign expanded in
8435 case of wide characters in chtype.
8436 + correct control-char test in lib_addch.c for use with wide chars

8446 + correct bug in tic that caused capabilities to be reprinted at the
8447 end of output when they had embedded comments.
8448 + rewrote wredrawln to correspond to XSI, and split-out since it is
8449 not often used (from report by Alexander V. Lukyanov, 970825)
8450 + rewrote Dan Nelson's change to make it portable, as well as to
8451 correct logic for handling backslashes.
8452 + add code to _nc_tgetent() to make it work more like a real tgetent().
8453 It removes all empty fields, and removes all but the first in a group
8454 of duplicate caps. The code was pulled from the BSD libtermcap code
8455 in termcap.c (patch by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>
8456 + don't include --enable-widec in the --with-develop configure option,

8484 + correction & simplification of delay computation in tputs, based on
8485 comments from Daniel Weaver.
8486 + replace test for SCO with more precise header tests.
8487 + add configure test for unsigned literals, use in NCURSES_BITS macro.
8488 + comment-out the -PIC, etc., flags from c++, progs and test makefiles
8489 since they probably are not needed, and are less efficient (noted by

8492 that record this information will tend to do the right thing if
8493 the programs are moved around after installing them (suggested by

8507 in call to delay_output().
8508 + correct inverted expression for null-count in delay_output()
8509 (analysis by Daniel Weaver).
8510 + apply --enable-rpath option to Solaris (requested by Larry Virden).

8517 + add u8, u9 strings to sun-il description for Daniel Weaver.
8518 + use NCURSES_CONST in panel's user-pointer.

8579 decouple those modules from lib_restart.c
8580 + add xterm-xf86-v39t description to terminfo.src
8581 + reset SP->_endwin in lib_tstp.c cleanup() function after calling
8582 endwin() to avoid unnecessary repainting if the application has
8583 established an atexit function, etc. Encountered this problem in
8584 the c++ demo, whose destructors repaint the screen.
8585 + combine _nc_get_screensize() and resizeterm() calls as new function
8586 _nc_update_screensize().
8587 + minor fixes to allow compile with g++ (suggested by Nelson H. F.
8589 + implement install-rules for Ada95 makefiles.
8590 + use screen_lines or MAXLINES as needed where LINES was coded,
8591 as well as screen_columns for COLS, in the ncurses library.
8592 > patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
8593 + modify logic for ripped-off lines to handle several SCREENs.

8595 + factors lib_slk.c into some smaller modules
8596 + factors panel.c into some smaller modules
8597 + puts the static information about the current panel stack into the
8598 SCREEN structure to allow different panel stacks on different
8600 + preliminary fix for an error adjusting LINES to account for
8604 + move _nc_max_click_interval and other mouse interface items to SCREEN
8605 struct so that they are associated with a single terminal, and also
8606 save memory when the application does not need a mouse (roughly 3k vs
8608 + modify mouseinterval() so that a negative parameter queries the
8609 click-interval without modifying it.
8610 + modify ncurses 'i' test to work with ncurses' apparent extension from
8611 SVr4, i.e., allows nocbreak+noecho (analysis by Alexander V.
8613 + add configure options --with-ada-includes and --with-ada-objects,
8614 to drive Ada95 binding install (not yet implemented).
8615 + install C++ binding as -lncurses++ and associated headers with the
8616 other ncurses headers.
8617 + fix header uninstall if configure --srcdir is used.
8618 > minor interface changes to support 'tack' program -TD
8619 (request by Daniel Weaver <danw@znyx.com>).
8620 + export functions _nc_trans_string() and _nc_msec_cost().
8621 + add variable _nc_nulls_sent, to record the number of padding
8622 characters output in delay_output().
8623 + move tests for generic_type and hard_copy terminals in setupterm()
8624 to the end of that function so that the library will still be
8625 initialized, though not generally useful for curses programs.

8637 + correct source/target of c++/edit_cfg.sh
8640 + add color, mouse support to kterm terminfo entry.
8641 + modify lib_mouse.c to recognize rxvt, kterm, color_xterm also as
8642 providing "xterm"-style mouse.
8643 + updated rxvt's terminfo description to correspond to 2.21b, with
8644 fixes for the acsc (the box1 capability is incorrect, ech1 does not
8646 + fix logic in parse_entry.c that discarded acsc when 'synthesizing'
8647 an entry from equivalents in XENIX or AIX. This lets ncurses handle
8648 the distribution copy of rxvt's terminfo.
8649 + modify acsc capability for linux and linux-koi8 terminfo descriptions
8650 (from Pavel Roskin <pavel@absolute.spb.su>).
8651 + corrected definition in curses.h for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I'
8652 rather than 'i' (see 970802).
8653 + updated terminfo.src with reformatted acsc entries, and repaired the
8654 trashed entries with spurious '\' characters that this exposed.
8655 + add logic to dump_entry.c to reformat acsc entries into canonical
8656 form (sorted, unique mapping).
8657 + add configure script to generate c++/etip.h
8658 + add configure --with-develop option, to enable by default most of the
8659 experimental options (requested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
8660 + rename 'deinstall' to 'uninstall', following GNU convention
8661 (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
8662 > patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
8663 + modify tactics 2 and 5 in onscreen_mvcur(), to allow them on the last
8664 line of the screen, since carriage return will not cause a newline.
8665 + remove clause from PutCharLR() that would try to use
8666 eat_newline_glitch since that apparently does not work on some
8667 terminals (e.g., M$ telnet).
8668 + correct a limit check in scroll_csr_backward()

8670 + adds dummy implementations of methods above() and below() to the
8672 + fixes missing returncode in NCursesWindow::ripoffline()
8673 + fixes missing returncode in TestApplication::run() in demo.cc
8674 + We should at least give a comment in etip.h why it is currently a
8675 problem to install the C++ binding somewhere

8694 + Enhances Ada95 Makefiles to fulfill the requirement of GNAT-3.10 that
8695 generics should be compiled. Proper fixes to the configuration
8696 scripts are also provided.
8699 + several modifications to the configure script (requested by Ward
8701 + add configure options --without-progs, to suppress the build of the
8702 utility programs, e.g., for cross-compiling.
8703 + add $(HOSTCCFLAGS) and $(HOSTLDFLAGS) symbols to ncurses
8704 Makefile.in, to simplify setup for cross compiling.
8705 + add logic in configure script to recognize "--target=vxworks", and
8706 generate load/install actions for VxWorks objects.
8707 + move typedef for sigaction_t into SigAction.h to work around problem
8708 generating lint library.
8709 + modify fty_regex.c to reflect renaming of ifdef's for regular
8711 + simplify ifdef in lib_setup.c for TIOCGWINSZ since that symbol may
8712 reside in <sys/ioctl.h>.
8713 + merge testcurs.c with version from PDCurses 2.3, clarifying some of
8714 the more obscure tests, which rely upon color.
8715 + use macros getbegyx() and getmaxyx() in newdemo.c and testcurs.c
8716 + modify ncurses.c to use getbegyx() and getmaxyx() macros to cover up
8717 implementation difference wrt SVr4 curses, allow 's' test to work.
8718 + add missing endwin() to testscanw.c program (reported by Fausto
8719 Saporito <fausap@itb.it>).
8720 + fixes/updates for Makefile.glibc and related files under sysdeps

8746 <Tony.Hoffmann@hia.nrc.ca>)
8747 + add $(HOSTCC) symbol to ncurses Makefile.in, to simplify setup for
8748 cross compiling (suggested by Chris Johns).
8749 + modify ifdef in lib_setup.c to only include <sys/ioctl.h> if we can
8750 use it to support screen-size calculation (reported by Chris Johns).
8751 + #undef unctrl to avoid symbol conflict in port to RTEMS (reported by
8752 Chris Johns <cjohns@plessey.com.au>)
8753 > patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
8754 + simplified, made minor corrections to Ada95 binding to form
8756 + The C++ binding has been enhanced:
8757 + Improve NCursesWindow class: added additional methods to cover
8758 more ncurses functionality. Make refresh() and noutrefresh()
8759 virtual members to allow different implementation in the
8761 + CAUTION: changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of
8762 NCursesWindow class.
8763 + Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a
8764 reimplementation of refresh() in the base class. Added
8765 noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel.
8766 + Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform
8768 + Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to etip.h
8769 + Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration of
8770 menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of title lines
8771 and Soft-Label-Keys for an application.
8772 + Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menu's fieldlist.
8773 + Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for menus.
8775 + Fixed a bug in form/fld_def.c: take into account that copyarg and
8776 freearg for a fieldtype may be NULL, makearg must not be NULL
8777 + Fixed a bug in form/fld_type.c: in set_fieldtype_arg() makearg must
8778 not be NULL, copyarg and freearg may be NULL.
8779 + Fixed a bug in form/frm_def.c: Allow Disconnect_Fields() if it is
8780 already disconnected.
8781 + Enhance form/frm_driver.c: Allow growth of dynamic fields also on
8782 navigation requests.
8783 + Fixed a bug in form/fty_enum.c: wrong position of postincrement in
8784 case-insensitiva comparision routine.
8785 + Enhanced form/lib_adabind.c with function _nc_get_field() to get a
8786 forms field by index.
8787 + Enhanced menu/m_adabind.c with function _nc_get_item() to get a menus
8789 + Fixed in curses.h.in: make chtype argument for pechochar() constant.
8790 Mark wbkgdset() as implemented, remove wbkgdset macro, because it was
8791 broken (didn't handle colors correctly).
8792 + Enhanced lib_mouse.c: added _nc_has_mouse() function
8793 + Added _nc_has_mouse() prototype to curses.priv.h
8794 + Modified lib_bkgd.c: hopefully correct implementation of wbkgdset();
8795 streamlined implementation of wbkgd()
8796 + Modified lib_mvwin.c: Disable move of a pad. Implement (costly)
8797 move of subwindows. Fixed update behavior of movements of regular
8799 + Fixed lib_pad.c: make chtype argument of pechochar() const.
8800 + Fixed lib_window.c: dupwin() is not(!) in every bit a really clone
8801 of the original. Subwindows become regular windows by doing a
8803 + Improved manpage form_fieldtype.3x
8804 > patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
8805 + simplify the PutChar() handling of exit_am_mode, because we already
8806 know that auto_right_margin is true.
8807 + add a check in PutChar() for ability to insert to the case of
8808 shifting character to LR corner.
8809 + in terminal initialization by _nc_screen_resume(), make sure that
8810 terminal right margin mode is known.
8811 + move logic that invokes touchline(), or does the equivalent, into
8812 _nc_scroll_window().
8813 + modify scrolling logic use of insert/delete line capability, assuming
8814 that they affect the screen contents only within the current
8816 + modify rain.c to demonstrate SIGWINCH handler.
8817 + remove logic from getch() that would return an ERR if the application
8818 called getch() when the cursor was at the lower-right corner of the
8819 physical screen, and the terminal does not have insert-character
8821 + change view.c so that it breaks out of getch() loop if a KEY_RESIZE
8822 is read, and modify logic in getch() so this fix will yield the
8823 desired behavior, i.e., the screen is repainted automatically when
8824 the terminal window is resized.
8827 + add configure option --enable-sigwinch
8828 + modify view.c to test KEY_RESIZE logic, with "-r" option.
8829 + modify testcurs.c to eliminate misleading display wrt cursor type
8830 by testing if the terminal supports cnorm, civis, cvvis.
8831 + several fixes for m68k/NeXT 4.0, to bring cur_term, _nc_curr_line and
8832 _nc_curr_col variables into linked programs: move these variables,
8833 making new modules lib_cur_term and trace_buf (reported by Francisco
8834 Alberto Tomei Torres <fatomei@sandburg.unm.edu>).
8835 > patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
8836 + add pseudo-functionkey KEY_RESIZE which is returned by getch() when
8837 the SIGWINCH handler has been called since the last call to
8839 + modify lib_twait.c to hide EINTR only if HIDE_EINTR is defined.
8840 + add SIGWINCH handler to ncurses library which is used if there is no
8841 application SIGWINCH handler in effect when the screen is
8843 + make linked list of all SCREEN structures.
8844 + move curses.h include before definition of SCREEN to use types in
8846 + correction to ensure that wgetstr uses only a newline to force a
8850 + add experimental configure option --enable-safe-sprintf; the normal
8851 mode now allocates a buffer as large as the screen for the
8852 lib_printw.c functions.
8853 + modify wgetch to refresh screen when reading ungetch'd characters,
8854 since the application may require this - SVr4 does this.
8855 + refine treatment of newline in wgetstr to echo only when this would
8856 force the screen to scroll.
8859 + remove override in wgetstr() that forces keypad(), since SVr4 does
8861 + correct y-reference for erasure in wgetstr() when a wrap forces a
8863 + correct x-position in waddch() after a wrap forces a scroll.
8864 + echo newline in wgetstr(), making testscanw.c scroll properly when
8866 + modify vwscanw() to avoid potential buffer overflow.
8867 + rewrote lib_printw.c to eliminate fixed-buffer limits.
8868 > patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
8869 + correct an error in handling cooked mode in wgetch(); processing
8870 was in the wrong order.
8871 + simplified logic in wgetch() that handles backspace, etc., by using
8873 + correct wechochar() so that it interprets the output character as
8875 + modify pechochar() to use prefresh() rather than doupdate(), since
8876 the latter does not guarantee immediate refresh of the pad.
8877 + modify pechochar() so that if called with a non-pad WINDOW, will
8878 invoke wechochar() instead.
8879 + modify fifo indices to allow fifo to be longer than 127 bytes.
8882 + add xterm-8bit to terminfo.src
8883 + moved logic for SP->_fifohold inside check_pending() to make it
8884 work properly when we add calls to that function.
8885 + ensure that bool functions return only TRUE or FALSE, and TRUE/FALSE
8886 are assigned to bool values (patch by H.J.Lu).
8887 > patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
8888 + several fixes to getch:
8889 1. Separate cooked and raw keys in fifo
8890 2. Fix the case of ungetch'ed KEY_MOUSE
8891 3. wrap the code for hiding EINTR with ifdef HIDE_EINTR
8892 4. correctly handle input errors (i.e., EINTR) without loss of raw
8894 5. recognize ESC KEY_LEFT and similar
8895 6. correctly handle the case of receiption of KEY_MOUSE from gpm
8896 + correct off-by-one indexing error in _nc_mouse_parse(), that caused
8897 single mouse events (press/release) to be ignored in favor of
8898 composed events (click). Improves on a fix from integrating gpm
8900 + add another call to check_pending, before scrolling, for
8901 line-breakout optimization
8902 + improve hashmap.c by
8903 1. fixed loop condition in grow_hunks()
8904 2. not marking lines with offset 0
8905 3. fixed condition of 'too far' criteria, thus one-line hunks are
8906 ignored and two lines interchanged won't pass.
8907 + rewrote/simplified _nc_scroll_optimize() by separating into two
8908 passes, forward/backward, looking for chunks moving only in the given
8910 + move logic that emits sgr0 when initializing the screen to
8911 _nc_screen_init(), now invoked from newterm.
8912 + move cursor-movement cleanup from endwin() into _nc_mvcur_wrap()
8913 function and screen cleanup (i.e., color) into _nc_screen_wrap()
8915 + add new functions _nc_screen_init(), _nc_screen_resume() and
8917 + rename _nc_mvcur_scrolln() to _nc_scrolln().
8918 + add a copy of acs_map[] to the SCREEN structure, where it can be
8919 stored/retrieved via set_term().
8920 + move variables _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok, _nc_windows into the SCREEN
8924 + implement experimental _nc_perform_scroll().
8925 + modify newterm (actually _nc_setupscreen()) to emit an sgr0 when
8926 initializing the screen, as does SVr4 (reported by Alexander V.
8928 + added test_progs rule to ncurses/Makefile.
8929 + modify test/configure.in to check if initscr is already in $LIBS
8930 before looking for (n)curses library.
8931 + correct version-number in configure script for OSF1 shared-library
8932 options (patch by Tim Mooney).
8933 + add -DNDEBUG to CPPFLAGS for --enable-assertions (as Juergen
8934 originally patched) since the c++ demo files do not necessarily
8935 include ncurses_cfg.h
8936 + supply default value for --enable-assertions option in configure
8937 script (reported by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu>).
8938 > patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
8939 + correct/simplify logic of werase(), wclrtoeol() and wclrbot(). See
8941 + optimize waddch_literal() and waddch_nosync() by factoring out
8942 common subexpressions.
8943 + correct sense of NDEBUG ifdef for CHECK_POSITION macro.
8944 + corrections to render_char(), to make handling of colored blanks
8945 match SVr4 curses, as well as to correct a bug that xor'd space
8946 against the background character.
8947 + replaced hash function with a faster one (timed it)
8948 + rewrote the hashmap algorithm to be one-pass, this avoids multiple
8949 cost_effective() calls on the same lines.
8950 + modified cost_effective() so it is now slightly more precise.
8951 > patches for glibc integration (H.J.Lu):
8952 + add modules define_key, keyok, name_match, tries
8953 + add makefile rules for some of the unit tests in ncurses (mvcur,
8954 captoinfo, hardscroll, hashmap).
8955 + update Linux configure-script for wide-character definitions.
8958 + modify _tracebits() to show the character size (e.g., CS8).
8959 + modify tparm() to emit '\200' where the generated string would have a
8960 null (reported by From: Ian Dall <Ian.Dall@dsto.defence.gov.au> for
8961 terminal type ncr7900).
8962 + modify install process so that ldconfig is not invoked if the
8963 package is built with an install-prefix.
8964 + correct test program for chtype size (reported by Tim Mooney).
8965 + add configure option --disable-scroll-hints, using this to ifdef the
8966 logic that computes indices for _nc_scroll_optimize().
8967 + add module ncurses/softscroll.c, to perform single-stage computation
8968 of scroll indices used in _nc_scroll_optimize(). This is faster than
8969 the existing scrolling algorithm, but tends to make too-small hunks.
8970 + eliminate fixed buffer size in _nc_linedump().
8971 + minor fixes to lib_doupdate.c to add tradeoff between clr_eol (el)
8972 and clr_bol (el1), refine logic in ClrUpdate() and ClrBottom() (patch
8973 by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
8974 + add test/testaddch.c, from a pending patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov.
8975 + correct processing of "configure --enable-assertions" option (patch
8976 by Juergen Pfeifer).
8979 + add '-s' (single-step) option too test/hashtest.c, correct an error
8980 in loop limit for '-f' (footer option), toggle scrollok() when
8981 writing footer to avoid wrap at lower-right corner.
8982 + correct behavior of clrtoeol() immediately after wrapping cursor,
8983 which was not clearing the line at the cursor position (reported by
8984 Liviu Daia <daia@stoilow.imar.ro>).
8985 + corrected mapping for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I' rather than 'i'
8986 (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@tezcat.com>).
8987 + many corrections to make progs/capconvert work, as well as make it
8988 reasonably portable and integrated with ncurses 4.1 (reported by Dave
8989 Furstenau <df@ravine.binary.net>).
8992 + add flag SP->_fifohold, corresponding logic to modify the behavior of
8993 the line breakout logic so that if the application does not read
8994 input, refreshes will not be stopped, but only slowed.
8995 + generate slk_attr_off(), slk_attr_on(), slk_attr_set(), vid_attr(),
8996 ifdef'd for wide-character support, since ncurses' WA_xxx attribute
8997 masks are identical with the A_xxx masks.
8998 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to generate ifdef'd functions to support optional
8999 configuration of wide-characters.
9000 + modify tset to behave more like SVr4's tset, which does not modify
9001 the settings of intr, quit or erase unless they are given as command
9002 options (reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>).
9003 + modify tset to look in /etc/ttys or /etc/ttytype if the configuration
9004 does not have getttynam().
9005 + extend baudrate table in tset.c to match baudrate() function.
9006 + add table entries for 230400 and 460800 bd to baudrate() function.
9007 + improve breakout logic by allowing it before the first line updated,
9008 which is what SVr4 curses does (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9009 + correct initialization of vcost in relative_move(), for cursor-down
9010 case (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9011 > nits gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-3:
9012 + install symbolic link for intotocap.
9013 + reference libc directly when making shared libraries.
9014 + correct renaming of curs_scr_dmp.3x in man_db.renames.
9015 + guard tgetflag() and other termcap functions against null cur_term
9019 + corrected initial state of software echo (error in 970405, reported
9020 by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9021 + reviewed/added messages to configure script, so that all non-test
9022 options should be accompanied by a message.
9023 + add configure check for long filenames, using this to determine if
9024 it is safe to allow long aliases for terminal descriptions as does
9026 + add configure options for widec (wide character), hashmap (both
9028 > patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
9029 + hashmap.c - improved by heuristic, so that scroll test works much
9030 better when csr is not available.
9031 + hardscroll.c - patched so that it continues to scroll other chunks
9032 after failure to scroll one.
9033 + lib_doupdate.c - _nc_mvcur_scrolln extended to handle more cases; csr
9034 is avoided as it is relative costly. Fixed wrong coordinates in one
9035 case and wrong string in TRACE.
9036 > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
9037 + modify C++ binding to compile on AIX 4.x with the IBM C-SET++
9041 + remove alternate character set from kterm terminfo entry; it uses the
9042 shift-out control for a purpose incompatible with curses, i.e., font
9044 + disentangle 'xterm' terminfo entry from some derived entries that
9045 should be based on xterm-r6 instead.
9046 + add cbt to xterm-xf86-xv32 terminfo entry; I added the emulation for
9047 XFree86 3.1.2F, but overlooked its use in terminfo then - T.Dickey.
9048 + correct logic in lib_mvcur.c that uses back_tab.
9051 + correct change from 970628 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
9052 contents of curscr are saved in newscr before clearing the screen.
9053 This is needed to make repainting work with the present logic of
9055 + use napms() rather than sleep() in tset.c to avoid interrupting I/O.
9058 + add limit checks to _nc_read_file_entry() to guard against overflow
9059 of buffer when reading incompatible terminfo format, e.g, from OSF/1.
9060 + correct some loop-variable errors in xmc support in lib_doupdate.c
9061 + modify ncurses 'b' test to add gaps, specified by user, to allow
9062 investigation of interaction with xmc (magic cookie) code.
9063 + correct typo in 970524 mods to xmas.c, had omitted empty parameter
9064 list from has_colors(), which gcc ignores, but SVr4 does not
9065 (reported by Larry Virden).
9066 + correct rmso capability in wy50-mc description.
9067 + add configure option "--enable-hard-tabs", renamed TABS_OK ifdef to
9069 > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
9070 + Add bindings for keyok() and define_key() to the Ada95 packages.
9071 + Improve man pages menu_post.3x and menu_format.3x
9072 + Fix the HTML pages in the Ada95/html directory to reflect the above
9076 + modify change from 970101 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
9077 pending changes to both curscr and newscr are flushed properly.
9078 This fixes a case where the first scrolling operation in nvi would
9079 cause the screen to be cleared unnecessarily and repainted before
9080 doing the indexing, i.e., by repeatedly pressing 'j' (reported by
9082 + correct error in trans_string() which added embedded newlines in a
9083 terminfo description to the stored strings.
9084 + remove spurious newlines from sgr in wyse50 (and several other)
9085 terminfo descriptions.
9086 + add configure option for experimental xmc (magic cookie) code,
9087 "--enable-xmc-glitch". When disabled (the default), attributes that
9088 would store a magic cookie are suppressed in vidputs(). The magic
9089 cookie code is far from workable at this stage; the configuration
9090 option is a stopgap.
9091 + move _nc_initscr() from lib_initscr.c to lib_newterm.c
9092 + correct path for invoking make_keys (a missing "./").
9095 + correct sign-extension problem with "infocmp -e", which corrupted
9096 acsc values computed for linux fallback data.
9097 + correct dependency on ncurses/names.c (a missing "./").
9098 + modify configure script to use '&&' even for cd'ing to existing
9099 directories to work around broken shell interpreters.
9100 + correct a loop-limit in _nc_hash_map() (patch by Alexander V.
9104 + restore logic in _nc_scroll_optimize() which marks as touched the
9105 lines in curscr that are shifted.
9106 + add new utility 'make_keys' to compute keys.tries as a table rather
9107 than a series of function calls.
9108 + correct include-dependency for tic.h used by name_match
9109 + removed buffer-allocation for name and description from m_item_new.c,
9110 since this might result in incompatibilities with SVr4. Also fixed
9111 the corresponding Ada95 binding module (patch by Juergen Pfeifer,
9112 report by Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@foxnet.net>)
9113 + removed the mechanism to timestamp the generated Ada95 sources. This
9114 resulted always in generating patches for the HTML doc, even when
9115 nothing really changed (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9116 + improve man page mitem_new.3x (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9119 + remove ech capability from rxvt description because it does not work.
9120 + add missing case logic for infocmp -I option (reported by Lorenzo M.
9121 Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>)
9122 + correct old bug in pnoutrefresh() unmasked by fix in 970531; this
9123 caused glitches in the ncurses 'p' test since the area outside the
9124 pad was not compared when setting up indices for _nc_scroll_optimize.
9125 + rewrote tracebits() to workaround misdefinition of TOSTOP on Ultrix
9126 4.4, as well as to eliminate fixed-size buffer (reported by Chris
9127 Tanner <tannerc@aecl.ca>)
9128 + correct prototype for termattrs() as per XPG4 version 2.
9129 + add placeholder prototypes for color_set(), erasewchar(),
9130 term_attrs(), wcolor_set() as per XPG4 version 2.
9131 + correct attribution for progs/progs.priv.h and lib_twait.c
9132 + improve line-breakout logic by checking based on changed lines rather
9133 than total lines (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9134 + correct loop limits for table-lookup of enumerated value in form
9135 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9136 + improve threshhold computation for determining when to call ClrToEOL
9137 (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9140 + add configure option --disable-database to force the library to
9141 use only the fallback data.
9142 + add configure option --with-fallbacks, to specify list of fallback
9143 terminal descriptions.
9144 + add a symbolic link for ncurses.h during install; too many programs
9145 still assume there's an ncurses.h
9146 + add new terminfo.src entry for xterm-xf86-v33.
9147 + restore terminfo.src entry for emu to using setf/setb, since it is
9148 not, after all, generating ANSI sequences. Corrected missing comma
9149 that caused setf/setb entries to merge.
9150 + modify mousemask() to use keyok() to enable/disable KEY_MOUSE, so
9151 that applications can disable ncurses' mouse and supply their own
9153 + add extensions keyok() and define_key(). These are designed to allow
9154 the user's application better control over the use of function keys,
9155 e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE. (The define_key idea was from
9156 a mailing-list thread started by Kenneth Albanowski
9157 <kjahds@kjahds.com> Nov'1995).
9158 + restore original behavior in ncurses 'g' test, i.e., explicitly
9159 set the keypad mode rather than use the default, since it confuses
9161 + rewrote the newdemo banner so it's readable (reported by Hugh
9163 + tidy up exit from hashtest (reported by Hugh Daniel).
9164 + restore check for ^Q in ncurses 'g' test broken in 970510 (reported
9166 + correct tput program, checking return-value of setupterm (patch by
9168 + correct logic in pnoutrefresh() and pechochar() functions (reported
9169 by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf.usc.edu>). The computation
9170 of 'wide' date to eric's #283 (1.9.9), and the pechochar bug to the
9171 original implementation (1.9.6).
9172 + correct typo in vt102-w terminfo.src entry (patch by Robert Wuest
9173 <rwuest@sire.vt.com>)
9174 + move calls of _nc_background() out of various loops, as its return
9175 value will be the same for the whole window being operated on (patch
9177 + add macros getcur[xy] getbeg[xy] getpar[xy], which are defined in
9178 SVr4 headers (patch by J T Conklin <jtc@NetBSD.ORG>)
9179 + modify glibc addon-configure scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
9180 + correct a bug in hashmap.c: the size used for clearing the hashmap
9181 table was incorrect, causing stack corruption for large values of
9182 LINES, e.g., >MAXLINES/2 (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9183 + eric's terminfo 9.13.23 & 9.13.24 changes: replaced minitel-2 entry,
9184 added MGR, ansi-nt (note: the changes described for 9.13.24 have not
9186 > several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
9187 + correct a missing error-return in form_driver.c when wrapping of a
9188 field is not possible.
9189 + correct logic in form_driver.c for configurations that do not have
9190 memccpy() (reported by Sidik Isani <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
9191 + change several c++ binding functions to inline.
9192 + modify c++ menu binding to inherit from panels, for proper
9194 + correct freeing of menu items in c++ binding.
9195 + modify c++ binding to reflect removal of const from user data pointer
9196 in forms/menus libraries.
9199 + add description of xterm-16color.
9200 + modify name of shared-library on *BSD to end with $(REL_VERSION)
9201 rather than $(ABI_VERSION) to match actual convention on FreeBSD
9203 + add OpenBSD to shared-library case, same as NetBSD and FreeBSD
9204 (reported by Hugh Daniel <hugh@rat.toad.com>).
9205 + corrected include-dependency in menu/Makefile so that "make install"
9206 works properly w/o first doing "make".
9207 + add fallback definition for isascii, used in infocmp.
9208 + modify xmas to use color, and to exit right away when a key is
9210 + modify gdc so that the scrolled digits function as described (there
9211 was no time delay between the stages, and the digits overwrote the
9212 bounding box without tidying up).
9213 + modify lib_color.c to use setaf/setab only for the ANSI color codes
9214 0 through 7. Using 16 colors requires setf/setb.
9215 + modify ncurses 'c' test to work with 16 colors, as well as the normal
9217 + remove const qualifier from user data pointer in forms and menus
9218 libraries (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9219 + rewrote 'waddchnstr()' to avoid using the _nc_waddch_nosync()
9220 function, thereby not interpreting tabs, etc., as per spec (patch by
9221 Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9224 + suppress check for pre-existing ncurses header if the --prefix
9225 option is specified.
9226 + add configure options "--with-system-type" and
9227 "--with-system-release" to assist in checking the generated
9229 + add configure option "--enable-rpath" to allow installers to specify
9230 that programs linked against shared libraries will have their library
9231 path embedded, allowing installs into nonstandard locations.
9232 + add flags to OSF1 shared-library options to specify version and
9233 symbol file (patch by Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>)
9234 + add missing definition for ABI_VERSION to c++/Makefile.in (reported
9235 by Satoshi Adachi <adachi@wisdom.aa.ap.titech.ac.jp>).
9236 + modify link flags to accommodate HP-UX linker which embeds absolute
9237 pathnames in executables linked against shared libraries (reported by
9238 Jason Evans <jasone@mrc.uidaho.edu>, solved by Alan Shutko
9239 <ats@hubert.wustl.edu>).
9240 + drop unnecessary check for attribute-change in onscreen_mvcur() since
9241 mvcur() is the only caller within the library, and that check in turn
9242 is exercised only from lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
9244 + add 'blank' parameter to _nc_scroll_window() so _nc_mvcur_scrolln()
9245 can use the background of stdscr as a parameter to that function
9246 (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9247 + moved _nc_mvcur_scrolln() from lib_mvcur.c to lib_doupdate.c, to use
9248 the latter's internal functions, as well as to eliminate unnecessary
9249 cursor save/restore operations (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9250 + omit parameter of ClrUpdate(), since it is called only for newscr,
9251 further optimized/reduced by using ClearScreen() and TransformLine()
9252 to get rid of duplicate code (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9253 + modify scrolling algorithm in _nc_scroll_optimize() to reject hunks
9254 that are smaller than the distance to be moved (patch by Alexander V.
9256 + correct a place where the panel library was not ifdef'd in ncurses.c
9258 + documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer)
9260 970515 4.1 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
9261 + re-tag changes since 970505 as 4.1 release.
9264 + modify ncurses 'g' test to allow mouse input
9265 + modify default xterm description to include mouse.
9266 + modify configure script to add -Wwrite-strings if gcc warnings are
9267 enabled while configuring --enable-const (and fixed related
9269 + add toggle, status display for keypad mode to ncurses 'g' test to
9270 verify that keypad and scrollok are not inherited from parent window
9271 during a call to newwin.
9272 + correction to MKexpanded.sh to make it work when configure --srcdir
9273 is used (reported by H.J.Lu).
9274 + revise test for bool-type, ensuring that it checks if builtin.h is
9275 available before including it, adding test for sizeof(bool) equal
9276 to sizeof(short), and warning user if the size cannot be determined
9277 (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9278 + add files to support configuration of ncurses as an add-on library
9279 for GNU libc (patch by H.J.Lu <hjl@lucon.org>)
9282 + correct buffer overrun in lib_traceatr.c
9283 + modify change to lib_vidattr.c to avoid redundant orig_pair.
9284 + turn on 'echo()' in hanoi.c, since it is initially off.
9285 + rename local 'errno' variable in etip.h to avoid conflict with global
9287 + modify configure script to cache LD, AR, AR_OPTS (patch by H.J.Lu
9290 970505 4.1 pre-release
9291 + regenerate the misc directory html dumps without the link list, which
9293 + correct dependency in form directory makefile which caused
9294 unnecessary recompiles.
9295 + correct substitution for ABI_VERSION in test-makefile
9296 + modify install rules for shared-library targets to remove the target
9297 before installing, since some install programs do not properly handle
9298 overwrite of symbolic links.
9299 + change order of top-level targets so that 'include' immediate
9300 precedes the 'ncurses' directory, reducing the time between new
9301 headers and new libraries (requested by Larry Virden).
9302 + modify lib_vidattr.c so that colors are turned off only before
9303 modifying other attributes, turned on after others. This makes the
9304 hanoi.c program display correctly on FreeBSD console.
9305 + modify debug code in panel library to print user-data addresses
9306 rather than the strings which they (may) point to.
9307 + add check to ensure that C++ binding and demo are not built with g++
9308 versions below 2.7, since the binding uses templates.
9309 + modify c++ binding and demo to build and run with SGI's c++ compiler.
9310 (It also compiles with the Sun SparcWorks compiler, but the demo does
9311 not link, due to a vtbl problem).
9312 + corrections to demo.cc, to fix out-of-scope variables (Juergen
9316 + correct memory leak in _nc_trace_buf().
9317 + add configure test for regexpr.h, for Unixware 1.x.
9318 + correct missing "./" prefixing names of generated files in ncurses
9320 + use single-quotes in configure scripts assignments for MK_SHARED_LIB
9321 to workaround shell bug on FreeBSD 2.1.5
9322 + remove tabs from intermediate #define's for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF
9323 that caused incorrect result in ncurses_cfg.h
9324 + correct initialization in lib_trace.c, which omitted version info.
9325 + remove ech, el1 attributes from cons25w description; they appear to
9326 malfunction in FreeBSD 2.1.5
9327 + correct color attributes in terminfo.src and lib_color.c to match
9328 SVr4 behavior by interchanging codes 1,4, 3,6 in the setf/setb
9330 + use curs_set() rather than checks via tigetstr() for test programs
9331 that hide the cursor: firework, rain, worm.
9332 + ensure that if the terminal lacks change_scroll_region, parm_index
9333 and parm_rindex are used only to scroll the whole screen (patch by
9335 + correct curs_set() logic, which did not return ERR if the requested
9336 attributes did not exist, nor did it assume an unknown initial state
9337 for the cursor (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9338 + combine IDcTransformLine and NoIDcTransformLine to new TransformLine
9339 function in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9340 + correct hashmap.c, which did not update index information (patch by
9341 Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9342 + fixes for C++ binding and demo (see c++/NEWS) (Juergen Pfeifer).
9343 + correct index in lib_instr.c (Juergen Pfeifer).
9344 + correct typo in 970426 patch from Tom's cleanup of lib_overlay.c
9345 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
9348 + corrected cost computation in PutRange(), which was using
9349 milliseconds compared to characters by adding two new members to the
9350 SCREEN struct, _hpa_ch_cost and _cup_ch_cost.
9351 + drop ncurses/lib_unctrl.c, add ncurses/MKunctrl.awk to generate a
9352 const array of strings (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov). The
9353 original suggestion in 970118 used a perl script.
9354 + rewrote ncurses 'b' test to better exercise magic-cookie (xmc), as
9355 well as noting the attributes that are not supported by a terminal.
9356 + trace the computation of cost values in lib_mvcur.c
9357 + modify _nc_visbuf() to use octal rather than hex, corrected sign
9358 extension bug in that function that caused buffer overflow.
9359 + modify trace in lib_acs.c to use _nc_visbuf().
9360 + suppress trace within _traceattr2().
9361 + correct logic of _tracechtype2(), which did not account for repeats
9362 or redefinition within an acsc string.
9363 + modify debug-library version baudrate() to use environment variable
9364 $BAUDRATE to override speed computation. This is needed for
9366 + correct problems shown by "weblint -pedantic".
9367 + update mailing-list information (now ncurses@bsdi.com).
9370 + Improve form_field_validation.3x manpage to better describe the
9371 precision parameter for TYPE_NUMERIC and TYPE_INTEGER. Provide more
9372 precise information how the range checking can be avoided. (patch by
9373 Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan Henderson)
9374 + change type of min/max value of form types TYPE_INTEGER to long to
9375 match SVr4 documentation.
9376 + set the form window to stdscr in set_form_win() so that form_win()
9377 won't return null (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan
9378 Henderson <bryanh@giraffe.netgate.net>).
9381 + corrected ifdef'ing of inline (cf: 970321) for TRACE vs C++.
9382 + corrected toggle_attr_off() macro (patch by Andries Brouwer).
9383 + modify treatment of empty token in $MANPATH to /usr/man (reported by
9384 <Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>)
9385 + modify traces that record functions-called so that chtype and attr_t
9386 values are expressed symbolically, to simplify reuse of generated
9387 test-scripts on SVr4 regression testing.
9388 + add new trace functions _traceattr2() and _tracechtype2()
9391 + add configure option --enable-const, to support the use of 'const'
9392 where XSI should have, but did not, specify. This defines
9393 NCURSES_CONST, which is an empty token otherwise, for strict
9395 + make processing of configure options more verbose by echoing the
9396 --enable/--with values.
9397 + add configure option --enable-big-core
9398 + set initial state of software echo off as per XSI.
9399 + check for C++ builtin.h header
9400 + correct computation of absolute-path for $INSTALL that dropped "-c"
9401 parameter from the expression.
9402 + rename config.h to ncurses_cfg.h to avoid naming-conflict when
9403 ncurses is integrated into larger systems (adapted from diffs by
9405 + correct inequality in lib_doupdate.c that caused a single-char to not
9406 be updated when the char on the right-margin was not blank, idcok()
9407 was true (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov (in 970124), reported
9408 by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu> in 970329).
9409 + modify 'clean' rule in include/Makefile so that files created by
9410 configure script are removed in 'distclean' rule instead.
9413 + correct array limit in tparam_internal(), add case to interpret "%x"
9414 (patch by Andreas Schwab)
9415 + rewrote number-parsing in ncurses.c 'd' test; it did not reset the
9416 value properly when non-numeric characters were given (reported by
9417 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
9420 + move definition of __INTERNAL_CAPS_VISIBLE before include for
9421 progs.priv.h (patch by David MacKenzie).
9422 + add configuration summary, reordered check for default include
9423 directory to better accommodate a case where installer is configuring
9424 a second copy of ncurses (reported by Klaus Weide
9425 <kweide@tezcat.com>)
9426 + moved the #define for 'inline' as an empty token from the
9427 $(CFLAGS_DEBUG) symbol into config.h, to avoid redefinition warning
9428 (reported by Ward Horner).
9429 + modify test for bool builtin type to use 'unsigned' rather than
9430 'unknown' when cross-compiling (reported by Ward Horner).
9433 + add header dependencies so that "make install.libs" will succeed
9434 even if "make all" is not done first.
9435 + moved some macros from lib_doupdate.c to curses.priv.h to use in
9436 expanded functions with ATAC.
9437 + correct implementation of lib_instr.c; both XSI and SVr4 agree that
9438 the winnstr functions can return more characters than will fit on one
9442 + modify script that generates lib_gen.c to support traces of called &
9444 + add new configure option "--disable-macros", for testing calls within
9446 + corrected logic that screens level-checking of called/return traces.
9449 + use new configure macro NC_SUBST to replace AC_PATH_PROG, better
9450 addressing request by Ward Horner.
9451 + check for cross-compiling before trying to invoke the autoconf
9452 AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED macro (reported by Ward Horner)
9453 + correct/simplify loop in _nc_visbuf(), 970201 changes omitted
9454 a pointer-increment.
9455 + eliminate obsolete symbol SHARED_ABI from dist.mk (noted by
9459 + add configure option --enable-expanded, together with code that
9460 implements an expanded form of certain complex macros, for testing
9462 + disable CHECK_POSITION unless --with-assertions is configured
9463 (Alexander V Lukyanov pointed out that this is redundant).
9464 + use keyname() to show traced chtype values where applicable rather
9465 than _tracechar(), which truncates the value to 8-bits.
9466 + minor fixes to TRACE_ICALLS, added T_CREATE, TRACE_CCALLS macros.
9467 + modify makefiles in progs and test directories to avoid using C
9468 preprocessor options on link commands (reported by Ward Horner)
9469 + correct ifdef/include-order for nc_alloc.h vs lib_freeall.c (reported
9471 + modify ifdef's to use configure-defined symbols consistently
9472 (reported by Ward Horner)
9473 + add/use new makefile symbols AR, AR_OPTS and LD to assist in non-UNIX
9474 ports (reported by Ward Horner <whorner@tsi-telsys.com>)
9475 + rename struct try to struct tries, to avoid name conflict with C++
9476 (reported by Gary Johnson).
9477 + modify worm.c to hide cursor while running.
9478 + add -Wcast-qual to gcc warnings, fix accordingly.
9479 + use PutChar rather than PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to properly handle
9480 wrapping (Alexander V Lukyanov).
9481 + correct spurious echoing of input in hanoi.c from eric's #291 & #292
9482 patches (reported by Vernon C. Hoxie <vern@zebra.alphacdc.com>).
9483 + extend IRIX configuration to IRIX64
9484 + supply missing install.libs rule needed after restructuring
9488 + modify "make mostlyclean" to leave automatically-generated source
9489 in the ncurses directory, for use in cross-compiles.
9490 + autogenerated object-dependencies for test directory
9491 + add configure option --with-rcs-ids
9492 + modify configuration scripts to generate major/minor/patch versions
9493 (suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
9494 + supply missing va_end's in lib_scanw.c

9496 + add TRACE_ICALLS definition/support to lib_trace.c
9497 + modify Ada95 binding to work with GNAT 3.09 (Juergen Pfeifer).
9500 + add/modify traces for called/return values to simplify extraction
9502 + changed _nc_visbuf to quote its result, and to dynamically allocate
9503 the returned buffer.
9504 + invoke ldconfig after installing shared library
9505 + modify install so that overwrite applies to shared library -lcurses
9506 in preference to static library (reported by Zeyd M Ben-Halim 960928).
9507 + correct missing ';' in 961221 mod to overwrite optional use of $(LN_S)
9509 + fixes to allow "make install" to work without first doing a "make
9510 all" (suggested by Larry Virden).
9513 + correct order of #ifdef for TABS_OK.
9514 + instrumented toe.c to test memory-leaks.
9515 + correct memory-deallocation in toe.c (patch by Jesse Thilo).
9516 + include <sys/types.h> in configuration test for regex.h (patch by
9518 + make infocmp recognize -I option, for SVr4 compatibility (reported by
9519 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
9522 + add extension 'use_default_colors()', modified test applications that
9523 use default background (firework, gdc, hanoi, knight, worm) to
9525 + correct some limit checks in lib_doupdate.c exposed while running
9527 + use typeCalloc macro for readability.
9528 + add/use definition for CONST to accommodate testing with Solaris
9529 (SVr4) curses, which doesn't use 'const' in its prototypes.
9530 + modify ifdef's in test/hashtest.c and test/view.c to compile with
9532 + modify _tracedump() to pad pad colors & attrs lines to match change
9533 in 970101 showing first/last changes.
9534 + corrected location of terminating null on dynamically allocated forms
9535 fields (patch by Per Foreby).
9538 + added headers to make view.c compile on SCO with the resizeterm()
9539 code (i.e., struct winsize) - though this compiles, I don't have a
9540 suitable test configuration since SIGWINCH doesn't pass my network to
9541 that machine - T.Dickey.
9542 + update test/configure.in to supply some default substitutions.
9543 + modify configure script to add -lncurses after -lgpm to fix problem
9544 linking against static libraries.
9545 + add a missing noraw() to test/ncurses.c (places noted by Jeremy
9547 + add a missing wclear() to test/testcurs.c (patch by Jeremy Buhler
9548 <jbuhler@cs.washington.edu>)
9549 + modify headers to accommodate compilers that don't allow duplicate
9550 "#define" lines for NCURSES_VERSION (reported by Larry W. Virden
9552 + fix formatting glitch in curs_getch.3x (patch by Jesse Thilo).
9553 + modify lib_doupdate to make el, el1 and ed optimization use the
9554 can_clear_with macro, and change EmitRange to allow leaving cursor at
9555 the middle of interval, rather than always at the end (patch by
9556 Alexander V Lukyanov). This was originally 960929, resync 970106.
9559 + workaround defect in autoconf 2.12 (which terminates configuration
9560 if no C++ compiler is found) by adding an option --without-cxx.
9561 + modify several man-pages to use tbl, where .nf/.fi was used (reported
9563 + correct font-codes in some man-pages (patch by Jesse Thilo
9564 <Jesse.Thilo@pobox.com>)
9565 + use configure script's knowledge of existence of g++ library for the
9566 c++ Makefile (reported by Paul Jackson).
9567 + correct misleading description of --datadir configuration option
9568 (reported by Paul Jackson <pj@sam.engr.sgi.com>)
9571 + several corrections to _nc_mvcur_scrolln(), prompted by a bug report
9573 > the logic for non_dest_scroll_region was interchanged between the
9574 forward & reverse scrolling cases.
9575 > multiple returns from the function allowed certain conditions to do
9576 part of an operation before discovering that it couldn't be
9577 completed, returning an error without restoring the cursor.
9578 > some returns were ERR, where the function had completed the
9579 operation, because the insert/delete line logic was improperly
9580 tested (this was probably the case Peter saw).
9581 > contrary to comments, some scrolling cases were tested after the
9582 insert/delete line method.
9583 + modify _tracedump() to show first/last changes.
9584 + modify param of ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c to 'newscr', fixes
9585 refresh problem (reported by Peter Wemm) that caused nvi to not show
9586 result of ":r !ls" until a ^L was typed.
9588 961229 (internal alpha)
9589 + correct some of the writable-strings warnings (reported by Gary
9590 Johnson <gjohnson@season.com>). Note that most of the remaining ones
9591 are part of the XSI specification, and can't be "fixed".
9592 + improve include-dependencies in form, menu, panel directories.
9593 + correct logic of delay_output(), which would return early if
9594 there is data on stdin.
9595 + modify interface & logic of _nc_timed_wait() to support 2 file
9596 descriptors, needed for GPM.
9597 + integrate patch by Andrew Kuchling <amk@magnet.com> for GPM (mouse)
9598 support, correcting logic in wgetch() and _nc_mouse_parse() which
9599 prevented patch from working properly -TD
9600 + improve performance of panel algorithm (Juergen Pfeifer 961203).
9601 + strip RCS id's from generated .html files in Ada95 subtree.
9602 + resync with generated .html files (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
9603 + terminfo.src 10.1.0 (ESR).
9606 + release as 4.0 to accommodate Linux ld.so.1.8.5
9607 + correct syntax/spelling, regenerated .doc files from .html using
9609 + refined forms/menus makefiles (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
9612 + remove logic in read_entry.c that attempts to refine errno by using
9613 'access()' for the directory (from patch by Florian La Roche).
9614 + correct configure test/substitution that inhibits generating
9615 include-path to /usr/include if gcc is used (reported by Florian La
9617 + modify setupterm() to allocate new TERMINAL for each call, just as
9618 solaris' curses does (Alexander V Lukyanov 960829).
9619 + corrected memory leaks in read_entry.c
9620 + add configure options --with-dbmalloc, --with-dmalloc, and
9621 --disable-leaks, tested by instrumenting infocmp, ncurses programs.
9622 + move #include's for stdlib.h and string.h to *.priv.h to accommodate
9624 + modify use of $(LN_S) to follow recommendation in autoconf 2.12,
9625 i.e., set current directory before linking.
9626 + split-out panel.priv.h, improve dependencies for forms, menus
9627 (Juergen Pfeifer 961204).
9628 + modify _nc_freewin() to reset globals curscr/newscr/stdscr when
9629 freeing the corresponding WINDOW (found using Purify).
9630 + modify delwin() to return ERR if the window to be deleted has
9631 subwindows, needed as a side-effect of resizeterm() (found using
9632 Purify). Tested and found that SVr4 curses behaves this way.
9633 + implement logic for _nc_freeall(), bringing stub up to date.
9636 + modify wbkgd() so that it doesn't set nulls in the rendered text,
9637 even if its argument doesn't specify a character (fixes test case by
9638 Juergen Pfeifer for bug-report).
9639 + set window-attributes in wbkgd(), to simplify comparison against
9640 Solaris curses, which does this.
9643 + replace most constants in ncurses 'o' test by expressions, making it
9644 work with wider range of screen sizes.
9645 + add options to ncurses.c to specify 'e' test softkey format, and the
9646 number of header/footer lines to rip-off.
9647 + add ^R (repaint after resize), ^L (refresh) commands to ncurses 'p'
9649 + add shell-out (!) command to ncurses 'p' test to allow test of
9650 resize between endwin/refresh.
9651 + correct line-wrap case in mvcur() by emitting carriage return,
9652 overlooked in 960928, but needed due to SVr4 compatibility changes to
9653 terminal modes in 960907.
9654 + correct logic in wresize that causes new lines to be allocated,
9655 broken for the special case of increasing rows only in 960907's fix
9657 + modify configure script to generate $(LDFLAGS) with -L and -l options
9658 in preference to explicit library filenames. (NOTE: this may
9659 require further amending, since I vaguely recall a dynamic loader
9660 that did not work properly without the full names, but it should be
9661 handled as an exception to the rule, since some linkers do bulk
9662 inclusion of libraries when given the full name - T.Dickey).
9663 + modify configure script to allow user-supplied $CFLAGS to set the
9664 debug-option in all libraries (requested by lots of people) -TD
9665 + use return consistently from main(), rather than exit (reported by
9667 + add --enable-getcap-cache option to configure, normally disabled
9668 (requested by Florian La Roche).
9669 + make configure test for gettimeofday() and possibly -lbsd more
9670 efficient (requested by Florian La Roche <florian@knorke.saar.de>)
9671 + minor adjustments to Ada95 binding (patches by Juergen Pfeifer)
9672 + correct attributes after emitting orig_pair in lib_vidattr.c (patch
9673 by Alexander V Lukyanov).
9676 + corrected README wrt Ada95 (Juergen Pfeifer)
9679 + integrate resizeterm() into doupdate(), so that if screen size
9680 changes between endwin/refresh, ncurses will resize windows to fit
9681 (this needs additional testing with pads and softkeys).
9682 + add, for memory-leak testing, _nc_freeall() entrypoint to free all
9683 data used in ncurses library.
9684 + initialize _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok statically to resolve discrepancy
9685 between initscr() and newwin() initialization (reported by
9686 Alexander V Lukyanov).
9687 + test built VERSION=4.0, SHARED_ABI=4 with Linux ld.so.1.8.5
9688 (set beta versions to those values -- NOTE that subsequent pre-4.0
9689 beta may not be interchangeable).
9690 + modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.12
9692 961130 1.9.9g release
9693 + add copyright notices to configuration scripts (written by Thomas

9715 panel library (Juergen Pfeifer)
9716 + change set_panel_userptr() and panel_userptr() to use void*
9721 + package with 961119 version of Ada95 binding (fixes for gnat-3.07).
9723 + correct initialization of the stdscr pseudo panel in panel library
9725 + use MODULE_ID (rcs keywords) in forms and menus libraries (Juergen
9728 + typo in curs_termcap man page (reported by Hendrik Reichel
9729 <106065.2344@compuserve.com>)
9730 + change default xterm entry to xterm-r6.
9731 + add entry for color_xterm
9734 + lint found several functions that had only #define implementations
9735 (e.g., attr_off), modified curses.h.in to generate them as per XSI
9736 Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
9737 + add check in infocmp.c to guard against string compare of
9738 CANCELLED_STRING values.
9739 + modify firework.c, rain.c to hide cursor while running.
9740 + correct missing va_end in lib_tparm.c
9741 + modify hanoi.c to work on non-color terminals, and to use timing
9742 delays when in autoplay mode.
9743 + correct 'echochar()' to refresh immediately (reported by Adrian
9744 Garside <94ajg2@eng.cam.ac.uk>)
9746 + reorganize terminfo.src entries for xterm.
9749 + corrected error in line-breakout logic (lib_doupdate.c)
9750 + modified newdemo to use wgetch(win) rather than getch() to eliminate
9751 a spurious clear-screen.
9752 + corrected ifdef's for 'poll()' configuration.
9753 + added modules to ncurses, form, menu for Ada95 binding (Juergen
9755 + modify set_field_buffer() to allow assignment of string longer than
9756 the initial buffer length, and to return the complete string rather
9757 than only the initial size (Juergen Pfeifer and Per Foreby
9761 + configure for 'poll()' in preference to 'select()', since older
9762 systems are more likely to have a broken 'select()'.
9763 + modified render_char() to avoid OR'ing colors.
9764 + minor fixes to testcurs.c, newdemo.c test programs: ifdef'd out the
9765 resize test, use wbkgd and corrected box() parameters.
9766 + make flushinp() test work in ncurses.c by using napms() instead of
9768 + undo ESR's changes to xterm-x11r6 (it no longer matched the X11R6.1
9769 distribution, as stated)
9770 + terminfo 9.13.18 resync (ESR)
9771 + check for getenv("HOME") returning null (ESR).
9772 + change buffer used to decode xterm-mouse commands to unsigned to

9779 not be OR'd (Juergen Pfeifer, extending from report/patch by Rick
9783 + reset flags in 'getwin()' that might cause refresh to attempt to
9784 manipulate the non-existent parent of a window that is read from a
9785 file (lib_screen.c).
9786 + restructure _nc_timed_wait() to log more information, and to try to
9787 recover from badly-behaved 'select()' calls (still testing this).
9788 + move define for GOOD_SELECT into configure script.
9789 + corrected extra '\' character inserted before ',' in comp_scan.c
9790 + corrected expansion of %-format characters in dump_entry.c; some were
9791 rendered as octal constants.
9792 + modify dump_entry.c to make terminfo output more readable and like
9793 SVr4, by using "\s" for spaces (leading/trailing only), "\," for
9794 comma, "\^" and "\:" as well.
9795 + corrected some memory leaks in ncurses.c, and a minor logic error
9796 in the top-level command-parser.
9797 + correction for label format 4 (PC style with info line), a
9798 slk_clear(), slk_restore() sequence didn't redraw the info line
9800 + modified the slk window (if simulated) to inherit the background and
9801 default character attributes from stdscr (Juergen Pfeifer).

9822 + correct _nc_mvcur_scrolln for terminals w/o scrolling region.
9823 + add -x option to hashtest to control whether it allows writes to the
9825 + ifdef'd (NCURSES_TEST) the logic for _nc_optimize_enable to make it
9826 simpler to construct tests (for double-check of _nc_hash_map tests).
9827 + correct ifdef's for c++ in curses.h
9828 + change default xterm type to xterm-x11r6.
9829 + correct quoting in configure that made man-pages installed with
9830 $datadir instead of actual terminfo path.
9831 + correct whitespace in include/Caps, which caused kf11, clr_eol and
9832 clr_end to be omitted from terminfo.5

9845 + ifdef'd out _nc_hash_map (still slower)
9846 + add graphic characters to vt52 description.
9847 + use PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to ensure proper background, position.
9848 + simplify/correct logic in 'mvcur()' that does wrapping; it was
9849 updating the position w/o actually moving the cursor, which broke
9851 + ensure that 'doupdate()' sets the .oldindex values back to a sane
9852 state; this was causing a spurious refresh in ncurses 'r'.
9853 + add logic to configure (from vile) to guard against builders who
9854 don't remove config.cache & config.status when doing new builds -TD
9855 + corrected logic for 'repeat_char' in EmitRange (cf: eric #317), which
9856 did not follow the 2-parameter scheme specified in XSI.

9906 (enhancement suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
9907 + make storage of palette tables and their size counts per-screen for
9908 multi-terminal applications (suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
9909 + Improved error reporting for infotocap translation errors.
9910 + Update terminfo.src to 9.13.14.
9913 + rewrote wgetstr to make it erase control chars and also fix bogus use
9914 of _nc_outstr which caused the display to not wrap properly (display
9915 problem reported by John M. Flinchbaugh <glynis@netrax.net>)
9916 + modify ncurses 'f' test to accommodate terminal responses to C1 codes
9917 (and split up this screen to accommodate non-ANSI terminals).
9918 + test enter_insert_mode and exit_insert_mode in has_ic().
9919 + removed bogus logic in mvcur that assumes nl/nonl set output modes
9920 (XSI says they are input modes; SVr4 implements this).
9921 + added macros SET_TTY, GET_TTY to term.h
9922 + correct getstr() logic that altered terminal modes w/o restoring.
9923 + disable ICRNL, etc., during initialization to match SVr4, removing
9924 the corresponding logic from raw, cbreak, etc.
9925 + disable ONLCR during initialization, to match SVr4 (this is needed
9926 for cursor optimization when the cursor-down is a newline).
9927 + replaced ESR's imitation of wresize with my original (his didn't
9931 + memory leaks (Alexander V. Lukyanov).
9932 + modified pnoutrefresh() to be more tolerant of too-large screen
9933 size (reported by Michael Elkins).
9934 + correct handling of terminfo files with no strings (Philippe De
9936 + correct "tic -s" to take into account -I, -C options.
9937 + modify ncurses 'f' test to not print codes 80 through 9F, since they
9938 are considered control codes by ANSI terminals.
9941 + correct speed variable-type in 'tgetent()' (reported by Peter Wemm)
9942 + make "--enable-getcap" configuration-option work (reported by
9943 Peter Wemm <peter@spinner.DIALix.COM>)
9946 + correct err in 960817 that changed return-value of tigetflag()
9947 (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov).

10006 null), and tests that use it.
10007 + more corrections to terminfo (xterm & rxvt)
10008 + undid change to mcprint prototype (cannot use size_t in curses.h

10115 + corrected two logic errors in read_entry.c, write_entry.c (called by
10116 tic, the write/read of terminfo entries used inconsistent rules for

10305 ### ncurses-1.9.8a -> 1.9.9e
10307 * fixed broken wsyncup()/wysncdown(), as a result wnoutrefresh() now has
10308 copy-changed-lines behavior.

10333 * support infocmp -RBSD.
10334 * satisfy XSI Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
10335 * This represents the last big change to the public interface of ncurses. The
10336 ABI_VERSION has now been set at 3.0 and should stay there barring any great
10337 catastrophies or acts of God.
10338 * The C++ has been cleaned up in reaction to the changes to satisfy XSI's
10340 * libncurses now gets linked to libcurses to help seamless emulation

10360 * added fallback-entry-list feature.
10361 * added -i option to infocmp(1).
10362 * do a better job at detecting if we're on SCO.
10364 ### ncurses-1.9.5 -> 1.9.6
10366 * handling of TERMCAP environment variables now works correctly.

10421 appropriate, fixed some shadowed variables, change attr_t to compatible with
10422 chtype, use attr_t in some places where it was confused with 'int'.
10423 * use chtype/attr_t casts as appropriate to ensure portability of masking
10425 * added-back waddchnstr() to lib_addstr.c (it had been deleted).
10426 * supplied missing prototypes in curses.h

10428 are consistent (they weren't).
10429 * corrected prototype of tputs in <termcap.h>
10430 * rewrote varargs parsing in lib_tparm.c (to avoid referencing memory
10431 that may be out of bounds on the stack) -- Purify found this.
10432 * ensure that TRACE is defined in lib_trace.c (to solve prototype
10433 warnings from gcc).

10442 ### ncurses 1.8.8 -> 1.8.9
10444 * compile (mostly) clean with gcc 2.5.8 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
10445 -Wmissing-prototypes -Wconversion and using __attribute__ to flush out
10446 non-portable use of "%x" for pointers, or for chtype data (which is declared
10448 * modified doupdate to ensure that typahead was turned on before attempting
10449 select-call (otherwise, some implementations hang).
10450 * added trace mask TRACE_FIFO, use this in lib_getch.c to allow finer
10451 resolution of traces.
10452 * improved bounds checking on several critical functions.
10453 * the data directory has been replaced by the new master terminfo file.
10454 * -F file-comparison option added to infocmp.
10455 * compatibility with XSI Curses is now documented in the man bages.
10456 * wsyncup/wsyncdown functions are reliable now; subwindow code in general
10457 is much less flaky.
10458 * capabilities ~msgr, tilde_glitch, insert_padding, generic_type, no_pad_char,
10459 memory_above, memory_below, and hard_copy are now used properly.
10460 * cursor-movement optimization has been completely rewritten.

10467 It also uses the kernel's new method of changing charsets.
10468 * initscr() will EXIT upon error (as the docs say) This wil mostly happen if
10469 you try to run on an undefined terminal.
10470 * I can get things running on AIX but tic can't compile terminfo. I have to
10471 compile entries on another machine. Volunteers to hunt this bug are welcome.
10472 * wbkgd() and wbkgdset() can be used to set a windows background to color.
10473 wclear()/werase() DO NOT use the current attribute to clear the screen.
10474 This is the way SVR4 curses works. PDCurses 2.1 is broken in this respect,
10475 though PDCurses 2.2 has been fixed.
10476 * cleaned up the test/ directory.
10477 * test/worm will segfault after quite a while.
10478 * many spelling corrections courtesy of Thomas E. Dickey
10480 ### ncurses 1.8.6 -> 1.8.7
10481 * cleaned up programs in test/ directory.
10482 * fixed wbkgdset() macro.
10483 * modified getstr() to stop it from advancing cursor in noecho mode.
10484 * modified linux terminfo entry to work with the latest kernel to get
10485 the correct alternate character set.
10486 * also added a linux-mono entry for those running on monochrome screens.
10487 * changed initscr() so that it behaves like the man page says it does.
10488 this fixes the problem with programs in test/ crashing with SIGSEV if
10489 a terminal is undefined.
10490 * modified addch() to avoid using any term.h #define's
10491 * removed duplicate tgoto() in lib_tparm.c
10492 * modified dump_entry.c so that infocmp deals correctly with ',' in acsc
10493 * modified delwin() to correctly handle deleting subwindows.
10494 * fixed Makefile.dist to stop installing an empty curses.h
10495 * fixed a couple of out-of-date notes in man pages.
10497 ### ncurses 1.8.5 -> 1.8.6
10498 * Implemented wbkgd(), bkgd(), bkgdset(), and wbkgdset().
10499 * The handling of attributes has been improved and now does not turn off color
10500 if other attributes are turned off.
10501 * scrolling code is improved. Scrolling in subwindows is still broken.
10502 * Fixes to several bugs that manifest them on platforms other than Linux.
10503 * The default to meta now depends on the status of the terminal when ncurses
10505 * The interface to the tracing facility has changed. Instead of the pair of
10506 functions traceon() and traceoff(), there is just one function trace() which
10507 takes a trace mask argument. The trace masks, defined in curses.h, are
10510 #define TRACE_DISABLE 0x00 /* turn off tracing */
10511 #define TRACE_ORDINARY 0x01 /* ordinary trace mode */
10512 #define TRACE_CHARPUT 0x02 /* also trace all character outputs */
10513 #define TRACE_MAXIMUM 0x0f /* maximum trace level */
10515 More trace masks may be added, or these may be changed, in future releases.
10516 * The pad code has been improved and the pad test code in test/ncurses.c has
10518 * The prototype ansi entry has been changed to work with a wider variety
10520 * Fix to the prototype ansi entry that enables it to work with PC emulators
10521 that treat trailing ";m" in a highlight sequence as ";0m"; this doesn't
10522 break operation with any emulators.
10523 * There are now working infocmp, captoinfo, tput, and tclear utilities.
10524 * tic can now compile entries in termcap syntax.
10525 * Core-dump bug in pnoutrefresh fixed.
10526 * We now recognize and compile all the nonstandard capabilities in Ross
10527 Ridge's mytinfo package (rendering it obsolete).
10528 * General cleanup and documentation improvements.
10529 * Fixes and additions to the installation-documentation files.
10530 * Take cursor to normal mode on endwin.
10532 ### ncurses 1.8.4 -> 1.8.5
10533 * serious bugs in updating screen which caused erratic non-display,
10535 * fixed initialization for getch() related variable which cause
10536 unpredictable results.
10537 * fixed another doupdate bug which only appeared if you have
10539 * implemented redrawln() and redrawwin().
10540 * implemented winsnstr() and related functions.
10541 * cleaned up insertln() and deleteln() and implemented (w)insdeln().
10542 * changed Makefile.dist so that installation of man pages will
10543 take note of the terminfo directory.
10544 * fixed Configure (removed the mysterious 'X').
10545 * Eric S. Raymond fixed the script.* files so that they work with
10548 #### ncurses 1.8.3 -> 1.8.4 #### ####
10549 * fixed bug in refreshing the screen after return from shell_mode.
10550 There are still problems but they don't manifest themselves on
10551 my machine (Linux 0.99.14f).
10552 * added wgetnstr() and modified things accordingly.
10553 * fixed the script.src script.test to work with awk not just gawk.
10554 * Configure can now take an argument of the target system.
10555 * added test/ncurses.c which replaces several other programs and
10556 performs more testing.
10557 [Thanks to Eric S Raymond for the last 4]
10558 * more fixes to lib_overlay.c and added test/over.c to illustrate
10560 * fixed ungetch() to take int instead of ch.
10561 * fixes to cure wgetch() if flushinp() is called.
10563 One note I forgot to mention in 1.8.3 is that tracing is off by
10564 default starting in the version. If you want tracing output, put
10565 traceon(); in your code and link with -ldcurses.
10567 #### ncurses 1.8.2 -> ncurses 1.8.3 #### ####
10569 1) The order of capabilities has been changed in order to achieve
10570 binary compatibility with SVR4 terminfo database. This has the
10571 unfortunate effect of breaking application currently linked with
10572 ncurses. To ensure correct behavior, recompile all such programs.
10573 Most programs using color or newer capabilities will break, others
10574 will probably continue to work ok.
10576 2) Pavel Curtis has renounced his copyright to the public domain.
10577 This means that his original sources (posted to comp.sources.unix,
10578 volume 1) are now in the public domain. The current sources are
10579 NOT in the public domain, they are copyrighted by me. I'm
10580 entertaining ideas on what the new terms ncurses is released under.
10582 3) Eric S. Raymond has supplied a complete set of man pages for
10583 ncurses in ?roff format. They will eventually replace most of the
10584 current docs. Both sets are included in this release.
10586 Other changes and notes from 1.8.2 include:
10587 * SIGSEGV during scrolling no longer occurs.
10588 * Other problems with scrolling and use of idl have been corrected.
10589 * lib_getch.c has been re-written and should perform flawlessly.
10590 please use test/getch.c and any other programs to test this.
10591 * ripoffline() is implemented (Thanks to Eric) and slk_ functions
10592 changed accordingly.
10593 * I've added support for terminals that scroll if you write in the
10594 bottom-right corner.
10595 * fixed more bugs in pads code. If anybody has a program that uses
10596 pads I'd love a copy.
10597 * correct handling for terminal with back_color_erase capability
10598 (such as Linux console, and most PC terminals)
10599 * ^Z handling apparently didn't work (I should never trust code
10600 sent me to me without extensive testing). It now seems to be
10601 fixed. Let me know if you have problems.
10602 * I've added support for Apollo and NeXT, but it may still be
10603 incomplete, especially when dealing with the lack of POSIX
10605 * scrolling should be more efficient on terminals with idl
10606 capabilities. Please see src/lib_scroll.c for more notes.
10607 * The line drawing routines were offset by 1 at both ends. This
10609 * added a few missing prototypes and macros (e.g. setterm())
10610 * fixed code in src/lib_overlay.c which used to crash.
10611 * added a few more programs in test/ The ones from the PDCurses
10612 package are useful, especially if you have SVR4 proper. I'm
10613 interested in the results you get on such a systems (Eric? ;-).
10614 They already exposed certain bugs in ncurses.
10615 * See src/README for porting notes.
10616 * The C++ code should really replace ncurses.h instead of working
10617 around it. It should avoid name-space clashes with nterm.h (use
10618 rows instead of lines, etc.)
10619 * The C++ should compile ok. I've added explicit rules to the
10620 Makefile because no C++ defaults are documented on the suns.
10621 * The docs say that echo() and nocbreak() are mutually exclusive.
10622 At the moment ncurses will switch to cbreak() if the case above
10623 occurs. Should it continue to do so? How about echo() and noraw()?
10624 * PDCurses seem to assume that wclear() will use current attribute
10625 when clearing the screen. According to Eric this is not the case
10627 * I have discovered, to my chagrin, SunOS 4.x (and probably other systems)
10628 * doesn't have vsscanf and God knows what else! I've will do a vsscanf().
10629 * I've also found out that the src/script.* rely on gawk and will not
10630 work with stock awk or even with nawk. Any changes are welcome.
10631 * Linux is more tolerant of NULL dereferences than most systems. This
10632 fact was exposed by hanoi.
10633 * ncurses still seems inefficient in drawing the screen on a serial
10634 link between Linux and suns. The padding may be the culprit.
10635 * There seems to be one lingering problem with doupdate() after shelling
10636 out. Despite the fact the it is sending out the correct information
10637 to the terminal, nothing takes effect until you press ^L or another
10638 refresh takes place. And yes, output does get flushed.
10640 #### ncurses 1.8.1 -> ncurses 1.8.2 #### Nov 28, 1993 ####
10642 * added support for SVR4 and BSDI's BSD/386.
10643 * major update and fix to scrolling routine.
10644 * MORE fixes to stuff in lib_getch.c.
10645 * cleaned-up configuration options and can now generate
10646 Config.* files through an awk script.
10647 * changed setupterm() so it can be called more than once,
10648 add added set_curterm(), del_curterm().
10649 * a few minor cleanups.
10650 * added more prototypes in curses.h
10652 #### ncurses 1.8 -> ncurses 1.8.1 #### Nov 4, 1993 ####
10654 * added support for NeXTStep 3.0
10655 * added termcap emulation (not well tested).
10656 * more complete C++ interface to ncurses.
10657 * fixed overlay(), overwrite(), and added copywin().
10658 * a couple of bug fixes.
10659 * a few code cleanups.
10661 #### ncurses 0.7.2/0.7.3 -> ncurses 1.8 #### Aug 31, 1993 ####
10663 * The annoying message "can't open file." was due to missing
10664 terminfo entry for the used terminal. It has now been
10665 replaced by a hopefully more helpful message.
10666 * Problems with running on serial lines are now fixed.
10667 * Added configuration files for SunOS, Linux, HP/UX, Ultrix,
10668 386bsd/BSDI (if you have others send'em to me)
10669 * Cleaner Makefile.
10670 * The documentation in manual.doc is now more uptodate.
10671 * update optimization and support for hp terminals, and 386bsd
10673 * mvcur optimization for terminals without cursor addressing
10674 (doesn't work on Linux)
10675 * if cursor moved since last update, getch() will refresh the
10676 screen before working.
10677 * getch() & alarm() can now live together. in 0.7.3 a signal
10678 interrupted getch() (bug or feature?) now the getch is
10680 * scanw() et all were sick, now fixed.
10681 * support for 8-bit input (use meta()).
10682 * added default screen size to all terminfos.
10683 * added c++ Ncursesw class.
10684 * several minor bug fixes.
10686 #### ncurses 0.7.2 -> ncurses 0.7.3 #### May 27, 1993 ####
10688 * Config file to cope with different platforms (386BSD, BSDI, Ultrix, SunOS)
10689 * more fixes to lib_getch.c
10690 * changes related to Config
10692 #### ncurses 0.7 -> ncurses 0.7.2 #### May 22, 1993 ####
10694 * docs updated slightly (color usage is now documented).
10695 * yet another fix for getch(), this one fixes problems with ESC being swallowed
10696 if another character is typed before the 1 second timeout.
10697 * Hopefully, addstr() and addch() are 8-bit clean.
10698 * fixed lib_tparm.c to use stdarg.h (should run on suns now)
10699 * order of capabilities changed to reflect that specified in SYSV
10700 this will allow for binary-compatibility with existing terminfo dbs.
10701 * added halfdelay()
10702 * fixed problems with asc_init()
10703 * added A_PROTECT and A_INVIS
10704 * cleaned up vidputs()
10705 * general cleanup of the code
10706 * more attention to portability to other systems
10707 * added terminfos for hp70092 (wont work until changes to lib_update.c are
10708 made) and 386BSD pcvt drivers.
10710 Thanks to Hellmuth Michaelis for his help.
10711 optimization code is slated for the next major release, stay tuned!
10713 #### ncurses 0.6/0.61 -> ncurses 0.7 #### April 1, 1993
10714 Please note that the next release will be called 1.8. If you want to know about
10715 the rationale drop me a line.
10717 Included are several test programs in test/.
10718 I've split up the panels library, reversi, tetris, sokoban. They are now
10719 available separately from netcom.com:pub/zmbenhal/
10721 * color and ACS support is now fully compatible with SYSV at the terminfo
10723 * Capabilities now includes as many SYSV caps I could find.
10724 * tigetflag,tigetnum,tigetstr functions added.

10742 2) allow attributes when drawing boxes.
10744 3) corrected usage of win->_delay value.
10746 4) fixed a bug in lib_getch.c. if it didn't recognize a sequence it would
10747 simply return the last character in the sequence. The correct
10748 behavior is to return the entire sequence one character at a time.
10750 #### ncurses0.5 -> ncurses0.6 #### March 1, 1993 ####
10751 * removed _numchngd from struct _win_st and made appropriate changes.
10752 * rewritten kgetch() to remove problems with interaction between alarm and
10753 read(). It caused SIGSEGV every now and then.
10754 * fixed a bug that miscounted the numbers of columns when updating.

10796 * changed SRCDIR from /etc/term to /usr/lib/terminfo.
10797 * renamed compile/dump to tic/untic.
10798 * New scrolling code.
