127 with Charles Wilson).
128 + use ncurses*-config scripts if available for test/configure.
129 + update test/aclocal.m4 and test/configure
130 > patches by Charles Wilson:
131 + modify CF_WITH_LIBTOOL configure check to allow unreleased libtool
132 version numbers (e.g. which include alphabetic chars, as well as
133 digits, after the final '.').
134 + improve use of -no-undefined option for libtool by setting an
135 intermediate variable LT_UNDEF in the configure script, and then
136 using that in the libtool link-commands.
137 + fix an missing use of NCURSES_PUBLIC_VAR() in tinfo/MKcodes.awk
138 from 2009031 changes.
139 + improve mk-1st.awk script by writing separate cases for the
140 LIBTOOL_LINK command, depending on which library (ncurses, ticlib,
141 termlib) is to be linked.
142 + modify configure.in to allow broken-linker configurations, not just
143 enable-reentrant, to set public wrap prefix.
146 + add TICS_LIST and SHLIB_LIST to allow libtool 2.2.6 on Cygwin to
147 build with tic and term libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).
148 + add -no-undefined option to libtool for Cygwin, MinGW, U/Win and AIX
149 (report by Charles Wilson).
150 + fix definition for c++/Makefile.in's SHLIB_LIST, which did not list
151 the form, menu or panel libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).
152 + add configure option --with-wrap-prefix to allow setting the prefix
153 for functions used to wrap global variables to something other than
154 "_nc_" (discussion with Charles Wilson).
157 + modify scripts to generate ncurses*-config and pc-files to add
158 dependency for tinfo library (patch by Charles Wilson).
159 + improve comparison of program-names when checking for linked flavors
160 such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix (reports by Charles
161 Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing
163 + suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on
164 Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static libc, and
165 does not switch back to dynamic mode before finishing the libraries
166 (reports by Joel Bertrand, Alan Pae).
167 + minor fixes to Intel compiler warning checks in configure script.
168 + modify _nc_leaks_tinfo() so leak-checking in test/railroad.c works.
169 + modify set_curterm() to make broken-linker configuration work with
170 changes from 20090228 (report by Charles Wilson).
173 + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).

183 + start integrating patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
184 + add extended functions which specify the SCREEN pointer for several
185 curses functions which use the global SP (these are incomplete;
186 some internals work is needed to complete these).

202 + fix typo "==" where "=" is needed in ncurses-config.in and
203 gen-pkgconfig.in files (Debian #512161).
206 + add -shared option to MK_SHARED_LIB when -Bsharable is used, for
207 *BSD's, without which "main" might be one of the shared library's
208 dependencies (report/analysis by Ken Dickey).
209 + modify waddch_literal(), updating line-pointer after a multicolumn
210 character is found to not fit on the current row, and wrapping is
211 done. Since the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped
212 multicolumn character was written to the beginning of the current row
213 (cf: 20041023, reported by "Nick" regarding problem with ncmpc
214 http://musicpd.org/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1930).
217 + add screen.Eterm terminfo entry (GenToo #124887) -TD

223 such as adacursesw-config, for ncursesw (GenToo #167849).
226 + remove undeveloped feature in ncurses-config.in for setting
228 + recent change to ncurses-config.in did not take into account the
229 --disable-overwrite option, which sets $includedir to the
230 subdirectory and using just that for a -I option does not work - fix
231 (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
234 + modify gen-pkgconfig.in to eliminate a dependency on rpath when
235 deciding whether to add $LIBS to --libs output; that should be shown
236 for the ncurses and tinfo libraries without taking rpath into
238 + fix an overlooked change from $AR_OPTS to $ARFLAGS in mk-1st.awk,
239 used in static libraries (report by Marty Jack).
242 + add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
243 CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris (report by Dagobert Michelsen).
244 + add configure --with-pkg-config and --enable-pc-files options, along
245 with misc/gen-pkgconfig.in which can be used to generate ".pc" files
246 for pkg-config (request by Jan Engelhardt).
247 + use $includedir symbol in misc/ncurses-config.in, add --includedir
249 + change makefiles to use $ARFLAGS rather than $AR_OPTS, provide a
250 configure check to detect whether a "-" is needed before "ar"
252 + update config.guess, config.sub from
253 http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
256 + modify mk-1st.awk to work with extra categories for tinfo library.
257 + modify configure script to allow building shared libraries with gcc
258 on AIX 5 or 6 (adapted from patch by Lital Natan).
261 + modify to omit the opaque-functions from lib_gen.o when
262 --disable-ext-funcs is used.
263 + add test/clip_printw.c to illustrate how to use printw without
265 + modify ncurses 'F' test to demo wborder_set() with colored lines.
266 + modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder() with colored lines.
269 + add check for failure to open hashed-database needed for db4.6
271 + corrected --without-manpages option; previous change only suppressed
272 the auxiliary rules install.man and uninstall.man
273 + add case for FreeMINT to configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE (patch from
275 + fixes from NetBSD port at
276 http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/patches
277 patch-ac (build-fix for DragonFly)
278 patch-ae (use INSTALL_SCRIPT for installing misc/ncurses*-config).
279 + improve configure script macros CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_LIBRARY_PATH
280 by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS values to the
282 + correct title string for keybound manpage (patch by Frederic Culot,
283 OpenBSD documentation/6019),
286 + move del_curterm() call from _nc_freeall() to _nc_leaks_tinfo() to
287 work for progs/clear, progs/tabs, etc.
288 + correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character
289 set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran).
290 + add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather
291 than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that
292 ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue
293 was xterm's alternate screen feature).
294 + add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a
295 zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717,
296 adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault).
299 + improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control
300 character is found. The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to
301 obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not
302 passing color or video attributes.
303 + improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl() more consistently to
304 display meta-characters.
305 + turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h
306 + add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD
307 + correct use of key_name() in test/ncurses.c 'A' test, which only
308 displays wide-characters, not key-codes since 20070612 (report by
312 + change _nc_has_mouse() to has_mouse(), reflect its use in C++ and
313 Ada95 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
314 + document in TO-DO an issue with Cygwin's package for GNAT (report
316 + improve error-checking of command-line options in "tabs" program.
319 + change several terminfo entries to make consistent use of ANSI
321 + add "tabs" program (prompted by Debian #502260).
322 + add configure --without-manpages option (request by Mike Frysinger).
324 20081102 5.7 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
327 + add a manpage to discuss memory leaks.
328 + add support for shared libraries for QNX (other than libtool, which
329 does not work well on that platform).
330 + build-fix for QNX C++ binding.
333 + build-fixes for OS/2 EMX.
334 + modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
335 in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris (report by
337 + modify configure script to assume --without-hashed-db when
338 --disable-database is used.
339 + add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating source-files
340 to force earlier exit if the build environment fails unexpectedly
341 (prompted by patch by Adrian Bunk).
342 + change configure script to use CF_UTF8_LIB, improved variant of
346 + add teraterm4.59 terminfo entry, use that as primary teraterm entry, rename
347 original to teraterm2.3 -TD
348 + update "gnome" terminfo to 2.22.3 -TD
349 + update "konsole" terminfo to 1.6.6, needs today's fix for tic -TD
350 + add "aterm" terminfo -TD
351 + add "linux2.6.26" terminfo -TD
352 + add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined capabilities,
356 + update html documentation.
357 + add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
358 the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
359 + correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
360 + document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
361 + fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
362 + add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
363 tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
364 20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
367 + some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
368 works for C/C++ parts).
369 + improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
370 AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
373 + fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
374 strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
375 + fix build for --disable-sigwinch
376 + add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
377 GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
378 + disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
379 "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
380 that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
381 + reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
383 + fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
384 > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
385 + use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.
386 + discard internal symbol _nc_slk_format (unused since 20080112).
387 + move call of slk_paint_info() from _nc_slk_initialize() to
388 slk_intern_refresh(), improving initialization.

396 + fix a memory leak when failure to connect to GPM.
397 + correct check for notimeout() in wgetch() (report on linux.redhat
398 newsgroup by FurtiveBertie).
399 + add an example warning-suppression file for valgrind,
400 misc/ncurses.supp (based on example from Reuben Thomas)

418 is unavailable, e.g., with HPUX 10.20.
419 + add configure check for wcsrtombs, mbsrtowcs, which are used in
420 test/ncurses.c, and use wcstombs, mbstowcs instead if available,
421 fixing build of ncursew for HPUX 11.00

430 and endl, to fix a build issue with Tru64.
431 + consistently use NCURSES_BOOL in lib_gen.c
432 + filter #line's from lib_gen.c
433 + change delimiter in MKlib_gen.sh from '%' to '@', to avoid
434 substitution by IBM xlc to '#' as part of its extensions to digraphs.
435 + update config.guess, config.sub from
436 http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
437 (caveat - its maintainer removed support for older Linux systems).
440 + modify configure check for pthread library to work with OSF/1 5.1,
441 which uses #define's to associate its header and library.
442 + use pthread_mutexattr_init() for initializing pthread_mutexattr_t,

454 + add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
455 + add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
456 + modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
457 applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
458 etc. This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
460 + add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
461 using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
462 + document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted

468 + fix memory leaks in test/demo_menus
469 + fix most warnings from Klocwork tool (report by Larry Zhou).
470 + modify configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to add case for
471 "dragonfly" from xterm #236 changes.

495 + correct some ifdef's needed for the broken-linker configuration.
496 + make debugging library's $BAUDRATE feature work for termcap
498 + make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface (prompted
499 by comment on FreeBSD mailing list).
500 + add screen.mlterm terminfo entry -TD
501 + improve mlterm and mlterm+pcfkeys terminfo entries -TD
504 + regenerated html documentation.

513 + change CC_SHARED_OPTS from -KPIC to -xcode=pic32 for Solaris.
514 + add "-shared" option to MK_SHARED_LIB for gcc on Solaris (report
518 + finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the
519 window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr(). That
520 allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with
521 some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a
522 window which is being used in a wgetch().
523 + simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
526 + modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
527 parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
529 + factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
530 + add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a
531 particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
532 + add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a
533 particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
534 + add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate
535 its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN.
536 + add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in
537 preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer.
540 + modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
541 screen which must be updated.
542 + wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and
543 always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm().
544 + restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch
548 + modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and
549 --enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from
551 + corrected manpage description of setcchar() (discussion with
553 + fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line
554 (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
557 + modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix
558 overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD
559 + modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the
561 + simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and
565 + continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate
566 multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens.
567 + fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran).
570 + add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD
571 + modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from
572 being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings.
573 + improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout.

586 + add null-pointer checks to setsyx() and getsyx() (prompted by
587 discussion by Martin v. Lowis and Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on
588 python-dev2 mailing list).
591 + add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen().
592 + move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which
593 are not associated with a particular screen.
594 + change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than
595 stdscr to the callback function.
596 + force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this,
597 e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc
598 (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
599 + override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on
600 platforms such as AIX where libtool may use a different suffix for
601 the object files than ".o" (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
602 + add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX
606 + fill in extended-color pair two more places in wbkgrndset() and
607 waddch_nosync() (prompted by Sedeno's patch).
608 + fill in extended-color pair in _nc_build_wch() to make colors work
609 for wide-characters using extended-colors (patch by Alejandro R
611 + add x/X toggles to ncurses.c C color test to test/demo
612 wide-characters with extended-colors.
613 + add a/A toggles to ncurses.c c/C color tests.

628 recursive mutexes to fix memory leak in delwin() as called from
632 + fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex
633 lock/unlock when termlib was built separately.
636 + avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often
637 is implemented to suspend the entire process.
640 + update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for
641 comparisons. This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open curses
642 that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping. None of the Unix-branded
643 implementations do this, as noted in manpage (cf: 20040228).
646 + modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same
647 for both narrow/wide models. It had been set only for wide model,
648 but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model.
649 + improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by
650 using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append
651 further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A
653 + modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint().
654 If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
658 + improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE
659 handling). Now it hangs in napms(), no matter whether nanosleep()
660 or poll() or select() are used on Linux.
663 + fixes to build with --disable-ext-funcs
664 + add manpage for use_window and use_screen.
665 + add set_tabsize() and set_escdelay() functions.
668 + remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c
669 + remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's
670 adjust_window() which caused occasional misadjustment of stdscr when
674 + several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD
675 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the
676 "link_test" builds properly.
677 + fix for toe command-line options -u/-U to ensure filename is given.
678 + fix allocation-size for command-line parsing in infocmp from 20070728
679 (report by Miroslav Lichvar)

683 cleared even if a subwindow is cleared (prompted by Christer Enfors
685 + change test/ncurses.c soft-key tests to work with KEY_RESIZE.
688 + continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex

693 pass a WINDOW* parameter (request by Chris Lee).
696 + add note about configure options needed for Berkeley database to the
698 + improve checks for version of Berkeley database libraries.
699 + amend fix for rpath to not modify LDFLAGS if the platform has no
700 applicable transformation (report by Christian Ebert, cf: 20071124).
703 + modify configure option --with-hashed-db to accept a parameter which
704 is the install-prefix of a given Berkeley Database (prompted by
706 + rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb(), making it work on Solaris. This is
707 used in the form library to determine the length of the buffer needed
708 by field_buffer (report by Alfred Fung).
709 + remove unneeded window-parameter from C++ binding for wresize (report
713 + modify the support for filesystems which do not support mixed-case to
714 generate 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the lower-level of the
715 filesystem terminfo database (request by Michail Vidiassov).
716 + add configure option --enable-mixed-case, to allow overriding the
717 configure script's check if the filesystem supports mixed-case
719 + add wresize() to C++ binding (request by Chris Lee).
720 + define NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS and NCURSES_EXT_COLORS in curses.h to make
721 it simpler to tell if the extended functions and/or colors are

738 without libtic. The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
740 + add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
741 the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).
742 + fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat Bugzilla
743 #310071, patches by Miroslav Lichvar).
744 + improve performance of NCURSES_CHAR_EQ code (patch by Miroslav

747 the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
750 + add code to curses.priv.h ifdef'd with NCURSES_CHAR_EQ, which
751 changes the CharEq() macro to an inline function to allow comparing
752 cchar_t struct's without comparing gaps in a possibly unpacked
753 memory layout (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
756 + add new functions to lib_trace.c to setup mutex's for the _tracef()
757 calls within the ncurses library.
758 + for the reentrant model, move _nc_tputs_trace and _nc_outchars into
760 + start modifying test/worm.c to provide threading demo (incomplete).
761 + separated ifdef's for some BSD-related symbols in tset.c, to make
762 it compile on LynxOS (report by Greg Gemmer).
764 + modify Ada95/gen/Makefile to use shlib script, to simplify building
765 shared-library configuration on platforms lacking rpath support.
766 + build-fix for Ada95/src/Makefile to reflect changed dependency for
767 the terminal-interface-curses-aux.adb file which is now generated.
768 + restructuring test/worm.c, for use_window() example.
771 + add use_window() and use_screen() functions, to develop into support
772 for threaded library (incomplete).
773 + fix typos in man/curs_opaque.3x which kept the install script from
774 creating symbolic links to two aliases created in 20070818 (report by

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

796 + modify comp_hash.c's string output to avoid misinterpreting a null
797 "\0" followed by a digit.
798 + modify MKnames.awk and MKcodes.awk to support big-strings.
799 This only applies to the cases (broken linker, reentrant) where
800 the corresponding arrays are accessed via wrapper functions.
801 + split MKnames.awk into two scripts, eliminating the shell redirection
802 which complicated the make process and also the bogus timestamp file
803 which was introduced to fix "make -j".
804 + add test/test_opaque.c, test/test_arrays.c
805 + add wgetscrreg() and wgetparent() for applications that may need it
806 when NCURSES_OPAQUE is defined (prompted by Bryan Christ).

933 --enable-broken-linker --with-ticlib
936 + add a configure check for gcc's options for inlining, use that to
937 quiet a warning message where gcc's default behavior changed from
939 + improve warning message when checking if GPM is linked to curses
940 library by not warning if its use of "wgetch" is via a weak symbol.
941 + add loader options when building with static libraries to ensure that
942 an installed shared library for ncurses does not conflict. This is
943 reported as problem with Tru64, but could affect other platforms
944 (report Martin Mokrejs, analysis by Tim Mooney).
945 + fix build on cygwin after recent ticlib/termlib changes, i.e.,
946 + adjust TINFO_SUFFIX value to work with cygwin's dll naming

1061 identical (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
1062 + do not use configure variable SHLIB_LIBS for building libraries
1063 outside the ncurses directory, since that symbol is customized
1064 only for that directory, and using it introduces an unneeded
1065 dependency on libdl (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).

1117 + modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
1118 from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
1119 Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
1120 associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
1122 + improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
1123 + ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
1124 + add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
1125 to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
1126 + drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
1127 no longer relies on it.
1128 + disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
1129 --enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
1130 + remove tack from ncurses tree.
1133 + fix typo in configure script that broke --with-termlib option
1134 (report by Rong-En Fan).
1137 + improve fix for FreeBSD gnu/98975, to allow for null pointer passed
1138 to tgetent() (report by Rong-en Fan).
1139 + update tack/HISTORY and tack/README to tell how to build it after
1140 it is removed from the ncurses tree.
1141 + fix configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
1142 (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
1143 + review/eliminate other original-file artifacts in cursesw.cc, making
1144 its license consistent with ncurses.
1145 + use ncurses vw_scanw() rather than reading into a fixed buffer in
1146 the c++ binding for scanw() methods (prompted by report by Nuno Dias).
1147 + eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding.
1150 + add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from
1151 term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency.
1152 + fix test/mk-test.awk to ignore blank lines.
1153 + correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav
1157 + add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the
1158 _first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak).
1159 + add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the
1161 + add --with-ticlib option, to build/install the tic-support functions
1162 in a separate library (suggested by Miroslav Lichvar).
1165 + change MKunctrl.awk to reduce relocation table for unctrl.o
1166 + change MKkeyname.awk to reduce relocation table for keyname.o
1167 (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
1170 + modify configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
1171 (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
1172 + modify some modules to allow them to be reentrant if _REENTRANT is
1173 defined: lib_baudrate.c, resizeterm.c (local data only)
1174 + eliminate static data from some modules: add_tries.c, hardscroll.c,
1175 lib_ttyflags.c, lib_twait.c
1176 + improve manpage install to add aliases for the transformed program
1177 names, e.g., from --program-prefix.
1178 + used linklint to verify links in the HTML documentation, made fixes
1179 to manpages as needed.
1180 + fix a typo in curs_mouse.3x (report by William McBrine).
1181 + fix install-rule for ncurses5-config to make the bin-directory.
1184 + modify configure script to omit the tic (terminfo compiler) support
1185 from ncurses library if --without-progs option is given.
1186 + modify install rule for ncurses5-config to do this via "install.libs"
1187 + modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath.
1188 + update config.guess, config.sub
1190 20061217 5.6 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
1193 + add ifdef's for <wctype.h> for HPUX, which has the corresponding
1194 definitions in <wchar.h>.
1195 + revert the va_copy() change from 20061202, since it was neither
1196 correct nor portable.
1197 + add $(LOCAL_LIBS) definition to progs/Makefile.in, needed for
1199 + ignore wide-acs line-drawing characters that wcwidth() claims are
1200 not one-column. This is a workaround for Solaris' broken locale
1204 + modify configure --with-gpm option to allow it to accept a parameter,
1205 i.e., the name of the dynamic GPM library to load via dlopen()
1206 (requested by Bryan Henderson).
1207 + add configure option --with-valgrind, changes from vile.
1208 + modify configure script AC_TRY_RUN and AC_TRY_LINK checks to use
1209 'return' in preference to 'exit()'.
1212 + change default for --with-develop back to "no".
1213 + add XTABS to tracing of TTY bits.
1214 + updated autoconf patch to ifdef-out the misfeature which declares
1215 exit() for configure tests. This fixes a redefinition warning on
1217 + use ${CC} rather than ${LD} in shared library rules for IRIX64,
1218 Solaris to help ensure that initialization sections are provided for
1219 extra linkage requirements, e.g., of C++ applications (prompted by
1220 comment by Casper Dik in newsgroup).
1221 + rename "$target" in CF_MAN_PAGES to make it easier to distinguish
1222 from the autoconf predefined symbol. There was no conflict,
1223 since "$target" was used only in the generated edit_man.sh file,
1224 but SuSE's rpm package contains a patch.
1227 + update man/term.5 to reflect extended terminfo support and hashed
1228 database configuration.
1229 + updates for test/configure script.
1230 + adapted from SuSE rpm package:
1231 + remove long-obsolete workaround for broken-linker which declared
1233 + improve error recovery in PUTC() macro when wcrtomb() does not
1234 return usable results for an 8-bit character.
1235 + patches from rpm package (SuSE):
1236 + use va_copy() in extra varargs manipulation for tracing version
1238 + use a va_list rather than a null in _nc_freeall()'s call to
1239 _nc_printf_string().
1240 + add some see-also references in manpages to show related
1241 wide-character functions (suggested by Claus Fischer).
1244 + add a check in lib_color.c to ensure caller does not increase COLORS
1245 above max_colors, which is used as an array index (discussion with
1247 + add ifdef's allowing ncurses to be built with tparm() using either
1248 varargs (the existing status), or using a fixed-parameter list (to
1252 + fix redrawing of windows other than stdscr using wredrawln() by
1253 touching the corresponding rows in curscr (discussion with Dan
1256 + add test/echochar.c
1257 + review/cleanup manpage descriptions of error-returns for form- and
1258 menu-libraries (prompted by FreeBSD docs/46196).
1261 + add AUTHORS file -TD
1262 + omit the -D options from output of the new config script --cflags
1263 option (suggested by Ralf S Engelschall).
1264 + make NCURSES_INLINE unconditionally defined in curses.h
1267 + revert change to accommodate bash 3.2, since that breaks other
1268 platforms, e.g., Solaris.
1269 + minor fixes to NEWS file to simplify scripting to obtain list of
1271 + improve some shared-library configure scripting for Linux, FreeBSD
1272 and NetBSD to make "--with-shlib-version" work.
1273 + change configure-script rules for FreeBSD shared libraries to allow
1274 for rpath support in versions past 3.
1275 + use $(DESTDIR) in makefile rules for installing/uninstalling the
1276 package config script (reports/patches by Christian Wiese,
1277 Ralf S Engelschall).
1278 + fix a warning in the configure script for NetBSD 2.0, working around
1279 spurious blanks embedded in its ${MAKEFLAGS} symbol.
1280 + change test/Makefile to simplify installing test programs in a
1281 different directory when --enable-rpath is used.
1284 + work around bug in bash 3.2 by adding extra quotes (Jim Gifford).
1285 + add/install a package config script, e.g., "ncurses5-config" or
1286 "ncursesw5-config", according to configuration options.
1289 + add several GNU Screen terminfo variations with 16- and 256-colors,
1290 and status line (Alain Bench).
1291 + change the way shared libraries (other than libtool) are installed.
1292 Rather than copying the build-tree's libraries, link the shared
1293 objects into the install directory. This makes the --with-rpath
1294 option work except with $(DESTDIR) (cf: 20000930).
1297 + fix ifdef in c++/internal.h for QNX 6.1
1298 + test-compiled with (old) egcs-1.1.2, modified configure script to
1299 not unset the $CXX and related variables which would prevent this.
1300 + fix a few terminfo.src typos exposed by improvments to "-f" option.
1301 + improve infocmp/tic "-f" option formatting.
1304 + make --disable-largefile option work (report by Thomas M Ott).
1305 + updated html documentation.
1306 + add ka2, kb1, kb3, kc2 to vt220-keypad as an extension -TD
1307 + minor improvements to rxvt+pcfkeys -TD
1310 + move static data from lib_mouse.c into SCREEN struct.
1311 + improve ifdef's for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset to work with Mac OS X
1312 (report by Michail Vidiassov).
1313 + modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX to ensure it uses the result from --prefix
1314 option (from lynx changes) -TD
1315 + adapt AC_PROG_EGREP check, noting that this is likely to be another
1316 place aggravated by POSIXLY_CORRECT.
1317 + modify configure check for awk to ensure that it is found (prompted
1318 by report by Christopher Parker).
1322 + add kon, kon2 and jfbterm terminfo entry (request by Till Maas) -TD
1323 + remove invis capability from klone+sgr, mainly used by linux entry,
1324 since it does not really do this -TD
1327 + correct logic in wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not guard
1328 against passing the multi-column attribute into a call on waddch(),
1329 e.g., using data returned by win_wch() (cf: 20041023)
1330 (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
1333 + fix kterm's acsc string -TD
1334 + fix for change to tic/infocmp in 20060819 to ensure no blank is
1335 embedded into a termcap description.
1336 + workaround for 20050806 ifdef's change to allow visbuf.c to compile
1337 when using --with-termlib --with-trace options.
1338 + improve tgetstr() by making the return value point into the user's
1339 buffer, if provided (patch by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat Bugzilla
1341 + correct libraries needed for foldkeys (report by Stanislav Ievlev)
1344 + add terminfo entries for xfce terminal (xfce) and multi gnome
1346 + add test/foldkeys.c
1349 + modify tic and infocmp to avoid writing trailing blanks on terminfo
1350 source output (Debian #378783).
1351 + modify configure script to ensure that if the C compiler is used
1352 rather than the loader in making shared libraries, the $(CFLAGS)
1353 variable is also used (Redhat Bugzilla #199369).
1354 + port hashed-db code to db2 and db3.
1355 + fix a bug in tgetent() from 20060625 and 20060715 changes
1356 (patch/analysis by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat Bugzilla #202480)).
1359 + updated xterm function-keys terminfo to match xterm #216 -TD
1360 + add configure --with-hashed-db option (tested only with FreeBSD 6.0,
1361 e.g., the db 1.8.5 interface).
1364 + modify toe to access termcap data, e.g., via cgetent() functions,
1365 or as a text file if those are not available.
1366 + use _nc_basename() in tset to improve $SHELL check for csh/sh.
1367 + modify _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_termcap_entry() so infocmp,
1368 can access termcap data when the terminfo database is disabled.
1371 + widen the test for xterm kmous a little to allow for other strings
1372 than \E[M, e.g., for xterm-sco functionality in xterm.
1373 + update xterm-related terminfo entries to match xterm patch #216 -TD
1374 + update config.guess, config.sub
1377 + fix for install-rule in Ada95 to add terminal_interface.ads
1378 and terminal_interface.ali (anonymous posting in comp.lang.ada).
1379 + correction to manpage for getcchar() (report by William McBrine).
1381 + modify wchgat() to mark updated cells as changed so a refresh will
1382 repaint those cells (comments by Sadrul H Chowdhury and William
1384 + split up dependency of names.c and codes.c in ncurses/Makefile to
1385 work with parallel make (report/analysis by Joseph S Myers).
1386 + suppress a warning message (which is ignored) for systems without
1387 an ldconfig program (patch by Justin Hibbits).
1388 + modify configure script --disable-symlinks option to allow one to
1389 disable symlink() in tic even when link() does not work (report by
1391 + modify MKfallback.sh to use tic -x when constructing fallback tables
1392 to allow extended capabilities to be retrieved from a fallback entry.
1393 + improve leak-checking logic in tgetent() from 20060625 to ensure that
1394 it does not free the current screen (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
1397 + add a check for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset (NetBSD #33916).
1398 + correct _nc_free_entries() and related functions used for memory leak
1402 + revert a minor change for magic-cookie support from 20060513, which
1403 caused unexpected reset of attributes, e.g., when resizing test/view
1405 + note in clear manpage that the program ignores command-line
1406 parameters (prompted by Debian #371855).
1407 + fixes to make lib_gen.c build properly with changes to the configure
1408 --disable-macros option and NCURSES_NOMACROS (cf: 20060527)
1409 + update/correct several terminfo entries -TD
1410 + add some notes regarding copyright to terminfo.src -TD
1413 + fixes to build Ada95 binding with gnat-4.1.0
1414 + modify read_termtype() so the term_names data is always allocated as
1415 part of the str_table, a better fix for a memory leak (cf: 20030809).
1416 + reduce memory leaks in repeated calls to tgetent() by remembering the
1417 last TERMINAL* value allocated to hold the corresponding data and
1418 freeing that if the tgetent() result buffer is the same as the
1419 previous call (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
1420 + modify tack to test extended capability function-key strings.
1421 + improved gnome terminfo entry (GenToo #122566).
1422 + improved xterm-256color terminfo entry (patch by Alain Bench).
1425 + fix two small memory leaks related to repeated tgetent() calls
1426 with TERM=screen (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
1427 + add --enable-signed-char to simplify Debian package.
1428 + reduce name-pollution in term.h by removing #define's for HAVE_xxx
1430 + correct typo in curs_terminfo.3x (Debian #369168).
1433 + enable the mouse in test/movewindow.c
1434 + improve a limit-check in frm_def.c (John Heasley).
1435 + minor copyright fixes.
1436 + change configure script to produce test/Makefile from data file.
1439 + add a configure option --enable-wgetch-events to enable
1440 NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS, and correct the associated loop-logic in
1441 lib_twait.c (report by Bernd Jendrissek).
1442 + remove include/nomacros.h from build, since the ifdef for
1443 NCURSES_NOMACROS makes that obsolete.
1444 + add entrypoints for some functions which were only provided as macros
1445 to make NCURSES_NOMACROS ifdef work properly: getcurx(), getcury(),
1446 getbegx(), getbegy(), getmaxx(), getmaxy(), getparx() and getpary(),
1448 + provide ifdef for NCURSES_NOMACROS which suppresses most macro
1449 definitions from curses.h, i.e., where a macro is defined to override
1450 a function to improve performance. Allowing a developer to suppress
1451 these definitions can simplify some application (discussion with
1453 + improve description of memu/meml in terminfo manpage.
1456 + if msgr is false, reset video attributes when doing an automargin
1457 wrap to the next line. This makes the ncurses 'k' test work properly
1459 + correct caching of keyname(), which was using only half of its table.
1460 + minor fixes to memory-leak checking.
1461 + make SCREEN._acs_map and SCREEN._screen_acs_map pointers rather than
1462 arrays, making ACS_LEN less visible to applications (suggested by
1464 + move chunk in SCREEN ifdef'd for USE_WIDEC_SUPPORT to the end, so
1465 _screen_acs_map will have the same offset in both ncurses/ncursesw,
1466 making the corresponding tinfo/tinfow libraries binary-compatible
1467 (cf: 20041016, report by Stanislav Ievlev).
1470 + improve debug-tracing for EmitRange().
1471 + change default for --with-develop to "yes". Add NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS
1472 and NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE environment variables to allow runtime
1473 suppression of the related hard-tabs and xmc-glitch features.
1474 + add ncurses version number to top-level manpages, e.g., ncurses, tic,
1475 infocmp, terminfo as well as form, menu, panel.
1476 + update config.guess, config.sub
1477 + modify ncurses.c to work around a bug in NetBSD 3.0 curses
1478 (field_buffer returning null for a valid field). The 'r' test
1479 appears to not work with that configuration since the new_fieldtype()
1480 function is broken in that implementation.
1483 + add hpterm-color terminfo entry -TD
1484 + fixes to compile test-programs with HPUX 11.23
1487 + add copyright notices to files other than those that are generated,
1488 data or adapted from pdcurses (reports by William McBrine, David
1490 + improve rendering on hpterm by not resetting attributes at the end
1491 of doupdate() if the terminal has the magic-cookie feature (report
1493 + add 256color variants of terminfo entries for programs which are
1494 reported to implement this feature -TD
1497 + fix typo in change to NewChar() macro from 20060311 changes, which
1498 broke tab-expansion (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
1501 + document -U option of tic and infocmp.
1502 + modify tic/infocmp to suppress smacs/rmacs when acsc is suppressed
1503 due to size limit, e.g., converting to termcap format. Also
1504 suppress them if the output format does not contain acsc and it
1505 was not VT100-like, i.e., a one-one mapping (Novell #163715).
1506 + add configure check to ensure that SIGWINCH is defined on platforms
1507 such as OS X which exclude that when _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., are
1508 defined (report by Nicholas Cole)
1511 + modify write_object() to not write coincidental extensions of an
1512 entry made due to it being referenced in a use= clause (report by
1514 + another fix for infocmp -i option, which did not ensure that some
1515 escape sequences had comparable prefixes (report by Alain Bench).
1518 + improve discussion of init/reset in terminfo and tput manpages
1519 (report by Alain Bench).
1520 + use is3 string for a fallback of rs3 in the reset program; it was
1521 using is2 (report by Alain Bench).
1522 + correct logic for infocmp -i option, which did not account for
1523 multiple digits in a parameter (cf: 20040828) (report by Alain
1525 + move _nc_handle_sigwinch() to lib_setup.c to make --with-termlib
1526 option work after 20060114 changes (report by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz).
1527 + add copyright notices to test-programs as needed (report by William
1531 + modify ncurses.c 'F' test to combine the wide-characters with color
1532 and/or video attributes.
1533 + modify test/ncurses to use CTL/Q or ESC consistently for exiting
1534 a test-screen (some commands used 'x' or 'q').
1537 + fix an off-by-one in the scrolling-region change (cf_ 20060311).
1540 + add checks in waddchnstr() and wadd_wchnstr() to stop copying when
1541 a null character is found (report by Igor Bogomazov).
1542 + modify progs/Makefile.in to make "tput init" work properly with
1543 cygwin, i.e., do not pass a ".exe" in the reference string used
1544 in check_aliases (report by Samuel Thibault).
1545 + add some checks to ensure current position is within scrolling
1546 region before scrolling on a new line (report by Dan Gookin).
1547 + change some NewChar() usage to static variables to work around
1548 stack garbage introduced when cchar_t is not packed (Redhat #182024).
1551 + workarounds to build test/movewindow with PDcurses 2.7.
1552 + fix for nsterm-16color entry (patch by Alain Bench).
1553 + correct a typo in infocmp manpage (Debian #354281).
1556 + add nsterm-16color entry -TD
1557 + updated mlterm terminfo entry -TD
1558 + remove 970913 feature for copying subwindows as they are moved in
1559 mvwin() (discussion with Bryan Christ).
1560 + modify test/demo_menus.c to demonstrate moving a menu (both the
1561 window and subwindow) using shifted cursor-keys.
1562 + start implementing recursive mvwin() in movewindow.c (incomplete).
1563 + add a fallback definition for GCC_PRINTFLIKE() in test.priv.h,
1564 for movewindow.c (report by William McBrine).
1565 + add help-message to test/movewindow.c
1568 + add test/movewindow.c, to test mvderwin().
1569 + fix ncurses soft-key test so color changes are shown immediately
1570 rather than delayed.
1571 + modify ncurses soft-key test to hide the keys when exiting the test
1573 + fixes to build test programs with PDCurses 2.7, e.g., its headers
1574 rely on autoconf symbols, and it declares stubs for nonfunctional
1575 terminfo and termcap entrypoints.
1578 + improved test/configure to build test/ncurses on HPUX 11 using the
1580 + documented ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS in the ncurses manpage, for the
1581 benefit of developers who do not read INSTALL.
1584 + correct form library Window_To_Buffer() change (cf: 20040516), which
1585 should ignore the video attributes (report by Ricardo Cantu).
1588 + minor fixes to xmc-glitch experimental code:
1589 + suppress line-drawing
1590 + implement max_attributes
1592 + minor fixes for the database iterator.
1593 + fix some buffer limits in c++ demo (comment by Falk Hueffner in
1597 + add toe -a option, to show all databases. This uses new private
1598 interfaces in the ncurses library for iterating through the list of
1600 + fix toe from 20000909 changes which made it not look at
1602 + make toe's -v option parameter optional as per manpage.
1603 + improve SIGWINCH handling by postponing its effect during newterm(),
1604 etc., when allocating screens.
1607 + modify wgetnstr() to return KEY_RESIZE if a sigwinch occurs. Use
1608 this in test/filter.c
1609 + fix an error in filter() modification which caused some applications
1613 + check if filter() was called when getting the screensize. Keep it
1614 at 1 if so (based on Redhat #174498).
1615 + add extension nofilter().
1616 + refined the workaround for ACS mapping.
1617 + make ifdef's consistent in curses.h for the extended colors so the
1618 header file can be used for the normal curses library. The header
1619 file installed for extended colors is a variation of the
1620 wide-character configuration (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
1623 + add a workaround to ACS mapping to allow applications such as
1624 test/blue.c to use the "PC ROM" characters by masking them with
1625 A_ALTCHARSET. This worked up til 5.5, but was lost in the revision
1626 of legacy coding (report by Michael Deutschmann).
1627 + add a null-pointer check in the wide-character version of
1628 calculate_actual_width() (report by Victor Julien).
1629 + improve test/ncurses 'd' (color-edit) test by allowing the RGB
1630 values to be set independently (patch by William McBrine).
1631 + modify test/configure script to allow building test programs with
1633 + modified test programs to allow some to work with NetBSD curses.
1634 Several do not because NetBSD curses implements a subset of X/Open
1635 curses, and also lacks much of SVr4 additions. But it's enough for
1637 + update config.guess and config.sub
1640 + use BSD-specific fix for return-value from cgetent() from CVS where
1641 an unknown terminal type would be reportd as "database not found".
1642 + make tgetent() return code more readable using new symbols
1644 + remove references to non-existent "tctest" program.
1645 + remove TESTPROGS from progs/Makefile.in (it was referring to code
1646 that was never built in that directory).
1647 + typos in curs_addchstr.3x, some doc files (noticed in OpenBSD CVS).
1650 + add use_legacy_coding() function to support lynx's font-switching
1652 + fix formatting in curs_termcap.3x (report by Mike Frysinger).
1653 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to change preprocessor-expanded _Bool back to
1657 + extend test/ncurses.c 's' (overlay window) test to exercise overlay(),
1658 overwrite() and copywin() with different combinations of colors and
1659 attributes (including background color) to make it easy to see the
1660 effect of the different functions.
1661 + corrections to menu/m_global.c for wide-characters (report by
1665 + add configure option --without-dlsym, allowing developers to
1666 configure GPM support without using dlsym() (discussion with Michael
1668 + fix wins_nwstr(), which did not handle single-column non-8bit codes
1672 + move prototypes for wide-character trace functions from curses.tail
1673 to curses.wide to avoid accidental reference to those if
1674 _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined without ensuring that <wchar.h> is
1676 + add/use NCURSES_INLINE definition.
1677 + change some internal functions to use int/unsigned rather than the
1681 + remove a redundant check in lib_color.c (Debian #335655).
1682 + use ld's -search_paths_first option on Darwin to work around odd
1683 search rules on that platform (report by Christian Gennerat, analysis
1685 + remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro.
1686 + ignore EINTR in tcgetattr/tcsetattr calls (Debian #339518).
1687 + fix several bugs in test/bs.c (patch by Stephen Lindholm).
1690 + other minor fixes to cygwin based on tack -TD
1691 + correct smacs in cygwin (Debian #338234, report by Baurzhan
1692 Ismagulov, who noted that it was fixed in Cygwin).
1695 + add shifted up/down arrow codes to xterm-new as kind/kri strings -TD
1696 + modify wbkgrnd() to avoid clearing the A_CHARTEXT attribute bits
1697 since those record the state of multicolumn characters (Debian
1699 + modify werase to clear multicolumn characters that extend into
1700 a derived window (Debian #316663).
1703 + move assignment from environment variable ESCDELAY from initscr()
1704 down to newterm() so the environment variable affects timeouts for
1705 terminals opened with newterm() as well.
1706 + fix a memory leak in keyname().
1707 + add test/demo_altkeys.c
1708 + modify test/demo_defkey.c to exit from loop via 'q' to allow
1709 leak-checking, as well as fix a buffer size in winnstr() call.
1712 + correct order of use-clauses in rxvt-basic entry which made codes for
1713 f1-f4 vt100-style rather than vt220-style (report by Gabor Z Papp).
1714 + suppress configure check for gnatmake if Ada95/Makefile.in is not
1716 + correct a typo in configure --with-bool option for the case where
1717 --without-cxx is used (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
1718 + add a note to INSTALL's discussion of --with-normal, pointing out
1719 that one may wish to use --without-gpm to ensure a completely
1720 static link (prompted by report by Felix von Leitner).
1722 20051010 5.5 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
1725 + document in demo_forms.c some portability issues.
1728 + document side-effect of werase() which sets the cursor position.
1729 + save/restore the current position in form field editing to make
1733 + correct header dependencies in progs, allowing parallel make (report
1734 by Daniel Jacobowitz).
1735 + modify CF_BUILD_CC to ensure that pre-setting $BUILD_CC overrides
1736 the configure check for --with-build-cc (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
1737 + modify CF_CFG_DEFAULTS to not use /usr as the default prefix for
1739 + update config.guess and config.sub from
1740 http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
1743 + modify sed expression which computes path for /usr/lib/terminfo
1744 symbolic link in install to ensure that it does not change unexpected
1745 levels of the path (Gentoo #42336).
1746 + modify default for --disable-lp64 configure option to reduce impact
1747 on existing 64-bit builds. Enabling the _LP64 option may change the
1748 size of chtype and mmask_t. However, for ABI 6, it is enabled by
1749 default (report by Mike Frysinger).
1750 + add configure script check for --enable-ext-mouse, bump ABI to 6 by
1751 default if it is used.
1752 + improve configure script logic for bumping ABI to omit this if the
1753 --with-abi-version option was used.
1754 + update address for Free Software Foundation in tack's source.
1755 + correct wins_wch(), which was not marking the filler-cells of
1756 multi-column characters (cf: 20041023).
1759 + modify mouse initialization to ensure that Gpm_Open() is called only
1760 once. Otherwise GPM gets confused in its initialization of signal
1761 handlers (Debian #326709).
1764 + modify logic for backspacing in a multiline form field to ensure that
1765 it works even when the preceding line is full (report by Frank van
1767 + remove comment about BUGS section of ncurses manpage (Debian #325481)
1770 + document some workarounds for shared and libtool library
1771 configurations in INSTALL (see --with-shared and --with-libtool).
1772 + modify CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GXX_VERSION macros to accommodate
1773 cross-compilers which emit the platform name in their version
1775 arm-sa1100-linux-gnu-g++ (GCC) 4.0.1
1776 (report by Frank van Vugt).
1779 + start updating documentation for upcoming 5.5 release.
1780 + fix to make libtool and libtinfo work together again (cf: 20050122).
1781 + fixes to allow building traces into libtinfo
1782 + add debug trace to tic that shows if/how ncurses will write to the
1783 lower corner of a terminal's screen.
1784 + update llib-l* files.
1787 + modify initializers in c++ binding to build with old versions of g++.
1788 + improve special case for 20050115 repainting fix, ensuring that if
1789 the first changed cell is not a character that the range to be
1790 repainted is adjusted to start at a character's beginning (Debian
1794 + fixes to build on QNX 6.1
1795 + improve configure script checks for Intel 9.0 compiler.
1796 + remove #include's for libc.h (obsolete).
1797 + adjust ifdef's in curses.priv.h so that when cross-compiling to
1798 produce comp_hash and make_keys, no dependency on wchar.h is needed.
1799 That simplifies the build-cppflags (report by Frank van Vugt).
1800 + move modules related to key-binding into libtinfo to fix linkage
1801 problem caused by 20050430 changes to MKkeyname.sh (report by
1802 Konstantin Andreev).
1805 + updates/fixes for configure script macros from vile -TD
1806 + make prism9's sgr string agree with the rest of the terminfo -TD
1807 + make vt220's sgr0 string consistent with sgr string, do this for
1808 several related cases -TD
1809 + improve translation to termcap by filtering the 'me' (sgr0) strings
1810 as in the runtime call to tgetent() (prompted by a discussion with
1812 + improve tic check for sgr0 versus sgr(0), to help ensure that sgr0
1813 resets line-drawing.
1816 + fix special cases for trimming sgr0 for hurd and vt220 (Debian
1818 + split-out _nc_trim_sgr0() from modifications made to tgetent(), to
1819 allow it to be used by tic to provide information about the runtime
1820 changes that would be made to sgr0 for termcap applications.
1821 + modify make_sed.sh to make the group-name in the NAME section of
1822 form/menu library manpage agree with the TITLE string when renaming
1823 is done for Debian (Debian #78866).
1826 + modify parameter type in c++ binding for insch() and mvwinsch() to
1827 be consistent with underlying ncurses library (was char, is chtype).
1828 + modify treatment of Intel compiler to allow _GNU_SOURCE to be defined
1830 + improve configure check for nanosleep(), checking that it works since
1831 some older systems such as AIX 4.3 have a nonworking version.
1834 + update config.guess and config.sub from
1835 http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
1836 + modify misc/shlib to work in test-directory.
1837 + suppress $suffix in misc/run_tic.sh when cross-compiling. This
1838 allows cross-compiles to use the host's tic program to handle the
1839 "make install.data" step.
1840 + improve description of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables in manpages
1841 (prompted by report by Dave Ulrick).
1842 + improve description of cross-compiling in INSTALL
1843 + add NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html by Pradeep Padala
1844 (see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/).
1845 + modify configure script to obtain soname for GPM library (discussion
1846 with Daniel Jacobowitz).
1847 + modify configure script so that --with-chtype option will still
1848 compute the unsigned literals suffix for constants in curses.h
1849 (report by Daniel Jacobowitz:
1850 + patches from Daniel Jacobowitz:
1851 + the man_db.renames entry for tack.1 was backwards.
1852 + tack.1 had some 1m's that should have been 1M's.
1853 + the section for curs_inwstr.3 was wrong.
1856 + correction to --with-chtype option (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
1859 + move build-time edit_man.sh and edit_man.sed scripts to top directory
1860 to simplify reusing them for renaming tack's manpage (prompted by a
1861 review of Debian package).
1862 + revert minor optimization from 20041030 (Debian #313609).
1863 + libtool-specific fixes, tested with libtool 1.4.3, 1.5.0, 1.5.6,
1864 1.5.10 and 1.5.18 (all work except as noted previously for the c++
1865 install using libtool 1.5.0):
1866 + modify the clean-rule in c++/Makefile.in to work with IRIX64 make
1868 + use $(LIBTOOL_UNINSTALL) symbol, overlooked in 20030830
1869 + add configure options --with-chtype and --with-mmask-t, to allow
1870 overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of the corresponding types.
1871 + revise test for size of chtype (and mmask_t), which always returned
1872 "long" due to an uninitialized variable (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
1875 + change _tracef's that used "%p" format for va_list values to ignore
1876 that, since on some platforms those are not pointers.
1877 + fixes for long-formats in printf's due to largefile support.
1880 + fixes for termcap support:
1881 + reset pointer to _nc_curr_token.tk_name when the input stream is
1882 closed, which could point to free memory (cf: 20030215).
1883 + delink TERMTYPE data which is used by the termcap reader, so that
1884 extended names data will be freed consistently.
1885 + free pointer to TERMTYPE data in _nc_free_termtype() rather than
1887 + add some entrypoints for freeing permanently allocated data via
1888 _nc_freeall() when NO_LEAKS is defined.
1889 + amend 20041030 change to _nc_do_color to ensure that optimization is
1890 applied only when the terminal supports back_color_erase (bce).
1893 + add sun-color terminfo entry -TD
1894 + correct a missing assignment in c++ binding's method
1895 NCursesPanel::UserPointer() from 20050409 changes.
1896 + improve configure check for large-files, adding check for dirent64
1898 + minor change to configure script to improve linker options for the
1902 + document error conditions for ncurses library functions (report by
1904 + regenerated html documentation for ada binding.
1905 see ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/gnathtml
1908 + regenerated html documentation for manpages.
1909 + add $(BUILD_EXEEXT) suffix to invocation of make_keys in
1910 ncurses/Makefile (Gentoo #89772).
1911 + modify c++/demo.cc to build with g++ -fno-implicit-templates option
1912 (patch by Mike Frysinger).
1913 + modify tic to filter out long extended names when translating to
1914 termcap format. Only two characters are permissible for termcap
1918 + modify terminfo entries xterm-new and rxvt to add strings for
1919 shift-, control-cursor keys.
1920 + workaround to allow c++ binding to compile with g++ 2.95.3, which
1921 has a broken implementation of static_cast<> (patch by Jeff Chua).
1922 + modify initialization of key lookup table so that if an extended
1923 capability (tic -x) string is defined, and its name begins with 'k',
1924 it will automatically be treated as a key.
1925 + modify test/keynames.c to allow for the possibility of extended
1926 key names, e.g., via define_key(), or via "tic -x".
1927 + add test/demo_termcap.c to show the contents of given entry via the
1931 + minor fixes for vt100/vt52 entries -TD
1932 + add configure option --enable-largefile
1933 + corrected libraries used to build Ada95/gen/gen, found in testing
1937 + update config.guess, config.sub
1938 + modify configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, disable that on
1939 Darwin whose header files have problems (patch by Chris Zubrzycki).
1940 + modify form library Is_Printable_String() to use iswprint() rather
1941 than wcwidth() for determining if a character is printable. The
1942 latter caused it to reject menu items containing non-spacing
1944 + modify ncurses test program's F-test to handle non-spacing characters
1945 by combining them with a reverse-video blank.
1946 + review/fix several gcc -Wconversion warnings.
1949 + correct an off-by-one error in m_driver() for mouse-clicks used to
1950 position the mouse to a particular item.
1951 + implement test/demo_menus.c
1952 + add some checks in lib_mouse to ensure SP is set.
1953 + modify C++ binding to make 20050403 changes work with the configure
1954 --enable-const option.
1957 + modify start_color() to return ERR if it cannot allocate memory.
1958 + address g++ compiler warnings in C++ binding by adding explicit
1959 member initialization, assignment operators and copy constructors.
1960 Most of the changes simply preserve the existing semantics of the
1961 binding, which can leak memory, etc., but by making these features
1962 visible, it provides a framework for improving the binding.
1963 + improve C++ binding using static_cast, etc.
1964 + modify configure script --enable-warnings to add options to g++ to
1965 correspond to the gcc --enable-warnings.
1966 + modify C++ binding to use some C internal functions to make it
1967 compile properly on Solaris (and other platforms).
1970 + amend change from 20050320 to limit it to configurations with a
1972 + fix a bug introduced in 20050320 which broke the translation of
1973 nonprinting characters to uparrow form (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
1976 + add ifdef's for _LP64 in curses.h to avoid using wasteful 64-bits for
1977 chtype and mmask_t, but add configure option --disable-lp64 in case
1978 anyone used that configuration.
1979 + update misc/shlib script to account for Mac OS X (report by Michail
1981 + correct comparison for wrapping multibyte characters in
1982 waddch_literal() (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
1985 + add -c and -w options to tset to allow user to suppress ncurses'
1986 resizing of the terminal emulator window in the special case where it
1987 is not able to detect the true size (report by Win Delvaux, Debian
1989 + modify waddch_nosync() to account for locale zn_CH.GBK, which uses
1990 codes 128-159 as part of multibyte characters (report by Wang
1991 WenRui, Debian #300512).
1994 + modify ncurses.c 'd' test to make it work with 88-color
1995 configuration, i.e., by implementing scrolling.
1996 + improve scrolling in ncurses.c 'c' and 'C' tests, e.g., for 88-color
2000 + change tracemunch to use strict checking.
2001 + modify ncurses.c 'p' test to test line-drawing within a pad.
2002 + implement environment variable NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS to support
2003 miscellaneous terminal emulators which ignore alternate character
2004 set escape sequences when in UTF-8 mode.
2007 + change NCursesWindow::err_handler() to a virtual function (request by
2009 + modify fty_int.c and fty_num.c to handle wide characters (report by
2011 + adapt fix for fty_alpha.c to fty_alnum.c, which also handled normal
2012 and wide characters inconsistently (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
2013 + update llib-* files to reflect internal interface additions/changes.
2016 + improve test/configure script, adding tests for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc.,
2018 + add aixterm-16color terminfo entry -TD
2019 + modified xterm-new terminfo entry to work with tgetent() changes -TD
2020 + extended changes in tgetent() from 20040710 to allow the substring of
2021 sgr0 which matches rmacs to be at the beginning of the sgr0 string
2022 (request by Thomas Wolff). Wolff says the visual effect in
2023 combination with pre-20040710 ncurses is improved.
2024 + fix off-by-one in winnstr() call which caused form field validation
2025 of multibyte characters to ignore the last character in a field.
2026 + correct logic in winsch() for inserting multibyte strings; the code
2027 would clear cells after the insertion rather than push them to the
2028 right (cf: 20040228).
2029 + fix an inconsistency in Check_Alpha_Field() between normal and wide
2030 character logic (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
2033 + fix a bug in editing wide-characters in form library: deleting a
2034 nonwide character modified the previous wide-character.
2035 + update manpage to describe NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2.
2036 + correct manpage description of mouseinterval() (Debian #280687).
2037 + add a note to default_colors.3x explaining why this extension was
2038 added (Debian #295083).
2039 + add traces to panel library.
2042 + improve editing of wide-characters in form library: left/right
2043 cursor movement, and single-character deletions work properly.
2044 + disable GPM mouse support when $TERM happens to be prefixed with
2045 "xterm". Gpm_Open() would otherwise assert that it can deal with
2046 mouse events in this case.
2047 + modify GPM mouse support so it closes the server connection when
2048 the caller disables the mouse (report by Stanislav Ievlev).
2051 + add traces for callback functions in form library.
2052 + add experimental configure option --enable-ext-mouse, which defines
2053 NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies the encoding of mouse events to
2054 support wheel mice, which may transmit buttons 4 and 5. This works
2055 with xterm and similar X terminal emulators (prompted by question by
2056 Andreas Henningsson, this is also related to Debian #230990).
2057 + improve configure macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE to
2058 avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin.
2061 + merge remaining development changes for extended colors (mostly
2062 complete, does not appear to break other configurations).
2063 + add xterm-88color.dat (part of extended colors testing).
2064 + improve _tracedump() handling of color pairs past 96.
2065 + modify return-value from start_color() to return OK if colors have
2066 already been started.
2067 + modify curs_color.3x list error conditions for init_pair(),
2068 pair_content() and color_content().
2069 + modify pair_content() to return -1 for consistency with init_pair()
2070 if it corresponds to the default-color.
2071 + change internal representation of default-color to allow application
2072 to use color number 255. This does not affect the total number of
2073 color pairs which are allowed.
2074 + add a top-level tags rule.
2077 + add a null-pointer check in wgetch() in case it is called without
2078 first calling initscr().
2079 + add some null-pointer checks for SP, which is not set by libtinfo.
2080 + modify misc/shlib to ensure that absolute pathnames are used.
2081 + modify test/Makefile.in, etc., to link test programs only against the
2082 libraries needed, e.g., omit form/menu/panel library for the ones
2083 that are curses-specific.
2084 + change SP->_current_attr to a pointer, adjust ifdef's to ensure that
2085 libtinfo.so and libtinfow.so have the same ABI. The reason for this
2086 is that the corresponding data which belongs to the upper-level
2087 ncurses library has a different size in each model (report by
2091 + minor fixes to allow test-compiles with g++.
2092 + correct column value shown in tic's warnings, which did not account
2093 for leading whitespace.
2094 + add a check in _nc_trans_string() for improperly ended strings, i.e.,
2095 where a following line begins in column 1.
2096 + modify _nc_save_str() to return a null pointer on buffer overflow.
2097 + improve repainting while scrolling wide-character data (Eungkyu Song).
2100 + merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
2103 + merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
2104 + fix manpage typo (FreeBSD report docs/75544).
2105 + update config.guess, config.sub
2106 > patches for configure script (Albert Chin-A-Young):
2107 + improved fix to make mbstate_t recognized on HPUX 11i (cf:
2108 20030705), making vsscanf() prototype visible on IRIX64. Tested for
2109 on HP-UX 11i, Solaris 7, 8, 9, AIX 4.3.3, 5.2, Tru64 UNIX 4.0D, 5.1,
2110 IRIX64 6.5, Redhat Linux 7.1, 9, and RHEL 2.1, 3.0.
2111 + print the result of the --disable-home-terminfo option.
2112 + use -rpath when compiling with SGI C compiler.
2115 + add trace calls to remaining public functions in form and menu
2117 + fix check for numeric digits in test/ncurses.c 'b' and 'B' tests.
2118 + fix typo in test/ncurses.c 'c' test from 20041218.
2121 + revise test/ncurses.c 'c' color test to improve use for xterm-88color
2122 and xterm-256color, added 'C' test using the wide-character color_set
2123 and attr_set functions.
2126 + modify configure script to work with Intel compiler.
2127 + fix an limit-check in wadd_wchnstr() which caused labels in the
2128 forms-demo to be one character short.
2129 + fix typo in curs_addchstr.3x (Jared Yanovich).
2130 + add trace calls to most functions in form and menu libraries.
2131 + update working-position for adding wide-characters when window is
2132 scrolled (prompted by related report by Eungkyu Song).
2135 + replace some references on Linux to wcrtomb() which use it to obtain
2136 the length of a multibyte string with _nc_wcrtomb, since wcrtomb() is
2137 broken in glibc (see Debian #284260).
2138 + corrected length-computation in wide-character support for
2140 + some fixes to frm_driver.c to allow it to accept multibyte input.
2141 + modify configure script to work with Intel 8.0 compiler.
2144 + amend change to setupterm() in 20030405 which would reuse the value
2145 of cur_term if the same output was selected. This now reuses it only
2146 when setupterm() is called from tgetent(), which has no notion of
2147 separate SCREENs. Note that tgetent() must be called after initscr()
2148 or newterm() to use this feature (Redhat Bugzilla #140326).
2149 + add a check in CF_BUILD_CC macro to ensure that developer has given
2150 the --with-build-cc option when cross-compiling (report by Alexandre
2152 + improved configure script checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE and
2153 _POSIX_C_SOURCE (fix for IRIX 5.3 from Georg Schwarz, _POSIX_C_SOURCE
2155 + cosmetic fix to test/gdc.c to recolor the bottom edge of the box
2156 for consistency (comment by Dan Nelson).
2159 + update wsvt25 terminfo entry -TD
2160 + modify test/ins_wide.c to test all flavors of ins_wstr().
2161 + ignore filler-cells in wadd_wchnstr() when adding a cchar_t array
2162 which consists of multi-column characters, since this function
2163 constructs them (cf: 20041023).
2164 + modify winnstr() to return multibyte character strings for the
2165 wide-character configuration.
2168 + fixes to make slk_set() and slk_wset() accept and store multibyte
2169 or multicolumn characters.
2172 + improve color optimization a little by making _nc_do_color() check
2173 if the old/new pairs are equivalent to the default pair 0.
2174 + modify assume_default_colors() to not require that
2175 use_default_colors() be called first.
2178 + modify term_attrs() to use termattrs(), add the extended attributes
2179 such as enter_horizontal_hl_mode for WA_HORIZONTAL to term_attrs().
2180 + add logic in waddch_literal() to clear orphaned cells when one
2181 multi-column character partly overwrites another.
2182 + improved logic for clearing cells when a multi-column character
2183 must be wrapped to a new line.
2184 + revise storage of cells for multi-column characters to correct a
2185 problem with repainting. In the old scheme, it was possible for
2186 doupdate() to decide that only part of a multi-column character
2187 should be repainted since the filler cells stored only an attribute
2188 to denote them as fillers, rather than the character value and the
2192 + minor fixes for traces.
2193 + add SP->_screen_acs_map[], used to ensure that mapping of missing
2194 line-drawing characters is handled properly. For example, ACS_DARROW
2195 is absent from xterm-new, and it was coincidentally displayed the
2199 + amend 20021221 workaround for broken acs to reset the sgr, rmacs
2200 and smacs strings as well. Also modify the check for screen's
2201 limitations in that area to allow the multi-character shift-in
2202 and shift-out which seem to work.
2203 + change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it dynamically
2204 at runtime (Debian #110586).
2207 + correct logic for color pair in setcchar() and getcchar() (patch by
2208 Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
2209 + add t/T commands to ncurses b/B tests to allow a different color to
2210 be tested for the attrset part of the test than is used in the
2214 + fix to make setcchar() to work when its wchar_t* parameter is
2215 pointing to a string which contains more data than can be converted.
2216 + modify wget_wstr() and example in ncurses.c to work if wchar_t and
2217 wint_t are different sizes (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
2220 + remove check in wget_wch() added to fix an infinite loop, appears to
2221 have been working around a transitory glibc bug, and interferes
2222 with normal operation (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
2223 + correct wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not pass the rendition
2224 information (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
2225 + fix aclocal.m4 so that the wide-character version of ncurses gets
2226 compiled as libncursesw.5.dylib, instead of libncurses.5w.dylib
2227 (adapted from patch by James J Ramsey).
2228 + change configure script for --with-caps option to indicate that it
2229 is no longer experimental.
2230 + change configure script to reflect the fact that --enable-widec has
2231 not been "experimental" since 5.3 (report by Bruno Lustosa).
2234 + add 'B' test to ncurses.c, to exercise some wide-character functions.
2237 + modify infocmp -i option to match 8-bit controls against its table
2238 entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry.
2239 + add morphos terminfo entry, improve amiga-8bit entry (Pavel Fedin).
2240 + correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap, e.g.,
2241 using "tic -C" (Redhat Bugzilla #130921).
2242 + modified configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to ensure that if
2243 it defines _POSIX_C_SOURCE, that it defines it to a specific value
2244 (comp.os.stratus newsgroup comment).
2247 + fixes to build with Ada95 binding with gnat 3.4 (all warnings are
2248 fatal, and gnat does not follow the guidelines for pragmas).
2249 However that did find a coding error in Assume_Default_Colors().
2250 + modify several terminfo entries to ensure xterm mouse and cursor
2251 visibility are reset in rs2 string: hurd, putty, gnome,
2252 konsole-base, mlterm, Eterm, screen (Debian #265784, #55637). The
2253 xterm entries are left alone - old ones for compatibility, and the
2254 new ones do not require this change. -TD
2257 + fake a SIGWINCH in newterm() to accommodate buggy terminal emulators
2258 and window managers (Debian #265631).
2259 > terminfo updates -TD
2260 + remove dch/dch1 from rxvt because they are implemented inconsistently
2261 with the common usage of bce/ech
2262 + remove khome from vt220 (vt220's have no home key)
2266 + modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test, adding v/V toggles to cycle through
2267 combinations of video attributes so that for instance bold and
2268 underline can be tested. This made the legend too crowded, added
2269 a help window as well.
2270 + modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test to cycle through default colors if
2271 the -d option is set.
2272 + update putty terminfo entry (Robert de Bath).
2275 + modify test/cardfile.c to allow it to read more data than can be
2277 + correct logic in resizeterm.c which kept it from processing all
2278 levels of window hierarchy (reports by Folkert van Heusden,
2282 + modify "tic -cv" to ignore delays when comparing strings. Also
2283 modify it to ignore a canceled sgr string, e.g., for terminals which
2284 cannot properly combine attributes in one control sequence.
2285 + corrections for gnome and konsole entries (Redhat Bugzilla #122815,
2286 patch by Hans de Goede)

2312 + improve tic's check to compare sgr and sgr0.
2313 + fix c++ directory's .cc.i rule.
2314 + modify logic in tgetent() which adjusts the termcap "me" string
2315 to work with ISO-2022 string used in xterm-new (cf: 20010908).
2316 + modify tic's check for conflicting function keys to omit that if
2317 converting termcap to termcap format.

2345 as documented in the manpage (report by Ian Collier).
2346 + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro to make Hurd port build
2347 (Debian #249214, report/patch by Jeff Bailey).
2348 + configure-script mods from xterm, e.g., updates to CF_ADD_CFLAGS

2352 + add xterm-xf86-v44

2354 relies on G1 being used via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (report by
2359 + reconsidered winsnstr(), decided after comparing other
2360 implementations that wrapping is an X/Open documentation error.
2361 + modify test/inserts.c to test all flavors of insstr().
2364 + add setlocale() calls to a few test programs which may require it:
2365 demo_forms.c, filter.c, ins_wide.c, inserts.c
2366 + correct a few misspelled function names in ncurses-intro.html (report
2368 + correct internal name of key_defined() manpage, which conflicted with
2372 + correct size of internal pad used for holding wide-character
2373 field_buffer() results.
2374 + modify data_ahead() to work with wide-characters.
2377 + improve description of terminfo if-then-else expressions (suggested
2379 + improve test/ncurses.c 'd' test, allow it to use external file for
2380 initial palette (added xterm-16color.dat and linux-color.dat), and
2381 reset colors to the initial palette when starting/ending the test.
2382 + change limit-check in init_color() to allow r/g/b component to
2383 reach 1000 (cf: 20020928).
2386 + modify form library to use cchar_t's rather than char's in the
2387 wide-character configuration for storing data for field buffers.
2388 + correct logic of win_wchnstr(), which did not work for more than
2392 + replace memset/memcpy usage in form library with for-loops to
2393 simplify changing the datatype of FIELD.buf, part of wide-character
2395 + fix some inconsistent use of #if/#ifdef (report by Alain Guibert).
2398 + modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by
2399 multibyte character strings, in the wide-character configuration
2400 (adapted from patch by Philipp Tomsich).
2401 + add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F"
2402 comparisons. This modifies infocmp to only report extended
2403 capabilities if the -x option is given, making this more consistent
2404 with tic. Some scripts may break, since infocmp previous gave this
2405 information without an option.
2406 + modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the beginning
2407 of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic.
2410 + minor compiler-warning and test-program fixes.
2413 + modify tic's missing-sgr warning to apply to terminfo only.
2414 + free some memory leaks in tic.
2415 + remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending
2416 beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner).
2417 + remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
2418 that extend beyond the screen. Solaris curses does this.
2419 + add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older
2421 + add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog.
2424 + modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond
2425 to an unsigned char.
2426 + add some limit-checks to guard isprint(), etc., from being used on
2427 values that do not fit into an unsigned char (report by Sami Farin).
2430 + fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change.
2433 + modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's
2434 current locale rather than using getenv(). This fixes a case in tin
2435 which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale
2436 is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen).
2437 + add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD.
2438 + add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr
2439 string. This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with
2440 color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places.
2441 + correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the
2442 original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before
2443 20030802 (Debian #237629).
2446 + modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of
2447 A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from
2448 being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the
2449 raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879).
2452 + fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report
2454 + remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses
2455 some apropos script (Debian #237831).
2458 + modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text,
2459 set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing
2460 mode is shown in that test.
2461 + change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake.
2462 + correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which
2463 did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419).
2466 + modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a
2468 + split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it. X/Open states
2469 that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other
2470 insert-functions. Currently it does not wrap.
2471 + check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by
2473 + split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first.
2474 + fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC,
2475 which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report
2476 by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev).
2479 + some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete
2480 (request by Mike Aubury).
2481 + add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of
2483 #define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0
2485 (discussion on XFree86 mailing list).
2488 + modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets
2489 the name of the terminfo library. This would allow a packager to
2490 build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion
2491 with Stanislav Ievlev).
2492 + improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and
2493 $(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew).
2494 + add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename
2495 its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to
2496 ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory
2497 (prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs).
2499 20040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
2502 20040207 pre-release
2503 + minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param,
2504 and do not count %d if it follows a %p.
2505 + correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255
2506 range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests. In POSIX
2507 locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former
2509 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac
2510 OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix
2511 verified by Scott Corscadden).
2513 20040131 pre-release
2514 + modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors
2515 to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo
2516 (patch by Stanislav Ievlev).
2517 + document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage.
2518 + document special features of unctrl() in manpage.
2519 + documented interface changes in INSTALL.
2520 + corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale
2521 (Debian #230335, cf: 971206).
2522 + updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
2523 + fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package.
2524 + minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5.
2526 20040125 pre-release
2527 + amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number
2528 of cells for a possibly multi-cell character. The 20030614 change
2529 forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not
2530 greater than zero. However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the
2531 range 128-255 can give this return value. The logic now simply
2532 ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without
2533 modifying the displayed value.
2535 20040124 pre-release
2536 + looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above)
2537 + modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since
2538 that works better for cross-compiling.
2540 20040117 pre-release
2541 + modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
2542 work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
2543 zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
2544 + add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
2545 to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
2546 + add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
2547 + add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
2549 + modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
2550 (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz (see Debian
2552 + correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
2553 exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss (see Debian #224443)).
2554 + modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
2555 + remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
2556 + make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
2557 + improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
2558 CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
2559 + add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
2560 simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
2561 + add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
2562 patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
2563 + fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
2565 + resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
2566 NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
2567 + make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
2568 will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
2569 + rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool. The
2570 intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
2571 compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
2572 does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).
2574 20040110 pre-release
2575 + change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4
2576 + revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W
2578 + simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the
2579 configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav
2581 + remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav
2583 + modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs
2584 such as tic are not linked with the upper-level ncurses library
2585 (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
2586 + move version.c from ncurses/base to ncurses/tinfo to allow linking
2587 of tic, etc., using libtinfo (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
2590 + adjust -D's to build ncursesw on OpenBSD.
2591 + modify CF_PROG_EXT to make OS/2 build with EXEEXT.
2592 + add pecho_wchar().
2593 + remove <wctype.h> include from lib_slk_wset.c which is not needed (or
2594 available) on older platforms.
2597 + add -D's to build ncursew on FreeBSD 5.1.
2598 + modify shared library configuration for FreeBSD 4.x/5.x to add the
2599 soname information (request by Marc Glisse).
2600 + modify _nc_read_tic_entry() to not use MAX_ALIAS, but PATH_MAX only
2601 for limiting the length of a filename in the terminfo database.
2602 + modify termname() to return the terminal name used by setupterm()
2603 rather than $TERM, without truncating to 14 characters as documented
2604 by X/Open (report by Stanislav Ievlev, cf: 970719).
2605 + re-add definition for _BSD_TYPES, lost in merge (cf: 20031206).
2608 + add configure option --with-manpage-format=catonly to address
2609 behavior of BSDI, allow install of man+cat files on NetBSD, whose
2610 behavior has diverged by requiring both to be present.
2611 + remove leading blanks from comment-lines in manlinks.sed script to
2612 work with Tru64 4.0d.
2613 + add screen.linux terminfo entry (discussion on mutt-users mailing
2617 + add a check for tic to flag missing backslashes for termcap
2618 continuation lines. ncurses reads the whole entry, but termcap
2619 applications do not.
2620 + add configure option "--with-manpage-aliases" extending
2621 "--with-manpage-aliases" to provide the option of generating ".so"
2622 files rather than symbolic links for manpage aliases.
2623 + add bool definition in include/curses.h.in for configurations with no
2624 usable C++ compiler (cf: 20030607).
2625 + fix pathname of SigAction.h for building with --srcdir (reported by
2629 + folded ncurses/base/sigaction.c into includes of ncurses/SigAction.h,
2630 since that header is used only within ncurses/tty/lib_tstp.c, for
2631 non-POSIX systems (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev).
2632 + remove obsolete _nc_outstr() function (report by Stanislav Ievlev
2633 <inger@altlinux.org>).
2634 + add test/background.c and test/color_set.c
2635 + modify color_set() function to work with color pair 0 (report by
2636 George Andreou <gbandreo@tem.uoc.gr>).
2637 + add configure option --with-trace, since defining TRACE seems too
2638 awkward for some cases.
2639 + remove a call to _nc_free_termtype() from read_termtype(), since the
2640 corresponding buffer contents were already zeroed by a memset (cf:
2642 + improve configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and related definitions,
2643 adding special cases for Solaris' __EXTENSIONS__ and FreeBSD's
2644 __BSD_TYPES (reports by Marc Glisse <marc.glisse@normalesup.org>).
2645 + small fixes to compile on Solaris and IRIX64 using cc.
2646 + correct typo in check for pre-POSIX sort options in MKkey_defs.sh
2650 + modify _nc_gettime() to avoid a problem with arithmetic on unsigned
2651 values (Philippe Blain).
2652 + improve the nanosleep() logic in napms() by checking for EINTR and
2653 restarting (Philippe Blain).
2654 + correct expression for "%D" in lib_tgoto.c (Juha Jarvi
2658 + add linux-vt terminfo entry (Andrey V Lukyanov <land@long.yar.ru>).
2659 + allow "\|" escape in terminfo; tic should not warn about this.
2660 + save the full pathname of the trace-file the first time it is opened,
2661 to avoid creating it in different directories if the application
2662 opens and closes it while changing its working directory.
2663 + modify configure script to provide a non-empty default for
2667 + add DJGPP to special case of DOS-style drive letters potentially
2668 appearing in TERMCAP environment variable.
2669 + fix some spelling in comments (reports by Jason McIntyre, Jonathon
2671 + update config.guess, config.sub
2674 + fix a memory leak in error-return from setupterm() (report by
2675 Stanislav Ievlev <inger@altlinux.org>).
2676 + use EXEEXT and OBJEXT consistently in makefiles.
2677 + amend fixes for cross-compiling to use separate executable-suffix
2678 BUILD_EXEEXT (cf: 20031018).
2679 + modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for sort utility that does not
2680 recognize key options, e.g., busybox (report by Peter S Mazinger
2682 + fix potential out-of-bounds indexing in _nc_infotocap() (found by
2683 David Krause using some of the new malloc debugging features
2684 under OpenBSD, patch by Ted Unangst).
2685 + modify CF_LIB_SUFFIX for Itanium releases of HP-UX, which use a
2686 ".so" suffix (patch by Jonathan Ward <Jonathan.Ward@hp.com>).
2689 + update terminfo for xterm-xfree86 -TD
2690 + add check for multiple "tc=" clauses in a termcap to tic.
2691 + check for missing op/oc in tic.
2692 + correct _nc_resolve_uses() and _nc_merge_entry() to allow infocmp and
2693 tic to show cancelled capabilities. These functions were ignoring
2694 the state of the target entry, which should be untouched if cancelled.
2695 + correct comment in tack/output.c (Debian #215806).
2696 + add some null-pointer checks to lib_options.c (report by Michael
2698 + regenerated html documentation.
2699 + correction to tar-copy.sh, remove a trap command that resulted in
2700 leaving temporary files (cf: 20030510).
2701 + remove contact/maintainer addresses for Juergen Pfeifer (his request).
2704 + updated test/configure to reflect changes for libtool (cf: 20030830).
2705 + fix several places in tack/pad.c which tested and used the parameter-
2706 and parameterless strings inconsistently, i.e., in pad_rin(),
2707 pad_il(), pad_indn() and pad_dl() (Debian #215805).
2708 + minor fixes for configure script and makefiles to cleanup executables
2709 generated when cross-compiling for DJGPP.
2710 + modify infocmp to omit check for $TERM for operations that do not
2711 require it, e.g., "infocmp -e" used to build fallback list (report by
2715 + add terminfo entries for DJGPP.
2716 + updated note about maintainer in ncurses-intro.html
2719 + update terminfo entries for gnome terminal.
2720 + modify tack to reset colors after each color test, correct a place
2721 where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode.
2722 + improve tack's bce test by making it set colors other than black
2724 + plug a potential recursion between napms() and _nc_timed_wait()
2725 (report by Philippe Blain).
2728 + add --with-rel-version option to allow workaround to allow making
2729 libtool on Darwin generate the "same" library names as with the
2730 --with-shared option. The Darwin ld program does not work well
2731 with a zero as the minor-version value (request by Chris Zubrzycki).
2732 + modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro to work with cross-compiling.
2733 + modify tack to allow it to run from fallback terminfo data.
2734 > patch by Philippe Blain:
2735 + improve PutRange() by adjusting call to EmitRange() and corresponding
2736 return-value to not emit unchanged characters on the end of the
2738 + improve a check for changed-attribute by exiting a loop when the
2740 + improve logic in TransformLine(), eliminating a duplicated comparison
2741 in the clr_bol logic.
2744 > patch by Philippe Blain:
2745 + in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
2746 move the label 'nonlocal' just before the second gettimeofday() to
2747 be able to compute the diff time when 'goto nonlocal' used.
2748 Rename 'msec' to 'microsec' in the debug-message.
2749 + in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
2750 Use _nc_outch() in carriage return/newline movement instead of
2751 putchar() which goes to stdout. Move test for xold>0 out of loop.
2752 + in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c,
2753 Set the flag SP->_buffered at the end of operations when all has been
2754 successful (typeMalloc can fail).
2755 + simplify NC_BUFFERED macro by moving check inside _nc_setbuf().
2758 + modify configure script to avoid using "head -1", which does not
2759 work if POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set.
2760 + modify run_tic.in to avoid using wrong shared libraries when
2761 cross-compiling (Dan Kegel).
2764 + alter configure script help message to make it clearer that
2765 --with-build-cc does not specify a cross-compiler (suggested by Dan
2766 Kegel <dank@kegel.com>).
2767 + modify configure script to accommodate libtool 1.5, as well as add an
2768 parameter to the "--with-libtool" option which can specify the
2769 pathname of libtool (report by Chris Zubrzycki). We note that
2770 libtool 1.5 has more than one bug in its C++ support, so it is not
2771 able to install libncurses++, for instance, if $DESTDIR or the option
2772 --with-install-prefix is used.
2775 > patch by Philippe Blain:
2776 + move assignments to SP->_cursrow, SP->_curscol into online_mvcur().
2777 + make baudrate computation in delay_output() consistent with the
2778 assumption in _nc_mvcur_init(), i.e., a byte is 9 bits.
2781 + modify logic in waddch_literal() to take into account zh_TW.Big5
2782 whose multibyte sequences may contain "printable" characters, e.g.,
2783 a "g" in the sequence "\247g" (Debian #204889, cf: 20030621).
2784 + improve storage used by _nc_safe_strcpy() by ensuring that the size
2785 is reset based on the initialization call, in case it were called
2786 after other strcpy/strcat calls (report by Philippe Blain).
2787 > patch by Philippe Blain:
2788 + remove an unused ifdef for REAL_ATTR & WANT_CHAR
2789 + correct a place where _cup_cost was used rather than _cuu_cost
2792 + fix a small memory leak in _nc_free_termtype().
2793 + close trace-file if trace() is called with a zero parameter.
2794 + free memory allocated for soft-key strings, in delscreen().
2795 + fix an allocation size in safe_sprintf.c for the "*" format code.
2796 + correct safe_sprintf.c to not return a null pointer if the format
2797 happens to be an empty string. This applies to the "configure
2798 --enable-safe-sprintf" option (Redhat #101486).
2801 + modify casts used for ABSENT_BOOLEAN and CANCELLED_BOOLEAN (report by
2803 > patch by Philippe Blain:
2804 + change padding for change_scroll_region to not be proportional to
2805 the size of the scroll-region.
2806 + correct error-return in _nc_safe_strcat().
2809 + correct limit-checks in _nc_scroll_window() (report and test-case by
2810 Thomas Graf <graf@dms.at> cf: 20011020).
2811 + re-order configure checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE to avoid conflict with
2815 + use clr_eol in preference to blanks for bce terminals, so select and
2816 paste will have fewer trailing blanks, e.g., when using xterm
2817 (request by Vincent Lefevre).
2818 + correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
2819 + add configure --with-abi-version option (discussion with Charles
2821 > cygwin changes from Charles Wilson:
2822 + aclocal.m4: on cygwin, use autodetected prefix for import
2823 and static lib, but use "cyg" for DLL.
2824 + include/ncurses_dll.h: correct the comments to reflect current
2825 status of cygwin/mingw port. Fix compiler warning.
2826 + misc/run_tic.in: ensure that tic.exe can find the uninstalled
2827 DLL, by adding the lib-directory to the PATH variable.
2828 + misc/terminfo.src (nxterm|xterm-color): make xterm-color
2829 primary instead of nxterm, to match XFree86's xterm.terminfo
2830 usage and to prevent circular links.
2831 (rxvt): add additional codes from rxvt.org.
2832 (rxvt-color): new alias
2833 (rxvt-xpm): new alias
2834 (rxvt-cygwin): like rxvt, but with special acsc codes.
2835 (rxvt-cygwin-native): ditto. rxvt may be run under XWindows, or
2836 with a "native" MSWin GUI. Each takes different acsc codes,
2837 which are both different from the "normal" rxvt's acsc.
2838 (cygwin): cygwin-in-cmd.exe window. Lots of fixes.
2840 + mk-1st.awk: use "cyg" for the DLL prefix, but "lib" for import
2844 + update config.guess, config.sub
2845 + add triples for configuring shared libraries with the Debian
2846 GNU/FreeBSD packages (patch by Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>).
2849 + modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS so it only applies to gcc, not g++. Some
2850 platforms have installed g++ along with the native C compiler, which
2851 would not accept gcc warning options.
2852 + add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 when configuring with --enable-widec, to
2853 get mbstate_t declaration on HPUX 11.11 (report by David Ellement).
2854 + add _nc_pathlast() to get rid of casts in _nc_basename() calls.
2855 + correct a sign-extension in wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() from
2856 20030628 (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
2857 + work around omission of btowc() and wctob() from wide-character
2858 support (sic) in NetBSD 1.6 using mbtowc() and wctomb() (report by
2860 + add portability note to curs_get_wstr.3x (Debian #199957).
2863 + rewrite wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to call waddch() and wechochar()
2864 respectively, to avoid calling waddch_noecho() with wide-character
2865 data, since that function assumes its input is 8-bit data.
2866 Similarly, modify waddnwstr() to call wadd_wch().
2867 + remove logic from waddnstr() which transformed multibyte character
2868 strings into wide-characters. Rewrite of waddch_literal() from
2869 20030621 assumes its input is raw multibyte data rather than wide
2870 characters (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
2873 + write getyx() and related 2-return macros in terms of getcury(),
2875 + modify waddch_literal() in case an application passes bytes of a
2876 multibyte character directly to waddch(). In this case, waddch()
2877 must reassemble the bytes into a wide-character (report by Tomohiro
2878 Kubota <kubota@debian.org>).
2881 + modify waddch_literal() in case a multibyte value occupies more than
2883 + modify PutAttrChar() to compute the number of character cells that
2884 are used in multibyte values. This fixes a problem displaying
2885 double-width characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen
2886 <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
2887 + add a null-pointer check for result of keyname() in _tracechar()
2888 + modify _tracechar() to work around glibc sprintf bug.
2891 + add a call to setlocale() in cursesmain.cc, making demo display
2892 properly in a UTF-8 locale.
2893 + add a fallback definition in curses.priv.h for MB_LEN_MAX (prompted
2894 by discussion with Gabor Z Papp).
2895 + use macros NCURSES_ACS() and NCURSES_WACS() to hide cast needed to
2896 appease -Wchar-subscript with g++ 3.3 (Debian #195732).
2897 + fix a redefinition of $RANLIB in the configure script when libtool
2898 is used, which broke configure on Mac OS X (report by Chris Zubrzycki
2900 + simplify ifdef for bool declaration in curses.h.in (suggested by
2901 Albert Chin-A-Young).
2902 + remove configure script check to allow -Wconversion for older
2903 versions of gcc (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young).
2906 + regenerated html manpages.
2907 + modify ifdef's in curses.h.in that disabled use of __attribute__()
2908 for g++, since recent versions implement the cases which ncurses uses
2910 + modify _nc_get_token() to handle a case where an entry has no
2911 description, and capabilities begin on the same line as the entry
2913 + fix a typo in ncurses_dll.h reported by gcc 3.3.
2914 + add an entry for key_defined.3x to man_db.renames.
2917 + modify setcchar() to allow converting control characters to complex
2918 characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
2919 + add tkterm entry -TD
2920 + modify parse_entry.c to allow a terminfo entry with a leading
2921 2-character name (report by Don Libes).
2922 + corrected acsc in screen.teraterm, which requires a PC-style mapping.
2923 + fix trace statements in read_entry.c to use lseek() rather than
2925 + fix signed/unsigned warnings from Sun's compiler (gcc should give
2926 these warnings, but it is unpredictable).
2927 + modify configure script to omit -Winline for gcc 3.3, since that
2929 + modify manlinks.sed to add a few functions that were overlooked since
2930 they return function pointers: field_init, field_term, form_init,
2931 form_term, item_init, item_term, menu_init and menu_term.
2934 + prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot
2935 be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report
2936 by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.com>).
2937 + change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted
2939 + add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there
2940 are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the
2941 current test programs.
2942 + corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not
2943 convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it.
2944 + corrections to lib_get_wstr.c:
2945 + null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally
2947 + map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into
2948 key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not
2949 mentioned in the terminfo.
2950 + modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line
2951 drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221).
2954 + make typography for program options in manpages consistent (report
2955 by Miloslav Trmac <mitr@volny.cz>).
2956 + correct dependencies in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, so the builds with
2957 "--srcdir" work (report by Warren L Dodge).
2958 + correct missing definition of $(CC) in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in
2959 (reported by Warren L Dodge <warrend@mdhost.cse.tek.com>).
2960 + fix typos and whitespace in manpages (patch by Jason McIntyre
2961 <jmc@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl>).
2964 + fix form_driver() cases for REQ_CLR_EOF, REQ_CLR_EOL, REQ_DEL_CHAR,
2965 REQ_DEL_PREV and REQ_NEW_LINE, which did not ensure the cursor was at
2966 the editing position before making modifications.
2967 + add test/demo_forms and associated test/edit_field.c demos.
2968 + modify test/configure.in to use test/modules for the list of objects
2969 to compile rather than using the list of programs.
2972 + modify logic of acsc to use the original character if no mapping is
2973 defined, noting that Solaris does this.
2974 + modify ncurses 'b' test to avoid using the acs_map[] array since
2975 20021231 changes it to no longer contain information from the acsc
2977 + modify makefile rules in c++, progs, tack and test to ensure that
2978 the compiler flags (e.g., $CFLAGS or $CCFLAGS) are used in the link
2979 command (report by Jose Luis Rico Botella <informatica@serpis.com>).
2980 + modify soft-key initialization to use A_REVERSE if A_STANDOUT would
2981 not be shown when colors are used, i.e., if ncv#1 is set in the
2982 terminfo as is done in "screen".
2985 + add a test for slk_color(), in ncurses.c
2986 + fix some issues reported by valgrind in the slk_set() and slk_wset()
2987 code, from recent rewrite.
2988 + modify ncurses 'E' test to use show previous label via slk_label(),
2990 + modify wide-character versions of NewChar(), NewChar2() macros to
2991 ensure that the whole struct is initialized.
2994 + modify setupterm() to check if the terminfo and terminal-modes have
2995 already been read. This ensures that it does not reinvoke
2996 def_prog_mode() when an application calls more than one function,
2997 such as tgetent() and initscr() (report by Olaf Buddenhagen).
3000 + add 'E' test to ncurses.c, to exercise slk_wset().
3001 + correct handling of carriage-return in wgetn_wstr(), used in demo of
3003 + first draft of slk_wset() function.
3006 + improved warnings in tic when suppressing items to fit in termcap's
3008 + built a list in test/README showing which externals are being used
3009 by either programs in the test-directory or via internal library
3011 + adjust include-options in CF_ETIP_DEFINES to avoid missing
3012 ncurses_dll.h, fixing special definitions that may be needed for
3013 etip.h (reported by Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>).
3016 + minor fixes for cardfile.c, to make it write the updated fields to
3017 a file when ^W is given.
3018 + add/use _nc_trace_bufcat() to eliminate some fixed buffer limits in
3022 + correct a case in _nc_remove_string(), used by define_key(), to avoid
3023 infinite loop if the given string happens to be a substring of other
3024 strings which are assigned to keys (report by John McCutchan).
3025 + add key_defined() function, to tell which keycode a string is bound
3026 to (discussion with John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org>).
3027 + correct keybound(), which reported definitions in the wrong table,
3028 i.e., the list of definitions which are disabled by keyok().
3029 + modify demo_keydef.c to show the details it changes, and to check
3033 + restructured test/configure script, make it work for libncursesw.
3034 + add description of link_fieldtype() to manpage (report by
3035 L Dee Holtsclaw <dee@sunbeltsoft.com>).
3038 + corrected ifdef's relating to configure check for wchar_t, etc.
3039 + if the output is a socket or other non-tty device, use 1 millisecond
3040 for the cost in mvcur; previously it was 9 milliseconds because the
3041 baudrate was not known.
3042 + in _nc_get_tty_mode(), initialize the TTY buffer on error, since
3043 glibc copies uninitialized data in that case, as noted by valgrind.
3044 + modify tput to use the same parameter analysis as tparm() does, to
3045 provide for user-defined strings, e.g., for xterm title, a
3046 corresponding capability might be
3048 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid passing "#" tokens through the C
3049 preprocessor. This works around Mac OS X's preprocessor, which
3050 insists on adding a blank on each side of the token (report/analysis
3051 by Kevin Murphy <murphy@genome.chop.edu>).
3054 + add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely
3055 on preprocessor definitions. Also work around for gcc fixinclude
3056 bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols
3057 apparently typedef'd.
3058 + if database is disabled, do not generate run_tic.sh
3059 + minor fixes for memory-leak checking when termcap is read.
3062 + add checking in tic for incomplete line-drawing character mapping.
3063 + update configure script to reflect fix for AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL,
3064 which is broken in autoconf 2.5x for Mac OS X 10.2.3 (report by
3065 Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl>).
3066 + make return value from _nc_printf_string() consistent. Before,
3067 depending on whether --enable-safe-sprintf was used, it might not be
3068 cached for reallocating.
3071 + minor fixes for memory-leak checking in lib_tparm.c, hardscroll.c
3072 + correct a potentially-uninitialized value if _read_termtype() does
3073 not read as much data as expected (report by Wolfgang Rohdewald
3075 + correct several places where the aclocal.m4 macros relied on cache
3076 variable names which were incompatible (as usual) between autoconf
3077 2.13 and 2.5x, causing the test for broken-linker to give incorrect
3078 results (reports by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl> and Thomas Esser
3079 <te@dbs.uni-hannover.de>).
3080 + do not try to open gpm mouse driver if standard output is not a tty;
3081 the gpm library does not make this check (bug report for dialog
3082 by David Oliveira <davidoliveira@develop.prozone.ws>).
3085 + modified emx.src to correspond more closely to terminfo.src, added
3086 emx-base to the latter -TD
3087 + add configure option for FreeBSD sysmouse, --with-sysmouse, and
3088 implement support for that in lib_mouse.c, lib_getch.c
3091 + revert 20030105 change to can_clear_with(), does not work for the
3092 case where the update is made on cells which are blanks with
3093 attributes, e.g., reverse.
3094 + improve ifdef's to guard against redefinition of wchar_t and wint_t
3095 in curses.h (report by Urs Jansen).
3098 + improve mvcur() by checking if it is safe to move when video
3099 attributes are set (msgr), and if not, reset/restore attributes
3100 within that function rather than doing it separately in the GoTo()
3101 function in tty_update.c (suggested by Philippe Blain).
3102 + add a message in run_tic.in to explain more clearly what does not
3103 work when attempting to create a symbolic link for /usr/lib/terminfo
3104 on OS/2 and other platforms with no symbolic links (report by John
3106 + change several sed scripts to avoid using "\+" since it is not a BRE
3107 (basic regular expression). One instance caused terminfo.5 to be
3108 misformatted on FreeBSD (report by Kazuo Horikawa
3109 <horikawa@FreeBSD.org> (see FreeBSD docs/46709)).
3110 + correct misspelled 'wint_t' in curs_get_wch.3x (Michael Elkins).
3113 + improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic
3114 variables (comments by Mark I Manning IV <mark4th@earthlink.net>).
3115 + demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to
3116 use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a
3117 specialized type for the middle initial/name.
3118 + fix MKterminfo.sh, another workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature
3120 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3121 + optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter
3122 is indeed a "blank".
3123 + simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear
3124 sections as small as one line.
3125 + improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying
3127 + use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since
3128 the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines
3129 affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region.
3132 + rewrite of lib_acs.c conflicts with copying of SCREEN acs_map to/from
3133 global acs_map[] array; removed the lines that did the copying.
3136 + change some overlooked tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp()
3137 (report by Philippe Blain).
3138 + modify lib_getch.c to avoid recursion via wgetnstr() when the input
3139 is not a tty and consequently mode-changes do not work (report by
3140 <R.Chamberlin@querix.com>).
3141 + rewrote lib_acs.c to allow PutAttrChar() to decide how to render
3142 alternate-characters, i.e., to work with Linux console and UTF-8
3144 + correct line/column reference in adjust_window(), needed to make
3145 special windows such as curscr track properly when resizing (report
3146 by Lucas Gonze <lgonze@panix.com>).
3147 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3148 + correct the value used for blank in ClrBottom() (broken in 20000708).
3149 + correct an off-by-one in GoTo() parameter in _nc_scrolln().
3152 + change several tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp(), to
3153 enable padding which may be needed for some terminals (patch by
3155 + use '%' as sed substitute delimiter in run_tic script to avoid
3156 problems with pathname delimiters such as ':' and '@' (report by John
3158 + implement a workaround so that line-drawing works with screen's
3159 crippled UTF-8 support (tested with 3.9.13). This only works with
3160 the wide-character support (--enable-widec); the normal library will
3161 simply suppress line-drawing when running in a UTF-8 locale in screen.
3164 + allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
3165 overridden from the environment.
3166 + make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with
3167 the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki).
3168 + modify ncurses/modules to allow
3169 configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs
3170 to build (report by Gary Samuelson).
3171 + fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by
3172 Gary Samuelson <gary.samuelson@verizon.com>).
3173 + correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which
3174 force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report
3175 by Sam Varshavchik).
3176 + small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which
3177 gnatmake adds to its version-message.
3178 > Maciej W Rozycki <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>:
3179 + use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross
3181 + use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
3182 comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
3183 traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.
3184 + change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host"
3185 when referring to the --with-build-XXX options.
3188 + modify CF_GNAT_VERSION to print gnatmake's version, and to allow for
3189 possible gnat versions such as 3.2 (report by Chris Lingard
3190 <chris@stockwith.co.uk>).
3191 + modify #define's for CKILL and other default control characters in
3192 tset to use the system's default values if they are defined.
3193 + correct interchanged defaults for kill and interrupt characters
3194 in tset, which caused it to report unnecessarily (Debian #171583).
3195 + repair check for missing C++ compiler, which is broken in autoconf
3196 2.5x by hardcoding it to g++ (report by Martin Mokrejs).
3197 + update config.guess, config.sub (2002-11-30)
3198 + modify configure script to skip --with-shared, etc., when the
3199 --with-libtool option is given, since they would be ignored anyway.
3200 + fix to allow "configure --with-libtool --with-termlib" to build.
3201 + modify configure script to show version number of libtool, to help
3202 with bug reports. libtool still gets confused if the installed
3203 ncurses libraries are old, since it ignores the -L options at some
3204 point (tested with libtool 1.3.3 and 1.4.3).
3205 + reorder configure script's updating of $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to
3206 prevent -I options in the user's environment from introducing
3207 conflicts with the build -I options (may be related to reports by
3208 Patrick Ash and George Goffe).
3209 + rename test/define_key.c to test/demo_defkey.c, test/keyok.c to
3210 test/demo_keyok.c to allow building these with libtool.
3213 + add example program test/define_key.c for define_key().
3214 + add example program test/keyok.c for keyok().
3215 + add example program test/ins_wide.c for wins_wch() and wins_wstr().
3216 + modify wins_wch() and wins_wstr() to interpret tabs by using the
3217 winsch() internal function.
3218 + modify setcchar() to allow for wchar_t input strings that have
3219 more than one spacing character.
3222 + fix a boundary check in lib_insch.c (patch by Philippe Blain).
3223 + change type for *printw functions from NCURSES_CONST to const
3224 (prompted by comment by Pedro Palhoto Matos <plpm@mega.ist.utl.pt>,
3225 but really from a note on X/Open's website stating that either is
3226 acceptable, and the latter will be used in a future revision).
3227 + add xterm-1002, xterm-1003 terminfo entries to demonstrate changes in
3228 lib_mouse.c (20021026) -TD
3229 + add screen-bce, screen-s entries from screen 3.9.13 (report by
3230 Adam Lazur <zal@debian.org>) -TD
3231 + add mterm terminfo entries -TD
3234 + split-out useful fragments in terminfo for vt100 and vt220 numeric
3235 keypad, i.e., vt100+keypad, vt100+pfkeys, vt100+fnkeys and
3236 vt220+keypad. The last as embedded in various entries had ka3 and
3237 kb2 interchanged (report/discussion with Leonard den Ottolander
3238 <leonardjo@hetnet.nl>).
3239 + add check in tic for keypads consistent with vt100 layout.
3240 + improve checks in tic for color capabilities
3243 + check for missing/empty/illegal terminfo name in _nc_read_entry()
3244 (report by Martin Mokrejs, where $TERM was set to an empty string).
3245 + rewrote lib_insch.c, combining it with lib_insstr.c so both handle
3246 tab and other control characters consistently (report by Philippe
3248 + remove an #undef for KEY_EVENT from curses.tail used in the
3249 experimental NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS feature. The #undef confuses
3250 dpkg's build script (Debian #165897).
3251 + fix MKlib_gen.sh, working around the ironically named POSIXLY_CORRECT
3252 feature of GNU sed 4.0 (reported by Ervin Nemeth <airwin@inf.bme.hu>).
3255 + implement logic in lib_mouse.c to handle position reports which are
3256 generated when XFree86 xterm is initialized with private modes 1002
3257 or 1003. These are returned to the application as the
3258 REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION mask, which was not implemented. Tested both
3259 with ncurses 'a' menu (prompted by discussion with Larry Riedel
3260 <Larry@Riedel.org>).
3261 + modify lib_mouse.c to look for "XM" terminfo string, which allows
3262 one to override the escape sequence used to enable/disable mouse
3263 mode. In particular this works for XFree86 xterm private modes
3264 1002 and 1003. If "XM" is missing (note that this is an extended
3265 name), lib_mouse uses the conventional private mode 1000.
3266 + correct NOT_LOCAL() macro in lib_mvcur.c to refer to screen_columns
3267 where it used screen_lines (report by Philippe Blain).
3268 + correct makefile rules for the case when both --with-libtool and
3269 --with-gpm are given (report by Mr E_T <troll@logi.net.au>).
3270 + add note to terminfo manpage regarding the differences between
3271 setaf/setab and setf/setb capabilities (report by Pavel Roskin).
3274 + remove redundant initialization of TABSIZE in newterm(), since it is
3275 already done in setupterm() (report by Philippe Blain).
3276 + add test/inserts.c, to test winnstr() and winsch().
3277 + replace 'sort' in dist.mk with script that sets locale to POSIX.
3278 + update URLs in announce.html.in (patch by Frederic L W Meunier).
3279 + remove glibc add-on files, which are no longer needed (report by
3280 Frederic L W Meunier).
3282 20021012 5.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
3283 + modify ifdef's in etip.h.in to allow the etip.h header to compile
3284 with gcc 3.2 (patch by Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy@is-vn.bg>).
3285 + add logic to setupterm() to make it like initscr() and newterm(),
3286 by checking for $NCURSES_TRACE environment variable and enabling
3287 the debug trace in that case.
3288 + modify setupterm() to ensure that it initializes the baudrate, for
3289 applications such as tput (report by Frank Henigman).
3290 + modify definition of bits used for command-line and library debug
3291 traces to avoid overlap, using new definition TRACE_SHIFT to relate
3293 + document tput's interpretation of parameterized strings according to
3294 whether parameters are given, etc. (discussion with Robert De Bath).
3296 20021005 pre-release
3297 + correct winnwstr() to account for non-character cells generated when
3298 a double-width character is added (report by Michael Bienia
3299 <michael@vorlon.ping.de>).
3300 + modify _nc_viswbuf2n() to provide better results using wctomb().
3301 + correct logic in _nc_varargs() which broke tracing of parameters for
3302 formats such as "%.*s".
3303 + correct scale factor in linux-c and linux-c-nc terminfo entries
3304 (report Floyd Davidson).
3305 + change tic -A option to -t, add the same option to infocmp for
3307 + correct "%c" implementation in lib_tparm.c, which did not map a null
3308 character to a 128 (cf: 980620) (patch by Frank Henigman
3309 <fjhenigman@mud.cgl.uwaterloo.ca>).
3311 20020928 pre-release
3312 + modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for POSIX sort -k option, use that if
3313 it is found, to accommodate newer utility which dropped the
3314 compatibility support for +number options (reported by Andrey A
3316 + modify linux terminfo entry to use color palette feature from
3317 linux-c-nc entry (comments by Tomasz Wasiak and Floyd Davidson).
3318 + restore original color definitions in endwin() if init_color() was
3319 used, and resume those colors on the next doupdate() or refresh()
3320 (report by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@komputom.com.pl>).
3321 + improve debug-traces by modifying MKlib_gen.sh to generate calls
3322 to returnBool() and returnAttr().
3323 + add/use _nc_visbufn() and _nc_viswbufn() to limit the debug trace
3324 of waddnstr() and similar functions to match the parameters as used.
3325 + add/use _nc_retrace_bool() and _nc_retrace_unsigned().
3326 + correct type used by _nc_retrace_chtype().
3327 + add debug traces to some functions in lib_mouse.c
3328 + modify lib_addch.c to handle non-spacing characters.
3329 + correct parameter of RemAttr() in lib_bkgd.c, which caused the c++
3330 demo's boxes to lose the A_ALTCHARSET flag (broken in 20020629).
3331 + correct width computed in _tracedump(), which did not account for
3332 the attributes (broken in 20010602).
3333 + modify test/tracemunch to replace addresses for windows other than
3334 curscr, newscr and stdscr with window0, window1, etc.
3336 20020921 pre-release
3337 + redid fix for edit_man.sed path.
3338 + workaround for Cygwin bug which makes subprocess writes to stdout
3339 result in core dump.
3340 + documented getbegx(), etc.
3341 + minor fixes to configure script to use '%' consistently as a sed
3342 delimiter rather than '@'.
3343 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3344 + add check in lib_overlay.c to ensure that the windows to be merged
3345 actually overlap, and in copywin(), limit the area to be touched
3346 to the lines given for the destination window.
3348 20020914 pre-release
3349 + modified curses.h so that if the wide-character version is installed
3350 overwriting /usr/include/curses.h, and if it relied on libutf8.h,
3351 then applications that use that header for wide-character support
3352 must define HAVE_LIBUTF8_H.
3353 + modify putwin(), getwin() and dupwin() to allow them to operate on
3354 pads (request by Philippe Blain).
3355 + correct attribute-merging in wborder(), broken in 20020216 (report
3356 by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@grubasek.komputom.com.pl>).
3357 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3358 + corrected pop-counts in tparam_internal() to '!' and '~' cases.
3359 + use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in one place that used sizeof(chtype).
3360 + remove some unused variables from mvcur test-driver.
3362 20020907 pre-release
3363 + change configure script to allow install of widec-character
3364 (ncursesw) headers to overwrite normal (ncurses) headers, since the
3365 latter is a compatible subset of the former.
3366 + fix path of edit_man.sed in configure script, needed to regenerate
3367 html manpages on Debian.
3368 + fix mismatched enums in vsscanf.c, which caused warning on Solaris.
3369 + update README.emx to reflect current patch used for autoconf.
3370 + change web- and ftp-site to invisible-island.net
3371 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3372 + change case for 'P' in tparam_internal() to indicate that it pops
3373 a variable from the stack.
3374 + correct sense of precision and width in parse_format(), to avoid
3376 + modify lib_tparm.c, absorb really_get_space() into get_space().
3377 + modify getwin() and dupwin() to copy the _notimeout, _idlok and
3378 _idcok window fields.
3379 + better fix for _nc_set_type(), using typeMalloc().
3381 20020901 pre-release
3382 + change minor version to 3, i.e., ncurses 5.3
3383 + update config.guess, config.sub
3384 + retest build with each configure option; minor ifdef fixes.
3385 + make keyname() return a null pointer rather than "UNKNOWN STRING" to
3387 + modify handling of wide line-drawing character functions to use the
3388 normal line-drawing characters when not in UTF-8 locale.
3389 + add check/fix to comp_parse.c to suppress warning about missing acsc
3390 string. This happens in configurations where raw termcap information
3391 is processed; tic already does this and other checks.
3392 + modify tic's check for ich/ich1 versus rmir/smir to only warn about
3393 ich1, to match xterm patch #70 notes.
3394 + moved information for ripped-off lines into SCREEN struct to allow
3395 use in resizeterm().
3396 + add experimental wgetch_events(), ifdef'd with NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
3397 (adapted from patch by Ilya Zakharevich - see ncurses/README.IZ).
3398 + amend check in kgetch() from 20020824 to look only for function-keys,
3399 otherwise escape sequences are not resolved properly.
3400 > patch by Philippe Blain:
3401 + removed redundant assignment to SP->_checkfd from newterm().
3402 + check return-value of setupterm() in restartterm().
3403 + use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in a few places that used sizeof(chtype).
3404 + prevent dupwin() from duplicating a pad.
3405 + prevent putwin() from writing a pad.
3406 + use typeRealloc() or typeMalloc() in preference to direct calls on
3410 + add a check in kgetch() for cooked characters in the fifo to avoid
3411 calling fifo_push() when a KEY_RESIZE is available (report/analysis
3412 by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>).
3413 + fix an overlooked case for bugzilla #68199 (Philippe Blain).
3414 + ensure clearerr() is called before using ferror() e.g., in
3415 lib_screen.c (report by Philippe Blain).
3418 + modify lib_screen.c and lib_newwin.c to maintain the SCREEN-specific
3419 pointers for curscr/stdscr/newscr when scr_save() and scr_restore()
3420 modify the global curscr/stdscr/newscr variables. Fixes Redhat
3421 bugzilla #68199 dated 2002-07-07.
3422 + add checks for null pointer in calls to tparm() and tgoto() based on
3423 FreeBSD bug report. If ncurses were built with termcap support, and
3424 the first call to tgoto() were a zero-length string, the result would
3425 be a null pointer, which was not handled properly.
3426 + correct a typo in terminfo.head, which gave the octal code for colon
3428 + remove the "tic -u" option from 20020810, since it did not account
3429 for nested "tc=" clauses, and when that was addressed, was still
3433 + add tic -A option to suppress capabilities which are commented out
3434 when translating to termcap.
3435 + add tic -u option to provide older behavior of "tc=" clauses.
3436 + modified tic to expand all but the final "tc=" clause in a termcap
3437 entry, to accommodate termcap libraries which do not handle multiple
3439 + correct typo in curs_inopts.3x regarding CS8/CS7 usage (report by
3441 + remove a couple of redundant uses of A_ATTRIBUTES in expressions
3442 using AttrOf(), which already incorporates that mask (report by
3444 + document TABSIZE variable.
3445 + add NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS environment variable, to allow users to
3446 override compiled-in default black-on-white assumption used in
3447 assume_default_colors().
3448 + correct an off-by-one comparison against max_colors in COLORFGBG
3450 + correct a use of uninitialized memory found by valgrind (reported by
3451 Olaf Buddenhagen <olafBuddenhagen@web.de>).
3452 + modified wresize() to ensure that a failed realloc will not corrupt
3453 the window structure, and to make subwindows fit within the resized
3454 window (completes Debian #87678, #101699)
3457 + fix an off-by-one in lib_pad.c check for limits of pad (patch by
3459 + revise logic for BeOS in lib_twait.c altered in 20011013 to restore
3460 logic used by lib_getch.c's support for GPM or EMX mouse (report by
3462 + remove NCURSES_CONST from several prototypes in curses.wide, to make
3463 the --enable-const --enable-widec configure options to work together
3464 (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@yahoo.com>).
3467 + finish no-leak checking in cardfile.c, using this for testing changes
3469 + simplify _nc_freeall() using delscreen().
3472 + check error-return from _nc_set_tty_mode() in _nc_initscr() and
3473 reset_prog_mode() (report/patch by Philippe Blain).
3474 + regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52, to address
3475 problem with identifying C++ bool type.
3476 + correct/improve logic to produce an exit status for errors in tput,
3477 which did not exit with an error when told to put a string not in the
3478 current terminfo entry (report by David Gomez <david@pleyades.net>).
3479 + modify configure script AC_OUTPUT() call to work around defect in
3480 autoconf 2.52 which adds an ifdef'd include to the generated
3481 configure definitions.
3482 + remove fstat() check from scr_init(), which also fixes a missing
3483 include for <sys/stat.h> from 20020713 (reported by David Ellement,
3484 fix suggested by Philippe Blain).
3485 + update curs_scanw.3x manpage to note that XSI curses differs from
3486 SVr4 curses: return-values are incompatible.
3487 + correct several prototypes in manpages which used const
3488 inconsistently with the curses.h file, and removed spurious const's
3489 in a few places from curses.h, e.g., for wbkgd() (report by Glenn
3490 Maynard <glenn@zewt.org>).
3491 + change internal type used by tparm() to long, to work with LP64 model.
3492 + modify nc_alloc.h to allow building with g++, for testing.
3495 + add resize-handling to cardfile.c test program.
3496 + altered resizeterm() to avoid having it fail when a child window
3497 cannot be resized because it would be larger than its parent. (More
3498 work must be done on this, but it works well enough to integrate).
3499 + improve a limit-check in lib_refresh.c
3500 + remove check in lib_screen.c relating dumptime to file's modification
3501 times, since that would not necessarily work for remotely mounted
3503 + modify lrtest to simplify debugging changes to resizeterm, e.g.,
3504 t/T commands to enable/disable tracing.
3505 + updated status of multibyte support in TO-DO.
3506 + update contact info in source-files (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
3509 + add Caps.hpux11, as an example.
3510 + modify version_filter(), used to implement -R option for tic and
3511 infocmp, to use computed array offsets based on the Caps.* file which
3512 is actually configured, rather than constants which correspond to
3514 + reorganized lib_raw.c to avoid updating SP and cur_term state if the
3515 functions fail (reported by Philippe Blain).
3516 + add -Wundef to gcc warnings, adjust a few ifdef's to accommodate gcc.
3519 + correct parameters to setcchar() in ncurses.c (cf: 20020406).
3520 + set locale in most test programs (view.c and ncurses.c were the
3522 + add configure option --with-build-cppflags (report by Maksim A
3523 Nikulin <M.A.Nikulin@inp.nsk.su>).
3524 + correct a typo in wide-character logic for lib_bkgnd.c (Philippe
3526 + modify lib_wacs.c to not cancel the acsc, smacs, rmacs strings when
3527 in UTF-8 locale. Wide-character functions use Unicode values, while
3528 narrow-character functions use the terminfo data.
3529 + fix a couple of places in Ada95/samples which did not compile with
3531 + modify mkinstalldirs so the DOS-pathname case is locale-independent.
3532 + fix locale problem in MKlib_gen.sh by forcing related variables to
3533 POSIX (C), using same approach as autoconf (set variables only if
3534 they were set before). Update MKterminfo.sh and MKtermsort.sh to
3538 + add charset to generated html.
3539 + add mvterm entry, adapted from a FreeBSD bug-report by Daniel Rudy
3540 <dcrudy@pacbell.net> -TD
3541 + add rxvt-16color, ibm+16color entries -TD
3542 + modify check in --disable-overwrite option so that it is used by
3543 default unless the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr, in attempt to
3544 work around packagers, e.g., for Sun's freeware, who do not read the
3548 + modify wgetch() to allow returning ungetch'd KEY_RESIZE as a function
3549 key code in get_wch().
3550 + extended resize-handling in test/ncurses 'a' menu to the entire
3551 stack of windows created with 'w' commands.
3552 + improve $COLORFGBG feature by interpreting an out-of-range color
3553 value as an SGR 39 or 49, for foreground/background respectively.
3554 + correct a typo in configure --enable-colorfgbg option, and move it
3555 to the experimental section (cf: 20011208).
3558 + add logic to dump_entry.c to remove function-key definitions that do
3559 not fit into the 1023-byte limit for generated termcaps. This makes
3561 + more improvements to tic's warnings, including logic to ignore
3562 differences between delay values in sgr strings.
3563 + move definition of KEY_RESIZE into MKkeydefs.sh script, to
3564 accommodate Caps.osf1r5 which introduced a conflicting definition.
3567 + add simple resize-handling in test/ncurses.c 'a' menu.
3568 + fixes in keyname() and _tracechar() to handle negative values.
3569 + make tic's warnings about mismatches in sgr strings easier to follow.
3570 + correct tic checks for number of parameters in smgbp and smglp.
3571 + improve scoansi terminfo entry, and add scoansi-new entry -TD
3572 + add pcvt25-color terminfo entry -TD
3573 + add kf13-kf48 strings to cons25w terminfo entry (reported by Stephen
3574 Hurd <deuce@lordlegacy.org> in newsgroup lucky.freebsd.bugs) -TD
3575 + add entrypoint _nc_trace_ttymode(), use this to distinguish the
3576 Ottyb and Nttyb members of terminal (aka cur_term), for tracing.
3579 + correct and simplify logic for lib_pad.c change in 20020518 (reported
3583 + fix lib_pad.c for case of drawing a double-width character which
3584 falls off the left margin of the pad (patch by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij
3585 <lerdsuwa@users.sourceforge.net>)
3586 + modify configure script to work around broken gcc 3.1 "--version"
3587 option, which adds unnecessary trash to the requested information.
3588 + adjust ifdef's in case SIGWINCH is not defined, e.g., with DJGPP
3589 (reported by Ben Decker <deckerben@freenet.de>).
3592 + implement vid_puts(), vid_attr(), term_attrs() based on the narrow-
3593 character versions as well.
3594 + implement erasewchar(), killwchar() based on erasechar() and
3596 + modify erasechar() and killchar() to return ERR if the value was
3598 + correct a bug in wresize() in handling subwindows (based on patch by
3599 Roger Gammans <rgammans@computer-surgery.co.uk>, report by Scott Beck
3600 <scott@gossamer-threads.com>).
3601 + improve test/tclock.c by making the second-hand update more often
3602 if gettimeofday() is available.
3605 + workaround for Solaris sed with MKlib_gen.sh (reported by Andy
3606 Tsouladze <andyt@mypoints.com>).
3609 + correct return-value from getcchar(), making it consistent with
3611 + reorder loops that generate makefile rules for different models vs
3612 subsets so configure --with-termlib works again. This was broken by
3613 logic added to avoid duplicate rules in changes to accommodate cygwin
3614 dll's (reported by George.R.Goffe@seagate.com).
3615 + update config.guess, config.sub
3618 + modify ifdef's in write_entry.c to allow use of symbolic links on
3619 platforms with no hard links, e.g., BeOS.
3620 + modify a few includes to allow compile with BeOS, which has stdbool.h
3621 with a conflicting definition for 'bool' versus its OS.h definition.
3622 + amend MKlib_gen.sh to work with gawk, which defines 'func' as an
3623 alias for 'function'.
3626 + correct form of prototype for ripoffline().
3627 + modify MKlib_gen.sh to test that all functions marked as implemented
3631 + add manpages: curs_get_wstr.3x, curs_in_wchstr.3x
3632 + implement wgetn_wstr().
3633 + implement win_wchnstr().
3634 + remove redefinition of unget_wch() in lib_gen.c (reported by
3635 Jungshik Shin <jshin@jtan.com>).
3638 + modified several of the test programs to allow them to compile with
3639 vendor curses implementations, e.g., Solaris, AIX -TD
3642 + modified test/configure to allow configuring against ncursesw.
3643 + change WACS_xxx definition to use address, to work like Tru64 curses.
3646 + add 'e' and 'm' toggles to 'a', 'A' tests in ncurses.c to demonstrate
3647 effect of echo/noecho and meta modes.
3648 + add 'A' test to ncurses.c to demonstrate wget_wch() and related
3650 + add manpage: curs_get_wch.3x
3651 + implement unget_wch().
3652 + implement wget_wch().
3655 + regenerated html manpages.
3656 + add manpages: curs_in_wch.3x, curs_ins_wch.3x, curs_ins_wstr.3x
3657 + implement wins_wch().
3658 + implement win_wch().
3659 + implement wins_nwstr(), wins_wstr().
3662 + add manpages: curs_addwstr.3x, curs_winwstr.3x
3663 + implement winnwstr(), winwstr().
3666 + add manpages: curs_add_wchstr.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x
3667 + document wunctrl, key_name.
3668 + implement key_name().
3669 + remove const's in lib_box.c incorrectly leftover after splitting off
3671 + update llib-lncurses, llib-ncursesw, fix configure script related to
3675 + remove quotes on "SYNOPSIS" in man/curs_box_set.3x, which resulted
3676 in spurious symlinks on install.
3679 + implement whline_set(), wvline_set(), add manpage curs_border_set.
3680 + add subtest 'b' to 'F' and 'f' in ncurses.c to demonstrate use of
3681 box() and box_set() functions.
3682 + add subtest 'u' to 'F' in ncurses.c, to demonstrate use of addstr()
3683 given UTF-8 string equivalents of WACS_xxx symbols.
3684 + minor fixes to several manpages based on groff -ww output.
3685 + add descriptions of external variables of termcap interface to
3686 the manpage (report by Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au>).
3687 > patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
3688 + correct configure option --with-bool, which was executed as
3690 + add quotes for parameters of --with-bool and --with-ospeed configure
3692 > patch by Sven Verdoolaege (report by Gerhard Haering
3693 <haering_linux@gmx.de>):
3694 + correct typos in definitions of several wide-character macros:
3695 waddwstr, wgetbkgrnd, mvaddwstr, mvwadd_wchnstr, mvwadd_wchnstr,
3697 + pass $(CPPFLAGS) to MKlib_gen.sh, thereby fixing a missing definition
3698 of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, e.g., on Solaris
3701 + implement wide-acs characters for UTF-8 locales. When in UTF-8
3702 locale, ignore narrow version of acs. Add 'F' test to test/ncurses.c
3704 + correct prototype in keybound manpage (noted from a Debian mailing
3708 + add several cases to the wscanw() example in testcurs.c, showing the
3710 + implement a simple vsscanf() fallback function which uses the %n
3711 conversion to help parse the input data (prompted by discussion with
3712 Albert Chin-A-Young).
3713 + modify mk-1st.awk and test/Makefile.in to add $(LDFLAGS) when making
3714 shared libraries, and to use $(CFLAGS) when linking test programs
3715 (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
3716 + add a call to _nc_keypad() in keypad() to accommodate applications
3717 such as nvi, which use curses for output but not for input (fixes
3718 Debian #131263, cf: 20011215).
3719 + add entrypoints to resizeterm.c which provide better control over the
3720 process: is_term_resized() and resize_term(). The latter restores
3721 the original design of resizeterm() before KEY_RESIZE was added in
3722 970906. Do this to accommodate 20010922 changes to view.c, but allow
3723 for programs with their own sigwinch handler, such as lynx (reported
3724 by Russell Ruby <russ@math.orst.edu>).
3727 + fix a typo in change to mk-1st.awk, which broke the shared-library
3728 makefile rules (reported by Martin Mokrejs).
3731 + update config.guess, config.sub
3732 + finish changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
3733 + fix a typo in mvwchat() macro (reported by Cy <yam@homerow.net).
3736 + add case in lib_baudrate.c for B921600 (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
3737 + correct missing sed-editing stage in manpage installs which is used
3738 to rename manpages, broken in 20010324 fix for Debian #89939 (Debian
3740 + remove -L$(libdir) from linker flags, probably not needed any more
3741 since HPUX is handled properly (reported by Niibe Yutaka
3743 + add configure check for mbstate_t, needed for wide-character
3744 configuration. On some platforms we must include <wchar.h> to
3745 define this (reported by Daniel Jacobowitz).
3746 + incorporate some of the changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
3749 + workaround for awk did not work with mawk, adjusted shell script.
3752 + add Caps.osf1r5, as an example.
3753 + modify behavior of can_clear_with() so that if an application is
3754 running in a non-bce terminals with default colors enabled, it
3755 returns true, allowing the user to select/paste text without picking
3756 up extraneous trailing blanks (adapted from patch by Daniel
3757 Jacobowitz <dmj+@andrew.cmu.edu>).
3758 + modify generated curses.h to ifdef-out prototypes for extensions if
3759 they are disabled, and to define curses_version() as a string in that
3760 case. This is needed to make the programs such as tic build in that
3762 + modified generated headers.sh to remove a gzip'd version of the
3763 target file if it exists, in case non-gzip'd manpages are installed
3764 into a directory where gzip'd ones exist. In that case, the latter
3766 + corrected a redundant initialization of signal handlers from 20010922
3768 + clarified bug-reporting address in terminfo.src (report by John H
3769 DuBois III <spcecdt@armory.com>).
3770 > several fixes from Robert Joop:
3771 + do not use "-v" option of awk in MKkey_defs.sh because it does not
3772 work with SunOS nawk.
3773 + modify definitions for libutf8 in curses.h to avoid redefinition
3775 + quoted references to compiler in shell command in misc/Makefile, in
3776 case it uses multiple tokens.
3779 + restore special case from 20010922 changes to omit SA_RESTART when
3780 setting up SIGWINCH handler, which is needed to allow wgetch() to be
3781 interrupted by that signal.
3782 + update configure macro CF_WITH_PATHLIST, to omit some double quotes
3783 not needed with autoconf 2.52
3784 + revert configure script to autoconf 2.13 patched with
3785 autoconf-2.13-19990117.patch.gz (or later)
3787 ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
3788 because autoconf 2.52 macro AC_PROG_AWK does not work on HPUX 11.0
3789 (report by David Ellement <ellement@sdd.hp.com>). This also fixes a
3790 different problem configuring with Mac OS X (reported by Marc Smith
3791 <marc.a.smith@home.com>).
3794 + modify include/edit_cfg.h to eliminate BROKEN_LINKER symbol from
3796 + move prototype for _nc_vsscanf() into curses.h.in to omit
3797 HAVE_VSSCANF symbol from curses.h, which was dependent upon the
3798 ncurses_cfg.h file which is not installed.
3799 + use ACS_LEN rather than SIZEOF(acs_map) in trace code of lib_acs.c,
3800 to work with broken linker configuration, e.g., cygwin (report by
3801 Robert Joop <rj@rainbow.in-berlin.de>).
3802 + make napms() call _nc_timed_wait() rather than poll() or select(),
3803 to work around broken implementations of these on cygwin.
3806 + drop configure macro CF_WIDEC_SHIFT, since that was rendered obsolete
3807 by Sven Verdoolaege's rewrite of wide-character support. This makes
3808 libncursesw incompatible again, but makes the header files almost the
3809 same as in the narrow-character configuration.
3810 + simplify definitions that combine wide/narrow versions of bkgd, etc.,
3811 to eliminate differences between the wide/narrow versions of curses.h
3812 + correct typo in configure macro CF_FUNC_VSSCANF
3813 + correct location of call to _nc_keypad() from 20011215 changes which
3814 prevented keypad() from being disabled (reported by Lars Hecking).
3817 + rewrote ncurses 'a' test to exercise wgetch() and keypad() functions
3818 better, e.g., by adding a 'w' command to create new windows which
3819 may have different keypad() settings.
3820 + corrected logic of keypad() by adding internal screen state to track
3821 whether the terminal's keypad-mode has been set. Use this in
3822 wgetch() to update the keypad-mode according to whether the
3823 associated window's keypad-mode has been set with keypad(). This
3824 corrects a related problem restoring terminal state after handling
3825 SIGTSTP (reported by Mike Castle).
3826 + regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52
3827 autoconf-2.52-patch.gz
3829 ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
3830 + update config.guess, config.sub from
3831 http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
3832 + minor changes to quoting in configure script to allow it to work
3836 + modify final checks in lib_setup.c for line and col values, making
3838 + modify acs_map[] if configure --broken-linker is specified, to make
3839 it use a function rather than an array (prompted by an incorrect
3840 implementation in cygwin package).
3841 + correct spelling of configure option --enable-colorfgbg, which
3842 happened to work if --with-develop was set (noted in cygwin package
3844 + modify ifdef for genericerror() to compile with SUNWspro Sun WorkShop
3845 6 update 1 C++ 5.2 (patch by Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>).
3846 + add configure checks to see if ncurses' fallback vsscanf() will
3847 compile either of the special cases for FILE structs, and if not,
3848 force it to the case which simply returns an error (report by
3849 Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu> indicates that Solaris 8 with
3850 64-bits does not allow access to FILE's fields).
3851 + modify ifdef's for c++/cursesw.cc to use the fallback vsscanf() in
3852 the ncurses library if no better substitute for this can be found
3854 + modify the build to name dynamic libraries according to the
3855 convention used on OS X and Darwin. Rather than something like
3856 libncurses.dylib.5.2, Darwin would name it libncurses. 5.dylib.
3857 There are a few additional minor fixes, such as setting the library
3858 version and compatibility version numbers (patch by Jason Evans
3859 <jevans@apple.com>).
3860 + use 'sh' to run mkinstalldirs, to work around problems with buggy
3861 versions of 'make' on OS/2 (report by John Polterak <jp@eyup.org>).
3862 + correct typo in manpage description of curs_set() (Debian #121548).
3863 + replace the configure script existence-check for mkstemp() by one
3864 that checks if the function works, needed for older glibc and
3868 + modify script that generates fallbacks.c to compile a temporary
3869 copy of the terminfo source in case the host does not contain all of
3870 the entries requested for fallbacks (request by Greg Roelofs).
3871 + modify configure script to accommodate systems such as Mac OS X whose
3872 <stdbool.h> header defines a 'bool' type inconsistent with ncurses,
3873 which normally makes 'bool' consistent with C++. Include <stdbool.h>
3874 from curses.h to force consistent usage, define a new type
3875 NCURSES_BOOL and related that to the exported 'bool' as either a
3876 typedef or definition, according to whether <stdbool.h> is present
3877 (based on a bug report for tin 1.5.9 by Aaron Adams <adamsa@mac.com>).
3880 + added/updated terminfo entries for M$ telnet and KDE konsole -TD
3883 + updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
3884 (Benjamin C W Sittler).
3885 + add putty terminfo entry -TD
3886 + if configuring for wide-curses, define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, since
3887 this may not otherwise be defined to make test/view.c compile.
3890 + review/correct several missing/generated items in curses.wide, sorted
3891 the lists to make subsequent diff's easier to track.
3894 + add manual pages for add_wch(), echo_wchar(), getcchar(),
3895 mvadd_wch(), mvwadd_wch(), setcchar(), wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar().
3896 + implement wecho_wchar()
3897 + modify _tracedump() to handle wide-characters by mapping them to '?'
3898 and control-characters to '.', to make the trace file readable. Also
3899 dynamically allocate the buffer used by _tracedump() for formatting
3901 + modify T_CALLED/T_RETURN macros to ease balancing call/return lines
3902 in a trace by using curly braces.
3903 + implement _nc_viscbuf(), for tracing cchar_t arrays.
3904 + correct trace-calls in setcchar() and getcchar() functions, which
3905 traced the return values but not the entry to each function.
3906 + correct usage message in test/view.c, which still mentioned -u flag.
3909 + modify configure script to allow building with termcap only, or with
3910 fallbacks only. In this case, we do not build tic and toe.
3911 + add configure --with-termpath option, to override default TERMPATH
3912 value of /etc/termcap:/usr/share/misc/termcap.
3913 + cosmetic change to tack: make menu descriptions agree with menu
3917 + rewrote limit-checks in wscrl() and associated _nc_scroll_window(),
3918 to ensure that if the parameter of wscrl() is larger than the size of
3919 the scrolling region, then the scrolling region will be cleared
3920 (report by Ben Kohlen <bckohlen@yahoo.com>).
3921 + add trace/varargs.c, using this to trace parameters in lib_printw.c
3922 + implement _tracecchar_t2() and _tracecchar_t().
3923 + split-out trace/visbuf.c
3924 + correct typo in lib_printw.c changes from 20010922 (report by Mike
3928 + modify run_tic.sh to check if the build is a cross-compile. In that
3929 case, do not use the build's tic to install the terminfo database
3930 (report by Rafael Rodriguez Velilla <rrv@tid.es>).
3931 + modify mouse click resolution so that mouseinterval(-1) will disable
3932 it, e.g., to handle touchscreens via a slow connection (request by
3933 Byron Stanoszek <gandalf@winds.org>).
3934 + correct mouseinterval() default value shown in curs_mouse.3x
3935 + remove conflicting definition of mouse_trafo() (reported by Lars
3936 Hecking, using gcc 2.95.3).
3939 + simpler fix for signal_name(), to replace the one overlooked in
3940 20010929 (reported by Larry Virden).
3943 + add -i option to view.c, to test ncurses' check for non-default
3944 signal handler for SIGINT, etc.
3945 + add cases for shared-libraries on Darwin/OS X (patch by Rob Braun
3946 <bbraun@synack.net>).
3947 + modify tset to restore original I/O modes if an error is encountered.
3948 Also modify to use buffered stderr consistently rather than mixing
3950 + change signal_name() function to use if-then-else rather than case
3951 statement, since signal-values aren't really integers (reported by
3953 + add limit checks in wredrawln(), fixing a problem where lynx was
3954 repainting a pad which was much larger than the screen.
3957 + fix: PutRange() was counting the second part of a wide character as
3958 part of a run, resulting in a cursor position that was one too far
3959 (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
3960 + modify resizeterm() to not queue a KEY_RESIZE if there was no
3961 SIGWINCH, thereby separating the two styles of SIGWINCH handling
3963 + simplified lib_tstp.c, modify it to use SA_RESTART flag for SIGWINCH.
3964 + eliminate several static buffers in the terminfo compiler, using
projects / ncurses.git / blob
