This is a log of changes that ncurses has gone through since Zeyd started
Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions;
it is not possible to add this information.
+20100731
+ + modify initialization check for win32con driver to eliminate need for
+ special case for TERM "unknown", using terminal database if available
+ (prompted by discussion with Roumen Petrov).
+ + for MinGW port, ensure that terminal driver is setup if tgetent()
+ is called (patch by Roumen Petrov).
+ + document tabs "-0" and "-8" options in manpage.
+ + fix Debian "lintian" issues with manpages reported in
+ http://lintian.debian.org/full/csmall@debian.org.html#ncurses
+
+20100724
+ + add a check in tic for missing set_tab if clear_all_tabs given.
+ + improve use of symbolic links in makefiles by using "-f" option if
+ it is supported, to eliminate temporary removal of the target
+ (prompted by http://www.t2-project.org/packages/ncurses.html)
+ + minor improvement to test/ncurses.c, reset color pairs in 'd' test
+ after exit from 'm' main-menu command.
+ + improved ncu-indent, from mawk changes, allows more than one of
+ GCC_NORETURN, GCC_PRINTFLIKE and GCC_SCANFLIKE on a single line.
+
+20100717
+ + add hard-reset for rs2 to wsvt25 to help ensure that reset ends
+ the alternate character set (patch by Nicholas Marriott)
+ + remove tar-copy.sh and related configure/Makefile chunks, since the
+ Ada95 binding is now installed using rules in Ada95/src.
+
+20100703
+ + continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
+ + add/use configure check to turn on project rules for Ada95/src.
+ + revert the vfork change from 20100130, since it does not work.
+
+20100626
+ + continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
+ + old gnatmake (3.15) does not produce libraries using project-file;
+ work around by adding script to generate alternate makefile.
+
+20100619
+ + continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
+ + add configure --with-ada-sharedlib option, for the test_make rule.
+ + move Ada95-related logic into aclocal.m4, since additional checks
+ will be needed to distinguish old/new implementations of gnat.
+
+20100612
+ + start integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95 tree
+ + add test_make / test_clean / test_install rules in Ada95/src
+ + change install-path for adainclude directory to /usr/share/ada (was
+ /usr/lib/ada).
+ + update Ada95/configure.
+ + add mlterm+256color entry, for mlterm 3.0.0 -TD
+ + modify test/configure to use macros to ensure consistent order
+ of updating LIBS variable.
+
+20100605
+ + change search order of options for Solaris in CF_SHARED_OPTS, to
+ work with 64-bit compiles.
+ + correct quoting of assignment in CF_SHARED_OPTS case for aix
+ (cf: 20081227)
+
+20100529
+ + regenerated html documentation.
+ + modify test/configure to support pkg-config for checking X libraries
+ used by PDCurses.
+ + add/use configure macro CF_ADD_LIB to force consistency of
+ assignments to $LIBS, etc.
+ + fix configure script for combining --with-pthread
+ and --enable-weak-symbols options.
+
+20100522
+ + correct cross-compiling configure check for CF_MKSTEMP macro, by
+ adding a check cache variable set by AC_CHECK_FUNC (report by
+ Pierre Labastie).
+ + simplify include-dependencies of make_hash and make_keys, to reduce
+ the need for setting BUILD_CPPFLAGS in cross-compiling when the
+ build- and target-machines differ.
+ + repair broken-linker configuration by restoring a definition of SP
+ variable to curses.priv.h, and adjusting for cases where sp-funcs
+ are used.
+ + improve configure macro CF_AR_FLAGS, allowing ARFLAGS environment
+ variable to override (prompted by report by Pablo Cazallas).
+
20100515
+ add configure option --enable-pthreads-eintr to control whether the
new EINTR feature is enabled.
overlooked til now.
20081011
- + update html documentation.
+ + regenerated html documentation.
+ add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
+ correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
