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.
+20100123
+ + for term-driver configuration, ensure that the driver pointer is
+ initialized in setupterm so that terminfo/termcap programs work.
+ + amend fix for Debian #542031 to ensure that wattrset() returns only
+ OK or ERR, rather than the attribute value (report by Miroslav
+ Lichvar).
+ + reorder WINDOWLIST to put WINDOW data after SCREEN pointer, making
+ _nc_screen_of() compatible between normal/wide libraries again (patch
+ by Miroslav Lichvar)
+ + review/fix include-dependencies in modules files (report by Miroslav
+ Lichvar).
+
+20100116
+ + modify win_driver.c to initialize acs_map for win32 console, so
+ that line-drawing works.
+ + modify win_driver.c to initialize TERMINAL struct so that programs
+ such as test/lrtest.c and test/ncurses.c which test string
+ capabilities can run.
+ + modify term-driver modules to eliminate forward-reference
+ declarations.
+
+20100109
+ + modify configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., to use CF_ADD_CFLAGS
+ consistently to add new -D's while removing duplicates.
+ + modify a few configure macros to consistently put new options
+ before older in the list.
+ + add tiparm(), based on review of X/Open Curses Issue 7.
+ + minor documentation cleanup.
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
+ (caveat - its maintainer put 2010 copyright date on files dated 2009)
+
+20100102
+ + minor improvement to tic's checking of similar SGR's to allow for the
+ most common case of SGR 0.
+ + modify getmouse() to act as its documentation implied, returning on
+ each call the preceding event until none are left. When no more
+ events remain, it will return ERR.
+
+20091227
+ + change order of lookup in progs/tput.c, looking for terminfo data
+ first. This fixes a confusion between termcap "sg" and terminfo
+ "sgr" or "sgr0", originally from 990123 changes, but exposed by
+ 20091114 fixes for hashing. With this change, only "dl" and "ed" are
+ ambiguous (Mandriva #56272).
+
+20091226
+ + add bterm terminfo entry, based on bogl 0.1.18 -TD
+ + minor fix to rxvt+pcfkeys terminfo entry -TD
+ + build-fixes for Ada95 tree for gnat 4.4 "style".
+
+20091219
+ + remove old check in mvderwin() which prevented moving a derived
+ window whose origin happened to coincide with its parent's origin
+ (report by Katarina Machalkova).
+ + improve test/ncurses.c to put mouse droppings in the proper window.
+ + update minix terminfo entry -TD
+ + add bw (auto-left-margin) to nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler)
+
+20091212
+ + correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
+ field_buffer(), which stopped at the end of the first row due to
+ filling of unused entries in a cchar_t array with nulls.
+ + updated nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler, Emanuele Giaquinta)
+ + modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to show wide-character
+ nulls.
+ + use strdup() in set_menu_mark(), restore .marklen struct member on
+ failure.
+ + eliminate clause 3 from the UCB copyrights in read_termcap.c and
+ tset.c per
+ ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change
+ (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+ + replace a malloc in tic.c with strdup, checking for failure (patch by
+ Nicholas Marriott).
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
+
+20091205
+ + correct layout of working window used to extract data in
+ wide-character configured by set_field_buffer (patch by Rafael
+ Garrido Fernandez)
+ + improve some limit-checks related to filename length in reading and
+ writing terminfo entries.
+ + ensure that filename is always filled in when attempting to read
+ a terminfo entry, so that infocmp can report the filename (patch
+ by Nicholas Marriott).
+
+20091128
+ + modify mk-1st.awk to allow tinfo library to be built when term-driver
+ is enabled.
+ + add error-check to configure script to ensure that sp-funcs is
+ enabled if term-driver is, since some internal interfaces rely upon
+ this.
+
+20091121
+ + fix case where progs/tput is used while sp-funcs is configure; this
+ requires save/restore of out-character function from _nc_prescreen
+ rather than the SCREEN structure (report by Charles Wilson).
+ + fix typo in man/curs_trace.3x which caused incorrect symbolic links
+ + improved configure macros CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_PROG_LINT.
+
+20091114
+
+ + updated man/curs_trace.3x
+ + limit hashing for termcap-names to 2-characters (Ubuntu #481740).
+ + change a variable name in lib_newwin.c to make it clearer which
+ value is being freed on error (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+
+20091107
+ + improve test/ncurses.c color-cycling test by reusing attribute-
+ and color-cycling logic from the video-attributes screen.
+ + add ifdef'd with NCURSES_INTEROP_FUNCS experimental bindings in form
+ library which help make it compatible with interop applications
+ (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ + add configure option --enable-interop, for integrating changes
+ for generic/interop support to form-library by Juergen Pfeifer
+
+20091031
+ + modify use of $CC environment variable which is defined by X/Open
+ as a curses feature, to ignore it if it is not a single character
+ (prompted by discussion with Benjamin C W Sittler).
+ + add START_TRACE in slk_init
+ + fix a regression in _nc_ripoffline which made test/ncurses.c not show
+ soft-keys, broken in 20090927 merging.
+ + change initialization of "hidden" flag for soft-keys from true to
+ false, broken in 20090704 merging (Ubuntu #464274).
+ + update nsterm entries (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler, prompted by
+ discussion with Fabian Groffen in GenToo #206201).
+ + add test/xterm-256color.dat
+
+20091024
+ + quiet some pedantic gcc warnings.
+ + modify _nc_wgetch() to check for a -1 in the fifo, e.g., after a
+ SIGWINCH, and discard that value, to avoid confusing application
+ (patch by Eygene Ryabinkin, FreeBSD bin/136223).
+
+20091017
+ + modify handling of $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to use only the first item in
+ a possibly colon-separated list (Debian #550716).
+
+20091010
+ + supply a null-terminator to buffer in _nc_viswibuf().
+ + fix a sign-extension bug in unget_wch() (report by Mike Gran).
+ + minor fixes to error-returns in default function for tputs, as well
+ as in lib_screen.c
+
20091003
+ add WACS_xxx definitions to wide-character configuration for thick-
and double-lines (discussion with Slava Zanko).
