Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions;
it is not possible to add this information.
+20120505
+ + remove p6 (bold) from opus3n1+ for consistency -TD
+ + remove acs stuff from env230 per clues in Ingres termcap -TD
+ + modify env230 sgr/sgr0 to match other capabilities -TD
+ + modify smacs/rmacs in bq300-8 to match sgr/sgr0 -TD
+ + make sgr for dku7202 agree with other caps -TD
+ + make sgr for ibmpc agree with other caps -TD
+ + make sgr for tek4107 agree with other caps -TD
+ + make sgr for ndr9500 agree with other caps -TD
+ + make sgr for sco-ansi agree with other caps -TD
+ + make sgr for d410 agree with other caps -TD
+ + make sgr for d210 agree with other caps -TD
+ + make sgr for d470c, d470c-7b agree with other caps -TD
+ + remove redundant AC_DEFINE for NDEBUG versus Makefile definition.
+ + fix a back-link in _nc_delink_entry(), which is needed if ncurses is
+ configured with --enable-termcap and --disable-getcap.
+
+20120428
+ + fix some inconsistencies between vt320/vt420, e.g., cnorm/civis -TD
+ + add eslok flag to dec+sl -TD
+ + dec+sl applies to vt320 and up -TD
+ + drop wsl width from xterm+sl -TD
+ + reuse xterm+sl in putty and nsca-m -TD
+ + add ansi+tabs to vt520 -TD
+ + add ansi+enq to vt220-vt520 -TD
+ + fix a compiler warning in example in ncurses-intro.doc (Paul Waring).
+ + added paragraph in keyname manpage telling how extended capabilities
+ are interpreted as key definitions.
+ + modify tic's check of conflicting key definitions to include extended
+ capability strings in addition to the existing check on predefined
+ keys.
+
+20120421
+ + improve cleanup of temporary files in tic using atexit().
+ + add msgr to vt420, similar DEC vtXXX entries -TD
+ + add several missing vt420 capabilities from vt220 -TD
+ + factor out ansi+pp from several entries -TD
+ + change xterm+sl and xterm+sl-twm to include only the status-line
+ capabilities and not "use=xterm", making them more generally useful
+ as building-blocks -TD
+ + add dec+sl building block, as example -TD
+
+20120414
+ + add XT to some terminfo entries to improve usefulness for other
+ applications than screen, which would like to pretend that xterm's
+ title is a status-line. -TD
+ + change use-clauses in ansi-mtabs, hp2626, and hp2622 based on review
+ of ordering and overrides -TD
+ + add consistency check in tic for screen's "XT" capability.
+ + add section in terminfo.src summarizing the user-defined capabilities
+ used in that file -TD
+
+20120407
+ + fix an inconsistency between tic/infocmp "-x" option; tic omits all
+ non-standard capabilities, while infocmp was ignoring only the user
+ definable capabilities.
+ + improve special case in tic parsing of description to allow it to be
+ followed by terminfo capabilities. Previously the description had to
+ be the last field on an input line to allow tic to distinguish
+ between termcap and terminfo format while still allowing commas to be
+ embedded in the description.
+ + correct variable name in gen_edit.sh which broke configurability of
+ the --with-xterm-kbs option.
+ + revert 2011-07-16 change to "linux" alias, return to "linux2.2" -TD
+ + further amend 20110910 change, providing for configure-script
+ override of the "linux" terminfo entry to install and changing the
+ default for that to "linux2.2" (Debian #665959).
+
+20120331
+ + update Ada95/configure to use CF_DISABLE_ECHO (cf: 20120317).
+ + correct order of use-clauses in st-256color -TD
+ + modify configure script to look for gnatgcc if the Ada95 binding
+ is built, in preference to the default gcc/cc (suggested by
+ Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ + modify configure script to ensure that the same -On option used for
+ the C compiler in CFLAGS is used for ADAFLAGS rather than simply
+ using "-O3" (suggested by Nicolas Boulenguez)
+
+20120324
+ + amend an old fix so that next_char() exits properly for empty files,
+ e.g., from reading /dev/null (cf: 20080804).
+ + modify tic so that it can read from the standard input, or from
+ a character device. Because tic uses seek's, this requires writing
+ the data to a temporary file first (prompted by remark by Sven
+ Joachim) (cf: 20000923).
+
+20120317
+ + correct a check made in lib_napms.c, so that terminfo applications
+ can again use napms() (cf: 20110604).
+ + add a note in tic.h regarding required casts for ABSENT_BOOLEAN
+ (cf: 20040327).
+ + correct scripting for --disable-echo option in test/configure.
+ + amend check for missing c++ compiler to work when no error is
+ reported, and no variables set (cf: 20021206).
+ + add/use configure macro CF_DISABLE_ECHO.
+
+20120310
+ + fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits.
+ + use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303).
+ + improve a limit-check in infocmp.c (Werner Fink):
+
20120303
+ minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation
regarding mapping of \0 to \200
+ modify configure script to provide value for HTML_DIR in
Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, which depends on whether the Ada95 binding is
distributed separately (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
- + modify configure script to add -g and/or -O3 to ADAFLAGS if the
+ + modify configure script to add "-g" and/or "-O3" to ADAFLAGS if the
CFLAGS for the build has these options.
+ amend change from 20070324, to not add 1 to the result of getmaxx
and getmaxy in the Ada binding (report by Nicolas Boulenguez for
handling in lynx (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
990306 pre-release
- + add -G option to tic and infocmp, to reverse the -g option.
+ + add -G option to tic and infocmp, to reverse the "-g" option.
+ recode functions in name_match.c to avoid use of strncpy, which
caused a 4-fold slowdown in tic (cf: 980530).
+ correct a few warnings about sign-extension in recent changes.
since that is a little more efficient.
+ minor correction to infocmp to avoid displaying "difference" between
two capabilities that are rendered in equivalent forms.
- + add -g option to tic/infocmp to force character constants to be
+ + add "-g" option to tic/infocmp to force character constants to be
displayed in quoted form. Otherwise their decimal values are shown.
+ modify setupterm so that cancelled strings are treated the same as
absent strings, cancelled and absent booleans false (does not affect
960810 - snapshot
+ correct nl()/nonl() to work as per SVr4 & XSI.
+ minor fixes to ncurses.c (use 'noraw()', mvscanw return-code)
- + refine configure-test for -g option (Tim Mooney).
+ + refine configure-test for "-g" option (Tim Mooney).
+ correct interaction between O_BLANK and NEW_LINE request in form
library (Juergen Pfeifer)
+ enhancement to the control over the new PC-style soft key format.
allow caller now to select whether or not one wants to have
the index-line; see curs_slk.3x for documentation (Juergen Pfeifer).
- + typos, don't use inline with -g (Philippe De Muyter)
+ + typos, don't use inline with "-g" (Philippe De Muyter)
+ fixes for menus & wattr-, slk-functions (Juergen Pfeifer)
