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.
+20140215
+ + in-progress changes to win_driver.c to implement output without
+ allocating a console-buffer. This uses a pre-existing environment
+ variable NCGDB used by Juergen Pfeifer for debugging (prompted by
+ discussion with Erwin Waterlander regarding Console2, which hangs
+ when reading in an allocated console-buffer).
+ + add -t option to gdc.c, and modify to accept "S" to step through the
+ scrolling-stages.
+ + regenerate NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the broken
+ html emitted by docbook.
+
+20140209
+ + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to omit followup check to determine if
+ _XOPEN_SOURCE can/should be defined. g++ 4.7.2 built on Solaris 10
+ has some header breakage due to its own predefinition of this symbol
+ (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15796).
+
+20140201
+ + add/use symbol NCURSES_PAIRS_T like NCURSES_COLOR_T, to illustrate
+ which "short" types are for color pairs and which are color values.
+ + fix build for s390x, by correcting field bit offsets in generated
+ representation clauses when int=32 long=64 and endian=big, or at
+ least on s390x (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ + minor cleanup change to test/form_driver_w.c (patch by Gaute Hope).
+
+20140125
+ + remove unnecessary ifdef's in Ada95/gen/gen.c, which reportedly do
+ not work as is with gcc 4.8 due to fixes using chtype cast made for
+ new compiler warnings by gcc 4.8 in 20130824 (Debian #735753, patch
+ by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+
+20140118
+ + apply includesubdir variable which was introduced in 20130805 to
+ gen-pkgconfig.in (Debian #735782).
+
20131221
+ further improved man2html, used this to fix broken links in html
manpages. See
