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.
+20130805
+ + minor fixes to the --disable-overwrite logic, to ensure that the
+ configured $(includedir) is not cancelled by the mingwxx-filesystem
+ rpm macros.
+ + add --disable-db-install configure option, to simplify building
+ cross-compile support packages.
+ + add mingw-ncurses.spec file, for testing cross-compiles.
+
+20130727
+ + improve configure macros from ongoing work on cdk, dialog, xterm:
+ + CF_ADD_LIB_AFTER - fix a problem with -Wl options
+ + CF_RPATH_HACK - add missing result-message
+ + CF_SHARED_OPTS - modify to use $rel_builddir in cygwin and mingw
+ dll symbols (which can be overridden) rather than explicit "../".
+ + CF_SHARED_OPTS - modify NetBSD and DragonFly symbols to use ${CC}
+ rather than ${LD} to improve rpath support.
+ + CF_SHARED_OPTS - add a symbol to denote the temporary files that
+ are created by the macro, to simplify clean-rules.
+ + CF_X_ATHENA - trim extra libraries to work with -Wl,--as-needed
+ + fix a regression in hashed-database support for NetBSD, which uses
+ the key-size differently from other implementations (cf: 20121229).
+
+20130720
+ + further improvements for setupterm manpage, clarifying the
+ initialization of cur_term.
+
+20130713
+ + improve manpages for initscr and setupterm.
+ + minor compiler-warning fixes
+
+20130706
+ + add fallback defs for <inttypes.h> and <stdint.h> (cf: 20120225).
+ + add check for size of wchar_t, use that to suppress a chunk of
+ wcwidth.h in MinGW port.
+ + quiet linker warnings for MinGW cross-compile with dll's using the
+ --enable-auto-import flag.
+ + add ncurses.map rule to ncurses/Makefile to help diagnose symbol
+ table issues.
+
+20130622
+ + modify the clear program to take into account the E3 extended
+ capability to clear the terminal's scrollback buffer (patch by
+ Miroslav Lichvar, Redhat #815790).
+ + clarify in resizeterm manpage that LINES and COLS are updated.
+ + updated ansi example in terminfo.tail, correct misordered example
+ of sgr.
+ + fix other doclifter warnings for manpages
+ + remove unnecessary ".ta" in terminfo.tail, add missing ".fi"
+ (patch by Eric Raymond).
+
+20130615
+ + minor changes to some configure macros to make them more reusable.
+ + fixes for tabs program (prompted by report by Nick Andrik):
+ + corrected logic in command-line parsing of -a and -c predefined
+ tab-lists options.
+ + allow "-0" and "-8" options to be combined with others, e.g.,"-0d".
+ + make warning messages more consistent with the other utilities by
+ not printing the full pathname of the program.
+ + add -V option for consistency with other utilities.
+ + fix off-by-one in columns for tabs program when processing an option
+ such as "-5" (patch by Nick Andrik).
+
20130608
+ add to test/demo_forms.c examples of using the menu-hooks as well
as showing how the menu item user-data can be used to pass a callback
20130209
+ modify test/configure script to make it simpler to override names
of curses-related libraries, to help with linking with pdcurses in
- mingw environment.
+ MinGW environment.
+ if the --with-terminfo-dirs configure option is not used, there is
no corresponding compiled-in value for that. Fill in "no default
value" for that part of the manpage substitution.
