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.
+20200822
+ + improve version-number extraction in MKlib_gen.sh
+ + make the test-package for manpages installable by adjusting the
+ man_db.renames file.
+ + correct an off-by-one loop-limit in convert_strings function
+ (report by Yue Tai).
+ + add CF_SHARED_OPTS cases for HPE NonStop systems (Randall S Becker).
+ + modify CF_SHARED_OPTS case for NetBSD to use the same "-shared"
+ option for the non-rpath case as for the rpath case, to allow gcc to
+ provide suitable runtime initialization (report by Rajeev V Pillai).
+
+20200817
+ + reduce build-warnings by excluding ncurses-internals from deprecation
+ warnings.
+ + mark wgetch-events feature as deprecated.
+ + add definition for $(LIBS) to ncurses/Makefile.in, to simplify builds
+ using the string-hacks option.
+ + prevent KEY_EVENT from appearing in curses.h unless the configure
+ option --enable-wgetch-events is used (report by Werner Fink).
+
+20200816
+ + amend tic/infocmp check to allow for the respective tool's absence
+ (report by Steve Wills, cf: 20200808).
+ + improved some of the build-scripts with shellcheck
+ + filter out -MT/-MD/-MTd/-MDd options in script for Visual Studio C++
+ (discussion with "Maarten Anonymous").
+
+20200808
+ + improve discussion of the system's tic utility when used as part
+ of cross-compiling (discussion with Keith Marshall).
+ + modify configuration checks for build-time tic/infocmp to use
+ AC_CHECK_TOOL. That can still be overridden by --with-tic-path and
+ --with-infocmp-path when fallbacks are used, but even if not using
+ fallbacks, the improved check may help with cross-compiling
+ (discussion with Keith Marshall).
+ + other build-fixes for Ada95 with MinGW.
+ + modify Ada95 source-generation utility to write to a file given as
+ parameter rather than to the standard output, allowing builds with
+ MinGW.
+
+20200801
+ + remove remaining parts of checks for ISC Unix (cf: 20121006).
+ + add user32.lib to LDFLAGS for Visual Studio C++ configuration
+ (discussion with "Maarten Anonymous").
+ + modify MKkey_defs.sh to hide ncurses' definition of KEY_EVENTS to
+ reduce Visual Studio C++ redefinition warnings.
+ + improve/update checks for external functions in test/configure
+
+20200725
+ + set LINK_TESTS in CF_SHARED_OPTS for msvc (patch by
+ "Maarten Anonymous")
+ + improved workaround for redefinition-warnings for KEY_EVENT.
+ + improve man/term.5 section on legacy storage format (report by
+ Florian Weimer).
+
+20200718
+ + reduce redefinition-warnings for KEY_EVENT when building with Visual
+ Studio C++.
+ + define NCURSES_STATIC when compiling programs to link with static
+ libraries, to work with MinGW vs Visual Studio C++.
+ > additional changes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2
+ (reports/patches by "Maarten Anonymous")
+ + modify c++/Makefile.in to set the current directory while compiling
+ the main program, so the linker can find related objects.
+ + several changes to allow the c++/demo program to compile/link.
+ + change an ifdef in test-directory, to use VC++ wide-character funcs.
+
20200711
+ fix pound-sign mapping in acsc of linux2.6 entry (report by Ingo
Bruckl).
