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.
+20120707
+ + add ncurses_mingw.h to installed headers (prompted by patch by
+ Juergen Pfeifer).
+ + clarify return-codes from wgetch() in response to SIGWINCH (prompted
+ by Novell #769788).
+ + modify resizeterm() to always push a KEY_RESIZE onto the fifo, even
+ if screensize is unchanged. Modify _nc_update_screensize() to push a
+ KEY_RESIZE if there was a SIGWINCH, even if it does not call
+ resizeterm(). These changes eliminate the case where a SIGWINCH is
+ received, but ERR returned from wgetch or wgetnstr because the screen
+ dimensions did not change (Novell #769788).
+
+20120630
+ + add --enable-interop to sample package scripts (suggested by Juergen
+ Pfeifer).
+ + update CF_PATH_SYNTAX macro, from mawk changes.
+ + modify mk-0th.awk to allow for generating llib-ltic, etc., though
+ some work is needed on cproto to work with lib_gen.c to update
+ llib-lncurses.
+ + remove redundant getenv() cal in database-iterator leftover from
+ cleanup in 20120622 changes (report by Sven Joachim).
+
+20120622
+ + add -d, -e and -q options to test/demo_terminfo and test/demo_termcap
+ + fix caching of environment variables in database-iterator (patch by
+ Philippe Troin, Redhat #831366).
+
+20120616
+ + add configure check to distinguish clang from gcc to eliminate
+ warnings about unused command-line parameters when compiler warnings
+ are enabled.
+ + improve behavior when updating terminfo entries which are hardlinked
+ by allowing for the possibility that an alias has been repurposed to
+ a new primary name.
+ + fix some strict compiler warnings based on package scripts.
+ + further fixes for configure check for working poll (Debian #676461).
+
+20120608
+ + fix an uninitialized variable in -c/-n logic for infocmp changes
+ (cf: 20120526).
+ + corrected fix for building c++ binding with clang 3.0 (report/patch
+ by Richard Yao, Gentoo #417613, cf: 20110409)
+ + correct configure check for working poll, fixing the case where stdin
+ is redirected, e.g., in rpm/dpkg builds (Debian #676461).
+ + add rpm- and dpkg-scripts, to test those build-environments.
+ The resulting packages are used only for testing.
+
+20120602
+ + add kdch1 aka "Remove" to vt220 and vt220-8 entries -TD
+ + add kdch1, etc., to qvt108 -TD
+ + add dl1/il1 to some entries based on dl/il values -TD
+ + add dl to simpleterm -TD
+ + add consistency-checks in tic for insert-line vs delete-line
+ controls, and insert/delete-char keys
+ + correct no-leaks logic in infocmp when doing comparisons, fixing
+ duplicate free of entries given via the command-line, and freeing
+ entries loaded from the last-but-one of files specified on the
+ command-line.
+ + add kdch1 to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (reported by David Lord,
+ analysis by Martin Husemann).
+ + add cnorm/civis to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (report/analysis by
+ Onno van der Linden).
+
+20120526
+ + extend -c and -n options of infocmp to allow comparing more than two
+ entries.
+ + correct check in infocmp for number of terminal names when more than
+ two are given.
+ + correct typo in curs_threads.3x (report by Yanhui Shen on
+ freebsd-hackers mailing list).
+
+20120512
+ + corrected 'op' for bterm (report by Samuel Thibault) -TD
+ + modify test/background.c to demonstrate a background character
+ holding a colored ACS_HLINE. The behavior differs from SVr4 due to
+ the thick- and double-line extension (cf: 20091003).
+ + modify handling of acs characters in PutAttrChar to avoid mapping an
+ unmapped character to a space with A_ALTCHARSET set.
+ + rewrite vt520 entry based on vt420 -TD
+
20120505
+ remove p6 (bold) from opus3n1+ for consistency -TD
+ remove acs stuff from env230 per clues in Ingres termcap -TD
