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.
+20121201
+ + also replace MinGW's wctomb(), fixing a problem with setcchar().
+ + modify test/view.c to load UTF-8 when built with MinGW by using
+ regular win32 API because the MinGW functions mblen() and mbtowc()
+ do not work.
+
+20121124
+ + correct order of color initialization versus display in some of the
+ test-programs, e.g., test_addstr.c
+ > fixes based on Coverity report:
+ + delete windows on exit from some of the test-programs.
+
+20121117
+ > fixes based on Coverity report:
+ + add missing braces around FreeAndNull in two places.
+ + various fixes in test/ncurses.c
+ + improve limit-checks in tinfo/make_hash.c, tinfo/read_entry.c
+ + correct malloc size in progs/infocmp.c
+ + guard against negative array indices in test/knight.c
+ + fix off-by-one limit check in test/color_name.h
+ + add null-pointer check in progs/tabs.c, test/bs.c, test/demo_forms.c,
+ test/inchs.c
+ + fix memory-leak in tinfo/lib_setup.c, progs/toe.c,
+ test/clip_printw.c, test/demo_menus.c
+ + delete unused windows in test/chgat.c, test/clip_printw.c,
+ test/insdelln.c, test/newdemo.c on error-return.
+
+20121110
+ + modify configure macro CF_INCLUDE_DIRS to put $CPPFLAGS after the
+ local -I include options in case someone has set conflicting -I
+ options in $CPPFLAGS (prompted by patch for ncurses/Makefile.in by
+ Vassili Courzakis).
+ + modify the ncurses*-config scripts to eliminate relative paths from
+ the RPATH_LIST variable, e.g., "../lib" as used in installing shared
+ libraries or executables.
+
+20121102
+ + realign these related pages:
+ curs_add_wchstr.3x
+ curs_addchstr.3x
+ curs_addstr.3x
+ curs_addwstr.3x
+ and fix a long-ago error in curs_addstr.3x which said that a -1
+ length parameter would only write as much as fit onto one line
+ (report by Reuben Thomas).
+ + remove obsolete fallback _nc_memmove() for memmove()/bcopy().
+ + remove obsolete fallback _nc_strdup() for strdup().
+ + cancel any debug-rpm in package/ncurses.spec
+ + reviewed vte-2012, reverted most of the change since it was incorrect
+ based on testing with tack -TD
+ + un-cancel the initc in vte-256color, since this was implemented
+ starting with version 0.20 in 2009 -TD
+
+20121026
+ + improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
+ #866989).
+ + add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.
+ + updated configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_WITH_PATHLIST. The
+ first corrects pattern used for Mac OS X's customization of gcc.
+
+20121017
+ + fix change to _nc_scroll_optimize(), which incorrectly freed memory
+ (Redhat #866989).
+
20121013
+ add vte-2012, gnome-2012, making these the defaults for vte/gnome
(patch by Christian Persch).
