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.
+20111022
+ + correct logic for discarding mouse events, retaining the partial
+ events used to build up click, double-click, etc, until needed
+ (cf: 20110917).
+ + fix configure script to avoid creating unused Ada95 makefile when
+ gnat does not work.
+ + cleanup width-related gcc 3.4.3 warnings for 64-bit platform, for the
+ internal functions of libncurses. The external interface of courses
+ uses bool, which still produces these warnings.
+
+20111015
+ + improve description of --disable-tic-depends option to make it
+ clear that it may be useful whether or not the --with-termlib
+ option is also given (report by Sven Joachim).
+ + amend termcap equivalent for set_pglen_inch to use the X/Open
+ "YI" rather than the obsolete Solaris 2.5 "sL" (cf: 990109).
+ + improve manpage for tgetent differences from termcap library.
+
+20111008
+ + moved static data from db_iterator.c to lib_data.c
+ + modify db_iterator.c for memory-leak checking, fix one leak.
+ + modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to use Requires.private for the parts
+ of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the
+ other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728).
+
+20111001
+ + modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force
+ source-output. That allows the same flag to control the parser for
+ input and output of termcap source.
+ + modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line,
+ making it consistent with ncurses' parser.
+ + restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap
+ text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924).
+ + modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the
+ conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is
+ normally following in the source file. Also improved the warning
+ message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem.
+ + improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list.
+
+20110925
+ + add a missing "else" in changes to _nc_read_tic_entry().
+
+20110924
+ + modify _nc_read_tic_entry() so that hashed-database is checked before
+ filesystem.
+ + updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
+ + modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
+ TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
+ to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick
+ Alcock aka "Nix").
+ + build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (cf: 20110917).
+
+20110917
+ + fix compiler warning for clang 2.9
+ + improve merging of mouse events (integrated patch by Damien
+ Guibouret).
+ + correct mask-check used in lib_mouse for wheel mouse buttons 4/5
+ (patch by Damien Guibouret).
+
+20110910
+ + modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with
+ the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0"
+ (cf: 20110716).
+ + revert a change to getmouse() which had the undesirable side-effect
+ of suppressing button-release events (report by Damien Guibouret,
+ cf: 20100102).
+ + add xterm+kbs fragment from xterm #272 -TD
+ + add configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir to provide control over
+ the actual directory into which pc-files are installed, do not use
+ the pkg-config environment variables (discussion with Frederic L W
+ Meunier).
+ + add link to mailing-list archive in announce.html.in, as done in
+ FAQ (prompted by question by Andrius Bentkus).
+ + improve manpage install by adjusting the "#include" examples to
+ show the ncurses-subdirectory used when --disable-overwrite option
+ is used.
+ + install an alias for "curses" to the ncurses manpage, tied to the
+ --with-curses-h configure option (suggested by Reuben Thomas).
+
20110903
+ propagate error-returns from wresize, i.e., the internal
increase_size and decrease_size functions through resize_term (report
