+ that empty strings don't return a null result from tparam_internal
+ + add QNX-specific prototype for vsscanf()

+ > patches by Fred Fish <fnf@ninemoons.com>
+ + misc/Makefile.in (install.data): Avoid trying to install the CVS
+ directory.
+ + aclocal.m4 (install.includes): Remove files in the include directory

+ + remove bold/underline from sun console entries since they're not
+ implemented.
+ + correct _tracef calls in _tracedump(), which did not separate format
+ from parameters.
+ + correct getopt string for tic "-o" option, and add it to man-page
+ synopsis (reported by Darren Hiebert <darren@hmi.com>).
+ + correct typo in panel/Makefile.in, reversed if-statement in scrolling
+ optimization (Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ + test for 'remove()', use 'unlink() if not found (patch by Philippe De
+ Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>).
+ > patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ + Improve a feature of the forms driver. For invisible fields
+ (O_VISIBLE off) only the contents but not the attributes are cleared.
+ We now clear both. (Reported by Javier Kohan
+ <jkohan@adan.fceia.unr.edu.ar>)
+ + The man page form_field_opts.3x makes now clear, that invisible
+ fields are also always inactive.
+ + adjust ifdef's to compile the C++ binding with the just released
+ gcc-2.8.0 c++ and the corresponding new C++ libraries.
+
+980110
+ + correct "?" command in ncurses.c; it was performing non-screen writes
+ while the program was in screen mode. (It "worked" in 1.9.9e because
+ that version sets OPOST and OCRNL incorrectly).
+ + return error from functions in lib_kernel, lib_raw and lib_ti if
+ cur_term is null, or if underlying I/O fails.
+ + amend change to tputs() so that it does not return an error if
+ cur_term is null, since some applications depend on being able to use
+ tputs without initializing the terminal (reported by Christian J.
+ Robinson <infynity@cyberhighway.net>).
+
+980103
+ + add a copy of emx.src from J.J.G.Ripoll's OS/2 EMX version of ncurses
+ 1.9.9e, together with fixes/additions for the "ansi" terminal type.
+ + add tic check for save/restore cursor if change_scroll_region is
+ defined (from O'Reilly book).
+ + modify read_termcap.c to handle EMX-style pathnames (reported by
+ J.J.G.Ripoll).
+ + modify lib_raw.c to use EMX's setmode (from J.J.G.Ripoll, who says
+ EMX's curses does this).
+ + modify _nc_tic_expand() to generate \0 rather than \200.
+ + move/revise 'expand()' from dump_entry.c to ncurses library as
+ _nc_tic_expand(), for use by tack.
+ + decode \a as \007 for terminfo, as per XSI.
+ + correct translation of terminfo "^@", to \200, like \0.
+ + modify next_char() to treat <cr><lf> the same as <newline>, for
+ cross-platform compatibility.
+ + use new version of autoconf (971230) to work around limited
+ environment on CLIX, due to the way autoconf builds --help message.
+ > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ + check that the Ada95 binding runs against the correct version of
+ ncurses.
+ + insert constants about the library version into the main spec-file of
+ the Ada95 binding.
+
+971227
+ + modify open/fopen calls to use binary mode, needed for EMX.
+ + modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.10 mods for OS/2
+ EMX from J.J.G.Ripoll.
+ + generated ncurses_cfg.h with patch (971222) to autoconf 2.12 which
+ bypasses limited sed buffer length.
+ > several changes from Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll <worm@arrakis.es>
+ (J.J.G.Ripoll) to support OS/2 EMX:
+ + add a _scrolling flag to SP, to set when we encounter a terminal
+ that simply cannot scroll.
+ + corrected logic in _nc_add_to_try(), by ensuring that strings with
+ embedded \200 characters are matched.
+ + don't assume the host has 'link()' function, for linking terminfo
+ entries.
+
+971220
+ + if there's no ioctl's to support sigwinch handler, disable it.
+ + add configure option --disable-ext-funcs to remove the extended
+ functions from the build.
+ + add configure option --with-termlib to generate the terminfo
+ functions as a separate library.
+ + add 'sources' rule to facilitate cross-compiling.
+ + review/fix order of mostlyclean/clean/distclean rules.
+ + modify install-rule for headers to first remove old header, in
+ case there was a symbolic link that confuses the install script.
+ + corrected substitution for NCURSES_CONST in term.h (cf: 971108)
+ + add null pointer checks in wnoutrefresh(), overlap() (patch by
+ Xiaodan Tang <xtang@qnx.com>)
+ + correct tputs(), which could dereference a null cur_term if invoked
+ before terminal is initialized (patch by Christopher Seawood
+ <cls@seawood.org>)
+ > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ + makes better use of "pragma Inline" in the Ada95 binding
+ + resynchronizes the generated html manpages
+
+971213
+ + additional fixes for man-pages section-references
+ + add (for debugging) a check for ich/ich1 conflict with smir/rmir
+ to tic, etc.
+ + remove hpa/vpa from rxvt terminal description because they are not
+ implemented correctly, added sgr0.
+ + change ncurses 's' to use raw mode, so ^Q works (reported by Rudolf
+ Leitgeb <leitgeb@leland.stanford.edu>)
+
+971206
+ + modify protection when installing libraries to (normally) not
+ executable. HP-UX shared libraries are an exception.
+ + add configure check for 'tack'.
+ + implement script for renaming section-references in man-page install,
+ for Debian configuration.
+ + add validity-check for SP in trace code in baudrate() (reported by
+ Daniel Weaver).
+ > patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov (fixes to match sol25 curses)
+ + modify 'overlay()' so that copy applies target window background to
+ characters.
+ + correct 'mvwin()' so that it does not clear the previous locations.
+ + correct lib_acs.c so that 8-bit character is not sign expanded in
+ case of wide characters in chtype.
+ + correct control-char test in lib_addch.c for use with wide chars
+ + use attribute in the chtype when adding a control character in
+ lib_addch.c control char was added with current attribute
+
+971129
+ + save/restore errno in _tracef() function
+ + change treatment of initialize_color to use a range of 0..1000
+ (recommended by Daniel Weaver).
+ + set umask in mkinstalldirs, fixing problems reported by users who
+ have set root's umask to 077.
+ + correct bug in tic that caused capabilities to be reprinted at the
+ end of output when they had embedded comments.
+ + rewrote wredrawln to correspond to XSI, and split-out since it is
+ not often used (from report by Alexander V. Lukyanov, 970825)
+ + rewrote Dan Nelson's change to make it portable, as well as to
+ correct logic for handling backslashes.
+ + add code to _nc_tgetent() to make it work more like a real tgetent().
+ It removes all empty fields, and removes all but the first in a group
+ of duplicate caps. The code was pulled from the BSD libtermcap code
+ in termcap.c (patch by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>
+ + don't include --enable-widec in the --with-develop configure option,
+ since it is not binary-compatible with 4.1 (noted by Alexander V.
+ Lukyanov)

+ + further improvements of the usage of elaboration pragmas in the Ada95
+ binding
+ + enhanced Ada95 sample to use the user_data mechanism for panels.

+ version.
+ + resync of the html version of the manpages
+
+971122

+ version.
+ + add hds200 description (Walter Skorski)
+ + add EMX 0.9b descriptions
+ + correct rmso/smso capabilities in wy30-mc and wy50-mc (Daniel Weaver)
+ + rename xhpterm back to hpterm.
+ > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ + Improves the usage of elaboration pragmas for the Ada95 binding.
+ + Adds a translation of the test/rain.c into Ada95 to the samples.
+ This has been contributed to the project by Laurent Pautet
+ (pautet@gnat.com)
+
+971115
+ + increase MAX_NAME_SIZE to 512 to handle extremely long alias list
+ in HP-UX terminfo.
+ + correction & simplification of delay computation in tputs, based on
+ comments from Daniel Weaver.
+ + replace test for SCO with more precise header tests.
+ + add configure test for unsigned literals, use in NCURSES_BITS macro.
+ + comment-out the -PIC, etc., flags from c++, progs and test makefiles
+ since they probably are not needed, and are less efficient (noted by.
+ Ju"rgen Fluk)
+ + add -L$(libdir) to loader options, after -L../lib so that loaders
+ that record this information will tend to do the right thing if
+ the programs are moved around after installing them (suggested by.
+ Ju"rgen Fluk).
+ + add -R option to loader options for programs for Solaris if the
+ --enable-rpath option is specified for the libraries.
+
+971112
+ + correct installed filename for shared libraries on *BSD (reported by
+ Ju"rgen Fluk).
+
+971108
+ + cleanup logic for deciding when tputs() should call delay_output(),
+ based on comments from Daniel Weaver.
+ + modified tputs() to avoid use of float.
+ + correct use of trailpad in tputs(), which used the wrong variable
+ in call to delay_output().
+ + correct inverted expression for null-count in delay_output()
+ (analysis by Daniel Weaver).
+ + apply --enable-rpath option to Solaris (requested by Larry Virden).
+ + correct substitution of EXTRA_CFLAGS for gcc 2.6.3
+ + correct check for error-return by _nc_tgetent(), which returns 0
+ for success.
+ + add configure test for BSD 4.4 cgetent() function, modify
+ read_termcap.c to use the host's version of that if found, using the
+ terminal database on FreeBSD (reported by Peter Wemm).
+ + add u8, u9 strings to sun-il description for Daniel Weaver.
+ + use NCURSES_CONST in panel's user-pointer.
+ + modify edit_cfg.sh and MKterm.h.awk.in to substitute NCURSES_CONST
+ so that will work on NeXT.
+ + use _nc_set_screen() rather than assignments to SP to fix port to
+ NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
+
+971101
+ + force mandatory padding in bell and flash_screen, as specified in XSI.
+ + don't allow padding_baud_rate to override mandatory delays (reported
+ by Daniel Weaver).
+ + modify delay_output() to use _nc_timed_wait() if no baudrate has been
+ defined, or if the cur_term pointer is not initialized. XSI treats
+ this as unspecified. (requested by Daniel Weaver).
+ + change getcap-cache ifdef's to eliminate unnecessary chdir/mkdir
+ when that feature is not configured.
+ + remove _nc_err_abort() calls when write_entry.c finds a directory but
+ cannot write to it, e.g., when translating part/all of /etc/termcap
+ (reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>).

+ + minor ifdef fixes to compile with atac and glibc 2.0.5c
+ + add check for -lgen when configuring regexpr.h
+ + modify Solaris shared-library option "-d y" to "-dy" to workaround
+ incompatibility of gcc 2.7.2 vs vendor's tools.
+
+971026
+ + correct ifdef's for struct winsize vs struct ttysize in lib_setup.c
+ to compile on SCO.
+ + remove dangling backslash in panel/Makefile.in
+ + modify MKkeyname.awk to work with SCO's nawk, which dumps core in the
+ length() function.
+ + correct length of allocation in _nc_add_to_try(), to allow for
+ trailing null.
+ + correct logic in _nc_remove_key(), which was discarding too many
+ nodes (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov)
+
+971025
+ + add definition for $(REL_VERSION) to test/Makefile.in, so *BSD
+ shared libraries link properly (see 970524).
+ + modify Linux shared-library generation to include library
+ dependencies (e.g., -lncurses and -lgpm) in the forms, menu and
+ panel libraries (suggested by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ + modify configure script to use config.guess and config.sub rather
+ than uname, which is unreliable on some systems.
+ + updated Makefile.glibc, test-built with glibc 2.0.5c
+ + modify keyname() to return values consistent with SVr4 curses (patch
+ by Ju"rgen Fluk).
+ > changes requested by Daniel Weaver:
+ + modify delay_output() so that it uses the same output function as
+ tputs() if called from that function.
+ + move _baudrate from SCREEN to TERMINAL so that low-level use of
+ tputs works when SP is not set.
+ > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ + factor lib_menu and lib_form into smaller modules
+ + clean up the interface between panel and SCREEN
+ + minor changes to the Ada95 mouse support implemenation
+ + minor bugfix in C++ binding to ripoff windows

+971018
+ + split-out lib_ungetch.c, make runtime link to resizeterm() to
+ decouple those modules from lib_restart.c
+ + add xterm-xf86-v39t description to terminfo.src
+ + reset SP->_endwin in lib_tstp.c cleanup() function after calling
+ endwin() to avoid unnecessary repainting if the application has
+ established an atexit function, etc. Encountered this problem in
+ the c++ demo, whose destructors repaint the screen.
+ + combine _nc_get_screensize() and resizeterm() calls as new function
+ _nc_update_screensize().
+ + minor fixes to allow compile with g++ (suggested by Nelson H. F.
+ Beebe).
+ + implement install-rules for Ada95 makefiles.
+ + use screen_lines or MAXLINES as needed where LINES was coded,
+ as well as screen_columns for COLS, in the ncurses library.
+ > patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ + modify logic for ripped-off lines to handle several SCREENs.
+ > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ + factors lib_slk.c into some smaller modules
+ + factors panel.c into some smaller modules
+ + puts the static information about the current panel stack into the
+ SCREEN structure to allow different panel stacks on different
+ screens.
+ + preliminary fix for an error adjusting LINES to account for
+ ripped-off lines.
+
+971011
+ + move _nc_max_click_interval and other mouse interface items to SCREEN
+ struct so that they are associated with a single terminal, and also
+ save memory when the application does not need a mouse (roughly 3k vs
+ 0.5k on Linux).
+ + modify mouseinterval() so that a negative parameter queries the
+ click-interval without modifying it.
+ + modify ncurses 'i' test to work with ncurses' apparent extension from
+ SVr4, i.e., allows nocbreak+noecho (analysis by Alexander V.
+ Lukyanov).
+ + add configure options --with-ada-includes and --with-ada-objects,
+ to drive Ada95 binding install (not yet implemented).
+ + install C++ binding as -lncurses++ and associated headers with the
+ other ncurses headers.
+ + fix header uninstall if configure --srcdir is used.
+ > minor interface changes (request by Daniel Weaver <danw@znyx.com>,
+ to support 'tack' program):
+ + export functions _nc_trans_string() and _nc_msec_cost().
+ + add variable _nc_nulls_sent, to record the number of padding
+ characters output in delay_output().
+ + move tests for generic_type and hard_copy terminals in setupterm()
+ to the end of that function so that the library will still be
+ initialized, though not generally useful for curses programs.
+ > patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ + modify ClrBottom() to avoid using clr_eos if there is only one line
+ to erase.
+ + typo in configure --help.
+ > patch by J.T.Conklin (with minor resync against Juergen's changes)
+ + split-out lib_flash.c from lib_beep.c
+ + split-out lib_hline.c and lib_vline.c from lib_box.c
+ + split-out lib_wattron.c, lib_wattroff.c from lib_addch.c
+
+971005
+ > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ + correct source/target of c++/edit_cfg.sh
+
+971004
+ + add color, mouse support to kterm terminfo entry.
+ + modify lib_mouse.c to recognize rxvt, kterm, color_xterm also as
+ providing "xterm"-style mouse.
+ + updated rxvt's terminfo description to correspond to 2.21b, with
+ fixes for the acsc (the box1 capability is incorrect, ech1 does not
+ work).
+ + fix logic in parse_entry.c that discarded acsc when 'synthesizing'
+ an entry from equivalents in XENIX or AIX. This lets ncurses handle
+ the distribution copy of rxvt's terminfo.
+ + modify acsc capability for linux and linux-koi8 terminfo descriptions
+ (from Pavel Roskin <pavel@absolute.spb.su>).
+ + corrected definition in curses.h for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I'
+ rather than 'i' (see 970802).
+ + updated terminfo.src with reformatted acsc entries, and repaired the
+ trashed entries with spurious '\' characters that this exposed.
+ + add logic to dump_entry.c to reformat acsc entries into canonical
+ form (sorted, unique mapping).
+ + add configure script to generate c++/etip.h
+ + add configure --with-develop option, to enable by default most of the
+ experimental options (requested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ + rename 'deinstall' to 'uninstall', following GNU convention (suggested
+ by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ > patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ + modify tactics 2 and 5 in onscreen_mvcur(), to allow them on the last
+ line of the screen, since carriage return will not cause a newline.
+ + remove clause from PutCharLR() that would try to use
+ eat_newline_glitch since that apparently does not work on some
+ terminals (e.g., M$ telnet).
+ + correct a limit check in scroll_csr_backward()
+ > patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ + adds dummy implementations of methods above() and below() to the
+ NCursesPanel class.
+ + fixes missing returncode in NCursesWindow::ripoffline()
+ + fixes missing returncode in TestApplication::run() in demo.cc
+ + We should at least give a comment in etip.h why it is currently a
+ problem to install the C++ binding somewhere
+ + makes the WINDOW* argument of wenclose() a const.
+ + modifies several of the routines in lib_adabind.c to use a const
+ WINDOW* argument.
+
+970927
+ + add 'deinstall' rules.
+ + use explicit assignments in configure --without-progs option to
+ work around autoconf bug which doesn't always set $withval.
+ + check for ldconfig, don't try to run it if not found.
+ + implement simple/unoptimized case in lib_doupdate.c to handle
+ display with magic cookie glitch, tested with ncurses.c program.
+ + correct missing _tracef in getmouse(), to balance the returnCode
+ macro.
+ + simplify show_attr() in ncurses.c using termattrs().
+ > patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ + provides missing inlines for mvw[hv]line in cursesw.h of the C++
+ binding
+ + fixes a typo in a comment of frm_driver.c
+ + Enhances Ada95 Makefiles to fulfill the requirement of GNAT-3.10 that
+ generics should be compiled. Proper fixes to the configuration
+ scripts are also provided.
+
+970920
+ + several modifications to the configure script (requested by Ward
+ Horner):
+ + add configure options --without-progs, to suppress the build of the
+ utility programs, e.g., for cross-compiling.
+ + add $(HOSTCCFLAGS) and $(HOSTLDFLAGS) symbols to ncurses
+ Makefile.in, to simplify setup for cross compiling.
+ + add logic in configure script to recognize "--target=vxworks", and
+ generate load/install actions for VxWorks objects.
+ + move typedef for sigaction_t into SigAction.h to work around problem
+ generating lint library.
+ + modify fty_regex.c to reflect renaming of ifdef's for regular
+ expressions.
+ + simplify ifdef in lib_setup.c for TIOCGWINSZ since that symbol may
+ reside in <sys/ioctl.h>.
+ + merge testcurs.c with version from PDCurses 2.3, clarifying some of
+ the more obscure tests, which rely upon color.
+ + use macros getbegyx() and getmaxyx() in newdemo.c and testcurs.c
+ + modify ncurses.c to use getbegyx() and getmaxyx() macros to cover up
+ implementation difference wrt SVr4 curses, allow 's' test to work.
+ + add missing endwin() to testscanw.c program (reported by Fausto
+ Saporito <fausap@itb.it>).
+ + fixes/updates for Makefile.glibc and related files under sysdeps
+ (patch by H.J.Lu).
+ > patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ + add checks for null pointers, especially WINDOW's throughout the
+ ncurses library.
+ + solve a problem with wrong calculation of panel overlapping (reported
+ by Ward Horner):
+ + make sure that a panel's window isn't a pad.
+ + do more error checking in module lib_touch.c
+ + missing files for Ada95 binding from the last patch
+ + synch. of generated html pages (RCS-Id's were wrong in html files)
+ + support for Key_Resize in Ada binding
+ + changed documentation style in ./c++/cursesm.h
+ > patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ + undo attempt to do recursive inlining for PutChar(), noting that it
+ did not improve timing measurably, but inflated the size of
+ lib_doupdate.o
+
+970913
+ + modify rain.c to use color.
+ + correct scroll_csr_backward() to match scroll_csr_forward().
+ + minor adjustment to llib-lncurses, to work with Solaris 2.5.1
+ + minor fixes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure to reflect renaming
+ of configure cache variables in 970906.
+ + correct logic involving changes to O_VISIBLE option in

+ <Tony.Hoffmann@hia.nrc.ca>)
+ + add $(HOSTCC) symbol to ncurses Makefile.in, to simplify setup for

+ + #undef unctrl to avoid symbol conflict in port to RTEMS (reported by
+ Chris Johns <cjohns@plessey.com.au>)
+ > patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ + simplified, made minor corrections to Ada95 binding to form fieldtype.
+ + The C++ binding has been enhanced:
+ + Improve NCursesWindow class: added additional methods to cover
+ more ncurses functionality. Make refresh() and noutrefresh()
+ virtual members to allow different implementation in the
+ NCursesPanel class.
+ + CAUTION: changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of
+ NCursesWindow class.
+ + Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a
+ reimplementation of refresh() in the base class. Added
+ noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel.
+ + Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform
+ functionality.
+ + Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to etip.h
+ + Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration of
+ menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of title lines
+ and Soft-Label-Keys for an application.
+ + Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menu's fieldlist.
+ + Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for menus.
+ + Enhanced demo.
+ + Fixed a bug in form/fld_def.c: take into account that copyarg and
+ freearg for a fieldtype may be NULL, makearg must not be NULL
+ + Fixed a bug in form/fld_type.c: in set_fieldtype_arg() makearg must
+ not be NULL, copyarg and freearg may be NULL.
+ + Fixed a bug in form/frm_def.c: Allow Disconnect_Fields() if it is
+ already disconnected.
+ + Enhance form/frm_driver.c: Allow growth of dynamic fields also on
+ navigation requests.
+ + Fixed a bug in form/fty_enum.c: wrong position of postincrement in
+ case-insensitiva comparision routine.
+ + Enhanced form/lib_adabind.c with function _nc_get_field() to get a
+ forms field by index.
+ + Enhanced menu/m_adabind.c with function _nc_get_item() to get a menus
+ item by index.
+ + Fixed in curses.h.in: make chtype argument for pechochar() constant.
+ Mark wbkgdset() as implemented, remove wbkgdset macro, because it was
+ broken (didn't handle colors correctly).
+ + Enhanced lib_mouse.c: added _nc_has_mouse() function
+ + Added _nc_has_mouse() prototype to curses.priv.h
+ + Modified lib_bkgd.c: hopefully correct implementation of wbkgdset();
+ streamlined implementation of wbkgd()
+ + Modified lib_mvwin.c: Disable move of a pad. Implement (costly)
+ move of subwindows. Fixed update behaviour of movements of regular
+ windows.
+ + Fixed lib_pad.c: make chtype argument of pechochar() const.
+ + Fixed lib_window.c: dupwin() is not(!) in every bit a really clone
+ of the original. Subwindows become regular windows by doing a
+ dupwin().
+ + Improved manpage form_fieldtype.3x
+ > patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ + simplify the PutChar() handling of exit_am_mode, because we already
+ know that auto_right_margin is true.
+ + add a check in PutChar() for ability to insert to the case of
+ shifting character to LR corner.
+ + in terminal initialization by _nc_screen_resume(), make sure that
+ terminal right margin mode is known.
+ + move logic that invokes touchline(), or does the equivalent, into
+ _nc_scroll_window().
+ + modify scrolling logic use of insert/delete line capability, assuming
+ that they affect the screen contents only within the current
+ scrolling region.
+ + modify rain.c to demonstrate SIGWINCH handler.
+ + remove logic from getch() that would return an ERR if the application
+ called getch() when the cursor was at the lower-right corner of the
+ physical screen, and the terminal does not have insert-character
+ ability.
+ + change view.c so that it breaks out of getch() loop if a KEY_RESIZE
+ is read, and modify logic in getch() so this fix will yield the
+ desired behavior, i.e., the screen is repainted automatically when
+ the terminal window is resized.
+
+970906
+ + add configure option --enable-sigwinch
+ + modify view.c to test KEY_RESIZE logic, with "-r" option.
+ + modify testcurs.c to eliminate misleading display wrt cursor type
+ by testing if the terminal supports cnorm, civis, cvvis.
+ + several fixes for m68k/NeXT 4.0, to bring cur_term, _nc_curr_line and
+ _nc_curr_col variables into linked programs: move these variables,
+ making new modules lib_cur_term and trace_buf (reported by Francisco
+ Alberto Tomei Torres <fatomei@sandburg.unm.edu>).
+ > patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ + add pseudo-functionkey KEY_RESIZE which is returned by getch() when
+ the SIGWINCH handler has been called since the last call to
+ doupdate().
+ + modify lib_twait.c to hide EINTR only if HIDE_EINTR is defined.
+ + add SIGWINCH handler to ncurses library which is used if there is no
+ application SIGWINCH handler in effect when the screen is
+ initialized.
+ + make linked list of all SCREEN structures.
+ + move curses.h include before definition of SCREEN to use types in
+ that structure.
+ + correction to ensure that wgetstr uses only a newline to force a
+ scroll (970831).
+
+970831
+ + add experimental configure option --enable-safe-sprintf; the normal
+ mode now allocates a buffer as large as the screen for the
+ lib_printw.c functions.
+ + modify wgetch to refresh screen when reading ungetch'd characters,
+ since the application may require this - SVr4 does this.
+ + refine treatment of newline in wgetstr to echo only when this would
+ force the screen to scroll.
+
+970830
+ + remove override in wgetstr() that forces keypad(), since SVr4 does
+ not do this.
+ + correct y-reference for erasure in wgetstr() when a wrap forces a
+ scroll.
+ + correct x-position in waddch() after a wrap forces a scroll.
+ + echo newline in wgetstr(), making testscanw.c scroll properly when
+ scanw is done.
+ + modify vwscanw() to avoid potential buffer overflow.
+ + rewrote lib_printw.c to eliminate fixed-buffer limits.
+ > patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ + correct an error in handling cooked mode in wgetch(); processing
+ was in the wrong order.
+ + simplified logic in wgetch() that handles backspace, etc., by using
+ wechochar().
+ + correct wechochar() so that it interprets the output character as
+ in waddch().
+ + modify pechochar() to use prefresh() rather than doupdate(), since
+ the latter does not guarantee immediate refresh of the pad.
+ + modify pechochar() so that if called with a non-pad WINDOW, will
+ invoke wechochar() instead.
+ + modify fifo indices to allow fifo to be longer than 127 bytes.
+
+970823
+ + add xterm-8bit to terminfo.src
+ + moved logic for SP->_fifohold inside check_pending() to make it
+ work properly when we add calls to that function.
+ + ensure that bool functions return only TRUE or FALSE, and TRUE/FALSE
+ are assigned to bool values (patch by H.J.Lu).
+ > patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ + several fixes to getch:
+ 1. Separate cooked and raw keys in fifo
+ 2. Fix the case of ungetch'ed KEY_MOUSE
+ 3. wrap the code for hiding EINTR with ifdef HIDE_EINTR
+ 4. correctly handle input errors (i.e., EINTR) without loss of raw
+ keys
+ 5. recognize ESC KEY_LEFT and similar
+ 6. correctly handle the case of receiption of KEY_MOUSE from gpm
+ + correct off-by-one indexing error in _nc_mouse_parse(), that caused
+ single mouse events (press/release) to be ignored in favor of
+ composed events (click). Improves on a fix from integrating gpm
+ support in 961229.
+ + add another call to check_pending, before scrolling, for
+ line-breakout optimization
+ + improve hashmap.c by
+ 1. fixed loop condition in grow_hunks()
+ 2. not marking lines with offset 0
+ 3. fixed condition of 'too far' criteria, thus one-line hunks are
+ ignored and two lines interchanged won't pass.
+ + rewrote/simplified _nc_scroll_optimize() by separating into two
+ passes, forward/backward, looking for chunks moving only in the given
+ direction.
+ + move logic that emits sgr0 when initializing the screen to
+ _nc_screen_init(), now invoked from newterm.
+ + move cursor-movement cleanup from endwin() into _nc_mvcur_wrap()
+ function and screen cleanup (i.e., color) into _nc_screen_wrap()
+ function.
+ + add new functions _nc_screen_init(), _nc_screen_resume() and
+ _nc_screen_wrap().
+ + rename _nc_mvcur_scrolln() to _nc_scrolln().
+ + add a copy of acs_map[] to the SCREEN structure, where it can be
+ stored/retrieved via set_term().
+ + move variables _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok, _nc_windows into the SCREEN
+ structure.
+
+970816
+ + implement experimental _nc_perform_scroll().
+ + modify newterm (actually _nc_setupscreen()) to emit an sgr0 when
+ initializing the screen, as does SVr4 (reported by Alexander V.
+ Lukyanov).
+ + added test_progs rule to ncurses/Makefile.
+ + modify test/configure.in to check if initscr is already in $LIBS
+ before looking for (n)curses library.
+ + correct version-number in configure script for OSF1 shared-library
+ options (patch by Tim Mooney).
+ + add -DNDEBUG to CPPFLAGS for --enable-assertions (as Juergen
+ originally patched) since the c++ demo files do not necessarily
+ include ncurses_cfg.h
+ + supply default value for --enable-assertions option in configure
+ script (reported by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu>).
+ > patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ + correct/simplify logic of werase(), wclrtoeol() and wclrbot(). See
+ example firstlast.c
+ + optimize waddch_literal() and waddch_nosync() by factoring out
+ common subexpressions.
+ + correct sense of NDEBUG ifdef for CHECK_POSITION macro.
+ + corrections to render_char(), to make handling of colored blanks
+ match SVr4 curses, as well as to correct a bug that xor'd space
+ against the background character.
+ + replaced hash function with a faster one (timed it)
+ + rewrote the hashmap algorithm to be one-pass, this avoids multiple
+ cost_effective() calls on the same lines.
+ + modified cost_effective() so it is now slightly more precise.
+ > patches by H.J.Lu for glibc integration:
+ + add modules define_key, keyok, name_match, tries
+ + add makefile rules for some of the unit tests in ncurses (mvcur,
+ captoinfo, hardscroll, hashmap).
+ + update Linux configure-script for wide-character definitions.
+
+970809
+ + modify _tracebits() to show the character size (e.g., CS8).
+ + modify tparm() to emit '\200' where the generated string would have a
+ null (reported by From: Ian Dall <Ian.Dall@dsto.defence.gov.au> for
+ terminal type ncr7900).
+ + modify install process so that ldconfig is not invoked if the
+ package is built with an install-prefix.
+ + correct test program for chtype size (reported by Tim Mooney).
+ + add configure option --disable-scroll-hints, using this to ifdef the
+ logic that computes indices for _nc_scroll_optimize().
+ + add module ncurses/softscroll.c, to perform single-stage computation
+ of scroll indices used in _nc_scroll_optimize(). This is faster than
+ the existing scrolling algorithm, but tends to make too-small hunks.
+ + eliminate fixed buffer size in _nc_linedump().
+ + minor fixes to lib_doupdate.c to add tradeoff between clr_eol (el)
+ and clr_bol (el1), refine logic in ClrUpdate() and ClrBottom() (patch
+ by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ + add test/testaddch.c, from a pending patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov.
+ + correct processing of "configure --enable-assertions" option (patch
+ by Juergen Pfeifer).
+
+970802
+ + add '-s' (single-step) option too test/hashtest.c, correct an error
+ in loop limit for '-f' (footer option), toggle scrollok() when
+ writing footer to avoid wrap at lower-right corner.
+ + correct behavior of clrtoeol() immediately after wrapping cursor,
+ which was not clearing the line at the cursor position (reported by
+ Liviu Daia <daia@stoilow.imar.ro>).
+ + corrected mapping for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I' rather than 'i'
+ (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@tezcat.com>).
+ + many corrections to make progs/capconvert work, as well as make it
+ reasonably portable and integrated with ncurses 4.1 (reported by Dave
+ Furstenau <df@ravine.binary.net>).
+
+970726
+ + add flag SP->_fifohold, corresponding logic to modify the behavior of
+ the line breakout logic so that if the application does not read
+ input, refreshes will not be stopped, but only slowed.
+ + generate slk_attr_off(), slk_attr_on(), slk_attr_set(), vid_attr(),
+ ifdef'd for wide-character support, since ncurses' WA_xxx attribute
+ masks are identical with the A_xxx masks.
+ + modify MKlib_gen.sh to generate ifdef'd functions to support optional
+ configuration of wide-characters.
+ + modify tset to behave more like SVr4's tset, which does not modify
+ the settings of intr, quit or erase unless they are given as command
+ options (reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>).
+ + modify tset to look in /etc/ttys or /etc/ttytype if the configuration
+ does not have getttynam().
+ + extend baudrate table in tset.c to match baudrate() function.
+ + add table entries for 230400 and 460800 bd to baudrate() function.
+ + improve breakout logic by allowing it before the first line updated,
+ which is what SVr4 curses does (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ + correct initialization of vcost in relative_move(), for cursor-down
+ case (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ > nits gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-3:
+ + install symbolic link for intotocap.
+ + reference libc directly when making shared libraries.
+ + correct renaming of curs_scr_dmp.3x in man_db.renames.
+ + guard tgetflag() and other termcap functions against null cur_term
+ pointer.
+
+970719
+ + corrected initial state of software echo (error in 970405, reported
+ by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ + reviewed/added messages to configure script, so that all non-test
+ options should be accompanied by a message.
+ + add configure check for long filenames, using this to determine if
+ it is safe to allow long aliases for terminal descriptions as does
+ SVr4.
+ + add configure options for widec (wide character), hashmap (both
+ experimental).
+ > patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
+ + hashmap.c - improved by heuristic, so that scroll test works much
+ better when csr is not available.
+ + hardscroll.c - patched so that it continues to scroll other chunks
+ after failure to scroll one.
+ + lib_doupdate.c - _nc_mvcur_scrolln extended to handle more cases; csr
+ is avoided as it is relative costly. Fixed wrong coordinates in one
+ case and wrong string in TRACE.
+ > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ + modify C++ binding to compile on AIX 4.x with the IBM C-SET++
+ compiler.
+
+970712
+ + remove alternate character set from kterm terminfo entry; it uses the
+ shift-out control for a purpose incompatible with curses, i.e., font
+ switching.
+ + disentangle 'xterm' terminfo entry from some derived entries that
+ should be based on xterm-r6 instead.
+ + add cbt to xterm-xf86-xv32 terminfo entry; I added the emulation for
+ XFree86 3.1.2F, but overlooked its use in terminfo then - T.Dickey.
+ + correct logic in lib_mvcur.c that uses back_tab.
+
+970706
+ + correct change from 970628 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
+ contents of curscr are saved in newscr before clearing the screen.
+ This is needed to make repainting work with the present logic of
+ TransformLine().
+ + use napms() rather than sleep() in tset.c to avoid interrupting I/O.
+
+970705
+ + add limit checks to _nc_read_file_entry() to guard against overflow
+ of buffer when reading incompatible terminfo format, e.g, from OSF/1.
+ + correct some loop-variable errors in xmc support in lib_doupdate.c
+ + modify ncurses 'b' test to add gaps, specified by user, to allow
+ investigation of interaction with xmc (magic cookie) code.
+ + correct typo in 970524 mods to xmas.c, had omitted empty parameter
+ list from has_colors(), which gcc ignores, but SVr4 does not
+ (reported by Larry Virden).
+ + correct rmso capability in wy50-mc description.
+ + add configure option "--enable-hard-tabs", renamed TABS_OK ifdef to
+ USE_HARD_TABS.
+ > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ + Add bindings for keyok() and define_key() to the Ada95 packages.
+ + Improve man pages menu_post.3x and menu_format.3x
+ + Fix the HTML pages in the Ada95/html directory to reflect the above
+ changes.
+
+970628
+ + modify change from 970101 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
+ pending changes to both curscr and newscr are flushed properly.
+ This fixes a case where the first scrolling operation in nvi would
+ cause the screen to be cleared unnecessarily and repainted before
+ doing the indexing, i.e., by repeatedly pressing 'j' (reported by
+ Juergen Pfeifer).
+ + correct error in trans_string() which added embedded newlines in a
+ terminfo description to the stored strings.
+ + remove spurious newlines from sgr in wyse50 (and several other)
+ terminfo descriptions.
+ + add configure option for experimental xmc (magic cookie) code,
+ "--enable-xmc-glitch". When disabled (the default), attributes that
+ would store a magic cookie are suppressed in vidputs(). The magic
+ cookie code is far from workable at this stage; the configuration
+ option is a stopgap.
+ + move _nc_initscr() from lib_initscr.c to lib_newterm.c
+ + correct path for invoking make_keys (a missing "./").
+
+970621
+ + correct sign-extension problem with "infocmp -e", which corrupted
+ acsc values computed for linux fallback data.
+ + correct dependency on ncurses/names.c (a missing "./").
+ + modify configure script to use '&&' even for cd'ing to existing
+ directories to work around broken shell interpreters.
+ + correct a loop-limit in _nc_hash_map() (patch by Alexander V.
+ Lukyanov).
+
+970615
+ + restore logic in _nc_scroll_optimize() which marks as touched the
+ lines in curscr that are shifted.
+ + add new utility 'make_keys' to compute keys.tries as a table rather
+ than a series of function calls.
+ + correct include-dependency for tic.h used by name_match
+ + removed buffer-allocation for name and description from m_item_new.c,
+ since this might result in incompatibilities with SVr4. Also fixed
+ the corresponding Ada95 binding module (patch by Juergen Pfeifer,
+ from report by Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@foxnet.net>)
+ + removed the mechanism to timestamp the generated Ada95 sources. This
+ resulted always in generating patches for the HTML doc, even when
+ nothing really changed (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ + improve man page mitem_new.3x (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+
+970614
+ + remove ech capability from rxvt description because it does not work.
+ + add missing case logic for infocmp -I option (reported by Lorenzo M.
+ Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>)
+ + correct old bug in pnoutrefresh() unmasked by fix in 970531; this
+ caused glitches in the ncurses 'p' test since the area outside the
+ pad was not compared when setting up indices for _nc_scroll_optimize.
+ + rewrote tracebits() to workaround misdefinition of TOSTOP on Ultrix
+ 4.4, as well as to eliminate fixed-size buffer (reported by Chris
+ Tanner <tannerc@aecl.ca>)
+ + correct prototype for termattrs() as per XPG4 version 2.
+ + add placeholder prototypes for color_set(), erasewchar(),
+ term_attrs(), wcolor_set() as per XPG4 version 2.
+ + correct attribution for progs/progs.priv.h and lib_twait.c
+ + improve line-breakout logic by checking based on changed lines rather
+ than total lines (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ + correct loop limits for table-lookup of enumerated value in form
+ (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ + improve threshhold computation for determining when to call ClrToEOL
+ (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+
+970531
+ + add configure option --disable-database to force the library to
+ use only the fallback data.
+ + add configure option --with-fallbacks, to specify list of fallback
+ terminal descriptions.
+ + add a symbolic link for ncurses.h during install; too many programs
+ still assume there's an ncurses.h
+ + add new terminfo.src entry for xterm-xf86-v33.
+ + restore terminfo.src entry for emu to using setf/setb, since it is
+ not, after all, generating ANSI sequences. Corrected missing comma
+ that caused setf/setb entries to merge.
+ + modify mousemask() to use keyok() to enable/disable KEY_MOUSE, so
+ that applications can disable ncurses' mouse and supply their own
+ handler.
+ + add extensions keyok() and define_key(). These are designed to allow
+ the user's application better control over the use of function keys,
+ e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE. (The define_key idea was from
+ a mailing-list thread started by kjahds@kjahds.com Nov'1995).
+ + restore original behavior in ncurses 'g' test, i.e., explicitly
+ set the keypad mode rather than use the default, since it confuses
+ people.
+ + rewrote the newdemo banner so it's readable (reported by Hugh Daniel).
+ + tidy up exit from hashtest (reported by Hugh Daniel).
+ + restore check for ^Q in ncurses 'g' test broken in 970510 (reported
+ by Hugh Daniel)
+ + correct tput program, checking return-value of setupterm (patch by
+ Florian La Roche).
+ + correct logic in pnoutrefresh() and pechochar() functions (reported
+ by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf.usc.edu>). The computation
+ of 'wide' date to eric's #283 (1.9.9), and the pechochar bug to the
+ original implementation (1.9.6).
+ + correct typo in vt102-w terminfo.src entry (patch by Robert Wuest
+ <rwuest@sire.vt.com>)
+ + move calls of _nc_background() out of various loops, as its return
+ value will be the same for the whole window being operated on (patch
+ by J.T.Conklin).
+ + add macros getcur[xy] getbeg[xy] getpar[xy], which are defined in
+ SVr4 headers (patch by J.T.Conklin <jtc@NetBSD.ORG>)
+ + modify glibc addon-configure scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
+ + correct a bug in hashmap.c: the size used for clearing the hashmap
+ table was incorrect, causing stack corruption for large values of
+ LINES, e.g., >MAXLINES/2 (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ + eric's terminfo 9.13.23 & 9.13.24 changes: replaced minitel-2 entry,
+ added MGR, ansi-nt (note: the changes described for 9.13.24 have not
+ been applied).
+ > several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ + correct a missing error-return in form_driver.c when wrapping of a
+ field is not possible.
+ + correct logic in form_driver.c for configurations that do not have
+ memccpy() (reported by Sidik Isani <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
+ + change several c++ binding functions to inline.
+ + modify c++ menu binding to inherit from panels, for proper
+ initialization.
+ + correct freeing of menu items in c++ binding.
+ + modify c++ binding to reflect removal of const from user data pointer
+ in forms/menus libraries.
+
+970524
+ + add description of xterm-16color.
+ + modify name of shared-library on *BSD to end with $(REL_VERSION)
+ rather than $(ABI_VERSION) to match actual convention on FreeBSD
+ (cf: 960713).
+ + add OpenBSD to shared-library case, same as NetBSD and FreeBSD
+ (reported by Hugh Daniel <hugh@rat.toad.com>).
+ + corrected include-dependency in menu/Makefile so that "make install"
+ works properly w/o first doing "make".
+ + add fallback definition for isascii, used in infocmp.
+ + modify xmas to use color, and to exit right away when a key is
+ pressed.
+ + modify gdc so that the scrolled digits function as described (there
+ was no time delay between the stages, and the digits overwrote the
+ bounding box without tidying up).
+ + modify lib_color.c to use setaf/setab only for the ANSI color codes
+ 0 through 7. Using 16 colors requires setf/setb.
+ + modify ncurses 'c' test to work with 16 colors, as well as the normal
+ 8 colors.
+ + remove const qualifier from user data pointer in forms and menus
+ libraries (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ + rewrote 'waddchnstr()' to avoid using the _nc_waddch_nosync()
+ function, thereby not interpreting tabs, etc., as per spec (patch by
+ Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+
+970517
+ + suppress check for pre-existing ncurses header if the --prefix
+ option is specified.
+ + add configure options "--with-system-type" and "--with-system-release"
+ to assist in checking the generated makefiles.
+ + add configure option "--enable-rpath" to allow installers to specify
+ that programs linked against shared libraries will have their library
+ path embedded, allowing installs into nonstandard locations.
+ + add flags to OSF1 shared-library options to specify version and
+ symbol file (patch by Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>)
+ + add missing definition for ABI_VERSION to c++/Makefile.in (reported
+ by Satoshi Adachi <adachi@wisdom.aa.ap.titech.ac.jp>).
+ + modify link flags to accommodate HP-UX linker which embeds absolute
+ pathnames in executables linked against shared libraries (reported by
+ Jason Evans <jasone@mrc.uidaho.edu>, solved by Alan Shutko
+ <ats@hubert.wustl.edu>).
+ + drop unnecessary check for attribute-change in onscreen_mvcur() since
+ mvcur() is the only caller within the library, and that check in turn
+ is exercised only from lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
+ Lukyanov).
+ + add 'blank' parameter to _nc_scroll_window() so _nc_mvcur_scrolln()
+ can use the background of stdscr as a parameter to that function
+ (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ + moved _nc_mvcur_scrolln() from lib_mvcur.c to lib_doupdate.c, to use
+ the latter's internal functions, as well as to eliminate unnecessary
+ cursor save/restore operations (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ + omit parameter of ClrUpdate(), since it is called only for newscr,
+ further optimized/reduced by using ClearScreen() and TransformLine()
+ to get rid of duplicate code (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
+ + modify scrolling algorithm in _nc_scroll_optimize() to reject hunks
+ that are smaller than the distance to be moved (patch by Alexander V.
+ Lukyanov).
+ + correct a place where the panel library was not ifdef'd in ncurses.c
+ (Juergen Pfeifer)

(It also compiles with the Sun SparcWorks compiler, but the demo does
not link, due to a vtbl problem).
+ corrections to demo.cc, to fix out-of-scope variables (Juergen
+ add header dependencies so that "make install.libs" will succeed
even if "make all" is not done first.
+ moved some macros from lib_doupdate.c to curses.priv.h to use in

+ expanded functions with ATAC.
+ correct implementation of lib_instr.c; both XSI and SVr4 agree that
the winnstr functions can return more characters than will fit on one
line.
> contrary to comments, some scrolling cases were tested after the
insert/delete line method.
+ modify _tracedump() to show first/last changes.
- + modify param of ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c to 'curscr', fixes
+ + modify param of ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c to 'newscr', fixes
