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.
+20161224
+ + correct parmeters for copywin call in _nc_Synchronize_Attributes()
+ (patch by Leon Winter).
+ + improve color-handling section in terminfo manual page (prompted by
+ patch by Mihail Konev).
+ + modify programs clear, tput and tset to pass the actual tty file
+ descriptor to setupterm rather than the standard output, making
+ padding work.
+
+20161217
+ + add tput-colorcube demo script.
+ + add -r and -s options to tput-initc demo, to match usage in xterm.
+ + flush the standard output in _nc_flush for the case where SP is zero,
+ e.g., when called via putp. This fixes a scenario where "tput flash"
+ did not work after changes in 20130112.
+
+20161210
+ + add configure script option --disable-wattr-macros for use in cases
+ where one wants to use the same headers for ncurses5/ncurses6
+ development, by suppressing the wattr* macros which differ due to
+ the introduction of extended colors (prompted by comments in
+ Debian #230990, Redhat #1270534).
+ + add test/tput-initc to demonstrate tput used to initialize palette
+ from a data file.
+ + modify test/xterm*.dat to use the newer color4/color12 values.
+
+20161203
+ + improve discussion of field validation in form_driver.3x manual page.
+ + update curs_trace.3x manual page.
+
+20161126
+ + modify linux-16color to not mask dim, standout or reverse with the
+ ncv capability -TD
+ + add 0.1sec mandatory delay to flash capabilities using the VT100
+ reverse-video control -TD
+ + omit selection of ISO-8859-1 for G0 in enacs capability from linux2.6
+ entry, to avoid conflict with the user-defined mapping. The reset
+ feature will use ISO-8859-1 in any case (Mikulas Patocka).
+ + improve check in tic for delays by also warning about beep/flash
+ when a delay is not embedded, or if those use the VT100 reverse
+ video escape without using a delay.
+ + minor fix for syntax-check of delays from 20161119 changes.
+ + modify trace() to avoid overwriting existing file (report by Maor
+ Shwartz).
+
20161119
+ add check in tic for some syntax errors of delays, as well as use of
proportional delays for non-line capabilities.
