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.
+20070210
+ + add test/inchs.c, test_inch_wide.c, to test win_wchnstr().
+ + remove libdl from library list for termlib (report by Miroslav
+ Lichvar).
+ + fix configure.in to allow --without-progs --with-termlib (patch by
+ Miroslav Lichvar).
+ + modify win_wchnstr() to ensure that only a base cell is returned
+ for each multi-column character (prompted by report by Wei Kong
+ regarding change in mvwin_wch() cf: 20041023).
+
+20070203
+ + modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
+ from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
+ Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
+ associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
+ Ricardo Cantu).
+ + improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
+ + ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
+ + add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
+ to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
+ + drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
+ no longer relies on it.
+ + disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
+ --enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
+ + remove tack from ncurses tree.
+
+20070128
+ + fix typo in configure script that broke --with-termlib option
+ (report by Rong-En Fan).
+
+20070127
+ + improve fix for FreeBSD gnu/98975, to allow for null pointer passed
+ to tgetent() (report by Rong-en Fan).
+ + update tack/HISTORY and tack/README to tell how to build it after
+ it is removed from the ncurses tree.
+ + fix configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
+ (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
+ + review/eliminate other original-file artifacts in cursesw.cc, making
+ its license consistent with ncurses.
+ + use ncurses vw_scanw() rather than reading into a fixed buffer in
+ the c++ binding for scanw() methods.
+ + eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding.
+
+20070120
+ + add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from
+ term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency.
+ + fix test/mk-test.awk to ignore blank lines.
+ + correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav
+ Lichvar).
+
+20070113
+ + add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the
+ _first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak).
+ + add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the
+ ncurses build-tree.
+ + add --with-ticlib option, to build/install the tic-support functions
+ in a separate library (suggested by Miroslav Lichvar).
+
+20070106
+ + change MKunctrl.awk to reduce relocation table for unctrl.o
+ + change MKkeyname.awk to reduce relocation table for keyname.o
+ (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
+
+20061230
+ + modify configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
+ (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
+ + modify some modules to allow them to be reentrant if _REENTRANT is
+ defined: lib_baudrate.c, resizeterm.c (local data only)
+ + eliminate static data from some modules: add_tries.c, hardscroll.c,
+ lib_ttyflags.c, lib_twait.c
+ + improve manpage install to add aliases for the transformed program
+ names, e.g., from --program-prefix.
+ + used linklint to verify links in the HTML documentation, made fixes
+ to manpages as needed.
+ + fix a typo in curs_mouse.3x (report by William McBrine).
+ + fix install-rule for ncurses5-config to make the bin-directory.
+
+20061223
+ + modify configure script to omit the tic (terminfo compiler) support
+ from ncurses library if --without-progs option is given.
+ + modify install rule for ncurses5-config to do this via "install.libs"
+ + modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath.
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+
20061217 5.6 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
-20061217
+20061217
+ add ifdef's for <wctype.h> for HPUX, which has the corresponding
definitions in <wchar.h>.
+ revert the va_copy() change from 20061202, since it was neither
20000923
+ modify rs2 capability in xterm-r6 and similar where cursor
- save/restore bracketed the sequence for resetting video attributes.
+ save/restore bracketed the sequence for resetting video attributes.
The cursor restore would undo that (report by John Hawkinson
<jhawk@MIT.EDU> (see NetBSD misc/11052)).
+ using parameter check added to tic, corrected 27 typos in
