+20110813
+ + add substitution for $RPATH_LIST to misc/ncurses-config.in
+ + improve performance of tic with hashed-database by caching the
+ database connection, using atexit() to cleanup.
+ + modify treatment of 2-character aliases at the beginning of termcap
+ entries so they are not counted in use-resolution, since these are
+ guaranteed to be unique. Also ignore these aliases when reporting
+ the primary name of the entry (cf: 20040501)
+ + double-check gn (generic) flag in terminal descriptions to
+ accommodate old/buggy termcap databases which misused that feature.
+ + minor fixes to _nc_tgetent(), ensure buffer is initialized even on
+ error-return.
+
+20110807
+ + improve rpath fix from 20110730 by ensuring that the new $RPATH_LIST
+ variable is defined in the makefiles which use it.
+ + build-fix for DragonFlyBSD's pkgsrc in test/configure script.
+ + build-fixes for NetBSD 5.1 with termcap support enabled.
+ + corrected k9 in dg460-ansi, add other features based on manuals -TD

+ from tic/infocmp.
+ + when writing termcap source, ensure that colons in the description
+ field are translated to a non-delimiter, i.e., "=".

+ use a single line.
+ + add a null-pointer check when handling the $CC variable.
+
+20110730
+ + modify configure script and makefiles in c++ and progs to allow the
+ directory used for rpath option to be overridden, e.g., to work
+ around updates to the variables used by tic during an install.
+ + add -K option to tic/infocmp, to provide stricter BSD-compatibility
+ for termcap output.
+ + add _nc_strict_bsd variable in tic library which controls the
+ "strict" BSD termcap compatibility from 20110723, plus these
+ features:
+ + allow escapes such as "\8" and "\9" when reading termcap
+ + disallow "\a", "\e", "\l", "\s" and "\:" escapes when reading
+ termcap files, passing through "a", "e", etc.
+ + expand "\:" as "\072" on output.
+ + modify _nc_get_token() to reset the token's string value in case
+ there is a string-typed token lacking the "=" marker.
+ + fix a few memory leaks in _nc_tgetent.
+ + fix a few places where reading from a termcap file could refer to
+ freed memory.
+ + add an overflow check when converting terminfo/termcap numeric
+ values, since terminfo stores those in a short, and they must be

+ translating to termcap.
+ + modify _nc_read_termcap_entry(), passing a flag in the case where
+ getcap is used, to reduce interactive warning messages.
+
+20110723
+ + add a check in start_color() to limit color-pairs to 256 when
+ extended colors are not supported (patch by David Benjamin).
+ + modify setcchar to omit no-longer-needed OR'ing of color pair in
+ the SetAttr() macro (patch by David Benjamin).
+ + add kich1 to sun terminfo entry (Yuri Pankov)
+ + use bold rather than reverse for smso in sun-color terminfo entry
+ (Yuri Pankov).
+ + improve generation of termcap using tic/infocmp -C option, e.g.,
+ to correspond with 4.2BSD (prompted by discussion with Yuri Pankov
+ regarding Schilling's test program):
+ + translate %02 and %03 to %2 and %3 respectively.

+ + modify configure checks for AIX to include release 7.x
+ + add loader flags/libraries to libtool options so that dynamic loading
+ works properly, adapted from ncurses-5.7-ldflags-with-libtool.patch
+ at gentoo prefix repository (patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
+
+20110626
+ + move include of nc_termios.h out of term_entry.h, since the latter
+ is installed, e.g., for tack while the former is not (report by
+ Sven Joachim).
+
+20110625
+ + improve cleanup() function in lib_tstp.c, using _exit() rather than
+ exit() and checking for SIGTERM rather than SIGQUIT (prompted by

+ + reduce name pollution from term.h, moving fallback #define's for
+ tcgetattr(), etc., to new private header nc_termios.h (report by

+ + add a few more checks based on ncurses/link_test.
+ + modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle sp-funcs renaming of NCURSES_OUTC type.
+
+20110528
+ + add case to CF_SHARED_OPTS for Interix (patch by Markus Duft).
+ + used ncurses/link_test to check for behavior when the terminal has
+ not been initialized and when an application passes null pointers
+ to the library. Added checks to cover this (prompted by Redhat
+ #707344).
+ + modify MKlib_gen.sh to make its main() function call each function
+ with zero parameters, to help find inconsistent checking for null

+ + modify ncurses/tinfo/access.c to account for Tandem's root uid
+ (report by Joachim Schmitz).
+
+20110430
+ + modify rules in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to ensure that the PIC option
+ is not used when building a static library (report by Nicolas
+ Boulenguez):
+ + Ada95 build-fix for big-endian architectures such as sparc. This
+ undoes one of the fixes from 20110319, which added an "Unused" member
+ to representation clauses, replacing that with pragmas to suppress
+ warnings about unused bits (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez):
+
+20110423
+ + add check in test/configure for use_window, use_screen.
+ + add configure-checks for getopt's variables, which may be declared
+ as different types on some Unix systems.

+ the checks for sigaction and/or termios fail, and if _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+ and _XOPEN_SOURCE are undefined (report by Valentin Ochs).
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20110409

+ + add "--with-curses-colr" and "--with-curses-5lib" options to the
+ test/configure script to address testing with very old machines.

+20110404 5.9 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+
+20110402
+ + various build-fixes for the rpm/dpkg scripts.
+ + add "--enable-rpath-link" option to Ada95/configure, to allow
+ packages to suppress the rpath feature which is normally used for
+ the in-tree build of sample programs.
+ + corrected definition of libdir variable in Ada95/src/Makefile.in,
+ needed for rpm script.
+ + add "--with-shared" option to Ada95/configure script, to allow
+ making the C-language parts of the binding use appropriate compiler
+ options if building a shared library with gnat.
+
+20110329
+ > portability fixes for Ada95 binding:
+ + add configure check to ensure that SIGINT works with gnat. This is
+ needed for the "rain" sample program. If SIGINT does not work, omit
+ that sample program.
+ + correct typo in check of $PKG_CONFIG variable in Ada95/configure
+ + add ncurses_compat.c, to supply functions used in the Ada95 binding
+ which were added in 5.7 and later.
+ + modify sed expression in CF_NCURSES_ADDON to eliminate a dependency
+ upon GNU sed.
+
+20110326
+ + add special check in Ada95/configure script for ncurses6 reentrant
+ code.

+ libraries, i.e., collections of .ali files.
+ + make all dereferences in Ada95 samples explicit.
+ + fix typo in comment in lib_add_wch.c (patch by Petr Pavlu).
+ + add configure check for, ifdef's for math.h which is in a separate
+ package on Solaris and potentially not installed (report by Petr
+ Pavlu).
+ > fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
+ + improve type-checking in Ada95 by eliminating a few warning-suppress
+ pragmas.
+ + suppress unreferenced warnings.
+ + make all dereferences in binding explicit.
+
+20110319
+ + regen Ada html documentation.
+ + change order of -I options from ncurses*-config script when the
+ --disable-overwrite option was used, so that the subdirectory include
+ is listed first.
+ + modify the make-tar.sh scripts to add a MANIFEST and NEWS file.
+ + modify configure script to provide value for HTML_DIR in
+ Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, which depends on whether the Ada95 binding is
+ distributed separately (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ + modify configure script to add -g and/or -O3 to ADAFLAGS if the
+ CFLAGS for the build has these options.
+ + amend change from 20070324, to not add 1 to the result of getmaxx
+ and getmaxy in the Ada binding (report by Nicolas Boulenguez for
+ thread in comp.lang.ada).

+ + add item in Trace_Attribute_Set corresponding to TRACE_ATTRS.
+ + add workaround for binding to set_field_type(), which uses varargs.
+ The original binding from 990220 relied on the prevalent
+ implementation of varargs which did not support or need va_copy().
+ + add dependency on gen/Makefile.in needed for *-panels.ads
+ + add Library_Options to library.gpr
+ + add Languages to library.gpr, for gprbuild
+
