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.
+20070818
+ + add 9term terminal description (request by Juhapekka Tolvanen) -TD
+ + modify comp_hash.c's string output to avoid misinterpreting a null
+ "\0" followed by a digit.
+ + modify MKnames.awk and MKcodes.awk to support big-strings.
+ This only applies to the cases (broken linker, reentrant) where
+ the corresponding arrays are accessed via wrapper functions.
+ + split MKnames.awk into two scripts, eliminating the shell redirection
+ which complicated the make process and also the bogus timestamp file
+ which was introduced to fix "make -j".
+ + add test/test_opaque.c, test/test_arrays.c
+ + add wgetscrreg() and wgetparent() for applications that may need it
+ when NCURSES_OPAQUE is defined (prompted by Bryan Christ).
+
+20070812
+ + amend treatment of infocmp "-r" option to retain the 1023-byte limit
+ unless "-T" is given (cf: 981017).
+ + modify comp_captab.c generation to use big-strings.
+ + make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private accessed via
+ _nc_get_alias_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
+ library.
+ + modify configure script to skip Intel compiler in CF_C_INLINE.
+ + make _nc_info_hash_table and _nc_cap_hash_table private accessed via
+ _nc_get_hash_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
+ library.
+
+20070728
+ + make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private, accessed via
+ _nc_get_alias_table() since they are used only by parse_entry.c
+ + make _nc_key_names private since it is used only by lib_keyname.c
+ + add --disable-big-strings configure option to control whether
+ unctrl.c is generated using the big-string optimization - which may
+ use strings longer than supported by a given compiler.
+ + reduce relocation tables for tic, infocmp by changing type of
+ internal hash tables to short, and make those private symbols.
+ + eliminate large fixed arrays from progs/infocmp.c
+
+20070721
+ + change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line (cf: 970315).
+ + add test/test_get_wstr.c
+ + add test/test_getstr.c
+ + add test/test_inwstr.c
+ + add test/test_instr.c
+
+20070716
+ + restore a call to obtain screen-size in _nc_setupterm(), which
+ is used in tput and other non-screen applications via setupterm()
+ (Debian #433357, reported by Florent Bayle, Christian Ohm,
+ cf: 20070310).
+
+20070714
+ + add test/savescreen.c test-program
+ + add check to trace-file open, if the given name is a directory, add
+ ".log" to the name and try again.
+ + add konsole-256color entry -TD
+ + add extra gcc warning options from xterm.
+ + minor fixes for ncurses/hashmap test-program.
+ + modify configure script to quiet c++ build with libtool when the
+ --disable-echo option is used.
+ + modify configure script to disable ada95 if libtool is selected,
+ writing a warning message (addresses FreeBSD ports/114493).
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20070707
+ + add continuous-move "M" to demo_panels to help test refresh changes.
+ + improve fix for refresh of window on top of multi-column characters,
+ taking into account some split characters on left/right window
+ boundaries.
+
20070630
+ add "widec" row to _tracedump() output to help diagnose remaining
problems with multi-column characters.
