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.
+20170114
+ + improve discussion of early history of tset/reset programs.
+ + clarify in manual pages that the optional verbose option level is
+ available only when ncurses is configured for tracing.
+ + amend change from 20161231 to avoid writing traces to the standard
+ error after initializing the trace feature using the environment
+ variable.
+
+20170107
+ + amend changes for tput to reset tty modes to "sane" if the program
+ is run as "reset", like tset. Likewise, ensure that tset sends
+ either reset- or init-strings.
+ + improve manual page descriptions of tput init/reset and tset/reset,
+ to make it easier to see how they are similar and different.
+ + move a static result from key_name() to _nc_globals
+ + modify _nc_get_screensize to allow for use_env() and use_tioctl()
+ state to be per-screen when sp-funcs are configured, better matching
+ the behavior when using the term-driver configuration.
+ + improve cross-references in manual pages for often used functions
+ + move SCREEN field for use_tioctl() data before the ncursesw fields,
+ and limit that to the sp-funcs configuration to improve termlib
+ compatibility (cf: 20120714).
+ + correct order of initialization for traces in use_env() and
+ use_tioctl() versus first trace calls.
+
20161231
+ fix errata for ncurses-howto (report by Damien Ruscoe).
+ fix a few places in configure/build scripts where DESTDIR and rpath
