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.
+20160611
+ + revise fix for Debian #805618 (report by Vlado Potisk, cf: 20151128).
+ + modify test/ncurses.c a/A screens to make exiting on an escape
+ character depend on the start of keypad and timeout modes, to allow
+ better testing of function-keys.
+ + modify rs1 for xterm-16color, xterm-88color and xterm-256color to
+ reset palette using "oc" string as in linux -TD
+ + use ANSI reply for u8 in xterm-new, to reflect vt220-style responses
+ that could be returned -TD
+ + added a few capabilities fixed in recent vte -TD
+
+20160604
+ + correct logic for -f option in test/demo_terminfo.c
+ + add test/list_keys.c
+
+20160528
+ + further workaround for PIE/PIC breakage which causes gpm to not link.
+ + fix most cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses library.
+
+20160521
+ + improved manual page description of tset/reset versus window-size.
+ + fixes to work with a slightly broken compiler configuration which
+ cannot compile "Hello World!" without adding compiler options
+ (report by Ola x Nilsson):
+ + pass appropriate compiler options to the CF_PROG_CC_C_O macro.
+ + when separating compiler and options in CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS, ensure
+ that all options are split-off into CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS
+ + restore some -I options removed in 20140726 because they appeared
+ to be redundant. In fact, they are needed for a compiler that
+ cannot combine -c and -o options.
+
+20160514
+ + regenerate HTML manpages.
+ + improve manual pages for wgetch and wget_wch to point out that they
+ might return values without names in curses.h (Debian #822426).
+ + make linux3.0 entry the default linux entry (Debian #823658) -TD
+ + modify linux2.6 entry to improve line-drawing so that the linux3.0
+ entry can be used in non-UTF-8 mode -TD
+ + document return value of use_extended_names (report by Mike Gran).
+
+20160507
+ + amend change to _nc_do_color to restore the early return for the
+ special case used in _nc_screen_wrap (report by Dick Streefland,
+ cf: 20151017).
+ + modify test/ncurses.c:
+ + check return-value of putwin
+ + correct ifdef which made the 'g' test's legend not reflect changes
+ to keypad- and scroll-modes.
+ + correct return-value of extended putwin (report by Mike Gran).
+
20160423
+ modify test/ncurses.c 'd' edit-color menu to optionally read xterm
color palette directly from terminal, as well as handling KEY_RESIZE
