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.
+20090919
+ + document return code from define_key (report by Mike Gran).
+ + make some symbolic links in the terminfo directory-tree shorter
+ (patch by Daniel Jacobowitz, forwarded by Sven Joachim).).
+ + fix some groff warnings in terminfo.5, etc., from recent Debian
+ changes.
+ + change ncv and op capabilities in sun-color terminfo entry to match
+ Sun's entry for this (report by Laszlo Peter).
+ + improve interix smso terminfo capability by using reverse rather than
+ bold (report by Kristof Zelechovski).
+
+20090912
+ + add some test programs (and make these use the same special keys
+ by sharing linedata.h functions):
+ test/test_addstr.c
+ test/test_addwstr.c
+ test/test_addchstr.c
+ test/test_add_wchstr.c
+ + correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when
+ inserting wide characters, since the wins_wch() function that it used
+ did not update the cursor position (report by Ciprian Craciun).
+
+20090906
+ + fix typo s/is_timeout/is_notimeout/ which made "man is_notimeout" not
+ work.
+ + add null-pointer checks to other opaque-functions.
+ + add is_pad() and is_subwin() functions for opaque access to WINDOW
+ (discussion with Mark Dickinson).
+ + correct merge to lib_newterm.c, which broke when sp-funcs was
+ enabled.
+
+20090905
+ + build-fix for building outside source-tree (report by Sven Joachim).
+ + fix Debian lintian warning for man/tabs.1 by making section number
+ agree with file-suffix (report by Sven Joachim).
+ + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090829
+ + workaround for bug in g++ 4.1-4.4 warnings for wattrset() macro on
+ amd64 (Debian #542031).
+ + fix typo in curs_mouse.3x (Debian #429198).
+
+20090822
+ + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090815
+ + correct use of terminfo capabilities for initializing soft-keys,
+ broken in 20090509 merging.
+ + modify wgetch() to ensure it checks SIGWINCH when it gets an error
+ in non-blocking mode (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
+ + use PATH_SEPARATOR symbol when substituting into run_tic.sh, to
+ help with builds on non-Unix platforms such as OS/2 EMX.
+ + modify scripting for misc/run_tic.sh to test configure script's
+ $cross_compiling variable directly rather than comparing host/build
+ compiler names (prompted by comment in GenToo #249363).
+ + fix configure script option --with-database, which was coded as an
+ enable-type switch.
+ + build-fixes for --srcdir (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
+
+20090808
+ + separate _nc_find_entry() and _nc_find_type_entry() from
+ implementation details of hash function.
+
+20090803
+ + add tabs.1 to man/man_db.renames
+ + modify lib_addch.c to compensate for removal of wide-character test
+ from unctrl() in 20090704 (Debian #539735).
+
+20090801
+ + improve discussion in INSTALL for use of system's tic/infocmp for
+ cross-compiling and building fallbacks.
+ + modify test/demo_termcap.c to correspond better to options in
+ test/demo_terminfo.c
+ + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+ + fix logic for 'V' in test/ncurses.c tests f/F.
+
+20090728
+ + correct logic in tigetnum(), which caused tput program to treat all
+ string capabilities as numeric (report by Rajeev V Pillai,
+ cf: 20090711).
+
+20090725
+ + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090718
+ + fix a null-pointer check in _nc_format_slks() in lib_slk.c, from
+ 20070704 changes.
+ + modify _nc_find_type_entry() to use hashing.
+ + make CCHARW_MAX value configurable, noting that changing this would
+ change the size of cchar_t, and would be ABI-incompatible.
+ + modify test-programs, e.g,. test/view.c, to address subtle
+ differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX getcchar() return
+ values.
+ + modify length returned by getcchar() to count the trailing null
+ which is documented in X/Open (cf: 20020427).
+ + fixes for test programs to build/work on HPUX and AIX, etc.
+
+20090711
+ + improve performance of tigetstr, etc., by using hashing code from tic.
+ + minor fixes for memory-leak checking.
+ + add test/demo_terminfo, for comparison with demo_termcap
+
+20090704
+ + remove wide-character checks from unctrl() (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
+ + revise wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to eliminate dependency on
+ unctrl().
+ + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090627
+ + update llib-lncurses[wt] to use sp-funcs.
+ + various code-fixes to build/work with --disable-macros configure
+ option.
+ + add several new files from Juergen Pfeifer which will be used when
+ integration of "sp-funcs" is complete. This includes a port to
+ MinGW.
+
+20090613
+ + move definition for NCURSES_WRAPPED_VAR back to ncurses_dll.h, to
+ make includes of term.h without curses.h work (report by "Nix").
+ + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090607
+ + fix a regression in lib_tputs.c, from ongoing merges.
+
+20090606
+ + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090530
+ + fix an infinite recursion when adding a legacy-coding 8-bit value
+ using insch() (report by Clemens Ladisch).
+ + free home-terminfo string in del_curterm() (patch by Dan Weber).
+ + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090523
+ + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090516
+ + work around antique BSD game's manipulation of stdscr, etc., versus
+ SCREEN's copy of the pointer (Debian #528411).

+ its result against ERR (adapted from patch by Matt Kraii, Debian
+ #528374).
+
+20090510
+ + continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
