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.
+20100814
+ + document in manpages that "mv" functions first use wmove() to check
+ the window pointer and whether the position lies within the window
+ (suggested by Poul-Henning Kamp).
+ + fixes to curs_color.3x, curs_kernel.3x and wresize.3x manpages (patch
+ by Tim van der Molen).
+ + modify configure script to transform library names for tic- and
+ tinfo-libraries so that those build properly with Mac OS X shared
+ library configuration.
+ + modify configure script to ensure that it removes conftest.dSYM
+ directory leftover on checks with Mac OS X.
+ + modify configure script to cleanup after check for symbolic links.
+
+20100807
+ + correct a typo in mk-1st.awk (patch by Gabriele Balducci)
+ (cf: 20100724)
+ + improve configure checks for location of tic and infocmp programs
+ used for installing database and for generating fallback data,
+ e.g., for cross-compiling.
+ + add Markus Kuhn's wcwidth function for compiling MinGW
+ + add special case to CF_REGEX for cross-compiling to MinGW target.
+
+20100731
+ + modify initialization check for win32con driver to eliminate need for
+ special case for TERM "unknown", using terminal database if available
+ (prompted by discussion with Roumen Petrov).
+ + for MinGW port, ensure that terminal driver is setup if tgetent()
+ is called (patch by Roumen Petrov).
+ + document tabs "-0" and "-8" options in manpage.
+ + fix Debian "lintian" issues with manpages reported in
+ http://lintian.debian.org/full/csmall@debian.org.html#ncurses
+
+20100724
+ + add a check in tic for missing set_tab if clear_all_tabs given.
+ + improve use of symbolic links in makefiles by using "-f" option if
+ it is supported, to eliminate temporary removal of the target
+ (prompted by http://www.t2-project.org/packages/ncurses.html)
+ + minor improvement to test/ncurses.c, reset color pairs in 'd' test
+ after exit from 'm' main-menu command.
+ + improved ncu-indent, from mawk changes, allows more than one of
+ GCC_NORETURN, GCC_PRINTFLIKE and GCC_SCANFLIKE on a single line.
+
+20100717
+ + add hard-reset for rs2 to wsvt25 to help ensure that reset ends
+ the alternate character set (patch by Nicholas Marriott)
+ + remove tar-copy.sh and related configure/Makefile chunks, since the
+ Ada95 binding is now installed using rules in Ada95/src.
+
20100703
+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
+ add/use configure check to turn on project rules for Ada95/src.
+ move leak-checking for comp_captab.c into _nc_leaks_tinfo() since
that module since 20090711 is in libtinfo.
+ add configure option --enable-term-driver, to allow compiling with
- terminal-driver. That is used in mingw port, and (being somewhat
+ terminal-driver. That is used in MinGW port, and (being somewhat
more complicated) is an experimental alternative to the conventional
termlib internals. Currently, it requires the sp-funcs feature to
be enabled.
