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.
+20200111
+ + improve configure macros which check for the X11/Intrinsic.h header,
+ to accommodate recent MacOS changes.
+ + suppress gcc's -Winline warning; it has not been useful for some time
+ + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20200104
+ + modify a couple of macros in aclocal.m4 to allow autoconf 2.69 to
+ "work", to help illustrate discussion in
+ https://invisible-island.net/autoconf/my-autoconf.html
+ + fix some warnings from autoheader-252
+
+20191228
+ + in gen-pkgconfig.in, move the RPATH_LIST and PRIVATE_LIBS assignments
+ past the various prefix/libdir assignments, to allow for using those
+ symbols, e.g., as done via CF_SHARED_OPTS.
+ + improve ncurses*-config and pc-files by filtering out linker-specs.
+ + modify test-package to more closely match Fedora's configuration
+ for PIE/PIC feature and debug-packages.
+
+20191221
+ + correct pathname used in Ada95 sample programs for explain.txt, to
+ work with test-packages.
+ + improve tracemunch:
+ + keep track of TERMINAL* values
+ + if tracing was first turned on after initialization, attempt to
+ show distinct screen, window and terminal names anyway.
+ + ensure that GCC_NORETURN is defined in term.h, because the prototype
+ for exit_terminfo() uses it (report by Werner Fink).
+
+20191214
+ + add exit_curses() and exit_terminfo() to replace internal symbols for
+ leak-checking.
+
+20191207
+ + fix a few warnings for test-package builds
+ + add curses_trace(), to replace trace().
+
+20191130
+ + add portability section to curs_getcchar manpage (prompted by
+ discussion with Nick Black).
+ + improve portability discussion of ACS characters in curs_addch
+ manpage.
+ + improve typography for double-quotes in manpages.
+
+20191123
+ + fix typo for MinGW rpm test-package.
+ + workaround in rpm specs for NFS problems in Fedora 31.
+
+20191116
+ + modify ncurses/Makefile.in to fix a case where Debian/testing changes
+ to the ld --as-needed configuration broke ncurses-examples test
+ packages.
+ + drop library-dependency on psapi for MinGW port, since win_driver.c
+ defines PSAPI_VERSION to 2, making it use GetProcessImageFileName
+ from kernel32.dll (prompted by patch by Simon Sobish, cf: 20140503).
+
+20191109
+ + add warning-check in tic for terminals with parm_dch vs parm_ich.
+ + drop ich1 from rxvt-basic, Eterm and mlterm to improve compatibility
+ with old non-curses programs -TD
+ + reviewed st 0.8.2, updated some details -TD
+ + use ansi+rep several places -TD
+ + corrected tic's check for ich1 (report by Sebastian J. Bronner,
+ cf: 20020901).
+
+20191102
+ + check parameter of set_escdelay, return ERR if negative.
+ + check parameter of set_tabsize, return ERR if not greater than zero
+ (report/patch by Anthony Sottile).
+ + revise CF_ADD_LIBS macro to prepend rather than append libraries.
+ + add "xterm-mono" to help packagers (report by Sven Joachim) -TD
+
20191026
+ add a note in man/curs_add_wch.3x about Unicode terminology for the
line-drawing characters (report by Nick Black).
