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.
+20121026
+ + improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
+ #866989).
+ + add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.
+ + updated configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_WITH_PATHLIST. The
+ first corrects pattern used for Mac OS X's customization of gcc.

+ (Redhat #866989).

+ + add vte-2012, gnome-2012, making these the defaults for vte/gnome
+ (patch by Christian Persch).
+
+20121006
+ + improve CF_GCC_VERSION to work around Debian's customization of gcc
+ --version message.
+ + improve configure macros as done in byacc:
+ + drop 2.13 compatibility; use 2.52.xxxx version only since EMX port
+ has used that for a while.
+ + add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE's to allow autoheader to run, i.e.,
+ for experimental use.
+ + remove unused configure macros.
+ + modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
