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.
+20150328
+ + add "-f" option to test/savescreen.c to help with testing/debugging
+ the extended putwin/getwin.
+ + add logic for writing/reading combining characters in the extended
+ putwin/getwin.
+ + add "--enable-ext-putwin" configure option to turn on the extended
+ putwin/getwin.
+
+20150321
+ + in-progress changes to provide an extended version of putwin and
+ getwin which will be capable of reading screen-dumps between the
+ wide/normal ncurses configurations. These are text files, except
+ for a magic code at the beginning:
+ 0 string \210\210 Screen-dump (ncurses)
+
+20150307
+ + document limitations of getwin in manual page (prompted by discussion
+ with John S Urban).
+ + extend test/savescreen.c to demonstrate that color pair values
+ and graphic characters can be restored using getwin.
+
+20150228
+ + modify win_driver.c to eliminate the constructor, to make it more
+ usable in an application which may/may not need the console window
+ (report by Grady Martin).
+
20150221
+ capture define's related to -D_XOPEN_SOURCE from the configure check
and add those to the *-config and *.pc files, to simplify use for
projects / ncurses.git / blobdiff
