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.
+20100109
+ + modify configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., to use CF_ADD_CFLAGS
+ consistently to add new -D's while removing duplicates.
+ + modify a few configure macros to consistently put new options
+ before older in the list.
+ + add tiparm(), based on review of X/Open Curses Issue 7.
+ + minor documentation cleanup.
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
+ (caveat - its maintainer put 2010 copyright date on files dated 2009)
+
+20100102
+ + minor improvement to tic's checking of similar SGR's to allow for the
+ most common case of SGR 0.
+ + modify getmouse() to act as its documentation implied, returning on
+ each call the preceding event until none are left. When no more
+ events remain, it will return ERR.
+
+20091227
+ + change order of lookup in progs/tput.c, looking for terminfo data
+ first. This fixes a confusion between termcap "sg" and terminfo
+ "sgr" or "sgr0", originally from 990123 changes, but exposed by
+ 20091114 fixes for hashing. With this change, only "dl" and "ed" are
+ ambiguous (Mandriva #56272).
+
+20091226
+ + add bterm terminfo entry, based on bogl 0.1.18 -TD
+ + minor fix to rxvt+pcfkeys terminfo entry -TD
+ + build-fixes for Ada95 tree for gnat 4.4 "style".
+
+20091219
+ + remove old check in mvderwin() which prevented moving a derived
+ window whose origin happened to coincide with its parent's origin
+ (report by Katarina Machalkova).
+ + improve test/ncurses.c to put mouse droppings in the proper window.
+ + update minix terminfo entry -TD
+ + add bw (auto-left-margin) to nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler)
+
+20091212
+ + correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
+ field_buffer(), which stopped at the end of the first row due to
+ filling of unused entries in a cchar_t array with nulls.
+ + updated nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler, Emanuele Giaquinta)
+ + modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to show wide-character
+ nulls.
+ + use strdup() in set_menu_mark(), restore .marklen struct member on
+ failure.
+ + eliminate clause 3 from the UCB copyrights in read_termcap.c and
+ tset.c per
+ ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change
+ (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+ + replace a malloc in tic.c with strdup, checking for failure (patch by
+ Nicholas Marriott).
+ + update config.guess, config.sub from
+ http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
+
+20091205
+ + correct layout of working window used to extract data in
+ wide-character configured by set_field_buffer (patch by Rafael
+ Garrido Fernandez)
+ + improve some limit-checks related to filename length in reading and
+ writing terminfo entries.
+ + ensure that filename is always filled in when attempting to read
+ a terminfo entry, so that infocmp can report the filename (patch
+ by Nicholas Marriott).
+
+20091128
+ + modify mk-1st.awk to allow tinfo library to be built when term-driver
+ is enabled.
+ + add error-check to configure script to ensure that sp-funcs is
+ enabled if term-driver is, since some internal interfaces rely upon
+ this.
+
20091121
+ fix case where progs/tput is used while sp-funcs is configure; this
requires save/restore of out-character function from _nc_prescreen
