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.
+20140726
+ + eliminate some redundant -I options used for building libraries, and
+ ensure that ${srcdir} is added to the include-options (prompted by
+ discussion with Paul Gilmartin).
+ + modify configure script to work with Minix3.2
+ + add form library extension O_DYNAMIC_JUSTIFY option which can be
+ used to override the different treatment of justification for static
+ versus dynamic fields (adapted from patch by Leon Winter).
+ + add a null pointer check in test/edit_field.c (report/analysis by
+ Leon Winter, cf: 20130608).
+
+20140719
+ + make workarounds for compiling test-programs with NetBSD curses.
+ + improve configure macro CF_ADD_LIBS, to eliminate repeated -l/-L
+ options, from xterm changes.
+
+20140712
+ + correct Charable() macro check for A_ALTCHARSET in wide-characters.
+ + build-fix for position-debug code in tty_update.c, to work with or
+ without sp-funcs.
+
+20140705
+ + add w/W toggle to ncurses.c 'B' test, to demonstrate permutation of
+ video-attributes and colors with double-width character strings.
+
+20140629
+ + correct check in win_driver.c for saving screen contents, e.g., when
+ NCURSES_CONSOLE2 is set (cf: 20140503).
+ + reorganize b/B menu items in ncurses.c, putting the test-strings into
+ subwindows. This is needed for a planned change to use Unicode
+ fullwidth characters in the test-screens.
+ + correct update to form status for _NEWTOP, broken by fixes for
+ compiler warnings (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20120616).
+
+20140621
+ + change shared-library suffix for AIX 5 and 6 to ".so", avoiding
+ conflict with the static library (report by Ben Lentz).
+ + document RPATH_LIST in INSTALLATION file, as part of workarounds for
+ upgrading an ncurses library using the "--with-shared" option.
+ + modify test/ncurses.c c/C tests to cycle through subsets of the
+ total number of colors, to better illustrate 8/16/88/256-colors by
+ providing directly comparable screens.
+ + add test/dots_curses.c, for comparison with the low-level examples.
+
+20140614
+ + fix dereference before null check found by Coverity in tic.c
+ (cf: 20140524).
+ + fix sign-extension bug in read_entry.c which prevented "toe" from
+ reading empty "screen+italics" entry.
+ + modify sgr for screen.xterm-new to support dim capability -TD
+ + add dim capability to nsterm+7 -TD
+ + cancel dim capability for iterm -TD
+ + add dim, invis capabilities to vte-2012 -TD
+ + add sitm/ritm to konsole-base and mlterm3 -TD
+
+20140609
+ > fix regression in screen terminfo entries (reports by Christian
+ Ebert, Gabriele Balducci) -TD
+ + revert the change to screen; see notes for why this did not work -TD
+ + cancel sitm/ritm for entries which extend "screen", to work around
+ screen's hardcoded behavior for SGR 3 -TD
+
20140607
+ separate masking for sgr in vidputs from sitm/ritm, which do not
overlap with sgr functionality.
