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.
+20111015
+ + improve description of --disable-tic-depends option to make it
+ clear that it may be useful whether or not the --with-termlib
+ option is also given (report by Sven Joachim).
+ + amend termcap equivalent for set_pglen_inch to use the X/Open
+ "YI" rather than the obsolete Solaris 2.5 "sL" (cf: 990109).
+ + improve manpage for tgetent differences from termcap library.
+
+20111008
+ + moved static data from db_iterator.c to lib_data.c
+ + modify db_iterator.c for memory-leak checking, fix one leak.
+ + modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to use Requires.private for the parts
+ of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the
+ other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728).
+
+20111001
+ + modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force
+ source-output. That allows the same flag to control the parser for
+ input and output of termcap source.
+ + modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line,
+ making it consistent with ncurses' parser.
+ + restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap
+ text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924).
+ + modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the
+ conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is
+ normally following in the source file. Also improved the warning
+ message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem.
+ + improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list.
+
+20110925
+ + add a missing "else" in changes to _nc_read_tic_entry().
+
+20110924
+ + modify _nc_read_tic_entry() so that hashed-database is checked before
+ filesystem.
+ + updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
+ + modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
+ TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
+ to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick
+ Alcock aka "Nix").
+ + build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (ch: 20110917).
+
+20110917
+ + fix compiler warning for clang 2.9
+ + improve merging of mouse events (integrated patch by Damien
+ Guibouret).
+ + correct mask-check used in lib_mouse for wheel mouse buttons 4/5
+ (patch by Damien Guibouret).
+
20110910
+ modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with
the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0"
