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.
+20210323
+ + add configure option --enable-stdnoreturn, making the _Noreturn
+ keyword optional to ease transition (prompted by report by
+ Rajeev V Pillai).
+
+20210320
+ + improve parameter-checking in tput by forcing it to analyze any
+ extended string capability, e.g., as used in the Cs and Ms
+ capabilities of the tmux description (report by Brad Town,
+ cf: 20200531).
+ + remove an incorrect free in the fallback (non-checking) version of
+ _nc_free_and_exit (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ + correct use-ordering in some xterm-direct flavors -TD
+ + add hterm, hterm-256color (Mike Frysinger)
+ + if the build-time compiler accepts c11's _Noreturn keyword, use that
+ rather than gcc's attribute.
+ + change configure-check for gcc's noreturn attribute to assume it is
+ a prefix rather than suffix, matching c11's _Noreturn convention.
+ + add "lint" rule to c++/Makefile, e.g., with cppcheck.
+
+20210313
+ + improve configure CF_LD_SEARCHPATH macro used for ncurses*-config and
+ ".pc" files, from dialog changes.
+ + reduce dependency of math-library in test programs.
+ + minor fixes for test_tparm.c (cf: 20210306)
+ + mention "ncurses" prefix in curses_version() manpage (report by
+ Michal Bielinski).
+
+20210306
+ + improved test/test_tparm.c, by limiting the tests to capabilities
+ that might have parameters or padding, and combined with tputs test.
+ + improve discussion of padding versus tparm and tputs in
+ man/curs_terminfo.3x
+ + update portability note for FreeBSD in man/tput.1
+
+20210227
+ + modify tic/infocmp to eliminate unnecessary "\" to escape ":" in
+ terminfo format.
+ + add check in tic for duplicate "use=" clauses.
+
+20210220
+ + improve tic warning when oc/op do not mention SGR 39/49 for xterm
+ compatible XT flag.
+ + revert change to lib_addch.c in waddch_literal() from 20210130, since
+ the followup fix in PutCharLR() actually corrects the problem while
+ this change causes too-early filling/wrapping (report by Johannes
+ Altmanninger).
+ + add/use vt220+pcedit and vt220+vtedit -TD
+ + add scrt/securecrt and absolute -TD
+ + add nel to xterm-new, though supported since X11R5 -TD
+ + add/use xterm+nofkeys -TD
+ + move use of ecma+italics from xterm-basic to xterm+nofkeys -TD
+
20210213
+ add test/back_ground.c, to exercise the wide-character background
functions.
+ re-enable "bel" in konsole-base (report by Nia Huang)
+ add linux-s entry (patch by Alexandre Montaron).
+ drop long-obsolete convert_configure.pl
- + add test/test_parm.c, for checking tparm changes.
+ + add test/test_tparm.c, for checking tparm changes.
+ improve parameter-checking for tparm, adding function _nc_tiparm() to
handle the most-used case, which accepts only numeric parameters
(report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
