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.
+20120107
+ + various improvments for MinGW (patch by Juergen Pfeifer):
+ + modify stat() calls to ignore the st_size member
+ + drop mk-dlls.sh script.
+ + change recommended regular expression library.
+ + modify rain.c to allow for threaded configuraton.
+ + modify tset.c to allow for case when size-change logic is not used.
+
+20111231
+ + modify toe's report when -a and -s options are combined, to add
+ a column showing which entries belong to a given database.
+ + add -s option to toe, to sort its output.
+ + modify progs/toe.c, simplifying use of db-iterator results to use
+ caching improvements from 20111001 and 20111126.
+ + correct generation of pc-files when ticlib or termlib options are
+ given to rename the corresponding tic- or tinfo-libraries (report
+ by Sven Joachim).
+
+20111224
+ + document a portability issue with tput, i.e., that scripts which work
+ with ncurses may fail in other implementations that do no parameter
+ analysis.
+ + add putty-sco entry -TD
+
+20111217
+ + review/fix places in manpages where --program-prefix configure option
+ was not being used.
+ + add -D option to infocmp, to show the database locations that it
+ could use.
+ + fix build for the special case where term-driver, ticlib and termlib
+ are all enabled. The terminal driver depends on a few features in
+ the base ncurses library, so tic's dependencies include both ncurses
+ and termlib.
+ + fix build work for term-driver when --enable-wgetch-events option is
+ enabled.
+ + use <stdint.h> types to fix some questionable casts to void*.
+
20111210
+ modify configure script to check if thread library provides
pthread_mutexattr_settype(), e.g., not provided by Solaris 2.6
