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.
+20140906
+ + build-fix and other improvements for port of ncurses-examples to
+ NetBSD.
+ + minor compiler-warning fixes.
+
+20140831
+ + modify test/demo_termcap.c and test/demo_terminfo.c to make their
+ options more directly comparable, and add "-i" option to specify
+ a terminal description filename to parse for names to lookup.
+
+20140823
+ + fix special case where double-width character overwrites a single-
+ width character in the first column (report by Egmont Koblinger,
+ cf: 20050813).
+
+20140816
+ + fix colors in ncurses 'b' test which did not work after changing
+ it to put the test-strings in subwindows (cf: 20140705).
+ + merge redundant SEE-ALSO sections in form and menu manpages.
+
+20140809
+ + modify declarations for user-data pointers in C++ binding to use
+ reinterpret_cast to facilitate converting typed pointers to void*
+ in user's application (patch by Adam Jiang).
+ + regenerated html manpages.
+ + add note regarding cause and effect for TERM in ncurses manpage,
+ having noted clueless verbiage in Terminal.app's "help" file
+ which reverses cause/effect.
+ + remove special fallback definition for NCURSES_ATTR_T, since macros
+ have resolved type-mismatches using casts (cf: 970412).
+ + fixes for win_driver.c:
+ + handle repainting on endwin/refresh combination.
+ + implement beep().
+ + minor cleanup.
+
+20140802
+ + minor portability fixes for MinGW:
+ + ensure WINVER is defined in makefiles rather than using headers
+ + add check for gnatprep "-T" option
+ + work around bug introduced by gcc 4.8.1 in MinGW which breaks
+ "trace" feature:
+ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20877689/gcc-4-8-1-minggw-d-option-does-not-work-as-usual
+ + fix most compiler warnings for Cygwin ncurses-examples.
+ + restore "redundant" -I options in test/Makefile.in, since they are
+ typically needed when building the derived ncurses-examples package
+ (cf: 20140726).
+
+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.
