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.
+20160507
+ + amend change to _nc_do_color to restore the early return for the
+ special case used in _nc_screen_wrap (report by Dick Streefland,
+ cf: 20151017).
+ + modify test/ncurses.c:
+ + check return-value of putwin
+ + correct ifdef which made the 'g' test's legend not reflect changes
+ to keypad- and scroll-modes.
+ + correct return-value of extended putwin (report by Mike Gran).
+
+20160423
+ + modify test/ncurses.c 'd' edit-color menu to optionally read xterm
+ color palette directly from terminal, as well as handling KEY_RESIZE
+ and screen-repainting with control/L and control/R.
+ + add 'oc' capability to xterm+256color, allowing palette reset for
+ xterm -TD
+
+20160416
+ + add workaround in configure script for inept transition to PIE vs
+ PIC builds documented in
+ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Harden_All_Packages
+ + add "reset" to list of programs whose names might change in manpages
+ due to program-transformation configure options.
+ + drop long-obsolete "-n" option from tset.
+
+20160409
+ + modify test/blue.c to use Unicode values for card-glyphs when
+ available, as well as improving the check for CP437 and CP850.
+
+20160402
+ + regenerate HTML manpages.
+ + improve manual pages for utilities with respect to POSIX versus
+ X/Open Curses.
+
+20160326
+ + regenerate HTML manpages.
+ + improve test/demo_menus.c, allowing mouse-click on the menu-headers
+ to switch the active menu. This requires a new extension option
+ O_MOUSE_MENU to tell the menu driver to put mouse events which do not
+ apply to the active menu back into the queue so that the application
+ can handle the event.
+
+20160319
+ + improve description of tgoto parameters (report by Steffen Nurpmeso).
+ + amend workaround for Solaris line-drawing to restore a special case
+ that maps Unicode line-drawing characters into the acsc string for
+ non-Unicode locales (Debian #816888).
+
+20160312
+ + modified test/filter.c to illustrate an alternative to getnstr, that
+ polls for input while updating a clock on the right margin as well
+ as responding to window size-changes.
+
20160305
+ omit a redefinition of "inline" when traces are enabled, since this
does not work with gcc 5.3.x MinGW cross-compiling (cf: 20150912).
