Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions; it is not possible to add this information. +20111030 + + modify make_db_path() to allow creating "terminfo.db" in the same + directory as an existing "terminfo" directory. This fixes a case + where switching between hashed/filesystem databases would cause the + new hashed database to be installed in the next best location - + root's home directory. + + add variable cf_cv_prog_gnat_correct to those passed to + config.status, fixing a problem with Ada95 builds (cf: 20111022). + + change feature test from _XPG5 to _XOPEN_SOURCE in two places, to + accommodate broken implementations for _XPG6. + + eliminate usage of NULL symbol from etip.h, to reduce header + interdependencies. + + add configure check to decide when to add _XOPEN_SOURCE define to + compiler options, i.e., for Solaris 10 and later (cf: 20100403). + This is a workaround for gcc 4.6, which fails to build the c++ + binding if that symbol is defined by the application, due to + incorrectly combining the corresponding feature test macros + (report by Peter Kruse). + +20111022 + + correct logic for discarding mouse events, retaining the partial + events used to build up click, double-click, etc, until needed + (cf: 20110917). + + fix configure script to avoid creating unused Ada95 makefile when + gnat does not work. + + cleanup width-related gcc 3.4.3 warnings for 64-bit platform, for the + internal functions of libncurses. The external interface of courses + uses bool, which still produces these warnings. + +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 (cf: 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"
