Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions; it is not possible to add this information. +20120407 + + fix an inconsistency between tic/infocmp "-x" option; tic omits all + non-standard capabilities, while infocmp was ignoring only the user + definable capabilities. + + improve special case in tic parsing of description to allow it to be + followed by terminfo capabilities. Previously the description had to + be the last field on an input line to allow tic to distinguish + between termcap and terminfo format while still allowing commas to be + embedded in the description. + + correct variable name in gen_edit.sh which broke configurability of + the --with-xterm-kbs option. + + revert 2011-07-16 change to "linux" alias, return to "linux2.2" -TD + + further amend 20110910 change, providing for configure-script + override of the "linux" terminfo entry to install and changing the + default for that to "linux2.2" (Debian #665959). + +20120331 + + update Ada95/configure to use CF_DISABLE_ECHO (cf: 20120317). + + correct order of use-clauses in st-256color -TD + + modify configure script to look for gnatgcc if the Ada95 binding + is built, in preference to the default gcc/cc (suggested by + Nicolas Boulenguez). + + modify configure script to ensure that the same -On option used for + the C compiler in CFLAGS is used for ADAFLAGS rather than simply + using -O3 (suggested by Nicolas Boulenguez) + +20120324 + + amend an old fix so that next_char() exits properly for empty files, + e.g., from reading /dev/null (cf: 20080804). + + modify tic so that it can read from the standard input, or from + a character device. Because tic uses seek's, this requires writing + the data to a temporary file first (prompted by remark by Sven + Joachim) (cf: 20000923). + +20120317 + + correct a check made in lib_napms.c, so that terminfo applications + can again use napms() (cf: 20110604). + + add a note in tic.h regarding required casts for ABSENT_BOOLEAN + (cf: 20040327). + + correct scripting for --disable-echo option in test/configure. + + amend check for missing c++ compiler to work when no error is + reported, and no variables set (cf: 20021206). + + add/use configure macro CF_DISABLE_ECHO. + +20120310 + + fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits. + + use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303). + + improve a limit-check in infocmp.c (Werner Fink): + +20120303 + + minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation + regarding mapping of \0 to \200 + + minor improvement to _nc_copy_termtype(), using memcpy to replace + loops. + + fix no-leaks checking in test/demo_termcap.c to account for multiple + calls to setupterm(). + + modified the libgpm change to show previous load as a problem in the + debug-trace. + > merge some patches from OpenSUSE rpm (Werner Fink): + + ncurses-5.7-printw.dif, fixes for varargs handling in lib_printw.c + + ncurses-5.7-gpm.dif, do not dlopen libgpm if already loaded by + runtime linker + + ncurses-5.6-fallback.dif, do not free arrays and strings from static + fallback entries + +20120228 + + fix breakage in tic/infocmp from 20120225 (report by Werner Fink). + +20120225 + + modify configure script to allow creating dll's for MinGW when + cross-compiling. + + add --enable-string-hacks option to control whether strlcat and + strlcpy may be used. The same issue applies to OpenBSD's warnings + about snprintf, noting that this function is weakly standardized. + + add configure checks for strlcat, strlcpy and snprintf, to help + reduce bogus warnings with OpenBSD builds. + + build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 to supply consistent intptr_t declaration + (cf:20111231) + + update config.guess, config.sub + +20120218 + + correct CF_ETIP_DEFINES configure macro, making it exit properly on + the first success (patch by Pierre Labastie). + + improve configure macro CF_MKSTEMP by moving existence-check for + mkstemp out of the AC_TRY_RUN, to help with cross-compiles. + + improve configure macro CF_FUNC_POLL from luit changes to detect + broken implementations, e.g., with Mac OS X. + + add configure option --with-tparm-arg + + build-fix for MinGW cross-compiling, so that make_hash does not + depend on TTY definition (cf: 20111008). + +20120211 + + make sgr for xterm-pcolor agree with other caps -TD + + make sgr for att5425 agree with other caps -TD + + make sgr for att630 agree with other caps -TD + + make sgr for linux entries agree with other caps -TD + + make sgr for tvi9065 agree with other caps -TD + + make sgr for ncr260vt200an agree with other caps -TD + + make sgr for ncr160vt100pp agree with other caps -TD + + make sgr for ncr260vt300an agree with other caps -TD + + make sgr for aaa-60-dec-rv, aaa+dec agree with other caps -TD + + make sgr for cygwin, cygwinDBG agree with other caps -TD + + add configure option --with-xterm-kbs to simplify configuration for + Linux versus most other systems. + +20120204 + + improved tic -D option, avoid making target directory and provide + better diagnostics. + +20120128 + + add mach-gnu (Debian #614316, patch by Samuel Thibault) + + add mach-gnu-color, tweaks to mach-gnu terminfo -TD + + make sgr for sun-color agree with smso -TD + + make sgr for prism9 agree with other caps -TD + + make sgr for icl6404 agree with other caps -TD + + make sgr for ofcons agree with other caps -TD + + make sgr for att5410v1, att4415, att620 agree with other caps -TD + + make sgr for aaa-unk, aaa-rv agree with other caps -TD + + make sgr for avt-ns agree with other caps -TD + + amend fix intended to separate fixups for acsc to allow "tic -cv" to + give verbose warnings (cf: 20110730). + + modify misc/gen-edit.sh to make the location of the tabset directory + consistent with misc/Makefile.in, i.e., using ${datadir}/tabset + (Debian #653435, patch by Sven Joachim). + 20120121 + add --with-lib-prefix option to allow configuring for old/new flavors of OS/2 EMX.
