add --enable-reentrant configure option for ongoing changes to + implement a reentrant version of ncurses: + + libraries are suffixed with "t" + + wrap several global variables (curscr, newscr, stdscr, ttytype, + COLORS, COLOR_PAIRS, COLS, ESCDELAY, LINES and TABSIZE) as + functions returning values stored in SCREEN or cur_term. + + move some initialization (LINES, COLS) from lib_setup.c, + i.e., setupterm() to _nc_setupscreen(), i.e., newterm(). + +20070303 + + regenerated html documentation. + + add NCURSES_OPAQUE symbol to curses.h, will use to make structs + opaque in selected configurations. + + move the chunk in lib_acs.c which resets acs capabilities when + running on a terminal whose locale interferes with those into + _nc_setupscreen(), so the libtinfo/libtinfow files can be made + identical (requested by Miroslav Lichvar). + + do not use configure variable SHLIB_LIBS for building libraries + outside the ncurses directory, since that symbol is customized + only for that directory, and using it introduces an unneeded + dependency on libdl (requested by Miroslav Lichvar). + + modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or + installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in + case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh (report by Jeff + Chua). + + revised section "Using NCURSES under XTERM" in ncurses-intro.html + (prompted by newsgroup comment by Nick Guenther). + +20070224 + + change internal return codes of _nc_wgetch() to check for cases + where KEY_CODE_YES should be returned, e.g., if a KEY_RESIZE was + ungetch'd, and read by wget_wch(). + + fix static-library build broken in 20070217 changes to remove "-ldl" + (report by Miroslav Lichvar). + + change makefile/scripts for cygwin to allow building

ncurses/Makefile (report by Miroslav + Lichvar). + + modify relinking of shared libraries to apply only when rpath is + enabled, and add --disable-relink option which can be used to + disable the feature altogether (reports by Michail Vidiassov, + Adam J Richter). + + fix --with-termlib option for wide-character configuration, stripping + the "w" suffix in one place (report by Miroslav Lichvar). + + remove "-ldl" from some library lists to reduce dependencies in + programs (report by Miroslav Lichvar). + + correct description of --enable-signed-char in configure --help + (report by

library list for termlib (report by Miroslav + Lichvar). + + fix configure.in to allow --without-progs --with-termlib (patch by + Miroslav Lichvar). + + modify win_wchnstr() to ensure that only a base cell is returned + for each multi-column character (prompted by report by Wei Kong + regarding change in mvwin_wch() cf: 20041023). + +20070203 + + modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color) + from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window. + Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the + associated color overrides the field's background color (report by + Ricardo Cantu). + + improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc. + + ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted. + + add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints + to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built. + + drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++
