Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions; it is not possible to add this information. +20170520 + + modify test/picsmap.c to read xpm files. + + modify package/debian/* to create documentation packages, so the + related files can be checked with lintian. + + fix some typos in manpages (report/patch by Sven Joachim). + +20170513 + + add test/picsmap.c to fill in some testing issues not met by dots. + The initial version reads X bitmap (".xbm") files. + + repair logic which forces a repaint where a color-pair's content is + changed (cf: 20170311). + + improve tracemunch, showing screenXX pointers as names. + +20170506 + + modify tic/infocmp display of numeric values to use hexadecimal when + they are "close" to a power of two, making the result more readable. + + improve discussion of portability in curs_mouse.3x + + change line-length for generated html/manpages to 78 columns from 65. + + improve discussion of line-drawing characters in curs_add_wch.3x + (prompted by discussion with Lorinczy Zsigmond). + + cleanup formatting of hackguide.html and ncurses-intro.html + + add examples for WACS_D_PLUS and WACS_T_PLUS to test/ncurses.c + +20170429 + + corrected a case where $with_gpm was set to "maybe" after CF_WITH_GPM, + overlooked in 20160528 fixes (report by Alexandre Bury). + + improve a couple of test-program's help-messages. + + corrected loop in rain.c from 20170415 changes. + + modify winnstr and winchnstr to return error if the output pointer is + null, as well as adding a null pointer check of the window pointer + for better compatibility with other implementations. + + improve discussion of NetBSD curses in scr_dump.5 + + modify LIMIT_TYPED macro in new_pair.h to avoid changing sign of the + value to be limited (reports by Darby Payne, Rob Boudreau). + + update config.guess, config.sub from + http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git + +20170422 + + build-fix for termcap-configuration (report by Chi-Hsuan Yen). + + improve terminfo manual page discussion of control- and graphics- + characters. + + remove tic warning about "^?" in string capabilities, which was + marked as an extension (cf: 20000610, 20110820); however all Unix + implementations support this and X/Open Curses does not address it. + On the other hand, termcap never did support this feature. + + correct missing comma-separator between string capabilities in + icl6402 and m2-nam -TD + + restore rmir/smir in ansi+idc to better match original ansiterm+idc, + add alias ansiterm (report by Robert King). + + amend an old check for ambiguous use of "ma" in terminfo versus + a termcap use, if the capability is cancelled to treat it as number. + + correct a case in _nc_captoinfo() which read "%%" and emitted "%". + + modify sscanf calls in _nc_infotocap() for patterns "%{number}%+%c" + and "%'char'%+%c" to check that the final character is really 'c', + avoiding a case in icl6404 which cannot be converted to termcap. + + in _nc_infotocap(), add a check to ensure that terminfo "^?" is not + written to termcap, because the BSDs did not implement that. + + in _nc_tic_expand() and _nc_infotocap(), improve string-length check + when deciding whether to use "^X" or "\xxx" format for control + characters, to make the output of tic/infocmp more predictable. + + limit termcap "%d" width to 2 digits on input, and use "%2" in + preference to "%02" on output. + + correct terminfo/termcap conversion of "%02" and "%03" into "%2" and + "%3"; the result repeated the last character. + + add man/scr_dump.5 to document screen-dump format. + +20170415 + + modify several test programs to use new popup_msgs, adapted from + help-screen used in test/edit_field.c + + drop two symbols obsoleted in 2004: _nc_check_termtype, and + _nc_resolve_uses + + fix some old copyright dates (cf: 20031025). + + build-fixes for test/savescreen.c to work with AIX and HPUX. + + minor fix to configure script, adding a backslash/continuation. + + extend TERMINAL structure for ABI 6 to store numbers internally as + integers rather than short, by adding new data for this purpose. + + more fixes for minor memory-leaks in test-programs. + +20170408 + + change logic in wins_nwstr() to avoid addressing data past the output + of mbstowcs(). + + correct a call to setcchar() in Data_Entry_w() from 20131207 changes. + + fix minor memory-leaks in test-programs. + + further improve ifdef in term_entry.h for internal definitions not + used by tack. + +20170401 + + minor fixes for vt100+4bsd, e.g., delay in sgr for consistency -TD + + add smso for env230, to match sgr -TD + + remove p7/protect from sgr in fbterm -TD + + drop setf/setb from fbterm; setaf/setab are enough -TD + + make xterm-pcolor sgr consistent with other capabilities -TD + + add rmxx/smxx ECMA-48 strikeout extension to tmux and xterm-basic + (discussion with Nicholas Marriott) + + add test-programs sp_tinfo and extended_color + + modify no-leaks code for lib_cur_term.c to account for the tgetent() + cache. + + modify setupterm() to save original tty-modes so that erasechar() + works as expected. Also modify _nc_setupscreen() to avoid redundant + calls to get original tty-modes. + + modify set_curterm() to update ttytype[] data used by longname(). + + modify wattr_set() and wattr_get() to return ERR if win-parameter is + null, as documented. + + improve cast used for null-pointer checks in header macros, to + reduce compiler warnings. + + modify several functions, using the reserved "opts" parameter to pass + color- and pair-values larger than 16-bits: + + getcchar(), setcchar(), slk_attr_set(), vid_puts(), wattr_get(), + wattr_set(), wchgat(), wcolor_set(). + + Other functions call these with the corresponding altered behavior, + including chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat(), slk_color_on(), + slk_color_off(), vid_attr(). + + add new functions for manipulating color- and pair-values larger + than 16-bits. These are extended_color_content(), + extended_pair_content(), extended_slk_color(), init_extended_color(), + init_extended_pair(), and the corresponding sp-funcs. + 20170325 + fix a memory leak in the window-list when creating multiple screens (reports by Andres Martinelli, Debian #783486).
