Ben-Halim. -Changes since 1.9.9e are recorded by Thomas Dickey. +Changes through 1.9.9e are recorded by Zeyd M Ben-Halim. +Changes since 1.9.9e are recorded by Thomas E Dickey. + +Contributors include those who have provided patches (even small ones), as well +as those who provide useful information (bug reports, analyses). Changes with +no cited author are the work of Thomas E Dickey (TD). + +A few contributors are given in this file by their initials. +They each account for one percent or more of the changes since 1.9.9e. +See the AUTHORS file for the corresponding full names. + +Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions; +it is not possible to add this information. + +20080112 + + remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c + + remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's + adjust_window() which caused occasional misadjustment of stdscr when + softkeys were used. + +20080105 + + several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD + + modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the + "link_test" builds properly. + + fix for toe command-line options -u/-U to ensure filename is given. + + fix allocation-size for command-line parsing in infocmp from 20070728 + (report by Miroslav Lichvar) + + improve resizeterm() by moving ripped-off lines, and repainting the + soft-keys (report by Katarina Machalkova) + + add clarification in wclear's manpage noting that the screen will be + cleared even if a subwindow is cleared (prompted by Christer Enfors + question). + + change test/ncurses.c soft-key tests to work with KEY_RESIZE. + +20071222 + + continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex + for delwin(). + +20071215 + + add several functions to C++ binding which wrap C functions that + pass a WINDOW* parameter (request by Chris Lee). + +20071201 + + add note about configure options needed for Berkeley database to the + INSTALL file. + + improve checks for version of Berkeley database libraries. + + amend fix for rpath to not modify LDFLAGS if the platform has no + applicable transformation (report by Christian Ebert, cf: 20071124). + +20071124 + + modify configure option --with-hashed-db to accept a parameter which + is the install-prefix of a given Berkeley Database (prompted by + pierre4d2 comments). + + rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb(), making it work on Solaris.

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

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

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 Michail Vidiassov). + + add pattern for GNU/kFreeBSD configuration to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, + which matches an earlier change to CF_SHARED_OPTS, from xterm #224 + fixes. + + remove "${DESTDIR}" from -install_name option used for linking + shared libraries on Darwin (report by Michail Vidiassov). + +20070210 + + add test/inchs.c, test_inch_wide.c, to test win_wchnstr(). + + remove libdl from 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++ binding + no longer relies on it. + + disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and + --enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan). + + remove tack from ncurses tree. + +20070128 + + fix typo in configure script that broke --with-termlib option + (report by Rong-En Fan). + +20070127 + + improve fix for

blank lines. + + correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav + Lichvar). + +20070113 + + add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the + _first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak). + + add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the + ncurses build-tree. + + add --with-ticlib option, to build/install the tic-support functions + in a separate library (suggested by Miroslav Lichvar). + +20070106 + + change MKunctrl.awk to reduce relocation table for unctrl.o + + change MKkeyname.awk to reduce relocation table for keyname.o +
