Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions; it is not possible to add this information. +20130302 + + add section to terminfo manpage discussing user-defined capabilities. + + update manpage description of NCURSES_NO_SETBUF, explaining why it + is obsolete. + + add a check in waddch_nosync() to ensure that tab characters are + treated as control characters; some broken locales claim they are + printable. + + add some traces to the Windows console driver. + + initialize a temporary array in _nc_mbtowc, needed for some cases + of raw input in MinGW port. + +20130218 + + correct ifdef on change to lib_twait.c (report by Werner Fink). + + update config.guess, config.sub + +20130216 + + modify test/testcurs.c to work with mouse for ncurses as it does for + pdcurses. + + modify test/knight.c to work with mouse for pdcurses as it does for + ncurses. + + modify internal recursion in wgetch() which handles cooked mode to + check if the call to wgetnstr() returned an error. This can happen + when both nocbreak() and nodelay() are set, for instance (report by + Nils Christopher Brause) (cf: 960418). + + fixes for issues found by Coverity: + + add a check for valid position in ClearToEOS() + + fix in lib_twait.c when --enable-wgetch-events is used, pointer + use after free. + + improve a limit-check in make_hash.c + + fix a memory leak in hashed_db.c + +20130209 + + modify test/configure script to make it simpler to override names + of curses-related libraries, to help with linking with pdcurses in + mingw environment. + + if the --with-terminfo-dirs configure option is not used, there is + no corresponding compiled-in value for that. Fill in "no default + value" for that part of the manpage substitution. + +20130202 + + correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make + an incorrect move (cf: 20001028). + + improve documentation of the terminfo/termcap search path. + +20130126 + + further fixes to mvcur to pass callback function (cf: 20130112), + needed to make test/dots_mvcur work. + + reduce calls to SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer in win_driver.c, to + help reduce flicker. + + modify configure script to omit "+b" from linker options for very + old HP-UX systems (report by Dennis Grevenstein) + + add HP-UX workaround for missing EILSEQ on old HP-UX systems (patch + by Dennis Grevenstein). + + restore memmove/strdup support for antique systems (request by + Dennis Grevenstein). + + change %l behavior in tparm to push the string length onto the stack + rather than saving the formatted length into the output buffer + (report by Roy Marples, cf: 980620). + +20130119 + + fixes for issues found by Coverity: + + fix memory leak in safe_sprintf.c + + add check for return-value in tty_update.c + + correct initialization for -s option in test/view.c + + add check for numeric overflow in lib_instr.c + + improve error-checking in copywin + + add advice in infocmp manpage for termcap users (Debian #698469). + + add "-y" option to test/demo_termcap and test/demo_terminfo to + demonstrate behavior with/without extended capabilities. + + updated termcap manpage to document legacy termcap behavior for + matching capability names. + + modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate legacy + applications as well as to improve compatbility with BSD 4.2 + termcap implementations (Debian #698299) (cf: 980725). + +20130112 + + correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts. + + drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they + are unused in the current driver model. + + modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses + library. + + modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage. + + amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level + putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering. + The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674). + +20130105 + + add "-s" option to test/view.c to allow it to start in single-step + mode, reducing size of trace files when it is used for debugging + MinGW changes. + + revert part of 20121222 change to tinfo_driver.c + + add experimental logic in win_driver.c to improve optimization of + screen updates. This does not yet work with double-width characters, + so it is ifdef'd out for the moment (prompted by report by Erwin + Waterlander regarding screen flicker). + 20121229 + fix coverity warnings regarding copying into fixed-size buffers. + add throw-declarations in the c++ binding per Coverity warning.
