Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions; it is not possible to add this information. +20111015 + + improve description of --disable-tic-depends option to make it + clear that it may be useful whether or not the --with-termlib + option is also given (report by Sven Joachim). + + amend termcap equivalent for set_pglen_inch to use the X/Open + "YI" rather than the obsolete Solaris 2.5 "sL" (cf: 990109). + + improve manpage for tgetent differences from termcap library. + +20111008 + + moved static data from db_iterator.c to lib_data.c + + modify db_iterator.c for memory-leak checking, fix one leak. + + modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to use Requires.private for the parts + of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the + other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728). + +20111001 + + modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force + source-output. That allows the same flag to control the parser for + input and output of termcap source. + + modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line, + making it consistent with ncurses' parser. + + restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap + text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924). + + modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the + conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is + normally following in the source file. Also improved the warning + message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem. + + improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list. + +20110925 + + add a missing "else" in changes to _nc_read_tic_entry(). + +20110924 + + modify _nc_read_tic_entry() so that hashed-database is checked before + filesystem. + + updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script. + + modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and + TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables, + to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick + Alcock aka "Nix"). + + build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (ch: 20110917). + +20110917 + + fix compiler warning for clang 2.9 + + improve merging of mouse events (integrated patch by Damien + Guibouret). + + correct mask-check used in lib_mouse for wheel mouse buttons 4/5 + (patch by Damien Guibouret). + +20110910 + + modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with + the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0" + (cf: 20110716). + + revert a change to getmouse() which had the undesirable side-effect + of suppressing button-release events (report by Damien Guibouret, + cf: 20100102). + + add xterm+kbs fragment from xterm #272 -TD + + add configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir to provide control over + the actual directory into which pc-files are installed, do not use + the pkg-config environment variables (discussion with Frederic L W + Meunier). + + add link to mailing-list archive in announce.html.in, as done in + FAQ (prompted by question by Andrius Bentkus). + + improve manpage install by adjusting the "#include" examples to + show the ncurses-subdirectory used when --disable-overwrite option + is used. + + install an alias for "curses" to the ncurses manpage, tied to the + --with-curses-h configure option (suggested by Reuben Thomas). + +20110903 + + propagate error-returns from wresize, i.e., the internal + increase_size and decrease_size functions through resize_term (report + by Tim van der Molen, cf: 20020713). + + fix typo in tset manpage (patch by Sven Joachim). + +20110820 + + add a check to ensure that termcap files which might have "^?" do + not use the terminfo interpretation as "\177". + + minor cleanup of X-terminal emulator section of terminfo.src -TD + + add terminator entry -TD + + add simpleterm entry -TD + + improve wattr_get macros by ensuring that if the window pointer is + null, then the attribute and color values returned will be zero + (cf: 20110528). + +20110813 + + add substitution for $RPATH_LIST to misc/ncurses-config.in + + improve performance of tic with hashed-database by caching the + database connection, using atexit() to cleanup. + + modify treatment of 2-character aliases at the beginning of termcap + entries so they are not counted in use-resolution, since these are + guaranteed to be unique. Also ignore these aliases when reporting + the primary name of the entry (cf: 20040501) + + double-check gn (generic) flag in terminal descriptions to + accommodate old/buggy termcap databases which misused that feature. + + minor fixes to _nc_tgetent(), ensure buffer is initialized even on + error-return. + 20110807 + improve rpath fix from 20110730 by ensuring that the new $RPATH_LIST variable is defined in the makefiles which use it.
