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().
