Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions; it is not possible to add this information. +20141011 + + add experimental support for xterm's 1005 mouse mode, to use in a + demonstration of its limitations. + + add experimental support for "%u" format to terminfo. + + modify test/ncurses.c to also show position reports in 'a' test. + + minor formatting fixes to _nc_trace_mmask_t, make this function + exported to help with debugging mouse changes. + + improve behavior of wheel-mice for xterm protocol, noting that there + are only button-presses for buttons "4" and "5", so there is no need + to wait to combine events into double-clicks (report/analysis by + Greg Field). + + provide examples xterm-1005 and xterm-1006 terminfo entries -TD + + implement decoder for xterm SGR 1006 mouse mode. + +20140927 + + implement curs_set in win_driver.c + + implement flash in win_driver.c + + fix an infinite loop in win_driver.c if the command-window loses + focus. + + improve the non-buffered mode, i.e., NCURSES_CONSOLE2, of + win_driver.c by temporarily changing the buffer-size to match the + window-size to eliminate the scrollback. Also enforce a minimum + screen-size of 24x80 in the non-buffered mode. + + modify generated misc/Makefile to suppress install.data from the + dependencies if the --disable-db-install option is used, compensating + for the top-level makefile changes used to add ncurses*-config in the + 20140920 changes (report by Steven Honeyman). + +20140920 + + add ncurses*-config to bin-directory of sample package-scripts. + + add check to ensure that getopt is available; this is a problem in + some older cross-compiler environments. + + expanded on the description of --disable-overwrite in INSTALL + (prompted by reports by Joakim Tjernlund, Thomas Klausner). + See Gentoo #522586 and NetBSD #49200 for examples. + which relates to the clarified guidelines. + + remove special logic from CF_INCLUDE_DIRS which adds the directory + for the --includedir from the build (report by Joakim Tjernlund). + + add case for Unixware to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, from lynx changes. + + update config.sub from + http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git + +20140913 + + add a configure check to ignore some of the plethora of non-working + C++ cross-compilers. + + build-fixes for Ada95 with gnat 4.9 + +20140906 + + build-fix and other improvements for port of ncurses-examples to + NetBSD. + + minor compiler-warning fixes. + +20140831 + + modify test/demo_termcap.c and test/demo_terminfo.c to make their + options more directly comparable, and add "-i" option to specify + a terminal description filename to parse for names to lookup. + +20140823 + + fix special case where double-width character overwrites a single- + width character in the first column (report by Egmont Koblinger, + cf: 20050813). + +20140816 + + fix colors in ncurses 'b' test which did not work after changing + it to put the test-strings in subwindows (cf: 20140705). + + merge redundant SEE-ALSO sections in form and menu manpages. + +20140809 + + modify declarations for user-data pointers in C++ binding to use + reinterpret_cast to facilitate converting typed pointers to void* + in user's application (patch by Adam Jiang). + + regenerated html manpages. + + add note regarding cause and effect for TERM in ncurses manpage, + having noted clueless verbiage in Terminal.app's "help" file + which reverses cause/effect. + + remove special fallback definition for NCURSES_ATTR_T, since macros + have resolved type-mismatches using casts (cf: 970412). + + fixes for win_driver.c: + + handle repainting on endwin/refresh combination. + + implement beep(). + + minor cleanup. + +20140802 + + minor portability fixes for MinGW: + + ensure WINVER is defined in makefiles rather than using headers + + add check for gnatprep "-T" option + + work around bug introduced by gcc 4.8.1 in MinGW which breaks + "trace" feature: + http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20877689/gcc-4-8-1-minggw-d-option-does-not-work-as-usual + + fix most compiler warnings for Cygwin ncurses-examples. + + restore "redundant" -I options in test/Makefile.in, since they are + typically needed when building the derived ncurses-examples package + (cf: 20140726). + +20140726 + + eliminate some redundant -I options used for building libraries, and + ensure that ${srcdir} is added to the include-options (prompted by + discussion with Paul Gilmartin). + + modify configure script to work with Minix3.2 + + add form library extension O_DYNAMIC_JUSTIFY option which can be + used to override the different treatment of justification for static + versus dynamic fields (adapted from patch by Leon Winter). + + add a null pointer check in test/edit_field.c (report/analysis by + Leon Winter, cf: 20130608). + +20140719 + + make workarounds for compiling test-programs with NetBSD curses. + + improve configure macro CF_ADD_LIBS, to eliminate repeated -l/-L + options, from xterm changes. + +20140712 + + correct Charable() macro check for A_ALTCHARSET in wide-characters. + + build-fix for position-debug code in tty_update.c, to work with or + without sp-funcs. + +20140705 + + add w/W toggle to ncurses.c 'B' test, to demonstrate permutation of + video-attributes and colors with double-width character strings. + +20140629 + + correct check in win_driver.c for saving screen contents, e.g., when + NCURSES_CONSOLE2 is set (cf: 20140503). + + reorganize b/B menu items in ncurses.c, putting the test-strings into + subwindows.
