Testing without the fixes for the earlier reports + showed a problem with buffer overflow in dump_entry.c, which is + addressed by reducing the use of a fixed-size buffer. + + add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input + (Redhat #1464684, #1464685, #1464686, #1464691). + + alloc_entry.c, add a check for a null-pointer. + + parse_entry.c, add several checks for valid pointers as well as + one check to ensure that a single character on a line is not + treated as the 2-character termcap short-name. + + fix a memory leak in delscreen() (report by Bai Junq). + + improve tracemunch, showing thread identifiers as names. + + fix a use-after-free in NCursesMenu::~NCursesMenu() + + further amend incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes + (report by Allen Hewes). + +20170624 + + modify c++/etip.h.in to accommodate deprecation of throw() and + throws() in c++17 (prompted by patch by Romain Geissler). + + remove some incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes + (report by Allen Hewes). + + add test-programs for termattrs and term_attrs. + + modify _nc_outc_wrapper to use the standard output if the screen was + not initialized, rather than returning an error. + + improve checks for low-level terminfo functions when the terminal + has not been initialized (Redhat #1345963). + + modify make_hash to allow building with address-sanitizer, + assuming that --disable-leaks is configured. + + amend changes for number_format() in 20170506 to avoid undefined + behavior when shifting (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta). + +20170617 + + fill in some places where TERMTYPE2 vs TERMTYPE was not used + (report by Allen Hewes). + + use ExitTerminfo() internally in error-exits for ncurses' setupterm + to help with leak checking. + + use ExitProgram() in error-exit from initscr() to help with leak + checking. + + review test-programs, adding checks for cases where the terminal + cannot be initialized. + +20170610 + + add option "-xp" to picsmap.c, to use init_extended_pair(). + + make simple performance fixes for picsmap.c + + improve aspect ratio of images read from "convert" in picsmap.c + +20170603 + + add option to picsmap to use color-palette files, e.g., for mapping + to xterm-256color. + + move the data in SCREEN used for the alloc_pair() function to the + end, to restore compatibility between ncurses/ncursesw libtinfo + (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar). + + add build-time utility "report_offsets" to help show when the various + configurations of tinfo library are compatible or not. + +20170527 + + improved test/picsmap.c: + + lookup named colors for xpm files in rgb.txt + + accept blanks in color-keys for xpm files. + + if neither xbm/xpm work, try "convert", which may be available. + +20170520 + + modify test/picsmap.c to read xpm files. + + modify package/debian/* to create documentation packages, so the + related files can be checked with lintian. + + fix some typos in manpages (report/patch by Sven Joachim). + +20170513 + + add test/picsmap.c to fill in some testing issues not met by dots. + The initial version reads X bitmap (".xbm") files. + + repair logic which forces a repaint where a color-pair's content is + changed (cf: 20170311). + + improve tracemunch, showing screenXX pointers as names. + +20170506 + + modify tic/infocmp display of numeric values to use hexadecimal when + they are "close" to a power of two, making the result more readable. + + improve discussion of portability in curs_mouse.3x + + change line-length for generated html/manpages to 78 columns from 65. + + improve discussion of line-drawing characters in curs_add_wch.3x + (prompted by discussion with Lorinczy Zsigmond). + + cleanup formatting of hackguide.html and ncurses-intro.html + + add examples for WACS_D_PLUS and WACS_T_PLUS to test/ncurses.c + +20170429 + + corrected a case where $with_gpm was set to "maybe" after CF_WITH_GPM, + overlooked in 20160528 fixes (report by Alexandre Bury). + + improve a couple of test-program's help-messages. + + corrected loop in rain.c from 20170415 changes. + + modify winnstr and winchnstr to return error if the output pointer is + null, as well as adding a null pointer check of the window pointer + for better compatibility with other implementations. + + improve discussion of NetBSD curses in scr_dump.5 + + modify LIMIT_TYPED macro in new_pair.h to avoid changing sign of the + value to be limited (reports by Darby Payne, Rob Boudreau). + + update config.guess, config.sub from + http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git + 20170422 + build-fix for termcap-configuration (report by Chi-Hsuan Yen). + improve terminfo manual page discussion of control- and graphics-
