This is a log of changes that ncurses has gone through since Zeyd started
Changes through 1.9.9e did not credit all contributions;
it is not possible to add this information.
+20191026
+ + add a note in man/curs_add_wch.3x about Unicode terminology for the
+ line-drawing characters (report by Nick Black).
+ + improve comment in lib_tgoto.c regarding the use of \200 where a
+ \0 would be intended by the caller (report by "64 bit", cf: 20000923).
+ + modify linux-16color to accommodate Linux console driver change in
+ early 2018 (report by Dino Petrucci).
+
20191019
+ modify make_hash to not require --disable-leaks, to simplify building
with address-sanitizer.
