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.
+20120922
+ + modify setupterm to set its copy of TERM to "unknown" if configured
+ for the terminal driver and TERM was null or empty.
+ + modify treatment of TERM variable for MinGW port to allow explicit
+ use of the windows console driver by checking if $TERM is set to
+ "#win32con" or an abbreviation of that.
+ + undo recent change to fallback definition of vsscanf() to build with
+ older Solaris compilers (cf: 20120728).
+
20120908
+ add test-screens to test/ncurses to show 256-characters at a time,
- to help with mingw port.
+ to help with MinGW port.
20120903
+ simplify varargs logic in lib_printw.c; va_copy is no longer needed
there.
- + modifications for mingw port to make wide-character display usable.
+ + modifications for MinGW port to make wide-character display usable.
20120902
+ regenerate configure script (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20120901).

common traditional development environments on Windows, mainly with
Microsoft Visual Studio.
-It is necessary to unset the TERM environment variable, to activate the
-Windows console-driver.
+The TERM environment variable must be set specially to active the Windows
+console-driver. The driver checks if TERM is set to "#win32con" (explicit
+use) or if TERM is unset or empty (implicit).
Please also make sure that MSYS links to the correct directory containing
your MinGW toolchain. For TDM this is usually C:\MinGW64. In your Windows
--enable-term-driver
--enable-interop
-This is the configuration commandline as I'm using it at the moment (assuming environment variable MINGW_ROOT to hold the root directory name of your MinGW build):

A lot is still TODO, e.g.:
- - Wide Character support
+ - Wide Character support (display is workable, but input untested)
The Win32Con driver should actually only use Unicode in the
future.
- Thread support (locking). If using TDM toolchain this is done by
- Workarounds for MinGW's filesystem access are necessary to make infocmp
work (though tic works).
-To support terminfo, we need to have an ioctl() simulation for the
-serial and networked Terminals.
