Release Notes
This release is designed to be upward compatible from ncurses 5.0
- through 5.6; very few applications will require recompilation,
+ through 5.7; very few applications will require recompilation,
depending on the platform. These are the highlights from the
- change-log since ncurses 5.6 release.
-
- Interface changes:
- * generate linkable stubs for some macros:
- getattrs
-
- New features and improvements:
- * library
- + new flavor of the ncurses library provides rudimentary
- support for POSIX threads. Several functions are reentrant,
- but most require either a window-level or screen-level mutex.
- (This is API-compatible, but not ABI-compatible with the
- normal library).
- + add NCURSES_OPAQUE symbol to curses.h, will use to make
- structs opaque in selected configurations.
- + add NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS and NCURSES_EXT_COLORS symbols to
- curses.h to make it simpler to tell if the extended functions
- and/or colors are declared.
- + add wresize() to C++ binding
- + eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in C++ binding.
- + add several functions to C++ binding which wrap C functions
- that pass a WINDOW* parameter.
- + adapt mouse-handling code from menu library in form-library
- + improve tracing for form library, showing created forms,
- fields, etc.
- + make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface .
- + add check to trace-file open, if the given name is a
- directory, add ".log" to the name and try again.
- + several new manpages: curs_legacy.3x, curs_memleaks.3x,
- curs_opaque.3x and curs_threads.3x
- * programs:
- + modified three test-programs to demonstrate the threading
- support in this version: ditto, rain, worm.
- + several new test-programs: demo_panels, dots_mvcur,
- inch_wide, inchs, key_name, key_names, savescreen,
- savescreen.sh test_arrays, test_get_wstr, test_getstr,
- test_instr, test_inwstr and test_opaque.
- + add adacurses-config to the Ada95 install.
- + modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them
- from being lost when that is read back in unformatted
- strings.
- + The tack program is now distributed separately from ncurses.
- * terminal database
- + added entries:
- o Eterm-256color, Eterm-88color and rxvt-88color
- o aterm
- o konsole-256color
- o mrxvt
- o screen.mlterm
- o screen.rxvt
- o teraterm4.59 is now the primary primary teraterm entry,
- renamed original to teraterm2.3
- o 9term terminal
- o Newbury Data entries
- + updated/improved entries:
- o gnome to version 2.22.3
- o h19, z100
- o konsole to version 1.6.6
- o mlterm, mlterm+pcfkeys
- o xterm, and building-blocks for function-keys to [3]xterm
- patch #230.
-
- Major bug fixes:
- * add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined
- capabilities (this is needed for current konsole terminfo entry).
- * modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or
- installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in
- case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh.
- * correct check for notimeout() in wgetch().
- * fix a sign-extension bug in infocmp's repair_acsc() function.
- * change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line.
- * make Ada95 demo_panels() example work.
- * fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line.
- * fill in extended-color pair to make colors work for
- wide-characters using extended-colors.
- * improve refresh of window on top of multi-column characters,
- taking into account split characters on left/right window
- boundaries.
- * modify win_wchnstr() to ensure that only a base cell is returned
- for each multi-column character.
- * improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by
- using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to
- append further bytes to make up a valid sequence.
- * restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh()
- * modify keyname() to use "^X" form only if meta() has been called,
- or if keyname() is called without initializing curses, e.g., via
- initscr() or newterm().
- * modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint().
- If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
- sequence.
- * improve resizeterm() by moving ripped-off lines, and repainting
- the soft-keys.
- * modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
- in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris.
- * use NCURSES_MOUSE_MASK() in definition of BUTTON_RELEASE(), etc.,
- to make those work properly with the --enable-ext-mouse
- configuration
- * correct some functions in Ada95 binding which were using return
- value from C where none was returned.
- * reviewed/fixed issues reported by Coverity and Klocwork tools.
-
- Portability:
+ change-log since ncurses 5.7 release.
+
+Interface changes
+
+ * turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h.
+ * change _nc_has_mouse to has_mouse, reflect its use in C++ and
+ Ada95.
+ * add is_pad and is_subwin functions for opaque access to the WINDOW
+ structure.
+ * add tiparm, based on review of X/Open Curses Issue 7.
+
+New features and improvements
+
+ Library Improvements
+
+ * add a terminal driver for Windows console, which supports a MinGW
+ port to Windows.
+ * add extended functions which specify the SCREEN pointer for
+ several curses functions which use the global SP.
+ * improve the NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS feature by adding a check for an
+ extended terminfo capability U8.
+ * improve performance of tigetstr, etc., by using hashing code from
+ tic.
+ * add WACS_xxx definitions to wide-character configuration for
+ thick- and double-lines.
+ * modify init_pair to allow caller to create extra color pairs
+ beyond the color_pairs limit, which use default colors.
+
+ Improvements to Programs
+
+ * add tabs program.
+ * modify tic's -I/-C dump to reformat acsc strings into canonical
+ form (sorted, unique mapping).
+ * add checks in tic for inconsistent cursor-movement controls, and
+ for inconsistent printer-controls.
+ * add special case to _nc_infotocap (used by tic and infocmp) to
+ recognize the setaf/setab strings from xterm+256color and
+ xterm+88color, and provide a reduced version which works with
+ termcap.
+
+ Terminal Database
+
+ * added entries:
+ + bterm terminfo entry, based on bogl 0.1.18
+ + cons25-debian entry
+ + eterm-color entry
+ + linux-16color
+ + mlterm+256color entry, for mlterm 3.0.0
+ + several screen-bce.xxx entries
+ + screen.Eterm terminfo entry
+ + vwmterm entry
+ + xterm-utf8 entry as a demo of the U8 feature
+ * updated/improved entries:
+ + use extended capabilities:
+ o add U8 feature to denote entries for terminal emulators
+ which do not support VT100 SI/SO when processing UTF-8
+ encoding
+ o add XT capability to entries for terminals that support
+ both xterm-style mouse- and title-controls, for screen
+ which special-cases TERM beginning with xterm or rxvt
+ + improvements based on new checks in tic:
+ +
+ o fill in no-parameter forms of cursor-movement where a
+ parameterized form is available
+ o fill in missing cursor controls where the form of the
+ controls is ANSI
+ o add parameterized cursor-controls to linux-basic
+ o modify nsterm, xnuppc and tek4115 to make sgr/sgr0
+ consistent
+ o change several terminfo entries to make consistent use
+ of ANSI clear-all-tabs
+ + extend ansi.sys pfkey capability from kf1-kf10 to kf1-kf48,
+ moving function key definitions from emx-base for
+ consistency.
+ + correct missing final 'p' in pfkey capability of
+ ansi.sys-old.
+ + rename atari and st52 terminfo entries to atari-old,
+ st52-old, use newer entries from FreeMiNT.
+ + repurpose gnome terminfo entries as vte, retaining gnome
+ variants for compatibility, but generally deprecating those
+ since the VTE library is what actually defines the behavior
+ of "gnome", etc., since 2003.
+ + improve interix smso terminfo capability by using reverse
+ rather than bold.
+ + correct initc capability of linux-c-nc end-of-range, make
+ similar change for dg+ccc and dgunix+ccc.
+ + update minix terminfo entry.
+ + updated nsterm* entries.
+ + remove unnecessary kcan assignment to ^C from putty.
+ + suppress ncv in screen and konsole-base entries, allowing
+ underline.
+ + change ncv and op capabilities in sun-color terminfo entry to
+ match Sun's entry for this.
+ + fix typo in rmso for tek4106 entry.
+ + improve acsc string for vt52, show arrow keys.
+ + add hard-reset for rs2 to wsvt25 to help ensure that reset
+ ends the alternate character set.
+ + add ccc and initc capabilities to xterm-16color.
+
+Major bug fixes
+
+ * ncurses library
+ + wide character support
+ o modify length returned by getcchar to count the trailing
+ null which is documented in X/Open.
+ o fix an infinite recursion when adding a legacy-coding
+ 8-bit value using insch.
+ o improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a
+ control character is found. The library uses unctrl to
+ obtain a printable version of the control character, but
+ was not passing color or video attributes.
+ o modify waddch_literal, updating line-pointer after a
+ multicolumn character is found to not fit on the current
+ row, and wrapping is done. Since the line-pointer was
+ not updated, the wrapped multicolumn character was
+ written to the beginning of the current row.
+ o fixes in wins_nwstr and related functions to ensure that
+ special characters, i.e., control characters are handled
+ properly with the wide-character configuration.
+ o correct internal _nc_insert_ch to use _nc_insert_wch
+ when inserting wide characters, since the wins_wch
+ function that it used did not update the cursor
+ position.
+ + mouse
+ o add check if Gpm_Open returns a -2, e.g., for "xterm".
+ This is normally suppressed but can be overridden using
+ $NCURSES_GPM_TERMS. Ensure that Gpm_Close is called in
+ this case.
+ o add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM
+ returns a zero, indicating that the connection is
+ closed.
+ o modify getmouse to act as its documentation implied,
+ returning on each call the preceding event until none
+ are left. When no more events remain, it will return
+ ERR.
+ + miscellaneous
+ o improve handling of color-pairs embedded in attributes
+ for the extended-colors configuration.
+ o add check for failure to open hashed-database needed for
+ db4.6.
+ o modify use of $CC environment variable which is defined
+ by X/Open as a curses feature, to ignore it if it is not
+ a single character.
+ o modify declaration of cur_term when broken-linker is
+ used, but enable-reentrant is not, to match pre-5.7.
+ o correct limit-checks in derwin.
+ o remove old check in mvderwin which prevented moving a
+ derived window whose origin happened to coincide with
+ its parent's origin.
+ o correct limit-checks in newwin, to ensure that windows
+ have nonzero size.
+ o modify set_curterm to make broken-linker configuration
+ work with changes from 20090228.
+ o modify wgetch to ensure it checks SIGWINCH when it gets
+ an error in non-blocking mode.
+ o correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for
+ begy/begx values.
+ o fix a null-pointer check in _nc_format_slks in
+ lib_slk.c, from 20070704 changes.
+ o correct translation of "^" in _nc_infotocap, used to
+ transform terminfo to termcap strings.
+ o modify _nc_wgetch to check for a -1 in the fifo, e.g.,
+ after a SIGWINCH, and discard that value, to avoid
+ confusing application.
+ * other libraries
+ + correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
+ field_buffer, which stopped at the end of the first row due
+ to filling of unused entries in a cchar_t array with nulls.
+ + correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character
+ set_field_buffer, broken in 20081018 changes.
+ + correct layout of working window used to extract data in
+ wide-character configured by set_field_buffer
+
+Portability
+
* configure script:
+ new options:
- --disable-big-strings
- control whether static string tables are generated
- as single large strings (to improve startup
- performance), or as array of individual strings.
-
- --disable-relink
- control whether shared libraries are relinked
- (during install) when rpath is enabled.
-
- --disable-tic-depends
- make explicit whether tic library depends on
- ncurses/ncursesw library.
-
- --enable-mixed-case
- override the configure script's check if the
- filesystem supports mixed-case filenames. This
- allows one to control how the terminal database
- maps to the filesystem. For filesystems that do not
- support mixed-case, the library uses generate
- 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the lower-level
- of the filesystem terminfo database
-
- --enable-reentrant
- builds a different flavor of the ncurses library
- (ncursest) which improves reentrant use of the
- library by reducing global and static variables
- (see the "--with-pthread" option for the threaded
- support).
-
- --enable-weak-symbols
- use weak-symbols for linking to the POSIX thread
- library, and use the same soname for the ncurses
- shared library as the normal library (caveat: the
- ABI is for the threaded library, which makes global
- data accessed via functions).
-
- --with-pthread
- build with the POSIX thread library (tested with
- AIX, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, HPUX, IRIX64,
- Solaris, Tru64).
-
- --with-ticlib
- build/install the tic-support functions in a
- separate library
+ --disable-libtool-version
+ use the "-version-number" feature which was added
+ in libtool 1.5. The default value for the option
+ uses the newer feature, which makes libraries
+ generated using libtool compatible with the
+ standard builds of ncurses.
+
+ --disable-rpath-hack
+ disable a feature which adds rpath options for
+ libraries in unusual places.
+
+ --enable-interop
+ integrate changes for generic/interop support to
+ form-library.
+
+ --enable-pc-files
+ generate ".pc" files for each of the libraries, and
+ install them in pkg-config's library directory.
+
+ --enable-pthreads-eintr
+ control whether to allow EINTR to interrupt a read
+ operation in wgetch. This applies only to the
+ pthread configuration
+
+ --enable-sp-funcs
+ compile-in support for extended functions which
+ accept a SCREEN pointer, reducing the need for
+ juggling the global SP value with set_term and
+ delscreen.
+
+ --enable-term-driver
+ compile with terminal-driver. That is used in the
+ MinGW port, and (being somewhat more complicated)
+ is an experimental alternative to the conventional
+ termlib internals. Currently, it requires the
+ sp-funcs feature to be enabled.
+
+ --with-ncurses-wrap-prefix
+ allows setting the prefix for functions used to
+ wrap global variables to something other than
+ "_nc_".
+
+ --with-pkg-config=[DIR]
+ check for pkg-config, optionally specifying its
+ path.
+
+ --without-manpages
+ tells the configure script to suppress the install
+ of ncurses' manpages.
+
+ --without-tests
+ suppress building test programs.
+ improved options:
-
- --enable-ext-colors
- requires the wide-character configuration.
-
- --with-chtype
- ignore option value "unsigned" is always added to
- the type in curses.h; do the same for
- --with-mmask-t.
-
- --with-dmalloc
- build-fix for redefinition of strndup.
-
- --with-hashed-db
- accepts a parameter which is the install-prefix of
- a given Berkeley Database.
-
- --with-hashed-db
- the $LIBS environment variable overrides the search
- for the db library.
-
- --without-hashed-db
- assumed when "--disable-database" is used.
-
+ o correct logic for --with-database, which was coded as an
+ enable-type switch.
+ o omit the opaque-functions from lib_gen.o when
+ --disable-ext-funcs is used.
+ * packaging:
+ + *-config scripts:
+ o modify adacurses-config to look for ".ali" files in the
+ adalib directory.
+ o correct install for the Ada95 tree, which omitted
+ libAdaCurses.a used in adacurses-config.
+ o change install for adacurses-config to provide
+ additional flavors such as adacursesw-config, for
+ ncursesw.
+ o modify scripts to generate ncurses*-config and pc-files
+ to add dependency for tinfo library.
+ o use ncurses*-config scripts if available for
+ test/configure.
+ o correct name for termlib in ncurses*-config, e.g., if it
+ is renamed to provide a single file for ncurses/ncursesw
+ libraries.
+ o generate manpages for the *-config scripts, adapted from
+ help2man.
+ o modify install-rule for manpages so that *-config
+ manpages will install when building with --srcdir.
+ o build-fixes for OpenSolaris aka Solaris 11, for
+ wide-character configuration as well as for rpath
+ feature in *-config scripts.
+ o use $includedir symbol in misc/ncurses-config.in, add
+ --includedir option.
+ o improve install-rules for pc-files.
+ o create the pkg-config library directory if needed.
+ o fix typo "==" where "=" is needed in ncurses-config.in
+ and gen-pkgconfig.in files.
+ o modify gen-pkgconfig.in to eliminate a dependency on
+ rpath when deciding whether to add $LIBS to --libs
+ output; that should be shown for the ncurses and tinfo
+ libraries without taking rpath into account.
+ o modify handling of $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to use only the
+ first item in a possibly colon-separated list.
+ + other packaging issues
+ o add make-tar.sh scripts to Ada95 and test subdirectories
+ to help with making those separately distributable.
+ o add Ada95/configure script, to use in tar-file created
+ by Ada95/make-tar.sh.
+ o remove tar-copy.sh and related configure/Makefile
+ chunks, since the Ada95 binding is now installed using
+ rules in Ada95/src.
+ * cross-compiling:
+ + improve configure checks for location of tic and infocmp
+ programs used for installing database and for generating
+ fallback data, e.g., for cross-compiling.
+ + modify #define's for build-compiler to suppress cchar_t
+ symbol from compile of make_hash and make_keys, improving
+ cross-compilation of ncursesw.
+ + simplify include-dependencies of make_hash and make_keys, to
+ reduce the need for setting BUILD_CPPFLAGS in cross-compiling
+ when the build- and target-machines differ.
+ + correct cross-compiling configure check for CF_MKSTEMP macro,
+ by adding a check cache variable set by AC_CHECK_FUNC.
+ * library dependencies:
+ + revise wadd_wch and wecho_wchar to eliminate dependency on
+ unctrl.
+ + adjust configure script so that "t" is not added to library
+ suffix when weak-symbols are used, allowing the pthread
+ configuration to more closely match the non-thread naming.
+ * building the Ada95 tree:
+ + changes to use gnatmake project files in the Ada95 tree.
+ + add/use configure check to turn on project rules for
+ Ada95/src.
+ + old gnatmake (3.15) does not produce libraries using
+ project-file; work around by adding script to generate
+ alternate makefile.
+ + add configure --with-ada-sharedlib option, for the test_make
+ rule.
+ + move Ada95-related logic into aclocal.m4, since additional
+ checks will be needed to distinguish old/new implementations
+ of gnat.
+ + add test_make / test_clean / test_install rules in Ada95/src
+ + change install-path for adainclude directory to
+ /usr/share/ada (was /usr/lib/ada).
* other configure/build issues:
- + build-fixes for LynxOS
- + modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use
- rpath.
- + build-fix for FreeBSD "contemporary" TTY interface.
- + build-fixes for AIX with libtool.
- + build-fixes for Darwin and libtool.
- + modify BeOS-specific ifdef's to build on Haiku.
- + corrected gcc options for building shared libraries on
- Solaris and IRIX64.
- + change shared-library configuration for OpenBSD, make rpath
- work.
- + build-fixes for using libutf8, e.g., on OpenBSD 3.7
- + add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating
- source-files to force earlier exit if the build environment
- fails unexpectedly.
- + add support for shared libraries for QNX.
- + change delimiter in MKlib_gen.sh from '%' to '@', to avoid
- substitution by IBM xlc to '#' as part of its extensions to
- digraphs.
- * library:
- + rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb(), making it work on Solaris.
- This is used in the form library to determine the length of
- the buffer needed by field_buffer.
- + add/use configure script macro CF_SIG_ATOMIC_T, use the
- corresponding type for data manipulated by signal handlers.
- + set locale in misc/ncurses-config.in since it uses a range
- + disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to
- contain "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its
- assertion to terminals that it might handle, e.g., within
- "screen" in xterm.
- + reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library.
+ + make CCHARW_MAX value configurable, noting that changing this
+ would change the size of cchar_t, and would be
+ ABI-incompatible.
+ + improve comparison of program-names when checking for linked
+ flavors such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix.
+ + drop mkdirs.sh, use "mkdir -p".
+ + drop misc/ncu-indent and misc/jpf-indent; they are provided
+ by an external package [3]cindent.
+ + change makefiles to use $ARFLAGS rather than $AR_OPTS,
+ provide a configure check to detect whether a "-" is needed
+ before "ar" options.
+ + modify CF_DISABLE_LEAKS configure macro so that the
+ --enable-leaks option is not the same as --disable-leaks.
+ + improve configure script macros CF_HEADER_PATH and
+ CF_LIBRARY_PATH by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS
+ values to the search-lists.
+ + improve configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GCC_WARNINGS
+ to work with gcc 4.x's c89 alias, which gives warning
+ messages for cases where older versions would produce an
+ error.
+ + modify CF_WITH_LIBTOOL configure check to allow unreleased
+ libtool version numbers (e.g. which include alphabetic chars,
+ as well as digits, after the final '.').
+ + improve use of symbolic links in makefiles by using "-f"
+ option if it is supported, to eliminate temporary removal of
+ the target
+ + add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
+ CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris.
+ + add -shared option to MK_SHARED_LIB when -Bsharable is used,
+ for *BSD's, without which "main" might be one of the shared
+ library's dependencies.
+ + modify configure script to allow building shared libraries
+ with gcc on AIX 5 or 6.
+ + suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for
+ gcc on Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static
+ libc, and does not switch back to dynamic mode before
+ finishing the libraries.
+ + suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for
+ gcc on Darwin.
+ + modify misc/run_tic.in to create parent directory, in case
+ this is a new install of hashed database.
+ + modify configure check for tic program, used for fallbacks,
+ to a warning if not found. This makes it simpler to use
+ additonal scripts to bootstrap the fallbacks code using tic
+ from the build tree.
* test programs:
- + update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses
- for comparisons.
+ + add test/demo_terminfo, for comparison with demo_termcap.
+ + improve test/ncurses.c 'F' test, show combining characters in
+ color.
+ + fix logic for 'V' in test/ncurses.c tests f/F.
+ + improve test/ncurses.c 'a test to put mouse droppings in the
+ proper window.
+ + modify ncurses 'F' test to demo wborder_set with colored
+ lines.
+ + modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder with colored lines.
+ + improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl more
+ consistently to display meta-characters.
+ + correct use of key_name in test/ncurses.c 'A' test, which
+ only displays wide-characters, not key-codes since 20070612.
+ + add test/clip_printw.c to illustrate how to use printw
+ without wrapping.
+ + modify test-programs, e.g,. test/view.c, to address subtle
+ differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX getcchar
+ return values.
+ + add some test programs (and make these use the same special
+ keys by sharing linedata.h functions): test/test_addstr.c
+ test/test_addwstr.c test/test_addchstr.c
+ test/test_add_wchstr.c
+ + add test/xterm-256color.dat
+ + modify test programs to allow them to be built with NetBSD
+ curses.
+ + fixes for test programs to build/work on HPUX and AIX, etc.

-<H1>Announcing ncurses @VERSION@</H1>
-
-The ncurses (new curses) library is a free software emulation of
-curses in System V Release 4.0, and more. It uses terminfo format,
-supports pads and color
-and multiple highlights and forms characters and function-key mapping,
-and has all the other SYSV-curses enhancements over BSD curses.<P>
-
-In mid-June 1995, the maintainer of 4.4BSD curses declared that he
-considered 4.4BSD curses obsolete, and encouraged the keepers of
-Unix releases such as BSD/OS, FreeBSD and NetBSD to switch over to
-ncurses.<P>
-
-The ncurses code was developed under GNU/Linux.
-It has been in use for some time with OpenBSD as the system curses library,
-and on FreeBSD and NetBSD as an external package.
-It should port easily to any ANSI/POSIX-conforming UNIX.
-It has even been ported to OS/2 Warp!<P>
-
-The distribution includes the library and support utilities, including a
-terminfo compiler tic(1), a decompiler infocmp(1), clear(1), tput(1), tset(1),
-and a termcap conversion tool captoinfo(1). Full manual pages are provided for
-the library and tools.<P>
-
-The ncurses distribution is available via anonymous FTP at
-the GNU distribution site
-<A HREF="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ncurses/">ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ncurses/</A> .
-<br>It is also available at

-<H1>Release Notes</H1>
-
-This release is designed to be upward compatible from ncurses 5.0 through 5.6;
-very few applications will require recompilation, depending on the platform.
-These are the highlights from the change-log since ncurses 5.6 release.
-<p>
-Interface changes:
-<ul>
- <li>generate linkable stubs for some macros:
- <br>
- getattrs
-
-</ul>
-New features and improvements:
-<ul>
- <li>library
- <ul>
- <li>new flavor of the ncurses library provides rudimentary
- support for POSIX threads. Several functions are
- reentrant, but most require either a window-level or
- screen-level mutex.<br>
- (This is <em>API</em>-compatible,
- but not <em>ABI</em>-compatible with the normal library).
-
- <li>add <code>NCURSES_OPAQUE</code> symbol to curses.h, will
- use to make structs opaque in selected configurations.
-
- <li>add <code>NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS</code> and
- <code>NCURSES_EXT_COLORS</code> symbols to curses.h to make
- it simpler to tell if the extended functions and/or colors
- are declared.
-
- <li>add wresize() to C++ binding
-
- <li>eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in C++ binding.
-
- <li>add several functions to C++ binding which wrap C functions
- that pass a WINDOW* parameter.
-
- <li>adapt mouse-handling code from menu library in form-library
-
- <li>improve tracing for form library, showing created forms,
- fields, etc.
-
- <li>make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface .
-
- <li>add check to trace-file open, if the given name is a
- directory, add ".log" to the name and try again.
-
- <li>several new manpages: curs_legacy.3x, curs_memleaks.3x,
- curs_opaque.3x and curs_threads.3x
- </ul>
-
- <li>programs:
- <ul>
- <li>modified three test-programs to demonstrate the threading
- support in this version: ditto, rain, worm.
-
- <li>several new test-programs: demo_panels, dots_mvcur,
- inch_wide, inchs, key_name, key_names, savescreen,
- savescreen.sh test_arrays, test_get_wstr, test_getstr,
- test_instr, test_inwstr and test_opaque.
-
- <li>add <code>adacurses-config</code> to the Ada95 install.
-
- <li>modify tic <code>-f</code> option to format spaces as
- <code>\s</code> to prevent them from being lost when that
- is read back in unformatted strings.
-
- <li>The <code>tack</code> program is now distributed separately
- from ncurses.
- </ul>
-
- <li>terminal database
- <ul>
- <li>added entries:
- <ul>
- <li><code>Eterm-256color</code>,
- <code>Eterm-88color</code> and
- <code>rxvt-88color</code>
- <li><code>aterm</code>
- <li><code>konsole-256color</code>
- <li><code>mrxvt</code>
- <li><code>screen.mlterm</code>
- <li><code>screen.rxvt</code>
- <li><code>teraterm4.59</code> is now the primary primary
- teraterm entry, renamed original to
- <code>teraterm2.3</code>
- <li><code>9term</code> terminal
- <li>Newbury Data entries
- </ul>
- <li>updated/improved entries:
- <ul>
- <li><code>gnome</code> to version 2.22.3
- <li><code>h19</code>, <code>z100</code>
- <li><code>konsole</code> to version 1.6.6
- <li><code>mlterm</code>, <code>mlterm+pcfkeys</code>
- <li><code>xterm</code>, and building-blocks for function-keys
- to <a href="http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.log.html#xterm_230">xterm patch #230</a>.
- </ul>
- </ul>
-</ul>
-Major bug fixes:
-<ul>
- <li>add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined
- capabilities
- (this is <em>needed</em> for
- current <code>konsole</code> terminfo entry).
-
- <li>modify <code>mk-1st.awk</code> so the generated makefile rules for
- linking or installing shared libraries do not first remove the
- library, in case it is in use, e.g., <code>libncurses.so</code> by
- <code>/bin/sh</code>.
-
- <li>correct check for notimeout() in wgetch().
-
- <li>fix a sign-extension bug in infocmp's repair_acsc() function.
-
- <li>change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line.
-
- <li>make Ada95 demo_panels() example work.
-
- <li>fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line.
-
- <li>fill in extended-color pair to make colors work
- for wide-characters using extended-colors.
-
- <li>improve refresh of window on top of multi-column characters,
- taking into account split characters on left/right window
- boundaries.
-
- <li>modify <code>win_wchnstr()</code> to ensure that only a base cell
- is returned for each multi-column character.
-
- <li>improve <code>waddch()</code> and <code>winsch()</code> handling of
- EILSEQ from <code>mbrtowc()</code> by using <code>unctrl()</code>
- to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append further bytes
- to make up a valid sequence.
-
- <li>restore <code>curs_set()</code> state after
- <code>endwin()</code>/<code>refresh()</code>
-
- <li>modify <code>keyname()</code> to use "^X" form only if
- <code>meta()</code> has been called, or if <code>keyname()</code>
- is called without initializing curses, e.g., via
- <code>initscr()</code> or <code>newterm()</code>.
-
- <li>modify <code>unctrl()</code> to check codes in 128-255 range versus
- <code>isprint()</code>.
- If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
- sequence.
-
- <li>improve <code>resizeterm()</code> by moving ripped-off lines, and
- repainting the soft-keys.
-
- <li>modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
- in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris.
-
- <li>use <code>NCURSES_MOUSE_MASK()</code> in definition of
- <code>BUTTON_RELEASE()</code>, etc., to make those work properly
- with the <code>--enable-ext-mouse</code> configuration
-
- <li>correct some functions in Ada95 binding which were using return
- value from C where none was returned.
-

+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>improvements based on new checks in tic:</li>
+
+ <li style="list-style: none; display: inline">
<ul>
- <li>new options:
- <dl>
-
- <dt>--disable-big-strings
- <dd>control whether static string tables are generated as single
- large strings (to improve startup performance), or as array
- of individual strings.
-
- <dt>--disable-relink
- <dd>control whether shared libraries are relinked (during install)
- when rpath is enabled.
-
- <dt>--disable-tic-depends
- <dd>make explicit whether tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw
- library.
-
- <dt>--enable-mixed-case
- <dd>override the configure script's check if the filesystem
- supports mixed-case filenames.
- This allows one to control how the terminal database
- maps to the filesystem.
- For filesystems that do not support mixed-case, the library
- uses generate 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the
- lower-level of the filesystem terminfo database
-
- <dt>--enable-reentrant
- <dd>builds a different flavor of the ncurses library (ncursest)
- which improves reentrant use of the
- library by reducing global and static variables
- (see the "--with-pthread" option for the threaded support).
-
- <dt>--enable-weak-symbols
- <dd>use weak-symbols for linking to the POSIX thread library,
- and use the same soname for the ncurses shared library
- as the normal library (caveat: the ABI is for the threaded
- library, which makes global data accessed via functions).
-
- <dt>--with-pthread
- <dd>build with the POSIX thread library (tested with AIX,
- Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, HPUX, IRIX64, Solaris, Tru64).
-
- <dt>--with-ticlib
- <dd>build/install the tic-support functions in a separate library
-
- </dl>
-
- <li>improved options:
- <dl>
-
- <dt>--enable-ext-colors
- <dd>requires the wide-character configuration.
-
- <dt>--with-chtype
- <dd>ignore option value "unsigned" is always added to
- the type in curses.h; do the same for --with-mmask-t.
-
- <dt>--with-dmalloc
- <dd>build-fix for redefinition of <code>strndup</code>.
-
- <dt>--with-hashed-db
- <dd>accepts a parameter which is the install-prefix of a given
- Berkeley Database.
-
- <dt>--with-hashed-db
- <dd>the $LIBS environment variable overrides the search for the db
- library.
-
- <dt>--without-hashed-db
- <dd>assumed when "--disable-database" is used.
-
- </dl>
-
- </ul>
-
- <li>other configure/build issues:
- <ul>
- <li>build-fixes for LynxOS
- <li>modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath.
- <li>build-fix for FreeBSD "contemporary" TTY interface.
- <li>build-fixes for AIX with libtool.
- <li>build-fixes for Darwin and libtool.
- <li>modify BeOS-specific ifdef's to build on Haiku.
- <li>corrected gcc options for building shared libraries on Solaris
- and IRIX64.
- <li>change shared-library configuration for OpenBSD, make rpath work.
- <li>build-fixes for using libutf8, e.g., on OpenBSD 3.7
- <li>add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating source-files
- to force earlier exit if the build environment fails unexpectedly.
- <li>add support for shared libraries for QNX.

-<H1>Features of Ncurses</H1>
-
-The ncurses package is fully compatible with SVr4 (System V Release 4) curses:
-
-<UL>
-<LI>All 257 of the SVr4 calls have been implemented (and are documented).
-<LI>Full support for SVr4 curses features including keyboard mapping, color,
-forms-drawing with ACS characters, and automatic recognition of keypad
-and function keys.
-<LI>An emulation of the SVr4 panels library, supporting
-a stack of windows with backing store, is included.
-<LI>An emulation of the SVr4 menus library, supporting
-a uniform but flexible interface for menu programming, is included.
-<LI>An emulation of the SVr4 form library, supporting
-data collection through on-screen forms, is included.
-<LI>Binary terminfo entries generated by the ncurses tic(1) implementation
-are bit-for-bit-compatible with the entry format SVr4 curses uses.
-<LI>The utilities have options to allow you to filter terminfo
-entries for use with less capable <STRONG>curses</STRONG>/<STRONG>terminfo</STRONG>
-versions such as the HP/UX and AIX ports.</UL>
-
-The ncurses package also has many useful extensions over SVr4:
-
-<UL>
-<LI>The API is 8-bit clean and base-level conformant with the X/OPEN curses
-specification, XSI curses (that is, it implements all BASE level features,
-and most EXTENDED features).
-It includes many function calls not supported under SVr4 curses
-(but portability of all
-calls is documented so you can use the SVr4 subset only).
-<LI>Unlike SVr3 curses, ncurses can write to the rightmost-bottommost corner
-of the screen if your terminal has an insert-character capability.
-<LI>Ada95 and C++ bindings.
-<LI>Support for mouse event reporting with X Window xterm
-and FreeBSD and OS/2 console windows.
-<LI>Extended mouse support via Alessandro Rubini's gpm package.
-<LI>The function <CODE>wresize()</CODE> allows you to resize windows, preserving
-their data.
-<LI>The function <CODE>use_default_colors()</CODE> allows you to
-use the terminal's default colors for the default color pair,
-achieving the effect of transparent colors.
-<LI>The functions <CODE>keyok()</CODE>
-and <CODE>define_key()</CODE> allow
-you to better control the use of function keys,
-e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE,
-or by defining more than one control sequence to map to a given key code.
-<LI>Support for 256-color terminals, such as modern xterm, when configured
-using the <code>--enable-ext-colors</code> option.
-<LI>Support for 16-color terminals, such as aixterm and modern xterm.
-<LI>Better cursor-movement optimization. The package now features a
-cursor-local-movement computation more efficient than either BSD's
-or System V's.
-<LI>Super hardware scrolling support. The screen-update code incorporates
-a novel, simple, and cheap algorithm that enables it to make optimal
-use of hardware scrolling, line-insertion, and line-deletion
-for screen-line movements. This algorithm is more powerful than
-the 4.4BSD curses quickch() routine.
-<LI>Real support for terminals with the magic-cookie glitch. The
-screen-update code will refrain from drawing a highlight if the magic-
-cookie unattributed spaces required just before the beginning and
-after the end would step on a non-space character. It will
-automatically shift highlight boundaries when doing so would make it
-possible to draw the highlight without changing the visual appearance
-of the screen.
-<LI>It is possible to generate the library with a list of pre-loaded
-fallback entries linked to it so that it can serve those terminal types even
-when no terminfo tree or termcap file is accessible (this may be useful
-for support of screen-oriented programs that must run in single-user mode).
-<LI>The tic(1)/captoinfo utility provided with ncurses has the
-ability to translate many termcaps from the XENIX, IBM and
-AT&T extension sets.
-<LI>A BSD-like tset(1) utility is provided.
-<LI>The ncurses library and utilities will automatically read terminfo
-entries from $HOME/.terminfo if it exists, and compile to that directory
-if it exists and the user has no write access to the system directory.
-This feature makes it easier for users to have personal terminfo entries
-without giving up access to the system terminfo directory.
-<LI>You may specify a path of directories to search for compiled
-descriptions with the environment variable TERMINFO_DIRS (this
-generalizes the feature provided by TERMINFO under stock System V.)
-<LI>In terminfo source files, use capabilities may refer not just to
-other entries in the same source file (as in System V) but also to
-compiled entries in either the system terminfo directory or the user's
-$HOME/.terminfo directory.
-<LI>A script (<STRONG>capconvert</STRONG>) is provided to help BSD users
-transition from termcap to terminfo. It gathers the information in a
-TERMCAP environment variable and/or a ~/.termcap local entries file
-and converts it to an equivalent local terminfo tree under $HOME/.terminfo.
-<LI>Automatic fallback to the /etc/termcap file can be compiled in
-when it is not possible to build a terminfo tree. This feature is neither
-fast nor cheap, you don't want to use it unless you have to,
-but it's there.
-<LI>The table-of-entries utility <STRONG>toe</STRONG> makes it easy for users to
-see exactly what terminal types are available on the system.
-<LI>The library meets the XSI requirement that every macro entry
-point have a corresponding function which may be linked (and will be
-prototype-checked) if the macro definition is disabled with
-<CODE>#undef</CODE>.
-<LI>An HTML "Introduction to Programming with NCURSES" document provides
-a narrative introduction to the curses programming interface.
-</UL>
-
-<H1>State of the Package</H1>
-
-Numerous bugs present in earlier versions have been fixed; the
-library is far more reliable than it used to be. Bounds checking in many
-`dangerous' entry points has been improved. The code is now type-safe
-according to gcc -Wall. The library has been checked for malloc leaks and
-arena corruption by the Purify memory-allocation tester.<P>
-
-The ncurses code has been tested with a wide variety of applications
-including (versions starting with those noted):

+ <h2>Major bug fixes</h2>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>ncurses library
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>wide character support
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>modify length returned by <code>getcchar</code> to
+ count the trailing null which is documented in
+ X/Open.</li>
+
+ <li>fix an infinite recursion when adding a
+ legacy-coding 8-bit value using
+ <code>insch</code>.</li>
+
+ <li>improve a workaround in adding wide-characters,
+ when a control character is found. The library uses
+ <code>unctrl</code> to obtain a printable version of
+ the control character, but was not passing color or
+ video attributes.</li>
+
+ <li>modify <code>waddch_literal</code>, updating
+ line-pointer after a multicolumn character is found to
+ not fit on the current row, and wrapping is done. Since
+ the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped
+ multicolumn character was written to the beginning of
+ the current row.</li>
+
+ <li>fixes in <code>wins_nwstr</code> and related
+ functions to ensure that special characters, i.e.,
+ control characters are handled properly with the
+ wide-character configuration.</li>
+
+ <li>correct internal <code>_nc_insert_ch</code> to use
+ <code>_nc_insert_wch</code> when inserting wide
+ characters, since the <code>wins_wch</code> function
+ that it used did not update the cursor position.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>mouse
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>add check if <code>Gpm_Open</code> returns a -2,
+ e.g., for "xterm". This is normally suppressed but can
+ be overridden using <code>$NCURSES_GPM_TERMS</code>.
+ Ensure that <code>Gpm_Close</code> is called in this
+ case.</li>
+
+ <li>add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if
+ GPM returns a zero, indicating that the connection is
+ closed.</li>
+
+ <li>modify <code>getmouse</code> to act as its
+ documentation implied, returning on each call the
+ preceding event until none are left. When no more
+ events remain, it will return <code>ERR</code>.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>miscellaneous
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>improve handling of color-pairs embedded in
+ attributes for the extended-colors configuration.</li>
+
+ <li>add check for failure to open hashed-database
+ needed for db4.6.</li>
+
+ <li>modify use of <code>$CC</code> environment variable
+ which is defined by X/Open as a curses feature, to
+ ignore it if it is not a single character.</li>
+
+ <li>modify declaration of <code>cur_term</code> when
+ broken-linker is used, but enable-reentrant is not, to
+ match pre-5.7.</li>
+
+ <li>correct limit-checks in <code>derwin</code>.</li>
+
+ <li>remove old check in <code>mvderwin</code> which
+ prevented moving a derived window whose origin happened
+ to coincide with its parent's origin.</li>
+
+ <li>correct limit-checks in <code>newwin</code>, to
+ ensure that windows have nonzero size.</li>
+
+ <li>modify <code>set_curterm</code> to make
+ broken-linker configuration work with changes from
+ 20090228.</li>
+
+ <li>modify <code>wgetch</code> to ensure it checks
+ <code>SIGWINCH</code> when it gets an error in
+ non-blocking mode.</li>
+
+ <li>correct limit-check in <code>wredrawln</code>,
+ accounting for <code>begy</code>/<code>begx</code>
+ values.</li>
+
+ <li>fix a null-pointer check in
+ <code>_nc_format_slks</code> in lib_slk.c, from
+ 20070704 changes.</li>
+
+ <li>correct translation of "^" in
+ <code>_nc_infotocap</code>, used to transform terminfo
+ to termcap strings.</li>
+
+ <li>modify <code>_nc_wgetch</code> to check for a -1 in
+ the fifo, e.g., after a <code>SIGWINCH</code>, and
+ discard that value, to avoid confusing
+ application.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>other libraries
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
+ <code>field_buffer</code>, which stopped at the end of the
+ first row due to filling of unused entries in a cchar_t
+ array with nulls.</li>
+
+ <li>correct buffer-size after internal resizing of
+ wide-character <code>set_field_buffer</code>, broken in
+ 20081018 changes.</li>

+ and <code>CF_GCC_WARNINGS</code> to work with gcc 4.x's c89
+ alias, which gives warning messages for cases where older
+ versions would produce an error.</li>
+
+ <li>modify <code>CF_WITH_LIBTOOL</code> configure check to
+ allow unreleased libtool version numbers (e.g. which
+ include alphabetic chars, as well as digits, after the

+
+ <li>add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
+ <code>CC_SHARED_OPTS</code> for Solaris.</li>
+
+ <li>add -shared option to <code>MK_SHARED_LIB</code> when
+ -Bsharable is used, for *BSD's, without which "main" might

+
+ <li>modify configure script to allow building shared
+ libraries with gcc on AIX 5 or 6.</li>
+
+ <li>suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker

+
+ <h1>Features of Ncurses</h1>The ncurses package is fully
+ compatible with SVr4 (System V Release 4) curses:
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>All 257 of the SVr4 calls have been implemented (and are
+ documented).</li>
+
+ <li>Full support for SVr4 curses features including keyboard
+ mapping, color, forms-drawing with ACS characters, and
+ automatic recognition of keypad and function keys.</li>
+
+ <li>An emulation of the SVr4 panels library, supporting a stack
+ of windows with backing store, is included.</li>
+
+ <li>An emulation of the SVr4 menus library, supporting a
+ uniform but flexible interface for menu programming, is
+ included.</li>
+
+ <li>An emulation of the SVr4 form library, supporting data
+ collection through on-screen forms, is included.</li>
+
+ <li>Binary terminfo entries generated by the ncurses tic(1)
+ implementation are bit-for-bit-compatible with the entry format
+ SVr4 curses uses.</li>
+
+ <li>The utilities have options to allow you to filter terminfo
+ entries for use with less capable
+ <strong>curses</strong>/<strong>terminfo</strong> versions such
+ as the HP/UX and AIX ports.</li>
+ </ul>The ncurses package also has many useful extensions over
+ SVr4:
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>The API is 8-bit clean and base-level conformant with the
+ X/OPEN curses specification, XSI curses (that is, it implements
+ all BASE level features, and most EXTENDED features). It
+ includes many function calls not supported under SVr4 curses
+ (but portability of all calls is documented so you can use the
+ SVr4 subset only).</li>
+
+ <li>Unlike SVr3 curses, ncurses can write to the
+ rightmost-bottommost corner of the screen if your terminal has
+ an insert-character capability.</li>
+
+ <li>Ada95 and C++ bindings.</li>
+
+ <li>Support for mouse event reporting with X Window xterm and
+ FreeBSD and OS/2 console windows.</li>
+
+ <li>Extended mouse support via Alessandro Rubini's gpm
+ package.</li>
+
+ <li>The function <code>wresize</code> allows you to resize
+ windows, preserving their data.</li>
+
+ <li>The function <code>use_default_colors</code> allows you to
+ use the terminal's default colors for the default color pair,
+ achieving the effect of transparent colors.</li>
+
+ <li>The functions <code>keyok</code> and
+ <code>define_key</code> allow you to better control the use of
+ function keys, e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE, or by
+ defining more than one control sequence to map to a given key
+ code.</li>
+
+ <li>Support for 256-color terminals, such as modern xterm, when
+ configured using the <code>--enable-ext-colors</code>
+ option.</li>
+
+ <li>Support for 16-color terminals, such as <em>aixterm</em>
+ and <em>modern xterm</em>.</li>
+
+ <li>Better cursor-movement optimization. The package now
+ features a cursor-local-movement computation more efficient
+ than either BSD's or System V's.</li>
+
+ <li>Super hardware scrolling support. The screen-update code
+ incorporates a novel, simple, and cheap algorithm that enables
+ it to make optimal use of hardware scrolling, line-insertion,
+ and line-deletion for screen-line movements. This algorithm is
+ more powerful than the 4.4BSD curses <code>quickch</code>
+ routine.</li>
+
+ <li>Real support for terminals with the magic-cookie glitch.
+ The screen-update code will refrain from drawing a highlight if
+ the magic- cookie unattributed spaces required just before the
+ beginning and after the end would step on a non-space
+ character. It will automatically shift highlight boundaries
+ when doing so would make it possible to draw the highlight
+ without changing the visual appearance of the screen.</li>
+
+ <li>It is possible to generate the library with a list of
+ pre-loaded fallback entries linked to it so that it can serve
+ those terminal types even when no terminfo tree or termcap file
+ is accessible (this may be useful for support of
+ screen-oriented programs that must run in single-user
+ mode).</li>
+
+ <li>The tic(1)/captoinfo utility provided with ncurses has the
+ ability to translate many termcaps from the XENIX, IBM and
+ AT&T extension sets.</li>
+
+ <li>A BSD-like tset(1) utility is provided.</li>
+
+ <li>The ncurses library and utilities will automatically read
+ terminfo entries from $HOME/.terminfo if it exists, and compile
+ to that directory if it exists and the user has no write access
+ to the system directory. This feature makes it easier for users
+ to have personal terminfo entries without giving up access to
+ the system terminfo directory.</li>
+
+ <li>You may specify a path of directories to search for
+ compiled descriptions with the environment variable
+ TERMINFO_DIRS (this generalizes the feature provided by
+ TERMINFO under stock System V.)</li>
+
+ <li>In terminfo source files, use capabilities may refer not
+ just to other entries in the same source file (as in System V)
+ but also to compiled entries in either the system terminfo
+ directory or the user's $HOME/.terminfo directory.</li>
+
+ <li>A script (<strong>capconvert</strong>) is provided to help
+ BSD users transition from termcap to terminfo. It gathers the
+ information in a TERMCAP environment variable and/or a
+ ~/.termcap local entries file and converts it to an equivalent
+ local terminfo tree under $HOME/.terminfo.</li>
+
+ <li>Automatic fallback to the /etc/termcap file can be compiled
+ in when it is not possible to build a terminfo tree. This
+ feature is neither fast nor cheap, you don't want to use it
+ unless you have to, but it's there.</li>
+
+ <li>The table-of-entries utility <strong>toe</strong> makes it
+ easy for users to see exactly what terminal types are available
+ on the system.</li>
+
+ <li>The library meets the XSI requirement that every macro
+ entry point have a corresponding function which may be linked
+ (and will be prototype-checked) if the macro definition is
+ disabled with <code>#undef</code>.</li>
+
+ <li>An HTML "Introduction to Programming with NCURSES" document
+ provides a narrative introduction to the curses programming
+ interface.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h1>State of the Package</h1>Numerous bugs present in earlier
+ versions have been fixed; the library is far more reliable than
+ it used to be. Bounds checking in many `dangerous' entry points
+ has been improved. The code is now type-safe according to gcc
+ -Wall. The library has been checked for malloc leaks and arena
+ corruption by the Purify memory-allocation tester.
+
+ <p>The ncurses code has been tested with a wide variety of
+ applications including (versions starting with those noted):</p>

-<H1>Announcing ncurses 5.7</H1>
-
-The ncurses (new curses) library is a free software emulation of
-curses in System V Release 4.0, and more. It uses terminfo format,
-supports pads and color
-and multiple highlights and forms characters and function-key mapping,
-and has all the other SYSV-curses enhancements over BSD curses.<P>
-
-In mid-June 1995, the maintainer of 4.4BSD curses declared that he
-considered 4.4BSD curses obsolete, and encouraged the keepers of
-Unix releases such as BSD/OS, FreeBSD and NetBSD to switch over to
-ncurses.<P>
-
-The ncurses code was developed under GNU/Linux.
-It has been in use for some time with OpenBSD as the system curses library,
-and on FreeBSD and NetBSD as an external package.
-It should port easily to any ANSI/POSIX-conforming UNIX.
-It has even been ported to OS/2 Warp!<P>
-
-The distribution includes the library and support utilities, including a
-terminfo compiler tic(1), a decompiler infocmp(1), clear(1), tput(1), tset(1),
-and a termcap conversion tool captoinfo(1). Full manual pages are provided for
-the library and tools.<P>
-
-The ncurses distribution is available via anonymous FTP at
-the GNU distribution site
-<A HREF="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ncurses/">ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ncurses/</A> .
-<br>It is also available at
-<A HREF="ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/">ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/</A> .
-
-<H1>Release Notes</H1>
-
-This release is designed to be upward compatible from ncurses 5.0 through 5.6;
-very few applications will require recompilation, depending on the platform.
-These are the highlights from the change-log since ncurses 5.6 release.
-<p>
-Interface changes:
-<ul>
- <li>generate linkable stubs for some macros:
- <br>
- getattrs
-
-</ul>
-New features and improvements:
-<ul>
- <li>library
- <ul>
- <li>new flavor of the ncurses library provides rudimentary
- support for POSIX threads. Several functions are
- reentrant, but most require either a window-level or
- screen-level mutex.<br>
- (This is <em>API</em>-compatible,
- but not <em>ABI</em>-compatible with the normal library).
-
- <li>add <code>NCURSES_OPAQUE</code> symbol to curses.h, will
- use to make structs opaque in selected configurations.
-
- <li>add <code>NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS</code> and
- <code>NCURSES_EXT_COLORS</code> symbols to curses.h to make
- it simpler to tell if the extended functions and/or colors
- are declared.
-
- <li>add wresize() to C++ binding
-
- <li>eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in C++ binding.
-
- <li>add several functions to C++ binding which wrap C functions
- that pass a WINDOW* parameter.
-
- <li>adapt mouse-handling code from menu library in form-library
-
- <li>improve tracing for form library, showing created forms,
- fields, etc.
-
- <li>make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface .
-
- <li>add check to trace-file open, if the given name is a
- directory, add ".log" to the name and try again.
-
- <li>several new manpages: curs_legacy.3x, curs_memleaks.3x,
- curs_opaque.3x and curs_threads.3x
- </ul>
-
- <li>programs:
- <ul>
- <li>modified three test-programs to demonstrate the threading
- support in this version: ditto, rain, worm.
-
- <li>several new test-programs: demo_panels, dots_mvcur,
- inch_wide, inchs, key_name, key_names, savescreen,
- savescreen.sh test_arrays, test_get_wstr, test_getstr,
- test_instr, test_inwstr and test_opaque.
-
- <li>add <code>adacurses-config</code> to the Ada95 install.
-
- <li>modify tic <code>-f</code> option to format spaces as
- <code>\s</code> to prevent them from being lost when that
- is read back in unformatted strings.
-
- <li>The <code>tack</code> program is now distributed separately
- from ncurses.
- </ul>
-
- <li>terminal database
- <ul>
- <li>added entries:
- <ul>
- <li><code>Eterm-256color</code>,
- <code>Eterm-88color</code> and
- <code>rxvt-88color</code>
- <li><code>aterm</code>
- <li><code>konsole-256color</code>
- <li><code>mrxvt</code>
- <li><code>screen.mlterm</code>
- <li><code>screen.rxvt</code>
- <li><code>teraterm4.59</code> is now the primary primary
- teraterm entry, renamed original to
- <code>teraterm2.3</code>
- <li><code>9term</code> terminal
- <li>Newbury Data entries
- </ul>
- <li>updated/improved entries:
- <ul>
- <li><code>gnome</code> to version 2.22.3
- <li><code>h19</code>, <code>z100</code>
- <li><code>konsole</code> to version 1.6.6
- <li><code>mlterm</code>, <code>mlterm+pcfkeys</code>
- <li><code>xterm</code>, and building-blocks for function-keys
- to <a href="http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.log.html#xterm_230">xterm patch #230</a>.
- </ul>
- </ul>
-</ul>
-Major bug fixes:
-<ul>
- <li>add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined
- capabilities
- (this is <em>needed</em> for
- current <code>konsole</code> terminfo entry).
-
- <li>modify <code>mk-1st.awk</code> so the generated makefile rules for
- linking or installing shared libraries do not first remove the
- library, in case it is in use, e.g., <code>libncurses.so</code> by
- <code>/bin/sh</code>.
-
- <li>correct check for notimeout() in wgetch().
-
- <li>fix a sign-extension bug in infocmp's repair_acsc() function.
-
- <li>change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line.
-
- <li>make Ada95 demo_panels() example work.
-
- <li>fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line.
-
- <li>fill in extended-color pair to make colors work
- for wide-characters using extended-colors.
-
- <li>improve refresh of window on top of multi-column characters,
- taking into account split characters on left/right window
- boundaries.
-
- <li>modify <code>win_wchnstr()</code> to ensure that only a base cell
- is returned for each multi-column character.
-
- <li>improve <code>waddch()</code> and <code>winsch()</code> handling of
- EILSEQ from <code>mbrtowc()</code> by using <code>unctrl()</code>
- to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append further bytes
- to make up a valid sequence.
-
- <li>restore <code>curs_set()</code> state after
- <code>endwin()</code>/<code>refresh()</code>
-
- <li>modify <code>keyname()</code> to use "^X" form only if
- <code>meta()</code> has been called, or if <code>keyname()</code>
- is called without initializing curses, e.g., via
- <code>initscr()</code> or <code>newterm()</code>.
-
- <li>modify <code>unctrl()</code> to check codes in 128-255 range versus
- <code>isprint()</code>.
- If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
- sequence.
-
- <li>improve <code>resizeterm()</code> by moving ripped-off lines, and
- repainting the soft-keys.
-
- <li>modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
- in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris.
-
- <li>use <code>NCURSES_MOUSE_MASK()</code> in definition of
- <code>BUTTON_RELEASE()</code>, etc., to make those work properly
- with the <code>--enable-ext-mouse</code> configuration
-
- <li>correct some functions in Ada95 binding which were using return
- value from C where none was returned.
-
- <li>reviewed/fixed issues reported by Coverity and Klocwork tools.

+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>improvements based on new checks in tic:</li>
+
+ <li style="list-style: none; display: inline">
<ul>
- <li>new options:
- <dl>
-
- <dt>--disable-big-strings
- <dd>control whether static string tables are generated as single
- large strings (to improve startup performance), or as array
- of individual strings.
-
- <dt>--disable-relink
- <dd>control whether shared libraries are relinked (during install)
- when rpath is enabled.
-
- <dt>--disable-tic-depends
- <dd>make explicit whether tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw
- library.
-
- <dt>--enable-mixed-case
- <dd>override the configure script's check if the filesystem
- supports mixed-case filenames.
- This allows one to control how the terminal database
- maps to the filesystem.
- For filesystems that do not support mixed-case, the library
- uses generate 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the
- lower-level of the filesystem terminfo database
-
- <dt>--enable-reentrant
- <dd>builds a different flavor of the ncurses library (ncursest)
- which improves reentrant use of the
- library by reducing global and static variables
- (see the "--with-pthread" option for the threaded support).
-
- <dt>--enable-weak-symbols
- <dd>use weak-symbols for linking to the POSIX thread library,
- and use the same soname for the ncurses shared library
- as the normal library (caveat: the ABI is for the threaded
- library, which makes global data accessed via functions).
-
- <dt>--with-pthread
- <dd>build with the POSIX thread library (tested with AIX,
- Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, HPUX, IRIX64, Solaris, Tru64).
-
- <dt>--with-ticlib
- <dd>build/install the tic-support functions in a separate library
-
- </dl>
-
- <li>improved options:
- <dl>
-
- <dt>--enable-ext-colors
- <dd>requires the wide-character configuration.
-
- <dt>--with-chtype
- <dd>ignore option value "unsigned" is always added to
- the type in curses.h; do the same for --with-mmask-t.
-
- <dt>--with-dmalloc
- <dd>build-fix for redefinition of <code>strndup</code>.
-
- <dt>--with-hashed-db
- <dd>accepts a parameter which is the install-prefix of a given
- Berkeley Database.
-
- <dt>--with-hashed-db
- <dd>the $LIBS environment variable overrides the search for the db
- library.
-
- <dt>--without-hashed-db
- <dd>assumed when "--disable-database" is used.
-
- </dl>
-
- </ul>
-
- <li>other configure/build issues:

-<H1>Features of Ncurses</H1>
-
-The ncurses package is fully compatible with SVr4 (System V Release 4) curses:
-
-<UL>
-<LI>All 257 of the SVr4 calls have been implemented (and are documented).
-<LI>Full support for SVr4 curses features including keyboard mapping, color,
-forms-drawing with ACS characters, and automatic recognition of keypad
-and function keys.
-<LI>An emulation of the SVr4 panels library, supporting
-a stack of windows with backing store, is included.
-<LI>An emulation of the SVr4 menus library, supporting
-a uniform but flexible interface for menu programming, is included.
-<LI>An emulation of the SVr4 form library, supporting
-data collection through on-screen forms, is included.
-<LI>Binary terminfo entries generated by the ncurses tic(1) implementation
-are bit-for-bit-compatible with the entry format SVr4 curses uses.
-<LI>The utilities have options to allow you to filter terminfo
-entries for use with less capable <STRONG>curses</STRONG>/<STRONG>terminfo</STRONG>
-versions such as the HP/UX and AIX ports.</UL>
-
-The ncurses package also has many useful extensions over SVr4:
-
-<UL>
-<LI>The API is 8-bit clean and base-level conformant with the X/OPEN curses
-specification, XSI curses (that is, it implements all BASE level features,
-and most EXTENDED features).
-It includes many function calls not supported under SVr4 curses
-(but portability of all
-calls is documented so you can use the SVr4 subset only).
-<LI>Unlike SVr3 curses, ncurses can write to the rightmost-bottommost corner
-of the screen if your terminal has an insert-character capability.
-<LI>Ada95 and C++ bindings.
-<LI>Support for mouse event reporting with X Window xterm
-and FreeBSD and OS/2 console windows.
-<LI>Extended mouse support via Alessandro Rubini's gpm package.
-<LI>The function <CODE>wresize()</CODE> allows you to resize windows, preserving
-their data.
-<LI>The function <CODE>use_default_colors()</CODE> allows you to
-use the terminal's default colors for the default color pair,
-achieving the effect of transparent colors.
-<LI>The functions <CODE>keyok()</CODE>
-and <CODE>define_key()</CODE> allow
-you to better control the use of function keys,
-e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE,
-or by defining more than one control sequence to map to a given key code.
-<LI>Support for 256-color terminals, such as modern xterm, when configured
-using the <code>--enable-ext-colors</code> option.
-<LI>Support for 16-color terminals, such as aixterm and modern xterm.
-<LI>Better cursor-movement optimization. The package now features a
-cursor-local-movement computation more efficient than either BSD's
-or System V's.
-<LI>Super hardware scrolling support. The screen-update code incorporates
-a novel, simple, and cheap algorithm that enables it to make optimal
-use of hardware scrolling, line-insertion, and line-deletion
-for screen-line movements. This algorithm is more powerful than
-the 4.4BSD curses quickch() routine.
-<LI>Real support for terminals with the magic-cookie glitch. The
-screen-update code will refrain from drawing a highlight if the magic-
-cookie unattributed spaces required just before the beginning and
-after the end would step on a non-space character. It will
-automatically shift highlight boundaries when doing so would make it
-possible to draw the highlight without changing the visual appearance
-of the screen.
-<LI>It is possible to generate the library with a list of pre-loaded
-fallback entries linked to it so that it can serve those terminal types even
-when no terminfo tree or termcap file is accessible (this may be useful
-for support of screen-oriented programs that must run in single-user mode).
-<LI>The tic(1)/captoinfo utility provided with ncurses has the
-ability to translate many termcaps from the XENIX, IBM and
-AT&T extension sets.
-<LI>A BSD-like tset(1) utility is provided.
-<LI>The ncurses library and utilities will automatically read terminfo
-entries from $HOME/.terminfo if it exists, and compile to that directory
-if it exists and the user has no write access to the system directory.
-This feature makes it easier for users to have personal terminfo entries
-without giving up access to the system terminfo directory.
-<LI>You may specify a path of directories to search for compiled
-descriptions with the environment variable TERMINFO_DIRS (this
-generalizes the feature provided by TERMINFO under stock System V.)
-<LI>In terminfo source files, use capabilities may refer not just to
-other entries in the same source file (as in System V) but also to
-compiled entries in either the system terminfo directory or the user's
-$HOME/.terminfo directory.
-<LI>A script (<STRONG>capconvert</STRONG>) is provided to help BSD users
-transition from termcap to terminfo. It gathers the information in a
-TERMCAP environment variable and/or a ~/.termcap local entries file
-and converts it to an equivalent local terminfo tree under $HOME/.terminfo.
-<LI>Automatic fallback to the /etc/termcap file can be compiled in
-when it is not possible to build a terminfo tree. This feature is neither
-fast nor cheap, you don't want to use it unless you have to,
-but it's there.
-<LI>The table-of-entries utility <STRONG>toe</STRONG> makes it easy for users to
-see exactly what terminal types are available on the system.
-<LI>The library meets the XSI requirement that every macro entry
-point have a corresponding function which may be linked (and will be
-prototype-checked) if the macro definition is disabled with
-<CODE>#undef</CODE>.
-<LI>An HTML "Introduction to Programming with NCURSES" document provides
-a narrative introduction to the curses programming interface.
-</UL>
-
-<H1>State of the Package</H1>
-
-Numerous bugs present in earlier versions have been fixed; the
-library is far more reliable than it used to be. Bounds checking in many
-`dangerous' entry points has been improved. The code is now type-safe
-according to gcc -Wall. The library has been checked for malloc leaks and
-arena corruption by the Purify memory-allocation tester.<P>

+ <h2>Major bug fixes</h2>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>ncurses library
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>wide character support
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>modify length returned by <code>getcchar</code> to
+ count the trailing null which is documented in
+ X/Open.</li>
+
+ <li>fix an infinite recursion when adding a
+ legacy-coding 8-bit value using
+ <code>insch</code>.</li>
+
+ <li>improve a workaround in adding wide-characters,
+ when a control character is found. The library uses
+ <code>unctrl</code> to obtain a printable version of
+ the control character, but was not passing color or
+ video attributes.</li>
+
+ <li>modify <code>waddch_literal</code>, updating
+ line-pointer after a multicolumn character is found to
+ not fit on the current row, and wrapping is done. Since
+ the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped
+ multicolumn character was written to the beginning of
+ the current row.</li>
+
+ <li>fixes in <code>wins_nwstr</code> and related
+ functions to ensure that special characters, i.e.,
+ control characters are handled properly with the
+ wide-character configuration.</li>
+
+ <li>correct internal <code>_nc_insert_ch</code> to use
+ <code>_nc_insert_wch</code> when inserting wide
+ characters, since the <code>wins_wch</code> function
+ that it used did not update the cursor position.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>mouse
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>add check if <code>Gpm_Open</code> returns a -2,
+ e.g., for "xterm". This is normally suppressed but can
+ be overridden using <code>$NCURSES_GPM_TERMS</code>.
+ Ensure that <code>Gpm_Close</code> is called in this
+ case.</li>
+
+ <li>add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if
+ GPM returns a zero, indicating that the connection is
+ closed.</li>
+
+ <li>modify <code>getmouse</code> to act as its
+ documentation implied, returning on each call the
+ preceding event until none are left. When no more
+ events remain, it will return <code>ERR</code>.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>miscellaneous
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>improve handling of color-pairs embedded in
+ attributes for the extended-colors configuration.</li>
+
+ <li>add check for failure to open hashed-database
+ needed for db4.6.</li>
+
+ <li>modify use of <code>$CC</code> environment variable
+ which is defined by X/Open as a curses feature, to
+ ignore it if it is not a single character.</li>
+
+ <li>modify declaration of <code>cur_term</code> when
+ broken-linker is used, but enable-reentrant is not, to
+ match pre-5.7.</li>
+
+ <li>correct limit-checks in <code>derwin</code>.</li>
+
+ <li>remove old check in <code>mvderwin</code> which
+ prevented moving a derived window whose origin happened
+ to coincide with its parent's origin.</li>
+
+ <li>correct limit-checks in <code>newwin</code>, to
+ ensure that windows have nonzero size.</li>
+
+ <li>modify <code>set_curterm</code> to make
+ broken-linker configuration work with changes from
+ 20090228.</li>
+
+ <li>modify <code>wgetch</code> to ensure it checks
+ <code>SIGWINCH</code> when it gets an error in
+ non-blocking mode.</li>
+
+ <li>correct limit-check in <code>wredrawln</code>,
+ accounting for <code>begy</code>/<code>begx</code>
+ values.</li>
+
+ <li>fix a null-pointer check in
+ <code>_nc_format_slks</code> in lib_slk.c, from
+ 20070704 changes.</li>
+
+ <li>correct translation of "^" in
+ <code>_nc_infotocap</code>, used to transform terminfo
+ to termcap strings.</li>
+
+ <li>modify <code>_nc_wgetch</code> to check for a -1 in
+ the fifo, e.g., after a <code>SIGWINCH</code>, and
+ discard that value, to avoid confusing
+ application.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>other libraries
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
+ <code>field_buffer</code>, which stopped at the end of the
+ first row due to filling of unused entries in a cchar_t
+ array with nulls.</li>
+
+ <li>correct buffer-size after internal resizing of
+ wide-character <code>set_field_buffer</code>, broken in

+
+ <h1>Features of Ncurses</h1>The ncurses package is fully
+ compatible with SVr4 (System V Release 4) curses:
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>All 257 of the SVr4 calls have been implemented (and are
+ documented).</li>
+
+ <li>Full support for SVr4 curses features including keyboard
+ mapping, color, forms-drawing with ACS characters, and
+ automatic recognition of keypad and function keys.</li>
+
+ <li>An emulation of the SVr4 panels library, supporting a stack
+ of windows with backing store, is included.</li>
+
+ <li>An emulation of the SVr4 menus library, supporting a
+ uniform but flexible interface for menu programming, is
+ included.</li>
+
+ <li>An emulation of the SVr4 form library, supporting data
+ collection through on-screen forms, is included.</li>
+
+ <li>Binary terminfo entries generated by the ncurses tic(1)
+ implementation are bit-for-bit-compatible with the entry format
+ SVr4 curses uses.</li>
+
+ <li>The utilities have options to allow you to filter terminfo
+ entries for use with less capable
+ <strong>curses</strong>/<strong>terminfo</strong> versions such
+ as the HP/UX and AIX ports.</li>
+ </ul>The ncurses package also has many useful extensions over
+ SVr4:
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>The API is 8-bit clean and base-level conformant with the
+ X/OPEN curses specification, XSI curses (that is, it implements
+ all BASE level features, and most EXTENDED features). It
+ includes many function calls not supported under SVr4 curses
+ (but portability of all calls is documented so you can use the
+ SVr4 subset only).</li>
+
+ <li>Unlike SVr3 curses, ncurses can write to the
+ rightmost-bottommost corner of the screen if your terminal has
+ an insert-character capability.</li>
+
+ <li>Ada95 and C++ bindings.</li>
+
+ <li>Support for mouse event reporting with X Window xterm and
+ FreeBSD and OS/2 console windows.</li>
+
+ <li>Extended mouse support via Alessandro Rubini's gpm
+ package.</li>
+
+ <li>The function <code>wresize</code> allows you to resize
+ windows, preserving their data.</li>
+
+ <li>The function <code>use_default_colors</code> allows you to
+ use the terminal's default colors for the default color pair,
+ achieving the effect of transparent colors.</li>
+
+ <li>The functions <code>keyok</code> and
+ <code>define_key</code> allow you to better control the use of
+ function keys, e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE, or by
+ defining more than one control sequence to map to a given key
+ code.</li>
+
+ <li>Support for 256-color terminals, such as modern xterm, when
+ configured using the <code>--enable-ext-colors</code>
+ option.</li>
+
+ <li>Support for 16-color terminals, such as <em>aixterm</em>
+ and <em>modern xterm</em>.</li>
+
+ <li>Better cursor-movement optimization. The package now
+ features a cursor-local-movement computation more efficient
+ than either BSD's or System V's.</li>
+
+ <li>Super hardware scrolling support. The screen-update code
+ incorporates a novel, simple, and cheap algorithm that enables
+ it to make optimal use of hardware scrolling, line-insertion,
+ and line-deletion for screen-line movements. This algorithm is
+ more powerful than the 4.4BSD curses <code>quickch</code>
+ routine.</li>
+
+ <li>Real support for terminals with the magic-cookie glitch.
+ The screen-update code will refrain from drawing a highlight if
+ the magic- cookie unattributed spaces required just before the
+ beginning and after the end would step on a non-space
+ character. It will automatically shift highlight boundaries
+ when doing so would make it possible to draw the highlight
+ without changing the visual appearance of the screen.</li>
+
+ <li>It is possible to generate the library with a list of
+ pre-loaded fallback entries linked to it so that it can serve
+ those terminal types even when no terminfo tree or termcap file
+ is accessible (this may be useful for support of
+ screen-oriented programs that must run in single-user
+ mode).</li>
+
+ <li>The tic(1)/captoinfo utility provided with ncurses has the
+ ability to translate many termcaps from the XENIX, IBM and
+ AT&T extension sets.</li>
+
+ <li>A BSD-like tset(1) utility is provided.</li>
+
+ <li>The ncurses library and utilities will automatically read
+ terminfo entries from $HOME/.terminfo if it exists, and compile
+ to that directory if it exists and the user has no write access
+ to the system directory. This feature makes it easier for users
+ to have personal terminfo entries without giving up access to
+ the system terminfo directory.</li>
+
+ <li>You may specify a path of directories to search for
+ compiled descriptions with the environment variable
+ TERMINFO_DIRS (this generalizes the feature provided by
+ TERMINFO under stock System V.)</li>
+
+ <li>In terminfo source files, use capabilities may refer not
+ just to other entries in the same source file (as in System V)
+ but also to compiled entries in either the system terminfo
+ directory or the user's $HOME/.terminfo directory.</li>
+
+ <li>A script (<strong>capconvert</strong>) is provided to help
+ BSD users transition from termcap to terminfo. It gathers the
+ information in a TERMCAP environment variable and/or a
+ ~/.termcap local entries file and converts it to an equivalent
+ local terminfo tree under $HOME/.terminfo.</li>
+
+ <li>Automatic fallback to the /etc/termcap file can be compiled
+ in when it is not possible to build a terminfo tree. This
+ feature is neither fast nor cheap, you don't want to use it
+ unless you have to, but it's there.</li>
+
+ <li>The table-of-entries utility <strong>toe</strong> makes it
+ easy for users to see exactly what terminal types are available
+ on the system.</li>
+
+ <li>The library meets the XSI requirement that every macro
+ entry point have a corresponding function which may be linked
+ (and will be prototype-checked) if the macro definition is
+ disabled with <code>#undef</code>.</li>
+
+ <li>An HTML "Introduction to Programming with NCURSES" document
+ provides a narrative introduction to the curses programming
+ interface.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h1>State of the Package</h1>Numerous bugs present in earlier
+ versions have been fixed; the library is far more reliable than
+ it used to be. Bounds checking in many `dangerous' entry points
+ has been improved. The code is now type-safe according to gcc
+ -Wall. The library has been checked for malloc leaks and arena
+ corruption by the Purify memory-allocation tester.
+
+ <p>The ncurses code has been tested with a wide variety of
+ applications including (versions starting with those noted):</p>
