feature, which makes libraries generated using libtool compatible
with the standard builds of ncurses.
+ updated test/configure to match configure script macros.

+ improve CF_FIND_LINKAGE logic for the case where a function is
found in predefined libraries.

+ minor improvement to tic's checking of similar SGR's to allow for the
most common case of SGR 0.
+ 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.
+ change order of lookup in progs/tput.c, looking for terminfo data
first. This fixes a confusion between termcap "sg" and terminfo

discussion with Fabian Groffen in GenToo #206201).
+ add test/xterm-256color.dat
+ quiet some pedantic gcc warnings.

terminal-driver. That is used in 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.
+ completed integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer in ncurses
library (some work remains for forms library).

test/test_addwstr.c
test/test_addchstr.c
test/test_add_wchstr.c
+ correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when

change the size of cchar_t, and would be ABI-incompatible.
+ modify test-programs, e.g,. test/view.c, to address subtle
differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX getcchar() return
values.

dependency for tinfo library (patch by Charles Wilson).
+ improve comparison of program-names when checking for linked flavors
such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix (reports by Charles
Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing

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

+ remove undeveloped feature in ncurses-config.in for setting
prefix variable.
+ recent change to ncurses-config.in did not take into account the
--disable-overwrite option, which sets $includedir to the
subdirectory and using just that for a -I option does not work - fix
(report by Frederic L W Meunier).
+ 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.
+ fix an overlooked change from $AR_OPTS to $ARFLAGS in mk-1st.awk,
used in static libraries (report by Marty Jack).
+ add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris (report by Dagobert Michelsen).
+ add configure --with-pkg-config and --enable-pc-files options, along
with misc/gen-pkgconfig.in which can be used to generate ".pc" files
for pkg-config (request by Jan Engelhardt).

+ add check for failure to open hashed-database needed for db4.6
(GenToo #245370).
+ corrected --without-manpages option; previous change only suppressed
the auxiliary rules install.man and uninstall.man
+ add case for FreeMINT to configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE (patch from
GenToo #250454).
+ fixes from NetBSD port at
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/patches
patch-ac (build-fix for DragonFly)
patch-ae (use INSTALL_SCRIPT for installing misc/ncurses*-config).
+ improve configure script macros CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_LIBRARY_PATH
by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS values to the
search-lists.
+ correct title string for keybound manpage (patch by Frederic Culot,
OpenBSD documentation/6019),
+ move del_curterm() call from _nc_freeall() to _nc_leaks_tinfo() to
work for progs/clear, progs/tabs, etc.
+ correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character
set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran).
+ add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather
than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that
ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue
was xterm's alternate screen feature).
+ add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a
zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717,
adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault).
+ improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control
character is found. The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to
obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not
passing color or video attributes.
+ improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl() more consistently to
display meta-characters.
+ turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h
+ add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD
+ correct use of key_name() in test/ncurses.c 'A' test, which only
displays wide-characters, not key-codes since 20070612 (report by
Ricardo Cantu).
+ change _nc_has_mouse() to has_mouse(), reflect its use in C++ and
Ada95 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ document in TO-DO an issue with Cygwin's package for GNAT (report
by Mike Dennison).
+ improve error-checking of command-line options in "tabs" program.
+ change several terminfo entries to make consistent use of ANSI
clear-all-tabs -TD
+ add "tabs" program (prompted by Debian #502260).
+ add configure --without-manpages option (request by Mike Frysinger).
