marked as alternate-character set, to handle a case where the
character in the cell does not correspond to any of the ASCII

update of cursor position in non-public fields, to simply disable
output in this case (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20180414).

sleep to work around tools which use whole-second timestamps, e.g.,
in utime() rather than the actual file system resolution.
+ add "--disable-touching" option for using "install -p" option during
the install, e.g., so that header-files have a predictable timestamp.

a use-name is invalid syntax (report by Chung-Yi Lin).
+ clarify in manual pages that vwprintw and vwscanw are obsolete,
not part of X/Open Curses since 2007.
+ use "const" in some prototypes rather than NCURSES_CONST where X/Open
Curses was updated to do this, e.g., wscanw, newterm, the terminfo
interface. Also use "const" for consistency in the termcap
interface, which was withdrawn by X/Open Curses in Issue 5 (2007).
As of Issue 7, X/Open Curses still lacks "const" for certain return
values, e.g., keyname().
+ improve terminfo write/read by modifying the fourth item of the
extended header to denote the number of valid strings in the extended
string table (prompted by a comment in unibilium's sources).

avoid expansion of "CUR" in trace.
+ improve a few lintian warnings in test-packages.

verifying that the address is valid, i.e., for weak symbols
(report/patch by Werner Fink).
+ modify generated terminfo.5 to not use "expand" and related width
on the last column of tables, making layout on wide terminals look
better (adapted from patch by Kir Kolyshkin).
+ add a category to report_offsets, e.g., "w" for wide-character, "t"
for threads to make the report more readable. Reorganized the
structures reported to make the categories more apparent.
+ simplify some ifdef's for extended-colors.
+ add NCURSES_GLOBALS and NCURSES_PRESCREEN to report_offsets, to show
how similar the different tinfo configurations are.
+ modify _nc_resolve_uses2() to detect incompatible types when merging
a "use=" clause of extended capabilities. The problem was seen in a
defective terminfo integrated from simpleterm sources in 20171111,
compounded by repair in 20180121.

+ minor reordering of options in configure script to make the threaded
and reentrant options distinct from the other extensions which are
normally enabled.
+ minor fixes to test/*.h to make them idempotent.

> merge branch begun April 2, 2017 which provides these features:
+ support read/write new binary-format for terminfo which stores
numeric capabilities as a signed 32-bit integer. The test programs
such as picsmap, ncurses were created or updated during 2017 to use
this feature.
+ the new format is written by the wide-character configuration of
tic when it finds a numeric capability larger than 32767.
+ other applications such as infocmp built with the wide-character
ncurses library work as expected.
+ applications built with the "narrow" (8-bit) configuration will
read the new format, but will limit those extended values to 32767.
+ in either wide/narrow configuration, the structure defined in
term.h still uses signed 16-bit values.
+ because it is incompatible with the legacy (mid-1980s) binary format,
a new magic value is provided for the "file" program.
+ the term.5 manual page is updated to describe this new format.
+ the limit on file-size for compiled terminfo is increased in the
wide-character configuration to 32768.
+ build-fix in picsmap.c for stdint.h existence.
+ add --disable-stripping option to configure scripts.
+ modify ncurses-examples to install test-scripts in the data directory.
+ work around tool-breakage in Debian 9 and later by invoking
gprconfig to specify the C compiler to be used by gnatmake,
and conditionally suppressing Library_Options line for static
libraries.
+ bump the compat level for test-packages to 7, i.e., Debian 5.
+ fixes for writing extended color pairs in putwin.
+ modify test/savescreen.c to add test patterns that exercise 88-,
256-, etc., colors.
+ modify configure option --with-build-cc, adding clang, c89 and c99
as possible default values.
+ modify ncurses-examples configure script to use pkg-config for the
extra form/menu/panel libraries, to be more consistent with the
handling of the curses/ncurses library.
+ modify test-packages for mingw to supply "pc" files.
+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to list -lpthread as a private library when
configured to access it via weak symbols.
+ simplify gen-pkgconfig.in, adding -ltinfo without the special linker
checks because some versions of the linker simply hard-code the
behavior.
+ update URLs for ncurses website to use https.
+ modify CF_CURSES_LIBS to fill in $cf_nculib_root in case the
ncurses-examples are built with a system ncurses that lacks the
standard "curses" symbolic link, as done by SuSE. The symbol is
needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and
would be set properly using the options "--with-screen", etc.
+ generate misc/*.pc with "all" rule, as done for "sources" rule
(report by Jeffrey Walton).
+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with Fedora27, adding check for
reset_color_pairs() -- not yet in Fedora's package.
+ consistently add $CFLAGS to $MK_SHARED_LIB symbol in configure
script when the latter happens to use the C compiler rather than
directly using the loader (report by Jeffrey Walton).
+ set ABI for upcoming 6.1 release in "*.map" files. While there are
some remaining internals to apply, no ABI-related changes are
anticipated.
+ add configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
conflict with Redhat packages versus test-packages.
+ modify ncurses-examples to quiet const-warnings when building with
PDCurses.
+ modify toe to not exit if unable to read a terminal description,
e.g., if there is a permission problem.
+ minor fix for progs/toe.c, using _nc_free_termtype2.
+ assign 0 to pointer in _nc_tgetent_leak() after freeing it. Also
avoid reusing pointer from previous successful call to tgetent
if the latest call is unsuccessful (patch by Michael Schroeder,
OpenSuSE #1070450).
+ minor fix for test/tracemunch, initialize $awaiting variable.
+ repair template in test/package/ncurses-examples.spec (cf: 20171111).
+ improve tic's warning about the number of parameters tparm might use
for u1-u9 by making a special case for u6.
+ improve curs_attr.3x discussion of color pairs.
+ modify misc/ncurses-config.in to make output with --includedir
consistent with --cflags, i.e., when --disable-overwrite option was
configured the output should show the subdirectory where headers
are.
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to suppress macros when calling an "implemented"
function in link_test.c
+ updated ftp-url used in test-packages, etc.
+ modify order of -pie/-shared options in configure script in case
LDFLAGS uses "-pie", working around a defect or limitation in the GNU
linker (prompted by patch by Yogesh Prasad, forwarded by Jay Shah).
+ add entry in man_db.renames for user_caps.5
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid tracing result from getstr/getnstr
before initialized.
+ add "-a" aspect-ratio option to picsmap.
+ add configure check for default path of rgb.txt, used in picsmap.
+ modify _nc_write_entry() to truncate too-long filename (report by
Hosein Askari, Debian #882620).
+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with NetBSD curses:
+ it lacks the use_env() function.
+ it lacks libpanel; a recent change used the wrong ifdef symbol.
+ add a macro for is_linetouched() and adjust the function's return
value to make it possible for most applications to check for an
error-return (report by Midolikawa H).
+ additional manpage cleanup.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+ add a note to curs_addch.3x on portability.
+ add a note to curs_pad.3x on the origin and portability of pads.

+ add a "-d" option to picsmap for default-colors.
+ modify old terminology entry and a few other terminal emulators to
account for xon -TD
+ correct sgr string for tmux, which used screen's "standout" code
rather than the standard code (patch by Roman Kagan)
+ correct sgr/sgr0 strings in a few other cases reported by tic, making
those correspond to the non-sgr settings where they differ, but
otherwise use ECMA-48 consistently:
jaixterm, aixterm, att5420_2, att4424, att500, decansi, d410-7b,
dm80, hpterm, emu-220, hp2, iTerm2.app, mterm-ansi, ncrvt100an,
st-0.7, vi603, vwmterm -TD
+ build-fix for diagnostics warning in lib_mouse.c for pre-5.0 versions
of gcc which did not recognize the diagnostic "push" pragma (patch by
Vassili Courzakis).

dots_xcurses.c
+ add z/Z zoom feature to test/ncurses.c C/c screens.
+ add '<' and '>' commands to test/ncurses.c S/s screens, to better
test off-by-ones in the overlap/copywin functions.

(report by Midolikawa H).
+ fix typo in a few places for "improvements" (patch by Sven Joachim).
+ clear the other half of a double-width character on which a line
drawing character is drawn.
+ make test/ncurses.c "s" test easier to understand which subtests are
available; add a "S" wide-character overlap test-screen.
+ modify test/ncurses.c C/c tests to allow for extended color pairs.
+ add endwin() call in error-returns from test/ncurses.c omitted in
recent redesign of its menu (cf: 20170923).
+ improve install of hashed-db by removing the ".db" file as done for
directory-tree terminal databases.
+ repair a few overlooked items in include/ncurses_defs from recent
port/refactoring of test-programs (cf: 20170909).
+ add test/padview.c, to compare pads with direct updates in view.c
+ modify test/view.c to expand tabs using the ncurses library rather
than in the test-program.
+ remove very old SIGWINCH example in test/view.c, just use KEY_RESIZE.
+ add -T, -e, -f -m options to "dots" test-programs.
+ fix a few typos in usage-messages for test-programs.
+ minor cleanup to test/view.c:
+ eliminate "-n" option by simply reading the whole file.

+ add check in tput for init/reset operands to ensure those use a
terminal.

+ add test/dots_xcurses.c to illustrate a different approach used for
extended colors which can be contrasted with dots_curses.c.
+ add a check in tic to note when a description uses non-mandatory
delays without xon_xoff. This is not an error, but some descriptions
for a terminal emulator may use the combination incorrectly.
+ modify "-T" option of clear and tput to call use_tioctl() to obtain
the operating system's notion of the screensize if possible.
+ review/repair some exit-codes for tput, making usage-message exit
with 2 rather than 1, and a failure to open terminal 4+errno.
+ amend check in tput, tabs and clear to allow those to use the
database-only features in cron if a -T option gives a suitable
terminal name (report by Lauri Tirkkonen).
+ correct an ifdef in test/ncurses.c for systems with soft-keys but
not slk_color().
+ regenerate man-html documentation.

+ modify several test programs to reflect that ncurses honors existing
signal handlers in initscr(), while other implementations do not.
+ modify bs.c to make it easier to quit.
+ change ncurses-examples to use attr_t vs chtype to follow X/Open
documentation more closely since Solaris xpg4-curses uses different
values for WA_xxx vs A_xxx that rely on attr_t being an unsigned
short. Tru64 aka OSF1, HPUX, AIX did as ncurses does, equating the
two sets.
+ modify menu for test/ncurses.c to fit on 24-line screen.
+ build-fix for configure --with-caps=uwin

which was inconsistent with the normal implementation.
+ save/restore cursor position in Undo_Justification(), matching
behavior of Buffer_To_Window() (report by Leon Winter).
+ modify test/knight to provide the "slow" solution for small screens
using "R", noting that Warnsdorf's method is easily done with "a".
+ modify several test-programs which call use_default_colors() to
consistently do this only if "-d" option is given.
+ additional changes to test with non-standard variants of curses:
+ modify a loop limit in firework.c to work around absense of limit
checks in some libraries.
+ fill the last row of a window with "?" in firstlast if waddch does
not return ERR on the lower-right corner.

+ fix a regression in test/configure (cf: 20170826).
+ amend change for endwin-state for better consistency with the older
logic (report/patch by Jeb Rosen, cf: 20170722).

(Debian #873746). Make similar fixes in other parts of dump_entry.c
and tput.c
+ fixes for "iterm2" (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
+ corrected a warning from tic about keys which are the same, to skip
over missing/cancelled values.
+ add check in tic for unnecessary use of "2" to denote a shifted
special key.
+ improve checks in trim_sgr0, comp_parse.c and parse_entry.c, for
cancelled string capabilities.
+ add check in _nc_parse_entry() for invalid entry name, setting the
name to "invalid" to avoid problems storing entries.
+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
+ add a check in comp_scan.c to handle the special case where a
nontext file ending with a NUL rather than newline is given to tic
as input (Redhat #1484274).
+ allow for cancelled capabilities in _nc_save_str (Redhat #1484276).
+ add validity checks for "use=" target in _nc_parse_entry (Redhat
#1484284).
+ check for invalid strings in postprocess_termcap (Redhat #1484285)
+ reset secondary pointers on EOF in next_char() (Redhat #1484287).
+ guard _nc_safe_strcpy() and _nc_safe_strcat() against calls using
cancelled strings (Redhat #1484291).
+ correct typo in curs_memleaks.3x (Sven Joachim).
+ improve test/configure checks for some curses variants not based on
X/Open Curses.
+ add options for test/configure to disable checks for form, menu and
panel libraries.

+ add "iterm2" entry (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
+ regenerate llib-* files.
+ regenerate HTML manpages.
+ improve picsmap test-program:
+ reduce memory used for tsearch
+ add report in log file showing cumulative color coverage.
+ add -x option to clear/tput to make the E3 extension optional
(cf: 20130622).
+ add options -T and -V to clear command for compatibility with tput.
+ add usage message to clear command (Debian #371855).
+ improve usage messages for tset and tput.
+ minor fixes to "RDGB" extension and reset_color_pairs().
+ improve description of -R option in infocmp manual page (report by
Stephane Chazelas).
+ add reset_color_pairs() function.
+ add user_caps.5 manual page to document the terminfo extensions used
by ncurses.
+ improve build scripts, using SIGQUIT vs SIGTRAP; add other configure
script fixes from work on xterm, lynx and tack.
+ modify install-rule for ncurses-examples to put the data files in
/usr/share/ncurses-examples
+ improve tracemunch, by changing address-parameters of add_wch(),
color_content() and pair_content() to dummy parameters.
+ minor optimization to _nc_change_pair, to return quickly when the
current screen is marked for clearing.
+ in-progress changes to improve performance of test/picsmap.c for
loading image files.
+ modify allocation for SCREEN's color-pair table to start small, grow
on demand up to the existing limit.
+ add "RGB" extension capability for direct-color support, use this to
improve color_content().
+ improve picsmap test-program:
+ if no palette file is needed, attempt to load one based on $TERM,
checking first in the current directory, then by adding ".dat"
suffix, and finally in the data-directory, e.g.,
/usr/share/ncurses-examples
+ add "-l" option for logging
+ add "-d" option for debugging
+ add "-s" option for stepping automatically through list of images,
with time delay.
+ use tsearch to improve time for loading color table for images.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
