+ tidy up comments about hardcoded 256color palette (report by
Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
+ add putty-noapp entry, and amend putty entry to use application mode
for better consistency with xterm (report by Leonardo Brondani
Schenkel) -TD
+ modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to trace wide-characters
as a whole rather than their multibyte equivalents.
+ minor fix in wadd_wchnstr() to ensure that each cell has nonzero
width.
+ move PUTC_INIT calls next to wcrtomb calls, to avoid carry-over of
error status when processing Unicode values which are not mapped.
+ modify ncurses c/C color test-screens to take advantage of wide
screens, reducing the number of lines used for 88- and 256-colors.
+ minor refinement to check versus ncv to ignore two parameters of
SGR 38 and 48 when those come from color-capabilities.
+ add check in tic for use of bold, etc., video attributes in the
color capabilities, accounting whether the feature is listed in ncv.
+ add check in tic for conflict between ritm, rmso, rmul versus sgr0.
+ add a paragraph to curs_getch.3x discussing key naming (discussion
with James Crippen).
+ amend workaround for Solaris vs line-drawing to take the configure
check into account.
+ add a configure check for wcwidth() versus the ncurses line-drawing
characters, to use in special-casing systems such as Solaris.
+ improve CF_XOPEN_CURSES macro used in test/configure, to define as
needed NCURSES_WIDECHAR for platforms where _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
does not work. Also modified the test program to ensure that if
building with ncurses, that the cchar_t type is checked, since that
normally is since 20111030 ifdef'd depending on this test.
+ improve 20121222 workaround for broken acs, letting Solaris "work"
in spite of its m.isconfigured wcwidth which marks all of the line
drawing characters as double-width.
+ update form_cursor.3x, form_post.3x, menu_attributes.3x to list
function names in NAME section (patch by Jason McIntyre).
+ minor fixes to manpage NAME/SYNOPSIS sections to consistently use
rule that either all functions which are prototyped in SYNOPSIS are
listed in the NAME section, or the manual-page name is the sole item
listed in the NAME section. The latter is used to reduce clutter,
e.g., for the top-level library manual pages as well as for certain
feature-pages such as SP-funcs and threading (prompted by patches by
Jason McIntyre).
+ add option to preserve leading whitespace in form fields (patch by
Leon Winter).
+ add missing assignment in lib_getch.c to make notimeout() work
(Debian #805618).
+ add 't' toggle for notimeout() function in test/ncurses.c a/A screens
+ add viewdata terminal description (Alexandre Montaron).
+ fix a case in tic/infocmp for formatting capabilities where a
backslash at the end of a string was mishandled.
+ fix some typos in curs_inopts.3x (Benno Schulenberg).
+ fix some inconsistencies in the pccon* entries -TD
+ add bold to pccon+sgr+acs and pccon-base (Tati Chevron).
+ add keys f12-f124 to pccon+keys (Tati Chevron).
+ add test/test_sgr.c program to exercise all combinations of sgr.
+ modify tset's assignment to TERM in its output to reflect the name by
which the terminal description is found, rather than the primary
name. That was an unnecessary part from the initial conversion of
tset from termcap to terminfo. The termcap program in 4.3BSD did
this to avoid using the short 2-character name (report by Rich
Burridge).
+ minor fix to configure script to ensure that rules for resulting.map
are only generated when needed (cf: 20151101).
+ modify configure script to handle the case where tic-library is
renamed, but the --with-debug option is used by itself without
normal or shared libraries (prompted by comment in Debian #803482).
+ amend change for pkg-config which allows build of pc-files when no
valid pkg-config library directory was configured to suppress the
actual install if it is not overridden to a valid directory at
install time (cf: 20150822).
+ modify editing script which generates resulting.map to work with the
clang configuration on recent FreeBSD, which gives an error on an
empty "local" section.
+ fix a spurious "(Part)" message in test/ncurses.c b/B tests due
to incorrect attribute-masking.
+ modify MKexpanded.c to update the expansion of a temporary filename
to "expanded.c", for use in trace statements.
+ modify layout of b/B tests in test/ncurses.c to allow for additional
annotation on the right margin; some terminals with partial support
did not display well.
+ fix typo in curs_attr.3x (patch by Sven Joachim).
+ fix typo in INSTALL (patch by Tomas Cech).
+ improve configure check for setting WILDCARD_SYMS variable; on ppc64
the variable is in the Data section rather than Text (patch by Michel
Normand).
+ using configure option "--without-fallbacks" incorrectly caused
FALLBACK_LIST to be set to "no" (patch by Tomas Cech).
+ updated minitel entries to fix kel problem with emacs, and add
minitel1b-nb (Alexandre Montaron).
+ reviewed/updated nsterm entry Terminal.app in OSX -TD
+ replace some dead URLs in comments with equivalents from the
Internet Archive -TD
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+ modify ncurses/Makefile.in to sort keys.list in POSIX locale
(Debian #801864, patch by Esa Peuha).
+ remove an early-return from _nc_do_color, which can interfere with
data needed by bkgd when ncurses is configured with extended colors
(patch by Denis Tikhomirov).
> fixes for OS/2 (patches by KO Myung-Hun)
+ use button instead of kbuf[0] in EMX-specific part of lib_mouse.c

+ use stdc++ on OS/2 kLIBC
+ clear cf_XOPEN_SOURCE on OS/2
+ add configure check for openpty to test/configure script, for ditto.
+ minor fixes to test/view.c in investigating Debian #790847.
+ update autoconf patch to 2.52.20150926, incorporates a fix for Cdk.
+ add workaround for breakage of POSIX makefiles by recent binutils
change.
+ improve check for working poll() by using posix_openpt() as a
fallback in case there is no valid terminal on the standard input
(prompted by discussion on bug-ncurses mailing list, Debian #676461).
+ change makefile rule for removing resulting.map to distclean rather
than clean.
+ add /lib/terminfo to terminfo-dirs in ".deb" test-package.
+ add note on portability of resizeterm and wresize to manual pages.
+ clarify in resizeterm.3x how KEY_RESIZE is pushed onto the input
stream.
+ clarify in curs_getch.3x that the keypad mode affects ability to
read KEY_MOUSE codes, but does not affect KEY_RESIZE.
+ add overlooked build-fix needed with Cygwin for separate Ada95
configure script, cf: 20150606 (report by Nicolas Boulenguez)
+ fixes for configure/build using clang on OSX (prompted by report by
William Gallafent).
+ do not redefine "inline" in ncurses_cfg.h; this was originally to
solve a problem with gcc/g++, but is aggravated by clang's misuse
of symbols to pretend it is gcc.
+ add braces to configure script to prevent unwanted add of
"-lstdc++" to the CXXLIBS symbol.
+ improve/update test-program used for checking existence of stdc++
library.
+ if $CXXLIBS is set, the linkage test uses that in addition to $LIBS
+ add note in curs_addch.3x about line-drawing when it depends upon
UTF-8.
+ add tic -q option for consistency with infocmp, use it to suppress
all comments from the "tic -I" output.
+ modify infocmp -q option to suppress the "Reconstructed from"
header.
+ add infocmp/tic -Q option, which allows one to dump the compiled
form of the terminal entry, in hexadecimal or base64.
+ sort options in usage message for infocmp, to make it simpler to
see unused letters.
+ update usage message for tic, adding "-0" option.
+ documented differences in ESCDELAY versus AIX's implementation.
+ fix some compiler warnings from ports.
+ modify --with-pkg-config-libdir option to make it possible to install
".pc" files even if pkg-config is not found (adapted by patch by
Joshua Root).
+ disallow "no" as a possible value for "--with-shlib-version" option,
overlooked in cleanup-changes for 20000708 (report by Tommy Alex).
+ update release notes in INSTALL.
+ regenerate llib-* files to help with review for release notes.
+ workaround for Debian #65617, which was fixed in mawk's upstream
releases in 2009 (report by Sven Joachim). See
http://invisible-island.net/mawk/CHANGES.html#t20090727
+ build-fix for Ada95 on older platforms without stdint.h
+ build-fix for Solaris, whose /bin/sh and /usr/bin/sed are non-POSIX.
+ update release announcement, summarizing more than 800 changes across
more than 200 snapshots.
+ minor fixes to manpages, etc., to simplify linking from announcement
page.
+ updated llib-* files.
+ build-fixes for ncurses library "test_progs" rule.
+ use alternate workaround for gcc 5.x feature (adapted from patch by
Mikhail Peselnik).
+ add status line to tmux via xterm+sl (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+ fixes for st 0.5 from testing with tack -TD
+ review/improve several manual pages to break up wall-of-text:
curs_add_wch.3x, curs_attr.3x, curs_bkgd.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x,
curs_getcchar.3x, curs_getch.3x, curs_kernel.3x, curs_mouse.3x,
curs_outopts.3x, curs_overlay.3x, curs_pad.3x, curs_termattrs.3x
curs_trace.3x, and curs_window.3x
+ correct an old logic error for %A and %O in tparm (report by "zreed").
+ improve documentation for signal handlers by adding section in the
curs_initscr.3x page.
+ modify logic in make_keys.c to not assume anything about the size
of strnames and strfnames variables, since those may be functions
in the thread- or broken-linker configurations (problem found by
Coverity).
+ modify test/configure script to check for pthreads configuration,
e.g., ncursestw library.
+ modify scripts to build/use test-packages for the pthreads
configuration of ncurses6.
+ add references to ttytype and termcap symbols in demo_terminfo.c and
demo_termcap.c to ensure that when building ncursest.map, etc., that
the corresponding names such as _nc_ttytype are added to the list of
versioned symbols (report by Werner Fink)
+ fix regression from 20150704 (report/patch by Werner Fink).
+ fix a few problems reported by Coverity.
+ fix comparison against "/usr/include" in misc/gen-pkgconfig.in
(report by Daiki Ueno, Debian #790548, cf: 20141213).
+ modify configure script to remove deprecated ABI 5 symbols when
building ABI 6.
+ add symbols _nc_Default_Field, _nc_Default_Form, _nc_has_mouse to
map-files, but marked as deprecated so that they can easily be
suppressed from ABI 6 builds (Debian #788610).
+ comment-out "screen.xterm" entry, and inherit screen.xterm-256color
from xterm-new (report by Richard Birkett) -TD
+ modify read_entry.c to set the error-return to -1 if no terminal
databases were found, as documented for setupterm.
+ add test_setupterm.c to demonstrate normal/error returns from the
setupterm and restartterm functions.
+ amend cleanup change from 20110813 which removed redundant definition
of ret_error, etc., from tinfo_driver.c, to account for the fact that
it should return a bool rather than int (report/analysis by Johannes
Schindelin).
+ fix overflow warning for OSX with lib_baudrate.c (cf: 20010630).
+ modify script used to generate map/sym files to mark 5.9.20150530 as
the last "5.9" version, and regenerated the files. That makes the
files not use ".current" for the post-5.9 symbols. This also
corrects the label for _nc_sigprocmask used in when weak symbols are
configured for the ncursest/ncursestw libraries (prompted by
discussion with Sven Joachim).
+ fix typo in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim).
"--with-abi-version=5" option.
+ make ABI 6 the default by updates to dist.mk and VERSION, with the
intention that the existing ABI 5 should build as before using the
"--with-abi=5" option.
+ regenerate ada- and man-html documentation.
+ minor fixes to color- and util-manpages.
+ fix a regression in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, to handle special case of
Cygwin, which uses the broken-linker feature.
+ amend fix for CF_NCURSES_CONFIG used in test/configure to assume that
ncurses package scripts work when present for cross-compiling, as the
lessor of two evils (cf: 20150530).
+ add check in configure script to disallow conflicting options
"--with-termlib" and "--enable-term-driver".
+ move defaults for "--disable-lp64" and "--with-versioned-syms" into
CF_ABI_DEFAULTS macro.
+ change private type for Event_Mask in Ada95 binding to work when
mmask_t is set to 32-bits.
+ remove spurious "%;" from st entry (report by Daniel Pitts) -TD
+ add vte-2014, update vte to use that -TD
+ modify tic and infocmp to "move" a diagnostic for tparm strings that
have a syntax error to tic's "-c" option (report by Daniel Pitts).
+ fix two problems with configure script macros (Debian #786436,
cf: 20150425, cf: 20100529).
+ add 'P' menu item to test/ncurses.c, to show pad in color.
+ improve discussion in curs_color.3x about color rendering (prompted
by comment on Stack Overflow forum):
+ remove screen-bce.mlterm, since mlterm does not do "bce" -TD
+ add several screen.XXX entries to support the respective variations
for 256 colors -TD
+ add putty+fnkeys* building-block entries -TD
+ add smkx/rmkx to capabilities analyzed with infocmp "-i" option.

may have rpath options (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20150502).
+ change versioning for dpkg's in test-packages for Ada95 and
ncurses-examples for consistency with Debian, to work with package
updates.
+ regenerate html manpages.
+ clarify handling of carriage return in waddch manual page; it was
discussed only in the portability section (prompted by comment on
Stack Overflow forum):
+ add test-packages for cross-compiling ncurses-examples using the
MinGW test-packages. These are only the Debian packages; RPM later.
+ cleanup format of debian/copyright files
+ add pc-files to the MinGW cross-compiling test-packages.
+ correct a couple of places in gen-pkgconfig.in to handle renaming of
the tinfo library.

Debian #783486) -TD
+ remove unnecessary ';' from E3 capabilities -TD
+ add tmux entry, derived from screen (patch by Nicholas Marriott).

nsterm-build342 to reflect changes with successive releases of OSX
(discussion with Leonardo B Schenkel)
+ add xon, ich1, il1 to ibm3161 (patch by Stephen Powell, Debian
#783806)
+ add sample "magic" file, to document ext-putwin.
+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to add explicit -ltinfo, etc., to the
generated ".pc" file when ld option "--as-needed" is used, or when
ncurses and tinfo are installed without using rpath (prompted by
discussion with Sylvain Bertrand).
+ modify test-package for ncurses6 to omit rpath feature when installed
in /usr.
+ add OSX's "*.dSYM" to clean-rules in makefiles.
+ make extra-suffix work for OSX configuration, e.g., for shared
libraries.
+ modify Ada95/configure script to work with pkg-config
+ move test-package for ncurses6 to /usr, since filename-conflicts have
been eliminated.

the ncurses library aside from headers.
+ reviewed man pages, fixed a few other spelling errors.
+ fix a typo in curs_util.3x (Sven Joachim).
+ use extra-suffix in some overlooked shared library dependencies
found by 20150425 changes for test-packages.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+ expanded description of tgetstr's area pointer in manual page
(report by Todd M Lewis).
+ in-progress changes to modify test-packages to use ncursesw6 rather
than ncursesw, with updated configure scripts.
+ modify CF_NCURSES_CONFIG in Ada95- and test-configure scripts to
check for ".pc" files via pkg-config, but add a linkage check since
frequently pkg-config configurations are broken.
+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to include EXTRA_LDFLAGS, e.g., for the
rpath option.
+ add 'dim' capability to screen entry (report by Leonardo B Schenkel)
+ add several key definitions to nsterm-bce to match preconfigured
keys, e.g., with OSX 10.9 and 10.10 (report by Leonardo B Schenkel)

wide characters (report by Werner Fink).
+ modify autoconf macros to use scripting improvement from xterm.
+ add -brtl option to compiler options on AIX 5-7, needed to link
with the shared libraries.
+ add --with-extra-suffix option to help with installing nonconflicting
ncurses6 packages, e.g., avoiding header- and library-conflicts.
NOTE: as a side-effect, this renames
adacurses-config to adacurses5-config and
adacursesw-config to adacursesw5-config
+ modify debian/rules test package to suffix programs with "6".
+ clarify in curs_inopts.3x that window-specific settings do not
inherit into new windows.
+ improve description of start_color() in the manual.
+ modify several files in ncurses- and progs-directories to allow
const data used in internal tables to be put by the linker into the
readonly text segment.
+ add "-f" option to test/savescreen.c to help with testing/debugging
the extended putwin/getwin.
+ add logic for writing/reading combining characters in the extended
putwin/getwin.
+ add "--enable-ext-putwin" configure option to turn on the extended
putwin/getwin.
+ in-progress changes to provide an extended version of putwin and
getwin which will be capable of reading screen-dumps between the
wide/normal ncurses configurations. These are text files, except
for a magic code at the beginning:
0 string \210\210 Screen-dump (ncurses)
+ document limitations of getwin in manual page (prompted by discussion
with John S Urban).
+ extend test/savescreen.c to demonstrate that color pair values
and graphic characters can be restored using getwin.
+ modify win_driver.c to eliminate the constructor, to make it more
usable in an application which may/may not need the console window
(report by Grady Martin).
+ capture define's related to -D_XOPEN_SOURCE from the configure check
and add those to the *-config and *.pc files, to simplify use for
the wide-character libraries.

for the "--enable-weak-symbols" configure option (report by Werner
Fink).
+ add configure check to determine if "local: _*;" can be used in the
".map" files to selectively omit symbols beginning with "_". On at
least recent FreeBSD, the wildcard applies to all "_" symbols.
+ remove obsolete/conflicting rule for ncurses.map from
ncurses/Makefile.in (cf: 20130706).
+ improve description in INSTALL of the --with-versioned-syms option.
+ add combination of --with-hashed-db and --with-ticlib to
configurations for ".map" files (report by Werner Fink).
+ add a step to generating ".map" files, to declare any remaining
symbols beginning with "_" as local, at the last version node.
+ improve configure checks for pkg-config, addressing a variant found
with FreeBSD ports.
+ modify win_driver.c to provide characters for special keys, like
ansi.sys, when keypad mode is off, rather than returning nothing at
all (discussion with Eli Zaretskii).
+ add "broken_linker" and "hashed-db" configure options to combinations
use for generating the ".map" and ".sym" files.
+ avoid using "ld" directly when creating shared library, to simplify
cross-compiles. Also drop "-Bsharable" option from shared-library
rules for FreeBSD and DragonFly (FreeBSD #196592).
+ fix a memory leak in form library Free_RegularExpression_Type()
(report by Pavel Balaev).
+ modify_nc_flush() to retry if interrupted (patch by Stian Skjelstad).
+ change map files to make _nc_freeall a global, since it may be used
via the Ada95 binding when checking for memory leaks.
+ improve sed script used in 20141220 to account for wide-, threaded-
variations in ABI 6.
+ regenerate ".map" files, using step overlooked in 20141213 to use
the same patch-dates across each file to match ncurses.map (report by
Sven Joachim).
+ updated Ada95/configure with macro changes from 20141213
+ tie configure options --with-abi-version and --with-versioned-syms
together, so that ABI 6 libraries have distinct symbol versions from
the ABI 5 libraries.
+ replace obsolete/nonworking link to man2html with current one,
regenerate html-manpages.
+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to add -I option for include-directory
when using both --prefix and --disable-overwrite (report by Misty
De Meo).
+ add configure option --with-pc-suffix to allow minor renaming of
".pc" files and the corresponding library. Use this in the test
package for ncurses6.
+ modify configure script so that if pkg-config is not installed, it
is still possible to install ".pc" files (report by Misty De Meo).
+ updated ".sym" files, removing symbols which are marked as "local"
in the corresponding ".map" files.
+ updated ".map" files to reflect move of comp_captab and comp_hash
from tic-library to tinfo-library in 20090711 (report by Sven
Joachim).
+ updated ".map" files so that each symbol that may be shared across
the different library configurations has the same label. Some
review is needed to ensure these are really compatible.
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to work around change in development version of
gcc introduced here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-06/msg02185.html
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-07/msg00236.html
(reports by Marcus Shawcroft, Maohui Lei).
+ improved configure macro CF_SUBDIR_PATH, from lynx changes.
+ improved ".map" files by generating them with a script that builds
ncurses with several related configurations and merges the results.
A further refinement is planned, to make the tic- and tinfo-library
symbols use the same versions across each of the four configurations
which are represented (reports by Sven Joachim, Werner Fink).
+ improve description of limits for color values and color pairs in
curs_color.3x (prompted by patch by Tim van der Molen).

symbol-versioning.
+ reviewed terminology 0.6.1, add function key definitions. None of
the vt100-compatibility issues were improved -TD
+ improve infocmp conversion of extended capabilities to termcap by
correcting the limit check against parametrized[], as well as filling
in a check if the string happens to have parameters, e.g., "xm"
in recent changes.
+ add check for zero/negative dimensions for resizeterm and resize_term
(report by Mike Gran).
+ add experimental support for xterm's 1005 mouse mode, to use in a
demonstration of its limitations.
+ add experimental support for "%u" format to terminfo.
+ modify test/ncurses.c to also show position reports in 'a' test.
+ minor formatting fixes to _nc_trace_mmask_t, make this function
exported to help with debugging mouse changes.
+ improve behavior of wheel-mice for xterm protocol, noting that there
are only button-presses for buttons "4" and "5", so there is no need
to wait to combine events into double-clicks (report/analysis by
Greg Field).
+ provide examples xterm-1005 and xterm-1006 terminfo entries -TD
+ implement decoder for xterm SGR 1006 mouse mode.
+ implement curs_set in win_driver.c
+ implement flash in win_driver.c
+ fix an infinite loop in win_driver.c if the command-window loses
focus.
+ improve the non-buffered mode, i.e., NCURSES_CONSOLE2, of
win_driver.c by temporarily changing the buffer-size to match the
window-size to eliminate the scrollback. Also enforce a minimum
screen-size of 24x80 in the non-buffered mode.
+ modify generated misc/Makefile to suppress install.data from the
dependencies if the --disable-db-install option is used, compensating
for the top-level makefile changes used to add ncurses*-config in the 20140920 changes (report by Steven Honeyman).
+ add ncurses*-config to bin-directory of sample package-scripts.
+ add check to ensure that getopt is available; this is a problem in
some older cross-compiler environments.
+ expanded on the description of --disable-overwrite in INSTALL
(prompted by reports by Joakim Tjernlund, Thomas Klausner).
See Gentoo #522586 and NetBSD #49200 for examples.
which relates to the clarified guidelines.

+ update config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git

options more directly comparable, and add "-i" option to specify
a terminal description filename to parse for names to lookup.
+ fix colors in ncurses 'b' test which did not work after changing
it to put the test-strings in subwindows (cf: 20140705).
+ merge redundant SEE-ALSO sections in form and menu manpages.
+ modify declarations for user-data pointers in C++ binding to use
reinterpret_cast to facilitate converting typed pointers to void*
in user's application (patch by Adam Jiang).
+ regenerated html manpages.
+ add note regarding cause and effect for TERM in ncurses manpage,
having noted clueless verbiage in Terminal.app's "help" file
which reverses cause/effect.
+ remove special fallback definition for NCURSES_ATTR_T, since macros
have resolved type-mismatches using casts (cf: 970412).
+ fixes for win_driver.c:
+ handle repainting on endwin/refresh combination.
+ implement beep().
+ minor cleanup.
+ minor portability fixes for MinGW:

+ work around bug introduced by gcc 4.8.1 in MinGW which breaks
"trace" feature:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20877689/gcc-4-8-1-minggw-d-option-does-not-work-as-usual
+ fix most compiler warnings for Cygwin ncurses-examples.
+ restore "redundant" -I options in test/Makefile.in, since they are
typically needed when building the derived ncurses-examples package
(cf: 20140726).
+ eliminate some redundant -I options used for building libraries, and
ensure that ${srcdir} is added to the include-options (prompted by
discussion with Paul Gilmartin).
+ modify configure script to work with Minix3.2
+ add form library extension O_DYNAMIC_JUSTIFY option which can be
used to override the different treatment of justification for static
versus dynamic fields (adapted from patch by Leon Winter).

Leon Winter, cf: 20130608).
+ make workarounds for compiling test-programs with NetBSD curses.
+ improve configure macro CF_ADD_LIBS, to eliminate repeated -l/-L
options, from xterm changes.
+ correct Charable() macro check for A_ALTCHARSET in wide-characters.
+ build-fix for position-debug code in tty_update.c, to work with or
without sp-funcs.
+ correct check in win_driver.c for saving screen contents, e.g., when
NCURSES_CONSOLE2 is set (cf: 20140503).
+ reorganize b/B menu items in ncurses.c, putting the test-strings into
subwindows. This is needed for a planned change to use Unicode
fullwidth characters in the test-screens.
+ correct update to form status for _NEWTOP, broken by fixes for
compiler warnings (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20120616).
+ change shared-library suffix for AIX 5 and 6 to ".so", avoiding
conflict with the static library (report by Ben Lentz).
+ document RPATH_LIST in INSTALLATION file, as part of workarounds for
upgrading an ncurses library using the "--with-shared" option.
+ modify test/ncurses.c c/C tests to cycle through subsets of the
total number of colors, to better illustrate 8/16/88/256-colors by
providing directly comparable screens.
+ add test/dots_curses.c, for comparison with the low-level examples.
+ fix dereference before null check found by Coverity in tic.c
(cf: 20140524).
+ fix sign-extension bug in read_entry.c which prevented "toe" from
reading empty "screen+italics" entry.
+ modify sgr for screen.xterm-new to support dim capability -TD
+ add dim capability to nsterm+7 -TD
+ cancel dim capability for iterm -TD
+ add dim, invis capabilities to vte-2012 -TD
+ add sitm/ritm to konsole-base and mlterm3 -TD
> fix regression in screen terminfo entries (reports by Christian
Ebert, Gabriele Balducci) -TD
+ revert the change to screen; see notes for why this did not work -TD
+ cancel sitm/ritm for entries which extend "screen", to work around
screen's hardcoded behavior for SGR 3 -TD
+ separate masking for sgr in vidputs from sitm/ritm, which do not
overlap with sgr functionality.
+ remove unneeded -i option from adacurses-config; put -a in the -I
option for consistency (patch by Pascal Pignard).
+ update xterm-new to patch #305 -TD
+ change format of test-scripts for Debian Ada95 and ncurses-examples
packages to quilted to work around Debian #700177 (cf: 20130907).
+ build fix for form_driver_w.c as part of ncurses-examples package for
older ncurses than 20131207.
+ add Hello World example to adacurses-config manpage.
+ remove unused --enable-pc-files option from Ada95/configure.
+ add --disable-gnat-projects option for testing.
+ revert changes to Ada95 project-files configuration (cf: 20140524).
+ corrected usage message in adacurses-config.
+ fix typo in ncurses manpage for the NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE
environment variable.
+ improve discussion of input-echoing in curs_getch.3x
+ clarify discussion in curs_addch.3x of wrapping.
+ modify parametrized.h to make fln non-padded.
+ correct several entries which had termcap-style padding used in
terminfo: adm21, aj510, alto-h19, att605-pc, x820 -TD
+ correct syntax for padding in some entries: dg211, h19 -TD
+ correct ti924-8 which had confused padding versus octal escapes -TD
+ correct padding in sbi entry -TD
+ fix an old bug in the termcap emulation; "%i" was ignored in tparm()
because the parameters to be incremented were already on the internal
stack (report by Corinna Vinschen).
+ modify tic's "-c" option to take into account the "-C" option to
activate additional checks which compare the results from running
tparm() on the terminfo expressions versus the translated termcap
expressions.
+ modify tic to allow it to read from FIFOs (report by Matthieu Fronton,
cf: 20120324).
> patches by Nicolas Boulenguez:
+ explicit dereferences to suppress some style warnings.
+ when c_varargs_to_ada.c includes its header, use double quotes
instead of <>.
+ samples/ncurses2-util.adb: removed unused with clause. The warning
was removed by an obsolete pragma.
+ replaced Unreferenced pragmas with Warnings (Off). The latter,
available with older GNATs, needs no configure test. This also
replaces 3 untested Unreferenced pragmas.
+ simplified To_C usage in trace handling. Using two parameters allows
some basic formatting, and avoids a warning about security with some
compiler flags.
+ for generated Ada sources, replace many snippets with one pure
package.
+ removed C_Chtype and its conversions.
+ removed C_AttrType and its conversions.
+ removed conversions between int, Item_Option_Set, Menu_Option_Set.
+ removed int, Field_Option_Set, Item_Option_Set conversions.
+ removed C_TraceType, Attribute_Option_Set conversions.
+ replaced C.int with direct use of Eti_Error, now enumerated. As it
was used in a case statement, values were tested by the Ada compiler
to be consecutive anyway.
+ src/Makefile.in: remove duplicate stanza
+ only consider using a project for shared libraries.
+ style. Silent gnat-4.9 warning about misplaced "then".
+ generate shared library project to honor ADAFLAGS, LDFLAGS.
+ cleanup recently introduced compiler warnings for MingW port.
+ workaround for ${MAKEFLAGS} configure check versus GNU make 4.0,
which introduces more than one gratuitous incompatibility.
+ add vt520ansi terminfo entry (patch by Mike Gran)
+ further improve MinGW support for the scenario where there is an
ANSI-escapes handler such as ansicon running in the console window
(patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ add --disable-lib-suffixes option (adapted from patch by Juergen
Pfeifer).
+ merge some changes from Juergen Pfeifer's work with MSYS2, to
simplify later merging:
+ use NC_ISATTY() macro for isatty() in library
+ add _nc_mingw_isatty() and related functions to windows-driver
+ rename terminal driver entrypoints to simplify grep's
+ remove a check in the sp-funcs flavor of newterm() which allowed only
the first call to newterm() to succeed (report by Thomas Beierlein,
cf: 20090927).
+ modify configure script:
+ drop the -no-gcc option from Intel compiler, from lynx changes.
+ extend the --with-hashed-db configure option to simplify building
with different versions of Berkeley database using FreeBSD ports.
+ improve initialization for MinGW port (patch by Juergen Pfeifer):
+ enforce Windows-style path-separator if cross-compiling,
+ add a driver-name method to each of the drivers,
+ allow the Windows driver name to match "unknown", ignoring case,
+ lengthen the built-in name for the Windows console driver to
"#win32console", and
+ move the comparison of driver-names allowing abbreviation, e.g.,
to "#win32con" into the Windows console driver.
+ add check in tic for mismatch between ccc and initp/initc
+ cancel ccc in putty-256color and konsole-256color for consistency
with the cancelled initc capability (patch by Sven Zuhlsdorf).
+ add xterm+256setaf building block for various terminals which only
get the 256-color feature half-implemented -TD
+ updated "st" entry (leaving the 0.1.1 version as "simpleterm") to
0.4.1 -TD
+ use types from <stdint.h> in sample build-scripts for chtype, etc.
+ modify configure script and curses.h.in to allow the types specified
using --with-chtype and related options to be defined in <stdint.h>
+ add terminology entry -TD
+ add mlterm3 entry, use that as "mlterm" -TD
+ inherit mlterm-256color from mlterm -TD
+ modify _nc_New_TopRow_and_CurrentItem() to ensure that the menu's
top-row is adjusted as needed to ensure that the current item is
on the screen (patch by Johann Klammer).
+ add wgetdelay() to retrieve _delay member of WINDOW if it happens to
be opaque, e.g., in the pthread configuration (prompted by patch by
Soren Brinkmann).
+ modify ifdef in read_entry.c to handle the case where
NCURSES_USE_DATABASE is not defined (patch by Xin Li).
+ add cast in form_driver_w() to fix ARM build (patch by Xin Li).
+ add logic to win_driver.c to save/restore screen contents when not
allocating a console-buffer (cf: 20140215).
+ fix some compiler warnings in win_driver.c
+ updated notes for wsvt25 based on tack and vttest -TD
+ add teken entry to show actual properties of FreeBSD's "xterm"
console -TD
+ in-progress changes to win_driver.c to implement output without
allocating a console-buffer. This uses a pre-existing environment
variable NCGDB used by Juergen Pfeifer for debugging (prompted by
discussion with Erwin Waterlander regarding Console2, which hangs
when reading in an allocated console-buffer).
+ add -t option to gdc.c, and modify to accept "S" to step through the
scrolling-stages.
+ regenerate NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the broken
html emitted by docbook.
+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to omit followup check to determine if
_XOPEN_SOURCE can/should be defined. g++ 4.7.2 built on Solaris 10
has some header breakage due to its own predefinition of this symbol
(report by Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15796).
+ add/use symbol NCURSES_PAIRS_T like NCURSES_COLOR_T, to illustrate
which "short" types are for color pairs and which are color values.
+ fix build for s390x, by correcting field bit offsets in generated
representation clauses when int=32 long=64 and endian=big, or at
least on s390x (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ minor cleanup change to test/form_driver_w.c (patch by Gaute Hope).
+ remove unnecessary ifdef's in Ada95/gen/gen.c, which reportedly do
not work as is with gcc 4.8 due to fixes using chtype cast made for
new compiler warnings by gcc 4.8 in 20130824 (Debian #735753, patch
by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ modify configure-script/ifdef's to allow OLD_TTY feature to be
suppressed if the type of ospeed is configured using the option
--with-ospeed to not be a short. By default, it is a short for
termcap-compatibility (adapted from suggestion by Christian
Weisgerber).
+ correct a typo in _nc_baudrate() (patch by Christian Weisgerber,
cf: 20061230).
+ fix a few -Wlogical-op warnings.
+ updated llib-l* files.
