+ update "iterm" entry -TD
+ 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
+ update interix entry using tack and SFU on Windows 7 Ultimate -TD
+ use ^? for kdch1 in interix (reported by Jonathan de Boyne Pollard)
+ add "rep" to xterm-new, available since 1997/01/26 -TD
+ move SGR 24 and 27 from vte-2014 to vte-2012 (request by Alain
Williams) -TD
+ add a check in newline_forces_scroll() in case a program moves the
cursor outside scrolling margins (report by Robert King).
+ improve _nc_tparm_analyze, using that to extend the checks made by
tic for reporting inconsistencies between the expected number of
parameters for a capability and the actual.
+ amend handling of repeat_char capability in EmitRange (adapted from
report/patch by Dick Wesseling):
+ translate the character to the alternate character set when the
alternate character set is enabled.
+ do not use repeat_char for characters past 255.
+ document "_nc_free_tinfo" in manual page, because it could be used in
tack for memory-leak checking.
+ add "--without-tack" configure option to refine "--with-progs"
configure option. Normally tack is no longer built in-tree, but
a few packagers combine it during the build. If term_entry.h is
installed, there is no advantage to in-tree builds.
+ adjust configure-script to define HAVE_CURSES_DATA_BOOLNAMES symbol
needed for tack 1.08 when built in-tree. Rather than relying upon
internal "_nc_" functions, tack now uses the boolean, number and
string capability name-arrays provided by ncurses and SVr4 Unix
curses. It still uses term_entry.h for the definitions of the
extended capability arrays.
+ add an overlooked null-pointer check in mvcur changes from 20170722
+ improve test-packages for ncurses-examples and AdaCurses for lintian
+ modify logic for endwin-state to be able to detect the case where
the screen was never initialized, using that to trigger a flush of
ncurses' buffer for mvcur, e.g., in test/dots_mvcur.c for the
term-driver configuration.
+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to a few other internal header
files to allow each to be compiled separately.
+ add dependency upon ncurses_cfg.h to tic's header-files; any program
using tic-library will have to supply this file. Legacy tack
versions supply this file; ongoing tack development has dropped the
dependency upon tic-library and new releases will not be affected.
+ modify command-line parameters for "convert" used in picsmap to work
with ImageMagick 6.8 and newer.
+ fix build-problem with tack and ABI-5 (Debian #868328).
+ repair termcap-format from tic/infocmp broken in 20170701 fixes
(Debian #868266).
+ reformat terminfo.src with 20170513 updates.
+ improve test-packages to address lintian warnings.
+ modify update_getenv() in db_iterator.c to ensure that environment
variables which are not initially set will be checked later if an
application happens to set them (patch by Guillaume Maudoux).
+ remove initialization-check for calling napms() in the term-driver
configuration; none is needed.
+ add help-screen to test/test_getstr.c and test/test_get_wstr.c
+ improve compatibility between different configurations of new_prescr,
fixing a case with threaded code and term-driver where c++/demo did
not work (cf: 20160213).
+ the fixes for Redhat #1464685 obscured a problem subsequently
reported in Redhat #1464687; the given test-case was no longer
reproducible. Testing without the fixes for the earlier reports
showed a problem with buffer overflow in dump_entry.c, which is
addressed by reducing the use of a fixed-size buffer.
+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
(Redhat #1464684, #1464685, #1464686, #1464691).
+ alloc_entry.c, add a check for a null-pointer.
+ parse_entry.c, add several checks for valid pointers as well as
one check to ensure that a single character on a line is not
treated as the 2-character termcap short-name.
+ fix a memory leak in delscreen() (report by Bai Junq).
+ improve tracemunch, showing thread identifiers as names.
+ fix a use-after-free in NCursesMenu::~NCursesMenu()
+ further amend incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
(report by Allen Hewes).
+ modify c++/etip.h.in to accommodate deprecation of throw() and
throws() in c++17 (prompted by patch by Romain Geissler).
+ remove some incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
(report by Allen Hewes).
+ add test-programs for termattrs and term_attrs.
+ modify _nc_outc_wrapper to use the standard output if the screen was
not initialized, rather than returning an error.
+ improve checks for low-level terminfo functions when the terminal
has not been initialized (Redhat #1345963).
+ modify make_hash to allow building with address-sanitizer,
assuming that --disable-leaks is configured.
+ amend changes for number_format() in 20170506 to avoid undefined
behavior when shifting (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ fill in some places where TERMTYPE2 vs TERMTYPE was not used
(report by Allen Hewes).
+ use ExitTerminfo() internally in error-exits for ncurses' setupterm
to help with leak checking.
+ use ExitProgram() in error-exit from initscr() to help with leak
checking.
+ review test-programs, adding checks for cases where the terminal
cannot be initialized.
+ add option "-xp" to picsmap.c, to use init_extended_pair().
+ make simple performance fixes for picsmap.c
+ improve aspect ratio of images read from "convert" in picsmap.c
+ add option to picsmap to use color-palette files, e.g., for mapping
to xterm-256color.
+ move the data in SCREEN used for the alloc_pair() function to the
end, to restore compatibility between ncurses/ncursesw libtinfo
(report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ add build-time utility "report_offsets" to help show when the various
configurations of tinfo library are compatible or not.
+ improved test/picsmap.c:
+ lookup named colors for xpm files in rgb.txt
+ accept blanks in color-keys for xpm files.
+ if neither xbm/xpm work, try "convert", which may be available.
+ modify test/picsmap.c to read xpm files.
+ modify package/debian/* to create documentation packages, so the
related files can be checked with lintian.
+ fix some typos in manpages (report/patch by Sven Joachim).
+ add test/picsmap.c to fill in some testing issues not met by dots.
The initial version reads X bitmap (".xbm") files.
+ repair logic which forces a repaint where a color-pair's content is
changed (cf: 20170311).
+ improve tracemunch, showing screenXX pointers as names.
+ modify tic/infocmp display of numeric values to use hexadecimal when
they are "close" to a power of two, making the result more readable.
+ improve discussion of portability in curs_mouse.3x
+ change line-length for generated html/manpages to 78 columns from 65.
+ improve discussion of line-drawing characters in curs_add_wch.3x
(prompted by discussion with Lorinczy Zsigmond).
+ cleanup formatting of hackguide.html and ncurses-intro.html
+ add examples for WACS_D_PLUS and WACS_T_PLUS to test/ncurses.c
+ corrected a case where $with_gpm was set to "maybe" after CF_WITH_GPM,
overlooked in 20160528 fixes (report by Alexandre Bury).
+ improve a couple of test-program's help-messages.
+ corrected loop in rain.c from 20170415 changes.
+ modify winnstr and winchnstr to return error if the output pointer is
null, as well as adding a null pointer check of the window pointer
for better compatibility with other implementations.
+ improve discussion of NetBSD curses in scr_dump.5
+ modify LIMIT_TYPED macro in new_pair.h to avoid changing sign of the
value to be limited (reports by Darby Payne, Rob Boudreau).
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+ build-fix for termcap-configuration (report by Chi-Hsuan Yen).
+ improve terminfo manual page discussion of control- and graphics-
characters.
+ remove tic warning about "^?" in string capabilities, which was
marked as an extension (cf: 20000610, 20110820); however all Unix
implementations support this and X/Open Curses does not address it.
On the other hand, termcap never did support this feature.
+ correct missing comma-separator between string capabilities in
icl6402 and m2-nam -TD
+ restore rmir/smir in ansi+idc to better match original ansiterm+idc,
add alias ansiterm (report by Robert King).
+ amend an old check for ambiguous use of "ma" in terminfo versus
a termcap use, if the capability is cancelled to treat it as number.
+ correct a case in _nc_captoinfo() which read "%%" and emitted "%".
+ modify sscanf calls in _nc_infotocap() for patterns "%{number}%+%c"
and "%'char'%+%c" to check that the final character is really 'c',
avoiding a case in icl6404 which cannot be converted to termcap.
+ in _nc_infotocap(), add a check to ensure that terminfo "^?" is not
written to termcap, because the BSDs did not implement that.
+ in _nc_tic_expand() and _nc_infotocap(), improve string-length check
when deciding whether to use "^X" or "\xxx" format for control
characters, to make the output of tic/infocmp more predictable.
+ limit termcap "%d" width to 2 digits on input, and use "%2" in
preference to "%02" on output.
+ correct terminfo/termcap conversion of "%02" and "%03" into "%2" and
"%3"; the result repeated the last character.
+ add man/scr_dump.5 to document screen-dump format.
+ modify several test programs to use new popup_msgs, adapted from
help-screen used in test/edit_field.c
+ drop two symbols obsoleted in 2004: _nc_check_termtype, and
_nc_resolve_uses
+ fix some old copyright dates (cf: 20031025).
+ build-fixes for test/savescreen.c to work with AIX and HPUX.
+ minor fix to configure script, adding a backslash/continuation.
+ extend TERMINAL structure for ABI 6 to store numbers internally as
integers rather than short, by adding new data for this purpose.
+ more fixes for minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
+ change logic in wins_nwstr() to avoid addressing data past the output
of mbstowcs().
+ correct a call to setcchar() in Data_Entry_w() from 20131207 changes.
+ fix minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
+ further improve ifdef in term_entry.h for internal definitions not
used by tack.
+ minor fixes for vt100+4bsd, e.g., delay in sgr for consistency -TD
+ add smso for env230, to match sgr -TD
+ remove p7/protect from sgr in fbterm -TD
+ drop setf/setb from fbterm; setaf/setab are enough -TD
+ make xterm-pcolor sgr consistent with other capabilities -TD
+ add rmxx/smxx ECMA-48 strikeout extension to tmux and xterm-basic
(discussion with Nicholas Marriott)
+ add test-programs sp_tinfo and extended_color
+ modify no-leaks code for lib_cur_term.c to account for the tgetent()
cache.
+ modify setupterm() to save original tty-modes so that erasechar()
works as expected. Also modify _nc_setupscreen() to avoid redundant
calls to get original tty-modes.
+ modify set_curterm() to update ttytype[] data used by longname().
+ modify wattr_set() and wattr_get() to return ERR if win-parameter is
null, as documented.
+ improve cast used for null-pointer checks in header macros, to
reduce compiler warnings.
+ modify several functions, using the reserved "opts" parameter to pass
color- and pair-values larger than 16-bits:
+ getcchar(), setcchar(), slk_attr_set(), vid_puts(), wattr_get(),
wattr_set(), wchgat(), wcolor_set().
+ Other functions call these with the corresponding altered behavior,
including chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat(), slk_color_on(),
slk_color_off(), vid_attr().
+ add new functions for manipulating color- and pair-values larger
than 16-bits. These are extended_color_content(),
extended_pair_content(), extended_slk_color(), init_extended_color(),
init_extended_pair(), and the corresponding sp-funcs.
+ fix a memory leak in the window-list when creating multiple screens
(reports by Andres Martinelli, Debian #783486).
+ reviewed calls from link_test.c, added a few more null-pointer
checks.
+ add a null-pointer check in ungetmouse, in case mousemask was not
called (report by "Kau").
+ updated curs_sp_funcs.3x for new functions.
+ change TERMINAL structure in term.h to make it opaque. Some
applications misuse its members, e.g., directly modifying it
rather than using def_prog_mode().
+ modify utility headers such as tic.h to make it clearer which are
externals that are used by tack.
+ improve curs_slk.3x in particular its discussion of portability.
+ fix cut/paste in legacy_encoding.3x
+ add prototype for find_pair() to new_pair.3x (report by Branden
Robinson).
+ fix a couple of broken links in generated man-html documentation.
+ regenerate man-html documentation.
+ modify vt100 rs2 string to reset vt52 mode and scrolling regions
(report/analysis by Robert King) -TD
+ add vt100+4bsd building block, use that for older terminals rather
than "vt100" which is now mostly used as a building block for
terminal emulators -TD
+ correct a few spelling errors in terminfo.src comments -TD
+ add fbterm -TD
+ fix a typo in ncurses.c test_attr legend (patch by Petr Vanek).
+ changed internal colorpair_t to a struct, eliminating an internal
8-bit limit on colors
+ add ncurses/new_pair.h
+ add ncurses/base/new_pair.c with alloc_pair(), find_pair() and
free_pair() functions
+ add test/demo_new_pair.c
+ improve terminfo manual description of terminfo syntax.
+ clarify the use of wint_t vs wchar_t in curs_get_wstr.3x
+ improve description of endwin() in manual.
+ modify setcchar() and getcchar() to treat negative color-pair as an
error.
+ fix a typo in include/hashed_db.h (Andre Sa).
+ fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
+ correct read of terminfo entry in which all strings are absent or
explicitly cancelled. Before this fix, the result was that all were
treated as only absent.
+ modify infocmp to suppress mixture of absent/cancelled capabilities
that would only show as "NULL, NULL", unless the -q option is used,
e.g., to show "-, @" or "@, -".
+ build-fixes for PGI compilers (report by Adam J. Stewart)
+ accept whitespace in sed expression for generating expanded.c
+ modify configure check that g++ compiler warnings are not used.
+ add configure check for -fPIC option needed for shared libraries.
+ let configure --disable-ext-funcs override the default for the
--enable-sp-funcs option.
+ mark some structs in form/menu/panel libraries as potentially opaque
without modifying API/ABI.
+ add configure option --enable-opaque-curses for ncurses library and
similar options for the other libraries.
+ trim newlines, tabs and escaped newlines from terminfo "paths" passed
to db-iterator.
+ ignore zero-length files in db-iterator; these are useful for
instance to suppress "$HOME/.terminfo" when not wanted.
+ amended "b64:" encoder to work with the terminfo reader.
+ modify terminfo reader to accept "b64:" format using RFC-3548 in
as well as RFC-4648 url/filename-safe format.
+ modify terminfo reader to accept "hex:" format as generated by
"infocmp -0qQ1" (cf: 20150905).
+ adjust authors comment to reflect drop below 1% for SV.
+ minor comment-fixes to help automate links to bug-urls -TD
+ add dvtm, dvtm-256color -TD
+ add settings corresponding to xterm-keys option to tmux entry to
reflect upcoming change to make that option "on" by default
(patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+ uncancel Ms in tmux entry (Harry Gindi, Nicholas Marriott).
+ add dumb-emacs-ansi -TD
+ improve discussion of early history of tput program.
+ incorporate A_COLOR mask into COLOR_PAIR(), in case user application
provides an out-of-range pair number (report by Elijah Stone).
+ clarify description in tput manual page regarding support for
termcap names (prompted by FreeBSD #214709).
+ remove a restriction in tput's support for termcap names which
omitted capabilities normally not shown in termcap translations
(cf: 990123).
+ modify configure script for clang as used on FreeBSD, to work around
clang's differences in exit codes vs gcc.
+ improve discussion of early history of tset/reset programs.
+ clarify in manual pages that the optional verbose option level is
available only when ncurses is configured for tracing.
+ amend change from 20161231 to avoid writing traces to the standard
error after initializing the trace feature using the environment
variable.
+ amend changes for tput to reset tty modes to "sane" if the program
is run as "reset", like tset. Likewise, ensure that tset sends
either reset- or init-strings.
+ improve manual page descriptions of tput init/reset and tset/reset,
to make it easier to see how they are similar and different.
+ move a static result from key_name() to _nc_globals
+ modify _nc_get_screensize to allow for use_env() and use_tioctl()
state to be per-screen when sp-funcs are configured, better matching
the behavior when using the term-driver configuration.
+ improve cross-references in manual pages for often used functions
+ move SCREEN field for use_tioctl() data before the ncursesw fields,
and limit that to the sp-funcs configuration to improve termlib
compatibility (cf: 20120714).
+ correct order of initialization for traces in use_env() and
use_tioctl() versus first trace calls.
+ fix errata for ncurses-howto (report by Damien Ruscoe).
+ fix a few places in configure/build scripts where DESTDIR and rpath
were combined (report by Thomas Klausner).
+ merge current st description (report by Harry Gindi) -TD
+ modify flash capability for linux and wyse entries to put the delay
between the reverse/normal escapes rather than after -TD
+ modify program tabs to pass the actual tty file descriptor to
setupterm rather than the standard output, making padding work
consistently.
+ explain in clear's manual page that it writes to stdout.
+ add special case for verbose debugging traces of command-line
utilities which write to stderr (cf: 20161126).
+ remove a trace with literal escapes from skip_DECSCNM(), added in
20161203.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+ correct parmeters for copywin call in _nc_Synchronize_Attributes()
(patch by Leon Winter).
+ improve color-handling section in terminfo manual page (prompted by
patch by Mihail Konev).
+ modify programs clear, tput and tset to pass the actual tty file
descriptor to setupterm rather than the standard output, making
padding work.
+ add tput-colorcube demo script.
+ add -r and -s options to tput-initc demo, to match usage in xterm.
+ flush the standard output in _nc_flush for the case where SP is zero,
e.g., when called via putp. This fixes a scenario where "tput flash"
did not work after changes in 20130112.
+ add configure script option --disable-wattr-macros for use in cases
where one wants to use the same headers for ncurses5/ncurses6
development, by suppressing the wattr* macros which differ due to
the introduction of extended colors (prompted by comments in
Debian #230990, Redhat #1270534).
+ add test/tput-initc to demonstrate tput used to initialize palette
from a data file.
+ modify test/xterm*.dat to use the newer color4/color12 values.
+ modify linux-16color to not mask dim, standout or reverse with the
ncv capability -TD
+ add 0.1sec mandatory delay to flash capabilities using the VT100
reverse-video control -TD
+ omit selection of ISO-8859-1 for G0 in enacs capability from linux2.6
entry, to avoid conflict with the user-defined mapping. The reset
feature will use ISO-8859-1 in any case (Mikulas Patocka).
+ improve check in tic for delays by also warning about beep/flash
when a delay is not embedded, or if those use the VT100 reverse
video escape without using a delay.
+ minor fix for syntax-check of delays from 20161119 changes.
+ modify trace() to avoid overwriting existing file (report by Maor
Shwartz).
+ improve -W option in tic/infocmp:
+ correct order of size-adjustments in wrapped lines
+ if -f option splits line, do not further split it with -W
+ begin a new line when adding "use=" after a wrapped line
+ modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the
screensize if it was already set in the system, to improve tabstop
setting which relies upon knowing the actual screensize.
+ add functionality of tset -w to tput, like the "-c" feature this is
not optional in tput.
+ add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput.
+ improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow
for transformed names.
+ split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with
tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.
+ amend internal use of tputs to consistently use the number of lines
affected, e.g., for insert/delete character operations. While
merging terminfo source early in 1995, several descriptions used the
"*" proportional delay for these operations, prompting a change in
doupdate.
+ regenerate llib-* files.
+ regenerate HTML manpages.
+ fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
+ adjust size in infocmp/tic to work with strlcpy.
+ fix configure script to record when strlcat is found on OpenBSD.
+ build-fix for "recent" OpenBSD vs baudrate.
+ add -W option to tic/infocmp to force long strings to wrap. This is
in addition to the -w option which attempts to fit capabilities into
a given line-length.
+ add linux-m1 minitel entries (patch by Alexandre Montaron).
+ correct rs2 string for vt100-nam -TD
+ modify _nc_tic_expand to escape comma if it immediately follows a
percent sign, to work with minitel change.
+ updated minitel and viewdata descriptions (Alexandre Montaron).
+ trim dead code ifdef'd with HIDE_EINTR since 970830 (discussion with
Leon Winter).
+ trim some obsolete/incorrect wording about EINTR from wgetch manual
page (patch by Leon Winter).
+ really correct 20100515 change (patch by Rich Coe).
+ add "--enable-string-hacks" option to test/configure
+ completed string-hacks for "sprintf", etc., including test-programs.
+ make "--enable-string-hacks" work with Debian by checking for the
"bsd" library and its associated "<bsd/string.h>" header.
+ correct 20100515 change for weak signals versus sigprocmask (report
by Rich Coe).
+ modify misc/Makefile.in to work around OpenBSD "make" which unlike
all other versions of "make" does not recognize continuation lines
of comments.
+ amend the last change to CF_C_ENV_FLAGS to move only the
preprocessor, optimization and warning flags to CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS,
leaving the residue in CC. That happens to work for gcc's various
"model" options, but may require tuning for other compilers (report
by Sven Joachim).
