+ amend fix for Debian #542031 to ensure that wattrset() returns only
OK or ERR, rather than the attribute value (report by Miroslav
Lichvar).

_nc_screen_of() compatible between normal/wide libraries again (patch
by Miroslav Lichvar)
+ review/fix include-dependencies in modules files (report by Miroslav
Lichvar).
+ modify win_driver.c to initialize acs_map for win32 console, so

a terminfo entry, so that infocmp can report the filename (patch
by Nicholas Marriott).
+ modify mk-1st.awk to allow tinfo library to be built when term-driver
is enabled.
+ add error-check to configure script to ensure that sp-funcs is
enabled if term-driver is, since some internal interfaces rely upon
this.
+ fix case where progs/tput is used while sp-funcs is configure; this
requires save/restore of out-character function from _nc_prescreen

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).
+ document return code from define_key (report by Mike Gran).
+ make some symbolic links in the terminfo directory-tree shorter
(patch by Daniel Jacobowitz, forwarded by Sven Joachim).).

change the size of cchar_t, and would be ABI-incompatible.

differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX getcchar() return
values.

+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).

by Kalle Olavi Niemitalo).
+ improve test/ncurses.c 'F' test, show combining characters in color.
+ quiet a false report by cppcheck in c++/cursesw.cc by eliminating
a temporary variable.

Egert and Martin Ettl based on cppcheck tool).

with Charles Wilson).
+ use ncurses*-config scripts if available for test/configure.
+ update test/aclocal.m4 and test/configure
> patches by Charles Wilson:
+ 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 -no-undefined option for libtool by setting an
intermediate variable LT_UNDEF in the configure script, and then
using that in the libtool link-commands.
+ fix an missing use of NCURSES_PUBLIC_VAR() in tinfo/MKcodes.awk
from 2009031 changes.
+ improve mk-1st.awk script by writing separate cases for the

enable-reentrant, to set public wrap prefix.
+ add TICS_LIST and SHLIB_LIST to allow libtool 2.2.6 on Cygwin to

such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix (reports by Charles
Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing

Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static libc, and
does not switch back to dynamic mode before finishing the libraries
(reports by Joel Bertrand, Alan Pae).
+ minor fixes to Intel compiler warning checks in configure script.

changes from 20090228 (report by Charles Wilson).

some internals work is needed to complete these).
+ add special cases to configure script for MinGW port.
+ 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

GenToo #250454).
+ fixes from NetBSD port at
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/patches

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.

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).

+ document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
+ fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
+ add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from

+ fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
+ fix build for --disable-sigwinch
+ add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
+ 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 (report by
Miroslav Lichvar).
+ fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.

+ move call of slk_paint_info() from _nc_slk_initialize() to
slk_intern_refresh(), improving initialization.
+ modify configure check for pthread library to work with OSF/1 5.1,
which uses #define's to associate its header and library.

makes threaded code work on HPUX 11.23
+ fix a bug in demo_menus in freeing menus (cf: 20080804).
+ modify configure script for the case where tic library is used (and
possibly renamed) to remove its dependency upon ncurses/ncursew
library (patch by Dr Werner Fink).
+ correct manpage for menu_fore() which gave wrong default for
the attribute used to display a selected entry (report by Mike Gran).

Debian #495815) -TD
+ add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
+ add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
+ modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
etc. This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
Werner Fink).
+ add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
+ document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted
by comments by Samuel Thibault).
