+ fix a few warnings for gcc 4.x
+ add some portability/historical details to the tic, toe and infocmp
manual pages.
+ correct fix for broken link from terminfo(5) to tabs(1) manpage
(report by Sven Joachim).
+ improve manual page for wgetnstr, giving background for the length
parameter.
+ define a limit for wgetnstr, wgetn_wstr when length is negative or
"too large".
+ update configure script to autoconf 2.52.20180819 (Debian #887390).
+ 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 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.
+ 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 "@, -".
+ 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.
+ add special case to _nc_infotocap() to recognize the setaf/setab
strings from xterm+256color and xterm+88color, and provide a reduced
version which works with termcap.
+ remove obsolete emacs "Local Variables" section from documentation
(request by Sven Joachim).
+ update doc/html/index.html to include NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html
(report by Sven Joachim).
+ improve linkages in html manpages, adding references to the newer
pages, e.g., *_variables, curs_sp_funcs, curs_threads.
+ add checks in tic for inconsistent cursor-movement controls, and for
inconsistent printer-controls.
+ fill in no-parameter forms of cursor-movement where a parameterized
form is available -TD
+ fill in missing cursor controls where the form of the controls is
ANSI -TD
+ fix inconsistent punctuation in form_variables manpage (patch by
Sven Joachim).
+ add parameterized cursor-controls to linux-basic (report by Dae) -TD
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ document how to build 32-bit libraries in README.MinGW
+ fixes to filename computation in mk-dlls.sh.in
+ use POSIX locale in mk-dlls.sh.in rather than en_US (report by Sven
Joachim).
+ add a check in mk-dlls.sh.in to obtain the size of a pointer to
distinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit hosts. The result is stored
in mingw_arch
+ document in manpages that "mv" functions first use wmove() to check
the window pointer and whether the position lies within the window
(suggested by Poul-Henning Kamp).
+ fixes to curs_color.3x, curs_kernel.3x and wresize.3x manpages (patch
by Tim van der Molen).
+ modify configure script to transform library names for tic- and
tinfo-libraries so that those build properly with Mac OS X shared
library configuration.
+ modify configure script to ensure that it removes conftest.dSYM
directory leftover on checks with Mac OS X.
+ modify configure script to cleanup after check for symbolic links.
+ modify initialization check for win32con driver to eliminate need for
special case for TERM "unknown", using terminal database if available
(prompted by discussion with Roumen Petrov).
+ for MinGW port, ensure that terminal driver is setup if tgetent()
is called (patch by Roumen Petrov).
+ document tabs "-0" and "-8" options in manpage.
+ fix Debian "lintian" issues with manpages reported in
http://lintian.debian.org/full/csmall@debian.org.html#ncurses
