+ add bw (auto-left-margin) to nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler)

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

subdirectory and using just that for a -I option does not work - fix
(report by Frederic L W Meunier).

deciding whether to add $LIBS to --libs output; that should be shown
for the ncurses and tinfo libraries without taking rpath into
account.

used in static libraries (report by Marty Jack).
+ add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris (report by Dagobert Michelsen).

by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS values to the
search-lists.
+ correct title string for keybound manpage (patch by Frederic Culot,
OpenBSD documentation/6019),

character is found. The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to

display meta-characters.
+ turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h

+ correct check for notimeout() in wgetch() (report on linux.redhat
newsgroup by FurtiveBertie).
+ add an example warning-suppression file for valgrind,
misc/ncurses.supp (based on example from Reuben Thomas)

makes threaded code work on HPUX 11.23
+ fix a bug in demo_menus in freeing menus (cf: 20080804).

+ modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix
overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD
+ modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the
global SP.
+ simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and
each_ripoff().

multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens.
+ fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran).
+ add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD
+ modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from
being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings.
+ improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout.
+ several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD

+ fix allocation-size for command-line parsing in infocmp from 20070728
(report by Miroslav Lichvar)

question).
+ change test/ncurses.c soft-key tests to work with KEY_RESIZE.

without libtic. The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
that library.
+ add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).
+ fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat Bugzilla
#310071, patches by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ improve performance of NCURSES_CHAR_EQ code (patch by Miroslav
Lichvar).

the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
+ add 9term terminal description (request by Juhapekka Tolvanen) -TD
+ modify comp_hash.c's string output to avoid misinterpreting a null
"\0" followed by a digit.
+ modify MKnames.awk and MKcodes.awk to support big-strings.
This only applies to the cases (broken linker, reentrant) where
the corresponding arrays are accessed via wrapper functions.
+ split MKnames.awk into two scripts, eliminating the shell redirection
which complicated the make process and also the bogus timestamp file
which was introduced to fix "make -j".
+ add test/test_opaque.c, test/test_arrays.c
+ add wgetscrreg() and wgetparent() for applications that may need it
when NCURSES_OPAQUE is defined (prompted by Bryan Christ).

+ update config.guess, config.sub
+ corrected xterm+pcf2 terminfo modifiers for F1-F4, to match xterm
#226 -TD
+ split-out key_name() from MKkeyname.awk since it now depends upon
wunctrl() which is not in libtinfo (report by Rong-En Fan).
+ modify Ada95 binding to build with --enable-reentrant by wrapping
global variables (bug: acs_map does not yet work).
+ modify Ada95 binding to use the new access-functions, allowing it
to build/run when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
+ add access-functions and macros to return properties of the WINDOW
structure, e.g., when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
+ improved install-sh's quoting.
+ use mkdirs.sh rather than mkinstalldirs, e.g., to use fixes from
other programs.
NCURSES_OPAQUE set, since we cannot pass a reference to
+ ignore --with-chtype=unsigned since unsigned is always added to
the type in curses.h; do the same for --with-mmask-t.
+ change warning regarding --enable-ext-colors and wide-character
in the configure script to an error.
+ tweak error message in CF_WITH_LIBTOOL to distinguish other programs
such as Darwin's libtool program (report by Michail Vidiassov)

Vidiassov).
+ corrected length of temporary buffer in wide-character version
of set_field_buffer() (related to report by Bryan Christ).
+ regenerated html documentation.
+ add NCURSES_OPAQUE symbol to curses.h, will use to make structs
opaque in selected configurations.
+ move the chunk in lib_acs.c which resets acs capabilities when
running on a terminal whose locale interferes with those into
_nc_setupscreen(), so the libtinfo/libtinfow files can be made
identical (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ do not use configure variable SHLIB_LIBS for building libraries
outside the ncurses directory, since that symbol is customized
only for that directory, and using it introduces an unneeded
dependency on libdl (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or
installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in
case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh (report by Jeff
Chua).
+ revised section "Using NCURSES under XTERM" in ncurses-intro.html
(prompted by newsgroup comment by Nick Guenther).
+ add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the
_first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak).
+ add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the
ncurses build-tree.

in a separate library (suggestd by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ modify configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines

to manpages as needed.
+ fix a typo in curs_mouse.3x (report by William McBrine).
+ fix install-rule for ncurses5-config to make the bin-directory.

+ modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath.
+ update config.guess, config.sub
