+ define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN for MinGW port, making builds faster.
+ modify test/ditto.c to allow $XTERM_PROG environment variable to
override "xterm" as the name of the program to run in the threaded
configuration.
+ improve formatting of man/curs_refresh.3x and man/tset.1 manpages
+ regenerate HTML manpages using newer man2html to eliminate some
unwanted blank lines.
+ 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

+ 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.
+ 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.

+ 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.
+ amend change to ".pc" files to only use the extra loader flags which
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.
+ modify the configure script to allow different default values
for ABI 5 versus ABI 6.
+ add wgetch-events to test-packages.
+ add a note on how to build ncurses-examples to test/README.
+ fix a memory leak in delscreen (report by Daniel Kahn Gillmor,
Debian #783486) -TD
+ remove unnecessary ';' from E3 capabilities -TD
+ add tmux entry, derived from screen (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+ split-out recent change to nsterm-bce as nsterm-build326, and add
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.
+ corrected build rules for Ada95/gen/generate; it does not depend on
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)
+ fix repeated "extra-suffix" in ncurses-config.in (cf: 20150418).

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).
