+ use _WIN32/_WIN64 in preference to __MINGW32__/__MINGW64__ symbols
to simplify building with MSVC, since the former are defined in both
compiler configurations (report by Ali Abdulkadir).
+ further improvements to configure-checks from work on dialog, i.e.,
updated CF_ADD_INCDIR, CF_FIND_LINKAGE, CF_GCC_WARNINGS,
CF_GNU_SOURCE, CF_LARGEFILE, CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE, CF_SIZECHANGE, and
CF_TRY_XOPEN_SOURCE.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+ modify generatesd ncurses*config and ncurses.pc, ncursesw.pc, etc.,
to list helper libraries such as gpm for static linking (Debian
#900839).
+ marked vwprintw and vwscanw as deprecated; recommend using vw_printw
and vw_scanw, respectively.
+ add note in curs_util.3x about unctrl.h
+ review/improve header files to ensure that those include necessary
files except for the previously-documented cases (report by Isaac
Pascual Monells).
+ improved test-package scripts, adapted from byacc 1.9 20180525.
+ fix some gcc8 warnings seen in Redhat package build, but
work around bug in gcc8 compiler warnings in comp_parse.c
+ remove trailing ';' from GCC_DEPRECATED definition.
+ repair a change from 20110730 which left an error-check/warning dead.
+ fix several minor Coverity warnings.
+ add deprecation warnings for internal functions called by older
versions of tack.
+ fix a special case in PutAttrChar() where a cell is marked as
alternate-character set, but the terminal does not actually support
the given graphic character. This would happen in an older terminal
such as vt52, which lacks most line-drawing capability.
+ use configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
conflict with Debian packages versus test-packages.
+ update tracemunch to work with perl 5.26.2, which changed the rules
for escaping regular expressions.
+ clarify in manual pages that vwprintw and vwscanw are obsolete,
not part of X/Open Curses since 2007.
+ use "const" in some prototypes rather than NCURSES_CONST where X/Open
Curses was updated to do this, e.g., wscanw, newterm, the terminfo
interface. Also use "const" for consistency in the termcap
interface, which was withdrawn by X/Open Curses in Issue 5 (2007).
As of Issue 7, X/Open Curses still lacks "const" for certain return
values, e.g., keyname().
+ fix a check in infotocap which may not have detected a problem when
it should have.
+ add a check in tic for the case where setf/setb are given using
different strings, but provide identical results to setaf/setab.
+ further improve fix for terminfo.5 (patch by Kir Kolyshkin).
+ reorder loop-limit checks in winsnstr() in case the string has no
terminating null and only the number of characters is used (patch
by Gyorgy Jeney).

+ add "termite" entry (report by Markus Pfeiffer) -TD
> merge branch begun April 2, 2017 which provides these features:
+ support read/write new binary-format for terminfo which stores
numeric capabilities as a signed 32-bit integer. The test programs
such as picsmap, ncurses were created or updated during 2017 to use
this feature.
+ the new format is written by the wide-character configuration of
tic when it finds a numeric capability larger than 32767.
+ other applications such as infocmp built with the wide-character
ncurses library work as expected.
+ applications built with the "narrow" (8-bit) configuration will
read the new format, but will limit those extended values to 32767.
+ in either wide/narrow configuration, the structure defined in
term.h still uses signed 16-bit values.
+ because it is incompatible with the legacy (mid-1980s) binary format,
a new magic value is provided for the "file" program.
+ the term.5 manual page is updated to describe this new format.
+ the limit on file-size for compiled terminfo is increased in the
wide-character configuration to 32768.
+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with Fedora27, adding check for
reset_color_pairs() -- not yet in Fedora's package.
+ consistently add $CFLAGS to $MK_SHARED_LIB symbol in configure
script when the latter happens to use the C compiler rather than
directly using the loader (report by Jeffrey Walton).
+ set ABI for upcoming 6.1 release in "*.map" files. While there are
some remaining internals to apply, no ABI-related changes are
anticipated.
+ add configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
conflict with Redhat packages versus test-packages.
+ modify misc/ncurses-config.in to make output with --includedir
consistent with --cflags, i.e., when --disable-overwrite option was
configured the output should show the subdirectory where headers
are.
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to suppress macros when calling an "implemented"
function in link_test.c
+ updated ftp-url used in test-packages, etc.
+ modify order of -pie/-shared options in configure script in case
LDFLAGS uses "-pie", working around a defect or limitation in the GNU
linker (prompted by patch by Yogesh Prasad, forwarded by Jay Shah).
+ add entry in man_db.renames for user_caps.5
+ 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
+ improve man/curs_inwstr.3x, correct end-logic for lib_inwstr.c
(report by Midolikawa H).
+ fix typo in a few places for "improvements" (patch by Sven Joachim).
+ clear the other half of a double-width character on which a line
drawing character is drawn.
+ make test/ncurses.c "s" test easier to understand which subtests are
available; add a "S" wide-character overlap test-screen.
+ modify test/ncurses.c C/c tests to allow for extended color pairs.
+ add endwin() call in error-returns from test/ncurses.c omitted in
recent redesign of its menu (cf: 20170923).
+ improve install of hashed-db by removing the ".db" file as done for
directory-tree terminal databases.
+ repair a few overlooked items in include/ncurses_defs from recent
port/refactoring of test-programs (cf: 20170909).
+ add test/padview.c, to compare pads with direct updates in view.c
+ fix a symbol conflict that made ncurses.c C/c menu not work with
Solaris xpg4 curses.
+ add refresh() call to dots_mvcur.c, needed to use mvcur() with
Solaris xpg4 curses after calling newterm().
+ minor fixes for configure script from work on ncurses-examples and
tin.
+ improve animation in test/xmas.c by adding a time-delay in blinkit().
+ modify several test programs to reflect that ncurses honors existing
signal handlers in initscr(), while other implementations do not.
+ modify bs.c to make it easier to quit.
+ change ncurses-examples to use attr_t vs chtype to follow X/Open
documentation more closely since Solaris xpg4-curses uses different
values for WA_xxx vs A_xxx that rely on attr_t being an unsigned
short. Tru64 aka OSF1, HPUX, AIX did as ncurses does, equating the
two sets.
+ improve wide-character implementation of myADDNSTR() in frm_driver.c,
which was inconsistent with the normal implementation.
+ save/restore cursor position in Undo_Justification(), matching
behavior of Buffer_To_Window() (report by Leon Winter).
+ modify test/knight to provide the "slow" solution for small screens
using "R", noting that Warnsdorf's method is easily done with "a".
+ modify several test-programs which call use_default_colors() to
consistently do this only if "-d" option is given.
+ additional changes to test with non-standard variants of curses:
+ modify a loop limit in firework.c to work around absense of limit
checks in some libraries.
+ fill the last row of a window with "?" in firstlast if waddch does
not return ERR on the lower-right corner.
+ add checks in test/configure for some functions not in 4.3BSD curses.
+ fix a regression in test/configure (cf: 20170826).
+ fixes for "iterm2" (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
+ corrected a warning from tic about keys which are the same, to skip
over missing/cancelled values.
+ add check in tic for unnecessary use of "2" to denote a shifted
special key.
+ improve checks in trim_sgr0, comp_parse.c and parse_entry.c, for
cancelled string capabilities.
+ add check in _nc_parse_entry() for invalid entry name, setting the
name to "invalid" to avoid problems storing entries.
+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
+ add a check in comp_scan.c to handle the special case where a
nontext file ending with a NUL rather than newline is given to tic
as input (Redhat #1484274).
+ allow for cancelled capabilities in _nc_save_str (Redhat #1484276).
+ add validity checks for "use=" target in _nc_parse_entry (Redhat
#1484284).
+ check for invalid strings in postprocess_termcap (Redhat #1484285)
+ reset secondary pointers on EOF in next_char() (Redhat #1484287).
+ guard _nc_safe_strcpy() and _nc_safe_strcat() against calls using
cancelled strings (Redhat #1484291).

+ improve test/configure checks for some curses variants not based on
X/Open Curses.
+ add options for test/configure to disable checks for form, menu and
panel libraries.
+ 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
+ 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 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.

behavior when shifting (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ 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

+ 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.

+ 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

+ 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).

+ 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

--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.
+ 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.
+ 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.

Leon Winter).
+ trim some obsolete/incorrect wording about EINTR from wgetch manual
page (patch by Leon Winter).

in sed (Debian #818067).
+ amend fix for _nc_ripoffline from 20091031 to make test/ditto.c work
in threaded configuration.
+ move _nc_tracebits, _tracedump and _tracemouse to curses.priv.h,
since they are not part of the suggested ABI6.
+ 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.
+ 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.

+ 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.

(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

+ 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

for a magic code at the beginning:
0 string \210\210 Screen-dump (ncurses)
+ modify declarations for user-data pointers in C++ binding to use
reinterpret_cast to facilitate converting typed pointers to void*
in user's application (patch by Adam Jiang).

+ add note regarding cause and effect for TERM in ncurses manpage,
having noted clueless verbiage in Terminal.app's "help" file
which reverses cause/effect.

+ correct syntax for padding in some entries: dg211, h19 -TD
+ correct ti924-8 which had confused padding versus octal escapes -TD
+ correct padding in sbi entry -TD
+ fix an old bug in the termcap emulation; "%i" was ignored in tparm()
because the parameters to be incremented were already on the internal
stack (report by Corinna Vinschen).
+ modify tic's "-c" option to take into account the "-C" option to
activate additional checks which compare the results from running
tparm() on the terminfo expressions versus the translated termcap
expressions.
+ modify tic to allow it to read from FIFOs (report by Matthieu Fronton,
cf: 20120324).
> patches by Nicolas Boulenguez:
+ explicit dereferences to suppress some style warnings.
+ when c_varargs_to_ada.c includes its header, use double quotes
instead of <>.
+ samples/ncurses2-util.adb: removed unused with clause. The warning
was removed by an obsolete pragma.
+ replaced Unreferenced pragmas with Warnings (Off). The latter,
available with older GNATs, needs no configure test. This also

some basic formatting, and avoids a warning about security with some
compiler flags.

package.
+ removed C_Chtype and its conversions.
+ removed C_AttrType and its conversions.

+ removed int, Field_Option_Set, Item_Option_Set conversions.
+ removed C_TraceType, Attribute_Option_Set conversions.
