+ 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".

deb test-packages.
+ split spec-file into ncurses6.spec and ncursest6.spec to work around
toolset breakage in Fedora 28.
+ drop mention of "--disable-touching", which was not in the final
20180818 updates.
+ add acsc string to vi200 (Nibby Nebbulous)
add right/down-arrow to vi200's acsc -TD
+ add "x" to tput's getopt string so that "tput -x clear" works

+ 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interface, which was withdrawn by X/Open Curses in Issue 5 (2007).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().

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).

avoid expansion of "CUR" in trace.
+ improve a few lintian warnings in test-packages.
+ modify lib_setup to avoid calling pthread_self() without first
verifying that the address is valid, i.e., for weak symbols
(report/patch by Werner Fink).
+ modify generated terminfo.5 to not use "expand" and related width
on the last column of tables, making layout on wide terminals look
better (adapted from patch by Kir Kolyshkin).
+ add a category to report_offsets, e.g., "w" for wide-character, "t"
for threads to make the report more readable. Reorganized the
structures reported to make the categories more apparent.
+ simplify some ifdef's for extended-colors.

> 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.
+ fixes for writing extended color pairs in putwin.
+ modify test/savescreen.c to add test patterns that exercise 88-,
256-, etc., colors.
+ modify configure option --with-build-cc, adding clang, c89 and c99
as possible default values.
+ modify ncurses-examples configure script to use pkg-config for the
extra form/menu/panel libraries, to be more consistent with the
handling of the curses/ncurses library.
+ modify test-packages for mingw to supply "pc" files.
+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to list -lpthread as a private library when
configured to access it via weak symbols.
+ simplify gen-pkgconfig.in, adding -ltinfo without the special linker
checks because some versions of the linker simply hard-code the
behavior.
+ update URLs for ncurses website to use https.
+ modify CF_CURSES_LIBS to fill in $cf_nculib_root in case the
ncurses-examples are built with a system ncurses that lacks the
standard "curses" symbolic link, as done by SuSE. The symbol is
needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and
would be set properly using the options "--with-screen", etc.
+ generate misc/*.pc with "all" rule, as done for "sources" rule
(report by Jeffrey Walton).
+ repair template in test/package/ncurses-examples.spec (cf: 20171111).
+ improve tic's warning about the number of parameters tparm might use
for u1-u9 by making a special case for u6.
+ improve curs_attr.3x discussion of color pairs.
+ 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
+ add a note to curs_addch.3x on portability.
+ add a note to curs_pad.3x on the origin and portability of pads.
+ improve manpage description of getattrs (report by Midolikawa H).
+ improve manpage macros (prompted by discussion in Debian #880551.
+ reviewed test-programs using KEY_RESIZE, made fixes to test/worm.c
+ add a "-d" option to picsmap for default-colors.
+ modify old terminology entry and a few other terminal emulators to
account for xon -TD
+ correct sgr string for tmux, which used screen's "standout" code
rather than the standard code (patch by Roman Kagan)
+ correct sgr/sgr0 strings in a few other cases reported by tic, making
those correspond to the non-sgr settings where they differ, but
otherwise use ECMA-48 consistently:
jaixterm, aixterm, att5420_2, att4424, att500, decansi, d410-7b,
dm80, hpterm, emu-220, hp2, iTerm2.app, mterm-ansi, ncrvt100an,
st-0.7, vi603, vwmterm -TD
+ build-fix for diagnostics warning in lib_mouse.c for pre-5.0 versions
of gcc which did not recognize the diagnostic "push" pragma (patch by
Vassili Courzakis).
+ 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
+ minor cleanup to test/view.c:
+ eliminate "-n" option by simply reading the whole file.
+ implement page up/down commands.
+ add check in tput for init/reset operands to ensure those use a
terminal.
+ improve manual pages which discuss chtype, cchar_t types and the
attribute values which can be stored in those types.
+ correct array-index when parsing "-T" command-line option in tabs
program.
+ modify demo_new_pair.c to pass extended pairs to setcchar().
+ add test/dots_xcurses.c to illustrate a different approach used for
extended colors which can be contrasted with dots_curses.c.
+ add a check in tic to note when a description uses non-mandatory
delays without xon_xoff. This is not an error, but some descriptions
for a terminal emulator may use the combination incorrectly.
+ modify "-T" option of clear and tput to call use_tioctl() to obtain
the operating system's notion of the screensize if possible.
+ review/repair some exit-codes for tput, making usage-message exit
with 2 rather than 1, and a failure to open terminal 4+errno.
+ amend check in tput, tabs and clear to allow those to use the
database-only features in cron if a -T option gives a suitable
terminal name (report by Lauri Tirkkonen).
+ correct an ifdef in test/ncurses.c for systems with soft-keys but
not slk_color().
+ regenerate man-html documentation.
+ 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).

+ 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).
+ correct typo in curs_memleaks.3x (Sven Joachim).
+ 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.
+ update "iterm" entry -TD
+ add "iterm2" entry (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
+ regenerate llib-* files.
+ regenerate HTML manpages.
+ improve picsmap test-program:
+ reduce memory used for tsearch
+ add report in log file showing cumulative color coverage.
+ add -x option to clear/tput to make the E3 extension optional
(cf: 20130622).
+ add options -T and -V to clear command for compatibility with tput.
+ add usage message to clear command (Debian #371855).
+ improve usage messages for tset and tput.
+ minor fixes to "RDGB" extension and reset_color_pairs().
+ 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
+ update interix entry using tack and SFU on Windows 7 Ultimate -TD
+ use ^? for kdch1 in interix (reported by Jonathan de Boyne Pollard)
+ add "rep" to xterm-new, available since 1997/01/26 -TD
+ move SGR 24 and 27 from vte-2014 to vte-2012 (request by Alain
Williams) -TD
+ add a check in newline_forces_scroll() in case a program moves the
cursor outside scrolling margins (report by Robert King).
+ improve _nc_tparm_analyze, using that to extend the checks made by
tic for reporting inconsistencies between the expected number of
parameters for a capability and the actual.
+ amend handling of repeat_char capability in EmitRange (adapted from
report/patch by Dick Wesseling):
+ translate the character to the alternate character set when the
alternate character set is enabled.
+ do not use repeat_char for characters past 255.
+ document "_nc_free_tinfo" in manual page, because it could be used in
tack for memory-leak checking.
+ add "--without-tack" configure option to refine "--with-progs"
configure option. Normally tack is no longer built in-tree, but
a few packagers combine it during the build. If term_entry.h is
installed, there is no advantage to in-tree builds.
+ adjust configure-script to define HAVE_CURSES_DATA_BOOLNAMES symbol
needed for tack 1.08 when built in-tree. Rather than relying upon
internal "_nc_" functions, tack now uses the boolean, number and
string capability name-arrays provided by ncurses and SVr4 Unix
curses. It still uses term_entry.h for the definitions of the
extended capability arrays.
+ add an overlooked null-pointer check in mvcur changes from 20170722
+ 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.
+ amend changes for number_format() in 20170506 to avoid undefined
behavior when shifting (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ 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.
+ modify test/picsmap.c to read xpm files.
+ modify package/debian/* to create documentation packages, so the
related files can be checked with lintian.
+ fix some typos in manpages (report/patch by Sven Joachim).
+ modify tic/infocmp display of numeric values to use hexadecimal when
they are "close" to a power of two, making the result more readable.
+ improve discussion of portability in curs_mouse.3x
+ change line-length for generated html/manpages to 78 columns from 65.
+ improve discussion of line-drawing characters in curs_add_wch.3x
(prompted by discussion with Lorinczy Zsigmond).
+ cleanup formatting of hackguide.html and ncurses-intro.html
+ add examples for WACS_D_PLUS and WACS_T_PLUS to test/ncurses.c
+ corrected a case where $with_gpm was set to "maybe" after CF_WITH_GPM,
overlooked in 20160528 fixes (report by Alexandre Bury).
+ improve a couple of test-program's help-messages.
+ corrected loop in rain.c from 20170415 changes.
+ modify winnstr and winchnstr to return error if the output pointer is
null, as well as adding a null pointer check of the window pointer
for better compatibility with other implementations.
+ improve discussion of NetBSD curses in scr_dump.5
+ modify LIMIT_TYPED macro in new_pair.h to avoid changing sign of the
value to be limited (reports by Darby Payne, Rob Boudreau).
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+ build-fix for termcap-configuration (report by Chi-Hsuan Yen).
+ improve terminfo manual page discussion of control- and graphics-
characters.
+ remove tic warning about "^?" in string capabilities, which was
marked as an extension (cf: 20000610, 20110820); however all Unix
implementations support this and X/Open Curses does not address it.
On the other hand, termcap never did support this feature.
+ correct missing comma-separator between string capabilities in
icl6402 and m2-nam -TD
+ restore rmir/smir in ansi+idc to better match original ansiterm+idc,
add alias ansiterm (report by Robert King).
+ amend an old check for ambiguous use of "ma" in terminfo versus
a termcap use, if the capability is cancelled to treat it as number.
+ correct a case in _nc_captoinfo() which read "%%" and emitted "%".
+ modify sscanf calls in _nc_infotocap() for patterns "%{number}%+%c"
and "%'char'%+%c" to check that the final character is really 'c',
avoiding a case in icl6404 which cannot be converted to termcap.
+ in _nc_infotocap(), add a check to ensure that terminfo "^?" is not
written to termcap, because the BSDs did not implement that.
+ in _nc_tic_expand() and _nc_infotocap(), improve string-length check
when deciding whether to use "^X" or "\xxx" format for control
characters, to make the output of tic/infocmp more predictable.
+ limit termcap "%d" width to 2 digits on input, and use "%2" in
preference to "%02" on output.
+ correct terminfo/termcap conversion of "%02" and "%03" into "%2" and
"%3"; the result repeated the last character.
+ add man/scr_dump.5 to document screen-dump format.
+ 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
+ fix some old copyright dates (cf: 20031025).
+ 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.
+ minor fixes for vt100+4bsd, e.g., delay in sgr for consistency -TD
+ 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).
+ fix a couple of broken links in generated man-html documentation.
+ 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
+ correct a few spelling errors in terminfo.src comments -TD
+ add fbterm -TD
+ fix a typo in ncurses.c test_attr legend (patch by Petr Vanek).
+ changed internal colorpair_t to a struct, eliminating an internal
8-bit limit on colors
+ add ncurses/new_pair.h
+ add ncurses/base/new_pair.c with alloc_pair(), find_pair() and
free_pair() functions
+ add test/demo_new_pair.c
+ improve terminfo manual description of terminfo syntax.
+ clarify the use of wint_t vs wchar_t in curs_get_wstr.3x
+ improve description of endwin() in manual.
+ modify setcchar() and getcchar() to treat negative color-pair as an
error.
+ fix a typo in include/hashed_db.h (Andre Sa).
+ 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 "@, -".
+ 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.
+ minor comment-fixes to help automate links to bug-urls -TD
+ add dvtm, dvtm-256color -TD
+ add settings corresponding to xterm-keys option to tmux entry to
reflect upcoming change to make that option "on" by default
(patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+ uncancel Ms in tmux entry (Harry Gindi, Nicholas Marriott).
+ add dumb-emacs-ansi -TD
+ improve discussion of early history of tput program.
+ 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.
+ improve discussion of early history of tset/reset programs.
+ clarify in manual pages that the optional verbose option level is
available only when ncurses is configured for tracing.
+ amend change from 20161231 to avoid writing traces to the standard
error after initializing the trace feature using the environment
variable.
+ 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.
+ fix errata for ncurses-howto (report by Damien Ruscoe).
+ fix a few places in configure/build scripts where DESTDIR and rpath
were combined (report by Thomas Klausner).
+ merge current st description (report by Harry Gindi) -TD
+ modify flash capability for linux and wyse entries to put the delay
between the reverse/normal escapes rather than after -TD
+ modify program tabs to pass the actual tty file descriptor to
setupterm rather than the standard output, making padding work
consistently.
+ explain in clear's manual page that it writes to stdout.
+ add special case for verbose debugging traces of command-line
utilities which write to stderr (cf: 20161126).
+ remove a trace with literal escapes from skip_DECSCNM(), added in
20161203.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
