+ modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
for LIBS_TO_MAKE variable.
+ modify configure script to show $PATH_SEPARATOR variable.
+ update config.guess, config.sub
+ modify setupterm to set its copy of TERM to "unknown" if configured
for the terminal driver and TERM was null or empty.
+ modify treatment of TERM variable for MinGW port to allow explicit
use of the windows console driver by checking if $TERM is set to
"#win32con" or an abbreviation of that.
+ undo recent change to fallback definition of vsscanf() to build with
older Solaris compilers (cf: 20120728).
to help with MinGW port.

+ improve limit-checks for the getch fifo (report by Werner Fink).
+ fix a remaining mismatch between $with_echo and the symbols updated
by CF_DISABLE_ECHO affecting parameters for mk-2nd.awk (report by

if screensize is unchanged. Modify _nc_update_screensize() to push a
KEY_RESIZE if there was a SIGWINCH, even if it does not call
resizeterm(). These changes eliminate the case where a SIGWINCH is
received, but ERR returned from wgetch or wgetnstr because the screen
dimensions did not change (Novell #769788).
+ add --enable-interop to sample package scripts (suggested by Juergen
Pfeifer).
+ update CF_PATH_SYNTAX macro, from mawk changes.
+ modify mk-0th.awk to allow for generating llib-ltic, etc., though

duplicate free of entries given via the command-line, and freeing
entries loaded from the last-but-one of files specified on the
command-line.
+ add kdch1 to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (reported by David Lord,
analysis by Martin Husemann).

freebsd-hackers mailing list).
+ corrected 'op' for bterm (report by Samuel Thibault) -TD
+ modify test/background.c to demonstrate a background character
holding a colored ACS_HLINE. The behavior differs from SVr4 due to
the thick- and double-line extension (cf: 20091003).
+ modify handling of acs characters in PutAttrChar to avoid mapping an
unmapped character to a space with A_ALTCHARSET set.
+ rewrite vt520 entry based on vt420 -TD

+ drop wsl width from xterm+sl -TD
+ reuse xterm+sl in putty and nsca-m -TD
+ add ansi+tabs to vt520 -TD
+ add ansi+enq to vt220-vt520 -TD
+ fix a compiler warning in example in ncurses-intro.doc (Paul Waring).
+ added paragraph in keyname manpage telling how extended capabilities
are interpreted as key definitions.
+ modify tic's check of conflicting key definitions to include extended
capability strings in addition to the existing check on predefined
keys.
+ improve cleanup of temporary files in tic using atexit().
+ add msgr to vt420, similar DEC vtXXX entries -TD
+ add several missing vt420 capabilities from vt220 -TD
+ factor out ansi+pp from several entries -TD
+ change xterm+sl and xterm+sl-twm to include only the status-line
capabilities and not "use=xterm", making them more generally useful
as building-blocks -TD
+ add dec+sl building block, as example -TD
+ add XT to some terminfo entries to improve usefulness for other
applications than screen, which would like to pretend that xterm's
title is a status-line. -TD

of ordering and overrides -TD
+ add consistency check in tic for screen's "XT" capability.
+ add section in terminfo.src summarizing the user-defined capabilities
used in that file -TD
+ fix an inconsistency between tic/infocmp "-x" option; tic omits all
non-standard capabilities, while infocmp was ignoring only the user
definable capabilities.
+ improve special case in tic parsing of description to allow it to be
followed by terminfo capabilities. Previously the description had to
be the last field on an input line to allow tic to distinguish
between termcap and terminfo format while still allowing commas to be
embedded in the description.
+ correct variable name in gen_edit.sh which broke configurability of
the --with-xterm-kbs option.
+ revert 2011-07-16 change to "linux" alias, return to "linux2.2" -TD

+ modify configure script to look for gnatgcc if the Ada95 binding
is built, in preference to the default gcc/cc (suggested by
Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ modify configure script to ensure that the same -On option used for
the C compiler in CFLAGS is used for ADAFLAGS rather than simply
using -O3 (suggested by Nicolas Boulenguez)
+ amend an old fix so that next_char() exits properly for empty files,
e.g., from reading /dev/null (cf: 20080804).
+ modify tic so that it can read from the standard input, or from
a character device. Because tic uses seek's, this requires writing
the data to a temporary file first (prompted by remark by Sven
Joachim) (cf: 20000923).
+ correct a check made in lib_napms.c, so that terminfo applications
can again use napms() (cf: 20110604).
+ add a note in tic.h regarding required casts for ABSENT_BOOLEAN
(cf: 20040327).

loops.
+ fix no-leaks checking in test/demo_termcap.c to account for multiple
calls to setupterm().
+ modified the libgpm change to show previous load as a problem in the
debug-trace.

fallback entries
+ modify configure script to allow creating dll's for MinGW when
cross-compiling.
+ add --enable-string-hacks option to control whether strlcat and
strlcpy may be used. The same issue applies to OpenBSD's warnings
about snprintf, noting that this function is weakly standardized.
+ add configure checks for strlcat, strlcpy and snprintf, to help
reduce bogus warnings with OpenBSD builds.
+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 to supply consistent intptr_t declaration
(cf:20111231)

+ improve configure macro CF_FUNC_POLL from luit changes to detect
broken implementations, e.g., with Mac OS X.
+ add configure option --with-tparm-arg
+ build-fix for MinGW cross-compiling, so that make_hash does not
depend on TTY definition (cf: 20111008).

consistent with misc/Makefile.in, i.., using ${datadir}/tabset
(Debian #653435, patch by Sven Joachim).
+ add --with-lib-prefix option to allow configuring for old/new flavors
of OS/2 EMX.
+ modify check for gnat version to allow for year, as used in FreeBSD
port.
+ modify check_existence() in db_iterator.c to simply check if the
path is a directory or file, according to the need. Checking for
directory size also gives no usable result with OS/2 (cf: 20120107).
+ support OS/2 kLIBC (patch by KO Myung-Han).
+ several improvements to test/movewindow.c (prompted by discussion on
Linux Mint forum):
+ modify movement commands to make them continuous
+ rewrote the test for mvderwin
+ rewrote the test for recursive mvwin
+ split-out reusable CF_WITH_NCURSES_ETC macro in test/configure.in

+ modify progs/toe.c, simplifying use of db-iterator results to use
caching improvements from 20111001 and 20111126.
+ correct generation of pc-files when ticlib or termlib options are
given to rename the corresponding tic- or tinfo-libraries (report
by Sven Joachim).
+ document a portability issue with tput, i.e., that scripts which work
with ncurses may fail in other implementations that do no parameter
analysis.
+ add putty-sco entry -TD
+ review/fix places in manpages where --program-prefix configure option
was not being used.
+ add -D option to infocmp, to show the database locations that it
could use.
+ fix build for the special case where term-driver, ticlib and termlib
are all enabled. The terminal driver depends on a few features in
the base ncurses library, so tic's dependencies include both ncurses
and termlib.
+ fix build work for term-driver when --enable-wgetch-events option is
enabled.
+ use <stdint.h> types to fix some questionable casts to void*.
+ modify configure script to check if thread library provides
pthread_mutexattr_settype(), e.g., not provided by Solaris 2.6
+ modify configure script to suppress check to define _XOPEN_SOURCE
for IRIX64, since its header files have a conflict versus
_SGI_SOURCE.
+ modify configure script to add ".pc" files for tic- and
tinfo-libraries, which were omitted in recent change (cf: 20111126).
+ fix inconsistent checks on $PKG_CONFIG variable in configure script.
+ modify configure-check for etip.h dependencies, supplying a temporary
copy of ncurses_dll.h since it is a generated file (prompted by
Debian #646977).
+ modify CF_CPP_PARAM_INIT "main" function to work with current C++.
