+ modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the
screensize if it was already set in the system, to improve tabstop
setting which relies upon knowing the actual screensize.
+ add functionality of tset -w to tput, like the "-c" feature this is
not optional in tput.
+ add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput.
+ improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow
for transformed names.
+ split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with
tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.
+ trim dead code ifdef'd with HIDE_EINTR since 970830 (discussion with
Leon Winter).
+ trim some obsolete/incorrect wording about EINTR from wgetch manual
page (patch by Leon Winter).
+ really correct 20100515 change (patch by Rich Coe).
+ add "--enable-string-hacks" option to test/configure
+ completed string-hacks for "sprintf", etc., including test-programs.
+ make "--enable-string-hacks" work with Debian by checking for the
"bsd" library and its associated "<bsd/string.h>" header.
+ add "v" menu entry to test/ncurses.c to show baudrate and other
values.
+ add "newer" baudrate symbols from Linux and FreeBSD to progs/tset.c,
lib_baudrate.c
+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro:
+ add "uclinux" to case for "linux" (patch by Yann E. Morin)
+ modify _GNU_SOURCE for cygwin headers, tested with cygwin 2.3, 2.5
(patch by Corinna Vinschen, from changes to tin).
+ improve CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS macro to allow for compiler wrappers such
as "ccache" (report by Enrico Scholz).
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+ update tput manual page to reflect changes to manipulate terminal
modes by sharing functions with tset.
+ add the terminal-mode parts of "reset" (aka tset) to the "tput reset"
command, making the two almost the same except for window-size.
+ adapt logic used in dialog "--keep-tite" option for test/filter.c as
"-a" option. When set, test/filter attempts to suppress the
alternate screen.
+ correct a typo in interix entry -TD
+ improve CF_GNU_SOURCE configure macro to optionally define
_DEFAULT_SOURCE work around a nuisance in recent glibc releases.
+ move the terminfo-specific parts of tput's "reset" function into
the shared reset_cmd.c, making the two forms of reset use the same
strings.
+ split-out the terminal initialization functions from tset as
progs/reset_cmd.c, as part of changes to merge the reset-feature
with tput.
+ change tset's initialization to allow it to get settings from the
standard input as well as /dev/tty, to be more effective when
output or error are redirected.
+ improve discussion of history and portability for tset/reset/tput
manual pages.
+ improve error message from tset/reset when both stderr/stdout are
redirected to a file or pipe.
+ improve organization of curs_attr.3x, curs_color.3x
+ add workaround in configure script for inept transition to PIE vs
PIC builds documented in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Harden_All_Packages
+ add "reset" to list of programs whose names might change in manpages
due to program-transformation configure options.
+ drop long-obsolete "-n" option from tset.
+ 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).
+ avoid a blank line in output from tabs program by ending it with
a carriage return as done in FreeBSD (patch by James Clarke).
+ build-fix for the "--enable-ext-putwin" feature when not using
wide characters (report by Werner Fink).
+ modify autoconf macros to use scripting improvement from xterm.
+ add -brtl option to compiler options on AIX 5-7, needed to link
with the shared libraries.
+ add --with-extra-suffix option to help with installing nonconflicting
ncurses6 packages, e.g., avoiding header- and library-conflicts.
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.
+ 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)
+ modify configure-script/ifdef's to allow OLD_TTY feature to be
suppressed if the type of ospeed is configured using the option
--with-ospeed to not be a short. By default, it is a short for
termcap-compatibility (adapted from suggestion by Christian
Weisgerber).
+ correct a typo in _nc_baudrate() (patch by Christian Weisgerber,
cf: 20061230).
+ fix a few -Wlogical-op warnings.
+ updated llib-l* files.
+ fix a few compiler warnings in progs and test.
+ minor fix to package/debian-mingw/rules, do not strip dll's.
+ minor fixes to configure script for empty $prefix, e.g., when doing
cross-compiles to MinGW.
+ add script for building test-packages of binaries cross-compiled to
MinGW using NSIS.
+ build-fix for OS X, to handle changes for --with-cxx-shared feature
(report by Christian Ebert).
+ change initialization for vt220, similar entries for consistency
with cursor-key strings (NetBSD #47674) -TD
+ further improvements to linux-16color (Benjamin Sittler)
+ fix several warnings from clang 3.1 --analyze, includes correcting
a null-pointer check in _nc_mvcur_resume.
+ correct display of double-width characters with MinGW port (report
by Erwin Waterlander).
+ replace MinGW's wcrtomb(), fixing a problem with _nc_viscbuf
> fixes based on Coverity report:
+ correct coloring in test/bs.c
+ correct check for 8-bit value in _nc_insert_ch().
+ remove dead code in progs/tset.c, test/linedata.h
+ add null-pointer checks in lib_tracemse.c, panel.priv.h, and some
test-programs.
+ 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)
+ update config.guess, config.sub
+ 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).
+ various improvments for MinGW (patch by Juergen Pfeifer):
+ modify stat() calls to ignore the st_size member
+ drop mk-dlls.sh script.
+ change recommended regular expression library.
+ modify rain.c to allow for threaded configuraton.
+ modify tset.c to allow for case when size-change logic is not used.
+ 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.
+ compiler-warning fixes in panel and progs.
+ modify CF_PKG_CONFIG macro, from changes to tin -TD
+ modify CF_CURSES_FUNCS configure macro, used in test directory
configure script:
+ work around (non-optimizer) bug in gcc 4.2.1 which caused
test-expression to be omitted from executable.
+ force the linker to see a link-time expression of a symbol, to
help work around weak-symbol issues.
+ correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for begy/begx values
(patch by David Benjamin).
+ fix most compiler warnings from clang.
+ amend build-fix for OpenSolaris, to ensure that a system header is
included in curses.h before testing feature symbols, since they
may be defined by that route.
+ modify win_driver.c to initialize acs_map for win32 console, so
that line-drawing works.
+ modify win_driver.c to initialize TERMINAL struct so that programs
such as test/lrtest.c and test/ncurses.c which test string
capabilities can run.
+ modify term-driver modules to eliminate forward-reference
declarations.
+ correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
field_buffer(), which stopped at the end of the first row due to
filling of unused entries in a cchar_t array with nulls.
+ updated nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler, Emanuele Giaquinta)
+ modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to show wide-character
nulls.
+ use strdup() in set_menu_mark(), restore .marklen struct member on
failure.
+ eliminate clause 3 from the UCB copyrights in read_termcap.c and
tset.c per
ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change
(patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+ replace a malloc in tic.c with strdup, checking for failure (patch by
Nicholas Marriott).
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
+ modify scripts to generate ncurses*-config and pc-files to add
dependency for tinfo library (patch by Charles Wilson).
+ improve comparison of program-names when checking for linked flavors
such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix (reports by Charles
Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing
list).
+ suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on
Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static libc, and
does not switch back to dynamic mode before finishing the libraries
(reports by Joel Bertrand, Alan Pae).
+ minor fixes to Intel compiler warning checks in configure script.
+ modify _nc_leaks_tinfo() so leak-checking in test/railroad.c works.
+ modify set_curterm() to make broken-linker configuration work with
changes from 20090228 (report by Charles Wilson).
+ update html documentation.
+ add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
+ correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
+ document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
+ fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
+ add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
+ modify _nc_panelhook() data to account for a permanent memory leak.
+ fix memory leaks in test/demo_menus
+ fix most warnings from Klocwork tool (report by Larry Zhou).
+ modify configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to add case for
"dragonfly" from xterm #236 changes.
+ modify configure script --with-hashed-db to let $LIBS override the
search for the db library (prompted by report by Samson Pierre).
+ modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built
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).
+ update/improve mlterm and rxvt terminfo entries, e.g., for
the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
+ add new functions to lib_trace.c to setup mutex's for the _tracef()
calls within the ncurses library.
+ for the reentrant model, move _nc_tputs_trace and _nc_outchars into
the SCREEN.
+ start modifying test/worm.c to provide threading demo (incomplete).
+ separated ifdef's for some BSD-related symbols in tset.c, to make
it compile on LynxOS (report by Greg Gemmer).
+ change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line (cf: 970315).
+ add test/test_get_wstr.c
+ add test/test_getstr.c
+ add test/test_inwstr.c
+ add test/test_instr.c
