+ modify version-check with Ada generics to use the same pattern as in
the check for supported gnat versions (report by Pascal Pignard).
> additional changes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2
(patches by "Maarten Anonymous"):
+ adjust headers/declarations to provide for "dllimport" vs "dllexport"
declarations when constructing DLLs, to worko with Visual Studio C++.
+ update release notes
+ minor build-fixes, mostly to test-package scripts
+ modify check for sizeof(wchar_t) to ensure it gives useful result
when cross-compiling.
+ drop assumption in configure script that Cygwin's linker is broken.
+ define NCURSES_BROKEN_LINKER if the broken-linker feature is used,
to simplify configure-checks for ncurses-examples.
+ reassert copyright on ncurses, per discussion in ncurses FAQ:
https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html#relicensed
+ modify comparison in make_hash.c to correct a special case in
collision handling for Caps-hpux11
+ add testing utility report_hashing to check hash-tables used for
terminfo and termcap names.
+ fix a missing prototype for _nc_free_and_exit().
+ update a few comments about tack 1.07
+ use an awk script to split too-long pathnames used in Ada95 sample
programs for explain.txt
+ add configure check to distinguish clang from gcc to eliminate
warnings about unused command-line parameters when compiler warnings
are enabled.
+ improve behavior when updating terminfo entries which are hardlinked
by allowing for the possibility that an alias has been repurposed to
a new primary name.
+ fix some strict compiler warnings based on package scripts.
+ further fixes for configure check for working poll (Debian #676461).
+ fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits.
+ use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303).
+ improve a limit-check in infocmp.c (Werner Fink):
+ 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.
+ for term-driver configuration, ensure that the driver pointer is
initialized in setupterm so that terminfo/termcap programs work.
+ amend fix for Debian #542031 to ensure that wattrset() returns only
OK or ERR, rather than the attribute value (report by Miroslav
Lichvar).
+ reorder WINDOWLIST to put WINDOW data after SCREEN pointer, making
_nc_screen_of() compatible between normal/wide libraries again (patch
by Miroslav Lichvar)
+ review/fix include-dependencies in modules files (report by Miroslav
Lichvar).
+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+ modify declaration of cur_term when broken-linker is used, but
enable-reentrant is not, to match pre-5.7 (report by Charles Wilson).
