+ clarify discussion in curs_addch.3x of wrapping.
+ modify parametrized.h to make fln non-padded.
+ correct several entries which had termcap-style padding used in
terminfo: adm21, aj510, alto-h19, att605-pc, x820 -TD
+ 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
replaces 3 untested Unreferenced pragmas.
+ simplified To_C usage in trace handling. Using two parameters allows
some basic formatting, and avoids a warning about security with some
compiler flags.
+ for generated Ada sources, replace many snippets with one pure
package.
+ removed C_Chtype and its conversions.
+ removed C_AttrType and its conversions.
+ removed conversions between int, Item_Option_Set, Menu_Option_Set.
+ removed int, Field_Option_Set, Item_Option_Set conversions.
+ removed C_TraceType, Attribute_Option_Set conversions.
+ replaced C.int with direct use of Eti_Error, now enumerated. As it
was used in a case statement, values were tested by the Ada compiler
to be consecutive anyway.
+ src/Makefile.in: remove duplicate stanza
+ only consider using a project for shared libraries.
+ style. Silent gnat-4.9 warning about misplaced "then".
+ generate shared library project to honor ADAFLAGS, LDFLAGS.
+ add check in tic for mismatch between ccc and initp/initc
+ cancel ccc in putty-256color and konsole-256color for consistency
with the cancelled initc capability (patch by Sven Zuhlsdorf).
+ add xterm+256setaf building block for various terminals which only
get the 256-color feature half-implemented -TD
+ updated "st" entry (leaving the 0.1.1 version as "simpleterm") to
0.4.1 -TD
+ modify _nc_New_TopRow_and_CurrentItem() to ensure that the menu's
top-row is adjusted as needed to ensure that the current item is
on the screen (patch by Johann Klammer).
+ add wgetdelay() to retrieve _delay member of WINDOW if it happens to
be opaque, e.g., in the pthread configuration (prompted by patch by
Soren Brinkmann).
+ modify ifdef in read_entry.c to handle the case where
NCURSES_USE_DATABASE is not defined (patch by Xin Li).
+ add cast in form_driver_w() to fix ARM build (patch by Xin Li).
+ add logic to win_driver.c to save/restore screen contents when not
allocating a console-buffer (cf: 20140215).
+ fix typo in curs_attr.3x (patch by Sven Joachim, cf: 20130831).
+ build-fix for --with-shared option for DragonFly and FreeBSD (report
by Rong-En Fan, cf: 20130727).
+ modify test/ncurses.c b/B tests to display lines only for the
attributes which a given terminal supports, to make room for an
italics test.
+ completed ncv table in terminfo.tail; it did not list the wide
character codes listed in X/Open Curses issue 7.
+ add A_ITALIC extension (prompted by discussion with Egmont Koblinger).
+ minor fixes to the --disable-overwrite logic, to ensure that the
configured $(includedir) is not cancelled by the mingwxx-filesystem
rpm macros.
+ add --disable-db-install configure option, to simplify building
cross-compile support packages.
+ add mingw-ncurses.spec file, for testing cross-compiles.
+ modify the clear program to take into account the E3 extended
capability to clear the terminal's scrollback buffer (patch by
Miroslav Lichvar, Redhat #815790).
+ clarify in resizeterm manpage that LINES and COLS are updated.
+ updated ansi example in terminfo.tail, correct misordered example
of sgr.
+ fix other doclifter warnings for manpages
+ remove unnecessary ".ta" in terminfo.tail, add missing ".fi"
(patch by Eric Raymond).
+ minor changes to some configure macros to make them more reusable.
+ fixes for tabs program (prompted by report by Nick Andrik):
+ corrected logic in command-line parsing of -a and -c predefined
tab-lists options.
+ allow "-0" and "-8" options to be combined with others, e.g.,"-0d".
+ make warning messages more consistent with the other utilities by
not printing the full pathname of the program.
+ add -V option for consistency with other utilities.
+ fix off-by-one in columns for tabs program when processing an option
such as "-5" (patch by Nick Andrik).
+ improve parameter checking in copywin().
+ modify configure script to work around OS X's "libtool" program, to
choose glibtool instead. At the same time, chance the autoconf macro
to look for a "tool" rather than a "prog", to help with potential use
in cross-compiling.
+ separate the rpath usage for c++ library from demo program
(Redhat #911540)
+ update/correct header-dependencies in c++ makefile (report by Werner
Fink).
+ add --with-cxx-shared to dpkg-script, as done for rpm-script.
+ amend change to toe.c for reading from /dev/zero, to ensure that
there is a buffer for the temporary filename (cf: 20120324).
+ regenerated html manpages.
+ fix typo in terminfo.head (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20130302).
+ updated some autoconf macros:
+ CF_ACVERSION_CHECK, from byacc 1.9 20130304
+ CF_INTEL_COMPILER, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE from luit 2.0-20130217
+ add configure option --with-cxx-shared to permit building
libncurses++ as a shared library when using g++, e.g., the same
limitations as libtool but better integrated with the usual build
configuration (Redhat 911540).
+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to filter out build-path which was unnecessarily
shown in curses.h (Debian #689131).
+ add section to terminfo manpage discussing user-defined capabilities.
+ update manpage description of NCURSES_NO_SETBUF, explaining why it
is obsolete.
+ add a check in waddch_nosync() to ensure that tab characters are
treated as control characters; some broken locales claim they are
printable.
+ add some traces to the Windows console driver.
+ initialize a temporary array in _nc_mbtowc, needed for some cases
of raw input in MinGW port.
+ correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make
an incorrect move (cf: 20001028).
+ improve documentation of the terminfo/termcap search path.
+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
+ fix memory leak in safe_sprintf.c
+ add check for return-value in tty_update.c
+ correct initialization for -s option in test/view.c
+ add check for numeric overflow in lib_instr.c

demonstrate behavior with/without extended capabilities.
+ updated termcap manpage to document legacy termcap behavior for
matching capability names.
+ modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate legacy
applications as well as to improve compatbility with BSD 4.2
termcap implementations (Debian #698299) (cf: 980725).
+ correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts.
+ drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they
are unused in the current driver model.
+ modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses
library.
+ modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage.
+ amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level
putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering.
The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674).
+ realign these related pages:
curs_add_wchstr.3x
curs_addchstr.3x
curs_addstr.3x
curs_addwstr.3x
and fix a long-ago error in curs_addstr.3x which said that a -1
length parameter would only write as much as fit onto one line
(report by Reuben Thomas).
+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_memmove() for memmove()/bcopy().
+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_strdup() for strdup().
+ cancel any debug-rpm in package/ncurses.spec
+ reviewed vte-2012, reverted most of the change since it was incorrect
based on testing with tack -TD
+ un-cancel the initc in vte-256color, since this was implemented
starting with version 0.20 in 2009 -TD
+ update autoconf patch to 2.52.20120811, adding --datarootdir
(prompted by discussion with Erwin Waterlander).

+ eliminate two fixed-size buffers in toe.c
+ extend use_tioctl() to have expected behavior when use_env(FALSE) and
use_tioctl(TRUE) are called.
+ modify ncurses test-program, adding -E and -T options to demonstrate
use_env() versus use_tioctl().
+ add ncurses_mingw.h to installed headers (prompted by patch by
Juergen Pfeifer).
+ clarify return-codes from wgetch() in response to SIGWINCH (prompted
by Novell #769788).
+ modify resizeterm() to always push a KEY_RESIZE onto the fifo, even
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).
+ extend -c and -n options of infocmp to allow comparing more than two
entries.
+ correct check in infocmp for number of terminal names when more than
two are given.

+ dec+sl applies to vt320 and up -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.
+ 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).
+ minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation
regarding mapping of \0 to \200
+ minor improvement to _nc_copy_termtype(), using memcpy to replace
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.
> merge some patches from OpenSUSE rpm (Werner Fink):
+ ncurses-5.7-printw.dif, fixes for varargs handling in lib_printw.c
+ ncurses-5.7-gpm.dif, do not dlopen libgpm if already loaded by
runtime linker
+ ncurses-5.6-fallback.dif, do not free arrays and strings from static
fallback entries
+ modify toe's report when -a and -s options are combined, to add
a column showing which entries belong to a given database.
+ add -s option to toe, to sort its output.
+ 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*.
+ correct database iterator's check for duplicate entries
(cf: 20111001).
+ modify database iterator to ignore $TERMCAP when it is not an
absolute pathname.
+ add -D option to tic, to show the database locations that it could
use.
+ improve description of database locations in tic manpage.
+ modify the configure script to generate a list of the ".pc" files to
generate, rather than deriving the list from the libraries which have
been built (patch by Mike Frysinger).
+ use AC_CHECK_TOOLS in preference to AC_PATH_PROGS when searching for
ncurses*-config, e.g., in Ada95/configure and test/configure (adapted
from patch by Mike Frysinger).
+ improve description of --disable-tic-depends option to make it
clear that it may be useful whether or not the --with-termlib
option is also given (report by Sven Joachim).
+ amend termcap equivalent for set_pglen_inch to use the X/Open
"YI" rather than the obsolete Solaris 2.5 "sL" (cf: 990109).
+ improve manpage for tgetent differences from termcap library.
+ modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force
source-output. That allows the same flag to control the parser for
input and output of termcap source.
+ modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line,
making it consistent with ncurses' parser.
+ restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap
text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924).
+ modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the
conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is
normally following in the source file. Also improved the warning
message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem.
+ improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list.
+ propagate error-returns from wresize, i.e., the internal
increase_size and decrease_size functions through resize_term (report
by Tim van der Molen, cf: 20020713).
+ fix typo in tset manpage (patch by Sven Joachim).
+ improve rpath fix from 20110730 by ensuring that the new $RPATH_LIST
variable is defined in the makefiles which use it.
+ build-fix for DragonFlyBSD's pkgsrc in test/configure script.
+ build-fixes for NetBSD 5.1 with termcap support enabled.
+ corrected k9 in dg460-ansi, add other features based on manuals -TD
+ improve trimming of whitespace at the end of terminfo/termcap output
from tic/infocmp.
+ when writing termcap source, ensure that colons in the description
field are translated to a non-delimiter, i.e., "=".
+ add "-0" option to tic/infocmp, to make the termcap/terminfo source
use a single line.
+ add a null-pointer check when handling the $CC variable.
+ modify configure script and makefiles in c++ and progs to allow the
directory used for rpath option to be overridden, e.g., to work
around updates to the variables used by tic during an install.
+ add -K option to tic/infocmp, to provide stricter BSD-compatibility
for termcap output.
+ add _nc_strict_bsd variable in tic library which controls the
"strict" BSD termcap compatibility from 20110723, plus these
features:
+ allow escapes such as "\8" and "\9" when reading termcap
+ disallow "\a", "\e", "\l", "\s" and "\:" escapes when reading
termcap files, passing through "a", "e", etc.
+ expand "\:" as "\072" on output.
+ modify _nc_get_token() to reset the token's string value in case
there is a string-typed token lacking the "=" marker.
+ fix a few memory leaks in _nc_tgetent.
+ fix a few places where reading from a termcap file could refer to
freed memory.
+ add an overflow check when converting terminfo/termcap numeric
values, since terminfo stores those in a short, and they must be
positive.
+ correct internal variables used for translating to termcap "%>"
feature, and translating from termcap %B to terminfo, needed by
tctest (cf: 19991211).
+ amend a minor fix to acsc when loading a termcap file to separate it
from warnings needed for tic (cf: 20040710)
+ modify logic in _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_tic_entry() to allow
a termcap file to be handled via TERMINFO_DIRS.
+ modify _nc_infotocap() to include non-mandatory padding when
translating to termcap.
+ modify _nc_read_termcap_entry(), passing a flag in the case where
getcap is used, to reduce interactive warning messages.
+ add case to CF_SHARED_OPTS for Interix (patch by Markus Duft).
+ used ncurses/link_test to check for behavior when the terminal has
not been initialized and when an application passes null pointers
to the library. Added checks to cover this (prompted by Redhat
#707344).
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to make its main() function call each function
with zero parameters, to help find inconsistent checking for null
pointers, etc.
+ add special check in Ada95/configure script for ncurses6 reentrant
code.
+ regen Ada html documentation.
+ build-fix for Ada shared libraries versus the varargs workaround.
+ add rpm and dpkg scripts for Ada95 and test directories, for test
builds.
+ update test/configure macros CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and
CF_X_ATHENA_LIBS.
+ add configure check to determine if gnat's project feature supports
libraries, i.e., collections of .ali files.
+ make all dereferences in Ada95 samples explicit.
+ fix typo in comment in lib_add_wch.c (patch by Petr Pavlu).
+ add configure check for, ifdef's for math.h which is in a separate
package on Solaris and potentially not installed (report by Petr
Pavlu).
> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
+ improve type-checking in Ada95 by eliminating a few warning-suppress
pragmas.
+ suppress unreferenced warnings.
+ make all dereferences in binding explicit.
+ add xterm-utf8 entry as a demo of the U8 feature -TD
+ add U8 feature to denote entries for terminal emulators which do not
support VT100 SI/SO when processing UTF-8 encoding -TD
+ improve the NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS feature by adding a check for an
extended terminfo capability U8 (prompted by mailing list
discussion).
+ start documenting interface changes for upcoming 5.8 release.
+ correct limit-checks in derwin().
+ correct limit-checks in newwin(), to ensure that windows have nonzero
size (report by Garrett Cooper).
+ fix a missing "weak" declaration for pthread_kill (patch by Nicholas
Alcock).
+ improve documentation of KEY_ENTER in curs_getch.3x manpage (prompted
by discussion with Kevin Martin).
+ modify Ada95/configure script to make the --with-curses-dir option
work without requiring the --with-ncurses option.
+ modify test programs to allow them to be built with NetBSD curses.
+ document thick- and double-line symbols in curs_add_wch.3x manpage.
+ document WACS_xxx constants in curs_add_wch.3x manpage.
+ fix some warnings for clang 2.6 "--analyze"
+ modify Ada95 makefiles to make html-documentation with the project
file configuration if that is used.
+ update config.guess, config.sub
+ regenerated html manpages.
+ minor fixes to enable lint when trace is not enabled, e.g., with
clang --analyze.
+ fix typo in man/default_colors.3x (patch by Tim van der Molen).

allowing TPARM_ARG to be overridden.
+ fix some strict compiler warnings in ncurses library.
+ add special case to _nc_infotocap() to recognize the setaf/setab

+ fix typo in rmso for tek4106 entry -Goran Weinholt
+ correct parsing of relative tab-stops in tabs program (report by
Philip Ganchev).
+ adjust configure script so that "t" is not added to library suffix
when weak-symbols are used, allowing the pthread configuration to
more closely match the non-thread naming (report by Werner Fink).
+ modify configure check for tic program, used for fallbacks, to a
warning if not found. This makes it simpler to use additonal
scripts to bootstrap the fallbacks code using tic from the build
tree (report by Werner Fink).
+ fix several places in configure script using ${variable-value} form.
+ modify configure macro CF_LDFLAGS_STATIC to accommodate some loaders
which do not support selectively linking against static libraries
(report by John P. Hartmann)
+ fix an unescaped dash in man/tset.1 (report by Sven Joachim).
