symbols beginning with "_" as local, at the last version node.
+ improve configure checks for pkg-config, addressing a variant found
with FreeBSD ports.
+ modify win_driver.c to provide characters for special keys, like
ansi.sys, when keypad mode is off, rather than returning nothing at
all (discussion with Eli Zaretskii).
+ add "broken_linker" and "hashed-db" configure options to combinations
use for generating the ".map" and ".sym" files.

(report by Pavel Balaev).
+ updated Ada95/configure with macro changes from 20141213

focus.
+ improve the non-buffered mode, i.e., NCURSES_CONSOLE2, of

window-size to eliminate the scrollback. Also enforce a minimum
screen-size of 24x80 in the non-buffered mode.
+ modify generated misc/Makefile to suppress install.data from the
dependencies if the --disable-db-install option is used, compensating
for the top-level makefile changes used to add ncurses*-config in the

ensure that ${srcdir} is added to the include-options (prompted by

_XOPEN_SOURCE can/should be defined. g++ 4.7.2 built on Solaris 10
has some header breakage due to its own predefinition of this symbol
(report by Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15796).
+ 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).

of sgr.
+ fix other doclifter warnings for manpages

configuration (Redhat 911540).

shown in curses.h (Debian #689131).

#866989).
+ add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.

first corrects pattern used for Mac OS X's customization of gcc.
+ improve CF_GCC_VERSION to work around Debian's customization of gcc
--version message.
+ improve configure macros as done in byacc:
+ drop 2.13 compatibility; use 2.52.xxxx version only since EMX port
has used that for a while.
+ add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE's to allow autoheader to run, i.e.,
for experimental use.
+ remove unused configure macros.
+ modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
for LIBS_TO_MAKE variable.
+ modify configure script to show $PATH_SEPARATOR variable.

+ 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 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).

+ 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
+ fix compiler warning for clang 2.9

use a single line.
+ add a null-pointer check when handling the $CC variable.
+ replace an assert() in _nc_Free_Argument() with a regular null
pointer check (report/analysis by Franjo Ivancic).

a read operation in wgetch() (Novell #540571, patch by Werner Fink).
+ drop mkdirs.sh, use "mkdir -p".
+ add configure option --disable-libtool-version, to use the
"-version-number" feature which was added in libtool 1.5 (report by
Peter Haering). The default value for the option uses the newer
feature, which makes libraries generated using libtool compatible
with the standard builds of ncurses.
+ updated test/configure to match configure script macros.

+ improve CF_FIND_LINKAGE logic for the case where a function is
found in predefined libraries.
+ revert part of change to CF_HEADER (cf: 20100424)
+ correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for begy/begx values
(patch by David Benjamin).
+ fix most compiler warnings from clang.

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).

_nc_screen_of() compatible between normal/wide libraries again (patch
by Miroslav Lichvar)

filling of unused entries in a cchar_t array with nulls.

nulls.

Nicholas Marriott).
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
