configure script, cf: 20150606 (report by Nicolas Boulenguez)
+ fixes for configure/build using clang on OSX (prompted by report by

of symbols to pretend it is gcc.
+ add braces to configure script to prevent unwanted add of
"-lstdc++" to the CXXLIBS symbol.
+ improve/update test-program used for checking existence of stdc++
library.
+ if $CXXLIBS is set, the linkage test uses that in addition to $LIBS

+ improve documentation for signal handlers by adding section in the
curs_initscr.3x page.
+ modify logic in make_keys.c to not assume anything about the size
of strnames and strfnames variables, since those may be functions
in the thread- or broken-linker configurations (problem found by
Coverity).

e.g., ncursestw library.
+ modify scripts to build/use test-packages for the pthreads
configuration of ncurses6.
+ add references to ttytype and termcap symbols in demo_terminfo.c and
demo_termcap.c to ensure that when building ncursest.map, etc., that
the corresponding names such as _nc_ttytype are added to the list of
versioned symbols (report by Werner Fink)
+ fix regression from 20150704 (report/patch by Werner Fink).
+ fix a few problems reported by Coverity.

+ add test_setupterm.c to demonstrate normal/error returns from the
setupterm and restartterm functions.
+ amend cleanup change from 20110813 which removed redundant definition
of ret_error, etc., from tinfo_driver.c, to account for the fact that
it should return a bool rather than int (report/analysis by Johannes
Schindelin).
+ fix overflow warning for OSX with lib_baudrate.c (cf: 20010630).
+ modify script used to generate map/sym files to mark 5.9.20150530 as
the last "5.9" version, and regenerated the files. That makes the
files not use ".current" for the post-5.9 symbols. This also
corrects the label for _nc_sigprocmask used in when weak symbols are
configured for the ncursest/ncursestw libraries (prompted by
discussion with Sven Joachim).
+ fix typo in NEWS (report by Sven Joachim).
"--with-abi-version=5" option.

#783806)
+ add sample "magic" file, to document ext-putwin.
+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to add explicit -ltinfo, etc., to the
generated ".pc" file when ld option "--as-needed" is used, or when

than ncursesw, with updated configure scripts.
+ modify CF_NCURSES_CONFIG in Ada95- and test-configure scripts to
check for ".pc" files via pkg-config, but add a linkage check since
frequently pkg-config configurations are broken.
+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to include EXTRA_LDFLAGS, e.g., for the
rpath option.
+ add 'dim' capability to screen entry (report by Leonardo B Schenkel)

the extended putwin/getwin.
+ add logic for writing/reading combining characters in the extended
putwin/getwin.
+ add "--enable-ext-putwin" configure option to turn on the extended
putwin/getwin.
+ 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)
+ document limitations of getwin in manual page (prompted by discussion
with John S Urban).
+ extend test/savescreen.c to demonstrate that color pair values
and graphic characters can be restored using getwin.

usable in an application which may/may not need the console window
(report by Grady Martin).
+ capture define's related to -D_XOPEN_SOURCE from the configure check

ncurses/Makefile.in (cf: 20130706).
+ improve description in INSTALL of the --with-versioned-syms option.

cross-compiles. Also drop "-Bsharable" option from shared-library
rules for FreeBSD and DragonFly (FreeBSD #196592).
+ fix a memory leak in form library Free_RegularExpression_Type()
(report by Pavel Balaev).
+ modify_nc_flush() to retry if interrupted (patch by Stian Skjelstad).

via the Ada95 binding when checking for memory leaks.
+ improve sed script used in 20141220 to account for wide-, threaded-
variations in ABI 6.
+ regenerate ".map" files, using step overlooked in 20141213 to use
the same patch-dates across each file to match ncurses.map (report by
Sven Joachim).
+ updated Ada95/configure with macro changes from 20141213
+ tie configure options --with-abi-version and --with-versioned-syms
together, so that ABI 6 libraries have distinct symbol versions from
the ABI 5 libraries.
+ replace obsolete/nonworking link to man2html with current one,
regenerate html-manpages.
+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to add -I option for include-directory
when using both --prefix and --disable-overwrite (report by Misty
De Meo).
+ add configure option --with-pc-suffix to allow minor renaming of
".pc" files and the corresponding library. Use this in the test
package for ncurses6.
+ modify configure script so that if pkg-config is not installed, it
is still possible to install ".pc" files (report by Misty De Meo).
+ updated ".sym" files, removing symbols which are marked as "local"
in the corresponding ".map" files.
+ updated ".map" files to reflect move of comp_captab and comp_hash
from tic-library to tinfo-library in 20090711 (report by Sven
Joachim).
+ updated ".map" files so that each symbol that may be shared across
the different library configurations has the same label. Some
review is needed to ensure these are really compatible.
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to work around change in development version of
gcc introduced here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-06/msg02185.htmlhttps://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-07/msg00236.html
(reports by Marcus Shawcroft, Maohui Lei).
+ improved configure macro CF_SUBDIR_PATH, from lynx changes.
+ improved ".map" files by generating them with a script that builds
ncurses with several related configurations and merges the results.
A further refinement is planned, to make the tic- and tinfo-library
symbols use the same versions across each of the four configurations
which are represented (reports by Sven Joachim, Werner Fink).
+ improve description of limits for color values and color pairs in
curs_color.3x (prompted by patch by Tim van der Molen).

symbol-versioning.
+ reviewed terminology 0.6.1, add function key definitions. None of
the vt100-compatibility issues were improved -TD
+ improve infocmp conversion of extended capabilities to termcap by
correcting the limit check against parametrized[], as well as filling
in a check if the string happens to have parameters, e.g., "xm"

+ minor formatting fixes to _nc_trace_mmask_t, make this function
exported to help with debugging mouse changes.
+ improve behavior of wheel-mice for xterm protocol, noting that there
are only button-presses for buttons "4" and "5", so there is no need
to wait to combine events into double-clicks (report/analysis by
Greg Field).
+ provide examples xterm-1005 and xterm-1006 terminfo entries -TD
+ implement decoder for xterm SGR 1006 mouse mode.
+ implement curs_set in win_driver.c
+ implement flash in win_driver.c
+ fix an infinite loop in win_driver.c if the command-window loses
focus.
+ improve the non-buffered mode, i.e., NCURSES_CONSOLE2, of
win_driver.c by temporarily changing the buffer-size to match the
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
20140920 changes (report by Steven Honeyman).
+ add ncurses*-config to bin-directory of sample package-scripts.
+ add check to ensure that getopt is available; this is a problem in
some older cross-compiler environments.
+ expanded on the description of --disable-overwrite in INSTALL
(prompted by reports by Joakim Tjernlund, Thomas Klausner).
See Gentoo #522586 and NetBSD #49200 for examples.
which relates to the clarified guidelines.

reinterpret_cast to facilitate converting typed pointers to void*
in user's application (patch by Adam Jiang).

+ add note regarding cause and effect for TERM in ncurses manpage,
having noted clueless verbiage in Terminal.app's "help" file
which reverses cause/effect.

ensure that ${srcdir} is added to the include-options (prompted by
discussion with Paul Gilmartin).

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.

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.
+ cleanup recently introduced compiler warnings for MingW port.
+ workaround for ${MAKEFLAGS} configure check versus GNU make 4.0,
which introduces more than one gratuitous incompatibility.
+ add vt520ansi terminfo entry (patch by Mike Gran)
+ further improve MinGW support for the scenario where there is an
ANSI-escapes handler such as ansicon running in the console window
(patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ add --disable-lib-suffixes option (adapted from patch by Juergen
Pfeifer).
+ merge some changes from Juergen Pfeifer's work with MSYS2, to
simplify later merging:
+ use NC_ISATTY() macro for isatty() in library
+ add _nc_mingw_isatty() and related functions to windows-driver
+ rename terminal driver entrypoints to simplify grep's
+ remove a check in the sp-funcs flavor of newterm() which allowed only
the first call to newterm() to succeed (report by Thomas Beierlein,
cf: 20090927).
+ modify configure script:
+ drop the -no-gcc option from Intel compiler, from lynx changes.
+ extend the --with-hashed-db configure option to simplify building
with different versions of Berkeley database using FreeBSD ports.
+ improve initialization for MinGW port (patch by Juergen Pfeifer):
+ enforce Windows-style path-separator if cross-compiling,
+ add a driver-name method to each of the drivers,
+ allow the Windows driver name to match "unknown", ignoring case,
+ lengthen the built-in name for the Windows console driver to
"#win32console", and
+ move the comparison of driver-names allowing abbreviation, e.g.,
to "#win32con" into the Windows console driver.
+ 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
+ use types from <stdint.h> in sample build-scripts for chtype, etc.
+ modify configure script and curses.h.in to allow the types specified
using --with-chtype and related options to be defined in <stdint.h>
+ add terminology entry -TD
+ add mlterm3 entry, use that as "mlterm" -TD
+ inherit mlterm-256color from mlterm -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 some compiler warnings in win_driver.c
+ updated notes for wsvt25 based on tack and vttest -TD
+ add teken entry to show actual properties of FreeBSD's "xterm"
console -TD
+ in-progress changes to win_driver.c to implement output without
allocating a console-buffer. This uses a pre-existing environment
variable NCGDB used by Juergen Pfeifer for debugging (prompted by
discussion with Erwin Waterlander regarding Console2, which hangs
when reading in an allocated console-buffer).
+ add -t option to gdc.c, and modify to accept "S" to step through the
scrolling-stages.
+ regenerate NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the broken
html emitted by docbook.
+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to omit followup check to determine if
_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).
+ add/use symbol NCURSES_PAIRS_T like NCURSES_COLOR_T, to illustrate
which "short" types are for color pairs and which are color values.
+ fix build for s390x, by correcting field bit offsets in generated
representation clauses when int=32 long=64 and endian=big, or at
least on s390x (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ minor cleanup change to test/form_driver_w.c (patch by Gaute Hope).
+ remove unnecessary ifdef's in Ada95/gen/gen.c, which reportedly do
not work as is with gcc 4.8 due to fixes using chtype cast made for
new compiler warnings by gcc 4.8 in 20130824 (Debian #735753, patch
by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ 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.
+ add special case to configure script to move _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
definition from CPPFLAGS to CFLAGS if it happens to be needed for
Solaris, because g++ errors with that definition (report by
Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15268).
+ correct logic in infocmp's -i option which was intended to ignore
strings which correspond to function-keys as candidates for piecing
together initialization- or reset-strings. The problem dates to
1.9.7a, but was overlooked until changes in -Wlogical-op warnings for
gcc 4.8 (report by David Binderman).
+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, adding
checks for -Wextra, -Wignored-qualifiers and -Wlogical-op
+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, moving
checks for -Wextra and -Wdeclaration-after-statement into the macro,
and adding checks for -Wignored-qualifiers, -Wlogical-op and
-Wvarargs
+ updated CF_CURSES_UNCTRL_H and CF_SHARED_OPTS macros from ongoing
work on cdk.
+ update config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+ use TS extension to describe xterm's title-escapes -TD
+ modify terminator and nsterm-s to use xterm+sl-twm building block -TD
+ update hurd.ti, add xenl to reflect 2011-03-06 change in
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/hurd.git/log/console/display.c
(Debian #727119).
+ simplify pfkey expression in ansi.sys -TD
+ correct/simplify ifdef's for cur_term versus broken-linker and
reentrant options (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, cf: 20090530).
+ modify release/version combinations in test build-scripts to make
them more consistent with other packages.
+ add nc_mingw.h to installed headers for MinGW port; needed for
compiling ncurses-examples.
+ add rpm-script for testing cross-compile of ncurses-examples.
+ 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.
+ some build-fixes for ncurses-examples with NetBSD-6.0 curses, though
it lacks some common functions such as use_env() which is not yet
addressed.
+ build-fix and some compiler warning fixes for ncurses-examples with
OpenBSD 5.3
+ fix a possible null-pointer reference in a trace message from newterm.
+ quiet a few warnings from NetBSD 6.0 namespace pollution by
nonstandard popcount() function in standard strings.h header.
+ ignore g++ 4.2.1 warnings for "-Weffc++" in c++/cursesmain.cc
+ fix a few overlooked places for --enable-string-hacks option.
+ 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).
+ build-fixes for MSYS for two test-programs (patches by Ray Donnelly,
Alexey Pavlov).
+ revert change to two of the dpkg format files, to work with dpkg
before/after Debian #700177.
+ fix gcc -Wconversion warning in wattr_get() macro.
+ add msys and msysdll to known host/configuration types (patch by
Alexey Pavlov).
+ modify CF_RPATH_HACK configure macro to not rely upon "-u" option
of sort, improving portability.
+ minor improvements for test-programs from reviewing Solaris port.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+ 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).
+ fix some gcc 4.8 -Wconversion warnings.
+ change format of dpkg test-scripts to quilted to work around bug
introduced by Debian #700177.
+ discard cached keyname() values if meta() is changed after a value
was cached using (report by Kurban Mallachiev).
+ add checks in tic to warn about terminals which lack cursor
addressing, capabilities or having those, are marked as hard_copy or
generic_type.
+ use --without-progs in mingw-ncurses rpm.
+ split out _nc_init_termtype() from alloc_entry.c to use in MinGW
port when tic and other programs are not needed.
+ 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.
