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).

"-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

writing terminfo entries.
+ ensure that filename is always filled in when attempting to read
a terminfo entry, so that infocmp can report the filename (patch
by Nicholas Marriott).
+ improve test/ncurses.c color-cycling test by reusing attribute-
and color-cycling logic from the video-attributes screen.

(patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ add configure option --enable-interop, for integrating changes
for generic/interop support to form-library by Juergen Pfeifer
+ quiet some pedantic gcc warnings.
+ modify _nc_wgetch() to check for a -1 in the fifo, e.g., after a
SIGWINCH, and discard that value, to avoid confusing application
(patch by Eygene Ryabinkin, FreeBSD bin/136223).
+ supply a null-terminator to buffer in _nc_viswibuf().

+ improve use of -no-undefined option for libtool by setting an
intermediate variable LT_UNDEF in the configure script, and then
using that in the libtool link-commands.
+ fix an missing use of NCURSES_PUBLIC_VAR() in tinfo/MKcodes.awk
from 2009031 changes.
+ improve mk-1st.awk script by writing separate cases for the

termlib) is to be linked.
+ modify configure.in to allow broken-linker configurations, not just
enable-reentrant, to set public wrap prefix.

option.
+ change makefiles to use $ARFLAGS rather than $AR_OPTS, provide a
configure check to detect whether a "-" is needed before "ar"
options.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
+ move del_curterm() call from _nc_freeall() to _nc_leaks_tinfo() to
work for progs/clear, progs/tabs, etc.
+ correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character
set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran).
+ add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather
than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that
ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue
was xterm's alternate screen feature).
+ add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a
zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717,
adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault).

make those work properly with the "--enable-ext-mouse" configuration
(cf: 20050205).
+ improve documentation of build-cc options in INSTALL.
+ work-around a bug in gcc 4.2.4 on AIX, which does not pass the

is the install-prefix of a given Berkeley Database (prompted by
pierre4d2 comments).
+ rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb(), making it work on Solaris. This is
used in the form library to determine the length of the buffer needed
by field_buffer (report by Alfred Fung).
+ remove unneeded window-parameter from C++ binding for wresize (report
by Chris Lee).
+ 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.

+ build-fixes for Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 (patch by Peter O'Gorman).
+ add a configure check for gcc's options for inlining, use that to
quiet a warning message where gcc's default behavior changed from
3.x to 4.x.
+ improve warning message when checking if GPM is linked to curses
library by not warning if its use of "wgetch" is via a weak symbol.
+ add loader options when building with static libraries to ensure that
an installed shared library for ncurses does not conflict. This is
reported as problem with Tru64, but could affect other platforms
(report Martin Mokrejs, analysis by Tim Mooney).
+ fix build on cygwin after recent ticlib/termlib changes, i.e.,
+ adjust TINFO_SUFFIX value to work with cygwin's dll naming

SHLIB_LIST in form/menu/panel/c++ libraries.
+ fix initialization of ripoff stack pointer (cf: 20070421).
+ modify Ada95 binding to build with --enable-reentrant by wrapping

+ improved install-sh's quoting.
+ use mkdirs.sh rather than mkinstalldirs, e.g., to use fixes from
other programs.
NCURSES_OPAQUE set, since we cannot pass a reference to
+ ignore --with-chtype=unsigned since unsigned is always added to
the type in curses.h; do the same for --with-mmask-t.
+ change warning regarding --enable-ext-colors and wide-character
in the configure script to an error.
+ tweak error message in CF_WITH_LIBTOOL to distinguish other programs
such as Darwin's libtool program (report by Michail Vidiassov)
+ modify edit_man.sh to allow for multiple substitutions per line.
+ set locale in misc/ncurses-config.in since it uses a range
+ change permissions libncurses++.a install (report by Michail
Vidiassov).
+ corrected length of temporary buffer in wide-character version
of set_field_buffer() (related to report by Bryan Christ).
+ regenerated html documentation.
+ add NCURSES_OPAQUE symbol to curses.h, will use to make structs
opaque in selected configurations.
+ move the chunk in lib_acs.c which resets acs capabilities when
running on a terminal whose locale interferes with those into
_nc_setupscreen(), so the libtinfo/libtinfow files can be made
identical (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ do not use configure variable SHLIB_LIBS for building libraries
outside the ncurses directory, since that symbol is customized
only for that directory, and using it introduces an unneeded
dependency on libdl (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or
installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in
case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh (report by Jeff
Chua).
+ revised section "Using NCURSES under XTERM" in ncurses-intro.html
(prompted by newsgroup comment by Nick Guenther).
+ change internal return codes of _nc_wgetch() to check for cases
where KEY_CODE_YES should be returned, e.g., if a KEY_RESIZE was
ungetch'd, and read by wget_wch().
+ fix static-library build broken in 20070217 changes to remove "-ldl"
(report by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ change makefile/scripts for cygwin to allow building termlib.

+ use Menu_Hook in manpages, as well as a few places in menu.h
+ correct form- and menu-manpages to use specific Field_Options,
Menu_Options and Item_Options types.
+ correct prototype for _tracechar() in manpage (cf: 20011229).
+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
+ modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
Ricardo Cantu).
+ improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
+ ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
+ add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
+ drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
no longer relies on it.
+ disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
--enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
+ remove tack from ncurses tree.
+ modify configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
(report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
+ modify some modules to allow them to be reentrant if _REENTRANT is
defined: lib_baudrate.c, resizeterm.c (local data only)
+ eliminate static data from some modules: add_tries.c, hardscroll.c,
lib_ttyflags.c, lib_twait.c
+ improve manpage install to add aliases for the transformed program
names, e.g., from --program-prefix.
+ used linklint to verify links in the HTML documentation, made fixes
to manpages as needed.
+ fix a typo in curs_mouse.3x (report by William McBrine).
+ fix install-rule for ncurses5-config to make the bin-directory.
+ modify configure script to omit the tic (terminfo compiler) support
from ncurses library if --without-progs option is given.
+ modify install rule for ncurses5-config to do this via "install.libs"
+ modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath.
+ update config.guess, config.sub
