+ 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).

get the 256-color feature half-implemented -TD
+ updated "st" entry (leaving the 0.1.1 version as "simpleterm") to
0.4.1 -TD
+ 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

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+ 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.
+ add to test/demo_forms.c examples of using the menu-hooks as well
as showing how the menu item user-data can be used to pass a callback
function pointer.
+ add test/dots_termcap.c
+ remove setupterm call from test/demo_termcap.c
+ build-fix if --disable-ext-funcs configure option is used.
+ modified test/edit_field.c and test/demo_forms.c to move the lengths
into a user-data structure, keeping the original string for later
expansion to free-format input/out demo.
+ modified test/demo_forms.c to load data from file.
+ added note to clarify Terminal.app's non-emulation of the various
terminal types listed in the preferences dialog -TD
+ fix regression in error-reporting in lib_setup.c (Debian #711134,
cf: 20121117).

line split after "%;".
+ amend scripting for --with-cxx-shared option to handle the debug
library "libncurses++_g.a" (report by Sven Joachim).
+ 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).
+ fix several warnings from clang 3.1 --analyze, includes correcting
a null-pointer check in _nc_mvcur_resume.

+ correct logic in test/bs.c, when randomly placing a specific type of
ship.
+ check return value from remove/unlink in tic.
+ check return value from sscanf in test/ncurses.c
+ fix a null dereference in c++/cursesw.cc
+ fix two instances of uninitialized variables when configuring for the
terminal driver.
+ correct scope of variable used in SetSafeOutcWrapper macro.
+ set umask when calling mkstemp in tic.
+ initialize wbkgrndset() temporary variable when extended-colors are
used.
+ improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
#866989).
+ add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.
+ updated configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_WITH_PATHLIST. The

duplicate free of entries given via the command-line, and freeing
entries loaded from the last-but-one of files specified on the
command-line.
+ add kdch1 to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (reported by David Lord,
analysis by Martin Husemann).
+ add cnorm/civis to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (report/analysis by
Onno van der Linden).

+ 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.
+ improve cleanup of temporary files in tic using atexit().
+ add msgr to vt420, similar DEC vtXXX entries -TD
+ add several missing vt420 capabilities from vt220 -TD
+ factor out ansi+pp from several entries -TD
+ change xterm+sl and xterm+sl-twm to include only the status-line
capabilities and not "use=xterm", making them more generally useful
as building-blocks -TD
+ add dec+sl building block, as example -TD
+ add XT to some terminfo entries to improve usefulness for other
applications than screen, which would like to pretend that xterm's
title is a status-line. -TD
+ change use-clauses in ansi-mtabs, hp2626, and hp2622 based on review
of ordering and overrides -TD
+ add consistency check in tic for screen's "XT" capability.
+ add section in terminfo.src summarizing the user-defined capabilities
used in that file -TD
+ 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).
+ 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
+ modify toe's report when -a and -s options are combined, to add
a column showing which entries belong to a given database.

+ 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).
+ 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).
+ 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.
+ 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.
+ compiler-warning fixes in panel and progs.
+ modify CF_PKG_CONFIG macro, from changes to tin -TD
+ modify CF_CURSES_FUNCS configure macro, used in test directory
configure script:
+ work around (non-optimizer) bug in gcc 4.2.1 which caused
test-expression to be omitted from executable.
+ force the linker to see a link-time expression of a symbol, to
help work around weak-symbol issues.
+ improve linkages in html manpages, adding references to the newer
pages, e.g., *_variables, curs_sp_funcs, curs_threads.
+ add checks in tic for inconsistent cursor-movement controls, and for
inconsistent printer-controls.
+ fill in no-parameter forms of cursor-movement where a parameterized
form is available -TD
+ fill in missing cursor controls where the form of the controls is
ANSI -TD
+ fix inconsistent punctuation in form_variables manpage (patch by
Sven Joachim).
+ add parameterized cursor-controls to linux-basic (report by Dae) -TD

+ document how to build 32-bit libraries in README.MinGW
+ fixes to filename computation in mk-dlls.sh.in
+ use POSIX locale in mk-dlls.sh.in rather than en_US (report by Sven
Joachim).
+ add a check in mk-dlls.sh.in to obtain the size of a pointer to
distinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit hosts. The result is stored
in mingw_arch
+ add manpages for summarizing public variables of curses-, terminfo-
and form-libraries.
+ minor fixes to manpages for consistency (patch by Jason McIntyre).
+ modify tic's -I/-C dump to reformat acsc strings into canonical form
(sorted, unique mapping) (cf: 971004).
+ add configure check for pthread_kill(), needed for some old
platforms.
+ add a check in tic for missing set_tab if clear_all_tabs given.
+ improve use of symbolic links in makefiles by using "-f" option if
it is supported, to eliminate temporary removal of the target
(prompted by http://www.t2-project.org/packages/ncurses.html)
+ minor improvement to test/ncurses.c, reset color pairs in 'd' test
after exit from 'm' main-menu command.
+ improved ncu-indent, from mawk changes, allows more than one of
GCC_NORETURN, GCC_PRINTFLIKE and GCC_SCANFLIKE on a single line.
+ add hard-reset for rs2 to wsvt25 to help ensure that reset ends
+ 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.
+ minor improvement to tic's checking of similar SGR's to allow for the
most common case of SGR 0.
+ modify getmouse() to act as its documentation implied, returning on
each call the preceding event until none are left. When no more
events remain, it will return ERR.
+ correct transfer of multicolumn characters in multirow
field_buffer(), which stopped at the end of the first row due to
filling of unused entries in a cchar_t array with nulls.
+ updated nsterm* entries (Benjamin Sittler, Emanuele Giaquinta)

dependency for tinfo library (patch by Charles Wilson).
+ improve comparison of program-names when checking for linked flavors
such as "reset" by ignoring the executable suffix (reports by Charles
Wilson, Samuel Thibault and Cedric Bretaudeau on Cygwin mailing
list).
+ suppress configure check for static/dynamic linker flags for gcc on
Solaris 10, since gcc is confused by absence of static libc, and
does not switch back to dynamic mode before finishing the libraries
(reports by Joel Bertrand, Alan Pae).
+ minor fixes to Intel compiler warning checks in configure script.
+ modify _nc_leaks_tinfo() so leak-checking in test/railroad.c works.
+ modify set_curterm() to make broken-linker configuration work with
changes from 20090228 (report by Charles Wilson).
+ add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
+ add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
+ modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
etc. This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
Werner Fink).
+ add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
