+ correct a check made in lib_napms.c, so that terminfo applications
can again use napms() (cf: 20110604).
+ add a note in tic.h regarding required casts for ABSENT_BOOLEAN
(cf: 20040327).
+ correct scripting for --disable-echo option in test/configure.
+ amend check for missing c++ compiler to work when no error is
reported, and no variables set (cf: 20021206).
+ add/use configure macro CF_DISABLE_ECHO.
+ 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 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
+ correct CF_ETIP_DEFINES configure macro, making it exit properly on
the first success (patch by Pierre Labastie).
+ improve configure macro CF_MKSTEMP by moving existence-check for
mkstemp out of the AC_TRY_RUN, to help with cross-compiles.
+ improve configure macro CF_FUNC_POLL from luit changes to detect
broken implementations, e.g., with Mac OS X.
+ add configure option --with-tparm-arg
+ build-fix for MinGW cross-compiling, so that make_hash does not
depend on TTY definition (cf: 20111008).
+ 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*.
+ modify make_db_path() to allow creating "terminfo.db" in the same
directory as an existing "terminfo" directory. This fixes a case
where switching between hashed/filesystem databases would cause the
new hashed database to be installed in the next best location -
root's home directory.
+ add variable cf_cv_prog_gnat_correct to those passed to
config.status, fixing a problem with Ada95 builds (cf: 20111022).
+ change feature test from _XPG5 to _XOPEN_SOURCE in two places, to
accommodate broken implementations for _XPG6.
+ eliminate usage of NULL symbol from etip.h, to reduce header
interdependencies.
+ add configure check to decide when to add _XOPEN_SOURCE define to
compiler options, i.e., for Solaris 10 and later (cf: 20100403).
This is a workaround for gcc 4.6, which fails to build the c++
binding if that symbol is defined by the application, due to
incorrectly combining the corresponding feature test macros
(report by Peter Kruse).
+ correct logic for discarding mouse events, retaining the partial
events used to build up click, double-click, etc, until needed
(cf: 20110917).
+ fix configure script to avoid creating unused Ada95 makefile when
gnat does not work.
+ cleanup width-related gcc 3.4.3 warnings for 64-bit platform, for the
internal functions of libncurses. The external interface of courses
uses bool, which still produces these warnings.
+ 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.
+ moved static data from db_iterator.c to lib_data.c
+ modify db_iterator.c for memory-leak checking, fix one leak.
+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to use Requires.private for the parts
of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the
other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728).
+ add a check to ensure that termcap files which might have "^?" do
not use the terminfo interpretation as "\177".
+ minor cleanup of X-terminal emulator section of terminfo.src -TD
+ add terminator entry -TD
+ add simpleterm entry -TD
+ improve wattr_get macros by ensuring that if the window pointer is
null, then the attribute and color values returned will be zero
(cf: 20110528).
+ 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.
+ improve cleanup() function in lib_tstp.c, using _exit() rather than
exit() and checking for SIGTERM rather than SIGQUIT (prompted by
comments forwarded by Nicholas Marriott).
+ reduce name pollution from term.h, moving fallback #define's for
tcgetattr(), etc., to new private header nc_termios.h (report by
Sergio NNX).
+ two minor fixes for tracing (patch by Vassili Courzakis).
+ improve trace initialization by starting it in use_env() and
ripoffline().
+ review old email, add details for some changelog entries.
+ 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 check in test/configure for use_window, use_screen.
+ add configure-checks for getopt's variables, which may be declared
as different types on some Unix systems.
+ add check in test/configure for some legacy curses types of the
function pointer passed to tputs().
+ modify init_pair() to accept -1's for color value after
assume_default_colors() has been called (Debian #337905).
+ modify test/background.c, adding commmand-line options to demonstrate
assume_default_colors() and use_default_colors().
+ fixes to build c++ binding with clang 3.0 (patch by Alexander
Kolesen).
+ add check for unctrl.h in test/configure, to work around breakage in
some ncurses packages.
+ add "--disable-widec" option to test/configure script.
+ add "--with-curses-colr" and "--with-curses-5lib" options to the
test/configure script to address testing with very old machines.
+ 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.
+ 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
+ modify nc_tparm.h, adding guards against repeated inclusion, and
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
strings from xterm+256color and xterm+88color, and provide a reduced
version which works with termcap.
+ remove obsolete emacs "Local Variables" section from documentation
(request by Sven Joachim).
+ update doc/html/index.html to include NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html
(report by Sven Joachim).
+ miscellaneous build-fixes for Ada95 and test-directories when built
out-of-tree.

+ fix typo in rmso for tek4106 entry -Goran Weinholt
+ improve checks in test/configure for X libraries, from xterm #267
changes.
+ modify test/configure to allow it to use the build-tree's libraries
e.g., when using that to configure the test-programs without the
rpath feature (request by Sven Joachim).
+ repurpose "gnome" terminfo entries as "vte", retaining "gnome" items
for compatibility, but generally deprecating those since the VTE
library is what actually defines the behavior of "gnome", etc.,
since 2003 -TD
+ add "XT" capability to entries for terminals that support both
xterm-style mouse- and title-controls, for "screen" which
special-cases TERM beginning with "xterm" or "rxvt" -TD
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ use 64-Bit MinGW toolchain (recommended package from TDM, see
README.MinGW).
+ support pthreads when using the TDM MinGW toolchain
+ correct a typo in mk-1st.awk (patch by Gabriele Balducci)
(cf: 20100724)
+ improve configure checks for location of tic and infocmp programs
used for installing database and for generating fallback data,
e.g., for cross-compiling.
+ add Markus Kuhn's wcwidth function for compiling MinGW
+ add special case to CF_REGEX for cross-compiling to MinGW target.
+ add configure option --enable-pthreads-eintr to control whether the
new EINTR feature is enabled.

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.

+ correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for begy/begx values
(patch by David Benjamin).
+ fix most compiler warnings from clang.

configuration as well as for rpath feature in *-config scripts.
+ generate manpages for the *-config scripts, adapted from help2man
(suggested by Sven Joachim).
+ use va_copy() in _nc_printf_string() to avoid conflicting use of
va_list value in _nc_printf_length() (report by Wim Lewis).
+ 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).
+ reorder WINDOWLIST to put WINDOW data after SCREEN pointer, making
_nc_screen_of() compatible between normal/wide libraries again (patch
by Miroslav Lichvar)
+ review/fix include-dependencies in modules files (report by Miroslav
Lichvar).
+ modify configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., to use CF_ADD_CFLAGS
consistently to add new -D's while removing duplicates.

before older in the list.
+ add tiparm(), based on review of X/Open Curses Issue 7.
+ minor documentation cleanup.

+ improve test/ncurses.c color-cycling test by reusing attribute-
and color-cycling logic from the video-attributes screen.
+ add ifdef'd with NCURSES_INTEROP_FUNCS experimental bindings in form
library which help make it compatible with interop applications
(patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ add configure option --enable-interop, for integrating changes
for generic/interop support to form-library by Juergen Pfeifer
+ add WACS_xxx definitions to wide-character configuration for thick-
and double-lines (discussion with Slava Zanko).
+ remove unnecessary kcan assignment to ^C from putty (Sven Joachim)
+ add ccc and initc capabilities to xterm-16color -TD
> patch by Benjamin C W Sittler:
+ add linux-16color
+ correct initc capability of linux-c-nc end-of-range
+ similar change for dg+ccc and dgunix+ccc
+ fix typo s/is_timeout/is_notimeout/ which made "man is_notimeout" not
work.
+ add null-pointer checks to other opaque-functions.
+ add is_pad() and is_subwin() functions for opaque access to WINDOW
(discussion with Mark Dickinson).
+ correct merge to lib_newterm.c, which broke when sp-funcs was
enabled.
+ build-fix for building outside source-tree (report by Sven Joachim).
+ fix Debian lintian warning for man/tabs.1 by making section number
agree with file-suffix (report by Sven Joachim).
+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+ correct use of terminfo capabilities for initializing soft-keys,
broken in 20090509 merging.
+ modify wgetch() to ensure it checks SIGWINCH when it gets an error
in non-blocking mode (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
+ use PATH_SEPARATOR symbol when substituting into run_tic.sh, to
help with builds on non-Unix platforms such as OS/2 EMX.
+ modify scripting for misc/run_tic.sh to test configure script's
$cross_compiling variable directly rather than comparing host/build
compiler names (prompted by comment in GenToo #249363).
+ fix configure script option --with-database, which was coded as an
enable-type switch.
+ build-fixes for --srcdir (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
+ fix a null-pointer check in _nc_format_slks() in lib_slk.c, from
20070704 changes.
+ modify _nc_find_type_entry() to use hashing.
+ make CCHARW_MAX value configurable, noting that changing this would
change the size of cchar_t, and would be ABI-incompatible.
+ modify test-programs, e.g,. test/view.c, to address subtle
differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX getcchar() return
values.
+ modify length returned by getcchar() to count the trailing null
which is documented in X/Open (cf: 20020427).
+ fixes for test programs to build/work on HPUX and AIX, etc.
+ improve performance of tigetstr, etc., by using hashing code from tic.
+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking.
