+ 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).
+ make sgr for xterm-pcolor agree with other caps -TD
+ make sgr for att5425 agree with other caps -TD
+ make sgr for att630 agree with other caps -TD
+ make sgr for linux entries agree with other caps -TD
+ make sgr for tvi9065 agree with other caps -TD

+ make sgr for aaa-60-dec-rv, aaa+dec agree with other caps -TD
+ make sgr for cygwin, cygwinDBG agree with other caps -TD
+ add configure option --with-xterm-kbs to simplify configuration for
Linux versus most other systems.
+ add --with-lib-prefix option to allow configuring for old/new flavors
of OS/2 EMX.
+ modify check for gnat version to allow for year, as used in FreeBSD
port.
+ modify check_existence() in db_iterator.c to simply check if the
path is a directory or file, according to the need. Checking for
directory size also gives no usable result with OS/2 (cf: 20120107).
+ support OS/2 kLIBC (patch by KO Myung-Han).
+ various improvments for MinGW (patch by Juergen Pfeifer):
+ modify stat() calls to ignore the st_size member
+ drop mk-dlls.sh script.
+ change recommended regular expression library.
+ modify rain.c to allow for threaded configuraton.
+ modify tset.c to allow for case when size-change logic is not used.
+ 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.
+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() so that hashed-database is checked before
filesystem.
+ updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
+ modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick
Alcock aka "Nix").
+ build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (ch: 20110917).
+ modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with
the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0"
(cf: 20110716).
+ revert a change to getmouse() which had the undesirable side-effect
of suppressing button-release events (report by Damien Guibouret,
cf: 20100102).
+ add xterm+kbs fragment from xterm #272 -TD
+ add configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir to provide control over
the actual directory into which pc-files are installed, do not use
the pkg-config environment variables (discussion with Frederic L W
Meunier).
+ add link to mailing-list archive in announce.html.in, as done in
FAQ (prompted by question by Andrius Bentkus).
+ improve manpage install by adjusting the "#include" examples to
show the ncurses-subdirectory used when --disable-overwrite option
is used.
+ install an alias for "curses" to the ncurses manpage, tied to the
--with-curses-h configure option (suggested by Reuben Thomas).
+ replace an assert() in _nc_Free_Argument() with a regular null
pointer check (report/analysis by Franjo Ivancic).
+ modify configure --enable-pc-files option to take into account the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
+ add/use xterm+tmux chunk from xterm #271 -TD
+ resync xterm-new entry from xterm #271 -TD
+ add E3 extended capability to linux-basic (Miroslav Lichvar)
+ add linux2.2, linux2.6, linux3.0 entries to give context for E3 -TD
+ add SI/SO change to linux2.6 entry (Debian #515609) -TD
+ fix inconsistent tabset path in pcmw (Todd C. Miller).
+ remove a backslash which continued comment, obscuring altos3
definition with OpenBSD toolset (Nicholas Marriott).
+ 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().
> portability fixes for Ada95 binding:
+ add configure check to ensure that SIGINT works with gnat. This is
needed for the "rain" sample program. If SIGINT does not work, omit
that sample program.
+ correct typo in check of $PKG_CONFIG variable in Ada95/configure
+ add ncurses_compat.c, to supply functions used in the Ada95 binding
which were added in 5.7 and later.
+ modify sed expression in CF_NCURSES_ADDON to eliminate a dependency
upon GNU sed.
+ 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.

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).

+ improve type-checking in Ada95 by eliminating a few warning-suppress
pragmas.
+ suppress unreferenced warnings.
+ make all dereferences in binding explicit.
+ regen Ada html documentation.

--disable-overwrite option was used, so that the subdirectory include
is listed first.
+ modify the make-tar.sh scripts to add a MANIFEST and NEWS file.
+ modify configure script to provide value for HTML_DIR in
Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, which depends on whether the Ada95 binding is
distributed separately (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ modify configure script to add -g and/or -O3 to ADAFLAGS if the
CFLAGS for the build has these options.
+ amend change from 20070324, to not add 1 to the result of getmaxx
and getmaxy in the Ada binding (report by Nicolas Boulenguez for
thread in comp.lang.ada).
+ build-fix Ada95/samples for gnat 4.5
+ spelling fixes for Ada95/samples/explain.txt
> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
+ add item in Trace_Attribute_Set corresponding to TRACE_ATTRS.
+ add workaround for binding to set_field_type(), which uses varargs.
The original binding from 990220 relied on the prevalent
implementation of varargs which did not support or need va_copy().
+ add dependency on gen/Makefile.in needed for *-panels.ads
+ add Library_Options to library.gpr
+ add Languages to library.gpr, for gprbuild
+ miscellaneous build-fixes for Ada95 and test-directories when built
out-of-tree.

+ correct list of sub-directories needed in Ada95 tree for building as
a separate package.
+ modify scripts in test-directory to improve builds as a separate
package.
+ correct parsing of relative tab-stops in tabs program (report by
Philip Ganchev).
+ adjust configure script so that "t" is not added to library suffix
when weak-symbols are used, allowing the pthread configuration to
more closely match the non-thread naming (report by Werner Fink).
+ modify configure check for tic program, used for fallbacks, to a
warning if not found. This makes it simpler to use additonal
scripts to bootstrap the fallbacks code using tic from the build
tree (report by Werner Fink).
+ fix several places in configure script using ${variable-value} form.
+ modify configure macro CF_LDFLAGS_STATIC to accommodate some loaders
which do not support selectively linking against static libraries
(report by John P. Hartmann)
+ fix an unescaped dash in man/tset.1 (report by Sven Joachim).
+ 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
+ add manpages for summarizing public variables of curses-, terminfo-
and form-libraries.
+ minor fixes to manpages for consistency (patch by Jason McIntyre).

platforms.
+ 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 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
* add hard-reset for rs2 to wsvt25 to help ensure that reset ends
the alternate character set (patch by Nicholas Marriott)
+ remove tar-copy.sh and related configure/Makefile chunks, since the
Ada95 binding is now installed using rules in Ada95/src.
+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
+ add/use configure check to turn on project rules for Ada95/src.
+ revert the vfork change from 20100130, since it does not work.
+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
+ old gnatmake (3.15) does not produce libraries using project-file;
work around by adding script to generate alternate makefile.
+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
+ add configure --with-ada-sharedlib option, for the test_make rule.
+ move Ada95-related logic into aclocal.m4, since additional checks
will be needed to distinguish old/new implementations of gnat.
+ start integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95 tree
+ add test_make / test_clean / test_install rules in Ada95/src
+ change install-path for adainclude directory to /usr/share/ada (was
/usr/lib/ada).
+ update Ada95/configure.
+ add mlterm+256color entry, for mlterm 3.0.0 -TD
+ modify test/configure to use macros to ensure consistent order
of updating LIBS variable.

and --enable-weak-symbols options.
+ add configure option --enable-pthreads-eintr to control whether the
new EINTR feature is enabled.
+ modify logic in pthread configuration to allow EINTR to interrupt
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.
+ fixes for configure script from lynx changes:
+ improve CF_FIND_LINKAGE logic for the case where a function is
found in predefined libraries.

+ make debug-traces for COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER less verbose.
+ improve handling of color-pairs embedded in attributes for the
extended-colors configuration.
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to build link_test with sp-funcs.
+ build-fixes for OpenSolaris aka Solaris 11, for wide-character
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).
+ add Ada95/configure script, to use in tar-file created by
Ada95/make-tar.sh
+ fix typo in wresize.3x (patch by Tim van der Molen).
+ modify screen-bce.XXX entries to exclude ech, since screen's color
model does not clear with color for that feature -TD
+ add make-tar.sh scripts to Ada95 and test subdirectories to help with
making those separately distributable.
+ build-fix for static libraries without dlsym (Debian #556378).
+ fix a syntax error in man/form_field_opts.3x (patch by Ingo
Schwarze).
+ use vfork in test/ditto.c if available (request by Mike Frysinger).
+ miscellaneous cleanup of manpages.
+ fix typo in curs_bkgd.3x (patch by Tim van der Molen).
+ build-fix for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ modify mk-1st.awk to allow tinfo library to be built when term-driver
is enabled.
+ add error-check to configure script to ensure that sp-funcs is
enabled if term-driver is, since some internal interfaces rely upon
this.
+ 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
+ move leak-checking for comp_captab.c into _nc_leaks_tinfo() since
that module since 20090711 is in libtinfo.
+ add configure option --enable-term-driver, to allow compiling with
terminal-driver. That is used in mingw port, and (being somewhat
more complicated) is an experimental alternative to the conventional
termlib internals. Currently, it requires the sp-funcs feature to
be enabled.
+ completed integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer in ncurses
library (some work remains for forms library).
+ 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.
+ move definition for NCURSES_WRAPPED_VAR back to ncurses_dll.h, to
make includes of term.h without curses.h work (report by "Nix").
+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+ extend ansi.sys pfkey capability from kf1-kf10 to kf1-kf48, moving
function key definitions from emx-base for consistency -TD

library to avoid leak in out-of-memory condition (reports by William
Egert and Martin Ettl based on cppcheck tool).
+ add --with-ncurses-wrap-prefix option to test/configure (discussion
with Charles Wilson).
+ use ncurses*-config scripts if available for test/configure.
+ update test/aclocal.m4 and test/configure
> patches by Charles Wilson:
+ modify CF_WITH_LIBTOOL configure check to allow unreleased libtool
version numbers (e.g. which include alphabetic chars, as well as
digits, after the final '.').
+ 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
LIBTOOL_LINK command, depending on which library (ncurses, ticlib,
termlib) is to be linked.
+ modify configure.in to allow broken-linker configurations, not just
enable-reentrant, to set public wrap prefix.
+ add TICS_LIST and SHLIB_LIST to allow libtool 2.2.6 on Cygwin to
build with tic and term libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).
+ add -no-undefined option to libtool for Cygwin, MinGW, U/Win and AIX
(report by Charles Wilson).
+ fix definition for c++/Makefile.in's SHLIB_LIST, which did not list
the form, menu or panel libraries (patch by Charles Wilson).
+ add configure option --with-wrap-prefix to allow setting the prefix
for functions used to wrap global variables to something other than
"_nc_" (discussion with Charles Wilson).
+ add configure script --enable-sp-funcs to enable the new set of
extended functions.
+ start integrating patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ add extended functions which specify the SCREEN pointer for several
curses functions which use the global SP (these are incomplete;
some internals work is needed to complete these).
+ add special cases to configure script for MinGW port.
+ update several configure macros from lynx changes
+ append (not prepend) to CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS
+ change variable from PATHSEP to PATH_SEPARATOR
+ improve install-rules for pc-files (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ make it work with $DESTDIR
+ create the pkg-config library directory if needed.
+ add screen.Eterm terminfo entry (GenToo #124887) -TD

directory.
+ correct install for Ada95, which omitted libAdaCurses.a used in
adacurses-config
+ change install for adacurses-config to provide additional flavors
such as adacursesw-config, for ncursesw (GenToo #167849).
+ remove undeveloped feature in ncurses-config.in for setting
prefix variable.
+ recent change to ncurses-config.in did not take into account the
--disable-overwrite option, which sets $includedir to the
subdirectory and using just that for a -I option does not work - fix
(report by Frederic L W Meunier).
