+ keep track of TERMINAL* values
+ if tracing was first turned on after initialization, attempt to
show distinct screen, window and terminal names anyway.
+ ensure that GCC_NORETURN is defined in term.h, because the prototype
for exit_terminfo() uses it (report by Werner Fink).
+ check parameter of set_escdelay, return ERR if negative.
+ check parameter of set_tabsize, return ERR if not greater than zero
(report/patch by Anthony Sottile).
+ revise CF_ADD_LIBS macro to prepend rather than append libraries.

allow renaming the "AdaCurses" library (prompted by proposed changes
by Pascal Pignard).

the --enable-warnings option is not used, to avoid unnecessary
warnings about unrecognized inline options (report by Sven Joachim).

details where it still differed from SVr4.
+ fix some cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses test-programs.
+ change reset's behavior for margins to simply clear soft-margins if
possible, rather than clearing and then setting them according to the

in Emscripten #6766, use that to optionally suppress START_TRACE
macro, whose call to getenv() may not work properly (report by Ilya
Ig Petrov).
+ modify initialization functions to avoid relying upon persistent
data for the result from getenv().
+ update config.guess, config.sub
+ check for TABSIZE variable in test/configure script.
+ used test/test_arrays.c to improve Caps.aix1 and Caps.hpux11
+ corrected filtering of comments in MKparametrized.sh

with Redhat's package for ncurses6.
+ modify no-leaks code in test/picsmap to avoid non-standard tdestroy.

to avoid attempting to install the terminfo database when it was not
configured, to allow for installing the ".pc" files which are also
in the misc directory (report by Steve Wills).

"%global" to work around changes in rpm 4.14 from recent Redhat.
+ fixes for O_INPUT_FIELD extension (patch by Leon Winter).
+ eliminate fixed buffer-size when reading $TERMCAP variable.

names.
+ several fixes for gcc8 strict compiler warnings.

+ CF_VA_COPY, add fallback check if neither va_copy/__va_copy is
supported, to try copying the pointers for va_list, or as an array.
Also add another fallback check, for __builtin_va_copy(), which
could be used with AIX xlc in c89 mode.
+ add midnightbsd to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro (patch by Urs Jansen).

different character pages.

used.
+ build-fix for test/movewindow with ncurses-examples on Solaris.
+ add "-l" option to test/background, to dump screen contents in a form
that lets different curses implementations be compared.

"too large".

install (Debian #903790):
+ use "install -p" when available, to avoid need for ranlib of
static libraries.
+ modify scripts which use "--disable-relink" to add a 1-second
sleep to work around tools which use whole-second timestamps, e.g.,
in utime() rather than the actual file system resolution.
+ add "--disable-touching" option for using "install -p" option during
the install, e.g., so that header-files have a predictable timestamp.
+ build-fixes for gcc8.
+ corrected acsc for wy50 -TD
+ add wy50 and wy60 shifted function-keys as kF1 to kF16 -TD
+ remove ansi+rep mis-added to interix in 2018-02-23 -TD
+ use _WIN32/_WIN64 in preference to __MINGW32__/__MINGW64__ symbols
to simplify building with MSVC, since the former are defined in both
compiler configurations (report by Ali Abdulkadir).
+ further improvements to configure-checks from work on dialog, i.e.,
updated CF_ADD_INCDIR, CF_FIND_LINKAGE, CF_GCC_WARNINGS,
CF_GNU_SOURCE, CF_LARGEFILE, CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE, CF_SIZECHANGE, and
CF_TRY_XOPEN_SOURCE.

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git

use of vsscanf and setenv.

and vw_scanw, respectively.
+ add note in curs_util.3x about unctrl.h
+ review/improve header files to ensure that those include necessary
files except for the previously-documented cases (report by Isaac
Pascual Monells).
+ improved test-package scripts, adapted from byacc 1.9 20180525.
+ fix some gcc8 warnings seen in Redhat package build, but

versions of tack.
+ fix a special case in PutAttrChar() where a cell is marked as
alternate-character set, but the terminal does not actually support
the given graphic character. This would happen in an older terminal
such as vt52, which lacks most line-drawing capability.
+ use configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
conflict with Debian packages versus test-packages.
+ update tracemunch to work with perl 5.26.2, which changed the rules
for escaping regular expressions.
+ clarify in manual pages that vwprintw and vwscanw are obsolete,
not part of X/Open Curses since 2007.
+ use "const" in some prototypes rather than NCURSES_CONST where X/Open
Curses was updated to do this, e.g., wscanw, newterm, the terminfo
interface. Also use "const" for consistency in the termcap
interface, which was withdrawn by X/Open Curses in Issue 5 (2007).
As of Issue 7, X/Open Curses still lacks "const" for certain return
values, e.g., keyname().
+ amend Scaled256() macro in test/picsmap.c to cover the full range
0..1000 (report by Roger Pau Monne).
+ add some checks in tracemunch for undefined variables.
+ remove incorrect free() from 20170617 changes (report by David Macek).

+ improve fix for Debian #882620 by reusing limit2 variable (report
Julien Cristau, Sven Cristau).

+ amend a warning message from tic which should have flagged misuse
of "XT" capability in "screen" terminal description.
> terminfo changes:
+ trim "XT" from screen entry, add comments to explain why it was
not suitable -TD

+ mark konsole-420pc, konsole-vt100, konsole-xf3x obsolete reflecting
konsole's removal in 2008 -TD
+ expanded the history section of konsole to explain its flawed
imitation of xterm's keyboard -TD
+ use xterm+x11mouse in screen.* entries because screen does not yet
support xterm's 1006 mode -TD
+ add nsterm-build400 for macOS 10.13 -TD
+ add ansi+idc1, use that in ansi+idc adding dch for consistency -TD
+ update vte to vte-2017 -TD
+ add ecma+strikeout to vte-2017 -TD
+ add iterm2-direct -TD
+ updated teraterm, added teraterm-256color -TD
+ add mlterm-direct -TD
+ add descriptions for ANSI building-blocks -TD
