+ add -W option to tic/infocmp to force long strings to wrap. This is
in addition to the -w option which attempts to fit capabilities into
a given line-length.
+ add linux-m1 minitel entries (patch by Alexandre Montaron).
+ correct rs2 string for vt100-nam -TD
+ modify _nc_tic_expand to escape comma if it immediately follows a
percent sign, to work with minitel change.
+ updated minitel and viewdata descriptions (Alexandre Montaron).
+ trim dead code ifdef'd with HIDE_EINTR since 970830 (discussion with
Leon Winter).
+ trim some obsolete/incorrect wording about EINTR from wgetch manual
page (patch by Leon Winter).
+ really correct 20100515 change (patch by Rich Coe).
+ add "--enable-string-hacks" option to test/configure
+ completed string-hacks for "sprintf", etc., including test-programs.
+ make "--enable-string-hacks" work with Debian by checking for the
"bsd" library and its associated "<bsd/string.h>" header.
+ correct 20100515 change for weak signals versus sigprocmask (report
by Rich Coe).
+ modify misc/Makefile.in to work around OpenBSD "make" which unlike
all other versions of "make" does not recognize continuation lines
of comments.
+ amend the last change to CF_C_ENV_FLAGS to move only the
preprocessor, optimization and warning flags to CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS,
leaving the residue in CC. That happens to work for gcc's various
"model" options, but may require tuning for other compilers (report
by Sven Joachim).
+ add "v" menu entry to test/ncurses.c to show baudrate and other
values.
+ add "newer" baudrate symbols from Linux and FreeBSD to progs/tset.c,
lib_baudrate.c
+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro:
+ add "uclinux" to case for "linux" (patch by Yann E. Morin)
+ modify _GNU_SOURCE for cygwin headers, tested with cygwin 2.3, 2.5
(patch by Corinna Vinschen, from changes to tin).
+ improve CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS macro to allow for compiler wrappers such
as "ccache" (report by Enrico Scholz).
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+ update tput manual page to reflect changes to manipulate terminal
modes by sharing functions with tset.
+ add the terminal-mode parts of "reset" (aka tset) to the "tput reset"
command, making the two almost the same except for window-size.
+ adapt logic used in dialog "--keep-tite" option for test/filter.c as
"-a" option. When set, test/filter attempts to suppress the
alternate screen.
+ correct a typo in interix entry -TD
+ add a dependency upon generated-sources in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to
handle a case of "configure && make install".
+ trim trailing blanks from include/Caps*, to work around a problem
in sed (Debian #818067).
+ improve CF_GNU_SOURCE configure macro to optionally define
_DEFAULT_SOURCE work around a nuisance in recent glibc releases.
+ move the terminfo-specific parts of tput's "reset" function into
the shared reset_cmd.c, making the two forms of reset use the same
strings.
+ split-out the terminal initialization functions from tset as
progs/reset_cmd.c, as part of changes to merge the reset-feature
with tput.
+ change tset's initialization to allow it to get settings from the
standard input as well as /dev/tty, to be more effective when
output or error are redirected.
+ improve discussion of history and portability for tset/reset/tput
manual pages.
+ improve error message from tset/reset when both stderr/stdout are
redirected to a file or pipe.
+ improve organization of curs_attr.3x, curs_color.3x
+ work around Debian's antique/unmaintained version of mawk when
building link_test.
+ improve test/list_keys.c, showing ncurses's convention of modifiers
for special keys, based on xterm.
+ revise fix for Debian #805618 (report by Vlado Potisk, cf: 20151128).
+ modify test/ncurses.c a/A screens to make exiting on an escape
character depend on the start of keypad and timeout modes, to allow
better testing of function-keys.
+ modify rs1 for xterm-16color, xterm-88color and xterm-256color to
reset palette using "oc" string as in linux -TD
+ use ANSI reply for u8 in xterm-new, to reflect vt220-style responses
that could be returned -TD
+ added a few capabilities fixed in recent vte -TD
+ improved manual page description of tset/reset versus window-size.
+ fixes to work with a slightly broken compiler configuration which
cannot compile "Hello World!" without adding compiler options
(report by Ola x Nilsson):
+ pass appropriate compiler options to the CF_PROG_CC_C_O macro.
+ when separating compiler and options in CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS, ensure
that all options are split-off into CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS
+ restore some -I options removed in 20140726 because they appeared
to be redundant. In fact, they are needed for a compiler that
cannot combine -c and -o options.
+ regenerate HTML manpages.
+ improve manual pages for wgetch and wget_wch to point out that they
might return values without names in curses.h (Debian #822426).
+ make linux3.0 entry the default linux entry (Debian #823658) -TD
+ modify linux2.6 entry to improve line-drawing so that the linux3.0
entry can be used in non-UTF-8 mode -TD
+ document return value of use_extended_names (report by Mike Gran).
+ amend change to _nc_do_color to restore the early return for the
special case used in _nc_screen_wrap (report by Dick Streefland,
cf: 20151017).
+ modify test/ncurses.c:
+ check return-value of putwin
+ correct ifdef which made the 'g' test's legend not reflect changes
to keypad- and scroll-modes.
+ correct return-value of extended putwin (report by Mike Gran).
+ modify test/ncurses.c 'd' edit-color menu to optionally read xterm
color palette directly from terminal, as well as handling KEY_RESIZE
and screen-repainting with control/L and control/R.
+ add 'oc' capability to xterm+256color, allowing palette reset for
xterm -TD
+ add workaround in configure script for inept transition to PIE vs
PIC builds documented in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Harden_All_Packages
+ add "reset" to list of programs whose names might change in manpages
due to program-transformation configure options.
+ drop long-obsolete "-n" option from tset.
+ regenerate HTML manpages.
+ improve test/demo_menus.c, allowing mouse-click on the menu-headers
to switch the active menu. This requires a new extension option
O_MOUSE_MENU to tell the menu driver to put mouse events which do not
apply to the active menu back into the queue so that the application
can handle the event.
+ improve description of tgoto parameters (report by Steffen Nurpmeso).
+ amend workaround for Solaris line-drawing to restore a special case
that maps Unicode line-drawing characters into the acsc string for
non-Unicode locales (Debian #816888).
+ modified test/filter.c to illustrate an alternative to getnstr, that
polls for input while updating a clock on the right margin as well
as responding to window size-changes.
+ modify test/configure script to check for pthread dependency of
ncursest or ncursestw library when building ncurses examples, e.g.,
in case weak symbols are used.
+ modify configure macro for shared-library rules to use -Wl,-rpath
rather than -rpath to work around a bug in scons (FreeBSD #178732,
cf: 20061021).
+ double-width multibyte characters were not counted properly in
winsnstr and wins_nwstr (report/example by Eric Pruitt).
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+ amend fix for _nc_ripoffline from 20091031 to make test/ditto.c work
in threaded configuration.
+ move _nc_tracebits, _tracedump and _tracemouse to curses.priv.h,
since they are not part of the suggested ABI6.
+ define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN for MinGW port, making builds faster.
+ modify test/ditto.c to allow $XTERM_PROG environment variable to
override "xterm" as the name of the program to run in the threaded
configuration.
+ improve formatting of man/curs_refresh.3x and man/tset.1 manpages
+ regenerate HTML manpages using newer man2html to eliminate some
unwanted blank lines.
+ tidy up comments about hardcoded 256color palette (report by
Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
+ add putty-noapp entry, and amend putty entry to use application mode
for better consistency with xterm (report by Leonardo Brondani
Schenkel) -TD
+ modify _nc_viscbuf2() and _tracecchar_t2() to trace wide-characters
as a whole rather than their multibyte equivalents.
+ minor fix in wadd_wchnstr() to ensure that each cell has nonzero
width.
+ move PUTC_INIT calls next to wcrtomb calls, to avoid carry-over of
error status when processing Unicode values which are not mapped.
+ modify ncurses c/C color test-screens to take advantage of wide
screens, reducing the number of lines used for 88- and 256-colors.
+ minor refinement to check versus ncv to ignore two parameters of
SGR 38 and 48 when those come from color-capabilities.
+ add check in tic for use of bold, etc., video attributes in the
color capabilities, accounting whether the feature is listed in ncv.
+ add check in tic for conflict between ritm, rmso, rmul versus sgr0.
+ add a paragraph to curs_getch.3x discussing key naming (discussion
with James Crippen).
+ amend workaround for Solaris vs line-drawing to take the configure
check into account.
+ add a configure check for wcwidth() versus the ncurses line-drawing
characters, to use in special-casing systems such as Solaris.
+ improve CF_XOPEN_CURSES macro used in test/configure, to define as
needed NCURSES_WIDECHAR for platforms where _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
does not work. Also modified the test program to ensure that if
building with ncurses, that the cchar_t type is checked, since that
normally is since 20111030 ifdef'd depending on this test.
+ improve 20121222 workaround for broken acs, letting Solaris "work"
in spite of its m.isconfigured wcwidth which marks all of the line
drawing characters as double-width.
+ update form_cursor.3x, form_post.3x, menu_attributes.3x to list
function names in NAME section (patch by Jason McIntyre).
+ minor fixes to manpage NAME/SYNOPSIS sections to consistently use
rule that either all functions which are prototyped in SYNOPSIS are
listed in the NAME section, or the manual-page name is the sole item
listed in the NAME section. The latter is used to reduce clutter,
e.g., for the top-level library manual pages as well as for certain
feature-pages such as SP-funcs and threading (prompted by patches by
Jason McIntyre).
+ add option to preserve leading whitespace in form fields (patch by
Leon Winter).
+ add missing assignment in lib_getch.c to make notimeout() work
(Debian #805618).
+ add 't' toggle for notimeout() function in test/ncurses.c a/A screens
+ add viewdata terminal description (Alexandre Montaron).
+ fix a case in tic/infocmp for formatting capabilities where a
backslash at the end of a string was mishandled.
+ fix some typos in curs_inopts.3x (Benno Schulenberg).
+ fix some inconsistencies in the pccon* entries -TD
+ add bold to pccon+sgr+acs and pccon-base (Tati Chevron).
+ add keys f12-f124 to pccon+keys (Tati Chevron).
+ add test/test_sgr.c program to exercise all combinations of sgr.
+ modify tset's assignment to TERM in its output to reflect the name by
which the terminal description is found, rather than the primary
name. That was an unnecessary part from the initial conversion of
tset from termcap to terminfo. The termcap program in 4.3BSD did
this to avoid using the short 2-character name (report by Rich
Burridge).
+ minor fix to configure script to ensure that rules for resulting.map
are only generated when needed (cf: 20151101).
+ modify configure script to handle the case where tic-library is
renamed, but the --with-debug option is used by itself without
normal or shared libraries (prompted by comment in Debian #803482).
+ amend change for pkg-config which allows build of pc-files when no
valid pkg-config library directory was configured to suppress the
actual install if it is not overridden to a valid directory at
install time (cf: 20150822).
+ modify editing script which generates resulting.map to work with the
clang configuration on recent FreeBSD, which gives an error on an
empty "local" section.
+ fix a spurious "(Part)" message in test/ncurses.c b/B tests due
to incorrect attribute-masking.
+ modify MKexpanded.c to update the expansion of a temporary filename
to "expanded.c", for use in trace statements.
+ modify layout of b/B tests in test/ncurses.c to allow for additional
annotation on the right margin; some terminals with partial support
did not display well.
+ fix typo in curs_attr.3x (patch by Sven Joachim).
+ fix typo in INSTALL (patch by Tomas Cech).
+ improve configure check for setting WILDCARD_SYMS variable; on ppc64
the variable is in the Data section rather than Text (patch by Michel
Normand).
+ using configure option "--without-fallbacks" incorrectly caused
FALLBACK_LIST to be set to "no" (patch by Tomas Cech).
+ updated minitel entries to fix kel problem with emacs, and add
minitel1b-nb (Alexandre Montaron).
+ reviewed/updated nsterm entry Terminal.app in OSX -TD
+ replace some dead URLs in comments with equivalents from the
Internet Archive -TD
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+ modify ncurses/Makefile.in to sort keys.list in POSIX locale
(Debian #801864, patch by Esa Peuha).
+ remove an early-return from _nc_do_color, which can interfere with
data needed by bkgd when ncurses is configured with extended colors
(patch by Denis Tikhomirov).
> fixes for OS/2 (patches by KO Myung-Hun)
+ use button instead of kbuf[0] in EMX-specific part of lib_mouse.c
+ support building with libtool on OS/2
+ use stdc++ on OS/2 kLIBC
+ clear cf_XOPEN_SOURCE on OS/2
+ add configure check for openpty to test/configure script, for ditto.
+ minor fixes to test/view.c in investigating Debian #790847.
+ update autoconf patch to 2.52.20150926, incorporates a fix for Cdk.
+ add workaround for breakage of POSIX makefiles by recent binutils
change.
+ improve check for working poll() by using posix_openpt() as a
fallback in case there is no valid terminal on the standard input
(prompted by discussion on bug-ncurses mailing list, Debian #676461).
+ change makefile rule for removing resulting.map to distclean rather
than clean.
+ add /lib/terminfo to terminfo-dirs in ".deb" test-package.
+ add note on portability of resizeterm and wresize to manual pages.
+ clarify in resizeterm.3x how KEY_RESIZE is pushed onto the input
stream.
+ clarify in curs_getch.3x that the keypad mode affects ability to
read KEY_MOUSE codes, but does not affect KEY_RESIZE.
+ add overlooked build-fix needed with Cygwin for separate Ada95
configure script, cf: 20150606 (report by Nicolas Boulenguez)
+ fixes for configure/build using clang on OSX (prompted by report by
William Gallafent).
+ do not redefine "inline" in ncurses_cfg.h; this was originally to
solve a problem with gcc/g++, but is aggravated by clang's misuse
of symbols to pretend it is gcc.
+ add braces to configure script to prevent unwanted add of
"-lstdc++" to the CXXLIBS symbol.
+ improve/update test-program used for checking existence of stdc++
library.
+ if $CXXLIBS is set, the linkage test uses that in addition to $LIBS
