+ 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).
+ improve discussion in INSTALL for use of system's tic/infocmp for
cross-compiling and building fallbacks.
+ modify test/demo_termcap.c to correspond better to options in
test/demo_terminfo.c
+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+ fix logic for 'V' in test/ncurses.c tests f/F.
+ 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).

unctrl().
+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+ update llib-lncurses[wt] to use sp-funcs.
+ various code-fixes to build/work with --disable-macros configure
option.
+ add several new files from Juergen Pfeifer which will be used when
integration of "sp-funcs" is complete. This includes a port to
MinGW.
+ 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).
+ fix an infinite recursion when adding a legacy-coding 8-bit value
using insch() (report by Clemens Ladisch).

its result against ERR (adapted from patch by Matt Kraii, Debian
#528374).
+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
This change finishes merging for menu and panel libraries, does
part of the form library.
+ extend ansi.sys pfkey capability from kf1-kf10 to kf1-kf48, moving
function key definitions from emx-base for consistency -TD
+ correct missing final 'p' in pfkey capability of ansi.sys-old (report
by Kalle Olavi Niemitalo).
+ improve test/ncurses.c 'F' test, show combining characters in color.
+ quiet a false report by cppcheck in c++/cursesw.cc by eliminating
a temporary variable.
+ use _nc_doalloc() rather than realloc() in a few places in ncurses
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).
+ modify scripts to generate ncurses*-config and pc-files to add
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).
+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+ modify declaration of cur_term when broken-linker is used, but
enable-reentrant is not, to match pre-5.7 (report by 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.
+ modify init_pair() to allow caller to create extra color pairs beyond
the color_pairs limit, which use default colors (request by Emanuele
Giaquinta).
+ add misc/terminfo.tmp and misc/*.pc to "sources" rule.
+ fix typo "==" where "=" is needed in ncurses-config.in and
gen-pkgconfig.in files (Debian #512161).
+ add -shared option to MK_SHARED_LIB when -Bsharable is used, for
*BSD's, without which "main" might be one of the shared library's
dependencies (report/analysis by Ken Dickey).
+ modify waddch_literal(), updating line-pointer after a multicolumn
character is found to not fit on the current row, and wrapping is
done. Since the line-pointer was not updated, the wrapped
multicolumn character was written to the beginning of the current row
(cf: 20041023, reported by "Nick" regarding problem with ncmpc
http://musicpd.org/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1930).
+ add screen.Eterm terminfo entry (GenToo #124887) -TD
+ modify adacurses-config to look for ".ali" files in the adalib
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).
+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to eliminate a dependency on rpath when
deciding whether to add $LIBS to --libs output; that should be shown
for the ncurses and tinfo libraries without taking rpath into
account.
+ fix an overlooked change from $AR_OPTS to $ARFLAGS in mk-1st.awk,
used in static libraries (report by Marty Jack).
+ add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris (report by Dagobert Michelsen).
+ add configure --with-pkg-config and --enable-pc-files options, along
with misc/gen-pkgconfig.in which can be used to generate ".pc" files
for pkg-config (request by Jan Engelhardt).
+ use $includedir symbol in misc/ncurses-config.in, add --includedir
option.
+ change makefiles to use $ARFLAGS rather than $AR_OPTS, provide a
configure check to detect whether a "-" is needed before "ar"
options.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
+ modify mk-1st.awk to work with extra categories for tinfo library.
+ modify configure script to allow building shared libraries with gcc
on AIX 5 or 6 (adapted from patch by Lital Natan).
+ modify to omit the opaque-functions from lib_gen.o when
--disable-ext-funcs is used.
+ add test/clip_printw.c to illustrate how to use printw without
wrapping.
+ modify ncurses 'F' test to demo wborder_set() with colored lines.
+ modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder() with colored lines.
+ add check for failure to open hashed-database needed for db4.6
(GenToo #245370).
+ corrected --without-manpages option; previous change only suppressed
the auxiliary rules install.man and uninstall.man
+ add case for FreeMINT to configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE (patch from
GenToo #250454).
+ fixes from NetBSD port at
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/patches
patch-ac (build-fix for DragonFly)
patch-ae (use INSTALL_SCRIPT for installing misc/ncurses*-config).
+ improve configure script macros CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_LIBRARY_PATH
by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS values to the
search-lists.
+ correct title string for keybound manpage (patch by Frederic Culot,
OpenBSD documentation/6019),
+ move del_curterm() call from _nc_freeall() to _nc_leaks_tinfo() to
work for progs/clear, progs/tabs, etc.
+ correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character
set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran).
+ add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather
than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that
ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue
was xterm's alternate screen feature).
+ add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a
zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717,
adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault).
+ improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control
character is found. The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to
obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not
passing color or video attributes.
+ improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl() more consistently to
display meta-characters.
+ turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h
+ add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD
+ correct use of key_name() in test/ncurses.c 'A' test, which only
displays wide-characters, not key-codes since 20070612 (report by
Ricardo Cantu).
+ change _nc_has_mouse() to has_mouse(), reflect its use in C++ and
Ada95 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ document in TO-DO an issue with Cygwin's package for GNAT (report
by Mike Dennison).
+ improve error-checking of command-line options in "tabs" program.
+ change several terminfo entries to make consistent use of ANSI
clear-all-tabs -TD
+ add "tabs" program (prompted by Debian #502260).
+ add configure --without-manpages option (request by Mike Frysinger).
+ add a manpage to discuss memory leaks.
+ add support for shared libraries for QNX (other than libtool, which
does not work well on that platform).
+ build-fix for QNX C++ binding.
+ build-fixes for OS/2 EMX.
+ modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris (report by
Nit Khair).
+ modify configure script to assume --without-hashed-db when
--disable-database is used.
+ add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating source-files
to force earlier exit if the build environment fails unexpectedly
(prompted by patch by Adrian Bunk).
+ change configure script to use CF_UTF8_LIB, improved variant of
CF_LIBUTF8.
+ add teraterm4.59 terminfo entry, use that as primary teraterm entry, rename
original to teraterm2.3 -TD
+ update "gnome" terminfo to 2.22.3 -TD
+ update "konsole" terminfo to 1.6.6, needs today's fix for tic -TD
+ add "aterm" terminfo -TD
+ add "linux2.6.26" terminfo -TD
+ add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined capabilities,
overlooked til now.
+ update html documentation.
+ add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
+ correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
+ document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
+ fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
+ add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
