representation clauses when int=32 long=64 and endian=big, or at
least on s390x (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).

+ modify test/ncurses.c b/B tests to display lines only for the
attributes which a given terminal supports, to make room for an
italics test.
+ completed ncv table in terminfo.tail; it did not list the wide
character codes listed in X/Open Curses issue 7.
+ add A_ITALIC extension (prompted by discussion with Egmont Koblinger).
+ add section to terminfo manpage discussing user-defined capabilities.
+ update manpage description of NCURSES_NO_SETBUF, explaining why it
is obsolete.
+ add a check in waddch_nosync() to ensure that tab characters are
treated as control characters; some broken locales claim they are
printable.
+ add some traces to the Windows console driver.
+ initialize a temporary array in _nc_mbtowc, needed for some cases
of raw input in MinGW port.
+ correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make

are unused in the current driver model.
+ modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses
library.
+ modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage.
+ amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level
putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering.

+ add null-pointer checks in lib_tracemse.c, panel.priv.h, and some
test-programs.
+ also replace MinGW's wctomb(), fixing a problem with setcchar().
+ modify test/view.c to load UTF-8 when built with MinGW by using
regular win32 API because the MinGW functions mblen() and mbtowc()
do not work.
+ improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
#866989).
+ add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.

by allowing for the possibility that an alias has been repurposed to
a new primary name.
+ fix some strict compiler warnings based on package scripts.
+ further fixes for configure check for working poll (Debian #676461).
+ amend an old fix so that next_char() exits properly for empty files,
e.g., from reading /dev/null (cf: 20080804).
+ modify tic so that it can read from the standard input, or from
a character device. Because tic uses seek's, this requires writing
the data to a temporary file first (prompted by remark by Sven
Joachim) (cf: 20000923).
+ fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits.
+ use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303).

+ 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.
+ add a check in start_color() to limit color-pairs to 256 when
extended colors are not supported (patch by David Benjamin).
+ modify setcchar to omit no-longer-needed OR'ing of color pair in
the SetAttr() macro (patch by David Benjamin).
+ add kich1 to sun terminfo entry (Yuri Pankov)
+ use bold rather than reverse for smso in sun-color terminfo entry
(Yuri Pankov).
+ improve generation of termcap using tic/infocmp -C option, e.g.,
to correspond with 4.2BSD (prompted by discussion with Yuri Pankov
regarding Schilling's test program):
+ translate %02 and %03 to %2 and %3 respectively.
+ suppress string capabilities which use %s, not supported by tgoto
+ use \040 rather than \s
+ expand null characters as \200 rather than \0

+ 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 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.

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.
+ modify nc_tparm.h, adding guards against repeated inclusion, and
allowing TPARM_ARG to be overridden.
+ fix some strict compiler warnings in ncurses library.
+ suppress ncv in screen entry, allowing underline (patch by Alejandro
R Sedeno).
+ also suppress ncv in konsole-base -TD
+ fixes in wins_nwstr() and related functions to ensure that special
characters, i.e., control characters are handled properly with the
wide-character configuration.
+ correct a comparison in wins_nwstr() (Redhat #661506).
+ correct help-messages in some of the test-programs, which still
referred to quitting with 'q'.
+ modify nsterm, xnuppc and tek4115 to make sgr/sgr0 consistent -TD
+ add check in terminfo source-reader to provide more informative
message when someone attempts to run tic on a compiled terminal
description (prompted by Debian #593920).
+ note in infotocap and captoinfo manpages that they read terminal
descriptions from text-files (Debian #593920).
+ improve acsc string for vt52, show arrow keys (patch by Benjamin
Sittler).
+ 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
+ correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for begy/begx values
(patch by David Benjamin).
+ fix most compiler warnings from clang.
+ amend build-fix for OpenSolaris, to ensure that a system header is
included in curses.h before testing feature symbols, since they
may be defined by that route.
+ add configure check for exctags vs ctags, to work around pkgsrc.
+ simplify logic in _nc_get_screensize() to make it easier to see how
environment variables may override system- and terminfo-values
(prompted by discussion with Igor Bujna).
+ 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.
+ 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).
+ quiet some pedantic gcc warnings.
+ modify _nc_wgetch() to check for a -1 in the fifo, e.g., after a
SIGWINCH, and discard that value, to avoid confusing application
(patch by Eygene Ryabinkin, FreeBSD bin/136223).
+ supply a null-terminator to buffer in _nc_viswibuf().
+ fix a sign-extension bug in unget_wch() (report by Mike Gran).
+ minor fixes to error-returns in default function for tputs, as well
as in lib_screen.c
+ add WACS_xxx definitions to wide-character configuration for thick-
and double-lines (discussion with Slava Zanko).

+ similar change for dg+ccc and dgunix+ccc
+ add some test programs (and make these use the same special keys
by sharing linedata.h functions):
test/test_addstr.c
test/test_addwstr.c
test/test_addchstr.c
test/test_add_wchstr.c
+ correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when
inserting wide characters, since the wins_wch() function that it used
did not update the cursor position (report by Ciprian Craciun).
+ 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.
+ remove wide-character checks from unctrl() (patch by Clemens Ladisch).

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).
+ add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
+ add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
+ modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
etc. This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
Werner Fink).
+ add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
+ document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted
by comments by Samuel Thibault).

+ use NCURSES_MOUSE_MASK() in definition of BUTTON_RELEASE(), etc., to
make those work properly with the "--enable-ext-mouse" configuration
(cf: 20050205).
+ improve documentation of build-cc options in INSTALL.
+ work-around a bug in gcc 4.2.4 on AIX, which does not pass the
-static/-dynamic flags properly to linker, causing test/bs to
not link.
+ finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the
window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr(). That
allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with
some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a
window which is being used in a wgetch().
+ simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
+ modify configure option --with-hashed-db to accept a parameter which
is the install-prefix of a given Berkeley Database (prompted by
pierre4d2 comments).
+ rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb(), making it work on Solaris. This is
used in the form library to determine the length of the buffer needed
by field_buffer (report by Alfred Fung).
+ remove unneeded window-parameter from C++ binding for wresize (report
by Chris Lee).
+ add "widec" row to _tracedump() output to help diagnose remaining
problems with multi-column characters.
+ partial fix for refresh of window on top of multi-column characters
which are partly overwritten (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
+ ignore A_CHARTEXT bits in vidattr() and vid_attr(), in case
multi-column extension bits are passed there.
+ add setlocale() call to demo_panels.c, needed for wide-characters.
+ add some output flags to _nc_trace_ttymode to help diagnose a bug
report by Larry Virden, i.e., ONLCR, OCRNL, ONOCR and ONLRET,
+ corrected xterm+pcf2 terminfo modifiers for F1-F4, to match xterm
#226 -TD
+ split-out key_name() from MKkeyname.awk since it now depends upon
wunctrl() which is not in libtinfo (report by Rong-En Fan).
+ add test/key_name.c
+ add stdscr cases to test/inchs.c and test_inch_wide.c
+ update test/configure
+ correct formatting of DEL (0x7f) in _nc_vischar().
+ null-terminate result of wunctrl().
+ add null-pointer check in key_name() (report by Andreas Krennmair,
cf: 20020901).
+ add 'O' (wide-character panel test) in ncurses.c to demonstrate a
problem reported by Sadrul H Chowdhury with repainting parts of
a fullwidth cell.
+ modify slk_init() so that if there are preceding calls to
ripoffline(), those affect the available lines for soft-keys (adapted
from patch by Clive Nicolson).
+ document some portability issues in man/curs_getyx.3x
+ add test/inchs.c, test_inch_wide.c, to test win_wchnstr().
+ remove libdl from library list for termlib (report by Miroslav
Lichvar).
+ fix configure.in to allow --without-progs --with-termlib (patch by
Miroslav Lichvar).
+ modify win_wchnstr() to ensure that only a base cell is returned
for each multi-column character (prompted by report by Wei Kong
regarding change in mvwin_wch() cf: 20041023).
+ modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
Ricardo Cantu).
+ improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
+ ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
+ add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
+ drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
no longer relies on it.
+ disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
--enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
+ remove tack from ncurses tree.
