+ add/use symbol NCURSES_PAIRS_T like NCURSES_COLOR_T, to illustrate
which "short" types are for color pairs and which are color values.
+ fix build for s390x, by correcting field bit offsets in generated
representation clauses when int=32 long=64 and endian=big, or at
least on s390x (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ minor cleanup change to test/form_driver_w.c (patch by Gaute Hope).
+ modify configure-script/ifdef's to allow OLD_TTY feature to be
suppressed if the type of ospeed is configured using the option
--with-ospeed to not be a short. By default, it is a short for
termcap-compatibility (adapted from suggestion by Christian
Weisgerber).
+ correct a typo in _nc_baudrate() (patch by Christian Weisgerber,
cf: 20061230).
+ fix a few -Wlogical-op warnings.
+ updated llib-l* files.
+ add special case to configure script to move _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
definition from CPPFLAGS to CFLAGS if it happens to be needed for
Solaris, because g++ errors with that definition (report by
Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15268).
+ correct logic in infocmp's -i option which was intended to ignore
strings which correspond to function-keys as candidates for piecing
together initialization- or reset-strings. The problem dates to
1.9.7a, but was overlooked until changes in -Wlogical-op warnings for
gcc 4.8 (report by David Binderman).
+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, adding
checks for -Wextra, -Wignored-qualifiers and -Wlogical-op
+ updated CF_GCC_WARNINGS to documented options for gcc 4.9.0, moving
checks for -Wextra and -Wdeclaration-after-statement into the macro,
and adding checks for -Wignored-qualifiers, -Wlogical-op and
-Wvarargs
+ updated CF_CURSES_UNCTRL_H and CF_SHARED_OPTS macros from ongoing
work on cdk.
+ update config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git

+ modified test/demo_forms.c to load data from file.
+ added note to clarify Terminal.app's non-emulation of the various
terminal types listed in the preferences dialog -TD
+ fix regression in error-reporting in lib_setup.c (Debian #711134,
cf: 20121117).
+ build-fix for a case where --enable-broken_linker and
--enable-reentrant options are combined (report by George R Goffe).
+ modify mvcur() to distinguish between internal use by the ncurses
library, and external callers, preventing it from reading the content
of the screen which is only nonblank when curses calls have updated
it. This makes test/dots_mvcur.c avoid painting colored cells in
the left margin of the display.
+ minor fix to test/dots_mvcur.c
+ move configured symbols USE_DATABASE and USE_TERMCAP to term.h as
NCURSES_USE_DATABASE and NCURSES_USE_TERMCAP to allow consistent
use of these symbols in term_entry.h
+ add MinGW to cases where ncurses installs by default into /usr
(prompted by discussion with Daniel Silva Ferreira).
+ add -D option to infocmp's usage-message (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ add a missing 'int' type for main function in configure check for
type of bool variable, to work with clang 3.2 (report by Dmitri
Gribenko).
+ improve configure check for static_cast, to work with clang 3.2
(report by Dmitri Gribenko).
+ re-order rule for demo.o and macros defining header dependencies in
c++/Makefile.in to accommodate gmake (report by Dmitri Gribenko).

test/clip_printw.c, test/demo_menus.c
+ delete unused windows in test/chgat.c, test/clip_printw.c,
test/insdelln.c, test/newdemo.c on error-return.
+ improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
#866989).
+ add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.
+ updated configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_WITH_PATHLIST. The
first corrects pattern used for Mac OS X's customization of gcc.
+ fix an uninitialized variable in -c/-n logic for infocmp changes
(cf: 20120526).
+ corrected fix for building c++ binding with clang 3.0 (report/patch
by Richard Yao, Gentoo #417613, cf: 20110409)
+ correct configure check for working poll, fixing the case where stdin
is redirected, e.g., in rpm/dpkg builds (Debian #676461).
+ add rpm- and dpkg-scripts, to test those build-environments.
The resulting packages are used only for testing.
+ add kdch1 aka "Remove" to vt220 and vt220-8 entries -TD
+ add kdch1, etc., to qvt108 -TD
+ add dl1/il1 to some entries based on dl/il values -TD
+ add dl to simpleterm -TD
+ add consistency-checks in tic for insert-line vs delete-line
controls, and insert/delete-char keys
+ correct no-leaks logic in infocmp when doing comparisons, fixing
duplicate free of entries given via the command-line, and freeing
entries loaded from the last-but-one of files specified on the
command-line.
+ add kdch1 to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (reported by David Lord,
analysis by Martin Husemann).
+ add cnorm/civis to wsvt25 entry from NetBSD CVS (report/analysis by
Onno van der Linden).
+ extend -c and -n options of infocmp to allow comparing more than two
entries.
+ correct check in infocmp for number of terminal names when more than
two are given.
+ correct typo in curs_threads.3x (report by Yanhui Shen on
freebsd-hackers mailing list).
+ fix an inconsistency between tic/infocmp "-x" option; tic omits all
non-standard capabilities, while infocmp was ignoring only the user
definable capabilities.
+ improve special case in tic parsing of description to allow it to be
followed by terminfo capabilities. Previously the description had to
be the last field on an input line to allow tic to distinguish
between termcap and terminfo format while still allowing commas to be
embedded in the description.
+ correct variable name in gen_edit.sh which broke configurability of
the --with-xterm-kbs option.
+ revert 2011-07-16 change to "linux" alias, return to "linux2.2" -TD
+ further amend 20110910 change, providing for configure-script
override of the "linux" terminfo entry to install and changing the
default for that to "linux2.2" (Debian #665959).
+ fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits.
+ use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303).
+ improve a limit-check in infocmp.c (Werner Fink):
+ 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
+ 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*.
+ improve rpath fix from 20110730 by ensuring that the new $RPATH_LIST
variable is defined in the makefiles which use it.

+ build-fixes for NetBSD 5.1 with termcap support enabled.
+ corrected k9 in dg460-ansi, add other features based on manuals -TD

from tic/infocmp.
+ when writing termcap source, ensure that colons in the description
field are translated to a non-delimiter, i.e., "=".
+ add "-0" option to tic/infocmp, to make the termcap/terminfo source
use a single line.
+ add a null-pointer check when handling the $CC variable.
+ modify configure script and makefiles in c++ and progs to allow the
directory used for rpath option to be overridden, e.g., to work
around updates to the variables used by tic during an install.
+ add -K option to tic/infocmp, to provide stricter BSD-compatibility
for termcap output.
+ add _nc_strict_bsd variable in tic library which controls the
"strict" BSD termcap compatibility from 20110723, plus these
features:
+ allow escapes such as "\8" and "\9" when reading termcap
+ disallow "\a", "\e", "\l", "\s" and "\:" escapes when reading
termcap files, passing through "a", "e", etc.
+ expand "\:" as "\072" on output.
+ modify _nc_get_token() to reset the token's string value in case
there is a string-typed token lacking the "=" marker.
+ fix a few memory leaks in _nc_tgetent.
+ fix a few places where reading from a termcap file could refer to
freed memory.
+ add an overflow check when converting terminfo/termcap numeric
values, since terminfo stores those in a short, and they must be
positive.
+ correct internal variables used for translating to termcap "%>"
feature, and translating from termcap %B to terminfo, needed by
tctest (cf: 19991211).
+ amend a minor fix to acsc when loading a termcap file to separate it
from warnings needed for tic (cf: 20040710)
+ modify logic in _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_tic_entry() to allow
a termcap file to be handled via TERMINFO_DIRS.
+ modify _nc_infotocap() to include non-mandatory padding when
translating to termcap.
+ modify _nc_read_termcap_entry(), passing a flag in the case where
getcap is used, to reduce interactive warning messages.
+ compiler-warning fixes in panel and progs.
+ modify CF_PKG_CONFIG macro, from changes to tin -TD
+ modify CF_CURSES_FUNCS configure macro, used in test directory
configure script:
+ work around (non-optimizer) bug in gcc 4.2.1 which caused
test-expression to be omitted from executable.
+ force the linker to see a link-time expression of a symbol, to
help work around weak-symbol issues.
+ 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.
+ correct layout of working window used to extract data in
wide-character configured by set_field_buffer (patch by Rafael
Garrido Fernandez)
+ improve some limit-checks related to filename length in reading and
writing terminfo entries.
+ ensure that filename is always filled in when attempting to read
a terminfo entry, so that infocmp can report the filename (patch
by Nicholas Marriott).
+ 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).
+ fix remaining warnings from Klocwork report.
+ modify _nc_panelhook() data to account for a permanent memory leak.
+ fix memory leaks in test/demo_menus
+ fix most warnings from Klocwork tool (report by Larry Zhou).
+ modify configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to add case for
"dragonfly" from xterm #236 changes.
+ modify configure script --with-hashed-db to let $LIBS override the
search for the db library (prompted by report by Samson Pierre).
+ several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the
"link_test" builds properly.
+ fix for toe command-line options -u/-U to ensure filename is given.
+ fix allocation-size for command-line parsing in infocmp from 20070728
(report by Miroslav Lichvar)
+ improve resizeterm() by moving ripped-off lines, and repainting the
soft-keys (report by Katarina Machalkova)
+ add clarification in wclear's manpage noting that the screen will be
cleared even if a subwindow is cleared (prompted by Christer Enfors
question).
+ change test/ncurses.c soft-key tests to work with KEY_RESIZE.
+ modify the support for filesystems which do not support mixed-case to
generate 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the lower-level of the
filesystem terminfo database (request by Michail Vidiassov).
+ add configure option --enable-mixed-case, to allow overriding the
configure script's check if the filesystem supports mixed-case
filenames.
+ add wresize() to C++ binding (request by Chris Lee).
+ define NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS and NCURSES_EXT_COLORS in curses.h to make
it simpler to tell if the extended functions and/or colors are
declared.
+ amend treatment of infocmp "-r" option to retain the 1023-byte limit
unless "-T" is given (cf: 981017).
+ modify comp_captab.c generation to use big-strings.
+ make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private accessed via
_nc_get_alias_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
library.
+ modify configure script to skip Intel compiler in CF_C_INLINE.
+ make _nc_info_hash_table and _nc_cap_hash_table private accessed via
_nc_get_hash_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
library.
+ make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private, accessed via
_nc_get_alias_table() since they are used only by parse_entry.c
+ make _nc_key_names private since it is used only by lib_keyname.c
+ add --disable-big-strings configure option to control whether
unctrl.c is generated using the big-string optimization - which may
use strings longer than supported by a given compiler.
+ reduce relocation tables for tic, infocmp by changing type of
internal hash tables to short, and make those private symbols.
+ eliminate large fixed arrays from progs/infocmp.c
+ change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line (cf: 970315).
+ add test/test_get_wstr.c
+ add test/test_getstr.c
+ add test/test_inwstr.c
+ add test/test_instr.c
+ 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.
+ add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from
term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency.
+ fix test/mk-test.awk to ignore blank lines.
+ correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav
Lichvar).
in a separate library (suggested by Miroslav Lichvar).
