+ minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation
regarding mapping of \0 to \200
+ minor improvement to _nc_copy_termtype(), using memcpy to replace
loops.
+ fix no-leaks checking in test/demo_termcap.c to account for multiple
calls to setupterm().
+ modified the libgpm change to show previous load as a problem in the
debug-trace.
> merge some patches from OpenSUSE rpm (Werner Fink):
+ ncurses-5.7-printw.dif, fixes for varargs handling in lib_printw.c
+ ncurses-5.7-gpm.dif, do not dlopen libgpm if already loaded by
runtime linker
+ ncurses-5.6-fallback.dif, do not free arrays and strings from static
fallback entries
+ 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
+ correct CF_ETIP_DEFINES configure macro, making it exit properly on
the first success (patch by Pierre Labastie).
+ improve configure macro CF_MKSTEMP by moving existence-check for
mkstemp out of the AC_TRY_RUN, to help with cross-compiles.
+ improve configure macro CF_FUNC_POLL from luit changes to detect
broken implementations, e.g., with Mac OS X.
+ add configure option --with-tparm-arg
+ build-fix for MinGW cross-compiling, so that make_hash does not
depend on TTY definition (cf: 20111008).

+ amend fix intended to separate fixups for acsc to allow "tic -cv" to
give verbose warnings (cf: 20110730).
+ modify misc/gen-edit.sh to make the location of the tabset directory
consistent with misc/Makefile.in, i.., using ${datadir}/tabset
(Debian #653435, patch by Sven Joachim).
+ add --with-lib-prefix option to allow configuring for old/new flavors
of OS/2 EMX.
+ modify check for gnat version to allow for year, as used in FreeBSD
port.
+ modify check_existence() in db_iterator.c to simply check if the
path is a directory or file, according to the need. Checking for
directory size also gives no usable result with OS/2 (cf: 20120107).
+ support OS/2 kLIBC (patch by KO Myung-Han).
+ several improvements to test/movewindow.c (prompted by discussion on
Linux Mint forum):
+ modify movement commands to make them continuous
+ rewrote the test for mvderwin
+ rewrote the test for recursive mvwin
+ split-out reusable CF_WITH_NCURSES_ETC macro in test/configure.in
+ updated configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, build-fixes for Mac OS X
and OpenBSD.
+ regenerated html manpages.
+ various improvments for MinGW (Juergen Pfeifer):
+ various improvments for MinGW (patch by Juergen Pfeifer):
+ modify stat() calls to ignore the st_size member
+ drop mk-dlls.sh script.
+ change recommended regular expression library.
+ modify rain.c to allow for threaded configuraton.
+ modify tset.c to allow for case when size-change logic is not used.
+ modify toe's report when -a and -s options are combined, to add
a column showing which entries belong to a given database.
+ add -s option to toe, to sort its output.
+ modify progs/toe.c, simplifying use of db-iterator results to use
caching improvements from 20111001 and 20111126.
+ correct generation of pc-files when ticlib or termlib options are
given to rename the corresponding tic- or tinfo-libraries (report
by Sven Joachim).
+ document a portability issue with tput, i.e., that scripts which work
with ncurses may fail in other implementations that do no parameter
analysis.
+ add putty-sco entry -TD
+ 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*.
+ modify configure script to check if thread library provides
pthread_mutexattr_settype(), e.g., not provided by Solaris 2.6
+ modify configure script to suppress check to define _XOPEN_SOURCE
for IRIX64, since its header files have a conflict versus
_SGI_SOURCE.
+ modify configure script to add ".pc" files for tic- and
tinfo-libraries, which were omitted in recent change (cf: 20111126).
+ fix inconsistent checks on $PKG_CONFIG variable in configure script.
+ modify configure-check for etip.h dependencies, supplying a temporary
copy of ncurses_dll.h since it is a generated file (prompted by
Debian #646977).
+ modify CF_CPP_PARAM_INIT "main" function to work with current C++.
+ correct database iterator's check for duplicate entries
(cf: 20111001).
+ modify database iterator to ignore $TERMCAP when it is not an
absolute pathname.
+ add -D option to tic, to show the database locations that it could
use.
+ improve description of database locations in tic manpage.
+ modify the configure script to generate a list of the ".pc" files to
generate, rather than deriving the list from the libraries which have
been built (patch by Mike Frysinger).
+ use AC_CHECK_TOOLS in preference to AC_PATH_PROGS when searching for
ncurses*-config, e.g., in Ada95/configure and test/configure (adapted
from patch by Mike Frysinger).
+ remove obsolete/conflicting fallback definition for _POSIX_SOURCE
from curses.priv.h, fixing a regression with IRIX64 and Tru64
(cf: 20110416)
+ modify _nc_tic_dir() to ensure that its return-value is nonnull,
i.e., the database iterator was not initialized. This case is needed
to when tic is translating to termcap, rather than loading the
database (cf: 20111001).
+ add pccon entries for OpenBSD console (Alexei Malinin).
+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 with gcc 4.2.1, setting _XOPEN_SOURCE to
600 to work around inconsistent ifdef'ing of wcstof between C and
C++ header files.
+ modify capconvert script to accept more than exact match on "xterm",
e.g., the "xterm-*" variants, to exclude from the conversion (patch
by Robert Millan).
+ add -lc_r as alternative for -lpthread, allows build of threaded code
in older FreeBSD machines.
+ build-fix for MirBSD, which fails when either _XOPEN_SOURCE or
_POSIX_SOURCE are defined.
+ fix a typo misc/Makefile.in, used in uninstalling pc-files.
+ modify make_db_path() to allow creating "terminfo.db" in the same
directory as an existing "terminfo" directory. This fixes a case
where switching between hashed/filesystem databases would cause the
new hashed database to be installed in the next best location -
root's home directory.
+ add variable cf_cv_prog_gnat_correct to those passed to
config.status, fixing a problem with Ada95 builds (cf: 20111022).
+ change feature test from _XPG5 to _XOPEN_SOURCE in two places, to
accommodate broken implementations for _XPG6.
+ eliminate usage of NULL symbol from etip.h, to reduce header
interdependencies.
+ add configure check to decide when to add _XOPEN_SOURCE define to
compiler options, i.e., for Solaris 10 and later (cf: 20100403).
This is a workaround for gcc 4.6, which fails to build the c++
binding if that symbol is defined by the application, due to
incorrectly combining the corresponding feature test macros
(report by Peter Kruse).
+ 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.
+ improve description of --disable-tic-depends option to make it
clear that it may be useful whether or not the --with-termlib
option is also given (report by Sven Joachim).
+ amend termcap equivalent for set_pglen_inch to use the X/Open
"YI" rather than the obsolete Solaris 2.5 "sL" (cf: 990109).
+ improve manpage for tgetent differences from termcap library.
+ moved static data from db_iterator.c to lib_data.c
+ modify db_iterator.c for memory-leak checking, fix one leak.
+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to use Requires.private for the parts
of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the
other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728).
+ modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force
source-output. That allows the same flag to control the parser for
input and output of termcap source.
+ modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line,
making it consistent with ncurses' parser.
+ restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap
text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924).
+ modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the
conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is
normally following in the source file. Also improved the warning
message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem.
+ improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list.
+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() so that hashed-database is checked before
filesystem.
+ updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
+ modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick
Alcock aka "Nix").
+ build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (ch: 20110917).
+ fix compiler warning for clang 2.9
+ improve merging of mouse events (integrated patch by Damien
Guibouret).
+ correct mask-check used in lib_mouse for wheel mouse buttons 4/5
(patch by Damien Guibouret).
+ modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with
the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0"
(cf: 20110716).
+ revert a change to getmouse() which had the undesirable side-effect
of suppressing button-release events (report by Damien Guibouret,
cf: 20100102).
+ add xterm+kbs fragment from xterm #272 -TD
+ add configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir to provide control over
the actual directory into which pc-files are installed, do not use
the pkg-config environment variables (discussion with Frederic L W
Meunier).
+ add link to mailing-list archive in announce.html.in, as done in
FAQ (prompted by question by Andrius Bentkus).
+ improve manpage install by adjusting the "#include" examples to
show the ncurses-subdirectory used when --disable-overwrite option
is used.
+ install an alias for "curses" to the ncurses manpage, tied to the
--with-curses-h configure option (suggested by Reuben Thomas).
+ propagate error-returns from wresize, i.e., the internal
increase_size and decrease_size functions through resize_term (report
by Tim van der Molen, cf: 20020713).
+ fix typo in tset manpage (patch by Sven Joachim).
+ add a check to ensure that termcap files which might have "^?" do
not use the terminfo interpretation as "\177".
+ minor cleanup of X-terminal emulator section of terminfo.src -TD
+ add terminator entry -TD
+ add simpleterm entry -TD
+ improve wattr_get macros by ensuring that if the window pointer is
null, then the attribute and color values returned will be zero
(cf: 20110528).
+ add substitution for $RPATH_LIST to misc/ncurses-config.in
+ improve performance of tic with hashed-database by caching the
database connection, using atexit() to cleanup.
+ modify treatment of 2-character aliases at the beginning of termcap
entries so they are not counted in use-resolution, since these are
guaranteed to be unique. Also ignore these aliases when reporting
the primary name of the entry (cf: 20040501)
+ double-check gn (generic) flag in terminal descriptions to
accommodate old/buggy termcap databases which misused that feature.
+ minor fixes to _nc_tgetent(), ensure buffer is initialized even on
error-return.
+ improve rpath fix from 20110730 by ensuring that the new $RPATH_LIST
variable is defined in the makefiles which use it.
+ build-fix for DragonFlyBSD's pkgsrc in test/configure script.
+ build-fixes for NetBSD 5.1 with termcap support enabled.
+ corrected k9 in dg460-ansi, add other features based on manuals -TD
+ improve trimming of whitespace at the end of terminfo/termcap output
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.
+ 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
+ modify configure script to support shared libraries for DragonFlyBSD.
+ replace an assert() in _nc_Free_Argument() with a regular null
pointer check (report/analysis by Franjo Ivancic).
+ modify configure --enable-pc-files option to take into account the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
+ add/use xterm+tmux chunk from xterm #271 -TD
+ resync xterm-new entry from xterm #271 -TD
+ add E3 extended capability to linux-basic (Miroslav Lichvar)
+ add linux2.2, linux2.6, linux3.0 entries to give context for E3 -TD
+ add SI/SO change to linux2.6 entry (Debian #515609) -TD
+ fix inconsistent tabset path in pcmw (Todd C. Miller).

are not used in the $CC variable.
+ improve support for shared libraries, tested with AIX 5.3, 6.1 and
7.1 with both gcc 4.2.4 and cc.
+ modify configure checks for AIX to include release 7.x
+ add loader flags/libraries to libtool options so that dynamic loading
works properly, adapted from ncurses-5.7-ldflags-with-libtool.patch
at gentoo prefix repository (patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
+ 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.
+ fixes for MirBSD port:
+ set default prefix to /usr.
+ add support for shared libraries in configure script.
+ use S_ISREG and S_ISDIR consistently, with fallback definitions.
+ add a few more checks based on ncurses/link_test.
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle sp-funcs renaming of NCURSES_OUTC type.
+ add case to CF_SHARED_OPTS for Interix (patch by Markus Duft).

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.
+ 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.
+ update discussion of MKfallback.sh script in INSTALL; normally the
script is used automatically via the configured makefiles. However
there are still occasions when it might be used directly by packagers
(report by Gunter Schaffler).
+ modify misc/ncurses-config.in to omit the "-L" option from the
"--libs" output if the library directory is /usr/lib.
+ change order of tests for curses.h versus ncurses.h headers in the
configure scripts for Ada95 and test-directories, to look for
ncurses.h, from fixes to tin -TD
+ modify ncurses/tinfo/access.c to account for Tandem's root uid
(report by Joachim Schmitz).
+ modify rules in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to ensure that the PIC option
is not used when building a static library (report by Nicolas
Boulenguez):
+ Ada95 build-fix for big-endian architectures such as sparc. This
undoes one of the fixes from 20110319, which added an "Unused" member
to representation clauses, replacing that with pragmas to suppress
warnings about unused bits (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez):
+ add check in test/configure for use_window, use_screen.
+ add configure-checks for getopt's variables, which may be declared
as different types on some Unix systems.
+ add check in test/configure for some legacy curses types of the
function pointer passed to tputs().
+ modify init_pair() to accept -1's for color value after
assume_default_colors() has been called (Debian #337905).
+ modify test/background.c, adding commmand-line options to demonstrate
assume_default_colors() and use_default_colors().
+ modify configure script/source-code to only define _POSIX_SOURCE if
the checks for sigaction and/or termios fail, and if _POSIX_C_SOURCE
and _XOPEN_SOURCE are undefined (report by Valentin Ochs).

+ add "--with-curses-colr" and "--with-curses-5lib" options to the
test/configure script to address testing with very old machines.
+ various build-fixes for the rpm/dpkg scripts.
+ add "--enable-rpath-link" option to Ada95/configure, to allow
packages to suppress the rpath feature which is normally used for
the in-tree build of sample programs.
+ corrected definition of libdir variable in Ada95/src/Makefile.in,
needed for rpm script.
+ add "--with-shared" option to Ada95/configure script, to allow
making the C-language parts of the binding use appropriate compiler
options if building a shared library with gnat.
> portability fixes for Ada95 binding:
+ add configure check to ensure that SIGINT works with gnat. This is
needed for the "rain" sample program. If SIGINT does not work, omit
that sample program.
+ correct typo in check of $PKG_CONFIG variable in Ada95/configure
+ add ncurses_compat.c, to supply functions used in the Ada95 binding
which were added in 5.7 and later.
+ modify sed expression in CF_NCURSES_ADDON to eliminate a dependency
upon GNU sed.
