+ 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

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.

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).
+ some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
works for C/C++ parts).
+ improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
+ fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
+ fix build for --disable-sigwinch
+ add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
"linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
+ reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
Miroslav Lichvar).
+ fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+ use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.
+ discard internal symbol _nc_slk_format (unused since 20080112).
+ move call of slk_paint_info() from _nc_slk_initialize() to
slk_intern_refresh(), improving initialization.
+ fix shared-library rules for cygwin with tic- and tinfo-libraries.
+ fix a memory leak when failure to connect to GPM.
+ correct check for notimeout() in wgetch() (report on linux.redhat
newsgroup by FurtiveBertie).
+ add an example warning-suppression file for valgrind,
misc/ncurses.supp (based on example from Reuben Thomas)
+ corrected gcc options for building shared libraries on IRIX64.
+ add configure check for awk programs unable to handle big-strings,
use that to improve the default for --enable-big-strings option.
+ makefile-fixes for --enable-weak-symbols (report by Frederic L W
Meunier).
+ update test/configure script.
+ adapt ifdef's from library to make test/view.c build when mbrtowc()
is unavailable, e.g., with HPUX 10.20.
+ add configure check for wcsrtombs, mbsrtowcs, which are used in
test/ncurses.c, and use wcstombs, mbstowcs instead if available,
fixing build of ncursew for HPUX 11.00
+ fixes to make Ada95 demo_panels() example work.
+ modify Ada95 'rain' test program to accept keyboard commands like the
C-version.
+ modify BeOS-specific ifdef's to build on Haiku (patch by Scott
Mccreary).
+ add configure-check to see if the std namespace is legal for cerr
and endl, to fix a build issue with Tru64.
+ consistently use NCURSES_BOOL in lib_gen.c
+ filter #line's from lib_gen.c
+ change delimiter in MKlib_gen.sh from '%' to '@', to avoid
substitution by IBM xlc to '#' as part of its extensions to digraphs.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
(caveat - its maintainer removed support for older Linux systems).
+ modify configure check for pthread library to work with OSF/1 5.1,
which uses #define's to associate its header and library.
+ use pthread_mutexattr_init() for initializing pthread_mutexattr_t,
makes threaded code work on HPUX 11.23
+ fix a bug in demo_menus in freeing menus (cf: 20080804).
+ modify configure script for the case where tic library is used (and
possibly renamed) to remove its dependency upon ncurses/ncursew
library (patch by Dr Werner Fink).
+ correct manpage for menu_fore() which gave wrong default for
the attribute used to display a selected entry (report by Mike Gran).
+ add Eterm-256color, Eterm-88color and rxvt-88color (prompted by
Debian #495815) -TD
+ 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).
+ 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.
+ correct some ifdef's needed for the broken-linker configuration.
+ make debugging library's $BAUDRATE feature work for termcap
interface.
+ make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface (prompted
by comment on FreeBSD mailing list).
+ add screen.mlterm terminfo entry -TD
+ improve mlterm and mlterm+pcfkeys terminfo entries -TD
+ regenerated html documentation.
+ expand manpage description of parameters for form_driver() and
menu_driver() (prompted by discussion with Adam Spragg).
+ add null-pointer checks for cur_term in baudrate() and
def_shell_mode(), def_prog_mode()
+ fix some memory leaks in delscreen() and wide acs.
+ modify test/ditto.c to illustrate multi-threaded use_screen().
+ change CC_SHARED_OPTS from -KPIC to -xcode=pic32 for Solaris.
+ add "-shared" option to MK_SHARED_LIB for gcc on Solaris (report
by Poor Yorick).
+ 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 wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
use SP internally.
+ factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
+ add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a
particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
+ add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a
particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
+ add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate
its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN.
+ add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in
preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer.
+ modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
screen which must be updated.
+ wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and
always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm().
+ restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch
Miroslav Lichvar)
+ modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and
--enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from
the ncurses ABI 5.
+ corrected manpage description of setcchar() (discussion with
Emanuele Giaquinta).
+ fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line
(report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
