by Rich Coe).
+ modify misc/Makefile.in to work around OpenBSD "make" which unlike
all other versions of "make" does not recognize continuation lines
of comments.
+ amend the last change to CF_C_ENV_FLAGS to move only the
preprocessor, optimization and warning flags to CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS,
leaving the residue in CC. That happens to work for gcc's various
"model" options, but may require tuning for other compilers (report

progs/reset_cmd.c, as part of changes to merge the reset-feature
with tput.
+ improved manual page description of tset/reset versus window-size.

+ when separating compiler and options in CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS, ensure
that all options are split-off into CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS
+ restore some -I options removed in 20140726 because they appeared
to be redundant. In fact, they are needed for a compiler that

since they are not part of the suggested ABI6.
+ modify ncurses c/C color test-screens to take advantage of wide
screens, reducing the number of lines used for 88- and 256-colors.
+ minor refinement to check versus ncv to ignore two parameters of
SGR 38 and 48 when those come from color-capabilities.
+ amend change for pkg-config which allows build of pc-files when no
valid pkg-config library directory was configured to suppress the
actual install if it is not overridden to a valid directory at
install time (cf: 20150822).
+ modify editing script which generates resulting.map to work with the
clang configuration on recent FreeBSD, which gives an error on an
empty "local" section.
+ fix a spurious "(Part)" message in test/ncurses.c b/B tests due
to incorrect attribute-masking.
+ modify ncurses/Makefile.in to sort keys.list in POSIX locale
(Debian #801864, patch by Esa Peuha).

fallback in case there is no valid terminal on the standard input
(prompted by discussion on bug-ncurses mailing list, Debian #676461).
+ clarify in resizeterm.3x how KEY_RESIZE is pushed onto the input
stream.
+ clarify in curs_getch.3x that the keypad mode affects ability to
read KEY_MOUSE codes, but does not affect KEY_RESIZE.
+ add overlooked build-fix needed with Cygwin for separate Ada95
configure script, cf: 20150606 (report by Nicolas Boulenguez)

see unused letters.
+ update usage message for tic, adding "-0" option.
+ documented differences in ESCDELAY versus AIX's implementation.

+ fix a regression in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, to handle special case of
Cygwin, which uses the broken-linker feature.

activate additional checks which compare the results from running
tparm() on the terminfo expressions versus the translated termcap

> patches by Nicolas Boulenguez:
+ explicit dereferences to suppress some style warnings.
+ when c_varargs_to_ada.c includes its header, use double quotes
instead of <>.
+ samples/ncurses2-util.adb: removed unused with clause. The warning
was removed by an obsolete pragma.
+ replaced Unreferenced pragmas with Warnings (Off). The latter,
available with older GNATs, needs no configure test. This also
replaces 3 untested Unreferenced pragmas.
+ simplified To_C usage in trace handling. Using two parameters allows
some basic formatting, and avoids a warning about security with some
compiler flags.
+ for generated Ada sources, replace many snippets with one pure
package.
+ removed C_Chtype and its conversions.
+ removed C_AttrType and its conversions.
+ removed conversions between int, Item_Option_Set, Menu_Option_Set.
+ removed int, Field_Option_Set, Item_Option_Set conversions.
+ removed C_TraceType, Attribute_Option_Set conversions.

was used in a case statement, values were tested by the Ada compiler
to be consecutive anyway.
+ src/Makefile.in: remove duplicate stanza
+ only consider using a project for shared libraries.
+ style. Silent gnat-4.9 warning about misplaced "then".
+ generate shared library project to honor ADAFLAGS, LDFLAGS.
+ cleanup recently introduced compiler warnings for MingW port.

"#win32console", and
+ move the comparison of driver-names allowing abbreviation, e.g.,
to "#win32con" into the Windows console driver.
+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to omit followup check to determine if
_XOPEN_SOURCE can/should be defined. g++ 4.7.2 built on Solaris 10
has some header breakage due to its own predefinition of this symbol
(report by Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15796).
+ add/use symbol NCURSES_PAIRS_T like NCURSES_COLOR_T, to illustrate
which "short" types are for color pairs and which are color values.

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).
+ remove unnecessary ifdef's in Ada95/gen/gen.c, which reportedly do
not work as is with gcc 4.8 due to fixes using chtype cast made for
new compiler warnings by gcc 4.8 in 20130824 (Debian #735753, patch
by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ 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,

dll symbols (which can be overridden) rather than explicit "../".
+ CF_SHARED_OPTS - modify NetBSD and DragonFly symbols to use ${CC}
rather than ${LD} to improve rpath support.
+ CF_SHARED_OPTS - add a symbol to denote the temporary files that
are created by the macro, to simplify clean-rules.
+ CF_X_ATHENA - trim extra libraries to work with -Wl,--as-needed
+ fix a regression in hashed-database support for NetBSD, which uses
the key-size differently from other implementations (cf: 20121229).
+ add fallback defs for <inttypes.h> and <stdint.h> (cf: 20120225).
+ add check for size of wchar_t, use that to suppress a chunk of
wcwidth.h in MinGW port.
+ quiet linker warnings for MinGW cross-compile with dll's using the
--enable-auto-import flag.
