+ 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).
+ update config.guess, config.sub
+ start documenting interface changes for upcoming 5.8 release.

allowing TPARM_ARG to be overridden.
+ fix some strict compiler warnings in ncurses library.
+ 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).
+ modify initialization check for win32con driver to eliminate need for
special case for TERM "unknown", using terminal database if available
(prompted by discussion with Roumen Petrov).

+ correct cross-compiling configure check for CF_MKSTEMP macro, by
adding a check cache variable set by AC_CHECK_FUNC (report by
Pierre Labastie).
+ simplify include-dependencies of make_hash and make_keys, to reduce
the need for setting BUILD_CPPFLAGS in cross-compiling when the
build- and target-machines differ.
+ repair broken-linker configuration by restoring a definition of SP
variable to curses.priv.h, and adjusting for cases where sp-funcs
are used.

+ drop mkdirs.sh, use "mkdir -p".
+ add configure option --disable-libtool-version, to use the
"-version-number" feature which was added in libtool 1.5 (report by
Peter Haering). The default value for the option uses the newer
feature, which makes libraries generated using libtool compatible
with the standard builds of ncurses.
+ updated test/configure to match configure script macros.
+ fixes for configure script from lynx changes:
+ improve CF_FIND_LINKAGE logic for the case where a function is
found in predefined libraries.
+ revert part of change to CF_HEADER (cf: 20100424)
+ fix some strict compiler warnings in ncurses library.
+ modify configure macro CF_HEADER_PATH to not look for variations in
the predefined include directories.
+ improve configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GCC_WARNINGS to work
with gcc 4.x's c89 alias, which gives warning messages for cases
where older versions would produce an error.
+ improve win_driver.c handling of mouse:
+ discard motion events
+ avoid calling _nc_timed_wait when there is a mouse event
+ handle 4th and "rightmost" buttons.
+ quote substitutions in CF_RPATH_HACK_2 configure macro, needed for
cases where there are embedded blanks in the rpath option.
+ 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.
+ modify install-rule for manpages so that *-config manpages will
install when building with --srcdir (report by Sven Joachim).
+ modify CF_DISABLE_LEAKS configure macro so that the --enable-leaks
option is not the same as --disable-leaks (GenToo #305889).
+ modify #define's for build-compiler to suppress cchar_t symbol from
compile of make_hash and make_keys, improving cross-compilation of
ncursesw (report by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to replace all occurrences of
TPUT in tput.1's manpage (Debian #573597, report/analysis by Anders
Kaseorg).
+ generate manpages for the *-config scripts, adapted from help2man
(suggested by Sven Joachim).
+ use va_copy() in _nc_printf_string() to avoid conflicting use of
va_list value in _nc_printf_length() (report by Wim Lewis).
+ update mrxvt terminfo entry -TD
+ modify win_driver.c to support mouse single-clicks.
+ correct name for termlib in ncurses*-config, e.g., if it is renamed
to provide a single file for ncurses/ncursesw libraries (patch by
Miroslav Lichvar).
+ 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).
+ modify win_driver.c to initialize acs_map for win32 console, so
that line-drawing works.
+ modify win_driver.c to initialize TERMINAL struct so that programs
such as test/lrtest.c and test/ncurses.c which test string
capabilities can run.
+ modify term-driver modules to eliminate forward-reference
declarations.
+ 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).
+ modify mk-1st.awk to allow tinfo library to be built when term-driver
is enabled.
+ add error-check to configure script to ensure that sp-funcs is
enabled if term-driver is, since some internal interfaces rely upon
this.
+ fix case where progs/tput is used while sp-funcs is configure; this
requires save/restore of out-character function from _nc_prescreen
rather than the SCREEN structure (report by Charles Wilson).
+ fix typo in man/curs_trace.3x which caused incorrect symbolic links
+ improved configure macros CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_PROG_LINT.
+ modify use of $CC environment variable which is defined by X/Open
as a curses feature, to ignore it if it is not a single character
(prompted by discussion with Benjamin C W Sittler).
+ add START_TRACE in slk_init
+ fix a regression in _nc_ripoffline which made test/ncurses.c not show
soft-keys, broken in 20090927 merging.

discussion with Fabian Groffen in GenToo #206201).
+ add test/xterm-256color.dat
+ 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).
+ move leak-checking for comp_captab.c into _nc_leaks_tinfo() since
that module since 20090711 is in libtinfo.
+ add configure option --enable-term-driver, to allow compiling with
terminal-driver. That is used in mingw port, and (being somewhat
more complicated) is an experimental alternative to the conventional
termlib internals. Currently, it requires the sp-funcs feature to
be enabled.
+ completed integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer in ncurses
library (some work remains for forms library).
+ 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).
+ build-fix for building outside source-tree (report by Sven Joachim).
+ fix Debian lintian warning for man/tabs.1 by making section number
agree with file-suffix (report by Sven Joachim).

unctrl().
+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+ update llib-lncurses[wt] to use sp-funcs.
+ various code-fixes to build/work with --disable-macros configure
option.
+ add several new files from Juergen Pfeifer which will be used when
integration of "sp-funcs" is complete. This includes a port to
MinGW.
+ fix an infinite recursion when adding a legacy-coding 8-bit value
using insch() (report by Clemens Ladisch).
+ free home-terminfo string in del_curterm() (patch by Dan Weber).
+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+ 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.
+ modify init_pair() to allow caller to create extra color pairs beyond
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).
+ 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.
+ 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)
+ 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).
+ 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
+ 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.
