+ 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.
+ change initialization of "hidden" flag for soft-keys from true to
false, broken in 20090704 merging (Ubuntu #464274).
+ update nsterm entries (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler, prompted by
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).
+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+ remove wide-character checks from unctrl() (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
+ revise wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to eliminate dependency on
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.
+ 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).
+ modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix
overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD
+ modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the
global SP.
+ simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and
each_ripoff().
+ continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate
multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens.
+ fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran).
+ change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm.
+ add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their
window parameters.
+ add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN
pointer.
+ finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.
+ add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen().
+ move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which
are not associated with a particular screen.
+ change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than
stdscr to the callback function.
+ force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this,
e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc
(report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
+ override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on
platforms such as AIX where libtool supports only static libraries
(report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
+ add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX
thread library.
+ fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex
lock/unlock when termlib was built separately.
+ avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often
is implemented to suspend the entire process.
+ remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c
+ remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's
adjust_window() which caused occasional misadjustment of stdscr when
softkeys were used.
+ 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 configure option --with-hashed-db to accept a parameter which
is the install-prefix of a given Berkeley Database (prompted by
pierre4d2 comments).
+ rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb(), making it work on Solaris. This is
used in the form library to determine the length of the buffer needed
by field_buffer (report by Alfred Fung).
+ remove unneeded window-parameter from C++ binding for wresize (report
by Chris Lee).
