+ further improve MinGW support for the scenario where there is an
ANSI-escapes handler such as ansicon running in the console window
(patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
+ modify configure script:
+ drop the -no-gcc option from Intel compiler, from lynx changes.
+ extend the --with-hashed-db configure option to simplify building
with different versions of Berkeley database using FreeBSD ports.

+ add a driver-name method to each of the drivers,
+ allow the Windows driver name to match "unknown", ignoring case,
+ lengthen the built-in name for the Windows console driver to
"#win32console", and
+ move the comparison of driver-names allowing abbreviation, e.g.,
to "#win32con" into the Windows console driver.
+ in-progress changes to win_driver.c to implement output without
allocating a console-buffer. This uses a pre-existing environment
variable NCGDB used by Juergen Pfeifer for debugging (prompted by
discussion with Erwin Waterlander regarding Console2, which hangs
when reading in an allocated console-buffer).
+ add -t option to gdc.c, and modify to accept "S" to step through the
scrolling-stages.
+ regenerate NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the broken
html emitted by docbook.
+ 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.
+ fix build for s390x, by correcting field bit offsets in generated
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).
+ 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,

+ fix a few compiler warnings in progs and test.
+ minor fix to package/debian-mingw/rules, do not strip dll's.
+ minor fixes to configure script for empty $prefix, e.g., when doing
cross-compiles to MinGW.
+ add script for building test-packages of binaries cross-compiled to
MinGW using NSIS.
+ some build-fixes for ncurses-examples with NetBSD-6.0 curses, though
it lacks some common functions such as use_env() which is not yet
addressed.
+ build-fix and some compiler warning fixes for ncurses-examples with
OpenBSD 5.3
+ fix a possible null-pointer reference in a trace message from newterm.
+ quiet a few warnings from NetBSD 6.0 namespace pollution by
nonstandard popcount() function in standard strings.h header.
+ ignore g++ 4.2.1 warnings for "-Weffc++" in c++/cursesmain.cc
+ fix a few overlooked places for --enable-string-hacks option.
+ fix typo in curs_attr.3x (patch by Sven Joachim, cf: 20130831).
+ build-fix for --with-shared option for DragonFly and FreeBSD (report
by Rong-En Fan, cf: 20130727).
+ build-fixes for MSYS for two test-programs (patches by Ray Donnelly,
Alexey Pavlov).
+ revert change to two of the dpkg format files, to work with dpkg
before/after Debian #700177.
+ fix gcc -Wconversion warning in wattr_get() macro.
+ add msys and msysdll to known host/configuration types (patch by
Alexey Pavlov).

of sort, improving portability.
+ minor improvements for test-programs from reviewing Solaris port.
+ update config.guess, config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+ modify test/ncurses.c b/B tests to display lines only for the
attributes which a given terminal supports, to make room for an
italics test.
+ completed ncv table in terminfo.tail; it did not list the wide
character codes listed in X/Open Curses issue 7.
+ add A_ITALIC extension (prompted by discussion with Egmont Koblinger).
+ fix some gcc 4.8 -Wconversion warnings.
+ change format of dpkg test-scripts to quilted to work around bug
introduced by Debian #700177.
+ discard cached keyname() values if meta() is changed after a value
was cached using (report by Kurban Mallachiev).
+ minor fixes to the --disable-overwrite logic, to ensure that the
configured $(includedir) is not cancelled by the mingwxx-filesystem
rpm macros.
+ add --disable-db-install configure option, to simplify building
cross-compile support packages.
+ add mingw-ncurses.spec file, for testing cross-compiles.
+ improve configure macros from ongoing work on cdk, dialog, xterm:
+ CF_ADD_LIB_AFTER - fix a problem with -Wl options
+ CF_RPATH_HACK - add missing result-message
+ CF_SHARED_OPTS - modify to use $rel_builddir in cygwin and mingw
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).
+ modify the clear program to take into account the E3 extended
capability to clear the terminal's scrollback buffer (patch by
Miroslav Lichvar, Redhat #815790).

+ remove setupterm call from test/demo_termcap.c
+ build-fix if --disable-ext-funcs configure option is used.
+ modified test/edit_field.c and test/demo_forms.c to move the lengths
into a user-data structure, keeping the original string for later
expansion to free-format input/out demo.
+ modified test/demo_forms.c to load data from file.
+ added note to clarify Terminal.app's non-emulation of the various
terminal types listed in the preferences dialog -TD
+ fix regression in error-reporting in lib_setup.c (Debian #711134,
cf: 20121117).
+ build-fix for a case where --enable-broken_linker and
--enable-reentrant options are combined (report by George R Goffe).
+ modify mvcur() to distinguish between internal use by the ncurses
library, and external callers, preventing it from reading the content
of the screen which is only nonblank when curses calls have updated
it. This makes test/dots_mvcur.c avoid painting colored cells in
the left margin of the display.
+ minor fix to test/dots_mvcur.c
+ move configured symbols USE_DATABASE and USE_TERMCAP to term.h as
NCURSES_USE_DATABASE and NCURSES_USE_TERMCAP to allow consistent
use of these symbols in term_entry.h
+ corrected ifdefs in test/testcurs.c to allow comparison of mouse
interface versus pdcurses (cf: 20130316).
+ add pow() to configure-check for math library, needed since
20121208 for test/hanoi (Debian #708056).
+ regenerated html manpages.
+ update doctype used for html documentation.
+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
+ correct FNKEY() macro in progs/dump_entry.c, allowing kf11-kf63 to
display when infocmp's -R option is used for HP or AIX subsets.
+ fix dead-code issue with test/movewindow.c
+ improve limited-checking in _nc_read_termtype().
+ amend change to toe.c for reading from /dev/zero, to ensure that
there is a buffer for the temporary filename (cf: 20120324).
+ regenerated html manpages.
+ fix typo in terminfo.head (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20130302).
+ updated some autoconf macros:
+ CF_ACVERSION_CHECK, from byacc 1.9 20130304
+ CF_INTEL_COMPILER, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE from luit 2.0-20130217
+ add configure option --with-cxx-shared to permit building
libncurses++ as a shared library when using g++, e.g., the same
limitations as libtool but better integrated with the usual build
configuration (Redhat 911540).
+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to filter out build-path which was unnecessarily
shown in curses.h (Debian #689131).
+ modify test/testcurs.c to work with mouse for ncurses as it does for
pdcurses.
+ modify test/knight.c to work with mouse for pdcurses as it does for
ncurses.
+ modify internal recursion in wgetch() which handles cooked mode to
check if the call to wgetnstr() returned an error. This can happen
when both nocbreak() and nodelay() are set, for instance (report by
Nils Christopher Brause) (cf: 960418).
+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
+ add a check for valid position in ClearToEOS()
+ fix in lib_twait.c when --enable-wgetch-events is used, pointer
use after free.
+ improve a limit-check in make_hash.c
+ fix a memory leak in hashed_db.c
+ modify test/configure script to make it simpler to override names
of curses-related libraries, to help with linking with pdcurses in
mingw environment.
+ if the --with-terminfo-dirs configure option is not used, there is
no corresponding compiled-in value for that. Fill in "no default
value" for that part of the manpage substitution.
+ correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make
an incorrect move (cf: 20001028).
+ improve documentation of the terminfo/termcap search path.
+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
+ fix memory leak in safe_sprintf.c
+ add check for return-value in tty_update.c
+ correct initialization for -s option in test/view.c
+ add check for numeric overflow in lib_instr.c
+ improve error-checking in copywin
+ add advice in infocmp manpage for termcap users (Debian #698469).
+ add "-y" option to test/demo_termcap and test/demo_terminfo to
demonstrate behavior with/without extended capabilities.
+ updated termcap manpage to document legacy termcap behavior for
matching capability names.
+ modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate legacy
applications as well as to improve compatbility with BSD 4.2
termcap implementations (Debian #698299) (cf: 980725).
+ correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts.
+ drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they
are unused in the current driver model.
+ modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses
library.
+ modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage.
+ amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level
putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering.
The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674).
+ add "-s" option to test/view.c to allow it to start in single-step
mode, reducing size of trace files when it is used for debugging
MinGW changes.
+ revert part of 20121222 change to tinfo_driver.c
+ add experimental logic in win_driver.c to improve optimization of
screen updates. This does not yet work with double-width characters,
so it is ifdef'd out for the moment (prompted by report by Erwin
Waterlander regarding screen flicker).
+ fix coverity warnings regarding copying into fixed-size buffers.
+ add throw-declarations in the c++ binding per Coverity warning.
+ minor changes to new-items for consistent reference to bug-report
numbers.
+ fix several warnings from clang 3.1 --analyze, includes correcting
a null-pointer check in _nc_mvcur_resume.
+ correct display of double-width characters with MinGW port (report
by Erwin Waterlander).
+ replace MinGW's wcrtomb(), fixing a problem with _nc_viscbuf
> fixes based on Coverity report:
+ correct coloring in test/bs.c
+ correct check for 8-bit value in _nc_insert_ch().
+ remove dead code in progs/tset.c, test/linedata.h
+ add null-pointer checks in lib_tracemse.c, panel.priv.h, and some
test-programs.
+ modify test/knight.c to show the number of choices possible for
each position in automove option, e.g., to allow user to follow
Warnsdorff's rule to solve the puzzle.
+ modify test/hanoi.c to show the minimum number of moves possible for
the given number of tiles (prompted by patch by Lucas Gioia).
> fixes based on Coverity report:
+ remove a few redundant checks.
+ correct logic in test/bs.c, when randomly placing a specific type of
ship.
+ check return value from remove/unlink in tic.
+ check return value from sscanf in test/ncurses.c
+ fix a null dereference in c++/cursesw.cc
+ fix two instances of uninitialized variables when configuring for the
terminal driver.
+ correct scope of variable used in SetSafeOutcWrapper macro.

used.
+ also replace MinGW's wctomb(), fixing a problem with setcchar().
+ modify test/view.c to load UTF-8 when built with MinGW by using
regular win32 API because the MinGW functions mblen() and mbtowc()
do not work.
+ correct order of color initialization versus display in some of the
test-programs, e.g., test_addstr.c
> fixes based on Coverity report:
+ delete windows on exit from some of the test-programs.
> fixes based on Coverity report:
+ add missing braces around FreeAndNull in two places.
+ various fixes in test/ncurses.c

test/clip_printw.c, test/demo_menus.c
+ delete unused windows in test/chgat.c, test/clip_printw.c,
test/insdelln.c, test/newdemo.c on error-return.
+ realign these related pages:
curs_add_wchstr.3x
curs_addchstr.3x
curs_addstr.3x
curs_addwstr.3x
and fix a long-ago error in curs_addstr.3x which said that a -1
length parameter would only write as much as fit onto one line
(report by Reuben Thomas).
+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_memmove() for memmove()/bcopy().
+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_strdup() for strdup().
+ cancel any debug-rpm in package/ncurses.spec
+ reviewed vte-2012, reverted most of the change since it was incorrect
based on testing with tack -TD
+ un-cancel the initc in vte-256color, since this was implemented
starting with version 0.20 in 2009 -TD
+ improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
#866989).
+ add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.
+ updated configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_WITH_PATHLIST. The
first corrects pattern used for Mac OS X's customization of gcc.
+ improve CF_GCC_VERSION to work around Debian's customization of gcc
--version message.
+ improve configure macros as done in byacc:
+ drop 2.13 compatibility; use 2.52.xxxx version only since EMX port
has used that for a while.
+ add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE's to allow autoheader to run, i.e.,
for experimental use.
+ remove unused configure macros.
+ modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
for LIBS_TO_MAKE variable.
+ modify configure script to show $PATH_SEPARATOR variable.
+ update config.guess, config.sub
+ add a null-pointer check in _nc_flush (cf: 20120825).
+ fix a case in _nc_scroll_optimize() where the _oldnums_list array
might not be allocated.
+ improve comparisons in configure.in for unset shell variables.

if screensize is unchanged. Modify _nc_update_screensize() to push a
KEY_RESIZE if there was a SIGWINCH, even if it does not call
resizeterm(). These changes eliminate the case where a SIGWINCH is
received, but ERR returned from wgetch or wgetnstr because the screen
dimensions did not change (Novell #769788).
+ add --enable-interop to sample package scripts (suggested by Juergen
Pfeifer).
+ update CF_PATH_SYNTAX macro, from mawk changes.
+ modify mk-0th.awk to allow for generating llib-ltic, etc., though
some work is needed on cproto to work with lib_gen.c to update
llib-lncurses.
