+ make warning messages more consistent with the other utilities by
not printing the full pathname of the program.
+ add -V option for consistency with other utilities.
+ fix off-by-one in columns for tabs program when processing an option

as showing how the menu item user-data can be used to pass a callback
function pointer.

+ modify mvcur() to distinguish between internal use by the ncurses
library, and external callers, preventing it from reading the content

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

c++/Makefile.in to accommodate gmake (report by Dmitri Gribenko).

choose glibtool instead. At the same time, chance the autoconf macro
to look for a "tool" rather than a "prog", to help with potential use
in cross-compiling.
+ separate the rpath usage for c++ library from demo program
(Redhat #911540)

by Benjamin Sittler)
+ improve warning message from post-load checking for missing "%?"
operator by tic/infocmp by showing the entry name and capability.

+ 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).

shown in curses.h (Debian #689131).

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.

no corresponding compiled-in value for that. Fill in "no default
value" for that part of the manpage substitution.

an incorrect move (cf: 20001028).
+ improve documentation of the terminfo/termcap search path.

+ 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,

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

available in all Mac OS X configurations (report by Andras Salamon,
cf: 20011208).
+ improve 20021221 workaround for broken acs, handling a case where
that ACS_xxx character is not in the acsc string but there is a known
wide-character which can be used.

+ 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:

ship.

+ 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

+ delete windows on exit from some of the test-programs.

options in $CPPFLAGS (prompted by patch for ncurses/Makefile.in by
Vassili Courzakis).

the RPATH_LIST variable, e.g., "../lib" as used in installing shared
libraries or executables.

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).

+ 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

older Solaris compilers (cf: 20120728).
to help with MinGW port.

initial screen-sizes.
+ fix evaluation of TERMINFO and TERMINFO_DIRS default values as needed
after changes to use --datarootdir (reports by Gabriele Balducci,
Roumen Petrov).

by Brian Bloniarz).
+ update autoconf patch to 2.52.20120811, adding --datarootdir
(prompted by discussion with Erwin Waterlander).

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.
