+ 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.
+ 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).
+ regenerated html documentation.
+ expand manpage description of parameters for form_driver() and
menu_driver() (prompted by discussion with Adam Spragg).
+ add null-pointer checks for cur_term in baudrate() and
def_shell_mode(), def_prog_mode()
+ fix some memory leaks in delscreen() and wide acs.
+ 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.
+ 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.
+ 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.
+ increase size of array in _nc_visbuf2n() to make "tic -v" work
properly in its similar_sgr() function (report/analysis by Peter
Santoro).
+ add --enable-reentrant configure option for ongoing changes to
implement a reentrant version of ncurses:
+ libraries are suffixed with "t"
+ wrap several global variables (curscr, newscr, stdscr, ttytype,
COLORS, COLOR_PAIRS, COLS, ESCDELAY, LINES and TABSIZE) as
functions returning values stored in SCREEN or cur_term.
+ move some initialization (LINES, COLS) from lib_setup.c,
i.e., setupterm() to _nc_setupscreen(), i.e., newterm().
