+ regenerate ".map" files, using step overlooked in 20141213 to use
the same patch-dates across each file to match ncurses.map (report by
Sven Joachim).
+ updated Ada95/configure with macro changes from 20141213
+ tie configure options --with-abi-version and --with-versioned-syms
together, so that ABI 6 libraries have distinct symbol versions from
the ABI 5 libraries.
+ replace obsolete/nonworking link to man2html with current one,
regenerate html-manpages.
+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to add -I option for include-directory
when using both --prefix and --disable-overwrite (report by Misty
De Meo).
+ add configure option --with-pc-suffix to allow minor renaming of
".pc" files and the corresponding library. Use this in the test
package for ncurses6.
+ modify configure script so that if pkg-config is not installed, it
is still possible to install ".pc" files (report by Misty De Meo).
+ updated ".sym" files, removing symbols which are marked as "local"
in the corresponding ".map" files.
+ updated ".map" files to reflect move of comp_captab and comp_hash
from tic-library to tinfo-library in 20090711 (report by Sven
Joachim).
+ updated ".map" files so that each symbol that may be shared across
the different library configurations has the same label. Some
review is needed to ensure these are really compatible.
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to work around change in development version of
gcc introduced here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-06/msg02185.htmlhttps://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-07/msg00236.html
(reports by Marcus Shawcroft, Maohui Lei).
+ improved configure macro CF_SUBDIR_PATH, from lynx changes.
+ improved ".map" files by generating them with a script that builds
ncurses with several related configurations and merges the results.
A further refinement is planned, to make the tic- and tinfo-library
symbols use the same versions across each of the four configurations
which are represented (reports by Sven Joachim, Werner Fink).
+ improve description of limits for color values and color pairs in
curs_color.3x (prompted by patch by Tim van der Molen).
+ add VERSION file, using first field in that to record the ABI version
used for configure --with-libtool --disable-libtool-version
+ add configure options for applying the ".map" and ".sym" files to
the ncurses, form, menu and panel libraries.
+ add ".map" and ".sym" files to show exported symbols, e.g., for
symbol-versioning.
+ reviewed terminology 0.6.1, add function key definitions. None of
the vt100-compatibility issues were improved -TD
+ improve infocmp conversion of extended capabilities to termcap by
correcting the limit check against parametrized[], as well as filling
in a check if the string happens to have parameters, e.g., "xm"
in recent changes.

(report by Mike Gran).
+ add experimental support for xterm's 1005 mouse mode, to use in a
demonstration of its limitations.
+ add experimental support for "%u" format to terminfo.
+ modify test/ncurses.c to also show position reports in 'a' test.
+ minor formatting fixes to _nc_trace_mmask_t, make this function
exported to help with debugging mouse changes.
+ improve behavior of wheel-mice for xterm protocol, noting that there
are only button-presses for buttons "4" and "5", so there is no need
to wait to combine events into double-clicks (report/analysis by
Greg Field).
+ provide examples xterm-1005 and xterm-1006 terminfo entries -TD
+ implement decoder for xterm SGR 1006 mouse mode.
+ implement curs_set in win_driver.c
+ implement flash in win_driver.c
+ fix an infinite loop in win_driver.c if the command-window loses
focus.
+ improve the non-buffered mode, i.e., NCURSES_CONSOLE2, of
win_driver.c by temporarily changing the buffer-size to match the
window-size to eliminate the scrollback. Also enforce a minimum
screen-size of 24x80 in the non-buffered mode.
+ modify generated misc/Makefile to suppress install.data from the
dependencies if the --disable-db-install option is used, compensating
for the top-level makefile changes used to add ncurses*-config in the
20140920 changes (report by Steven Honeyman).
+ add ncurses*-config to bin-directory of sample package-scripts.
+ add check to ensure that getopt is available; this is a problem in
some older cross-compiler environments.
+ expanded on the description of --disable-overwrite in INSTALL
(prompted by reports by Joakim Tjernlund, Thomas Klausner).
See Gentoo #522586 and NetBSD #49200 for examples.
which relates to the clarified guidelines.
+ remove special logic from CF_INCLUDE_DIRS which adds the directory
for the --includedir from the build (report by Joakim Tjernlund).
+ add case for Unixware to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, from lynx changes.
+ update config.sub from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git

it to put the test-strings in subwindows (cf: 20140705).
+ merge redundant SEE-ALSO sections in form and menu manpages.
+ modify declarations for user-data pointers in C++ binding to use
reinterpret_cast to facilitate converting typed pointers to void*
in user's application (patch by Adam Jiang).

+ add note regarding cause and effect for TERM in ncurses manpage,
having noted clueless verbiage in Terminal.app's "help" file
which reverses cause/effect.

have resolved type-mismatches using casts (cf: 970412).
+ fixes for win_driver.c:
+ handle repainting on endwin/refresh combination.
+ implement beep().
+ minor cleanup.
+ minor portability fixes for MinGW:

+ fix most compiler warnings for Cygwin ncurses-examples.
+ restore "redundant" -I options in test/Makefile.in, since they are
typically needed when building the derived ncurses-examples package
(cf: 20140726).
+ eliminate some redundant -I options used for building libraries, and
ensure that ${srcdir} is added to the include-options (prompted by
discussion with Paul Gilmartin).
+ modify configure script to work with Minix3.2
+ add form library extension O_DYNAMIC_JUSTIFY option which can be
used to override the different treatment of justification for static
versus dynamic fields (adapted from patch by Leon Winter).
+ add a null pointer check in test/edit_field.c (report/analysis by
Leon Winter, cf: 20130608).
+ make workarounds for compiling test-programs with NetBSD curses.
+ improve configure macro CF_ADD_LIBS, to eliminate repeated -l/-L
options, from xterm changes.

NCURSES_CONSOLE2 is set (cf: 20140503).
+ reorganize b/B menu items in ncurses.c, putting the test-strings into
subwindows. This is needed for a planned change to use Unicode
fullwidth characters in the test-screens.
+ correct update to form status for _NEWTOP, broken by fixes for
compiler warnings (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20120616).
+ change shared-library suffix for AIX 5 and 6 to ".so", avoiding
conflict with the static library (report by Ben Lentz).
+ document RPATH_LIST in INSTALLATION file, as part of workarounds for
upgrading an ncurses library using the "--with-shared" option.
+ modify test/ncurses.c c/C tests to cycle through subsets of the
total number of colors, to better illustrate 8/16/88/256-colors by
providing directly comparable screens.
+ add test/dots_curses.c, for comparison with the low-level examples.
+ fix dereference before null check found by Coverity in tic.c
(cf: 20140524).

+ add dim capability to nsterm+7 -TD
+ cancel dim capability for iterm -TD
+ add dim, invis capabilities to vte-2012 -TD
+ add sitm/ritm to konsole-base and mlterm3 -TD
> fix regression in screen terminfo entries (reports by Christian
Ebert, Gabriele Balducci) -TD
+ revert the change to screen; see notes for why this did not work -TD
+ cancel sitm/ritm for entries which extend "screen", to work around
screen's hardcoded behavior for SGR 3 -TD
+ separate masking for sgr in vidputs from sitm/ritm, which do not
overlap with sgr functionality.

terminfo: adm21, aj510, alto-h19, att605-pc, x820 -TD
+ correct syntax for padding in some entries: dg211, h19 -TD
+ correct ti924-8 which had confused padding versus octal escapes -TD
+ correct padding in sbi entry -TD
+ fix an old bug in the termcap emulation; "%i" was ignored in tparm()
because the parameters to be incremented were already on the internal
stack (report by Corinna Vinschen).
+ modify tic's "-c" option to take into account the "-C" option to
activate additional checks which compare the results from running
tparm() on the terminfo expressions versus the translated termcap
expressions.
+ modify tic to allow it to read from FIFOs (report by Matthieu Fronton,
cf: 20120324).
> patches by Nicolas Boulenguez:
+ explicit dereferences to suppress some style warnings.
+ when c_varargs_to_ada.c includes its header, use double quotes
instead of <>.
+ samples/ncurses2-util.adb: removed unused with clause. The warning
was removed by an obsolete pragma.
+ replaced Unreferenced pragmas with Warnings (Off). The latter,
available with older GNATs, needs no configure test. This also
replaces 3 untested Unreferenced pragmas.
+ simplified To_C usage in trace handling. Using two parameters allows
some basic formatting, and avoids a warning about security with some
compiler flags.
+ for generated Ada sources, replace many snippets with one pure
package.
+ removed C_Chtype and its conversions.
+ removed C_AttrType and its conversions.
+ removed conversions between int, Item_Option_Set, Menu_Option_Set.
+ removed int, Field_Option_Set, Item_Option_Set conversions.
+ removed C_TraceType, Attribute_Option_Set conversions.
+ replaced C.int with direct use of Eti_Error, now enumerated. As it
was used in a case statement, values were tested by the Ada compiler
to be consecutive anyway.
+ src/Makefile.in: remove duplicate stanza
+ only consider using a project for shared libraries.
+ style. Silent gnat-4.9 warning about misplaced "then".
+ generate shared library project to honor ADAFLAGS, LDFLAGS.

+ workaround for ${MAKEFLAGS} configure check versus GNU make 4.0,
which introduces more than one gratuitous incompatibility.
+ add vt520ansi terminfo entry (patch by Mike Gran)
+ 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).
+ add --disable-lib-suffixes option (adapted from patch by Juergen
Pfeifer).
+ merge some changes from Juergen Pfeifer's work with MSYS2, to
simplify later merging:
+ use NC_ISATTY() macro for isatty() in library
+ add _nc_mingw_isatty() and related functions to windows-driver
+ rename terminal driver entrypoints to simplify grep's
+ remove a check in the sp-funcs flavor of newterm() which allowed only
the first call to newterm() to succeed (report by Thomas Beierlein,
cf: 20090927).
+ 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.
+ improve initialization for MinGW port (patch by Juergen Pfeifer):
+ enforce Windows-style path-separator if cross-compiling,
+ 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.
+ add check in tic for mismatch between ccc and initp/initc
+ cancel ccc in putty-256color and konsole-256color for consistency
with the cancelled initc capability (patch by Sven Zuhlsdorf).
+ add xterm+256setaf building block for various terminals which only
get the 256-color feature half-implemented -TD
+ updated "st" entry (leaving the 0.1.1 version as "simpleterm") to
0.4.1 -TD
+ use types from <stdint.h> in sample build-scripts for chtype, etc.
+ modify configure script and curses.h.in to allow the types specified
using --with-chtype and related options to be defined in <stdint.h>
+ add terminology entry -TD
+ add mlterm3 entry, use that as "mlterm" -TD
+ inherit mlterm-256color from mlterm -TD
+ modify _nc_New_TopRow_and_CurrentItem() to ensure that the menu's
top-row is adjusted as needed to ensure that the current item is
on the screen (patch by Johann Klammer).
+ add wgetdelay() to retrieve _delay member of WINDOW if it happens to
be opaque, e.g., in the pthread configuration (prompted by patch by
Soren Brinkmann).
+ modify ifdef in read_entry.c to handle the case where
NCURSES_USE_DATABASE is not defined (patch by Xin Li).

+ updated notes for wsvt25 based on tack and vttest -TD
+ add teken entry to show actual properties of FreeBSD's "xterm"
console -TD
+ 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).
+ remove unnecessary ifdef's in Ada95/gen/gen.c, which reportedly do
not work as is with gcc 4.8 due to fixes using chtype cast made for
new compiler warnings by gcc 4.8 in 20130824 (Debian #735753, patch
by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ modify configure-script/ifdef's to allow OLD_TTY feature to be
suppressed if the type of ospeed is configured using the option
--with-ospeed to not be a short. By default, it is a short for
termcap-compatibility (adapted from suggestion by Christian
Weisgerber).
+ correct a typo in _nc_baudrate() (patch by Christian Weisgerber,
cf: 20061230).
+ fix a few -Wlogical-op warnings.
+ updated llib-l* files.
+ 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,
and adding checks for -Wignored-qualifiers, -Wlogical-op and

reentrant options (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, cf: 20090530).
+ modify release/version combinations in test build-scripts to make
them more consistent with other packages.
+ add nc_mingw.h to installed headers for MinGW port; needed for
compiling ncurses-examples.

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.

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).
+ modify CF_RPATH_HACK configure macro to not rely upon "-u" option
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).
