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).

of OS/2 EMX.
+ modify check for gnat version to allow for year, as used in FreeBSD

+ modify check_existence() in db_iterator.c to simply check if the
path is a directory or file, according to the need. Checking for
directory size also gives no usable result with OS/2 (cf: 20120107).
+ support OS/2 kLIBC (patch by KO Myung-Han).
+ several improvements to test/movewindow.c (prompted by discussion on
Linux Mint forum):
+ modify movement commands to make them continuous
+ rewrote the test for mvderwin
+ rewrote the test for recursive mvwin
+ split-out reusable CF_WITH_NCURSES_ETC macro in test/configure.in
+ updated configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, build-fixes for Mac OS X

(cf: 20111001).
+ modify database iterator to ignore $TERMCAP when it is not an
absolute pathname.
+ add -D option to tic, to show the database locations that it could
use.
+ improve description of database locations in tic manpage.
+ modify the configure script to generate a list of the ".pc" files to
generate, rather than deriving the list from the libraries which have
been built (patch by Mike Frysinger).

ncurses*-config, e.g., in Ada95/configure and test/configure (adapted
from patch by Mike Frysinger).

+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 with gcc 4.2.1, setting _XOPEN_SOURCE to
600 to work around inconsistent ifdef'ing of wcstof between C and
C++ header files.
+ modify capconvert script to accept more than exact match on "xterm",
e.g., the "xterm-*" variants, to exclude from the conversion (patch
by Robert Millan).

_POSIX_SOURCE are defined.
+ fix a typo misc/Makefile.in, used in uninstalling pc-files.
+ modify make_db_path() to allow creating "terminfo.db" in the same
directory as an existing "terminfo" directory. This fixes a case
where switching between hashed/filesystem databases would cause the
new hashed database to be installed in the next best location -
root's home directory.
+ add variable cf_cv_prog_gnat_correct to those passed to
config.status, fixing a problem with Ada95 builds (cf: 20111022).

interdependencies.
+ add configure check to decide when to add _XOPEN_SOURCE define to
compiler options, i.e., for Solaris 10 and later (cf: 20100403).
This is a workaround for gcc 4.6, which fails to build the c++
binding if that symbol is defined by the application, due to
incorrectly combining the corresponding feature test macros
(report by Peter Kruse).
+ correct logic for discarding mouse events, retaining the partial
events used to build up click, double-click, etc, until needed
(cf: 20110917).
+ fix configure script to avoid creating unused Ada95 makefile when
gnat does not work.
+ cleanup width-related gcc 3.4.3 warnings for 64-bit platform, for the
internal functions of libncurses. The external interface of courses

filesystem.
+ updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
+ modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick
Alcock aka "Nix").
+ build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (ch: 20110917).
+ modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with
the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0"
(cf: 20110716).
+ revert a change to getmouse() which had the undesirable side-effect
of suppressing button-release events (report by Damien Guibouret,
cf: 20100102).
+ add xterm+kbs fragment from xterm #272 -TD

FAQ (prompted by question by Andrius Bentkus).
+ improve manpage install by adjusting the "#include" examples to
show the ncurses-subdirectory used when --disable-overwrite option
is used.
+ install an alias for "curses" to the ncurses manpage, tied to the
--with-curses-h configure option (suggested by Reuben Thomas).

from tic/infocmp.
+ when writing termcap source, ensure that colons in the description
field are translated to a non-delimiter, i.e., "=".
+ add "-0" option to tic/infocmp, to make the termcap/terminfo source
use a single line.
+ add a null-pointer check when handling the $CC variable.
+ modify configure script and makefiles in c++ and progs to allow the
directory used for rpath option to be overridden, e.g., to work
around updates to the variables used by tic during an install.
+ add -K option to tic/infocmp, to provide stricter BSD-compatibility
for termcap output.
+ add _nc_strict_bsd variable in tic library which controls the
"strict" BSD termcap compatibility from 20110723, plus these
features:
+ allow escapes such as "\8" and "\9" when reading termcap
+ disallow "\a", "\e", "\l", "\s" and "\:" escapes when reading
termcap files, passing through "a", "e", etc.
+ expand "\:" as "\072" on output.
+ modify _nc_get_token() to reset the token's string value in case
there is a string-typed token lacking the "=" marker.
+ fix a few memory leaks in _nc_tgetent.
+ fix a few places where reading from a termcap file could refer to
freed memory.
+ add an overflow check when converting terminfo/termcap numeric
values, since terminfo stores those in a short, and they must be
positive.
+ correct internal variables used for translating to termcap "%>"
feature, and translating from termcap %B to terminfo, needed by
tctest (cf: 19991211).
+ amend a minor fix to acsc when loading a termcap file to separate it
from warnings needed for tic (cf: 20040710)
+ modify logic in _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_tic_entry() to allow
a termcap file to be handled via TERMINFO_DIRS.
+ modify _nc_infotocap() to include non-mandatory padding when
translating to termcap.
+ modify _nc_read_termcap_entry(), passing a flag in the case where
getcap is used, to reduce interactive warning messages.
+ add a check in start_color() to limit color-pairs to 256 when
extended colors are not supported (patch by David Benjamin).
+ modify setcchar to omit no-longer-needed OR'ing of color pair in
the SetAttr() macro (patch by David Benjamin).
+ add kich1 to sun terminfo entry (Yuri Pankov)
+ use bold rather than reverse for smso in sun-color terminfo entry
(Yuri Pankov).
+ improve generation of termcap using tic/infocmp -C option, e.g.,
to correspond with 4.2BSD (prompted by discussion with Yuri Pankov
regarding Schilling's test program):

+ suppress string capabilities which use %s, not supported by tgoto
+ use \040 rather than \s
+ expand null characters as \200 rather than \0
+ modify configure script to support shared libraries for DragonFlyBSD.
+ replace an assert() in _nc_Free_Argument() with a regular null
pointer check (report/analysis by Franjo Ivancic).

are not used in the $CC variable.
+ improve support for shared libraries, tested with AIX 5.3, 6.1 and
7.1 with both gcc 4.2.4 and cc.
+ modify configure checks for AIX to include release 7.x

+ add case to CF_SHARED_OPTS for Interix (patch by Markus Duft).
+ used ncurses/link_test to check for behavior when the terminal has
not been initialized and when an application passes null pointers
to the library. Added checks to cover this (prompted by Redhat
#707344).
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to make its main() function call each function
with zero parameters, to help find inconsistent checking for null
pointers, etc.
+ compiler-warning fixes in panel and progs.
+ modify CF_PKG_CONFIG macro, from changes to tin -TD
+ modify CF_CURSES_FUNCS configure macro, used in test directory
configure script:

test-expression to be omitted from executable.
+ force the linker to see a link-time expression of a symbol, to
help work around weak-symbol issues.

script is used automatically via the configured makefiles. However
there are still occasions when it might be used directly by packagers
(report by Gunter Schaffler).
