+ some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
works for C/C++ parts).
+ improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
+ corrected gcc options for building shared libraries on IRIX64.
+ add configure check for awk programs unable to handle big-strings,
use that to improve the default for --enable-big-strings option.
+ makefile-fixes for --enable-weak-symbols (report by Frederic L W
Meunier).
+ update test/configure script.
+ adapt ifdef's from library to make test/view.c build when mbrtowc()
is unavailable, e.g., with HPUX 10.20.
+ add configure check for wcsrtombs, mbsrtowcs, which are used in
test/ncurses.c, and use wcstombs, mbstowcs instead if available,
fixing build of ncursew for HPUX 11.00
+ 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.
+ add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen().
+ move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which
are not associated with a particular screen.
+ change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than
stdscr to the callback function.
+ force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this,
e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc
(report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
+ override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on
platforms such as AIX where libtool supports only static libraries
(report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
+ add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX
thread library.
+ fill in extended-color pair two more places in wbkgrndset() and
waddch_nosync() (prompted by Sedeno's patch).
+ fill in extended-color pair in _nc_build_wch() to make colors work
for wide-characters using extended-colors (patch by Alejandro R
Sedeno).
+ add x/X toggles to ncurses.c C color test to test/demo
wide-characters with extended-colors.
+ add a/A toggles to ncurses.c c/C color tests.
+ modify test/ditto.c to use use_screen().
+ finish modifying test/rain.c to demonstrate threads.
+ fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex
lock/unlock when termlib was built separately.
+ avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often
is implemented to suspend the entire process.
+ update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for
comparisons. This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open curses
that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping. None of the Unix-branded
implementations do this, as noted in manpage (cf: 20040228).
+ modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same
for both narrow/wide models. It had been set only for wide model,
but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model.
+ improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by
using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append
further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A
Chernov).
+ modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint().
If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
sequence.
+ improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE
handling). Now it hangs in napms(), no matter whether nanosleep()
or poll() or select() are used on Linux.
+ add "widec" row to _tracedump() output to help diagnose remaining
problems with multi-column characters.
+ partial fix for refresh of window on top of multi-column characters
which are partly overwritten (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
+ ignore A_CHARTEXT bits in vidattr() and vid_attr(), in case
multi-column extension bits are passed there.
+ add setlocale() call to demo_panels.c, needed for wide-characters.
+ add some output flags to _nc_trace_ttymode to help diagnose a bug
report by Larry Virden, i.e., ONLCR, OCRNL, ONOCR and ONLRET,
+ add test/key_name.c
+ add stdscr cases to test/inchs.c and test_inch_wide.c
+ update test/configure
+ correct formatting of DEL (0x7f) in _nc_vischar().
+ null-terminate result of wunctrl().
+ add null-pointer check in key_name() (report by Andreas Krennmair,
cf: 20020901).
+ modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
Ricardo Cantu).
+ improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
+ ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
+ add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
+ drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
no longer relies on it.
+ disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
--enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
+ remove tack from ncurses tree.
