+ change some "%define" statements in test-packages for RPMs to
"%global" to work around changes in rpm 4.14 from recent Redhat.
+ fixes for O_INPUT_FIELD extension (patch by Leon Winter).
+ eliminate fixed buffer-size when reading $TERMCAP variable.
+ correct logic in read_entry.c which prevented $TERMCAP variable from
being interpreted as a fallback to terminfo entry (prompted by
Savannah #54556, cf: 20110924).
+ fixes for writing extended color pairs in putwin.
+ modify test/savescreen.c to add test patterns that exercise 88-,
256-, etc., colors.
+ modify configure option --with-build-cc, adding clang, c89 and c99
as possible default values.
+ modify ncurses-examples configure script to use pkg-config for the
extra form/menu/panel libraries, to be more consistent with the
handling of the curses/ncurses library.
+ modify test-packages for mingw to supply "pc" files.
+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to list -lpthread as a private library when
configured to access it via weak symbols.
+ simplify gen-pkgconfig.in, adding -ltinfo without the special linker
checks because some versions of the linker simply hard-code the
behavior.
+ update URLs for ncurses website to use https.
+ modify CF_CURSES_LIBS to fill in $cf_nculib_root in case the
ncurses-examples are built with a system ncurses that lacks the
standard "curses" symbolic link, as done by SuSE. The symbol is
needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and
would be set properly using the options "--with-screen", etc.
+ generate misc/*.pc with "all" rule, as done for "sources" rule
(report by Jeffrey Walton).
+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with Fedora27, adding check for
reset_color_pairs() -- not yet in Fedora's package.
+ consistently add $CFLAGS to $MK_SHARED_LIB symbol in configure
script when the latter happens to use the C compiler rather than
directly using the loader (report by Jeffrey Walton).
+ set ABI for upcoming 6.1 release in "*.map" files. While there are
some remaining internals to apply, no ABI-related changes are
anticipated.
+ add configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
conflict with Redhat packages versus test-packages.
+ correct/simplify ifdef's for cur_term versus broken-linker 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.
+ add rpm-script for testing cross-compile of ncurses-examples.
