+ update release notes
+ minor build-fixes, mostly to test-package scripts
+ modify check for sizeof(wchar_t) to ensure it gives useful result
when cross-compiling.
+ drop assumption in configure script that Cygwin's linker is broken.
+ define NCURSES_BROKEN_LINKER if the broken-linker feature is used,
to simplify configure-checks for ncurses-examples.
+ reassert copyright on ncurses, per discussion in ncurses FAQ:
https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html#relicensed
+ modify comparison in make_hash.c to correct a special case in
collision handling for Caps-hpux11
+ add testing utility report_hashing to check hash-tables used for
terminfo and termcap names.
+ fix a missing prototype for _nc_free_and_exit().
+ update a few comments about tack 1.07
+ use an awk script to split too-long pathnames used in Ada95 sample
programs for explain.txt
+ ignore the hex/b64 $TERMINFO in toe's listing.
+ correct a status-check in _nc_read_tic_entry() so that if reading
a hex/b64 $TERMINFO, and the $TERM does not match, fall-through to
the compiled-in search list.
+ modify ncurses-examples to quiet const-warnings when building with
PDCurses.
+ modify toe to not exit if unable to read a terminal description,
e.g., if there is a permission problem.
+ minor fix for progs/toe.c, using _nc_free_termtype2.
+ assign 0 to pointer in _nc_tgetent_leak() after freeing it. Also
avoid reusing pointer from previous successful call to tgetent
if the latest call is unsuccessful (patch by Michael Schroeder,
OpenSuSE #1070450).
+ minor fix for test/tracemunch, initialize $awaiting variable.
+ modify several test programs to use new popup_msgs, adapted from
help-screen used in test/edit_field.c
+ drop two symbols obsoleted in 2004: _nc_check_termtype, and
_nc_resolve_uses

+ build-fixes for test/savescreen.c to work with AIX and HPUX.
+ minor fix to configure script, adding a backslash/continuation.
+ extend TERMINAL structure for ABI 6 to store numbers internally as
integers rather than short, by adding new data for this purpose.
+ more fixes for minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
+ 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.
+ modify mvcur() to distinguish between internal use by the ncurses
library, and external callers, preventing it from reading the content
of the screen which is only nonblank when curses calls have updated
it. This makes test/dots_mvcur.c avoid painting colored cells in
the left margin of the display.
+ minor fix to test/dots_mvcur.c
+ move configured symbols USE_DATABASE and USE_TERMCAP to term.h as
NCURSES_USE_DATABASE and NCURSES_USE_TERMCAP to allow consistent
use of these symbols in term_entry.h
+ amend change to toe.c for reading from /dev/zero, to ensure that
there is a buffer for the temporary filename (cf: 20120324).
+ regenerated html manpages.
+ fix typo in terminfo.head (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20130302).
+ updated some autoconf macros:

+ CF_INTEL_COMPILER, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE from luit 2.0-20130217
+ add configure option --with-cxx-shared to permit building
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).

+ extend use_tioctl() to have expected behavior when use_env(FALSE) and
use_tioctl(TRUE) are called.
+ modify ncurses test-program, adding -E and -T options to demonstrate
use_env() versus use_tioctl().
+ fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits.
+ use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303).

+ modify configure script to allow creating dll's for MinGW when
cross-compiling.
+ add --enable-string-hacks option to control whether strlcat and
strlcpy may be used. The same issue applies to OpenBSD's warnings
about snprintf, noting that this function is weakly standardized.
+ add configure checks for strlcat, strlcpy and snprintf, to help
reduce bogus warnings with OpenBSD builds.
+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 to supply consistent intptr_t declaration
(cf:20111231)

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.
+ compiler-warning fixes in panel and progs.
+ modify CF_PKG_CONFIG macro, from changes to tin -TD

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.
+ correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for begy/begx values
(patch by David Benjamin).
+ fix most compiler warnings from clang.
+ amend build-fix for OpenSolaris, to ensure that a system header is
included in curses.h before testing feature symbols, since they
may be defined by that route.
+ 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).

search for the db library (prompted by report by Samson Pierre).
+ several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the
"link_test" builds properly.

soft-keys (report by Katarina Machalkova)
+ add clarification in wclear's manpage noting that the screen will be
cleared even if a subwindow is cleared (prompted by Christer Enfors
question).
+ change test/ncurses.c soft-key tests to work with KEY_RESIZE.
+ modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built
without libtic. The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
that library.
+ add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).

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.
+ add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from
term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency.
+ fix test/mk-test.awk to ignore blank lines.
+ correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav
Lichvar).
in a separate library (suggested by Miroslav Lichvar).
