47
4820081102 5.7 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
49
5020081025
51	+ add a manpage to discuss memory leaks.
52	+ add support for shared libraries for QNX (other than libtool, which
53	  does not work well on that platform).
54	+ build-fix for QNX C++ binding.
55
5620081018
57	+ build-fixes for OS/2 EMX.
58	+ modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
59	  in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris (report by
60	  Nit Khair).
61	+ modify configure script to assume --without-hashed-db when
62	  --disable-database is used.
63	+ add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating source-files
64	  to force earlier exit if the build environment fails unexpectedly
65	  (prompted by patch by Adrian Bunk).
66	+ change configure script to use CF_UTF8_LIB, improved variant of
67	  CF_LIBUTF8.
68
6920081012
70	+ add teraterm4.59 terminfo entry, use that as primary teraterm entry, rename
71	  original to teraterm2.3 -TD
72	+ update "gnome" terminfo to 2.22.3 -TD
73	+ update "konsole" terminfo to 1.6.6, needs today's fix for tic -TD
74	+ add "aterm" terminfo -TD
75	+ add "linux2.6.26" terminfo -TD
76	+ add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined capabilities,
77	  overlooked til now.
78
7920081011
80	+ update html documentation.
81	+ add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
82	  the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
83	+ correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
84	+ document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
85	+ fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
86	+ add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
87	  tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
88	  20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
89
9020081004
91	+ some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
92	  works for C/C++ parts).
93	+ improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
94	  AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
95
9620080927
97	+ fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
98	  strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
99	+ fix build for --disable-sigwinch
100	+ add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
101	  GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
102	+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
103	  "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
104	  that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
105	+ reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
106	  Miroslav Lichvar).
107	+ fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
108	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
109	+ use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.
110	+ discard internal symbol _nc_slk_format (unused since 20080112).
111	+ move call of slk_paint_info() from _nc_slk_initialize() to
112	  slk_intern_refresh(), improving initialization.
113
11420080925
115	+ fix bug in mouse code for GPM from 20080920 changes (reported in
116	  Debian #500103, also Miroslav Lichvar).
117
11820080920
119	+ fix shared-library rules for cygwin with tic- and tinfo-libraries.
120	+ fix a memory leak when failure to connect to GPM.
121	+ correct check for notimeout() in wgetch() (report on linux.redhat
122	  newsgroup by FurtiveBertie).
123	+ add an example warning-suppression file for valgrind,
124	  misc/ncurses.supp (based on example from Reuben Thomas)
125

127	+ change shared-library configuration for OpenBSD, make rpath work.
128	+ build-fixes for using libutf8, e.g., on OpenBSD 3.7
129
13020080907
131	+ corrected fix for --enable-weak-symbols (report by Frederic L W
132	  Meunier).
133
13420080906
135	+ corrected gcc options for building shared libraries on IRIX64.
136	+ add configure check for awk programs unable to handle big-strings,
137	  use that to improve the default for --enable-big-strings option.
138	+ makefile-fixes for --enable-weak-symbols (report by Frederic L W
139	  Meunier).
140	+ update test/configure script.
141	+ adapt ifdef's from library to make test/view.c build when mbrtowc()
142	  is unavailable, e.g., with HPUX 10.20.
143	+ add configure check for wcsrtombs, mbsrtowcs, which are used in
144	  test/ncurses.c, and use wcstombs, mbstowcs instead if available,
145	  fixing build of ncursew for HPUX 11.00
146
14720080830
148	+ fixes to make Ada95 demo_panels() example work.
149	+ modify Ada95 'rain' test program to accept keyboard commands like the
150	  C-version.
151	+ modify BeOS-specific ifdef's to build on Haiku (patch by Scott
152	  Mccreary).
153	+ add configure-check to see if the std namespace is legal for cerr
154	  and endl, to fix a build issue with Tru64.
155	+ consistently use NCURSES_BOOL in lib_gen.c
156	+ filter #line's from lib_gen.c
157	+ change delimiter in MKlib_gen.sh from '%' to '@', to avoid
158	  substitution by IBM xlc to '#' as part of its extensions to digraphs.
159	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
160		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
161	  (caveat - its maintainer removed support for older Linux systems).
162
16320080823
164	+ modify configure check for pthread library to work with OSF/1 5.1,
165	  which uses #define's to associate its header and library.
166	+ use pthread_mutexattr_init() for initializing pthread_mutexattr_t,
167	  makes threaded code work on HPUX 11.23
168	+ fix a bug in demo_menus in freeing menus (cf: 20080804).
169	+ modify configure script for the case where tic library is used (and
170	  possibly renamed) to remove its dependency upon ncurses/ncursew
171	  library (patch by Dr Werner Fink).
172	+ correct manpage for menu_fore() which gave wrong default for
173	  the attribute used to display a selected entry (report by Mike Gran).
174	+ add Eterm-256color, Eterm-88color and rxvt-88color (prompted by
175	  Debian #495815) -TD
176
17720080816
178	+ add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
179	+ add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
180	+ modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
181	  applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
182	  etc.  This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
183	  Werner Fink).
184	+ add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
185	  using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
186	+ document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted
187	  by comments by Samuel Thibault).
188	+ fix remaining warnings from Klocwork report.
189
19020080804
191	+ modify _nc_panelhook() data to account for a permanent memory leak.
192	+ fix memory leaks in test/demo_menus
193	+ fix most warnings from Klocwork tool (report by Larry Zhou).
194	+ modify configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to add case for
195	  "dragonfly" from xterm #236 changes.
196	+ modify configure script --with-hashed-db to let $LIBS override the
197	  search for the db library (prompted by report by Samson Pierre).
198
19920080726
200	+ build-fixes for gcc 4.3.1 (changes to gnat "warnings", and C inlining
201	  thresholds).
202
20320080713
204	+ build-fix (reports by Christian Ebert, Funda Wang).
205
20620080712
207	+ compiler-warning fixes for Solaris.
208
20920080705
210	+ use NCURSES_MOUSE_MASK() in definition of BUTTON_RELEASE(), etc., to
211	  make those work properly with the "--enable-ext-mouse" configuration
212	  (cf: 20050205).
213	+ improve documentation of build-cc options in INSTALL.
214	+ work-around a bug in gcc 4.2.4 on AIX, which does not pass the
215	  -static/-dynamic flags properly to linker, causing test/bs to
216	  not link.
217
21820080628
219	+ correct some ifdef's needed for the broken-linker configuration.
220	+ make debugging library's $BAUDRATE feature work for termcap
221	  interface.
222	+ make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface (prompted
223	  by comment on FreeBSD mailing list).
224	+ add screen.mlterm terminfo entry -TD
225	+ improve mlterm and mlterm+pcfkeys terminfo entries -TD
226
22720080621
228	+ regenerated html documentation.
229	+ expand manpage description of parameters for form_driver() and
230	  menu_driver() (prompted by discussion with Adam Spragg).
231	+ add null-pointer checks for cur_term in baudrate() and
232	  def_shell_mode(), def_prog_mode()
233	+ fix some memory leaks in delscreen() and wide acs.
234
23520080614
236	+ modify test/ditto.c to illustrate multi-threaded use_screen().
237	+ change CC_SHARED_OPTS from -KPIC to -xcode=pic32 for Solaris.
238	+ add "-shared" option to MK_SHARED_LIB for gcc on Solaris (report
239	  by Poor Yorick).
240
24120080607
242	+ finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the
243	  window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr().  That
244	  allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with
245	  some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a
246	  window which is being used in a wgetch().
247	+ simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
248
24920080531
250	+ modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
251	  parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
252	  use SP internally.
253	+ factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
254	+ add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a
255	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
256	+ add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a
257	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
258	+ add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate
259	  its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN.
260	+ add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in
261	  preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer.
262
26320080524
264	+ modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
265	  screen which must be updated.
266	+ wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and
267	  always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm().
268	+ restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch
269	  Miroslav Lichvar)
270
27120080517
272	+ modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and
273	  --enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from
274	  the ncurses ABI 5.
275	+ corrected manpage description of setcchar() (discussion with
276	  Emanuele Giaquinta).
277	+ fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line
278	  (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
279
28020080503
281	+ modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix
282	  overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD
283	+ modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the
284	  global SP.
285	+ simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and
286	  each_ripoff().
287
28820080426
289	+ continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate
290	  multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens.
291	+ fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran).
292
29320080419
294	+ add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD
295	+ modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from
296	  being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings.
297	+ improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout.
298
29920080412
300	+ change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm.
301	+ add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their
302	  window parameters.
303	+ add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN
304	  pointer.
305	+ finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.
306
30720080405
308	+ begin table in curs_thread.3x manpage describing the scope of data
309	  used by each function (or symbol) for threading analysis.
310	+ add null-pointer checks to setsyx() and getsyx() (prompted by
311	  discussion by Martin v. Lowis and Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on
312	  python-dev2 mailing list).
313
31420080329
315	+ add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen().
316	+ move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which
317	  are not associated with a particular screen.
318	+ change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than
319	  stdscr to the callback function.
320	+ force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this,
321	  e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc
322	  (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
323	+ override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on
324	  platforms such as AIX where libtool may use a different suffix for
325	  the object files than ".o" (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
326	+ add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX
327	  thread library.
328
32920080322
330	+ fill in extended-color pair two more places in wbkgrndset() and
331	  waddch_nosync() (prompted by Sedeno's patch).
332	+ fill in extended-color pair in _nc_build_wch() to make colors work
333	  for wide-characters using extended-colors (patch by Alejandro R
334	  Sedeno).
335	+ add x/X toggles to ncurses.c C color test to test/demo
336	  wide-characters with extended-colors.
337	+ add a/A toggles to ncurses.c c/C color tests.
338	+ modify test/ditto.c to use use_screen().
339	+ finish modifying test/rain.c to demonstrate threads.
340
34120080308
342	+ start modifying test/rain.c for threading demo.
343	+ modify test/ncurses.c to make 'f' test accept the f/F/b/F/</> toggles
344	  that the 'F' accepts.
345	+ modify test/worm.c to show trail in reverse-video when other threads
346	  are working concurrently.
347	+ fix a deadlock from improper nesting of mutexes for windowlist and
348	  window.
349
35020080301
351	+ fixes from 20080223 resolved issue with mutexes; change to use
352	  recursive mutexes to fix memory leak in delwin() as called from
353	  _nc_free_and_exit().
354
35520080223
356	+ fix a size-difference in _nc_globals which caused hanging of mutex
357	  lock/unlock when termlib was built separately.
358
35920080216
360	+ avoid using nanosleep() in threaded configuration since that often
361	  is implemented to suspend the entire process.
362
36320080209
364	+ update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for
365	  comparisons.  This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open curses
366	  that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping.  None of the Unix-branded
367	  implementations do this, as noted in manpage (cf: 20040228).
368
36920080203
370	+ modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same
371	  for both narrow/wide models.  It had been set only for wide model,
372	  but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model.
373	+ improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by
374	  using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append
375	  further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A
376	  Chernov).
377	+ modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint().
378	  If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
379	  sequence.
380
38120080126
382	+ improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE
383	  handling).  Now it hangs in napms(), no matter whether nanosleep()
384	  or poll() or select() are used on Linux.
385
38620080119
387	+ fixes to build with --disable-ext-funcs
388	+ add manpage for use_window and use_screen.
389	+ add set_tabsize() and set_escdelay() functions.
390
39120080112
392	+ remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c
393	+ remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's
394	  adjust_window() which caused occasional misadjustment of stdscr when
395	  softkeys were used.
396
39720080105
398	+ several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD
399	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the
400	  "link_test" builds properly.
401	+ fix for toe command-line options -u/-U to ensure filename is given.
402	+ fix allocation-size for command-line parsing in infocmp from 20070728
403	  (report by Miroslav Lichvar)
404	+ improve resizeterm() by moving ripped-off lines, and repainting the
405	  soft-keys (report by Katarina Machalkova)
406	+ add clarification in wclear's manpage noting that the screen will be
407	  cleared even if a subwindow is cleared (prompted by Christer Enfors
408	  question).
409	+ change test/ncurses.c soft-key tests to work with KEY_RESIZE.
410
41120071222
412	+ continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
413	  for delwin().
414
41520071215
416	+ add several functions to C++ binding which wrap C functions that
417	  pass a WINDOW* parameter (request by Chris Lee).
418
41920071201
420	+ add note about configure options needed for Berkeley database to the
421	  INSTALL file.
422	+ improve checks for version of Berkeley database libraries.
423	+ amend fix for rpath to not modify LDFLAGS if the platform has no
424	  applicable transformation (report by Christian Ebert, cf: 20071124).
425
42620071124
427	+ modify configure option --with-hashed-db to accept a parameter which
428	  is the install-prefix of a given Berkeley Database (prompted by
429	  pierre4d2 comments).
430	+ rewrite wrapper for wcrtomb(), making it work on Solaris.  This is
431	  used in the form library to determine the length of the buffer needed
432	  by field_buffer (report by Alfred Fung).
433	+ remove unneeded window-parameter from C++ binding for wresize (report
434	  by Chris Lee).
435
43620071117
437	+ modify the support for filesystems which do not support mixed-case to
438	  generate 2-character (hexadecimal) codes for the lower-level of the
439	  filesystem terminfo database (request by Michail Vidiassov).
440	+ add configure option --enable-mixed-case, to allow overriding the
441	  configure script's check if the filesystem supports mixed-case
442	  filenames.
443	+ add wresize() to C++ binding (request by Chris Lee).
444	+ define NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS and NCURSES_EXT_COLORS in curses.h to make

446	  declared.
447
44820071103
449	+ update memory-leak checks for changes to names.c and codes.c
450	+ correct acsc strings in h19, z100 (patch by Benjamin C W Sittler).
451
45220071020

459
46020071013
461	+ modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built
462	  without libtic.  The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
463	  that library.
464	+ add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
465	  the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).
466	+ fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat Bugzilla

471	  the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
472
47320071006
474	+ add code to curses.priv.h ifdef'd with NCURSES_CHAR_EQ, which
475	  changes the CharEq() macro to an inline function to allow comparing
476	  cchar_t struct's without comparing gaps in a possibly unpacked
477	  memory layout (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
478
47920070929
480	+ add new functions to lib_trace.c to setup mutex's for the _tracef()
481	  calls within the ncurses library.
482	+ for the reentrant model, move _nc_tputs_trace and _nc_outchars into
483	  the SCREEN.
484	+ start modifying test/worm.c to provide threading demo (incomplete).
485	+ separated ifdef's for some BSD-related symbols in tset.c, to make
486	  it compile on LynxOS (report by Greg Gemmer).
48720070915
488	+ modify Ada95/gen/Makefile to use shlib script, to simplify building
489	  shared-library configuration on platforms lacking rpath support.
490	+ build-fix for Ada95/src/Makefile to reflect changed dependency for
491	  the terminal-interface-curses-aux.adb file which is now generated.
492	+ restructuring test/worm.c, for use_window() example.
493
49420070908
495	+ add use_window() and use_screen() functions, to develop into support
496	  for threaded library (incomplete).
497	+ fix typos in man/curs_opaque.3x which kept the install script from
498	  creating symbolic links to two aliases created in 20070818 (report by
499	  Rong-En Fan).
500
50120070901
502	+ remove a spurious newline from output of html.m4, which caused links
503	  for Ada95 html to be incorrect for the files generated using m4.
504	+ start investigating mutex's for SCREEN manipulation (incomplete).
505	+ minor cleanup of codes.c/names.c for --enable-const
506	+ expand/revise "Routine and Argument Names" section of ncurses manpage
507	  to address report by David Givens in newsgroup discussion.
508	+ fix interaction between --without-progs/--with-termcap configure
509	  options (report by Michail Vidiassov).
510	+ fix typo in "--disable-relink" option (report by Michail Vidiassov).

517
51820070818
519	+ add 9term terminal description (request by Juhapekka Tolvanen) -TD
520	+ modify comp_hash.c's string output to avoid misinterpreting a null
521	  "\0" followed by a digit.
522	+ modify MKnames.awk and MKcodes.awk to support big-strings.
523	  This only applies to the cases (broken linker, reentrant) where
524	  the corresponding arrays are accessed via wrapper functions.
525	+ split MKnames.awk into two scripts, eliminating the shell redirection
526	  which complicated the make process and also the bogus timestamp file
527	  which was introduced to fix "make -j".
528	+ add test/test_opaque.c, test/test_arrays.c
529	+ add wgetscrreg() and wgetparent() for applications that may need it
530	  when NCURSES_OPAQUE is defined (prompted by Bryan Christ).
531
53220070812
533	+ amend treatment of infocmp "-r" option to retain the 1023-byte limit
534	  unless "-T" is given (cf: 981017).
535	+ modify comp_captab.c generation to use big-strings.
536	+ make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private accessed via
537	  _nc_get_alias_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
538	  library.
539	+ modify configure script to skip Intel compiler in CF_C_INLINE.
540	+ make _nc_info_hash_table and _nc_cap_hash_table private accessed via
541	  _nc_get_hash_table() since the tables are used only within the tic

543
54420070728
545	+ make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private, accessed via
546	  _nc_get_alias_table() since they are used only by parse_entry.c
547	+ make _nc_key_names private since it is used only by lib_keyname.c
548	+ add --disable-big-strings configure option to control whether
549	  unctrl.c is generated using the big-string optimization - which may
550	  use strings longer than supported by a given compiler.
551	+ reduce relocation tables for tic, infocmp by changing type of
552	  internal hash tables to short, and make those private symbols.
553	+ eliminate large fixed arrays from progs/infocmp.c
554

558	+ add test/test_getstr.c
559	+ add test/test_inwstr.c
560	+ add test/test_instr.c
561
56220070716
563	+ restore a call to obtain screen-size in _nc_setupterm(), which
564	  is used in tput and other non-screen applications via setupterm()
565	  (Debian #433357, reported by Florent Bayle, Christian Ohm,
566	  cf: 20070310).
567
56820070714
569	+ add test/savescreen.c test-program

58720070630
588	+ add "widec" row to _tracedump() output to help diagnose remaining
589	  problems with multi-column characters.
590	+ partial fix for refresh of window on top of multi-column characters
591	  which are partly overwritten (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
592	+ ignore A_CHARTEXT bits in vidattr() and vid_attr(), in case
593	  multi-column extension bits are passed there.
594	+ add setlocale() call to demo_panels.c, needed for wide-characters.
595	+ add some output flags to _nc_trace_ttymode to help diagnose a bug

624	  is overwritten by chgat (report by Aleksi Torhamo).
625	+ correct buffer-size for _nc_viswbuf2n() (report by Aleksi Torhamo).
626	+ build-fixes for Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 (patch by Peter O'Gorman).
627
62820070526
629	+ modify keyname() to use "^X" form only if meta() has been called, or
630	  if keyname() is called without initializing curses, e.g., via
631	  initscr() or newterm() (prompted by LinuxBase #1604).
632	+ document some portability issues in man/curs_util.3x
633	+ add a shadow copy of TTY buffer to _nc_prescreen to fix applications
634	  broken by moving that data into SCREEN (cf: 20061230).
635
63620070512
637	+ add 'O' (wide-character panel test) in ncurses.c to demonstrate a
638	  problem reported by Sadrul H Chowdhury with repainting parts of
639	  a fullwidth cell.
640	+ modify slk_init() so that if there are preceding calls to

652	  memory-checking.
653	+ correct some functions in Ada95 binding which were using return value
654	  from C where none was returned:  idcok(), immedok() and wtimeout().
655	+ amend recent changes for Ada95 binding to make it build with
656	  Cygwin's linker, e.g., with configure options
657		--enable-broken-linker --with-ticlib
658
65920070428
660	+ add a configure check for gcc's options for inlining, use that to
661	  quiet a warning message where gcc's default behavior changed from

663	+ improve warning message when checking if GPM is linked to curses
664	  library by not warning if its use of "wgetch" is via a weak symbol.
665	+ add loader options when building with static libraries to ensure that
666	  an installed shared library for ncurses does not conflict.  This is
667	  reported as problem with Tru64, but could affect other platforms
668	  (report Martin Mokrejs, analysis by Tim Mooney).

672	    SHLIB_LIST in form/menu/panel/c++ libraries.
673	+ fix initialization of ripoff stack pointer (cf: 20070421).
674
67520070421
676	+ move most static variables into structures _nc_globals and
677	  _nc_prescreen, to simplify storage.
678	+ add/use configure script macro CF_SIG_ATOMIC_T, use the corresponding
679	  type for data manipulated by signal handlers (prompted by comments

682	  to the libtool create- and link-operations.
683
68420070414
685	+ fix whitespace in curs_opaque.3x which caused a spurious ';' in
686	  the installed aliases (report by Peter Santoro).
687	+ fix configure script to not try to generate adacurses-config when
688	  Ada95 tree is not built.
689

693	+ add adacurses-config to the Ada95 install, based on version from
694	  FreeBSD port, in turn by Juergen Pfeifer in 2000 (prompted by
695	  comment on comp.lang.ada newsgroup).
696	+ fix includes in c++ binding to build with Intel compiler
697	  (cf: 20061209).
698	+ update install rule in Ada95 to use mkdirs.sh
699	> other fixes prompted by inspection for Coverity report:

727
72820070331
729	+ modify Ada95 binding to build with --enable-reentrant by wrapping
730	  global variables (bug: acs_map does not yet work).
731	+ modify Ada95 binding to use the new access-functions, allowing it
732	  to build/run when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
733	+ add access-functions and macros to return properties of the WINDOW
734	  structure, e.g., when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
735	+ improved install-sh's quoting.
736	+ use mkdirs.sh rather than mkinstalldirs, e.g., to use fixes from
737	  other programs.
738
73920070324
740	+ eliminate part of the direct use of WINDOW data from Ada95 interface.
741	+ fix substitutions for termlib filename to make configure option
742	  --enable-reentrant work with --with-termlib.
743	+ change a constructor for NCursesWindow to allow compiling with
744	  NCURSES_OPAQUE set, since we cannot pass a reference to
745	  an opaque pointer.
746
74720070317
748	+ ignore --with-chtype=unsigned since unsigned is always added to
749	  the type in curses.h; do the same for --with-mmask-t.
750	+ change warning regarding --enable-ext-colors and wide-character
751	  in the configure script to an error.
752	+ tweak error message in CF_WITH_LIBTOOL to distinguish other programs
753	  such as Darwin's libtool program (report by Michail Vidiassov)
754	+ modify edit_man.sh to allow for multiple substitutions per line.
755	+ set locale in misc/ncurses-config.in since it uses a range
756	+ change permissions libncurses++.a install (report by Michail
757	  Vidiassov).
758	+ corrected length of temporary buffer in wide-character version
759	  of set_field_buffer() (related to report by Bryan Christ).

763	  changes for cygwin (report by  Michail Vidiassov).
764
76520070310
766	+ increase size of array in _nc_visbuf2n() to make "tic -v" work
767	  properly in its similar_sgr() function (report/analysis by Peter
768	  Santoro).
769	+ add --enable-reentrant configure option for ongoing changes to
770	  implement a reentrant version of ncurses:
771	  + libraries are suffixed with "t"
772	  + wrap several global variables (curscr, newscr, stdscr, ttytype,
773	    COLORS, COLOR_PAIRS, COLS, ESCDELAY, LINES and TABSIZE) as
774	    functions returning values stored in SCREEN or cur_term.
775	  + move some initialization (LINES, COLS) from lib_setup.c,
776	    i.e., setupterm() to _nc_setupscreen(), i.e., newterm().

780	+ add NCURSES_OPAQUE symbol to curses.h, will use to make structs
781	  opaque in selected configurations.
782	+ move the chunk in lib_acs.c which resets acs capabilities when
783	  running on a terminal whose locale interferes with those into
784	  _nc_setupscreen(), so the libtinfo/libtinfow files can be made
785	  identical (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
786	+ do not use configure variable SHLIB_LIBS for building libraries
787	  outside the ncurses directory, since that symbol is customized
788	  only for that directory, and using it introduces an unneeded
789	  dependency on libdl (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
790	+ modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or
791	  installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in
792	  case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh (report by Jeff
793	  Chua).
794	+ revised section "Using NCURSES under XTERM" in ncurses-intro.html
795	  (prompted by newsgroup comment by Nick Guenther).
796
79720070224
798	+ change internal return codes of _nc_wgetch() to check for cases
799	  where KEY_CODE_YES should be returned, e.g., if a KEY_RESIZE was
800	  ungetch'd, and read by wget_wch().
801	+ fix static-library build broken in 20070217 changes to remove "-ldl"
802	  (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
803	+ change makefile/scripts for cygwin to allow building termlib.

809	+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
810
81120070217
812	+ fixes for $(TICS_LIST) in ncurses/Makefile (report by Miroslav
813	  Lichvar).
814	+ modify relinking of shared libraries to apply only when rpath is
815	  enabled, and add --disable-relink option which can be used to
816	  disable the feature altogether (reports by Michail Vidiassov,
817	  Adam J Richter).
818	+ fix --with-termlib option for wide-character configuration, stripping
819	  the "w" suffix in one place (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
820	+ remove "-ldl" from some library lists to reduce dependencies in
821	  programs (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
822	+ correct description of --enable-signed-char in configure --help
823	  (report by Michail Vidiassov).
824	+ add pattern for GNU/kFreeBSD configuration to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE,

826	  fixes.
827	+ remove "${DESTDIR}" from -install_name option used for linking
828	  shared libraries on Darwin (report by Michail Vidiassov).
829
83020070210
831	+ add test/inchs.c, test/inch_wide.c, to test win_wchnstr().
832	+ remove libdl from library list for termlib (report by Miroslav
833	  Lichvar).
834	+ fix configure.in to allow --without-progs --with-termlib (patch by
835	  Miroslav Lichvar).
836	+ modify win_wchnstr() to ensure that only a base cell is returned
837	  for each multi-column character (prompted by report by Wei Kong
838	  regarding change in mvwin_wch() cf: 20041023).
839
84020070203
841	+ modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
842	  from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
843	  Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
844	  associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
845	  Ricardo Cantu).
846	+ improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
847	+ ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
848	+ add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
849	  to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
850	+ drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
851	  no longer relies on it.
852	+ disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
853	  --enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
854	+ remove tack from ncurses tree.
855
85620070128
857	+ fix typo in configure script that broke --with-termlib option
858	  (report by Rong-En Fan).
859
86020070127
861	+ improve fix for FreeBSD gnu/98975, to allow for null pointer passed
862	  to tgetent() (report by Rong-en Fan).
863	+ update tack/HISTORY and tack/README to tell how to build it after
864	  it is removed from the ncurses tree.
865	+ fix configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
866	  (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
867	+ review/eliminate other original-file artifacts in cursesw.cc, making
868	  its license consistent with ncurses.
869	+ use ncurses vw_scanw() rather than reading into a fixed buffer in
870	  the c++ binding for scanw() methods (prompted by report by Nuno Dias).
871	+ eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding.
872
87320070120
874	+ add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from
875	  term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency.
876	+ fix test/mk-test.awk to ignore blank lines.
877	+ correct paths in include/headers, for --srcdir (patch by Miroslav
878	  Lichvar).
879
88020070113
881	+ add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the
882	  _first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak).
883	+ add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the
884	  ncurses build-tree.
885	+ add --with-ticlib option, to build/install the tic-support functions
886	  in a separate library (suggested by Miroslav Lichvar).
887
88820070106
889	+ change MKunctrl.awk to reduce relocation table for unctrl.o
890	+ change MKkeyname.awk to reduce relocation table for keyname.o
891	  (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
892
89320061230
894	+ modify configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
895	  (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
896	+ modify some modules to allow them to be reentrant if _REENTRANT is
897	  defined: lib_baudrate.c, resizeterm.c (local data only)
898	+ eliminate static data from some modules: add_tries.c, hardscroll.c,
899	  lib_ttyflags.c, lib_twait.c
900	+ improve manpage install to add aliases for the transformed program
901	  names, e.g., from --program-prefix.
902	+ used linklint to verify links in the HTML documentation, made fixes
903	  to manpages as needed.
904	+ fix a typo in curs_mouse.3x (report by William McBrine).
905	+ fix install-rule for ncurses5-config to make the bin-directory.
906
90720061223
908	+ modify configure script to omit the tic (terminfo compiler) support
909	  from ncurses library if --without-progs option is given.
910	+ modify install rule for ncurses5-config to do this via "install.libs"
911	+ modify shared-library rules to allow FreeBSD 3.x to use rpath.
912	+ update config.guess, config.sub
913
91420061217 5.6 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
915
91620061217
917	+ add ifdef's for <wctype.h> for HPUX, which has the corresponding
918	  definitions in <wchar.h>.
919	+ revert the va_copy() change from 20061202, since it was neither
920	  correct nor portable.
921	+ add $(LOCAL_LIBS) definition to progs/Makefile.in, needed for
922	  rpath on Solaris.
923	+ ignore wide-acs line-drawing characters that wcwidth() claims are
924	  not one-column.  This is a workaround for Solaris' broken locale
925	  support.
926
92720061216
928	+ modify configure --with-gpm option to allow it to accept a parameter,
929	  i.e., the name of the dynamic GPM library to load via dlopen()
930	  (requested by Bryan Henderson).
931	+ add configure option --with-valgrind, changes from vile.
932	+ modify configure script AC_TRY_RUN and AC_TRY_LINK checks to use
933	  'return' in preference to 'exit()'.
934
93520061209
936	+ change default for --with-develop back to "no".
937	+ add XTABS to tracing of TTY bits.
938	+ updated autoconf patch to ifdef-out the misfeature which declares
939	  exit() for configure tests.  This fixes a redefinition warning on
940	  Solaris.
941	+ use ${CC} rather than ${LD} in shared library rules for IRIX64,
942	  Solaris to help ensure that initialization sections are provided for
943	  extra linkage requirements, e.g., of C++ applications (prompted by
944	  comment by Casper Dik in newsgroup).
945	+ rename "$target" in CF_MAN_PAGES to make it easier to distinguish
946	  from the autoconf predefined symbol.  There was no conflict,
947	  since "$target" was used only in the generated edit_man.sh file,
948	  but SuSE's rpm package contains a patch.
949
95020061202
951	+ update man/term.5 to reflect extended terminfo support and hashed
952	  database configuration.
953	+ updates for test/configure script.
954	+ adapted from SuSE rpm package:
955	  + remove long-obsolete workaround for broken-linker which declared
956	    cur_term in tic.c
957	  + improve error recovery in PUTC() macro when wcrtomb() does not
958	    return usable results for an 8-bit character.
959	+ patches from rpm package (SuSE):
960	  + use va_copy() in extra varargs manipulation for tracing version
961	    of printw, etc.
962	  + use a va_list rather than a null in _nc_freeall()'s call to
963	    _nc_printf_string().
964	+ add some see-also references in manpages to show related
965	  wide-character functions (suggested by Claus Fischer).
966
96720061125
968	+ add a check in lib_color.c to ensure caller does not increase COLORS
969	  above max_colors, which is used as an array index (discussion with
970	  Simon Sasburg).
971	+ add ifdef's allowing ncurses to be built with tparm() using either
972	  varargs (the existing status), or using a fixed-parameter list (to
973	  match X/Open).
974
97520061104
976	+ fix redrawing of windows other than stdscr using wredrawln() by
977	  touching the corresponding rows in curscr (discussion with Dan
978	  Gookin).
979	+ add test/redraw.c
980	+ add test/echochar.c
981	+ review/cleanup manpage descriptions of error-returns for form- and
982	  menu-libraries (prompted by FreeBSD docs/46196).
983
98420061028
985	+ add AUTHORS file -TD
986	+ omit the -D options from output of the new config script --cflags
987	  option (suggested by Ralf S Engelschall).
988	+ make NCURSES_INLINE unconditionally defined in curses.h
989
99020061021
991	+ revert change to accommodate bash 3.2, since that breaks other
992	  platforms, e.g., Solaris.
993	+ minor fixes to NEWS file to simplify scripting to obtain list of
994	  contributors.
995	+ improve some shared-library configure scripting for Linux, FreeBSD
996	  and NetBSD to make "--with-shlib-version" work.
997	+ change configure-script rules for FreeBSD shared libraries to allow
998	  for rpath support in versions past 3.
999	+ use $(DESTDIR) in makefile rules for installing/uninstalling the
1000	  package config script (reports/patches by Christian Wiese,
1001	  Ralf S Engelschall).
1002	+ fix a warning in the configure script for NetBSD 2.0, working around
1003	  spurious blanks embedded in its ${MAKEFLAGS} symbol.
1004	+ change test/Makefile to simplify installing test programs in a
1005	  different directory when --enable-rpath is used.
1006
100720061014
1008	+ work around bug in bash 3.2 by adding extra quotes (Jim Gifford).
1009	+ add/install a package config script, e.g., "ncurses5-config" or
1010	  "ncursesw5-config", according to configuration options.
1011
101220061007
1013	+ add several GNU Screen terminfo variations with 16- and 256-colors,
1014	  and status line (Alain Bench).
1015	+ change the way shared libraries (other than libtool) are installed.
1016	  Rather than copying the build-tree's libraries, link the shared
1017	  objects into the install directory.  This makes the --with-rpath
1018	  option work except with $(DESTDIR) (cf: 20000930).
1019
102020060930
1021	+ fix ifdef in c++/internal.h for QNX 6.1
1022	+ test-compiled with (old) egcs-1.1.2, modified configure script to
1023	  not unset the $CXX and related variables which would prevent this.
1024	+ fix a few terminfo.src typos exposed by improvments to "-f" option.
1025	+ improve infocmp/tic "-f" option formatting.
1026
102720060923
1028	+ make --disable-largefile option work (report by Thomas M Ott).
1029	+ updated html documentation.
1030	+ add ka2, kb1, kb3, kc2 to vt220-keypad as an extension -TD
1031	+ minor improvements to rxvt+pcfkeys -TD
1032
103320060916
1034	+ move static data from lib_mouse.c into SCREEN struct.
1035	+ improve ifdef's for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset to work with Mac OS X
1036	  (report by Michail Vidiassov).
1037	+ modify CF_PATH_SYNTAX to ensure it uses the result from --prefix
1038	  option (from lynx changes) -TD
1039	+ adapt AC_PROG_EGREP check, noting that this is likely to be another
1040	  place aggravated by POSIXLY_CORRECT.
1041	+ modify configure check for awk to ensure that it is found (prompted
1042	  by report by Christopher Parker).
1043	+ update config.sub
1044
104520060909
1046	+ add kon, kon2 and jfbterm terminfo entry (request by Till Maas) -TD
1047	+ remove invis capability from klone+sgr, mainly used by linux entry,
1048	  since it does not really do this -TD
1049
105020060903
1051	+ correct logic in wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not guard
1052	  against passing the multi-column attribute into a call on waddch(),
1053	  e.g., using data returned by win_wch() (cf: 20041023)
1054	  (report by Sadrul H Chowdhury).
1055
105620060902
1057	+ fix kterm's acsc string -TD
1058	+ fix for change to tic/infocmp in 20060819 to ensure no blank is
1059	  embedded into a termcap description.
1060	+ workaround for 20050806 ifdef's change to allow visbuf.c to compile
1061	  when using --with-termlib --with-trace options.
1062	+ improve tgetstr() by making the return value point into the user's
1063	  buffer, if provided (patch by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat Bugzilla
1064	  #202480)).
1065	+ correct libraries needed for foldkeys (report by Stanislav Ievlev)
1066
106720060826
1068	+ add terminfo entries for xfce terminal (xfce) and multi gnome
1069	  terminal (mgt) -TD
1070	+ add test/foldkeys.c
1071
107220060819
1073	+ modify tic and infocmp to avoid writing trailing blanks on terminfo
1074	  source output (Debian #378783).
1075	+ modify configure script to ensure that if the C compiler is used
1076	  rather than the loader in making shared libraries, the $(CFLAGS)
1077	  variable is also used (Redhat Bugzilla #199369).
1078	+ port hashed-db code to db2 and db3.
1079	+ fix a bug in tgetent() from 20060625 and 20060715 changes
1080	  (patch/analysis by Miroslav Lichvar (see Redhat Bugzilla #202480)).
1081
108220060805
1083	+ updated xterm function-keys terminfo to match xterm #216 -TD
1084	+ add configure --with-hashed-db option (tested only with FreeBSD 6.0,
1085	  e.g., the db 1.8.5 interface).
1086
108720060729
1088	+ modify toe to access termcap data, e.g., via cgetent() functions,
1089	  or as a text file if those are not available.
1090	+ use _nc_basename() in tset to improve $SHELL check for csh/sh.
1091	+ modify _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_termcap_entry() so infocmp,
1092	  can access termcap data when the terminfo database is disabled.
1093
109420060722
1095	+ widen the test for xterm kmous a little to allow for other strings
1096	  than \E[M, e.g., for xterm-sco functionality in xterm.
1097	+ update xterm-related terminfo entries to match xterm patch #216 -TD
1098	+ update config.guess, config.sub
1099
110020060715
1101	+ fix for install-rule in Ada95 to add terminal_interface.ads
1102	  and terminal_interface.ali (anonymous posting in comp.lang.ada).
1103	+ correction to manpage for getcchar() (report by William McBrine).
1104	+ add test/chgat.c
1105	+ modify wchgat() to mark updated cells as changed so a refresh will
1106	  repaint those cells (comments by Sadrul H Chowdhury and William
1107	  McBrine).
1108	+ split up dependency of names.c and codes.c in ncurses/Makefile to
1109	  work with parallel make (report/analysis by Joseph S Myers).
1110	+ suppress a warning message (which is ignored) for systems without
1111	  an ldconfig program (patch by Justin Hibbits).
1112	+ modify configure script --disable-symlinks option to allow one to
1113	  disable symlink() in tic even when link() does not work (report by
1114	  Nigel Horne).
1115	+ modify MKfallback.sh to use tic -x when constructing fallback tables
1116	  to allow extended capabilities to be retrieved from a fallback entry.
1117	+ improve leak-checking logic in tgetent() from 20060625 to ensure that
1118	  it does not free the current screen (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
1119
112020060708
1121	+ add a check for _POSIX_VDISABLE in tset (NetBSD #33916).
1122	+ correct _nc_free_entries() and related functions used for memory leak
1123	  checking of tic.
1124
112520060701
1126	+ revert a minor change for magic-cookie support from 20060513, which
1127	  caused unexpected reset of attributes, e.g., when resizing test/view
1128	  in color mode.
1129	+ note in clear manpage that the program ignores command-line
1130	  parameters (prompted by Debian #371855).
1131	+ fixes to make lib_gen.c build properly with changes to the configure
1132	  --disable-macros option and NCURSES_NOMACROS (cf:  20060527)
1133	+ update/correct several terminfo entries -TD
1134	+ add some notes regarding copyright to terminfo.src -TD
1135
113620060625
1137	+ fixes to build Ada95 binding with gnat-4.1.0
1138	+ modify read_termtype() so the term_names data is always allocated as
1139	  part of the str_table, a better fix for a memory leak (cf: 20030809).
1140	+ reduce memory leaks in repeated calls to tgetent() by remembering the
1141	  last TERMINAL* value allocated to hold the corresponding data and
1142	  freeing that if the tgetent() result buffer is the same as the
1143	  previous call (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
1144	+ modify tack to test extended capability function-key strings.
1145	+ improved gnome terminfo entry (GenToo #122566).
1146	+ improved xterm-256color terminfo entry (patch by Alain Bench).
1147
114820060617
1149	+ fix two small memory leaks related to repeated tgetent() calls
1150	  with TERM=screen (report by "Matt" for FreeBSD gnu/98975).
1151	+ add --enable-signed-char to simplify Debian package.
1152	+ reduce name-pollution in term.h by removing #define's for HAVE_xxx
1153	  symbols.
1154	+ correct typo in curs_terminfo.3x (Debian #369168).
1155
115620060603
1157	+ enable the mouse in test/movewindow.c
1158	+ improve a limit-check in frm_def.c (John Heasley).
1159	+ minor copyright fixes.
1160	+ change configure script to produce test/Makefile from data file.
1161
116220060527
1163	+ add a configure option --enable-wgetch-events to enable
1164	  NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS, and correct the associated loop-logic in
1165	  lib_twait.c (report by Bernd Jendrissek).
1166	+ remove include/nomacros.h from build, since the ifdef for
1167	  NCURSES_NOMACROS makes that obsolete.
1168	+ add entrypoints for some functions which were only provided as macros
1169	  to make NCURSES_NOMACROS ifdef work properly:  getcurx(), getcury(),
1170	  getbegx(), getbegy(), getmaxx(), getmaxy(), getparx() and getpary(),
1171	  wgetbkgrnd().
1172	+ provide ifdef for NCURSES_NOMACROS which suppresses most macro
1173	  definitions from curses.h, i.e., where a macro is defined to override
1174	  a function to improve performance.  Allowing a developer to suppress
1175	  these definitions can simplify some application (discussion with
1176	  Stanislav Ievlev).
1177	+ improve description of memu/meml in terminfo manpage.
1178
117920060520
1180	+ if msgr is false, reset video attributes when doing an automargin
1181	  wrap to the next line.  This makes the ncurses 'k' test work properly
1182	  for hpterm.
1183	+ correct caching of keyname(), which was using only half of its table.
1184	+ minor fixes to memory-leak checking.
1185	+ make SCREEN._acs_map and SCREEN._screen_acs_map pointers rather than
1186	  arrays, making ACS_LEN less visible to applications (suggested by
1187	  Stanislav Ievlev).
1188	+ move chunk in SCREEN ifdef'd for USE_WIDEC_SUPPORT to the end, so
1189	  _screen_acs_map will have the same offset in both ncurses/ncursesw,
1190	  making the corresponding tinfo/tinfow libraries binary-compatible
1191	  (cf: 20041016, report by Stanislav Ievlev).
1192
119320060513
1194	+ improve debug-tracing for EmitRange().
1195	+ change default for --with-develop to "yes".  Add NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS
1196	  and NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE environment variables to allow runtime
1197	  suppression of the related hard-tabs and xmc-glitch features.
1198	+ add ncurses version number to top-level manpages, e.g., ncurses, tic,
1199	  infocmp, terminfo as well as form, menu, panel.
1200	+ update config.guess, config.sub
1201	+ modify ncurses.c to work around a bug in NetBSD 3.0 curses
1202	  (field_buffer returning null for a valid field).  The 'r' test
1203	  appears to not work with that configuration since the new_fieldtype()
1204	  function is broken in that implementation.
1205
120620060506
1207	+ add hpterm-color terminfo entry -TD
1208	+ fixes to compile test-programs with HPUX 11.23
1209
121020060422
1211	+ add copyright notices to files other than those that are generated,
1212	  data or adapted from pdcurses (reports by William McBrine, David
1213	  Taylor).
1214	+ improve rendering on hpterm by not resetting attributes at the end
1215	  of doupdate() if the terminal has the magic-cookie feature (report
1216	  by Bernd Rieke).
1217	+ add 256color variants of terminfo entries for programs which are
1218	  reported to implement this feature -TD
1219
122020060416
1221	+ fix typo in change to NewChar() macro from 20060311 changes, which
1222	  broke tab-expansion (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
1223
122420060415
1225	+ document -U option of tic and infocmp.
1226	+ modify tic/infocmp to suppress smacs/rmacs when acsc is suppressed
1227	  due to size limit, e.g., converting to termcap format.  Also
1228	  suppress them if the output format does not contain acsc and it
1229	  was not VT100-like, i.e., a one-one mapping (Novell #163715).
1230	+ add configure check to ensure that SIGWINCH is defined on platforms
1231	  such as OS X which exclude that when _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., are
1232	  defined (report by Nicholas Cole)
1233
123420060408
1235	+ modify write_object() to not write coincidental extensions of an
1236	  entry made due to it being referenced in a use= clause (report by
1237	  Alain Bench).
1238	+ another fix for infocmp -i option, which did not ensure that some
1239	  escape sequences had comparable prefixes (report by Alain Bench).
1240
124120060401
1242	+ improve discussion of init/reset in terminfo and tput manpages
1243	  (report by Alain Bench).
1244	+ use is3 string for a fallback of rs3 in the reset program; it was
1245	  using is2 (report by Alain Bench).
1246	+ correct logic for infocmp -i option, which did not account for
1247	  multiple digits in a parameter (cf: 20040828) (report by Alain
1248	  Bench).
1249	+ move _nc_handle_sigwinch() to lib_setup.c to make --with-termlib
1250	  option work after 20060114 changes (report by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz).
1251	+ add copyright notices to test-programs as needed (report by William
1252	  McBrine).
1253
125420060318
1255	+ modify ncurses.c 'F' test to combine the wide-characters with color
1256	  and/or video attributes.
1257	+ modify test/ncurses to use CTL/Q or ESC consistently for exiting
1258	  a test-screen (some commands used 'x' or 'q').
1259
126020060312
1261	+ fix an off-by-one in the scrolling-region change (cf_ 20060311).
1262
126320060311
1264	+ add checks in waddchnstr() and wadd_wchnstr() to stop copying when
1265	  a null character is found (report by Igor Bogomazov).
1266	+ modify progs/Makefile.in to make "tput init" work properly with
1267	  cygwin, i.e., do not pass a ".exe" in the reference string used
1268	  in check_aliases (report by Samuel Thibault).
1269	+ add some checks to ensure current position is within scrolling
1270	  region before scrolling on a new line (report by Dan Gookin).
1271	+ change some NewChar() usage to static variables to work around
1272	  stack garbage introduced when cchar_t is not packed (Redhat #182024).
1273
127420060225
1275	+ workarounds to build test/movewindow with PDcurses 2.7.
1276	+ fix for nsterm-16color entry (patch by Alain Bench).
1277	+ correct a typo in infocmp manpage (Debian #354281).
1278
127920060218
1280	+ add nsterm-16color entry -TD
1281	+ updated mlterm terminfo entry -TD
1282	+ remove 970913 feature for copying subwindows as they are moved in
1283	  mvwin() (discussion with Bryan Christ).
1284	+ modify test/demo_menus.c to demonstrate moving a menu (both the
1285	  window and subwindow) using shifted cursor-keys.
1286	+ start implementing recursive mvwin() in movewindow.c (incomplete).
1287	+ add a fallback definition for GCC_PRINTFLIKE() in test.priv.h,
1288	  for movewindow.c (report by William McBrine).
1289	+ add help-message to test/movewindow.c
1290
129120060211
1292	+ add test/movewindow.c, to test mvderwin().
1293	+ fix ncurses soft-key test so color changes are shown immediately
1294	  rather than delayed.
1295	+ modify ncurses soft-key test to hide the keys when exiting the test
1296	  screen.
1297	+ fixes to build test programs with PDCurses 2.7, e.g., its headers
1298	  rely on autoconf symbols, and it declares stubs for nonfunctional
1299	  terminfo and termcap entrypoints.
1300
130120060204
1302	+ improved test/configure to build test/ncurses on HPUX 11 using the
1303	  vendor curses.
1304	+ documented ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS in the ncurses manpage, for the
1305	  benefit of developers who do not read INSTALL.
1306
130720060128
1308	+ correct form library Window_To_Buffer() change (cf:  20040516), which
1309	  should ignore the video attributes (report by Ricardo Cantu).
1310
131120060121
1312	+ minor fixes to xmc-glitch experimental code:
1313	  + suppress line-drawing
1314	  + implement max_attributes
1315	  tested with xterm.
1316	+ minor fixes for the database iterator.
1317	+ fix some buffer limits in c++ demo (comment by Falk Hueffner in
1318	  Debian #348117).
1319
132020060114
1321	+ add toe -a option, to show all databases.  This uses new private
1322	  interfaces in the ncurses library for iterating through the list of
1323	  databases.
1324	+ fix toe from 20000909 changes which made it not look at
1325	  $HOME/.terminfo
1326	+ make toe's -v option parameter optional as per manpage.
1327	+ improve SIGWINCH handling by postponing its effect during newterm(),
1328	  etc., when allocating screens.
1329
133020060111
1331	+ modify wgetnstr() to return KEY_RESIZE if a sigwinch occurs.  Use
1332	  this in test/filter.c
1333	+ fix an error in filter() modification which caused some applications
1334	  to fail.
1335
133620060107
1337	+ check if filter() was called when getting the screensize.  Keep it
1338	  at 1 if so (based on Redhat #174498).
1339	+ add extension nofilter().
1340	+ refined the workaround for ACS mapping.
1341	+ make ifdef's consistent in curses.h for the extended colors so the
1342	  header file can be used for the normal curses library.  The header
1343	  file installed for extended colors is a variation of the
1344	  wide-character configuration (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
1345
134620051231
1347	+ add a workaround to ACS mapping to allow applications such as
1348	  test/blue.c to use the "PC ROM" characters by masking them with
1349	  A_ALTCHARSET.  This worked up til 5.5, but was lost in the revision
1350	  of legacy coding (report by Michael Deutschmann).
1351	+ add a null-pointer check in the wide-character version of
1352	  calculate_actual_width() (report by Victor Julien).
1353	+ improve test/ncurses 'd' (color-edit) test by allowing the RGB
1354	  values to be set independently (patch by William McBrine).
1355	+ modify test/configure script to allow building test programs with
1356	  PDCurses/X11.
1357	+ modified test programs to allow some to work with NetBSD curses.
1358	  Several do not because NetBSD curses implements a subset of X/Open
1359	  curses, and also lacks much of SVr4 additions.  But it's enough for
1360	  comparison.
1361	+ update config.guess and config.sub
1362
136320051224
1364	+ use BSD-specific fix for return-value from cgetent() from CVS where
1365	  an unknown terminal type would be reportd as "database not found".
1366	+ make tgetent() return code more readable using new symbols
1367	  TGETENT_YES, etc.
1368	+ remove references to non-existent "tctest" program.
1369	+ remove TESTPROGS from progs/Makefile.in (it was referring to code
1370	  that was never built in that directory).
1371	+ typos in curs_addchstr.3x, some doc files (noticed in OpenBSD CVS).
1372
137320051217
1374	+ add use_legacy_coding() function to support lynx's font-switching
1375	  feature.
1376	+ fix formatting in curs_termcap.3x (report by Mike Frysinger).
1377	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to change preprocessor-expanded _Bool back to
1378	  bool.
1379
138020051210
1381	+ extend test/ncurses.c 's' (overlay window) test to exercise overlay(),
1382	  overwrite() and copywin() with different combinations of colors and
1383	  attributes (including background color) to make it easy to see the
1384	  effect of the different functions.
1385	+ corrections to menu/m_global.c for wide-characters (report by
1386	  Victor Julien).
1387
138820051203
1389	+ add configure option --without-dlsym, allowing developers to
1390	  configure GPM support without using dlsym() (discussion with Michael
1391	  Setzer).
1392	+ fix wins_nwstr(), which did not handle single-column non-8bit codes
1393	  (Debian #341661).
1394
139520051126
1396	+ move prototypes for wide-character trace functions from curses.tail
1397	  to curses.wide to avoid accidental reference to those if
1398	  _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined without ensuring that <wchar.h> is
1399	  included.
1400	+ add/use NCURSES_INLINE definition.
1401	+ change some internal functions to use int/unsigned rather than the
1402	  short equivalents.
1403
140420051119
1405	+ remove a redundant check in lib_color.c (Debian #335655).
1406	+ use ld's -search_paths_first option on Darwin to work around odd
1407	  search rules on that platform (report by Christian Gennerat, analysis
1408	  by Andrea Govoni).
1409	+ remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro.
1410	+ ignore EINTR in tcgetattr/tcsetattr calls (Debian #339518).
1411	+ fix several bugs in test/bs.c (patch by Stephen Lindholm).
1412
141320051112
1414	+ other minor fixes to cygwin based on tack -TD
1415	+ correct smacs in cygwin (Debian #338234, report by Baurzhan
1416	  Ismagulov, who noted that it was fixed in Cygwin).
1417
141820051029
1419	+ add shifted up/down arrow codes to xterm-new as kind/kri strings -TD
1420	+ modify wbkgrnd() to avoid clearing the A_CHARTEXT attribute bits
1421	  since those record the state of multicolumn characters (Debian
1422	  #316663).
1423	+ modify werase to clear multicolumn characters that extend into
1424	  a derived window (Debian #316663).
1425
142620051022
1427	+ move assignment from environment variable ESCDELAY from initscr()
1428	  down to newterm() so the environment variable affects timeouts for
1429	  terminals opened with newterm() as well.
1430	+ fix a memory leak in keyname().
1431	+ add test/demo_altkeys.c
1432	+ modify test/demo_defkey.c to exit from loop via 'q' to allow
1433	  leak-checking, as well as fix a buffer size in winnstr() call.
1434
143520051015
1436	+ correct order of use-clauses in rxvt-basic entry which made codes for
1437	  f1-f4 vt100-style rather than vt220-style (report by Gabor Z Papp).
1438	+ suppress configure check for gnatmake if Ada95/Makefile.in is not
1439	  found.
1440	+ correct a typo in configure --with-bool option for the case where
1441	  --without-cxx is used (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
1442	+ add a note to INSTALL's discussion of --with-normal, pointing out
1443	  that one may wish to use --without-gpm to ensure a completely
1444	  static link (prompted by report by Felix von Leitner).
1445
144620051010 5.5 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
1447
144820051008
1449	+ document in demo_forms.c some portability issues.
1450
145120051001
1452	+ document side-effect of werase() which sets the cursor position.
1453	+ save/restore the current position in form field editing to make
1454	  overlay mode work.
1455
145620050924
1457	+ correct header dependencies in progs, allowing parallel make (report
1458	  by Daniel Jacobowitz).
1459	+ modify CF_BUILD_CC to ensure that pre-setting $BUILD_CC overrides
1460	  the configure check for --with-build-cc (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
1461	+ modify CF_CFG_DEFAULTS to not use /usr as the default prefix for
1462	  NetBSD.
1463	+ update config.guess and config.sub from
1464		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
1465
146620050917
1467	+ modify sed expression which computes path for /usr/lib/terminfo
1468	  symbolic link in install to ensure that it does not change unexpected
1469	  levels of the path (Gentoo #42336).
1470	+ modify default for --disable-lp64 configure option to reduce impact
1471	  on existing 64-bit builds.  Enabling the _LP64 option may change the
1472	  size of chtype and mmask_t.  However, for ABI 6, it is enabled by
1473	  default (report by Mike Frysinger).
1474	+ add configure script check for --enable-ext-mouse, bump ABI to 6 by
1475	  default if it is used.
1476	+ improve configure script logic for bumping ABI to omit this if the
1477	  --with-abi-version option was used.
1478	+ update address for Free Software Foundation in tack's source.
1479	+ correct wins_wch(), which was not marking the filler-cells of
1480	  multi-column characters (cf:  20041023).
1481
148220050910
1483	+ modify mouse initialization to ensure that Gpm_Open() is called only
1484	  once.  Otherwise GPM gets confused in its initialization of signal
1485	  handlers (Debian #326709).
1486
148720050903
1488	+ modify logic for backspacing in a multiline form field to ensure that
1489	  it works even when the preceding line is full (report by Frank van
1490	  Vugt).
1491	+ remove comment about BUGS section of ncurses manpage (Debian #325481)
1492
149320050827
1494	+ document some workarounds for shared and libtool library
1495	  configurations in INSTALL (see --with-shared and --with-libtool).
1496	+ modify CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GXX_VERSION macros to accommodate
1497	  cross-compilers which emit the platform name in their version
1498	  message, e.g.,
1499		arm-sa1100-linux-gnu-g++ (GCC) 4.0.1
1500	  (report by Frank van Vugt).
1501
150220050820
1503	+ start updating documentation for upcoming 5.5 release.
1504	+ fix to make libtool  and libtinfo work together again (cf: 20050122).
1505	+ fixes to allow building traces into libtinfo
1506	+ add debug trace to tic that shows if/how ncurses will write to the
1507	  lower corner of a terminal's screen.
1508	+ update llib-l* files.
1509
151020050813
1511	+ modify initializers in c++ binding to build with old versions of g++.
1512	+ improve special case for 20050115 repainting fix, ensuring that if
1513	  the first changed cell is not a character that the range to be
1514	  repainted is adjusted to start at a character's beginning (Debian
1515	  #316663).
1516
151720050806
1518	+ fixes to build on QNX 6.1
1519	+ improve configure script checks for Intel 9.0 compiler.
1520	+ remove #include's for libc.h (obsolete).
1521	+ adjust ifdef's in curses.priv.h so that when cross-compiling to
1522	  produce comp_hash and make_keys, no dependency on wchar.h is needed.
1523	  That simplifies the build-cppflags (report by Frank van Vugt).
1524	+ move modules related to key-binding into libtinfo to fix linkage
1525	  problem caused by 20050430 changes to MKkeyname.sh (report by
1526	  Konstantin Andreev).
1527
152820050723
1529	+ updates/fixes for configure script macros from vile -TD
1530	+ make prism9's sgr string agree with the rest of the terminfo -TD
1531	+ make vt220's sgr0 string consistent with sgr string, do this for
1532	  several related cases -TD
1533	+ improve translation to termcap by filtering the 'me' (sgr0) strings
1534	  as in the runtime call to tgetent() (prompted by a discussion with
1535	  Thomas Klausner).
1536	+ improve tic check for sgr0 versus sgr(0), to help ensure that sgr0
1537	  resets line-drawing.
1538
153920050716
1540	+ fix special cases for trimming sgr0 for hurd and vt220 (Debian
1541	  #318621).
1542	+ split-out _nc_trim_sgr0() from modifications made to tgetent(), to
1543	  allow it to be used by tic to provide information about the runtime
1544	  changes that would be made to sgr0 for termcap applications.
1545	+ modify make_sed.sh to make the group-name in the NAME section of
1546	  form/menu library manpage agree with the TITLE string when renaming
1547	  is done for Debian (Debian #78866).
1548
154920050702
1550	+ modify parameter type in c++ binding for insch() and mvwinsch() to
1551	  be consistent with underlying ncurses library (was char, is chtype).
1552	+ modify treatment of Intel compiler to allow _GNU_SOURCE to be defined
1553	  on Linux.
1554	+ improve configure check for nanosleep(), checking that it works since
1555	  some older systems such as AIX 4.3 have a nonworking version.
1556
155720050625
1558	+ update config.guess and config.sub from
1559		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
1560	+ modify misc/shlib to work in test-directory.
1561	+ suppress $suffix in misc/run_tic.sh when cross-compiling.  This
1562	  allows cross-compiles to use the host's tic program to handle the
1563	  "make install.data" step.
1564	+ improve description of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables in manpages
1565	  (prompted by report by Dave Ulrick).
1566	+ improve description of cross-compiling in INSTALL
1567	+ add NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html by Pradeep Padala
1568	  (see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/).
1569	+ modify configure script to obtain soname for GPM library (discussion
1570	  with Daniel Jacobowitz).
1571	+ modify configure script so that --with-chtype option will still
1572	  compute the unsigned literals suffix for constants in curses.h
1573	  (report by Daniel Jacobowitz:
1574	+ patches from Daniel Jacobowitz:
1575	  + the man_db.renames entry for tack.1 was backwards.
1576	  + tack.1 had some 1m's that should have been 1M's.
1577	  + the section for curs_inwstr.3 was wrong.
1578
157920050619
1580	+ correction to --with-chtype option (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
1581
158220050618
1583	+ move build-time edit_man.sh and edit_man.sed scripts to top directory
1584	  to simplify reusing them for renaming tack's manpage (prompted by a
1585	  review of Debian package).
1586	+ revert minor optimization from 20041030 (Debian #313609).
1587	+ libtool-specific fixes, tested with libtool 1.4.3, 1.5.0, 1.5.6,
1588	  1.5.10 and 1.5.18 (all work except as noted previously for the c++
1589	  install using libtool 1.5.0):
1590	  + modify the clean-rule in c++/Makefile.in to work with IRIX64 make
1591	    program.
1592	  + use $(LIBTOOL_UNINSTALL) symbol, overlooked in 20030830
1593	+ add configure options --with-chtype and --with-mmask-t, to allow
1594	  overriding of the non-LP64 model's use of the corresponding types.
1595	+ revise test for size of chtype (and mmask_t), which always returned
1596	  "long" due to an uninitialized variable (report by Daniel Jacobowitz).
1597
159820050611
1599	+ change _tracef's that used "%p" format for va_list values to ignore
1600	  that, since on some platforms those are not pointers.
1601	+ fixes for long-formats in printf's due to largefile support.
1602
160320050604
1604	+ fixes for termcap support:
1605	  + reset pointer to _nc_curr_token.tk_name when the input stream is
1606	    closed, which could point to free memory (cf: 20030215).
1607	  + delink TERMTYPE data which is used by the termcap reader, so that
1608	    extended names data will be freed consistently.
1609	  + free pointer to TERMTYPE data in _nc_free_termtype() rather than
1610	    its callers.
1611	  + add some entrypoints for freeing permanently allocated data via
1612	    _nc_freeall() when NO_LEAKS is defined.
1613	+ amend 20041030 change to _nc_do_color to ensure that optimization is
1614	  applied only when the terminal supports back_color_erase (bce).
1615
161620050528
1617	+ add sun-color terminfo entry -TD
1618	+ correct a missing assignment in c++ binding's method
1619	  NCursesPanel::UserPointer() from 20050409 changes.
1620	+ improve configure check for large-files, adding check for dirent64
1621	  from vile -TD
1622	+ minor change to configure script to improve linker options for the
1623	  Ada95 tree.
1624
162520050515
1626	+ document error conditions for ncurses library functions (report by
1627	  Stanislav Ievlev).
1628	+ regenerated html documentation for ada binding.
1629	  see ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/gnathtml
1630
163120050507
1632	+ regenerated html documentation for manpages.
1633	+ add $(BUILD_EXEEXT) suffix to invocation of make_keys in
1634	  ncurses/Makefile (Gentoo #89772).
1635	+ modify c++/demo.cc to build with g++ -fno-implicit-templates option
1636	  (patch by Mike Frysinger).
1637	+ modify tic to filter out long extended names when translating to
1638	  termcap format.  Only two characters are permissible for termcap
1639	  capability names.
1640
164120050430
1642	+ modify terminfo entries xterm-new and rxvt to add strings for
1643	  shift-, control-cursor keys.
1644	+ workaround to allow c++ binding to compile with g++ 2.95.3, which
1645	  has a broken implementation of static_cast<> (patch by Jeff Chua).
1646	+ modify initialization of key lookup table so that if an extended
1647	  capability (tic -x) string is defined, and its name begins with 'k',
1648	  it will automatically be treated as a key.
1649	+ modify test/keynames.c to allow for the possibility of extended
1650	  key names, e.g., via define_key(), or via "tic -x".
1651	+ add test/demo_termcap.c to show the contents of given entry via the
1652	  termcap interface.
1653
165420050423
1655	+ minor fixes for vt100/vt52 entries -TD
1656	+ add configure option --enable-largefile
1657	+ corrected libraries used to build Ada95/gen/gen, found in testing
1658	  gcc 4.0.0.
1659
166020050416
1661	+ update config.guess, config.sub
1662	+ modify configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, disable that on
1663	  Darwin whose header files have problems (patch by Chris Zubrzycki).
1664	+ modify form library Is_Printable_String() to use iswprint() rather
1665	  than wcwidth() for determining if a character is printable.  The
1666	  latter caused it to reject menu items containing non-spacing
1667	  characters.
1668	+ modify ncurses test program's F-test to handle non-spacing characters
1669	  by combining them with a reverse-video blank.
1670	+ review/fix several gcc -Wconversion warnings.
1671
167220050409
1673	+ correct an off-by-one error in m_driver() for mouse-clicks used to
1674	  position the mouse to a particular item.
1675	+ implement test/demo_menus.c
1676	+ add some checks in lib_mouse to ensure SP is set.
1677	+ modify C++ binding to make 20050403 changes work with the configure
1678	  --enable-const option.
1679
168020050403
1681	+ modify start_color() to return ERR if it cannot allocate memory.
1682	+ address g++ compiler warnings in C++ binding by adding explicit
1683	  member initialization, assignment operators and copy constructors.
1684	  Most of the changes simply preserve the existing semantics of the
1685	  binding, which can leak memory, etc., but by making these features
1686	  visible, it provides a framework for improving the binding.
1687	+ improve C++ binding using static_cast, etc.
1688	+ modify configure script --enable-warnings to add options to g++ to
1689	  correspond to the gcc --enable-warnings.
1690	+ modify C++ binding to use some C internal functions to make it
1691	  compile properly on Solaris (and other platforms).
1692
169320050327
1694	+ amend change from 20050320 to limit it to configurations with a
1695	  valid locale.
1696	+ fix a bug introduced in 20050320 which broke the translation of
1697	  nonprinting characters to uparrow form (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
1698
169920050326
1700	+ add ifdef's for _LP64 in curses.h to avoid using wasteful 64-bits for
1701	  chtype and mmask_t, but add configure option --disable-lp64 in case
1702	  anyone used that configuration.
1703	+ update misc/shlib script to account for Mac OS X (report by Michail
1704	  Vidiassov).
1705	+ correct comparison for wrapping multibyte characters in
1706	  waddch_literal() (report by Takahashi Tamotsu).
1707
170820050320
1709	+ add -c and -w options to tset to allow user to suppress ncurses'
1710	  resizing of the terminal emulator window in the special case where it
1711	  is not able to detect the true size (report by Win Delvaux, Debian
1712	  #300419).
1713	+ modify waddch_nosync() to account for locale zn_CH.GBK, which uses
1714	  codes 128-159 as part of multibyte characters (report by Wang
1715	  WenRui, Debian #300512).
1716
171720050319
1718	+ modify ncurses.c 'd' test to make it work with 88-color
1719	  configuration, i.e., by implementing scrolling.
1720	+ improve scrolling in ncurses.c 'c' and 'C' tests, e.g., for 88-color
1721	  configuration.
1722
172320050312
1724	+ change tracemunch to use strict checking.
1725	+ modify ncurses.c 'p' test to test line-drawing within a pad.
1726	+ implement environment variable NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS to support
1727	  miscellaneous terminal emulators which ignore alternate character
1728	  set escape sequences when in UTF-8 mode.
1729
173020050305
1731	+ change NCursesWindow::err_handler() to a virtual function (request by
1732	  Steve Beal).
1733	+ modify fty_int.c and fty_num.c to handle wide characters (report by
1734	  Wolfgang Gutjahr).
1735	+ adapt fix for fty_alpha.c to fty_alnum.c, which also handled normal
1736	  and wide characters inconsistently (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
1737	+ update llib-* files to reflect internal interface additions/changes.
1738
173920050226
1740	+ improve test/configure script, adding tests for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc.,
1741	  from lynx.
1742	+ add aixterm-16color terminfo entry -TD
1743	+ modified xterm-new terminfo entry to work with tgetent() changes -TD
1744	+ extended changes in tgetent() from 20040710 to allow the substring of
1745	  sgr0 which matches rmacs to be at the beginning of the sgr0 string
1746	  (request by Thomas Wolff).  Wolff says the visual effect in
1747	  combination with pre-20040710 ncurses is improved.
1748	+ fix off-by-one in winnstr() call which caused form field validation
1749	  of multibyte characters to ignore the last character in a field.
1750	+ correct logic in winsch() for inserting multibyte strings; the code
1751	  would clear cells after the insertion rather than push them to the
1752	  right (cf: 20040228).
1753	+ fix an inconsistency in Check_Alpha_Field() between normal and wide
1754	  character logic (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr).
1755
175620050219
1757	+ fix a bug in editing wide-characters in form library: deleting a
1758	  nonwide character modified the previous wide-character.
1759	+ update manpage to describe NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2.
1760	+ correct manpage description of mouseinterval() (Debian #280687).
1761	+ add a note to default_colors.3x explaining why this extension was
1762	  added (Debian #295083).
1763	+ add traces to panel library.
1764
176520050212
1766	+ improve editing of wide-characters in form library:  left/right
1767	  cursor movement, and single-character deletions work properly.
1768	+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM happens to be prefixed with
1769	  "xterm".  Gpm_Open() would otherwise assert that it can deal with
1770	  mouse events in this case.
1771	+ modify GPM mouse support so it closes the server connection when
1772	  the caller disables the mouse (report by Stanislav Ievlev).
1773
177420050205
1775	+ add traces for callback functions in form library.
1776	+ add experimental configure option --enable-ext-mouse, which defines
1777	  NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies the encoding of mouse events to
1778	  support wheel mice, which may transmit buttons 4 and 5.  This works
1779	  with xterm and similar X terminal emulators (prompted by question by
1780	  Andreas Henningsson, this is also related to Debian #230990).
1781	+ improve configure macros CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE to
1782	  avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin.
1783
178420050129
1785	+ merge remaining development changes for extended colors (mostly
1786	  complete, does not appear to break other configurations).
1787	+ add xterm-88color.dat (part of extended colors testing).
1788	+ improve _tracedump() handling of color pairs past 96.
1789	+ modify return-value from start_color() to return OK if colors have
1790	  already been started.
1791	+ modify curs_color.3x list error conditions for init_pair(),
1792	  pair_content() and color_content().
1793	+ modify pair_content() to return -1 for consistency with init_pair()
1794	  if it corresponds to the default-color.
1795	+ change internal representation of default-color to allow application
1796	  to use color number 255.  This does not affect the total number of
1797	  color pairs which are allowed.
1798	+ add a top-level tags rule.
1799
180020050122
1801	+ add a null-pointer check in wgetch() in case it is called without
1802	  first calling initscr().
1803	+ add some null-pointer checks for SP, which is not set by libtinfo.
1804	+ modify misc/shlib to ensure that absolute pathnames are used.
1805	+ modify test/Makefile.in, etc., to link test programs only against the
1806	  libraries needed, e.g., omit form/menu/panel library for the ones
1807	  that are curses-specific.
1808	+ change SP->_current_attr to a pointer, adjust ifdef's to ensure that
1809	  libtinfo.so and libtinfow.so have the same ABI.  The reason for this
1810	  is that the corresponding data which belongs to the upper-level
1811	  ncurses library has a different size in each model (report by
1812	  Stanislav Ievlev).
1813
181420050115
1815	+ minor fixes to allow test-compiles with g++.
1816	+ correct column value shown in tic's warnings, which did not account
1817	  for leading whitespace.
1818	+ add a check in _nc_trans_string() for improperly ended strings, i.e.,
1819	  where a following line begins in column 1.
1820	+ modify _nc_save_str() to return a null pointer on buffer overflow.
1821	+ improve repainting while scrolling wide-character data (Eungkyu Song).
1822
182320050108
1824	+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
1825
182620050101
1827	+ merge some development changes to extend color capabilities.
1828	+ fix manpage typo (FreeBSD report docs/75544).
1829	+ update config.guess, config.sub
1830	> patches for configure script (Albert Chin-A-Young):
1831	+ improved fix to make mbstate_t recognized on HPUX 11i (cf:
1832	  20030705), making vsscanf() prototype visible on IRIX64.  Tested for
1833	  on HP-UX 11i, Solaris 7, 8, 9, AIX 4.3.3, 5.2, Tru64 UNIX 4.0D, 5.1,
1834	  IRIX64 6.5, Redhat Linux 7.1, 9, and RHEL 2.1, 3.0.
1835	+ print the result of the --disable-home-terminfo option.
1836	+ use -rpath when compiling with SGI C compiler.
1837
183820041225
1839	+ add trace calls to remaining public functions in form and menu
1840	  libraries.
1841	+ fix check for numeric digits in test/ncurses.c 'b' and 'B' tests.
1842	+ fix typo in test/ncurses.c 'c' test from 20041218.
1843
184420041218
1845	+ revise test/ncurses.c 'c' color test to improve use for xterm-88color
1846	  and xterm-256color, added 'C' test using the wide-character color_set
1847	  and attr_set functions.
1848
184920041211
1850	+ modify configure script to work with Intel compiler.
1851	+ fix an limit-check in wadd_wchnstr() which caused labels in the
1852	  forms-demo to be one character short.
1853	+ fix typo in curs_addchstr.3x (Jared Yanovich).
1854	+ add trace calls to most functions in form and menu libraries.
1855	+ update working-position for adding wide-characters when window is
1856	  scrolled (prompted by related report by Eungkyu Song).
1857
185820041204
1859	+ replace some references on Linux to wcrtomb() which use it to obtain
1860	  the length of a multibyte string with _nc_wcrtomb, since wcrtomb() is
1861	  broken in glibc (see Debian #284260).
1862	+ corrected length-computation in wide-character support for
1863	  field_buffer().
1864	+ some fixes to frm_driver.c to allow it to accept multibyte input.
1865	+ modify configure script to work with Intel 8.0 compiler.
1866
186720041127
1868	+ amend change to setupterm() in 20030405 which would reuse the value
1869	  of cur_term if the same output was selected.  This now reuses it only
1870	  when setupterm() is called from tgetent(), which has no notion of
1871	  separate SCREENs.  Note that tgetent() must be called after initscr()
1872	  or newterm() to use this feature (Redhat Bugzilla #140326).
1873	+ add a check in CF_BUILD_CC macro to ensure that developer has given
1874	  the --with-build-cc option when cross-compiling (report by Alexandre
1875	  Campo).
1876	+ improved configure script checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE and
1877	  _POSIX_C_SOURCE (fix for IRIX 5.3 from Georg Schwarz, _POSIX_C_SOURCE
1878	  updates from lynx).
1879	+ cosmetic fix to test/gdc.c to recolor the bottom edge of the box
1880	  for consistency (comment by Dan Nelson).
1881
188220041120
1883	+ update wsvt25 terminfo entry -TD
1884	+ modify test/ins_wide.c to test all flavors of ins_wstr().
1885	+ ignore filler-cells in wadd_wchnstr() when adding a cchar_t array
1886	  which consists of multi-column characters, since this function
1887	  constructs them (cf: 20041023).
1888	+ modify winnstr() to return multibyte character strings for the
1889	  wide-character configuration.
1890
189120041106
1892	+ fixes to make slk_set() and slk_wset() accept and store multibyte
1893	  or multicolumn characters.
1894
189520041030
1896	+ improve color optimization a little by making _nc_do_color() check
1897	  if the old/new pairs are equivalent to the default pair 0.
1898	+ modify assume_default_colors() to not require that
1899	  use_default_colors() be called first.
1900
190120041023
1902	+ modify term_attrs() to use termattrs(), add the extended attributes
1903	  such as enter_horizontal_hl_mode for WA_HORIZONTAL to term_attrs().
1904	+ add logic in waddch_literal() to clear orphaned cells when one
1905	  multi-column character partly overwrites another.
1906	+ improved logic for clearing cells when a multi-column character
1907	  must be wrapped to a new line.
1908	+ revise storage of cells for multi-column characters to correct a
1909	  problem with repainting.  In the old scheme, it was possible for
1910	  doupdate() to decide that only part of a multi-column character
1911	  should be repainted since the filler cells stored only an attribute
1912	  to denote them as fillers, rather than the character value and the
1913	  attribute.
1914
191520041016
1916	+ minor fixes for traces.
1917	+ add SP->_screen_acs_map[], used to ensure that mapping of missing
1918	  line-drawing characters is handled properly.  For example, ACS_DARROW
1919	  is absent from xterm-new, and it was coincidentally displayed the
1920	  same as ACS_BTEE.
1921
192220041009
1923	+ amend 20021221 workaround for broken acs to reset the sgr, rmacs
1924	  and smacs strings as well.  Also modify the check for screen's
1925	  limitations in that area to allow the multi-character shift-in
1926	  and shift-out which seem to work.
1927	+ change GPM initialization, using dl library to load it dynamically
1928	  at runtime (Debian #110586).
1929
193020041002
1931	+ correct logic for color pair in setcchar() and getcchar() (patch by
1932	  Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
1933	+ add t/T commands to ncurses b/B tests to allow a different color to
1934	  be tested for the attrset part of the test than is used in the
1935	  background color.
1936
193720040925
1938	+ fix to make setcchar() to work when its wchar_t* parameter is
1939	  pointing to a string which contains more data than can be converted.
1940	+ modify wget_wstr() and example in ncurses.c to work if wchar_t and
1941	  wint_t are different sizes (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
1942
194320040918
1944	+ remove check in wget_wch() added to fix an infinite loop, appears to
1945	  have been working around a transitory glibc bug, and interferes
1946	  with normal operation (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
1947	+ correct wadd_wch() and wecho_wch(), which did not pass the rendition
1948	  information (report by Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk).
1949	+ fix aclocal.m4 so that the wide-character version of ncurses gets
1950	  compiled as libncursesw.5.dylib, instead of libncurses.5w.dylib
1951	  (adapted from patch by James J Ramsey).
1952	+ change configure script for --with-caps option to indicate that it
1953	  is no longer experimental.
1954	+ change configure script to reflect the fact that --enable-widec has
1955	  not been "experimental" since 5.3 (report by Bruno Lustosa).
1956
195720040911
1958	+ add 'B' test to ncurses.c, to exercise some wide-character functions.
1959
196020040828
1961	+ modify infocmp -i option to match 8-bit controls against its table
1962	  entries, e.g., so it can analyze the xterm-8bit entry.
1963	+ add morphos terminfo entry, improve amiga-8bit entry (Pavel Fedin).
1964	+ correct translation of "%%" in terminfo format to termcap, e.g.,
1965	  using "tic -C" (Redhat Bugzilla #130921).
1966	+ modified configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to ensure that if
1967	  it defines _POSIX_C_SOURCE, that it defines it to a specific value
1968	  (comp.os.stratus newsgroup comment).
1969
197020040821
1971	+ fixes to build with Ada95 binding with gnat 3.4 (all warnings are
1972	  fatal, and gnat does not follow the guidelines for pragmas).
1973	  However that did find a coding error in Assume_Default_Colors().
1974	+ modify several terminfo entries to ensure xterm mouse and cursor
1975	  visibility are reset in rs2 string:  hurd, putty, gnome,
1976	  konsole-base, mlterm, Eterm, screen (Debian #265784, #55637).  The
1977	  xterm entries are left alone - old ones for compatibility, and the
1978	  new ones do not require this change. -TD
1979
198020040814
1981	+ fake a SIGWINCH in newterm() to accommodate buggy terminal emulators
1982	  and window managers (Debian #265631).
1983	> terminfo updates -TD
1984	+ remove dch/dch1 from rxvt because they are implemented inconsistently
1985	  with the common usage of bce/ech
1986	+ remove khome from vt220 (vt220's have no home key)
1987	+ add rxvt+pcfkeys
1988
198920040807
1990	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test, adding v/V toggles to cycle through
1991	  combinations of video attributes so that for instance bold and
1992	  underline can be tested.  This made the legend too crowded, added
1993	  a help window as well.
1994	+ modify test/ncurses.c 'b' test to cycle through default colors if
1995	  the -d option is set.
1996	+ update putty terminfo entry (Robert de Bath).
1997
199820040731
1999	+ modify test/cardfile.c to allow it to read more data than can be
2000	  displayed.
2001	+ correct logic in resizeterm.c which kept it from processing all
2002	  levels of window hierarchy (reports by Folkert van Heusden,
2003	  Chris Share).
2004
200520040724
2006	+ modify "tic -cv" to ignore delays when comparing strings.  Also
2007	  modify it to ignore a canceled sgr string, e.g., for terminals which
2008	  cannot properly combine attributes in one control sequence.
2009	+ corrections for gnome and konsole entries (Redhat Bugzilla #122815,
2010	  patch by Hans de Goede)
2011	> terminfo updates -TD
2012	+ make ncsa-m rmacs/smacs consistent with sgr
2013	+ add sgr, rc/sc and ech to syscons entries
2014	+ add function-keys to decansi
2015	+ add sgr to mterm-ansi
2016	+ add sgr, civis, cnorm to emu
2017	+ correct/simplify cup in addrinfo
2018
201920040717
2020	> terminfo updates -TD
2021	+ add xterm-pc-fkeys
2022	+ review/update gnome and gnome-rh90 entries (prompted by Redhat
2023	  Bugzilla #122815).
2024	+ review/update konsole entries
2025	+ add sgr, correct sgr0 for kterm and mlterm
2026	+ correct tsl string in kterm
2027
202820040711
2029	+ add configure option --without-xterm-new
2030
203120040710
2032	+ add check in wget_wch() for printable bytes that are not part of a
2033	  multibyte character.
2034	+ modify wadd_wchnstr() to render text using window's background
2035	  attributes.
2036	+ improve tic's check to compare sgr and sgr0.
2037	+ fix c++ directory's .cc.i rule.
2038	+ modify logic in tgetent() which adjusts the termcap "me" string
2039	  to work with ISO-2022 string used in xterm-new (cf: 20010908).
2040	+ modify tic's check for conflicting function keys to omit that if
2041	  converting termcap to termcap format.
2042	+ add -U option to tic and infocmp.
2043	+ add rmam/smam to linux terminfo entry (Trevor Van Bremen)
2044	> terminfo updates -TD
2045	+ minor fixes for emu
2046	+ add emu-220
2047	+ change wyse acsc strings to use 'i' map rather than 'I'
2048	+ fixes for avatar0
2049	+ fixes for vp3a+
2050
205120040703
2052	+ use tic -x to install terminfo database -TD
2053	+ add -x to infocmp's usage message.
2054	+ correct field used for comparing O_ROWMAJOR in set_menu_format()
2055	  (report/patch by Tony Li).
2056	+ fix a missing nul check in set_field_buffer() from 20040508 changes.
2057	> terminfo updates -TD
2058	  + make xterm-xf86-v43 derived from xterm-xf86-v40 rather than
2059	    xterm-basic -TD
2060	  + align with xterm patch #192's use of xterm-new -TD
2061	  + update xterm-new and xterm-8bit for cvvis/cnorm strings -TD
2062	  + make xterm-new the default "xterm" entry -TD
2063
206420040626
2065	+ correct BUILD_CPPFLAGS substitution in ncurses/Makefile.in, to allow
2066	  cross-compiling from a separate directory tree (report/patch by
2067	  Dan Engel).
2068	+ modify is_term_resized() to ensure that window sizes are nonzero,
2069	  as documented in the manpage (report by Ian Collier).
2070	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro to make Hurd port build
2071	  (Debian #249214, report/patch by Jeff Bailey).
2072	+ configure-script mods from xterm, e.g., updates to CF_ADD_CFLAGS
2073	+ update config.guess, config.sub
2074	> terminfo updates -TD
2075	  + add mlterm
2076	  + add xterm-xf86-v44
2077	  + modify xterm-new aka xterm-xfree86 to accommodate luit, which
2078	    relies on G1 being used via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (report by
2079	    Juliusz Chroboczek)
2080	  + add 'hurd' entry
2081
208220040619
2083	+ reconsidered winsnstr(), decided after comparing other
2084	  implementations that wrapping is an X/Open documentation error.
2085	+ modify test/inserts.c to test all flavors of insstr().
2086
208720040605
2088	+ add setlocale() calls to a few test programs which may require it:
2089	  demo_forms.c, filter.c, ins_wide.c, inserts.c
2090	+ correct a few misspelled function names in ncurses-intro.html (report
2091	  by Tony Li).
2092	+ correct internal name of key_defined() manpage, which conflicted with
2093	  define_key().
2094
209520040529
2096	+ correct size of internal pad used for holding wide-character
2097	  field_buffer() results.
2098	+ modify data_ahead() to work with wide-characters.
2099
210020040522
2101	+ improve description of terminfo if-then-else expressions (suggested
2102	  by Arne Thomassen).
2103	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'd' test, allow it to use external file for
2104	  initial palette (added xterm-16color.dat and linux-color.dat), and
2105	  reset colors to the initial palette when starting/ending the test.
2106	+ change limit-check in init_color() to allow r/g/b component to
2107	  reach 1000 (cf: 20020928).
2108
210920040516
2110	+ modify form library to use cchar_t's rather than char's in the
2111	  wide-character configuration for storing data for field buffers.
2112	+ correct logic of win_wchnstr(), which did not work for more than
2113	  one cell.
2114
211520040508
2116	+ replace memset/memcpy usage in form library with for-loops to
2117	  simplify changing the datatype of FIELD.buf, part of wide-character
2118	  changes.
2119	+ fix some inconsistent use of #if/#ifdef (report by Alain Guibert).
2120
212120040501
2122	+ modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by
2123	  multibyte character strings, in the wide-character configuration
2124	  (adapted from patch by Philipp Tomsich).
2125	+ add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F"
2126	  comparisons.  This modifies infocmp to only report extended
2127	  capabilities if the -x option is given, making this more consistent
2128	  with tic.  Some scripts may break, since infocmp previous gave this
2129	  information without an option.
2130	+ modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the beginning
2131	  of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic.
2132
213320040424
2134	+ minor compiler-warning and test-program fixes.
2135
213620040417
2137	+ modify tic's missing-sgr warning to apply to terminfo only.
2138	+ free some memory leaks in tic.
2139	+ remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending
2140	  beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner).
2141	+ remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
2142	  that extend beyond the screen.  Solaris curses does this.
2143	+ add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older
2144	  curses.
2145	+ add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog.
2146
214720040403
2148	+ modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond
2149	  to an unsigned char.
2150	+ add some limit-checks to guard isprint(), etc., from being used on
2151	  values that do not fit into an unsigned char (report by Sami Farin).
2152
215320040328
2154	+ fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change.
2155
215620040327
2157	+ modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's
2158	  current locale rather than using getenv().  This fixes a case in tin
2159	  which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale
2160	  is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen).
2161	+ add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD.
2162	+ add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr
2163	  string.  This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with
2164	  color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places.
2165	+ correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the
2166	  original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before
2167	  20030802 (Debian #237629).
2168
216920040320
2170	+ modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of
2171	  A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from
2172	  being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the
2173	  raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879).
2174
217520040313
2176	+ fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report
2177	  by Jim Idle).
2178	+ remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses
2179	  some apropos script (Debian #237831).
2180
218120040306
2182	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text,
2183	  set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing
2184	  mode is shown in that test.
2185	+ change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake.
2186	+ correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which
2187	  did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419).
2188
218920040228
2190	+ modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a
2191	  multibyte string.
2192	+ split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it.  X/Open states
2193	  that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other
2194	  insert-functions.  Currently it does not wrap.
2195	+ check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by
2196	  Stanislav Ievlev).
2197	+ split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first.
2198	+ fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC,
2199	  which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report
2200	  by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev).
2201
220220040221
2203	+ some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete
2204	  (request by Mike Aubury).
2205	+ add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of
2206	  stdbool.h, e.g.,
2207	  	#define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0
2208		#include <curses.h>
2209	  (discussion on XFree86 mailing list).
2210
221120040214
2212	+ modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets
2213	  the name of the terminfo library.  This would allow a packager to
2214	  build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion
2215	  with Stanislav Ievlev).
2216	+ improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and
2217	  $(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew).
2218	+ add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename
2219	  its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to
2220	  ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory
2221	  (prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs).
2222
222320040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
2224	+ update TO-DO.
2225
222620040207 pre-release
2227	+ minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param,
2228	  and do not count %d if it follows a %p.
2229	+ correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255
2230	  range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests.  In POSIX
2231	  locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former
2232	  did.
2233	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac
2234	  OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix
2235	  verified by Scott Corscadden).
2236
223720040131 pre-release
2238	+ modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors
2239	  to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo
2240	  (patch by Stanislav Ievlev).
2241	+ document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage.
2242	+ document special features of unctrl() in manpage.
2243	+ documented interface changes in INSTALL.
2244	+ corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale
2245	  (Debian #230335, cf: 971206).
2246	+ updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
2247	+ fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package.
2248	+ minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5.
2249
225020040125 pre-release
2251	+ amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number
2252	  of cells for a possibly multi-cell character.  The 20030614 change
2253	  forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not
2254	  greater than zero.  However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the
2255	  range 128-255 can give this return value.  The logic now simply
2256	  ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without
2257	  modifying the displayed value.
2258
225920040124 pre-release
2260	+ looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above)
2261	+ modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since
2262	  that works better for cross-compiling.
2263
226420040117 pre-release
2265	+ modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
2266	  work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
2267	  zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
2268	+ add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
2269	  to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
2270	+ add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
2271	+ add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
2272	  Bianchi).
2273	+ modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
2274	  (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz (see Debian
2275	  #227586)).
2276	+ correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
2277	  exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss (see Debian #224443)).
2278	+ modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
2279	+ remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
2280	+ make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
2281	+ improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
2282	  CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
2283	+ add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
2284	  simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
2285	+ add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
2286	  patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
2287	+ fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
2288	  HPUX .so/.sl case.
2289	+ resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
2290	  NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
2291	+ make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
2292	  will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
2293	+ rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool.  The
2294	  intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
2295	  compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
2296	  does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).
2297
229820040110 pre-release
2299	+ change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4
2300	+ revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W
2301	  Sittler).
2302	+ simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the
2303	  configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav
2304	  Ievlev).
2305	+ remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav
2306	  Ievlev).
2307	+ modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs
2308	  such as tic are not linked with the upper-level ncurses library
2309	  (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
2310	+ move version.c from ncurses/base to ncurses/tinfo to allow linking
2311	  of tic, etc., using libtinfo (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
2312
231320040103
2314	+ adjust -D's to build ncursesw on OpenBSD.
2315	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT to make OS/2 build with EXEEXT.
2316	+ add pecho_wchar().
2317	+ remove <wctype.h> include from lib_slk_wset.c which is not needed (or
2318	  available) on older platforms.
2319
232020031227
2321	+ add -D's to build ncursew on FreeBSD 5.1.
2322	+ modify shared library configuration for FreeBSD 4.x/5.x to add the
2323	  soname information (request by Marc Glisse).
2324	+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() to not use MAX_ALIAS, but PATH_MAX only
2325	  for limiting the length of a filename in the terminfo database.
2326	+ modify termname() to return the terminal name used by setupterm()
2327	  rather than $TERM, without truncating to 14 characters as documented
2328	  by X/Open (report by Stanislav Ievlev, cf:  970719).
2329	+ re-add definition for _BSD_TYPES, lost in merge (cf: 20031206).
2330
233120031220
2332	+ add configure option --with-manpage-format=catonly to address
2333	  behavior of BSDI, allow install of man+cat files on NetBSD, whose
2334	  behavior has diverged by requiring both to be present.
2335	+ remove leading blanks from comment-lines in manlinks.sed script to
2336	  work with Tru64 4.0d.
2337	+ add screen.linux terminfo entry (discussion on mutt-users mailing
2338	  list).
2339
234020031213
2341	+ add a check for tic to flag missing backslashes for termcap
2342	  continuation lines.  ncurses reads the whole entry, but termcap
2343	  applications do not.
2344	+ add configure option "--with-manpage-aliases" extending
2345	  "--with-manpage-aliases" to provide the option of generating ".so"
2346	  files rather than symbolic links for manpage aliases.
2347	+ add bool definition in include/curses.h.in for configurations with no
2348	  usable C++ compiler (cf: 20030607).
2349	+ fix pathname of SigAction.h for building with --srcdir (reported by
2350	  Mike Castle).
2351
235220031206
2353	+ folded ncurses/base/sigaction.c into includes of ncurses/SigAction.h,
2354	  since that header is used only within ncurses/tty/lib_tstp.c, for
2355	  non-POSIX systems (discussion with Stanislav Ievlev).
2356	+ remove obsolete _nc_outstr() function (report by Stanislav Ievlev
2357	  <inger@altlinux.org>).
2358	+ add test/background.c and test/color_set.c
2359	+ modify color_set() function to work with color pair 0 (report by
2360	  George Andreou <gbandreo@tem.uoc.gr>).
2361	+ add configure option --with-trace, since defining TRACE seems too
2362	  awkward for some cases.
2363	+ remove a call to _nc_free_termtype() from read_termtype(), since the
2364	  corresponding buffer contents were already zeroed by a memset (cf:
2365	  20000101).
2366	+ improve configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and related definitions,
2367	  adding special cases for Solaris' __EXTENSIONS__ and FreeBSD's
2368	  __BSD_TYPES (reports by Marc Glisse <marc.glisse@normalesup.org>).
2369	+ small fixes to compile on Solaris and IRIX64 using cc.
2370	+ correct typo in check for pre-POSIX sort options in MKkey_defs.sh
2371	  (cf: 20031101).
2372
237320031129
2374	+ modify _nc_gettime() to avoid a problem with arithmetic on unsigned
2375	  values (Philippe Blain).
2376	+ improve the nanosleep() logic in napms() by checking for EINTR and
2377	  restarting (Philippe Blain).
2378	+ correct expression for "%D" in lib_tgoto.c (Juha Jarvi
2379	  <mooz@welho.com>).
2380
238120031122
2382	+ add linux-vt terminfo entry (Andrey V Lukyanov <land@long.yar.ru>).
2383	+ allow "\|" escape in terminfo; tic should not warn about this.
2384	+ save the full pathname of the trace-file the first time it is opened,
2385	  to avoid creating it in different directories if the application
2386	  opens and closes it while changing its working directory.
2387	+ modify configure script to provide a non-empty default for
2388	  $BROKEN_LINKER
2389
239020031108
2391	+ add DJGPP to special case of DOS-style drive letters potentially
2392	  appearing in TERMCAP environment variable.
2393	+ fix some spelling in comments (reports by Jason McIntyre, Jonathon
2394	  Gray).
2395	+ update config.guess, config.sub
2396
239720031101
2398	+ fix a memory leak in error-return from setupterm() (report by
2399	  Stanislav Ievlev <inger@altlinux.org>).
2400	+ use EXEEXT and OBJEXT consistently in makefiles.
2401	+ amend fixes for cross-compiling to use separate executable-suffix
2402	  BUILD_EXEEXT (cf: 20031018).
2403	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for sort utility that does not
2404	  recognize key options, e.g., busybox (report by Peter S Mazinger
2405	  <ps.m@gmx.net>).
2406	+ fix potential out-of-bounds indexing in _nc_infotocap() (found by
2407	  David Krause using some of the new malloc debugging features
2408	  under OpenBSD, patch by Ted Unangst).
2409	+ modify CF_LIB_SUFFIX for Itanium releases of HP-UX, which use a
2410	  ".so" suffix (patch by Jonathan Ward <Jonathan.Ward@hp.com>).
2411
241220031025
2413	+ update terminfo for xterm-xfree86 -TD
2414	+ add check for multiple "tc=" clauses in a termcap to tic.
2415	+ check for missing op/oc in tic.
2416	+ correct _nc_resolve_uses() and _nc_merge_entry() to allow infocmp and
2417	  tic to show cancelled capabilities.  These functions were ignoring
2418	  the state of the target entry, which should be untouched if cancelled.
2419	+ correct comment in tack/output.c (Debian #215806).
2420	+ add some null-pointer checks to lib_options.c (report by Michael
2421	  Bienia).
2422	+ regenerated html documentation.
2423	+ correction to tar-copy.sh, remove a trap command that resulted in
2424	  leaving temporary files (cf: 20030510).
2425	+ remove contact/maintainer addresses for Juergen Pfeifer (his request).
2426
242720031018
2428	+ updated test/configure to reflect changes for libtool (cf: 20030830).
2429	+ fix several places in tack/pad.c which tested and used the parameter-
2430	  and parameterless strings inconsistently, i.e., in pad_rin(),
2431	  pad_il(), pad_indn() and pad_dl() (Debian #215805).
2432	+ minor fixes for configure script and makefiles to cleanup executables
2433	  generated when cross-compiling for DJGPP.
2434	+ modify infocmp to omit check for $TERM for operations that do not
2435	  require it, e.g., "infocmp -e" used to build fallback list (report by
2436	  Koblinger Egmont).
2437
243820031004
2439	+ add terminfo entries for DJGPP.
2440	+ updated note about maintainer in ncurses-intro.html
2441
244220030927
2443	+ update terminfo entries for gnome terminal.
2444	+ modify tack to reset colors after each color test, correct a place
2445	  where exit_standout_mode was used instead of exit_attribute_mode.
2446	+ improve tack's bce test by making it set colors other than black
2447	  on white.
2448	+ plug a potential recursion between napms() and _nc_timed_wait()
2449	  (report by Philippe Blain).
2450
245120030920
2452	+ add --with-rel-version option to allow workaround to allow making
2453	  libtool on Darwin generate the "same" library names as with the
2454	  --with-shared option.  The Darwin ld program does not work well
2455	  with a zero as the minor-version value (request by Chris Zubrzycki).
2456	+ modify CF_MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES macro to work with cross-compiling.
2457	+ modify tack to allow it to run from fallback terminfo data.
2458	> patch by Philippe Blain:
2459	+ improve PutRange() by adjusting call to EmitRange() and corresponding
2460	  return-value to not emit unchanged characters on the end of the
2461	  range.
2462	+ improve a check for changed-attribute by exiting a loop when the
2463	  change is found.
2464	+ improve logic in TransformLine(), eliminating a duplicated comparison
2465	  in the clr_bol logic.
2466
246720030913
2468	> patch by Philippe Blain:
2469	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
2470	  move the label 'nonlocal' just before the second gettimeofday() to
2471	  be able to compute the diff time when 'goto nonlocal' used.
2472	  Rename 'msec' to 'microsec' in the debug-message.
2473	+ in ncurses/tty/lib_mvcur.c,
2474	  Use _nc_outch() in carriage return/newline movement instead of
2475	  putchar() which goes to stdout.  Move test for xold>0 out of loop.
2476	+ in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c,
2477	  Set the flag SP->_buffered at the end of operations when all has been
2478	  successful (typeMalloc can fail).
2479	+ simplify NC_BUFFERED macro by moving check inside _nc_setbuf().
2480
248120030906
2482	+ modify configure script to avoid using "head -1", which does not
2483	  work if POSIXLY_CORRECT (sic) is set.
2484	+ modify run_tic.in to avoid using wrong shared libraries when
2485	  cross-compiling (Dan Kegel).
2486
248720030830
2488	+ alter configure script help message to make it clearer that
2489	  --with-build-cc does not specify a cross-compiler (suggested by Dan
2490	  Kegel <dank@kegel.com>).
2491	+ modify configure script to accommodate libtool 1.5, as well as add an
2492	  parameter to the "--with-libtool" option which can specify the
2493	  pathname of libtool (report by Chris Zubrzycki).  We note that
2494	  libtool 1.5 has more than one bug in its C++ support, so it is not
2495	  able to install libncurses++, for instance, if $DESTDIR or the option
2496	  --with-install-prefix is used.
2497
249820030823
2499	> patch by Philippe Blain:
2500	+ move assignments to SP->_cursrow, SP->_curscol into online_mvcur().
2501	+ make baudrate computation in delay_output() consistent with the
2502	  assumption in _nc_mvcur_init(), i.e., a byte is 9 bits.
2503
250420030816
2505	+ modify logic in waddch_literal() to take into account zh_TW.Big5
2506	  whose multibyte sequences may contain "printable" characters, e.g.,
2507	  a "g" in the sequence "\247g" (Debian #204889, cf: 20030621).
2508	+ improve storage used by _nc_safe_strcpy() by ensuring that the size
2509	  is reset based on the initialization call, in case it were called
2510	  after other strcpy/strcat calls (report by Philippe Blain).
2511	> patch by Philippe Blain:
2512	+ remove an unused ifdef for REAL_ATTR & WANT_CHAR
2513	+ correct a place where _cup_cost was used rather than _cuu_cost
2514
251520030809
2516	+ fix a small memory leak in _nc_free_termtype().
2517	+ close trace-file if trace() is called with a zero parameter.
2518	+ free memory allocated for soft-key strings, in delscreen().
2519	+ fix an allocation size in safe_sprintf.c for the "*" format code.
2520	+ correct safe_sprintf.c to not return a null pointer if the format
2521	  happens to be an empty string.  This applies to the "configure
2522	  --enable-safe-sprintf" option (Redhat #101486).
2523
252420030802
2525	+ modify casts used for ABSENT_BOOLEAN and CANCELLED_BOOLEAN (report by
2526	  Daniel Jacobowitz).
2527	> patch by Philippe Blain:
2528	+ change padding for change_scroll_region to not be proportional to
2529	  the size of the scroll-region.
2530	+ correct error-return in _nc_safe_strcat().
2531
253220030726
2533	+ correct limit-checks in _nc_scroll_window() (report and test-case by
2534	  Thomas Graf <graf@dms.at> cf: 20011020).
2535	+ re-order configure checks for _XOPEN_SOURCE to avoid conflict with
2536	  _GNU_SOURCE check.
2537
253820030719
2539	+ use clr_eol in preference to blanks for bce terminals, so select and
2540	  paste will have fewer trailing blanks, e.g., when using xterm
2541	  (request by Vincent Lefevre).
2542	+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.
2543	+ add configure --with-abi-version option (discussion with Charles
2544	  Wilson).
2545	> cygwin changes from Charles Wilson:
2546	  + aclocal.m4: on cygwin, use autodetected prefix for import
2547	    and static lib, but use "cyg" for DLL.
2548	  + include/ncurses_dll.h: correct the comments to reflect current
2549	    status of cygwin/mingw port.  Fix compiler warning.
2550	  + misc/run_tic.in: ensure that tic.exe can find the uninstalled
2551	    DLL, by adding the lib-directory to the PATH variable.
2552	  + misc/terminfo.src (nxterm|xterm-color): make xterm-color
2553	    primary instead of nxterm, to match XFree86's xterm.terminfo
2554	    usage and to prevent circular links.
2555	    (rxvt): add additional codes from rxvt.org.
2556	    (rxvt-color): new alias
2557	    (rxvt-xpm): new alias
2558	    (rxvt-cygwin): like rxvt, but with special acsc codes.
2559	    (rxvt-cygwin-native): ditto.  rxvt may be run under XWindows, or
2560	    with a "native" MSWin GUI.	Each takes different acsc codes,
2561	    which are both different from the "normal" rxvt's acsc.
2562	    (cygwin): cygwin-in-cmd.exe window.	 Lots of fixes.
2563	    (cygwinDBG): ditto.
2564	  + mk-1st.awk: use "cyg" for the DLL prefix, but "lib" for import
2565	    and static libs.
2566
256720030712
2568	+ update config.guess, config.sub
2569	+ add triples for configuring shared libraries with the Debian
2570	  GNU/FreeBSD packages (patch by Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>).
2571
257220030705
2573	+ modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS so it only applies to gcc, not g++.  Some
2574	  platforms have installed g++ along with the native C compiler, which
2575	  would not accept gcc warning options.
2576	+ add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 when configuring with --enable-widec, to
2577	  get mbstate_t declaration on HPUX 11.11 (report by David Ellement).
2578	+ add _nc_pathlast() to get rid of casts in _nc_basename() calls.
2579	+ correct a sign-extension in wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() from
2580	  20030628 (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
2581	+ work around omission of btowc() and wctob() from wide-character
2582	  support (sic) in NetBSD 1.6 using mbtowc() and wctomb() (report by
2583	  Gabor Z Papp).
2584	+ add portability note to curs_get_wstr.3x (Debian #199957).
2585
258620030628
2587	+ rewrite wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar() to call waddch() and wechochar()
2588	  respectively, to avoid calling waddch_noecho() with wide-character
2589	  data, since that function assumes its input is 8-bit data.
2590	  Similarly, modify waddnwstr() to call wadd_wch().
2591	+ remove logic from waddnstr() which transformed multibyte character
2592	  strings into wide-characters.  Rewrite of waddch_literal() from
2593	  20030621 assumes its input is raw multibyte data rather than wide
2594	  characters (report by Tomohiro Kubota).
2595
259620030621
2597	+ write getyx() and related 2-return macros in terms of getcury(),
2598	  getcurx(), etc.
2599	+ modify waddch_literal() in case an application passes bytes of a
2600	  multibyte character directly to waddch().  In this case, waddch()
2601	  must reassemble the bytes into a wide-character (report by Tomohiro
2602	  Kubota <kubota@debian.org>).
2603
260420030614
2605	+ modify waddch_literal() in case a multibyte value occupies more than
2606	  two cells.
2607	+ modify PutAttrChar() to compute the number of character cells that
2608	  are used in multibyte values.  This fixes a problem displaying
2609	  double-width characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen
2610	  <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
2611	+ add a null-pointer check for result of keyname() in _tracechar()
2612	+ modify _tracechar() to work around glibc sprintf bug.
2613
261420030607
2615	+ add a call to setlocale() in cursesmain.cc, making demo display
2616	  properly in a UTF-8 locale.
2617	+ add a fallback definition in curses.priv.h for MB_LEN_MAX (prompted
2618	  by discussion with Gabor Z Papp).
2619	+ use macros NCURSES_ACS() and NCURSES_WACS() to hide cast needed to
2620	  appease -Wchar-subscript with g++ 3.3 (Debian #195732).
2621	+ fix a redefinition of $RANLIB in the configure script when libtool
2622	  is used, which broke configure on Mac OS X (report by Chris Zubrzycki
2623	  <beren@mac.com>).
2624	+ simplify ifdef for bool declaration in curses.h.in (suggested by
2625	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
2626	+ remove configure script check to allow -Wconversion for older
2627	  versions of gcc (suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young).
2628
262920030531
2630	+ regenerated html manpages.
2631	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in that disabled use of __attribute__()
2632	  for g++, since recent versions implement the cases which ncurses uses
2633	  (Debian #195230).
2634	+ modify _nc_get_token() to handle a case where an entry has no
2635	  description, and capabilities begin on the same line as the entry
2636	  name.
2637	+ fix a typo in ncurses_dll.h reported by gcc 3.3.
2638	+ add an entry for key_defined.3x to man_db.renames.
2639
264020030524
2641	+ modify setcchar() to allow converting control characters to complex
2642	  characters (report/test by Mitsuru Chinen <mchinen@yamato.ibm.com>).
2643	+ add tkterm entry -TD
2644	+ modify parse_entry.c to allow a terminfo entry with a leading
2645	  2-character name (report by Don Libes).
2646	+ corrected acsc in screen.teraterm, which requires a PC-style mapping.
2647	+ fix trace statements in read_entry.c to use lseek() rather than
2648	  tell().
2649	+ fix signed/unsigned warnings from Sun's compiler (gcc should give
2650	  these warnings, but it is unpredictable).
2651	+ modify configure script to omit -Winline for gcc 3.3, since that
2652	  feature is broken.
2653	+ modify manlinks.sed to add a few functions that were overlooked since
2654	  they return function pointers:  field_init, field_term, form_init,
2655	  form_term, item_init, item_term, menu_init and menu_term.
2656
265720030517
2658	+ prevent recursion in wgetch() via wgetnstr() if the connection cannot
2659	  be switched between cooked/raw modes because it is not a TTY (report
2660	  by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.com>).
2661	+ change parameter of define_key() and key_defined() to const (prompted
2662	  by Debian #192860).
2663	+ add a check in test/configure for ncurses extensions, since there
2664	  are some older versions, etc., which would not compile with the
2665	  current test programs.
2666	+ corrected demo in test/ncurses.c of wgetn_wstr(), which did not
2667	  convert wchar_t string to multibyte form before printing it.
2668	+ corrections to lib_get_wstr.c:
2669	  + null-terminate buffer passed to setcchar(), which occasionally
2670	    failed.
2671	  + map special characters such as erase- and kill-characters into
2672	    key-codes so those will work as expected even if they are not
2673	    mentioned in the terminfo.
2674	+ modify PUTC() and Charable() macros to make wide-character line
2675	  drawing work for POSIX locale on Linux console (cf: 20021221).
2676
267720030510
2678	+ make typography for program options in manpages consistent (report
2679	  by Miloslav Trmac <mitr@volny.cz>).
2680	+ correct dependencies in Ada95/src/Makefile.in, so the builds with
2681	  "--srcdir" work (report by Warren L Dodge).
2682	+ correct missing definition of $(CC) in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in
2683	  (reported by Warren L Dodge <warrend@mdhost.cse.tek.com>).
2684	+ fix typos and whitespace in manpages (patch by Jason McIntyre
2685	  <jmc@prioris.mini.pw.edu.pl>).
2686
268720030503
2688	+ fix form_driver() cases for REQ_CLR_EOF, REQ_CLR_EOL, REQ_DEL_CHAR,
2689	  REQ_DEL_PREV and REQ_NEW_LINE, which did not ensure the cursor was at
2690	  the editing position before making modifications.
2691	+ add test/demo_forms and associated test/edit_field.c demos.
2692	+ modify test/configure.in to use test/modules for the list of objects
2693	  to compile rather than using the list of programs.
2694
269520030419
2696	+ modify logic of acsc to use the original character if no mapping is
2697	  defined, noting that Solaris does this.
2698	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to avoid using the acs_map[] array since
2699	  20021231 changes it to no longer contain information from the acsc
2700	  string.
2701	+ modify makefile rules in c++, progs, tack and test to ensure that
2702	  the compiler flags (e.g., $CFLAGS or $CCFLAGS) are used in the link
2703	  command (report by Jose Luis Rico Botella <informatica@serpis.com>).
2704	+ modify soft-key initialization to use A_REVERSE if A_STANDOUT would
2705	  not be shown when colors are used, i.e., if ncv#1 is set in the
2706	  terminfo as is done in "screen".
2707
270820030412
2709	+ add a test for slk_color(), in ncurses.c
2710	+ fix some issues reported by valgrind in the slk_set() and slk_wset()
2711	  code, from recent rewrite.
2712	+ modify ncurses 'E' test to use show previous label via slk_label(),
2713	  as in 'e' test.
2714	+ modify wide-character versions of NewChar(), NewChar2() macros to
2715	  ensure that the whole struct is initialized.
2716
271720030405
2718	+ modify setupterm() to check if the terminfo and terminal-modes have
2719	  already been read.  This ensures that it does not reinvoke
2720	  def_prog_mode() when an application calls more than one function,
2721	  such as tgetent() and initscr() (report by Olaf Buddenhagen).
2722
272320030329
2724	+ add 'E' test to ncurses.c, to exercise slk_wset().
2725	+ correct handling of carriage-return in wgetn_wstr(), used in demo of
2726	  slk_wset().
2727	+ first draft of slk_wset() function.
2728
272920030322
2730	+ improved warnings in tic when suppressing items to fit in termcap's
2731	  1023-byte limit.
2732	+ built a list in test/README showing which externals are being used
2733	  by either programs in the test-directory or via internal library
2734	  calls.
2735	+ adjust include-options in CF_ETIP_DEFINES to avoid missing
2736	  ncurses_dll.h, fixing special definitions that may be needed for
2737	  etip.h (reported by Greg Schafer <gschafer@zip.com.au>).
2738
273920030315
2740	+ minor fixes for cardfile.c, to make it write the updated fields to
2741	  a file when ^W is given.
2742	+ add/use _nc_trace_bufcat() to eliminate some fixed buffer limits in
2743	  trace code.
2744
274520030308
2746	+ correct a case in _nc_remove_string(), used by define_key(), to avoid
2747	  infinite loop if the given string happens to be a substring of other
2748	  strings which are assigned to keys (report by John McCutchan).
2749	+ add key_defined() function, to tell which keycode a string is bound
2750	  to (discussion with John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org>).
2751	+ correct keybound(), which reported definitions in the wrong table,
2752	  i.e., the list of definitions which are disabled by keyok().
2753	+ modify demo_keydef.c to show the details it changes, and to check
2754	  for errors.
2755
275620030301
2757	+ restructured test/configure script, make it work for libncursesw.
2758	+ add description of link_fieldtype() to manpage (report by
2759	  L Dee Holtsclaw <dee@sunbeltsoft.com>).
2760
276120030222
2762	+ corrected ifdef's relating to configure check for wchar_t, etc.
2763	+ if the output is a socket or other non-tty device, use 1 millisecond
2764	  for the cost in mvcur; previously it was 9 milliseconds because the
2765	  baudrate was not known.
2766	+ in _nc_get_tty_mode(), initialize the TTY buffer on error, since
2767	  glibc copies uninitialized data in that case, as noted by valgrind.
2768	+ modify tput to use the same parameter analysis as tparm() does, to
2769	  provide for user-defined strings, e.g., for xterm title, a
2770	  corresponding capability might be
2771		title=\E]2;%p1%s^G,
2772	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid passing "#" tokens through the C
2773	  preprocessor.  This works around Mac OS X's preprocessor, which
2774	  insists on adding a blank on each side of the token (report/analysis
2775	  by Kevin Murphy <murphy@genome.chop.edu>).
2776
277720030215
2778	+ add configure check for wchar_t and wint_t types, rather than rely
2779	  on preprocessor definitions.  Also work around for gcc fixinclude
2780	  bug which creates a shadow copy of curses.h if it sees these symbols
2781	  apparently typedef'd.
2782	+ if database is disabled, do not generate run_tic.sh
2783	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking when termcap is read.
2784
278520030208
2786	+ add checking in tic for incomplete line-drawing character mapping.
2787	+ update configure script to reflect fix for AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL,
2788	  which is broken in autoconf 2.5x for Mac OS X 10.2.3 (report by
2789	  Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl>).
2790	+ make return value from _nc_printf_string() consistent.  Before,
2791	  depending on whether --enable-safe-sprintf was used, it might not be
2792	  cached for reallocating.
2793
279420030201
2795	+ minor fixes for memory-leak checking in lib_tparm.c, hardscroll.c
2796	+ correct a potentially-uninitialized value if _read_termtype() does
2797	  not read as much data as expected (report by Wolfgang Rohdewald
2798	  <wr6@uni.de>).
2799	+ correct several places where the aclocal.m4 macros relied on cache
2800	  variable names which were incompatible (as usual) between autoconf
2801	  2.13 and 2.5x, causing the test for broken-linker to give incorrect
2802	  results (reports by Gerben Wierda <Sherlock@rna.nl> and Thomas Esser
2803	  <te@dbs.uni-hannover.de>).
2804	+ do not try to open gpm mouse driver if standard output is not a tty;
2805	  the gpm library does not make this check (bug report for dialog
2806	  by David Oliveira <davidoliveira@develop.prozone.ws>).
2807
280820030125
2809	+ modified emx.src to correspond more closely to terminfo.src, added
2810	  emx-base to the latter -TD
2811	+ add configure option for FreeBSD sysmouse, --with-sysmouse, and
2812	  implement support for that in lib_mouse.c, lib_getch.c
2813
281420030118
2815	+ revert 20030105 change to can_clear_with(), does not work for the
2816	  case where the update is made on cells which are blanks with
2817	  attributes, e.g., reverse.
2818	+ improve ifdef's to guard against redefinition of wchar_t and wint_t
2819	  in curses.h (report by Urs Jansen).
2820
282120030111
2822	+ improve mvcur() by checking if it is safe to move when video
2823	  attributes are set (msgr), and if not, reset/restore attributes
2824	  within that function rather than doing it separately in the GoTo()
2825	  function in tty_update.c (suggested by Philippe Blain).
2826	+ add a message in run_tic.in to explain more clearly what does not
2827	  work when attempting to create a symbolic link for /usr/lib/terminfo
2828	  on OS/2 and other platforms with no symbolic links (report by John
2829	  Polterak).
2830	+ change several sed scripts to avoid using "\+" since it is not a BRE
2831	  (basic regular expression).  One instance caused terminfo.5 to be
2832	  misformatted on FreeBSD (report by Kazuo Horikawa
2833	  <horikawa@FreeBSD.org> (see FreeBSD docs/46709)).
2834	+ correct misspelled 'wint_t' in curs_get_wch.3x (Michael Elkins).
2835
283620030105
2837	+ improve description of terminfo operators, especially static/dynamic
2838	  variables (comments by Mark I Manning IV <mark4th@earthlink.net>).
2839	+ demonstrate use of FIELDTYPE by modifying test/ncurses 'r' test to
2840	  use the predefined TYPE_ALPHA field-type, and by defining a
2841	  specialized type for the middle initial/name.
2842	+ fix MKterminfo.sh, another workaround for POSIXLY_CORRECT misfeature
2843	  of sed 4.0
2844	> patch by Philippe Blain:
2845	+ optimize can_clear_with() a little by testing first if the parameter
2846	  is indeed a "blank".
2847	+ simplify ClrBottom() a little by allowing it to use clr_eos to clear
2848	  sections as small as one line.
2849	+ improve ClrToEOL() by checking if clr_eos is available before trying
2850	  to use it.
2851	+ use tputs() rather than putp() in a few cases in tty_update.c since
2852	  the corresponding delays are proportional to the number of lines
2853	  affected: repeat_char, clr_eos, change_scroll_region.
2854
285520021231
2856	+ rewrite of lib_acs.c conflicts with copying of SCREEN acs_map to/from
2857	  global acs_map[] array; removed the lines that did the copying.
2858
285920021228
2860	+ change some overlooked tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp()
2861	  (report by Philippe Blain).
2862	+ modify lib_getch.c to avoid recursion via wgetnstr() when the input
2863	  is not a tty and consequently mode-changes do not work (report by
2864	  <R.Chamberlin@querix.com>).
2865	+ rewrote lib_acs.c to allow PutAttrChar() to decide how to render
2866	  alternate-characters, i.e., to work with Linux console and UTF-8
2867	  locale.
2868	+ correct line/column reference in adjust_window(), needed to make
2869	  special windows such as curscr track properly when resizing (report
2870	  by Lucas Gonze <lgonze@panix.com>).
2871	> patch by Philippe Blain:
2872	+ correct the value used for blank in ClrBottom() (broken in 20000708).
2873	+ correct an off-by-one in GoTo() parameter in _nc_scrolln().
2874
287520021221
2876	+ change several tputs() calls in scrolling code to use putp(), to
2877	  enable padding which may be needed for some terminals (patch by
2878	  Philippe Blain).
2879	+ use '%' as sed substitute delimiter in run_tic script to avoid
2880	  problems with pathname delimiters such as ':' and '@' (report by John
2881	  Polterak).
2882	+ implement a workaround so that line-drawing works with screen's
2883	  crippled UTF-8 support (tested with 3.9.13).  This only works with
2884	  the wide-character support (--enable-widec); the normal library will
2885	  simply suppress line-drawing when running in a UTF-8 locale in screen.
2886
288720021214
2888	+ allow BUILD_CC and related configure script variables to be
2889	  overridden from the environment.
2890	+ make build-tools variables in ncurses/Makefile.in consistent with
2891	  the configure script variables (report by Maciej W Rozycki).
2892	+ modify ncurses/modules to allow
2893		configure --disable-leaks --disable-ext-funcs
2894	  to build (report by Gary Samuelson).
2895	+ fix a few places in configure.in which lacked quotes (report by
2896	  Gary Samuelson <gary.samuelson@verizon.com>).
2897	+ correct handling of multibyte characters in waddch_literal() which
2898	  force wrapping because they are started too late on the line (report
2899	  by Sam Varshavchik).
2900	+ small fix for CF_GNAT_VERSION to ignore the help-message which
2901	  gnatmake adds to its version-message.
2902	> Maciej W Rozycki <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>:
2903	+ use AC_CHECK_TOOL to get proper values for AR and LD for cross
2904	  compiling.
2905	+ use $cross_compiling variable in configure script rather than
2906	  comparing $host_alias and $target alias, since "host" is
2907	  traditionally misused in autoconf to refer to the target platform.
2908	+ change configure --help message to use "build" rather than "host"
2909	  when referring to the --with-build-XXX options.
2910
291120021206
2912	+ modify CF_GNAT_VERSION to print gnatmake's version, and to allow for
2913	  possible gnat versions such as 3.2 (report by Chris Lingard
2914	  <chris@stockwith.co.uk>).
2915	+ modify #define's for CKILL and other default control characters in
2916	  tset to use the system's default values if they are defined.
2917	+ correct interchanged defaults for kill and interrupt characters
2918	  in tset, which caused it to report unnecessarily (Debian #171583).
2919	+ repair check for missing C++ compiler, which is broken in autoconf
2920	  2.5x by hardcoding it to g++ (report by Martin Mokrejs).
2921	+ update config.guess, config.sub (2002-11-30)
2922	+ modify configure script to skip --with-shared, etc., when the
2923	  --with-libtool option is given, since they would be ignored anyway.
2924	+ fix to allow "configure --with-libtool --with-termlib" to build.
2925	+ modify configure script to show version number of libtool, to help
2926	  with bug reports.  libtool still gets confused if the installed
2927	  ncurses libraries are old, since it ignores the -L options at some
2928	  point (tested with libtool 1.3.3 and 1.4.3).
2929	+ reorder configure script's updating of $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to
2930	  prevent -I options in the user's environment from introducing
2931	  conflicts with the build -I options (may be related to reports by
2932	  Patrick Ash and George Goffe).
2933	+ rename test/define_key.c to test/demo_defkey.c, test/keyok.c to
2934	  test/demo_keyok.c to allow building these with libtool.
2935
293620021123
2937	+ add example program test/define_key.c for define_key().
2938	+ add example program test/keyok.c for keyok().
2939	+ add example program test/ins_wide.c for wins_wch() and wins_wstr().
2940	+ modify wins_wch() and wins_wstr() to interpret tabs by using the
2941	  winsch() internal function.
2942	+ modify setcchar() to allow for wchar_t input strings that have
2943	  more than one spacing character.
2944
294520021116
2946	+ fix a boundary check in lib_insch.c (patch by Philippe Blain).
2947	+ change type for *printw functions from NCURSES_CONST to const
2948	  (prompted by comment by Pedro Palhoto Matos <plpm@mega.ist.utl.pt>,
2949	  but really from a note on X/Open's website stating that either is
2950	  acceptable, and the latter will be used in a future revision).
2951	+ add xterm-1002, xterm-1003 terminfo entries to demonstrate changes in
2952	  lib_mouse.c (20021026) -TD
2953	+ add screen-bce, screen-s entries from screen 3.9.13 (report by
2954	  Adam Lazur <zal@debian.org>) -TD
2955	+ add mterm terminfo entries -TD
2956
295720021109
2958	+ split-out useful fragments in terminfo for vt100 and vt220 numeric
2959	  keypad, i.e., vt100+keypad, vt100+pfkeys, vt100+fnkeys and
2960	  vt220+keypad.  The last as embedded in various entries had ka3 and
2961	  kb2 interchanged (report/discussion with Leonard den Ottolander
2962	  <leonardjo@hetnet.nl>).
2963	+ add check in tic for keypads consistent with vt100 layout.
2964	+ improve checks in tic for color capabilities
2965
296620021102
2967	+ check for missing/empty/illegal terminfo name in _nc_read_entry()
2968	  (report by Martin Mokrejs, where $TERM was set to an empty string).
2969	+ rewrote lib_insch.c, combining it with lib_insstr.c so both handle
2970	  tab and other control characters consistently (report by Philippe
2971	  Blain).
2972	+ remove an #undef for KEY_EVENT from curses.tail used in the
2973	  experimental NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS feature.  The #undef confuses
2974	  dpkg's build script (Debian #165897).
2975	+ fix MKlib_gen.sh, working around the ironically named POSIXLY_CORRECT
2976	  feature of GNU sed 4.0 (reported by Ervin Nemeth <airwin@inf.bme.hu>).
2977
297820021026
2979	+ implement logic in lib_mouse.c to handle position reports which are
2980	  generated when XFree86 xterm is initialized with private modes 1002
2981	  or 1003.  These are returned to the application as the
2982	  REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION mask, which was not implemented.  Tested both
2983	  with ncurses 'a' menu (prompted by discussion with Larry Riedel
2984	  <Larry@Riedel.org>).
2985	+ modify lib_mouse.c to look for "XM" terminfo string, which allows
2986	  one to override the escape sequence used to enable/disable mouse
2987	  mode.  In particular this works for XFree86 xterm private modes
2988	  1002 and 1003.  If "XM" is missing (note that this is an extended
2989	  name), lib_mouse uses the conventional private mode 1000.
2990	+ correct NOT_LOCAL() macro in lib_mvcur.c to refer to screen_columns
2991	  where it used screen_lines (report by Philippe Blain).
2992	+ correct makefile rules for the case when both --with-libtool and
2993	  --with-gpm are given (report by Mr E_T <troll@logi.net.au>).
2994	+ add note to terminfo manpage regarding the differences between
2995	  setaf/setab and setf/setb capabilities (report by Pavel Roskin).
2996
299720021019
2998	+ remove redundant initialization of TABSIZE in newterm(), since it is
2999	  already done in setupterm() (report by Philippe Blain).
3000	+ add test/inserts.c, to test winnstr() and winsch().
3001	+ replace 'sort' in dist.mk with script that sets locale to POSIX.
3002	+ update URLs in announce.html.in (patch by Frederic L W Meunier).
3003	+ remove glibc add-on files, which are no longer needed (report by
3004	  Frederic L W Meunier).
3005
300620021012 5.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
3007	+ modify ifdef's in etip.h.in to allow the etip.h header to compile
3008	  with gcc 3.2 (patch by Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy@is-vn.bg>).
3009	+ add logic to setupterm() to make it like initscr() and newterm(),
3010	  by checking for $NCURSES_TRACE environment variable and enabling
3011	  the debug trace in that case.
3012	+ modify setupterm() to ensure that it initializes the baudrate, for
3013	  applications such as tput (report by Frank Henigman).
3014	+ modify definition of bits used for command-line and library debug
3015	  traces to avoid overlap, using new definition TRACE_SHIFT to relate
3016	  the two.
3017	+ document tput's interpretation of parameterized strings according to
3018	  whether parameters are given, etc. (discussion with Robert De Bath).
3019
302020021005 pre-release
3021	+ correct winnwstr() to account for non-character cells generated when
3022	  a double-width character is added (report by Michael Bienia
3023	  <michael@vorlon.ping.de>).
3024	+ modify _nc_viswbuf2n() to provide better results using wctomb().
3025	+ correct logic in _nc_varargs() which broke tracing of parameters for
3026	  formats such as "%.*s".
3027	+ correct scale factor in linux-c and linux-c-nc terminfo entries
3028	  (report Floyd Davidson).
3029	+ change tic -A option to -t, add the same option to infocmp for
3030	  consistency.
3031	+ correct "%c" implementation in lib_tparm.c, which did not map a null
3032	  character to a 128 (cf: 980620) (patch by Frank Henigman
3033	  <fjhenigman@mud.cgl.uwaterloo.ca>).
3034
303520020928 pre-release
3036	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to check for POSIX sort -k option, use that if
3037	  it is found, to accommodate newer utility which dropped the
3038	  compatibility support for +number options (reported by Andrey A
3039	  Chernov).
3040	+ modify linux terminfo entry to use color palette feature from
3041	  linux-c-nc entry (comments by Tomasz Wasiak and Floyd Davidson).
3042	+ restore original color definitions in endwin() if init_color() was
3043	  used, and resume those colors on the next doupdate() or refresh()
3044	  (report by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@komputom.com.pl>).
3045	+ improve debug-traces by modifying MKlib_gen.sh to generate calls
3046	  to returnBool() and returnAttr().
3047	+ add/use _nc_visbufn() and _nc_viswbufn() to limit the debug trace
3048	  of waddnstr() and similar functions to match the parameters as used.
3049	+ add/use _nc_retrace_bool() and _nc_retrace_unsigned().
3050	+ correct type used by _nc_retrace_chtype().
3051	+ add debug traces to some functions in lib_mouse.c
3052	+ modify lib_addch.c to handle non-spacing characters.
3053	+ correct parameter of RemAttr() in lib_bkgd.c, which caused the c++
3054	  demo's boxes to lose the A_ALTCHARSET flag (broken in 20020629).
3055	+ correct width computed in _tracedump(), which did not account for
3056	  the attributes (broken in 20010602).
3057	+ modify test/tracemunch to replace addresses for windows other than
3058	  curscr, newscr and stdscr with window0, window1, etc.
3059
306020020921 pre-release
3061	+ redid fix for edit_man.sed path.
3062	+ workaround for Cygwin bug which makes subprocess writes to stdout
3063	  result in core dump.
3064	+ documented getbegx(), etc.
3065	+ minor fixes to configure script to use '%' consistently as a sed
3066	  delimiter rather than '@'.
3067	> patch by Philippe Blain:
3068	+ add check in lib_overlay.c to ensure that the windows to be merged
3069	  actually overlap, and in copywin(), limit the area to be touched
3070	  to the lines given for the destination window.
3071
307220020914 pre-release
3073	+ modified curses.h so that if the wide-character version is installed
3074	  overwriting /usr/include/curses.h, and if it relied on libutf8.h,
3075	  then applications that use that header for wide-character support
3076	  must define HAVE_LIBUTF8_H.
3077	+ modify putwin(), getwin() and dupwin() to allow them to operate on
3078	  pads (request by Philippe Blain).
3079	+ correct attribute-merging in wborder(), broken in 20020216 (report
3080	  by Tomasz Wasiak <tjwasiak@grubasek.komputom.com.pl>).
3081	> patch by Philippe Blain:
3082	+ corrected pop-counts in tparam_internal() to '!' and '~' cases.
3083	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in one place that used sizeof(chtype).
3084	+ remove some unused variables from mvcur test-driver.
3085
308620020907 pre-release
3087	+ change configure script to allow install of widec-character
3088	  (ncursesw) headers to overwrite normal (ncurses) headers, since the
3089	  latter is a compatible subset of the former.
3090	+ fix path of edit_man.sed in configure script, needed to regenerate
3091	  html manpages on Debian.
3092	+ fix mismatched enums in vsscanf.c, which caused warning on Solaris.
3093	+ update README.emx to reflect current patch used for autoconf.
3094	+ change web- and ftp-site to invisible-island.net
3095	> patch by Philippe Blain:
3096	+ change case for 'P' in tparam_internal() to indicate that it pops
3097	  a variable from the stack.
3098	+ correct sense of precision and width in parse_format(), to avoid
3099	  confusion.
3100	+ modify lib_tparm.c, absorb really_get_space() into get_space().
3101	+ modify getwin() and dupwin() to copy the _notimeout, _idlok and
3102	  _idcok window fields.
3103	+ better fix for _nc_set_type(), using typeMalloc().
3104
310520020901 pre-release
3106	+ change minor version to 3, i.e., ncurses 5.3
3107	+ update config.guess, config.sub
3108	+ retest build with each configure option; minor ifdef fixes.
3109	+ make keyname() return a null pointer rather than "UNKNOWN STRING" to
3110	  match XSI.
3111	+ modify handling of wide line-drawing character functions to use the
3112	  normal line-drawing characters when not in UTF-8 locale.
3113	+ add check/fix to comp_parse.c to suppress warning about missing acsc
3114	  string.  This happens in configurations where raw termcap information
3115	  is processed; tic already does this and other checks.
3116	+ modify tic's check for ich/ich1 versus rmir/smir to only warn about
3117	  ich1, to match xterm patch #70 notes.
3118	+ moved information for ripped-off lines into SCREEN struct to allow
3119	  use in resizeterm().
3120	+ add experimental wgetch_events(), ifdef'd with NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
3121	  (adapted from patch by Ilya Zakharevich - see ncurses/README.IZ).
3122	+ amend check in kgetch() from 20020824 to look only for function-keys,
3123	  otherwise escape sequences are not resolved properly.
3124	> patch by Philippe Blain:
3125	+ removed redundant assignment to SP->_checkfd from newterm().
3126	+ check return-value of setupterm() in restartterm().
3127	+ use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in a few places that used sizeof(chtype).
3128	+ prevent dupwin() from duplicating a pad.
3129	+ prevent putwin() from writing a pad.
3130	+ use typeRealloc() or typeMalloc() in preference to direct calls on
3131	  _nc_doalloc().
3132
313320020824
3134	+ add a check in kgetch() for cooked characters in the fifo to avoid
3135	  calling fifo_push() when a KEY_RESIZE is available (report/analysis
3136	  by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>).
3137	+ fix an overlooked case for bugzilla #68199 (Philippe Blain).
3138	+ ensure clearerr() is called before using ferror() e.g., in
3139	  lib_screen.c (report by Philippe Blain).
3140
314120020817
3142	+ modify lib_screen.c and lib_newwin.c to maintain the SCREEN-specific
3143	  pointers for curscr/stdscr/newscr when scr_save() and scr_restore()
3144	  modify the global curscr/stdscr/newscr variables.  Fixes Redhat
3145	  bugzilla #68199 dated 2002-07-07.
3146	+ add checks for null pointer in calls to tparm() and tgoto() based on
3147	  FreeBSD bug report.  If ncurses were built with termcap support, and
3148	  the first call to tgoto() were a zero-length string, the result would
3149	  be a null pointer, which was not handled properly.
3150	+ correct a typo in terminfo.head, which gave the octal code for colon
3151	  rather than comma.
3152	+ remove the "tic -u" option from 20020810, since it did not account
3153	  for nested "tc=" clauses, and when that was addressed, was still
3154	  unsatisfactory.
3155
315620020810
3157	+ add tic -A option to suppress capabilities which are commented out
3158	  when translating to termcap.
3159	+ add tic -u option to provide older behavior of "tc=" clauses.
3160	+ modified tic to expand all but the final "tc=" clause in a termcap
3161	  entry, to accommodate termcap libraries which do not handle multiple
3162	  tc clauses.
3163	+ correct typo in curs_inopts.3x regarding CS8/CS7 usage (report by
3164	  Philippe Blain).
3165	+ remove a couple of redundant uses of A_ATTRIBUTES in expressions
3166	  using AttrOf(), which already incorporates that mask (report by
3167	  Philippe Blain).
3168	+ document TABSIZE variable.
3169	+ add NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS environment variable, to allow users to
3170	  override compiled-in default black-on-white assumption used in
3171	  assume_default_colors().
3172	+ correct an off-by-one comparison against max_colors in COLORFGBG
3173	  logic.
3174	+ correct a use of uninitialized memory found by valgrind (reported by
3175	  Olaf Buddenhagen <olafBuddenhagen@web.de>).
3176	+ modified wresize() to ensure that a failed realloc will not corrupt
3177	  the window structure, and to make subwindows fit within the resized
3178	  window (completes Debian #87678, #101699)
3179
318020020803
3181	+ fix an off-by-one in lib_pad.c check for limits of pad (patch by
3182	  Philippe Blain).
3183	+ revise logic for BeOS in lib_twait.c altered in 20011013 to restore
3184	  logic used by lib_getch.c's support for GPM or EMX mouse (report by
3185	  Philippe Blain)
3186	+ remove NCURSES_CONST from several prototypes in curses.wide, to make
3187	  the --enable-const --enable-widec configure options to work together
3188	  (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@yahoo.com>).
3189
319020020727
3191	+ finish no-leak checking in cardfile.c, using this for testing changes
3192	  to resizeterm().
3193	+ simplify _nc_freeall() using delscreen().
3194
319520020720
3196	+ check error-return from _nc_set_tty_mode() in _nc_initscr() and
3197	  reset_prog_mode() (report/patch by Philippe Blain).
3198	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52, to address
3199	  problem with identifying C++ bool type.
3200	+ correct/improve logic to produce an exit status for errors in tput,
3201	  which did not exit with an error when told to put a string not in the
3202	  current terminfo entry (report by David Gomez <david@pleyades.net>).
3203	+ modify configure script AC_OUTPUT() call to work around defect in
3204	  autoconf 2.52 which adds an ifdef'd include to the generated
3205	  configure definitions.
3206	+ remove fstat() check from scr_init(), which also fixes a missing
3207	  include for <sys/stat.h> from 20020713 (reported by David Ellement,
3208	  fix suggested by Philippe Blain).
3209	+ update curs_scanw.3x manpage to note that XSI curses differs from
3210	  SVr4 curses: return-values are incompatible.
3211	+ correct several prototypes in manpages which used const
3212	  inconsistently with the curses.h file, and removed spurious const's
3213	  in a few places from curses.h, e.g., for wbkgd() (report by Glenn
3214	  Maynard <glenn@zewt.org>).
3215	+ change internal type used by tparm() to long, to work with LP64 model.
3216	+ modify nc_alloc.h to allow building with g++, for testing.
3217
321820020713
3219	+ add resize-handling to cardfile.c test program.
3220	+ altered resizeterm() to avoid having it fail when a child window
3221	  cannot be resized because it would be larger than its parent.  (More
3222	  work must be done on this, but it works well enough to integrate).
3223	+ improve a limit-check in lib_refresh.c
3224	+ remove check in lib_screen.c relating dumptime to file's modification
3225	  times, since that would not necessarily work for remotely mounted
3226	  filesystems.
3227	+ modify lrtest to simplify debugging changes to resizeterm, e.g.,
3228	  t/T commands to enable/disable tracing.
3229	+ updated status of multibyte support in TO-DO.
3230	+ update contact info in source-files (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
3231
323220020706
3233	+ add Caps.hpux11, as an example.
3234	+ modify version_filter(), used to implement -R option for tic and
3235	  infocmp, to use computed array offsets based on the Caps.* file which
3236	  is actually configured, rather than constants which correspond to
3237	  the Caps file.
3238	+ reorganized lib_raw.c to avoid updating SP and cur_term state if the
3239	  functions fail (reported by Philippe Blain).
3240	+ add -Wundef to gcc warnings, adjust a few ifdef's to accommodate gcc.
3241
324220020629
3243	+ correct parameters to setcchar() in ncurses.c (cf: 20020406).
3244	+ set locale in most test programs (view.c and ncurses.c were the
3245	  only ones).
3246	+ add configure option --with-build-cppflags (report by Maksim A
3247	  Nikulin <M.A.Nikulin@inp.nsk.su>).
3248	+ correct a typo in wide-character logic for lib_bkgnd.c (Philippe
3249	  Blain).
3250	+ modify lib_wacs.c to not cancel the acsc, smacs, rmacs strings when
3251	  in UTF-8 locale.  Wide-character functions use Unicode values, while
3252	  narrow-character functions use the terminfo data.
3253	+ fix a couple of places in Ada95/samples which did not compile with
3254	  gnat 3.14
3255	+ modify mkinstalldirs so the DOS-pathname case is locale-independent.
3256	+ fix locale problem in MKlib_gen.sh by forcing related variables to
3257	  POSIX (C), using same approach as autoconf (set variables only if
3258	  they were set before).  Update MKterminfo.sh and MKtermsort.sh to
3259	  match.
3260
326120020622
3262	+ add charset to generated html.
3263	+ add mvterm entry, adapted from a FreeBSD bug-report by Daniel Rudy
3264	  <dcrudy@pacbell.net> -TD
3265	+ add rxvt-16color, ibm+16color entries -TD
3266	+ modify check in --disable-overwrite option so that it is used by
3267	  default unless the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr, in attempt to
3268	  work around packagers, e.g., for Sun's freeware, who do not read the
3269	  INSTALL notes.
3270
327120020615
3272	+ modify wgetch() to allow returning ungetch'd KEY_RESIZE as a function
3273	  key code in get_wch().
3274	+ extended resize-handling in test/ncurses 'a' menu to the entire
3275	  stack of windows created with 'w' commands.
3276	+ improve $COLORFGBG feature by interpreting an out-of-range color
3277	  value as an SGR 39 or 49, for foreground/background respectively.
3278	+ correct a typo in configure --enable-colorfgbg option, and move it
3279	  to the experimental section (cf: 20011208).
3280
328120020601
3282	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to remove function-key definitions that do
3283	  not fit into the 1023-byte limit for generated termcaps.  This makes
3284	  hds200 fit.
3285	+ more improvements to tic's warnings, including logic to ignore
3286	  differences between delay values in sgr strings.
3287	+ move definition of KEY_RESIZE into MKkeydefs.sh script, to
3288	  accommodate Caps.osf1r5 which introduced a conflicting definition.
3289
329020020525
3291	+ add simple resize-handling in test/ncurses.c 'a' menu.
3292	+ fixes in keyname() and _tracechar() to handle negative values.
3293	+ make tic's warnings about mismatches in sgr strings easier to follow.
3294	+ correct tic checks for number of parameters in smgbp and smglp.
3295	+ improve scoansi terminfo entry, and add scoansi-new entry -TD
3296	+ add pcvt25-color terminfo entry -TD
3297	+ add kf13-kf48 strings to cons25w terminfo entry (reported by Stephen
3298	  Hurd <deuce@lordlegacy.org> in newsgroup lucky.freebsd.bugs) -TD
3299	+ add entrypoint _nc_trace_ttymode(), use this to distinguish the
3300	  Ottyb and Nttyb members of terminal (aka cur_term), for tracing.
3301
330220020523
3303	+ correct and simplify logic for lib_pad.c change in 20020518 (reported
3304	  by Mike Castle).
3305
330620020518
3307	+ fix lib_pad.c for case of drawing a double-width character which
3308	  falls off the left margin of the pad (patch by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij
3309	  <lerdsuwa@users.sourceforge.net>)
3310	+ modify configure script to work around broken gcc 3.1 "--version"
3311	  option, which adds unnecessary trash to the requested information.
3312	+ adjust ifdef's in case SIGWINCH is not defined, e.g., with DJGPP
3313	  (reported by Ben Decker <deckerben@freenet.de>).
3314
331520020511
3316	+ implement vid_puts(), vid_attr(), term_attrs() based on the narrow-
3317	  character versions as well.
3318	+ implement erasewchar(), killwchar() based on erasechar() and
3319	  killchar().
3320	+ modify erasechar() and killchar() to return ERR if the value was
3321	  VDISABLE.
3322	+ correct a bug in wresize() in handling subwindows (based on patch by
3323	  Roger Gammans <rgammans@computer-surgery.co.uk>, report by Scott Beck
3324	  <scott@gossamer-threads.com>).
3325	+ improve test/tclock.c by making the second-hand update more often
3326	  if gettimeofday() is available.
3327
332820020429
3329	+ workaround for Solaris sed with MKlib_gen.sh (reported by Andy
3330	  Tsouladze <andyt@mypoints.com>).
3331
333220020427
3333	+ correct return-value from getcchar(), making it consistent with
3334	  Solaris and Tru64.
3335	+ reorder loops that generate makefile rules for different models vs
3336	  subsets so configure --with-termlib works again.  This was broken by
3337	  logic added to avoid duplicate rules in changes to accommodate cygwin
3338	  dll's (reported by George.R.Goffe@seagate.com).
3339	+ update config.guess, config.sub
3340
334120020421
3342	+ modify ifdef's in write_entry.c to allow use of symbolic links on
3343	  platforms with no hard links, e.g., BeOS.
3344	+ modify a few includes to allow compile with BeOS, which has stdbool.h
3345	  with a conflicting definition for 'bool' versus its OS.h definition.
3346	+ amend MKlib_gen.sh to work with gawk, which defines 'func' as an
3347	  alias for 'function'.
3348
334920020420
3350	+ correct form of prototype for ripoffline().
3351	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to test that all functions marked as implemented
3352	  can be linked.
3353
335420020413
3355	+ add manpages: curs_get_wstr.3x, curs_in_wchstr.3x
3356	+ implement wgetn_wstr().
3357	+ implement win_wchnstr().
3358	+ remove redefinition of unget_wch() in lib_gen.c (reported by
3359	  Jungshik Shin <jshin@jtan.com>).
3360
336120020406
3362	+ modified several of the test programs to allow them to compile with
3363	  vendor curses implementations, e.g., Solaris, AIX -TD
3364
336520020323
3366	+ modified test/configure to allow configuring against ncursesw.
3367	+ change WACS_xxx definition to use address, to work like Tru64 curses.
3368
336920020317
3370	+ add 'e' and 'm' toggles to 'a', 'A' tests in ncurses.c to demonstrate
3371	  effect of echo/noecho and meta modes.
3372	+ add 'A' test to ncurses.c to demonstrate wget_wch() and related
3373	  functions.
3374	+ add manpage: curs_get_wch.3x
3375	+ implement unget_wch().
3376	+ implement wget_wch().
3377
337820020310
3379	+ regenerated html manpages.
3380	+ add manpages: curs_in_wch.3x, curs_ins_wch.3x, curs_ins_wstr.3x
3381	+ implement wins_wch().
3382	+ implement win_wch().
3383	+ implement wins_nwstr(), wins_wstr().
3384
338520020309
3386	+ add manpages: curs_addwstr.3x, curs_winwstr.3x
3387	+ implement winnwstr(), winwstr().
3388
338920020223
3390	+ add manpages: curs_add_wchstr.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x
3391	+ document wunctrl, key_name.
3392	+ implement key_name().
3393	+ remove const's in lib_box.c incorrectly leftover after splitting off
3394	  lib_box_set.c
3395	+ update llib-lncurses, llib-ncursesw, fix configure script related to
3396	  these.
3397
339820020218
3399	+ remove quotes on "SYNOPSIS" in man/curs_box_set.3x, which resulted
3400	  in spurious symlinks on install.
3401
340220020216
3403	+ implement whline_set(), wvline_set(), add manpage curs_border_set.
3404	+ add subtest 'b' to 'F' and 'f' in ncurses.c to demonstrate use of
3405	  box() and box_set() functions.
3406	+ add subtest 'u' to 'F' in ncurses.c, to demonstrate use of addstr()
3407	  given UTF-8 string equivalents of WACS_xxx symbols.
3408	+ minor fixes to several manpages based on groff -ww output.
3409	+ add descriptions of external variables of termcap interface to
3410	  the manpage (report by Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au>).
3411	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
3412	+ correct configure option --with-bool, which was executed as
3413	  --with-ospeed.
3414	+ add quotes for parameters of --with-bool and --with-ospeed configure
3415	  options.
3416	> patch by Sven Verdoolaege (report by Gerhard Haering
3417	  <haering_linux@gmx.de>):
3418	+ correct typos in definitions of several wide-character macros:
3419	  waddwstr, wgetbkgrnd, mvaddwstr, mvwadd_wchnstr, mvwadd_wchnstr,
3420	  mvwaddwstr.
3421	+ pass $(CPPFLAGS) to MKlib_gen.sh, thereby fixing a missing definition
3422	  of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, e.g., on Solaris
3423
342420020209
3425	+ implement wide-acs characters for UTF-8 locales.  When in UTF-8
3426	  locale, ignore narrow version of acs.  Add 'F' test to test/ncurses.c
3427	  to demonstrate.
3428	+ correct prototype in keybound manpage (noted from a Debian mailing
3429	  list item).
3430
343120020202
3432	+ add several cases to the wscanw() example in testcurs.c, showing the
3433	  format.
3434	+ implement a simple vsscanf() fallback function which uses the %n
3435	  conversion to help parse the input data (prompted by discussion with
3436	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
3437	+ modify mk-1st.awk and test/Makefile.in to add $(LDFLAGS) when making
3438	  shared libraries, and to use $(CFLAGS) when linking test programs
3439	  (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
3440	+ add a call to _nc_keypad() in keypad() to accommodate applications
3441	  such as nvi, which use curses for output but not for input (fixes
3442	  Debian #131263, cf: 20011215).
3443	+ add entrypoints to resizeterm.c which provide better control over the
3444	  process:  is_term_resized() and resize_term().  The latter restores
3445	  the original design of resizeterm() before KEY_RESIZE was added in
3446	  970906.  Do this to accommodate 20010922 changes to view.c, but allow
3447	  for programs with their own sigwinch handler, such as lynx (reported
3448	  by Russell Ruby <russ@math.orst.edu>).
3449
345020020127
3451	+ fix a typo in change to mk-1st.awk, which broke the shared-library
3452	  makefile rules (reported by Martin Mokrejs).
3453
345420020126
3455	+ update config.guess, config.sub
3456	+ finish changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
3457	+ fix a typo in mvwchat() macro (reported by Cy <yam@homerow.net).
3458
345920020119
3460	+ add case in lib_baudrate.c for B921600 (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
3461	+ correct missing sed-editing stage in manpage installs which is used
3462	  to rename manpages, broken in 20010324 fix for Debian #89939 (Debian
3463	  #78866).
3464	+ remove -L$(libdir) from linker flags, probably not needed any more
3465	  since HPUX is handled properly (reported by Niibe Yutaka
3466	  <gniibe@m17n.org>).
3467	+ add configure check for mbstate_t, needed for wide-character
3468	  configuration.  On some platforms we must include <wchar.h> to
3469	  define this (reported by Daniel Jacobowitz).
3470	+ incorporate some of the changes needed to build dll's on cygwin.
3471
347220020112a
3473	+ workaround for awk did not work with mawk, adjusted shell script.
3474
347520020112
3476	+ add Caps.osf1r5, as an example.
3477	+ modify behavior of can_clear_with() so that if an application is
3478	  running in a non-bce terminals with default colors enabled, it
3479	  returns true, allowing the user to select/paste text without picking
3480	  up extraneous trailing blanks (adapted from patch by Daniel
3481	  Jacobowitz <dmj+@andrew.cmu.edu>).
3482	+ modify generated curses.h to ifdef-out prototypes for extensions if
3483	  they are disabled, and to define curses_version() as a string in that
3484	  case.  This is needed to make the programs such as tic build in that
3485	  configuration.
3486	+ modified generated headers.sh to remove a gzip'd version of the
3487	  target file if it exists, in case non-gzip'd manpages are installed
3488	  into a directory where gzip'd ones exist.  In that case, the latter
3489	  would be found.
3490	+ corrected a redundant initialization of signal handlers from 20010922
3491	  changes.
3492	+ clarified bug-reporting address in terminfo.src (report by John H
3493	  DuBois III <spcecdt@armory.com>).
3494	> several fixes from Robert Joop:
3495	+ do not use "-v" option of awk in MKkey_defs.sh because it does not
3496	  work with SunOS nawk.
3497	+ modify definitions for libutf8 in curses.h to avoid redefinition
3498	  warnings for mblen
3499	+ quoted references to compiler in shell command in misc/Makefile, in
3500	  case it uses multiple tokens.
3501
350220011229
3503	+ restore special case from 20010922 changes to omit SA_RESTART when
3504	  setting up SIGWINCH handler, which is needed to allow wgetch() to be
3505	  interrupted by that signal.
3506	+ update configure macro CF_WITH_PATHLIST, to omit some double quotes
3507	  not needed with autoconf 2.52
3508	+ revert configure script to autoconf 2.13 patched with
3509		autoconf-2.13-19990117.patch.gz (or later)
3510	  from
3511		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
3512	  because autoconf 2.52 macro AC_PROG_AWK does not work on HPUX 11.0
3513	  (report by David Ellement <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).  This also fixes a
3514	  different problem configuring with Mac OS X (reported by Marc Smith
3515	  <marc.a.smith@home.com>).
3516
351720011222
3518	+ modify include/edit_cfg.h to eliminate BROKEN_LINKER symbol from
3519	  term.h
3520	+ move prototype for _nc_vsscanf() into curses.h.in to omit
3521	  HAVE_VSSCANF symbol from curses.h, which was dependent upon the
3522	  ncurses_cfg.h file which is not installed.
3523	+ use ACS_LEN rather than SIZEOF(acs_map) in trace code of lib_acs.c,
3524	  to work with broken linker configuration, e.g., cygwin (report by
3525	  Robert Joop <rj@rainbow.in-berlin.de>).
3526	+ make napms() call _nc_timed_wait() rather than poll() or select(),
3527	  to work around broken implementations of these on cygwin.
3528
352920011218
3530	+ drop configure macro CF_WIDEC_SHIFT, since that was rendered obsolete
3531	  by Sven Verdoolaege's rewrite of wide-character support.  This makes
3532	  libncursesw incompatible again, but makes the header files almost the
3533	  same as in the narrow-character configuration.
3534	+ simplify definitions that combine wide/narrow versions of bkgd, etc.,
3535	  to eliminate differences between the wide/narrow versions of curses.h
3536	+ correct typo in configure macro CF_FUNC_VSSCANF
3537	+ correct location of call to _nc_keypad() from 20011215 changes which
3538	  prevented keypad() from being disabled (reported by Lars Hecking).
3539
354020011215
3541	+ rewrote ncurses 'a' test to exercise wgetch() and keypad() functions
3542	  better, e.g., by adding a 'w' command to create new windows which
3543	  may have different keypad() settings.
3544	+ corrected logic of keypad() by adding internal screen state to track
3545	  whether the terminal's keypad-mode has been set.  Use this in
3546	  wgetch() to update the keypad-mode according to whether the
3547	  associated window's keypad-mode has been set with keypad().  This
3548	  corrects a related problem restoring terminal state after handling
3549	  SIGTSTP (reported by Mike Castle).
3550	+ regenerate configure using patch for autoconf 2.52
3551		autoconf-2.52-patch.gz
3552	  at
3553		ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/
3554	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
3555		http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/
3556	+ minor changes to quoting in configure script to allow it to work
3557	  with autoconf 2.52
3558
355920011208
3560	+ modify final checks in lib_setup.c for line and col values, making
3561	  them independent.
3562	+ modify acs_map[] if configure --broken-linker is specified, to make
3563	  it use a function rather than an array (prompted by an incorrect
3564	  implementation in cygwin package).
3565	+ correct spelling of configure option --enable-colorfgbg, which
3566	  happened to work if --with-develop was set (noted in cygwin package
3567	  for ncurses).
3568	+ modify ifdef for genericerror() to compile with SUNWspro Sun WorkShop
3569	  6 update 1 C++ 5.2 (patch by Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>).
3570	+ add configure checks to see if ncurses' fallback vsscanf() will
3571	  compile either of the special cases for FILE structs, and if not,
3572	  force it to the case which simply returns an error (report by
3573	  Sullivan N Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu> indicates that Solaris 8 with
3574	  64-bits does not allow access to FILE's fields).
3575	+ modify ifdef's for c++/cursesw.cc to use the fallback vsscanf() in
3576	  the ncurses library if no better substitute for this can be found
3577	  in the C++ runtime.
3578	+ modify the build to name dynamic libraries according to the
3579	  convention used on OS X and Darwin.  Rather than something like
3580	  libncurses.dylib.5.2, Darwin would name it libncurses.  5.dylib.
3581	  There are a few additional minor fixes, such as setting the library
3582	  version and compatibility version numbers (patch by Jason Evans
3583	  <jevans@apple.com>).
3584	+ use 'sh' to run mkinstalldirs, to work around problems with buggy
3585	  versions of 'make' on OS/2 (report by John Polterak <jp@eyup.org>).
3586	+ correct typo in manpage description of curs_set() (Debian #121548).
3587	+ replace the configure script existence-check for mkstemp() by one
3588	  that checks if the function works, needed for older glibc and
3589	  AmigaOS.
3590
359120011201
3592	+ modify script that generates fallbacks.c to compile a temporary
3593	  copy of the terminfo source in case the host does not contain all of
3594	  the entries requested for fallbacks (request by Greg Roelofs).
3595	+ modify configure script to accommodate systems such as Mac OS X whose
3596	  <stdbool.h> header defines a 'bool' type inconsistent with ncurses,
3597	  which normally makes 'bool' consistent with C++.  Include <stdbool.h>
3598	  from curses.h to force consistent usage, define a new type
3599	  NCURSES_BOOL and related that to the exported 'bool' as either a
3600	  typedef or definition, according to whether <stdbool.h> is present
3601	  (based on a bug report for tin 1.5.9 by Aaron Adams <adamsa@mac.com>).
3602
360320011124
3604	+ added/updated terminfo entries for M$ telnet and KDE konsole -TD
3605
360620011117
3607	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
3608	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
3609	+ add putty terminfo entry -TD
3610	+ if configuring for wide-curses, define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, since
3611	  this may not otherwise be defined to make test/view.c compile.
3612
361320011110
3614	+ review/correct several missing/generated items in curses.wide, sorted
3615	  the lists to make subsequent diff's easier to track.
3616
361720011103
3618	+ add manual pages for add_wch(), echo_wchar(), getcchar(),
3619	  mvadd_wch(), mvwadd_wch(), setcchar(), wadd_wch() and wecho_wchar().
3620	+ implement wecho_wchar()
3621	+ modify _tracedump() to handle wide-characters by mapping them to '?'
3622	  and control-characters to '.', to make the trace file readable.  Also
3623	  dynamically allocate the buffer used by _tracedump() for formatting
3624	  the results.
3625	+ modify T_CALLED/T_RETURN macros to ease balancing call/return lines
3626	  in a trace by using curly braces.
3627	+ implement _nc_viscbuf(), for tracing cchar_t arrays.
3628	+ correct trace-calls in setcchar() and getcchar() functions, which
3629	  traced the return values but not the entry to each function.
3630	+ correct usage message in test/view.c, which still mentioned -u flag.
3631
363220011027
3633	+ modify configure script to allow building with termcap only, or with
3634	  fallbacks only.  In this case, we do not build tic and toe.
3635	+ add configure --with-termpath option, to override default TERMPATH
3636	  value of /etc/termcap:/usr/share/misc/termcap.
3637	+ cosmetic change to tack: make menu descriptions agree with menu
3638	  titles.
3639
364020011020
3641	+ rewrote limit-checks in wscrl() and associated _nc_scroll_window(),
3642	  to ensure that if the parameter of wscrl() is larger than the size of
3643	  the scrolling region, then the scrolling region will be cleared
3644	  (report by Ben Kohlen <bckohlen@yahoo.com>).
3645	+ add trace/varargs.c, using this to trace parameters in lib_printw.c
3646	+ implement _tracecchar_t2() and _tracecchar_t().
3647	+ split-out trace/visbuf.c
3648	+ correct typo in lib_printw.c changes from 20010922 (report by Mike
3649	  Castle).
3650
365120011013
3652	+ modify run_tic.sh to check if the build is a cross-compile.  In that
3653	  case, do not use the build's tic to install the terminfo database
3654	  (report by Rafael Rodriguez Velilla <rrv@tid.es>).
3655	+ modify mouse click resolution so that mouseinterval(-1) will disable
3656	  it, e.g., to handle touchscreens via a slow connection (request by
3657	  Byron Stanoszek <gandalf@winds.org>).
3658	+ correct mouseinterval() default value shown in curs_mouse.3x
3659	+ remove conflicting definition of mouse_trafo() (reported by Lars
3660	  Hecking, using gcc 2.95.3).
3661
366220011001
3663	+ simpler fix for signal_name(), to replace the one overlooked in
3664	  20010929 (reported by Larry Virden).
3665
366620010929
3667	+ add -i option to view.c, to test ncurses' check for non-default
3668	  signal handler for SIGINT, etc.
3669	+ add cases for shared-libraries on Darwin/OS X (patch by Rob Braun
3670	  <bbraun@synack.net>).
3671	+ modify tset to restore original I/O modes if an error is encountered.
3672	  Also modify to use buffered stderr consistently rather than mixing
3673	  with write().
3674	+ change signal_name() function to use if-then-else rather than case
3675	  statement, since signal-values aren't really integers (reported by
3676	  Larry Virden).
3677	+ add limit checks in wredrawln(), fixing a problem where lynx was
3678	  repainting a pad which was much larger than the screen.
3679
368020010922
3681	+ fix:  PutRange() was counting the second part of a wide character as
3682	  part of a run, resulting in a cursor position that was one too far
3683	  (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
3684	+ modify resizeterm() to not queue a KEY_RESIZE if there was no
3685	  SIGWINCH, thereby separating the two styles of SIGWINCH handling
3686	  in test/view.c
3687	+ simplified lib_tstp.c, modify it to use SA_RESTART flag for SIGWINCH.
3688	+ eliminate several static buffers in the terminfo compiler, using
3689	  allocated buffers.
3690	+ modify MKkeyname.awk so that keyname() does not store its result into
3691	  a static buffer that is overwritten by the next call.
3692	+ reorganize the output of infocmp -E and -e options to compile cleanly
3693	  with gcc -Wwrite-strings warnings.
3694	+ remove redefinition of chgat/wchgat/mvwchgat from curses.wide
3695
369620010915
3697	+ add label to test/view.c, showing the name of the last key or signal
3698	  that made the screen repaint, to make it clearer when a sigwinch
3699	  does this.
3700	+ use ExitProgram() consistently in the test-programs to make it
3701	  simpler to test leaks with dmalloc, etc.
3702	+ move hashtab static data out of hashmap.c into SCREEN struct.
3703	+ make NO_LEAK code compile with revised WINDOWLIST structs.
3704
370520010908
3706	+ modify tgetent() to check if exit_attribute_mode resets the alternate
3707	  character set, and if so, attempt to adjust the copy of the termcap
3708	  "me" string which it will return to eliminate that part.  In
3709	  particular, 'screen' would lose track of line-drawing characters
3710	  (report by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>, analysis by
3711	  Michael Schroeder).
3712
371320010901
3714	+ specify DOCTYPE in html manpages.
3715	+ add missing macros for several "generated" functions:  attr_get(),
3716	  attr_off(), attr_on(), attr_set(), chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat() and
3717	  mouse_trafo().
3718	+ modify view.c to agree with non-experimental status of ncurses'
3719	  sigwinch handler:
3720	  + change the sense of the -r option, making it default to ncurses'
3721	    sigwinch handler.
3722	  + add a note explaining what functions are unsafe in a signal
3723	    handler.
3724	  + add a -c option, to set color display, for testing.
3725	+ unset $data variable in MKterminfo.sh script, to address potential
3726	  infinite loop if shell malfunction (report by Samuel Mikes
3727	  <smikes@cubane.com>, for bash 2.05.0 on a Linux 2.0.36 system).
3728	+ change kbs in mach terminfo entries to ^?  (Marcus Brinkmann
3729	  <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>).
3730	+ correct logic for COLORFGBG environment variable: if rxvt is compiled
3731	  with xpm support, the variable has three fields, making it slightly
3732	  incompatible with itself.  In either case, the background color is
3733	  the last field.
3734
373520010825
3736	+ move calls to def_shell_mode() and def_prog_mode() before loop with
3737	  callbacks in lib_set_term.c, since the c++ demo otherwise initialized
3738	  the tty modes before saving them (patch by John David Anglin
3739	  <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>).
3740	+ duplicate logic used to initialize trace in newterm(), in initscr()
3741	  to avoid confusing trace of initscr().
3742	+ simplify allocation of WINDOW and WINDOWLIST structs by making the
3743	  first a part of the second rather than storing a pointer.  This saves
3744	  a call to malloc for each window (discussion with Philippe Blain).
3745	+ remove unused variable 'used_ncv' from lib_vidattr.c (Philippe
3746	  Blain).
3747	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to accommodate archive programs that are
3748	  different for C++ than for C, and add cases for vendor's C++
3749	  compilers on Solaris and IRIX (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
3750	+ correct manpage description of criteria for deciding if the terminal
3751	  supports xterm mouse controls.
3752	+ add several configure script options to aid with cross-compiling:
3753	  --with-build-cc, --with-build-cflags, --with-build-ldflags, and
3754	  --with-build-libs (request by Greg Roelofs).
3755	+ change criteria for deciding if configure is cross-compiling from
3756	  host/build mismatch to host/target mismatch (request by Greg Roelofs
3757	  <greg.roelofs@philips.com>).
3758	+ correct logic for infocmp -e and -E options which writes the data for
3759	  the ext_Names[] array.  This is needed if one constructs a fallback
3760	  table for a terminfo entry which uses extended termcap names, e.g.,
3761	  AX in a color xterm.
3762	+ fix undefined NCURSES_PATHSEP when configure --disable-database
3763	  option is given.
3764
376520010811
3766	+ fix for VALID_BOOLEAN() macro when char is not signed.
3767	+ modify 'clean' rule for C++ binding to work with Sun compiler, which
3768	  caches additional information in a subdirectory of the objects.
3769	+ added llib-ncursesw.
3770
377120010804
3772	+ add Caps.keys example for experimental extended function keys
3773	  (adapted from a patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
3774	+ correct parameter types of vidputs() and vidattr() to agree with
3775	  header files (report by William P Setzer).
3776	+ fix typos in several man-pages (patch by William P Setzer).
3777	+ remove unneeded ifdef for __GNUG__ in CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC configure
3778	  macro, which made ncurses C++ binding fail to build with other
3779	  C++ compilers such as HPUX 11.x (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
3780	+ workaround for bug in HPUX 11.x C compiler: add a blank after
3781	  NCURSES_EXPORT macro in form.h (report by Albert Chin-A-Young)
3782	+ ignore blank lines in Caps* files in MKkey_defs.sh script (report by
3783	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
3784	+ correct definition of key_end in Caps.aix4, which left KEY_END
3785	  undefined (report by Albert Chin-A-Young).
3786	+ remove a QNX-specific fallback prototype for vsscanf(), which is
3787	  obsolete with QNX RTP.
3788	+ review/fix some of the T() and TR() macro calls, having noticed that
3789	  there was no data for delwin() in a trace of dialog because there was
3790	  no returnVoid call for wtimeout().  Also, traces in lib_twait.c are
3791	  now selected under TRACE_IEVENT rather than TRACE_CALLS.
3792
379320010728
3794	+ add a _nc_access() check before opening files listed via $TERMPATH.
3795	+ using modified man2html, regenerate some of the html manpages to fix
3796	  broken HREF's where the link was hyphenated.
3797
379820010721
3799	+ add some limit/pointer checks to -S option of tputs.
3800	+ updated/expanded Apple_Terminal and Darwin PowerPC terminfo entries
3801	  (Benjamin C W Sittler).
3802	+ add a note in curs_termcap.3x regarding a defect in the XSI
3803	  description of tgetent (based on a discussion with Urs Jansen
3804	  regarding the HPUX 11.x implementation, whose termcap interface is
3805	  not compatible with existing termcap programs).
3806	+ modify manhtml rule in dist.mk to preserve copyright notice on the
3807	  generated files, as well as to address HTML style issues reported by
3808	  tidy and weblint.  Regenerated/updated corresponding html files.
3809	+ comment out use of Protected_Character and related rarely used
3810	  attributes in ncurses Ada95 test/demo to compile with wide-character
3811	  configuration.
3812
381320010714
3814	+ implement a simple example in C++ demo to test scanw().
3815	+ corrected stdio function used to implement scanw() in cursesw.cc
3816	+ correct definition of RemAttr() macro from 20010602 changes, which
3817	  caused C++ SillyDemo to not show line-drawing characters.
3818	+ modify C++ binding, adding getKey() which can be overridden by user
3819	  to substitute functions other than getch() for keyboard processing
3820	  of forms and menus (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
3821
382220010707
3823	+ fix some of the trace calls which needed modification to work with
3824	  new wide-character structures.
3825	+ modify magic-cookie code in tty_update.c to compile with new
3826	  wide-character structures (report by <George.R.Goffe@seagate.com>).
3827	+ ensure that _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined in curses.priv.h if
3828	  compiling for wide-character configuration.
3829	+ make addwnstr() handle non-spacing characters (patch by Sven
3830	  Verdoolaege).
3831
383220010630
3833	+ add configure check to define _GNU_SOURCE, needed to prop up glibc
3834	  header files.
3835	+ split-out include/curses.wide to solve spurious redefinitions caused
3836	  by defining _GNU_SOURCE, and move includes for <signal.h> before
3837	  <curses.h> to work around misdefinition of ERR in glibc 2.1.3 header
3838	  file.
3839	+ extended ospeed change to NetBSD and OpenBSD -TD
3840	+ modify logic in lib_baudrate.c for ospeed, for FreeBSD to make it
3841	  work properly for termcap applications (patch by Andrey A Chernov).
3842
384320010623
3844	+ correct an overlooked CharOf/UChar instance (reports by Eugene Lee
3845	  <eugene@anime.net>, Sven Verdoolaege).
3846	+ correct unneeded ifdef for wunctrl() (reported by Sven Verdoolaege)
3847
384820010618
3849	+ change overlooked several CharOf/UChar instances.
3850	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
3851	+ correct a typo in wunctrl(), which made it appear that botwc() was
3852	  needed (no such function: use btowc()).
3853	+ reimplement wide-character demo in test/view.c, using new functions.
3854	+ implement getcchar(), setcchar(), wadd_wchnstr() and related macros.
3855	+ fix a syntax problem with do/if/while in PUTC macro (curses.priv.h).
3856
385720010616
3858	+ add parentheses in macros for malloc in test.priv.h, fixes an
3859	  expression in view.c (report by Wolfgang Gutjahr <gutw@knapp.co.at>).
3860	+ add Caps.uwin, as an example.
3861	+ change the way curses.h is generated, making the list of function
3862	  key definitions extracted from the Caps file.
3863	+ add #undef's before possible redefinition of ERR and OK in curses.h
3864	+ modify logic in tic, toe, tput and tset which checks for basename of
3865	  argv[0] to work properly on systems such as OS/2 which have
3866	  case-independent filenames and/or program suffixes, e.g., ".ext".
3867
386820010609
3869	+ add a configure check, if --enable-widec is specified, for putwc(),
3870	  which may be in libutf8.
3871	+ remove some unnecessary text from curs_extend.3x and
3872	  default_colors.3x which caused man-db to make incorrect symbolic
3873	  links (Debian bug report #99550).
3874	+ add configure check if cast for _IO_va_list is needed to compile
3875	  C++ vscan code (Debian bug report #97945).
3876	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege:
3877	+ correct code that used non-standard auto-initialization of a struct,
3878	  which gcc allows (report by Larry Virden).
3879	+ use putwc() in PUTC() macro.
3880	+ make addstr() work for the special case where the codeset is
3881	  non-stateful (eg. UTF-8), as well as stateful codesets.
3882
388320010603
3884	+ correct loop expression in NEXT_CHAR macro for lib_addstr.c changes
3885	  from 20010602 (report by Mike Castle).
3886
388720010602
3888	+ modify mvcur() to avoid emitting newline characters when nonl() mode
3889	  is set.  Normally this is not a problem since the actual terminal
3890	  mode is set to suppress nl/crlf translations, however it is useful to
3891	  allow the caller to manipulate the terminal mode to avoid staircasing
3892	  effects after spawning a process which writes messages (for lynx
3893	  2.8.4) -TD
3894	> several patches from Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org>:
3895	+ remove redundant type-conversion in fifo_push()
3896	+ correct definition of addwstr() macro in curses.h.in
3897	+ remove _nc_utf8_outch()
3898	+ rename most existing uses of CharOf() to UChar(), e.g., where it is
3899	  used to prevent sign-extension in ctype macros.
3900	+ change some chtype's to attr_t's where the corresponding variables
3901	  are used to manipulate attributes.
3902	+ UpdateAttr() was applied to both attributes (attr_t) and characters
3903	  (chtype).  Modify macro and calls to it to make these distinct.
3904	+ add CharEq() macro, use in places where wide-character configuration
3905	  implementation uses a struct for cchar_t.
3906	+ moved struct ldat into curses.priv.h, to hide implementation details.
3907	+ change CharOf() macro to use it for masking A_CHARTEXT data from
3908	  chtype's.
3909	+ add L() macro to curses.priv.h, for long-character literals.
3910	+ replace several assignments from struct ldat entries to chtype or
3911	  char values with combinations of CharOf() and AttrOf() macros.
3912	+ add/use intermediate ChAttrOf() and ChCharOf() macros where we know
3913	  we are using chtype data.
3914	+ add/use lowlevel attribute manipulation macros AddAttr(), RemAttr()
3915	  and SetAttr().
3916	+ add/use SetChar() macro, to change a cchar_t based on a character and
3917	  attributes.
3918	+ convert most internal use of chtype to NCURSES_CH_T, to simplify use
3919	  of cchar_t for wide-character configuration.  Similarly, use ARG_CH_T
3920	  where a pointer would be more useful.
3921	+ add stubs for tracing cchar_t values.
3922	+ add/use macro ISBLANK()
3923	+ add/use constructors for cchar_t's: NewChar(), NewChar2().
3924	+ add/use macros CHREF(), CHDEREF(), AttrOfD(), CharOfD() to facilitate
3925	  passing cchar_t's by address.
3926	+ add/use PUTC_DATA, PUTC() macros.
3927	+ for wide-character configuration, move the window background data to
3928	  the end of the WINDOW struct so that whether _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
3929	  is defined or not, the offsets in the struct will not change.
3930	+ modify addch() to work with wide-characters.
3931	+ mark several wide-character functions as generated in curses.h.in
3932	+ implement wunctrl(), wadd_wch(), wbkgrndset(), wbkgrnd(),
3933	  wborder_set() and waddnwstr().
3934
393520010526
3936	+ add experimental --with-caps=XXX option to customize to similar
3937	  terminfo database formats such as AIX 4.x
3938	+ add Caps.aix4 as an example.
3939	+ modify Caps to add columns for the the KEY_xxx symbols.
3940	+ modify configure --with-widec to suppress overwrite of libcurses.so
3941	  and curses.h
3942	+ add checks to toe.c to avoid being confused by files and directories
3943	  where we would expect the reverse, e.g., source-files in the
3944	  top-level terminfo levels as is the case for AIX.
3945
394620010519
3947	+ add top-level 'depend' rule for the C sources, assuming that the
3948	  makedepend program is available.  As a side-effect, this makes
3949	  the generated sources, as in "make sources" (prompted by a report
3950	  by Mike Castle that "make -j" fails because the resulting parallel
3951	  processes race to generate ncurses/names.c).
3952	+ modify configure script so that --disable-overwrite option's action
3953	  to add a symbolic link for libcurses applies to the static library as
3954	  well as the shared library when both are configured (report by Felix
3955	  Natter <f.natter@ndh.net>).
3956	+ add ELKS terminfo entries (Federico Bianchi
3957	  <bianchi@www.arte.unipi.it>)
3958	+ add u6 (CSR) to Eterm (Michael Jennings).
3959
396020010512
3961	+ modify test/ncurses.c to work with xterm-256color, which has fewer
3962	  color pairs than colors*colors (report by David Ellement
3963	  <ellement@sdd.hp.com>).
3964
396520010505
3966	+ corrected screen.xterm-xfree86 entry.
3967	+ update comment in Caps regarding IBM (AIX) function-key definitions.
3968
396920010421
3970	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to link with libncurses++w.a when configured
3971	  for wide-characters (patch by Sven Verdoolaege).
3972	+ add check in _nc_trace_buf() to refrain from freeing a null pointer.
3973	+ improve CF_PROG_INSTALL macro using CF_DIRNAME.
3974	+ update config.guess, config.sub from autoconf 2.49e (alpha).
3975
397620010414
3977	+ add secondary check in tic.c, similar_sgr() to see if the reason
3978	  for mismatch was that the individual capabilities used a time-delay
3979	  while sgr did not.  Used this to cleanup mismatches, e.g., in vt100,
3980	  and remove time-delay from Apple_Terminal entries.
3981	+ add Apple_Terminal terminfo entries (Benjamin C W Sittler
3982	  <bsittler@iname.com>).
3983	+ correct definitions of shifted editing keys for xterm-xfree86 -TD
3984	+ fix a bug in test/bs.c from 20010407 (patch by Erik Sigra).
3985	+ prevent relative_move() from doing an overwrite if it detects 8-bit
3986	  characters when configured for UTF-8 (reported by Sven Verdoolaege
3987	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
3988
398920010407
3990	+ add configure checks for strstream.h vscan function, and similar
3991	  stdio-based function which may be used in C++ binding for gcc 3.0
3992	  (reports by George Goffe, Lars Hecking, Mike Castle).
3993	+ rewrite parts of configure.in which used changequote().  That feature
3994	  is broken in the latest autoconf alphas (e.g., 2.49d).
3995	+ add a missing pathname for ncurses_dll.h, needed when building in
3996	  a directory outside the source tree (patch by Sven Verdoolaege
3997	  <skimo@kotnet.org>).
3998	> fix 2 bugs in test/bs.c Erik Sigra <sigra@home.se>:
3999	+ no ships were ever placed in the last row or in the last column.
4000	  This made the game very easy to win, because you never had to waste
4001	  any shots there, but the computer did.
4002	+ the squares around a sunken ship that belonged to the player were not
4003	  displayed as already hit by the computer, like it does for the
4004	  player.
4005
400620010331
4007	+ add some examples of customizing screen's terminfo:
4008	  screen.xterm-xfree86, screen.xterm-r6, screen.teraterm -TD
4009	+ modify screen's terminfo entry to match the khome/kend in screen
4010	  3.09.08 (Debian bug report #92215).
4011	+ correct a memory leak in forms library (report by Stefan Vogtner
4012	  <stefan@vogtner.de>) (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
4013
401420010324
4015	+ change symbols used to guard against repeated includes to begin
4016	  consistently with "NCURSES_" rather than a leading underscore.  There
4017	  are other symbols defined in the header files which begin with a
4018	  leading underscore, but they are part of the legacy interface.
4019	+ reorder includes in c++ binding so that rcs identifiers can be
4020	  compiled-in.
4021	+ add .cc.ii rule to c++ makefile, to get preprocessor output for
4022	  debugging.
4023	+ correct configure script handling of @keyword@ substitutions when the
4024	  --with-manpage-renames option is given (cf:  20000715, fixes Debian
4025	  bug #89939).
4026	+ report stack underflow/overflow in tparm() when tic -cv option is
4027	  given.
4028	+ remove spurious "%|" operator from xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry,
4029	  (reported by Adam Costello <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, Debian bug #89222).
4030
403120010310
4032	+ cleanup of newdemo.c, fixing some ambiguous expressions noted by gcc
4033	  2.95.2, and correcting some conflicting color pair initializations.
4034	+ add missing copyright notice for cursesw.h
4035	+ review, make minor fixes for use of '::' for referring to C-language
4036	  interface from C++ binding.
4037	+ modify configure check for g++ library slightly to accommodate
4038	  nonstandard version number, e.g., <vendor>-2.7 (report by Ronald Ho
4039	  <rho@mipos2.intel.com>).
4040	+ add configure check for c++ <sstream> header, replace hardcoded
4041	  ifdef.
4042	+ workaround for pre-release of gcc 3.0 libstdc++, which has dropped
4043	  vscan from strstreambuf to follow standard, use wrapper for C vscanf
4044	  instead (report by George Goffe <grgoffe@excite.com> and Matt Taggart
4045	  <taggart@carmen.fc.hp.com>, fixes Debian .
4046
404720010303
4048	+ modify interface of _nc_get_token() to pass 'silent' parameter to it,
4049	  to make quieter loading of /etc/termcap (patch by Todd C Miller).
4050	+ correct a few typos in curs_slk.3x and curs_outopts.3x manpages
4051	  (patch by Todd C Miller).
4052
405320010224
4054	+ compiler-warning fixes (reported by Nelson Beebe).
4055
405620010210
4057	+ modify screen terminfo entry to use new 3.9.8 feature allowing xterm
4058	  mouse controls -TD
4059
406020010203
4061	+ broaden patterns used to match OS/2 EMX in configure script to cover
4062	  variant used in newer config.guess/config.sub
4063	+ remove changequote() calls from configure script, since this feature
4064	  is broken in the autoconf 2.49c alpha, maintainers decline to fix.
4065	+ remove macro callPutChar() from tty_update.c, since this is no longer
4066	  needed (reported by Philippe Blain).
4067	+ add a null-pointer check in tic.c to handle the case when the input
4068	  file is really empty.  Modify the next_char() function in comp_scan.c
4069	  to allow arbitrarily long lines, and incidentally supply a newline to
4070	  files that do not end in a newline.  These changes improve tic's
4071	  recovery from attempts to read binary files, e.g., its output from
4072	  the terminfo database (reported by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
4073
407420010127
4075	+ revert change to c++/demo.cc from 20001209, which changed definition
4076	  of main() apparently to accommodate cygwin linker, but broke the demo
4077	  program.
4078	+ workaround for broken egcs 2.91.66 which calls member functions
4079	  (i.e., lines() and colors() of NCursesWindow before calling its
4080	  constructor.  Add calls to initialize() in a few constructors which
4081	  did not do this already.
4082	+ use the GNAT preprocessor to make the necessary switch between TRACE
4083	  and NO_TRACE configurations (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
4084	> patches by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer:
4085	+ modify kterm terminfo entry to use SCS sequence to support alternate
4086	  character set (it does not work with SI/SO).
4087	+ --with-ospeed=something didn't work.  configure.in checked for a
4088	  $enableval where it should check for $withval.  Also,
4089	  ncurses/llib-lncurses still had a hardcoded short.
4090
409120010114
4092	+ correction to my merge of Tom Riddle's patch that broke tic in some
4093	  conditions (reported by Enoch Wexler <enoch@wexler.co.il>) -TD
4094
409520010113
4096	+ modify view.c to test halfdelay().  Like other tests, this recognizes
4097	  the 's' and space commands for stopping/starting polled input, shows
4098	  a freerunning clock in the header.  If given a parameter to 's', that
4099	  makes view.c use halfdelay() with that parameter rather than
4100	  nodelay().
4101	+ fix to allow compile with the experimental configure option
4102	  --disable-hashmap.
4103	+ modify postprocess_termcap() to avoid overwriting key_backspace,
4104	  key_left, key_down when processing a non-base entry (report/patch by
4105	  Tom Riddle).
4106	+ modify _nc_wrap_entry(), adding option to reallocate the string
4107	  table, needed in _nc_merge_entry() when merging termcap entries.
4108	  (adapted from report/patch by Tom Riddle <ftr@oracom.com>).
4109	+ modify a few configure script macros to keep $CFLAGS used only for
4110	  compiler options, preprocessor options in $CPPFLAGS.
4111
411220001230
4113	+ correct marker positions in lrtest.c after receiving a sigwinch.
4114	+ fix ifdef's in ncurses.c to build against pre-5.2 for testing.
4115	+ fixes to tclock for resizing behavior, redundant computation (report
4116	  and patch by A M Kuchling <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>).
4117
411820001216
4119	+ improved scoansi terminfo entry -TD
4120	+ modify configure script and makefile in Ada95/src to compile a stub
4121	  for the trace functions when ncurses does not provide those.
4122
412320001209
4124	+ add ncurses_dll.h and related definitions to support generating DLL's
4125	  with cygwin (adapted from a patch by Charles Wilson
4126	  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>, changed NCURSES_EXPORT macro to make it
4127	  work with 'indent') -TD
4128
412920001202
4130	+ correct prototypes for some functions in curs_termcap.3x, matching
4131	  termcap.h, which matches X/Open.
4132	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
4133	+ a revised version of the Ada enhancements sent in by "H.
4134	  Nanosecond", aka Eugene V Melaragno <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>.  This
4135	  patch includes
4136	  - small fixes to the existing ncurses binding
4137	  - addition of some more low-level functions to the binding, including
4138	    termcap and terminfo functions
4139	  - An Ada implementation of the "ncurses" test application originally
4140	    written in C.
4141
414220001125
4143	+ modify logic in lib_setup.c to allow either lines or columns value
4144	  from terminfo to be used if the screen size cannot be determined
4145	  dynamically rather than requiring both (patch by Ehud Karni
4146	  <ehud@unix.simonwiesel.co.il>).
4147	+ add check in lib_tgoto.c's is_termcap() function to reject null or
4148	  empty strings (reported by Valentin Nechayev <netch@netch.kiev.ua> to
4149	  freebsd-bugs).
4150	+ add definition from configure script that denotes the path-separator,
4151	  which is normally a colon.  The path-separator is a semicolon on
4152	  OS/2 EMX and similar systems which may use a colon within pathnames.
4153	+ alter logic to set default for --disable-overwrite option to set it
4154	  to 'yes' if the --prefix/$prefix value is not /usr/local, thereby
4155	  accommodating the most common cause of problems: gcc's nonstandard
4156	  search rules.  Other locations such as /usr/local/ncurses will
4157	  default to overwriting (report by Lars Hecking <lhecking@nmrc.ie>).
4158
415920001118
4160	+ modify default for --disable-overwrite configure option to disable
4161	  if the --prefix or $prefix value is not /usr.
4162	+ add cygwin to systems for which ncurses is installed by default into
4163	  /usr rather than /usr/local.
4164
416520001111
4166	+ minor optimization in comp_error.c and lib_termname.c, using
4167	  strncat() to replace strncpy() (patch by Solar Designer).
4168	+ add a use_terminfo_vars() check for $HOME/.termcap, and check for
4169	  geteuid() to use_terminfo_vars() (patch by Solar Designer
4170	  <solar@false.com>).
4171	+ improved cygwin terminfo entry, based on patch by
4172	  <ernie_boyd@yahoo.com>.
4173	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to allow for the possibility that linking
4174	  aliases on a filesystem that ignores case would not succeed because
4175	  the source and destination differ only by case, e.g., NCR260VT300WPP0
4176	  on cygwin (report by Neil Zanella).
4177	+ fix a typo in the curs_deleteln.3x man page (patch by Bernhard
4178	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
4179
418020001104
4181	+ add configure option --with-ospeed to assist packagers in transition
4182	  to 5.3 change to ospeed type.
4183	+ add/use CharOf() macro to suppress sign-extension of char type on
4184	  platforms where this is a problem in ctype macros, e.g., Solaris.
4185	+ change trace output to binary format.
4186	+ correct a missing quote adjustment in CF_PATH_SYNTAX autoconf
4187	  macro, for OS/2 EMX configuration.
4188	+ rearrange a few configure macros, moving preprocessor options to
4189	  $CPPFLAGS (a now-obsolete version of autoconf did not consistently
4190	  use $CPPFLAGS in both the compile and preprocessor checks).
4191	+ add a check in relative_move() to guard against buffer overflow in
4192	  the overwrite logic.
4193
419420001028
4195	+ add message to configure script showing g++ version.
4196	+ resync config.guess, config.sub
4197	+ modify lib_delwin.c, making it return ERR if the window did not exist
4198	  (suggested by Neil Zanella).
4199	+ add cases for FreeBSD 3.1 to tdlint and makellib scripts, used this
4200	  to test/review ncurses library.  (Would use lclint, but it doesn't
4201	  work).
4202	+ reorganized knight.c to avoid forward references.  Correct screen
4203	  updates when backtracking, especially to the first cell.  Add F/B/a
4204	  commands.
4205
420620001021 5.2 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
4207	+ update generated html files from manpages.
4208	+ modify dist.mk to use edit_man.sh to substitute autoconf'd variables
4209	  in html manpages.
4210	+ fix an uninitialized pointer in read_termcap.c (report by Todd C
4211	  Miller, from report/patch by Philip Guenther <guenther@gac.edu>).
4212	+ correct help-message and array limit in knight.c (patch by Brian
4213	  Raiter <breadbox@muppetlabs.com>).
4214	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
4215	+ fix to avoid warning by GNAT-3.13p about use of inconsistent casing
4216	  for some identifiers defined in the standard package.
4217	+ cosmetic change to forms/fty_enum.c
4218
421920001014
4220	+ correct an off-by-one position in test/railroad.c which could cause
4221	  wrapping at the right margin.
4222	+ test/repair some issues with libtool configuration.  Make
4223	  --disable-echo force libtool --silent.  (Libtool does not work for
4224	  OS/2 EMX, works partly for SCO - libtool is still very specific to
4225	  gcc).
4226	+ change default of --with-manpage-tbl to "no", since for most of the
4227	  platforms which do have tbl installed, the system "man" program
4228	  understands how to run tbl automatically.
4229	+ minor improvement to force_bar() in comp_parse.c (Bernhard
4230	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@redhat.de>).
4231	+ modify lib_tparm.c to use get_space() before writing terminating
4232	  null character, both for consistency as well as to ensure that if
4233	  save_char() was called immediately before, that the allocated memory
4234	  is enough (patch by Sergei Ivanov).
4235	+ add note about termcap ML capability which is duplicated between two
4236	  different capabilities:  smgl and smglr (reported by Sergei Ivanov
4237	  <svivanov@pdmi.ras.ru>).
4238	+ correct parameter counts in include/Caps for dclk as well as some
4239	  printer-specific capabilities: csnm, defc, scs, scsd, smgtp, smglp.
4240	> patch by Johnny C Lam <lamj@stat.cmu.edu>:
4241	+ add support for building with libtool (apparently version 1.3.5,
4242	  since old versions do not handle -L../lib), using new configure
4243	  option --with-libtool.
4244	+ add configure option --with-manpage-tbl, which causes the manpages to
4245	  be preprocessed by tbl(1) prior to installation,
4246	+ add configure option --without-curses-h, which causes the
4247	  installation process to install curses.h as ncurses.h and make
4248	  appropriate changes to headers and manpages.
4249
425020001009
4251	+ correct order of options/parameters in run_tic.in invocation of tic,
4252	  which did not work with standard getopt() (reported by Ethan
4253	  Butterfield <primus@veris.org>).
4254	+ correct logic for 'reverse' variable in lib_vidattr.c, which was
4255	  setting it true without checking if newmode had A_REVERSE set, e.g.,
4256	  using $TERM=ansi on OS/2 EMX (see 20000917).
4257	> patch by Todd C Miller:
4258	+ add a few missing use_terminfo_vars() and fixes up _nc_tgetent().
4259	  Previously, _nc_cgetset() would still get called on cp so the
4260	  simplest thing is to set cp to NULL if !use_terminfo_vars().
4261	+ added checks for an empty $HOME environment variable.
4262	> patches for OS/2 EMX (Ilya Zakharevich):
4263	+ modify convert_configure.pl to support INSTALL.  Change compiler
4264	  options in that script to use multithreading, needed for the mouse.
4265	+ modify OS/2 mouse support, retrying as a 2-button mouse if code fails
4266	  to set up a 3-button mouse.
4267	+ improve code for OS/2 mouse support, using _nc_timed_wait() to
4268	  replace select() call.
4269
427020001007
4271	+ change type of ospeed variable back to short to match its use in
4272	  legacy applications (reported by Andrey A Chernov).
4273	+ add case to configure script for --enable-rpath on IRIX (patch by
4274	  Albert Chin-A-Young).
4275	+ minor fix to position_check() function, to ensure it gets the whole
4276	  cursor report before decoding.
4277	+ add configure option --disable-assumed-color, to allow pre-5.1
4278	  convention of default colors used for color-pair 0 to be configured
4279	  (see assume_default_colors()).
4280	+ rename configure option --enable-hashmap --disable-hashmap, and
4281	  reorder the configure options, splitting the experimental and
4282	  development
4283	+ add configure option --disable-root-environ, which tells ncurses to
4284	  disregard $TERMINFO and similar environment variables if the current
4285	  user is root, or running setuid/setgid (based on discussion with
4286	  several people).
4287	+ modified misc/run_tic.in to use tic -o, to eliminate dependency on
4288	  $TERMINFO variable for installs.
4289	+ add table entry for plab_norm to tput, so it passes in strings
4290	  for that capability.
4291	+ modify parse_format() in lib_tparm.c to ignore precision if it is
4292	  longer than 10000 (report by Jouko Pynnonen).
4293	+ rewrote limit checks in lib_mvcur.c using new functions
4294	  _nc_safe_strcat(), etc.  Made other related changes to check lengths
4295	  used for strcat/strcpy (report by Jouko Pynnonen
4296	  <jouko@solutions.fi>).
4297
429820000930
4299	+ modify several descriptions, including those for setaf, setab, in
4300	  include/Caps to indicate that the entries are parameterized.  This
4301	  information is used to tell which strings are translated when
4302	  converting to termcap.  Fixes a problem where the generated termcap
4303	  would contain a spurious "%p1" for the terminfo "%p1%d".
4304	+ modify ld -rpath options (e.g., Linux, and Solaris) to use an
4305	  absolute pathname for the build tree's lib directory (prompted by
4306	  discussion with Albert Chin-A-Young).
4307	+ modify "make install.man" and "make uninstall.man" to include tack's
4308	  man-page.
4309	+ various fixes for install scripts used to support configure --srcdir
4310	  and --with-install-prefix (reported by Matthew Clarke
4311	  <Matthew_Clarke@mindlink.bc.ca>).
4312	+ make configure script checks on variables $GCC and $GXX consistently
4313	  compare against 'yes' rather than test if they are nonnull, since
4314	  either may be set to the corresponding name of the C or C++ compiler
4315	  (report/patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
4316
431720000923
4318	+ modify rs2 capability in xterm-r6 and similar where cursor
4319	  save/restore bracketed the sequence for resetting video attributes.
4320	  The cursor restore would undo that (report by John Hawkinson
4321	  <jhawk@MIT.EDU> (see NetBSD misc/11052)).
4322	+ using parameter check added to tic, corrected 27 typos in
4323	  terminfo.src -TD
4324	+ modify tic to verify that its inputs are really files, in case
4325	  someone tries to read a directory (or /dev/zero).
4326	+ add a check for empty buffers returned by fgets() in comp_scan.c
4327	  next_char() function, in case tic is run on a non-text file (fixes
4328	  a core dump reported by Aaron Campbell <aaron@cs.dal.ca>).
4329	+ add to railroad.c some code exercising tgoto(), providing an
4330	  alternate form of display if the terminal supports cursor addressing.
4331	+ split-out tgoto() again, this time into new file lib_tgoto.c, and
4332	  implement a conventional BSD-style tgoto() which is used if the
4333	  capability string does not contain terminfo-style padding or
4334	  parameters (requested by Andrey A Chernov).
4335	+ add check to tic which reports capabilities that do not reference
4336	  the expected number of parameters.
4337	+ add error checking to infocmp's -v and -m options to ensure that
4338	  the option value is indeed a number.
4339	+ some cleanup of logic in _nc_signal_handler() to verify if SIGWINCH
4340	  handler is setup.  Separated the old/new sigaction data for SIGTSTP
4341	  from the other signals.
4342
434320000917
4344	+ add S0, E0 extensions to screen's terminfo entry, which is another
4345	  way to solve the misconfiguration issue -TD
4346	+ completed special case for tgoto from 20000916
4347
434820000916
4349	+ update xterm terminfo entries to match XFree86 xterm patch #146 -TD
4350	+ add Matrix Orbital terminfo entries (from Eric Z Ayers
4351	  <eric@ale.org>).
4352	+ add special case to lib_tparm.c to allow 'screen' program to use a
4353	  termcap-style parameter "%." to tgoto() for switching character sets.
4354	+ use LN_S substitution in run_tic.in, to work on OS/2 EMX which has
4355	  no symbolic links.
4356	+ updated notes in README.emx regarding autoconf patches.
4357	+ replace a lookup table in lib_vidattr.c used to decode no_color_video
4358	  with a logic expression (suggested by Philippe Blain).
4359	+ add a/A toggle to ncurses.c 'b' test, which clears/sets alternate
4360	  character set attribute from the displayed text.
4361	+ correct inequality in parameter analysis of rewritten lib_tparm.c
4362	  which had the effect of ignoring p9 in set_attributes (sgr), breaking
4363	  alternate character set (reported by Piotr Majka <charvel@link.pl>).
4364	+ correct ifdef'ing for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF which would not compile
4365	  with Sun WorkShop compilers since these tokens were empty (cf:
4366	  20000902, reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
4367
436820000909
4369	+ correct an uninitialized parameter to open_tempfile() in tic.c which
4370	  made "tic -I" give an ambiguous error message about tmpnam.
4371	+ add special case in lib_vidattr.c to reset underline and standout for
4372	  devices that have no sgr0 defined (patch by Don Lewis
4373	  <Don.Lewis@tsc.tdk.com>).  Note that this will not work for bold
4374	  mode, since there is no exit-bold-mode capability.
4375	+ improved patch for Make_Enum_Type (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
4376	+ modify tparm to disallow arithmetic on strings, analyze the varargs
4377	  list to read strings as strings and numbers as numbers.
4378	+ modify tparm's internal function spop() to treat a null pointer as
4379	  an empty string.
4380	+ modify tput program so it can be renamed or invoked via a link as
4381	  'reset' or 'init', producing the same effect as 'tput reset' or 'tput
4382	  init'.
4383	+ add private entrypoint _nc_basename(), use to consolidate related
4384	  code in progs, as well as accommodating OS/2 EMX pathnames.
4385	+ remove NCURSES_CONST line from edit_cfg.sh to compensate for its
4386	  removal (except via AC_SUBST) from configure.in, making
4387	  --enable-const work again (reported by Juergen Pfeifer).
4388	+ regen'd configure to pick up "hpux*" change from 20000902.
4389
439020000902
4391	+ modify tset.c to check for transformed "reset" program name, if any.
4392	+ add a check for null pointer in Make_Enum_Type() (reported by Steven
4393	  W Orr <steveo@world.std.com>).
4394	+ change functions _nc_parse_entry() and postprocess_termcap() to avoid
4395	  using strtok(), because it is non-reentrant (reported by Andrey A
4396	  Chernov <ache@nagual.pp.ru>).
4397	+ remove "hpux10.*" case from CF_SHARED_OPTS configure script macro.
4398	  This differed from the "hpux*" case by using reversed symbolic
4399	  links, which made the 5.1 version not match the configuration of
4400	  5.0 shared libraries (reported by Albert Chin-A-Young).
4401	+ correct a dependency in Ada95/src/Makefile.in which prevented
4402	  building with configure --srcdir (patch by H Nanosecond
4403	  <aldomel@ix.netcom.com>).
4404	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h.in to avoid warning if GCC_PRINTF or
4405	  GCC_SCANF was not previously defined (reported by Pavel Roskin
4406	  <proski@gnu.org>).
4407	+ add MKncurses_def.sh to generate fallback definitions for
4408	  ncurses_cfg.h, to quiet gcc -Wundef warnings, modified ifdef's in
4409	  code to consistently use "#if" rather than "#ifdef".
4410
441120000826
4412	+ add QNX qansi entries to terminfo -TD
4413	+ add os2 entry to misc/emx.src (<jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
4414	+ add configure option --with-database to allow specifying a different
4415	  terminfo source-file to install.  On OS/2 EMX, this defaults to
4416	  misc/emx.src
4417	+ change misc/run_tic.sh to derive it from misc/run_tic.in, to simplify
4418	  setting .exe extension on OS/2 EMX.
4419	+ add .exe extension in Ada95/gen/Makefile.in,
4420	  Ada95/samples/Makefile.in, for OS/2 EMX (reported by
4421	  <jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>).
4422	+ add configure check for filesystems (such as OS/2 EMX) which do not
4423	  distinguish between upper/lowercase filenames, use this to fix tags
4424	  rules in makefiles.
4425	+ initialize fds[] array to 0's in _nc_timed_wait(); apparently poll()
4426	  only sets the revents members of that array when there is activity
4427	  corresponding to the related file (report by Glenn Cooper
4428	  <gcooper@qantas.com.au>, using Purify on Solaris 5.6).
4429	+ change configure script to use AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM rather than
4430	  AC_CANONICAL_HOST, which means that configure --target will set
4431	  a default program-prefix.
4432	+ add note on cross-compiling to INSTALL (which does not rely on the
4433	  AC_CANONICAL_* macros).
4434
443520000819
4436	+ add cases for EMX OS/2 to config.guess, config.sub
4437	+ new version of config.guess, config.sub from lynx 2.8.4dev.7
4438	+ add definitions via transform.h to allow tic and tput to check for
4439	  the transformed aliases rather than the original infotocap, etc.
4440	+ simplify transform-expressions in progs/Makefile.in, make the
4441	  uninstall rule work for transformed program names.
4442	+ change symbol used by --install-prefix configure option from
4443	  INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR (the latter has become common usage
4444	  although the name is misleading).
4445	+ modify programs to use curses_version() string to report the version
4446	  of ncurses with which they are compiled rather than the
4447	  NCURSES_VERSION string.  The function returns the patch level in
4448	  addition to the major and minor version numbers.
4449
445020000812
4451	+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to make transformed program names
4452	  a parameter to that macro rather than embedding them in the macro.
4453	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in lynx
4454	  2.8.4dev.7).
4455	+ add configure option --with-default-terminfo-dir=DIR to allow
4456	  specifying the default terminfo database directory (request by Albert
4457	  Chin-A-Young).
4458	+ minor updates for terminfo.src from FreeBSD termcap change-history.
4459	+ correct notes in README and INSTALL regarding documentation files
4460	  that were moved from misc directory to doc (report by Rich Kulawiec
4461	  <rsk@gsp.org>).
4462	+ change most remaining unquoted parameters of 'test' in configure
4463	  script to use quotes, for instance fixing a problem in the
4464	  --disable-database option (reported by Christian Mondrup
4465	  <scancm@biobase.dk>).
4466	+ minor adjustments to work around some of the incompatibilities/bugs
4467	  in autoconf 2.29a alpha.
4468	+ add -I/usr/local/include when --with-ncurses option is used in
4469	  test/configure script.
4470	+ correct logic in adjust_cancels(), which did not check both
4471	  alternatives when reclassifying an extended name between boolean,
4472	  number and string, causing an infinite loop in tic.
4473
447420000730
4475	+ correct a missing backslash in curses.priv.h
4476
447720000729
4478	+ change handling of non_dest_scroll_region in tty_update.c to clear
4479	  text after it is shifted in rather than before shifting out.  Also
4480	  correct row computation (reported by Ruediger Kuhlmann
4481	  <uck4@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>).
4482	+ add/use new trace function to display chtype values from winch() and
4483	  getbkgd().
4484	+ add trace mask TRACE_ATTRS, alter several existing _tracef calls that
4485	  trace attribute changes under TRACE_CALLS to use this.
4486	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh so that functions returning chtype will call
4487	  returnChar().
4488	+ add returnChar() trace, for functions returning chtype.
4489	+ change indent.pro to line up parenthesis.
4490
449120000722
4492	+ fix a heap problem with the c++ binding (report by
4493	  <alexander_liberson@ninewest.com>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
4494	+ minor adjustment to ClrToEOL() to handle an out-of-bounds parameter.
4495	+ modify the check for big-core to force a couple of memory accesses,
4496	  which may work as needed for older/less-capable machines (if not,
4497	  there's still the explicit configure option).
4498	> fixes based on diff's for Amiga and BeOS found at
4499	  http://www.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~kuhlmann/cross/ncurses/
4500	+ alter definition of NCURSES_CONST to make it non-empty.
4501	+ add amiga-vnc terminfo entry.
4502	+ redefine 'TEXT' in menu.h for AMIGA, since it is reported to have
4503	  an (unspecified) symbol conflict.
4504	+ replaced case-statement in _nc_tracebits() for CSIZE with a table to
4505	  simplify working around implementations that define random
4506	  combinations of the related macros to zero.
4507	+ modify configure test for tcgetattr() to allow for old
4508	  implementations, e.g., on BeOS, which only defined it as a macro.
4509	> patches by Bruno Haible:
4510	+ when checking LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG environment variables for UTF-8
4511	  locale, ignore those which are set to an empty value, as per SUSV2.
4512	+ encode 0xFFFD in UTF-8 with 3 bytes, not 2.
4513	+ modify _nc_utf8_outch() to avoid sign-extension when checking for
4514	  out-of-range value.
4515
451620000715
4517	+ correct manlinks.sed script to avoid using ERE "\+", which is not
4518	  understood by older versions of sed (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young).
4519	+ implement configure script options that transform installed program
4520	  names, e.g., --program-prefix, including the manpage names and cross
4521	  references (patch by Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>).
4522	+ correct several mismatches between manpage filename and ".TH"
4523	  directives, renaming dft_fgbg.3x to default_colors.3x and
4524	  menu_attribs.3x to menu_attributes.3x (report by Todd C Miller).
4525	+ correct missing includes for <string.h> in several places, including
4526	  the C++ binding.  This is not noted by gcc unless we use the
4527	  -fno-builtin option (reported by Igor Schein <igor@txc.com>).
4528	+ modified progs/tset.c and tack/sysdep.c to build with sgttyb
4529	  interface if neither termio or termios is available.  Tested this
4530	  with FreeBSD 2.1.5 (which does have termios - but the sgttyb does
4531	  work).
4532
453320000708 5.1 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
4534	+ document configure options in INSTALL.
4535	+ add man-page for ncurses trace functions.
4536	+ correct return value shown in curs_touch.3x for is_linetouched() and
4537	  is_wintouched(), in curs_initscr.3x for isendwin(), and in
4538	  curs_termattr.3x for has_ic() and has_il().
4539	+ add prototypes for touchline() and touchwin(), adding them to the
4540	  list of generated functions.
4541	+ modify fifo_push() to put ERR into the fifo just like other values to
4542	  return from wgetch().  It was returning without doing that, making
4543	  end-of-file condition incorrectly return a 0 (reported by Todd C
4544	  Miller).
4545	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS for progs and tack (see 971115), since they
4546	  are needed for SCO OpenServer.
4547	+ move _nc_disable_period from free_ttype.c to comp_scan.c to appease
4548	  dynamic loaders on SCO and IRIX64.
4549	+ add "-a" option to test/ncurses.c to invoke assume_default_colors()
4550	  for testing.
4551	+ correct assignment in assume_default_colors() which tells ncurses
4552	  whether to use default colors, or the assumed ones (reported by Gary
4553	  Funck <gary@Intrepid.Com>).
4554	+ review/correct logic in mk-1st.awk for making symbolic links for
4555	  shared libraries, in particular for FreeBSD, etc.
4556	+ regenerate misc/*.def files for OS/2 EMX dll's.
4557	+ correct quoting of values for CC_SHARED_OPTS in aclocal.m4 for
4558	  cases openbsd2*, openbsd*, freebsd* and netbsd* (patch by Peter
4559	  Wemm) (err in 20000610).
4560	+ minor updates to release notes, as well as adding/updating URLs for
4561	  examples cited in announce.html
4562	> several fixes from Philippe Blain <philippe.blain2@freesbee.fr>:
4563	+ correct placement of ifdef for NCURSES_XNAMES in function
4564	  _nc_free_termtype(), fixes a memory leak.
4565	+ add a call to _nc_synchook() to the end of function whline() like
4566	  that in wvline() (difference was in 1.9.4).
4567	+ make ClearScreen() a little faster by moving two instances of
4568	  UpdateAttr() out of for-loops.
4569	+ simplify ClrBottom() by eliminating the tstLine data, using for-loops
4570	  (cf: 960428).
4571
457220000701 pre-release
4573	+ change minor version to 1, i.e., ncurses 5.1
4574	+ add experimental configure option --enable-colorfgbg to check for
4575	  $COLORTERM variable as set by rxvt/aterm/Eterm.
4576	+ add Eterm terminfo entry (Michael Jennings <mej@valinux.com>).
4577	+ modify manlinks.sed to pick aliases from the SYNOPSIS section, and
4578	  several manpages so manlinks.sed can find aliases for creating
4579	  symbolic links.
4580	+ add explanation to run_tic.sh regarding extended terminal
4581	  capabilities.
4582	+ change message format for edit_cfg.sh, since some people interpret
4583	  it as a warning.
4584	+ correct unescaped '$' in sysv5uw7*|unix_sv* rule for CF_SHARED_OPTS
4585	  configure macro (report by Thanh Ma <Thanh.Ma@casi-rusco.com>).
4586	+ correct logic in lib_twait.c as used by lib_mouse.c for GPM mouse
4587	  support when poll() is used rather than select() (prompted by
4588	  discussion with David Allen <DAllen24@aol.com>).
4589
459020000624 pre-release
4591	+ modify TransformLine() to check for cells with different color pairs
4592	  that happen to render the same display colors.
4593	+ apply $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to cost-computation in mvcur().
4594	+ improve cost computation in PutRange() by accounting for the use
4595	  of parm_right_cursor in mvcur().
4596	+ correct cost computation in EmitRange(), which was not using the
4597	  normalized value for cursor_address.
4598	+ newer config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in TIN 1.5.6).
4599
460020000617
4601	+ update config.guess, config.sub (reference version used in PCRE 3.2).
4602	+ resync changes to gnathtml against version 1.22, regenerated html
4603	  files under doc/html/ada using this (1.22.1.1).
4604	+ regenerated html files under doc/html/man after correcting top and
4605	  bottom margin options for man2html in dist.mk
4606	+ minor fixes to test programs ncurses 'i' and testcurs program to make
4607	  the subwindow's background color cover the subwindow.
4608	+ modify configure script so AC_MSG_ERROR is temporarily defined to a
4609	  warning in AC_PROG_CXX to make it recover from a missing C++ compiler
4610	  without requiring user to add --without-cxx option (adapted from
4611	  comment by Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr> to autoconf mailing list).
4612	+ modify headers.sh to avoid creating temporary files in the build
4613	  directory when installing headers (reported by Sergei Pokrovsky
4614	  <pok@nbsp.nsk.su>)
4615
461620000610
4617	+ regenerated the html files under doc/html/ada/files and
4618	  doc/html/ada/funcs with a slightly-improved gnathtml.
4619	+ add kmous capability to linux terminfo entry to allow it to use
4620	  xterm-style events provided by gpm patch by Joerg Schoen.
4621	+ make the configure macro CF_SHARED_OPTS a little smarter by testing
4622	  if -fPIC is supported by gcc rather than -fpic.  The former option
4623	  allows larger symbol tables.
4624	+ update config.guess and config.sub (patches by
4625	  Kevin Buettner <kev@primenet.com> (for elf64_ia64),
4626	  Bernd Kuemmerlen <bkuemmer@mevis.de> (for MacOS X)).
4627	+ add warning for 'tic -cv' about use of '^?' in terminfo source, which
4628	  is an extension.
4629
463020000527
4631	+ modify echo() behavior of getch() to match Solaris curses for
4632	  carriage return and backspace (reported by Neil Zanella).
4633	+ change _nc_flush() to a function.
4634	+ modify delscreen() to check if the output stream has been closed, and
4635	  if so, free the buffer allocated for setbuf (this provides an
4636	  ncurses-specific way to avoid a memory leak when repeatedly calling
4637	  newterm reported by Chipp C <at_1@zdnetonebox.com>).
4638	+ correct typo in curs_getch.3x manpage regarding noecho (reported by
4639	  David Malone <dwmalone@maths.tcd.ie>).
4640	+ add a "make libs" rule.
4641	+ make the Ada95 interface build with configure --enable-widec.
4642	+ if the configure --enable-widec option is given, append 'w' to names
4643	  of the generated libraries (e.g., libncursesw.so) to avoid conflict
4644	  with existing ncurses libraries.
4645
464620000520
4647	+ modify view.c to make a rudimentary viewer of UTF-8 text if ncurses
4648	  is configured with the experimental wide-character support.
4649	+ add a simple UTF-8 output driver to the experimental wide-character
4650	  support.  If any of the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or
4651	  LANG contain the string "UTF-8", this driver will be used to
4652	  translate the output to UTF-8.  This works with XFree86 xterm.
4653	+ modify configure script to allow building shared libraries on BeOS
4654	  (from a patch by Valeriy E Ushakov).
4655	+ modify lib_addch.c to allow repeated update to the lower-right
4656	  corner, rather than displaying only the first character written until
4657	  the cursor is moved.  Recent versions of SVr4 curses can update the
4658	  lower-right corner, and behave this way (reported by Neil Zanella).
4659	+ add a limit-check in _nc_do_color(), to avoid using invalid color
4660	  pair value (report by Brendan O'Dea <bod@compusol.com.au>).
4661
466220000513
4663	+ the tack program knows how to use smcup and rmcup but the "show caps
4664	  that can be tested" feature did not reflect this knowledge.  Correct
4665	  the display in the menu tack/test/edit/c (patch by Daniel Weaver).
4666	+ xterm-16color does allow bold+colors, removed ncv#32 from that
4667	  terminfo entry.
4668
466920000506
4670	+ correct assignment to SP->_has_sgr_39_49 in lib_dft_fgbg.c, which
4671	  broke check for screen's AX capability (reported by Valeriy E Ushakov
4672	  <uwe@ptc.spbu.ru>).
4673	+ change man2html rule in dist.mk to workaround bug in some
4674	  man-programs that ignores locale when rendering hyphenation.
4675	+ change web- and ftp-site to dickey.his.com
4676
467720000429
4678	+ move _nc_curr_token from parse_entry.c to comp_scan.c, to work around
4679	  problem linking tack on MacOS X DP3.
4680	+ include <sys/time.h> in lib_napms.c to compile on MacOS X DP3
4681	  (reported by Gerben Wierda <wierda@holmes.nl>).
4682	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to check for ncv fixes when pair-0 is not
4683	  default colors.
4684	+ add -d option to ncurses.c, to turn on default-colors for testing.
4685	+ add a check to _nc_makenew() to ensure that newwin() and newpad()
4686	  calls do not silently fail by passing too-large limits.
4687	+ add symbol NCURSES_SIZE_T to use rather than explicit 'short' for
4688	  internal window and pad sizes.  Note that since this is visible in
4689	  the WINDOW struct, it would be an ABI change to make this an 'int'
4690	  (prompted by a question by Bastian Trompetter
4691	  <btrompetter@firemail.de>, who attempted to create a 96000-line pad).
4692
469320000422
4694	+ add mgterm terminfo entry from NetBSD, minor adjustments to sun-ss5,
4695	  aixterm entries -TD
4696	+ modify tack/ansi.c to make it more tolerant of bad ANSI replies.  An
4697	  example of an illegal ANSI resonse can be found using Microsoft's
4698	  Telnet client.  A correct display can be found using a VT-4xx
4699	  terminal or XFree86 xterm with:
4700		XTerm*VT100*decTerminalID:  450
4701	  (patch by Daniel Weaver).
4702	+ modify gdc.c to recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' '
4703	  for resume.  Add '-n' option to force gdc's standard input to
4704	  /dev/null, to both illustrate the use of newterm() for specifying
4705	  alternate inputs as well as for testing signal handling.
4706	+ minor fix for configure option --with-manpage-symlinks, for target
4707	  directories that contain a period ('.') (reported by Larry Virden).
4708
470920000415
4710	+ minor additions to beterm entry (feedback from Rico Tudor) -TD
4711	+ corrections/updates for some IBM terminfo entries -TD
4712	+ modify _nc_screen_wrap() so that when exiting curses mode with
4713	  non-default colors, the last line on the screen will be cleared to
4714	  the screen's default colors (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
4715	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' example to set nonl(), allowing control/M to be
4716	  read for demonstrating the REQ_NEW_LINE operation (prompted by a
4717	  question by Tony L Keith <tlkeith@keithconsulting.com>).
4718	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' example of field_info() to work on Solaris 2.7,
4719	  documented extension of ncurses which allows a zero pointer.
4720	+ modify fmt_complex() to avoid buffer overflow in case of excess
4721	  recursion, and to recognize "%e%?" as a synonym for else-if, which
4722	  means that it will not recur for that special case.
4723	+ add logic to support $TERMCAP variable in case the USE_GETCAP symbol
4724	  is defined (patch by Todd C Miller).
4725	+ modify one of the m4 files used to generate the Ada95 sources,
4726	  to avoid using the token "symbols" (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
4727
472820000408
4729	+ add terminfo entries bsdos-pc-m, bsdos-pc-mono (Jeffrey C Honig)
4730	+ correct spelling error in terminfo entry name:  bq300-rv was given as
4731	  bg300-rv in esr's version.
4732	+ modify redrawwin() macro so its parameter is fully parenthesized
4733	  (fixes Debian bug report #61088).
4734	+ correct formatting error in dump_entry() which set incorrect column
4735	  value when no newline trimming was needed at the end of an entry,
4736	  before appending "use=" clauses (cf: 960406).
4737
473820000401
4739	+ add configure option --with-manpage-symlinks
4740	+ change unctrl() to render C1 characters (128-159) as ~@, ~A, etc.
4741	+ change makefiles so trace() function is provided only if TRACE is
4742	  defined, e.g., in the debug library.  Modify related calls to
4743	  _tracechar() to use unctrl() instead.
4744
474520000325
4746	+ add screen's AX capability (for ECMA SGR 39 and 49) to applicable
4747	  terminfo entries, use presence of this as a check for a small
4748	  improvement in setting default colors.
4749	+ improve logic in _nc_do_color() implementing assume_default_colors()
4750	  by passing in previous color pair info to eliminate redundant call to
4751	  set_original_colors().  (Part of this is from a patch by Alexander
4752	  V Lukyanov).
4753	+ modify warning in _nc_trans_string() about a possibly too-long string
4754	  to do this once only rather than for each character past the
4755	  threshold (600).  Change interface of _nc_trans_string() to allow
4756	  check for buffer overflow.
4757	+ correct use of memset in _nc_read_entry_source() to initialize ENTRY
4758	  struct each time before reading new data into it, rather than once
4759	  per loop (cf:  990301).  This affects multi-entry in-core operations
4760	  such as "infocmp -Fa".
4761
476220000319
4763	+ remove a spurious pointer increment in _nc_infotocap() changes from
4764	  20000311.  Add check for '.' in format of number, since that also
4765	  is not permitted in termcap.
4766	+ correct typo in rxvt-basic terminfo from temporary change made while
4767	  integrating 20000318.
4768
476920000318
4770	+ revert part of the vt220 change (request by Todd C Miller).
4771	+ add ansi-* terminfo entries from ESR's version.
4772	+ add -a option to tic and infocmp, which retains commented-out
4773	  capabilities during source translation/comparison, e.g., captoinfo
4774	  and infotocap.
4775	+ modify cardfile.c to display an empty card if no input data file is
4776	  found, fixes a core dump in that case (reported by Bruno Haible).
4777	+ correct bracketing in CF_MATH_LIB configure macro, which gave wrong
4778	  result for OS/2 EMX.
4779	+ supply required parameter for _nc_resolve_uses() call in
4780	  read_termcap.c, overlooked in 20000311 (reported by Todd C Miller).
4781	> patches by Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>:
4782	+ fix a compiler warning in fty_enum.c
4783	+ correct LIB_PREFIX expression for DEPS_CURSES in progs, tack
4784	  makefiles, which resulted in redundant linking (cf: 20000122).
4785
478620000311
4787	+ make ifdef's for BROKEN_LINKER consistent (patch by Todd C Miller).
4788	+ improved tack/README (patch by Daniel Weaver).
4789	+ modify tput.c to ensure that unspecified parameters are passed to
4790	  tparm() as 0's.
4791	+ add a few checks in infocmp to guard against buffer overflow when
4792	  displaying string capabilities.
4793	+ add check for zero-uses in infocmp's file_comparison() function
4794	  before calling _nc_align_termtype().  Otherwise one parameter is
4795	  indexed past the end of the uses-array.
4796	+ add an option -q to infocmp to specify the less verbose output,
4797	  keeping the existing format as the default, though not retaining the
4798	  previous behavior that made the -F option compare each entry to
4799	  itself.
4800	+ adapted patch by ESR to make infocmp -F less verbose -TD
4801	  (the submitted patch was unusable because it did not compile
4802	  properly)
4803	  + modify write_entry.c to ensure that absent or cancelled booleans
4804	    are written as FALSE, for consistency with infocmp which now
4805	    assumes this.  Note that for the small-core configuration, tic
4806	    may not produce the same result as before.
4807	  + change some private library interfaces used by infocmp, e.g.,
4808	    _nc_resolve_uses().
4809	  + add a check in _nc_infotocap() to ensure that cm-style capabilities
4810	    accept only %d codes when converting the format from terminfo to
4811	    termcap.
4812	  + modify ENTRY struct to separate the data in 'parent' into the name
4813	    and link values (the original idea to merge both into 'parent' was
4814	    not good).
4815	  + discard repair_acsc(tterm);
4816	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
4817	+ drop support for gnat 3.10
4818	+ move generated documentation and html files under ./doc directory,
4819	  adding makefile rules for this to dist.mk
4820
482120000304
4822	+ correct conflicting use of tparm() in 20000226 change to tic, which
4823	  made it check only one entry at a time.
4824	+ fix errors in ncurses-intro.html and hackguide.html shown by Dave
4825	  Raggett's tidy.
4826	+ make the example in ncurses-intro.html do something plausible, and
4827	  corrected misleading comment (reported by Neil Zanella).
4828	+ modify pnoutrefresh() to set newscr->_leaveok as wnoutrefresh() does,
4829	  to fix a case where the cursor position was not updated as in
4830	  Solaris  (patch by David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>).
4831	+ add a limit-check for wresize() to ensure that a subwindow does not
4832	  address out of bounds.
4833	+ correct offsets used for subwindows in wresize() (patch by Michael
4834	  Andres <ma@suse.de>).
4835	+ regenerate html'ized manual pages with man2html 3.0.1 (patch by
4836	  Juergen Pfeifer).  This generated a file with a space in its name,
4837	  which I removed.
4838	+ fix a few spelling errors in tack.
4839	+ modify tack/Makefile.in to match linker options of progs/Makefile.in;
4840	  otherwise it does not build properly for older HPUX shared library
4841	  configurations.
4842	+ add several terminfo entries from esr's "11.0".
4843
484420000226
4845	+ make 'tput flash' work properly for xterm by flushing output in
4846	  delay_output() when using napms(), and modifying xterm's terminfo to
4847	  specify no padding character.  Otherwise, xterm's reported baud rate
4848	  can mislead ncurses into producing too few padding characters
4849	  (Debian #58530).
4850	+ add a check to tic for consistency between sgr and the separate
4851	  capabilities such as smso, use this to check/correct several
4852	  terminfo entries (Debian #58530).
4853	+ add a check to tic if cvvis is the same as cnorm, adjusted several
4854	  terminfo entries to remove the conflict (Debian #58530).
4855	+ correct prototype shown in attr_set()/wattr_set() manpages (fixes
4856	  Debian #53962).
4857	+ minor clarification for curs_set() and leaveok() manpages.
4858	+ use mkstemp() for creating temporary file for tic's processing of
4859	  $TERMCAP contents (fixes Debian #56465).
4860	+ correct two errors from integrating Alexander's changes:  did not
4861	  handle the non-bce case properly in can_erase_with() (noted by
4862	  Alexander), and left fg/bg uninitialized in the pair-zero case of
4863	  _nc_do_color() (reported by Dr Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> and
4864	  Ismael Cordeiro <ismael@cordeiro.com>).
4865
486620000219
4867	+ store default-color code consistently as C_MASK, even if given as
4868	  -1 for convenience (adapted from patches by Alexander V Lukyanov).
4869	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
4870	+ change can_clear_with() macro to accommodate logic for
4871	  assume_default_colors(), making most of the FILL_BCE logic
4872	  unnecessary.  Made can_clear_with() an inline function to make it
4873	  simpler to read.
4874
487520000212
4876	+ corrected form of recent copyright dates.
4877	+ minor corrections to xterm-xf86-v333 terminfo entry -TD
4878	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
4879	+ reworded dft_fgbg.3x to avoid assuming that the terminal's default
4880	  colors are white on black.
4881	+ fix initialization of tstLine so that it is filled with current blank
4882	  character in any case.  Previously it was possible to have it filled
4883	  with old blank.  The wrong over-optimization was introduced in 991002
4884	  patch.  (it is not very critical as the only bad effect is not using
4885	  clr_eos for clearing if blank has changed).
4886
488720000205
4888	+ minor corrections/updates to several terminfo entries: rxvt-basic,
4889	  vt520, vt525, ibm5151, xterm-xf86-v40 -TD
4890	+ modify ifdef's for poll() to allow it to use <sys/poll.h>, thereby
4891	  allowing poll() to be used on Linux.
4892	+ add CF_FUNC_POLL macro to check if poll() is able to select from
4893	  standard input.  If not we will not use it, preferring select()
4894	  (adapted from patch by Michael Pakovic <mpakovic@fdn.com>).
4895	+ update CF_SHARED_OPTS macro for SCO Unixware 7.1 to allow building
4896	  shared libraries (reported/tested by Thanh <thanhma@mediaone.net>).
4897	+ override $LANGUAGE in build to avoid incorrect ordering of keynames.
4898	+ correct CF_MATH_LIB parameter, must be sin(x), not sqrt(x).
4899
490020000122
4901	+ resync CF_CHECK_ERRNO and CF_LIB_PREFIX macros from tin and xterm -TD
4902	+ modify CF_MATH_LIB configure macro to parameterize the test function
4903	  used, for reuse in dialog and similar packages.
4904	+ correct tests for file-descriptors in OS/2 EMX mouse support.  A
4905	  negative value could be used by FD_SET, causing the select() call
4906	  to wait indefinitely.
4907
490820000115
4909	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of delete_character)
4910	  to work when assume_default_colors() is not specified.
4911	+ modify warning message from _nc_parse_entry() regarding extended
4912	  capability names to print only if tic/infocmp/toe have the -v flag
4913	  set, and not at all in ordinary user applications.  Otherwise, this
4914	  warning would be shown for screen's extended capabilities in programs
4915	  that use the termcap interface (reported by Todd C Miller).
4916	+ modify use of _nc_tracing from programs such as tic so their debug
4917	  level is not in the same range as values set by trace() function.
4918	+ small panel header cleanup (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
4919	+ add 'railroad' demo for termcap interface.
4920	+ modify 'tic' to write its usage message to stderr (patch by Todd C
4921	  Miller).
4922
492320000108
4924	+ add prototype for erase() to curses.h.in, needed to make test
4925	  programs build with c++/g++.
4926	+ add .c.i and .c.h suffix rules to generated makefiles, for debugging.
4927	+ correct install rule for tack.1; it assumed that file was in the
4928	  current directory (reported by Mike Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com>).
4929	+ modify terminfo/termcap translation to suppress acsc before trying
4930	  sgr if the entry would be too large (patch by Todd C Miller).
4931	+ document a special case of incompatiblity between ncurses 4.2 and
4932	  5.0, add a section for this in INSTALL.
4933	+ add TRACE_DATABASE flag for trace().
4934
493520000101
4936	+ update mach, add mach-color terminfo entries based on Debian diffs
4937	  for ncurses 5.0 -TD
4938	+ add entries for xterm-hp, xterm-vt220, xterm-vt52 and xterm-noapp
4939	  terminfo entries -TD
4940	+ change OTrs capabilities to rs2 in terminfo.src -TD
4941	+ add obsolete and extended capabilities to 'screen' terminfo -TD
4942	+ corrected conversion from terminfo rs2 to termcap rs (cf: 980704)
4943	+ make conversion to termcap ug (underline glitch) more consistently
4944	  applied.
4945	+ fix out-of-scope use of 'personal[]' buffer in 'toe' (this error
4946	  was in the original pre-1.9.7 version, when $HOME/.terminfo was
4947	  introduced).
4948	+ modify 'toe' to ignore terminfo directories to which it has no
4949	  permissions.
4950	+ modify read_termtype(), fixing 'toe', which could dump core when it
4951	  found an incomplete entry such as "dumb" because it did not
4952	  initialize its buffer for _nc_read_file_entry().
4953	+ use -fPIC rather than -fpic for shared libraries on Linux, not
4954	  needed for i386 but some ports (from Debian diffs for 5.0) -TD
4955	+ use explicit VALID_NUMERIC() checks in a few places that had been
4956	  overlooked, and add a check to ensure that init_tabs is nonzero,
4957	  to avoid divide-by-zero (reported by Todd C Miller).
4958	+ minor fix for CF_ANSI_CC_CHECK configure macro, for HPUX 10.x (from
4959	  tin) -TD
4960
496119991218
4962	+ reorder tests during mouse initialization to allow for gpm to run in
4963	  xterm, or for xterm to be used under OS/2 EMX.  Also drop test for
4964	  $DISPLAY in favor of kmous=\E[M or $TERM containing "xterm" (report
4965	  by Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>).
4966	+ modify raw() and noraw() to clear/restore IEXTEN flag which affects
4967	  stty lnext on systems such as FreeBSD (report by Bruce Evans
4968	  <bde@zeta.org.au>, via Jason Evans <jasone@canonware.com>).
4969	+ fix a potential (but unlikely) buffer overflow in failed() function
4970	  of tset.c (reported by Todd C Miller).
4971	+ add manual-page for ncurses extensions, documented curses_version(),
4972	  use_extended_names().
4973
497419991211
4975	+ treat as untranslatable to termcap those terminfo strings which
4976	  contain non-decimal formatting, e.g., hexadecimal or octal.
4977	+ correct commented-out capabilities that cannot be translated to
4978	  termcap, which did not check if a colon must be escaped.
4979	+ correct termcap translation for "%>" and "%+", which did not check
4980	  if a colon must be escaped, for instance.
4981	+ use save_string/save_char for _nc_captoinfo() to eliminate fixed
4982	  buffer (originally for _nc_infotocap() in 960301 -TD).
4983	+ correct expression used for terminfo equivalent of termcap %B,
4984	  adjust regent100 entry which uses this.
4985	+ some cleanup and commenting of ad hoc cases in _nc_infotocap().
4986	+ eliminate a fixed-buffer in tic, used for translating comments.
4987	+ add manpage for infotocap
4988
498919991204
4990	+ add kvt and gnome terminfo entries -TD
4991	+ correct translation of "%%" by infotocap, which was emitted as "%".
4992	+ add "obsolete" termcap strings to terminfo.src
4993	+ modify infocmp to default to showing obsolete capabilities rather
4994	  than terminfo only.
4995	+ modify write_entry.c so that if extended names (i.e., configure
4996	  --enable-tcap-names) are active, then tic will also write "obsolete"
4997	  capabilities that are present in the terminfo source.
4998	+ modify tic so that when running as captoinfo or infotocap, it
4999	  initializes the output format as in -C and -I options, respectively.
5000	+ improve infocmp and tic -f option by splitting long strings that do
5001	  not have if-then-else construct, but do have parameters, e.g., the
5002	  initc for xterm-88color.
5003	+ refine MKtermsort.sh slightly by using bool for the *_from_termcap
5004	  arrays.
5005
500619991127
5007	+ additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of clear_screen,
5008	  clr_eol, clr_eos, scrolling) to work when assume_default_colors() is
5009	  not specified.
5010	+ several small changes to xterm terminfo entries -TD.
5011	+ move logic for _nc_windows in lib_freeall.c inside check for nonnull
5012	  SP, since it is part of that struct.
5013	+ remove obsolete shlib-versions, which was unintentionally re-added
5014	  in 970927.
5015	+ modify infocmp -e, -E options to ensure that generated fallback.c
5016	  type for Booleans agrees with term.h (reported by Eric Norum
5017	  <eric@cls.usask.ca>).
5018	+ correct configure script's use of $LIB_PREFIX, which did not work
5019	  for installing the c++ directory if $libdir did not end with "/lib"
5020	  (reported by Huy Le <huyle@ugcs.caltech.edu>).
5021	+ modify infocmp so -L and -f options work together.
5022	+ modify the initialization of SP->_color_table[] in start_color() so
5023	  that color_content() will return usable values for COLORS greater
5024	  than 8.
5025	+ modify ncurses 'd' test in case COLORS is greater than 16, e.g., for
5026	  xterm-88color, to limit the displayed/computed colors to 16.
5027	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
5028	+ simplify coding of the panel library according to suggestions by
5029	  Philippe Blain.
5030	+ improve macro coding for a few macros in curses.priv.h
5031
503219991113
5033	+ modify treatment of color pair 0 so that if ncurses is configured
5034	  to support default colors, and they are not active, then ncurses
5035	  will set that explicitly, not relying on orig_colors or orig_pair.
5036	+ add new extension, assume_default_colors() to provide better control
5037	  over the use of default colors.
5038	+ modify test programs to use more-specific ifdef's for existence of
5039	  wresize(), resizeterm() and use_default_colors().
5040	+ modify configure script to add specific ifdef's for some functions
5041	  that are included when --enable-ext-funcs is in effect, so their
5042	  existence can be ifdef'd in the test programs.
5043	+ reorder some configure options, moving those extensions that have
5044	  evolved from experimental status into a new section.
5045	+ change configure --enable-tcap-names to enable this by default.
5046
504719991106
5048	+ install tack's manpage (reported by Robert Weiner
5049	  <robert@progplus.com>)
5050	+ correct worm.c's handling of KEY_RESIZE (patch by Frank Heckenbach).
5051	+ modify curses.h.in, undef'ing some symbols to avoid conflict with C++
5052	  STL (reported by Matt Gerassimoff <mgeras@ticon.net>)
5053
505419991030
5055	+ modify linux terminfo entry to indicate that dim does not mix with
5056	  color (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@enteract.com>).
5057	+ correct several typos in terminfo entries related to missing '['
5058	  in CSI's -TD
5059	+ fix several compiler warnings in c++ binding (reported by Tim
5060	  Mooney for alphaev56-dec-osf4.0f
5061	+ rename parameter of _nc_free_entries() to accommodate lint.
5062	+ correct lint rule for tack, used incorrect list of source files.
5063	+ add case to config.guess, config.sub for Rhapsody.
5064	+ improve configure tests for libg++ and libstdc++ by omitting the
5065	  math library (which is missing on Rhapsody), and improved test for
5066	  the math library itself (adapted from path by Nelson H. F. Beebe).
5067	+ explicitly initialize to zero several data items which were
5068	  implicitly initialized, e.g., cur_term.  If not explicitly
5069	  initialized, their storage type is C (common), and causes problems
5070	  linking on Rhapsody 5.5 using gcc 2.7.2.1 (reported by Nelson H. F.
5071	  Beebe).
5072	+ modify Ada95 binding to not include the linker option for Ada
5073	  bindings in the Ada headers, but in the Makefiles instead (patch by
5074	  Juergen Pfeifer).
5075
507619991023 5.0 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
5077	+ effective with release of 5.0, change NCURSES_VERSION_PATCH to
5078	  4-digit year.
5079	+ add function curses_version(), to return ncurses library version
5080	  (request by Bob van der Poel).
5081	+ remove rmam, smam from cygwin terminfo entry.
5082	+ modify FreeBSD cons25 terminfo entry to add cnorm and cvvis, as well
5083	  as update ncv to indicate that 'dim' conflicts with colors.
5084	+ modify configure script to use symbolic links for FreeBSD shared
5085	  libraries by default.
5086	+ correct ranf() function in rain and worm programs to ensure it does
5087	  not return 1.0
5088	+ hide the cursor in hanoi.c if it is running automatically.
5089	+ amend lrtest.c to account for optimizations that exploit margin
5090	  wrapping.
5091	+ add a simple terminfo demo, dots.c
5092	+ modify SIGINT/SIGQUIT handler to set a flag used in _nc_outch() to
5093	  tell it to use write() rather than putc(), since the latter is not
5094	  safe in a signal handler according to POSIX.
5095	+ add/use internal macros _nc_flush() and NC_OUTPUT to hide details
5096	  of output-file pointer in ncurses library.
5097	+ uncomment CC_SHARED_OPTS (see 971115), since they are needed for SCO
5098	  OpenServer.
5099	+ correct CC_SHARED_OPTS for building shared libraries for SCO
5100	  OpenServer.
5101	+ remove usleep() from alternatives in napms(), since it may interact
5102	  with alarm(), causing a process to be interrupted by SIGALRM (with
5103	  advice from Bela Lubkin).
5104	+ modify terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4 to build/work with
5105	  GNAT 3.10 (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
5106	+ remove part of CF_GPP_LIBRARY configure-script macro, which did not
5107	  work with gcc 2.7.2.3
5108	+ minor fix to test/tclock.c to avoid beeping more than once per second
5109	+ add 's' and ' ' decoding to test/rain.c
5110
5111991016	pre-release
5112	+ corrected BeOS code for lib_twait.c, making nodelay() function work.
5113
5114991009	pre-release
5115	+ correct ncurses' value for cursor-column in PutCharLR(), which was
5116	  off-by-one in one case (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).
5117	+ fix some minor errors in position_check() debugging code, found while
5118	  using this to validate the PutCharLR() patch.
5119	+ modify firework, lrtest, worm examples to be resizable, and to
5120	  recognize 'q' for quit, 's' for single-step and ' ' for resume.
5121	+ restore reverted change to  terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
5122	  add a note on building with gnat 3.10p to Ada95/TODO.
5123	+ add a copy of the standalone configure script for the test-directory
5124	  to simplify testing on SCO and Solaris.
5125
5126991002	pre-release
5127	+ minor fixes for _nc_msec_cost(), color_content(), pair_content(),
5128	  _nc_freewin(), ClrBottom() and onscreen_mvcur() (analysis by Philippe
5129	  Blain, comments by Alexander V Lukyanov).
5130	+ simplify definition of PANEL and eliminate internal functions
5131	  _nc_calculate_obscure(), _nc_free_obscure() and _nc_override(),
5132	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, analysis by Philippe Blain
5133	  <bledp@voila.fr>)).
5134	+ change renaming of dft_fgbg.3x to use_default_colors.3ncurses in
5135	  man_db.renames, since Debian is not concerned with 14-character
5136	  filename limitation (Debian bug report by Josip Rodin
5137	  <joy@cibalia.gkvk.hr>).
5138	+ corrected scoansi terminfo entry by testing with scoterm and console.
5139	+ revert change from 990614 to terminal_interface-curses-forms.ads.m4,
5140	  since this does not work for gnat 3.10p
5141	+ modify tclock example to be resizable (if ncurses' sigwinch handler
5142	  is used), and in color.
5143	+ use $(CC) rather than 'gcc' in MK_SHARED_LIB symbols, used for Linux
5144	  shared library rules.
5145
5146990925	pre-release
5147	+ add newer NetBSD console terminfo entries
5148	+ add amiga-8bit terminfo entry (from Henning 'Faroul' Peters
5149	  <Faroul@beyond.kn-bremen.de>)
5150	+ remove -lcurses -ltermcap from configure script's check for the gpm
5151	  library, since they are not really necessary (a properly configured
5152	  gpm library has no dependency on any curses library), and if the
5153	  curses library is not installed, this would cause the test to fail.
5154	+ modify tic's -C option so that terminfo "use=" clauses are translated
5155	  to "tc=" clauses even when running it as captoinfo.
5156	+ modify CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY configure macro to perform its check only
5157	  for GNU C++, since that library conflicts with SGI's libC on IRIX-6.2
5158	+ modify CF_SHARED_OPTS configure macro to support build on NetBSD with
5159	  ELF libraries (patch by Bernd Ernesti <bernd@arresum.inka.de>).
5160	+ correct a problem in libpanel, where the _nc_top_panel variable was
5161	  not set properly when bottom_panel() is called to hide a panel which
5162	  is the only one on the stack (report/analysis by Michael Andres
5163	  <ma@suse.de>, patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
5164
5165990918	pre-release
5166	+ add acsc string to HP 70092 terminfo entry (patch by Joerg Wunsch
5167	  <j@interface-business.de>).
5168	+ add top-level uninstall.data and uninstall.man makefile rules.
5169	+ correct logic of CF_LINK_FUNCS configure script, from BeOS changes so
5170	  that hard-links work on Unix again.
5171	+ change default value of cf_cv_builtin_bool to 1 (suggested by
5172	  Jeremy Buhler), making it less likely that a conflicting declaration
5173	  of bool will be seen when compiling with C++.
5174
5175990911	pre-release
5176	+ improved configure checks for builtin.h
5177	+ minor changes to C++ binding (remove static initializations, and make
5178	  configure-test for parameter initializations) for features not
5179	  allowed by vendor's C++ compilers (reported by Martin Mokrejs, this
5180	  applies to SGI, though I found SCO has the same characteristics).
5181	+ corrected quoting of ETIP_xxx definitions which support old versions
5182	  of g++, e.g., those using -lg++
5183	+ remove 'L' code from safe_sprintf.c, since 'long double' is not
5184	  widely portable.  safe_sprintf.c is experimental, however, and
5185	  exists mainly as a fallback for systems without snprintf (reported
5186	  by Martin Mokrejs <mmokrejs@natur.cuni.cz>, for IRIX 6.2)
5187	+ modify definition of _nc_tinfo_fkeys in broken-linker configuration
5188	  so that it is not unnecessarily made extern (Jeffrey C Honig).
5189
5190990904	pre-release
5191	+ move definition for builtin.h in configure tests to specific check
5192	  for libg++, since qt uses the same filename incompatibly.
5193	+ correct logic of lib_termcap.c tgetstr function, which did not copy
5194	  the result to the buffer parameter.  Testing shows Solaris does
5195	  update this, though of course tgetent's buffer is untouched (reported
5196	  in Peter Edwards <peter.edwards@ireland.com> in
5197	  mpc.lists.freebsd.current newsgroup.
5198	+ corrected beterm terminfo entry, which lists some capabilities which
5199	  are not actually provided by the BeOS Terminal.
5200	+ add special logic to replace select() calls on BeOS, whose select()
5201	  function works only for sockets.
5202	+ correct missing escape in mkterm.h.awk.in, which caused part
5203	  of the copyright noticed to be omitted (reported by Peter
5204	  Wemm <peter@netplex.com.au>).
5205	> several small changes to make the c++ binding and demo work on OS/2
5206	  EMX (related to a clean reinstall of EMX):
5207	+ correct library-prefix for c++ binding; none is needed.
5208	+ add $x suffix to make_hash and make_keys so 'make distclean' works.
5209	+ correct missing $x suffix for tack, c++ demo executables.
5210	+ split CF_CXX_LIBRARY into CF_GPP_LIBRARY (for -lg++) and
5211	  CF_STDCPP_LIBRARY (for -lstdc++)
5212
5213990828	pre-release
5214	+ add cygwin terminfo entry -TD
5215	+ modify CF_PROG_EXT configure macro to set .exe extension for cygwin.
5216	+ add configure option --without-cxx-binding, modifying the existing
5217	  --without-cxx option to check only for the C++ compiler
5218	  characteristics.  Whether or not the C++ binding is needed, the
5219	  configure script checks for the size/type of bool, to make ncurses
5220	  match.  Otherwise C++ applications cannot use ncurses.
5221
5222990821	pre-release
5223	+ updated configure macros CF_MAKEFLAGS, CF_CHECK_ERRNO
5224	+ minor corrections to beterm terminfo entry.
5225	+ modify lib_setup.c to reject values of $TERM which have a '/' in
5226	  them.
5227	+ add ifdef's to guard against CS5, CS6, CS7, CS8 being zero, as more
5228	  than one is on BeOS.  That would break a switch statement.
5229	+ add configure macro CF_LINK_FUNCS to detect and work around BeOS's
5230	  nonfunctional link().
5231	+ improved configure macros CF_BOOL_DECL and CF_BOOL_SIZE to detect
5232	  BeOS's bool, which is declared as an unsigned char.
5233
5234990814	pre-release
5235	+ add ms-vt100 terminfo entry -TD
5236	+ minor fixes for misc/emx.src, based on testing with tack.
5237	+ minor fix for test/ncurses.c, test 'a', in case ncv is not set.
5238
5239990731	pre-release
5240	+ minor correction for 'screen' terminfo entry.
5241	+ clarify description of errret values for setupterm in manpage.
5242	+ modify tput to allow it to emit capabilities for hardcopy terminals
5243	  (patch by Goran Uddeborg <goeran@uddeborg.pp.se>).
5244	+ modify the 'o' (panel) test in ncurses.c to show the panels in color
5245	  or at least in bold, to test Juergen's change to wrefresh().
5246	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
5247	+ Fixes a problem using wbkgdset() with panels.  It has actually
5248	  nothing to with panels but is a problem in the implementation of
5249	  wrefresh().  Whenever a window changes its background attribute to
5250	  something different than newscr's background attribute, the whole
5251	  window is touched to force a copy to newscr.  This is an unwanted
5252	  side-effect of wrefresh() and it is actually not necessary.  A
5253	  changed background attribute affects only further outputs of
5254	  background it doesn't mean anything to the current content of the
5255	  window.  So there is no need to force a copy.  (reported by Frank
5256	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>).
5257	+ an upward compatible enhancement of the NCursesPad class in the C++
5258	  binding.  It allows one to add a "viewport" window to a pad and then
5259	  to use panning to view the pad through the viewport window.
5260
5261990724	pre-release
5262	+ suppress a call to def_prog_mode() in the SIGTSTP handler if the
5263	  signal was received while not in curses mode, e.g., endwin() was
5264	  called in preparation for spawning a shell command (reported by Frank
5265	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
5266	+ corrected/enhanced xterm-r5, xterm+sl, xterm+sl-twm terminfo entries.
5267	+ change test for xterm mouse capability:  it now checks only if the
5268	  user's $DISPLAY variable is set in conjunction with the kmous
5269	  capability being present in the terminfo.  Before, it checked if any
5270	  of "xterm", "rxvt" or "kterm" were substrings of the terminal name.
5271	  However, some emulators which are incompatible with xterm in other
5272	  ways do support the xterm mouse capability.
5273	+ reviewed and made minor changes in ncurses to quiet g++ warnings
5274	  about shadowed or uninitialized variables.  g++ incorrectly warns
5275	  about uninitialized variables because it does not take into account
5276	  short-circuit expression evaluation.
5277	+ change ncurses 'b' test to start in color pair 0 and to show in the
5278	  right margin those attributes which are suppressed by no_color_video,
5279	  i.e., "(NCV)".
5280	+ modify ifdef's in curses.h so that __attribute__ is not redefined
5281	  when compiling with g++, but instead disabled the macros derived for
5282	  __attribute__ since g++ does not consistently recognize the same
5283	  keywords as gcc (reported by Stephan K Zitz <zitz@erf.net>).
5284	+ update dependencies for term.h in ncurses/modules (reported by
5285	  Ilya Zakharevich).
5286
5287990710	pre-release
5288	+ modify the form demo in ncurses.c to illustrate how to manipulate the
5289	  field appearance, e.g, for highlighting or translating the field
5290	  contents.
5291	+ correct logic in write_entry from split-out of home_terminfo in
5292	  980919, which prevented update of $HOME/.terminfo (reported by Philip
5293	  Spencer <pspencer@fields.utoronto.ca>).
5294
5295990703	pre-release
5296	+ modify linux terminfo description to make use of kernel 2.2.x mods
5297	  that support cursor style, e.g., to implement cvvis (patch by Frank
5298	  Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>)
5299	+ add special-case in setupterm to retain previously-saved terminal
5300	  settings in cur_term, which happens when curses and termcap calls are
5301	  mixed (from report by Bjorn Helgaas <helgaas@dhc.net>).
5302	+ suppress initialization of key-tries in _nc_keypad() if we are only
5303	  disabling keypad mode, e.g., in endwin() called when keypad() was
5304	  not.
5305	+ modify the Ada95 makefile to ensure that always the Ada files from
5306	  the development tree are used for building and not the eventually
5307	  installed ones (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
5308
5309990626	pre-release
5310	+ use TTY definition in tack/sysdep.c rather than struct termios
5311	  (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
5312	+ add a fallback for strstr, used in lib_mvcur.c and tack/edit.c,
5313	  not present on sysV68 (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
5314	+ correct definition in comp_hash.c to build with configure
5315	  --with-rcs-ids option.
5316
5317990619	pre-release
5318	+ modified ifdef's for sigaction and sigvec to ensure we do not try to
5319	  handle SIGTSTP if neither is available (from report by Philippe De
5320	  Muyter).
5321	> patch by Philippe De Muyter:
5322	+ in tic.c, use `unlink' if `remove' is not available.
5323	+ use only `unsigned' as fallback value for `speed_t'.  Some files used
5324	  `short' instead.
5325
5326990616	pre-release
5327	+ fix some compiler warnings in tack.
5328	+ add a check for predefined bool type in CC, based on report that
5329	  BeOS predefines a bool type.
5330	+ correct logic for infocmp -e option, i.e., the configure
5331	  --with-fallbacks option, which I'd not updated when implementing
5332	  extended names (cf:  990301).  The new implementation adds a "-E"
5333	  option to infocmp -TD
5334	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
5335	+ introduce the private type Curses_Bool in the Ada95 binding
5336	  implementation.  This is to clearly represent the use of "bool" also
5337	  in the binding.  It should have no effect on the generated code.
5338	+ improve the man page for field_buffer() to tell the people, that the
5339	  whole buffer including leading/trailing spaces is returned.  This is
5340	  a common source of confusion, so it's better to document it clearly.
5341
5342990614	pre-release
5343	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
5344	+ use pragma PreElaborate in several places.
5345	+ change a few System.Address uses to more specific types.
5346	+ change interface version-number to 1.0
5347	+ regenerate Ada95 HTML files.
5348
5349990612	pre-release
5350	+ modify lib_endwin.c to avoid calling reset_shell_mode(), return ERR
5351	  if it appears that curses was never initialized, e.g., by initscr().
5352	  For instance, this guards against setting the terminal modes to
5353	  strange values if endwin() is called after setupterm().  In the same
5354	  context, Solaris curses will dump core.
5355	+ modify logic that avoids a conflict in lib_vidattr.c between sgr0 and
5356	  equivalent values in rmso or rmul by ensuring we do not modify the
5357	  data which would be returned by the terminfo or termcap interfaces
5358	  (reported by Brad Pepers <brad@linuxcanada.com>, cf:  960706).
5359	+ add a null-pointer check for SP in lib_vidattr.c to logic that checks
5360	  for magic cookies.
5361	+ improve fallback declaration of 'bool' when the --without-cxx option
5362	  is given, by using a 'char' on i386 and related hosts (prompted by
5363	  discussion with Alexander V Lukyanov).
5364
5365990605	pre-release
5366	+ include time.h in lib_napms.c if nanosleep is used (patch by
5367	  R Lindsay Todd <toddr@rpi.edu>).
5368	+ add an "#undef bool" to curses.h, in case someone tries to define it,
5369	  e.g., perl.
5370	+ add check to tparm to guard against divide by zero (reported by Aaron
5371	  Campbell <aaron@ug.cs.dal.ca>).
5372
5373990516	pre-release
5374	+ minor fix to build tack on CLIX (mismatched const).
5375	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
5376	+ change Juergen's old email address with new one in the files where it
5377	  is referenced.  The Ada95 HTML pages are regenerated.
5378	+ update MANIFEST to list the tack files.
5379
5380990509	pre-release
5381	+ minor fixes to make 'tack' build/link on NeXT (reported by Francisco
5382	  A. Tomei Torres).
5383
5384990417	pre-release
5385	+ add 'tack' program (which is GPL'd), updating it to work with the
5386	  modified TERMTYPE struct and making a fix to support setaf/setab
5387	  capabilities.  Note that the tack program is not part of the
5388	  ncurses libraries, but an application which can be distributed with
5389	  ncurses.  The configure script will ignore the directory if it is
5390	  omitted, however.
5391	+ modify gpm mouse support so that buttons 2 and 3 are used for
5392	  select/paste only when shift key is pressed, making them available
5393	  for use by an application (patch by Klaus Weide).
5394	+ add complete list of function keys to scoansi terminfo entry - TD
5395
5396990410	pre-release
5397	+ add a simple test program cardfile.c to illustrate how to read form
5398	  fields, and showing forms within panels.
5399	+ change shared-library versioning for the Hurd to be like Linux rather
5400	  than *BSD (patch by Mark Kettenis <kettenis@wins.uva.nl>).
5401	+ add linux-lat terminfo entry.
5402	+ back-out _nc_access check in read_termcap.c (both incorrect and
5403	  unnecessary, except to guard against a small window where the file's
5404	  ownership may change).
5405
5406990403	pre-release
5407	+ remove conflicting _nc_free_termtype() function from test module
5408	  lib_freeall.c
5409	+ use _nc_access check in read_termcap.c for termpaths[] array (noted
5410	  by Jeremy Buhler, indicating that Alan Cox made a similar patch).
5411	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
5412	+ modify menu creation to not inherit status flag from the default menu
5413	  which says that the associated marker string has been allocated and
5414	  should be freed (bug reported by Marek Paliwoda"
5415	  <paliwoda@kki.net.pl>)
5416
5417990327	pre-release (alpha.gnu.org:/gnu/ncurses-5.0-beta1.tar.gz)
5418	+ minor fixes to xterm-xfree86 terminfo entry - TD.
5419	+ split up an expression in configure script check for ldconfig to
5420	  workaround limitation of BSD/OS sh (reported by Jeff Haas
5421	  <jmh@mail.msen.com>).
5422	+ correct a typo in man/form_hook.3x (Todd C Miller).
5423
5424990318	pre-release
5425	+ parenthesize and undef 'index' symbol in c++ binding and demo, to
5426	  accommodate its definition on NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei
5427	  Torres).
5428	+ add sigismember() to base/sigaction.c compatibility to link on NeXT
5429	  (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
5430	+ further refinements to inequality in hashmap.c to cover a case with
5431	  ^U in nvi (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
5432
5433990316	pre-release
5434	+ add fallback definition for getcwd, to link on NeXT.
5435	+ add a copy of cur_term to tic.c to make it link properly on NeXT
5436	  (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
5437	+ change inequality in hashmap.c which checks the distance traveled by
5438	  a chunk so that ^D command in nvi (scrolls 1/2 screen) will use
5439	  scrolling logic (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov, reported by Jeffrey
5440	  C Honig).
5441
5442990314	pre-release
5443	+ modify lib_color.c to handle a special case where the curscr
5444	  attributes have been made obsolete (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
5445	+ update BSD/OS console terminfo entries to use klone+sgr and
5446	  klone+color (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
5447	+ update glibc addon configure script for extended capabilities.
5448	+ correct a couple of warnings in the --enable-const configuration.
5449	+ make comp_hash build properly with _nc_strdup(), on NeXT (reported by
5450	  Francisco A. Tomei Torres <francisco.tomei@cwix.com>).
5451
5452990313	pre-release
5453	+ correct typos in linux-c initc string - TD
5454	+ add 'crt' terminfo entry, update xterm-xfree86 entry - TD
5455	+ remove a spurious argument to tparm() in lib_sklrefr.c (patch by
5456	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
5457
5458990307	pre-release
5459	+ back-out change to wgetch because it causes a problem with ^Z
5460	  handling in lynx (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
5461
5462990306	pre-release
5463	+ add -G option to tic and infocmp, to reverse the -g option.
5464	+ recode functions in name_match.c to avoid use of strncpy, which
5465	  caused a 4-fold slowdown in tic (cf: 980530).
5466	+ correct a few warnings about sign-extension in recent changes.
5467	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
5468	+ fixes suggested by Jeff Bradbury <jibradbury@lucent.com>:
5469	  + improved parameter checking in new_fieldtype().
5470	  + fixed a typo in wgetch() timeout handling.
5471	  + allow slk_init() to be called per newterm call.  The internal SLK
5472	    state is stored in the SCREEN struct after every newterm() and then
5473	    reset for the next newterm.
5474	  + fix the problem that a slk_refresh() refreshes stdscr if the
5475	    terminal has true SLKs.
5476	+ update HTML documentation for Ada binding.
5477
5478990301	pre-release
5479	+ remove 'bool' casts from definitions of TRUE/FALSE so that statements
5480	  such as "#if TRUE" work.  This was originally done to allow for a C++
5481	  compiler which would warn of implicit conversions between enum and
5482	  int, but is not needed for g++ (reported by Kim DeVaughn).
5483	+ add use_extended_names() function to allow applications to suppress
5484	  read of the extended capabilities.
5485	+ add configure option --enable-tcap-names to support logic which
5486	  allows ncurses' tic to define new (i.e., extended) terminal
5487	  capabilities.  This is activated by the tic -x switch.  The infocmp
5488	  program automatically shows or compares extended capabilities.
5489	  Note:  This changes the Strings and similar arrays in the TERMTYPE
5490	  struct so that applications which manipulate it must be recompiled.
5491	+ use macros typeMalloc, typeCalloc and typeRealloc consistently
5492	  throughout ncurses library.
5493	+ add _nc_strdup() to doalloc.c.
5494	+ modify define_key() to allow multiple strings to be bound to the
5495	  same keycode.
5496	+ correct logic error in _nc_remove_string, from 990220.
5497	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
5498	+ regenerate some of the html documentation
5499	+ minor cleanup in terminal_interface-curses.adb
5500
5501990220	pre-release
5502	+ resolve ambiguity of kend/kll/kslt and khome/kfnd/kich1 strings in
5503	  xterm and ncsa terminfo entries by removing the unneeded ones.  Note
5504	  that some entries will return kend & khome versus kslt and kfnd, for
5505	  PC-style keyboards versus strict vt220 compatiblity - TD
5506	+ add function keybound(), which returns the definition associated with
5507	  a given keycode.
5508	+ modify define_key() to undefine the given string when no keycode is
5509	  given.
5510	+ modify keyok() so it works properly if there is more than one string
5511	  defined for a keycode.
5512	+ add check to tic to warn about terminfo descriptions that contain
5513	  more than one key assigned to the same string.  This is shown only if
5514	  the verbose (-v) option is given.  Moved related logic (tic -v) from
5515	  comp_parse.c into the tic program.
5516	+ add/use _nc_trace_tries() to show the function keys that will be
5517	  recognized.
5518	+ rename init_acs to _nc_init_acs (request by Alexander V Lukyanov).
5519	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
5520	+ remove all the *_adabind.c from ncurses, menu and form projects.
5521	  Those little helper routines have all been implemented in Ada and are
5522	  no longer required.
5523	+ The option handling routines in menu and form have been made more
5524	  save.  They now make sure that the unused bits in options are always
5525	  zero.
5526	+ modify configuration scripts to
5527	  + use gnatmake as default compiler name.  This is a safer choice than
5528	    gcc, because some GNAT implementations use other names for the
5529	    compilerdriver to avoid conflicts.
5530	  + use new default installation locations for the Ada files according
5531	    to the proposed GNU Ada filesystem standard (for Linux).
5532	+ simplify the Makefiles for the Ada binding
5533	+ rename ada_include directory to src.
5534
5535990213
5536	+ enable sigwinch handler by default.
5537	+ disable logic that allows setbuf to be turned off/on, because some
5538	  implementations will overrun the buffer after it has been disabled
5539	  once.
5540
5541990206
5542	+ suppress sc/rc capabilities from terminal description if they appear
5543	  in smcup/rmcup.  This affects only scrolling optimization, to fix a
5544	  problem reported by several people with xterm's alternate screen,
5545	  though the problem is more general.
5546	> patch for Ada95 binding (Juergen Pfeifer):
5547	+ removed all pragma Preelaborate() stuff, because the just released
5548	  gnat-3.11p complains on some constructs.
5549	+ fixed some upper/lower case notations because gnat-3.11p found
5550	  inconsistent use.
5551	+ used a new method to generate the HTML documentation of the Ada95
5552	  binding.  This invalidates nearly the whole ./Ada95/html subtree.
5553	  Nearly all current files in this subtree are removed
5554
5555990130
5556	+ cache last result from _nc_baudrate, for performance (suggested by
5557	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
5558	+ modify ClrUpdate() function to workaround a problem in nvi, which
5559	  uses redrawwin in SIGTSTP handling.  Jeffrey C Honig reported that
5560	  ncurses repainted the screen with nulls before resuming normal
5561	  operation (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
5562	+ generalize is_xterm() function a little by letting xterm/rxvt/kterm
5563	  be any substring rather than the prefix.
5564	+ modify lib_data.c to initialize SP.  Some linkers, e.g., IBM's, will
5565	  not link a module if the only symbols exported from the module are
5566	  uninitialized ones (patch by Ilya Zakharevich).  Ilya says that he
5567	  has seen messages claiming this behavior conforms to the standard.)
5568	+ move call on _nc_signal_handler past _nc_initscr, to avoid a small
5569	  window where Nttyb hasn't yet been filled (reported by Klaus Weide).
5570	+ modify lib_tstp.c to block SIGTTOU when handling SIGTSTP, fixes a
5571	  problem where ncurses applications which were run via a shell script
5572	  would hang when given a ^Z.  Also, check if the terminal's process
5573	  group is consistent, i.e., a shell has not taken ownership of it,
5574	  before deciding to save the current terminal settings in the SIGTSTP
5575	  handler (patch by Klaus Weide).
5576	+ correct spelling of ACS_ names in curs_border.3x (reported by Bob van
5577	  der Poel <bvdpoel@kootenay.com>).
5578	+ correct a couple of typos in the macros supporting the configure
5579	  --with-shlib-version option.
5580
5581990123
5582	+ modify fty_regex.c to compile on HAVE_REGEXPR_H_FUNCS machine (patch
5583	  by Kimio Ishii <ishii@csl.sony.co.jp>).
5584	+ rename BSDI console terminfo entries:  bsdos to bsdos-pc-nobold, and
5585	  bsdos-bold to bsdos-pc (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
5586	+ modify tput to accept termcap names as an alternative to terminfo
5587	  names (patch by Jeffrey C Honig).
5588	+ correct a typo in term.7 (Todd C Miller).
5589	+ add configure --with-shlib-version option to allow installing shared
5590	  libraries named according to release or ABI versions.  This
5591	  parameterizes some existing logic in the configure script, and is
5592	  intended for compatiblity upgrades on Digital Unix, which used
5593	  versioned libraries in ncurses 4.2, but no longer does (cf:  980425).
5594	+ resync configure script against autoconf 2.13 + patches
5595	+ minor improvements for teraterm terminfo entry based on the program's
5596	  source distribution.
5597
5598990116
5599	+ change default for configure --enable-big-core to assume machines do
5600	  have enough memory to resolve terminfo.src in-memory.
5601	+ correct name of ncurses library in TEST_ARGS when configuring with
5602	  debug library.
5603	+ minor fixes to compile ncurses library with broken-linker with g++.
5604	+ add --enable-broken-linker configure option, default to environment
5605	  variable $BROKEN_LINKER (request by Jeffrey C Honig).
5606	+ change key_names[] array to static since it is not part of the curses
5607	  interface (reported by Jeffrey C Honig <jch@bsdi.com>).
5608
5609990110
5610	+ add Tera Term terminfo entry - TD
5611
5612990109
5613	+ reviewed/corrected macros in curses.h as per XSI document.
5614	+ provide support for termcap PC variable by copying it from terminfo
5615	  data and using it as the padding character in tputs (reported by
5616	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
5617	+ corrected iris-ansi and iris-ansi-ap terminfo entries for kent and
5618	  kf9-kf12 capabilities, as well as adding kcbt.
5619	+ document the mouse handling mechanism in menu_driver and make a small
5620	  change in menu_driver's return codes to provide more consistency
5621	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
5622	+ add fallback definition for NCURSES_CONST to termcap.h.in (reported
5623	  by Uchiyama Yasushi <uch@nop.or.jp>).
5624	+ move lib_restart.c to ncurses/base, since it uses curses functions
5625	  directly, and therefore cannot be used in libtinfo.so
5626	+ rename micro_char_size to micro_col_size, adding #define to retain
5627	  old name.
5628	+ add set_a_attributes and set_pglen_inch to terminfo structure, as per
5629	  XSI and Solaris 2.5.
5630	+ minor makefile files to build ncurses test_progs
5631	+ update html files in misc directory to reflect changes since 4.2
5632
5633990102
5634	+ disable scroll hints when hashmap is enabled (patch by Alexander
5635	  V Lukyanov).
5636	+ move logic for tic's verify of -e option versus -I and -C so that the
5637	  terminfo data is not processed if we cannot handle -e (reported by
5638	  Steven Schwartz <steves@unitrends.com>.
5639	+ add test-driver traces to terminfo and termcap functions.
5640	+ provide support for termcap ospeed variable by copying it from the
5641	  internal cur_term member, and using ospeed as the baudrate reference
5642	  for the delay_output and tputs functions.  If an application does not
5643	  set ospeed, the library behaves as before, except that _nc_timed_wait
5644	  is no longer used, or needed, since ospeed always has a value.  But
5645	  the application can modify ospeed to adjust the output of padding
5646	  characters (prompted by a bug report for screen 3.7.6 and email from
5647	  Michael Schroeder <Michael.Schroeder@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>).
5648	+ removed some unused ifdef's as part of Alexander's restructuring.
5649	+ reviewed/updated curses.h, term.h against X/Open Curses Issue 4
5650	  Version 2.  This includes making some parameters NCURSES_CONST
5651	  rather than const, e.g., in termcap.h.
5652	+ change linux terminfo entry to use ncv#2, since underline does not
5653	  work with color
5654
5655981226
5656	+ miscellaneous corrections for curses.h to match XSI.
5657	+ change --enable-no-padding configure option to be normally enabled.
5658	+ add section to ncurses manpage for environment variables.
5659	+ investigated Debian bug report that pertains to screen 3.7.4/3.7.6
5660	  changes, found no sign of problems on Linux (or on SunOS, Solaris)
5661	  running screen built with ncurses.
5662	+ check if tmp_fp is opened in tic.c before closing it (patch by Pavel
5663	  Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>).
5664	+ correct several font specification typos in man-pages.
5665
5666981220
5667	+ correct default value for BUILD_CC (reported by Larry Virden).
5668
5669981219
5670	+ modify _nc_set_writedir() to set a flag in _nc_tic_dir() to prevent
5671	  it from changing the terminfo directory after chdir'ing to it.
5672	  Otherwise, a relative path in $TERMINFO would confuse tic (prompted
5673	  by a Debian bug report).
5674	+ correct/update ncsa terminfo entry (report by Larry Virden).
5675	+ update xterm-xfree86 terminfo to current (patch 90), smcur/rmcur
5676	  changes
5677	+ add Mathew Vernon's mach console entries to terminfo.src
5678	+ more changes, moving functions, as part of Alexander's restructuring.
5679	+ modify configure script for GNU/Hurd share-library support, introduce
5680	  BUILD_CC variable for cross compiling (patch by Uchiyama Yasushi
5681	  <uch@nop.or.jp>)
5682
5683981212
5684	+ add environment variable NCURSES_NO_SETBUF to allow disabling the
5685	  setbuf feature, for testing purposes.
5686	+ correct ifdef's for termcap.h versus term.h that suppress redundant
5687	  declarations of prototypes (reported by H.J.Lu).
5688	+ modify Makefile.os2 to add linker flags which allow multiple copies
5689	  of an application to coexist (reported by Ilya Zakharevich).
5690	+ update Makefile.glibc and associated configure script so that ncurses
5691	  builds as a glibc add-on with the new directory configuration
5692	  (reported by H.J.Lu).
5693
5694981205
5695	+ modify gen_reps() function in gen.c to work properly on SunOS
5696	  (sparc), which is a left-to-right architecture.
5697	+ modify relative_move and tputs to avoid an interaction with the
5698	  BSD-style padding.  The relative_move function could produce a string
5699	  to replace on the screen which began with a numeric character, which
5700	  was then interpreted by tputs as padding.  Now relative_move will not
5701	  generate a string with a leading digit in that case (overwrite).
5702	  Also, tputs will only interpret padding if the string begins with a
5703	  digit; as coded it permitted a string to begin with a decimal point
5704	  or asterisk (reported by Larry Virden).
5705	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
5706	+ fix a typo in m_driver.c mouse handling and improves the error
5707	  handling.
5708	+ fix broken mouse handling in the Ada95 binding
5709	+ make the Ada95 sample application menus work with the new menu mouse
5710	  support
5711	+ improve the mouse handling introduced by Ilya; it now handles menus
5712	  with spacing.
5713	+ repair a minor bug in the menu_driver code discovered during this
5714	  rework.
5715	+ add new function wmouse_trafo() to hide implementation details of
5716	  _yoffset member of WINDOW struct needed for mouse coordinate
5717	  transformation.
5718
5719981128
5720	+ modify Ada95/gen/gen.c to avoid using return-value of sprintf, since
5721	  some older implementations (e.g., SunOS 4.x) return the buffer
5722	  address rather than its length.
5723	> patch by Rick Ohnemus:
5724	+ modify demo.cc to get it to compile with newer versions of egcs.
5725	+ trim a space that appears at the end of the table preprocessor lines
5726	  ('\" t).  This space prevents some versions of man from displaying
5727	  the pages - changed to remove all trailing whitespace (TD)
5728	+ finally, 'make clean' does not remove panel objects.
5729	> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
5730	+ allow remapping of OS/2 mouse buttons using environment variable
5731	  MOUSE_BUTTONS_123 with the default value 132.
5732	+ add mouse support to ncurses menus.
5733
5734981121
5735	+ modify misc/makedef.cmd to report old-style .def file symbols, and to
5736	  generate the .def files sorted by increasing names rather than the
5737	  reverse.
5738	+ add misc/*.ref which are J.J.G.Ripoll's dll definition files (renamed
5739	  from misc/*.old), and updated based on the entrypoint coding he used
5740	  for an older version of ncurses.
5741	+ add README.emx, to document how to build on OS/2 EMX.
5742	+ updates for config.guess, config.sub from Lynx
5743	> patches by Ilya Zakharevich:
5744	+ minor fixes for mouse handling mode:
5745	  a) Do not initialize mouse if the request is to have no mouse;
5746	  b) Allow switching of OS/2 VIO mouse on and off.
5747	+ modify Makefile.os2 to support alternative means of generating
5748	  configure script, by translating Unix script with Perl.
5749	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
5750	+ Updates MANIFEST to reflect changes in source structure
5751	+ Eliminates a problem introduced with my last patch for the C++
5752	  binding in the panels code.  It removes the update() call done in the
5753	  panel destructor.
5754	+ Changes in the Ada95 binding to better support systems where
5755	  sizeof(chtype)!=sizeof(int) (e.g.  DEC Alpha).
5756
5757981114
5758	+ modify install-script for manpages to skip over .orig and .rej files
5759	  (request by Larry Virden).
5760	> patches/discussion by Alexander V Lukyanov:
5761	+ move base-library sources into ncurses/base and tty (serial terminal)
5762	  sources into ncurses/tty, as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's proposed
5763	  changes to ncurses library.
5764	+ copy _tracemouse() into ncurses.c so that lib_tracemse.c need not
5765	  be linked into the normal ncurses library.
5766	+ move macro winch to a function, to hide details of struct ldat
5767	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
5768	+ fix a potential compile problem in cursesw.cc
5769	+ some Ada95 cosmetics
5770	+ fix a gen.c problem when compiling on 64-Bit machines
5771	+ fix Ada95/gen/Makefile.in "-L" linker switch
5772	+ modify Ada95 makefiles to use the INSTALL_PREFIX setting.
5773
5774981107
5775	+ ifdef'd out lib_freeall.c when not configured.
5776	+ rename _tracebits() to _nc_tracebits().
5777	+ move terminfo-library sources into ncurses/tinfo, and trace-support
5778	  functions into ncurses/trace as part of Alexander V Lukyanov's
5779	  proposed changes to ncurses library.
5780	+ modify generated term.h to always specify its own definitions for
5781	  HAVE_TERMIOS_H, etc., to guard against inclusion by programs with
5782	  broken configure scripts.
5783
5784981031
5785	+ modify terminfo parsing to accept octal and hexadecimal constants,
5786	  like Solaris.
5787	+ remove an autoconf 2.10 artifact from the configure script's check
5788	  for "-g" compiler options.  (Though harmless, this confused someone
5789	  at Debian, who recently issued a patch that results in the opposite
5790	  effect).
5791	+ add configure option --with-ada-compiler to accommodate installations
5792	  that do not use gcc as the driver for GNAT (patch by Juergen
5793	  Pfeifer).
5794
5795981017
5796	+ ensure ./man exists in configure script, needed when configuring
5797	  with --srcdir option.
5798	+ modify infocmp "-r" option to remove limit on formatted termcap
5799	  output, which makes it more like Solaris' version.
5800	+ modify captoinfo to treat no-argument case more like Solaris'
5801	  version, which uses the contents of $TERMCAP as the entry to format.
5802	+ modify mk-2nd.awk to handle subdirectories, e.g., ncurses/tty
5803	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
5804
5805981010
5806	+ modify --with-terminfo-dirs option so that the default value is the
5807	  ${datadir} value, unless $TERMINFO_DIRS is already set.  This gets
5808	  rid of a hardcoded list of candidate directories in the configure
5809	  script.
5810	+ add some error-checking to _nc_read_file_entry() to ensure that
5811	  strings are properly terminated (Todd C Miller).
5812	+ rename manpage file curs_scr_dmp.3x to curs_scr_dump.3x, to
5813	  correspond with contents (reported by Neil Zanella
5814	  <nzanella@cs.mun.ca>).
5815	+ remove redundant configure check for C++ which did not work when $CXX
5816	  was specified with a full pathname (reported by Andreas Jaeger).
5817	+ corrected bcopy/memmove check; the macro was not standalone.
5818
5819981003
5820	+ remove unnecessary portion of OS/2 EMX mouse change from
5821	  check_pending() (reported by Alexander V Lukyanov).
5822
5823980926
5824	+ implement mouse support for OS/2 EMX (adapted from patch against
5825	  4.2(?) by Ilya Zakharevich).
5826	+ add configure-check for bcopy/memmove, for 980919 changes to hashmap.
5827	+ merge Data General terminfo from Hasufin <hasufin@vidnet.net> - TD
5828	+ merge AIX 3.2.5 terminfo descriptions for IBM terminals, replaces
5829	  some older entries - TD
5830	+ modify tic to compile into %'char' form in preference to %{number},
5831	  since that is a little more efficient.
5832	+ minor correction to infocmp to avoid displaying "difference" between
5833	  two capabilities that are rendered in equivalent forms.
5834	+ add -g option to tic/infocmp to force character constants to be
5835	  displayed in quoted form.  Otherwise their decimal values are shown.
5836	+ modify setupterm so that cancelled strings are treated the same as
5837	  absent strings, cancelled and absent booleans false (does not affect
5838	  tic, infocmp).
5839	+ modify tic, infocmp to discard redundant i3, r3 strings when output
5840	  to termcap format.
5841	> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
5842	+ improve performance of tparm, now it takes 19% instead of 25% when
5843	  profiling worm.
5844	+ rename maxlen/minlen to prec/width for better readability.
5845	+ use format string for printing strings.
5846	+ use len argument correctly in save_text, and pass it to save_number.
5847
5848980919
5849	+ make test_progs compile (but hashmap does not function).
5850	+ correct NC_BUFFERED macro, used in lib_mvcur test-driver, modify
5851	  associated logic to avoid freeing the SP->_setbuf data.
5852	+ add modules home_terminfo and getenv_num to libtinfo.
5853	+ move write_entry to libtinfo, to work with termcap caching.
5854	+ minor fixes to blue.c to build with atac.
5855	+ remove softscroll.c module; no longer needed for testing.
5856	> patches by Todd C Miller:
5857	+ use strtol(3) instead of atoi(3) when parsing env variables so we can
5858	  detect a bogus (non-numeric) value.
5859	+ check for terminal names > MAX_NAME_SIZE in a few more places when
5860	  dealing with env variables again.
5861	+ fix a MAX_NAME_SIZE that should be MAX_NAME_SIZE+1
5862	+ use sizeof instead of strlen(3) on PRIVATE_INFO since it is a fixed
5863	  string #define (compile time vs runtime).
5864	+ when setting errno to ENOMEM, set it right before the return, not
5865	  before code that could, possibly, set errno to a different value.
5866	> patches by Alexander V Lukyanov:
5867	+ use default background in update_cost_from_blank()
5868	+ disable scroll-hints when hashmap is configured.
5869	+ improve integration of hashmap scrolling code, by adding oldhash and
5870	  newhash data to SP struct.
5871	+ invoke del_curterm from delscreen.
5872	+ modify del_curterm to set cur_term to null if it matches the
5873	  function's parameter which is deleted.
5874	+ modify lib_doupdate to prefer parm_ich to the enter_insert_mode and
5875	  exit_insert_mode combination, adjusting InsCharCost to check
5876	  enter_insert_mode, exit_insert_mode and insert_padding.  Add
5877	  insert_padding in insert mode after each char.  This adds new costs
5878	  to the SP struct.
5879
5880980912
5881	+ modify test-driver in lib_mvcur.s to use _nc_setbuffer, for
5882	  consistent treatment.
5883	+ modify ncurses to restore output to unbuffered on endwin, and resume
5884	  buffering in refresh (see lib_set_term.c and NC_BUFFERED macro).
5885	+ corrected HTML version numbers (according to the W3C validator, they
5886	  never were HTML 2.0-compliant, but are acceptable 3.0).
5887
5888980905
5889	+ modify MKterminfo.sh to generate terminfo.5 with tables sorted by
5890	  capability name, as in SVr4.
5891	+ modified term.h, termcap.h headers to avoid redundant declarations.
5892	+ change 'u_int' type in tset.c to unsigned, making this compile on
5893	  Sequent PRX 4.1 (reported by Michael Sterrett <msterret@coat.com>).
5894
5895980829
5896	+ corrections to mailing addresses, and moving the magic line that
5897	  causes the man program to invoke tbl to the first line of each
5898	  manpage (patch by Rick Ohnemus <rick@ecompcon.com>).
5899	+ add Makefile.os2 and supporting scripts to generate dll's on OS/2 EMX
5900	  (from J.J.G.Ripoll, with further integration by TD).
5901	+ correct a typo in icl6404 terminfo entry.
5902	+ add xtermm and xtermc terminfo entries.
5903	> from esr's terminfo version:
5904	+ Added Francesco Potorti's tuned Wyse 99 entries.
5905	+ dtterm enacs (from Alexander V Lukyanov).
5906	+ Add ncsa-ns, ncsa-m-ns and ncsa-m entries from esr version.
5907
5908980822
5909	+ document AT&T acs characters in terminfo.5 manpage.
5910	+ use EMX _scrsize() function if terminfo and environment do not
5911	  declare the screen size (reported by Ilya Zakharevich
5912	  <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>).
5913	+ remove spurious '\' characters from eterm and osborne terminfo
5914	  entries (prompted by an old Debian bug report).
5915	+ correct reversed malloc/realloc calls in _nc_doalloc (reported by
5916	  Hans-Joachim Widmaier <hjwidmai@foxboro.com>).
5917	+ correct misplaced parenthesis which caused file-descriptor from
5918	  opening termcap to be lost, from 980725 changes (reported by Andreas
5919	  Jaeger).
5920
5921980815
5922	+ modify lib_setup.c to eliminate unneeded include of <sys/ioctl.h>
5923	  when termios is not used (patch by Todd C Miller).
5924	+ add function _nc_doalloc, to ensure that failed realloc calls do not
5925	  leak memory (reported by Todd C Miller).
5926	+ improved ncsa-telnet terminfo entry.
5927
5928980809
5929	+ correct missing braces around a trace statement in read_entry.c,
5930	  from 980808 (reported by Kim DeVaughn <kimdv@best.com> and Liviu
5931	  Daia).
5932
5933980808
5934	+ fix missing include <errno.h> in ditto.c (reported by Bernhard
5935	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@k5.sucks.eu.org>)
5936	+ add NCSA telnet terminfo entries from Francesco Potorti
5937	  <F.Potorti@cnuce.cnr.it>, from Debian bug reports.
5938	+ make handling of $LINES and $COLUMNS variables more compatible with
5939	  Solaris by allowing them to individually override the window size
5940	  as obtained via ioctl.
5941
5942980801
5943	+ modify lib_vidattr.c to allow for terminal types (e.g., xterm-color)
5944	  which may reset all attributes in the 'op' capability, so that colors
5945	  are set before turning on bold and other attributes, but still after
5946	  turning attributes off.
5947	+ add 'ditto.c' to test directory to illustrate use of newterm for
5948	  initializing multiple screens.
5949	+ modify _nc_write_entry() to recover from failed attempt to link alias
5950	  for a terminfo on a filesystem which does not preserve character case
5951	  (reported by Peter L Jordan <PJordan@chla.usc.edu>).
5952
5953980725
5954	+ updated versions of config.guess and config.sub based on automake 1.3
5955	+ change name-comparisons in lib_termcap to compare no more than 2
5956	  characters (gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8, verified
5957	  with Solaris curses).
5958	+ fix typo in curs_insstr.3x (patch by Todd C Miller)
5959	+ use 'access()' to check if ncurses library should be permitted to
5960	  open or modify files with fopen/open/link/unlink/remove calls, in
5961	  case the calling application is running in setuid mode (request by
5962	  Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>, responding to Duncan Simpson
5963	  <dps@io.stargate.co.uk>).
5964	+ arm100 terminfo entries from Dave Millen <dmill@globalnet.co.uk>).
5965	+ qnxt2 and minitel terminfo entries from esr's version.
5966
5967980718
5968	+ use -R option with ldconfig on FreeBSD because otherwise it resets
5969	  the search path to /usr/lib (reported by Dan Nelson).
5970	+ add -soname option when building shared libraries on OpenBSD 2.x
5971	  (request by QingLong).
5972	+ add configure options --with-manpage-format and
5973	  --with-manpage-renames (request by QingLong).
5974	+ correct conversion of CANCELLED_NUMERIC in write_object(), which was
5975	  omitting the high-order byte, producing a 254 in the compiled
5976	  terminfo.
5977	+ modify return-values of tgetflag, tgetnum, tgetstr, tigetflag,
5978	  tigetnum and tigetstr to be compatible with Solaris (gleaned from
5979	  Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-8.8).
5980	+ modify _nc_syserr_abort to abort only when compiled for debugging,
5981	  otherwise simply exit with an error.
5982
5983980711
5984	+ modify Ada95 'gen' program to use appropriate library suffix (e.g.,
5985	  "_g" for a debug build).
5986	+ update Ada95 'make clean' rule to include generics .ali files
5987	+ add a configure test to ensure that if GNAT is found, that it can
5988	  compile/link working Ada95 program.
5989	+ flush output in beep and flash functions, fixing a problem with
5990	  getstr (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov)
5991	+ fix egcs 1.0.2 warning for etip.h (patch by Chris Johns).
5992	+ correct ifdef/brace nesting in lib_sprintf.c (patch by Bernhard
5993	  Rosenkraenzer <bero@Pool.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE>).
5994	+ correct typo in wattr_get macro from 980509 fixes (patch by Dan
5995	  Nelson).
5996
5997980704
5998	+ merge changes from current XFree86 xterm terminfo descriptions.
5999	+ add configure option '--without-ada'.
6000	+ add a smart-default for termcap 'ac' to terminfo 'acs_chars' which
6001	  corresponds to vt100.
6002	+ change translation for termcap 'rs' to terminfo 'rs2', which is
6003	  the documented equivalent, rather than 'rs1'.
6004
6005980627
6006	+ slow 'worm' down a little, for very fast machines.
6007	+ corrected firstchar/lastchar computation in lib_hline.c
6008	+ simplify some expressions with CHANGED_CELL, CHANGED_RANGE and
6009	  CHANGED_TO_EOL macros.
6010	+ modify init_pair so that if a color-pair is reinitialized, we will
6011	  repaint the areas of the screen whose color changes, like SVr4 curses
6012	  (reported by Christian Maurer <maurer@inf.fu-berlin.de>).
6013	+ modify getsyx/setsyx macros to comply with SVr4 man-page which
6014	  says that leaveok() affects their behavior (report by Darryl Miles,
6015	  patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
6016
6017980620
6018	+ review terminfo.5 against Solaris 2.6 curses version, corrected
6019	  several minor errors/omissions.
6020	+ implement tparm %l format.
6021	+ implement tparm printf-style width and precision for %s, %d, %x, %o
6022	  as per XSI.
6023	+ implement tparm dynamic variables (reported by Xiaodan Tang).
6024
6025980613
6026	+ update man-page for for wattr_set, wattr_get (cf:  980509)
6027	+ correct limits in hashtest, which would cause nonprinting characters
6028	  to be written to large screens.
6029	+ correct configure script, when --without-cxx was specified:  the
6030	  wrong variable was used for cf_cv_type_of_bool.  Compilers up to gcc
6031	  2.8 tolerated the missing 'int'.
6032	+ remove the hardcoded name "gcc" for the GNU Ada compiler.  The
6033	  compiler's name might be something like "egcs" (patch by Juergen
6034	  Pfeifer).
6035	+ correct curs_addch.3x, which implied that echochar could directly
6036	  display control characters (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
6037	+ fix typos in ncurses-intro.html (patch by Sidik Isani
6038	  <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
6039
6040980606
6041	+ add configure test for conflicting use of exception in math.h and
6042	  other headers.
6043	+ minor optimization to 'hash()' function in hashmap.c, reduces its
6044	  time by 10%.
6045	+ correct form of LD_SHARED_OPTS for HP-UX 10.x (patch by Tim Mooney).
6046	+ fix missing quotes for 'print' in MKunctrl.awk script (reported by
6047	  Mihai Budiu <mihaib@gs41.sp.cs.cmu.edu>).
6048	> patch by Alexander V Lukyanov:
6049	+ correct problem on Solaris (with poll() function) where getch could
6050	  hang indefinitely even if timeout(x) was called.  This turned out to
6051	  be because milliseconds was not updated before 'goto retry' in
6052	  _nc_timed_wait.
6053	+ simplified the function _nc_timed_wait and fixed another bug, which
6054	  was the assumption of !GOOD_SELECT && HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY in *timeleft
6055	  assignment.
6056	+ removed the cycle on EINTR, as it seems to be useless.
6057
6058980530
6059	+ add makefile-rule for test/keynames
6060	+ modify run_tic.sh and shlib to ensure that user's .profile does not
6061	  override the $PATH used to run tic (patch by Tim Mooney).
6062	+ restore LD_SHARED_OPTS to $(LD_SHARED_FLAGS) when linking programs,
6063	  needed for HP-UX shared-library path (recommended by Tim Mooney).
6064	+ remove special case of HP-UX -L options, use +b options to embed
6065	  $(libdir) in the shared libraries (recommended by Tim Mooney).
6066	+ add checks for some possible buffer overflows and unchecked
6067	  malloc/realloc/calloc/strdup return values (patch by Todd C Miller
6068	  <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com>)
6069
6070980523
6071	+ correct maxx/maxy expression for num_columns/num_lines in derwin
6072	  (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov).
6073	+ add /usr/share/lib/terminfo and /usr/lib/terminfo as compatibilty
6074	  fallbacks to _nc_read_entry(), along with --with-terminfo-dirs
6075	  configure option (suggested by Mike Hopkirk).
6076	+ modify config.guess to recognize Unixware 2.1 and 7 (patch by Mike
6077	  Hopkirk <hops@sco.com>).
6078	+ suppress definition of CC_SHARED_OPTS in LDFLAGS_SHARED in c++
6079	  Makefile.in, since this conflicts when g++ is used with HP-UX
6080	  compiler (reported by Tim Mooney).
6081	+ parenthesize 'strcpy' calls in c++ binding to workaround redefinition
6082	  in some C++ implementations (reported by several people running
6083	  egcs with glibc 2.0.93, analysis by Andreas Jaeger.
6084
6085980516
6086	+ modify write_entry.c so that it will not attempt to link aliases
6087	  with embedded '/', but give only a warning.
6088	+ put -L$(libdir) first when linking programs, except for HP-UX.
6089	+ modify comp_scan.c to handle SVr4 terminfo description for att477,
6090	  which contains a colon in the description field.
6091	+ modify configure script to support SCO osr5.0.5 shared libraries,
6092	  from comp.unix.sco.programmer newsgroup item (Mike Hopkirk).
6093	+ eliminate extra GoTo call in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
6094	  Lukyanov).
6095	+ minor adjustments of const/NCURSES_CONST from IRIX compile.
6096	+ add updates based on esr's 980509 version of terminfo.src.
6097
6098980509
6099	+ correct macros for wattr_set, wattr_get, separate wattrset macro from
6100	  these to preserve behavior that allows attributes to be combined with
6101	  color pair numbers.
6102	+ add configure option --enable-no-padding, to allow environment
6103	  variable $NCURSES_NO_PADDING to eliminate non-mandatory padding,
6104	  thereby making terminal emulators (e.g., for vt100) a little more
6105	  efficient (request by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
6106	+ modify configure script to embed ABI in shared libraries for HP-UX
6107	  10.x (detailed request by Tim Mooney).
6108	+ add test/example of the 'filter()' function.
6109	+ add nxterm and xterm-color terminfo description (request by Cristian
6110	  Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>).
6111	+ modify rxvt terminfo description to clear alternate screen before
6112	  switching back to normal screen, for compatibility with applications
6113	  which use xterm (reported by Manoj Kasichainula <manojk@io.com>).
6114	+ modify linux terminfo description to reset color palette (reported
6115	  by Telford Tendys <telford@eng.uts.edu.au>).
6116	+ correction to doupdate, for case where terminal does not support
6117	  insert/delete character.  The logic did not check that there was a
6118	  difference in alignment of changes to old/new screens before
6119	  repainting the whole non-blank portion of the line.  Modified to fall
6120	  through into logic that reduces by the portion which does not differ
6121	  (reported by Daniel Eisenbud <eisenbud@cs.swarthmore.edu>).
6122	+ minor performance improvement to wnoutrefresh by moving some
6123	  comparisons out of inner loop.
6124
6125980425
6126	+ modify configure script to substitute NCURSES_CONST in curses.h
6127	+ updated terminfo entries for xterm-xf86-v40, xterm-16color,
6128	  xterm-8bit to correspond to XFree86 3.9Ag.
6129	+ remove restriction that forces ncurses to use setaf/setab if the
6130	  number of colors is greater than 8.  (see 970524 for xterm-16color).
6131	+ change order of -L options (so that $(libdir) is searched first) when
6132	  linking tic and other programs, to workaround HP's linker.
6133	  Otherwise, the -L../lib is embedded when linking against shared
6134	  libraries and the installed program does not run (reported by Ralf
6135	  Hildebrandt).
6136	+ modify configuration of shared libraries on Digital Unix so that
6137	  versioning is embedded in the library, rather than implied by
6138	  links (patch by Tim Mooney).
6139
6140980418
6141	+ modify etip.h to avoid conflict with math.h on HP-UX 9.03 with gcc
6142	  2.8.1 which redefines 'exception' (reported by Ralf Hildebrandt
6143	  <R.Hildebrandt@tu-bs.de>).
6144	+ correct configure tests in CF_SHARED_OPTS which used $CC value to
6145	  check for gcc, rather than autoconf's $GCC value.  This did not
6146	  work properly if the full pathname of the compiler were given
6147	  (reported by Michael Yount <yount@csf.Colorado.edu>).
6148	+ revise check for compiler options to force ANSI mode since repeating
6149	  an option such as -Aa causes HP's compiler to fail on its own headers
6150	  (reported by Clint Olsen <olsenc@ichips.intel.com>).
6151
6152980411
6153	+ ifdef'd has_key() and mcprint() as extended functions.
6154	+ modified several prototypes to correspond with 1997 version of
6155	  X/Open Curses (affects ABI since developers have used attr_get).
6156	+ remove spurious trailing blanks in glibc addon-scripts (patch by
6157	  H.J.Lu).
6158	+ insert a few braces at locations where gcc-2.8.x asks to use them to
6159	  avoid ambigous else's, use -fpic rather than -fPIC for Linux (patch
6160	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
6161
6162980404
6163	+ split SHLIB_LIST into SHLIB_DIRS/SHLIB_LIST to keep -L options
6164	  before -l to accommodate Solaris' linker (reported by Larry Virden).
6165
6166980328
6167	+ modify lib_color.c to eliminate dependency on orig_colors and
6168	  orig_pair, since SVr4 curses does not require these either, but
6169	  uses them when they are available.
6170	+ add detailed usage-message to infocmp.
6171	+ correct a typo in att6386 entry (a "%?" which was "?").
6172	+ add -f option to infocmp and tic, which formats the terminfo
6173	  if/then/else/endif so that they are readable (with newlines and
6174	  tabs).
6175	+ fixes for glibc addon scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
6176
6177980321
6178	+ revise configure macro CF_SPEED_TYPE so that termcap.h has speed_t
6179	  declared (from Adam J Richter <adam@yggdrasil.com>)
6180	+ remove spurious curs_set() call from leaveok() (J T Conklin).
6181	+ corrected handling leaveok() in doupdate() (patch by Alexander V.
6182	  Lukyanov).
6183	+ improved version of wredrawln (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6184	+ correct c++/Makefile.in so install target do not have embedded ../lib
6185	  to confuse it (patch by Thomas Graf <graf@essi.fr>).
6186	+ add warning to preinstall rule which checks if the installer would
6187	  overwrite a curses.h or termcap.h that is not derived from ncurses.
6188	  (The recommended configuration for developers who need both is to
6189	  use --disable-overwrite).
6190	+ modify preinstall rule in top-level Makefile to avoid implicit
6191	  use of 'sh', to accommodate Ultrix 4.4 (reported by Joao Palhoto
6192	  Matos <jmatos@math.ist.utl.pt>, patch by Thomas Esser
6193	  <te@informatik.uni-hannover.de>)
6194	+ refine ifdef's for TRACE so that libncurses has fewer dependencies
6195	  on libtinfo when TRACE is disabled.
6196	+ modify configure script so that if the --with-termlib option is used
6197	  to generate a separate terminfo library, we chain it to the ncurses
6198	  library with a "-l" option (reported by Darryl Miles and Ian T.
6199	  Zimmerman).
6200
6201980314
6202	+ correct limits and window in wredrawln function (reported/analysis by
6203	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6204	+ correct sed expression in configure script for --with-fallback
6205	  option (patch by Jesse Thilo).
6206	+ correct some places in configure script where $enableval was used
6207	  rather than $withval (patch by Darryl Miles <dlm@g7led.demon.co.uk>).
6208	+ modify some man-pages so no '.' or '..' falls between TH and SH
6209	  macros, to accommodate man_db program (reported by Ian T. Zimmerman
6210	  <itz@rahul.net>).
6211	+ terminfo.src 10.2.1 downloaded from ESR's webpage (ESR).
6212	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
6213	+ add copyright notices (and rcs id's) on remaining man-pages.
6214	+ corrected prototypes for slk_* functions, using chtype rather than
6215	  attr_t.
6216	+ implemented the wcolor_set() and slk_color() functions
6217	+ the slk_attr_{set,off,on} functions need an additional void*
6218	  parameter according to XSI.
6219	+ fix the C++ and Ada95 binding as well as the man pages to
6220	  reflect above enhancements.
6221
6222980307
6223	+ use 'stat()' rather than 'access()' in toe.c to check for the
6224	  existence of $HOME/.terminfo, since it may be a file.
6225	+ suppress configure CF_CXX_LIBRARY check if we are not using g++
6226	  2.7.x, since this is not needed with g++ 2.8 or egcs (patch by
6227	  Juergen Pfeifer).
6228	+ turn on hashmap scrolling code by default, intend to remedy defects
6229	  by 4.3 release.
6230	+ minor corrections to terminfo.src changelog.
6231
6232980302	4.2 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
6233	+ correct Florian's email address in ncurses-intro.html
6234	+ terminfo.src 10.2.0 (ESR).
6235
6236980228	pre-release
6237	+ add linux-koi8r replace linux-koi8, which is not KOI8 (patch by
6238	  QingLong <qinglong@Bolizm.ihep.su>).
6239	+ minor documentation fixes (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6240	+ add setlocale() call to ncurses.c (reported by Claes G. Lindblad
6241	  <claesg@algonet.se>).
6242	+ correct sign-extension in lib_insstr.c (reported by Sotiris
6243	  Vassilopoulos <svas@leon.nrcps.ariadne-t.gr>)
6244
6245980221	pre-release
6246	+ regenerated some documentation overlooked in 980214 patch
6247	  (ncurses-intro.doc, curs_outopts.3x.html)
6248	+ minor ifdef change to C++ binding to work with gcc 2.8.0 (patch by
6249	  Juergen Pfeifer).
6250	+ change maintainer's mailing address to florian@gnu.org, change
6251	  tentative mailing list address to bug-ncurses-request@gnu.org (patch
6252	  by Florian La Roche).
6253	+ add definition of $(REL_VERSION) to c++/Makefile.in (reported by Gran
6254	  Hasse <gh@raditex.se>).
6255	+ restore version numbers to Ada95 binding, accidentally deleted by
6256	  copyright patch (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
6257
6258980214	pre-release
6259	+ remove ncurses.lsm from MANIFEST so that it won't be used in FSF
6260	  distributions, though it is retained in development.
6261	+ correct scaling of milliseconds to nanoseconds in lib_napms.c (patch
6262	  by Jeremy Buhler).
6263	+ update mailing-list information (bug-ncurses@gnu.org).
6264	+ update announcement for upcoming 4.2 release.
6265	+ modify -lm test to check for 'sin()' rather than 'floor()'
6266	+ remove spurious commas from terminfo.src descriptions.
6267	+ change copyright notices to Free Software Foundation
6268
6269980207
6270	+ minor fixes for autoconf macros CF_ERRNO, CF_HELP_MESSAGE and
6271	  CF_SIZECHANGE
6272	+ modify Makefile.glibc so that $(objpfx) is defined (H.J.Lu).
6273	+ ifdef-out true-return from _nc_mouse_inline() which depends on
6274	  merge of QNX patch (pending 4.2 release).
6275	> patch to split off seldom-used modules in ncurses (J T Conklin):
6276	  This reduces size by up to 2.6kb.
6277	+ move functionality of _nc_usleep into napms, add configuration case
6278	  for nanosleep().
6279	+ moved wchgat() from lib_addch.c to lib_chgat.c
6280	+ moved clearok(), immedok(), leaveok(), and scrollok() from
6281	  lib_options.c to lib_clearok.c, lib_immedok.c, lib_leaveok.c and
6282	  lib_scrollok.c.
6283	+ moved napms() from lib_kernel.c to lib_napms.c
6284	+ moved echo() and noecho() from lib_raw.c to lib_echo.c
6285	+ moved nl() and nonl() from lib_raw.c to lib_nl.c
6286
6287980131
6288	+ corrected conversion in tclock.c (cf: 971018).
6289	+ updates to Makefile.glibc and associated Linux configure script
6290	  (patch by H.J.Lu).
6291	+ workaround a quoting problem on SunOS with tar-copy.sh
6292	+ correct init_pair() calls in worm.c to work when use_default_colors()

6300	+ fixes for Ada95/ada_include/Makefile.in to work with --srcdir option.
6301	+ remove unused/obsolete test-program rules from progs/Makefile.in
6302	  (the rules in ncurses/Makefile.in work).
6303	+ remove shared-library loader flags from test/Makefile.in, etc.
6304	+ simplify test/configure.in using new version of autoconf to create
6305	  test/ncurses_cfg.h
6306	+ suppress suffix rules in test/Makefile.in, provide explicit
6307	  dependency to work with --srcdir option and less capable 'make'
6308	  programs.
6309	> adapted from patch for QNX by Xiaodan Tang:
6310	+ initialize %P and %g variables set/used in tparm, and also ensure
6311	  that empty strings don't return a null result from tparam_internal
6312	+ add QNX-specific prototype for vsscanf()
6313	+ move initialization of SP->_keytry from init_keytry() to newterm() to
6314	  avoid resetting it via a keyok() call by mouse_activate().
6315	+ reorganized some functions in lib_mouse() to use case-statements.
6316	+ remove sgr string from qnx terminfo entry since it is reported to
6317	  turn off attributes inconsistently.
6318
6319980124
6320	+ add f/F/b/B commands to ncurses 'b' test to toggle colors, providing
6321	  test for no_color_video.
6322	+ adjusted emx.src to use no_color_video, now works with ncurses 'b'
6323	  and 'k' tests.
6324	+ implement no_color_video attribute, and as a special case, reverse
6325	  colors when the reverse attribute cannot be combined with color.
6326	+ check for empty string in $TERM variable (reported by Brett Michaels
6327	  <brett@xylan.com>).
6328	> from reports by Fred Fish:
6329	+ add configure-test for isascii
6330	+ add configure-test for -lm library.
6331	+ modify CF_BOOL_SIZE to check if C++ bool types are unsigned.
6332	> patches by J.J.G.Ripoll
6333	+ add configure/makefile variables to support .exe extension on
6334	  OS/2 EMX (requires additional autoconf patches).
6335	+ explicitly initialize variables in lib_data.c to appease OS/2 linker
6336	> patches by Fred Fish <fnf@ninemoons.com>
6337	+ misc/Makefile.in (install.data):  Avoid trying to install the CVS
6338	  directory.
6339	+ aclocal.m4 (install.includes):  Remove files in the include directory
6340	  where we are going to install new ones, not the original source
6341	  files.
6342	+ misc/terminfo.src:  Add entry for "beterm", derived from termcap
6343	  distributed with BeOS PR2 using captoinfo.
6344	+ aclocal.m4: Wrap $cf_cv_type_of_bool with quotes (contains space)
6345	+ aclocal.m4: Assume bool types are unsigned.
6346	+ progs/infocmp.c: workaround mwcc 32k function data limit
6347
6348980117
6349	+ correct initialization of color-pair (cf: 970524) in xmas.c, which
6350	  was using only one color-pair for all colors (reported by
6351	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
6352	+ add multithread options for objects build on EMX, for compatibility
6353	  with XFree86.
6354	+ split up an expression in MKlib_gen.sh to work around a problem on
6355	  OS/2 EMX, with 'ash' (patch by J.J.G.Ripoll).
6356	+ change terminfo entries xterm (xterm-xf86-v40), xterm-8bit rs1 to use
6357	  hard reset.
6358	+ rename terminfo entry xterm-xf86-v39t to xterm-xf86-v40
6359	+ remove bold/underline from sun console entries since they're not
6360	  implemented.
6361	+ correct _tracef calls in _tracedump(), which did not separate format
6362	  from parameters.
6363	+ correct getopt string for tic "-o" option, and add it to man-page
6364	  synopsis (reported by Darren Hiebert <darren@hmi.com>).
6365	+ correct typo in panel/Makefile.in, reversed if-statement in scrolling
6366	  optimization (Alexander V.  Lukyanov).
6367	+ test for 'remove()', use 'unlink() if not found (patch by Philippe De
6368	  Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>).
6369	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
6370	+ Improve a feature of the forms driver.  For invisible fields
6371	  (O_VISIBLE off) only the contents but not the attributes are cleared.
6372	  We now clear both.  (Reported by Javier Kohan
6373	  <jkohan@adan.fceia.unr.edu.ar>)
6374	+ The man page form_field_opts.3x makes now clear, that invisible
6375	  fields are also always inactive.
6376	+ adjust ifdef's to compile the C++ binding with the just released
6377	  gcc-2.8.0 c++ and the corresponding new C++ libraries.
6378
6379980110
6380	+ correct "?" command in ncurses.c; it was performing non-screen writes
6381	  while the program was in screen mode.  (It "worked" in 1.9.9e because
6382	  that version sets OPOST and OCRNL incorrectly).
6383	+ return error from functions in lib_kernel, lib_raw and lib_ti if
6384	  cur_term is null, or if underlying I/O fails.
6385	+ amend change to tputs() so that it does not return an error if
6386	  cur_term is null, since some applications depend on being able to use
6387	  tputs without initializing the terminal (reported by Christian J.
6388	  Robinson <infynity@cyberhighway.net>).
6389
6390980103
6391	+ add a copy of emx.src from J.J.G.Ripoll's OS/2 EMX version of ncurses
6392	  1.9.9e, together with fixes/additions for the "ansi" terminal type.
6393	+ add tic check for save/restore cursor if change_scroll_region is
6394	  defined (reference: O'Reilly book).
6395	+ modify read_termcap.c to handle EMX-style pathnames (reported by
6396	  J.J.G.Ripoll).
6397	+ modify lib_raw.c to use EMX's setmode (patch from J.J.G.Ripoll).
6398	  Ripoll says EMX's curses does this.
6399	+ modify _nc_tic_expand() to generate \0 rather than \200.
6400	+ move/revise 'expand()' from dump_entry.c to ncurses library as
6401	  _nc_tic_expand(), for use by tack.
6402	+ decode \a as \007 for terminfo, as per XSI.
6403	+ correct translation of terminfo "^@", to \200, like \0.
6404	+ modify next_char() to treat <cr><lf> the same as <newline>, for
6405	  cross-platform compatibility.
6406	+ use new version of autoconf (971230) to work around limited
6407	  environment on CLIX, due to the way autoconf builds --help message.
6408	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6409	+ check that the Ada95 binding runs against the correct version of
6410	  ncurses.
6411	+ insert constants about the library version into the main spec-file of
6412	  the Ada95 binding.
6413
6414971227
6415	+ modify open/fopen calls to use binary mode, needed for EMX.
6416	+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.10 mods for OS/2
6417	  EMX (from J.J.G.Ripoll).
6418	+ generated ncurses_cfg.h with patch (971222) to autoconf 2.12 which
6419	  bypasses limited sed buffer length.
6420	> several changes from Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll <worm@arrakis.es>
6421	  (J.J.G.Ripoll) to support OS/2 EMX:
6422	+ add a _scrolling flag to SP, to set when we encounter a terminal
6423	  that simply cannot scroll.
6424	+ corrected logic in _nc_add_to_try(), by ensuring that strings with
6425	  embedded \200 characters are matched.
6426	+ don't assume the host has 'link()' function, for linking terminfo
6427	  entries.
6428
6429971220
6430	+ if there's no ioctl's to support sigwinch handler, disable it.
6431	+ add configure option --disable-ext-funcs to remove the extended
6432	  functions from the build.
6433	+ add configure option --with-termlib to generate the terminfo
6434	  functions as a separate library.
6435	+ add 'sources' rule to facilitate cross-compiling.
6436	+ review/fix order of mostlyclean/clean/distclean rules.
6437	+ modify install-rule for headers to first remove old header, in
6438	  case there was a symbolic link that confuses the install script.
6439	+ corrected substitution for NCURSES_CONST in term.h (cf: 971108)
6440	+ add null pointer checks in wnoutrefresh(), overlap() (patch by
6441	  Xiaodan Tang <xtang@qnx.com>)
6442	+ correct tputs(), which could dereference a null cur_term if invoked
6443	  before terminal is initialized (patch by Christopher Seawood
6444	  <cls@seawood.org>)
6445	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6446	+ makes better use of "pragma Inline" in the Ada95 binding
6447	+ resynchronizes the generated html manpages
6448
6449971213
6450	+ additional fixes for man-pages section-references
6451	+ add (for debugging) a check for ich/ich1 conflict with smir/rmir
6452	  to tic, etc.
6453	+ remove hpa/vpa from rxvt terminal description because they are not
6454	  implemented correctly, added sgr0.
6455	+ change ncurses 's' to use raw mode, so ^Q works (reported by Rudolf
6456	  Leitgeb <leitgeb@leland.stanford.edu>)
6457
6458971206
6459	+ modify protection when installing libraries to (normally) not
6460	  executable.  HP-UX shared libraries are an exception.
6461	+ add configure check for 'tack'.
6462	+ implement script for renaming section-references in man-page install,
6463	  for Debian configuration.
6464	+ add validity-check for SP in trace code in baudrate() (reported by
6465	  Daniel Weaver).
6466	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov (fixes to match sol25 curses)
6467	+ modify 'overlay()' so that copy applies target window background to
6468	  characters.
6469	+ correct 'mvwin()' so that it does not clear the previous locations.
6470	+ correct lib_acs.c so that 8-bit character is not sign expanded in
6471	  case of wide characters in chtype.
6472	+ correct control-char test in lib_addch.c for use with wide chars
6473	+ use attribute in the chtype when adding a control character in
6474	  lib_addch.c control char was added with current attribute
6475
6476971129
6477	+ save/restore errno in _tracef() function
6478	+ change treatment of initialize_color to use a range of 0..1000
6479	  (recommended by Daniel Weaver).
6480	+ set umask in mkinstalldirs, fixing problems reported by users who
6481	  have set root's umask to 077.
6482	+ correct bug in tic that caused capabilities to be reprinted at the
6483	  end of output when they had embedded comments.
6484	+ rewrote wredrawln to correspond to XSI, and split-out since it is
6485	  not often used (from report by Alexander V. Lukyanov, 970825)
6486	+ rewrote Dan Nelson's change to make it portable, as well as to
6487	  correct logic for handling backslashes.
6488	+ add code to _nc_tgetent() to make it work more like a real tgetent().
6489	  It removes all empty fields, and removes all but the first in a group
6490	  of duplicate caps.  The code was pulled from the BSD libtermcap code
6491	  in termcap.c (patch by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>
6492	+ don't include --enable-widec in the --with-develop configure option,
6493	  since it is not binary-compatible with 4.1 (noted by Alexander V.
6494	  Lukyanov)
6495	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6496	+ further improvements of the usage of elaboration pragmas in the Ada95
6497	  binding
6498	+ enhanced Ada95 sample to use the user_data mechanism for panels.
6499	+ a fix for the configuration script to make gnat-3.10 the required
6500	  version.
6501	+ resync of the html version of the manpages
6502
6503971122
6504	> fixes/updates for terminfo.src:
6505	+ add vt220-js, pilot, rbcomm, datapoint entries from esr's 27-jun-97
6506	  version.
6507	+ add hds200 description (Walter Skorski)
6508	+ add EMX 0.9b descriptions
6509	+ correct rmso/smso capabilities in wy30-mc and wy50-mc (Daniel Weaver)
6510	+ rename xhpterm back to hpterm.
6511	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6512	+ Improves the usage of elaboration pragmas for the Ada95 binding.
6513	+ Adds a translation of the test/rain.c into Ada95 to the samples.
6514	  This has been contributed to the project by Laurent Pautet
6515	  (pautet@gnat.com)
6516
6517971115
6518	+ increase MAX_NAME_SIZE to 512 to handle extremely long alias list
6519	  in HP-UX terminfo.
6520	+ correction & simplification of delay computation in tputs, based on
6521	  comments from Daniel Weaver.
6522	+ replace test for SCO with more precise header tests.
6523	+ add configure test for unsigned literals, use in NCURSES_BITS macro.
6524	+ comment-out the -PIC, etc., flags from c++, progs and test makefiles
6525	  since they probably are not needed, and are less efficient (noted by
6526	  Juergen Fluk)
6527	+ add -L$(libdir) to loader options, after -L../lib so that loaders
6528	  that record this information will tend to do the right thing if
6529	  the programs are moved around after installing them (suggested by
6530	  Juergen Fluk).
6531	+ add -R option to loader options for programs for Solaris if the
6532	  --enable-rpath option is specified for the libraries.
6533
6534971112
6535	+ correct installed filename for shared libraries on *BSD (reported by
6536	  Juergen Fluk).
6537
6538971108
6539	+ cleanup logic for deciding when tputs() should call delay_output(),
6540	  based on comments from Daniel Weaver.
6541	+ modified tputs() to avoid use of float.
6542	+ correct use of trailpad in tputs(), which used the wrong variable
6543	  in call to delay_output().
6544	+ correct inverted expression for null-count in delay_output()
6545	  (analysis by Daniel Weaver).
6546	+ apply --enable-rpath option to Solaris (requested by Larry Virden).
6547	+ correct substitution of EXTRA_CFLAGS for gcc 2.6.3
6548	+ correct check for error-return by _nc_tgetent(), which returns 0
6549	  for success.
6550	+ add configure test for BSD 4.4 cgetent() function, modify
6551	  read_termcap.c to use the host's version of that if found, using the
6552	  terminal database on FreeBSD (reported by Peter Wemm).
6553	+ add u8, u9 strings to sun-il description for Daniel Weaver.
6554	+ use NCURSES_CONST in panel's user-pointer.
6555	+ modify edit_cfg.sh and MKterm.h.awk.in to substitute NCURSES_CONST
6556	  so that will work on NeXT.
6557	+ use _nc_set_screen() rather than assignments to SP to fix port to
6558	  NeXT (reported by Francisco A. Tomei Torres).
6559
6560971101
6561	+ force mandatory padding in bell and flash_screen, as specified in
6562	  XSI.
6563	+ don't allow padding_baud_rate to override mandatory delays (reported
6564	  by Daniel Weaver).
6565	+ modify delay_output() to use _nc_timed_wait() if no baudrate has been
6566	  defined, or if the cur_term pointer is not initialized.  XSI treats
6567	  this as unspecified.  (requested by Daniel Weaver).
6568	+ change getcap-cache ifdef's to eliminate unnecessary chdir/mkdir
6569	  when that feature is not configured.
6570	+ remove _nc_err_abort() calls when write_entry.c finds a directory but
6571	  cannot write to it, e.g., when translating part/all of /etc/termcap
6572	  (reported by Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de>).
6573	  (this dates back to 951102, in 1.9.7a).
6574	+ minor ifdef fixes to compile with atac and glibc 2.0.5c
6575	+ add check for -lgen when configuring regexpr.h
6576	+ modify Solaris shared-library option "-d y" to "-dy" to workaround
6577	  incompatibility of gcc 2.7.2 vs vendor's tools.
6578
6579971026
6580	+ correct ifdef's for struct winsize vs struct ttysize in lib_setup.c
6581	  to compile on SCO.
6582	+ remove dangling backslash in panel/Makefile.in
6583	+ modify MKkeyname.awk to work with SCO's nawk, which dumps core in the
6584	  length() function.
6585	+ correct length of allocation in _nc_add_to_try(), to allow for
6586	  trailing null.
6587	+ correct logic in _nc_remove_key(), which was discarding too many
6588	  nodes (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov)
6589
6590971025
6591	+ add definition for $(REL_VERSION) to test/Makefile.in, so *BSD
6592	  shared libraries link properly (see 970524).
6593	+ modify Linux shared-library generation to include library
6594	  dependencies (e.g., -lncurses and -lgpm) in the forms, menu and
6595	  panel libraries (suggested by Juergen Pfeifer).
6596	+ modify configure script to use config.guess and config.sub rather
6597	  than uname, which is unreliable on some systems.
6598	+ updated Makefile.glibc, test-built with glibc 2.0.5c
6599	+ modify keyname() to return values consistent with SVr4 curses (patch
6600	  by Juergen Fluk).
6601	> changes requested by Daniel Weaver:
6602	+ modify delay_output() so that it uses the same output function as
6603	  tputs() if called from that function.
6604	+ move _baudrate from SCREEN to TERMINAL so that low-level use of
6605	  tputs works when SP is not set.
6606	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6607	+ factor lib_menu and lib_form into smaller modules
6608	+ clean up the interface between panel and SCREEN
6609	+ minor changes to the Ada95 mouse support implemenation
6610	+ minor bugfix in C++ binding to ripoff windows
6611	+ fix a few Ada95 html documentation pages
6612
6613971018
6614	+ split-out lib_ungetch.c, make runtime link to resizeterm() to
6615	  decouple those modules from lib_restart.c
6616	+ add xterm-xf86-v39t description to terminfo.src
6617	+ reset SP->_endwin in lib_tstp.c cleanup() function after calling
6618	  endwin() to avoid unnecessary repainting if the application has
6619	  established an atexit function, etc.  Encountered this problem in
6620	  the c++ demo, whose destructors repaint the screen.
6621	+ combine _nc_get_screensize() and resizeterm() calls as new function
6622	  _nc_update_screensize().
6623	+ minor fixes to allow compile with g++ (suggested by Nelson H. F.
6624	  Beebe).
6625	+ implement install-rules for Ada95 makefiles.
6626	+ use screen_lines or MAXLINES as needed where LINES was coded,
6627	  as well as screen_columns for COLS, in the ncurses library.
6628	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
6629	+ modify logic for ripped-off lines to handle several SCREENs.
6630	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6631	+ factors lib_slk.c into some smaller modules
6632	+ factors panel.c into some smaller modules
6633	+ puts the static information about the current panel stack into the
6634	  SCREEN structure to allow different panel stacks on different
6635	  screens.
6636	+ preliminary fix for an error adjusting LINES to account for
6637	  ripped-off lines.
6638
6639971011
6640	+ move _nc_max_click_interval and other mouse interface items to SCREEN
6641	  struct so that they are associated with a single terminal, and also
6642	  save memory when the application does not need a mouse (roughly 3k vs
6643	  0.5k on Linux).
6644	+ modify mouseinterval() so that a negative parameter queries the
6645	  click-interval without modifying it.
6646	+ modify ncurses 'i' test to work with ncurses' apparent extension from
6647	  SVr4, i.e., allows nocbreak+noecho (analysis by Alexander V.
6648	  Lukyanov).
6649	+ add configure options --with-ada-includes and --with-ada-objects,
6650	  to drive Ada95 binding install (not yet implemented).
6651	+ install C++ binding as -lncurses++ and associated headers with the
6652	  other ncurses headers.
6653	+ fix header uninstall if configure --srcdir is used.
6654	> minor interface changes to support 'tack' program -TD
6655	  (request by Daniel Weaver <danw@znyx.com>).
6656	+ export functions _nc_trans_string() and _nc_msec_cost().
6657	+ add variable _nc_nulls_sent, to record the number of padding
6658	  characters output in delay_output().
6659	+ move tests for generic_type and hard_copy terminals in setupterm()
6660	  to the end of that function so that the library will still be
6661	  initialized, though not generally useful for curses programs.
6662	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
6663	+ modify ClrBottom() to avoid using clr_eos if there is only one line
6664	  to erase.
6665	+ typo in configure --help.
6666	> patch by J T Conklin (with minor resync against Juergen's changes)
6667	+ split-out lib_flash.c from lib_beep.c
6668	+ split-out lib_hline.c and lib_vline.c from lib_box.c
6669	+ split-out lib_wattron.c, lib_wattroff.c from lib_addch.c
6670
6671971005
6672	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
6673	+ correct source/target of c++/edit_cfg.sh
6674
6675971004
6676	+ add color, mouse support to kterm terminfo entry.
6677	+ modify lib_mouse.c to recognize rxvt, kterm, color_xterm also as
6678	  providing "xterm"-style mouse.
6679	+ updated rxvt's terminfo description to correspond to 2.21b, with
6680	  fixes for the acsc (the box1 capability is incorrect, ech1 does not
6681	  work).
6682	+ fix logic in parse_entry.c that discarded acsc when 'synthesizing'
6683	  an entry from equivalents in XENIX or AIX.  This lets ncurses handle
6684	  the distribution copy of rxvt's terminfo.
6685	+ modify acsc capability for linux and linux-koi8 terminfo descriptions
6686	  (from Pavel Roskin <pavel@absolute.spb.su>).
6687	+ corrected definition in curses.h for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I'
6688	  rather than 'i' (see 970802).
6689	+ updated terminfo.src with reformatted acsc entries, and repaired the
6690	  trashed entries with spurious '\' characters that this exposed.
6691	+ add logic to dump_entry.c to reformat acsc entries into canonical
6692	  form (sorted, unique mapping).
6693	+ add configure script to generate c++/etip.h
6694	+ add configure --with-develop option, to enable by default most of the
6695	  experimental options (requested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6696	+ rename 'deinstall' to 'uninstall', following GNU convention
6697	  (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
6698	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
6699	+ modify tactics 2 and 5 in onscreen_mvcur(), to allow them on the last
6700	  line of the screen, since carriage return will not cause a newline.
6701	+ remove clause from PutCharLR() that would try to use
6702	  eat_newline_glitch since that apparently does not work on some
6703	  terminals (e.g., M$ telnet).
6704	+ correct a limit check in scroll_csr_backward()
6705	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
6706	+ adds dummy implementations of methods above() and below() to the
6707	  NCursesPanel class.
6708	+ fixes missing returncode in NCursesWindow::ripoffline()
6709	+ fixes missing returncode in TestApplication::run() in demo.cc
6710	+ We should at least give a comment in etip.h why it is currently a
6711	  problem to install the C++ binding somewhere
6712	+ makes the WINDOW* argument of wenclose() a const.
6713	+ modifies several of the routines in lib_adabind.c to use a const
6714	  WINDOW* argument.
6715
6716970927
6717	+ add 'deinstall' rules.
6718	+ use explicit assignments in configure --without-progs option to
6719	  work around autoconf bug which doesn't always set $withval.
6720	+ check for ldconfig, don't try to run it if not found.
6721	+ implement simple/unoptimized case in lib_doupdate.c to handle
6722	  display with magic cookie glitch, tested with ncurses.c program.
6723	+ correct missing _tracef in getmouse(), to balance the returnCode
6724	  macro.
6725	+ simplify show_attr() in ncurses.c using termattrs().
6726	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
6727	+ provides missing inlines for mvw[hv]line in cursesw.h of the C++
6728	  binding
6729	+ fixes a typo in a comment of frm_driver.c
6730	+ Enhances Ada95 Makefiles to fulfill the requirement of GNAT-3.10 that
6731	  generics should be compiled.  Proper fixes to the configuration
6732	  scripts are also provided.
6733
6734970920
6735	+ several modifications to the configure script (requested by Ward
6736	  Horner):
6737	  + add configure options --without-progs, to suppress the build of the
6738	    utility programs, e.g., for cross-compiling.
6739	  + add $(HOSTCCFLAGS) and $(HOSTLDFLAGS) symbols to ncurses
6740	    Makefile.in, to simplify setup for cross compiling.
6741	  + add logic in configure script to recognize "--target=vxworks", and
6742	    generate load/install actions for VxWorks objects.
6743	+ move typedef for sigaction_t into SigAction.h to work around problem
6744	  generating lint library.
6745	+ modify fty_regex.c to reflect renaming of ifdef's for regular
6746	  expressions.
6747	+ simplify ifdef in lib_setup.c for TIOCGWINSZ since that symbol may
6748	  reside in <sys/ioctl.h>.
6749	+ merge testcurs.c with version from PDCurses 2.3, clarifying some of
6750	  the more obscure tests, which rely upon color.
6751	+ use macros getbegyx() and getmaxyx() in newdemo.c and testcurs.c
6752	+ modify ncurses.c to use getbegyx() and getmaxyx() macros to cover up
6753	  implementation difference wrt SVr4 curses, allow 's' test to work.
6754	+ add missing endwin() to testscanw.c program (reported by Fausto
6755	  Saporito <fausap@itb.it>).
6756	+ fixes/updates for Makefile.glibc and related files under sysdeps
6757	  (patch by H.J.Lu).
6758	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
6759	+ add checks for null pointers, especially WINDOW's throughout the
6760	  ncurses library.
6761	+ solve a problem with wrong calculation of panel overlapping (reported
6762	  by Ward Horner):
6763	  + make sure that a panel's window isn't a pad.
6764	  + do more error checking in module lib_touch.c
6765	+ missing files for Ada95 binding from the last patch
6766	+ synch. of generated html pages (RCS-Id's were wrong in html files)
6767	+ support for Key_Resize in Ada binding
6768	+ changed documentation style in ./c++/cursesm.h
6769	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
6770	+ undo attempt to do recursive inlining for PutChar(), noting that it
6771	  did not improve timing measurably, but inflated the size of
6772	  lib_doupdate.o
6773
6774970913
6775	+ modify rain.c to use color.
6776	+ correct scroll_csr_backward() to match scroll_csr_forward().
6777	+ minor adjustment to llib-lncurses, to work with Solaris 2.5.1
6778	+ minor fixes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure to reflect renaming
6779	  of configure cache variables in 970906.
6780	+ correct logic involving changes to O_VISIBLE option in
6781	  Synchronize_Options function in frm_driver.c (Tony Hoffmann
6782	  <Tony.Hoffmann@hia.nrc.ca>)
6783	+ add $(HOSTCC) symbol to ncurses Makefile.in, to simplify setup for
6784	  cross compiling (suggested by Chris Johns).
6785	+ modify ifdef in lib_setup.c to only include <sys/ioctl.h> if we can
6786	  use it to support screen-size calculation (reported by Chris Johns).
6787	+ #undef unctrl to avoid symbol conflict in port to RTEMS (reported by
6788	  Chris Johns <cjohns@plessey.com.au>)
6789	> patches by Juergen Pfeifer:
6790	+ simplified, made minor corrections to Ada95 binding to form
6791	  fieldtype.
6792	+ The C++ binding has been enhanced:
6793	  + Improve NCursesWindow class:  added additional methods to cover
6794	    more ncurses functionality.  Make refresh() and noutrefresh()
6795	    virtual members to allow different implementation in the
6796	    NCursesPanel class.
6797	  + CAUTION:  changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of
6798	    NCursesWindow class.
6799	  + Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a
6800	    reimplementation of refresh() in the base class.  Added
6801	    noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel.
6802	  + Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform
6803	    functionality.
6804	  + Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to etip.h
6805	  + Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration of
6806	    menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of title lines
6807	    and Soft-Label-Keys for an application.
6808	  + Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menu's fieldlist.
6809	  + Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for menus.
6810	  + Enhanced demo.
6811	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_def.c:  take into account that copyarg and
6812	  freearg for a fieldtype may be NULL, makearg must not be NULL
6813	+ Fixed a bug in form/fld_type.c:  in set_fieldtype_arg() makearg must
6814	  not be NULL, copyarg and freearg may be NULL.
6815	+ Fixed a bug in form/frm_def.c:  Allow Disconnect_Fields() if it is
6816	  already disconnected.
6817	+ Enhance form/frm_driver.c:  Allow growth of dynamic fields also on
6818	  navigation requests.
6819	+ Fixed a bug in form/fty_enum.c:  wrong position of postincrement in
6820	  case-insensitiva comparision routine.
6821	+ Enhanced form/lib_adabind.c with function _nc_get_field() to get a
6822	  forms field by index.
6823	+ Enhanced menu/m_adabind.c with function _nc_get_item() to get a menus
6824	  item by index.
6825	+ Fixed in curses.h.in:  make chtype argument for pechochar() constant.
6826	  Mark wbkgdset() as implemented, remove wbkgdset macro, because it was
6827	  broken (didn't handle colors correctly).
6828	+ Enhanced lib_mouse.c: added _nc_has_mouse() function
6829	+ Added _nc_has_mouse() prototype to curses.priv.h
6830	+ Modified lib_bkgd.c:  hopefully correct implementation of wbkgdset();
6831	  streamlined implementation of wbkgd()
6832	+ Modified lib_mvwin.c:  Disable move of a pad.  Implement (costly)
6833	  move of subwindows.  Fixed update behavior of movements of regular
6834	  windows.
6835	+ Fixed lib_pad.c:  make chtype argument of pechochar() const.
6836	+ Fixed lib_window.c:  dupwin() is not(!) in every bit a really clone
6837	  of the original.  Subwindows become regular windows by doing a
6838	  dupwin().
6839	+ Improved manpage form_fieldtype.3x
6840	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
6841	+ simplify the PutChar() handling of exit_am_mode, because we already
6842	  know that auto_right_margin is true.
6843	+ add a check in PutChar() for ability to insert to the case of
6844	  shifting character to LR corner.
6845	+ in terminal initialization by _nc_screen_resume(), make sure that
6846	  terminal right margin mode is known.
6847	+ move logic that invokes touchline(), or does the equivalent, into
6848	  _nc_scroll_window().
6849	+ modify scrolling logic use of insert/delete line capability, assuming
6850	  that they affect the screen contents only within the current
6851	  scrolling region.
6852	+ modify rain.c to demonstrate SIGWINCH handler.
6853	+ remove logic from getch() that would return an ERR if the application
6854	  called getch() when the cursor was at the lower-right corner of the
6855	  physical screen, and the terminal does not have insert-character
6856	  ability.
6857	+ change view.c so that it breaks out of getch() loop if a KEY_RESIZE
6858	  is read, and modify logic in getch() so this fix will yield the
6859	  desired behavior, i.e., the screen is repainted automatically when
6860	  the terminal window is resized.
6861
6862970906
6863	+ add configure option --enable-sigwinch
6864	+ modify view.c to test KEY_RESIZE logic, with "-r" option.
6865	+ modify testcurs.c to eliminate misleading display wrt cursor type
6866	  by testing if the terminal supports cnorm, civis, cvvis.
6867	+ several fixes for m68k/NeXT 4.0, to bring cur_term, _nc_curr_line and
6868	  _nc_curr_col variables into linked programs:  move these variables,
6869	  making new modules lib_cur_term and trace_buf (reported by Francisco
6870	  Alberto Tomei Torres <fatomei@sandburg.unm.edu>).
6871	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
6872	+ add pseudo-functionkey KEY_RESIZE which is returned by getch() when
6873	  the SIGWINCH handler has been called since the last call to
6874	  doupdate().
6875	+ modify lib_twait.c to hide EINTR only if HIDE_EINTR is defined.
6876	+ add SIGWINCH handler to ncurses library which is used if there is no
6877	  application SIGWINCH handler in effect when the screen is
6878	  initialized.
6879	+ make linked list of all SCREEN structures.
6880	+ move curses.h include before definition of SCREEN to use types in
6881	  that structure.
6882	+ correction to ensure that wgetstr uses only a newline to force a
6883	  scroll (970831).
6884
6885970831
6886	+ add experimental configure option --enable-safe-sprintf; the normal
6887	  mode now allocates a buffer as large as the screen for the
6888	  lib_printw.c functions.
6889	+ modify wgetch to refresh screen when reading ungetch'd characters,
6890	  since the application may require this - SVr4 does this.
6891	+ refine treatment of newline in wgetstr to echo only when this would
6892	  force the screen to scroll.
6893
6894970830
6895	+ remove override in wgetstr() that forces keypad(), since SVr4 does
6896	  not do this.
6897	+ correct y-reference for erasure in wgetstr() when a wrap forces a
6898	  scroll.
6899	+ correct x-position in waddch() after a wrap forces a scroll.
6900	+ echo newline in wgetstr(), making testscanw.c scroll properly when
6901	  scanw is done.
6902	+ modify vwscanw() to avoid potential buffer overflow.
6903	+ rewrote lib_printw.c to eliminate fixed-buffer limits.
6904	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
6905	+ correct an error in handling cooked mode in wgetch(); processing
6906	  was in the wrong order.
6907	+ simplified logic in wgetch() that handles backspace, etc., by using
6908	  wechochar().
6909	+ correct wechochar() so that it interprets the output character as
6910	  in waddch().
6911	+ modify pechochar() to use prefresh() rather than doupdate(), since
6912	  the latter does not guarantee immediate refresh of the pad.
6913	+ modify pechochar() so that if called with a non-pad WINDOW, will
6914	  invoke wechochar() instead.
6915	+ modify fifo indices to allow fifo to be longer than 127 bytes.
6916
6917970823
6918	+ add xterm-8bit to terminfo.src
6919	+ moved logic for SP->_fifohold inside check_pending() to make it
6920	  work properly when we add calls to that function.
6921	+ ensure that bool functions return only TRUE or FALSE, and TRUE/FALSE
6922	  are assigned to bool values (patch by H.J.Lu).
6923	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
6924	+ several fixes to getch:
6925	  1.  Separate cooked and raw keys in fifo
6926	  2.  Fix the case of ungetch'ed KEY_MOUSE
6927	  3.  wrap the code for hiding EINTR with ifdef HIDE_EINTR
6928	  4.  correctly handle input errors (i.e., EINTR) without loss of raw
6929	      keys
6930	  5.  recognize ESC KEY_LEFT and similar
6931	  6.  correctly handle the case of receiption of KEY_MOUSE from gpm
6932	+ correct off-by-one indexing error in _nc_mouse_parse(), that caused
6933	  single mouse events (press/release) to be ignored in favor of
6934	  composed events (click).  Improves on a fix from integrating gpm
6935	  support in 961229.
6936	+ add another call to check_pending, before scrolling, for
6937	  line-breakout optimization
6938	+ improve hashmap.c by
6939	  1.  fixed loop condition in grow_hunks()
6940	  2.  not marking lines with offset 0
6941	  3.  fixed condition of 'too far' criteria, thus one-line hunks are
6942	  ignored and two lines interchanged won't pass.
6943	+ rewrote/simplified _nc_scroll_optimize() by separating into two
6944	  passes, forward/backward, looking for chunks moving only in the given
6945	  direction.
6946	+ move logic that emits sgr0 when initializing the screen to
6947	  _nc_screen_init(), now invoked from newterm.
6948	+ move cursor-movement cleanup from endwin() into _nc_mvcur_wrap()
6949	  function and screen cleanup (i.e., color) into _nc_screen_wrap()
6950	  function.
6951	+ add new functions _nc_screen_init(), _nc_screen_resume() and
6952	  _nc_screen_wrap().
6953	+ rename _nc_mvcur_scrolln() to _nc_scrolln().
6954	+ add a copy of acs_map[] to the SCREEN structure, where it can be
6955	  stored/retrieved via set_term().
6956	+ move variables _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok, _nc_windows into the SCREEN
6957	  structure.
6958
6959970816
6960	+ implement experimental _nc_perform_scroll().
6961	+ modify newterm (actually _nc_setupscreen()) to emit an sgr0 when
6962	  initializing the screen, as does SVr4 (reported by Alexander V.
6963	  Lukyanov).
6964	+ added test_progs rule to ncurses/Makefile.
6965	+ modify test/configure.in to check if initscr is already in $LIBS
6966	  before looking for (n)curses library.
6967	+ correct version-number in configure script for OSF1 shared-library
6968	  options (patch by Tim Mooney).
6969	+ add -DNDEBUG to CPPFLAGS for --enable-assertions (as Juergen
6970	  originally patched) since the c++ demo files do not necessarily
6971	  include ncurses_cfg.h
6972	+ supply default value for --enable-assertions option in configure
6973	  script (reported by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu>).
6974	> patches by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
6975	+ correct/simplify logic of werase(), wclrtoeol() and wclrbot().  See
6976	  example firstlast.c
6977	+ optimize waddch_literal() and waddch_nosync() by factoring out
6978	  common subexpressions.
6979	+ correct sense of NDEBUG ifdef for CHECK_POSITION macro.
6980	+ corrections to render_char(), to make handling of colored blanks
6981	  match SVr4 curses, as well as to correct a bug that xor'd space
6982	  against the background character.
6983	+ replaced hash function with a faster one (timed it)
6984	+ rewrote the hashmap algorithm to be one-pass, this avoids multiple
6985	  cost_effective() calls on the same lines.
6986	+ modified cost_effective() so it is now slightly more precise.
6987	> patches for glibc integration (H.J.Lu):
6988	+ add modules define_key, keyok, name_match, tries
6989	+ add makefile rules for some of the unit tests in ncurses (mvcur,
6990	  captoinfo, hardscroll, hashmap).
6991	+ update Linux configure-script for wide-character definitions.
6992
6993970809
6994	+ modify _tracebits() to show the character size (e.g., CS8).
6995	+ modify tparm() to emit '\200' where the generated string would have a
6996	  null (reported by From:  Ian Dall <Ian.Dall@dsto.defence.gov.au> for
6997	  terminal type ncr7900).
6998	+ modify install process so that ldconfig is not invoked if the
6999	  package is built with an install-prefix.
7000	+ correct test program for chtype size (reported by Tim Mooney).
7001	+ add configure option --disable-scroll-hints, using this to ifdef the
7002	  logic that computes indices for _nc_scroll_optimize().
7003	+ add module ncurses/softscroll.c, to perform single-stage computation
7004	  of scroll indices used in _nc_scroll_optimize().  This is faster than
7005	  the existing scrolling algorithm, but tends to make too-small hunks.
7006	+ eliminate fixed buffer size in _nc_linedump().
7007	+ minor fixes to lib_doupdate.c to add tradeoff between clr_eol (el)
7008	  and clr_bol (el1), refine logic in ClrUpdate() and ClrBottom() (patch
7009	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7010	+ add test/testaddch.c, from a pending patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov.
7011	+ correct processing of "configure --enable-assertions" option (patch
7012	  by Juergen Pfeifer).
7013
7014970802
7015	+ add '-s' (single-step) option too test/hashtest.c, correct an error
7016	  in loop limit for '-f' (footer option), toggle scrollok() when
7017	  writing footer to avoid wrap at lower-right corner.
7018	+ correct behavior of clrtoeol() immediately after wrapping cursor,
7019	  which was not clearing the line at the cursor position (reported by
7020	  Liviu Daia <daia@stoilow.imar.ro>).
7021	+ corrected mapping for ACS_LANTERN, which was 'I' rather than 'i'
7022	  (reported by Klaus Weide <kweide@tezcat.com>).
7023	+ many corrections to make progs/capconvert work, as well as make it
7024	  reasonably portable and integrated with ncurses 4.1 (reported by Dave
7025	  Furstenau <df@ravine.binary.net>).
7026
7027970726
7028	+ add flag SP->_fifohold, corresponding logic to modify the behavior of
7029	  the line breakout logic so that if the application does not read
7030	  input, refreshes will not be stopped, but only slowed.
7031	+ generate slk_attr_off(), slk_attr_on(), slk_attr_set(), vid_attr(),
7032	  ifdef'd for wide-character support, since ncurses' WA_xxx attribute
7033	  masks are identical with the A_xxx masks.
7034	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to generate ifdef'd functions to support optional
7035	  configuration of wide-characters.
7036	+ modify tset to behave more like SVr4's tset, which does not modify
7037	  the settings of intr, quit or erase unless they are given as command
7038	  options (reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>).
7039	+ modify tset to look in /etc/ttys or /etc/ttytype if the configuration
7040	  does not have getttynam().
7041	+ extend baudrate table in tset.c to match baudrate() function.
7042	+ add table entries for 230400 and 460800 bd to baudrate() function.
7043	+ improve breakout logic by allowing it before the first line updated,
7044	  which is what SVr4 curses does (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7045	+ correct initialization of vcost in relative_move(), for cursor-down
7046	  case (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7047	> nits gleaned from Debian distribution of 1.9.9g-3:
7048	+ install symbolic link for intotocap.
7049	+ reference libc directly when making shared libraries.
7050	+ correct renaming of curs_scr_dmp.3x in man_db.renames.
7051	+ guard tgetflag() and other termcap functions against null cur_term
7052	  pointer.
7053
7054970719
7055	+ corrected initial state of software echo (error in 970405, reported
7056	  by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7057	+ reviewed/added messages to configure script, so that all non-test
7058	  options should be accompanied by a message.
7059	+ add configure check for long filenames, using this to determine if
7060	  it is safe to allow long aliases for terminal descriptions as does
7061	  SVr4.
7062	+ add configure options for widec (wide character), hashmap (both
7063	  experimental).
7064	> patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov:
7065	+ hashmap.c - improved by heuristic, so that scroll test works much
7066	  better when csr is not available.
7067	+ hardscroll.c - patched so that it continues to scroll other chunks
7068	  after failure to scroll one.
7069	+ lib_doupdate.c - _nc_mvcur_scrolln extended to handle more cases; csr
7070	  is avoided as it is relative costly.  Fixed wrong coordinates in one
7071	  case and wrong string in TRACE.
7072	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7073	+ modify C++ binding to compile on AIX 4.x with the IBM C-SET++
7074	  compiler.
7075
7076970712
7077	+ remove alternate character set from kterm terminfo entry; it uses the
7078	  shift-out control for a purpose incompatible with curses, i.e., font
7079	  switching.
7080	+ disentangle 'xterm' terminfo entry from some derived entries that
7081	  should be based on xterm-r6 instead.
7082	+ add cbt to xterm-xf86-xv32 terminfo entry; I added the emulation for
7083	  XFree86 3.1.2F, but overlooked its use in terminfo then - T.Dickey.
7084	+ correct logic in lib_mvcur.c that uses back_tab.
7085
7086970706
7087	+ correct change from 970628 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
7088	  contents of curscr are saved in newscr before clearing the screen.
7089	  This is needed to make repainting work with the present logic of
7090	  TransformLine().
7091	+ use napms() rather than sleep() in tset.c to avoid interrupting I/O.
7092
7093970705
7094	+ add limit checks to _nc_read_file_entry() to guard against overflow
7095	  of buffer when reading incompatible terminfo format, e.g, from OSF/1.
7096	+ correct some loop-variable errors in xmc support in lib_doupdate.c
7097	+ modify ncurses 'b' test to add gaps, specified by user, to allow
7098	  investigation of interaction with xmc (magic cookie) code.
7099	+ correct typo in 970524 mods to xmas.c, had omitted empty parameter
7100	  list from has_colors(), which gcc ignores, but SVr4 does not
7101	  (reported by Larry Virden).
7102	+ correct rmso capability in wy50-mc description.
7103	+ add configure option "--enable-hard-tabs", renamed TABS_OK ifdef to
7104	  USE_HARD_TABS.
7105	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7106	+ Add bindings for keyok() and define_key() to the Ada95 packages.
7107	+ Improve man pages menu_post.3x and menu_format.3x
7108	+ Fix the HTML pages in the Ada95/html directory to reflect the above
7109	  changes.
7110
7111970628
7112	+ modify change from 970101 to ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c so that
7113	  pending changes to both curscr and newscr are flushed properly.
7114	  This fixes a case where the first scrolling operation in nvi would
7115	  cause the screen to be cleared unnecessarily and repainted before
7116	  doing the indexing, i.e., by repeatedly pressing 'j' (reported by
7117	  Juergen Pfeifer).
7118	+ correct error in trans_string() which added embedded newlines in a
7119	  terminfo description to the stored strings.
7120	+ remove spurious newlines from sgr in wyse50 (and several other)
7121	  terminfo descriptions.
7122	+ add configure option for experimental xmc (magic cookie) code,
7123	  "--enable-xmc-glitch".  When disabled (the default), attributes that
7124	  would store a magic cookie are suppressed in vidputs().  The magic
7125	  cookie code is far from workable at this stage; the configuration
7126	  option is a stopgap.
7127	+ move _nc_initscr() from lib_initscr.c to lib_newterm.c
7128	+ correct path for invoking make_keys (a missing "./").
7129
7130970621
7131	+ correct sign-extension problem with "infocmp -e", which corrupted
7132	  acsc values computed for linux fallback data.
7133	+ correct dependency on ncurses/names.c (a missing "./").
7134	+ modify configure script to use '&&' even for cd'ing to existing
7135	  directories to work around broken shell interpreters.
7136	+ correct a loop-limit in _nc_hash_map() (patch by Alexander V.
7137	  Lukyanov).
7138
7139970615
7140	+ restore logic in _nc_scroll_optimize() which marks as touched the
7141	  lines in curscr that are shifted.
7142	+ add new utility 'make_keys' to compute keys.tries as a table rather
7143	  than a series of function calls.
7144	+ correct include-dependency for tic.h used by name_match
7145	+ removed buffer-allocation for name and description from m_item_new.c,
7146	  since this might result in incompatibilities with SVr4.  Also fixed
7147	  the corresponding Ada95 binding module (patch by Juergen Pfeifer,
7148	  report by Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@foxnet.net>)
7149	+ removed the mechanism to timestamp the generated Ada95 sources.  This
7150	  resulted always in generating patches for the HTML doc, even when
7151	  nothing really changed (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
7152	+ improve man page mitem_new.3x (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
7153
7154970614
7155	+ remove ech capability from rxvt description because it does not work.
7156	+ add missing case logic for infocmp -I option (reported by Lorenzo M.
7157	  Catucci <lorenzo@argon.roma2.infn.it>)
7158	+ correct old bug in pnoutrefresh() unmasked by fix in 970531; this
7159	  caused glitches in the ncurses 'p' test since the area outside the
7160	  pad was not compared when setting up indices for _nc_scroll_optimize.
7161	+ rewrote tracebits() to workaround misdefinition of TOSTOP on Ultrix
7162	  4.4, as well as to eliminate fixed-size buffer (reported by Chris
7163	  Tanner <tannerc@aecl.ca>)
7164	+ correct prototype for termattrs() as per XPG4 version 2.
7165	+ add placeholder prototypes for color_set(), erasewchar(),
7166	  term_attrs(), wcolor_set() as per XPG4 version 2.
7167	+ correct attribution for progs/progs.priv.h and lib_twait.c
7168	+ improve line-breakout logic by checking based on changed lines rather
7169	  than total lines (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7170	+ correct loop limits for table-lookup of enumerated value in form
7171	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
7172	+ improve threshhold computation for determining when to call ClrToEOL
7173	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7174
7175970531
7176	+ add configure option --disable-database to force the library to
7177	  use only the fallback data.
7178	+ add configure option --with-fallbacks, to specify list of fallback
7179	  terminal descriptions.
7180	+ add a symbolic link for ncurses.h during install; too many programs
7181	  still assume there's an ncurses.h
7182	+ add new terminfo.src entry for xterm-xf86-v33.
7183	+ restore terminfo.src entry for emu to using setf/setb, since it is
7184	  not, after all, generating ANSI sequences.  Corrected missing comma
7185	  that caused setf/setb entries to merge.
7186	+ modify mousemask() to use keyok() to enable/disable KEY_MOUSE, so
7187	  that applications can disable ncurses' mouse and supply their own
7188	  handler.
7189	+ add extensions keyok() and define_key().  These are designed to allow
7190	  the user's application better control over the use of function keys,
7191	  e.g., disabling the ncurses KEY_MOUSE.  (The define_key idea was from
7192	  a mailing-list thread started by Kenneth Albanowski
7193	  <kjahds@kjahds.com> Nov'1995).
7194	+ restore original behavior in ncurses 'g' test, i.e., explicitly
7195	  set the keypad mode rather than use the default, since it confuses
7196	  people.
7197	+ rewrote the newdemo banner so it's readable (reported by Hugh
7198	  Daniel).
7199	+ tidy up exit from hashtest (reported by Hugh Daniel).
7200	+ restore check for ^Q in ncurses 'g' test broken in 970510 (reported
7201	  by Hugh Daniel)
7202	+ correct tput program, checking return-value of setupterm (patch by
7203	  Florian La Roche).
7204	+ correct logic in pnoutrefresh() and pechochar() functions (reported
7205	  by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf.usc.edu>).  The computation
7206	  of 'wide' date to eric's #283 (1.9.9), and the pechochar bug to the
7207	  original implementation (1.9.6).
7208	+ correct typo in vt102-w terminfo.src entry (patch by Robert Wuest
7209	  <rwuest@sire.vt.com>)
7210	+ move calls of _nc_background() out of various loops, as its return
7211	  value will be the same for the whole window being operated on (patch
7212	  by J T Conklin).
7213	+ add macros getcur[xy] getbeg[xy] getpar[xy], which are defined in
7214	  SVr4 headers (patch by J T Conklin <jtc@NetBSD.ORG>)
7215	+ modify glibc addon-configure scripts (patch by H.J.Lu).
7216	+ correct a bug in hashmap.c: the size used for clearing the hashmap
7217	  table was incorrect, causing stack corruption for large values of
7218	  LINES, e.g., >MAXLINES/2 (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7219	+ eric's terminfo 9.13.23 & 9.13.24 changes: replaced minitel-2 entry,
7220	  added MGR, ansi-nt (note: the changes described for 9.13.24 have not
7221	  been applied).
7222	> several changes by Juergen Pfeifer:
7223	+ correct a missing error-return in form_driver.c when wrapping of a
7224	  field is not possible.
7225	+ correct logic in form_driver.c for configurations that do not have
7226	  memccpy() (reported by Sidik Isani <isani@cfht.hawaii.edu>)
7227	+ change several c++ binding functions to inline.
7228	+ modify c++ menu binding to inherit from panels, for proper
7229	  initialization.
7230	+ correct freeing of menu items in c++ binding.
7231	+ modify c++ binding to reflect removal of const from user data pointer
7232	  in forms/menus libraries.
7233
7234970524
7235	+ add description of xterm-16color.
7236	+ modify name of shared-library on *BSD to end with $(REL_VERSION)
7237	  rather than $(ABI_VERSION) to match actual convention on FreeBSD
7238	  (cf: 960713).
7239	+ add OpenBSD to shared-library case, same as NetBSD and FreeBSD
7240	  (reported by Hugh Daniel <hugh@rat.toad.com>).
7241	+ corrected include-dependency in menu/Makefile so that "make install"
7242	  works properly w/o first doing "make".
7243	+ add fallback definition for isascii, used in infocmp.
7244	+ modify xmas to use color, and to exit right away when a key is
7245	  pressed.
7246	+ modify gdc so that the scrolled digits function as described (there
7247	  was no time delay between the stages, and the digits overwrote the
7248	  bounding box without tidying up).
7249	+ modify lib_color.c to use setaf/setab only for the ANSI color codes
7250	  0 through 7.  Using 16 colors requires setf/setb.
7251	+ modify ncurses 'c' test to work with 16 colors, as well as the normal
7252	  8 colors.
7253	+ remove const qualifier from user data pointer in forms and menus
7254	  libraries (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
7255	+ rewrote 'waddchnstr()' to avoid using the _nc_waddch_nosync()
7256	  function, thereby not interpreting tabs, etc., as per spec (patch by
7257	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7258
7259970517
7260	+ suppress check for pre-existing ncurses header if the --prefix
7261	  option is specified.
7262	+ add configure options "--with-system-type" and
7263	  "--with-system-release" to assist in checking the generated
7264	  makefiles.
7265	+ add configure option "--enable-rpath" to allow installers to specify
7266	  that programs linked against shared libraries will have their library
7267	  path embedded, allowing installs into nonstandard locations.
7268	+ add flags to OSF1 shared-library options to specify version and
7269	  symbol file (patch by Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>)
7270	+ add missing definition for ABI_VERSION to c++/Makefile.in (reported
7271	  by Satoshi Adachi <adachi@wisdom.aa.ap.titech.ac.jp>).
7272	+ modify link flags to accommodate HP-UX linker which embeds absolute
7273	  pathnames in executables linked against shared libraries (reported by
7274	  Jason Evans <jasone@mrc.uidaho.edu>, solved by Alan Shutko
7275	  <ats@hubert.wustl.edu>).
7276	+ drop unnecessary check for attribute-change in onscreen_mvcur() since
7277	  mvcur() is the only caller within the library, and that check in turn
7278	  is exercised only from lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V.
7279	  Lukyanov).
7280	+ add 'blank' parameter to _nc_scroll_window() so _nc_mvcur_scrolln()
7281	  can use the background of stdscr as a parameter to that function
7282	  (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7283	+ moved _nc_mvcur_scrolln() from lib_mvcur.c to lib_doupdate.c, to use
7284	  the latter's internal functions, as well as to eliminate unnecessary
7285	  cursor save/restore operations (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7286	+ omit parameter of ClrUpdate(), since it is called only for newscr,
7287	  further optimized/reduced by using ClearScreen() and TransformLine()
7288	  to get rid of duplicate code (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7289	+ modify scrolling algorithm in _nc_scroll_optimize() to reject hunks
7290	  that are smaller than the distance to be moved (patch by Alexander V.
7291	  Lukyanov).
7292	+ correct a place where the panel library was not ifdef'd in ncurses.c
7293	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
7294	+ documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer)
7295
7296970515	4.1 release for upload to prep.ai.mit.edu
7297	+ re-tag changes since 970505 as 4.1 release.
7298
7299970510
7300	+ modify ncurses 'g' test to allow mouse input
7301	+ modify default xterm description to include mouse.
7302	+ modify configure script to add -Wwrite-strings if gcc warnings are
7303	  enabled while configuring --enable-const (and fixed related
7304	  warnings).
7305	+ add toggle, status display for keypad mode to ncurses 'g' test to
7306	  verify that keypad and scrollok are not inherited from parent window
7307	  during a call to newwin.
7308	+ correction to MKexpanded.sh to make it work when configure --srcdir
7309	  is used (reported by H.J.Lu).
7310	+ revise test for bool-type, ensuring that it checks if builtin.h is
7311	  available before including it, adding test for sizeof(bool) equal
7312	  to sizeof(short), and warning user if the size cannot be determined
7313	  (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7314	+ add files to support configuration of ncurses as an add-on library
7315	  for GNU libc (patch by H.J.Lu <hjl@lucon.org>)
7316
7317970506
7318	+ correct buffer overrun in lib_traceatr.c
7319	+ modify change to lib_vidattr.c to avoid redundant orig_pair.
7320	+ turn on 'echo()' in hanoi.c, since it is initially off.
7321	+ rename local 'errno' variable in etip.h to avoid conflict with global
7322	  (H.J.Lu).
7323	+ modify configure script to cache LD, AR, AR_OPTS (patch by H.J.Lu
7324	  <hjl@lucon.org>)
7325
7326970505	4.1 pre-release
7327	+ regenerate the misc directory html dumps without the link list, which
7328	  is not useful.
7329	+ correct dependency in form directory makefile which caused
7330	  unnecessary recompiles.
7331	+ correct substitution for ABI_VERSION in test-makefile
7332	+ modify install rules for shared-library targets to remove the target
7333	  before installing, since some install programs do not properly handle
7334	  overwrite of symbolic links.
7335	+ change order of top-level targets so that 'include' immediate
7336	  precedes the 'ncurses' directory, reducing the time between new
7337	  headers and new libraries (requested by Larry Virden).
7338	+ modify lib_vidattr.c so that colors are turned off only before
7339	  modifying other attributes, turned on after others.  This makes the
7340	  hanoi.c program display correctly on FreeBSD console.
7341	+ modify debug code in panel library to print user-data addresses
7342	  rather than the strings which they (may) point to.
7343	+ add check to ensure that C++ binding and demo are not built with g++
7344	  versions below 2.7, since the binding uses templates.
7345	+ modify c++ binding and demo to build and run with SGI's c++ compiler.
7346	  (It also compiles with the Sun SparcWorks compiler, but the demo does
7347	  not link, due to a vtbl problem).
7348	+ corrections to demo.cc, to fix out-of-scope variables (Juergen
7349	  Pfeifer).
7350
7351970503
7352	+ correct memory leak in _nc_trace_buf().
7353	+ add configure test for regexpr.h, for Unixware 1.x.
7354	+ correct missing "./" prefixing names of generated files in ncurses
7355	  directory.
7356	+ use single-quotes in configure scripts assignments for MK_SHARED_LIB
7357	  to workaround shell bug on FreeBSD 2.1.5
7358	+ remove tabs from intermediate #define's for GCC_PRINTF, GCC_SCANF
7359	  that caused incorrect result in ncurses_cfg.h
7360	+ correct initialization in lib_trace.c, which omitted version info.
7361	+ remove ech, el1 attributes from cons25w description; they appear to
7362	  malfunction in FreeBSD 2.1.5
7363	+ correct color attributes in terminfo.src and lib_color.c to match
7364	  SVr4 behavior by interchanging codes 1,4, 3,6 in the setf/setb
7365	  capabilities.
7366	+ use curs_set() rather than checks via tigetstr() for test programs
7367	  that hide the cursor: firework, rain, worm.
7368	+ ensure that if the terminal lacks change_scroll_region, parm_index
7369	  and parm_rindex are used only to scroll the whole screen (patch by
7370	  Peter Wemm).
7371	+ correct curs_set() logic, which did not return ERR if the requested
7372	  attributes did not exist, nor did it assume an unknown initial state
7373	  for the cursor (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7374	+ combine IDcTransformLine and NoIDcTransformLine to new TransformLine
7375	  function in lib_doupdate.c (patch by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7376	+ correct hashmap.c, which did not update index information (patch by
7377	  Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7378	+ fixes for C++ binding and demo (see c++/NEWS) (Juergen Pfeifer).
7379	+ correct index in lib_instr.c (Juergen Pfeifer).
7380	+ correct typo in 970426 patch from Tom's cleanup of lib_overlay.c
7381	  (patch by Juergen Pfeifer).
7382
7383970426
7384	+ corrected cost computation in PutRange(), which was using
7385	  milliseconds compared to characters by adding two new members to the
7386	  SCREEN struct, _hpa_ch_cost and _cup_ch_cost.
7387	+ drop ncurses/lib_unctrl.c, add ncurses/MKunctrl.awk to generate a
7388	  const array of strings (suggested by Alexander V. Lukyanov).  The
7389	  original suggestion in 970118 used a perl script.
7390	+ rewrote ncurses 'b' test to better exercise magic-cookie (xmc), as
7391	  well as noting the attributes that are not supported by a terminal.
7392	+ trace the computation of cost values in lib_mvcur.c
7393	+ modify _nc_visbuf() to use octal rather than hex, corrected sign
7394	  extension bug in that function that caused buffer overflow.
7395	+ modify trace in lib_acs.c to use _nc_visbuf().
7396	+ suppress trace within _traceattr2().
7397	+ correct logic of _tracechtype2(), which did not account for repeats
7398	  or redefinition within an acsc string.
7399	+ modify debug-library version baudrate() to use environment variable
7400	  $BAUDRATE to override speed computation.  This is needed for
7401	  regression testing.
7402	+ correct problems shown by "weblint -pedantic".
7403	+ update mailing-list information (now ncurses@bsdi.com).
7404
7405970419
7406	+ Improve form_field_validation.3x manpage to better describe the
7407	  precision parameter for TYPE_NUMERIC and TYPE_INTEGER.  Provide more
7408	  precise information how the range checking can be avoided.  (patch by
7409	  Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan Henderson)
7410	+ change type of min/max value of form types TYPE_INTEGER to long to
7411	  match SVr4 documentation.
7412	+ set the form window to stdscr in set_form_win() so that form_win()
7413	  won't return null (patch by Juergen Pfeifer, reported by Bryan
7414	  Henderson <bryanh@giraffe.netgate.net>).
7415
7416970412
7417	+ corrected ifdef'ing of inline (cf: 970321) for TRACE vs C++.
7418	+ corrected toggle_attr_off() macro (patch by Andries Brouwer).
7419	+ modify treatment of empty token in $MANPATH to /usr/man (reported by
7420	  <Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>)
7421	+ modify traces that record functions-called so that chtype and attr_t
7422	  values are expressed symbolically, to simplify reuse of generated
7423	  test-scripts on SVr4 regression testing.
7424	+ add new trace functions _traceattr2() and _tracechtype2()
7425
7426970405
7427	+ add configure option --enable-const, to support the use of 'const'
7428	  where XSI should have, but did not, specify.  This defines
7429	  NCURSES_CONST, which is an empty token otherwise, for strict
7430	  compatibility.
7431	+ make processing of configure options more verbose by echoing the
7432	  --enable/--with values.
7433	+ add configure option --enable-big-core
7434	+ set initial state of software echo off as per XSI.
7435	+ check for C++ builtin.h header
7436	+ correct computation of absolute-path for $INSTALL that dropped "-c"
7437	  parameter from the expression.
7438	+ rename config.h to ncurses_cfg.h to avoid naming-conflict when
7439	  ncurses is integrated into larger systems (adapted from diffs by
7440	  H.J.Lu for libc).
7441	+ correct inequality in lib_doupdate.c that caused a single-char to not
7442	  be updated when the char on the right-margin was not blank, idcok()
7443	  was true (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov (in 970124), reported
7444	  by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij <lerdsuwa@scf-fs.usc.edu> in 970329).
7445	+ modify 'clean' rule in include/Makefile so that files created by
7446	  configure script are removed in 'distclean' rule instead.
7447
7448970328
7449	+ correct array limit in tparam_internal(), add case to interpret "%x"
7450	  (patch by Andreas Schwab)
7451	+ rewrote number-parsing in ncurses.c 'd' test; it did not reset the
7452	  value properly when non-numeric characters were given (reported by
7453	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
7454
7455970321
7456	+ move definition of __INTERNAL_CAPS_VISIBLE before include for
7457	  progs.priv.h (patch by David MacKenzie).
7458	+ add configuration summary, reordered check for default include
7459	  directory to better accommodate a case where installer is configuring
7460	  a second copy of ncurses (reported by Klaus Weide
7461	  <kweide@tezcat.com>)
7462	+ moved the #define for 'inline' as an empty token from the
7463	  $(CFLAGS_DEBUG) symbol into config.h, to avoid redefinition warning
7464	  (reported by Ward Horner).
7465	+ modify test for bool builtin type to use 'unsigned' rather than
7466	  'unknown' when cross-compiling (reported by Ward Horner).
7467
7468970315
7469	+ add header dependencies so that "make install.libs" will succeed
7470	  even if "make all" is not done first.
7471	+ moved some macros from lib_doupdate.c to curses.priv.h to use in
7472	  expanded functions with ATAC.
7473	+ correct implementation of lib_instr.c; both XSI and SVr4 agree that
7474	  the winnstr functions can return more characters than will fit on one
7475	  line.
7476
7477970308
7478	+ modify script that generates lib_gen.c to support traces of called &
7479	  return.
7480	+ add new configure option "--disable-macros", for testing calls within
7481	  lib_gen.c
7482	+ corrected logic that screens level-checking of called/return traces.
7483
7484970301
7485	+ use new configure macro NC_SUBST to replace AC_PATH_PROG, better
7486	  addressing request by Ward Horner.
7487	+ check for cross-compiling before trying to invoke the autoconf
7488	  AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED macro (reported by Ward Horner)
7489	+ correct/simplify loop in _nc_visbuf(), 970201 changes omitted
7490	  a pointer-increment.
7491	+ eliminate obsolete symbol SHARED_ABI from dist.mk (noted by
7492	  Florian La Roche).
7493
7494970215
7495	+ add configure option --enable-expanded, together with code that
7496	  implements an expanded form of certain complex macros, for testing
7497	  with ATAC.
7498	+ disable CHECK_POSITION unless --with-assertions is configured
7499	  (Alexander V Lukyanov pointed out that this is redundant).
7500	+ use keyname() to show traced chtype values where applicable rather
7501	  than _tracechar(), which truncates the value to 8-bits.
7502	+ minor fixes to TRACE_ICALLS, added T_CREATE, TRACE_CCALLS macros.
7503	+ modify makefiles in progs and test directories to avoid using C
7504	  preprocessor options on link commands (reported by Ward Horner)
7505	+ correct ifdef/include-order for nc_alloc.h vs lib_freeall.c (reported
7506	  by Ward Horner)
7507	+ modify ifdef's to use configure-defined symbols consistently
7508	  (reported by Ward Horner)
7509	+ add/use new makefile symbols AR, AR_OPTS and LD to assist in non-UNIX
7510	  ports (reported by Ward Horner <whorner@tsi-telsys.com>)
7511	+ rename struct try to struct tries, to avoid name conflict with C++
7512	  (reported by Gary Johnson).
7513	+ modify worm.c to hide cursor while running.
7514	+ add -Wcast-qual to gcc warnings, fix accordingly.
7515	+ use PutChar rather than PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to properly handle
7516	  wrapping (Alexander V Lukyanov).
7517	+ correct spurious echoing of input in hanoi.c from eric's #291 & #292
7518	  patches (reported by Vernon C. Hoxie <vern@zebra.alphacdc.com>).
7519	+ extend IRIX configuration to IRIX64
7520	+ supply missing install.libs rule needed after restructuring
7521	  test/Makefile.in
7522
7523970208
7524	+ modify "make mostlyclean" to leave automatically-generated source
7525	  in the ncurses directory, for use in cross-compiles.
7526	+ autogenerated object-dependencies for test directory
7527	+ add configure option --with-rcs-ids
7528	+ modify configuration scripts to generate major/minor/patch versions
7529	  (suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7530	+ supply missing va_end's in lib_scanw.c
7531	+ use stream I/O for trace-output, to eliminate fixed-size buffer
7532	+ add TRACE_ICALLS definition/support to lib_trace.c
7533	+ modify Ada95 binding to work with GNAT 3.09 (Juergen Pfeifer).
7534
7535970201
7536	+ add/modify traces for called/return values to simplify extraction
7537	  for test scripts.
7538	+ changed _nc_visbuf to quote its result, and to dynamically allocate
7539	  the returned buffer.
7540	+ invoke ldconfig after installing shared library
7541	+ modify install so that overwrite applies to shared library -lcurses
7542	  in preference to static library (reported by Zeyd M Ben-Halim 960928).
7543	+ correct missing ';' in 961221 mod to overwrite optional use of $(LN_S)
7544	  symbol.
7545	+ fixes to allow "make install" to work without first doing a "make
7546	  all" (suggested by Larry Virden).
7547
7548970125
7549	+ correct order of #ifdef for TABS_OK.
7550	+ instrumented toe.c to test memory-leaks.
7551	+ correct memory-deallocation in toe.c (patch by Jesse Thilo).
7552	+ include <sys/types.h> in configuration test for regex.h (patch by
7553	  Andreas Schwab)
7554	+ make infocmp recognize -I option, for SVr4 compatibility (reported by
7555	  Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>)
7556
7557970118
7558	+ add extension 'use_default_colors()', modified test applications that
7559	  use default background (firework, gdc, hanoi, knight, worm) to
7560	  demonstrate.
7561	+ correct some limit checks in lib_doupdate.c exposed while running
7562	  worm.
7563	+ use typeCalloc macro for readability.
7564	+ add/use definition for CONST to accommodate testing with Solaris
7565	  (SVr4) curses, which doesn't use 'const' in its prototypes.
7566	+ modify ifdef's in test/hashtest.c and test/view.c to compile with
7567	  Solaris curses.
7568	+ modify _tracedump() to pad pad colors & attrs lines to match change
7569	  in 970101 showing first/last changes.
7570	+ corrected location of terminating null on dynamically allocated forms
7571	  fields (patch by Per Foreby).
7572
7573970111
7574	+ added headers to make view.c compile on SCO with the resizeterm()
7575	  code (i.e., struct winsize) - though this compiles, I don't have a
7576	  suitable test configuration since SIGWINCH doesn't pass my network to
7577	  that machine - T.Dickey.
7578	+ update test/configure.in to supply some default substitutions.
7579	+ modify configure script to add -lncurses after -lgpm to fix problem
7580	  linking against static libraries.
7581	+ add a missing noraw() to test/ncurses.c (places noted by Jeremy
7582	  Buhler)
7583	+ add a missing wclear() to test/testcurs.c (patch by Jeremy Buhler
7584	  <jbuhler@cs.washington.edu>)
7585	+ modify headers to accommodate compilers that don't allow duplicate
7586	  "#define" lines for NCURSES_VERSION (reported by Larry W. Virden
7587	  <lvirden@cas.org>)
7588	+ fix formatting glitch in curs_getch.3x (patch by Jesse Thilo).
7589	+ modify lib_doupdate to make el, el1 and ed optimization use the
7590	  can_clear_with macro, and change EmitRange to allow leaving cursor at
7591	  the middle of interval, rather than always at the end (patch by
7592	  Alexander V Lukyanov).  This was originally 960929, resync 970106.
7593
7594970104
7595	+ workaround defect in autoconf 2.12 (which terminates configuration
7596	  if no C++ compiler is found) by adding an option --without-cxx.
7597	+ modify several man-pages to use tbl, where .nf/.fi was used (reported
7598	  by Jesse Thilo).
7599	+ correct font-codes in some man-pages (patch by Jesse Thilo
7600	  <Jesse.Thilo@pobox.com>)
7601	+ use configure script's knowledge of existence of g++ library for the
7602	  c++ Makefile (reported by Paul Jackson).
7603	+ correct misleading description of --datadir configuration option
7604	  (reported by Paul Jackson <pj@sam.engr.sgi.com>)
7605
7606970101
7607	+ several corrections to _nc_mvcur_scrolln(), prompted by a bug report
7608	  from Peter Wemm:
7609	> the logic for non_dest_scroll_region was interchanged between the
7610	  forward & reverse scrolling cases.
7611	> multiple returns from the function allowed certain conditions to do
7612	  part of an operation before discovering that it couldn't be
7613	  completed, returning an error without restoring the cursor.
7614	> some returns were ERR, where the function had completed the
7615	  operation, because the insert/delete line logic was improperly
7616	  tested (this was probably the case Peter saw).
7617	> contrary to comments, some scrolling cases were tested after the
7618	  insert/delete line method.
7619	+ modify _tracedump() to show first/last changes.
7620	+ modify param of ClrUpdate() in lib_doupdate.c to 'newscr', fixes
7621	  refresh problem (reported by Peter Wemm) that caused nvi to not show
7622	  result of ":r !ls" until a ^L was typed.
7623
7624961229	(internal alpha)
7625	+ correct some of the writable-strings warnings (reported by Gary
7626	  Johnson <gjohnson@season.com>).  Note that most of the remaining ones
7627	  are part of the XSI specification, and can't be "fixed".
7628	+ improve include-dependencies in form, menu, panel directories.
7629	+ correct logic of delay_output(), which would return early if
7630	  there is data on stdin.
7631	+ modify interface & logic of _nc_timed_wait() to support 2 file
7632	  descriptors, needed for GPM.
7633	+ integrate patch by Andrew Kuchling <amk@magnet.com> for GPM (mouse)
7634	  support, correcting logic in wgetch() and _nc_mouse_parse() which
7635	  prevented patch from working properly -TD
7636	+ improve performance of panel algorithm (Juergen Pfeifer 961203).
7637	+ strip RCS id's from generated .html files in Ada95 subtree.
7638	+ resync with generated .html files (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
7639	+ terminfo.src 10.1.0 (ESR).
7640
7641961224	4.0 release
7642	+ release as 4.0 to accommodate Linux ld.so.1.8.5
7643	+ correct syntax/spelling, regenerated .doc files from .html using
7644	  lynx 2.5
7645	+ refined forms/menus makefiles (Juergen Pfeifer 961223).
7646
7647961221	- snapshot
7648	+ remove logic in read_entry.c that attempts to refine errno by using
7649	  'access()' for the directory (from patch by Florian La Roche).
7650	+ correct configure test/substitution that inhibits generating
7651	  include-path to /usr/include if gcc is used (reported by Florian La
7652	  Roche).
7653	+ modify setupterm() to allocate new TERMINAL for each call, just as
7654	  solaris' curses does (Alexander V Lukyanov 960829).
7655	+ corrected memory leaks in read_entry.c
7656	+ add configure options --with-dbmalloc, --with-dmalloc, and
7657	  --disable-leaks, tested by instrumenting infocmp, ncurses programs.
7658	+ move #include's for stdlib.h and string.h to *.priv.h to accommodate
7659	  use of dbmalloc.
7660	+ modify use of $(LN_S) to follow recommendation in autoconf 2.12,
7661	  i.e., set current directory before linking.
7662	+ split-out panel.priv.h, improve dependencies for forms, menus
7663	  (Juergen Pfeifer 961204).
7664	+ modify _nc_freewin() to reset globals curscr/newscr/stdscr when
7665	  freeing the corresponding WINDOW (found using Purify).
7666	+ modify delwin() to return ERR if the window to be deleted has
7667	  subwindows, needed as a side-effect of resizeterm() (found using
7668	  Purify).  Tested and found that SVr4 curses behaves this way.
7669	+ implement logic for _nc_freeall(), bringing stub up to date.
7670
7671961215
7672	+ modify wbkgd() so that it doesn't set nulls in the rendered text,
7673	  even if its argument doesn't specify a character (fixes test case by
7674	  Juergen Pfeifer for bug-report).
7675	+ set window-attributes in wbkgd(), to simplify comparison against
7676	  Solaris curses, which does this.
7677
7678961214	- snapshot
7679	+ replace most constants in ncurses 'o' test by expressions, making it
7680	  work with wider range of screen sizes.
7681	+ add options to ncurses.c to specify 'e' test softkey format, and the
7682	  number of header/footer lines to rip-off.
7683	+ add ^R (repaint after resize), ^L (refresh) commands to ncurses 'p'
7684	  test.
7685	+ add shell-out (!) command to ncurses 'p' test to allow test of
7686	  resize between endwin/refresh.
7687	+ correct line-wrap case in mvcur() by emitting carriage return,
7688	  overlooked in 960928, but needed due to SVr4 compatibility changes to
7689	  terminal modes in 960907.
7690	+ correct logic in wresize that causes new lines to be allocated,
7691	  broken for the special case of increasing rows only in 960907's fix
7692	  for subwindows.
7693	+ modify configure script to generate $(LDFLAGS) with -L and -l options
7694	  in preference to explicit library filenames.  (NOTE: this may
7695	  require further amending, since I vaguely recall a dynamic loader
7696	  that did not work properly without the full names, but it should be
7697	  handled as an exception to the rule, since some linkers do bulk
7698	  inclusion of libraries when given the full name - T.Dickey).
7699	+ modify configure script to allow user-supplied $CFLAGS to set the
7700	  debug-option in all libraries (requested by lots of people) -TD
7701	+ use return consistently from main(), rather than exit (reported by
7702	  Florian La Roche).
7703	+ add --enable-getcap-cache option to configure, normally disabled
7704	  (requested by Florian La Roche).
7705	+ make configure test for gettimeofday() and possibly -lbsd more
7706	  efficient (requested by Florian La Roche <florian@knorke.saar.de>)
7707	+ minor adjustments to Ada95 binding (patches by Juergen Pfeifer)
7708	+ correct attributes after emitting orig_pair in lib_vidattr.c (patch
7709	  by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7710
7711961208
7712	+ corrected README wrt Ada95 (Juergen Pfeifer)
7713
7714961207	- snapshot
7715	+ integrate resizeterm() into doupdate(), so that if screen size
7716	  changes between endwin/refresh, ncurses will resize windows to fit
7717	  (this needs additional testing with pads and softkeys).
7718	+ add, for memory-leak testing, _nc_freeall() entrypoint to free all
7719	  data used in ncurses library.
7720	+ initialize _nc_idcok, _nc_idlok statically to resolve discrepancy
7721	  between initscr() and newwin() initialization (reported by
7722	  Alexander V Lukyanov).
7723	+ test built VERSION=4.0, SHARED_ABI=4 with Linux ld.so.1.8.5
7724	  (set beta versions to those values -- NOTE that subsequent pre-4.0
7725	  beta may not be interchangeable).
7726	+ modify configure script to work with autoconf 2.12
7727
7728961130	1.9.9g release
7729	+ add copyright notices to configuration scripts (written by Thomas
7730	  Dickey).
7731
7732961127
7733	> patch, mostly for panel (Juergen Pfeifer):
7734	+ cosmetic improvement for a few routines in the ncurses core library
7735	  to avoid warning messages.
7736	+ the panel overlap detection was broken
7737	+ the panel_window() function was not fool-proof.
7738	+ Some inlining...
7739	+ Cosmetic changes (also to avoid warning messages when compiling with
7740	  -DTRACE).
7741
7742961126
7743	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
7744	+ eliminates warning messages for the compile of libform.
7745	+ inserts Per Foreby's new field type TYPE_IPV4 into libform.
7746	+ Updates man page and the Ada95 binding to reflect this.
7747	+ Improves inlining in libmenu and libform.
7748
7749961120
7750	+ improve the use of the "const" qualifier in the
7751	  panel library (Juergen Pfeifer)
7752	+ change set_panel_userptr() and panel_userptr() to use void*
7753	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
7754
7755961119
7756	+ change ABI to 3.4
7757	+ package with 961119 version of Ada95 binding (fixes for gnat-3.07).
7758	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
7759	+ correct initialization of the stdscr pseudo panel in panel library
7760	  (Juergen Pfeifer)
7761	+ use MODULE_ID (rcs keywords) in forms and menus libraries (Juergen
7762	  Pfeifer).
7763	> patch #324 (ESR):
7764	+ typo in curs_termcap man page (reported by Hendrik Reichel
7765	  <106065.2344@compuserve.com>)
7766	+ change default xterm entry to xterm-r6.
7767	+ add entry for color_xterm
7768
7769961116	- snapshot
7770	+ lint found several functions that had only #define implementations
7771	  (e.g., attr_off), modified curses.h.in to generate them as per XSI
7772	  Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
7773	+ add check in infocmp.c to guard against string compare of
7774	  CANCELLED_STRING values.
7775	+ modify firework.c, rain.c to hide cursor while running.
7776	+ correct missing va_end in lib_tparm.c
7777	+ modify hanoi.c to work on non-color terminals, and to use timing
7778	  delays when in autoplay mode.
7779	+ correct 'echochar()' to refresh immediately (reported by Adrian
7780	  Garside <94ajg2@eng.cam.ac.uk>)
7781	> patch #322 (ESR):
7782	+ reorganize terminfo.src entries for xterm.
7783
7784961109	- snapshot
7785	+ corrected error in line-breakout logic (lib_doupdate.c)
7786	+ modified newdemo to use wgetch(win) rather than getch() to eliminate
7787	  a spurious clear-screen.
7788	+ corrected ifdef's for 'poll()' configuration.
7789	+ added modules to ncurses, form, menu for Ada95 binding (Juergen
7790	  Pfeifer).
7791	+ modify set_field_buffer() to allow assignment of string longer than
7792	  the initial buffer length, and to return the complete string rather
7793	  than only the initial size (Juergen Pfeifer and Per Foreby
7794	  <perf@efd.lth.se>).
7795
7796961102	- snapshot
7797	+ configure for 'poll()' in preference to 'select()', since older
7798	  systems are more likely to have a broken 'select()'.
7799	+ modified render_char() to avoid OR'ing colors.
7800	+ minor fixes to testcurs.c, newdemo.c test programs: ifdef'd out the
7801	  resize test, use wbkgd and corrected box() parameters.
7802	+ make flushinp() test work in ncurses.c by using napms() instead of
7803	  sleep().
7804	+ undo ESR's changes to xterm-x11r6 (it no longer matched the X11R6.1
7805	  distribution, as stated)
7806	+ terminfo 9.13.18 resync (ESR)
7807	+ check for getenv("HOME") returning null (ESR).
7808	+ change buffer used to decode xterm-mouse commands to unsigned to
7809	  handle displays wider than 128 chars (Juergen Pfeifer).
7810	+ correct typo curs_outopts.3x (Juergen Pfeifer).
7811	+ correct limit-checking in wenclose() (Juergen Pfeifer).
7812	+ correction to Peter Wemm's newwin change (Thomas Fehr
7813	  <fehr@suse.de>).
7814	+ corrections to logic that combines colors and attributes; they must
7815	  not be OR'd (Juergen Pfeifer, extending from report/patch by Rick
7816	  Marshall).
7817
7818961026	- snapshot
7819	+ reset flags in 'getwin()' that might cause refresh to attempt to
7820	  manipulate the non-existent parent of a window that is read from a
7821	  file (lib_screen.c).
7822	+ restructure _nc_timed_wait() to log more information, and to try to
7823	  recover from badly-behaved 'select()' calls (still testing this).
7824	+ move define for GOOD_SELECT into configure script.
7825	+ corrected extra '\' character inserted before ',' in comp_scan.c
7826	+ corrected expansion of %-format characters in dump_entry.c; some were
7827	  rendered as octal constants.
7828	+ modify dump_entry.c to make terminfo output more readable and like
7829	  SVr4, by using "\s" for spaces (leading/trailing only), "\," for
7830	  comma, "\^" and "\:" as well.
7831	+ corrected some memory leaks in ncurses.c, and a minor logic error
7832	  in the top-level command-parser.
7833	+ correction for label format 4 (PC style with info line), a
7834	  slk_clear(), slk_restore() sequence didn't redraw the info line
7835	  (Juergen Pfeifer).
7836	+ modified the slk window (if simulated) to inherit the background and
7837	  default character attributes from stdscr (Juergen Pfeifer).
7838	+ corrected limit-check in set_top_row (Juergen Pfeifer).
7839
7840961019	- snapshot
7841	+ correct loop-limit in wnoutrefresh(), bug exposed during pipe-testing
7842	  had '.lastchar' entry one beyond '._maxx'.
7843	+ modify ncurses test-program to work with data piped to it.
7844	+ corrected pathname computation in run_tic.sh, removing extra "../"
7845	  (reported by Tim Mooney).
7846	+ modified configure script to use previous install's location for
7847	  curses.h
7848	+ added NetBSD and FreeBSD to platforms that use --prefix=/usr as
7849	  a default.
7850
7851961013
7852	+ revised xterm terminfo descriptions to reflect the several versions
7853	  that are available.
7854	+ corrected a pointer reference in dump_entry.c that didn't test if
7855	  the pointer was -1.
7856
7857961005	- snapshot
7858	+ correct _nc_mvcur_scrolln for terminals w/o scrolling region.
7859	+ add -x option to hashtest to control whether it allows writes to the
7860	  lower-right corner.
7861	+ ifdef'd (NCURSES_TEST) the logic for _nc_optimize_enable to make it
7862	  simpler to construct tests (for double-check of _nc_hash_map tests).
7863	+ correct ifdef's for c++ in curses.h
7864	+ change default xterm type to xterm-x11r6.
7865	+ correct quoting in configure that made man-pages installed with
7866	  $datadir instead of actual terminfo path.
7867	+ correct whitespace in include/Caps, which caused kf11, clr_eol and
7868	  clr_end to be omitted from terminfo.5
7869	+ fix memory leaks in delscreen() (adapted from Alexander V Lukyanov).
7870	+ improve appearance of marker in multi-selection menu (Juergen
7871	  Pfeifer)
7872	+ fix behavior for forms with all fields inactive (Juergen Pfeifer)
7873	+ document 'field_index()' (Juergen Pfeifer)
7874	> patch #321 (ESR):
7875	+ add some more XENIX keycap translations to include/Caps.
7876	+ modify newwin to set initial state of each line to 'touched'
7877	  (from patch by Peter Wemm <peter@spinner.dialix.com>)
7878	+ in SET_TTY, replace TCSANOW with TCSADRAIN (Alexander V Lukyanov).
7879
7880960928	- snapshot
7881	+ ifdef'd out _nc_hash_map (still slower)
7882	+ add graphic characters to vt52 description.
7883	+ use PutAttrChar in ClrToEOL to ensure proper background, position.
7884	+ simplify/correct logic in 'mvcur()' that does wrapping; it was
7885	  updating the position w/o actually moving the cursor, which broke
7886	  relative moves.
7887	+ ensure that 'doupdate()' sets the .oldindex values back to a sane
7888	  state; this was causing a spurious refresh in ncurses 'r'.
7889	+ add logic to configure (from vile) to guard against builders who
7890	  don't remove config.cache & config.status when doing new builds -TD
7891	+ corrected logic for 'repeat_char' in EmitRange (cf: eric #317), which
7892	  did not follow the 2-parameter scheme specified in XSI.
7893	+ corrected logic of wrefresh, wnoutrefresh broken in #319, making
7894	  clearok work properly (report by Michael Elkins).
7895	+ corrected problem with endwin introduced by #314 (removing the
7896	  scrolling-region reset) that broke ncurses.c tests.
7897	+ corrected order of args in AC_CHECK_LIB (from report by Ami Fischman
7898	  <fischman@math.ucla.edu>).
7899	+ corrected formatting of terminfo.5 tables (Juergen Ehling)
7900	> patch 320 (ESR):
7901	+ change ABI to 3.3
7902	+ emit a carriage-return in 'endwin()' to workaround a kernel bug in
7903	  BSDI.  (requested by Mike Karels <karels@redrock.bsdi.com>)
7904	+ reverse the default o configure --enable-termcap (consensus).
7905	> patch 319 (ESR):
7906	+ modified logic for clearok and related functions (from report by
7907	  Michael Elkins) - untested
7908	> patch 318 (ESR):
7909	+ correction to #317.
7910	> patch 317 (ESR):
7911	+ re-add _nc_hash_map
7912	+ modify EmitRange to maintain position as per original design.
7913	+ add hashtest.c, program to time the hashmap optimization.
7914	> patch 316 (ESR):
7915	+ add logic to deal with magic-cookie (how was this tested?)
7916	  (lib_doupdate.c).
7917	+ add ncurses.c driver for magic-cookie, some fixes to ncurses.c
7918	> patch 315 (ESR):
7919	+ merged Alexander V Lukyanov's patch to use ech and rep - untested
7920	  (lib_doupdate.c).
7921	+ modified handling of interrupted system calls - untested
7922	  (lib_getch.c, lib_twait.c).
7923	+ new function _nc_mvcur_resume()
7924	+ fix return value for 'overlay()', 'overwrite()'
7925
7926960914	- snapshot
7927	+ implement subwindow-logic in wresize, minor fixes to ncurses 'g'
7928	  test.
7929	+ corrected bracketing of fallback.c (reported/suggested fix by Juergen
7930	  Ehling <eh@eclipse.aball.de>).
7931	+ update xterm-color to reflect XFree86 3.1.3G release.
7932	+ correct broken dtterm description from #314 patch (e.g., spurious
7933	  newline.  The 'pairs' change might work, but no one's tested it
7934	  either ;-)
7935	+ clarify the documentation for the builtin form fieldtypes (Juergen
7936	  Pfeifer)
7937	> patch 314 (ESR):
7938	+ reset scroll region on startup rather than at wrapup time
7939	  (enhancement suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7940	+ make storage of palette tables and their size counts per-screen for
7941	  multi-terminal applications (suggested by Alexander V Lukyanov).
7942	+ Improved error reporting for infotocap translation errors.
7943	+ Update terminfo.src to 9.13.14.
7944
7945960907	- snapshot
7946	+ rewrote wgetstr to make it erase control chars and also fix bogus use
7947	  of _nc_outstr which caused the display to not wrap properly (display
7948	  problem reported by John M. Flinchbaugh <glynis@netrax.net>)
7949	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to accommodate terminal responses to C1 codes
7950	  (and split up this screen to accommodate non-ANSI terminals).
7951	+ test enter_insert_mode and exit_insert_mode in has_ic().
7952	+ removed bogus logic in mvcur that assumes nl/nonl set output modes
7953	  (XSI says they are input modes; SVr4 implements this).
7954	+ added macros SET_TTY, GET_TTY to term.h
7955	+ correct getstr() logic that altered terminal modes w/o restoring.
7956	+ disable ICRNL, etc., during initialization to match SVr4, removing
7957	  the corresponding logic from raw, cbreak, etc.
7958	+ disable ONLCR during initialization, to match SVr4 (this is needed
7959	  for cursor optimization when the cursor-down is a newline).
7960	+ replaced ESR's imitation of wresize with my original (his didn't
7961	  work).
7962
7963960831	- snapshot
7964	+ memory leaks (Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7965	+ modified pnoutrefresh() to be more tolerant of too-large screen
7966	  size (reported by Michael Elkins).

7968	  Muyter)
7969	+ correct "tic -s" to take into account -I, -C options.
7970	+ modify ncurses 'f' test to not print codes 80 through 9F, since they
7971	  are considered control codes by ANSI terminals.
7972
7973960824	- snapshot
7974	+ correct speed variable-type in 'tgetent()' (reported by Peter Wemm)
7975	+ make "--enable-getcap" configuration-option work (reported by
7976	  Peter Wemm <peter@spinner.DIALix.COM>)
7977
7978960820
7979	+ correct err in 960817 that changed return-value of tigetflag()
7980	  (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov).
7981	+ modify infocmp to use library default search-path for terminfo
7982	  directory (Alexander V. Lukyanov).

7987	  descriptions that existed in directories past the first one searched
7988	  (reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov)
7989	+ corrected typo in dtterm description.
7990	> patch 313 (ESR):

7997	+ refine configure-test for -g option (Tim Mooney).
7998	+ correct interaction between O_BLANK and NEW_LINE request in form
7999	  library (Juergen Pfeifer)
8000
8001960804
8002	+ revised fix to tparm; previous fix reversed parameter order.
8003	> patch 312 (ESR):
8004	  correct terminfo.src corrupted by #310
8005	> patch 311 (ESR):
8006	+ fix idlok() and idcok() and the default of the idlok switch.
8007
8008960803	- snapshot
8009	+ corrected tparm to handle capability strings without explicit pop
8010	  (reported by William P Setzer)
8011	+ add fallback def for GCC_NORETURN, GCC_UNUSED for termcap users
8012	  (reported by Tim Mooney).
8013	> patch 310 (ESR):
8014	+ documentation and prototyping errors for has_color, immedok and idcok
8015	  (reported by William P Setzer <wsetzer@pams.ncsu.edu>)
8016	+ updated qnx terminfo entry (by Michael Hunter)
8017
8018960730
8019	+ eliminate quoted includes in ncurses subdirectory, ensure config.h
8020	  is included first.
8021	+ newterm initializes terminal settings the same as initscr (reported
8022	  by Tim Mooney).
8023
8024960727	- snapshot
8025	+ call cbreak() in initscr(), as per XSI & SVr4.
8026	+ turn off hardware echo in initscr() as per XSI & SVr4

8029	+ add more checks to terminfo parser.
8030	+ add more symbols to infocmp.
8031
8032960720	- snapshot
8033	+ save previous-attribute in lib_vidattr.c if SP is null (reported by
8034	  Juergen Fluk <louis@dachau.marco.de>)
8035	+ corrected calls on _nc_render so that background character is set
8036	  as per XSI.
8037	+ corrected wbkgdset macro (XSI allows background character to be
8038	  null), and tests that use it.
8039	+ more corrections to terminfo (xterm & rxvt)
8040	+ undid change to mcprint prototype (cannot use size_t in curses.h
8041	  because not all systems declare it in the headers that we can safely
8042	  include therein).
8043	+ move the ifdefs for errno into curses.priv.h
8044	> patch 308 (ESR):
8045	+ terminfo changes (9.3.8)
8046	+ modified logic of error-reporting in terminfo parser
8047
8048960713	- snapshot
8049	+ always check for <sys/bsdtypes.h> since ISC needs it to declare
8050	  fd_set (Juergen Pfeifer)
8051	+ install shared-libraries on NetBSD/FreeBSD with ABI-version (reported
8052	  by Juergen Pfeifer, Mike Long)

8054	+ corrected prototype for delay_output() -- bump ABI to 3.2
8055	+ terminfo patches #306/307 (ESR).
8056	+ moved logic that filters out rmul and rmso from setupterm to newterm
8057	  where it is less likely to interfere with termcap applications.
8058
8059960707
8060	+ rollback ESR's #305 change to terminfo.src (it breaks existing
8061	  applications, e.g., 'less 290').
8062	+ correct path of edit_man.sh, and fix typo that made all man-pages
8063	  preformatted.
8064	+ restore man/menu_requestname.3x omitted in Zeyd's resync (oops).
8065	+ auto-configure the GCC_PRINTFLIKE/GCC_SCANFLIKE macros (reported by

8080	+ use getopt in ncurses program to process -s and -t options.
8081	+ make ncurses 'p' legend toggle with '?'
8082	+ disable scrollok during the ncurses 'p' test; if it is enabled the
8083	  stdscr will scroll when putting the box-corners in the lower-right
8084	  of the screen.
8085
8086960629	- snapshot
8087	+ check return code of _nc_mvcur_scrolln() in _nc_scroll_optimize() for
8088	  terminals with no scrolling-support (reported by Nikolay Shadrin
8089	  <queen@qh.mirea.ac.ru>)
8090	+ added ^S scrollok-toggle to ncurses 'g' test.
8091	+ added ^T trace-toggle to ncurses tests.
8092	+ modified ncurses test program to use ^Q or ESC consistently for
8093	  terminating tests (rather than ^D), and to use control keys rather
8094	  than function keys in 'g' test.
8095	+ corrected misplaced wclrtoeol calls in addch to accommodate wrapping
8096	  (reported by Philippe De Muyter).
8097	+ modify lib_doupdate.c to use effective costs to tradeoff between
8098	  delete-character/insert-character vs normal updating (reported by
8099	  David MacKenzie).
8100	+ compute effective costs for screen update operations (e.g., clr_eos,
8101	  delete_character).
8102	+ corrected error in knight.c exposed by wrap fixes in 960622; the
8103	  msgwin needed scrollok set.
8104	+ corrected last change to IDcTransformLine logic to avoid conflict
8105	  between PutRange and InsStr
8106	+ modified run_tic.sh to not use /usr/tmp (reported by David
8107	  MacKenzie), and further revised it and aclocal.m4 to use $TMPDIR if
8108	  set.
8109	+ corrected off-by-one in RoomFor call in read_entry.c
8110
8111960622	- snapshot
8112	+ modified logic that wraps cursor in addch to follow the XSI spec,
8113	  (implemented in SVr4) which states that the cursor position is
8114	  updated when wrapping.  Renamed _NEED_WRAP to _WRAPPED to reflect the
8115	  actual semantics.
8116	+ added -s option to tic, to provide better diagnostics in run_tic.sh
8117	+ improved error-recovery for tabset install.
8118	+ change ABI to 3.1 (dropped tparam, corrected getbkgd(), added

8122	+ documentation fixes (Juergen Pfeifer).
8123	+ corrected, using new SCREEN and WINDOW members, the behavior of
8124	  ncurses if one uses ripoffline() to remove a line from the top of the
8125	  screen (Juergen Pfeifer).
8126	+ modified autoconf scripts to prepare for Ada95 (GNAT) binding to
8127	  ncurses (Juergen Pfeifer).
8128	+ incorrect buffer-size in _nc_read_entry, reported by ESR.
8129
8130960617
8131	+ corrected two logic errors in read_entry.c, write_entry.c (called by
8132	  tic, the write/read of terminfo entries used inconsistent rules for
8133	  locating the entries; the $TERMINFO_DIRS code would find only the
8134	  first entry in a list).
8135	+ refined pathname computation in run_tic.sh and shlib.
8136	+ corrected initialization of $IP in misc/run_tic.sh
8137
8138960615	- snapshot
8139	+ ifdef'd out _nc_hash_map() call because it does not improve speed.
8140	+ display version of gcc if configure script identifies it.
8141	+ modify configure script to use /usr as Linux's default prefix.
8142	+ modify run_tic.sh to use shlib script, fixes some problems installing
8143	  with a shared-library configuration.
8144	+ adjusted configure script so that it doesn't run tests with the
8145	  warnings turned on, which makes config.log hard to read.
8146	+ added 'lint' rule to top-level Makefile.
8147	+ added configure option '--with-install-prefix' for use by system
8148	  builders to install into staging locations (requested by
8149	  Charles Levert <charles@comm.polymtl.ca>).
8150	+ corrected autoconfigure for Debian man program; it's not installed
8151	  as "man_db".
8152	+ set noecho in 'worm'; it was ifdef'd for debug only
8153	+ updated test/configure.in for timing-display in ncurses 'p' test
8154	+ corrected misspelled 'getbkgd()'.
8155	+ corrected wbkgdset to work like observed syvr4 (sets A_CHARTEXT part
8156	  to blank if no character given, copies attributes to window's
8157	  attributes).
8158	+ modified lib_doupdate.c to use lower-level SP's current_attr state
8159	  instead of curscr's state, since it is redundant.
8160	+ correction to IDcTransformLine logic which controls where InsStr is
8161	  invoked (refined by Alexander V Lukyanov).
8162	> patch 303 (ESR):
8163	+ conditionally include Chris Torek's hash function _nc_hash_map().
8164	+ better fix for nvi refresh-bug (Rick Marshall)
8165	+ fix for bug in handling of interrupted keystroke waits,
8166	  (Werner Fleck).

8177	  checking when creating the label window (Juergen Pfeifer).
8178	+ enhancement to the control over the new PC-style soft key format.
8179	  allow caller now to select whether or not one wants to have
8180	  the index-line; see curs_slk.3x for documentation (Juergen Pfeifer).
8181	+ typos, don't use inline with -g (Philippe De Muyter)
8182	+ fixes for menus & wattr-, slk-functions (Juergen Pfeifer)

8201	  <lav@yars.free.net>).
8202	+ autoconf mods (Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>).
8203	+ locale fix for forms (Philippe De Muyter <phdemuyt@ulb.ac.be>)
8204	+ renamed "--with-datadir" option to "--with-ticdir" to avoid
8205	  confusion, and made this check for the /usr/lib/terminfo pre-existing
8206	  directory.
8207	> patches 299-301 (ESR):
8208	+ added hashmap.c
8209	+ mods to tracing, especially for ACS chars.
8210	+ corrected off-by-one in IDCtransform.

8216	  list from a file.
8217
8218960511
8219	+ don't use fixed buffer-size in tparm().

8254960426	- snapshot
8255	+ change ncurses 'a' test to run in raw mode.
8256	+ make TIOCGWINSZ configure test less stringent, in case user

8258	> patches 295, 296 (ESR):
8259	+ new "-e" option of tic.
8260	+ fix for "infocmp -e".

8285
8286### ncurses-1.9.8a -> 1.9.9e
8287
8288* fixed broken wsyncup()/wysncdown(), as a result wnoutrefresh() now has
8289  copy-changed-lines behavior.
8290* added and documented wresize() function.
8291* more fixes to LOWER-RIGHT corner handling.
8292* changed the line-breakout optimization code to allow some lines to be
8293  emitted before the first check.
8294* added option for tic to use symbolic instead of hard links (for AFS)
8295* fix to restore auto-wrap mode.
8296* trace level can be controlled by environment variable.
8297* better handling of NULs in terminal descriptions.
8298* improved compatibility with observed SVR4 behavior.
8299* the refresh behavior of over-lapping windows is now more efficient and
8300  behaves like SVR4.
8301* use autoconf 2.7, which results in a working setup for SCO 5.0.
8302* support for ESCDELAY.
8303* small fixes for menu/form code.
8304* the test directory has its own configure.
8305* fixes to pads when optimizing scrolling.
8306* fixed several off-by-one bugs.
8307* fixes for termcap->terminfo translation; less restrictions more correct
8308  behavior.
8309
8310### ncurses-1.9.7 -> 1.9.8a
8311
8312* teach infocmp -i to recognize ECMA highlight sequences
8313* infocmp now dumps all SVr4 termcaps (not just the SVr4 ones) on -C
8314* support infocmp -RBSD.
8315* satisfy XSI Curses requirement that every macro be available as a function.
8316* This represents the last big change to the public interface of ncurses. The
8317  ABI_VERSION has now been set at 3.0 and should stay there barring any great
8318  catastrophies or acts of God.
8319* The C++ has been cleaned up in reaction to the changes to satisfy XSI's
8320  requirements.
8321* libncurses now gets linked to libcurses to help seamless emulation
8322  (replacement) of a vendor's curses. --disable-overwrite turns this behavior
8323  off.
8324
8325### ncurses-1.9.6 -> 1.9.7
8326
8327* corrected return values of setupterm()
8328* Fixed some bugs in tput (it does padding now)
8329* fixed a bug in tic that made it do the wrong thing on entries with more than
8330  one `use' capability.
8331* corrected the screen-size calculation at startup time to alter the
8332  numeric capabilities as per SVr4, not just LINES and COLS.
8333* toe(1) introduced; does what infocmp -T used to.
8334* tic(1) can now translate AIX box1 and font[0123] capabilities.
8335* tic uses much less core, the dotic.sh kluge can go away now.
8336* fix read_entry() and write_entry() to pass through cancelled capabilities OK.
8337* Add $HOME/.terminfo as source/target directory for terminfo entries.
8338* termcap compilation now automatically dumps an entry to $HOME/.terminfo.
8339* added -h option to toe(1).
8340* added -R option to tic(1) and infocmp(1).
8341* added fallback-entry-list feature.
8342* added -i option to infocmp(1).
8343* do a better job at detecting if we're on SCO.
8344
8345### ncurses-1.9.5 -> 1.9.6
8346
8347* handling of TERMCAP environment variables now works correctly.
8348* various changes to shorten termcap translations to less that 1024 chars.
8349* tset(1) added
8350* mouse support for xterm.
8351* most data tables are now const and accordingly live in shareable text space.
8352* Obey the XPG4/SVr4 practice that echo() is initally off.
8353* tic is much better at translating XENIX and AIX termcap entries now.
8354* tic can interpret ko capabilities now.
8355* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's forms library.
8356* taught write_entry() how not to write more than it needs to; this change
8357  reduces the size of the terminfo tree by a full 26%!
8358* infocmp -T option added.
8359* better warnings about historical tic quirks from tic.
8360

8371* more support for shared libraries under SunOS and IRIX.
8372
8373### ncurses 1.9.3 -> 1.9.4
8374
8375* fixed an undefined-order-of-evaluation bug in lib_acs.c
8376* systematically gave non-API public functions and data an _nc_ prefix.
8377* integrated Juergen Pfeifer's menu code into the distribution.
8378* totally rewrote the knight test game's interface
8379
8380### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.3
8381
8382* fixed the TERMCAP_FILE Support.
8383* fixed off-by-one errors in scrolling code
8384* added tracemunch to the test tools
8385* took steps to cut the running time of make install.data
8386
8387### ncurses 1.9.2c -> 1.9.2d
8388
8389* revised 'configure' script to produce libraries for normal, debug,
8390  profile and shared object models.
8391
8392### ncurses 1.9.1 -> 1.9.2
8393
8394* use 'autoconf' to implement 'configure' script.
8395* panels support added
8396* tic now checks for excessively long termcap entries when doing translation
8397* first cut at eliminating namespace pollution.
8398
8399### ncurses 1.8.9 -> 1.9
8400
8401* cleanup gcc warnings for the following: use size_t where 'int' is not
8402  appropriate, fixed some shadowed variables, change attr_t to compatible with
8403  chtype, use attr_t in some places where it was confused with 'int'.
8404* use chtype/attr_t casts as appropriate to ensure portability of masking
8405  operations.
8406* added-back waddchnstr() to lib_addstr.c (it had been deleted).
8407* supplied missing prototypes in curses.h
8408* include <termcap.h> in lib_termcap.c to ensure that the prototypes
8409  are consistent (they weren't).
8410* corrected prototype of tputs in <termcap.h>
8411* rewrote varargs parsing in lib_tparm.c (to avoid referencing memory
8412  that may be out of bounds on the stack) -- Purify found this.
8413* ensure that TRACE is defined in lib_trace.c (to solve prototype
8414  warnings from gcc).
8415* corrected scrolling-region size in 'mvcur_wrap()'
8416* more spelling fixes
8417* use 'calloc()' to allocate WINDOW struct in lib_newwin.c (Purify).
8418* set default value for SP->_ofp in lib_set_term.c (otherwise SunOS dumps
8419  core in init_acs()).
8420* include <errno.h> in write_entry.c (most "braindead" includes declare errno
8421  in that file).
8422
8423### ncurses 1.8.8 -> 1.8.9
8424
8425* compile (mostly) clean with gcc 2.5.8 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
8426  -Wmissing-prototypes -Wconversion and using __attribute__ to flush out
8427  non-portable use of "%x" for pointers, or for chtype data (which is declared
8428  as a long).
8429* modified doupdate to ensure that typahead was turned on before attempting
8430  select-call (otherwise, some implementations hang).
8431* added trace mask TRACE_FIFO, use this in lib_getch.c to allow finer
8432  resolution of traces.
8433* improved bounds checking on several critical functions.
8434* the data directory has been replaced by the new master terminfo file.
8435* -F file-comparison option added to infocmp.
8436* compatibility with XSI Curses is now documented in the man bages.
8437* wsyncup/wsyncdown functions are reliable now; subwindow code in general
8438  is much less flaky.
8439* capabilities ~msgr, tilde_glitch, insert_padding, generic_type, no_pad_char,
8440  memory_above, memory_below, and hard_copy are now used properly.
8441* cursor-movement optimization has been completely rewritten.
8442* vertical-movement optimization now uses hardware scrolling, il, dl.
8443
8444### ncurses 1.8.7 -> 1.8.8
8445* untic no longer exists, infocmp replaces it.
8446* tic can understand termcap now, especially if it is called captoinfo.
8447* The Linux Standard Console terminfo entry is called linux insead of console.
8448  It also uses the kernel's new method of changing charsets.
8449* initscr() will EXIT upon error (as the docs say) This wil mostly happen if
8450  you try to run on an undefined terminal.
8451* I can get things running on AIX but tic can't compile terminfo. I have to
8452  compile entries on another machine. Volunteers to hunt this bug are welcome.
8453* wbkgd() and wbkgdset() can be used to set a windows background to color.
8454  wclear()/werase() DO NOT use the current attribute to clear the screen.
8455  This is the way SVR4 curses works. PDCurses 2.1 is broken in this respect,
8456  though PDCurses 2.2 has been fixed.
8457* cleaned up the test/ directory.
8458* test/worm will segfault after quite a while.
8459* many spelling corrections courtesy of Thomas E. Dickey
8460
8461### ncurses 1.8.6 -> 1.8.7
8462* cleaned up programs in test/ directory.
8463* fixed wbkgdset() macro.
8464* modified getstr() to stop it from advancing cursor in noecho mode.
8465* modified linux terminfo entry to work with the latest kernel to get
8466  the correct alternate character set.
8467* also added a linux-mono entry for those running on monochrome screens.
8468* changed initscr() so that it behaves like the man page says it does.
8469  this fixes the problem with programs in test/ crashing with SIGSEV if
8470  a terminal is undefined.
8471* modified addch() to avoid using any term.h #define's
8472* removed duplicate tgoto() in lib_tparm.c
8473* modified dump_entry.c so that infocmp deals correctly with ',' in acsc
8474* modified delwin() to correctly handle deleting subwindows.
8475* fixed Makefile.dist to stop installing an empty curses.h
8476* fixed a couple of out-of-date notes in man pages.
8477
8478### ncurses 1.8.5 -> 1.8.6
8479* Implemented wbkgd(), bkgd(), bkgdset(), and wbkgdset().
8480* The handling of attributes has been improved and now does not turn off color
8481  if other attributes are turned off.
8482* scrolling code is improved. Scrolling in subwindows is still broken.
8483* Fixes to several bugs that manifest them on platforms other than Linux.
8484* The default to meta now depends on the status of the terminal when ncurses
8485  is started.
8486* The interface to the tracing facility has changed.  Instead of the pair of
8487  functions traceon() and traceoff(), there is just one function trace() which
8488  takes a trace mask argument.  The trace masks, defined in curses.h, are
8489  as follows:
8490
8491	#define TRACE_DISABLE   0x00    /* turn off tracing */
8492	#define TRACE_ORDINARY  0x01    /* ordinary trace mode */
8493	#define TRACE_CHARPUT   0x02    /* also trace all character outputs */
8494	#define TRACE_MAXIMUM   0x0f    /* maximum trace level */
8495
8496  More trace masks may be added, or these may be changed, in future releases.
8497* The pad code has been improved and the pad test code in test/ncurses.c has
8498  been improved.
8499* The prototype ansi entry has been changed to work with a wider variety
8500  of emulators.
8501* Fix to the prototype ansi entry that enables it to work with PC emulators
8502  that treat trailing ";m" in a highlight sequence as ";0m"; this doesn't
8503  break operation with any emulators.
8504* There are now working infocmp, captoinfo, tput, and tclear utilities.
8505* tic can now compile entries in termcap syntax.
8506* Core-dump bug in pnoutrefresh fixed.
8507* We now recognize and compile all the nonstandard capabilities in Ross
8508  Ridge's mytinfo package (rendering it obsolete).
8509* General cleanup and documentation improvements.
8510* Fixes and additions to the installation-documentation files.
8511* Take cursor to normal mode on endwin.
8512
8513### ncurses 1.8.4 -> 1.8.5
8514* serious bugs in updating screen which caused erratic non-display,
8515  fixed.
8516* fixed initialization for getch() related variable which cause
8517  unpredictable results.
8518* fixed another doupdate bug which only appeared if you have
8519  parm_char.
8520* implemented redrawln() and redrawwin().
8521* implemented winsnstr() and related functions.
8522* cleaned up insertln() and deleteln() and implemented (w)insdeln().
8523* changed Makefile.dist so that installation of man pages will
8524  take note of the terminfo directory.
8525* fixed Configure (removed the mysterious 'X').
8526* Eric S. Raymond fixed the script.* files so that they work with
8527  stock awk.
8528
8529#### ncurses 1.8.3 -> 1.8.4 #### ####
8530* fixed bug in refreshing the screen after return from shell_mode.
8531  There are still problems but they don't manifest themselves on
8532  my machine (Linux 0.99.14f).
8533* added wgetnstr() and modified things accordingly.
8534* fixed the script.src script.test to work with awk not just gawk.
8535* Configure can now take an argument of the target system.
8536* added test/ncurses.c which replaces several other programs and
8537  performs more testing.
8538[Thanks to Eric S Raymond for the last 4]
8539* more fixes to lib_overlay.c and added test/over.c to illustrate
8540  how it works.
8541* fixed ungetch() to take int instead of ch.
8542* fixes to cure wgetch() if flushinp() is called.
8543
8544One note I forgot to mention in 1.8.3 is that tracing is off by
8545default starting in the version. If you want tracing output, put
8546traceon(); in your code and link with -ldcurses.
8547
8548#### ncurses 1.8.2 -> ncurses 1.8.3 #### ####
8549MAJOR CHANGES:
85501) The order of capabilities has been changed in order to achieve
8551binary compatibility with SVR4 terminfo database. This has the
8552unfortunate effect of breaking application currently linked with
8553ncurses. To ensure correct behavior, recompile all such programs.
8554Most programs using color or newer capabilities will break, others
8555will probably continue to work ok.
8556
85572) Pavel Curtis has renounced his copyright to the public domain.
8558This means that his original sources (posted to comp.sources.unix,
8559volume 1) are now in the public domain.  The current sources are
8560NOT in the public domain, they are copyrighted by me.  I'm
8561entertaining ideas on what the new terms ncurses is released under.
8562
85633) Eric S. Raymond has supplied a complete set of man pages for
8564ncurses in ?roff format. They will eventually replace most of the
8565current docs. Both sets are included in this release.
8566
8567Other changes and notes from 1.8.2 include:
8568* SIGSEGV during scrolling no longer occurs.
8569* Other problems with scrolling and use of idl have been corrected.
8570* lib_getch.c has been re-written and should perform flawlessly.
8571  please use test/getch.c and any other programs to test this.
8572* ripoffline() is implemented (Thanks to Eric) and slk_ functions
8573  changed accordingly.
8574* I've added support for terminals that scroll if you write in the
8575  bottom-right corner.
8576* fixed more bugs in pads code. If anybody has a program that uses
8577  pads I'd love a copy.
8578* correct handling for terminal with back_color_erase capability
8579  (such as Linux console, and most PC terminals)
8580* ^Z handling apparently didn't work (I should never trust code
8581  sent me to me without extensive testing). It now seems to be
8582  fixed. Let me know if you have problems.
8583* I've added support for Apollo and NeXT, but it may still be
8584  incomplete, especially when dealing with the lack of POSIX
8585  features.
8586* scrolling should be more efficient on terminals with idl
8587  capabilities. Please see src/lib_scroll.c for more notes.
8588* The line drawing routines were offset by 1 at both ends. This
8589  is now fixed.
8590* added a few missing prototypes and macros (e.g. setterm())
8591* fixed code in src/lib_overlay.c which used to crash.
8592* added a few more programs in test/ The ones from the PDCurses
8593  package are useful, especially if you have SVR4 proper. I'm
8594  interested in the results you get on such a systems (Eric? ;-).
8595  They already exposed certain bugs in ncurses.
8596* See src/README for porting notes.
8597* The C++ code should really replace ncurses.h instead of working
8598  around it. It should avoid name-space clashes with nterm.h (use
8599  rows instead of lines, etc.)
8600* The C++ should compile ok. I've added explicit rules to the
8601  Makefile because no C++ defaults are documented on the suns.
8602* The docs say that echo() and nocbreak() are mutually exclusive.
8603  At the moment ncurses will switch to cbreak() if the case above
8604  occurs. Should it continue to do so? How about echo() and noraw()?
8605* PDCurses seem to assume that wclear() will use current attribute
8606  when clearing the screen. According to Eric this is not the case
8607  with SVR4.
8608* I have discovered, to my chagrin, SunOS 4.x (and probably other systems)
8609  * doesn't have vsscanf and God knows what else!  I've will do a vsscanf().
8610* I've also found out that the src/script.* rely on gawk and will not
8611  work with stock awk or even with nawk. Any changes are welcome.
8612* Linux is more tolerant of NULL dereferences than most systems. This
8613  fact was exposed by hanoi.
8614* ncurses still seems inefficient in drawing the screen on a serial
8615  link between Linux and suns. The padding may be the culprit.
8616* There seems to be one lingering problem with doupdate() after shelling
8617  out. Despite the fact the it is sending out the correct information
8618  to the terminal, nothing takes effect until you press ^L or another
8619  refresh takes place. And yes, output does get flushed.
8620
8621#### ncurses 1.8.1 -> ncurses 1.8.2 #### Nov 28, 1993 ####
8622
8623* added support for SVR4 and BSDI's BSD/386.
8624* major update and fix to scrolling routine.
8625* MORE fixes to stuff in lib_getch.c.
8626* cleaned-up configuration options and can now generate
8627	Config.* files through an awk script.
8628* changed setupterm() so it can be called more than once,
8629	add added set_curterm(), del_curterm().
8630* a few minor cleanups.
8631* added more prototypes in curses.h
8632
8633#### ncurses 1.8 -> ncurses 1.8.1 #### Nov 4, 1993 ####
8634
8635* added support for NeXTStep 3.0
8636* added termcap emulation (not well tested).
8637* more complete C++ interface to ncurses.
8638* fixed overlay(), overwrite(), and added copywin().
8639* a couple of bug fixes.
8640* a few code cleanups.
8641
8642#### ncurses 0.7.2/0.7.3 -> ncurses 1.8 #### Aug 31, 1993 ####
8643
8644* The annoying message "can't open file." was due to missing
8645  terminfo entry for the used terminal. It has now been
8646  replaced by a hopefully more helpful message.
8647* Problems with running on serial lines are now fixed.
8648* Added configuration files for SunOS, Linux, HP/UX, Ultrix,
8649  386bsd/BSDI (if you have others send'em to me)
8650* Cleaner Makefile.
8651* The documentation in manual.doc is now more uptodate.
8652* update optimization and support for hp terminals, and 386bsd
8653  console driver(s).
8654* mvcur optimization for terminals without cursor addressing
8655  (doesn't work on Linux)
8656* if cursor moved since last update, getch() will refresh the
8657  screen before working.
8658* getch() & alarm() can now live together. in 0.7.3 a signal
8659  interrupted getch() (bug or feature?) now the getch is
8660  restarted.
8661* scanw() et all were sick, now fixed.
8662* support for 8-bit input (use meta()).
8663* added default screen size to all terminfos.
8664* added c++ Ncursesw class.
8665* several minor bug fixes.
8666
8667#### ncurses 0.7.2 -> ncurses 0.7.3 #### May 27, 1993 ####
8668
8669* Config file to cope with different platforms (386BSD, BSDI, Ultrix, SunOS)
8670* more fixes to lib_getch.c
8671* changes related to Config
8672
8673#### ncurses 0.7 -> ncurses 0.7.2 #### May 22, 1993 ####
8674
8675* docs updated slightly (color usage is now documented).
8676* yet another fix for getch(), this one fixes problems with ESC being swallowed
8677  if another character is typed before the 1 second timeout.
8678* Hopefully, addstr() and addch() are 8-bit clean.
8679* fixed lib_tparm.c to use stdarg.h (should run on suns now)
8680* order of capabilities changed to reflect that specified in SYSV
8681  this will allow for binary-compatibility with existing terminfo dbs.
8682* added halfdelay()
8683* fixed problems with asc_init()
8684* added A_PROTECT and A_INVIS
8685* cleaned up vidputs()
8686* general cleanup of the code
8687* more attention to portability to other systems
8688* added terminfos for hp70092 (wont work until changes to lib_update.c are
8689  made) and 386BSD pcvt drivers.
8690
8691Thanks to Hellmuth Michaelis for his help.
8692optimization code is slated for the next major release, stay tuned!
8693
8694#### ncurses 0.6/0.61 -> ncurses 0.7 #### April 1, 1993
8695Please note that the next release will be called 1.8. If you want to know about
8696the rationale drop me a line.
8697
8698Included are several test programs in test/.
8699I've split up the panels library, reversi, tetris, sokoban. They are now
8700available separately from netcom.com:pub/zmbenhal/
8701
8702* color and ACS support is now fully compatible with SYSV at the terminfo
8703  level.
8704* Capabilities now includes as many SYSV caps I could find.
8705* tigetflag,tigetnum,tigetstr functions added.
8706* boolnames, boolfnames, boolcodes numnames, numfnames, numcodes,
8707  strnames, strfnames, strcodes arrays are now added.
8708* keyname() is added.
8709* All function keys can be defined in terminfo entries.
8710* fixed lin_tparm.c to behave properly.
8711* terminfo entries for vt* and xterm are included (improvements are welcome)
8712* more automation in handling caps and keys.
8713* included fixes from 0.6.1
8714* added a few more missing functions.
8715* fixed a couple of minor bugs.
8716* updated docs JUST a little (still miles behind in documenting the newer
8717	features).
8718
8719#### ncurses 0.6 -> ncurses 0.61 ####
8720
87211) Included the missing data/console.
8722
87232) allow attributes when drawing boxes.
8724
87253) corrected usage of win->_delay value.
8726
87274) fixed a bug in lib_getch.c. if it didn't recognize a sequence it would
8728	simply return the last character in the sequence. The correct
8729	behavior is to return the entire sequence one character at a time.
8730
8731#### ncurses0.5 -> ncurses0.6 #### March 1, 1993 ####
8732* removed _numchngd from struct _win_st and made appropriate changes.
8733* rewritten kgetch() to remove problems with interaction between alarm and
8734  read(). It caused SIGSEGV every now and then.

8773* Addition of function prototypes.
8774* Addition of several missing functions.
8775* No more crashes if screen size is undefined (use SIGWINCH handler).
8776* added a handler to cleanup after SIGSEGV (hopefully never needed).
8777* changed SRCDIR from /etc/term to /usr/lib/terminfo.
8778* renamed compile/dump to tic/untic.
8779* New scrolling code.
8780* fixed bug that reversed the sense of nl() and nonl().
8781
8782#### ncurses 0.2 -> ncurses 0.3 #### Jan 20, 1993 ####
8783* more support for color and graphics see test/ for examples.
8784* fixed various files to allow correct update after shelling out.
