The former option + allows larger symbol tables. + + update config.guess and config.sub (patches by + Kevin Buettner <kev@primenet.com> for elf64_ia64 + Bernd Kuemmerlen <bkuemmer@mevis.de> and MacOS X). + + add warning for 'tic -cv' about use of '^?' in terminfo source, which + is an extension. + +20000527 + + modify echo() behavior of getch() to match Solaris curses for + carriage return and backspace (reported by Neil Zanella). + + change _nc_flush() to a function. + + modify delscreen() to check if the output stream has been closed, and + if so, free the buffer allocated for setbuf (this provides an + ncurses-specific way to avoid a memory leak when repeatedly calling + newterm reported by Chipp C <at_1@zdnetonebox.com>). + + correct typo in curs_getch.3x manpage regarding noecho (reported by + David Malone <dwmalone@maths.tcd.ie>). + + add a "make libs" rule. + + make the Ada95 interface build with configure --enable-widec. + + if the configure --enable-widec option is given, append 'w' to names + of the generated libraries (e.g., libncursesw.so) to avoid conflict + with existing ncurses libraries. + +20000520 + + modify view.c to make a rudimentary viewer of UTF-8 text if ncurses + is configured with the experimental wide-character support. + + add a simple UTF-8 output driver to the experimental wide-character + support. If any of the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or + LANG contain the string "UTF-8", this driver will be used to + translate the output to UTF-8. This works with XFree86 xterm. + + modify configure script to allow building shared libraries on BeOS + (from a patch by by Valeriy E Ushakov). + + modify lib_addch.c to allow repeated update to the lower-right + corner, rather than displaying only the first character written until + the cursor is moved. Recent versions of SVr4 curses can update the + lower-right corner, and behave this way (reported by Neil Zanella). + + add a limit-check in _nc_do_color(), to avoid using invalid color + pair value (from bug report by Brendan O'Dea <bod@compusol.com.au>). + +20000513 + + the tack program knows how to use smcup and rmcup but the "show caps + that can be tested" feature did not reflect this knowledge. Correct + the display in the menu tack/test/edit/c (patch by Daniel Weaver). + + xterm-16color does allow bold+colors, removed ncv#32 from that + terminfo entry. + +20000506 + + correct assignment to SP->_has_sgr_39_49 in lib_dft_fgbg.c, which + broke check for screen's AX capability (reported by Valeriy E Ushakov + <uwe@ptc.spbu.ru>). + + change man2html rule in dist.mk to workaround bug in some man-programs + that ignores locale when rendering hyphenation. + + change web- and ftp-site to dickey.his.com + +20000429 + + move _nc_curr_token from parse_entry.c to comp_scan.c, to work around + problem linking tack on MacOS X DP3. + + include <sys/time.h> in lib_napms.c to compile on MacOS X DP3 + (reported by Gerben Wierda <wierda@holmes.nl>). + + modify lib_vidattr.c to check for ncv fixes when pair-0 is not + default colors. + + add -d option to ncurses.c, to turn on default-colors for testing. + + add a check to _nc_makenew() to ensure that newwin() and newpad() + calls do not silently fail by passing too-large limits. + + add symbol NCURSES_SIZE_T to use rather than explicit 'short' for + internal window and pad sizes. Note that since this is visible in + the WINDOW struct, it would be an ABI change to make this an 'int' + (prompted by a question by Bastian Trompetter + <btrompetter@firemail.de>, who attempted to create a 96000-line pad). + +20000422 + + add mgterm terminfo entry from NetBSD, minor adjustments to sun-ss5, + aixterm entries -TD + + modify tack/ansi.c to make it more tolerant of bad ANSI replies.

Modify related calls to + _tracechar() to use unctrl() instead. + +20000325 + + add screen's AX capability (for ECMA SGR 39 and 49) to applicable + terminfo entries, use presence of this as a check for a small + improvement in setting default colors. + + improve logic in _nc_do_color() implementing assume_default_colors() + by passing in previous color pair info to eliminate redundant call to + set_original_colors(). (Part of this is from a patch by Alexander + Lukyanov). + + modify warning in _nc_trans_string() about a possibly too-long string + to do this once only rather than for each character past the + threshold (600). Change interface of _nc_trans_string() to allow + check for buffer overflow. + + correct use of memset in _nc_read_entry_source() to initialize ENTRY + struct each time before reading new data into it, rather than once + per loop (cf: 990301). This affects multi-entry in-core operations + such as "infocmp -Fa". + +20000319 + + remove a spurious pointer increment in _nc_infotocap() changes from + 20000311.

Otherwise one parameter is + indexed past the end of the uses-array. + + add an option -q to infocmp to specify the less verbose output, + keeping the existing format as the default, though not retaining the + previous behavior that made the -F option compare each entry to + itself. + + adapted patch by Eric Raymond to make infocmp -F less verbose + (the submitted patch was unusable because it did not compile + properly): + + modify write_entry.c to ensure that absent or cancelled booleans + are written as FALSE, for consistency with infocmp which now + assumes this. Note that for the small-core configuration, tic + may not produce the same result as before. + + change some private library interfaces used by infocmp, e.g., + _nc_resolve_uses(). + + add a check in _nc_infotocap() to ensure that cm-style capabilities + accept only %d codes when converting the format from terminfo to + termcap. + + modify ENTRY struct to separate the data in 'parent' into the name + and link values (the original idea to merge both into 'parent' was + not good). + + discard repair_acsc(tterm); + > patch by Juergen Pfeifer: + + drop support for gnat 3.10 + + move generated documentation and html files under ./doc directory, + adding makefile rules for this to dist.mk + +20000304 + + correct conflicting use of tparm() in 20000226 change to tic, which + made it check only one entry at a time. + + fix errors in ncurses-intro.html and hackguide.html shown by Dave + Raggett's tidy. + + make the example in ncurses-intro.html do something plausible, and + corrected misleading comment (reported by Neil Zanella). + + modify pnoutrefresh() to set newscr->_leaveok as wnoutrefresh() does, + to fix a case where the cursor position was not updated as in + Solaris (patch by David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>). + + add a limit-check for wresize() to ensure that a subwindow does not + address out of bounds. + + correct offsets used for subwindows in wresize() (patch by Michael + Andres <ma@suse.de>). + + regenerate html'ized manual pages with man2html 3.0.1 (patch by + Juergen Pfeifer). This generated a file with a space in its name, + which I removed. + + fix a few spelling errors in tack. + + modify tack/Makefile.in to match linker options of progs/Makefile.in; + otherwise it does not build properly for older HPUX shared library + configurations. + + add several terminfo entries from esr's "11.0". + +20000226 + + make 'tput flash' work properly for xterm by flushing output in + delay_output() when using napms(), and modifying xterm's terminfo to + specify no padding character. Otherwise, xterm's reported baud rate + can mislead ncurses into producing too few padding characters + (Debian #58530). + + add a check to tic for consistency between sgr and the separate + capabilities such as smso, use this to check/correct several + terminfo entries (Debian #58530). + + add a check to tic if cvvis is the same as cnorm, adjusted several + terminfo entries to remove the conflict (Debian #58530). + + correct prototype shown in attr_set()/wattr_set() manpages (fixes + Debian #53962). + + minor clarification for curs_set() and leaveok() manpages. + + use mkstemp() for creating temporary file for tic's processing of + $TERMCAP contents (fixes Debian #56465). + + correct two errors from integrating Alexander's changes: did not + handle the non-bce case properly in can_erase_with() (noted by + Alexander), and left fg/bg uninitialized in the pair-zero case of + _nc_do_color() (reported by Dr Werner Fink <werner@suse.de> and + Ismael Cordeiro <ismael@cordeiro.com>). + +20000219 + + store default-color code consistently as C_MASK, even if given as + -1 for convenience (adapted from patches by Alexander Lukyanov). + > patches by Alexander Lukyanov: + + change can_clear_with() macro to accommodate logic for + assume_default_colors(), making most of the FILL_BCE logic + unnecessary.

Previously it was possible to have it filled + with old blank. The wrong over-optimization was introduced in 991002 + patch. (it is not very critical as the only bad effect is not using + clr_eos for clearing if blank has changed). + +20000205 + + minor corrections/updates to several terminfo entries: rxvt-basic, + vt520, vt525, ibm5151, xterm-xf86-v40 -TD + + modify ifdef's for poll() to allow it to use <sys/poll.h>, thereby + allowing poll() to be used on Linux. + + add CF_FUNC_POLL macro to check if poll() is able to select from + standard input. If not we will not use it, preferring select() + (adapted from patch by Michael Pakovic <mpakovic@fdn.com>). + + update CF_SHARED_OPTS macro for SCO Unixware 7.1 to allow building + shared libraries (reported/tested by Thanh <thanhma@mediaone.net>). + + override $LANGUAGE in build to avoid incorrect ordering of keynames. + + correct CF_MATH_LIB parameter, must be sin(x), not sqrt(x). + +20000122 + + resync CF_CHECK_ERRNO and CF_LIB_PREFIX macros from tin and xterm. + + modify CF_MATH_LIB configure macro to parameterize the test function + used, for reuse in dialog and similar packages. + + correct tests for file-descriptors in OS/2 EMX mouse support. A + negative value could be used by FD_SET, causing the select() call + to wait indefinitely. + +20000115 + + additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of delete_character) + to work when assume_default_colors() is not specified. + + modify warning message from _nc_parse_entry() regarding extended + capability names to print only if tic/infocmp/toe have the -v flag + set, and not at all in ordinary user applications. Otherwise, this + warning would be shown for screen's extended capabilities in programs + that use the termcap interface (reported by Todd C Miller). + + modify use of _nc_tracing from programs such as tic so their debug + level is not in the same range as values set by trace() function. + + small panel header cleanup (patch by Juergen Pfeifer). + + add 'railroad' demo for termcap interface. + + modify 'tic' to write its usage message to stderr (patch by Todd C + Miller). + +20000108 + + add prototype for erase() to curses.h.in, needed to make test + programs build with c++/g++. + + add .c.i and .c.h suffix rules to generated makefiles, for debugging. + + correct install rule for tack.1; it assumed that file was in the + current directory (reported by Mike Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com>). + + modify terminfo/termcap translation to suppress acsc before trying + sgr if the entry would be too large (patch by Todd C Miller). + + document a special case of incompatiblity between ncurses 4.2 and + 5.0, add a section for this in INSTALL. + + add TRACE_DATABASE flag for trace(). + +20000101 + + update mach, add mach-color terminfo entries based on Debian diffs + for ncurses 5.0 -TD + + add entries for xterm-hp, xterm-vt220, xterm-vt52 and xterm-noapp + terminfo entries -TD + + change OTrs capabilities to rs2 in terminfo.src -TD + + add obsolete and extended capabilities to 'screen' terminfo -TD + + corrected conversion from terminfo rs2 to termcap rs (cf: 980704) + + make conversion to termcap ug (underline glitch) more consistently + applied. + + fix out-of-scope use of 'personal[]' buffer in 'toe' (this error + was in the original pre-1.9.7 version, when $HOME/.terminfo was + introduced). + + modify 'toe' to ignore terminfo directories to which it has no + permissions. + + modify read_termtype(), fixing 'toe', which could dump core when it + found an incomplete entry such as "dumb" because it did not + initialize its buffer for _nc_read_file_entry(). + + use -fPIC rather than -fpic for shared libraries on Linux, not + needed for i386 but some ports (from Debian diffs for 5.0). + + use explicit VALID_NUMERIC() checks in a few places that had been + overlooked, and add a check to ensure that init_tabs is nonzero, + to avoid divide-by-zero (reported by Todd C Miller). + + minor fix for CF_ANSI_CC_CHECK configure macro, for HPUX 10.x (from + tin). + +19991218 + + reorder tests during mouse initialization to allow for gpm to run in + xterm, or for xterm to be used under OS/2 EMX. Also drop test for + $DISPLAY in favor of kmous=\E[M or $TERM containing "xterm" (report + by Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>). + + modify raw() and noraw() to clear/restore IEXTEN flag which affects + stty lnext on systems such as FreeBSD (report by Bruce Evans + <bde@zeta.org.au>, via Jason Evans <jasone@canonware.com>). + + fix a potential (but unlikely) buffer overflow in failed() function + of tset.c (reported by Todd C Miller). + + add manual-page for ncurses extensions, documented curses_version(), + use_extended_names(). + +19991211 + + treat as untranslatable to termcap those terminfo strings which + contain non-decimal formatting, e.g., hexadecimal or octal. + + correct commented-out capabilities that cannot be translated to + termcap, which did not check if a colon must be escaped. + + correct termcap translation for "%>" and "%+", which did not check + if a colon must be escaped, for instance. + + use save_string/save_char for _nc_captoinfo() to eliminate fixed + buffer (originally for _nc_infotocap() in 960301 -TD). + + correct expression used for terminfo equivalent of termcap %B, + adjust regent100 entry which uses this. + + some cleanup and commenting of ad hoc cases in _nc_infotocap(). + + eliminate a fixed-buffer in tic, used for translating comments. + + add manpage for infotocap + +19991204 + + add kvt and gnome terminfo entries -TD + + correct translation of "%%" by infotocap, which was emitted as "%". + + add "obsolete" termcap strings to terminfo.src + + modify infocmp to default to showing obsolete capabilities rather + than terminfo only. + + modify write_entry.c so that if extended names (i.e., configure + --enable-tcap-names) are active, then tic will also write "obsolete" + capabilities that are present in the terminfo source. + + modify tic so that when running as captoinfo or infotocap, it + initializes the output format as in -C and -I options, respectively. + + improve infocmp and tic -f option by splitting long strings that do + not have if-then-else construct, but do have parameters, e.g., the + initc for xterm-88color. + + refine MKtermsort.sh slightly by using bool for the *_from_termcap + arrays. + +19991127 + + additional fixes for non-bce terminals (handling of clear_screen, + clr_eol, clr_eos, scrolling) to work when assume_default_colors() is + not specified. + + several small changes to xterm terminfo entries -TD. + + move logic for _nc_windows in lib_freeall.c inside check for nonnull + SP, since it is part of that struct. + + remove obsolete shlib-versions, which was unintentionally re-added + in 970927. + + modify infocmp -e, -E options to ensure that generated fallback.c + type for Booleans agrees with term.h (reported by Eric Norum + <eric@cls.usask.ca>). + + correct configure script's use of $LIB_PREFIX, which did not work + for installing the c++ directory if $libdir did not end with "/lib" + (reported by Huy Le <huyle@ugcs.caltech.edu>). + + modify infocmp so -L and -f options work together. + + modify the initialization of SP->_color_table[] in start_color() so + that color_content() will return usable values for COLORS greater + than 8. + + modify ncurses 'd' test in case COLORS is greater than 16, e.g., for + xterm-88color, to limit the displayed/computed colors to 16. + > patch by Juergen Pfeifer: + + simplify coding of the panel

control + over the use of default colors. + + modify test programs to use more-specific ifdef's for existence of + wresize(), resizeterm() and use_default_colors(). + + modify configure script to add
